Major Patch - Game quality improvement pass 2

This is the last patch before the premiere. It was a busy time for us. We've managed to process 2000 bug fixes and improvements since the previous patch. For obvious reasons, you will only find the most important ones listed in the changelog below.

Technology:

- We have deeply optimized the performance of the CPU. As a result, the game should run MUCH smoother with a high number of enemies on the map. We have also introduced a change in the way opponents are highlighted. We hope you will like the new effect.
- We have added a loading bar that informs you of the game loading progress.
- We fixed most of the crashes that were reported to us.

Localization:

- We've added 2 community driven languages - Hungarian and Ukrainian. It's the first pass, so you may still encounter errors and missing names of items. The work on Czech and Turkish is still ongoing.
- We have fixed another large batch of localization bugs and bugs where texts do not fit in the windows.

Additional improvement and feedback:

- During trading, information is displayed about how many sold or bought items are in our inventory.
- When talking to companions, information about their state of health / psyche and the modifiers that affect them are displayed.
- On the timeline, when interacting with the crystals, information appears about the impact of a given decision on your companions and which mission it relates to. As a result, the consequences of changing reality should be much clearer.
- After training with a companion, the player now receives a notification about acquiring a new skill with a clear frame.
- Melee attack was changed from punch to knife strike. We've also improved how opponents react to it.
- Story Notes are now marked on the map, making them easier to find.
- Moving through low radiation areas no longer slows down the player. This should significantly improve combat and stealth in radioactive places.
- We have introduced numerous AI tweaks in patrol state. For example, the enemies should be much more responsive when they find a body or hear a mine blast.
- We've added a new loading screen for instances where Igor doesn't use the portal.
- Lenses in the sights are more transparent so as not to obstruct the shooting
- Old saves will no longer be deleted when a player starts a new game.
- We have added a tutorial encouraging you to commence the heist if the player has finished all available story missions.
- We have added Checkpoints at the NAR prison level. As a result, it will be easier not to lose your progress.
- When an item is dropped on the ground due to an inventory overflow (for example, during trading), the player is informed about it via a tutorial.
- All machines built by the player are marked on the map.
- Information about the current quest is displayed while browsing the map.

General:

- Due to the previously used algorithm, our companions failed far too often, even with a high chance of mission success. We fixed it.
- Tooltips should now display better if the player has changed control mapping.
- PDAs should highlight soldiers' corpses if there is loot on them.
- Esc key should now close all fullscreen UI.
- In specific circumstances, the UI of the weapon was still visible when we entered the fractal world. We fixed it.
- We fixed a rare bug where subtitles were hanging after ending a conversation.
- The loading screen sometimes disappeared too quickly, and part of the level was loading in front of the player. We fixed it.
- We fixed a bug where the player had two PDAs in their backpack.
- We fixed a bug where the enemy's laser sight would sometimes show up even though it was disabled in the settings.
- We fixed the ability to split some indivisible items in your inventory into tenths (e.g., adrenaline, flash drive).
- We fixed a bug where it was possible to remain in the build system during cutscenes.
- We fixed a bug where the loot UI remained visible on the screen permanently.
- Regular NPCs should no longer trigger traps.
- Radar highlights no longer disappear after using a stealth kill or receiving fall injuries.
- Black Stalker would not show up during the Hermit quest if we had failed the quest and went on a second quest the next day. We fixed it.
- During the Old Hideout quest, after loading the checkpoint, Igor sometimes forgot a poem. We fixed it.
- During the Old Hideout quest, if we were doing the mission "out of sequence" the quest marker would hang on the monument. We fixed it.
- We improved the operation of the NPCs. They should remember that they already got to know us and not introduce themselves every time.
- In particular conditions, the first tutorial soldiers in the power plant could kill us. We fixed it.
- The Black Stalker should no longer show up in strange moments, such as cutscenes.
- Sashko's loyalty should work correctly during the Black Stalker quest.

Rev 44944 Hotfix

General:

- Chernobylite Plasma Thrower should now function properly. I don't know how we could have missed it :/
- Crash that appeared on the benchmark when testing high game settings should no longer occur.
- Speedrun (you must be REALLY very fast to break it) during power plant level should no longer block the game during the inventory tutorial.
- Some weapon accessories were levitating in the air. We fixed it.

Chernobylite is available in full version for PC!

Enter the Zone and see what has changed

Hello Stalkers!

It's been a long road, but we finally reached the finish line. When we released Chernobylite on Early Access, even in our wildest dreams we couldn’t foresee the extent to which a project created by a small group of enthusiasts would grow.

Today we’re giving you the full version of Chernobylite!

How much the game has changed in Early Access?

We extended the game time three times. Now it takes an average of 25 hours to complete it.

We expanded the game with 15 new story missions, as well as numerous random events in all locations.

We’ve introduced 11 new characters. In addition to side characters such as Konstanty, Locksmith, Semyon, Vagabond, Volodya, we’ve added a new companion to the game - Olga

We supplemented the game world with 10 new maps. Including: prologue, Pripyat Central and Red Forest, NAR prison.

We've added new enemies: 4 new monsters and some new variants of NAR soldiers.

We’ve given you 5 new weapons with a whole range of upgrades at your disposal.

We tossed in a whole host of technical and gameplay improvements, such as character development, weapon and item crafting, difficulty levels, improved enemy AI etc.

The soundtrack for the game was composed by Mikołaj Stroiński, known among gamers as the author of music, incl. for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and Vanishing of Ethan Carter.

...and many others.

All the work that we’ve devoted to the game consists of:

- 35,000 scanned 3D models
- 7,000 lines of dialogue (that's 110,000 words!)
- 100 days spent in the Chernobyl zone
- 14,000 bugs fixed
- countless feedback from our players

All this work was certainly not in vain.

What's new?

Those who have the game in Early Access will be happy that we've made a ton of bug fixes that were caught by us, as well as those that you reported to us on the Steam forum. Thanks again! But these are not the only novelties we’ve prepared for the game's premiere.

Technology:

- In cooperation with AMD, we have fully implemented FidelityFX Super Resolution 1.0
- We improved memory management that could cause micro stuttering on slow HDDs and weaker computers.
- We have resolved the various crashes that were reported to us. The game should be more stable.

Additional:

- Heist level Finished: It is now 3 times longer and can be completed from start to finish in many different variants.
- Game ending: You can end the game in several ways and see an outro depending on your decisions.
- New weapon: Railgun. There are too few weapons in chernobylite? So here is the kinetic cannon. It uses the power of Chernobylite to instantly energize the coils and use them to create an enormous electromagnetic field that gives the projectiles great strength and speed.
- New base structure: Railgun Calibration Tools. It will allow you to create 14 upgrades that will have a considerable impact on the operation of the Railgun.
- Photo mode. The Chernobylite world is a great place to take some photos. We decided to make it a bit easier for you ;)

Hotfix 1.0.4.a

This fix patches the problems of not being able to disassemble objects after completing the tutorial or after loading a savegame.

In addition:

- Fixed a bug where the game would crash upon aborting the opening/closing of a barricade
- Fixed a bug where ongoing crafting interactions upon saving would be aborted. They are now paused and will continue upon loading.
- Some missing crafting recipes were added.
- Fixed an error with spear combat animation speed.
- Prevent the assist-bubble on players currently grabbed by dreamers.

Known issues:

- When paused interactions continue after loading, the animations of the working player or the progress bubble are not always updated. Players seem to be standing idle. You can see at their progress bar in their inventory however that there actually is progress.
- When during the ongoing construction of a barricade a game is saved/loaded, moving the player away from the barricade will consume the resources and lock the construction site in an unaccessible state.

We'll look into those issues next.

Thanks for all the clues and help from the community!
