STALKER 2 Patch 2.0.4 is available now, bringing fixes for 26 different crashes, glowing characters, broken DLC autosaves, and several frustrating mission problems.

In this video, I break down the most important changes included in the latest STALKER 2 hotfix and explain what they mean for players.

Patch 2.0.4 includes:

• Visual fixes for glowing NPCs, weapons, and Skif’s hands
• Lighting and weather improvements
• Important DLC autosave and mission fixes
• Xbox audio and Series S graphics improvements
• Fixes for 26 different crashes
• One caffeine-related bug that was funny—until it wasn’t

This isn’t a massive update, but it fixes more than you might expect. Have you noticed any improvements, new bugs, or strange anomalies since installing Patch 2.0.4? Let me know below; your reports could appear in next week’s video.
