Update 0.4.8.4

Update News

Hello friends! Today we’re excited to share details about the latest update.

Map

• A new entrance to the anomalous zone is now available through the anomaly itself. Inside, you’ll be able to discover a new artifact.

• The hunter’s house has been updated with a newly furnished hunter’s room.

• Construction of hermit defensive outposts in the swamps has begun.

• Distant shadows (DFS technology) have been disabled, as they were causing shadow artifacts in apartments and on long objects.

• The borders of the swamp have been expanded, giving players more space to explore. Work also continues on the “Marshes” location.

• New objects have been added along the road from the village to the swamps. Steam post image

Mechanics

• Sprint with auto-walk now works correctly: pressing Shift makes the character run, pressing again stops running but keeps walking.

• Small and regular medkits now slightly reduce pain, helping when no painkillers are available.

• The accumulation rate of toxins and radiation in water has been reduced by half.

• Added a sound effect for flashlight on/off, updated its light texture, and reduced its radius.

User Interface

• Removed the “no weapon equipped” notification.

• Repositioned buttons in the load list.

• Save slot numbering removed: each type of save now has a single slot.

• Artifacts now display stat descriptions (if available).

• Added a new icon in the Item Info window (top-right corner) to indicate equipment without a visible model on the character. This feature allows us to create any type of equipment without requiring a visual model — saving significant development time. Such items will appear in the next major update.

• Improved localization and fixed several UI errors.

• In the Fishing window, all text is now outlined for better readability. Steam post image

Miscellaneous

• Fixed a quest for the chief military officer.

• The deer death sound is now spatial.

• Adjusted the ending of the “Supply” quest.

• Added a sound effect for car headlights on/off.

• Updated the lighting of the new car model.

• Game difficulty now has a stronger impact on fishing:

  • Higher difficulty = more fish can be caught.

  • Lower difficulty = fishing is faster.

• Grenades and dynamite can now be purchased from the chief military officer:

  • 6 types available, 10 pieces each.

  • Availability depends on military reputation.

  • Includes: RG-42, RGD-5, RGO, RGN, dynamite, F-1.
