Greetings snipers,

Control has issued an update regarding the recent save game issues that a limited number of you reported following our September patch.

At the time, we asked you to not pull the trigger and start a new game, as this could overwrite your existing progress. We’re pleased to confirm the issues identified with the save system have now been addressed in today’s patch:

If you created a new save following the installation of the September patch, you will be able to continue your campaign with this new update. Similarly, any save games created before last month’s patch are also safe to continue. Unfortunately, any save games loaded during September’s patch are permanently gone due to unforeseen corruption issues.

We’ve also fixed an issue with the Steam language option, so the game now boots in the chosen language.

October patch notes

• Save system issues have been addressed:
  
• Saves not loaded on September’s patch will be safe to load on the new build. Players who have not attempted to play the game since then will be safe.
  
• Saves created on the September patch can be continued on the new October build.
  
• However, saves loaded on the previous patch released in September are unfortunately gone permanently due to unforeseen corruption issues.
  
• Removed 20GB of unnecessary textures
  
• Fixed a language issue where the game would boot in English regardless of the selection made in Steam properties. Now boots in the selected language.

Earlier this month, we rolled out a new update to Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts that increased texture resolution, disabled network mode, and fixed issues related to audio and data loss in local saves.

Regrettably, we were unable to push patch notes at the same time the update was rolled out, which resulted in some confusion regarding what it included, especially since it was a large patch. We apologised and, as soon as we were able to, shared the update details with you all.

However, since the update launched, it’s come to our attention that some players are experiencing an issue whereby they can’t locate/access their previous saves. If you’re experiencing this issue, rest assured that your saved data is still intact. The problem is related to how the game is recognising your save. Please avoid starting a new game, as this could overwrite your existing progress.

Solving this save game issue is a top priority for us, and we’ll update you with further details as quickly as we have them. We appreciate your continued patience until then.

You’ve been more patient than a professional sniper awaiting that perfect shot. But get ready to pull the trigger, as the wait is finally over…

As of today, all versions of Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts 2 will now include ‘Butcher’s Banquet’: a major expansion which introduces an entirely new, unexplored region - The Temple - complete with all-new objectives and some of your most deadly contracts, yet. In addition, today’s patch also added Chinese VO to the main game. Check out the dramatic trailer below…


The stunning desert-like area, made up of luscious oases, dramatic waterfalls, and mysterious temples, might look picturesque, but make no mistake - it’s no holiday destination. Following the recent turmoil in Kuamar, a new threat has been allowed to surface. The movement is led by the notorious Mahmoud Zarza... aka ‘The Butcher’. Unpredictable and incredibly dangerous (hence the monika), we need you to eliminate him and his equally-lethal associates, and in doing so, put a stop to the faction's rapid uprising… as only you know how.
