Winter is a tough season, especially in the Zone. And even though some winter days felt like late March, stalkers are jubilant to welcome the advent of spring. The season when everything is new, the world refreshes, and the Zone is no exception. Curious mutants lurking through the grass searching for adventures, artefacts and anomalies are easier to spot. Seasoned veterans are ready to find what was left under the snow, some romantic stalkers are happy to see first flowers and traders are ready to welcome newcomers.

Spring is a big deal to them, tons of rookies are looking to venture for a better life, and they need equipment, and food, and drinks, and, you can see where it goes. Most rookies go by the established route. Steam offers discounts up to 75% for classic S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games.



But some future stalkers can venture into the unknown, that is console Zone, and try S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Legends of the Zone trilogy. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. world joins consoles, and you can try to survive and find your way with a gamepad. This route is branched into two separate entries, {LINK REMOVED}Xbox Store and {LINK REMOVED}PlayStation Store. It is up to you to choose one you prefer.

Saints Row will be coming to Steam this summer - wishlist now and follow this steam page for the latest news and updates

To celebrate the occasion we have a Daily Deal running on all games in the Saints Row series starting now.

Minor update in the renderers initialization sequence to address issue with freezing the game on computers powered by 12th Gen Intel® Core™ processors running on Windows 11.

Patch affects only R2 render (Full Dynamic Lighting @ DirectX® 9).
The reason behind this issue is the fact Intel dropped hardware support for DX9 in their integrated graphics cards found in 12th Gen (and upper) CPUs and discrete Arc GPUs.
To support older games, emulation layer called D3D9On12 is used to translate DX9 API calls to DX12 at runtime.
The game has somewhat complicated initialization which locked the emulator.
To address the issue, initialization was simplified a bit to be more emulator friendly.

Update, June 15

Thanks to the valuable patch feedback collected in this thread, we’re releasing a really tiny fix:


• R2 render (Dynamic Lighting) should now work properly on the systems with outdated DirectX End-User Runtime
  
• Multiplayer servers with previous version should not reject clients with the new version
  
• On numerous requests, we created public “beta” branch called “pre-win11-patch” which points to the game version without this patch
  
• Information for modders: the only file changed in the patch is “xrRender_R2.dll”

Adrenaline roof jumps or painstaking, step by bolt, advance to the goal? Bloodthirsty zombies or predatory mutants? The nights that turn hunters to prey, or the Emission that gives you the only chance to survive by hiding as deep as possible? Together with our partners at Techland, we got you an option to add both the universes to your collection at once!

The “Dying Light Definitive Edition + S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Trilogy” bundle is already available here in Steam.

Today, the oldest campfire in the Zone is burning, having been alight for 16 years.

How many stalkers have come to bask in its warm glow, seeking respite from the terrifying adventures of the Zone? Countless. How many shadows have tried to extinguish it? Yet it still burns.

Dozens of broken guitars, hundreds of stale bread loaves, and thousands of empty cans litter the campsite. Leftover sausages and energy drink cans... This fire heard so many stories! No stalker in the entire Zone knows them all, but the fire remembers each one.



For 16 years, the Zone's campfire has been with us, since it was first lit in 2007, the day S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl was released. Thanks to you, the fire still burns and welcomes stalkers, listens to legends, and helps us survive the dark and dangerous nights of the Zone.

Thank you for joining these gatherings 16 years ago and writing legends with us.

Happy 16th Anniversary of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl, Stalkers!

Bright Emission illuminates the sky. Seems the Noosphere is proceeding that stalkers from Awaken Realms have discovered — something that will forever go down in the history of the Zone. Rumors say that these explorers are true masters of their craft and are ready to share some fruits of the expedition!

Clues we've got: you'll need a squad of stalker mates, a safe shelter with one evening supply stock, and… a table. Perhaps a campfire for complete immersion. We guess the best chance to clear it out is on their stream that’s start right now:
