Hello stalkers!

We have a fix for most users affected by the pre-Ryzen AMD Inventory and Cutscene freezes. An interim patch was posted on Friday which seems to fix the issues for 95% of affected users. As this has been well received we shall also patch today for everybody on the 'Default' branch.

Expect a new patch on Wednesday with more fixes, details to be announced then.

We would suggest that those of you using the 'AMD_test' branch should return to the 'Default' branch when the Wednesday patch goes live.

We are sorry for any inconvenience and thank all you so much for your patience.

Thank you from Funcom and TBLC.

Hello Stalkers!

Thanks for the support so far and much ❤
You guys are really great, so many offers of help these last few days!

Unfortunately we aren't quite there yet with a fix for the freezes on older AMD Processors.

This issue is a root problem with the trifecta of the processor, engine and windows. We have fixed the issue with the game freezing during the cabin cut and the alt-tab issue and the game will no longer lock up completely in the inventory, however the audio stutter can manifest in the inventory.

So what we will do for the time being is give out this password for a beta branch we added *HKS73903BBSnwee3D*, at their own risk affected users can download this branch and play the game (saves and settings should all work). NOTE. Keep the volume sliders to Max.

We'd rather not put out a global patch until we are 100% happy with it otherwise we're forcing users to download a hefty patch to be followed by a second very soon.

We hope that will help at least some of you this weekend, a solid patch will be delivered early next week.

Thanks!

Stalkers and mutants rejoice!

It is time to venture into the irradiated Zone to discover the truth behind the mythical Eden, a potential safe haven in the post-apocalyptic wasteland, alongside your mutated Stalker companions.

She might look like a cute little heartbreaker, but she's no sweet little love maker.  Meet the foxy vixen, Farrow!

Farrow is one of the recruitable characters you'll encounter during your expeditions in The Zone.  When you find her, you may notice that while she's clearly a combat-ready Stalker, she ain't quite from around here; in fact, she's not even originally from the Ark!

Her true origins are a mystery - even to her.  All she knows is her name's Farrow, and she's a product of the Zone.  She thought her settlement was the only place left in the whole world...

Well, until she met you.



You'll initially discover Farrow in what people call the Metal Fields; there, you'll be greeted by a mob of Polis-Bots itching to dispense "justice".  Well probably anyway, if robots could feel.  Or itch.



 
Specializing in stealth and assassination, Farrow comes equipped with skills and gear that make her adept at quickly and quietly dispatching her foes.  Her signature ability, Silent Assassin, doubles her critical strike chance against enemies while she's hidden! This makes her particularly valuable for initiating combat out of stealth, such as when picking off stragglers.

Combine Silent Assassin with items and boosts that further increase crit chance for fantastic results:



Other choices allow Farrow to remain hidden while moving between cover, and later she can mutate to possess extreme mobility, able to leap great distances or effortlessly gain high ground advantages.

 

Let's take a closer look at what Farrow's cookin' with:



Important gameplay note: You can only equip one Minor (Square), one Major (Hexagon), and one Passive (Circle) mutation at a time!

Now, Let's take a quick look at her passive stat mutations:



Farrow is the only Stalker capable of increasing their innate critical strike rate. Stat boosts are ALWAYS ACTIVE as long as you've put points into them; you don't have to "equip" the bonuses like you would with other mutations. 

As you can see, Farrow's all about leaving busted heads and broken hearts left in her wake.

How will you utilize Farrow?  We'd love to hear how she fits into your playstyle when Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden launches on December 4th.

Alright Stalkers, that's all for now.  We'll see you in the Zone real soon.



 

 

The most important thing to keep in mind about Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden is that you can’t just run up to a group of enemies, take them on, and expect to come out of the encounter alive.

Doing this means you will be crushed. Over and over and over again. Instead you must learn to use stealth and plan your major attack in detail.

The tactical combat follows many of the rules from similar games (like XCOM) – you have two actions per round, shooting ends your turn, you can learn special abilities, you can overwatch etc – but there are many other factors you must keep in mind.
