Fans aren’t surprised that the open-world FPS is glitchy since the first game had its fair share of bugs. Even with previous experience, the fact that there’s a serious progress-erasing bug like this is worrisome. Gamers may want to wait a bit before picking this FPS up but it’s not the end of the world if they do.
Here’s what we know about fixing this issue and what players can do to prevent this bug.
Fixing the STALKER 2 save bug

Luckily, some fans have found a workaround for this issue. A post from the game’s subreddit said turning off autosave has helped players. It might annoy some players since they will have to save manually after, but this is the best thing gamers have for now.
When is the next STALKER 2 patch?
Due to how damaging this STALKER 2 save bug is, players want to know when the next big patch will be coming. This is only one of many bugs affecting the open-world shooter, so a patch is needed. Luckily, the developers have said a big patch is coming out sometime next week so gamers can rest easy.
Because the shooter was made in Ukraine during its current war, players have been understanding of the game’s technical flaws. Many players will say that it’s still a more than playable experience, so curious gamers should check it out.
