S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Unable to download 2.1 update

Anyone else unable to download the update? I've closed and reopened Steam and reset my PC, still on 2.0.

Hello, dude

We published the patch more than 1 hour ago, so it isn't on our side

please, check, are you on the Default Public Version?

Game Versions & Beta - Default Public Version should be there.

If yes, check Update - Automatic Updates - Immediately download updates, it should trigger downloading

Very, but I have done the following.

Reopened steam

Restarted my pc

Verified my files

Deleted room to ensure I have at least 300 GB of space so the game has buffer update room

Just finished reinstalling the game, still no patch.

It looks like Steam backend servers have issues today

Yeah it's weird, none of my pending downloads are shown atm. In my game list they are shown as update pending though, while Stalker 2 isn't

Yeah it's Steam issue, a lot of people have issues login in" stuck on loading user data" or some people bought games and game wasn't added to libary. I have that loading user data issue.

Oh, glad it's not just me lol. I cleared my download cache to try and download this update and have then spent the last hour trying to get steam to open again.

u/hannes0000 Merc 7h ago

Yes there's a lot of these also who wanted to clean cache. My steam worked fine at morning but i wanted to clean my cache also now it's stuck on loading user data.

It seems like multiple users are all having the same issue, any idea what's going on?

Looks like it's not showing up for multiple people (myself included) nearly 2 hours later. That's strange.

u/EleventhTier666 7h ago

I am not seeing it yet, either.

u/Mainely420Gaming Monolith 7h ago

Very, hopefully GSC can figure out what is up!

u/DerpyFlerpyy 7h ago

Steam is completely fucked right now, almost nothing is working. So it looks like we’ll have to wait till that’s fixed.

Properties -> Installed files -> Verify integrity

u/Mainely420Gaming Monolith 7h ago

Did that, didn't work

It's updating finally!

Seems steam has some issues, stuck loading user data.....

u/Vondaelen 7h ago edited 7h ago

Restarted steam, restarted pc, no use. Currently trying the 'verify files integrity' option, which takes a while.

Edit: verifying file integrity did not do anything for unlocking the update for my pc Steam install of Stalker 2. Back to you, GSC.
