I haven't been there, and if I'm not mistaken you can only get there with noclip Ah I see. So you see the nuclear power plant on the PDA map but you can't actually explore there.

Come to think of it, the only time in the entire series we go there is in SoC right? And even that is like the last mission of the game and it's brief and linear.

Now have about 128 hours in the game and I'm exploring Pripyat before I head on to the next story mission. Pripyat is freaking spooky!

Big patch released yesterday that fixes a lot of memory leaks and improves frame rate across the board. I tried it out for a while last night and I noticed the difference.

No problems here, really glad they fixed the shader loading at the start... still in Garbage at the moment. 40 hours in...

I have 156 hours in it so far. But not much over the past couple of weeks since I got a new racing wheel and that has pulled me away.
I wasn't having any troubles really before the patch. I fell afoul of the shaders thing of course, but a quick reload took care of that. Annoying, but didn't affect gameplay at all.

l. I'm at 143 hours so I'm catching up! My next story mission is the "point of no return" mission so I'm holding off on that for now and just doing open exploration to get more of the stashes.

Yeah I did the same. Stopped doing story missions at Down Below. Then I started a new game anyway, playing drifter mode. My goal is to find every artifact, and I want to know if can be done over multiple playthroughs but no one seems to know yet. I think I'm about 15 short between both runs.

I'm currently playing the final story mission and all i can say to other players is BE PREPARED. The sheer number of enemies and "bosses" that you will encounter is ridiculous. Bring your best weapons and armor and LOTS of ammo.

Finished the game last night. The end game mission was both very difficult but also very rewarding. The way the story ends leaves it wide open for another game. That's all I will say.
