Stalker Photo Mode

v0. 4 – Smooth camera

The big change in this release is camera motion. Moving the camera used to drop your framerate noticeably; in v0. 4 it is as smooth as regular gameplay. A handful of minor stability fixes went along with it.

If you are updating from an earlier version, delete the old mod folder before installing.

Bring a real photo mode to the Zone

StalkerPhotoMode adds a dedicated runtime photo mode to S. T. A. L. K. E. R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl, inspired by the camera tools you get in modern games. Detach the camera, fly freely through the scene, adjust lens and image settings, slow or pause time, and capture shots directly in-game.
