Would be nice, because those flashlight shadows look really odd and I would rather not have them. So an option to turn them off would be nice to have.

Why does it have to download the whole game every time it patches? It's infuriating.

Stalkers!

As always, by listening to your feedback here on Steam and other social media, we prepared Patch 1.2.1. It is dedicated mostly to fixing crashes, including those on loading save files. Here is the list of changes:

Fixed one of the crashes on loading save files related to AI logic.
Fixed one of the crashes on loading save files that were recorded when player had effects applied.
Fixed a few crashes related to lightning ball anomaly interaction with artifacts.
Fixed crash mostly occurred when moving away from hubs and during the Emission.

Thanks for staying with the Zone and making it a better place. We continue working on the game and implement improvements based on your comments and feedback. If you spot an anomaly, that is not supposed to be in the Zone, please, report it to our colleagues at Technical Support Hub. That will help us spot and investigate potential issues, and deal with them as fast as possible.

It doesn't, it just has to unpack then validate the entire game again. You're only downloading ~11gb

Its moving/copying the game files, while patching them, and deleting the old files.
Patching this way has a much bigger chance of some files getting corrupted, and it causes extra wear on your SSD because how a SSD works.

My steam client decided to re-dowload the whole game for a 2nd time... 128gb or something ... its installed its there, but its "patching" 128 gigs ... whatever that means!

Got it, thanks for that. Still annoying of course.
