[boreal sapphire]

Anyone know more info about weapon stats?

[humble cobalt]

The zone feels so dead...

[quasi saffron]

Can i say? Its freaking amazing how they made those effects for flying leaves on the wind. Makes me shit my pants thinking im about to enter a gravitational anomaly

Also i love how burners have burned grass around them

And how there's anomalies everywhere and not only in clusters

[novel axle]

Penetration is king

[foggy pulsar]

i hate ubisoft games, gsc pls fix

[boreal sapphire]

or anyone seen any guides that go into more information about weapon stats?

[clear spoke]

It’s so dumb, I am in swamp zone and everytime when the erosion comes I can’t hide wtf,

[proper basalt]

hey theres a early val in the lesser zone if you know where to look

[sleek crater]

Poppy fields

[novel axle]

Val? first hidden gun I go for is the Ak with a scope, the one where u need to go get the money back for the barkeep, on top of the water tower there is a Ak47/s with a scope thats at 80% condition in a stash up there

[summer burrow]

Guess I'm going back for that, I missed it

[novel axle]

Sadly u cannot take the scope off it as far as I can tell. but its a free scoped AK.

[proper basalt]

in cordon ||DEATH CAVE|| theres a as val in disrepair

[quasi saffron]

Is it just me or is this gun complete doodoo?

Its description says that Its really beat up but well maintained

I shot like 60 rounds off it and it lost a lot of durability

[clear spoke]

Can anyone help me here ?

[proper basalt]

most early guns seem to lose a lot of durability and same with higher power my vector doesnt lose a lot though

[sleek crater]

What you need

[novel axle]

Maybe the enemies managed to shoot your gun? your gun CAN take damage from external sources like impacts and gunshots. some weapons even have a upgrade to lower this external damage

[north jackal]

Damn we should have asked Mol1t if A-Life was ever working or did it only break in recent builds

[sleek crater]

Side arms are cheaper to repair and ammunition is also cheap

[orchid isle]

This company has A LOT on the to-do list. Hope they're eager to fix this mess. I'm gonna keep playing but probably not going to be my main save.

[novel axle]

I just like the Scoped ak because it has a scope, giving me a gun in a stalker game with a scope means anything human is screwed. as it'll be 1 shot 1 kill pretty much all the time

[clear spoke]

Everytime when I am in swamp zone erosion comes and I can’t hide please help

[topaz plume]

I hope they prioritise the AI to be honest, the fact its spawning 20 meters from me even though I literally just checked the location is absurd, I'd understand 200-300 meters to make the zone feel more alive, but where's the "A-LIFE 2.0"?

[quasi saffron]

Holy moly i didn't know

[novel axle]

Right after I looted the scoped Ak47 3 military npcs spawned and started to shoot at me, and I took them all out with 1 shot each from the top of the water tower

[static lotus]

Lets hope we get a patch today.

[sleek crater]

You mean emission? Or erosion, don't swim, and make sure your carry weight isn't red

[orchid isle]

I agree. A-Life is going to help a lot and will keep me busy until they fix the rest.

[signal swan]

damn, so many mods already, and not even a toolkit out.

[carmine jackal]

finally made it to sidorovich! He tried to sell me A-Life for 200k, greedy sob.

[novel axle]

yeah, if your durability dips a ton in 1 fight it prob took a bullet or 2 or a swipe from a mutant, as it IS a thing that can happen.

[orchid isle]

Be careful, some untested mods can break your save.

[hot hemlock]

Took a break after yesterday gaming, because kept spawning dog packs in same spot whenever I kill them
Reloaded weapon and they were there again

[muted dune]

when is the '' future patches '' that they are talking about ???

[heady kayak]

Hey at least you are not lonely like IRL

[novel axle]

Thats when i'd just turn aroind and run, as once your far enough away they will despawn. Sadly this is the best way to handle mutants till GSC fixes them as they are not worth killing unless you absoultly have to due to the ammo costs and supply costs.

[hot hemlock]

True, I got dog friends ingame

[quasi saffron]

Absolute cinema

[signal swan]

thus is the fate of us who walk the nexus zone

[lapis kettle]

Asd

[grave venture]

New patch dropped

[strange raft]

Why is there no sound when traversing through tall grass / bushes? it's so immersion breaking its insane, like why? All my friends who play this game say the exact same.

[muted dune]

modders will do that for u

[dapper cliff]

because the game is in early access

[signal swan]

where? when? how?

[nocturne plume]

Wait wha?

[north jackal]

Shouldn't need Modders for that

[grave venture]

It's what I'm going to say when a new patch drops

[static lotus]

Bait 🐟

[strange raft]

what the hell do you mean by "modders will fix it" come on, it should already be in the game, it's clearly missing sounds when traversing through bushes/tall grass..

[dapper cliff]

ban

[signal swan]

let's cover him in tar and throw him in the red forst

[summer burrow]

At night

[orchid isle]

We suffer for the people

[muted dune]

its a feature and they did not add it its not my problem lol, i said modders will add it for u as they always do with lots of additional stuff in other stalker titles

[crystal matrix]

All they need to fix right now:
A-life
Performance
Input lag

[quasi saffron]

Input lag seem to happen when things are loading in

[dapper cliff]

disable frame and mouse smoothering then input lag is gone

[grave venture]

See u in one year

[strange raft]

Ryzen 7800x3d + 4070 super, 0 lag, 0 input lag, 0 stuttering, 0 problems.

[muted dune]

why CSG is celeberating with the game release rather than dropping patches ?

[quasi saffron]

I got a decent computer too and im having very minimal issues as well

[frigid hill]

jimschocolateorange has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[hot hemlock]

Only "lag" I have, is when I'm in the ESC menu and then close it, 1 second freeze and then fine

[crystal matrix]

Ryzen 9 7900x3d, RTX 3090, everything you just said but maxed out

[grave venture]

@nocturne plume calm down bro, it's just a joke

[strange raft]

im also maxxed out, thought it was clear, everything on epic, 0 issues.

[feral charm]

Do you think with the success of the sales is detouring them from working on the game ? I’m 100% sure they are working as fast as they can

[quasi saffron]

Lol no

[crystal matrix]

Ups, im sorry, i meant maxed out on input lag, problems, stutters etc, im playing on low bte

[signal swan]

i had some sporadic crashes until i switched dlss to fsr, no other big issues

[meager marsh]

If alife was ever working normally before why not showcase it in the videos leading up to release? 🤨 don’t tell me it was broken since then too 🤣 lmao

[grave venture]

How can you be 100% sure?

[feral charm]

Common sense !

[dapper cliff]

makes sense from the corporate point of view, dont know how much of a corporation gsc is though

[muted dune]

his prob the executive director and is actually having a coffee with them rn

[grave venture]

His uncle works at gsc

[hot hemlock]

My uncle works for gsc and microsoft

[dapper cliff]

i work in epic support

[orchid isle]

Well hope they drop **something **before taking weekend!

[fast lava]

I work at UBI

[nocturne plume]

Pretty much confirmed that they will not.

[muted dune]

oh thats great, here is a job, overhaul epic launcher and make it not garbage

[hot hemlock]

Funny to see a gigantic storm, NPCs in town chilling and being hit by lightning and they just "Yea, cool, anyway"

[tiny karma]

Dunno where to post it, but if someone could pass it forward. Yesterday I lost to 17 hours of game, had to start from beginning. Basically, when you have last step of “Behind 7 seals” quest, where you need to use key to open doors for northern checkpoint, DO NOT go to Cordon, using south pathway. Near big wall where The Zone ends. I did it, and game detected it as end of “Behind 7 seals” quest and made key to northern checkpoint disappear before I could open it. On this moment I’m not sure if it’s happen, if there’s any other hidden path to continue main quest. Stay safe Stalkers

[grave venture]

You really feel like they are living A-life

[orchid isle]

Ah shit, what did I miss?

[median herald]

I have 8 hours on the game and like 6 hours of them are me restarting the game trying to fix the stutters

[muted dune]

off-stalker but anyone tried chernobylite, is it good stalker vibe game or pass

[hot hemlock]

I know myself when a storm happens irl that makes anomalys or lightning strikes everywhere, I go outside to talk to buddies

[grave venture]

I also like that the bar keeper works 24/7 without sleeping, what a dedicated guy

[ionic cobalt]

Are there any upgrades to let exoskeletons run?

[half seal]

how to deal with toxic mods ? Or to put it another way, do you think it's fair to just be thrown out even though you only asked politely a question? I always thought the community meant GSC so much, I really can't believe that

[hot hemlock]

Who needs to sleep, meet your family or such when you have to grind work and earn that money

[nocturne plume]

Community manager said “likely not today”

[muted dune]

your discord personality is confusing me old bright

[halcyon tusk]

i just lost 60k artifact to a bug

[frozen sinew]

I just realised I should have used the MP5 more often, I have 500 ammo, I was using the scoped ak and it just doesnt really work well close range.
Should I carry the shotgun or is the mp5 all I need?

[half seal]

Not the answer I was looking for

[grave venture]

To be honest although the npc in Skyrim don't have much expression, at least the towns seem more alive than in stalker 2.
Everyone has schedules and interacts with one another

[nocturne plume]

so I suppose there’s still a chance, but I highly doubt it.

[south halo]

I'd use the shotgun on mutants and the smg on people

[west hill]

damn modders are cooking on nexusmods fast

[frozen sinew]

The shotgun hasn't really done me a lot of good.

[grave venture]

Maybe modders will make a life 2.0 faster than gsc

[weary echo]

Its not a bug, its another anomaly.

[south halo]

Oh weird it might be the ammo but I've been running through fleshes with the shotty

[fierce nexus]

[frozen sinew]

I use buckshot, it takes like 3 or 4 hits to down one flesh hound

[grave venture]

4 hits

[carmine jackal]

just lost my virginity to sidorovich

[fierce nexus]

I finally swapped my beat up Toz 34 for a cracker lol

[west hill]

Such is life in the Zone

[tiny relic]

Let's be honest, if GSC had just released a pack of textures and models, then modders would have made Stalker2 themselves

[static lotus]

Doubt.

[fierce nexus]

таке життя на зоні

[west hill]

cheeki breeki cossacks vodka

[grave venture]

Why would they need the textures and models?

[swift ore]

I love you guys

[soft herald]

Is there a command to force someone to speak to you in stalker 2

[grave venture]

Maybe in the future games will be like Ikea products, u have to put them together yourself

[hot hemlock]

Think they already becoming like that

[timid oyster]

yo anyone found a good way of killing the new chimeras, they feel invincible

[grave venture]

Huh, do I know you man?

[carmine jackal]

200k the we share secrets

[hollow briar]

modding

[finite beacon]

Anybody encountered the new electric anomaly in the lab? This is such a bad design decision should have left them how they were

[tiny relic]

Don`t give them ideas!

[swift ore]

No but i know you

[grave venture]

I can tell you but first I need u to help me with something else

[west hill]

bro has a side quest

[timid oyster]

ye?

[dire heart]

is anyone else having a issue where the arena quest won't progress anymore just keeps saying wait

[grave venture]

Doubt

[hollow briar]

you can work as fast as you want, but...

no semi-functioning A-life after 2-3 years of development?

That's just pathetic.

[heady wind]

The most probable thing is that Alife was not ready for release in the first place, so they released it and now buying themselves time to actually finish by saying it is bugged

[unkempt badge]

Why is steam performance worse than xbox app one?

[quaint pasture]

is there allready a release day for the hotfix update?

[weary hedge]

I hope this is true. A-life is what I was most likely forward to with this. I thought it was a done deal with the "A-life 2.0" being apart of the marketing all the time.

[ionic cobalt]

It's a walking sim without A-life

[tiny relic]

If you look at the studio's history, it's easy to understand why the game has such problems. And I'm not talking about the war.

[dense niche]

I wish gas mask have a filter on the screen

[west hill]

we can be glad we got stalker 2 in the first place

[finite beacon]

They went bankrupt, some of the dev team left to fight the war, one of the leads got killed, they moved their entire team to another country

[spice mica]

Yea especially since this is one of the biggest games i’ve seen on consoles

[grave venture]

That attitude got us this far

[zinc estuary]

Ive played for about 6 hours and seen one bug

[hollow briar]

Problems with lies and deception? Well, yeah, that's nothing new.

But when you're a fan... such marketing tricks by GSC is simply insulting.

GSC clearly knew A-life 2.0 is not gonna make it for Nov 20 release, but chose to remove the feature description just days ago from Steam pages etc.

[civic leaf]

Yo dawg, I heard you like sleeping. So I'll put you to sleep while you sleep so you can sleep while you sleep.
https://streamable.com/trw3k5

[unkempt badge]

Yea this game needs a bit of wait

[dense niche]

Insulting to who? You?

[spice mica]

yea worst bug i’ve seen is bodies clipping through the floor and some texture glitches that tbh weren’t that bad just more weird, sucks for those who are getting terrible bugs tho

[heady wind]

It's good if they actually working on implementing proper alife, but I wouldn't hope it will be close to a working state for few months from now

[cinder depot]

what do i do with the journalist flashdrive?

[tiny relic]

More importantly, the studio has never done anything like this before, it's literally creating a big, ambitious game from the very beginning of the studio's reborn.

[hollow briar]

People pre-ordered / bought the game based on the features they were promised.
Removing A-life 2.0 from the features list at the last minute is 100% unfair.

Nothing else to say here. People can try to justify such bullshit, but it's not logical.

[dense niche]

They didnt tho? Did u read QNA

[finite beacon]

And those people are stupid

[cinder depot]

they didn't remove it?

[fringe slate]

true, really pathetic

[weary hedge]

What do you mean? They create the first game, it had delays and was just as ambitious for the time. Enough so they had to rework the A-life system because their original goal was actually too ambitious.

Stalker 2 not having A-life working on launch is a total joke to the series. It's literally what sold the first game as people had read about it long before the game came out.

[civic leaf]

Lol what second hand source are you quoting? The devs have said that alife isn't working as intended and will be fixed

[zinc estuary]

I honestly have no clue what the deal is. Im not discounting the experience of others. I have everything set to medium so maybe thats it

[sweet lion]

Press X to doubt

[spice mica]

only issue i see is people getting mad about bad bugs when tbh all games will have some bad bugs at release

[fringe slate]

yeah like not working open world which was advertised for like 5 years

[finite beacon]

I’d be impressed if you could name any AAA game within the last 10 years, that delivered on everything they promised within the first 3 days of release. Other than baldurs gate

[tiny relic]

13 years bro, they did nothing for 13 years. Most likely, the studio started working again in 2022.

[topaz plume]

they just spawn AI right next to you and claim its just a life lmao

[hollow briar]

There is no A-life, people...

I've played the game for 10+ hours and there's a simple dumb respawn system with "bubbles" (circle shape areas with specific radius) that the player enters / leaves and spawns kick in...

[cyan garden]

https://streamable.com/i2asog
ALife aside, talking about actual AI - does anyone else experience AI like this? Everyone just stands around like fkn numpties most of the time. It's some of the worst i've seen

[signal bobcat]

For example RDR2 came to my mind. Played that game on release day with basic ps 4. And it was great.

[fringe slate]

why can't I name baldur's gate? so your argument is 'name the game except this one which breaks mine argument'. does it make sense?

[tiny relic]

The modern studio is not the studio that created the first Stalker

[topaz plume]

they're prob stuck between 2 anomalies and cant turn around.

[spice mica]

they’ve literally said alife is having bugs right now and they’re working on it? check the questions channel

[royal urchin]

Game is so hard I already died like 10 times in the prologue lol. Should i lower difficulity to rookie. Its my first time playing stalker game

[zinc dagger]

Not even the questions channel. Check the damn pins

[cunning plover]

Why they removed it from the steam page then?

[hot hemlock]

RDR2 , Baldurgate2, Spacemarine 2

Think maybe Rogue trader 40k?

Dragon ball sparking zero did pretty well too

Ghost of tsuhima

[fringe slate]

RDR2, baldur's, atomic heart, wukong, stellar blade, elden ring. whatever delusional bros just can't handle the truth

[frigid hill]

.porcoco has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[hollow briar]

They're lying, there's nothing in the game that resembles the original A-life system from SOC, CS or COP.

[civic leaf]

That's because it's bugged and not working as intended. The devs themselves said this. Now stop talking out of your ass

[royal urchin]

Why you so angry

[topaz plume]

Y'all need to use your eyes, its actually cringe at this point

[zinc dagger]

Cause I've been having to answer this question all day. And night.

[rotund orchid]

They literally explained it. Outside of the STALKER community, no one knows what the hell is « A-Life ». It’s marketing. They changed the sentence from A-Life to something around advanced AI if I recall correctly. But, I agree it’s completely glitched. I still feel it tho.

[spice mica]

pretty sure it’s and entirely new a life system and @snow trout what you just asked is said in the exact same channel i just said

[fringe slate]

how do you know it's there at all aside for random people saying wE FoUnd It iN PaK fIlES? they are not even programmers and it's not open code

[mild salmon]

because their is more negativity than positivity in this cruel world

[uncut siren]

Is it worth to keep PDAs and notes after they were relevant?

[burnt oriole]

anyone else got this cool fov glitch where it makes ur weapons farther from the camera

I posted pics in the other thing

[static lotus]

Spoiler alert, some people can still be programmers and not work for a company.

[heady wind]

Bro, they're trying to create some form of ALife in a hurry because of the huge backlash from community under disguise of "fixing bugs".

I don't understand how people are so naive and believe everything devs say

[royal urchin]

Sending virtual hugs n kisses!

[rotund orchid]

Because we can see a part of the games files with these pak files? You would be surprised what pak files let us modders do

[grave venture]

Based

[hollow briar]

Look... GSC removed all "A-life 2.0" related texts from the Steam page several days before the release.

Why do you think they did that instead of staying true to their promises?

Hint hint - because they haven't implemented A-life 2.0 at all.

[finite beacon]

Just sell em, once you pick them up you get all info and then they are useless

[fringe slate]

This exactly. After failure of CP2077, I don't get how people are that simpleton so they still believe anything just by honest word

[zinc dagger]

There's an image, in one of the channels literally of a life code.

[spice mica]

maybe it’s because the game just released and they’ve been having issues with a dev team member dying, having to completely relocate out of ukraine or russia can’t remember which, some dev team members leaving to fight the war and plenty more issues. There’s more important things going on then a video game, don’t know why people act like developer have to only work on the game and nothing else

[limpid cove]

I have a question, does the private box have infinite slots? I have a bunch of stuff there and I'm wondering if it's infinite or not.

[finite beacon]

They also went bankrupt for a few years

[grave venture]

It says a life, but if you see the actual code it's just a random encounter generator

[fringe slate]

not my issue

[modest elbow]

It's infinite

[hot hemlock]

Is something called delay

[cunning plover]

It still feels wrong. Because now everything they do, will be okay (on their side), even if there is no A-Life. I feel bad because now there is a chance they will never add the same life there was on the old stalkers... and I basically bought the game for that......

[hollow briar]

Yes, a game programming student can do this "smart spawning" in 1-2 months given some guidance...
It's just pathetic how GSC kept lying about A-life 2.0 in all of the marketing texts and other resources.

[random onyx]

Stalkers, how many arch anomalies are documented? I am going on a pilgrimage

[carmine jackal]

you played yourself

[spice mica]

they e delayed it a lot and last time that happened people started getting angry with the company demanding the release (cyberpunk obviously) and either way this is the least bugged game release i’ve seen

[fringe slate]

^ this. people don't even get what code they are reading xD idiots. I'm in IT for like 10 years and I've not found any hint on real AI system in pak files

[uncut siren]

Du you guys keep unique weapons found in zone like Lynx or SOFMOD?

[rotund orchid]

I’m not 100% taking their side, don’t worry… I’m also sad to see how the game is right now. I still enjoy it a lot, but yeah the problems are not cool… It’s not normal that I need to go into the configuration files of the game and deactivate things, then set everything to low so I don’t crash or get out of VRAM on a 4060

[snow shuttle]

real lol they are probs using this as a bandaid because they still have A Life in the works

[grave venture]

What are u even playing? This is the least bugged release?

[weak sapphire]

Yeah those are numbers for an actual aglorythm to use. We have no clue what the actual code does.

[cunning plover]

For buying something it was listed and promised? You serious bro?

[umbral tangle]

stalker 2? more like half life 3 , in that whole lab section

[topaz plume]

I'm convinced they didnt even test the game before releasing, if they did theres no way they'd let that slide, its so obnoxious

[spice mica]

hey any advice for an it student? plan on going in that’d field after graduation and been taking comptia practice exams before the actual exam

[hot hemlock]

Least? With a whole feature gone? Removed from steam page and game right before?

Thats like saying a game can remove a whole part of their game, if they find it buggy or feel like it

Like baldur's gate removing interacting with companions because they didn't have time to make it, but they marketed it as a feature

[zinc dagger]

That's something I agree with there's no way this game was QA tested before launch

[orchid isle]

Or they're stressed af because of money. They need people to buy before continuing

[fringe slate]

I mean it can be considered as good stuff even. No real expectations, A-life is never coming. Most likely they will just widen the bubble of activities near players and that's it. So I can play now with myself at peace.

[weak sapphire]

Study and be interested. That means learn even during free time.

[umbral tangle]

they literally cannot simulate a whole ass 60 square kilometers of zone my guy , what did you expect

[topaz plume]

1 million copies should suffice..

[snow shuttle]

Depends tbh.

[uncut siren]

is it worth to switch from AKMS for Fora-221?

[junior tiger]

Where do I get my deluxe rewards guys?

[carmine jackal]

no

[cunning plover]

There could be work arounds. There is always a solution. The current one.. isn't one of them.

[zinc dagger]

no. AK is good.

[fringe slate]

I've relocated into IT during my work in SAP (accounting prog), so maybe we're in quite different fields. It uses ABAP, which is mostly of no use outside of SAP. But I can assist, ask if you want:)

[static lotus]

Its in the map marked as "Journalist Stash". (lots of them)

[umbral tangle]

maybe in the radius of the player , but the whole zone? , nah goodluck with that

[topaz plume]

journalist stashes, but they aren't spawning in for me so i didnt get what i paid for, outrageous.

[rotund orchid]

I hope they’ll put a little million into optimization 🫠

||It’s exageration but yeah||

[heady wind]

Offline simulation is very cheap. XRay ALife was hindered by singlethreaded Lua engine

[weak sapphire]

They can with varying degree of detail. Further away you could simulate just arbitarty coin flips for faction fight. Close to player you go into more detail about what characters are where and so on. And if they migrate too far from player just add a list of characters that should be in new region and simulate them once player is closer.

[snow shuttle]

I think a 3 level system would be best performance wise.
Online Squad assets are loaded
Offline not loaded, very basic calculations
Randomized, so far away that it is indistinguishable from just random shit happening.

[zinc dagger]

Did you grab the flash drive from the first stash? Otherwise it didn't pop up for me, might be the same for you

[meager marsh]

hmm mateus just died what can i do lol he walked into the anomaly area and died but standing in the radiation puddles do no damage to npcs like bruh who made this

[fringe slate]

Honestly I don't get, so A-life may not simulate life far above, but if it does close to player, so what's the difference?

[junior tiger]

Ohhh that quest that popped up
Damn I have to find it myself

[topaz plume]

Yeah, I did. From my storage in first town, I only have the pre order stash. Even though I should have all of them.

[cunning plover]

If it is a BIG radius.. yeah. why not? In the worst case yeah, it could be okay. Not certainly 100m.

[spice mica]

just cause a ham is marketed with a feature doesn’t mean they aren’t gonna have issues, why delay a game again because one feature isn’t working? game is still amazing and the combat although a bit bullet spongy at times is still fun and tense especially when you’re low on medkits and bandages. don’t know why everyone has to be so negative like be thankful the game isn’t even more buggy and can still be fun if you stop getting angry at a studio going through a lot of issues with development and the company

[uncut siren]

How about switch from AKMS with Remington to Vintorez with Saiga?\

[static lotus]

There are many around the map.

[boreal sapphire]

Anyone seen any guides that go into more information about weapon stats?

[zinc dagger]

Cyberpunk was marketed with a GTA 5 multiplayer feature but it was never delivered due to engine restrictions.

[weak sapphire]

No clue what you mean

[umbral tangle]

tbh this would be nice , should prob drop that on em

[lean karma]

Anyone know if there addressed the stick drift bug on xbox can't seem to find patch notes or anything

[north jackal]

There is offline and online AI.. they would not always be physically there but simulated as information running in the back

[snow shuttle]

The difference is that it currently feels like it's all random and that there is no logic or permanence to the happenings. In trilogy if you clear an area, it'll take a random squad getting the task to go there. Currently it just spawns squads arbitrarily

[median laurel]

most likely not today. updates dont usually come on weekends so i imagine the earliest is this upcoming monday

[hollow briar]

Even if "a life" is mentioned in the config files..

There's no guarantee that the source code is reading from those config files and is doing anything.

People don't realize this. Mostly non-technical people. But I've been in software industry for 10+ years. It's obvious what's going on here.

[spice mica]

they’re working on it, took my controller apart thinking it was my controller

[weak sapphire]

It would take too long to implement now. Should have been done from start. Project zomboid does this Far away it just simulates zombies migration as a big blob with just numbers on how many should be there, the close they get the more detailed it is. It is a hard thing to make and implement cant take years.

[pine haven]

Can’t play my save anymore it just crashes trying to load, with EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION

[zenith sedge]

lol the dead giveaway for me was the fact theres no longer conversations happening on the PDA between the different groups
Also reloading the save will spawn a different enemy

[uncut siren]

Lack of A-life really gripes me. I don't here shootouts in background, except of story driven places, never found dead bodies, never attacked by random mutants outside of those placed exactly in landmarks

[umbral tangle]

it would also be nice if they had the stalker reporting system like in anomaly where they'd openly say stuff they see happening , also that's pretty cool

[cunning plover]

Wondering if the fault of all this, was the xbox release. Maybe they wanted to release the same product on both, and that stupid box can't handle high end graphic and a life... who knows....

[spice mica]

it’ll happen eventually, they said they’re having issues with the a life system and are working of fixing it

[quaint pasture]

i need it as soon as possible so i can turn off framegen and finally be able to aim for shit

[fringe slate]

Yeah A-life most likely doesn't even exist

[umbral tangle]

it's joever stalker bros , hopefully they do someday tho

[lean karma]

I wasn't far behind you was making me rage 🤣

[weak sapphire]

Hey maybe they did something similar and it's just bugged 😄 Just have to wait for their fix.

[hot hemlock]

If it's a main feature, not a side feature- Yes delay or tell whats going on
Like the life is a main feature

[dense bloom]

Isn't that game amazing 😍

[hollow chasm]

Imagine Both A-life and Better performance taken away from you 🫠

[weary hedge]

This simply isn't a Stalker game without A-life. Currently, the game doesn't even try to really fake the distant encounters either, it's just empty. Imo, this tells me that the AI system was ripped out last minute or something.

[fringe slate]

Dude A-life absence is actually good. If I knew it's bugged I couldn't play the game the way it is. But as I know it will take them years most likely to implement A-life, I will play the game as it is and forget

[zenith sedge]

yea but now it just feels like farcry

[zinc dagger]

Imagining this game was gonna perform well on launch is a fever dream for anyone who's played a stalker game they hardly run well post launch. The a life stuff we'll just have to see with the updates

[sharp lintel]

I have faith in the devs. If not, mods will eventually fix it

[spice mica]

they did? @lean karma pretty sure i unintentionally made the stick drift worse after carefully cleaning the thumb sticks. @cunning plover don’t know why it would be the xbox release since i’m playing on it and havnt had issues

[uncut siren]

i hope they'll eventually add it. I think I'll stop playing after I finish it, and get back after a month or two

[umbral tangle]

that's why i was saying they should implement the open airway texting systems from anomaly where you'd get a pda notifaction on what's going on in the zone , that made the game feel so much more alive. especially when you'd see freedom and duty mfs arguing with each other over the airways

[novel axle]

Hot take: as much as I miss A-life it doesn't honestly detract much from the experience for me personally with it being buggy atm. I just treat it like its stalker fallout style for now and have fun with it like that, granted it'll be more fun when its fixed, but its absense doesn't really bother me personally that much.

[weak sapphire]

But devs said it is in the game. Just bugged look at Mol1ts pinnd post.

[hollow briar]

It does exist on https://archive.org

[fringe slate]

It never existed most likely, at least since they relocated to UE5

[cunning plover]

This is how it started for Bethesda... and looks how it ended with Starfield....

[meager marsh]

Having some problems with doing the all that is left sidequest, the entire group of people from the factory down the road came down with me killing some boars and banditos kept spawning in while I was grabbing the 2 artifcats here. The LT either dies now or won't talk to me lol

[dense bloom]

Are we SURE A life is not there tho ? It seeps here but a bit broken?

[worn abyss]

new here, loving game so far. really hope they fix stick drift issue

[sharp lintel]

Yeah, but GSC is passionate about their games

[boreal wasp]

The stalker world and lore are far more valuable

[novel axle]

Oh its there, modders and the devs have confirmed it, its just bugged to hell right now and is barely functioning as it should be.

[weak sapphire]

It's not the same dev team

[weary hedge]

Maybe, but with the bugs being in the game with the AI spawns makes me believe they had to do a kneejerk and strip the system last minute but who knows.

[zenith sedge]

theres like 4 prominant systems in game that wouldnt work with a real A life system anyway
There are no PDA conversations, you can no longer see any squads on the map, and reloading a save will randomly generate a different squad or enemy type

[carmine jackal]

in need of a smoking barrel

[lean karma]

Bro no way that's gold 😂

[paper dome]

in fact what litte of it works actually makes the game worse

[ionic ice]

will the annoying enemy spawning radius be removed with alife?

[fringe slate]

As well as they said it's in the game and works b4 launch. I don't believe these liars.

[sharp lintel]

After watching the documentary, I have faith

[hollow briar]

True, people don't understand it's a new generation of developers making STALKER 2 now...

[dense bloom]

I just hope molders will fix it cuz des always take too much time, but fixing a life might takes weeks ? Or months??

[spice mica]

how about those who are being negative just stop and give them a few days to weeks to fix the current bugs, notice how those with it knowledge are calm and patient because they seem to know coding and fixing bugs takes time as you have to go through the code to see the issue and may look it over cause it looks likes it’s working fine

[astral jasper]

alife 3 wen

[weak sapphire]

Try years. We need full mod support first.

[zenith sedge]

a year if ever lol, I dont think the framework of the game is designed to work with real time squads
Its sort of designed around loading things in and out of your radius of influence

[meager marsh]

he is just saying not right now for my issue. I've pasted the photos in the screenshot and video

[novel axle]

this I agree on, I cleared a miliary base out, only for them to respawn right in front of my eyes soon as the morning hit, usually these npcs would walk to the base from another part of the zone to take up posts there as reinforcements and would take a few game days for them to arrive, I know thi sbecause I have literally watched these military npcs zone into the area then walk to the base to take up positions.

[fringe slate]

Years at this point. They ain't going to fix it in 2024, maybe end 2025 or 2026

[tawdry umbra]

After leaving the lesser zone, I almost immediately found mercs
I was so hapy

[dense bloom]

https://tenor.com/view/triste-sniff-sad-kid-baby-gif-16695724

[waxen crow]

Man this game is so damn fun when you don’t got people talking in your ear telling you it’s crap

[ionic ice]

This is so real, people are freaking out about alife 2 but devs have literally said it’s js bugged

[weak sapphire]

And if it is not like the old A-Life then its not happening modders would have to rewrite the whole game

[zenith sedge]

lol I just had 10 guys all spawn on the same 'spot' and glitched into each other just as an emmission started, I just shot em all in the head only to come back to another 10 guys glitched into a pile of 10 bodies

[hollow briar]

I spoke with a friend who does UE5 game dev.

Xbox is powerful and you can easily offload calculations on the hardware for offline and in-player-view A-life units simulation.

[fringe slate]

This too. Game is just too software-heavy to work with irl time events on huge open world map. It will eat all hardware in a minute

[novel axle]

Well A-life controls most non-scripted spawns so that would be why that happens atm its because its broken right now.

[spice mica]

why can’t some of y’all stop being so negative? it’s like people keep getting more entitled because games are always advancing in mechanics, i don’t remember people being this entitled and angry a decade ago about the game being buggy, i remember my friends messing with the game trying to break it just to have fun

[astral jasper]

what'd u do ? and how do i get your role

[tawdry umbra]

We can though, we can easily handle it

[hollow chasm]

Some of us may be fine if they fix The performance draining issues . Idk its not like the first game that requires time to be perfect. Tbh any games that might be broken i always have faith that they go No man’s sky or cyberpunk levels

[ionic ice]

Will that be removed with the release of A-Life? Its so annoying

[hollow briar]

It's just a skill issue.

[zenith sedge]

if you leave the area they stop spawning though, which is what I miss with the old stalker games
They would spawn on the other side of the area regardless of if you were close or not

[weak sapphire]

The only weird part is if A-Life controls spawns then nothing should spawn right now because there would be no need for random spawner.

[royal urchin]

Skill issue

[dense bloom]

Yeah so basically imo no point to wait... why they didnt put the old A life, probably lack of time.. but cant they just use the script/code they already had??

[fringe slate]

I honestly also don't get what people are talking about, I've seen enemies running at me from like 100 meters. I've seen stalkers dying in anomalies before me, stalkers fighitng military and helping me with wildlife. How it's that worse than A-life of SoC?

[tender ferry]

Does anyone have a speed bug that allows them to suddenly run really fast?

[thick smelt]

not a fan of clearing out a base to only be immediately attacked from a dead end that was just clear. Or checking for snipers in the towers seeing its clear, to then approach and get shot from somebody who just spawned in the tower..

[spice mica]

nope because the og alife was built for a different engine

[hybrid zodiac]

maybe patch today?

[ionic ice]

It’s a different engine. You can’t do that

[zinc dagger]

cyberpunk was a crazy glow up, I'm unsure how cdpr was even able to make that game work after the travesty of its launch

Also no patch today.

[novel axle]

a decade ago games would not launch in this sorry of a state usually. so they kinda have a right to be annoyed, some do go too far though. @weak sapphire they had to have some sort of spawn system in or else once you cleared an area there would never be another thing that spawns there.

[lone wyvern]

ı found big bread in the game and wear it

[chilly grail]

While I fully agree that the A life situation is not good right now, I do think people have become too accustomed to how it works in mods and forgets how watered down it was in the vanilla games

[zenith sedge]

its a totally different engine running on a totally different map that's persistent and not 10 segments of 'zones' that you move through

This game is using UE5s level streaming which cant have AIs running far away from the player anyway
They have to be on the same navmesh as the player

[fringe slate]

Maybe it doesnt make random encounters out of your reach, but why would you care? It does make plenty in my radius

[weak sapphire]

It would spawn once A life decided someone roamd there. Its not A LIFE if there is also a random spawner 😄 If i cleared the area it should be empty untill someone decided to live there again

[nocturne plume]

Where’s that pinned comment about stick drift fix?

[novel axle]

yes, but as its currently bugged, it just spawns them there instantly instead of having them roam/walk there from the edge of that area like they used to

[tawdry umbra]

They were at a factory or something, I had to kill everyone there except them they did not care if I shot the place up
And sorry forgot how I got the Merc roll

[lone wyvern]

very powerful armor

[grave venture]

A-life 2.0? More like A-lie 2.0

[smoky onyx]

no a-life, cod skins on guns, dei,terrible shooting, bethesda quests, modern stalker is great

[weak sapphire]

Maybe

[weary echo]

"which cant have AIs running far away from the player"

So you're telling me that a nearly two decades years old engine was more powerful in that sense than UE5?

[hollow chasm]

Guys i love Gravity Anomalies . Their sneak 100 moves is far beyond from my imagination

[zinc dagger]

It's only half a-life.. unfortunately, we'll never get a third

[jaunty dragon]

Where is the dei? Haven seen any yet

[zenith sedge]

no, but you'd usually not use level streaming if you wanted an A life type system
You can do it a different way in UE5, but this game isnt

[spice mica]

the thing is sure they can be mad and all but even the smallest bug makes people angry, even though a life isn’t small people are mad because it’s not working and the devs are working on it and people are acting like they should just fix it instantly without taking any time on actually fixing it, first day releases will always be decently buggy because the devs rely on us the consumer to say “hey this thing is bugged”

[tawdry umbra]

Half-life ³ confirmed

[coral harbor]

I'm really disappointed there's no gas mask overlay, breathing noises, immersion = 0... Metro, or gamma, they had it. Cmon devs cmon

[novel axle]

WHich with a-life often those wandering npcs would not make it to their destination due to getting into encounters with mutants or other stalkers/factions. In one anomaly game I had it where the military would attack rookie village every 4th day like clockwork, unless I made sure they never make it to the base in the first place, then it'd get staved off for over a week.

[hollow chasm]

Doctor Freeman i presume?

Me : HEAVY WEAPONS GUY

[ionic ice]

Mods will probably add that

[wise valve]

why i only got 3 tasks on Seek and you shall find mission, and my friend has way more?

[royal urchin]

Games cost a lot of money. Releasing a broken game is unacceptable. Please have some higher standards

[carmine jackal]

agree

[smoky onyx]

ye lets rely on moders to make it a good game

[weary echo]

One smaller thing that is bugging me atm is that the holographic sight for the m4 is a stuttering mess.

[ionic ice]

Gas mask overlay doesnt make it a good game, what? Im talking about little things like that, not fixing the game

[weak sapphire]

Why? You can create e seperate system into the engine that tracks AI movements and once they are close enough send that info to navmesh and spawn them in????

[zenith sedge]

yea I think thats how anomaly handled it between OG stalkers different levels
They just built a dataset 'estimating' what would happen on a bunch of variables about who was last in that area before the player left

[novel axle]

I mean GSC had a choice, release it now, or delay it for a month maybe more, and let down players again so close to release, they decided to just push thru and do it, and people ARE having fun even with the bugs, old stalker fans knew the game was going to be jank and buggy as hell, so the real series fans knew what to expect. Only thing that really bothers me is the mutants, and lack of any crafting systems for stuff like repair kits or medical stuff/food/drinks

[coral harbor]

It's ridiculous honestly. And all these youtubers who got early access calling the game amazing. They're all sellouts. Drew, big fry, etc... No ones honest anymore.

It takes 30 minutes to tell this game was more rushed then op barbarossa

[spice mica]

then how are they gonna fix bugs? i mean if they don’t release the game at a playable state how are they gonna know the extent of bugs? have lower standards, games are gonna have bugs that people won’t always encounter and again that’s part of the reason devs release games with bugs because they aren’t omnipotent

[hollow chasm]

Half A life 2 : heavy life

[smoky onyx]

it has no a-life its already not stalker

[sleek crater]

Feature in game is broken.

People: Complains about feature being broken

Devs say they are going to fix it asap.

People: Complains that feature doesn't exist and it's all a lie.

[weak sapphire]

Like just have a 2d basic map that would simulate the movements and so on

[ionic ice]

Dude i swear they gotta rebalance mutants. They’re so tanky

[grave venture]

I'll believe it when I see it

[dense bloom]

Whats Dei, about the shooting I totally disagree.
For the side quest, I don't think stalker was know for amazing side quests.. the quest I did yesterday was good with at least 7 endings, I even found à 8th ending that you dont see in Guides for now..

[spice mica]

ngl i haven’t played the older games and i’m having a blast and sure the bugs are annoying but who cares, why complain like your life depends on it when the game is still fun to play

[topaz plume]

There's a mod for it that makes fleshes, bloodsuckers and poltergeists less tanky.

[novel axle]

The game really needs a craftign system so the player can make repair kits, if they are going to insist on keeping repair costs so ludacrisly high. Also loot does not respawn, so your only source for alot of items is eventually going to be merchants only.

[zenith sedge]

im not sure what you mean sorry
The navmesh is already a 2d plane

[sleek crater]

Repair costs aren't too bad

[weary echo]

Exact idea i just had.

Have a 2d kind of map, let the dots roam around on there, when they meet, simulate a fight, play some distant shooting and spawn dead bodies in once the player gets closer.

Lets see what GSC will do with AL2.

[ionic ice]

Dude will you guys shut up about A-Life. It was bugged on release and devs have literally stated it’s actively being worked on

[carmine jackal]

just needs repair kits

[zinc dagger]

doomers will doom and gloom
Just wait for the updates patiently

[novel axle]

There is several actually, but modders have pretty much figured out the culprit for mutants. They have basically DT from fallout NV, if your gun is equal or below the DT you do chip damage.

[solid hedge]

Tbh, my game isn’t buggy at all really, it has been but only a few minor bugs.

[pine haven]

B-life?

[umbral tangle]

btw guys if your starting detector is telling you that an artifact is nearby and you can't find it then you need a better detector

[ionic ice]

Thats what im saying bro, people have got to chill tf out and wait for updates

[zenith sedge]

thats how AI already works in virtually all 3d games, some just fake 3d volumes by taking into account the actor/objects height

[sleek crater]

My was fine until I found solder

[royal fjord]

Anyone else get infinite enemies spawning at sphere? Just did the mission there and on leaving I easily killed 150+ and they just kept coming

[solid hedge]

Only issue I’ve had was I couldn’t hand the pdas to vargan, so I killed him.

[zinc dagger]

its definitely buggy but it seems like bugs are... Kinda unique for some games I just say that honestly, each copy of stalker 2 is personalized.

With bugs.

[smoky onyx]

there is no other game that does ai like we had on stalker

[novel axle]

starting gun/ak has a penetration of 1, even a flesh has a DT of 1, which is why it takes so many shots. Bloodsuckers have a DT of 3, which means you need high powered sniper rifles to even do full damage to it. SHotguns are useless as they have a penetration value of 1. even slugs only up it by 30% to 1.3 so they don't really do more than buckshot.

[wise valve]

why i only got 3 tasks on Seek and you shall find mission, and my friend has way more?

[dense bloom]

But them saying they working on it make no sense tbh, if it takes months, a year, the vast majority would have finished the game, multiple times by then.

[weak sapphire]

What games? Not many do seperate simulations for persistent characters and evolving world in the background.

[zenith sedge]

kenshi was pretty much identical but yea theres not that many
Maybe mount and blade could also be considered

[solid hedge]

This is one of the best games I’ve played in a good few years, I can only imagine new updates and multi will make this game amazing.

[zinc dagger]

I am permanantly being followed around by a ravenous pack of rats that has picked up my tail, if I stop, the rats will catch me, and kill me very likely. I haven't complained about it because it's kept me running, for some reason its rather fun.

[smoky onyx]

u got me there kenshi is pretty good comparison but simpler

[paper dome]

this is the big thing this is a SP game its not a online game people will play for thousands of hours over months and will be there when the fixes come. most people will play for 40ish hours and dip

[spice mica]

looked like it lmao

[novel axle]

giant/chimera has 4 or 5 DT, so most guns in the game are not going to do a damn thing to them. The problem was they gave mutants the DT system that used to only be for humans in armor. they also gave them about 2x the health or more compared to the older games.

[zenith sedge]

yea it also runs like total dogshit rofl but I loved that game 😂

[ionic ice]

It’s bugged. Just wait, dude

[weak sapphire]

Yeah I can agree with Kenshi and PZ zombies but you said most game and that is just not true. "thats how AI already works in virtually all 3d games"

[weary echo]

I've had like, maybe four gamebreaking bugs yet, three of them being crashes, one just taking over my mouse movement, no clue. Otherwise it were just smaller visual bugs or dying when jumping off a .5cm edge.

[zinc dagger]

The problem with PZ zombies is migration is wacky. It's one of my favorite games but it's also incredibly buggy and laggy during movements, but a lot of the time zombies end up migrating to... The middle of nowhere.

[smoky onyx]

it doesnt exist , ur getting brainwashed like on covid era

[zenith sedge]

im not saying most games have world wide persistent AI, you said why dont they simulate the AI like they're on a 2d map, but thats what AI mostly is
Its a 2d grid called a navmesh that controls actors (or objects in unity) through state machines and behaviour trees

[dense bloom]

U actually play online games longer than offlines... me personally I do only one run on offline games, big one run, when it'll be fixed my
Game will be Uninstalled already.

[ionic ice]

do not get the doomers get to me

[novel axle]

the fall damage is nuts, you fall like 2 feet you just die on veteran. those small banks on the sides of hills? yeah if you try to go off the edge ont hose on veteran you die, even though its a 1 foot drop.

[stuck marlin]

I said this yesterday and I'll say it again. for those of you that don't believe the devs that a-life exists and is just bugged: why are you in the official discord. If you don't believe the news you get from the team, and don't value it, there's likely fan discords that would be fine. Are y'all just farming anger points or something

[spice mica]

a piece of advice for those complaining constantly about a bug without giving the devs a few days to fix it , go download the tools to make your own game and see just how difficult it can be

[weak sapphire]

Its including my past comment to you. Write a seperate system where they are on a bigger 2d map and send the info to navmesh once they are close. Since you said they cant be that far because of navmesh

[paper dome]

did you not read what i said lol?

[wintry torrent]

Bro same, I had rats chase me from The Sphere all the way to the sign warehouse

Also - I don’t know if it’s only for the Arena quest line or if getting to it unlocks it( but can confirm sleep mechanic is in the game

[swift ore]

i just run away, not every mutant you have to kill, they dont give exp or loot

[zenith sedge]

oh I getcha yea, run a simulation to simplify it outside of a certain radius to the player?

[zinc dagger]

USE ANOMALIES Jesus people whirligigss and gravity anomalies are the best weapons in the game

[royal fjord]

Has anyone else noticed that every random NPC you trade with always has exactly 700 tokens and then a couple of bullets and either a random health item or food

[weary echo]

Same on stalker difficulty. Probably just misplaced death barriers on some of the edges, easy fixes. Otherwise, rescaling fall damage would be great.

[dense bloom]

I did, and If u implied that since it's a offline games people will play thousand of hours, this is statistically not sure, people play more online than offline games

[novel axle]

The problem is when you can't run away and then it takes all your ammo to kill 1 blood sucker so u can progress. Like that one cave quest, where there is a blood sucker guarding what you need to obtain, and your gonna need to deal with it to get to it.

[zenith sedge]

the best weapon in the game is standing on anything thats taller than 3 feet

[solid hedge]

only bug I get will be where I’ll spawn back in and they can shoot me before I can even get a gun or reload lol

[paper dome]

brother read what i said again you goober thats what i said.

[weak sapphire]

Yeah and the further away it is the simpler you make it. At first actual AI characters are tracked then group and then just factions. And just use simple data and add detail only when near player( Keep track of some of the stuff ofc). Maybe have a databse with items the AI owns that the game can access once in range of the player.

[swift ore]

i just ran through the acid and it wont follow you

[paper dome]

i said its an offline game people wont be around for the fixes 🤣

[novel axle]

I wanna play this game on vet as I love how lethal it makes the gun enemies but mutants are just total obscene BS on it. its not their damage they deal its how hard they are to kill where the problem is on a difficulty that already massivly nerfs loot

[dire heart]

how long is a hour in game

[grave venture]

60min

[topaz plume]

What?

[zenith sedge]

yea would definately be a lot more interesting than spawning shit in from a 'spawn chart'
I used to love that warzone mode for anomaly lol

How you could help factions upgrade their bases and the spawn timer would get faster

[weak sapphire]

And the fact that there is no inscentive to kill them. They are juat a waste of resources, its better to run.

[mild salmon]

Guys would it hurt to port Strelok to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater or Guitar Hero World Tour?

[serene mural]

[junior current]

congrats on a million copies sold

[boreal wasp]

It's the few common denominator players that have fallen through the cracks and love to cry and moan even after word has been given

[smoky onyx]

get a mod for the mutants

[carmine jackal]

GSC should really forget about multiplayer for this game. It needs to be in a much better state.

[novel axle]

2.5 minutes, as its 60 min real time per day. @weak sapphire exactly, in anomaly i used to literally hunt mutants for meat and skin to sell as a rookie in the zone as it made sense to do so.

[grave venture]

Imagine the mess

[weary echo]

Nexus mods already has some mods adjusting the time of the day, the mutant health and even the weight of some things. Already put in a mod that makes the day 4 times longer.

[raw dock]

I made a crash with a mission, huzzah!

[zenith sedge]

yea on stalker dificulty im finding im just having to do the main quest to keep up with the economy as thats where 99% of my money comes from

You get like 1000 rubbles for a side quest then the main quest drops you 20k of random items

[weary hedge]

yo guys what setting made the characters far away less pixel-like

like rn when a character is far away its just pixels how do i change that???

[dire heart]

I've been waited on this arena quest to progress for ages and it doesn't do anything

[weak sapphire]

Time of day mod breaks multiple things in the game.

[serene mural]

[sharp kettle]

You know if MO2 works or do I have to use nexus vortex?

[junior current]

a life def exists if u pay close attention and have a maxxed pc u can see it exists, but yes there are some interesting 'bugs' which look more like additions to the system i.e. dynamic zone protections of certaaain pois.

[muted dune]

whoa u still here aint ya

[smoky onyx]

even more? lol

[carmine jackal]

I dont want to play against other people while using frame gen

[novel axle]

honestly something like that should be a ingame option you can set on the start of a new game. @zenith sedge intersting, I was expecting MSQ to pay higher but not THAT much higher.

[grave venture]

And?

[paper dome]

nah brother only thing that shit does is spawn nps 35 yards behind you

[weary echo]

I just put the pak's into the pak folder itself, no clue. There's a vortex add-on for stalker, thats what i know.

[weak sapphire]

Smaller map no AI means less lag and better performance

[buoyant basin]

200 fps all maxed out, nice

[hearty summit]

Yo, is there any way to improve fps and look of the game while still upscaling / do I have to use upscaling to get 60+ fps constant? Also how do I fix the 1% lows

[smoky onyx]

dude if u get on a high place u can see the world is empty

[junior current]

spare me. im not here to argue with you. i personally dont care what you believe. like i said there are certain additions to the a-life system that have what i would call dynbamic zone protections for certain pois.

[spice mica]

if they loaded everything on the map you’d have some terrible lag dude

[jovial rain]

I gotta wait till
Saturday to PLAY

[weary echo]

Nothing i noticed so far atleast. No clue, i'm not that far into the game, ||just met with scarf.||

[zenith sedge]

buy new GPU usually

[hearty summit]

I have a 3080 homie r7 7800x3d

[ionic ice]

Yeah i know but when its a bloodsucker or a poltergeist in an enclosed area it’s just annoying

[paper dome]

aka its all broken and it only does 1 thing that being spawn nps just after you clear anything out

[novel axle]

crafting repair kits would be great as it'd create a new money source, player gets red conditon weapon, repairs it to yellow via repair kits they crafted then can sell for money, long as you can get the materials to make them anyway. used to do it in Gamma, used to fix up guns to make a nice chunk of money later on.

[junior current]

'rendering' is only the user interface of a system like a-life, hell of game systems in general. good grief im talking to filthy casual know it alls.

[zenith sedge]

yea its brutal, im getting 45fps lows on a 4090/13900k in the later game cities lol im on 1080p most the games running decent but

[hearty summit]

Oh I see. I’m on 1440 ultrawide, should I just say fck it and switch to my 27” 1080p just for the performance boost?

[weary hedge]

where can I find the "HELLO, HELLO" guy I miss him 😦

[spice mica]

yea hopefully after the bugs get patched they work on adding new features like that, i just wanna be a pack mule always over encumbered lmao

[civic leaf]

There are a couple mods for that already. One that reduces the dmg nerf from playing on veteran from 75% up to 90%. And if you really think you need it, there is a mod that makes bloodsuckers and poltergeist less tanks. I didnt feel the need for it

[novel axle]

Thats my point, if you run into a blood sucker or poltergeist deep in a building your probavblly screwed as youe going to HAVE to deal with it, as even running away it'll just leash back to its spawn point eventually. Mutants outdoors can be mostly avoided, its one in confined spaces that you gotta deal with. @civic leaf that dmg diff on vet doesn't explain why they are so tanky aas they are just as tanky just about on rookie.

[grave venture]

That's fnaf

[warped pond]

FPS is indeed rough, I’m on 1440p with a 4090 and I’m getting 70 fps but sometimes it just tanks to 10 and doesn’t recover until I restart

[carmine jackal]

anyone got an eta on the night vision and binoculars dlc?

[sweet lion]

This games balance is so weird like I'm walking about with thousands of rounds and like 60 health kits. Is this to balance against the enemies that take hundreds of rounds to kill? 🤣 I'm playing on veteran btw

[zenith sedge]

A life is a behavioral tree thing, its not rendering anything

[meager marsh]

alright if anyone has any ai story issues leave the area around 150-200m and come back ai will reset

[weary echo]

Theres a crow sitting underwater.

Radiation really did its things.

[ionic ice]

Yeah, i think they should at least add mutant drops to help with the excruciatingly high prices for everything

[wintry torrent]

What if the real “HELLO, HELLO” were the friends we made along the way? /j

I’m really curious to see if he’s still squirreled away in that same mobile lab when I make it over that way

[smoky onyx]

then they should have made the map fragmented like before, because without a-life the zone is dead and stalker is just another far cry generic shooter

[weary hedge]

no, absoloutely not, ever played SOC? it's a scientist I just forget where

[junior current]

no shit genius, although its more than just 'behaviors'

[spice mica]

then it wouldn’t be a true open world

[jolly geyser]

i love the random stalkers, my ass just got saved by them while bloodsucker was chasing me because i had no ammo left lol , then bam Cheeki Breeki squad arrived n wiped it

[civic leaf]

There is also a mod that lengthens the in-game day/night cycle. By default it's 60 mins. I feel 1.5x that is good. https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/44

[zenith sedge]

i take it not a game dev

[paper dome]

people said that kills the game

[wintry torrent]

Bro I still remember thinking it was the zombies saying that my first time there

[meager marsh]

game has loads of improvements needed most important is alife + optimization

[sweet lion]

I'd rather have pseudo open world than true open world if it meant I'd actually see wandering NPCs and mutants and not just spawning in under my nose.

[smoky onyx]

i dont fkin care about open world or not it didnt break my imersion to load for 10 seconds into another map

[frigid hill]

killahsin has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[real thorn]

Anyone else have a bug where snipers kept popping up in their inventory going through yaniv?

[warped pond]

Yeah I’m liking the game but the lack of a-life kills the immersion a little for me, I’m not at home over the weekend, so hopefully they’ve pushed a patch by the time I get home Monday

[civic leaf]

I don't see how. Was working just fine all last night as I played

[spice mica]

yea and that’s you not everyone, don’t cry about not seeing someone miles away

[naive hatch]

Why the hell are human enemies taking entire magazines of rifle caliber center of mass and not even getting injured/reacting much? Is that the way they think "armor" works? I thought this game was supposed to feel "tactical"

[weary hedge]

I've found an infinite money glitch and a resale glitch to sell stuff at full price

[zenith sedge]

the distance cap is like 100 meters lol
You can run them back out of spawning

[novel axle]

I feel 2 hours would be good for day legnth in stalker 2. gives you enough daylight to do some things, then you can just sleep at nighbt to pass the time. Might also effect emissions as if they are on like a 1-3 day random timer and your day lenth is set to 2 hours yeah..

[jolly geyser]

do not use the F word in any aspect , did get warn for it earlier

[tawdry umbra]

Welcome to stalker

[junior current]

guys find blueprints and immediately know everything. also banning the f word is so silly.

[grave venture]

F-Word

[smoky onyx]

the game isnt stalker stalker anymore, ur playing far cry in chernobyl setting atm

[ionic ice]

Where do you guys find money? Fixing weapons is way too expensive

[violet ember]

How hot are your CPUs running

[inland surge]

a life is being fixxed, not really in the game yet

[weak sapphire]

Which F word?

[paper dome]

worse part is when they despawn when you walk back to where the npc was its gone lol

[civic leaf]

Old news

[naive hatch]

Lol! Thx.

[zenith sedge]

you pretty much need to do the main story
@violet ember lol 85-90c ive never had a game cook it this hard

[weary hedge]

but I found it myself 😦

[fast kindle]

Can I find or methods to improve the difficulty of the game? Because I have the impression that even in veteran mode the game is simple and too much loot

[charred nova]

Wanna show a vid of it

[novel axle]

If yoru aiming for bodyshots without AP or high penetration guns your doing it wrong, aim for the head. this is why the mutants are such a problem because they added this damage threshold system to the mutants where in previous games they never had them.

[thick bramble]

i give up hunting for a pixel sized object when this nonsense unavoidable damage orb is draining my entire medkit supply. wheres the stupid key in the underground lab

[jolly geyser]

floccinaucinihilipilification

[meager marsh]

doubtful they released the game like this + even with the day 1 patch lol i'm no doomer but it's looking hopeless for a quick fix

[ionic ice]

Alright. Including multiple messages in 1 message is wild lol

[weak sapphire]

65c

[real thorn]

Fun?

[violet ember]

I got a restart earlier with a message saying CPU overheated. I've put a topside fan (was too lazy earlier) and now Im getting 75-80.

[keen mango]

the game looks great but im still on edge on buying so early, is it worth waiting to get a better experience with a life and general optimization?

[civic leaf]

Fook?

[swift ore]

extremely, the 1 v 1 fights are brutal

[lone wyvern]

ı found bread armor and wear it

[wintry torrent]

I made a good bit of money off of an Emission in Cordon - Guy got caught in the Emission and has two SPECIAL Ak-74u’s on him so I sold one and kept one

[smoky onyx]

there is no quick fix, a life simply doesnt exist

[cinder heart]

How good is the shah’s gun?

[sweet lion]

Sounds like you are thermal throttling you need to get a better cooler

[weary hedge]

to fix yea, but to recreate, you'd be a horrible stalker yk? also DAMN this game can't handle ALT+TAB I think it just crashed 😦

[zenith sedge]

I dont think we're getting what A life ment in OG stalker, I think they're just tweaking the spawn rates
The game is still better than the farcrys imo, but im not feeling the stalker vibe

[charred nova]

Now that’s what I call fast food

[weak sapphire]

What CPU do you have if its a 14th gen intel you gotta undervolt it.

[violet ember]

Yea my broke ass is running stock for now.

[warped pond]

If this is the case, I’ll form an opinion after some patches, and if still feels the same I’ll just uninstall and move on.

[meager marsh]

wouldn't say that I've seen the ai try to do things much better then ubisoft slop but if call of duty can churn out the same garb every year idk 🤷‍♂️ It's hard for me to excuse s2's current state

[charred nova]

Gonna send to the people who need to see it to hopefully get it fixed in the coming patch

[lone wyvern]

#📸┃screenshots_and_videos message ı wish ı could eat it

[real thorn]

Are the arena fights capped at certain point till I continue playing the main story? Or is it just bugged?

[proud arch]

guys how do u get rid of crosshair??

[wintry torrent]

“Bread”

[sweet lion]

Yeah I found it too is it a bug or something? Because it has a bugged out name

[paper dome]

just do what im doing i just stopped and going to wait a few days and hope alife is back to some extent

[keen mango]

that's a shame. Very well it's still not a deal breaker, but damned if it wouldn't have been great

[novel axle]

got a pic of it i'd love to see this as I love little glitches like that in a game, especially if it makes me laugh.

[warped pond]

UI settings

[weary hedge]

Do you actually want a vid? i'll take one and help get it fixed if you are being fr, I pray on the success of this game 🙏

[zenith sedge]

they wont be recreating an entirely new AI system in a few days lol

[cinder heart]

Al the farcrys after 4 were trash with the exception of 5 which was mid, but far cry 4 and before were good

[jolly geyser]

OP, they have to eat through the first layer of armor to reach your flesh

[charred nova]

I really do want a vid

[lone wyvern]

exactly

[meager marsh]

i just had a whole gang of the ward people come down from their place about 10 of them follow me, fight off those cow creatures, help me out with the jumping freaks and then 10 or so banditos spawned in the gassy area where the soul artifact is so ai is in the game just not alife properly i absolutely hate the dynamic spawns especially how it's not persistent after dying the said killers dissapear

[smoky onyx]

u wanna know whats gnna happen? they gnna increase the distance of spawns like 10m and call it a-life. and then performance will be even worse

[lethal nova]

Bro calm down

[weak sapphire]

They should call it a-day. badum tssss

[paper dome]

thats my stalker

[spice mica]

cry about it why don’t ya, like 7 people have explained why alife isnt working and y’all keep ignoring the facts

[jolly geyser]

I just started following random geared squads and trigger every mutant/bandit aggro i can on them then loot their ass

[zenith sedge]

'its a bug that makes it not work' doesnt really help the fact that half the game is designed on a system that is inherently not Alife

[meager marsh]

my dawg not everybody sits in discord reading comments like your jobless ahh people just come here in their own free time to quickly ask bro is such a hating bozo

[civic leaf]

The game seems to have a memory leak issue. Your framerate will drop after a certain playtime. Alt tabbing repeatedly I think causes a bit of this issue too.

[knotty dune]

How do you attach scopes?????

[novel axle]

I'm going to do some testing in a min on that first blood stalker gonna see the diff between difficlties to see how hard it hits, as i've seen people that must be on rookie because the leap attack barely does 15% of their health.

[weak sapphire]

Getting new and different enemies on reload is kinda sus tho... having a scripted fight spawn that has different enemies on reload is kinda sus tho.

[weary hedge]

Alright gimme a min

[keen mango]

ive just been told it doesn't exists and now people are saying it exists, what in the world

[paper dome]

brother its not read the pins game dev legit said its bugged

[bright prism]

Press T

[lethal nova]

Hold “T” or attach in inventory

[inner quail]

Are the monolithics good or bad? Brand new to Stalker btw

[cinder heart]

Tbh so far stalker 2 feels like a reskinned metro exodus. Metro exodus is a good game but it ain’t stalker

[wise marlin]

Has anyone had their save files deleted or not be picked up by the game ? Happens after a PC or game crash.

[jolly geyser]

they are good if they are dead

[grave venture]

Good

[fast kindle]

Can I find or methods to improve the difficulty of the game? Because I have the impression that even in veteran mode the game is simple and too much loot

[half locust]

SOMEONE please help me

[dense bloom]

It exist.. in a broken way, but it don't exist like it use to be, so maybe it don't exist really.
Hope this can help you out !

[violet ember]

you running stock too?

[zenith sedge]

oh yea actual, I was comparing it to fallout before but with the map being so locked to the main story in this one it feels way more like metro

[knotty dune]

Doesnt work, the scope isnt there. I have a scope for the viper 5 and its equipped i just cant put the scope on

[meager marsh]

cultists idk man seem kinda bad to me

[charred nova]

Worst take I’ve seen today

[strange otter]

What is this A-life bug problem?😡 I raided a ward base and suddenly 2 bloodsuck and 5 naked bandits spawned and gangbanged my ass, this is so bs 😩😩💦💦

[wide spade]

What mods to get to fix difficulty? I'm playing on veteran and it takes two headshots to drop a bandit

[ionic ice]

I had no ammo left at ||that poltergeist encounter when you loot the military bodies||

[lone wyvern]

There was no monster in the cave that I entered randomly before advancing the mission, I advanced the mission and entered the same cave, there was a monster and it was attacking. It's simple, but I wish the team had thought of these things 🙂

[charred nova]

Metro exodus is competently structured linear game

[bitter hamlet]

Has anyone encountered invisible NPCs/Enemys? I can hear them talk but I cant see them. The NPCs are talking but they are either not rendered in or something is broken

[charred nova]

Stalker just is not

[novel axle]

did you buy the barrel mod to give it the rail it needs to install the scope/acog? because yeah you need to do that, should be under modules on the barrel section

[real thorn]

All hail the monolith 🧟‍♂️

[inner quail]

As I said, I’m new to stalker lol. Just got a side quest with one but I didn’t really know who they are

[wintry torrent]

Some things like the Viper-5 you have to upgrade to get a rail on by the by

[half locust]

HELP NEEDED!!!! Onthe mission in the swamp how the Fu*** amor were the fu** do you go from the emission?

[lethal nova]

Hover over it in the inventory, if it doesn’t outline your gun then it’s the wrong scope

[placid pebble]

Maybe they will rebalance in patches... i do seem to feel similar that after about 10-13 hours theres just so much loot and medkits and bandages all over the place that it seems to get a bit easier.

[dense bloom]

Pin it

[zenith sedge]

dont worry the game turns into a bullet sponge ammo-farming nightmare later on anyway, youll hit the 100 headshot guys soon enough rofl

[junior current]

correct

[knotty dune]

I have the holo 5, says it works for the viper 5? I dont get the problem

[twin spear]

Has anyone find the Stalker 2 D12 Magarch from the Ultimate edition?

[jolly geyser]

not really, they have similarities but far from the same , and stalker 2 is lot bigger. But they will tweak the game to be great , not even mention the mods coming in the future

[lone wyvern]

IMO stalker also open world linear game.

[spice mica]

he’s not asking a question tho? he’s constantly complaining about alife not working like the devs are gonna release a patch instantly that magically solves the issue, takes like 2 minutes to go into the questions channel and read the devs response to someone asking about alife seemingly not being in the game

[meager marsh]

ong first base you walk into it's deadazz empty and then you look back 10 guys spawn in wanting you 🚿 🙀 @inner quail it's cool keep playing there's some bad guys and some good in all the factions

[novel axle]

I just told you what the problem is, you need to buy a mod for the viper-5 to add the rail to mount the acog/scope. it'll be under modules in the barrel section. costs about 1k

[charred nova]

Metro is just not open world

It’s a pretend open world

[dense bloom]

I yope u extra exaggerating.. or ill install that mod, it's ridiculous, one heqdshot should always kill lol

[cinder heart]

I agree that metro exodus is better, and definitely better structured, but stalker 2 FEELS like metro exodus, and you can’t change my mind about that

[zenith sedge]

yea I noticed in this one you cant go to a different zone without having completed the main quest for that specific area first, it sort of railroads you down a specific route and locks you out of going backwards

[charred nova]

Not pin worthy

[grave venture]

Stalker 2 is a pretend a-life

[versed frost]

Metro Exodus is not an open world, because it isnt seamless, it has multiple maps, albeit they are sizeable but it simply doesnt fit the description of an Open World Game

[wise valve]

why i only got 3 tasks on Seek and you shall find mission, and my friend has way more?

[spice mica]

@paper dome @keen mango mistyped meant to type isn’t sorry my bad

[inner quail]

Exodus is linear but has a few small “open world” places.

[wide spade]

This game is kinda like Outer Worlds to New Vegas as this is to Stalker COP

[novel axle]

SOme guns don't come with rails for scopes etc and have to have then modded onto it, viper-5 is one of these guns.

[ionic ice]

Can someone mod in the bar radio music from shadow of chernobyl to the bar

[jolly geyser]

This chat reminds me to Helldivers 2 gen chat 1 lol

[real thorn]

Helmet?

[zenith sedge]

yea but in this game you cant go to the next area without first doing the main story anyway, so seamless or not its irrelevnt

[junior current]

this is correct, maps, zones, tilesets, whatever you want to call them, do not 'live' or respond to the player at all. you have statics and triggers and thats it.

[dense bloom]

Imma shoot you a bullet on your head irl, tell me if your helmet stops it.

[knotty dune]

I got the scope mount, i assume its not the right one

[static lotus]

Thats how a helmet works.

[charred nova]

Yup not to mention saying metro has side quests is just laughable lmao

[spice mica]

hey bro I bought this bulletproof helmet on amazon, wanna help me test it?

[versed frost]

Yes several open world games do that they block parts of the map or gameworld. This is nothing new? Stalker 2 is an open world game

[strange otter]

Why everytime I open the game a window pops up and takes me to binance website? Help please

[novel axle]

really? ebegging? lol not that I can talk friend bought me the game fo rmy birthday.

[warped pond]

Don’t beg dude

[zenith sedge]

sure but its def not like a bethesda style open world

[hollow jay]

Dang can’t farm mutant parts???? Wtf that was the best part of stalker! Apart from them being 100 times more difficult we can’t make anything for killing them. That sucks! Hopefully this will get added soon.

[hollow briar]

Use Microsoft PC game pass.
Free 2 week trial.

[dense bloom]

Yeah for baby gun, we have military guns on the game.

[keen mango]

summarization of this chat: schrödingers A-Life

[jolly geyser]

i hope we will have a mod soon that if we wear a gas mask our view will change with it too, or maybe game has an option for that already im just blind

[zinc dagger]

That's absurd, a game that has an open world with dangerous hazards locks off particularly dangerous lately game areas through story progression, hmm, where have I heard of his, OH WAIT. ITS ALSO ON SOC

[grave venture]

Almost all helmet are build to stop debris from grandes, some can stop low power bullets like 9mm and almost none can stop a rifle round.
And even if they did the whip lash and concussion would do a number on you

[zenith sedge]

this game doesnt lock you out from hazards it locks you out by not letting you open the door until a certain quest is complete

[novel axle]

I'd remove that mod as screw immersion that crap just annoys the hell out of me. I shut it off in gamma right away.

[versed frost]

Bethesda makes dogshit games. Plese dont compare that trash to Stalker

[gentle widget]

I think its more like Farcry: Heart of Chornobyl

Cant wait for modding to fix this game, and hopefuly gets some GORE in the game!!!

[hollow briar]

"We smashed your A-WIFE"

[junior current]

the a-life conspiracy is one of the most comical things ive seen from a sub-section of the gaming community for a while now

[steady barn]

Does anyone else have a hard time trying to figure out if slugs are loaded?
Cause buckshot being blue is kinda messing me up.

[hollow chasm]

Half life conspiracy is crazy

[hybrid yarrow]

[zenith sedge]

bicycle helmet but painted with sonic characters vs .22-250 @ 4500fps the sonic helmet wins every time

[novel axle]

guess I am not the only one going "why is the buckshot blue?" buckshot is usually red while slugs have a green shell iirc?

[violet ember]

Also, do any of the time cycle mods break the game? Cause the community manager said that cocaine-fueled time cycle was intended, somehow

[junior current]

careful 'they' are listening gordon.

[frigid hill]

flixtrap has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[grave venture]

Yee, crazy how people still think it is in the game

[charred nova]

This is some deus ex type conspiracy

[cinder heart]

Yeah I guess the gameplay does feel a lot like farcry, but the combat is slower and the enemies are more tanky

[strange otter]

Blue buckshot? I must be colorblind

[charred nova]

Next thing there gonna blow up the Statue of Liberty

[zinc dagger]

If this was far cry solder would be a convincing villain

[zenith sedge]

lol idk what buckshot you get but the federal 00 I get is blue, ive seen green yellow orange red blue etc
Red for buckshot blue for slugs is a video game thing

[modest elbow]

how to the get to the journalist stash in swamps all the way bottom right ?

[novel axle]

I mean I was basing it just off games, as I don't know real guns much. i've only ever seen blue buckshot shells in stalker 2

[hollow briar]

• developer quietly removes A-life 2.0 from Steam page on purpose
• delusional copium-addicted gamers justify to no end
• same "experts" complain "IT WILL BE FIXED" ... Wait, this game was in development for the past 3-4 years on Unreal engine and it wasn't fixed yet?
• um... I don't care, I'm ok.

[zenith sedge]

the angels take Manhattan

[gentle widget]

Yeah for sure, wasent ment as a hard jab at the game either. But yeah, the tanky enemies and lack of cool guns is my only HARD gripe about the games launch state.

[strange otter]

Make slugs these colors please 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ 😩😭😭

[lethal nova]

The one in the locked house? Climb on top via the tractor and break in through the planks with your knife

[static lotus]

Thats not how helmets work but ok. There are modern mil helmets that can stop sniper rounds (depending on the range) you also get a nice headache.

[modest elbow]

there seems to be deep water everywhere around tho, idk where to cross

[grave venture]

Make a Google search, see for yourself

[novel axle]

easy fix for the mutants is to remove the dt system they use, as mutants were never supposed to have that, just humans with armor were, then maybe adjust their health as they have a massivly high amount of health compared to previous games

[zenith sedge]

it felt kinda weird shooting a dog in the head with a 308 and having it turn around and run away lol

[ember coral]

how do I get itno the ward base I already got their badge from the colonel

[zinc dagger]

This is actually very true with the exception of NATO helmets irl they can take a 5.45 at least

[lethal nova]

Oh, bottom right of swamps not bottom right of map top left of clear sky swamp.. best of luck to you

[strange otter]

You need to speak to Ligma in Zaton first to acess

[novel axle]

most mutants have a dt of 1 or more, bloodsuckers is 3, controller/giant/;chimera is 4 or 5, which means you basically need near max penetration guns to even touch them. Bascially you need to use high caliber/AP ammo on mutants

[honest linden]

Loco saquen un parche rápido

[ember coral]

thx mate

[west hill]

thats his actual name?

[grave venture]

Who is ligma?

[weak sapphire]

his full name is ligma nuts

[novel axle]

Shotgun has a pentration of 1, even with slugs, its why on a flesh it takes 4 slugs or 4 buckshot to kill one, as neither gets thru the DT

[strange otter]

Ligma ballz

[zinc dagger]

This is why we need to add the perk shotgun surgeon from hit game fallout: new vegas

[lethal nova]

Skill issues my shotgun is ripping and tearing like god intended

[zenith sedge]

ahh makes sense yea mutants are brutal

[grave venture]

Yee, and the black stranger perk

[royal urchin]

I LOVE MEN AND I WANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO KNOW

[meager marsh]

Im really hopeful for the future of this game. Mods are already being made + big promises of fixed 💪let’s hope these guys can cook properly

[broken mist]

If any lost their save i upload a video showing how to fix it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmM5OdzimD8&ab_channel=BLVCK

[novel axle]

Which sadly is completly opposite of the previous games, where they had no DT so shotguns were the goto as they were unarmored but just had a high health pool. Humans however even bandits were hard to kill with a bodyshot from buckshot as the armor basically made them take chip damage. slugs though would 1 shot em on a torso shot as it has enough penetration to blow right thru the armor

[hollow pawn]

Sorry if this has already been answered, has there been a date given for the next patch or hotfix?

[strange otter]

Ligma is that u?

[gentle widget]

Might be his brother Suggon

[zenith sedge]

lol whats a nato helmet

[prisma moss]

Hey guys where can i buy scanners cus i lost mine

[strange otter]

I believe hotfix comes out after their siesta

[zinc dagger]

There's like fifty of em dude go look up the ACH Or PASGT or smthn I'm too sleepy for this

[carmine jackal]

I found a person of color in the zone!

[grave venture]

It's a helmet with a NATO logo

[novel axle]

Also remember just because the bullet did not penetrate your armor doesn't mean your safe, the kinetic enegy is still going to slam into your internal organs, someone takes a 9mm to a vest and they are on the floor, yeah the bullet did not penetrate but the kinetic enegy still kicked their ass

[weak sapphire]

it's nato on yo face

[west hill]

chad bandit taking 6 bullets like a champ

[frozen sinew]

Guys, mods actually fix this game for me... Stamina, enemy health, repair cost, gun condition, framerate etc..

[zenith sedge]

lol maybe soft body but you can take a .308 to a plate and be ok if you arn't like obese

[wind cedar]

biggest trash game ever

[novel axle]

I was talking a standard bulletproof vest here, not extra plating under it.

[zinc dagger]

One 308. Would be fine on a steel plate unless it's ap
It's really a problem when your getting sprayed down by an assault rifle but at that point? You are basically already dead.

[proper basalt]

most of the armor in stalker is vests early and plating later tirght?

[zenith sedge]

baha yea thats true if its going through its gg, just mean the energy alone more so wont do too much to ya

[frozen sinew]

In modern conflict, it's very long range, you can't really go full auto.

[hushed wyvern]

There is a video of a guy who gets shot point blank with a FAL and the plate absorbs it with no damage to him. He doesnt even feel pain. Dont know what the plate was made of.

[silk prawn]

why is it always so stormy it wasnt like this in previous games

[novel axle]

well yeah the kinetic energy from all those AR rounds is going to destroy you internally, they don't need the bullet to get thru the armor to kill you, they just need enough internal damage.

[strange otter]

Global warming in the zoneee

[jaunty urchin]

I LOVE STALKER 2 GUITAR SYSTEM

[mystic mortar]

Anyone know if there is a post game or does it just kick you back to the main menu after? I want to make sure that I have an early enough save to reload to just incase there is no post game

[lament smelt]

I mean its the zone

[zinc dagger]

Most armor in stalker is literally just kevlar. It's just kevlar vests. I mean, the mercs in the og trilogy literally wore black hawk vests I don't think they care about protection much, the mercs at least

[zenith sedge]

no way lol bout 1500 ft pounds you can kick higher than that if you're joe rogan

[violet ember]

Am I the only one who is getting regular storms?

[novel axle]

I had em fairly often.

[mild sluice]

Anyone ran into Bes' rifle?

[weary hedge]

hello everyone, I found out that changing the game from fullscreen exclusive to fullscreen borderless helps with the game crashing/freezing during ALT+tabbing, hope this helps you all.

[waxen skiff]

Man I’m just dilly dallying around in some abandoned hospital or sum and suddenly I start to hear loud asf breathing, creepy whispers and a lot of loud walking sounds, can someone please tell me what is lurking in here with me 😭

[violet ember]

its like every single day for me

[zenith sedge]

true lol they got like mechanized robo suits in end game tho

[carmine jackal]

sid

[jolly geyser]

Epstein

[zinc dagger]

The exos may have plate carriers, I'm unsure.

[weak sapphire]

Gonne be honest what annoys me the most is that everyone sees you before you see them

[strange otter]

It has to be that new mutant

[waxen skiff]

BRO 😭

[carmine jackal]

this

[hollow pawn]

What do you think about being able to reload while running? Although it takes longer of course.

[zinc dagger]

I've been able to sorta remedy it with the classic trick of standing still behind a bunch of foliage

[zenith sedge]

its weird we can jump and reload but not sprint and reload
I end up bunny hopping around the dogs lmao

[weak sapphire]

Like suddenly dogs appear and im attacked, I suddenly get shot, someone has a fire fight and apparently they were right next to me but I never saw them.

[carmine jackal]

you never get the drop on em when out in the zone. It gets old fast.

[zenith sedge]

yea if they're gonna do spawns from a radius around the player its gotta be way wider than 75 meters or w/e it is atm

[zinc dagger]

Sometimes I just get accidently shot while walking down the road, because a couple dudes fighting in the field missed and hit me

[timid aurora]

This game is GOTY.

[lament smelt]

The map feels so big

[strange otter]

They hitting on u 😅😜

[past kelp]

You have to edit a CFG file. For the steam version it's located at C:\Users\[USERACCOUNT]\AppData\Local\Stalker2\Saved\GameSettings\AppliedSettings.CFG and set "ShowCrosshair = False" (default is true)

[zenith sedge]

im not sure its that much bigger than OG stalker games
I noticed a lot of people bring up how its massive but it feels like maybe 1.5 times the size

[weak sapphire]

Or the fact that im sitting in a house in a corner and some random dogs just found me....

[timid aurora]

Well, it is

[hollow pawn]

Me too man, the enemies take so many shots that you have to run to get distance but you can't reload and when you do they're on top of you again

[zinc dagger]

It's . 64km squared, I'm pretty sure SoC was only like 15km squared maybe less

[zenith sedge]

its about the size of that stalcraft games map lol

[weak sapphire]

Yessss I love it i wasted so much ammo on dog and got nothing out of it...

[carmine jackal]

lol when i was playing earlier the blind dogs started barking right next to me but never spawned in

[violet ember]

anyone tried the time cycle mods?

[dire heart]

controllers are crazy tanky in stalker 2

[harsh wren]

sooo what channel should i use to ask for help with a quest or what not
since i`ve been stuck on 1 for past hour

[zenith sedge]

how big was anomalies

[crisp mango]

go to gameplay advice

[lament smelt]

Genius

[fading parcel]

But you can disable it in game menu settings...

[west hill]

25 fps on epic settings

[lament smelt]

90 average with framgen and dlss quality

[zinc dagger]

No clue i haven't played anomaly in like two years

[crisp mango]

sb told me i can disable the yello marks on ladders. anyone know hooow?

[carmine jackal]

menu

[sweet lion]

In gameplay menu it's like marker or something

[west hill]

frame gen doesnt cause input lag?

[frozen sinew]

What is better.. AR416 or AKS? Weight, damage, accuracy, ammo etc... What would you pick?

[crisp mango]

i didnt found it. imma gfo search again and tel u if i found it or if i am stupid as hell

[spark widget]

Options>game>object highlighting

[carmine jackal]

doesnt matter. it's gonna feel like jobby cause of unstable frame time

[steep zodiac]

when is there going to be a patch?

[zinc dagger]

The yellow on ladders is honestly the least immersion breaking thing cause half the time those things are painted yellow or orange anyway

Hate the yellow paint anywhere else except to warn caution, like, you know it's actual use in industrial practice

[past kelp]

Funny, I've been messing around in the CFG files so much I didn't even look in game 🤦‍♂️

[sweet lion]

Frame gen does cause latency. The game already has very high latency like 50ms. What's weird is if you cap the games FPS with Riva Tuner the system latency goes up to over 100ms.

[grave venture]

Hk416 is probably the most reliable assault rifle able in our current time

[topaz plume]

Why is there a black baby doll on top of a tower? Is it a reference or something?

[frozen sinew]

In game though.. what would you prefer using?
I m thinking of just using the Ak with the scope for long range and use the MP5 for everything else

[crisp mango]

nah since one of the first side quests where u need to go up to that antenna this is freaking me out. farcry called, the wanna have there radio towers back!

[hollow yoke]

Showing the unusual pda to ward or spark - does it make a difference?

[grave venture]

Which do you think looks cooler? Go with that one

[quartz hamlet]

What do you think will be the estimated time til the patch arrives?

[hollow chasm]

2 more years

[sweet lion]

probably after people already beat the game

[keen grove]

hugeeee question, but uh, anyone else got the achievement to shoot a guy in the head through an obstacle while slammed on vodka

[lament smelt]

Stop asking this question we have no way to know lmao

[crisp mango]

keep both at first and look what ammo u get more in the area u are in

[grave venture]

If we keep asking maybe a dev will come and give us the answer

[west hill]

next year

[outer cave]

Almost 48h and still no patch? 😦

[novel axle]

thats a pretty random achievement lol.

[pure tendon]

found an artifact thats like leaking blood, p cool

[hybrid yarrow]

slava ukraine

[frigid hill]

ninjanick. has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[keen grove]

It will always be the ammo for the aks, i find that i get more ammo for 5.36 than any other, but when you do finally come across 5.56 you get a LOT

[grave venture]

Or better yet they will actually give us the game that they said they would

[frozen sinew]

is the unknown stalker 416 in any way better than the standard one with the same modification?

[crisp mango]

hey i got the first crash thats not caused from the game! steam just died 😂

[zinc dagger]

We tried that and they simply said they'd tell us when they were close to releasing the first hot fix

[west hill]

how do i turn off raytracing

[proper basalt]

found a bloody burrer scared the hell out of me

[carmine jackal]

you dont 😦

[keen grove]

Yeah, i checked it out in steam because wtf, but apparently only 0.6% of the playerbase has it, and apparently thats a lot less than the amount of people who have the " shoot a grenade out of the air" achievement. That one is at like 1.6

[grave venture]

U can't turn off the sun, it's part of the game

[frozen sinew]

I need to decide between the monolith ar416 and the unknown stalker one.. The bonsu weapons are cheaper to repair and look different

[novel axle]

The more people bug them and the more they need to react the less time they have to spend to get the fix out, so people acting up does NOT help it come out faster

[static lotus]

So alife 2.0 is suppose to fill the world right? Thats why when i go to areas its just empty?

[west hill]

always on raytracing, amzzing

[zinc dagger]

please not this conversation again I'm tired boss

[grave venture]

Weird right? Almost as if there is no A-Life 2.0 at all

[keen grove]

Lol, i dont think that exists, ive noticed that the "random encounters" is very static to a radius, and if you stay in that area the mutants and or people will keep respawning

[novel axle]

I used a mod to shut the raytracing off, or at least it said it did, only thing I noticed is the game got a bit brighter and imo looked better without the raytracing on

[static lotus]

Just confirming if thats how it works. 🙂

[hollow chasm]

A life ?! Im alifing my &@?!& limits

[zinc dagger]

it's bugged according to the devs, it doesn't exist according to the theorists, cast your vote!

[crisp mango]

there should be a bugpost channel so people can be pissed there

[buoyant jay]

Hi. Anyone got problem with nightingale doesnt appear?

[grave venture]

Guys is A-life 2.0 coming back?

[novel axle]

I choose option 3, modders have said it exists but is also bugged and that aligns with the devs.

[carmine jackal]

$20 dlc

[zinc dagger]

Is my father ever coming back?
I thought the release of stalker two would do it...

[west hill]

when is the story expansion dlc coming?

[crisp mango]

40$ dlc

[weak sapphire]

OMG so we are back to old school quest design where you can't find the quest item unless you are on the quest. I was already in the cave and found no anomaly and now suddenly that the guy in the windmill told me about it I can find it.... Why can't I find it before and just say ohh hey I already stumbled upon it. Amazingly dynamic game... Truly modern.

[novel axle]

welcome to how quests usually are??? I guess

[bold raven]

Yeah I was in that cave a minute ago and had to go again lol

[static lotus]

Real broken

[weak sapphire]

Yeah old dated RPGs most modern games if you stumble on the item early you can turn the quest in right away for instance Witcher3 cyberpunk ona do son

[mossy helm]

i had the same question in my mind just with stash boxes which are empty before getting their location from npcs and stuff

[novel forge]

is anyone else having bugged varan?

[quartz hamlet]

Such a toxic fanbase

[wintry torrent]

I have my Monolith 416 squirreled away, the Unknown Stalker’s AR was already pretty much broken when I got it + I haven’t seen all that much 5.56 lying around

[novel axle]

Oh I know, i've done it in everquest 2, can find quest items without the quest and then just turn it in, used to do it on accident all the time.

[crisp mango]

is that A-Life u are talking about with us in that room here?

[grave venture]

Skyrim had allready figure this quest item thing out

[weak sapphire]

Yeah feels much better when quest are dynamic 😄 Not like hey there is a ITEM in this cave that you explored 5 min ago. Man ukraine devs really need to learn from Polish devs.

[jolly chasm]

Well. When you lie and get the pushback from that lie being revealed as a lie, that's not toxic.

[grave venture]

Maybe we should let Bethesda do the next stalker, Todd help us

[weak sapphire]

CDPR or BSG

[quartz hamlet]

Every person in this chat room is toxic as hell. They are working on patches. No game developer is perfect. Never is

[pure tendon]

holy shit i just had like 4 bloodsuckers roll up on me and try to kill me, i never ran so fast in this game

[grave venture]

Cdpr? Lol

[weak sapphire]

You can't patch Quest design my guy its a design philosophy they chose. @grave venture CD Project Red, witcher 3 devs.

[novel axle]

its done for gameplay reasons, the forced spawning of quest objectives. @pure tendon ... 4? 1 is enough to make me run as they are a waste of ammo.

[keen mango]

Bethesda: The game would have come out 2029 in creation engine, basically being fallout 4 and 10x more bugs
CDPR: The reveal would have come out 2029
BSG: The dark stalker edition would cost 200 dollars and that's how you get access to side quests

[quartz hamlet]

Then no game will ever be perfect ever. No game dev will ever make the perfect game because every single dev has a buggy release

[gentle widget]

Can we only say nice things?

[zinc dagger]

That's it, I'm calling undertow games, maybe they can make stalker 2..

[junior current]

its not the fan base, its a sub-section of gamers who do this to every game trying to find 'the thing' to prove the game is xyz to feed their dopamine addiction caused by web 2.0 likes, shares, and engagement.

[hexed gorge]

Ich brauche Hilfe bei der Beschaffung einer Rüstung

[grave venture]

I'm just saying if Todd Howard was responsible for making A-life 2 it would just work

[novel axle]

.. Did they increase the chat time limit to 2 minutes? @junior current true its like in certain communitys its the vocal minority in that community that causes 99% of the communitys problems yet the entire community takes the blame.

[pure tendon]

yes like 4 i didnt waste a single bullet i just popped an energy drink and booked it to the nearest safe zone

[limpid cove]

Can someone help me, my radiation thing keeps going up even after using anti radiation, how do i get rid of it

[weak sapphire]

What gameplay reasons are there to spawn the quest item later and break the immersion? The item suddenly appears where it wasnt minutes ago? Please do the mental gymnastics. I'll answer its cheaper and easier to dev a rigid system because they would need multiple checks for multiple quests.

[lament smelt]

I prefer it that way

[blissful ember]

just kill em

damn 2 min slow mode what did yall do?!?

[junior current]

'auto content generation'

[west hill]

why are bloodsuckers so tanky

[carmine jackal]

some call the blood suckers, i call them bitches

[thorny ibex]

I have a question how many of you have been killed through brick and concrete walls?

[grave venture]

Unequip the artifact u dumb dumb

[pure tendon]

lol there was 4 of them and it was right after i did an assault and had to fight like 11 bandits and a boss, i had like 2 mags left i was not gonna win that fight

[weak sapphire]

So you prefer to visit 1 location twice for no apparent reason instead of it being dynamic? So like if you stumble on the items sooner the quest will adapt and accept it. The game wouldn't be worse if it had the system. @novel axle So a dated lazy game design.

[novel axle]

I mean thats exactly why they do it, its just cheaper and easier to do and less prone to bugs and issues. @west hill all mutants are because they stupidly have the same armor system humans use when they shouldn't. Also yes it is 2 min between chat, getting to the point you can't have a convo in here now. @thorny ibex was your leg or arm sticking out? as they might have been hitting that.

[lament smelt]

Idc

[knotty dune]

Is there a faction screen on the pda where u can see relations and stuff?

[zinc dagger]

we asked for a 30 second timer .. ... Get 2 minutes honestly deserved we've been talking too much

[blissful ember]

Pro tip, always have a high damaging rifle or PREFERABLY a shotgun on you to kill mutants.
6 full hits of buckshot brings down a bloodsucker in Stalker difficulty

[junior current]

its not for gameplay reasons its just when you make a live system for a game you design tools for that system and it becomes inherently part of your game developers design loop post engineering and thus instead of the content being distributed by multiple failure point systems you get quest items put out by the same tools as the 'live' procedural content generation system.

[quartz hamlet]

Funny how no one is responding to my last comment. Struck a nerve, did I? I say all games are buggy and glitchy, and suddenly, no one speaks to me.

[versed frost]

Whichever dev playtested and greenlit psy dogs in their current iteration is a real SOB

[tiny sky]

im having fun so far sure the a life isnt working well but im not nearly as bored as I was with witcher 3

[zenith sedge]

they're pain

[median meadow]

Anything said about controller support coming this weekend ?

[weak sapphire]

I literally responded to you.... It wont happen with the quests because they would have to re do check for every quests and at a ton of situations so no they wont patch it.

[west hill]

frame gen is the goat tho, 130 fps

[pure tendon]

i had a shotgun and an ak on me but i just didnt have the ammo to fight them, dw tho i was able to outrun them and get to safety relatively easily, 6 shells is alot for 1 mob in early game im only in the second zone i been doing side quests n stuff

[grave venture]

No one cares about you bro

[novel axle]

thats 4-5 hits too many compared to older games. especially with how annoying blood suckers are.

[knotty dune]

How do you know relations?

[crisp mango]

expecting sb has to answer your comment is funny in generall. read through this and u will see a lot of comments not getting answered 😂

[junior current]

i wish

[limpid cove]

I unequipped the one called "battery" but i still get radiation, just slower, do i need to remove all of them?

[thorny ibex]

Nope I was behind it and noone was behind but I get killed through the wall and I wasn't bleeding or anything

[zenith sedge]

im finding its easier to carry 20 medkits and a knife than it is a gun for mutants lol the knife seams to out DPS an M14

[leaden cradle]

hello stalkers, anyone having the same problem as I am? while sprinting its not really sprinting, player sprint slow like overweight but it isn't overweight, I don't know how to fix it

[grave venture]

Most of them give you radiation, so if you don't want it you have to unequip

[blissful ember]

You'll find ammo management for shotguns is the best thing
You unload an AK you get 1-3 5.45 rounds.. not much
You unload a shotgun and you get 1-3 shells, big damage

also here's what I think of Bloodsuckers being tanky @novel axle
#📸┃screenshots_and_videos message
( ps: watch this lmao @zenith sedge )

[strange raft]

I can't with this game.... i really liked 1st one but this ain't it, you show yourself for 0.01 seconds and through a pixel they shoot you, making you have to spam heals.... but STILL my biggest gripe is there's no sound when traversing bushes / tall grass, it's so immersion breaking its insane.

[pure tendon]

yea i did not expect to fight a pack of bloodsuckers after a huge faction fight i participated in, i got stalkered

[limpid cove]

Damn, i didn't know that, thanks, so do i just sell them?

[zenith sedge]

lmao yea knife is actual one of the best weapons its weird as

[zinc dagger]

At least the brass makes funny clinking noises when they hit the floor

[brave oyster]

Yeah i hope they'll improve sound design to approach a bit what Escape from tarkov dev made , like bush sound , footstep , weapon sound and so on

[atomic jungle]

Does anyone know when any hotfix is going to arrive ?

[novel axle]

I think Knives ignore the whole armor system mutants now use. its the only way to explain it

[tiny sky]

im not too far in but anyone disappointed with the faction system freedom and duty peace deal lol and I rarely see squads of like mercs and bandits out there fighting eachother and its hard to even tell whos part of what faction and theres stats page in the PDA

[static lotus]

Just killed one of those big 3 head dudes, took me 200 bullets and about 60 AP 556.....

[knotty dune]

How do you even know what faction someone is?

[blissful ember]

The reason you rarely see any faction fights is cuz ALife 2.0 is not functioning

[bold raven]

I just want a bigger spawn radius for events. Can't catch a break

[open sedge]

is there any reason I shouldn't sell every PDA I find?

[zinc dagger]

Some of them are quest items, some of them are just junk

[weary hedge]

I thought Sidor would take them for a better price but no

[woven tartan]

Going to dome Owl as soon as my saves start working again, they're holding me back, free me GSC. FREE ME

[tiny sky]

gotta look at the patch on their arm or they just need to tell you I think clear sky = spark and monolith = noontide

[green jolt]

Best way is using the dot/reticle to tell if someone is a friend or not before shooting them

[muted dune]

huge thanks to csc for the incredible a-life, i don't know why people complain but seems why better than recent titles

[knotty dune]

I dont use the reticle

[static lotus]

There is no a-life.

[frail crystal]

so white dot is enemy right

[zinc dagger]

It's broken, like the table.

[autumn plume]

The bug is not happening to everyone

[crisp mango]

kinda hurts reading this. i get you, but old stalkers might getting hurt reading this

[pure tendon]

i just came across an anomoly field with giant bubbles

[woven tartan]

touch em

[weary hedge]

They even acknowledged it was broken.

[west hill]

how the hell do you walk through the poppy field

[quiet grove]

What stalker 2 is, photorealistic outsourcing indian studio.

Just it, and also... Dont have hope on multiplayer will not be coop devs already confirmed that 👍

[bold shore]

Drink those energy drinks

[frail crystal]

lack of pda alerts and lack of faction mechanics (atm) really suck. Loving the rest of the game but yeh, hopefully alife fixes some of the issues.

[weak sapphire]

This game is just dated mediocrity shrouded in fancy graphics...

[knotty dune]

What do yo mean by spark and noontide?

[green jolt]

I agree but atm with the spawns and npcs being broken it’s a bit difficult gauging who is who

[weary hedge]

Literally the only thing most stalkers wanted. Zone with friends

[woven tartan]

new factions, one lead by a crazed homeless guy and the other former monolith femboys

[serene mural]

PDA? The subnautica thing?

[west hill]

i ran out 😦 im doing the root cellar thingy

[knotty dune]

💀

[zinc dagger]

In the newest stalker game you get to watch monolith members experience twink death

[quiet grove]

Tbh, i feel that stalker2 was made 4 months before the release date

[pure tendon]

they burn ):

[bold shore]

I’d leave and do it later once you have enough energy drinks

[lament smelt]

Do it in only 4 months im watching

[hexed gorge]

Ich brauche Hilfe bei der Beschaffung einer Rüstung

[crisp mango]

yes. i dont know if there will be binos like in the other titles but that would help. and yeah, the world needs to be alife to get this working. at the moment u dont even have consequences shooting people from other factions

[woven tartan]

you can do poppy without energy drinks, run around the field to the shortest distance from the cellar than go quick

[weak sapphire]

It not like it was made by a solo dev 😄

[jolly geyser]

btw is there a working faction reputation already? i remember in prologue i died first time using the scanner but during that ive seen a pop up saying something like " blabla faction is now hostile"

[west hill]

ok but where is it lol

[quiet grove]

Give me 10million dollars and a indian outsourcing studio.

[pure tendon]

worth it, found an anomoly that protects against rad finally

[muted dune]

china number 1

[versed frost]

More i play, i realize how complete ass the encounter design is in this game. 4th POI i visit in the Lesser Zone, an entire platoon of dogs rushes at me from inside a structure. No obvious tells, no growling, no sleeping dogs. Its always the same, get within a set distance and the bullshittery ensues.

[lone rain]

Dicks out for harambe. Imagine the irony, I preordered the game in 2022 and instead of playing early, I'm gonna play in a week when I receive my Ultimate copy 😂

[serene mural]

Bro in his message says PDA and that’s the thingy from subnautica

[zenith sedge]

30 randomly spawned dogs becomes pretty common lol
and 50 randomly spawned rats
Youll get used to just ignoring enemies

[knotty dune]

Not the thing from subnautica

[sand niche]

Bodycam Reshade goes hard

[hexed gorge]

Hallo? Ich brauchte Hilfe bei meinen Missionen, sie sind zu schwer und meine Ausrüstung ist es auch
an der roten Markierung

[grave venture]

Guys when is the A-life 2.0 update dropping?

[woven tartan]

Shoot the loner in the house he has a map, if you dont want to, its opposite side of the field of where he stays at, in a ditch. The cellar protects from the sleeping effect i think

[burnt gust]

I wish bodycam had better gameplay

[jolly geyser]

good joke :D would create a bollywood stalker trailer nothing more

[weary hedge]

I'd have rather they pushed it back again and released a more complete, fine tuned product. Especially given the price tag. I just cant wrap my head around the fact that they didn't know about any of these issues before launch. Almost like the studio didn't do extensive play testing themselves.

[carmine jackal]

https://tenor.com/view/speak-english-pulp-fiction-do-you-speak-it-gif-16440534

[livid barn]

2 things i wanna say. 1. why are the hit ratio bad. why do they need 20 hits 2 die :(. 2. I am having graphic bugs that lag my entire game so its unplayable. can someone help

[astral portal]

Can I make my own stashes?

[west hill]

i can just shoot him? nice

[quiet grove]

Prob in 1 year, and it will be called DLC

[frail crystal]

sometimes games have to release due to other factors, it sucks but its endemic of the gaming industry. The devs don't decide that.

[serene mural]

Then why is it called PDA

[zinc thistle]

Fact checking myself: Has anyone else tried chugging copious amounts of Non-stop and sprinting? Nothing will randomly or dynamically spawn for you to encounter if you do.

[zenith sedge]

do not shoot the opium man he has a nice ASMR voice

[hexed gorge]

Nein, das tue ich nicht
