with radial spawn 2.0, the new and improved a-life

[edgy snow]

True that, I agree that the reality is that power got to their head, at least for the guys on the ground who feel superior to the rest of the zone

[fleet nymph]

scar is a lunatic I’m not sure what happened to him but he’s certainly not the successor to clear sky I thought he’d be but he clearly knows how to coexist with the zone by what I watched him do.

[warped slate]

Listen, I have zero tolerance for A-Life not being implemented and I'll express that, but my brother in Christ, Stalker 2 has more story than Stalker ever had. Put down the percacet 30s.

[novel axle]

No one is going to destroy the zone, its basically a force of nature at this point, you cannot stop nature and she will screw you over anytime she pleases. Duty;s entire MO was set in failure from the get go.

[nocturne plume]

I’m holding off playing until A life is back in the game… unfortunately, that won’t be for at LEAST 2 weeks. Latest hot fix hasn’t confirmed A life fix (or even dead zone fix).

skollvargr has been warned

[coarse vector]

tbh speaking of story one thing im worried about is playing the game while waiting for the fixes to come out cuz i wanna get invested but i cant if all im thinking abt is the fact its not polished

[long bane]

i wannna talk but the 2 minute slowmode is kind of pissy ngl

[meager crag]

Uh-oh, boo-boo detected

Oh shit, this thing still Slowmode 2 mins?

Bro why tf am I going into zone because my house got blown up

[meager crag]

Sounds yikes, ngl

[ionic ice]

He's a rage baiter lmao hes been doing this since the release. It's pretty admirable how much dedication he has to making people mad

[meager crag]

You're not, Skif is

[weary hedge]

Are you ok?

[summer burrow]

So Call of Pripyat did have a rudimentary implementation of 3rd person, but it was removed (either before release or shortly after, I can't tell), might still be accessible with LTX edits but I'm not about to dive that deep

[mossy helm]

ok its crazy.. i found that to use nvidia frame gen i need to turn on gpu hardware acceleration on windows. i did that ,restarted pc, turned on the game and there is no nvidia frame gen setting anymore at all.... previously it was greyed out now it is not there anymore... what a hell?

[little maple]

All the games had very weird 3rd person, you would have to bind them in the console

[rustic willow]

It is, this is how it was enabled in Anomaly

[carmine jackal]

[worldly breach]

Bruh, you need to rebuild your flat mr. einstein

[lusty lantern]

Anyone know we're to get lead container blueprint?

[waxen skiff]

Yeah it’s annoying asf

[meager crag]

Not to mention it was Captain Tachenko who fixed for the comms to go down. No way they were abandoned by the Military, Tachenko cut off the comms

[true marsh]

Im on Xbox i cant

[edgy snow]

tbh I'm more of a freedom guy since clear sky and the banter they had in their base, that really cracked me up

[fleet nymph]

All of Skif’s Vodka and sausage was burned that day. Someone had to pay, and Skif is taking revenge on those who caused his Vodka and sausage supply closet to be torched to the ground.

[novel axle]

Yes. it was painful when it was 1 minute but they doubled it. if anything it needs to be lowered to 15-30s.

[long bane]

i hate freedom because theyre freaky

[sharp flame]

im sure alife is implemented but just broken as hell right now

[slow terrace]

Why did that make you so upset he didn't even do anything 😭

[patent jackal]

All in all Ward is super fun because having an Inquisition type faction in Stalker is cool af.
I really wanna know more about them

[warped slate]

But techinally if something isn't working, it's not implemented right?

[summer burrow]

Yee, Crimson was saying they didn't and I was like "I could have swore there was" so it got me to reinstall CoP

[rustic willow]

The offline implementation is there, you can see it in the file references. But it's not currently clear if it's enabled at all.

[meager crag]

Yeah, it could be that it's still available to activate third person with console commands, so that's definitely possible

[worldly breach]

No wonder why bloodsuckers do exist, they gotta suck blood from somewhere

[waxen skiff]

Maybe hat guy who said selling bloodsucker heads as fleshlights would be a good idea wasn’t so wrong after all

[edgy snow]

how can you blame them, have you seen that bloodsucker bakery ?

[sharp flame]

actually technically in this case means yes it IS implemented but broken... thats different to not being implemented at all

[gritty coyote]

Hi guys quick question, Is it Possible or planned that we can play the game after we finished the Main story ? im just wondering because some say yes some say no

[lament smelt]

Even when People talk anything which have 0 links with a life or ai, he still bring ai and whatever thing he want to blame

[novel axle]

I am prob in the minority here, but I feel Alife should honestly be a lower priority compared to some of the other issues players are having, performance, tanky mutants, massive quest bugs that can end runs, and more. I feel those need to get fixed first THEN Alife.

[proud hawk]

man I hate the swamps in this game

[jolly geyser]

ngl game is pretty easy vs humans on stalker since i got the Valik lummox's sniper, even mutants like poltergeists and mutants similar to that since i upgraded the saw off

[fleet nymph]

Ok but instead of the Free Stalkers they were called the 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 Stalkers and instead of Getting Artifacts they got Lucky?

[slow terrace]

Idk why it makes you upset man, unless you think there's an issue with it?

Hopefully with this official word from the devs the whiners will stop whining about everything

[shut ginkgo]

Stalker themed H game lol

[summer burrow]

I noticed the tanky mutants weren't mentioned at all in the update announcement

[edgy snow]

got my stalker pass for free here

[lament smelt]

Even if the game is perfect there will be always some People whining

[novel axle]

Lets have a real discussion why aren't there women in the zone? you'd think there would be govt run brothels and such in the zone, as they'd make a mint there. granted staffing them might be hard, but I mean, there is prob some people hard up enough to go for it as its better than their alternative. I mean it has free room and board, pay, prob benefits etc. As for exploring the zone I can see why its a super brutal place for anyone.

[fleet nymph]

If you fail any of the romance options you get the message “Lost to the Friend-ZONA”

[jolly geyser]

to some of them its like asking to stop breathing , some will never stop

[umbral tangle]

mutants and getting raped , shrimple as that

[orchid spoke]

How to get to Pripyat and the Jupiter plant is interesting to study them

[modest agate]

whats with the respawn rate, am i playing an MMO?

[sharp mountain]

Spark is literally what remains of Clear Sky (Scar), also Scar is a F deranged loon now, you can literally tell from the first encounter something's off with him, I mean, in CS he ends getting a big psy wave going through his head. he's toast (that's why he's offering you a toast violently)

Also to the Ward guy, yeah it's not good, but I mean, they're just meanies from the start of the game, they brute force through everything in the name of "progress"

Also I F love Faust. (Big af spoiler ahead) ||It's so F sad we can't join him, that would've been an amazing plot point to literally just say F it and help him and just end with Skif's ending anyways huge missed opportunity from gsc, could've played as mono :8||

It's also very sad how they handled Duty and Freedom, there's absolutely no content for them, just 2 missions for each faction and that's it, they handled the Zaton part much better. Feels like some factions are absolutely irrelevant in the zone now.

I really dislike how people treat anything new that coudl've been added to the game to improve the gameplay or some interested mechanics as "gamma fanbase", even if so, gamma has brought a lot of new players and old ones back to stalker which is not only good but shows what A LOT of players want out of Stalker.

Also I keep getting warned because I can't stop saying the F word

[meager crag]

Well, there are now

[shut ginkgo]

Go to Rostok...

[waxen skiff]

In this game there actually is

[slate rover]

BUT alas, the game is not perfect in any sense of the word

[carmine jackal]

if it had a-life like the old games it would be a 9/10 for me. currently its a 1/10

[long relic]

There is, you just havent gotten there yet

[sharp flame]

bloodsucker brothel?

[long bane]

go to the skadovsk bro

[edgy snow]

what are you doing step-bloodsucker chan ?

[meager crag]

Check pins both here and in #⭐┃nospoilers_general

[steep sluice]

They've said they're working on fixing it? It's not implemented because its a broken system and therefore would be more detrimental than what they currently have in place

[fleet nymph]

Imagine in 3 years when Grok has enough mods to make GAMMA 2 with this game. Now THAT is exciting.

[meager crag]

Mfw this chat

[worldly breach]

You played too much of Concord, chill.

[novel axle]

Thats why the brothels with security and such. @long relic I mean in the games as a whole including the previous games. Like it just seems artifical that there are no female stalkers. I';d expect them to be rare but still some should exist imo. Naw not horny just a legit question, as the army irl has females on the front lines. @worldly breach i've never played concord, game looked like crap.

[little maple]

[slate rover]

They sold us a product under the facade of A-Life 2.0. They did NOT deliver the AI system and thus falsely advertised the AI. It is even more evident that they changed the AI verbiage in order to avoid any backlash just hours or days before release. (dont remember when).

[round coral]

are others having issues with performance?

[summer burrow]

Based on that bandit conversation Crimson posted above it seems like the mutants and the men also have to worry about those

[meager crag]

First of all, there are now. Secondly, it makes sense because of Scarlet Flowers. Look it up

[fleet nymph]

Simple. If you read Roadside picnic you’ll know even the men end up mutating their future offspring.

Red (the MC of roadside picnic) got the monkey

[waxen skiff]

Maybe they couldn’t find female vas or sum

[meager crag]

Not to mention Poker 💀

[edgy snow]

the thing you saw are config files, people Who know UE5 said that something like A-life's inner working wouldn't be found in cfg files

[lament smelt]

They didnt remove it from their website ? Lmao if it was the case they would have remove it everywhere

[sharp flame]

when alife 2.0 is working though, itll be much better

[steel ivy]

Someone is trying to sell me a car rn

[umbral tangle]

the zone would only interest very very few women ngl

[upbeat jackal]

yo to what extent is there working for factions? is there for example siding with freedom/duty for the ending or is it really just going with ||the ward or scar or loners||

[long relic]

I do game development full time. Why are they still mentioning ‘A life bug fixes’ when its not a bug fix. A dynamic zone does not exist. Im actually way more concerned now

[novel axle]

Just hanging in towns doesn't really count. I mean look at fallout, i'd say fallout is JUST as dangerious as the zone is. I am not saying I WANT player accessable brothels in game, as honestly I never care or bother with content like that in a game, hell I basically never bother with any of the romance crap in games.

[carmine jackal]

stalkers, if you run out of artifact slots on your suit i'll let you in on a trade secret, the rectum

[steep sluice]

So because a component of the game is not working as the devs somehow deserve to have their hard work slandered? There are plenty of games that release incomplete nowadays, I don't see why stalker 2 following that trend should surprise anyone

[meager crag]

Mostly siding with a faction, but yeah, ||don't expect any Freedom or Duty endings||

[worldly breach]

Men lose their virginity to bloodsuckers and women wants to visit the zone, its fishy.

[meager crag]

Yeah, but that's actually an apocalyptic setting. The Zone is not

[summer burrow]

If they were really trying to damage control by removing references to A-Life wouldn't you think they'd remove it from everything? It's still mentioned on the website in the FAQ and GSC has talked about it here, it's even in the update announcement

[waxen skiff]

All stalkers are homosexuals confirmed?

[long bane]

freaksters

[edgy snow]

truly the wokest game of all

[little maple]

I'd compare Spark more to Freedom, openly fighting government entities for the zone to be a free place, to be studied and appreciated as a miracle of the Earth, Clear Sky was mostly made up of Scientists, every encounter they had in combat was a disaster there was one assault they won and that was Limansk and even then they had heavy casualties

[steel ivy]

Random loner is trying to sell a car to me looks like it runs do I buy or this the gause scam all over its 6k

[meager crag]

I'm not, so that disproves it

[ornate flame]

[sudden pumice]

[meager crag]

Nuh-uh

[lost lava]

Only freedom members

[sharp flame]

molotov cocktails when????

[novel axle]

That is a good point. @waxen skiff I mean, if your that desperate and any hole is a goal.... maybe? many men would prob be to proud to go that route though.

[worldly breach]

I can vouch for dutyers, they truly are

[prime socket]

how to fix memory leak? it says stalker 2 takes 8gb in task managet but all 32gb is taken and when i close the game process my ram becomes clear again, so game takes more than 8gb, more like 20gb. and my memory use is close to 100%

[slate rover]

Their hard work is noticeable in the world building and gameplay mechanics. However, a CORE feature of the stalker series is missing and its inexcusable to release a game that is missing the one feature we all fell in love with stalker for. It is not excusable and QA testers should have found this out weeks in advance before going gold. Im not boycotting the game, im currently playing atm I just dont understand how people can think stalker is stalker without A-life lol.

[meager crag]

Try finding an irradiated pipe over at the Garbage, I guess. Then your brain wouldn't be the only thing that's rotted away

You'll see more about spark later on, it's pretty much broken cs, but even more broken, idk how to explain this one lmao

[upbeat jackal]

generally is there much to do though for duty/freedom or are ||they kinda nonexistent at this point in time with nothing to really do, as in doing things for a faction against another? (such as doing a freedom quest against duty) i know it said there was a ceasefire im just curious into how much i can really interact/meddle with the old factions of the original trilogy|| (btw marking a lot of spoiler just in case)

[ornate flame]

Are those in the game? I haven't gotten very far yet. Just started leaving the first zone.

[summer burrow]

They're canonically pansexual

[sharp flame]

there is a really easy fix.... download the patch when its available

[blissful ember]

|| Freedom still exists. Cease fire has also ended. No clue where duty is atm for me ||

[lament smelt]

Because not everyone have played other stalker game ?

[meager crag]

I don't know, tbh. Haven't really experienced it yet

[austere grail]

why do the bandits dont shoot me when im equipped ak with mosin scope, but when i pull out my pistol suddenly im the war crime doer

[steep sluice]

I like the game, I'm playing it, if you guys want to whine about one insignificant feature then by all means, ruin your own experience

[worldly breach]

Kissing homies goodnight isnt gay at all. Them stalkers r tripping

[novel axle]

Ok we need a quest where some rookie stalker tried this and he sends us to get a artifact to try to regrow his now missing junk. Make it so GSC LOL. Flaming crotch man quest in cyberpunk 2077 had me laughing my ass off.

[long relic]

They’re still mentioning bug fixes, like brother its not a bug fix. a dynamic A Life system does not exist

[prime socket]

so waiting for official patch u mean? ok

more like most people played anomaly and never played the trilogy

How do you mean? ||Spark as a faction was made to work with scientists in the zone, they are fighting corporate/government entities who want to destroy the zone. Clear Sky was made by former project X scientists Spark seem to be more militaristic like Freedom||

Anyone else find it funny how content creators are higher in the userlists than the mods are?

[worldly breach]

[north pagoda]

breh they kinda have all 3 game maps in 1 game. lol

[slate rover]

That was a very braindead take. With that analagy, I assume if artifacts were missing from this game your argument would be "maybe we havent played the other games with artifacts in them" its a core system dude, stop shilling and realize its not a complete game without A-life.

[golden wren]

what troubles me the most is the AI behavior and that the stealth is not viable, also NPCs aimbot deadshot precision and that they constantly know where you are, or so it seems like, I am still enjoying the game and I am loosing track of time, but still plenty of room for improvement 😉

[meager crag]

Yup, I found it funny as well

I'd agree if it was free! Just because people complain about this doesn't mean they all agree with the current industries practice of releasing unfinished games for other studios. I'm sure you not okay with games, or any products in general releasing, unfinished so why draw the line here?

[sharp mountain]

Just progress in the game, you'll see what spark is about, they have no allmighty goal... ||Scar just wants revenge on the Ward and pushes everyone to do just that his goal is Fd up||

The shining zone is (HUGE AAH SPOILER) ||scar's mind just torn in half, his ideal zone is one where there's no darkness, everyone is happy, it's impossible, so in the ending uhhh where Scar wins, Spark ending, he literally kills everyone in reality or pushes them into an illusion of a happy little zone, kinda creepy.||

the grenade stuff is literally on a timer, every 25s a npc will toss a grenade your way, there is no variance or randomness to it. They also have 100% chance to do this, if anything ti should be based on Npc rank, and have a varying cooldown to keep it more dynamic

I'd have stood there and watched the free stalkers die and then killed the survivors which most likely would be the fleshes with how busted mutants are. I've watched 2 boars roll 6 human npcs with assault rifles and survive it, I shit you not. They are way to tanky, if they tried that in the previous games those baors would be dead in a split second by the npcs with even half the numbers

You just flash banged me with memories of my favorite childhood YouTuber (also can you PLEASE turn down slow mode, if you can)

[surreal mural]

Mine is 99% fall damage
"wonder if I can survive that"
no

[vestal fable]

Gsc and ubisoft are kin.

[novel axle]

loot seems the same, things are mor tanky and deal more damage, player deals less damage, repairs and merchants are more harsh, on stalker a ak47 thats 40% con can sell for 1000 koupons, on vet you get like 200 for the same. stuff is also 30-35% more expensive or so across the board, as the mask goes from 10.5k on Stalker to 13.5k on veteran at Hamster. Loot seems the same on both difficulties from what i've noticed.

[meager crag]

I cannot 🗿

[warped slate]

FSR is 50% of my frames. I turn that off, the game is unplayable.

[summer burrow]

On PC I'd try reinstalling and/or starting a new game, not sure what your options on Xbox are

[old pumice]

Anyone know how to get around the Lt. Mateus dialogue loop at the Chemical Plant?

[grim wharf]

Have you tried resetting system cache this involves turning off your Xbox unplugged the power cable and holding the power button for 10-15 seconds

[oblique adder]

does the anomaly changelog file include all previous updates too?

[little maple]

Your save might be corrupted, try loading a different save

[blissful ember]

turn down your settings then

[terse bluff]

Guys, what should I do? I need to talk with technician of freedom (main quest) to install some shit (no name of it to not spoil). I don’t have an option in dialogue with him

[slow terrace]

Because veilguard just doesn't appeal to the dragon age audience that much, I mean seriously, I loved dragon age inquisition and origins but veilguard just doesn't look fun to me. Not to mention the artificial diversity to meet quotas it has on display just to try and score a quick buck on progrssives

[errant ocean]

I've tried the last three auto saves, two Manuals, and two quick saves. The loading arrow reaches near the middle and just stops

If I wanted to play poverty simulator I'd just go to work 😞

bro im gonna explode, my friend keeps showing me s2 bcs he's never played a stalker game b4 and I don't have the money for it
RAHH

[novel axle]

I'd not be surprized if difficulty also effects weapon and armor wear rates as well. Remember, Rookie is easy mode, Stalker is normal and how the devs intend you play, and Veteran is hard mode.

[versed sage]

Anyone seen this man in game?

i liked the faction wars in clear sky swamp but i didnt play a massive amount outside of the swamp

[weary hedge]

I just had a very old games moment in stalker 2. I was going for the stash in the grain silo in the lesser zone near the border wall thing. I climbed up and was looting it as ya do when boars and bandits got into it below. I watched the fight looted the box killed tbe boars and looted the bandits

[low nymph]

no more copium about a-life 😦

Rookie makes stalker 2 so damn easy it might as well be called Journalist mode.

WHY ARE ANTIRAD ARTIFACTS SO RARE

[sharp flame]

gettin a bit spicy there

[jolly geyser]

thanks i thought harder diff. would mean we have less medkits etc loot in the world and raining would be radioactive time to time n similar stuff. Maybe i will change it if it started to be too easy vs mutants too

[long relic]

Funny that they didnt mention balancing issues a single time when its one of, if not the easiest things game-development wise to adjust

[little maple]

Not familiar with Xbox, is there anyway you can repair game files? Try restarting your console or checking the storage game might not have enough memory

[summer burrow]

"artificial diversity" argument detected, chucking in bin with the 633456345 other posts like this

Like thqr felt like the og games for a second so broken though it may be some alife does exist?

[burnt gust]

alright ive already tried to restart my game and do another mission, and i still cant do arena round 4! it still says wait for the next fight!

[slow terrace]

Idk to me it becomes so fake when companies try and shove it in, I liked how baldurs gate did it

[novel axle]

yeah thats what bothered me the most about the update announcements, as the mutants and weapon balance is one of the top things people complain about.

[topaz crane]

i find em alot on vet to.

[errant ocean]

Just did a full fresh unplug. I have 90 gigs free on my console. Still no dice

95% of the time its just changing a value, thats why it was grok’s first mod released fixing bloodsuckers

[strange otter]

I heard someone say there's no wild territory in the game. Is that true?

[burnt gust]

ive slept like 50 times by now

[quasi ember]

Hey do we have any suggestions/feedback channel? Where can I give long suggestion/feedback?

[jolly geyser]

i will probably do that too after i grabbed the shotgun from the journalist stash , tho fighting group of bloodsuckers will be interesting on veteran lol, i hope it will happen not just solo suckers

[weary hedge]

I need to find fhe journalist stashes pda

[lament glade]

SPOILER ALERT :|| I woke up the wish granter and the monolith returned to what it was originally
They attack the different cities but when I arrive at the terril base.I receive a message telling me that they are invaded, and there is no no one!
Same in zalissya where the old man says that they are attacked, we can hear gunshots in the 4 corners of the city, everyone is dead and there is an army of monoliths in the locked city hall which don't attack.||

the game is half finished, that's for sure

[deep grail]

has anyone got the Sotnyk rifle yet?

[turbid agate]

is there gonna be multiplayer

[topaz crane]

im in Zaton now >D

[oblique adder]

whats with all the drama in the anomaly moddb page? i dont understand

[meager crag]

||Degtyarev||'s rifle, right

[meager crag]

Yup, later on

[blissful ember]

quest is bugged in zalissya. even if you work around and do complete the quest, it'll fail once you leave town for a bit

[jolly geyser]

in the future yeah, but first they have to improve A-Life a lot and other stuff

[sharp mountain]

Yeah, it's bugged as hell, just wait for the patch, I'll probably play the game again in a month to do the secondary missions, I skipped them all out of fear to have them also being glitched

[plush kestrel]

I'm having such a good time in the zone again. Stalkers, it's been fun to be in the zone since 2011

[vast tartan]

ik about the boxes by beds, im talking stashes in the world

[meager crag]

[long relic]

Yo stalker, have you heard about the absolute mess that is radial A-Life 2.0 in Blood Sucker 2? Gang, let me tell you, it’s straight-up brain rot. 😵‍💫 Like, you go into the Zone thinking you're a badass stalker, but nah, you're just dealing with NPCs rizzing out like they're in some kind of TikTok challenge gone wrong. 🧟‍♂️📱

The so-called "AI" is a sussy imposter. One minute, they're walking into walls, and the next, they're just standing there, vibing to their own non-existent honey pack. 🎵🚶‍♂️ Meanwhile, you're out here trying to survive, but it feels like you're the only one with a functional coomer brain. 🧠💀

[meager crag]

At least GSC is working on fixing the issues

Can't say the same about Ubisoft

[carmine jackal]

Damn, your save might be corrupted. If Xbox has an option try to see if you can repair the files

[short arch]

Stalker 2 mods are a godsend

No repair costs, longer days, less mutant hp etc

[obsidian parrot]

where do I submit bugs, I have one that actually breaks the entire economy

[neon sigil]

Hey guys. Ugh so how do I say it, I was on a dumpster, and went to pick up loot from a hiding place. Then a few monolith illusions spawned, there was some artifact on the ground, I then realized my guy started tripping out. I had one psy-stuff meds in my backpack and that didnt really do anything.

I ran to the hideout where I have my bed, doctors, and stuff. Tried asking doctor to heal - he said I’m healthy. Bed said I have negative effects. No icon of psy stuff on my character. Yet phantoms run into me, I hear voices, and HP drops rapidly.

Wtf to do?

I reloaded earlier save and just didn’t go to the place. Is it a bug or I’m just a noob? Anyone had similar?

[meager crag]

Imagine modding the game to not play the game

[finite basin]

join monolith and pray

[burnt night]

WHY IS THERE A WOMAN IN THE SKADOVSK

I asked the wish granter for A-life 2.0 but instead he just freed P diddy. Monkey’s paw strikes again

[carmine jackal]

$60 A-Life DLC. Confirmed

[meager crag]

Could be a bug? You could try reporting it in #s2-support

[vestal fable]

would you buy stalker 3 later on if it gets announced in a year or 2 or are you wary of the studio now?

[silent anchor]

so the M701 super "Hunter" that was part of the pre order, has anyone found its stash location?

[short arch]

Uuuhh you talking about me? How is modding the game to be less annoying not playing it?

[meager crag]

In a year or 2? Hell no. Give them time to cook. 2 years is way too short for a new STALKER

[obtuse canopy]

anyone quest locked on no honor among theives ?

[neon sigil]

Is the mod called “lets make the game casual as f’ck so you don’t have to do anything to get through it? Remove weight limit at that point too, and make everyone buy red weapons. Or just make infinite money lol

[summer burrow]

All I know is SoC used to cause BSODs and Stalker 2 hasn't crashed to desktop once for me

[meager crag]

No repair costs do B cheating, tbh

[mossy helm]

for everyone experiencing lag - turn on gpu hardware acceleration on windows. this advice should be put somewhere for everyone to see because it changed my game's performance like day and night difference!

[slow terrace]

This guy doesn't get the 4 hour modding 2 hour playing
grindset and it shows

[vestal fable]

I haven't crashed either, that's a good point

[short arch]

As someone with a 300+ mod fallout NV modlist, thanks for appreciating the modders grindset

[silent anchor]

personally id like to see sell red weapons but for pennies on the dollar. I hate having to do this mass drop at random points. More of a way to get rid of it rather than making money from the broken weapons

[meager crag]

Fallout do B that kind of game which you have to mod to at least make it interesting lmfao

[gloomy nebula]

guys does anyone know what to do if the poppy field quest is being really buggy and wont progress?

[carmine jackal]

$20 Night Vision DLC confirmed. true quality, it actually makes everthing darker

[glass falcon]

how do i do that

[obtuse canopy]

you aint touched arma 3 have you buddy?

[meager crag]

Correct, why should I?

[long relic]

If you so much as look at arma the wrong way, it takes 500 gigs of your storage space

[errant ocean]

Well.....I guess that's the end of my S2 playing....I really don't want to restart....I'm....I'm unbelievably gutted. This is the only
Major bug I've had, no crashing, no lag.....I'm gutted...

[fierce nexus]

Hey, how does one become a mod? Is it like... an application thing like with helpers? Just curious lol

[mossy helm]

windows settings -> system -> display (scroll down to the very bottom) -> graphics settins -> turn on gpu hardware acceleration

[meager crag]

Don't worry bro, take a rest and return to it later. Hopefully with the patches, it'll be more stable

[sharp flame]

wait for some patches, then resstarting wont feel bad, i will be when alife is properly working

[lean reef]

yeah i my 45 hours of playtime i just had my first crash

[vestal fable]

stalker 2 gameplay feels like what ultra modded fallout 4 wants to be

[meager crag]

Well, first of all, you have to send us a ton of cute and silly cat pics/vids

[oak acorn]

Where's that at

[warped slate]

Dude Gamepass version feels absolutely horrible compared to the Steam version.

[obtuse canopy]

no shit its pc gamepass use yah head

[lament smelt]

No issue for me

[hot basin]

If the game wanted to be more hardcore why couldn’t we at least be able to fix guns our selves at a workbench or not make every gun made of plastic

[fierce nexus]

Yooo, I got those for days

[storm token]

||Yo wtf... is pripyat locked?? Storybound????||

[errant ocean]

HOLY FLAPJACKING STRELOK FUCC I THINK I GOT A SAVE TO LOAD HAHAHAHAHAHAHA F YOU MONOLITH SUCK MY BAKLAVA!!!! IM BACK IN BOYS

we heard you love the A-life and night vision DLC. introducing ||$40 BINOCULARS DLC! ||

[keen parrot]

Yeah no binoculars is so weird!!!!!

[meager crag]

Not. Enough.

[long relic]

Back to gamma we go

[sharp flame]

i read that as catboy pics/vids 😂

[meager crag]

I personally do NOT accept those

[flint plover]

Are we ever gonna be able to disable Ray Tracing?? I haven't played ONE game yet that it changes enough to be worth the performance hit! I literally hate Ray Tracing...

[weary hedge]

I made a cursed gun a 45 acp mp5 thx stalker

[fierce nexus]

Better?

[meager crag]

However, you CAN spam General Rahmi's DMs with those

[glass falcon]

damn my shit was already enabled

[meager crag]

Not. Enough.

[terse bluff]

Guys I don’t have an option of talking with freedom technician guy for installing suppressor (main quest). What can I do with it?

[normal sail]

closest you/re gonna get to the mp5/10

[coarse vector]

feels like metro exodus enhanced to me tbh, all the "enhanced edition" does is keep ray tracing on and not let you turn it off and stalker 2 kinda does the exact same :( atleast let us disable raytraced shadows or something like cyberpunk does

[sharp flame]

ask nvidia, their gpus now are literally built with ray tracing cores specifically for it

[scarlet brook]

possible spoilers but nothing mayor ||in the mission "Just like the good old days" i cant seem to enter Lodochka's lab even though the mission requires me to, the door simply wont open||

[carmine jackal]

the 2 season pass stories are all about acquiring binoculars and night vision

[fierce nexus]

I could make a wall of kitteh, but that would probably spam

[lament smelt]

Even path tracing in cyberpunk 2077 ?

[meager crag]

That's what DMs are for, you fool

[knotty dune]

If i put on a freedom suit, will that make duty attack me?

Classic door not opening bug

[fringe mist]

I dont know if anyone else gets this problem but is anyone else having the problem that when you die and click load last save it just does not load last save

[meager crag]

Pretty sure it doesn't

[neon sigil]

How is the game more hardcore if you can fix gun yourself? Skiff is not a technician, how can he know how to fix a gun?

[fierce nexus]

Oh true

[scarlet brook]

Restarting my game doesnt even fix it 💔

[carmine jackal]

always turn raytracing off. it sucks

[lament smelt]

For you dont claim for everyone ?

[glass falcon]

he knows how to dissassemble and re-assemble an ak easy, he clearly has military experience, maybe ur actin like a dummy for the sake of acting like a dummy but the difficulty is clearly artificial

[hot basin]

If he can put a gun back together he can find good parts and swap them out but honestly I realized that your comment had nothing to do with a mod like that

[coarse vector]

btw does turning off raytracing in stalker 2's ue5 ini files actually affect anything? cuz apparently most of the lighting is raytraced in S2

[lavish sierra]

Does anyone think that missing faction features might be added in like an actual expansion

[jolly geyser]

Far as i can tell Stalker 2 has 0 females too its the Bro zone

[blissful ember]

holy
enemies in exos are so tanky even with headshots unless you're using something with high damage

[carmine jackal]

just for you. i claim for you

[topaz crane]

i dont know if the game is bugged or if theres something i dont understand but when u get to Zaton, an emission comes, but then I try to take shelter but all the doors are locked. even the NPCS cant take shelter.. what do i do? :S

[zinc dagger]

skif is a soldier and gun maintenance is literally standard training im not even a soldier and i know this. he'd know his pistol and at least an ak rifle in and out by this point

[final trout]

Bro this game, I can't put upgrades onto my rifle now

[winter geyser]

but doesn't RTX bros get an RTX for RT???

[halcyon tusk]

does anyone know why my fps drop from 110 to 60?

[short arch]

Dogs.. how'd you to think there are so many? They don't clone themselves..you said females, not women.

[fringe mist]

Why does my game just not load

[mossy helm]

sorry to hear that mate 😦 check if you have dlss frame gen possible to turn on, if yes turn off fsr and turn frame gen on. or both on. not sure about this combination but definitely try dlss frame gen on

[jolly geyser]

oh well it does make sense this way

[glass falcon]

my game actually runs super fine for some time, like 50-80, and then a memory leak happens and i gotta restart the game

[compact rose]

Will installing a performance mod get rid of achievements?

[carmine jackal]

been to cordon yet? sidorovich has changed 💋

[strong sequoia]

Possibly - but its unknown how currently unsupported mods will affect future updates due next week.

[dapper cliff]

how do you rate the game so far guys? it is 7/10 for me

[mossy helm]

ah yeah that will be fixed in the patches too. im pretty sure this will happen to me too later on in my gameplay with these new settings turned on. i dont think that we can do anything about memory leak at this point then.

[fierce nexus]

I found a couple so far

[violet pumice]

Hello guys, I need help, im really need help in the game, it's about the mission frequency dead.

I'm just praying for a refund from steam. I know I won't get it. I have ten hours in the game. It's just not for me.

[fringe mist]

Nah i mean i die then i reload my game and it wont let me have the option to press a key to play

[glass falcon]

gimme it :3

[sharp geyser]

What does a green icon mean I'm at a trader and the icon on the pda is green can anyone tell me why that is or what it means

[summer burrow]

Probably allied

[wheat orchid]

Economy so shit it incentivizes using pistols/cheap weapons and to not upgrade them to have at least some money. Not even fixing my armor anymore, just relying on the artefacts I have equipped for protection.

[jolly geyser]

tried to press ESC? i mean i had similar experience once after a reload, could not do shit until i pressed esc, then somehow it worked.
@sharp geyser probably that he is allied and maybe sells you items for a better price

[final trout]

Sick I literally cannot use the rifle I paid money for. Doooope

no bad words

[short arch]

What rifle and why?

[river galleon]

Anyone else having a bug with the zalissya defense?

[warped slate]

Well I gave it ten hours because a game like this usually opens up after the two hour deadline Steam gives you. It just didn't capture me.

[hot crown]

If anybody gets the bug on the Main Mission “A Minor Incident” and you talk to Richter and it doesn’t update you to the next step then load to a save before you talked to him and follow these steps.

Consider giving it a like and subscribing if it helped you, will be posting a Series of Stalker 2 playing on VETERAN only using Skif’s Pistol soon!

[final trout]

I was exaggerating a bit but I just cant put any attachments on the SA U Gabion. The rail mount you can buy just does not work and I have to use the terrible iron sights

[warped slate]

Overall, Stalker: GAMMA is more my speed and that's ok. Stalker 2 is not for everyone and I'm sure people are loving it. I just don't see it yet.

[coral harbor]

no optimisation this coming update 👍 nice

[turbid hull]

love that for us ❤️

[upbeat jackal]

I mean this with no disrespect or anything, I understand you have your own tastes, but it is just that while Gamma is pretty good, I wouldn’t put the expectations of a modpack on Stalker 2. I do understand you though cause rn with all the issues w alife, i bet if it was fully there right now, i would be loving it a lot more and same with you. I’m still enjoying it rn though

[warped slate]

Name a more iconic dou than UE5 and stuttering. I'll wait...

[strong sequoia]

I mean I would love 90 fps but I can live with 65...

[sour rampart]

Zero stuttering on non-toaster pc's though 😉

[coral harbor]

i can live with my 60fps, but i cant live with the terrible input lag.

[summer burrow]

X-Ray and BSODs (though agreed that UE5 often has a lot of stuttering on low-medium end PCs)

[waxen skiff]

I don’t have any stuttering on Xbox

[versed sage]

is the ar better than ak? which one should i upgrade?

[peak plover]

are there NVG's in the game at this point?

[short arch]

No

[warped slate]

Can someone please tell Jay Leno to stop what he is doing already? It wasn't bad enough he was burnt badly now he fell down a 60-Foot Hill. He looks mangeled.

[strong sequoia]

I disabled mouse smoothing and it helped for me - nexus mods has line command. Perhaps it will help you also with the input lag. Its not a perfect work around - but it did help me.

[summer burrow]

Next he'll fall down a hill into a burner anomaly

[vestal fable]

https://tenor.com/view/mouth-water-throw-drink-gif-16856579

[coral harbor]

Man is it just me or the graphics in this game are not worth the terrible optimisation. Like GAMMA runs 5 times smoother, and tbh ... looks much better, am I crazy?

[waxen skiff]

The ak alone on the fact that everyone and their mother carries ammo for it

[swift pecan]

grokitach is already modding stalker 2 so who knows we might get stalker 2 gamma LOL
UE5 is definitely more moddable than the X-ray engine as well

[ebon sand]

Blame the engine, UE5 is honestly just an incredibly bad engine.

[red summit]

I pray and hope

[nova siren]

Anyone else find on xbox trying to make fine aim adjustments the reticle moves in a square instead of a circle? Cyberpunk 2077 also had this issue on console. Response curve issue? I only see this issue in games that have linear response curves, I would much rather use an exponential response curve.

[peak plover]

wow, surprising ngl
hoping a mod or the base game gets nvgs at some point
also FSR framed gen gave me no latency compared to horrific latency on DLSS frame gen
this game definitely looks better, the main issue here is Lumen and Nanite, Lumen is a great technology but poorly optimized, and Nanite runs poorly with foliage, because they are transparent images usually, nanite likes lots of geometry to optimize instead, transparency (aka forests) is really hard to compute

[nocturne gull]

not any time soon Grok said he isnt even done with gamma and has a estimated stalker 2 gamma in 2077 his words exactly

[bleak mantle]

what do we think of the patch coming out in a few days?

[upbeat jackal]

honestly the farthest i wanna see for gamma on stalker 2 is mainly just a little bit of grind for repairing but not too hard. i do enjoy it but id rather keep gamma on anomaly, its still good as it is, xray has charm and id rather see progress done on it instead

[coral harbor]

nah I blame the devs, they ruined quite literally everything.

Ward, Spark, Wtf is this, The OG factions are completely neglected and made look silly.
English voice acting is a joke, no memorable characters.
No gas mask ui, no breathing noise, immersion = 0.
Terrible outdated gun upgrade system,
Blah blah

[swift pecan]

I would rather have him keep working on the OG gamma truthfully

[strong sequoia]

As Ren and Stimpy once said - "its better than bad - its good"!

[warped slate]

To be honest it feels like GSC did the bare minimum for this game. This feels more like a Stalker spin off that focuses more on story. It's just missing the feel of the original.

[summer burrow]

Imagine playing STALKER with its "You shouldn't have come here Stalker, now you'll be worm food" and "SPEEL DE BEENZ" for its English voice acting

[silk falcon]

Huh. I feel like the game is mostly fine and feels like the og games. My only complaint is the weird spawning system.

[ebon sand]

English voice acting
Lol imagine using English VA + The original trilogy English VA was not very good either (although very charming!)
Gas mask ui, breathing noises
That was never in vanilla Stalker. Those features are from mods.

[peak plover]

the problem is they did what I do with hobby projects, they kept updating to new versions of unreal over a decade, and that means everything breaks. then new tech comes out and they learn that. they just kept adding in new technology that made it look very pretty, but therefore programming systems like A-Life and optimization goes in the shitter. Since its released, im guessing that the game will be much more focused on fixing existing bugs rather than injecting new tech

[raven tulip]

The original focused on story so did alot of mods it's just gamma and anomaly didnt

[coral harbor]

i'd use UKRo voice but theres no subtitles for open world talking, just missions and story talking, so i miss out on random dialogue sadly.

@summer burrow I dont have subtitels for them, wtf is this garbage slow mode

[bleak mantle]

voice acting is subpar. but i've heard worse.

[summer burrow]

I have subtitles for those?

[strange moon]

"just like good old days" quest broken?

[jolly geyser]

I bet Stalker 2 will have its own Gamma and Anomaly mods in the future too or similar to those

[whole sundial]

bro this is actually diabolical instead of making a quest item ur forced to have weigh nothing they decide to make the scanner 12kg and then give u Hercules in the same area because they know you'll be overweight

[upbeat jackal]

i reallt strongly believe its literally just the broken alife right now. i took a break for now, i bet it’ll feel much better once it’s fixed. also the originals were focused just as much on story, it was one of it’s main things

[swift pecan]

I think it's like halfway there, my main problem is that the world feels SUPER empty. I'm in ||wild island|| rn and there's just no npcs no A life stuff going on, just nothing. has anyone even experienced any of the classic A life random encounters from the old games? I have but very sparingly

[ebon sand]

Not true, I have subtitles for just about everything. Give it a shot man.

[silk falcon]

The Ukrainian VA for Skif is great.

[shadow dock]

lads, is there any way to prevent mousewheel from switching weapons, it is awful

[quartz crest]

does the game already have full suport for modding? is "anything" possible right now?

[coral harbor]

ok i will try again, but i started with UKRO and after having no subtitles for ambient conversations i got annoyed and switched back to eng

@shadow dock yes literally just unbind it

[strange moon]

"just like good old days" quest broken? cant open door in bunker

[summer burrow]

Do you have "Display Subtitles" enabled under Game settings?

(Good ol' slow mode, I was busy checking my settings and didn't see that the conversation continued)

[silk falcon]

And tbf the original stalker games were demanding on current systems and had a bunch of bugs.

[jolly geyser]

i really hope they will improve on A-life a lot, and not in a way like make npc s spawn further so we wont see the spawn like now, but actual simulation like where they are moving between zones and doing shit like in old Stalker

[covert tendon]

Agreed

[red summit]

Yeah thats true they need to do that

[swift pecan]

people have dug into the code and stuff and there is an A life director in the game but in actual experience it just doesn't feel right

[shadow dock]

what is the bind called? I searched the controls section and couldn't find anything mousewheel was bound to

[coral harbor]

@charred nova can we tone down this slow mode, im trying to have a conversation here

[quaint marsh]

Anyone had a problem entering ||Lodochka’s bunker|| after u got that thing from underground?

[bleak mantle]

hi

[jolly geyser]

im having fun but in some aspects it feels a bit "downgrade" compared to old stalker if i look at A-Life, but i have patience for getting a proper one

[silk falcon]

Enemies just spawn in and almost immediately detect me so I end up in huge drawn out gunbattles almost constantly it feels. Seems like I never see guys just wandering around doing stuff. Very sad.

[fickle basalt]

whatsup with ragman vs eugene vendor beef, do i get something for only buying/selling from ragman? in rostok

[swift pecan]

yeah I mean it's only gonna get better

[sinful seal]

Anyone had their game save completely wiped?

[frigid root]

Not sure where to write this so try here any clue if there is gauss gun In STalker 2 ?

[red summit]

Had anyone even finished tbr game?

[frigid hill]

jeruzalemisreal has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[wind wolf]

I think they need to load each area in separately, but add randomized patrols, fighting, etc so that the zone feels more lively without impacting performance too much

[nocturne gull]

likewise, gamma is the closest thing to the perfect hardcore survival game in my opinion

[coral harbor]

i just wish it didnt crash so much

[odd sinew]

Guys do I side with Dubny or do I side with the ward??

[shadow sage]

what technicians can actually upgrade stuff?

[cobalt fiber]

Can't wait for a few months to fly by and this discord is actually positive not just constant negativity

[mild sluice]

GAMMA is mid, just play SPT

[bleak mantle]

whats everyone having for dinner?

[fierce nexus]

[silk falcon]

Bread and sausage.

[fringe mist]

I think my issue it something to do with the mission itself but i dont know what the mission is called to know if an yone else has the problem

[zealous nova]

Hamburger Helper

[strange otter]

Homemade spaghetti

[stark crescent]

they really upgraded that freaking psychic gremlin real good havnt they? not only did it pull my gun away from me, it then used that gun to freaking murder the hell out of me!

[jolly geyser]

sausage with some bread and radioactive beer

[red summit]

Im havint some stalker 2 for dinner

[swift pecan]

if you think this is bad you should see the reddit LOL
bunch of people complaining about the game not being a 1:1 anomaly remaster

[frigid root]

Happend to me whe i wanted to try rpg

[nocturne plume]

Man, this game is so good… when it works. I just want the A-life working. Right now the map just feels so lonely - enemy spawns or A-life not being touched in the upcoming update is horrid.

[ebon sand]

This :D #💬┃en_offtop message

[long relic]

Yep quite a few already including myself

[worldly wasp]

would be nice if defend zalissya wasnt broken.

[jolly geyser]

ngl i was surprised that i was able to walk through most of Garbage zone towards and objective w/o meeting anyone , except the guy that i had to save from an anomaly zone

[silk falcon]

Not even close to finishing the game. Been just exploring and scavenging.

[prime socket]

why when i come to icarus base (just scouting backwater loc) i have ward badge in my inventory but soldier tells me to turn away like i cant check their base even tho this badge gives u authority to give commands lol, maybe add option to show it to them so they will allow me to see their base?

should i just kill them all? will it mess with the game progress later?

[mild sluice]

It actually bothers me so much how GAMMA has brainwashed people into thinking STALKER was this hardcore survival milsim lmao

[sand niche]

102 mods on nexus in 3 days is insane mods will fix the game and add any missing features people need this game is gunna be crazy modded

[hollow yoke]

i went to the southwest of the map to get journalist stash. I keep getting 1 shot by a sniper, through walls?

[dense quartz]

Git gud

[ebon sand]

TRUE! It's infuriating to me lol. I'm honestly so glad GSC made an actual S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game and not GAMMA 2.

[nocturne plume]

This is the thing - we’re not playing stalker the way it was intended… this feels like a proof of concept. But the meat and potatoes just aren’t cooked.

[jolly geyser]

i would say Anomaly is lot closer to true Stalker, just a bit harder. Gamma is great too but i prefer Anomaly

[long relic]

I had to turn on gpu hardware acceleration and overclock my ram to stop stuttering

[bleak mantle]

in game dinner of course.

[grave pilot]

Main mission's there, for some reason they didn't expect people would y'know, actually explore in a stalker game and go where they're not supposed to be

[sand niche]

I have went way out the path of quests and found ammo and armor and guns to help speed thru the quests exploration of this zone is fun the little parkour you gotta do to get to certain things

[boreal field]

Any mention of performance improvements? There was no info about this in the next week's patch log.

[coral harbor]

nope nothing

[nocturne plume]

They’re not even fixing the dead zone issue for controller… the game is currently unplayable on controller due to bizarre stick drift

[cobalt fiber]

Not even close and just the way I like it. I imagine it will take me (and a lot of us) a while whilst we explore the zone, discover the POIs per region, find all the stashes, side missions, etc.

I personally am a completionist so feel the need to explore everything each region has to offer

[red summit]

Same

[silk falcon]

I just like walking the fields and abandoned buildings. Selling artifacts and hiding from emissions.

[mild sluice]

Yeah same here, I've had to remind people every day since release that it isn't GAMMA and Stalker has never had a lot of the features introduced in that bloated mod pack.

Also the lore is horrible

[whole sundial]

fr thats how I feel Im 25 hours in and im not the farthest idk how ppl spend 60-140+ dollars on a game and only rush the main quest just feels wrong

[short arch]

Thank god we have true stalkers still out there.

[ocean surge]

Will there be a GAMMA mod for Stalker 2 (Xbox and PC)?

[ionic ice]

Exactly

[bleak mantle]

why do so many creatures have special abilities like invisibility or shadow clones when it takes a ton of bullets to kill things, but creatures drop nothing and not enough ammo around.

[silk falcon]

Use the proper ammo to kill easier.

[mild sluice]

Such is life in the Zone.

[limber kraken]

What about stutter in prologue ?

[weary hedge]

im really sick of being spotted from behind terrain

[red summit]

The thing is stalker is stalker and stalker gamma is stalker gamma. I love both. People should just be patient and proud we now have stalker 2 as a platform for upcoming mods and maybe some mods like gamma or anomaly. Either way the game needs some correction(nothing that cant be fixed) and some love and patience

[warped slate]

The Anamoly modders are waiting for the SDK of A-Life to release before they start working on Anamoly 2.

[weary hedge]

can i drop or sell the PDAs with no tik mark on their top? ow will i lose the stash mark on map?

[grave pilot]

I just pop them into the personal stash

[queen oracle]

the SPAS is the solution for bloodsuckers lmao. rips them to pieces

[cobalt fiber]

I've not even gone to Garbage yet, I've ticked everything off in the lesser zone and went to Cordon but I've been doing a bit of artifact hunting/selling too. I only even considered heading to the sphere today

Granted I only get about 4~ hours per day now I've got kids, but I'll still take it as slow as possible

[vocal tartan]

i have to agree on that one, i don't see stalkers going on missions, anomalies etc, the military camp in the lesser zone was almost empty when i got in, now it's swarming me with double waves of men simulating a camp on alert, but it just feels like a wave right this minute... not exactly what i signed up for tbh

[bleak mantle]

combat is unbalanced

[next plaza]

wats the point of recreating all the areas in Stalker 1 if the devs didnt put any enemies anywhere and the locations are all completely empty

[radiant mirage]

nice game crashes when i go to load my save

[frigid root]

Oh this is about to start emmisoin here but how did you guys reacted to our new 3 females in stalker?

[grand tide]

I heard no

[errant shell]

Cheaseborgir. I’ve just found that reloading the game every time you return to base is a decent way to prevent the game from eventually lagging out to the point where you can’t save.

[visual shadow]

Someone Know how upgrade the exoskeleton to make it run?

[mild sluice]

No one gives a shit tbh

[thorny ibex]

Can you run in a exoskeleton?

[frigid root]

Sadly you cant atm maybe mods will fix it

[bleak mantle]

why run, when you can shoot

[mild sluice]

Nope, just like in Shadow of Chernobyl.

It's the main drawback of such a powerful suit and would ruin its balance.

[long relic]

Yes you can @thorny ibex the deluxe exosuit has a sprint modification you can upgrade at a tech
How have none of you found it yet lmao

[alpine swallow]

Is it just me or does it feel like the game hasnt enough different guns ?

[visual shadow]

Wort

[ebon sand]

More guns will appear later.

[sand niche]

Stalker always had limited guns anomaly and gamma brought a bunch of none lore guns in

[next plaza]

is the map super empty for everyone else even poi

[ionic ice]

tehyre woriking on it

[queen oracle]

A-Life 0.2

[mortal sparrow]

The black border on top and bottom are they removeable?
im seeing this as im starting the game

[mild sluice]

Only the deluxe edition has this upgrade? Wtf

[red summit]

The pdas i have can i sell them to any trader or anything? Or is that just my stalker gamma self speaking?

[silk falcon]

Common guns makes sense. What's the point of bringing some obscure weapon with unobtainable ammunition and no repair parts?

[alpine swallow]

Hahah well then I have to wait for the mods I guess xD

[long relic]

Its called the Liberty exosuit and it can be upgraded to sprint

[warped slate]

It's kind of crazy how your edition bonuses are placed in the world and you're forced to go get them lol.

[frigid root]

Deluxe there is other Exo than currias?

[summer burrow]

Next we'll get people upset that it's not STALKER Soup

[sand niche]

Bulmat armor is a go too it’s in army warehouses west of zalyiassa

[mild sluice]

Okay that's a genuine gameplay advantage, that's absolutely insane you can get the upgrade on the deluxe edition exo but not others.

[mossy egret]

it would be annoying and immersion breaking if you started off massively overencumbered with payware. they did a good job integrating it into the world

[austere grail]

THIS

[ionic ice]

Youre crouching

[long relic]

And people wonder why im critical of this game

[nocturne plume]

It’s a tremendous bummer

[mortal sparrow]

im not

[frigid root]

Soo how many exosouits you can get i only found the one in cooling tower area and that one cant be made to sprint.

[summer burrow]

What resolution are you playing on?

[velvet edge]

hello where can i get technical help for stalker 2

[mild sluice]

I hope someone mods the feature in, then. Absolutely crazy shit.

[ionic ice]

What is the "Deluxe exosuit?"

[mortal sparrow]

2560x1440

[nocturne plume]

I honestly don’t believe it was ever ready, I don’t think that it’s “bugged” but that they never had it running. I wouldn’t expect this for another month… maybe more.

[long relic]

Deluxe edition aka PAID

[summer burrow]

Wait by intro do you mean that first introduction sequence thing it does with Hermann driving around? That one has black bars for me, too, I'm not sure if it's a pre-rendered cutscene but I don't think it is?

[prime socket]

tbh thats what i expected. better they wouldve taken 1-2 more years to develop but actually make the game explorable and not just linear mission doing without being able to explore and interact how u want

i just killed them all anyway coz i can

[austere grail]

wait so u mean, that any exosuit in-game in standard edition, doesn't have any options to make it possible to run with it? only deluxe edition????

[long relic]

Im not 100% on this, but all the standard exosuits ive come across dont have it
@mortal sparrow its a bug, i play on 3440x1440 and the fov is screwed up horizontally

[dry raft]

Is the lynx stat screen bugged, or does it seriously have worse range than a viper-5?

[warped slate]

Or they could just put it in your stash like any other normal game does.

[summer burrow]

Doing a google it says that there's one called the Liberty Exosuit that does have an upgrade, I'm not sure if that's the deluxe one though

[frigid hill]

woras has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[harsh jungle]

just experienced my first crash while playing yay

[nocturne gull]

also the way they did it means your not overpowered at the start of the game thats no fun...

[mild sluice]

Okay, Jackie is fortunately incorrect. You can have the Freedom exoskeleton sprint. Thank God.

[mossy egret]

stash has limited space, also that’s still annoying and immersion breaking. stalker isn’t any other game. i’d rather have them stashed around the map in storage for me to pick up at my leisure

[warped slate]

The items I found honestly weren't too great although I didn't find them all. Like ugly blue camoed pistol and shotgun.

[rustic willow]

It's there on the map though 😦

[prime socket]

will they fix this u think?

[summer burrow]

Is that the Liberty one?

[dark mist]

Does anyone have the same issue:
Neverending loading screen!!

[long relic]

Oh thank goodness

[nocturne gull]

yeah but the riemann shreds and the ssp-100M sirca is a pretty nice early to mid game armor

[grand tide]

Yea you can see it from a far but getting close to it will grant u an overload of radiation which will kill you instantly

[mild sluice]

Stash space is unlimited.

[prime socket]

but still i can take mission from beard

[misty sonnet]

I'm guessing there is no way around the Holo sight reticle moving around weirdly with frame gen? Same with the laser attachment starts ghosting like crazy

[rustic willow]

I'm so distraught

[summer maple]

Anyone been at the ||Limansk bridge|| yet? Thinking DLC tease :D

[warped slate]

We have to wait a week for a patch that doesn't even address performance or A-life.

[long relic]

OR the controller deadzone which makes playing on xbox impossible

[wheat orchid]

Okay, no wonder economy sucks. Here's what changes from Stalker to Veteran in regards to Money:

1. You get paid 25% less.
2. Your repair costs are 25% higher.
3. Your sell prices are TWICE AS LOW (WHAT THE HELL)

[dark mist]

!!!

[dire tide]

Anyone knows what's up with parts of the map covered by clouds on PDA? The ones surrounding CNPP itself that is.

[grand tide]

Same bro same

[summer burrow]

The permanent hobo phase

[mossy egret]

well i must’ve encountered a bug. either way it kills my immersion when i start a game with a ton of loot. the fun of stalker is working around the difficulty and limits and overcoming/progressing. it’s not fallout. kind of defeats the purpose to start with a ton of weapons

[rustic willow]

Future dlc maybe, apparently you can't go to the CNPP atm

[warped willow]

I'm at the SIRCAA Institute but this is so confusing why does it seem like I'm the bad guy? Was it some choice I made or something? And apparently me fighting the Ward was an illusion but my armor/weapons are still damaged and medkits used

[blissful ember]

says who

[warped slate]

I'm telling you it doesn't bother me that the patch doesn't even address the huge issues. What terrifies me is that GSC decided to take the weekend of their game releasing off. That's a huge red flag for me. It shows the lack of dedication and commitment towards the game and it's problems. It's like they're saying "We've had these problems since we started creating S2 let's just come back next week they're not getting fixed."

[mild sluice]

Yes

[sacred oyster]

question I bought the base game and have decided to upgrade but it seems to be wanting me to pay full price for the upgrade on steam.

[dire tide]

Ah I was expecting that answer though I hoped I'm wrong on that one

[weary hedge]

I found a military suit on a dead guy in full condition that i shot in the face with my viper 5 in the lesser zone before leaving it i am so lucky

[grand tide]

Well that’s a guess but I have read the lore of stalker yesterday and apparently the cnpp is not accessible anymore so yea don’t put to much hope on that tho

[stark crescent]

i found a vss vintaris early on in the game. only to find out not a single trader nearby had ammo for it XD

[spare latch]

im in a ||infinite emission|| is this normal?

[rustic willow]

I keep asking and everyone says you cant

[summer burrow]

Someone else earlier was talking about being in one, might be a bug

[warped slate]

Also, None of my decisions are changing the way of life or biome of the zone. What's the point of the story and quests if nothing is effecting the zone>

[hollow sluice]

What do you do with all the PDAs you find?

[dry cipher]

yo can you re enter the old project X labs thi ?

[mortal sparrow]

ty bro

[grand tide]

There is one thing I just don’t understand at all is that before the game came out ( like few days before ) there was an faq where one guy asked if u could enter the cnpp and a developer replied with ( you can try) so idk why they would lie to us instead of just saying ( no you can’t )

[rustic willow]

Why have a fog of war over the area if you can't access it, makes zero sense.

[dire tide]

Spoiler but ||you visit X18 during the main storyline fairly early on. There's a bloodsucker and a roaming electric anomaly inside.||

[lost portal]

is the goldfish artifact worth it?

[dry cipher]

can you enter the other ones tho ?

[grand tide]

Yeah maybe Ure right and it will be added in an dlc but that’s still disappointing that we have to wait months now till we can see the cnpp

[vital granite]

Uh... unsure what I did but i just had 3 mark 1 emrs just spawn into my inventory XD

[dense flame]

much more

[rustic willow]

I just want to know what happened to the wish granter

[stark crescent]

restarting hte game should work. the game seems to work in sessions. bugs as well. just restart the game if it acts buggy. so far, i had bugs with sound clipping. an endless emission. it seems to fix itself whenever i restart the game.

[ocean surge]

I just want them to add the option to repair your own weapons

[dire tide]

No clue as of yet since I'm stuck with the MQ bugged and to explore some more I'd need to reload a save from hours back, with my only other option being to reload it from the point where ||I've got the sensor back and I don't feel like dragging 12 kilos of dead weight with me everywhere I go||

[grand tide]

I think it’s still there

[dry cipher]

yeah if everything is *** i recommend downloading ue devtools

[austere grail]

There was performance mentioned wdym

[warped slate]

Nuh uh

[mossy egret]

the weird thing is they said they won’t fix controller deadzone until the patch after this one. seems like it’d be simple and a priority

[dire tide]

Sounds good but given my experience with the OTHER open world making company (Bethesda) I'm afraid using console commands might work temporarily only for stuff to break again once patch comes out.
Been there, done that with Skyrim and F4 both.

[dry cipher]

helped me fixing 2 missions but i got youre point

[quartz crest]

campaign spoiler, ||is "noon" former monolith people?||

[rustic willow]

Yuh

[dire tide]

||Yes||

[terse bluff]

Love optimisation of this game. 15fps on fight with ||Faust|| is wild

[narrow kite]

Anyone found the ultimate edition Ward Exo yet and know its location?

[queen oracle]

lodochkas door not opening is so cool. soft locks in games are sooo awesome

[carmine jackal]

200k coupons

[warped slate]

I had a door in the first safe zone open for me and then when I went to leave it shut on me and locked me in the house. I had to reload a save to get out.

[narrow kite]

At papa Sid??

[austere grail]

Memory leak fix doesn't tell you anything, huh

[cedar stag]

does anyone know if theres a way to enable a third person camera? i wanna see what some items look like in use, but havent found a command yet

[spare latch]

how do get ||trapper|| to talk to you

[warped slate]

Wait, you can't seriously think memory leaks are 100% of the issues right? I guess forced Ray Tracing and Lumina are nothing to worry about. Or the extreme input lag and messed up sensitivity settings they have in the game for controllers and mouse. Or the pop in and out LOD.

[flint plover]

Can smoeone give me some advice on ordering a new GPU? What would be better an RTX 4060 8GB or RTX 3060 12GB??

[mossy egret]

nobody said it was but it will improve performance

[cedar stag]

#📰┃announcement message

"Issues and memory allocation failures particularly around rendering, skeletal meshes, and quest-related cutscenes"

"A-Life system bugfixes."

[austere grail]

Forced ray tracing? How, if the game is literally made with a scalable preset?

[warped slate]

You're being decietful. A-Life fixes aren't coming in next weeks patch. Stop it.

[silk falcon]

Aww. I fell for it.

[grand tide]

3060 I would say cause 8GB ram for GPU is low nowadays

[carmine jackal]

5090

[sharp flame]

so i just found sidorovich an man, the zone did not do him any favours... yikes he looks old now lol

[cedar stag]

next week patch is a future update tho isnt it?
So id argue that there might be some fixes for blatant issues in A-Life system. Not a total fix but something to prevent you being caught in a spawn-loop of dogs or tushkano fro example

[river tide]

I asked chatgpt for you:

Choosing between the RTX 4060 (8GB) and RTX 3060 (12GB) depends on your specific needs and how you plan to use the GPU. Here's a breakdown of factors to consider:

---

1. Performance (Raw Power and Efficiency)

RTX 4060:

Built on NVIDIA’s Ada Lovelace architecture, offering better performance per watt and more advanced features (e.g., DLSS 3 and Frame Generation).

Faster clock speeds and improved efficiency make it better for 1080p gaming at high frame rates.

Better ray tracing performance compared to the 3060.

Lower power consumption (115W vs. 170W for the 3060).

RTX 3060:

Based on the older Ampere architecture. While still powerful, it is less efficient.

Slightly slower performance in most modern games compared to the RTX 4060.

Has 12GB VRAM, which can be a big advantage for certain workloads (e.g., games requiring higher VRAM or professional tasks like 3D rendering).

---

2. VRAM (Video Memory)

RTX 4060 (8GB):

8GB VRAM can be limiting for modern games at higher resolutions (1440p or 4K) or when using high-resolution texture packs.

May struggle in some future titles that are more VRAM-intensive.

RTX 3060 (12GB):

The extra 4GB of VRAM is beneficial for:

Games with larger texture packs or mods.

Professional tasks like video editing, 3D modeling, or AI/ML workloads.

1440p gaming or higher.

---

3. Price

Compare the price difference.

The RTX 4060 is generally newer and slightly more expensive than the RTX 3060.

If the price gap is significant and you value more VRAM over efficiency, the RTX 3060 might be the better deal.

---

4. Future-Proofing

RTX 4060:

Support for DLSS 3 and Frame Generation makes it more future-proof for games adopting these technologies.

More power-efficient design ensures it stays relevant longer.

RTX 3060:

While it has more VRAM, it lacks DLSS 3 and Ada Lovelace-specific enhancements, meaning it may show its age sooner in newer titles.

---

5. Use Case Scenarios

Choose the RTX 4060 if:

You primarily game at 1080p with high frame rates.

You value efficiency, lower power draw, and the latest features (DLSS 3, better ray tracing).

You’re looking for future-proofing in new titles.

Choose the RTX 3060 if:

You need more VRAM for productivity tasks or gaming with high texture settings.

You want a GPU for higher resolution gaming (1440p).

The price difference is significant.

---

Recommendation

For pure gaming: RTX 4060 is the better option for modern titles, especially at 1080p.

For mixed-use or VRAM-heavy tasks: RTX 3060 may be a better value due to its 12GB VRAM.

Would you like help comparing prices or alternatives like AMD cards?

[summer burrow]

Jesus, entire chat just got wiped out

[crystal matrix]

Does anyone know why they removed mutant looting?

[dire tide]

Did-orovich

[burnt gust]

spoiler:
|| apparently, the big grav anomaly in rostok is a portal that teleports you just south of the hydroelectric station ||

[warped slate]

Noted to be addressed in future updates:

Analogue sticks dead zones bugfixes.
A-Life system bugfixes.
Nice try.

[violet pumice]

Mutant looting? I never see that option in the game 🤔

[grand tide]

Ye in case for stalker I think u need bigger ram on gpu that’s why I told him to take the 3060 instead of the 8GB 4060

[stark crescent]

when comparing the 2, the rtx 4060 with less memory, would still be the better choice. due to more tensor cores, it makes better use of dlss, which boosts fps more.

[carmine jackal]

radius of radial spawn 2.0 increased

[kind quartz]

mutant looting wasnt in call of pripyat. while the question is interesting, the answer is probably something mundane like having no real depth to it

[river tide]

I would agree ye, 4060 better imo

I recently upgraded from a rtx 3060 to a 4070ti super - no regrets

[summer burrow]

Because it was never really a thing beyond an extremely basic feature in Shadow of Chernobyl, mods fleshed it out and added it to the other titles

[acoustic leaf]

Wasn't really a thing, mutants in SoC would drop some healing supplies but that's it. In clear sky and CoP it wasn't a thing

[cedar stag]

it was keypart of previous titles for quests and also was a great immersion tool to scavenge for mutant parts to sell to the eggheads or even hunt them to cook meals that gave u various buffs(depending what version or mod u played that was more or less fleshed out)

[vernal crescent]

Hey guys anyone got a fix for the random tanks in fps? I'll be sitting at around 100 frames and then suddenly the whole game will look terrible, input will lag and the fps goes to around 30

[warped slate]

This is literally Cyberpunk 2077 all over again. This game won't be what we were promised for a solid 8 months. It is what it is. Just temper your expectations.

[jaunty sparrow]

[crystal matrix]

It really should be in game, it makes you hunt for some small game, big game whatever flesh or hide

[violet pumice]

Oh oh. Thanks for tell me bro. Hey, do you enter the Ícaro zone in the mission: Frecuency dead? Because, I need enter to get a suit psycho protection. And I don't know where I can find the ward badge permit 😭

[river tide]

Do you have the optimisation mod already?

Check nexus mods, rank by downloads

[covert mantle]

the cyberpunk situation and this situation are not the same at all lmao, need to stop comparing the two

[sterile pagoda]

I want a neuralink chip so badly

[grand tide]

Well if he plays 1080p yes and not Highest graphic settings

[summer burrow]

I agree that it should be a thing for those reasons, add some more missions revolving around it, it'd give you a reason to fight those mutant packs. Just that it wasn't really much of a thing in vanilla STALKER before

Yes. Yes they are. We were promised a sprawling Night City with intelligent AI crowds. It's A-life all over again. I went through it. It's exactly the same.

[alpine swallow]

What?!🤣

[faint charm]

has anyone else noticed how extremely hard it is to kill a bloodsucker?

[tardy wave]

gimmie dat a life boi

[carmine jackal]

1, 3, 10. everything else is cancer

[austere grail]

Low quality ragebait

[outer kite]

disagree, but if you think bloodsuckers are bad, wait till you meet a chimera

[crystal matrix]

Yeah, whenever i go past a mutant and cannot loot it, i feel like im playing some sort of pre alpha, this game has over 150gb, every stalker should be rewarded for being scared to death by a lurking bloodsucker and almost losing all of their ammunition for putting that bastard to sleep

[rich finch]

I sacrificed progress to reload a save prior to handing in the A Minor Incident quest because I am stuck in the bug where you cant progress the story, so I will have to wait until the patch

[solar hedge]

Any special loot I should look out for in X5? 👀

[cursive mesa]

[warped slate]

How is that ragebait sir? Or are you just chirping in without any substance because you want an argument? Cyberpunk 2077 was a performance mess when it launched. The AI were attrocious. We were promised intelligent police and law enforcement. Stalker 2 is a performance mess. We were promised intelligent life in the zone and unique engagements. I'll wait for your vanilla reply.

[river tide]

I just shot someone in a building and another AI in the room next to me starts shooting me through the walls.

I'm not sure if this is was a gigabrain AI or a bugged AI lmao

[faint charm]

oh god i don't even wanna think about that, just kinda thinking back to the older games and how it wasn't all that extreme to kill a singular bloodsucker.

[carmine jackal]

stalker 2: scam of farcrynobyl

[rich finch]

it seems to be a very common issue. i'd recommend doing what I did and just go do side content until they release the update that will fix the bug

@austere grail also you're the idiot posting ragebait because Mitosis is right. its just a shame that everyone fell for your low quality ragebait

[cedar stag]

But..... these were our expectations.
Nobody here expected a clean launch. Everyone knew we get bugs and crashes. Ppl didnt assume for Hardware Requirements to be that high - but thats as bad as it gets.
Ive seen ppl literally say that they dont care how lacking or shit the game might be as mods will eventually bring it up to Gamma or Anomaly standard given enough time.

You interact with probably the most dedicated and diehard community in gaming history here
People got a broken, unfinished game with bugs and errors and crashes in 2007, in 2008 and 2009 and yet here we are.
You could say we are the Monolith and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is our wishgranter.

[sharp flame]

this i kinda agree with, cyberpunk went from cyberjunk cyberjank to cyber not buggy mess... give devs time to roll out patches 🙂

[warped slate]

People are now acting like they knew A-life wasn't going to work LOL

[zealous shell]

hi there can i ask u something guys and i mean all of u

[carmine jackal]

zero performance updates in patch notes gsc patting themselves on the back lol

[fallow oracle]

They’re dogging on you but I think you’re right. I could forgive the bugs if A life worked

[dire tide]

Asking a question about whether you can ask a question is ironic but go ahead, plenty of people who might be able to help you out.

[rich finch]

it is reasonable to compare the game with Cyberpunk, there are issues. but I do not think the games nearly at the same level. The game mostly works and the gameplay is amazing when it vibes with you

[frigid hill]

jennyanastasiagg has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[last saddle]

this game i already know is a good game. and i havnt played more than 20 mins. im waiting to play til things are ironed out. but we cant just act like games coming out like this is just normal and ok cause itll just get worse as we keep trying to go for "better graphics"

[sharp flame]

re read em, there is a minor mention of it but still mentioned

[covert mantle]

waited 2 minutes to get wolfed LMAOOO

[warped slate]

Imagine coining a phrase like "A-life" Promoting it and hyping it up, and then you don't even have it working on launch. So much so that you remove any trace of it off of your store page because you don't want legal repercussions.

[zealous shell]

i would like you to tell me if my ideas what to add to this game could work. i sent it in questions but idk when they will answer. "I would like to ask could you add a night vision upgrade for helmets and scopes. i always loved to climb on high towers during night and snipe enemies from far. Plus it would allow me to stealth kill enemies during night cause right now its literally impossible cause not only i cant see them but they see me not only from huge distance even behind cover but darkness and night dont help at all cause they still see me as if they had night vision. I understand that you wanted to make this game more scarry but there is no reason to remove night vision and night scopes from zone if they were in past games, what more i thing they should be more advanced as it is 2022 in game about 10 years from last game story if im not mistaken. I love the new weapons u added but there could be some more weapons that appeared in past games like colt m1911 or beretta m92. I have even some ideas for new weapons that weren't introduced in any Stalker game like XM8 assault rifle, SR-25 DMR or P90 so i could sent more types of weapons if you decide to add them. The next thing could be adding possibility to cut mutants parts to sell or for quests like in past and it would be nice for some older artifacts to return like for example legendary oasis heart especially that this game includes all areas from all past games. The next thing i would change would be PDA map more specificaly dots on map that show squads of enemy stalkers in zone. It has sense cause on begining before scanner is stolen enemy say that he detects PDA. You could even add some options from very known mod for Stalker Call of Pripyat and im talking about Stalker Anomaly or Stalker Gamma. They added sleeping bags that allow to sleep in field or even added more melee weapons to choose and not only one knife which makes sense to upgrade from old used knife to something like karambit to increase melee combat capabilities. And the last thing. Would it be possible for you to hire polish lector ? I loved how in original trilogy with lector it was like watching movie. Im sure many polish players would love this type of “dubbing”."

Wow that's a lot of words
Too bad I'm not reading em

[cedar stag]

A-Life didnt work in SoC either tho. Offline wars and faction wars werent included until CS and even there it wasnt exactly as entertaining as you might remember it.
the crazy fun warfare and a-life simulating a living world was only later in modpacks like Anomaly, Gamma, CoC, Lost Alpha so entertainig and vivid.

Yes. people hoped for something more than a 20m exclusion zone and 150m entity zone around you but id say most here knew that A-Life will not be functioning smoothly at launch

[sharp flame]

i mean game will get fixed either by devs or modders.... also the magic rock is my cope

[warped slate]

Can we all agree that there needs to be a limit on the amount of text in each post? Also, paragraph structuring. This isn't to offend anyone but that made me want to inject Psy block directly into my neck.

[vocal tartan]

people really forget how the first stalker was at launch

[rich finch]

you're the one living on cope.
Performance updates are already expected its just a waste of time to detail them all. It would have been nice to have a mention but I dont think its needed since we should already expect them.

[dire tide]

Oh god, bracie, pojechałeś
That's not a question, that's an entire damn Research Document.
Your ideas COULD work but I feel like they've all been touched upon by other people in a more... concise manner.
We'll need to wait for the devs to start working on fixing the game first then we'll see what they plan to add if not via patch then maybe via DLC?

[sharp flame]

thats why the og stalkers lasted 10+ years with modders

[exotic trout]

How its possible that game comes out with this Bugs in zalissya, disgusting, developers for sure knew about this before release

[warped slate]

Apparently, GSC did as well.

[fallow oracle]

1 million copies sold. 90% of which are diehard consumers who expected A-life to be non functioning and performance to be abysmal. Lot of you new gen’s don’t remember the og trilogy. This is what we bought, this what we all wanted as consumers 🤓

[warped slate]

I love how these people have no more ideas to defend GSC's poor implementation or lack thereof of A-life so they're now saying they all knew it wasn't going to work like that makes it any better lmao. I've read it all.... you can't make this crap up.

[cedar stag]

You describe what you like about Anomaly and tahts fair, but thats again also just Anomaly. Stalker Vanilla never had that massive weapon variety. Mercs werent so crazy fleshed out, they were a sudo-outside force that would regularly fck you up and vanish as soon as they appeared in the vanilla games.
Vanilla never had that extensive consumable system and Vanilla stalker had NVG, but very rudimentary as Gen I green screen in ultra-blurry as if u were constantly drunk and genII blueish tinted but less fuzzy
You have to wait for Mods to add new content like that. I dont expect GSC to add such things. maybe NVG but also not as detailed as Anomaly or Gamma did

[tribal otter]

Permanent emmision bug - any fixes?

[raven tulip]

Im an og played originals at release. I'd say I'm a boss 😎 😏

[vocal tartan]

agree to disagree, i haven't had a crash to date, i do have lags after a time when i go to vendors, nothing a quick restart of the game doesn't fix. and yes A life isn't fully active, well neither was it in the first one, that came much much muuuuch later

[long relic]

42 million dollars after steam cut, and this is what we get

[sharp flame]

i mean if you're expecting games these days to release perfectly, without bugs ect you're an idiot.... games have been released broken or cash grabs for the last 10 years

[upper cosmos]

has someone made a binoculars mod yet? lmao

[warped slate]

Just go look on Nexus mods if you really want to see the true devs and heroes of Stalker. The game hasn't been out for four days and there are already pages of fixes and QoL changes that should have been in the game day one.

[golden wren]

does it bother anyone that your stalker needs to eat like every 10 seconds when using energy drinks? its getting so annoying, a horse wouldnt eat that much in a day, yet alone human

[blissful ember]

guys why can't this game have the same level of bloated content as modpacks that occupy the same ammount of storage space as this game

[fallow oracle]

Poor implementation??? Did you not read the description on the store front and consult the original releases before making such a comment. This is all as intended. Take it from me, an og stalker player

[carmine jackal]

I'm top of stalker rankings. open your pda and check,

[hollow plover]

Do we have a channel to report bugs or things that should be changed in here?

sorely needed... or not, in the current state of the game, enemies spawn right next to you, so... you're good 😄

[sharp flame]

how much money has star citizen made? howd that turn out

[covert mantle]

it bothers me that this stalker is running around like a maniac solving everyone’s problems and only has 3 bars of stamina (with the 2nd bar recharging significantly slower than the first and 3rd)

Why ? Enemies spawn 20m behind you 90% of the time. What are you going to do? Use them as a melee weapon?

[upper cosmos]

look at the guys in the lookout towers in ultra high detaik

[hollow plover]

Yeah it's ridiculous. I'll be artifact hunting and I'll have a group of monolith show up and start shooting at me when I just came from that direction. I love it when it's friendly stalkers and they chill with me at the fire. But I just want to be left alone while artifact hunting. I never got ambushed this much in Call of Pripyat

[sharp flame]

v1 is pretty upset that some of us can enjoy the game at the moment for what it is... must suck being this pressed about it

[long relic]

Im glad i work for a studio that at least puts out a functional game every few years and doesnt need mods, can be proud of my work

[cedar stag]

for a team thats spread over the east-bloc states due to an active war going on and the included complications that brings.

its a miracle that GSC found a publisher that was willing to make a deal with a team that is partially working from a warzone as many publishers refuse to work with you if a stray missile can wipe out your alpha build/servers/developers
and thats without factoring in personal issues like trauma, personal loss etc.

id say 42m is a good enough buffer to keep working, maybe relocate, rebuild if needed and plan for the next months.

[dire tide]

Todd Howard would like to offer you a job

[warped slate]

I'm glad people are enjoying the game. But when I pay $100 for a product and the product's store page changes it's vocabulary and verbage after said purchase, we got a problem.

[vocal tartan]

then get re imbursed?

[shrewd geode]

lmao imagine buying $100 dollar version

[wide timber]

do i return the orthodoz icon to mityay or sell it? and do you choices matter? ike is there a karma system?

[long relic]

Pay triple A prices, receive triple A criticism.

[lunar verge]

What is the definitive best performance mod/tip at the moment? I have Gsync and am using frame gen.

[warped slate]

It was technically the smart thing to do. It comes with all dlc and expansions. It's technically cheaper. I didn't buy it for the bonus stuff. I did it for the story expansions that are supposedly happenning.

[nocturne gull]

not really a karma system but you can sell it to dude kill him and then take it back to the quest giver

[fallow oracle]

Can’t imagine many missiles landing in Prague lmao. Stop making excuses for a poor launch

[cedar stag]

what vocab did they change?

also if its about season pass and dlcs it might be because Steam has just changed their tos around these offerings as Devs now have to include estimated release date and included content(just a simple description will do like new armor, not exactly what type)
https://youtu.be/FpypPqZNxPA its better explained here

[orchid narwhal]

sorry to be off topic but have devs said anything about console mod support?

[long relic]

Top one on nexus, completely fixes the stuttering for me

[wide timber]

nah cuz you know the guy that droped his ak at garbage i gave it back to him cuz i thought there was a karma system lol

[covert mantle]

only that it’s coming at some point in time afaik

[golden wren]

are you yesterday?

Firstly, entire studio moved to Prague like in middle of 2022
Secondly, their contract with MS was signed long before events of the invasion, yes they probably could have abandon the deal, but why when the dev team can just move elsewhere? Poeple are so uninformed this day and age it's almost unbelievable

[warped slate]

They removed any use of the word "A-life" off of their store page for one. I'm not lying either. There are screenshots of this.

[nocturne gull]

yeah no karma system i kept that ak since it had a gl launcher i havent found a gl since and im 30 hours into the game

[sharp flame]

coulda refunded before release

It wasn't removed before release. That's the point I'm making sir. It happened after launch. Proof: https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1guf62t/alife_20_is_no_longer_mentioned_on_the_games/

[golden wren]

what for? there is nothing beyond what you can see with your eyes, as currently there's no background simulation or distant spawns 😄

[fallow oracle]

I think they realised that the target audience wasn’t “og stalkers” and changed it for clarity. Allegedly their reason. It still exists just no one is going to know what that means

[sharp flame]

my bad, I thought it was mentioned before release

[shrewd geode]

I wanna see what patches ppl are wearing, hard to identify enemies in this

i barley see anything in the game just run from point a to point b for now 😂

[long relic]

I mean you can check the pins too in this channel for their definition of A Life, molt addressed it but im still not convinced his word is what’s actually going to happen

[warped slate]

And before anyone says "They still mention it" no, they don't their page went as follows: “A-life 2.0” that makes the game world feel alive as never before". Now it just states: "Advanced artificial intelligence systems that will keep engaged even the most hard-boiled players"

[fallow oracle]

I trust him. Molt personally entered my game last night and removed A-life from the zone

U seen that sidorobitch nude mod? rofl

[strong sequoia]

And your point? What does being right do for you? Nothing. What does being wrong do? Also nothing. Either you are within the window to refund or you gotta wait for them to either make good on the advertised features or not. The whole discussion has been chewed 1000 times in the last week.

[tacit zinc]

Yall know if the game goes open world after you beat it or do I need to start a new save?

[long relic]

However, we shouldn’t let up if they ask for triple A pricing and release it in this state

[warped slate]

Also, on their website it states A-life will build an holistic environment where player's actions have an impact on the world of the Zone. None of what we do is impacting the Zone and smarter AI isn't going to change that.

[grim wharf]

They have repeatedly said they are trying to fix A-Life 2.0 I guess just people just love complaining

[summer maple]

Which is why the system is currently not working as intended and theyre working on fixing it

[shrewd geode]

Its current state is a lot better than most AAA games on release tho

[sharp flame]

literally, cyberpunk did it, bunch of other games did it

[cedar stag]

thats weird.
because you can find all changes on steamDB and i cant find changes with alife at all

[wide timber]

personally im having a blast on xbox series S even with the clunky graphics and everything

[warped slate]

No I call bs. I believe they gave up on A-life and removed it. They forgot to remove the files completely and now they are being forced to implement it. Also, attacking me personally isn't going to get you anything but a nice block.

[grim wharf]

But their A-Life 2.0 reee crying in a crib

[kind quartz]

This is kind of curious because like, who anymore buys games at release and expects them to 100% work? Just last year we had tons of games with issues at release - and one had it so bad that it destroyed a rather beloved game studio (Arkane due to Redfall launch).

Not only that, but GSC themselves have this on their own track record. Shadow of Chernobyl at launch? Quite buggy. Clear Sky? Good luck completing it without community patch up to this day.

[upper cosmos]

Either one of two things happened. They either couldn't get A-life to work and gave up on it while continuing to promote it, or they genuinely can not get it to work because they just don't have the talent or means.

Blocking isn't as hurtful as you think it is I'd rather listen to problem solvers not crying children and complaining and crying over something they have stated they are fixing is childish and dumb

[honest sandal]

I think people are a bit jumpy because while they say they are fixing it, it would have been just as easy to have explained how it should work when it is fixed. It can't be so runic that a dev couldn't explain it to a CM right? What can we expect when its working as intended?

[noble hemlock]

[kind quartz]

I didn't say its impossible. But expecting games to work at launch without severe issues now is just... not sensible anymore, given actual realities. I do have also a list of developers that I "trust", but Arkane for example was among them and yet Deathloop was super buggy, despite their previous track record. Or for example CD Projekt Red - all good until Cyberpunk. I legitimately thought there was no way for Cyberpunk to fail because of their previous track record. (But didn't buy it because I wasn't interested, lol)

[fallow oracle]

As an og stalker fan I can confirm that I wet myself over stalker regardless of its current state

I'm just tired of people being entitled children and just complain like if they know better they fix it I have done homebrew patches for games and overhauls it's not as simple as here you go it's fixed if you want it rushed you'll break even more things then what's already broken

[strong sequoia]

If it was the first 50 times we had heard that "opinion" sure. Your discussion is number 2000556 of the same topic. It adds nothing, achieves nothing and will just alienate more people from dealing with it in the future. I just dont see a point. I think you just came to vent. Either way I am going to have the exact same discussion again in hours time with another random person. Thats the real horror of this thing.

[shrewd geode]

People that wait to buy games on sale are very smart, everything broken on launch nowadays

Honestly at this point, I'd wet myself if GSC decide to work a weekend.

[storm shore]

Was a timeline announced for the first patch? I'm waiting for a fix for an outcome of a side quest (on the edge)

People aren’t entitled to a working game and fulfilled promises when they purchase it? Did you make this comment to subtle brag about how smart you are ?

[summer maple]

I'm having an absolute blast with this, A-Life or not. Can only get better :)

[honest sandal]

Cyberpunk 100% required it's shaming period. If studios don't want to catch bad p.r, then give people nothing to complain about. We are engaging in capitalism, not weird abstracted developer charity. If a suit makes a bad choice I'm not suddenly gonna stop giving them crap over because the poor developer also catches some of it.

It's the system that's supposed to make the zone feel alive. It's meant to control the actions of AI around you like sending NPCs on patrols, make mutants do stuff at locations, have factions fight one another over areas, etc.

I asked about the factions page on the pda where you could look up kinda rudimentary but it was in the older games just a page on the factions strength and your relation or standing with each faction

[austere violet]

the artifact at boiler wont show even though im ontop of it is this a bug or am i missing something?

Yeh there’s absolutely no way they could have seen these issues coming before they released the game. Definitely weren’t painfully obvious 1-2 hours in

[kind quartz]

Hallmark of capitalism is that vast majority of companies and products fail, so that's a funny statement

And you also missed entirely the point: its just nonsensical to buy new releases and expect them to work, especially with games that have significant complexity. You're just gonna get burned. This also isn't a new thing, it happened with original SoC and CS. Hell, even beloved Fallout New Vegas was hot garbage at release.

Depends I haven't had half the problems everyone else had that's why it's called a variable they could have tested it and it was only a few problems but then once released there's more problems that you never seen on your end this is only gonna get more consistent with games getting more complex

[frigid hill]

waldsman has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[jagged nova]

anyone else got a bug where it randomly spawns a shotgun in one of ur primary slots?

[weary hedge]

yeah & quest guns

[summer maple]

All I am saying is this. #⭐┃nospoilers_general message read it, stop making up conspiracy theories

[fallow oracle]

There is no excuse for not realising that the AI is not working as described or advertised. Absolutely no one has A life functioning.

[candid thunder]

the spas 12? 😭 was a really good 5k to trader

[gusty ember]

yeah i got a m701

[dire tide]

• Spas 12
• 5k
  My wallet hurts seeing this

[grim wharf]

But you guys are claiming it's not there which is completely false

[fallow oracle]

When did I say it’s not there? It’s not working as intended or described. That is a fact. Why do you deliberately misinterpret what people write? Do you have problems with admitting that there is a degree of incompetence on GCS end?

[candid thunder]

i have a saiga 12, i sold that spas on the spot to the traders in rostok. money my beloved <33

[pseudo vault]

it's unrealistic af yeah, it should fire it's own caliber, like a .44 mag or something; I'm sure there will be a realism mod at some point

[gusty ember]

it is there it just a little bit bugged atm as i have seen it work in small groups

[grim wharf]

I'd have to actually see the incompetence first and I honestly haven't seen any of that if you want incompetence cyberpunk 2077 was perfect of that

[dire tide]

Besides, all I've got is a randomly spawning M860 while I carry a variant with magazine so it's worth even less

[olive atlas]

||has anyone found the key to the tidy stash in the concrete forest? im starting to wonder if the poltergeist nearby picked up and threw the key miles away||

[candid thunder]

good money never is bad LMAO

[fallow oracle]

You seem to see what you want to see anyway, as evidenced by your lack of reading comprehension.

[keen parrot]

Any god mod no clip mods yet?

[fading willow]

Bro when you talked to anybody in the old games you could see their faction, your status with them and trade with them. You cannot see or do shit to anybody you see in the wild. This sequel made in 2024 has less features and less heart than a game that came out almost 20 years ago. What did they think they could just resurrect this beloved game and people who played and loved the originals we’re gonna just roll over? They gotta make this right.

[grim wharf]

You do you but I know what I know from my own experience they ain't skirting around questions like CDPR did with cyberpunk

[mild granite]

one of them is "real", the rest are fake

[thick violet]

I was getting an average of 120 fps in game for the past couple days but after around 20 minutes of playing today im stuck at 40 fps?

[kind quartz]

I mean if you played the originals, surely you should know that CS is literally unplayable without the community patch, and SoC is still very buggy without community patch?

And if you know that, did you really just buy this game if you're this prone to dooming?

[cerulean frigate]

Hello everyone, i love you all, hope yall are enjoying the agem

[grim wharf]

Probably a memory leak potentially

[candid thunder]

talk to the boss bro, not his problem

[wind marsh]

How far is Cordon from ex-monolith guys arc?

[sand niche]

If anyone wants a svd fully repair there’s one in a sniper tower by the substation burned forest region the sub station is right below the chemical plant

[thick violet]

is there any way to fix it?

[cerulean frigate]

Who gon get me some of dat bloodsucker bussy? Am real desperate atm.

[dire tide]

Here, take this Makarov* Stalker and hunt for one

*Ammo not included

[grim wharf]

You could try restarting your PC but they did mention there was memory problems I think which need to be ironed out

[thick violet]

okay, thanks

[main stream]

Unfixable, need to wait for newest patch, we all suffer same experience

[cerulean frigate]

Got me some bloodsukcer ye, but no bussy tho. Just all shaft.

[steel ivy]

Any work around the collar issue for richter? got the collar he just won't talk to me

[dire tide]

I guess you can say you got shafted Stalker

[candid thunder]

remember stalker, trust nothing in the zone. that bloodussy is a lie made up by Ward to sell more bloodsuckers

[weary hedge]

Hoping the dlc (or modders) add different melee weapons. Nothing crazy just like a machete or an axe.

[sand niche]

ive noticed if an npc gets into combat while doing a fetch task it bugs them out i would recommend making a hard save before and after every major misson

[cerulean frigate]

The shaft good tho, might buy more if this is the quality.

[wide timber]

anyone notice how a lot of them sound british now?

[brisk rover]

I've heard Big Bloodsucker is thriving right now

[kind quartz]

yes, a common complaint. the decision to hire professional voice actors with bri'ish, scottish etc accents is bizarre to say the least

[cedar stag]

id prefer the chainsword

[dire tide]

For the Emperor

[wide timber]

you think they have any plans on chainging it?

[kind quartz]

doubt it. if you can do subtitles, just play with em in original language. by far better experience, for better or for worse.

[cedar stag]

[unique belfry]

So there's an anamoly thats a bright flash like a camera flash once you get into Garbage and I can't figure it out. There doesn't seem to be any audio or visual warning until its too late... what am I doing wrong?

[covert mantle]

the amount of deaths i have from fall damage is insane. falls that would likely just sprain my ankle killing me lmao

[dire tide]

You should be looking for a Chainaxe isntead in this case

[wide timber]

aight thanks

[coarse falcon]

half my deaths were trying to find the way down rom the cooling tower

[autumn plume]

Is the tourist suit a unique suit ?

[candid thunder]

True, but have you heard of Snorkussy? Its even got the extendo tube and everything, premium stuff. Too bad sidorobitch hoards it all for himself

[prime socket]

can we fix this quick selector garbage its not even working properly just let me use 4 buttons one for each

[cerulean frigate]

Its really not that hard, theres way bigger issues atm,

[cedar stag]

Debut Suit? or u mean the yellow Tourist Suit? thats a unique version of Sunrise Suit with extra 5% stamina regen

[candid thunder]

pressing 1-4 works. 1 is knife, 2 is pistol, 3 is primary first, 4 is primary secondary, 5 is grenade, 6 is bolts, 7 is your echo

[autumn plume]

Oh ok is there a database with all uniques ? Cause I want to know how more left I have to get
