yea

[dense quartz]

Unfortunatly i dont use a recticle and @fierce nexus its very hard to look at their uniforms when they are far away and i dont habe binnoculars yet and in genereal the game is pretty dark

[tender gulch]

No no, other way around. It's always green until they are hostile

is it better to use armor with a built in helmet if the stats are better than the helmet and body piece seperately?

[normal void]

Nuh uh
It turns green if they're freaky

[carmine marsh]

how do you charge the weird bolt

[harsh jungle]

lol I didn’t even read what that guy said

[bold nova]

gonna need some help with mods , if you can pls hop in a vc with me , or i can dm you what i did

[eternal garden]

So i’m actually with the dev team and they actually ordered us to not update your steam dls because they actually all hate you

[wispy scaffold]

Shoot on sight and just call them a monolith spy.

[normal void]

So true bestie

[acoustic lichen]

I'm getting oasis'd at the entrance to CS base. This game knows I long for my swamp home, how do I enter

[potent frost]

@carmine marsh stamina drain

[harsh jungle]

but why tho

[grim wharf]

After playing Stalker 2 I'll probably drop $80 for the deluxe edition in January

[lethal frost]

u cant, only later on, also, you will shed a tear fyi

[eternal garden]

idk man, boss said it’s because it’s an objective truth that he hates you :/ sorry man

[odd rapids]

anyone know when the patch is coming??

[daring fiber]

the fact im forced to carry skifs pistol around forever is silly

[fierce nexus]

There aren't binoculars in the game, I guess maybe try using a sniper scope

[normal void]

Quite simply didn't match their freak

[dense quartz]

I just wondered if binoculars exist in stalker 2 but whats the point you would just see that you see nothing alive or moving after 100metres

[potent frost]

my game is cooked. keep freezing after 5 minutes or so and can't even play anymore

[eternal garden]

we’re actually delaying it forever now, thanks man, dev team also told me they hate you too, sorry man

[umbral parcel]

Maybe ur CPU is cooked, do you have a 13th/14th gen intel by anychance ?

[odd rapids]

damn, mighty unfortunate

[coral cove]

literally about to build.a gaming pc just to play stalker 2

[cunning grotto]

everytime someone says 'when patch' the patch gets delayed by an hour

[normal void]

Next friday

[tender gulch]

Much like tinkerbell, if you don't believe, it won't exist

[dire heart]

next year they are taking a year off work

[still edge]

the stalker chat ingame would be dope, even if that was a mod, i bet it would be easy to implement and adds alot of immersion to the game

[eternal garden]

actually we just delay it 10 hours every time the word patch is said !-GSC workshop team

[junior current]

the patch is locked behind a door to a broken quest

[lavish gulch]

It was easy to implement in the og games because a-life was already doing plenty of things to broadcast. Here, not so much.

[plucky snow]

If this game smoothes out after some patches and if a-life turns into what legends tell us it used to be like, I'll absolutely spring for the expensiver bundle. Right now I'm getting a lot of mileage out of gamepass.

[umbral parcel]

Sidorovich might have the patch

[carmine marsh]

i need to either have a bar that shows how much more stam i need to charge the bolt or for the bolt to glow more as you charge it and it not needing to be full to be used

[normal void]

The patch will be $75

[smoky geode]

Everytime the word ||patch|| is mentioned an algorithm runs that finds and obfuscates another section of the SDK source code

[eternal garden]

The patch is only obtainable through an in game quest where you are sent to the northern reaches of the zone to retrieve the rumored Patch!! A new legendary artifact!

[grim wharf]

I'm not too worried about A-Life 2.0 I just liked the game as if I found it refreshing compared to fallout and add in future mod support is a mega bonus

[inner jay]

Lame you can continue after beating the story. Looks like they just didn't add it in for some reason because there's an elevator with buttons down a hallway that looks like it was obvious put in to leave the room.

[still edge]

it just a bunch of text appearing at random intervals, thats why its easy to implement

[cosmic elbow]

can i just ignore zalyssia raid and explore the other parts without failing it and everybody dying before the patch is out? im at wild island still, only got the radio call

[deft meteor]

gyat

[trail fiber]

I am feeling cheeki breeki

[mild salmon]

tax included

[lavish gulch]

some of it was just random chatter, lots of it referred to actual things happening in the zone, and pretty sure that the people sending them were actual stalkers in the zone

[normal void]

You can continue the story up until the swamps
I'd suggest you stop there until the update comes out

[grim wharf]

I use gamepass as more of a let's test it out if I like it I'll buy it I enjoyed it enough combine that with mod support coming to Xbox as well I'll happily support them

[plucky snow]

Right now groups or multiple groups of enemies spawning around me is quite annoying and distracting. Especially when I've just cleared that area 20 meters ago. At least the enemies will fight each other and let me breath.

[cosmic elbow]

already got back from the swamps, and did that stuff in the wild island

[lavish gulch]

before swamp is a great stopping point because while the game is stable until SIRCAA, the swamp quest saddles you with a 12kg unremoveable quest item

[upbeat abyss]

God I wish I could nade him again In this one

[eternal garden]

i know people keep saying they’re seeing things spawn behind them and yea i don’t doubt it but ive yet to experience anything like that, the closest thing is after wiping a ward squad to one last dude, another squad will crest a hill but it always felt like some guys coming to check out stuff and realizing it’s me, that crazy dude who’s slaughtered many

[mellow moss]

How long did you guys spent on character creation screen?

[wispy scaffold]

Honestly this game is exactly like a bethesda game. The base game is just an alpha waiting for modders to turn it into a real game.

[plucky snow]

They locked him behind that blast door. They knew what I wanted to do.

[mild salmon]

527 hours

[grim wharf]

Honestly more games need mod support on console but I also love chaos some mods I made on retro systems was just for pure annoyance and mayhem lol like GTA V for 360 I had the ragdoll mod affected both you and the NPCs just for it to be annoying

I'm on my second playthru and decided that's where I'm stopping until the patch

[grim wharf]

Never seen my Series X Fallout 4 then lol modded it so hard you wouldn't even recognize it if I didn't have the HUD enabled also @eternal garden worst I had was a black screen after fast traveling which I'm assuming it just stop registering textures which sticks unless you load a prior save well that and I have ran into disappearing ammo and memory leaks

[upbeat abyss]

Do it. You won't. Monolith won't listen to the weak.

[queen oracle]

any way to reset bugged artifacts? at the scientist helicopter, every time i go there the artifact is bugged. i even no clipped underground to see if it would be there but nope. nevermind it is underground but it falls deeper and deeper if i chase it. update: got it by making my noclip speed faster

[mellow moss]

I like my gopnik shotgun skill tree

[wispy scaffold]

Depends on what area you are in. North of cement factory or around Malachite and the terrain is flat enough that you notice every single patrol spawn. The lesser zone, garbage, and the swamp are hilly enough that there is a good chance for the patrol to spawn almost right on you and move away from you without starting to aggro.

[bright prism]

Meow (sorry for my english)

[eternal garden]

my favorite loner skill is the silent takedown chain and then the pistol takedown upgrade is sick. I also think cooking grenades shouldn’t have insta killed you until you get the cook grenade skill :/ that was a lil dumb.

[wide timber]

patch is gonna be in 10 mins

[normal void]

They call me John patch

[cosmic elbow]

so if we already went thru SIRCAA and got professor stuck behind a welded shut door with a funny looking device with a weight of 4 gallons of paint in my backpack we are doomed to just wait for a patch?

Neat, seems to consistently crash if attempting to upgrade a weapon with no slots

Honestly it sucks that the physical copy is 1 disc though because 146GB doesn't fit on one disc you'd have to split 100GB to disc 1 then 46GB to disc 2 so that portion I'm irritated as I wanted a physical copy but there's no point in that case

[normal void]

The tech doesn't like you and is crashing your game on purpose

Just wanted to ask, but is there any reason to use the 5.56 weapons in the game when all ther 5.45 ones have the same pen but better damage

the emission during the chimera is scripted and a total pain in the ass, you can sprint past the chimera fight completely and make it to a safe house. good luck

They pushed it back

[grim wharf]

I learned that ammo types matter shooting bloodsuckers with buckshot didn't do as much as slugs

[lavish gulch]

people on google say rdr was 98-105Gb though, might fit on two with a bit of compression and rest of the patches come from the internet.

Think stalker 2 would be three discs minimum.

[tranquil jewel]

why is so much of the map blocked off by instakill radiation? Thanks to the power or mods I am walking through inaccessible bits of Pripyat and there's no reason to make it like this. It's all perfectly functional and looks good, just devoid of props.

All it does that I can see is make traversing the world needlessly irritating

And.... stutter, while doing the quest. It f___ing happens like every 30 mins so i have to restart W da D

they’re actually planning on waiting for the heat death of the universe? but i’m free that day so it’s whatever @grim wharf all mutants have invisible armor values, use high penetration weapons against them and they drop like flies.

[ebon blade]

[grim wharf]

Either way because I love comparing versions of how it was on launch to like 6 months later they made the physical copy not worth it by making it 1 disc also @eternal garden I know that's what I learned

[junior current]

oof

[wispy scaffold]

Eh. If you peg the bloodsucker in the head with a buckshot when it charges at you it stuns the thing. 2-4 shots depending on buckshot spread luck to kill one. The bloodsucker nest turned into a comedy with the RAM-2 of just constantly knocking back the bloodsuckers as they charged.

I got a Saiga pretty early on, when you meet that Guide in the cave, the Pen changes everything. Went from needing like 16 shells in the m890 to kill one to just needing 4

Yea plus bloodsuckers are just super tanky if you don'z hit the head.

I believe that story was fake, as I recall. And I wouldn't care if the inside of the Sarcophagus (if it even existed lmao) were that way, but its not like that. It's random, highly convenient streets and like 95% of access routes to locations. Or the peak of the slag heap, so you can't just climb down it. It's really frustrating.

C:\XboxGames\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2\Content\Stalker2\Content\Paks\~modsThis is where mods go for gamepass if you did a default installation. If you manually changed install location then you will have to find it yourself. Most guides are for steam so if your looking for a specific file it should be somewhere in the content folder but you might have to dig for it. ||Imagine if windows had a working search function....God I miss xp||

[lavish gulch]

they were great at shredding mutants in the og trilogy, a lot better than any early non-shotgun.

In S2 they suffer from the wonky weapon progression: At the start terrible shotguns were the biggest gun bandits had. In this game you're facing enemies with AKs from the start and getting your own way sooner.

[bright prism]

No worries, they are just ugly vampires

[simple kiln]

I fixed it. Lost 2 hours free roam progress but didn’t matter much. Now I can keep stalking

[zenith sedge]

is the mindscrew a secret little bunker or did I accidently get into it way before a quest?
Its like right at the start of the game but its got this end game shit and zombies everywhere

Very bottom of lesser zone where the tutorial starts

[eternal garden]

did you brute force the code?

[queen oracle]

49 hours in and no idea what ur talking about haha. prob some crazy shit

[weary hedge]

I checked with my local weatherman and he said 75% chance patch will be out tomorrow at 9am

[simple kiln]

I love the mission name reference happiness for everyone lol

[candid thunder]

so one of my quests to talk to richter in the tower, how do i use console commands to bypass this quest? i am an impatient babyman but instead of coming in here going "patch when!11" i wanna just get this quest over with so i can go to pripyat 😭

[carmine marsh]

i just need one more artifact slot so i can have all the arch ones at once

[zenith sedge]

reddit is telling me if I go further into the bunker it'll perma softlock my game and ill have to delete my save file lol I dont think you're supposed to get into this place
This game is an actual minefield of accidently ruining your save file lmao

[eternal garden]

aw man it’s only looking like 20% chance here locally :( and @simple kiln wait till you see the last mission name!

monobros, how are we doing today!

[surreal aurora]

While I don't deny the soft lock possibility, you should be making multiple saves. Autosaves/Quicksaves. So do won't lose your whole playthrough.

[upbeat abyss]

Look, someone certainly did dig trenches in there. We've seen it from orbit lmao.

Those were the two big ones. There were/are hot spots. The main reason things aren't worse was the liquidation and clean up.

Like the vehicles they used for it are still so stupidly contaminated it's not funny and they buried as much as they could

[pale timber]

chat im on the mission "happiness for everyone" and im kind of losing steam for the main quests, how many hours of main content/missions left are there?

[weary hedge]

Those are actually anomalies in the game they don’t kill the character just your system

[carmine marsh]

ive literally not had a single soft lock this game, even when sequence breaking, just make sure to save often ig

[wispy scaffold]

Oh hey thats the bunker that not just corrupted my latest save file but a random mix of my last 20. It wasn't even my last 5 or something that would make sense but was just a random scattering of different save files.

[vocal ermine]

bro just back up a save its not hard

[zenith sedge]

lol im doing the whole ironman thing where I only save at beds I hate having heaps of saves because it makes death feel not a problem / too easy

[tranquil jewel]

yeah once again, that makes sense- so much ionizing radiation that I am instantly vaporized trying to walk down a random street but totally fine 2 steps off it doesn't. That's my issue.

[weary hedge]

Is anyone past the Duga mission here?
Please dm so we don't spoil the others here, but i need help im stuck

I feel like I’m just gonna stay in the lesser zone for now. Maybe revisit the og trilogy. I really want to experience this game with its full potential but I still wanna play lol

[upbeat abyss]

Nah, it's bumped up gameplay. The hot spots and scattered awfulness? Could make sense if they abandoned the clean/liquidation half way

[eternal garden]

monolith bros, are we ensuring happiness for all today? Are we ensuring no one is left behind unsatisfied!?

[carmine marsh]

what does the weird flower actually even do

[wispy scaffold]

Enemies take longer to detect you after you sleep. Starts at something like 10% longer and starts fading until it's gone.

[zenith sedge]

it makes your detection raidus like 2 meters smaller for the first 5 minutes of using a bed lol
Literally useless to take up an artifact slot its the same as the shower in metal gear solid V

[queen oracle]

if my armor or gun is at 1% it should in no way ever cost more to fully repair anything than it is to buy a new one. person that balanced the economy should be fired

[glad tendon]

if you don't fix the missing legendary artifacts ima have a word with you lol

[eternal garden]

i feel like the best part of stalker is just the outlandish experiences you either are presented or present to others, there are genuine moments where if i was playing as the npcs i would be genuinely freaked at some of the stuff i was pulling, especially in SoC

[fading flume]

i cant wait to be able to play stalker 2 in a couple years when they release the first patch

[wispy scaffold]

Got an artifact equipped? If your rads ain't dropping then I assume you have an artifact equipped without either lead canister or a rad protection artifact to counteract it.

[limber mesa]

Hey, I don't take no responsibility peasant.
All that I am, all that I do..is follow the will of my GSC overlords.

Hey guys if there is any door in the quest that is stuck or there is an npc blocking the way. You can use wemod to teleport to the other side (except for the default closed doors)

[stoic fable]

gonna say from looking at the depot we should see it in the next 12 hours

[wheat orchid]

Do we have any local data miners willing to share if unique weapons actually have different stats or are they just more costly to repair normal guns with a funny name and sometimes a different paint put on them? Aside from the obvious cases like Clusterf*ck

[carmine marsh]

nope no rads at all, still slightly drunk, the radation icon isnt moving at all and the bar is empty

[weary hedge]

Why are you releasing on a Friday? What if it breaks stuff and then y’all are just off for the weekend?

[nocturne canyon]

Thats the point

[simple kiln]

Bet it’s heart of Chornobyl

[limber mesa]

This boi gets it.

[tranquil jewel]

Its an objectively shit decision and finding in-lore reasons does not invalidate that point

Just wear Weird Water and ignore rads completely. Not to mention the additional 42 carry weight.

[limber mesa]

Now listen, when I drop at your systems tmrw night, I want you all to pray to my GSC overlords and make a shrine for em.

Is patch 12 am tn or tmr

Look if you aren't humping the elephants foot or tickling the dragons tail you probably aren't going to insta die from normal radiation. You'll die a slow painful death weeks or months later as your cells break down at an atomic level and become unable to function or reproduce properly 🙂

it’s another roadside picnic reference !!

[wheat orchid]

Btw how do I check the artbook? Steam only shows me the OST.

[stoic fable]

There's two different ones being sent. The release candidate has a different build number and a later one. The art book one was 18 hours ago and has a older build number. (compliance pcr has the same one that went through pre_cert which is a older build while the release candidates has a new build). I should also mention qa build hasnt been updated in two days, so high prob of it being released in the next 12 - 24 hours

[weary hedge]

Pretty funny the art book needed a patch

they’re actually lying, i hacked in and i’m reading that they actually intend to drop three days before the resurrection of christ so be on the look out for that

[vale otter]

What’s the first patch?

[tranquil jewel]

fr never download any of those "I recreated Alife" mods dude Ive been in a gunfight for the last 45 minutes and monolith wont stop spawning and aggroing from beyond visual range

I am mostly alive right now because I keep getting random SVUs spawning in slot 4 and giving me a little bit of x54r to shoot

[bright prism]

Day 1 patch was the first which fixed a ton.
We don't know what will be fixed now. Probably the main quests.

Edit nevermind

[rich finch]

There won't be a patch

[slender fern]

When was there a day 1 patch?

[pseudo hound]

it was about 110gb +

[pine haven]

it didn’t exist

[craggy oyster]

why won’t it let me load into my new save? it’s just stuck at the loading screen and has been like this all day

[eternal garden]

it’s gonna have a dude sipping beer on it and everyone will have one on the patch sash

[wispy scaffold]

The games a buggy mess. Try an older save.

[eternal garden]

load an earlier save from before you entered whatever region you just entered, where were you at when you saved? chemical plant?

[rich finch]

The real patch is all the friends we made along the way

[eternal garden]

i’m holding gsc patch for ransom, please send me 8000000000000 hyrvnia in bitcoin please

[pseudo hound]

what patch? did somebody say patch?

[limber mesa]

Nope. Come back tmrw and find out!

[dusty lion]

I’m debating buying the game on steam or just keep playing on game pass

[rich finch]

The patch has cum

[spring sparrow]

hi

[mental flax]

careful about saying patch, its very elusive. like a deer on a radioactive woods

[eternal garden]

yea someone did, that means 10 more hours of delay, thanks for reminding me man- Me (real dev guy on dev team)

[pseudo hound]

I dont think we need a patch? game is immaculate

[craggy oyster]

idk where i was, i was at this place where u have to go to a underground bunker and get voice tapes and unlock a door, that’s as far as i got until i died, i have a older save but it’s before i did all that work, it took me like 20 minutes

[limber mesa]

Dude it's still NNN
so unfortunately you are wrong.
I have not yet cum.

[rich finch]

The more people complain the more delayed it gets.
At this point it's cancelled

[weary hedge]

Just managed to finally bypass a softlock after 2 days
Hopefully i'll be able to finish the game this time, i'm nearly 40 hours in

[clever portal]

as with most games mods will give new experiences or QoL changes that you may want. gamepass games are finnicky with mods so imo if you just want vanilla stay with gamepass and if you want mods buy from steam

[south imp]

had the exact same issue, did you find a fix ? even using the ue console to force the quest to start doesn't do anything

[royal wedge]

there is no day 1 path, only Nth day patch

[spring pier]

This guy gets it

[pseudo osprey]

Alright I'm stuck for a whole day now with the mission ask richter about the scientist. When I get the colar at the boat house nothing happend or can return the qeust also the side mission "just business" is gone. Anyone knows a fix or anything l?

[eternal garden]

yes that’s the chemical plant, known bug, get through the mission without dying, if you can’t, load a save before you enter the chemical plant and wait for the patch.

[limber mesa]

That is what a degenerate does, not a real man.

[strong sequoia]

Tejas about to pull out the slap hammer - warning was given

[rich finch]

your soy milk and tumblr blogs are waiting for you. You will not reach Agartha

[craggy oyster]

if i save after will it let me load into it?

[south imp]

yes

[plucky snow]

Who are the guys in green camo that keep attacking me? Of course I can't up load a picture

[wispy scaffold]

Download a mod that lets you instantly complete quests or wait for a patch fix. A lot of people get stuck on that part.

[weary hedge]

It gets alot worse not so long after that, but you can bypass most of these issues by trying various methods

[lavish wind]

has anybody else noticed the "shadowmarks" near hidden stashes
what are they called and does anybody have a guide on them

[broken terrace]

Are 7.62x39 weapons actually a thing in this game? Ive found a gauss rifle before a single 7.62 gun and ive been playing 40 hours lmao

[plucky snow]

I guess more of a black and yellow/pale green.

[wispy scaffold]

Only weapon I know that uses 7.62 is the RPM-74.

[pseudo osprey]

Alright man thanks

[trim pendant]

Dnipro can convert to 7.62

[tranquil jewel]

I cannot explain how much I want Telegraph's suit for myself

[fierce turret]

Richter is close by if the issue is that you can't find him. He's in the small building right by the boathouse

[digital elk]

where patch

[wispy scaffold]

Already out. Just need to reinstall your game

[night acorn]

If I buy the ultimate edition do I get the special armor and guns? Or was that only for pre order? I bought the standard but I want to order the ulitmate when I can as I tried to but it'll make me buy the game again as there is no season pass option

[fierce turret]

Just reached level 4 in the discord LOL the discord has leveling up but the game doesn't

[dusty cradle]

patch.

[chilly wigeon]

When the patch?

[digital elk]

ok 🅱️tard

where patch

[weary hedge]

Why patch

[pseudo osprey]

@fierce turret He inst there. He only is there when I ask him to come with me but when I have the colar and speak to him nothing happens

[versed pivot]

was there a patch or something? my fps is way worse today than it has ever been

[thorny pond]

everyone asks "where patch" and "why patch" but no one asks how is patch.

[fierce turret]

You get a quest telling you where the gear is stashed in stashes. You still gotta go get it though. Nothing just given to you

[night acorn]

See when people come here to ask for help and the idiots that spend their entire day on here crying and complaining push those who ask for help out of the way to continue to be as man baby throwing a bloody tantrum

[jolly stirrup]

anyone know what causes the weird glowing orange specter-like enemies running after you? is that a controller or some anomaly?

[wispy scaffold]

...what?

[surreal aurora]

you are psi-irradiated. Take some psi-blocker.

[main cedar]

Today is patch day I can feel it in my lower parts

[south imp]

last wish quest doesn't start after teleporting to the red forest with richter, anyone got a fix ? tried with the ue console but it won't start

[dense vale]

hopefully. i love the game but my 4070ti super is probably going to need a vacation after this

[dusty cradle]

patch.

[fierce turret]

Its psi damage. It's currently buggy and sometimes lasts forever. Reloading a save before it happens is the only fix. I've found for it

[night acorn]

I know that I'm saying if I refund the standard edition to buy the ultimate will I get the unique weapons? I have to refund it as I can't buy the season pass separately

[main cedar]

Yea I can see burn marks on my gpu ever since entering rostock lol

[tender gulch]

how has no one asked about the patch yet?? This is priority number 1, why are you guys not askin about it?

[chilly wigeon]

Paaaaaatch

[fierce turret]

Yes. Aswell as the quest to go find all the stashes

[thorny pond]

dey took er paaaaaaaaccchhhh

[versed pivot]

this community sucks bro, literally everyone is rude and nobody wants to help. most useless discord community i have ever seen

[chilly wigeon]

In patch we trust!

We thank you, oh Patch, for revealing the cunning plans of your enemies to us.
May your light shine down on the souls of the brave soldiers who gave their lives in service to your will.
Onward warriors of the Patch, avenge your fallen brothers, blessed as they are in their eternal union with the Patch.
Bring death to those who spurned the holy power of the Patch.

[dusty cradle]

patch.

[digital elk]

Where patch

[south imp]

we'll be able to upgrade our editions later

[vagrant mulch]

Devs… patch today?

[night acorn]

1000000% agree I come in here to get help and I get it but slowly because the helpful stalkers are a minority as the cry baby complaining w@nkers outweigh them by amass

[chilly wigeon]

What kind of help do you need?

[tender gulch]

I almost 100% promise your question, whatever it is, has been answered if you use the search feature on discord/google

@south imp , whats your question king

[rich finch]

When does Strelok do the thug shaker

[south imp]

already search around for an answer to mine and no success so far

[versed pivot]

fax, i ask a question on how find something or fix a glitch and everyone just messes with me.

[royal wedge]

Patch? Where Patch? Did someone say Patch? Patch?

[night acorn]

Do backpacks exist in this game if so where are the pre order one from the early bird set? I got the suit and the gun from pre order but not that

[misty brook]

[fierce turret]

What would you like help with?

[rich finch]

A majority of this chat are crybaby losers

[wispy scaffold]

Whack. Automod for sending the same msg multiple times when it was an original msg that I never sent. But hey at least the msg leveled me up lol. Sorry @night acorn but automod said nope to me answering your question long form. Short form is you get what ever steam says on the store page and lose out on preorder bonus if you refund and repurchase. Pretty common sense tbh.

[south imp]

last wish quest doesn't start after teleporting to the red forest with richter, any known fix ? tried with the ue console but it won't start

[slim oyster]

It’s literally just the patch on the bag for the open inventory animation. Blink and you’ll miss it

[tender gulch]

I think the "backpack" in reference is cosmetic when you pull out your backpack. I see no reference anywhere to a physical backpack item* nor have I seen one in game

@south imp if the UE console isn't fixing your problem youll probably have to wait for the patch, some people get unlucky, sorry king

[dusty cradle]

how is patch.

[rough cypress]

Patch?

[fierce turret]

Known bug. Reload previous save and try again. These bugs are frustrating. But it's a good reminder to save often

[lusty basin]

patch when

[royal wedge]

Ok man what did you needed help with?

[south imp]

tried reloading a few times already

[rich finch]

You must be a 🌱 because the community has been like this for nearly 20 years

[hot perch]

should be spamming F5

[fair pebble]

unless your save slot gets corrupted 😭

[fierce turret]

I had a similar issue. Now you've unfortunately got to reload to way before and redo some quests. The engine needs to go back to a point way before it failed to script the quest correctly and start again. Can you go back like. 30 mins before or more?

[mental flax]

everytime someone mentions patch it gets delayed for 8 hours. sorry bro

[south imp]

i'll try that later thanks for the suggestion

[lusty basin]

patch where

[dusty cradle]

how is patch.

[tender gulch]

ah then it should be releasing near the heat death of the universe at this rate
well fenyx extended that just beyond the heat death of the universe
oop thanh kai pushed it towards the great collapse into another big bang

[small pond]

Patch?

[wispy scaffold]

Pretty much at this point the answer to any bugged quest question is going to be the exact same.
Step 1:) Make sure you are doing the quest correctly and it's actually bugged
Step 2:) Reload previous save
Step 3a:) Wait for patch
Step 3b:) Download UETools and manually progress either the quest or noclip to the area that you are locked out from erroneously

[rich finch]

It's great, shame I'm the only person who got it

[royal wedge]

Feel like bro does not really need any help, and wanted to complain

[fierce turret]

Patch this dick, deal with the "anomolies" in the game like a "real Stalker"

[lusty basin]

cuz is a patch most like another 7 years 15 for stalker 3

[ember wadi]

why does the tourist suit look like someone dipped it in battery acid

[royal wedge]

How is the word dick not banned but dogsh*t got banned

[tender gulch]

and just to be clear, you said no one has answered this question before but its been mentioned 45 times in the past week
edit: responded to wrong guy

[dusty cradle]

how is patch.

[rich finch]

The patch will include Strelok giving you a goatse as a reward

[pearl harness]

When is the patch coming? Any word yet

[wispy scaffold]

It was delayed till HL3 comes out

[fierce turret]

I said no such thing. He did. I can ask a question no one has the answer to if you guys want tho. I found some neat stuff out if bounds

[royal wedge]

Previous user ate the tourist breakfast artifact

[tender gulch]

I know this, and I love you
(I responded to wrong guy)

[lusty basin]

[dusty cradle]

how is patch.

[chilly flicker]

Patch release date :|| Soon||

[rich finch]

Streloks high-res butthole requires a lot of attention so the patch is delayed

[brisk yew]

I had to use the console to start the next quest, unfortunately

[pearl harness]

I’m stuck at richter and the scientists

[south imp]

so you completely skipped it ?

[fierce turret]

I love you too big boss. Sorry about outer heaven.

This 2 minute timer funkin blows

[royal wedge]

We need the slow mode delay down to 1 minutes, so all pf us can ask for the patch every one minutes instead of two.

[dusty cradle]

how is patch.

[lusty basin]

patch

[rugged arch]

Y’all winning!

[brisk yew]

Yep, it's outcome led me to Strelok ending by default

[pseudo hound]

the word patch sounds weird now...

[pseudo osprey]

M2 we should wait for the patch

[tender gulch]

not me hiding out in stalker_general to avoid the babies in nospoilers_general but then I gotta see all the spoilers while im at work and can't play stalker 2

[rugged arch]

https://tenor.com/view/cheekibreeki-cheeki-breeki-intensifies-stalker-bandit-radio-stalker-clear-sky-gif-24295015

[brisk yew]

Well that's why I'm not saying what is the outcome exactly;)

[lusty basin]

patch where

[fierce turret]

I can share my secret either you as an apology. So while out of boundaries exploring around the cnpp. I stumbled on a series of scientist bunkers. All of which has this same LED sign inside. You throw the switch in each one along a very deliberately well designed path that eventually leads you to the generators. Each one brings the next facility to green. But I haven't found the switch for x7 and I don't know what it anything needs to be done or happen to trigger whatever this is related to, secret ending? Future dlc? Can't show you guys on the map as the location is just clouds on the map lol oh hell I can't even share the image what the hell

[royal wedge]

What do you do in the mirage anomaly, apart from having schizo mental breakdown

[pearl harness]

That big ass ball next to rostok base, wth is that

[simple shard]

Swamps weren't as bad as people said they were, got some great artifacts and some good stashes there too. Fleeing the Chimera on the other hand feels borderline RNG because outside of the shack in the distance I have no idea if I'm stepping into deep water or going the right way. Is there a boardwalk there or something?

[pastel pecan]

So... which ending is canon?

[upbeat abyss]

Monolith

[rich finch]

The devs have the patch ready, it a set on a timer to release. But whenever someone says "Patch" in #☢┃stalker-general the timer gets reset

[royal wedge]

Jump in, treasure awaits in unknown land.

Also, patch.

[thorny pond]

How does patch feel right now? does patchh appreciate itself?

[half seal]

The 2 min Timer is the reason people having here a normal conversation and not a shit posting memefest with braindead messages and trolls.

[tawny cypress]

It just advanced me to level 8 on Discord for that poll ahahahaha

[pseudo osprey]

This game should have a patch

[fierce turret]

Do you mean the one floating in the lake by malachite? That is a mystery

[pearl harness]

Maybe idk, ima try that off the grid till patch come out

[wintry mulch]

Try jumping into it! 😄

[tawny cypress]

Awww someone deleted my poll. Sorry mods, my bad. I thought it was funny 😉

[dusty cradle]

https://tenor.com/view/credit-card-smacking-credit-card-on-table-gif-21340324
me if patch comes out

[timid aurora]

If I was not working right now I would stream this shit. I have been playing for 38 minutes, in Yantar, with no spawns at all.

[fierce turret]

The area I was in is to the right of pripyat while also slightly south of it. Between it and the cnpp. It's just labeled as generators on the pda map but like....it's very finished. Fully modeled complete textures. Anomalies. Loot. A dead npc with a suicide note on his body. I'm just wondering what if anything I've done and well. If I really was out of bounds and not supposed to be there then why the hell was this all left in for a stalker to discover? Lol

[royal wedge]

Walked arond those area got instant radiation poisoning and died, prolly need to go there late game

[half seal]

@royal wedge that dose rainbow Reaction mean ?

[simple shard]

Is there a trick to finding the right path through the swamp fleeing the Chimera and not getting stuck in a puddle and dying

[narrow pilot]

https://steamdb.info/app/1643320/history/

[hearty zenith]

I'm on a minor incident mission and I can't get out of the bugfix, I have no saves to load, is there any other solution?

[rich finch]

It means you're gay

[fierce turret]

Yeah the "stay out" instakill rad field is there but it's only a few meters wide. Once you make it past it it goes away and there's and entire 2 regions of the map obscured by clouds to explore and it's about 70% loaded with stuff to find and idk what the switches inside the scientist bunkers and ultimately x7 are going to do. Secret ending? I wish I was home and could play around and explore more. But I'm traveling currently. Go check it out though guys. Use godmode and ghost mode lol

[royal wedge]

I tend to go towards lands that can be connected by running jump

Or look for patch of grass which meant walkable lands

Just chugs water along the way

[tawny cypress]

I've said it before and I'll say it again.......Stalker 2 is the best game I've ever played all bugs aside. Once they polish it up a bit, it's going to be a masterpiece 🙂

[tender gulch]

spoken like a man whos never played dragon age veilguard

Crap. I didn't count on encountering elemental poltergeists.

Welcome to the community 🌱

[native field]

Man stalker needs a rusty/dirty effect for worn out guns

[tawny cypress]

That game looks ridiculous lol. But I'm not into wizards, gandolph and dragons and stuff tbh.

[timid aurora]

Its the Skyrim of the decade that is for sure. Microsoft has a good exclusive on their hands. Not only do they own Bethesda and have Skyrim under their belt, they also have STALKER 2, but I will not sit idly by and allow them to think its okay to have the game in this state. I need A-Life back.

[dusty cradle]

Patch is Love.
patch is Life.
we like Patch.
Patch like us.

[royal wedge]

Game really does invoke the same feeling of excitement for exploration back when I first played skyrim. A good nostalgic feeling.

[humble mist]

Bro Clusterfuck is OP but pleaseee the muzzle flash is blinding me shooting from scope

[wide timber]

i went to both actually

[carmine marsh]

i cant get the Three Captains quest to start, anyone know how

[rich finch]

You're only into wizard gandolph stuff when it's in Ukraine huh

[tender gulch]

the automod works in mysterious ways..

[tawny cypress]

I think Microsoft only has a three month exclusive if I heard that right. This is 100% GSC's bread and butter.

[timid aurora]

I almost have the same feeling, but the game feels dead due to the absence of "life" around me.

[simple shard]

Figured as much, just need to find the right jumps i guess, muchas gracias

GSC is removing the Life part of A-Life because they've come to realize that no one in their community has one

[humble mist]

Automod? Wdym, also no upgrade can remove or lessening that?

[tawny cypress]

Nothing to do with Ukraine or any country. Just not into wizards and dragons and shit lol. I prefer Zombies, Mutants and Anomalies to the Valgard Dragon whatever it is your into.

[tawny hare]

🇵 🇦 🇹 🇨 🇭 ⁉️

[icy rain]

Just finished the game, with ||strelok || ending, holy shittttt. This game is a masterpiece idc what anyone says the art direction and environment of this game is far far better than what any AAA studio has put out in the past couple years. Time to grind for the other endings 🙂

[tender gulch]

just that you can say clusterfuck but not... ꜰᴜᴄᴋ

And trust me, I HATE being this negative about my beloved series but I did the same thing to Battlefield after 2042. Hopefully DICE learned their lesson from that release. Sheesh.

@royal wedge I'mma have to ask you to not lol

[frigid hill]

himegami0 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[tender gulch]

2042 was cringe, but it wasn't like the worst thing ever
compared to BO6, 2042 is a godamned national treasure

Sorry if I cursed in here

[covert mantle]

you are not forgiven. the ghost of wolf past will get you. you are not safe. enjoy your last days

Holyshitman 2042 was such a disappoinment, i remembered coping when they release the beta. Top 10 money wasted moment of my life

Rat swarms

[weary hedge]

One of the most mundane fantasy games of all time. Barely even a dragon age game

why are there so many bloodsuckers

[rich finch]

Yet you play a game where a guy in a weird hat makes duplicates of himself to mess with you with Jedi powers
Weird double standards

[timid aurora]

I dunno, V was a better game and I still hated it due to the DEI crap invested into it. Then they REALLY ramped it up with 2042. No idea what they were thinking doing that crap to Battlefield, then placing Specialists??? We did NOT ask for that. Only person we know in that roster is Irish (RIP Michael).

[half seal]

because there can't be enough cake in the world and let me tell you, bloodsuckers have all the cake

[tawny cypress]

What are you talking about? You lost me. It's going to be okay man. Arguing with people over what type of games you like on the internet is like the Special Olympics. No matter who wins, you're both retarded 😉

[weary hedge]

See I think a game can have diversity and I don’t think it’s the wokism more like BioWare is not close to the same company it use to be

[timid aurora]

I swear the rats are the hardest enemy in the game lol.

Edit: Tushies have NOTHING on those assholes.

[jolly stirrup]

theyre obscenely hard to hit, but at least they have reasonable health unlike a certain large mutant

[covert mantle]

me personally i think anything that has collision (barrels, broken ammo boxes, boxes in general) are the hardest enemy’s in the game

[thick tide]

come clean guys, who has failed NNN?

[tawny cypress]

You're out of control. I'm just not into the other type of fantasy games like Dragon Valguard Age is all. Let it go my man lol.

[tender gulch]

speaking of BS enemies..
why can the blind dogs tell when I am aiming at them and juke my shots??????????????????

[chilly wigeon]

Patch is the most challenging enemy you cant find it

I hardly see the difference between anomalies and controllers over people using silly wands and staves. They're fundamentally pretty similar

Is there a way to make thrown object by mutant Physics, not nearly kill uou? I have high protection armor that’s durability green. And I have the compass artifact

[tough rain]

Man do I miss him. ||I need Diode back. Ward got me acting like a hitchhiker for repairs||

[timid aurora]

Do you fail NNN if the N happens without touching the D? Hmm... I will leave you guys to argue over that one ;)

[weary hedge]

Does anyone know if there will be a post game or new game plus

[tawny cypress]

Look you win man. I just don't like fantasy games like Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Hopefully that is okay with you. I like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, and the previous Stalker series. It's really that simple.

[rich finch]

Faust wanked me off with his controller powers

[chilly wigeon]

After some patches😏

[craggy oyster]

why isn’t the door opening for the mission Assault on Duga? i killed the guys now it wont let me in to kill the monolith leader

[weary hedge]

You make an excellent point just like how starship trooper and saving private ryan are similar they both have guns and nazis

[tender gulch]

brother.. youre just being trolled 😭
dont feel bad

[vagrant mulch]

We wanna play, we want patch

[timid aurora]

TBH, I would too. Not going to lie. Frees up a hand so I can look for NPCs or mutants to kill. What will happen first? The nut or the kill? Only STALKER will tell.

[weary hedge]

Cause I wish I could keep playing after the main story

[tawny cypress]

I get pussy is what I'm really saying lol. Not into Anime, wizards, and gandolph and dragons ahahahahahah

Hello everyone

[tender gulch]

maybe im the one getting trolled all along...

I get anime pussy, wizard pussy, dragon pussy, gandolph pussy, and sci-fi fantasy pussy. Best of both worlds

[thorny pond]

hello. are you the patch? 😮

[simple kiln]

Im about to square up with him I think, I am at the scar attack group portion, made the psy upgrade shortly before

[chilly wigeon]

I heard info that the patch will be on 20 November 2025

The only "pussy" you're getting is Chinese takeout

I've definatly been with several asian women, yes. Each of them crazy in different ways. One of them used to leave very thoughtful gifts like Cologne and things around my apartment for me to find. Was quite sweet actually.

[weary hedge]

She was doing that to buy herself time to escape

[rich finch]

Asian men can be pretty feminine did you check for shlong first

[weary hedge]

People just joining cause they want to talk about stalker are going to be very lost

[royal wedge]

are you one of the said feminine asian men

[tender gulch]

guys help, idk who is trolling and who is serious anymore
im scared

[tawny cypress]

See this is why it didn't work out with that one. I told her I was tired after work one day and she said "I know when I'm being written off" and got really clingy after that so I had to shut that down before it got worse.

[rich finch]

I'm German so I can't surpass Asian femininity but I am a close second 🥈

[weary hedge]

This blue balls of a wait for this patch is driving chat insane

[native field]

another thing they should add is a keybind that lets you do a weapon inspection animation. anyone agree?

[long wren]

Only certain suits have the sprint upgrade available, I know the Diamond and Liberty Exoskeletons do.

[autumn plume]

The no patch is making us leak neurons like the games leaks VRAM

[royal wedge]

I can imagine you wearing programming socks just now

[bleak oracle]

what are yall’s current loadouts? Me personally i’m running these items, Currently in my 2nd playthrough and glitched into pripyat early, 5 hours in roughly

Weapons-Texan, Gauss gun (when im having to fight a far off enemy)and Skifs pistol

Armor-Diamond Exoskeleton W/all Modules added so i can sprint

Artifact-Liquid Rock,Weird ball, Spring,Weird water,Weird flower.

[rich finch]

I am wearing my pair of the Pipkin Pippa knee socks (sized for men)

[tender gulch]

[weary hedge]

Germans aren’t allowed in this chat y’all have done to much world damage,go eat sauerkraut

[long wren]

Vector with all upgrades/Silenced, UDP with Silencer, Saiga D-12. Liberty exo.

[autumn plume]

I can't find the liquid rock

[bleak oracle]

Just go to the poisonous Hole in garbage and save scum

[royal wedge]

Always the phase connect fans with the sickest minds, and femboyest knee socks

[autumn hornet]

It really bugs me I have no idea what the in game time is and when the sun comes up

[rich finch]

It's been 80 years. shut up, drink your soy milk and get over it

[wintry mulch]

The map has the current time in the top right corner

[weary hedge]

See I’m talking about the endless amount of bad simulation games that Germans like to make and publish on steam so much

[tender gulch]

if you look up you will see when the sun is up

[autumn hornet]

FML 5 more hours 😂 I ain’t traveling out there to get to camp Icarus. I need to be able to carry a sleeping bag lol

[rich finch]

I'm a Tenma fan personally because I think her voice is really sexy but since I watch an indie, Marimari_en I watch Pippa sometimes cuz they collab alot

[rough cypress]

Sekc patch

[trail fiber]

And this is my second emission

[gloomy citrus]

Legendary Artifact
Found right beside Sidorovich's bunker

[weary hedge]

Just saw a update pop up for stalker 2 on Xbox

[tender gulch]

found in sidorovich?

[chilly wigeon]

When the patch?

[rich finch]

It was brewing in his rectal cavity

[rough cypress]

Patch is brewing in mine

[chilly wigeon]

Where the patch?

[royal wedge]

its in there for long enough, take it out ant let others enjoy it too 😜

[weary hedge]

I was able to hack gsc servers and fixed the game all on my own it will be out in 10 seconds

[rich finch]

The patch was ready days ago but it's set up to a release timer where every time some days the word Patch the timer resets back

[zenith fossil]

Patch

[rough cypress]

needs a couple more days, i like it there

[fading willow]

mf's ghosted us on the mf patch bro

[tender gulch]

patch dropped on xbox, go buy one and try it out

[wispy scaffold]

Next week. Go out and touch grass well you wait.

[chilly wigeon]

Why the patch?

[weary hedge]

In Ukraine 1 week is actually 2 American weeks so the patch could be next Friday

[rich finch]

You forgot to say "Get A-Life"

[silver comet]

AAAANNNNDDD STIL!! No update.....

[plucky snow]

If you get into a position to see an emission, dang, what outer god did we piss off.

[rough cypress]

👀

[tranquil jewel]

I need to find the stalker living in Pripyat. This door has blood on the wall next to it that says "Go to him".
Some of the Corps stalkers in Yaniv mention this guy, any clues where he'd be?

[chilly wigeon]

I’m Ukrainian, and as usual, you guys call it a year, but we call it a week

[rich finch]

They're having trouble rendering Streloks high res, high poly butthole for the new goatse event they're adding to his ending, so patch delayed

[jolly stirrup]

Weapons: Saiga and SVU + Gambit
Armor: Diamond exoskeleton w all modules as well
Artifacts: Cavity, Spring, weird ball, hypercube, and bubble

What type of gun is the Texan?

[weary hedge]

My Ukraine wife online said she’s be here next week and 6 months later I’m still waiting so that makes sense

[silver comet]

Right

[royal wedge]

Dnipro + sledge hammer, naked no armor.

[weary hedge]

He asked your stalker loadout not elden ring build

[shrewd needle]

Just so I know...the game starts you off in Skadovsk (where you reach the little fuel station or whatever) where the weasel in CoP steals your artifact to rip you off?

[autumn plume]

Where is that?

[silver comet]

I just knew when they said this week they meant the end of the week....

[bright linden]

Update out?

[tender gulch]

its not exactly related to S2, but I thought it was interesting the gun is called the Dnipro, and that place just got hit with those experimental IRBMs
probably more interesting for me because I found one the day I saw the news

[long jungle]

45hrs and I finish game

[royal wedge]

DLC final boss would not be a problem if I got a rifle and a modded SPAS-12

[weary hedge]

Radahn and his twink don’t care about shotguns

[rich finch]

Maybe you should play the game

[jolly stirrup]

Back in my freshman year of college I went on a date with a Ukrainian girl, she was quite odd and was also like 5 minutes late 💀

[autumn plume]

What gun is dnipro?

[simple shard]

There's gonna be another chernobyl event in here when the patch drops and people realize it doesn't contain their hopes and dreams

[silver comet]

@waxen marten Sorry but can we get any info about update instead of just "soon"???

[trail fiber]

My great grandfather was Soviet Ukrainian or was Ukrainian from the empire back in the 1900s

[shrewd needle]

Anyone?

[bleak oracle]

Northern area of garbage,If you look on the map it looks like a large green pimple north of The Slag heap.

P.S to properly savescum the artifacts you need to quick save 150+ meters away to have the spawns randomize properly, Go in there, Grab artifact, Leave. If you dont like jt reload the save and do it again until you get what you want

[wispy scaffold]

Armor: PSZ-5I Hawk (I like how it looks)
Weapons: Toz-34, Toz-34, Deadeye
Artifact: Weird flower

[rich finch]

[weary hedge]

What game?

[small pond]

You're so cuteeee

[rough cypress]

Patch

[silver comet]

Hah okay

[weary hedge]

On steam Db last updated 21 29 they added depots, yea patch dropping today

[royal wedge]

yeah saw that in the news and thought the name was familiar

@autumn plume Dnipro: https://game8.co/games/STALKER-2-Heart-of-Chornobyl/archives/485877

[rich finch]

Strelok dropping on me, moaning like a cute Asian chick

[weary hedge]

Your welcome

[autumn plume]

That's what they want us to think , they are about to drop an arg for us to search the patch in skiff cavities

[rough cypress]

I wanna join sounds hot and steamy

[small pond]

Whatever

[simple shard]

Strelok dropping hot steamers

[royal wedge]

bro is in his monolith mind controlled delusion, don't join him, its all fake

[quick folio]

Still no patch?

[fading willow]

Strelok was based on Prapor from Tarkov bro Ukraine rips off their enemy

[weary hedge]

Sounds like it’s time for someone to go back to their goon cave

[autumn plume]

I prefer lullaby or cluster*uck

[rich finch]

Never has been

[rough cypress]

Do not shame me or you’ll be coming with

[timid aurora]

Yeah, I like how "Patch soon" turned into almost 24 hours later.

[royal wedge]

you meant, cumming with.

[silver comet]

Jeps. I hate when devs say soon. its useless

[keen path]

has there been any updates yet?

[rough cypress]

came with.

[jolly stirrup]

Yes. A day 1 patch for performance

[weary hedge]

If there’s no patch tomorrow this discord will turn into anarchy lol

[jovial lion]

https://tenor.com/view/kamala-harris-do-not-come-gif-25102112

[silver comet]

Well im not surprise if we have to wait for sunday.

[desert panther]

Yesterday was late for the patch...gold game

[upbeat cargo]

there's a chart for tarkov and nikita saying soon and soon soon and the likes that actually translates it to approximate time for it to happen, and it's relatively accurate

[royal wedge]

this is already anarychy, look how many degenerates are being all hot and bothered by strelok and bloodsucker

[rough cypress]

I’ve been here a week with these boys 😎

[rich finch]

The patch was ready days ago but it's set up to a release timer where every time some days the word Patch the timer resets back
@weary hedge @silver comet

[autumn plume]

How do I use the anomalies to jump to the stratosphere?

[weary hedge]

That’s just what radiation sickness from not drinking enough vodka does to you

[silver comet]

PATCH!

[thick tide]

guys my gtx 780 is making weird noises atm, should i exit stalker 2?

[digital igloo]

Shah's Mate seems like a really underrated weapon when taking on human enemies.

[weary hedge]

No turn the graphics up higher

[autumn plume]

Sh*t cause is a bandit gun

[digital igloo]

Extra funni when I used it to kill the Shah

[weary hedge]

This game is technically anti Ukrainian since it allows you to gun down Ukrainian soldiers

[hazy moon]

What are ideal settings for a 1070 rn?

[rough cypress]

Patch me

[safe niche]

not to play the game

[brisk yew]

Are you serious lmao??

[gloomy citrus]

Yes.

[royal wedge]

Ideal setting: low

[fluid gazelle]

whats with ammo calibers not mathcing damage an pen wise and damage ? 5.45 stronger then 5.56 huh ?

[chilly wigeon]

I have a patch for Xbox!!! ||coming next week ||

[rough cypress]

Yessssss patch

[gloomy citrus]

Finally an artifact that decrease radiation.

I need to look for them more often.

[vagrant mulch]

Not funny

[hazy moon]

More asking for performance boost.

[royal wedge]

Performance boost comes from installing better gpu

[weary hedge]

Maybe when they said patch soon they meant like an employee named Jim patch

[brisk yew]

I'm going there right now then!

[gloomy citrus]

People said they find Compass north of garbage base.

[rancid gulch]

slide me a key

[carmine jackal]

🇵 🇦 🇹 🇨 🇭

[rough cypress]

PATCH

[gloomy citrus]

Any idea on what to do with the monolith tower inside the shelter?

[royal wedge]

Hes back

[brisk yew]

Do you need Svarog to find it?

[gloomy citrus]

No, all artifacts can be found with any detector.

I found it with Bear.

[hazy moon]

If that were an option i wouldn’t be asking. But thank you

[carmine jackal]

patch today, boys. i can feel it in my balls

[digital igloo]

Huh.

I thought better detectors helped find a greater variety of artifacts.

Guess it's just range then.

[worldly ice]

I pray

[fair bough]

I hope guy who designed swamps is already fired. WTF is that

[gloomy citrus]

Thats in CoP.

[neon tusk]

At the begining of the week i have asked about patch, a lot of ppl were like "f u! let them cook few days" well... almost end of the week. How cooking gooing on?

[gloomy citrus]

Hilka has 100 meters and Bear has 60 meters range iirc. But Hilka practically function the same as Echo.

It only beeps while Bear actually direct you to where the artifact is.

[trail fiber]

I have died 6 times in Stalker 2

[brisk yew]

I would say they need to cook A LOT. Most of the bugs are bearable, relativelly small, but it's a lot of them to fix, especially around main quests

[spring laurel]

what you don't like getting slow as hell in radiated waters with flora up to your eyes and no visual clarity weird ?

[tender gulch]

your ass could not survive blight town 😤

[digital igloo]

That game had some good ideas.

It also allowed you to tag along with stalkers to go where they were headed as a sort of in area fast travel.

@fair bough welcome to the zone

[gloomy citrus]

Yeah

[gloomy citrus]

Can anybody help me with this?

The tower emits psi radiation.

[digital igloo]

Honestly, my bigger issue with places like the swamps is the fact that the AI has 0 issues seeing you through all the vegetation.

They really need to work on the human enemies and make them act more human.

[bright linden]

Hey guys I've been asking around but haven't gotten an answer on this
Can you remove and re equip technician upgrades?

Example, I have an mp5 i with the sight rail and it was removed when I equipped the laser, after trying to switch it back, the laser is removed and I cannot equip either.

[spring laurel]

you have like 15 minutes of gameplay or what ?

[timid aurora]

Started a new game and the first artifact I find after the beginning? Mama's Beeds

[trail fiber]

No I am just new to stalker

[lime ingot]

it's probably a bug, reload the save before you came to the technician

[gloomy citrus]

Dying to a Chimera 10 times in an open area.

[carmine jackal]

78 deaths, boys. the zone cares not for the weak

[spring laurel]

nah cause just with the technical troubles the game has i must have died at least 20 times just because i was lagging so hard i could not aim for shit

[autumn plume]

I what anomaly did you find it ?

[bright prism]

I am at 120 at the moment, and I really don't care. 😅

[gloomy citrus]

Gravity

Whirlygig also counts as gravitational anomaly

[wispy scaffold]

Intent. Yes. Actuality as of current state of game. No.

[royal wedge]

change your name from lifeforce to deathforce with how much you died

[frigid hill]

qnku has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[bright prism]

That's the nick of my healer smurf in Overwatch

[timid aurora]

Get wolfed!

[gloomy citrus]

He's old now.

[small pond]

don't talk nonsense with me, it has a ram overflow error that causes the game to crash or reduce fps

[summer ravine]

it's support not healer. ( ML7 is staring at u right now.)

[bright prism]

You are right, yea. Sorry, last time I played OW is ~4 years ago I think. 😂

[royal wedge]

I talk nonsense, it is an apparent satire answer. Sorry if you felt disturbed by my response

[wispy scaffold]

Love how a buddy of mine had Stalker 2 using 42 gigs of RAM at one point before it finally crashed. Those memory leaks go hard

[vestal axle]

if we could turn back time, to the good ol dayssss 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

[carmine jackal]

#🤨┃stalker_memes message

[chilly wigeon]

We thank you, oh Patch, for revealing the cunning plans of your enemies to us.
May your light shine down on the souls of the brave soldiers who gave their lives in service to your will.
Onward warriors of the Patch, avenge your fallen brothers, blessed as they are in their eternal union with the Patch.
Bring death to those who spurned the holy power of the Patch.

[bright prism]

I am wondering why people have 42gb of RAM tbh. I've never seen 6,5 - 13 or 26gb modules
I can't math
5,75gb - 10,5gb - 21 gb

[plucky snow]

So, low on the list of changes and balances needed, but am I alone in wanting a third person view? Over the shoulder?

[wispy scaffold]

He's a grad student that does science bullshit. He has 128gigs of RAM so Stalker wasn't even taking up half the memory but I imagine it gave up the goat from just becoming unstable with so much shit in memory.

[crystal grotto]

which settlement is that?

[vestal axle]

i started roadside picnic finally, w book tbh

[bright prism]

Ohhh okay nevermind then. I thought he had 42gb in total. 😅

[gloomy citrus]

Is this where everyone got softlocked? Talk to Professor Lodochka.

The door wont open.

[trail fiber]

Well I died a few times to that distortion ball thing because I didn't know where tf the bolt was

[gloomy citrus]

Ye but its Optional though? You can just take the emitter straight to Scar or this part affects the ending?

[wispy scaffold]

Effects ending from what I understand

[chilly wigeon]

patch why are you silent? patch has left us

[royal wedge]

patch

[thick tide]

i just got another hypercube wtf?! do they stack

[crystal grotto]

yeah I just went directly to scar when it dodnt open

[lost shoal]

That and Scar wasnt in Rostok for me, but before Lodochas door was the Zalyssia defense bug, entire playthrough before that fine

[ebon blade]

No Spoilers chat is in red. Spoilers chat is in green. Just a reminder if you do not know. You are in the green zone.

[carmine jackal]

offered to show him my man boobs and he still wont open the door

[weary forge]

What ending are most people going for?

[gloomy citrus]

yeah Zalyssia defense is also bugged for me.

[rancid gulch]

no clip

[quick folio]

But they said in the post that the patch would be coming later this week "S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is getting a first patch during the week to come — both on PC and Xbox."

[gloomy citrus]

How?

[lime ingot]

you have to download UEtools that let's you use commands like noclip

[wispy scaffold]

UETools off nexus mods

[frigid hill]

artiktv has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[gloomy citrus]

hmm

[royal wedge]

strelok romance route
I prefer the blood sucker breeding chamber bad ending tho

[sharp geyser]

I say we cut the devs a break because they got a lot going on

[indigo meteor]

tik tok tik tok patches... tik tok tik tok, come for me patches...

[gloomy citrus]

Someone told me to use that to fix Zalyssia defense quest.

[polar shell]

less than 22 hours for patch..?

[rancid gulch]

im not getting myself in trouble just use some "intuition" i ended up having to use "cheats" to fix some stuff, like people getting stuck in doors

[carmine jackal]

patch arrives at dawn. saddle up

[weary forge]

I saw many people choose that route

[wispy scaffold]

Ya it can complete quests for you though I've heard the Zalyssia defense quest requires a bunch of annoying steps to get it to not bug out.

[shrewd zenith]

Oh well. I've got the emission crash bug. I've guess this is it. Was fun while it lasted. 🫡

[covert mantle]

i’ve never gotten an answer on that either lmao

[indigo meteor]

i def would if i didnt pay $60 bucks for a game that even with a good rig is currently unplayable - also have a lot of IRL stuff going on as well, but I am the consumer and purchased said full release game - now they made a promise to precious... they promised us a patch this week, today; friday precious... our precious patches will be here they say, precious... our patches will save us precious

[thick tide]

it felt like they stack, im running across fire again (thermal) and im taking less damage with 2 on me

OKAY IT 100%%%% STACKS, I just got bitten by a dog, and the bleed lasted for 2 seconds, with 2 hypercubes, it 100% lasted longer b4 when i had one

[red totem]

when are they going to fix this game brothers

[sharp geyser]

You so realize they are most likely still in Ukraine right which currently as to my knowledge has a war going on

[royal wedge]

ok milshakemafia well stated eulogy

[rancid gulch]

someone @ me when stalker is below 30 dollars, i missed driffles deal @ 31 earlier

[carmine jackal]

prague

[polar shell]

T-Minus 22 Hours (in theory)

[small pond]

where are your region? I'm in east asia so i'm not sure what time is your dawn time

[rotund blaze]

just get it w gamepass lol

[wispy scaffold]

Just look up how long it took to fix CoP. ||Don't look it up unless you want to be depressed||

[indigo meteor]

what game(s) we buying with this sick refund, during the big sales/

[shrewd zenith]

1/3 (100 employees) of team stayed in Ukraine. The rest left.

[thick tide]

@covert mantle if you want to see/confirm,i can stream it and you take a look

[red totem]

no war in Ukraine. Literally just a money laundering scheme. has been for the last 3 years

[viral grail]

Does anyone know how to glitch yourself into professers ldochkos lab?

[sharp geyser]

So I'm somewhat correct

[vestal axle]

i agree with ellen joe

[covert mantle]

that what i was like when i had two thunderberrys equipped, sometimes it felt like i had much better stamina drain and recharge and sometimes it felt like i didn’t. just feels inconsistent

[rancid gulch]

well i want to own the game, im just a poor lad i was hoping the game was gonna get patched before my game pass ended this month, someone gifted me the gp

edit: also figuring out how to mod the crap on game pass was pain

[carmine jackal]

no patch, no sympathy

[indigo meteor]

patches happening today charlie, preciouses promised us... patches comes today

[thick tide]

but in this case, its 100% stacking, bleed barely last on me anymore, wanna take a look? i can stream on talk 1 if you want

[royal wedge]

good choice fentanyl frank, anime girl profile pics are the harbingers of facts

[vestal axle]

yes king

[covert mantle]

nah i believe you, i just don’t know for sure myself if max endurance stacks 100% of the time. that’s good info to know though because you step on a twig and start bleeding in this game

[weary forge]

Different times Different era

[viral grail]

WHEN PROFESSER DOOR FIXED? I GROW TIRED OF HIM HIDING

[indigo meteor]

did it cost $60 precious?

[thick tide]

im sure there will be youtube videos of this soon, i have 2 cubes on me now, a mutant dog bite me, and the bleed is gone within 2 seconds, i tested with 1 cube and it lasted for 5 seconds, woooohooo now i can drop bandages as a whole xddd

[sharp geyser]

When they devs are good and ready be patient also I didn't need to glitch in or anything not sure why y'all have to though it's really unfortunate

[shrewd zenith]

Well I'm digging the atmosphere of the game. It something else, but as I've got hardlocked from progressing anyfuther and i'm not the only one suffering from "emission frying my PC into the oblivion" bug. I feel like the locked door is somehow insignificant.

[quick folio]

@gloomy citrusPlease adjust the talk time in this chat. 2 mins is too long. Adjust it to just 15 second.

[rancid gulch]

anyways, slava ukraini 🇺🇦 ! i will own the game down the road when everythings patched and fixed and cheaper, was fun experiencing day one with everyone on here no matter how bugged it was ....

[carmine jackal]

🇵 🇦 🇹 🇨 🇭

[wispy scaffold]

The scope of COP was also far smaller then this game if the modders that are digging into A.Life 2.0 are to be believed. Also with steams changes to the TOS for game devs the stalker team is going to be pressured to ensure that the dlc ships on time so that wil reduce there focus on fixing things. Going to be another 2077/no mans where it takes years to live up to expectations.

[grand stirrup]

anyone know if the gun (the one being made for skif) mentioned in the pda conversation between khors and quiet is an actual gun you can find? im assuming the one found in quiet's base the second gun (made for quiet) mentioned in the conversation

[gloomy citrus]

Its up to community manager unfortunately. Not us, moderators/helpers.

[indigo meteor]

youre not in Kansas anymore todo

[sharp geyser]

It wasn't bugged at all for me on Day 1 and I haven't encountered any issues but I'm on console and majority of people I see complaining about glitches are on PC so that might be why

[bright prism]

Just wait till you reach the mid game

[covert mantle]

i just run the weird water and i don’t have to worry about carry weight much, the drunk effect i can deal with because i love the saturation filter it gives the game. i’m mainly going for endurance because i run everywhere which is why i was really psyched to find a 2nd thunderberry, i just don’t know if the max endurance stats stack to a significant degree

[thick tide]

@covert mantle second test, sorry for ping again, it seems theres different types of bleed, theres a barb wire near me atm in cooling tower, i brushed upon it, and the bleed was gone within a second, like sub 1 sec, so it appear's dogs bite has more bleed amount vs a bard wire fence (like you said)

edit: yeah i have weird water too and 1 thunderberry, just 1 basically doubled my stamina regen

[weary forge]

Mol1t is the only mod giving the stalker community any updates on anything

[forest python]

That goddamn door only bugged out when you are on a Quest, other wise its just an other door, kinda mess up you know.

[wispy scaffold]

What? I don't mind the wait lol. I was just answering the other guys question and making a little joke. Gotta learn to lighten up and not take things so seriously my man.

[rancid gulch]

some one tell this guy to take the devs out first before slobbin on their ковбаса

[shrewd zenith]

Testing game on one hardware is probably easier than testing on endless combinations of hardware 😉

[royal wedge]

we know it is soon, and we know it is within this week, maybe thats all we need.

[vestal axle]

^

[carmine jackal]

i can give you updates

[frail geode]

Well I got strucked by lighting and took it like a boss "So did not die"

[indigo meteor]

Friday, which is today is within the week - PATCHES COME OR PRECIOUS LEAVES

[sharp geyser]

I'm past mid game I'm in late game at the moment also @shrewd zenith that's fair

[royal wedge]

no need to announce your departure, this is not an airport

[vestal axle]

i like my developers with bad communication bruh

[shrewd zenith]

@carmine jackal hook me with some update bro

[covert mantle]

yeah thunderberry is a must, along with one artifact for strictly rads, the weird water solved both of those issues for me because i hated having to go through the cycle of resetting traders for more radiation pills along with always being overweight. and endurance is always good just for a general playthrough. i do have to find something better for bleed because that’s becoming more of an issue later in the game

[carmine jackal]

sidorovich dies at the end

[sharp geyser]

What?

[indigo meteor]

bout to finna get hella games with this sick $60 refund on this crazy steam sales - or the game gets fixed and we gucci

[chilly wigeon]

Sunday is this week too

[thick tide]

yep, thunderberry help me a TON, when i run out of stamina, i just stand still for 4 seconds and its back to full, almost as fast as a drinking animation

[quick folio]

That's what I'm afraid of a whole week.

[forest python]

Be me , 40 hours in, still in Wild Island quest, most of the time hunting artifact, Got jumped by entire blood suckers cribs, travel to prypiat to check there is any Sniper suppressor,see there are none, depressed, go back to hunting artifacts, doing quest here and there, got jumped by blood suckers ...... You get the picture

[wispy scaffold]

Well they did say this month as well so going by that Saturday at the latest. Totally not huffing copium atm. >.>

[vestal axle]

rest in chicken leg, goat...

[carmine jackal]

it's very heroic. he saves the zone and kisses strelok while skif beats off in a corner

[chilly wigeon]

Finally I want to do it with my chiki-briki

[lost yoke]

how do i make native res not look like poop?

[indigo meteor]

NORRRR - Sunday is the start of a new week - FRIDAY is the end of a business week

[vestal axle]

btw the new show abt ayrton senna is out in like 20 minutes

[covert mantle]

i was running the weird ball for a while and then i learned when you took damage you actually increase in weight (it doesn’t say that for whatever reason, and idk the duration). definitely wasn’t helping with my always being overweight issue

[forest python]

Marked One??? What the hell??

[wispy scaffold]

Wait wtf that explains so much.....God damn this game had me thinking I was schizo

[vestal axle]

i think there should be a golden orb artifact as a reference to roadside picnic

[carmine jackal]

it was writen in the book of the zone. some of the pages stick together so we have to be gentle with it

[covert mantle]

yeah i found out through a youtube video about artifacts. and then i realized that’s why the math wasn’t mathing when i was always heavier than i was supposed to be

[indigo meteor]

abou to pry those pages open with a old rusty peanut butter spatula

[strong jetty]

when's the first patch coming?

[wispy scaffold]

The spring is a replica of uhh. I think was was called empty or something. So already got that reference in. Would be cool to see more.

[silver comet]

Sunday

[vestal axle]

oh p. strelok!!!! jackpot jackpot jackpot jackpot p. strelokkkkkk!!!!

[spring pier]

Join the club buddy.. we're all waiting🤣

[thick tide]

nah i hate weird ball, it makes you gain weight like you said, and its quite alot per hit, its bad, once you are caught in the open with it, you are probably dead, get hit a couple of times and cant move

[indigo meteor]

today gang or we REFUND AND GET HELLA GAMES ON THIS CRAZY STEAM SALES - dub if they fix it, and now with the sales, a dub if they don't - we STAY WINNING

[timid aurora]

I'd like to know where they said this

[wispy scaffold]

They said this week and this month so Saturday at the latest if they haven't changed plans. Probably Friday so they don't have to work the weekend.

[covert mantle]

as some nerd once said sunday is teknichally the beginning of the week so it would have to be friday or saturday 🤓👆

[indigo meteor]

that would be me, im that nerd ACKCHEWLLY IT HAS TO BE TODAY GANG 🤌

[timid aurora]

Its already 09:46 AM for GSC so they best be cooking.

[fiery lintel]

Hello Stalkers. Is there a way to turn off those white dots on Items?

[vestal axle]

guys, can my blahjjjahajja be an anomaly, theres so much substances on it its probably anomaly worthy

[hardy totem]

Yes, in game settings

[mossy drift]

With the guy running the arena.. after about 4 rounds, is he not supposed to give you another go? Slept a few days worth, did other stuff, came back, just says "howdy" and doesnt give me next round... Glitch, or do i need to progress in story?

[spring gust]

Were we meant to get a patch this week?

[indigo meteor]

yes #📰┃announcement they best not lie to us precious....

[royal wedge]

I progressed my story and the quest updates, some dont.

[covert mantle]

how much you wanna bet they’ll hit us with “waiting for microsoft to approve it sorry for the delay”

[carmine jackal]

🇸 🇹 🇷 🇪 🇱 🇴 🇰 🇪 🇦 🇹 🇸 🇸 🇮 🇩 🇸 🇦 🇸 🇸 👅 spoilers

[fiery lintel]

no there is nothing to turn it off in the settings

[vestal axle]

give gifts to the glorious professor who wont open his door, maybe he will hear our calls and open up to us if we have enough gifts!

[mossy drift]

@royal wedge you get past the round where you get a sniper rifle and take out a group? I am hoping it lets you get all the way to champion stage

[jolly stirrup]

Has anyone else found the infinite money glitch

[wispy scaffold]

Gamepass is already the reason why you can't buy the season pass separately. Would be funny if it was the reason that the first patch got delayed as well. People would lose their minds.

[royal wedge]

yep third round

then I go do something else, specifically ||the SIRCAA quest|| then it updates

killed stage 4 and 5

[indigo meteor]

LOL play with me - play that game and I will 100% refund and get 4-5 games on this sale on steam - but i am letting them have a chance to cook here

[carmine jackal]

i got the patch yesterday. what yous all moaning about?

[fiery lintel]

A-Life 2.0 more like Spawn Life 0.2

[vestal axle]

fr, i got my shi day 1

[solemn wadi]

dev console works for weird nut o:

[covert mantle]

more like the touch of todd howard

[royal wedge]

how come it dont work for my weird nuts 🥜

[coral elk]

any idea when the patch for xbox is released? I am blocked at Extreme Simplicity, Strider is not spawning!

[carmine jackal]

right now. restart system

[vestal axle]

reactive fish ai and new dog models when

[fiery lintel]

can you disable those white dots in dev console?

[vestal axle]

why does yn care bout white dots sm?? only white i care bout is that columbian ❄️

[coral elk]

Thank you

[dusk thunder]

Today I was walking around the zone and suddenly became overencumbered just to find 3 new weapons just spawned into my inventory

[covert mantle]

a gift from todd howard, i got my gift in the form of being struck by lightning

[timid aurora]

Yes, the Christmas Anomaly. This bug needs to stay in the game but it needs to happen VERY VERY rarely.

You listening, GSC? This is a good way to create anomalies.

[marsh notch]

I got mine by having 4 bloodsuckers spawn on me while I was still in the lesser zone

[high gazelle]

hey is anyone aware of a mod or a certain hotfix that can/will fix the convo loop at the chemical plant?

[tender gulch]

what are the complaints of the hour, what have I missed

[zenith sedge]

bro these bullet sponges lmao even snorks take like 40 shots from a 5.56

[carmine jackal]

if the patch dont show you might need to put system in freezer for 1 hour

[coral elk]

I just did, there is still not update pending 😦

[vestal axle]

the usual

[weary hedge]

9am u can download

Im praying ill be able to finish my playthrew after encountering 2 story glitchs that almost ended it all, i feel like im nearly there, they are sending me in the red forest

[abstract hatch]

Same thing happened to me, got 3 shotguns out of nowhere

[marsh notch]

What time zone would that be?

[dusk thunder]

The zone giveth and the zone taketh

[royal wedge]

you missed like 10 people asking for patch just to get the or 🤡

[tender gulch]

run your username by me one more time 🤔

[ivory knoll]

Unfortunate, cant mod or dev tools to turn off the emission on the last mission of the game, crashes me every time.

[vestal axle]

im lowk bouta dip and watch the new senna show on Netflix 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[covert mantle]

just do what we’re all doing and wait for the patch, im assuming most of it is just gonna be quest fixes anyways

[carmine jackal]

patch just dropped though

[final trout]

Still no update smh

[vestal axle]

mid patch, didnt add birch seg scene 💔💔💔

[dusty lion]

It’s 12 am where is the update

[stable quail]

where update

[safe niche]

they will never release a new update they are dropping stalker 20 next week

[carmine jackal]

Birch, my love 🌹

[royal wedge]

they added blood sucker breeding den, check the south of rookie village near the wall

[wispy scaffold]

Bloodsucker bout to get my @weary hedge

[coral elk]

It's funny that you make fun of people asking for an update on a broken game that keeps many of us BLOCKED in a game for which we paid the full price, not all of us are playing it 'free' on gamepass!

[dusk thunder]

15

[graceful tree]

Stalker 20 when

[tender gulch]

its more because, if you own the game, youll know when they patch it

[safe niche]

with the next patch dont worry

[carmine jackal]

anyone done the mission yet where you bang sultans wife round the back of the Skadovsk?

[weary hedge]

Dev said if he will know the exact minute and second of release he let us know here on discord, let’s be serious it’s no sense to ask the gamers community
I know u guys have bugs just fckinn turn off that game and wait,
When dev drop the message here with time and date we will know what’s crackin.

[wispy scaffold]

Add that if your in this discord you will see a new message in #📰┃announcement . Asking if the patch is out is failing to think for yourself on multiple levels

[tender gulch]

while that is true and you are correct..

does anyone know when the patch is dropping???

[vestal axle]

birch is a glorious shyt ♥️

[frail geode]

Today maybe, or tomorrow

[safe niche]

tag the whole discrod server

[dusty lion]

They said this week get outta here with that. Should’ve taken the latter and done it yesterday on Thanksgiving.. giving them the rest of the week to start working on new patches.

[ocean surge]

Will they release the patch today?

[royal wedge]

no buddy

[carmine jackal]

i want her to put a droplet inside me 🌹

[solemn wadi]

white dots? i dont see any
also why is slowmode a thing

[coral elk]

This game should have been 10/10, it's the most immersive and impresive game I have ever played, but unfortunatelly it's broken. Now I can see community being offended if we ask information about patch... they shuold have test and FIX their game before releasing, I'm 40 years old and I F*ing took a week off from work TO PLAY THIS GAME, AND I CANNOT PLAY IT BECAUSE IT AM BLOCKED BY A BREAKER BUG ON THE MAIN PATH, so keep making jokes, this is the way forward!

[vestal axle]

ayrton senna has once won 15 grand prix's in a row!!! look up senna 15 for more information

[safe niche]

unc take 3 more weeks off maybe the first patch will be released

[tender gulch]

yea yea, lets get you to bed grandpa

[dusk thunder]

Nowadays we just have milf hunters like max and franco

[ocean surge]

It's funny to be Brazilian and see that foreigners also like Ayrton Senna (in fact, my name is because of him)

[wispy scaffold]

Should of spent your week playing the original stalker games once we knew this game was broke. May I suggest the Misery mod for CoP? Seems to fit the mood.

[vestal axle]

franco cougarpinto 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️💯💯💯💯

[neon tusk]

Why&

[royal wedge]

dont ask me, the will of the devs eludes us all

[tender gulch]

why are we not getting the patch @royal wedge ??? Answer me damnit!

[dusk thunder]

Maxipad ver-wasleftatagasstation-stappen

[safe niche]

patch when

[carmine jackal]

just spoke with stalker 2. patch is stuck in traffic but will be here soon

[fiery lintel]

Dude! Dogs run always a few meters and that's it! The Map is way to big for those NPC's

[timid aurora]

EVERYONE! Not only is there a mutant parts mod now but there is also a junk mod now. Some of the junk goes for good koupons

[neon tusk]

Nah, i thought u know it for sure ( i mean "not today ")

[vestal axle]

so glad other F1 fans are here fr

[dusk thunder]

My glorious king alonso needs to win more titles

[tender gulch]

i love F1, I am the worlds biggest racist fan

[ocean surge]

I'll only go back to playing Stalker 2 after the patch fixes the price of repairing weapons and the reward for secondary missions (500 coupons doesn't pay for the ammo I use to kill 10 dogs)

[primal ocean]

Patch is on it’s way - it’s currently stuck in an anomaly.

[vestal axle]

first step, get him a competitive seat 😭😭

[fiery lintel]

No way! Zombie spawned right in front of me

[neon tusk]

Admin, are u here? Any info about patch?

[plucky snow]

Does anyone have a visual legend to identify the different factions? I don't always know who I'm dealing with.

[dusk thunder]

Alonso when it comes to picking a competent team 😴

[carmine jackal]

when patch arrives, be kind. he's been through a lot to get here

[wispy scaffold]

I hear if you @ the admins it makes them happy 🙂

[royal wedge]

patch is waiting for the emission to ends

[lost portal]

I found that NPCs are easier to identify after I shoot them.

[ocean surge]

I know how to identify that whoever is shooting me full of bullets is evil and deserves to die.

[spring pier]

I agree. Lots of people are waiting for an announcement of some kind at least. I'm not saying they should rush it but an approx. release date would be much appreciated. It would also stop people from constantly asking the same question.

[dusk thunder]

Freedom good(green), noon good||kinda||(white/brown), spark mid(blue), kill ward, they're boring and mean 😦 and kill everyone else

[silver comet]

How so? I would say its the end. The patch probably arrives in next week. I wont be surprised.

[plucky snow]

Indeed. But sometimes I'm not always shooting. Even if I'd like to identify the bodies.

[wispy scaffold]

Noon
Good
We got a monolith spy in here

[carmine jackal]

🏳️‍🌈 🇵 🇦 🇹 🇨 🇭 🏳️‍🌈

[primal ocean]

These poor devs - they’ll be working their cheeki’s off on the patch and this chat is acting like they committed genocide

[lost portal]

It really wouldn't stop people. Even if there were pinned posts with exact date and time down to the milisecond people would still be asking constantly.

[fiery lintel]

I have not the same fun with a broken game this one as i had with Cyberbug

[dapper cargo]

is there a psi beacon in the red forest im stuck with permanent psi rn

[spring pier]

Well they'd get an answer at least then.🤷🏻‍♂️

[dusk thunder]

Dont be mean to my brainwashing boys, they're trying their hardest.....maybe not all but strider is trying

[neon tusk]

exactly, just make something like " dear mf and all others beasts patch will be during next 1-2days, so please shut tf and stop asking" and thats all, everybody happy. but no. Better give some useless list of windows advice in Steam

[plucky snow]

I thunk its freedom that has been attacking me on sight. Even though I don't think I've done anything involving them.

[vestal axle]

red forest is a f*ck, get good

[ocean surge]

Last time I was so robbed by NPCs in a game, I exterminated the city and revived them to exterminate again

[leaden wadi]

i love how the oddly squeaky rotating light noise from the original trilogy remains in stalker 2, when you're getting psi attacked.

[wispy scaffold]

They gave an approximate release date. This week and this month. That gives till tomorrow. Yet people are still constantly asking.

[weary forge]

Probably gonna get one from Mol1t (moderator) since most of the incoming update news is from him lots of the time

[dapper cargo]

yeah its pissing me off it wont go away and i have to fight a giant mutant and bandits while loosing rapid health and getting jumped by my imaginary friends

[frigid hill]

henronko has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[dusk thunder]

Freedom doesn't really roam much, they're mostly just posted up near and in rostok in s2. Other games idk

[royal wedge]

love that constant psi-wave hallucination effect, very trippy

[arctic cipher]

Hi do I need to redownload stalker 2 because I was using the game pass version to see how I like it and just recently bought th e ultimate edition for pc but I can’t see any dlc options

[digital palm]

we want patch!

[neon tusk]

or, patch not gonna make it this week ( what, to be honest , are totally exp ...)

[vestal axle]

ok guys, i need to sleep, remember to look up senna 15 for information on his 15 win streak

[spring pier]

Honestly that's a big timeframe. 1-2 days is cool in my opinion but a week is too broad.🤣

[plucky snow]

Well then, I don't know. I'm still in the south eastern areas

[ocean surge]

I feel that playing with item repair being extremely expensive is quite unproductive, because I will spend dozens of hours walking in circles for nothing and wasting the potential to maximize my gameplay

At least I think so, after the patch is released I will be able to play again in peace knowing that I am not wasting my time in a useless spiral.

[carmine jackal]

patch is coming today, boys. i feel it in my balls

[radiant musk]

what missions frick up the game? im at the mission where you enter sircaa and i read somewhere that after that mission everything fricks up. is that true?

[neon tusk]

they did not say which week exactly its gonna be, so technically it could be any week, any month, any year
so we are just nerds who are freaking up devs

[lost shoal]

Imagine, They put a post out just to say its Delayed and not this week 🤣

[dusk thunder]

Could be ward, they're similar to duty in some of their beliefs, and they're military/paramilitary, they're also in the first real town/the one with the balloon

[coral elk]

I paid 150 euros for Collector's Edition and I WANT TO BE ABLE TO PLAY THE GAME, of course I am asking, don't act like this is normal TO HAVE WALKTHROUGH BREAKES ON MAIN PATH in a released game! They should have delayed 2 more months and F*ING TEST THE MAIN PATH AT LEAST, NOT RELEASING AN ALPHA VERSION
