I wasted Brain Cells trying to read this
Man this game is feeding me Member Berries by the kilo and I'm gobbling it all up, I love the main story so far.
Bro Givin me dain bramage
There were no points made by you therefore none of em were confirmed
yeah i noticed too... specially as you get close to Prypiat, everyone seems to be on exos... made me tk several times lmaoo
"yall wasted ur ealry life"
The brain damage here is significant
Bros onto nothing 🗣
there hasnt been a single thing youve said, that slightly represents a fact
After sircca the stalkers get a bump in armor with monolith back all the vet stalkers are around trying to take care
Goddamn dude have you never heard of a run on sentence, my god???? You wrote an entire paragraph and there is somehow not even a single period.
We need flashlight and muzzle flash shadows! 😦
has anyone transferred their gamepass save to steam yet? did the achievements carry over as well?
no the achivements dont get carried over but the savegame works
small thing i noticed, why the hell was Skif in the back of the truck in the opening segment?
It’s a stupid amount of enemies wearing them, I fought the ward at the Malachite and every single one of them were wearing exos
Even the stalkers that spawn at the camp sites also wear exos
What the hell man
This is surely a bug
so what's the best ammo against mutants now? AP?
Poopnut, also if you're coming straight from frown town I would reccomend you play titanfall 2 so you can be on easy street
fresh air
His dumpy is too big to fit in the passenger sit
the game preforms pretty damn okay now
He was getting a ride to the zone and the scanner was in passanger seat.
so Il have to replay the game all over for the achievments on steam, right?
The scanner in the zone is more valuable the skif
i got a 20-25fps increase open world since the update 
To the scientists the scanner is way more valuable than a amateur stalker 100%
All the rusbots said we’d never make it, now look at us 2 whole patches, looking good, feeling even better
Same, maybe 10-15 for me... Still stutters once or twice running around more crowded areas
Wait wut, mine has been performing either the same or a bit worse sometimes 🥲, good on you I guess
4070 ti
i7 13700k
16 gig ram
What is your set up? Specs?
Ewww Intel cpu only 16 gb ram?
for me no change at all when it comes to raw performance without dlss and fg trickery
Yeah get ram, it's cheap and helps performance a lot
My game runs smoother
I have a 3080 10gb, i5 12600k, 32gb ddr4. I definitely saw improvements in my performance. Just all around more smooth. High with some epic settings. 1440p. Dlss quality. I capped it at 60 fps.
im on 3070 w 32gb i7 lmaoo and increased 20-25 on avg
Pretty sure i see one mod that fix this issue, until GSC fix this problem, guess we settle with mods
man i just booted in and Gaffer calls me and tells me im an asshole for shooting allies and not to go back to zalisya wtfff
My 3060 runs 60fps on medium now
I'm getting into the ||X15 pod|| underground now, how long is it until I can|| unlock Pripyat?||
You can run shadows at high(not shader), there's no difference in performance from medium to high, and makes the flickering go away on most shadows
xbox patch live? 
my specs are:
7 7700x OC'd at 5ghz base
32gb DDR5 @ 6000mhz
4070 with 12gb of VRAM
Game's on an NVME SSD
and it STILL dips sub-30 from time to time. i haven't played with the patch yet since i'm redownloading the whole game (i played the game using a copy from a certain girl that is fit but now I bought the game legit)
which mission can i drop that stupid emitter from just like the old days? backpack cant handle shi no more
Is there actually a deluxe helmet for the mercenary light suit? https://i.imgur.com/2Fb5pl9.jpeg
Also 50mag for Monolith Viper?
Thanks for the tip I’ll try it out
The game is CPU heavy so I don't think GPU makes too much of a difference at a certain point
something wicket this way comes
Only 12gb vram 🤮
Yeah that’s very funky
I don’t have a problem with fighting exos
My Maliuk tears right through them
It’s just funny lore wise
People just pulling hundreds of exo suits out of their asses like it’s your average pair of jeans
You have to use frame gen if you want frames above 60-80. Just turn on nvidia reflex and the input lag change is barely noticeable
Does your system operates with SSD or M2?
u right, i need to have an A100 for this game 😩
If you feel your cpu could be doing better, try this out. This actually works for both intel and amd. Trust me.
Glad to hear that but seeing a bunch of angry mobs shooting at you in Exoskeleton its kinda scary
I run the game on HDD because I'm not wasting 150 gb SSD space for a videogame lol
i do wish they weren’t so prominent but i’ve noticed they’ve gone down in number for me following The Regenerator quest
5090 minimum also why don’t you have the 9800x3d yet? On top of that only 6000mhz? Should have went for 128gb of 7200. Can’t say you own a pc with specs like that, it’s basically dial up at this point
Bruh take your shit on SSD (get HP 512Gb or smth)
Kingston NV1 or Orico J10 are probably the cheapest known-brand NVME SSDs you can get
@gray mango yes
Egg
so if you hold down p and [ you can turn off all lighting, doing it again turns it back on
I always think about upgrading my 2tb ssd, but I'm too lazy to open my case
i mean system specs wont matter this game still run poorly at best.
A 1 tb Kingston nvme 2 ran me 56 cad it’s definitely worth it
Still no stider ranger station fix?
HDDs are just storages for trash files at this point
NVME SSD?
But NVME goes to M2 motherboard slot
Guh
A bit of a strange bug. If you swap to your knife after pulling the pin on a grenade mid throw animation, just before it leaves your hand, you lose the grenade (as in it completely disappears from your inventory), however if you swap to your knife/etc right after throwing the grenade, you will not actually consume the grenade in your inventory but will still actually throw a grenade that explodes
this is not true. If you have an optimized build and don’t just think your 4060 will be fine, this game is cpu heavy and so if you actually build a balanced pc, it should be running fine. so long as it’s not 13/14 gen i9 try switching from dlss to fsr if any of you want to boost frames, its helped some
No, HDDs are just useless.
id love to see the rig that can run this monstrosity at 120 fps stable with no framerate generation
I was surprised seeing my 7800 x3d pinged at 70-80% for the majority of my playthrough
I have an HDD - can confirm
They should be fine now too, after a bios update 🤔
I mean, I wouldn't say no to an extremely cheap HDD. They're really great for NAS. But having a NAS is very niche. But if an HDD costs more than $20? Not even gonna bother.
just sitting on the menu literally raises your usage unironically it’s actually crazy
you can watch it climb in real time
You'll literally save money and time buying an SSD. Combine all the time u spend waiting for a slow HDD to work and it'll be longer than writing a job application or working 4 hours to afford a $100 SSD
yes
My game runs pretty smooth with dlss, my specs are intel core i9, rtx 3080 ti and 32 gbs of ram
How the new update ???
Ok what with the egg emote lads??? Some one hungry???
I wish i can take my question back 
The one thing doom is got over any other game they dont skimp on the frames. i dont mind low frames that much but ppl thinking system matters is just on some different kind of plane these days.
I’m not going to lie this game does need more optimization, trying to play this game on even recommend specs would be a nightmare, I had to overclock the vram on my 7900 gre just to run the game at mostly high settings and sometimes match the mhz of my monitor
Eggs will conquer the chat (again)
There's no need to operate the system, you have SSD
If you want to storage stuff then you have cloud storages, no need for anything else for that
I use my 5tb hdd to transfer my games back and forth when I don't want to fully uninstall it and lose any mods or edits. Faster to transfer the game to ssd then dl and install it
yea, some people are fine with dlss but for some they’ve said fsr runs far better with less stutters or random drops. it seems like your rig is fine. @sturdy jacinth oh absolutely it needs optimization however i’m also aware that it can range from running perfect to running decently enough on even lower end hardware, it really is just a cpu thing imo
i have a m2 drive and its a complete waste. i got it on discout atleast but it does nothing better then a normal ssd drive
@sturdy jacinth not THAT server💀💀💀
FSR ultra quality runs better than DLSS quality for me, but definitely see more jaggies and aliasing.
AYO!! @rocky orchid nvmes have way faster writing speed then ssds
Check write/read speed both for SSD and NVME lol
Something wrong on your side if you think that way
I like my set up because it uses both: Cloud for redunduncy and rollback, NAS for local storage. I even have tape for long term archiving.
Do any of you use dldsr in the nvidia control panel? It helps. My monitor is 1440p. I set dldsr to 1577. Then use dlss quality. It works really well.
Ill check it out
I’m just tryna find me a freak Fr 😔
yea that’s also the trade off i’ve been seeing. But for some it’s a nothingburger sacrifice they make in a heartbeat. I think it’s pretty much gonna fall onto what the person wants to do. There’s really a lot of settings you can use to fine tune it. I don’t think many are willing to mess around with their spec settings though which is fine but it’s really not much effort if you’d rather be playing a game
Is this game online co op
You just want to get laid
Its alright
Add eggs, or else
Yeah agreed, it really comes to personal preference. A lot of people don't mind or care about aliasing, and a lot of people don't mind losing 10 fps as the trade off.
No no it’s much different lol I wish it was that simple
stalker is suddenly instantly crashing during shader compilation why ?
verify your game
The zone does not believe in you
[Answers came with a Price] is still broken...lwonderful
if u in the underground area in cement factory it hardcrash there
I just finished downloading it
Egg

is there something like a double or high jump introduced to the game? i have no idea how to climb into one spot
Man, game keeps sneakily spawning broken guns into my second primary slot
reloading is still bugged... lol
Ahh. Egg hath returned.
There is a vaulting mod on Nexus
who is replying with the eggs? 😰
This is not super Mario
Egg
Eggman
I have 29 eggs in my fridge, I need one more to complete my collection
Since we had egg emote, maybe some one make a mod that replace the bolt with egg for shjt and giggles
||🥚 🍆 🍳 ||
It's the ecologists, ya know. The eggheads.
The ultimate Meme mod. A true chart topper.
SO MANY EGGMANS
( bolts in ogsr mod look satisfying
Peaches peaches peaches
Peaches for me
Millions of peaches
Peaches for free
That's very
of you

Any way I can have Richter spawn in the Water Tower for mission "The Boundary" ? I tried reloading an earlier save, fast traveling and what not. The guide in Yaniv is also missing.
Peaches come from a can
They were put there by a man
In a factory downtown
did they fix saving zalyissia with 1.0.2?
Slava Ukraini
pisseggs tho some real zone food
egg react this message if you like eggs, and also to receive a tip on how to make crunchy sunny side ups
seems like it yeah
I know eggsactly what u doing 👀
Can the sopmod use the 416ar extended mag?
Egg react this message if you’re submissive and breedable
NOOOOOOOOOO
Yes and m203 grenade launcher as well
Can someone make an omelette out of a person which reacts with egg emoji?
to cook a crunchy sunny side up, make sure your pan is smoking hot with oil in it. once you see smoke, turn the gas off and put your egg in. with a spatula, baste the egg with the oil so that the top gets cooked. should be done in less than a minute. remove egg from pan, put it on a plate with paper towel. dab excess oil off.
kinda bs that the patch didnt include nude sid after 2am. Trash game. Garbage. Disgraceful even.
Why can’t stalker do the flip a switch update where it’s just on the game you don’t have to download it
another patch? these guys knocking it out of the park
I have been PRAYING for the sidorovich maid outfit update
🥚
s3x with sidorovich update
The weird nut doesn't spawn in the fire whirl inside the cooling tower
WHat came first? The bolt, or the nut? 🤔
the egg
when is the bandit radio patch
Now me go - no more eggs for today, me zzz
laser attachment is only visual right? no way to go for canted view right?
Me
Just crusing by and I see we are still egg posting today
Maybe in future update
why is the new patch 123 gb???
its not, it probably triggers file scan for repairs
react with egg if egg and maybe some egg too
stalker 3
2034 is gonna be hype when we're all 30-50 years old
Stalker 3: egg from chernobyl
🥚

Bah, GameSpy, begone!
You should be dead in the '10s!
Strelok: I’m a legendary stalker, one of the first to safely make it to the north
Scar: I’m a gun for hire who found out I can survive emissions, a super natural ability.
Degtyarev: I’m a military agent on a secret mission into the north.
Skif: AN ANOMALY BLEW UP MY APARTMENT AND IM GONNA KILL EVERYONE IN MY WAY TO FIND OUT WHY
Scrambled is superior
MONOLITH OH MONOLITH
if with cheese and chives, no contest
why did they give tourists delight jiggle physics?
Yep sound about right,Skif has that angry mailman energy from Newvegas for sure💀
How many medium radiation emitting artefacts can you safely equip with a single liquid rock?

Loaded up my save before the update, and 10 guys spawned then died right away, and it has been fine ever since
The arena is so fun I’m glad it’s back
mushroom mushroom
anyone is getting input lag with a controller ?
i found a thunderberry and sold it the other day and now i just found out endurance = stamina 
I wish it was a infinitely repeatable quest
11GB just for some missions bug fixes is too high. Don't you think? The update methodology is not optimised.
I might be dead, but you will never erase me
Does anyone know the door code to the "sheltered stash" that's in the same building as the journalist stash in the Chem plant region.
Hamster and his guard still FALL over and die when they get into town hall during Zaylssia defenese, its NOT FIXED YET AGAIN 🤣
I don't mean this in some kind of snide or rude way, 100% sincere. What did you think endurance meant?
With these two updates is the game worth grabbing now
No app has it by now but I like your attitude
I'm stuck on the mission answers come at a price I'm supposed to join a assault team but everyone disappears and I can't progress wtf
who cares I'm just happy we getting patches at all lol
stop egging the chat nowww
I wish it wasn’t progression locked, tho. I’m the kinda guy who wants to do every arena fight back to back.
Especially as someone who waits to do a lot of the main quest stuff first and do side content first.
since it had like a lightning thing on its icon i assumed it was just something related to electrical protection
Its not even technical fixes? The memory leak is still present 😬
rip
Why don't they just give us a option to restart quest
The last update changed the performance and frames as well - I went from high 80-110 down to 60 and now stuttering as well .it was working so well for me , but . Now I have some issues !
I love monolith they are chill
DIdnt even fix Zalyssia still, Hamster and his guard still die during it, also Gaffer doesnt talk after 2nd wave, STILL BROKEN 🤣
Hello eveyone im currently doing mission "deafeat faust" and i loaded save and all of the sudden i cant move and look around to left and right?
I need some eggs
Devs really tried to gaslight us into believing noontide shouldn't be KOS
Just checked, for radio protect artefacts it seems like Maximum = 3x Medium radiation protection and Medium = 2x Weak radiation protection
spoil me on noontide. i just finished sircaa
they good or bad?
genuinely love the final talk with ||strider|| it really puts a more depressing atmosphere over it than when the clip showed up in the trailers. Ontop of that the Ukrainian actor is so good, really great story beat
Gaffer just did a bunch of dialogue after the patch zalissya is saved now but he says i shot some of the people so I’m banned from zalissya now?????? I’m confused since I didn’t kill anyone
My game softlocked before that directly after the down under mission, the doctors house won’t spawn in
Zalyissia doors opening for anyone after patch?
damn, that’s really unfortunate. It’s a really great story moment and i imagine it will be sullied a little by the way progression has been :(
stuck here atm
Praise the monolith
@eternal garden yeah it sucks but honestly I love the game I love the atmosphere and i love the gameplay, not everything’s perfect but This has been my favourite game that’s release for years. I’m more then fine with looking past things
Does anyone know if the fun clear sky agro underground entrance exists?
i';m honestly just glad that there's a decent stalker 2 at all
can't say the same for homeworld 3. waited 20 years for that game and it just died.
Yea you have to load an earlier save.
I’m way to far now to go back just for zalissya I’ll just do it in my next play through
Didn't expect a new patch so soon
it really is, the conflict within noontide and their relationship with their own happiness and past is so neat and i love the way it ties back into the themes of roadside picnic and i figured it would since there seems to be a lot more direct references to it. While it feels nostalgia baity sometimes, i genuinely think it’s done with good intentions instead of “remember this?” and it offers up closure on some characters we haven’t seen since their first appearances. It just seems like a love letter for both fans of the games and the source material.
It's still not perfect. They told me to show up in the assembly hall and nothing happens at the moment.
yup, todays patch feels wonky in that regard
patch on monday confirmed
wow the scene with faust is so beutiful
is taht patch for a patch ?
hey for anyone who has finished the sircca questline, if afterwards you go to zalissya, you'll hear them call for help, but when I arrive there they're already completely destroyed. is this a known bug ?
Dude right...the homeworld campaign was eh.
Im actually trying to do that mission now, but when I get there no monolith, only a couple of people outside and the door wont unlock for me to talk to Gaffer.
Man after leaving the dang sircaa base and now doing the noontide base and what not i have not been able to repair anything yet, like everything is broken as i keep crossing my fingers hoping to be able to ever repair anything again, its like the longest stretch ever of not being able to get a fricken repair in
Is anyone here having trouble trying to talk to the doctor at the end of the quest in search of past glory, if you are and you know how to fix please help
Why do some locations have a circle around it and others do not?
Monolith is just too strong, no point I’m trying to help them
Guys, how awesome would it be if we could mod the multiplayer mode into a BR mode across the entire map, imagine trying to win while watching out for anomalies
yeah it seems like zalissya is just F'd no matter how fast you get there
Look in the building where the ward was
on mine nothing is destoryed I just cant start the sidequest becausae the door wont unlock for me to go in
the devs really expected us to feel bad about space hitler because she's feeling lonely, killing an entire planet just to prove a point
I cant enter it, there's no cutscene trigger either. everyone is dead and everything is destroyed
Okay, reloaded my save with mods uninstalled and it works. Zalissya is save. 
Monolith best faction
Guys I just came back to Zalyssia and ||looks like almost whole village was killed|| i can't access the door to right next to the tower. Anyone had this? Is this a bug or I screwed something up?
if you get the compile crash let it finish, even if it starts spamming you with error boxes, then you might need to open it 3 more times before it finally fully loads, then, you should be able to load every time without crashing
Yeah thats what we are all discussing right now, its pissing us all off
hamster still dies entering the shelter on the hill so that's great
Does anyone have the steam build code for 1.0.1?
anyobody having problems finding the weird water artifact?? am i just blind or it it bugged?
are you all playing with mods that are having Zaly problems
gonna try zally without mods rn
same here i will try without mods too
Hmm might still be bugged out for some people then. Did you have a save before you get the emitter
After Leaving SIRCAA mission when can i ever repair my stuff again!?
I love this glitch I got infinite stamina xD
what emitter?
i went to the ship at the swamp. made a run for it
The one at wild inland with the professor.
does attaching an underbarrel grenade launcher affect ANY stats of the gun? Recoil? Aim speed? etc?
Took mods out and tried it, nothing changed, going to verify integrity of the game without the mods and try it after that.
??? i didnt think the ship had a repair guy. shevchenko?
there's a tech there, yeah.
Hey, I'm new guy
anyone getting crashes after this new patch?
at the start or during playing?
Whenever happens that Red storm? yes
when continuing the game from the main menu
oh....emmmmm, that's complicated, so, when loading a save file...?
its clear as a sunny sky, the last 2 patches are broken. maybe they fixed a few things but the excess violation crashes are still there.
bro does sqints artifact just not spawn for anyone else?
This game is so infuriating.
do the carry weight artifacts do anything for u guys? literally can't see the difference when I have one equipped
yeah. I was playing fine before the patch, downloaded it and now it's throwing up errors after it crashes. I've tried verifying the files but no luck
Yea it enhances the max carry weight. Works for me without problems.
how can i install the SDK?
I'm refunding this is wack, literally worse than cyberpunk at launch
The second update in 2 days? W devs. I have faith you'll iron out all the problems. Actual GOT dispite issues 
I play in the console, and for me it crashes when that event storm starts
anyone elses game instantly crashes as soon as an emission starts?
try and do windows updates, driver updates, maybe even setting everything to low initially, remove all mods, restart your PC, try and load your save then, if you're on x-box though, God have mercy on your soul 
its about quality not quantity..
lmao they fixed on the edge quest but too late for me
Yo I just got the cuirass exo and I have to pay 71k to repair it, wtf are these prices, you guys just leave it broken?
I've heard tales that this is to do with a specific artifact causing that to happen. Someone else will know more here. I saw someone state you need to reload before you got this artifact. I just can't remember the name of the artifact 
Anyone else having an issue where the game randomly switches to mouse and key even though it’s not plugged in?
main story soft locked again after only being able to do 3 quests, fml. I guess i wait another 2 weeks until its patched, then I get to progress another 3 quests.
its the bolt artifact. I dont have it nor have i encountered it so i think its a separate issue
the psydogs are the worst part of this game. seriousy what the actual fck were they thinking
My saves are in the correct folder yet I can't see any saves while in game, pls help
Nooooo Not the one you find In Electric anomalies? I just picked it up yesterday noooooooooo. I thought it was weird water, Now I member
Hey so after the whole "science man tries to activate Monolith, everything goes to shit" bit Gaffer is calling me to Zalissya and now they're all locked in the big building and won't let me in, is this normal or is this a mission bug
Should be fixed after the update. Are you still in combat?
stalker 2 good while watching or listening to a youtube video?
this is a common game breaking bug. follow these instructions and it will helphttps://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1gz8kia/zalissya_defence_guide_using_uetools/ it takes a while and its a pain but this worked for me and others.
Not entirly fixed, if u get hamster to come back he just dies upon entering the main building
Oh yeah that reminds me about zal. I need to report a bug here about that first zalissya Misson.
So I pay hamster to give up supplies. All is well. I walked them back to the old ward outpost. And as soon as they step through the door. Him and his bodyguard die instantly. Anyone seen this?
honestly this game is unplayable with this emission crashing game. nothing i do works. tried reloading the save files but as soon as it happens the game just dies
No but I hear gunshots in the distance, Also thanks I'll look into that fix.
yeah hamster just tried to kill me too, had to use console to get the baddies to spawn
Damn the devs are working hella quick with these patches
@waxen marten is the weird bolt crash still not fixed? cant find any info
reload a save before you looked at the weird bolt and examinined it. clicking it is fine equipping it I think is fine, just do not right click and choose examine artifact
think theres also a mod that fixes that if you dont wanna reroll a save
Yo can we make a Petition to make bloodsuckers cheeks bigger? 
I thought it was because of some mission, but when I loaded a save before that mission, the emission started and my game just instantly dies
2 patches in 2 days?? Nice
i never have thats the thing.
Nvm. I didn't pick up the weird bolt Phew I picked a artf that was many weird bolts stuck together. Endurance + bleeding
Freedomer spotted! No curvy blood sucker booty for you. @paper abyss well thats a new one then.
It even spawned for u? XD
I guess lack of this artifact saved me from more trouble
would you guys rather go for wear&tear 20% or 1kg less weight on a shotgun?
@icy idol did u encounter the bolt prior to the crashes?
do you find yourself struggling with weight or repair costs more?
Weight is always a struggle when you collect all the zones glizzies like me
I'd prob go with wear and tear myself. 1kg is honestly not much in stalker
W developers, Gaffer defends Zalissya on his own after I failed the quest and gave up 🔥 love yall GSC | NVM they immediately got mad and said i friendly fired
Yes, but I tried a load before that, when I was heading towards the tornado, it was about to happen a emission and then boom, game instantly crashes again
Nothing, verified files and tried again without mods and still same shit
i think im going to give up on the game until more patches come. Its sad cuz the game outside the bugs is amazing
Jeez, I will not share my Weed with you then... Anyways... BLOODSUCKER BOOTY 🍑
That last update caused some serious bladder issues with the npcs lol.
They'll get it. In time. It's like the nimble stash clear sky bug all over again
Where they just randomly pee anywhere for random as hell reasons?
I never saw this one before
best part of the jank, they should keep it
Me telling myself it isnt a bug but a Anomaly as the Game falls appart more appearantly... 
Even though its a side mission, it wouldnt be that big of a deal if it didnt have a huge impact on the game
Just keep calm and shoot things. Thats all you can do
Gooning Fr
which guns does the 8x scope fit on?
It should tell you on the scope, no?. Basically snipers
Sgi 5k from prypiat stash. Only there it exist
Where you find the 8x
Good question
Yaniv, gun trader
Are a lot of players being soft locked in the story progression?
seems so yeah
if its a pso it fits on the as-val im pretty sure
if its western it fits on the m14
It fits on the emr
anyone knows how to open the door of the warden building in zalisya after the monolith attack?
What’s the best faction choice? I’m sure it doesn’t really affect the gameplay except other factions having bad relations
Does anyone know if the missions in Zalissys were fixed with the new patch?
I just checked on Xbox and the damn door still won't open.
I personaly had 3 already so yea, story is VERY broken
Where can I ask a spoiler question?
here is fine, this is spoiler chat
Is there any plans to Make the cutscenes ultrawide for us who have ultrawide setups ? It shouldn’t be hard considering the cutscenes are all in engine
average game experience 2021-2024 ongoing (having to wait months to a year till a game works)
Dlcs and additional content not included in the experience
Eh. GSC still basically an indie company. They do more than Ubisoft ever would that's for sure
Could someone simply explain what happens when u finish the story? without spoilers? Like is it just freeroam or whats the point
Ah okay, it's a minimal spoiler anyway but I just finished escaping SIRCAA and chose to go with dubny not the wards, are we able to go back to SIRCAA ever?
it’s a miracle the game even came out tbf let’s not act like it’s easy to dump everything you have for a sequel then relearn it all in a new engine. Then bankruptcy and war etc. @quartz crest you need to load a save before the final act. Endings are very absolute if that makes sense. @ebon valve You can return to the area but i’m not entirely sure if there’s anything worth looking at there
ewdoes anyone elses game stutter when they use something from the quick bar?
Wasn't that problem fixed with patch 1.0.1? I was referring more than anything to the bug in which ||the Monoliths attack the town and kill everyone||
anyone know what causes the random weapon bug? i had 5 sdvm show up in my inventory just now
U know whats the worst? Those r bugs FROM ORIGINAL TRILOGY
Im pretty sure that their "ue gsc" is just the xray 2.0 slapped onto ue5 xd
Woo second patch and Strider is still missing so I still can’t progress the main story
Can't sleep there? What happens if you take the wards?
who's spamming pregnancy emotes 💀
Don't shame the pregnant men in our midst
anyone elses game running much better after the 2 updates?
Most people are under the illusion that it's another AAA game made by another such company. When it's more like a group of dedicated Chad's making a decent game. Then ofc the actual "bigwigs" of the industry have ripped everyone off. So people are understandably upset at years of that from all of them, Franchises ruined etc. But Stalker 2: Has it's teething issues sure, but Its still mostly Stalker. And you just can't say that for other games.
Sidrovich??????
npcs spawn and their inventory path is set to your inventory on accident. If you run into someone carrying only a pistol in an exo suit, this is why
@ebon valve also the same, sircaa will be attacked, you just defend if you’re ward.
Is the On the edge mission still broken? Fought the monolith attacks and went to the house and nothing happening
Anyone heard if there are any plans on making stalker 2 "play anywhere" for Microsoft? I don't want to have to buy the ultimate edition twice, that doesn't make sense.
Is model competitor revolver literally just the normal rhino with a built-in picatinny?
I thought the selling price for artefacts have been increased, why do i still have the same low prices?
No point saving Zalyssia they didnt fix the bug where Hamster and his guard just die, still didnt fix ANYTHING LMFAOOO
Ok, so even tho Hamster dies by door, and I still save Zalissya, but then leave the area only to tell me I failed the mission despite getting rewards and achievement. However, after conpleteing a few main missions, I get told Zalissya survived and Gaffer and Warlock are back from the dead. Yet, no tech or trader. This game truly is an Anomaly
I get its a small team of chads.. But if i set up my own "mechanic shop", and shit in peoples oil-pan, that doesnt mean im excused just because I'm a small company.
@eternal garden can you come drop monolith propaganda in off topic please I’m trying to convert people
sure thing
so when a random pack of enemies spawn there is a chance that there gun spawn in my inventory?
Did you end the mission?
Anyone having issues with legendary artifacts? It's been 3 days searching for weird water artifact, never spawned for me. And this afternoon even the weird nut doesn't spawn/show where it has to be.
Does anyone still have low prices for artifacts, i have a plasma artifact and can only sell it for 3600k
Are these updates supposed to fix the main quests? Cause im still stuck trying to find Richter
🏳️⚧️
deflation in the zone
Yeah I’m still stuck on Zalyssa… great
Of course) but I think how they respond to that, with speed is key. And actually get most of the things working. (Except the main Zaylissa one an emissions one that keeps breaking)
If Bethesda made this game the same way. They would just gaslight us and say "there is something wrong with the community" and fix game 6 months later
Hornets Nest or an invisible threat which should i do first?
best bet is to just skip it for now, seems too bugged and might be baked into your save
I think the design and ideas are good, it's just lack of "fine-tuning" thats needed (in my opinion)
AND NVGs WHERE ARE MY NIGHT VISION GOGGLES
Does anyone know if the veteran or Merc is better one? between the 2?
If bethesda made this game, they would still be on the x-ray engine of 2007
if bethesda made this game the gunplay would be so bad the game would flop
Nobody in their right mind plays Fallout games because the gunplay is actually goood
if bethesda made this game, it would suck ass and not in the kinky way, coughstarfieldcough
I tried loading a save from before Sirrccaa events to see if the world would generate diff and help with Zalyissia, IT DIDNT dont waste your timme LOL NO MODS
Does anyone know the code to the locked door at the scorcher tunnel near malachite?
no one plays stalker for its gunplay either tbh they play it to get lost in the zone
Starfield wasn’t this broke at launch. I should know, I also played it lol
Are you playing with mods and also; should i do **Hornets Nest or an invisible threat which should i do first? **
I agree. Though they are on their way with all that a bit. I think whoever playstested them just wasn't a true stalker. They obviously didn't get far 😂
I AGREE. NVGS and master difficultly please!
@hidden hawk I would have been fine with it if Stalker 2 was still on 06 X-ray engine. You could fit half Ukraine in that engine for the same gigabytes
the gunplay has been received as very good in Stalker however, you can't say the same about Fallout games.
only thing good about starfield is the pirate sidequestline, that is it
1.0.2 already? that was fast
NO MODS Also Hornets Nest somehow progresses on its own if you go to the Sphere, even though you havent accepted it or at that part in the story, Hornest Nest is bugged too,
You can pick up the emitter without the mission entirely
Anyone else have the bug on the main mission : The Assault on the DUGA. .destroy the portable psi installation, as soon as we push forward and enter through the gate my characters health immediately drains all the way down and I’m dead and it won’t let me progress, is there any work around with this, please help!?!?
Lol but do i have to make a new game slot to make the update work? For the artifacts
Reason: Bad word usage
What if the night vision goggles are the friends we made along the way
think your maybe getting hit by the ai gauss sniper rifle?
As much as I want to walk that far, I'll take the graphical improvements
yeah we need something harder than veteran, even that feels easy compared to the old games
ANYONE trying to fix bugs, DONT Reload before Sirrcca events, regenerating the world did nothing its all still bugged, save your time
life if you could toggle lasers
This game has caused nothing but losses.
Only if they spent this much time fixing the game rather than having some bot censoring everything we say…
Not even Cyberpunk which is probably one of the worst launches I’ve ever seen was this broken. What a disappointment.
so in other words give it more time to simmer
Don’t worry I’ll be ur friend we can commiserate about that one time we almost saved zalissya together 🍻
I’m on Xbox series x
@zealous goblet , it’s right when I take a first step in, if so where the hell is he at and what you do to get past the front entrance?
i found a burning building, I'm sure thats all that is though just a burning building with nothing scary inside it nope
cyberpunk was way more broken stop yapping, now yall just being dramatic
Im a based monolith fan, you know what they say about men with big rocks... big socks !
Not it wasn’t. I never got stuck at a mission during my Cyberpunk play through. Got stuck at two already, and even after 2 updates they can’t seem to fix it. It’s a disgrace, how is it so complicated to fix a mission?
on todays episode of my games broken but i act like it isnt and yell at others
this isnt related to stalker
Anyone else have the bug on the main mission : The Assault on the DUGA. .destroy the portable psi installation, as soon as we push forward and enter through the gate my characters health immediately drains all the way down and I’m dead and it won’t let me progress, is there any work around with this, please help!?!?
#1: you have obviously never worked with any program in your entire life if you think it's not complicated
#2: crying for the sake of crying. white name, green leaf, you literally joined this discord to screech.
Imagine being an adult and complaining about video games in an online chat
I’m a developer. If I’m fixing something I’ll test the entire flow to make sure the feature I fixed it’s actually worked. Makes no sense that they fixed single issues in the mission but never tested it to completion. Stop making excuses.
cyberpunk was a less enjoyable experience but you were capable of finishing the content without modding it, my only complaint tbh
you work on some gay ass CRUD nr 2137
Is there a reason to use Expansive ammo over regular? (didnt mean to reply lol)
mutant
you have 26 messages here and not a SINGLE one is positive
you literally joined this discord to complain. embarassing
funny thing is when the game is perfectly fixed and running like we all want it. there will be some people to say they liked it better at launch
Imagine being an adult complaining about people complaining about a videogame in an online chat
When a game launches it's usually in its worst state
I feel like starting a new game would probably fix it but that’s just too much time to get back to where you were before
Our first update. That sounds like they are giving us a complete game soon
I’ve been in this discord for days and I’ve been quite supportive, maybe learn how to actually use the search feature.
But this was my last straw, just going to stop playing the game since it’s the second time this week I load a previous save to try completing this mission.
you're leaving? god is good 🙏
🙇♂️
thish ish my last shtraw guys... gr.. i'm done!!! 😠
Patch is live on Xbox.
what about calibers? is it worth converting the kharod to 545?
dude just give it time. i get it tho. but itll eventually be what we want it to be
anyone know how to get fsr 3 frame gen working? not working on both gamepass version and steam version
Does the pripyat permit have endless uses?
I always do a save and F5 i mean Stalker is a F5 Sim
just found this artifact "lighting rock" seems very good tho ngl no bad side effects
What's your video card?
Oh shit did gsc just lose a customer? Oh man they're not gonna recover from this
“Only if they spent this much time fixing the game rather than having some bot censoring everything we say… “ DEVELOPER TAKE LOL
scheduled or not them posting a patch on the weekend is good but also take the weekend off GSC yall need a break
Is zalissya fixed? Can I save them yet?
That’s what I’m going to do, probably need a few months before I can pick it up again since game is literally unplayable for me as much as I try. I’m a very patient guy, completed Cyberpunk in its worst state, completed Starfield at launch with all its issues…
man i love patching the entire game for the third time
4080 super. This issue has been noticed on a range of other cards too. Here's a reddit forum link with more details about the issue.
https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1gwqc25/fsr_3_frame_generation_does_not_work_stalker_2/?sort=confidence
the amount of people who dont understand ppl wanting a finished product and defending a broken one is insane. btw i want to like this game just as much as the next guy. yes i know itll get there eventually but to just sit here and pretend like shits a diamond in the rough in this states crazy
Hope we get a Knot Artifact Mod
Can someone stop complaining for 2 seconds and tell me of they fixed zalissya. Thumbs me up or something just let me know
matter of fact no
bruh I'm on a 4090 and refuse to use frame gen in ANY game it just causes unnecessary ghosting on everything and if you have a high end card like a 4080 there should be no reason you need frame gen tbh.
Does the pripyat permit have endless uses?
Not it’s still broken you can’t complete it. They fixed the issue of the monolith not spawning but after you kill them and go inside the building as they call you nothing happens.
On my way to test it.
Yeah, that's a weird bug. I have a 3060 Ti and fg works fine. Might have to try dling the latest updated fsr and dlss .dll from their websites and put it manually in the Stalker 2 files
So many treating this game like it only has one playthrough...be patient, enjoy what we have, it only gets better.
Cyberbug yes but not Starfield. I have to say that Stalker 2 runs fine when it runs. I had nothing so far where i could not complete a mission. Performance is nice on my system 6900XT/5800X i get 90fps with Native AA FSR what is the best AA when you ask me
This game is getting uninstalled 😂 that's wild
Zalissya is not required for game completion tbh
It's interesting you mention this- I think theres a problem with 40 series cards. My dad is using a 4090, while im using a 3090 and I seem to get better frames on epic than he does.
skill issue
Good for you but there's plenty of people who want a high refresh rate experience. Sadly because of this game being very cpu limited and having memory leaks we need frame generation. Some people also need fsr 3 frame gen to even get the game to work.
I’m stuck on “Subtle Matter” mission it says I have to clear out mutants but I killed them all?
Well it’s literally a mission that, if failed to complete you literally lose an entire safe zone in a quite important area of the map.
It’s not a main quest but it is quite important still.
Does the Kharod have an extended magasine attachment?
Nukes mutants
Guys, after this recent my game menu/texts are broken. The placeholder/localization identifier os showing instead the actual text. Anyone got this issue and a fix for that? Could be a mod that I use the caused this issue? https://imgur.com/a/AUYGSpz
The Map is way to big for A-Life but maybe they can do something to get that running. Sad to have those spawning NPC's. I even found out the spawn radius
is there any "in game" way of learning about the different types of anomalies & mutants, or is it just a wiki job?
I witness npcs spawn in front of my eyes everytime I play
whats the point of that when you can have a shotgun
Verify and repair files
the map is not too big for a-life. good grief. second good job today GSC on the hotfix.
Game should have the “Early Access” tag https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/6554-ED29-FBDB-1612
just found this artifact "lighting rock" seems very good tho ngl no bad side effects
reload a older save
@brave flint its called learning
I understand how to do that for the upscaling techniques themselves but how would you do that for the frame generation without destroying the game. I saw someone made a mod on nexus to replace dlss frame gen with fsr 3 frame gen and just ended up breaking the game for many.
Shotgun has expansive ammo aswell
yeah but where is A-Life? Should i call 911 and ask
the saiga already reks mutants tho
It turns out I forgot to clear the electrical anomaly on top of the building
that's not what i was asking though, i'm playing the game as i'm meant to, i'm just curious if there's going to be any sort of datafiles .etc
but thanks for the patronising useless comment ❤️
to you and @rigid thicket there are updated fsr dlss and intel upscaling on nexus mods called updated plugins. you dont have to get them from the vendors website @fiery lintel a-life ssimulation just needs to be handled different because of unreals streaming tech.
A-Life is going to take some time to properly fix, just give it some time
@brave flint no there are no data files
Ok? Bro you asked a question it Nukes mutants that what it do more damage vs flesh what do you want from me 😭😭
True. BG3 pretty much did that. Sell it at $30-40, call it Early access for a few months, fix the game, less people complaining = win
@honest wind The updated dlss /fsr .dll is just a newer version than what the game has now. You can dl them from their websites and just move those files to stalker 2 location and overwrite the current versions
I'm calling the cops
The guy responsible for the A-life in earlier stalker games went to fight in Ukraine (IF I AM NOT WRONG)
nothing lol, im just wondering what the point of having it is,,, ive barely had a need for AP or Expansive yet
fine for me. i just say what i see and what i feel
got ya I'll try that and see if that fixes the issue. Thank you @junior current also. I'll lyk what happens. Either way I hope they fix this issue in the next patch. It shouldn't be a hard fix for them.
It’s like 3 min walk from slag heap to get to center zone 🤷🏻♂️ I’m not saying this isn’t stupid AF and so wish it wasn’t a broken quest, but I’m not gojng to wait weeks to keep playing because a starter hub is broken
read the comments on it on nexus sso u understand the install path for the games plugins folder.
It really does, I haven’t stopped using the saiga ever since I picked it up
its sad that the saiga outmatches the once supreme spaz12
Also, try reinstalling your nvidia driver again, sometimes that helps
I already put 24h in this save game and I want to complete this mission, in this save. God knows when I’m going to have time to retry it. I prefer just stoping playing it until they fix it.
Ya my plan is to just roll on with it and then reroll the game when they actually fix it with a life etc
I mean damage wise... it should be SPAS. but you cannot beat the reload time of the Saiga, ive gotten screwed so many times reloading the spas while the burers repeately take it out of my hands and interupt my slow reload
thats the point damage output will always outmatch raw damage
Pretty much everybody is going to want to start over when ALife bugs are fixed anyways so just use this time to explore and try to not to focus on the main story
how come the patch has to do the 123 gb first ? lol is this a thing both times now?
why is game patching 123gb if patch is 8gb dafuq?
I noticed on the 12v bulat suit there is a greyed out upgrade circle where the night vision goggles are mounted on the helmet, i think based on the fact the circle is there but not selectable means that it isn't removed entirely and may be planned to be added further down the line.
Can you zoom sights?
it has to open up everything, make changes, then close it all back up again
@quartz crest no
i found an infinite vodka glitch
My weaponised autism with the Maliuk does not make me fear them 
Not like the main story is some award winning emotional drama that can't wait a couple more updates anyways. Exploring and doing side quests should take up 20-30+ hours of time
if only it worked irl
I downloaded the updated plugins. Which file is fsr 3 frame gen specifically? Would it be dxil.dll?
How the fook does the Hilka detector work????
the smaller the number gets the closer you are to the artifact.
why are these patches making me patch the entire fn game
if anyones wondering how: after speaking to richter in the boundry he will give you a bottle of vodka if you try to talk to him again, but it can be repeated an infinite amount of times (you'll need to wait for him to finish the dialogue before getting another one so it isnt super fast or anything)
Yeah sorry I'm not at my computer right now lol hopefully someone here can help you out with that specific folder location
neat but I already find enough vodka in the wild. Also, id rather it work irl.
what about the detector with the screen? is that one better? The one that displays the anomalies
true but its kinda funny though
it has the best detection for anomalies and shows exactly where the artifact is, but the hilka can detect artifacts from the furthest distance of all the detectors.
A-life update when
In that case does anyone know where the dll for fsr 3 frame gen is located in the game files?
@rigid thicket I saw this when downloading the plugins. I'm just not sure if amd_fidelityfx_dx12.dll is the upscaler or the frame generation.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace\DLSS\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64 (nvngx_dlss.dll)
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace\Streamline\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64 (nvngx_dlssg.dll)
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl\Stalker2\Binaries\Win64 (amd_fidelityfx_dx12.dll)
Maybe here, a nexus mod mentioned it
SPOILER
Boys what to do to prevent Hamster and his bodyguard dying on Zalyssia after they cross the door? I thought it was fixed lmao
Try harder, sounds like a skill issue tbh
folks, i think zalyssia is safe for once for all, gotta test it by going to cordon
so yeah the update helped but not nearly enough memory leak is still present and some gunfights are still unplayable due to having 5 fps, ffs this is unbearable
Did they fix the lab door not opening on wild island?
I just updated and hamster died to doors
Thats the neat part. You don't.
yeah i just tried to play and literally just walking into a house threw my shit all the way down to 4fps lmao 🥴
he doesnt matter, hes a rat and deserved that door
such a losers dying to a door. good fix btw
alr what am I doing wrong? I keep trying to farm the chemical anomolaies for the liquid rock but even after emissions nothing respawns
Is There a nightvision Upgrade for any of the head gear options ?
He was, Hamster?
Ok so possible spoiler? He disappear from game after zalissyia defense?
i just cant finish the game every 30 mins i gotta reset and load shader on a 4090 and a great cpu its sucks but it is what it is
it's crazy to be honest... i've got to defend against a monolith attack for a quest and litterally those 10 guys are making the pc feels like a potato
No night vision in the game
Ah, it was a pesky poltergeist this whole time 🤣
I have the spas but I haven’t tried it yet
OK I am looking at a guide for disabling the beacons in the swamp, but I have not talked to anyone in camp icarus yet as they won't let me in, any help is appreciated
i hope so, im exploring to another zone to see if the quest fails or its saved for good, when im back ill check
Duga mission is so unbalanced omg
anyone else's game have any new issues after the 1.02 patch??
This is the way
the frequency of the lag got diminished but the intensity of it goes way up now
Devs need to fix the ai and how they react to things still needs a fix because their reaction speed is slow
ZALISSYA SHALL SURVIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2 minute slowmode is way too long!
@limber moss for hte first time, i got a framedrop. like, my game went to only 2 fps. couldnt get out of it, so i restarted the game. didnt happen before 1.02
that's what iv been dealing with. crazy lag spikes and it bugs out my discord audio also had one crash.
devs need to own their shit and say "sry guys we sold you an early access where nothing is currently working as it's supposed to... too bad i guess ?"
j
Pay 7k to repair rifle, sells in mint condition for 4k.
Like GameStop
Any idea to fix the crash on startup in Geforce Now? Am away from PC and want to play for a bit on my laptop 😦
Why is the door to the main building to zalisiya still locked? For the “On the edge mission”
Still alot of npc glitches especially with main missions i keep having trouble interacting it doesn’t let me
my game over all hasn't been too cray with game breaking bugs with 1.01 but with .02 these lag spikes have been more intense going to drop some graphic setting and hope for the best in the mean time lol
What building are you talking about?
Why y'all care about zalissya just let that place die 🤣😭
i'm almost sure it won't change a thing, such a drastic impact on perf can't be resolved by switching to medium or low settings
Hamster enters door and die....
Respawns are on a timer not after emissions
They really did a good job with making Hermann an annoying Karen and making Squint a dislikeable POS
real talk but I can only hope lol
Thats how my hamster died too. There is in fact a limit on how hard you can throw them
Economy is broken. I recommend sell cheesing m995 to make up for it
no no no, those dont exist here in this discord. low fps, poor optimization is A MYTH
I Gona start a fresh new game and we will see if that's help.
Lmao like how people were saying the patch update was gonna be 100 sum gigs but it's 8 gigs 💀
to solve the problem with economy, there need to be some kind of loot we can get on mutant, misceanellous objects in the word that we can sell, way down prices for repairs and upgrade, and getting the rewards for quest two times up at least
does the new patch break any mods?
it broke my penos
Are the og stalker games worth it? Are they fun to play?
PowerSpec B748 mobo; 3.6GHz Intel i7-12700K (20 cores); NVIDIA 2080 Ti; 16GB DDR4-3200 RAM: 750w power
54 hours of play, only 2 crashes, haven't seen anything I'd count as a "bug" or serious glitch (some models clipping through some textures, particularly entity models, but nothing horrific like say FO76 on launch). Maybe I'm just lucky to have a solid 3 year old rig? I dunno. Game seems pretty fine to me. It maybe could be adjusted to put a bit less load on infrastructure (assuming that is what you mean by "optimizing") . . .
Why wouldn't they be?
Chat, it is better to have 1 morbillion of dollars or 1 concordillion of dollars? (Egg)
Only a 2080ti in 2024? If you haven’t sold your soul to play video games you’re not a true gamer
Pomor's quest seems to have bugged out for me.
Also the Poppyfield doesn't effect mutants it seems.
Cool, it's still glitched lmao
Egg
so good you just discovered what optimisations mean, it's not just about the game working correctly, it's about it working correctly on a very large pool of system with differents parts in them
Would you suggest following the story to a certain point before breaking off exploring. I’ve been playing for about 7-8 hours, my next mission is to get to garbage. I feel like I’ve done quite a bit of exploration but haven’t found shit for guns.
this
Devs should make it snow for Christmas
Get a stronger pc you don’t need optimization
they should put flash drives and keys in jackets first though . . .
I found the reason why Zalissya can't be saved is the last objective in mission On the Edge is not checked with green mark ✅ .. But instead there is a sign like this ⛔ but with grey color
brother my config is superior to his but i've got 100s of crashes and lag spikes it's not about the config
Egg
fix memory leaks its been 10 days
the traders are taking stuff at very shi tty prices in Garbage. should I keep hold on my stuff and sell it to other traders or do they all just give crap price?
Skill issue
is your system chock full of malware? Is it fragmented to bits? Is your hardware worn out? Do you live on the boundary of a neutrino flux anomaly that is causing oscillations in your CPU signal transduction? Do you have bad karmic energies?
Just escaped from the swamps. That was INTENSE. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
Patch 3 tomorrow 
i believe all of the above sir, it's the only explanation i've got right now
Peter.. the horse is here
define "superior". And if the word laptop is in your reply we can all have a good laugh.
wtf are these reactions eggs and horses
Eggs and horses
1080ti🥱🥱 8 gb ddr3 amd atheon II cpu
How long is the timer
Egg
I was literally F5ing every second while escaping from the swamps. I had only ONE anti-radiation pill left. At least, there was no second chimera near the end of the mission. The chimera was driving me nuts. I managed to run past this monstrosity after my 10th attempt. This location was very intense, but I don’t want to come back here ever again lol.
dictionnary is your friend, superior is not a difficult word, you will get it enventually
And no bozo i'm not on a laptop, but your mom is definitly on my lap though
I have a picture and short video to explain that. Who can help where to share this with the developer?
They need to optimize alot more and i crashed using their discord on my Rocket league 💀
Idk wait about two game crashes and probably that long
for me they dont happen that often
Eggplant
how important is showing ward the unusual PDA?
there are lots of people on the spectrum in this chat
Perfect! Then they’ll for sure be respawned by the time it happens
i think their just dumb or something, i could be wrong tho
Yep! Pretty annoying
not fixed yet
Mol1t, its time to open the faction channels please
they are opened
btw
Wanted to say that
ty goat for the info
Admin has entered the chat
uhhh fairly,,, depends who you want to side with and if you want the gun or not
The egg plan is working!
❤️
Don't forget horse
I am the mercenery boy, but generally side with Stalkers. wanted to show them PDA to get some good points with ward for now to get the gun but if push comes to show I will stand with stalkers
It will be available on a DLC i'm sure of it
One issue i have is strider not spawing in extreme simplicity >:[
Any reason the Xbox update for 1.0.2 is 112 GB? Vs the small download for pc?
brother we have many questions get in line
Ha cause Xbox is for poo poo eating babies
sounds like the xbox tax
I'm going to play all the games in the trilogy (available on Xbox) before going back to the 2nd one, which hasn't even had its patch released on Xbox.
eg
Brother in christ pc update is 123gb
(i have no idea why im egg and horse reacting, this one dude started it)
You must have a knock off Xbox or something cause the update is literally 8.41 gigs
I started egg-reacting yesterday for no reason, then it became a meme
Is it? I read somewhere on here that it was around 14 GB
dont forget the 
Well turns out Poppyfield can freeze my game.
TIME TO COMPILE SHADERS FOR THE THIRD TIME TODAY
No it's not. There is like 12 gb of an update. The rest are verifying files and making sure the update is installed properly. Stop acting like it's that bad
was only few gb download on steam for both patches. idk i have gigabit internet so i dont really pay attention anymore.
I have small question, did devs ever say when or will we get update that adds like more loot items and harvestable mutants?
remove reactions.????? i think so
In prypat straight up stalkin' it, and by it, haha, lets just say my zone
my game keeps crashing now on load screen...
Yes thats true but it says 123gb so i guess its verification
Average anomaly player
he is right though this would be one of the ways to balance the economy
Bro how are y'all getting 100 sum gigs for the update mine was literally 8 gigs
No idea, but there are mods like https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/445
and
https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/389
I just got a bug where no matter what save I load up, I'm stuck in place, I can look directly up and down, and my legs are moving but I'm stuck. This happened after ||Faust dropped me off of the Dugan aray||
imbalance the economy more like. It should remain that theres no loot from mutants. If there was loot, then every stalker would be killin mutants and it would be a mutant free zone.
I dont know, it says 8gb before install but when i click its 123gb. Might be due to my stalker being heavily moded so it takes time to verify or some shit
restart your game, and/or reload and redo the fight
why would you want to harvest mutants lol
Mutant meat high in protein
do you guys know where can i egt the saiga drum mag?
because we are phycopaths
is there a way to escape sircaa other than that fking portal
Well mods do cost space so that's probably why
no it's not the point i'm making the economy is so harsh that engaging with the repair system/ upgrades, is a negative to the player. Bringing more income source would make it so that we don't have to mod the system out and play with it
game suddenly became 3 fps. why.....
Exactly, I know it's annoying it looks like that. But it's more annoying seeing people shit on a standard update from no reason. Honestly I'd understand if this was cyberpunk at launch. But now people are just sitting for now reason lol. If you choose to play the game right now knowing the game is broken. Why are you moaning now they are fixing it.
I was thinking on downloading these, killing mutants just feels pointless and waste of money mostly i just run from them. holy this chat cooldown timer is long
That's kinda the point
I use these two mods. They work great.
sellable loot and was in the trilogy, actually gets a bit of use out of killing mutants
If i see ANYONE eating mutant meat the last thing theyre gonna see is the barrel of a saiga
Yeah I think STALKER 2 wants you to avoid mutants instead of fighting them unless cornered.
just lower the difficulty if you havent figured out how to survive the more difficult settings
Wow
Your telling me you’ve seen a blood sucker all cheeked up and haven’t craved their meat? Wild
Great job developers. Keep it going. Haven't seen a game like this for 15 years
it's always on the player side that the fault lies huh ? Nice thinking
@ancient frost pls give me some of your copium pills
@summer sluice game is litterally unplayable for me since second update
100% skill issue. They even buffed the economy for players with yesterdays patch
What are you on about. I'm completely fine... the zone isn't calling to me. You are just paranoid. Could I please have a medkit
Horse egg pregnant
Welp....I'm stuck in a building because an ai won't move out from the door. Rip
have you tried killing them
thats what i had to do, even on veteran the fight wasnt that hard anyway
Yeah i dont really mind, im just happy that i lived long enough to have new stalker game. Modders will fix it
Well the Monolith music isnt playin in Zalisya for me anymore since today's patch. I fixed it a week ago with UE tools and it was still playing until today. That quest still bugged for some people?
Safe zone 🫠
Can we add the pregnant stalker as an official emoji to the server??
Anybody elses game keep crashing when an emission starts? For xbox Series X/S
did PC Game pass version get the 1.0.2 patch??
I hope you guys know that the KGB did actually try to make a computer connected to a human brain and they were looking for radioactive people to do it with
IM TWEAKING
I enjoyed the challenge of Gamma and how you can be true stalker getting any little piece of loot and make your own food. really immersive trying to stay alive, hope to bring simular experience to stalker 2 with modding I like the challenge, new stalker 2 is just run from mutant and blow off guys head with makarov. (no hate to stalker 2 i love game)
Pregnant horse egg emoji
No but the point I am making is lower difficulty economy is a breeze already, back in the day in higher difficulties for games it wasn't just a case of enemies absorbing more bullets, you had to play the game in a much different way to survive, which is great because it's like learning how to play the game again on higher difficulty levels. Avoid mutants where possible, don't try and repair anything, it's survival.
So is the Zalissya defence quest still bugged? Hamster dies for me no matter what I do now, is this intended or funky behavior still?
brooooo my game just crash when im trying get into the rostock....rx5700xt
Just because ur coping doesnt mean other people are. And no its not "always on the player side that the fault lies". Only talking about this topic. YOU are the only one saying always. I know u have a skill issue cuz i have 123k coupons and higher tier gear/weapons all upgraded 60 hrs playtime. Maybe drop the ego and admit you need help instead of blaming the game
yeahhh,,, i think a 3060 equivalent is basically min spec
Dude we are living in different times too compared to how it wad back then. 650 buried in one patch a week after launch? In older times you'd be waiting months for the tiniest thing to be fixed. This patch just shows how far GSC has come from then. We should be happy we aren't waiting years for it😂. Of course I hate shirty games. But God damn. At least they fixing an already good game. This is better than cyberpunk at launch. At least you can still play it. Sorry about typos
I always been curious about S.T.A.L.K.E.R, has it always been this difficult and depends on how you play and survive?
what difficulty? and where in the game are u?
stalker 2 feels relatively pretty easy compared to the trilogy imo
you are litterally retarded my friend
your logic is not working
wrong use of the word cope
I actually wish they made the difficulty even more challenging
does this patch fix the weird water
energy drinks and lynx SVD. boom peak gaming
Oh nvm that dumbass music is back. Dumbass town
Guys, I see people having a shot gun with blue camouflage. Is a mod or is part of the game
wrong, glutton, rpg, mac 10 and a 15 stack of energy drinks
but im playin at 120fps everywhere, lol
People complaining for a game that they bought to the day one is the funniest stuff ever
i haven't seen weird water yet. nor the weird nut in the fire tornado. i've been twice each after emission.
Not sure if it's the pre order bonus or the deluxe/ultimate edition.
It was around the MK ultra era
we are 10 days in though
you must climb the fire tornado
Kinda mad hearing that when I'm playing on series s. Just shows how pc optimization is put last compared to console cos on series s they've really optimised the game good. Doesn't even feel bad for 30 fps. No graphical glitches, stutters or any other pc problems.
🐴 🥚
Well, this is the newest graphically intense game on the market... what did u expect, even on one of my builds I cant push past medium on an RX6600XT, meanwhile my 3090 is doing amazing
I have second question Is there ANY clear sky gear in the game? like at all
yes i know where it spawns.... but i take it there is a new bug with the spawn rate.
why are they still dying...
#📸┃screens_and_videos message
the optimization on pc is pretty eh tbh. Im running a 4070 ti and 14900kf with about 110-150fps on everything maxed out, but the game still stutters sometimes and drops my max fps to like 30 until i restart
Yeah IDK whats with the optimization. For example I have 4060 8gb and ryzen5 7600x, 32GB DDR5 ram and game installed on SSD M2 disk and playing stable 90FPS all the time on max graphic settings (1080p monitor tho - might be why)
have you seen videos of cyberpunk cranked up to the roof ? because it makes stalker 2 looks like a ps3 game
wouldent surprise me, GSC seem to not know what the hell they are doing when it comes to making and fixing this game
Still complaining, and still 60 eur gone!
I mean, yeah, i played cyberpunk cranked up to the roof, but compare the cyberpunk budget to GSC... of course GSC being s smaller studio it wont be as good, cant expect perfection at every corner
Average DLSS performance user comment
THIS scar dude is MC of prypat?
"The advanced artificial intelligence system will compel the stalker to utilize a tactical approach against numerous enemies, challenging and keeping even the most hard-boiled players engaged. A-Life 2.0 life-simulating system builds a holistic live"
~ stalker2 website
or, hear me out, there is not a guarenteed spawn after emission. like cs and cop artifacts did not always respawn in every anomaly field.
most of my artifacts have just respawned after like an hour regardless of emission
Hello, does anyone else have problems getting into the Chemical Plant base?
Well i lied a lil bit. It is obvious why console is optimised more. Xbox paid for most of the game to be made. Sorry but pc will come last in this stalker game. Not because I want it too. I used to own a pc, but because xbox has paid for publishing, licensing and it being first party on their consoles. Pc will always come second now when it come to optimisation. I hope the game get fixed proper. Everyone knows pc is the best way, but most people can't afford it. So why bother about the people who can until later.
1.0.3 tomorrow with A-Life alpha
total double speak it doesnt even mean anything
I think the problem is everyone is mad that a game stuido with like a 1/4th of the budget and even less staff then major stuidos, AND dev'd during a war. you cant do perfection. Like, sorry, but holy hell, yall gotta let some stuff go. The game is good, I enjoy it, it has its shortcomings, but overall its really good, and people will wanna compain about anything
yea 1.0.2 seems to have broken some things cuz now i have a weird cube floating around my hands, #📸┃screenshots_and_videos message
am i missing something or game is unplayable when u get to mision to fight in duga??? i get 1 shoted by sniper anywhere doesnt matter if i hide or not also they are not alerted
Where do I post bugs and issues?
I mean Im chill, for me the optimization is just fine, everything runs smoothly and maxed out which I expected I would have to lower settings or run it with DLSS
ah rare cube anomaly every expensive
Well it seems to play very good for me .... but i have spent 6 years playing fallout 76 😂
I had this on 1.0.0 it's a vodka glass you drank from
Go to the bottom most entry of Duga. Like the 2 entrances are guarded. But you gotta go to the most South entrance that's not guarded at all
but why is it here and how do i make it go away?
ill try that i hope some wall is broken tehre
Probably when you cancel the animation by some action, restart game/reload save, or load the save before that happened
Is there no loot in the yantar mobile lab or did i miss something ?
I'm glad dude. I'm planning to move to pc very soon and I think xbox have caught onto that unlike PS. nobody wants a console anymore cos it's false promises. So waht the best thing to do. Make their first party games run best on what why already have until people move onto computers. And who owns that... Microsoft... everything is an xbox... that's all you need to know for the next generation
It's an Entrance without broken wall. You'll enter very close to some buildings. Also is it the First time or 2nd time going to Duga? Cuz holy hell, be prepared with load of ammo.
I don't know what they have done, with the update, but the AI is borked. It is shooting through walls, cars, trucks with wpin point accuracy when they can't see you at all.
Med stims are not working properly, it sometimes goes through the animation and you get no health.
And can you please stop the insane spawning... Clear an area, 1 min later, everything spawn back again...
I know a-life needs fixing, and that is fine, but how about making the spawns so insanely quick and on top of you... please!
2nt time after i got the supresor thing device also i got sniper so most are 1 tap
nothing more satisfying then getting a nice string of headshots with a pistol ADS
Well. What awaits you definitely won't be 1 tap. Be sure you have a lot of ammo
Average Sniper damage snob vs mag dump enjoyer
Was hoping this most recent patch would fix crashing due to the weird bolt
it did not 
restarting the game fixed it, thanks
one of the guards on the towers didnt die after 20 head shots with sniper ( got about 250 sniper ammo and 200 shotgun )
if you ain't playing on the hardest difficulty, your wrong
any other d12 shotgun fans in here? or holding down the skiff pistol for as long as possible
hm, side with dubny or the ward at sircaa? Ward seem like the only halfway competent people around but sircaa is obviously messing with bad juju while the various groups around the zone would prefer it remain the way it is more or less anyway
ay should i kill this col borodulin dude or spare him
Ignore the most obvious entrances. Also, I don't think 200 shotgun ammo is enough to get through everything. At least for me it wasn't but I suck at precise aiming lmao
skif pistol best pistol
dunno how much ammo u got lol
Why? The game is broken right now? It will eventually be an epic game, but right now, it is just frustraighting
Aye me too. But if I think about other single player games. The way saves work is saving codes and scripts from your current save file before updates. So even if they do update it. Your save is still corrupted because it include old files from files that are pre-update. So if you want the best experience. Best bet is to wait until the game gets to it "final proper updates before dlc and so on" to enjoy the game bug free so to say
doesnt matter but wont say more without spoilers. just know everyone sucks
Oh well I always have been curious if there was like a difficulty setting, but now I understand that I need to know what to do in situations and adapt
enough
but i mean is it worth to slaughter this dude or should i accept his hunting game
there are the three difficulties you choose at the start and can change yeah, but thats about it
The patch completely bricked my game, unplayable now
Edit: Console player
skill issue
Yeah, that makes sense. I saw a nexus mod that just straight up deletes the weird bolt from existence, may try that and see if I can actually play again lol
My advice to any stalkers here is to not get the weird bolt or inspect it.
that has got to be the worse spelling of "frustrating" ive ever seen lmao
Do not care 🙂
I know about the 12gb update but I got a second 8gb update on xbox. Anybody have a clue what that's for?
read patch notes lol
wish the compiling shader process was faster. with these 2 patches we have been lucky enough to get already the game is playing alot better
They added more instruments so we can start a band 
did they fix memory leak ? i still get only 20 ,min of gameplay and it crashes 😭 its not really good experience
Lol I know that. I picked it up but I'm just gonna start anew in a few months to be honest. I've spent so long scouring the map I'm drained out until the worlds fixed. Everything felt like a chore more than exploring. I don't want explore any more chores until I know the game is fixed and working proper😂
I think that is the least of peoples problems, and it is something that will only get worse as games get more complicated and demanding
apparently it helps the shaders compile faster if you set a framerate limit cap to help free up your CPU... the compiling shaders screen runs at thousands of FPS which takes up a lot of unecessary power
whats a good limit?
120 for me
The shades are definitely down to all textures in the game being high definition, no matter how small or big. This game really took UE5's demo for graphics in forests and made it a game. It's easy to see when you walk up to plants or trees or foliage or buildings
Yes the textures are top notched. But optimised? Throw that shit outta the window
game just crashed 3 times in a row, lets go
im not gunna install mods for first play thru i feel like thats alot of ppls problems
even after the patches when I go to Zali there's still no fighting happening just a couple loners outside the station and the doors are locked. anyone got a fix for this yet or am I still waiting for another patch?
Game is amazing when it works tho
yo real question where can i get me a guitar in game
Props for spelling frustrating in a way I've never seen before
a bed to the left of the usable bed in Zalissya
theres one on the bed next to the first bed you get
Very true, but damn, having grass and foliage rendering in 2km away. Building textures at 10x whenever you aren't even near them. Geometry at 100% for landscapes. No wonder the cpu is fucked. It all seems like simple optimisation but they can't seem to figure it out. Maybe it's ue5
Bro this guy Richter is everywhere what the heck
is scar a meth head, or is he just mentally retarded? Everytime I see him in a cutscene he does some wacky shit
Just had to fight off 3 bloodsuckers before getting to Durga and then had imaginary fausts try to kill me literally couldn’t leave because of that
he's got retarded cuz of emissions poor dude
i can put my loot in any random chest right ? i dosn't disspaer
All the box stashes that are at hubs are linked and you can put whatever you want in them.
So I have found a huge armor called "HEAVYEXOSKELETON_MERCENARIE" and "sid_items_NPC_HeavyExoskeleton_Mercenaries" in the description. It seems a bug or they forgot to rename it because I CAN RUN WITH EXOSKELETON armor LOL
They have to have a team working on ALife bugs, a team working story bugs, a team working on optimization. Then they all have to put it together make sure it works at same time. I think it's going to be a couple months before it all comes together
And any stash you come along. But don't take that to heart. Sometimes things go missing
Did the patches do much?
yes, melee attack have longer range now
Definitely don't put shit in their really valuable. Just stuff you wann sell or get rid of. A lot of stuff I've put in stashes have just disappeared
Greetings
wonder if we'll get a mod that adds a radio akin to fallout
I just have a pile of unique weapons and one of each armor I've found so far in my hub stash. Also a bunch of random crap that I threw in there for no real reason
wheres nestors stash?
yea i kinda dont like how many unique weapons there are and wish there was a bigger loot pool
Definitely keep it there dude lol. Don't risk shit in this anomalous zone. You never know what anomalous bugs are waiting for you
So I just found the Cuirass Exoskeleton, I love it but I am unsure if I’ll wear it because I also really love sprinting, is there a way around this?
Did the new patch fix Zalyssia?
ah I love that the patch didnt do the one thing I needed it to, get rid of bubbs pda.
Only the Monolith exosuits (diamond & ruby), and the Freedom suit (Liberty) can be upgraded with sprint.
Diamond has the best stats.
Hamster still dies from doors
Monolith best faction too bad u cannot join em in this game :(
im the crane at the end after you talk to richter you get it
heavy sigh back to the SEVA I guess
does anyone know if the patch fixed any bugs with the arena?
something tells me someones gonna drop a bicycle mod or sum soon @eager carbon pain 😦
bloodsucker on a bicycle
In a sense yeah, if you wann start again. In single player game where scripts and code are saved for every playthrough. There's only usually one way to fix that. To restart the game before any code of such quest is processed. All file saves with old codes and scripts will probably not work. But maybe, try it out and see if it works, if it doesn't the save file is old and basically 'corrupt'
i mean if you joined Monolith your game would go from a free roam videogame to a movie where you watched skif do mindless zombie things and eventually get killed by a loner
you dont need him to save zalyssia theres still gonna be warlock to trade there
Yes but i wanna save as many stalkers as possible...
Is hamster still trader after quest? If hes only for flavour then i might reconsider
i searched the entire crane and i cant find it
You'd still have to eat, sleep, pray, take over zones. Just play Gamma, or CoC. It gives you a pretty decent Monolith experience.
why would i ever want to play Gamma, do you think im a virgin??
Yes you're right lol
at the end at the tip of the crane look down
Freedom seems like a neat faction
LOL
Are there any attachments for veteran?
So Fora-221, Dnipro, or Kharod? Which is considered the best?
Dnipro, really good pen
zalissiya is so useless after the monolith they lose their guide, technician, trader and like all of the npcs anyways
Hello everyone
Understandable. Execution by doorframe it is
kharod because it has underbarrel option
Anyone had issue with talking to the two guys in red forest in quest Dark Times find information about the doctor?
#SaveZalissya
I have the “Decider” unique Fora and it seems honestly just like a reskinned AK it’s not bad but it’s not what I was expecting
Is every patch going to go through the 130 gb to update?
Gauss Rifle, Kharod & unique Saiga 12 from journalist stash are generally the top choices.
Dnipro you can convert to 7.62. A lot of the stashes I've found have the ammo but haven't found a trader for it
like the fact i paid him 6k to just die?
its running 31fps now
im personally a fan of the Dnipro right now, ammo is super common and the pen stat is great
Okay i might as well say this to people wondering.. if you are wondering if your broken save will suddenly fix from this update. No it won't. Save files work on code and scripts before the game update. Especially in a single player game where it doesn't work on servers. The causes in your save file is basically corrupt on there is literally nothing devs can do at that point. You have to start the game before the save doesnt include outdated code and script. So for most people. It will be a start new game. But for some people it will be a carry on in a buggy game.
enemies spawning on you is getting real old gsc this isn’t Destiny 2
why use Dnipro when can have PKM?
honestly not a fan of the 762 upgrade, sure you can stack up on a bit but its the pkm ammo no trader sells, also adds way too much recoil- rather just use the pkm
Devs need to get thier sh!t together. Ive now lost 10 hours of progress to saves i had that the game wiped. The game is running worse than ever. Im putting it down for a while before I start to hate it
||wondering which option to choose, ward or noonstriders||
not being able to guide to Zalissya makes travel through Lesser Zone very frusturating. The closest camp is Rookie Village and the Cordon has a massive walk you have to cross anywho so you either take the south route or the north route, either way its not convenient
The Gauss Rifle is in the game???
Guys, is ||Solder ||bugged in the mission "||The Hornet Nest||"?
I ||spared him before||, but when|| I save him from the Monolith soldiers the objective "help solder" doesn't complete nor can I talk to him.||
Yes? Monolith carry them.
I can get down with that. I switched to the sofmod ar416 because the good good ammo for 7.62 burns the gun up quick
What you playing on?
Yeah this is getting annoying
ignore the help objective and you can just continue on.
@sick hornet yeah its fun to experiment with the guns later on, the vector with AP ammo is actually really good too. My end game loadout is dnipro, bolt action, gauss, PKM, vector, and revolver
Up near Pripiat I assume? Cause I killed maybe 10-15 of them near the cooling towers and they only had Vintars oh and SVDs
green leaf get out
But I don't really like the 556 against mutants unless you have flat? Rounds and I don't come across a lot of them. Even the AP 556 seems lackluster. Might just go back to the trophy since I got the 30rd
yeah it look it going through a big book flipping the pages slowly, placing the new changes in order.
is it just me of once ||sircaa mission|| is done game becomes simply frustrating due to lack of ||safespots and new village locations||? I dont see it as a challenge, I see it rather then as a frustration making me pffff more and more
If its the tankier mutants the bolt action does a really good job, 2 taps poltergeists, bloodsuckers, durers, controllers
They're rare. Depends on your game progression. If you can glitch into Pripiyat, you can find one in the Olympus (?) Theater. Scar also carries a unique one that was developed by Clear Sky, it holds 99 shots without reloading, does more dmg than the standard but has no scope. You can get it from him at the very end of the game if you pick an ending that's not Spark.
I start new game and i cannot sleep in zalissia. Wtf?
you can only sleep when tired
Dude qaht are you on about???? That is clearly an anomaly
This also reminds me of a question I had earlier. Are there NVGs in the game, or will I have to continue to use my flashlight?
Praise the Monolith
Not in the game. Use poo flashlight. They'll supposedly add it this century.
can you get tired in S2? wtf I never seen anything like that
Ok
Praise be to the monolith
I've legit had the tired thing popup for me once, and it was like 10 min after sleeping to pass time lol
The only time I've ever got tired is arena. Seems like a cut feature they forgot to cut completely.... or maybe.... an anomaly😲
So they’re “supposed” to be adding NVGs good to know thanks for all the help I guess I’ll head out into the Zone once again and do some Stalker things
Really i was skipping night regularly. But that's before the patch.
Anyone knows when i will be able to upgrade the monolith's seva from the swamps?
Okay the Shotgun is very effective towards the snorks
I've gotten tired eventually, it really only happens if you go multiple days without sleeping so its rare if you use sleep to time skip since that resets the debuff timer
They are in the data for the game but are not in the live ver. Devs said they will look to adding them when they do the first big content patch after the hotfixes are done
The tornado anomaly is possibly the most frightening anomaly ive come across. I legit stopped in my tracks when i saw it
Yes, have fun in Red Fortress at the end of the game. Game forces you to kill 200 Monolith in exosuits, 1/4 of them have Gauss Rifles, it's as dark as an asshole during 80% of the mission, and they have bizarre bullet deflecting auras around them.
You can't see shit.
Oh wait one last question what’s the best way to deal with those mutants the ones that wear the witch robe things (I don’t know the names of any of the mutants)
It also legit stopped my game from working :^)
I can’t wait to buy the game on steam instead of playing it through gamepass
Tell em it ain't Halloween yet
Just like the old days :')
Zalissya is still bugged?
Burers are the short guys with telekinesis who steal your gun and shoot you with it?
yes
Burers. Run up to them, empty full magazine of Saiga 12 into their head as soon as they drop their shield. Die within 3 seconds.
Optionally pick up any guns around them, they can use telekinesis to pick up all the guns in the room & melt you.
SEries s with 4k oled tv, or i5 8400 27 inch monitor with 4060 graphics
Yeah I realized that after there were about 6 TOZ shotguns floating and shooting me
They nerfed mutants, if you are STILL struggling with mutants, its a skill issue
I wish nerds would learn to just shoot the mutants to death
for Rookie yes
Thats a big oof
4060 graphics? On a 4k tv for series s. I dunno what to tell ya dude.
The series S is nice because at the end of the night when im too fired to fight a burer, I can chill back with my 4k 65 inch sony oled, and the game save travels over. Sometimes, the 4060 paired with my older cpu can create stutters, but the series s runs more consistently at times.
Reason: Bad word usage
Don't pick up the weird bolt you find inside. It'll brick your save, causing emissions to crash the game. Some are hardcoded, means unless you install a mod that removes the weird bolt entirely, your ending cutscenes will be hardlocked.
can burers stop melee? previous games they couldnt
Imagine there were womans in this Zone, no one whouldve survived
Wish I knew this some dozens of hours ago 
theres a few
That's actually crazy to heat the series s is keeping up with the 4060. That's fucked. And I'm playing on a series s too
Its not really "keeping up" its more my cpu is from my grandads age which makes the 4060 probably only working to 75% of its capabilities, and console is just stable 30 where as on my setup i can get 45-90 but its not consistent
Anyone else having problems with A Light in the End of the Tunnel? When exiting the location (going down the tunnel after taking the psi-device) the game hangs dead...
Oh I can’t curse 😢
Peepee Poopoo.
why
So what do you need help with? With your series s or pc? I can help on pc but series s is a one choice only. I used to play on pc for like four years and I'm very good at optimisation
no swearing, only time to swear is to alligiance with the wish granter
yes it's 2024 where everything get's offended for anything 😄 welcome to 1984
🕵️♂️
Ok best 556 gun in the game (I really like the the GP37 but I’m also not that deep into the game so)
Anyone else getting horrible performance in this game? Running a 4070 super and 14700 i7. Getting like 5 fps when entering towns and you can basically see textures generating like when you run too fast though chunks in minecraft xD
richter is still dead and i cant progress "little incident" quest, fix thanks @young magnet
im getting attacked my mercs, are they always hostile and do they have a base?
To support gsc directly
VRAG MONOLITA
any advice for assault on duga? when i go through i insta die and when i go south i insta die
Reason: Bad word usage
Also what’s up with the IPSF? Who are those guys?
GSC gameworld has forsaken us, its been 12 hours since patch #2 dropped and no fix for my specific quest issue
you're doing it wrong, ducktape 2 4090s , 2 am5s and 128gb to the mobo then restart it 
You get shot by Monolith snipers with Gauss Rifles. Go through the town to the south instead.
@static lark It's the military.
Nah seems like i would need 4 x 5090ti ultra super giga to run this game smoothly. (When the 5000 series comes out)
i tried but i insta die also when going south
This game is seriously packed to the gills with nooks
NASA will provide it for us when we go to mars 
Then why have a Military faction and a IPSF faction?
Is that before or after Trinidad and Tobago has gone to the sun at night?
IPSF is the Ukrainian / International military tasked with containing the zone.
Ward is just an armed branch of SIRCAA. They're not the military.
Ah I see, Noon also seems cool Ex-Monolith guys right?
Reason: Bad word usage
why keep swearing. The God Emperor is always watching
Yes. "Ex".
Monolith wins / survives in 3 out of 4 endings to the main story. Rather based.
Hello Stalkers, quick question. I reached the part in the main story where I just had to ||scavenge through Wild Island, shoot some mercs and diasble an emmiter.|| I now have 2 quests, ||The Hornets nest and an invisable Threat||. Do I need to do these in a specific order? Will I get locked out of something if I do one first before another?
Which ending makes Noon survive? I kinda like them they’re not brainwashed fanatics
anyone know if its possible to tell the game to not automaticly reassign and reorginize my quick use slots? its really annoying
strider was the first noontider
Guys, I may be screwed or killed in a bad situation, I am doing dead frequency and I am in bloodsucker Territory
Also from the beginning of the game I just ran to prepet and in 2 hours I found the best armor and the best shotgun that needs to be fixed
Monolita always wins
They always return to Monolith.
One ending has them guarding the whole zone, one has everyone zombified (Monolith protects them), one has them survive & prosper.
Only the Ward ending has them go away.
f**king monolith always
|| I can’t curse so censoring myself will suffice||
the zone wouldnt be the same with them i like them
I have a Shotgun and a assault rifle but I don't know what to do against three bloodsuckers
monolita just wants to be happy and live in their homeland, until the stalkers crossed the psi wall and attacked 😦
Do you guys know of any mod to make the enemies humans have more health?
corny asf right wing politics in a stalker server
bro
Play on the hardest difficulty, I doubt you'll want people to have more health. Especially Monolith in exosuits.
I updated the game and continue option disappeared. Does anybody have the same problem?
Monolith Infighting caught in 4k Ultra HD DolbyDigital
even on veteran its just a headshot or two with right ammo
slugs ftw
WTF they nerfed mutants BUT they MULTIPLIED THEM. Killed 5 of these invisible bloodlusts or something called
faust vs strider irl but if faust spent too much time on 4chan talking to sub 70 iq chuds
Thank the wish granter! 💙 💙 💙 💙
Only the Gauss Rifle can kill them in one shot. The ones at the end of the game with their weird auras can tank 4 Gauss to the body.
Also much like in the originals, headshots are meant to insta kill.
yeah very end ones arent too hard if you just give up on the gauss and get a few headshots, the only part that was ever difficult was the granite squad
