The game offers enough in its other areas to make it consistently enjoyable even if I see the same ‘enemy squad spawn next to mutants’ event happen every now and then

[chilly ridge]

I got so immersed when I was first at the Cement Factory and after doing jobs seeing how everyone was so much kinder

[charred nova]

Bro doesn’t know they cut 3/4 of the side quests

[chilly ridge]

What do you mean?

[potent raptor]

is there a way to change the damage weapons do? So that enemies (Stalkers and mutants) don't tank as many shots as normal? I've seen some people complain about it so I want to know if there is some way to change that before I buy the game myself

[chilly ridge]

From my experianceAP rounds can do the trick and just going for headshots as well. A combo of those 2 makes it not as noticeable

I would recomend waiting until patch 1.4 which should be out soon

[potent raptor]

what about AP and exos? I've seen videos of people putting like 2 mags of 5.45 into an exo until they died
I get you're supposed to be a tank with an exo but almost 60 rounds seems a little much
Same with chimeras taking like over 250

[edgy shell]

Haven’t gotten to that point where exos appear but things currently take two headshots max to fall

[chilly ridge]

I never minded with exos as much. Idk if I'm the best person to be saying this stuff. I'm always a glass half full

Even with exos you can get em quick with some headshots

And I don't mind really spongey mutants cause like the Chimera is uktra rare and supposedto be the best

[potent raptor]

fair enough, maybe I'll just mod the game a little to adjust it if it doesn't fit with me

[chilly ridge]

Most mutants can be killed vry quickly, esoecially with the shotgun

[potent raptor]

Are the pseudogiants in the game or are there none? Because it seems to me that they'd be a bigger threat than a chimera

[charred nova]

The game originally had over 80 quests we got 21

[chilly ridge]

Yes they are in the game but I never fought them.

[chilly ridge]

You mean before it was released? Or are they cutting like the one off encounters?

I'm confused

[nova nimbus]

What's going on in the media post? It makes it sound like there's something teased but I just see the shooting star.

[edgy shell]

They are. They are tanky but easy to dodge, so they are admittedly big bullet sponges

[charred nova]

I mean quests full complete quests

There in the games files

[edgy shell]

But my weapon at the time was at 60% so there’s a high chance it would take far less

[chilly ridge]

I'll just hope they had their reasons and enjoy the new update that's coming.

[charred nova]

I mean bro

All you gotta do is go to Pripyat

And it just jumps out at you

Pripyat had zero quests

[chilly ridge]

I haven't gotten there yet

[charred nova]

All of the side content in Pripyat is cut

[edgy shell]

Interesting

[chilly ridge]

Well I hope when I see Prypiat for the first time the A life system will pick up the slack

I just hope me waiting until this point will be worth it.

[edgy shell]

Won’t lie I’m not anticipating it to get to the level people think it’ll get to

[charred nova]

It’s the most broke there

[edgy shell]

So I’m just cruising and enjoying it as is

[charred nova]

It’s why I HIGHLY recommend using the train jump glitch to go to Pripyat early

[chilly ridge]

Well I'll just have hopes for the update and see what happens

[charred nova]

So you can enjoy all of the loot there before it’s entirely useless

[chilly ridge]

Do tell

What always weirded me out about COP is why did nobody try to jump the fence from Yaniv?.

[edgy shell]

Force fields of course

[charred nova]

Just look it up

It’s very hard to explain how exactly to do it

[chilly ridge]

I'll do that

[charred nova]

But all the good exo suits are found there

The best shotgun is found there

[edgy shell]

Given that description it does seem odd that there wouldn’t be any quests there

[charred nova]

All of it was cut

[uncut hollow]

sadly

[charred nova]

Pripyat is completely unfinished

Like you can go explore what’s there and be like wow this is cool then realize there’s nothing to actually do except walk around

[charred nova]

Technically there is one side quest

But only if you bought the ultimate edition

[safe sapphire]

1.4 ! 1.4 ! 1.4 !

[vernal lily]

Numbers

[chilly ridge]

Rn I'm really enjoying The Red Forest

Love that region.

[regal sinew]

Right? I haven’t been there in s2 yet but that was my favourite area in the Stalker mods, love me some Red Forest.

[chilly ridge]

It's great in S2

It feels so unique

[regal sinew]

Can’t wait to get there in my playthrough, I’ve been waiting for more optimisations and fixes so I don’t get soft locked out of anything since I’m currently doing a no death run, only just out of the Lesser Zone atm but I keep playing other mods atm while waiting for a few more patches.

[chilly ridge]

I have that with the story. When 1.4 drops I'll complete the story

[tacit jay]

I did two full playthroughs a few months back and am starting a new one for 1.4.

[weary hedge]

salutations

[regal sinew]

High.

[sturdy verge]

Me too, mine barracks is a place i love to visit and pretend to see Sin there ❤️ love that faction

[chilly ridge]

Didn't know they were there. Now I'm interested

[vernal lily]

In your head they are

[sturdy verge]

not in the OG games as the faction was not added to the game in the end but in anomaly they are.

[vernal lily]

Yeah, cut out faction from the game

I like their logo

[sturdy verge]

me too 😄

[sturdy verge]

Make sure to check around the bridge 😉 and a guard house i think, worth it.

[regal sinew]

It’s pretty cool patch for it being fan made.

[vernal lily]

yes

[regal sinew]

Who knows why Sin faction got cut, they have pretty cool lore behind them being in the Zone, half human half mutant hybrids that believe in the divine essence of the zone. Dope.

[sturdy verge]

Id choose them over monolith if they didn't get cut.

Dark bandit style clothing love it.

[regal sinew]

For sure, Sin faction aka Dark Stalkers, such a cool idea for a faction of you ask me. I asked a few times in the Ask GSC section if we would ever see any cut content from the OGs, specifically the Sin faction but sadly never got an answer.

[vernal lily]

How did they ended up being half mutants? Forgot about their lore, or what little the faction has. I remember watching a video on it a while ago.

[regal sinew]

I don’t fully remember either but they were probably something like the 1st inhabitants of the Zone directly after the 2nd incident, or were possibly there during it and mutated them but not to the extent of Fracture mutants.

[floral elm]

I can answer your question but wolf will strike me down then...

[regal sinew]

Or maybe experiments…

[vernal lily]

Oh yeah, that kind of sparks my memory on the video I watched. Something about them being the first inhabitants.

[vernal lily]

[floral elm]

[shell flax]

I think Faust would do it first I won’t lie Yar lmao

[tacit jay]

Sounds cringe. Za monolit!

[vernal lily]

LMAO

[regal sinew]

You can go lick your glowing rock.

[vernal lily]

I love monolith

[regal sinew]

Same haha

[vernal lily]

Don't tell the freedomers I said this

[tacit jay]

Ummm it's not a glowing rock, it's a imaginary hologram. Get it right, sweetheart.

[regal sinew]

I love all the factions tbh.

[sturdy verge]

I love licking that rock

Lol clear sky denied

[floral elm]

LMAO

[vernal lily]

Damn how did Yar get wolfed that quick

[tacit jay]

caps

[regal sinew]

Tbh I normally play as a Merc given the chance but failing that it’s normally Monolith since I love the fact it’s you vs the entire Zone when you play as the rock licker.

[floral elm]

I told you

[floral elm]

He was waiting for it

[sturdy verge]

That's why they sniff it too to stay up all night and day.

[vernal lily]

I lobe Clear Sky

[floral elm]

[sturdy verge]

The representative this and that rawrrrr

[vernal lily]

[regal sinew]

He gone be dizzy in a minute.

[weary hedge]

I am bad at video games sadly. 🙁 Hopefully I will try to enjoy them. Amen.

[tacit jay]

awww did they change how bolts interact with the world? I can't bounce them off of people's faces anymore

[quiet rock]

hello, my cpu is at 95 degrees celsius on average for this game but for other games it doesnt do that. i have an i 7 12700 and a gtx 5070ti, is this game making my computer an industrial oven?

[safe sapphire]

https://tenor.com/view/anti-inflammatory-diet-gif-25646246

[echo nimbus]

i'm pretty sure my entire save is broken so should i just restart the whole game? (at the last quest where you have to see kaymanov again) or should i wait until a patch or smt

[shell flax]

Patch should drop this week so might as well wait

[normal sail]

Its a very CPU heavy game

[echo nimbus]

alright, hopefully it patches end game cause i really want to start a new save but i don't want to lose all my progress without actually finishing the game

[dark depot]

When will they release multiplayer in the game for Xbox

Does anyone know

[still current]

No news to be shared yet

When it releases, it'll be available for all platforms anyway

[plain mantle]

wait there is going to be multiplayer in stalker 2?

[normal sail]

There is

[edgy shell]

Yes

[normal sail]

but its not going to be co-op

[plain mantle]

i mean i bought it yesterday, so idk so much about it

[edgy shell]

Well there’s something else to look forward to

[plain mantle]

like a pvp mode? thats awesome

[edgy shell]

But I know if the game will still be running at 50fps I will not be playing multiplayer, that is just too low for it to be fun

[plain mantle]

the game need 2 many optimization, am struggling 2 play it at 120 fps at 1080

[normal sail]

Possibly, no real info on MP unfortunately.

[edgy shell]

Should be fun though, I love s2’s take on gunplay

It’s such a nice system

[plain mantle]

like the arena mode that tarkov has, or the multiplayer that tlof, or the uncharted games, that game modes are very fun 2 play atleast for me

[ornate mirage]

uhhh i think ur fan is just bad

[plain star]

Anybody uses Ultra Plus mod here?

[still current]

Multi-player will come as soon as the team reaches the desired state for the base game. It'll be something similar to the original trilogy (Player vs Player modes.). There will be no co-op, at least that much is confirmed atm.

[fickle hill]

Where did you get your parts from the north side of Germany?

[plain mantle]

thats awesome 👀 , never played an stalker before and stalker 2 was my frist game, should i give a try to the 3 last games?

even knowing they have 15 years old?

[still current]

Wouldn't be a problem. The main aim for the team is to optimize the game as much as possible. Either way, multi-player will not be based on the full map (at least logically saying), so fps won't be a problem in a cropped level (I base my logic on general understanding to the industry and multi-player in general.) I believe it will be cropped levels with a limited number of players. I don't see any chance of it being based on the whole zone map.

[still current]

Yeah. The 3 ogs are really great.

[still current]

Old or not, they are still on a different level from most new games. Idk, they are still looking good even on vanilla

I think it'll be a great experience for you

Older games got a lot of love

[plain mantle]

yeah i dont care 2 much for the graphics, maybe the mechanics of the game got old by the years and all of that, thats why am afraid of giving them a try after i finish stalker 2

[ornate mirage]

what is there to be afraid of

[plain mantle]

i tryed gamma just 2 see how could the old stalker games be with better visuals and all of that and i didnt like it 2 much, maybe the menus or the way the gunplay works, and i uninstalled it, so i dont want 2 buy a game that i wont like

yeah maybe gamma is way more advanced for a new stalker player for what i saw but idk if the old games work that way 2

[ornate mirage]

gamma is not a stalker game, it's a mod

and you don't have to buy games

[plain mantle]

i mean, if i have the opportunity of buying a game and support the developers make sure i will do it, maybe i can look how to play the game without paying 2 see if i like it, then i will just buy it

but give me time, i want 2 get the 100% of stalker 2 becouse am loving it

[vernal lily]

The last time the trilogy was on sale, I got the entire thing for around $8.

[plain mantle]

yeah it has is optimization issues but i can enjoy it anyways, so atleast for me is alr rn

[ornate mirage]

Also, GOG has a much better refund policy that doesn't limit you to only two hours playtime like Steam

[plain mantle]

yeah for what i know in steam some old game get very nice discount sometimes, i got the 2 games of hotline miami for 2$

[vernal lily]

I suppose if you don't already have a lot of games bought on steam go for gog.

[ornate mirage]

you always go for gog

[vernal lily]

I don't feel like wasting all that money buying the same games again

[ornate mirage]

why would you??

[vernal lily]

Well, if I were to move over to gog, which I kind of want to.

But won't because of that

[ornate mirage]

use gog and steam simultaneously lmfao

[vernal lily]

I don't feel like moving around like that

[plain mantle]

what is the bad part of steam, i dont get it?

[ornate mirage]

it's 2 buttons on your desktop

[vernal lily]

I do have a few games all over the place and it's already annoying to me.

[ornate mirage]

or less, considering you don't even need a launcher for gog

[vernal lily]

Literally don't have any reason to have gog though since I have like 2 games that I sometimes play.

[vernal lily]

They just kind of suck

[plain mantle]

i need reasons

[vernal lily]

I personally don't have too much to say except for the 2 hour limit thing if you want to refund something. But usually I don't have a problem with that so.

[plain mantle]

yeah same, at least for me 2 hours are enough for knowing if u like a game or not, and i dont really care about the 15 days becouse when i buy a game i play it rn

[ornate mirage]

mainly has to do with DRM and game ownership

buying a game on steam you "rent" it, not own it, unlike on GOG

practically this means that GOG provides you with offline installers you can use however you like, without any requirement for accounts or shit

it also is always a better choice for old games, GOG bundles them up with fixes and even maintains them to work on newer hardware

[vernal lily]

Oh yeah that's the other thing

Forgot about that

[ornate mirage]

and yeah, refund policy, i think it's 14 hours / 30 days?

[plain mantle]

oh yeah i know how that works, in steam u dont really have ur game you just have the licence 2 play it

[plain mantle]

14 hours, thats crazy

[ornate mirage]

oh, it's not even 14 hours, it's just 30 days

i just checked

[plain mantle]

how the indie devs do when they develope a short game, like 4 or 5 hours, the people can just refund it right?

[vernal lily]

Lol

[ornate mirage]

i mean, if you don't wanna pay for the game there are already accessible options for getting it another way, right?

[plain mantle]

yeah u right, but u dont get virus in gog and u can keep the offline installer, right?

i dont really know how it works sorry for asking, but if the download doesnt work with any account, how do the installer know that u have refund the game, it stop working or u can keep it?

[ornate mirage]

Well

[plain mantle]

am starting 2 know why u prefear gog over steam hahahaha

if when i buy the game am not actually buying it, downloading it somewhere isnt robbing

my pear brain cant handle this much info, am going for wata'

[vernal lily]

I thought your pfp was a canary for a sec

[plain mantle]

HAHAHAAH, is cheems the dog turned into a pear

made it my self, am proud of it, i guess

[vernal lily]

[ornate mirage]

i actually can't use gog, since it's USD only
i do use the installers however

[plain mantle]

wow didnt know that, am from europe so i couldnt use it, right?

[ornate mirage]

No, you can use Euro also

[plain mantle]

oh, am not using it anyways hahaha, i love santa claus

am just really into steam rn, maybe in a future

[still current]

Stalker mechanics are never old they are still super nice

[plain mantle]

i will give them a try if i see the games on sale, meanwhile i will get the 100% in stalker 2, am loving it

[still current]

Well, don't go for gamma if you ask me

Let it be a thing after finishing the whole series

[plain mantle]

i alr did, i didnt like it 2 much

[still current]

Cuz if you do, you'll just get false image on the games

[plain mantle]

yeah becouse i didnt understand anything about gamma

[still current]

These mods only convey their authors' visions, not the original ones

[still current]

It's basically a modpack for a mod, that is based on another mod. If you trace it back to the game, it won't lead you anywhere lmao

It's based on a mod called call of chernobyl

Which is a sandbox that kinda melts the 3 games into one but poorly speaking

It wasn't bad but a sandbox is a sandbox

[plain mantle]

lol, i never tought someone could mod a mod of a mod

[still current]

Yeah mod x 3

It's basically call of chernobyl molded to become anomaly, and then modded to become gamma

[plain mantle]

like anomaly changes all of call of chernobyl and gamma just improve everything about anomaly

[still current]

Gamma is basically all that + a crazy ass bunch of other mini mods and addons that makes the game weird af

Some like it that way, but honestly, I dont

[plain mantle]

yeah i have 2 say the menus of gamma are a little weird

a played it becouse i saw some videos comparing it with stalker 2 and it looked very good, but it was just the animations, the rest of the game feels bad if u ask me

[still current]

Not really. It's more of molding one mod into someone's vision.

It's not improvements when it's someone adding stuff based on preference

And then his fans too

Well, it's a mess

[ornate mirage]

gamma is a modpack for anomaly which itself is a mod of last day which is a mod of call of misery which is a mod combining call of chernobyl and misery respectively

so it's mod x5

[still current]

Some ppl say they played stalker meanwhile, what they played was gamma for example

[plain mantle]

and it has so many bugs 2, i had so much crashes and performance issues in both of them, anomaly and gamma

[plain mantle]

so u dont think gamma is an stalker game, is a vision of a modder about what he would like in a stalker game

[still current]

That's what happens when you force the engine to hold a large number of addons

[plain mantle]

more mods into mods into mods, crazy ngl

[still current]

No matter how hard you try to patch things up and make compatibility patches, you'll forget something

[plain mantle]

+500 for what i saw

[still current]

I've been modder long before gamma and anomaly, so Ik the drill

[ornate mirage]

518, yes
i don't think grok has much vision for the modpack if i'm being honest

[plain mantle]

that crazy that could run, i cant even load 20 mods in minecraft without getting less than 60 fps

[still current]

Making compatibility patches was a hell

[plain mantle]

i can imagine lol

[still current]

Hehe cuz this stuff needs constant work

[plain mantle]

i mean if u keep adding mods every week, ofc it need constant work

[still current]

Especially when modders update their addons or base mods update

[still current]

Exactly

So, no matter how hard you try, you'll face unexpected bugs and issues

If not, engine issues

[ornate mirage]

that's because u didn't use optimization mods prolly 💅

[plain mantle]

i had one that happened when u walk over a door, like u dont step on it, it just teleport u next 2 it

i dont really know how to explain it but it was SO bad for inmersion ngl

[still current]

Like memory issues, unhandled exception errors

The engine itself was molded to use more resorces, but still limited in the end

[plain mantle]

wait no more mods plz 😭

[plain mantle]

yeah if the engine is 15 years old i can understand it has optimization issues when u had modern mods

[still current]

Most of the mods you see are taped lmao

[plain mantle]

even knowing the mods are made for that game made in that engine, overloading it maybe makes ur pc or the own game boom boom

[still current]

Engine code is messy and molding it needs proper understanding

[ornate mirage]

Sodium, it's the best optimization mod currently 💅💅

[plain mantle]

i will need 2 tape my gpu if they add more mods ngl

[still current]

I don't have that hehe, it's way too much for me

I had one expert buddy of mine trying to work it out and he failed to do much

[plain mantle]

u are talking me in portugues madam, i dont understand anything lol

[ornate mirage]

https://modrinth.com/mod/sodium

[plain mantle]

expert on a modded game of a mod made of a mod made for another mod and another mod, thats dedication man

[plain mantle]

ooooh yeah, but its for fabric, i only know how forge works

i tought u were talking about a gamma mod

[ornate mirage]

It's the same? You just drop it into the folder.
Also, use MultiMC launcher

[still current]

Well, not aiming to diminish fellow modders's work, but what made gamma gamma is other modders. Gork basically taped it all together to make gamma. It's not as simply as I'm saying it, but it's that in most ways than others

[plain mantle]

there are version that make both version work, but most mods work for forge

[ornate mirage]

And Forge was forked recently, no? It's NeoForge now i think

[plain mantle]

i dont play minecraft since years, so am really lost, but i think neoforge is like an app 2 manage mods, or am i wrong?

[plain mantle]

no way grok helped gamma 2 work hahahaha

i mean i can belive it, i just dont expected it

[still current]

Gamma two will never be a thing

[ornate mirage]

No, what i read was that original Forge developers left due to drama inside the team and started a new fork of the thing called NeoForge, so it's the "relevant" version now.

[plain mantle]

gamma two will have like 1500 mods, or why do we need a gamma 2 lol

[still current]

It won't be a thing. . I pray it never will

[plain mantle]

didnt know about that, i dont played minecraft in a long time so i didnt had 2 know bout this

[ornate mirage]

for grok to compile another of his vasyankas he'd need to have a large base of addons in the first place, and there are none currently

[still current]

Zara is insisting on offtop

[plain mantle]

i hope so, i dont play gamma but i can tell it like destroying gpus when it rains in the game lol

stalkercraft

[still current]

Hella! Like his first mod was a "rebalance" which made the game easier (like it ever needed to be that)

I wish I could say something, but can't.

[ornate mirage]

i wish he had a vision for his modpack

[still current]

I can see what it would be

Clearly so

[oak junco]

op2 and gamma togther would be peak..

grok should make a stalker fallout 4 list..

[frozen ledge]

You don’t know that. Shhhh

[limpid cloak]

Check pins

[weary hedge]

found it on steam

[limpid cloak]

Yup, and you can check #📜┃gsc-answers for a few more tantalizing hints

[uncut hollow]

[edgy shell]

Do you still need to manually update it?

I don’t use DLSS as is but I’ve heard good things about the newest version, tempted to try it

The base version is just so blurry it’s impossible to use

[limpid cloak]

I just used Nvidia app to switch to K preset. This doesn't seem to have issues that need other tweaks like Oblivion Remastered

[charred wind]

I started heading towards the Duga radar installation in Stalker 2 and all of a sudden there are snipers in the towers and guys shooting what seems to be armor-piercing ammo. I assume they're Monolith?

[limpid cloak]

Only tried for a little bit though. I finished my playthrough a little bit before DLSS 4 became a thing

[silent valve]

what really sux: your armor is dark red damaged, pure coincidentially u find the same model unharmed and try it on for better protection - just to determine, that all done previous mods and slots are not incorporated but remaining into the trash one. Dont sure if this is the wanted behaviour, hadnt tried this onto full modified weapons but ASSume thats the same. So it would be better to buy the next higher level suit and mod this instead spent lots of credits to repair the old one?

[hard nacelle]

Can't wait to start this game. Just waiting on that 1.4 announcement 💪

[golden gulch]

Well your armor slowly losing it protective properties as more damage it taken. So always keep it's durability 100% by repairing it.

[weary hedge]

it makes sense that all mods stays with the one you take off, such as leaded artifact pockets and so on, it's something that belongs to the armor and cannot be retained if you remove it. BUT I do agree with what you mean and again, I'm just eager to check if console mods will have something about durability because I just want to get lost in the middle of nowhere while exploring but equipment durability is killing me. I mean, fight for your life for 10k to lose a quarter of your exo which is worth 35k to repair....f**k me.

[tame gazelle]

i wish for NVGS hope its not too late 🙂

[weary hedge]

you'll have to repair them too

[tame gazelle]

ahhh seriously? then i dont want it, id rather not see the enemy than repair an item

[weary hedge]

I mean man, the zone technicians must be richest people on top of Forbes charts and never leave their camp because they'd be bandits most wanted

you can play the whole game without buying any single weapon, ammo, food, but you'll gain Koupons just for the sake of repairing your sh*t only

[misty salmon]

Hey guys, I just joined this server. I’m having issues picking my faction. Free stalker all the way

[silent valve]

Thats a known fact and nothing new. Any more wisdom news? 😉

[quiet rock]

Where patch

[floral elm]

We have 3 more hours for GSC to drop it otherwise we will skin one of our discord members alive as sacrifice

[tough remnant]

I volunteer as tribute

[floral elm]

We already have one unvoluntary Volunteer but if his sacrifice wont be enough we will greatly welcome your tribute

[tired inlet]

next update when

[north jackal]

Why is this even a thing.. the game is for adults and we can't even use "bad words"... ridiculous

[weary hedge]

let's try with impious

[golden gulch]

Oh yeah I see what you're trying to ask now, I would be better to just repair the red armor because it would be cheaper than upgrading the new one from scratch. Unless you took an upgrade path you don't like.

[hallow quest]

Anyone noticed the difference when playing with patch 1,3?

[weary hedge]

I totally missed 1.2 but compared to 1.1 is like the difference between day and night. There are still things I would like to have (but I'm nobody), but waaaay much better now.

[hallow quest]

Heard they did something with 1200 changes. “MORE loot” caught my guy. I’m playing on Xbox so I feel my eyes are hallucinating

[weary hedge]

I'm on xbox too. Only one thing I'm suffering right now is the cost of repairs, but that is due to my playstyle of roaming lost all around the map and forget the main quest. I just hope I can fix it when mod support will come

[hallow quest]

Repair cost is criminal, exosuit is costly. But overall the game is still enjoyable, just wish anomalies wouldn’t do so much dmg to my armor

[warped stream]

shouldnt be too far off i imagine

[opaque bluff]

Is there anyone that can help me install the Modular Hard Mode its so confusing

[wooden ocean]

how long has this game been out? still takes 10min to compile shaders lmao

[austere pagoda]

download the mods it says to download
Drop textures in mod folder
drop 1 of the localization in folder
drop hardcore or standard aio
look at extras
use optionally
play

[chrome gazelle]

when will the mod support be

[charred nova]

Q2 if it doesn’t get delayed so next month

[chrome gazelle]

what is q2

[charred nova]

Quarter 2

April may June

[smoky hawk]

the beta for the SDK is gonna happen in Q2

[chrome gazelle]

which quarter are we in

[charred nova]

Quarter 2

[charred nova]

So it’s gonna happen next month

Gsc is gonna have to work over time to get all the stuff on the road map done in time

[chrome gazelle]

what mods can be downloaded

[charred nova]

Go on the nexus and look

Mods only exist on pc though

All current mods aren’t anything crazy though

[tacit jay]

They did put at the bottom that some things might be pushed back

[charred nova]

No?

[tacit jay]

Yes?

[charred nova]

Oh

[tacit jay]

"Mission targets may be moved from Q2 to later dates in case of zone instability"

[charred nova]

You mean the general statement at the bottom

[tacit jay]

Yeah that's what at the bottom means.

Sorry that was jerkish.

[charred nova]

My bad I honestly thought it said something else lmao

[tacit jay]

No you're good lmao. It's small text. When it was first shown people were like "EXTRA MISSIONS???"

It's just GSC being cute with the roadmap, like it's in lore .

[charred nova]

At this point think the sdk will be prioritized

All the other stuff will likely get pushed unless they decide to crunch pretty hard

[tacit jay]

Well we know 1.4 is going to have the a-life updates at least

I think the SDK is the next thing after for sure.

[charred nova]

Idk what the wide aspect ratio update would even be

The game already supports 21:9

[flint gust]

hi

[charred nova]

Unless it doesn’t support like crazy ultra wide ratios

[tacit jay]

Apparently that's the issue

people who have monitors that wrap around them and they play like it's fisheyed

[charred nova]

Why would you even play stalker 2 like that

That sounds awful lmao

[tacit jay]

https://tenor.com/view/then-it-go-bruh-poop-gif-20493795

I've seen some people who play with a ultra wide fov and it reminds me of quake tbh

[charred nova]

I play Minecraft like that

Quake pro fov

[tacit jay]

God, I'm enjoying playing as monolith in one o fthe freeplay mods, but they keep sending me to farther and farther locations and I have to walk all the way back to pripyat for a new mission lmfao. Pleaseeeeee Dima dirtfarmer and Boris butthead hanging out in the bandit carpark literally have no idea what the monolith even is. They aren't a threat to us 😭

[charred nova]

I’m still waiting for them to fix the fast-forward bug

[tacit jay]

Fast forward bug?

[charred nova]

Where most people seem to have lost the ability to fast forward cut scenes

Me included

[tacit jay]

OH, tht.. I was wondering why I couldn't skip lol

[charred nova]

It’s not worked for me since 1.0

Lmfao

[tacit jay]

I wanted to get a new file up and running for 1.4 and I'm already where I need to be, but it would've saved time lmao

It's not working for me since this last update.. I'm sad that I can't bounce bolts off of people's faces anymore. Either it's a setting I changed or it's from an update, but it just goes through them now

I liked hitting them in the face with it and watching them wince.

[charred nova]

Probably broke lol

[tacit jay]

The only joy I have left is hucking bolts at sidorovich and watching him wince

Please... give me back my happiness...

[vernal lily]

Discord partnership. Servers who are partnered can't have people cussing all the time. One of the rules is 'no cursing'. Yeah it's dumb.

[ebon mountain]

why cant I enable FSR 4 for Stalker 2 in the driver? Its officially supported by AMD...I am on latest driver

[charred nova]

Fsr 4 is super wack

It’s not an in game setting

https://youtu.be/K0Pu5BNy3Ds?feature=shared

[fleet tartan]

Did they nerf the weird ball artifact?

[misty salmon]

I don’t exactly know, I’ve been using that artifact a lot but it seems like it does nothing

I’d rather switch it out with the weird bolt by the tornado anomaly

[ebon mountain]

yes but the option should be enabled in the AMD software...Stalker 2 is listed as supported for this but its not available in AMD software for Stalker

[charred nova]

ive had it work

[ebon mountain]

https://imgur.com/a/gKhSOxI this is for ratchet and clank...FSR 4 is there

https://imgur.com/a/D2pBvRv stalker 2 nothing

[ebon mountain]

😐

[tacit jay]

Last patch did, I think.

[charred nova]

i mean hey don't ask the nvidia guys where DLSS4 support is

because despite what nvidia claims

it was never added to the game

only way to use it is dlss swapper

[ebon mountain]

my only idea is its not working with the XBOX app version because you have the Steam one and I play it through xbox

[charred nova]

probably that is the problem

the xbox version seems totally botched from all accounts

[misty salmon]

I cloud game on the Xbox website on my iPad.

Too broke for a console

[ebon mountain]

one would expect this not to be the case since they gave them lots of money 😄 😄 😄

[charred nova]

welp clearly your new here hahaha

but here

https://github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler

this mod can force fsr4 to work

[ebon mountain]

I see I can just transfer the save games from the XBOX to Steam

nah Ill just buy Stalker on Steam and unsub gamepass...

[charred nova]

to be honest im not sure that will even fix it

the entire dlss4 and fsr4 situation at least for stalker 2 is totally busted

[ebon mountain]

I am positive this is the case...I will let you know once I download it...if it doesnt work Ill refund Steam ofc

[charred nova]

tbh the difference isn't that big but your better off playing on gamepass

as game is atm its not really worth that full sticker

its getting there though

[chrome gazelle]

when they do add mods to xbox will it be like skyrim

[torpid yarrow]

6 months later this game still doesnt load with more than 10 fps

7800x3d 32gb ddr5 3070ti and game cant even load properly

game sits at 5fps on launch game and the world just slowly loads in around me

[shrewd needle]

Is it on HDD?

I got a much worse system but loads fine.

[charred nova]

Are you not using a ssd?

[charred nova]

Who knows

Unclear if the sdk will bring mods to console or not my guess is probably not right away but who knows

[torpid yarrow]

yes im using an ssd im using m2 ssd

this game is the only game that refuses to work on my pc

every other game works fine

i genuinely dont understand

[storm osprey]

Havent played this game since launch because I was told performance wasnt great, did they add some updates to the game to improve things?

[charred nova]

idk if you have msi afterburner and or what settings you're using but you might be running out of vram

[torpid yarrow]

im playing on medium settings and it says im using 6gb out of 8

[charred nova]

hmm ok

guess thats not it then

[weary hedge]

at this point

im willing to just send 300$ to the dev team to fix this issue ive waited like 6 months

[charred nova]

whats your issue

[weary hedge]

Been waiting for a bug fix for months on the "in the name of science" quest. Last snork collar/body I need isnt there, because i previously picked it up and gave it to the professor

got no earlier saves to revert to, checked in a few times w/ the bug report but nothing yet

[charred nova]

save related bugs like that likely wont ever get fixed if they have already happened sadly

youd need to revert to an old save before the bug happened

to actually have it then work properly if it was fixed

you can use unreal commands to force the quest to retrigger though

[weary hedge]

Hhh, isnt there some tool out there that people use to skip quest stages

yeah, that. If you can point me in the right direction, that would be great

[charred nova]

mates gonna make me be chat gpt but ight let me look

[storm osprey]

Havent played this game since launch because I was told performance wasnt great, did they add some updates to the game to improve things?

[weary hedge]

Nah, just shoot me a link or beginners guide

[charred nova]

at best its SLIGHTLY better than it was at launch

but if you were struggling before its not much better

did you already try the performance mod?

[storm osprey]

I mean I didnt even play it tbh, is it worth redownloading? I have a 78000x3d and 7900xt

[charred nova]

oh your golden then

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/7

if you want a slight fps boost use this mod

[tacit jay]

Aren't these placebo?

[charred nova]

maybe they are im no dev so

[weary hedge]

@topaz mountain holy sh that did it

[charred nova]

wrong guy

but you're welcome

[weary hedge]

whoop

[still current]

[weary hedge]

since i played last did they ever add NVGs? @charred nova

[still current]

I heard techsupport

[still current]

Nope

[drifting forge]

[still current]

Probably in the next roadmap or the one after it

[weary hedge]

Sooo any major changes since december?

[charred nova]

nope

[charred nova]

controllers have a new attack

[still current]

The whole thing is known for the devs, so I believe it will make it to the game eventually

[charred nova]

thats about it

oh

they moved some of the items from the final mission

into pripyat

[still current]

Yeah.

A lot

[drifting forge]

Last I played was in February. Intend to go for another run soon

[still current]

Game got a lot better in terms in performance, looks, and everything in general.

I'd really recommend a second go after the coming patch

[weary hedge]

Mm, yeah, I noticed the frame gen option was removed

not that I used it.

[still current]

If you check the #📜┃gsc-answers channel, you'll be able to have a brief overview on the new patch

Main focus is alife in general

[weary hedge]

ah yeah, more alife

[still current]

Well. I can not talk about it

However, impression is absolutely positive

[weary hedge]

well, at least i got my grinding done

not sure if you remember me, but I was the one who grinded 1 million cupons off skifs pistol and pratically cleared the map of stashes

[charred nova]

https://tenor.com/view/uni-cat-gif-16508948274886257497

[still current]

Not quite. Excuse my poor memory

Im that kind of dude whom secrets die with him, literally

[weary hedge]

I was pretty active in here up until feb i think

[still current]

Idk

Not gonna lie

[weary hedge]

eh, no matter

[still current]

I've been kinda passive active lately

Like I don't engage much but only oversee from the shadows

[weary hedge]

classic lurker

[still current]

Anyways, I am also doing a cleaning run

Literally hunting every possible stash available

Already cleared everything up to yaniv

[weary hedge]

yup, ive wiped most minus the ones you cant hit due to the story path you choose

[still current]

Now I'm taking on pripyat

[weary hedge]

same, ive even cleared pryp

[still current]

Well, I discarded my other playthrough saves

So, I made sure to clear up everything this time

Including artifacts to be found

[weary hedge]

hmm. disable or recalibrate the jammer?

[still current]

And attachments

[still current]

Blew it off hehe

Shot it

[shell flax]

Hearing all of this is making me excited for the next patch and starting my next run as well

[still current]

Funnily enough, I don't even have to say anything since most of it was shared in the #📜┃gsc-answers channel

Mol1t is spoiling you all fr

[weary hedge]

Man

[ornate mirage]

[dreamy forge]

Well crap... Guess i found myself in a place one should not be since floor was missing

[weary hedge]

@tulip kestrel doesnt have one I dont think, but I could be wrong, pretty sure it just has a stendo

[tulip kestrel]

wierd, saw it in the trailer, time of opportunities, and in a video showcasing all the guns

[weary hedge]

check the interactive map. https://mapgenie.io/stalker-2-heart-of-chornobyl

[ornate mirage]

the grok is coming
don't say i didn't warn you

[dreamy forge]

Also found it there is no auto teleport to surface once you fall under

[weary hedge]

yeah all the map is showing is the high-cap, dont think there a flip

[dreamy forge]

Nor insta death

[weary hedge]

im going to be sad when i have to gun down strelok

but war.... war never changes...

[weary hedge]

@still current did we ever get the opportunity to add attachments to unique guns or no

[charred nova]

with mods yes

[weary hedge]

I really try my best to play unmodded

[dreamy forge]

Pfff i actually screwed myself

It autosaved while falling

[ornate mirage]

in S2?

[weary hedge]

Da

[ornate mirage]

my god it is just like SoC

[weary hedge]

hitting qu1k-sc0p3s with the gauss rifle is quite enteretaining

@charred nova out of curiosity, I wonder how much cupons translate into actual currecny

im sitting at 1.1M, and I feel like thats a decent amount to retire on

like at this point skif could just be like "f*** you, im leaving, i can buy a nice house at this point"

[plain mantle]

||hello guys, am having an issue when i try to get in icaro but i cant, i think i need the warden badge but i didnt helped the ward, is there any other way 2 enter without killing everyone?||

[weary hedge]

No, you cant get in until they ||abandon it later on|| or you just go the alternate quest path

[plain mantle]

what is the alternate quest path, the one you help them? and if they ||abandon it, how am i supposed 2 accept the side quest?||

[weary hedge]

I assume youre going with spark, no?

[plain mantle]

yep

[weary hedge]

then you prolly cant access any side quest thats at that place

[plain mantle]

i will have 2 finish the game 2 times 2 play it entirely

[weary hedge]

yeah, theres a few places like that

[plain mantle]

thx then, i would like 2 play that sidequest in my main savefile but meh, its ok

[ornate mirage]

not a lot

[weary hedge]

you think? I feel like most stalkers would risk their lives for like 10k

[plain mantle]

one question for what is for the anomally that turns the sky red and kills u if u are outside, does it reset the enemies and the loot or for what is it?

[ornate mirage]

assuming coupons translate to hryvna 1 to 1 that's like, 200 dollars

Isn't that an emission

[tough remnant]

The fbi are just studying the monolith, its not that suprising

yea

[vernal lily]

The sky turning red is not an anomaly

[tough remnant]

Its a bunch of goofy ah scientists tryna kill you

it resets artifacts so yea it does reset loot

[plain mantle]

really? and what about the loot, do it resets?

[plain mantle]

nice i hope so, is like a wipe of the map

[vernal lily]

Anomalies move I think, and artifacts spawn again

So yes

[plain mantle]

this game is fire definitly, another question, is there any way to see the finishing % of the game?

or there isnt something like that

[vernal lily]

Like how much you are into the game?

Story wise

[plain mantle]

like how much i finished of the game

[vernal lily]

If you are at the point of no return a message will pop up warning you, but other than that no.

[plain mantle]

love it, i dont have 2 see the 100% message to be happy, then i will just 100% at the steam achivements, omg more i play this game more i love it

That part's a surprise

Im just making sure I'm anticipating in the correct time frame I keep checking here a lot looking for patch notes

[chrome gazelle]

tell me dm and I will not tell a soul

[civic cosmos]

My game crashes every 30 seconds to 2 minutes now so I'm hoping for some stability improvements

[weary hedge]

there gonna patch the strelok nudity bug, i just know it. The devs wanted to keep the meat for themselves, obv

[civic cosmos]

Ive put it to the side until the patch releases

I think you're hiding the fact that the devs will secretly delete everyone's purchase licences so we have to buy the game again and they double their sales numbers

[weary hedge]

the devs are hiding strelok throwing it back from us.

I know theyve animated it.

[weary hedge]

they sell us the disease and then sell us the cure

it never ends.

[still current]

[vernal lily]

[weary hedge]

Maybe the reason we cant shoot vendor NPCs and the gun jams is because they are divine beings sent from the heavens themselves that are the embodiment of greed, and we are powerless to stop them

[chrome gazelle]

i was talking to anyone of the developers

[vernal lily]

Well, we all know what happens to Hamster

[weary hedge]

No dev is going to dm you lil bro

[weary hedge]

He was cast as an offering, a sacrifice to us so we could shoot one, as a little treat for doing evil bidding

[chrome gazelle]

i am not lil i am 5,9 25 years old make 6k a week

[weary hedge]

still not 6'0
yeah ur keeping that lil title

[vernal lily]

Well

[bold smelt]

what is it doctor

[vernal lily]

Who's the one asking for answers that can't be answered

[weary hedge]

Like a rabid dog that needs to be put down?

[vernal lily]

Settle down kids

[bold smelt]

are you referring to him or yourself

[vernal lily]

Or no cookie for you

[weary hedge]

can it not be both?

[chrome gazelle]

so u want to be treated like a ribid dog

[weary hedge]

yes, now why do you crave answers so badly

[bold smelt]

dont we all

[vernal lily]

No one's going to tell you when the patch is. No dev will dm or answer you either. I advise you to just calm down bro.

[still current]

[bold smelt]

i suggest you get angry

[still current]

I'd say in a week or so

As they answered in the #📜┃gsc-answers channel

[weary hedge]

Burn your house down as an offering, and they might answer

[still current]

Aside from that, I respectfully ask you all to keep chill

Cut it off before the iron heats up

[bold smelt]

send a letter directly to czechia or wherever they are located now telling them you are coming

[weary hedge]

use a telegram

[chrome gazelle]

where is the an artifact that respawn constantly

[still current]

Again, cut it off

[bold smelt]

they only use telegraphs in central europe still damn

[still current]

[vernal lily]

All artifacts respawn

Except the special ones

[still current]

They repawn after emissions (at least lorewise)

Almost every single one

[chrome gazelle]

is there any that respawn by just staying where i find it

[weary hedge]

...so i cant respawn?

[vernal lily]

No

[still current]

Yes, after a set time.

[vernal lily]

Well yeah that

Your question made it seem like staying exactly where you found it and it'll just reappear again.

[still current]

Each anomaly spawns random artifacts from a poll of random ones sharing the anomalous nature of the mother anomaly

[vernal lily]

https://tenor.com/view/rat-wobble-vrchat-rat-brrrrrr-brain-go-brrr-brr-gif-23328891

[still current]

So, you can find different artifacts in the same spots, not necessarily the same one cuz its all probability in reality

[chrome gazelle]

how do I get Three Captains show up

[still current]

Huh? Not quite following

[still current]

You mean unique ones

Higher tier artifacts are called special ones (like the hyper cube etc..)

[chrome gazelle]

i am trying to get clusterfuck

[still current]

Ah, you can find it in a certain location even without the quest if I'm not mistaken

[chrome gazelle]

but i can't get the side mission Three Captains

[vernal lily]

Well, I guess I meant the arch artifacts. I keep forgetting what they're called.

[chrome gazelle]

that mission idk how get it to show up

[still current]

Got it, so you get it in sultanhusk or tusk (aka skadovsk) after taking the first mission from the old hag

[chrome gazelle]

i did mysterious case

[still current]

The 3 caps will trigger after the first mission you finish

After some time

[chrome gazelle]

i what mission she have me do

[still current]

She'll tell you that she has a special mission and you'll have to agree

[chrome gazelle]

what is the mission name

[still current]

I don't remember, but ||She'll ask you to kill sultan and beard as they meet to discuss certain events. You'll then find a crane like tower where you'll find a sniper dude and clusterfuck)||

Perhaps it is called the three captains in fact

[teal shadow]

dosent that one have a secret outcome?

[still current]

Either way, you can get the mission after doing the first task for the hag and sultan. You can leave for story mission and comeback or sleep for a day or something

[still current]

It does have 2

I always did the right choice, so idk what exactly happens if I did the other one

[teal shadow]

that made me think if other quests have a secret outcome

[still current]

[still current]

Some quests do

That's why it's impossible to finish the game in one go

But some choices can be mended storywise

Like, the final ones are what truly matters

But some earlier choices can get you other unique to choice missions

Game is good for that only

[velvet summit]

I may have done a oopsy, I was artifact hunting in pryprit and I had stumbled across a scanner, in it was the meat lighter or somthing like that, I think I had sold that lighter somewhere across the zone and for the life of me I can’t find the merchant who I sold it to because now I need it for a quest for the repair merchant in the station of Yaniv, if I go back to that scanner, will the artifact spawn because now I need the mission for it, or should I keep searching?

[still current]

Nope

Try to hunt for it in same nature anomalies

You may come across it again if you start hunting more often

The ones you find in scanners are one use only

And the ones you sell will disappear after trader inventory refresh

So, it's gone until you find another one laying around in an anomaly

[weary hedge]

Does this Dr Kamy guy really have a psydog chillin

[marsh iron]

i wish to pet the doggo

[vernal lily]

Ability to pet the dog in next update

[chrome gazelle]

not true I have a merchant with lot of my artifacts and he rested and still has the artifacts i sold to him

[vernal lily]

How many days has it been since you sold them

Because trader inventory do refresh, but may not happen immediately.

[shell flax]

There’s a bug I’ve seen where some don’t refresh so they just sit there forever

It’s pretty funny seeing the dozens of artifacts you sell to a random merchant keep piling up til the end of the game

[weary hedge]

im still very disappointed that I cannot kill sidrobitch

id love to just unload buckshot into him and throw his corpse into a fruit punch

[vernal lily]

Put a roasted chicken leg on a rat trap, that will be sure to get him outside.

[shell flax]

Sprinkle a piece of a devils mushroom artifact on his chicken while he isn’t looking

[silent valve]

No, you get that wrong. I was a bit baffled about the fact that mods are not going from already done armor to the next same-same model when you're using it instead of pricey repairs. It makes sense, since when you are buying a new car in type which is technically identical to your current but hasnt got handmade or aftermarket goodies, you have to buy them new. From that POV its ok.

[weary hedge]

Is it now legal on the server to talk about history, politics and other similar stuff? And stuff that has conections with these stuff? If yes, please ping me those who want to talk. If no, then dm please those who want to talk.

[floral elm]

No, we're just schizomaxxing about next patch

[vernal lily]

This will never be allowed

[weary hedge]

Sad. Then dm those who want to talk about these

[shell flax]

Allowing political discussion in a discord server tends to be unfathomably risky at absolute best lmao

[weary hedge]

I see

[floral elm]

We can talk about approximate return of our glorious Clear Sky

[weary hedge]

Context pls?

[floral elm]

It's a stalker discord....

[smoky hawk]

yhea anybody that wants Clear Sky revived is an idiot and sucks

next question

[floral elm]

Spoken like a true renegade

GET OUT OF MY SWAMP

[dusk wave]

i wonder how many people actually fall for that

[vernal lily]

The '18 U.S.C. § 922' is basically shipping of firearms illegally lol

[civic cosmos]

It has a geniune learn more link is it not real?

[vernal lily]

This is a joke I have seen other people do

[warped stream]

you can embed links its pretty easy

hyperlink*

[civic cosmos]

I did lol

[warped stream]

iirc its
text

id also always hover over stuff to see where hyperlinks actully redirect

i.e. someone can do something like this
youtube.com/@GSCGameWorldOfficial

looks like a legit link, but the "youtube.com/" part can link you to some sketchy site with malware

[floral elm]

Oh hell nah

[silent valve]

who cares about federal bureau of idi***? come over to Europe and get some 😄

[eager carbon]

"free upgrade enhanced edition" my ass this is an update that was supposed to exist at launch

[wide veldt]

Whats it mean for gamepass cloud players though

[violet dune]

i guess its time to replay 3 games again

[eager shale]

Steam workshop support is huge

[lost needle]

Holy shit free stalker soc,cs and cop remakes??

[tacit jay]

Okay so if I own the trilogy on pc, then I get the upgrade for free?

[violet dune]

its enchanced version, not remake

[mortal pier]

do I keep both old and new versions or im forced to use new one?

[tacit jay]

I just woke up, so I'm processing this.

[lost needle]

Yea mb said the wrong thing

[violet dune]

lightining, shadows, higher texture resolution from what i see

[red remnant]

Do we get them free on steam?

[violet dune]

yes

[summer flax]

oh hell yeah

[violet dune]

models also looks like have more polygons

[red remnant]

My question will they have achievements for me to suffer to get?

[summer flax]

yes they do

[red remnant]

Oh bet time to go back to stalker

[violet dune]

steam dont have achievements

[random tiger]

Enhanced editions will

[red remnant]

All I needed to know

I will suffer to replay these games

[summer flax]

you basically get a new version of the game seperate from the classic in your library, that version has achievements

[red remnant]

And hopefully Gamma gets put on the mod support for steam

[violet dune]

nice, in trailer i didnt saw. now i definatly have to play all 3

[graceful zodiac]

Steam page not up yet, I wanted to wishlist it

[summer flax]

The steam page will probably be up on the same day they release it, May 20th

[kind raptor]

I owned all 3 since June 2017 xD

[spiral wigeon]

I rarely ever talk in this server but having a free stalker update sounds really good ngl. Trailer looks good.

[red remnant]

Just look up enhanced edition

[graceful zodiac]

Are there any integrated mods (qol and bugfixes) or that's pure port from the console version?

[summer flax]

oh damn you are right, thanks

[red remnant]

No problem

I’m 100% hoping the gamma creator adds it to the steam workshop

[pliant veldt]

I own all 3 stalker classics on steam, will I get for free the enhanced edition?

[summer flax]

yes

as a seperate game in your library

[red remnant]

He’s also said he might make a gamma version of 2 when it’s completely finished and it’s more like the previous games

[pliant veldt]

You mean 3 separate games right?

[summer flax]

yes, but also separate from the classic versions too

[pliant veldt]

Oh nice,thanks for explaining.

[toxic marsh]

good workshop integration will be so nice

[red remnant]

I’m with them being separate

[pliant veldt]

10GB each enhanced game

[summer flax]

Separate is the best way to do it, it gives people the choice to play the classic versions if they wish to

[red remnant]

I agree and if there’s something they don’t like in the new versions they still have the OG to go back to

[graceful zodiac]

GSC are not Ubisoft/EA/Blizzard to deleted old versions of their games from existence

[red remnant]

You forgot Crapcom as well

[sturdy verge]

woohoooo glad i own the og games lol

bought it awhile back 3 for 1 price on steam long ago 😄

[red remnant]

I bought them on my account forever ago and played the games when I was 12 or 13 before I think they were on steam

[sturdy verge]

niceeee

[red remnant]

I dunno if steam existed tbh

[sturdy verge]

ogggg lol

[red remnant]

I’m only 27 I wouldn’t say OG per say

[tacit jay]

So old mods won't work on the new versions and the new mods will have limitations similar to console?

[pliant veldt]

I had these 3 games for more than 15 years,I got the DVD from stalker somewhere

[sturdy verge]

you are all awesome 😄

[red remnant]

Same game with updated graphics that’s all

[tacit jay]

Because of the limitations on consoles and safety reasons, actual implementation of Mod.io
SDK allows modifying only already existing files. It means that no new content like new models or
sounds can be added to the games using the SDK. In other words, changes can only be introduced
to already existing files.
The types of files that can be modified:
● Animations
● Textures
● Models
● Videos
● Sounds
● Shaders (only on PC)
Modification of any other file types (like scripts, configs or libraries) is not allowed and the files
will not be loaded by the game and accepted by moderation.

[tacit jay]

That's not what the Faq says.

"Will the remasters support mods created for the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games?

Existing mods are incompatible with the enhanced Legends of the Zone. However, the mod community and stalkers who enjoy the modified Zone experience can still play modifications, as the original trilogy remains available in stores."

[red remnant]

That’s weird

I don’t like that

I’ll be honest that honestly I think will kill the workshop for the game

[tacit jay]

I mean I guess it's not a big deal, the vanilla games are fine and the old versions exist. I'm just curious as to why lol

[red remnant]

True and I am also curious

[graceful zodiac]

I think they want to kill modpacks like anomaly

[red remnant]

Why would they wanna kill mod packs like Anomaly or Gamma?

[charred nova]

There not though

The original games remain unchanged

You can still play any and all currently existing mods

[graceful zodiac]

Dunno, they are not DMCAing the mods cuz they are already very huge and old, that would be PR nightmare

[charred nova]

I mean there is definitely grounds to do it tbh but gsc would never

[red remnant]

We hope they wouldn’t like Cookie said it would be a PR nightmare

[long shuttle]

yo is we all geting free update for stalker 1

[charred nova]

They would have done it years ago

[long shuttle]

i got 3 versions 10 years so

[red remnant]

If you own it already yes

[long shuttle]

ofc i own it hehe

[red remnant]

This is probably the most I’ve talked in this server if I have before this at all

[tacit jay]

While I agree with you. There were plenty of fanmade games and so such that went on for over a decade before being slapped with a DMCA and taken down.

[red remnant]

I’d die for a multiplayer co-op stalker game

[charred nova]

If they do that I’m clocking out

[graceful zodiac]

Modders carried STALKER for 15 years, if they DMCA the big overhauls, that would be insane trust kill

[tacit jay]

by other companies, I mean. not by GSC, but still. It's possible, but also unlikel

[red remnant]

I’d immediately throw my buddy into a cyclone and laugh as he’s turned to paste

[charred nova]

I think gsc has more of a Lego approach

That being you can do what ever you want as long as you don’t charge money for it

[graceful zodiac]

Does GSC even allow new modpacks with their updated modding rules?

[charred nova]

The new versions of the game don’t work with existing mode

That is already confirmed

Also kinda exciting perhaps they upgraded X-ray engine

[smoky hawk]

honestly
that would be a good option

if you CANNOT fork and compile a single download
youre out

[graceful zodiac]

[charred nova]

Stalker milsim slop is no more

[smoky hawk]

peace achieved

[frigid hill]

treyaxis has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[red remnant]

Can’t say curse words big oof

[charred nova]

Only mods can say gamer words

[red remnant]

That blows dude

[ornate mirage]

they are literally standalone

[red remnant]

I just said the f u word

[charred nova]

Yah that’s kinda what I mean

It’s blatant theft

[red remnant]

Can’t be a gamer in the gamer hole

[charred nova]

Considering you don’t need to even own the original games to play

[ornate mirage]

no it's not, and if it is then it's good

keep your tongue off the boot

[graceful zodiac]

Theft would be if modders sold these standalone modpacks

[red remnant]

Mods don’t take money from the game

[charred nova]

I’m just saying what it is

The facts don’t care about no boots

[red remnant]

You actively have to buy the game to use a mod

[charred nova]

Many don’t

Many don’t require you to own any of the games lol

[graceful zodiac]

Only the ones are made to use anomaly as base, otherwsie no. I don't know many standalones

[red remnant]

Other then DOOM I can’t think of any

[charred nova]

Well doom was literally given to the people

So it’s actually legal to do that with doom

[red remnant]

And ID said they wouldn’t touch classic DOOM

[smoky hawk]

they annoy me and therefore, they should be stricken off the internet and fed to Magog

[ornate mirage]

anomaly itself is a standalone, any major mod is, really

GSC explicitly allowed to repack mods with the game too, though not like that mattered for slavic modders

[smoky hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/sure-john-cena-are-you-sure-gif-5783187

Company policy to hate gamma and anomaly

[dry siren]

sometimes i want to beat the customer with a hammer

[red remnant]

Consoomers

Blame the company not the consumer

[winged cargo]

now that's horrible. Order got delayed. To ||February 2026||

[red remnant]

I’m tired of remakes of games that basically remake games that are not even 3 years old

[charred nova]

Stalker is nearly 20 years old

[red remnant]

Stalkers games definitely would benefit from a total remake but I’m glad they haven’t

[ornate mirage]

they wouldn't benefit

[charred nova]

They need to make xray 2.0 first

[red remnant]

Absolutely

[shell flax]

If the trilogy got remade, there would be riots in the server

[charred nova]

Unless they were remade on xray

[red remnant]

I dunno if there would be riots if they were extremely faithful

[charred nova]

If it was ue5

Even we would hate it

[red remnant]

If it was UE5 everyone would hate it absolutely

[smoky hawk]

I would go on a hunger strike

[charred nova]

Bad enough stalker 2 is ue5 I don’t need remakes of the original trilogy on ue5

[marsh ember]

hey guys, will the game have a dlc in the future?
