[slow crypt]

the performance problem concerning the use of lumen is gsc's fault, do not redirect the blame to unreal engine.

[coarse falcon]

Its just like EA pushing Frostbite on everything. It's cheaper for them.

[olive goblet]

i liked RE4 and RE7 but RE village is huge pile of shit

[wanton gazelle]

Resident Evil 2, 3, 4 (Remake) all used the RE Engine, all of which run great, and look great.

[subtle spindle]

idk why you have this urge to talk shit about that game but ok whatever

[slow crypt]

unreal leaves lumen and nanite as tools, but nobody forces studios to abuse them in order to reduce costs and development times, in the case of stalker 2 it is the fault of the development, not of the engine.

[wanton gazelle]

It's the fault of the developer for falling for the Unreal trap, instead of using those 12 years to for example develop Xray 2.0

[olive goblet]

agree i just hate how RE8 looks just bad in difference to RE7 graphics

[slow crypt]

12 years non-existent, because they kicked everyone out in 2011 and in 2005 part of the studio left and founded 4agames because of internal problems.

[wanton gazelle]

It doesn't, they're just stylistically different.

[olive goblet]

fr style was dog*hit

[spare canopy]

Never a truer word spoken about RE Village.

[subtle spindle]

the current iteration of stalker 2 started development in 2018

[wanton gazelle]

That doesn't change anything though. "Current iteration" doesn't matter, they still had much more time beyond what the current iteration is to work on Xray 2.0, especially considering they had 1.0 as a baseline.

[subtle spindle]

gsc was defunct between 2011 and 2018 so it does matter actually

[slow crypt]

again, the new studio does not represent the old gsc, to expect that from them has no meaning.

[smoky hawk]

I dunno bro, you're mad at them BC they couldn't finish the game and are lagging behind but you also wanted them to update a decade old unfinished tech debt engine before starting to make the game

I dunno, you just sound dumb

[subtle spindle]

xray was made in 2002 or some shit

[olive goblet]

guys question out of the topic. can Artyom(metro 2033) survive the zone?

[coarse falcon]

I'll take UE5 over sh1t Bugthesta does with that fossil of creation engine. GsC would end up the same with old Xray.

[slow crypt]

they simply should have worked more on aspects such as creating their own lighting system, and rendering of lods, instead of focusing the development on dlc years before the release of the game, which is seen in the leaks.

[wanton gazelle]

It's a shit engine.

[spare canopy]

It's certainly the Devs fault the game is in a mess. The swapped engines halfway through development like muppets, they then took the lazy quick option to catch up, resulting in the fact they can't do the A-life they went on about, due to the way the map is zoned. So we have this fake god awful version that is nothing like what they said on steams page, that they took down the day before release.

Becaue lets sell a lie.

[smoky hawk]

Yhea we know X-ray 2 is

[slow crypt]

correction, it is the studio, not the engine.

[wanton gazelle]

UE5 is.

[smoky hawk]

You can call both of them bad
Tribalism mindset

[slow crypt]

and well, there are also many conformists here, but what can you do?

[subtle spindle]

i dont think ue5 by itself is bad devs just dont know how to use it most of the time. embark studios are rly proficient with it. the finals and arc raiders both look and run amazing

we're just about starting to see proper ue5 titles coming out

[dusk knoll]

bruh

[wanton gazelle]

It's a shit engine & a cheap excuse out of developing something that distinguishes your own product from the rest. Difference in opinion I suppose.

[subtle spindle]

threat interactive fan lol

[smoky hawk]

Call it, having a bad opinion rather

[coarse falcon]

Looking as old games went, third "new" game (soo 6th in the series?) will be great. 😄

[wanton gazelle]

"Googoo gaagaa opinion I disagree with bad" - Grug.

[smoky hawk]

Damn he's becoming self aware

[olive goblet]

who?

[subtle spindle]

just look at what you are typing

[wanton gazelle]

Don't ignore the quotation marks.

[subtle spindle]

and look at ue5 games that actually had enough time put into them

[slow crypt]

they simply saved the budget for the development of their own lighting system and the charging of lods, nothing else.

[wanton gazelle]

I still think it's a shit engine. If the 3 stooges wish to believe it's the second coming of christ, it doesn't alter my opinion. Hence why it's called an opinion.

[slow crypt]

you believe it is a bad engine, whether it is a bad engine is different.

[subtle spindle]

not just that, ue5 has all of the tools that you would need and a lot of people know how to use it. but i agree that there was a mismanagement of resources

[wanton gazelle]

You believe it's a good engine, whether it is a good engine is different. See how that works?

[slow crypt]

it was quite noticeable that they had no money, just remember the nft incident, in the end unreal 5 was a way to save on production, now after the exit they no longer have that excuse.

[smoky hawk]

You believe yourself smart, whether you are or not is different

[wanton gazelle]

Likewise chump.

[subtle spindle]

saying ue5 bad is the mainstream sentiment but it doesnt go much further beyond that. it doesnt take long to figure out that the engine isnt at fault

[slow crypt]

it's not that I think it's a good engine, I just don't blame it for something that is objectively out of its reach, you talk about engines as if they were little people who make the game for you.

[smoky hawk]

The nft fiasco happened due to the heads relation with the CEO of the Blockchain trading website

[still current]

UE5 isn't that good, at least older versions of it. The recent one is way better according to what I saw and read about it

[wanton gazelle]

No, I talk about engines as the building blocks the game is built on. I know what an engine is, and UE5 is shit.

[still current]

Yes it is

To an extent

[subtle spindle]

idk what version of ue5 the finals is using but it looks very good. i assume arc raiders is on the newer one

[slow crypt]

allow me to doubt you know

[wanton gazelle]

I don't care what you doubt. Nor do I care about your opinions, for which they are. You sure don't care about mine.

[subtle spindle]

you should know then that xray is an insanely janky engine that barely does what it needs to

[wanton gazelle]

Because it wasn't developed beyond what it currently is.

[smoky hawk]

For a person who does not care you certainly do type a lot

[subtle spindle]

upgrading it just doesnt work if you want to make a seamless world

[slow crypt]

honestly it's not that I don't care, you just don't demonstrate arguments, it's a subjective opinion based on a false premise of knowing something when you don't really demonstrate it.

[wanton gazelle]

Alright backseat driver.

[smoky hawk]

Better than being the trunk drunk

[still current]

Witcher 4 demo looked good with 5.6. They fixed most of the bugs from 5.0 and 5.1. S2 uses 5.1.1 if I'm not mistaken

[coarse falcon]

It was loose loose situation anyway. They released it as it was and it was bad but if they would delay for one year (even if possible) people would loose their sh1t.

[smoky hawk]

Yes good thing it is a fake game because I dislike 3

[wanton gazelle]

Listing out 2 games that supposedly look & run better on UE 5.5 doesn't constitute as proof that UE5 is a great engine. It's a shit engine & a copout.

[subtle spindle]

wasnt it just a tech demo

[subtle spindle]

ok i can see 3 games that look and run dogshit on xray

[slow crypt]

body cam ? maybe

[still current]

I liked 3 before getting my current rig. I wouldn't say I hate it, but rather say it's not replayable

[wanton gazelle]

Body cam looks identical to the 5000 other FPS games made on UE5, my point stands.

[subtle spindle]

tbf that game uses camera effects for most of its aesthetic so it doesnt rly count

[slow crypt]

by the way you forget that you can develop a game in unreal 5 as you would in unreal 4 and literally the performance result is better, you are just freaking out, kar.

[smoky hawk]

It's slop
You can just say that

[subtle spindle]

it doesnt look identical tf are you smoking

[smoky hawk]

Yhea it looks worse

[subtle spindle]

how unique it looks is the main reason people ever cared

[subtle spindle]

not saying that it looks better or worse but it is unique

[smoky hawk]

People cared BC it's quirky and idiotic
And they are quirky and cattle

It fits yknow

[still current]

Yeah, basically so, but it showed off the new potentials of 5.6 and best of all, it's said to have way better capabilities in terms of rendering and even more optimized on all levels

[wanton gazelle]

I'm confident that the 3 games made on an engine that was made in 2002 have their issues. Maybe it wouldn't have as many issues if the engine was remade, or upgraded much like Unreal has been over the years. You're missing the point, what a novel concept.

[smoky hawk]

It looks like dog water

[still current]

We'll see in due time anyways

[subtle spindle]

who does the engine upgrades

the gsc that dissolved in 2011?

or the gsc that reformed in 2018 and has no knowledge of xray

[slow crypt]

xray is a 20 years old motor

[wanton gazelle]

The developers upgrade the engine. Capcom made RE Engine in 4 years after scrapping their old engine since it was lost in development hell, now I'm aware it's a bigger company, but they did have a bunch of Microsoft cash to work with.

[spare canopy]

Yup, the gaming industry certainly needs more engines. Competition is good.

[still current]

Xray was definitely unfinished but was somewhat miraculous. I wouldn't really agree of it being dogshit.

[subtle spindle]

what do you mean by developers
re engine exists because there is a long line of engines that came before it, along with a company culture of strong programmers. gsc has none of that

[subtle spindle]

its unstable and limited but yeah i was mostly exaggerating

[wanton gazelle]

So you're telling me Capcom had something to build on? That sounds familiar..

[still current]

If you know what I know, you'd literally say that it works on good faith lmao
And that's absolutely impressive

[subtle spindle]

look up the difference between the release date of re6 and re7 and compare it to stalker cop and 2

re team wasnt dissolved between the 2 games either

idk what is there to not understand. upgrading a 2002 engine in 2018 just isnt a thing

[wanton gazelle]

Capcom had started developing RE before 2011, it was completely scrapped & they started from scratch, finishing it in 2014. RE 7 was released in 2018.

[frigid hill]

lihacc has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[wanton gazelle]

Damn

[subtle spindle]

i didnt even type anything idk what tripped it

[wanton gazelle]

Bot didn't like bad opinions sorry.

[shell flax]

Can’t add ty on the end of the word shit

[subtle spindle]

look at creation engine, its an old engine that been slowly improved but there is still an unbelievable amount of tech debt

[still current]

S2 was supposed to carry on with with another updated version of x-ray but never came to pass
I would've loved to see it ngl (tho, there is an attempt to mod revive it by dozwave if I'm not mistaken.)

[wanton gazelle]

Would've been wonderful.

[subtle spindle]

yeah sadly the company went bust. womp womp

[wanton gazelle]

They also came back, at which point they still had a choice to keep working on Xray. But they chose the fast, cheap option.

[subtle spindle]

how do you think theyre supposed to continue work on an engine which was worked on by completely different people lol

[olive goblet]

when will be next patch?

[wanton gazelle]

"Oh no, this code was created by a different team of people. Ancient, unreadable hieroglyphs."

[slow crypt]

I love to see people who have never worked in their lives with an engine talking about

[subtle spindle]

its really not that simple

[wanton gazelle]

I love to see people argue that different developers can't take over the development of existing projects. It's not simple, but it's entirely doable. It has been done hundreds of times before.

[slow crypt]

you felt identified, didn't you?

couch expert

[terse pecan]

Alr how do I get picture perms

[still current]

Not really. They had a choice of working from scratch or speed up the process and use a rising engine at that point.

Then UE5 came and kinda messed it up

At least in my opinion

[wanton gazelle]

Yeah, they took the fast, and cheap option. Which UE5 is known to be.

UE5 is the reason ALife is nearly impossible to implement lmao.

What you have right now is essentially just fake ALife, and I personally don't see it ever being the same as it used to be. You can get close, but UE5 limits it.

[still current]

Idk abt that tbh, but nothing is really impossible, so we gotta wait and see ig

If not implement, duplicate

[slow crypt]

In that aspect if I can say that it is quite difficult, unreal is not exactly the most ideal engine for open worlds where spawning npc with passive ia at 600 meters.

[wanton gazelle]

Maybe if they were an exceptionally committed team with exceptional work ethic. But judging from the progress so far, it's doubtful.

Here's to hoping I'm wrong & you get the ALife the community deserves. But it's been what, a year now? And we still haven't even gotten something as simple as night vision.

But I suppose saying it's simple is wrong, considering how bloated UE5 is.

[lament pelican]

Lol, a year

[still current]

Alife itself isn't really that sophisticated and it's often mistaken with alife brought by mods (not saying it wasnt exactly so, but the whole thing had massive potential and worked well if left somewhat unrestricted.) The original games had wonders indeed

[spare canopy]

It's the way the devs implimented it. They took lazy easy way out

[subtle spindle]

why?

[slow crypt]

optimization

[wanton gazelle]

Refer to Vlad's recent comment.

[slow crypt]

you cannot include such a complex ia system at such a distance in unreal by abusing lumen and nanite, there is no cpu.

[wanton gazelle]

UE5 has massive issues with render distance, optimization, etc.

That's why long range scopes don't exist. UE5 is to blame. Even AI couldn't optimize the workflow.

[subtle spindle]

true a lot of cpu resources are being used up

[subtle spindle]

ue5 is hiding under your bed

[wanton gazelle]

Kay.

[lament pelican]

A-life fixes coming in 1.5 so they are working on it. Why would you waste your team dev time if it was "impossible" in ue5

[slow crypt]

to shift the blame entirely to the development team does not seem right to me.

[subtle spindle]

youre literally treating it like some big boogeyman who is killing games left and right when other explanations exist

[still current]

Well, yeah. The current engine is resources thirsty it can be done fr but not easily so, especially with the current engine version. Idk, the team is still trying to make things work and I want to give them my good wishes 🙏🏽. They are definitely trying their utmost to work things out and I can see that first hamd

[wanton gazelle]

I blame them for choosing the quick & cheap solution, knowing it would lead to long term issues I'm sure they were aware of.

At the same time I'm aware they were under a contract with Microsoft to deliver a product within a reasonable time frame, so I understand why they chose to deal with the proverbial Devil.

[slow crypt]

I support the development team, but I still think that questionable decisions were made and people are over-justifying.

[subtle spindle]

also its not always black and white, the developers arent always at fault just like the engine. ue5 released in a slightly rushed state and thats part of why we have the current situation

[lament pelican]

Ue5 is the future. Hardware will catch up a little and s2 will be great in a long run. Be more optimistic

[slow crypt]

na

[subtle spindle]

its even worse than that, to even have a deal with microsoft they had to pitch them a reasonable offer. also youre getting the story wrong they started with ue4 and only later moved to ue5

[wanton gazelle]

"Hardware will catch up a little", and there it is lol. Making games for the purpose of selling hardware rather than the current consumer. It's a dark future if that's your hope for it.

[still current]

I don't intend to look all knowing because I'm not. I simply know and see that they are doing what they can and I appreciate it as fan.

[slow crypt]

i'm a fan of stalker not gsc, i don't understand this mania to overvalue a company with such a poor (positive) track record.

[subtle spindle]

S2 will still be here 10 years in the future, its good that they picked a modern engine

[subtle spindle]

this is just how progress goes some people get left behind. no one cried when crysis dropped and it ran like shit

[lament pelican]

It was always like that. Look at witcher tech demo. 100% pre render stuff, zero gameplay and folks are like "this is amazing cant wait to play"

[slow crypt]

to be completely honest it is up to the moders and not gsc.

[wanton gazelle]

Yeah that ain't me. I prefer a product that's made to run well, in the time that it is released. Not 10 years down the line when everyone has already moved on.

[coarse falcon]

I on the other hand don't understand why so many randos on the internet believe they have a solution to everything and if everyoue would do just as they think they should everything would be perfect, cheaper and on time.

[slow crypt]

I have no solution to this, I honestly don't even know what gsc is going to do, I don't know what you smoked.

at best they can try to create manual lods, improve the lumen system and allow nvidia graphics to use hardware and pure hard optimization, who knows how it will work.

[coarse falcon]

But onl;y if they went Xray2 route it would be good and similar.

Just observation

[wanton gazelle]

It's too late for that. They've invested all their money into utilizing UE5.

[subtle spindle]

its lame that a move to a newer version of unreal is basically unfeasible. would fix a lot of issues

[lament pelican]

They dont need to fix a lot. Double the spawn radius (make it 200m), fix NPC X-ray vision, and add offline A-life. Thats it.

[slow crypt]

Well yea....

[wanton gazelle]

The remaining funds are being leeched into keeping this game maintained. But it'll only stretch for so long, money isn't infinite. The game isn't exactly selling like hotcakes anymore.

Which means, they'll have to start selling DLC to keep the lights on.

[subtle spindle]

gsc made enough money i doubt theyll run out anytime soon

[slow crypt]

well...

you have grigor family XD

[wanton gazelle]

Lmao, how much do you think it costs to pay a team of developers alone?

[subtle spindle]

yeah thats true as well. lambo and a broken down lada parked by the gsc office

[subtle spindle]

keep in mind that some people already bought the dlc

[wanton gazelle]

It came with the Ultimate edition, but when it actually comes out is a matter of speculation, and possibly prayer.

[subtle spindle]

and also that different people are responsible for different tasks. mappers, writers, various artists still are employed by the company

[wanton gazelle]

All that's known is that right now they're essentially sitting on a reserve of money that is dwindling. Nothing is being actively added to it. I'm hoping they can fix most of this stuff up before it gets close to running out, or at the very least close to them releasing DLCs.

It's kinda obvious they'll sell CNPP as a paid DLC. It's what people want out of Chernobyl. The power plant.

Or (Chornobyl, w.e.)

[subtle spindle]

highly unlikely

to make the dlc launch more appealing as a reason to come back to the game for a base game expansion also needs to happen

[crimson wagon]

Won't DLC be made with investors' money?

[wanton gazelle]

Highly likely lol, the Ultimate DLC came with a story expansion, which is MOST likely to be CNPP.

[subtle spindle]

also gsc is running low on the goodwill of the community

[wanton gazelle]

That money was mostly spent in developing the core game. Also as far as I'm aware it's a private entity, which mostly leaves them in the hands of Microsoft (?)

[subtle spindle]

just nope we already know that the first dlc is mainly about limansk lol just by the hints that are in the game

[coarse falcon]

No CNPP in datamined files and areas for DLCs are basicly there.

[wanton gazelle]

Some radio charter & screams across a bridge isn't exactly indication it'll be Limansk. CNPP would sell a lot better considering that's what makes Chornobyl what it is.

[crimson wagon]

Stop, there was money for game development. There will be money for DLC. And we can't forget about gamepass

[wanton gazelle]

There was money for game development, which was spent on game development. Funds are not magically infinite.

[crimson wagon]

Who told you that the DLC will be in 1 location?)

[wanton gazelle]

If they manage to release both Limansk & CNPP in a single DLC, then clearly GSC aren't the developers most of us think they are. Clearly they're much more capable than what's displayed currently.

[crimson wagon]

Logically, the development of the main game is still going on, but the DLC is like a separate product that is invested in separately, right?

[subtle spindle]

cnpp is already mostly done either way

its the quests and lore around the area that are missing

[wanton gazelle]

Investors usually invest portions of cash into the main product, DLC or core game. It doesn't matter to them what you're developing, what matters to them is an active stream of cash.

They keep giving you as long as you keep giving them.

[crimson wagon]

Well, look. If you fly in the demo recording, you can see the remote laboratories X-16, X-12, there is also the territory of the Iron Forest and the CNPP. And also mentions of the mysticism of Lymansk

[wanton gazelle]

I have hope, but I don't rely on it. But I do hope it comes true.

[crimson wagon]

Will see. Anyway, there will be 2 DLCs. I would like to see the DLC about the first Caribbean experiment

It's not allowed to discuss leaked material on the official server, dude

[wanton gazelle]

Yeah, "dude".

[coarse falcon]

Wasn't already confirmed we are getting mosin and pistol?

[slow crypt]

then it means that the weapon I mentioned before will probably be charged as a dlc even knowing that it was being developed before the release of the title.

[ebon blade]

in games like burnout paradise this was criticized but with gsc they let it go.

[pure kernel]

hello guys,i just bought Stalker 2 today and it crashes after like 3 min of gamplay i tried disabling and enabling dlss,reduced the grafics,played with many settings but nothing seems to work,can you help me somehow please?

[wanton gazelle]

Hard to help, could be a myriad of different issues. You'd need to contact devs w your specs & the crash logs. Could be the infamous 0005 error which means your ram is going to shit.

Could just be corrupt files.

Reinstall game, verify files, launch as admin, disable overlay, disable razer software, launch in safe mode. That's all I can think of (that is if you're even playing on PC).

[pure kernel]

I don't think it has anything to do with hardware failling on my PC as it's brand new, bought especially for this game
The error is the infamous "GPU Removed", I have the latest available drivers, no heating issues and no memory leaks
At first it crashed during the game intro cut screne but now I can play for a few minutes
I already sent the crash report along with repro steps to the developers via the game crash pop up window

[wanton gazelle]

Did you try running other games? Run a stress test. Furmark.

[pure kernel]

yes i played other games without any issues

[wanton gazelle]

Are you sure your PC is running your GPU rather than integrated graphics? It can accidentally do that.

[pure kernel]

it runs on dedicated GPU

[ebon blade]

https://tenor.com/view/mst3k-mystery-science-theater3000-doors-hallway-enter-gif-17078531

[wanton gazelle]

Idk, honestly the game is jank as shit. There's a thousand different proposed solutions for the issue you're having, and most people say that none of them actually work.

Feel free to Google & try them all.

[pure kernel]

ok man,thanks anyway

[wanton gazelle]

My spouse used to have a constant issue with crashing in S2, ultimately nothing fixed it, had to just power through to the end. I think at some point a patch made it a little better.

[charred nova]

Is she on a Radeon 6000/7000

[wanton gazelle]

No.

[charred nova]

Wack

[wanton gazelle]

4090

[olive goblet]

will we ever get Stalker 3?

[tacit jay]

Roll back nvidia drivers to like dec or jan.

[wanton gazelle]

Rolling back didn't do shit. Also the last time we played the game was in Jan lmao.

It's beat, and done.

[tacit jay]

🤷 alright then.

[wanton gazelle]

Sure in 12 years.

[tacit jay]

Stalker 3 is going to have to be cancelled and then brought back before we see stalker 3

[olive goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/i-need-it-spongebob-spongebob-squarepants-gif-4883506 bruh

[wanton gazelle]

They'll cancel it, disband, reform, stop working on UE5 & do it from scratch in EU10.

thx

[solemn ibex]

who is Fang again? I don't remember names well from the game

[olive goblet]

unknown guy from strelok group, and this is still a mystery who he was and how he died if he ever died

[pearl jolt]

yo

i might buy 50 euros worth of steam cards just so i can buy and download stalker 2 to see what all of the hype is about

more people should make more stalker memes on tiktok to make the game popularity grow even more

[charred nova]

Well

The game kinda turned out mid

[pearl jolt]

It did?

[charred nova]

Yah it’s not finished

[pearl jolt]

Well damn...
Also, does anyone recommend any mods for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl and from which website do I download it from? (I dont play the enhanced version)

[olive goblet]

kinda yea sadly

[olive goblet]

enhanced version has much less critical problems and crashes(original games are buggy asf)

[subtle spindle]

if you buy the enhanced version you get both the og and new versions

[pearl jolt]

I did just the thing is that when I first tried the enhanced version it looked like a mobile game pirated onto a PC but the pirates had a higher budget then the original mobile game

[pearl jolt]

I see

Well I dont have any problems at ALL when playing the non-enhanced stalker shadow of Chernobyl game

[olive goblet]

on the start yea

[pearl jolt]

Even at the end

[solemn ibex]

bro, ap pro?

you speak Russian, right? I reckon

[olive goblet]

borris 3 is bulgarian if i remember right

[pearl jolt]

Ну да / Well yeah

[pearl jolt]

Russian and Bulgarian aren't that different tbh

I can 70-90% understand Bulgarian sometimes

Even ukrainian too

[oak junco]

I wish I knew other languages I gotta use technology

[pearl jolt]

Just learn a new language, dont learn it from duolingo tho

[olive goblet]

fr duolingo fell of right to hell

[oak junco]

Ah didn't they fire everyone and replaced with ai? I don't wanna support that

[pearl jolt]

They did

[pearl jolt]

Agreed

[oak junco]

I'll avoid them

[pearl jolt]

Good

I actually know a website that you can use gimme a sec

[twilit drum]

can someone help me find good S.T.A.L.K.E.R. pfps and banner for discord?

[pearl jolt]

Lemme help you, i'll send the pics in DMs

[twilit drum]

[pearl jolt]

Np

[olive goblet]

yo what you send him?

[pearl jolt]

Lemme show you in DMs

[olive goblet]

cool pictures

[pearl jolt]

Agreed

[fierce nexus]

True

[spare canopy]

Really? No wonder it is garbage now. I was trying to learn japanese... things happen and I stopped. Went back months later and it had all changed, aggresive advertisement. etc etc.

[fierce nexus]

Oh yeah, duolingo fell off hard

[spare canopy]

Well, that sucks hard. It was great

Why does everyone seem to swallow an entire tub of lets complete F things up pills.

[fierce nexus]

Sometimes I think it's because they just hate having a good image

Or money

[olive goblet]

Damn I want real stalker exoskeleton

[sullen lake]

Does the tutorial make the monsters easier to kill? Decided to restart while in the middle of the campaign and it took like less than half the mag of an AK74-U to kill the Vamp on Veteran.

I think S2 doesn't really have the worst economy compare to the trilogy.
I remember picking up a gun that supposed to worth 40000 RU, but trader only take it for 2000 or so, so unless you play the game on Veteran(or you're new to the series)you don't need to worry.

im assuming i cant enter chemical plant since i didnt side with the ward?

theres a stash i wanted to get but i think its locked

Day 2 of asking GSC:
How do you respond to issues with Game Legends, your recommended store for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Collectors Edition? They owe me 390 Euro for an order canceled on 29.04.2025, promised by 09.05.2025, but they didn't refund. Later they lied that i'll get my money back “shortly” on 12.05.2025, after this they ignored me, my bank, and my demand letter from 28.05.2025. PLAION is also silent. Others complain too ( for example on reddit, and some ppl on this discord). Can GSC press PLAION to resolve this? It's been over a month that and i still don't get my money back.

[wanton gazelle]

Do you not have a thing called a chargeback in your country? It's very easily accessible here in the states.

[compact mica]

Good, say in advance that I don't know where to put my request to see if the devs can add it in options, say that one thing that fell in love with Stalker 2, It is that in the first trailers of the game it was seen as zoom only looks at them, and not as this is currently, i am ex-military and therefore the closest to realism falls in love (And more being a game like this!).

• You could do the favor developed developers to implement in game options that we can raise whether to have it like this now or only the zoom in the long -range sights!?
  Supposedly it would not have to be difficult since if at the beginning of the game it is implemented, it is only to add a button in options for those we want to play that way.
  Hopefully my request is understood, I know that this option usually throws a little more resources, so the button to turn off or turn it on in options.
  Forgive for English, I've been using a translator 😅

[sacred obsidian]

[vapid galleon]

Did sony, the ip owner of the last of us series, was agresive against negative reviews about the last of us series(especially in the last years where the series had some bad decisions)? Or they admit they did wrong? Or at least shut up?

they adding mod support for xbox at some point right?

[charred nova]

Yah but it’s mod.io based so basically just textures

Like what they had for the original trilogy on console for mods

[proper tide]

ahhhh

[halcyon karma]

not really

Kulik once said that total conversions will be possible, but tbf I am not sure if he meant for console as well, but I think he did. But I don't think mod tools at the start will be that complex and fleshed out until much later

[charred nova]

The much worse outcome a rumor I’ve heard

Mods must be console compatible

Which if true 💀

[halcyon karma]

If GSC wants to let people make total conversions, and at the same time, they must be compatible with consoles, that means total conversions are coming to console as well?

[charred nova]

I feel forcing modders to support the series s is gonna drive modders away

[proper tide]

but it would make me really happy

[charred nova]

No one would be happy

[violet dune]

[violet pumice]

Is worth to play?

Chronological ?

From frist to last

[hidden yoke]

Go play SoC, then CS, then CoP first

[violet pumice]

On English pls

I play metro exodus to I know already game like stalker same studio

[hidden yoke]

Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, Call of Pripyat, Heart of Chornobyl

in that order

[violet pumice]

You play metro?

From where I can find cheap

[pearl jolt]

Maybe try waiting until the game gets a discount on steam

[ionic orchid]

Releasing this game on console was a mistake in the 1st place

Barely playable with highest rig

[hardy totem]

Discussing piracy is not allowed on this server

[violet pumice]

Thx for info I today just all game from metro and I need new story game

[hardy totem]

Yeah we got some of that over here

[violet pumice]

Now I have game

[foggy olive]

Just try vanila game or mods. You always can end original story of the game (SOC, CS, COP, HOC) after that you can find anomaly or each other mod

[violet pumice]

Is scary?

[oak junco]

So many better mods then anomaly

[foggy olive]

Anomaly is good if you love sandbox

[violet pumice]

Or like metro?

[oak junco]

Teamlite, legends return, call of the zone surpass anomaly by large margins tbh

[foggy olive]

It's looks like similar but you would be have open word, not only story line

[violet pumice]

How much gb have S.T.A.L.K.E.R clear sky?

I have only 300 gb

[ionic orchid]

Naked ? Something like 5 probably

And why would you start by clear sky anyway 🤣

[ionic orchid]

Start by G.A.M.M.A modpack for Stalker Anomaly

[violet pumice]

Thx for info idk is

[ionic orchid]

Yeah no problem mate glad to be of service

[foggy olive]

I think this is what he will need to harden his body. The zone does not like the weak. So he will have to suffer as much as possible and die, die a lot. Sometimes even from things that should not kill you

[fierce nexus]

Mr. Vist would like a word

[charred nova]

10 percent on Xbox 90 percent on pc

The many suffer for the few

[foggy olive]

vanilla stalker is as close as possible to the book roadside picnic. with glitches in the game you will be killed by anything, a corpse wandering around, a rail nearby, or because you just walked in the wrong place. the game resembles a world in which invisible anomalies kill you everywhere 😄

[silent atlas]

Anyone know if theyre going to implement better indicators of whether someone is hostile/neutral/friendly? In OG's aiming reticle showed red/yellow/green and their faction name.... in Stalker 2 I cannot tell who is who

[charred nova]

Probably gonna be a mod

[foggy olive]

Unfortunately only patches on the sleeve

[foggy olive]

if you play for a long time you will eventually know who is from which faction by their costumes. but for such a long time it will be quite difficult to understand. there are patches on the dead bodies you can understand who they are, and it will be visible by their costumes. they all have a unique form of clothing

[silent atlas]

I know what you mean, but it'd be nice to be able to tell from far away. I like knowing if I should approach or not. Maybe having binoculars would suffice but we don't even have that.

[foggy olive]

The friends neutral enemies system is in the game, if you aim the scope it will change color as far as I remember

[fierce nexus]

Troo

[fierce nexus]

Such is life in the zone

[silent atlas]

hmm maybe its a toggle option?

[foggy olive]

try to get close to the stalker and hover your mouse over him (without aiming) there will be a green color if the friend

Reset your controller settings to default, it should fix it

did they fix the bug that there was no emissions after going to pripyat?

[wide timber]

has the game gotten better since release? reinstalling sinse last time i played during the relsease

[delicate fulcrum]

heaps better, way more stable, heaps of quest fixes, Alife isn't quite as awful (improvements still needed on spawn range imo) and human opponents use cover more and are less aimbot like

[shell flax]

Do you not have charge backs

Actually why am I trying anything, someone actually tried to help you and you… ignored them? Maybe? Idk

[unique bluff]

I want reply from GSC, since shop ignores me and my bank demands

They recommended game legends as go to store for CE

[solemn ibex]

did you try writing to support on the website of GSC?

[unique bluff]

Im done with writing emails through official sites as im constsntly ignored by Game Legends, Plaion, etc. I want to receive any answer in some public place

[solemn ibex]

oh are you Austrian?

[unique bluff]

Nah, GL was default shop for orders from EU

[solemn ibex]

are you polish or what are u

[unique bluff]

Ye

[solemn ibex]

I am not sure if it is helpful now, but don't buy anything unless it is through paypal or any bank without customer protection insurance

[frigid hill]

.popiolek has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[solemn ibex]

I had many issues ordering from Austrians, they are shady (from my experience) when it comes to refund, it is unbelievable

[unique bluff]

Also chargeback can take some time, if they wont respond to bank’s demand

[solemn ibex]

Use PayPal if you can, in Europe or Germany it is almost a must, you get an extra layer of protection, because PayPal does not give the companies money immediately, only after half a year if you did not issue a complain, so any time you can pull money back to your account if you are not satisfied

I got refunds for Mc'Donalds even. When they were doing an order for 30 minutes and I had to catch my train, so they issued an immediate refund for my burger 😄

[unique bluff]

Whats sad that there are some people who didnt cancel order and are waiting for February 2026 shipment - as for me I call this a BS they already had over 6 months for that

[solemn ibex]

but in this case, since you did not use paypal, you need to contact the company directly, or threaten them with legal action if they don't comply, that is what people do, for example, in Germany. Companies always fold, when you say "mein Anwalt kontaktiert euch gleich" (my lawyer will contact you soon)

I don't think GSC can really do anything here, to be frank

[unique bluff]

I know they can’t help me in getting my money back, what I want is to issue some kind of statement about their recommended shop

Cause it should’ve been the safest way to order

[solemn ibex]

I have a feeling that they would also not do that, unless it is a massive backlash

just save your nerves, contact the company push them a little with the lawyer, maybe read up on Austrian laws about refunds (use chatgpt for ease)

write them an official email with clauses from the laws, call them in a couple of days and ask for a decision

[wanton gazelle]

I've asked this again, does your country not have a chargeback system? Here in the states I can simply call my bank, issue a CC chargeback & my money is immediately refunded to me. There's no red tape, it's insured. The bank puts the dealer in the red if they have to.

[solemn ibex]

in Germany at least you don't always have an insurance like that, you need to get a specific bank account and pay a small fee every month for an insurance like that. So I assume in Poland it is similar

[wanton gazelle]

In the states there's no fee. Accounts are free & all your funds are insured. You have six months to call your bank and issue a chargeback, at which point they refund you the money you've lost from a fraudulent transaction.

Shame you guys don't have it. It's a great system.

[silent valve]

Pfff, you invented the smart card for having as much credits as possible, dont tell the rest of the world how to deal with money, dude 😄

[wanton gazelle]

Irrelevant point. It's a great system for ensuring you don't get into financial loss from being defrauded.

If I was in that guy's shoes & got scammed from a physical edition, I pick up my phone, tell the rep that the product I paid for was never delivered, my money is immediately given back to me. It's great.

As for what to do in his case, he's pretty much shit out of luck if the company keeps ignoring him. Lawyer fees would quickly add up to a lot more than the actual financial loss from the initial purchase.

If GSC gave a shit, they'd help him.

[silent valve]

Correct. Im in the same situation an awaiting my physical goods from the CE and the company responds, that this would take still more than first told timeframe which is long gone. Im not entirely sure how long the paypal recall window is actually open but I recall something around 180 days or so. That said you'll have 2 points to obey: 1. The game must be devided from the physical items to get a clear amount of payback 2. When Paypal refunds you the complete amount, thats also not correct, because the game was delivered.

So, for your bank call: How to tell them how much to subtract just for the game? Basic edition and lowest amount?

[wanton gazelle]

Paypal's coverage is 160 days, maximum.

As for your bank, details don't matter. They look at the entire purchase, how much you've spent, and all of it is charged back. Hence why it's called a chargeback, it's reversed.

[silent valve]

But this means, you'll get the game for free

[wanton gazelle]

Yes, it does.

That's the point of having your money insured.

[silent valve]

So you would take it as a compensation for the long waiting period, I see. Smart move but I dont think that this is working, because you got a partial item delivered

[wanton gazelle]

You get your money given back to you in full. You keep the game. Bank takes a small hit to cover your loss.

[silent valve]

I understand, so the deeper thought is, you got your money invest saved at any cost and the bank returns your spent amount if correct or not?

[wanton gazelle]

The bank charges back the full amount, that's correct.

[solemn ibex]

as I said before, if you use PayPal you can claim your money back, a lot of people do in Germany. Some banks have this insurance for free (I use it) some older banks where old people keep their money either don't know or don't have this system unless you pay a small fee. It is a great variety of choices.

[wanton gazelle]

The way a bank works is you deposit your money. The bank then loans that money out to borrowers at a certain interest rate. That interest rate means profit for the bank, and profit for you (I literally make money by doing nothing, just keeping money in a savings account). They really don't give a shit about covering the difference in a purchase you've made.

Also a bank will sometimes extend beyond 6 months, unlike PayPal. I've seen banks honor chargebacks for purchases that are over a year old.

Paypal has a hardcap at half a year, non negotiable.

[silent valve]

When you are exceeding the limit of payback your done and Paypal couldnt help

[solemn ibex]

there is a limit?

[silent valve]

160 days

[solemn ibex]

oh I mean, sure, I feel like it is on you when you exceed 160 days 😳

[silent valve]

I have to look when I'd ordered S2, but the feeling is last year September or so. That means more than 6 months = done

[wanton gazelle]

It'll most likely be an expensive life lesson then. I've had some of those.

[solemn ibex]

yeah, I mean I would not use PayPal for that, also you did a pre-order, it is a sin in gaming community...

also I go as far as to say, if a person does a preorder they get what they deserve 😳

[wanton gazelle]

If I buy something knowing it won't be delivered to me for a long time, I do it via my credit card, via my bank. If something goes wrong, they issue a chargeback beyond 6 months. You should only use PayPal for immediate purchases.

[silent valve]

Ordering was in November 24 so the window is still open a few days. But I doubt it, that Paypal would refund, because the game was delivered and normally you have to transmit the value of the physical goods. As already stated before, how to calculate that? Even Paypal cant do...

[wanton gazelle]

Have you tried to ask for a refund?

[silent valve]

No, at least we're talking about (considering the game is worth €69,-) 120,- Euro the refund. But again: How to prove the single amounts?

[wanton gazelle]

You're not trying to prove anything. Did you order the physical edition?

[silent valve]

Id ordered a physical CE and the game came via DL code, as usual

[wanton gazelle]

Okay, you didn't get your physical CE. Do you have correspondence with the company? Tracking numbers? Chat logs? Proof that the item was not delivered?

[silent valve]

I got a mail with a formal excuse for the exteme delay of delivering the physical goods

[wanton gazelle]

Create a refund ticket, include your initial purchase receipt, the delay email, ask for a refund. It's that simple. Don't overcomplicate it.

The worst they can do is say no.

[silent valve]

I have to figure out, how much I want those physical items first 😉

Never much cared for LoDs or graphics, NGL.

[fierce nexus]

LoDs bother me

Especially pop in

But I can handle lower graphics

[violet dune]

good old LODS

or they make some parts so low poly in distance it kills immersion if you zoom with scope. its like roblox

[fierce nexus]

Fallout is bad for scope LoD

[violet dune]

yea, but in S2 its too weird, because its parts, i would understand everything in distance is very low poly, but its just random buildings or cliff, but other stuff looks pretty good.

3 buildings 2 of them very low poly and last one looks decent 😄

[fierce nexus]

Troo

But also

S2 is peak

Right? @oak junco

I don't think BDL's gonna agree with you

[fierce nexus]

He might have before lol

[charred nova]

Cus stalker 2 is a 7/10

Mid

[fierce nexus]

It's rough, but I still love it

[vapid galleon]

xD

[hardy totem]

There's plenty there to love. Still needs a lot of work though

[charred nova]

As is game is mid

[fierce nexus]

There's room for improvement

I agree

[fierce nexus]

Yee

[strange hazel]

fair, I personally care tho lol since when I take a screenshot I want it to look perfect with no issues but then theres THAT ONE BUILDING WHICH IS 50% VISIBLE!!! I want them to fix the LODs as soon as possible 💔 its so bad in Pripyat especially

[violet dune]

i send report letter with screenshots and huge pile of text about LoD in Patch 1.1 i think. not much changed

[oak junco]

I say heart of potential if gsc can hit a homerun..

[violet dune]

yea, if they separate console and pc builds, they might have a chance

[oak junco]

This

[fierce nexus]

I must be out of the loop lmao

I thought everyone loved the game lol

[fierce nexus]

Then again, I've not played the game in a couple months

[oak junco]

Tbh i haven't played since nov

[fierce nexus]

I dunno, game still has 8/10 on steam

Did they bork something up or are people still mad about bugs?

I see the recent reviews are mixed

[violet dune]

pros:
amazing map, atmosphere, ost
cons:
AI, Alife is dumber than old stalkers
missing a lot of "default" features
half of map feels empty with no reason to explore, you go 30km deep into swamps just to loot stash with 1 sausage and 2 waters

[fierce nexus]

True, swamps kinda pissed me off with all the water lol

[violet dune]

what im thinking, they fixing 1k UE5 game crashes on all platforms each patch and just dont get time to work on QoL or any content, noticeable in game fixes. if this is not a case and they just this slow... well i dont expect much from future patches

[stuck seal]

I noticed that during many emissions, NPCs will sprint outside, even during a scripted emission during a cutscene, a few characters dived out of the door and into the emission. I wonder if it’s a glitch or intentional.

[violet dune]

they just want a blessing

[stuck seal]

At first I thought it was a glitch but yeah it could be some visual storytelling

[shrewd needle]

So can I; never had a problem with worse graphics.

[shrewd needle]

Good thing I don't really get 'un'immersed with LoDs.

[shrewd needle]

Yea, I can imagine why, but c'est la vie. Besides, I'm on a (relatively) low-end PC, so...eh...

At least the game runs.

I hope they drop the plans for multiplayer, it just seems so pointless.

[wanton gazelle]

They shouldn't have advertised it in the first place. If they drop plans for MP, it might have legal consequences against those that purchased the ultimate edition, which promised exclusive content for MP.

[charred nova]

Come back next year

[vapid galleon]

[plain fiber]

I've heard repeatedly that it's only going to be super basic, old-school DM, TDM, CTF, etc. No battle royale or anything modern.

[river chasm]

Don't know for sure but I'd definitely keep expectations tempered

[charred nova]

It’s not even worth it if you ask me

[wanton gazelle]

Tbh I'd hate battle royale. It's generic and overused. What they could've done was open world survival with RPG mechanics. Even if just for 2-4 people. Incredibly simple execution. But I suppose they're too lazy to implement unique co-op quests & mechanics.

But maybe I'm wrong & it'll be the greatest thing since sliced bread (copium).

[violet dune]

BR in 2025...

[drifting forge]

Mol1t did say theyll never add coop cause it doesnt fit the vibes and shit

[violet dune]

i want 4 man squad. Skif, Strelok, Scar, Korshunov

[wanton gazelle]

Sure, let's go with that lol.

[scenic scaffold]

Faction extraction. do quests for Duty/freedom/ward/monolith/etc (whoever you choose) whether it be bounties, mutant hunt, artifact retrieval, POI take over for faction, escort missions for scientist/commanders. could be co-op. (scales to how many players) could be pvpve. private server, public server access for more options/difficulties etc. infinite replayability once they get A-life to a proper point.

pay me GSC.

[scenic scaffold]

and it's the worst decision they could make honestly. "doesn't fit the vision" is a really boring cop out answer.

[drifting forge]

Yeah

[scenic scaffold]

So they embrace corpo side by pushing out an unfinished game for a quick buck. enhanced edition for another quick buck. and they can't for 2 seconds read their audience and consumers and embrace the idea that STALKER co-op would be the greatest amount of fkin fun ever? and could easily bring in more players with no interest in a singleplayer experience?

[stuck seal]

Since player experience seems to be the main focus

[scenic scaffold]

and it wasn't very functional to begin with. and they plan to do a TDM capture the flag bs that 10 people will play. why not use the side quests you have now as a template, smack another 1 or 2 players and scale the balance for a perfect openworld sandbox shenanigans.

sorry i forgot im at super weenie hut jrs

[stuck seal]

They make the product, as consumers we decide if we want it or not. Often devs try to please every section of a player base, and that often backfires

[scenic scaffold]

it's just they haven't even shown or probably have not gotten into the core of their multiplayer functions yet, and it's not too late for them to unfk their plans

[stuck seal]

Considering they put multiplayer content part of different editions, I don’t think that’s a possibility, personally I’m only concerned about the singeplayer experience of the franchise, if multiplayer was never advertised my opinion on the game would not change

[scenic scaffold]

and god... please, if ANYTHING please update your Unreal Engine for the love of god. The UE version is not good at all

I just can't expect the modders to fix everything in this game, so hopefully the devs gain some consciousness and make some smart decisions

[wanton gazelle]

They sold the product, the money came. It doesn't sell anywhere near as much anymore, less incentive to put as much effort as they once have.

Let's get real, so far all the patches have been extremely minor & inconsequential.

I know it's repetitive, but the inability to add night vision in what, 8 months now? Beyond ridiculous.

[oak junco]

That's actually insane lol

[wanton gazelle]

It's insanely incompetent.

[misty salmon]

I agree

[wanton gazelle]

I'd understand if the game was made in an active war zone, but alas it isn't. There's no excuse.

[oak junco]

They gotta do better

[scenic scaffold]

STALKER 2: A-LIFE RESTORATION SUPER DELUXE 2028 EDITION

[oak junco]

Hell look at the mod scene modders move much faster and this is a hobby project for them

[wanton gazelle]

Even the modders can't do much because the SDK hasn't been released for 8 months lmao.

[scenic scaffold]

modders have it, just cookin

sdk is in closed beta

[oak junco]

Oh I mean stalker modders not stalker 2 modders lol

[latent cloak]

do artifacts respawn in clear sky?

[tacit jay]

They take a very long time.

[latent cloak]

how long?

[tacit jay]

5 hours, but you hvae to be on the map that you are searching on, so.. say the great swamps. You gotta stay on that map for 5 hours which is like 2 ingame days or something?

[latent cloak]

and each map has its timer?

[tacit jay]

Yeah, but not every map allows for them to respawn, it also might be less or more time per map. Not sure. I think the general consensus is 5 hours irl on that map. You can't rest in clear sky and pass time ina ny other way. All timers are separate from one another.

[latent cloak]

thank you, that sucks, i though it chad a chance to respawn per emission

[tacit jay]

Clear sky doesn't have emissions in it, at least non story related emissions.

That's call of pripyat

[latent cloak]

it has

i had to hide in a structure

[tacit jay]

You know what, you're right. My bad. It's been a while lol.

In cop, emissions cause artifacts to respawn. I don't think they do anything in clear sky though.

[latent cloak]

thank you, cop being the goat as usual u.u

[tacit jay]

Well each one came out a year after the last so you know lol. They learned something from each release.

[oak junco]

Weird way to spell soc

[latent cloak]

[plain fiber]

I would love CO-OP mode. I'd be dragging my friends to play it with me so that I get to be the grizzled Expert in an exoskeleton who's lived in the Zone for 15+ years.

GSC claims that they don't want to do this because they think it would ruin the loneliness and atmosphere or something, but personally I disagree. (Well, okay, it would probably depend on who you're playing it with.)

Never mind, someone already told you that last part. Even still, I think you could maintain that feeling and atmosphere if you played with the right people.

[wanton gazelle]

It's funny how the argument is that "Oh it'll ruin the atmosphere", despite the fact that in the book the games are based on, the characters almost ALWAYS travel in a pair / group.

I personally think it's just a cheap excuse out of working on co-op.

[plain fiber]

I mean...I certainly wouldn't want them spending the kind of time and resources a good CO-OP mode would take right now. Other things are higher priority for sure.

I'm with you though, the excuse feels lame. Hopefully down the line they'll change their minds or at least consider it.

[wanton gazelle]

I'm not even sure what said time or resources are being spent on now.

Seriously considering buying Stalker 2 but I'm seeing lots of people being negative about the game. What would you guys suggest, wait for updates or just pick it up?

[wary crag]

oh no definitely buy

it has it's peculiar moments here and there, but aside from that it is a really solid game

[pliant flare]

And does the world feel good and all or?

[ebon blade]

Buy it.

The people happy with it, are busy playing it.

Of course the whiners and complainers, are going to be spending their time trashing it.

They are a tiny minority that is vocal because they can be.

[wary crag]

yeah ! i love how they've crafted it
has a very good tone

[rough basin]

Haven't played in few months, worth coming back?

[smoky hawk]

wait

[gloomy nebula]

guys whats on the steam beta branch

[gloomy nebula]

nooo. well it depends. its not different if thats what youre looking for. gonna be a bit

[wanton gazelle]

If you get it, know that it's vastly different from the originals in terms of its AI. It doesn't have night vision either, nor can you go to CNPP. If that's not a deal breaker, then get it. I'd get it on sale if I were you.

[oak junco]

stalker 2 is deff better then how it was at launch and 1.5 should make it even better but personally id wait till its on a good sale

[sudden crown]

Game makes me go all over their map. Gives me sad Russian narratives, old sad stories, to fuel me. I get thrown at me endless food and hydration. At first I am excited. Finally I realize this is just another cruel joke being played on me by a game designer that should be eatting shit in hell.

[violet dune]

just wait 2.0

[oak junco]

this place feels like a ghost town now

[river chasm]

Just feels more like it did before the launch hype

That what most people would do to new games, only 15% of users play new games last year, according to a report.

are you guys using mods? took a long break and maybe I will dive into it again. How did the "mod market" evolve? any recommendations?

it's a real disappointment when none of new weapons in Q2 update are modern guns

just mosin and M1911

[smoky hawk]

3 world wars man

[short pagoda]

ah sry bad wording from my side. Stalker 2

[smoky hawk]

wait for the SDK to enter open beta

[gritty helm]

i dont need old guns in games like stalker

[smoky hawk]

yhea, they should add the nail gun and the gravity gun

[gritty helm]

almost never use them when there are modern guns

[wanton gazelle]

You have a problem with flintlocks & trebuchets? Smh.

[hardy totem]

Portal gun when?

[smoky hawk]

Ill have you know the great jekan blessed us with the zip gun for a reason

do not bersmich his name

[gritty helm]

this isnt fallout, modern guns still get into the zone

[smoky hawk]

Fallout also has modern guns so

add the G11 to the zone, trusts

[gritty helm]

which fallout has g11?

[smoky hawk]

FO1 and 2

the good ones

[gritty helm]

but it's pointless for a top down TB combat game

[smoky hawk]

what?

[gritty helm]

Ukraine Devs only need to add all guns that their army use, that will be more than enough

[smoky hawk]

I hope not, they already added the Kharod and that looks ugly as all sin

just bring the SGI-5k and Ft-200m bck

[oak junco]

[weary hedge]

Bullet sponges

[jolly shoal]

Discord mods vs social interaction

[jolly shoal]

None really

[coarse falcon]

I found one use. You could drag bodies in old games (no reason to do that too, maybe to haul more stuff to sell) so you know people would be moaning that it is not present here so it is usefull in cutting down b1tching.

At least here we have one side mission that uses it.

[soft trout]

Ok so I'm past the point of no return and I need to know something:

||Does Korshunov regenerate his shield passively if you don't hit him for a while? I've died on this stupid boss fight like 40 times. ||

I honestly can't tell if that's a bug or intended.

||I've hit him with about 12 grenades, 200+ 7.62 AP rounds from a fully upgraded Dnipro, 150+ 5.45 rounds from an unmodified Dnipro, about 40 shotgun shells from a fully upgraded Saiga and he has only just done the blue sphere thing right at the end. At this point I'm just dying because I run out of ammo. That and the guys constantly shooting me in the back because it takes about 5 full minutes to get his shield down. I knew it was the point of no return, but he's taking more bullets than a pseudogiant and I'm only half way. ||

I'm losing my goddamn mind.

[polar forge]

I think i should play this game again and finish it. The point in the story i'm at currently.It's just so boring. They made the map so empty, no settlements with people around or anything. And I have to run across the map every freaking mission. But I really want to see how this game ends

[coarse falcon]

Too much people would make zone wierd imo. It's semi desolate place in the end. I think current npc density is ok.

[coarse falcon]

||after he is down do you run up to him to perform "execution" or do you just wait for him to reset? If latter, there is not enough ammo in whole zone to do it that way.||

[soft trout]

I'm definitely doing the thing that needs to be done.
||The problem is that he takes forever. After the first execution animation, his soldiers start shooting me in the back, as well. It's genuinely impossible without the RPG or gauss gun.
Sometimes he walks to the fan but he just stands there. There's no blue light around him so I can't do the execution. I can't tell if it's bugged or what. I feel like I need to load a save before the point of no return and bring in the gauss gun.
||

[coarse falcon]

Strange, i was in that fight and it went ok. Was hard but doable (on stalker difficulty). I was maining gaus back then too so that might have been a factor.

[soft trout]

I'm on veteran. I think I have to load an old save. That's really annoying. ||His stupid sci-fi exosuit|| just eats hundreds of AP rounds and a dozen grenades like it's nothing.

[coarse falcon]

Exo and magic shield. It is the stalker way. 😄

[eternal gale]

anyone know if they plan on adding anymore weapons?

also heard something about multiplayer like the old games had but dont know if its confirmed or not

[hardy totem]

multiplayer confirmed

yes, the roadmap confirmed it

Thx

[errant island]

is the multiplayer going to be coop / 1-4player open world thing or its own pvp/e gamemode

[hardy totem]

No coop, TDM pvp-type stuff most likely

[errant island]

guessing the pvp will be a little like tarkov
coop would be fun tho even if its just 1 friend you can invite

[oak junco]

pvp will be like the trilogy basic and not really the focus

[warped stream]

Nah exactly what Al said, pretty much just the cod tdm layout

[errant island]

ive got the feeling itll be active for 2 weeks then turn out like battlefront 2 but i wont wanna diss it js yet

[oak junco]

There's just so many better fps then stalker 2 thats designed for mp and not just an afterthought so Its hard to wanna play something with such bad performance

That and no anti cheat so its just gonna be a bunch of hackers lol

[halcyon karma]

Who said no anti-cheat lmao

[cobalt fiber]

I agree it'll probably be ass

[violet dune]

to have MP, you need constant money inc to sustain servers, AC, maintenance, updates... its just money sinkhole without good online service.

[oak junco]

Did they outright say there will be ?

With how things are im not super confident id like to be proven wrong but we will see

[violet dune]

also weapon balance, map side balances, etc. its not 2010. people just will flood with negative rating on steam

[halcyon karma]

Did they outright say there will not be?

lol

[oak junco]

Excellent counter point

[halcyon karma]

like, let's not just say stuff that is not even confirmed to be true or not

[oak junco]

Id like them to confirm tbh they've been silent for awhile

[violet dune]

i hope they stay silence and scraps it in the long run

[drifting forge]

Lmao

[violet dune]

and put resources into DLC

[drifting forge]

Yo Mozi, long time no see. How you doin?

[weary hedge]

[oak junco]

We need AN-94 back in man

[drifting forge]

Yeaaaa. At least as a unique weapon

[oak junco]

I beat the trilogy with the obokan its goated hyperburst is peak

[halcyon karma]

MP is not coming soon, so no reason to.

[violet dune]

intstead of TDM. they could release Race arms or 4player squad vs monolith waves. i feel like those type of game mods would keep playerbase more interest. to have pure TDM will be difficult to please community. games who has full focus on this type of mode gets roasted by community and i doubt GSC gonna spend M's for this.

[halcyon karma]

My mind is hurt and my soul is broken.

[drifting forge]

Hope you get better man

I cant progress any further, mission always leads to memory leak and crashing (32gb ddr5 7200mhz). Prypjaz fight against monolith inside a building

first run, 70h in and its annoying af. Been looting like a goblin, only 2 enemies left aaaand crash

ive only had abt a days worth of gameplay i js keep quitting because of save corruptions or random deletion

i hope they fix it soon because its such a pain

its not even like i get SUPER far into the game it just annoying replaying the same 10 missions over n over 😭😭

[terse osprey]

they have to, its insanely frustrating

[errant island]

it always happens around 4-6 hours in for me

but the an is goated imo solid gun to have

[coarse falcon]

Nah, it wouldn't last in the zone. But we have gaus so scifi guns are quite ok i guess.

Modders will add it over time.

[oak junco]

tbh i mainly like it for the hyperburst mech its got its unique

[drifting forge]

As a unique weapon tho

Id love a pre 1st explosion AKM with good pen as a unique gun

[oak junco]

uniques are cool the fast firing ak was neat

[shell flax]

[proud hare]

Where are you Oh monolith , I can't hear your voice anymore ...

the stalker is too tall to enter some places in remastered pripyat, and the auto-aim makes the stalker shoot nowhere near the enemy. Also the gyro aim locks up if the user is aiming near an enemy.

are the devs not having more pressing issues to attend to?
