[naive geode]

Are the devs in this server?

[charred nova]

No

Reach out to mol1t

Dm them bruh

Don’t randomly ping gsc

[naive geode]

Ah dam

Sorry

[ruby gale]

I mean its not that bad, better to fight something rather then nothing, plus all the loot

[charred nova]

It’s a lot better than it used to be

[ruby gale]

Beforehand I wouldn't really run into anything, now im actually having to be aware of what's around me

Like today I finished off a squad of 3 monolith and was jumped by 4 zombies

[primal nimbus]

Used the better ballistics mod. I like. Will use it in the next playthrough

[tired ruin]

It’s nice af

Now if some could drop a an94 mod 🥲

[ruby gale]

Its gotta have the double tap single fire, but id prefer a FAL or F2000

[ruby gale]

Its perfect, guns actually do damage and finding cover is essential

[primal nimbus]

Mod that adds more weapons.

[ruby gale]

Hopefully there's some weapon mods for console soon, the current weapons are fine but it never hurts to have more

[tired ruin]

Sameee I’m on console too we need more modsssss

[ruby gale]

It did just release so it'll probably be a bit, but it should be better then starfields modding, they really dropped the ball there

[stark crescent]

i want to fight alduin in the zone

[tired ruin]

Yeah I heard about that is it bad?

[stark crescent]

i want to have an anime maid with tig bitties accompany me through the zone!

the possibilities of mods is endless!

[ruby gale]

Apparently Bethesda just wasn't working with modders and neglected giving them tools and stuff they needed, it's the reason there's no guns with custom animations

[spice phoenix]

how do i loot mutant bodies

[ruby gale]

Sometimes you can't and othertimes its very picky on where you have to look, ive kicked mutants around on the ground just to get the prompt

[stark crescent]

it are only some mutant bodies that has a part for sale. you just click (use button) on them as usual. check for X's on the compass

[spice phoenix]

ah okay thanks was trying to loot from a pyrogeist

[primal nimbus]

Add like a famas

[ruby gale]

Or the better famas, vhs-2

[spice phoenix]

orr add the steppe eagle from og stalker or the FT 200M

[ruby gale]

Deagle is cool but kinda overused

I want a STI DVC

[spice phoenix]

FN2K is such a cool weapon tho wish it was kept

[ruby gale]

I've always loved using the F2000 in any game that has it, insurgency sandstorm has it and its my favorite besides the WCX

[spice phoenix]

looking at stalker weapons wiki and apparently there was a VSK?

oh nvm its cut weapons

[arctic pollen]

Hello! I'm really enjoying the game, I have a question: is there a more detailed summary of what A-Life actually is? There's lots of conflicting info on steam forums, reddit, etc... It's like everyone says a different answer when discussing what it actually is, so I'm kinda confused. Is there a good credible summary somewhere about it? I checked the FAQ but it's like 2 sentences

[dreamy forge]

Fancy name for AI

[arctic pollen]

So it's not like special or different from any other games? Why is everyone talking about it? Like I'm playing the game, it seems fine, like any other game, yet everywhere in discussions its "omg its broken"

I guess I don't understand why it is considered as some kind of special feature with a special name, when it's just AI, I mean, every game has AI, it's like saying "we have music in our game"

[dreamy forge]

Relic of the past when game developers were still passionate and had fun naming things. Also because earlier games had it and it was advanced compared what others had

[crystal bison]

When can we get Stalker 2 1.5.3?

[dreamy forge]

If you ask really really nicely

[arctic pollen]

ahh okay, I guess people blew it out of proportion, from all the discussions I thought it's some like map wide sandbox simulation lol, SIMS in a wasteland or something

[dreamy forge]

Not really. It was quite borked at launch

[arctic pollen]

that's the norm these days i guess 😄

[dreamy forge]

Pretty much. Making games have become quite the gamble these days

[arctic pollen]

buying too, recommended specs on steam page rarely matter anymore 😦

[dreamy forge]

Either you create unicorn or release horse with stick taped on its forehead or go bust

And in some cases horse is actually donkey with broken legs

[arctic pollen]

i now need a 3k euro PC to play games that look barely better than witcher 3

[dreamy forge]

Welcome to future

[arctic pollen]

where's the time machine aaah

[crystal bison]

We might actually get 1.6 for stalker 2 before anomaly

[dreamy forge]

Now imagine the shitshow if everyone had time machine

Or are you trying to implicate that you are so important that only you would get one? Selfish pleb

[arctic pollen]

I'll go back in time and slap the keyboard off your desk as you type this 👿

[dreamy forge]

I dare you. I double dare you

[arctic pollen]

Called my bluff, damn. You win this time!

[dreamy forge]

House always wins

[primal nimbus]

I won’t mind that

[still current]

It's basically an AI simulation based on two forms. One that is active (online, where it renders within player view), and the other is offline (simulates activity out of the player's view). The system is focused on giving NPCs life of their own which has a good degree of unpredictability. During online and offline, NPCs move on their own and choose to go wherever they like. Spawns do have different types, so the one that often fall under the name alife is the one that doesn't really tie certain generic NPCs to a gulag points (restricted zone within their spawn point.) For example, in the OGs, namely SoC. A portion of NPCs are either lair tied or quest related. Let's perhaps take Wolf as an example. He spawns as a quest NPC the moment the game synchronize for the first time. He then acts as a quest NPC which has no alife simulation, but rather set to stay in his spawn point. The moment you finish everything, he switches to being free and joins the alife system. You can then either track him down or stumble upon him in another level (as he is set to move to a different point in another level, namely, the army warehouse). During that movement, you can not really predict what he does or whether he reaches his destination or not. Sometimes, he simply dies in Cordon fighting other alife entities (stalkers, or mutants within a lair zone), sometimes he reaches other levels and maybe die there, and sometimes he simply gets to his set point, but die due alife activity close to that area (Bandits do spawn close and may end up going agro in offline or online simulation, or dogs which spawns at some point within the camp he stays in. You can then find him thrown in the camp fire by other NPCs later which is also another aspect of alife.)
This brings us to activities related to alife. As I mentioned before, alife consists of giving a certain degree (variable depending on different spawn categories) of freedom and life. We spoke about freedom (roam) earlier, now we can cover

Their life which closely is tied to the freedom they have.

The system gives them basically a wide range of possibilities. For example, an NPC can switch to a better gun he finds on the ground (dropped by an other NPC after dying), he can loot other object found on the ground within his path (eg. Artifacts).

In short, the whole thing is called alife cuz it kinda makes NPCs seem alive to a variable degree. It is almost impossible to have the same non playable entities' experience as each time you play, different outcomes may take place.

Well, I don't usually write walls of texts lmao, but if am to speak in a fully technical way, few would understand it.

Tried to simplify it to the best of my ability

[dreamy forge]

Lies. You would have just said "its AI" if you wanted to simplify it

[still current]

Already said so the name itself is self explanatory which conveys life in the context of game ai

[dreamy forge]

The great wall of text negates that

[fading parcel]

NPCs in 1.5 just pretend a bit they don't know your position whole time then come shoot at you 😂

[dreamy forge]

Thats how it works in every game more or less

[fading parcel]

Didn't noticed that in gamma after 300+ hrs

BUT, it better than before still, bearable

[near sparrow]

gamma lol

🤮

[stone lion]

Hello im new i just bought the game i wanted to ask does somebody know any fix or workaround for flying bodies when you headshot them? I can't even loot them, im asking because on twitch not everyone has this problem ? or i should just wait for 1.6?

[fading parcel]

Will be addresed in 1.5.1 soon, known

[arctic pollen]

thank you!

[fading parcel]

Why?

[near sparrow]

busywork simulator, it's raw

[fading parcel]

Not really. Start is hard, but later within quests and tasks and zone immersion it became great.

[vapid galleon]

[unkempt wyvern]

Hi, can anyone tell what is going since all my shadows in the game are just gone? Game looks silly without them and i have no clue what is. All drivers are updated and i run 4070 ti super so it should ne be an issue.
I am not sure is it some hardware setting or just game related bug

[dry blade]

any location on a unique three line rifle? or is only base gun in the game at the moment?

[heady crag]

has anyone else faced an issue with the new KORA and NIGHT STALKER pistols being invincible when equipped?

[compact oracle]

is there a mod that removes all anomalies from the game?

[lusty lynx]

What would be the point?

[compact oracle]

or at least makes it so that the player can't be affected by anomalies

[outer spade]

The whole point of the game is the anomalies lol

[smoky hawk]

Bait

[acoustic orchid]

Any tips for screen tearing on PC?

[opaque cipher]

I woke up today and i thought

How cool would a stalker x snowrunner game be

[tribal whale]

Guys since the update. I've found a funny clip whenever it uploads to cloud I'll post it here.

[chrome jetty]

I am a bait

[open garnet]

Is there a way to optimize NPC? Something planned? I noticed that my Ryzen 5 5600x and every 6 core CPU for AM4 suffer a lot when there are NPC around. my GPU is RTX 5070 Ti, RAM 32 GB DDR4. The first camp for example running at 45 fps in low

[chrome jetty]

They are planning to launch a big optimization patch

It's in the roadmap

Takes time tho

[open garnet]

🥺 I hope

[sharp gulch]

Do you have a gsync display? Which one do you have ?

[chrome jetty]

Haiiiiiiii Griff

[frigid hill]

babimko has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[open garnet]

got pinged?

[dense crown]

5070ti is being bottlenecked by the 6 core 5600X that’s why you have so low fps. Either get 5700X3D or move to AM5

[open garnet]

I saw benchmark for my gpu with 5700x3d and 5800x3d and seems the same issue dropping FPS in the first camp for the FPS. Also saw benchmarks for AM5 CPU and game seems running better in the same situation but I dont have the money to upgrade my entire system for AM5

[dense crown]

Yeah because the game is in pre-beta state. It’s going to need a “cyberpunk” like return and that’s going to be a while..

[dense crown]

https://youtu.be/e1GWT-6QYrk?si=-aUN5Jz551Ter87f

[river chasm]

I was running a 3700X and I could get the game to run fine except in settlements yeah. Turned out the CPU that was outdated even when I got it years ago was not the most up to the task. Updated to a 7700X and it's smooth sailing now

[viral prism]

Does anyone of you happen to know if there is an extended magazine for the Kora 1911? If so, please send a screenshot of the location. Thanks.

[acoustic orchid]

My bad V-sync was not turned on. Running the game in 4k

[weary hedge]

a bee got me in the fire click figer irl now i can't shoot in Stalker 2 😄

[fierce ingot]

hello

[sweet swan]

does anyone know if LNA mod still works also is there any longer days mods that work i know a few but they havent been updated

[feral gust]

Any tips for reducing stutter? I play on ryzen 5700x3d and rx 6800xt on 1080p, high settings, most of the time i get 110-125fps outisde of bases, around 80ish, in bases, still, fps drop from 120 to 110 or 100 fps for example gives a micro stutter, not sure why, but this patch it is more noticable then before :/

[kindred fable]

Death Stranding is pretty close

[slow crypt]

no more stalker games pls

I just want to enjoy the moder community

[tame gazelle]

the update cycle for stalker 2 will be stuck in a continuous loop of fixing 1500 bugs, but adding 2500 more. trying to complete a 3rd run for the first time but man, theres alot of stuff not working here

[harsh jungle]

my game keeps crashing on startup smh

[tame gazelle]

its fun, but jesus christ how infuriating and annoying it also is at times

[harsh jungle]

a reinstall better fix the issue fr

[tame gazelle]

its the most broken functional piece of media ive ever consumed, and ive played alot of jank

[quaint umbra]

Obviously not enough. While Stalker 2 has a lot of issues, there are worse out there.

[stoic sinew]

Hello!

[tame gazelle]

ofc i played shiot that is more jank, but here its so weird because the highs are so high, but the lows are even lower! it has the best of both worlds, and it can be fixed but there are so many tell tale signs that points towards it always being this way. heres hoping tho

[worn drum]

give rostok back to duty.

[smoky hawk]

wah wah

[dusty isle]

Za Monolit

[unreal basin]

Honestly considering modding my current playthrough instead of finishing it vanilla, yall’s thoughts?

[shell flax]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-star-wars-emperor-palpatine-palpatine-gif-799657800635657398

[unreal basin]

Been thinking about while trying to get a Magic Cube from Ribs in Lesser Zone, any mods for Console yall would recommend?

[smoky hawk]

500 bucks for a pc would be a great mod

[unreal basin]

I can not afford that atm

[shell flax]

Better ballistics if you want to change up the gun fighting

[unreal basin]

I saw that but it’s apparently incompatible with the QoL mod

Getting sick of paying 6k coupons to fix 8% damage

[shell flax]

Ah, if you’re running the QoL, might as well grab the rest of Shay’s stuff that’s available. You on X or S?

[unreal basin]

X, relative got me one last Christmas

[shell flax]

Grab the silver tier of living zone

[unreal basin]

What about Shay’s Npc Interactions?

[still current]

[shell flax]

It’s a good one too

Only issue I’ve run into is mutant part dialogue is muted

[mild salmon]

Doesnt the silver tier mod already come with Shay's Npc Interactions with it?

[shell flax]

Maybe? I just woke up not too long ago so I don’t remember lmao

[unreal basin]

The description for NPC Interactions days it’s included in the Gold tier

[mild salmon]

ahhh

[grizzled karma]

anyone else having problems with the new update?

[chrome gazelle]

how do I get all the other mods to shiw on Xbox

[unreal basin]

What you see is what’s available, GSC has to test all the mods before they can come to xbox

[ruby gale]

They seem to be quick about it at least

[dense crown]

It’s on par with cyberpunk 2077 launch. Identical. Missing content, missing features, Open map empty and shallow asf, AI act like they’ve shit themselves…

[ruby gale]

Yeah but its to be expected, one thing gets fixed and another breaks

[ruby gale]

Hopefully it pulls around like 2077

Because that was the best comeback

[dense crown]

That’s what I am hoping and praying for brother.

[ruby gale]

Recently played it again and its still as fun as I remember, hopefully we get ng+, I dont think console mods are ever coming though

[unreal basin]

Question for those that have used Better Ballistics, it doesn’t make Exos easy to kill does it?

[ruby gale]

It makes them easier but not too easy, like 2-3 high caliber headshots

[unreal basin]

High caliber like the SvD or a 308?

[ruby gale]

Both

[unreal basin]

Or High quality ammo only gets em down in 3 shots?

I’m playing on Veteran and don’t want things to be easy

[ruby gale]

I never really noticed a difference but reg is probably 3 while ap is 1-2

[gusty carbon]

Is it okay enable and disable mods mid save (Xbox)

[ruby gale]

Works fine for me

[slender oar]

is 'in the name of science' bugged again? trying to deliver collars to shcherba and his only dialogue option is the generic one

[ruby gale]

I like challenge too but 5 headshots on 1 exo is excessive

[ruby gale]

I haven't even completed that, only have like 3-4 collars

[unreal basin]

Wait is In name of Science locked by story progression?

[ruby gale]

Maybe, I wouldn't doubt it

[slender oar]

it is but forget which mission

[unreal basin]

Its a post Sircca one then

[slender oar]

i literally have all his collars and hes not taking them 😭

fk this nerd he dont deserve collars

[unreal basin]

Welp back to hunting a Magic Cube at Ribs I go

[ruby gale]

I think i have the cube, id have to check

[unreal basin]

I’m using the quick save method cause I desperately need the 30k coupons from Barkeep

Genuinely curious, but do Anomaly fields in different locations have higher chances of rarer artifacts showing up?

[ruby gale]

I think its purely random, maybe better spawns but I dont think by much, and if I need money I just loot yellow weapons off the ground and check the value

[acoustic orchid]

When do you think we will see the hotfix?

[shrewd kindle]

I’ve noticed the subtitles have stopped working for the chatter by the npcs out in the wild 😦 hope they fix that soon because I prefer playing in Ukrainian VO

[fierce sequoia]

So the last time I played it was 1.2.1. Any MAJOR differences now?

[vapid galleon]

hello Zoners

[unreal basin]

Huh, Living Zone is also causing mutant part dialogue to be mute

[harsh wharf]

Look at the most recent patch notes and see for yourself

[harsh wharf]

This happened to me and I had to restart the game 💔

[unreal basin]

Is anyone else getting muted Mutant parts dialogue when using any mods?

[ruby gale]

As much as id love to use the gorden, its so abysmal, it does nothing in terms of damage given i shot a monolith exo around 80 times between head and body (yes I counted) from 10m and he still wasn't dead

[unreal basin]

Why are all mods on console causing Mutant parts dialogue to be muted?

[ruby gale]

Im happy now, I found my second liquid rock

[ruby gale]

I have no idea what you mean

[unreal basin]

No audio fir mutant parts dialogue with npcs

All of the mods I’ve tried using so far are causing it

[ruby gale]

I just don't really talk with npcs so I dont know

[tired ruin]

I didn’t know yhey were supposed to have noise added to them are you taking about the mutants or js the parts?

[unreal basin]

I mean the NPCs’ voicelines have no audio when talking with them about mutant parts

[uneven barn]

the A-life is working now

[potent yew]

Ok I’m trying to use mod io on ps5 for stalker heart of Chernobyl but when I subscribe to a mod it doesn’t pop up on mods load order how to I install mods?

[rapid topaz]

Do they got there own like thing they do ? Do they like for things ?

[unreal basin]

Its just installed, theres no load irder thing like with Fallout 4

[uneven barn]

what?

basically, it works like soc now

[ruby gale]

When its downloaded it should just have a check mark and in the downloaded tab

[potent yew]

So when I subscribe it’s already in my game?

[unreal basin]

Yep

Guess I’m sticking to vanilla till this audio problem is fixed

[rapid topaz]

Older stalker games ai would like look for things like artifacts

[unreal basin]

Better Ballistics looked interesting as well sadly….

[uneven barn]

yeah, they do now

[rapid topaz]

Does ai actually do anything in the open world besides mindlessly roam around

[uneven barn]

yes, they do now

[rapid topaz]

That’s good

[outer plume]

People

Mods can add new emotes?

[uneven barn]

that's what i mean't when i said that A-life is working now

[ruby gale]

Not that ive really noticed but I dont exactly follow them around, I mainly run into patrol parties though

[rapid topaz]

I’d like to see ai come into safe zones and trade in the game to ?

[unreal basin]

I’m worried that the muted voicelines for NPCs isn’t the only problem some mods are causing now…

[ruby gale]

Its not a surprise, mods can always cause issues and mess with the game, its to be expected

[rapid topaz]

Do u think it would make since to recruit an npc that’s friendly in the wild to come with u while in the open world outside of missions ?

Give them commands or something idk

[ruby gale]

A recruit/companion system would be nice but dont know if it'll happen

[unreal basin]

I was looking forward to using Better Ballistics but thats a no go now

[ruby gale]

Muted dialog wouldn't kill it for me since I just skip most dialog anyway

[rapid topaz]

Be nice to see friendly patrols wonder into camps and trade feel more alive to

[ruby gale]

There is

[unreal basin]

I like hearing the NOCs talk even if I can’t understand any if it

[ruby gale]

Rare but ive seen it

[rapid topaz]

Or camps having patrol of there own and leave the place I haven’t played in awhile

[shrewd kindle]

What’s wrong with better ballistics? Haven’t put any mods on yet but I was going to install it

[uneven barn]

the S2 ballistics are ok

but it goes in a progression way than reallism

[unreal basin]

It and every other mod I’ve used on xbox so far are causing NPCs to have no audio for voicelines about the new mutant parts

[ruby gale]

The better ballistics mod makes weapons act more reasonable and realistic

[rapid topaz]

Hate the durability on guns in the game

[shrewd kindle]

I would just be fine with a better upgrade system to where I can make any weapon viable in prypiat

[ruby gale]

The weapon jamming is definitely excessive and way too frequent

[rapid topaz]

Shoot an AR or something within a full mag it’s already needs repair

[weary hedge]

bro is crazy how AI body fly in the air when you kill them, some of them go up in the sky 😄

[ruby gale]

Idk what mod i installed but weapons last longer and liquid rock increases durability

[rapid topaz]

Shooting gravity bullets

[weary hedge]

bro fly so high even hit a helicopter at one mission

[rapid topaz]

The zones space force

[weary hedge]

they all use springs in the boots now

[unreal basin]

The moment I give up on getting a Magic Cube from Ribs, I find a Hyper Cube at Magnetic Cave…..

[ruby gale]

Having to clear a jam almost every 2 shots at 40% and lower gets old real fast

[rapid topaz]

Have they said anything about adjusting the durability of guns ?

[shrewd kindle]

So besides the new voice lines being muted better ballistics is fine?

[ruby gale]

I dont know but I would imagine its something being considered

[uneven barn]

also, mods disable achievements

[weary hedge]

you find a airtefact who boost your gear and guns durability to maximum

[still current]

Honestly? I find it aesthetic

[rapid topaz]

We have to find the patch in the game

[unreal basin]

That’s all I know, I removed it and Shay’s mods cause I’m worried they might be messing something else up as well

[weary hedge]

is there a "prefered" wikia for stalker 2/stalker in general? I wanna start filling pages for unique and rare items =3=

[shrewd kindle]

Don’t care about achievements so that’s a non issue to me

[unreal basin]

Only achievement I cared for was the one to kill an Exo with the knife

[weary hedge]

But i play with mods now, after finishing the game once, so i use infinity carry and sprint and guns modifications

[rapid topaz]

Is that any random one or is it dedicated to a certain area of the game ?

[ruby gale]

Durability is nice and I enjoy it, but the jamming needs toned down, svd jamming 3 times in 5 shots at 37% is crazy

[weary hedge]

idk how this works yet in the game

i found it random i guess

[unreal basin]

Tourist’s Breakfast and Liquid Rock can increase durability

[ruby gale]

Oh I got that, I liked the 5 headshots in 10 seconds I think it was because I used the kona

[rapid topaz]

I think difficulty should affect durability of guns On normal it’s a bit excessive

[shrewd kindle]

It does, veteran makes it even less durable

[still current]

Idk man, you sound unlucky . I personally love to get my gun jammed so I can replay jam animation and see it all the time (I love how it gets me freaked out During a fight too.), but apparently, I barely get it lmao

It's far from frequent to me lmao

[shrewd kindle]

I can’t remember the last time I had a gun jam on me in the game lmao

[still current]

Idk if that's being lucky or the opposite

[ruby gale]

I get screwed over then, but thats what a second weapon is for

[still current]

Considering the context

[faint canopy]

Hello. Is it possible to test mods on xbox before official approval. Or make them private . Trying to learn sdk

[still current]

I intentionally miss repairs to be forced into using other guns if I'm to get in a tight spot. However, I rarely do xD

[ruby gale]

I can't, i just have to fix it every time I walk through a settlement

I normally swap loadout anyway too

[shrewd kindle]

Only guns I’ve had durability issues with have been the snipers besides the vintar, feels like they’re made out of paper

[still current]

I went through sircaa with minimum gear and shit guns condition for the fun of it

[solar cobalt]

I used the "fandom" wiki a lot for the older stalker games. That has a Stalker 2 section on it now but at a glance saw some things that could use correcting in it. Hope that helps :)

[ruby gale]

Use regular or high quality?

[still current]

Funnily enough, I found plenty of resources to pull it off easy

[shrewd kindle]

Regular ammo with the clusterfuck, AP when I get the whip

[ruby gale]

Sircaa does drop a lot of loot

I had to hobble my way out with a Hercules

[weary hedge]

I can probably go around and correct some of the gameplay stuff at least

[shrewd kindle]

Vintars a tank though, durability on that thing is great

[ruby gale]

Only thing ive had durability issues on is the gambit pistol

I look away for one second and it drops to 49%

[shrewd kindle]

The whip is a great gun, 3 chest shots or 1 head and an exo goes down, expensive to maintain though

Oooh I hope they add a pda radio mod, the in game radio is awesome so I’d like to listen to it while I’m wandering

[unreal basin]

Ok, apparently shock poltergeists spawn an electro anomaly where your standing after you kill them now

[ruby gale]

I just turn spotify on in the background

[shrewd kindle]

I do that but the mixing is all wrong no matter how I adjust it, makes the game way too quiet

[ruby gale]

I just set Spotify at 30% music and it blends perfectly into the background

[hot basin]

Is there any updated weapon stats list?

[shrewd kindle]

Might just be my headphones

[echo gust]

wait, the SDK does not have audio in it? Like the voices?

[ruby gale]

I use razer barracudas with dobly atmos and a custom eq

[unreal basin]

Any of yall know where I can find a poltergeist? Doing a job for the eggheads at Malachite and only 2 of the geists at the Brain scorcher dropped parts

[shrewd kindle]

Guaranteed one in wild territory right next to Rostok, it’s in the gate that separates the two areas

[ruby gale]

Pripyat shopping mall has a few for me every time

[unreal basin]

I cant go there….

[unreal basin]

The one with a freedom suit on the top of one of the pipe sections? Already killed that one

[shrewd kindle]

Nah that’s another one, but you probably already killed the one by the gate if you got that one

[ruby gale]

I dont find many poltergeists outside pripyat

[unreal basin]

Found a Vintar in decent condition, and I got over 300 rounds of ammo for it, should I fix it up?

[shrewd kindle]

Vintar by beloved ❤️

It’s not as good as it was in the og trilogy but it’s still pretty good up until the endgame

[unreal basin]

Huh, Poltergeist in the rigged warehouse at Brain scorcher respawned

[sterile idol]

so are they releasing mods for consoles in batches? if so whats the time between releases like?

[ruby gale]

They have to test them before releasing to console so its kinda just whenever and however many

[sterile idol]

yea i knew they have to test them first i just didnt know if they had a set time for when they add the ones thats already been tested or something like that

[ruby gale]

Its kinda just whenever like Bethesda games

[unreal basin]

Man, 6 horn heads for 100k+ coupons….

[dreamy dagger]

2 days till Q3 kicks in, will we get Q3 roadmap on day 1 of Q3?

[unreal basin]

Where do Hornheads even spawn?

Besides the scripted one for that one mission

[split tusk]

I have discovered a hack for round 2 in the arena... just drop a bunch of grenades into that room from the door and grab the shotgun then grab the nades

[ruby gale]

Oh god ive only ever seen one

[unreal basin]

Question anyone here know if the no voiceline audio for mutant parts dialogue is the only problem mods on console are all causing?

[sterile idol]

try the red forest ive run into one there before

[unreal basin]

All I know is I’m keeping any Horn heads parts I get now

[ruby gale]

I wouldn't be surprised if its just a problem in general

[unreal basin]

I’m worried about using mods

Want to use Better Ballistics

[ruby gale]

I've seen more chimeras than hornheads

[unreal basin]

Huh

[ruby gale]

Well its a trade off so up to you

[violet pumice]

Somebody from here play the forest?

I need some help to find katana and map

[unreal basin]

I forgot, how do you get the other traders and the guide at Rostok to green? Only got Barkerp there so far

[ruby gale]

Im not sure, either story related or arena

[weary hedge]

Steam sales are on (i already got some games i probably not touch very soon) 😄

[ruby gale]

I've bought enough games, 118 downloaded and more uninstalled

[weary hedge]

I have lots of games i did not play from last year summer sales 😄

But you never know what game you want to play one day, one year

[shrewd kindle]

I got them to green by helping freedom out whenever they get attacked in the wilds

[ruby gale]

Oh yeah freedom, i love the freedom guys, duty too

[sterile idol]

ive been using it and its actually pretty good if you can deal with dying quicker

[still current]

Hopefully within the first Q3 month anything between 1 to end is welcome in my opinion

[unreal basin]

My problem is that all mods on xbox are causing some voicelines to not have audio

[sterile idol]

i havent noticed any missing voice lines, you play with the english Voiceover?

[unreal basin]

No

[unreal basin]

It seems to mostly be voicelines related to mutant parts dialogue stuff

[sterile idol]

yea i havent noticed them at all yet but word i didnt know that

[unreal basin]

I’m just worried the voicelines aren’t the only thing the mods are causing to not work right on console

[acoustic orchid]

My money is on the second week in July

[raven elbow]

Hi, dunno if there’s a “bug report” section on the server, but i found “anomaly” SEVA-I casts shadow that belongs to SSP-100

Well apparently there’s a Reddit post that’s 2 months old about this issue. Yeah there’s definitely a room for improvement in QA lol.

[thick bramble]

should i start a new save with 1.5? i think i was on 1.2 or something last i was playing, prob best for script integrity reasons right? that and seeing new stuff in the world

[shrewd kindle]

I’m restarting my ward playthrough, wasn’t that far along though, had just gotten to the island

It’s been a bit and I wanna use the mosin without having to downgrade my gear

[thick bramble]

yeah im pre swamps iirc

i had a completed playthrough where i did ward and spark, started this one because i felt like i made a lot of bad choices in quests and whatnot. mostly quit because the bug that prevented you from skipping cutscenes was still around

[shrewd kindle]

I’ve done strelok and the docs ending, haven’t done spark or wards yet

[thick bramble]

well, I guess I'll join you in restarting. i think i've basically got the beginning of the game down to autopilot at this point anyway

[sterile idol]

thats a bug? i thought they just removed the option for some reason

[thick bramble]

wait are you telling me its still around?

[sterile idol]

yes it is

ive started multiple different playthroughs throughout the updates and havent been able to skip a cutscene a single time except for when the game released😂

[thick bramble]

damn... that's terrible news. i mean it wasn't really a true skip in the first place, more a fast forward. wonder if it was causing stability issues with everything being in engine... is there a mod to bring it back?

well, i'm still going to restart anyway. i'll just have to multitask a little in the early game

[sterile idol]

im on console so mods are still limited right now so no but idk about pc

[unreal basin]

I’m still annoyed guns used by Burers ignore armor completely

So Burers are impossible to fight with Better Ballistic installed

Cause all of there guns one tap now regardless of where they hit

[sterile idol]

its tough but i was able to take down 2 at the same time after like 20 deaths

[unreal basin]

Yeah I’m not using this mod if all Burer encounters are gonna be like this

[raven elbow]

Is 7,62x39 removed from the game? Patchnote says so, but i keep finding it

[unreal basin]

If a PM can f’ing one tap me if I’m wearing decent armor if it shoots me in the foot I’m not using that mod

Cause so far getting grazed by a Burers Toz one taps as well

[thick bramble]

huh? why would it be removed, what does the machine gun use now then

[ruby gale]

I think better ballistics is scaled off normal difficulty

[unreal basin]

Same as the Svd I’m guessing since its unique had a ton of that next to it when I found it in my current playthrough

[thick bramble]

oh i see the notes now, somehow i missed this before

[unreal basin]

Nexus description said it was scaled on the vanilla difficulties

[gusty carbon]

Sameproblem, using better ballistic mod,
without mod - everything ok

[unreal basin]

Yep

[ruby gale]

Dont know, normally difficulty it feels fine, nothing one taps

[unreal basin]

I got one tap from a graze from a Burers Toz’s pelket

[ruby gale]

Hard to believe veteran ramps it up that hard

[unreal basin]

Have you fought a Burer yet with it installed?

Cause their guns completely ignore armor as far as I’m aware

[ruby gale]

Only the normal ones, none with floating guns

[unreal basin]

I’m removing the mod if this is only happening cause I’m playing on veteran

[ruby gale]

They try taking mine but I always grab it instantly, even lower difficulty burer guns are a pain

[unreal basin]

I’ve been onetaped by one of them with a shotgun while wearing a exo on Stalker difficulty before at medium range so

[ruby gale]

Weird

[unreal basin]

I don’t think the mod author considered Burers when balancing the mod

[ruby gale]

Well i think the point was to make them realistic and can't do anything about the burers being jank

[unreal basin]

Does the death counter keep deaths from deleted saves?

Cause I’m deleting any saves I made while Better Ballistics was installed

[ruby gale]

Probably does, haven't payed attention

[unreal basin]

That annoys me

I know for a fact that I could survive a graze from a Toz while wearing aWolfhound suit with Better Ballistics installed

But a Burer’s one tapping regardless of armor annoys me

[ruby gale]

Idk, all I know is im not experiencing any problems

[thick bramble]

ah shader compilation, how I didn't miss you... I might have been a little too optimistic when raising settings this time, thought performance would be a tiny bit better lol.

[unreal basin]

Git grazed by a bandit with a toz early after installing the mod, and it didn’t one tap

I’m just annoyed I’ve wasted an hour now

[ruby gale]

Well then its the burers, nothing we can do about it, unless someone patches it

[unreal basin]

I doubt they will

If GSC hasn’t patched their guns ignoring armor, the mod getting the damage patched really wont matter

[ruby gale]

Idk, im probably gonna hop to a different game for a bit, maybe warframe or cyberpunk

[unreal basin]

Good luck and have fun with that

[ruby gale]

Said probably, just sit here and drink for a moment

[thick bramble]

I could have sworn they lowered the scanner weight in an earlier patch... maybe its just the one you carry later on?

[unreal basin]

Well at least I can use the QOL mod now

[ruby gale]

QOL is perfect

The 50%?

[unreal basin]

Only version on console atm

[ruby gale]

It makes earning money and carrying stuff way easier (can't type)

[unreal basin]

I’m pretty sure half my inventory’s used green bar atm is probably ammo weight

[austere pagoda]

[unreal basin]

Hello

[ruby gale]

Yeah its like 20-30lbs just for a decent setup to explore for me

[unreal basin]

Any idea why mods on console are causing mutant part dialogue voicelines to have no audio?

[ruby gale]

50% drops it under 20lbs

[austere pagoda]

ive sent a 75% too for xbox and as for no audio drifty, is that with any mod or my qol mod?

[unreal basin]

All mods I’ve used so far have been having the audio thing happen

[austere pagoda]

and you dont have it on vanilla?

[unreal basin]

Audios fine in vanilla

[ruby gale]

Mutant parts in vanilla is still fairly new so maybe mods are conflicting with it somehow

Just not sure how is the problem if its all mods, the cj and Shrek i could understand but not the others

[unreal basin]

All of Shay’s mods I’ve used have it happen

[sharp gulch]

what dialogue vocie lines?

[ruby gale]

Ig id have to talk to an npc about mutant parts to see myself

One sec

[unreal basin]

Any that involve asking NPCs about the new mutant parts

[sharp gulch]

which mods are you following?

could be a mod modifing NPCs

[unreal basin]

Better Ballistics also causes it

[gusty carbon]

me too
BB
Living zone

but for me, everything is ok with Living Zone
but BB seems to causes this

[unreal basin]

I’ve had just Living Zone and it happening still

[serene barn]

has anyone used the PKP yet this update?

[ruby gale]

Idk if its muting it so much as not letting the conversation happen (if that makes sense) unless you skip the lines of dialog because it still loads subtitles without progressing them

Normally at least

[cloud carbon]

Just reinstalled and I'm hyped
Mawds
But when did the update drop?

[ruby gale]

Few days ago as far as I remember

[cloud carbon]

Can't wait for moar mods

[hot basin]

I thought I was the only one

[ruby gale]

The audio thing really doesn't bother me since I just explore instead of taking missions but thats just me

[austere pagoda]

yeah chat i got no iea what causse is i dont mess with audio and neiter does kazz with bb ii think :/

[unreal basin]

I want to use Better Ballistics but Burers with guns are almost impossible to kill with it installed

Especially if they have access to more than one

[unreal basin]

Question, console wise, if I install BB after QOL dies its changes take priority or does QOL’s since I installed it before it?

[austere pagoda]

jlll forward this to kazz

[unreal basin]

Burer’s essentially one tapping regardless of where your hit

Got one tapped by a pellet from Toz that grazed me

Playing on Veteran as well

[charred nova]

https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/65c25d820483234984d9a275/0fceaf4b-596c-4bdd-a7f5-fcff5adc0e83/HAT+ICON+OPTIMIZED.gif?content-type=image%2Fgif

[unreal basin]

Random

[tacit jay]

after 1.5 you can keep all the guns from the tutorial portion, even the m416

[charred nova]

You were putting that chat to sleep I had to intervene

[austere pagoda]

no idea actually all still unchqrted waters

[unreal basin]

Eh not really , tried keeping the ak this playthrough and it despawned

Hmm, seems QOL ammo weight change is taking priority

[tacit jay]

I was able to keep both and sell both to hamster. Though when I redid it, I didn't grab the AK, just ran past it.

[ruby gale]

Most things seem to have weight halved but some things dont, mainly armor doesn't halve its weight ive noticed

[unreal basin]

Huh

Thoughts on keeping the Decider rifle?

[thick bramble]

first guy i kill in my new playthrough ragdolls into the sky. no mods installed. yes, this is a stalker game all right haha

[unreal basin]

Oh joy, stuck in a bunker with 2 heavily armed Burers during a Blowout

[hardy totem]

Try diplomacy

[ruby gale]

I like the ragdolls, adds character

[ruby gale]

I just use lullaby, haven't got the decider yet since I haven't focus on cement area yet

[unreal basin]

Lullaby?

[ruby gale]

Its a special fora

[unreal basin]

Oh

Decider is a special Fora rifle as well

[hardy totem]

Yeah there's 2

[ruby gale]

Know what I just thought of that im sure everyone else has? I want a weapon inspect

Like inspecting an artifact

[golden haven]

yeah that sounds like a bethesda thing

[oak junco]

bethesda doesnt do weapon inspections lol thats anomaly/gamma youtuber thumbnail click slop

[charred nova]

I need an option to swing my gun like a melee weapon

[thick bramble]

its v by default on pc, dunno about console

[worn drum]

i haven't had the chance to check so i just wanted to ask. rostoks hunting shack is open after 1.5?

[ruby gale]

Think he meant like a baseball bat

[bright linden]

Hey guys in the stalker 2 intro area
Is there still a way to keep the weapons you get so you can get them afterwards ? Or did they patch that out ?

[shell flax]

Stuff em in a chest and you’ll keep em

[ruby gale]

Idk if the safe method still works

Some people are saying they despawn

[golden haven]

don't you get your stuff back by doing a quest in stalker 2 after the intro?

[thick bramble]

i tried the safe method, only kept the 74u. my recollection is that it used to care about condition, so you could deliberately damage them below 90% or something like that and they wouldnt despawn

[ruby gale]

Idk, when I played on launch I just lost everything from the intro because I had no idea and moved on

But that does sound about right

[nocturne robin]

ever since the 1.5 update my friend cannot get past the shader compilation for the game. we have tried almost everything, updated bios, drivers, cleared chaches, uninstalled and reinstalled, verified integrity of game files, removed overclock on his cpu, etc. nothing seems to work. he has by many metrics a better PC than I do, so its not that he cant run it. he never had any issues before 1.5, and he even played the night before 1.5 dropped. does anyone have any insight into how this can be fixed?

[ruby gale]

You could put that in the advice channel and see if someone can help or create a ticket otherwise I have no idea

[nocturne robin]

is that the seeking advice channel?

[thick bramble]

you removed any mods right?

[nocturne robin]

he has never played the game with any mods installed

[thick bramble]

well i got nothing then

[bright linden]

Damn where on the map is the intro area i already placed the third scanner 💀😭 ima see if my guns are still in that safe

[ruby gale]

#❔┃seeking-for-advice good luck, hopefully someone can help

[ruby gale]

Its been way too long, try to look for a video or image that shows it

[bright linden]

IT STILL WORKS I GOT MY AK AND M4 IN THERE LETS GOOO

[ruby gale]

Weapons staying in a container is extremely helpful when you're overloaded but dont want to lose loot

[normal sail]

I hope in the future the entirety of Pripiat Underpass becomes accessible

[ruby gale]

Dlc maybe, who knows

[serene barn]

hmm, i remember the game taking the AK-74 and the AR416 even if they were stashed in the prologue

[ruby gale]

Durability or luck based

[pliant crane]

Are spoilers fine here? Asking for general guidance

[hardy totem]

Yes

[oak junco]

yeah you're in spoiler area

[pliant crane]

Sweet, so I'm doing the in the shadows of icarus thing, but I actually can't after fighting off the ambus, the doors are locked

[charred nova]

Icarus no way like from deus ex

[hardy totem]

Guns of icarus mentioned?: o

[ruby gale]

Gonna be honest, didnt really bother with anything at icarus, they all dead anyway now

[stray needle]

AI is broken again? waited an emission in Cement Factory and half of the base is dead, even one inside the bar

[pliant crane]

Yee aware, something something all get zombified because of monolith but would still like to complete the task

[ruby gale]

That room with the stash?

[ebon blade]

The Cement Factory has always been that way.
I like to be there for an Emission for the free loot.

[pliant crane]

No, not really, you smuggle the commanders weapon case to the bandits beneath icarus

[ruby gale]

I didnt even know there was an underside to icarus

[pliant crane]

It's where you destroy the PSI emitter beneat icarus, the bandits are right next to it

This damn thing

https://youtu.be/Y7hA7FBAPwI

[ruby gale]

Gonna be honest its been awhile and my memory is not good

[plain fiber]

Isn't there an APBS upgrade USB somewhere on the roof of one of the Malachite buildings or am I misremembering?

[ruby gale]

Now i remember, I did do that i think

[pliant crane]

Aight, something different from that video I found is that there is a warden facing the wall in that room for some reason

[ruby gale]

He's in timeout

[ruby gale]

In the building I think, individual adjustment bp i think

[pliant crane]

:D:D

[plain fiber]

Can't remember if I got it already or not, I'll have to look it up.

[ruby gale]

Its only a movement while aiming boost so nothing too crazy

[pliant crane]

Ait it apparently fixed itself when I went through the dome down there, no locked doors anymore (And no wardens in timeout)

[ruby gale]

Game works in mysterious ways

[pliant crane]

Just another anomaly

[ruby gale]

God thats still so cheesy

[golden haven]

you preformed full blown maintenance on the computer, now it's time to re-install windows 11 from a bootable USB

[pliant crane]

Just wait 30 minutes for the shader stuff or skip it

[nocturne robin]

we've since determined its most likely a hardware issue as a result of it being a 13th gen intel cpu. He tried launching another UE5 game, Oblivion Remastered, and had the same issue. Unreal Engine shader compilation basically is too intense for that line of CPUs because they were shipped with a manufacturing error. Its curious that the issue only occurred after trying to launch with 1.5 patch, but its very possible that the new compilation changes made were the trigger for a vulnerability that was already present within the hardware. Very unfortunate.

[nocturne robin]

crashes game and/or entire system regardless of shader skip

[ruby gale]

Yeah that'd do it, UE5 games are really intensive

[nocturne robin]

its not even that, he ran the game with like

twice the performance i get, just fine before 1.5

he has a 4080 too

its basically just intel being subpar nowadays

ryzen ftw

[primal nimbus]

How do I trigger Shadow of Icarus quest?

[pliant crane]

I forgor, just do shit at Icarus ":D"

[primal nimbus]

Well, I’m barred from Icarus soooooooo

[ruby gale]

Look for blue !

Oh, well that changes things

[pliant crane]

Damn, how

You got the pass?

[primal nimbus]

I didn’t show the Mono pda to Dad.

(Joking about Colonel.)

I saw the blue quest in Icarus. Yet I can’t enter or I be in for a FUN time.

[ruby gale]

I just took the gun then told him to get bent after

[primal nimbus]

Oh…. Yeah its kinda too late now

I’ll do that on my next play through. Completed the game twice and now working on Skif’s ending.

[ruby gale]

I just dont vibe with the ward

[primal nimbus]

Neither me with Spark.

I shoot Ward on sight for Duty.

[shrewd kindle]

I like Korshunov but pretty much everyone else in the ward sucks

I dont like anyone in spark either tbh

[golden haven]

skip shader compilation for stalker 2, there's a mod on nexus that does that, i can't verify that it works, good luck

[primal nimbus]

I wish Spark can appear out and about not when plot demands so I can fight them.

[shrewd kindle]

They pop up around malachite if you wanna shoot them

[serene barn]

there's a Doctor in Ward that's a nice enough guy, worried about their people going nutty and tries to have some of their men sent out of the zone, but that just doesn't play out that way.

[nocturne robin]

it wouldnt solve the problem

1.5 literally allows you to skip already

[unreal basin]

Ok, so why are there 30 bandits with automatics at Intercom Tower….

[golden haven]

neat

[ruby gale]

Because surprise birthday party

[foggy slate]

i have the same thing

[ruby gale]

People can't even put their pda down these days

[ebon blade]

He's holding that special PDA-Detector combo.

[ruby gale]

Maybe that'll help me finally get weird water

[tired ruin]

I got weird water immediately you js have to know where to look and when

[ruby gale]

I tried for 2 hours on 5 different days, im over it at this point, plus mods well help with increasing carry weight now so weird water isn't that important

[tired ruin]

True that!

[ruby gale]

The QOL mod from shaytech makes the game so much easier

[unreal basin]

Welp I’m done with Cement Factory, time to try to get a Magic Cube from Ribs again

[ruby gale]

In terms of exploration and money at least

I just want that duty exo thinking of cement factory

[unreal basin]

I’m probably gonna end up selling it whenever I find it in my current playthrough

[ruby gale]

Magic cube just gives strong physical protection so will helpful its nothing crazy

[unreal basin]

I ain’t keeping the cube, its for Barkeep

[serene barn]

definitely have to remember to B line for the Weird Water on my next playthrough.

[ruby gale]

What loadout should I run with the shturm exo?

[river chasm]

uhh whatever you want really by the time you are late into the game you can do whatever you want without issues really

[ruby gale]

Im asking for the hell of it, im bored and want a suggestion

[river chasm]

m701 super and the texan

[ruby gale]

Mmmmm m701 with underbarrel shotgun

[unreal basin]

Considering using a EBR this playthrough since I’m going all in on the Wolfhound being my exploration suit

[ruby gale]

Should get zalyssias barkeeps gun "Partner"

Gambit or deadeye?

[unreal basin]

Cube has been acquired

[wide veldt]

Someone is putting out usefull mods for xbox slowly yessssssss

[rough island]

Idk if there apart of the discord but whoever made the better ballistic mod it's amazing feels like I'm actually firing my firearm the mosin nagant 762x54r actually feels chunky like it's supposed to I realize it's not a big caliber but out of a rifle like that it packs a punch so if you're floating around in this discord channel mod maker it's beautiful and works great

[wide veldt]

762x54r is a huge caliber wdym

[fierce nexus]

Same bro, same

[rough island]

Yes and no it's on the smaller end of the high powered rifle calibers

[primal nimbus]

Thank you. I’ll hang out more around there.

[ebon blade]

Why do you want to shoot them?

[wide veldt]

need like a vault mod for xbox so u can go to a room and it has everything u need

Even though i have most of what i need already

[primal nimbus]

Rubbed me off wrong and Scar isn’t helping. Won’t fight Star though. He’s chill.

[unreal basin]

Is Trophy worth using for 9x39 weapon or should I just grab a regular Vintar or Lavina?

[ebon blade]

Did they say something or do something to make you angry?

[nocturne robin]

HE DID WHAT?

[wide veldt]

Is it safe to use mods are they going to corrupt my save?

[rough island]

I'm using the quality of life mods and they've all worked perfectly fine no bugs no nothing it's working fine for me on Xbox can't say about anywhere else though

[fierce nexus]

There's only like 9 mods rn

But hey, one of them turns controllers into shrek

[primal nimbus]

Brother in the Wish Granter, have you seen what happens if you keep being in line with them?

[unreal basin]

I’m considering swapping to the Corundum suit once it’s accessible in my playthrough

[wide veldt]

Yeah mods were just released on xbox its going to take abit

[fierce nexus]

Yee

Nothing major at the moment, will probably be a few months before the good stuff rolls in

[shrewd kindle]

I got bad vibes with them from the start, really dislike the fact that if you side with them during sircca skif starts acting like he’s buying into that crap, like no dude I just thought turning the wish granter back on was a terrible idea I’m not joining the zone Mormons

[unreal basin]

I forgot what dies a Compass artifact do in 2?

[wide veldt]

Qol mod and ballistics seems good though

[primal nimbus]

Yeah. That’s exactly why I sided with them, back in Chernobyl Black Mesa.. Do NOT turn on the Wish Granter.

[fierce nexus]

Haven't looked at it yet

I saw they made a mod to replace the knife with a crowbar

[shrewd kindle]

Ballistics mod is fun, got one shotted by the first bandit I saw lmao

[wide veldt]

It affects npcs too?

[ruby gale]

Trophy is good for the sight but burns its mag fast

[ebon blade]

Currently in my game, Strider wanted me to go get the Azimuth Key Access at some Ward base.
However instead of doing that, I went to go exploring in areas I have never been before.
I am currently at STC Malachite, doing side-missions for the Trader and Medic.
I'm having a chill time with all the Spark and I.P.S.F. soldiers there.
However, I know later, game-wise, that will change and so
that is the reason I wanted to come here early.

[shrewd kindle]

Yes the guns do more damage both ways as far as I can tell, I’m getting shredded

[primal nimbus]

Honestly wish we can vibe at Malachite especially after the plot fighting there.

[shrewd kindle]

But I’m also shredding

[ruby gale]

Because they are, weapons deal solid damage and exploration/earning money is easier

[shrewd kindle]

So it’s great

Someone told me the QOL and ballistics mod are incompatible so I haven’t used the qol mod yet

[ebon blade]

I guess you need to go there before the game forces you into some conflict.

[wide veldt]

We just need a koupons mod

[primal nimbus]

Yeah. I have to grab a skipjack for Needle. (Day #6 of still looking for it. Kept getting ciliate.)

[wide veldt]

Koupons mod and vault room for items would be great

[ruby gale]

I just want a straight cheat room mod

[unreal basin]

So how durable are ya with a Exo suit with BB installed?

[ruby gale]

Fairly resilient

[wide veldt]

Anywhere we can request a mod for the game?

[ebon blade]

I've learned the hard way not to take side-missions.
for artifacts that I do not have on me. Not being
able to do them prevents getting other jobs.

[shrewd kindle]

Yeah those artifact gigs are a trap lol

[primal nimbus]

I know. I’m currently have basically have +100k coipond waiting for me after these 3 arty gigs.

[ruby gale]

I dont think so unless you see a modder appear here but id be careful about that

[unreal basin]

They pay well though, got two lead lined containers for my Wolfhound now

[wide veldt]

Yeah i had people try to scam me in the starfeild discord

I had to learn how to build my own fighter jet

[primal nimbus]

I have to grab a skipjack, a strange cube, and a 3rd arty I forgot

[ruby gale]

Well modders here are colored with a role but I was talking about bothering them

[shrewd kindle]

Getting the broken gun buyer in rostok to green status and selling all the crap to him was my biggest money maker by far

[wide veldt]

Oh

[unreal basin]

Whats a Skipjack artifact do?

[primal nimbus]

When I need money, I just visit the IPSF checkpoints.

[primal nimbus]

I forgot

[wide veldt]

How do u properly get ahold of them then?

[ruby gale]

And starfield modding kinda blows given Bethesda didnt really help modders

[shrewd kindle]

Hope they fix the subtitles in the hotfix, I like to know what the random goons are shouting when I play in Ukrainian

[ruby gale]

No idea, i image a mod chat/suggestions might be made at some point but idk

[fierce nexus]

Believe there already is

[ruby gale]

And Bethesda didnt have any custom animation support, for starfield

[fierce nexus]

Ah yes

https://discord.com/channels/504587323577729024/1387353128268988519

[fierce nexus]

There you go

[ruby gale]

Huh, I didnt have it in the side bar

Weird

[wide veldt]

Wanna see the fighter jet though?

Its small and pretty cool

[ruby gale]

I didnt really find shipbuilding that fun

[ebon blade]

I'm currently wearing the SSP-100I Survey, that has 3 protected artie containers and good anomaly protection.

[wide veldt]

Its annoying for sure but mods make it better

[ruby gale]

I used the owl mod to build part of mine

[wide veldt]

I sent my jet in en offtop if u wanna see its simple if u wanna steal it

[ebon blade]

Yes, please go to off-topic if you want to discuss other games.

[wide veldt]

I hope someone adds a anti air craft gun to this game as a mod (small double handheld 20mm cannon)

Thatd be funny

[ruby gale]

Or the punt gun

[open garnet]

with the zone kit will I be able to touch engine?

like to add something like HLOD and Occlusion Culling

I want to touch NPC

[unreal basin]

Ok thats f’ing bs, some loners who did absolutely nothing just stole all the stuff the Mercs I just finished killing had

[teal shadow]

cope

[nimble monolith]

Kill the loners and take all the loot for yourself

[unreal basin]

The mercs didn’t even attack them at all, they’re just chilling

[ebon blade]

All the Mercs in my game have been hostile.

[unreal basin]

I meant there not attacking the loners…

[ebon blade]

But they are still hostile to you?

[unreal basin]

Yes

They instantly agro as soon as I leave the building I’m in

[ebon blade]

I've had Mercs enter Rostok (Freedom base) and attack me while Freedom did nothing except a lockdown of their buildings.

[wide veldt]

Kill all witness to the murder and ull be fine

[unreal basin]

Is it possible to get on that tower without a ladder at Army Warehouse that a merc spawns in? I want his guns ammo

Nvm theres no ladder to its second level

I still think its stupid that hallucination enemies guns can hurt you

[ebon blade]

Most NPCs have very little loot ammo on them, despite their ability to use a lot themselves.

[unreal basin]

Bit late

[rough island]

I just found another bug I think unless I'm wrong but I'm using the Shell anomaly and it gives me like endurance but when I Sprint my stamina only goes down two bars and I have infinite Sprint is this a bug

[ebon blade]

What is your overall weight with your current load-out?

[rough island]

Meaning as much as I can carry or what my weight is at at this moment

[steady solar]

Has anyone used Maklane's nexus mods with the 1.5 update?

[ebon blade]

Your loadout is the current weight you go into the Zone with, excluding any loot you just find.

[rough island]

80

[ruby gale]

Think he means what you normally have, like my 30 out of 137

[ebon blade]

That's really high. Can you take a screenshot of your load-out?

[rough island]

I'm on Xbox so it'll take me a second to get it to you but I'm working on it

[fading bramble]

Is there a mosin with only iron sights, no PU or red dot

[ruby gale]

Not that im aware of

[fading bramble]

Unfortunate

[ebon blade]

I've heard that only the action of adding the red dot, removes the scope.
I could be wrong as I have yet to find one of these. I'm at STC Malachite.

I'm not seeing how a fully upgraded Kora is all that great.

[ruby gale]

I prefer it out of all other handguns, fast, accurate, and deals solid damage

[rough island]

@ebon blade had to dm it to u my phone is being weird

[fierce nexus]

I prefer the UDP

But I haven't used the Kora yet, although I did grab one

[ruby gale]

If i use the udp its the deadeye

[fierce nexus]

I use a basic one with a silencer and extended mag

[ruby gale]

I like the unsilenced sound of the udp

[fierce nexus]

Yeah, its punchy

I also use a saiga with an extended mag

As well as "Special"

(Unique AK)

[ruby gale]

Dont know if ive seen that one

[fickle hill]

Oh the AK74U

[fierce nexus]

Yeah with the wire stock

Or folding stock

[fickle hill]

Yeah I got that one

[fierce nexus]

It's got a different wood color

I've got the taped double mag on it

[fickle hill]

And a suppressor

[fierce nexus]

Mine isn't, but the barrel has a compensator

[ruby gale]

I like the spitfire

[fierce nexus]

I grabbed that, but I just threw it in my stash

[fickle hill]

Gotta collect them all

[fierce nexus]

Yeah lol

I collect all the uniques

[ruby gale]

Yeah thats where its been sitting for a minute, been using the three line a bit, insanely accurate

[fierce nexus]

Haven't used the three line yet, although I grabbed one from the detention center

[fickle hill]

Yeah it's funny that the only way to get the decider is to murder the owner of the quest owner

[fierce nexus]

Hmm...... i don't know if I killed that guy, but I did keep that gun

[ruby gale]

I've been meaning to do that, in cement rn

[fierce nexus]

Dude was an asshole

[fickle hill]

[fierce nexus]

And I don't normally kill people if I have another option

[fickle hill]

Well it does say in tutorial you can murder people if they don't notice you to tell the tale

[ruby gale]

Killing and looting is a dream

[wide veldt]

So what is the mod makers role name

[ebon blade]

Your loadout in that screenshot is 48.2 kg
80 kg is your maximum carrying capacity.
You are carrying way too many bandages
and medkits. You've got a nice collection
of mutant parts. Most I've ever seen.

[wide veldt]

Theres alot to scroll through here

[fickle hill]

MY EYES

[fierce nexus]

Troo

[ruby gale]

That organization is chaotic yet contained

[fierce nexus]

I'm carrying like, 1/3 of that lmao

Simply because I travel light lol

[rough island]

@ebon blade well I am using a shell anomaly my stamina past to bars doesn't daplete and I have infinite Sprint I don't know if it's a bug or not

[rough island]

That's ADHD for you

[ruby gale]

I have adhd, and that still unsettled me

[fierce nexus]

I wear the tourist suit and the sphere M20 helmet

[rough island]

Yeah I'm kind of a loot hoarder

[fierce nexus]

Also I dislike that you can't loot every mutant just some

[ebon blade]

This is my current loadout.

[ruby gale]

I mean, at least drop stuff off in the container, it'll still be there

[fickle hill]

Y'all wear suits? I just jump the wall to prypiat to grab that diamond exo right off the rip hearing the exo noises if fun during story

[fierce nexus]

[rough island]

I can't do that for some reason my willpower won't let me

[ruby gale]

Exos are nice every now and then but gets old

[fickle hill]

I guess it just varies on the difficulty

[ruby gale]

Besides the only exo i really like is the shturm

[wide veldt]

They make abit of noise but its fun

[ebon blade]

I'm trying and upgrading all the suits I come across to test them out.
I'm not really doing the main missions but a lot of side-missions
and exploring. I have no desire to immediately go grab an Exo.

[wide veldt]

But be careful u have a alot of people to kill to get the suite

[ruby gale]

Seva suits work just fine

[fickle hill]

Oh yes

[wide veldt]

So what method did u use to get in

[ebon blade]

The SEVA-V (Freedom) is a great suit.
The SEVA-D (Duty) not so much.
Other SEVAs I have not seen yet.

[fickle hill]

Power poll by the trains

[ruby gale]

Jumped over the train near the excavator

[wide veldt]

Oh i had to use a box

I couldent get anything else to work

[ebon blade]

I read the 1,5-patch made getting the Pripyat Exo more difficult.

[fickle hill]

Yeah that sniper tower near by there used to be a insta death sniper but they got rid of it not like it was a problem I watched enough CS to deal with them

[ruby gale]

Seva-I is the best overall I think because spark

But SEVA-V is close second

[fierce nexus]

[ebon blade]

I'm wearing the Spark SSP-100I at the moment.
I have not seen the SEVA-I yet. Would like too.

[fickle hill]

I know where one is

Duga near the bottom of the map at kindergarten

[nocturne robin]

im wearing the seva v freedom suit

[ruby gale]

Never ran into the insta snipers other then the duga one

[ebon blade]

I'm currently at STC Malachite, trying to get them to turn green
by doing the side-missions for the Spark Trader and Medic.

[ruby gale]

But everyone ran into the duga sniper, the amount of people coming here asking about it

[fickle hill]

That's fine make sure to check the closet near the Controller it's hidden

[ebon blade]

I've been killed by the magical sniper
when I got too close to the great wall
in the Cordon. I never saw them though.

[ebon blade]

I don't know what that means. I've found three locked doors inside STC Malachite.
I know one of them goes to the underground tunnel I found from the other side.

[fickle hill]

Oh this was for the seva suit-I in the Duga

[ruby gale]

Also forewarning, there's a warehouse with a burer that has like 30 guns so be careful

[fickle hill]

And that's where the spark version of seva suit is too

[ruby gale]

I thought so, couldn't remember since its been a long time

[fickle hill]

Yep

[ruby gale]

Lots of healing and a sniper should do the trick though

[fickle hill]

Either that or get close and personal and look at it in the eyes with a shotgun

[ruby gale]

Unlike me who only had the lullaby and riemann with low healing

[fickle hill]

Please tell me you hid in the control room

[ruby gale]

Texan or ram-2 with expansive darts

[wide veldt]

When do i get to post pictures in general chat

[ruby gale]

Nah, got behind the container near the door and layed into him when he got close

[fickle hill]

Well that's better than nothing

[ruby gale]

I think thats a mod thing only, hence the screenshots and videos channel

[ruby gale]

Im just glad riemann automatically comes with extended mags

[fierce nexus]

When you become based

[wide veldt]

Oh ok

[surreal aurora]

You guys think we'll get any expanded content this year?

[ebon blade]

Post your picture here: https://discord.com/channels/504587323577729024/524231625039413249 and then all the way to the right, use the FORWARD
option to send it to the channel where your conversation is taking place. It creates a link there for you.

[fierce nexus]

Hope so

Probably not until fall

[ruby gale]

Idk, I think id prefer more optimization and bug fixes, mods should fill the content void to an extent so maybe a few things here and there

[surreal aurora]

There are things that could be improved with performance and such, but at a certain point you can't keep it from releasing new content. I at least want something to chew on. So many things in the game that left hints and clues as to what may be next, but that is bone dry right now.

[wide veldt]

THE BROOD IN THE COMMISSARY IS GOING TO TARE US APART WHAT DO WE DO🗣️

[ruby gale]

I know, but when the game is kinda crippling itself on the performance front were its difficult for some to do even current content more doesn't really help either, so probably a mix with a little more favor to optimization

[wide veldt]

Also do i have to enable my mods or do they come enabled

[ruby gale]

They should have a check mark

[fickle hill]

I just noticed Liquid rocks gives resistance to gear damage

[surreal aurora]

I must be somewhat insulated from this issue then. While the game doesn't run 100% perfectly, hell I have some complaints about the environmental lighting bleeding and super dark corners, I haven't experienced a performance issue that prevented me from playing the game all the way though several times now. My machine is a bit outdated nowadays too.

[fickle hill]

Or increased durability

[tacit jay]

Stalker's definitely artifact hunt now. I just found a ratking on one that was killed by some boars in that electric anomaly field in the garbage.

[ruby gale]

I've had a smooth experience minus a few hiccups too but some issues that I see others having isn't exactly something to be ignored in favor of content

[ruby gale]

A few do now

[fickle hill]

That's good to see tweak a bit of the artifacts

[ruby gale]

Now tweak the gorden to deal damage

Thing hits like an airsoft gun

[wide veldt]

Im supposed to pick up a package but theres no package 🤨

[ruby gale]

Wdym

[wide veldt]

Slag heap side mission

it seems to be bugged

[ruby gale]

I never really did a lot of side missions

[wide veldt]

oh well i got my dead body ima go bait the ais i guess

Wasent there radiation by the slag heap whered it go

Trap set

also im like invincible to radiation now apparently

I just unpaused my game and died to rads

[ruby gale]

Game heard you talking

[wide veldt]

Guess so

[stoic sinew]

Hi

[ruby gale]

Welcome in, gets kinda quiet sometimes

[stoic sinew]

I see it now, but it's not a problem 😄

[gilded sundial]

Was anyone using modular lower mutant health before 1.5? I think it may be incompatible with the new mutant loot (not loot able when mod installed)?

[wide veldt]

What was it patched why did my dead body dissapere

The x is there but the body isnt

Hes underground i can see his hand on the surface

•_•

[wide veldt]

I found an even better exploit with the mods i have i can sell to any person so i just sell to them then shoot them for my stuff back after i get the koupons

[gilded sundial]

But they only have $700?

[wide veldt]

No

[gilded sundial]

So its sell to anyone + they have unlimited buying power?

The one i tried let me sell to anyone. But they don’t have a lot of cash, so its only useful for dropping weight

[wide veldt]

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

[robust vessel]

Is the steam workshop live/working right now? when I click on workshop for stalker 2 it just doesnt load anything or is this because there isnt any mods for workshop yet?

[marsh iron]

Steam workshop is working for me and there are certainly mods available already so hopefully a Steam restart would help

[robust vessel]

hmm interesting, I've restarted steam multiple times and I even redownloaded the game and they still dont show, even the points shop doesnt load lmao

[wide veldt]

Should i keep scamming or just sell it finally #📸┃screens_and_videos

[marsh iron]

hm perhaps something is up with your regional server for Steam (I don't think it's something to do with the game); on another note Steam is crashing a lot for me tonight but not sure if it has to do with me working with the ZoneKit, so give it time and hopefully it will resolve itself..

[robust vessel]

Not sure really cant find anything on it other than people just saying restart steam or delete cache for steam which I mean I've done both, as for the regional servers, maybe? but workshop loads for every other game I have that has it, just not stalker 2 lol

[late copper]

Loving this last update. Good timing to. I just restarted so I could focus on the story line.

[rare hinge]

Is there no bug report channel anymore? It’s probably already known but anyone else organise their inventory then buy or sell something to a trader and it reshuffles your inventory it’s so annoying

[marsh iron]

use link in #s2-support

[rare hinge]

Thank you

[marsh iron]

(i too wish my inventory would stay the same way I organize it)

[ebon blade]

It has never done that and never will.

[tranquil hedge]

Hi guys. Is there a way to use console on pc with patch 1.5?

[swift scroll]

For the first time, Ive met the same person in twice after hours of playthrough while away from its vicinity. They were staying near the detention center and moved north of Sha's place. I havent seen them move regions tho.

[sharp gulch]

Simple Mod Loader

[tranquil hedge]

Seems it doesn't work with 1.5.. does it?

[sharp gulch]

I think it got updated recently

[wild light]

I walked with a group of stalkers for like 20 mins and 2 hours later found the same group in a fight at the burnt forest and they all died and Imma be honest I cried and lashed out on every bandit I found

[summer heart]

Tryin to get the game to run, ive launched the game before just fine, but not for a couple months. now im getting a UE-Stalker2 crash

[wild light]

Task manager, end the task, and boot it again works for me

[summer heart]

nope

even tried restarting pc, verifying game files, and reinstalling it

[wild light]

It's a UE5 game there's really no way around it past keep trying...what are your specs

[cursive kettle]

YOYOYOTOEKDKSNCOSMDSO, I JUST SEEN PATCH 1.5 VIDEO, IS IT OUT? IS THE PHASE 1 MOD BROWSER AVAILABLE FOR CONSOLES TOO????

[edgy shell]

Favourite OST track?

[cursive kettle]

megalovania

[wild light]

Yes!

[cursive kettle]

OMG EVERYTHING YES???

[wild light]

Console has mods and they work pretty good from what I've seen granted they are limited

[wild light]

Not every mod the devs have to upload them accordingly

[cursive kettle]

FINALLY A GOOD UPDATE AFTER MONTHSSS

[summer heart]

like ive said, ive been able to run the game before, im on a i7-11700kf and a 3080, 32gbs of ram

[wild light]

But shays mods are there and the QOL mod that fixes everything too

[wild light]

I had to upgrade from a 3080 to a 4090 to get decent frames and to even remotely boot the game lol

Are you drivers up to date

[summer heart]

ive played on high graphics before like on launch day

yeah they are

[wild light]

New update coulda broken it

I'd say reinstall the whole game

If you haven't ofc

[summer heart]

.

[cursive kettle]

so is patch 1.5 completely out??? im saying this again bcs my stalker doesn't have updates rn

[wild light]

Yes lol

[cursive kettle]

YAYAYAYAY

[wild light]

Truly idk man, any mods installed before 1.5?

[summer heart]

nope

[wild light]

Then I seriously think the games just bricked

[cursive kettle]

what changed ab a life? it really didn't it specify it in the videoo

[wild light]

NPCs no longer spawn on top of you AND will go into offline mode where they will live their life in the zone meaning you could run into the same group/person again dead or alive

[cursive kettle]

OMGG YIKES, WHAT AB AIM BOT

[wild light]

AI still have deadly accuracy which I don't like...plus they are still major bullet sponges but mods will fix it

[cursive kettle]

The npc's aimbottt, they shoot you through bushes and tall grass and have super reflexes when you peek

[wild light]

That's how stalker always was tbh

Stealth is better tho

[cursive kettle]

THEY DIDNT HAD AIM BOT IN SOC THOO--

[wild light]

Makes behind seven seals feel possible warden route

[wild light]

They were tanky AF tho

And did like 3x the damage you did

[cursive kettle]

The gunnnn, a normal ak was shi against some military npcs, the ones with the advanced ak or sum

[honest heath]

yo guys i finally bought official copy of HoC

[cursive kettle]

[cursive kettle]

Stalker 2 @wild light

[sharp gulch]

Clear your shaders cache

[summer heart]

how?

[wild light]

Oh lol I just call it S2

[wild light]

Completely forgot this

[summer heart]

nvm i found a thing for it

[honest heath]

its kinda wrong for me to adress it like that since Clear Sky exists

[wild light]

Breaking news GSC announces Stalker 3 Brain of Chornobyl because why not

[edgy shell]

Most people will get what you mean if you say s2

[honest heath]

Sadly that one of main devs died(

[edgy shell]

Clear sky is just - cs

[wild light]

Yeah ik

[honest heath]

Well it aint bad unlike CS

[edgy shell]

All the games are good to be honest

[wild light]

SoC CS CoP and S2

[edgy shell]

Cs may be less good for its ending segment but the rest was fun

[honest heath]

csgo was the GOAT because graphics, ticks and sprays

[wild light]

I'm gonna say it I'm not a fan of SoC...ik I'm so evil but CoP was more fun for me

[edgy shell]

I’m talking about clear sky, not counter strike

[honest heath]

oh okay

[sharp gulch]

I think it's on appdata/roaming/NVIDIA/DXCACHE

[wild light]

Stalker 4 Kidney of Pripyat because we're running out of ideas

And uhh stalker 5 is just in Saskatchewan...it's more of a zone than the zone itself

[honest heath]

I know that Stalker 6 will be located in scariest Ukrainian city

[wild light]

Lviv...

[cursive kettle]

THERE'S A MOD AB BULLET SPONGES MY FRIENDDD

[summer heart]

did nothing after deleting it

[honest heath]

Wrong, ZHYTOMYR.

[wild light]

I'm from lviv, it's horrifying...truly a scary place

[honest heath]

I was in Lviv several days ago it ain't that bad tbh

[wild light]

Ik I'm kidding

[honest heath]

But yea sometimes it has uneasy aura in certain places so ig it makes it scary

[wild light]

The true evil lies in radnyk

[dry aspen]

You can finally just take out the Ward guards at malachite and use the main door again

[wild light]

I love murdering the ward

[solar cobalt]

Wardens drool every other faction rules

[cursive kettle]

oke i installed like, 80% of all the mods i seen

[edgy shell]

Who needs mods

Man I can’t get over the music in this game. The boss tracks are amazing

[still current]

[hardy totem]

The jams, my dude. The jams!

[serene barn]

would an old save still work if i were to load that just to look at the stats for something?

like idk 3 updates ago

[cursive kettle]

lowk the mods made this game waaaaay better, more carry capacity, longer stamina, better ballistics/gunfights , god this new update was finally good

[stark crescent]

i cant enter the shevchenko. the door remains closed. im now doing the quest in search of a guide. i cant continue. and its a main mission.

the door on the sultansks opens just fine

i fast traveled somewhere. sleps 2 cycles. returned. now it opens

[dreamy dagger]

1 DAY TILL Q2 IS OVER AND WE ENTER Q3

[old bison]

Should i buy stalker 2 on Steam or Epic??

[smoky hawk]

why would you buy anything on epic?

[hardy totem]

because you don't wanna buy on steam

[smoky hawk]

just buyt it on GOG
