well i got mine before i switched back to PC

[charred nova]

All the games come to pc after 6 months to a year

[smoky hawk]

the only sony box I own is my CD player

[charred nova]

I’ll just fucken wait

[smoky hawk]

[carmine star]

which is why i never went back

[charred nova]

Console bros just don’t understand you can plug the controller into the pc

[hardy totem]

I can use my bluetooth controler even for emulators on my phone...

[carmine star]

KBM ftw

[charred nova]

It’s always accurate

You guys ever hear the one about console gamers and girls? Neither did we.

https://tenor.com/view/falling-drunk-shocked-surprised-gif-15546336

[strong onyx]

Agreed. KBM just feels so much better then controller overall.

[cedar cloud]

any idea why my game is crashing when starting a new game/loading a save? crashes occur with mods and without mods

[strong onyx]

This game kind of runs like trash on PC, not sure about Xbox. They’re working on it though.

[cursive kettle]

im trying to springboard jump my self in to the CNPP but i always die of fall damage even tho i shouldn't

[carmine star]

any mod loaders installed?

[cedar cloud]

turns out yes, now it works 🙈

[carmine star]

Perfect , Happy hunting Stalker

[cursive kettle]

I MADE ITTTT AGHHAKXNWOXMWPXKW

IM IN TO THE IRON FOREST NOWWWWWWW

OMGGGGGGWKDMWOS I LOVE THIS GLITCH

[wise depot]

Xbox runs good

I had only like 2 crashes in around 24 hours of playtime

[strong onyx]

I mean that doesn’t mean the performance is good.

[cedar cloud]

I mean I'm running this game at ~60-70 FPS without upscalers and with FSR turned on

[strong onyx]

I’ve only crashed twice, too.

[wise depot]

It runs good

No stutters

[strong onyx]

What hardware? Settings? That matters.

[wise depot]

Frame rate is decent

[strong onyx]

I can get about 150+ FPS but I also have very very very high end hardware.

[wise depot]

I got around 60 fps on xbox

So decent for the price

[strong onyx]

Doesn’t surprise me.

Consoles have been better optimized than PCs for a while now. Which stands to reason.

[cedar cloud]

4060Ti 16gb, ryzen 7 3700x, 32 GB ddr4. Playing on high with some settings set to epic

Only lighting is medium/low

[strong onyx]

Sounds good to me.

I just use the Epic preset for the moment.

Is there anyone who is working on a mod that can read the PDA messages for the people in the back with hella dyslexie

[charred nova]

That’d take a lot of work

I charge by the hour but I’ll read and record all the dialog

[languid sky]

Ai is a thing and its free 😱

[charred nova]

Slop

[tame gazelle]

wtb hotfix for flying corpses, im not kidding -> every second NPC i kill goes flying and it breaks immersion in game where immersion is 80% of the game.

[sharp gulch]

Hotfix should come tomorrow or Friday according to answer-gsc channel

[strong onyx]

^

[kindred fable]

Flyyyying, flying in the sky...

[worn drum]

maybe even today. 🤞

[smoky hawk]

damn, I thought 80% of the game were textures and shaders and sounds

[cursive kettle]

bro, where's immersion in stalker while: Npcs have aimbot and can see through foliage and bushes, you heal every 2 seconds because of the hit, peek, heal cycle, mutants are just npcs meant to kill you, A-life is a spawn generator of events around you.

like to be fair, i like em corpses flying, at least i get some fun after getting sniped with a shot gun behind 30 bushes

[river chasm]

Damn no fun allowed

[smoky hawk]

!ban @random barn scam

when those corpses get fixed i want a mod to bring them back-

[smoky hawk]

sucks to suck huh

[cursive kettle]

btw is shay in this server?

[tame gazelle]

ah shiiiiiiiit

[smoky hawk]

yes

[cursive kettle]

yep gsc does, ur right sadly sob

[tame gazelle]

i wonder what bug next patch will introduce

[cursive kettle]

let's hope smt fun

[languid sky]

They should add drones in here

[smoky hawk]

why

[cursive kettle]

HELL NAH

[languid sky]

They are the best at drone combat what are yall on

[cursive kettle]

Maybe as a mod but, nahh drones on vanilla are impossible

[cursive kettle]

we prefer to remain in a less cringe era

drones are just lame

[smoky hawk]

stalker? who, the loners? what are you talking about

drones sound like an awful thing to do in Stalker

[strong onyx]

drones in stalker just seems weird to me

[languid sky]

I mean sure i was just being a dick about the war but fr wouldnt it actually be useful for scouting out an area before going to it?

[worn drum]

compass invisible next patch. fix in 1.5.2

[cursive kettle]

u would be the only one using them, and tbf i don't want that 5 drones spawn behind me randomly

[smoky hawk]

look at this guy, he wants technology

YIKES

[charred nova]

I hate technology

[smoky hawk]

you wouldnt catch me witha SMARTPHONE in the ZONE

HELL NAH

[charred nova]

Let us bash rocks together

[sharp gulch]

I mean it kind of fits how stalker 2 shipped lol STALKER 2: Far Cry edition

[cursive kettle]

LMAO

[smoky hawk]

https://tenor.com/view/dog-accepting-fate-tiktok-at-peace-gif-567488341419321713

[oak junco]

Play games with drone combat or go volunteer to fly drones lol

[cursive kettle]

with how stalker 2 is rn it looks alredy like farcry since aside from the neutral npcs, Enemies and mutants have the only objective to kill you, theire basic enemy npcs

[smoky hawk]

what about camp clearing missions that NPCs engage in since 1.5?

[cursive kettle]

never heard ab or seen

[languid sky]

Watching the war in Ukraine literally inspired me to do that sooo its done my guy

[smoky hawk]

apparently, if a post is captured by mutants, nearby stalker squads will convene to fight them off, one of the squads will stay to hold the fort and the rest will patrol around

[sharp gulch]

I think stalker 2 is getting better at de-far crying itself. But still a lot of work

[cursive kettle]

make a mod ab it if you're that motivated, don't suggest it to be in the vanilla game

[sharp gulch]

New game+ should get rid of all the far cry cinematics that are jarring with how stiff (better) the rest of the animations are

[charred nova]

It would be better if fast forward actually worked

Still broken to this day

[river chasm]

Yeah just fix the cutscene skip and it's ez

You cannot skip cinematics

[languid sky]

LMFAO omg

[wise depot]

That pisses you off

[river chasm]

Yeah but you used to be able to. They just need to fix it

[cursive kettle]

yea, but, after that? theire done? do mutants try to get it back? and what's the objective of those squads once theire done? jus go around the camp doing nothing? that's a great thing but no npcs have objectives rn, theire just spawned with a basic objective to look cool, CoP haves literally Stalkers that live, gear up and do side objectives to do their main obj

[oak junco]

you can get your point across without swearing it is easy imo

[sharp gulch]

I'm talking about the super high fidelity cinematics that feel like I'm playing far cry/cod campaign and not euro jank stiff character magic

[shrewd kindle]

You’re mad because the cinematics are too high quality?

[oak junco]

I've never seen people complain about high quality cinematics lol

[wise depot]

I goon to cod cinematics🥀

[sharp gulch]

Yes

[smoky hawk]

if the squads patrolling dont see anything they scatter but the one residing in hte post usually stays, if a new squad of mutants comes in and takes the post over again, the proccess repeats if another stalker squad is close

[strong onyx]

What the...

[oak junco]

Do you have a weak pc or something ?

[wise depot]

Average gamer

[charred nova]

We should do an abridged dub of all the stalker 2 dialog

[strong onyx]

I find comparing Far Cry to Stalker a bit...odd....as they arent anything alike imo

[wise depot]

I guess they are both open world

[oak junco]

Both have guns

[strong onyx]

The weapon wheels look kinda...similar...ish...not really

[charred nova]

Massive open worlds with not much in em

[shrewd kindle]

One has malaria, the other radiation

[wise depot]

Farcry also has story paths

[charred nova]

So does stalker 2

[oak junco]

Story? In my gamma lite?

[wise depot]

By the way I kinda hate this guy

[cursive kettle]

yea but as i said, that's it, that's the only purpose of the squad/mutants, a little conflict that's infinite with nothing really special
and By Squad of mutants you mean newly generated mutants which their only purpose is to attack?

[smoky hawk]

[smoky hawk]

yhea same as COP

[cursive kettle]

nah

[wise depot]

He pmo'd in the story

[smoky hawk]

now mutants actually go around so, you could say, it won over COP

[charred nova]

Well cop sucks so

[languid sky]

Can i fix the graphics settings in the mod maker because i physically cant see anything in this game and idk wtf to put my settings on

[charred nova]

Low bar to clear

[wise depot]

What's cop🥀

[charred nova]

Nothing

Cop isn’t real

[wise depot]

Yes I'm sped

[cursive kettle]

Cells of Ops

[wise depot]

I should really throw myself into a vortex anomaly

[cursive kettle]

you think it's the worse in the trilogy or smt?

[charred nova]

Cop is the worst stalker game

[wise depot]

Call of pripyat💔

[charred nova]

Bro these bots

Relentless

[smoky hawk]

yes, this is correct, just how it rolls

well

tumbles

to the marianna trench

[hardy totem]

Bots be wildin' today

[cursive kettle]

i heard CS was the worst-

[charred nova]

No

[hardy totem]

You heard wrong

[charred nova]

Cs is the best though who think otherwise

[smoky hawk]

by the mentally ill and westerners

[charred nova]

Are simply mentally disabled

[smoky hawk]

you see

[cursive kettle]

what's Better in Cs than SoC and CoP?

[charred nova]

Cs is the best stalker game

[hardy totem]

Faction wars

[smoky hawk]

redditors and youtubers do not have the mental capacity to play actual games, therefore, they prefer COP

[charred nova]

[smoky hawk]

SOC

[cursive kettle]

you misunderstood-

[hardy totem]

Read the question

[charred nova]

Clear sky has the most interesting a life

Faction wars

[smoky hawk]

yes I did
CS has better combat, introduces a lot of things to the gameplay side, refactored maps are good, and better combat AI with animation improvements

[charred nova]

Trophy akm

[hardy totem]

Better story than CoP

[cursive kettle]

i mean i completed once SoC and i got the money ending, I wanted to complete it again in a higher diff tho

[subtle bison]

Call of Pripyat is good. Not exactly SoC good, but it evolved the franchise. Without it we wouldn't get Anomaly, Gamma, and Tarkov...scratch that Call of Pripyat is terrible. It created Tarkov.

[hardy totem]

False ending

[smoky hawk]

it evolved the franchise to the goddamn garbage bin is what it did

[charred nova]

No gamma

[smoky hawk]

and yes you would have freeplay mods without COP

[charred nova]

Dude sign me up

[smoky hawk]

are you high

[charred nova]

How do I delete cop from reality

[smoky hawk]

also tarkov has nothing to do with stalker

[charred nova]

Where do I sign

[wise depot]

What so bad about cop

[smoky hawk]

COP didntcreate tarkov

[subtle bison]

It is made from inspiration of GAMMA.

[wise depot]

I never played it

[cursive kettle]

what's bad in CoP tho, it was the latest release in the trilogy

[charred nova]

Bait

This is bait

[subtle bison]

Which is basically a distant cousin.

[charred nova]

[subtle bison]

Or like that uncle that nobody talks about at Christmas

[charred nova]

Dude tarkov existed way before gamma

[wise depot]

Wasn't it created in 2017

[cursive kettle]

what ab The stalker Trilogy?

[smoky hawk]

its a pretty hollow experience, its like bitting into a big nothing, the maps are empty and look bad, the story is boring and sucks, the balancing is awful and is inexistant, the side quests are the only good thing, but its all scripted sidequests that garnish a empty and lifeless world, you do them once and you are over, you have seen all there is, a-life was further neutered and cut

@cursive kettle

and yes, I am saying S2 is better tahn COP bite me

it has a better story and a better gameplay and progression

[carmine star]

I got email ads for it in like 2016

[charred nova]

And that’s saying a lot

[smoky hawk]

bait so bad it doesnt even catch rotten fish

[wise depot]

It's a sequel to contract wars, a previous game made by the studio

[charred nova]

Cus stalker 2s story is pretty bad

[cursive kettle]

lowkey looks like a definition S2 too

[charred nova]

Again

[subtle bison]

Yuh uh

It was made from GAMMA.

[wise depot]

I liked stalker 2😔

[charred nova]

This is just low tier bait

[cursive kettle]

i preferred to explore the entire freaking map than doing the story rn and i enjoyed it, unfortunately im done with exploring since i got best gear

[smoky hawk]

the S2 map is at least, good looking, the story is good, the progression and combat are good, but yhea S2 fell onto some of the traps due to the cutting knife

[charred nova]

Story feels patched together

[cursive kettle]

Meh, map isn't so good, it needs loading screens in parts of the game where you walk for tens of minutes

[charred nova]

Like large connecting parts were cut and just patched up

[smoky hawk]

the only loading screen youll see in game is when you load the game up wdym

[charred nova]

Yah game has zero loading screens

[cursive kettle]

bro-
i want the map like SoC, loading screens instead of walking and walking and walking

[charred nova]

What

[smoky hawk]

you still walk walk walk in SOC

[cursive kettle]

SoC doesn't have a 67km large map-

[charred nova]

You just get interrupted with a long load screen every now and then

Only difference

[languid sky]

What are yalls thoughts on the artefacts giving special abilities specific to the artefact

[cursive kettle]

huh

[shrewd kindle]

Isn’t that what artifacts already do?

[cursive kettle]

fr

[languid sky]

Not what im talking about like lets say one of the fire artefacts that you get from the middle of a fire store then that artefact allows you to make that storm in a reduced area

The artefacts give abilities that go with where they were and what they did to the world

[smoky hawk]

active abilities? thats hella wack

yuck

[languid sky]

even more of an example have the first artefact you ever grab make it turn you into a spitter that throws up the radioactive sludge on enemies

[shrewd kindle]

That sounds like a magic system under a different name, not really about it

[smoky hawk]

this sucks

[languid sky]

Dog yall are just bias asf having stuff like that is in the realm of possibility because of the zone and how it changes thing come on

[smoky hawk]

dogs mad we call it bad

[languid sky]

Its not even bad you didnt even give it a chance

[oak junco]

the issue with this is that breaks the established lore super hard

S2 is already dubious with retcons and changing canojn

[shrewd kindle]

That’s alotta of jpgs

[oak junco]

fr

[wise depot]

That's a bot

Mr breast💔

[oak junco]

@smoky hawk@short arrow is a bot

[smoky hawk]

what do you want me to do? take it to a nice dinner and then take it home? bad idea is just bad from the get go brother

you act as tho there is no way you can expand the breadth of passive abilities a artifact as without making artifacts be allegories for magic devices

[languid sky]

Youre just a shitter then bc its not a bad idea its in the possibility of the world the game is with the zone changing shit

[smoky hawk]

yhea its also within possibility range that you find me in bed with your mother tomorrow

zone changing shit and all

[heady crag]

Anyone facing an issue with KORA and Nightstalker pistols not firing at all?

[languid sky]

Yeah good one dog we are back in 3rd grade

Grow up lmfao

[smoky hawk]

youre the one trying to become the zone mage

[tame gazelle]

Anyone know if the Spring artifact has a higher change of spawning than others? 8/10 artifact spawns i loot is a Spring. I got like 20 of em.

[shrewd kindle]

Ask someone to mod it in if you want a zone magic system, I’m sure someone will do it at some point

[smoky hawk]

just you wait till they downsize the modkit, Im gonna port the best artifact system

the NLC system, without gacha mechanics too

all for you baby

[shrewd kindle]

Make skiff yell out the skills he’s casting too like an anime

[tame gazelle]

any mods here that removes or reduces the hunger meter gained from energy drinks? i literally have to eat after every energy drink making it a little redundant

[smoky hawk]

instead of energy drinks, use water

[languid sky]

Fr need a mod to help with these damn visuals been trying to make my game just playable for the last hour

[tame gazelle]

it gives stamina restoration and stamina cost, but reduce hunger that increases stamina losses - ok. yeah i know but i cant be bothered goign aroudn buying water bottles or looting every food crate with loot i have 20000000x items of

[shrewd kindle]

Hydro homie

[cursive kettle]

lowkey, to fix the Boring cycle of bleeding, heal and being hit again, a mod removing the animation and just giving you the instant effect would be SOOO much better
Or a fatal mod that makes all the gauges of stamina, radiation and health disappear and make you so fragile to hits, but making Npcs fragile as well and with less aimbot accuracy

[shrewd kindle]

I’d like a mod to make the stomach growl more often when skifs hungry, I’ve only noticed it growling when he wakes up, hungers the only thing I’m having a hard time keeping on top of in my no hud playthrough

[tame gazelle]

love stalker 2 animations, but the balancing on certain features is kinda wack

[river chasm]

If you're bandaging that much I feel like you're just playing way too conservatively

[smoky hawk]

if you feel like you spend too much time bandaging yourself get some anti bleed artifacts to patch yourself up

[river chasm]

Unless you're really low on health you can clean up the enemies first then bandage and heal

Save yourself the trouble of doing it more than once

[cursive kettle]

yeah but often when youre in cover, you peek for a few milliseconds and get immediately shot, i mean, not even humans react that fast and accurately

[smoky hawk]

is it?

I dont actually know that one

[river chasm]

I do it to the AI

[smoky hawk]

I think the usual is 150 ms is you are concentrated

[river chasm]

Though when I get into that sort of spot I will flank instead of making myself into the shooting range target

I just prefer to fight smarter not harder generally. At least in 1.5 it's been possible. And sometimes the AI has flanked me too

[latent cloak]

what do i do know
i played the og, the ee
whats left

[oak junco]

Start playing story mods like incubator, dreamcatcher, spatial anomaly, valley of whispers, goldsphere

[stoic sinew]

For the first time in years, I’m playing the wonderful S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, and it brings back memories of the old days when I played the older, beautiful S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. It's truly amazing and beautiful how the Zone feels alive in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. It even brings a tear to my eye that I’m playing such an awesome game. I used to think S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 would be a bad game with no atmosphere, and I was a big hater of it — but it turns out it does have the atmosphere, and it’s worth playing. And once I add mods, it’ll be absolutely perfect 😭

[carmine star]

like i love the game too man but come one, felatio not needed

[strong onyx]

Game isn't that old, just sayin'.

[stoic sinew]

For me, the bugs don’t matter — what matters is the atmosphere of the old S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games and having a good time.

[strong onyx]

I mean, people flying into the stratosphere can be annoying at times.

[stoic sinew]

To each their own :p

[tame gazelle]

tell me how I can hunt for a specific bleed resistance artifact? all my experiences so far tells me that every artifact spawn is totally random, except for a few electro anomalies spawn etc, but bleed? how

[carmine star]

Thats the gameplay loop

[tame gazelle]

pure rng gameplay loop

[smoky hawk]

they spawn in thermal and elector anomlaies

[carmine star]

Good, makes new runs interesting, makes finding that "one" artifact even more rewarding and special.

but w.e i actually like the loop

[tame gazelle]

🆗

[smoky hawk]

ehh

[latent cloak]

in goldsphere makes my saves corrupt in the garbage and i got soft locked in goldsphere remaster

[smoky hawk]

what artifact youre getting should still be RNG but spawn tables should be infleunced by how north you are

that would make artifact hunting better

[carmine star]

sure

[tame gazelle]

im just tired of looting the spring artifact with medium weight for the thousand time way up north

[shrewd kindle]

What im tired of is the artifacts falling through the floor when they spawn and then pretty much soft locking that anomaly out of ever being used again to farm

[tame gazelle]

If they spawn under the floor/ground are they stuck there forever even when you come back to that location 2 weeks later? @shrewd kindle

[shrewd kindle]

As far as I can tell yes, just had the helicopter anomaly next to Rostok get soft locked and the thermal one in garbage and neither have reset in 20 hours

[cobalt marsh]

Anyone found the kora extended mag yet?

[tame gazelle]

gotta love it

[cursive kettle]

bro is overly exaggerating fr

[tame gazelle]

Ragmans little office shack in Rostok is enough to convince me lumen doesnt work in this game - its almost pitch black in there even in broad daylight

he's just sitting there in the dark its hilarious

[dreamy plover]

if you want the exact same game as the OG why do you evenplay s2?

longer days mod on steam works and it makes the game so much more immersive wow, such a little change can add so much

[tame gazelle]

anyone know why there are radiation death zones in Rostok? Like Out of bounds radiation dmg? Rostok is literally in the middle of the map? Its not like Pripyat..

I was just standing on a tall wall in rostok and died of out of bounds radiation dmg

[sweet zephyr]

Where is there no edition upgrade DLC

[kindred fable]

He wants some specific things from OG, not the whole package

[cursive kettle]

ya doesn't understand what i mean, your logic is obsolete, the fact that i don't wanna walk for kilometers doesn't mean that i want to play soc.
Unfortunately im on xbox so i cant heavily mod my game and completely change it(and don't recommend a pc since i can't really do anything ab it rn)
Game was created like a 2024 AAA slop farcry game and only now it's getting better, only mods in the mod kit will make it better, im just saying that the game has been created in a too "general" way, mostly for casual players than OG players

[smoky hawk]

enginirer wants to use a speedy motorbike to dark accross the zone like the goddamn coward he is

[cursive kettle]

Who even mentioned vehicles

[smoky hawk]

I heard it from your thoughts

[cursive kettle]

i said i want loading screens instead of soulless walks

[smoky hawk]

youll get both

[cursive kettle]

ye let's hope

[kindred fable]

It also reminded me of people that hated fallout 3 when that game came out. They used to say "Fallout 1/2 are games about points of interest. Fallout 3 is the game about moving between points of interest". I kinda understand that mindset, tbh... But on the other hand I kinda wish there was a stalker game that is 95% walking and 5% action with big ass world to explore... Something like Death Stranding but with A-life and guns and stuff...

[tame gazelle]

you think the performance would be better if they split the Stalker 2 map in 2-3 zones? eh

[cursive kettle]

split it in all the regions which you teleport to once in, unfortunately the map has too much dead space for Goofy ahh Copied pasted stashes that always have the same things

[cursive kettle]

i loved death stranding 1,but S2 completely doesn't feel scary for me, its boredom and when i encounter enemy npcs(that spawn some meters afar) its just a chore i gotta do, not a risk

[unreal basin]

Question, is the Ward Exoskeleton obtainable? Doing a Ward sided playthrough

[cinder socket]

One thing I want to see happen is the Option for the devs to add Beyond no return uniques To before that point, depending on what Ending that person ended up with ? Am I wrong for saying this ?

[cursive kettle]

i mean, isn't it the operator exo?

[shrewd kindle]

I’m pretty sure the operator exo is in prypiat

[cursive kettle]

i found 2 operator exos there

[shrewd kindle]

I never used it because eww ward armor but I found it

[unreal basin]

Don’t know, never picked it up before, always got softlocked after Sircca in previous playthroughs

[cursive kettle]

i used since its better than duty one

[unreal basin]

I’m doing Ward cause Spark does not seen right in the head from what I’ve seen of them

[shrewd kindle]

I used the freedom and the loner one because I liked the camo and I like using loner armor for immersion reasons

[cursive kettle]

bro, no need to do the story at all, just get over the train with some skills and explore prypiat and get end game gear before even doing the story

[cinder socket]

Out of all the endings, the one with strelok is my favorite, that and the ward

[shrewd kindle]

I thought they patched the early entrances to prypiat?

[fierce nexus]

[fierce nexus]

Some, idk if they got them all

Someone might have found a new route

[unreal basin]

I’m probably gonna do Spark for my next playthrough then mix up the early choices for the one after

[cursive kettle]

nope, it's SO easy to bypass it, with springbound Glitch or jus doing some parkour(i did the parkour around the train)

[shrewd kindle]

Hope they didn’t because that’s my favorite area in the game

It’s really a shame that they only use prypiat for like two main quests and that’s it

[cursive kettle]

tho i didn't find the gauss rifle in prypriat so i gotta look better next time i go to it

[cursive kettle]

that's why u should loot it early game since it's empty of quests

[tame gazelle]

i was expecting too see pripyat full of sidequests/vendor missions F

[unreal basin]

So post Sircca, should I stick with my SEVA-V or swap back to my Wolfhound till I find the Operator exo?

[stoic sinew]

Why do you say I’m overreacting? I’m just telling the truth — as a veteran and fan of this legendary series, I’m being honest when I say I like the game. And if someone doesn’t like it, that’s their problem. Thanks to GSC for creating my childhood — a game I could keep playing even until the day I die

[cursive kettle]

Bro-, head to prypriat and get the best gear in game

[unreal basin]

How badly will that mess up scripted sequences though

[shrewd kindle]

Not at all

[cursive kettle]

nah dw not at all tbh, it's just loot, not quests

[kindred fable]

Wish I could enjoy it as much as you do, lol

[unreal basin]

I’m just worried about getting softlocked during a main mission again

[shrewd kindle]

I jumped in early a couple of times and it didn’t mess with anything

[cursive kettle]

i think u explored all parts of the map early game, the generators, the iron forest near the Cnpp, i just miss lymansk and the Cnpp

[unreal basin]

I’m currently worried that the old Post-Sircca Lodocka bunker bug might have returned after the update

[shrewd kindle]

I miss the Jupiter plant 😦 looked everywhere for it my first playthrough only to find out it’s out of bounds

It’s really weird too since the Jupiter plant was featured in the gameplay trailer that came out a few weeks before the game released

[cursive kettle]

btw you can get the duty exo in the normal map if you look good enough, it just has not sprint, which sucks

[unreal basin]

Already sold it

[cursive kettle]

bro, a lot of things were featured and just got cut and removed, its 2025

[shrewd kindle]

Yeah but showing something a few weeks before release that’s not even in the game is weird

[tame gazelle]

"gameplay" trailers showed a different game entirely

[cursive kettle]

fr, I LITERALLY BOUGHT THE GAME ONLY LOOKING AT TRAILERS AND GAMEPLAY TRAILERS AND I REGRET

[tame gazelle]

if anything, they were not gameplay trailers - but cinematic trailers.

[cursive kettle]

tru, scripted graphics and happenings

[stoic sinew]

😄

[cursive kettle]

wait, when did u buy S2?

[unreal basin]

Degetrev’s guys don’t turn hostile if I sneak into Pripyat early do they?

[shrewd kindle]

No

[cursive kettle]

bro idk i got. some crazy gear and story is going great for me rn

[unreal basin]

Ok, guess I’ll try it

[torpid moth]

Hotfix tomorrow?

[cursive kettle]

you will find 4 exos at pripryat, the liberty(best in the game) the brumbar, and 2 operator ones

so you just gotta explore heh

[unreal basin]

Alrighty

[unreal basin]

Where’d you parkour your way in?

[worn drum]

today or tomorrow. or friday.

today if we're lucky.

[cursive kettle]

dam, rn im doing story but i can show u in the map in dms @unreal basin

[unreal basin]

K

[fierce nexus]

Hotfix fr

[unreal basin]

Wait, found my own way in

[cursive kettle]

ohhh

[unreal basin]

It involves standing on Barbed wire

[acoustic kraken]

i got a new graphics card 7800XT and still stalker 2 wont run well... its insane

[acoustic orchid]

Any good mods for photo mode?

[acoustic orchid]

Looking that way but GSC has dropped some updates after 5pm CET

[unreal basin]

Think I’m just gonna grab the stuff in Jupiter then go back to doing main story stuff

[stoic sinew]

What are you so curious about? I bought it today.

[edgy shell]

It’s sad we didn’t get the dancing guy :(

[unreal basin]

Think the most annoying thing about my method is that the game doesn’t register me pressing jump when I want it too

[tame gazelle]

wonder how it could turn out if they did a Larian Studios/BG3 Early Access deal where Early Access players shaped alot of the game, atleast QOL stuff.

[cursive kettle]

Ohhhh, Heheheh all that enthusiasm will fade soon dw

[tame gazelle]

as BG3 turned out to be perfect in the end

[stoic sinew]

Mhm

[cursive kettle]

an unoptimized game rarely runs great

[tame gazelle]

not many games I've played where my FPS ranges from 144 to 27

[acoustic kraken]

but its insane. i mena with my old 3050 i used frame gen and just had that bad input lag but now without frame gen i get the same results. its sad since i really thought i can play the game at least fluent without frame gen

[worn drum]

i'm confident the hotfix will be out today. next up is optimization and stabilization i think they said.

[cursive kettle]

bro, it's not insane, it's bad, devs just didn't develop the game properly, lowkey it should run so well, remember that S2 had a 30 to 100 million extimated budget, it's just not made properly

[acoustic kraken]

its so sad. the game is so fire, its fun, engaging and horror survival but it runs like dogsh*t

[stark crescent]

Welcome the gsc gameworld

[unreal basin]

How many mods will the hotfix break I wonder?

[sharp gulch]

[smoky hawk]

VERY debatable

[cursive kettle]

Just play anomaly until S2 gets some serious mods

[acoustic kraken]

well then it goes back on my hdd till the performance patches come and enjoy other games i can now play xD

[karmic hamlet]

havent touched this game since november did they ever fix the AI

[mortal veldt]

you gotta love it when devs take the time to show you how to actually mod their game XD

[carmine star]

Has bethesda ever done anything like that before or any devs?

[river chasm]

Fr game kinda drops off hard after act 2

[mortal veldt]

Not sure, I don't mod their games. Infact the only Bethesda games I've really played are FO3, NV, ESV, and the DOOM Games.

Bethesda published the recent DOOM Games but id Software keeps those ones closed off as far as I remember

[subtle spindle]

not rly

theyre still moddable and id supports that

[frigid ridge]

hey can anyone tell me, if armour im wearing gets reduced to 0 durability does it get deleted from my inventory?

[gloomy citrus]

No.

[frigid ridge]

Think i lost it to a bug then 😦

[misty salmon]

Any new mods added to Xbox yet?

[cursive kettle]

nope

[cursive kettle]

install mod.io, go to stalker 2 and just filter to Xbox mods and yea still 12

[unreal basin]

Operator Exo has been acquired, and I didn’t even need to go into Pripyat for it

[cursive kettle]

Great

ohhh, i know maybe whrre u found it

[unreal basin]

The Accuracy buff it gives I like

[cursive kettle]

you walked along side a big tube and did parkour?

[unreal basin]

Yep

[cursive kettle]

ye ik it's kinda an easy place

[unreal basin]

There were electro anomalies

[cursive kettle]

i assure you, looting all prypriat is more entertaining than doing the story

[unreal basin]

Kinda glad me hoarding mutant parts ended up giving me enough coupons to upgrade it

[unreal basin]

Eh, I want to have at least a guide nearby before I loot that entire area

I only have so many things of Hercules

[cursive kettle]

heheh, a camp should be somewhere in prypriat, very near Jupiter

[fierce nexus]

Gotta love when camps are in the middle of nowhere

[unreal basin]

I’m not stick in Pripyat once I enter it main story wise right?

[cursive kettle]

btw, i never needed Hercules, i used shay's QoL and playing is much more enjoyable, much more stamina, more carry weight etc

[misty salmon]

Kinda hard for me to do that seeing as how I cloud game on my iPad (console broke a few years ago. And cloud gaming removes the need for storage but adds more lag, jitter, and sometimes ping)

[fierce nexus]

Like this one in Zaton

[misty salmon]

Yeah I added that to my game and it’s amazing

[unreal basin]

Do the npcs for main story stuff in Pripyat not show up until you’re doing the mission they’re involved in?

[cursive kettle]

nope, just find the camp and use the guide

[cursive kettle]

BROOO BE CHILL NOTHING BAD HAPPENSSS

[unreal basin]

K, guess I’ll head back after I have lunch

[misty salmon]

Whatcha gonna eat?

[cursive kettle]

bread

[unreal basin]

Red baron little cheese pizza

[misty salmon]

That sounds amazing

[unreal basin]

Eh, they’re too small to bother cutting so I just fold em

[misty salmon]

I’m having leftover steak and ribs from my birthday yesterday

[unreal basin]

Nice

[misty salmon]

Very

[unreal basin]

There needs to be guide for what upgrades for suits are branched paths and which ones aren’t

[carmine star]

thats what undo last upgrade is for

[shell flax]

Yep

[unreal basin]

I know, I meant more for people that always forget to quick save before getting upgrades at a Technician

[carmine star]

When you say guide do you mean like an out of game source or like the game literally explaining to you in great detail in game? Cause its already pretty basic as it is

[unreal basin]

Out if game source

Game shouldn’t babysit someone when making upgrade choices

[tulip galleon]

Hi everybody, I haven't been playing S2 for a while but the guns used to feel weird, I read somewhere it was because the mouse input between X and Y axis had different sensitivity. Has that been fixed?

[knotty flame]

Guys

I don't know which one to buy. Stellar blade or dragon's dogma 2

[austere pagoda]

i got a test version yes, working on it to make it less buggy and more natural, no date known

[austere pagoda]

no...

[cursive kettle]

oh that's a shame, i wanted to report to him that the Living Zone silver would often spawn 6 burers that would not completely attack the player or anything else

[unreal basin]

I encountered 18 friendly Burers once in Garbage in my current playthrough before I added mods

[austere pagoda]

ahhhh the burger problemmm, yeah they are very social in 1.5 it seems. i think i need to put them back in the freezer under locked mutants for open world

[cursive kettle]

28 FRIENDLY BURERSSS? WTF

[unreal basin]

18, F’ing autocomplete hates me

[cursive kettle]

Are u ever gonna make a stalker mod? by that i mean, completely new save where we don't have any mission, we just have to survive in the zone

[austere pagoda]

ill prob update all living zones with putting burers back, never liked them in open world anyway out in the sun

[austere pagoda]

ohhh but u see, i am sort of an emissary for such a mod, im looking for testers. ITS NOT MY MOD

[proud minnow]

In open worlds idk what happen but patrols and alife events are rare for me to see is it bcoz im not walking in road and going offroad?

[unreal basin]

Yeah, they can’t do anything if they don’t have stuff to throw

[cursive kettle]

HUHHH, ITS LITERALLY NAMED AFTER U

UR MODSS

[austere pagoda]

THATS NOT ME

[cursive kettle]

WHATTT, ALL UR MODS THAT ARE NAMED AFTER YOU ARE NOT URS-

[austere pagoda]

[timid laurel]

Is the performance in stalker 2 really as bad as they say?

[proud minnow]

stutters are non existent now after 1.2 but still low fps , but playable for me 40-50 fps

[austere pagoda]

im just playing with ya hha and no i am not going to make such stalker mod as it requires a team and i dont have the time, i do know another mod maker that is doing it and he allowed me to look for testers for him

[cursive kettle]

yeah

[proud minnow]

earlier it used to crash half hour for me

[timid laurel]

What gpu do you have

[proud minnow]

Rtx 3080 laptop

[cursive kettle]

oh okee, which is the creator that aims for that mod?

[timid laurel]

Oh

[proud minnow]

i think minimum is 3060 for this game

this game is like crysis 2 of current gen

[timid laurel]

I’ve got a 4070

And 5600x

[proud minnow]

I dont use frame gen

It cause ghosting but it give me 60 fps (i use fsr one)

i hate frame gen it cause lot of input lag

[austere pagoda]

https://discord.com/channels/504587323577729024/1389037135415349349

[broken iris]

hello

[cursive kettle]

Crysis 2 required so much because the devs really pushed the boundaries with what they could do, S2 is just unoptimized

[broken iris]

may i ask, which is overall better, kharod or dnipro?

[cursive kettle]

im talking ab a mod that will be in xbox too, is that gonna be thereee?

[cursive kettle]

kharod for utility, dnipro for damage and performance

[broken iris]

noted, thanks

[austere pagoda]

oooofff, xbox will most likely not see such mods for this phase

[shrewd kindle]

Kharods a laser, dnipro has more damage and that Ukrainian charm

[austere pagoda]

the mod itself is currently being updated for 1.5 testing for pc

[unreal basin]

Just found a Bloodsucker stuck on top of some lockers in Jupiter

[cursive kettle]

Sigh

[fierce nexus]

Kharod also can do grenade launcher

[broken iris]

i shouldve done dnipro then hah in my ward game ive done kharod

[broken iris]

can dnipro not?

[unreal basin]

No

[shrewd kindle]

Negative

[fierce nexus]

I don't believe so

[shell flax]

Nope

[broken iris]

damn, thats a dealbreaker then

[proud minnow]

yep you are correct

[shrewd kindle]

I carried around an rpg my last playthrough so the GL wasn’t an issue for me lol

[broken iris]

ah fair enough

[shell flax]

I just lob grenades at people like baseballs

[broken iris]

i mainly just use the gl for big mutants as im too scared to waste my shotgun ammo

[fierce nexus]

This is typically what I'm rocking

[shell flax]

Restarted my run with a few of Shay’s mod, scrapped better ballistics cause that Buerer one shot thing is a deal breaker for now

[broken iris]

whats the armour called?

[keen lagoon]

That's a good kit so far, love the mosin

[shell flax]

Pre order bonus

[fierce nexus]

The tourist suit

Pre order

[broken iris]

ah alright, is it in one of the journalist chests?

[fierce nexus]

I think so

[broken iris]

nvm thats dlc

[fierce nexus]

Actually, it might be in its own box

[broken iris]

makes sense, i got the game way after launch, during 1.4. What other pre order bonuses were there?

[fierce nexus]

A backpack change and a special variant of the Vintar

[broken iris]

interesting, thanks

[fierce nexus]

[broken iris]

im guessing stalker 2 wont have as much customisability as anomaly with the different pdas and knives

[fierce nexus]

Mods

[broken iris]

fair enough, i should try some

[unreal basin]

Mag dumping Burers in Pripyat is fun so far

[fierce nexus]

There's a mod that swaps the knife for a crowbar

[shrewd kindle]

I’d love the tourist suit way more if it wasn’t bright yellow lol

[broken iris]

so a half life reference

[shrewd kindle]

Pockets for days

[broken iris]

id say it looks nice, despite looking like a highlighter

[fierce nexus]

True, that's the downside

[shrewd kindle]

I just stick with the sunrise

[fierce nexus]

Thank

[broken iris]

is the mosin the three line rifle?

[fierce nexus]

Yes

You can find one on the roof of the detention center

[broken iris]

alr, thanks. Gotta find it

[fierce nexus]

Just watch out, there are fire anomalies on the roof

[broken iris]

itll be fine, i have a sircaa suit

[fierce nexus]

[shell flax]

Oh hey, enhanced combat VFX is up on Xbox now

[sterile idol]

i wish mods would release faster for console

[shell flax]

I do too but currently it’s manual review until GSC gets it automated

[worn drum]

they are uploading some rn. from 12 to 18 now.

[tired ruin]

We need gun mods nowwww

[worn drum]

i just want a few. a nice blood mod and disabling the headshot sound.

better ballistics is on console rn what a difference it makes.

[shell flax]

The Tavor 7 and TS12 are my wishlist guns

[shell flax]

Great mod, only complaint is the Burer bug

[cursive kettle]

i see smt new, some artifacts decrease the speed that ur gear deteriorates

[worn drum]

ooo tell me, tell me

[tired ruin]

I want a sks so baddd

[stuck seal]

Too bad mods disable achievements, I do want to get as many as I can so I won’t be getting mods until I get them all

[shell flax]

Burers can one shot you

[worn drum]

figures lol

[cursive kettle]

never happend to me

[shell flax]

They shuffled artifact properties quite a bit

[cursive kettle]

in modkit 2 or 3 we maybe have the auto test/approve bot for Xbox too

[worn drum]

doesn't sound as bad as i thought. dying quick is a lot of fun.

[broken iris]

is that a mod just to rework armour?

[shell flax]

Like, Wrenched now gives a flat no penalty physical protection bonus

[worn drum]

a mod that boosts all the attributes of the guns based on caliber.

[broken iris]

ahh

[worn drum]

guns do more damage.

to you and the enemy.

[shell flax]

Liquid rock has gone from the King to a God with max chem, rad protection and max durability increase

[broken iris]

is the durability increase a part of the mod?

[shell flax]

No that’s vanilla

[shrewd kindle]

Nah new patch

[broken iris]

oh damn

[serene barn]

Durability was a new effect listed in the patch

[broken iris]

jesus, thats mental

[shrewd kindle]

I have a medium durability artifact rn and it’s already noticeable, can’t imagine how good a max one is going to be

[shell flax]

Now they just need to add a few new effects to the pool from the trilogy

cough Psi Protection cough

[broken iris]

fr my diamond exo feels real nice except for when running into a controller

[shrewd kindle]

Maybe now I can get through sircaa without it costing me thousands in repairs lmao

[shell flax]

Also I will laugh my whole ass off in the future if they decide to add this to liquid rock as well

[broken iris]

make it an arch artifact at that point

also, does the oasis location in cordon even have anything in it, or is it literally only used for the strelok introduction?

[shrewd kindle]

It’s got good vibes

[broken iris]

fair enough

[cobalt marsh]

Its a psi illusion so yeah its got nothing in it lol

[stoic sinew]

I have a question — on which channel do people talk about mods for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2?

[shell flax]

#en-mods-general

[worn drum]

high and low crouch. 👉👈

[shell flax]

Skif’s knees audibly creak as he goes into low crouch

[worn drum]

mine would too if i dropped it that fast.

[dense sandal]

so how tf does the zombies not attack us when we meet scar in the sawmill?

[proper flame]

Theres like six mods on Xbox bro😭

[sharp gulch]

not anymore

[proper flame]

Eh?

[sharp gulch]

there's 18 now. Including DWO finally

[worn drum]

don't forget to grab the udp unjam animation test mod.

[proper flame]

Oh god what a difference

[dense sandal]

is it bc of scars been in emissions 4 times?

[worn drum]

i'm so thankful there were even mods in the first place.

[proper flame]

Oh true im happy to wait for the good stuff

[shrewd kindle]

Just need that flashlight mod that extends the range of it to come out on Xbox and I’m set

[proper flame]

Im just worried because clear sky on xbox only has like three mods ported to it

[worn drum]

even with the few that were on yesterday was way better than anything on the entire trilogy mod list for console.

[potent yew]

Who wins out of the big 4? (Main characters)

[west inlet]

Are they a good game changer tho?

[worn drum]

yes.

[west inlet]

Great

I played it since the first month and a half of release

[worn drum]

better ballistics alone changes the way you'll play. firefights are so much better.

don't need to use so much ammo.

[west inlet]

Hated the weight and ammunition I needed to carry

as soon I was able to go anywhere I wanted I immediately went for the exoskeleton

After few hours of exploring then went for it

What about the stash in the safe houses did they increase that?

[hollow kraken]

any idea why the weapon reposition mod didn’t get pushed through?

[west inlet]

Or can be increased with mod

[sharp gulch]

i guess still cooking

[worn drum]

i don't believe yet.

[west inlet]

Oh dam

[unreal basin]

Guess I can mark off being Sniped by a Ram-2 with slugs off my list of Stalker 2 deaths

[west inlet]

Btw did they finally add a suppressor for svu sniper?

[worn drum]

yes for svu and svd.

[west inlet]

https://tenor.com/view/me-atrapaste-es-cine-its-cinema-cinema-esto-es-cine-gif-17729711691959966457

Thanks for the info stalker

[worn drum]

[cloud carbon]

Rq question
I'm on xbox
But does ps5 have mod support as well?

[tired ruin]

I think so

I’m pretty sure it’s available for everyone

[cloud carbon]

Thought Sony was a stickler for anti mod crap but ok ig

[tired ruin]

Though I will say mods for console are limited

It’s mod support through the game not through the console

[cloud carbon]

I kno that much

[worn drum]

mods are pretty limited for console when it comes to the og trilogy though. for both consoles.

[cloud carbon]

Loving it when autocorrect says thar not that

Alr igtg

[last sage]

did anyone find kora extended mag?

[tired ruin]

Yes

I don’t remember where I got it exactly but check YouTube it’s also the extend mag for the fora

[strange dust]

It seems like we've got some new mods on console

[graceful dirge]

Very hyped to see the Feliche Dynamic Weather Overhaul & enhanced combat VFX already! 🙏

[stark crescent]

still cant get over the OPINION that psi needs to be pronounced as psi. and not as psy

[cursive kettle]

isn't it pronounced psi? who pronounces it with y? y would someone do that

[stark crescent]

psychologic damage

psi damage

psychologic field.
psi field.

[charred prairie]

idk i hear see lol, see radiation lol

[cursive kettle]

huh? wym? Arma reforger has the same mods for pc xbox and ps5

Sony isn't limited, you just need a good system

[unreal basin]

Have picked up my first Gauss Rifle in 2

[cursive kettle]

Where did u found it?

[worn drum]

i think people still have ptsd from bethesda.

[carmine star]

yup

[cursive kettle]

lmao, mods are completely not limited in consoles unlesss theire too big , they just need approvation and a good workshop to download them in, like mod.io or one specifically made for the game

[unreal basin]

A Theater with a light aimed toward the Gauss Rifle

I only have 50 shots for it sadly

[cursive kettle]

what part of prypriat? nord east etc

[unreal basin]

North, next to the building with the Bulwark exo in it

[worn drum]

exactly. but bethesda had their own workshop and the xbox got complete and unmitigated access as long as mods were ported unlike ps.

[meager notch]

"In the Name of Science" sidequest is still bugged. I cant turn in the collars to Shccherba.

[cursive kettle]

ill go to it again when i feel to, I've been playing all day in this week

[unreal basin]

Alright

[cursive kettle]

delete system 34 and sell your cpu, see if it works

[last sage]

cant find it on youtube too(

[tired ruin]

Mann I’m sorry I can’t remember where I found it I js remember having it in mu box because I’ve been using the dinpro

[carmine star]

Thats why i was suprised when sony eased up for Reforger

[cursive kettle]

i found a short vid ab it but i was uninterested lmao, it ruins the fun to alredy know where to search

[cursive kettle]

Bethesda is unfortunately Bethesda

[last sage]

i basically found almost every stash in game on my first play through. Not really interested in checking every single one of them again for 1 new attachment.

[cursive kettle]

true, the bad thing is that 95% of them have always the same things and nothing special

[worn drum]

i play arma reforger and i doubted they'd give full mod support to ps5.

[dreamy dagger]

2 days into Q3 we are without actual Q3 roadmap... liekkkk what the hoook!

[carmine star]

same here

[dreamy dagger]

@oak junco Something doesn't feel right here, boe, what it do....

[cursive kettle]

wym?

[dreamy dagger]

Q3 roadmap oughta come
I thought it'd come right when Q3 starts

I rushed

[worn drum]

stalker 2 should come to ps5 with same mod support as well ig. as long as there is no new game plus.

[obtuse umbra]

is there a crash fix mod that prevents known cases? I am having crash at a specific moment with specific boss and there is no one else on the internet complained about this issue so maybe general crash fixers like emission crash fix might help me, the support tells me to check system requirements XD

[shell flax]

PlayStation? Allow good mod support?

[unreal basin]

7.62 Dnipro yay or nay? Got over a stack of 7.62

[charred prairie]

if it shoots it can kill, i would use it, but thats me, plus 7.62 is pretty common so you can always have ammo

[unreal basin]

Its gonna take 2/3 of a bar on Accuracy which is maxed out on my Dnipro currently

I’ll make a hard save, test it out then if I don’t like it reload the save

[wide veldt]

Over a hundred mods have been made yet xbox only got 9

[unreal basin]

They gotta test em before they come to console

[smoky hawk]

nice

[carmine star]

Gotta get them approved before they go on xbox

its what ya pay for

[cursive kettle]

Obv, Sony alredy allowed full mod support for arma reforger so, its not a distant truth

[wide veldt]

How long does it take to test them cuz 3 mods came out quick on xbox

[west inlet]

Be patient stalker

At least some of the mods we got rn fix most of the things in game

[cursive kettle]

they just don't have an automated approvation like windows one, that's why it's slow

[wide veldt]

Anyways im in a big fight at malachite and i have no ammo

What do i do

[cursive kettle]

L, who goes around with few ammunition?

[charred prairie]

time to use enemies weapons

[wide veldt]

The boss fight with faust took it all

[west inlet]

Use Ground weapons

[cursive kettle]

i always go around with 600 ammunition for Ar's and 150 for shotguns, in stalker difficulty

[west inlet]

Oh ye that thing was a nightmare but I used my main weapon and saved the secondary for what’s coming next

[cursive kettle]

its a common mistake if you don't use the "better ballistics" mod, enemies in vanilla are just bad sponges

but i used to get low on ammunition too

just, loot the enemies and always get at least 500 ar/150 shotgun ammunition before doing any main mission

[shell flax]

If it prevents stuff like the ‘crash game on PTM equip’ mod, I’m happy to wait

[cursive kettle]

nah bro, devs rn are working on the game, not the mods, the tests are long sure, but there should be a team for the mods instead of making them a general thing, takin longer

[shrewd kindle]

I shot Faust twice with an RPG to skip that fight lmao

[cursive kettle]

HUH

[shrewd kindle]

It takes 2 rpg shots to kill him

[charred nova]

I call this baby my problem solver

[cursive kettle]

isn't it a scripted fight?

[shrewd kindle]

Yes but I didn’t feel like shooting him 500 times so I just him twice with the Faust-begone 9000

[cursive kettle]

at the duga u mean? in that mission i couldn't aim at him

[shrewd kindle]

If you take out all the psi lamps before the fight he stops doing his freaky stuff and you can just shoot him

[cursive kettle]

OH

[acoustic orchid]

Great tips love that mod

[tame gazelle]

GSC: How are you suppose to survive while being knocked down and animation locked so you can't heal while the Chimera is hitting you till death?

[tired temple]

the point is, you don't

[cursive kettle]

you don't man, you're done

[carmine star]

Lol

[cursive kettle]

lowkey, why did they use some goofy ahh animations like far cry instead of being the same as always?

[west inlet]

You can’t escape your fate

[carmine star]

Just turn game off now, cooked son

[tame gazelle]

In real life i would just kick the Chimera off me 🙂

just a smol kick

[west inlet]

Irl you would be dead in few seconds

[carmine star]

In real life the Chimera would mount you

[cursive kettle]

Fr like, im always weirded out by how many ammunition i have in my inventory everytime

[cursive kettle]

this getting zesty

[ashen radish]

Does three-line rifle spawn in random stalkers' inventories? I noticed that Kora-1911 spawns, but three-line rifle not.

[cursive kettle]

huh? from when?

ohhh, i thought ur inventory

yeaaa, higher up you will find some stalkers using it, but way higher up

[shell flax]

I found one on a zombie in Zaton

[west inlet]

Btw is the bread farm still in the game or gone?

[ashen radish]

So it spawns on more ranked NPCs?

[tired temple]

I like that a starting sniper rifle is found way way later in the game from enemies

[ashen radish]

And you can buy it at the start of the game.

[tired temple]

yeah

very logical, A-life 2, I think if the trader sells the rifle, in that reigon, you shood be able to find stalkers using it

[ashen radish]

I think so too.

[tired temple]

im bored, stalker anomaly or stalker 2

[acoustic orchid]

Got patched

[west inlet]

Dammit

Hold up im actually blind

Dave from yt? Man love your vids

[ashen radish]

Stalker 2 Anomaly.

[acoustic orchid]

When they fixed npcs looting the bread armor left 😪

[tired temple]

you want me, to make the stalker anomaly game, in unreal engine?

[ashen radish]

Who doesn't want?

[tired temple]

alright, geting on the grind after I stop being lazy, and thats never

[humble folio]

new to the game and Im curious about something in Stalker 2. What is located north of garbage?

[cobalt marsh]

@humble folio The CNPP

Well Iron forest techically. CNPP is above it

[wide veldt]

Any idea on why the sky gets red like theres about to be an anomaly then it goes away?

Should i travel to rostok to sell my guns or stay inside im weighed down rn

[sharp gulch]

youre using DWO?

[wide veldt]

??

[sharp gulch]

dynamic weather overhaul?

[shrewd kindle]

Could just be the sunset lmao

[wide veldt]

No xbox hasent gotten mods like tjat yet

[sharp gulch]

It just released on xbox. But good to know this is a vanilla issue then

[wide veldt]

Weird if i search for it i find that but its not on the main page

[unreal basin]

Oh no, the Monolithians in the building I’m looting have Saigas

[sharp gulch]

hmmm

maybe refresh or restart? i see it in modio for xbox but would be good to know if its not there

[split tusk]

The zone needs a taco stand

Being sold out of a half rotted van

[wide veldt]

Their should be a mod that has a bar with a percentage meter and as anomaly time gets closer the number gets closer to 100 percent

So people like me know ahead of time

[sharp gulch]

are you hard of hearing?

[wide veldt]

That warning is only right before it happens i need more time if im weighed down and most of the time i am

And thats if ur near a camp

[sharp gulch]

ah you mean the emission shockwave

[split tusk]

I mean many times I’ve had to revert back a few saves because the nearest shelter was to far of a run

Then I ended up in a pack of 4 blood suckers which made my evening very eventful

It takes 3 full extended mags of AP ammo from skifs pistol to kill 1 bloodsucker

[shell flax]

You want hollow points for mutants not AP

[cursive kettle]

i found npcs using it at prypriat, after that nothing

[cursive kettle]

lowkey with the ballistics mod, i use normal rounds for the Saiga with the drum mag i and i just take 1 mag if i shot them all accurately

talking ab chiamera

[wide veldt]

Should i install the dynamic weather though

[cursive kettle]

then, every other mutant is almost 2-3 shot, the snorker is the weakest, the bloodsucker is the mid, and pseudo giant just takes 2-3 drum mags of normal rounds of a saiga

[split tusk]

I have AP usually as my typical most common use is headshots on helmeted enemies

[shell flax]

Considering Pseudogiants are tanks on legs I’m not surprised

[cursive kettle]

the thing that i hate is that the rpg doesn't 1 shot everything, it's a literal anti tank weapon, and the chimera and pseudo giant still take more than 1

i mean, Flesh is weaker than steel, RIGHT?

[shell flax]

Understood, crossing Pseudogiants with Burers

[cursive kettle]

i always use the Dnipro since the 7.62x39 AP ammunitions are SO common

[split tusk]

See I’m not at that level I honestly love having a bolt action riffle and shotgun as my main weapons

[sharp gulch]

i mean its my mod so ill say yeah

[cursive kettle]

burers lowkey are weak, sometimes they take 2 shots, sometimes 8

from a shotgun

[cursive kettle]

im waiting it to be on xbox fr

[wide veldt]

Oh

Ends up i forgot about the rt button to go to the second page but ur mod is their my bad

Someone made infinite carry weight

[unreal basin]

Found a second Gauss Rifle, keep or sell?

[sharp gulch]

Dynamic weather overhaul is there. The other ones wil come later

[unreal basin]

Oh your Weather mods on xbox? Does it require a new playthrough?

[split tusk]

I’m concerned to mod stalker as I use other things for shenanigans

[wide veldt]

Read something in ur mod bio about adjusting something? How do i do that

[cursive kettle]

HUH, ITS ALREDY OUT IN THE MODKIT?? IN XBOX?

[wide veldt]

Woah i think the games looks different now

I like it

[cursive kettle]

wym, ur using it?

[wide veldt]

Yes

[cursive kettle]

on xbox?

[wide veldt]

Yes

[cursive kettle]

OMGG ITS OUTTT YAYAAYAYYAYAYAYA

[cursive kettle]

WHAT U SEE DIFFERENTTT

[sterile radish]

new reshade mod is on xbox?

[wide veldt]

Graphics and stuff the ground looked different i think

but infinite carry weight mod is broken

[sharp gulch]

yuuuuup

[cursive kettle]

AGHHH SO MANY MODS OUTT

[sharp gulch]

enjoy DWO. Make sure to report bugs or opinions on #1387390279857995796 i read every msg

enhanced combat vfx is also out :3

would be good to know impact performance of that one

[wide veldt]

My carry weight is still 145.2 but i have the infinite carry weight installed im confused

Where do i report this bug

Yeah everything about the carry weight mod is broken

How did this pass qc

[unreal basin]

I’m absolutely certain the combat fx mod is the only reason I spotted the Monolith sniper that was just shooting at me

[stark crescent]

at noah's old barge, i found a teleport anomaly. it anomalies to the flashbang village in the swamps.

i dont remember this thing being here before 1.5. its been added recently, or am i having a brain fart?

[cursive kettle]

YIKES IMMA TRY THAT ONE SO BADD, IS THE MUZZLE FLASH OF NPCS FINALLY VISIBLE AND WAY MORE BRIGHTTT? I NEVER ALMOST SEEN IT IN VANILLA, I CANT PLAY RN

Agh only 6 mods thooo, i wanted the tactical weapon handling so badly tooo

[static ravine]

So any chance developers can add blood pools and splats? If we get loud enough they may....a fps with gunplay and no blood except for most is insane

Mist* I mean

[wise depot]

I hope there will be a night vision mod

[cursive kettle]

there are, it's just that enemies don't bleed

[shell flax]

Combat VFX so far hasn’t hit me too hard

I’ll keep you posted once I get to the later big battles lmao

[wise depot]

Cause it's a pain to explore during the night

[cursive kettle]

Dw Devs will add it soon, do you see the little dot on your helmet when you upgrade ur armor? thats where you can select to add NVG

[wise depot]

Isn't that for psi protection

[cursive kettle]

huh?

uhhhhhhhhh, fuk maybe ur right

i always used Tanky armors, never the scientists ones so maybe

[wise depot]

It's necessary to progress the story

[cursive kettle]

i never got past sum point in the story, because after SIRCAA, the world gets empty, sad and boring so i do a new playthrough

[wide veldt]

Oh i read the infinite carty weight mod bio and it has abit of issues rn but apparently it does work

[sharp gulch]

great to hear

[wise depot]

Vro why

The world is excellent

[cursive kettle]

nah

[wise depot]

How can you just start again

Around 15 hours to get to sircaa

[cursive kettle]

i often start again after a biiig update or when the game just feels lifeless

im prolly gonna complete it tho in this playthrough

[sterile radish]

yo, quick question: is anyone planning on making a mod for console where you can sprint in ALL exosuits?

[cursive kettle]

im thinking about bad ending, the generators one

[wise depot]

Just finish in the Game vro🥀 💔

[wide veldt]

Do i have enough bandages i have 340

[sterile radish]

thats weak bro, you need at least a thousand or more

[cursive kettle]

bruh ru a rookie? get more or you'll die in the zone

[static ravine]

No blood splats, empty world, bugs...makes me sad wish they just kept cooking with the game instead of releasing it lol

[sterile radish]

wym? there are blood splats

[wise depot]

Bro didn't play the game🥀

[wise depot]

Blind person play through ahh

[static ravine]

I mean during live combat I'm not talking mist talking about blood decals on the wall and pools

[shell flax]

Yes there are

[cursive kettle]

Yep it looks like farcry 5 but without any vehicle or high ground advantage, it's great, it's just that it doesn't seem a stalker game, for me it seems a mixture of ubisoft and Bethesda games with a little bit of GSC game world Touch

[shell flax]

‘Ubisoft and Bethesda’
God damn what an insult

[static ravine]

And no a-life lol

[sterile radish]

blood decals are included during combat, they just disappear after a while

[cursive kettle]

he means blood getting out the corpse when it's down bleeding, not bullet splats

[static ravine]

Oooh gotcha

Yea Enginirer knows what I mean

[cursive kettle]

it wasn't a insult Ngl, it was how i see this game rn, the trilogy is obviously stalker ambience but stalker 2? meh

[sterile radish]

oh

[worn drum]

don't forget far cry. ☝️

oh wait that's ubisoft.

[cursive kettle]

farcry is from ubisoft so

ohhh lemme add fallout 4

oh wait it's Bethesda

dam i was so right, mixture of Bethesda and ubisoft

[worn drum]

what about skyrim?

[static ravine]

Farcry would be an insult just the same game with slightly different environments and guns repurposed over and over and over again. I did like fallout 4 though

[cursive kettle]

nah, doesn't completely have sense

[worn drum]

isn't that also Bethesda

[sterile radish]

skyrims bethesda too

[unreal basin]

Almost done looting Pripyat, just a second Operator Exo and the Texan

[stark crescent]

what exactly is your point, cause i feel like alot of yapping is happening, but not exactly going anywhere

[unreal basin]

Should I keep the Liberty and Diamond Exos I found?

[cursive kettle]

I explained it too generically, i meant that this game seems like farcry 5 and fallout 4 united

[tired ruin]

I have every mod installed for stalker besides the skin ones and I’m ngl it runs well

[worn drum]

more like far cry 2.

[cursive kettle]

Diamond???? where? btw isn't liberty the best in game?

[worn drum]

far cry 3 and forward don't have jam animations.

[tired ruin]

I’m on console as well but like I was expecting at least a bit of lag I’m not complaining obviously but I’m surprised

[cursive kettle]

wait till they add auto approve and you'll have every mod immediately

[sterile radish]

theres a liberty in prypiat

[unreal basin]

In one of the stashes in Pripyat, can’t remember which one got chased by 4 Psidogs

[cursive kettle]

ik i have it

[tired ruin]

Beautiful words

[stark crescent]

the game certainly feels buggy enough to be a bethesda product. god DAMN is this annoying. both places in zaton wont open their mother trucking doors now

[sterile radish]

and you can buy one at rostok as well

[stark crescent]

doesnt GSC test anything before they deploy it?

how about those freaking rag dolls. anyone doing a normal playthrough should notice rag dolls have a serious issue. dont this developer play their own goddamn game?

[tired ruin]

They’re making a mod for that

[stark crescent]

they just have 20 developers, doing stuff, and not a single one of those blind people playing, actually playing, the goddamn game

[tired ruin]

Look in the mod showcase it has to do with death animations and rag dolls I believe

[sterile radish]

they dont have testers?

[static ravine]

I mean they are at war as well too so I'm sure that has so ething to do with it

[unreal basin]

Wait there’s Gauss Rifle parts?

[sterile radish]

theres a cartridge attachment

[unreal basin]

Is it just a high cap mag for it?

[cursive kettle]

lmao

[sterile radish]

cartridge I mean*

[stark crescent]

no. you can only milk that for so long. empathy isnt a never ending bucket. eventually, its just lazy development. not war making it unable to properly develop a game

[unreal basin]

Should I keep both the Diamond and Liberty Exos or sell the Diamond and keep the Liberty?

[cursive kettle]

i love how they fly lowkey, i hate how npcs die, like sometimes if you just shoot them while theire not aggroed they just go ragdoll in a boring way, no blow back or anything, just ragdoll mode on

[stark crescent]

half of these bugs are avoidable by simply doing a playthrough after finishing a patch. and just use those freaking binoculars in your eye sockets, and see, hey, this is a bug. hey, taht is bugged. we need to fix that before deploying it publicly.

[static ravine]

@stark crescent fair enough I had more sympathy at the begining but now that it's been out for a bit it is running dry

[cursive kettle]

sell diamond if you're not in a collectors run

[unreal basin]

I’m not

[stark crescent]

i seriously have to travel 1.5km now, ingame, to get to a freaking stash box, cause these lazy developers bugged the doors in zaton

i mean, thats a pretty huge bug there

they added mod support, and concequently, bugged all the freaking mods

[unreal basin]

Are you sure theres just not a enemy hiding near the ship?

Cause thats what it was in my current playthrough

[stark crescent]

im not having hostility. there is no shooting nearby.

[unreal basin]

Just watch the NPC guards, just cause you dont have hostility doesn’t mean theres no enemies

[stark crescent]

used to be only beard's ship was bugged. sultansk worked just fine. but now i finished the three captains, now both places are bugged
