[mighty violet]

PATCH 1.7.1 WE ARE SO BACK

[mighty violet]

dude shut up you have gamma server tag

[oblique igloo]

so what are you doing here if you're not interested, you can see how

[brazen arch]

so?

[mighty violet]

its literally just out literally no onr has experience it

[smoky shell]

wait, why I don't see anything in update history on Steam? where to see changes?

[proven hollow]

thank god i've been proven wrong

[brazen arch]

and what i said that offend you?

[oblique igloo]

We are back with Update 1.7.1. This time we brought back artifacts that were hiding underground (even though Hamster begged us not to do so until he sells all his brand-new shovels) and… power cables! molt is crazy hahaha😂

[mighty violet]

this is the stalker discord, you have underestimated out hatred for gamma

[digital igloo]

Is south Garbage supposed to be full of Burers?

I just killed my 7th in a row and I'm starting to wonder if this is intentional...

Or if it's like the blind dog waves we had a few patches ago.

[burnt bridge]

Oh damn update

WHY THE HECK IS IT 123 GB

[proven hollow]

@waxen marten what about artifact fields that already have an artifact underground though?

[mighty violet]

update just dropped might wanna install that

[fringe cipher]

I REPORTED IT 🫡 Fixed an issue where the power lines could disappear on approach.

[brazen arch]

i dont underestimated it, i just dont give a f* about your hatred. sincerely.

[proven hollow]

it's 8.2 GB for me

[mighty violet]

i think it will reset artifacts in existing saves

[mighty violet]

okay and?

[proven hollow]

eww gamma

[mighty violet]

youre still complaining when you havent experienced it

[waxen marten]

asking about it

[brazen arch]

what am i compain?

[fringe cipher]

1.7 = + 50 FPS => 1.7.1 probably - 30 FPS

[burnt bridge]

Whoa that was weird good thing I went back out and tried again

[digital igloo]

Didn't see any mention of Burers in the patch notes.

But fingers crossed, I suppose

[cyan sparrow]

can someone please check if it's possible to sell artifacts

[burnt bridge]

It says 7gb now

[brazen arch]

i said they dont say anything about mutant spawn. am i said that they didnt fix it?

[proven hollow]

it said 7 GB in the scheduled list for me, now while downloading it says 8.2 GB

[mighty violet]

wait i think your wording is just really wrong and i might have misinterpreted what you were trying to say

[queen jungle]

8.5gb for ps5

[burnt bridge]

Apparently 6.95 on Xbox assuming your on pc

[mighty violet]

i sincerely apologize if that's the case

[proven hollow]

yeah

[brazen arch]

nvm

[violet dune]

when patvh 1.7.2???

[waxen marten]

if you return to anomalous fields with underground artefacts, they should go back to the overworld

[proper hornet]

did the patch fix poltergeists throwing stuff through walls molt?

[queen jungle]

I cant wait to check artifacts right now

[proven hollow]

Great, will test it soon

[wicked magnet]

What about wide anomalies

[violet dune]

2 artifacts for 1, its christmas come on

[digital igloo]

I just want to know if I can play again without being up to my neck in Burers

[cyan sparrow]

This!

[fringe cipher]

they are come back ? https://i.gyazo.com/da60994125bce57aa326fa638eb6623d.jpg

[proper hornet]

burers and my previously stated issue don’t seem to be in the patch notes 💔

[wicked magnet]

What about poltergeists, burers throwing through walls

[lethal kernel]

And also if they still throw objects through walls

[violet dune]

why they are red? its very not good for environment, also could scary birds

[proper hornet]

neither do npcs with wall hacks

[burnt bridge]

Omg surely they fixed that

[fringe cipher]

@violet dune missing in 1.7 i reported it

[hard pebble]

@waxen marten hey sorry, any news on when ps5 mods will be available? Maybe next year?

[proper hornet]

bro that’s not happening for a while

[hard pebble]

Ahh ok

[proper hornet]

i reckon like second quarter of 2026 at least

[hard pebble]

Well that sucks a”” lol

[mighty violet]

i'm tryna check the patchnote but my wifi is so bad arghhh

[hard pebble]

Be bored to death of the game by then lmao

[brazen arch]

In update 1.7.1, we exterminated some pesky anomalies, especially underground ones that were stealing artifacts from the Zone, and returned the missing power lines.
Introduced fail-safe mechanism for cases where mod incompatibility prevents users from launching title

Fixed an issue where the power lines could disappear on approach.

Fixed an issue where the Ward NPC could teleport in the player's field of view after killing noontiders during the Wishful Thinking mission.

Fixed an issue where the Ward soldiers could not help Skif to hold position during the Assault On The Duga mission.

Fixed a massive performance drop on opening PDA while the Shadows option is set to Epic.

Fixed an issue where the player could sprint while overweighted with loot.

Fixed an issue where the player could observe texture flickering on the staircase after the cutscene during the Back To The Slag Heap mission.

Fixed an issue where the player could have visual artifacts on Richter during the cinematic in the The Price Goes Up mission.

Fixed shadows on Skif's hands during the cutscene in the Back To The Slag Heap mission.

Fixed an issue where the player could use weapon attachments from the trade window.

Fixed an issue where the settings values could be displayed incorrectly after using the auto-detect or reset settings features.

Fixed an issue that could cause artifacts to spawn under the ground.

Fixed several issues with dead zone settings for the DualSense controller.

Fixed crashes.

Thank you very much for your ongoing feedback and support. Comments you write on social media and bug reports you send to the Technical Support Hub help the Zone become a better place with each update. Please, continue sharing your thoughts here on Steam and other socials, and if you see the anomaly that is not supposed to be in the Zone, report it to the Technical Support Hub:

[smoky shell]

How much does this update weigh? I can't figure out because I was installing mods at that moment.

[proper hornet]

ur not missing much, the only impactful mod available on console is better balistics difficulty overhaul

[eternal mountain]

burers and poltergeists throwing stuff through walls better be fixed bro....

[mighty violet]

hey thats not really bad, they fixed alot of things

[zenith phoenix]

Anyone wanna test this? I'm just gonna put the game on pause if it isn't.

[proper hornet]

it’s not in the patch notes so no

[eternal mountain]

yeah fr, ive been putting off playing because of that stupid ass bug

[empty mango]

Anyone have save near poltergeist? Curious if this is fixed but not in patch notes

[proper hornet]

they would put it at the top if it was fixed

[mighty violet]

it aint that game changing imo

[smoky shell]

So what is the size of this update? Can someone answer?

[proper hornet]

no bigger than 10 gigs

[mighty violet]

just kill them lmfao™

[eternal mountain]

on master its game breaking

[empty mango]

8.5 gigs on ps5

[proven hollow]

8.2 GB on pc

[mighty violet]

~8GB

[proper hornet]

150tb on xbox

[smoky shell]

Thanks!

[zenith phoenix]

This

[oblique igloo]

what 150gb

[eternal mountain]

it is painful enough as it is, with the reduced saving opportunities

[proven hollow]

eeh, you can still hear the noise of them lifting it up before they throw it, so you still need to dodge whether it comes through a wall or not

[coral harbor]

did 7.1 make the game run any better?

[eternal mountain]

yeah sure, but one mistake and you are dead, say goodbye to 30-60 minutes of progress

one point of it all is that i can go behind the corner and wait it out, heal and stuff

wdym i gotta jump and run, stopping me from healing or reloading

[misty briar]

Hope whole of my mods don't break it 😂

[charred nova]

Beta 0.7.1 is finally here

[oblique igloo]

true but it would be nice if the problem had been solved even if not mentioned in the notes

[violet dune]

ARG shadow drop?

[mighty violet]

me personally i just play it safe, go back to hub before a big mission

[primal pollen]

did they fix enemies shooting me through walls? or detecting me through walls?

[proper hornet]

chat should i get streloks stalker tattoo

[cyan sparrow]

on forehead yes

[proven hollow]

true

[foggy olive]

Next one would be 0.7.1.1

[proper hornet]

i was thinking on the arm where he has it but that also a good idea

[hardy totem]

@robo you promissed us it would come today : o

[empty mango]

Dead zones setting are still not working correctly, I have TMR sticks installed on dualsence, and have 0 drift, but setting drift zone to 0% still results in the character walking itself

[proven hollow]

if you're being noisy they will always detect you through walls, especially if they see you go behind the wall, the problem is more bullets passing through conceret atm

[charred nova]

The road to 1.0

[still current]

Patch today

Heh

[proper hornet]

play on kbm if you have the option, it’s much better

[proven hollow]

1.7.2 when though?

[mighty violet]

if alot of people complain

and more game breaking bugs are introduced

[still current]

Non existing for the moment. It can only be a thing if new anomalies show

[proper hornet]

when is the dlc?!? if it’s not within the next TWO WEEKS i’m going to review bomb the game!

[proven hollow]

there's always more bugs

[tiny merlin]

1.7.1 wait is over, now we wait for 1.7.2

[primal pollen]

it seems to me, or that they can precisely shoot me through a tall field of grass, but i cant see them at all

[oblique igloo]

now 1.7.2 for burers and poltergeists😂

[mighty violet]

fixed in 1.7 i believe

[proper hornet]

been 2 patches since they gave ai aimbot and poltergeists the ability to throw stuff through walls btw

[primal pollen]

no, i got it at the ps5 launch and this happens way too often

[proven hollow]

binoculars when?

[oblique igloo]

its a ps5 patch or not

[mighty violet]

huh i never got it after 1.7

[proper hornet]

hopefully tomorrow

[primal pollen]

weird

[burnt bridge]

3 weeks

[coral harbor]

ANyone know the answer?

[cyan sparrow]

Loading the game... lets see.

[oblique igloo]

the patch is also for ps5?

[empty mango]

I have my ps5 pro connected to the TV on the couch, kbm is not comfortable solution. And I love gyro aim on dualsence. Just noticed that they “fixed” dead zones on the 1.7.1, but it is still not working correctly. Even 5% dead zone results in the drift. I use 0% dead zone on the Steam Deck with the same controller, no issues in any game

[proven hollow]

great, patch is downloaded, let's go artifact hunting

[mighty violet]

like tall grass enemies just either dont shoot at me or shoot very inaccurately

[still current]

Next year

[mighty violet]

slow down man the patch just released

[still current]

[foggy olive]

Or 1.7.1.1

[coral harbor]

I am speed

[primal pollen]

idk, they can track my every movement and hit me with no issues in a tall grass field, at over 50 meters of distancr

[slow crypt]

Can’t I give my opinion? How some of you rly cry

[sweet vine]

Did the patch fix burer wallhack also? I didn't saw it in patch notes

[still current]

Yeah. It does fix some problems affecting fair game progression

[proper hornet]

honestly respect for you playing on the couch. i hope they fix it soon

[proper hornet]

don’t think so

[iron prism]

Still waiting for optimisation

[coral harbor]

I'm only interested in the game running better, its so stutery atm

[mighty violet]

imma test the patch tmrw morning im eepy asf

[proper hornet]

so fair

[mighty violet]

1.7 brings alot of optimization

[empty mango]

Can confirm that artifacts that where stuck before the patch are now on working properly on ps5 pro. Just checked myself

[zenith phoenix]

I hardly get any stutters

[still current]

Respawn

[foggy olive]

Hey you still have + 20, profit

[eternal mountain]

imagine what the engine change will bring

[proper hornet]

1.7 made the game go from a ghosting blurry mess to a clear beautiful image on xbox series x

[iron prism]

Not enough. Compare it to Arc Raiders performance and you will understand what is an optimisation

[still current]

Nah, game is significantly smoother now.

[proven hollow]

so, many, bugs

[vapid galleon]

they will remain underground forever

[coral harbor]

since .7 or .71

[eternal mountain]

yeah game is smoother on my end, but def can use some more tinkering

[foggy olive]

You mean delete nanite and lumen?

[proper hornet]

well arc raiders doesn’t have a 64km2 map with persistent ai now does it

[iron prism]

Yes

[mighty violet]

AAA Story Driven Open World game with tons of content and a 60x60km map and a extraction multiplayer pvp shooter

[still current]

7 and slightly .1

[violet dune]

just tested, electric cables are back. game is fixed

[burnt bridge]

Wonder if these powerlines are gonna effect Xbox performance lol

[cyan sparrow]

The items still through the wall

FAAAAAAAAK

[proven hollow]

i know the poisonous hole anomaly had one in the ground for me, so let's go check it out

[iron prism]

Have you ever heard about streaming assets?

[coral harbor]

the issue is im getting 100+ fps, but the whole game feels stuttery, mouse movement feels choppy, the game is shimmering with the lumen crap, it looks shit, and feels shit, the 100fps means nothing

[mighty violet]

the game is designed to be played offline

[proper hornet]

you ever heard of critical thinking

[proven hollow]

uuh, why are my subtitles leaving a trail of white particles when running?

[slow crypt]

Considering that in my comparisons I only get an average of 5 fps more than in version 1.0, I'm still waiting for optimization.

[gentle citrus]

New save

[mighty violet]

[proper hornet]

don’t play with me like this dude 😭

[still current]

Nope. The reason they disappeared was render issue

[burnt bridge]

I don’t even wanna hear all the bugs

[zenith phoenix]

Ain't no way bro

[iron prism]

So the answer is no, you have no clue what you are talking about

[mighty violet]

check FSR/DLSS frame gen

[foggy olive]

from what I remember the lighting was manually set there and it worked strangely for months, in Stalker there is a nanite and lumen, although it looks better but the computer eats up resources like an Abrams gasoline

[empty mango]

Where? You mean poltergeist attacks?

[coral harbor]

im using FSR QUality
frame gen adds a ton of input lag

[proven hollow]

no, like unironically, when there's subtitles on my screen and i move fast there's little particles/graphical glitches above and below them

[mighty violet]

Ghosting, UE5 problem

[eternal mountain]

they should implement hardware raytracing to the game, better quality and performance compared to lumen

[cyan sparrow]

Nooo, don't tell me that! I have soo many hours!

[proper hornet]

why don’t you just apply at gsc and fix the game then mr game dev

[proper hornet]

what do you play on

[mighty violet]

i believe its an engine problem

[proven hollow]

pc

[empty mango]

The electric lines are also back in game on ps5

[iron prism]

Why don’t you tell me what to do?

[cold ermine]

HW RT would just be HW lumen tho
since its UE 5

[mighty violet]

like the implementation of upscaling and allat

[gentle citrus]

Yup they are stuck now. You'll need to either try to get them out or make a new save

[foggy olive]

There are a lot of ideas for better things, let's see what happens

[slow crypt]

Bro, the Stalker community is starting to look more and more like the Call of Duty community 😭

[mighty violet]

they did just tell you what to do though

[violet dune]

This CHAT CIRCLE

Cry for new patch delays -> patch releases -> Cry about performance -> Cry for new patch delays -> patch releases -> Cry about performance -> etc

[eternal mountain]

i mean would still be better than software

[proven hollow]

it's glorious

[gentle citrus]

Wut

[burnt bridge]

Is that the chats fault tho?

[cold ermine]

if it was more UE games would have this
i didnt ever see that issue, not even in this game tbh

[meager notch]

Got my new laptop with a 275HX + 5090L and replaying Stalker 2 with 90-100 fps now feels so much better. Previously with a 5900HX + 3080L was a laggy mess.

[foggy olive]

Are you talking about loot boxes and Nicki Minaj skins?

[iron prism]

Don’t don’t or don’t not tell then 🤣

[proper hornet]

good stuff dude love that for you

[violet dune]

1/3 OF U DONT EVEN PLAY A GAME, JUST CRY HERE IN CHAT

[cold ermine]

yeah, it would be, just wanted to be pedantic sry

[proper hornet]

what you saying 😭😭😭😭 i’m crine

[tiny merlin]

That is why this chat is the best, you can litarally reuse all the arguments and conversations every patch cycle

[mighty violet]

most incomprehensible english ive ever read

[slow crypt]

More like a group of bootlickers easy to bait

[mighty violet]

climbing ladders produce alot of ghosting for me

[iron prism]

Cause it’s not my native language, mock me more

[proper hornet]

i hope the battlepass comes next patch. i’ve been waiting all year

[mighty violet]

yeah english isnt my native language either but i still got a C1 in it?

[foggy olive]

The worst is yet to come, when the DLC comes out. New bugs new fix xd

[proper hornet]

you’re doing quite good for it being your second language tbf

[eternal mountain]

they promised us multiplayer shortly after launch

[proven hollow]

you speak english because it's the only language you know, i speak english cause it's the only language you know

[proper hornet]

did they even say what type of multiplayer

[sacred cedar]

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to cry if I want to, cry if I want to.

You would cry too if it happened to you

[iron prism]

Third

[gentle citrus]

XD

[still current]

The only place that got some performance issues is redforest

[cold ermine]

now that could be a lumen or TAA/U issue
diferent issue from what i was responding to tho

[proper hornet]

damn 😭

[eternal mountain]

they did rebuke the coop multiplayer claims, prolly capture the artifact and tdm

[cyan sparrow]

I'm devastated.... second time i let myself to be killed from items through the wall.

I don't know if I wanna explore more the game, feels like bug hunting not artifacts hunting....

[mighty violet]

now Capture the Artifact sounds good

[lethal kernel]

Yep, confirmed, they still throw stuff through walls. Waiting for next patch...

[gentle citrus]

Sounds like the game is still not finished

[eternal mountain]

coop multiplayer is perfect for games like stalker

[proper hornet]

they should do like a 100 person server where it’s like tarkov kind of with safe zones and you like get gear and sell it or something 🤷‍♂️

[mighty violet]

imagine they added an artifact called "Sidorovich's KFC"

[eternal mountain]

idk why they didnt atleast think about it

[foggy olive]

Just turn off frame gen

[stuck marlin]

Now I'm just waiting on engine rebuild to jump back in

[eternal mountain]

cool but also tarkov slop upon tarkov slop

[slow crypt]

if it were finished

[proper hornet]

when they said multiplayer i though of coop too

[mighty violet]

like scar's Toasted Bread

[burnt bridge]

IT IS CONFIRMED POLTERGEISTS CAN STILL THROW THROUGH WALLS

[proper hornet]

my vision would only be kind of similar but you’re low-key right

[proven hollow]

well color me surprised, the artifact was actually above ground

[mighty violet]

1.7.2 when

[proven hollow]

jammer, relax

[iron prism]

UE with enabled Nanite and Lumen was a mistake. That’s my take. That’s all.

[burnt bridge]

The people wanna know

[gentle citrus]

I dont get why they even want to do shooter multiplayer and not if anything coop multiplayer

[eternal mountain]

nanite is actually good for LODs and such, but main issue with stalker 2 is that they ONLY use lumen for both outdoors and indoors lighting... which is crazy

[proper hornet]

imaging exploring the zone with your friend. that would’ve peak

[mighty violet]

great now there will be people complaining that 1.7.2 isn't out

[sacred cedar]

They should make a multiplayer where you can plant and harvest crops and raise domesticated fleshes, like a small farm and ranch and you can trade artifacts for seeds and then you can do quest for community center where you unlock little controllers that help you work on your farm

[eternal mountain]

baked lighting could def work indoors and would also work outdoors

[foggy olive]

wait, a new technology will come out that will drop the fps even more and then on the 5090 you will have 60 fps with frame generation

[violet dune]

Waiting for Engine update -> Cries why they updated engine -> Chat "experts" explains why XRAY is 100x better than UE5 -> Waiting for Engine update -> etc

[mighty violet]

the lighting and reflection in stalker 2 is shit

[proper hornet]

this is actually fire

[mighty violet]

thats like the only major problem with graphics

[iron prism]

I have 1080

[cold ermine]

pretty sure you cant mix and match baked with lumen

[cyan sparrow]

The problem is that the game is not fixed, like go play master diff and meet 2-3 protas in the building, good luck

[proper hornet]

no wonder your game looks bad if you’ve got a 1080

[gentle citrus]

It's actually bad. Nanite is worse than normal LOD

[violet dune]

Stalker 2 Extraction BR! Last guy standing takes everyones loot

[mighty violet]

[eternal mountain]

dont know much about unreal tho, just shooting shit

[proper hornet]

make sure there’s a battlepass with a strelok skin and a wishgranter weapon camo

[iron prism]

Almost all games run fine, except Stalker though

[tiny merlin]

What if we already have multiplayer, but it has always been multiple objects flying through walls to kill the player. Huge if true

[cold ermine]

also this game only uses nanite on buildings and such
foliage and everything else is using old fashioned LOD'S
(those LOD's look sh't BTW)

[violet dune]

you need to unlock battlepass with battlepass

[proper hornet]

1080 is like the bottom of the barrel card. i’m surprised your computer hasn’t exploded

[burnt bridge]

Guys who didn’t tell them about the poltergeists… we had three weeks to tell them…

[sacred cedar]

The real multiplayer is invading other people's games as poltergeist and killing them with stuff through the walls

[proper hornet]

how many stalker bucks does the battlepass cost?

[cyan sparrow]

Everyone was yapping about it....

[slow crypt]

You complain about people complaining 😭

[mighty violet]

hey don't diss the 1080 like that (but i have to agree, a 1080 in nearly 2026 is crazy)

[empty mango]

Oh noooo. This could be a perfect patch.

[iron prism]

Oh, sorry, I’ll immediately go and buy a modern card 🤣

[gentle citrus]

What have we become as humanity 😭

[mighty violet]

ok then i will complain about people complaining about people complaining

[burnt bridge]

Maybe it’s just part of poltergeists abilities now…

[proper hornet]

the 1080 is like a vietnam veteran, still kicking, capable in its prime but ultimately you gotta let it rest

[slow crypt]

Don't act deep 😭

[cold ermine]

i'll complain 5.5 isnt out yet

[mighty violet]

that i agree

[slow crypt]

I hate 2.0, it's a disgusting number.

[cyan sparrow]

I'm kinda tired of it, specially when you support devs with several game copies, and art book.

[proper hornet]

can someone tell grok to just make gamma 2 already

[mighty violet]

i'll complain about you complaining about my complaining

[cold ermine]

complain to him

[burnt bridge]

Feels like a big thank you to all the people who bought it recently also 🤷‍♂️

[slow crypt]

“At least I’m not a bootlicker.”

[mighty violet]

not enough mods for grok to steal sadly

[sacred cedar]

They should make a StalkerGO! Mobile game where you walk around and catch mutants with artifacts and you can visit anomaly fields and spin them to get more artifacts to catch more mutants

[iron prism]

Who’s walking though

[sacred cedar]

You play as Strider obviously it's in the name

[proper hornet]

are we throwing shade at THE grok

[gentle citrus]

Don't we already kinda have it. I seen a craft mod and some others that look like gamma

[burnt bridge]

Ahem… cough cough… three weeks…. Ahem 😬

[mighty violet]

yes WE are

[dreamy forge]

And sued by Nintendo

[proper hornet]

i know WE (and i mean all of us) would NEVER throw shade at THE grok

[mighty violet]

oh boy you have never seen how gamma-phobic some of the people here is

[cold ermine]

[eternal mountain]

been playing alot of stalker gamma recently.. but i miss stalker 2 so much, i wanna wait till the new dlcs and stuff come out

[gentle citrus]

People just hateful

[proven hollow]

gamma-phobia isn't a real thing, it's just what slop-fanboys call good taste

[proper hornet]

gamma has objectively done so much for the community in the time before stalker 2

[zenith phoenix]

gamma-phobic has gotta be one of the most terminally online things I've ever seen being said.

[proper hornet]

and i think grok is THE GOAT

[burnt bridge]

Already stalker you’ll win me over if you start rolling out the mods…

[eternal mountain]

and all the mod authors

[wicked magnet]

Who also thinks that unique anomalous areas are underutilized in S2?

[proven hollow]

and none of it was positive

[pseudo gate]

So the artifacts are fixed, but burers owerspawning is not?

[proper hornet]

i don’t think stalker would’ve survived without the mods

[eternal mountain]

pripyat is underwhelmingly underutilized

[pseudo gate]

Ofc

[mighty violet]

i mean yeah it helped with the game's reach but it did make people have a different expectation for stalker 2

[proper hornet]

1 iq lukewarm take

[mighty violet]

[proper hornet]

i think stalker 2 could’ve taken a bit more from gamma. especially the crafting system

[mighty violet]

yess the goat at uncrediting mod authors!!

[stuck grove]

@pseudo gate gotta get m701 super and blast those midget fools with one shot headshot. Their fingers sell like crazy.

[mighty violet]

hell no the crafting in anomaly is HORRENDOUS

[proven hollow]

the bait is so bad...

[burnt bridge]

Oh yeah I forgot about the mutant spawns aha. Wonder if that’s tripled instead

[proper hornet]

i like the crafting but to each their own

[pseudo gate]

I do that with mosin, 4 shots that's it
Just annoying to traverse the garbage that's it

[eternal mountain]

one thing i love about stalker games since clear sky is artifact hunting.. and gamma somehow made it unfun, but it is more involved i guess

[burnt bridge]

No robo has one opinion and only that no one else’s matter it’s just a thing

[proper hornet]

oh i see

“the bait is so bad” 💀

[proven hollow]

how come gamma boys always come with the most hilarious takes, but then you find out they were actually serious so sad

[proper hornet]

i bet ur cute irl

[burnt bridge]

I get that vibe

[pseudo gate]

I wonder why can't gamma players just play gamma instead of wanting S2 to become gamma2

[proven hollow]

cute as a snork with a fork

[sacred cedar]

They should make stalker multiplayer where you spend all day on discord complaining about everything in the game instead of doing literally anything else and call it The Crying Zone

[proper hornet]

i never said i like gamma more, because i think stalker 2 is better it just could’ve taken inspiration from the crafting system in gamma

[sacred cedar]

Because they have negative iq

[mighty violet]

[coral shadow]

Bread

[eternal mountain]

like why the hell do i gotta collect 5 chimera hearts, 5 burer fingers, 5 diet cokes and one large fry + 2 fully charged artifacts to make one tier 4 artifact, i get that its supposed to be the best artifact in the world but holy grind that is not fun.. and also you need to find the recipe book from a sin or monolith soldier, but that is easy i found

[mighty violet]

[slow crypt]

Half the people come to bait in this chat because people cry a lot

[mighty violet]

"bread"

[proper hornet]

give this man a true

[burnt bridge]

🍞

[pseudo gate]

Does stalker really needs crafting slop?

[sacred cedar]

Mutant hides and kevlar is always the better option in gamma artifacts are literally garbage made for autistic man babies

[mighty violet]

yall hear me out
i think gsc current vision is to improve on the original trilogy's mechanic, not adding onto it

[proper hornet]

i think you should be able to make weapon cleaning kits and armour repair kits at the very least. having crafting or cooking also incentivises exploration and keeps the game interesting

[rotund path]

Hello,

[mighty violet]

hell naw just chug 10 cans of unspecified meat

[proper hornet]

why are they telling the truth?

[proven hollow]

there's unironically a reason why nobody eats anything that lives or grows in the zone

[rotund path]

Want to join the game but overall i tried many mods but its really bad how NPC react and shoot with shotguns like a sniper, is there a way to remove this problem with a mod?

[still current]

[tiny merlin]

Well, if you are not shitting on gamma players or complaining about everything even remotely connected to Stalker 2 what are you even doing here?

[mighty violet]

that problem has been fixed since patch 1.7.

[still current]

When was the last time you played?

[proper hornet]

“radiation hurts my tummy ☹️🥺”

[sacred cedar]

The original trilogy didn't need it but in stalker 2 and how fast your weapons break having repair kits is almost a necessity, because traveling in the game is horrible. Either they need to put local guides who can travel you to a base and back for repairs or add repairs kits or make durability better

[wicked magnet]

"I want S2 to be like Gamma, that's what I was told on the Gamma Discord channel."

[proper hornet]

oh what’s this glowing rock? let me put it in my pocket right now

[rotund path]

no not really, just played some days ago with 1.7.1 and they saw me so far away and instant shot me 😄

[pseudo gate]

I don't mind weapon maintenance kits, but on master I'm often doing shorter runs anyways

[eternal mountain]

in call of pripyat, guns tend to break with use and if a grenade explodes near you, say goodbye to 10% of the durability

[mighty violet]

strange those shotgunners couldnt even hit me 10 yards away

[sturdy nymph]

It'll eat your tummy also

[mighty violet]

how about putting it in your stomach

glowing anomalous shit

[eternal mountain]

shadow of chornobyl had that fun thing with artifacts that allowed you to repair your equipment, especially since there were no mechanics in that game

[sacred cedar]

There is simply no excuse that your gun goes from 100 to 50 in about 2-3 skirmishes

[proper hornet]

exactly

[pseudo gate]

Yeah, I agree

[mighty violet]

people in the zone just dont know how to clean guns ig

[pseudo gate]

It breaks immersion more than anything

[proven hollow]

typical that a gamma fanboy wouldn't understand the difference between keeping a rock at your belt and eating irridiated meat

[mighty violet]

never experienced that outside of master

[proper hornet]

me when the bait is bad

[pseudo gate]

In the gunfight you're not thinking about survival but "oh damn I got shot 2 times that's -5k coupons"

[proven hollow]

bait ain't bad if you take it...

[proper hornet]

touché

[pseudo gate]

Like the health is the cheapest thing to restore

[mighty violet]

my USP literally starts jamming after 2 mags in master

[rotund path]

my second "problem" is : the world is very empty, most the time i am just walking from A to B, what do you guys do in this case to enjoy the game?

[proper hornet]

i feel like everyone would know how to do that but whatever

[eternal mountain]

with guns and armor breaking so fast in stalker 2, i guess the devs wanted to make players look for other equipment, rather than fix them... but alas the upgrade system would be totally pointless because of it

[mighty violet]

artifact hunting, killing random bandits, going on side quests, getting bent over and rimmed by mutants, etc.

[pseudo gate]

It was like that in SoC but SoC wasn't huge open world game

[eternal mountain]

breathe in the atmosphere

[sacred cedar]

If they wanted you to have 20 guns to switch they wouldn't have limited the carry limit so much or made unique weapons that barely do anything special

[pseudo gate]

It was semi-linear at best

[stark crescent]

They found the slav who stole all the copper wires?

[frigid hill]

basednano has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[stark crescent]

I cant say slav?

[proper hornet]

is your name based nano

[pseudo gate]

Apparently you can

[sacred cedar]

They simply fuked up the balancing of durability and degrading

[stark crescent]

Oh wiat. It wasnt me who got wolfed

[pseudo gate]

Oh well, another 2 weeks till 1.7.2 that will fix overspawning

[ancient fractal]

Wales and Greece gotta have the coolest flags oat

[proper hornet]

bruh cool eagle on a red flag is tuff

[ancient fractal]

Albania's flag overrated

[eternal mountain]

indian flag is a glorified peter griffin meme

[ancient fractal]

Indians flag has the ugliest colours ever

[sacred cedar]

It's one thing if you're out in the world exploring you can slowly run back to a base for repairs but this game has missions where you're constantly in a firefight with no escape and I played on the hardest difficulty before master and often went red with my weapons

[proven hollow]

powerlines be looking thick though: #📸┃screens_and_videos message

[sacred cedar]

It's just badly designed/tested

[mighty violet]

just abandon the missions lol

[proper hornet]

so we are joking

[mighty violet]

like youre about to go somewhere else?
trek 5km to the nearest hub

[sacred cedar]

It's the main story you low IQ mongrel

[ancient fractal]

Take a chill pill

[mighty violet]

you can just abandon missions like that though

[proven hollow]

he can't help it he's a gamma fanboy

[mighty violet]

except maybe like SIRCAA or Point of No Return

[eternal mountain]

in swamps for example you can find atleast 3 new weapons, just abandon your old upgraded guns

[ancient fractal]

What's wrong with gamma

[south parcel]

Am I dreaming or did stalker 2 get an update

[proper hornet]

apparently no one here likes gamma

[mighty violet]

youre in a coma

[tacit jay]

Does new update fix artifacts spawning under ground?

[mighty violet]

youre about to wake up in exactly 5 minutes

[ancient fractal]

I like gamma

[proper hornet]

same dude, same

[mighty violet]

enjoy 2030

[proven hollow]

yes

[mighty violet]

its in the patchnote

[south parcel]

I haven't played it because unfortunately I'm on console until I have enough money for a PC

But it looks alright for a mod

i play on the missus pc

Fortnite is no magnum opus

Not even close

it’s no concord but it’s aight

[unreal gull]

well about that

[south parcel]

Anyway it's time to pray to the Monolith

[mighty violet]

what if instead of stalker 2 it was stallker 2 and you just stall sircaa by doijg dumb shit

[meager notch]

Opening the map still causes a slight FPS drop, no where as near as 1.7

[nova zephyr]

Did they fix the artifacting/flickering with DLSS Enabled for 5000 series cards in this patch or is that still a thing

[proven hollow]

oh, it's that guy

[sacred cedar]

They actually didn't fix anything this Patch it's an out of season April fools joke the 8 gigs download is just stalker memes and fart sound effects for a future update

[proper hornet]

you’re not supposed to tell them that

[cyan sparrow]

Dam....

"Answer:
bureres and poltergeists aren't fixed yet"

[sacred cedar]

No one can tell me what to do! I'm a real Rebel, rules are meant to be broken

[oblique igloo]

this is a shame but never mind what we have to do

[proper hornet]

so tuff 😎

[proven hollow]

tougher than any gamma player

[oblique igloo]

oook rebel assault

[covert stirrup]

So wait the new update fixed some anomalies that weren't spawning artifacts even though you could see them with the scanner?

[mighty violet]

i dont get why people keep saying like "i'll wait for the game to be fixed one year after launch!!!!!" like damn just play the game if you really want to or at least keep it to yourself

[covert stirrup]

Because that happened to me like in 5 anomalies or so

[mighty violet]

it was spawning but it was underground

[covert stirrup]

Yes exactly

[covert stirrup]

So that's fixed yeah?

[mighty violet]

yeah its fixed

[oblique igloo]

tougher than a tough guy

[mighty violet]

all artifact position should be reset

[covert stirrup]

Nice i wanted to get all of them but i couldn't do some heh

[cyan sparrow]

#☢┃stalker-general message

[mighty violet]

i havent tested it myself but from whst i can tell yeah

[weary hedge]

Wtf did they fix anything? The artifacts are still underground bro im starting to get pretty annoyed by this shit dont tell me i have to start a new save file

[mighty violet]

is your save file directly next to an anomaly orrr

[coral shadow]

Try validating files

[mighty violet]

cuz if thats the case then it wont be reset

[vernal rampart]

Some huge ass update

[proven hollow]

walk awayfrom it a big while, then go back

[covert stirrup]

Like for example yesterday i did Weird Water artifact, once it got bugged underground (i could only see the bottle cap lmao but couldn't pick it up). I loaded the save 10 mins prior, went again, then it spawned correctly

[tiny merlin]

Wow, setting the bar really low I see

[vernal rampart]

Taking forever to download

[cyan sparrow]

The game?

[mighty violet]

its only ~8GB wdym

[south parcel]

Maybe your Internet is just hogwash

[vernal rampart]

100mbps

[mighty violet]

thats really shit

[weary hedge]

I wasnt even close to the artifact i marked all stuck artifacts and when i read they patched i took a guide from pripyat to rookie village and guess what the death cave artifact is still stuck at the exact same position

[covert stirrup]

Ehh i have 500 i don't mind

[south parcel]

How many hours

[mighty violet]

500 is like pretty fine

[covert stirrup]

Yeah good for me

[mighty violet]

300 is like the lowest possible

[vernal rampart]

No its not

[mighty violet]

1Gbps is ideal

[eternal mountain]

damn how much that cost

[vernal rampart]

You must be wanting to download trumps ass

[zenith phoenix]

Well a lot of the world isn't ideal.

[covert stirrup]

I wanna get it but at the same time i don't really download all that much. So i am asking myself, is it really worth it?

[zenith phoenix]

I get 140 down on average

[eternal mountain]

i hotspot with my phone and get around 200-300

[mighty violet]

like 20 bucks a month lol

[weary hedge]

This patch is so ass bruh what are they doing

[eternal mountain]

DAMN

[mighty violet]

idk man other people are playing fine idk whats your problem

[eternal mountain]

working on da engin updat

[tepid zinc]

this has been remedied for the most part. PDA doesnt use FSR but instead of a crippling 30fps its now at the fps the game would be running at if it wasnt using fsr. (About 70ish fps for me at the time of writing)

[vernal rampart]

Just checked..300mbps

[lucid charm]

Wires are back :/ wouldn’t they be stripped for copper by now

[mighty violet]

thats like 12 MB/s no wonder

[south parcel]

Give me all your copper

[weary hedge]

My problem is the exact same since before the patch. Artifacts are 50% chance spawning underground and staying there

[vernal rampart]

Ofc

[eternal mountain]

energy company of ukraine came and fixed it real quick

[zenith phoenix]

[eternal mountain]

real men go and scavenge for that gauss

[mighty violet]

Ah yes the problem the devs themselves confirmed they know about is a "me" problem bro go f urself

[south parcel]

Real men don't get their asses kicked by a bunch of ruffians in tracksuits then disband their entire faction

[mighty violet]

respectfully, no
are you just resorting to personally insulting me because you're not taking my or other people's advices and your head is so dense that it rejects all matters including your mother's kiss from when you were born or what?

[sacred cedar]

Hey bro I'm selling a gaus rifle real cheap in dark valley at the pig farm only 800koupons come quick before it's gone 😉

[south parcel]

Nice try

[weary hedge]

Seems like i hit a nerve lmao

[mighty violet]

tbf you insulted me first

[tepid zinc]

Before the update I went on an artifact run across the zone. 3 to 4 anomalies had artifact's stuck in the ground just as I entered into em and it was really crippling n painful. iv even occasionally had artifact's spawn normally, then proceed to clip into the ground. I will try out an artifact run in 1.7.1 to see if this issue persists for me. Hope those artifact's respawn and dont get stuck in the ground for u in the future

[vernal rampart]

Why arent yiu guys playing instead yapping

[weary hedge]

Yes bc u act like a known bug is some kind of "only you" problem and youre literally shilling for devs that cant fix their freaking game 1year after launch

[proven hollow]

for me at least two artifacts which were previously below ground are back up

[sacred cedar]

They should add Uber in the game with next update, you can open your pda and order some food or a ride would be really cool

[tiny merlin]

Take a look at this guy thinking that anyone here plays the game

[subtle dove]

So no fix for npc wallhacking?

[mighty violet]

i can't download the patch because my wifi is down for like a week by now </3

Clear Sky=RIP BOZO PACKWATCH 💯
Monolith=literally non existent until skif

I really wish to but my frustration that each update we get new bugs is just.... ah.

[weary hedge]

Is there any way to force a fixed location artifact to respawn?

if youre willing to mod then install UETools, noclip to get the artifsct and let it naturally respawn

Many brothers and sisters are still fighting in Pripyat before Sirrca, and hostile monolith can spawn in red forest/yannov

Those aren't monoliths, they literally have no connection to ccon/wish granter before Skif goes to wild territory

they need to bring back the radios from clear sky, i miss the freedom radio aswell

Skif is the only reason monolithians are relevant in stalker 2

freedom radio is also a banger

Is Skif just some guy who lost his apartment?

A random guy who lost his apartment who revived the monolith

[primal pollen]

monolith didnt survive for long tho either way, depending on what ending you took

[ancient fractal]

I've been sliming them before I even got to sircaa

[digital igloo]

Honestly. The biggest bit of fridge brilliance in the game was SIRCAA and the Ward.

They got the experience of working for and against oligarchy (and the whole banality of evil) right - hell yes the Ward is nicer to work for and all good on the surface; that's almost always the case with IRL evil.

[weary hedge]

Wait the ward is considered evil??

[ancient fractal]

By terrorists

[mighty violet]

ward is evil, they literally 1984 the world in their ending

[river chasm]

They're comfortable being tools for people who want to control the world

[digital igloo]

Their ultimate goal is literal mind control and world domination.

They're the guys behind the group that became C Consciousness - the goal was always domination over humanity as a whole.

[ancient fractal]

Perfect world*

[mighty violet]

basically argatha is evil but korshunov and dalin is not, however they are just pawns for argatha

I helped the ward until i sided with strelok

Malachite, I suppose.

[weary hedge]

Isnt the monolith the same as the ward tho

[ancient fractal]

Is streloks ending the good ending?

[digital igloo]

Ish. More like their very rabid zombie guard dog.

[mighty violet]

not really they are just brainwashed stalker turned soldier

[proven hollow]

up to you to decide tbh

[ancient fractal]

Does it ruin the world?

[weary hedge]

But like the monolith is just a program of mind control used by the ward isnt it?

[proven hollow]

nah, strelok's ending doesn't ruin the world

[vagrant pewter]

Usually - the good, bad, best, worst endings are up to how you view the experience as you progress & experieince the interactions.

[proven hollow]

no, it's the c-consciousness, not the ward

[mighty violet]

no the monolith is used by original c conciousness

[weary hedge]

And the ward isnt?

[mighty violet]

no the ward is SIRCAA

[digital igloo]

If you ever work for Nestle (or HDFC, or even Chiquita) or their execs (for example), you'll be on the gravy train and be treated nice.

They're all nice, congenial, and absolutely a-ok with committing actual atrocities or even mass murder.

[weary hedge]

So the ward is basically backed by sircaa who is trying to do the same as the c con before?

[mighty violet]

kindaz yeah

[sacred cedar]

No

[digital igloo]

Same backers. Same objective.

They all but spell it out for you with Agatha

[proven hollow]

pretty much, it's all the Group in the end pulling the strings

[weary hedge]

Is there an ending where i can use and outsmart everyone?

[digital igloo]

What dealing with oligarchs feels like IRL.

A very Ukrainian game, I suppose.

[mighty violet]

skifs but you end up making anomalies across the entire world

[weary hedge]

Can you elaborate pls

[proven hollow]

that's entirely dependent on how you perceive the ending tbh

[digital igloo]

Eh. Sometimes you gotta burn a few forests to steal fire from the gods.

[weary hedge]

I want an ending where i survive and am happy

[sacred cedar]

Sure, people have very bad media literacy and make fanfiction in their head to support their claims

[proven hollow]

if you think making sure ward and the group can never get their greedy little hands on the zone is outsmarting them, then strelok is a good ending

[mighty violet]

i say that is a good thing if we can find the use for the energies created by artifacts

[sacred cedar]

Ward ending

[mighty violet]

stop trying to mislead the rookie you ward glazer

[mighty violet]

if you want that then the ward ending but the entire world gets 1984'd

[weary hedge]

No like can u pls tell me why ward and c con arent the same i find it super interesting

[ancient fractal]

Ward isn't a hivemind and you optionally join it

[untold timber]

Ward is for people who's favorite position is missionary

[weary hedge]

Can I still go for the ward ending even if i fled korshunov

[mighty violet]

c conciousness are the people who created the zone back in 2006
sircaa was created after with the goal of "using the zone's energy for the greater good" but deep inside they just wanna control the world

[mighty violet]

no

[mighty violet]

[weary hedge]

Can i kill him atleast?

[sacred cedar]

Because they just aren't, c con is collective AI if you will made up from old scientists. The Ward is a PMC hired by Siirca who are the "evolution" of the ecologicst

[mighty violet]

yes, you get to kill him if you escaped from him

[proven hollow]

the c-consciousness is a combined consciousness of volunteer scientists, they were part of the group, the group split up, some part became clear sky, the other part continued as the Ministry of Defense and Secret Technologies, which eventually created sircaa and the ward

[sturdy bobcat]

"Fixed crashes." - woo!

[weary hedge]

Ok thanks yall i think i get it. Is there an ending where i join no one and done what i want?

[robust spear]

колеги в мене проблема зі сталкером

wrong channel

[digital igloo]

I suppose Kymanov is technically the best ending for the world.

Or Strelok, based on how you view tech and progress.

[weary hedge]

And how do i do that? Is it still possible if i sided with any faction before?

[plain star]

Did yall mfers fixed that bug where controllers could launch objects thru walls?

[digital igloo]

Spark is...something.

And Ward is straight evil.

[sacred cedar]

No it literally says so in the ending of CoP stelok passes on zone info to the government and they created Siirca and stelok became head advisor

[smoky hawk]

there are many inflection points in the story where you can change wagons, they are obvious

[mighty violet]

it is possible if you betray scar, korshunov and strelok

[proven hollow]

i don't remember the exact details, you can look it up though

[mighty violet]

nah

[river chasm]

Only your choices in the third act are final

[smoky hawk]

Spark isnt the evolution of the ecologists, Spark was featured in COP as a squad of STALKERS taht were helping scientists, theh are still stalkers

Ecologists arent Stalkers

[untold timber]

Thought they said they'd fix it no?

[river chasm]

They will. But for now they fixed other things first

[weary hedge]

God i really like the game so much but the artifact underground bug is dampening my fun immensely

[mighty violet]

i get it but like considering the roles spark would probably be closest to ecolog in the original game

[sacred cedar]

It's like you people don't even play the stupid games how are you so bad at understanding a story

[proven hollow]

true, but Spark was re-created essentially by the group

[smoky hawk]

says in 1.7.1 they fixed it

[river chasm]

Good news about the patch today

I have but 2 simple request for Stalker 2.
One can you please reduce the zoom in conversations, I don't need npcs to breath the smell of vodka and sausage on me.
Two please increase the distance between you and the npc that you could start conversation about 2 meters from it. Is much as I like them I like my personal space.
Thank you.

[digital igloo]

And then along came Agatha and the "group".

Welcome to oligarchy and corruption

[weary hedge]

It isnt tho jus tested it. The death cave artifact and some other fixed spawns are still underground

[smoky hawk]

they are just, a squad that specialized with working with the ecologists, you could compare them to a runner that specializes in working with a certain trader

[shell flax]

Artifacts already underground are still screwed

[smoky hawk]

no? At least in S2 ||they are killed by the group and that is what lets Scar infiltrate it do with it what he wants||

[mighty violet]

Different people, different intepretation of the story, stop trying to insult people who have a different view than you

[weary hedge]

Wow so i have to start a new run to get them all? Are you serious

[digital igloo]

They got screwed too.

Damn is the backstory depressing when you learn about it.

[smoky hawk]

it doesnt make artifacts that are already underground reset, only those that are spawning, new ones

[proven hollow]

they are killed by ward, then recreated by scar under instructions of the group

[weary hedge]

Bruh why would they do this? Why cant they make the artifats respawn after some days ingame if not picked up

[digital igloo]

The one ending I really want is one where I can kill the group - all of them.

[smoky hawk]

||I dont think you can say Scar is working for The Group orders when he is pretty pontedly working against them in how he sets up the new Spark||

[mighty violet]

i mean yeah but their involvement in working with malachite could be considered research

[sacred cedar]

It's not about interpretation or anything you just straight up talked out of your ass about something that has been very clearly explained in the games. Spark, Ecologicst and Siirca nothing was left for interpretation it's just you who can't understand it

[smoky hawk]

if you are one of those people that tries to slip everything under work expenses in your taxes, sure

[mighty violet]

I was talking about the roles of the factions not the lore.

[proven hollow]

These are his instructions from the ministry of defense and secret technologies that you find on the PDA on his body:

(Reframe SCR#01M) Instructions:
* Locate an active Alpha Artifact or recruit a person to bring it to SIRCAA and keep them under control.
* An Alpha Artifact is needed in X11 to restore the functionality of the X-Network.
* Use Orbita Station to recruit scientists.
* Assemble a working Visiograph at STC Malachite (X17) using modules found in the Zone.
* Activate the Visiograph.

* Await further instructions.

That is essentially the groups goal

[sacred cedar]

Scar isn't working for the group he is working for c-con which are not the same anymore and have different goals

[mighty violet]

like how they feels when compared to the factions in the original game

[smoky hawk]

The things he does after he does this, are what really show he doesnt work for The Group tho, everybody wants Skif to advance the story by taking the artifact to SIIRCA

[proven hollow]

Hmm, I suppose he does disobey them to put himself in the C-cnsciousness seat

i think in the end he's just an utterly delusional person, buying into the nonsense he has been shown

[feral sigil]

Yo is burers sniping you through walls fixed

[mighty violet]

the consequences of stuffing 2 minds in 1 body

[mighty violet]

nah

[drifting bear]

#📜┃gsc-answers message

[vocal wave]

2 mins after installing 1.7.1 burer took my unique shotgun below the ground. GG

RIP Margach D12. Nice knowing you

[proven hollow]

well, you see, a shotgun is not an artifact and is therefor still eligeble to be eaten by the ground

[vocal wave]

Zone judged him: #📸┃screens_and_videos message

[vocal wave]

but also this is the 4th Burer in the area what is this. Invasion

[covert stirrup]

Btw who is that stalker that saved Strelok at the very beginning of Shadow of Chernobyl. It wasn't Hunter, was he?

[cyan sparrow]

Hotfix on a Hotfix next year…

[vocal wave]

5th Burer in the area nice

[cyan sparrow]

I hope it’s just a one instance

[wind thunder]

I contributed to this patch

[vocal wave]

there is only one shotgun in the game indeed and you need ultimate edition for it... I paid premium for a Burer to take it away

[wind thunder]

Saiga?

[cyan sparrow]

And everything flying through walls, objects, fences

[vocal wave]

unique saiga yes

[cyan sparrow]

Sorry for your loss, any chance revert some previous save file?

[vocal wave]

I can just reload but imagine playing master difficulty and your last save was like 2h ago

[cyan sparrow]

I see, lucky you!

[vocal wave]

I'd be very mad... but now I'm just laughing.

[proven hollow]

such is the way of the zone

[regal sinew]

A stalker named Red or aka Saviour.

[covert stirrup]

Yeah and we never see him again right?

I recall some mentions but not personally

[regal sinew]

IIRC that’s the only time you see him is in that cutscene.

[vernal lily]

Is the screen having an aneurism fixed in this update

[frigid hill]

reytreysingh has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[vernal lily]

You are not allowed to tag everyone. Also why would you do that for just that.

[feral sigil]

So 1.7.2 when ?

[sacred cedar]

Rumored to be in the first dlc, stalkers in newbie village talk about how he's out for a run but will be back soon

[vernal lily]

I had an issue where I had a snork screaming in my ear miles away, even though I had moved away from that area. But that was on release day.

Yes

Can't help you with this, I have no clue

Neither do I have the issue anymore

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1254039371955437570/1280437674766766091/attachment-3.gif

Maybe ask in #❔┃seeking-for-advice instead

[covert stirrup]

Like all the recurring characters in Stalker 2 are done greatly. Strelok is certified badass but a bit paranoid (not surprised), Scar is crazy but friendly and Degtaryev is just plain unit. Great voice actors for all in eng too.

[sacred cedar]

Scar and Stelok are actually really horrible in 2, understandable for scar but they really did stelok dirty with his personality change

[feral sigil]

So those who tested 1.7.1 does it worth it ?

[tiny merlin]

It does worth it

[vernal rampart]

How do i skip time to day from night guys?

[tiny merlin]

Sleep

[vernal rampart]

Im liking it

[vernal rampart]

Where

[tiny merlin]

Bed

[vernal rampart]

Wheres it

[tiny merlin]

in a house

Dont know where you are in game, if in the begininging then Zalyssia is the first place if I`m not mistaken, dont remember if there are beds in Post Office

[neat finch]

PS5 dual sense controller on PC still bugged

[violet dune]

wait for 1.7.2

[subtle dove]

Honestly i found less bugs in the first version of the game, or at least less breaking bugs. But maybe it's my feeling

[vernal rampart]

Says “cant sleep status ailment”

[vernal lily]

Maybe your Skif hasn't eaten in a while

[vernal rampart]

Thanks

Lol guitar is fun

[vernal lily]

Bleeding and having high amounts of radiation can also prevent you from sleeping

[vernal rampart]

Ok

Again n again that chicken leg piece symbol showing

Despite eating

[vernal lily]

Interesting

Does it disappear then reappear immediately?

[vernal rampart]

Yes almost

[jovial herald]

wowee

WHY MY NAME CHANGE, WHO DID THIS

[vernal rampart]

When crouching, is ther a way to disable that vignette?

[weary hedge]

Am a YouTube content creator where can I post my videos that are related to stalker ?

[sacred cedar]

#🤨┃stalker_memes

[pulsar widget]

how much it takes to fix artifacts droppin underground and bringin back power cables? like 2 weeks... srsly, is one person only working on those patches u celebreting so much? xD

[vernal lily]

You need a content creators role to post your own youtube videos

[sacred cedar]

The one intern is doing his best ok

[weary hedge]

How

[violet dune]

Yes, broski. they could just clicked 1 button "Fix Artifacts" and 1 checkbox "Add back cables"... imagine 2 buttons took 2 weeks... insane

[vernal lily]

#📺┃media message

[cursive knot]

Bruh even after the update game crashes when tryna use any mods

[pulsar widget]

yea, it should take month xDDDD

[stark crescent]

Dude. Its not gsc's fault that the bandits in the zone are stealing all the copper wires

[regal sinew]

What cables were removed then re-added? Is it the cables attached to the blimp above Zalyssia?

[violet dune]

i cant believe, its just 2 buttons. it takes like 10s to do it... damn and it took them 2 weeks XDDDDD imagine? XDD

[pulsar widget]

fix 2 things, mess up 20, just a regular GSC fixing progress xDDD

[stark crescent]

Electricity masts

[cursive knot]

Power cables

[regal sinew]

Ah ok. Ty.

[vernal lily]

https://tenor.com/view/broom-broom-horse-horse-broom-horse-the-movie-the-horse-movie-gif-21532663

[stark crescent]

They were also busy with other fixes. Not just artifacts and the power lines

[pulsar widget]

thats real

[violet dune]

BRO its JUST 2 BUTTONS XD u dont get it, it takes like 1min to fix everything

[regal sinew]

Shame they didn’t get the poltergeists and Burers sorted out, makes fighting then a lot more.. interesting with their new ability to fire shit through walls and seech.

[stark crescent]

Then apply to gsc and show them how its done. If its fixed as quickly as you say it is, it will only benefit the game. Just fix stuff. Takes only 2 mins. Ez.

[violet dune]

yessss, its like 1 min xDD

[stark crescent]

I bet you will roll out a dlc every other week. Just add stuff. Ez.

[cyan sparrow]

Yes!

Where is list of the new current bugs XDDD

I seen Brururuer almost taken someones ultimate edition gun underground

[pulsar widget]

5 min with ChatGPT, am i hired?

[vernal lily]

Damb, that bug still there

[violet dune]

pffff every 2 days new DLC xDD

[stark crescent]

Go for it. Use AI to fix the game. Code written in nano seconds.

[violet dune]

😄

i cant anymore

[regal sinew]

I’m assuming so, haven’t tried the new patch yet until a bit later tonight but I seen no mention of a fix to them and I think I seen in GSC answers channel that will probably be in the next patch.

[pulsar widget]

in game like stalker 2? no fkin problem, easy af

[stark crescent]

Gsc just lazy and stoopid.

[cosmic fossil]

hey guys, i finally got my new PC

[cursive knot]

[pulsar widget]

yes, thats true

[cyan sparrow]

@dreamy dagger Where are you!? Missing all the party of the hotfix on a hotix xDDD

[violet dune]

hottits

[vernal lily]

Someone from the ccon server mentioned the bug is still there, so I am assuming it isn't fixed yet.

[stark crescent]

Spec list. Show us. Show us now.

[pulsar widget]

cmon, dont lose hope, they promised us Engine Update and New Missions, still in this year, GSC never breaks their word, right?

[cyan sparrow]

FLex to the end

[stark crescent]

Engine update was not a this year promise

[pulsar widget]

like they didnt 20 times when changing release date just to release garbage junk xD

[regal sinew]

Must be a finicky fix if they couldn’t solve it within this patch tbh. Weird how things can end up like this while fixing other things it breaks something else lol.

[cyan sparrow]

[pulsar widget]

yes it was

[vernal lily]

I just hope the artifacts going under the ground is actually fixed, because I planned on making this new playthrough trying to collect all of them.

[hallow shadow]

Yeah it was.
They said “Q4 2025”

Just like the mods for Witcher 3.

[sacred cedar]

Zelensky told them not to fix burers because it's hilarious how people complain about it, he's such a troll

[cyan sparrow]

someone must work little

[violet dune]

me, trolling?? never

[regal sinew]

They’ve literally just dropped a patch today, I think if they didn’t care anymore we wouldn’t be getting patches and updates. It’s a shame not everything could be fixed within 1 patch but that’s wishful thinking.

[pulsar widget]

engine update is indeed 5 min work, bringing back cables and artfifacts from ground is indeed 5 min, but how could u know that if u spend whole life in the zone lol

[violet dune]

i would not even say its a ragebait or trolling. its too obvious

[vernal lily]

Just an average day on Stalker official discord, after every update.

[sacred cedar]

Everyone sure is stupid except me

[violet dune]

yes, connect cables to generators and engine will update itself

Oh wow someone popping in to say the game is unfinished, how original. A fresh perspective.

Oof might wanna censor that next time
