and also, a g36 variant can be used by civilians mainly semi auto, and the techs here literally can change your firing mode, literal gun parts and all that , so can a hk416 exist. also i believe the devs added the hk cause they couldnt use the lr300 or smth

[spare canopy]

yeah, in some ways

[sacred cedar]

Can't wait for the DLC to canonize the Ward ending

[oblique jacinth]

isnt the lr300 a rust thing

Agatha defo high tier mommy

[oblique jacinth]

i like birch

[boreal phoenix]

My Xbox showing no update for stalker 2?

[oblique jacinth]

but game definitely needs female stalkers

[charred nova]

I don’t like birch because she looks like a high schooler

[cobalt fiber]

Females couldn’t handle the zone

[charred nova]

[main jewel]

in previous games it was easier just to only put males in the game cause of yknow limitations, and they added these current ones probably to test how the community would react to these couple

[cobalt fiber]

That’s a joke don’t go CRAZY

[vernal lily]

Agatha don't want any competition

[neon egret]

Hey peeps, what's the pda message that you're supposed to get to start the stories untold questline?

[sacred cedar]

I seriously hope they don't add female stalkers because I'm afraid what the degenerate modding community will do if they do

[neon egret]

is it the "CQ, CQ" one?

[charred nova]

Do you think Agatha can take me to agartha

Freedom ain't gay enough, they're just too attached to bloodsuckers.

[sacred cedar]

There is nothing Freedom wouldn't do for Koupons

They are sell outs of the highest order

[uneven pecan]

Anyone else think it’s kinda weird they basically sidelined Duty and Freedom in this game in favor of the newer factions like Spark and Ward?

[main jewel]

WAIT I GOT A CRAZY QUESTION

[proven hollow]

it was pretty much cut from the game, will hopefull return in some form

[sacred cedar]

Its not that wierd when you know they planned to have a long story line of skif siding with one faction and breaking the treaty

It is speculated to be one of the major DLCs

[uneven pecan]

That would be awesome

[proven hollow]

but yeah duty and freedom are feeling real underbaked rn

yknow how you see the monolith symbol on the wall sometimes, while doing the 1.8 mission in the mines, you can see the renegade symbol.. ARE THE RENEGADES COMING BACK

I mean it kinda makes Freedom’s takeover of Rostok rather pointless to be honest.

[sacred cedar]

They didnt really took it over more like they got it handed to them in the treaty as part of the deal

[main jewel]

this is clearly the renegade symbol bro

[gloomy dock]

Did this update fix console mods??

[main jewel]

like most faction symbols on walls

[proven hollow]

it really shows when the monolith comes back and the truce between ward and the other factions is supposedly broken but.... nothing really happens

[uneven pecan]

I get that but considering they don’t really play any significant role in the game is just doesn’t really add anything to the experience.

[weary hedge]

[sacred cedar]

Have you played CS? Renegades have a small base in that abondoned mineshaft not far from limansk

[main jewel]

well yea but i didnt think they would at all show up in stalker 2 or even as a reference

like i thought they we’re forgotten about

[sacred cedar]

I mean its safe to say they put their logo on there and the place has been abondened ever since

[main jewel]

but like bandit guys in tunnel in 1.8, that symbol being there, i dunno man these guys could possibly be renegade people

[zenith cradle]

what is the content on medulin's stash?

[sacred cedar]

I dont remember anything about Renegades being cut, and frankly they were such a forgateblle faction i doubt they gonna make a come back

We can put Freedom there and give back Rostock to Duty

And then we nuke the Swamps

From orbit. Only way to be sure.

Or we could get update when we can join to all factions 😄

eeh, so monolith light

[sand pond]

Oh no

I've lost my master difficulty, as I've decided to check if I can reload previous save to keep it.
Now it's "Veteran+"

And I still can't get down to Stalker or Rookie to check how it affects prices.

Is it true you can turn on manual saves with master difficulty in the new patch?

[proven hollow]

at least we have a brain unlike you ward room temperature IQ thugs!

[sand pond]

Yes

It will downgrade your "Master" to "Veteran+" as I've just accidentally done.

[uneven pecan]

Oh you gotta kidding me

Anyone knows what sell price for basic RGD-5 grenade is?

I've had 55 coupons.
After finishing SIRCAA, it went up to 57 coupons.

How much is it on lower difficulties?
Also, basic 9x18 ammo still costs 0 coupons which is just insulting.

[sacred cedar]

Im not typing that out again

[sand pond]

Yep, pretty much.

[proven hollow]

just go and wait until Korshunov throws you into jail for finding out you're helping them mind control stalkers

[eternal cosmos]

what do you mean by that?

[sand pond]

And it doesn't do that much, as you're still able to do manual savings by quitting to menu.
It's less convenient, and doesn't allow to have multiple saves in case of save-breaking bugs, but... still works.

[sacred cedar]

Sweet i love me some vacation time

[proven hollow]

you will be executed shortly after

[last saddle]

How's the patch?

Yeah that’s what I was doing. It’s just so annoying to have to do that every time I want to save. 😐

I've donwloaded the mod that returns both saves and compass to Master mode

I want to try harsher economy and combat, but lack of savings and searching all over the place for unlooted corpses is more TEDIOUS than DIFFICULT.

My time has value, and I want to spend it well.

[vernal lily]

For a sec I thought you said hamster economy

[eternal cosmos]

And you are free to do that

What we really need is custom difficulty settings to adjust all parameters.

I cant reach it, door is locked

[vocal wave]

I have no idea what generator you talking about send screenshot

its that kid camp thingy in burned forest

I figured it out, you gotta shoot the lock thru the window, but its so dark, impossible to see without a good scope

Umm... guys?
Anyone remembers basic grenade sell price outside of master?

[iron wind]

the vanilla one is too weak

[uneven pecan]

fair

[pseudo mural]

I heard that artifacts respawn after 3 days or an emission happening is that correct? Cause i kind of wanna grab some best artifacts but only one so far without any savescumming i got was the hypercube

[vocal wave]

yeah some after emission

[pseudo mural]

Only some?

[vocal wave]

I mean some respawn after some time, some after emission

[sacred cedar]

What do you mean by that

[sand pond]

Actually I remember someone mentioning that it's 18% out of base price.

Which makes it 400x18% = 72 coupons.

And with 55 to 57 coupons, that would be 13,75% and 14,25% before and after SIRCAA respectively.

[pseudo mural]

I see

[main jewel]

nv

[sand pond]

I mean I want to know how much harder selling prices are on Master difficulty.
With a comparison of a selling price for RGD-5 grenade I have 1026 of in my stash.

[vocal wave]

in some static spawn locations they won't respawn but you can farm them in most anomalies anyway

[main jewel]

nightvision

[iron wind]

dont have

this char I am playing barely reached garbage questline

[sand pond]

Basic 9x18 ammo has 6 cp base price.
And doing math I get 0.85 cp per unit.

While normally it has (18% of base price) 1.08 cp sell price.
And since I am getting 0 cp trying to sell it, that means it's rounded down.

[main jewel]

in yantar you can go to a stash at the dam with the best nv’s in the game

[weary hedge]

Hi guys where/how do i start the new missions?

[iron wind]

go north of rostok

[hard wave]

I’m upto the mission Extreme Simplicity but there’s still plenty of areas on the map I haven’t been to. Like below, left and all the way up of Chemical Plant on the map.

Should I go there now?

[rustic flame]

Anyone else got an infinite amount of bloodsuckers spawning or just me😭

Thx my man

[fiery yew]

The locked gate in the mines with Pickaxe that’s got a blue stash, a gun and an RPG round on the shelf, are we not supposed to be able to open that? I’ve tried several save reloads and no one drops a key.

[iron wind]

u are supposed to turn on the lights on, go back to the boss shack, press the button there, go back and turn off lights

[fiery yew]

Oh so there’s a button by pickaxe?

[iron wind]

there is a button on the left side by the window

only works if u turn on the lights on the other side of the cave

[fiery yew]

Cool thank you

[weary hedge]

Where to exactly i am north of rostock but theres nothing i havent already discovered

[sand pond]

Sure, why not

I mean, it's not the last quest and you will have opportunities to explore that in the future.

The only 2 locations that are out of main quest visits would be Cooling Towers and Cement Factory, both north-east to Garbage.

[iron wind]

u just go up until forest and you will get the transmission

[weary hedge]

Thx g

[iron wind]

then go into the cave where u have anomalies down below

[oblique jacinth]

what is with this game and its random loss of fps for several seconds for no reason, and why does it only happen when i have high greaphics settings. 99% of the time i get a stable 60 but then it randomly drops to like 10 frames per second for no reason

[sand pond]

Game loads something, I suppose

[iron wind]

inside the mine just go straight thru bandits and on the right side there will be a jail with a stalker

[oblique jacinth]

it just happens anywhere though

[rancid kiln]

For the new dlc.... The witcher 3 DLC (Not expansions) are around what 2-3 hours each? Depending

So 5 for this is solid

[sacred cedar]

Config says that Sell Condition is 1.65 and buy condition 0.4

[feral sigil]

So apparently no fixes in this update damn

[rancid kiln]

They fixed a tiny amount

[iron wind]

small fixes, but finally new content geez, I think this was cut before the release tho

[feral sigil]

I am not ungrateful i have said multiple times i LOVE gsc and i will support them lifelong but man it takes so long for a fix to some annoying bugs

[last saddle]

are we needing to start a new game for this patch or can we just continue

[rancid kiln]

Such is games, such is unreal engine, such is a game company in a country at war xD

[iron wind]

continue

I am afraid to load my 1.0 save tho

[sand pond]

Interesting
Alright

[weary hedge]

I think I’m gonna rock the combatant this run. I always stuff it away in my stash

And the new GP ofc

[tranquil mantle]

Man my new playthrough is cursed so far, 2nd side quest that isn't working

[sand pond]

Combatant served me well even on Yaniv and Red Forest.

Good gun, reliable, cheap to maintain.

[iron wind]

sorry to hear

I only ran into one weird bug where Zalyssia was unhappy with me killing the Monolith dude, but turned green anyway

[sick arch]

Has there been any comments on possible changes to the boss fights in 2? Love the combat in the game except for those lol

I get the skill issue thing. And obviously the cutscenes make up for it. Just meh

[iron wind]

I think they were easy?

[tranquil mantle]

That quest was also bugged for me, now I'm doing the little side quest where you're supposed to get the guys body from an anomaly but I can't actually accept the quest or move the body

[sick arch]

I might’ve not let the game marinate long enough. Most of my early ones were bugged several times.

Feels like the whole stalker shtick doesn’t flow well into a boss fight

[iron wind]

I completed on ver 1.1

[sick arch]

Wait pc?

[iron wind]

no issues that I remember

[last saddle]

so did i

it wasnt smooth by any means but it wasnt broken like a lot of ppl say

[iron wind]

yea Faust fight used to tank fps

[last saddle]

well thats cause there were way too many bodies lol

i def lagged out at the end of that one

[harsh jungle]

honse

[river chasm]

Bro I went to wild island and there's like 50 monolith here 😭

[sick arch]

The array attack mission was a buggy one. not saying they were unplayable. Just not fun at all compared to the rest of the games combat.

Why do I have stalker emote by my name…

[harsh jungle]

bc by chatting, you gain levels

[primal nimbus]

KING OF GUAM? DAWG 😭💀

[main jewel]

so far all this new content is a wild goose chase around the west side of the zone

[primal nimbus]

Featuring Mercs

[harsh jungle]

i cant play it till next week, is it gucci

[primal nimbus]

Idk

[harsh jungle]

me neither thats why im asking

[river chasm]

#📸┃screens_and_videos message

[main jewel]

why are the mercs not attackinh the bandits bro 💔

[primal nimbus]

I want this to change

[primal nimbus]

👀

[river chasm]

A couple of them had gauss rifles so lucky me 😂

For real though this has to be a bug

[main jewel]

true like why do mercs only attack me bro

why cant I HIRE them

[primal nimbus]

💸💸💸

[primal nimbus]

Should be a feature. Hiring mercs

[tidal robin]

I remember that the bandits and mercs were allies in the wild territory in earlier games so that may be why

[weary hedge]

Mercs only attack those they must or pose a threat, bandits attack whoever they want

[harsh jungle]

mercs dont like skif

[uneven pecan]

I loved when the mercs attacked me in the Duty base and the Duty soldier just stood around picking their noses 😭

[primal nimbus]

That doesn’t excuse them from not attacking Mercs then

[oak sluice]

A freind just told me that Pomor movment and speech sounds and looks rlly slow because he lives next to the poppy field. So many cool details in this game man

[weary hedge]

But mercs are just well compensated bandits 🤣

[primal nimbus]

Except that one group at the Wish Granter. They chill asf

[river chasm]

Honestly the most impressive thing in that fight was the game did not lag at all

[main jewel]

YO THE MEMORY CARD WITH COUPONS IS FIRE

[weary hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/facts-straight-up-gif-21244543

[main jewel]

bro

[primal nimbus]

Willing to negotiate, willing to let the player choose

[main jewel]

bandits are the threats, guarantee you a bandit will backstab a merc

[celest talon]

just finished new DLC
i like it. Awesome story

[weary hedge]

Stalker 2 needs more of this

[primal nimbus]

Same can be said with Mercs. 20 coupons is 20 coupons

[weary hedge]

It can go both ways tbh

[oak sluice]

I think i remember saving this random merc one time and fully expecting him to unload a mag into me. He was rlly chil tho.

[velvet mulch]

does stalker 2 have dlss 4 in it?

[primal nimbus]

YO WHAT

[weary hedge]

I’m sure most mercs only see bandit as scum and vise versa

CoP portrays this pretty well

[primal nimbus]

A reality they won’t accept is that they’re both the same but diff

[oak sluice]

Meh might as well call every stalker in the zone the same

Sure theres exceptions

[weary hedge]

Well most loners are lol

Get artifact, get rich

[oak sluice]

Loners are the absolute goats of stalker. Best faction

[primal nimbus]

I’m in for an adventure brought forth from a contract

[sand pond]

Remind me, why doesn't Strelok get his brains fried by the screens, while being in the same room as Skif and Dark, despite being a C-Con agent?

[shell flax]

Because the programming failed

[harsh jungle]

he has too much rizz or whatever

[primal nimbus]

*aura

[oak sluice]

Didnt he say once ur affected by the screens ur immune to them or smth?

[weary hedge]

The hairline protects him from all threats

[shell flax]

Auta

[oak sluice]

Yeah stinky nasty aura

[harsh jungle]

same thing

[primal nimbus]

You’re right

[sand pond]

He said once you're affected by them, second exposure fries your brain

[shell flax]

Except Skif

[oak sluice]

Huh.. maybe I shouldn't have played this game 10 hours a day and I could've understood something out of it

[weary hedge]

Skif is damn near bald so he’s immortal

[sand pond]

Should have brought actual guns and armor rather than SEVA with no helm and rusty AK-74u against Skif

[sand pond]

Which is sad considering Skif is only 25 years old

[weary hedge]

Military will do that

[remote elbow]

Did the update for anyone else make them redownload the entire game? Update is 118gb for me (on steam btw) and the game for some reason got uninstalled

[vernal lily]

Steam is just like that sometimes

[sand pond]

Nope
I've only got 11gb download

[vernal lily]

wait, uninstalled lmao

[remote elbow]

I had the 15gb update at first and then it just died and said no space and then retry'd and now saying 118gb and the games size on my pc is now 25gb.. very weird

[vernal lily]

Maybe the no disk space was the issue

[primal nimbus]

As a 23 yr old military member, this is true

[remote elbow]

Had like 60gb free, think it might just have corrupted

[vernal lily]

Sometimes games want a bit extra space so the game itself will run smoothly

[primal nimbus]

Might become the next Skif

[sand pond]

Mercs still give em dirty jobs tho

[sand pond]

See a track suit or a black coat - shoot first, ask questions later

[terse warren]

For The Monolith.

My gun refuses to fire or reload :(

I have 300 rounds and it even reflects that in the weapon Wheel :')

Guess I just forgor how to reload

[weary hedge]

Yo what am i suppose to find on the summerstage??

[terse warren]

The Bayuns

Climb up the back of the stage

[golden gulch]

I'm pretty sure it's an X project protective suit?
Similar to the X7 suit?

[weary hedge]

They are already dead i cleared the place long before the update

[terse warren]

Oh well then that was what you were supposed to find I think

[weary hedge]

But the objective is telling me to go there

[terse warren]

It's optional

[weary hedge]

I see thx

[terse warren]

Loll np

I actually just finished that quest chain

And now my brand new gun refuses to work :(

[golden gulch]

Good?

[terse warren]

It's good yes imo

I had fun with it and do definitely recommend playing it

[feral sigil]

Love mad max 1 and 2

Actually 2 has the best car chase scene in the history of cinema

[terse warren]

Real

[feral sigil]

Everything after 3 trash

[weary hedge]

Why is it bugged?

[terse warren]

It may be an outdated mod that I overlooked tbh

[spare canopy]

So running on the spot, and the stamina bar freezing is a skill issue?

Shut up you absolute melt.

[weary hedge]

No the best car chase scenes are "the duell" and "bullit"

[terse warren]

Imma try uninstalling something rq brb

[weary hedge]

Gl

[feral sigil]

How old are you bro

Never saw those films

I doubt your statement is true tho

[terse warren]

Loading in now

[feral sigil]

Evening bro

[terse warren]

Yay! It works! :)

[spare canopy]

Goodus evening

how art thou today?

[terse warren]

My new and improved GP37V2 is now a functioning weapon

[feral sigil]

Everything gucci bro thanks for asking

[spare canopy]

Gucci, is a slang term from where I am for pussy 😄

[terse warren]

Anyway bye now gonna go play with my new toy :>

[terse warren]

Careful don't wanna be Wolf'd

[spare canopy]

Meh....

[terse warren]

:3

[sand pond]

Hmm

(Looks at screenshots of both Strelok, SEVA and X7 suit)
(Realizes they are made in a very similar way, but with a very few minor differences)
(And Strelok's outfit details more like the X7 suit)

Shit, you're right...
Okay...

Guess I am just very used to his old model, where there was no X7 suit or anything like that, and his model actually uses SEVA with no helmet...

[feral sigil]

Any news for mods on ps5 anyone

[spare canopy]

update realeased today

[terse warren]

PlayStation is stupid there's your news

[spare canopy]

and my game is still broken, and I am still running on teh spot, and my stamina bar freezes, and I dont use stam and running mods

[terse warren]

Idk /shrug

[spare canopy]

And I am shooting phantom bullets... and still after a year, the NPC's have fecking xray vision

[terse warren]

This is indeed a problem that I experience as well

Not the running in place bit though never seen that one

[spare canopy]

but according to somne melts, its a skill issue

[terse warren]

Yeah they share a brain with a seahorse don't listen to them

[spare canopy]

Seahorse are cool... slugs... definitely sharing with slugs

[feral sigil]

Buy me a PC then lmfao

[terse warren]

I use XB/PS

So like... no. :/

[spare canopy]

I use the art of make believe and S2 on my machine actually functions 🤣

[feral sigil]

You say i am stupid for using a ps5 but you use it too? Bruh

[terse warren]

I said PlayStation was stupid not you but clearly that wasn't too far off the mark

PlayStation as is Sony the ppl who make the TOS

[feral sigil]

I see

[terse warren]

Lol

[uneven pecan]

You guys hear Nvidia is cutting production of GPUs?

[main jewel]

WE ARE ALL ADDING THE PLASTIC BAG INVENTORY AND SIDOR HANDGUN MOD RIGHT

[agile geode]

How do you fix the inventory glitch where it just goes to the left or right

[ebon blade]

Did the update scheduled for tomorrow, happen today?

[main jewel]

yes

[vernal lily]

I think I am glad, because I am not home most of the day tomorrow

[ebon blade]

Wow. Thanks. I'm at work so Discord on the phone sucks compared to being at home on my PC.

[main jewel]

okar

[warm nymph]

are they having problems with the new update no mods and game keeps crashing ?

[naive field]

hows the new weapon

[dry siren]

I feel the insatiable urge to open a speakeasy in my basement

[copper pasture]

meep

sigh

[terse warren]

No

[spare canopy]

start new game? want to skip intro... no feck off... to easy to make this game so fecking annoying for no reason

[vocal wave]

so the GP37v2 is very efficient to shoot, it's very cheap to repair

it's my sniper now

[spare canopy]

I would love a metro open world game, so I can go play that, and not have to deal with the endless bs this game deals me

[weary hedge]

Can i get into chemical plant ward hq if i am "shoot on sight" with the faction? I just got a marker for a stash inside the bass

[neon egret]

heeey deathrogger got his name back

[spare canopy]

I got my my true name back

how are you?

was my advise any good for you yesterday?

[neon egret]

Whelmed
y'all tried the new questline?
You mean for Duga? Yep, helped a ton. I didn't get shot in the face

[spare canopy]

Awesome news, getting shot in the face, is a bit of an issue

[neon egret]

I've explored most of the zone, only got some areas in red forest and yaniv left to explore
New story quest seems stuck for me though, guy won't open the door even though all mutants are dead outside :/

[spare canopy]

well the update dropped today, so you got new stuff to explore

[neon egret]

yeah, if they'd open the darn doors 😂

[median nymph]

did they fix the burer and poltergeist ignoring geometry?

[spare canopy]

nope

[median nymph]

damn, so I still can't play

[spare canopy]

I cant run, phantom shots, the game is broken... developed by coyboys... Want top dollar, cant fix bugs and xray vision NPC's

[weary hedge]

Yes because u dont have 3m arms

[iron wind]

did two quests, its nice

the left side of the map needed more quests, but I think this content is like a cut content being added back

[neat wing]

Anyone play stalker 2 on Xbox and there game won’t load because mods are broken after 1.7 and now 1.8

Any fix for this you people know because I doubt gsc is gonna fix this there lazy

[marble gyro]

You could delete your mods

Save file and restart the game with fresh mods?

So that way it refreshes any cache readers so it doesn't mess with your game

[hard wave]

Just got to sircca this place is cool I wanna side with these guys

[neat wing]

Yh if you do that the game will not load because it requires your old mods

[marble gyro]

That's why I said delete your old save file and start a new one with mods, so your game does not corrupt

[neat wing]

Are you dumb I have over 200 hours in this game I’m not deleting my save

That’s not a fix

Would you do that I don’t think so

[marble gyro]

I have 400hrs on pc, restarted multiple times, you can get the stuff back, plus you try stuff differently

It's not that deep

I did it with the original stalker games and I do it here

[neat wing]

Well if that’s what you want to do fine but I don’t just go delete my files if they don’t work I would rather wait a few months till the devs fix this than restart my entire save

[sharp stream]

What’s the rascal stash code?

[marble gyro]

Hell if it works for cyberpunk it works here

[iron wind]

then wait for mods to update

care with spoilers tho

[neat wing]

I would never delete over 100 hours plus or any save that is dumb

[marble gyro]

Laughs in 2000hr save on skyrim

You just play it again

[neat wing]

It’s not mods that are the problem it’s the game updates breaking the existing mods because the company does not know how to update the game properly without breaking stuff it’s the safe for Bethesda and any other company they are useless at not breaking the game more with each update

[iron wind]

bro they can't just stop updating you know

[neat wing]

Personally I like to have multiple saves but my original save I like to keep thanks because it’s the first one it’s special but Yh go ahead delete all that if you want because not everyone has hours to keep playing the same crap

[marble gyro]

Mods not made by company, but blame company anyways for corrupting your mods because mod creators dont update your mods because you snap your fingers....make it make sense man

[iron wind]

when you install the mods you like accept that, so its on you

[neat wing]

That’s not what I said they need to be careful what they do when they update because it’s pathetic and embarrassing that this happens

[marsh iron]

mods are always play at your own risk; devs have literally warn you since the beginning it's not their responsibility to babysit your own actions

[iron wind]

sorry to break it to you, but they dun care

[weary hedge]

Don’t update ur game. Simple as that

[shell flax]

We need to blow up the swamps

Repeatedly

[weary hedge]

Update once mods have been catered to said version

[marble gyro]

Plus mods on console....are kinda....eh tbh, very sketchy

[neat wing]

I know that’s my point companies are unless and don’t give a crap if a game is broken

[neat wing]

They worked fine but 1.7 broke them

[marble gyro]

What mods do you have?

[chilly forum]

Is anyone countering multiple burers

[neat wing]

Plus when the game has dumb mechanics like not being able to sell broken weapons and there stamina sucks and I can go on about how many dumb mechanics exist in stalker I like the game but I personally need mods to make the game more enjoyable

[shell flax]

Point to me where exactly mods (not made by the company) breaking your game after you chose to install them, is GSC’s problem

[weary hedge]

Yeah, I fought one as soon as I entered garbage for the first time lmao. A bayun and bloodsucker accompanied it aswell 🤣

[marble gyro]

Yeah, it's a current mutan spawn problem, but don't shoot the lil bros, they are harmless 🥺

[shell flax]

Blow that little bastards head smoove off

[marble gyro]

Would you buy a broken weapon?? Because I wouldn't

[neat wing]

I don’t mind getting rid of them but I can’t actually play the game now because it’s so broken like I delete them and the game still crashes none of my saves work so Yh this game like so many others is unplayable for me so thanks gsc well done

[neat wing]

No but why let us carry them all around then

[marble gyro]

Probably max for a broken weapon 50 coupons

[chilly forum]

I just killed seven of them and now I'm being chased by one

[shell flax]

Still not GSC’s problem

[marble gyro]

Temporary use LMAO! or you upgrade to your preferences!! This is not fallout man

[neat wing]

Yes it realy is because they broke the game not my problem is it all I did was play it

[marble gyro]

Oof, hopefully no bloodsuckers spawn

[ebon blade]

The Mods ARE the problem. It's not the responsibility of GSC to fix their game and add content, while at the same time trying to do the impossible task of accommodating hundreds of Mods.

Mods are made by many different people, with many Mods being duplicates and/or conflicting with other Mods, all made by people at various skill levels.

As a responsible adult owner of any game receiving updates and new content, you should ALWAYS REMOVE ALL YOUR MODS before updating. If your game breaks or crashes, it is 100% YOUR FAULT!!!

[shell flax]

Tejas is about to pull out the Ram-2 IRL at this rate

[neat wing]

Right fine but if I can’t load my game after deleting the mods then that’s gsc problem

[shell flax]

No the hell it isn’t

[neat wing]

Because I can’t play it

[marble gyro]

@neat wing I only carry a broken weapon on master difficulty, because I have a caliber that I can use for it when I run out of my other ammo for my other guns

[shell flax]

That save is modded, thus it is no longer GSC’s problem

[naive field]

sounds more like your problem

[ebon blade]

GSC is not responsible for your stupidity.

[shell flax]

This is some Deathguard logic

[cinder socket]

I have good gun if anyone wants it

[weary hedge]

Buddy that is completely the mods fault

[neat wing]

No I said I took all the mods off uninstalled the game the save should convert to unmodded now

[marble gyro]

No

[shell flax]

That’s not how mods work chief

[marble gyro]

You delete the save

[shell flax]

They aren’t DLC that just removes itself afterwards

[neat wing]

Not doing that your a idiot if you think I’m losing all that

[neat wing]

No but the game should still load back up

[weary hedge]

If it messes with or adds new files to the game it is going to create some contradictions after being removed.

[marble gyro]

Because it's modded and not compatible, your achievements are already disabled for that save, it's like me trying to load fallout 4 modded save when no mods are present and the game does not load because the SAVE IS MODDED

[shell flax]

You’ve permanently altered that save

For gods sakes most mod makers warn you removing mods mid save will kill your save

[marble gyro]

MAKE IT MAKE SENSE MAN

[shell flax]

GSC THEMSELVES WARN YOU UPDATES MIGHT BREAK MODS

[violet dune]

1.8 crashed my game with 1.5 game version mods... wtf GSC

[neat wing]

No actually fallout or Skyrim never does that you can mod and then take all of them off game still loads

[marble gyro]

Bull pure bull

[shell flax]

Actually bullcrap

[marble gyro]

Try doing that right now, you get a message saying the game will not load because supported mods are not present

It's common sense

[weary hedge]

Not always the case. You can get away with removing some mods on stalker 2 and still play

[neat wing]

So you lot think it’s fine for this to happen ok mods break as updates happen but why unlike all other games has gsc not added a backup feature for issues like this

[ebon blade]

I am now a Saiga Drum man.

[neat wing]

Because why allow mods if they know they will just break

[violet dune]

Stalker 2 rating: Mature 17+

People in chat acting like 15 yo

🤔

[weary hedge]

Because having access to mods is a luxury

[shell flax]

Just because you’re over 17 doesn’t mean you’re mature as exemplified here

[neat wing]

A Luxury that’s not actually worth it if it corrupts your game

[weary hedge]

Which is why you don’t update your game until the mod authors update their mods.

That way you can still enjoy them

[neat wing]

All I had was ones for carry weight and like a better flashlight those should not break your game

Because all they do is alter game files not add anything

[violet dune]

TELL EM!

[marble gyro]

Over and under for me

[violet dune]

I want popcorn stalker 2 emote

[marble gyro]

I freaking love that rifle double barrel shotgun

[violet dune]

YES

[marble gyro]

It kills me when facing bloodsuckers, but man it's satisfying

[shell flax]

honestly this is just giving me a good laugh and free server xp at this point

Nearly level 36

[violet dune]

somehow we need to farm it till master

[neat wing]

Well thanks for the help I guess people I’m not deleting anything just gonna wait till mods get updated and play this game again like a month or 2 not actually that bothered I beat the story and did all side content just enjoyed exploring the zone and killing shit and looting but Yh it’s not a massive issue

[shell flax]

I got one: Oi Tejas thoughts on this conversation

[pale depot]

Glad you figured it out buddy.

[violet dune]

GSC should put red huge alert banner before any update

[weary hedge]

Take it easy. Things take time and effort

[neat wing]

Is the new update any good content wise

[marble gyro]

You read and accepted the terms and services agreement

[ebon blade]

Why allow you to get a driver's license if you're just going to crash?

[neat wing]

No one reads them on anything but Yh we accept them

[marble gyro]

Thats a you problem

[neat wing]

Are you reading all that

[violet dune]

yes, with my lawyer

[neat wing]

No i did not think so

[marble gyro]

Don't act smart on a slow timer man, yes I read like 4 paragraphs that were important on understanding an type of modification can cause problems, and or corrupt files, agreement to not posting content on other sites that sort of thing

[violet dune]

you dont need to read anything to understand this... common sense...

[marble gyro]

After that it's all the same with every other TOS you agree to

[marble gyro]

In a group screws those enemies

[violet dune]

official patches sometimes breaks game, they think random ass mods wont break game

with all due respect mods, doing amazing job, i love ya

[neat wing]

lol ok your like one in 10 then be proud it’s all common sense I just thought if I was using mods that worked yesterday and said they were updated for the latest update then it should be no problem but guess the mod authors don’t know how to update some also

[marble gyro]

Mods that are altering script, yes that causes complications

[neat wing]

They do yes I know that but tbf thought it was only the ones that changed gameplay and the mods I used did not

[marble gyro]

It alters your carry weight

[neat wing]

Right which on pc you can do for free with console commands how can that break the game

It’s a tiny change

[violet dune]

if you have light mods (paks) in -mods folder and didnt changed manually anything. you should just delete folder and game should work. i have been modding stalker 2 day1 and never had issues

[neat wing]

Or for example increasing a flashlight brightness is that a big deal no

[marble gyro]

That's a major thing to where it messes with Weight coding in general and every item has a weight value, therefore when gsc adds new items it adds more weight to that existing coding to where it can corrupt your existing altering weight save file, does that make sense?

[neat wing]

Right yes so getting rid of that should reset it no

[marble gyro]

It ovverrites an existing coding, to where it screws up original coding to add new ones that your mods also need to update to

So it's not the devs problem, it's the mods themselves because need to update to meet that specific coding requirements

[neat wing]

Ok but on Skyrim if I did that then uninstalled it guess when my save still works

And Skyrim has way more items than stalker

I’m not bothered about the mods anymore just want to play my game

[marble gyro]

No, skyrim and fallout would literally give you a message saying "Game cannot be loaded because X mods are not present"

[neat wing]

Never had that happen but ok not for a carry weight increase mod

[marble gyro]

A core script changing mod can screw everything up, and yours happen to be one

[violet dune]

remove mod, verify game files through steam or whatever plat u have, try again

[marble gyro]

He's on console

[neat wing]

Can this be done on Xbox

[violet dune]

consoles dont have file verification?

[neat wing]

Well they should

[marble gyro]

They do, but involves putting it into safe mode

[violet dune]

good reason to buy pc

ddr5 cost like ps5 probably

[neat wing]

Honest the fix for stuff like this would be if the devs added when you make a save it makes a backup unmodded save

That’s an easy feature

[marble gyro]

......

So heart of chernobyl got taken out of the random loot drop in anomaly zones

[neat wing]

I don’t realy get on with pc to many issues can happen and I don’t enjoy having to mess with files and settings to play a game thanks for the offer tho

[marble gyro]

Its more easier than you think

[violet dune]

if you setup properly once. you dont have any issues

[unkempt grail]

Someone else is having problem in the last update? my game try to start and then just close. On pc btw. Sorry for my english

[violet dune]

and all issues more or less are covered and easily fixable / multiple work arounds. with console you kinda locked

[marble gyro]

There are helplines that don't charge for that stuff, and best buy techs help like crazy

Or if you are tight on cash, just get a decent laptop, those are pretty much high performance to play majority pf the games now a days

[violet dune]

in general stalker 2 getting so many patches, updates... it will crash and crash

you need to wait till all the content is done and game is polished to the point there no more major patches

[rancid kiln]

Sent 👌
It took them a bit but they did end up fixing that GP37 scope glitch. So lots of love there ❤️

[chilly forum]

My stalker has never crashed

[violet dune]

because your stalker is good stalker

[rancid kiln]

Console i had 1, PC maybe 3? 🤔

[chilly forum]

I'm on console

[marble gyro]

Stalker clear sky still crashes lol

[rancid kiln]

Yeah in the whole time i was playing on PS5 it only crashed proper once

[chilly forum]

That's my favorite stalker lol

[marble gyro]

Mine is SOC

[violet dune]

soc is peak

[chilly forum]

I like clear sky bc of the faction wars

[feral sigil]

Mine cop

[violet dune]

i liked CS because of cordon military post MG

[marble gyro]

Cop is peak chaos

[violet dune]

aimboting through bushes

i liked cop only for pripyat exploration

[marble gyro]

That's mainly what it is, a sandbox

[marble gyro]

Like I don't remember any story in cop tbh

[violet dune]

ZULU

[feral sigil]

You infliltrate the zone to find amswers about missing military guys

[violet dune]

mission to get into pripyat was peak

[feral sigil]

Thats your mission

Sounds.......boring tbh lol, I love cop, but yeah, the story did not peak my interest

[violet dune]

its like spoiling titanic

[marble gyro]

SOC is Hella memorable

[rancid kiln]

What Jack lives, Rose dies, everyone is happy xD

[feral sigil]

Soc atmosphere is unmatched

[violet dune]

Rose over 25 yo

[marble gyro]

Cop had good atmosphere too

[feral sigil]

Yes

[primal nimbus]

Same

[marble gyro]

Like in cop that was when A-life even became a thing, like more known

[primal nimbus]

The ship sank

[primal nimbus]

If only Sultan and Beard did not fall out

[feral sigil]

Anyone completed the new missions yet

[violet dune]

abondoned ship before kids and women

[rancid kiln]

Finished it like 30ish minutes ago. It's a solid free addition to the game

[violet dune]

i wait till expansion

[feral sigil]

Cheers thanks bro

[rancid kiln]

I mean it's free, what do people expect xP

I enjoyed it 👌

[marble gyro]

I restarted my game on master(veteran+)

Because I like the challenge but don't think I'm ready for pure master difficulty yet.....no saves is brutal

[feral sigil]

I believe in you

[violet dune]

for me to enjoy no save master, game have to be polished polished

[torn mortar]

im trying to download AA for stalker shoc but i cant make the game start for the life of me

[rancid kiln]

Give it 3 😜

[violet dune]

i just dont have that dawg in me to die from random crap

[rancid kiln]

Oh no that will happen regardless xD

That's the zone

[violet dune]

if its reasonable its ok, but i dont want to die from 10 bloodsuckers and lose 40min

[rancid kiln]

Nah usually it's a missed jump/drop xD

[sick arch]

So.. I looked at the name and glanced at the picture and could’ve sworn that blood sucker was rocking a sombrero. Now I’m mad there’s no mod for this.

[jagged turret]

in stalker 2 what are some things i should be aware about

[violet dune]

lack of women

[rancid kiln]

Everything?

[jagged turret]

well like groups of people, things that would make my experience more goal oriented

[rancid kiln]

🤔

[sick arch]

Loot?

[violet dune]

group of people = walking loot

[sick arch]

It’s role play at that point like that decision is you lol

[rancid kiln]

I mean loot yeah, EXPLORE EVERY NOOK AND CRANNY!
But you know... have fun with game

[sick arch]

Pick a stalker shtick and stick with it

[marble gyro]

I mean if it's not a random pseudodog, it's an anomaly that you cannot see

[violet dune]

the 1 thing you should be aware is psi artifact field

[rancid kiln]

Have fun with the game, explore, see what there is. In order to make money usually sell excess loot or find artifacts.
Try your best to not look up guides for items and such 👍

[feral sigil]

Go blind find for yourself

[marble gyro]

Run and fight only when you need to, reposition as much as possible as AI is more aggressive than previous patches

[feral sigil]

Wheres the fun if we spoil the game for yo

[rancid kiln]

^

[feral sigil]

Those new players bro ...

[jagged turret]

i mean i played zero sievert so i have a general idea

[violet dune]

how many hrs u have in stalker2?

[rancid kiln]

I mean don't be ashamed to play on easy mode xP It's meant to be enjoyed

[jagged turret]

like 1 hour lmao

[violet dune]

why u even ask these questions than... holy

this is SP game, no meta here

[feral sigil]

Go out there and explore

[marble gyro]

Easy is a great starting point..you'll still die by a bloodsucker

[feral sigil]

This game is a treasure

[marble gyro]

Or one of those gas anomalies

[feral sigil]

And its like.we steal it from you

[empty hare]

Jesus christ the bullet penetration in this game is so awful. Im getting shot through 4" of cement wall by a 9x18 smg

[jagged turret]

you mean those fast things?

[rancid kiln]

Just go play it and have fun 👍

[marble gyro]

That's a bug atm, gsc is aware at that

[rancid kiln]

Yes, with the tentacle faces

[violet dune]

100hr of fun, dont ruin it

[marble gyro]

Unless they are using Armor piercing rounds of 9x18

[rancid kiln]

I think my Expansive fed shotgun says otherwise 😜 xD

[marble gyro]

Oh and also to be aware as well, there are these enemies called Poltergeists, they can hit you anywhere it does not matter if you are in cover, just know if you see something glowing like with a rainbow aura, shoot it so it doesn't fly towards you, also it's a bug they can throw stuff through walls at you

[rancid kiln]

Among many many other mutants

[jagged turret]

oh those were hard to kill but not with some fps experience

[marble gyro]

Yeah, one is easy to kill, try killing 6 at a time

[rancid kiln]

||Pulls out the Texan||

[marble gyro]

That's cold

[feral sigil]

I strongly suggest you play the og trilogy too those games are the holy trinity of video games

[rancid kiln]

saiga 12

[neon egret]

Soulunity, just take your time, explore, be careful, enjoy the scenery, don't forget that you can always run away. Take note of surroundings, watch out for traps, silent/stealth is a good idea most of the time. Enjoy the atmosphere, explore everything. Don't forget to take food with you. Good luck newbie stalker.

[jagged turret]

they dont have good reviews lol

[jagged turret]

ok thx

[rancid kiln]

||More ammo, but the Texan does a tad more damage||

[neon egret]

Did I mention exploring everything?

[feral sigil]

Bro you try to.make.me rage or something ?

I just said they are the holy trinity of gaming

And you talk about gaming reviews

[rancid kiln]

EVERYTHING! God some of those enhancement stash spots 😅

[jagged turret]

chill im new to stalker i just see what is there

[marble gyro]

Trust the community more than reviewers man, and trust your instincts well, everyone has different tastes

[jagged turret]

i never heard of stalker till now

[marble gyro]

Welcome to the zone

[rancid kiln]

The enhanced editions don't because of a few things, Being a newbie to them though they are fine to play and not worry about that stuff.
You really should give the OG trilogy a try 👍

[marble gyro]

The enhanced editions are actually more polished now than they first launched

[jagged turret]

the trilogy sets the background to the zone?

[marble gyro]

Cop being an exception as it's basically COP when it first launched

[rancid kiln]

Yes

[marble gyro]

But it's still good.....but holy cow atm enhanced COP is a nightmare to play

Like they went backwards with this next gen update

[rancid kiln]

Characters reappear in stalker 2 and it's a direct continue from those games.
Shadow (The first one) goes into all the stuff

[uneven pecan]

As much as I loved the trilogy, it’s hard for me to recommend them now. They are very dated.

[neon egret]

Yes, but you don't need to play them to enjoy stalker 2. It really depends on whether you're more interested in the story/lore or the gameplay/atmosphere.

[marble gyro]

Stalker 2 is it's own story tho, and there is a good retelling

[jagged turret]

ill probably just end up reading the story

[marble gyro]

Also Skif is a badass

[violet dune]

you can check YT. there is some 20min videos which explains everything before stalker 2

[jagged turret]

will do

[rancid kiln]

Just let them play the trilogy people xD Stop talking about how the enhanced editions "ruined certain things"
They don't know that xD

[neon egret]

The OG trilogy is a bit dated graphics wise, so it may seem meh to people, for the lore enjoyers though... it's a must play.
I suggest watching a lore video or two if you don't want to play the OG trilogy. 👍

[feral sigil]

Metal gera solid 2 ,Nier,Demon souls,legend pf zelda,shadow of the collosus ALL THESE had bad and mediocre reviews when they came out

[uneven pecan]

I recommend this too. Just watch a video to get caught up. You don’t need to play the original games.

[marble gyro]

Wasn't paying attention and I died to a flesh spawn while in a fire anomaly

[feral sigil]

Amd they are considered to be the best games in gaming

[rancid kiln]

I mean geez, you could say that about Morrowind 😂

[neon egret]

You could and I would lol, never played it, and not interested in playing it tbh. I enjoyed skyrim, modded skyrim, and enderal. I tried oblivion, also a bit dated graphics wise, maybe the remaster is better idk but I never had as much interest in the older elder scrolls games tbh.

[uneven pecan]

I tried Morrowind a couple years ago. It was unplayable lol.

[neon egret]

Same for fallout. I know fallout 3 and NV are super good in terms of lore/story/fun but I just didn't enjoy the gameplay and graphics. I enjoyed fallout 4 and its gameplay a lot more even though the story was meh

[marble gyro]

Fallout is better than 3 imo

[rancid kiln]

You'd have to define unplayable, you just need to know how it works.
Stock game from GOG works just fine, doesn't scale well to modern res... but the game it's self still works flawless

[feral sigil]

Not at all the graphics are beautiful

[uneven pecan]

No I mean I couldn’t personally play it. The graphics were terrible lol.

[rancid kiln]

OpenMW, thank me later 😜

[neon egret]

I think it's mostly nostalgia for you peeps 😂

[marble gyro]

Morrowind works put of the box on GOG, the game mechanics themselves, you would need a bit of a knowhow on hit percentages work, because if you have low HIT and AC you'll do crap for damage

[feral sigil]

I dont consider OG trilogy games, to me it is ART

[uneven pecan]

I tried OpenMW. Still looked awful lol.

[marble gyro]

Also magic.....lmao....fail cast healing is so clutch

[rancid kiln]

Course it does, it came out in 2002 xD

[steep condor]

Hey yall this game is available on ps5 right?

[rancid kiln]

Yes

[marble gyro]

Yes

[rancid kiln]

Like as of over a month ago

[marble gyro]

Yup

[steep condor]

Doesn’t appear for me in the ps5 store tho…huh

[feral sigil]

No because then i would have this opinion for every game that came out back then

[rancid kiln]

Absolutely splash the cash to train your skills 👌

[uneven pecan]

I have that opinion lol

[feral sigil]

Yes and it runs and looks awesome

[steep condor]

Nvm im blind

[steep condor]

Fr? I’m thinking about buying it…

[feral sigil]

Yep

[rancid kiln]

I mean truth, It does have a few frame issues. But it's very very solid

[uneven pecan]

do it

[marble gyro]

Just a heads up there are bugs, but GSC is quick on responses and ETAs when fixes come out

But either way it's a damn good game

[steep condor]

I will!!

[feral sigil]

This is one of the best game money can buy,it has soul and personality,games like this are RARE.

[steep condor]

really?

[vernal lily]

[marble gyro]

And it has a ton of content, like a ton, you'll be getting lost in the world, fighting for your life, and if you are masochist, then expedition mode is for you

[neon egret]

y'all got some graphic/performance tips?

[uneven pecan]

You can always wait a few days for the Steam Winter sale. It might get a discount.

[neon egret]

I'm struggling with performance at times on pc

[feral sigil]

Npcs feel alive,shooting is godlike,perfect exploration,super immersive,awesome story

[marble gyro]

Game is 40% off on xbox atm, ps5 might get a sale soon too

[feral sigil]

I dont think so it just came out

[marble gyro]

Roaming NPCs sometimes feel alive, lol we are not at COP living npcs yet

[steep condor]

Ye…i think I’m gonna wait for that

[steep condor]

Sounds like my kind of game

[uneven pecan]

Oh wait you were asking about PS5 right lol

[neon egret]

I got the ultimate edition for 30% off and it's 100% worth it

[feral sigil]

I got ultimate full price to support the devs

[marble gyro]

Oh and so how npcs react to like taking cover, they only take cover if there are places they can take cover in, like if there is no cover they'll stand there like a sitting duck and wait to get shot, but they have close to laser accuracy on higher difficulties

[neon egret]

1 dollar = 1 hour of gaming is a good value indicator, I'm at 70~ hours and the game cost me like 78 bucks? I'm only halfway through the game probably if not less

[marble gyro]

Also too I might be going crazy, but I feel that npcs are now pushing more and flanking more often with the recent patch, because I was holding down two bandits at cordon factory, and suddenly two popped up behind me and ended my run of master difficulty

Like i had ptsd from SOC when soldiers would Flank like that

[feral sigil]

I also got OG trilogy on ps5 but the controller settings are meh tbh

[grim wharf]

Yay I got the deluxe edition of stalker 2

[feral sigil]

Thank god i can play stalker 2 on a mouse

[marble gyro]

I play on controller, I have fine tuned it to where aiming actually feels good

[vernal lily]

[uneven pecan]

I waited 15 year for new stalker of course i got the deluxe edition lol

[feral sigil]

I am too lazy for that bro lmfao

[main jewel]

spoilers for 1.8–> i cant believe ||surgeon is in this game bro like ||

[vernal lily]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cat-dance-cat-vibe-cat-vibing-leila-gif-24155594

[feral sigil]

Playing fps with a controller is stupid anyways

[rancid kiln]

I bought the Ultimate edition... twice 😅

[marble gyro]

Yup....con confirm they flank

[marble gyro]

Don't use aim assist, I never use it in any fps games

Aim gets increasing in better

[rancid kiln]

I was using the motion controls for precise shots 😅

[feral sigil]

Omg

[rancid kiln]

Still a better use of money then Starfield's premium edition 😭 xD

[feral sigil]

Motion controls bro for real😐

[uneven pecan]

Starfield 😭

[rancid kiln]

Aim as norm, motion for precise

[feral sigil]

Hell no

[uneven pecan]

Stalker VR would be pretty insane

[rancid kiln]

Hey i got the platinum for it so xP

[uneven pecan]

Imagine a bloodsucker running up in your face in VR lol

[feral sigil]

You want precise plug a mouse in your ps5 bro

[grim wharf]

Interesting what are journalist stashes

[rancid kiln]

Doesn't work xP

[marble gyro]

Never really tried motion controls

[rancid kiln]

Part of the special editions, extra guns/armor

[feral sigil]

Its supported

[uneven pecan]

Bonus loot. Good stuff.

[rugged wind]

still no UE5 update ? did they say its coming next year now?

[marble gyro]

Dlc stashes

[vernal lily]

Other than bonus stuff, there's small lore tied to it.

[uneven pecan]

Yeah next year.
