anyone know where I should post a bug report for Stalker 2 PS5?
i mean you can email gsc or uh dm mol1t i guess or uh
#📜┃ask-gsc or support via email
I'm so confused.
It's happened again; I've lost my friendly reputation/status with Loners, as Rookie Village and Zalissya are now neutral.
I didn't do Sidor's quest this time, I only went to Zaton, did some looting and Gonta's quests. Does shooting Mercs lower rep with Loners? Is there a bug associated with Gonta's quests? What could be going on?
Im on ps5, and my reputation with all factions will sometimes bug out and show something its not. Im at 190 hours
only faction rep that hasnt changed randomly is ward, and that has stayed red lol
Also thank you @violet dune, I used the ask gsc function
Very difficult to anger molt guy, don't worry
good to know Dr Faust. thank you.
Also can I just say that the story for Stalker 2 is amazing.
Well, unfortunately it seems I won't be able to accurately troubleshoot the issue, but the only two things that I've done that would be unusual would be, well, starting Gonta's quest chain, annnd shooting some of the bandits at the Fish Farm, but only after they've turned hostile. I know I haven't been attacking Loners or anyone neutral to me.
guys, does anyone knows how to fix the problem with game crashing after going to Cordon at some point?
well the real question is
“what” is crashing ur game
I dont know, i tried reinstall, remove mods, nothing seem to work
as soon as I load Cordon Area my game crashes
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000000
#s2-support submit a ticket to gsc and check your emails later
They, surprisingly, answer back
lowkey ion even know
im on xbox
maybe i should put that in my name somewhere
Unless something changed recently, I believe cuirass, shield of duty, and bulwak exo are the three that don't have sprint. Rest do. Duty is a strange one since its the rarest exo in the game lol . Also the worse exo in the game
Something changed I am pretty sure
I think Cuirass is only one that can’t sprint now
I will have to check at some point though
Man I hope so. I'll check on a new save when I get back to my computer. Duty having no sprint exo is a shame lol
Yeah
I really need to go back to my Corundum suit but I didn’t save before I experimentally upgraded the Cuirass Exo which sucks because of the no sprint as it has amazing stats
100% . They should put a sprint upgrade behind yaniv if they're worried about balance. Such a cool looking suit.
I agree
Especially when they literally have a guide that wears the Cuirass, guides are supposed to be fast, and yet he wears something he can’t run in
I understand that Cuirass is easiest Exo to get
But it has the most upgrade flash drives needed and they can put the sprint upgrade in Jupiter or Pripyat
Yeah just checked on a new save file. Bulwark. Cuirass, and Shield of Duty don't have sprint upgrades 🙁
All good, no worries. I made this matrix earlier using what I think the "best" upgrade paths are for exosuits (min/max sweating, you can go with whatever you want and its perfeclty viable even in master tbh. So this is just my personal preference). But sprint capability is one of the things listed in there. If you're ever looking for a reference. Based on the latest stats. https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1q9jnzh/stalker_2_exo_suitsskeletons_tier_matrix_fully/
it should be behind pripyat
if it was in yaniv you can get it as soon as you leave the lesser zone
i already have a upgraded kharod and a bulat full body armor suit before i even start on of the main garbage quests now
so
an exo would be insane
For sure, sorry that's what I meant. That endgame area where all the exos are

I feel bad for burers ever since I bought the revolver.
Doesn't even feel like a fight. Feels more like an execution. Then I remembered they're burers.
a got a question
Go on
can you actually run the game, if you asking for the dlc? 
Dont stand there, I said come in
Mans thought I didn't up my game!
GIMME ALL YOUR DLC01, BHITCH!
Jk, jk
I just want to get the feeling when you release the game with huge map, it's crucial to fill with good content, which CD project succeed.
They done it long time ago.
Now i understand the lack of the content in the Stalker 2.
Like i was doing The Witcher assignments from villagers to hunt monsters, over 20h already exclusively. The phenomenal thing is i still didn't accomplish main quest, dlc's.
Yes, i as well had a huge battle in my head. I JUST WANNA HAVE CONTENT TO PLAY, don't want that Stalker 2 will be another walking sim like Death Stranding
I never presented myself as a hedonistic person 
How about you DLC some shoes
I feel like witcher has a different feel to it
Stalker is full on a walking sim and traversing the whole map takes a WHILE it feels like a journey to go from duga to the swamps
Meanwhile in velen which is by far the largest well you can go side to side by horse way quicker than in S2 you also have unlimited quick travel and I feel like the world is more condensed as in there are POI's every 30s and nothing absolutely nothing in between
Stalker on the other hand has poi's that are a bit more spread out on average but it also has non marked stuff that is interesting and it has way better environmental challenges/puzzles
Also it has less repeatable locations because it doesnt just have 'kill 5 bandits and loot one chest' poi's
However due to the witcher being way more focused on being an rpg it has superior storytelling
My point is following, recent debate and Stalker 2 defendant, someone gave me a task to re-explore the Witcher universe in 2026 to gain image profoundly how actually game is made. To remind myself the ratio between exploration and content. Note, CDPR released Witcher 2 in 2011 and in the following years Witcher 3 (2015), meanwhile Stalker eight years after, you know where I'm heading?
It's just a reflective, and eyeopening how we consumers should press the developers to deliver something truly special that we can play it for decades. We should be nowadays even more aware about slop, put out constructive opinion constantly. However I'm willing come back to subject only when my current play through ends, because my buddy awaits to prove I'm wrong about Stalker2, and hes right about gameplay in the Witcher
I think we should be able to join factions with the upcoming new dlc or as a standalone update. Where do you guys thing i can sugest this to CSG so they can see it?
I mean yeah they made w3 fast but now also take ages to release anything despite growing in size
I dont think this comparison makes much sense because game dev doesnt seem 1:1 between projects
Anyway yeah we should nag the devs a little to make it better
I doubt theyd agree maybe if they add freeplay
It doesnt make much sense with skif
Protect the V-I-P team
Goodnight stalkers
Why would you protect a very itoxicated person...
DONT GO TO SLEEP, wait for the beep
@young magnet Hello ! I would like to sugest something for the game in the future. I think we should be able to join factions that have their own story and goals with the upcoming new dlc or as a standalone update or even its own second dlc. Do you think it would be possible for this to be added to the game?
💀
The idea seems like is generated with a moderate convo in some chat bot.
All the factions wars, are because they’ve… some lore…
Pls don't ping the whole GSC role
For suggestions there are #📜┃ask-gsc
Oh ok sorry
What do you mean by generated with a chat bot lol
I mean that you didn’t even read the last sentence…
Hint: why discord have ongoing factions wars?
You totally lost me
Yeah that doesn’t make any sense 
I have a uncanny sense of timing… for making awkward entrances at the wrong moment.
Dudeski edited the message what was the original
Whoever decides to put that electric poltergeist on that big thinng on the refrigeration towers has to take some classes about gameplay design

I'm pretty sure if Skiff cannot pull magazines out of thin air, the Ram 2 definitely would have more advantage over the Saiga.
Ram-2's better than Saiga already
hy stalker good sunday
@vapid galleon im prefered saiga also ram2 It seems more cumbersome to me as a beautiful weapon but the reloading and rate of fire are slower than the Saiga
Mmmm is it just me or burer make more damage with guns than soldiers?
Damm i really like burers, it’s genuinely funny when they kill you with your own gun
Yes they aim for the head
I wish you can pick the weapon while it’s up to avoid that incoming damage but probably would be a huge nerf but it has sense
anyone clued up with mods?
Can anyone tell me wich means every signal you can find near stashes like a triangle with an eye, do they are relevant in some ways like trying to give you some info about something?
Goodmorning
Nothing like that (as far as I know). It's just an indicator that there's a stash. Why do stalkers mark their stashes to make it easier for you to find them? Well... They are dumb stalkers, I guess...
And then they wonder why they’re stashes are looted 
do we know if DLCs will be integrated into the main game or played as a standalone story?
Hello
We don't know yet
I have made poor financial decisions and bought a nacon revolution x unlimited and turtle beach stealth 700 gen 3s 
you are never gonna financially recover from this
Mood
Type shit
shit
shit
Negative
Woops
at least we didn’t get wolf’d
wtf is going on wit bueres??? He chased me trough whole map 3 times
Kill him
too tidious
murder hmm






they better be integrated
"I AM SIR FERDNINAND VON ISENBERG"
I AM FERDINAND VON AEGIR
Eh tomato tohmatoe
Eisenberg sounds more appropriate
For how he says that as a critical hit
ough im such a big smelly chud my girl stink is infecting every inch of my room ouh fuck my stupid baka life

they do this alot


i dunnonwhy
but burers
just chase yo
and they always know ur exact position
basically they are slower poltergeists
@harsh jungle so do you play fire emblem?
yea
Which one is your fav?
uhhhh the ine with Dimitri
Oh so 3 houses
ye I also like awakening too
Awakening was a good game, my personal favorite is path of radiance
You can emulate path of radiance
Damn, $100 for a GameCube disk
And also too if you have a switch 2, you can play it via the subscription nintendo online
Granted I cant talk, I just spent under $400 on a new controller and headset

I’m not asking my parents for a switch 2 if my switch 1 still works
The nacon revolution x and the stealth 700 gen 3
Could always get it on credit and pay monthly of like $20
For that price thats practically a steal
I say save it
Until it gets stick drift within a month
Don't sell, unless you need the dough
I think I’ll just stick to piracy for now
Because default xbox controllers suck in terms of quality
Sail the 7 seas I see
ye
All these poor souls buying $200 official Xbox pro controller to have stick drift in a few months like the regular ones 
pirating Nintendo games is always morally correct
I bought the spare parts to replace the Xbox pad sticks with the anti-drift ones.
I got the nacon with magnetic sticks, even if it does somehow drift i got a 2 year on it
I agree with you 100%
With their policies are a bunch of bs I actually agree
Can't stream Stalker on switch without having a Nintendo watermark somewhere so you don't get sued
The only issues ive heard about the nacon is its annoying to set up but afterwards its pretty good
I bought 2 pads from Themes for 60 euros each and unlike the official Xbox Elite series it hasn't had any drift after a few months, while Elite 2 already shows some signs of drift it goes to the left by itself
Wth is that sticker name???? 
Thats microsoft quality for you
they are all silly
How do you think I felt getting the notification
I believe it
no there is no quality because 2 pads taken from temu work better than the official ones
Exactly, never by something labeled Microsoft without expecting issues
The only good thing is that I find it ergonomically better than the PS5 pad, so whether you like it or not, I'll have to buy the one for PC when they break.
I miss the ps2 controller
I have 6 controllers all for different genres and playstyles
Mao :3
I need 1 that works for all, hate having multiple controllers
I always buy multiple of one
I have been using the Razer Wolverine V3 Pro since it came out last June & at least for my tastes the best controller I've ever had. So first of all, it's a little wider especially towards the top compared to a regular Xbone controller, which I always felt seemed cramped compared to 360. I'd been using its predecessor V2 with extra shoulder buttons for 4 years reliably & then jumped immediately at the opportunity for a wireless one with some solid +4 rear button placement compared to the V2 Chroma I'd ignored, and finally getting rid of potentiometer sticks on the V3 it's been great
Even the colors are dope
Nice software too, can recalibrate in the Xbox app & even use an extra button as "sensitivity clutch" like insta-DPI lower and have found myself very fond of that for keeping generally higher sensitivities on thumbstick (but even at 100% S2 so slow) though still having that great precision for headshots.
Setting up a custom aim curve in S2 is also something I highly recommend, I don't use any aim assist now after really fine-tuning other settings
I looked into the v3 but from the sounds of it they're fairly similar with the nacon being slightly more advanced with customization/functions
no amount of beatings will make me stop
mrow
That and the face plate is a little too fat for my liking on the v3
and ues thats a challenge
:3
Point taken
Well, I'd like to try the Razer Wolverine and it's not cheap, damn it
All in all it was a hard choice between the nacon and v3
Has anyone tried Asus Riujin and if they have the same problems, even though it also costs a fortune
NO DLC01 NEWS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
am i still unc or naaaaaaaaah
o my god krezzin arrive in chat
some day i will stop yapping but today is not that day
Yap on
Im going back to payday3 with a friend
see you guys later I have to go to the kitchen the WOMAN is calling
I will say it's annoying that the Razer controller requires you to fully launch the app to mess with settings & doesn't even necessarily have like one of those Xbox hotbars come up as Spotify does or something. You actually launch the full app and on some games that can even make you leave your session, but never tend to go in the app unless I'm setting up a new profile for something first time, because you can just quickswap between a few saved onto controller firmware with keybinds & I have them all pretty solid for my tastes by now. Ultimately, the controller itself feels so solid and I'm glad they went for more minimalist look instead of the goofier RGB or frankly that screen in the middle of it, if only that could be used for more modular things like imagine it displaying PDA in S2 that'd be sick!
I think what has contributed especially to my V3 bias is that I also hold my controller weird "choked up" with middle fingers on triggers and index on bumpers then my ring & pinkies are on the extra rear buttons, used to claw grip like crazy and think this is derivative of that lol. Now I tend to always remap two of those rear buttons to the sticks because I've come to hate clicking them, think that's from using regular Xbone controllers and feeling like any extra pressure was going to break them to drift sooner

Nah im unc
🫃
how many zone says ru old
what
buy 2 get 2 sale
lowk easy to figure out

unite all the hours you spent in the stalker games
I speak American dawg
and make em in to days, common sense

Take your time
Are there any videos on YouTube??
i gota start the next one after this one tbf since im getting more for my birthday

I need to do a COP replay and steam it
i sometimes stream my shenanigans in 2
no just kidding i took one this morning

You stream???? Yooo I'll shoot you a follow
sometimes i stream
i will watcht
twitch is linked on my profile
I usually stream around 6:30 eastern time
rizz
Followed
Cos I’m waiting for the PC bits and bobs I’ve done the trilogy (well, doing CoP) on Xbox
Clear sky was terrible on console
Would not recommend
We all know mods are vital for CS
❌

Meow
Clear sky is still terrible on console even in the EE version
But I fųck with it
I streamed clear sky 100%, even when it crashed a lot
A bit but yeah
It’s as you’d expect though
Trilogy really isn’t made for console
Doesn’t matter how many “enhancements” are made
Nope, controls are dogwater, but it passes for a old game
I still play it from time to time, as it's pretty fun
I put myself through the horrors of master too 

Hey Lexa, you should stream
I believe all those tips and trick put into action would be great content
You don't even have to talk on mic, you can interaact with chat by just texting, like a "No commentary 100% walkthrough"
maybe
i think videos would be better for that stuff though
but i already balance work n stuff, and i dont want my hobbies to turn into a 2nd job
Lexa gaming channel
lexa toucher 5000 will be my name
my irl name or display name outside of the server isnt even close to lexa btw
Nah, no need for it to be a second job, just have fun with it
Hell it would make you some scratch on the side, too
Well when you hit affiliate anyways
I get a twitch pay check of 100 every 2 weeks, it would be more but I don't stream a lot
i think i should start a new save for the stream later tbf
Yipeee! :33333
im gunan change my pfp
To?
nooo
Become cat
grr grr grrr

i like my banner so ima keep it but ima change the colors a little

uuuhhmgggh
The cat would have been perfect
Thought they fixed npcs having damn near aimbot and lasering you
My name is Clarence!
The amount of bug this game has even after a year of constant updates it’s something worrying
maybe veteran isnt the way to go, cleared the game on it once but i just shot a dude in the head with ap 5.45 and he shook it off, not even wearing an exoskeleton

Dooooo eeeet
Nice name, very unique
I started it and am doing some side quests in the lesser zone before I splore and do the quests to leave the lesser zone
Dope dope
wait r we talking about names?
Lexa and hitman shared theirs
Unique name Lexa has, and i didn't expect hitmans name to be Clarence, very formal
There are many songs
not reeeealy
Mine is odd cause i found out it's spanish counterpart is basically slang for rich kid lmao
My name references the actual first sin ever committed at the garden of eden
uhhhh
uhhhhhu
hhhhhh
stroke
My name is Adam, currently on the search for an eve
mines Caroline 😐
That's a nice name
(song: the stroke by billy squier released in 1981)
yea I’m kinda tired of hearing the song tbh
Thats one of my fathers favorites
it’s in the top three of songs I don’t like
That was just a quote
my name is actually Nathan haha
only Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas is You” beats it
oh.. thats still a nice name
I hear that song every day until January is over.....also my dad's very favorite song
We celebrate Christmas all the way until January is over in my family
but what if all i wanted for christmas is you… lets think of a nickname for u besides carol or line
So presents still are brought to us
@harsh jungle you got
lina, cara, coco, caz (caz is pretty cool), carly and erm linny


youll be caz
The worst thing people shorten it to is Nate
Makes me sound like an old man
I think I was named after a relative or some crap
Yall have good nicknames and I'm stuck with sin
you can be nathanator or niel
Literally, all my friends call me that because they are a bunch of anti social weirdos
Edgy too
ada like ay dah, is pretty kewl

everyone in a different server I’m in calls me Strelok for some reason
dama exists too
but your deggy

I'm just joshin

i dunno
You may be IP banned my friend
yeah i guess
found 6 or 7 dead stalkers in one bunch, then two dead bloodsuckers in a fire anomaly next to them 🤣
Offline A life go brrr
it was worth the one medkit it took to harvest both
there are spots where there's constant enemy activity
Gamma and chill? In one sentence? How? How?
does the game throw enemies at you if you d1ck around too much at one location? or it's totally random?
Random
"Trailer dump" location next to the lake -- continuous stream of enemies
no, but i cant dick around anyway so i wouldnt know
I need to stream more and get more followers
Random
the only thing that really got me more followers was Skyrim of all things
I get there, I'm like OK, new location discovered, who's the resident enemy? pseudodogs? sweet let's shoot
haven't found the "main dog" yet, angry army platoon arrives
kill them while dodging dogs
finally kill the main dog, barely loot 3 bodies, snorks
kill snorks, running low on medkits at this stage
next army platoon 😲
Nice nice, I got all my followers from playing Devil may cry 4
the game does this randomly for some reason especially with rats
I should stream some Skyrim again soon tbh
rats randomly popping up and touching me
gotta mod it back up first tho
I'll definitely watch, I always like seeing other people's builds and strategies
volkhov SAM site --- this is where I found the 2 suckers and the stalkers 🤣 loot them, bandits arrive, and the fecking Burer came out from the underground too... probably didn't like us making all that noise 👀
Ig he meant mess around. My answer was in assumption of that

got to that ruined cemetery place.... again, a whole bunch of dead stalkers, but they killed the 2 poltergeists that used to roam the area, and one of them wasn't even looted yet 🤣
love this game
I might steam Skyrim instead tonight tbf

😐
i just discovered you can trip while running and die

Mrow :3

Rage fest
oh

OK guys I may have messed up
howww
when do we get corps armor
If anyone has a good screenshot of CNPP and generators together please send it my way. I need it for a lil piece im working on
went to the old mine, rescued Banzai, but the last guy (probably the boss) was in this wooden shack and I shot him through the window, and now I can't get to him, the door is locked 🙁
doesn't seem possible to get to the window either
quiet side note: isn't it awesome that the timber in the Zone is bullet- and grenade-proof?
never, the sthurm unique operator exo from the ult edition is the closest youll get too it
And that’s the most drippiest exo of all.
Even if the stats are essentially the same as the base exo.
go to door, look to your right I think. Break boxes and there should be a path
That+the camo remington is giga drip
and worse than the diamond, which is actually nice, theres no pay to be overpowered, its pay to be drippy
even reloaded the quicksave to see if I can get him to come out... nope
If it's the same part I am thinking of, I also thought I was cooked when I killed the guy through the window
who can upgrade exos?
But there were these boxes that were covering a shortcut to that area
Harpy in Yaniv, the guy in Pripyat & I think Banzai once you do all his shit
Not bison he’s the merchant lmao
Btw oddly enough shturm is supposed to be ward armor atleast it was shown like that in promos
Monolith drip is kinda mid ngl.
Yeah but that ends quickly
The dlc ssp and shturm are pretty are the unique val, vss, remington are NICE
Honestly I only think Spark looks like ass but it makes sense considering their boss is schizo to the nth degree 
The integral is cool I guess and the revolver is giga trash
TOPOL WAS THE FIRST TO...DIEUH

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000023a7f182e48, do you have any method for reapairing this other then those basic things?
almost two weeks already when I can't play Stalker 2 :/
i wish you could sprint with the bulwark and sheild of duty
Which is just… why, why even do that?
You can’t even find sprint upgrades for them.
they are unique and cool too
OK so apparently Banzai's 'smart' plan wasn't that smart after all
Black and red is always a good combo.
never mind I'm just dumb 😅
true
Freedom armor is also pretty good because of their camo pattern.
mhmh bulat suit is what i wear after the berill
I wish factions had more unique armor designs. Most of them are just reskins which is far tbh.
Did they actually, I dunno, playtest the Flashbang anomaly before implementing it in the game?
sad reskins
theres a counter
use the weird bolt
Yeah, zig-zag
zig zag doesnt exactly work
I don't have the weird-bolt.
mainly on higher difficulties
terrible mechanic with no counter
Zig zagging works when it's a more open space but unfortunately I've gotta deal with it in a building atm
but thats stalker
find it, it grants invincibility to all anomalies with what most people say is like 3 times, but it works like a durability… it recharges after every emission, put it in your inventory when your done using it for the area you wanna take zero damage from, dont leave it in your artifact slots
Respectfully no, it isn't. This is just goofy.
get the weir bol dangnnggittt
i wanna take a bath

That wasn't directed at you Lexa.
stalger
The goofy thing
Yeah, seriously, I don't get it. Like, it wouldn't be as bad if it wasn't for the Flashbang occasionally double-tapping without warning
This being STALKER, that's the beauty of it; I never know what's intentional on the devs' part and what's broken.
i wonder why they even thought of it instwad of adding a new grenade
Orrrr quadrouple tapping, apparently?
I just walked into a different building and it legit just went off 4-5 times in every direction, I think.
Alright, message received, game doesn't want to be played
Is there anyone who makes thermal imaging modules? Otherwise, it's really impossible to spot the enemy.🙃
😅 .
Hey
Just use your eyes bro
Even if the enemy fires at you from inside the house, you still can't see them.
Can you really see when the enemy shoots at you in the dark?🙃
theres a mod i use but i forgot what it was to make it more realistic
Good muzzle flashes on enemies from this https://mod.io/g/stalker2/m/enhanced-combat-vfx1#description

No one told him about nvgs
?
This game series is really the only one I use Supressors on. XD
Yes, indeed i put them
on grenades as well
Why?
You didn’t tried yet?
found a broken gauss gun, I guess it's not worth getting it fixed...?




Stomach hurts
Perhaps
Chug a sprite, eat a banana then do jumping jacks
then again I found a grand total of 6 bullets for it so far
Eat hot peppers, that'll cure any stomach ache
Here's a good challenge on any difficulty. Post first main mission in Malachite (VPC mirror) go to Wild Island. Only monolith spawn. I killed 50 and got owned. I dont think they stop respawning.
2 more hours
two more hours for what
So I found a old song that was on a psp umd feature disc
It's called Blood red summer byCoheed and cambria
Still a banger to this day
Doesn’t hit the same as the first playthrough
Nothing will match that first lair experience when you didn’t know wtf to expect
I’m bored tbh
Wonder why the Bulat wasn't picked over the Berill
seems like it is flat out better in a lot of ways
whattt in what
cause if it stalker 2 then i have a answer
I can entertain, but I'm not a good juggler

Reason: Bad word usage
yepper
the berill has a nicer camo than the bulat, it also has a more rugged like look than the bulat.. some people also straight up just dont like the freedom camo
the ipsf armors are really good if you want a nice military feel
the bulat can also achieve this but the bulat looks alot more modernized
i would like the bulwark exo to have sprint
man
why did gsc just not allow sprint on them instead of locking their sprint upgrades in pripyat
gsc would not bend down to me
ive killed so many monolith by going back to Wild Island Post SIRCAA just for lulz. holy hek its insane. at least 50. If you try to go through the woods youll get surrounded. I had to use the bunker and stairs eventually they stopped coming. I kept the blue monolith transmitter alive just bc i enjoy the killing 😛
they would throw bricks at me
i think i'm going to do a 2nd master run and kill everyone except folks in the bases ofc. Is that even feasible for upgrades/repairs? or will everyone in Rostok, for example, turn on me?
10 more mins
is there a VR mod for this game?
rick roll

Instructions for playing in VR
Step 1 : Download UEVR Nightly from GitHub. Make sure it is the Nightly version! Here is the link I used (try to find the latest version though) :
hell yea
When I got into Wild Base post SIRCAA. there's 50-60 enemies outside. They spawn infinitely inside the building over time. When I go in, the bldg is empty. But someone is talking over the speaker. A monolith guy. Yet the bldg is empty?!!
Why are there so many goddamn mutants in the x labs
Why is it so white?
why does lighting down the end of the tunnel and lightshafts look like a billion flickery dots. and older games lighting looks so clean and nice
I didn't watch the video, was simply reposting it because I had embed perms
i remember I watched this video some days ago and wondered why it is so greyed out

Maybe because lumen/nanite didn't exist
Its not because "old was better", it's cause this specific technology sucks
is lumen and nanite bad?
But there are some old games with this problems too
this lighting genuinely pisses me off so bad
In this case, yeah
When used carefully and properly, its good. Sadly, its 5.1 engine so Im sure its got an old version of it + there were clear mistakes made in lightning and reflection
Scary how Unreal Engine 5.7 is the stable branch now and this game uses 5.1 Talk about technical debt lol
is there any game running 5.6 or 5.7?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKJPnXPHfto ofc its demo, but still interesting
Industria 2, Supraworld, Mafia : The Old Country and a few others. I believe Fortnite is up to version 5.6
This year will see more games adopting the version 5.6 and 5.7
there is rumours from molit about 5.6 UE for stalker
From reports between 5.4 and 5.7 there can be a 30% or more performance improvement.
imagine how 5.1 is bad
Yeah bro. Between 5.1 and 5.7 probably a 50-60% performance improvement lol. The newest versions have overhauled lighting systems, how grass is computed etc. It's insane.
nanite voxels
I think I heard something about mega light system too?
but it would be too big of the task to propelry done whole s2 map. i dont think its easily implemented
yes they have megalights and nanite foliage
which removes bad LOD in general. you always see good quality
and trees from far away are like 1 pixel or something
What I find weird is how much work is entailed to upgrade to a new version of UE5. Each version seems like a completely different game engine since developers seem to have so much trouble upgrading to newer versions.
yea. they add some very neat new features which requires to re-do alot of stuff
would be nice if GSC would do dev vlog how much effort it took them to switch engine
Stalker 2 is upgrading to version 5.5.4? That has the megalight system I think?
yes its planned for 5.5.4 but molit also say they might consider it to 5.6
but its rumours, nothing agreed. dev team have to estimate or whatever
I'm sure we would all prefer 5.6
i bet there is so much spaghetti coding
Maybe it can finally do away with the framerate hits in HUBs with lots of NPCs
from 5.1 custom to 5.5.4
Big jump.
Is the emission updated? I can take shelter in any building... or is it bug?
on master i think its bugged
yeah I took my first step into the emission...
they know this issue, working on it
does anyone know how to solve this error:
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000098
only happens in some areas, played 90h without any crash now im having this
Is the ||Paired Kharod Magazine|| still ||hanging off of the helicopter||? I apparently looted that bag already, but I don't have it in my storage box, and I wouldn't have sold it (at least not on purpose).
yes still there, looted some days ago
Did you have that cache marked on map? I wonder if it matters if you have proper information via PDA or dead bodies
I don't suppose there's a way to buy it somewhere if you did sell it, is there?
it doesnt matter, if you got there with ou without the stash info
in my case i went there looking for ||the door code|| and simply found the stash
if you are lucky, i dont know the exact time but merchants do restore their stores, so items that you sell just disappear
Jesus christ the stealth is awful
Been playing "Stalker 2 Loading Screen" for 15 minutes trying to ||get my stuff back at chemical plant|| also f*ck ward
try to visualize the stealth mechanic just to start a fight
theres no stealth other than that
What do you mean?
you can drop 1 or 2 with stealth kills, after that all the NPC know your location
theres no way to clear a camp or run pass enemies with full stealth sadly
Im using a guide and it seems no matter what i do i cant get past this one specific guard, even on Rookie
Gonna try waiting him out
sometimes spawn bugs and you have to reload an earlier save
May try that too
in one mission the npc spawn bugged and ||Faust|| just appeared in front of me blocking my way and i couldn't fight back
Think imma play some diablo 4
Can stalker NPCs use medkits and have bleeding status? Just something that crossed my mind, since they do have an inventory and seem to use the guns in it at least.
You can drop an entire camp you just have to actually avoid LOS unlike in stupid arcadified games like metro where everyone except you is blind
Hello
Ended up just full tilt sprinting past everyone, knifing one guy in the back, and got my stuff back
I believe they do, at least they use medkits to help others lying on ground
I saw a ward was beaten by mutants, he killed the mutants then died all of sudden, because, of bleeding?
is it possible to unlock the container next to the guard tower in the swamp? the one center east of it
1.9 when
You meant write 1.0
Game leaving early access when
end of Jan/early Feb my guess
Morning stalkers
hy stalker good monday
Engine update when
eh probably with the release of the DLC I don't think before March or so
what engine update what am i missing
engine upgrade will be next week, on tuesday
trust
the engine upgrade that will unlock the extraction shooter mode
I am still waiting to transfer my skins into the multiplayer mode
Have anyone been shot to the top of the floor, by Poltergeist
Also, have anyone encounter Poltergeists in all different colors, there are 4 right? white blue red green
i was promised an engine upgrade to unlock catgirls :(
the long lost zone mutation
imagine that
i come back after 4 god damned updates, why cant i still pick up bubble?
Your Save maybe bricked idk
its fresh
atleast you can open his invetory peacefully
Also
finally,over a year after launch, the 7800xt can run the game at 1440p in 60 fps on max settings
50fps*
We can expect either the greatest cook of the century or the whole game is bricked
Id rather have them takę their time, heard some speculation that it may Come out after DLC
Also why is so much BS hardcoded? i want to throw out anti aliasing and DoF but nooooo i cant
Since when have stalkers use the word Zone in a religious context?
Those are Poltergeists impacted by 4 different anomalies like fire, electricity, etc. by hanging out in those environments.
Yes I have encountered all
Green was by yaniv near the small chemical anomaly
Red is common one is in burnt forest on the dlc stash and one in the jail that spark occupies in garbage
White is everywhere and I cant put my finger on any guaranteed electric spawns but ive seen them
Even random stalkers in like all entries deitify the zone and mention it as if its some living thing kinda like people do with the sea irl
Ive seen someone get knocked off some scaffolding near the cooling towers by a large object
Cant wait to visit the elephants foot in the CNPP
Gotta lick it, heard it tastes like strawberries
There was a spot I encountered all 4 in same place for a quest seeking collars
anyone know why I cant load ball ammo into my mosin? it wont let me switch to ball ammo after I finished off my AP ammo
can't guns only use 1 type ofammo at a time?
you can swap them
at least on console when you open your weapon wheel you can swap them
i know u can modify ur weapons to change ammo but still thst 1 type
Other game devs said jumping from 5.4 to 5.6 gave them up to 180% FPS increase in some scenarios, so, if they go from 5.1 to 5.4 which is what, 150% increase, at the end we will have 300+% FPS more 
Morning
Upgrade required
my game should be at the latest version. I only installed the game like a week ago
Part of the new rebalamce. Using cheaper rounds require barrel upgrade by default
I see
It's not expensive for Mosin
I was just about to ask lol
Yeah, figured you'd ask that lmao
Normal technicians should be able to do it
It's not a high tier weapon, so anyone can
oh epic, I just made it to the i think duty base? noontide island or sum I KNOW theres a tech there
dont insult my glorius mosin 
Duty base has a tech, noon too, but it won't be accessible until you progress a bit.
Noon does not trust you right away, so you'll have to wait a little
I love the mosin 😌
its OK to be wrong
Cheapest rifle should come in handy so, it does not suck at all
I noticed, I have to do a bunch of missions before I can do anything with them
yes it is, you seem familiar with that concept
There is an svd hidden somewhere in wild Island, so it's up to him to seek it out and decide if he's gonna do a swap or not
I have seen it happen many a time yes, this one, seems to be way way worse however
If he found it that is
I will be running around wild island now. no rock will be left unturned, then my mosin will go in a storage box and collect dust until my playthrough is over
2 missions I think and you'll be good to go.
I have several weapons in my private box that I know ill NEVER use
It's not easy to find tho
clue is its not above the ground 
oh GOD 😭
maybe my valik lumox AK (i know I spelled that wrong) and my mosin will do just fine 😌
You should be able to find it later in the story as you'd probably go it's way, but it's acessible earlier, so it's up to you to actually find it before that
I refuse to switch out my AK I have several better rifles. this one just has too much sentiment and I've gotten used to the PU scope thats locked to it
Upgrade will be a bit trickier, so ig use that time to loot a bit of higher quality ammo meanwhile
good to know...
ahhh it'll be fineeee ill just have to do a bunch of side missions
Not sure if mid techs will be able to handle the upgrade. I honestly forgot.
oh I have a question acc, I was using the cheap ball ammo on my mosin earlier today like literally 3 hours ago, why cant I use it now? I doubt that update you spoke about came through that recently
Either way, you may find other svds while running around in other areas.

Dw about it
interesting
I can assure you that there are plenty of stuff to come by. 
Just explore around and manage your inventory well to be able to carry the new finds when you need to
perhaps I shall...
Yeah, and there is a monolith suit + a bit of other stuff hidden close to you in wild Island.

It's relatively easy to find, but it would require a jumpscare and a sudden fight to secure 
Look for a cave
When’s next update. Just got mods installed
Don’t wanna have an unplayable stalker when an update rolls around
I dont think theres a date yet
Alright then. Also just got a bunch of incompatible mods going on so gotta deal with those
Will move it to mod gen
There haven't been any updates on SteamDB for a week now. My guess is they’re preparing the engine update
yeah i hope the engine upgrade patch comes soon
after that they would probably take a couple of weeks at the minimum to get it patched up to a very stable state and then we can start hoping for the DLC
Are those stupid zones on red forest where you just get the radiation meter on red when you walk in actually avaible to walk there or just some kind of “not here” sht
yummy corium
im gonna steal it
Wouldn’t be surprised if engine update and DLC are simultaneous
That would be too much to ask I'd say
Dunno if that's realistic. My guess is engine upgrade first, hotfixing and then DLC
dont you think its risky?
We shall find out in due time
i'm gonna lick it
Hell yea
because i dont think UE swap or DLC will be smooth. multiple hotfixes will be required
aah, but you're under the impression that hotfixes are a priority, how silly of you
coldfixes
Ice cold
they better give me binoculars and a online bubble large enough to use it before doing any DLC
and you say im silly
how am i supposed to stalk people without binoculars?
Use your eyes :3
do you have the slightest notion of how binoculars work and how using eyes is an integral part of that? 
Yeah just use them without binoculars lol

Has anyone played Radiophobia? Is it worth giving a go?
i havent tbh
never!
Did it once. Wouldn't recommend
👆 username relevant
No
I mean, it's not really worth giving it a go
I'd say only get it if you like the graphics and the new mechanics, but only if you really do
Idk if the new patches fixed my problems with it, but it not only changes the story, but the new additions are amateur at best. And the AI was pretty much stupid. And the graphics imo were just "another grey-ish mod"
Maybe check if the new patches changed those. But imo, theres better mods to replay soc with the samey story, or some that change it a lot and are great too
In fact, check this document if you want: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/2/d/1GgBFCRIbc7TQ5DwWHvWaridX1G64PYoWItkLyr3pBPk/edit#gid=0
Many mods to look out for
hi there loners, is there any mod which makes the zone complete random? weapons, armor etc in other locations for a "really new game" experience and new exploration? thx
I just want a modern overhaul of the trilogy tbh
Soc 2.0 update
The un-named stashes do that
should I be carrying vodka in general for all the jonesing soldiers out there needing it? Figured Radaway was good nuff
is multiplayer out yet?
no
what even is the point of stalker without multiplayer smh
welp
Hello, when washing clothes mechanics?
WHEN fishing mechanic
never
Motherfu…..
New artifact: live fish
Effects = +10 rad
-2 endurance
+0.5 bullet cap
And hostile to all living stalkers based on the smell alone
BUT friendly to fleshes

Meow :3
You can try this one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hlTI1LSwJ2zcNm1n0WAZqaKq18QZw29P/view
Its a modpack in ogsr made by Shen
Or you can try stuff like Memories of the Zone or SoC update
Thought I could smell something fishy 😄
Never will be released
The intern blew up their officer
Fr no cap

Me: ow
Down by the border where the tuna fish play
Tracksuit Hitman finger blasts fish in every way.
