CAN SOMEONE MAKE A MOD TO REPLACE THE PDAS WITH THE ORIGINAL ONES GOD

AND MAKE THEM 3D

#

or not 3d

#

#

im not sure about the 3d pda thing

#

what does 6.31 even mean

#

gsc what do da numbers mean

#

cause there is no 31 in june

proven hollow
iron wind
#

I think we are at 1.8 now?

dusky pawn
#

just a bug

dusky pawn
#

if it happened consistently it would be funny tbh

carmine star
dusky pawn
#

if it is its not working

#

also i wonder is kazkovyi meant to be under constant snork/bloodsucker siege

#

or rather are mutants meant to even spawn there at all

#

cause i know there is a population bug but i feel like its not really a good idea to allow spawning so close to a hub

#

on the other hand i guess it does lock down so it seems intentional

carmine star
#

Working as intended at this point, 1.8 and all that

dusky pawn
#

also i have confirmed that the village in the prologue is indeed a static flesh group spawn so you can use that ig

It’s actually really funny the only reason it’s even dropping is because Mac OS is dropping support for OpenGL

That's wild

In a wild twist, I got an email saying my physical edition will ship soon. I didn't think it was possible

Dang I can't post images. Need the "it's been 84 years" meme

that would just be a game over scenario

untold timber
charred nova
#

you give up all free will and join the monolith

#

sounds like a game over scenario to me

marble gyro
#

Skifs determination for getting a new apartment is more important than joining monolith

untold timber
#

Sounds like an absolute win to me brother.

charred nova
#

i told mol1t hope he makes an announcement

#

after the skif ending

#

and then gsc doesnt make a new stalker in 16 years

#

Oh nice, just in time for Lexa schitzoposting 😄

Stalkers so in one of the patches was mentioned you can get kupons on dead stalkers now ? I did encounter in stashes rarely, but never on dead bodies … is it specific faction?

marble gyro

I know they are in stashes but I'm unaware if they are on dead stalkers

where do i report stalker 2 bug

#

floating frogs

stark crescent
#

floating frogs?

#

lol. i remember first time i saw a floating frog. dont think its a bug. some anomaly fields are small, but enough to make small animals float in the air

main jewel
#

thats a feature

shell flax
#

That’s not a bug, that’s an actual anomaly in game smile_degtyarev

main jewel
#

they are supposed to do that

#

now what is a bug

#

is

#

GSC WHY CANT WE FISH FOR THE ZONES FISH

Also if it was a bug I guarantee it would be so at the bottom of the priority it’d be crushed into diamond smile_scar

Hedgehogs also run straight up walls but it’s such a minimal thing I genuinely don’t think GSC would even put it on the list currently lmao

maybe after an emission go check the same place

tthere may be a

For mods

they absolutely hate the idea of modding

im glad xbox is more lenient on the idea

#

xbox microsoft

the only microsoft w

upbeat depot
#

it sucks, but I know it will be worth it when it arrives, because I'll basically somewhat have gamma

main jewel
#

beware

#

some mods may be lethally outdated

#

and check to see if some mods are compatible

shell flax
main jewel
#

the game notifies you if mods are conflicting

#

but sometimes it doesnt matter

upbeat depot
#

I'll have to see whenever I get them, I'd have to see a list of all mods and go down the list lol, but we will cross that bridge when we get there

main jewel
#

like oxa and craftable and lootable conflictions

#

is like

#

the upgrade menu

#

with the rails

#

but i think oxa overwrites the thing so

#

but it works completely fine

#

on other handles x16 scopes and oxa conflict so badly that when you aim in with the svd the gunn just disappears

#

and every gun is like misaligned

#

when you aim

upbeat depot
#

I'd have to make a list of all the mods I currently have, and see which conflict with eachother, but I guess it's trial and error

main jewel
#

well by now i can probably tell you what does or doesnt work

#

and if you have any issues

#

the big mods that change alot of things have their own forums

orrrr

I have a random question. After stalker 2 is finished. Should GSC remaster or remake one of their older games?

robust pendant
#

No

shell oak
robust pendant
#

Unless they want easy money

#

Which uh, probably they do

robust pendant
shell oak
shell oak
#

Just in case if GSC needs more time and money for Stalker 3.

robust pendant
#

None needs it tbh

still current
robust pendant
#

They just need patches, which they can still launch but wont

still current
#

But all 3 got a remaster

#

XD said

shell oak
still current
#

Yeah, LoTZ

#

The one that are currently sold are remasters

#

Bot like they needed that anyway

shell oak
#

Are remakes a good idea? Such as modern graphics?

robust pendant
#

No

#

Only puts away the original product without caring about the intent and care that was behind it, in 95% of cases

still current
#

Well, it's a remaster under enhanced edition title.

#

Since it's not really that deep

robust pendant
#

If you want graphics, you have plenty of mods too

shell oak
#

Makes sense.

still current
#

On what engine?

robust pendant
still current
#

Yeah

robust pendant
still current
#

Trilogy remake on unreal engine is diabolical all things considered lnao

#

I mean, what's CS without alife

robust pendant
#

Basically, yeah

still current
#

Not gonna happen

robust pendant
#

Just play mods tbh. The same thing but you are not getting charged money for it

shell oak
marble gyro
#

And do the same thing like Bethesda????

#

Helllllll naaaaahhhhhh

trim zodiac
#

Using the Zone Kit for Stalker 2, is it possible to add different LODs for things such as foliage? (to avoid using nanite)
No clue where to ask this, as there doesn't seem to be any forums / communities for Stalker 2 modding specifically. I apologize if this breaks any rules here.

shell oak
#

In my experience paid mods took away bugs and crashes versus the free mods. Just my experience though.

#

Like in Starfield.

#

I wouldn’t mind seeing some paid mods in stalker 2. Especially the achievement friendly mods.

is engine upgrade in 1.9? will be surprised if it's not, but maybe they'll delay it to 2.0

#

at this point it's suppose to get tricky for them to support both branches of the game (old engine vs new)

#

bug fixing both and etc

#

unless 1.9 will have just some minor updates, maybe poltergeist fix finally

next update will be engine upgrade and binoculars, it'd be ridiculous if it wasn't seeing the 2025 roadmap

will be wild if no or very small amount of performance gained after all this engine upgrade

stark crescent
#

Engine got upgraded. Performance increase. 1.2%

#

But atleast you can see skif's face in the reflection of a rusty car hood

golden gulch
#

We're so @#$&ed

stark crescent
#

They added like 10 different technologies that basically do the same thing. Real time reflections.

#

Something that can be achieved using juat directx12

#

Its one of those technologies that many different people will "invent" until one unified name for it becomes the norm

#

And unreal 5 is retching heavily with an abundance of technologies that make stuff look prettier. But not a single note about performance increase.

#

Optimizations need to be done on the developer level. Cant expect unreal engine to fix your incompetence.

charred nova
#

see but other people have been saying simply using the newer engine yields higher performance

proven hollow
#

heart broken mol1t has betrayed us again

stark crescent
#

It depends. If gsc upgrades just to the newer engine, it might increase performance. Its like patching your drivers. It might yield better results.

But.

And this is why this probably takes so long. Gsc would be stupid to not also add all the shiny new technologies that comes with the engine upgrade. And this in turn decreases performance.

#

So what are they working on rn? Implementing shiny new graphics options, while trying to increase performance.

charred nova
#

or maybe there further optimzing to allow larger bubble

#

Or they could be doing both

#

both are possible

How was strelok initially able to bypass the brain scorcher? Ik scar did so by going thru the red forest and Lymanks but how did strelok do it thru the tunnel again? Also why didn’t more stalkers just go thru lymansk… like sure the bridge was up but surely someone would’ve found a way to get there esp considering we saw a merc there whilst going thru lymansk

proven hollow
#

as for why more stalkers didn't go through lymansk it's because they were shot by the glorious monolith

stable warren
#

Yeah but like the monolith was also where the brain scorcher was too so like… brain scorcher or not monolith always there

#

Also how did scar know brain scorcher didn’t hit Lymansk again?

# shell oak Should GSC charge money for mods on Stalker 2? That would help them and the mod ...

I agree that they should be charging money for mods, but the problem here lies in this: if 1 mods charges money, all of them will. No matter which, even if its just a mod adding 2 guns ripped from another game.
Of course I wish I could pay for mods like Goldsphere, Spatial Anomaly and the such (moda for the trilogy) where they create a super interesting and detailed story with lots of great content. But then, you'll also have to be paying for stuff as simple as, idk, adding 2 new textures.
And its even worse in S2 because the full sdk to tweak every possible thing in the game is not released

#

So no, its not a good idea

#

It has been free forever, let it be like that. If you want to pay modders, find their paypal

#

In fact, you have people like Grok asking for donations on paypal with a damage/resistance modifier mod for mutants

smoky hawk
#

p sure you can fund the guys who made Spatial Anomaly

charred nova
#

Open a Patreon and ask for donations

#

Don’t create a culture of pirating mods

hoary crest
#

A healthy modding community keeps games alive well past their use-by date, hell, modding is THE only reason Bethesda is still even remotely relevant

smoky hawk
#

before you start philosophising about the nature of paid mods, you should first wait for GSC to add tools to actually make mods worth paying for

hoary crest
#

There is also the issue of modders kept the Stalker franchise alive until S2 came out, regardless of if you love or hate Gamma or Anomaly, they had a huge part in how well this iteration sold.

#

It would be a ludicrously large "f*ck you" to the modding community for the company to start making people pay for mods
