Guys, whoever wants to play it, do another run and that's it. It's pointless to create controversy just to shovel against GSC. If they decided that way, we can't do anything about it. Of course, I would also have liked improvements to A-Life, bug fixes for the poltergheist Bure and company, but it's not in this update, the fix will surely arrive. It's useless to shoot nonsense. Whoever wants to replay it, whoever bothers you, wait, what the hell, everything is always an endless controversy, you've pissed me off...

Shadow wasn't bad, considering the choices I didn't mind, it's certainly open world and always Ubisoft style, there's not much you can do

[magic escarp]

The worst part about updating STALKER 2 is the fact that Steam moves like old people screw when it’s patches the files.

[oblique igloo]

its your pc old

[magic escarp]

No, I have an Xbox Ally X

It probably might not help that I downloaded it on a MicroSD card

If it lets me share my screen for the new update.

At that point just post it in screens and videos

Hey how do I trigger the dlc? My story procession is at the point of no return.

[vernal lily]

You're cooked

[shell oak]

Please don’t tell me the devs decided to make it a permanent miss. PLEASE!!

[vernal lily]

Has to be before sircaa is all I know

[shell oak]

🤦🏽

Whoever decided that decision needs a really good slap. Big L moment.

Really unfortunate because I’m not going to spend hours just to trigger a dlc.

[shell flax]

So an update on this it’s before the first Duga assault

I guess I'm not cooked then

You need to be after meeting Scar in the barn, and before when you go to SIRCAA. Talk to Diode at the Slag Heap

[feral horizon]

Oh so that' basically impossible with my end game save file.

[edgy charm]

really sucks how they have implemented the new x18 story line. i dont feel like throwing my 50 hour play through in the bin just to try one story line... it should have been made available at any time before the point of no return.

[obtuse veldt]

That is why I'm waiting for summer dlc

[edgy charm]

we shouldnt have to..

[obtuse veldt]

I'm waiting cause I know things

Once you datamined the game, some extremely radioactive areas start to unlock over patches I have noticed

[edgy charm]

okay that's great but doesn't mean much when you need to restart your playthrough because the devs were not considerate enough to make sure to find a way to include everyone who purchased their game!

Sadly true. Most dum decision by the devs.

[obtuse veldt]

I wonder if the SCP foundation has agents over the zone.

[shell oak]

Basically they didn’t care or didn’t care to notice.

[shell oak]

Exactly for only a small dlc content.

[obtuse veldt]

This ain't even DLC

Just a recap of things to come

[shell oak]

New content. New story. New mission. Whatever you want to call it.

I’ll come back when the devs actually do it right.

[vernal lily]

see you later I guess

I'll probably come back around, somewhere during the summer tbh

see if anything changed

[candid nest]

sorry to interrupt your conversation, saw you were all talking about the dlc and I had a question, new here so dont really know where else to put this sorry, have they said anything about when cost of hope is going to take place? have a 72 hour game save and really havent considered starting over to play dlc for this game

[sterile radish]

got excited from the ping, only to read the patch notes

[shell flax]

Post first Duga assault most likely

[candid nest]

ive read on some websites that it is gonna take place between wishful thinking and down below, and i have the down below quest step as a manual save to keep playing just worried im going to have to start over and get all the way back to that step to play the dlc

[barren canopy]

Jeeze had to speed run the entire game today to get that quest.. one master, heh

[magic vault]

Is Sidorovich radio not playing in the new update?

[barren canopy]

Really cool area, good use of a QR code, interesting door lock puzzle, all for the future expansion.

And new wall texture, lol

Luckily I can outfit myself in complete endgame gear outside of artifacts in about 3 hours. Permadeath taught me well

[low bison]

Is it just me or does duty and freedom both have a lot more exoskeletons now? I’m playing on master difficulty and last time I loaded up this 100% save there were a few exoskeletons but now it’s significantly increased

[barren canopy]

Its all just glazing for the upcoming expansion though

[barren canopy]

Post DUGA absolutely, they amp up just about every big story beat. However, I did notice bandits with GPs inside garbage, just coming out of the Lesser Zone.

Which is fine for me and all, more money early game.

[low bison]

Are y’all team duty or freedom for the new dlc?

[barren canopy]

Depends on how they will portray them, if Zulu is trying to bring back old Duty, sure. Sounds like a lot of dissatisfaction with Freedom from the new quest as well.

Currently though.. they can both die for abandoning their ideals.

[low bison]

for the new content how do i get it? do i have to start a new save for it or can i access it with me 100% save?

[low bison]

true it is a bit sad how they both totally lost their ideals as factions

[barren canopy]

It has to be when Wild Island opens, I think. I had to start a completely new game today for it

[low bison]

ah shit alright

well its worth starting a new save

[barren canopy]

I had two games at the point of no return, with no joy. So it has to be maybe pre Duga or Sircaa

Kinda, the area is fairly small, basically just talking about the DLC, its setting it up.

[wicked magnet]

Which moderator can I contact in private?

[barren canopy]

Like I said, I had to basically speedrun my permadeath run opener to gear with all endgame for it. On master.. you will want really good gear for one specific fight. It might as well be a boss room. I wont spoil it

The weird bolt is necessary for it on master as well, but that is part of my gear up run.

[burnt bridge]

Feel like gearing up will always be easy when gear is always in specific locations. Hella repetitive

[last saddle]

was master difficulty removed?

[solemn maple]

Dang it.
I literally just got PRZ and the clikrad mods running last night before going to bed. Now there's an update.

Don't worry, I'll start again (on Stalker difficulty) to play the new content and to do another ending

[sterile radish]

[sterile radish]

nah its cool. it feels insanely fresh to start again

i’ve spent too much time on my free-playthrough anyway

[stuck adder]

It is so good to have HUD after playing without it

[graceful dirge]

...More like "it's so good to lose HUD after enough familiarization with it"

[cunning geode]

I have done a Strelok and Ward ending so far what is the next best one.

[drifting flare]

The skif ending is my personal favourite

[dull apex]

So Sealed Truth is out right?

[drifting flare]

Yeah you can do the mission before sirca you just speak to diode at the slag heap

[dull apex]

Already beat the game. In an older Save.

[inland valve]

just had 1 ending in over 600 h.. current kif stays in the zone, waiting for free (unplayable) updates and further dlcs..

[proper karma]

so the dlc coming this summer, is it a continuation of the story? or something you might need to start over for?

[hardy totem]

We know for sure it may or may not be one of those two options

[proper karma]

I just beat the game and I find it a little annoying I can't just explore the rest of the map, or like an ending that is specifically catered for that purpose

That way I can bring all my fancy equipment I earned into new content as it comes out rather than starting over or keeping a very old save

[graceful dirge]

Presumably will be continuation of story post-SIRCAA (and more likely post-1st Duga Assault based on narrative surrounding D4 Treaty Collapse) and would be smart in same hindsight as past 2 updates to save some manual saves scattered before/after various main story decisions, but it's probably more likely that Cost of Hope arriving with 2.0 & engine upgrade may even brick all prior saves and require fresh playthrough because new game version, regardless of its additional story content access point so likely restart then, and good idea to keep a few earlier manual saves before some of the major player decisions in case of more future content that is only available in certain window as with Unsealed Truth

[proper karma]

I mean to begin with I find it pretty odd there's new story content that is set earlier in the game that you need to save an old file for (or restart entirely) because the story cuts off at the end. Seemingly filling the gaps of a completed game, when most games I've played do dlc/additional story content post-endgame. A bizarre structure indeed

[primal nimbus]

Looking at #📜┃gsc-answers , do I have to make a new playthrough to play the new quest? Currently need to talk to Scar at Malachite

Thanks! How can you find it? Will it show up as available side activity on the map? I’ve found an old save from the “Hot on the Trail” mission. However, I cannot find this quest on the map after updating the game.

Somethings dodge, out of the blue adding me... hmm

yeah I should of done that in hind sight...

[small quest]

at this point why not just hide a keycard in the world or something — storylocking is odd.

[inland valve]

just smth like : diode calls u: hey man, i forgot.. ther eis smth special to do.. come on by.. lets talk

but no, its storylocked 😄 ^^

hunter dlc wasnt story locked, radio guy quest wasnt story locked.. so why .. i wonder ^^

i think they are known for this kinda esoteric thinking — just seems a little convuluted to me

[lean heath]

I have a question: so I started a new game and visited an abandoned village south of Zalissya that seems to frequent blood suckers. I found a pda that stated with a voiced recording that the stone statue in that village was moving. I was going to write it off as the guy either hallucinating or 'losing blood' as he claims but you can hear the sound of stone moving in the background of the recording as it goes on. Soo...is there something special about that statue? Anomaly perhaps?

[wind thunder]

but they are

[charred nova]

Women drivers am I right

[wind thunder]

reasons why I don't let my gf drive my porsche 911:

I don't have a gf
I don't have a porsche 911

[charred nova]

I was gonna say you a fucken 911

[main jewel]

whats a woman

[main jewel]

sometimes i think this guy has like the iq of a sloth

and other times the iq of a tiger

but this is not one of those times..

[covert silo]

stalkers, quick confirmation, please: I'm on my master playthrough, already talked to diode. Will the new questline appear for me if I just go there and talk to him? Kind of at the begining still, will enter the swamps "AD Astra" soon.

[serene barn]

if you have been to SIRCAA it won't trigger the mission and people have reported being locked out from doing it at all that playthrough

[still current]

[delicate blade]

Anybody else get a ping in the UA channel a few hours ago?

Those guys seem kinda rude. Refused to even answer. At least, if they answered me, they didn't bother to tag me.

[still current]

Why would you get one?

[delicate blade]

To answer why I got pinged. This is a very simple logical answer to a question that was directly asked of the question channel.

As for why in general? No clue.

It seems the original ping was deleted.

[still current]

Everyone ping is only reserved to CMs and not even mods can do it. It's probably a singular ping which means it was done by a user and likely by mistake since it was deleted

[still current]

We don't have announcement in individual chats, so it's simply a mistake from the way I see it

[delicate blade]

Which is wild, because who would ping me? Me specifically? Especially when I can't understand Ukrainian?

If it was a mistake, that's easy

'Oops, mistag.'

[still current]

Cuz it was a mistake you said it yourself. There is no reason to be pinged, but you did get it, and so it was a typo by someone trying to ping someone else with similar starting alphabets in their usernames which can happen

[golden gulch]

In all honesty I hope we the engine upgrade before the DLC come out

[still current]

I pinged plenty of peeps by mistake while trying to ping jack for example

[golden gulch]

Otherwise it would be pretty frustrated and 🐂💩 we don't have any big update for a year

[still current]

I rush and pick the name that pops up and it turns out I filled the wrong user name

[delicate blade]

Rahmi, I'm going to take you at your word. I think you do speak both EN and UA, and I think you did see this, but I think you also witnessed the accidental ping and are just helping someone else cover their social gaffe. So thank you, for doing what you do.

[forest tapir]

I don’t see a world in which we don’t because doing the engine upgrade first just makes 10x more sense

[still current]

Okay? What about the one who made it is no longer in chat? So nobody answered cuz they don't know.

Anyway, it's meaningless to keep overthinking it

[delicate blade]

Rahmi, take the win. I said you covered it. Thank you.

I am willing to let it go.

[still current]

Huh

Well, that's quite the assumption, but okay.

[still current]

We will.

[delicate blade]

Brother. Let it go.

[serene barn]

Iirc there was an @ here, ping in there.

[golden gulch]

I hope it won't be like 1 day before the DLC

[still current]

It doesn't work. @here

You see? Even for me

[delicate blade]

Thank you, Rain. I'm just confused, was trying to get a response. Rahmi stepped up, said it was a mistake. That's it.

[charred nova]

Krezzin has had fairly intelligent conversions with me before but usually it’s just this

[still current]

It's likely to be 2.0. Considering time frames and all, it should be around 2months/possibly 3 from now

[delicate blade]

I kinda hope it's with the DLC, so it's a single download

[still current]

Sometime close to dlc release but not so close cuz we would probably need to do some testing

[delicate blade]

Who wants to do two 16gb updates a week apart?

[charred nova]

2 to 4 months

[delicate blade]

I trust GSC has a solid QA department.

[charred nova]

[cyan sparrow]

😂

[charred nova]

Not with out our help

[cyan sparrow]

Lmaoooo

[still current]

I'm better at this than you jack leave predictions to me

[charred nova]

Piss off though you might be right

My track record is spotty

[delicate blade]

What in the... how in the... how do you say your name? Six consonants in a row is a no! (/s)

[charred nova]

I always predict way too far

[delicate blade]

I see a John, who's Jack?

[charred nova]

Me

[still current]

More than mine? I only got it wrong with this last patch. Rest since prerelease were rocksolid

[delicate blade]

I'm trying to make jokes. I feel like I dont do those well.

[charred nova]

Gsc is always mc delaying the game

[delicate blade]

Comedy has never been my forte. Just drama and apocalypse. Good thing my books are about apocalypse and the human condition, and not funny.

GSC is just Scar facing doing main quest stuff.

Ha, Jack. I speak English fluently and have offered my services as a translator (because I can read RU/UA) and they said... nothing.

I write books! Books that sell, even.

[charred nova]

The difference is we are gsc’s most loyal interns

[delicate blade]

Don't do that, Jack.

Don't remove your messages to make me look crazy.

[charred nova]

Some of us have a 5 year long track record of never leaking anything

[shell flax]

If this happens it’s not gonna be a moderately heavier security. If they catch even a hint someone leaked, they’re fucking gone

[charred nova]

Builds trust

[delicate blade]

Buddy, I been here since 2007!

[charred nova]

Okay and?

[delicate blade]

I got the dev signatures to prove it!

[charred nova]

Gsc don’t know you lil bro

[delicate blade]

Nah, I'm just a fan that loves the game and universe.

[still current]

I don't think it will be the case this time. Work should be ongoing or rather been for a while. So, I think it'll be fine this time

[delicate blade]

I pretend nothing. I bring my formidible experience as an author to the table, but they don't hire nobody remote.

[charred nova]

Pray they pull through and let skif romance mavka

[delicate blade]

Skif gonna romance a bloodsucker first.

Skif aroace af.

The faceless Arena announcer? Bro, you reaching.

[charred nova]

She’s literally in the dlc image bro

Claims to be the greatest zone scholar doesn’t know shit apparently

[delicate blade]

I'm a pleb that hasn't made it to X18 yet. Give pity. I need to pay bills and be an adult.

[delicate blade]

WOAH. I only claim to have been around. Like Nitro. Don't ask me shit. I'm dumb as a brick.

I met Nitro a few years back. Might have been more like 15. He's an old friend.

[ember cradle]

Looking back at the old SoC promo

[serene barn]

it literally worked when the dev did it, hence why we got the ping in there..

[shell flax]

he’s proving a point only GSC can do it

[odd sky]

I looted a very good habar

[delicate blade]

Wait, so I got pinged by a dev?

[drifting bear]

CM*

[delicate blade]

Community manager?!

I'm trying to give the same level of disbelief.

[charred nova]

you claiming im a CM or what im confused

[delicate blade]

I can't find the image, and it was deleted from the server, where I had some of the 'devs' (cms?) sign my SoC manual after the HoC 'debut' at PAX West.

The good news is I still have the manual. I'll find that.

[charred nova]

super prophet signed it for bro

i will admit that is cool

[delicate blade]

I'm not even trying to claim some weird thing or something. Just that I've been a fan.

I'm old school. Bought a copy of SoC from Gamestop in 2007.

[charred nova]

remember when gamestop sold pc games

i don't

[still current]

Lol, nobody in the mod team can, nor any other member aside from admins, so it's either magic or magic

[charred nova]

certified unc over here

[delicate blade]

Still have the manual. Had it signed by the guys at Pax West a year or two back for the demo for 2.

[charred nova]

gsc was cringe and never came to pax east

[delicate blade]

Jack, you're kinda looking... rude?

[charred nova]

so i couldn't go

[delicate blade]

I kinda literally said West so...

[still current]

[delicate blade]

Jack, you and me on a wavelength

I mean, we were

Jack, you making Rahmi look good?

[charred nova]

look PAL i don't get paid to be nice

I don't get paid in the first place

[delicate blade]

But

do you get paid? Damit, you beat me to it.

[marble gyro]

You don't get paid at all, I was about to say

[delicate blade]

He's over here, someone else's face stapled to his own, not even getting paid.

[charred nova]

yah handsome john is stapled to my face

[delicate blade]

Stapled*

French or German first, John?

I'm thinking German. Flawless, to a point.

[old aurora]

How do I remove this media role?

[weary hedge]

So i guess GSC doesnt want us to play S2 since they always add new missions with each update that require you to be between a certain set of quests...gone too far in the main story? wellp sorry about your luck, start over!

[delicate blade]

By the way, I may sound critical, but you're better than about 99% of my fellow Shiterticans. Sorry, I mean Americans.

[old aurora]

I don't want to get notified every like couple hours of a video

How do I remove the role?

[charred nova]

https://gif.fxtwitter.com/tweet_video/HFoG0xQakAcpvYj.webp

[delicate blade]

Jamie, it's to encourage you to do a new run.

[river chasm]

That's how a lot of the side quests already worked

[weary hedge]

ppl alrdy memeing this retard

[delicate blade]

If you aren't doing a fresh run every two-three weeks, are you even really a fan? (Said with full sarcasm)

[charred nova]

idk who that even is

[old aurora]

Moderator please remove my media role

[bitter plover]

probably by unreacting this
#media-notifications message

[charred nova]

literally can't

i can't remove roles

[weary hedge]

your avergae liberal

[delicate blade]

Gross

[charred nova]

alright guys please we can't get political

[delicate blade]

you sound like a red hat

[old aurora]

He's not a retard. He's a dude suffering from severe psychosis and he thought the homeowner was a fictional character that was raping his daughter. He tried breaking in to save "her" (she doesn't exist)

[charred nova]

dude what

this is some insane lore

[weary hedge]

yea...a retard. 🤣

[delicate blade]

Okay, the word 'retard' is not polite. Most people, either side of the aisle, agree with that.

[old aurora]

Why be rude to someone suffering from psychosis?

[charred nova]

alright

this conversation is over

[old aurora]

Kk

[bitter plover]

this conversation is what? ...Over.. radio noises

[delicate blade]

Damn, Handsome. We were having fun before this.

[charred nova]

this the moscow metro do you read me static

[ancient fractal]

Reddit final boss

[delicate blade]

No, the Metro has notroriously bad radio.

[charred nova]

gem alarm

https://tenor.com/view/gem-alarm-gem-gemson-gapejak-wholesome-soyjak-gif-27193685

what's his name so i can look him up on twitter

[forest tapir]

Does Sealed Truth contain stuff meaning to hype up the DLC? I haven’t got to Hot on The Trail in my playthrough yet so I haven’t played

[charred nova]

yes

it contains a character directly hinting at the iron forst

and also the arg

[delicate blade]

spoilers

[forest tapir]

oh that’s awesome. I’m trying to get all artifacts and finish side quests while I wait for the big DLC

[delicate blade]

Damn, John, what are you, a doctor?

Anybody ever have like an extra 30 npcs at Sphere?

Also, anybody ever have the 'Take the Key to the Northern Checkpoint' stop dead at the Northern Checkpoint?

The message should say 'See the Gaffer' not 'Take the Key..." so on and so forth.

Is that really so different in UA?

I can't be the only Loner that thinks the Ward can stuff it.

John, did you do that to me again? Delete a message I reacting to, to make me look crazy? I mean, less crazy, since it was flow of convo, but still not on topic.

That's kinda rude.

Transparency is above singular pride. That should be the tenet of modern communications.

See my own server, where I own my gaffes and rep my books for reference.

Oh, John's done it twice in the last ten minutes.

Which is kind of weird. It's not even weird, or unkind to his own image.

[charred nova]

https://tenor.com/view/joe-gif-20430815

I find being handsome john funny because my dads name is john

[delicate blade]

Consensual joke about your father.

[bitter plover]

not only what John said, but there is also hint about internal tension between ppl inside Freedom. So again some lore base for DLC

[charred nova]

ill be Jeb instead

[delicate blade]

I love Freedom, esp as a US veteran. Duty can suck all of the it.

[charred nova]

ceo of minecraft over here

[delicate blade]

Jeb?

Isn't that the guy from the sex game?

[marble gyro]

?????

[cyan sparrow]

Someone mentioned VR sex game?

Role play with pole dancing nuns?

[covert silo]

Oh good, I havent been to syrca cuz of getting them all artifacts and everything. I'll try to talk to the guy then, thank you.

[bitter plover]

Jack, John, Jeb. Whatever J

[charred nova]

Im big J

THE BIG J

wait......

[delicate blade]

Jin? that you?

[hardy totem]

Joey

[vernal lily]

joe

[nimble tangle]

Does anyone know if the new expansion when it releases will be able to be played from before the last mission and "no turning back" warning?

(talking about cost of hope)

[bitter plover]

you mean the one with Island? OH NO, HES ALIVE, IT WAS ALL FAKE

[delicate blade]

Time to start a new run!

[charred nova]

im not palm beach pete

[delicate blade]

Why would there be new content after the 'no turning back' warning?

[main jewel]

you may or may not be palm beach pete

[charred nova]

you know for a fact i am not

i don't own a plane

[hardy totem]

You're Josh

[charred nova]

HELL YAH

[hardy totem]

Only you can prevent forest fires

[charred nova]

get me a skateboard

and some monster energy

IM JOSH AS FUCK

[hardy totem]

Isn't that Kyle though?

[charred nova]

no kyle drinks redbull

and works construction

[tame gazelle]

I love this game; I used a guide from Slag Heap to Malachite, when i spawned at Malachite a grenade exploded outside and someone died, I then get a notification that I completed the objective of killing Monolith Scouts from "On the edge" - the Zalyssia defend mission

[charred nova]

your just goated as fuck like that

[small quest]

has anyone deciphered if we are getting the any bug fixes in another patch before the DLC?

[charred nova]

no

[small quest]

reading back the log of GSC Answers and none the wiser.

Same with the engine update — is this before or same time as DLC?

[charred nova]

cargress has just passed a new bill banning gsc from updating the game until the engine update is ready

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJZGFRwuUSE

[cyan sparrow]

After Metro/GTA6 release

[charred nova]

we wont make it

[delicate blade]

After the release? Yeah, because GSC releases on human timelines.

[cyan sparrow]

Till 2027? Then eventually must be after The Witcher 4

[delicate blade]

Portal 3

[charred nova]

something like that

[cyan sparrow]

Having blast with Road to Vostok, did you had chance to play?

[charred nova]

no

[golden gulch]

I hope it would be less than that

[delicate blade]

Questions are so hard.

[cyan sparrow]

It's soo good, AI made me think more about long range, and short range weapons. Additionally close doors behind myself while looting houses. I strongly recommmend to the Stalker fans.

[delicate blade]

Answering them even harder. Looking at you, SHVEZS

[cyan sparrow]

me?

[delicate blade]

Yes.

[neon schooner]

With the amount of people asking for engine update I'm curious how many are going to actually play the game when it arrives...

[delicate blade]

1/10th at most.

[main jewel]

well the engine update generally will make the game look better visually, with the new engine also gsc can release more mod tools, also many more things can become possible like actual thermal scopes

also after the engine update gsc can focus on bugs and such

i think the engine update will come along side the dlc so

but quite w big huge chunk of players would come back

[delicate blade]

I think the fans of STALKER will always be here.

[tame gazelle]

isnt the DLC trailer in same engine version as we use now? looked pretty 1:1

[cyan sparrow]

If you addressing me, firstly read my nickname sincerely and correctly. Secondly cultivate the verb when you exchange X with S in your username.

[odd sky]

Hello Jeb

[bitter plover]

Its absolutely not same as we have now. Its either updated engine or its higher graphics preset in their build, that is not avaliable to us. Either way, its 100% not what we have

[main jewel]

no

its the newer engine

why would gsc make the dlc on the old engine

when the engine update comes before or along side the dlc

where has everyones iq gone bro

https://tenor.com/view/its-grim-its-peak-its-mid-old-man-it's-sunday-gif-8453053925671532900

[amber egret]

Question...in the new DLC quest in lab. Whats the code the the door near emiter? feel like i tried every combination and still cant figure it our

[tame gazelle]

aight thats cool

[amber egret]

Never mind....got it

[tame gazelle]

calm down lady its not that serious

[main jewel]

theres always a small piece of vasim in us

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/232710179496525824/1098151025745072210/attachment.gif

[inland valve]

look rightsided, if u see an 8 u can figure it out

[tall hawk]

where a-life went

[marble gyro]

Probably going to be like a Ark survival situation

People dropped the gane for it being too buggy ever since it went the ascended route

Then majority did not come back until 5.5 ue

And I gotta say, it's way more stable than base UE5

So might apply to stalker 2 as well

[tall hawk]

curious why people even care about player counts for a single player game

theres def gonna be a jump in numbers when new DLC drops

but yeah player numbers tend to stagnate/drop after launch because people beat the game

[charred nova]

I’m Jen from Minecraft

[wise pagoda]

Hi, yesterday i play the new update quest line then today i need to reset my windows and when reinstall i don't have any saves 💀 steam cloud is broken since yesterday update or what? i lost all my saves

[main jewel]

uh i dunno crow, with a game this big with this big of a map and quite alot of performance issues, gsc has to reconstruct a life slowly

they cant just

bring it back in one piece

[tall hawk]

nah bro I have a development build with all of a-life still in it

[main jewel]

it something that has to get better over time

[tall hawk]

but GSC only gives it if they think you're cool enough to have it

[neon schooner]

Because it's supposed to be multiplayer too someday

[main jewel]

not co-op

[tall hawk]

check stalker2 folder in AppData

see if it still has all the saves intact

at least that's where I think S2 saves are stored, I know that's where they are on GOG version

[neon schooner]

Because all we have are Garry's mod stalker projects which are dead

[main jewel]

mol1t said co op isn’t coming

in many gsc ask responses

[tall hawk]

players will prolly return for PVP as well

[tall hawk]

maybe a mod if we're lucky

[main jewel]

erm when they find out its just an arena slop thing many will be disappointed

people only want co op

[neon schooner]

I'm not asking for coop because I absolutely don't care about it

[tall hawk]

people who write off a game just because it's PVP or just because it's PVE are imbeciles

[main jewel]

thats one of the probably the most asked thinfs

errmrmm is there gunan be coop

[tall hawk]

actual petulent children who probably never ate their vegetables

[main jewel]

NOOOO

[tall hawk]

we should just ban people who ask for co-op

[main jewel]

i dont think current stalker 2 is genuinely built for co op

[tall hawk]

stalker was never built for co op

[wise pagoda]

Its empty because i reinstall windows but steam cloud is not suppose to have the saves?

[main jewel]

also i am not hopeful for the arena style pvp

[neon schooner]

We should get stalker 2 rp servers in stalker 2

[main jewel]

i mean the clear sky mod was cool i guess

[tall hawk]

oh you reinstall windows? IDK man if Steam Cloud doesn't have them and u don't have any other backups I'm sorry to save this u might be cooked

[wise pagoda]

Np mate thank you for the help, i like the game so much that even bother me to start again 💀 ty

[tall hawk]

yeah make sure to back up your saves to not just steam cloud, but another local folder on your computer in case cloud fails

[tall hawk]

it's probably gonna be fun

I just hope it has open mic VC

[main jewel]

i really dont know how gsc plans to do that anyway

i feel like the multiplayer was like a thing for people to see and get into the game

like a lure

and gsc either doesnt do it at all

or it comes in like 2030

[tall hawk]

if its just a bonus thing like the trilogy I'll be happy, as long as there are a handful more modes than just TDM/DM

[cyan sparrow]

risky say to a woman 'calm down' XD

[main jewel]

im not one of those

[junior jetty]

Yo guys how to get new update missions X-18??

[nimble tangle]

If you're in late game you can't. Which is absolutely ridiculous.

[charred nova]

Check pins

[charred nova]

Actually it’s awesome

[junior jetty]

Actually im in Point of no return xDd

[nimble tangle]

Regardless of the "lore reasoning" the fact no option for us late game players to still get a chance to play is stupid.

[junior jetty]

But i got manual saves after firstly entering every single location

[nimble tangle]

Awesome to make them lose players and interest if they keep doing it yeah lmao

[charred nova]

Indeed

[junior jetty]

So which location whould i load to get this quest?

[charred nova]

Pre sirrca

[bitter plover]

"Oh no, anyway" moment

[shell flax]

Pre first Duga assault

[charred nova]

Oh

[charred nova]

Me being told for the 1000th time gsc is doomed and all is lost

https://giphy.com/gifs/Ginghamsburg-nailedit-you-tried-tride-UBxc9nXMCxJI0KPZXz

[junior jetty]

And then where i can find Diode

[bitter plover]

you gotta hit them with " "

[cyan sparrow]

That's something new to me! My experience wasn't pleasant by telling that to a women in the past XD or when they used words like an narcissist I fought back with 'accountability' made them even more eager xDDDD

[shell flax]

Oh no we’re all stupid it’s pre entering malachite

[main jewel]

erm well actually i did have a save and putting it there actually makes that part of the garbage region part of the game more filling

[fluid beacon]

Went through the Unity last night and made use of the new quantum entanglement machine to bring in a few weapons. Worth it. Had to redo the hunter and emissary fight as the quantum machine quest didn't pop when I built the ammilery 😢

[main jewel]

well alot of women are uh genuinely actually stupid

[tame gazelle]

"EarlyX18Lab by sdwvit" Steam Workshop works wonders

[shell flax]

If you excuse me I’m gonna go paint a Picasso with a four gauge now

[charred nova]

This ship has been been supposedly been taking on water for some time now and yet it’s some how not sank yet

I mean consider this

Stalker 2 has more players than starfield most days

[main jewel]

the amount of bs i had to deal with in highschool sucked

[cyan sparrow]

🥹

[main jewel]

im glad im out of there

[charred nova]

Same

High school sucked

[nimble tangle]

Uno by Ubisoft probably has more players than Starfield that's not saying much lol.

[bitter plover]

thats true

[tame gazelle]

And Starfield is a generational game we all know. There has been no game before or since on that magnitude, that scope. Wow, Bethesda is the best 🌚

[shell flax]

Uno by Ubisoft is literally unplayable

[nimble tangle]

I play it weekly with my partner and her friend&partner

[shell flax]

Huh

[nimble tangle]

We're on Xbox

[charred nova]

Player stats for uno

[fluid beacon]

What game?

[charred nova]

Player stats for stalker 2

[nimble tangle]

Steam isn't the only place Uno can be played.

[charred nova]

I literally said uno

[cyan sparrow]

What is UNO

[charred nova]

It’s where men play uno

The lesser classes of gamer don’t matter here

[fluid beacon]

Thought everyone was unoing everyone's game comparison choice

[frigid hill]

abritishdanny has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[bitter plover]

that applies to Starfield and S2 also tho

[nimble tangle]

Messed up lmao

[cyan sparrow]

Two different games!

[charred nova]

Is the nature of things

Well hey the next Xbox is gonna be a pc basically so won't be far off

[charred nova]

Next Xbox will also be over 1000 dollars

[tall hawk]

snca

[nimble tangle]

Yeah, but it'll be better for couch gaming/people who have family/kids etc.

[fluid beacon]

1000 for an Xbox/pc is still a lot cheaper than building a pc which can play Xbox games

[charred nova]

Me when I plug my pc into the tv

And plug in the controller

[frigid hill]

abritishdanny has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[bitter plover]

maybe. Maybe even more

[tall hawk]

consoles attempting to justify their existence as anything other than just worse locked-down PCs with a ton of hidden fees is funny

[nimble tangle]

Yeah but HDR is broken most times on pc

[charred nova]

HDR narrative is fake news

You just have to calibrate it

[bitter plover]

thats just nonsense

[charred nova]

HDR isn’t nearly as broken as people claim

[nimble tangle]

I mean I've personally experienced that and I do know how to calibrate it.

[fluid beacon]

HDR does suck on pc, rtx HDR adds performance cost and windows auto HDR blows atm

[nimble tangle]

It's not as bad no, but still an issue.

[tall hawk]

how it feels to tell lies to ragebait

[bitter plover]

It depends on your TV/monitor calibration/settings and games HDR implementation.

[nimble tangle]

Well I've worked in IT for 15 years so.. 🤷

Not like I don't know what I'm doing but thanks lol.

[tall hawk]

working IT but doesn't know how to set up HDR 😭

[fluid beacon]

Also most screens people use for HDR aren't actually true HDR, either oled or MiniLED with fald zones for true HDR experience, none of this HDR 400 or 600 rubbish

[nimble tangle]

Yet I do. But thanks bud.

[charred nova]

True

Oled is required for real hdr

[nimble tangle]

Yeah people fall for that a lot. A TV that's say 400 bucks is not going to have any decent HDR.

I got a G5 and I've never been happier since that purchase.

[fluid beacon]

If you aren't flash banged by your screen when loading into Crimson Desert it's either Oled brightness or not true HDR lol

[tall hawk]

you just disproved your own argument 😭

"muh PC HDR is broken"

[nimble tangle]

How? I said I've experienced HDR on PC being broken. Please link me where I say MY PC HDR is broken.

I'll be waiting.

[charred nova]

Fuck my hideous chud hdr life

[fluid beacon]

Unfortunately HDR on pc is a bit shit, needing to babysit and bandaid it into games with bad implementation is not for the average user, where as console is what console is plug and play with minimal setup

[nimble tangle]

Exactly.

Which plug and play is more for family's and people who don't have the time to fiddle with it as I said earlier.

[fluid beacon]

When are we getting Microsoft windows HDR console implementation?

[charred nova]

Like Germany at the battle of the bulge one victory only to lose to war against overwhelming odds

The pc arrives to crush the non believers

[nimble tangle]

Why else does the PS5 sell so many hardware units. Crazy how many total PS5&Pro consoles have sold now.

[charred nova]

Fun fact the Xbox series 70 percent of the user base is the series s

[fluid beacon]

100% pc is better but need to learn to caress her beautiful body first

[nimble tangle]

Yeah, the series S I believe is bought by parents as their children's first console.

[fluid beacon]

Series s needs to die

[tame gazelle]

why hate ur kid 🙁

[nimble tangle]

Ooof lmao

[charred nova]

Kids need to wise up and get to work

[nimble tangle]

Xbox is definitely better for online gaming, easier to use, better party chat etc, but everything else pretty much I'd say goes to PS.

[charred nova]

I’d if I had my way they’d be working 18 hours in the ai mines

[fluid beacon]

Jack for world President

You'll always be Jack to me

[marble gyro]

She ain't Latina, so you are fine

Tell a Latina to calm down and it's hell on earth

[fluid beacon]

My wife ain't Latina but has a gorgeous ass so maybe somewhere along the lines but definitely fire when told to calm down 😂

[marble gyro]

My gf is Latina, she'll rip me a new asshole in consciousness, all hole no ass

[olive goblet]

Luckily there no latinas in the Zone

[visual mortar]

the average mind will always buy average paraphernalia

[visual mortar]

"luckily"

listen here pal

[marble gyro]

Why does this matter?

[charred nova]

Bro is bad mouthing latinas

[visual mortar]

we should kill this guy

i happen to be fond of those

[wind thunder]

tbf

slavic>latina

[marble gyro]

Hit or miss

It's all about preference

[snow storm]

helllo

[snow storm]

why are y'all talking about latinas in the first place 😭

[tall hawk]

locked in

[snow storm]

lock him*

[wind thunder]

dont ask me

[snow storm]

idk what stalker to start with ngl, i just came because i love post apo games but idk which to start with

[tall hawk]

latinas tbh are such a vanilla preference

[tall hawk]

shadow of chornobyl

[snow storm]

dominant women are better

[tall hawk]

literally play them in release order

[snow storm]

is it needy?

[shell flax]

Release order
SoC
CS
CoP
S2

[wind thunder]

start with the trilogy, Shadow of Chernobyl, then Clear Sky, then Call of Pripyat, if you feel like it, you could try Anomaly after that or Stalker 2

[tall hawk]

anomaly is slop

[snow storm]

i dont have S2 but i have the other games also in enhanced if that changes something

[wind thunder]

I like it

[tall hawk]

if you have enhanced just install the OG versions u got for free with em

they're better trust

[wind thunder]

haven't played enhanced but OG is better

[snow storm]

do i need a beefy pc tho?

[wind thunder]

not really, the OGs run on half a potato

[tall hawk]

not for the OG games. My integrated graphics craptop can run the games just fine

[snow storm]

yay

[tall hawk]

stalker 2 needs a good PC tho

[snow storm]

my is a bullshitocrapotatotrashtop

[wind thunder]

yea, thats the main reason I did get a new PC

[snow storm]

yall think i could run fallout 4 ?

[wind thunder]

specs?

[snow storm]

lemme get u that

[wind thunder]

actually, you know whats better than both a slavic and a latina girl? a god fearing, christian woman
can I get an amen?

[snow storm]

goth dominant women

[tall hawk]

I ran out to walmart the week S2 was coming out so I could get a new GPU 😭 spent all the VISA gift cards I had and then some

[tall hawk]

this is such a basic ahh preference twin

[wind thunder]

she can be goth and somewhat dominant, I don't mind

[snow storm]

any women works tbh

[tall hawk]

who says they can't be that?

[snow storm]

i especially like dominant ones

[wind thunder]

no one

[tall hawk]

trve... unfortunately we're all chuds on the stalker official community discord server...

[wind thunder]

[snow storm]

[snow storm]

i alr play NV but i dont have F3

[wind thunder]

[snow storm]

yep im sad now, thanks laptop for being so ahh

[wind thunder]

my last PC had an i7 2600, 8gb ddr3 and a gtx1050ti 4gb vram, it ran quite fine

[snow storm]

the only thing i have weaker there is the gpu

[wind thunder]

check the minimum requirements, I don't remember them well

[snow storm]

and on top of that i dont need much more ram since i use linux instead of windows

[wind thunder]

the i7 2600 is on par with like 13th gen i3

[snow storm]

they seem fine to me i checked

[snow storm]

mine is an i3 13th, its just called n305

[wind thunder]

current pc is light years away in terms of performance

[snow storm]

i get 75 fps at max graphics

[snow storm]

it dropped to 35 when i started talking to the fat russian man

does food heal?

[balmy kestrel]

Blud

[ancient fractal]

Sometimes

[snow storm]

bread and sausage?

[charred nova]

Me when I eat expired meat to regenerate health

[ancient fractal]

Why can't I eat chimera

[snow storm]

why do i see weird invisible waves that when i get close i get static and it bips..? is it transparent anomaly?

[dull apex]

So how do I start the quest if I'm at endgame?

[dull apex]

Psi-Radiation

[charred nova]

You don’t

[snow storm]

[charred nova]

[dull apex]

So the Diode quest doesn't work if you finished everything?

[charred nova]

Yup

[visual mortar]

[hardy totem]

[snow storm]

so i launched the f4 launcher and it detected my capotatoshittop to be able to run it at ultra quality 💀

[stray echo]

damn so sad that the stalker cards are limited to the stores in ukraine, im so close to ukraine yet so far

[wind thunder]

ladies and gentlemen, we gym

[wind thunder]

fallout 4?

[snow storm]

yup

[wind thunder]

also you have to limit fallout 4 to around 60fps otherwise the game engine tends to speed up and shit itself

[snow storm]

it seems to be stuck at exactly 60 fps anyways rn

[wind thunder]

vsync?

[visual mortar]

whats with you and teeth lately? got a calcium fetish?

[snow storm]

🤷idk i just started the game without changing anything

[charred nova]

Big j was onto something eating baby teeth grants eternal life

[visual mortar]

jack just moves from one gross thing to the next

what's next? toenails?

freak..

[charred nova]

[snow storm]

aigh so cutscene : 60 fps 🔥
proceeds to load game so i can make my character ; -50 fps nerf +low fps effect 😭

[nimble tangle]

Because my point is that many many people still prefer console gaming which is shown by the amount of units playstation has sold.

[charred nova]

ouugh

hey jeb when are you gonna remove the greeneyed freaks from Minecraft

[charred nova]

As can be seen here chat gpt agrees that ps5 sales are directly related to soy consumed

There for ps5 users are actually all retarded and not worth of opinions

[charred nova]

Soon I’m adding guns next

[visual mortar]

there space for

[main jewel]

he wants straight teeths

why is sony gushing out consoles when sony could make a pc instead

[visual mortar]

you're telling me a little magical whimsical lady doesn't drop of $10 when my teeth fall out?

[nimble tangle]

Xbox is gonna beat them to that with project helix lol

[visual mortar]

jackstats.com

[charred nova]

No there not

[main jewel]

dude i got like whatever change was in my fathers cup holder in his truck

10$???

golly

[charred nova]

That is the most inane cope I’ve ever read

[main jewel]

they underpaid me

[visual mortar]

damn I'm sorry

[ancient fractal]

No

[visual mortar]

your teeth were not worth anything i guess

[nimble tangle]

They're making a pc like console.. playstation aren't I mean that's literally the definition of beating them to it. Because Sony aren't even going to do their own.

[visual mortar]

i had pristine specimens

[main jewel]

everyone wants my teeths

[charred nova]

The Xbox is a rotting corpse dude

It has no games

The ps5 may have only 20 games

[nimble tangle]

My 600 games would disagree.

[charred nova]

But people buying it to play those games

[charred nova]

0 games I can’t play on my pc

[main jewel]

pause that thought cause the woman the new xbox ceo or something is actively finding ways to lower prices of gamepass

[visual mortar]

i remember one time i was so excited to pop out one of my teeth for the tooth fairy but i accidentally swallowed it and i was so upset because i thought they wouldn't come if I didn't have proof that it fell out

[nimble tangle]

If you're meaning EXCLUSIVE games. Then yes. But your "Xbox has no games" in English definition would mean not one single game has been ported/made for Xbox which isn't the case.

[marble gyro]

Not to burst your bubble, Santa clause and the Easter bunny is not real either

[visual mortar]

dude

what the fuck.

[charred nova]

Xbox has no exclusive games hence it has no games

[main jewel]

dude what the fuck bro

tampico is here

[charred nova]

The point of a console is exclusive games

[main jewel]

shut your ass up!!!

[charred nova]

He doesn’t know

[main jewel]

now hes gunna cry

[cyan sparrow]

There is NO point of a console xD

[marble gyro]

I'll bring the tissues

[charred nova]

Yah don’t listen to them Tampico Santa is real

[main jewel]

uh ngl i like my faster performance over ps5

[visual mortar]

Tampico Santa

[nimble tangle]

Not at all. But alright. 😂

[visual mortar]

Tampico de Santa

[nimble tangle]

It's ease of use, plug and play etc.

Literally every console in history was made for those reasons.

[main jewel]

also erm

i have a microsoft account
