[strong wharf]

This was a life saver as I couldn't even play the trilogy on my pc lol I have 12th gen Intel and windows 11

[tender sand]

Yes, it was a guy called Decane who investigated the issue and apparently submitted for SRP. It's a bug where I saved during sidorovich dialogue when entering the cordon for the first time. It damages the script apparently

[vague ridge]

use one of the beta branches

[zenith pendant]

yeah say thanks to manowar, dude has been in gsc for over 20 years now and is still releasing maintenance patches for trilogy, man is a GOAT

[strong wharf]

Oh I already did and beat the trilogy last may

[zenith pendant]

Ohhh yeah that bug, it's really niche too, I read your post

[strong wharf]

A king

[zenith pendant]

I started finding lots of other places where it can manifest and it explained lost of stuff, e.g. one time minigun did not work for me and I was super confused, now I understand it was because I saved as "FIRE" audio ended

That bug was also really funny cause like 5 people submitted a bug report and when Decane asked for saves each and every one of them was like "sorry I already deleted them"

[zenith pendant]

beat it again they're good games

[tender sand]

I was doing a 2nd save to get the flash usbs and for some reason I kept overwriting my save instead of creating a new one

[strong wharf]

👑 some of my most favorite games of all time

[tender sand]

And by the time the bug happened, I had no save before going to the Cordon

[strong wharf]

man thats rough

[tender sand]

yeah, instead of going and talking to sidorovich I went and started looking for the SEVA armor usbs

But one of them is given when you're ambushed looking for Fang's PDA. I had to start another save and speedrun until that point

Now back to the point, this could have been fixed already lol

[zenith pendant]

The thing is, they're aware of SRP yet they did not port a single fix community has done over the years

Reinventing the wheel and sometimes "fixing" stuff that's not broken, they brought back some cut content under premise of fixing faction war

idk man i could write an hour long video essay on why lotz sucks

just everything about it screams cheap port done so that xbox players know what stalker 1 is before the new game release

[tender sand]

They will experience code anomalies 🤣

Guys, have one of you tried any coop mods for the og Trilogy on pc?

There are no coop mods for OG trilogy but a few mods that recreate OG trilogy, I know one for SoC that’s really bad and one for CoP which is a bit more true to vanilla but has shitslinger unfortunately.

[molten nexus]

[zenith pendant]

Wrong channel then

[restive smelt]

In yalls opinion which order should I play stalker I only bought shadow of Chernobyl to try it out now I wanna complete the trilogy

[nocturne topaz]

Clear sky, Shadow of Chornobyl, Call of Pripyat, chronological order, and you get the worst one out of the way first

[tender sand]

Clear Sky was made with the intention of being played after Shadow Of Chornobyl. It's the same map, there's a lot of returning areas/characters. I don't know how to say this without spoiling but the story on Shadow Of Chornobyl has some secrets that the protagonist has to find out, and if you play Clear Sky, you might have an idea of what people you're looking for, what they have done, etc. It will take away some mystery from the game. It's just my opinion! They're all great games play as you wish

[summer hornet]

Play them in the order of release.

[restive smelt]

Thanks!

[strong wharf]

you can tell who lacks class and taste why if they say clear sky is bad

[zenith pendant]

If the intention was to get the worst one out of the way you would start with stalker 2

[strong wharf]

worst to best is HoC > CoP > SoC > CS

[nocturne topaz]

respectfully, I didnt say it was bad, I should have said weakest

CS was my first stalker game, like 10 years ago

[nocturne topaz]

you take that back

[nocturne topaz]

bro has that good good freedom kush

[strong wharf]

Ah fair lol

[zenith pendant]

Why would I, hoc is orders of magnitude worse than CS

[nocturne topaz]

does it have its problems, sure yeah, is it terrible, no. Idk i have 165 hours in it, and I've only got the ward ending so far

[wary osprey]

Oy, will this trilogy (Update) come to Windows?

[zenith pendant]

Unfortunately yes.

Hopefully as a separate store entry.

[wary osprey]

Why unfortunately?

[zenith pendant]

Why would you want to pay more for new bugs, removed multiplayer, censorship, changes that make the game easier, and a bunch of controversial gameplay stuff that stems from new devs not having a slightest idea of how the game is supposed to function?

Whatever little merit LotZ has in its addition of gamepad controls, it’s overshadowed by how bad of a port it is in all other aspects.

[summer hornet]

do you really think they'd remove multiplayer in the PC version?

[zenith pendant]

Absolutely, I’m sure its removal is a core engine change. If they were not going to remove it, why would they do it for consoles?

[wary osprey]

Idk the original's kinda jank

[summer hornet]

doesn't seem like a smart move to do it to the PC version

[zenith pendant]

LotZ is worse and introduces many new issues that are not present in PC versions.

Oh and you can completely forget about any form of mod support beyond retextures xd

[wary osprey]

This sucks then.

Like I wanted to play it back in January '22 (damn that was like an other life) but because of it's jank nature I abandoned it

[zenith pendant]

It isn’t. I think LotZ had the ability to breathe new life into it, but they just cut it.

[zenith pendant]

You have to accept it’s an old game, but it aged incredibly well. But nothing is going to change that — console SoC is still SoC. LotZ does not change it at its core, it is 99% the same game, just that there are lots of details that make it worse than legacy editions.

[summer hornet]

it will be ridiculous if the new update will "feature" multiplayer removal XD

[zenith pendant]

I can argue it’s not any less ridiculous for “enhanced editions” to feature it

[oblique knot]

ngl thought multiplayer already had its online desupported

[oblique knot]

idk i think the eurojank of it is the best aspect of it

[tender sand]

Respectfully my guy, as far as LoTZ, you like a broken record 🤣

These games were not supposed to be in console to begin with, it's a miracle we even have them

[zenith pendant]

Well the issues are still not fixed are they?

[zenith pendant]

That doesn’t excuse ports being that bad in every other regard

[zenith pendant]

Also the games were supposed to be on console btw, GSC got XBox toolkit back in 2008 and we’re experimenting with porting CS but unsuccessful. Also the entire idea of Anarchy Cell stems from Xbox 2 design document - back then they wanted to release completely different games for PC and console and the latter developed into Clear Sky.

[summer hornet]

who's experimenting with porting CS? SRP people?

[zenith pendant]

Mb, it's "were", not "we're". GSC were trying to put CS on an XBox back in 2008 but failed miserably. Think they got sub-30 framerate from just X-Ray running geometry with no game logic behind it.

[summer hornet]

Xbox couldn't take the awesomness of Stalker

[native zephyr]

what us the best mod

*is

[zenith pendant]

#🔩┃trilogy_modifications there are tons of different mods depending on what you liked in the games, some focus on freeplay aspect, some provide new stories, some try to restore old concepts and ideas, some move forward with new ones.

[summer hornet]

check the pinned messages in #🔩┃trilogy_modifications

[native zephyr]

Ok

[real terrace]

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Overton Window at work

[zenith pendant]

I merely answered a question. I know the dude already played vanilla so I do not have issues with new experiences. You appreciated Snowy's CoP mod more than you did vanilla CoP so I don't think you have much of a say here :P

You should instead look up my debates on Complete and ZRP I had in this channel. I even convinced a couple people to drop their mods and go vanilla.

[real terrace]

I'm not judging, just observing 👀

[real terrace]

well back in 2009 I properly enjoyed vanilla CoP for like 1 playthrough. Snowy's mod had the same issues most mods have, but it was aesthetically very pleasing cuz I love SoC, and also there was CS's hard-core interaction with anomalies

like i still played a ton of CoP since and I probably give it more grief than necessary for how much time I spent in it but I like to think my criticism towards the game is fair

[native zephyr]

yall, dreams are wierd, i completed my first playthrough of shadow of chernobyl yesterday, and before bed, my mom told me i had to get a haircut done, and i shit you not strelok was right next to me in the barber shop, and we were just legit talking about life

[summer hornet]

it was originally released on PC 15 years ago

they ported them recently

[native zephyr]

Ahhh, makes much more sense

Bruh why the hell is strelok a goddamn maniac in HoC? Like bro, he wanted to get rid of the zone and what is this now, man's acting like a monolith

[summer hornet]

idk, maybe ask in the stalker 2 channel

[native zephyr]

[zenith pendant]

LotZ is not, original legacy PC trilogy is. LotZ is coming to PC later this year.

@eager fossil when can we expect the changes of LotZ PS 1.0.8 to be available on Switch?

[oblique knot]

damn yk if they gonna delist original games?

[zenith pendant]

I do not, hopefully not.

It may be a separate store entry, branch or launch option

[oblique knot]

would be fairly annoying

happened for mafia 2 and few others i cant recall so thought id ask

[oblique knot]

different launch option would also annoy me

[summer hornet]

what did they do to Mafia 2? they replaced the original with a remake?

I can see "Mafia 2 (Classic)" on Steam

[hushed thistle]

I found a graphics bug in stalker 2

[placid stone]

Unpopular opinion : clear sky is objectivly the best game of the trilogy

and it's not my favorite (SoC is)

[zenith pendant]

I prefer CS but think objectively SoC is still the best.

You need to consider how much of what is common for stalker was new for SoC to truly see its value.

[north sapphire]

Will ever get gamma and other mods like that on console sorry if it’s been asked before

[zenith pendant]

No

Any engine mods are completely impossible with LotZ. And official mod.io integration prevents any gameplay changes, so best you’re going to get is cheap reskins.

GSC could lift some restrictions and allow some gameplay changes such as config and xr_logic, but no, Gamma is never coming to consoles.

[fickle lagoon]

Hey, have they talked any more at all about adding the updates and achievements that were added in the console versions to the games on pc aswell? i know they said they were doing it at some point in 2025 i think

[zenith pendant]

No there have been no news. We do not even know if those are coming as updates or separate store entries but hopefully the latter.

[fickle lagoon]

Personally i would prefer the former, but to each their own

[zenith pendant]

There are reasons you would want legacy versions to still be available, lotz is not just achievements and gamepad support on top of old games. This has been discussed many times before so I’ll just link the messages:

Interesting stuff

@eager fossil this does already list PC - should that be used for reporting trilogy issues that will no longer be relevant for LotZ (e.g. multiplayer or DX8-DX10 specific bugs)? Or is it just grounds for future LotZ PC port?

[weary mist]

Why not just lower game difficulty in settings?

[brazen lion]

I'm on novice just sucked until I found out its meant to be played slowly and methodically

[weary mist]

oh

[brazen lion]

I've now past the base at the start of the game

Like story wise

I just past the first cinematic tho so I've gotten further

[weary mist]

well, kinda yeah. you mostly want to go for headshots as enemies are a quite spongy especially mid-late game

хліб is bread

Nah it’s "bread"

Quote marks are essential btw

[weary mist]

it is basically a conserved meat stew. usually pork, but can be beef too, or a mix of both
and it is also known as tushonka (тушонка) which is kinda slang name

and for me it's funny to see how most of the world play stalker 2 and call these tuna cans.
but I can't blame them, that thing in s2 does not even look like tushonka. it's more as if someone killed a flesh, boiled it and put into a can. it even wiggles a bit and overall looks not like food. but such is life in the zone

[burnt prairie]

I saw a Theorx that said it was "Dead Stalker meat"

[zenith pendant]

Man stalker theories are one of the dumbest out there ngl

Especially considering we have so much development material that directly answers most of the questions and kills most of the theories as we legitemately know the dev intentions and what they meant

Yet people keep breeding stupid ideas into existence

[frail herald]

Sounds like asking the Loner what's new in The Zone: "Stalkers in the Tourist Breakfast apparently"

[zenith pendant]

The fact that GSC previously upscaled movies and used AI generative fill on loading screen got me thinking

Imagine if awaited "next-gen update" is just some lousy AI texture upscaling xD

[misty shuttle]

are they posting bad words specifically for that?

[strong wharf]

These are from scam bots who got banned

[uneven mango]

someone must've added things to the blacklisted words so that the bot catches them, to prevent people from clicking on links that will ask you to put in your account details so they can take your account.

From a timeline point of view, yes, and I also tend to replay them in that order, but for the first time, it's recommended to start with Shadow of Chernobyl to get the feel of these games.

interesting timeline you have here lol, i'm sure the person you're replying to is nto serious and is making fun of people suggesting to play cs first

You start with clear sky in lore order

can you read?

You said this though....

you gotta be american with how retarded you're being

lore is cs > soc > cop

seeing xbox tag on your account this now all makes sense

I missed that short cop, with no capital letters whatsoever. Obviously an oversight on my part. Thanks for the heads up! By the way, it's been a while since we've talked about the A-Life in CoP. Have you found anything yet?

[sudden pier]

Literally this

[sudden pier]

Hey, I'm on Xbox too, but I'm not retarded

[strong wharf]

the whole thing started cuz i told this guy he was wrong

in no universe does it ever go cop > clear sky > shadow

but people dont know how to read

[sudden pier]

But yeah, lore order is CS-SOC-COP, this is for people who only care about lore more than gameplay, SOC-CS-COP is release order, for people who care about gameplay

[strong wharf]

fr and that guy apparently didnt understand that

[sudden pier]

Starting with COP is heresy

[strong wharf]

ong man i had to call that out haha

[sudden pier]

It's either you start with SoC or CS

[strong wharf]

i always recommend SoC since CS has massive spoilers

[sudden pier]

Well yeah, that's true, but imo that way people will understand SoC better

[strong wharf]

since i have beaten the trilogy i'm tempted to do a CS > SOC > COP play order instead of the order of release way again

[sudden pier]

" Nah bro best order is COP-SOC-CS 🤓"

[strong wharf]

god that feels so cursed

[zenith pendant]

If you care about the lore you wouldn’t want to spoil soc with CS

There are multiple hints to a reveal in soc ending in literal first hour of the game

It is designed as a prequel, something you play after the original game to know what happened before

Stalker series is not meant to be played chronologically

[vague ridge]

if you care about lore then playing CS before SOC is going to harm your entry into the series bc SOC explains lore, factions and world information way more than CS, that assumes you already know these things and deepens them

@zenith pendant anything yet? It's been a while since you said you'd look into the A-Life "problem" for Call of Pripyat.

[zenith pendant]

Nah been busy last few weeks, and I still have to look into how to do it, maybe in april.

just consider me wrong for the time being

unless I prove you otherwise when I get the chance to actually code it in

[nimble cedar]

Yeah, I think the whole bubble thing is incorrect, since you said you've read on a forum, something a modder wrote, and it feels nothing like that in the actual game.

[zenith pendant]

The bubble thing is 100% correct and easy to verify in game. NPCs switch between offline and online. The thing that needs testing is whether they fight in offline or not.

You can change the distance of the bubble and see NPCs pop in,

[nimble cedar]

Yes, I've read the bubble is present in all of the trilogy titles. The offline fighting must be the case in Call of Pripyat too, given how I found the bandits from the Container Warehouse wiped out and the ones from the Checkpoint were also completely gone after a while, with Jack dying near Yaniv Station.

[zenith pendant]

Again, I can come up for an explanation for it if offline fighting were not to be confirmed by code. 150m is quite a lot, you could often see the results of skirmishes that happened just outside your vision. This needs further testing, not anecdotal evidence.

[nimble cedar]

I agree, but I find it curious that no one else has mentioned anywhere about Call of Pripyat lacking offline fighting, except for that modder you've encountered on a forum. So, that seems anecdotal as well. Being only 150 m away from such a big fight, like I presumed happened in the Container Warehouse, would definitely let you hear multiple NPCs firing their weapons. I'm 99% positive it happened while I was away from the Jupiter map for a longer time.

I have been enlighten to the past and I understand now🫡 Stalker 2 is still not that bad but if you played any of the previous games I fully understand why you might not enjoy it as much. Also ambush bloodsuckers can stay in the past thank you very much ha

If you haven't played the trilogy, it's even worse. Who the heck would go through all that aimless running around a gigantic map, with almost brain-dead AI here and there, if one had no idea about the past characters, their stories and their possible outcomes?!

I want to buy Clear Sky in Xbox, it was quite the buggy game even for stalker so I want to know if it was fixed in Legends of the zone version

[loud mountain]

It's much better on the Series X than it was originally IMO.

[zenith pendant]

There are very minor fixes but no fixes to faction war, save corruptions, crashes, etc.

Also a bunch of new bugs, e.g. there's one person here who was softlocked out of completing the game due to a bug that only exists in LotZ.

Generally not recommended to buy console ports, they're really low quality.

[bleak monolith]

Thanks

[bleak monolith]

Hope in the next-gen update to remove Xbox mods restrictions

[zenith pendant]

yeah, also remove censorship and bring back multiplayer

[fading quartz]

Bro not gonna lie shooting on controller is kinda hard. Especially with just a basic pistol

[fading quartz]

But I will manage it

I cleared my first bandit camp with just a pistol

[zenith pendant]

Shooting in stalker is more dependent on your positioning than precision, gamepad works surprisingly well with trilogy because of that

[neat mulch]

Also leaning and low crouching

[winter bear]

And using cover

And not being a bad shot

[haughty chasm]

I'm sure it's probably said a lot but I really wish they could port over anomaly to console I love that game but man I suck at k&m

Or at least give us more mods on console

[haughty chasm]

I have it for Xbox one and it runs surprisingly well I haven't had any major bugs or crashes at all

[zealous hare]

Hi everyone. Not sure if been asked before. Will stalker trilogy for switch have a switch 2 update?

[zenith pendant]

There have been no news in that regard

[zealous hare]

Fair. Thanks for a reply

[keen anchor]

why did stalker 2 general disappear for me

[misty skiff]

https://discord.com/channels/504587323577729024/1308043334782292059

Maybe you accidentally unfollowed category or something.

Wait wrong one

[keen anchor]

yeah it ended up being something like that

[misty skiff]

https://discord.com/channels/504587323577729024/1308034374473617459

Yeah

[solemn garnet]

Sooo bug fixes for legend of the zone (also now going to be on Steam (but no GOG release?)) and no bug fixes for the existing classic games? Why?

[zenith pendant]

To not ruin compatibility with existing mods and because many “bug fixes” are pretty controversial changes

You can get community patches for legacy games if you want, be thankful they are not touching legacy editions

[solemn garnet]

Good point on that. Still a bit odd that there isnt a GOG release. I wonder if the Steam version will have Steam DRM

[quiet sail]

Why Italian localization and no Portuguese

[vague ridge]

we know why

[white lake]

If you own the trilogy already on pc will you get these new edition's for free or do you have to pay for the new n updated versions?

[vague ridge]

first

read the FAQ

[white lake]

I did. the wording just seems a lil confusing upon first read. But I think I get it now.

So the new and enhanced editions are going to be whats sold now, and the old classic games will be given for free upon purchase of these new editions?

And if you already have the older edition's you will be given the new enhanced edition's for free?

[vague ridge]

yhea

[white lake]

got it thanks

[quiet sail]

Why??

[nocturne leaf]

It is coming to GOG

[solemn garnet]

Interesting. Thank you for pointing that out. I swore it didn't say GOG an hour or so ago when I checked, maybe I misread it.

I wonder if they will still have some kind of workshop support on GOG. There is another game on there Wizordum that is on both Steam and GOG but it uses its own built in 'workshop' so both Steam and GOG have that support unified. I wonder if it will do the same thing. If it does I might actually buy it.

Hmm I just found the GOG page AND the Steam page that wasn't up earlier so it must have went up recently.

[boreal agate]

They'd probably have to build it themselves to support it, though tbh trilogy modding is pretty easy for the most part. Edit some config files and then drag and drop mostly in my experience

But yes I think it was a pretty deliberate choice to make them separate editions so as not to mess with the extensive list of mods made for the current trilogy versions

[solemn garnet]

Well that makes sense I guess. Some kind of GOG workshop support somehow would be awesome for more extensive mods though. I am glad they haven't forgotten the classic games though I do wonder where the S2 DLC is (or the multiplayer mode)+bugfixes there.

[bleak monolith]

Hope more mods come out for xbox

[solemn garnet]

There are mods for this game on Xbox?

[molten nexus]

.

[zenith pendant]

Not unless they change the restrictions

[frank tapir]

Finally, keyboard and mouse support will be released and it will be possible to replay legendary games normally. Great news!

[zenith pendant]

The legendary games are available as legacy editions

They had keyboard & mouse support right since release

[tame fjord]

I think this enhanced edition looks awesome. I’ll take any opportunity to play through these games again, and I’m glad to have achievements on Steam now 👏

[polar trench]

Hello stalkers! The new LOTZ (Legends of the Zone) patch was announced yesterday, providing improvements in every aspect. This makes me as happy as everyone else, but there's a somewhat silly concern, which has been answered indirectly, which I can't quite understand. On PC platforms, they're going to offer us the option to purchase the already updated trilogy. They're going to give us the free patch for those of us who already own the game, without paying anything. The thing is, I still have to buy the latest one (COP) due to lack of money, and it's going to be on sale during the Summer Sale. Will I be able to change the game on the Steam page and put the updated one up, or will it be the old one? If I buy it for the first time and haven't had it previously in the library, will the patch still be given out? Thanks for reading, and good luck on the cordon.

[maiden dirge]

If I own LOTZ for PS4 physical copy can I uodate to enhanced for free on May 20th?

[zenith pendant]

You get two games for each entry — classic one and LotZ EE one.

[zenith pendant]

No, it’s next gen only. Not available on PS4 & Xbox One

[polar trench]

So it's not a future replacement, it's like when you buy Borderlands and it comes with the improved version.

[zenith pendant]

Yes, no matter when and what you buy, you get both versions.

Old one for original experience without censorship and controversial gameplay changes and with multiplayer and extensive modding community,

And new one with graphics update, gamepad support and achievements.

[polar trench]

Wait, censorship???

[boreal agate]

Soviet imagery was modified/removed, and red cross stuff was replaced. Those are the ones I remember

[zenith pendant]

i really need to get a video done cause people keep being clueless xd

[bleak monolith]

Dont make sense removing Soviet references, they are part of Chernobyl and Pripyat history, makes the setting so cool plus don’t have anything with late Russia

[zealous hare]

Any plans to release the enhanced for switch versions? Hence the switch 2 is out next month

[boreal agate]

No plans currently according to the FAQ

[zenith pendant]

I’m sure the censorship will be reversed with a mod like literally day one.

[late forge]

Are my eyes going bad or the weapons in the enhanced edition look the same as in the OG games?

[void granite]

someone with common sense here, thank Monolith

[zenith pendant]

They do

Thanks god they did not slap a weapon pack that would be terrible lol

[golden marten]

Honestly, surprised they got Stalker to run on ARM64 (Nintendo Switch).

[versed hazel]

will the enhanced editions be an option, or a separate app on consoles?

[winter bear]

I think it will be an update

[zealous hare]

Finally will be able to play trilogy on steam deck without using voodoo fuckary. And with decent enough controller support

[eager fossil]

Remember when @cyan valve used to play clear sky every day? I wonder why.

[cyan valve]

Because I wanted to finally finish the deathless pistol-only playthrough.

[eager fossil]

yay, it works

[dire pivot]

will it be dx12 ? not that it matters. just interested

[zenith pendant]

LotZ was fully r4 so it’s at least DX11, even SoC.

Whether they actually updated to DX12 is hard to say.

[dire pivot]

i can't wait to play these games, i only ever finished CoP so it will be nice to have them in the best condition they can be

[zenith pendant]

AHEM

Best condition is original legacy release

LotZ is a massive downgrade

[dire pivot]

yeah ?

[neat mulch]

Now do Pripyat-1 without any armor and only a PMm while also keeping everyone of your full squad alive

[zenith pendant]

No PvP, texture censorship, lots of controversial gameplay edits, MANY new bugs and issues (some may be fixed for EE we don’t know yet)

If you don’t need gamepad support and achievements original trilogy is the way to go

[dire pivot]

yeah but the workshop tho ?

[zenith pendant]

It’s literally asset replacers only. You can’t edit anything gameplay related.

Workshop is dead before it is born, as unfortunate as it is. Without script and config editing stalker modding is useless.

[neat mulch]

@eager fossil
Have you done this challenge as well?

[zenith pendant]

I only know of one dude doing this and it’s insane

[neat mulch]

Y'know, the Pripyat-1 challenge without any armor, only a PMm and keeping the full squad alive

[zenith pendant]

He’s been trying for like three years now. But he has additional rules like no save scumming

(that’s talking about CS pistol only deathless)

[dire pivot]

i kind of understand the script limitation, bad actors could abuse it but on the other hand, garry's mod lol

well if it really is the case then yeah that really blows, can i find info on this anywhere ?

[zenith pendant]

I really need to compile it lol

Maybe I will today

[ruby bane]

3 long days to go

[boreal agate]

I'll play the SoC EE for the novelty at least

[soft spade]

If I get the trilogy on ps+ will I get the enhanced edition as an upgrade?

[soft spade]

Or is that the version coming to ps+

[golden ridge]

Not sure. I would've said otherwise if it was any other platform, but it is not the case

Mol1t might be the only one most suitable to answer that question

[soft spade]

I only assumed because it's coming the same day as the enhanced edition

Hope it's not another days gone

[golden ridge]

Yeah, that's the thing. The enhanced edition was said to come as a free addition to the ones owning the games, but nothing was said about ps5 port.

I think it might not be the case, but again, I don't know and can only assume too. So, redirect that question to Mol1t this Monday (since it's the weekend).

What I think I know is that the enhanced edition will come with the originals too if you buy it (not exactly sure too, but I heard as such).

[soft spade]

It's a bit of a coincidence that it's coming on the same day, but in The picture there is no "enhanced addition" banner of any kind. But yeah, I'll ask him Monday.

[soft spade]

"Delve into the renowned classics of open-world survival with the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy, now upscaled and enhanced for a new generation."

Directly from the PlayStation blog

[signal oak]

Do yall think new mods will release for the console version once the enchanced update drops?

[strong wharf]

looks like no

everything stays the same

for pc and console

[harsh cove]

[zenith pendant]

Yes

[zenith pendant]

Oh hey that’s me

[vale mortar]

lol

but that is kinda strange to not allow mods on a 10 year old game

[dire pivot]

i would like to know the reason why modding is restricted this way, my theory was that scripts are attack vectors for bad actors but i don't think so anymore, is it just to have parity between platforms ?

[vale mortar]

who knows man

i mean maybe cuz there tired of modders doing a good job at the stuff than them

[dire pivot]

nah it's not that but it could be not wanting console players to have less mods or mods breaking the games and people blaming it on the devs, i have no idea but the devs have been very humble when it comes to modding so it's definitely not* the reason you mentioned

[vale mortar]

yeah

who knows man but still good for them for updating there game tho

[dire pivot]

yeah but i have my doubts now, if i can't modify gameplay then maybe the old games are just better to play

[vale mortar]

maybe man maybe

[dire pivot]

but if the new versions still support modding with scripts and such when sideloaded outside of workshop then we can just work around it

[vale mortar]

you might be right there

[vague ridge]

good

people that use steam workshop do not deserve good mods

[strong wharf]

Project zomboid though

[vague ridge]

this is incredibly stupid
short answer, players cannot be trusted to not ruin their install with conflicting mods without being able to fix it themselves, therefore GSC needs to babyfy the modfront

this is YOUR fault

LEARN HOW TO USE FILE EXPLORER

[dire pivot]

it's just a theory, maybe i'm completely off here but i'm glad a moderator agrees with me here that the modding restrictions will hurt the games in the long run as serous modders will just go to moddb anyways

[vague ridge]

this is good bc it separates the chaff from the normal well adjusted people
if you want to mod, you will learn basic computing file management

we shall create 3 classes, those that dont play, the idiots, and the well adjusted ones

[dire pivot]

it's not about learning how to use file explorer, it's about ease of access, always has been

[vague ridge]

yhea, as easy as a google search and as a drag and drop

get in the cheap 1 minute youtube tutorial

[dire pivot]

and then if you want to uninstall a mod you do what ?

[vague ridge]

its called the delete function
I assume you have never used a computer before

[dire pivot]

yeah delete the game and redownload it sound good to you ?

[vague ridge]

yhea if youre a complete brainlet idiot

[dire pivot]

or look for every file that you pasted and delete every single one

yeah look mate i won the argument

[vague ridge]

a normal, well adjusted, person, would know mods mainly use the gamedata folder and that if a mod doesnt mess with the original files all you need to do is delete the gamedata folder

of course, you are chaff

[dire pivot]

lol

[vague ridge]

therefore you have already been gatekept

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1014231525434331178/1076951340011495525/IMG_4239.gif

it's already working

thank you ho GSC

[dire pivot]

i use arch linux you cannot gatekeep me with your lil duck

[vague ridge]

ok neckbeard, you can follow a autistic tutorial online but are stopped when you are required the smallest ammount of thinking for yourself

I do believe that

because its so sad

[zenith pendant]

Scripts ok (though are they not in their power to sandbox Lua like any other game with Lua modding does?), but what about configs, levels and spawns?

[dire pivot]

ok windows user, whatever you say, enjoy the xbox ads

[zenith pendant]

IMO it’s more that Gsc views modding as customising experience as opposed to changing it or creating new ones

[vague ridge]

too scared to open your game directory folder? hipster

[zenith pendant]

Yes but engine modding is completely out of the question for EE

[vague ridge]

ehh, itn would be like that but you also need to realise that people like Abbe here would cry and moan about breaking their own installs and say its GSCs fault
if they do have this vision, Id say it will be revealed when the Stalker 2 SDK is pushed out, since its a new SDK GSC can customize to work with Mod.IO with a mod version loader

[zenith pendant]

The thing is, you absolutely can create mods that crash your game or break it even by replacing assets

[dire pivot]

leave it to gsc to recruit unhinged destrcutive mods who does nothing, get paid nothing, and are justy in general a PITA

[vague ridge]

I know, but if you needed to babyfy to that extent, you cannot then open it enuff for mod workshops, and abbe would also cry and moan about that

[zenith pendant]

The jannies are unpaid

[vague ridge]

damn, I get pay'd? thanks for telling me, didn't know

https://tenor.com/view/cat-bed-startled-surprised-woke-up-gif-8714905428638085059

[zenith pendant]

They just like their power fantasy and image permissions

[vague ridge]

you the one to pay me linux child?

or did you spend all your money on macdonalds

[dire pivot]

yeah that's true, kinda sad tbh

[dire pivot]

what does this mean btw ?

[neat mulch]

Ayo you're right, I do like image perms and being a tyrant

[vague ridge]

EE uses a modded version of the engine and is incompatible with mods made for the OG

[zenith pendant]

The game is done in C++ mostly. It handles rendering and most core gameplay modding. Scripts are for more of the actual game logic, not core gameplay.

For legacy games, you can mod the engine and add and change anything. For EE, they changed the engine and as it’s not open source, people can’t modify it.

Lots of mods rely on engine edits. Some are fully only done through engine edits. As a rule of the thumb, if the mod you want to install has a bin folder, you can’t port it to EE.

[dire pivot]

gotcha, that makes sense, why not make the new version open source ? weird

[vague ridge]

the older mods use LUA Script Extenders thru the gamedata folder, new mods will always package the game with itself and therefore wont be installed on top of EE

aka, doesn't matter at the end of the day much

unless you want to make maps for EE, then youd need the binaries

[dire pivot]

will this still be possible with EE outside of workshop ?

[vague ridge]

yhea, you are free to do whatever you so want with the files in your computer, therefore for any actual modding of EE you're gonna have to do it by hand, outside of the workshop

[dire pivot]

yeah okay all i care is that no functionality is removed

[zenith pendant]

Yeah but you can’t really combine EE features with any engine edits

[zenith pendant]

Cough pvp cough

[vague ridge]

yhea and it doesnt matter to do that because all the open source engines the community has been using for years are more advanced and have more features for the consumer and for the modder than EE could ever have

[dire pivot]

sure but i don't really care about pvp, but yes that is functionality that was removed

[vague ridge]

if you are using a modified version of the engine, you are bundling the OG game with your mod, making it not a problem as well

[zenith pendant]

If you are looking for whole replacement yes, but you can’t add onto EE functionality. You can’t have Gamepad/achievements & Linux support, for example.

[vague ridge]

OXR and all its derivatives already have Linux suppoort
as for achivs and gamepad support
dont care

[zenith pendant]

That’s what I am saying, you can’t get Linux support (not EE feature) with improvements of EE.

[vague ridge]

youll have to excuse me for not caring that mcdonald addicts cant play the game, again

put it on record, if you can

[cyan valve]

surdno has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[zenith pendant]

dude im talking about engine limitations not what you care about personally

[vague ridge]

like I said, if you have those problems, you are either using WINE or you are using OXR or OGSR already

[golden marten]

Little confused by the back and forth. EE will not have Linux support?

If the X-Ray engine was ported to Nintendo Switch, it likely means it can compile for Linux too. The Switch uses a Unix-like OS and similar toolchains, so most platform-specific code would already be abstracted. A working Switch build usually means cross-platform compatibility is in place or close.

No Linux is a mistake, especially with Windows 11 era sentiment, people are switching to Linux in droves.

[spiral merlin]

Is the x ray engine still single threaded or is it multi threaded now?

will test it on linux tomorrow

[covert rampart]

did they delay Enhanced Edition by 1day? wasnt it today?

[spiral merlin]

I have no idea but the trailers released 4 days ago say 20th may

[covert rampart]

oh Im autistic

[spiral merlin]

[vague ridge]

it was always on the 20th

[covert rampart]

yes my bad

[mighty halo]

On the PS5 i can see the enhanced edition but only for Call of Pripyat

[cinder basalt]

did it say the hour on the 20th? or is it a gradual roll out when it hits a certain time on the 20th?

because in 5 hours it will be the 20th in tokyo

[vague ridge]

think its London time

[glad tartan]

steamdb says May 20th 8 AM UTC

[boreal agate]

Alas, 3 AM my time. Guess I'll be playing it after work tomorrow

[golden marten]

Mutexes, critical sections, and thread-safe queues are present in the original X-ray codebase to manage thread interactions. Sound, AI, Physics, etc. What isn't multithreaded is the game loop and rendering.

Utilizing better modern rendering techniques would probably see a better improvement then tossing rendering on another thread. Batching by material alone would improve mods that add a billion reskins to Stalker meshes. Maybe someone already did it.

[sand jungle]

Legends of the zone is exactly same as enhanced edition right?

[boreal agate]

Yeah EE is LotZ with some visual improvements

[zenith pendant]

EE is multithreaded and x64

[zenith pendant]

No, EE also includes additional changes like QoL or bugfixes that are NOT coming to older platforms such as PS4, Switch and Xbox One.

[boreal agate]

Hopefully more bug fixes than new bugs

[zenith pendant]

https://support.stalker-game.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=29382247124241

Just report everything you find, if devs are too lazy to look at community patches then they should be overwhelmed with reports

[neat mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/sonic-meme-sonic-heroes-bruh-gif-24774655

[barren agate]

did GSC share list of patch notes for Clear Sky enhanced?

[zenith pendant]

no, they didn't even share it for lotz, community gathered actual changes, so wait until release

[north sapphire]

So excited for the next gen update

[zenith pendant]

boo

[bleak oar]

Now I wonder if the QOL they mention includes weapon and armor repair being implemented in SHoC

[limber juniper]

Just under 12 hours to go Stalkers.

[golden marten]

Quality of Life meaning we no longer have to see Russian propaganda in - game

[limber juniper]

As long as the AK doesnt have nato rounds I will be happy

[golden marten]

They deleted the Lenin statue from Dead City

[limber juniper]

Did they replace it with Usyk?

[wicked sentinel]

Will there be steam cards and badges for the trilogy?

[limber juniper]

Theres Steam Achievements

[wicked sentinel]

Yes, but it also would be nice to have cards, so fans could craft stalker-badges, so they would be seen permanently on their profiles.

[strong wharf]

silly change imo

LOTZ shoulda just been engine update, bug fixes and graphics enhancements

[desert vale]

cant have anything orcish i gurss

[zenith pendant]

no

[boreal agate]

That would change the game dramatically so unless they did a full on remake I don't think it would be a good idea anyway

[lime ridge]

I thought this was already a thing in the originals?

[zenith pendant]

In CS and CoP. Not in SoC.

[cinder basalt]

https://i.imgur.com/ABWRA6t.png

aww doesnt show my picture but the enhanced versions already in steam waiting to be unlocked

[lime ridge]

Ah yes. That's right.

[ruby bane]

[bleak oar]

Waiting for the actual availability feels like being stuck in a Spatial Anomaly

[desert vale]

[spiral merlin]

aanu cheeki breeki iv damke in 4k

[bleak oar]

4K Sidorovich Fried Chicken

4K 'bread'

[rocky plaza]

4k bloodsucker meals

i hope they redid the cut scenes

[zenith pendant]

Should probably run much better if you bring back original textures.

Not that they look different anyway considering it's a very lazy upscale.

[nocturne leaf]

Did they include that as a setting ? I didn’t even know they did upscaling I thought it was the new water effects that was tanking performance lol

[hallow plover]

There is comparison video in Youtube and CG cutscenes look way better.

[molten nexus]

Would it actually?

This is a thing to test actually...

[zenith pendant]

I don’t see why not, they brought it on switch

[molten nexus]

Yeah but Switch looks like it runs on original graphics

[zenith pendant]

No but that would be a mod early on

[zenith pendant]

Yes but without upscales, what exactly would be eating VRAM & GPU power?

SSR & GI likely don’t need that much. Rest is literally just LotZ

[molten nexus]

But I swear, in the original trilogy, the 4k texture m*ds did not kill performance much

[nocturne leaf]

Why’d you censor mods ?

[molten nexus]

m*ds ruin the game

[nocturne leaf]

Even anomaly and its mod packs ?

[zenith pendant]

Especially, my guy

[molten nexus]

especially *******

I bet this guy can't even name any m*d that isn't related to *******

[nocturne leaf]

Isn’t related to anomaly ?

[cunning smelt]

You can pre-dowload the update now on xbox

[sand jungle]

What about PC???????

[rocky plaza]

its out

[zenith pendant]

broader modding support
is that a joke lol

[loud harbor]

Is it available for free if you have the originals on GOG?

[zenith pendant]

yes

[sand jungle]

I cant download it

Not yet available

[zenith pendant]

relaunch steam

[eager fossil]

on Steam workshop you are free to change any game assets you want to

as long as you do not add anything inappropriate, of course

[cyan valve]

surdno has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[barren agate]

downloading rn

[zenith pendant]

oh damn why did you say the restrictions stay the same previously, i was spreading misinformation for like a week now

based then, i apologize, that's a W

[eager fossil]

I saw the thread, yeah, we just misunderstood each other

[neat mulch]

Bruh

[eager fossil]

guidelines are still here to tell you how to do that, but assets restrictions are specific to mod io only

[zenith pendant]

Just to reiterate: even binaries? I know the engine is not open source, so that would probably be done by reverse engineering (like Gunslinger was done back in the day).

Or all gamedata assets, but not binaries?

[eager fossil]

I am not sure from technical side, will need to double check

[spiral merlin]

downloading right now, on arch linux

[eager fossil]

but we aren't blocking assets for the sake of it, so you can try and see how it goes

[zenith pendant]

I expect a "no", as that would be a security risk, but I would appreciate the clarification.

[unkempt heath]

Crap, I wish I had bought the games on Steam instead of GOG, so that I could use the workshop :c

[zenith pendant]

Will do! And when is Workshop going to be available? Currently it's not a thing in steam community.

The link would be https://steamcommunity.com/app/2427410/workshop/ but it just leads to base EE page

[eager fossil]

preparing it to go live, Steam takes time to update

[eager fossil]

I am not very well versed in technical aspects of mod-creation, so, sorry, each individual case I will need to double-check on whether it works or not. We gonna try to make Steam-specific guidelines a bit later

[zenith pendant]

Thanks.

@eager fossil Will there be any changes with mods on consoles in terms of moderation?
It's very strange: harmless mods that don't violate community rules, as far as I know, don't pass moderation, but a mod that, quote: “makes the game crash on the loading screen” is somehow passed :(
