STALKER happens in 2006. By then, the USSR was extinct for almost 15 years and Chernobyl became a Ukrainian territory

it's a ukrainian symbol, or well... It was, 'til Russia invaded it in 2022

maybe that's why GSC renamed STALKER 2 as "Heart of Ch**ornobyl", so as STALKER 1 (Shadows of Chernobyl) as "Shadows of Cho**rnobyl" for the enhanced edition

[whole eagle]

Nevertheless, it is fundamentally wrong to consider that this is only a Ukrainian symbol, as many nations built it and how many extinguished it after the accident.

[sacred rose]

it means so much for the ukrainians (and russians), tho, even if it's still unhabitable

now my wonders are: if the war ends (by any way), will GSC bring back the soviet references to the enhanced trilogy ?

[whole eagle]

Speaking of accommodation, people have been living in the remaining villages for some time now

[whole eagle]

It will be too much low for them (GSC only speech)

[sacred rose]

wym "too much low" ?

[sacred rose]

the irl zones

[whole eagle]

it will hurt their pride a lot to get everything back, which they probably won't do)

[whole eagle]

Sure

[sacred rose]

they didn't hestitate with the originals tho

[whole eagle]

all hope for modifications)

[sacred rose]

yeah, no doubt modders will bring them back some day

Just entered the agroprom am I good on loot

[whole eagle]

I wish I knew the context...

even after watching, I still didn't understand what it was about)

[sacred rose]

"an unexpected error at the zone has occured

We're sorry.
Would you like to send an anonymous report to the devs ?
This will investigate and fix the error, and make the zone a safer place for other stalkers.
The report contains a cache detail, a screenshot and a history file."

and then bam, game crashed

[untold ember]

hhhhrrrnnnnggg

[copper bloom]

Sleepytime for this Burer. Never saw this in the OG versions, but it probably did happen.

Avoid inserting long walls of texts here. This channel is meant for in-game screenshots, not discussions. Please, take whatever you want to discuss to a corresponding channel and link whatever SS that started the discussion there.

[shy scaffold]

😁 i always push them down

[copper bloom]

I tried, but it has no collisions. It's in the new version of CoP.

[dusk geyser]

Always happened to me, you can push them down by shooting them I think

[odd otter]

Hey man, you think you will end up making winter style mods for s2 when SDK is available?

[olive pelican]

Hey, sure I’ll do

[sacred rose]

Not the true ending, but hey, i've finally finished STALKER for the first time ever

[ember isle]

Thank you for the information Fima Boulder

[mortal siren]

It still looks weird. Trees especially (EE on the left, OG on the right)

[inland oracle]

Exactly

It looks like I'm playing with wrong resolution

[mortal siren]

OG on the left, EE 1.0.2 on the right (1920x1080, no FSR, no AA, no motion blur, no SSGI nor SSAO)

[inland oracle]

• FSR off
• AA off
• Motion Blur off
• Depth of field off

Looks blurry.....

[inland oracle]

So issue still persists

[mortal siren]

Static as a bonus (Unfortunately, it's completely missing from EE)

[inland oracle]

More people report blurry image especially noticeable on trees

[mortal siren]

It isn't as bad as it was before, that's for sure. But yeah, it's still blurry

[mortal siren]

I kinda like the warmer lighting in EE tho

[inland oracle]

[molten kite]

[ember isle]

where was the tv footage recorded and from which stalker game if anyone knows?

[inland oracle]

Seems like Oblivion Lost/Early Soc , Cordon traintracks

[left saffron]

SurDno, will you do versions of the 'No AI Slop upscales' for "E"E CoP and "E"E CS as well?

[cold crest]

If there is demand for those, yes, I can. I am looking into how to bring back the original cinematics.

[inland oracle]

A bit less blurry with GI off

They also fixed the strippes on walls then raining

[sacred rose]

GUYS, I'VE NOW OFFICIALLY GOT THE TRUE ENDING OF STALKER SOC (Thank you @odd otter)

TOMORROW I'LL PLAY CLEAR SKY

[iron heath]

PEAK SKY

[hollow bane]

💔

[cold crest]

Watercolor ahh ending

[iron heath]

[cold crest]

I wish the time mapping changes were optional, I like the old color grading

The one on the right feels a bit generic?

[sacred rose]

This isn't an irl photo. It's a screenshot from SoCE, but edited on IG, with the midnight filter

Wait, chat, what if, for the enhanced versions, we add an "E" to their abreviations ?

SoCE > Shadows of Ch**o**rnobyl Enhanced

CSE > Clear Sky Enhanced

CoPE > Call of Prypiat Enhanced

"CoPE" lol

[cold crest]

Should add “D”

[misty latch]

Well, should be SoCEE, CSEE, and CoPEE then

[ember isle]

This makes much more sense

[ember isle]

Finished SoC finally, onto CS now

[sacred rose]

chat, i swear i killed them all

[hoary stump]

Is that Southern Farmstead? Typically you have to wait for CS guys to come and 'claim' it

[sacred rose]

fine

[sacred rose]

been waiting HOURS

shaved my beard even, and still nothing

[hoary stump]

Hum. That can't be right. Where are CS on the map right now? Are they moving about? Try going to the closest one and asking what they want and see if they have a mission to take a nearby area that they can then chain to Southern from

[sacred rose]

Didn't see any green dot moving

Saw nothing moving

[hasty sierra]

Lost Alpha?

[sacred rose]

i'm NOT giving u a weapon again

[ocean widget]

PRIPYAT. Living Zone.

[queen perch]

You know with my new hardware I could install that mod

[ocean widget]

https://m.vk.com/projektx

[inland oracle]

What is this ? Released?

[ocean widget]

you can download it

but idk if it's still in beta or not

[inland oracle]

Oh ok thanks

[ocean widget]

it's in russian only btw, but if you memorized button positions then it shouldn't be a problem

[ember isle]

Congrats!

[fair rover]

@ember isle

[hoary stump]

Alright I'm impressed

[rich siren]

COP ragdolls have player collisions briefly after they're killed

[sacred rose]

it's clear sky btw

[copper bloom]

I'd have to check, but I don't remember ever seeing that in the EE.

[copper bloom]

Ooop, nice little hole in the weapon model there (at the back, bottom right corner of the screen).

[inland oracle]

Fov issues not the model

[cold crest]

Why did they increase the HUD FoV without checking if it breaks anything lol

[olive pelican]

@round yoke

[cold crest]

@grok is that true?

[sacred rose]

i forgot that today's my birthday. Who cares anyway ? I'll still take care of the zone

and, maybe, just maybe, i would like to join either to Liberty or the STALKERs

[sacred rose]

@midnight notch is this true ?

[olive pelican]

Don't bother, won't be answered. I don't think the CMs can even answer this one.

Would have to ask someone at the top of the chain

[jagged sparrow]

SWR CoP EE mod

[sacred rose]

Mm k

[sacred rose]

All my duty fellas investigating the diddy tunnels

[sacred rose]

had to sweep all this place out of military mfs

[sacred rose]

GUYS, I'VE JUST COMPLETED CLEAR SKY JUST 25 MINUTES AFTER MY BIRTHDAY (WHICH WAS YESTERDAY), AT 12:25 AM OF MAY 30TH

LATER TODAY I'LL PLAY CALL OF PRYPIAT FRFR

what an amazing game. People say it's the worst, that it's very hard, it has a lot of errors, but it rlly wasn't for me. All you have to do is think. Not so hard it was, that i completed it without any armor (despite having the spawn menu mod, but i rathered not to use it in any moment)

as for the bugs, not only i couldn't find any, but also it had less than SoC enhanced

it's a solid 9.5/10

btw, i'm playing on stalker difficulty (normal) on each stalker game

[cold crest]

Would be even better if you played OG and not ainhanced editions

[sacred rose]

chat, i can't

[zenith hull]

correct

[sacred rose]

wym "correct" ?

[zenith hull]

you can't get up there that way

[sacred rose]

then how ?

[zenith hull]

talk to people. do missions and you'll get the info you need

[sacred rose]

do u suggest me to skip stingray 3 for now ?

btw, how do i see other tasks on the PDA ?

[hybrid basin]

You may find a solution by talking to other stalkers

There should be a missions tab

[ember isle]

I may be stupid, but isnt this exactly what they are asking for and i cant give it to them?

[iron heath]

It is thats a weird bug

[cold crest]

You have 2 boxes

60 = 2x30

He’s asking for 3 boxes so it should be 90 ammo.

[ember isle]

I seeeeeeeee, wish that was more clearer in game, thank you

[iron heath]

Fr that got me lol thought it was 3 rounds

[cold crest]

Can technically be 3 rounds

If you shot 29, then reload, throw away the 1, repeat for 2 more times.

[iron heath]

I feel it should always be hey I need 3 boxes of this ammunition

Or I need 90 rounds for example

[sacred rose]

"hey ChatGPT, why did the equipment of the Stingray 4 went burn ?"

i'm investigating, am i doin good ?

[hybrid basin]

Yes, but don't hesitate to explore around

You seem to be going very quickly

[sacred rose]

just joking, but ok

[sacred rose]

right.. i think i should stop sometimes

[blazing portal]

"registros de misiones" will show you all current quest that you've taken, some are placed on the map, some are for you to discover like for tools etc

[sacred rose]

yes, i found out

still thx anyway

[unreal oriole]

fellas i need help, whenever i try to launch clear sky enchanced edition this happends

[hybrid basin]

try verifying integrity of game files

[unreal oriole]

tried that

[hybrid basin]

reinstall?

[unreal oriole]

that too.

[sacred rose]

❌

[sacred rose]

How do i convince him to let them get in ?

or someone else who's disposed to accept

tried to ask everyone. Almost nobody even had that option to ask if they can stay

the few who had it, they don't trust them

[zenith hull]

you want to have them let in the monolithians but don't want give up neutrality?

[sacred rose]

ex* monolithians

[sacred rose]

whatever, it's.. it's part of the story

https://tenor.com/view/wachten-vinger-god-mens-gif-18800940

[sacred rose]

somehow, nor freedom or duty want to give me any mission

i saw the PDA, no missions related to them

[sacred rose]

I'm NOT giving him the artifact again

dw, i loaded the last auto save, so i gave Barbas the artifact instead

[copper bloom]

Always shoot that guy. xD

[sacred rose]

THE OASIS IS REALLLLL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[empty terrace]

Blood River be like

[sacred rose]

are the red waters provenient from the original games ?

[sacred rose]

i was told i could find kolobok at the oakpine anomaly, but all i found was rotten blood

[empty terrace]

nah, it's kinda graphical error to me

[sacred rose]

k

[sacred rose]

imma shop at Aldiv to get the Baldi kobolok and the Cawk meat

[copper bloom]

No, that's really weird. It's normal water. I had similar graphical issues with some anomalies in stalker 2, but not in CoP.

[errant briar]

Strider is such a good character

[zenith hull]

Aye

[sacred rose]

game or real life ?

[sharp turtle]

Always liked that area

[sacred rose]

They all took the task to disable Miracle Machine

[molten kite]

29 (+1 Player) went in X-16.
21 (+1 Player) came out.

[inland oracle]

🫡

[sacred rose]

I've just realized that i (have NOT) wasted my time on help Garry to get his meat and kolobok

actually had to talk with the guy of the left to convince him to join

Anyway, do you see that yellow artifact that looks similar to Kolobok ? I thought it was kolobob, but nah it wasn't. However, i found a giant box in a car, and gave it to this stalker, so we started to exchange things from the box

btw, why are bandits more "tolerated" by the other factions (STALKERs, Freedom and Duty) in CoP ?

[ember isle]

Because of the Neutral Zones that are there, like the ship and Yanov, where both sides of opposing factions can stay, but anywhere outside of those places they still engage in fighting all the time, why do you think there is shooting audible nearly 24/7, it’s because of bandits and free stalker or duty and freedom killing each other

[molten kite]

[sacred rose]

Game ss or irl pic ?

COC SAID SMTH ELSE 😭

seems like there's no legal way to bypass nor Pilot or Garry in CoP (in other words: pay them RU yes or yes)

In CotZ you can do the level transition if you go up to the gate
Pretty sure it's the same for CoC

very good mod

[lyric spoke]

this is the gun i got from streloks base in the OG why is it worse in the EE version its just fast shooting ak

[cold crest]

hd models
weapon pack
Cringe af

[cold crest]

You are playing with a mod, Strelok’s hideout always had an AKM.

[lyric spoke]

this spetsnaz one is better tho

[cold crest]

You get it in unmodded game from the body of Bes/Bis.

[lyric spoke]

i have bes's ak 74u already but streloks one is better

tbh i prefer the models used in gamma where it just integrates HD models head gear and keeps the OG body

[cold crest]

I will repeat myself: in both OG and EE the gun inside strelok’s hideout is fast shooting AKM. Your mod changed the gun to the one that never actually existed in trilogy (only Bes Spetznaz gun existed which was a modification of shortened AKM)

[lyric spoke]

there really wasnt a need

[sacred rose]

got some help

[lyric spoke]

This what an EE stalker should like

Your link went to someone called Stason174 (No "m") but the ModDB page had the author of "Bored Gunner", someone I have known for a long time.

LFO mod for clear sky has the winter mod built in I generally dislike clear sky but that mod is pretty good adds a bunch of mechanics and quite enjoyable in snow its easier to see enemies that arent clear sky or monolith

there's a secret night star surrounded by 5 stone bloods just where it gets blurry very high rads u have to double dip to get them all but im gonna assume its a hidden feature as its in the blurry part of the map where u would usually go to great swamps

you don't need the goldfish iirc

[quiet lava]

@cold crest I'm sorry but using ChatGPT to upscale the game's individual textures & then resell the game should be illegal.

you can't upscale with chat gpt, upscaling is not done with generative AI, but generally yes I think this is very low quality work. :(

Are the NVGs supposed to look like this and loop the turning on sound

this is for stalker not random news nobody cares about

[foggy nimbus]

erwinrommel4563 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[cold crest]

That not turning on sound

Turning on is a short click, but yes that’s intended look and audio

[lyric spoke]

i like the look its just the constant loop of the sound as real nvgs dont work like that

[cold crest]

The game in general often aims to look/sound cooler over being realistic

That’s what the franchise was designed in mind with

So don’t be surprised, there are plenty of things like that

[broken imp]

i need some help i cant find the artifact

[zenith hull]

Tried leaving and re-entering the map?

it seems like they usually interact with anomalies destroying them

How likely is it that the artifact spawned under the map?

[dusk geyser]

Or that ig

[heady nest]

50/50

[lyric spoke]

its the noise that is the most annoying the rest of the game i love but why do my heqad in with a looping sound lol

[broken imp]

tejas, if you decide to complete the crime EE is. Remember to save before every transition after retrieving fang PDA.

saves sometimes corrupt

But every update came with thousands of bugfixes so expect this one to do so too

[novel snow]

many thanks for the quick response

[past pumice]

The patch is already out?

[cold crest]

No, and again, wrong channel, this is for trilogy.

[surreal depot]

So here's what I noticed about the EE version of Clear Sky:

Normally these bandits are hostile towards you no matter how good your reputation is with the bandits.

But in the EE version, they become neutral towards you and you can just steal your stuff back without fighting.

The ones in Ahroprom also become neutral if you have a good reputation with the bandits

[cold crest]

Your statement about what they normally do is incorrect, they won’t be hostile in OG with high enough rep

That’s a common issue with all the factions, high enough faction relations nullify scripted aggression

[dreamy onyx]

i also cant eat it

[blazing portal]

[cold crest]

Yeah that’s the official THQ website.

It’s 100% legit

Now, the reason why I needed this confirmation can be seen on the screenshot: in many recent conversations on this matter I've seen people saying that "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." abbreviation meaning was nothing more than a fan made interpretation, when in reality it appears to be a part of THQ's official promo materials for ShoC. Which means this take on "S.T.A.L.K.E.R." abbreviation does have some solid foundation to it.

[queen perch]

Yeah I believe it was a THQ rep who made it up

[cold crest]

Yeah it’s well known it was at least semi-official, even if devs had a completely different backronym in mind.

It was also used in SoC Steam page circa 2018 (before the updated descriptions with gifs), which is an even more “official” source, and the one to feature the backronym worldwide instead of just for the western audience. Thankfully it was removed with an update by the new team.

The whole question of “what does stalker stand for” was quite a big PR thing for old GSC in general. The official forum even had a competition to create the best backronym.

I do not have a direct link, however, and as the forums are now dead, it would be hard to find.

But no matter how official it is, it’s a stupid definition, and some of the words have too close of a meaning. Not to mention that by release, regular stalkers are not “S.T.A.L.K.E.R.s”, and the definition clearly does not apply just to those with the tattoos.

[median marsh]

This definition does clash with the C-Con tattoo lore, no debate about that — I just wanted to clarify for myself if it was actually mentioned officially in some way 😁

Now let’s see your OG playtime.

[zenith hull]

My playtimes never really matter, with the time I've played on physocal copies or times I've left games running when being called away

[cold crest]

@crimson sundial the 1.1.1 change to task_manager.ltx resulted in test quests being enabled and accessible in-game.

(that's showing the difference between 1.1 and 1.1.1)

I am legitemately confused how that could even happen.

[crimson sundial]

Hello, the in-game screenshot is from Patch 1.1.1?

[cold crest]

Yes, the issue did not exist before 1.1.1. Here's a more detailed image that explains what exactly is wrong.

[crimson sundial]

thanks, gonna report this issue to the team

[cold crest]

I honestly have no idea why the devs would even do this. This isn't some unintended consequence of a bugfix, they JUST enabled the test quests and that's it.

Maybe were testing something as well and shipped unintentionally?

Or thought the requirements are wrong, idk.

[crimson sundial]

maybe it was the part of the next Patch preparation

I would say that is most likely

[cold crest]

With all due respect, there is no way this can in any way shape or form be related to any other change :) It's literally touching JUST the test quest and doing nothing but JUST enabling it to be available. It's not a side effect of some other unrelated change.

[crimson sundial]

I mean, not a side effect, this change was not supposed to go in 1.1.1

[cold crest]

As in, it was still going to be in the game, just in a later patch? A bit confused here, sorry.

[crimson sundial]

this change was being prepared to go in 1.2, it was not finished and tested , unfortunately it somehow got into 1.1.1 build

gonna fix that

[cold crest]

But what's the purpose of the change at all? It's not even bringing back cut content, it's literally test quests. As in, they were never meant to be in the game, they have no gameplay purpose or anything.

I get that it was made it in by mistake, but what's the reasoning behind bringing it back later?

[crimson sundial]

I will try to clarify that with a team

[cold crest]

Aight, thanks.

[surreal depot]

I started getting this type of quests in Clear Sky EE

[cold crest]

Discussed right above your message, test quests not intended to be in the game

[surreal depot]

Just found out

[cold crest]

Did you get an update? I’m really interested in why that was done in the first place lol.

[inland oracle]

Bro sneaked in SGI5k at the end of all those items hoping you won't ever notice

Will EE ever be on par with OG trilogy

[crimson sundial]

we were working on fixing repeating "give-bring-find" quests for 1.2, and part of unfinished fix got into 1.1.1

[surreal depot]

Yes, only to the pre-patched versions

[cold crest]

Even unpatched OG had multiplayer and preserved artistic integrity :))

[surreal depot]

I forgot they used AI to upscale textures

And they censored the game heavily

[cold crest]

Oh yeah and textures and models still look worse

Either it’s just worse or higher quality but watercolor painting

[surreal depot]

The AKM-74/2 is the worst

[cold crest]

Yeah I’ve seen that one it’s just a disgrace how that even passed QA

[surreal depot]

The gun looked like it was placed in a coal pit

Also, why can't they just ask the guy who made the SRP mod to help in making the EE versions?

[cold crest]

Oh who knows. Everyone asks the question of why they did not use all the stuff modders fixed for them. Especially considering it already uses SSS and OpenXRay.

I do not know. They could hire Decane and NatVac to do some work for them even in part time and EE would be amazing

But we have what we have, let’s just hope it improves in the future

[calm heron]

I would have more, but I still own the clear sky disc and I bought it on steam only because it was in a bundle with the trilogy and I wanted to have all games easily accessible on steam. I was raised playing stalker clear sky. It is my childhood

[inland oracle]

Community literally fixed the trilogy for them

@digital tapir if you're talking about this. I dunno how to get up there

[digital tapir]

Honestly, it might be CS where you can climb up there. It's been awhile for me since I played. I think the one I mentioned in the train station is still good and applies. Other than that, I'm not 100%

My main "point" is that there are a number of places where you can find armor or weapons in SoC. For the specifics you can look around or look up some videos. But there is good stuff around.

Oh, I remember. There are boxes up there that you can shoot down.

A gun and some ammo will fall down.

[gilded birch]

You shoot the crates to make the amoo fall

You can't climb up

Who did it better?

[rich siren]

that burer pic goes hard

[rare glade]

And who in the zone isn't afraid of a gunslinger?

[calm heron]

So this is where the dynamite in SoC comes from

[cold crest]

Not really, the implication is that Wolf brought it.

[calm heron]

yeah I know

[cold crest]

That’s the common fan consensus anyway. We don’t know for sure if that is the case, because the dialogues and the Skull appeared at different times, and initially Wolf did have a quest with a dynamite where he had a different use for it… so it may be a remnant of cut content completely unrelated to Skull.

[hushed owl]

original vs enhanced, better but still blurry... feels like the render details are still missing in this version. (the screenshots are made after some lumscale tweaks i made otherwise the day is a lot darker)

[cold crest]

HUD is still so ass 💔

Wonder if they are going to address it anytime soon

Try to match the weather. Best to compare SoC cause the weather at the same time will be static.

[cold crest]

Are you using FSR & AA in your comparisons? Anti-aliasing in OG looks a lot better, the power lines are consistent. Is that MSAA vs MLAA/FXAA?

[hushed owl]

i was using fsr, i made a lot of changes but that config is the best i could get; anyway in the original game i don't know which AA is using, it simple says "anti aliasing"

[hushed owl]

yeah lol, after all these years these developers still can't manage to bring proper ultrawide compatibility to stalker 2 and stalker "enhanced" neither

guess which icon is the "enhaced edition" .... yes...the one on the left.

[cold crest]

I do not mean the 21:9 support I mean how simplified the redrawn hud is in general

Original is blurry but rich and full of detail and depth, the new one is high quality but full of alignment issues, lacks depth and looks like generic mobile game modern UI with those gradient HP bars

[cold crest]

How does it compare with FSR off? Pure rendering.

[cold crest]

The AA in OG is MSAA. Which AA are you using in EE?

[crimson sundial]

you can send me in dms

[rare glade]

I sent it a looong time ago

[crimson sundial]

cool, I am back from sick leave so going through my unreads, now I see your avatar

[rare glade]

ok

[grand meadow]

3 pings aint much but... its honest work

[inland oracle]

[hushed owl]

first image is pure rendering with MLAA, second is pure rendering without AA kekw~4

just like i said, they f up the rendering in this "version"

the less the resolution the worse it gets ofc

[cold crest]

Yeah the power lines only looked good with MSAA

[inland oracle]

So blur is fixed all the way now ?

[cold crest]

No but it’s considerably better than on release

Still not as good as OG release if you compare them side-by-side.

[gilded birch]

hes just baiting bro

[cold crest]

The optimization of CoP is gutting graphics 🙃

[dim stag]

which ones are good then

[cold crest]

Why do you think it has the lowest FoV? A lot of stuff that was exposed in settings in CS is hardcoded in CoP with lower values.

where'd this be? SoC, shell artifact

that was both painful and unnecessary, to get all factions show as green dots on the map 😅
but i still wanted to try that, after so many years, I never had bandits as friends too, so EE was the perfect occasion to see how far you can go through this unstable faction wars thingy ...

[zenith hull]

Now show me the renegades

[cold crest]

The only faction whose tasks you complete not for rewards but for street cred

[surreal depot]

Freedom is also not trying to recapture the point

[runic gyro]

Mikhail "Vasyan" Jackson

[calm heron]

Meanwhile I took the path of destruction as Duty to destroy every faction. In the end I just joined Loners to complete Depot extermination and rest peacefully over the quiet Zone full of only green dots

[calm heron]

Basically getting the same outcome in the end

I felt like Thanos. Destroying half of the factions in the Zone to bring peace to the Zone

[modern talon]

Considering CS can’t be annihilated at all, is it possible to get only CS and only one other faction ? I don’t know if any faction can hold all the bases

[calm heron]

That only depends on: would they come to me after I clean entire base of other faction and set up my faction camps there or not. If not, then enemies would respawn over and over even without changing locations

[cold crest]

You can't annihilate stalkers either as their Agroprom base cannot be captured. And stalkers wouldn't be too willing to take Duty and Freedom bases. So no.

[modern talon]

Eradicating bandits and renegades is good enough

[calm heron]

Not good enough. You have to erase every single conflicting faction. Then you can finally embrace the peacefulness of the Zone

[cold crest]

Can't eradicate renegades either. Clear Sky never captures northern farmstead which is their respawn point.

[calm heron]

I was using enhanced faction war mod. And they actually took over it

[cold crest]

eh, kills all the fun

[gilded birch]

[cold crest]

@crimson sundial I found out the reason the bolt and knife animations are screwed up in LotZ & EE - some animations have "speed" property set up in SDK that forces them to play slower or faster, that property seems to be completely ignored by the EE.

Which also means it's not just those two that are affected, it's a lot more animations, just to a smaller degree.

I don't know what exactly is wrong as the engine is closed source, but if you could pass those to the devs so maybe they could figure this out and fix it that would be great.

[calm heron]

Those were the best times. So many memories

I remember not that long ago launching multiplayer maps in CoP and one map was the fire station which was in cs multiplayer. Since this was the map that me and my brother played the most on I remember the sudden spike of nostalgia that I've got.

[runic gyro]

"Mercantilism, Shmercantislism"

-# Vam vam, thank you mercenary

[surreal depot]

So, start a new run?

Since the point have been empty for more than 1 in game day

[cold crest]

A good advice is to always take a task to clear a camp if it’s offered to you, if you don’t, that might make that point inaccessible later.

But yeah that playthrough may be done for if it’s already broken.

[surreal depot]

Rip, at least I was gonna do a 2nd run anyway since the current run kept on spawning good artifacts except for flame

Because of that I can't find any sparkler, stone blood, and stone flower

[cold crest]

Yeah a shame EE still hasn’t fixed the broken artifact respawn timer

Did they used a timer for the attack on machine yard to begin?!

Clear Sky barely has any outposts and 1 is about to be attacked and they just decided to launch an attack on the renegade's base.

[cold crest]

It just tracks that number of clear sky squads is higher than number of renegade squads

Unfortunately, that does track the clear sky squad in Limansk as well

[surreal depot]

Which is funny cause when I checked the pda, the renegades have more squads

And this never happened to me before in the og and EE

@molten kite failing night star quest to still get a reward for the goldfish + cycling through a bunch of other questlines

[molten kite]

That has nothing to do with the artifacts needed I mentioned to be given an armor.

[cold crest]

It behaves absolutely the same, any task can be refused. Do you want me to record the same video at Sid's with a Nightstar?

I just had a save near Barkeep is all, it was an easy showcase. Same mechanic. Quests behave the same.

If you're absolutely insistent, I can get you a vid with nightstar and tourist's suit, but i assure you it's the same.

[molten kite]

Yeah. Show me getting the 4 to 5 artifact jobs, letting the time run out for the first one in sequence and then without consequence being given the next artifact jobs without resetting.
I never gave any advice about getting a job and then cancelling. You said: "The job goes to the list of your failed jobs in your PDA. You do not suffer any reputation or relationship hit."
"If a job is in a sequence of jobs, the next one in sequence will instantly become available" A failed job is one that times out. I would never give advice to intentionally refuse to do a job.

[cold crest]

@molten kite refusing all the camp elimination tasks until purge the freedomers, taking it, completing it and getting the VLA

[molten kite]

I will admit, it never crossed my mind to see what would happen by refusing jobs after taking them. My game play is about accomplishment, not refusal.

[cold crest]

@molten kite and final seva from urchin per request

[molten kite]

Yep. I will now call this the SurDno method. Taking jobs you never intend to complete with refusal & zero accomplishment and then doing the last to get the reward.
I wonder if this exploit is fixed in the ZRP or are you using the ZRP to do all these things?

I can't imagine this was GSC's intent, to create all these jobs and have someone refuse them all with only accomplishing one job to get a reward, that they wanted you to do through accomplishing ALL the jobs.

[cold crest]

I am not using ZRP, I don't play with mods. I am not aware if this behaviour is changed in the mod, but it's certainly the same between OG and EE, you can do it in both.

[cold crest]

I think it's hard to call it an exploit, considering it operates under the logic devs defined for the quests. More an unintended consequence, maybe? Like with the artifacts giving you >100% protection. Or trading guns with NPCs.

Consequences of deliberate mechanics that GSC did not quite think through.

[molten kite]

I disagree on that one. I think GSC intentionally designed 4-5 artifacts of each anomaly type, used to neutralize each corresponding anomaly. That's why they changed them all in the other games.

[calm heron]

First rule of stalker: this is not a bug. It is just an anomaly. Average day in the Zone.

[proven egret]

Recommendation during my time in stalker?

[calm heron]

Have fun, and beware bandits. So sometimes it is better to walk with empty wallet than to lose it to bandits in garbage

[lyric spoke]

I've been in the zone for 30 mins and havent even left cordon yet

its kinda a lie i was in there for an hour but the first run i died and forgot to save so i lost all the progress but hey another half and im already rich

[cold crest]

Too few 9x18 for someone trying to loot everything

[lyric spoke]

i literally killed all the soldiers at the bridge it took most of my ammo lol

[olive pelican]

haha butt

[cold crest]

@teal tendon the DV boxes seem to be lootable but you need to go a floor under to loot them

[teal tendon]

Lol, thanks, GSC

[lofty dove]

the zone looks magnificent tonight 🥰

[cold crest]

hopefully msaa is gonna be brought back, current anti-aliasing options kinda really suck

[proud wraith]

@cerulean sleet
Swamp is an level of Oblivion Lost that was used in the early development of Shadow of Chernobyl (2004).
Was discarded like in mid-2004, after the creation of the creation of:

Is this a decent start ? Any tips on how I can get better gear? I'm just starting out

[delicate path]

vanilla CoP? there's a stalker sunrise suit at the gas station roof, need to do some parkour, lots of radiation bring antirads

[sharp turtle]

You start with a sunrise suit no? Havent played in a while

[cold crest]

You do. Idk how OP ended up with a worse suit than the starting one.

[sharp turtle]

Lmao

No dura either

[zenith hull]

Challenge run maybe?

[cold crest]

He was asking how to get best gear in trilogy channel

[zenith hull]

Gotta jump through hoops to make CoP challenging

[cold crest]

I’ve seen a post on reddit saying how S2 is too hard compared to CoP, as if CoP is a good benchmark lol

(PS sorry for the watermark)

The powerlines look so poorly due to the lack of MSAA in EE :(

[harsh kite]

What we have, we have.

[cold crest]

Doesn’t mean we can’t complain about it

[rare glade]

[stuck jacinth]

@cold crest

[cold crest]

Holy lmfao

Can you run?

You sure it’s not a mod thing?

[teal tendon]

wtf lmao

[cold crest]

Cause I see classic energy drink and classic meds

Maybe a mod messing with actor HUD models

[stuck jacinth]

Yeah i can run but i have insane resistance to bullets, +40kg carry weight and 4 artefact slots

It might be freedom exo

[cold crest]

This has to be modded shenanigans

[teal tendon]

Upgraded freedom exo has 3 artifact slots, also carry weight is too big

[stuck jacinth]

oh i forgor i have the running in exo mod

[cold crest]

[stuck jacinth]

so it might be dooti exo

[cold crest]

I know EE is buggier than original release but like come on, this is too much even for it :))

[lilac river]

Soo I got stuck in the x16 lab
How I can get put of here

Sorry for the quality, the game doesnt let me screenshot

[stuck jacinth]

u gotta go all the way through it

[cold crest]

You don’t go back. The exit is in the controller room.

[lilac river]

oh

hhahahah

LA stalker

[olive pelican]

What the hell are these things???

[proud wraith]

just, things.

[teal tendon]

Baby poltergeists. In vanilla SoC they leave bodies after being killed, in EE they removed the bodies to make them similar to poltergeists from CS and CoP

[olive pelican]

Ohhh that makes sense. Very creepy.

[cold crest]

Relatively sure it’s a bug, cause they didn’t remove the bodies, you can still search them. They’re just invisible.

[olive pelican]

What is wolf doing in army warehouses??😂 is this normal

[cold crest]

that’s an EE player, laugh at this man.

Yes, as normal as it gets.
He always travels to army warehouses once you pick up military documents, you can discuss his departure with Fanatic in the village.

And while that one is scripted, many other named NPCs travel too.

[olive pelican]

I’m a returning player from a few years ago. I kind of rushed through my couple of play-throughs not knowing whats going on so a lot of stuff like this I am still learning what’s up

But that’s very cool

[cold crest]

why would you subject yourself to EE is the question

[olive pelican]

I am playing on my Xbox. They forced these new editions

[cold crest]

Ah, understandable then.

[olive pelican]

SoC is awesome regardless

[cold crest]

Yeah, I agree. It's an amazing game.

[olive pelican]

I think I might revisit CoP again after I finish this game. I remember that one had alot of cool side quests

[rare glade]

[teal tendon]

[little otter]

OOHH that thing.. i can say it simply ; go through every door you can. You’ll get out eventually

[olive pelican]

is it in this section of the bunker or not really tho?

[little otter]

Eh.. could you rephrase?

[olive pelican]

where +/- is the door?

[little otter]

The opposite way of the broken elevator. Go towards where the snorks come from if i am right, idk my memory is fuzzy. Could be first or second floor.

[olive pelican]

is it in that big reactor thingy room?

[little otter]

I.. think? Just keep walking. You’ll get out eventually. o7

[olive pelican]

okay

[proud wraith]

@lyric spoke
The first image is an screenshot of an early phase of the level that it's on the gamefiles of Clear Sky.
The second image it's the first concept art for the level and has transitions to:
Pripyat (two).
Red Forest.
Army Warehouses.
Dead City (an new version).

Practically has the majority of most important areas of retail jupiter, except Yanov.

[queen perch]

[peak otter]

What's the difference

[olive pelican]

One is bread while the other is bread

[peak otter]

You mean Bread and bread?

[olive pelican]

Yeah basically bread

Real bread talk

[peak otter]

Is it just a glitched item or is it mission related?

[proud wraith]

Bad translation or smth.

[little otter]

When the snorks start flying.. what can you even do at that point?

I love that the npc's in CS are so fat that I can't go through this gap because the guy is just standing there

[west pawn]

I'm so glad that this achievement didn't need to be completed in a single save. I missed the first flash drive from the tutorial mission, because I didn't go up the tower. But luckily I could just go grab it in a new save.

[flint citrus]

one is bread and the other is "bread" bro

[harsh kite]

You can shoot in flight like John Wick

[peak otter]

What does this fork and spoon symbol mean? SoC vanilla

[cold crest]

that's not vanilla that's EE :(

it means you need to eat

[peak otter]

What's EE?

[cold crest]

"Enhanced" Edition

[peak otter]

Wait I thought the enhanced edition is just the re-released game

[cold crest]

Yeah, a re-released, censored, buggier version of the game with a ton of AI artifacts.

[peak otter]

Oh, yea I can only play the ee version cause I'm on ps5

[cold crest]

Damn, sorry to hear that. Enjoy the game!

[peak otter]

Im trying, playing the trilogy to experience stalker cause I've always found the aestethetic and memes of the game very nice

C Shape Controller

[dim stag]

[west pawn]

You sound like you never tried EE yourself, and that's just what you heard.

Played through SoC EE on pc and didn't encounter any bugs, and the AI artifacts were small enough that I never even noticed any.

Currently playing CS EE and still haven't noticed any AI artifacts, and the only bugs have been ones from the original

[cold crest]

I have over 100+ hours combined in EE as of now, and I datamined every single patch that came since its release. I also posted over a dozen detailed bug reports to support. Hell, I contributed to a patch by sending fixes directly to devs. I don't know if any other person there is knowledgeable enough about this abomination of a release as I am.

You being unattentive and not seeing every single thing that is broken compared to original release does not equal lack of bugs. You not noticing AI artifacts does not mean they don't exist, the text is still atrocious, the skyboxes look painted, all the detail like scanlines is completely gone because AI upscaling can't handle that.

If you don't notice this crap, it's on you.

And I sure do love vegetation looking like crap in the distance because EE doesn't have the AA method that the game had 20 years ago

and on top of that, broken model smoothing

[cold crest]

didn't encounter any bugs
Right part of this table is entirely dedicated to new bugs. And even then it's missing a few.

On top of what is already listed here, add broken Generators particles, X16 metal gate not going down, being able to trade with C-Con representative, Duty Garbage outpost door going the wrong way and clipping into geometry, and a crash when you join bandits in CS while having a task from Freedom to get the outposts on the east of Garbage.

Again, none of those dozens of bugs have existed in the original. It's all new stuff. Stuff that worked fine before and is completley broken now.

You have to be blind to play EE and think there's nothing wrong with it.

[night hedge]

damn, is it that bad-

I just finished clear sky vanilla. The only left to finish is call or prypiat
