[night saffron]

i get an error when i try to sleep in the first mission (escape)

im using goldsphere repack

[hazy helm]

Sleep? there is no mission that requires you to sleep

Haaaaa its Goldsphere

[night saffron]

yeahh

[hazy helm]

Join the C-Con server and ask there

They have a Goldsphere channel

[night saffron]

ok ill try

i dont think they will respond in the next 2 hours tho, and i kind of want to play the game now

[hazy helm]

I never played Goldsphere and the ppl who know the most about it and speak english are in there so

You wont find many ppl who played Goldsphere here

[night saffron]

yeah i figured

what standalone mods have you played @hazy helm ?

i have only played Anomaly, OGSE, Lost Alpha and Wind of time

[hazy helm]

Wind of Time,Spatial Anomaly,OGSR,NLC7,RTTN and various other Freeplay iterations, and more I cant remember off the top of of my head

[worthy lagoon]

What error?

Move in #🔩┃trilogy_modifications i can help you

[frozen aurora]

Hi guys. What about stalker 2 show at game developers conference in San Francisco?

[hazy helm]

That was yesterday and no for our eyes

[frozen aurora]

heh

[frozen aurora]

sad 😦

[sturdy zodiac]

grant us eyessss

[frozen aurora]

then what's the point of this news about the show if we're not going to see any of it anyway?

[hazy helm]

Its not game news to begin with

Its a Talk about Audio2face which is a developer oriented tool to speed animators job

[frozen aurora]

i know, nvidia technology etc

[hazy helm]

Its not gamer stuff its programmer and game designer stuff

They are not obliged to show you

[frozen aurora]

you have right

[hazy helm]

Besides,Nvidia and GSC are guests at GDC,they play by their rules

[sand fiber]

no you don't understand gamers need an half hour long technical lecture they'll complain about afterwards

[hazy helm]

they showed us AI tools to optimize workflows and didnt talk about the game!what is this a developers conference?haaaaaate

[frozen aurora]

I waited for the first stalker for several years, those were the times of DOOM 3 and Half Life 2, the graphics requirements changed, I had quite good nvidia FX 5700 LE hardware then, and when the stalker came out 3 years later, the requirements were much higher, but then I already had Radeon 1950pro, beautiful times. Now I'm waiting for stalker 2 with my rtx 4090 and I will wait patiently even a few years, unfortunately I don't believe in the premiere in 2023, but I would like to be wrong.

[trim pagoda]

What happened to that by the way?

[haughty gorge]

mob boss

[trim pagoda]

I read at the GDC schedule page that they were supposed to present yesterday 3PM

[hazy helm]

And they did

They presented the panel at GDC

[haughty gorge]

What does STOC Stand for?

[trim pagoda]

I see

[hazy helm]

Stalker Official Community

[haughty gorge]

[trim pagoda]

But why we didn't hear anything about it or what was presented?

[frozen aurora]

good question

[trim pagoda]

All I know is that it was about new nvidia tech

[hazy helm]

Bc its not for your eyes
Are you a developer?did you buy a ticket and went to gec?no?then youre not gonna see it unless nvidia or gsc release a video

Which I doubt they will

[trim pagoda]

Yes Iam a developer

But yes you're right on GDC schedule page it says it will not be filmed

Or something like that

[hazy helm]

then ask someone from GDC to get footage or the script kr sum I dunno what to tell you

Its not going into the vault either

[trim pagoda]

Yes that's what I read, thanks anyways

[hazy helm]

No prob

[sand fiber]

gdc leak when

[nimble cipher]

WeeWDiedrich#7720 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[pearl jacinth]

tfw the ai tool completely obliterates my management

(now without the swear word)

[pearl jacinth]

crazy leak (you won't believe): there's this company called gdc and they made the stalker games

completely changed my life for the better when i found out

[pearl jacinth]

didn't know those fell under obscene language, won't use them here from now on

[sand fiber]

real also i heard they did a conference at something called gsc

[pearl jacinth]

no way

[sand fiber]

yeah seems like a convention for stalker games all around the planet

i remember some rumors that they've got warren spector to do a prequel to stalker

[golden bramble]

I need some help , my sun rays are "blocky" like square

on anomaly+ expedition (graphics only)

Tried different settings whit no difference

[pearl jacinth]

that's insane

didn't know there were such a community for these games... is there a discord?

[hazy helm]

I dunno,maybe you should try on the anomaly discord

[sand fiber]

yeah anomaly discord

Pizza tower mentioned?

[cursive wind]

What happened with the participation in GSC in the show I want to see

[hazy helm]

that was yesterday and you wont see anything

[cursive wind]

Why

[hazy helm]

bc its GDC,and specifically bc it wasnt recorded for the GDC vault

[spring abyss]

It's gcd fault dawn gcd

[cursive wind]

So out there are only leaks?

[hazy helm]

there are no videos of the talk
and the S2 leaks were like 10 days ago

[cosmic schooner]

The detector emoticons are out of order

Will Stalker 2 be out before half life 3?

[pearl jacinth]

totally

[wise timber]

sick as tits

[pearl jacinth]

valve's spending a portion of the year working on counter strike 2 so that gives gsc a lot of head start

[wise timber]

cs2 looks insane hella hyped for it

[pearl jacinth]

valve made smoke physics and everyone lost their minds

including me

[wise timber]

definitely some of the better smoke effects i've seen

[pearl jacinth]

thanks for proving my point LOL

[dry imp]

i care about the engine

[wise timber]

i did too lol yeah

[pearl jacinth]

source 2 my beloved

[wise timber]

the community tools being offered through cs2 will probably be pretty cool too, doubt it'll compare to S&box but never know

[dry imp]

source 2 is just a better engine

[pearl jacinth]

source fans eatin tonight... they made two of these...

[dry imp]

its not a full sdk or anything. hopefully we will be able to get them soon

they've promised the sdk with half life alyx

but we didn't get it

[frosty vector]

Kind of a shot in the dark but I figured I'd ask, does anyone know if there's some kind of fix to Call of Pripyat not registering keyboard input that doesn't include using -i in the launch options? -i makes the game not lock my mouse to the monitor it's on.

[dry imp]

what keyboard do you have

[frosty vector]

I've got a Corsair K95

[pearl jacinth]

hello fellow corsair user

i still use my k55 that i got back in like 2018

[frosty vector]

I managed to get a roundabout fix working for SoC by using the -i option and Cursor Lock but that solution just does not work on CoP for some reason

[pearl jacinth]

call of pripyat is fun so far

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[night saffron]

i need some help again

with OGSR

[drifting cloud]

So I'm doing a Freedom run right now, and these Merc dudes killed some ecologists. I want to kill the Mercs, but would that make them hostile to me for the rest of the playthrough?

[spring abyss]

ANOMALY?

[drifting cloud]

Yessir!

You know, if compare how long resident evil 4 remake had been developing, if stalker 2 would come this year, it's pretty impressive. RE4 RE also was in development from 2018, same as stalker 2, but RE4 is 12 hours long when stalker 2 is promising 100 hrs+ in big open seamless world

[night saffron]

could somebody help me with an error rq?

[west harbor]

hey, do you get your money back after ||being robbed by the two bandits in fangs' hideout|| in clear sky?

[dry imp]

nope

[timber verge]

only equipment

[hazy helm]

only equipment

[dry imp]

wait no i think you do

[hazy helm]

you dont retrieve your rubles

[dry imp]

oh yeah i remember getting annoyed by that because i had fat stacks

[west harbor]

so i gotta spend it all

[dry imp]

yeah basically

[west harbor]

any recommendations on what i should buy with it?

[dry imp]

wdym

[spring abyss]

In the freedom base you can upgrade almost every weapon till the mid upgrade and most armors too

[hazy helm]

anything that is light to carry and able to sell so you can recoup your losses
that or upgrade your suits and weapons

[night saffron]

who knows about errors? maybe i could get some help?

[dry imp]

what is the error

[spring abyss]

god i hope it's not anomaly

[night saffron]

lucky its not

[dry imp]

is it modded

[night saffron]

yes shadows addons on top of soc

[dry imp]

dont ask here then

[night saffron]

where then?

[dry imp]

ask in the mod channel

[night saffron]

can you help tho?

i want to play it badly

[dry imp]

if its modded, no not really

[night saffron]

i read that the same error occurs in non moddes ones too

so maybe you could

[dry imp]

are you going to say what the error was

[nocturne sorrel]

Hey quick question is the pc ultimate edition no longer available?

[dry imp]

retail edition? not really

[nocturne sorrel]

Dam I was too late in buying it huh

[dry imp]

i personally would recommend to not preorder until there is a release date

they're probably getting new stock

[pearl jacinth]

shoutouts to that one guy in the duty base who's entire purpose is just saying "get out of here, stalker"

[nocturne sorrel]

They said it was going to be released on December 30 or was I wrong?

[dry imp]

$14.50 an hour

[pearl jacinth]

you gotta do what you gotta do

[dry imp]

they didn't there is no release date. its a placeholder

[nocturne sorrel]

Ahh ok thank you gus for you help

[dry imp]

all they've officially said is "2023"

[nocturne sorrel]

Guys*

[spring abyss]

what's going on here

[pearl jacinth]

i've preordered the game on steam and it says "coming december 2023" on the page for it in the library

[dry imp]

because December 30th is the last day of the year. releasing something on that day would be stupid. so its just a placeholder date

[dry imp]

placeholder

they've officially only said "2023"

[hazy helm]

thats placeholder really,all we know is 2023

if you ask me its gonna get delayed to 2024 but thats neither here nor there

[pearl jacinth]

wonder how many people have graduated whilst waiting for this game

[dry imp]

im expecting summer 2024

[short tide]

Darn

[west harbor]

where can i find a list of armor upgrades with prices for clear sky?

[spring abyss]

Stalker wiki

[west harbor]

where

[spring abyss]

Internet???

[dry imp]

google.com?

[west harbor]

i mean, i found a list of technicians, but not a list of upgrades on the wiki

[spring abyss]

Every technician is specialist in some sort of weapon the wiki tell this and what tier he cannot upgrade, if you want to see the upgrades itself you're free to read the descriptions in the game itself

[west harbor]

since id like this information to be accessible online, ill add it myself, then

[spring abyss]

no

[pearl jacinth]

dont ever buy no weed from the gas station

[west harbor]

why

[spring abyss]

just no

[west harbor]

but why, why shouldnt i add upgrades and their prices to the wiki?

[spring abyss]

No

[west harbor]

WHY

[dry imp]

true

[warm terrace]

i have a question here more to the community of stalker. i personally love the original trilogy of stalker, its prob the best single player games ive ever played, but should i preorder stalker 2? i have the money ready, i aint no brokie worrying about money, because i love stalker, im ready to bust out $60 for the game. ive never preordered a game in my life, but this might be the first time because i love stalker. im just wondering if yall think its worth it. ive heard there would be microtransactions in the game which would be a deal breaker, because nothing will make me pay $60 for a game with an in game item shop where i can spend more money on p2w or even just skins and similar shit. also, do you think stalker will turn out good? its been delayed so many times that im worried itll be a flop like cyberpunk or fallout 76. on the other hand i should have faith in GSC, i know, i just wanna hear some opinions

[fallen folio]

It looks a million times better than any other shitshow pre-order trap. Besides, they’ve been at it all this time, I think it’s worth

Ultimately if you’re worried it’s gonna be a massive piece of shit, just download anomaly and mod it to whatever you see fit.

[spring abyss]

You seriously recommended anomaly to him

[fallen folio]

What’s wrong with anomaly?

[spring abyss]

What's right with anomaly

@hazy helm i need the anomaly gif here and in the #🔩┃trilogy_modifications

[fallen folio]

Yeah I’m gonna need someone to explain to me why anomaly’s bad, so far I’ve had 0 issues playing and it’s pretty fun

[west harbor]

people hate it because a lot of new players start with it instead of the og trilogy

[fallen folio]

Oh that makes a lot of sense

[spring abyss]

And bc it's not about stalker at all

[fallen folio]

Yeah anomaly is a terrible place to start off with I started with SOC, and that’s like the absolute perfect start, I couldn’t imagine starting off as a rookie and ending up in the great swamps

Not about stalker?

[mild owl]

It’s not a bad game, it’s just that a lot of people lately have been treatin it as the main stalker experience, not even touchin the original games

[fallen folio]

Yeah that’s an absolutely reasonable reason to have some disdain for the game.

[spring abyss]

He doesn't care about the lore, quests, he is pretty much a generic free survival game in the stalker engine, but it's not stalker at all

[fallen folio]

So far the tasks I’ve been taking have been pretty in note of SOC, and as for lore, it’s totally weird that monolith and clear sky exist in the same place, but from what I can tell it’s like “hey here’s all 3 games* have fun
*kinda, but not really

[spring abyss]

It's not all 3 games

Call of chernobyl is freeplay and he is very lore friendly(mostly)

[fallen folio]

Yeah that’s why there’s the * it’s not really all 3.

[spring abyss]

It's not even close

It only got the maps

[fallen folio]

And the factions like clear sky

[spring abyss]

Every stalker got factions

Call of chernobyl got faction wars too

[fallen folio]

SOC didn’t have clear sky, or renegades I believe

[sand fiber]

just don't pre order things

[spring abyss]

Bc those factions are introduced on the second game

[fallen folio]

Yeah that was my point

[spring abyss]

Besides, renegades are just generic bandits

Isg is not even canon

[fallen folio]

Renegades absolutely are lol

[spring abyss]

Neither the black slugs or the sin

[fallen folio]

I noticed they put in cut mutants which I thought was Neet

[spring abyss]

really?

[spring abyss]

Lost alpha too

[fallen folio]

Neet

[spring abyss]

Anomaly is a thing, and that thing is not stalker

[fallen folio]

They definitely put a lot of effort in though to try and be stalker, and I still gotta say it’s fun

[spring abyss]

what efforts?
The punisher logo on the mercs outfit

[fallen folio]

It’s fun planning and preparing for expeditions and raids,

Punisher on merc outfits?

[spring abyss]

Legend returns got cut factions with propose, he is 100% better then anomaly

[fallen folio]

I’ve looked a lot at the merc outfits and they seem like they’re pretty similar to them in the normal game

[spring abyss]

You don't get it

[fallen folio]

Then please explain more

[spring abyss]

nah

[fallen folio]

Then we agree to disagree

[spring abyss]

great

[fallen folio]

See you round, good talk!

It’s silly hours rn

[pearl jacinth]

me intentionally fueling the freedom versus duty war by working for them both

[undone moat]

I was chilling on anomaly earlier and I decided to go to radar and I went up that silly road with the silly electric anomalies to find silly monolith all over

[pearl jacinth]

why is monolith even hostile lol

"oh my god its a man ive LITERALLY NEVER SEEN BEFORE...... KoS"

[undone moat]

Brainwashed to be worse than a bandit

[pearl jacinth]

"all are welcome to find out the truth with monolith,...... except for that guy, he can get outta here"

[undone moat]

“Yeah that guy look out for him just shoot him”

[pearl jacinth]

the guys that are neutral but turn hostile when you approach are funny

"YOU!!!! you seem fine but DO NOT COME NEAR.... i will uhhh... I WLL SHOOT YOU!! please dont walk closer oh my god what are you doing"

“Is he coming closer to me?… I think he is”

i could walk at 0.5 miles per hour but they'd absolutely piss themselves

so silly

[undone moat]

Super duper silly

[pearl jacinth]

wonder how scared he'd be if i full on sprinted at him at 4 in the morning

you know how insanely fast the protagonists in the stalker games are?? they never skip leg day

[pearl jacinth]

absolutely zero accuracy whatsoever
600 spread at 5 meters

[undone moat]

[pearl jacinth]

still magdumps

only stops because player is like "oh i dont think he likes me" and walks off casually

[undone moat]

And then they scream insults while running to a corner sobbing their eyes out

[pearl jacinth]

corner in question is behind a vehicle because they're guarding the underside of a BRIDGE for some god forsaken reason

and the players objective is on the other side of said bridge

[undone moat]

The troll under the bridge

[pearl jacinth]

now im telling the story of how this unironically happened to me in soc lol

like bro... let me pass... my gun is literally away and im WALKING bro please... i neede to get to somethin

[pearl jacinth]

last thing they see before they faint due to stress

man walking

[undone moat]

Lmao

[pearl jacinth]

if one of them called me a "poopy head" i'd immediately alt f4 from the sheer ownage

cant recover from that one

[pearl jacinth]

best thing is, i have absolutely NO idea what they're saying as it's all in a different language. could be calling me every word in the book and i wouldn't know and i'd just go "i think hes mad idk tho"

[undone moat]

Just casually talking to you and your mind goes “I think he’s mad let me wipe him out of the zone”

[pearl jacinth]

the stalker fears the man that only understands english and some polish

[pearl jacinth]

dw i can still recognize tone of voice

that implies i'm not playing the game at like 4 in the morning though

[undone moat]

Lol

[pearl jacinth]

one of those games where you launch it at 5pm on friday and now it's 12pm saturday

was going to animate 2day but accidentally spent the whole day playing CoP

[undone moat]

Once you’re in The Zone you can never leave

[pearl jacinth]

what if i just turn around

[undone moat]

Nah there’ll be a bloodsucker or 2 there

[pearl jacinth]

shot gun

[pearl jacinth]

can't do anything if i time my stamina right

if they're on BIKES, however.....

[undone moat]

That’s a whole other story

[pearl jacinth]

cue that funny gif of the bloodsucker on the bike

[vocal dew]

Would be pretty cool if Freedom set up a bike repair shop.

[pearl jacinth]

i hate when duty wants me to do something against freedom... like cmon.... freedom is the only place where i could drink weed and smoke vodka...

[vocal dew]

back when they had the hanger in Dark Valley I mean....

[pearl jacinth]

freedom is da dealer...

at a stupidly cheap price too

god made us able to grow weed for free... only for man to put a price tag on it... for shame!

[pearl jacinth]

yeah so the bloodsuckers can roll in

[vocal dew]

да yis

[pearl jacinth]

yes yis

[pearl jacinth]

imagine the absolute look on the freedom units face watching as a bloodsucker walks in for the first time

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[proper glade]

You can do that in Dark Valley
Come on, we won't do anything to you...

[cyan canopy]

Mf bandit trap

[proper glade]

Ehhm, it's just an invitation

To drink vodka

Yes, only that

[cyan canopy]

If they have relationship between faction yes i will but if not well they probabily take my head off

[proper glade]

You mean that the game will have Turkish language?

Cool
More people will join the community

[jaunty pebble]

Yea, that's also something I noticed. HoC has Turkish localization which I am happy about it(yes am Turk) that means Turk stalkers will increase and that means more Stalker friends for us

But I will play HoC with Ukranian VA and English subtitles

[west harbor]

why

[grave portal]

why not?

[west harbor]

well, if a game is available in my language, i dont play it in english, unless the translation is really bad

[solid dome]

You are living in 1990

[jaunty pebble]

For the first time immersion

[solid dome]

No, I meant a lot of games do have turkish localization done by the developers

[jaunty pebble]

Well, recently released games do, but they used to not do it

[solid dome]

You know SoC's english localization is full of inconsistencies, right?

[west harbor]

@fickle glade what's a lector anyway?

[fickle glade]

well

you have normal guys talking in ther own language right?

soo the lector is guy that talks in your own language but it is one person for the whole game

like one voice for all characters
and you still hear theirs oryginal voices

When do you guys think the game will release 😳

Just throw it out there

Yes it’s interesting. But, nothing was filmed sadly

[jaunty pebble]

Sadly unless Nvidia or GSC posts the presentation on their YT Channel we won't know, as they were the guests there and they have to go by GDC rules

[magic violet]

Stuck in a side mission in cop

[hazy helm]

they have already presented it,it wasnt recorded

Have any of you seen the Stalker 2 footage that hackers have stolen? I admit that I saw it and I can't wait for the game even more. Shut up and take my money! I pre-ordered a few months ago, but I'm giving it back because I want a physical version with a stalker figure.

[solid dome]

Skill tissue, you ahve too much skills

[solid dome]

Footage? You seen old as the world stuff. Too much hype doesn't do good.

[pearl jacinth]

aye i'll drink to that

[reef granite]

God I hope it releases. Will probably sell really well. Could see stalker becoming more mainstream

[undone moat]

It shall return to the light

[undone moat]

I don’t really like it when footage like that gets too much hype because people get their hopes up

[pearl jacinth]

first game to sell 20 stalkillion copies

[hazy helm]

Probably in the next steam sale

they arent going to put them on sale unless its stalker birthday

Or steam sale

[solid dome]

It'd be better if you involve in the community instead of spamming in tens of servers, you know

Why are you spending money on all sorts of trash but didn't spare like couple euros to buy the games...

[sturdy zodiac]

You know you can just wishlist them and get emailed when they go on sale?

[solid dome]

Slime the Cheapskate

Wants to enter The Zone the cheapest of ways

[frozen aurora]

sale? 20 years of the game? You had 20 years to buy this game, and in 2023 you're asking about a sale? of how many? from 1 euro to 80 cents? The first stalker was even added to gaming magazines once. On the cdkeys website, you can buy a stalker bundle for $5.

[west harbor]

i mean, hes kinda right, like, call of pripyat is 20 bucks

[solid dome]

Compared to new trash, 20 bucks is 20 cents

[solid dome]

Arguing with who? Myself?

Never ever in my life I argued with myself

What I said above is straight fact

[hazy helm]

@finite dragonhttps://steamdb.info/sales/history/

wait a month

maybe,maybe

bc its the puzzle fest,I cant 100% say if GSC will put em on sale

[amber tendon]

Let me dress as femboy rq

Wait for me there

[mossy atlas]

Does anyone know how to skip the quest through the console?

[amber tendon]

What quest

And which part SoC, CS or CoP

[mossy atlas]

CoP

[amber tendon]

And what quest

[mossy atlas]

played mod spatial anomaly, and there in one quest an important quest character died, because of which, I can't finish the quest

there should have been a second option if the character dies, but my quest caught a bug because of which there was no second option in the dialogue where he died

[amber tendon]

Oh nah dude if it's a mod you have to either ask in #🔩┃trilogy_modifications or search in browser

Might restart tho tbh

[fallen folio]

What is the suit used in the stalker box art?

[sand fiber]

what art exactly

[fallen folio]

The main ones for the SOC art and I think the Stalker 2 art for steam

[pearl jacinth]

ive now finished CoP

the achievements i had exiting my first run were uhh
detective, diplomat, mutant hunter, research assistant, and courier of justice

[bold hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-gif-22322541

Dang

[pearl jacinth]

true

[fallen folio]

So what is everyone’s fav stalker game

[dry imp]

anomaly cannot be included

but i like SoC the most

[nimble cipher]

Pajama Mike#3761 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[fallen folio]

Lol

People really don’t like that mod, huh.

[dry imp]

its a mod, not a game

[fallen folio]

Oh yeah fair enough

[finite dragon]

anomaly

[fallen folio]

Got some explanations to why people don’t like it, I guess I just gotta get more involved with the trilogy first to see why it’s so unliked

Main ones were that it wasn’t really stalker, and that it would attract lots of people who wouldn’t actually support GSC, and were “normies”

[amber tendon]

anomaly

[finite dragon]

It's a mod that focussed on things the original games weren't 100% about, i don't care if people play it myself. seems boring tho, also don't care about gsc support and they obviously don't care either if they allow all the standalone mods to exist

[fallen folio]

So far I’ve had fun playing it while taking my pace, but it’s definitely not the legume flattening pain/fun I had going through SOC for the first time

[dry imp]

see, this guy gets it

[fallen folio]

Honestly I’d have to say SOC just because that’s the only stalker I’ve played that wasn’t anomaly which is a whole other can of worms, but I’m hyped for stalker 2, and am absolutely willing to drop anomaly altogether for s2 in lieu of everything they’ve shown so far that’s not leaked

The people love me

[finite dragon]

so you're telling me you'll play a new game despite seeing concept art and playing a mod from a 12 year old game

[amber tendon]

yea

[pearl jacinth]

since i've beaten all 3 currently released games, should i check out anomaly next?

[fallen folio]

I mean if you wanna, it’s fun for me

[fallen folio]

Well I really liked the one I played, and the trailers for s2 look great, and I haven’t seen anything dastardly quite yet

[hazy helm]

SoC and CS

[fallen folio]

Noice

[pearl jacinth]

CS story wise, CoP gameplay wise

[hazy helm]

CS gameplay wise,Story not so much

[fallen folio]

Well shoot I outta invest more in clear sky then

[hazy helm]

CoP can hardly be compared to any other game in the series its just so different

[fallen folio]

Hopefully it’s a little less rough around the edges from SOC

[finite dragon]

The more I think about it, the more I like them all equally. They all did some things right and some things horribly wrong in different ways

[hazy helm]

Wait so you played CoP before CS?

[pearl jacinth]

it's just silly :3

[hazy helm]

The black sheep

[pearl jacinth]

it's rough but less in the sense of polish and more in the sense of difficulty

get ready to bleed a lot

[fallen folio]

Yeah, it was the first one they made, and I was completely new so I didn’t know CS was a prequel until I watched some vids about it

[hazy helm]

you cant talk you never upgraded your gear

[pearl jacinth]

i finally bothered to upgrade shit in CoP ok

am i safe from the ballistic missile headed towards my home now

[hazy helm]

We talk CS tho

[pearl jacinth]

erm...... ok well to be fair i liked the difficulty

[fallen folio]

I have a ton to learn haha

[hazy helm]

The recommended order is SoC-CS-CoP

Youll get the most out of them that way

[fallen folio]

Yeah that was the plan

[hazy helm]

Its only recommended tho

[pearl jacinth]

i played in chronological [SC - SOC - COP]

[fallen folio]

I think I gave poor acister a heart attack from my glue huffing

I think I’m going to start taking it slow on the stalker games

[finite dragon]

release order of anything is always better

[pearl jacinth]

the modding scenes of these games is craz.... they be makin games... IN the games.... what da hell...

insanely impressive

[fallen folio]

I love the mod scene, so I really hope S2 has the same kind of modding scene

[pearl jacinth]

me downloading one mod for SoC and watching as the map flips upside down in real time

[hazy helm]

It will never be as free,you can quite literally mod and create new engine in staller modding

[fallen folio]

Like when you think about it, it’s insane how anomaly is a 12 year old mod, like Skyrim is 12 and it feels like a 12 year old game, while anomaly doesn’t

[hazy helm]

Anomaly isnt 12 year old what

[pearl jacinth]

modders completely gutting the xray engine to create a new storyline

[hazy helm]

Anomaly came out 2018

[fallen folio]

Jesus I need to go to sleep someone told me it was 12 and I ate it up

[pearl jacinth]

well i mean you're already in pj's

[fallen folio]

THIS MAN GETS IT

[finite dragon]

I said it was a mod from a 12 year old game, its bedtime for you

[amber tendon]

This shit is bananas

[pearl jacinth]

bonkers even

[fallen folio]

I’m going to bed, good hunting S.T.A.L.K.E.R.S.

[pearl jacinth]

i will die in the emission 👍

[finite dragon]

i hope i finally do

[hazy helm]

Look,anomaly is just another shlock mod from the freeplay genre of mods,freeplay started with CoC,Call of Chernobyl,in 2015,and then loads of forks of COC released,Anomaly is CoM one of these forks,badly updated to OpenXray64

[pearl jacinth]

yknow whats funny about CoP? emissions literally never happened when i didn't have cover

they'd always happen either when i was sleepin, fast travel, or already indoors doing some nonsense

[hazy helm]

CoP ia just a chill and easy experience

[pearl jacinth]

mfw trading some weird red stuff i found in the fire pit and the nearby reactor explodes again

[pearl jacinth]

i feel like this applies to all the games

rrrriiiight up until some bozo accidentally spots you

easy part? depends.

[amber tendon]

I found CoP more difficult than SoC

[pearl jacinth]

the games just got easier as i played in chronological order for me

[hazy helm]

Did you pull a WeeWDiedrich and didnt upgrade?

[amber tendon]

I did

[pearl jacinth]

my best contribution to this community is making this term real

[amber tendon]

I mean I upgraded stuff

[pearl jacinth]

thanks for spelling my name right btw, a lot of people don't LOL

[hazy helm]

Nha CS newbies and not upgrading your gear is like the stereotype hahahaha

[pearl jacinth]

gonna replay and upgrade stuff and watch as i just maul everyone in sight and it's gonna be FUN

I see something suspicious in here...

[fallen folio]

So what’s clear sky’s deal? Like I got a grip of the other factions pretty well, but clear sky always confuses me

[fresh fiber]

Google clear sky then google en passant.

[fallen folio]

Yippee

[manic blade]

Duty - The Zone is dangerous, we must destroy it.

Freedom - The Zone is a gift, we must protect it.

Clear Sky - The Zone is dangerous, but useful. It must be contained and studied.

[hazy helm]

||clear sky is made up by a group of scientists from The Group that did not agree with what was being planned and so broke off||

[spring abyss]

Freedom don't want to protect the zone they want to cut the zone ties with the government and let it free for all, the only faction who wants to protect the zone is the monolith

you don't know your own faction motivation, literally freedom moment

[hazy helm]

the Monolith protect the Monolith not The Zone itself

[manic blade]

I'm too stoned to remember what we do, I just like shooting the guys in red and playing with shiny rocks. But technically since Duty wants to destroy the Zone, Freedom is in a way protecting it.

[spring abyss]

monolith protect the monolith

[spring abyss]

freedom moment

[hazy helm]

stop playing anomaly for a second and actually play the Main Games ffs

[manic blade]

I've played all but CS because it doesn't work on my computer

I actually have never played Anomaly. I tried Gamma and hated it

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/rrane-battal-rrane-battal-kızgın-battal-kızgın-gif-25355985

PLAY IT NOW

[manic blade]

I literally can't

[spring abyss]

I don't even know where the duty freedom hatred come from, freedom is just a bunch of hippies while duty is ex ukraine soldiers who are left behind in the first cnpp raid.

[manic blade]

I download it and it doesn't launch, I had the same error with SoC but for SoC I just had to enable static lighting and it fixed it.

[hazy helm]

its teenagers getting into useless me vs you arguments for the sake of it
at least they arent getting into politics...

[hazy helm]

what error

[spring abyss]

[manic blade]

The game won't launch

[hazy helm]

yes
waht is the error

[spring abyss]

You're trying to execute the game by the exe or by the shortcut?

[hazy helm]

I am asking for post log

or at least error message

[manic blade]

Both, X-ray engine as well, steam, game files. I've tried quite literally everything. It doesn't generate an error message or log

[hazy helm]

you tried installing SRP or smth like that?

[manic blade]

Yes

[hazy helm]

wtf

[midnight tiger]

Duty sits on its ass while freedom actually stops monolith*

[midnight tiger]

insert ironic meme

[fluid abyss]

Dooty be like “wahhh!! we’re too scared of bandits!! Freedom, you deal with the monolithians and mutants flooding out of the zone while we actively contribute to its worsening situation!”

[midnight tiger]

Based take

[icy prism]

can you imagine waking up the next morning and having new information about stalker 2? dreaming is free

[hazy helm]

imagine waking up,seein new S2 info and the info is S2 is delayed

[foggy shale]

Coming next December!

[hazy helm]

awfully positive
all we know is 2023 we dont know day

[foggy shale]

No I meant December 2024, if it was delayed

[hazy helm]

I dont think so

[foggy shale]

Was a joke

[hazy helm]

realistically,probably Q1-Q2 2024,if it is delayed

[proper shadow]

manaleet

[elder wren]

Waking up to a shadow drop would be insanity

[timber verge]

It would be too much. Some had been waiting for this game to come out in 2012. Then in 2018 was announcement again and it's like 5 years flowed after it. Game that flying in time. No surprise if it would got delayed or even declined but it would be dissapointing and exhausting.

[foggy shale]

It wasn’t supposed to be realistic or an actual thought I had. It was just a joke

[hazy helm]

ha...what?

[hazy helm]

do not relate the canceled 2012 Stalker 2 with this Stalker 2,they are massively different

[flat prism]

I’m still hoping for a release window of Q2 2023 which I think is what they originally planned for in the most recent delay

At worst, Q3

[hazy helm]

how hopefull

[flat prism]

Well, tell me your thoughts then!

[manic blade]

I'm excited for the game regardless

I pre-ordered it on PC and Xbox

[flat prism]

So you paid for it twice?

[manic blade]

Yes

[flat prism]

💸

[hazy helm]

like I said,hopefully Q1-Q2 2024

[flat prism]

So you think the game will be delayed again? Or are you just being “safe” for your own good?

Ah just being realistic. Sorry didn’t see your previous message

If it’s delayed

[hazy helm]

I think,and this is my own opinion,made with the same information as you have,that yes it will be delayed
I have been saying this since the first delay actually

[flat prism]

I don’t understand why though. Didn’t they say they were very confident they will release it this year?

[pearl jacinth]

i've taken the plunge and am now extracting anomaly

[manic blade]

If it makes either of you guys feel any better I had misread the date as December 2022 and had a very disappointing Christmas

[flat prism]

Okay well, I hope we all know that December 2023 is a placeholder date and probably will release earlier if they’re still on track

[hazy helm]

they also said they were going to release it in 2021,and after that in 2022,and now they say in 2023 god knows when

sorry for being skeptical

but I remain with my 2022 opinion,the game will be delayed to 2024,Q1,and if it isnt,then it should

[pearl jacinth]

dw i've at least played all the main games so i won't be as confuse

[flat prism]

It’s okay to be skeptical but I’m just curious of your reasoning as to why it should be delayed if you don’t work for GSC and haven’t seen any raw gameplay footage of it yet

[pearl jacinth]

if a game needs more time to cook, delay it so it doesn't come out half-baked. simple as

[hazy helm]

from what I have seen and what I know even in 2022 I knew the game should get the most time it needed and Q1-2 of 2024 seems like realistically trhe time it needs

[flat prism]

Well, what have you seen? Are we talking trailers or… do you have some insider information? 😅

[hazy helm]

following the project closely since 2018 and seeing the trailers and leaks,yhea,Im not gonna say anymore about the leaks tho

this is just my opinion

[flat prism]

The leaks? I coulda swore they were very old and don’t represent what the game looks like today

[hazy helm]

they dont but they can still tell you a lot about how the game was and you can speculate a lot from there

like I said,I wont talk about the leaks

[flat prism]

Ok I respect your opinion and understand where you’re coming from. Honestly, if they game was delayed for the last time, then yes I think that Q1-Q2 2024 would be a realistic date. However, I’m going to stick with an optimistic mindset and I believe this experience may be coming sooner than we think.

[hazy helm]

you dont understand,this is my optimistic hat

[flat prism]

Okay I apparently don’t understand then 👍 but I still respect your opinion

[pearl jacinth]

what does the hat do

[manic blade]

Is the modifications chat for troubleshooting or is it to direct any talk about mods strictly there?

[pearl jacinth]

troubleshooting and mod creation and stuff can go in there yeah

afaik you're allowed to talk about mods here

[manic blade]

Very well then, I'm currently playing Wheel of Time and having a blast. Enjoying how it feels like a main game.

you can talk about them but you shouldn't ask for help or troubleshoot here

[solid dome]

Stop

[ruby quarry]

In SoC after you turned off X-16

Some Duty squads can be seen there

So does that mean Duty occupies Yantar in Stalker 2?

[hazy helm]

how should we know?we havent played the game yet

[amber tendon]

he's trying to play the "leak" trick where you try to spoil the map and you get warning :)

[ruby quarry]

Dude I’m just asking a question

[amber tendon]

its a joke

[ruby quarry]

But fr tho will Duty occupy Yantar in S2?

[amber tendon]

we don't know

[amber tendon]

If we go freaking conspiracy theory way the fact that "Varta" is going to exist maybe Duty will lose their influence because both factions are trying to achieve one of the same goals

but if the fact that "Varta" or guards or how do they call it in dub exists then something went wrong in Duty's plans

Do I make sense?

[hazy helm]

its Ward dude

waht

[median path]

I just finished all 3 games and goddamnit, its the best games I have ever played

[timber verge]

good to hear, what do you think about clear sky?

[median path]

In my opinion, it's my least favorite, because I felt like it was less creepy or like the feeling that i'm alone if you understand what I'm saying. Overall, it was a different mood than the other 2, but I liked it. What I disliked the most was the "faction war" to capture new territories, I thought that it made me feel rush

but my favorite is def CoP, especially towards the end, with Strelok coming back

[sour cedar]

Question about SoC, should i trust that Snitch guy from the Bar?

It's my first playthrough that's why i ask 😄

[regal sapphire]

An emission just ended but I cant call for reinforcements to capture bases/camps and I also cant leave the zone I'm in because it says "you can't travel while emissions". And I was trying to get the no emission extra feature from SRP but it requires me to overwrite a file which I obviously cant do
I'm playing with the TFWAO merge which means I cant use any mods that require me to overwrite files.

[regal sapphire]

I kinda forgot who that is but I'm fairly certain its the one that gives you coordinates to find strelok
and im not gonna tell you what happens after bc spoiler Ig

[sour cedar]

Aight thanks

[regal sapphire]

yea I didnt ask him for the coordinates though

actually I did but ended up not going

[sour cedar]

And just another question. I failed the task where I have to escort the professor or doctor or whatever to Yantar(Kruglov or something was his name) and I don't have any saves from before to load. Is that task important? Am I gonna have consequences?

[regal sapphire]

no its not important he also died for me

he died super quick lol I was wondering the same thing when it happened to me

[sour cedar]

That mission is badly made

[regal sapphire]

lol yea

bc you can actually have him survive

but its like unbelievably difficult because Kruglov just walks into the bullets iirc

[sour cedar]

Yeah...

Thanks so much for the help man

[regal sapphire]

np

[regal sapphire]

someone please help one day at least

[sand fiber]

my condolences

[pearl jacinth]

there was this one snork who was stuck running in place, it was hilarious
i get closer to get a better look at this comedic creature and it immediately jumps at me

what a being

[pearl jacinth]

alright now that ive played it i can give my verdict;

it's neat. og trilogy is better though and i'm glad i played those first. i can see why people may despise it as much as they do

i can't really complain about much considering that it's free

i will now be trying other mods

[lament prism]

anyone know if i buy armor from a certain faction (for example duty) and i wear it, will i be targeted by their opposing faction? if yes, how do i make this not happen

[pearl jacinth]

don't worry, you won't.

i've worn duty armor into freedom territory thousands of times and they didn't even bat an eye

[lament prism]

thanks

but where can i find some of the best armor in general

im in rostok atm on stalker anomaly

[pearl jacinth]

the shopkeepers n stuff usually have good armor

[lament prism]

i know but which region. Or does that not matter and I just have to keep leveling up my rep

[pearl jacinth]

it doesn't really matter all that much tbh

just look over the stats of the stuffs and see what works for you

[median hazel]

Hello, I wasn't playing stalker since December. Today i opened Call of Pripyat but I had only 1 or 3 FPS. The same with Clear Sky. Last time I was playing it I had definitely more than 30 FPS in both those games. What should I do to increase FPS to the level that was last time?

[spring abyss]

Try lowering the grass density and use static lights

[median hazel]

But I haven't changed anything in settings and FPS have lowered

[spring abyss]

There's something wrong with your machine then

FPS in other games are ok

It's strange, isn't it?

[spring abyss]

[hazy helm]

Make sure your drivers are updated and everything is up to snuff

[haughty gorge]

[regal sapphire]

once again please help

if not I will die

[sour cedar]

I'd like to help but I'm a beginner idk

could loading a save from before help?

[regal sapphire]

thats ok

[regal sapphire]

havent tried that one I should probably do so when I get back home

[sour cedar]

Try it out, if it wasn't for F6, I'd never get past the early game lmao

[golden night]

How do I get out of a spawn trap in SOC?

[sour cedar]

what do you mean a spawn trap?

[vestal plaza]

I guess he means a bad quicksave moment

[sour cedar]

well switching areas, a.k.a moving to next levels is an automatic save

i think that should be the closest save to load

[median hazel]

yes, they are... I'll try reinstalling the game

[regal sapphire]

in what way are you trapped

[golden night]

i fixed it

[regal sapphire]

oh cool

[solid dome]

@dry imp You do know sooner or later questions have to be given rightful answers

I'm one way sick of asking and see no purpose of #🔍┃ask_gscarchive whatsoever, another I shall keep the fire burning.

[fair harbor]

I personally think stalker 2 should have emotes, like, imagine killing an entire military squad and hitting the griddy afterwards

It's a powerful move that will completely demoralize the npcs

[solid dome]

Very poor attempt at making use of sarcasm

[fair harbor]

No I'm serious

It would be really funny to do co-op with emotes and doing some stupid stuff all the time

And also single player

[hazy helm]

You do know there won't be coop

[fair harbor]

Wait there won't?

[hazy helm]

The developers have said and keep saying no coop

[fair harbor]

I swear they said there would be co-op

[hazy helm]

The devs said the opposite

[solid dome]

Never ever did claim anything like that

[hazy helm]

In what world you live in man

[fair harbor]

I think i misremembered something

[solid dome]

Monolith thinks its Ubisoft developing

Wowzers

[fair harbor]

It would be cool to play story mode co-op and goof around tho

It would break the immersion most likely but it would be fun still

Either way I'm glad they'll stick with single player only

[solid dome]

Coop defo fun

Though if I have to be super honest with you

I doubt we ever have the slightest chance playing that in a way it feels okay

Best coop would be getting a team of your folks and going Pripyat IRL

[fair harbor]

Yeah it wouldn't feel like stalker

[solid dome]

With your own guide knowing what's dangerous and what not

[hazy helm]

I mean

Staller IS based on 90s action and sci fi movie stuff so

[solid dome]

First thing I'd have done if I lived closer to Ukraine

Well I ain't that far but still not like border to border

[fair harbor]

I do have plans to go to Chernobyl one day and have fun doing whatever

I'll explore every inch of that place

[solid dome]

I have also but will never happen

[fair harbor]

When I start working I'll start doing heavy planning to do that

[solid dome]

What I would do is sit on the tallest building and watch the sunrise/sunset for hours on end

[fair harbor]

It's been a really big dream of mine to go there, can't just let it go through the window like that

[solid dome]

Where are you from if you don't mind asking?

[fair harbor]

South America

Brazil

[solid dome]

Zamn

[fair harbor]

I'm never going to play stalker 2 most likely since a good PC is way too expensive here

So instead I'll plan to go to Pripyat

[solid dome]

Can you come by my place and pick me up

[fair harbor]

Sure where you at?

[solid dome]

But you need to smuggle me thru the border cause I don't have papers

[solid dome]

Bulgaria

[fair harbor]

Alright sounds doable

I'll hide you inside a car seat and get you through frfr

Like the back one since it's large

[solid dome]

Inside a car seat?

Holy big balls

You'd have to chop me in two, one side goes under the car and the other..

in a hidden compartment of the trunk

You tie my bottom half under the car and hope I won't fall off during the ride

[fair harbor]

Nah you'll be fine

I've done this before, not telling you how or why, just know it's for a good cause

[solid dome]

Have you ever travelled to Ukraine, son?

[fair harbor]

Nope, I smuggled people across the venezuelan border. Like, from Venezuela to Brazil

Gave them new opportunities to the greatest extent

[solid dome]

Brazil sounds cool imho

[fair harbor]

It is if you go to the correct parts

[solid dome]

But if I had to go SA, I'd go Argentina

Why? No idea, people seem to have good taste of music - I have as well

[fair harbor]

I mean, if I were an European tourist I'd go to Argentina first too

It's a bit safer, it's cheaper, has really good views and the people are also really nice

Compared to Brazil at least

[hazy helm]

If I was booking a vacation I wouldnt choose SA to begin with

[solid dome]

I heard people are extra cool too

[fair harbor]

Most of the time yes

[solid dome]

Where then? First thought of location?

[hazy helm]

O Estreito de Gibraltar

[fair harbor]

Is that Portuguese?

[hazy helm]

Yes

[fair harbor]

Oh from Portugal I get it

Is that east or west Portugal?

[solid dome]

Gibraltar...

Wouldn't you get insta-gibbed upon stepping inside the border?

[fair harbor]

Nah

[solid dome]

I'm with the poor jokes again

[hazy helm]

Portugal is Portugal
If you mean yhe Islands Im from mainland

[solid dome]

Sick of myself at times, I tell you

[fair harbor]

Não tipo, se é perto do litoral ou mais pro interior

Got lazy to say this in English so said it in Portuguese

[fair harbor]

It be like that sometimes

[hazy helm]

All I'll say is Im from the North

[fair harbor]

Oh alright

So the Estreito de Gibraltar is probably near you

I'll check it out if I can, Portugal is really pretty and historical imo

[hazy helm]

Anyway we should move this to #💬┃en_offtop

[fair harbor]

True tho

[pearl jacinth]

was never looking for one until now xd

[pearl jacinth]

staller

[hazy helm]

Autocorrect

[pearl jacinth]

one time i turned it off and my speech immediately became incomprehensible

never again

[regal sapphire]

once again I need help

[hazy helm]

sorry man,I cant help with that

[spare fossil]

Opps

biff snouhou

[west harbor]

fun fact: in the french version of clear sky, sidorovich calls controllers "manipulators"

and burers are called "domovoïs" in the french version of call of pripyat

[pearl jacinth]

interesting

[regal sapphire]

yay I now have 500kg of carry space

inventory

[regal sapphire]

ngl the main reason why im playing clear sky with mods is because the main game was so quick
you dont need artifacts and you also dont need to meet sidorovich more than once
I just pressed through the story and did a couple side missions here and there

[hazy helm]

SoC is also quick if you ignore anything thats not the main story

[regal sapphire]

yea

although I did spend more time in vanilla SoC

btw I fixed the first issue but now I have a second one

Im using AO for clear sky and my aug has a bug where the scope is completely dark

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[amber tendon]

Ranjid

[haughty gorge]

Wish you too buddy, keep the positivity

[golden night]

How can I get out of a softlock in CS?

[hazy helm]

?

[golden night]

Im bleeding and on really low HP

[hazy helm]

Just heal

[golden night]

With no bandages

or medkit

[hazy helm]

Simple as
Reload a earlier save

[golden night]

I dont have one

[hazy helm]

Well a shame

Unless you download a trainer or cheat,just load the earliest save you have and redo it

[manic blade]

can anyone here who speaks Russian write what the Wishgranter says to you with the latin alphabet to me? The only part I know is "Idi ko mne"

[fair oyster]

Hello stalkers. Does any of you know Beard's real name?

[fair oyster]

https://stalker.fandom.com/wiki/Wish_Granter#Dialogue
Does this help, stalker?

stalker wiki - dialogue

[hazy helm]

its beard

beard is beard

[fair oyster]

no name to him?

interesting

[manic blade]

Yes! Thank you

[fair oyster]

Amazing!

[regal sapphire]

Hey! That kinda looks like me.

[west harbor]

fun fact: in the french vesion of clear sky, Scar is named "Le Balafré" which means "the scarred one"

and strelok was named "Le Tatoué" in soc

[spring abyss]

french

[west harbor]

the french translations are actually superior to the english ones

especially the dub

[spring abyss]

it still french

[west harbor]

french hate in 2023

[spring abyss]

I don't hate french
