Yep

[hazy helm]

yes,very

there is no bias in the stalker server heheh

[distant knoll]

lol

Also is there like a companion system in the games

[hazy helm]

there isnt

[distant knoll]

Ok thanks

[solid dome]

Bruh

No more announcements on Disconnectcord?

[hazy helm]

they are not companions

[solid dome]

Twitter has it, Discord doesn't. This is plain digital racism.

[hazy helm]

there is no companion system

[kindred helm]

multi-fuel stoves are obviously better than just a normal field kit, but do they have infinite uses or anything like that?

[hazy helm]

what?

what are you talking about?

[kindred helm]

apologies. i found out about it right after i talked since i'm playing it right now lol. yeah the multi-fuel stove is pretty dang good

[hazy helm]

waht stove?

what mod you even playing

[kindred helm]

whatchu talkin bout. oh well i'm playing the anomaly mod if that's what you're referring to

[dry imp]

bro.

i knew it

[kindred helm]

didn't realize they would have added new things

[dry imp]

i dont think he knows about the actual stalker games

[hazy helm]

why do you say that

[kindred helm]

i sadly have never played them yet

[hazy helm]

rbuh

I put my trust in you

[dry imp]

rbuh

[kindred helm]

lol

i more than likely will eventually. it's not that i didn't want to pay for them or anything

[hazy helm]

I am a mod and everything,BUT,you could get a eyepatch and go to somalia

[kindred helm]

sounds like a nice vacation

[still furnace]

they're all dated asf

[kindred helm]

that's okay. it's about the experience. if i really cared about how dated a game is i wouldn't be playing anomaly either lol

[still furnace]

vanilla originals are much worse than anomaly

[dry imp]

this guy.

[still furnace]

fanboy incoming, watch out everyone

[dry imp]

said the anomaly worshipper

muh freeplay sandbox!!!

[hazy helm]

not really

[still furnace]

i play call of pripyat for your information squire

[hazy helm]

CoP is like the worst of them all

[dry imp]

then why are you saying anomaly is better

[hazy helm]

still a VERY good game

great game

but the weakest of all stalker games

[still furnace]

aesthetically

[hazy helm]

and no Anomaly is nothing like stalker

[dry imp]

no.

[still furnace]

seriously?

[hazy helm]

it doesnt try to be stalker even

[dry imp]

it completely ruins the aesthetic

[hazy helm]

its a mod,that is all

[still furnace]

what ruins the aesthetic, better graphics and better looking mods?

[kindred helm]

interesting. i didn't realize that

that isn't exactly what it would be\

[hazy helm]

well,CS builds had better graphics than CS...art direction

[dry imp]

the graphics dont look better. sure it adds more foliage in some places, but it ruins the original artstyle. plus the models dont look much better

[hazy helm]

CS is still very good looking

[dry imp]

plus anomaly has nothing to do

[hazy helm]

Anomaly is a 64 bit adaptation of Last Day,which will,forever annoy me

[dry imp]

Call of Chernobyl chads

[hazy helm]

Call of the Zone

man

I'll also try out Statson's CoC modpack,some other time

[kindred helm]

so if i were to like anomaly a lot would that mean i'd like any of the other games?

[hazy helm]

no relation
the games arent survivalist boringness simulato's
the stalker games are Arcade Action Exploration FPS with focus on story and world

just liking anomaly or not means nothing in liking stlaker or not

[dry imp]

no

[hazy helm]

you may like stalker and not like anomaly,you may like both,you may like anomaly and not stalker

they are separate enteties

[dry imp]

enteties

[kindred helm]

very interesting. i didn't realize there would be such a difference in between

[hazy helm]

well,Anomaly comes from a misery based mod

heavy quotations on that

[kindred helm]

well i appreciate the explanation

lol yeah i see that

[hazy helm]

they really arent comparable

[gilded sentinel]

This is the dumbest thing I’ve heard this month

[kindred gull]

I play gamma now and I enjoy it but the 3 originals I loved. Will never forget seeing a snork for the first time in Rostok back on Shadow of Chernobyl.

[still furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-raulbeixx-gif-18324847

[gilded sentinel]

Well they are pure evil

[gilded sentinel]

Nope , most of the mutants were literally changed by the noosphere. That’s why they’re all so aggressive and blood thirsty . All dogs being blind , things like flesh and pseudo dog being a thing although they weren’t even experimented on

That’s the lore for you

[analog lake]

yo, I have finished shadow of chernobyl and I dont wanna play clear sky, i know its a prequel

so should I just play call of pripyat and skip clear sky

sorry for typing slow

how do you mean ?

[gilded sentinel]

To be fair I did skip cs at first since of its bad (undeserved ) reputation

[hazy helm]

you shouold play Clear Sky

it will allow you to understand the story better

and set stuff for CoP

from a gameplay and story point

[analog lake]

idk I just want to understand the story of anomaly and gamma also,

[hazy helm]

wdym the story of anomalyu and gamma

there is no story\

its a freeplay mod

[analog lake]

they have some sort of story dont they

[hazy helm]

look
if all you wanna do is play Gamma and Anomaly,and dont wanna play stalker,just go play them,s'fine

if youre forcing yourself to play stalker bc you wanna play gamma or anoamly,dont

they arent related

they are different

[analog lake]

so are they set before all the games then /

[gilded sentinel]

Worst story mods could ever produce , If you want a mod with a long story try NS , goldsphere etc

[analog lake]

?

[hazy helm]

Gamma is literally just a gameplay overhaul\

and Anomaly is literally a fanfic made by a 13 year old

they arent stalker games

they are mods

simple as

[analog lake]

alright very anti anomaly and gamma i take it

[gilded sentinel]

Bruh

[hazy helm]

if you like it you like it Im just laying something down
Anomaly and Gamma arent stalker,they are just mods,just like NLC,OGSR,OP2.2,Winds of Time

[gilded sentinel]

Why play Anomaly when you can play NLC

[hazy helm]

if you wanna play Anomaly go play anomaly no worries

[gilded sentinel]

Better in every way

[hazy helm]

dont scare the hoes away

i cant post screenshots here maybe pv?

wtf are you even talking about?you cant get bloodsucker skin in the stalker games

[sturdy zodiac]

Pretty sure he's talking about Anomaly.

https://tenor.com/view/good-morning-wake-up-wakey-wakey-awaken-gif-26734899

im new here so idk sry

[hazy helm]

why are you asking anomaly questions here

[finite dragon]

where then

[sturdy zodiac]

If you've got questions relating to that you can check in the Anomaly Discord.

[hazy helm]

anomaly server or the mod channel

also

just double click it

[finite dragon]

nothing happens

[hazy helm]

then its not a equipable item

[sturdy zodiac]

or you don't have a suit with artifact slots

do you know what a artifact is?

[sturdy zodiac]

[finite dragon]

bro i started this game yesterday how should i know

[hazy helm]

just clearing bases

[hazy helm]

I mean,you did play stalker right>?

[finite dragon]

i think u can get an artifact from an anomaly with some sort of device just idk which one

[hazy helm]

[finite dragon]

most likely im talking nonsense

[hazy helm]

I assume you have never played a Stalker game and jumped into anomaly bc you saw someone play on youtube with most likely either EFP or Gamma modpack

[finite dragon]

nah found anomaly somewhere but played stalker once didnt know how and quit it

[hazy helm]

I am very confused

[finite dragon]

you can assume i just didnt play

[hazy helm]

well...

do you want to play stalker or do you just want to play anomaly?

[spring abyss]

Anomaly 🤢

[finite dragon]

could play stalker how much does it cost?

[hazy helm]

if you dont want to it's fine,forcing yourself to play smth you dont feel like playing will only make you hate it

but to answer the question,like 15 for Shadow of Chernobyl the first

[finite dragon]

i have one stalker game on cd but my pc doesnt have a cd slot

[hazy helm]

sail the seven seas
GSC has retired the service that allowed you to get a key if you had a CD unfortunatly

[violet oar]

Cheers mate!

[finite dragon]

nah im having fun in anomaly for now its kinda hard tho

[violet oar]

i remember activating my retail copys on GOG, do you mean that?

[hazy helm]

Anomaly has nothing to do with the stalker games,so dont compare them,that is what it comes down to,anomaly is a mod that veers into the perspective of survival hardcore misery style gameplay while the original games are arcade adventure exploration FPS's with a heavy focus on story and setting
liking anomaly wont mean you will the stalker games and vice versa

[hazy helm]

dunno if GOG allows that but GSC used to have a dedicated site where you could input your CD code and get a Steam code,they shut it down tho

[violet oar]

OH MAN

i would have loved to have them on steam :(

guess i will buy them again anyway lul

[finite dragon]

i remember having shadow of chernobyl on cd

[violet oar]

ah damn, i cant post images here, i forgor

[hazy helm]

can just post them on #💬┃en_offtop and ping us

[violet oar]

kinda addicted to stalker recently, never really played the games, but i had them as retail waaaaaaaaay back when they came out.
Jumped into the series with anomaly, then realized i maybe should play the originals first.

Yesterday i was playing till 2am, time went by so fast xD

[grave portal]

Yeah, often use it earlier

[grave portal]

I have one germany retail SoC version, but i more like design of ukrainian retail version of SoC

[spring abyss]

Anomaly

[spring abyss]

Hey, the german version got any censorship?

[violet oar]

You guys arent fans of it?

[spring abyss]

No

[grave portal]

idk, it says "full deutshe version" 16+

[hazy helm]

I would lead a better life if ppl stopped reminding me of anomaly

probably

(not really)

[spring abyss]

Interesting

I wish i got this version to compare with the steam one

[grave portal]

Patch 1,0000

[hazy helm]

you could get your hands on it p easely I think

[spring abyss]

Hummmm probably have infinite armor

I remember this bug when i played, i just realized that the armor condition decrease when i update my soc

[grave portal]

Remembering something similar, play SoC on release, on many old DVD`s version 1.0000

Sometimes 1.0001

[spring abyss]

i wish i could go back to this time just to get some cds with old games versions

[hazy helm]

shouldnt be that hard tbh

Im sure its in some russian or polish pirate forum somewhere

[spring abyss]

[grave portal]

I try to collect different version from different countries, so it possible and now)

[spring abyss]

You should make video explaining the differences

[grave portal]

I think about this, it`s good idea, but it needs some time to keep it all logically in video

[spring abyss]

Yeah this project would be great 👍

[violet oar]

may i ask why?

[spring abyss]

No

[violet oar]

hm okey :/

[hazy helm]

I feel like Im agonna be sick if I have to explain why anomaly is a bad mod for the 100th time but in short,its a hypocritical project without an ounce of innovation being propped as the height of modding with ppl falsely believing that it is the defacto experience when,its not even trying to be that
anomaly in itself,is just a bad and boring freeplay mod,the community around it are obnoxious and suffocating,but that is all,if I wasnt always being reminded of it I would not think about it

[spring abyss]

[silver pagoda]

anomaly by far the best mod across all modding communities of all games, haters just mad cuz they cant play it (enjoy death and lobby screen kids)

[finite dragon]

embed fail

[gilded sentinel]

You honestly shouldn’t listen to him , original games are boring and outdated. Anomaly is a great mod but might be too hard for newcomer

I suggest trying NLC 7 a very newcomer friendly mod , which lets you slide in the stalker perfectly + it’s free

Be sure to tell us your thoughts on it when you download it

[shrewd goblet]

would anyone be willing to walk me through how to properly mod stalker anomaly?

[silver pagoda]

there are plenty of youtube videos

[shrewd goblet]

they dont help obviously thats why im here

[silver pagoda]

its a bit lengthy to install it, have you seen the instructions on anomaly server?

[shrewd goblet]

yeah ive read instructions, watched videos. tried to just wing it, and theres always something that confuses me

[gilded sentinel]

Reserved for future Anomaly negotiations

[hazy helm]

I feel like I need to say this bc some ppl will genuinely believe this he's joking

[gilded sentinel]

I’m just a funny jokester

A silly little guy

[spring abyss]

Ask this in the anomaly server friend they will know better

[sleek creek]

well i finished all of them im just curious which one it is

It seems really demanding for 1080p 60 fps on high, or is this just the Unreal Engine deal?

Specs you see on the website and store pages aren't final

[halcyon elm]

hullo

[halcyon elm]

wondering if i can get help with something - I got a radiation suit but i seem to still be getting absolutely shafted by radiation in some areas?

I feel like I might have missed something key

doing the brain scorcher mission and i have the ssp 99m suit but still get nuked by rads

[spring abyss]

You're probably using a radiated artifact

Took it of get rad pills and vodka

Stay out the areas where the hud became yellow and you will be fine

[halcyon elm]

will give that a shot. I think i am ok on the artifact side of things but when i entered some areas it said i had the wrong suit or something

naturally i am a bit confused aha

[spring abyss]

You can finish the game without any suit

[halcyon elm]

oh wild hahah

[spring abyss]

The problem is you're using a irradiated artifact

Check the artifacts stats

Look for radiation

[halcyon elm]

none of them mention adding Rads though

[spring abyss]

Got any pic?

You can show on #📸┃screens_and_videos

If not

Is bc some areas are naturally irradiated

So always have a bunch of antirads with you

[solid dome]

Okay who deleted my message here?

It's not like what I said isn't true...

#🔍┃ask_gscarchive message

[dry imp]

almost all artifacts have radiation

[halcyon elm]

i am confused hahah am i reading the game wrong?

for Stalker Chernobyl?

[dry imp]

yeah

artifacts in SoC almost all have radiation

what artifacts do you have

[halcyon elm]

@dry imp check #📸┃screens_and_videos

I do have the Zone reclamation project mod installed tho

dunno if that changes anything? IIRC i read it was mostly QOL and general fixes

[hazy helm]

the cahnges it makes in the name of "QoL" are most often than not simply puzzling and not really QoL
but I dont think they rebalanced artifacts

[midnight tiger]

A few artifacts negate radiation

[sleek creek]

Uh

[finite dragon]

anyways

[exotic beacon]

Finally watching the movie stalker was based off of and soon will read the novel

[finite dragon]

beautiful movie, watch everything else by the director

[exotic beacon]

I’ve watched a few movies of his prior, but I have recently gotten into the games and I thought to appreciate it more I should watch the movie as soon as I could

[finite dragon]

yeah definitely, i was a fan of the movie/book/slav vibes before playing the games

[exotic beacon]

Until a few weeks ago I haven’t even heard of the games

I knew of the movie though and it was on my watch list lol

[frozen aurora]

Hi Guys

There has been no information from the developer about stalker 2 for a long time

[finite dragon]

It's objectively sus

[dry imp]

true

[frozen aurora]

we are already at the end of April and there is still no release date

as a stalker fan, I support and wait

[finite dragon]

eh, it's good to be transparent to people when you hype preorders but it's also 2023

[violet stump]

Not based off, merely one of many sources of inspiration.

[exotic beacon]

Yeah I understand, but it’s still nice to see the things that inspired the game to even exist

[finite dragon]

definitely the primary source, the whole zone with artifacts that people collect and anomalies was established by the book. they definitely did their own thing though and have their own lore of course inspired by different things.

[violet stump]

I’d say it’s just as much based on Strugatskys’ “The Forgotten Experiment”. Emissions and human origin of the zone do come from there.

Lem’s Solaris was the main source of inspiration for anarchy Cell

[exotic beacon]

I’ll have to watch those later then

[finite dragon]

Haven't read Solaris but should. I have read Lem though and see the movie

I picked the scientist faction and got s quest to escort some scientists to some ground and back

Or talk to them
There should be some dialogues about that

[spring abyss]

Send the logs file

[sly viper]

anyone els feeling the thirst for a new marketing drop?

[spring abyss]

Save, reload the save and talk with them

[solid dome]

Everyone besides the GSC marketing team basically.

Those who pre-ordered do have the right the most

Game industry, I mean the unions who stand behind the game industry, should get off their asses and create a law for basically letting any customer who pre-ordered a game, be able to sue the company after certain period of time if the company refused to publish raw material representing the current and possibly, final view on the look

View on the look?

Dude I am typing without seeing what I type

I mean the product

[finite dragon]

game industry is very not unionized

[solid dome]

Well then, abusing will continue and will rise to new levels

[finite dragon]

yeah well at least in America, we give way too much leeway to union bust. it's getting back in "the conversation" since covid but still sucks

[solid dome]

And GSC aren't the first to be jumping on the "Pre-order first and we'll show you the real deal wherever we want"

note that this could probably change

[hazy helm]

this will change

[velvet fable]

I know it is. Just an info whether it's likely that it will change, for the better, in the upcoming months. I've seen games promise better optimization throughout the alphas and the betas and whatnot, only to get a broken non-optimized game on launch.

[finite dragon]

In the sense of specs going higher?Could be troublesome for some peeps, recently built a new one but my old rig just barely matched the recommended specs

[hazy helm]

the specs will change and we will be given more info about what they mean,when the games closer to completion

ah

personally i think it's going to be higher but seems we lack info

no you didn't lmao

you're anxiously waiting like the rest of us

[slender bolt]

will stalker 2 have multiplayer

[pearl jacinth]

yes, after release

[slender bolt]

is it pvp or pve

[pearl jacinth]

dunno.

[slender bolt]

ok thank u

[solid dome]

Yeah, news are no news are to be news'd

[solid dome]

It's Reddit vs 4chan

[dry imp]

pvp

only pvp

[unreal oar]

Is the physical version of the STALKER 2 ultimate edition for pc not available in the US? The xbox version is available on the website, and pc is shown along with it, but its grayed out and apparently not available.

[finite dragon]

no news is good news right

[solid dome]

👆

[solid dome]

BREAKING NEWS: No news are to be found in the vicinity. Go away.

[finite dragon]

what if in 10 years from now we're still chatting here to new users asking about stalker 2 and clowning on anomaly

[unreal oar]

Bro 💀

I haven't even played anomaly

I'm a trilogy guy

[balmy forum]

10 years from now: Stalker 4 on UE7... Stalker 2 looks old

[solid dome]

In 10 years from now Anomaly's page would be deleted and MODB may have turned into porno website

[balmy forum]

Meanwhile Stalker will have 2 million mods on steam workshop

[icy spear]

Is pre order more expensive

[solid dome]

Pre-ordering means buying illegal substances

Don't spread society's problems. Fight them!

[velvet fable]

Search "preorder south park" on youtube, to get an answer what you're getting by preordering.
As much as I love the stalker universe, I'll wait for the reviews. It's better not to indulge companies with such poor practices. 'member when there were no preorders?

[visual jolt]

just finished the trilogy for the first time the other day, what mods should I go for? Thinking about lost alpha or misery

[gilded sentinel]

Depends on what you want to see

Build vibe , og plot extended , free play , story based mods etc

[visual jolt]

something akin to CoP, preferably hardcore and story based

[gilded sentinel]

Well , there’s plenty of that

I would suggest you NLC 7 . It’s a hardcore (especially at the beginning) mod , which is basically Soc but it’s plot has been severely changed making it both more misterious and honestly mind blowing in the end. Every aspect of the game is more or less changed and made more realistic

It’s heavily based on the dialogues , you get into gunfights in around 10 times through the whole game. Although there’s plenty of shooting mutants + they added new weapons and a few new locations including all new ones from cs and a few cut from soc

It being a lot longer than original . One of the main things going for this mod is it’s variability . You can save Nimble without killing bandits or peacefully resolve conflict between Skull and freedom

If you aren’t scared of a challenge I suggest you go for that

[visual jolt]

yeah I just looked it up it looks fairly interesting, not a lot about it online either so I'll have to just give it a go and see what its about. Thanks for the rec!

[gilded sentinel]

Np , if you actually play it , feel free to ask me whatever you need , it’s a hard mod and there’s not much eng guides out there

[visual jolt]

also would you say this mod is fairly stable? should I keep the campfire saves or have save anywhere in case of crashes?

[gilded sentinel]

I’m playing 3.8.1 which is the newest version , which only has Rus language for now and definitely has no problems with campfires

In 3.0 I didnt catch any problems with that, so I don’t think it’s an issue

[visual jolt]

alrighty, and I should install the machine translation for eng dialog correct?

[gilded sentinel]

I guess it’s a question to this lad @hazy helm , since I don’t play with eng and can’t say if it’s good or not. But I remember him saying it was ok

[gilded sentinel]

I’d also suggest watching Kramers video on it , basically explaining all the new things added to the game

[hazy helm]

its machine translated,you can understand what the original sectence meant and sometimes it just makes funny mistakes,its on the better side

[visual jolt]

oh okay, that's the only eng version available right?

[hazy helm]

dunno,its the only repack I know of,its on the C-Con server,keatsy made it

[small solstice]

hello, is better to play soc, prypiat and clear sky, before to play anomaly?

[gilded sentinel]

You think so ?

[hazy helm]

it comes down to do you want to play stalker or do you just want to play anomaly?they arent related

anomaly is simply a mod detached from stalker

only thing it shares is setting

[small solstice]

i haven't played prypiat and clear sky

i hope anomaly has different story

[gilded sentinel]

No story

[hazy helm]

if you want to play stalker play the stalker games in order of release
if you dont care about stalker and are just doing this to get to anomaly as fast as you can dont bother

[small solstice]

i've readed that anomaly has some custom campaign

[gilded sentinel]

Most boring campaign known to stalker mods

[hazy helm]

Anomaly's story is a bad retelling of the original+a bad reformated build stuff,all done by a 11y old who only watched marvel

its complete crap

dont bother

[small solstice]

so why people install anomaly?

[hazy helm]

overhyped

[gilded sentinel]

Because ppl at YouTube say it’s good

[hazy helm]

my fav guntubber has shown 30 minutes of walking OMG I must consoom

[small solstice]

i'm downloading ogsr for replay soc

[gilded sentinel]

Who bothers to think with their own head in this day and age ?

[hazy helm]

youre better of like that OGSR is actually good

[small solstice]

yes, i've finished soc, and want to restart with new quests, with ogsr

[hazy helm]

which OGSR fork you playing

[sudden ember]

yo where am i supposed to find keycards in DEAD AIR REVOLUTION im not sure what im doing wrong

[small solstice]

ogsr fork?

[hazy helm]

which OGSR are you playing

[small solstice]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/ogsr-mod-repack-from-serega-lus-with-english-patch/downloads/repack-by-sl-stalker-ogsr-mod-ck-english-patch

is good, to have new quests?

is standalone?

[hazy helm]

this is the best repack in my opinion

youll be good

its standalone

[small solstice]

perfect

usually i play stalker and all games, in vr, with vorpx

[hazy helm]

why

[small solstice]

i like to play in 3d

[sleek tundra]

OK but where Russian translation

We have Russian players in #504592667716354048

They might know Russian better than English

Just because I can read French doesn't mean I want everything to be in French

They used to make russian translations in the past

Now they don't, even though a big amount of players are Russian

Even more than Ukrainian probably

Doubt it, since they only stopped recently

Unless they give us an actual reason, this'll just look like discrimination

[long tusk]

It's wrong to blame fans of the series for the war

[sleek tundra]

They stopped posting the translations exactly in the russian hacker announcement

What Russians did? You mean what the government did? Russia is getting a lot of deserters, because Russians don't want to fight

Hell are they supposed to do, run to the forest and try to survive on berries?

Probably because they were drafted

Ever heard of world war 2? Essentially the same thing Germany did

[amber vessel]

Rip

[sleek tundra]

How were they supposed to know he was a nutcase?

[fleet glacier]

Oh Come on! Again!

[sleek tundra]

This was back in the late 1930s, information weren't easy to find

You couldn't look up everything a politician did on Wikipedia

[stiff orbit]

Good morning everyone. I see the chat is very lively this day

[sleek tundra]

Yes, again. Do you play stalker anomaly?

[fleet glacier]

The Ping Bruh, ALWAYS!

[sleek tundra]

I like how we went from talking about Russian translations, to the Ukrainian war, and now Hit dripper

[stiff orbit]

What is it about this time?

[sleek tundra]

Truly one of the Internet moments of all time

[sleek tundra]

Bro doesn't know 💀

[stiff orbit]

Ah, ok

[sleek tundra]

The lack of*

[stiff orbit]

Yeah, I’ve noticed that. Never really thought much of it though

[sleek tundra]

Bro's less than 15 years old

[winged dust]

Something maybe to ask in the russian channel or ask-gsc.

[sleek tundra]

I'm pretty sure that's not true, especially since we're talking about an 18+ game with anti communist messages

[winged dust]

That bein said, yeah, such a mystery why they're not dropping everything to translate announcements for the tourists.

[sleek tundra]

I really wouldn't

[stiff orbit]

Anti communist is for every age

[sleek tundra]

Honestly this is good for me, it means I can win any argument by pointing out someone's age

[fallow frigate]

Considering the popularity of anomaly, I doubt half of new fellas know the main story line lol

[sleek tundra]

I HATE ANOMALY, I HATE ANOMALY

[fallow frigate]

You know what I hate more than anomaly ? Thoose useless announcement ping, god I hate them

[stiff orbit]

Fair

[sleek tundra]

Right click, notification settings, nothing

[fallow frigate]

Yeah but what if they talk about the game for once

[winged dust]

Notification settings, how do they work
/sarcasm

[hardy bear]

there aught to be a games announcement channel. One for the general posts they make and one that is specifically for news about the game

[sleek tundra]

You'll see everyone here parroting them for the next 3 weeks, so don't worry about it

[fallow frigate]

Right, but I wouldn't be able to complain about them after

[sleek tundra]

Actual chad

[gilded sentinel]

Stalker update

That’s remaster for soc 4 u

So the same but worse and for money ?

No thanks

[swift slate]

🕯️

[gilded sentinel]

Mods will always better than what studios do

It’s either a different game or sh1t like republic commando

[sleek tundra]

NLC 7

[delicate vector]

why ukrainans so annoying

[gilded sentinel]

It’s also a different game

[gilded sentinel]

All ppl are annoying you just don’t see it

[sleek tundra]

No crap,they're working on an existing foundation while the studios have to recreate everything from scratch

[sleek tundra]

This but replace Ukrainians with Westerners

[gilded sentinel]

And also because modders know what people want

[delicate vector]

yeah no both are

[gilded sentinel]

Ppl suck honestly

[sleek tundra]

NLC 7 is better than all the stalker games combined

[gilded sentinel]

Kid named honestly

[sleek tundra]

It's the mother of all mods, the most unknown masterpiece

[gilded sentinel]

Debatable , but it is my favourite mod out there

Syak knows how to make stalkers happy

[sleek tundra]

It isn't if you're being objective and unbiased

The stalker mechanics are refined, the shooting is improved without overcomplications, the economy is actually balanced and you can't break it before reaching bar

[gilded sentinel]

lol no

[sleek tundra]

The only thing the original games do better is being accessible and mainstreamed

[sleek tundra]

Proof or never happened

[gilded sentinel]

Economy isn’t balanced at all

[sleek tundra]

Explain

Maybe you've only played for 2-3 hours

[gilded sentinel]

There’s no way you can sell guns to be in profit

[gilded sentinel]

Boy , it’s my second playthrough

3.8.1 trying the new one

[sleek tundra]

Because you aren't supposed to sell guns in the first place

The economy resolves around artifacts, you hunt them to get better gear

[gilded sentinel]

Well I’ve got a g36 and don’t need it , you’d expect to be at least 1 merchant who buys it for more than 10k rubles

[ruby quarry]

RIP the heroes at Chornobyl

My bad
Bad habbit

I forgot you’re supposed to call it Chornobyl now

[gilded sentinel]

Oh my god who the hel cares

[open socket]

I to

[gilded sentinel]

I don’t

[ruby quarry]

I don’t really care

[gilded sentinel]

[ruby quarry]

If I don’t get ban for saying the Russian way I would still call it the Russian way

I would still call it Chornobyl to Ukrainians tho

[open socket]

[fallow frigate]

lmao

[gilded sentinel]

It’s about time we stop pretending cheornobyl isn’t Ohio

[ruby quarry]

But what if I do?

This place is extra pro-Ukrainians
Which is not a bad thing
But I’m afraid I will get banned if I say it the Russian way

[gilded sentinel]

You won’t get banned , you’ll go to Valhalla

[ruby quarry]

Same thing

Also a few people here used to suspect that I’m a leaker

[gilded sentinel]

Are you a leaker ?

[ruby quarry]

No?
What skill do I have to be a leaker?

[sleek tundra]

Guns aren't valuable, anyone can get them from a corpse, but artifacts are rare

[gilded sentinel]

Are you big and red ?

[ruby quarry]

What’s that?

[gilded sentinel]

A 100% g36 isn’t valuable ?

[ruby quarry]

One of the best guns

[gilded sentinel]

That’s leaker

From resident evil

[ruby quarry]

No I’m not big and red then

[gilded sentinel]

Well damn , I guess you’re not a leaker

[ruby quarry]

Crazy facts

Some guy here backed me up saying it was just a coincidence

[fallow frigate]

Take your meds

[small solstice]

excuse me, for nlc 7, the menu is in russian

[gilded sentinel]

@hazy helm

[hazy helm]

did you install Keatsy's repack?

[small solstice]

no, on moddb there are only 3.0, and add ons for 3.7 e 3.8

[hazy helm]

yhea you installed the russian versions

[small solstice]

ah

[hazy helm]

go to the C-Con server and download Keatsy's repack

[small solstice]

where is this repack, into the server

where can i download 3.8? is the last?

[sage vector]

Will the game ever come out? I've been waiting 3 years since I pre-ordered it

[hazy helm]

[peak abyss]

Man, we are waiting since 2009, lol

[gilded sentinel]

Outrageous

[sleek tundra]

No lol

Cancel your 400 dollar preorder

[rustic mist]

Lol there’s a war just be patient

[vernal magnet]

Of course. Great games that are polished take time

hello, ive downloaded the repack, english

i start the game but the menu is in russian

[sleek tundra]

What repack?

[small solstice]

for nlc english

[sleek tundra]

It's a Russian mod, what did you expect?

[sleek tundra]

HOLY CRAP NO NO NO NO

[small solstice]

the repack says english

[sleek tundra]

GETOUTOFMYHEADGETOUTOFMYHEAD

[small solstice]

english translation repack

[sleek tundra]

You need to manually put the English translation in the game's directory

@hazy helm You told everyone about NLC while I was away?

[hazy helm]

[sleek tundra]

❤️

[small solstice]

i have only a big folder

with all the game, without a folder "english translation"

[hazy helm]

open the NLC folder and open launch.bat

[small solstice]

and the menu is in russian

[hazy helm]

then click the first button

[small solstice]

is new game?

[hazy helm]

yhea its basically a new game

[small solstice]

yes but i want to change options

or i must travel tu moscow to learn english?

[hazy helm]

this is jus the launcher,clicking the first button will launch the game that is translated

[small solstice]

ah ok, when the game start, appear a pin number

and another number to put.....

pin 0000

[hazy helm]

they dont matter

[small solstice]

ah ok is a code to enter in kgb, don't matter

then i can choose, for new game, lightned, and author's

which choose?

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[small solstice]

then i can choose, for new game, lightned, and author's

[small solstice]

which means?

[dry imp]

are you talking to yourself

[dry imp]

man i LOVE Ranjid

[stable sand]

where are the sound files (NPC voice lines and such) located in all of the three games? i've been thinking about writing my master's thesis about the use of russian language in stalker (or something similar like that, not 100% sure yet) and while i could just play the games and record the voices myself, it would take quite some time

[rugged scaffold]

i believe there are some already recorded on the zone survival guide website

[dry imp]

@fluid abyss thats what im sayin

they should do an @desert glenle for the announcements if its not S2 related

who the hell did i just ping

[shell elk]

aaaAAAAAA

👈

[stable sand]

i'll check it out and see if there's any useful stuff for me, thanks for the tip

[vernal magnet]

hey bro, you need the database extractor tool

I use it myself when ripping raw audio files out of the game. You set the destination to the root folder of your SOC, CS, or COP installation. DM me and ill send you the link to the tool on ModDB

[sleek creek]

I need help for my stalker

my steam told me that I don’t owned stalker but I already buy it what can I do?

[stiff orbit]

Ah, ok

[hazy helm]

you are directed to a guy in the garbage hangars,then you are directed to a guy in Agropom that tells you Streloks cache is in the underground
the military docs mission starts after you talk to sidor,he tells you to go to the other side and find fox,then it is follow the agroprom pipeline,but its open to get the files

you cant

you need to progress to the north with barkeeps help

just say,barkeep tasks the marked one to get the military docs in agroprom,on the way the marked one helps a string of ppl that tells him the location of streloks stash and a easier entrypoint to the base,which he uses to steal the documents and deliver them to barkeep as well as hitting the cache on the way and obtaining streloks flash drive

[pearl jacinth]

evil marked one be like
don't kill strelok

i know where this pda is from

[hazy helm]

you really cant compress SoCs story into a 3 minute presentation

[pearl jacinth]

evil bandits be like we don't want your money please go away

[pearl jacinth]

anything is possible if you have enough adderall

the evil version of that one guy at the duty base in soc be like

please stay here stalker

do not get out of here stalker

[hazy helm]

||you realize youre strelok after turning off the Radar facility,guide sends you a message to met him and he tells you Doc is waiting for you at streloks cache,doctor tells you everything,youre strelok and that the wish granter is a lie,and tasks you to retrieve Ghosts device||

Avanlache review's suck

did you not play the game?

[pearl jacinth]

lol at stupidly insane giga mega ak

it's just silly :3

[hazy helm]

like I said,its impossible to compress this much information withing 3 minutes

youd need to be playing the game and watch the stuff unfold

[pearl jacinth]

ok we're watching

[pearl jacinth]

(dead silence)

[hazy helm]

biglob will look like the crazy uncle spouting insanities while hes presenting

or the average W40K lore master

[pearl jacinth]

the man on the side of the street
you accidentally make a split second of eye contact and he's just like

"yo kid... wanna hear the stalker lore..."

you can't even respond before he starts GOING

unskippable cutscene irl

fov decrease, camera control being taken away and everything

not even a minute in and the game crashes for some god forsaken reason

gotta reload ur save and get locked into the cutscene again

evil fallout be like

risein

[hazy helm]

yhea,that retrospective sucks,said this before tho

[hazy helm]

I remember him making a lot of mistakes and just misunderstanding stuff throught the video
Id need to rewatch it,which I aint gonna do

I really dont need to

I wont

just go read the stalker wiki

https://tenor.com/view/risitas-el-risitas-juan-joya-borja-issou-jesus-gif-12145166

I remember most stuff

[pearl jacinth]

i keep misreading that as "batman"

itd be terrifying

ur just some random dude n theres this guy with a billion trillion dollars either next to you or fighting you

they gravitate towards him like hes a magnet

imagine hes at the other side of the game world and as you get closer to him there gradually becomes more and more bandits

LOL

was about to say yeah theres just a really long line outside

the bandits waiting in like arent even hostile theyre just like "wait ur turn" lol

imagine the day that one guy is successful

its just a really big gameshow

when its ones turn to rob batman and they get inside his house theres just a real big obstacle course

hes hosting it

thats probably a good idea

[finite dragon]

yo

how do i make my game in fullscreen now it says it is but its shows my other tabs

[solid dome]

Streaming?

[finite dragon]

i already found out

[eternal shadow]

Is it true what they say that the game may be released in June/July? Never let your dream die guys, and that's my dream.

[finite dragon]

shadow of chernobyl looks fun but i really dont know what to do i kinda came for shooting monsters and surviving at pripyat and chornobyl

[solid dome]

Those are speculations, in reality those who have brains, expect it to come out Q1/Q2 2024

[finite dragon]

that happens in soc wdym

[finite dragon]

im new so idk i just love pripyat and soviet

keep playing, you'll get there

ok

i just stopped my game crashed out of nowhere but id really didnt matter its late anyway

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6r0Hr9YJFPCLe3DNpYNW32?si=30df287b39b2484b my playlist for the game

[eternal shadow]

Possibly and maybe it will come out in December, it is not necessary "Those who have brains", I think they could arrive very well around that date, and if not, to wait more, but hope must not be lost.

[solid dome]

December is a placeholder

Always been

The best time frame to release game of this caliber and importance is during Autumn season

Q1 2024, January - April

[finite dragon]

To play devil's advocate, CP2077 came out before Christmas

It is possible I suppose

[solid dome]

CP was nothing but overhyped bowl of lies

And its still trash

[finite dragon]

eh it turned out pretty good, and im just saying opinion aside, they spent a shit ton of money on the game and released it before xmas i dunno

elden ring was later too in the year wasn't it

[solid dome]

Even after so much patches, it's simply big sad

[finite dragon]

eh i like it myself and it's received pretty well now and is pretty active for its age and being single player. but just saying as much as I doubt it December isn't crazy in terms of releasing something

[sleek tundra]

CP was, and still is, a good game

[nimble cipher]

Lord Trashcan#9358 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[sleek tundra]

Most people who spread absolute bullcrap like ""lies"" and ""bugs"" haven't played the game or don't know what they're talking about

The only evidence that I have to show you is everyone suddenly loving the game after the Anime came out, even though it barely changed since day 1

[kindred gull]

I don’t understand how a pre-order collector edition can be out of stock, please someone smart can clarify

[hazy helm]

there are no more slots for you to purchase

simple as

[kindred gull]

If it’s pre oder wouldn’t be better to take the number of orders and just do stock enough for every?

[hazy helm]

do you really think they have enuff resources and supply to send every single person that asks for one their copy?

they have as many slots as they can assure that they can deliver

[kindred gull]

I imagine it’s not going to be manufactured so if people pay for the preorder already whats the matter to add some more to be created ?

[hazy helm]

you need to secure deals with companies that sell and send the product + secure deals with companies that make the product + get deals for the materials to make that said products
you need to spend a lot of cash and have everything set up

you cant just take as many orders as you want and then be smoked when you cant deliver as many as ppl ordered

[kindred gull]

Well okay, I really don’t know how this stuff works so I will just agree. I need to say that i’m really sad about it

[hazy helm]

nothing more to do other than wait for a restock or get the digital version

[kindred gull]

So there might be restock in the future? I’ve never preorder nothing before so I don’t know anything

Restocking normally happens with other franchises?

[sleek tundra]

Keep in mind that Stalker is, well, was a lot less popular than other franchises

You aren't really losing out on much, just don't preorder or wait for a restock

[solid dome]

Dont preorder

@sleek tundra speaks the truth

Truth shall prevail

Fake marketing should sink into the ground

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[finite barn]

Any ideas when community will receive any updates about game progress ? . I must be going crazy cause I'm looking for any updates about stalker every single day, I guess it's kind of an inconvenience

[solid dome]

Today, Tomorrow or never sadly

Since we have to deal with ancient marketing methods, it's hard to predict when tbh

[finite barn]

I thought so, we must wait until the carrier pigeon arrives with the news

[solid dome]

If only nobody preordered, we'd have had news by now

Though people prefer to preorder so no news for everyone now

Damn, man

[finite barn]

Fortunately or not I did on the first day as soon as preorders were opened

I wish the day would come when the preorder'd come simply, without any info, it'd be a nice surprise

[solid dome]

What do I mean by this?

It's simply like that, if nobody preordered, GSC would have had reason to put something substantial out to make people preorder, because "Hey, something's wrong, let's think about it".

Right now GSC consider everyone preordering instantly to be granted because of franchise's popularity
You catch my drift, rite?

[finite barn]

You're completely right, I got it

[gilded sentinel]

Big brain

Me not understand

[solid dome]

Big brain, mate. I have grown brains considerably in the last few hours.

It's like I progressed from Level 1 to Level 101, Diablo 2 style

[finite barn]

https://tenor.com/view/all-knowing-brain-red-blue-brain-velea-brain-maria-brain-pine-velea-gif-25748277

[gilded sentinel]

That’s called buying a new account

And that’s illegal

[solid dome]

For me,

1. Preordering rings "I could care less, I'll think in the end"
   versus
2. Not preordering going "I'm concerned, man, earn me, win me, dude"

Boomer logic?
Perhaps...

[finite barn]

Just my opinion, the gsc approach makes some snnse, but isn't increasing sales bases on showing and advertising the product by showinkg significant changes, WIP and stuff related to in-game features. More info > greater reach > more sales, am I right ?

[solid dome]

It's decreasing everything by a long shot

It's a real dangerous mirror

On one side, everything looks promising but behind that mirror, it's a real crater

One step and everything falls down

Much like the domino effect.

[finite barn]

I'm pretty sure most of the huge fans of trilogy will wait for final product, but potential newcomers will come when stalker 2 is ready - or not

[solid dome]

No matter what, GSC ran out of their lucky cards long ago

...alas never learned any lessons

[finite barn]

Yeee, PR guy should probably read a few guides because right now he's not good enough at PR care

Should grab the whip and shake up those responsible for showing the work on stalker a bit if we stick to ancient methods

[finite dragon]

Hellow

[solid dome]

It's not one specific person to blame

[gilded sentinel]

I’m not even sure if they have PR management

[solid dome]

First, it's the higher ups. Then it's the Marketing department.

Developers aren't to blame. The CEOs have the most blame.

[solid dome]

Yeah indications don't point they have one lol

All this we see now is cause of the popularity of the franchise

[finite barn]

Of course, I was thinking about the one who's the PR boss

[solid dome]

The PR boss seems to be the co-founder

[finite barn]

Even if I try to blame someone that's not the case - the case is that they're bad in PR and marketing and whoever stays behind this should learn a bit about

[solid dome]

Worst thing?

One who's to blame is the one who wouldn't admit of having made a mistake

Such people don't change

[finite barn]

Beautifully said, on point

We can only hope they notice the problem soon

[solid dome]

If you have the balls, you'd come out and say "Okay, see folks, I tried to do things differently, but I realised it won't work. I done bad, blame it on me"

[finite dragon]

@solid dome can you help me

i found an ak 74 of a enemy i have it in my inventory but i cant use it

[solid dome]

Yes, sir, what troubles you?

[solid dome]

Its critically damaged?

[finite dragon]

oh i found out bruh

i pressed i and then put it in place of my double barrel

[solid dome]

You didn't equip it, son

Equip the bastard and rain fire on them enemies

[finite barn]

It's hard to blame someone if this person at least tries to do something, no matter with what effect - if he/she tries - that's half the battle. But if someone does nothing at all or blames everyone for failure without thinking that maybe the problem is him/herself then that's not okay 🙂

[solid dome]

Whatever the case

Things are done ruthlessly wrong and things will backfire real bad

in a moment you can't revert anything

It's think now or suffer later case

[finite barn]

To ruin something you need 30 seconds, to revert you need in some cases whole life and sometimes that's not enough time

[solid dome]

Words of wisdom

[finite barn]

That's reality, unfortunately

[solid dome]

As long as the trilogy isn't put off any stores...

I could care less

At least me and you know what's wrong, means we can think outside of the box

Whoever doesn't will see the effect of the domino himself

[finite dragon]

also

how do i install mods if i want

[solid dome]

Mods..

If one, you unpack the gamedata folder in root dir
If multiple, use Mod Manager

[finite dragon]

yes i heard you can but idk how

[solid dome]

Multiple mods you need JonesSoft Generic Mod Enabler

[finite barn]

We'll see in a month, maybe something will move for children's day :D. It's been nice talking, but it's time to get back to work, have a good day !

[solid dome]

🫡

[finite dragon]

@solid dome

can i go to pripyat without doing missions

and how do i submit a song to your list?

[solid dome]

You want me to add you to the project or you want me to add it for you?

[solid dome]

In mods, I think you can

CoC or Anomaly, you can spawn in Pripyat. Vanilla - with glitching you can. Normally not.

[finite dragon]

i just wanna add songs

i know many songs suitable for stalker

[solid dome]

Aye then

[finite dragon]

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6r0Hr9YJFPCLe3DNpYNW32?si=0e0e16bf94034c37 here my playlist with songs

gallowdance is a really good one

this game is actually better then most new games

[solid dome]

Oh I see Molchat Doma and Lyube

Cool

[finite dragon]

yes

and kino! KINO THE BEST AH

[solid dome]

👆

[vernal magnet]

lets be real. we all are preording stalker 2. doesnt even matter what the end product looks like, im gonna want it either way

[vernal magnet]

i just saw molchat doma in NYC and it was epic. very cheeki breeki indeed

[grave portal]

Lyube are sponsors of terrorism and supporters of aggression

[vernal magnet]

to be fair 1.0005 is actually the best vanilla version for single player and is setup easiest with the DVD lol

[finite dragon]

nice i wish they came to the netherlands but guess they dont know europe anymore 💀

[solid dome]

1.0006 was MP focused anyway

[solid dome]

Rule 8 my duder

[grave portal]

My duder, no politics, only true

[solid dome]

Son, we don't comment politics in here, so don't push it - Father Krezzin won't catch the bait 😄

[grave portal]

I'm the father here, son, if you're afraid to agree with the truth

[solid dome]

This guy has the balls!

[cyan canopy]

Where?

[thin pawn]

lyube > kino NEG diff

[vernal magnet]

how hype would it be for Firelake to do another song for stalker 2

[grave portal]

no chance for a long time, I think

[vernal magnet]

a man can dream lol

I'll be super happy hearing dirge for the planet again

[grave portal]

As we all are, as we all are...

[dry imp]

[vernal magnet]

[gilded sentinel]

NDA too busy toothing my brushes

[finite dragon]

what is a lyube

[gilded sentinel]

A dope music group

[wide pawn]

I cancelled my Steam pre order today...

...only to pre-order the physical collectors edition!😝

[west harbor]

isnt the physical edition the same price as the steam version?

oh yeah, makes sense

[wide pawn]

It's not comparable, check it out

in the pre order channel

[tame canyon]

is it even possible to limit fps on these stalker games?
i searched online and some say use nvidia inspector but that app also removed its fps limit option. i dont want to limit my overall fps with nvidia control panel so wtf do i do?

[vernal magnet]

had us in the first half not gonna lie

[vernal magnet]

You either have the option of capping FPS from the menu with the 60hz option or you have to cap from the nvidia control panel. Also, you should be able to assign the FPS limit to just stalker executables and not your global settings.

[vernal magnet]

go to nvidia control panel. then go to manage 3D settings, then select program settings instead of global

[tame canyon]

neither vsynch nor 60hz option does anything for me. if i can specificly target a game and only cap its fps then its ok

[vernal magnet]

when you say it does nothing for you do you mean its not actually capping? what are you checking your FPS with?

[solid dome]

Hahahahah

[vernal magnet]

and yea you can specify a target game under nvidia control panel just find the xr_3d.exe or whatever under program options

[tame canyon]

with nvidia geforce thingy. at top right it is not capping at 144hz or 60. its 6000+ on menus and 500+ ingame

[vernal magnet]

do not use nvidia geforce experience. that is not the same thing as the nvidia control panel

[solid dome]

Huh, Kuro bought 3070?

[vernal magnet]

uninstall geforce experience its bloatware honestly

[solid dome]

Wish I could get myself any of those RTX cards. I don't want to ruin my life though.

[vernal magnet]

Ti, he bought the spicy model

[tame canyon]

who said they are the same thing. one is a control panel other is how you view your "experience" and save replays etc

[vernal magnet]

well I told you to use the control panel and you brought up the geforce experience. which is not going to do what you want it to do

[solid dome]

So 1 kidney, 1 litre of blood, 2 fingers, couple braincells?

If only economics weren't in such bad shape in here...

[solid dome]

If you ever need people to do dirty work for you, dude, holler me

I know you'd pay well, you tell - we dwell

[tame canyon]

you asked me how do i view my fps

[vernal magnet]

ok i understand now

i would recommend using MSI afterburner for checking your FPS and other details. GeforceExperience introduces issues with some games and systems. But like i mentioned before set your FPS limit settings in the control panel

cause using the experience option in "the top right" isnt going to cut it

[tame canyon]

oaky ill try control panel thnx

one last thing; is there a way to "hold" for sprint rather than toggle which is default?
