[worn oar]

100 rads bar?

[serene urchin]

And an army base I was doing quests for

[gaunt burrow]

Ohhh he means 100 Rads Bar residents I guess

[solid cosmos]

Did you kill a dutier or kill someone in the rostok area?

[worn oar]

If so then you mostly shot NPCs before going into the level or within that level

[serene urchin]

No

[worn oar]

Check your pda map and give me the level names at least

[solid cosmos]

You sure? I killed a military dude who was walking through Rostok and everyone went hostile.

[serene urchin]

Hol on lemme boot up me game

[solid cosmos]

He probably means Army Warehouse, so he probably shot a freedomer or something for Duty, then turned around and pissed duty off.

[serene urchin]

I shot some dutiers for a quest for freedom

[solid cosmos]

Which would explain why Duty is pissed off. Unless it was Skull's group

[serene urchin]

Freedomers shoot at me now

[worn oar]

Also go to your pda statistics and check stalkers killed. Click on the number shown and specifics will show in the right side of the pda screen

[serene urchin]

What name

[gaunt burrow]

Is Duty faction fully hostile towards you now?

Killing members of Freedom and Duty makes your relation with them worse

[serene urchin]

Where can I see

[worn oar]

Possibly took skull mission! Alright man, did you take a mission to kill freedom snipers around the army base? From the duty group that you witness ambushing the 3 freedomers waving at you at the level entrance?

[gaunt burrow]

When you go to 100 Rads Bar, are Duty NPCs names red? Or yellow?

Red means hostile

[serene urchin]

Duh

[worn oar]

Press P and go to statistics

[serene urchin]

Im on ps5

[worn oar]

It shows mutants and NPCs killed

[serene urchin]

So

[worn oar]

Ahh okay open your pda map and change the tabs

Or simply check the controls settings and see the statistics bind

[serene urchin]

3 experienced duty

Pretty sure they where traitor quests tho

[worn oar]

Then it's settled

Your goodwill has been reset to hostile with duty NPCs

[serene urchin]

Hol on

Lemme walk to Bar

[worn oar]

But that's not a problem, just keep advancing through the game and fight your way through every hostile NPC

You have your main mission active, just follow it.

Leave other options for a second playthrough cuz man, the game has multiple endings and plenty of stuff to explore around the zone.

[gaunt burrow]

If dude is hostile with Rostok residents then its actually a problem lol

[worn oar]

Just finish the game and comeback later for a second go. Try to calculate your moves and explore the $hit out of the game.

[worn oar]

Not really? For a first playthrough, it's not that impactful since the player does not really have the knowledge we do lol

[serene urchin]

Yeah duty shoots at me

[gaunt burrow]

Explains everything

[serene urchin]

Imma load up an old save

[worn oar]

There is no need to go back to the other levels unless he's going to seek other options let's say (without spoiling anything.)

[worn oar]

Yeah, preferably before killing any neutral

[serene urchin]

Duh

[worn oar]

Taking freedom side on hitman jobs means bye bye duty territories

[gaunt burrow]

Avoid killing Dutyers and Freedomers basically. If you don't want to ruin your relation with these factions

[worn oar]

it's okay dude, we are feeding you information you both know and don't know. So take it easy on us 😦

[solid cosmos]

Worst comes to worst can't you talk to the barman and reset your faction rank with them

[gaunt burrow]

If you care about your reputation then avoid assasination quests in general

[solid cosmos]

well faction reputation. I can't remember if that's a mod feature or was in vanilla.. I don't usually encounter the problem

[open hawk]

Noted

How do you become frens with bandits tho

[worn oar]

If you was playing on PC, I could've edited one of your tasks and forced it to give you a huge boost of goodwill towards duty so they can turn back neutral again

[loud gate]

Exactly. If you care about reputation, please go out and do as many assassination quests as possible

[solid cosmos]

You don't. Bandits get double tapped in the back of the head.

[sly matrix]

you can compensate for assasination missions, but I would suggest sticking to the names character ones

[open hawk]

Like you can’t at all?

[gaunt burrow]

In SoC you can't

[open hawk]

What about CS or COP

[solid cosmos]

In shadow of chernobyl? You can't. In clearsky and pripyat Iyou can

[open hawk]

ok thanks

[sly matrix]

can't you in SoC by joining freedom?

[gaunt burrow]

In Clear Sky you can even join bandits and in CoP bandits are neutral towards Degtyarev

[loud gate]

You can't join Freedom?

[gaunt burrow]

Except squad of bandits near Jupiter factory. Those will always be hostile no matter what

[open hawk]

Might do a bandit play through

[sly matrix]

then I've heard wrong

[open hawk]

What’s Jupiter factory

[worn oar]

Reputation in vanilla is static in a way! You can only work on it by accomplishing missions, aiding fallen stalkers, or helping in a faction fight.

[loud gate]

You can't directly join Freedom, but you can help them and Duty will become hostile to you. And vice versa ofc

[gaunt burrow]

I meant Jupiter Plant sry

[open hawk]

What’s that

[serene urchin]

Should I kill Murk for his G36

[open hawk]

Might be the move 👀

[serene urchin]

If I do freedom will shoot on sight

[solid cosmos]

Bait a bloodsucker over to him

[gaunt burrow]

Its basically a massive factory complex located in the area around Jupiter location

[worn oar]

Yeah

[sly matrix]

just go to the barrier and wait for a freedom to die

[loud gate]

Yes

[open hawk]

Oh I’ve never been there

[loud gate]

Or kill them yourself

[sly matrix]

or use one of the explosive barrels laying around there

[gaunt burrow]

I believe you can but not without exploits

[loud gate]

You can if I remember right with exploits, but technically you shouldn't be able at all.

[worn oar]

Duty spirit in you brotherman

[gaunt burrow]

https://youtu.be/ac33atjGLBk?si=RWAAGVUQ4WIzMQxf

[serene urchin]

Just shoot at the barrel

[loud gate]

You both suck, believe in the almighty crystal

[worn oar]

It is not worth it

If you want to kill someone in the freedom base, pick the gate fellas don't ask me why but it's better that way.

[loud gate]

Or just kill them all

[worn oar]

Brotherman became a fanatic after a few pings from Mol1t

[loud gate]

Always have been

[gaunt burrow]

Doing quests for both Voronin and Lukash is profitable af

[worn oar]

Or that sure thing lol! As long as he stays off duty fellas I'm good haha

[gaunt burrow]

Excluding killing Dutyers and Freedomers sidequests

[worn oar]

You blind?

[loud gate]

I am blind, but it is you who cannot see

[worn oar]

Except for the assassination tasks

[gaunt burrow]

Homolith

[loud gate]

Lukash sucks however, so just go for Voronin

[worn oar]

Oh I'm damn sure I can see better than a blind man

[worn oar]

Monofeet

[loud gate]

Remember that everyone from Noon is a traitor

[serene urchin]

I forgor to grab the grenade launcher

[gaunt burrow]

I disagree tbh. His beliefs might be strange but he's Chad in his own. He wants to relatiate for his wounded member in "destroy the neutral stalke" for example

Retaliate*

[worn oar]

They grew sight back in my opinion

[gaunt burrow]

While Voronin wants Marked One to get rid of Agroprom stalkers cuz

"Their presence isn't good for the allies"

[sly matrix]

ugly, yeah

easy enough to let them die by the bloodsuckers running around though

[gaunt burrow]

Not even mentioning stalkers back in 2011 under Orests leadership literally helped Duty

[worn oar]

Go to the merc outpost past the bloodsuckers village and kill all of them. You can find some present in the bus stop

[loud gate]

Nerd

[gaunt burrow]

[loud gate]

Matt is the best lore guy I've ever met when it comes to factions ngl

[gaunt burrow]

[worn oar]

Lukash is a good leader, I'm pretty sure he's more active than the sleepy Voronin

[loud gate]

How did I manage that

[worn oar]

Stop flirting with man

[gaunt burrow]

Lukashs sidequests tell me few things

[worn oar]

Most do

[gaunt burrow]

Like him not liking his members getting bribed for example

"Listen, here's the deal. The Merc camp needs to be destroyed. We could leave them be, they're good shots... except they've been really asking for it, sneaking into our territory, trying to bribe my people. It's time to teach them a lesson. Can you do it?" - Description of Destroy the Merc camp

[worn oar]

Out of all freedumbs, I kinda like loki

[loud gate]

Can't help it..

DAMN IT, If only someone could help me...

[worn oar]

Lukash is a good leader, but still ... idk it's a weird feeling lol

[gaunt burrow]

Generally judging by his sidequests description Lukash does seem like a type of guy who could do everything for his faction tbh

Could be one of the main reasons why he was chosen as Freedoms leader

[worn oar]

I'll find your lost shooter, if you know what I mean

[loud gate]

Valerian>>

[worn oar]

Yes, he's more Militarish than Voronin the chicken

[loud gate]

I actually really loved Valerian, from him speaking you could tell that maybe one day we'll reach the center...

[worn oar]

I approve that

[gaunt burrow]

Valerian is most likely killed by the Military I think. Since neutral base in SoC is completely ruined

[worn oar]

He's dead yeah.. poor stalker

[loud gate]

Yeah

[gaunt burrow]

Great character. I can agree

[worn oar]

The only one that we can never know for sure how he ended up is wolf

[gaunt burrow]

According to his own words he was in the Zone back in 200

2000* before the second disaster

[loud gate]

Why else did you think I put him in the trailer?

[gaunt burrow]

Him having Expert rank instead of Veteran would make more sense imho

[worn oar]

I found him alive multiple times so, campfire fuel fate is not fixed

[gaunt burrow]

Fair

[gaunt burrow]

I still think its very weird

Even Yoga, bandits leader had expert rank and not Valerian

[worn oar]

Cause you like dudes with mustaches

[gaunt burrow]

Who was in the Zone back in 2000

[loud gate]

[gaunt burrow]

Lmfao

[loud gate]

Guys, I'm off to bed.

[gaunt burrow]

Gn bro

[worn oar]

Sergiy was freedom lover

[loud gate]

Ending today with my beautiful schizo theory that Valerian is Bis, I'm gonna wake up after the aftermath

[worn oar]

gn man! Haha way too much copium in your system I suppose

[gaunt burrow]

I like to think that hes still alive and well

[loud gate]

I just know it man, I saw it in a dream.

[loud gate]

Why wouldn't he?

[gaunt burrow]

campfire

[worn oar]

GSC is still using him as a bot in this discord, so I bet he's damn well and alive lol

[quiet summit]

I think Bis got killed in my game lol

[gaunt burrow]

Good point

[quiet summit]

Idk where he went I helped him fight the bandits and then more bandits kept coming forever

[gaunt burrow]

Not exactly uncommon tbh

[loud gate]

For sure

[worn oar]

Well we see him in ST2? Maybe ?

[loud gate]

Definitely

[gaunt burrow]

Hope so

[loud gate]

He's one of those Nimble type characters, he can't just not be there

[quiet summit]

It seems like whenever I get into a fight with bandits in the garbage it attracts every bandit in the entire zone to come and see whats up

They never stop coming

[worn oar]

MOZI is pretty much sleep talking now haha

[loud gate]

I am

[gaunt burrow]

Fanatic is also goated

But he's kinda forgotten sadly. I don't see people talking about him at all

[loud gate]

Because many people don't even know of his existence

[gaunt burrow]

[worn oar]

Yeah! The team chose him to be in this discord not nimble. That says much doesn't it?

[loud gate]

Vasim on that copium harder than me

[worn oar]

Only the ones who explored the zone know of him. I'm sure most of the ppl here only saw him in anomaly lol or gamma? Or efp sheesh

[worn oar]

Shush, he might hear you

[gaunt burrow]

Oh man

Knowing a character from mods but not from vanilla game. Sounds wacky

[loud gate]

It is wacky

[worn oar]

It is!

[loud gate]

VASEEEM, DO YOU HEAR ME?? I like efp!!!!

[worn oar]

The most rational way to play mods is to play the original game first or at least play mods that does not change the dynamics of the game.

[loud gate]

💯

[worn oar]

Vasim 2.0 here and he felt triggered lol

[loud gate]

I feel triggered too

[worn oar]

[worn oar]

As you should

All vets would feel triggered or at least should

[warped copper]

The best way to play is by throwing bolts at everyone, change my mind

[serene urchin]

What is it

[worn oar]

Mozi, just say you love gunslinger and vasim will mute you for 100 years lol

[quiet summit]

Im playing them for the first time right now, im like 10% through shadow of chornobyl

[worn oar]

You want spoiler? Sure || I'd say a gun you wouldn't like to miss || not gonna say more than that

[serene urchin]

Ok

[gaunt burrow]

Go to north-western part of the Army Warehouses. Merc outpost is there

In that outpost there's 1 solid gun

[quiet summit]

I feel like I should be picking one primary weapon to carry around instead of carrying the shotgun, smg, and rifle at the same time

[worn oar]

Enjoy the game as we all did. It is truly a masterpiece all things considered

[serene urchin]

To much weight

[tulip monolith]

Does the lost alpha mode change the storyline?

[quiet summit]

My carrying capacity is like 40/50

[gaunt burrow]

Just keep 1 more weapon as a backup

[worn oar]

You can take 2 actually and manage your inventory in a way you only take what is necessary

Or try to hunt for endurance boosting artifacts

[gaunt burrow]

Endurance artifacts

[tulip monolith]

The game looks slightly different after I installed the lost alpha

[gaunt burrow]

2-3 moonlights and you will never get tired (unless you exceed your inventory weight limit)

But if not you can run as long as you want lol

[quiet summit]

Ive got the two from the tunnel

[worn oar]

It would really help if you have 2 or 3 endurance artifacts + 2 others that either nullifies the negative effects of the latter or adds only positive stats like - rad or - wound

[tight kayak]

Yknow what I think stalker does better than fallout is that it’s not goofy yknow stalker streats itself seriously

[gaunt burrow]

I wouldn't compare them in the first place. 2 different games completely

[tight kayak]

Apocalypse setting

[worn oar]

You can find moonlight artifacts near Electra anomalies in the warehouses and in pripyat

[quiet summit]

The world is business as normal outside of the zone

[worn oar]

Try to look around the helicopter crash site

[gaunt burrow]

Still 2 different games. My point stands still

[worn oar]

In the army warehouses

[wet lark]

What do they do?

[gaunt burrow]

Besides its not like the whole world in stalker is apocalyptic

[worn oar]

Endurance

[tight kayak]

Ik but inside the zone it’s like the end of days

[gaunt burrow]

Only the Zone is

[wet lark]

Ah

[gaunt burrow]

Give you a lot of endurance

[tight kayak]

Personal preference

[worn oar]

2 or 3 of these and you will never need rest lol

[gaunt burrow]

^

Only if you exceed your inventory weight limit you will get tired

[quiet summit]

Fallout 1 was mostly serious in tone other than some optional dialogues and stuff like that

[wet lark]

Fallout used to treat itself seriously, idk what happened

[quiet summit]

Fallout 2 happened lol that game is 40% pop culture references

[worn oar]

The moonlight is basically the best you can find when it comes to endurance boosting. Let's say it's the best out of all other artifacts that gives endurance

Mother anomaly is Electra

[quiet summit]

And then it just got more jokey from there

[worn oar]

Anyway, enjoy your night stalkers. I'm off to bed, so nighty

[gaunt burrow]

Man Moonlight in SoC was OP and then got downgraded a lot in other parts

[wet lark]

And I take it they can only be found in really dangerous areas?

[tulip monolith]

Stalker and fallout 1 , 2 are both great and be compared both hardcore, fallout 3 and 4 however are both crap stalker beats them by a long way

[quiet summit]

Maybe I should up the difficulty from novice then 💀

[worn oar]

Army warehouses and pripyat

There is a small chance you come across one in early levels too

[gaunt burrow]

Wild Territory too

[tulip monolith]

I prefer the zone atmosphere more than the commonwealth AND D.C

[wet lark]

Ill try to look for them then

[quiet summit]

If only there were other fallout maps

[gaunt burrow]

At the Wild Territory 2 might spawn between midnight and 05:00 AM

[worn oar]

True. SoC artifacts were all good and useful compared to the 2 other games

[gaunt burrow]

Wait for midnight and go to the Wild Territory. That area spawns 2 Moonlights at certain times

[worn oar]

It's okay, you can go for stalker diff if you wish. The only thing that would change is your bullet resistance, damage, and loot amount.

[hazy helm]

and Fallout 1 is the best

[tulip monolith]

The map of the old two games are fairly large, there is a bit of everything I don't like big maps with nothing to do aside from clearing then

[quiet summit]

Why do you have the same profile picture as the other guy

[quiet summit]

New vegas and fallout 76?

[worn oar]

Wild territory chance is too slim. The most likely spawn will be sparkler or flash

[hazy helm]

why dont you have the same picture?

[tulip monolith]

I still remember Preston marking the towns on my pipboy lmao

[gaunt burrow]

They are the same person wdym?

1 person owns 2 accs

[quiet summit]

The map for 76 is actually pretty cool

[gaunt burrow]

[tulip monolith]

Yea it's cool

[worn oar]

[tulip monolith]

There are a variety of monsters too that goes with it's ecosystem

[worn oar]

Chat is shifting to off-topic isn't it? Time to fly off here ig. Gn brotherman.

[gaunt burrow]

Good night to you too bro

[serene urchin]

In a building

Or where

[gaunt burrow]

1 sec

[sand gorge]

Why do u think I'm lesbian

[sand gorge]

@finite dragon

says stalker 2 will be shit
says they know cuz reviews from YouTube
says fallout new vegas is better
hasn't beaten SoC
says I'm defending a 20 year old game
Stalker came out 2008
Fallout new vegas came out 2010
tries to insult fails
sister is fingered
tries to bring up stalker server In gmod to be taken seriously
This u tho
Type faster

[sand gorge]

Yk I beat SoC on Master without using Artifacts

[gaunt burrow]

Nice

[severe timber]

theres a door with a code on a bridge? in radar before you get to the main compound. does anyone know the code?

[sand gorge]

I don't but the Wiki does

[warped copper]

So ah, this is a good channel to ask a question about the zone trilogy release right?

[broken latch]

Yeah

[warped copper]

Any word on when mod support is being added in?

I wanna see misery 2 on console lol

And maybe make a hotkey mod for xbox

Def make a hotkey mod for xbox

[broken latch]

I think mod db will be available

Not sure my self

I think moderator Vasim knows more

[hazy helm]

Misery does engine edits
it will not happen

[warped copper]

Well shit

[hazy helm]

many such cases

I mena

you were spared

misery 2 is shit

[warped copper]

Lol i tried it once back in 2017

[pale pivot]

i think any sane person prefers anything other than bethesda fallout atmosphere

[warped copper]

Its just a pain in the ass to constantly switch to my inventory to use rad drugs

Not to mention ut cancels reload, and has a delay before letting you fire again

[hazy helm]

console problems

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/935989994735169546/1147108497243250728/togif-105.gif

[quiet summit]

I would much prefer leaning with the dpad over quick meds

[sand gorge]

You guys are complaining about the wrong stuff

I need an fov slider and deadzone stuff

The stick drift is unreal

[hazy helm]

stick drift aint the devs fault,its the distributor of the console that needs to provice software to alliviate the problem

[finite dragon]

forgot this is a channel lol

the cool kids hang out in the off topic zone 😎

anyway what's krakin guys

[sand gorge]

I love the devs I'm not blaming them

[white rampart]

I just bought all three of the games :)

[trail mural]

Huge W

Which one are you going to play first?

[untold karma]

hello!

i return

[hidden stratus]

Are those fellow Clear Sky members I see...?

This is the first time im seeing other Clear Sky members. Is this real?

[quiet summit]

Am i at the point where this turns into a horror game

Im in the agroprom underground

[hidden stratus]

Yes.

Have fun, but whatever you do, keep playing the game and do not turn around.

[sand gorge]

I'm one too

Clear Sky underrated

[hidden stratus]

There isnt many of us.

[sand gorge]

We got wiped out

[hidden stratus]

they are, they get sh*t done, unlike those duty kids playing military

[hidden stratus]

NO we didnt, there is still hope

Clear Sky will come back in S2 and the game will completely shift from Skif to the Clear Sky faction such as their daily activities or the many stories of the many things they do.

[untold karma]

Come Join Duty before Duty comes to you and makes you join

[wide aspen]

join uhh

[cloud crane]

Hi chat

[warped copper]

I mean what lol

[solid cosmos]

The true protagonist of stalker 2 is John S.T.A.L.K.E.R

[fiery tundra]

Also, I find it a little bit strange that you would have an issue with it being a mess of coding considering the entire original trilogy is literally a mess of coding lol I’m just saying. I know this is four days later but I remember you said this and I thought it was just a bit strange to say considering the franchise in question

[sand gorge]

Anomaly runs way worse than the og games

[fiery tundra]

from what I’ve seen on YT it runs fine

Or is it the kind of game that runs fine if you have the current top of the line hardware

[sand gorge]

2nd choice

[spring apex]

you need gaming chair for it to run

[finite dragon]

Hello. What's up?

I hope stalker 2, instead of making new maps, it instead unites all the maps from the og trilogy.

[solid cosmos]

probably will be a partial combo of both tbh

[finite dragon]

I hope it combines the first 3 games first before making new maps

[low token]

Anomaly Gamma is a pain to install but then no problem runing it

[low token]

Me too

[sly matrix]

I wonder if STALKER 2 is gonna feature maps that were cut from SoC

[low token]

For the Generators map it is doubtful as the lore changed

[sly matrix]

For which I'm thankful

[low token]

But the "trench" anomaly/monument that seems to be created by the generators was a cool idea

[sand fiber]

stalker does not treat itself seriously

your perception has been warped by countless cheap REALISTIC TACTICAL mods

[broken latch]

Fax

Stalker is just as wacky as fallout

[sand gorge]

ANOMALY BE LIKE:

[sand gorge]

Except Stalker is hard

[sand fiber]

also untrue

CS is, i guess

[sand fiber]

but that's more bad design than difficulty

[sand gorge]

If I used the Pmm in Stalker I would have a harder time then if I used the 10mm in Fallout 1

L+ratio+you're wrong

[sand fiber]

the WOKE MOB is triggered. curious.

[sand gorge]

OH NO THE WOKE MOB

I better watch a Disney movie where they destroy the real history by making everyone a gay black woman!

I need to download Anomly to please the woke mob before they tag me on Twitter

[sand fiber]

that's real history though

[dapper sluice]

PC versions are not impossible to finish - even without patches you can bypass many bugs or just install mods. It’s not an option on consoles, so if the game crashes in certain spot, you can’t do anything. Consoles are different environment from PC and there is nothing weird in releasing console specific patches and updates.

[worthy lagoon]

!warn @sand gorge Don't call others a retard

[nimble cipher]

scottlenartemis has been warned

Reason: Don't call others a retard

[sand gorge]

That better?

[worthy lagoon]

No

Don't be mean to others

[sand gorge]

Yea cuz its totally just me but okay

[covert slate]

i woke up to some fun huh

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[worthy lagoon]

Yes it's your fault, dude just asked if there would be specific patches for console and another dude responded explaining there will most likely be patches specified for console

[worthy lagoon]

You too

[sand gorge]

I wasnt talking to either of them

I was talking to the guy who threw out the idea because of pc supremacy

But I shouldn't have said anything rude and I am sorry

[rough grove]

I just made 150k rubles in stalker CoP from artifacts what should I spend them on (I'm just before the pripyat underground I already got a Seva and a decent rifle)

[broken latch]

You just probably haven't picked up on it yet

[rough grove]

I am Elon musk

[wet lark]

Ah yes, cleopatra was a black woman, much true

[gaunt burrow]

CoP is literally a money farming simulator. Same with SoC

[bold sphinx]

and its the best one out there!

[gaunt burrow]

DF hi bro

Long time no see. How's life?

[rough grove]

My friend who mostly plays gamma thought I was hacking till I showed him that I just spent 30 mins going to every single anomaly field in the zone

[gaunt burrow]

Get artifacts, sleep, repeat

Easy profit

[sly matrix]

Money isn't the limiting factor in CoP, toolsets are

[gaunt burrow]

Not necessarily

Never had any trouble with Clear Sky either

Game is as good as the player who plays it

[wet lark]

I heard it was pretty buggy, is that true?

[sand fiber]

broken bleeding and precision-perfect grenades ruin all the fun

[sand fiber]

faction wars and weapon upgrades basically don't work

[sand fiber]

which is a huge part of the game of course

[bold sphinx]

Going ok not good kinda bad but could be worse

[sand fiber]

^cope

[bold sphinx]

kinda it is what it is time

[gaunt burrow]

Faction wars might get buggy-ish. Theres also a gay bug where Drifter isn't offering the coordinates

[gaunt burrow]

I'm not the one who's calling Clear Sky hard

Seems like theres someone with a skill issue here

[sand fiber]

neither am i, i'm calling it broken

[spring apex]

if one joins bandit, then the game will absolutely get buggy but there is a walkthrough in youtube to get around

[gaunt burrow]

I never joined bandits. Ever

[bold sphinx]

same lol

[gaunt burrow]

Couldn't do it out of principle

[spring apex]

well i kinda redo the game to join other sides of factions

[bold sphinx]

its just not fun for me

[spring apex]

legit bandits are the hardest

[bold sphinx]

meh

how hard could it be

[spring apex]

loners respawn extremely quickly (like 10 seconds) while bandits spawn like a minute later

[gaunt burrow]

I heard its pretty hard. Other than loners you also gotta be against Duty guys

[sand fiber]

buggy-ish is an interesting way of saying

1. not being able to complete FW due to respawns
2. not being able to progress anything other than Loners VS Bandits due to friendly faction interference
3. AI bugging out and simply refusing to move to a location/point

[bold sphinx]

Oh yeah its been a long time since ive played stalker

dont have the time

[gaunt burrow]

Faction war is buggy. I never said otherwise. And its also optional

You can literally choose not to join any other faction except Clear Sky

[bold sphinx]

OR DUTY

[gaunt burrow]

i know duty might sounds deadly to fight agaisnt, but at that point you have like RG-6s and PKM to deal with them alone.

Last playthrough of CS vanilla I challenged myself to win the war for every faction, got me some sweet loot

[calm aurora]

Ok… you can also sometimes go to a moster hunter or killing someone with other stalkers or in couple… especilky in COP chapter

If you have a good soldier with a cool built against radiation or ammo you can go everywhere agsinst all ..

I think this Up monster is one of the most powerful in stalker cop

[gaunt burrow]

Up monster? You mean Chimera?

[calm aurora]

Spesking about COP … my favorite level is Yanov… amazing

[calm aurora]

No the one up in the sticker…

But very hard also the Giant with 4 arms…

WHY IN THE HELL WOULD ANYONE LEAVE A NOTE?
"NO MORE COPIUM, DITCH THE HOPIUM"!
AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
"YOU WANT STALKER 2, YOU SIT AND WAIT!"
SWEET CHRIST, I CAN'T WAIT NO MORE!

Speaking about other games wicht are you playing like Chernobylite or Metro ? What do you think about Atomic Heart game?

[spring apex]

idk my pc can't run all but older metro games

[calm aurora]

I played last year on ps4 at Chernobylite… very cool with great map and atmospere but with too many problems and bug I think…

[finite dragon]

I'm a big fan of Metro Universe.
At least, I still love you from the novel version and the Xbox 360 version of Metro 2033.
I love both Stalker Trilogy and Metro Universe.
I'm playing CS right now, so this official server is my oasis.
So, That's if they accept PS4 version players.

[gaunt burrow]

The very first thing I can think of about Atomic Heart is those 2 robot twins so many people are simping for

neither Scar nor anyone else expected more frequent emissions

I think it's time to choose a faction for the official server, but I can't choose because I like all the factions.
But, Monoliths are...
I don't know, I'm not sure, so I'm feeling another kind of fear, or awe.

[hazy helm]

Anomalies mess of a code works against its main pillar thjat it wasnt to be
you see,anomaly is a mess of stripping back and bloating,it used to be Last Day and now it stripped most of those back,along the way,someway somehow some reason,they added an old MLR version which invalidates any kind of deep modding with the use of usual SDKs,you need their specific SDKs (which they released but the code is so messy nobody cares,nor wants to care at this point,even with the SDKs its so messy its hard to even add anything)
at the end of the day,Anomaly will never be a good framework for modding bc its tech rejects this,when faced with the choice of tech for making your project,Anomaly will always be your last objective when faced with OpenXray and OGSR,hell even OLR

for examples of messy code in the original trilogy,this is the code for realistic sun position in Clear Sky
this is wrong
the sun sets on the wrong side

but in thje case of Anomaly,its messy code actively harms many forms of modding

[keen rune]

What if I told you that I'm having fun in Amoaly The end game quest is bugged so now Strelok won't give me the quest

Gammanomaly chats should be moved to the modification channel. Bam problem solved

Those are the ones I remember on top of my head

Then there's duty memeber's assault rifle

That's the 7 you got thusfar I guess. No clue what the other 2 are. Maybe you'll enounter them later in the story

[hallow lake]

i remember the AKS-U came from Swamp, but surprisingly that didn't count as unique i think

[sly matrix]

It should

how about forester's vintar?

Gamma/Anomaly players are mainstream players

We should differentiate the 2 playerbases

One are in for casual gaming, others for what STALKER really is, atmosphere, environment "narrative", etc

[sly matrix]

go on

[solid dome]

It's enough

Nothing else to be told

[sly matrix]

and the gamma/anomaly playersbase is the casual crowd?

[solid cosmos]

Tourists

[solid dome]

What do you think?

[sly matrix]

I have played neither so I wouldn't know

[solid cosmos]

Idk whatever. People can enjoy stalker how they want. I'm gonna enjoy it how I want to and that's the more grounded experiences I got out of the trilogy and not the over complicated mess that is anomaly or gamma. It's fine if you like them, please enjoy.

[broken latch]

We don't mind if people pick up on Anomaly, but it gets annoying having people come from those YouTubers that advertise anomaly as the best free milsim tarkov type of game

Like they aren't experiencing what stalker is actually

[icy prism]

Yisus Christ... I really need S2 news...

[solid cosmos]

100% agree. I have played anomaly and I have played gamma and I was trying desperately to tweak both to be more like the og trilogy before giving up and going back to call of Chernobyl or cotz.

Hey guys, wanted to download a Call of Chernobyl mod. Does anyone know what happened to the mod and why developers stopped giving it updates? It's a great mod and it's pity it's not getting any updates.

[mild basalt]

[solid cosmos]

Repacks are the way forward for Coc. There is CotZ and while the creator of that has sadly passed away [Rip DoctorX] it's still worth to check out. There are others who do modpacks or repacks of Coc to continue development forward more or less.

This would probably be better to ask on the c-consciousness discord.

You'll either get removed or people will check it out

[old jungle]

what's your channel?

[lethal orchid]

Do we know which faction Skif is in?

[solid cosmos]

Well he was monolith.

[loud gate]

He's a loner

[lethal orchid]

Genuinely?

[loud gate]

Umm, we don't know

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/arab-cat-gif-17552437121878202478

[solid cosmos]

Yes we do. It was in a trailer

[gaunt burrow]

I think he's loner. Although Loner isn't really a faction but thats another topic

[loud gate]

@old jungle I think these are the old requirements, no?

[amber citrus]

Raizel Lyfeld, I even have a Will To Live Videos there, a game @acoustic snow has made a video about, the Will To Live Online Experience

[loud gate]

No, we don't.

[lethal orchid]

He's theoretically an agent like Strelok

[loud gate]

Again, we don't know that either

[lethal orchid]

Right

He's referring to the death truck trailer right?

[old jungle]

Subbed

[lethal orchid]

Where the guy who escapes is potentially Skif?

[old jungle]

🤔 Let me check

[loud gate]

Is it really a death truck? Death Truck.. driven by Herman.. which isn't even full of well.. dead people.

[lethal orchid]

Also nice new video Mr. Anomalous

[amber citrus]

wooooooaaaaa ;OOOOO thankks a looot :OOO i havee a lot of good WTL video there of PVP and my first S.T.A.L.K.E.R Shadow of COOP edited video, i have many other but need time to edit them xd

[gaunt burrow]

Not likely. C-Con representative did say that most stalkers don't make it during the transportation. Only known crashed Death Truck survivor is Strelok

[solid cosmos]

The Strider trailer we learn that he is Ex-Monolith.

[loud gate]

We don't

[lethal orchid]

We "learn" strider is ex monolith

[gaunt burrow]

Anyways theres difference between Monolithians and Marked Agents

[loud gate]

We don't, we knew. Or maybe.. you mean Skif learns that, but I think he already knew that.

[lethal orchid]

I saw the anomalous dugout video lol

[solid cosmos]

He and strider were both monolith, that is the implication of the conversation, we learn this through context.

[amber citrus]

You encounter Strider in Call of Pripyat* on Jupiter where there you see a Squad of Monolith not being under the control of the C-Consciousness anymore

[old jungle]

Mozi is right, there was an update to the requirements. #📺┃media message

[lethal orchid]

Yeah, hence the quotations around learn

[old jungle]

Thanks!

[amber citrus]

I think it will take me a year or half of daily post videos or like 2-3 a week to get 1000 subs xd but i still really appreciate it ;DDD

[loud gate]

How exactly do you "LEARN" this, there's no actual concrete proof that Skif was Monolith. The only thing "indicating" at that is when Strider says 'Unlike you', but that could just mean he sided with Faust (We know S2 will have a lot of choice with consequences that will change the story)

[solid cosmos]

Strider "you asked me about my good luck charm, it is an empty shell. It reminded me that we used to be puppets."

Skif "I'm sorry strider."

Strider "Only I didn't choose that path, unlike you."

Strider was brainwashed, Skiff chose monolith. It's in the conversation

[loud gate]

"We" refers to his faction, Noon bro

[solid cosmos]

Of which Skiff was apart of. That's why he says the last line. "I didn't choose that path unlike you."

anyway, rewatching these trailers has been nice. It's been a hot minute since I've seen them. gunplay has me excited.

[loud gate]

As I said, that could just indicate at Skif taking Faust's side.

[solid cosmos]

Except Strider was talking about his experience as a monolith.

[gaunt burrow]

Why would he refer to his own faction? I doubt Strider would say that they were puppets of Striders own faction

[loud gate]

Trailers are usually cut together to confuse the viewer into believing other things, that's why you see Strider with the charm and sometimes without it.

[loud gate]

"We used to be puppets" - We refers to his men, which were, just like him, Monolith and brainwashed.

[amber citrus]

a lot of Monolith were brainwashed* and some chose the Monolith and were still brainwashed*

[gaunt burrow]

Exactly. That line is likely Strider referring to the time when him and his men were Monolith'd

[loud gate]

Well, that's what I said

[gaunt burrow]

Aware

[amber citrus]

so that's what he means by it, all were puppets for the C-Consciousness protecting it and the Zone and not allowing the Military to advance

[solid cosmos]

He is speaking directly to skif about not choosing that while Skif himself chose it, I don't see how that doesn't indicate that skif was once a monolith.

[gaunt burrow]

I see your point tbh

[solid cosmos]

The context is that they both were monolith and that now they aren't and it has soured the relationship between Strider and Skif as friends because Strider didn't choose to be Monolith, but Skif did.

[gaunt burrow]

In a direct conversation with Skif, I doubt he meant his men and not Skif himself under "we"

However Skif choosing to be a puppet doesn't necessarily have to be Monolith

He could choose to become a puppet of another faction/organization. Like SIRCAA

[loud gate]

I really don't see it.

[amber citrus]

who the heell is SIRCAA

[gaunt burrow]

"Strelok passed on the information he obtained on this trip to the Chernobyl NPP to the USS commanders. This prompted the government to create a Scientific Institute for Research of the Chernobyl Anomalous Area. Strelok took up the position of Chief Scientist Consultant to the Institute."

And since SIRCAA is a thing that means Streloks good ending slife in CoP is canon afterall

[loud gate]

@gaunt burrow If Skif is a newcomer to the Zone, he wouldn't know anything about the Monolith and what happened. So Strider telling him "WE" makes a lot of sense, it indicates he's talking about Noon members.

[solid cosmos]

Why would Skif apologize to him for that if he's a newcomer to the zone

[loud gate]

Choosing Faust over Strider?

[gaunt burrow]

Why not? I mean do we even know when Skif enteted the Zone? If we assume that he entered there AFTER trilogy events he could talk with a lot of ex Monolithians that got deconverted

[loud gate]

Yes, he Entered the Zone and the game takes place right after that, it's in the ETZ Trailer

[gaunt burrow]

I can see Skif knowing about Monolith and what happened even if he's really a newcomer

And don't forget, rumors spread fast

[loud gate]

Rumors from stalkers? Maybe. But Strider would be telling Skif what ACTUALLY happened, from his POV

And I imagine, Faust would talk about his POV too (He does talk about what happened to him too in the Trailer)

[gaunt burrow]

Perhaps

[solid cosmos]

I suppose we will find out in a few months time.

[amber citrus]

ohh thatt xdd i didnt know you mean that by SIRCAA Xddd

[amber citrus]

shouldn't it be? Strelok is a legendary S.T.A.L.K.E.R, it would be a waste of talent and lore if he died during the evac in Pripyat* correction, he's more legendary, he's the best of the best there

[loud gate]

"Strider" Trailer is obviously geniously edited together, it's nothing new for marketing to do this. They push a narrative that may just be false. GSC wouldn't reveal something like this in a Trailer, it would be a massive spoiler, they are super secretive about the story lmao.

Furthermore, the Strider cutscene has numerous inconsistencies from scene to scene. It's just GSC carefully editing it, not an uncommon tactic

[gaunt burrow]

Not disagreeing with you here. Him dying near evacuation point would just be dumb considering what he went through

[gaunt burrow]

Good point I guess

[amber citrus]

exactly* ;DDD

Am I the only one with these problems?

[sand fiber]

Am I the only one with these problems?
no. welcome to stalker

[solid cosmos]

I haven't had any issues over on Series X with CS

[amber citrus]

There them making look like the main Protagonist/Main Character which is Master Chief die in the trailer or its the other way around the one hunting him xd so Spartan is right they did such edit for the marketing

[amber citrus]

Microsoft beats ezzz PS5

[finite dragon]

Do you have the same problems on PS5 ?

[loud gate]

Don't you find it weird how every trailer is linked together, though they all present inconsistencies with each other?

[sand fiber]

i don't have a PS5, but CS having problems is expected, it was always buggy on PC too

[loud gate]

And I'll back up my theory furthermore - I don't think GSC would do ShoC 2.0

[solid cosmos]

It worked so well the first time

[sand fiber]

BUT THEY SHOULD

[gaunt burrow]

Ye true, however I can still see why so many people think that Skif is an ex Monolith

[loud gate]

I'm willing to bet money it's just a marketing tactic, cause no one is spoiling such stuff in a Trailer

[gaunt burrow]

Could be

[loud gate]

ShoC's story was good, but I don't want the same thing with different flavour

[sand fiber]

untrue! SoC story was bad

[loud gate]

It would be lame, GSC isn't lame

[sand fiber]

[gaunt burrow]

Based

Nozar killed the chat

[solid cosmos]

to be perfectly fair trailers spoil stuff all the time. Not all of them do, but some of them have.

[loud gate]

I'm really curious what trailer would spoil what could only be a big twist. Unless this is something we learn very early in the game, which I doubt

[old jungle]

Imagine if they did not show Strider and we discovered him in-game 🤯

[loud gate]

There's probably a lot of characters we'll discover by playing the game.

I remember GSC mentioning they don't want to reveal too much, but let people discover it themselves.

[gaunt burrow]

I just hope Vano will be there

And Scar

[loud gate]

Me too, Vano was one of coolest characters in CoP

[loud gate]

What if he returns as part of Noon?

[old jungle]

Of course, this will be so good.

[old jungle]

There is a theory he is Faust

[gaunt burrow]

To be fair both are sexy (no homo)

[low token]

This will answer the big question "what happened to Scar after CS ?" ^^

[loud gate]

He doesn't look like Scar though.

I'm starting to overthink the theory too much again (again)

[gaunt burrow]

I want to see which CoP ending slides are canon as well

Except default ending slides and Strelok's and Strider's since their good ending slides are already canon

[old jungle]

People don't care, just like with "Stranger is Strelok with hair" theory

[loud gate]

Faust implies it was his own decision to be brainwashed and blind, Scar was brainwashed by force however

[loud gate]

He does kinda look like Strelok tho, besides the hair

[low token]

Strelok with a wig ? ^^

[gaunt burrow]

You know what else he looks like with that hair? Leon Kennedy

[loud gate]

His eye brows eerily similar

I have been a supporter of the theory since E3 dropped, I'll cope for it

[gaunt burrow]

Seriously though, I can't be the only one who thinks that he looks like Leon Kennedy

[loud gate]

Brother, @vernal magnet called it live

[broken latch]

#1215013259740979320

[vernal magnet]

oh yea that was my first thought during the live reveal lmao

[keen rune]

It's not bugs, it's part of the game

We call it anomalies

[finite dragon]

I have been playing CS on ps4 for over 12 hours right now and have not had any bugs or crashes.
I did have one time where I couldn't load save data though: ...🤔

[regal sapphire]

I completed CS in 16 hours

on my first playthrough

[keen rune]

I completed it in 9 hours

[regal sapphire]

💪 💪 💪

some dude said it took him 1 month ingame to reach the bar in olr 3

[keen rune]

Bet that guy was playing in the hardest difficulty, or never used his PDA

[regal sapphire]

lol

maybe he low crouched the entire way

and made unnecessary huge deturns

because he wanted to have a better look at the environnement

[keen rune]

Can't blame him, CS is visually good looking

[finite dragon]

I took over 100 screenshots in one day. I'll be king of the Great Swamps with Scar for a while.

[gaunt burrow]

Damn

In 16 hours I only leave Cordon

[karmic spoke]

Xbox player here, about to buy one of the games, any suggestions on which games is the funnest/best to start with? I don’t care to much about starting with the first game unless it’s super important that I follow the story line-

[loud gate]

So based

[loud gate]

Start with Shadow of Chornobyl

[karmic spoke]

I was thinking about that- considering it’s the first in the series but I just wanted to make sure

[gaunt burrow]

Chronologically Clear Sky happens first, but its still preferable to start with Shadow of Chernoby, as it has encyclopedia where you can learn about Zones factions, mutants etc

And SoC will also give you a good understanding of stalker world

[karmic spoke]

Game mechanics wise which one would you say is the best?

[pearl jacinth]

call of pripyat

[gaunt burrow]

Imho Clear Sky

But thats just my subjective opinion

[karmic spoke]

Thanks for the help

[sly matrix]

I'm curious as to your reasoning

[loud gate]

Call of Prypiat, but I still recommend playing ShoC and CS before it.

[sly matrix]

I second this motion

[gaunt burrow]

I don't have a super deep reasoning in that subject. I'm just biased because Clear Sky is my most played Stalker game

And my favorite as well

[sly matrix]

That works

[gaunt burrow]

CoP I played the least tbh

[keen rune]

If you want to get started on the series, Shadow of Chernobyl is the one, as it's lore-filled

[gaunt burrow]

I love CoP as well, don't get me wrong

But I simply spent more time in SoC and CS

[keen rune]

@gaunt burrow I'll have you know, Shadow of Chernobyl was difficult, now bump that to Anomaly and the CNPP now gave me trauma beyond my comprehension The zone took my money away

[gaunt burrow]

SoC was never hard for me tbh. Clear Sky too

Only real trouble I had was at CoP's Jupiter Underground area

That part is pain

[sly matrix]

I'm in a weird position where I spend way more time in CS than CoP, but am of the opinion CoP is the better game

[regal sapphire]

my next playthroughs become longer

because I explore more

[keen rune]

CoP is better because it's a superior Stalker game, CS is just visually good, it just feels more linear than the other Stalkers

[regal sapphire]

try and find artifacts and better gear

[regal sapphire]

yea thats what you think man

I personally think CS is better

[gaunt burrow]

CoP does have a lot of improvements but I think we all can agree that its main story is weak

[sly matrix]

well that's just like, your opinion, man...

[gaunt burrow]

Weakest main story in the trilogy

[regal sapphire]

same way that was the other guys opinion

[gaunt burrow]

"Degtyarev go investigate why this operation failed"

[regal sapphire]

this

[gaunt burrow]

"Anomalies move after emissions. Thats why your operation failed lmfao"

[sly matrix]

true

[regal sapphire]

I really liked the new maps I have to say

[keen rune]

I honestly think the only reason the Major went in is because of the operation, and then it's just leaving Pripyat

Basically the whole story is a mystery on why the choppers crashed, that's it

[regal sapphire]

the sniper mission in CoP was amazing imo

[gaunt burrow]

Agreed

[sand gorge]

SoC is the best Stalker game

[loud gate]

HoC is the best Stalker game

[sand gorge]

Based asf

[rapid shadow]

Where can i suggest things / Controls and improvements for Stalker Legends of the Zone?

[serene urchin]

A loner blocked my way so I shot him

[low token]

You're old (and so am I) ^^

[serene urchin]

Is that bad

Or are the loners not like a normal faction

[broken latch]

Currently we don't have a channel for that

[shell swallow]

Will you be able to mod stalker on ps5?

[hazy helm]

mod.io will be implemenmted at a later date

[quiet summit]

Lean mod getting downloaded day 1

[hazy helm]

[quiet summit]

Sipping wockhardt in the zone

You cant lean left and right on console

[hazy helm]

dont play on console

ask someone that does

[quiet summit]

I do

[loud gate]

Yes, at a later date.

[tight kayak]

Stalker dbd crossover

[hazy helm]

dbd?

[shell swallow]

Will it be for both ps5 and Xbox or just Xbox?

[hazy helm]

for 2

[shell swallow]

Ok thanks man, appreciate it

[restive egret]

Hi can someone help me find where the “personal box” is in stalker shadow of chernobyl? I cant find the locations on my in game map (im new on console version) and i cant find a google image of the locations on the map

[gaunt burrow]

Personal boxes are blue boxes. They are scattered throught the Zone and aren't displayed on the map

1 for example is in Sids bunker, another in 100 Rads bar

[restive egret]

Yeah i was hoping on google someone pinned the locations on a picture of the in game map lol

[delicate chasm]

That's not entirely true.

[gaunt burrow]

Other boxes are at different areas

[gaunt burrow]

How so

[delicate chasm]

Well, up until CoP there is no designated personal box in the games. However, there are containers that are not used by NPCs or as stashes. Such boxes can be found in a variety of places, such as Sid's bunker, in the train depot on Garbage by the stalkers camp, a few of them in the Dark Valley (1 in the bandit base, 1 in the plant above X18), Agroprom institute (3rd floor), Bar - Arnie's room, 100 rads bar (the most commonly used one), Duty bunker near Voronin, Yantar - scientists bunker, Army Warehouses - near Cap on the Barrier. There are some that may be improperly scripted camp boxes for NPCs that they end up not filling up with stuff and some may be imporperly written stashes, but the latter I don't recall any examples of in SoC.

[gaunt burrow]

I don't get your point ngl. CoP literally uses the exact SAME boxes Clear Sky and SoC uses

I mean sure in CoP boxes people can put items after Degtyarev completes specific quests but those stashes literally aren't different than stashes of previous games

[delicate chasm]

It's a technical matter. The game never identifies them as personal to the protagonist boxes. They're placed for convenience, but in CoP there is a gameplay aspect of having a personal box because NPCs gratitude items are placed there and the game strictly identifies a couple of them as such.

Therefore it's impossible to say what boxes are "personal" in SoC - there are just boxes that you can use, frankly, to the same extent as any other stash - looted or not.

[tight kayak]

Dead by daylight

[hazy helm]

ew

[delicate chasm]

However there are distinct containers near camps that NPCs tend to occasionally put things in (behind the scenes, it's implied when the stuff spawns there)

[lean fossil]

anyone have a good idea why I can't find the battery artifact in the red forest?

[gaunt burrow]

No offense but thats just semantics tbh. Game might not directly say to you that those boxes are or aren't personal but they can still become your personal boxes

[delicate chasm]

Just the same as any other stash, though.

Because if the person that asked about it is looking for some specific "personal box" for whatever reason - there simply isn't one in the original SoC or CS, as opposed to CoP.

Unless for the game port and some achievement matter (I don't know about this) the people who ported the games designated some specific ones as personal based on gameplay experience.

[delicate chasm]

it should be on the south-west of the dead forest, just next to the cliff, if you're playing SoC, that is...

[sand gorge]

Yes you can tf

[lean fossil]

yeah, I've looked there it's not there

[lean fossil]

when your ADSing it's the bumpers

[keen rune]

Stalker 4 is the best

[gaunt burrow]

Stalker: SigmaStalker solos

[rapid shadow]

oh ok thank you, another thing, do you know or someone knows how to quick save on Stalker Legends of the zone Without entering to menu > Save Game > etc?

i mean like the pc versions?

[keen rune]

I don't think it's a thing in consoles, usually console games require you to go through the menu to quicksave, PC is only F5 because of controls I assume

[rapid shadow]

i though there was some kind because in xbox one, the game crashes with the console and sometimes i have to restart the console to properly work, so i was wondering if there was some kind of alternative to avoid this and save the game, like, with the new controls, Holding Lb + Pause or pressing all buttons randomly but nothing 😦

[restive egret]

I havent had a problem with my xbox so far

@rapid shadow what generation console do you have?

[rapid shadow]

One Fat and series S, and both have the same problem

[restive egret]

I have a series s that latest gen console and i dont have any problems. Are you using a external hard drive?

[rapid shadow]

Yes ... do you think that is causing the problem?

[restive egret]

Nah i was wondering if you not having one was the problem. I have one and no issues

[sand gorge]

WHAT IS THAT PFP

[solid cosmos]

I do kinda want Strelok added to fortnite cause emoting on kids I just sent to the lobby with Strelok would be hilarious.

[restive egret]

Nah the blood sucker

[solid cosmos]

both

[restive egret]

It should make you cry about my pfp plus the banner

[rapid shadow]

that´s weird, because the trilogy are the only games that i have problems, no coop games, no solo games, i mean, even Ark ASE works perfect on hard drive and no issues, but Stalker SHoC, CS and CoP crashes when i try to save, it doesn´t happen every time i save, it´s like 60% of the time, but when it happens twice, my console doesn´t load the menu and stands black screen like "loading"

[solid cosmos]

Why is she eating string

[restive egret]

Its definietly something wrong with your download of the game. You may have to redownload the game

[rapid shadow]

let me try that, hope it works 😦

[restive egret]

And do an old pro saving game tip. DO NOT have a shit ton of game save files

When you did that on older games the game would run slower. Keep 1 save file at the beginning of the game and maybe 2 more thats it

The other 2 should be a midway game save and the latest game save

[solid cosmos]

I alway maxed mine out and then deleted them all except 2 then overwrite one

[restive egret]

You must be a sadist

[solid cosmos]

I had 0 issues

Any crash I ha dwas right after an autosave so I just could reload it

[restive egret]

That probably happened because you had a shit ton of saves

[solid cosmos]

Yeah but it never negatively impacted me lol. there's no quicksaving so I just kept making saves until I was done
