[dire dagger]

Yes it was bro

[silk sparrow]

no

[full rampart]

@granite mortar Sorry for ping, but SRP wants 1.5.10 version of Clear sky, does it want that exact version or is it the minimum patch of STALKER required?

[dire dagger]

Low tier micron ddr5 lookin ass

[full rampart]

nvm iam stupid

[silk sparrow]

[full rampart]

thats the latest patch of the game lmao

[limber current]

Does stalker 2 supports fsr and dlss

[silk sparrow]

it is good ram

[full rampart]

probably

[dire dagger]

But man cl30 6000 is Hynix ddr5 is like a million times better

[limber current]

Then I’m safe 😂

[indigo marsh]

*ray of cope

[silk sparrow]

there was no such thing than i builded PC

[jaunty pebble]

Yes, DLSS 3.7 and AMD FSR 3.2

[dire dagger]

Nah cus it won’t tune on the secondaries

[granite mortar]

Its real man
Trust

[silk sparrow]

i almost found cl36. all vendors was empty

[limber current]

Great 🔥

[dire dagger]

If you got Hynix stuff you can get 15 percent more cpu performance by tuning the hell out of the secondaries

I’ve done it

And it works

Crazy performance uplift for zero dollars

Totally free

[full rampart]

that rarely happens

[dire dagger]

Ddr5 is a unique case

[full rampart]

highly depends on what games you're doing it on, could be either 20 fps or 3

[silk sparrow]

9800x3d + AM5 + DDR5

[full rampart]

Oh then i have no idea

[dire dagger]

Secondary timings normally wouldn’t do anything more then like 3 percent but

[full rampart]

wasn't ryzen locked by the infinity fabric thingie?

[dire dagger]

In case of ddr5 it’s mental

[dire dagger]

Yes and no

[native pike]

If I buy the collector phisical edition of stalker, will the digital key for the game be on Steam or GOG ?

[silk sparrow]

my current cpu is cooked before even delivery

[dire dagger]

Steam

[dense raft]

Why only they answer the same millions of question about physical edition :/

[granite mortar]

Steam
For the millionth time
STEAM

[limber current]

Intel i7 or ryzen 7 which one is better

[full rampart]

make bot that can recognize question

[full rampart]

pc

[dire dagger]

Ryzen 7 all the way

[granite mortar]

Depends on specific model but usually AMD

[mint hollow]

What do "Reprint" means?

[limber current]

Yes

[dire dagger]

Intel is total dog right now

[silk sparrow]

also i need new cpu watercooler, i think i dont have mount for AM5

🤑 🤑 🤑

[dire dagger]

That it might not come with a steel book

That’s all best I can tell

[granite mortar]

It will come with plasticbook

[limber current]

I heard in Lenovo LOQ series motherboard is getting affected only happens in intel CPU

[mint hollow]

Thanks

[granite mortar]

Cuz intel is poopoo
Not only do the CPUs barely work but they cause trouble with other components too

[full rampart]

Chymo, do you applaud SRP because of the optional features or are those a no go?

[indigo marsh]

Maybe it might get a false positive and answer a question that wasn't being asked

[granite mortar]

Depends
For first playthrough go bugfix only

[full rampart]

price worth paying

[pearl olive]

Clear Sky am I right

[full rampart]

yee

[celest blaze]

also the 13th and 14th gen scandal

they knew about the issues

[granite mortar]

i5 650 was the last good Intel processor

[full rampart]

Smaller crosshair + Feasible stealth + No enemy minimap spots + Move faster through water?

[celest blaze]

my i7 12700 aint bad but it could be better next CPU im doing is AMD

[granite mortar]

._.
Bugfix only

[full rampart]

Even the feasible stealth? ok

[granite mortar]

Just bugfixes bruh
No optionals

[limber current]

After stalker 2 I’m waiting for marvel spiderman 2 🔥

[full rampart]

gonna fight the power and add the smaller crosshair

[sour goblet]

what do you guys think gsc thinks of the sexual bloodsucker comments

[full rampart]

the what

[celest blaze]

if i was them id ban them from playing

[indigo marsh]

I think everything but the stealth one is fine

[celest blaze]

force them to go back to loverslab

[sour goblet]

:frown_strelok:

[silk sparrow]

additional DLC content

[granite mortar]

._.

[indigo marsh]

I use a laptop with a i5 13th Gen and it's screaming when it's charging

[granite mortar]

Lmao

[silk sparrow]

i use 13700k and i see artifacts without playing stalker

[indigo marsh]

Like the fans are kicking into overdrive with just a charger and 1 SINGLE chrome tab

[celest blaze]

oh no...

[full rampart]

Gonna play on Stalker difficulty

[silk sparrow]

its tough

[granite mortar]

[silk sparrow]

play master

[indigo marsh]

Luckily I have my laptop with the i5 7th gen

[celest blaze]

play the difficulty you wish to play

[granite mortar]

Dont listen to Difficulty Suckers
They are retards

"uhh I beat the game on master"
Oh congratulations, it only took you 2 times longer and you had to savesсum during every fight

[silk sparrow]

AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D official performance leak: 8% better at gaming, 15% in multi-threaded apps vs. 7800X3D

[indigo marsh]

Not even lore accurate. It would be the bandits thinking the fleshes are hot. Freedom and duty have that dialogue because they grab bandits dialogue in the garbage.

[full rampart]

I did that when I had to fight the military outpost with a knife only and without armour

[silk sparrow]

and 7800 was already beast

[celest blaze]

fr master was more tedious then hard tbh

[full rampart]

It was pain

[celest blaze]

cop master i didnt even notice lol

[sour goblet]

[sly matrix]

Based people play however they like, regardless of what others say

[granite mortar]

I love how Jekans mods just straight up replace the difficulty menu with story mode selector because it was useless anyways

[celest blaze]

now cotz master is fun its pretty deadly with that warfighter mod

[full rampart]

Stalker was a good balance between difficult and fun imo so gonna play it again until the end game

[celest blaze]

fr haha based

[granite mortar]

Except if you play shit mods
Then you will be ridiculed (and rightfully so :3)

[dire dagger]

And there new cpus are just a lose across the board against Ryzen

They don’t even clock to 10ghz like the old ones do

[indigo marsh]

The only time I regretted my life and my ego picking master was my first time at the construction site in Limansk. And I really regretted it. So I decided to install a soup mod. Luckily my better judgement got a hold of me and I finished the trilogy. It was stalker soup and it took too much space and I didn't play it so I deleted it.

[granite mortar]

Yup
Man AMD is winning so hard
No crazy issues
Better price to performance
New CPUs for old sockets

Common AMD W streak

[celest blaze]

i wonder how a 7800x3d would do with heavily modded skyrim compared to intel

[sour goblet]

i think the mods that make the game more realistic and add more stuff to it are pretty fun, the graphics usually dont look much different from cop at max graphics tho

[granite mortar]

No
Those mods are the actual worst

[indigo marsh]

The ||achievement symbols|| in messenger are so pretty

[sour goblet]

they're a little funky but most of it works

[granite mortar]

Yup
BC 2 will|| also have some cool achievements with nice symbols||

[indigo marsh]

Was way better than in vanilla CoP IMO

[granite mortar]

I mean
The whole Mason trilogy is just CoP but good so

[limber current]

Atleast I can run this game at low to medium settings 😌

[distant agate]

does anyone know if you get the code early if you pre-ordered a physical set?

[celest blaze]

is the 7900xtx the best amd card on the market rn ?

[granite mortar]

With the last batch you do

[granite mortar]

The most powerful
Yeah

[distant agate]

last batch as it the one they announced?

[sour goblet]

any of you guys know a mod that replaces the gun names with their real life names?

[granite mortar]

AMD is bit lacking in the high end

[limber current]

MINIMUM:
OS: Windows 10, Windows 11
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X / Intel Core i5-7600K
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Storage: 150 GB available space
Additional Notes: SSD 😌

[dense hatch]

I played CS on veteran and it plays basically the same

[dire dagger]

They had a run of none stop Ls from 2007 till 2017 at least with CPUs

[dense hatch]

difficulty is a lie, do not believe the charts

[granite mortar]

Yes
It wont get delivered for release so you will get code via email

[dire dagger]

They had some gpu ws during that time

[dense hatch]

the PMM is bad in every timeline

[granite mortar]

Like RX550
Goated GPU

[sour goblet]

PMM IS A DIFFICULTY BASED GUN PMM IS A DIFFICULTY BASED GUN PMM IS A DIFFICULTY BASED GUN

[dire dagger]

Nah 7970

[dense hatch]

it better be absolutely terrible in stalker 2

[dire dagger]

And 5870

[limber current]

How’s Alan wake 2 dlc

[sour goblet]

RAGGHH MY BRAIN IS MELTING

[dense hatch]

I also hope weapons drop at like 70% condition instead of 30%

[worthy lagoon]

Ye

[sour goblet]

yeah thats probably the most annoying part

[granite mortar]

Say what you want but here 550 was amazing low end gpu
It roughly compared to GT 1030
Except it had double the memory and here it only cost 60 bucks while 1030 was full 100 bucks

[distant agate]

coolio, cause I was thinking it would be poopy to wait 6 months haha

I'm glad that's not the case

[solid dome]

I heard Krettin may not be able to play S2...

[celest blaze]

???

[woven lion]

[solid dome]

No SSD, no gaming....

[celest blaze]

oh no..

[granite mortar]

Noo
Poor Krazzyn the Grokfinite

https://tenor.com/view/austin-powers-dr-evil-come-here-gentle-father-gif-5360972

[granite mortar]

The guns arent replicas
Just inspired
Giving them real life names would essentially be misslabeling them

[celest blaze]

We will delay stalker 2 until you get SSD

[sour goblet]

thats fair

[dense hatch]

also the fake names are better

[granite mortar]

Tru

[uncut night]

they are semi fictional cursed versions of real guns in many cases

[dense hatch]

TRS 301 my beloved

[crisp ruin]

I have 3 computers

[granite mortar]

AC my beloved
Man AN looks actually cursed in stalker cuz you cant see the mag
Making the mag go straight down was the best change GSC did with AC

[pseudo rivet]

SGI-5k, my beloved

As well as IL 86, my beloved

[still ridge]

How about ZUBR-19

My beloved

[pseudo rivet]

PEAK

[still ridge]

It’s so peak

[sly matrix]

Am I weird for using an SGI 5K for 5.45 ammo?

[pseudo rivet]

https://tenor.com/view/it's-just-so-peak-peak-panda-peak-panda-it's-just-so-peak-gif-10789048890486755182

[still ridge]

Yes

[dense hatch]

I think it was one of the few guns to be visually unchanged throughout the series

[pseudo rivet]

No, because SGI-5k with 5.45x39mm is PEAK in Faction Wars

[still ridge]

I like how the early F2000 model is that early prototype

[sly matrix]

THANK YOU

[still ridge]

It’s so cool lol

[dire dagger]

I’m not talking value brother those cards trade blows with the best nvidia had to offer if not completely destroyed it in benchmarks

Also can’t forget about the

[pseudo rivet]

First of all, you get it FOR FREE if you join Freedom along with a SUSAT Scope, so you've literally already have a great weapon for all ranges

[dense hatch]

they made the scope worse

[pseudo rivet]

Secondly, you can upgrade it into an automatic sniper rifle

[dire dagger]

https://youtu.be/W9pB2IYOI9Q?feature=shared

[pseudo rivet]

Thirdly, you can upgrade it to use 5.45x39mm ammo which Duty uses primarily

So it's legit peak

[sly matrix]

And higher damage than AC96

[dense hatch]

which gun is this

[sour goblet]

im just going to create a computer to boost my laptop to play stalker 2, that should DEFINITELY work. DEFINITELY wont have any problems.

[sour goblet]

babakan

[pseudo rivet]

In fact, the SGI-5k is comparable with the GP 37 and the FT-200m in that their stats are mostly the same, with the difference being accuracy and damage. GP 37 has better accuracy, SGI-5k has better damage, FT-200m sits between both

Even with the worse accuracy, it's pretty accurate

So the damage boost compared to the other guns is pretty great

[still ridge]

But you get to choose between having an optical sight or not

And can attach a grenade launcher

[sly matrix]

Grenade launcher pistol for S2?

[dense hatch]

YEAAAH

[sour goblet]

thats just a slingshot

[dense hatch]

flare gun for stalker 2

[sly matrix]

ALSO ACCEPTABLE

[pseudo rivet]

Aye, but both can also have the M203 Grenade Launcher attached

[dense hatch]

set people on fire or call in mortars

60% the shells hit an anomaly and detonate in the air

[pseudo rivet]

So I dunno, but SGI-5k just peak

Same with GP 37

[sly matrix]

Perfect weapon for fighting bandits

[still ridge]

I will become an AR-416 connoisseur when the time comes

Drum magazine and probably M203

[pseudo rivet]

I don't know yet, from what I've seen so far, weapon options seem a little bit limited

MAC-10 or ZUBR-19 look neat

[uncut night]

I'm curious I'm game what functional difference will be between the dnirpo and fora221

[still ridge]

Not really? Bunch of cool new weapons

[pseudo rivet]

Viper-5 returns from the Trilogy, so we can hope it'll still be peak

[sly matrix]

Viper with reflex sight plox?

[still ridge]

MAYBE Malyuk can be rechambered in 2 different cartridges and Fort-221 can’t?

[wheat shell]

me when I can run with Ultra, RT, DLSS 3.5 😁
Im so hyped for it!

[still ridge]

Afaik there’s a 5.56, 5.45, and 7.62 Malyuk

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, but like, when it comes to an even amount of 5.45 and 5.56 weapons. I know the Trilogy doesn't have that either, but they did have 9x39mm weapons to compensate. I don't believe we've seen any 9x19mm pistols so far and I haven't seen a lot of NATO stuff either

[still ridge]

But the Fort-221 is only 5.45 or 5.56

[limber current]

Specs ?

[pseudo rivet]

100%, it will

[wheat shell]

i5-12400f, rtx 4070, 32gb ram ddr4, 1440p 165hz

[pseudo rivet]

Which will make it even better than it already was in the Trilogy for sniping and stuff

[limber current]

You have Beast I’m having rtx 4050 😭

[wheat shell]

also I can run cyberpunk 2077 with epic settings, no DLSS

[wheat shell]

r u playing on Laptop, no?

[uncut night]

I have a gut feeling that 1 or 2 old trilogy weapons will return whenever it comes time for a dlc

[limber current]

It’s a laptop GPU

[dire dagger]

I think you over estimate your rig

[wheat shell]

yeah i was wondered

[dire dagger]

But go off king

[still ridge]

Yeah I have a 3050 laptop and I’m not sure how my computer will handle S2

[pseudo rivet]

Hopefully, I need my IL 86

[still ridge]

I’m sure it can run it, but not with crazy graphics or anything

[wheat shell]

[limber current]

Low settings most probably

[dire dagger]

At 720p

[still ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-im-dead-falling-over-gif-2711800222951691028

[wheat shell]

720p is pain

[limber current]

Anyone with gtx 1650 😂

[dire dagger]

1650 might not even open the game

[still ridge]

If it’s 720P I’m not playing lol

[dire dagger]

I’d still play

[wraith flax]

Weird i cant seem to be able to pre order physical copy of S2

[limber current]

Dude it’s a unreal engine 5 game even 4060 might struggle

[dire dagger]

Where do you live

Guys anyone with 4050 pls assemble

[dire dagger]

I got an intel arc a770 in a box

Does that count

It’s slightly better than a 4050

[wraith flax]

@dire dagger I cant seem to find it

[sour goblet]

oh boy i sure do love taking advantage of cardan's alcoholism

[limber current]

I have a confusion whether I should buy stalker 2 🥲

[sour goblet]

you should

[wheat shell]

you can get stalker 2 on gamepass

[wraith flax]

Nvm found it

[dire dagger]

It’s make me hold the hand the whole way there smh https://game-legends.de/en/S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-2-Heart-of-Chornobyl-Ultimate-Edition-Reprint-Code-in-a-Box-XSRX-4020628560270

[dire dagger]

Do you have usb 4

[still ridge]

what dat

[dire dagger]

It’s thunderbolt 3 but amd edition

It would let you plug a gpu into your laptop

[limber current]

Medium settings

[dire dagger]

Nah dude

[still ridge]

GPU is 3050 ti laptop GPU

[limber current]

Low settings

Or may be ultra low

[still ridge]

nah man it should be better than ultra low

if it's that bad I won't play until I get a better computer lol

[dire dagger]

You miss understand it’s not a regular 3050 ti

[limber current]

Vram might be an issue now we need Atleast 8

[dire dagger]

It’s 3050 ti with its knees bashed in

[limber current]

Did you run last of us remake

[dire dagger]

If you use msi afterburner you might be able to overclock the laptop slightly

And get more fps

[still ridge]

but does it not reach minimum requirements?

it should, right?

[dire dagger]

Toward the lower end

[limber current]

MINIMUM:
OS: Windows 10, Windows 11
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X / Intel Core i5-7600K
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Storage: 150 GB available space
Additional Notes: SSD

[still ridge]

3050 laptop GPU gotta be better than a 1060

[dire dagger]

Ehhhhh

[limber current]

Yes hope so

[dire dagger]

If it is not by much

[blissful peak]

I think it will run, just on low settings

[limber current]

If you can run Alan wake 2 it’s fine 😂

If I had money I would have went for rtx 4060 8gb vram

[dire dagger]

Try msi after burner

[still ridge]

Not sure if this is a good basis but it struggles to run squad

I get 50-60 fps but it looks like Roblox

[dire dagger]

Msi after burner should be able to slightly overclock the laptop gpu

[limber current]

I think we can run marvel spiderman 2

[still ridge]

It already heats up like a bitch lol

[broken latch]

I'm doing that!!!

[blissful peak]

I'm sure microcenter will have sale soon due to Christmas, you'll be able to get smth then ?

[still ridge]

It might actually melt my computer if I overclock it

[still ridge]

Or Best Buy

Lol

[blissful peak]

Yeah or that, many options if money is tight Ebay will also work

[limber current]

Go for it

[dire dagger]

Crank fan speed up to max also in afterburner

[blissful peak]

I wonder what the game will need to run on max settings tho, if it will as demanding as cyberpunk and if they will have good Optimisation. For sure things like DLSS, DLAA, imagine generation will help a lot

[dire nimbus]

i have i7 6700 i think i wont be able to run it

but i have gtx 1070 and 16gb ram

[blissful peak]

Can also get a laptop stand with a fan ? It will help with airflow and seeing if the cooling fins are dirty

[dire nimbus]

my i7 is like only 5% worse than minimum

[blissful peak]

Nah should be able too

1080p right ?

[dire nimbus]

yes

[blissful peak]

Then u should be just fine

[dire nimbus]

60fps low and medium textures because of 8gb vram

[dire nimbus]

but my pc is 7 yrs old

i think the older pc is it gets worse

[blissful peak]

With regular maintenance, changing thermal paste/ pads etc it will run just fine

[dire nimbus]

ok:)

[limber current]

I’m having ryzen 7 7735hs , rtx 4050 16gb ram 😐

[dire nimbus]

meme: indians be like MY high end gt710 2gb will it run ray tracing???

[blissful peak]

Most issues from what I've seen on old systems comes from poor maintenance, overheating due to old thermal paste / crappy hardrives. All of which is a cheap fix and will run pretty good

[dire nimbus]

vhai high end curry mobile 2gb 4fps

[dire dagger]

Gt 710 is actually just a 3 times rebadged 2010 gpu

[limber current]

Indians are poor

[dire nimbus]

i know

but for 2x price of gt710 they can get gtx 1050ti

wich has 5x better performance

[limber current]

I was using 1650 with 8gb ram runs most of the games

[boreal mica]

You should be fine. It's not like they put the minimum spec 8 year GPU.

So don't stress too much.

[limber current]

Rtx 3050 and 4050 only smalll difference right

[dire nimbus]

3050 and 4050 scam

[boreal mica]

Ofc you won't run it with reflex and all the fireworks but it should run fine.

[dire nimbus]

but rtx 3050 and 4050 will run stalker 2

[boreal mica]

Even on the 3050 laptop version.

[limber current]

Not scam it can run low to med

It all depends on optimization

[dire nimbus]

but id go for a 4060ti or 4070

[wheat shell]

remember: 3060ti is better than 4060ti.

[limber current]

Money problem

[boreal mica]

It is supposed to run fine on Xbox series S guys, don't scare the people.

[dire nimbus]

then go for 3060

[limber current]

Dude I’m having 4050 now 3060 and this card performs the same

No difference

[dire nimbus]

3%

[limber current]

Atleast I will play spiderman 2 that’s it

[crisp ruin]

I have 3060 ti

The based Garphic Card

[boreal mica]

Cyberpunk for minimal requires the same GPU as the S2 and recommended 2060 super, S2 recommend is 2070 super. I was able to play cyberpunk mostly on high with stable 60fps with 1980x1200 on 3050 laptop version, so don't listen to people saying that you will have to play on the lowest with 720p

[sour goblet]

im installing my first mod guys yippeee

[boreal mica]

Because it's bull poo poo

[still ridge]

Thanks brah

[still ridge]

Whatcha playin?

[dire dagger]

In case you guys forget an eBay 1080 ti is like 180 bux

Which is the recommended spec

[boreal mica]

In case you forgot not everyone earns their paychecks in dollars and the prices differ in some countries.

[sour goblet]

arsenal overhaul, if you could provide me some mods to add difficulty it would be appreciated

[jaunty pebble]

Oh god, I checked steam discussions

Absolute brainless takes happening there

[dire dagger]

Meh not really

1080 ti cost the same everywhere more or less

[boreal mica]

In my country it costs around 1/5 of my paycheck.

[jaunty pebble]

Someone please lobotomize me because these takes have no sense

[boreal mica]

Zotac even more.

[dire dagger]

Just get any

[dire dagger]

How often you get payed

[boreal mica]

Monthly.

[dire dagger]

Oh bruh

Making me sound like Mr money bags

[boreal mica]

Yeap, so if I could afford getting a better PC I get it. And it's the same for plenty of us. Crazy electronic prizes. I can live comfortably, but I have to save a lot to buy a decent PC.

i heard that i could build a decent pc with 1k so im saving up for that

reddit is absolutely the worst

for a lot of reasons, nothing surprises me anymore

Useless to you maybe

do people actually look at the ping and go to the linked video and watch it to the end

No atleast Reddit sometimes have logical takes. Steam Discussions is pure lobotomized takes

I know Reddit is a cesspit, but atleast sometimes there are good takes on there

[celest blaze]

There is some good parts of reddit thankfully

[jaunty pebble]

Steam Discussions should be closed and burned. Period

[indigo marsh]

Like the tech support part

[livid gulch]

broken clock is right twice a day.

[celest blaze]

^^ troubleshooting bethesda mods and issues for example

[indigo marsh]

Couldn't be me. I play stalker mods and discord is good enough for me.

[limber current]

I don’t have insta , Facebook nothing only playing games eating food watch some movies

[sour goblet]

i dont know how to install mods so i might destroy my game lmao

[celest blaze]

Fair cotz is about the only stalker mod I use i don't really care for stalker story mods tbh

[livid gulch]

Learn, It's worth it and will extend the life of your favourite games indefinitely . in a lot of cases it's not harder than moving files from one folder to another.

[twin thistle]

half of the mods now are completely standalone

(specifically for STALKER, not for other games mind you)

[celest blaze]

Stalker by far has the most conversion mods I've seen so far

[livid gulch]

because GSC is based AF.

[sour goblet]

its an addon mod i believe

[twin thistle]

a lot of them really aren't too hard, you just run an executable on a fresh install and boom, sex

if it's a more detailed process, they usually leave great instructions in the readme or download page

[livid gulch]

^

Even the huge modpacks kinda install themselves these days, Anomaly is a stand alone download, Gamma has an installer, Hayzee's Custom is just drag and drop. It's a good time to get into it.

[twin thistle]

oh, also, Youtube is a great resource if you really need the visual aid for the process

[celest blaze]

Anomaly custom 🤢

Those devs are garbage Ztards who will ban anyone who doesn't speak bad against the Ukranian "regime "

[sour goblet]

omaygot realism mod

[scenic steeple]

why won't ozersky give me anomalous plant.

[sour goblet]

He is the sin of greed, incarnate. You must end his filthy hoarding by ending his life.

[scenic steeple]

but i need the bubble that spawns there.

doesn't spawn till mission complete

[sour goblet]

im pretty sure bubble spawns in any acidic anomaly thing

[scenic steeple]

no luck, i am going for the guranteed

[livid gulch]

That's why i use Hayzee's, Similar vibe to CuZZtom, but from an actual decent human being.

[scenic steeple]

also i gotta do anomalous plant to recruit the guy

[hasty basin]

worried about the horrible unreal engine anti aliasing..

[lime gull]

Just gouge out your eyes, you won't even notice

[hasty basin]

forgot what it is called, but i hope we can change graphic settings well in the game.. i thin kits called TSR? whatever introduces blur and shit everywhere and ghosting

singleplayer game though, doubt the configuration files are encrypted like in multiplayer unreal games so we can change

[scenic steeple]

GENTLEMEN TEAR DOWN THE WARDS WALLS

[lime gull]

Gsc did say that the engine is a tweaked version of UE 5.4/5.1, maybe some of the common UE 5 complaints will be assuaged.

[hasty basin]

Most of my complaints have been when the configuration files themself cannot be changed on MP UE5 games, i dont think this will be the case here so even if complaints a modder can fix

Just so darn.. excited

GF stopped me from buying the ultimate collectors edition 😂

[hazy helm]

UE5 introduces many of the complaints about GFX ppl have

[lime gull]

Yeah, same

[lime gull]

Idk anything about that, I just know GSC heavily tweaked the engine to make it preform the way they want it to.

Presumably so people don't need to bash their brains out trying to mod the game, since the same dev did say they are working on making modding tools that should make full conversion mods a viable possibility

[celest goblet]

It is not uncommon for a big project to do so

[still ridge]

Honestly yeah

Seems like more than Bethesda games

[celest blaze]

Fr I'm only aware of starwind for morrowind and enderal for skyrim

[still ridge]

I don’t think there’s anything like stalker soup mods for fallout or Skyrim/TES games

[celest blaze]

Ngl I'd love a fallout/tes soup mod

[celest goblet]

Doom and source engine are the only other things I can think of really

[native ibex]

Heya, folks

We still getting some new mutants? Was a stag one, wasn't there

[celest goblet]

Yeah. And the Bayun

[native ibex]

Cats weren't in vanilla trilogy?

||So that's how the main characters lasted so long||

[sly badge]

why the physical edition cant be still ordered ?

Oh, I have a friend there. Painful language you have there. My tongue cried trying to learn anything of it.

[dire dagger]

Come on bro don’t say that

Mates just asking a question don’t gotta throw shade at him

[sly badge]

language is fine 😄 but any info of preorders ?

[dire dagger]

I just posted where to pre order

[sly badge]

i hoped i can order it in my contry i searched for official sellers but nobody has it

[dire dagger]

My bro that site is the only place you can get it from

Everywhere else is sold out

[hasty basin]

what is a soup mod?

[dire dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/stirring-soup-food52-vegetable-soup-cooking-gif-19592413

Soup mod

[sour goblet]

adds soup

[twin thistle]

probably because Bethesda's now a dick about modding and wants a cut

[dire dagger]

Plus they made starfield

[native ibex]

Hmm. What if we shared tea and soup on the giant construction machine in Yanov? Maybe hold hands a little, UwU

[dire dagger]

L RIZZ fr

[native ibex]

And can't make a decent base game

[twin thistle]

I bought the smartwatch edition. Oh well, at least the watch is cool.

[native ibex]

Same. It's nifty.

[still ridge]

I want the artifact lamp lol

Shits so cool

[dire dagger]

I mean just get a real smart watch

Way more useful

[native ibex]

I'd prefer if they included functioning AS VAL, but we live in hell

[twin thistle]

I don't actually use smartwatches, not my speed. the more tactile movements >>>

[native ibex]

Yeah, what's the use

[dire dagger]

Could never go back

You can skip songs from it while your driving

With out touching your phone

[native ibex]

I got earbuds for that

[dire dagger]

Yah but what if I bump them and knock them out my ears

I can’t exactly search for them while driving

[native ibex]

Well, that's on you

Mine sit firmly

Hmm.. if only we could inventt some kind of cable that could keep earbuds safely anchored to the user. Such technology is beyond us, however. Perhaps we once knew how...

[twin thistle]

what sorcery is this, long live CD players

(the smartwatch is the sorcery, not the CD player, you could skip with that too lol)

[blissful peak]

But charging watches, atleast normal watches keep working as long as u just use them and the mechanism uses ur momentum to wind it up

[native ibex]

I'm awaiting my smart sundial

[dire dagger]

If they last the entire time I’m awake I see no issue

Which they do

Plug them in before you go to bed wake up tomorrow and it’s good for another day

[twin thistle]

or just stick it next to an electro artifact, boom, problem solved, no batteries needed.

[granite mortar]

My watches charge for roughly 2 hours and can go for a whole month without recharging

[marsh dome]

trailer today ?

[indigo marsh]

It's a mod that adds a ton of content

[still ridge]

I bet another artifact video

[dire dagger]

They made pocket sun dials

[native ibex]

I know. Very curious

[boreal mica]

There are two kinds of stalker 2 hyped people:
-cant wait to put my hands on the ultimate goodies
-eyyy yoooo! stalker on gamepass!!!!11111oneone

[worn oar]

[marsh dome]

probably, but the Strelok Trailer is still missing ?

[still ridge]

There won’t be one

[twin thistle]

Would be funny if the final quest is to kill Strelok and actually fulfill the storyloop

[granite mortar]

Fork of Narodnaya Solyanka
The very first soup mod
Usually the term reffers to poorly made Frankenstein of a mod that was sewn together using bunch of random stuff from various other mods

[celest goblet]

Sometimes they are surprisingly well made Frankenstein messes

[granite mortar]

Sometimes its Frankenpeak
Usually its Frankenslop

[hasty basin]

play stalcraft or call of pripyat.. what shud i doooo

[indigo marsh]

CoP

[granite mortar]

CoP any day

[indigo marsh]

CoP is a pretty good game

[boreal mica]

CoP still holds well

[granite mortar]

Most western mods would qualify for the title of Vasyanka
Which is the same as soup except usually worse in quality and not based on NS

[dire dagger]

We will have to just find strelok out in the zone

It will be a legendary moment

[full rampart]

Oh yeah, one more thing, what directx version should i run stalker CS on?

[lime gull]

⌛

[granite mortar]

[full rampart]

Full dynamic one or regular?

[granite mortar]

Whichever you want

DX8 looks too dark and dx9 looks like i am in a raytracing demo

Does our faction have any gameplay effect? Or a tie in?

[dense hatch]

for what

[lapis thicket]

In the actual game I mean

[dense hatch]

which one

[indigo marsh]

It's like bandits as an enemy without making joining bandits impossible.

[dense hatch]

bandits will probably be enemies considering people fought them in the demo

[indigo marsh]

Oh for stalker 2

Anyone know where to get the health symbol in high quality? Trying to make a “Psy Emission” patch

[fast stratus]

Hi guys

[indigo marsh]

Hello

[fast stratus]

Is there any side quests in stalker 2 like RPG games

[indigo marsh]

We don't know yet

You will have to wait for November 20, 2024 to find out

[worthy urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/kyocera-purple-schedule-date-calendar-gif-17738942

epic embed fail

[hardy turtle]

will we get new trailers?

[sour goblet]

ive been waiting for like 20-30 minutes after putting down the second mutant scanner and there has been zero mutant spawns

hold on there isnt a second mutant scanner

what the hell did i place

[broken latch]

Game is out in 2 weeks, why do you need more

[pearl jacinth]

i can feel the brainrot advancing

[opaque vortex]

There will definitely be side quests, devs confirmed that they will be a mix of the og trilogy, which to me means they will be a mix of story rich quests, more simple quests and possibly repeatable quests I.e kill x stalker or mutant quests

[fast stratus]

Nice

[opaque vortex]

With how big and open the world is I think it's safe to say we can expect loads of side content

[pearl jacinth]

i sure hope there'd be side quests with an open world map as big as stalker 2, lol

[last kiln]

Are the recommended system specs for medium 1080p, no dlss, or higher/lower

[uncut night]

Already been confirmed via the recent press demos.

[silk sparrow]

this game isnt linear?

[finite dragon]

Anybody knows when we can preload on steam?

[silk sparrow]

let me call gaben

he should open gates for stalker soon

[hollow idol]

Is this a joke?? I made a preorder for Ultimate Collectors Edition 3 years ago
and today I recieved an email saying I wont recieve my order at all, only if someone cancels their order then I might get theirs as replacement but it's not guaranteed...

[dire dagger]

By no means the first to report this

[hollow idol]

I got a phone number for the reseller at my place
oh boy, tomorrow gonna be spicy

btw how many documents are in jupiter? i can never seem to get them all (atleast i think)

[blissful grotto]

I have a question, does 20 Nov come out this is true this is final date?

[dire dagger]

Yup

[sour goblet]

yes

[pearl jacinth]

its quite the opposite of linear

[lime gull]

Comes out on Nov 20th.

[blissful grotto]

oki thank

[lime gull]

The main plot is usually pretty linear, but there's tons of open play quests and gameplay.

[pearl jacinth]

the openness will feel amplified now that it's one big map, and not multiple maps attached by load triggers.

[dire dagger]

Friendly reminder that we’re still looking for new staff so if you think you got what it takes fill out the forum and apply

[terse shore]

warfare would go crazy on 1 big map

[gaunt burrow]

good luck to all applicants

[sour goblet]

anyone got a map maybe?

[gaunt burrow]

do you refer to certain area of Jupiter or the whole map?

i remember 2 documents being in a building where you have to kill mercs that were defending scientists bunker

[sour goblet]

the map of jupiter plant

[sour goblet]

i got those and sold black's pda

[gaunt burrow]

give me a minute of few, i'll check and tell you how many documents there are on the entire Jupiter section

[sour goblet]

thanks bro

[twin thistle]

Qualification 1: A stash with 2 bottles of vodka, a bread loaf, and 2 sausages must be within 0.5KM of your person at all times.

[dire dagger]

Requirements be based and epic

fun fact: nimble's eliminator is in fact unique, it sells for more and has a seperate file (or soemthing like that)

the guns interior is made of higher quality metal or something

[gaunt burrow]

notes: note to Ghost, Fang and Strelok. documents: administrative documents, delivery schedule, Documents with notes, note to sokolov, underpass schematics, duty shift log. PDAs: blacks PDA, Snag's PDA (optional, can be obtained only if you kill Snag), Sultans messangers PDA

[gaunt burrow]

@sour goblet btw, there's another PDA that can be obtained by veryy specific way, that PDA is called "Mercenary's PDA" #📸┃screens_and_videos

you need to take morgans side and then go to jupiter and roam outside Yanov for some time

no idea when those merc NPCs will arrive in your playthrough, though. when I was playing they arrived in around 8~ minutes

[dire nimbus]

gsc be like on 20th we are sorry : release 31th december 2026

Nope

You just gotta apply

The post in announcements

[opaque vortex]

Anyone think we might be getting new trailers next week before launch?

[dire nimbus]

yes

[dire nimbus]

you mean: next century

[opaque vortex]

Delay trailer next week confirmed

A 2 min trailer a day showing off different things would be awesome though

[dire nimbus]

true a day before release

like showing gameplay in cnpp

[opaque vortex]

Delayed to q1 2025

[dire nimbus]

XD

[opaque vortex]

I'd love to see some a life explanation, introducing the different factions and what they represent

[dire nimbus]

same and showing a little of story like 1hour of it

would be awesome

[opaque vortex]

I don't want any story stuff and doubt they would show that they want alot of the game to be a surprise which is the best way

[dire nimbus]

oh ok i respect ur opinion

[dire nimbus]

nah imagine in 100 years its realeasing and in our coffins theres a screen showing stalker 2 final trailer

[opaque vortex]

Sounds like star citizen tbh😂

[solemn elk]

It's sick, def getting the physical edition. Can I get it on Amazon or smth?

I'm becoming Young Adult to Adult boyz, in January 1st. Being close to 26 just bruh moment

most are sold out i think but you could definitely find somewhere, mostly depends if they ship to your country or not i believe

Amazing, I'll wait if I must

Dunno, happy birthday or something?

[crisp ruin]

nope, not today

[boreal mica]

So no happy birthday for you.

My dad has a January 2nd birthday

[sour goblet]

thats basically the same thing

[snow lark]

2 weeks left tomorrow for Stalker 2 🙂

What I heard is, most January born people are mostly becoming nationalist, intelligent and genius.

[sour goblet]

and you're a richter simp

[crisp ruin]

Ya know, not havin bf just

Don’t check if you don’t know

It’s for the better

[sour goblet]

i wont

[sour goblet]

ive learned to control my curiosity, because it usually ends bad

[crisp ruin]

Irony is Hasan is rich Turkish boy larping as "Commie Socialist", even his uncle does worse than him. Plus, Turks hates Commies.

[dire dagger]

Real but no politics

So I gotta cut that off here

[crisp ruin]

ofc

back to why I don't have bf and need to kiss bloodsucker

[sour goblet]

okay im convinced you are delulu because i never said you had to

[crisp ruin]

[sour goblet]

the psy-emissions are messing up your brain for sure

[gaunt blade]

[sour goblet]

military: we need to kill anyone who crosses
stalkers: sneak past
ward: ok what if we just built a huge ass wall
stalkers:

whoever came up with that idea must have been smarter than nikola tesla

[crisp ruin]

and putting Vova Vist there, mf ain't stopping

[sour goblet]

vova vista's rp-74 is definitely better than zulu's rp-74

[fluid abyss]

Based on shagoogly magoogly

[crisp ruin]

vista??

[sour goblet]

yes, i call him that

[boreal mica]

What I heard is that most of September people were New Year's eve party accidents

[late pivot]

[sour goblet]

dude why does my brain have to think of the most horrifying things at night

[indigo marsh]

Just don't think then

[boreal mica]

Like the another stalker's premiere date change

Or inability to kill Richter

[sour goblet]

no it just manifests grotesque faces in my head and then i cant sleep

[cosmic shoal]

Anyone know where I can find good quality Psi-Emission hazard label? Trying to make a patch out of it

[boreal mica]

Make them snork

Or bloodfu...sucker

[sour goblet]

make it yourself

[cosmic shoal]

I’m dumb : (

[boreal mica]

Maybe in game files?

[sour goblet]

bloodfvcker sounds like the name of an 18+ mod that makes all bloodsuckers female and adds a sucking animation

[boreal mica]

I don't want to see it again.

[sour goblet]

i just triggered a man's ptsd

[fluid abyss]

Bro that sounds like a break core artist

[sour goblet]

true

[boreal mica]

It sounds like unofficial stalker communities a few years ago

stalker shadow of chernobyl: 800 roubles gauss rifle
stalker call of pripyat: 5000 roubles seva suit

[dire dagger]

Bruh is down bad

[next fog]

hey guys, weird problem in SoC , i entered chernobyl power plant and the voice language changed to ukrainian and i can't find an option to change it to english, is there a fix to it ?

[boreal mica]

The Zone opened your ears. The Zone in fact is in Ukraine, and in Ukraine people speak Ukrainian.

[next fog]

or is it intentional that monolith is not translated

[north violet]

Isn't all of the background dialogue actually Russian in the original trilogy?

[gaunt burrow]

Yes

NPCs still scream Russian phrases even in EN dub

And all campfire jokes are on Russian too

[boreal mica]

It's mixed

Like freedom speaks Ukrainian, military also, Duty is Russian afaik

[naive fog]

It's better that way

Peak CNPP

[dire dagger]

Monolith are just walking bags of meat for me to shoot

[boreal mica]

Bandits mix russian with Ukrainian, loners probably too

[north violet]

@gaunt burrow Really? Huh, I never read about that being the case before.

[wanton phoenix]

The big rock

[dire dagger]

Monolith is not god I am because only I can save and load

I am the god of this world

[north violet]

Have we ever been given a canon reason for using Rubles as the in-game currency? I always assumed it just made currency exchange easier.

[boreal mica]

Enough alcohol for today man.

[dire dagger]

My power of saving and loading knows no bounds

[gaunt burrow]

I'm playing on PC so its all in Russian (I mean campfire jokes and phrases NPCs scream). On console it might be different case since console games are more Ukranian-ized (Bes for example is Bis on console)

[indigo marsh]

If you are god then make an RX 7 FD out of thin air

[dire dagger]

Bro….

[wanton phoenix]

I have no clue, im guessing because of the abundance of Soviet Rubles

[dire dagger]

Don’t do me like that

[naive fog]

It's gonna be so funny actually understanding NPCs in HoC loll

[dire dagger]

You know I would if I could

[boreal mica]

Probably rubble is more known than hryvna so it is better for a broader audience. No more rubble in stalker 2.

[north violet]

Yeah, I had always read that all of the background dialogue was Russian, and I too have only ever played on PC.

@boreal mica Has this always been the case with the NPC background/campfire dialogue?

[dire dagger]

The deepest parts of my mind desire the brap brap

[lean quiver]

Ah what a good day, RS2 Update

[north violet]

What currency are they using now? Hryvna or Euros?

[boreal mica]

It's probably because there are more Ukrainians in Poland than Russian, you spend more time with Ukrainian language.

[gaunt burrow]

In console games curreny is SR = stalker roubles, instead of RU

[twin thistle]

they should use the greatest currency of them all, Dogecoin

[lean quiver]

what's a brab brab

[boreal mica]

Wasn't it credits or coupons or something like that now?

[wanton phoenix]

My dumbass thought they were Soviet Rubles nit stalker rubles

[twin thistle]

brap brap is a gun noise, after 3 bottles of vodka

[naive fog]

Mfw Grosze exist

[indigo marsh]

@dire dagger Do you know if this real? A giveaway for 3 ultimate editions from an account that looks MSI UK on Twitter (UK and Ireland only). They are follow by the Official MSI account.

[naive fog]

1 grosz is like 0.002 euro iirc

[twin thistle]

them shits are loud but I live in Baltimore so I unfortunately know what actual gunfire sounds like

[boreal mica]

I don't, I live in a safe country

[lean quiver]

I see...

[twin thistle]

🗿

[lean quiver]

🤣

[dense hatch]

imagine not fearing for your life whenever you go to the store, smh

[boreal mica]

I don't have to imagine.

[dire dagger]

No idea

[jade wigeon]

Baltimore is the US's version of The Zone

[dense hatch]

then you're clearly not safe

[indigo marsh]

Probably need to ask mol1t or any of the other CMs in case it's a scam.

[boreal mica]

I was living in considered as one of the most dangerous parts of my city. I could take a walk in the middle of the night and I haven't to fear about my life.

[gaunt burrow]

I thought that was Detroit

[dense hatch]

that means nothing

[jade wigeon]

We dont talk about Detroit

[boreal mica]

There was a slight chance of getting mugged but never had to fear about my life. Nowadays the most dangerous thing for me is crossing the road when I don't watch out.

[dense hatch]

depending on the city most dangerous could be like walking through a park in mid daylight

[dire dagger]

Mol1t is sleeping so probably won’t find out till tomorrow

[boreal mica]

Fortunately my country is pretty safe.

[indigo marsh]

So the other cms then

[dire dagger]

Post a link to the post

[boreal mica]

And I love my country because of that I don't have to worry if I can play stalker 2 in two weeks.

But there is one country which is struggling right now with probability of psycho getting elected. Unfortunately this country is very very influential on the world wide scale so guys, please don't ruin my stalker 2 premiere.

Something is really strange with the ask question section, they answer the same questions 100 times, like if they have any news about ultimate physical edition, yet my 2 times submitted questions from a month and 15 days ago never got answerd, looking at that page its either when one can get ultimate physical edition answerd 500 times by now for sure, or some one asking about deep lore question that the devs stated 50 times its spoilers or NDA, then if we ask about stuff like will the game support HDR on release, or if there will be preload or if the steam key that ships with the digital phsyical edition has expiry date.... they never get asnwsed ....kinda strange....

[dire dagger]

where do you live

[buoyant siren]

[boreal mica]

Also getting hyped twice because my stalker 2 keyboard is arriving three days after the stalker 2 premiere

[buoyant siren]

did you read my post even?

[dense hatch]

it's just complaning

[dire dagger]

ill admit i was multi tasking let me re read

[buoyant siren]

no worries

but i thought who ever reads the questions should avoid the same asnwer 500 times in the span of a month

[boreal mica]

WILL MY ULTIMATE ARRIVE I DIDN'T RECEIVE EMAIL

[buoyant siren]

and actually answer stuff that might be new, Like HDR support, preload, and pyhical edition steam key expiry date if its a thing

[boreal mica]

WILL BE THE CODES SENT EARLIER

[dire dagger]

ok so you wanna know if the game will be preloadable

[boreal mica]

WILL BE THERE POSSIBILITY TO BUY ULTIMATE BEFORE THE 10TH

[dire dagger]

and if the key will arrive via email

[boreal mica]

#📜┃ask-gsc was a fun channel few days ago

[buoyant siren]

all 3 questions preferably, as im planing on getting an HDR monitor, but if Stalker dont support it i might change my mind, also my build is not ready before few month and im afraid my steam key will expire if its a thingy

[boreal mica]

Time to sleep, see you tomorrow guys and gals

[dire dagger]

preloading idk ive heard people could preload on xbox but pc so far no i can vouch for this i got a game key early the keys will be emailed to you on the day of the games release and as for hdr support pc HDR is kinda mid as hell unless you get an oled and even then support is pretty mild at best on pc

[halcyon plaza]

Switch versions just got an update. Any patch notes for this?

[gaunt burrow]

Gn

[buoyant siren]

do steam keys expire, my build could be ready in Feb or i might delay until September next year, worried that my steam key will be expired by September 2025

also im planing on getting Mini-Led and HDR is ok on Windows 11 nowadays but if Stalker 2 dont support it i might just save few 100$ and go for normal screen

[halcyon plaza]

Why not just redeem your steam key now then

[dire dagger]

far as im aware keys never expire

also that

just redeem the key

[buoyant siren]

good to know, thx for trying to help, the entire thingy with ask a question is fishy tho...questions about the new release of phsyical got answered in few days while 2 subbmited quetions about other stuff never answered

[dire dagger]

just me personally but id never bother with hdr on pc if i wasn't getting an oled

and there are some great options for oled monitors idk if you wanna dive down that rabbit hole though i can show you some solid ones

[nimble cipher]

bendy52 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[jade coral]

It’s a rabbbit hole and $ for oled but worth it if you got the hardware to match

[buoyant siren]

MAN that was epic

[dire dagger]

i read your message and

get a qd-oled

it fixes that issue

[buoyant siren]

how much is a qd-oled?

i feel like the fear of burn is also not a thingy on mini led

[dire dagger]

uh like 700 bones ish

[jade coral]

Depends on size go with a 27’-34’

[buoyant siren]

this thing needs 0 maintance on mini led

[dire dagger]

modern oleds are fine

id happily own a modern oled

people have done tests on this and

getting them to burn in would take you literally using them like a moron

you practically must try on purpose to get them to burn in for it to happen

[buoyant siren]

i see, will in both cases i still wanna know if Stalker 2 uses HDR to begin with

[jade coral]

Also have a burn in reset function for some monitors where it’ll “erase” kinda cool

[dire dagger]

no clue

https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/alienware-34-curved-qd-oled-gaming-monitor-aw3423dw/apd/210-bcye/monitors-monitor-accessories

but this monitor is on clearence right now

and its got amazing reviews

[buoyant siren]

got also warning for bad word using...... is it the f i s h y word ? da fudge

[dire dagger]

its not something to worry about

we might change it soon

dunno yet

but

[granite mortar]

Lmao
Get fuсking Wolf'd

[dire dagger]

i wasn't gonna do it

lmfao

bro came and did it for me

[buoyant siren]

i cant seem to find peak brightness, im sure all oled peak at like 500 or 600 at full screen

[dire dagger]

"Combined with 1000 nits peak brightness, infinite contrast ratio and VESA Display HDR True Black 400 certification, you can expect incredibly realistic visuals for unforgettably immersive gaming experiences."

[buoyant siren]

my friend mini-led litterly made me close my eye in dark room during peak brightness, i tihnk its like 1340 nits

dont trust the 1000HDR alone, they can get at 10% of screen

[dire dagger]

tbh ive seen this monitor in person next to mini leds

[buoyant siren]

while at full screen its like 500 or 600 max on most o led and QD if im not mistaken

[dire dagger]

and id take it over mini led any day of the week

[buoyant siren]

but again Oleds are lovely in terms of contrast and no ghosting

[dire dagger]

in my opinion the slightly dimmer oled blows mini led out of the water in terms of actual pictuer quality

[buoyant siren]

yeah both serve their roles, now if only the devs answer about HDR support

[dire dagger]

so the max brightness doesn't really matter when the picture is just so much better

[dire dagger]

knowing pc hdr

the support will either be mid as fuck

or barely work

almost zero pc games have proper hdr support which is the fault of windows

[buoyant siren]

i feel we are getting there on Windows 11, Ghost of tsushima, Alan wake 2 and hellbalde all got good HDR support in recent times, now also with Hunt showdown

but yeah its like 6 games per year xD

mostly single player titles, so i see you point and that's why i was wondering about Stalker 2

[dire dagger]

again no clue

if i was to flip a coin and guess

id say probably it will

[buoyant siren]

might email the devs i guess

thx anyway

cheeky breeky

[dire dagger]

the thing is the cms are not typically up to speed on the exact technical details of the game

not to throw shade at them

completely the opposite but the reason they don't answer your question is honestly because they probably don't know

[buoyant siren]

could be, arent the green guys devs from GSC tho who are answering that sections?

or just community staff ?

[dire dagger]

no

there community managers

[buoyant siren]

email it is then

[rapid fox]

only a couple more weeks until 2 it's insane

[wheat shell]

yeah!

Can't wait to play Stalker 2 all day

[rapid fox]

it's going to be awesome, i have a couple games recently in my rotation but it's only because 2 isn't out yet

[native sparrow]

Already asked for the next two years off of work so I can play stalker.

[rapid fox]

going to need all the time off for stalker

[woven patio]

just finished the whole trilogy grinded it

[native sparrow]

Grinding clear sky rn

[woven patio]

So no possible delays because theyve began preorders i guess?

[worn oar]

Only CMs are managing the #📜┃gsc-answers channel. If they didn't answer it means your question was not seen or it's entirely NDA.

[native sparrow]

No delays at all, this is is.

[woven patio]

clear sky i may have done some cheating

red forest was too hard lmao

[native sparrow]

Gonna tell my boss I’m deal with stalkers

[worn oar]

oh yeah

[woven patio]

tried some anomaly to see all the games combuned and all and its extroidinarily hard

also cause i suck in pc

[tranquil vector]

is multi player in the basic version?

[worn oar]

Yes

[gaunt burrow]

What do you mean by basic version? Do you refer to original games or something else?

[worn oar]

Multiplayer is a free dlc that will come after release (date is not shared yet)

[worn oar]

He meant in the standard edition

[gaunt burrow]

Aha

[tranquil vector]

yes exact, thanks !

[still ridge]

@gaunt burrow are you gonna rock with strider or Faust on the first run through?

[native sparrow]

I’m so glad I can finally be allowed to legally walk in a radioactive zone and grab potentially dangerous biohazards so I can sell them to some random guy I met less than 2 days ago!

[gaunt burrow]

Strider

[still ridge]

Yeah same. Easy choice

[drowsy kettle]

do we know how many artifacts we can have at a time?

[still ridge]

strider is going to be a very compelling character, probably the most in the game

[gaunt burrow]

🤝

[still ridge]

Id guess the same CoP

5

[gaunt burrow]

I assume 5 since max amount of artifacts we could use in the trilogy was always 5

[drowsy kettle]

ahh okay got ya thank you

[still ridge]

I want a stalker suit that has 5 artifact containers and also a couple health regenerating mods

that would be goated

Like a duty suit but with artifact containers

[native sparrow]

Anyone know if the 1911 is in S2?

Or some version of it

[pseudo meteor]

will there be hideout building?

[jade coral]

Probably, if not in the future with mods

[still ridge]

Not that we know of. There will be a USP though which is better lol

Mods will add plenty of weapons when it becomes available

[native sparrow]

I just hope the mods aren’t limited like they were on the trilogy. (For consoles.)

[jade coral]

Probably will be : (

[pseudo meteor]

Think mods for consoles will always be limited

[pallid spruce]

Yesterday I had a question left unanswered so I bring it back

Why did the Military leave the Military survivors at the Military base in the Army Warehouses to die if we can easily assume that the transponder was able to reach the Military outside of the zone and such?

[dense hatch]

there was like 15 people and the military didn't think it was worth the investment
