Aconfirmed

[full bronze]

what type of artifact is "wife"?

[untold salmon]

fantastical

[velvet igloo]

My rifle is my wife

[tidal matrix]

You need to leave a space anomaly to find this "wife"

[gleaming ruin]

No women allowed in the zone, sorry wife

[boreal epoch]

Thankfuly most of Silent Hill fans loved Remake of 2. I'm one of Them the game is fantastic.
Those that complain still about every little change are not really a SH fans.
Even bigest creators from Silent Hill love Remake

[alpine ibex]

Take a look at 1st trailer reveals vs now take a look at how james face change because half of fan say it look weird.... plus they scale the head of marry because it look way out of proportion from his body after launch because it is

[wide owl]

Hi guys do you know when stalker releases on 20. November? Time in +0 UTC?

[proper rock]

+150% social life point

-250% gaming aura.

[untold salmon]

people think 4pm utc but it could be a placeholder

[dire dagger]

Wow no way

[untold salmon]

HUH

[tidal matrix]

Excuse me?

[proper rock]

They are, but married to their FAMAS.
The most trusted man in this Chernobyl area.

[jaunty pebble]

Not yet announced but we have a placeholder time of 19:00 UTC+2

[boreal epoch]

It what that has to do with lore.
James face looks great in final game.
Also idk on Silent Hill reddit I didn't really saw people complaining about Mary head proportions. I didn't even notice it being off myself during first playthrough.

[celest blaze]

Sometimes things are better left unsaid

[tidal matrix]

Someone put that man in a space anomaly, we don't need to hear more of that

[gleaming tangle]

She's a big lotr hp fan and she's likes 40k a bit

[untold salmon]

Stalkers, crush his balls

[wide owl]

okay

[tidal matrix]

Have fun bro

[jaunty pebble]

They will announce a much detailed worldwide release hour map when they decide to release the map

[alpine ibex]

it legitimate criticism.

[blissful dome]

FHRITP

[proper rock]

By the way folks, is the open world " locked " until you reach a certain point of the story ?
Or it's open since the beginning ?

[tidal matrix]

Probably locked

[full bronze]

DLC

[untold salmon]

its open

[gleaming tangle]

What 😅

[north herald]

The first chapter will be a bit locked. But after that it will be open

[untold salmon]

Molit said in response to can you go straight to the cnpp, "you can try =)"

[blissful dome]

Fu her right in the 😺

[jaunty pebble]

No. Open after the tutorial segment

[tidal matrix]

Considering skiff is new to the zone, it should be locked until he gets to meet new people or buy maps

[dire dagger]

Me using my sawed off and leather coat to to battle fully kitted goons at the cnpp with a Gauss rifles

[untold salmon]

so as far as im aware its basically a tutorial section where you enter the zone and get into a fight then wake up with nothing

[dire dagger]

[jaunty pebble]

I mean that’s why the fog of war exits on the PDA map

[proper rock]

It's okay.. I got the ultimate edition

But thank you folks for the answers

[jaunty pebble]

Cuz Skif doesnt know the zone

[full bronze]

it was a EA joke

[blissful dome]

I hope skiff is an Asian fellow

[tidal matrix]

Are you guys considering visiting chernobyl in real life one day? Like those paid tours?

[jaunty pebble]

Yes, and its also called Chornobly

[dire dagger]

Why would skiff be Asian

[untold salmon]

i've thought about it

[indigo marsh]

What do you guys think of downloading a GPU?

[untold salmon]

Chornobly

[granite mortar]

it drains psy health

[blissful dome]

Why wouldn't he be you racist(don't take it serious)

[tidal matrix]

Sorry, I'm used to calling it Chernobyl, and I will call it that way.

[dire dagger]

Because he’s from Ukraine?

[full bronze]

the only real answer

[gleaming ruin]

It’s cool, there’s some cool loners who told me they’d sell me a Gauss rifle, I just have to escort them to this obscure barn in the middle of nowhere

[jaunty pebble]

No problem, just be careful when saying it near Ukrainians

[blissful dome]

Asian-Ukrainian man

[proper rock]

I got you my bro, don't worry

[granite mortar]

theres a big Vietnamese minority in ex-Eastern Bloc

[dire dagger]

Can’t say I’ve ever seen on of those

[tidal matrix]

Not worried about Ukrainians, nationality doesn't matter as long as you're human

[blissful dome]

Beauty

I gotta go to work boys god damn it

[proper rock]

Good luck !

[tidal matrix]

I have to go work too but I'm not going, why should you?

Listen to your intrusive thoughts, don't go

[granite mortar]

what if youre an Ork tho?
Dont the bois deserve respect?
we have lot to learn from the blood thirsty sentient mushrooms

[blissful dome]

Just do what I said a just keep popping xans until you wake up on the 20th

[tidal matrix]

Bro what

I love Fungi and I did research on it, but what is you talking about

[vivid sphinx]

The intrusive thoughts is your future self telling you what to do to get the best timeline. /j

[proper rock]

Go to work.. until the release of the game

[untold salmon]

warhammer reference

[tidal matrix]

Sorry didn't play that game

[granite mortar]

he doesnt know
heretic!
CHAOS SERVANT!

[tidal matrix]

I work from home, so I will be "working" on Nov 20

[vivid sphinx]

Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!

[proper rock]

Lmao ! I love that dude

[empty gorge]

wtfffff no preload on 160gb is actually crazy rip non fibre homies

[velvet igloo]

Do you atleast know how to pronounce it in both of the 2 languages if you have to say some is ukrainian and the other is hated by them?

[granite mortar]

[dire dagger]

I got copper and it will be done in like 4 hours

Don’t sleep on copper

[tidal matrix]

I say it like Anomalous dugout

[vivid sphinx]

Khorne doesn’t care where the blood flows, just as long as it flows.

[tidal matrix]

Chirnobil

[vivid sphinx]

Cherry Bill.

[gleaming ruin]

There was a rumor it’d preload 1-2 days before launch

[dire dagger]

Nope it was 100 percent confirmed

There is no preload

[tidal matrix]

They're right if they want to get political, but it doesn't mean that we should. It's just a game

[gleaming ruin]

Tragic :((

[velvet igloo]

I say it as it is said in my language which is černobyl(same as chernobyl). It always was chernobyl and always will be. You dont translate names in my opinion. You say them in the original language when and where they have been created

[tidal matrix]

Btw who's that guy in the trailer, that looks like their president?

[empty gorge]

4 hours is good but there are like places with sub 10/s average jeez

[tidal matrix]

Agreed.

[gritty geyser]

XDD

[dire dagger]

Not sure he’s a cameo

[tidal matrix]

I wonder how does he feel about it xD

[gleaming ruin]

I pay for 500mb but unfortunately get ~10 regularly unfortunately

[dire dagger]

He is suppose to look like zelesnky though

[north herald]

its "tschernobyl" in german 😄

[dire dagger]

That was the intention from what I understand

[empty gorge]

ill pray for you so you get the 500 instead of 10 but damn gsc really messed up with the no preload

[velvet igloo]

Which is pronounced originaly and corectly

[tidal matrix]

I can only imagine how the Russians will mod him when the game gets released, they didn't think this through

[ruby warren]

The head of SIRCAA? Dalim or something like that

[dire dagger]

Not really

[velvet igloo]

Did you consider naming yourself goluboy? 😂

[dire dagger]

You just have to wait oh boo hoo

[gleaming ruin]

No preload for it is unfortunate, it’ll buff though

[dire dagger]

Again

[ruby warren]

If it makes you feel better I have it pre-loaded ❤️

[untold salmon]

RAH

[dire dagger]

On Xbox

[gritty geyser]

It means blue , it just a nickname bro

[empty gorge]

i do wonder what the reason is for no preload

[fluid abyss]

GAMERS! Reminder that as long as your PC is on, you can download your steam games on your PC through the mobile app. Useful if you’ll be away from home upon release.

[abstract needle]

6 more days lets goooo def not suffering rn

[stark anvil]

[gleaming ruin]

Worried about leakers, especially since there’s no DRM

[dire dagger]

This

[plush burrow]

downside is that you cant select drives afaik

[ruby warren]

Is it going to be a staggered release or is it unlocking worldwide at the same time?

[empty gorge]

but is there really no way to datamine say a jailbroken xbox or does something like that not excist anymore

[dire dagger]

World wide unlock time

[plush burrow]

probably global cus steam

[dire dagger]

As far as I’m aware

[alpine ibex]

Does the game supports utrawide screen? Anyone got info?

[velvet igloo]

Yeah and goluboy means exactly the same thing its just different shade. I thought you speak the language

[plush burrow]

yes

[ruby warren]

Guess I won’t move to New Zealand for 12 hours then

[gleaming ruin]

Way less common but technically possible. I think they’re just mitigating it as much as possible

[alpine ibex]

Source?

[dire dagger]

Bro any game From the last 8 years has ultra wide support

[plush burrow]

#📜┃gsc-answers

[dire dagger]

Unless it’s a Bethesda game

But that’s hardly a fair comparison cus Bethesda is so painfully incompetent

[tacit prism]

i heard theres a DLC coming out for N64 support (its only 29,99$)

[gritty geyser]

Goluboy it’s light blue , it’s different colour , also goluboy means gay 🤷‍♂️

[alpine ibex]

Cant find any

[empty gorge]

sucks for the slow internet homies but is what it is, do you know the time it unlocks per chance? and timezone

[velvet igloo]

Yeah i know

[plush burrow]

use the search function, select the channel and type ultrawide

[velvet igloo]

Blue is still blue as said just different shade

[north herald]

Im so glad stalker 2 is on gog.

[untold salmon]

gog

[plush burrow]

'' Yes. We support 16:9 21:9 32:9 & 16:10 for example ''

[gleaming ruin]

You’ll have to purchase 20,009 n64’s to run the game on low with 7 hour loading screen

[dire dagger]

Who even cares the game is already drm free

Owning it not on steam doesn’t do anything for you

[untold salmon]

there is ultrawide support

[dire dagger]

[gritty geyser]

Ok , but y u even start to talk about my nickname?

[north herald]

A game that big without drm is a big win.

[gleaming ruin]

Not sure tbh

[dire dagger]

It would probably be unplayable with drm

Performance would be so ass

[empty gorge]

like it isnt already

[gleaming ruin]

I 100% agree lol

[north herald]

i wouldn care for drm if not the most have this stupid always online feature

[gleaming ruin]

DRM is a cancer

[empty gorge]

thats a drm tho always online

[dire dagger]

It’s got the best drm of all time

The people who would pirate it can’t even run it

[tidal matrix]

Like Mortal Kombat

[hazy helm]

all games you guy on steam have a steam drm bundled with the exe, thats built in automatically with the download, it doesnt slow the game down and its not very effective however

[north herald]

but isnt there something like a steam drm? Like that you can play it offline but atleast through the offline steam client

[tidal matrix]

It's been a year and no one could pirate it due to denuvo

[dire dagger]

If your too broke to buy the game your too broke to run it

[empty gorge]

itll still stutter like ass with wild frametime, crazy 1% and 0.1%

[hazy helm]

you can read more about steam drm here
https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/drm

[tidal matrix]

do't think so, I think you can play the games from the exe file offline

[gleaming ruin]

I have a buddy who would probably still pirate it and he has a 4090. Some people are weird

[reef wadi]

When steam goes DRM ubisoft bye bye

[rocky swan]

PC Pre load?

[north herald]

not always, there are steamgames that tell you you need to run it through steam

[untold salmon]

no :(

[dire dagger]

Check pins

[empty gorge]

no

[hazy helm]

check ask gsc

[reef wadi]

Only xbox app

[dire dagger]

Pinned it in here for future reference

[blissful peak]

yo jack you ready to play some stalker 2 in ur fav car (tesla) ?

[tidal matrix]

The most important question is, what are you drinking with your first play through?

[north herald]

hot choclate

[dire dagger]

Tesla doesn’t make cars they make bombs

That happen to have wheels attached

[untold salmon]

Several cans of monster so I can play for days straight

[north herald]

and you?

[tidal matrix]

Crazy

[blissful peak]

fully agreed also when car channel ?

[plush burrow]

kvass

[dire dagger]

Idk I have to ask mol1t

[tidal matrix]

Either a fat cold bottle of soda or an energy drink

[earnest bear]

Man that sucks no preload

[ruby warren]

Water and maybe a couple of beers

[tidal matrix]

We have a brand here that looks like the stalker drink, close enough for me

[hazy helm]

[blissful peak]

imagine all the car talk 😉 with pics / vids

[plush burrow]

if theres news on no preload is there news on the unlock time?

[gleaming ruin]

Pet channel would be dope too

[empty gorge]

no dude

[tidal matrix]

guessing midnight CET

[blissful peak]

we all combine our hate for EV

[empty gorge]

no info on unlock time

[tidal matrix]

you guys are not ready for my orange cat

[earnest bear]

Yea they basically said no preload on PC suckers

[blissful peak]

that will be released closer to the release date, so dont worry they will have a worldwide map with release timings

[north herald]

I cant wait anymore guys. Im replaying RDR1 to past the time.

[empty gorge]

no preload, some countries will have the game unlocked in middle of night or something, this is fine

[hazy helm]

at a later date

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-and-feather-green-black-eat-lick-gif-16376373

[plush burrow]

on other platforms probably yes, steam is always a global release time

[north herald]

+1

[tidal matrix]

I'm playing the new CS2 update, they added a new map

[ruby warren]

Xbox says 10am my time (cst) on the 20th launch, but that usually changes

[stuck crystal]

anyone have slow internet speed?

[dire dagger]

There was news on preloads

[chilly edge]

[dire dagger]

There not happening

[vocal mesa]

release times are placeholder yet to be annmounced

[north herald]

Counter Strike or Citie Skylines? xD

[hazy helm]

most of the world ye

[tidal matrix]

10,bps

[plush burrow]

yeah i meant as in that preloads werent happening, that i knew that , but that i was wondering about the release time

[tidal matrix]

Counter Strike of course xD

[dire dagger]

Fr

[tidal matrix]

It's when you strike the counter

[north herald]

Ahhh xD

[blissful peak]

mol1t could arrange the channel, no ?

[dire dagger]

All the boys come to talk about cars enough I feel a Channel I’d warranted

[dire dagger]

I just asked he said maybe

[plush burrow]

[blissful peak]

[north herald]

I really want to show my 2 Cats with a channel like that

[tidal matrix]

Good, I need to rant about the bad choices I made with my car

[celest blaze]

Aslong as vehicles of the zone are talked about aswell it's lore accurate channel

[earnest bear]

Consider to Make one about pc Hardware wen you are at it

[blissful peak]

u got an EV ? thats the only bad choice

[tidal matrix]

Nope, but a chinese car (only choice available for me atm)

[dire dagger]

Think we need that too

[blissful peak]

dont tell me chan gan

[dire dagger]

Both channels are high on my list of topics for the next meeting of the moderators

[stuck crystal]

if a lot of people download it momentarily and the steam server stops then how fix 😭

[dire dagger]

[tidal matrix]

Nah it's Geely Emgrand

[blissful peak]

sorry but eww

[tidal matrix]

Cool car but lack of rerplacement parts and stupid mechanics who don't understand how it works

[north herald]

Dont remember me on something like that. When the Forest 2 came out it was a disaster

[dire dagger]

How I feel fr

[tacit prism]

new DLC idea: you can only use one artifact at a time and if you want more slots, each slot only costs 4,99$ (capped at 50 slots)

[dire dagger]

My cars not that hard to work on but

[blissful peak]

yeah the parts is the biggest issue.

[plush burrow]

Then we get an article saying "the demand for stalker 2 was so high, it crashed the steam servers"

[dire dagger]

90 percent of mechanics look at the cars age and refuse to even look at it

Gotta love mechanics

[tidal matrix]

My radiator blew up yesterday becaus a mechanic forgot to put the fan cables on once he was done, like???

[blissful peak]

cause its special

[fallow garden]

no preload on pc hahahahahha

[dire dagger]

Like bro it’s not a 30 year old ford

[untold salmon]

what year and model?

[main tangle]

Imagine taking the day off to play STALKER 2, but now you have just sit doing nothing because you need to download 160gb with slow internet, and you won't even have enough speed to at least watch other people play because you're downloading the game 🙂 Amazing

[dire dagger]

1995 Miata

[blissful peak]

pics

[north herald]

You sir have taste

[dense hatch]

should've taken the next day off tbh

[untold salmon]

hell yeah brother i got a 91

[dire dagger]

Hardly special if it sold over 300k cars in the USA

[tidal matrix]

Bro is driving an artifact

[north herald]

I have an 2021 Mazda 3

[dire dagger]

Pfff

[celest blaze]

Naw man

[dire dagger]

It looks like crap atm cus I crashed it and had to replace one of the fenders but one sec

[celest blaze]

Cars were made to be good back then compared to this modern throwaway slop

[earnest bear]

Well at least you skip spoilers

[blissful peak]

ey man u just said ur car is generic. every car is special with the exception of chinese and EV

[untold salmon]

that means you have at the most, one fender with no rust

[tidal matrix]

Agreed

[blissful peak]

no problem send to DM would still love to see

[tidal matrix]

My car has a toyota made engine, originally meant for Toyota yariss, so it's less messed up

[main tangle]

Bad move tho, they should at least make pre-loads 1 day before

[dire dagger]

At got no rust cus it’s from down south

[tidal matrix]

Me too bro

[dire dagger]

Drove it home 600 miles

[untold salmon]

lucky bastard

I got mine welded a year ago and its rusting again already

[dense hatch]

I mean people would immediately break it

[indigo marsh]

Imagine having snow
Or rust

[tidal matrix]

If you think you're unlucky, try driving through sand storms and messing up your filters and windshield

[untold salmon]

fair point

[blissful peak]

lmao ikr, no issues at all with rust where i live

[main tangle]

they will break it anyways, might as well support your community at that point

[rocky swan]

Is there a reason why there is no pre-install on PC?

[hazy helm]

ask Mol1t

[untold salmon]

UK has high humidity and we put salt down in winter so mine just ROTS

[tidal matrix]

My windshield got eaten away but the sand grains, I can barely see anything when the sun reflects on it

[blissful peak]

yeah but u can put special film on the front windshield and front of car to help with it, we do it sometimes

[dense hatch]

by waiting an extra day people break it after release

[rocky swan]

@glossy blade Is there a reason why there is no pre-install on PC?

[north herald]

snow is not the problem, more is the salt on the street

[dense hatch]

it's also just one day

[blissful peak]

thats what i kinda meant cause with snow comes salt for roads

[north herald]

oh sorry

[main tangle]

yeah i know it's fair but at the same time unfair for most normal people

[blissful peak]

no worries 😉

[frigid anchor]

Game will have the most basic DRM for platforms like Steam. Steam DRM can be cracked with a simple open source software. If they preloaded the game now, it would be pirated and released in 5 hours from now.

[untold salmon]

they need the coconut jpeg from tf2

[tidal matrix]

I hope we can access the settings before starting the game, instead of throwing you right into the intro with recommended settings

I want to turn on DLSS and frame generation before starting the game

[stuck crystal]

Several people will download it at the same time, and I hope the steam server is solid 🥹

[untold salmon]

should be able to

[earnest bear]

1080p dlss performance -.-

[wet scaffold]

Hello, can you please tell me if you can also get the Earlybird items if you pre-order the physical version of the game, or do you only get these items if you pre-order the digital version via Steam, for example?

[tidal matrix]

that's what I'm aiming for

[hazy helm]

Preload downlaods the game in a encrypted state
its encryption is quantum-safe, its AES256

[tidal matrix]

You will get a steam code emaild to you as soon as the game getsr eleased, you should get all the steam early bird items

[hazy helm]

you can only decrypt the game by having the key^
and the key is only received when the game unlocks

[frail mulch]

My d d doo doklo

[ruby warren]

I like your funny words magic man

[hazy helm]

unless you access Steams or GSCs servers and get their build depots, you cant leak that, and if you do that, its not bc the game got a preload

[tacit prism]

10$ DLC for being able to preload the game? 😎

[hazy helm]

so its prob smth else

[blissful peak]

yes you get them for physical also mol1t answered that in #📜┃gsc-answers

[frail mulch]

Jan pswel drugi

[tidal matrix]

Sensational

[gleaming ruin]

It’s also individually generated based on your steam Id I believe

[earnest bear]

So what is the god damn hold up then?

[frail mulch]

Always high my beo pornusie

[hazy helm]

with the preloads? well bc they wont put preloads for PC

ask Mol1t for the reason

if it aint NDA he'll tell you

[chilly edge]

[tacit prism]

5$ DLC for NDA Leak

[rocky swan]

Thanks I can't wait for the release day, I hope it will be a good game, I bought it 1 year ago and I'm still waiting for it, it's the only game I'm waiting for the most this year.

[tidal matrix]

I'm pretty positibe it will be a good game

[frail mulch]

Apopleksja

Do you have a closet?

omg floppa

[frail mulch]

It is not good experience

[nimble cipher]

mantisex_ has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[frail mulch]

Ok

I mean when i play stalker it is normal experience but when i hear controllers when i am outside my house it is not good XD

When i hear those sounds i feel like i must beat someone in this shop

So you get Vr/Ar stalker for free

no preload on steam is sad af. fav animes last ep will be airing on nov 20th 16:30 (german time) and stalker 2 will release 17:00 german time. i couldve watched the last ep of the season of my fav anime, and instantly go into stlaker 2. but gsc has other plans 😦

[frail mulch]

XDDDDDD maybe i am too stupid to not say bad words sorry

I am too polish especially when u hear k'rwa everywhere

[empty gorge]

there isnt even an unlock time known on steam wym? it might aswell be midnight

[blissful peak]

they still dident announce the time can be even 1 am

[serene smelt]

.

[finite dragon]

GSC straight up being a stupid

BTW do not be angry at the community managers, they are awesome, they are just giving info from the higher ups

A 150gb game needs preloads why is GSC just doing a stupid

[untold salmon]

i mean it doesnt but okay

WTF, my internet speed is normally 15Mbit/s and if nobody uses it it's 20Mbit,
in case of 15Mbit i would be downloading it literaly 23 Hours and you saying it won't get predownload on PC?
When it got Predownload on Xbox Consoles?
My internet speed is at least that 20Mbit normally but imagine those people that has even less... 🫠😭

Because the king drove off the road there many many years ago

imo, the most stupid thing gsc is doing, is not releasing a COOP mode. like why?????. people are trying to get COOP running on a 23 year old engine, doesnt that seem like the community would enjoy that ? its gonna have a pvp mode, but ngl, if i wanted to play pvp, id play another game that focuses on pvp mainly...

[empty gorge]

u gotta understand the og stalkers where euro jank mostly played by eastern europe and some western european countries, sure its been 14 years but the majority of stalker fans are those same doomer molchat dome eastern european types and having a set known unlock time + preload is nice since not everyone there has the best internet, its just targeting your og playerbase. on the other hand there is a lot of people with fibre and no preload doesnt matter to them

[celest goblet]

It is not part of the creative vision. Mod makers have their own visions for the game. I respect both.

[hazy helm]

Coop is not condusive to the feel they want to bring, thus, its not coming

simple as that

[kindred cosmos]

Will probably be easier to mod into UE than xray

[pseudo rivet]

Definitely

[untold salmon]

I get that but shit happens, not everything will have a preload,

[summer badge]

so, instead of running around with your friend in the zone, and shitting your pants together. you run around with a ai int he zone, and get annoyed by the ai being dumb.... makes no sence ngl

[hazy helm]

completely depends on how good the SDK is
modding xray isnt easy btw

wnho lied to you

[somber hawk]

a multiplayer mode thats simmilar to BF1 operations would go crazy

[untold salmon]

stalker has always had good ai also, if you had a human friend you wouldnt be shitting your pants

[hollow wharf]

6 days to wait for this game feels like another 6 months. Me wanty NOW babi crying noises

[hazy helm]

well its a good thing you arent a developer

[empty gorge]

true but tbf a 160gb game absolutely does need one, how many 160gb do u know that arent bloat like cod hq?

[kindred cosmos]

Exactly

[untold salmon]

space marine 2

[twin thistle]

Might want to do some research into how complicated game design is before ranting about no co-op

[pseudo rivet]

They also decided to work with UE due to people already having experience in it. Makes making mods easier

[jaunty pebble]

wait

[north herald]

get out of here stalker

[summer badge]

i get this very often, but then again. if you expect some random modders to be able to do that, how is a whole game studio not gonna be able to ?

[empty gorge]

75 base + 60 for ultra texture pack?

[finite dragon]

EPIC GAMES STORE DOES NOT SUPPORT PRELOADS

This is why GSC has decided that there will be no preloads on all stores.

[jaunty pebble]

What if the reason why PC cant preload is becayse EGS doesnt allow

[north herald]

because its not theire vision

[untold salmon]

i forgot about the ultra texture pack thats on me i thought it was 150 base

[obtuse quartz]

It was never said they are NOT to be able to...its just they dont want it in it

[tacit prism]

nobody is using epic store anyway except for the weekly free games 😄

[alpine ibex]

Nobody in a right mind would choose epicgame over steam.this is probably one of the reasons

[jaunty pebble]

Trust me, people do

[twin thistle]

These are two separate things. They can make co-op in the game, but they choose not to because it's not in their quest design, creative vision, or scope of what they are specifically building.

[earnest bear]

I Whish you luck that you get your 20mbit atlest

[untold salmon]

because game studios have to pay their employees to work, they would also have to divert resources

[empty gorge]

a 100gb game not delayed across 2 years? sure no preload fine, a triple delayed game with an og fanbase of eastern european players with 160gb? 100% needs one thats what im saying

[latent nest]

I dont care about Epic games store some people will have it in 3 days downloaded some of them in 10minutes!
that's why we are mad

[hazy helm]

wats da sorce bille

I will believe it

I hate epic enuff to do so

[kindred cosmos]

We’ve waited 15 years. What does the download time matter at this point. Sure I’d rather download it ahead of time but still. We will be playing in a week

[pseudo rivet]

Samesies

[finite dragon]

Most games on EGS do not have preloads

[summer badge]

well, then i hope at least the modders will be able to work on the COOP with the recources of the Multiplayer pvp mode...

[hollow wharf]

Have you watched the documentary GSC made about how they made the game and what trials and tribulations they had to go thru to even think about finishing it????

[hazy helm]

ok, but who said that this was the raeson why S2 doesnt have a preload?

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/eh-meh-jim-jim-halpert-the-office-gif-25317293

[obtuse quartz]

The only people im sorry for are the ones with an extreme low connection

imo its a spit in the face of og players that just can not get high internet speeds or acces to ways of getting the game fast + the system reqs that have all ai upscaling bs added

Hey Guys i made a Duty Radio Playlist where do i put it ? it took me 10 minutes to create

[earnest bear]

Is Stalker even on Epic games?

[latent nest]

They need to make some variation of preload, it's impossible

[tacit prism]

they scrapped it for fortnite 🤮

[untold salmon]

yup, remember watching it on my phone in bed when i was in school still

Hell i wish they delay another six months just to fix performance on pc.

[obtuse quartz]

Never believe the GDI

[earnest bear]

The game works or it doesn't they won't fix anything big in 6 days

[hollow wharf]

Damn I didn't know that, that's fair then.

[twin thistle]

If there's a day 1/early post-launch patch it's a little extra time to push some final tweaks

[pseudo rivet]

We all stand unite under one vision... one purpose

[kindred cosmos]

Already pushed a 15 gb update to Xbox

[kindred cosmos]

100% will be

[twin thistle]

Yeah there will be an unknown number of things they're still finding even now with the launch version testing, gotta grind those last few kilometers for a smoother experience

[obtuse quartz]

Except in c&c 4...that was...just a no

[earnest bear]

Tweaks yea like fixing a spelling error in the subtitle's or maybe fix a T pose but performance wise nothing will change in 6 days

[kindred cosmos]

Quest bugs

[pseudo rivet]

C&C4 is good conceptually. Now, if it were to be made as a Renegade-like...

[jaunty pebble]

Yea

[pseudo rivet]

Soft-reboot the game too to not be in a golden age

[jaunty pebble]

Stuff like small polishes, Subtitle fixes, NPC got stuck on its pathfinding etc

[twin thistle]

Bug fixes don't have to be gigantic performance-altering things to still be worth the extra time. Quest flags, random rendering artifacts, etc. are all things that can at least be looked at right now. Would like people to just be f*ckin' patient for 6 more days.

[jaunty pebble]

These are the fixes, not the performance

[pseudo rivet]

Then you'd potentially have an interesting game

Very optimistic outlook lol hopefully

[lusty fable]

Devs are a joke, no preload on a 160gb game

data mining

[pseudo rivet]

Either way, you get to play the game

[earnest bear]

Epic Games apparently

[drowsy schooner]

Do we have any update on the resolutions for XSX when using performance mode?

[unkempt rivet]

Yeah it's not like it's a multiplayer game. Anyone racing to beat the game for themselves is ruining the experience.

[jaunty pebble]

Lets see... GOG having no DRM allowing direct copying and leaking the game as torrent, Epic Games nothing a proper Pre-load system....

[kindred cosmos]

Probably 1080? No clue

[celest goblet]

I would prefer for there to be preload but unfortunately this is not an unusual price to pay for no DRM

[jaunty pebble]

Not everything is steam.... grow up

[summer badge]

if your internet is bad, like some of my friends internet is, youll download with ~1MB per second. aka 44,4 hours for the game... so youll start around 2 days later then everyone else. thats the whole point of pre downloading, so that everyone can start at the same time...

[lusty fable]

That will happen day 1 anyway

[drowsy schooner]

[celest goblet]

But yes it is a single player title. Getting started day 1 does not matter as much. The game will remain the same

[jaunty pebble]

Yea that will happen on Day 1, but atleast they dont want their game getting leaked A SECOND TIME before release

[unkempt rivet]

What internet connection do they have? Hamster Wheel?

[earnest bear]

Depends on you gaming resolution

Xsx performance will take different resolution depending on if you play on 1080p or 4k

[twin thistle]

Best to just ignore the troll bait and move on, not worth yelling at a wall.

[lusty fable]

Everyone sucking GSCs ass here is why they probs won't reconsider

[summer badge]

welcome to germany, where some of my friends still have copper wire internett, and are not able to change it bc of the laws 😄

[pseudo rivet]

That's fair. To be fair, I don't believe GSC has actually confirmed or deny it yet, so who knows. Or maybe they did and I just forgot

[round axle]

data mining pre release could be detrimental for sales because people can spread mis info so easily

[mellow parrot]

BRUH no preload? Man this sucks

[alpine ibex]

Plus Game have no drm it gonna get pirate the second it hit released date

[kindred cosmos]

They are probably getting 100 questions why not pre load

[round axle]

they did is gsc answers

[celest goblet]

Idk it is a decision of tradeoffs they have to make and I decide I prefer no DRM and no pre release leaks

[unkempt rivet]

I'm asuming mobile hotspots aren't a thing or slow as well?

[pseudo rivet]

Ah RIP

[summer badge]

in #📜┃gsc-answers there is a post where it was confirmed...

till you find out how much mobile internet costs in germany....

[earnest bear]

My guess is 1080p in that case

[viscid verge]

Oh buddy I just pre ordered I can’t wait !

[wide owl]

I have 10mb/s download 😄 at least 3 hours for the game to download

1Gbps for me.

Gigabit isn’t uncommon in North America

[unkempt rivet]

gigabite internet is standard in many urban/rural areas of the states.

[celest goblet]

I have fiber fortunately

[summer badge]

actually true xD. but it would cost alot of money bc of fuel. so it would be easier to just buy mobile unlimited internet for 1 day and download it like that.... still sad that people with bad internet have to rely on this...

[viscid verge]

I thought 1GB/s is common now I’m in Canada and I have gigabyte internet

[somber wedge]

I’ve got a pretty standard internet plan and I get like 400mpbs

[opal knoll]

No preload on all PC stores, just to cater to epic is wild

Bring your PC to a library 😉

[mystic anchor]

American internet is one of the few things we have going for us

[twin thistle]

Considering the amount of service tickets, potential refunds, or lost presales that they could see out of not offering pre-loads to individual e-tailers, it makes sense. Offering preloads for one and not the other is a good way to ensure people only use a select number of services and GSC damages a partnership with a distributor.

[final verge]

huyd

[twin thistle]

And it's not even universal, not every state is in a great spot

[opal knoll]

It depends tbh. Most of the time I do pretty good honestly. Downloads are rough though. GTAV takes me roughly about 1 hour to 1 1/2, while BO6 took about 2-3 hours.

[unkempt rivet]

No-one is refunding because of a preload. lol. They're just drama dumping.

[hollow wharf]

Mf has the goofylon internet 😭

Got my physical pre-order cancelled because the supplier couldn't uphold their end. Wahoo! Love getting screwed over :DDD /s

[viscid verge]

That’s not terrible I can live with that

[final verge]

guys i have a question when will we get the physical items of the ultimate edition?

[wide owl]

i know nobody buying it on epic games why does it even exist XD

[opal knoll]

They have a contract with them for 3 months. Epic has been a dogshit launcher since release. They gatekeep new games if they can.

Due to the fact that they get almost no activity other than Fortnite

[mystic anchor]

Imagine last minute epic exclusivity like what happened with metro exodus

[viscid verge]

Am I the only one who dosent care about preloading 😭

[unkempt rivet]

No offering a pre-load isn't changing anything with sales. If someone refuses to pre-order because of a preload. wtf is the alternative? Buying it even later?

[wide owl]

i mean its not a really big deal but it would be nice

[unkempt rivet]

not logical.

[earnest bear]

Quote from Intel "The XeSS presets are: Performance, Balanced, Quality and Ultra Quality and its scaling factors are: 2x, 1.7x, 1.5x, 1.3x respectively.

If you set your game resolution to 1920x1080 and set XeSS to Performance, the base resolution used to render the frames will be 960x540 (1920/2 x 1080/2)."

So yes 4k will mean base res of 1080p

[kindred cosmos]

Exactly

[nimble cipher]

shrimpy4881 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[twin thistle]

I suggested offering preloads on one service but not the other will push traffic to another service. Making it a universal policy for all distributors just simplifies the debate.

[wide owl]

I think the traffic is already 90% on Steam

[blissful peak]

in the end it doesnt really change anything except maybe a few hours (for some people more) later to game

[unkempt rivet]

Anyone who decides to purchase from Epic and not steam so they can play it hours sooner, is a madlad.

[wide owl]

but if its good for the devs i understand why they sell it on epic

[opal knoll]

Alternatively, they are scared because the game has no DRM. The problem with that is that it does not make any sense, cyberpunk 2077 allowed preloads and it sold exceptionally well

[twin thistle]

Well none of them are offering preloads so no service has an advantage (beyond just the natural thing of Steam being better haha)

[proven cargo]

that just made me really not want to buy the game, after I got shafted with the physical edition.

[drowsy schooner]

I don't get it, is the game that poorly optimized or is it because of the size of the game?

[analog pine]

[jaunty pebble]

It also got leaked 10 days before release

[hollow wharf]

Did they give u ur money back at least

[crimson remnant]

No preload is a massive L

[jaunty pebble]

And we all remember how Cyberpunk 2077 was on release

[unkempt rivet]

I was gonna buy it on GOG bnecause I buy everything singleplayer via GOG. It only makes since to have a digital copy. But once they announced Multiplayer, I canceled.

[wide owl]

I wouldnt buy a game in epic games exclusive, but luckily this one isnt

[proven cargo]

the money was never taken in the first place. I'm just pissed off at never being able to get a dogtag, patches, or backpack

[opal knoll]

If you can provide a link to prove this I would appreciate it. Looking online, again, shows only physical copies being sent out and due to the fault of companies like Best Buy & Target, GameStop even.
This is also how everyone knew it was running like dog water on console. I can remember all of my friends coming over and setting our PC’s up for midnight launch and that’s when we knew it was bad on PC. This had nothing to do with the game being preloaded, it wasn’t breached.

[lusty fable]

Nope, rally with me

[vast cloak]

Oh yup refunding

Nooo you need to go to thier office, bring your own hard disk copy straight from thier pc office

i dont get refunding because no preload, its not like the price is gonna go down after release?

[twin thistle]

Trolls out in force this morning for some reason lmao. Don't take the bait.

[blissful peak]

guys preload does not effect the game in anyway, i dont get the negative comments for it. like yes it sucks but it doesnt change any aspect of the game itself just the time at which you will be able to play it.

[wide owl]

Everyone should decide on their own if they preorder. And in the end if a game is bad its your fault for preordering.

[vast cloak]

I’ll just play it for free when it gets cracked no drm 😂😂😂

[celest goblet]

If someone decides it is not worth it to them without a preload that is fine and their business

Fastest banhammer this side of the zone

[untold salmon]

the more you know

[crimson remnant]

that was actual lightspeed

[fluid abyss]

Arrr

[twin thistle]

Shame being an annoying arsehole isn't a violation of ToS

Though I'd have already been banned, friendly fire I guess

[fluid abyss]

I gotta get myself into the ISS, need their crazy fast speeds

[dire dagger]

I mean you cans be butt hurt and cry about pre load and refuse to play the game but

Honestly that’s just the most brain dead shit I’ve ever heard

[celest goblet]

It's also just extraordinarily bad form to brag about pirating a game in the developers own discord

[worthy lagoon]

I won't even be able to play the game immediately after release either way

because i'll be busy the whole day

[twin thistle]

the only piracy I support is the one that gets you booty

[blissful peak]

then 80% of discord would be banned for life

[twin thistle]

I don't know that this is a bad thing

[dire dagger]

Like fuck bro you gotta be one of the most inpatient mfs of all time do you start yelling at people waiting for lunch cus the line doesn’t move fast enough too like Jesus Christ

[crimson remnant]

dude that guys gotta be absolutely malding rn lmao

[celest goblet]

I'll be at work when the game releases. What an injustice

[dire dagger]

Download it while your at work

[untold salmon]

dude had such a leap in logic lol

[kindred cosmos]

Who’s heading directly to NPP as soon as the get out of prologue

[dire dagger]

Play when you get home

[twin thistle]

you have an actual reason to be annoyed by no preloads and you aren't sitting here taking a massive dump on the game and promoting piracy lol.

[blissful peak]

probably the same people who honk at u the MOMENT the traffic light turns green

[untold salmon]

like he was paying 60 bucks just for a preload in his mind?

[lusty fable]

Preload now

[celest goblet]

Tempted to try tbh

[crimson remnant]

"no preload? guess i'll pirate it then" bro you gotta wait til release either way

[dire dagger]

I flip those people off

[untold salmon]

Oh absolutely

[boreal crescent]

Braindead

[dire dagger]

Those mates can fuck them selves

[crimson remnant]

dont drive in NY then

[untold salmon]

the thing with (the forbidden word) is that most of them limit you to really slow download speeds anyway lmao

[celest goblet]

Though first time playing I will probably just follow the story and save that for second time

[blissful peak]

or if there is no one else behind them just sit and wait until it turns yellow and then drive off

[kindred cosmos]

That an I always hit the edge of maps and circle the whole thing

[crimson remnant]

dude you can say piracy lol just don't encourage it

[dire dagger]

I mean pirating the game won’t make it download faster

[fluid abyss]

There should be an edge anomaly 😩 that tries to pull players away from the edges of the map

[dire dagger]

That will actually make it download probably 5x slower

[worthy lagoon]

same

[worthy osprey]

It takes a day to download a pirated copy of a game if I can remember.

[untold salmon]

i know but it was funnier in my mind to say the forbidden word

[kindred cosmos]

I’m wondering what the edge will be, barbed fire and cliffs like previous games or high radiation

[untold salmon]

yeah now imagine 160gbs

[twin thistle]

the piracy you should encourage is the one where you grab a few mates, hijack a cargo ship, and all get rich off of selling crates of random products.

[fluid abyss]

Should be a freedom sniper that domes you and apologizes profusely if you’re friendly with freedom

[untold salmon]

presumably a wall

[worthy osprey]

That would take a week.

[untold salmon]

literally

[kindred cosmos]

Around the entire map?

[worthy lagoon]

Stop talking about piracy

[dire dagger]

No more piracy

[untold salmon]

probably around the southern side at least

[unkempt rivet]

Who here is going to get super lit and immerse themselves in The Zone on the 20th?

[verbal slate]

No preload on pc 😦

[boreal crescent]

Use mobile 5g if ur internett is this slow maybe?

[dire dagger]

Or everyone gets banned

[crimson remnant]

in the intro we've seen there actually is a wall blocking off the zone, idk if it surrounds the whole thing tho

[fluid abyss]

Yaargh, we be sailing the seven seas! Aye matey open this cargo container! Wait, it’s full of stalker 2 physical preorders? Nooooooooo!!!

[untold salmon]

we're talking about downloads that are throttled by the server not wifi speed

[boreal crescent]

Oh

[fluid abyss]

I can’t wait for my physical edition to arrive

[untold salmon]

epic games also, has slower download compared to steam and xbox app

[unkempt rivet]

same

[twin thistle]

These landlubbers have waited years for these to arrive, ye cannot take a portion ah these without offendin' Neptune

[crimson remnant]

EGS is also just a d-tier launcher

[unkempt rivet]

Ill probably have the game beat 3 times over already by the time it gets here tho. lol

[solar minnow]

A-LIFE trailer when?

[crimson remnant]

the physical edition is cool but i just absolutely could not justify the extra $200+ for a plastic lamp

[fluid abyss]

Bro no way this box is gonna make it here from Austria in 4 days

[raven saddle]

Hey i have a question is really Stalker 2 banned in russia?

[earnest bear]

How doas pir*cy help with preloading it just takes way longer to get it

[fluid abyss]

It’s for bragging rights

[pine girder]

No, we can buy this game

[unkempt rivet]

I can. SLAVA UKRAINI!

[hollow wharf]

Ye

[raven saddle]

im from poland i watch youtube video about that

5years jail for stalker2? no way xD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ch1_Y9yO4DU

[pine girder]

I from Russia, and i know it exactly

[crimson remnant]

you can buy the game in russia but you pay in jail time instead of rubles

speaking of money, do we still use rubles in stalker 2 or was the currency among the rebranding changes?

[unkempt rivet]

What if a russian buys the game in the states?

[hollow wharf]

Getting jail time over a game is very Russian of them

[pine girder]

My friends, who buy this game, don't arrested :\

[fluid abyss]

I heard a theory once that the currency used in the zone is old rubles, meaning limited currency exchange within the zone (minimal external financial interference)

[solar minnow]

we use coupons

[hollow wharf]

You may never return to the motherland

[pine girder]

Sorry, my English probably makes your laught. I quite bad know English

[twin thistle]

Nah your English is fine

[lusty fable]

Preload or no buy

[unkempt rivet]

Your english is better than me attempting litierally any other language besides english.

[hollow wharf]

It's okay, it's understandable

[worthy lagoon]

@slate halo hottest and softest

[austere crypt]

Bruh, you know better English than most of us known Russian (zero)

[unkempt rivet]

He knows english better than most americans. Lets be honest.

[hollow wharf]

I speak the kings English AND ebonics, get on my level

[idle matrix]

Truth

[unkempt rivet]

I know english, and bad english.

[hollow wharf]

Lmfao that's awful

[crimson remnant]

spoken truly like a man who likes to have his fun in bloodsucker lairs

[pine girder]

Yes, it don't banned in Russia

[twin thistle]

hear me out-

[fluid abyss]

Blood ain’t the only thing getting sucked in that lair

[hollow wharf]

BloodSUCC

[pine girder]

Oh, guys, i want buy game, but can i preload game if i buy it now in steam? (I don't like XBOX)

[fluid abyss]

NO PRELOAD FOR PC

[lethal orchid]

Fye my parallel fellow in kinship

[dire dagger]

Nope no preloading on pc

[unkempt rivet]

Man I would love to be in the same room as a kid who's never heard of stalker, sees stalker 2 on gamepass, gives it a whirl having no idea, and comes across their first bloodsucker at night. I think I could die happy.

[fluid abyss]

Literally never heard of this

[crimson remnant]

can we just get an @ and a pin so people stop asking

[unkempt rivet]

same. lol

[hollow wharf]

Ong yn

[austere crypt]

Same

[dire dagger]

Wouldn’t help

People are stupid

I pinned it already

[pine girder]

:(, it's very sadly... 130GB for my 100mbit/sec is very hardly 😦

[dire dagger]

Oh well

[fluid abyss]

I see people misspell common words, use the wrong “your”, “to”, “their” etc. though

[dire dagger]

Download it and play it tomorrow

[unkempt rivet]

Damn that shade was straight at you @hollow arrow lol

[twin thistle]

the further south you go the more you see it lol

[austere crypt]

Your wrong

[worthy lagoon]

it's less than 130GB

Download is compressed

[fluid abyss]

My wrong wuh

[unkempt rivet]

their never going to get it right.

[pine girder]

How much exactly? Who knows?

[alpine ibex]

It 2 to 3 hour max kiddo.. go have a walk with your dog or something

[marsh pond]

I've noticed that two. 😂

[kindred cosmos]

First I’ve heard of that

[austere crypt]

I think I had a stroke reading that LOL

[fluid abyss]

I hate people who pronounce picture as “pitcher”

[pine girder]

Haha, i hope

[unkempt rivet]

lol

[worthy lagoon]

the download size is compressed just like any other steam game

[twin thistle]

now that I've heard around me in MD

[unkempt rivet]

i hate people who hate people

[fluid abyss]

MinneDota?

[kindred cosmos]

Crazy clear sky is like 7gb

[idle matrix]

Hear it a lot here in Minnesota

[fluid abyss]

I hate you too babe

[twin thistle]

[fluid abyss]

Oh yeah, MarylanD

[severe turtle]

I’m guessing Stalker 2 won’t have NG+?

[dire dagger]

Dunno maybe it does

[crimson remnant]

i betcha one of the first mods for stalker 2 is just gonna be a complete retexture of the game so that the potato gamers can get food frames. drop everything down to 1k lol

[twin thistle]

The thing I always struggle with is people doing the aluminum as "allimoonyum" or whatever, that throws me for a loop

[nimble cipher]

yaboikraken has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[earnest bear]

Ng?

[unkempt rivet]

NG+ is just playing it again.

[boreal crescent]

Why do you lie?

[austere crypt]

I pronounce it nuhckleer

[nimble cipher]

[pine girder]

Guys, how much price in USA on stalker?

[dire dagger]

I don’t I say maybe cus idk

[austere crypt]

As God intended

[proper rock]

[unkempt rivet]

USA is about $122T, On stalker though? no idea.

[ruby warren]

No leveling up or anything like that so new game plus is kinda pointless

[fluid abyss]

Aluminium, the euro way of spelling and pronouncing aluminum

[pine girder]

$122!?

[alpine ibex]

I wonder how many warnings do we get until ban?

[dire dagger]

Infinite

[severe turtle]

new game plus

[unkempt rivet]

It was a joke based on your grammar.

[jovial siren]

bros, is there hope for me?

Processor AMD Ryzen 7 6800H
Installed RAM 32.0 GB
Graphics 3070ti

[fluid abyss]

Yes

[crimson remnant]

$60 for standard, like 90 for deluxe and 110 for ultimate

[austere crypt]

Try it and find out

[pine girder]

Wow... Then Russia, not so bad (but i have Kazakhstan region). ~45$

is there hope for me ryzen 5 1600x nvidia gtx 1070 32gb of ram

[austere crypt]

First time?

[kindred cosmos]

Depends resolution and settings

[unkempt rivet]

Given that it's UE5, It's either going to be incredibly smooth, or a nightmare.

[brisk haven]

Ghey baby server

[crimson remnant]

this is the discord for an m rated game, think twice before saying the fvck word on this christian server

[earnest bear]

Yea 1080p low 30fps

poo poo cum cum

[twin thistle]

Wolf better at censorship than managing the Faction Wars, what a great bot

[hollow wharf]

HI FAUST NICE TO SEE YOU ❤️

[alpine ibex]

Okay it infinity 😆 🤣

[nocturne dagger]

you shut up we love wolf idrk what he does but he just sits there and listens 🙂

[pine girder]

It's very kindly, it isn't? Game 18+, why official server warmed us for bad words? :\

[nimble cipher]

decimusdecius has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[austere crypt]

Ayy what's up

[unkempt rivet]

How TF you getting GAMMA maxed out at 200FPS with those specs?

[jovial siren]

i'm nervous lol

[crimson remnant]

your 1070 is the bottleneck here

[fluid abyss]

Trying to remain professional, somewhat. It used to be worse

[brisk haven]

Dont make me grape you

[hollow wharf]

Uphill battle against trolls, nothing new bb

[nocturne dagger]

magic i geuss lmao

[twin thistle]

I WILL NOT, WOLF HAD BETTER MAKE ME

[crimson remnant]

gamma graphical load is nothing compared to a ue5 game

[worthy lagoon]

Stop that

[nocturne dagger]

fair

[pine girder]

Oh, English servers... We in Russia can't live without Russians bad words, haha

[unkempt rivet]

I have a 3080 ryzen 5600 and I'm not even maxxed out and get like 80

[earnest bear]

Yea wait atlest 10 years to buy a pc that can get 200 in stalker 2 with the current requirements

85fps is the highest I have seen so far without framegen

[austere crypt]

Lmfao the never ending battle

[hollow wharf]

Bring it slut you couldn't handle this ass if I gave you a guide.

[twin thistle]

🗿

[nocturne dagger]

lmao prebuilt?

[fluid abyss]

🗿

[crimson remnant]

also most of gamma's fidelity is software stuff through reshade. not a hardware bottleneck all that much

[unkempt rivet]

no

[severe turtle]

i hope this game will have good optimization for PC

[fluid abyss]

I hope so too

[nocturne dagger]

i got no clue what ur issue is then

[worthy lagoon]

I said stop

[unkempt rivet]

It goes to 165 when indoors or in buildings, but traversing outside it drops

[pine girder]

I hope R5 5600 + 4060, can make 1080p 60fps on ultra settings with dlss, it sadly, that we use dlss for modern games, but what we can do...

[twin thistle]

what level of foliage are you using

[unkempt rivet]

That's a great question.

[twin thistle]

I always find the foliage utterly shreds my framerate

[unkempt rivet]

Bout to be 0. lol

[alpine ibex]

The game?

[crimson remnant]

Here's the thing, the numbers they put up for specs are never accurate. you got a 50/50 of it being a lot better or a lot worse than expected, we'll just have to find out

[twin thistle]

this is one frenchass looking word

[sacred igloo]

But what age is the foil?

[crimson remnant]

given that it's ue5... id want to say worse. but its a custom build of the engine made to run well on consoles, so maybe better. who knows

[severe turtle]

I only have 16GB of ram 😭😭😭 it’s so over for me
