[hushed willow]

I’m in bed rn, what’s the download size?

[spare cairn]

always is im sure

[wanton kettle]

The output from the server is slower than your connection

[civic perch]

dead city

[ebon maple]

I've got a 4080super. I should be fine at 1440P I would think.

[woeful axle]

10 minutes until my download is finished see you in the zone stalkers

[weary sonnet]

U know u don't have to run the game at max settings 4k native right?

[latent trout]

144 gb

[lethal solar]

2 hours left 😦

[ionic wasp]

die Gamestar hat das spiel ja leider total verrissen :(

[torpid yacht]

160gb with 200gb of space needed

[split coyote]

people need to stop gaming in 4k. the difference in 1440p and 4k is neglible to the eye but a massive difference in perfformance

[torn schooner]

15 hours left woohoo

[copper haven]

Drewskii showed the game running 50-60 fps with a GTX1080 at 1080p res. I think we will be fine.

[hollow heath]

Five minutes remaining on download

[sturdy nymph]

my download stuck on 24%

[wicked lichen]

dat si cigo a koukat na shit abyss zonu;) neumum psat poradne cesky omlouvam se

[tepid gust]

Not gonna play with RT if i am already hitting 70FPS

[olive bough]

As someone with a 4090 I WILL run the game at 4k max settings tyvm

[halcyon belfry]

i want to see this fat guy named sidorovich in his bunker

[vivid sphinx]

Meanwhile I’m happy with 1080.

[faint swift]

This makes sense, but here it still marks with MB/s.

[bright axle]

problemm is modern games lack AA

[cunning vigil]

15mins left

[latent seal]

A-life severely downgraded according to drewski, no wonder they took it out of the steam page

[dull kindle]

the who donwload it on steam tell uz if is tehe some next donwload patch xD

[ocean hornet]

i play on a LG C2 42inch and sit right infront of it, im gonna play in 4k. should be fine with a 4090

[visual warren]

Hey if the game is hella janky someone come here and report back

[floral osprey]

[graceful lake]

yeah I'm still rocking 1080p still looks good to me

[torpid bay]

CPU cooking at healthy 85c during install. Anycase download done, install done i am outta here to play

[native nebula]

[hushed willow]

Actually???? The largest game I have installed is only like 90. I still haven’t beat clear sky and Pripyat so I’m not in a rush

[viral plume]

[jade coral]

[ionic root]

154.6GO

[tepid river]

Depends on the monitor size

[normal badge]

It fine mate. and wasnt that bad XD

[worthy lark]

Under 10 MB/s on xbox app the servers are cooked lmaooo

[barren violet]

Okay yeah in the U.S. at least on my client its marked Mbps, so I see youre confusion :)

[jaunty sluice]

People who are playing it didn't report that it is.

[old plinth]

Stuck at work but atleast it is downloading thanks to my wife clicking download 💪🏻😎

[weary sonnet]

You're free to do so, What I meant is people without a 4090 dont have to run the game at 4k max settings native

[latent trout]

yeah im fr

[ebon maple]

RDR2 was pretty large as well. This size isn't really unheard of.

[split coyote]

me too... i have a 4070 and play in 1080p, i expect it to be pretty smooth especially with DLSS and frame gen

[marsh geyser]

Does anyone know if the deluxe/ultimate guns are just skins and you can get the gun with the standard?

[opal hemlock]

hey bitches. im at 83GB

[wanton kettle]

No Internet on the zone we will lose contact

Bros I can’t concentrate on work at all rn I’m dying

[tepid river]

Does stalker 2 look blurry at 1080p?

[brazen steppe]

4gb in and 9 hours to go

[vivid sphinx]

I’m concerned that the CPU on my laptop may not be able to handle it. I’m guaranteed it running on medium on my home computer, but I think I can eek some high settings by turning off stuff like ray tracing.

[wide owl]

compiling shaders taking soooo long

[native nebula]

Wassup fellow gamer im at 128gb

[wet mauve]

SIX AND A HALF HOURS REMAINING BEFORE PLAY, F MY FING LIFE

[coarse ridge]

[barren violet]

3090 on 1440p great quality and smooth frames, wouldnt pass it up for the world

[torpid bay]

Poor cpu or SSD is choking and cant handle download and install same time

[serene niche]

you have mbps, megabits per second which is megabytes divided by 8

[bright axle]

oh no steam died at 70gb

[ebon maple]

Same though. 3D PDA was clutch, and I ended up getting really spoiled with it. Hopefully Modders can get it going in this one as well.

[raven slate]

White man has been here

How can you tell?

Gun inspect thumbnail “this game is FREE and is going to be the NEXT BEST feature to the industry!”

[tired zealot]

I wish steam had a Seeding torrent type option where people can like help me download it lol

[wheat isle]

Me waiting 9 hours with 5 MB/s internet just to play in less than 30 fps

[iron bramble]

Damn slowed down to only 25 MB/s 😦

[worthy lark]

bro is not gaming

[summer mauve]

Yes

[sacred igloo]

Damn.. makes my 8+ look a whole lot better

[jade coral]

hmm the button is stilll greyed out but the title is poping on the cloud section

[native nebula]

Bro about to play when everyone finishes 📣

[brazen steppe]

there was cigarettes age warnings on steam

[stark sapphire]

mol1t said there's gonna be announcement. at some point. could be not even today. made me a bit sad tbh. I thought I'm gonna be first playing while everyone is downloading lol. Looks like that's not the case

[upper venture]

same

[floral osprey]

Stalker 2 BABYYYYYY

[silk mantle]

Same, for some reason my download speed is very slow RN

[latent seal]

operator drewski, 2M subscribers on youtube, milsim game youtuber, played a lot of the original stalker games, and one the big reasons why stalker gamma became so popular
timestamp of his review on youtube where he talks about the current state of A-life compared to the original trilogy: https://youtu.be/D-npjztukr0?t=604

[charred nymph]

I forgot the unpacking 😭

[hallow stone]

How's the game running on the Series S?

[lapis fable]

ah alright thanks

[kind copper]

welcome to the limit
standing on the razor's edge, don't look down just keep your head and you'll be finished

[vivid sphinx]

Happy hunting, Stalker. May your artifacts be rare, guns never jam, armor protect you, and Sidorovich not scam you as much.

[marsh geyser]

Does anyone know if this will go on sale for steam black friday?

[faint swift]

I hope my 4070 can run this thing in 4k with DLSS

[celest oracle]

1500 ingameű

[split coyote]

for people with slow download speeds... this may help...

1. open windows powershell in administrator mode...
   First: netsh int tcp set global autotuning=disabled
   Second: netsh int tcp set global autotuning=normal
   after that, you may need to restart steam... but this may help

[knotty python]

steam dying ☹️

[south pebble]

2 hrs and 30 mins

[worthy lark]

OI OI SPOILERS

[wicked lichen]

thanks man I stand corrected

[vital granite]

Damn. I got an instant BSOD launching the game, and now "804" files in the game installation directory are "invalid". I have to download it all again. HOORAY!

[finite dragon]

Steam taxing my system more rn than stalker 2 is going to

[tender nest]

After what the dev team has been through? No

[pearl jacinth]

penalizing those who post spoilers? giga based.

[latent seal]

you mean i spoiled that A-life is severely downgraded compared to the original? lol

[burnt oracle]

lolololololololololololololololol

[severe turtle]

PC XBOX APP download is so slow man

[tribal hazel]

OMG IM PLAYING ITTT

[ornate rampart]

anyone else who got the ultimate physical today? how many military patches did you get? 4? (loners, duty, freedom, monolith)

[vivid sphinx]

Is it as good as SoC a-life, though?

[brittle grotto]

sounds like a bad ssd

[silver chasm]

Can't turn off depth of field wtf

[celest oracle]

16%

[wheat isle]

Mine is always this slow 😭

[wild burrow]

8 hours downloading

[bright axle]

yeah I gave up on gamepass constantly getting 1mb/s downloads annd nonsense

[valid pagoda]

guess that overclock on the CPU pushed it to its limit and became unstable

[wicked lichen]

devs died in war to develop this game, stop being a cheapskate and pay a laughable 60€ like you would for an a** Ea game etc

[viscid oyster]

F*k u

[worthy lark]

Yeah the servers are cooked

[crimson remnant]

Ok but can we agree that the launch trailer was so fkn good

[drifting radish]

I’ve done it boys. Check #📸┃screenshots_and_videos if you want to see the first person to die after release

[torpid bay]

ME TOO

[rare carbon]

hey, anyone able to use HDR on the pc version? doesn't seem to work for me :/

[vivid sphinx]

Out of curiosity, for anyone who’s downloaded the game, can you check through the files for any mod tools? Level editors, item editors, stuff like that?

[sour pine]

how to remove the dead zone drift from the controller? it only happens with this game

[marsh geyser]

Sorry, didn't have that context

[vital granite]

Nope. 5800x stock clock 😐

[split coyote]

75 unskippable splash screens lol

[tropic oasis]

What key to lean?

[native nebula]

Ladies and gentlemen it is with great pleassure to announce that I'm in. See you in the zone

[rapid river]

WE ARE SO BACK BOYS, FROM 3MBPS TO 200MBPS LETS GOOO

[buoyant iris]

2% downloaded I'm coping😭

[brisk spade]

Whatever this first thing is that tries to kill you is real annoying

[tender nest]

YES IM IN‼️WISH ME LUCK STALKERS‼️

[copper haven]

Not everyone lives in countries where we do and a 60$ game can actually be a significant portion of their monthly income.

[raw warren]

Is there an option for mods yet?

[weary sonnet]

I get you, but its a bit unfair to expect everyone to actually have 60$ for a video game

[bronze karma]

It’ll be done at 12pm oof

[celest oracle]

so no day 1 patch?

[latent seal]

apparently enemies only spawn within a ~100-150m radius, and they despawn if you go beyond that from them. so it's worse than the trilogy. i'm not talking about AI behaviour quality. that is a separate issue. i'm talking about things happening when you're not around or closeby

[worn oar]

that's why I'm going to be extra strict when it comes to spoilers. I will personally torture any spoiler poster.

[wicked lichen]

studio had to move everithing to a whole different country and some of them died in war so yeah I think they earned this

[digital fern]

OH YEAHHHH

[vivid sphinx]

Ah, okay.

Hey peasants, im at 115GB

[tropic oasis]

Anyone know what key to lean

[native nebula]

Ill let you know in a bit. Compiling shaders rn

[dull hazel]

same here, have fun fellow stalker

[ivory sinew]

Right here brother! A very rough 8-9 hours left for me

[brisk spade]

How are you supposed to kill the first thing that attacks you??????

[velvet mulch]

Game not available via cloud gaming?

[south pebble]

Play around with the region a little bit it can improve download speed

[wicked lichen]

fair enough mate I dont argue with this @weary sonnet

[copper haven]

It'll take you 8 hours to download the game and another 3 to compile shaders. 😈

[vivid sphinx]

Okay, thanks for that info! I’ll keep an eye out.

[ocean hornet]

30 fps on 4090 👍

[spiral ledge]

Lets go, i m starting the game rn

[latent seal]

yeah doesn't really matter, but he backs up his claims on the current state of "A-life" , that's what matters

[plain hemlock]

look very fallout for the graphism, rip xray engine

[lyric tulip]

just enable frame generation and your fps might be alright

[silver chasm]

sounds like slow internet is the issue my guy

I have snow where I am this is perfect vibe lol

there are microstutters though

[wanton kettle]

Steam went from 100 to 10mb/s so I switched from Dallas server to Denver and I'm back to 66 at least

[silk mantle]

2007: Will it run Crysis? 2015: Will it run The Witcher 3? 2022: Will it run Cyberpunk 2077? 2024: Will it run STALKER 2?

[blissful bolt]

yo wtf bro

[worn oar]

[noble heath]

70mbit is literally below the regulation minimum for broadband speed in the USA

[velvet mulch]

Any idea when it's gonna be added to cloud gaming?

[vernal sky]

What rating will stalker 2 have?

[rigid dragon]

the english voice actors are very goofy ngl, lol.

[dull hazel]

finished !!!! have fun everyone and enjoy the zone !!!! ❤️ love gsc and everyone else involved and my internet provider as well 😄 kisses and love ❤️

[stark sapphire]

then get a job instead of playing the game? wtf is that. also it's not $60 for everyone, it has regional pricing

[viral plume]

Sure. Also seems like something that can be fixed, and also not the only reason I enjoyed the previous games.

[mild marsh]

7/10 prolly

[ebon maple]

You're playing with English VAs, there's your problem. Lmao

[limpid oracle]

Why is it taking so long to install?

[copper haven]

DSL still exists in some regions.

[royal nest]

is stalker 2 on pc gamepass or just ultimate?

[ivory sinew]

Me at 40-50mbit per second

[finite dragon]

DLC:
Deluxe Content
Pre-order Bonus
Season Pass
Ultimate Content

[hollow mulch]

Enjoy everyone!

[signal vapor]

because i said so

[viscid blade]

Menu looks great
https://imgur.com/a/ENdOHpd

[tepid river]

Does the game force TAA?

[wicked lichen]

ngl I was hoping for this aswell so I could just launch at 17:00

[ocean hornet]

in the current bug-infested, abysmal performance state, its likely gonna get 5s

[polar crystal]

iirc it doesn't come with DRM

[uncut bison]

gay react a random here

[burnt oracle]

compiling shaders yesssssssssssssss

[noble heath]

I know, of course, I am just pointing out that that is very slow internet speed

[merry forge]

My shaders are finished, Gamma is here!?!?!

[old bloom]

a 25 minute download . wow ..

[hot bridge]

performance is terrbile i refund instant

[swift garden]

should i play english or ukrainian with subs

[mild marsh]

I will wait a week to play it anyway 😅

[split coyote]

To launch the game 24 minutes after the release ain't bad

[mortal kindle]

proud of the team for releasing this ❤️
absolutely surreal to see it after all this time. I randomly picked up SoC off an EB Games shelf some 15 years ago

[peak pecan]

I for one am a fan of goofy english voice actors. I want to hear minnesotan accents in the zone.

[vernal sky]

specs lol?

[copper haven]

username checks out

[celest solstice]

Game running smooth as silk on EPIC.

[sullen crane]

ukr with subs

[valid pagoda]

specs?

[whole beacon]

man my shader compilation taking forever. BE WARNED HUGE SHADER COMPILATION

[ocean hornet]

it truly is horrible lol even on what I would say a top of the line setup that i run.

[wicked lichen]

3h for me stop crying

[native nebula]

So I don't see nothing about a mod section yet in the main menu. Prolly will be added along the line if anyones intrested

[winged crag]

So does yours tbf

[latent seal]

maybe, i assume they did this because they couldn't afford to expand it for performance reasons. so remains to be seen if they'll ever expand it. let's see if they ever acknowledge it as an issue, or if it's something to be solved with mods

[brisk spade]

lol so I reloaded to an earlier save, this time I didn’t get attacked by anything lmfao.

[uncut bison]

ABORT PLAN

[silk mantle]

Ukrainian voices for sure, +20 to atmosphere and +25 to immersion

[iron bramble]

Laughs in NVME

[tepid river]

Dont blame you lol. Unreal engine 5

[blissful bolt]

UNPACKING?? LMAOO im cooked chat im coooked already

[spare cairn]

Just did a stress test on my pc while installing Stalker 2, i learned i can run Warthunder on Maximum graphics with Ultra ray tracing and HDR at a high of 180 and a low of 90 fps

[rocky trellis]

How is this so slow? Below 100kbsg

[mild marsh]

I am playing it on Gamepass cuz its "free" and then next year I am buying it on Steam after they workout all the bugs and stuff

[finite shadow]

A BIT OF S SPOILER FOR THOSE WHO HAVENT STARTED THE GAME YET, BUT MY FAVORITE THING SO FAR IS "Compiling shaders, please wait..."

[light quiver]

I will be able to play in 22 hours

[copper haven]

Oh yea? How so? o.O

[jovial marlin]

after that you need to compile shaders xD

[vital granite]

I hope not. The SMART data says the SSD is fine for what its worth. I clicked the launch button the second it finished downloading, so for now I'll assume NTFS hadn't finished syncing everything to the drive at the time of the crash.

[wicked lichen]

can I play with voices in UA and subtitles in ENG?

[ocean hornet]

you will be more cooked once you actually launch the game lol. Cant wait for the crying to start

[whole beacon]

Series S was choppy and dark, and weird aiming with controller. Not gonna bother . Also i have nvme @iron bramble

[dim sequoia]

stalker 2 devs are ukraines right?

[hot bridge]

@vernal sky i7 14700k 4070 ti super

[jaunty sluice]

Yes.

[weary sonnet]

It starts at 35$ at the cheapest price, including regional pricing, and not everyone lives in a place that allows them to "simply" get a job

[winged crag]

I guess the same why mine is accurate lmfaoo

[vernal sky]

Oh damn

[stoic linden]

how long do we have to wait for geforce now?

[viral plume]

AI in games is notoriously hard to do well, so might be something to that. Hope for the best, but reckon I will not worry too much if it never is the same as before.

[latent seal]

motion capture in cutscenes was made only for english voices, so if you do ukrainian voice, they will not match. see if that bothers you or not

[spare cairn]

i started my game 20 minutes ago and im almost done downloading it

[old bloom]

F.O - 😄

[brittle eagle]

and its also not on Xbox Cloud yet

[vestal sky]

In a decade is a bit more accurate

[frigid anchor]

People, be thankful shader compilation is there. That means the game will be the least stuttery that is humanly possible on the trash fire UE5 is

[raw warren]

77% busting soon

[signal vapor]

27% 😭

[slate zephyr]

Release day bandwidth innit. I have switched to Austria server and am getting double the speed that my local UK steam servers are giving.

[valid pagoda]

yea i cant take any hateful criticism seriously, many people just dont have an up to date PC this is a 2024 game release so i get there will be trash talk unfortunately

[whole tartan]

Is the shaders taking a long time to someone goo ?

[ivory sinew]

[knotty python]

[sonic solar]

can i see if the day1 patch is installed?

[blissful bolt]

this game is gonna fug me up biggly im such a casual but i love immersive experiences like this appears to be. Im gonna uninstall lmaoooooooo

[random sentinel]

Sh*t tubers crapping over the game's minor bugs. Like bruh go play the trilogy before going on a complain rant.

[light quiver]

still at 0%

[wanton kettle]

If your steam download is slower than your Internet try switching servers in the DL settings

[burnt oracle]

found the russian plant

[swift garden]

that would bother me

[wicked lichen]

fo? huh?

[whole beacon]

SERIES S NIGHTMARE

[copper haven]

Gonna have to doubt that. Ain't no way.

[ocean mist]

any game made on UE engine got the same performance issues, so it's nothing new in a game industry

[vestal sky]

The talk is about the bugs not the specs

[celest solstice]

I am honestly in awe of how well it runs and how gorgeous it is.

[hybrid smelt]

shader compiling can take long for the first time

[frank elbow]

one more hour for me

[ionic root]

A bug is a bug...

[dim sequoia]

what are the reviews saying missed that

[tepid river]

Unreal engine 5 is unoptimized and the Devs need to work on it more

[ocean hornet]

its a nightmare on a 4090.. of course its abysmal on a series S LMAO

[grave wraith]

25 more minutes come onnnn

[tropic oasis]

It’s so spooky

[oblique void]

i imagine day one patch will be part of the download now unless you got a copy early

[mild marsh]

its luck we have it in the first place bro, so be thankful for it

how ever it is, it is finally here after 15 years so give them time to brush all things and improve

Rome hasnt built in a day

[valid pagoda]

the other people trash talking not those

[eager osprey]

I'm just at 5%

[dusty heath]

shader compiling crashing game every time, any ideas how to fix this? 😄

[random sentinel]

No. Its the zone being the zone.

[dusty kernel]

seems like i won't be using the internet for the next 24 hours.

I want to see everything myself, so this channel is going to be the only one i'm going to be in.

[bright dome]

today is really the day wth

[blissful bolt]

lets see what this 3080 10gb can do on this 21:9 monitor lmaoooooooooooo THIS unpacking is ridic

[wicked lichen]

17% lets go, gonna play all night:))

[fickle cove]

lol I was just watching qlouds stream and once he opened the game his pc friken crashed and the stream ended 💀😭

[vernal sky]

Idk my pc can prob run it

[light quiver]

Yeah, because game will be currently going to be speedrunned... I will close Discord for not reading anything. I'll be here at next year

[boreal epoch]

That game itself is really good, fantastic atmosphere but a lot of bugs and technical stuff weights it down

[oak plume]

Anyone else on controller?

[dull trellis]

I'm playing on the Xbox series s right now and actually it's not too bad I'm actually pretty surprised

[heavy fable]

finally roles are back its like that scene in transformers one when all miners get their core thing

[trail swift]

My NVMe is burning, 560Mb/s download going in... let's go!

[jade coral]

60% 🙏

[vestal sky]

Compiling shaders 75%

[whole beacon]

just choppy, dark, controller input feels laggy and weird. 4090 being a nightmare is a bit dramatic my bratushka. @dull trellis doesnt it feel so dark and weird on ctonroller

[tepid river]

It's stuttery. What do you mean how well it runs?

[ivory sinew]

Should be noted that most reviewers did not have access to or play on the day one patch.

[ocean hornet]

its gonna need at least a couple months. people saying they are waiting one week are delusional

[mild marsh]

dont worry, I will ping you with spoilers as good friend that I am

[frank elbow]

There will be patches to fix the bugs

[oblique void]

are the shaders taking long?

[sterile niche]

UE5 is great. Worked out great for Satisfactory game. Especially that lumen, yummy. Can't wait to see it in Stalker!

[sonic solar]

i hope so i am ingame now. see you later fellow stalkers

[latent seal]

again, this was not a comment on the quality of AI behaviour. just on how close they are spawning/despawning to you compared to the original trilogy.

[rancid vortex]

Hey does anyone know if the ultimate physical edition is still available to buy?

[eager osprey]

Console players actually got predownloads didn't they darn

[valid pagoda]

i would verify integrity of game after downloading to be safe

[sturdy nymph]

i get stuck on 24% download for the second time and it wont go past that

[plucky mortar]

i turn on the game and the splash screens already made my whole pc ramp up all the fans lol

[bright dome]

is there a day one patch?

[latent silo]

hi

[wicked lichen]

yep, left us pc diehards starving out here

[oak plume]

Do you have any issues with stick drifting?

[dusty kernel]

Thank you ❤️

[foggy spire]

will the shader compilation always be this tideous after every game start?

[nimble heron]

Yo anyone game crash on start up

[fickle cove]

lol I was just watching qlouds stream and once he got to compiling shaders his pc friken crashed and the stream ended 💀😭

[vestal sky]

I have an nvme ssd so no (5-10 mins)

[blissful bolt]

Shaders are gonna rape mel. As i have an xbox series x in the living room....dear jesus why do i do this to myslef

[boreal epoch]

I finished Silent Hill 2 Remake on day one version. No bug or performance can stop me

[frank elbow]

GOG, now allows you to install the game!!! 😉 happy hunting stalkers!

[tepid river]

I hope they do. Unreal Engine 5 is notorious for it's terrible performance. I want it to improve

[oblique void]

i have the same so thats good news thanks brother

[ocean hornet]

i have a 4090, and for that graphics card and my processor, it is a nightmare with all the stutters and microstutters, bratushka

[whole beacon]

Im having serious issues with stick drifting on my series S i gave up playing, just waiting for shaders now on my 4060/i5 8400 @oak plume

if its like metro exodus it only compiles once until you change a major render i guess idk

[remote sand]

pro tip: sell your steam trading cards asap, their prices are always highest when a game just released

[spare cairn]

Its a buggy mess, other people are saying its a fun but buggy mess, other people say its a magical buggy mess, other people are saying its the buggiest game that could qualify for game of the year, i think it might be buggy

[sour pine]

anyway to fix/change dead stick zone?

[old bloom]

maybe it’s a good thing i won’t be able to play until friday

[merry forge]

We play on Veteran, nothing less Stalkers.

No I don't have any stick drift or anything but the only thing it might feel a little sluggish but other than that it's actually playable so I'm pretty happy how it turned out other people will have different opinions about it though

[dusty kernel]

just asking, does anybody have the picture with the requirements? Kinda wanna know which settings to put with my rtx 3060 and r5 5600g.

[stone garnet]

Yeah much purchase warnings. And i need to buy it for 460 EUR..

[tepid river]

UE5 is terrible what. I don't think you realise how bad the engine is

[nimble heron]

memory issues? anyone

[dim sequoia]

but can it run stalker 2

[boreal epoch]

SH2 Remake had awful stutters. I managed to fix Them with some config ini modification

[eager osprey]

I just hope my 16 gigs of memory doesn't bottleneck it too much

[storm kernel]

One minor glitch that can be fixed with loading a save or restarting the game means it's unplayable? If we really care this much, then Cyberpunk 2077 would be a 0 for how many minor insignificant bugs I face there

[round axle]

7min and i enter the zone, good luck Stalkers

[tall furnace]

Anyone on it yet?

[dire raptor]

lol is it a spoiler to know that there is lightning in the game that kills you?

One of the unfortunate parts of stalker 2 is I don't think they commissioned much music like Dirge. Could be wrong tho

[copper haven]

Actual fact, and the DLC is in fact VERY much more difficult than the base game. Especially if you just go into the DLC at like RL80 or something dumb. You will die, and you will die a lot. Then cry about it cause you refuse to play the game or "git gud".

[tall furnace]

Rightfully so. Unreal engine 5 is synonymous with games running like crap. So yes am gonna bash it because I want the entire game industry to do something about it so we aren't dealing with this disgusting performance in modern games. I can't wait for the end of Unreal Engine 5.

[stone garnet]

Can they tell it amazon? We dont get a code if the order isnt charged. And it will be charged after sending.

[merry forge]

It does seem that the first roll-around for compiling shaders took a minute. Much faster second go around

[candid radish]

I've got 6 hours until I can get back home and play, stalkers. 🫡

[atomic violet]

whats the lowest spec someone is running this atm?

[gritty lily]

My cpu is old ryzern 7 3700x. well kinda old. I was expecting it to take longer.

[gray pasture]

My friend could not run it on his 4090 in 4k without frame gen. 40-50 fps on 4k maxed without frame gen on DLSS quality, but it didn't feel quite right even at 40-50 fps.

anyone that has it downloaded , does it support 4:3 res? kinda wanna try it on my crt lol

[wispy venture]

how many people here are actually gonna be able to run this at 60fps

[sterile niche]

fiber. Downloading it on steam right now at 59.5 MB/s

[gray pasture]

With frame gen DLSS performance it goes up quite a bit, closer to 100 fps I think

[verbal crater]

Bahaha so crazy but will be worth it 🙂 Net so damm bad in Aus in some areas.

[frank elbow]

I have 26m and 45 seconds 😉 good thing I have fiber optic internet and a 4tb ssd.

i wil be running it with my 3080 and 5600X hope i can do 120 fps

[heavy fable]

does 840m meet low specs

[boreal epoch]

You tried to run it at 2K with Upscaling?

[signal vapor]

i think so, gamepass might be in microsofts walled garden tho, so it may be harder to mod

[remote light]

Just hit 70%

[gray pasture]

But frame rate seems a little inconsistent. Bouncing around a lot

[torpid yacht]

THE GAME IS PEAK 🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️ 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[gritty lily]

I dled the game in 25 mins myself, 3-4 mins to compile shaders a few more to set options, then i exited game just to lock them in, incase it crashes plus some of the graphics options needed a restart. @whole beacon other than mod support yes, gamepass for pc games tend to have less mod support as mircocrap locks down the .exe too hard and some mods cannot do what it needs to

[velvet nimbus]

My spec's, your spec's, I got a 4090ti, I can play the game on a nasa computer, look at my 40 fps 4k gameplay with my 5k pc. This chat lmao

Reading comprehension is something you obviously don't have.
Maybe go reread that, all I said is this is the no spoiler chat...
So probably not a good place to ask for help. I didn't say he was spouting spoilers.
I'll admit your not very good at reading.

[dim sequoia]

youre on steam?

[valid pagoda]

i think Ue5 engines benefit a lot more with more cores

[shy dawn]

Anyones fps feeling kinda off, like it says 60fps but feels more like and unstable 35-40 ish

[sterile niche]

you talking Mbps? Because I am 479.7 Mbps right now

[tepid river]

Its pure stutter if you look at a frame time graph. Unreal Engine 5 problems all over it @shy dawn

[mild marsh]

so since you already have ultimate on Steam, when you physical comes just DM me the code cuz you dont need 2 codes

[brisk basin]

Running very well on my xbox so far

[spiral finch]

No, not even close sadly

[whole beacon]

yeah but in terms of day 1 expeirence it should be fine.... hopefuilly. compilers almost done 75%. I had to give up with series S. TExtures looked blurry, everything in the color looked off, and aiming was a nightmare. But its Series S, we expect this.

Dutch 🇳🇱 people still waiting on their local retailers to go "You can come get your game now" after the game has been officially released already for 38 minutes...

Yeah but the problem is my rather limited fiber connection. 10MBps download speed on steam...

[latent silo]

and me still waiting for gfn version

[gray pasture]

I'm hoping a lot of these performance and bug related issues get fixed in the coming days

[gritty lily]

Oh yeah, for the base game unmodded there will be basically 0 difference. and I MAY be wrong on the mod situation as I am basing this on other examples that exist.

[dull trellis]

Who's playing on the Xbox series s what is your guys's opinion on it I'm curious personally I think it's all right yes it is a little bit sluggish but it's playable

[knotty python]

worst game ever

[brisk spade]

Why do they feel the need to insta kill you randomly almost constantly. It’s not even truly difficult it’s just random insta deaths

[torpid bay]

Btw Nvidia does have issues on its drivers with LFC. It doesnt work properly.

With Gsync when FPS dips below 50ish fps LFC is suppe to double monitor Hz 40 fps = 80Hz but since LFC is broken it erratically switches between whole Hz range of your monitor giving you some stutter and massive flickering

[viscid blade]

For me, at least, yep 😂

[boreal epoch]

Unreal Engine 5 does not go well together with anything

[signal vapor]

at least we can suffer together, 34% and the future looks bleak (The next 2 hours)

[strange minnow]

rtx 4060ti + i5 14400F + 32gb ram...

[gritty lily]

that a GOOD thing or a BAD thing? cuz some fluids are fun to throw, while others not so much. @mild fractal yes sometimes u need to close/relaunch steam or exit the libary and go back into it, I just had to go to the store tab then back to library for it to show for me

Might wanna install it and do drivers before you launch the game the first time, as if you don't it'll have to compile shaders twice. once on the old card then when it detects a new one it'll have to do it again.

I did ... actually I can see it appearing for millisecond when I click on library, and when it loads I can see it becomes hidden

Do you not have a frame time graph? Check John Papadopoulos on YouTube he has a frame time graph with a 4090 it will show you how bad it is.

[rain marten]

I got ten.... Still got 2 and a half hours at least.

as with any pc game. just gotta play w/ settings

[floral hedge]

yes, I will use DDU to uninstall my display drivers before getting the new in, then ofc get it all set up properly before hopping into the zone 🙂

[crude bison]

Shaders done it took like 15 minutes

[oblique swan]

Hell yeah, Im up to 77% as well

[slate zephyr]

EU Austria server has very good DL speeds right now

Some how even though I can’t even play I was able to download the entire game in 30 minutes

[boreal epoch]

Some weird Epic Store issues. That's why I use Steam. Try to contact Epic support

[dire dagger]

Thanks remote download

[ebon maple]

Shaders took me about 5 with a 4080super and a 5800x3D.

no projected eta bc the xbox app sucks, but if you do the math its about 2hrs

I am running a local (Hardwired) connection, so range to the router is not relevant on my end.

bro why is steam so bad

[final copper]

How long does it take to compile shaders

[dire dagger]

It’s not bro

tbh, i thought it was MegaBYTES first, which would have been 20min

[crude bison]

15 minutes for me

[cerulean peak]

[viral lintel]

Ive got to wait another 7 hours and 30 mins stop complaining

[granite mortar]

@still ridge dont forget to tell me how its running once youre done downloading

I downloaded the game on steam jn 30 minutes

It is? I figured it stopped existing. Maybe if Tim Sweeney or Todd Sweeney, whatever his name is, makes his own Half Life with blackjack and whookers, he'd have a more successful platform.

At 50% with an hour estimate left :)

[spiral finch]

Hmm, I'm on gamepass and it was completely fine for me

[still nymph]

Whats the verdict so far. Is it good?

[floral hedge]

4090s are sooo expensive right now, they will probably not even drop right after the 5 series comes out. I don't actually need the latest stuff, its overkill most of the time. I settled for a 7800 XT. Got other things to spend money on too^^.

[dire dagger]

Gonna try and stream the game to my laptop over lunch wish me luck

[mild marsh]

but then you have to unpack it, then you have to install it

and then you have to load shaders

you have very, very long time before you even see main menu but hang in there

[native ibex]

Not bad, not bad. But that's Weeney Hut JR turf. Try seven hours and fifty minutes left, greenhorn.

GUESS WHAT??? MY PC WENT TO SLEEP WHILE I'M AWAY

[bronze talon]

except his frametime values are lower than mine so that must be the case. Going to play around with the settings but im definitely not going to hit my 2 hour refund limit yet if it doesnt improve

im getting video memory issue when trying to reach the main menu

[deft vigil]

hooray

thats what i get fro buying the game from EGS to save some money

[stable rain]

all done, i did it in the past days, everything is fresh, had a restart too

[steep solstice]

Tell him its nothing, ... just an anomaly

[misty void]

There is a spec sheet in announcements somewhere, I'd check there for fps

[brisk spade]

for real though, poor game design to kill the player randomly almost constantly. The only difficult part of this game is wanting to play more.

[tepid river]

I wouldn't be very complacent about trying to improve it because it's unreal engine 5. Notorious for terrible and unstable performance. I don't think there is any magical graphical setting to discover

[full bronze]

guys i died the game is too hard, uninstalling rn

[forest linden]

just woke up bout to experience greatness

How is the enemy density ?

FINALLY INSTALLING STALKER 2

Biggest thing I've heard: first few hours are super generic to please the execs, rest of the game certifiably bangs as a stalker title

[native ibex]

Ask YouTube, friend. They'll tell you it's full of bugs. It is. It looks pretty rough. We are talking like, first days of Dying Light 2 or Cyberpunk on the jank scale. Maybe Arkham Knight on PC realease week.

[final copper]

I would get a refund immediately if it wasn’t a buggy mess not my stalker

[cerulean peak]

[tepid river]

Unreal engine 5. It's as expected with a stuttery experience so I would wait for post launch patches.

[pliant tartan]

Oh no! They should swap to let EA publish it, they will fix all that! 😄

Now it’s completely dead. What is up with Steam ?

[signal vapor]

42%!

Lmao it’s cyberpunk 2077 tier?

[pine crag]

hello i'm from france and can't download the game even after 5 pm

Did you try restarting steam?

This is the closest thing to a Midnight Release that I've seen in years in term of love and energy.. this Community is something else. I remember playing S.t.a.l.k.e.r. Shadow of Chernobyl all the way back in around 2011 after falling in love with Fallout 2 and New vegas and the rest is history.

[crimson remnant]

naw, the games actually playable. just has good ol slavjank

[deft vigil]

should have gotten it through steam, but i had a bunch of money in epic games cashback

[knotty python]

I agree, Ubisoft and EA should take over

[wooden flame]

Anyone have problem with delivery on Amazon with the Ultimate Edition

[late acorn]

Same for me, I was even playing on a GTX 1060 lol.

[left terrace]

i am a responsible consumer and will not preorder and will wait for reviews from reputable sources before making a decision to spend £50

[sterile niche]

So the performance seems ok for me. 112fps DLSS on, 91fps average frame off on a 5120 x 1440, ultra settings, motion blur off (as it was set to epic motion blur)

Seem ok to me. But then again, just started. Maybe different later?

[bright marsh]

same, well I would have used GOG, but I used EGS because I had points there

[visual warren]

Slavjank I can manage and in fact expect. I just can’t do with ctds

[native nebula]

Bros, the performance is stagering. 140 fps on ultra with dlls quality at 4k resolution. What the heck

Wtf is this invisable enemy????

I've got EA and Activision on my blacklist.. Stopped buying from those publishers.. I also completely stopped prepurchasing games after being ripped off like a gazillion times lol..

[floral skiff]

Proper Open, I did hear about stutters though when the game tries to load though.

[finite dragon]

lit how about 4k and does it have hdr or no ?

[sleek patrol]

I think not. And also no Critics played it on Series S which is a total disaster, yet it's staying mostly under the radar

[pine crag]

at 5 pm the page refresh with all achievements, artbook, ost etc... but can't dowload

[mellow flame]

im at 95 percent download

[signal vapor]

hell yeah, pretty much up until now ive refused to read anything so sorry if thats been answered already

[tepid river]

Not at all. Typical messy UE5 game. 4090 gets 50-70fps at 4K Epic. *DLSS Quality

[leaden jay]

Hdr yes, just have to run game in exclusive fullscreen to enable it

[devout nymph]

Does anyone have wildly aggressive stick drift on Xbox for this game? I don't have the issue on any other game, but skif seems to want to spin forever.

[sick zenith]

how many weapons are in game?

[jade coral]

omg compiling shaders

Are you guys also getting slower and slower every minute XGP downloads this game? At the beginning it was fast and from 70MB/s it is now 23 Mb/s

[severe turtle]

Yea Xbox APp is so bad with downloads

[tawny bobcat]

Glad I don't have an S, then. 😬 Sorry for you guys.

[novel stump]

2070 super, and I’m getting 50-60 fps consistent in 1080p high settings, i have frame cap set to 60

[finite dragon]

not bad this aint cod lmaoo 😭

[lean mist]

for higher res like 3440x1440 or 3840x2160 its not overkill on 1440p maybe

but since im on 3440x1440 i def need the jump of raw power from the 50 series, my 3080ti isnt enough anymore and 4090 sometimes struggles and i dont wanna rely on framegen

[karmic sapphire]

Native right?

[wise karma]

Guys im at work right now so i havent been able to try the game yet is it really as glitchy as people say it is

[floral hedge]

Unfortunate. Try to clear your steam download cache Steam -> Settings -> Downloads

If that doesn't do anything try reinstalling steam.

The game runs flawlessly on Proton.
On 1440p with an RTX 4080, I can run without upscaling EPIC 60FPS.

did uninstall steam delete all my steam games files ?

naur was a steady 300 the whole way its done only took 1hr

Actually that's with DLSS quality mb 50fps metric is true but the 70fps is DLSS quality :/

[frank elbow]

heck yeah about to play! 😉

[weak lion]

as in flashlight keybind isn't an option in the keybinds menu. oversight maybe?

anyone know how to fix the huge input delay?

how is the ray tracing ?

[dark heron]

How is it going guys for you who already tried game ? Is performance smooth ?

[tepid river]

4080 should be getting a clean 60fps at native 4K and it isn't. That's the problem

[floral hedge]

Don't know exactly what steam does when uninstalling. It should not, or at least give the option to not do it. If it does, move the game folder out of the steam directory and when you reinstall move it back in.
