You can activate the console in-game by injecting code into the game. With the console, you can "activate"/"deactivate" alife, it has a commands for it, which is:
void XALifeDisable() const;
void XALifeEnable() const;
void XALifeKillAll() const;

Currently does not change anything in-game at all.

Also, the methods in the code itself, does nothing at all. They have no variables or anything of value.

Playing with controller, I don' t have drifting issue, but the movement fells slippery, like moving on ice lol. I tried to turn down joystick sensitivities, and it does slow down, but still felt annoying. Is that intended or an issue to be fixed in the future? @ivory swallow @glossy veldt @split flame

[copper haven]

lmfao my favorite part is the sound, like it sounds SO good, the enironment, the wind, the lightening all of it, but there is like no foot step sounds from enemies or allys alike, and half the time the audio just cuts out completely. OR when someone is using a radio or has a gas mask on, it'll be all muffled like they have their face covered or they're talking on a radio and then all of a sudden the muffled sound goes away and now it sounds like they're just talking in my ear. hilarious.

[proven shadow]

Watching people argue about the game makes me want to play the game more but I need to sleep

I have my fair bit of calm time especially when dragging my loot back to a trader. Idk man, I dont have any troubles with the economy especially if you get into headshotting enemies and actually looting stuff like ammo to sell. I am between 100k and 200k coupons constantly

[thorny junco]

does the game have random npc quests, i havent gotten any yet
and also does it have dynamic anomalies and artifacts with them sometimes

[pearl jacinth]

is there a folder where all of your various S.T.A.L.K.E.R. images are stored? you should put them into a compressed archive and post it.

The only thing I have negative to say about this game is the “game over” screen looks awful. The shader compiling every. Single. Time. You open the game. And also the loading images all Look like UE3 at best.

[wraith socket]

I don't mine what you're doing, other than when it's a big copy/paste list of stuff. I don't want to see those types of spamming. Continue your low-level whining, if you feel like pissing in the wind is getting you somewhere.

ID POL trying to worm their way in to another game.

[minor salmon]

That's not proof of your claim.

That's just making a statement that is complicated and most people would just shrug off.
Provide PROOF, cause again GAMMA devs themselves have affirmed it's a thing.

I trust their word more than a random speaking code jargon.

He's wrong and his opinion is invalid and he should go to jail, but it was just a well formatted post rather than a copypasta

[primal salmon]

We understand your fancy flexing with 4090

[mellow vault]

I have the code right here, right before me. The whole SDK of the game.

[tardy trellis]

I'm new to the game and was playing in Veteran mode. Considering that a lot of people expect the major issues of the game not being fix soon. Should I just lower my difficulty and casually stroll through the game once and wait for months to replay at higher difficulty?

[zinc zinc]

I'm fully aware, I'm saying it lacks the visual clarity of the original trilogy.

@wraith socket Nothing was copy pasted, I was asked a question about what I would want to see and I manually typed a full message.

next patch: all enemies drop a grenade on death

even the mutants

[minor salmon]

Yes, cause I can see that code currently Infront of you...

[drifting plover]

unironically I think it's another feature cut due to lack of a-life. in previous games you could observe the world after you death, now there would not be anything to observe

[light quiver]

Alright! I managed to kill it... and now I know what it is... definitely didn't sound like such

I dont have alife anyway and no update can fix that

[idle summit]

what's with these random swarms of boars? I beat a swarm and then another one gets spawned in, is this how it's supposed to be like?

[earnest bear]

indeed everything points to it being there only gsc make it sound like a placeholder
(very expensive for a placeholder)

[tame hornet]

Every time I say the game runs fine in the pc spec chat they asked what my specs were and I got tired 😔

[zinc zinc]

No, A-Life is bugged/non-functional. It'll hopefully be fixed in a few weeks

[normal ocean]

So wehn does the "Ultimate edition" gear show up and how can I avoid it? I only got it for the season pass and don't want to p2w my way through the game.

[tall sequoia]

Just two more weeks

[stable arrow]

You assume that, but stay with me for a sec, is it possible some of these things are intended to improve immersion? Like if you don't get a pop-up for whether someone is a loner, maybe you are supposed to figure out what faction they are apart of? Others have complained about artifacts not giving you actual values, but is that also to make artifacts seem mysterious? You can view things through multiple lenses you just are arguing that GSC did not conform to your specific wants and needs

When I see people post the same long list of complaints, that I've seen more than once, I'm calling that copy/pasting. Have you considered moving to reddit or something? They would love you there.

[pseudo moat]

the deluxe and ultimate edition gives you a quest that offers a list of stashes around the first area of the game that give you a fat head start with a great gun and armor (for the early game) to boot, however i can say as someone ~15 hours in the game, ive yet to even hear about the ultimate edition exoskeleton location

[gloomy knoll]

Can we get rid of this already?

[primal salmon]

If a-life 2.0 will not work properly, they should switch to Touch-Grass 1.0

[normal ocean]

STALKER Female protagonist when. (it would make weirdos angry)

Alterantively let her dual wield weapons like Lara Croft/Kafka and it'd be peak

[idle summit]

ok well am I supposed to just not play the game for 2 weeks after I've been so excited to see it released for the last years? 😄 I get the game and then one of its main game mechanics that are fan favorite is not working

[zinc zinc]

Of course my opinion is subjective, I'm expressing that in my opinion the original trilogy provided but better visual clarity for faction identification (Talking strictly uniforms/identifying markings).

@wraith socket

Unless it's bannable, Kindly keep the passive aggressive comments to yourself.

[proven shadow]

Do you know where the saiga 12 with drum mag is ? Cant remember the in lore name

[upper stag]

honestly those ultimate edition items are broken

like they're so much better than anything you can get in the first few zones...I'd avoid em til later

[worn oar]

@wraith socket its the same guy. Thats penalty evasion.

[crisp juniper]

I can't believe Stalker went dei chin I can't believe it, I've never touched a woman

[torpid mica]

"You have to find them out in the world, we don't wanna give them to players straight away" literally shows you the stashes where they're all kept

[fiery vault]

These patch notes are a let down

[drifting plover]

wish they weren't so clearly identified as well with this "journalist stash" quest. they should be random separate stashes

[primal salmon]

He is Neo, he escaped the matrix

[quartz gust]

I hope they fix the emission bug next patch or else i'm refunding there's no way i am reloading a save 5 hours back bruh

[normal ocean]

That's good for me, lets me avoid them

[stable arrow]

IDK what you mean by "visual Clarity" other than the pop-up with their faction. The outfits are distinct from eachother, i've had no problem telling apart freedom from duty from monolith/noontide, so in my opinion it meets my expectations there

[earnest bear]

i think i got a few of them and they are just base weapons with a different skin and 100% durability

[wraith socket]

Is it the same person or did they just copy/paste what the original person posted?

[proven shadow]

You literally cant even get most of them from the start and you have to walk there. Its not the same

at this point I'm not sure if GCS is just bad at english, so many things they said just missed the mark or brought more confusion, like another example is the "you can explore the world right after prologue" or something like that

oh trust me I understand very well. You said that this is one of the few games where that crap doesn't exist, right? Implying that male protags are now rarity.

Obviously if I go and look at new released games, majority are male protags. Which I don't have a problem with, by the way.

According to earlier games, all of stats are getting reduced the more it is damaged... if same rule applies here, 0% means it protects 0% in all stats. ( But I haven't followed that accurately, so I can't say 100% )

is clear sky worth it or shall I go for COP after SOC? I only played SOC

[crisp juniper]

In towns? Not really, Digital Foundry says it's CPU limitations and are right now unavoidable.
Outside of towns, you can try FSR Frame-Gen. It does add a bit of input lag, but I found I got used to it really quickly. That doubled my frame rate despite being CPU limited myself. The input lag gets much worse in towns though, like 0.2 seconds bad.

[boreal mica]

cool you understand more than others so that's nice but for example if you watched xbox game show it was mostly uninteresting, cute looking diversity games...the only thing worth taking a look at was Stalker 2 and Kingdom Come Deliverence 2 . hence why a lot of us find a good refuge in these games, we are talking about main games. people who like male protagonist chaddy games are a big part of the market

[drifting plover]

honestly I don't understand why this isn't a thing already in og trilogy / anomaly

[indigo marsh]

Bandits also think fleshes are hot after spending time in the zone without women

[boreal mica]

I mean mutants being tanky and hard is the way. In og trillogy- bloodsucker taking two buckshots in the face and dies. In S2 those mutants finally fits the stalker's legends. Hard to kill and scary. You hear the stories of one bloodsucker but when you meet one, you are like: meh. But in S2 sometimes it's better to run than get into the fight. So yeah, nerfing the true horror of the Zone would be like putting 1.6 HDI into the Ferrari because it's too fast.

I think all game shows are boring because they rarely have games that you have to be on the spectrum to play. But I think you're on to something here, I must construct elaborate narrative about how those game show awards actually reflect on how oppressed I am because they do not have Factorio: Space Age, or Oxygen Not Included, Rimworld et cetera.

[wraith socket]

I did. Waiting for you to say something.

[rugged jolt]

So, I dropped a certain key.. which progresses the story. Can’t find it anywhere, where I dropped it (on accident) anyway to get another one?

[dapper echo]

they aren't? they feel the same as the older stalker enemies apart from me having more health

[still idol]

Goodnight comrade.

[indigo marsh]

Clear sky is definitely worth it. I personally think it is the best of the trilogy.

[pearl jacinth]

stalker 2 will finally appeal to the nexusmods g*mers

[drifting plover]

is space age good? will it destroy my life like the base factorio?

[idle summit]

it's all good, at the end of the day we're all stalkers from different factions with different beliefs etc. that's why we all come to this game, to find ourselves

[dull citrus]

What difficulty are you playing on? Cause on Veteran they are ridiculously tanky. Humans can only reliably die via headshot and Mutants take half your stocked ammo to kill, all the while 3-shotting you and stunlocking you.

[primal salmon]

Skiftuah spit on that bloodsucker

[last helm]

It makes the game like 8x as big so yea.

[dense hatch]

no Wildermyth mention?

[smoky pelican]

call of pripyat is great but big issue with cs is that its roughly recycled from shadow of chernobyl with some ass locations like the swamps being mandatory but both are good

call of pripyat does a great job making you feel like a badass as you get closer to the end though and overall is the most polished

[hexed leaf]

can we ban 'community wishlist' on sight yet? (oops, rogue @)

[crisp juniper]

I never clicked with Factorio and honestly I'm scared to try again. Other games in the same/similar genres have ruined me.

[still idol]

No matter how cool Skiff is, he’s not Strelok. Strelok is always gonna be my GOAT

[late hazel]

Guys I got a code for a safe, but it says, the code is stick, cobra, pothole, infinity - But it's a number pad. Wtf

[wanton trout]

This is realism at its best I compose music, got multiple guitars but i still do not know how to play it despite having done so for a couple years now.

@drifting plover Most likely yes, but honestly it gets a bit overwhelming especially if you like to build to scale. A lot of "oh, now I have to redesign this whole thing again". But the real strong point is the variety. Like if you felt that knowing how SR latches work before is relatively useless, you will finally get to use as many latches as you want and not feel like its pointless.

@dense hatch I only have 66 hours so far in Wildermyth

[unborn oasis]

is there like, a sort of karma system in this game?

[waxen ivy]

there arent any woman in the zone XDD

[upper elm]

when it comes to upgrades, do we know if its better to go bullet range or dropoff reduction? reduction moves the bar less but i don't trust the bars in these kinds of games ever lol

do you have a bandcamp? send me if you make music

[primal salmon]

Scar is a GOAT of the people, cuz hes a merc.

[nova mica]

Again, literally zero people have asked for #9. You know people can search discord message history, right?

[dull citrus]

Just remember Strelok was a nobody once before he became a Legend of the Zone. Same could be said for Skif after he spends enough time there.

[dapper echo]

then don't play veteran. there your problem is solved

[dense hatch]

it's so over

[smoky pelican]

i think we all aspire to be able to play in game like this someday https://x.com/VsimPohuy/status/1859612299067035988

[sinful oyster]

Has anyone told gsc that attachments on weapons you find don't come off?

[still idol]

No but the NPCs are supposed to remember your actions throughout the game, but upcoming patches will prove that since it’s kinda glitched atm

@primal salmon I love all the characters in the Stalker franchise, Scar is such a badass

@dull citrus Yes I agree. Skif may end up becoming a legend like Strelok in the future

[last helm]

I really am not trying to rub salt in the spawning system's wound. But nothing spawns far enough away for either to matter. So either.

Is the guitar a story quest reward or do you buy it, or is it just randomly found?

@dull citrus You can find a guitar next to your bed in Zalissya.

By the way, does anyone know if bullet physics are present like they were in the first game?

The game feels so bald when my headlamp doesn't cast shadows. But enemy's lamps DO cast shadows? Does anyone know if this is a bug or intended?

[unborn oasis]

actions in terms of, I'm assuming, quest decisions? like right now i have a mission to enter the sphere, and im just wondering if going stealth vs killing everyone has consequences in terms of like, factions starting to consider you KOS after repeatedly killing their members or what ever

[queen ice]

I’ve seen rounds drop visibly but minimally at like 100m, so I would assume so yeah

[drifting plover]

it didn't show in my inventory at all when I picked it up, but I could still play it later

[exotic mural]

use flat rounds instead

[sturdy oak]

Nah, I’ve been chillin, walked into some ward dudes that paid me to shoot some mutants for them.

[icy lodge]

You find it in the lesser zone in Zalissya where your bed and stash are

[vocal salmon]

On the bed (next to the one you can sleep in) near Hamster in the first outpost.

[still idol]

I personally CANNOT wait to see/hear covers of popular songs from people as I cannot play the guitar myself, I even struggle with attempting Johnny Cash - Hurt even though I know the chords by heart lmao.

[smoky pelican]

you can also play the guitar wherever you want which is really cool

[north violet]

I need to see a video of someone playing Dirge for the Planet in-game.

[tardy crane]

Idk how to play a guitar but good to know 🙏

[hexed leaf]

It's everyone's game due to A-Life being bugged. It's on GSC's radar, and is probably the most talked about problem right now (outside of performance issues)

[finite dragon]

My exploration has been completely empty besides side quests and main quests and there is little to no interaction allowed with most stalkers/ other people

[crisp juniper]

I just had a thought about playing on controller. Is there aim acceleration at all? I might be in the minority but I like it when I'm used to it.
That might be the wrong name thinking about it, but like if you push the right stick far to one side, does it remain a constant speed or does it speed up?
I'd test it but I'm not at home

[nova mica]

We'd need to know when he left to use that to determine the current year, unless there's lore I don't know about.

[queen ice]

Im still holding out for the feature to use my guitar as a melee weapon tbh, seems far more economic than boolets

[primal salmon]

NO STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN IN ZONE !!!!!!! 😠

[exotic mural]

you dont get a guitar in s2

[sturdy oak]

Side quests I’d kinda what I’d call the random stuff. I found that quest on the side of the road.

[still idol]

Imagine a hidden achievement for attempting He Was A Good Stalker on the guitar, would be neat imo.

[rustic perch]

Which channel is the spoilers channel?

[vocal salmon]

A lot of ppl don't realize if you can get the drop on a Bloodsucker you can even lull them into a calm state with the guitar.

Is the upcoming patch gonna make the game run more stable on series x or is it just fixing crashing etc

[gusty drum]

Battle royal? Hell nah, couldn't care less. Unless separate game. Base building and easier enemies is just wild💀. Although pvp areana that we kinda have vs npcs is nice idea

[viral apex]

The only Bad thing about stalker 2 is
No combat themes 🥺

Is it cringe to side with ward?

[finite dragon]

Literally no one wants a goddamn battle royal, I have no clue where you got that idea from

[nova mica]

In my experience, 50+ hours played, 0 crashes. You might have something else going on with your PC.

[ember summit]

They’re aware it’s not functioning properly and are gonna fix it, what more do you need to know?

[hexed leaf]

I mean what do you expect? They've either got a fix, and its in the patch notes, or they're working on a fix, and its mentioned in the patch notes. We got option B.

[open beacon]

What Patch Notes?

[sullen shuttle]

if you can’t tell that’s rage bait you need to get off the stalker discord lol

I'm only about 5 hours into the game now but one thing I'm feeling is there doesn't seem to be any consequence for just being a murder hobo. People don't give you what they want? Kill them and take it. People give you what they want? Kill them anyway for free extras. Am I missing something?

[neat snow]

https://tenor.com/view/get-a-life-bro-gif-13039273086703472777

[primal salmon]

Is Asmongold that old ?

[celest blaze]

Stalker 2 so that means it's time for PEAK

[worn oar]

Apparently he's ban evading. He's the same guy who posted that message first and second time too.

[normal ocean]

STALKER 2 needs DLC where we can obtain chicken from Sidorovich

[wanton trout]

only in the strict, physical sense

[pseudo rivet]

Yeah, GSC is aware of it

[wraith lintel]

i want a zone wifu

[tawny comet]

I’ll take a chicken with a side Rovich

[cobalt nexus]

Patch coming next week! It will fix everything. What are we going to talk about then?
In all seriousness, I hope it means more people can enjoy the game.

[quaint lark]

so are deadzones coming in the next patch or not because I haven't launched the game since the 20th..

[zinc zinc]

Was there any update on the Ultrawide Support issues for 21:9/32:9?

I know M1olt mentioned they were aware of it but didn't see anything in the update notes (Could just not be listed).

[exotic mural]

what even is a deadzone i play PC like a real man.

[robust mountain]

I'd talk about the game, but I can barely play it..

[torn fjord]

I guarantee they had to make major changes to it, or maybe they just slapped a new rendering engine on the game instead of changing the entire thing. Stalker 2, however, switched out from the xray engine entirely to unreal

[viral apex]

Once here someone told me
"You know Duty is right when he is calling You incompetent
Cuz Takes one to know one after all"

[autumn roost]

i remember everytime i went to the army warehouses, i would always find wolf chilling in the fire (dead)

[short rose]

Dude lives among cockroaches idk

[rocky kiln]

You are saying you need a post-brainwash Monolith GF that needs love and care to rejoin the society, follows you around and gives you both help and advice in combat? And to give her a ring made of anti-radiation artifact?

[primal salmon]

But glow up, been busy cleanin them spiders in a sink

[stiff leaf]

already in the game mate. the bloodsuckers, those badbois are caked up

[supple marten]

I can't wait for real a life. Everytime a guy says I can't take his loot. I just got more loot

[wanton trout]

yeah you can do that when you're physically 40 and mentally... well, him

[open beacon]

Despite all the circumstances: The Zone itself so far, is it immersing you? You think they catched the right vibe?

[quaint lark]

Making it not read the sticks' input until they're moved a certain amount from the center, to counteract drift or imprecise snapping to the center.

As it currently is, gamepad is a spectrum of either drunk or nigh-unplayable

[silent canopy]

Wait are there any women in the zone

[pseudo rivet]

He's a true Champion of Nurgle, one of His favored sons

[exotic mural]

wait till you hear about BLACK PEOPLE. AND ASIANS ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[final ridge]

Is there anyway to show time without opening the PDA? Also probably why does hidden stashes show up when they are so far away and usually without finding any note that tells where it is?? O.o

[viral apex]

Real man play it in max difficult emulated on a phone without using keyboard and mouse or gamepad

[pseudo rivet]

Yes

[short rose]

Isn’t he a millionaire tho or close

[primal salmon]

Can you just stop talking about stalker, we are having fun right now dood

@pseudo rivet I see youre man of culture my brother, for the emperor.

[rocky kiln]

It is, but it feels barren for now, enemies show up in droves by the POI. I love just taking my time and exploring the same yet different zone (Dark Valley and Garbage in one map tripped me so hard)

[honest turtle]

Does anyone know When lag problems will be solved, Im new so Im just curoise

[sleek trout]

will faction wars be a thing 🥺

[torn fjord]

had the biggest trip visiting cordon again, seeing sidorovich made me feel so warm and happy inside 🥰

[finite dragon]

If they could fix it all in a week, it would have been ready at launch. Problem is games only cost $60 still like 3 decades ago and they are infinitely more complex, so now we get unfinished games, and has just gotten so widely accepted now.

[rancid hornet]

is the midgame quest where you have to ||defend towns from monolith|| universally bugged? or have some people been able to complete it correctly? havent gotten there but im worried about it

[open beacon]

If there is a stalker-nospoilers-channel i will migrate, didnt found one.

[silent canopy]

I need her. Nude mod incoming 😂

[neat snow]

If you run along road to objective, it is pretty quiet. If you stop at each place along the road, very eventful. Fun

[icy lodge]

Why does the AR416 have to take up half of your screen

[gusty drum]

Correct me if I am wrong, alife is just part of the code, it's logic can be transferred. The only reason not using og as a temporary plug i am guessing it's implementation on unreal meaningless than write the thing from the groud up

[viral apex]

Real question
What is the most creepy grand wisher ending in SoC?
I think would be the one where Strelok make a wish
Start having some kind of visions
And ends up on a void with only himself there

[exotic mural]

"is there a way to know the time without looking at a clock"

lol

[supple marten]

My friend is saying Sidorivich rips people off, how do I convince him otherwise?

[warm hamlet]

Does anyone know whether stalker 2 is likely to get a discount on black friday or any upcoming sales?

[weary bridge]

it just came out, id be shocked

[swift garden]

balls

[wanton trout]

rip off your friend. then say that sidorovich isnt the only one doing it

[final ridge]

Haha, i meant more like a way to check ones watch or something without having to open the PDA xD

[crisp juniper]

Unlikely being so new. Probably at least another six months before sales come around, minimum

[rocky kiln]

Yeah that one

[pseudo rivet]

For Chapter, Primarch and Emperor! Never Forget, Never Forgive!

[icy lodge]

The creepiest is where humanity is bad ending and also the ending when strelok wishes the zone to disappear

[neat snow]

Day is 30 minutes, night is 30 minutes. Read that on a mod on nexus. They will have to look at clock in real life and do the conversion to skip PDA

[torpid mica]

Tiem for some blender practice. Gotta get those animation skills up for when loverslab support cums along.

[exotic mural]

yeah let me count 30 minutes.

[viral apex]

Kill him
Imagine just thinking "how dare a character being kind of selfish instead a classical mesiah who helps everyone without asking something Back?"
You must had an really boring like in characters

[rocky kiln]

Waiter waiter! Stalker 2 CBBE with jigglebones mod please

[cobalt nexus]

I hope you get too soon. I had to do a whole lot of tweaking and modding to get mine where I’m happy. The game really is quite good

[crisp juniper]

Implement that old NVIDIA fluid tech for realistic jizz behaviour

[supple marten]

It failed he's going to kill Sidorivich

[abstract oriole]

@wraith socket as someone who still hasnt gotten their copy yet... are bacpacks a "gear item" you can change out, or is that just decor on teh back wall?

[icy lodge]

Bro this flash bang anomaly can Sugmuh

[primal salmon]

When Sidorovich nude mod ?

[wanton trout]

please make mr beast bloodsuckers, alongside with asmongold izloms

[exotic mural]

sidorovich hate is just anti-semitism

[viral apex]

I think that one is cruel rather creepy
Like if it was some twisted dark joke from C-Conciousness

[stable rapids]

where is a life

[molten owl]

Someone just had to say it

[stiff leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/psp1g-what-gif-23713811

[cobalt nexus]

Yeah Its still not acceptable but we are used to it. Ive been saying for a while that they should just release it and let the community help finish it. Thats what we are doing. Theres heaps of mods already.

[oak narwhal]

Heya folks. I'm on PC and can't find the flashlight key bind. Internet says it's tab but doesn't seem to enable the flashlight

[abstract oriole]

according to the announcement and prelim patch notes.. its IN the game.. but apparently badly broken.. as the patch has some fixes going to it... so... yea? XD

[primal salmon]

Down the toilet at the moment dooood

[bleak lance]

i just talked to a guy in the skadovsk and watched him levitate through the roof 😭
this was beautiful to witness

[copper haven]

Hey chat, A-Life update just dropped.

[rocky kiln]

Try L or Hold Tab then E

[torpid mica]

Goodnight yall, stay safe!

[exotic mural]

make "a life" a wolf'd term honestly

[crisp juniper]

My flashlight is on Middle Mouse

[gusty drum]

So that some crybaby gonna do another reddit post about gsc banning for criticism

[molten owl]

Chat was so chill and someone had to drop the “A-Life” comment 💀

[languid obsidian]

is it possible to hasten reload speed? i havent got to the upgrade part yet

[abstract oriole]

not sure if spoiler... But can you free roam the game after you "beat" it so to speak? or is it like the first stalker game, where you just delay the final mission?

[primal salmon]

We all know youll just be yappin to a rock 24/7, who you tryin to fool blud

[wide matrix]

Is it just me or is anyone else noticing that stealth seems to be something that was intended to be a choice but ultimately was cut? It's still kinda there but I'm noticing a lot of mission areas that have very clear stealth routes that either aren't accessible or just serve no purpose

[rocky kiln]

Flashbang then screaming ash baby

[bleak lance]

i could've sworn there was an update to it!
i saw more patrols than usual fighting mutants

[exotic mural]

oh my god who genuinely goes on reddit jfc bruh 😐

[tawny comet]

Peak Stalker Jank

[autumn roost]

can you hide in cardboard boxes in this game?

[icy lodge]

No one knows except for the people who beat it it’s apparently a spoiler

[junior igloo]

Like cyberpunk?

[fair harbor]

i wonder how multiplayer is gonna work

[gusty drum]

there was a thread already, even mol1t answered to it

[torn fjord]

I'm sure to design and write Stalker 2's alife, they referenced a bunch of the logic from the original. Even though unreal and x-ray both run on the same language (c++), Unreal has different methods and systems, as well as different formatting for those methods and systems. They probably could add a completely exact version of og a-life into stalker 2, but it'd be far easier to write it from the ground up instead of trying to fix the old code to work with Unreal. Another problem is that original stalker games used to have the different areas split into loading zones, but stalker 2 just has one giant map unseparated by any such loading screens. I'm sure that a lot of a-life 2's logic and the way it works is written similarly to the original, except it clearly needs some tweaking, as well as some bug fixing.

[open beacon]

Yeah, but first things first.

[primal salmon]

We r goin to chant for a-life

[abstract oriole]

@junior igloooh wow.. thanks alot dude, now im sad.. realized I still havent finished the main storyline in Cyberpunk XD Likely still wont XD

@wraith socket Now THAT is a good edit XD

[swift garden]

for what is a man, what has he got, if not a life, then he has naught

[surreal whale]

Are there abandoned military bases or anything similar ingame that has the best loot? What’s the best area to explore? Any advice for a new player to the series?

[exotic mural]

yeah but who cares i dont touch reddit and no sane person ever should

[untold bay]

Every man dies. Not every man really lives.

[steep osprey]

Explore. Have Bobr. This is the Stalker way.

[junior igloo]

hello again

[nimble cipher]

fertro has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[fair harbor]

go to the cooling towers, near the CNPP, and kill shit there

[gusty drum]

Damn, i forgot about locations split. U are on the spot.

[primal salmon]

Blud thinks hes Aristotle himself

[rocky kiln]

I wonder how NPC Stalkers will cross the zones considering it has a lot of barrier in between

[finite dragon]

They're all abandoned until you're within 30 meters.

[untold bay]

And to say it as Aristotle woud; "You think I think I am Aristotle. Why?"

[vocal salmon]

And when you go inside a building after clearing the whole thing >:|

[chilly timber]

Kill a bunch of tushkano, game spawns another group within eyesight right infront of me....

[gusty drum]

Good thing I ain't registered than

[swift garden]

well i’m leaving the server

[hazy harness]

my advice is forget "the best" this, "the best" that, just take a stroll, enjoy

[rain sentinel]

A-Life

[junior igloo]

I missed you

[crisp juniper]

Man I really wish you could sprint and reload, or have some system where you've had a partial reload if you sprint while reloading. Small niggle but AHH

[primal salmon]

a life it is, sometimes hard, sometimes easy, but usually just as imagination

[cunning vigil]

Is just like the good old days bugged?

[torn fjord]

I really do hope they figure out all the tweaks and fixes they gotta do though. im lucky i havent experienced a lot of the issues talked about, but im sure they do exist. i need to get a life though

[celest goblet]

Agree on the staged reloads at least. I think I have come to understand the decision to not let you continue reloading while sprinting though.

[cobalt nexus]

Theres probably a mod for this

[bleak lance]

zaton and great swamps location being where it is right now throws me off so much because of how i remembered them 😭

[naive rover]

It's annoying but tbf idk if I could full sprint and reload a weapon at the same time. A light jog perhaps but not a full sprint

[finite dragon]

A-Life bunga. Game no A-life bunga, makes Bunga mad. Bunga get on discord, type "A-life" with keybunga for weeks.

A-LIFE A-LIFE A-LIFE

[hazy harness]

Whole new magazine just jumping out if I pick up the pace half a second too early 😠

[lean wharf]

how are you guys enjoying the game so far?

[dreamy crown]

So anyone got any advice on how to get controllers working on GeForce Now? And not that janky wasd profile crap

It'd be super cool if they didn't advertise controller support when it's completely screwed up

[primal salmon]

This was too much. Just get a life, no-lifer

[junior igloo]

I mean helldivers 2 has 2 or 3 different partial reload animations per each gun

[gusty drum]

Same here, so far I didn't expirienced any issues at all, no crushes or soft locks, or fps drops down to the 5fps. Even on low specs. I think since the core is good, technical issus like a life and other bugs will be fixed. But if game was technically polished but boring instead, it would be much worse

[misty lotus]

It's pretty neato burrito but spawns are forked

[hot dome]

About my only complaint has been that i cant access my save games anymore, the game just crashes with a memory error when i do. Starting a new game works tho

[lean wharf]

im kinda struggling with performance, so right now im using my time, on making some tweaks on the code and make my own mods to fix some things

[naive rover]

Fantastic, pretty much exactly what I was expecting and wanting out of the game. Already experiencing memorable moments. 9/10 despite the questionable choice to develop it on UE5

[hexed sparrow]

is there an ETA for the patch?

[torn fjord]

Yeah I see what you mean! They definitely did get the formula right. The gameplay is really fun. for me, at least. It’d already be blatantly obvious if the game was bad, no one would be playing it. But the fact people are still playing despite these bugs means that they did something right.

[chilly timber]

Atmosphere is great but the Zone still feels dead. I still hardly encounter anything outside of POI's, and having stuff spawn behind me once I do get to POI's is really annoying at this point.

[dreamy crown]

Anyone know why the devs haven't even acknowledged controller not responding issue? All they acknowledged was stick drift issues on console

[swift garden]

did you see me in your dreams

[scarlet ember]

THE BEST
THE BEST
THE BEST
THE BEST OF YOUUUUUUUU

[lean wharf]

i agree, i love how they kept the same experience as the old game, ofc, only complaint is the performance

[junior igloo]

I just hope you’re staying hydrated

[static compass]

Need one of these

[thorny junco]

The a-life tuah system is stalker 2s innovative new way of handling npc ai across the world which improves on every aspect of the originals

[torn fjord]

tuah

[graceful lake]

is this the legendary no stick drift stalker controller

[neon dome]

wait patch doesnt mention mutant life, do i still need to shotgun a fleshie 6 times in the face for it to die

[dreamy crown]

Lmao. Does that even work in the game?? A branded controller and controllers aren't even working

[young schooner]

How do I take Skifs PM out of my inventory?

[velvet edge]

In Stalker guns take you out of inventory

[swift garden]

always

[still ridge]

You can’t. It’s fine it weighs like .05 kilos

[chilly timber]

Definitely not a 9/10 currently to me, but to each their own. Sound design and such are top notch, but the actual enemy AI is a downgrade compared to the previous games, not to mention a certain system being entirely broken

[brave marten]

A-Tuah 2.0

[celest goblet]

It remains in your inventory but it is very lightweight

[static compass]

Anything with a checkmark on it can't be removed from your inventory

[languid pier]

https://tenor.com/liJuyagNrd5.gif

[still ridge]

Without the best mechanic in the franchise the game is still 7/10 if you exclude the experience of having some of the bad bugs

imo

[gusty drum]

Any reasoning and story behind it?

[naive rover]

It will be nice when they update the game with A-Life fixes. I personally don't mind the weird spawning so far, especially because it has saved my ass from a double bloodsucker encounter LOL. Seizing the moment and making a run for it while they distracted each other felt so good!

[vocal salmon]

I hate the dogs in this game more than any enemy.

[junior igloo]

I’m having fun man. I love modding games. I love modding Skyrim. I can’t wait to keep up with this game and mod it and play it long term

[torn fjord]

I think it might be because it's used in cutscenes and stuff

[autumn haven]

find a burer to drop your gun

[wraith socket]

That would mean a Burer can't rip it out of your hands.

[raven laurel]

I wanted to use the SVD but its kinda pointless atm. Combat is too close quarters with how the spawn in range currently is

[celest goblet]

I guess one might be Skif doesn't want to discard his personal weapon. But also he will end up using it in some cutscenes, to keep it vague enough to be nonspoilery

[hazy harness]

It could just be removed from your active inventory slot and put in your backpack
Burer does inventory management

[wraith socket]

I've heard that. Hopefully that is something GSC will adjust.

[chilly timber]

It's definitely not a horrible game by any stretch but the bugged spawns and systems are killing it for me. Sure I can always go back to the OG trilogy if I want fancy AI and such but I was so hoping this would be the 'be all end all' experience lol.

[radiant hedge]

im just artifact hunting

[static compass]

It's Skif's personal pistol that he brought with him, it was his sidearm when he was in the army (this isn't a spoiler, it's literally the description of the gun)

[vocal salmon]

it never needs repair. You're never without a gun.

[mossy frigate]

Request: be able to lean without wielding gun

[gusty drum]

Yeah I know. But it bugged me why I wasn't being able to put it out. Thing about cutscenes make sense

[graceful lake]

I'll get on that

[molten cove]

add grenades to that list as well

[wraith socket]

It's in your key bindings to assign both choices.

[raven laurel]

You do have to repair it. Maybe that changes by difficulty or something?

[eternal lagoon]

Have they acknowledged the bug in Back to the Slag Heap quest where you need to head to the Sawmill, and when you do nothing happens, then 30 seconds later you get teleported inside and you can't do anything.

[naive rover]

Make an official report just in case

[molten cove]

you do have to repair it, but at least it's free - however it never broke on me either (yet)

[warm mason]

Is there a channel to report bugs in here?

[raven laurel]

Wharr it costs me money

[vocal salmon]

Huh, weird. I used it a bunch but never had the option to repair when I checked.

[stark palm]

Anyone know where to find the artbook on PC?

[misty lotus]

Also request to stop forcing me to lean when I don't want to. Aiming down sights near a corner does not mean I want to pop my head out and get shot

[brave marten]

https://support.stalker2.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[tight pulsar]

guys where can i find the soundtrack and the artwork provided with the ultime edition?

[gusty drum]

Just was looking for it

[primal salmon]

4070ti super stalker edition 1000 euros, lord have mercy

[stark palm]

If you got the game on steam the OST shows as game DLC and in steams soundtrack category

[velvet bloom]

PSA For Stalker 2: It seems that completing a quest for the character "Quiet" in the Cordon causes your save to fail to load. It seems to have happened to me and others on Reddit are starting to agree.

[raven laurel]

Is there a place to report bugs? Theres a bug currently that replaces the scope of my AK with the scope of the SVD when I have both equipped. The scope of the SVD is horrible

[earnest haven]

Please report it if you haven't already

[vocal salmon]

#⭐┃nospoilers_general message

[copper haven]

Needa create a ticket in the discord tbh. Cause I don't like jumping thru the hoops of going to a website, creating an account blah blah, I just assume someone else has had my issue and has reported it for me.

[tawny comet]

It would cool if guns with really low durability could explode in your hand. Like 10% or less

[warm mason]

ty

[raven laurel]

Oh shiii I was doing this quest before I got off for the night

[brave marten]

haha far cry 2 memories

[velvet bloom]

Yeah, I've already reported my crash on load issue, and have just added in commentary once I learned that completing that quest might have been the trigger. @raven laurel , if you can do me a favor, can you create a manual save just before you complete that quest (so you can revert to a safe save), and then complete that mission and see if it breaks your save? That would pretty much confirm it, and if you could then add that report to the Stalker Support, you'd be a hero doing your part.

[ruby warren]

I had to switch back to english VA because the subtitles started bugging out

[smoky lichen]

just get to OST and click download

[raven laurel]

Yeah I will at what point should I perform the save? Just before turning it in to Quiet?

[velvet bloom]

I honestly don't know for sure. I know you turn it into Sidorovich at the end (I believe it's the quest where you retrieve the Portable PSI Emitter). If possible, maybe before you enter the tunnels (Assuming we're thinking of the same quest.) And then make a few saves as you continue on so we can figure out if it's the quest end or something in the middle?

[sweet bolt]

It doesn't seem to always do it, I finished that quest a while back and i'm still able to save/load fine

[raven laurel]

Yeah this is the one I’m doing currently, just about to go into some train tunnels before I turned it off. I’ll test it tomorrow! Where should I report the bug?

[zinc zinc]

Out of curiosity, Are random emissions in the game or are they purely tied to scripted events? (I haven't played enough to encounter one yet)

[velvet bloom]

That's unfortunate. Did you happen to kill the Poltergeist in those tunnels and the Burer at the end? I'm just trying to think of what might be triggering it that you may have done differently as some of the stuff is optional to do. Are you using Gamepass on PC to play?

@raven laurel report it on the Support website if you can Thank you!: https://support.stalker2.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

You don't need an account or anything. I recommend attaching your save files too if possible.

[fossil cairn]

random, though I think the first one is scripted

[ruby warren]

It seems to be random for me but there are scripted ones

[vocal salmon]

I think they are on a schedule. I went through one, died after, reloaded, and it happened at the same time.

[sweet bolt]

I am on Steam, my only DLC is the preorder thing, I killed literally every enemy in that area, handed it in, responded to Quiet about his "bonus" after handing it in, and then proceeded to forget about it for a bit. I didn't make a save directly after. I also do have a few mods. (Stalker Optimizer, Reduced Melee and Jump Stamina Cost, Grok's Balanced Difficulties, Grok's Modular Mutants Health, and Jake's Longer Days 2x)

[raven laurel]

No I haven’t been in the tunnels yet and I’m on Series X 🙂 very glad I saw your message about the bug now lol. I might’ve came back to a bricked save

[zinc zinc]

Was that as part of a mission?

[pliant flume]

I gotta say, I love the little details like the bubble anomalies in Zaton f.e., if the devs are truthfull, it's such a shame for their launch to bomb with A-life being randomly bugged. If they aren't thruthfull however, then I wouldn't understand why they did launch it this way, any way I could see it happen is time constraint

[frank rivet]

Does anyone know how to fix the sprinting glitch

[wintry umbra]

Microsoft probably didn't let them delay again

[wise blaze]

damned if they do, damned if they dont.
people wouldve rioted if there was yet another delay.

[vocal salmon]

No. I had the obviously scripted one that teaches you what an emission is and how to avoid it in Zalissya.
And a few more now while wandering.

[fickle falcon]

Anyone know anything about Lab X16 in Yantar?

[zinc zinc]

Okay thats encouraging to hear, Thanks

[pliant flume]

I do still think it's mighty, mighty suspicious the way communication/launch is handled towards A-life tho

[wraith socket]

STALKER 2 Performance Benchmark Review - 35 GPUs Tested https://www.techpowerup.com/review/stalker-2-fps-performance-benchmark/5.html

[stable rapids]

wow... no gtx 750 ti... bad optimization

[pliant flume]

First time I've seen chat so dead haha, it's almost uncanny (reminds me of something ironically)

[steep osprey]

hang on I got this. Insert random racial slur

[cloud gyro]

A-Life

[wintry umbra]

Why can't you craft in this game like gamma? And where's A-life?

[stable rapids]

where is A-Life? it made both Zone and Discord feel dead

[ruby warren]

Im glad the chats chilling out, it was pretty painfully obvious that most of the people commenting here a few hours ago weren't even old enough to drive

[wraith socket]

February 19, 2013; 11 years ago

[vocal salmon]

Welp saw that spoiler before it got yanked. Well done chat member.

[pliant flume]

Eyyo besides A-life I do miss crafting fr tho, I don't remember if crafting was in the OG's?

[wise blaze]

no

[pearl jacinth]

it was not

[torpid mica]

Hi bois I'm back

[hearty ravine]

I just hated how bad the slowmode was (and still is)

[wintry umbra]

There wasn't crafting. I do miss the arena though but I haven't played enough to see if it's there

[fluid abyss]

Stalker 2 is very similar to the trilogy, to a fault

Things are so similar that niche old problems/annoyances still happen

Areas that are improved in Stalker 2 is immediately offset by new problems

[stable rapids]

where is A-Life? dont come back til you bring back A-Life

[pliant flume]

Yea it's there. Yea I miss making 9x39 myself hehe, ah well I love the process of watching mods roll in regardless, I won't break my back over it

[wise blaze]

it is

has anyone managed to get the journalist stash down in the swamps?
i cant get to it. i assume that area is blocked by story stuff? seems to by in the old CS base.

[sweet bolt]

It isn't blocked by story or anything

[stable prism]

jesus i had been bugged and stuck at Richter calling prof.lodochka for 5hours and no any progressing
i tried to reload save which i save 3hours ago and still not working how should i do to progress this damn main quest

[cloud gyro]

Just wanted to check in on that A-Life anime speech you've been writing...how's it coming along?

[languid obsidian]

is it possible to modify the reload speed?

[torpid mica]

Oh don't worry, it'll come

[wise blaze]

do i go to the bridge thing on the east? or more south? there seems to be some anomaly in the shacks. its like a teleport loop? not too sure.

[sweet bolt]

have you left the Lesser Zone yet? I had assumed you were there you just couldn't get in the building. You can also totally just edit your last message to bypass the slowmode for now I think lmao

[steep osprey]

Also, Im gonna be real honest, the way they distributed the Pre-Order/Deluxe/Ultimate content is real dumb. Like I got a PSZ-12 Bulat suit before I even got the pre-order Tourist suit, and prior to that I was using the Deluxe Edition Light Mercenary suit (which is still way better than the Tourist).

Like, you get the Light Mercenary before you even get the Tourist suit, and the Tourist suit sucks megabawls compared to the LM, and even upgrading it doesnt do anything to make it better. And of course the Veteran rifle is WAYYYYYYYYYY out in bumfu#k nowhere.

[hearty verge]

i wanna play the game, but after hearign about all the issues i really dont know if i wanna continue till the fix......

Sounds like the A-Life is the biggest issue i dont wanna play Slavic Cyberpunk release simulator

[torpid mica]

mawds spoliers, get the ban hammer

[kind sparrow]

I just fought a pack of dogs with a broomstick and won!

[green ether]

anomaly still an option

[pliant flume]

Ngl I ran thru Zaton and loved the scenery, but honest to god, NOTHING of danger for the full 15 minute walk from Cordon

EDIT: The bubble anomalies are super pretty tho lol

[celest goblet]

I think the distribution was done assuming you would follow the main story more or less. It has mostly made sense that way for me. Though I think in the future playthroughs I plan to just leave those stashes alone or sell the contents.

[wise blaze]

... thats. not how it works at all?
you go to where you go. its not set out in some mandatory way

@hearty verge its not that bad. im fine.

@torpid mica tf u mean spoilers? were not talking about story in any capactiy

@sweet bolt yes, i have im down there. i just cant find where to cross the water

[ashen niche]

well if you have been waiting for 10+ years you don't have to question that at all

[cobalt nexus]

This would be the game if it was backed by EA instead of Microsoft

[grizzled smelt]

Anyone else found new mutants in the game ? I fought a mutated moose but i'm not sure if they added new ones, or even cut ones like the cat, zombie, etc

[crisp fulcrum]

the game is very good but this bizarre drop in the RTX 4060 which appears to be vram, where i am forced to reopen the game

[kind sparrow]

Does anyone else press O for detector and pull up the PDA instead? Lol

[mental river]

@dire dagger

[pliant flume]

Honest to god it's a wild ride between mixed feelings. It is fun tho, just not ''great''
Still I can't stop playing lol

[primal salmon]

wrong place wrong time

[steep osprey]

I mean "you go to where you go" is still relative in terms of distance/time to get there, and they still lock areas depending on story progression. (Cant get Swamps (monolithian's stash) or Duga stash until later on)

[hearty verge]

i havent been tbh, i barely played the old games nor anomaly/gamma. i was hyped being that i think it is a good shooter shooter wise still grenade spam aside but its mainly just something to play because most games now do not offer satisfaction to stay fun long term

[vocal salmon]

FPS started locking up when i looked at one specific guy in a settlement...
Went to options, turned "hair" all the way down.
FPS restored.

...Dude was wearing a hat. 🙃

[young schooner]

How big is the Stash box by the bed?

[inner lake]

is this an intended behavior? like something is when people complain about spongy enemies, but this is something else... it kills you on one-two hits but ate all my ammo

[sweet bolt]

I honestly do not remember having any difficulty getting to the area the journalist stash is at, only figuring out how to get to the stash itself. There isn't even a body of water on the road to it, unless the journalist stashes are randomized. Oh shit nevermind I see the issue, the road that stretches out east from the Lesser Zone has a little land bridge going over the water

[willow ocean]

Had to switch to fallout 4 due to lack of gore. Someone needs to make a mod to add more gore

[wise blaze]

ok thx that actually answers my question rn. since im trying to get the swamps but cant cross. was told by someone else it wasnt locked by story.

[ashen niche]

then don't play rn lol it's not in it's best state

[mental river]

game tries to be more grounded in reality most of the guns in this game would not gore anyone only if you went out of your way to mag dump them.

[urban sand]

If you worked on health/damage numbers for Chimaera, consider yourself an opp

[cloud gyro]

Yeah bro I think you just suck

[steep osprey]

Yeah I just tried it too lmao. Grabbed the Veteran just now and tried to get the Swamps stash but cant get there because you have to cross the teleporting house. Im sure its locked behind a story quest, just like access to the Chemical Plant building.

[exotic mural]

i expected there to be a clear sky suit at the clear sky base... instead there was just an RPG 🧐

[hearty verge]

obv jsut kinda sucks, might try the nexus mods after the fix tho maybe those will help.

Its still just baffling why they released it withotu A-Life being in proper working order tho lol, staple of the games and it doesnt even work in what could be a groundbreaking game

[willow ocean]

Reality would have more gore still

[wise blaze]

ok i knew i wasnt crazy haha. that seems to be an anomaly.

oh slash just said up above that we might need to go east from lesser zone.
but that doesnt make sense. so idk

[sand bear]

Just play and find out if you have fun!

Or Play soc or cop or do a gamma run and then pick it up next week. Most important is just have fun dude

[mental river]

@willow ocean not fallout levels of gore. again its not the artists intent

@hearty verge play the game form your own opinions just play it on gamepass for 11$ and see if you like it

[brave marten]

i dont get the weird obsession with dismemberment and having a bunch of gore. seeing some blood and your enemy drop dead with bullet holes in them feels more grounded i suppose

[solid cosmos]

I just got the achievement for running from a chimera.

I didn't even know I was being chased by a chimera...

[primal salmon]

Gore option should be added

[willow ocean]

I have obsession with lot of gore so just a preference to have more

[ashen niche]

yeah i would say atleast wait for the a-life "bug-fix" before playing.

[wraith socket]

Make sure your key bindings are correct and not assigned to two different things.

[hearty verge]

im gonna play metro exodus while i wait, ill probably launch Stalker 2 tomorrow and do some side quests still when i put my new processor in just to test performance but yknow

@mental river i already have the game........im not saying its a complete dung pile but its jsut unfortunate to pretty much be playing an EA version of it bugs is one thing not having core stuff working is another

[wise blaze]

bro is 13 y/o max

[sweet bolt]

Straight to the East of Zalissya there is a straight road that goes off into the big river. Slightly above that is a little land bridge that connects to the other side of the river.

[vocal salmon]

Guys should I take a sip of my water right now?
I mean, it's sitting on my desk, within reach. Water is p good and stuff, I've had it a couple times before, but I'm afraid a spider might have climbed in the straw and laid eggs so when I go to take a sip I get a mouthful of tiny baby spiders and they crawl in my body and turn it into a big spider mansion.
What do you thing?

[steep osprey]

Nah I looked it up lmao. Theres a quest involved, itll be called "Ad Astra Per Aspera", and you do have to go through a 3rd teleport house at the very end, but youll be able to make it through once you get through part of the quest.

[cloud gyro]

Don't come near me IRL

[kind sparrow]

The thing is I can't unbind O from opening my PDA, it's set on I by default and I can't do anything about it

[copper haven]

Yo I heard A life was added?

[graceful lake]

I'm gonna come

[brave marten]

to me a-life is there BUT:

• no offline simulation
• random spawn system is overtuned to hell and back
• things only spawn way too close to the player, would feel miles better if the spawn bubble around skif was at the very least twice in size

i also do think that no offline sim is more or less taking away 50% of what makes a-life so fascinating and this is in no way a 2.0 version or an upgrade but yeah

[elfin mauve]

Does every human npc have x ray vision of something?!

[finite dragon]

Here it comes!!

[fading valley]

Shotguns could dismember at close range especially on limbs but i dont really want too much gore i mean they can mod it in if they want

[willow ocean]

25

[wise blaze]

that only leads to the sawmps. not past what i need.

@willow ocean absolute cap.

[mental river]

Yea people are abit too desensitized to gore as a whole. I prefer how the game handles violence. its not glorified or meant to its dark, gritty, and feels real. even the guys you kill even have real names.

@hearty verge my b. if you have performance related issues check the pinned post in this channel about how to fix performance the mods they put in there if installed correctly should fix any performance issues you may have. I have had a wonderful time playing the game so far about 20 hours in

[exotic mural]

lowkey i should be able to throw artifacts at enemies

like, let me chuck a Kolobok at someone and melt them into a puddle of acid.

[loud crater]

guys i have a question im looking to buy the game and im looking at the normal vs the ultimate addition but its not clear whats in what ive heard its just a few missions and gun SKINS not guns them selves could i get some info

[sweet bolt]

Is there a third journalist stash?

[primal salmon]

#📰┃announcement message

[fading valley]

I mean in the gamma discord they found evidence of alife but its disabled

[weak delta]

i have several distributed throughout the zone but i have ultimate edition. it depends on edition i believe

[wise blaze]

its skins. you wont get anything else that you cant get elsewhere. you just will get stuff "easier"

@fading valley thats not true. its 100% in the game. its just not functioning at 100%
its absolutely not disabled tho.
gamma people have a hard on for hating this game. plenty full on wanted it to fail

[sweet bolt]

I see, my bad I only had two and assumed there weren't more

[hearty verge]

shouldnt after tomorrow hopefully, my processor is old so thats my main issue

[mental river]

even op rigs are struggling just look to the guide if you have issues

[brave marten]

you remember in what channel that was?
always interesting to read whatever modders find about this game's inner workings

[fading valley]

Ah i see i mean at least they did find evidence of alife i guess it just needs to be fixed

[edgy gate]

Anyone know what settings to tweak to make night actually dark? y'know increase the fear factor? This area doesn't really have much Light pollution. So it makes no sense to be as bright as it is on a dark clouded night

[sand bear]

Metro is awesome I did a play through last year. Definitely a good time and gets you into this survival headspace.

Hope you have fun dude! Times suck for us gamers,

[loud crater]

thanks so its just new skins and any future dlc and at a probobal 40 a dlc that should be worth it

[timber locust]

The fact that the game is already great af but the performance fixes and patches coming fells so good

[crystal lodge]

metro exodus is pretty fire. the other 2 games i enjoyed but they might not be for everyone

[brave marten]

... any reason in particular? grok himself already made a few (very useful) balance mods for s2 lol

[wise blaze]

thats funny. everyone else has the opposite complaint

@brave marten grok wasnt one afaik. its more of just the typical "gamma better than OG" so some were just being idiots

[mental river]

i personally trust the devs more than crackpot theories on steam forums or reddit. If the games out for more than a few months and A Life still borked then i think its safe to say it may have not made it to the full release. But im sure AI Life will be here in just a few weeks of hotfixes. The devs care, more than people think

[visual iris]

gimmie patch

[fading valley]

I have a pic i can dm you

[finite dragon]

Ok I got a question is there any way I can find a suppressor for the shah's mate SMG? Or nah

[loud crater]

so whats the consensus on playability is it worth buying now or waiting a month

[fiery vault]

Since ALife wasnt apart of the upcoming patch notes, guess it's safe to assume it's at the very least 2 weeks out. How absolutely disappointing

[swift garden]

is there a fix for the game crashing during emissions, other than the mod?

[wise blaze]

its just fine. theres some hicupps. thats really it

@fiery vault no. thats not even how that works.

[edgy gate]

Found it for whatever reason my pc has been rocking the worlds weirdest settings on it's graphics . just reset and OH god does my pc look different. Hard to believe I was playing and doing everything with it so darn bright

[brave marten]

oh sure go ahead, thank you

[hasty plover]

I just wanted to come congratulate GSC Gameworld on the launch of the game and that the game is so good, even with the issues that are being worked on.

[robust vapor]

hows my favorite lil group of brain scorchers doin ❤️

[grim spruce]

no i'd agree its probably 2-4 weeks out

[dusky berry]

Sooo, no performance patch soon... They need to adress the memory leak

[crystal lodge]

stalker 2 is great when nobody's in ur ear saying its bad

[fiery vault]

Well, their patch notes for the week do not include any fixes to any of the major gripes folks are having about the game, so Id love to hear what you have to say

[fading valley]

Theres an error when i try sending it to you

[wise blaze]

thats not what i meant. i meant the part that it was not around as he implies. my bad. coulda been more clear. brain got ahead of my typing.

[sand bear]

Some Code has been pulled out of files. It may not be everything.

However. What has been found paints a picture of some akin to an advanced AI dynamic spawner and not a robust ai system managing persistent ai life, goals, missions in online and offline (non rendered).

This is really all we know. Regress have fun. If spawner kill your vibe take a break wait for fix.

I'll wait for the Devs to cook ❤️

[brave marten]

yeah just asking if there was another reason behind the weird hivemind they got going on over there. oh well

@dusky berry the patch they announced (coming next week) addresses those apparently

[young vale]

do you see evidence of it working ingame when you play?

[pliant flume]

What'd you change? I usually see better at night w/o flashligt than when I use it. I can usually see perfectly at night, I'd also want it darker

[edgy gate]

my graphics had a custom light setting thing. I just turned off custom and everything became better. Gonna replay all my games on this and see how awesome they look now maybe night time will be dark again and light rays look more beautiful

[hasty plover]

There might be a hot fix before the first patch next week according to the faq

[fading valley]

Ah i see

[brave marten]

very sorry, had dms for friends only. i changed it now

[vocal salmon]

Wait, have you been in a place that doesn't have much light pollution?
It can be absolutely bizarre how well you can actually see by the nightsky especially with the moon.

However, in heavy foliage, ain't no way.

[pliant flume]

What do you mean with graphics and custom light setting tho..? Your NVIDIA settings?

[glossy wave]

Stalker 2 literally is just Far Cry New Dawn with mutants. Note that I’m actually having fun.

[dusky berry]

Anyone fiddled around with nvidia 3D settings?

[fiery vault]

Yeah, while Im pretty critical of the game and it's release, this is a braindead take

[autumn dawn]

Does the main story go through all zones?

[wise blaze]

so true.
emissions, anomalies, artifacts, etc are in far cry
cars and chainsaws among other things are def in stalker

[hasty plover]

All in all I’m happy with the game but even happier they are working hard and fast to fix these issues

[visual iris]

GIMMIE PATCH

[mental river]

balls

[high kernel]

We're not still arguing over A-Life, right?

[fading valley]

Hmm still dosent work tho

[vocal salmon]

Scrollback is free.

[fiery vault]

Half of the critics of this game are braindead troglodytes.

Half of the GSC apologists are man children in need of validation from other grownups

[glossy wave]

It’s just goofy when you look at how you explore and how it’s presented compared to previous games and the animation style. The spawns and stamina can bite me though.

[torn finch]

ikr? it was confirmed to be a thing in the gamma discord, people have posted to reddit that it is a thing its just turned off, people just wanna argue and that's FOOLISH

[robust vapor]

I am NOT a man children 😡

[oblique swan]

I prefer the term "Manling"

[wary quest]

Stalker 2 is a stalker game, and it feels like one.

which to be honest is already pretty good considering how modern old saga "revivals" end up being, maybe they release as decent games, but they could be called anything else and no one would be the wiser.

At least I'm glad they managed to capture that feeling once again, more than a decade later.

That being said, it's not better than its predecessors, especially COP and that is a pretty low bar, they could've at least improved on their previous games by a decent margin.

[mental river]

and what does that make you the guy complaining over what people do?

[graceful lake]

I prefer the term hobbit

[vocal salmon]

I am a man child, singular.

[fiery vault]

Whats your problem with how exploration is presented?

[exotic mural]

explain to me how a bloodsucker can tank an RPG to the face

[wise blaze]

mutant

[fading valley]

Get a hp balance mod i put mine on 40-50 for bloodsuckers

[oblique swan]

Its just built different.

[finite dragon]

as a COP apologist i will not stand for this COP hate

[spiral wagon]

is there a place on this server i can post clips, just unloaded on a single bloodsucker, completely unbalanced game, fights like that make it unfun

[glossy wave]

I like the difference in shape because I’ve said what old games are like but it does also feel dumbed down into a modern tactical shooter theme park. Yet I’m having fun regardless. No spoilers or cheats either (ok I cheated on the Army Warehouse keypad I couldn’t find the code in my pad)

[lyric cave]

idk but the lack of a-life completely kills the "stalker feel" as far as i'm concerned

[wary quest]

Cop is my fav on the trilogy, but it's old as balls, they at least need to improve upon their best design from a decade Ago.

[fiery vault]

CoP is great. Who the hell hates CoP?

[warped swan]

If fixing A-Life is going to take a long time, couldn't we at least get a tweak in the patch that makes the enemies spawn like 400m further away? Seems like the least they could do and it would help a ton compared to what we have now

[exotic mural]

do you have any idea how many meters 400 meters is

[wraith socket]

Please refrain from name calling or being demeaning towards other members here.

[normal quail]

@granite mortar i summon you

[finite dragon]

a surprising amount of people actually, shocked me to learn just how many people think CoP is the worst out of the 3 (when i thought most people believed it was clear sky was the worst)

[wise blaze]

uh prolly like. at least 7 meters

[spiral wagon]

this game feels like it should have been released as early access, them calling this a finished game is insulting to finished games

[primal salmon]

CS fanboys

[robust vapor]

idk if youve been here the past 3 days but its been exclusively that lol

[mental river]

wait do i know you from D2LFG?

[wary quest]

Ehhh, the "finished" concept has sadly changed through the years, this is at least better than other fiascos in the industry.

[rapid furnace]

Is the hotfix going to help with the fps drops?

[warped swan]

I don't care how much the value itself would be, the point was that further away than what it is now.

[short rose]

cop is just so short tho
