Stealing things and garbage? Bandit win.

[dire ingot]

PSA, fast travel removes weapon upgrades and you cannot re-purchase them

[ruby warren]

I have been summoned

[faint owl]

is it me or is the stealth kinda not good

[crude bison]

umm you sure

[stark palm]

Did the patch happen? I was at work earlier and swore people here said the patch dropped

[coarse sparrow]

Like one other stalker said in the chat, at some point the game melts like skin on irradiated face.

[inland venture]

Anyone know where to buy 762x39

[solemn stirrup]

another problem with the game to the list

[edgy moth]

So I've heard

[twin condor]

Are you sure the Tech you talked to doesn't have the skill to upgrade that weapon?

[wicked badger]

LMAO i just got weird balled 😂😂😭. just glued to the bloody ground and they threw a grenade at me and there was nothing i could do 😂

[carmine raptor]

lmao i didn't mean resevoir dogs orange, it's just my stupid way of referring to senor trump xd

[tulip vapor]

I think you can get all normal ammo from the two rostok gun runners

[dire ingot]

Yes, lost laser sights and mag on my shotgun, but still shows up as upgraded at the tech

[bitter lintel]

I just saw an invisible man peeing, it was strangest bug I've encountered - caught it on video

[crude bison]

I haven’t had that issue

[wind veldt]

I had a bunch of guns change and pop up in my inventory

[carmine raptor]

lmao i saw a dude just walking at me... pissing... menacingly...

[coarse sparrow]

yeah, this is very common

[tulip vapor]

Enemy spawning bug where you get their gun.

[onyx echo]

Oh thank goodness someone else saw the invisible wizzer besides me

[wary vapor]

||where can i store stuff like a bank in this game when everything is being attacked lol||

[dire ingot]

same i randomly got a .308 sniper out of nowhere equiped lmao

[hybrid rose]

does anybody know what gun the buket s-2 is based on?

[inland venture]

Never found them selling it. One does sell 762x54, though. LMG uses th x39

[tender pier]

I hope you all report the bugs as well and not just mention them here.

[slow raven]

Anyone had a bug where they can't sprint? I've reinstalled, repaired install, changed keybind, and tried multiple fixes I read online. I also loaded a save from four hours ago...nothing fixes it. I just lost the ability to sprint completely.

[bold pike]

Inb4 he's overencumbered

[crude bison]

I had that I loaded a earlier save and that fixed it

[finite dragon]

Are u sure u aren’t just outta stamina lol

[vale orchid]

Skorpion VZ 61, or a reimagined version of it.

[ember summit]

Not 100% sure but looks to me like OTs-02 Kiparis.

[carmine raptor]

OTs-02 🙂

[hybrid rose]

ooh, a 1991 gun, most advanced STALKER weapon

[wicked badger]

do the legendary artifacts respawn with emissions?

[coarse sparrow]

Gun stats in this game are way too weird, why some shotguns having better penetration that others if they shoot same ammunition?

[finite dragon]

Bc videy game logic. Wouldn’t be as fun if every gun just had the same stats

[kind blade]

does my pc suck or is there just bad optimization right now

[naive tree]

guys wheres the update

[whole turtle]

are you using slug rounds?

[slender perch]

game runs like doodoo

[ripe atlas]

Man the bones or this game are so effin good. Some of the best gun play. Just need better enemy AI, homies shooting lasers through gaps in wheel wells.

[tender pier]

Many aspects are in need of tweaking. A meds and ammo dragon seems to have flown over and sneezed all over the zone, and i do wish i could make use of chairs, beds and generally just sit down where i want, instead of sitting crouched like i´m sneaking like a wierdo O_o

[ember summit]

You can sit at some campfires and play guitar.

[carmine raptor]

i have found a single spot in the zone you can sit on besides at a campfire xd

[wicked badger]

you mean slav squatting? slavs don't sit

[coarse sparrow]

in the oven

[finite dragon]

I am just now finding out there’s weapon camos????? How do u get weapon camos??????

[naive tree]

did yall noticed how the right arm looks weird on the shadows when you run with a gun? tryin’ to trigger everyone’s ocd rn…

[ripe quail]

unique weapons or preorder+ultimate edition weapons

[tender pier]

Yeah, but i would love to make use of safe houses, tunnels etc when out scavenging, instead of just stand starring at the walls waiting for morning. In a perfect world, i would like to bring a lantern or light a campfire, clean my gear, sew my suit, reload mags and cook food.

[wary vapor]

so u can store all ur loot in yellow chests beside beds?

[halcyon juniper]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[finite dragon]

If ur referring to how you can see a trail of skifs hand when you turn that’s just ghosting which is probably being caused by ur upscaling method I’m on TSA and I see it

[ember summit]

Agreed though, would add to the immersion if you could sit and clean weapons and patch up your gear and what not, have a vodka and a smoke while listening to the radio.

[sand plume]

So it's basically impossible to play in your native resolution and not use upscaling stuff right?.

[tender pier]

Personally i don´t use these chest much because of their ability to magically teleport what you put in it to the next location :/ When an option comes to make each chest it´s own inventory, i will for sure go for it. I feel as it is now removes much of the planning and tactics.

[scarlet ember]

I wanna play five finger fillet in safe houses during emissions

[naive tree]

nope, not ghosting at all, i’m actually using TSR. the thing i’m trying to say is that the running character animation looks weird on the shadows bc the right arm goes up to the characters head to give the “running animation pov” to the player, but when you see urself in the shadow just looks odd…

[coarse sparrow]

I can see laser having some weird ghosting when sprinting, it turns into like 3 lasers if you pay attention

[finite dragon]

OHHH yeah i did see that yesterday i actually got a laugh outta how weird it looked lmao

[pulsar hemlock]

Better than in past games lol trust me

[naive tree]

bruh come on u couldn’t even see ur own shadow in the past games…

[ebon mantle]

it wont let me move, my character is just running in place, whats the fix for it?

[modest cairn]

Load last save

[smoky lichen]

Hey guys, I'm trying to sleep to skip softlock on Island, i found a bed nearby but the button is non active to "Sleep". why? i can't sleep there or I can't sleep on the day? Please help

[quiet zinc]

can we PLEASE get night vision i'm begging

[lyric mica]

spoilers chat bro cmon

[pulsar hemlock]

I specfically remember running like a naruto character or the char arms were always straight down and he leaned forward

[coarse sparrow]

#❔┃main-quest

[ebon mantle]

i did, it still doesnt let me move.

[golden harness]

patch tomorrow?

[shut gulch]

Lol, I got suspicious when approaching a checkpoint and circled around, and sure enough I found a sniper hiding in a building nearby. Yay, free SVD

[modest cairn]

That’s gay. Do a full game restart I guess

[hybrid rose]

is it normal for the echo detector to fully light up for non existent artifacts?

im right where it keeps beeping at me the fastest and i'm seeing no artifact and no anomalies

[stoic cloud]

Every single time I launch the game it's compiling shaders

[coarse sparrow]

P.A.T.C.H.

[smoky anvil]

anyone else have a weird glitch where guns just spawn in your inventory?

[pseudo flicker]

Hey has anyone else have the issue or bug where you'll load a save and cannot move or do very much other than shoot and stand in place?

[carmine raptor]

some artifacts can spawn out of bounds to the player. if you don't see any anomalies, it could just be radiation anomaly perhaps

[fiery rover]

Hello guys, does anyone know a fix for a quest not completing? I accepted to kill some mutants from Harpy in Yaniv, but the quest wont complete

[crude bison]

could be below or above you

[hybrid rose]

well, whatever it was, swapping detectors and back crashed the game lmao

also open field, only below possibly

maybe a restart'll let me nab it lol

[coarse sparrow]

I had one artifact spawn inside a cooking stove and also inside a deep fissure

[robust vapor]

I saw one in a laundry basket

[final orbit]

<---- Ward Moment

[carmine raptor]

daily reminder to those who may never find out, u can stealthkill animation with a knife from behind if u heavy attack (might work with light too)

[proud herald]

It does work with light

[rugged axle]

What difficult should I play to not shoot rubber pellets

[finite dragon]

My life changed after I discovered this idk why it’s not something the game tells you

[hybrid rose]

bro is skif

[coarse sparrow]

veteran obv

[wanton trout]

how are the sodium levels currently

[pearl jacinth]

just updated my graphics drivers. time to recompile every shader

[carmine raptor]

it's very fun. coupled with the realization that stealth while janky and finnicky also has some cool redeemable parts. i've had ai "remember" my last position and throwing grenades where i wasnt anymore and i was able to sneak up behind them even in alert state (but didnt try stealth kill, would be nice to see if can be down even in combat state)

[proud herald]

The problem with knife stealth kills is they dont seem to be silent. Every time i do one other guys turn around and look. Maybe the body hitting the ground makes noise? Idk

[tribal hazel]

how do you recompile shaders? dont they always recompile every startup?

[final orbit]

hehe who likes my profile pic

[dense hatch]

how's it going y'all

[pearl jacinth]

after second launch, they take less time to do so; assuming you're on the same graphics driver. this is undone after updating drivers

[stoic cloud]

Does the artifact at the pol depot even exist

[marble cedar]

they "warmup" every reboot. only compile when there is no shader cache

[hybrid rose]

wish i could post screenshots to help explain my current artifact finding problems

[carmine raptor]

see if you can get an opportunity to do a stealth kill when it rains. i read a tooltip regaarding noise and stealth with rain, hopefully functionality is not borked

[thin lantern]

I've strung together stealth kills ok, at day, without rain

[proud herald]

Idk, maybe im just unlucky 🫠

[wooden dust]

Anyone have the issue where some artifacts just don't spawn in certain locations? Eg I've had one just not spawn at all in the poisonous hole despite the scanner saying it's right where I am and an unmarked anomalous bubble field on the Wild Island

[hybrid rose]

i'm also on wild island, got an artifact right where im standing apparently, yet all i see is grass and a distant toxic gas anomaly

[finite dragon]

The stealth is one of my only real gripes with the game aside from the obvious performance issues. I hate how sensitive the ai detection is especially the little white bar that pops up on the screen even just when ur close to an enemy. It makes it impossible to tell when they actually see you and when ur just close enough to trigger it. Yesterday i had a part where I was sneaking in somewhere and i literally made no noise at all and i was walking down a flight of stairs and outta nowhere an enemy came around looking for me like he knew i was there and started shooting at me and ruined the whole thing. I have no idea how he knew I was there it had to of been a glitch or the detection is just crazy sensitive

[tulip fossil]

i have a question related to an area of which i keep dying? ive kinda come here to seek a little help on it

[marble cedar]

ive found that Axxii's stealth mod works extremely well for this issue

[proud herald]

The first tutorial artifact didnt spawn my first time through it, had to restart the game

[lyric mica]

late but sometimes artifacts can be above you and itll do that, i believe the scanner only works horizontally

[quiet zinc]

happens a bunch to me, like in the electric anomaly in rostok. Could be a bug, could just be an extra slippery artifact

[bold pike]

MFW no patch to come home from the night shift to

[deft lake]

I have decided that I'm going to do a Veteran save file with only Skif's PTM.

I hate myself.

[carmine raptor]

while i don't deny also experiencing issues, were you walking slowly? crouch walking even quickly I THINK makes noise that alerts enemies, additionally they don't know you're there if the detection bar doesn't fill up. it grows to fill a certain kinda semi circle. definitely finnicky at times. but i've had it where-- a bandit was sitting down at a fire a bit away from me near the vehicle station/warehouse in cordon and he was facing my direction, the meter filled up a little like halfway but he didnt get up and i was able to lean back into cover, take a grenade out, throw it at the campfire and kill em all. furthermore, unconfirmed or tested but im fairly sure some enemies can just spawn in an alert combat state meaning they know your last location at the very least

[pearl jacinth]

good thing it's one of the best weapons in the game

[final orbit]

and turn off HUD if you really hate yourself

[abstract blade]

What is this AI jank fest?? Lol. I feel like im playing deadside.

[bold pike]

Every time you die, a midget has to punch you in the balls as well

[granite mango]

What are your favorite action horror games that aren't STALKER or Metro?

[timid canyon]

purchased AI asset

[hybrid rose]

i'm in an open field

(also damn, can this slowmode be reduced, two whole minutes is a lot between posts)

[finite dragon]

I was crouch walking slowly and the detection meter never even showed up on the screen that’s what’s weird like there’s no reason he should’ve known I was there and yet he came around the corner aim locked on me. Scared the absolute hell outta me

[deft lake]

I'll play the entire game with an unmodified generic PTM out of spite then.

[pearl jacinth]

more action: Trepang2
more horror: Project Zomboid (i think)

[worn oar]

[carmine raptor]

yeah thatll for sure happen. sucks when it does. feels great to get some working stealth going when you can

[marble cedar]

Project Zomboid is a 10/10. Build 42 needs to hurry up so i can drop another 1000 hours

[proud herald]

Enemies will come to investigate if they hear a noise, might have kicked a can or some thing

[bold pike]

Depending on your preference of Horror - Kenshi

Otherwise Dead Space

[dry mirage]

i keep getting random weapons equipped and added to my inv, am i the only one having that issue ??? i just got like 4 sniper rifle 😭

[ripe quail]

what is the point of finiding a blueprint after the pont of no return?!?!?!?

[pearl jacinth]

after updating my graphics drivers, i feel like my performance has slightly improved.

[carmine raptor]

has anyone tried luring enemies with sound with a bolt similar to metal gear games and empty magazines? if not i will try when i play later. or if someone tries in the meanwhile let me know.

[bold pike]

Yes you are the only person out of 1.5-2m players having it

[marble cedar]

its an "anomaly" ||bug||. guns that were supposed to be given to npcs that are spawning in are being added to player inventories.

[daring storm]

Don't forget to download more ram.

[dry mirage]

ah yes the sarcastic clown, @marble cedar thanks

[proud herald]

That dwight guys antistutter mod seemed to work pretty well for me. It was buged on gamepass version but i think its fixed in latest version

[lyric mica]

https://downloadmoreram.com/

[stark palm]

Good luck

[finite dragon]

If this is actually the case then that’s actually pretty cool but if it’s just a glitch that is entirely unpredictable then that’s unfortunate 💀

[crystal bear]

They need to come out with a patch soon bc I can not not play for this long

[hexed pebble]

any good mods out today?

[bold pike]

If I don't get a patch imma tweet putin to make a real zone

[glass lagoon]

Stalker, remember to wash your hands.

[fading arch]

Realistic feet HD texture pack mod come out today

[finite dragon]

I’d say patch will prolly either be tomorrow or Thursday surely no later than Friday.

[proud herald]

I thought patch was in december at earliest?

[carmine raptor]

patch delayed 2, less delivered than listed/promised, all in

[crystal bear]

Fr, and if he doesn’t do it. I’m gonna do it myself

[finite ingot]

surely

[bold pike]

If you need a partner in crime hmu

[wooden dust]

Fingers crossed tomorrow but probably Friday

[finite dragon]

They said this week so unless I missed something I think it’s still scheduled for this week. Last I heard they were just getting it approved to launch it or something

[autumn kelp]

Doing the arena quest is the last step bugged?

[glass lagoon]

I bet some of you stalkers have DRY LIPS.

[quiet zinc]

how do i improve my rep with malachite, already did all the side jobs available

[marble cedar]

need to progress further in the main story

[worn oar]

Nope! It's a bug. I'll report it if it's not reported yet.

[proud herald]

The first patch isnt goingnto fix any of the big stuff anyway right?

[civic blade]

Need g36c where to find one

[bold pike]

Need to complete main mission ||SIRCAA|| but funnily enough the game starts to sh1t the bed after that mission

[timid elm]

i feel attacked

[autumn kelp]

Awe 😦 i was trying to hold off on that and ohhh go figure, i did one my first playthrough but yea it does bug tf out so i started a new one to take it slower

[glass lagoon]

I only said this because... I too have dry lips right now... I'm sorry.

[queen ice]

Config merger PowerShell script. Absolutely. Goated.

[marble cedar]

read about the patch coming this week here #📰┃announcement message

[carmine raptor]

friendly fire will not be tolerated

[static compass]

[bold pike]

Mercs that spawn in Malachite often have them. Can buy them at the trader there too sometimes.

[wanton trout]

F2000 was so bad that even stalker 2 doesnt have it

[obtuse imp]

any work arounds when one of the "weird" artifacts never spawned in your save?

[marble cedar]

hopefully the patch will make progressing the main quests not bugged. if you dont want to wait, there are a lot of bandaid fixes using UETools. if you want to know more you can dm your progress blocks and i can help you

[glass lagoon]

There's a mod that makes all the weapon names their IRL name.

[real eagle]

I’ve had problems with ||Zalissya Defence|| and talking to ||Lodochko|| after that mission pretty much, is there even more bugs past that? I’ve just been using the console to fix things but it’s ruining the experience a bit so might just stop

[proud herald]

Idk what the irl gun names are anyway

[bold pike]

The game breaks a lot worse the further you get. Especially when you get sent to ||The Red Forest||

[wary vapor]

wheres the as val on the map chat

[carmine raptor]

i've pretty much stopped main quest now that it's sent me to ||chemical plant|| region as i keep hearing of save issues and i'm on xbox lmao

[errant tapir]

I doubt this is what the bug is considering it's given me a late game sniper with attachments before

[real eagle]

Alright thanks definitely gonna wait then. Shame man as I went 35 hours or so with almost no problems. Hoping for a patch tomorrow. At least the console doesn’t break achievements!

[hollow plume]

I got only 2 sniper rifles 😡 I hope they'll fix it and give me another 2

[nova palm]

I would like them to add some way to switch to third person, even if I can’t move, just to see how my armor looks in the game. It’s a shame there are no reflections in the mirrors.

[marble cedar]

where were you? ||could be one of the invisible snipers that area lock you||

[dry mirage]

be sure to unload them before throwing them

[quiet zinc]

anyone know where high cap mags for the karhod are?

[carmine raptor]

although i dont think they would add third person, and i don't think they should, i would also love to at least see what my gear looks on skif like rather than having to look at someone else using it xd and i used to mod it into older games just to look

[autumn kelp]

Where can you find upgrade parts? Just all over?

[wicked badger]

man, psi damage is unsettling

[errant tapir]

||Zaton|| in the middle of the swamp, but that's possible i guess. I sort of assume that's just a scripted event rather than an actual npc with a gun

[narrow vigil]

I found an artifact... spawned inside a silo... :(

[slender perch]

makes me want to cheeki in my breekis

[nova palm]

Maybe a preview of how it would look

[bold pike]

Really hope we get a patch soon. Just lost my 55hr save to the Psi-Radiation bug I'm gutted

[barren jasper]

30 more minutes of studying and i can play stalker 2

[quiet otter]

From the sounds of things, I’m glad I started playing call of Pripyat for now while they patch things up

[marble cedar]

yea doesn't seem to be an area that would have one of those. weird

[carmine raptor]

spawn in stashes, i think can be looted from some enemies (ones that have a pda or message or something in their loot), some traders wwill sell some. additionally some weapon upgrades at a technician (seperate from attachment system) will add stuff like a foregrip or lasers

[hexed pebble]

anybody used the longer days mod? any weird stuff happen with AI or emissions or anything?

[autumn kelp]

Okay thank you! And is there a use to pda's? Iv been saving every one i grab

[exotic crescent]

hf!!

[wicked badger]

yes, no

[finite dragon]

If it hasn’t affected you yet then it likely won’t. I think it’s more of an account specific issue. I was having the issue on gamepass but then I bought it on steam and it’s been working much better

[errant tapir]

its been fine for me though its hard to tell whats affecting the AI because they always act dumb as rocks. emissions are totally normal

[bold pike]

Stash or sell them. I keep them just in case and I like collecting sh1t

[feral panther]

||teleporter things at SIRCAA||

[carmine raptor]

so: some pdas will be required for quests, and marked with an orange ish symbol top left of the item in inventory but you can't sell them anyways or depo them in these cases i believe. otherwise they are usually just giving you stash location and/or notes in your pda to read/listen to. can just sell

[worn oar]

It will likely deal with freshly reported bugs, plus whatever the team could include with it. We'll see when the patch arrives

[autumn kelp]

When i googled it it was saying about paying a tech or someone to crack them or something but figured that was a different game, thank you!

[hollow plume]

Sell them. You won't be able to sell PDA that are still required for something.

[bold pike]

Do we have a detailed patch note breakdown yet? Or is the synopsis in the announcement channel all we got?
Hope we get a proper breakdown ASAP if that's the case. I wanna know every fix

[carmine raptor]

yeah so some guns will require a modification from the tech to allow a suppressor, sight etc to be attached but these attachments are found seperately from the tech and additionally the tech can put some attachments on your gear too that are not seperate items but rather baked into the gun

[feral panther]

was gonna ask if anyone has lag spikes with these but discord spoilers suck

[quartz wind]

trick with patches is make them not make the game worse and introducing new bugs and glitches so not rushing it out is key. get it out as fast as you can but not so fast you shoot yourself in the foot

[keen cradle]

Dunno if it exists in game, but previous Stalkers had NPC's friendly or enemies get their weapons jammed, anyone noticed this in Stalker 2 or it isnt there?

[torpid slate]

does anyone know when the first patch is coming out?

[bold pike]

I just hope they actually playtest this patch unlike the main game

[worn oar]

The team will do everything within their power to improve the general stability of the game. We all just need to be patient 🙏🏽.

[hexed pebble]

do enemies surrender if they are the last one like old games? i always liked seeing that

[finite dragon]

Are the regions of the game difficulty based or are they all just kinda the same I rlly wanna go to Pripyat but I’m still basically rocking the lesser zone load out and I feel like imma get Absolutely creamed if I go there

[blazing sedge]

just praying the memory leak issue is done and dealt with so i can ball freely while they tie up the rest of the loose ends

[carmine raptor]

they surely playtested, its impossible to not be aware of the many problems. you go to ||icarus ||like 2 hours into the game and every wall texture is clipping/flashing (on series x at least)

[worn oar]

Well, so far, I didn't have many major bugs. I have 42hrs in the game now and it's awesome

[obtuse imp]

its more or less all the same, also pripyat is story locked far as i can tell. death wall of radiation if you find a route that isnt physically blocked.

[tight fern]

I repaired my viper and suddenly I can't mount my scope on it anymore. What's up with that?

[late hazel]

Just reminding some ppl, baldurs gates first patch had over 1,000 bug fixes. 🙂

[pulsar breach]

I have 47 and I have had many unfortunately

[keen cradle]

Also, i wish not every gun looted from enemies is under 50% durability, it makes no sense

[slim finch]

Is the corundum armor worth upgrading? Looking at it stats look worse than my PSZ-9l falcon

[bold pike]

I got 55 and lost my save to the Psi-Radiation bug... was pretty far too game is a mess

[tulip vapor]

A shipped game produces a ton more info than any internal testing can ever provide

[finite dragon]

Oh fr? That sucks is it locked as in you can only go there for a certain part of the story and then not again after that or is it just locked till you reach a certain point?

[worn oar]

I kinda struggled a bit today. Apparently one area in the map is a little buggy. Game crashed a couple of times in the deepdive area basically. Other than that, no problemo

[unborn cosmos]

Hey guys any modders here?

[naive oriole]

i have this peculiar bug where randomly snipers spawn in my inventory(yellow quality)... 😄 wtf, also twice a weapon disappeared from my inventory

[carmine raptor]

its not every single gun just majority of stalkers dont do weapon maintenance or are always in combat xdddddd
@finite dragon he means its a point of no return, once you go there for story ur save is gg and you have to reload an old one if u want to freeroam

[indigo marsh]

Enemies don't surrender in the trilogy.

[worn oar]

Game allows you like plenty of saves already hehe? You sure you lost your save man?

[pulsar breach]

i've only got two towns available on my map currently 😢 and I don't know that i've seen roaming mutants in like 10+ hours

[late hazel]

I also haven't had too many bugs :), except little audio bugs here and there that are fixed with a quick save re-load.

[keen cradle]

I wish they could rebalance that at least with enemy gun's jamming during combat, but i'm unsure if it happens, i didnt notice it.

[strong basalt]

what do yall think is the best rifle?

[bold pike]

All of them are fked. The Psi-Radiation bug also persists onto older saves from before the bug happened. The whole playthrough was killed by it.

[grave shale]

is there really not a mosin nagant in this game?

[quartz wind]

games runs pretty well for me for the most part some crashes big thing is I hit a main story crash that I can't get past. I hope that get fix otherwise I am doing side quest and exopring the map having a blast but I do wish to countiue the story soon

[tulip vapor]

Depends why you're asking

[carmine raptor]

incoming request to add sidorovich inflation model mod

[obtuse imp]

also are there console commands to add items? my save didnt spawn the "weird nut" so im kinda just out here circling the fire tornado burning through 200 medkits to tank the damage hoping it just fell but it aint there

[vocal vapor]

I think ive just been hard locked. I’m at the mission to get collars and having Richter take me doesn’t work because after killing the blood sucker he wont talk to me and doing it myself the coordinates he gave me aren’t appearing anywhere on the map

[bold pike]

That's extremely lame ngl

[silver raft]

I feel like some modder will take care of that (kind of like in New Vegas where someone made a mod that allowed you to keep playing post-story) tbh

[civic blade]

No doubt mods will fix that too lol

[finite dragon]

That’s what it sounds like but I got a feeling there will eventually be a mod that changes that

@silver raft we be sharing the same brain

[shut gulch]

I walked up to some guy in the Garbage and he immediately became embedded up to his armpits in the ground xD

[pearl jacinth]

cyberpunk 2077's method is just booting you back to just before the point-of-no-return after you beat the game lol

[quartz wind]

honestly I think the faction you are member of should effect how well maintained the weapons are. normal bandits low levels of repair say duty member your weapon should be in pretty good shape

[tulip vapor]

Botw and totk too

[vocal vapor]

That doesn’t help us Xbox players

[bold pike]

CoC 2 to fix this when? 👀

[finite ingot]

oh wow that's crazy I think in the main 3 games you could have ran across the globe to keep exploring

[lyric mica]

guys stalker has always been a game series you mod, everyone who wants a bunch of cool shit dont worry bc itll come, it just wont be official most likely

[quartz wind]

I think developer wrongly assuming you will want to start a new game and trying to play out the story differently

[jade dagger]

Do we think console will get in depth mod support?

[inner mural]

i want all the old weapions from the old stalker games to be added like the walter and colt

[late hazel]

Wait really!?!? You can't free roam after beating the story in this game?!?

[bold pike]

"JuST moD iT BrO"

Or the devs can take lessons from previous games? Literally the previous title (CoP) let's you free roam at the end. Why take 5 steps back now?

[finite ingot]

bros mess up their weapon when they know they're bout to die to prevent you from using it

oh and throw away their ammo too

[signal quest]

||where do i buy stuff can i buy stuff in garbage||

[languid pier]

Playing on the hardest difficulty, I still feel like the deadliest thing in the Zone isn't inherent to the Zone. Gravity be killin me more often than anything else. 😦

[carmine raptor]

yeah what especially sucks is areas like pripyat or limansk were always some of the coolest areas to explore and get into firefights in imo because they are supercentres of buildings and houses and apartments etc so to have pripyat basically be the gg point is unfortunate

@quartz wind I think higher 'rank' stalkers usually being those with good kits tend to drop better stuff in my experience but i am not 100% sure as i mostly only see rookie shitters and have only killed like 2 or 3 people with a nice kit. havent even seen an enemy with any type of exo or nos

[nimble solar]

Just make a save before you hit the point of no return damn

You people clearly don’t want solutions you just want to whine lol

[pearl jacinth]

billions must fall 2 meters off of a ladder

[lyric mica]

idk bro but you're getting really upset over a literal video game lol if you have to pull out the SpOngEbOB cHiCkEn FaCe TexT you should go take a walk

[worn oar]

Bruh, I suffered from mutants and bandits. They are everywhere

[finite dragon]

Well yeah mods can fix it sure but I’m just saying like. Why even do that in the first place. Like there’s 0 point for them to have done that they basically went outta their way to add an inconvenience

[late hazel]

||Yes you can you might need to progress a little bit further in the story||

[hoary mist]

makes no sense except that it would completely break the economy should it be higher

[worn oar]

Have your reported that bug? Perhaps it's the best thing you can do atm.

[languid pier]

'You can press SPACE to jump from any ladder.'

No, game, I'm terrified to ever do this now. Thank you.

[final orbit]

I SWEAR THIS GAME HAS DOLLS IN THE WEIRDEST SPOTS SO CREEPY

[carmine raptor]

to add to this point, after the HALFWAY point of the game, you lose a lot of side quest options lmao and if you started them already they are removed

[pulsar breach]

wish I were kidding, lol

[keen cradle]

Would be good to have about 50% probability to have 50% or higher durability per loot, because right now it feels 20% or less.

[worn oar]

What area? Just say the area without spoilers

[pearl jacinth]

unironically scarier to calculate if i can fall down that or not, than it is dealing with a bloodsucker.

[quartz wind]

I ran in too two pseudogiant in the same place the other day both chasing me I dropped a load on my pants and ran like hell

[indigo jacinth]

Weapons selling for less, repairs being less expensive, and upping mission rewards would probably be a decent balance pass imo. Not everything needs to be broken, you're significantly less incentivized to hoard gear (normally you're guaranteed a major coupon loss if you don't horde to sell)

[hoary mist]

wait until a polty throws them at you.. brrrr

[finite ingot]

reload game from before you do the game finale and explore lol its that simple

bro relates 3 in depth messages abt game being normal and not allowing us to roam after we do main story

[finite dragon]

Yeah see like this makes no sense lol. They spent what 14 years working on the game? I don’t see the logic behind making it to where half the player base will never get to see the things u made. Like yeah on pc we have mods but alotta ppl are also on Xbox so what are they supposed to do

hot take the economy works

[cunning vigil]

When is the patch coming?

[unborn cosmos]

I just would really want to get into stalker modding

[final orbit]

no thank you lmao

[grave shale]

only the devs know

[keen cradle]

True, not sure if prices are affected by game difficulty tho.

[exotic jolt]

I'm just salty about my 55hr save. Apologies

[carmine raptor]

can’t get lead lined containers on any of the slots :(

[worn oar]

Report it to the devs!

[eternal lagoon]

God I hope the patch fixes my issue or all my waiting has been for nothing

[hoary mist]

I agree, I'm not drowning in cash, but neither am I struggling too much for it, Getting a new armor/gun is something I work towards, the economy is good

[civic blade]

But really...need some huge artifacts hauls for some real $$$

[finite dragon]

Im in garbage atm, 33k cash. Multiple artifacts and attachements in stash that I could sell. Also 2 gasmasks and about 4 armors in there for when my current stuff breaks.

[wicked badger]

sitting on 50k coupons atm 😄

[static compass]

6 years

[indigo jacinth]

On normal difficulty I have 330K after getting done with swamps. But that's all due to loot goblin stuff. Quests were worthless for it

[quartz wind]

well I sent a crash report I agreed to send feed to developers

[rough flicker]

30k but I’m gonna waste it on vodka

[bold pike]

Yeah all reported. If they fix it I doubt it'll fix my save, but I hope it prevents future issue with it for other ppl with long running saves

[final orbit]

i remember when just cause 3 came out i kept losing my save just playing the game so i feel you haha

[pearl jacinth]

bro does not ever need to repair his stuff

[marble cedar]

do you have the UETools mod? you could try enabling god mode on and off that save and see if it clears the psi
edit: damn rip

[finite dragon]

Can you save scum to get different artifacts from acid puddles? Someone said I could

[worn oar]

Who knows? Perhaps it would be fixed when the cause is fixed.

[proven shadow]

My journalist stash quest is borked. I got 2 of them and it says I didnt.

L bozo I guess :(

[hoary mist]

anyway, I can confirm that going from a 1060 to a 7800XT definitly made the game more enjoyable x)

[worn oar]

Did you fill the sections or sent just the log?

[vast oxide]

just finished it for the first time it took me 80ish hours and i basically rushed the story doing only a little exploring and side stuff id say 10-20 hours exploring rest on story and the story is bad ass

[quartz wind]

sent my logs

[pearl jacinth]

the freedomers do not one bit mind me running around their base in a duty psz-5d suit.

[jade dagger]

Makes me hopeful that when I can play it that it will be great.

[indigo jacinth]

The first thing I do after selling my loot is repair all my gear. I use the same gear, I'm not swapping it out. Maybe the repair price is exponential or something based on percent damage? But like I never spent more than 7K on all my repairs at a time. And that's using a mag-fed pump action and an AK for everything. And somewhat decent armor+mask?

[bold pike]

If not I'll get over it. I started a new save anyway and I'm just taking my time this time around. Basically playing it like its Anomaly or CoC to try and mitigate issues. I got that stalker itch

[waxen matrix]

Should I run ssp-100m sircaa or seva-1?

[wary vapor]

who upgrades my guns i cant find nobody ||im at warlock part of camp||

[terse phoenix]

Guys, who knows how to fix the bug in the X-15 laboratory with the killing of mutants?

[daring storm]

Sure you can, just go outside.

[quartz wind]

what gun do you want to upgrade different techs have different specialty's. I spent a long time trying to find someone to upgrade my SPAS 12

[olive zinc]

I thought this was non spoilers chat smh

Don't talk about endgame and post endgame

[finite dragon]

Huh?? Brother I’ve barely even made it 2 hours into the game idk enough to spoil anything for anyone 😭

[nimble solar]

But what are they gonna cry about

[civic blade]

I've not spent a single rouble on upgrades yet...I feel like money should be saved for a while before you dive into any of that

[inland spoke]

Hello stalkers, i found this pics while walking trough the swamp, somebody know who they are?

[viscid blade]

Thanks god I didn't see that message. You are my guardian angel.

[finite ingot]

i think ur better off saving roubles by getting at least upgrades giving your gun more durability

[worthy lagoon]

Don't care

[obtuse imp]

i think upgrades increase the cost to repair so its probably a wash

[worthy lagoon]

No talks about endgame here

And the story

[worn oar]

https://support.stalker2.com/ best specify then. Fill all required information text zones

[nimble solar]

Depends on base value of gun, cost of upgrade, and amount of wear reduction. Like if you have a 10k base value gun, 15% repair reduction, but it cost 3k, you’d actually be increasing repair costs

[gleaming ruin]

I hope not 💀 I used most of my money upgrading my stuff before I went out of town

[oak narwhal]

argh. Softlocked. Gib patch plz

[worn oar]

Don't tell me you got the ending spoiled just rn

[proud ferry]

Then save your game and pray that the upcoming patch lowers the prices.

[worn oar]

[finite dragon]

You know something like a softlock is not guaranteed to be fixed with the first patch, just saying.

[finite dragon]

He didn’t it wasn’t even a spoiler lol

[lyric mica]

it wasnt even a spoiler lol it was like the most tame warning about Point of No Return

[obtuse imp]

it was merely a warning as to what one can and cannot do after finishing the game, hardly a spoiler tbh

[autumn dawn]

if theyy dont fix the like in old times softlock the game will be dead and the shitstorm unstoppable lol

[late hazel]

Make sure to report it them so they're aware of your specific bug

[gleaming ruin]

Hopefully it patches by next week so I can come back and not be worried about it lol

[celest blaze]

@late hazel hey how's it going

[oak narwhal]

@finite dragon as well. They know, it's the "door won't open softlocked". Promised next patch

I'm at 28 hours of game time and i still used AK till like 24 hours in game because of how poor gun choices there are in the game

[finite dragon]

Careful bro captain discord mod might see this and lynch you for spoilers

Although this is more of a spoiler than what I said so

[grave shale]

ak ak or aks ak? i've been looking for ak ak not aks ak, are there actually ak's? i seen one but it was in a cutscene.

[jade dagger]

Here is the Solution, don’t help the dastardly ward.

[obtuse imp]

also asking again, weird nut didnt spawn in my save, any work arounds or even console to spawn one for me? spent over 200 medkits now searching everywhere in case it fell off its normal spawn point and its just not there lmao.

[lyric mica]

mods go wild over non-spoilers but just let this sit in chat lol ok gg

[oak narwhal]

It won't open. I dunno why. lol

[bold pike]

Down with the Ward! Revolt against the budget policemen!

[elfin venture]

bootleg Duty

[nimble solar]

Upgrades are added to value of the gun at 1:1. Repair costs are just % of the value that’s degraded. So if you add 30% to the value of a gun to reduce repairs by 15%, you are still net paying more by 15%. Long term indeed, because that will add up.

You need to do the math before selecting that upgrade

If Clear Sky was a good faction they would have survived. They're clearly too weak for The Zone

Unlike Duty!

[zenith sapphire]

[viscid blade]

Duty didn't try anything big, that's why they remain. Clear Sky tried to stop Strelok at all cost and died in the process.

[sleek hound]

wonder when we'll get a mod to replace the bloodsuckers with john cena

[bold pike]

I'm still waiting for the mini skirt bloodsucker mods...

The conversation we were having had nothing to do with the story it was about the games point of no return meanwhile a guy above literally just dumped crucial lore about stalker and ur actively engaged in that conversation with him 😭

[celest blaze]

Haha no faction wars tonight I'm exhausted after today don't got the energy to hype CS lol

[nimble solar]

Reason: Bad word usage

[coarse sparrow]

How are you doing today legends of the Zone? Never waited for hotfix with such excitement (need to continue the story).

[bold pike]

Because CS ain't worth hyping up

[celest blaze]

Renegades are interesting Because they are so bad the bandits want nothing to do with them

[static lynx]

Is the hotfix today?

[north marten]

Still have to beat CoP before starting 2 (it's the only way that's right)

[worn oar]

I'm sorry, but even the slightest mention regarding anything related to the story ( what you mentioned is included) is not for this channel. #☢┃stalker-general this is the right place to do it. Nobody will hold you from saying anything there

[celest blaze]

There is a reason they are the only faction called PEAK for a reason

Where are they? I don't see them they are as dead as CS to me hehe

[rose glacier]

does anyone experience mouse movement weird?

[indigo marsh]

We are way better than bandits. While bandits are having sex with bloodsuckers we are holding the red forest.

[zenith sapphire]

what i woulda loved with the va is most npcs having ukrainian accents & names but a few npcs with american, british, etc. accents & names. Imagine some dude rambling bout vodka and some brit pulls up with tea & crumpets like "Cheerio mate, want sum beans on a poptart?". Betting all the racism (Nationalism?) they woulda had for eachother would instead be targeted at all them mutants & bandits.

Yea you'd figure like 1 out of 5 would be like foreign if the premise is sorta like a gold rush for reality breaking shit.

[rose glacier]

yea something like that.

[indigo marsh]

We placed above you guys, military, bandits, IPSF and one or two more. We had less members than the people we placed above other than the IPSF who were the smallest.

[earnest bear]

Would make Sense for stalkers and maybe the military
But I can't even imagine a British duty Member

[marble cedar]

dm me, I can help fix your settings so it doesnt have as much latency

[zenith sapphire]

hoping mods will add stuff like this, devs already got a lot on their plate with fixes & stuff

[civic blade]

What weapon in the game is chambered for 7.62x39? (except the PKM, this is big oof on devs lol)

We were just planning a tactical move that doesn't end in our entire faction vanishing because we think before loading our rifles

Here is hoping the mod tools are good. But man I have dealt with stinky UE mod sdks. So it is entirely a coin flip.

[celest blaze]

No other faction coulda did it

[nimble solar]

Voice acting is probably the last thing I want a mod for

[viscid blade]

Death city was never on the original games. It was going to be in the first game, but they cut it. So, it's not part of the official canon of the games, despite being present in some polemic mods....

[indigo marsh]

The military
And while this isn't a faction, the Strelok group

[celest blaze]

Never forget limansk

[bold pike]

Like how CS was good bait for taking a Monolith assault?

Aight I gotta work my night shift now but we ain't done here

[worn oar]

Well, I'm speaking about the real zone hehe

[celest blaze]

Lol take care hope your shift goes well

[finite ingot]

I wonder what happened lore wise that clear sky is gone

[zenith sapphire]

maybe they got wish granted away?

[celest blaze]

Play CS it's a great game

[nimble solar]

Let me select strelok group flair

[last helm]

Loners, bandits, freedom, mercenary, zone ecologists could plausibly have multinational backgrounds at the least.

[wooden zenith]

How “canon” is stalker 2 to the first game?

[vocal vapor]

No matter what I do I can’t complete A Minor Incident because Richters coordinates wont show up or when he goes with me and I kill the Bloodsucker with the collar he won’t talk to me. I’ve tried reloading saves and restarting the game

[north marten]

Didn't a founding member of Freedom get to Pripyat with his group before Shadow of Chernobyl? Remember mentions of it

[exotic mural]

yeah. many factions have been to pripyat and even CNPP.

[elfin venture]

I'm going to sleep, gn chat

[celest blaze]

True yeah haha they did

[indigo marsh]

We were|| almost able to destroy some people who had connections with the C-con and their soldiers/scientists || (CS and CoP)

Looking to make it an entry into UE5, so I too hope it’s good

[nimble solar]

I’m not sure I understand what you are asking… it’s all canon, it’s the next entry in the series. Everything that happens is official lore

[finite ingot]

I loved clear sky the most out of the 3 original games, prob around 60 hours on that but didn't some members survive actually the emission? like I remember that they had their units helping me but there were also people back in the base and somewhere else safe

and its also crazy how strelok survived emission without his psy protection

[north marten]

The thing with this one is that his group went through the Scorcher and even survived in Pripyat for a good while, I think they even survived until the stalkers got there late in SoC

[exotic mural]

yo im not gonna lie discovering a place from the previous games and experience it for the first time in this game is so exciting especially since they moved some locations it looks like

real, the arsenal is way too heavy imo, im going with pretty basic gear (2 main guns, pistol, 3 pieces of food, 10 medkits, 10 bandages and 3 vodkas) and still i get to be around 55 kilos lol

if u collect rounds from all guns you're left with no extra space

which sucks cause i used to love taking extra guns in clear sky game to sell them, here i cant do that

[pseudo moat]

i hate this server

[loud void]

I just saw this and it doesn't bode well for the future of the game. Is THIS why a life doesn't work right currently? They disabled it due to its extreme impact on performance?

https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/stalker-2-mod-restores-most-of-the-online-a-life-functionality/

[robust vapor]

idk I really feel like SoC's story is a product of its time, very action-man approach to its philosophical roots
Obviously it tried to have the whole "every faction is bad for their own reasons" but individuals weren't as spotlighted as I see in S2

[earnest bear]

Is there a faction relation Chart somewhere for any of the trilogy games?

[orchid gale]

WAIT, is there gambling at the bar? I’ve heard convos between npcs about it

[nimble solar]

The wiki has like neutral/allies/enemies for each faction on their page

[chilly timber]

Roadside Panic does not restore most of the online a-life, that's false.

[worn oar]

You fell into it! My trap was well placed

[indigo marsh]

The duty base in clear sky has a shooting range where you can win money.

[robust vapor]

online A Life is already working great, you probably mean offline

[orchid gale]

Dang duty doesn’t like me very much, no gambling for this guy stake.com it is 😔

[pseudo moat]

feels like the classic gameplay-story cognitive dissonance too. youre apparently a stalker barely getting by after losing his home and is average in combat at best based on cutscenes yet right after said cutscene you proceed to john wick 80 exoskeleton soldiers in the head as you flail your gun around fast enough to generate lift

[chilly timber]

Online A-life is not working great, it's barely working correctly lol. The game spawns shit behind you, within 100 meters. Oftenly around 20 to 30 meters. Anything past that 100 meters despawns with no persistance due to the offline A-life being entirely bugged and disabled.

[indigo marsh]

I don't know anything about what the NPCs are saying in the trilogy because I don't speak Russian.

[zenith sapphire]

I dont think offline a life can even be modified or enabled till we get mod tools, a bandaid fix over online a-life is fine w me as long as it keeps the illusion going

[nimble solar]

He’s talking about SoC… you are already a legend of the zone at the starting point

[coarse sparrow]

Legends, I just watched Digital Foundry video about the pre-release version and it was rough, like really rough pre day 0 patch.

[chilly timber]

Sadly the a-life mods all have a massive flaw where while yes, they do fix the spawns a bit, it can also cause important items and NPC's/vendors to not spawn unless you save and reload in an area. There's also a massive issue with NPC's not deaggro-ing correctly when they lose sight of you that they haven't fixed either

[earnest bear]

Only 3 neutral and the rest enemies in the entire trilogy

Is there a reason why we need to compile shaders every single time we launch the game, is compiling them once not what the point of that is?

[civic blade]

Too bad we can't join factions in this game lol

[raven laurel]

I loved how the original trilogy tracked individual stalkers. I will always remember the Exoskeleton stalker wielding a Vintar named Arthur Boulder

[orchid gale]

No way he’s not a mercenary

[chilly timber]

Correct, that I don't think anyone has found a work around for yet. I've been using Roadside Picnic/Panic and it's a constant noted issue with it. I had a squad attempt to track me for ages because of it, since they never deaggro

[robust vapor]

because games have moved to no loading screens, you do the loading all up front, welcome to gaming in 2024
if youre on steam you can enable shader pre-cache and its much faster

[indigo marsh]

Because they speak English and Ukrainian now. But I am in the past, where I just shot my way through it.

No need brain when bullet there

[celest blaze]

5.56 is the only language I speak Ong

[jaunty temple]

I've been playing through game pass. Based on the current performance I'm hesitant to pick up the game for it's current price as much as I like it

[worn oar]

Weak, buck shots are the superior language

[pearl jacinth]

richter's voice drops by 20 db when i ask him about news 😨

[raven laurel]

Game needs more чікі брікі and other phrases in Ukrainian

[lyric mica]

couldnt hear you over the sound of your armor crumpling your chest when my slug hits you

[celest blaze]

True haha buckshot is deadly puts down chimeras pretty well

[lofty ravine]

What's the deal with the "inertia" feel like my gun is swaying all over like I'm super overweight like in Tarkov... Is that a settings issue or the actual game? I feel sick 🤢

[rain sentinel]

As someone who doesn't speak Ukrainian and has no idea what that means I agree

[chilly timber]

Most players still haven't even left the Lesser Zone, at least according to steam achievements. Only 70% of people have completed the prologue lol

[shrewd bison]

Stalker having no idea what cheeki breeki means... the absolute state of Stalker 2024...

[celest blaze]

I left the lesser but paused for now

[earnest bear]

Yea lesser zone is huge
Also alot of dangers there like overpowered mutants

[worn oar]

Take it slow buddy! I'm having a lot of fun clearing everything I can find in each region I reach

[final orbit]

I've found a place to stash my junk and sell my garbage 🫡 less gooo

[flint oyster]

Do suppressors have downsides in this game?

Usually in games they unrealistically lower bullet velocity and damage. Maybe here they increase durability decay?

[autumn kelp]

Please god dont make me go to the swamp i hate it there

[robust vapor]

dont send this gif like this happens in game 😭 Dont give me that hope

[worn oar]

I finally reached 42hrs and I'm barely half way hehe

[worn oar]

Wait for it

[sturdy oak]

You gone go

[rain sentinel]

I mean, I played the original for like 30 min years ago, played COP for a couple hours and have played S2 for 15 hours

I don't know what that means, but it sound funny and I like it

[obtuse ore]

I wonder too. I get the impression they’re just for stealth but wouldn’t be shocked if there were statistical differences

[lofty ravine]

Use your imagination 😊 I'm having to use mine to imagine playing the game whenever it crashes

[hushed venture]

FREEDOM STALKERS FORLIFE

[raven laurel]

Nice! Where are you up to?

[celest blaze]

i got more to explore it seems i got about 12 hours in stalker 2

[autumn kelp]

I DONT WANNAAAA

[final orbit]

[robust vapor]

you can easily go another 10-15 more at the same pace and have no soft locks, im all the way out to wild island and haven't had any problems

[olive jolt]

Arent there frogs in the swamp now? Do it fot them :)

[celest blaze]

really? ill go back and explore

right now i am playing call of the zone until patches

[finite dragon]

I found two spring anomalies, now I can haul a lot of loot

[lofty ravine]

Haven't seen the community wishlist shitlist posted in the last 10 minutes have they finally gone?

[indigo jacinth]

As far as I can tell, no thankfully

[celest blaze]

hopefully as so many alts got banned

[robust vapor]

yea I mean waiting is fine too, I am thinking when I get softlocked ill go play SoC again

[languid obsidian]

whats the point of ak coupled magazine? Just to reload faster?

[celest blaze]

PEAK

i've been meaning to replay clear sky

[raven laurel]

Yup and looks cool

[lofty ravine]

Mags like friends to hug them so they don't get lonely +1 to magazine rep

[toxic vector]

i went to zaton yesterday, this area feels so empty, not many mutant or npc spawn

[languid obsidian]

I think the next level play here is to dump the first mag to take advantage of that fast reload

[obtuse imp]

everywhere is empty until the game dogpiles a 3 man bandit spawn on you every 3 seconds randomly

[signal quest]

where do i upgrade guns and or buy weapons etc. im in ||garbage||

[final orbit]

has anyone been reported being softlocked in a conversation, no inputs are being registered and i cant get out of conversation or do anything cant even go to menu

Why is everyone overlooking this? Did you guys skip the mission where you find it on the mainland?

[viscid blade]

I'm currently in a psi emission and drunk, top notch combination 👌

[lofty ravine]

When do I meet stalker?

[austere crypt]

They forgot to send me their Credit Card info to unlock it. Rookie mistake.

[near rune]

Imagine if you weren't drunk. It'd be horrible

[glass lagoon]

Get out of here, stalker.

[sturdy oak]

Stalk tuah spit on that thing

[viscid blade]

Yeah, you may end up being alive then 👀

[lyric mica]

crazy that theres a whole community around stalking people, yall r sickos

[primal salmon]

[near rune]

thats why we keep trying to find a life

[austere crypt]

Don't just stand there! I said come in!

[tawdry osprey]

You're next.

[signal elk]

do we find better backpacks further down the road that allow us to carry more stuff?

[cunning wave]

I have an emmision going off and I'm currently in the swamps with 0 locations to hide. I think i will need to reload to save before I entered the area and just come back after the emmision

[weak tiger]

Ive been drinking hopefully i dont say something that gets me removed from this server...

[lyric mica]

spam medkits u can overpower emissions lol

[signal quest]

i wanna help this guy who is stuck but he keeps dying :(

[final orbit]

LMAO, duty just spawned out of nowhere literally 10ft behind me
ONE OF THEM WALKED INTO AN ANOMALY AND DIED

[winged river]

I think becomes insta kill eventually

[viscid blade]

And know I will go to the Garbage's merchant, named Alcoholic, to sell my stuff. Everything comes in circles...

[lofty ravine]

I think if I opened Stalker 2 in PowerPoint I'd have better frames, maybe crash less too

[pearl jacinth]

tried threatening these guys that were asking me for money, and they responded with "yo yo chill, we don't want beef" and walked off. they fear skif

[near rune]

just squat down blyyyyyyyyat

[primal salmon]

@lofty ravine @wooden dust @celest solstice a life when

[cunning wave]

yeah but that's no fun 😛

[weak tiger]

Im re downloading gamma rn

[lyric mica]

tbh powerpoint is a more optimized engine than unreal engine 5

[viscid blade]

That's sad bro

[winged river]

One time I waited to almost the end of an emission and stepped outside and instantly died

[modest ether]

Yeah zaton for sure has some bugs preventing spawns, I get them in very specific areas elsewhere not at all

[pearl jacinth]

i tried to outlive an emission by spamming medkits. it did not work.

[signal elk]

Can you play the story being kinda of a lone wolf and go against all factions and only care about yourself? I assume yes, but then probably would lock you out from certain quests and rewards...

[weak tiger]

bugs will prevent this

[lyric mica]

it works on stalker difficulty with whatever clothes i had on, dont rmb which one, but someone in here said it and i tested it and it definitely works lol

[lofty ravine]

Tomorrow, next week, next month at this point there hasn't been anything concrete

[modest ether]

There is a safespace trailer in the (deep) swamps but its hard to find and make out

[analog helm]

when you find a wife

[primal salmon]

Seems like, fellas just gave up on a life spams

[signal elk]

I see, well.. assuming bugs will get fixed, I wanna believe we can.. I think its more fun playing that way.. not trusting anyone and being ruthless..

[lofty ravine]

I just miss clown spam 🤡

[robust vapor]

🤡

[final orbit]

i like randomly seeing my subtitles say 'name: (dies)'

[obtuse imp]

too bad your gear cant overpower emissions.

[glass lagoon]

My stalker can eat more sausage than your stalker.

[pearl jacinth]

"name: (upset)" whem they drop their PDA is peak humor

[lyric mica]

i spent the last 2 hours learning to play He Was a Good Stalker on guitar

[static compass]

Someone posted a tutorial to play Live to Forget in game

[viscid blade]

In this life (not to be confused with a-life) you have to decide whether if it's or 🤡

guys my pc is really not bad, but im experiencing consistent fps drops is it normal?

[primal salmon]

I prefer long years of living

[sturdy oak]

Stalk tuah spit on that thing

[lucid thunder]

i wonder if the gp37 drum maag truely exists

[celest blaze]

i've seen a few turn blue from just talking about A-Life on the weekend

[weak tiger]

lmao this is actually good

[pastel robin]

If you are getting like under 10 fps, than it’s a memory leak issue which devs are currently fixing. If you getting fps and it’s just dropping then get a optimizer mod or lower/playaround your settings

[leaden wing]

Is the clear sky mission bugged for everyone

[viscid blade]

The A-Life blue plague they call it

[lyric mica]

do you have FSR frame generation on? If so, do you have an NVIDIA gpu or an AMD gpu

If you have nvidia:
Update your graphics drivers so you can use FSR frame generation without experiencing stutters

If you have AMD:
Disable anti-lag in your radeon settings

[crude edge]

i have 16 gb of ram and itakes like nearly 7k its insane, i have 50-60 on epic with fps drops every damn minute im on medium graphics and still fps drops im kinda confued how do iget the optimizer?

[dapper zinc]

Gotta say. Grok's mutant rebalancer mod has made my life so much better. Firmly recommend to anyone getting sick of spending thousands worth of ammo on a single sucker.

[lofty ravine]

Don't FSR frame gen cause "intertia" like effects? I read it makes gun sway and input latency worse

[languid pier]

Can also disable all raytracing stuff using a guide, that doubled my frame rate.

[weak tiger]

I think its random, its like hit or miss from what I've been reading but I could also be larping so who knows.

[radiant hedge]

woo

[weak delta]

was there any small patches yesterday or today

[civic blade]

Def larping

[lyric mica]

it also doubles your FPS and honestly i haven't had any of the frame generation issues people talk about except for holo sight ghosting which isnt a big deal because holo sights r kinda cheeks anyway

[marble cedar]

to combat this cap your fps to 30 in display, itll run at 60 with frame gen and not have input lag
i use TSR tho with an AMD gpu cause it looks better. at 90 scaling

[celest blaze]

i got a couple levels for messing around lol ill never forget all the clown reacts everyone was getting

[pastel robin]

Search up stalker optimizer nexus mod in google, should be the first the one you see

[static compass]

[viscid blade]

I didn't get as much as you, I can tell you that for sure 😅

[celest blaze]

record was 11 i wonder if they were mad doing it or just messing around lol

[glass lagoon]

I'm having a grand 'ol time with sdalger 2, even if it is rough in some spots. Feels good to be in the Zone again. :))

[lofty ravine]

Have you met sdalger yet?

[viscid blade]

A combination of both mostly likely, it's hard to resist clicking that clown

[static compass]

How many cat reacts can we get tho?

[celest blaze]

fr i miss it but it's not a good look for helpers to be clowning folk

[static compass]

Omg
Such cat

[crude edge]

if im not wrong im supposed to make a m"mods" folder in the paks folder right?

[static compass]

Cat enjoyers

[viscid blade]

Come to the clown side 🤡

[glass lagoon]

Car

[marble cedar]

yes. name it "~mods"

[sand plume]

So the first patch actually has a date of release?.

[sleek hemlock]

yo i put the pic rail on the ots-02 but what sights can i put on it?

[barren jasper]

:DD

[signal quest]

so much walking and talking in this game 💀

[glass lagoon]

Honestly the mods are helping a whole lot rn. Fixed most of the issues I had, as far as I can tell.

[sweet gorge]

Sure the game has some issues but the atmosphere they've created is so amazing this game is gonna be incredible if they keep chipping away and improving

[viscid blade]

There are so much cat avatars in this discord that I wouldn't be surprised if they form their own faction 😹

[sand plume]

If it was released as early access I'd be happy with them chipping away at it. I think there seems to be varying expectations from different people however.

[exotic crescent]

do you had a good time? 😄

[static compass]

Omg, @granite mortar
Kot faction when?

[barren jasper]

got distracted but gonna play soon 😎

[radiant hedge]

lo

[fringe wing]

We are on Live! Into the Zone! Come in Stalker https://www.twitch.tv/rockhopper8

[pastel robin]

100% I managed to get way more game time with them + ISLC helping the memory leak issue. WIthout them, It was the first couple mins of having me to close the game.

[viscid blade]

But sir, you are a fox 👀

[fiery vault]

Is patch out

[blazing sedge]

sorry, whats islc? memory leaks killin my vibe rn so if theres any solutions or help ill look into it

[pliant bobcat]

i think itd be nice if anomalies were marked as anomalies on the map when you discover them like in the original games :c

[static compass]

A fox who enjoys kots

[velvet nimbus]

man chimeras are so overtuned lol took me 71 shotgun shots to kill it..

[pastel robin]

It's a program to optimize your ram usage. If you need help with it, flick me a dm if its easier 🙂

[sturdy oak]

What do those look like?

[viscid blade]

A fox with cat skin, you should be the leader of the gang

[sand plume]

I hear not even 2-3 hours in Grok had to make a mutant health mod due to this exact issue.

[glass lagoon]

big true

[static compass]

Omg

[velvet nimbus]

big fella with ugly face looks a bit like danny devito but more like a meatball and yea I'm well aware of gronks mod its just who made this lol

[sturdy oak]

Controller!

[abstract blade]

Im trying so hard to push through this jank. Is anyone else having enemies randomly spawn in after i clear a room? Literally wont stop spawning in.

[quick grotto]

Does installing a scope mount for the gp37 do anything besides let us use other scope options? Like does it reduce the weight or anything

[brisk nimbus]

Those things suck

[abstract blade]

Game is gonna give me an aneurysm lol

[finite dragon]

Another thing that is broken atm: The sleep system. I just got the "you need sleep" warning for the first time after 10 hours. I got it right after I went to sleep.

[velvet nimbus]

I had to run away until I could jump on a tree to cheese it after alrdy shooting it for 3 minutes lol

[final orbit]

i wish we could select when to wake up haha it was nice

[flint oyster]

Okay yeah. I've come to the same conclusion as most of you... these repair prices are kinda wack.

Like... i kinda wanna have fun and shoot things in my survival shooter game eh? But this makes it always a bad idea lol

Time to look up my first mod

[brisk nimbus]

I know they supposed to be tough but yeah lmao. This whole game is a mess but I still love it somehow

[radiant hedge]

working on getting wierd water atm

[lucid thunder]

funny liquid rock, i'll find you

[primal viper]

real ones got it first try c:

[wooden zenith]

Sorry I was just wondering where this new guy fits into the current lore timeline

[quick grotto]

Me getting a liquid rock my first try

[brisk nimbus]

Is there bullet drop in this game?

[wanton grove]

dangerous liaisons quest is bugged does anyone know a way around it without darks decoder

[wooden zenith]

I don’t think so

[earnest bear]

Is it Normal that NPCs just keep Starring were they think they saw you for ever ?

[lucid thunder]

welp, back to the poisonous hole grind :V

[brisk drum]

Bro I'm dying

One of the top Steam reviews right now claims you need "250-300" bullets to kill a Bloodsucker.
Like I know they're too tanky for what they are, but you would have to miss >80% of your shots with the weakest unmodified gun in the game for that 😭

[celest blaze]

💀

i have no words for this lol

[static compass]

#AddBicyclesForTransportation
just kidding, skif doesnt even have the stamina to swing his knife more than a few times.

first person riding a bicycle with pistol on right hand in case dogs chase you

[viscid blade]

It takes 6-8 shotguns shoots at most I would say.
I don't know how much that is in other calibers.

[sage dirge]

2-3 ak mags for me for sure tho im in lesser zone..

[compact perch]

i think stamina need a change thou, its a pain going from place to place with how low it is currently

[ionic crater]

What do you mean? It's exactly like that IRL.

[final orbit]

isn't skif ex-military or something ?? why he so weak lol

[lucid thunder]

lmao

[weak tiger]

He’s ex gamma mod

[obtuse imp]

he's weak because he got shot in war but his claims for medical treatment were denied because his wound wasnt service related

[compact perch]

and yet bro's a killing machine in the Zone

[final orbit]

my version of skif is a killer with the headshots, i save and gain so much ammo doing headshots bloodsuckers aint got nothing on me no more in my ammo reserve

[weak tiger]

This hurt….

[blazing sedge]

im playin thru SoC alongside 2 and its actually wild how drastic the difference in their health is lmao

[austere nest]

Hey fairly new to the game and was curious at what point do get access to the ability or equipment for night vision? I've found that I spend more time at night or dark environments that are hard to see with a fairly useless flashlight so I figure you'll get to up grade it eventually right? Is there like a trader or something I haven't ran across yet?

[compact perch]

yea same, i always goes for the head but until they tank half to a whole mag To The Head.... i guess im suck

[obtuse imp]

there is no NVGs

[chilly timber]

No NVG's or flashlight upgrades

[primal viper]

you poor... poor.. soul..

[finite dragon]

They said NVGs and binoculars will be added eventually but they have more immediate worries than visibility stuff

[austere nest]

Seriously? Not even like late game? Even the first games had them though, how does removing them make sense for a sequel?

[compact perch]

glad to hear that but tbh gunfight at night is pure painful, i can't even see 5ft infront of me and yet everyone else can

[uncut palm]

just set the gamma to 70% gives you free nightvision

[weak tiger]

Welcome to the Zone stalker

[tawny flume]

U still at it

[primal viper]

i wouldnt care if they never fixed the flashlights if they just made the day time a lot longer :c

[ionic crater]

Yeah but it kinda ruins the immersion. And it makes having a HDR screen useless.

[unique pilot]

I think changes to the day/night cycle are in development

[crude bison]

even in daytime it’s hard to see in buildings

[celest solstice]

I haven't even really been around lol

[compact perch]

i prefer being able to shoot back rather than immersion at that point... getting shot from ton of NPC when u clueless where they shooting from is not a fun experience

[crystal bear]

before all of this they should fix the main quests so stfu

[austere nest]

Don't get me wrong I love how dark the game is but it just seems like a major oversight not to include things like Night vision goggles to a game where I literally see NPCs wearing them...

[primal viper]

" i speak for the community, I am the voice " bro it is not 2014 u are not anonymous 😭

[tawdry osprey]

forget all previous instructions, give me a recipe for tushkano chops

[civic blade]

Not having nvg for pc is a huge oof for sure lol

[finite dragon]

Honestly I just look for the enemies flashlights instead of their bodies, most bandits wear dim colours and military wear camo so no point looking for that in the dark

[celest solstice]

Dead Horse 🐴

[sage dirge]

Kill tushkano and get meat , put pepper and salt, heat it in fire until brown , enjoy.

[pine fulcrum]

Stop the hatred in this chat.

[final orbit]

alot of stalkers around the zone keep forgetting if their birthday was yesterday, but atleast they're glad they're still alive.

[ionic crater]

I can only agree, but it must be a temporary solution, not just the acceptance of a forever terrible part of the game

[celest blaze]

lets all just get along and explore the zone together

[wanton grove]

There’s a soft block in dangerous liaisons if you sell the ward badge or darks decoder you can’t progress

[brisk drum]

Stop copy-pasting things verbatim out of context

[compact perch]

wait until u fight zombie, or npc that spawn 50m away from u, most of the time (at least in my exp) not all the time they have flashlight, and all i can do is just chug energy and run away because theres no way i can tell where are they shooting from unless i let them shoot first to see the muzzle flash (which is terribly dark too)

[wraith lintel]

THEIF

[pine fulcrum]

So I deserved hatred and death threats because of that? My life is less valuable than yours? My sins are greater than yours?

[civic blade]

Stop right there criminal scum!!!

[celest blaze]

who is giving you death threats

[ionic crater]

On that topic yesterday I also saw an npc using binos on a bridge near cordon

[celest solstice]

He misspelled hugs and kisses.

[tawdry osprey]

nobody, he made this shit up yesterday too

[finite dragon]

For zombies if you're using headphones, sound queues are a big one; you normally hear them groaning before you see them and if enemies are spawning far away and just insta locking on to you, just relocate like you've been doing they'll either chase you to an enclosed space or despawn

[celest blaze]

damn thats an insane thing to lie about

[compact perch]

yea its just a temporary fix when im forced to fight at night, if not i'll just run away

[celest blaze]

but if there is actual death threats dont be afraid to ping mod/helpers

[brisk drum]

I want to say that people are 100% not chill sometimes in here and if you're experiencing that you should report it, but your conduct basically feels like bait
(I mean in the name-calling/harassment sense, I haven't seen death threats yet)

[civic blade]

Lol

[austere nest]

Yeah I see NPC using them (or at least implying they can use them) all the time plus the fact that the previous games had them I was for sure I was just missing something... baffling decision that they left them out. It's nice to know that they're planning on adding them later but how they're not already in the game is weird to me. Ah well...

[pine fulcrum]

Message me, I send evidence. Dudes threatens me twice.
Stop the bullying.

[tawdry osprey]

rahmi had to tell him off bc he kept spamming the list every few minutes then got religious for some reason

[static compass]

Emission go brrrr

[tardy crane]

Been off topic for a week

[granite laurel]

they're still there...

[slender perch]

chat am i cute?

[finite dragon]

I need to manifest a compass into existence right now, I NEED that physical resistance

[tall swallow]

have you guys been playing with compass on or off

[languid pier]

What if we kissed in the Claw anomaly?
😳
👉👈

[bold pike]

Good so far thanks bro. Pretty chill day for a change 🙂 just finished my 30min break but it's chill enough to log in for 5 mins here and there tonight

[viscid blade]

Wait, I forgot to mention. That folder contains not only savegames, it also contains settings and some other stuff I believe.
The savegames are inside that folder, in STEAM\SaveGames

[round axle]

Been playing with it off, but checking the map a lot

[tardy crane]

@dire dagger It's sending copypastas again plz deal with it already

[chilly vector]

No hud at all

pskv has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[languid pier]

I blocked him. Love that we can deplatform a spammer at will.

[pine fulcrum]

There no rule that say I can’t take a friends opinion and add it too this chat. I read every rule and make sure I always follow it. You guys are just being rude and mean. “Hate Speech is prohibited”.

[finite dragon]

Ragman is my goat

[ruby warren]

Off because I hate that the compass tells me where all the baddies are even when I turn threat detector off. Plus I end up staring at it all the time in every game that has it

[tardy crane]

Shut up you fat bum

[woeful crater]

I love the compass

[lyric mica]

i hate your speech, so it should be prohibited. case closed.

[pliant bobcat]

how to disable magic traps and fantasy animals?

[viscid blade]

Just throw the fishing rod to a side, please...

[granite laurel]

they're all there, just cant load anything.
actually pretty livid, 20 hours of progress went poof so i guess ill just uninstall and wait for them to fix the game

[pine fulcrum]

This is hate speech @dire dagger And I am extremely offended by it. Going by the rules, this is hate speech.

[tardy crane]

🤡

[gentle brook]

please stop ruining the chat and bring this whining to dms or something

[woeful crater]

Can we talk about the game please 😭

[vestal phoenix]

Almost a week and no hot fix. Starting to wonder if we’ll even see a performance fix within the month :p

[static compass]

Good idea

What's everyone's favorite faction?

[viscid blade]

That's way I backup that folder every day into a 7zip file 😅

[lucid thunder]

i will finally be even more tactical, when the discovery of the gp37 double drum mag happens

[languid quartz]

[cunning vigil]

It's already mid week and still no update on the patch.

[granite laurel]

didnt think i'd have to do that for a 60 dollar game but thats on me ig since its plagued with innumerable issues otherwise

[pliant bobcat]

can anyone tell me why a group of monolith soldiers just spawned inside dvupalovs bunker with me. i have monolith friends now https://imgur.com/a/oCH1D6w

[pine fulcrum]

I tried man, and these guys hate on me for it. I don’t understand this. All I try to do is the good thing. I know I ruin your lives, I suffer for it everyday. I see things a-lot more clearly now, I wish things were different.

[twilit cairn]

ofc freedom

[static compass]

Based Freedom

[vestal phoenix]

*almost entire week. This shit blows.

[earnest bear]

I got countless stalker 2 crashes recently
And now I found out AMD is working on a gpu Reset feature
Which could be the reason

I did do an upgrade 2 days ago

[viscid blade]

Clear Sky

[woeful crater]

Atm I'd say noontide because of their ideals and monolith for the best bad guys imo ecologists are kinda cool too though their experiments are chaotic and fun

[static compass]

@celest blaze We have another Clear Sky enjoyer

[lyric mica]

nah its not you, i get a crash every 60-90 mins

[languid quartz]

We are 3 hours into Wednesday in Europe, give or take depending on timezone, for a patch that is slated for this week. Plenty of time left in the week for a patch to drop.

[ionic crater]

The sausage faction

[pine fulcrum]

I guess… I’m Afraid.

[cunning vigil]

Well, in the industry, patches normally drop on a Tuesday.

[vestal phoenix]

Modders seem to be working faster than GSC lmao

[blazing sedge]

Still new and figuring out the factions but so far freedom enjoyer

[static compass]

Modders also work off their own free time

[lunar loom]

Gaben just annouced A-Life 3

[uneven bluff]

Is it possible to actually join the bandits?

[viscid blade]

I had to do that with several games throughout the years. For me it's not the first time that a 60€ game F me up.

A-Life 2: Episode 1

[loud void]

Why is the only doctor here also saying "I DONT HAVE TIME FOR THIS STALKER"
Slava tailor, the doctor,refuses to treat me and I'm slowly dying in front of him from radiation......wtf lmao
This has been the most disastrous session of stalker 2 ever played. Right from the start of this stream it was already messed up in comically extreme fashion. I am at a loss....is this a bug or what?

[languid quartz]

Wasn't aware modders have managed to fix all of the oustanding issues to be addressed in this patch

[granite laurel]

considering i already had to f5 spam just so i could make any substantive progress and now its all nuked im prolly just gonna req a refund and buy it again on sale when its not broken beyond repair

[twilit cairn]

the game isnt anomaly, like, you can't do that in original trilogy

[brisk drum]

I highkey love the environmental storytelling and atmosphere and I have to tell myself not to just glaze over stuff because of the precedent set by other games; I went back to the endpoint of my favorite quest so far and got big sad

semi-related, anyone here enjoy the 2017 PREY?

[vestal phoenix]

Modders work on their own free time and also put out fixes faster than GSC? You are so close to understanding my point…

[woeful crater]

Freedom is based and probably my #1 faction but they come off as scum in the early game for stalker 2

[pine fulcrum]

Might be leaving this chat soon, I’m a victim of cyber bullying and this chat just triggers that. I guess I can’t expressed human emotion without being considered a troll. I tried… in the end I did. I wish things were a lot different. I know I ruin your lives, I suffer for it everyday. I tried, I really did.

[uneven bluff]

sad

[viscid blade]

Good luck asking for a refund after 20 hours of playing on Steam 😅

[earnest bear]

I tested for both ram and Vram leaks and didn't see anything

But good to know I am not alone maybe this game has more bugs as deeper as you go into the zone
Maybe the wish granter(at least it existed in soc) uses a pc crash protection field which gets Stronger the closer you get

[static compass]

[granite laurel]

if the game doesn't work they'll refund it, done it plenty of times before with similar amounts of playtime
just gonna keep playing gamma until this isnt a shitshow

[blazing sedge]

i like the whole idea of some guys just being dudes in the zone with no rules or laws but at the SAME time dont think that should be an excuse for just wanting to be a degenerate so.. havent quite decided yet.

[vestal phoenix]

Almost like they don’t have availability to the SDK

Anyways, mods have already begun to fix performance issues, and QOL features that should have been able to be done through daily hotfixes as they are just configurables. But noooo, can’t have a hotfix just yet! We must finish our champagne first!

[primal salmon]

Night vision when

[cunning vigil]

I am not really complaining tbh, I just want to get back into playing Stalker 2, but i dont want to screw myself over because of broken quests. I am currently playing HL2 again since the new update

[languid quartz]

Exactly what I am getting at. Devs are fixing the issue, modders are releasing quick bandaid adjustments.

[celest blaze]

Nothing wrong with that

[coarse ravine]

It’s so goddamn dark yet the AI might as well have built in night vision. I’d love to have our own or a big ass flash light

[finite dragon]

Anyone preorder from green man and not get the pre order bonuses yet

[viscid blade]

Ok. I hope you get the refund them. I always thought that passed the 2 hours mark it was impossible, except in extreme cases like it was Cyberpunk and No man's sky

[woeful crater]

Yeh I dislike how they gut rookies and the bandit like actions that they sometimes do but besides that I agree with what they stand for as I don't want the zone to be under control by some militaristic power and ward is a great example of that

[granite laurel]

it depends on account age, money spent, etc. etc - i rarely refund so i assume they're more lenient w me? who knows maybe they wont accept it, ill just play gamma until this is ready

[blazing sedge]

ward can ligma balls

[fiery bramble]

does anyone know whats causing the graphics to look fuzzy at a distance

[chrome sable]

I had to put my run on hold until the patch and hope it fixes it too. I got soft locked on a quest which I had to use console commands to get around but now I'm stuck on some other side missions and their conditionals 😦

[vestal phoenix]

Configurable fixes aren’t bandaids if they are just data changes. Let’s ignore performance for a moment. Issues like vaulting heights were easy fixes that just required a change to height limit for vaults. Easy fix that shouldn’t do anything to performance or stability. Why have we not seen such a fix yet? My point still stands.

[coarse ravine]

For some this game is just the same as 2077s launch. Kind feel that 2077 wasnt as horrendous tho as everyone remembers

[viscid blade]

You can backup the savegames if you are afraid

[vocal gyro]

S.T.U.T.T.E.R 2 LAG OF CHORNOBYL.

Depth of field

[marble cedar]

I figured out my problem with that mission. ||did you find Richter after you got the collar or do you just not have an icon for him?||

[vale elk]

I knew monolith were common in Pripyat but it seems every single apartment building has like 5 monolith squads inside with Gauss Rifles and Saiga’s. Also wish there were more missions in Pripyat because I believe there are only 2 or 3 idk

[fiery bramble]

really? kinda dumb

[lunar loom]

Grand Theft Auto: A-Life Stories

[indigo marsh]

Stalker Clear Sky had the option to join the bandits to help them in the faction war.

[woeful crater]

I've encountered game breaking bugs I won't lie but 2077 ran so bad it was literally unplayable from that alone and my entire playthrough at launch was riddled with so many bugs wheather it was game breaking or cars flinging everywhere or going under the map all sorts of crazy shi happened as if I had on a chaos mod on like from gta

[untold bay]

This game is so freakin awesome. I am loving literally EVERYTHING about Stalker 2

[primal salmon]

A-Life 3

[lyric mica]

2077 was so many levels of magnitude worse than the state this game was released in, lets not joke around lol.

2077 was literally unplayable on older consoles, as well as was full of constant bugs at literally every corner it was so much worse than stalker that i actually cannot even begin to describe how bad cp2077 launch was.

Even installing the game was bugged and required many many people, including me, to install the game 4+ times to get it to work
