[steady lantern]

It's a shame there are no glossary entries for mutants and anomalies like in the previous games. Especially since there seem to be multiple new anomalies now but we don't even know how to call them

[rapid warren]

true I love me some lore entries like this

just like in metro exodus where protagonist was taking notes and making scetches of encoutered wildlife

[granite mortar]

That was only a thing in SoC tho

[steady lantern]

Still would be welcome in S2.

I was convinced at least the mutant entries were present in CoP too

[granite mortar]

Dont think so

Multiplayer battle royale

[drowsy blade]

This week, that’s all we know

Does anyone want to see Uwe Boll in a Stalker Movie?

[steady lantern]

That's the only director I'd trust with a videogame movie these days

[tawny flume]

Add a store for skins to

[weary token]

They will just announce that they cancel the two upcoming DLC's to focus on the MP portion.

[tawny flume]

Yea that’s sounds totally right

[gritty orchid]

they are going to make an extraction game mode

[zinc apex]

Stalker 2 is being cancelled and devs are moving on to Stalcraft

[austere phoenix]

[weary token]

And of course: Niki Minaj, Stranger Things, Fukushima, Dark, Billie Eilish crossovers expected. Also 5 season live action series on netflix, with anime prelude coming shortly between 4 - 5th season.

[viscid edge]

How about the addtion of the assortment of 56 side quest cut from the game for launch that would add more life to the game as well

26 released, I believe 56 cut. Such is crunch life

Hope everyone is having a great day

[hard sleet]

Been a while since launch. Checking in to see if it's a good time to give S2 a go. Is ALife etc and most other critical issues resolved or is it still a waiting game?

[thick wolf]

Still waiting. Big patch meant to come out this week

[zealous pumice]

Hasn't had a big patch in nearly 2 months

[celest goblet]

Yeah. Should be one soon, but it has to pass through testing first.

[zealous pumice]

Only 1 small patch to finally fix the shader comp issues. Just wish they would release some small patches here and there, or give us the reason why they are taking so long. No communication as usual from game companies.

[mystic crow]

Patch days are Tuesdays

[zealous pumice]

@mystic crow wrong they come out Friday and Thursdays too. Sometimes Wednesdays. So you're bs lol

[mystic crow]

Tell that to the dev who said it

[zealous pumice]

he's lying as well, you really trust a dev? 😂😂

[mystic crow]

Yea I'm gonna trust a dev, come from the source

[zealous pumice]

They literally have come out on all those days with the previous patches, calling bs on that 😂

[zealous pumice]

All those times that devs have lied through their teeth and you're gonna trust it. Bet you preorder EA, ubisoft games as well

[mystic crow]

I don't pre-orderactually so you can stop, while your ahead, just because a dev says something doesn't mean it's a lie neither does it mean it's bs so calm yourself

[celest goblet]

GSC patches whenever they want basically

[zealous pumice]

Rage bait👆 just because a dev says something doesn't mean it's the truth especially when they have a track record of lying 😂

[mystic crow]

Meh, I'd rather take a devs word

[zealous pumice]

Who's alt account is this? 😂 bet it's the mods trying to bait into muting people when they're bored 😂

[zealous pumice]

Then you are destined to always be disappointed and mislead 😆

But anyway, big patch this week hopefully. If it drops Tuesday that will be nice. I'm thinking around Friday though tbh

[clear raft]

Patches are for the weak.

[celest portal]

sorry I overcooked it in the oven and it got burnt

[wise geyser]

Hope they take as long as they need 😈

[daring storm]

Update: it's not it yet.

[zinc apex]

Only true Kot enjoyers will get the update today

[celest goblet]

People kept demanding the game and calling it vaporware before the launch. It came out earlier than it probably should have and we saw how that goes. I would rather not repeat it with the updates

[zealous pumice]

@celest goblet shouldnt have done it to begin with, or they start with better communicatio

[stoic widget]

ue5 is cancelled and gsc is moving to ogsr

[lofty helm]

[celest portal]

[outer laurel]

When update?

[tawny flume]

[daring storm]

Between now and a month from now.

[slender stratus]

I would honestly prefer OGSR over UE5

[stoic widget]

Tomorrow, 9PM UTC. Only available for GoG

[slender stratus]

They said aiming for this week, how have you goobers not realised that GSC word things very intentionally and vague so they can wriggle out of any criticism

But seriously, where tf is the roadmap. I’ll be finished with DSH mod by the time these knobs manage to cobble together the other half of the game they flushed down the pooper

[outer laurel]

Imagine releasing a roadmap for finished product...oh wait KCD 2.

[sly matrix]

Oh wait, KCD 2 devs are still raking in the money from KCD 1 and didn't have to depend on parties like microsoft for funding as much with attached requirements. Real fair comparison guys

[wise geyser]

May the Zone take you..

[hard trench]

I think defending bad practice from any company whos sole purpose is to create entertainment and take your money for it, is not fair at all

[zinc apex]

Fix a-life

[sly matrix]

Bad practices is EA ruining everything they touch. We're talking about a company that's actually passionate about having to make due taking a bit more time with updates than everyone's personal schedule would like to see. If you consider that bad business practices, don't buy the game

[drowsy violet]

Kind of wish STALKER 2 had two characters to choose from. One if just skiff with his own preset background and motivations. The other should have been a custom stalker that you could make to replace Skiff if you didn't want to use him.

[sly matrix]

What kind of character would you have prefered?

[drowsy violet]

Don't get me wrong, I do like Skiff. Just wish we had an option to play as a custom stalker. Able to decide things like background, gender, overall appearance and able to choose a selection of beginning equipment to start out with.

[sly matrix]

Idk, that's more.of an RPG thing

[drowsy violet]

Funny and ironic, considering this series has rpg elements.

[sly matrix]

Custom character kindof seems like a slippery slope leading to a disappointing character progression system and a dog sidekick

Basically slightly less goofy fallout

[drowsy violet]

tbh, background doesn't have to give bonuses, just explain how your character is prepared for The Zone. Skiff was a soldier.

[sly matrix]

Don't get me wrong, I like character creation. But I don't think it's for stalker

[drowsy violet]

Your character could be a person who just regularly lives off the land, for one.

[stiff pasture]

The selection of starting equipment would also be a bit much, starting with even a basic suit would make the lesser zone even easier or anything above just the Makarov

When I say ‘basic suit’ I mean anything better then Debut btw

[drowsy violet]

It can work if done right.

Well they would still need some basic equipment. Even if said equipment is just a few more medkits and anti rad.

[stiff pasture]

And, building off malcator said, it wouldn’t really fit much, especially since every Stalker protag has been a defined and fleshed out dude, it unfortunately would just add needless complications to development if you had a curated character like Skif AND a bunch of different possible combinations of backgrounds and traits in a custom character

[molten kiln]

molt is posting youtube videos xD

[sly matrix]

I mean, several predefined characters could work

With a lot of funds

Which could probably be spend in better places

[stiff pasture]

Main thing I’m looking forward to is weapon rebalances honestly, I want to use my SOFMOD and not feel like I’m throwing ice cubes at people

[drowsy violet]

Yeah, but unless those choices are balanced everyone would be choosing the meta option. Why take the guy with the Makarov when there is a character with a hunter background that has a scoped Mosin Nagant?

[sly matrix]

Sofmod not powerful enough for you? Didn't use it much myself

[stiff pasture]

Nah it’s good early game, it just falls off extremely fast, which is a crying shame

[sly matrix]

You clearly haven't seen the knife only playthroughs of the originals. Besides, Skiff's pistol OP

[drowsy violet]

I NEVER used his Makarov or whatever pistol he has. As I had a mod that allowed SMG's and the double barrel to be used as a sidearm. MP5 the GOAT.

Calibur swapped to 45 acp, 3.5 scope with silencer.

[sly matrix]

Well, use it before you judge it I guess

[drowsy violet]

Considering things, you had to use it for the Tutorial.

I mostly used the MP5 for being inside of structures as it was more compact but still packed a punch.

End game I switched over to the Bulpup AK that could be calibur swapped to 7.62x34 or whatever the AK cartridge is.

End game shotty, Saiga 12.

[stiff pasture]

The Malyuk/Dnipro is good

[sly matrix]

7.62x54 Dnipro is fun

Pocket MG with better scope and suppressor

[drowsy violet]

I honestly hated fighting the robed mutants. Always kept nades on hand and chucked it at them like party favors.

[stiff pasture]

I’m just imagining the Monstrous recoil

[drowsy violet]

Also not sure if the game has this as a mechanic. If you empty any gun before those mutants can use them the gun should remain empty and not have magic bullets.

[sly matrix]

If you want monstrous recoil, full auto EMR : D

[autumn roost]

can you do flips in stalker 2

[drowsy violet]

With the right mods you can basically parkour.

[autumn roost]

wait really?

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[drowsy violet]

Well, parkour in the sense that you can mantle up places you couldn't normally reach in vanilla.

[autumn roost]

Oh ok, thanks

[stiff pasture]

Truthfully I’m avoiding mods on my pc version (mainly because I’m too lazy to mod a version I rarely play lmao)

[sly matrix]

I avoid mods, just because

[drowsy violet]

I'm sure the game is great without mods I just prefer playing with mods.

[main frigate]

Agree, there are plenty of mods already that makes the game even better. Just look on Desolation for example

[stiff pasture]

The instant mod support goes live on console though, I’m modding it like it’s Skyrim lmao

[drowsy violet]

You are not just saying that because your name is similar, right? XD

[crystal merlin]

No patch 😭

[main frigate]

Of course not. I think it's the most advanced mod for Stalker 2 at the moment. New items, mutant looting, backpacks, sleeping bags, repair tools, new trader, npc and trader balance and so on.

[drowsy violet]

Ok, this just popped into my head. Why does Sidorvich remind me of Marcus from Borderlands?

[main frigate]

But I'm involved in translating that mod to polish language so yeah, I have something common with that mod

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/1179

[drowsy violet]

I'm kind of already at the point of no return so unsure if I even want to add another mod in. Is it ironic that I wish the main story was even longer even if I already have put in almost 200+ hours in a single playthrough?

[sly matrix]

Well, means the game didn't outstay its welcome to you

Which is good

[main frigate]

I also waited for adding Desolation for another playthrough. Not sure if everything will work without new game

[drowsy violet]

I'm used to single player campaigns not even going over the eight hour mark for most games. That is if you are just bum rushing the main storyline.

[stiff pasture]

I’m sitting at nearly 700 hours total on Xbox, gotten a couple hours in SoC as well

[drowsy violet]

||There wasn't even any places on the map that even get a part in the main story. Like where duty is.||

[sly matrix]

||Duty irrelevant lol ||

[drowsy violet]

Just would have been cool to have every sector of the map being part of the main story.

Every day it's the same stuff. But this is what communities online do when there is nothing to talk about yet

Reality is there will be nothing new to discuss until the update or some other announcements happen. This is fine but platforms like this live off conversation

[vale quartz]

Za monolith

[sly matrix]

Plenty of people have waited here for a long time for the game to release and amused themselves with the original trilogy. Years on end, this impatience is more of a.postrelease thing from newer arrivals as far as I can tell

[celest goblet]

I've been itching for more updates to start a second playthrough but I don't know if I even have the time for one right now. I haven't even installed the PC upgrades I got like 2 months ago because of this game

Have not had the chance to take the risk that something goes wrong and the PC is bricked for some amount of time since it's involving a new mobo/CPU/windows installation

Also been too lazy to back up stuff on my current boot drive to my backup disk

[granite mortar]

Omg

[celest goblet]

Maybe this weekend will be the time for the PC upgrades

[thick wolf]

Did someone say Doom?

[upper tree]

You're afraid the game is going to brick your pc?

[empty gorge]

still cooking, is a slow cook, been at it for 2-3 years, will need to cook prob 1 year more

[dire dagger]

It’s not fallout 76

[celest goblet]

I beat the game on PC once already. It can run okay on low-med settings. I just want to run it better

I just mean any new major hardware and OS installation runs the risk of unforseen issues

And I needed my PC to be working every day for non gaming reasons for a while

[dire dagger]

Don’t think stalker 2 will brick your pc

[celest goblet]

Yeah that would be wack. Pretty confident everything I got will work out of the box, but I couldn't really afford to take any risks

[dire dagger]

Dude it’s not windows 98se

Like bruh

[celest goblet]

Lol

Yeah I've just had a bad experience or two over the years with DOA parts that I had to RMA. Real pain in my rear

[dire dagger]

Well sure my 3090 died a month into owning it but

Wasn’t fault of any software I ran

It just had a defect

[celest goblet]

Yeah. Well I think this weekend is gonna be the time to stop putting it off since I'll have the time and don't have the same concerns now anyway.

New CPU should make this game run much better for me

[dire dagger]

Unless it’s a 9800x3d I wouldn’t hold your breath

[celest goblet]

Eh. Still upgrading from a 3700X to 7700X and from 16 GB DDR4 memory to 32 DDR5

Would have liked to go whole hog but I had a pretty strict budget for upgrading

[dire dagger]

Ight

[dire dagger]

CPU over head hopefully improves in the next update

Also apparently it seems like

Radeons have much better fps in stalker 2

If they can get past shader warm up

[crystal merlin]

[outer laurel]

@gsc When update

[worn oar]

[night crest]

when will a-life be released

[prisma goblet]

No patch

[little quail]

hope it won't be 16.02 23:59

[rapid warren]

Dont worry its 26.02 23:59

[night crest]

29

[worn oar]

Again, it is aimed to be released within the range of this week if everything went smoothly, and worst case will be by the next one. Either way, we can't know for sure, but if GSC said it'll be this week, then it shall be so. They are doing an absolutely outstanding job to make that happen, and I know at least that much.

[celest goblet]

It is difficult to make accurate predictions in software development. You have to allow some generous leeway

[unreal raptor]

A-life 0.2 is live and kicking mate.

[night crest]

0.2

i want 1.0 🗣️

[unreal raptor]

The og trilogy is the only option (or Anomaly/GAMMA) for 1.0

[vale quartz]

gamma = 💩

[night crest]

clearly means that Stalker 2 sucks

[celest blaze]

Anomaly and gamma fucking suck

Play some real mods lol

[vale quartz]

people who play gamma are people that aren't good enough to play tarkov
cold take tbh

[celest blaze]

Based take

[night crest]

finish cyberpunk

[celest blaze]

Call of the zone, legends return, teamlite all better hell then there's other mods like OLR 3.0 with amazing alife

Iwp based aswell

[celest goblet]

I trust that the developers are entirely committed to improving the game. It just happens on the timeframe that work can be completed, not the one anyone wishes for

[celest blaze]

After my morrowind playthrough

[drowsy blade]

What’s the best freeplay mod in your guys’ opinion

[celest blaze]

Call of the zone

[night crest]

see you in half a year 💀

[sly viper]

thats the job for those who release info ie CMs

[celest blaze]

Best quest system

[drowsy blade]

Thanks

[vale quartz]

dunno, anomaly with old world addon maybe, didn't play enuf of CoC tho

[celest blaze]

OWA is still barren af

[gritty orchid]

Anomaly is fine tho

[celest blaze]

Anomaly isn't good

Teamlite and legends return shit on it pretty badly

[drowsy blade]

I feel like Gamma is just SP Tarkov with anomalies and the occasional mutant

[gritty orchid]

Gamma is kinda cringe

[drowsy blade]

also the most convoluted repair system I’ve ever seen

[celest blaze]

OWA will be based soon as a new version with cotz quests is in development

It's a ways off still though

[vale quartz]

real?

[celest blaze]

Yeah

Found out on the C con server

[dim topaz]

Username checks out

[gritty orchid]

I mean, anomaly is fun and all but as a sandbox kind of experience, story wise i feel like there's other alternatives that's way better

[vale quartz]

we ball

[drowsy blade]

Isn’t Anomaly’s story just a worse SoC?

[empty gorge]

yall trippin hard man, anomaly is freaking good after base trilogy to just sandbox. gamma is sp tarkov with extra steps

[vale quartz]

gamma is dogshit tarkov with extra crafting

[empty gorge]

[dim topaz]

Gamma has nothing to do with Tarkov and people who claim otherwise never actually played Tarkov

[night crest]

skyrim

[empty gorge]

what if its the other way around?

[celest blaze]

Play better freeplay mods and you'll see how goofy this take is

[granite mortar]

Call of the Zone
Not even a competition
Also we got #🔩┃trilogy_modifications for a reason

[drowsy blade]

Apologies, it seemed like the conversation was already on mods

[dim topaz]

Well, yes, Tarkov was in part inspired by Stalker among others
But they are fundamentally different experiences, and so is gamma

[granite mortar]

Nah
Its the worst dogshit of all time
Barren, boring and with no content of its own (well no content in general)

[celest blaze]

Once you play call of the zone you'll see how awful anomaly really is

I can't go back lol

[drowsy blade]

Sin is an interesting addition (but I think that’s added in other mods too)

[empty gorge]

oke my take wasnt good i take it back, tbh i never played a lot of anomaly

[vale quartz]

gamma stand for
g
a
m
m
absolute dogshit

[granite mortar]

It is
And its done a whole lot better in pretty much all of them

[drowsy blade]

I have actually played Tarkov, and some things look like they were ripped right from it

[gritty orchid]

Blaize is a gamma supporter, so just ignore him

[drowsy blade]

This is fair

[dim topaz]

So if you boot up Tarkov you're going to get the same experience as if you booted up Gamma I see

[vale quartz]

both feel like draggin balls on broken glass so yeah

[dim topaz]

Some people enjoy that

[granite mortar]

Nobody said that
But Gamma definitely trades a lot of the simple stalker system for more complicated tarkov esque mess
And then all the wannabe tacticool operator crap

[gritty orchid]

Gamma is just a failed attempt into making stalker a "hardcore experience"

[drowsy blade]

Well I stopped playing the game after the devs proved to be Putin shills and then deleted it after the morons got their launcher hacked in ‘22 so I can’t exactly do that

[dim topaz]

As for the tacticool stuff, so does Stalker 2 to be fair

[gritty orchid]

What

[drowsy blade]

S2 doesn’t do it nearly as hard as Gamma

[dim topaz]

Every gun looks like it's from the future, the enemies have worse aimbot than gamma, etc

[granite mortar]

Thats why its the worst stalker game

[worn oar]

What the hell am I looking at

[dim topaz]

Right now, in this state, I agree lol

[drowsy blade]

Gamma mentioned once and the chat implodes (I’m apart of the discussion so I’m also to blame lmao)

[vale quartz]

Gamma would be less dogshit if people stop pretending that it has something to do with stalker in general lol

[gritty orchid]

Well, bro put stalker in the name, so I guess that's expected

[drowsy blade]

Gamma had the advantage of being the focus of every milsim YouTuber in the months before S2 released

[worn oar]

No one is beating anyone yet?

[dim topaz]

It's for sure closer to Stalker than Tarkov. It's just a very autistic, divisive form of Stalker.

[drowsy blade]

Very true, but give it time and I assure you the knives will come out.

[gritty orchid]

And this is one of the main reasons stalker 2 got lots of hate for no reason (if you exclude the obvious stuff)

[granite mortar]

Beating up*

Otherwise its very wrong on many levels

[dim topaz]

Beating off*

[granite mortar]

[vale quartz]

gamma feature is not present in stalker2 = devs removed content
man I've seen people gaslighting themeselves over stuff that was never in any stalker game except gamma

There it is

[gritty orchid]

Not to mention the "this 2007 game has better graphics and details than this 2024 one"

[worn oar]

Hold that mind of yours at bay Kot Emperor I'll summon you to the Kot temple and give you my judgment there otherwise

[drowsy blade]

Also to be somewhat fair to Tarkov, their repair system isn’t nearly as asinine and annoying as Gamma’s

[gritty orchid]

If tarkov was a single player only game it would be considered a good game

[worn oar]

Granma is a mod, so it does not stand in any form of comparison with any of the 4 games

[drowsy blade]

Gotta pay an extra 10 euros for it

[granite mortar]

Sowwy

[gritty orchid]

If the experience was at least worth it, I'm sure people would be more inclined to buy the "PvE pass"

[drowsy blade]

Yeah especially since half of people can’t even play Streets

But it's dog water and somehow worse than the unofficial single player mod

[feral totem]

Thought they gonna drop the patch as steamdb is not seeing any updates for more than a day

[zinc apex]

[nocturne monolith]

Well they still have plenty of time

Ohhh wait I see what you’re saying
Big if true

[zinc apex]

it's joever guys

[molten kiln]

what it means exactly? That they dropped making the patch ?

[zinc apex]

just no updates to "public" branches. it doesn't mean anything

[feral totem]

I mean they finished making the patch and is ready to push it

Although I must say it’s just my speculation

[feral dust]

KCD 2 is saving me from patch fiending

[mystic crow]

It's just when, but they can take how long it takes, best to have a good patch than a patch that breaks more things

[drowsy blade]

GSC is sort of in the damned if they do damned if they don’t right now. They gotta push patches out faster but that might introduce more bugs to make the players angry, or they can test it all out to make sure it works like they’re doing but the players will be mad there is no patch. (A little more consistent communication would be nice however)

[granite mortar]

Omg
Cat

[mystic crow]

Agreed, and well said

[zinc apex]

Kots > Monolith

[celest goblet]

At this point I think the correct answer is to just not release patches until they are truly ready. The goal is to improve quality

[foggy turtle]

as a dev I have sympathies, the vast majority of the time all you can say about problems is "we're working on it"

[granite mortar]

True

[potent mica]

I wouldn't rely on steamdb

It will come when it's ready

[gritty orchid]

Tomorrow

[drowsy blade]

If the patch is tomorrow I’m gonna be so sad lol. I’m gonna be away from home until Friday

[reef raptor]

theres been no changes on steamdb regarding stalker 2 at all and there are usually like 2 to 4 changes on a daily basis so I assume the patch might come out tomorrow..? might be satisfied with the stability of the patch but who knows

[feral totem]

Yeah, they could give us more updates on the progress at least

[zinc apex]

if dat thang is ready, they prob waiting for console verification again

[drowsy blade]

Damn Xbox

[zinc apex]

xbox / microsoft mfs always take ages to get their shit together

OMG guys that's it thats a sliver of hopium mixed with copium crack I was trying to find since yesterday

[feral totem]

I don’t know if in the future they will add more side quests like what cdpr did with 2077. Right now so many regions are so empty and without content

[lofty helm]

[rapid warren]

True, one of things im waiting for the most, I believe just more of these repeateble quest instead of 1 at a time and then waiting in game week for a bartender to give you another

[mystic crow]

Like yaniv and the red forest etc

[tender oracle]

patch?

[zinc apex]

🚫

[daring storm]

Every time someone asks for a patch the patch gets delayed by a week.

[dire dagger]

If that was true the patch wouldn’t come till we all died of all age

[worn oar]

Yes. There is satisfying ppl. True fans would wait, while other fans with little ties or even true fans with bad experience wouldn't. Idk, I don't want to judge, but there is no shame in waiting, cuz we already waited and extra time wouldn't really hurt anybody, especially knowing that every extra second means better patch

[drowsy blade]

I think that occasional (maybe weekly or biweekly?) updates from GSC I’m terms of how upcoming patches are going and what they’re working on would do a lot to reduce player frustration at the gap between patches.

[celest goblet]

I understand the desire but what would there really be to say that is actually useful

[sly matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/epic-fail-fall-bad-thing-tripping-crazy-gif-15245041

[drowsy blade]

I guess at least let us know what they’re working on specifically

[worn oar]

Well, one should consider them as human too. Going through reports, and addressing bugs is not a simple thing to do. Like I remember myself taking hours to fix a simple bug as a modder in the old games. So yeah, I understand the outer side of the matter, and I'd say give em all some slack

[clear raft]

There's no patch, only bugs. This is life.

[drowsy blade]

Absolutely, these are people at the end of the day. Half of them are still living in a country being invaded by Russia so their schedules are all sorts of screwed already

[fiery bone]

Bro your exo was literally fake, you asked the wish granter for it and I ended up finding you wearing cardboard boxes on the top of garbage saying "I am the one true stalker!"

[fiery bone]

NU UH

[clear raft]

Gopnik has spoken, patch testing involves copious amounts of vodka and cigarettes. Bugs are here to stay until sobriety is achieved.

[worn oar]

I mean, they are doing bug fixes at a faster pace than some bigger industries, so yeah. You can imagine the effort yourself

[dire dagger]

Bro you blew the lid off the secret

[worn oar]

It's not a secret, yk, but just in case

The role is there yk

[drowsy blade]

Yeah for sure, I’ve waited for way longer from American companies to fix their game than this. Hell sometimes they don’t even make the effort. I can at least see that GSC is trying to work on it and putting in the effort even if it is a little slower (understandably so) than expected.

[molten kiln]

Yeah u right

[queen ice]

Have a snorktastic Tuesday folks

[north violet]

They're doing a hell of a lot better than Sony/Playstation right now.

[gritty orchid]

[covert dawn]

I keep checking if the updates arrived .. fingers crossed for tonight though I think it won’t be until Thursday or fri

[zinc apex]

bro it's 8 pm in europe. there won't be any patch today

[rapid warren]

PS5 HAS NO GAMESSSS

[opaque vortex]

Literally this is all we need l, patch could take months but communicate with the community on progress and what is being worked on, most of us understand that things changed so no need for tinelines

[hard trench]

I love the "This is Life" system in Stalker 2

[opaque vortex]

Kcd 2 is just a better game unfortunately, everything works more or less day one and doesn't feel like a bunch of stuff was cut

[clear raft]

Play 1.0 for the true Stalker experience 👍

[empty gorge]

nono they about to drop one soon tm, think today

[feral dust]

both good, but yeah, seeing how polished KCD is does sour me a bit to stalker 2 release in hindsight

[feral totem]

Kcd seems to have really good optimisation as well. Well it’s not using ue5 after all

[vale quartz]

Patch drop tomorrow

[feral dust]

wishful thinking or...?

[vale quartz]

Just trust

[feral totem]

I believe as there is no updates on steamdb, they must have finished the patch and it’s ready to be released

[drowsy blade]

Just waiting for Xbox probably

[north violet]

I'd be down with the whole thing too; I remember when Ebb Software started doing that for Scorn, the community response was very positive.

[north violet]

If it is, then it probably will drop tomorrow. I'm in EST and every previous patch dropped in the early morning.

but when I got 20 I did get the achievement

same with killing with explosions

I was at 3 in the tracker when I hit 20 and just got the achievement for that one

Really?

[coarse sparrow]

I am sorry for your loss stalker

[worn oar]

Submit your report.

Make sure to clear your shadercahe, make sure you have no mods installed, and set your game right. Maybe you are having memory leak tho, so just wait for the next patch

[feral totem]

Don’t even know when the dlc would come. Wanted to support the team but the game is truly disappointing at the moment. Could use at least another year of polishing before release. Now we should call it early access at best

[latent kite]

DLC never releases this early post release so its a moot point. But ironing out bugs is the priority

It's all a pretty common process and yes it's annoying and yes I can see the points being made about things that should have been ironed out during initial pre release testing, but DLC releases are always months down the line. The absence of a roadmap is what unsettles people about it, but you sort of just have to trust the process

[clever bear]

I'm probably lucky, but after more that 50 hours I still don't find that much bugs or problems and having fun

[urban basin]

Some games even release their dlcs after more than a year since the release of the game

[latent kite]

Yeah it's all pretty normal tbh

It's all down to psychology and a roadmap's absence typically unsettles people

Thus you get this ahhhh they lied it's not coming mentality

Whilst I agree with the issue with bugs etc it's also common and these larger more ambitious games are typically plagued at release

The cogs in the machine are turning lol

[urban basin]

At least GSC looks like its really trying
Unlike gpu survivor's devs (jedi survivor)

[north violet]

Roadmaps can also give people false or misleading impressions/expectations, even if it's unintentional; I imagine GSC wants to avoid that with their roadmap.

[daring storm]

Road maps help people get from point A to B.

[boreal crescent]

still nothing? scam

[feral totem]

What I mean is indeed they need to communicate their plan, which they are not doing at the moment.

There are various other problems such as a life simply not working on release and now we still have sniping shotguns and nightvision enemies and many other things that make the game completely unenjoyable

I would appreciate it if they would address how they are planning to fix these

[boreal crescent]

yeah this no communication about bugs and fixes is just weird, like were anticipating something big and its just bug fixes, just keep us updated w tf

[rocky prism]

great idea

[worn oar]

[rocky prism]

Wasn't the whole shader cache issue fix the entirety of the last patch?

[urban basin]

Yep

[rocky prism]

thanks I thought i was hallucinating

[feral totem]

I suspect there are multiple sources for the shader issue as many ppl have this problem at different stages even though they tried to fix it multiple times

[rocky prism]

The cherry on top for me is that I upgraded my PC and even though it ran like dog shit on my old PC, it at least would run for a few hours without crashing. Now the game runs wonderfully, but crashes to desktop after less than 15min usually.

Im just being salty, it will get fixed eventually

[coarse sparrow]

looks at kdc2

[feral totem]

Black myth wukong was also playable upon release

[hearty compass]

looks at elden ring

[storm quiver]

is it possible to sell items at full price in game?

[latent kite]

I agree but at the same time I understand that sometimes shit just doesn't go to plan

It isn't a great look for consumers and customers but it just is what it is at this point

It'll come

[latent kite]

Elden Ring was not as ambitious at KCD2 lol

Beneath the surface level Elden Ring was extremely simple by design

Much like all of their games. They're great but they're simple

There's more going on in KCD 2 and Stalker. Or with Stalker there should be more going on

[stable holly]

no

[covert dawn]

S 2 is even better than I thought it would be but I can appreciate the frustration with the bugs and technical issues even though on Xbox series x it’s been a smooth ride tech wise. Ive had it since beg of jan imagine its annoying af waiting if had problems since launch !

[feral totem]

I think part of the frustration comes from how much potential this game has but hasn’t been fulfilled yet. With such a huge map and rich lore so much can be done

[worn oar]

Yes, but occasionally clearing cache wouldn't hurt.

[lofty helm]

[inner mural]

dont forget aswell to reset your settings then changing them after this will also force the game to make new shaders, this also helped my game to not crash and use all ram in rostok

[urban basin]

Elden ring's performance also wasnt the best but most of fromsoft's games are kinda rough on pc

[little quartz]

Im really not a fan of how few sidequests there are in this game

[crystal merlin]

It's patching Wednesday.
Come to me, new game plus 😭😭😭😭

[fiery heron]

aw beans I might have to remote download the update then

[celest goblet]

I would like to see some more faction related side quests, but really I personally don't mind the more self-guided exploration

[drifting niche]

steamdb hasn't updated for 24 hours, which is suspicious

[gritty orchid]

like i said multiple times, update wednesday

[ebon sage]

Hello. Explain why we are waiting 1.5 months for a major patch? Why is there still no roadmap?

[buoyant coyote]

Same, hopefully a dlc or mod somewhere down the line overhauls the faction system

[celest goblet]

Things take time to make and set in stone, sometime longer than expected

[buoyant coyote]

Aye, game development isn't easy and a lot of things can come up that can cause delays.

[dire dagger]

When they say the patch is soon

Soon really meaning

https://tenor.com/view/soon-tm-soon-space-gif-23401891

[prisma lark]

The patch is never late, nor is it it early. It arrives precisely when it means to.

[buoyant coyote]

[celest blaze]

Ong

[celest goblet]

My recommendation is simply to kick back and do other things in your free time. Not really worth worrying about exactly when it will drop. It will happen when it happens.

[celest blaze]

Fr thats what I'm doing tbh

[celest goblet]

Im back on that Snowrunner grind

[lofty helm]

[celest portal]

[thorn ermine]

[feral agate]

Do we know when the update is?

[celest portal]

Should be this week, other than that I don't know. Would rather I wait than to be rushed.

[blazing wing]

Start of february? This week? Never? Who knows.

I think its one of mysteries of the Zone.

[kindred drum]

[thorn ermine]

Patch is coming soon ™️

[outer laurel]

When patch...I hope they will add thicc Duty Tomboys

At this point I don't believe in Multiplayer....with that current state? The multi is either delayed or canceled

[copper kelp]

Let's give them some times anyway we can't expect everything would come out at once without proper time.

[clear elm]

Give them more time

[charred aurora]

@azure nimbus Thank you for the game so far, keep it up ✌️ I ofc understand the circumstances for you and your work. Big fan of the first trilogy.

Can't wait for the end of the year, when A-Life will function as intended and the dlcs being out.

Will start playing then, bought now to support you.

[outer laurel]

I hope so, after all we all put trust in GSC.....hope they will deliver good stuff

Or I'II forgive them if they add ONE duty female officer atleast.....

[lofty helm]

[celest portal]

[slender stratus]

Don’t bother, I’ve been saying this since day one. Their communication has been terrible but people still defend it. Game will be fixed whenever it gets fixed, that’s if they ever do actually fix it. Don’t take anything GSC say seriously at this point and just try to enjoy the game for what it is, a half baked sequel or just play mods for the original trilogy

[lofty helm]

[molten kiln]

U are right too. I’m just eager to play it 🤣

[zealous pumice]

cry, you fools!

[dim topaz]

I cannot even imagine multiplayer in the game right now

[latent kite]

Not really a priority lol

[drifting niche]

Do mods that lengthen the day affect the frequency of emissions?

[grim palm]

[sly viper]

[rapid warren]

hopiummaxxing

[zinc apex]

[outer laurel]

9 months till patch drops

[zinc apex]

It's the wonder of (a) life

[sly viper]

study of the zone shows that a spam of updates happen before we get a patchmision
ofc we wont be able to to call it out until momments of steam staring the download

[lofty helm]

[sly viper]

dont forget to seek shelter too

[zinc apex]

When Bill Gates approve update so they can release?

[rapid warren]

Absolute banger, have fun with these

[zinc apex]

They did company outing yesterday

[outer laurel]

Thanks bro

[nimble cipher]

ronin1485 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[outer laurel]

No Cheeki Breeki 1/10 game

[slender stratus]

I lost all interest, won't reinstall until they finish developing the game. I had fun for 70 hours, game is terribly optimized, runs like absolute garbage in hub areas and the second half of the game just falls apart. I'm pretty much done with it until they fix it and release something for modders. So about 10 years from now is my prediction

[molten kiln]

That’s some sad prediction but I share ur irritation. Maybe 2 years from now

[slender stratus]

I waited 15 years for a half baked broken sequel to the only games I play, and it's my fault for buying into the hype and gaslighting myself into thinking it could live up to the originals

[reef raptor]

boy oh boy 4 changelist updates on steamdb for stalker 2 in under 5 hours

[vale quartz]

Patch drops tomorrow

[jade geyser]
