[dire dagger]

Someone please say it

[loud gate]

I think I can say this, we had limited time with the thing either way.

[dire dagger]

It’s useless if we do

[worn oar]

Jack has the patch, not mol1t! You should ask him

[dire dagger]

Wow

Don’t throw me under the bus

I don’t have shit

[loud gate]

I can't say whether if it was fun or not though

[dire dagger]

[mellow locust]

If you are a tester then admit it. You are still playing the patch ! I know a conspiracy when I smell one

[nimble cipher]

partizan3517 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[loud gate]

[dire dagger]

It was redacted and they changed redacted my favorite part personally was redacted

[worn oar]

mozi enjoying his power

[drowsy blade]

Oh it really is a banned word lmao. (Please don’t ban me Monolith)

[sly matrix]

https://tenor.com/view/ban-hammer-yoshi-mario-discord-gif-12444703281338986867

[dire dagger]

We won’t

[worn oar]

Perfect! Thank you buddy

Test has been concluded then

[drowsy blade]

I have to burn off my fingers now that I actually typed that word out

[loud gate]

Everyone has the same power, the tester role is a public thing.

[dire dagger]

But we have the real power

[mellow locust]

And 10 ave maria in the church to purify yourself

[loud gate]

I am happy to answer anything about the testing, besides what we did exactly and what the patch is about...

[worn oar]

Well yeah! As long as you don't rate, or give details it should be fine.

Well, it's best not to talk about it altogether cuz a slip may happen

[sly matrix]

Csn confirm the test was very test

[dire dagger]

Yes a lot of testing happened

[drowsy blade]

There was a test just now even

[loud gate]

Rahmi, you just weren't forged in NDA

[sly matrix]

There was a test, we failed

[loud gate]

Really liked the moment when Mol1t came and tested all over. Epic moment.

[drowsy blade]

Mozi was born in the NDA, molded by it.

[worn oar]

Let me harass you a bit

[sly matrix]

Next time we'll study more

[dire dagger]

Truly was epic one of the moments of all time

[drowsy blade]

I wonder if a 50/100 is enough to pass

[loud gate]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/830078583275651145/1337880869695782932/zizkamacve.gif

[worn oar]

Well, check his roles and you'll find out mine aswell

[dire dagger]

And mine

[mellow locust]

Ok so if you are not allowed to rate it or speak about specifics. Tell me what you ate while testing and how many times did you need to standup and pee

[dire dagger]

Let me get my notes

I’ll have to get back to you on that

[drowsy blade]

Probably never, he is a robot after all.

[loud gate]

Couldn't get up from my chair, unfortunately.

[worn oar]

[mellow locust]

Ok scratch that. But what about the food

[drowsy blade]

GSC has Mozi strapped to his gaming chair and won’t let him leave until he’s tested out every bug in S2

[little quartz]

Dawg we do not want a board game where is the UPDATE

[loud gate]

Real

[mellow locust]

I don't know if there is a physical conditions going on and I won't ask about it. So food it is xD

[dire dagger]

I think he’d die of thirst long before then

[drowsy blade]

How many “where is the update” posts have we had already today. My guess yesterday was 15 for the entire day.

[little quartz]

also why are there basically no sidequests after sircca. This game is so insanely frontloaded. 10+ quests in the lesser zone and then like 2 in jupiter

[worn oar]

He doesn't have a chair tho! He was standing start to finish

[dire dagger]

The conspiracy deepens

[drowsy blade]

Either that or die of old age

[mellow locust]

So it was a standing test. Thats interesting. Opens up new doors for speculation

[drowsy blade]

Striking as no doors were opened actually

[latent kite]

We were all on a strict diet of only bread whilst testing

[mellow locust]

Bread and water. Old school prison style? I like it

[drowsy blade]

Truly the stalker experience, a diet of bread and sausage.

Otherwise how do you get immersed if you’re not living off of vodka, sausage, bread, cans of questionable meat, and energy drinks?

[loud gate]

Unfinished.

[sly matrix]

Check out this cool bug I found tho

[mellow locust]

Ok guys. But can you guys say if you are actively testing anymore ?

[drowsy blade]

That’s a neat bug, one of the neatest even.

[loud gate]

Yesn't

[latent kite]

I can only say the loaf of bread has changed

[mellow locust]

Some of you are done and some are still going?

[dire dagger]

Maybe yes maybe no

[sly matrix]

A definite perhaps

[thorn ermine]

If the patch removes my bread exo I will be very upset

[dire dagger]

Who?

[latent kite]

Nobody wants to remove the bread

[thorn ermine]

Where?

[dire dagger]

When

[sly matrix]

Why

[dire dagger]

How

[sly matrix]

Yes to all of the above

[celest goblet]

Mysteries for the ages

[zinc apex]

Why u guys have tester role and not me? I'm literally the sigma tester

[dire dagger]

Who are you exactly

[sly matrix]

0 survivors

[dire dagger]

No one survived the tests

All who ventured there never returned

Perhaps there never was a test

[sly matrix]

I still miss me...

[dire dagger]

Same

[zinc apex]

the sigma tester

[sly matrix]

Sometimes it's like I can still read my messages in chat....

[mellow locust]

To the testers. Were you surprised by anything you don't have to say what just if

[dire dagger]

It’s like what happens in fate

Those who reach the true magic never return to tell the tale

All those who test are unable to tell there tale

[opaque vortex]

Is there no lore reason for this? Someone on reddit showed there 80 cut quests

[dire dagger]

You answered your own question

They were cut

[drowsy blade]

I lobe clear sky

[sly matrix]

I lobe clear

[dire dagger]

I lobe sky

[zinc apex]

we all have been there

[worn oar]

Plus a aimed at mozi's head

[dire dagger]

Yah if we say anything we’re not suppose to

Shadow men will appear in the night

And make us disappear

[zinc apex]

poor mozi hope he made it out

[worn oar]

He's still lost in his own mind ever since. I'm using his account in his stead meanwhile, so whatever he says, it's actually me saying it

[zinc apex]

he'll never be the same

[worn oar]

Poor Mozi

[sly matrix]

This account is being run by 7 cats

[sly matrix]

Rahmi's trying to invoke the Sparrowhawk

[zinc apex]

7 cats in a trenchcoat

[worn oar]

@crisp ruin invoked

[sly matrix]

Nah, trenchcoats are so 2010. These are using a bathrobe

It's soft and fluffy

[dire dagger]

No no stop

Don’t bring the horny women here

[worn oar]

Staff team trolling, so professional of you shame

[granite mortar]

Omg
Where?

[hazy jewel]

Did they cancel the update ? It was supposed to be today

[granite mortar]

they cancelled the game
and sold the franchise to Dezowave for 5 crates of Vodka

[worn oar]

Here: @sly matrix

[hazy jewel]

Why did they do that ? The game was fun and i kinda wanted ray tracing

[granite mortar]

cuz Dezowave is the supreme stalker gamemaker

[hazy jewel]

Ah rip ima refund the game i guess

[granite mortar]

poor Dez wont be able to affort bread because of you

[dull birch]

Man's going to starve.

Or die of old age in that chair.

This is STALKER after all.

[lofty palm]

It was?

[hazy jewel]

Yea it was supposed to be this week

[weary token]

Why is that it's so mysterious? I mean it's a patch. Its not like a complete new product. Anyway you are probably forced to sign some contract so I get it your hands are tied. It just stunns me why the company is sooo "dont say anything about the patch its secret, no one should know about etc". Mindegy

[clever bear]

I loved cars in lost alpha

[zinc apex]

this patch probably is such a banger it will blow us out of our socks

[weary token]

yeah big suprise: +500 koupons for everyone

[granite mortar]

I liked them until they repeatedly broke in the only car mission again and again

[zinc apex]

Nicki Minaj Skin for Richter added

[clever bear]

you mean with the lada ? it was a pain yes

[granite mortar]

forgot what it was
but the car sure did die to like 2 AK shots in Canyon

[loud gate]

I am unsure if I should respond to this or not really

[crisp ruin]

I was sleepin

[zinc apex]

How did you escape the GSC dungeon tho?

[worn oar]

Welcome to the waking world

[loud gate]

Bribed Zak

[tulip drum]

Any word on patch 1.1.5? Is it expected soon?

[keen glen]

Just ordered the wish hranter pledge

[weary token]

they should really make that once you get to sircaa you can pickup the RTX 4070 card that can be found there and then once you picked it up the game would switch from DLSS3 to DLSS4 or just add a few frames

[gray glen]

I was literally planning to work on a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. set D&D campaign like a month ago wth😭

[weary token]

do you think they will add more available side quests? not with this patch, but in general

[loud gate]

Yes.

[weary token]

that would be great. I think thats my main gripe with the game.

[dire dagger]

#⭐┃nospoilers_general message

The most recent statement

[weary token]

ahh so my hunch was right, no patch this week.

[dire dagger]

Dude I’ve been saying this for 3 days

[opaque vortex]

80 cut quests is wild tho

[dire dagger]

[crisp ruin]

Wanna sum coffee from him?

[weary token]

whats your opinion about having a pda tab with lore stuff. I mean this should be on the radar of the developers. Also a recap of the story like in the original stalker would be nice

[tulip drum]

Is the patch due out today?

[dire dagger]

No

[weary token]

next week maybe

[dire dagger]

It’s due out next week

[loud gate]

Should be in the game, but it isn't.

[dire dagger]

Moral of the story tbh

Should be but isn’t

Like cars

WHY ISNT THERE A CAR

[loud gate]

Same here, same here.

[dire dagger]

but no jokes aside

Where is fishing

[crisp ruin]

[loud gate]

Thank God there are no cars in the game

[weary token]

I mean, that lore pda's only difficulty would be like tracking 1st encounters, other than that its just a chore. Chore to write every entity's own lore. But it would be an awesome way to track collected artifacts/blueprints

[dire dagger]

Dude I need to kill bandits driving 100 mph down the worst paved roads on the planet

[weary token]

at this point i would be totally okay with cancelling MP if that would mean a more polished SP experience

[mighty chasm]

Ah so the ping wasn't a patch alert, nevermind then

[outer laurel]

Wouldn't mind LADA

[clever bear]

care you'r going to pay for your caps here (with cats pics)

[zinc apex]

hows the diddy party going bro

[outer laurel]

Very good, since the patch didn't dropped, the pants have dropped

as I said earlier....I WILL TOUCH YOU ALL

aw:(

[hybrid cedar]

hey stalkers

[zinc apex]

glad you're having fun

[outer laurel]

you know what else would be fun? Playing stalker 2 with NEW PATCH

[clever bear]

what is the new patch about ?

[stoic swift]

About patching

[outer laurel]

yea funny stuff

[zinc apex]

true true :I

[empty gorge]

update out yet?

[outer laurel]

you wish

[unreal raptor]

Omg. Forgot all about MP. Bin this please. Focus on SP

[crisp ruin]

https://tenor.com/view/caseoh-yourebanned-gif-1226601772032564017

[outer laurel]

😦

[opaque vortex]

Would be great to know but complete radio silence on the subject for a month! I get thibgs might change but can we atleast get a general idea on what to expect

[unreal raptor]

I hope it’s battle royale! Who’s with me bois.

[outer laurel]

none

[opaque vortex]

Also not being able to progress the story for over a month is shameful. I've never experienced a game where I legit can't progress

[unreal raptor]

All the bois are here for Battle Royale 2.0

[opaque vortex]

That hotfix should have addressed the main story blockers aka the sawmill

[unreal raptor]

Tbh haven’t played past that first village I can’t remember the name of. There was no point. Literally spoiling the game for myself.

[granite mortar]

Thats goddamn right

[opaque vortex]

At this point I feel like the work on this patch has ended up breaking s ton of things and they have been scrambling to fix the patch to fix the game

[clever bear]

I don't think so. Thinking about the game Survarium as an example, I believe people are more interested in a single-player experience or, at least, co-op in a single-player setting.

[outer laurel]

old saves will die trust me

[urban basin]

I wouldnt mind starting over again but thats just me

[unreal raptor]

Sorry was sarcasm

[opaque vortex]

A faction war multilayer mide would be amazing! With a certain number of overall lives and the aim is to gather the most artifacts. They could use each region as a seperate mp map

[steady lantern]

Same. Got softlocked on 'Wishful thinking', so I just loaded the previous save to do other stuff in the meantime, but you can only freeroam for so long.

[empty gorge]

oke i sleep again, wake me up when update drops :3

[opaque vortex]

I didn't want to lose 5+ hours and if I kept exploring I'd feel I was ruining the pace

[granite mortar]

Nah
Lets make it an RTS
1v1
Each player controlling one faction and trying to destroy the enemy base

[clever bear]

You know survarium died years ago for a reason, it was more or less what you suggest.

[dire dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/breaking-bad-funny-wtf-wth-jesse-gif-17336046

[granite mortar]

At least it gave stalker modders epic new assets
And we also got the Lokator map so it wasnt all in vain

[opaque vortex]

Oh really I havnt heard of it. Tbh I'd rather no mp and all focus goes on sp! They should do a cyberpunk and scrap mp tbh especially if it's generic team deathwatch stuff

[feral totem]

One thing I don’t see ppl discuss a lot is the performance issue. I really struggle to run it at 1080p with my 3060ti, which is not the case with most of the games

[dire dagger]

If you have a Radeon apparently the game runs much better

[granite mortar]

Cuz everyone already knows the performance is fuсked

[dire dagger]

Also the game currently has terrible cpu overhead

[clever bear]

no problems here on my 4080, I'm probably lucky

[dire dagger]

So unless your cpu is god tier

Game runs like ass

[feral totem]

Yes. The highest setting and lowest don’t make much difference for me. CPU bottlenecks whenever there are npcs

[bright otter]

I got blueballed. Announcing a board game instead of patch

Update this week or nah?

[latent kite]

[rough condor]

CMs know what are we waiting for, and here they come trying to sell another product when the most important one is in shambles

[turbid jay]

Hey guys, been away for a while. Purchased game on premiere, played like 80% of story and was so fed up with terribloe performance, bugs, broken gunplay, broken weapon balance, broken npcs that I decided to give it a wait. Its close to mid February, I fire up my game, and see close to none changes.

What is going on, devs havent piss on the game already, right? I saw some patches. I even saw a boardgame released, like it's a thing??

[weary token]

its very likley that it will be next week, based on official comment today that they dont have an exact date

[latent kite]

Pretty strange analogy when a patch is cooking

[weary token]

you can still turn on framgen and then CPU limited scenarios will be smooth (and without input lag) (That is your HW supports FG)
Then again i know people are like "fúúj framgen mennyé má"
People say i dont need gimmicks, yet they still play games with SSR. And I love how SSR is something you notice and very apparent, yet framegen is nothing like you notice without explicitly looking for it

[rough condor]

No, last patch fixed nothing after a month of wait and the current one is already late. They suck

[latent kite]

https://tenor.com/view/okay-ok-ok-ok-oh-ok-oh-okay-gif-18238573721271168162

[rough condor]

You also might want to check the dictionary for what analogy is

[latent kite]

My guy you're getting bent up about them announcing that the board game is nearing an end with the kickstarter.

At the end of the day that's news and fits the announcement channel. A patch is actively cooking and has been spoken about less than an hour ago in this channel

They're not going to announce anything else as there's no need. The next announcement re. patch will be release

[fiery bone]

Theres a board game?

[latent kite]

The previous patch and what it did or didn't fix is a moot point. The next patch is more significant

[latent kite]

Yeah check #📰┃announcement

[fiery bone]

YOOOOOOOOOOOO

[latent kite]

It is quite expensive though

Different pledges gets you more stuff. Exclusives included. Basically works like a preorder

[fiery bone]

Like Warhammer expensive?

[latent kite]

The beasty one/largest is $500+

[fiery bone]

Tempting

[latent kite]

https://gamefound.com/en/projects/awaken-realms/stalker-the-boardgame

It is indeed tempting lol

[worn oar]

[twin thistle]

the statue thing is huge too, shame it's not in color

[fiery bone]

[latent kite]

I've been considering it for a couple weeks now tbh

I reckon I should just do it

[fiery bone]

The plastic crack calls to all

[sweet lintel]

Does alife work yet?

[zenith yew]

stalker board game before the game it's based on is fixed lol

[pale thicket]

To be fair it fixed shadee compilation, memory leak issues are more than before yes, BUT it fixed shader compilation!

[zealous pumice]

I got excited when I saw the announcements notification, then disappointed when it's only a shameless plug and not some kind of information and communication on what's included in the patch or the modkit lol. They got time to advertise but not to communicate lol

[maiden sierra]

Hello... why is there no weapon maintenance and cleaning in Stalker 2 like in Red Dead Redemption 2 or Metro Exodus... would be so more immersive

[zenith yew]

yeah tbh it does feel like resources are going to the wrong place, like cool board game but we're still waiting on Half-Life to work properly after 6+ months of waiting

[zealous pumice]

It's impossible to implement in UE5 without some actual effort, so they're gonna let the modders do it lol

[sand fiber]

because it wouldn't be 💅

[zealous pumice]

I'm only joking, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed today

[buoyant coyote]

Mods will prob add that later down the line i hope, since that would be a neat thing to have in stalker 2

[zinc apex]

Pls add horse balls mechanic

[latent kite]

What communication do you want exactly?

Soon TM?

[zealous pumice]

Rockstar had time to add contracting horse balls and still release a functioning game

[latent kite]

Rockstar also have significantly more resources and budget

Its like comparing an apple to an orange

[zealous pumice]

They also used theyre own engine so they know it inside and out

[latent kite]

That's also true

UE5 is aids man

[maiden sierra]

And i kinda miss an destructible environment too

[terse topaz]

who would win in a fight
Kravchenko or beard?

[zealous pumice]

Nah just modern devs understanding of optimisation isn't good, even the og stalkers had poor opti tho

[latent kite]

Also seems to be a case of bit off more than they can chew most of the time

Ambitions that can't be met

[zealous pumice]

Skill issue

[covert dawn]

I keep checking the game update screen Xbox oh well hopefully tomorrow

[latent kite]

Git gud

[solid dome]

Wassup, mutant pimpers

[latent kite]

Best just waiting for the announcement

All I can say is it's cooking and coming

[zinc apex]

Also this week is unrealistic. They just checked test results and said that they will preannounce when the patch drops. This week is almost over

[latent kite]

As jack said the other day it'll prob be next week realistically

I get the frustration but it is what it is

[potent mica]

Or the week after next

[latent kite]

Nah I doubt it

Very strongly doubt it

[zealous pumice]

To answer this "Oh hey guys ran into an issue, we're hoping to make some big updates to the game. Sorry for the radio silence, we're looking at hopefully getting the update out end of this week but it might roll onto beginning of next week if we run into any issues. Here's a brief list of some of the upcoming changes:(list some updates and changes and some of the ones tackled in the next update(small roadmap) good hunting stalkers"

[latent kite]

I mean I'm inclined to agree but I also live by it is what it is

[zealous pumice]

It eeeez. what. it. eeez.

[latent kite]

Frfr no cap 😵‍💫

[opaque vortex]

They should not have told us last week it would come this week if they weren't 100% sure! Dems Is a rookie mistake nah whole community will riot

[zealous pumice]

The real tragedy in life is when developers are afraid of the light

[latent kite]

That was good

[zealous pumice]

Real deep, just came to me idk where from

[latent kite]

Very articulate

[zealous pumice]

Pitchforks at the ready guys

[opaque vortex]

That is definatly not too much to ask

[zealous pumice]

I've been saying Friday is a likely date tbh, if not Friday I expect it next week

"this week is almost over" says on Wednesday, what a goober

[zinc apex]

[zealous pumice]

Which means definitely not coming in the next two days as it has to pass microsoft verification

[solemn olive]

when is the new update?

[granite mortar]

Omg
Cat

[steady lantern]

So if stalker 2 is made on UE 5.1, are they able to update it to another version of Unreal later on, or does it mean that the game is fundamentally flawed for good?

[frank condor]

update for what exactly?

[solemn olive]

They can update anytime

[steady lantern]

update to f.e UE 5.2

[latent kite]

5.1 is extremely flawed

[frank condor]

current version is 5.5 now though

[latent kite]

Imagine buttering your bread with a fork

[potent mica]

Pc and Xbox don't necessarily need to be at the same time

[frank condor]

i hate that so many plugins and packs are slacking behind, not supporting 5.5 yet

[coarse sparrow]

bros, kcd2 already has mods announced while we cope for patch in Stalker 2

[loud gate]

Lukyanenka said they "might" (and that's basically a "will") upgrade later on (prob 5.5)

[potent mica]

Can't get myself to even finish kcd1

[celest portal]

Then go play kcd2 then

[latent kite]

Goddammit Henry!

[coarse sparrow]

I am

[celest portal]

good

[latent kite]

We can tell

[clever bear]

too much npc dialogues in kcd

[frank condor]

anyone else waiting for Ray of hope mod?

[latent kite]

Never too much dialogue

What an absurd thing to say

[coarse sparrow]

I like it, its also pretty well written

[latent kite]

Ngl ive yet to buy it but KCD2 is insanely good

I need to finish the first before I make the plunge

Talked one of my friends into buying the first the other day actually

He ended up buying the second a few hours into it. Says it all

[clever bear]

I've read the second is more of the same with some qol. If he stops playing the first without finishing it, sounds like it's not that much his style. But I'm probably wrong.

[frank condor]

agree, too much yappin is not everyones cup of tea

[latent kite]

You kinda expect it going into an rpg though

[potent mica]

That's what most reviews say. The first one is good and has good writing as well, it's just a slow game to get going

[granite coral]

Guys the new patch is delayed?

[rapid warren]

I need to check it out, a fellow slavic game after all

How good is 1st KCD by the way? I still have it in my Epic games library after some free giveaway

its cus its a filter

I feel like the latest patches broke the game even more

[celest goblet]

Releasing a patch is itself a fair bit of work. Developing, testing, passing cert, then distributing

[lofty helm]

[fallow garden]

Where patch

[keen nexus]

I'm at the last mission and it feels so sad this is it I don't want this game to end

245 hours I honestly don't know how people can complete it in under 40

[hearty compass]

thats why you dont test and just push to prod
on a friday
at 4pm
then go home

[drowsy blade]

I don’t think people can complete it in under 60 to 70 tbh

I’m on my second playthrough and I’m still roughly 36 hours in and halfway through the game

[hearty compass]

at 40 hours in i was still hanging out hugging beard

[drowsy blade]

But then again I do take the time to complete every side quest that I can find

My first play through took me roughly 83 hours

[keen nexus]

The world is just so huge and detailed, seeing it all was awesome

[dire dagger]

post questions in ask gsc dont ping mol1t

[hearty compass]

@ mol1t what will it take to make my dad love me

[drowsy blade]

I can answer that for you, impossible. Next question.

[hearty compass]

@drowsy blade what about my mom

[drowsy blade]

Next patch should fix it.

[hearty compass]

oh bet

[drowsy blade]

Yeah, it probably would’ve taken me longer to finish the first time but I didn’t really explore up around the Cement Factory that much which I intend to correct this play through

[fiery bone]

Molt when Game?

[fallow garden]

no..

👁️ 👁️

[main frigate]

Sooo, tomorrow's a patch day? 👀

[dire dagger]

next week

[hazy jewel]

It was delayed ? Damn it was supposed to be this week

[dire dagger]

im 90 percent sure i told you already

[celest blaze]

Who said it was supposed to be

[dire dagger]

do you people just ignore everything i say

[crystal merlin]

Where did you say that lol

[fading kiln]

wait did they add ukranian voice acting?
as in the lips actually match the ukranian words rather looking liuke its been dubbed over english words?

[dire dagger]

figures

[drowsy blade]

Not in the cinematic cutscenes I’ve found out, but in the in-game dialogue the Ukrainian voice acting does match up with the lip syncing

[fading kiln]

was that the case before too?

[drowsy blade]

It’s been the case ever since I started playing the game

[crystal merlin]

New game plus next week too?

[hazy jewel]

I mean it could be this week still not 100% confirmed that it’s delayed to next week

[celest portal]

Kot

[drowsy blade]

Xbox is probably just taking five billion years to figure how how update works

[hazy jewel]

I wish it was pc only

[dire dagger]

trust me its not this week

[celest blaze]

Idk if new game plus even makes sense lol

[hazy jewel]

Will it have ray tracing support finally

[celest blaze]

Ngl I'm curious if future LoTZ pc port will have hardware supported raytracing

[hazy jewel]

Why add dlss if the game doesn’t even have ray tracing lol

[dire dagger]

i dont think i can even answer that question

it does have ray tracing

[celest blaze]

It does

[dire dagger]

it just uses terrible dog shit software ray tracing

[celest blaze]

Imagine clear sky with full path tracing man that would be PEAK

[hazy jewel]

Might aswell not even have added software raytracing and should’ve just used hardware ray tracing / path tracing

[dire dagger]

i disagree

[brazen wind]

Yoooo, is the game fixed now? or is it still crap? been a while since I read this discord

[dire dagger]

come back in like 3 months tbh

[celest blaze]

Cp2077 did raytracing fantastically imo

[dire dagger]

ray tracing is great

[drowsy blade]

I lobe clear sky

[dire dagger]

the ray tracing in stalker 2 is not

[celest blaze]

Fr

I get better fps in maxed 2077 with path tracing then maxed stalker 2

[celest goblet]

If you are gonna force it should at least have hardware support

[dire dagger]

this is basically the difference between the stalker 2 rt and the cyberpunk rt

[celest blaze]

Fr

[dire dagger]

software rt is just noisy

[hazy jewel]

Omg it’s night and day it’s so much better

[dire dagger]

well

thats not rt

thats just software vs hardware rendered 3d

software rt is like using a swiss army knife to try and kill someone

instead of a sword

but worst of all

it just further taxes the performance instead of leveraging the hardware in your video card

but they promised hardware rt would come eventually

so

[dire dagger]

like it or not the cat is long since out of the bag

once again the industry has already heavily shifted

from what i understand

even though you can make rasters look like ray tracing

its way harder

i mean from what ive heard from how its talking about the enterprocess of adding software rt at least has been massively streamlined

[urban basin]

Raster>software RT
But Hardware RT is just too good

[dire dagger]

this is true

devs will do whats easiest

if software rt is easier than raster

thats what there gonna do

thats one game

[terse topaz]

think the devs are gona pull a cyber punk and go LOL no multiplayer when we get six months down the line?

[dire dagger]

consider the multi player will probably suck ass

i wouldnt be surprised

it would just be a cheater filled disaster

[terse topaz]

:< I wanted to play artifact hunt

[dire dagger]

so we agree

[terse topaz]

either the graphics make the money
or
good quality product makes the money

stalker 2 looks all fancy and nice

[dire dagger]

rt gets better all the time so before too long it will be good enough no one will care

progress marches on

rt is just better

i mean

the rt in stalker 2 is just broken lol

[finite narwhal]

Is playing on a controller better or no?

[dire dagger]

no idea tbh

[finite narwhal]

Cuz I have a Azerty kb but it’s annoying there a item in my quick menu that is z and can’t change it in settings and because of that I’m not able to walk and equip a weapon at the same time

[dire dagger]

game is trying to tell you something

put down the controller pick up the keyboard

[terse topaz]

why did they have to use ue 5

Da money
why did the game get rush launched
da money
why do game have to be way it is
dA MOney
Why make stalker 2?
da moooney
also stalker's kinda cool
I guess

[dire dagger]

power savings argument no one cares about

he just said controller

🤨

[finite narwhal]

^^

[dire dagger]

oh yah

sorry my bad

so those keys have been like that since launch

i assume its bugged

[finite narwhal]

No it’s not bugged you can change every bind you want but the bind for flashlight in your wheel and the radiation thing not a single option

[terse topaz]

spend 5 bucks at wally world and get a normal keyboard
or spend 30 and get a controller
or be a giga chad and use xpadder to remap all your keys

[dire dagger]

now your speaking my language

MORE BOOB

FUCK YAH

DOWN WITH RAY TRACING

[finite narwhal]

Azerty is mostly used in our country….

[dire dagger]

the quick use item options have 2 unbindable keys

thats what you mean right

[finite narwhal]

Yes

[dire dagger]

yah thats just bugged

im pretty sure

[finite narwhal]

The items under the guns in your wheel, well yeah it’s since launch then

[languid obsidian]

is the game optimized ? im planning to do a em1 only playthrough and just oneshot everything in front of me

[terse topaz]

dang yall still get amazon?

[terse topaz]

AZERTY. The AZERTY layout simply moves the output of the Q, W, and M keys. It is most often used in France and other surrounding countries.
The easiest way to change your keyboard functions on Windows 11 is to use the Keyboard Manager utility. The Keyboard Manager is one of many utilities available in Microsoft PowerToys, which are a collection of productivity tools that allow users to customize their Windows experience.

[finite narwhal]

Yes we got our own Amazon site in Belgium and thnx guys for the help I will see what I can do probably won’t buy an another keyboard for just stalker.

[terse topaz]

you should buy one that has light up keys like a cool gamer dude

[dire dagger]

my keyboard

is a new model

F

[terse topaz]

mine is a chineese LED keyboard that is broken with sharp plastic edges and years of abuse, half the keys are moved around for comfort making it impossible for new users to type on 🙂

funnily enough despite all the hang-ups I have about the game
it looks great, and the story is better than metro last lights so the quota's are filled for me.

[finite narwhal]

Oh I just saw a video that there is coming a patch update coming this week and normally the bindings should be fixed then

[noble surge]

Getting a big announcement ping and seeing a board game instead of patch drop is pretty funny lol

I am addicted to expensive keyboards and my addiction twitched inside reading this

[orchid gale]

Is somebody gonna Match my freak

[noble surge]

I get it. I just treat them like desktop furniture and love finding unique looking ones. Managed to stop buying new stuff a short while ago but still overspent pretty ridiculously lol

[orchid gale]

Blue clicky switches or it’s not a keyboard. And that’s a fact

[dire dagger]

blue switches are ass

[noble surge]

I'm ok with clickies but please do not bring any Cherry MX Blues into a 10m radius around me

[orchid gale]

NU UH

[dire dagger]

i have a model f

yes they fucken suck

[noble surge]

I use 4 boards in rotation and the one I'm on now is the worst sounding one lol

[orchid gale]

Honestly the louder the better, the clicking silences the voices

[noble surge]

You can make loud boards that sound clean without the clicks

[orchid gale]

No clicks are a necessacity, keeps the bugs away

[noble surge]

On the flip side I hate most silent switches. Not all, but most

[celest portal]

My keyboard is a steelseries. Need some sort of feedback when typing or I can't seem to type without looking if it's completely silent.

[noble surge]

Might prefer double amputation over typing on Cherry Silent Reds ever again

[orchid gale]

Soft and silent keyboards make me uncomfortable, I don’t know if I’m typing or not

[celest portal]

Me too, it bothers me.

[orchid gale]

My roommate has one and it genuinely upsets me, like trying to drive automatic. Just icky

[celest blaze]

I LOVE my mechanical keyboard

[noble surge]

Same but on an unhealthy level

[celest blaze]

I will touch you

[static compass]

I got 99 problems, but a patch ain't one

[orchid gale]

Hell yeah

[noble surge]

I think that's a your keyboard problem rather than general mechanical keyboard problem. Absolutely not the case.

[raven hare]

I've had particular problems with Corsair K70s ... I seem to obliterate the keys on them. I replaced the ~3rd one with a X50Q with Omron switches and I've had zero issues in ~3 years.

[noble surge]

Don't wanna sound elitist and go too off topic or anything but keyboards from gaming brands are horribly priced and of comparatively horrible quality

[lofty palm]

should i wait for this next patch to start stalker 2 for the first time? or should i just start it now? ideally i'd like to have the best experience.

[jade geyser]

wanna best experience? w8 one more year

[thorn ermine]

Ten more if you enjoy modded

Maybe five

[robust kestrel]

I killed the button in 3 months. Got the double shot keycaps, these dont crack. Should be standard, fkkn corsair.

[outer laurel]

Anybody knows what's the F purpouse of Bubble PDA?

[weak delta]

hows the alife now have not looked since release

[stiff pasture]

Better but definitely room for improvement

[drowsy blade]

Marginal improvements since launch but they are working on bigger changes to it in coming updates (not sure if it’s gonna be in this one)

[stiff pasture]

A-Life, Quest fixes and Weapon rebalances are my three wishes

[lofty palm]

are a lot of the mutants still bullet sponges?

[stiff pasture]

Pseudogiants and Chimeras are still (Rightfully) beefy as hell but most mutants are manageable

[weary token]

seems to be delayed to next week

[stiff pasture]

Has that actually been confirmed or is it more ‘it came to me in a dream’ stuff

[weary token]

judging by the "official" announcement here from the community manager yesterday "dont have exact dates" I highly doubt its gonna be today or tomorrow
I dont think it goes like: What now boss should we hit it? no! Youknow what, hit it!

[stiff pasture]

Truthfully I’m waiting patiently, doing a collection run in early game currently

While I do agree with some people more communication would be very welcome, I’ve seen infinitely worse in other games

[weary token]

They do communicate however with their initial statetment like "expect frequent patching" or the last patch's "Expect a big patch very soon" were just "bait", making people impatient due to false expectations.
Also putting answers to the GSC answers channel here in discord with "I dont know" "We cant share anything" only worsened things.
And last but not least most people are stuck with broken main quests and they have to wait until they release a "big patch", whereas a "frequent patching" would have been more feasible

[meager kindle]

i just hope i feel the difference in the game lol

[noble surge]

Is this an attack on Haaland

[crisp ruin]

[noble surge]

Tfw patch just makes the game not launch lol

[meager kindle]

i havent saw any differences in game in like all the patches they released so far other than UI changes

[sly viper]

day 4 of patch week!

[feral totem]

Only hope there would be some performance improvements

[noble surge]

Official DLSS4 SR support pls

[main frigate]

Lack of any communication from GSC is the thing which pisses me off the most

It was the same before release (no real gameplay or info about the game for years), now simmilar situation after release regarding patches or roadmap

[noble surge]

Tbh that was why I barely paid attention to the game at launch. Glad I hopped on board though

[orchid gale]

Bro overpaid for a 5070

[noble surge]

Nah, DLSS4 upscaling works on everything from 20 series. I'm still stuck on a launch-day MSRP 3080

[orchid gale]

That’s actually dope, glad they added it to their other cards ngl

[noble surge]

You can DLL swap and NVPI now for huge image quality boost in Stalker 2. It just is a hassle and I wish they'd do it fuss free officially

[orchid gale]

Rare nvidia w

[noble surge]

50 series pricing is downright extortionate and I refuse to cave in

[main frigate]

Why GSC could not go Bohemia Interactive path? They make Dev Diares, RFI's, Interviews etc. and community knows what exactly going on with developing of Reforger. Stalker's 2 development was and is a real mystery for a community.

[orchid gale]

The 5070 ti looks decent for the price (nvidia standards) but your 3080 has more cuda cores then the base 5070 lol

[noble surge]

Eh, there is this war thing going on y'know...

[noble surge]

I'll just have to wait and see. 5080 being 8-11% faster than 4080/4080 Super just killed any faith I had left in this gen of their stuff. A used 4080 Super is probably my best bet for an upgrade if I need one

[orchid gale]

Honestly man the used gpu market is cooked, 2 year old used cards selling for close to retail from what I’ve seen, 3080 still a good card though. I’m an AMD shill

[noble surge]

I have no brand loyalty - here's hoping FSR4 is a banger so we have more competition

[main frigate]

Once again war argument... Ok, but if they are developing a game so what stops them from giving us some more info? Btw, some of them are in Prague already, some in Kiev which occasionally got hit by russians but life here is going on normally. They are not sitting in Bakhmut trenches with laptops and code the game xD GSC also had problem with a communication even before the war...

[noble surge]

/waves to the ghost of Intel in the distance

[orchid gale]

Yeah but it’s only being released on the new gen cards 😭, 9070 stuff

[orchid gale]

Bro shut up and go play the game, why are people even still complaining and arguing about it? I’ve been gone for months and y’all still saying the same stuff.

It’s a fun game, go play it.

[dim topaz]

Ofc. i play Tekken (and osu at the time) those kb not having it easy

But they told me mechanical keyboards are for life, damn you Linus

[noble surge]

Every studio has its quirks and you're right that this problem predates the war, but given everything that happened over the past 3 years I'm willing to let a lot more slide in GSC's case.

Besides, I'm speaking as someone who played the game from start to finish with a new save post 1.1 with zero major bugs and no broken quests. I understand that people want a new patch but from where I'm sitting it doesn't look like the game is crying out for one. It works. It could be a lot better, but it straight up works.

[orchid gale]

Click click click click click click

[noble surge]

Besides, they did a hack job with the shader compilation update at the end of December. I wouldn't want to see them repeat such a quick fix again. If this big one is in stability testing longer than expected, then let it be

[orchid gale]

@main frigate just get a card with more Vram

[main frigate]

Watch your language. Channels like this are made to discuss things and provide ours opinions. Even complaints.

[orchid gale]

No

[noble surge]

I'd understand more if this sort of intensifying criticism happened during the first week or two when the game was still at 1.0 and in a much worse state

[ionic mauve]

Hello fellows

[noble surge]

Right now yes, poor communication but after 1.1 I don't think it's anywhere near that broken - A-Life aside

[orchid gale]

If it’s a valid original complaint yes, but you are literally just regurgitating at this point.

[orchid gale]

I wished I saved my first playthrough for the A-life patch.

The magic was gone for me when I tried a second run

[noble surge]

I stopped my pre-1.1 run right after the game started breaking... so like halfway through the story? Was already vibing a lot with the exploration so didn't mind the second run

A-Life post 1.1 is too Far Cry-ish but I don't mind it that much outside of some broken spawn rates in Prypiat and Cooling Towers

[ionic mauve]

Are there any tips channels on this discord. I'm afraid that my skills are just not on par with the game.

[noble surge]

#❔┃gameplay-advice

[ionic mauve]

Thank you very much

[orchid gale]

I made it to Pripyat before my game bricked, after that an entire building didn’t spawn in and I just couldn’t continue.

Wasn’t fixed last time I checked but not even console commands could fix it for me

[noble surge]

An entire building!? wtf lol

[main frigate]

If there is a problem with something people should talk about it. Same goes about A-life, if there was no massive complains about this I doubt that Dev's would prioritize fixing it. And regarding your attitude towards me and telling me that "I should shut up" is inappropriate in public discussions. Grow up.

[noble surge]

The worst thing I saw in my post-1.1 run was an injured major story NPC casually fading into the ground in a cutscene lmao

[hazy helm]

If you have the freedom to express your criticisms ppl have the freedom to comment on said criticisms

and if you're that hurt about such criticism
Sucks to be you

[main frigate]

But not in that way

[hazy helm]

you're doing your freedom of speech wrong dude

[orchid gale]

Yes haha, a house was just gone and I couldn’t talk to a scientist because of it.

It was during a story choice quest so it nuked all the fail safes checking for choice and quest completion things.

[noble surge]

Them releasing a humongously massive update after having sold a million copies in a few days was enough to earn my faith. The extra patches over what should've been the holiday break for them sealed it. I have zero doubts that they're working on it - especially since there are still big pieces of content to be added.

I get your frustration but it's just too much and too often at this point in time when we essentially know what's happening. We're just waiting for the patch and release notes to drop.

[orchid gale]

The devs aren’t even in this chat, best way to reach them is by sending a ticket on their website.

Telling me to grow up but you’re crying on discord is wild

[noble surge]

That is wild lol

Now that I think back again seeing like 7 Monolith dudes pop out of nowhere near the playground in Prypiat was probably worse than the cutscene but the game had a track record for that sort of thing so it slipped my mind

[main frigate]

I'm not crying. I'm just pointing a problem with lack of communication

[noble surge]

Fair enough and it's been said here ad infinitum. It's been a whole month-plus of "gib patch" in different writing styles

[outer laurel]

Ok when patch

[hazy helm]

If Griga hires me, for you, Yesterday

[outer laurel]

Alteast it will be a toast from the Zone

[orchid gale]

So damn funny when stuff like that happens, I had an infinitely respawning monolith solider once, I just kept head tapping him and stacking up bodys till my game crashed. (He’s respawn where he died)

I miss 1.0😂

[outer laurel]

When they will add Stalker 2 card game?

[noble surge]

Truly a dedicated servant of the Monolith

[noble surge]

I have been wasting way too much time playing dice in a KCD1 full replay. If Stalker 2 had an in-game minigame I'd be so toasted

[lofty helm]

[zealous pumice]

[ionic mauve]

Do you guys just feel kinda empty with monolith gone? It just doesn't feel like there is any greater threat out there anymore. I hope that next dlc adds the back in some way. Like, I get it story wise but darn does it feel awesome when you first meet them in call of pripyat.

[dim topaz]

Nah logically they should stay gone after CoP

I was hoping they'd lean more into the Sircaa vs Spark thing in S2 being the main conflict

[ionic mauve]

I honestly don't know what spark is but sircaa is like the military now, right?

[sly viper]

oi oi no spoilers here

[ionic mauve]

Sorry

I forget that less people played CoP than fallout when it feels like such a good game that I cannot even imagine someone passing by it without having gone through it. Like, it feels like an icon of it's time honestly

[fallow garden]

Where update

[tiny token]

le obvious problem devs are aware of..... would not be fixed without...... le complaining

[pulsar cradle]

Is anyone else having problems with EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION writing address 0x000001e3e06b2e80 errors which cause crash to desktop?

Been like this since 1.1.4 update, tried almost everything to fix it. I'm waiting for the next patch now 😦

[sly viper]

complaining seems to be the only major motivation for change from those who deliver any type of services unfortunately

[pulsar cradle]

That depends if they care about the process or the end result. In big companies it's usually just the process that matters

[tiny token]

i aint against complaining but acting like devs are not aware of the actual biggest problem about their game is lol

[empty gorge]

gib update

@rapid warren And Batcave came in...told you my legos will be faster than patch

[rapid warren]

haha, true. Now you can kill some times with those builds while waiting for a patch

[zinc apex]

Mol1t drop patch pls

[outer laurel]

Hell yea, atleast on lego I can rely to receive what I buy

[loud gate]

I once bought a lego set and it missed a piece ;d

[rapid warren]

They do always deliver ever since I started with my first ever lego miners set

Oh boy was this line of sets amazing

[granite coral]

Guys anyone know when will the patch be dropped?

[empty gorge]

early februari

[granite coral]

it is almost half of feb

[dire dagger]

Dealing with that right now

Been building this guy

Only to realize as I reached the end

I’m one piece short of multiple pieces

[empty gorge]

🤷‍♂️ tell that to gsc i guess

[dire dagger]

Bro as it stands

Currently there is

But most likely that means next week

Just trust me

[empty gorge]

did you know one of the community managers has 35h played on stalker 2 and another has 65

[dire dagger]

Unlike us

[outer laurel]

You can write to lego and say you miss a piece

[dire dagger]

They’re busy

[dire dagger]

This isn’t an official Lego set sadly

[empty gorge]

true, i can see that from gsc answers and their level of activity towards the community they manage

[outer laurel]

Then don't write to lego, you will be blacklisted

[dire dagger]

Eh

Lego is pretty chill

The model is made from real LEGO

The model is just custom

[outer laurel]

I used to have, the big one with a drill

[dire dagger]

Also why it’s red

And not yellow

Lego only makes all the pieces for this model in red officially

[outer laurel]

Ooooh, makes sense then

[dire dagger]

It’s 3916 pieces total 1:8 2002 spirit r rx7

[outer laurel]

Can't you buy a piece? I thought they cost a penny or something? A single piece

[rapid warren]

The One that spinned when you moved it? I remember getting it for christmas when I was little, a core memory

[dire dagger]

I did

Currently waiting for them to show up

[outer laurel]

I need to rebuild it now XD if I find all the parts

[outer laurel]

Sweet, show later the fully build model

[rapid warren]

Yea me too but I'd probably take forever to find all those pieces, but that set was peak

[dire dagger]

Will do

Might be a bit though since I’m waiting for the only none Lego part to arrive

Which are custom rims

[outer laurel]

Lego used to rock with OG themes like Agents, Space Police, Power Miners

[dire dagger]

Oh wait there out for delivery

After 25 fucken days

LETS GO

[outer laurel]

I'm currently on 3/5 with a ferrari Technic model. Takes ages to build...but that's thanks to my lazy ass

[dire dagger]

The model used

Like

500 black technic pins

[dire dagger]

Fair I mean I’ve been taking it slow

I started almost a month ago

And only now am I almost done

[outer laurel]

For me it's 2 xd

[dire dagger]

Dang

[rapid warren]

Those early themes were just so unique and original. Something that licenced stuff like star wars cant really scratch

[dire dagger]

This is the thing

No one actually cares about Star Wars anymore

[vale quartz]

patch drops tomorrow

[dire dagger]

Next week*

[outer laurel]

Still is the most profitable license

[dire dagger]

Still don’t know how

Like bruh all this new Star Wars stuff is straight ass

[outer laurel]

Clone wars set always sell

Disney movies? HELL NO

[dire dagger]

We need Lego rock raiders 2

[outer laurel]

Bring back Agents....I still need to get that mobile command center..

[dire dagger]

No bro Lego rock raiders was peak

It’s the alpha version of power miners

Based as hell

[outer laurel]

Oh damn I see

[outer laurel]

Damn bro tis yours?

[dire dagger]

I mean I have all those but not mine personally no

[outer laurel]

Oh, but still looks good after those years

[dire dagger]

From the year of our lord

1999

I found out one of the mini figures I got from that series for 10 bux on eBay back in the day when I was like 11

Is now worth 400 dollars

It didn’t come in a set

It came in its own single figure pack

Only way to get him

[outer laurel]

Well damn, how much are they worth now? Those sets

[dire dagger]

Not a ton

Since there all fairly low piece counts

[outer laurel]

Sounds good

[lofty helm]

[dire dagger]

Today will be a good day

[outer laurel]

Atleast those don't cost a fortune

[rapid warren]

🔥 🔥

[zinc apex]

Rock Raiders 🔥

[vale quartz]

[alpine swallow]

last week they had a post saying it was this week

[copper kelp]

Well test went south i guess

[static compass]

[hearty compass]

Mol1t kissed my cheek and whispered sweet things about a patch tomorrow.

[crisp ruin]

https://tenor.com/view/love-cat-hertz-gif-20299255

[static compass]

I love you too, fellow kot enjoyer

[unreal raptor]

Mid.Feb.

[crisp ruin]

[brazen saffron]

then why KCD2 is so good and well optimised

[crisp ruin]

I ate the patch

[unreal raptor]

not you dint — this patch is going to be far too big. 2000gb for a hotfix.

[static compass]

If you havin game problems, I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but a patch ain't one

[unreal raptor]

99 ctds

[static compass]

99 kots

[dire dagger]

[fallow garden]

Update when

[dire dagger]

Soon ™️

[hearty compass]

Must be a pretty epic patch considering how long its taken to 🧑‍🍳

[dire dagger]

You’ll see

[static compass]

[dire dagger]

[crisp ruin]

lemme send kots

https://tenor.com/view/cat-gif-25481457

[crisp ruin]

[celest goblet]

Either epic patch or one fixing very annoying bugs that won't get squashed easily is my guess

[noble surge]

If this isn't bait... Based in Czech Rep so of course they're far, far less affected by the war since no evacuation and no concern over threat to their lives. They also decided to stick with the engine they know well even if it's dated, and they keep the tech scope well under controlled with zero unnecessary ray tracing or any of that stuff.

And this could be a bit controversial given this is the Stalker server, but imo even the first KCD (after a few years of patches) was a far better game than any Stalker title is/was - although they aren't really directly comparable since they aren't even in the same genre.

[crisp ruin]

I'm going back to somewhere

I'LL BAC

[dire dagger]

Moral of the story game should have been delayed till June or July

But that didn’t happen so here we are

[noble surge]

Very true but given what GSC folks said I think they ran out of time and money anyway

[dire dagger]

[celest goblet]

And energy to keep crunching

[unreal raptor]

Early Access A-Life 0.2

[dire dagger]

Gsc is making an effort to fix and then hopefully add back in cut content

[celest goblet]

And people would have lost their minds at another long delay lol

[static compass]

Based

[unreal raptor]

I disagree — would of preferred this tbh!

[dire dagger]

I mean he’s right

The community was completely fucken done with delays

[unreal raptor]

First impressions and experiences mean a lot.

[crisp ruin]

At last this is isnt cyberpunk 2077

[sly viper]

if you ever step on my patch🎶
I'll bring you down🎶
I'll bring you down🎶

[dire dagger]

Gsc played there hand badly

[static compass]

I'm pretty sure one of the reasons they went ahead and released it was because "Another delay would have killed them"

[dire dagger]

It is what it is

[crisp ruin]

Just don't use Unreal Engine

it's cancer

[dire dagger]

They should have been more generous with length of delays

[unreal raptor]

Unreal sucks above all and i despise it. It's really ruining the industry. Terrible.

[dire dagger]

Alas that didn’t happen

[sly viper]

or set expectations more generous

[celest goblet]

Hindsight is 20/20

[unreal raptor]

Older versions are better but since late 4 and 5 unreal it's a joke how these games all have the same issues

[dire dagger]

Indeed

None of this matters

The game is the way it is

All we can do is hope it improves

[static compass]

I still think the game is good

But could be better

[gritty orchid]

i miss the delayed textures loading from unreal engine 3 and 4

[azure dock]

I hope the upcoming patch is ambitious. Under promise and over deliver is the order of the day. Please don’t be a disappointment!

[unreal raptor]

it's a nice trip down memory lane at the mo — nostaglia covers a lot of the main issues.

[crisp ruin]

Wish I had a nuke, send to Epic Games HQ for creating Unreal Engine

[dire dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/riddler-paul-dano-new-rockstars-thumbnail-does-he-know-he-doesnt-know-gif-27552850

[sly viper]

the lack of patch notes is disturbing

[unreal raptor]

and — roadmap?

[dire dagger]

Trolling you guys is too much fun

[static compass]

[sly viper]

that was force hand by steam. obviously it rushed the plans for it

[heavy sable]

Is the patch out? Haven't played in 2 weeks

[crisp ruin]

Frog pregnancy is crazy

[unreal raptor]

please kill multiplayer or at least say it's the very bottom of a long list of problems?

[crisp ruin]

[dire dagger]

Bro what

[gritty orchid]

[dire dagger]

Soon ™️

[sly viper]

are we there yet?

[unreal raptor]

Late this week, early Feb sir.

[noble surge]

I feel like that mp mode is just going to be entirely not worth it at this point lol

[gritty orchid]

id rather having a robust modding sdk/platform than multiplayer tbh

[dire dagger]

I mean multiplayer will be a cheaters paradise

[unreal raptor]

They should seriously take a vote on that feature — no one seems to really want it?!

[lofty helm]

[dire dagger]

I mean

[static compass]

I want it

[dire dagger]

My biggest issue with multiplayer is

[unreal raptor]

people. YOU PEOPLE.

[dire dagger]

I don’t think the games gunplay is really good enough to translate into multiplayer well

[crisp ruin]

Since this is paid game so... It cannot be. I've seen it on Fallout 76, the "boring" games doesn't have creators somereason

[lofty helm]

Ill keep on posting until patch drops

[twin pulsar]

If they make multiplayer, do you think modders will be able to host private servers with modded gamemodes?

[noble surge]

Infinite memory leaks for all
