hello there
Yep, I just save and force quit, bit annoying but it’s a quick and easy fix
daily reminder || cats suck ||
Guys i have a big bug in the game. Alife doesn't seem to be working at all. How come
Update when
update at 23:99

Just noticed this part of the map. Wasn't there before 100%. Was it unlocked by some main quest or due to the latest patch??? Looks like an end-game "no return" linear area. Can't post pics for some reason, but it's just east of Pripyat, the generators section.
Modeled but not part of the game yet I believe, will likely be part of the future DLCs
I was worried that GSC would make you reload every revolver bullet individually. It turns out a speed-loader comes standard in this survival-shooter lol
Ima soon firing ma laza
Still waiting for that patch with new game plus 😭
I don't get why so many people want NG+ for S.T.A.L.K.E.R., it just doesn't fit the franchise in my opinion.
A separate single-player freeplay game mode makes far more sense.
hey, want a break?
wat?
don't play dumb
Owned
if you want to mute me - mute me, I realized a long time ago that 90% of moderators here are inconsistent and ban those they personally don't like. I understand that you decided for some reason that I spam (4 messages a day, lol). Then what do you say about a guy who replies to every picture of a cat with OMG CAT, 10+ messages in a row, have you ever warned him not to spam?
5mins time out before an MMA match
Ok I didn't know it was going to be like this
it was for @boreal mica , missed
You have a point bro
civil unrest on GSC discord before proper a-life update. Let's gooo
How so? Why 90%? We have a very specific guidelines for that, so it's highly unlikely to have it occur. No one here bans or mutes on their own accord
I appreciate your level of self-awareness.
That’s not true……

Everytime I see druid on here he's kinda aggressive for no real reason tbh
what rule did I break?
Alright bro here’s the deal
how? Do we really punish ppl we don't like?
Some of us have been known to this yes
Not naming names but
With that sticker from a few minutes ago? Rule 9 is probably what it would end up falling under.

Buh
Please don’t post the cum sticker
are u admin? did I ask u about smth?
I didn't say you did? I only commented on a message I wanted to correct. How did this situation started?
Not just you
Why tho
Because it’s gross
It's just a funny image
You're asking what rule did you break; I'm saying that depending on the strictness of the moderators, that sticker could potentially be seen as a violation of Rule 9.
Well, I can see your thoughts, but even so, we always mend this kinds of disputes do we not.
since when is the pregnant stalker sticker banned on the server? It's been used since the game came out
It's snorkover now
I’ve never seen it before till stalker 2 dropped
Look I’m just asking for you not to do it
Need me something more to add to things up or not? Cause you're constantly pushing the limit and checking where the line is. There were plenty of reason to get you out of this server, yet you're still here, gaslighting and then playing the innocent one.
its not even a snork, its just a pregnant guy with stalker's helm
This is nuts lol
I'm just saying, the preg stalker image is less of our worries than the other issues that are more serious.
And still, I just asked you
Yeah me neither.
Hell, I didn't even realize that the pregnant emojis were a thing until release day because I had never seen them used.
You don't use WhatsApp?
Other issues I can’t do anything about now
If you want to give me some examples
In dms
I can look into it
I'm talking about the release of stalker 2
This whole thing be like:
"so what did you get muted for"
"idk some silly emote"
Nope.
Plus I'm in the US, pretty much every major carrier offers unlimited data plans for relatively low prices so WhatsApp just isn't needed.
Not that I know of atm, but was just trying to say, muting someone over that image is kind of silly.
Well im not doing that
Well alright. But WhatsApp has pregnant man emoji's so nothing bad about that @north violet
And instead am asking you to stop
That just implies it's going to happen if someone does it again
there are a lot of ppl used it, but this druid wanna ban me so hardly, since my last ban, I haven't broken a single rule, no snorks, no obama stickers, I accepted the rules of the game, but he keeps choking me.
I didn't say anything was bad about it, just saying that I had never seen it until S2's release day.
It does but that’s why I’m asking you first to stop
Damn it really has come to this lmao
Look he was just gonna mute all of you guys
Okay everyone, let's all cut it off. No need to extend this discussion any further.
Snorking is banned here and by that I strictly mean the sexual kind. Spamming is also dislikeables and may fall under some of the rules depending on how it was conducted.
The pregnant stalker emoji is not banned, but it's somewhat disturbing to some ppl, thus, it may be wisest to not spam it with the intention to disturb, otherwise it may fall under rules too.
So now, let's all calm down and move on.
@jade geyser
Im trying to be nice
No i wasn't
Not helping


Bruh I only sent it once at this moment, and I was gonna get muted for that 
Well yah didn’t alright
I'm more after the cum sticker than this
Issues but yes
You can post just about any other sticker you want
As long as it doesn’t contain any sexual messages or slurs
no one ever told me that this sticker is banned, I saw people other than me using it and no one warned them either
but ok no cum stickers anymore
Sexual stuff are not to be tolerated, so yes.
We have put our foot down in terms of talking or posting snorks in any sexual way and to be consistent it must be this way
Yet, he's not banned, muted or warned and he implying me some personal vendetta.
Omg
Cat
And that's not considered spam when it happens in a row
Alright he’s got a point too
No more omg cat spam
B but

Ik
End of an era...
this is too far
This server can't handle it so it has to end
Pretty hilarious this whole thing is
This is the start of my villian arc 
RIP cat spam.
... my brain hurts
has the game been patched and is it in a working state yet?
Eh
Needs another few months
Let's ban all emotes, reactions, stickers and imgs
Change it to the
omg
kot
This is legal as it isn't the
Omg
Cat
Oh hell yeah, we've got a perfect segue!
Its not spam, and cant be with those dumbass 30 second cooldowns
Nah bruh don’t encourage
It can be done in off topic
Where it doesn’t matter
Well apparently it is now because posting 2+ was just considered spam a few minutes ago.
Nah
Thats just not the same

Come on guys, let this go ffs
Speaking of members need to stop saying cats suck

That is bannable
When was the last patch? and can I check patchnotes?
I'm not sure if I would consider it spam myself tbh, but I'm not a moderator so my opinion on this subject literally doesn't matter.
Too many rules
This whole situation is childish, but what can I do
No more rules being written today
Yes, check #📰┃announcement big patch was recently released
Bro youre the moderator of our hearts tho
Books closed
Last major patch was February 13th.
He’s a trial mod
so basically nothing is fixed and it's still unplayable xD oh well.
You cannot ignore members of staff Ong
It's more then playable lol
everytime I played for more than like 15 minutes there would be endless memory leaks making huge FPS drops so
Patch notes are on Steam, go to the game in your library and look in the Activity feed.
Over 1600 individual fixes iirc.
how dare u make this with my nickname...
Oh I didn't give you that nickname
don't have it on steam.
It is not unless it's a bother to ppl. Again, I said it earlier and I'll say it again. Posting something so consistent with the intent of disturbing someone is regarded as spam (aside from clear cases ofc of someone doing it in every channel possible)
Yes
Let the cat reaction rule go away 
return it to how it was pls, I hate cats
It's patched up
No I get that
Curious though, have their actually been many complaints about it? Outside of the conversation that was just had, I don't recall anyone ever expressing annoyance at it.
No, you love cats you're just in denial
what with paper towels?
First step is to admit it
Play and find out
I mean, go try yourself and be the judge
No one was bothered by it till druid wanted to mute that other guy for the stalker preg emote.
Then go onto Google and search "Stalker 2 1.2 patch notes".
About what exactly?
This whole situation made me confused and reinstalled gamma
Fuck
About the cat spam thing.
I think I’ve failed entirely then
No.
This whole situation makes me want to eat all of my vitamin gummies
Based
I know what I have to do
But I dont know if I have the strenght to do it
Ban all G*MMA players
Seriously do not do this, vitamin toxicity is a real thing.
Go ahead it's okay
Yes, let me take over then hahaha
No no
What's if you made omg kot into an emote to react to cat posts lol
this discord is entertaining ngl
The ink has dried
Bruh
The rules are set
Didn't Handsome Jack say that Kot could do their thing over in #💬┃en_offtop ? It's not even really banned, it's just been...sequestered.
Both parties have been appeased
That wont add to the counter tho
And I want to see the number grow 
So fuсking unfair...

HYPOCRISY!

Am I spamming?
Yes
Eating all of my flint stone gummies now
I only said it once
He found a loophole! Sound the alarm!
🚫 You can't ban immunized @worn oar.
You at least have the ability to spam...
I don't spam even if I can
I don't need to

Misery! Anomaly! GAMMA!
I have spoken of the dark triumvirate, may God have mercy on my soul.
Gamma is peak
Now I have legal reason to ban you and my blood lust will be fulfilled huhs
Except in this case, Bettlejuice is a slavic dude in full combat gear and a backpack full of vodka and sausage.
Larping with airsoft guns

Reason: calling forth true evil into chat
Lol
I can't believe it worked
Wow
Only 3 seconds for 3 words
Don't do that
Sorry
That's pretty harsh
That felt like longer than 3 seconds...
Wolf glitches, Tim gets muted forever, nobody notices
Don't play with the command.
Sorry won't abuse it again
/yoink @worn oar
"Hey, where's the autistic furry who rebuts people with multiple paragraphs?"
Tim's based I wouldn't actually do bad
I ain't trying to cause a PR nightmare for GSC lol
You know that yadda yadda I've got personal vendetta on someone other yadda yadda
Honestly we should make tim a helper
I agree tbh
Oh damn it.
@north violet reach out to mol1t tell him you want to be a helper
Me?
Can I remind you my proposition about this?
Uh oh
It was something like: HELL NO
Well, the first half is true
NOT THAT GUY
Wait, there's more than one of us?!
Chymo for mod
He’s not old enough yet
I should be a helper 
I second that, I don't want Discord to turn into a responsibility for me.
Chymo +1
@reef raptor Is one lol
It isn't
It's pretty chill for the most part
I ban a couple scammers a day at most
Argue with people in stalker general
I've been called historical slur

Yeah it's chill really
💀
Same
Im winning
Speaking of scammers, what happened down in #s2-lore-discussions ? Saw a bunch of people get warned for posting invites.
I hear that everyday
I saw someone tell Mol1t to die or something after he told them to be nice
By the voice in my head
Scammers wolf caught then we banned
joking
And then he was promptly banned
That...doesn't really narrow it down.
It's funny
huh whah
Cause I've banned that guy
Banning is based
It's especially funny when mol1t himself bans people lmao
Furry
Why would anyone insult our best man Mol1t
Damn, this really is just an extension of the Zone; Wolf holds them down and you folks walk up and shoot them in the head.
:333333
https://discord.com/channels/504587323577729024/1308823336633237575 was nothing but people getting Wolfed because of how inactive that channel is. Luckily those messages have been cleared up.
If we are talking about that one situation, I banned the guy before even Mol1t saw that message
Based as hell description haha
Based Mol1t
I've actually banned a freakishly high amount of anime nazi girl pfp users
I think like 4 or 5 lol
Our godfather
Mol1t goated
Thats cool and all but did you ever get a banned with reason being "toxic shit get the fuсk out of our server"? 
I've banned maybe 4 people and tempmuted like maybe 5 guys and yet I am the worst 
You're the worst?? That's insane
No one is allowed to hurt Mol1t.
If they do, we all collectively throw that person into an anomaly. Votes are taken to decide which anomaly we use.
I say we kill those people with a rock
It's an honor to be banned from gamma server ngl
Ye, should ban those people, there would be nobody to call me bad mod 
Permabanned twice 
Rock anomaly?
just a plain rock 🪨
💀
NDA rock
Woah woah woah
Mol1t's favorite
I eat rocks
Maybe we should not talk about killing anyone guys?

oh lmao I was NOT aware of this
True lol
Guess I'll use timeout for any helper abusing his power
Wouldn't mind to get that Tester role hehehehe
Ayo now let's not get crazy haha
On one hand, yes.
On the other hand, I think we're all aware that we're not being serious.
Either way, I shall stop.

Based Rahmi
Keeping the helpers in check fr
Want to try the feeling?

There's not enough Mol1t's to keep mods in check


@boreal mica Actually wait, can I list off one more method? It's explicitly S.T.A.L.K.E.R. related if that makes a difference.
I can now say... THE GAME IS IN A PLAYABLE BEAUTIFUL STATE ❤️
So many cats
So little power...
Kotus has clean hands I'd vouch for him anytime
Go for it, let us pretend we are talking about the big gummy bear
LETS FUCKEN GO
You know? I got warned once for posting offtop in meme channel and I was a helper at that time. It used to be possible backthen
Damn
I don't know how one goes from helper to mod, must be a process
So it's says something about the moderation if they are not allowed to warn/ban helpers now

Not really! I'll tell you why otherplace if you want to know
You must become based
Your not based enough yet
Behind the barn on that soft hay? 
Sweet.
I say we kill it with the Weird Ball artifact.
You know how it gets heavier the more damage it absorbs? What we need to do is get three stalkers to mag dump PKMs into it.
Then we take it and drop it on the gummy bear's head from a great height.
kuro told me something similar too, I still remember it

You became based
How you think you made it here

I'll become even more based one day
Your based enough to ascend
Just finally got around to watching saints video breakdown of stalker 2
Why STALKER 2 (and UE5) are a massive disappointment
Very sad and very true on every single point.

change my nickname back ffs(((
Then no, my gurl would be jealous 
Actually....that might be a bad idea. If the Weird Ball has no limit to the amount of energy it can absorb, what I suggested may turn it a literal bomb and create a crater if you drop it from high enough.
I hope to be based enough to become based red name mod one day
Ong

Anything becomes a literal bomb if you drop it from high enough 

Gravity is pretty strong
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 can become great at some point, but I do agree that switching to UE5 was a terrible choice.
bruh...
lmao
Actually that reminds me, is it possible to downgrade a game's engine?
this cat nicknames... missed again
Made me a little concerned for the studio’s approach to the game. Just make a nice empty set and call it a day?
😂
Lol
You really think that that was GSC's intention?
@celest blaze bruh..
Not intentional maybe but that’s what we have. It’s like a super watered down trip down memory lane.
That can be fixed though.
Like oh I remember this place where I had so many great memories of. But now it looks a touch better, runs like sludge and there is just three guys in overcoats doing a terrible run 90 degrees somewhere animation.
So much is missing though.
Additionally, we're probably going to end up with more than we think since GSC is on the record saying that they plan on supporting the game longer and more intensely that they had initially planned.
Restoration of cut content and implementation of ideas that couldn't make it to release was also explicitly said to be on the table.
And just about everything that is missing can be added back in by GSC.
Where the hell did everyone disappear to?
Yeah maybe you are more optimistic. I just see so much missing that it feels like playing a beta (albeit the world design is great). Seems a huge uphill battle, especially when you look back at previous releases and other similar titles.
I'm hopeful that we end up being in another No Man's Sky situation; the game releases in an unfinished, buggy state, but after some time it ends up fantastic and with way more content and other stuff added to it than was initially planned.
Even better if we get a bunch of awesome additions for free as well.
No Man's Sky is great now
It's getting pretty late in the Europe
I just can't ever be bothered with the expeditions
I know, that's what I'm saying.
That's true, forgot about time zones for a second.
@static compass can we rename @jade geyser to something Warp related?
Cuz hes prime evil wishing to destroy Imperium of Cat

buh
We somehow gotta combine warp and dogs 
War Hound of Khorne?
Yes
Reason: Bad word usage
Classic wolf
||Omg
Cat||
Sekrit 
Omg
by the law stated by the Red Council I have to banish you from this community forever


Other ideas:
B*tch of Slaanesh
Plague Dog of Nurgle
Jackal/Anubis of Tzeentch
Spicy Kot emperor

I couldn't think of anything better really.
I mean, we don't have creative names for plague rats.
oright bois
time to start stalker!!!
Based
it's tyranting time
@static compass You have any better ideas for a Nurgle-themed name?
is it better than starfeild?
Hound of Nurgle
Much better lol
I mean, I like starfield, but still lol
or same emptiness lol
I already used hound for Khorne though and I'm trying not to re-use it.
War Hound of Khorne
The AI system is a little bugged, but nah, not empty
Oh
Mongrel of Nurgle

starfield
Dogtarion
Ooooooh!
Plague Mongrel of Nurgle!
That's it!

How are we feeling about B*tch of Slaanesh and Jackal of Tzeentch?
Maybe not the first one cuz profanities
What's this name thing for again
Other one is fine
I know, I'm just trying to think of something...appropriate for Slaanesh.
Like, what would they call their dog if they had one?
Just say Binch of Slaanesh
@granite mortar Suggested we give @jade geyser a Warp-themed name.

i hate u more then cats
So far we have:
War Hound of Khorne
~~ B*tch of Slaanesh ~~ (Under revising to avoid profanities)
Plague Mongrel of Nurgle
Jackal of Tzeentch (Maybe Anubian of Tzeentch would be better?)
Why hate?
it's his thing

*flashbacks to Shed 17 intensify*
No place for hate here
Ew
Why "Ew"? It was just a Thomas the Tank Engine-themed horror animation on YouTube.
Yes, and it's unsettling lol
Fair enough.
And I guess "Ew" would be an appropriate reaction to the body horror stuff.
Why can he keep doing his thing but I cant doing mine 
I thought mc swag is joking this entire time tbh, never took him that seriously
do you really think that this is not a joke?
Positively hating in a polite way
do you really think that I can hate someone I never met irl?
notice, no one except you takes my words seriously
/s is for cowards

This is a chill place, let's all be chill
This is enough of stalker discord for me I suppose
wrong
im chill af
That gif will always make me laugh
chill enough to let Chymo do his thing?
idk who is chymo, im watching atalanta-bruges
One day 
the guy who goes 'omg cat' all the time
cat emperor
Im really dont care about his spaming, I just dont understand why 2 stickers in a row is a spam, but 10+ messages omg cat in row wasnt
wanna spam - go ahead, but let other ppl do their sh*t to
Chillpharius
you can say 'shit' in this server
you either 
shit 
was warned couple of times previously by wolf
its a right of passage
from what I can tell, no one minds ''Omg cat'' except you. meanwhile, 90% of what you say is ''patch when'', ''A-life when'', ''cats suck''. none of which is positive or contributes to this community in any positive sense

patch when btw (my lawyer has advised me to apologise)
well, 2 stickers in a row was considered spam, so I also wondered why the 'omg cat' wasn't the same thing.
Soon™️
did I spam it or what? check how many messages I write per day
cat sucks is just a joke confrontation with your cat sect, does it offend people?
Seems like it, otherwise the topic wouldn't be talked about rn 
Come on, cut this crap
I'm not saying what you're doing is spam, I'm saying that the messages you do send are contributing to a negative atmosphere in this server.
No more of this topic, move on ffs
how
moving on
Put one foot in front of the other
I just realized the veteran doesn’t let you put a laser sight on it and it makes me sad
You are cool buddy! We all love you
Omg

Poor bnuy

Ayo, returned with an extra u
my generosity knows no bounds
why there is only text channels?
Wait fr
Experienced is Level 10, which should be pretty easy to get 
Bro, you've been here for ages. You should know this 
No one ever said
I just thought they were there for everyone
Can't wait to get the cool color role
It's been mentioned before kek
I’m owned
I miss my green faction role
Huh, figured you were Handsome Jack
Sterlok's In Game model...
I wish I could use my monolith role color 
hot damn
Oy mate, u got a loicence for that dad-joke?
I miss the days our faction roles were above our experience roles
For a sec I read Strelok in GAMMA 
me after a sleepless night
Yes, he's red, so yes
that checks out
Ye bruv, oi've got it roight 'ere mate
He saw some shit
SIKE

Need a bloody loicence for everyfin these days 
literally
Don't worry tho, oi've got a deal for ya. Oi fix ya neck an' then you give me a pass. Deal?
I read this in Alfie's voice from Peaky Blinders
Bloody hell innit?
that has to be satire...

It's the UK, of course it isn't 
My high school banned the comical jumbo pencil because it was deemed as a 'weapon'. Wonder if it is still banned now.
Which cool color?
Oh wait, those big ass pencils?
big as arm
It's a bloody pencil, not a knoyf. What in the bloody world is this inadequate incompetent action?
I mean...
Good thing UK isnt real
The is no Queen of England
yeah, one of those. Everyone got them for redeeming tickets for some event, but then something happened.



There is no easter bunny
you can send pictures because you have magic powers?
Yes
@granite mortar
u know I think the receding hairline really complement his look in a nice way
Man I wanna redownload it and try the new update but idk is it worth it?
Id say it is. I put the game down for a while after it first released but got back into with the new update and im having a blast
any idea when we are getting mod support for console?
going off the og trilogy, it would be visual changes at best, maybe a bit better if mod support isn't added to a possible PS5 version
didnt they say it could be for overhauls aswell? or atleast larger mods, im hoping for stuff like longer sprint time, lower health enemies, maybe even a gore overhaul?
I'm hoping xbox modding at least allows rebalancing, I'd rather die fast and kill fast, then have bullet sponge enemies, and have myself take a lot of damage (diamond exo + compass makes you very tanky)
yea i found that enemies felt a little too tanky, i was hoping for a more realistic fps but its alright for now
i just want a rough expected release time so i have something to look forward to
They're supposed to release the roadmap this year
If I had to guess, I'd say maybe summer?
For the roadmap
hopefully, i wanna see what they have planned
i think their still focused on patching bugs rn but the newest patch fixed alot
True, but they still have some work to do
im just happy they fixed the one where korshunov turns into a phantom
he literally just wasnt there where he was supposed to be
Haven't had that one
is the patch a game changer or just decent?
its where you first meet korshunov in that little outpost
phantom korshunov, the worst of my nightmares
real
Just more bug fixes
Quality of life stuff
A-Life tweaks
i shall steal this cat
Bumped my gamma up to 60 cuz wow the game is ridiculously dark indoors
Was looking for the guide in slagheap and the dude was leaning against the wall but was completely invisible because of how dark it was
i need a mod to lower my settings on the fly when i enter npc heavy areas cause having to switch myself all the time is crazy

I want a mod where you play someone else playing stalker 2 in their basement.
I honestly don't see the meaning behind a roadmap. Roadmaps are mwant to provide timeframes for things. We can see how reliable those timeframes will be when the roadmap which was meant to be released last december is still not out lol
And I'm just sharing ny opinion

Do we really need a roadmap? We know fixes are coming, dlcs in the future and multiplayer one day I'd rather them just get shit done look at what happened when they announced and delayed
Certainly a roadmap they release before they're confident in it is definitely useless
Anyone else unable to attach the Collimator Sight to the Buket S-2?
Clearly states "Buket S-2"; Will not allow me to attach it.
is there a preferred place to report bugs we find in game?
May need to upgrade Buket and add sight rail
Don't hold me to it as never used the Buket but have a look @ tech
This must be it; I'll check
Confirmed, you must upgrade it to support a rail attachment. Thank you
Np
Did they hide steamdb updates?
Patch 1.3 when?
@granite mortar
Omg
Cat

Omg
Cat
Did they hide steamdb updates?
We need SDK bratans
Where is the spoilers chat? I searched “spoilers” in the server listing and only this showed up
i love that radiation actually matters now
before this patch radiation essentially could be nearly totally ignored
which was lowkey dumb
What does it do
I haven’t noticed a difference
Usually having a roadmap is good for a community, helps people manage their expectations and be excited for when big stuff drops. Just maybe not in the case of S2
You're the Larry
I would argue, Roadmap is usually a confirmation of what will be offered and showcased to players. Which also means GSC must do what they offered in the roadmap. If they didn't realise one yet means they are not ready for it. They probably want to avoid what Bethesda did with 76 roadmap when they lied about it.
Roadmaps very rarely get honored. It's made to sucker in dummies.
Yea
Guys 1.2 dropped. are hardcoded keybinds fixed? i only read about flashlight and leaning. but nothing about keybinds in general in notes. but maybe im just blind

Gonna play it next February, by then the mod kit will be soon ™
Hey it's the elongated muskrat
Mol1t will crush you
Uhoh

I hope he crushes me with a fat change log full of performance fixes so that we can finally enjoy this game more.
Skill issue, my game runs fine lol

You and the whole 10 other people must be happy huh
nah, Mol1t's chill
The world has been in sharp decline ever since the last SOAD album. Coincidence? I think not.
Is the Zalissya infinite money glitch fixed or no 
You misspelled a-life fixes 
Patch notes software rt removed fps tripled
No mate, prio should be performance and stability.
Easy & efficient fix
Software rt in stalker 2 is just terrible across the board
It sure looks photo real, sometimes
Your joking lmfao
It's photo real because it's one frame
Haha yes, photo album real
Yea, it looks photo realistic when standing still
Nah seriously some locations look very good even in motion. SIRCAA though…
I've seen rastas that look better than stalker 2
S2 is raster, lumen is all screen space effects with some more trickery
In general, I like how s2 looks but not at what cost
(Also imo some of the clothing doesn't really fit stalker)
It’s “screen tracing” which is a fancy name for screen space effects
@GSC please upload the test version of the patch where a-life offline still "worked" to Steam
I wish you all a good day be well
Generally it looks about on par with something like metro exodus
Call of pripyat?
Is it normal for distant trees that are fading in/out, aka a bit transparent, to have this weird grid like pattern to it? I posted a screenshot that is cropped to mostly show what I'm talking about... but discord pics are clearly not that great and a bit hard to see it
Just try to play COP now, or even Anomaly+gamma. The graphics difference is massive.
Idk I mean, the triple A graphical fidelity stopped being impressive to me like 15 years ago, they all look good

Meh I’ve seen modern games with that wow factor stalker 2 just isn’t one of them
Like Indiana jones and the great circle
Art style does that for me rather than fidelity
I do like me a big fat circle
Seen how Expedition 33 looks like? I think that is one of the rare cases of where it can be kinda justified. It's not just to look realistic, but also has own style rather than trying to look ultra realistic.
Never heard of it until now
it hasn't come out yet
I'm waiting to see how that new vampire game turns out, something something daywalker
We could use a good dark vampire game seeing as vtmb2 will probably suck ass
Or vampire the masquerade bloodlines 2
Yeah i'm saying it will probably suck ass
The foken chinese room man, it was bouncing between studios for years before landing at them
So far Dawnwalker seems like it's going to deliver. At least it's trying to do the whole vampire thing slightly differently. Older vampires in the trailer look more monstrous and younger more human like, so I guess they age. Also grow a new fang each year, yay more teeth.
Apparently to turn somebody into a vampire have to pierce a heart with one of those fangs
Tencent
WEST TAIWAN MUST BE FREED
AGHHHHH
Free Hong Kong or smth
I like darker/more mature depictions of vampires like this. like white wolf universe, warhammer, dnd, even castlevania for example. Where they are given proper lore and hierarchy and stuff
Good vibes only
They actually lost that? How tf did Nexon even have a case...
Turns out they did in fact completely steal the games entire concept from Nexon
Turns out you can't do that if you're not Disney 
Well okay so easy, they make a new company, transfer the IP rights, declare bankruptcy on the og company, done
(they've stolen so many concepts and ideas quite blatantly)
Maybe…..
Nexon would likely claim all the companies assets as collateral
If they failed to pay
Still no ray tracing sigh
Lumen isn’t ray tracing
Wasn’t made by nvidia so it’s not official
Gay tracing
imo, don't care that light and stuff looks realistic, only want it to look good. Can we just yeet raytracing? xD
Nvidia made ray tracing so how are you gonna call something that’s not even the right brand ray tracing
The game is likely bust
Nvidia didn’t make ray tracing
Lmao tf I just read

They didn’t even invent real time ray tracing
Power vr did
In 2013
Was a multi 1000 dollar add on card for professionals but never the less
It was the first device capable of real time ray tracing
Guess only thing they can be credited for is bringing it to games?
Amd trash either way

The 6xt came out in 2013
Bad bait
Meant gpus not CPUs
You don’t know what gpu I have, you’re just assuming
I still like amd I have a 9800x3d
It's a crazy shift in direction to just go "amd trash either way" when your whole argument was debunked
I’ve been awake for all of 20 minutes but even still
Your not catching me out like that

Read the next msg I sent
One time too many
I hope amd can make a card better then the 5090 so the next gen coming out in a couple weeks
All this AI crap would be fine it it just worked.
Then again neither are humans
Or human made products
AI has a good chance to supercede in a couple decades
Maybe more than a couple
Naw the dlss and frame generation aren’t worth it just turn your graphics down if you can’t run it since any benefit would instantly be negated by the terrible artifacts and ghosting
Prolly some hotfix
it feels a bit silly that a casual ssmall update takes that much, when used to be able to fit a whole "modern" game in it at some point. Of course, can still find plenty of good games that fit in 10 gigs or less but, you know.
Where basebuilding update
Just how unreal engine works unfortunately
Where is the Shield of Duty exo
after space exploration update, it will have the noosphere spacecraft on a launch pad above sircaa and will fit atleast 10 snorks in it, it is dalyn's mission to populate the outer planets with snorks and create anomaly farms with materials from those planets. lore accurate. source? trust me bro

Sounds lit ngl 🔥🔥🔥
i love it when gsc said "it's starfielding time" during development, absolute kino
You can only buy it from Duty trader, but it's random.
Also my advice is to avoid duty mid-late game armors that aren't their Seva, since they have underwhelming stats, no psi protect, and their exos(both exosuit and exoskeleton) doesn't have sprinting upgrade.
The freedom Bulwark can't sprint too but at least it's stats are way better, not that I would recommend it over an diamond or anything that allow you to sprint.
Yea this is why it's such a BS, I've waited so long for a Duty exo suit officialy only to be focking dissapointed when I learned I can't sprint in it
There is a mod that allow all exos to sprint without sprint upgrade, try that if you want to use them.
I might do just that.
What are they doing?
Sorry if this question is common but when is console getting mods? I'm getting really tired of the weight system
Never
Maybe by end of year lol
Maybe
Giant maybe
I need a mod that turns everyone into female
😭
PlayStation left out of mentions because it has no games.
PlayStation has figuratively no games
Xbox has actually no game

ong
PlayStation has like 10 or 15 exclusive games
What about switch?
based as hell
i want a switch
Switch got hella games
I lost a chunk of my car on the way to work
Stupid plastic clips broke
Except no specs:' D
Mf

Still have to say something controversial. 3ds > switch
Yes and no
this will be controversial but morrowind is the best bethesda game
I don’t think that’s really that controversial
thats why you're based
It's actually redguard

i cant wait for the redguard fan unity remake to be finished tbh daggerfall unity is peak
theres also a openarena being made rn

Greatest achievement of man kind
I can't wait until Handheld gaming PCs become strong enough to emulate switches
They already are
Sorta
Steam Duck all the way 🔥
DUCK
What are they doing? 0 news since Friday
We do nut know
why gsc game support keeps spamming me emails
I think it's ai, because I've send email asking to stop messaging me and they apologized and promised to stop sending me email. But I continue to have emails lol
ok I took the mail on zerogpt and its 94.9% chat gpt
Working
They're all playing KCD2 duh
It's still raining in my old save that I like loll
Mama juevo
man this game has so many issues
just tried to play some for the first time since the patch and now my contoller is all messed up firing the wrong buttons etc.
bah it's just a plain terrible launch — off to play KCD 2 (aka the only thing stopping pure rage building from this subpar game)
i'm only saying what I'm experiencing — patter
i've got some faith — it's just a game that i didn't want to see in this state. Not many franchises I care about.
Likely money would have run out long before then
sullied it for the fans who paid up front though
Agreed
Fr lol
also — last complaint for the day. Flashlight shadows.... they aint here? 😂
Bought the deluxe edition to only have it uninstalled since Nov 24th
I mean if I REALLLY LOOK I can see a glimmer of darkness, almost looks more like Ambient Occulsion, a bit faded etc. I don't see anything that would look like a flashlight shadow?
Dammit, I brought in some energy drunks, sausage and vodka for the launch. You telling me I have to do that again for the DLC/Fixes?!
Naw you get the pass
I've just been playing teamlite and morrowind while I wait for stalker 2 to be fully fixed
My launch dinner
very nice
The next Battlebit update will likely drop before then
If it ever drops
Is the ward badge useful after the SIRCAA events? For context || I didn’t side with them ||
||yes||
Yeah when I saw flashlight shadows I thought it would be actually full shadows projected dynamically behind what the flashlight was aiming it.. its just black outlines around characters and objects that is very static
Really odd look and not at all dynamic or on par with the originals even! Hopefully another band aid but I seem to be hoping that for more and more things.
Flashlight shadows in their current implement kill fps on lower end rigs, fully dynamic with lumen will kill even mid end ones and bring high end ones to their knees. Personally I just want the flashlights range to be increased drastically, and not cause eye adaptation to black out what lies out of the flashlights reach.
the flashlight is broken at best in it's current form. Not really fit for purpose!
Again looking at you unreal5
Rasterized lighting mod plus 50 fps

Yes a mod, question is what about the box....the xbox
kcd2
X who?
Who is x and why is he box


i played stalker 2
Congratulations
I am very confident that I would enjoy the earlier installments a lot more. Stalker 2 looks good, but it's dogshit on cloud. I feel like it's a little bit soulless.
Doctor X
Creator of the Call of the Zone freeplay modification
Game is under cooked to be fair
So that’s not really your fault
Trilogy has its issues but there's a reason it had a huge cult following
Stalker 2 is just plain and simple under cooked
It needed another 6 to 8 months at least
Yeah, that's what I was afraid to say. Is the original trilogy open-world?
Well yes but actually no
You are pretty much free to explore whatever you want, but the world is split into smaller areas
Its peak tho
Honestly, the kind of game I'm looking for has realism, unexpected moments, a living world, and charming animations/physics. Kind of like building your own story
That's perfectly fine. I'm excited to buy the LoTZ trilogy. I'm sure I could use mods to implement more realism 🔥
Debatable but if your having fun then it’s a win for you haha
You also don't necessarily build your own story like
There's choices
But ultimately you're not character building
Your just a dude
With a goal and he may or may not make the world a better place in the process
You're* 
I’m owned

Have they changed steamdb access so that we can’t see their updates?
Does anyone know of any plans to implement Night Vision systems? PVS14s, 15s, 31s or GPNVG18s?
