Apparently there still is a chance for a patch this week

[paper brook]

No chance

[north violet]

Well, I guess we can assume it's not releasing today.

[night crest]

it is, trust

[north violet]

In his response, Mol1t said they wanted to try and get it out this week still, but...it's Friday, the week is over.

Unless they want to push it out on the weekend? Man, I hope these people aren't crunching themselves to death again.

Today at 14:58

Mol1t: "Unfortunately won't be ready for today, but we are still trying to make this week release possible."

[drowsy blade]

A weekend patch? That’d be new

Which either means tomorrow or Sunday

[gritty orchid]

doubt its sunday tbh

[north violet]

I guess Read-Only Fridays aren't a thing at GSC, or at least not all the time.

[dire dagger]

Well what ever the Case

[celest portal]

[dire dagger]

You can complain about the game till you go blue in the face

Just don’t use slurs to do so please

[latent kite]

only use slurs against jack

[alpine pulsar]

Not a slur.

[north violet]

Hell, we complain about the game too, but GSC is well aware of pretty much every issue that's been brought up and at this point it's just beating a dead horse.

[dire dagger]

Sadly it’s not 2016 anymore

Other wise I’d agree

[celest portal]

Hey the corps emojis are finally in this server

[dire dagger]

In a perfect world there would be no slurs

[alpine pulsar]

Then you’re apart of the problem

[north violet]

Language changes with time, as does what's acceptable.

[dire dagger]

I don’t make the rules

That’s what the nazis said. Bet you’re vaccinated.

I think I'll spend some time perusing weird animations on YouTube because of this.

[worn oar]

What happened haha

[north violet]

Some guy showed up complaining about the game while casually throwing around slurs and then he left. The topic of conversation meandered a bit since then.

[worn oar]

The guy with the toilet pic?

Funny

[north violet]

Wait, what toilet pic?

[worn oar]

Bathroom

It's clearly on a toilet side

Well, the moment I left for a walk that happened

[north violet]

Lol, holy shit I just looked back at his avatar. I did not notice that until you said something.

He alleges that it's a friend of his in that photo but I don't believe it.

[celest blaze]

You'd be surprised fr

[north violet]

Maybe not that surprised, I've slurred my typing when I'm really tired.

[celest blaze]

Ngl I slur my typing alot cuz half the time I'm not looking at what I'm typing haha

[north violet]

I mean, I don't look at the keyboard when I'm typing either, but I had to take typing classes in grade school.

Home row and all of that stuff.

It means I'm really good at Typing of the Dead.

[dire dagger]

Post slurs you say

Well I can do that for you

Take your pick

[north violet]

Wrong type of slur Lord Jack.

[north violet]

Correct, I've never been drunk, and the only time I was ever high was when I was being put under for surgery. I don't know what they gave me but it made me hallucinate that ethereal toy cars/trucks were floating out of the wall socket in front of me before I passed out.

[celest blaze]

Based tbh

I'm slowly getting good at typing tbh moved to pc 2 years ago

Was a console bro all my life

[dire dagger]

fucken hell bro

[north violet]

The software they used to each us typing was pretty fun too; I liked the visuals and it gamified it in a way that was very enjoyable.

[dire dagger]

just came to chat and said in plain text yah guess

i use to have the worlds biggest pussy on the planet

[worn oar]

I was drunk a couple of times while here, and nobody even noticed hehe cuz I never get really drunk no matter how much I drink

Yeah, we've got 10 VC channels in the server.

[celest blaze]

I wanna sell my intel and nvidia pc to go all amd but now may not be the right time due to geopolitical issues between Canada and the us

[north violet]

Presumably the same as the PC version, update still hasn't dropped.

[worn oar]

1.2. Something

I think

[safe badge]

It got announced like more than 4 weeks ago

[worn oar]

Maybe a new patch next week to make it 1.3

[north violet]

I plan on going AMD for my next CPU but I'll probably stick with NVIDA for GPU. I've heard mixed things regarding AMD's GPU drivers even today and I'm not sure what's true and what isn't.

[safe badge]

I still have 1.17

[celest blaze]

That's 100% fair tbh

they use to back in the day though

i got such a board actually

[celest blaze]

Quad cpus with sli 3090tis...

[dire dagger]

QUAD SOCKET OPTERON

[north violet]

Oh I knew they used to make quad-socket boards, I just never knew about that OS version and what hardware it supported.

[dire dagger]

funny thing about opterons is

if you can track down the engineering sample cpus

they are fully unlocked for overclocking

even in quad socket configs

[indigo marsh]

Yeah. But only blue roles and higher can see it. Rookies roles don't get to see it.

[dire dagger]

https://tenor.com/view/chudlogic-chud-logic-evil-gang-evil-gif-11587451429599961940

[north violet]

Well the OS is meant for proper workstations used for things like 3D modeling/animation, massive data calculation and stuff like that. That's why it supports such high-end hardware specs.

Like, think the computers that would be used for creating the CGI in a Marvel movie or Jurassic Park or something.

[indigo marsh]

Gatekeep
Gaslight
Girlboss!

[north violet]

Like the machines that run that OS are probably in the five figure range when it comes to cost.

Honestly I like reading about ultra-powerful super high-spec machines like that, I think it's really cool.

Wow, apparently Quantum3D is still around.

[dire dagger]

they make mil sim machines

[celest blaze]

Like iron beasts milsim?

[dire dagger]

no real mil sims

for the military

[celest blaze]

I wish I could try them

Oh yep, found mention of it:

"Quantum3D was instrumental in bringing advanced graphics products to the PC-game enthusiast market (first SLI graphics boards) and for bringing PC-based, open architecture systems to bot hthe coin-op/arcade/LBE market (Graphite ArcadePC) and to the visual and sensor simulation and training (VSST) market (AAlchemy PC-IG) for both military and commercial applications."

[north violet]

They did in the original trilogy...

Well, sort of.

They would drag away the dead bodies of stalkers or other mutants they had killed and eat them.

[hardy bear]

Out of curiosity, how many hours did you have in game before starting the ||clear sky base thing after meeting nimble?||

Just got as far as that with 42 hours, was curious as to other people’s pacing

[stiff pasture]

60 lmao

[celest goblet]

30-40

[hardy bear]

Aight so I’m not too far off others then

Thought I was taking it slow relative to others but I guess not

[celest portal]

At nearly 100 hours is when I left the lesser zone

[celest portal]

Doesn't really matter how fast or slow you take, as long as you're enjoying the game.

[hardy bear]

Yeah I’m not trying to find the best way to play, the way I’m playing now is perfect, was just curious as to how others did

Because I’m having an absolute blast with the game still, but have heard others including friends saying they lost interest after a bit. Wondered if maybe my slow pacing is what is making it more enjoyable for me

[celest goblet]

I took it pretty slow until getting to wild island, then I started following the story a little more directly

[celest portal]

I started to pick up the pace after sircaa, worried that if I drag it out too long, I will get burnt out before finishing. Which has happened with other open world games.

[hardy bear]

Fair enough

No idea how much of the game is left but so far every discovery has been fun even if there’s nothing physical to reward it

[celest goblet]

I definitely enjoyed the journey, just seeing what was at different locations

[hazy jewel]

Hardware raytracing ?

And OG

[celest portal]

I was just scavenging the area, and then doing my own thing unrelated to any missions. A couple of hours was also just chilling with a friend while I streamed the game, playing the guitar and stuff.

Then there was times where I would sit by the radio trying to guess what song was playing. Turns out S2 added a lot of songs I listened to regularly.

[wraith socket]

The only thing annoying about the Cordon is getting too close to the Perimeter wall and having the magic sniper take you out.

Anything south of the Military Outpost, that is south of the Rookie Village.

Hardware issue

[thick zodiac]

true true, my eyes are exploding from Pripyat, I put everything at medium and low still STUTTERS MF

[orchid gale]

What gpu?

[thick zodiac]

2070S (recommended by GSC)

[night crest]

sorry shouldve bought a 4090

[orchid gale]

Recommended specs are a lie upgrade that hoe

4090 or nothing

[granite mortar]

GSC can shove these recommendations up their... uhh..
"1060 minimum guys frfr trust"

it really looks lke they havent even played their game on any of the hardware they mention

[night crest]

wait did they SERIOUSLY mention the 1060

[granite mortar]

yes

[night crest]

stalker 2 on all low at 10fps 💀

[thick zodiac]

but everywhere else but Pripyat it worked fine even on high, but doesn''t matter what settings I do the average fps goes higher a bit but 1% are very low and stutterign!!!!!

[granite mortar]

they said it minimum
dont think minimal details, 720p, 15FPS and performance mods are the target for "minimal requirements"

[night crest]

yeah, i just looked at some benchmarks, the game is playable with the 1060, but on 720p, FSR, FG, and on 30-60fps when nothing is happening

without upscaling it struggles to reach 15 fps

[sharp minnow]

I think no patch today=)

[granite mortar]

framegen shouldnt be taken into account when recommending hardware
upscaling as well, if upscaled 1080p looks like garbage then upscaled 720p must look like Wolfenstein 3D

[sharp minnow]

only hotfix with🐿️ 1.2.2

[night crest]

yes

"minimum", especially in 2025, should be 1080p at 60fps native, and fsr/dlss, fg, lower res should be all the things you COULD do if you still really want to play but dont have the hardware

cus if not at that point you can call it "minimum" and decrease the res to 480p 💀

[granite mortar]

monitor resolutions increase yet "minimal" resolutions for games decrease
truly puts the 4K monitors to good use lmao

[night crest]

high res gaming is more inaccessible than ever 💀

[thick zodiac]

nah, Pripyat is crooked they need to do smth about it. I put absolutely everything to the minimum and FPS is all over the place 80 to 20 jumping the same with 1% just drops as low as 10 FPS

[night crest]

i mean, not just a pripyat issue, just a game issue in general

[zealous pumice]

in 4 years, this game is gonna be sick

[lofty helm]

[orchid gale]

10 fps in the world

2 fps in any town

[sharp minnow]

rtx3070+5700x3d and 32gb ram 3800mhz in ultra setings /world-60+fps/town 40-50 fps/ its 1440p

[stable holly]

does s2 have fsr 4 now or only fsr3.1

[granite mortar]

should have FSR4

[stable holly]

i played a day or two ago and only had 3.1 tho? all my amd drivers are up to date as well

[orchid gale]

Drop the resolution Fr

[orchid gale]

Fsr 4 is only for 9070 and 9070xt

[stable holly]

oh

[orchid gale]

I know 😔 they pulled an nvidia

[thick zodiac]

"For obvious reasons, FSR 4 only works on AMD's Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT graphics cards FOR NOW." - Tom's Hardware

with the fact that almost no games support FSR4 it doesn't matter anyway

[stable holly]

yeah, the good thing about fsr is its not hardware based

unlike dlss...

[sharp minnow]

why?=) i have 1440p monitor 27 samsung odyssey g6 240hz

[thick zodiac]

yeah, but I dunno both DLSS and FSR and Lumen and GSC make my eyes literally hurt from all the noise and stuttering, I will take a break from this game. NOW I know what disclaimer is about in the very beginning. If your eyes hurt from all this turn off PC go to a doctor

[vale quartz]

fsr4 is hardware based

that's why it's only for 9070

[orchid gale]

You ain’t hitting anywhere near 240 fps

[sharp minnow]

i know and?=)

[orchid gale]

Honestly, I can’t play at anything less than 120 fps personally.

It hurts my eyes to look at

It’s so choppy it takes me back to Xbox one borderlands 2 days

[sharp minnow]

I don't see any problem with perception if the game has 60+ fps on a 240hz monitor

100+ fps need only for cybersports games

[orchid gale]

You are only seeing the game in 60hz

FPS=HZ

[fair jackal]

i felt happy enough with near 60 fps when i played lol. my performance wasn't good so i locked my fps and lowered the dlss setting or something

[sharp minnow]

I understand that, but I see a difference in other PC usage scenarios

And I see the difference in 30-60-120-240hz

[orchid gale]

I guess it depends, I got used to super high frame rate so now when I look at anything with less 120 it feels like I’m watching a stop motion picture animation

[orchid gale]

No im just saying that in general the fps is too low for me

Not that it displays weird on a 240hz monitor

[reef raptor]

same
anything under 80 fps feels sluggish and I am on a 165hz monitor
I need 90+ fps in any game for it to feel nice

[orchid gale]

100% I can immediately tell if I’m running at less then 160fps just based on how it looks

120 is currently my min before I deem something unplayable

[sharp minnow]

Whatever it was, there is no problem playing a game at 60fps, especially if it is a story-based game where the pace is not fast, another thing is some kind of cs go or multiplayer black ops 6, don't care

[reef raptor]

yeah, tough
honestly I wish I never got a taste of high refresh rates haha since I now need to make sure any game gets minimum 90 fps for it to be good
so 30 fps more than the usual "60 fps minimum is perfect" which also basically means that to my eyes my rig's performance will decrease faster as time goes on if you get what I mean

[orchid gale]

Take me back to my 1650 days 😭😭 I’m spoiled now

[nimble cipher]

rainthunderspark has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[reef raptor]

brooo I had a 1650 laptop before I switched to a 3060 165hz laptop lmaooo
it was so nice back then and my experience with the 3060 laptop was hell (since I needed 90 fps minimum every modern game refused to run well) but I upgraded to a 4080S rig a few months ago and it has been very pleasant ever since :D

[fair jackal]

i grew up with playstations and seeing someone say their game is unplayable if they can't get 120 fps is fricking wild.

[orchid gale]

Trust me, I grew up on the GameCube, I hate it just as much as you do

[fair jackal]

i don't think you got the point

saying a game is unplayable because you don't get 120 fps at min, is just such a spoiled brat thing to say lmao.

[orchid gale]

My pc progression went

1650-7900gre-7900xt

That first jump where I didn’t have to play games on min anymore was like a breath of fresh air

Then it ruined me like my first relationship

[orchid gale]

I literally just agreed with you?

[fair jackal]

did you? like weren't you the one that said that?

[dim topaz]

completely depends on the game for me
120+ should be the standard in current day but triple A devs have never cut more corners when it comes to optimization and ports than now
60 is still very much playable tho

[somber juniper]

i wouldnt call 35 games at launch "no support"

[fair jackal]

"120 is currently my min before I deem something unplayable"

[orchid gale]

Yes I’m the one that said that what? I agreed with you that it’s wild

[fair jackal]

oki then

[orchid gale]

I don’t know why you got so pressed that I agreed with you lmao

[fair jackal]

maybe i like, read something else

[somber juniper]

and if that isnt enough you can just use optiscaler and then you get FSR 4 in almost every single game with DLSS 2.0+ and FSR 2.0+

[reef raptor]

I see.. joined team red
I thought about it beforehand but I like nvidia although they are greedy as hell (DLSS is so good and superior to FSR ESPECIALLY DLSS 4) but amd does have more fps per dollar for those who like that over better upscalers and stuff

[fair jackal]

my bad love, i guess i didn't pick up on it that way

What I was trying to say was I grew up on GameCube and I hate how I’m now saying anything below 120 fps is unplayable

i'm trying to find the words to explain what i had read it as but my brain ain't braining lol, am sori

[reef raptor]

btw I feel like we should go to #💬┃en_offtop or to pc specs since ehh.. this isnt very stalkery haha

[orchid gale]

Yeah that’s why I went with it 🙂 I love the fps per dollar and the fact that it’s consistently cheaper then nvidia for better performance

Plus the radeon adrenaline software is the best thing to ever grace this planet.

Plus it doesn’t use AI upscaling

The new FSR system is a massive improvement. It's really good. But it only works on the new card generation. Hopefully they'll add it to the 6000 and 7000 series in a few months.

[orchid gale]

Boy kisser cafe is wild

[nimble cipher]

der_adler_02 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[reef raptor]

oh yea I heard about that
im glad nvidia added DLSS 4 for every RTX card which is neat

[crystal merlin]

I wonder if there's any lore reason why the X7 suit look like the duty Universal Protection suit.
And within game codes it's called Dolg (duty) armor

[hot canopy]

Just gotta get DLSS 4 on stalker lol

[fair jackal]

man setting up a blacklist to combat these bots is so clever.

[reef raptor]

I ONLY joined for the emojis

[somber juniper]

yeah, its a bit better than the latest DLSS CNN
it would be nice to get FSR 4 lite for RX 7000 ( AKA RDNA 3 )
and maybe FSR 3.2 for RDNA 2 ( so RX 6000 )

[bright lantern]

I was surprised about that. They love locking things behind a new purchase. AMD have locked things before but usually add it to as many backward generations as they can a few months later. I guess they want to push people to buy the new generation for the first 3-6 months.

[reef raptor]

probably, yeah.

[bright lantern]

My 6800 nitro is still serving me very well at 1440, but I'll never say no to a performance improvement.
I play stalker at native res and frame gen on. Most settings at high or epic. I get a really solid framerate everywhere except Rostock. But there is definitely some artifacting at times.

[somber juniper]

it is quite important to note that the 9070 XT has IIRC 378 TOPs in INT 8 (which is used for FSR 4) while the 7900 XTX has around 130 IIRC

[orchid gale]

Mhm ok ok sure, I belive you

[somber juniper]

and the 5070 TIE has 330~ INT8 TOP's IIRC

[bright lantern]

Yeah I'm assuming there are engineering reasons why they aren't bringing FSR4 to earlier cards. But who knows? Maybe as they update it, they can find efficiencies and bring a scaled down version to earlier cards. Like you said, FSR 3.2 or something.

[reef raptor]

[orchid gale]

Nuuuuu no upset

[somber juniper]

yeah, maybe RDNA 3 could run it if they just removed the Transformer part of FSR 4

[orchid gale]

Ok bedtime goodnight fellas, folks, and family

[reef raptor]

good night man 🫡 sleep well

[vale quartz]

the reason is AI cores, they are working to bring fsr4 to 7900xt and maybe 7800xt. Everything below is hard to say

[somber juniper]

i dont think they mentioned those specific SKU's

[bright lantern]

Yeah, who knows. By July things might be very different. Especially if the new card gen actually gets people to leave the NVIDIA cult. A bump in market share and NVIDIA finally being forced to provide something that looks like value for money would shake things up a lot.

[vale quartz]

those cards have ai accelerators that are not being used

[somber juniper]

FSR 4 IQ for anyone that is interested and hasnt seen these videos yet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzomNQaPFSk&t
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H38a0vjQbJg&t

[somber juniper]

yeah, every RDNA 3 card has them
but no RDNA 3 card has fp8 accellaration which accelarates INT 8

thus their INT 8 performance is very low which is what FSR 4 uses for compute

[bright lantern]

Welp. Gonna go get slapped by the flashbang field in Yaniv. Enjoy your evening, Stalkers.

[somber juniper]

it appears i was VERY wrong
the 9070 XT actually has 779 TOP's in INT 8

the 3090 has 640
and the 4090 has 1300

[zinc apex]

Update?

[somber juniper]

while the PS5 pro has 300

[somber juniper]

yap master 9000

[somber juniper]

if we assume that ML perf scales linierly with core count then the 4080 has 780 INT 8 TOPs

and the 5070 TI has 702

[tiny token]

meow

[lofty helm]

[reef raptor]

[somber juniper]

and the XTX has 246 INT 8 TOP's ( W sparsity)

[somber juniper]

so
that is probably why AMD didnt port FSR 4 to RDNA 3

[zinc apex]

[slow sand]

As much as I want it today, Iets be realistic. They have commitment issues. XD

[gritty orchid]

releasing a patch on saturday is kind of chaos, unless the patch is already ready to go and they are only waiting for M$ to "review" the patch on Xbox or w/e So they can press the "release" button. (This is prolly why the patch is taking this long)

[zinc apex]

They again blueballed us 😢

@gsc let me press the release button. I don't care about Microsoft at all

[lofty helm]

[zinc apex]

[zealous pumice]

where update oo oo aa aa

[bright lantern]

I just found two very cool easter eggs.
They're not spoilers but I'll put them in spoiler tags anyway. They're in areas you go to in the second half of the game.

There's a bunker code that is the date of ||an underground soviet nuclear test||
There's also a body you can find in Yaniv of a guy who ||falls out of the sky||. His name is ||Pvt Gagarin||.
||Yuri Gagarin was the first man in space. ||

[zinc apex]

cool findings

[bright lantern]

The first one felt like a date and not just some random numbers, so I looked it up. I didn't even notice the dead guy's name until I walked past him a second time and his body got thrown by an explosion. There feels like a lot of these little references.

[granite mortar]

dannnggg
GSC copied Road to the North
they just switched up Skadovsk for Yanov smh

[empty gorge]

WHERE PATCH REEEE

[slow sand]

maybe Ocher has an update?

[crystal merlin]

It's not patching Saturday

[celest goblet]

they said they would try but that is not a guarantee

[drifting niche]

Who is Ocher

[mystic sigil]

they holding it back for monday so our monday isnt as shit

[zinc apex]

just communicate with us holy shizzle

[crystal merlin]

I wonder what would the new update bring us, aside from the mutated squirrels ofc.

[celest goblet]

I don't really expect a specific timeline of things but at this point I would definitely appreciate a broad outline of what sort of things they plan to update and in what order. But I guess that's what the fabled roadmap will bring

[celest blaze]

Fr

[slow sand]

Another CM, one of the guys from GSC who's announced patches before aside from Mol1t.
He's online right now, but then again, maybe its his off time today. 🤷‍♂️

[placid spoke]

One of those hoodie mutants snatching my shotgun from my hands, levitating it in front of me and killing me with it is one of the coolest things ive ever seen in a video game

[kindred drum]

[north violet]

I think they mentioned in a recent interview that they're aware of how poor their communication has been and that they want to improve that as well as transparency.

[celest goblet]

tbh I think as long as they lay out some basic expectations at some point they will be fine

the sooner the better obviously

[north violet]

Yeah, hopefully we don't have to wait too long for that.

I do genuinely believe that GSC has the best of intentions, but...yeah.

I feel like a lot of this stuff is effectively growing pains, I mean they went from under 100 employees in 2020 to 400 plus by 2025, that's some pretty impressive growth in only five years, but it's undoubtedly going to cause chaos.

[celest goblet]

Definitely. Their biggest project by several times over pretty sure, and the sort that is hard to make even when you have a well developed production pipeline

[finite dragon]

Dude... main reason Stalker 2 crash and freeze is due to Nvidia overlay, for f sakes turn this sickness off and the game will never crash.

[north violet]

If that thing about development only starting in 2020 is true, I'd love to know who thought they could somehow get the game out in only 2 years and have it be feature complete and well optimized.

A project of this scale and detail would take years even for a large AAA dev studio.

[kindred drum]

Seems like they are not sure about anything to make any announcements atm

In other words they have too much on their hands

[north violet]

I think they don't want to give false expectations or false promises; I think they learned their lesson with the game's launch and are being extra cautious about what they say.

[celest goblet]

Better to get all the ducks in a row and then make announcements

[north violet]

Exactly.

Unfortunately, there are quite a few ducks, and the bastards won't stop flying away.

[drifting niche]

In vain they said that the update could be released on the weekend.

[zinc apex]

Mol1t is online 🔥 🔥 🔥

[north violet]

Jesus Christ be praised! Mol1t is here!

[celest blaze]

[tiny token]

you won't believe it

[celest goblet]

More or less it is hopefully taking a bit of a hit in community sentiment up front to pay off later

[mystic sigil]

Mol1t🙏

[magic coyote]

Add that while they were developing the game, they were also developing the two DLCs at the same time. Like it or not, GSC has always had these kinds of stupid decisions, and I doubt it was the developers' choice.

[north violet]

Do you have a source that they were developing the two DLCs at the same time as the base game?

[celest goblet]

Oh yeah, the level of perhaps inadvisable ambition is not... new, exactly

[celest blaze]

ngl developing dlc and the game at the same time is so wack if true why couldnt it be base game instead

[north violet]

Case in point the original ambitions for A-Life where they wanted it to be possible for an NPC to beat the game before the player.

[celest blaze]

like companies cutting content and giving us "day 1 dlc"

[magic coyote]

yea, 200gb of leak, But I'd rather not share it with anyone; everyone should look for it at their own risk. You can see both the DLC areas and their names.

[celest goblet]

Well starting preproduction on DLC while finishing production on the main game is not unusual

[north violet]

☝️

[celest blaze]

i hope they are developing the AN-94...

[magic coyote]

It's something that has been done since Burnout Paradise in 2007, but that doesn't justify the fact that it's a questionable practice. Still, that's the least of the problems of stalker 2

[north violet]

Right, you might be misunderstanding the level of time and resources being put towards the development of the DLC during that time.

Are there any actual assets or was it just the locations listed on the map?

[celest goblet]

Eh. In the final stages of development you will have people whose jobs are essentially done. If you want to keep them on staff you need your next project at least somewhat started to give them work

[stiff pasture]

I still think it would be funny as hell if they added the AK-101

[celest blaze]

Fr lol

ngl i may get hate for this but AKs are boring af rifles

[stiff pasture]

DLC trailer drops
‘NEW AK?!’
It’s the 5.56 AK lmao

[celest blaze]

FN FALS, AUG, M16s 👑

[magic coyote]

They had weapons that didn’t make it into the final version, barely any developed map, and yet one of the two DLCs already had some progress, like routes for the player and other details

[celest blaze]

Scar L & H..

[sly matrix]

M240 : )

[stiff pasture]

Give me the Fora’s big brother, the Tavor 7, I’d love another .308 rifle

[celest blaze]

based taste

[north violet]

We do really need a Western/NATO LMG.

[zinc apex]

Galil ❤️

[magic coyote]

I need a Desert Eagle (pls)

[sly matrix]

fishing pole : )

[celest goblet]

Well this does at least sound like the sort of things you'd want determined before the main production starts, ideally

[wise geyser]

You guys believe we may get the update today?

[stiff pasture]

A 9mm pistol (a beretta or Jericho) would be nice

[magic coyote]

maybe? idk

[stiff pasture]

I know it likely wouldn’t fit but I think it’d be funny if they added a .50

Imagine just obliterating a random bandit with a Barrett

[celest blaze]

god i want them to add the WA2000..

[magic coyote]

I just want to cook a Bloodsucker in the game...

[granite mortar]

Omg
Cat

[north violet]

Bloodsucker goulash from Misery!

[granite mortar]

Omg
Cat

[magic coyote]

I had a really rough time in Misery. When I played it back in the day, I thought the only mode was the one where sunlight gave you radiation.

[granite mortar]

dont know whats worse
the food or the mod

[sly matrix]

bloodsucker tentacle takoyaki

[north violet]

When I played it that was a separate mode that you had to turn on, I'm not sure if that was something that had changed as the mod was updated.

I liked certain aspects of it, but like with Anomaly and GAMMA, I wasn't a fan of how long you were stuck in the hobo phase. I like the idea of making it harder for the player to steamroll everything, but it just felt too extreme.

[stiff pasture]

Add some KelTech guns, the goofier the better

[slow sand]

Mol1t came in for us 🥹

[north violet]

Nah man, give me my Kraut space-magic gun (G11) and a Pancor Jackhammer; S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is alternate reality hard sci-fi, we can put stuff like that in the game.

[celest blaze]

a man of impeccible taste

i love the g11

[magic coyote]

mods like Dreamcatcher, Area, and REBORN really bring a different vibe to the game.

[viral apex]

My Best friend seems to passed away

[celest blaze]

rip to your friend

[viral apex]

She quit herself after a month depression, her gf quit herself one day and just couldnt handle it

She text me yesterday, i advise a common contact but when i was talking, she took confidence and did it

8 tablets of sleeping pills, chlorine and seems she ser up herself in fire

I wanna cry

[desert kite]

Did Gabe actually say he plays alot of stalker 2

[celest blaze]

i think so

[desert kite]

Das crazy

[north violet]

He did yes, I think he said he only had to get one more ending.

[celest blaze]

i wonder what his favorite stalker game is..

|| hope it's clear sky ||

[zinc apex]

When Valve buy GSC

[north violet]

Valve would probably be a decent parent company to GSC tbh.

[prisma goblet]

How much time does he have to be able to finish stalker 2 3times?? Lol

[north violet]

He's the CEO of a company that basically prints money, he's probably got a good chunk of free time in his day to day life.

[zinc apex]

if anyone deserves to be rich it's GabeN

[north violet]

I'm just happy he seems to have been taking better care of himself as he's gotten older. Dude's lost a lot of weight and looks so much healthier now.

Right, I gotta get ready for work. Talk to you folks tomorrow.

[dim topaz]

He always gave me Santa vibes

[wise geyser]

Rip man

[reef wadi]

did new things got added since the release? did it got in perfromance therms better?

[mystic sigil]

only good thing since launch that has come out is the mods

[reef wadi]

disapointing

[mystic sigil]

they do be adding things but i dont notice any of them except npcs now loot dead bodies and take ur loot 🙂

[reef wadi]

Well that does not sound fun

[mystic sigil]

some of the mods are very promising tho and i think u will have a good time if u pick some good ones such as modular hard mode and then get the optional mods it suggests

[reef wadi]

I think im going to keep waiting im not in any hurry to play a game like this poorly polished i dont regret buyng the biggest edition but i wish they put more effort . Who knows maybe in 1 year it will be the game that suposed to be

[mystic sigil]

also a mod for free roam now so you dont have to touch the story and just explore with the mods u chose

[reef wadi]

Tarkov single player does that but im aware they put a lot of efford in to the Ukranian/stalker essence

[mystic sigil]

yh will be time for a life to be fixed i seen unreal engine can never handle what a life 1.0 once was because its so complex but who knows in a years time

[celest blaze]

millions must play op2..

the real zone..

[finite dragon]

I feel like this is less impressive than an average person achieving the same thing though 🤣

If I had 20 bil I'd be able to afford a dietician a nutritionist five chefs for my main yacht one chef for every other yacht plus the best produce money can buy

If anything it probably reflects more poorly on dude that he's been rich for ages and only recently has he been looking a lot better

But meh some people don't care about things like that until later so it's not judgement anyway 🤣 throwaway statement

[celest blaze]

id be like bezos and hop on gear lol

[indigo marsh]

You can get mutant parts from crows in CotZ

[celest blaze]

its so neat lol i learned about it not long ago

[sharp minnow]

It looks like the patch will only be available from Monday

[indigo marsh]

I tried mag dumping a crow to test my skill in the CS bandit mini game in CotZ and I didn't get a single hit. I only learned that this was possible after using my spsa 12.

That gun is so peak

[rough condor]

No... We really have no idea when they'll release it, no point in speculating. More transparency they say, lmao!

[late geyser]

a-life 3.0 when?
