[shut cosmos]

With absurd amount of work yeah it works

Its notoriously garbage

[quartz olive]

I had never needed to do the amount of trouble shooting with any of the stalker games and I first played them in 2010

[worn oar]

More of miraculously performing better than better coded engines mostly

X-ray was hell, but a miracle

[quartz olive]

I spent more time trying to get this to run and not drop to 10 frames per minute on a PC well above the recommended specs than trying to see how much shit i can jam in a stalkersoup install until it just crashed when trying to load into agroprom

[shut cosmos]

I genuinely dont know how lol

Xray was source if it was overdosing in a chair

[quartz olive]

The trvth is that GSC should have just not hastily ported the game to UE5 just for the sake of doing it

And sticked to UE 4 instead

[shut cosmos]

Yeah they should've stuck to ue4

[quartz olive]

I wonder
Does the SDK actually allow to make mods like the ones for the OG games? I don't mean simple reskins or config edits like the ones we got before the SoC devtools were leaked

[worn oar]

Nobody does I used to be a modder (tho, not engine orianted), so ik quite a lot about x-ray and how it somehow worked better than many thought it would

[quartz olive]

But full on conversions like LA or OLR

[worn oar]

Yeah. Ppl can make most things with it ranging from edits to brand new stuff and animations. It has some limits since it's phase one, but by the time it reaches other phases, it'll alow more and more until perhaps everything possible

[quartz olive]

cant wait for some russian 45 year old factory worker to recreate the Stalker 2 (2011) storyline in UE5 (since the attempt at remaking it on Xray 2.0 kinda died out afaik)

[analog helm]

russian factory workers are too busy cranking up artillery shells to make the ends meet. The rest of their time is spent drinking

[quartz olive]

the amount of videos on OP 2.2 tell me otherwise

[worthy zodiac]

To be fair, I doubt you played them with mods first, then updated them, then uninstalled the mods and tried to play on your old savefiles that were played on both modded and older version of the game

[quartz olive]

actually i did switch between different config files

Which is what those mods were

Aside from the hud one

[terse swallow]

They probably didn't do it for the sake of it. Lumen/RT lightning pipelines do make things a lot easier for devs

Whether it makes things better for the end user is definitely an open question, one people mostly answer "no" to, but it does make it easier for devs.

[zenith creek]

Yeah, baking lighting takes a lot of time so leaving that to the player lets the devs update the levels/game that much faster

[pulsar lion]

Lumen is a lazy solution for lighting

games back then had their own style, lighting and filters, now every game looks like the same photo-realistic slop

[terse swallow]

Nanite isn't even related to lighting, it's a different way of handling LOD transitions lol

[pulsar lion]

sorry i accidentally added that

Ray tracing is not even needed at all

cyberpunk and doom look different yea

[terse swallow]

You are ontologically stupid and beyond saving.

[pulsar lion]

Just because i think that old games are better than all the degrading technology of now

[terse swallow]

Yeah I don't like SW Lumen either but people talk so much stupidity about RT that it hurts my goddamn brain

[zenith creek]

I think S2 should look like Star Wars, and Star Wars should look like Doom /s

[shut cosmos]

I just had to lose 2 hours of progress

Because I fought a burer. He grabbed my saiga. And I entirely forgot to pick it back up

[storm kernel]

[short oak]

Hey friends,is it my impression,or those last updates made the game’s performance worse? Are you having lower performance after the patches?

Congrats!

I'm currently at 1.85 million Koupons.
I reached 2 million just once, but started spending money on many upgrades for mid-level armors (No Exos) and weapons, and got down to 1.5 million Koupons.
I'm currently trying to work my way back up to 2 million.

[livid adder]

[supple wedge]

PAO 2x

[empty echo]

well that's a bit stupid, is that the black or tan 2x?

[supple wedge]

black

I've used it a lot. Really like that gun

[empty echo]

that's good, it won't be ugly at least
still :/ no red dot is a shame, i guess there has to be a reason for trophy

which is a problem that a red dot is the only reason trophy is special

yeah i'm using it rn, i don't use it much so i thought i would in my playthrough. it's a good gun

[supple wedge]

You'll be extra happy when you find Trophy though

[empty echo]

I have it, but i'm using a normal asval for the scope

[supple wedge]

Right, you can't remove it

[empty echo]

the 4x one I mean, u can and use the irons

is trophy only special coz of the red dot? or does it have anything else

[empty echo]

oh, sorry no
i tried all 3 red dots and none fit

an asval with a collimator and the grip and lazer upgrades would be the sickest thing ever

[exotic relic]

I thought the as val accepted the open collimator

[pliant grove]

Only the unique one does

[exotic relic]

weird game

[pliant grove]

Real

I’m waiting for someone to drop a mod that removes that boundary and just lets all optics go on all weapons

[exotic relic]

as val has no umagnified optics only a 2X and 4X

[exotic relic]

does the expanded armory mod fix that

[pliant grove]

Possibly? I’ve never used it since I’m on console

[exotic relic]

it does, but it's not on console yet

OXA is one of the best mods cos you also get nvg

[pliant grove]

I hope that the porting to console goes pretty smoothly, other games have done it somewhat well like fallout and snow runner

[exotic relic]

the Devs need to make it faster/easier to port mods onto console cos at its current rate it just doesn't keep up and takes forever

[drifting niche]

Any news about patch/roadmap/sdk?

[dense jackal]

Nothing which makes me depressed

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[worn oar]

It's done manually after testing available submitted mods. They are already figuring a faster and more suitable way.

[ripe thorn]

No gsc answers these days, hopefully Mol1t is busy cooking the dev blogpost and q3 map

I tried to kill the stalkers in the Cordon camp where Sidorovich is staying. If you kill one nothing happens, if you kill a second Stalker they go on alert, if you kill a third Stalker they all become hostile. It works like that right?

[wraith socket]

I thought he might have left off the "s" in stuff.
As in "is this stuff in the cordon?"
“Is this damn bro in cordon”? makes no sense.

[placid spade]

Depends, when you come to the mission in Zalyssia, where to fight back the attacking Monoliths, there is one deadly hit onto a friendly enough to turn the whole camp against you

Accidently hits would be tolerated

[finite dragon]

GSC knows that update 1.5.1 basically broke the game (again)? Look at steam discussion. People with over 100hours played and not a single freeze or memory leak (like me) are now having complete shutdown 10-15sec in the game!

[eager cairn]

Was waiting for a second play since 1.1 patch and even with 1.5.1 i got drops to 10 fps again no matter what settings, seems 6gb VRAM GPU are really done with this game.

[weary nymph]

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tuff\&page=3

[supple wedge]

Sorry, I thought you were asking a question.

But yeah I dunno. Works fine for me.

[exotic relic]

I mean yeah, most 6gb vram GPUs are over for games such as stalker 2 or most modern games unless you're running them at sub 1080p resolutions at low settings

[zenith creek]

Even 8 GB cards aren't selling
Too underpowered at 1080p

[exotic relic]

atleast newer 8gb cards usually have higher bus widths or speeds or new gddr versions but most 6gb are a couple gens outdated now like 3050, 2060 are the absolutely most recent offerings

[clear breach]

i play on 6gb vram and its normal, only locations like zalissia and same is problem but you can simply reload game, for open world exploring its ok

[eager cairn]

Yes reloading fixes true

[clear breach]

and tip never open pda when your ram is near 6gb, just go away an open in field when vram is down

it help me a lot because when i open pda in such places it auto drop fps and reload need.

[exotic relic]

"playable"

the afformentioned playable

[clear breach]

very playable for such low budget cards

i play on 2060 laptop with 100+ fps in open world on high medium settings dlls balanced and frame gen, only Vram issue but its okay to reload game once in 3-5 hours

[worthy zodiac]

In some aspects. The problem with original trilogy is that none of the vanilla games had actually good implementation of the system, unfortunately. But if you combine all the good features (and ignore the bad ones, of course) then no, s2 isn't there yet

(And these features are already combined in many mods for original games so you can see the "whole" system, more or less)

The point is not to get as good as X anyways, the point is to create a good and fun system that is immersive and interesting to interact with

As I've said before, it would be really great if they'd go far and beyond anything that we've seen so far in all the previous implementations, mods included (without making it something that doesn't feel like a stalker game). We still don't know what A-Life 2 is supposed to be tho so tough luck

Cause we all know that the original A-Life is also not the "real thing" and it was never a finished, meaningful system

[tiny token]

Things I want from A-Life in Stalker 2:

1. being patted on the head
2. being called a good boy

[supple wedge]

"None of the vanilla games had actually good implementation of the system (Alife)"
The system people will not shut up about in stalker 2

Talk about moving the goal posts.

[dim topaz]

CoP alife was peak

Freeplay mods even more so

We'll get there eventually with S2 too

[dim topaz]

Hey that's how I played SoC back in 2008

[worthy zodiac]

Yes? All of the implementations in vanilla games had some big issues (SoC had too many scripted and broken events, CS faction wars were too predictable because NPCs weren't doing anything but participating in the war and CoP was restricting NPCs to the locations where they spawned in) and the system in S2 isn't even on the level of original games yet (for example, it would be cool if S2 could repopulate the zone like CS does it – far away from the player instead of spawning stuff near you) while we were supposed to get "2.0" version of the system. There's no contradiction here.

The systems in vanilla original games are still impressive even with all the issues tho and no other openworld fps game tries to do something like that, for some reason

(not that I know, at least)

You can love the systems and the original games but that doesn't mean you should ignore the issues and it doesn't mean we can't want something even better

[supple wedge]

But you can't think it's "good", because it has some flaws.

Like how you can't like any graphics with any amount of ghosting.

[worthy zodiac]

I mean, you can if you want to. Saying that the system is good or bad is subjective. For me it got really good with mods (From old stuff like AMK to modern stuff like Call of the Zone). When I think about "good implementations" of the system I think about these mods, yeah

[supple wedge]

Right. So you don't like the Stalker games.

[worthy zodiac]

No, I just think that they have flaws

[supple wedge]

But you don't think they are "good"

[worthy zodiac]

No, they are good. I was talking about A-life implementations, not the whole games

[supple wedge]

So you think the thing that people won't shut up about as the defining aspect of stalker. The thing people have been moaning about for months and still do. Is not good in the original games?

Isn't there a Gamma discord or something?

[dim topaz]

Bro it's not that deep
He likes the game but not certain aspects

I disagree with him but what he's saying is not exactly rocket science

[worthy zodiac]

Just because the systems don't have a good implementation in vanilla games (in my honest opinion) it doesn't mean that they aren't there, it doesn't mean that they don't make stalker games unique and it doesn't mean that there's a better alternative implementation in other fps games (the only alternatives with good implementations of systems like these are, well... Mods for these stalker games, lol). So yeah, there are no contradictions here: I love these systems even in their original states in vanilla games even if I don't consider their implementation to be good (as I've said, I can't say that they have a good implementation just because there are mods that show what could be done with these systems, I named you two of them before, you can check them out and see for yourself) and I want that system to be good in S2 too.

[hazy helm]

the A-Life that is featured in all of the games, is more than flawed as it is broken and has large parts missing that you can restore with AMK
like how in SOC, the system lacks any simulation outside of the map aside from NPCs being able to walk around, or in CS where, it is the same except now NPCs spawn depending on story progress (Freedom has conditional spawning in maps if you did their story or not to participate in faction wars)
COP represents the biggest step down in AI in the entire stalkers series having neutered the AI both in simulation and their capacity of response

[exotic relic]

eurojank

[swift dragon]

Any late night stalkers

[dim topaz]

The low visibility and heightened senses make it the best time to stalk

[fathom cedar]

Please for the love of god stop spreading that crap

AMK doesn’t restore anything. It can’t restore anything. The systems you are talking about are coded in engine, and AMK was made years before engine editing became accessible.

What AMK does is band-aid ““““simulation””””” through scripts, it does not restore anything.

[hazy helm]

we had access to the base of the A-Life before SOC Released thru the leaked builds and AMK was extrapolated from that

[fathom cedar]

And CS very clearly has offline combat you see it on the map for gods sake

[fathom cedar]

That’s just nonsense, there wasn’t a build that had “true alife” if you judge from those that were leaked before the game’s release

Otherwise 1935 release wouldn’t have happened

Just learn build leak history and stop saying crap about things you have no idea about

[hazy helm]

I didnt say AMK was a true alife implementation only that it restored some alife features post release

[fathom cedar]

It didn’t. It can’t restore features. Those features lie in-engine. AMK is a mod that doesn’t touch the engine.

It did some workarounds through Lua to simulate stuff but that was all scripted and completely unrelated to actual A-Life system

[hazy helm]

you can still restore these by hacky ways in the LUA scripting to try and simulate what they saw in the leaks

no it isnt a full actualized A-Life system

[fathom cedar]

Simulate what? What leaks? What exactly did they see and what build was it?

The actual leaks before the game’s release very far and few. Mostly multiplayer stuff. Or very small tests of isolated levels.

There was no “true Alife” before SoC’s release, with the exception of offline combat being turned off by release, which AMK modders would know nothing of either way

It’s not a restoration or recreation of anything.

[hazy helm]

very well then, I am a retard

[fathom cedar]

Good boy.

[hazy helm]

doesn't change the crux of the argument which was, the system wasnt realized trully in the games, and COP only cut back on it

[fathom cedar]

CS squad simulation worked fine and I wouldn’t call it overly predictable.

I have seen Freedom in the Red Forest, Crimson got bandits to take the Duty base, Toad from C-Con had military occupy the rookie village.

The whole monolith in garbage thing is also rare.

[sly matrix]

Bandits can also take freedom.basw in army warehouses

[hazy helm]

it still doesnt change the prupose of what I said, and spawns are still dictated by story progression

[worthy zodiac]

I'm not good in understanding all the actual technicalities of A-Life in original games so thank you for correcting us here and there, lol

[worthy zodiac]

I've replayed CS a few months ago (with SRP and then like a half of it without SRP) and I dunno, it kinda felt very samey. Just same NPCs running same routes and dying at the same spots over and over again leaving millions of guns that were starting to stack in some places...

Yet again, it's fine and it was very impressive to watch the faction war UNFOLD before your eyes on your PDA...

It's just sad that the squads didn't do anything but trying to capture the points

And when the other base is captured – the zone simply becomes dead

[dire dagger]

Uh sir the approved talking points

World is empty and lifeless game sucks

What you doing going off script

[worthy zodiac]

I think I'd like it even in previous versions of the game. Sure, the stashes are a little bit mundane but the locations themselves are just fun to explore for the sake of exploring. Reminds me of playing INFRA, original stalker games didn't focus so much on the exploration aspect

[celest goblet]

I think stashes could use a rework at some point yeah. But I do find a lot of fun enjoyment in just looking around. The environment is ridiculously full of detail.

I’m just joking bro

[worthy zodiac]

Ah, and power supply too...

[dire dagger]

[zenith creek]

Honestly the main reason I didn't play earlier builds of the game is that I noticed patch notes saying loot was getting moved around and critical NPCs were dying

Didn't want to risk getting invested in a playthrough and then realizing I needed to start all over

[dire dagger]

I mean the game was a buggy mess

Barely an alpha build

[zenith creek]

Also that
I was crashing every 10-20 mins on 1.1

[dire dagger]

Like this game launched long before it was ready

It’s still not really ready

As massive amounts of content were cut

More than half of the content past the half way point is cut

And in the final 2 areas basically everything was cut

[zenith creek]

Oh no the game is not worth the $70 or the $100 yet
But like
At least I don't think new games will be needed every single patch anymore

[dire dagger]

Game is worth maybe 50 dollars

[zenith creek]

The art team really nailed it though
Gotta give them credit

[dire dagger]

Yah I mean if they end up finishing the game most of my criticism will be null

[weary nymph]

if the game had more endgame content it would be phenomenal

[dire dagger]

It’s all cut

the problem is that the game needs optimization and it doesn't matter which components you buy.

[dim topaz]

that's what I'm saying lmao

most games do multithreading badly but s2 especially

[magic coyote]

you said it is cpu demanding, and it is more gpu demanding than cpu in some cases.

although the only thing this game really demands is a bit of optimization....

[dim topaz]

check your individual cpu usage

[magic coyote]

used several cores

[dim topaz]

one would hope so

[magic coyote]

Of course, not all or to an acceptable use

[dim topaz]

Did you have any of them near 100%

[magic coyote]

I doubt because of the temperatures I should look at it again.

[dim topaz]

you're also in zalissya which is a hub (which notoriously run bad, probably due to NPCs which again, come back to CPU not GPU usage)

[magic coyote]

is the site I use as a reference to see if they improved the optimization.

it gives me the same results since 1.0 so here goes

[dim topaz]

also beyond 1080p idk anything about your settings but let's be real with your rig this game should not run the way it does

[dim topaz]

optimization was never a point of argument, the game is terribly optimized

[magic coyote]

the thing is that it is not as demanding cpu as they say, mainly because it never takes good advantage of the cpus, in better conditions like being in unreal 5.4 some normal cpus could withstand stalekr 2

[dim topaz]

I'm not sure what you mean by "never takes advantage of cpus"

[magic coyote]

"They don't fully utilize the computing power."

[dim topaz]

well yes, because their multithreading is awful, as I've been saying

which means the game still ends up being cpu bound

[magic coyote]

uuuu

Compensating for poor CPU utilization with a higher-end processor doesn't make the game inherently CPU-demanding, because you're not actually compensating for any real workload or demand.

[zenith creek]

On a 7900X I was CPU bound to 40 FPS no matter what graphics settings I used
I know I was CPU bound because upgrading to a 9900X3D gained me an extra 15-20 FPS on high settings (and FPS started scaling properly with menu settings)

[dim topaz]

I can see your logic, but when talking about "what is causing my game to run like A$$?" it always falls onto the weakest link
And in this case the CPU is the weakest link

[magic coyote]

that’s true, I would simply categorize it differently than CPU-demanding. Mainly because some people think that just by changing the CPU all problems get fixed. For example, in Zalisia I didn’t gain any FPS when upgrading from an i5 12th gen to an i7 13th gen, precisely because of those game-related issues.

Overall, it’s a mess. Graphically, thanks to Lumen software, the same issues happen.

[dim topaz]

Oh yea no argument there at all

it's inexcusable

[storm kernel]

games easily worth $70 it's prolly one of the only games worth full price out there

[magic coyote]

If I’m paying full price, why am I not getting the full game? I don’t see ‘beta’ anywhere on Steam

[celest blaze]

[empty gorge]

bait used to be believable

[worthy zodiac]

Yeah, wish it was released in Early Access. Sure, AAA studios aren't used to do this but it would be better than calling it 1.0

[tiny token]

I love the fact that they focused on movement and in-PoI exploration

the stashes are basically like secrets in a boomer shooter. often times you are supposed to either solve a small puzzle, look somewhere unexpected, do some sick parkour and stuff like that. love it

that feeling when you parkour into a spot you think is unintended but there's a stash sitting there waiting for you

Should I farm artifacts in the first two zones or should I just play the game and take the onces I find underways?

the 3 month delay was to go from 0.7 to 0.8

[zinc apex]

[worthy zodiac]

I never needed to farm them, I never go out of my way to get them either. Doing kinda fine

[crude hawk]

I just want more stamina 😄 Hope I find one that gives that fast

[thorn ledge]

Hello! After defeating Tyrant in the Arena, it is possible to fight in the Arena again?

[warped relic]

Unfortunately not.

[warped relic]

Shay's QoL mod, gives you like 50% extra stamina.

[lucid pagoda]

I want the stamina boost because I think vanilla is cripplingly low and the fact that artifacts for endurance don't give you a greater pool of it but only increase the regen rate is just ridiculous, but man I don't want that carryweight buff attached to every damn version of that mod for some reason, just makes it too cheesey to me imo

[wraith socket]

There are Mods that just help with the stamina boost. They've been out since 2024.

[lucid pagoda]

am on Xbox my bad should have clarified, & the only option so far on there for stamina boost are those Shay mod variants

I do see there is a 1/2 and 1/4 just stamina usage one on mod.io hopefully gets approved by GSC sooner than later

[wraith socket]

I can't help you there. My knowledge of X-Box Mods are nonexistent.

[lucid pagoda]

very slowly growing but right now yeah we only have 36 mods in total out of the 120 that are mod.io https://mod.io/g/stalker2?_sort=-date_live&platforms=xboxseriesx

[dense jackal]

I haven't found any like that

[wraith socket]

I've only found one, that keeps having supplies added to it, no matter how many times I empty it.

[dense jackal]

That's another glitch I hope doesn't get fixed

[wraith socket]

It's been that way for half a year.

[orchid gale]

Best glitch in the game is the jump pad one

I was walking in the lesser zone, threw a bolt while I stepped on a jump pad on accident and yeeted myself to the red forest with no fall damage

[polar zinc]

Is there a mod that removes NPC last names or at least changes them so they’re not completely ridiculous? Seriously, seeing names like 'Michael Zucchini' ALL THE TIME in an otherwise well-crafted dystopian world is killing the vibe. I checked Nexus but couldn’t find anything. Did I miss one?

[ripe patrol]

I tried and let me tell you it's a bit of a nightmare to make such a mod

Maybe just removing last names might be possible easier, but changing the names to be more "realistic" requires a lot more work

[polar zinc]

Yeah, I was thinking that, too. Would require a comprehensive new dictionary and logic to identify and replace, etc. ... Getting rid of the last names though, would be a huge step forward already! Maybe a regex that checks if there are two names, and then removes the second one? idk, not a programmer... but would seriously donate for a mod like that.

[ripe patrol]

The problem of adding new names is the localization file. There is one in the whole game and replacing it will have consequences and conflict issues with any other mod that adds even the smallest string

not to mention localizing all the added names for different languages

[polar zinc]

What financial incentive would be needed to do a mod that deletes last names? That should be independent from localization, hopefully

[ripe patrol]

no need to pay anyone for that

let me check if i can do it quickly

Hello everyone, i am once again asking for information for research of the zone.
how much money you got in your inventory? and what is your main quest progress? are u past sircaa? past the other thingy after it? ||duga||? further? etc thank you!

[dire dagger]

Squid research team going through a rough patch it seems

[celest goblet]

Current money: dirt poor (forget exactly how much but it's like ~1000)
Current progress: At Wild Island (||Azimuth Station is next main mission||)

[thick wolf]

41k credits, working on finding Alpha and Bravo teams in Zaton, not gotten to sircaa yet.

I've started multiple playthroughs, but this is the furthest I've gone in any of them

[empty gorge]

shiiii

my calculations where wayyy tf off

[twilit dragon]

Pripyat after ||reloading my point of no return save||

120k ish credits with most of not all my stuff fully upgraded, at least my exo suit.

[celest goblet]

To elaborate on what I've done a little more, not really gone off the path of the main story, otherwise I'd probably have more coupons. I keep spending all my money on weapon and armor upgrades. Just dumped a bunch into the Lynx

So I've just done the lesser zone and garbage main and side missions, plus the ones on wild island. Now doing Quiet's mission in Cordon

[empty gorge]

how much u think u would have? by now

[celest goblet]

Hard to guess but definitely more than 100k total so far, probably close to or less than 200k. Could be a bit higher if I did more bartender jobs or sold more of my artifacts

I had a decent stack of like 30k before getting the lynx and installing a ton of upgrades

[empty gorge]

ait ty ty

[candid plaza]

damn i would love to change the scope of the lynx the new mosin scope looks like 10 times better than svds scope

[sly matrix]

PSO-1 >>> PU

[worthy zodiac]

It's because these are supposed to be their real names in combination with their made up nicknames, not their actual last names. Having a silly nickname is something very typical in environments like these

[lucid pagoda]

Exactly. I've always thought of it as similar to the way that people take on funny/relevant trail names as pseudonym when they hike the Appalachian trail just like stalkers when they are in the Zone getting nicknames from one another

[dire dagger]

I’ll do yah one better pe scope

[dense jackal]

I finished the game with skif's ending with like 40k to my name

[empty gorge]

hello i am once again asking for your help, what hub is himzavod?

[dense jackal]

Himzavod?

[polar zinc]

I get the intention, but giving NPC a name that consists of the ever repeating pattern of a real first name and a totally random word out of a dictionary is just breaking the immersion for me, because it constantly reminds you that these names are generated.

[worthy zodiac]

I mean, does removing all these nicknames make the pattern less repeatable? Not trying to argue, just trying to understand what's the real issue here. Never thought about this as something that's immersion breaking so yeah... It's interesting to see that take

[worthy zodiac]

Not sure if you are asking unironically but I've got 107k and I'm on "Ad astra per aspera" mission (Visiting them swamps for the first time)

[stiff pasture]

Money: 30k
Main quest: Talk to Diode for the first time, pre SIRCAA

[polar zinc]

Yeah, it totally helps. Because assigning totally random object names is not how real nicknames work. Real nicknames have either a meaning or are somewhat related to the background or personality of that person. My opinion at least. Totally fair to see it different, of course. @ripe patrol wrote a little mod, that removes the last names from random NPC but leaves last names of all 'scripted' NPC (vendors, etc.). For me I think it`s much better to come accross multiple Boris in the game than Boris Cucumber, Boris Stopwatch, Boris Shoe, Boris Car, Boris Screwdriver, Boris Banana, Boris Dumpling, Boris Pear, Boris Wood, Boris Airplane, Boris Leather, Boris Tree, Boris Cake, ...

[worthy zodiac]

To be fair, I'm playing in ukrainian language so maybe the nicknames are really worse in english one...

[empty gorge]

its for a mod

but need to get an idea on what the average net worth of the player is at certain points in story

[hazy helm]

Boohoo

[ripe patrol]

Eh i honestly dont like many of the names of people i run into. And having mods like NPC interactions makes it a bit more obvious. I tried adding a plethora of more names, but with how localization is handled atm, i have up on it real quick. I did a small mod for @polar zinc because i already had a "working copy" of things i was experimenting with.

[ripe patrol]

Senior Mods will bait. Joins in a conversation just to be a nuisance

[hazy helm]

tbh, not really
if you get that bothered over a second name
boohoo

[celest goblet]

Some of the choices can be a little silly but I'm pretty sure giving every NPC a nickname was meant to be an homage to roadside picnic, where the stalkers have them too

[worthy zodiac]

I dunno, it's just normal in Ukraine, generally. From places like school to places like the trenches in the real war - people always come up with nicknames for some reason. Maybe it isn't like that in other parts of the world?

[celest goblet]

I didn't know that. I personally figured it was common so you wouldn't risk people learning your real name, either people you crossed or the authorities

[dapper zinc]

hey folks, haven't played the game in like 8 months - what's the game like at the moment? Is it worth picking back up now or should I temper my cravings until an expected patch?

[worthy zodiac]

I guess it's a good reason for nicknames in places like the Zone, yeah. But yeah, people just like to create nicknames in groups of people that you see every day... At least in all the places where I lived

[worthy zodiac]

Context? It can mean different things. For example, an actor that doesn't have any lines and is just there in the scene on the background

[worthy zodiac]

It depends on your expectations. It got way better but it is definitely not in a finished state yet. Combat AI is a little bit better now, NPCs don't despawn anymore, you can loot mutants now (And they aren't as spongy as before), there's now a cool reloading system that lets you continue your reloading animation where you stopped it (instead of cancelling the entire animation), there are less bugs (still lots of them in the second half of the game, judging by all the stuff that all the people say)

Any idea what's up with this Judy person that randomly sent me a friend request? Discord says this is the only mutual server I have with them.

Maybe they thought your PFP was incredibly handsome.

Buh?

[wraith socket]

There are several Judy here. Which one? I was taking a guess.
We have a new member here called Judy Booty that is posting a lot.

[flint cliff]

Hi everyone, I saw that there are new mods on Xbox, craftable zones and lootable zones, what are they?
There are others too, which one do you use to make the experience more hardcore? I've already installed some...

[dense jackal]

Probably unforgiving zone which makes heeling items more rare and better ballistics regions which rebalances them maybe realistic forest but that kinda kills your fps sometimes so maybe not

[wraith socket]

I'm still waiting for the crapable zone mod.
It allows your character to take a dump.

[dense jackal]

Also lootable zone adds more new loot to the game and honestly too much like sometimes a exo-skeleton pops out of a ammo box for some reason but it works great with craftable zone while adds crafting and now you can craft ammo, meds, detectors, and other stuff I can't remember

But unforgiving zone and those two are incompatible because they both mess with the loot system

[wraith socket]

I think they are new here. They have not posted anything.
I guess you will not know why until you accept the request.

[flint cliff]

Which one would you recommend installing?

Craftable and Lootable Zone?

[exotic relic]

lootable zone doesn't really mesh well with the base game without weight mods cos everything is so heavy like 1 supply box of items is like 10kg and stuff like a single rag is .4kg and there's so much in lootable zone that you cant carry anything because your inventory fills up instantly

lootable zone seems cool but it just absolutely hammers so many items at you its overwhelming it should be much more scarse

[weary nymph]

crafting doesnt work on console right now

[dire dagger]

Who doesn’t love mods that add 500 useless items

[zinc apex]

It's just crafting material

[dire dagger]

Oh

[exotic relic]

alot*

there's also stuff like 10 differant types of rags and propane tanks and little empty shell casings and bullets and medical parts

and they all weigh like .2kg, .4kg, 1 kg and after opening like 1 med box and getting handed 15 rags (among other things, and yes some med boxes literally explode with 20 items) all weighing .4kg it adds up

and the naming is still broken for it too

you can fill up 80kg of intentory space in 5 minutes

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/sam-hyde-hydewars-candyman-ghost-of-kyiv-gif-26802433

so useless things

[exotic relic]

bruh this fall damage is so aggregious in this game like why is a 12 foot fall deadly

it's literally like 2 skifs tall

[empty echo]

yeah, the height that you die from is rediculous
however you should be taking silly damage at that height coz imagine falling 12 feet while carrying 60+ kgs, you're breaking something

[exotic relic]

skif is just an old boomer dad falling off his roof

[empty echo]

ong poor fella, passed his prime lookin ah

[hazy helm]

Skif is an army man

that means his knees are really really hurt due to all the crap he carried in the army

[empty echo]

trueee

[exotic relic]

also I noticed that the fall damage scaling goes from nothing to dead within like 1 meter of height differance

[lucid pagoda]

This is my biggest problem with it, hard to estimate if you're going to survive or not because of that

[exotic relic]

like I just took a drop but jumped beforehand because hardcore parkour and I got my ankles rocked and died then I decided to not jump and I lived

[clever finch]

does anyone know where I should drag the backup save files to? and which ones to drag from a specific date?

[ripe patrol]

There is a very easy way to mod this, but you're right I think it's a very small difference between dead and okay

[dense jackal]

Unforgiving zone if you want something more hardcore

[dense jackal]

It kinda does works like the menu works for me but yeah a lot of times it's broken as hell most of the time

[worthy zodiac]

I hate the way it's calculated too. Basically, it ignores the speed or the height or anything like that, it only counts the time spent in the air... Like, there are some places that look like you might climb there but turns out that slope is too steep for Skif so when you jump there he gets "stuck in the air" for a second or two and then fuсking dies when you touch the ground, no matter how smooth your landing was

[worn oar]

It needs to be toned down significantly tbh. Should have like a modifier that scales with height or something. I mean, one can not clearly die from falling off 1.5m wall.

I personally think it has been toned down a bit

It feels different from launch

Maybe I'm seeing things lmao

Idk

[worthy zodiac]

I've played a very little on launch so can't say for sure

[ripe patrol]

But... It is distanced based tho?

[worthy zodiac]

Especially considering how flat Zalissya is

[ripe patrol]

Height*

[worn oar]

I fell from certain places that used to get me killed but didn't die

[worthy zodiac]

Interesting... Then I can't explain some of my deaths that I've had

[worn oar]

It is but it still needs to be toned down a bit

[ripe patrol]

There is an asset in the game, a curve, which determines the damage of fall damage. It might also be distance traveled calculated,?

[ripe patrol]

I think @safe spindle might've already released a mod for this?

Did you make a Fall Damage mod at some point ?

[worn oar]

Well, it should be in the base game tbh

[worthy zodiac]

I'll see if I can get some footage of me dying because of spending too much time in the air while not falling from a big height

Cause I definitely remember this happening to me at least twice...

[worn oar]

It should only kill when it's over 4m let's say

[safe spindle]

No not yet I was actually using their ingame tool to calculate height and I found a bug which is why we die to some questionable heights.

So soon ™

[worn oar]

I fell on my ass once from a 3m height didn't break anything as far as I'm aware lmao

Almost died tho

[safe spindle]

[worn oar]

A solid block fell over with me and missed

[safe spindle]

I've fallen off one step and almost died, so height is just subjective

[worn oar]

Guess I'm lucky lmao

Should be the same with skif, ex military and such.

[safe spindle]

I've also fallen down a pretty large hill and lived, I probably should not have but all I got where scrapes

[worn oar]

Surviving a full mag of 5mm but dying from a stupid fall ahah

It's diabolical

[lucid pagoda]

Amen very well said whereas I feel like the older games almost had this sense of feeling sticky on surfaces such that you could climb up things without any clamber, but even in having clamber in this game (which barely works at waist-height) most surfaces are extremely slippery and don't make contact with footing that you absolutely should have, especially on slopes or when you are already falling and have that momentum + screen effect

[worn oar]

I wouldn't survive a birdshot myself

[ripe patrol]

You can fall from your feet and die, it's almost a roll of the dice sometimes

[safe spindle]

Yeah there's a weird bug with the fall dmg curve and the way the height is calculated in certain areas. They made a tool for dmg and death and scale buildings and such with it where... Some spots yes you certainly should die how ever for some reason in places where the height map of the world are different you die from a height that should not kill you lol

[nimble cipher]

Reason: Bad word usage

[worn oar]

[safe spindle]

I think If I add a key to the curve and put it to the current height but put our hp to critical and raise the original to a bit higher which is death it will fix the issue.

[worn oar]

Exactly

[safe spindle]

Can honestly report it to gsc maybe they can actually fix it but no promises.

[worn oar]

Or it should be random

Like sometimes you survive or no

T

Lmao

[safe spindle]

That would be hilarious

[worn oar]

It's okay to have it that way cuz it'll be funny and realistic

Haha luck factor

[safe spindle]

Jumps off a box dies..... Perma death run over

[lucid pagoda]

Need some wacky extra work but I would love a feature like Battlefield V has, where you can time a button press and choose to initiate a roll before hitting the ground, slowing your time-to-fire but decreasing fall damage

[worn oar]

Insecurity simulator

[worn oar]

I would even appreciate a boots system lmao as funny as that may sound.

I just want to have a chance to survive a dumb fall

Lmao

[lucid pagoda]

True in general I would like to see more usable equipment slots

[worn oar]

Imagine how sad I am to know that 70% of my death in my first playthrough were fall driven

Even in my second now

At least 20% is fall

[worn oar]

Would take a gymnastic sneakers as an artifact if need me hahah

[lucid pagoda]

Same I legit had over 1000 by the endgame on my first playthrough of ~300 hours & probably similar numbers lmao like easily over 2/3 being fall damage in moments I was so confident that I would survive

[worn oar]

Miss steps too

Bruh

The rat pit

I always die in the same spot

[lucid pagoda]

and with that, there is a huge discrepancy lmao in the time played for example on that save versus the time played according to my Xbox because of dying resetting progression lol

[worn oar]

I honestly never felt frustrated when falling off a high place. I mean one can not expect to survive falling off a crane or second floor for e.g

But a literal 2m Crack that feels like 1 is evil lmao

[dire dagger]

There are certain cliffs that feel programmed to kill you

[worn oar]

Yeah

Shining zone illusion

[dire dagger]

Like you can fall much farther in some
Places than others

[worn oar]

Oh, this place isn't deep

[dire dagger]

It makes no sense

[worn oar]

Boom

Ded

[dire dagger]

Then you can jump from like 50 feet

And live

[worn oar]

I remember in trilogy, I literally voluntarily jump some sure to kill places and still survive lol

[lucid pagoda]

I may be in the minority here but also I hate when still hitting that minimum amount that fall damage is able to kill you just because you are low on health from something else, I think fall damage should not stack linearly with health or something to prevent you from dying on height that typically absolutely wouldn't kill you, but you are already weak, though I guess you could argue that you were so damaged even at that height you couldn't survive the fall such as already shot-up legs unable to bear the weight etc

[worn oar]

The zaton crane

[dire dagger]

Do the fallout strat

[worn oar]

I jumped that place more than once

[dire dagger]

Save and load before you hit the ground

[worn oar]

And I managed to keep going

Wouldn't need any trick

[lucid pagoda]

My reaction when I found out that didn't work in S2

[worn oar]

I just jump and hope i fall on some solid matter before reaching ground

I literally hear ugh then my protagonist goes back to running again

[weary nymph]

wdym it works

the cursor works?

[dense jackal]

I mean on Xbox it's a bit bugged like missing pictures and I'm not able to cook food even with everything I need to

[weary nymph]

yea it is pretty bugged but besides that can you craft things?

[dense jackal]

Yeah I can it just has issues that will probably get fixed in a future update or so

[zinc apex]

🫃

[weary nymph]

how is it working for you

im assuming its random

[dense jackal]

It probably is like the cursor is working fine even on controller for me and I can craft other things just not cook food and some of the pictures are missing in the menu

Also I'm unable to sell yellow marked guns or ammo anymore but I think that's a bug with lootable zone

[lucid pagoda]

yeah I believe that is due to the fact that Xbox approved non-updated version and should be fixed soon as they approve that

[dense jackal]

The waiting begins again stalkers

[weary nymph]

you can sell everything uneed to at eugene in rostok or the guy at pripyat

[stiff pasture]

Wreck at Yaniv too

[exotic relic]

that makes alot of sense especially when I slide down short banks that are like 6 feet tall and die randomly

I counterintuintely always tried to slide down little banks to get down cos I'm like "it's not that high" and I'll die after like a 10 foot drop because I hugged the slope and it wasn't flat enough for me to stand on and wasnt steep enough that I didn't get caught on it and thus descended a bit slower then normal meaning my "air time" was super long

[worthy zodiac]

The funny thing is that modders say that it's based on height and/or distance... So it's hard to say what's the actual issue

https://tenor.com/view/angry-cat-bite-gif-26218368

[rugged axle]

i played stalker 2 back when it first released, and i had a bunch of thsoe balancing mods, is the game like well balanced now? should i delete them?

i remember when all the npcs were ridiculously overpowered

[thick wolf]

It's significantly better but there's still room for improvement

[worthy zodiac]

You should delete the old mods no matter what, I doubt your game will work correctly if you'll keep them.
Not sure what exactly do you want from the balance tho. For me personally it's a little bit too easy to gather money but other than that it's fine. Mutants aren't spongy anymore

[prime spade]

it's still exoskeleton central, but overall much better

[empty gorge]

I am once again asking for your help:
what time length mod are u using if you are using one? not the mod name but the length ie 2x,4x,6x etc

[gritty orchid]

uwu 1.5.2 just in time

2 fixes

[icy canopy]

Absolutely massive patch there

Not even fix for nightstalker reload while holding a detector

[civic coral]

I find it funny they fixed the ship door bc I literally spent 40 mins trying to figure how to get on the ship last night lol

[dull tulip]

So sad to see another patch. I gave it like 6 months before I played again and the game looks and runs even worse than before. What is even going on here guys. I can't even play it on my Xbox. Such a sham.

[hazy helm]

HA!

[lucid pagoda]

Rip lmao I don't know what to tell you, are you on Series S? I have been playing on Series X for like 1100 hours steadily since launch & unless you are really pampered or brainrotted by the standalone modpacks then the state of the game really is fine now as far as playability goes, especially with available mods. But still hoping to get some more restored content because the first third of the game packs a punch with content that the rest falls flat on in that regard.

[dull tulip]

No. Series X. It looks like smeared pixelated dookie. Idk why they ever thought to use unreal engine 5 on consoles that can't run it. You need a 40 series or 50 series to even run it and it look good. Everything just blends into crap. It looks so bad. Even worse after the patches. Frames are awful too.

[celest blaze]

Even with my 40xx without ai its not ideal

[hazy helm]

yhea they shouldnt have made console releases at all

[celest blaze]

They should have never released this at all

[lucid pagoda]

Lol I do agree that especially with foliage, distant object LOD's, etc. the game has issues visually and can in one moment go from looking great to looking terrible but that by no means it is unplayable, maybe not steady 60 frames the whole time but I have had no problem on performance mode in series X the whole time, while there is truth to your points you are exaggerating them wildly

[celest blaze]

People like to shit on consoles but console money (Microsoft) is the only reason stalker 2 exists lol

[hazy helm]

that still doesnt stop me from being right

[celest blaze]

You mean immature

Imagine caring how other people play

[hazy helm]

I mean truth sayer

[celest blaze]

If you're a teen

[dull tulip]

Okay bubby boy. There is no exaggeration. I watch a lizard run across the road right in front of me and you can't even tell it's a lizard.

Ah Splatoon, the flagship nintendo game designed exclusively for pedos.

It's literally about splooging on each other

I suppose stalker was designed for weird sex creeps because some people draw bloodsucker porn.

[late venture]

is every update still requiring you to download a 100gb patch or did they fix that

[lucid pagoda]

Well yeah why do you think we have the freedom faction

[winter stump]

Mmm, yes. Excellent take

[celest blaze]

Wait till you find out gsc added an azov symbol to the game

thats up your alley tho

[winter stump]

Yes but it's not even good.

[lucid pagoda]

I don't really have any related to Bethesda in truth, I'm sorry but you can take this as a jumping off point for more of what I was saying earlier about those other things like Nintendo Disney ROBLOX etc. https://www.post-gazette.com/opinion/adriana-e-ramirez/2024/07/27/ramirez-video-games-roblox-nintendo-pedophile-grooming-child-safety/stories/202407280061

[unreal raptor]

Checks patch notes.

Ok.

[lucid pagoda]

just sayin children should be able to experience all of those games but adults who want to experience those games with children now why is that not just as creepy as an adult wanting to for example physically play dolls with a little girl

[winter stump]

Roblox grooming has been known for years lol. Reason for that being the fact that the platform does zero moderation, and every game has their own "community" that abides by their own rules. It's a wasteland.

[lucid pagoda]

I'll keep my insane takes in #💬┃en_offtop but there's a lot more to discuss here than the meager patch notes all I'm sayin

[winter stump]

Patch notes are they fixed a door and you might possibly crash less in oddly specific circumstances.

[unreal raptor]

Can’t wait to see this roadmap. I hope I make it to see the day.

[silver raptor]

Am I right in thinking that GSC have to release the expansion roadmap details due to Steam’s T&Cs for selling an expansion pass?

[celest goblet]

Apparently not because it hasn't happened yet. That policy change was made a long time after S2 started being for sale so my guess is they have been grandfathered in

[silver raptor]

Thanks for the clarification

[zinc apex]

🫃

[violet stream]

is the game good to play now? tried at launch and it was buggy, i wanted to give the game a chance before i try again

[dense jackal]

It's honestly a VERY mix bag for some people it's working fine like me for others it still doesn't work very well but it definitely got better less buggy key word is less so you could try it out again and see if your PC/console can run it now if not you always refund it and wait a bit longer

[violet stream]

and here i was thinking you were a stalker 2 glazer

[dense jackal]

I am but I'm not blind to the game's faults even though I do love it a lot

[dire dagger]

No one glazes stalker 2 and gets away with it in this server

[celest blaze]

Stalker 2 is amazing

[prime spade]

lies, it's about 4 insane people screaming at eachother

there's not a single sane main character in S2 😭

I guess maybe korshunov, but cmon, that guy still trusts dalin

so therefor he is insane by association

[winter stump]

Close enough fam.

[quartz olive]

finally get s2 to run and NOT crash after launch

[prime spade]

you know what, this is kinda true, all of them seem to glaze the other

[quartz olive]

it even runs fairly well
theres no sound

[prime spade]

restart you sound devices in
system - sound - more sound options - right click on the output device - disable - enable

always works for me

[zinc apex]

yes

[quartz olive]

Yeah i fixed it

[dense jackal]

Stalker 2 is better than the OG trilogy (I never played the trilogy before in my life)

[molten void]

anyone else having issues with stash locations not being given?

asking since I keep finding stashes that have stuff, and stashes I got the location for in my prior playthrough not being displayed

[wraith socket]

Nothing new here. If you go to a stash before it is activated, you will find its contents.
If later that very same stash gets activated and you go to loot it, you will find it empty.

[molten void]

That isn't the issue

this is a "I am not getting more stash locations"

even through I know there are more with blueprints and the like even

but the game has flat out stopped giving locations

[wraith socket]

How many current activations do you have?

[molten void]

activations as in the currently active stash markers?

[wraith socket]

That is what an activation is called. When you see the purple marker.

[molten void]

one moment

I have kept them down whenever possible

[wraith socket]

Where are you now and how many do you think you have cleared?

Did this start with the 1.5.2 patch? Do you have ANY Mods added?

[molten void]

I did start with specfically the 1.5 patch

11 in duga

posting the maps in screens & vids also

[wraith socket]

You started the game (new game) with the 1.5 patch?

[molten void]

Yes

[molten void]

the new game was started the day of 1.5

one stash in icarus, one in red forest, one in yaniv, around 3 in Prypiat, in the point of no return area

[wraith socket]

Did you reach the point of no return and decide not to do that yet and you are in Rostok?

[molten void]

I am in Rostok as of right now and I haven't reached the point of no return

[worthy zodiac]

To be fair, nobody sane would end up in the place like the Zone

[molten void]

so the last stashes are mainly in the duga

however this stash map hasn't really changed much for the last while

otherwise, I have some stashes in that chemical plant tunnel which I ain't naming due to channel

[wraith socket]

Any idea how many you have activated and emptied? 30? 50? 75?

[molten void]

and there were far more prior to my stash cleaning detail I took a while back

[molten void]

I am unsure off hand, most likely 50 at the very bottom end

I would wager more however

roughly around 75-125 feel like a safer bet

be it I keep finding more that have not been emptied scattered about

this is without the stash location being given to clarify

just looking around and going "O hey a stash"

such as finding two of the blueprints for exoskeletons in Prypiat

which was earlier today to clarify, the stash locations haven't got added to for the last several

[wraith socket]

I'm not sure how they behave at this point, considering you have gone to most all the territories and are near the game end.
When I started the game, I spend a lot of time in the Lesser Zone and before I left it, I had activated about 110-125 stashes.

[molten void]

this is with playing this save exclusively as my main game for the last several days

[molten void]

makes two of us, be it at this point I am wondering why the important ones are not being marked at least (Blueprint ones to clarify)

[wraith socket]

I'm just not getting hardly any new activations but I think it's because there are very few left to activate.

[molten void]

I would think similar, my issue with that is the fact i keep finding them

including ones with blueprints

such as earlier today finding at least three BP stashes

hmm

Think it has a list it goes up and down, picks a number to give and doesn't check if it already has been given?

so the more given, the more likely it rolls none effectively

[wraith socket]

It might be a bug. Did this start with the new 1.5.2 or 1.5.1?

[molten void]

1.5.2 no

1.5.1 I am unsure, I am thinking it may started prior

this save is at least a month old give or take at this point

time wise, it has 5 days & 18 hours (rounding up the minutes)

[wraith socket]

You are just 5 days into the game?

[molten void]

one moment

check the screens & vid

so the save says it has 5 days & 18 hours played

in terms of game time

it been my main game for a month, so makes sense

[wraith socket]

Are you getting activations the usual way, looting the dead?
Have you recently given a medkit to the wounded to get one?

[molten void]

1. No
2. I did not know that was a thing

for 1, I used to but it stopped working

[wraith socket]

I'm just not really sure. You are going so fast through your game,
yet you say that you have already cleared about 75-125 stashes.

I don't see any of the activations hidden in the clouds west and east of Pripyat in your screenshots.

[molten void]

I will be blunt

I have kept 0 track of the numbers of the ones I when through

my knowledge is I when from them all over the map displayed to just the ones I posted

and there was a bunch of them

in terms of every point of interest I have stumbled across, I also attempt to find any & all stashes possible, be it I keep finding more even now

[tribal portal]

250k to go for 1 000 000 achievement

[molten void]

nice

[wraith socket]

I don't know if this helps you, but this is my current game.
You can see I have not gone more than 1/3 or so, but I do
have a lot of stash activations that I have not emptied.

[wraith socket]

@worn oar Have you heard anyone else mention this?

[worn oar]

You do get more if you look hard enough, ofc unless you already got all stash coordinates you can get.
If I'm not mistaken, some stashes are unmarked, so those are mainly acquired through exploration.

Stash coordinates are also available in the stash region. So, it wouldn't matter if you kill NPCs in cordon and aim to get something off that region.

The hardest ones to find are late area stashes and one in the duga.

[wraith socket]

@worn oar You can see he's already been about everywhere.

[worn oar]

If he already grabbed what can be grabbed, the rest will be unmarked stashes.

Meaning, he'll need to find those on his own

[wraith socket]

@worn oar This is his estimate on how many he has already emptied.

[worn oar]

I personally Cleared most of what can be found except for one in duga and few blueprint stashes.

[tribal portal]

i have all the blueprints

🥀

[wraith socket]

My focus has been more on exploration and getting Faction bases to turn green, than emptying activated stashes.

[worn oar]

In addition to all what I mentioned, some stashes are purely related to lootable pdas

Especially the ones with puzzles

Meaning, you'll have to find the pda or note to be able to find the stash.

[wraith socket]

@molten void Did any of this information help you?

[molten void]

been trying exploring (and by the same process killing enemies/looting corpses) a bit everywhere, just I stopped gaining them, even when I was killing in the last area, I didn't get the blueprint stash locations

[molten void]

sorta, I am still just confused why a lot of the blueprint stashes wouldn't crop up

[wraith socket]

Either you got far enough in the game, where it's not going to activate for you anymore, or maybe some new bug with the new patch.

[zealous pumice]

This update:
made a door open that was closed
Fixed 2 crashes i guess 🤷‍♂️

[worthy zodiac]

Weird, I'm getting stash coordinates for stashes that are in the areas that I've never visited yet.

[worn oar]

Ig I was mistaken . I said I wasn't sure about that point since I didn't give much attention to it while playing. Tho, I mainly got stashes only within my region from what I noticed. So, I can't really be sure and what you said denies what I said so ig it's wrong for that reason.
