[haughty ravine]

We need the dlc already

Finished the game only with one ending

Too busy for others hahah

[summer stream]

Games often get released unfinished for reasons other than “corporate greed.” There are many factors that contribute to the state of a game at release. Shareholders, lack of funding, fanbase demands, deadlines being imposed by other entities or companies, external factors in the environment. Sometimes they have no other option but to release in the current state. It’s not about being a “corporate shill.” It’s about having a more comprehensive understanding of how things work in the world and not boiling things that upset you down to biased black and white opinions

[tacit oracle]

But why do that when your can act all hoity toity from your office chair

I mean think about it, you get the exact same, in the same span of time, but you can act like a complete dickwaffle while doing it

[lime yew]

In GSC defense, the devs are not the same from the previous games from my understanding. Hopefully the devs learn from their past mistakes on this game.

[tacit oracle]

the development of the game has been... jumpy to say the least

and part of it is due to gsc spinning their wheels in a number of issues, from the plot to the engine change to the tone of the game

However I am glad the game came out, I'm glad to have played it, and I hope either they or the modders end up smoothing things over. I think they've done a good job so far.

(also I think the original trilogy is painted on a much better light than it deserves when people make comparisons between it and 2)

the ogs were alright, but not the perfect untouchable masterpieces of technical prowess that some people paint them as

[terse bane]

Yes, are different teams.

Just there's two devs of the OGs, and both was hired on certain time of the development of HoC that wasn't too early.
One is the A-Life creator and the other is an artist that did cool concept arts for Oblivion Lost and Shadow of Chernobyl, that's all.

Tho, the devs team of Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat aren't the same of Oblivion Lost and Shadow of Chernobyl (sergey grigorovich "dismiss" several devs after the release of SoC too), there's more of one team for the OGs.

[lime yew]

With this launch im sure they learned from mistakes. Hopefully we get more stalker content in the near future

[terse bane]

I don't know, but i would think that GSC is fixing and put more content on the proper way, id say that this will be better than the "three years for an fixed Cyberpunk 2077".

[lime yew]

I didn't know it took 2 years to fix cyberpunk 2077

[terse bane]

three*, my fault.

[tacit oracle]

ehh "fix"

to reach a state where everyone who was jumping at the bit to call it "fixed" could do so with a minimal amount of self awareness

[terse bane]

GSC is making good things with the updates and soon with the DLCS/expansions, they have the personal and the capacities.

[tacit oracle]

I mean they are showing they have a good head on their shoulders

they've done a lot of groundwork, they're quietly reworking some behind the scenes stuff like alife, they're doing the engine port

[lime yew]

Can't ask more from a dev team.

[tacit oracle]

a lot of mostly ungrateful groundwork that isn't the shiny shiny you would do if you just wanted god PR, but that is important for the future of the game

though I won't lie, people losing their shit for borderline cosmetic additions will never stop being amusing, but I get it, players want a W

[lime yew]

I never cared for borderlands

[tacit oracle]

the fact that they're repackaging some cfg tweaks as these huge rebalances and stuff is... well ynow, you work with what ya got

[terse bane]

The devs of HoC are the ideal devs for HoC.

[zinc apex]

Understandable, I mean they have a war at home. But that's not what the anger of the customers is about. Not understandable is false advertising and not being honest about the state of the game. No one would've been mad if they just released real early access or if they said before that they have to release early and fix it asap

[zinc apex]

But we discussed this 1 trillion times on here already. So I'll stop it here ✌️

[flint cliff]

I have to say that the side missions are more unpredictable. For example, I had to eliminate a group of bandits just outside Rostok. My first attempt failed because, being in an open space, they always saw me as soon as I got close. My second attempt resulted in a dog chase and I led them towards the bandits, but all was lost during the shootout between me, the bandits, and the damned pseudo-dogs. My third attempt resulted in me being killed by a group of soldiers before I could get close to the bandits. My fourth attempt involved me hiding at a distance, waiting, the bandits and soldiers taking each other out, and I waited, only one bandit remained alive. A headshot with Vintar, mission accomplished, and 8,000 rubles in my pocket. Yes, I still call them rubles like in Shadow of Chernobyl.

Unfortunately, I have to say that I'm experiencing game crashes on Xbox. I don't know how you guys are doing on PC...
Could it be that some mods cause crashes?

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[analog helm]

moreover, the original A-Life creator who joined GSC in 2020 is not working on the game since Feb 2022, but fighting the war instead

[ripe thorn]

I agree to that, I recently replayed og trilogy and like....vaunted CoPs a-life is there, but you barely notice it since on master you're just running around doing your stuff not caring for anything, npcs in particular
In CS, don't even wanna talk about it, all those instances where cordon is getting overrun with literal hundreds of mutants from overspawning
Like ye, og trilogy is amazing for it's time and still holds up today pretty well, but in no way S2 is leagues inferior
Ppl have rose-tinted gamma glasses

Side questing in CoP is still 10/10 and I'd like more of those overarching long questchains that lead you to different locations in S2

[flint cliff]

I'm playing with the compass turned off. I have to say that the compass makes a lot of things easier, but it makes the experience less immersive. Do you all use the compass here?

[hazy helm]

how so? S2 is leages inferior by the mere fact that it doesn't achieve what it set out to do, which was A-Life 2.0
A-Life 2.0 was promised and Stalker 2 doesn't even have the tools for getting the basis of A-Life
it is pretty bad to settle for something that, isn't there at all

I won't deny that mods painted the vision of the original A-Life as being way better than it is, however, SOC keeps NPC permanancy in the world and simulates NPC Movement outside of loaded maps, thats an entire system above what S2 is, and is the basis of Alife

[surreal mortar]

I keep it on. It's a good substitute for missing senses that we have in real life, or for imperfect implementations of vision and hearing.

If removing it improves your experience, by all means, do it. I feel zero guilt for using it.

[flint cliff]

If there's one thing S2 surpasses the trilogy, it's that you have to be much more careful when wandering around the Zone than in the trilogy. Especially if you don't use a compass.

[hazy helm]

ehh, S2 will spawn mutants on top of you so it's not like you can avoid trouble if youre alert enuff

[flint cliff]

A true Stalker doesn't use a compass but relies only on himself, his suit, and his weapons...😁

[surreal mortar]

Whatever works for the 'true stalker'. 👍

[flint cliff]

Actually, no, a real Stalker goes around without an armored suit and using only the weapons he finds lying around without modifications.

[hazy helm]

a real stalker has one of these in his eyes

[flint cliff]

After all, using whatever weapons you find lying around without modifications was what happened in Shadow of Chernobyl. Right?

[hazy helm]

SOC didnt have upgrades or mechanics, you couldnt upgrade weapons or restore them, youd buy new weapons or use whatever you got, usually just buy or find at stashes or secret spots

[flint cliff]

Indeed, a true Stalker makes do with whatever he finds around.

[ripe thorn]

After playing S2 and coming back to trilogy, I noticed how....empty everything is in OGs
Like, the houses are empty boxes with like, 1 desk, the labs are mostly empty corridors and such
They did an amazing job making S2 zone feeling lived-in by actual ppl
Still miss some things from OGs like stalkers asking you to lower your gun or having more dialog in general

Not to mention new sexy gunplay and how gorgeous everything is, but that's obvious

[hazy helm]

youre not going to get much more dialogue, since people are dumb and require VAs for every game nowadays

[main frigate]

Soooo.... 1.6 tommorow? 👀 🧐

[surreal mortar]

Maybe today

I am optimistic (without anything to back it up)

[deft glade]

Hi, in Clear Sky Enhanced Edition can I upgrade the exoskeleton to enable running without mods?

[fathom cedar]

I’ve seen people argue EE is fixed

Even though all things people complained about are still here

But you do a couple updates that don’t address any of its core issues and boom people are talking redemption arc

[ripe patrol]

You could ask in #⭐┃trilogy-general

[sharp minnow]

I would like to know more information about the engine update 🙂

[hazy helm]

its not going to be in 1.6 and it will be updated to 5.5.4

[sharp minnow]

Well, I know it won't be in 1.6, but is the fact that they're updating to 5.5.4 final or is it possible it will be 5.6+?

I would like a chance at 5.6+

[hazy helm]

the fact that it may be 5.6 was only a possibility but considering that 5.6 is still at its experimental stages I wouldn't count on it

[sharp minnow]

But if 5.5.4 fixes the memory leaks then I'll be happy as a rock

Because these drops of 5-10 fps are terrible

on rtx 3070

[gray ore]

I don't get it about the loot stash trailer, what do we have to see ? The loot is pretty basic lol

[sharp minnow]

I will of course upgrade to a 5070ti in the future but that doesn't change the fact that the optimization for RTX 3000 is terrible right now

[sharp minnow]

But that's all, I think we'll see something more interesting on Master difficulty.

[gray ore]

Mmmmh, I tought they would add more items to loot or more sidegarde part to loot but nothing to see on the trailer

[sharp minnow]

Well, maybe they'll add something, it's not clear yet.

[wise geyser]

#📜┃gsc-answers message

[flint cliff]

Hey Stalkers when update 1.6? Tomorrow?

[sharp minnow]

maybe yes maybe no i dont think i dont know

[ripe thorn]

Hopefully not today since I'm rushing to complete playthrough on 1.5 so I can start fresh on 1.6

[zinc apex]

Only true stalkers know

[fast stratus]

which one is worse. living in fallout or stalker

[stiff pasture]

Fallout what. The world ended

STALKER is just hell in the Zone.

[fast stratus]

imagine a situation that you cant get out of the zone

but i think people are more civilised there

[stiff pasture]

Still fallout

Just stick close to like, Zalissya or rookie village

[fast stratus]

yep

i wish zone was real. better than normal world

[terse bane]

Shiny Zone

[fiery jungle]

Do we know if nvg are coming in 1.6?

[long aspen]

Depending on your playthrough, I still think Fallout is worse. But if you were to ask between roadside picnic and fallout, roadside picnic has it worse.

[fast stratus]

Not everyone is forced to go to the zone in roadside picnic. But in fallout the world is destroyed

[long aspen]

I was referring to the world of the different IP's. There is radiation everywhere with fallout. Roadside picnic keeps people out of the four zones, but they have undead, government caused natural disaster from relocating people. Where you close to the zones at inception, don't have kids. The place is a mess. Fallout, join a raider group. You will be fine.

[ripe thorn]

Until you meet stronger a gang or die from dirty irradiated water

Or just be shot for memes, or sent to assault a gunline with machete

[ripe thorn]

In Stalker nobody except monolitians and the most braindead bandits will shot you on sight, rob you - yes, but you still can walk out with your life
And also just leave the zone

[tacit oracle]

I mean in stalker there's a world to go back to

In fallout is strongly implied everything's been nuked

(despite Bethesda's best efforts to turn it into fortnite with every passing installment)

[opal torrent]

Yeah, stalker is not a post apocalyptic setting because there was no world ending event. You can just go out the Zone and chill, especially if you make it big in there and get out some artifacts.

Fallout? World is nuked, Europe nuked Middle East in war for resources, China and USA nuked themselves and I think Europe and Russia nuked themselves. There is no safe place anymore.

Fallout is 100x worse.

Then there is Metro Universe which is worst of them all. In Fallout at least you get fun stuff like Power Armor, proper factions and countries like NCR that actually want to rebuild and can do it. In Metro? Its just slow and sure death of those who try to cling to life.

[robust kestrel]

We do

[twin pulsar]

what is the state of a-life in 1.5?

[thorny ivy]

Can we use our old saves, or do we have to start a new save?

Old saves are usable

[short oak]

Hey friends,does anybody knows if the update is coming this week?

[thick wolf]

It's been pushed to next week

[surreal mortar]

Probably for the best. I am expecting it early next week though. 😁

[short oak]

Aah,ok!

[short oak]

True!its best to have a well optmized update than a bad one. Haha

[surreal mortar]

Things can still go wrong, but at least there will be a relatively decent way to address them, with less dissatisfaction from the customer side (which is entirely made up of stalkers 👀).

1.6 release confirmed 23rd by mol1t according to gamewithdave: https://youtu.be/xYM12NCU6Fw?si=EK6tz8BWoB43nx2r

Take anything from this guy with a grain of salt, but if he says mol1t contacted him directly then i guess it's pretty safe to say it's confirmed

[frank vector]

hello all, does anyone know of a mod that allows longer distance spawn rates for NPC's?

[tacit oracle]

Online alife boundary is 100m right now and can't be changed

Game spawns enemies about 2km around you, but you won't see them until they're closer than that

(with certain exceptions)

I would advise against mods since we're getting a major update in 5 days and because they're acting a bit wonky right now, but if you were to install an alife mod I'd recommend Shay's living zone complete

[ripe thorn]

Eh, mercs are 50/50

[unreal fjord]

Am I reading correctly that STALKER 2 added DLSS

[surreal mortar]

You are not. DLSS was added for the enhanced editions. I think STALKER 2 always had DLSS support.

[tacit oracle]

Yeah it's always had dlss

What

At least with the latest driver update I'm getting pretty solid 60 at 2k with a 5060ti anywhere outside of hubs with dlss quality and mostly "high" graphics

Works pretty well for me

[little halo]

Has performance in console gotten better?

[magic coyote]

yep

[surreal mortar]

Make sure latest DLSS version is used for best results. IIRC you need to set it via the NVIDIA app to use latest. At least, that's how it used to be when DLSS 4 was just released.

[teal portal]

this new upgrade is crazy that you have to buy deluxe version and ultimate too to get ultimate so why i just cant buy only the ultimate which contains all

[tacit oracle]

You can buy ultimate and upgrade to ultimate from any other edition, wym?

[tacit oracle]

Are you talking steam?

[teal portal]

yes

standard to ultimate bundle is deluxe and ultimate together

[magic coyote]

Honestly, it doesn't even make sense to improve the version because most of the things it adds haven't even been released yet.

[tacit oracle]

Yeah cause ultimate includes deluxe

[teal portal]

yes so why i need to buy deluxe too

[magic coyote]

uuuuu

[tacit oracle]

... Cause ultimate includes deluxe

[teal portal]

it feels like a scam to me

or if i buy ultimate which i can i dont know what will happen

[tacit oracle]

... If ultimate essentially included both options, people upgrading to ultimate from deluxe would have duplicate items...

[hazy helm]

people were asking for a way to upgrade bundles for the few songs and the stashes, it's pretty useless but for the few that wanted it, it's there not very well implemented tho

[teal portal]

yeah

[magic coyote]

And well, Unreal games tend to have problems with DLSS, especially in terms of rescaling quality, since the base to which it is applied often has many graphics issues, noise, etc.

[hazy helm]

the issue is taht it is implemented, at all, it needs to be cut

[tacit oracle]

Is this your first time upgrading an edition?

[magic coyote]

Is it really that bad?

[hazy helm]

to be completely fair, most other games let you instantly upgrade to any edition as opposed to needing you to do progressive updates

[teal portal]

prices are fair but not in a bundle

[magic coyote]

But how are they performing?

[teal portal]

also did they fixed the outpost 5fps thing?

stable 70-80fps safehouse cities or outposts where are many npcs 5fps

[magic coyote]

Try playing the OpenXRay mod. It's literally the true motor remaster of the game made by the community, without FSR or DLSS, reaching 400 fps without blurry vision and GSC crap.

[tacit oracle]

The cpu bottlenecking on hubs is still a thing. Engine update towards the end of the year should help with that

I'm not getting 5fps but my 5600x will go down to 30 on zalissya and rostok

[teal portal]

hope it helps i put aside the game until this fixed

i cant trade and gear up for adventures like this

[hazy helm]

you'd probably get better perf using OXR or IXR tbh

[tacit oracle]

I think it's better than at launch but yeah the bottlenecking is still very real

[magic coyote]

Stability has really improved, but I've tested the two versions with benchmarks and the performance is practically the same.

In open areas, you get better performance, but when it comes down to it, in populated areas, the AI improvements are probably what eat up all the performance gains from the updates.

Right now, GSC is playing a game of adding performance and removing it with improvements. We'll see what happens in the engine update.

[hazy helm]

OXR has had a COP stable branch for years, and I hear the CS Branch is actually usable nowadays to actually play the game

[magic coyote]

OpenXRay is goood

[coarse sparrow]

Dear devs, I would be more inclined to buy your "ultimate upgrade" if you actually gave exact quarters of when the DLC is coming, without it, its just a waste of money to me

[fiery jungle]

what will the dlc be about?

[tacit oracle]

imagine paying for content that is still not out

[magic coyote]

We've been doing that for almost a year.

[clever finch]

is it possible to get the ||m860 cracker with a mag thats in nestors stash on the crane at slag heap||

before doing the mission or whatever

[unreal raptor]

This man speaks the truth

[long aspen]

As some who pre ordered the ultimate edition... The fact that the ps5 ultimate edition gets stuff I don't get got me fuming.

[coarse sparrow]

buy PS5 => buy S2 there

as Randy P says, if you are a true fan, you will buy

[long aspen]

Yeah... Don't get me started on Randy.

[clever finch]

hes the ceo of the studio that makes borderlands right?

[coarse sparrow]

he the ceo of the studio that made hl1: op force

[clever finch]

never heard of that lol

[coarse sparrow]

guess you are not that old then

[clever finch]

ur right😉

[tacit oracle]

he's the ceo of the studio that made aliens colonial marines

it was a seven seven and a half

[long aspen]

Opposing force was a mod turned into a expansion (called add-on back in the day) for half life. Randy then tells a story about how Steam and Gabb £u€ked him and nicked his ip and now the borderlands fans have to pay for it.

[clever finch]

is it possible to get out of pripyat if u manage to glitch there early?

[long aspen]

Try the guide. He should be able to take you to the other towns.

[clever finch]

im on my 2nd playthrough so I forgot where the guide is

[long aspen]

North west.

The place has a peak dog $hit name so I refuse to commit it to memory.

Will google it. Stand by.

The enerhetyk palace of culture.

[clever finch]

I see which one ur talking abt

btw is there someone that gives you missions like those guys in zalissya and slag heap

Can you use the guide? I have only ever got into pripyat through the story.

[long aspen]

Not that I know of.

[clever finch]

I honestly dont know, I havent glitched into pripyat yet

I only went to pripyat when the story told me to lol

[coarse sparrow]

there are no side missions there

[clever finch]

ah ok, I cant remember, is there a suppressor for the svdm?

[coarse sparrow]

dont remember, played on release

[clever finch]

damn, havent played since?

[coarse sparrow]

well I completed the game when it was 1.1

waiting for the game to get content and patches now

also better mods

[clever finch]

thats when I started playing lol

[clever finch]

we have gotten a bit of content and many bug and performance fixes

[coarse sparrow]

not that much content

for me to reinstall 150 gigas

with 1.6 or engine upgrade patch I will give it a spin

[clever finch]

wym with engine upgrade? like a newer version of UE5?

[coarse sparrow]

newer ue5

[clever finch]

I wish they didnt use ue5 because its a shit engine except graphics

the graphics in this game are almost on cyberpunk level

[coarse sparrow]

they are good until you start looking at interiors

interiors are not so good, exteriors and nature are pretty

[clever finch]

I was pretty amazed at how many buildings are enterable my first time playing this game

wait it seems like they actually added a suppressor for the svdm and svu

[long aspen]

Train car by the shocking place when you leave yaniv station for pripyat. By the environment suit. Suppressor for svu 2 and 3.

[surreal mortar]

Reactions probably mattered. And maybe it wasn't a big or concerning change to make.

That's my take on it, anyway (I assume it's the pseudogiant stomp thing)

[elder beacon]

Are the devs going to add sight cross compatibility

Becauss it makes sense for all picky tinne's style optics to be compatible on whatever gun has that mountin system

Maybe, but those are really strong rifles. I can't remember off the top of my head, but don't both rifles have the option to upgrade so that lower quality ammo can also be used?

[clever finch]

possibly

[surreal mortar]

If you haven't played in a while, give it a try. It's quite decent. I've recently finished a Veteran playthrough, and both those rifles served me well. And ammo or ammo costs weren't really a problem (Malachite mutant part missions can significantly help with any monetary issues)

do u do those mutant part missions by that female trader or is it someone else? btw do u know to remove the sight on the three line rifle and get iron sights?

Likely because it contains elements of the story (it is not just a mechanical tutorial). However, I suppose a toggle with a disclaimer might be a welcome option, even if the player can only use that toggle after having completed that tutorial once. 🤔

[finite dragon]

likely because everything is broken beyond repair and regular features were omitted, see binocs and NV

Yo! anyone knows what optics can go on the Night Stalker? Have a few in my inventory but nothing fits so far

[empty echo]

the lil red dot, one that goes on the ram, apsb and 3 line rifle

[elder beacon]

Thats would be ideal

[keen hedge]

You mean open collimator or red dot? cause I have both and the rail mount upgrade but neither work

[empty echo]

there's 3 red dots and one of them works, it's the smallest looking one that fits

[keen hedge]

So a quick google revealed that there are collimator and OPEN collimator sights and I only have one in inventory. Guess the third one will be the winner. Thanks!

[empty echo]

there ya go

[elder beacon]

The mosin should be sold separately from the pu scope

Or together for a higher price

[hazy helm]

I want a return to the old MP

[fickle snow]

Are attachments hard to get?

[hazy helm]

yeah

[fickle snow]

Thought so, I’ve only got the red dot

[surreal mortar]

That might change a bit with 1.6.

[compact belfry]

is stalker 2 still gonna get optimized more

[hallow lichen]

Will stalker 2 ever be "finished"? I don't want to get the game until they stop releasing content updates like they currentrly do

[compact belfry]

i got the same question

i played it for a bit but the game just doesnt feel good

[hallow lichen]

I don't want to get it until I know there won't be any new big update adding side quests and stuff, its a pain to manually update games

[stiff pasture]

See you in a few years then, we’ve still got two whole DLC coming. Not counting any cut content they decide to release.

[hallow lichen]

bruh

i dont want to play the game and have to replay it because they add new main missions or something

[white ruin]

bout to install stalker 2 on pc (no its not part of trilogy its standalone, i have the trilogy but on ps4)

150gb idc steam can suck my farts

[hallow lichen]

man, what happened? optimisation used to be top priority, from file size to running the game

150gb is insane

[white ruin]

give me a min or two and ill give you exact ps4 install size for stalker 2

[nimble cipher]

bloodthorn1990 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[white ruin]

shut up bot i was stating install size

stalker 2 shadows of chornobyl on my ps4 pro has an install size of: 8.69 gb

wait im

yeah im stoned ignore everything i said i gotta look up again i got a game confused

like a typical american i have no idea what i'm talking about XD

sorry i like to drink alot of beer 🙁

No particular reason, they just want to make it miserable for everyone

[clever finch]

Are we supposed to get 1.6 very soon?

[clever finch]

Wait the game hasnt released for ps5 yet?

[stiff pasture]

1.6 this week and no, not til November

[sinful crane]

It's supposed to come out on the 23

[lunar berry]

What we saying guys leave stalker 2 for abit longer

And start playing gamma?

[pastel roost]

G'day gents, just popping in as per usual to see what the go is with A-Life. How's it working these days or should I wait?

[robust kestrel]

Wait for 2.0. We at 1.6 now. See you later.

[pastel roost]

Lovely, thanks! Hooroo!

[wraith socket]

It's working great. You're missing a good time in the Zone.

[drifting niche]

When will the SDK update be released?

[pastel roost]

I'm sure it's much better but I don't mind waiting, I'd rather get a good experience instead of the one I had on day 1 lmao

[wraith socket]

There's been a lot of patches in the past 10 months.

[summer stream]

The game is good. Just play it, and then revisit it again later with new content. More bang for your buck anyway. Wouldn’t you want to get multiple play throughs with your money?

[summer stream]

Technology happened. And players expectations for more features, graphical fidelity, performance, complexity, and freedom happened. Technology improves every year, but players expectations exceed it with every release. Games are far more complicated to develop now than they were 10 years ago

[hallow lichen]

I don’t replay story games that much because once I’ve found the best way to play I don’t deviate from that

I know which five artefacts are best, I won’t use any new ones, which guns are best etc

[hallow lichen]

Yeah, but games tens years ago used to pack everything they had much more efficiently, the increase in storage space has led to lazy devs

[summer stream]

It’s a single player game. Min/maxing doesn’t really matter. Just enjoy the experience. Or play how you want, I dunno. The game is plenty fun though. If you keep trying to wait for every update, you’re never going to actually play it

[hallow lichen]

At some point they declare a game done right? They stop adding new content and just release bug patches every now and again

[summer stream]

I think you’re overthinking it mate. If you’re interested in the game, just play it

[summer stream]

Nostalgia will do that to you

[hallow lichen]

Bro I remember well when games could more efficiently store things, call of duty was caught having two asset files for single and multiplayer despite being the same gun, its small stuff like that that shows how devs have stopped caring about how best to compress what they have

[summer stream]

I dunno man. Play it or don’t. I guess you could email the devs and ask them if they care about their game or if they’re just greedy and lazy

[hallow lichen]

I just remember when games shipped completed, and the only updates were the occasional update to fix a bug

[thick cosmos]

Hey guys should I sell my opticians gas mask? I’m early game i js finished lost boys

[surreal mortar]

You can probably earn the (extra) money you need by repeatedly doing bartender missions (with the added benefit of turning the merchants and techs green, so that you get better prices). I just hoarded the armor and helmets I got that I didn't necessarily need, never feeling like I had to sell them.

[left pagoda]

Devs are tend to please the publishers. They give them a product to sell by deadline the publisher told them to release a game, this happens to a lot of games nowadays, who cares about this and that, when you can add this in the next year, or sell as dlc, just release it now so we can get billions of money from preorders and people who won’t wait several days for reviews

I’m also tired that I need to wait 6-12 months for updates so the new fully released game could be played somehow normally, when I already payed the full price for it

[compact belfry]

not but seriouslty

im wondering if i should refund it, but i also dont wanna since i really like the stalker games

and when will the next update come

[tacit oracle]

tomorrow, as far as we know

[compact belfry]

you werent kidding

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[tacit oracle]

I wasn't?!

[hallow lichen]

We can always hope for the good old days to return, when optimisation was important and the game was released done

For example: the fog in silent hill was to hide that they couldn’t render all the buildings properly, a clever way to improve performance, yet in the remake they load all the buildings yet keep the fog, tanking performance. Devs have just changed

[tacit oracle]

not to "improve performance" but to hide the godawful culling that the psx forced upon them

that's kinda pretty much the one game that has ever taken advantage from that generation's technical shortcomings

also idk if aggressive culling is what 2 remake needs, considering the constant asset loading stutters

engines have changed, not just devs

[long aspen]

Refund it and buy it on a 90% sale on steam in like 2 years with all the dlc's.

[short oak]

hey friends,any chance on the update coming today or tomorrow?

[surreal mortar]

As far as we know we're on track for 1.6 releasing tomorrow.

[short oak]

Aah,ok! Cant wait! I hope that they improved the ragdolls and death animations on this one!

[white ruin]

time to get the shit scared out of me, i just started a playthrough

[storm kernel]

don't refund, S2 is objective peak

[fading kiln]

Are they releaseing the update or telling us it will have night vision for the 6th time

[glass wave]

is it out or just a teaser?

[muted night]

does the new NV use raytracing? would be really cool to see how NV looks with raytracing. (Night Vision).
basically just used NV the whole time while playing the first three games 😛

[ripe thorn]

They are telling that you'll aim differently while using nvgs

[magic coyote]

the 6th time thing

Let's see, they delayed the update and want people to stay tuned

[unreal fjord]

1.6 is out??

[magic coyote]

nooooo

People, you have a channel called GSC answers, stop asking the same thing all the time.

(we decided to move it for the next week, will keep you updated.)

[fading kiln]

An update being delayed seems like something that should be idk announced

[zenith creek]

Lumen is ray tracing but the engine they're using does not support hardware acceleration. We'll have to wait for the engine update to get that, and there's no timeline as far as I know.

[muted night]

thank you very much for the answer

[surreal mortar]

The only date that was announced for 1.6, IIRC, was September 23rd, ie tomorrow.

Get Wolf'd

[molten leaf]

hold on

stalker 2 didnt have nvgs already?

[flint cliff]

But is update 1.6 out? It's not on Xbox.

[analog helm]

not out yet

[summer stream]

The update never had a release date to begin with. People just run with speculation and rumors then get mad when it doesn’t release. And they did announce a delay on here

[wise geyser]

Molit said it’s aimed for the 23d

It’s not people making up a date out of the blue

[sinful crane]

Is there a chance we can see the update tonight in some timezones?

[clever cedar]

oh my god it this guy! i love this guy

[summer stream]

Key word there would be “aiming”

[surreal mortar]

We're still on track though as far as I know. Tomorrow at end of work day for Eastern Europe we should be livin' it up on 1.6.

[wise geyser]

That wasn’t the point

The whole point was when you said people were making rumors and speculating

Molit saying they are aiming for a date regardless gives people warrant to expect a possible release they didn’t just all collectively say oh yeah it’s coming the 23d out of nowhere and make up a date

My whole point was essentially that it wasn’t rumor and speculation

[summer stream]

Brother, the patch is coming out tomorrow. I don’t know what you want from me. They never said a solid date, and they mentioned there would be a delay by a week. It’s all going be ok

This is exactly why they don’t give concrete information on patch releases

[wise geyser]

???? Who the f bro you are missing what I’m saying

All am saying is when you said people just run with speculation and rumor I pointed out how that in this case it is neither

No one is alluding or even saying whatever you are thinking in your head

[wise geyser]

.

Molit said they were aiming for the 23 and as I said that gives people warrant to expect a possible release that’s not them making rumors or speculating that was my point nothing else

In reference to you saying that’s all people do when in THIS case that’s not the truth

[wise geyser]

No one is arguing whatever the f you said here

[summer stream]

Ok dude

[thick wolf]

So we all agree then

[thick wolf]

He's here every day. Nice guy

Ranjid is possibly the best server member

I hope he got a new van

[celest blaze]

Im finally gonna reinstall once 1.6 drops

[wise geyser]

Fire

[dense jackal]

That was a weird argument

[unreal raptor]

praying for 1.6 to be a half decent redeemer patch.

[wise geyser]

Based off everything they shared and we know it definitely is another huge step in the right direction I’m more interested at this point honestly to see what the smaller changes and qol changes are gonna be that are likely littered in between all the big changes we know about

[rapid warren]

Lego batman droppping fire statments

Give that man a ,,true"

[worthy zodiac]

I wonder if they are preparing something big on the background to make some kind of "2.0" update. Because this game really needs something like that, tbh
(The restoration of cut content, optimization, A-Life overhaul, etc. – everything could be a part of a bigger update)

Doubt it but it would be kinda cool if they are preparing something like that. Otherwise I don't think that they will be able to transform this game into a "classic" that will be remembered for many years...

[nimble saddle]

Whats this new weapon 'Honta's Drahunka'?

[tiny token]

What does the morse code mean?

[tiny token]

just speculating but drahunka kinda sounds like dragunov

especially since in ukrainian the dragunov would be spelled drahunov

[sullen vessel]

Seems like the game will officially come out of early access pretty soon

Not having night vision goggles at launch was ridiculous but thank god they have fixed it

[nimble saddle]

When will we get the special double barrel, there is a cut version that exists (you can spawn it)

[glass wave]

Did they add stealth system? Like a stealth takedown with knife?

[placid spoke]

Ward still on top

[hollow pelican]

how is patch 1.6 ? i havent downloaded it yet

[glass wave]

There is a nightvision clip which shows stealth takedown.

[gritty orchid]

That was always in the game

[glass wave]

I haven’t played for some months but last time I couldn’t stealth kill

Am I tweaking? Maybe I am I don’t know

[nimble saddle]

Yall got nothing on the miraculous crystal given by stars ✨ 🙏

[hazy helm]

youre just not a bright bulb

[flint cliff]

Update 1.6 is out, finally you won't lose your sight at night now that the night vision device is available. But the thing that interested me was whether they fixed Hera's secondary missions which are now still blocked and since I can no longer go back...

[hot canopy]

Who is gonna decode that morse code in the trailer?

[zinc apex]

Hmmm... cool update but tbh, it won't get me reinstall the game yet. Had a lot of fun with 1.5,but 1.6 touches too few fundamental flaws imo

[zinc apex]

My guess is as soon they drop the engine update, they'll also increase render distance of npc with that and add real a-life afterwards

[sly flint]

Guys the update is out right?

I can download the game again?

[hazy helm]

wait a bit more

[sly flint]

ok thankyou!

[tiny token]

I'm trying and failing spectacularly lol

[empty gorge]

FOR USERS OF MY MODs, I HAVE POSTED A PSA IN REGARDS OF 1.6 IN MY MOD POST LOCATED HERE:
#1387423121983799388 message

[eager cairn]

Waiting for performance improvement or notfeedbacks from you guys I will can only on the weekend

[hot canopy]

Yea, I'm pulling garbled nonsense out of it.

[dusk prairie]

Hey guys, how to change the aiming mode? Alt does nothing both in scope and without it :/

[hazy helm]

you need NVG

[glass wave]

Rude

[keen bone]

whaddya mean cut content? You say that like this is New Vegas or KOTOR 2... As far as I'm aware there isn't tons of cut content. And the stuff that was cut I imagine will be coming out in the DLCs. Main problems are just bugs/optimization which GSC has been working on non-stop since release

[simple brook]

How is the performance of the game on a 4060ti 16gb?

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/final-fantasy-vii-remake-cloud-strife-tifa-lockhart-aerith-gainsborough-cloti-gif-27060423

[keen bone]

I think people obsess waaaay too hard about cut content like it'll make it a completely different game. Even with NV the devs said "cut content was maybe about 5-10%, we included nearly everything we wanted"

cut content typically just becomes DLC

[tiny token]

so apparently it's a mosin

[hazy helm]

for Stalker2? yhea it will make it a completely different experience

[tiny token]

there's like 80 cut quests

[hazy helm]

basically the north of the zone in S2 was cut for content bro

if that aint massive I dont know what is

[keen bone]

ooo interesting

[hazy helm]

its true that for some games, yhea, cut content may be small or insignificant but not S2

[keen bone]

when you say 80 cut quests are there like hella code remanents

[empty gorge]

gsc cut harder than thanos with the snap

[tiny token]

i hope that one future patch will focus mostly on bringing back cut quests

because iirc a lot of them were reaching near completion

[keen bone]

maybe after optimization, A-Life and the promised DLC/multiplayer

so give em another 2 years lol

[hot canopy]

I wonder if it is worth restarting for this update

[ripe patrol]

GSC cut a lot yes, not just quests but mechanics and you can kinda find the left overs all around

[keen bone]

nah

seems like the update will make night time encounters more interetsing but idk if its worth replaying the whole game for that, you're still just shooting dudes hardly anything fundamentally different

[hot canopy]

Yea, I suppose. I just wonder if there is any nice sense of progression regarding NVGs and such.

Like in the beginning night is tough and scary because it is hard to see, but you get those first NVGs and it's such an improvement, but then you get better ones. Does that make sense?

Still, probably not worth restarting until they really shake things up. Probably 2.0 lol

[tiny token]

There most likely is

There's NVG progression

[keen bone]

yeah but I reckon that's still just enhancement rather than fundamental improvement. I'd say wait for 1.7/1.8/1.9. I'm hoping now that GSC have confirmed they're looking into an engine upgrade they'll be coming A-Life improvements with optimization for the PS5 launch, then it'll feel massively different. I imagine they'll keep tweaking the gameplay too like the way they rebalanced the stashes

[hot canopy]

Yea, that sounds about right. Hopefully that engine upgrade makes a nice difference in optimization. The game plays fine at 1440p with my 3080, but it could always be better.

I wonder what the stash rebalance will do for difficulty. With less items out in the world to pick up, perhaps the days of 20 bandages and sausages are gone?

[clever finch]

did we get the update? I got a 24gb update it seems but there isnt any notes lol

[keen bone]

I hope so. I'm gonna wait a bit more before I try it again. Played about 8hrs via Game Pass after 1.5, even then I kept coming across issues to the extent I thought it feels like early access and I've never felt that about a game before. Like, even if you take away the bugs and performance, stealth was practically broken, AI inconsistent, unrewarding stashes, some mutants annoying others not... it felt very not ready yet

[keen bone]

ya 1.6 dropped check steam news

[clever finch]

there aint nothing showing up there for me

[keen bone]

check announcements

in here discord

[clever finch]

will do

wait we got night vision now???

[empty gorge]

[fickle apex]

Is the hardcoded Numpad fixed? Support told me they would but its nowhere in the Patch Notes.

[glass wave]

Came out today

[hot canopy]

Have there been any mods that make the game harder?

[clever finch]

harder in what way?

[hot canopy]

Maybe more resource scarcity, more lethal combat? Like, the game can be fairly tough on the hardest difficulty but I feel like I want just a little bit more you know?

[clever finch]

took a quick look on the workshop and I couldnt find any new ones, u could check more precisely if u want

[worthy zodiac]

I bet that at least some of the content from the leaked build was planned to be released in original game without dlcs. Can't say for sure tho, obviously, nobody can. Time will tell what they've got for us in the final version of the game

[clever finch]

im not sure what I think about npcs being able to loot mutants now, I hope they add an option to turn that off

[pearl sedge]

Is new update 1.6 based on unreal engine 5.5 ?

[hazy helm]

no

[tacit oracle]

No

[ocean shadow]

I would be surprised if we see an engine upgrade this year at this point, its October next week

[tacit oracle]

The engine update will be later. Best case scenario, end of November.

... To coincide with the launch of the ps5 version which, based on looks, could be running on 5.5

[hazy helm]

novemeber supposedly

[ocean shadow]

Oh ok, I haven't been following very closely

[tacit oracle]

This is all speculation mind you, we have no official news, just a very good looking ps5 showcase

[ocean shadow]

I kind of stopped playing within a month of release lol

[empty gorge]

its 5.1

[fickle apex]

If anyone is playing rn, would be cool if he could aim down his sights and test if numpad 1/2/3/5 still move the cam in ADS

[magic coyote]

Didn't they announce 5.4?

[ripe patrol]

5.5.4

[magic coyote]

Nice

[empty gorge]

---

PSA IF U ARE USING UE4SS (UETOOLS DOESN'T WORK ANYWAY) AND YOU ARE EXPERIENCING CRASHES
1. go to: Stalker2\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss
2. open UE4SS-settings
3. Change this line to a 0: HookInitGameState = 1
4. save and close

[tiny token]

Based on looks, 5.5?

So you're saying they already have a somewhat playable build of stalker 2 on 5.5?

[tiny token]

5.5.4 and also said that if it's feasible they'll jump straight to 5.6

[stiff pasture]

They wouldn’t have even uttered the idea publicly if they weren’t already doing in house testing, I imagine

[magic coyote]

No, but advanced for sure.

[tiny token]

That's reassuring

I'd honestly be surprised if they manage to update the engine by the time of the ps5 release

I expect the engine update to be early next year

[magic coyote]

In reality, changing the engine can bring about very interesting developments, such as improvements in multithreading capabilities with AI, improving CPU performance, and enabling more complex modifications to be made to the behavior of artificial intelligence.

Now you know how many bugs and errors there will be? Even if it's playable to a certain extent, I'm sure they won't release it until it's at least stable.

[spark kettle]

I am just happy they added official NVGs and I don't have to go around announcing my position everywhere with a flashlight anymore. Also with the absurd amount of military gear on the Zone it makes a lot of sense they are there.

[lethal void]

Anyone with AMD cards have problems with crashing during autosaves? when my game starts saving i crash and Adrenaline bug report tool pops up

[tiny token]

I assume with the engine update they'll receive a considerable boost to performance, and they will use a lot of that overhead for scaling up a-life and the online bubble

Also I just realized theres no new weathers with this update

[tough vessel]

my game crashes when i load a saved file (no mods) and i'm using an nvidia

[tiny token]

I'm pretty sure they added heavy fog in 1.5 but only as a console command variable

Would love for them to implement it

[drifting niche]

Can we create new quests themselves when phase 2 sdk is out?

[lethal void]

yeah i started a new save too for this update

[tough vessel]

started a new save, while it launched it crashed as well

[lethal void]

I guess i should just wait for 2.0

[tough vessel]

i see the update patches with just text_text_text in the lower right side

[magic coyote]

That depends on them, not on the engine. They can actually improve performance even without the update.

lumen hardware ejem....

[tacit oracle]

Yes

[ripe patrol]

this is false, ps5 version was not running on 5.5

[tacit oracle]

I mean you be the judge, find the ps5 reveal video and decide whether that could be 5.5 or not

[magic coyote]

The engine change will not be noticeable at first glance.

[tacit oracle]

it could be just very fluffed up footage but it could be ue5.5

[magic coyote]

on what you rely 😂

[ripe patrol]

Confirmed to us by devs it isn't

[magic coyote]

It couldn't be like half of the fake trailers in the engine.

[ripe patrol]

ps5 runs UE5 games a bit better. You can look into how BL4 is shitting itself on consoles but not so much on PS5

[boreal mountain]

This update looks promising, I’ll ask In about a week if the game is finally playable

[tacit oracle]

of course, waah bichkhail's expert whining will be taken into consideration

[ripe patrol]

could be that. I never saw much difference besides maybe looking a bit more "doctored"

[magic coyote]

Ask a few months after the engine update

[main frigate]

I'm waiting too. Most of the mods and modpack are broken at the moment so we need to wait

[tacit oracle]

where did they confirm it?

[boreal mountain]

Why is every game coming out needed a engine overhaul/replacement

[tacit oracle]

can you please link it?

[main frigate]

Really waiting for Rusted Dawn

[magic coyote]

because they developed the game on an engine that is crap if you don't update it

[tacit oracle]

because ue5.1 runs like profound ass

[boreal mountain]

Still waiting for TDUSC to update theirs

[main frigate]

He's a tester so propably they got some answers in their closed channel

[magic coyote]

imagine a graphics engine that in version 5.0 is unable to handle complex AI and large amounts of data without overloading the CPU, but in version 5.4 it can handle it

[boreal mountain]

Ah so it really is just an update

[magic coyote]

yeap

They decided to use Unreal Engine to save time, and now they're wasting it because of their own fault.

[boreal mountain]

I thought they were rewriting the engine like some games are doing now

[tacit oracle]

they will be updating the game to 5.5.4

[magic coyote]

It's not entirely the same, but it's a similar job. It's difficult to update.

[ripe patrol]

[magic coyote]

Yes, but 5.4 was the biggest change; the other versions didn't fix anything major.

[main frigate]

Especially that GSC has modified the engine by themslef to fit their needs

So they have additional work to make while transfer

[magic coyote]

they haven't changed it that much.

[ripe patrol]

in our private test channel. idk if @glossy blade wants to chime in about the PS5 gameplay footage.

Rumor needs to put to rest

[tacit oracle]

you already said the devs have confirmed the ps5 version is not in 5.5 apparently, if you were concerned about any NDA you'd have already stopped there

[magic coyote]

It's not like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 1/2, which has a 3.6 version of the Cry Engine. Stalker is based on a fairly flat version of Unreal

[ripe patrol]

I could be wrong but i know whaat i heard

[tacit oracle]

so the devs haven't confirmed shit to you, got it

[glossy blade]

I can say that we weren't using engine-upgrade for promo-videos, we are still working on it, and we didn't want to take the most crucial development team resources to create promo-videos

[ripe patrol]

There. Thanks Mol1t

[tacit oracle]

okay, thank you

[glass wave]

Are there any mods you recommend? Immersive preferably

[magic coyote]

What I like about modding in Stalker 2 is that, finally, people have stopped stealing mods from others just to create an ((addon pack))

[ripe patrol]

(no seriously we need more weather ppl)

[glass wave]

Later as in months or sooner?

[empty gorge]

ifreaking would want to ngl atleast for anomalous weather

[sinful crane]

Most of the mods of my game are yours so i thought the weather one was also made by you lol

[empty gorge]

we never seeing clear blue sky again if i do that

[empty gorge]

yeah it happens, also happens with bb that people think i made it

isnt it @eternal crag

[empty gorge]

steam would go down if i upload a weather mod and u know it

[stiff pasture]

Week long emissions

[hazy helm]

NLC7

[empty gorge]

i asked ace, he said its not really possible iirc

[lethal void]

I disabled framegen and have not been crashing since

[empty gorge]

but i wanted unpredictable emissions like get rekt duration

[ripe patrol]

totally possible

I basically modified the whole emission system, and it can be totally done

[ripe patrol]

random duration is a bit harder to do

you have 2 independent system that would need to somehow sync

[empty gorge]

well yeah thats what i asked before like dayssss emissions

so u need like a whole picknick of food in bag if it hits

else shit out of luck i guess hha

[glossy blade]

stone

[stiff pasture]

I’m sorry but if I get hit with a week long emission and have a migraine that entire time, I’m just walking outside

[clever finch]

wym

[stiff pasture]

Molt can’t talk about it

[tacit oracle]

it means they can't say anything about it.

[clever finch]

ah alr

[hazy helm]

stone

[clever finch]

is molit an actual dev or like a really high admin or whatever u'd call it

[tacit oracle]

he's the social manager for gsc

or whatever it's called, he's like the announcement guy.

[long aspen]

So a MC.

[tacit oracle]

the conduit of the gods so to speak

[hazy helm]

hes a PR Manager working directly with GSC

[tacit oracle]

the prophet through which a higher form of truth spills forth

the prism by which the radiant mysteries of gsc take shape

[empty gorge]

he is an ai chatbot

wolf is actually human while mol1t is the bot

[drifting niche]

Do NPCs actually travel in offline mode or it's a trick?

[hazy helm]

no there is no alife

[tacit oracle]

they do travel in offline mode

[empty gorge]

well alife is quite broad compared to does npc move outside render

[tacit oracle]

I think the game simulates entities in offline mode 1-2km around the player

[hazy helm]

the most basic quality alife can havebis does a npc travel in unloaded chunks ans does it persist beetween exit and load in

that is as basic as it gets

[tacit oracle]

which essentially encompasses the chunk of terrain they're in

[drifting niche]

Are you sure? Maybe they're teleporting in random places

[hazy helm]

it doesnt, as soon as the npc is deloaded from a loaded chunk
hes dead

he does not exist anymore

[tacit oracle]

My source is one of the two big a-life modders at the moment, so I trust them.

[unreal raptor]

so do the NVGS need your flashlight to be turned on to use?

[hazy helm]

no

[ocean shadow]

Is the remastered trilogy any good?

[unreal raptor]

do they have their own IR light then? Why are people playing with what looks like a flshlight in all gameplay?

[eternal crag]

stop it lmao

your propaganda gonna make me look like a joke

[hazy helm]

just play the OGs dawg

[ocean shadow]

Oh, damn, i didn't even realize i had the enhanced versions in my steam library lol

[hazy helm]

the EE editions are the remastered trilogy

[ocean shadow]

Yeah, I didn't realize you go them for free

[sinful crane]

It's just me or the sensitivity when aiming feels fast af no matter if i put it in like 5%?

[vestal cypress]

where tf is the multiplayer for this game

[tacit oracle]

there's no multiplayer

[shy lichen]

yes it's completely broken. does GSC beta test this stuff at all???

i noticed it within 30 seconds of playing

[tacit oracle]

update's been in testing for about 2 weeks, so I'm assuming this is a last minute issue

[ripe patrol]

hmmm i didnt see this in testing, or from other testers. Does it happen with controller or m+kb?

[shy lichen]

controller. the game is 100% ignoring the aim sensitivity, it just matches the main look sensitivity.

no joke it's unplayable like this

[sinful crane]

Yep

[ripe patrol]

they made a bunch of new controller changes. Have you tried using the Reset settings button?

[sinful crane]

Thought you needed to configure the new curve thingy

[shy lichen]

yes

[ripe patrol]

RIP

[shy lichen]

yeah same, and as far as i can tell THAT setting does absolutely nothing either.

if GSC is interested, i'm available for hire for beta testing PC and i charge very reasonable rates.

i'd just play mouse and keyboard but there are STILL major issues with keybinding that have been there since day one.

[polar salmon]

Have they added stealth to the game or should i wait another year to reinstall?

[unreal raptor]

i'd give it two

cooking

[glass wave]

What’s that

[clever finch]

aah

[hazy helm]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/nlc7-he23/downloads/nlc7-he

[glass wave]

One mod please 🤓☝️

[hazy helm]

https://tenor.com/view/special-ops-sniper-amir-usa-america-gif-24492787

[sly flint]

1.6 is up?

[hazy helm]

you get paid?

[clever finch]

what does this mean? they travel?

[clever finch]

yessir

[hazy helm]

they dont, they dont exist

[sly flint]

Thanks!!! 😄

[glass wave]

I don’t understand what the mod changes except language but I’ll check it out. Thanks

[hazy helm]

just read the page, you have a list with some of the changes

but it changes the story, gameplay, maps, basically, new game

[glass wave]

Just read it, I will try it. But are all the other mods compatible?

[clever finch]

how the hell did the weapons trader at the slag heap get his hands on an assault rifle suppressor

[sinful crane]

The zone acts in misterious ways

[clever finch]

the one for the ak's

[clever finch]

it sure does

[white ruin]

time to play again now that 1.6 is out, im doing it after some beers so i will more than likely die. alot

[clever finch]

why did they add it so it shows the EXACT weight now. lol

[surreal mortar]

Such is the way of the Zone.

[white ruin]

i will still have fun though 🙂

i didnt know yo ucouldnt swim at first so i jumped trying to avoid a stealth monster (that honestly made me piss myself) and i died LOL. first death in the game

[clever finch]

they added thumbnails for saves, neat🤔

[white ruin]

that's awesome! so i can see what is about to kill me before i load my save? 😂

[drifting niche]

they are supposed to travel, hunt for artifacts, return to camp etc

[clever finch]

is there any difference between the "predator" m860 cracker compared to the regular one

[long aspen]

Predator can't get the mag upgrade base cracker can.

[clever finch]

lame, does it have higher damage or sum?

[long aspen]

Don't know, I just sell it. Saiga better then that trash.

[clever finch]

theres a drum mag for the saiga right?

[long aspen]

Yes, but locked in a point of no return. Kinda soy.

[clever finch]

idk why that is

I guess its possible to get it with mods but thats not too fun

ng+... DEVS

[sharp ridge]

the drum mag for the saiga is not behind the PONR anymore

[sharp ridge]

Its on the dock in prypiat

[clever finch]

oh wtf

[sharp ridge]

It didnt use to. But supposedly it was buffed in this patch according to the notes

[clever finch]

did they add it in this update or sum

[sharp ridge]

no but it was put there in 1.5 a few months ago

[viral garden]

Zup! Decided to jump back in to stalker now with p1.6
Got some mods active but it crashes both on saves and on new game. Deactive mod by mod and see which one is causing it?

[sharp ridge]

Youll likely need to remove ALL of them if previous patches are anything to go by

[clever finch]

am I tweaking or did they change the sound on the hilka detector

[viral garden]

ah shi... I was hoping not that x.x" wanted to run with some nice graphic changes.

[zinc apex]

did they add A-Life?

[viral garden]

Is there any folder that you otherwise should clean? I'm validating the steam files atm

[sharp ridge]

a-life fixes and upgrades are ongoing, so no and yes?

[sharp ridge]

no just clean out your whole mods folder

[viral garden]

Thanks. Cleaned out all the mods, got the warning that they are missing - but now the new game starts. Think I'll try downloading one-by-one and check

[sharp ridge]

cant hurt to try, but can almost assure you none will work lol

[sinful crane]

Yeah i was having the same problem, even the flashlight mod crashes my game

[wise night]

hey guys, does OXA works with 1.6? im guessing its not but asking in case. Not prototype just standard version

[smoky lichen]

Is A-Life become better?

[tacit oracle]

no mods work right now that we're aware.

[wise night]

for instance, better ballistics and DWO should work because theyve been updated to 1.6 but havent launch the game yet

[tacit oracle]

I have spoecifically heard people say that BB is crashing their game

I would strongly, STRONGLY recommend either waiting for mods to be confirmed up to date, or uninstalling everything and starting a new game in the meantime.

[wise night]

thats interesting dude updated the mod couple of hours ago

[ripe patrol]

all my mods should be working and updated for 1.6

[tacit oracle]

probably 'cause everyone was crashing with it

[wise night]

hey Ace, thanks for your work. Im using your WRP, DWO, RLD and combat vfx. Can you confirm that theyre working on this update?

ok captain obvious)

[viral garden]

Tested and works with 1.6:

• Skip initial cutscene
• Clear Sky by Pankotan
• More Realistic Forest by PanKotan
• Tactiool (weapon reposition)
• English Zone

Will check more later/tomorrow 🙂

[ripe patrol]

for PC yes, theyre not updated for Xbox yet

[wise night]

thanks man, i really appreciate what you're doing, thanks again

[flint cliff]

After patch 1.6 on Xbox, when I load the game, it goes back to the dashboard. Is this just me? I can't play anymore.

After patch 1.6 on Xbox, when I load the game, it goes back to the dashboard. Is this just me? I can't play anymore.

[zinc apex]

ok

[ripe patrol]

are you running mods?

[flint cliff]

Yes

[surreal mortar]

Try with them disabled?

[ripe patrol]

most mods, like 90% of the mods, will not work and you will need to wait for the mod author to update them

[flint cliff]

I'll try it and let you know, thanks. Do you know if Better Ballistic, Real Longer Days, and Unforgiving Zone work?

[fickle snow]

I know this is completely irrelevant to stalker

But can I tell you guys what happened this morning

[surreal mortar]

I don't, and I wouldn't expect them to, based on what mod authors as well as others have said.

[flint cliff]

These mods works

[hexed pebble]

What's all the "improved art of this area" in the patch notes can anyone say if its even any different?

[fickle apex]

No fix for the Hardcoded Numpad Keys, an issue that is there since release. This is a Joke

[ripe patrol]

Are you on Xbox?

[summer stream]

I submitted a question about this. We’ll see if they respond

I’m pretty sure it has to do with increasing foliage, trees, and other items in the world areas

[flint cliff]

Yes, but there are other mods that don't start the game, such as the realistic torch mod.

[ripe patrol]

Better Ballistic and Unforgiving Zone are outdated and will bring issues, even if they let the game start. Real Longer Days should be fine

[flint cliff]

The patch notes say that you can't use the scope when using night vision goggles, but the one on the Mosin works for me.

Why?

[silver shuttle]

Check the upgrades you have on it at a tech. One of the upgrades now allows you to scope with the NVG equipped.

[flint cliff]

What kind of problems can they cause?

[unreal raptor]

considering that changed the ballistics etc for performance reasons I would steer clear of that until it gets updated.

[grizzled herald]

uhhhhm has anyone else the issue that accepting "the new quest" resets the reputation with Loners to white? 😅 I also got Bandits that do not see me and do not fight even when shot haha. oh well....

ok it's not accepting the quest it is "entering the house" that breaks it... Ticket time~

[unreal raptor]

crash on every load for me

[clever finch]

didnt expect the nvgs to have such detail to the point where they start flickering during an emission

[unreal raptor]

this game is suck as

[tacit oracle]

seeing someone who shits on the game at every opportunity they have having horrible technical difficulties saddens me to no end

[sinful crane]

Maybe try playing without mods

[unreal raptor]

Yup tried that. Nothing.

New game same.

[unreal raptor]

🥲

[ripe patrol]

Unforgiving Zone reworks stashes so you will probably have plenty of issues with that, also will have issues with NVG effects since it also touches those files. Better Ballisitics, like said above, touches abunch of ballisitics and weapon configs, which will also replace any changes the made to the game

[sinful crane]

Damn then idk, my solution was removing all the mods and rn i only have the weapon reposition one

Even the flashlight mod got fcked up

[unreal raptor]

Yeah I’ll give it another go. Likely a reinstall. Again.

[sinful crane]

Are you on xbox?

[unreal raptor]

Yeah I was thinking it might be that one but trying with none still CTD. On PC.

[sinful crane]

I'm on xbox so i cleared the reserved space of the game, cleaned the data and just installed the weapon reposition mod and i was able to start a new game

But yup PC is a whole different world lol

[clever finch]

why do some stuff say theyre worth a lot more than they actually are, like artifacts "worth" 70k can only be sold for 12k at traders, or is there other places that u can sell them to?

[ripe patrol]

Worth and Sell price are different things. Depending on your relation with the trader, and the type of trader, for example, will have different sale prices

you could consider finding out the best sale prices as part of the gameplay loop

[clever finch]

the traders that sell guns pay the most for them right?

[ripe patrol]

Nerds will also pay well (gotta find the nerds)

Rostok is a main trading hub as well. i think they pay well there

someone correct me if im wrong

[flint cliff]

I know you all use mouse and keyboard here, but after 1.6 I think the AIM SENSITIVITY option in the controller options was disabled. Basically, having 0% or 100% is the same. So now aiming is too fast and it becomes more difficult to aim. Has anyone noticed this?

[flint cliff]

I haven't noticed any problems. The NVG I got for zero rubles isn't that great, but I think that's because it's the cheapest one. What do you mean by NVG problems with Unforgiving Zone?

[plain trench]

Can you aim (like turn gun) via controller using NVG?
Or just regular aim?

[flint cliff]

I was wondering what problems Unforgiving Zone might cause. It's not causing any problems with the NVG. Instead, I uninstalled Better Ballistic, which actually allowed me to aim with the telescopic sight, as was the case before version 1.6, even though I had the NVG enabled. So, at the moment, I have Unforgiving Zone and Real Longer Days.

[plain trench]

I see, the Better Ballistic doesn't work correctly with 1.6

[obtuse creek]

Loaded a save from 1.1 patch, my trade button is missing, when Im in the trade menu I cant accept the trade as there is no button. Tried resetting to defaults and it didn't change anything
Has anyone else had that problem?

[sharp ridge]

any mods installed?

[obtuse creek]

just -75% stamina and no item dura loss from before, could try disabling them

[sharp ridge]

def try that, and also that save is a pretty old version so you might just be SOL

[flint cliff]

Can you confirm that the NVG you can get in Zaton isn't that great?

[obtuse creek]

it was no item dura loss for some reason

[grizzled kraken]

I feel stupid but where to get NV goggles?

[past basalt]

Sultansk/Skadovsk doors are still stuck in 1.6. Even when wearing cool NVGs.

[grizzled kraken]

Through quest or stash or merchants?

[sharp ridge]

can be bought supposedly. Sido and such. I think the better ones are in yaniv and are expensive

[grizzled kraken]

merchant have nothing 🙁

[true oxide]

if i have a save previously from before a few updates, will i still experience the new update if i load into it?

[thick wolf]

Yes

[true oxide]

thank you

[sharp ridge]

roll the merchant a couple a times, thier inventory is pretty random on the best of days

[hard sleet]

Does anybody know where and which parameters need to be changed to increase both the count of decals and the time they stay present?

[lofty fossil]

game will not run right at all im on lowest and the game runs at 1 frame

the game did not run like this last time

[strong widget]

On Xbox, the controller aim sensitivity slider doesn't seem to change the sensitivity. Has anyone else have this problem?

[lofty fossil]

i tryed every optimzied mod the game at best runs at 7 fps

did the new patch break the game.

[topaz rover]

Does anyone know the console command for the NVGs?

[tardy remnant]

the change aiming method isn't working, do i gotta get one of the new lasers or a set of nvgs first?

[wraith socket]

Reminder this is the No Spoilers channel. If you have stuff to reveal, use the Stalker-General channel. Thanks.

[merry verge]

Yeah it only works with NVGs as far as I know rn

[wooden zenith]

Where is the general channel? I don’t see one

Can I get to Yaniv at the beginning of the game?

Or am I locked until I progress far enough?

[wraith socket]

You have to expand the menu under Stalker 2. It's the channel directly above this one.

[wraith socket]

You cannot go to Yaniv until you are allowed to leave the Lesser Zone.

[wooden zenith]

Okay thanks for the heads up. I restarted for the latest update. I just wanted to rush there, but I figured I would be locked out because of that.

[wraith socket]

https://discord.com/channels/504587323577729024/1308034374473617459

[gray kayak]

Yep

[tardy remnant]

@wraith socket i remember you from the old OG stalker facebook page way back in the day, must have been like 2012 or something

[wraith socket]

I'm still there, just more active here. Good to see you in both places.

[tardy remnant]

you too!

[wraith socket]

Great day to be here, getting the NVG in Stalker 2.

[tardy remnant]

i know right

[earnest edge]

I was not able to see this until you put it in here and I had to add it to my visible list.

[tardy remnant]

same

[wraith socket]

That's the main Stalker 2 channel with the most traffic.

[earnest edge]

I was just sharing my experience in case it happens again. Much love!! Because I just noticed me and swaink both had the issue just now. Trying to be helpful

[tardy remnant]

its true once i clicked it here it showed up as a recommended channel, then i was able to right click and add it to the channel list

[fossil harness]

hi, where to report bugs? after 1.6 patch on my xbox the aiming controller sensitivity is being completely ignored by the game and it's become the same as the movement sensitivity. this makes the game unplayable.

[hard sleet]

man I'm struggling to find the right reshade / colour balance with the game for my AW3423DWF oled. It's either too dark, the colours are muted, or the highlights are blown out. Does anyone that games on OLED have a balanced reshade or configuration that I could model off of? I even tried RenoDX but the addon seems completely broken for me. Blows out the highlights by default and the colours are too warm.

The scenes between a sunny day in teh woods, inside SIRCAA, or in a dark space are so far apart. If you tune for one, it ruins the other scenarios.

[wraith socket]

https://discord.com/channels/504587323577729024/1308753015355740181

[wraith socket]

Amazing how that model shows up a lot here. @spare blade @halcyon briar

[hard sleet]

Hmm interesting. S2 is the only game I've struggled with for colour/light balancing in SDR/HDR. There is something unique about how they colour graded the game etc I think that makes it tricky

[wraith socket]

I tagged two people that I think have that model. Might have to wait a day or two for a response.

[hard sleet]

Thanks 👍🏼

[safe badge]

I wish you all a good day be well

[hard sleet]

thanks for sharing. Here's the kicker, because the game is quite bright overall, HDR true black works better to create an overall brighter image. I tested it myself and vanilla looks better in true black.

I'm not entirely sure about the SDR configuration if I keep my monitor in HDR full time as those parameters get locked out when in HDR. I'll give this a look over though. Probably explains why ever Reshade sucks for me lol.

[wraith socket]

You're welcome. Good Luck.

[hard sleet]

I guess one thing I need to understand is what the artistic intention of the game is. Is it supposed to be bland in terms of colour? No harsh tones, to give a sort of eerie mood or is it supposed to be rich and vibrant? I guess I shouldn't fight the intended design

[wraith socket]

Just make it where it looks good to you.

[clever finch]

am I trippin or did harpy's hair style change? the technician in yaniv

[hot canopy]

It did. They changed all the women.

[clever finch]

btw the ar416 really needs a weight reduction option cuz that thing is way too heavy

[clever finch]

ooh

[hot canopy]

Anyone got any "must have" mods they love?

[flint cliff]

NVG1 is poor quality but I saw NVG 2 selling for 55,000 rubles. Damn!

If anyone's interested, they're working on fixing the controller's aim sensitivity issue. I just got a response from their support team.

[clever finch]

I forgot if theres a keybind to switch to the underbarrel weapon without using the radial menu

[deft pond]

Hold down the change fire type button

[clever finch]

thx

[mighty tapir]

Hey, do you know how I can switch aiming with the controller?

[unreal raptor]

Switch aiming?

[mighty tapir]

With the nvg, sorry for my English

The game says to press the select button when ads with nvg but... It just open the PDA

[languid widget]

did anyone experience rain falling through the buildings?

[languid widget]

for NVG you need to hold the button for a 1-2 seconds

[mighty tapir]

Damned I can't send pictures

I can activate nvg without problem, but switching scope/side aiming (with the Alt key) doesn't seem to work with the Xbox controller

[thick wolf]

I'm playing the actual Xbox version. To switch to side aim, turn nvg on, aim down sights then press the back button (two rectangles on newer controllers)

[mighty tapir]

Yep, that's what the game is telling me to do ... But it just opens the PDA instead. Maybe because I'm playing the pc version with a controller ? It's an official one, Elite V2

[unreal raptor]

sounds annoying but the support for controllers is terrible, a workaround would be to set it up yourself in the steam UI for controllers. Assign it to the keyboard shortcut.

I've done this for a few things and it's quicker than waiting on Devs. Just remember to turn it back off if they fix it! 😂

[mighty tapir]

Indeed, sounds a good idea. Will do it, thanks for the tip

[flat patrol]

Question can we play the game after the ending like after the game ends?? Or is there like a point of no return message that pops up before the ending??

[surreal mortar]

There is a point of no return that is communicated in game via a message in the middle of the screen, so it's pretty hard to miss.

[lucid pagoda]

I really don't understand why we can't manually bind any controls the way we can for M+KB

[unreal raptor]

I imagine it will come a lot later down the line

maybe with the PS5 release? The current controller implementation is terrible on PC

[lucid pagoda]

Hopefully, but I don't understand why such a basic feature isn't available already and would love to know the reasoning for prohibiting it lol, there are a number of combo binds they could do if they are worried about lack of buttons on controller like the way Helldivers Arma Reforger and others recognize holding buttons has an overlay for different functions as well as single/double taps/holds recognized separately like the way NVGs & flashlight are bound

[zinc apex]

has anyone seen A-Life?

[elder beacon]

Has mod combatability been fixed

[unreal raptor]

No ._.

I'm still trying to remedy CTD on load. Not quite managed to play 1.6 yet.

[smoky lichen]

I'm here

[flint cliff]

I spent a fortune from my stash to get the NVG2.

[glass wave]

just downloaded shay's mods. damn. looking now for some damage mods? enhanced combact smthing like that

[fathom bramble]

Guys, any settings for contrast, brightness, and gamma to make nights darker?

I tried adjusting values and getting decent darkness, but then the lights or even the flashlight get pretty dark too

[glass wave]

is there any way to aim to the side?

[fathom bramble]

I think that with alt you aim while you use NVG

[worn oar]

Lean? Is that what you mean?

[silver shuttle]

Finally bite the bullet and drop like half of my bank on fully upgrading an HK416
Go out to give it a test run
Random bandit drops a VS Vintar.

VS Vintar is my favorite gun asdfasdf

[glass wave]

yes

[worn oar]

If you have qwerty keyboard style then it's Q and E and if azerty then A and E.

[glass wave]

no no sorry, I mean lean the weapon to the side and aim. like if you have laser, you would aim with the laser only

[worn oar]

Ah

It's automatic

[glass wave]

while aiming down sights you can aim from the scope and iron sights. there is another way

[worn oar]

You can go over the edges and at the right angle, it would trigger on its own, either on the upper side or left and right.

I hope I got what you meant correctly?

[young condor]

Maybe he means the canted aim , you can only do it currently with the NVGs .

[tribal fable]

Hello, I wanted to ask if anyone else is having issues with the new patch, after the 1.6 patch, my game crashes very time I leave the base with pistol animations being the culprit.

[ripe patrol]

mods?

[tribal fable]

Yeah, might have had a couple, but none of them touched animations as far as I can tell

[topaz rover]

anyone know the console command for nvgs?

[sinful crane]

Are the shay mods compatible with the new patch?

[timber locust]

why do i get a notif that achievements are off even tho i have mods off??

[round prawn]

so can i finally play this game or is it still super buggy?

[ripe patrol]

much better than release

[timber locust]

MUCH MUCH better

[round prawn]

nice

[ripe patrol]

still has some issues, big and small

[timber locust]

guys sos why do i get a notif that achievements are off even tho i have mods off??

[ripe patrol]

if youre on xbox, mods are all almost not working, on PC just make sure to see if its updated or doesnt break the game

[ripe patrol]

PC/Xbox/Gamepass?

[timber locust]

steam

[ripe patrol]

do you have any mods in ~mods folder? you might need to delete it if its still there

[timber locust]

even the optimisation stuff...that's lame

[ripe patrol]

i think the game just detects in the ~mods folder exists with something in it

and yeah... its very lame

[timber locust]

do i need to like replay the game to get the achievement for all artifacts or do i need to collect the last one needed without mods

the only mod i have is s2optimisedtweaks

[ripe patrol]

your save file is now flagged if it has the mod icon on it. You can try though

[timber locust]

wait..mod icon??? for example? btw i deleted the mod and it now doesnt warn me about mods

so thanks for that

check your DM

[tribal fable]

I'm guessing no way to somehow convert save file from modded to vanilla?

[ripe patrol]

depends on which mods you had on

[tribal fable]

Had the CLIKRAD's collection

[ripe patrol]

god idk thats a lot of mods...

[tribal fable]

Dang. Really don't want to start over 😅

But probably should have thought of that earlier

Hopefully the collection will be updated to 1.6

Anyone figure out a reverse s curve for controller?

What do you mean?

[glass sleet]

For the new controller curve system. Trying to figure out what works for a reverse s curve loll (idk how else to say it, that’s what it’s called)

[young condor]

A reverse s curve is going to be weird with the aim sensitivity being messed up rn

[glass sleet]

Ahhhh that’s probably why I couldn’t figure it out

[young condor]

Yea your currently better off making a slower delayed curve and adjusting your regular sensitivity for the speed
