Where do you have CS on? Original copy, Steam, GOG or something else?

steam

That explains a lot
Steam version ftw
Still, Gajunas didn't have the same problem when he was playing it on Steam
Probably bad luck, but this shouldn't happen on the GOG version

I don’t know if turning down the desk job would also be turning down the promotion

Since he got a promotion for his actions in the zone
Doubt the military would give him that ultimatum

no it is cs
he is in limansk and he is kinda lost
its not easy to find your way if you are a first timer in there
I learned it in the hard way in CoC

shadow of chernobyl keeps crashing when im at chernobyl
when i save the game, is this a feature?

Seriously speaking no Yes

how big is shadow of chernobyl in terms of gameplay time?
tired anvil
Well, according to reddit it's 32 hours, though you will most likely pass it faster than that
I'd say somewhere around 20 hours or so if you don't rush everything
finite dragon
im more scared of playing the game in vanilla, i dont remember if it crashed alot
tired anvil
I personally didn't have many issues
languid harbor
im playing it right now and it has only crashed rn
sick topaz
yeah, its surprisingly stable, at least in my experience
languid harbor
loading to the next level fixed it soooo

not sure if the weapons that i saw are in that mod i guess.

no shadow of chernobyl

i mean, i like playing modded stalker, but is it ypur first time?
finite dragon
my CoP disc is broken sadly
no. ive played stalker a few times but never finished it sadly.
im not even sure if my dvd blueray drive works haha, should i just buy it off of steam i guess?
sick topaz
id say so
timber flame
Help how do through lab x18
sick topaz
that way you can mod it easier and honestly, i think that the wide array of modding is waht helps stalker games so much
waht do you mean emu?
finite dragon
the cd is pretty scratched as well tbh. so im not even sure if it works as well. ive dug up the game from my old basement
yes mods really extend the life of a game, look at Doom, 25 years of modding And people still play doom
btw guys is modding stalker difficult? is it like modding skyrim where you have to like unlock max Ram usage, cleaning dirty edits and having to make a load order of mods?
languid harbor
do yall think its possible to complete the SOC ending level with a barely any radiation protection
btw guys is modding stalker difficult? is it like modding skyrim where you have to like unlock max Ram usage, cleaning dirty edits and having to make a load order of mods?
its just drag and drop from my experience but i had problems call of chernobyl where i think the game didnt have enough ram so it crashed
but im not sure
sick topaz
yeah, id say its a little harder than skyrim, but definitely easier than og battlefront 2 or like, a total war game
finite dragon
btw should i buy all 3 or just get chernobyl first?
sick topaz
no, get all 3
honestly, i think that all in all, clear sky might just be my favorite, and all of them get better with modding, like arsenal overhaul, or outfit addons

the horror
leaden hamlet
Something I noticed when me & a mate of mine did duel playthroughs of SoC; difficultly level not only seems to affect the damage of the Poltergeist's thrown objects but it seems to spawn more clutter for them to throw! He played on 'Stalker' difficulty, I played on 'Veteran', and we stood side-by-side in one of the first rooms. He had like 2 barrels and I had like 9...And then it got worse from there. 🤣
Evil evil so-and-sos...

Think the boxes are bad? Just wait till to get a box to the face, it breaks open, reveals an Artifact, which it THEN throws at you. Happened on one of my first ever playthroughs of the game and I think I stopped and had to go outside for a while to calm down. 🤣

@coral patrol lemme answer

you need a detector to find those artefacts
and artefacts spawn in anomaly fields unlike in soc

should I use an echo detector?

Definitely give it a go, there are different ones and some can only find some artifacts. Better ones can find better artifacts.

Yes

Within minutes of asking a question in ask_gsc I get an answer like this
finite dragon
hey guys, did anomaly mod get any optimization for weaker PC the ?
still ridge
Yes you can just lower DX
finite dragon
is that a new thing or just an old advice? because when i lowered it back when i had it
it lagged.
still ridge
That’s old
finite dragon
and by lag i mean, it LAAAGED. like out of this existence
still ridge
it’s already extremely optimizable
Use DX8 or 9, and lower graphical settings to minimum
you should be able to run it at maybe 40fps
finite dragon
okey i will try it again. its been month since i tried playing it
cursive bobcat
Remove the "Textures" folder in Gamedata
still ridge
No don’t do that
cursive bobcat
100% works
finite dragon
yeah. it`s potato. the life of broken man sucks
still ridge
DX8, lower all graphical settings to minimum
finite dragon
ok! i will try! thanks guys!
still ridge
you should be able to run it
It won’t look good by any means, but you’ll be able to run it with maybe 40fps
finite dragon
i play Last day on mid. shouldn`t look worse then that right?
still ridge
well I wouldn’t know
finite dragon
true lol sorry for asking
still ridge
Anomaly is basically the best looking stalker mod, but when you lower everything, I’m not sure if it will look better than other mods

@timber flame
NICE!!! Well done guy, fantastic job. 👍 👍
timber flame
I saw no bloodsuckers and no giant guy, it was actually pretty nice besides the beginning
leaden hamlet
If it's any conciliation, I've probably finished SoC like 10 times and I still go into X-18 like
noble lodge
That new music they released is sick man 
tired anvil
It's a month old
noble lodge
Don’t destroy my dreams
still ridge
no giant guy
timber flame
Is there a part of x18 I missed?
still ridge
Yes
still ridge
I saw no bloodsuckers and no giant guy, it was actually pretty nice besides the beginning
timber flame
I was thinking bout the chunky hooded guy
still ridge
Oh
hard stirrup
timber flame
X18 was actually not bad so im glad
timber flame
Is x16 spoopy

The OST sounds pretty nice for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 if we're gonna go by the little teaser they put up now. 🙂
tired anvil
It's been up for a month 
sudden sapphire
No, I meant the 108 Bits of the Zone they put up today.
still ridge
@tired anvil not officially
mighty trellis
Yo who else thinks 108 bit sounds like cut scene music?
still ridge
No it’s probably menu music
mighty trellis
@still ridge its been on the website since they changed it from the "2.0.2.1" screen
still ridge
Ok
mighty trellis
and Idk feels too energetic to be menu music
I mean SoC had energy, but nothing on the level of 108
halcyon talon
Kare yeah, hopefully there’s some like, dark ambience music when just walking or a long ZONE track, that would be cool
tired anvil
@tired anvil not officially
Anything on the site is officially imo
main glen
Well, for me the 108 doesnt really fit the tone the 3 other games set.
still ridge
nah look at the description
“Prepare for a new deadly journey: something has changed within the Zone…”
tired anvil
Something changed, now the game is like CoD
still ridge
the door is that way @tired anvil
still ridge
🦼
tired anvil
Hey no
leaden hamlet
I mean, if you think about it, the other 3 are kinda like CoD...Only you're the first enemy in the campaign and everyone else is the player character. 
still ridge
Stalker anime opening

@tired anvil
That gosh darn emote pic is the best thing I've seen all day. I needed that, thanks! 🤣 🤣 🤣

tired anvil
smoky sonnet
RoN
still ridge
would not be surprised if stalker 2 releases before RoH
tired anvil
Ikr lmao
tired anvil
still ridge
Yooo
drowsy elbow
Maybe 108 is like a recap music or a initial cutscene music, but then again, who knows
still ridge
Menu music I believe
tender bane
Man no hate towards the new soundtrack but I feel MoOzE was the best pick for the franchise ; the way the conveyed ambience was unmatched
still ridge
Doubt we’re gonna have a CoP introduction style cutscene with that music
mooze was involved in some controversy iirc
I don’t recall the details
tender bane
RIP, but they did beststuff lmao. Also the artist for CoP was aokayish.Loved the Pripyat day/night theme
I feel going full blown soundtrack is kinda eh, since the ambience was what made the Zone alive for me, but each to their own tbf
tired anvil
mooze was involved in some controversy iirc
If by controversy you mean him saying “No I am not related to the project” then yeah sure
Other than that nothing afaik
still ridge
iirc
tender bane
Ah, that's good to know
still ridge
could very well be mistaken
tired anvil
iirc
still ridge
Pripyat’s music was arguably the best out of the OT
tender bane
Agreed. AND the outro music when you were faced with the outcome of your choices
still ridge
Zaton theme 
tender bane
It truely felt like you were coming to an end of an amazing adventure
still ridge
Zaton and Pripyat ambience
tender bane
^^^ 10/10
I always liked having people from other mods, such as dead air, picks everal choices which complied with the overal style. it helped me discover a whole bunch of great artists
still ridge
Spasibo
native ibex
Haven't we already had access to that part of the soundtrack
pseudo rivet
still ridge
Even if it’s not very similar to previous tracks, given that it’s a new game with new themes I would say it really doesn’t matter
“Prepare for a new deadly journey: something has changed within the Zone…”
pseudo rivet
Do you think STALKER 2 will be like Portal?
still ridge
everyone is entitled to their own opinions, even if they’re wrong
Personally I think it fits just fine
granted I only listened to it once
pseudo rivet
everyone is entitled to their own opinions,
even if they’re wrong
finite dragon
Even if my opinion is stalker 2 should have low poly models and bad textures
wary cove
Agreed. AND the outro music when you were faced with the outcome of your choices
Yup, that track and Live to forget legit made me shed a tear
finite dragon
GSC please make it possible to turn the PMm to a full-automatic pistol with a 30 round magazine that shoots at 1500 rpm in S2
pseudo rivet
pseudo rivet
RPMm-74
still ridge
That’s what it would be in game
native ibex
Hey guys
tired anvil
Hey Merc
native ibex
What's going on?
Really looking forward to some STALKER 2 gameplay reveal here in a few years
wary cove
What's up
tired anvil
pseudo rivet
Another*
tired anvil
I'm looking forward to that gameplay too
still ridge
Gameplay reveal this year
pseudo rivet
still ridge
If only
wary cove
pseudo rivet
Don't sleep
tired anvil
Hey that too
pseudo rivet
The Dark Stalkers will come to get you
native ibex
Yes, I want Sin faction
still ridge
Gaj doesn’t hope for gameplay reveal?
tired anvil
Tbh yeah I'd rather get concept art
still ridge
What is this
tired anvil
I'd much rather see the gameplay myself when I open the game
woven fern
is the family rifle a deagle? because thats the only thing i found in the tunnel
still ridge
Why not both
woven fern
im right on top of it
native ibex
I hope for psuedogiant plushy in collector's edition
pseudo rivet
Keep that Deagle, though
tired anvil
W concept art it's more content technically
still ridge
Deagle is my favorite rifle
pseudo rivet
Epic
woven fern
im right on top of where it says it is, but its not there
still ridge
@tired anvil nah
tired anvil
Because you will see the gameplay on display one way or another, you don't exactly see concept arts in the area
Yah
You will see the gameplay when you play it
still ridge
Why would you not want to see gameplay until release
woven fern
nvm found it, its a shotgun
pseudo rivet
Nice
wary cove
Yes
still ridge
that’s just wack
tired anvil
I wouldn't mind gameplay, but I would prefer concept art or something along the lines
still ridge
what about cinematic story trailer
pseudo rivet
Yikes
wary cove
tired anvil
I wouldn't want the story leaked in the trailer
native ibex
Story?
Whoa. Whoa, I didn't ask for that.
No buy.
deft flume
Guys what do you think of the new soundtrack
pseudo rivet
Trash
tired anvil
It's not new
still ridge
lol
pseudo rivet
tired anvil
That's what I think
native ibex
Dang
still ridge
crimson really hit him with that split second answer
pseudo rivet
still ridge
Concept art would be weird
wary cove
not impressive
pseudo rivet
I want it to be weird
still ridge
“Concept”
tired anvil
How would it be weird? We already have some and it's normal
deft flume
I mean compared to the soundtrack of soc etc it's too different
still ridge
Might have 0 relevance to the game since it’s a “concept”
pseudo rivet
It's basically Portal music
native ibex
Picky
pseudo rivet
No clue why they made that for STALKER
still ridge
Concept art can be 50/50
deft flume
I agree it doens't fit stalker at all
wary cove
Not that gloomy compared to the other osts
still ridge
depends on how it’s used tbh
pseudo rivet
Honestly, most of the time, concept art is better than the game
tired anvil
I'd like a Portal 3
pseudo rivet
Only once was it the other way around
wary cove
That would be great
pseudo rivet
And that was Ori and the Blind Forest
still ridge
@pseudo rivet laughs in Duty soldier with Gatling cannon
pseudo rivet
The game looked way better than the concept art
tired anvil
Nah you're just biased for Ori, be real
tired anvil
Though nah
still ridge
that’s honestly hilarious
pseudo rivet
And heck, the game looks better than the concept art
tired anvil
Game def gon be better than that
still ridge
Duty concept art lol
still ridge
only part of the exo that looks bad is the helmet imo
native ibex
Bowl cut exo
pseudo rivet
That sucks
tired anvil
No, I didn't say that
still ridge
The monolith exo looks good
tired anvil
I'm saying the canned s2 looked better than the Duty concept art
still ridge
like legitimately
woven fern
who here knows how to join duty
tired anvil
The non canned one also looks better as of now
pseudo rivet
Canned S.T.2 looks trash
still ridge
^
tired anvil
The game looks perfectly fine
still ridge
I mean
tired anvil
The story is a whole different mess
still ridge
err
pseudo rivet
Wackage
still ridge
Character models looked better than concept art
pseudo rivet
Bruh
still ridge
in terms of textures
tired anvil
Eh
pseudo rivet
Bruh
native ibex
I'm just looking forward to the new graphics on all the outfits.
still ridge
Also can we appreciate the monolith exo dude
pseudo rivet
Bruh
wary cove
Bad
native ibex
More polygons to render that leather jacket
still ridge
Legitimately looks insane
tired anvil
I can appreciate the old s2 art, but even that wasn't all good
still ridge
agree with gaj
pseudo rivet
All I want is a little sneak-peek on the outfits of S.T.2
still ridge
also, duty soldier with Gatling cannon
wary cove
I can appreciate the old s2 art, but even that wasn't all good
For another game that isn't stalker would be great
tired anvil
All I want is a little sneak-peek on the outfits of S.T.2
CS-3b
pseudo rivet
Eh
tired anvil
I'd like to see it
still ridge
I want a sneak peak of the game in general
pseudo rivet
Would be neat, but weird
tired anvil
Not super weird
native ibex
You think they'll do Raytracing?
Game'll be out well after those new fancy GPU's get released.
still ridge
gameplay, new mutants, etc
pseudo rivet
Lmao
still ridge
Yes @native ibex confirmed iirc
still ridge
name a better duo
native ibex
Crimson must have a shrine to CS in his closet or something
still ridge
Me and new mutants
native ibex
Who dat
tired anvil
You think they'll do Raytracing?
Already confirmed
still ridge
yes
native ibex
You think they'll do Raytracing?
Already confirmed
@tired anvil
That's like, really heckin' sweet
tired anvil
Ikr
still ridge
I want mutant reveals
pseudo rivet
Some other guy from the community that knows a lot of stuff
tired anvil
Mutant concept art
noble mica
Every time I hear Clear Sky, I have to think of the sick beats battle soundtracks.
still ridge
@tired anvil YES
pseudo rivet
tired anvil
Every time I play CS I think of the PMm Gang or Ashot and Yar
still ridge
mutant concept art>>>>other info
native ibex
Yeah
noble mica
Uncle Yar is the best man.
native ibex
I wanna see those thicc bloodsuckers already
pseudo rivet
PMm Gang
still ridge
if you look at the canned S2 bloodsucker, you can see how goddamn beefy they are
Hands the size of a stalker’s head
tired anvil
Ratdog looking weird though
still ridge
You mean the thing I posted in your dm’s?
tired anvil
Yeah
pseudo rivet
You mean Sakharov's pet?
gleaming dust
hey guys

Heyo!

@mighty trellis I see the song as pause music during action or something. It reminds me of the music that plays in the original pathologic menu

lucid elm
I hope Stalker 2 has the option to use Russian voices
tired anvil
I hope it has Ukrainian ones
lucid elm
What a coincidence
tender bane
Yup, that track and Live to forget legit made me shed a tear
@wary cove Mutual sentiment right there. I listen to the outro and still recall vivid memories of having first played the game. It's one of a kind.
solid prism
Good evening stalkers
I wonder if the title of the track is (108) bits of the zone meaning that Stalker 2 will have a helluva lot of music tracks.Or is it full name 108 bits of the zone?If it's the second then good luck figuring out what that is
tribal jolt
finite dragon
daily reminder, that if this has mod support, we can easily make a VR mod, since Unreal Engine already comes with all the tools required to do full VR implementation
tired anvil
Reminder that they literally said mod support on day 1
finite dragon
#hype
solid prism
One of the reasons why they choose UE
finite dragon
i think i will need an amazon subscription for adult diapers then though.
solid prism
Maybe if we see a bloodsucker next?
Or correction: Maybe if we don't see a bloodsucker ultil it's too late
feral verge
Tushkano aren't scary
Imagine getting chased by invisible bloodsuckers in VR, or psydogs
Or hearing a controller up close
tired anvil
Or just the crying Burer
finite dragon
Or just the crying Burer
And he wouldn't stop crying once you kill him like it happened to me today
