so it basically means we will play it 3 months later
No
gn
Don't care, I only trust holy Sergiy and GSC 
oh yea, they said they will release at the same time
Only the release date is false
It means there won't be a PS5 Port atleast for 3 months after release
From My understanding
Q4 sounds realistic, and too good to be true
i doubt that
i dont believe
they were saying about exclusivenity for pc and box when suddenly this appears
It's a confusing statement
It can sound like exclusive for just Xbox, or exclusive for Microsoft store
indeed
Such exists?
give link please
https://youtu.be/OmgtwEfEMG0 anyone got a link to the official video?
The Duty BTR video
if youre looking for a better quality version there isn't one,you're better of cropping the especific part that you want and using it
I was going to ask if there would be differences between the console and pc versions
im finna die one day playing this game, i cant stop getting jumpscared
Am I strange that I am calling darkscape as zones stomach?
SoC, are there containers that can be used as secure storage?
If by containers you mean stashes, any can be used
Ofc some are more practical than other
https://youtu.be/UzCUleqBcIQ guess this is what you're looking for 👍
There are blue boxes, green boxes, small red/brown(?) toolboxes, rucksacks (plus some graves and pipes) can be used as stashes
Npcs can't loot stashes in SoC so don't worry, your stuff is safe in any of these
I recommend the one in the Bar infront of barkeep
Since youre gonna be visiting it constantly
⬆️
good to know, main reason I asked was that the blue boxes around camps periodically restock. box in the bar it is
thanks
Clear sky seems to stutter and lag :(
Lower the graphics, set it to static lighting
Aye
So in shadow of Chernobyl you can store your gear in any container and it won’t despawn?
Never had any issues with that
In any of the games
Applies for CS as well
Yeah
||The only time your stash box gets emptied is in CoP, in an entirely optional quest||
it seems like items dropped on the ground stay there too, at least some guns I dropped were still there after leaving an area and coming back later
but a box feels safer anyway

Do you think my computer can run the area mod for call of pripyat?
you can, but its going to stutter alot in cop
i had toshiba with 4gb ram i3 and 16mb vram
Yes
I mean, it ran the autumn aurora mod for shadow of chernobyl just fine on the lowest settings
But then i think my computer couldnt process the mod files for stancia since when i went there, all i saw was the environment completely glitching itself
My whole screen was filled with misplaced terrain and spikes
Bitter moment
autumn aurora always crash when entering radar
every stalker mods really hates you trying to progress

Autumn aurora was the only mod i liked for soc
So now im moving on to pripyat
3 mods i wanna download
I had to cheat to kill 2 burers in the tunnel
With unlimited health, I ran to them with knife. But can not harm them in anyway
Good morning Stalkers , When can we expect little bit gameplay showcase from devs? Any deadline or info as of yet ?
So I must wait for them throw something over themself
What a ridiculous ridiculous monster
People are predicting something at E3, especially after the latest announcement
Ok thank you senor gajunas
I miss those days when I was playing stalker on my old computer
😅
Playing one a new one now? 
No. I hardly get time to play now. I last played stalker , specifically call of chernobyl mod back in 2017. And if you talk about the base game, I replayed all the three parts back in 2012 when stalker 2 got cancelled
Once stalker 2 is out, they need to release a mapping software for stalker 2
yes something like that
and watch how it crashes
i remember severely messing up in soc when i quicksaved during the final arena match against the dude with the exoskeleton, i thought we would get set loot to fight. when i realized we could bring our own loot, i could either load a save from 2 areas ago or try killing the dude with the knife
after around 30 minutes of attempts, i got him
In stalker anomaly have u guys noticed a Russian guy talking in the PDA radio during a emission. Whats he saying? Is it someone in the zone having a bad time during the emission? Its pretty creepy
emissions block PDA signals essentially
when a emission happens before the waves
a stalker warns everyone to take shelter
with sirens usually popping off in places
If I recall the ecologists and clear sky usually do such announcements,they have the equipment,or on CS case,had to do so
Tbh from my weak memory I have to say that it sounds similar to what you hear while storming CNP in ShoC
it sounds weird like theirs beeping maybe. Makes me think of the monolith but its probably just some guy dying to the storm
What?
thanks
When ur listening to music on the pda radio and a emission hits the radio plays static, music, and some guy talking with weird sounds. This was on stalker anomaly but the audio sounds to good to not be ripped from one of the official stalker games.
Theres not much ab it online
It isn't in the OG,but it's probs the military/freedom and duty sending transmissions with powerfull radios
I just want to hear Sakharov say "Hello, hello!" again
yea probably just some guy screaming over the radio that there's a emission, like yea buddy I can see that lmao
the voice defiantly isn't happy or calm
Well an emission is happening
It isn't good even if you are in cover
Btw which of the OG have you played
CS is great,you should
Is the oblivion lost mod good?
great
Damm
oblivion lost remake ofc
that's an interesting speculation
it would make sense given the extreme amount of flexibility for the date
i don't see why they would do it during winter
@tired anvil hey buddy, any news from the testers topic?
They mentioned that it's not beta testing, so the whole situation regarding that is a bit of a mess now, we can only really wait for E3 and hope to see what they've been up to
The biggest speculation is due to the fact that the number sequence in the latest announcement is from Lost
Huh? If it's not beta testing, then what could it be?
Which ends in 42, except the announcement doesn't have the 42
It is interesting who is gonna get beta testing if they do end up taking the idea
And 42 days from the announcement would be the date of E3
Man I had my hopes up, I thought they sought to recruit testers to make a gameplay video of the development so far
It's gonna be tough to wait through entirety of 21 without gameplay reveal
The first screenshot confirms it tho
The first screenshot also mentions playtest where a game is almost ready to publish
True true
I think it’s madness trying to predict when this game will come out personally
However I'll be really happy if we even get a gameplay tour like Chernobylite did
My biggest fear is that it's gonna take till 22-23
Anything can happen
I'm still sorta sent on 2021 personally
Thinking like this is going to make you go nuts
Yeah my hopes are on 21
We just gotta stay for the ride
Lol that you mentioned it like that, I kinda feel scared dying a year before stalker 2 is released
It’s better to keep your mind on the gameplay reveal imo
I'd be pissed at the gods
This may will mark 3 years since it got announced
Yeah we already got some nice ingame trailers and now what's left is an epic action gameplay trailer
And we'll be waiting
See
That’s why I don’t have high expectations
So they have alot of lore and models already imagined and structured
It's only up to the devs to create this world now
This game could possibly get delayed numerous years
Models isn't even close to a problem tbh
Very unlikely
Lore I imagine is thought about as well, only really implementing all of it is taking the time
I think GSC really put their faith and ALL into stalker 2
Making the game fun and playable is the hardest part
It's their last wild card to both stay alive and keep the series alive
Well I think GSC could nail gameplay atmosphere of the game and they're not bad on making good weapons either
Like action packed models/gameplay
Just don’t set your expectations high
It’s not healthy
And if the game turns out be be great you’ll be even happier
Well
Mine are high but also nonexistent
Stalker isn't like other games
First of all
The base idea of the game cannot result in a horrible game
Lmao CS release was extremely disappointing at first. The game aged very well though.
Second of it, I am sure modders would complete the game even if it isn't
Nope but I am putting it on the low-end expectations
Aight man you do you
However I doubt gsc would mess this one up
I’ve spoken my words
Lol
Q2 2022 is my guess
do you like the number 2?
^
Stalkan 2 Two Ways Edition
comes with 2 Lighters, 2 Discs, 2 artbooks, 2 wall posters and 2 packs of cards, and 2 T-shirts
I think they'll do a bit more if they do special editions
I was considering going for the complete edition few months ago but since then gave up
famous last words
You never set your expectations high
lmao
cyberpunk release was fantastic

eu be shipping true works of art recently...
think about this
in an alternate universe cyberpunk turned out to be what its expectations were
and even better
think about that
Praise ESC for exclusivity
why can't military be a good guys in stalker
not just stalker
other games like half life
Wdym?
Well how about soc and cs?
He's one of the few exceptions 
The stingray squad
It's interesting how the views on military changed throughout the games. Scar and almost everyone in CS openly stated their dislike for them, in SoC it seemed 50/50, then we play as Deg and we were able to discover another side of them
Well in CoP they’re a different part of the military
Unlike the ones from SoC and CS
does the anomaly 1.5.1 mod work with shadow of chernobyl?
Anomaly is standalone
Anomaly is standalone bro, download it, create a folder, name the folder ''Anomaly'', extract all the files into that folder, and bingo, you can play it
oh ok
Nothing else is needed
hopefully this mod actually renders in stancia
?
i got autumn aurora 2.1 and played through soc
when i got to pripyat, some of the trees were glitching into paved roads
then, as soon as i traveled to stancia, my whole screen was just filled with glitch spikes
the map didnt even show the level entrances anymore
i tried everything i could and uninstalled both the mod and the game but the problem persisted
so i abandoned the playthrough
no worries though since before that, i had a full playthrough with the vanilla game
Don’t play anomaly if you haven’t played the og games
i wouldn't have played SoC in AA right after I beat SoC
i would personally play CS then CoP
hellp
are my pc specs good enough to play s.t.a.l.k.e.r soc??
windows 7 ultimate sp1, intel r pentium r 4 cpu 3.00 ghz 2.99 ghz 2,00 gb ram 32 bit
anyone??
yeah for the vanilla game
why not?
it wasnt that hard
and i played on master
mann thank god
difficulty is not the point
my granddad let me play it on his comp a few years ago
is story the point?
wait nvm autumn aurora doesnt change story
why would you play AA right after SoC?
play the other games my dude
it would be more fun
less of a burn out
40 dollars
i hope theres a chamce for stalker 2 on ps5
you're looking on steam
you know you can get games on steam without buying from steam right?
ok
was he trynna play COP before CS?
epic embed fail
hi again
full bundle on steam costs 39 dollars
and if you already have shadow of chernobyl clear sky and call of prypiat are 29 dollars
What was i saying?! Bring him to me right now, or you will regret it you bums!
Yes, and GSC already commented on it
It's an old document from 2020 with errors, it's not worth paying any real attention to
Could you link me the stuff gsc commented on
@stray moss pinned in #🔍┃ask_gscarchive, use a translator. They pretty much say that it's always best to wait for official info, since that document is outdated in many ways
It is also an expectation by it, not a confirmation
Ight cool thanks
"PC players will only be able to play the game at the end of Q1 2022 at the very latest"
if this is true does this mean pc release occurs after xb release?
pinned in #🔍┃ask_gscarchive, use a translator. They pretty much say that it's always best to wait for official info, since that document is outdated in many ways
that seems in line with my predictions
lucky me with gamepass ultimate from that exploit a few years ago 😏
Hold up what?
official info is same day release on pc and xsx
nice
didn't know they made that official
when did they announce that?
sick
Okay, I got worried there.
thanks for the info man
i check faq regularly but i must have forgot
i'm actually quite literally idiotic
if you like stalker rp hmu 
Damm it
restarted my first playthrough of SoC due to mod mishaps. Have been pranking the military guys near the start with my silenced pistol, for some reason they're not laughing.
Marked One/Loners : ~~ 5 6 7 ~~ 8 , Military : ~~ 0 ~~everyone but sidorovich and me
yes
aaaaand they massacred the loner camp
It's already been cleared up WHEN THE DOCUMENT WAS RELEASED! PC is not coming out after xbox.
For anyone interested
Or CoP
@tired anvil yo do you know where I can get SoC 1.0004 ru
it goes from 1.0003-1.0005
Technically you can buy it online then
any new stalker 2 updoots?
I literally just posted an article about it
Man, dealing with Military in CS is a kick on balls. 
dude i thought the source was just interesting
you gotta read the other messages for context my man
i never actually believed it
It was posted 6 times in reddit just yesterday
And I had to explain each time that its old, irrelevant and already officially debunked
yeah it was a doc from like 2020 or something
but the article gajunas sent is pretty interesting
it looks like S2 is taking all the right development processes
"next-gen exclusive because the game would have been “impossible to run” on last-gen hardware. Our full interview will be going live soon, so stay tuned for that"
Cyberpunk could have learned something
The doc was from august 2020. The first trailer and anouncements of the platforms were in july 2020. This was just recaping the info.
And already in july 2020 GSC cleared up the whole confusion behind the exclusivity
yeah
it's nice the game seems dense in content for we will not get another stalker for a while
i stay away from reddit as much as possible
tech forums and q and a for tech is all i use
everything is a lot of baseless chatting
It can be good, but so many people there are so easy to fool
All they upvote is memes, no real information if that ever comes up
and all the info is usually fake too
Rather outdated than fake
For example Billy wrote a great article with tons of information
one guy sent a link to a site saying stalker 2 has stopped development
poop moment
i stay away from the community tbh
the help reddit gives to one another is very nice
the community aspect just seems very hard to read and kind of cringey
Yeah but it wasn't my post that spawned it sooo
They all fall under the same effect
woops sorry bout the profanity lmao
#🔍┃ask_gscarchive message i see now it is more common than i thought
i used to play stalker all day
now i don't play it much

monolith, i need to play stalker

You got the wrong guy, Billy Herrington is in Anomaly discord server
Nah I got the right guy
I was just calling you billy Herrington since you had him as a pfp before

Ironic
My thoughts exactly
hey I've found perfect music style for stalker 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VSYQ5VesD0
copyright moment
that sounds in a similar style to the CoP theme
Live to Forget is the name
live to forget was more modern and rock/metal like, while this one sounds a bit more oldschool and streamlined
I mean it gives off the same stalker vibe
yeah, I think it is because both songs strive for moderate melancholy with a bit of hope
I prefer more subtle delivery, although I love heavy metal
yeah LtF is a lot more of a standalone song to listen to while Myortvu Poetu is more a background like song
Ltf slaps
I've never heard Easter European metal
Easter or eastern?

Lmao does easter metal even exist
I'm gonna google it
Omg it does exist

Can someone help me with some weird issue
for some reason stalker SOC doesn't wanna boot up when i press play
i literally played last night and now it just doesn't wanna work ;_;
Check if all the game files are there if not maybe delete and redownload
Nice
Why are we not allowed to refer mods as jannies
Idk who told you that, but most of us don't care about it as far as the EN side goes at least
We even use it ourselves sometimes
That night I said it I woke up next day and 3 people got banned and one muted, wasn’t it for that reason? I’m sure it was because either you or another mod me ruined not to use that kek
I’m don’t know about that
I’m really confused
After agroprom underground i bring the documents to barkeep, then do i free the dutyer and do lab x-18 or do i do something else?
go lab x18 find docs bring to barkeeper and youll get new quest
Also after doing the Lab X18 quest you’ll unlock a side quest in cordons rookie Village
What’s the mission
Its from ogse
Its yantar secret
Its said i need to find a zombie named figa in x16 complex but i cant find him
in the warehouse to the south when you enter through the gate.
When you enter the warehouse he is about 3/4 of the way down along the north wall. He is there flailing.
Ok thanks i found him
Your gladly welcome
sorry to ping, but i tried uninstalling/reinstalling and verifying files via steam, still no action
Hi i want to ask again who is thompson in x16 complex in ogse?
i have tried so many things and i'm convinced that i probably can't play stalker at all
The Zone posses mortal danger! We are here to protect you from the Zone, not the Zone from you! Do not jeopardize your life, do not try to penetrate into the secured area!
Driveable vehicles are canon in the Stalker trilogy.
...The last two years westerners are scared to go into the Zone... a big fiasco happened to them. Now they only buy materials and information. They don't pay badly, so many loners work for them, and marauders too... What, you didn't hear that story? You surprise me! The whole Zone was buzzing, and you don't know that. Overall, there was a big infiltration. Only the scientists there were 30 from half the Earth... only the smartest, of course, and etc... They were well-prepared: a lot of money - up the wazoo, equipment - mountains of it. They took a platoon of soldiers for defence with them, three of our guides, got into shielded APCs and drove. Something-something... They got back a week later... 12 people on a trashed APC. They came to the thorn at the Dark Forest, and there they were already awaited... hy marauders... Yeah... They didn't care where those people came from... They got almost all of them. Only three got out of the perimeter, two of ours and one egghead. The man gone nut after those impressions. Well, he was quickly put in the mental hospital. Now he's writing a book about the Zone. Ours is all right. Experience helped. Although... one went to Radar and disappeared, and the other went to the Big Land. And the rest were taken by the Zone. Have you heard about the City-32? That's where they ended up...
I’m sorry but I don’t know ask in technical
Never banned a person for that, I doubt Crimson or Slyth have either since they use the term for the jokes, and Edillon can't ban, sooo
If you remember ± when it was, maybe I could figure out what really happened
McCulkin does
hi 👋 anyone here play zona alfa?
Hi, do we know if stalker 2 will be available for the PC via game pass ultimate?
This gamepass thingie is hard for me to comment on since idk too much about it, but we know that it will be on gamepass on day one
I imagine if the ultimate version is better, then probably that too
My information might well be of use to you, stalker.
Come over here, I've always got something interesting for people like you.
Snitch
still alive? that's great
Is stalker popular in Armenia?
Not sure, why?
The latest announcement got a lot of reply’s with Armenian flags along with ones from chezslovokia and Sudan
It’s popular in eastern counties, that’s about all I know
there's this guy that left the server because of horrible mods and complain to me about it

i see mods are ok
“chezslovokia” doesn't exist
EN mods?
Agreed gajunas and crimson have been a great help
If I may know, who is it ?
RU mods are a lot less forgiving
I mean Slovakia
the marked one
People spam random flags
i don't think you remember him
Why?
It's just a thing every Discord does when a big announcement or @ happens. People just react with random emojis
Oh
Depending on when he last spoke here, I might. Name sounds familiar but at the same time I've seen many people with it
Well, good luck to him I guess
What's his full Discord name/tag? I wanna see if I remember him through some older messages
@finite dragon
the marked one#5285
Thank you
Lol
I don't see how we could've managed to annoy him, doesn't seem like he was angry here at all. Weird
Hol on
Zax he already got it
Oh, okay
I've chatted with the fella the other day
Glorious rant on why he wouldn't run ST2
Bruh my pc can’t run S2
No big deal
I have a buddy who has a pc capable of it, and he’s gonna get the game
hey uhh, should i play STALKER lost Alpha? not really a first playthrough, but i havent complete the SoC
nononono
do not play lost alpha till you complete the main stalker story
lost alpha is a fanfiction
in fact, finish playing SoC before playing any mod/fan game at all
and try to finish CS and CoP too but its not as important
is it that serious?, aight im playin SoC LESS GOO
yeah just finish SoC and then you do whatever the heck you want
CS and CoP are just as important 
you need to master the bandit language first and then you can do whatever you want
what's the consensus around here for play order of the trilogy? I heard (from a certain youtuber) to play CS last because it's a buggy mess(?) but I gather it's recommended to play in order?
play CS last because it's a buggy mess(?
Jfc, no
The recommended order is
SoC>CS>CoP
Saying CS is a buggy mess is like ignoring every bug in SoC 
Sseth out here leaving a trail of frustrated game fandoms in his wake
Sseth straight up not even playing CS
Sseth also said the difficulty myth in his review so yeah
Dude opened the tutorial and closed it there, no way he played more than 3h of it lmao
The one video i don't like from him
Don't listen to people like him
The best way is to play in order release
difficulty myth? I've been playing on master and it seems about right to me, and I'm not really a shooter guy.
what's the myth/debunk?
Some people say that the higher the difficulty, the more damage you cause
But it's not right
hm, it certainly seems they die quicker and with less bullets. power of suggestion?
More like placebo
welp. more egg on my face lol
if you like to suffer then go ahead play on novice
I just bought call of pipryat, should I play it vanilla or is there any mods to fix bugs?
Nice, ok then
lmao that dude accidentally sent me hentai
he wanted me to add him then acted really weird
i ended up blocking him

Is this your first time with the series?
that about summed up my reaction to it
@simple basalt really
CoP is easily the least buggy
god i hope stalker 2 wont be like any other fps game
ok
ok he complains about mods being an arsehole
it is an official discord 🤷
not much bs can be permitted and its for a good reason
the way he talks very weird
english could also not be his first language
Seriously though what could we have even done to him, literally none of us punished him for anything lmao
ik that's the funny part
There's practically 3 of us
idk the dude was only in here for like a day or two
i wouldn't read into it
he left on his own 🤷
No, I played soc and cs weeks ago, now I playing cop.
I met the stalker series just because I liked metro exodus and I want something similar
nice
Well i liked post apocalyptic games and i found stalker. totally didn't regret it
I had just finished F:NV and tried Metro 2033 until I caught a sale on SoC. Couldn't really get into Metro, not sure why. It felt unresponsive? I liked the worldbuilding though, like the ammo as currency thing.
the thing with metro is if you stop playing it's hard to get back into
I didn't like Metro too much, but only played Last Light, defo like Stalker a lot more
stalker is less linear so it's easier to get into imo
play 2033 first
fallout 1 and 2 are great games everything that came from Bethesda is bad
so just 4 and 76...
After playing LL, my "motivation" for 2033 is pmuch not existent
Yes, stalker is way better. I only liked metro because of the story
yikes
Damn
redux?
Normal 2033
Will pass
and there's a significant difference
np
Metro's story is alright, but i'm not a fan of the linearity or the setting in general
Think I agree with Rebel
i thought fallout 3 is a good game. turns out i was wrong and then i found stalker
Got out of the Market with Burbon atm, just feels like a 1 way line through everything atm
yep
Metro is a linear version of Clear Sky 
oof
story is much better imo but everyone has an opinion
i liked the characters in metro
the fact that metro is also made by gsc people
a few i think
Haven't played 3, but I really liked NV for its roleplaying and build options
yes
4 and 3 are hard to like
3 has bad gameplay and bad story
Where's my dad?
nv has great story, atmposphere, and world building and decent gameplay
h
not sure
still not back from the trip to the market?
oh lmao
i feel like there will be lol
Pripyat?
we have been to pripyat many times. this time there must be a city map
Even the surface levels feel like that sometimes
We've never been to a full Pripyat
We've always had it carved up or restricted
imagine if there was a whole, full map of pripyat
like, if you could go into every room of every house and fully explore the city
you use Google map?
There's still some good bits left out, and I imagine we will see way more of it this time
This isn't mine
is S2 going to have maps or is that nda?
Maps like a map item you can use to see the world or?
well ik that
I imagine 1 map/world then
ah i see
Unless an exception to going down a really big underground section or something
Actually that would be pretty cool, the entire map but also underground
i've played open world games with multiple maps so i asked
yeah
Could you name some?
let me think
i vaguely recall them
oh i remember
what i meant was like going into a building going to make a loading screen
think like fo4, or any open world game from say 5 years ago and further
Ah yea ik what you mean then
almost all open world games have it
Might be like that depending on how many buildings you can enter ig
it would take a long time to load in
if it's all in one
rdr2 seemed to have loading in real time done very well
with new high res textures it just seems very improbable
being the expected size of the game
An example of an "open world" game where you could enter any building in the city without loading screens would be Deus Ex HR
The exploring there was pretty nice
There were only loading screen in the main quests, you could explore the city you were in freely to do the side quests
Idk it looked fine to me
not the look
Oh nvm misread
file size i mean
idk i can't fathom doing it from a technical perspective
Fathom?
fath·om: understand (a difficult problem or an enigmatic person) after much thought.
Oh alright
np
Alifes gonna melt down 
Anyone know what this 3 month exclusivity is about? when devs said no plans for a playstation version? is it 3 months later on PC ?
It will release in Xbox and PC at the same time
Iirc the exclusivity is about that there won't be a PS port atleast 3 months after release
Not sure about that last thing tho
will I still be welcome in the duty-controlled bar area if I join freedom?
breaks as in makes it too easy?
No, as in buggy mess
As in sorta better to not do that
It was a cut feature right?
Outdated document with nothing to seriously back it up. Only rumors, nothing more
Disregard anything not posted by GSC
Idk for sure, something somewhere somehow 
but doing jobs for their guys is fine yeah?
Ah yeah that's fine
guys when i shoot at the enemy AI they doesnt fire back whats the problem? (no AI addons)
they dont even care
what game/mod
fixed it
E3 will be the 12 and 15 of June, do u guys think we’ll see stalker 2 gameplay?
Can only hope
In the teeth video they said they’ll show gameplay this year and from what I’ve been investigating it seems that it’ll launch this year
But nothing is for sure, so yeah, one can only hope
Duty heresy
uh huh
I sure hope so
I just recently got into stalker games
And I've been playing only stalker for 2 months straight
I was thinking of preordering stalker 2
I don’t think preordering is a good idea personally
best to see how the game is on launch and go from there
I wouldn't preorder but I think gsc deserves my money
I have not felt this bad for whole week! Beware, everyone!
What’s last stand?
Anyone know how to fix this problem i'm having?
The game keeps failing to launch
It was working fine a couple days ago and now it's just not working
i've uninstalled the game, verified files
On steam?
launch as administrator?
how do i do that via steam?
Do you have a shortcut on your desktop
For stalker
right click -> launch as administrator
Alternatively, you could try running steam as administrator, and then launching stalker from your library
So I was reading the wiki and found this
In early 2002, it was planned for the blind dogs to be an intelligent, sapient race that evolved extremely quickly due to the Monolith evolutionary module.
The blind dogs were to declare a "holy war" against all of human kind and were preparing an invasion of human lands. They were supposed to be led by 'shamans' and were supposed to eat narcotic mutagenic grass to increase their strength. The player was supposed to fight a blind dog warrior somewhere in the game and was supposed to be given a task by the blind dog leader to destroy the dwarves in X18. They also were to have minor psionic abilities.
Is this true or someone trolling?
Idiocy...
So it is a troll well at least now the wiki can be fixed
The anomaly mod is very unique
it doesn't let me run as administrator via desktop
Yeah. Unique as Fifa games.
Not really
The repair system is a pain in the ass
And everything is severely inflated in price
Except armor
Tons of useless mechanics.
Like what?
Dissasemble of weapons, craft.
Unoptimized?
Especially on custom maps
My graphics card is literally a quarter of an inch thick and runs it smoothly
Companion system realized very dumb
Your companion is even dumber than your enemy
Anomaly is overrated.
hi
At this point im convinced i don't get the privellage to play stalker soc
I've done so many different things and it still doesn't work
I’m sorry Quantum I wish I knew how to help
Wait year switching versions might fix it
can someone explain monolith
what?
oh
and I warn you that the monolith are strong
they can literally tank a full mag of vss with the best ammo type in the sarcophagus
atleast that was what I exprienced
Because they are
you can find their bio in pda
go to the encyclopedia
I don't get how it works tho cuz I discover multiple artifacts but it didn't register in it
Also did wolf die
by the campfire
Exaplain monolith as in what, think of them as the zone white cells
If you really want to know in detail go to wikis and maybe play clear sky
Is there any more info on the Sin faction or is it just... there existing
I haven't paid attention to reading nearly anything the NPC's have told me though
Same with Renegades
No clue of either
Sin: cut faction of creepy Dark Stalker guys
That's about it
Renegades: unlike Bandits, they don't just rob people, they straight up kill them whenever and wherever possible
Bandits typically only rob people (obviously gameplay says otherwise, but yea), whilst Renegades kill 24/7
But Forester survived 🤔
I have no idea how he's alive in the Zone anymore, magic man
Does he know it better than Chimera the Ugly though 😏
Forester is just hardcore survivalist

Probably hunts chimeras with a knife
Can tell when emissions happen from licking trees or something
Oh, thanks for the info @tired anvil
I'm now a tiny tad smarter
forester a.k.a true first stalker
year switching?
where would i find a mod for a patch? it might work but idk
hey guys
think about it:
why not use a long pole in the zone to detect and trigger anomalies?
use it almost like a walking stick for blind people
Depending on the Anomaly, it can be worse than the bolt
gets sucked in with the pole
Depending on the power, might not react quick enough for that
Or put down a Pole there 
but switching between a pole and bolt is very clever
imagine using an iron pole for electrical anomalies, and a wooden one for scorching ones.
pole choice, next gen crap right here

Go into steam find shadow of Chernobyl press the gear on the right next to the I and star icon go to properties then go to betas and select one
Bruh, for some reason, Yar of Freedom base in CS let me upgrade my gear while having insufficient money and ended up with negative 30k rubbles.
Then i went to the location for the task of following Fang, which is in the back of Flea Market
There was a small door
Went inside and got knocked by 2 bandits
bruh
And what happened is that they will steal your gear
And money
But for some reason, i lost the negative 30k

lmao
that's an old glitch
Hey there
I saw a vid of it
it's basically the game giving you minus money then it tries to decrease money
and the game just freaks out
I think you get the money limit amount doing that
Have you guys played pripyat with misery?
Hmm it's my first time playing and decided to go with misery but I need a map:/
Your first time with the series or just Pripyat?
Idk how to get a map ingame since minimap is
Sergius es
Misery has no minimap
First play in the series @tired anvil
Oh boy

Had no idea we're in 2016
you're bout to witness the wrath of the server
Nah, SurDno isn't here 
You might want to start the game without a mod like Misery though
hides
kk 
And Shadow of Chernobyl or Clear Sky, as playing CoP first generally makes the least sense
Only in CS, right? I never observed it in SC or COP
Yeah
I see. CS being buggiest.
I often play all games hardcore, like it that way
Even with skyrim I couldn't play it without requiem
Or Rome 2 without dei
Pass Clear Sky on Master first 
With realism mods
CoP is the easiest game 
Well, there's a difference between realism and just bullcrap
No Rome 2 realism mods
First please tell me how to get a map I don't even know what the hell I'm doing and these radioactive rainstorms literally kill:/
COP is pretty easy
Just bought a pda but idk how to use it
but tbh I played on stalker mode
I literally emptied so many ft200m mags to a chimera and he just died after I slice him once
I hope stalker 2 gets a lot of bug testing
Press P
What the hell I pressed all the keys before and nothing happened
Feel like an idiot :/
Thank u mate
the best way to play your first time is always vanilla
go to menu and find keybinds
Misery seems different from vanilla like really different
I never play vanilla when there are mods:/
I was talking about the chimera in my playthrough
With no game
👊
Here’s a huge tip for new comers don’t kill any character with only a first name they are often important in quests and the quest will break if you kill them

Well at least you can get them working so enjoy them
Ok I swear characters randomly dying in shadow of Chernobyl is a glitch
No no, everything is fine 🥲
Nah for real though, idk how to help you with Misery much
I'm more of a vanillafag
do you find them in campfires
I can only really help regarding the basics of the game and maybe some missions
Will this be console exclusive for 3 months?
Honestly these games were designed to be nodded and that's the best part
Do not believe the document you recently saw
cough x-ray engine...
Bruh
Total war games
Elder scrolls
Men of War
And...
Thags why I love them
xray
This play through two people have died in rostok when there is no way a monster or other character can kill them I’ve also seen two people die at Bes camp with no bandits around
Why'd they lie on record tho?
because I've encountered mutants there
lots of pseudodogs
I have no idea for the rostok one
wait where did they die in rostok and what faction
It's an outdated document from 2020 that was nothing more than speculations from Microsoft
It couldn’t be mutants there was no corpses of the mutants and one dead stalker was in a fire barrel at rostok two loners have died at the campfires
You can even see the release of Halo being November of 2020 on the document, which is not true
So it's outdated and with false information + speculations
RIP they burned
wolf barbeque
No the rostok loners where in front of the campfires
did wolf become a BBQ btw
they can sometimes burn for being too close despite not directly in it
pretty sure
Check screens and videos
I just realised
A MASSIVE PROBLEM
@tired anvil
Let's say, hypothetically, the gameplay trailer comes out during E3
I really hope you read my instructions on how to access the screenshot folder
It's going to come out during the xbox conference 100%
The gameplay will be on Xbox
How on earth would that be a god damn massive problem?
Everyone will go crazy and cry that "muh dumbed down stalkurrr on consoles waaah"
what

PC and Console versions are different 😎
So it won't be
But during the xbox conference we will definetly get xbox footage
And believe me how everyone will cry
They already cried because of the outdated document

shut up, i'm gonna play stalker 2 with the wii remote
I swear, the intelligence of the stalker fanbase is absolutely dismal

Gotta annoy the CMs again
Tbh thought this one was obvious, it would be shocking if there wasn't
Gotta say though
There will always be something to be pissed about, there's too much of a divided community
Like SurDno is mad about the non-mirrored guns, others love them
Some will hate it because it's not Anomaly 2.0 or w.e
Impossible to please everyone, but I'll still fanboy and buy it 
if only I can run it
mirrored guns? quickly elaborate for me?
Half of SurDno's arguments are memes anyways. He really enjoys the base games, but you shouldn't take his more stupid arguments at face value
He is an MVP when it comes to the old games
just flipped weapons? is that hard to implement though? 🤔
i once played counter strike on flipped view model and it felt kinda weird.
I'm aware Billy, but I'm just saying that there will always be something to dislike
Well, it's not the view model, rather the model of the gun, but yea
ah well
Left-handed weapons are good. You don't get it 😡
You mean left handed?
yes
I'm right handed and prefer it that way
I played Counter Strike with left-handed view many times and it always felt weird
But the fun thing is, I was better that way
For some reason..
But I always had the feeling that the screen is empty somehow lol
Can't really find the words to describe the feel
it felt weird, and i could not aim properly.
Was better for me personally
It's all about preference
