Is there a way to increase mouse sensitivity in menus for Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl

For menus probably only way is to increase windows mouse sensitivity, or up the DPI if you can.

No, not the Tark

Tark is a horse that was made by a fan for SoC. I'm talking about actual deer from S2 2011

ok i wonder. Do you get anything from giving Cardan booze in call of pripyat?

#

Does military faction use Viper 5? Or purely AK74u at lowest ranking soldiers?

timid trail
#

I saw the images in High resolution and i think they are pretty stunning. But I’m still waiting for a long gameplay who shows more details of the game. Keep it up guys!

finite dragon
timid trail
finite dragon
#

yep, the famous MP5

tiny olive
#

Hmmm. I see. So most Viper smuggled are from different sources

finite dragon
#

fun fact: if you use a command console to add the weapon to you inventory you have to type wpn_mp5

long harbor
#

it feels like using a pea shooter

scenic gulch
#

I bet I can take a bloodsucker

finite dragon
#

hey guys, so im new to stalker and i am currently playing stalker SoC. Should i join freedom or duty?

scenic gulch
#

Freedom is the only faction you can actually join, and it requires you to do a very specific sequence of events

finite dragon
#

can i still steal the bulldog 6 weapon and get a reward for that and then still be able to join freedom?

scenic gulch
#

Depends on whether you actually want to be in Freedom. If you just want to play the game the way it was intended, don’t try to join Freedom, as you won’t be able to enter Rostok (Duty territory) because they will become hostile to you

#

Basically, joining Freedom limits your options and makes the game a bit harder

finite dragon
#

oh

#

well nvm then, im playing SoC for the first time so i guess ill got the intended way first

scenic gulch
#

You technically aren’t able to join any Factions, Freedom just slipped into the final game by accident

slim verge
#

So is it better to play the OG stalker games themselves or the anomaly mod? I played anomaly and liked it so i wasnt sure if buying the base games was worth it. Opinions?

vernal magnet
fallen zinc
#

looking at the map of pripyat does it even have any anomilies?

tiny olive
#

Kinda odd to ask this but.

If the swamps has deeper bodies of water, and there are boats in S.T.A.L.K.E.R, what's the most possible type of boat that will be used?

I have seen some wrecked boats in the games, but i don't know what kind of boats are them in terms of terminology.

#

Does the physical ultimate edition have a key to activate on steam? Or will it be an actual disk...

finite dragon
#

Key activate to steam I think

balmy forum

that makes sense

Steam key, yea

#

That's good cause I too have bought the ultimate edition from Amazon but it says "PC DVD" in the title for some reason, even tho the box art says PC digital download

crimson tinsel
#

I remember finding Viper 5 that used PM ammo

crimson tinsel
#

Not much of a threat but waste of ammo

#

5.45 Tunder comes in handy for such situation however since the AK ammo is abundant

#

Condensed Milk is on our side, you are done for zak

#

The il86 while it sucks under like 73% percent durability it’s fun over and assuming it’s not SoC it’s decent when modified

finite dragon

#

You think military utilized boats for mobilization? Or purely BTR?

#

Also is BTR amphibious?

finite dragon
#

Hard to tell honestly, they could use boats at some point. And for BTR yes it is amphibious.

crimson tinsel
#

Im monke

finite dragon
#

congrats

crimson tinsel
#

Oo ooo oo

#

Having naval forces in the zone would be problematic

#

Since anomalies are particularly dangerous to the ships

#

And since blowouts happen frequently some anomalies might spawn inside

#

Or wherever the weak spot is

finite dragon
crimson tinsel
#

Hm

#

Nonetheless electras would dispatch the ships

#

Or the acid one

#

Anomalies in game aren't shown in true colors due to the limitations of the older games

#

They could be powerful enough to make boats jump and flip over for example

finite dragon
#

Imagine if an electro anomaly spawned in the skadovsk

crimson tinsel
#

That'd be uncool

finite dragon
#

Very

#

kardan would fix it

#

Poor beard would probably be called not so beard after

finite dragon

Condense anomaly into the flash artifact and feed gauss rifle with it

Yea

Kardan will do anything

As long as you have the cossacks

#

Anyone here played Autumn Aurora

#

And actually liked it

#

Because I'm coping and seething trying to enjoy it

#

On one hand I like the new guns and scenery

#

On the other hand lighting is bugged to hell and back, and drops your frames like crazy

#

And the color pallette is completely gone

#

Vanilla was full of color, and new the lighting just removes it all, so everything is completely dark

slim verge
#

So newb question but is the correct order to play the stalker games go soc, cs, cop?

#

Because since stalker 2 is releasing soon enough. i bought the og games. prior to that i only ever played anomaly mod but figure i should play the OG's in prep for the actual game release

#

Ah

vernal magnet

thats your bottleneck

finite dragon
#

It's a 6core tho

#

Or maybe I'm stupid

#

I didn't built this PC, my friend did

vernal magnet
#

like i said, stalker doesnt utilize multiple cores well. heavy single thread

finite dragon
#

Ohhhh

vernal magnet
#

its a limitation of the X-ray engine

novel elk
#

i imagine stalker 2 is going to be same with matrix awakens demo

finite dragon
#

Is there a way to change that?

vernal magnet
#

unfortunately. even my 9900k gets micro stutters when playing certain mods at extreme high details

#

tweaking graphics is key

novel elk
#

yeh mind setting

vernal magnet
#

my advice to you, turn the grass density and distance down

finite dragon
#

So what you recommend graphics settings?

vernal magnet
#

grass height is also a killer in certain mods

novel elk
#

i would just tuned down medium setting its enough for me enjoy my games

finite dragon
#

Like Midway or all the way down

finite dragon
novel elk
#

mind gaps on setting, grass like tommy saying is also factors that hurt performance alot.

#

shadows is one of them if you have medium end rig

finite dragon
#

It's 1:50 am where I am and I'm pumped up on pre-work out because I'm totally not mentally deficient so ima hop on

#

Yeah, mine is probably mid

#

But

novel elk
#

unreal engine is very stable in certain game tho.

finite dragon
#

Whenever I change lighting distance or shadows the settings don't save@vernal magnet

#

Only when I have AA2 installed

#

It prevents me from saving those specific settings

vernal magnet
#

sounds like the config file has its permissions set to "read only" for whatever reason

finite dragon
#

How do I change that

novel elk
#

lol its funny how dead rising is the most demanding game lol.

vernal magnet
#

well first let me ask, when you change your settings, your hitting Apply right? not just hitting the ESC key?

finite dragon
#

Yes

#

I hit apply

#

The other settings for view distance and grass density save

#

Nothing else does

#

Also maybe I should mention I'm using full dynamic lighting without ENB

#

The enb was bugged and it made walls transparent

novel elk
#

certain enb or reshade relied on texture dependencies

finite dragon
#

What does that mean?

#

Again sorry I have no idea what most PC terms are

#

I just came back from 8 years of console gaming

novel elk
#

usually when it comes transparent texture its an error triggered elsewhere, always read description if it doesn't have anything then its your control panel have transparency setting on.

finite dragon
#

So how do I fix that

novel elk
finite dragon
#

That's in control panel?

novel elk
#

3 setting AA-mode , AA- setting , AA-transparency

#

yeah

#

if its still transparent you can force disable it on nvidia inspector

finite dragon
#

I usually keep AA off for the sake of my frames

#

I don't mind low resolutions

#

I've played games in 540p

finite dragon
#

R9 380

novel elk

#

Also I can't turn off transparency in amd settings

#

I right click, so I click display settings?

#

Idk how to turn off transparency

novel elk

usually when it comes to amd just put your shader setting optimized

finite dragon
#

I'm not given the option to open control panel when I right click

But what can you do, an average dutier's IQ is below the 50s

The average Duty is a rookie Stalker.

The more experienced ones are remnants of the Ukrainian Military and Spetznaz teams that got caught up in it all from the first scorcher

Wards? For me they look like combination of Neutrals and Mercs

#

Neutrals for caring about loners, protecting from bandits and mercs for the equipment and training.

#

Or neutrals and clear sky, idk

finite dragon
#

Hello, guys there will be some beta maybe? Or early access ? :D

coarse reef
#

it's a singleplayer game so probably not

tired anvil
#

Any testing was already done in the studio a while ago from what I remember

finite dragon
#

Some single player games had EA. Like ghostrunner

tired anvil
#

Some games need it more than others. What exactly would you test for a stalker title other than search for bugs peepoThink

finite dragon
#

Well bugs :D and it could be playable as trial for example. To see what we can expect in full release. Maybe i just want to walk in zone and just explore it in better graphics and stuff xD i guess I'm too much hyped...

tired anvil

5 months left)

finite dragon

Yea... It's a lot of time :D

graceful lake
#

quick question, what did Strelok become head of after CoP? My game ending started to say but just cut off for no reason and went to the next slide

#

It kept doing that actually, was infuriating lol

coarse reef
#

There are no bugs in stalker, just anomalies

#

clipped through the ground? That's an anomaly

tired anvil

Scientific Institute of Research of the Chernobyl Anomalous Area

So, I wonder how do I apply cheat codes in stalker shadow of chernobyl (since Im trying to apply the immortality cheat code)?

finite dragon
#

-_-

pseudo rivet
sonic rampart
#

No cheats in any stalker game

#

Besides the Demo_record command, if you could even call it a cheat

runic sequoia
#

Nice to see you recover from the hack so quick

Ah, nice

Sorry about that

prisma goblet

Not a bot anymore

No my fault

#

Tell me GSC wasn’t chilling one day in the conference room like, how do we make Duty less hate able ? snaps fingers make clear sky cross with duty and bang, Ward

pseudo rivet
#

It's honestly just a Duty clone with a Freedom mindset

#

Personally, I think it's kinda wack

vernal magnet
#

Teeny bit of freedom, mostly clear sky

tired anvil
#

Remember that CoP ending where some members of both Duty and Freedom slowly left zak

vernal magnet
#

They are lawmen

tired anvil
#

They goofy

pseudo rivet
#

I still don't see how it's Clear Sky

vernal magnet
#

Seems like a lot of the mercs might have moved over to Ward in the years gone by

vernal magnet
pseudo rivet
#

Same with Freedom

sonic rampart
#

Do we know which ending slide from CoP is canon for the mercs?

pseudo rivet
#

Nope

vernal magnet
#

But they don’t research the zone themselves they mostly do drugs and fight

tired anvil
pseudo rivet
#

Okay

#

Okay

vernal magnet
#

Freedom advocates for those who intend to do research

pseudo rivet
#

It's honestly a combination of Duty with a Freedom / Clear Sky mindset

#

Freedom does do research

still ridge
#

they have a clear sky grindset

pseudo rivet
#

Check out CS' dialogue

#

Heck

still ridge
#

They have a duty grindset and a CS mindset

sonic rampart
#

Wonder if Lukash, Chekhov and Loki will return

vernal magnet
pseudo rivet
#

It's discount Duty with both a Freedom and Clear Sky mindset

vernal magnet
#

Compared to Niichaz freedom research is negligible

pseudo rivet
#

Not even Clear Sky

#

They want to control the Zone

vernal magnet
#

Clear sky is the dead sky now

tired anvil
vernal magnet
#

But I’m not surprised someone like Ward would carry clear sky’s torch so to speak

sonic rampart
#

Yeah Mikluha too

vernal magnet
pseudo rivet
#

Okay, so

sonic rampart
#

I doubt i'll like them

still ridge
#

Wack

pseudo rivet
#

They want to police the Zone, like Duty

sonic rampart
#

Freedom all the way

still ridge
#

yeah nobody will

finite dragon
#

Help mods

still ridge
pseudo rivet
#

They want to use scientific knowledge to help mankind, like Freedom

finite dragon
#

some one is advertising in my dms

pseudo rivet
#

They want to control the Zone, like nobody

still ridge
#

DM crimson

pseudo rivet
vernal magnet
#

Freedom always best but I’m curious about Ward. It seems their policing is in direct opposition to bandits primarily

tired anvil
sonic rampart
#

I wonder how policing the zone works

tired anvil
#

Discord literally gives you the option to report for spam

sonic rampart
#

Do they have K9 units?

#

Heh

tired anvil
still ridge
#

I bet you’ll get along with them initially and then they pull some wacky stuff and then you start shooting

sonic rampart
vernal magnet
#

Years have gone by, bandits may be emboldened and built up with Ward being a natural answer to that development

tired anvil
#

It's gonna be the Brotherhood of Steel and I don't even play fallout

pseudo rivet
sonic rampart
#

Yeah, Duty is wack

pseudo rivet
still ridge
#

well, duty was corrupt

finite dragon
#

Thanks smiss for banning him

sonic rampart
#

Their ideology is wack

finite dragon
#

rad mods B)

pseudo rivet
#

No worries

vernal magnet
pseudo rivet
still ridge
finite dragon
pseudo rivet
#

It polices the Zone like Duty

open lintel
#

or it's the order :p

pseudo rivet
#

It wants to use science to help humanity, like Freedom

tired anvil
#

Order of what

open lintel
#

from metro

pseudo rivet
#

And it wants to control the Zone, like Sean

tired anvil
#

Oh

vernal magnet
pseudo rivet
pseudo rivet
#

Ward is going to die by my hands

sonic rampart
#

Yeah, I am gonna help Crimson

pseudo rivet
vernal magnet
#

Ward is definitely gonna catch these hands

pseudo rivet
open lintel
#

I would like to kill them all personally and take their stuff

#

(i know)

vernal magnet
#

Ward be like yo you want one of our cool jackets?…….ok let’s talk

pseudo rivet
#

It's not even cool

#

None of the outfits in S.T.2 are

#

Way too tacticool

#

No function

#

Only fashion

open lintel
#

I am slightly shocked they would add something of a "police style" faction tbh

pseudo rivet
#

Duty already exists, Sean

tired anvil
#

I'm not

open lintel
#

the ward was not what I had in mind

tired anvil
#

But that outfit. It ain't Halo

still ridge
#

Trenchcoat boutta be fresh

tired anvil
#

Plus, a faction about guards, aka Ward, has been known for months now

pseudo rivet
#

Years, in fact

#

It's called Duty

tired anvil
#

aka Ward

pseudo rivet
#

That or Bandits

#

They also B guardin'

tired anvil
#

I'm talking specifically about Ward rn

open lintel
#

well, I mean regardless of the information available, I mean more so in what I had expected from the zone

still ridge
#

S2 original plot had more duty policing

#

and getting into bar fights with freedom

sonic rampart
#

S2 original plot is wack

still ridge
#

One of them more so

tired anvil
#

I don't even recall that from the S2 original plot, neither of them

open lintel
#

bar fights? You'd think both factions would like to stick a knife btwn each others shoulderblades

#

or maybe some 9mm hehe

pseudo rivet
#

They didn't in CoP, so kek?

sonic rampart
#

It was a temporary truce tho

open lintel
#

yeah that was funny that they had that half this place is mine, half is yours thing at yanov

sonic rampart
#

Only inside Yanov station too

vernal magnet
pseudo rivet
#

Sure, because original gear is kewl as heck

pseudo rivet
#

HoC gear is wack

still ridge
pseudo rivet
#

Trenchcoat boutta be fresh

still ridge
#

SEVA could be cool

sonic rampart
#

I hope they re-do some of the old character designs

still ridge
#

could be tacticool too…

pseudo rivet
#

Have you seen the SSP-99 Eco Suits though?

still ridge
#

strelok but they hire the guy who was used as a model for him

vernal magnet
#

To be fair of course tactical gear is going to be present. GSC could never do this LOD back in the day.

pseudo rivet
#

They look trash

still ridge
#

We haven’t

open lintel
#

I want plz

pseudo rivet
#

The new ones

still ridge
#

no

open lintel
#

:(

sonic rampart
#

Ah yeah, the new SSP suits look pretty bad

open lintel
#

I was really hoping for something along those lines xd

still ridge
pseudo rivet
#

Concept art

vernal magnet
#

I’m expecting new and old mixed together. And outfit adjustments closer to release

still ridge
pseudo rivet
#

Old

#

We also got new one

still ridge
#

that’s the one I’m concerned about

sonic rampart
#

I wonder how the Psy dog will fit in the game when the deer is literally the same mutant but stronger

still ridge
#

Remove it

pseudo rivet
#

At least, Proam sent it to me

still ridge
#

and not the psuedodog

pseudo rivet
#

Not sure if it's real or not, since I haven't done research yet

vernal magnet
still ridge
pseudo rivet
#

True that

vernal magnet
#

And armor plating means it’s not a quick kill

still ridge
#

yeah I sincerely think thats not real

pseudo rivet
still ridge
#

I hope at least

pseudo rivet
#

They better not

sonic rampart
vernal magnet
#

Expect the monsters to all have new balancing

still ridge
vernal magnet
still ridge
#

if not the psydog, what?

sonic rampart
pseudo rivet
#

Nothing

sonic rampart
pseudo rivet
#

They shouldn't have removed any mutant

tired anvil
still ridge
#

I agree, but they said they removed one

#

Iirc

pseudo rivet
#

Yes

#

Huge mistake

sonic rampart
#

Imagine it's the snork

open lintel
#

whats cringe about outfit customization?

vernal magnet
#

All I really want now is the Tree mutant to come back.

tired anvil
vernal magnet
#

He was the coolest

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah, think so to

vernal magnet
pseudo rivet
open lintel
#

that answers nothing

vernal magnet
#

Unless the customization is functional for weight to item carrying balance or whatever

open lintel
#

lol

pseudo rivet
#

Most of the suits are made specifically to survive the Zone

tired anvil
tired anvil
tired anvil
#

Unless more communication errors happened, it's confirmed to not happen

open lintel
#

idk about going around as a scientist looking like a pink condom in a swamp

#

but

sonic rampart
#

Doubt they will be returning to old stalker designs

open lintel
#

I was thinking more or less, smaller stuff

sonic rampart
#

besides the deer

tired anvil
#

I don't

open lintel
#

less.. wacky stuff

still ridge
tired anvil
#

Poppy field was another old design thing I think

still ridge
#

If you ask me

tired anvil
#

You or Sean said this at least once before but at least link a source please

#

I honestly don't remember them saying that at all

open lintel
#

yes, I don't remember where either ngl

tired anvil
#

It's like the difficulty myth where someone made it up and now it's spreading

still ridge
open lintel
#

I believe it was when one of the gsc people said something like "not all gonna return" or something

#

yeah same

tired anvil
#

Idk, screenie would be great whenever possible

pseudo rivet
#

Aye

tired anvil
#

Afaik they only said no to tree boy

pseudo rivet
still ridge
tired anvil
#

Yes

sonic rampart
#

Good riddance i say

#

Looks like a fallout enemy

pseudo rivet
#

I dunno, bro

#

I'd like to see a carnivorous Jigglypuff

still ridge
#

It was supposed to look like a tree when hiding

sonic rampart
#

Yeah, I know

open lintel
#

the more the merrier

pseudo rivet
#

Eh

#

Depends

sonic rampart
#

But still, it fit the old design better

open lintel
#

well when you have something that big, in games they either move too slow or too fast

pseudo rivet
#

Solution

tired anvil
#

This thing wasn't much for moving

pseudo rivet
#

It's the last thing you'll never see

tired anvil
#

Made you sleepy

#

And was to appear like twice in game

#

Rarer mutant like Pyrogeist for example

open lintel
#

oh I see well yeah, that could be a pretty good use of them

sonic rampart
#

Pyrogeists are underappreciated

open lintel
#

but to see them so little, :o

pseudo rivet
#

They are canon, though

#

Just not seen in-game

#

Which I don't mind

tired anvil
pseudo rivet
#

If there's something you can't add, make it canon in the lore instead

tired anvil
#

(2 in 1 place counts as 1 encounter)

open lintel
#

probably like once or twice I would think, in vanilla?

still ridge
#

3

tired anvil
sonic rampart
#

Aren't there 5 burer encounters?

tired anvil
still ridge
#

Uhh

sonic rampart
#

2 in Yanov, 1 in pripyat and 1 in x-8

open lintel
#

man.. been a while since I played CoP vanilla but yeah prolly anywhere from 1-3 times

#

I remember one in the labs that's true

sonic rampart
#

There are 3 in the lab

pseudo rivet
#

There are plenty of them in the overworld

still ridge
#

2 separate occasions in X-8, the area under sokolov note, and the hunter mission where the train is

#

Iirc

#

And another in Pripyat

pseudo rivet
#

That's the one he just mentioned

sonic rampart
#

Oh whoops

still ridge
#

Is it? The mission given by trapper?

sonic rampart
#

Isn't he talking about the 2 burers you fight in that tunnel

still ridge
#

Yeah that’s what I’m talking about

pseudo rivet
#

Oh, that one

still ridge
#

unless that’s a gunslinger thing

pseudo rivet
#

Yeah

#

Nah

vernal magnet
#

Even if Tree guy doesn’t come back I’m still gonna support my tree dude he was a sick idea

pseudo rivet
#

He's still canon

vernal magnet
#

But poppy field and deer are definitely amazing

pseudo rivet
#

Eh

#

I guess?

still ridge
#

Can’t wait to see the new psuedogiant and chimera

#

If neither of them got cut…

pseudo rivet
#

I can't wait for them to actually fix the Bloodsucker

vernal magnet
pseudo rivet
#

Because this looks like trash

#

And this is chad

vernal magnet
still ridge
vernal magnet
#

I think the black of the eyes humanized it too much

brazen hemlock
#

Mmmm

finite dragon
#

it misses glowing eyes and looks like an angry nintendo fanatic

pseudo rivet
#

Even then, kinda meh

sonic rampart
#

I'd like to see if the poltergeist will have a body in HoC, if they return that is

pseudo rivet
vernal magnet
#

And the white eyeballs were helpful in tracking its movement cloaked

pseudo rivet
#

Yep

#

Now they just need to make them CS Bloodsuckers

sonic rampart
#

Marsh creatures?

pseudo rivet
#

Those were awesome

#

Nah, not Swamp Creatures

#

CS Bloodsuckers in general

native ibex
#

When we getting new mutants

pseudo rivet
#

Soon™️

tired anvil
#

You already got one

pseudo rivet

Already got a new one confirmed a couple of days ago

When the gameplay trailer drops smile_strelok

Is it the stag

Bone stag

vernal magnet

One enemy I’m glad got the axe was the Widow

It just didn’t jive with me. Reminded me of the witch from L4D

The deer

Everyone's talking about the non glowing eyes on the stalker 2 bloodsucker but...... That makes me even more scared

vernal magnet
pseudo rivet

It just looks goofy

#

Theyre COMPLETELY invisible nowkuznetsov

still ridge

that would be unoriginal

Especially with how cartoonish the eyes are

The glowing eyes gave them away when cloaked

I don't see how people can get scared of vidya games at all

Now we just straight up cant see them before they attack

brazen hemlock
still ridge
#

Yup

sonic rampart
#

I guess it was a trailer thing

elder fiber
#

So yea i wont be going out at night at all in stalker 2 lmao

pseudo rivet

Tension better than fear

sonic rampart
#

I doubt they will be like that in-game

still ridge
tired anvil
#

The only concept, from 2009

vernal magnet
sonic rampart
#

Ahh

pseudo rivet
#

It causes real fear

sonic rampart
#

I remember seeing this concept art

pseudo rivet
#

Factional fear

sonic rampart
#

Didn't know about the widow part tho

native ibex
#

We need anomalous porcupines

pseudo rivet
#

But yeah, they really should make them CS Bloodsuckers

still ridge
#

Don’t forget the rat dog thing

still ridge
#

grabbing someone and jumping 50 meters into the trees

pseudo rivet
#

Well, that's a Swamp Creature

native ibex
#

What about that never-used super bloodsucker? It had a name and everything.
Should use that.

I was talking about something different

CS Bloodsuckers don't take any damage when invisible
