[drifting galleon]

w8 wheres the suit.. i died 3 times to get here gdi

w8 wrong place lmao 😅

you have to get up there through Malachite building and walk on the pipes with springboard

good protection too, currently im using Conondrum suit, good physical prot but the 9l has better anomalous prot

[clear dawn]

YO DAWGS LEAVE ME ALONE

[fallen granite]

I wish we had access to the spark exoskeleton I really like the spark suits so I just make due with the diamond or or the 9l falcon

[clear dawn]

I know the dogs are blind, not deaf and to be fair I bursted through the door making a loud noise.

[fervent kettle]

Were you barking?

[clear dawn]

no 😂

I hope they fix the volumetric fog from rendering back in, its so visually unpleasing

you could turn it off but then the atmosphere loses its touch

sometimes it does look better with it off though, 🤔

[dawn flame]

Hello fellow stalkers, can you find all of the words in this word puzzle search?

[hollow sphinx]

Does anyone know where the key is?

[clear dawn]

done, i also found "zombie" and "stash" lol

[clear dawn]

YO im blind

[amber zealot]

no idea if thats the fourth word lol. but it sounds like someone's name

[clear dawn]

I found "SEV" and was hoping for "SEVA" but it was "SEVG" 😥

it was fun i even grabbed my mom to help me be a second pair of eyes

she loves these so I had to 😂

oh, my, god.

I TOOK THE SULTANS BRIEF CASE AND THIS DUDE HAS BEEN CHASING ME FOR 700 METERS, HE MUST REALLY WANT IT

BROS GOT A SNIPER SHOTGUN HE KEEPS HITTING ME WITH MINIMAL DAMAGE LMAO HEEEEEELP

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

leave me alone plz

[quiet heath]

I kept mine. Kept one of most things

[fervent kettle]

I think that's one you can get at from above, hard to remember. There's a ladder down the hall NW of your map point that accesses that overpass hall and a control room.

[hollow sphinx]

I searched every corner in this building, I suspect that a poltergeist threw it into the texture

[glacial pond]

Got my patch finally sewn on

[clear dawn]

bro follow me to the sultansk, the place was on high alert, and he despawned and the sultansk was no longer on lockdown, lmao

HE RANDOMLY DIED
💀 💀 💀 💀 💀

[glacial pond]

I'm taking it hiking tomorrow, might leave it somewhere for a lucky stalker to find

[clear dawn]

dude really followed me for 800+ meters to the sultansk just to die because i entered the blue circle safe area lmao

[glacial pond]

Whatcha talking about?

[clear dawn]

this guy followed me to steal the sultans briefcase from me

[glacial pond]

Couldn't you have just.. shot at him until he died?

[clear dawn]

i didnt want to, it was optional so i just ran away instead but he followed me the entire way lol
gotta love open world games

most of the time when running away the enemies dont follow so him following that long was very surprising he mustve really wanted that briefcase

ah i didnt know cause my first playthough sultan didnt exist 💀
buggy release week was horrible missing npcs

[glacial pond]

That was probably like, his life's goal or something. If he got it, he'd probably make enough to rebuild SIRCAA twice

[clear dawn]

yeaaah sultans little dishonest henchman attacked me too, little rat 🐀 he dead now

or atleast in my case, idk cause i ran for my life

[clear dawn]

bruh this zaton sultan/beard decision got me messed up

well im glad im finally able to experience this quests that never showed up 3 weeks ago 🥶

[clear dawn]

WOOOOOOOOOOOO

this boys club, no girls allowed 🤣

you don't get an achievement if you side with kalyna, that means her ending isnt canon 💀

wow she doesnt even improve the prices of selling artefacts to her either, screeeeew her LOL

she got replaced with a floating head

[bold magnet]

@quiet heath Not explicitly named but im pretty sure its supposed to be the same exact thing lol

[wintry pendant]

what the hell 😄

[fervent kettle]

Yeah screw Kalyna, she's trash to begin with.

[clear dawn]

this happened to me when i went into a gravity anomaly or something it sucked me under the map lmao

[clear dawn]

i know what happened, you got too much weight

[clear dawn]

YEAH NO GIRLS ON THE SKADOVSK

[wintry pendant]

yeah im constantly too heavy 😄 hoarders issues

[wintry pendant]

seems like skif was too heavy and made a gravity field for himself

[clear dawn]

I GOT TOO MANY MEDKITS IN MY STASH EEEEEEEE

[livid wraith]

Lmaooo I had this on the main quest post-SIRCAA when Skipper ambushes you on the way out of Noontide's base. tried running away but he followed me across half of the map

[clear dawn]

these npcs are no joke 💀

[wintry pendant]

176 on me ... 400+ in stash 😄 not to mention food for whole zone for a year that i will never eat 😄

[clear dawn]

bread and sausage for days 🤙

who got that one video?

[shrewd kernel]

Ya i guess it did not have a name before and they gave it one and made the importance's more clear.

[undone saffron]

guys isnt there suppost to be something here?! "An Act of Mercy" mission bugged i guess?

[limber yoke]

This game is just beautiful

[quiet heath]

That must be from clear sky

[valid stump]

can someone help me out? The artifact is simply not spawning or am i dumb?

dont mind the end

[keen mortar]

Anyone know where I can find this version of the freedom gear?

[undone saffron]

yeah im hoping a more patches comes out and fix it

[knotty ravine]

this reminds me of my bedroom!

[undone saffron]

are you ok?

[knotty ravine]

I need some new furniture

[clear dawn]

uh, can you not trap me with your squats bro

context: i picked up a grocery list and read it, i put it away and some dude trapped me with his squat corner 💀

honestly this is my first time seeing anybody from the ward doing the squat

😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄 😄

[turbid nymph]

https://youtu.be/wuGq0mJ9xZk - Any way I can get rid of these critters?

[clear dawn]

skif reuses his magazines 😭

on call of duty the old ones if you use console commands to change your fov you can see your character swoop the mag back where it came from infinitely reusing the same mag 😂

Am I reaching or is this an easter egg towards the 1980's book and '92 cartoons Funnybones?

[ocean leaf]

nice to meet you again, dunno why but you changed a little

[amber zealot]

what the hell dragens. working on a cursed mod or something?

[agile pendant]

? XD

[ocean leaf]

nah she just appeared that way. dunno if Ed is not giving her something to eat or if she just trained shoulder width

[delicate anvil]

new anomaly discovered, the ecologists will be interested with my findings

[amber zealot]

not a new anomaly. thats just a springboard in action in that 1 frame where it rips your head off the torso

[amber zealot]

@plush rain these are how my options are.

[plush rain]

Nope not even in the settings

[amber osprey]

Stamina regen or max physical protection?

[amber zealot]

@raw plover frame generation is nvidia. fsr is amd's option, thats available to all.

[tough fossil]

@amber zealot

[raw plover]

Yeah I think his problem was he was using FSR frame gen before and thinks it was dlss

[tough fossil]

Ah ok that's what dude meant

[amber zealot]

Guile. im gonna suspect that you are not having a genuine copy of stalker 2, on the account that my options menu looks different from yours, and its updated to the latest version. check the stalker-general chat 🙂
pirated copies tend to not update themselves 😉

and update 1.1.3 has dropped a while ago. everyone should be updated to it by now

[tough fossil]

You do realize GoG exists right? Check yourself before you start claiming shit

[amber zealot]

i know games from gog are easily pirated, so thats a pretty sus statement.

also, if you did buy it from gog, you would have gog galaxy, which would remind you that update 1.1.3 came out, and since no one likes a buggy experience with a game, the usual behavior is to update it to the latest version

[tough fossil]

eat shit pleb

[amber zealot]

cool 🙂 strange why dlss frame gen doesnt show up then in your options. i have an rtx 3080 myself, so our specs arnt that far apart. options available should be equal

[tough fossil]

No idea

[oblique rock]

@amber zealot not 100% sure if you can see it on a picture but the one of the water is what the blurry water looks like. This is with all high settings and DLAA on. The brighter picture is of the distant foilage and how it is blurry/blocky. I disabled Lumen to show it easier as its currently pretty dark

You can't really see it very well, it seems to be when in motion more than anything

[amber zealot]

Dark? Your freaking skybox is missing

[oblique rock]

I did that so you can see the distant trees easier lol

[amber zealot]

So, maybe motion blur is then not behaving correctly?

[oblique rock]

I have motion blur off. Its only foilage and water that is blurry, nothing else

[tough fossil]

Under graphics what are your water/reflection/foliage settings + upscaler?

Have you tried adjusting those values/changing upscalers?

[oblique rock]

not sure if this picture shows it any better or not. Currently everything is set to high with DOF low and motion blur disbled. Upscaler is DLAA

[amber zealot]

I dont know. Water looks fine.

[raw plover]

What's your gpu

[amber zealot]

3080 12g. So i cant use the option, but it still shows for me.

[raw plover]

Yeah I have a 3060 Ti and don't see the option, I did after I installed some random dlss to fsr mod from nexus

[tough fossil]

@oblique rock thats what my settings are at currently, not sure if this helps any

[raw plover]

Looks fine to me

[tough fossil]

@oblique rock can you get a clip of what you're seeing? Can use snipping tool to record a quick clip

[amber zealot]

There should also be a sharpness option somewhere. Maybe toy with that

Around 30% is enough for most people.

[oblique rock]

I will have a play with some more settings etc. Currently trying to fix another irrelevent frustrating bug lol

[turbid nymph]

Sharpness 44 🤮 - I use 12.

[raw plover]

Yeah 44 is a little high for me, I use 20 but I also have dlss on balanced and use a sharpening filter on my tv

[turbid nymph]

i think the max i have used is 24 - but i changed mine to 12 to match a mod im using.

[raw plover]

Some people do like that graininess look though

[turbid nymph]

Maybe i prefer it less sharp because im short-sighted 🤔

[tough fossil]

Honestly, it's set to that because I was testing something out and the sharpness didn't seem to really affect too much for me

[amber zealot]

@wintry pendant weird pot artifact

I seriously hate this chat delay ffs

[tough fossil]

And then 2 burers walk in

[tough fossil]

This is why Orange Fanta isn't welcome in the Zone

[turbid nymph]

[turbid nymph]

Looks more like Irn Bru !

[pure pumice]

I love playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. I have been playing it since launch and cannot wait to see how it develops in the future. The firefights in this game are quite fun and intense, but it really sucks when you get tunnel vision and don't pay attention to the noises around you.

[tough fossil]

@keen wharf doesnt look bad

[tough fossil]

?

[turbid nymph]

😦

[keen wharf]

i optimized it to work with a laptop gpu and 4gb vram

[tough fossil]

Right, which is probably why I'm not seeing a whole lot of difference on my end

[amber zealot]

a stairway that...has no purpose, lol.

the view is fabulous tho

this doesnt make sense. this area should be unreachable. why have climable stairs..

man, this is getting so freaking weird. i feel like im in the backrooms in some of these areas

i feel like this is an eastern egg or something

[pearl ginkgo]

I believe I have located the best named artifact in the game so far

and no i didn't have anything special turned on.........it showed up as this

[amber zealot]

a brain

[pearl ginkgo]

right.............lol

[amber zealot]

hmm. interesting. i found an area where i die even with my god mode

[pearl ginkgo]

have only found that with water so far

[amber zealot]

i found ben the gatekeeper. wtf.

a ward sniper. whats he doin up here...

this whole area starts to make less n less sense. its unreachable by normal means. yet there is so much stuff going on up here

cut content maybe...

[pearl ginkgo]

I believe some areas are intentional left undone for future use

[amber zealot]

can even find stashes up here

what does this mean..?

[livid wraith]

"don't shit, I am here" if I'm not mistaken lol

[amber zealot]

this is all very fishy...i feel like im close to something important here

i found a natural way to get up here. so you can get up here through normal means. through the scaffolding. the only difficult jump is when you need to reach a far away floor. but with some parkouring, its reachable

ben doesnt like having me around. he snipes me when i get close lol

[fallow parcel]

@wary kestrel

[amber zealot]

dude. windows 7. no longer supported. the graphics card is worse off than a gt 710 at this point.

[fallow parcel]

Its a custom build for 08. I have nicer PCs.

[polar nimbus]

waht do those have?

[amber zealot]

im not sure i follow. for 08? what does that mean?

[fallow parcel]

nicer ones have a 5900x and a 3090, 14900k and 4090.

[polar nimbus]

2008

[wary kestrel]

The real kings of intel are x58

[amber zealot]

14900k. did you apply the cpu patch? those cpu's literally tear themselves apart.

[fallow parcel]

This is essentially the nicest PC you could buy in 2008

[wary kestrel]

Intel peaked with x58

Gods chosen platform

6 cores 12 threads

[fallow parcel]

ur so real for that lmao

[wary kestrel]

Overclocks by over 1ghz on air

Can hit 5ghz on water with a little luck

[amber zealot]

hmm. my first custom pc had a core2quad q6600

[fallow parcel]

I just collect everything pc. Check the wall.

[polar nimbus]

a "little" "luck"

[wary kestrel]

Binning

Those cpus rip

Even today

Sr2 makes that very clear

12 cores 24 threads

[amber zealot]

i probably got that same case. on the right lol.

[wary kestrel]

I played bfv on that board at over 100fps on max settings

[fallow parcel]

#BringBackTylersburg

[wary kestrel]

Bring back dual socket overclocking

[fallow parcel]

thats what houses that 2008 pc.

[wary kestrel]

It was only with us for a short time but it made an impression to last a life time

The greatest thing evga ever made

[fallow parcel]

im just currently looking for a second 2gb 285 tbh

[amber zealot]

coolermaster h500 something

[polar nimbus]

get 4 of them

[fallow parcel]

board will only fit 2. Long story short, this is like one of the rarest boards of 08 thats a standard config.

[polar nimbus]

for a combined 8gb of VRAM

[wary kestrel]

I have 3

All evga red bars

[fallow parcel]

nice!

[wary kestrel]

I have a red gtx 295 too

That super rare evga card

[fallow parcel]

Yeah, im looking for a second one for the SLI

[wary kestrel]

They do 3 way sli

Unless you find the legendary classified 285

Those do 4 way

But there mythically rare

I’ve seen them for sale a grand total of 3 times ever

[polar nimbus]

PS : does crossfire work on RDNA 3 ?

[wary kestrel]

Nope

[fallow parcel]

Ehh, wasnt trying to hit overkill levels tbh. Im benching them on OG crysis, so one more would prolly solidify a solid constant 60+ frame rate

[wary kestrel]

Not that you’d want it to lol

Crossfire hasn’t been supported for like 10 years

[polar nimbus]

😀🙂😕🙁☹️😣😖😫😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😤😤😤😠😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬👺👺👺👺👺👺👺👺

[wary kestrel]

Crossfire always sucked for the most part

Except in like the late 2000s

Only time it was ever good

[wary kestrel]

Only in 2 way though

[polar nimbus]

still imagine hooking up 2 7900 XTX's

[wary kestrel]

To play 3d mark

[polar nimbus]

ye

[fallow parcel]

I have 2 sparkle 9800GTX+'s

[wary kestrel]

Rare birds

Sparkle cards are super rare

[polar nimbus]

great game

[wary kestrel]

Like late generation leadtek cards

[fallow parcel]

No idea what to even use em in, to be honest, theyre kinda just sitting around

[wary kestrel]

Leadtek was peak back in the day

Banished to make quadro for the rest of time

[fallow parcel]

might hang them on my wall

[polar nimbus]

wolf says he's offline RN

[wary kestrel]

Leadtek

[polar nimbus]

wait, it is a technology that uses lead? sounds great

[fallow parcel]

good ol AGP.

[wary kestrel]

No it’s a company

[wary kestrel]

https://www.leadtek.com/eng/

Leadtek

[fallow parcel]

tbh overkill for the system but it never had a good card in it so meh.

[polar nimbus]

i imagine they are banckrupt by now

[wary kestrel]

Nope

They design all nvidia quadros

[fallow parcel]

Leadtek? Theyve been around for ages and design the qua-

yeah lol

[polar nimbus]

oh

[wary kestrel]

They do gaming gpus but only in Taiwan and China

[polar nimbus]

i see......

[wary kestrel]

Back in the day though

They were a thing here

[fallow parcel]

Havent seen one in ages to be honest.

RIP Sparkle computer too.

[polar nimbus]

i love how we started in #❔┃pc-specs but now we are here

[wary kestrel]

They came back

They partnered with Intel arc

[fallow parcel]

Huh. Interesting. Might need to grab me one for collections sake.

[wary kestrel]

B580 from them is out now

Though likely already sold out

[polar nimbus]

also, why do i always think that the refrence coolers look the best (at least this gen)

[wary kestrel]

B580 flew off the shelves at mach 2

[fallow parcel]

Ehh I've never used any intel cards yet ngl.

[wary kestrel]

Reference coolers from both amd and nvidia are insanely ugly

Intel ones are cool though

I’ll agree to that

[fallow parcel]

I have always stuck by nvidia and the occasional radeon, I just got a 6600XT for a budget project. Which- turned out AWESOME. Check this, under 500.

[polar nimbus]

like am i the only one that thinks the FE looks better?

[wary kestrel]

Fuck no

Strix is way cooler

The side view

Of the strix is way nicer

[fallow parcel]

strix is awesome and nvidia is still stupid. Single fan on a 4090 set up with a blower config? Thats an easy way to have a heat death on a card bruh

[polar nimbus]

the FE has 2 fans not 1

[wary kestrel]

Fe is just ugly

[wary kestrel]

The 2080 super is the last cool fe card

[fervent kettle]

What

[fallow parcel]

Rear exhaust cards suck and have been dated for some time now lol

@fervent kettle irradiated tree move along

[polar nimbus]

the FE isnt just a blower card

[fallow parcel]

but the way nvidia has it configured is just... weird

[polar nimbus]

but if it works....why change it?

[fallow parcel]

...because theres way better heat management out there. '

[wary kestrel]

Who cares it’s ugly

[polar nimbus]

the FE is one of the best

[wary kestrel]

https://www.leadtek.com/eng/products/graphics_cards(1)/WinFast_RTX_4090_HURRICANE_24G(40950)/detail

Like your telling me you wouldn’t want this

[fallow parcel]

its rlly not

[wary kestrel]

It’s just ok

It’s better than amd

[fallow parcel]

if im dropping that much money on a graphics card I want the best thermals lmao

[wary kestrel]

Amd founders cards are terrible

[polar nimbus]

OK that one is pretty cool

[fallow parcel]

the only case id buy that is if it were slightly cheaper and im removing the stock case to get a liquid bracket

[polar nimbus]

they look cool 🤷‍♂️ and aside from their little OPSIE with the first batch of the refrence stuff they are usable

[wary kestrel]

they run at the thermal limit out of the box

[fallow parcel]

which was literally the case for my 4090, I found which one was the cheapest and highest clook + memory and just got the proper EKWB bracket

[wary kestrel]

Literally any other card is way better

[wary kestrel]

Ekwb is dead

Idk if you heard

They’re insolvent

[fallow parcel]

whaaat?? Since when?

[wary kestrel]

Since this year

Gamers nexus uncovered the case

[fallow parcel]

ohh sh** what happened? I've never had a problem with their stuff ngl

[polar nimbus]

the OOOPSIE batch might but the rest? NO : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We71eXwKODw&t=938s

[fallow parcel]

been using them since my 1080ti ngl

[wary kestrel]

The red devil is the same price but way better

They all cost 1000 dollars

[polar nimbus]

depends on the region

[wary kestrel]

They did a bunch of illegal financial stuff

And it finally caught up with them

[fallow parcel]

but why did EKWB go insolvent? Not enough sal- WOAH WHAT???

[wary kestrel]

In USA it’s 1000 dollars

[fallow parcel]

wow. What did they do? Like spoof accounting and tax numbers?

[polar nimbus]

GN one of the only ACTUAL journalists

[wary kestrel]

Yes

[wary kestrel]

Just watch the video on gamers nexus

But

It’s bad news

[fallow parcel]

jesus... thats... bad news for me if I need parts and gaskets. Holy hell.

[polar nimbus]

though i just cant get the refrence one. Neither the red devil

[fallow parcel]

that sucks... they always stood up for me. The 2tb WD black this PC came with went bad and they literally sent the order invoice they had on their corp account for me to warranty it.

[polar nimbus]

or if i can they are way to expensive

[wary kestrel]

Yup….

[fallow parcel]

Well good think only one of my PCs is fully EKWB. I only used their waterblock for my 4090 build

[polar nimbus]

and how is the 14900K doing in that build? have you updated BIOS?

[fallow parcel]

I got this EKWB with the 3090 off ebay and they legit helped me transfer ownership of the service tag to me so I could fix it up. @polar nimbus it's perfectly fine

[polar nimbus]

for now........

[fallow parcel]

I've had this thing 2 years and no issues at al

Nearly 2 years I guess.

[polar nimbus]

still, just update BIOS unless you want to keep playing roulette with a 600€ (IIRC) CPU

[fallow parcel]

I bought a 5 year protection plan on it so even if it fails it's not a huge deal.

I'm pretty OCD about all my tech so rest assured it's fine.

[polar nimbus]

i dont think that helps an architecure level failure

well more like microcode

[fallow parcel]

I meant about keeping my BIOS updated

[polar nimbus]

so it is updated?

[fallow parcel]

Yes. And if it fails like I said it's insured, I'm not really all that worried. Replacing the cpu is less of a pain than taking apart the hard piped cooling.

[polar nimbus]

oh ok,thats all i wanted to know (just to make sure the CPU doesnt melt by next year 😀 )

[fallow parcel]

Yeahhh with how expensive that PC was I insured more than a few parts

[polar nimbus]

how much did it cost? (the insurrance)

[fallow parcel]

I got my first adult paycheck and ended up building that because I didn't have a super nice PC for a long time

[fallow parcel]

Insurance wasnt all that much, Squaretrade is pretty decent with their plans

[polar nimbus]

or is that HUSH HUSH (i was going to say but you wrote someting i'm still gonna hit enter)

[fallow parcel]

I cant remember, but pc parts are way cheaper to insure than cars n such, I think I paid a little over 240 total

and thats like one time fees too, so pfft.

[polar nimbus]

oh no need for hide the pain for me

[fallow parcel]

I mean 200$ is a drop in the bucket when you spend that much on a pc lol

I spent... wayyy too much, and its overkill but I was using the same PC from 2007 until I graduated college in 2023, so it was well deserved

[polar nimbus]

i think im gonna blow 500€ on some GPU next year

prolly 9070 XT or NON XT (depends on the price)

[fallow parcel]

I bought 2 4090s in that build because F*** it lmao. I dont really need them but now that I have money I've been getting into hobbies like rendering so...

[polar nimbus]

i need them to play ARK SMEAR ascended

[fallow parcel]

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Not really justified but at least theyre used.

[polar nimbus]

how do you use 2 4090s in one PC?

[fervent kettle]

Bug swarms?

[fallow parcel]

@polar nimbus well if you want to know where the brunt of the money went to in that build, 3 samsung 57 inch monitors

[polar nimbus]

oh those arent bugs they are birds but they certainly look like bugs

[polar nimbus]

i thought i knew from the 2 4090 's

[fallow parcel]

again, its totally overkill by miles, but you gotta understand I legit couldnt play any new game for literally a decade

so I went as far as I possibly could. But its also funny because I use my 3090 build way more cuz its in my room instead of my office

[polar nimbus]

i totally get it

but AFAIK the 4090 doesnt have SLI˛/NVlink

[fallow parcel]

It does not, correct

[daring agate]

Someone told me to put this here but developers reading this make this jump smaller please i fail 100 times and still stuck there while it seem for alot ppl easy My skiff doesnt like jumping for some reason

[placid perch]

You're overloaded/too heavy. Drop stuff from your backpack then you can make the jump and pick it back up on your way back

[daring agate]

I tried but even with a little inventory im still overloaded i guess that a bug to

[placid perch]

What's your total weight? You have the overloaded icon in the bottom left. You want that to be gone and your weight bar to be green for full speed/jump

[daring agate]

Let me see

I also drop stuff sometimes and it dissapears

[daring agate]

Got it thnx i forgot my armor gave me more weight capaticity so i had to keep it on amd drop all other stuff and i could make the jump but thank you so much for the help

[placid perch]

Cheers! Good hunting, stalker!

[daring agate]

Thank you cant wait for the moment i need to run for shelter in the swamp like alot ppl talk about..

[upper ember]

anybody had this? I'm like 5 min from game finale and cant get past

[amber zealot]

there is indeed a bug that causes some jumpboards to...teleport you outside of the map.

tho, in my experience, they usually only do this when you jump into them. if you set them off, and then quickly move past them, they shouldnt do this

[upper ember]

yeah i managed actually. Just took me a few restarts. For some reason menu also doesn't open then

[amber zealot]

if you really cant get past it, one thing you can do, is install a mod that activates the console, and then you can "ghost" / noclip past it.

[royal drum]

What happened? My game froze onto this screen after dying. the game also hard locked.

[upbeat chasm]

get to walking

[golden token]

that meterage is the lower 32-bit integer limit! The game cannot calculate any lower!🤣

[vapid minnow]

why is the door to ||palace of culture|| locked ? i need to report ||Degtyarev ||but i can't enter

[river tulip]

Every base locks doors to important characters if enemies are nearby (red compass). Make sure no enemies are alive around the base

[vapid minnow]

ok thx ! it is iondeed red but i cant find the ennemy xd

[fervent kettle]

Oh yeah... TOTALLY safe from this emission. That I can plainly see 8 feet away.

[fervent kettle]

Amputee NPC? 😮

[brittle inlet]

Waiting.... Wtf-

I phase through the elevator again.

[river tulip]

I had this too. Try to spam jump while going up.

[brittle inlet]

Oh I did, also funny thing also happened was auto save triggered while I was on the elevator, and it spawned me right on top of it.
This mission is so buggy.

[clear dawn]

is this house even meant to let you be in here, with or without my suit on i will literally die they just spawn so many flashbangs 💀

[dapper crater]

Yes Yesterday

[agile pendant]

the bug happens because of the item that you get, do the main quest until you dont have the item

these anomalies have shifted....

Wtf is this shit. anomalies move? i never noticed that

[dapper crater]

this looks so freaking cool...

[amber zealot]

deez nuts! HA!!! gottum!!

[noble rivet]

Can run Stalker ANOMALY with all these graphic mods, and even then stalker 2 is far more demanding

[novel iris]

anomaly doesn't run on ue5

[noble rivet]

that is true

[amber zealot]

jager knows whats what

maybe one of the reasons to use the ram 2. to have a light built, while having a big capacity shotugn

2.45kg with the capacity of 14 rounds. thats almost as light as a toz

with all upgrades, the weight still goes up to 3.5. a fully equipped saiga is 4.04kg

sledgehammer is 5kg. predator is 3.36

a model competitor is 1.12kg. and it can be converted to fire shotgun buckshot

so you could have this outfit, which would be both extremely strong, yet lightweight. it would cover all aspects, except long range.

if you want to include lightweight, but have a sniper available, the veteran sports higher damage than a regular vs vintar, and together with AP ammo, keeps that piercing power over range.

though, the lynx at 3.43kg also isnt that heavy, however, its range for some reason is terrible for a long range sniper

i was in the bunker and they tried running into the building 😭 I was running towards the guide and seen them, poor souls

[daring agate]

Ohh oke so they did it themself may they rest in peace

[clear dawn]

there was another one by the door of the doctor
I counted 5 unfortunate deaths 🥶

[daring agate]

Dang

I looted them, with respect of course and ran straight to hamster 😁 HEHE

[daring agate]

I saw on a big field a bloodsucker traveling like they said they made in the update it was dusk and a open field i laughed how goofy he runned past and didnt saw anything 😅😂

I was like well havent trouble with u today

[clear dawn]

launch week was funny cause for some reason bloodsuckers use to ignore me and I would hang out with them walking side by side

[daring agate]

Frrr would have been funny asf to see haha

[daring agate]

Now everytime i get hunted by two bloodsuckers in the open

While first i had one and i was lucky there was a broken truck so i stood on top of it he couldnt reach me and killed him but now everytime spawn 2 for some reason and i die sigh

[brittle inlet]

There is a joke that I wanted to say, but not sure if I want to send the video about the robe wearing zombie explained through Markiplier's words.

[clear dawn]

they come in packs of 3 sometimes and it's like AHHHHHH so I'll hide in a corner and take em out with my saiga

[daring agate]

Yeah they made the game harder im in the swamps now and it like AI loves to spawn everything there 😂 i had like 12 boars lots of blind dogs jumpin rats bandits bloodsuckers those running naked cats and those ghost wolves

My ammo is like what the hewll

And then soon comes that strongest monster in the swamp i look forward to it 😂

[brittle inlet]

Minor spoiler cause enemies.

[amber zealot]

look at our little spetznaz soldier 😛

[daring agate]

Nah these swamps 😭 there is that mf that uses the force on u hell no and a sucker after me

I saved and closed the game i hope ai changes when i come back on 🤣

[slender magnet]

still too weird to use

[restive oar]

@dull mango

[crisp quail]

Got bread armor im unstoppable now

[amber zealot]

the kharod might be 1 of the most inclusive weapons in the game

also, the shotgun attachment doesnt damage the durability of the kharod itself!

[slender magnet]

Is the silencer worth using? stealth is almost impossible anyway and doesn't it make it break faster

[restive oar]

Kharod is certainly the most versatile rifle

I still ended up using the Dnipro late game for the ammo conversion. Thing hit like a truck with the AP rounds

[amber zealot]

as far as i understand game mechanics, the silencer increases the range of a weapon. the damage falloff becomes less. i did not test if it broke down faster with silencer. i havnt really noticed anything

[fallow parcel]

why there is fully modeled jupiter underground main room with loot and weird working lever

[lusty vale]

I ate it and took some damage, as advertised

[amber zealot]

yea but...is this an actual item in the game now? is it part of a quest? its unclear. "find out where this spoiled can comes from"

i mean. we had a quest where we had to find the rostok baker. and then we were to get a loaf of bread.

i love how i have done this 50x over, yet its still locked

like. the visual zone around you is 100 meters. so when a group of mercs spawn inside that, they suddenly appear. i headshot them right at that mark. so its atleast a 100 meter shot. yet the achievement remains locked

Did you no scope?

[ocean leaf]

I love when people act like they where forced to buy a knowingly broken game. What's up with all the people complaining paying tons of money for a game everyone knew is heavily broken from day one ?

[glacial nimbus]

Even a broken game should atleast have the bare minimum working such as weapons

[ocean leaf]

Never had this bug it's unfortunate especially in this annoying fight.

[glacial nimbus]

It was, I ended up just taking off the gernade launcher Because this happened to me a few times

[undone saffron]

random thought, why does the door on Sidorovich's bunker open this way? comparing it to Anomily, the door is on the left. Did Sidorovich get a new door? did he not like it facing that way? so many questions and gsc needs to answer them!

i reported the springboard bug. you also want to report it. make sure to include the savefile and the location of the springboard. it seems that some of them are bugged and will teleport you out of map bounds.

[undone saffron]

just did this mission several hours ago, it was cool to look at something different.

[sage tide]

Whos photo is this

[amber zealot]

it doesnt make sense to me. in the original stalker series, the brain scorcher was put in the red forest, preventing people from entering yanov/pripyat area. if the brain scorcher is where it is now, it would more prevent people from entering the wild territory, which is left of rostok/yantar area. which stalkers had no issue entering.

[barren seal]

definitely feels a bit weird, there also several roads branches missing, memory is foggy about original SOC, didn't one of the road leads to Pripyat right?
the current position of former freedom base also totally does not make sense, as it was formerly point where they prevent monolith advances

[amber zealot]

total immersion break. trying to be stealthily, sneaky, getting my stuff back after i escape from the ward. and then the npc's are hard coded to ignore me. total bummer

[half fiber]

is this chopper the same chopper from SoC cover art?

[amber zealot]

why does it say that..

[half fiber]

interesting, CNPP has a save file picture

[blazing sundial]

If that's after breaking out ||of the Ward base, you are just losing the regenerator you are supposed to give to Kaymanov when you attempted to help Strider. After the quest it remained in the inventory for some reason and you couldn't remove it.||

Cool screenshot. I haven’t seen a heli crash with red glow inside, where/what is that?

[barren seal]

custom added lighting, not there by default

[fervent kettle]

Ooooh ok

Is that the heli wreck on the southern central area of the map, near that dam? With the Stalker who calls for help and dies, you find his PDA about a good stash on the bus?

[barren seal]

yea it's the one at the Dam, not sure about the stash though, didn't complete all stash locations.
(it's not the Stalker calling for help, it's the 'cat')

[fervent kettle]

If you listen to the recording you find on his PDA, the last part of the recording is him yelling the exact same words he used to call you over

It seems to be that he is timed to be killed as you approach to stage the fight and the PDA recording, or else the cat mutant is yelling out his very last words that he is also recorded saying. That’s possible I suppose since the cat’s might be repeating what they hear humans say.

Bug NPC Door.
I can't get through to enter the Prypiat camp these guys
have been stuck there for days, they don't give me the
chance to enter. 1 tried to run and enter to see if I could
get in in the end 1 succeeded.. but they are always there
every time 1 can't try to get through by forcing, the door
or the NPCs because it's really stressful to try every
time. so I ask if they could soive the problem for me
1tried in every way even to kill them but they are in a
safe area so I don't know what to do. lt's literally a bug
like others that 've encountered. but I think this is the
worst. ahahaha

I found out that during the storm they all move but then they come back like this.. I don't know how to fix it, it's literally a bug of the NPCs. Every time I can't try to get in, plus I have a lot of stuff in my backpack.

Check my coupons

[fallow parcel]

I managed to find Glutton down in Rostok. It's inside a stash about 500-600 meters away to the North West of Rostok. Just follow the road to the left after going north of Rostok. You'll find a tunnel. Look around in there first to find where the power switch is, flip it and get to the stash.

[amber osprey]

Dammn, I wasted my money on upgrading suits and weapons.

[fallow parcel]

God that's a lot of money...I need to start finding anomalous areas for artifacts more often.

[loud echo]

[barren seal]

artifact dont even sell for much honestly, especially the more common varieties.
just stash them up until you actually need the money, then take those artifact search job from barkeeps that range from 10k-30k reward.
majority of the money were actually came from selling weapons, suits, and ammo

[fallow parcel]

I tend to carry too much ammo and supplies to make gun running a viable tactic for me unfortunately.

[barren seal]

slim it down to 150 pistol / sniper / shotgun ammo, 250 assault rifle ammo
3 medkit, 5 bandage, 1 anti rad, 1 psi-block just in case
don't bring anything else

[ocean leaf]

Good times in veteran no extra weapons are spawning. The creature only dies if you put all the bullets you have in its body.

[fallow parcel]

I had to come down from Veteran because I had to fight a Bloodsucker with an under over shotgun. I had very little medical supplies at that time too. It sucked. That, and the Boars sitting and absolutely eating all of my buckshot without even acknowledging it. God, vanilla Veteran was insane...but then again, it was probably supposed to be a more "pick your battles wisely" difficulty.

[barren seal]

or prepare the right stuff for the situation; it is okay to reload or ran back to get better tools for the job.
there are times that happened to me, the fight was really painful with the wrong weapon.

[fallow parcel]

It was the beginning of the game when I fought it. It was the main story mission where I had to find the dude that was in the windmill. Then he asked me to get him an artifact nearby that would help him get out of the Zone.

[meager reef]

hte

[meager reef]

bro i want that where is it 👀 rostok? only one artifact allowed tho

[nova oracle]

From the journalist stash in Zalyssia if you have deluxe or ultimate edition, it's 2kg but I just sold a bunch of shit to see if I could put both -1kg upgrades out of curiosity and from memory it can have 3 artifact slots but I didn't upgrade them on there

[valid stump]

is there any upgrade for the biggest armor so it's possible to run? otherwise I don't get what's so good about it

nice to see im not the only one here who dies very often lol. you have twice more deaths than i do lol

ive checked all stashes in lesser zone, and didnt find this one you showed here. hmmmmm. maybe some loot are random 👀 ive got tourist suit which gives 5perc stamina regenaration boost and it weights 3 kg and lets to use 2 artifacts.

[warm narwhal]

I think my Skif it's already schizo from being too much in the Zone

[valid stump]

i hope they release Dlcs like they said. Would be so awesome to explore the cnpp and other greyed out parts of the map

[meager reef]

after the holidays i came back home, played 5min had 2 different fights and crash. god damn it.

[delicate zinc]

here u can find mark 1 with sileencor for sniper rifle

[meager reef]

aaand after another 30min it crashed again. im done for tonight lol.

[silver cypress]

anybody knows what that exclamation mark on slag heap when zomed in no quests comes up , my main story quest is on rostok

[barren seal]

Can be just bug, had several of these icons stucks in some places despite i finished the game already

[silver cypress]

then it must be a bug , thought i'm missing something 😅

[delicate zinc]

[hasty dawn]

Should I report it somewhere? @tender glacier

[tender glacier]

#s2-support if you want 🙂

[amber osprey]

That is the second time that the game crashed while interacting with this guy. Had to use task manager

[hasty dawn]

done, thx

[near viper]

Happened to me a few times in this location. It’s not specifically this guy’s fault. Didn’t have that issue anymore yet

[amber osprey]

Wtf did Chris even do??

[near viper]

It says “RAT” “RAT” “RAT” “RAT”

[amber osprey]

Never trusting google translate again XDDDD
At least now I will know how to call someone that I don't like whose name is Chris

[fervent kettle]

I like how that top right said Crisis lol

[amber osprey]

From now on I am scared of anyone named Chris in stalker. I will avenge the author of the inscriptions and kill Chris

I haven't sold 2 of the armours so it'll be more than this

• 28k

42k on repairs. Roughly 38k profit. Not awful - not great

[nova oracle]

Weird might be a bug or depends on the story path which I doubt but the tourist suit is better anyway, a few kilos heavier but better stats

[clear dawn]

bring back F1 / F2 / F3 / F4 😭

hopefully this year with upcoming updates >.> like its in the keybind settings but theyre disabled lol

fun watching old stalker 2 footage https://youtu.be/cR9B1naRMwY

😆 😆 😆 😆

[meager reef]

same happened with shelter mark on trader Quiet's location near Noon's base.

[meager reef]

i prefer the +8kg maximum weight one in your suit tho, thats the most important thing for me is the max weight allowed. the rest of the stats are similar to yours. only that i can put 2 artifacts by default and it looks cool especially while walking in forests, other than that i think yours is better.

[blazing sail]

Eat icon is better then now

[marble citrus]

I'd translate like "Loot is no longer here". So there was loot, but you're too late for it. A bit different meaning

[past glen]

in the past glory main quest there is a bug , game getting stuck every time

[noble rivet]

I think I should reinstall STALKER 2 ngl. It was hella fun. Atm im just playing Anomaly.

[valid stump]

Hi Guys ✌️ I'm really having trouble with the ads or zoom in general. it's so stuttery when aiming and I don't know why. Can anyone relate?

[meager reef]

this map bug is everywhere 😦

does anyone know what these numbers in railway maintenance facility means? i found 6 and 2 at this point.

[valid stump]

6 and 2 = 62 stands for the fps the game runs on most PCs 🤡🤣 na sorry I don't know

[west shard]

Many words of the Rat.
In Ukraine, we call those who betray their friends/partners/brothers Rat.

This character betrayed his friends.
And they took cruel revenge on him for his betrayal.

[amber osprey]

yeah figured it out

[edgy steeple]

climb there on highest tower , u will understand

[meager reef]

didnt know these fellas knows how to jump on the pipes so high 👀 scared me shitless while i was looting another stash bag god damn

[forest zephyr]

Little guy got scared by a Chimera and came up next to me, i gave him some sausage, killed the Chimera then left, hope he's doing alright.

[meager reef]

didnt have to climb on a highest tower, definitely was higher towers than this one. it was this tower first floor with code doors. was easy to find, but stressful to guess the order of numbers for the code lock because emission started exactly when i started the guessing process. now im wondering what the lever on the second floor in this tower does, couldnt turn it because the option was greyed out.

omg i barely made it with all the weight i slowely was walking to safety, the location to hide from the emission was not far but i took my time to explore things and managed to get into safe area with this amount of hp left lol.
EDIT: i checked what was left of my armor - nope imma better load the older save file lol

[edgy steeple]

Remember stalkers , if u will go for 2 rabbits , u will catch none

[amber osprey]

Soo the SVDM-2 has duplicating textures (one on top of another slightly offset) inside the upgrade menu. For comparison Lynx doesn't have that issue
Mostly visible on the scope and magazine. idk I am on to something

[meager reef]

i found 3 levers, one in this tower and the other 2 are closer to a bigger building the opposite side of this area. i found the button on that bigger building wall, but no lever or button doesnt work tho. imma cheat this one sadly lol

i found that a side quest called "the side hustle" will take me back to this place and then ill have to use these levers. funny that the emission i previously mentioned actually started for other people who came to this area too - i think some emissions are coded to start based by entering some locations 👀

[silver cypress]

these 3 guys not moving in rostok base underground , cant submit my quests , i had to kill these and hide from rest of the army

[ocean leaf]

which mod is that?

[noble rivet]

Anomaly

[ocean leaf]

better than gamma?

[drifting galleon]

gamma is modpack for anomaly afaik

[noble rivet]

anything is better than gamma

[ocean leaf]

Why is that ?

[noble rivet]

overrated, too complicated, too hardcore, I could go on

[drifting galleon]

yeah i'd agree on that, i ended up installing mod one by one manually instead

[ocean leaf]

I thought there were objective reasons

[tender glacier]

never tried gamma but tried anomaly

[noble rivet]

a pain to install too. But yeah, in general I just do not like it. I think I am better off just making my own little modpack and I am happy with that

[drifting galleon]

fr, once i installed it i unistalled it bcoz its too complicated

[ocean leaf]

I would try anomaly. I like gamma as a "have something to do game so just to not stress to go somewhere but just enjoy the survival experience like playing dayz with pve ai mod

[noble rivet]

Anomal itself is a bit of a survival already, especially with a few mods that add more to it

[ocean leaf]

I mean I only installed gamma because I don't know how to mod correctly and what the do's and don'ts are. So I might try actually using anomaly as a base and learn whats worth to add. Thing is that gamma is dealing with all the incompatibilities. With skyrim I wouldn't have a problem modding but also in skyrim there are all the modlists that people use to just dodge the compatibilty work

[noble rivet]

If you wanna mod Anomaly that you pull out of the box, I recommend two things: Mod Organizer 2, Modded Exes. Mod Organizer is literally a no brainer, makes sorting out mods with less of aheadache

[ocean leaf]

Mo2 I know but what is mod exes?

[noble rivet]

Its an extension that some mods require

[ocean leaf]

Ah ok

[noble rivet]

its like a DLTX but much easier to install

[teal onyx]

dose someone know what this inventory bug is i cant sort the inventory corenctly there are always massive empty spaces

i had to load a save to fix this

[wheat coral]

@fervent kettle thats what i mean btw

[wheat coral]

having the same issue right now with my safe zone stash it looks awkward and some spaces are marked red/yellow eventhough empty

[fervent kettle]

That's wild, and a bit annoying. I'm sorry mine does not do this, I cannot explain or help!

[wheat coral]

nah just wanted to highlight cause you said you didnt see it yet xd

[clear dawn]

i just got on today, not even 10 seconds into the world and a problem so minor already happened, wizards exist idk where he went off to but good luck out there.

[edgy steeple]

Is it allowed to post glitches here ?

[clear dawn]

like intentional stuff "were not suppose to see" ?

[edgy steeple]

Bugs like dupes and glitches

[fervent kettle]

Yeah you can, this is possible spoilers area.

[clear dawn]

I mean, i skimmed through #category-rules didnt see anything about NOT doing it 🤷‍♂️

[fervent kettle]

I've seen it done multiple times, you are alright.

[edgy steeple]

Here is bug that i submited to report , basically its infinite AP or EXP ammo , at the momnet when numbers of loaded ammo is appearing u changing ammo type for which u want to "convert"

[clear dawn]

I've seen bread armor so idk what could be bad lol

[edgy steeple]

As i tested its works only with 860 cracker

[fervent kettle]

Yeah that's a weird one for sure. It feels like the same kind of bug that let people infinitely sell rad meds to the vendor or whatever. Basically when a command is triggered you initiate a separate action before the first one completes, the game tries to resolve it to the more recent command.

Good catch bro, thanks for reporting it for patching. Every report helps.

[clear dawn]

**don't mess with me mutants, i'm farming artifacts 😏 **

[clear dawn]

i like it, it's small minimal not game breaking, simply a bug report with proof good catch for sure 💯

however, give me one, i won't ask nicely again stalker 😆

[edgy steeple]

I found a lot of such bugs , thinking of spending a day or two for testing and reporting

[edgy steeple]

In this run im not farming artifacts , sometimes for fun when im going to mission and every time is something valuable

[clear dawn]

i've been trying to intentionally leave the lesser zone early with no success lol

[edgy steeple]

Its pretty easy with gravitational anomalies

[clear dawn]

i can't time that for some reason, idk what im doing wrong

[edgy steeple]

its hard sometimes without veles

[barren seal]

last i check the gravity anomaly at the bus wasnt there anymore, got removed in last patch?

[clear dawn]

speaking of things that got moved, they added some boxes to areas where i think skif was suppose to be able to vault over things but instead of fixing vaulting they added boxes to jump on

um wait a minute, i was talking just about stalker 2. mods for stalker 2.

ah yes thats nice, walk into sircaa and crash

SIRCAA feels totaly out of the stalker universe imho

i was wondering if i felt into some psy field

[clear dawn]

the building is a museum, it also gives me weird vibes from sons of the forest except this facility isnt underground

[meager reef]

this is not the moment when i threw the bolt. it was when i turned left and right and the bolt in my hand just glitched out and moved from my hand by itself lol. thats a new "anomaly" to my collection i guess.

[fervent kettle]

I wanted to steal the artifacts on display so bad haha

[meager reef]

im a hoarder lel

[clear dawn]

do we need 300+ medkits, no not really. but im gonna collect them.

[fervent kettle]

Even as ||SIRCAA was going to shit, and falling apart|| I was like... can I go get them now? XD

[meager reef]

im collecting em like kids pokemon cards

but now the question is if any of you guys experienced this same bug with the bolt in the hand? never see anyone talking about this bug yet

[clear dawn]

my first playthrough ||sircca was under fire ||and a few scientist just went about their day 😐

[fiery canopy]

i hate those shit

[fervent kettle]

It's not always helpful, but did you know you can stop them from veering off their patrol paths to attack you if you unequip your artifacts? Sounds stupid, but 100% works. Remove your artifacts from your armor boxes and you can walk around them without getting their attention. They will still wander around on their paths and will hurt you if you touch them, but ignore you otherwise.

[clear dawn]

I WAS GONNA SAY BUT|| IM BUSY STEALING AN ARTIFACT FROM DALINS OFFICE||

[fervent kettle]

Hell yeah

[meager reef]

i feel special lol. should have recorded it but i was too lazy lol

[fiery canopy]

yeah, but when this happens when you are going to rostok and can barely move due to the load of crap you carry, that doesn'thelp 🙂

[clear dawn]

bro even if its the smallest thing ever record it anyways, a glitch and a bug no matter how small or big needs recorded, its for gaming history 😭

[fervent kettle]

My weird "only me" bug seems to be that I can trigger the spawn of one specific zombie in one specific location in the Red Forest by walking away and coming back. His corpse disappears and he's "alive" again. He only ever has red weapons as loot though, so it's pointless to do it on purpose, but at least he spawns with his back turned so he never attacks me.

[fiery canopy]

i mean, roaming around Duga is really a pain given how far are the first city where you can trade or stock

[clear dawn]

sircaa spoiler, but why is the scientists trying to cut the ribbon if its already cut by ||dalin || they got lag in their brain?

also, IS THIS UPSCALED

[meager reef]

totally familiar feeling. im traveling in snail's pace in rostok at the moment, praying for the loot box to be in the base or smth which i dont even know if it will be one in rostok at all lol

[meager reef]

yeah especially the ones that are extremely rare which is in my case lol. imma go back to that glitchy place and will try to replicate it. if ill fail, ill cry.

[clear dawn]

kinda annoying i cant close this 😭

[fiery canopy]
