Run the game in administrator mode... had the issue with when trying to capture the game.

[amber osprey]

First thing I did. Also quick usables are set to mouse side buttons. Works almost without a flaw

[bright cipher]

set the same but then set the healing to 1 and 2

[orchid summit]

Just weird that I had to set the Q and E in the secondary slots and keep main empty.

What am I looking at

also wtf

its out of bounds btw

[fading schooner]

Since I can't send links, I will send photos. In this video they compare the original trilogy and they say that the NPCs use cover very well, whereas in Stalker 2 they rush without any fear.

Then I compared the dialogues they had when an NPC went to revive another NPC, the latter thanked him and they talked to each other. On the other hand, in Stalker 2 they don't say anything, the person who created this video doesn't want to throw hate but rather wants Stalker 2 to be like this in the future.

[quiet heath]

I do.

[quiet heath]

How the feck are you supposed to get teh artifact in teh middle of an anomaly, 60 feet in the air and you aint got time to jump for claw to the other... feck off

[brazen shore]

You sure it's not at ground level? Every time I've hunted artifacts there, they've been down below. Never had to do any jumping.

[quiet heath]

100% if the anomaly pulls you in and off the claw the artifact appears

I even got it once to fall, then the fecker respawn at the top again... Just like FECK OFF!!

[past glen]

I think itd be cool for a mod to randomize the languages of stalkers in the world. Like after 10+ years of the zones existance theres gotta be a lot of nationalities. The pda could act as a universal translator of sorts.

[quiet heath]

Amazing, put that much detail into the railways, then make insane gameplay choices.

The game naturally lends itself to something more serious and realistic, to full compliment this level of care and attention.

[hollow sail]

but why

[agile scarab]

He insulted my gun

[ember whale]

RPD....

[north otter]

an MG42 would be better no or an M60 ?

[ember whale]

The MG42 is..... not my taste?
the M60 is cool but there's a reason why SOG used captured RPDs over M60s

[north otter]

I would say the ammunition the RPD and the RPM 74 use the same ?

[ember whale]

Yeah ingame
Though afaik the PK (RPM) used the same rounds as the SVD irl

[north otter]

I'm still looking forward to him adding new weapons, especially finding weapons from the first games.

[keen wadi]

RPD was cut, but idk exactly why. Its sounds are still in the game.

[north otter]

I think that the RPD is like the other regions, it was cut to make DLCs.

[ember whale]

what a shame, i'd rather have it than the slightly cursed PK we have

[keen wadi]

Ehh, could be balance related. I remember it was rock_4 (maybe) who said the game had too many LMGs and not too many Rifles or smth

Just what I remember, not some confirmed thing

[north otter]

All we have to do is be patient and see what happens next

[ember whale]

What other MGs were planned?

[vagrant cloak]

[nova walrus]

grenades work really well. rpg is too hard to get

[nova walrus]

svd might not be the most practical, also why would you use svd if you have Lynx at this point which is significantly better

[undone flower]

i coulda swore i had the lynx and compared it it has less range than svd but no other stats are better

[nova walrus]

hey nice video dude, I would change music though

[nova walrus]

I don't know the stats by heart but ik that Lynx can one-shot everything on veteran, even the brown helmet monolith exos in pripyat, just like SVU, while SVD cannot

but yeah SVU is still better so dw if you've sold Lynx

very small difference tho

[undone flower]

ahhh googled it and the lynx has alot more penetration same damage but a bit less range i guess i didnt see the penetration stat when i was comparing them ingame

atleast i didnt sell it i got it in my personal box still

[undone flower]

svd was super practical with faust fight tbh cause its so much easier to aim at the thing on his hip with it

[timber tapir]

DUGA view on Z.O.N.E

[nova walrus]

oh the one with the laser you get from a faust's minion is kinda nice yeah, but I assume you can also put laser on Lynx? I haven't checked tho

[fallow parcel]

i cant be bothered to post all of the guns and armor but i essentially have everything

I believe i have more guns but i do not have as much consumable's as you.

Well, yes, there's music for the amateur. It's an ancient song about the transmigration of the soul, so I chose it. The soul asks not to walk on its lands, because it is in every stone, in every leaf, and the water is its blood and tears.
Semantic load is a priority.

[nova walrus]

wait, you can get 4 of that psi vodka?? how?? I only found 2 and only by taking the ward path, and 1 I gave for the mission, I guess I could keep 2 if I really wanted but where you got the other 2?

also, I'd rather have a full art collection than 3k of bandages lol

[marble citrus]

honestly unsure if these count as spoilers, but putting them here just in case.

[alpine flint]

My game lately if i go into my stash 😅 instant crash

[amber osprey]

I know how one Pod survived getting shot by Strelok. It simply doesn't have collision. So Strelok was shooting at all the pods but didn't realize that one of the pods was left untouched since bullets passed right thru

[carmine wave]

i think you talk about kaimanov pod which is empty

[amber osprey]

Yes, but I assume Strelok tried to shoot all the Pods in purpose of destroying the C-consciousness for sure. But didn't notice that one pods wasn't getting damaged since bullets passed right thru

[amber osprey]

Also when you turn your back on intractable while still being within the range of interaction the prompt to press the key gets moved to left top corner. It is interesting that GSC even programmed it since almost all intractables require you to look at the object

He's already long gone at that point. Pretty sad seeing him like that, after all he tried to do.

[amber osprey]

The point is that is that just an illusion of me, or actually me?

[lyric peak]

Illusion

[amber osprey]

So lying to him or telling the truth has no point since it was only an illusion? I thought that I actually had the power to assure him that we succeed or tell him the truth because it didn't feel right to lie to him. You can't fool me that it was just an illusion. He was real. I saw him and I know that I spoke to him instead of some illusion ||like Dalin thought about representative in one of the cutscene wariants||

[quiet heath]

The Philadelphia experiment.

[lyric peak]

When you step inside that pod you're not actually seeing Strider, it's just an illusion you're seeing. ||He died when doc stabbed him with that scalpel.|| Only his reaction is different depending on what you tell him.

I am not finished with my first playthrough yet, so not clicking that spoiler yet lol.

[amber osprey]

I know that he is dead but I think that the device brought his spirit back to live only so you could have an conversation conversation with him.

[lyric peak]

I was thinking that too, hopefully. But doesn't look like it when that disk thing you insert before stepping in was the thing that created the illusion of the surroundings ||(after you met Strelok and went to retrieve it).|| If it was actually him man his reaction was pretty heartbreaking honestly when I told him the truth.

What the feck is that?

[quiet heath]

I have a 7900, pbo on, a B650 MB, that I got with the CPU for £100 off deal... and I have a 7900xt GPU, which I got when they were at their cheapst point, because I waited and patience pays off.

You don;t have top go out and by the best, you just need to know what you are buying... and for budget, stuff AMD is probably better as low end nvidia stuff garbage for RT etc.

The total cost of my PC was less than £1500, because I have spent years building my own, doing my research and understanding what I was buying.

Shocking because I know where to find it lol

know where to find what?

[strong shadow]

the PSZ.

[obtuse yew]

ok but that has nothing to do with you telling me that Diamond is not the best when it statistically is.

[strong shadow]

maybe for physical but PSI matters most to me.

[obtuse yew]

taking that little extra Psi over all the others is just stupid.

[vagrant kayak]

again?

[obtuse yew]

@strong shadow i got on my save from before i left on the last mission. i upgraded the suits i have with what i could do on them and i prioritised Psi over Radio and the result is still that Diamond Practically outperforms them all.

[strong shadow]

there's 2 good suit's for PSI basically

[obtuse yew]

only suit that beats Diamond in Psi is the base Exo and the reward one.

i was able to record in 4k with that before idk why now it not working with stalker 2

Yeah, I never really used obs because didn't worked out whenever I tried. If I'm just playing on Steam normally, I use the Xbox game app for pc.

For screenshots I just use the function on Steam.

[brazen shore]

You can definitely get more than 100 hours out of it without stretching it too much. 35 hours is what was quoted pre-launch as estimated play time for the main missions, so that should be doable too.

Question: is the Artifact Container and Aramid Lining supposed to be incompatible on the SEVA-I? There's no text to indicate I can't pick both, like I can with the two other upgrades in the other pic.

[quick wing]

It looks very good, I've been thinking about starting this game lately

[dusky ermine]

I highly recommend it. I did 50 hours of stalker 2 first. Then my second stalker game was gamma and it’s absolute peak

Modding it to your liking is fairly easy, I even got the game to work on my dualsense controller. Granted in total I played over 140 hours at this point

[quick wing]

Yes, I played Stalker 2 for 137 hours and I am very curious about Anomaly

[bright cipher]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/quick-action-wheel i recommend this mod

[dusky ermine]

Ignore the words, only focus on the letters. The bumpers aren’t gonna switch weapons

[bright cipher]

so you dont have to have f1 and f2 keybind on your controler and with 1 keybind can select many diffrent items

[dusky ermine]

Triangle switches weapons. Tap once for primary, twice for secondary. 3rd for third weapon

[dusky ermine]

Good point I’ll test it and report back when im on gamma. Ty for mod link

[bright cipher]

oh now i understand thats smart

[dusky ermine]

I played for 140 hours on controller. I bet my setup is the closest you can get to native controller on gamma

[bright cipher]

woah 140 hours thats impressive i think i could convince a person to try stalker gamma (hes a controller player)

[dusky ermine]

Even the artifacts are pretty

There’s no reason not to play gamma after stalker 2 it gets you hoping that stalker 2 will get modded like this in 10 years or so

[tired stag]

hearing about gamma makes you hope for a complete removal of the word from the vocabulary

[maiden rampart]

There is nothing left in Gamma that makes Stalker game, people who working on Gamma dont understand what makes this game feel special, what makes it Stalker game. They're just making Tarkov with mutants and artifacts, thats it, and adding a bunch of unnecessary features.

[ocean bronze]

why there is an emission everyday

"you don't need this anymore, sorry" proceeds to teabag the body

[glad burrow]

Can one of you genius explain why this is happening

[cinder flame]

Your ammo is possessed by Sid

[glad burrow]

Haha very true, I removed UE Tools because I swear it was that and its not

I also removed Descriptive Ammo Boxes and it wasn't that either

[marble summit]

This bug is It's happening to me too

[green night]

finally it is done, I can rest now https://youtu.be/zcdURnoZtXI (If anyone knows the band of the 2nd song please let me know, it's driving me insane.)

[static totem]

Does anyone know how to fix it?
Despite the fact that developers said that they fixed it last year. The latest version of the game to date, xbox.

[glad burrow]

well sheeet!

[nova walrus]

not mods. I play fully vanilla and had this happen too, with rpg

[lyric peak]

Someone must have taken too much of hercules

[glad burrow]

Well looks like I am playing with the display off then...... I am ready to die alot

[thin forum]

Yup addiction

[oblique ice]

wish to get closer

[thin forum]

Wish granted…idikamne

[oblique ice]

oh explotive word not allowed here we go again

[thin forum]

Come to me…I see your wish.

How about these?…note this is very early game so it’s very old pic.

[oblique ice]

the zone really is so cool to explore in this entry the new anomalys.

[cinder flame]

Eye and mamas beads are some artefacts I've been looking for but I actually havent even found yet

[thin forum]

Ya they are very rare

And these aswell

[cinder flame]

Yeah but I've found a bunch of legendary artefacts for example. No mamas beads or eye tho

[thin forum]

Damn that’s just unlucky

[cinder flame]

Found all of em. Some of the only ones I haven't found are those and the thunderberry

And some Arch artefacts. Weird bolt didn't spawn for some reason and I wasn't bothered to hunt down all of the others

[thin forum]

I see very cool hunting

[wild osprey]

HDR completely changes the game

the picture becomes similar to some arts of stalker. The colors are a
bit muted

[nova walrus]

me looking at this on my non-hdr monitor: wow really beautiful

[lyric peak]

[nova walrus]

where hair 😭

[delicate prawn]

It went poof

[nova walrus]

I get pistol for all screenshots coz it's the least obstructing while having no weapon at all just feels weird lol

rifle with x2 or x4 scope takes up half of screen like omg

[quick wing]

Yes it is, the best option is to turn off the HUD completely and not have a gun in your hand

[nova walrus]

I wish we had a hotkey for turning off HUD

[tiny rune]

Or just play with no HUD because it is the superior way to play

[nova walrus]

I tried but idk. No compass means I'll use pda much more often. No healthbar means I'll overheal, which is maybe not that bad. No crosshair means I can't check who is a friendly, though now I remember everyone's armor more or less but still sometimes it helps. No quick use slots... I guess these ones I don't need lol. No ammo... I guess I could count

but disabling ammo wouldn't change much coz it already auto-disables when you don't need it

[tiny rune]

You can still use the quick use, just not see the icons.

[nova walrus]

yeah this is what I meant

[tiny rune]

Also, no need to count because you can hear the difference in the gun sounds when your mag is almost empty

[nova walrus]

yeah that's true, this they did nicely

ok maybe I'll try playing without hud again. Can afford to over-use heals a bit, I got plenty now

[tiny rune]

I like to use bandages to heal up when I am not in direct combat because they heal a decent amount and there are lots of them in the zone.

[lyric peak]

There's a key that's needed to open this? 2nd pic is where the loot is at.

[thin forum]

Accurate depiction of me with red weapons

[delicate prawn]

Yes

[oblique ice]

a weird bolt can be found here. However you have to expose yourself to emissions to recharge, but it will protect you greatly from anomalies when charged. grab one if you dare.

[thin forum]

Damn! No thanks

Wait I know that place

[outer flame]

they never really explain what it is, how ||strelok got it and why do you need it to enter the pod||

[thin forum]

Don’t touch it!

[lyric peak]

Stalker masochists on their way to get weird bolt like

[thin forum]

Lol

[lyric peak]

Maybe I should get it though. I always seem to get caught in a middle of an emission, and barely making it to safety.

[thin forum]

Hate that when it happens

[outer flame]

completly forgot that thx man

where do you think Strelok found it ?

[ebon hull]

🤷

[outer flame]

it can't at the generator since he never got there before SoC

[cerulean pollen]

He actually was there, Guide confirms that the Heart could only be found at the Generators

[outer flame]

weird. In their first trip the zone Strelok's group had to go back because they needed a specific detector to open the door at the CNPP and In clear sky Strelok got hit by an emission and brainwashed at the CNPP. At what point did he got to the generators ? And it's never mentioned anywhere that Strelok knew about CCON before SoC. Is it a retcon ?

[timber tapir]

Man if only stalker 2 had skybox like that...

[outer flame]

maybe he went to the north more times than we know of

[cerulean pollen]

The first time he got to the CNPP and took a photo of it. The second time he went to the Generators, returned with the Heart of Chornobyl. The third time he went to the Monolith and returned injured, the idea of making a decoder appeared. The fourth time happened during the events of CS. The fifth time - SoC.

[outer flame]

Strelok is the goat
