@gilded cave Is it this one?

[gilded cave]

sooo close, seems like it is a remake of this one , i can't find that specific mix sounds amazing

[dry forge]

yeah it sounds a bit diff

[placid berry]

What kind of graphics mod are you using?

[timber tapir]

Prz + winter tale

[solemn sinew]

Well that concludes my fourth playthrough of STALKER 2.

Now it's time for the freeroam mod with a ton of visual and weapon mods.
Recreate the Strelok route from Cordon to Pripyat and the CNPP.

[quick wing]

I don't think Stalker 2 will give you that feel

[solemn sinew]

Just going exploring with photorealistic zone 🙂

[normal marlin]

I'm selling thoose, should I? They kinda suck

To get this, "base suit"

I already got this wich is better

[obtuse yew]

don't, buying armor just costs too much.

[normal marlin]

Too late, but how else can I get it?

[obtuse yew]

you can find pretty much everything around the zone, just gotta explore a little. that is the way.

[normal marlin]

I really wanna find the cool ones in the future like the armored one and the hazmat suit

[normal marlin]

Ok thanks, I will from now on

[obtuse yew]

you can get plenty of armor suits in the game, even early on by following the main story lines. Armor just costs too much and that money is better spent on upgrades for when you get other suits, i used a type of a hazmat suit called something with 99, for a long time in one of my runs because it wasn't mega expensive to repair and had decent stats after some upgrades

[thick heath]

Nice

[indigo glen]

HOW do i loot this

[normal marlin]

Radiation are giving me hallucinations cause I swear bro floating

10h of game, still have to get out of the first area😭 🙏

[amber zealot]

@timber tapir dont you hate it when npc's forget who the main character is?

[gilded cave]

Is anyone having this bug with the mosin?

I don’t use any mod

[amber zealot]

the things i do to get my hands on unique weapons

[tall ridge]

Hello, can someone help me? I'm just posting this here because it won't let me write in the bugs. The point is that when I want to aim or even if it doesn't do this, almost every time I restart or turn the console off and on, but it does this every time. Does anyone know how to solve this somehow or do I have to wait for a game update that fixes it? Xbox Series X

[median spire]

I play on Series S.
Patch 1.7 recently dropped. If you have any Mods on your save, those mods are probably playing games with your game. I’d wait for some updates (from mod authors)

[tall ridge]

Ohh thanks!

[latent marten]

anyone ever had this priblem?

i cant save even after starting a new game

[bright stirrup]

Is there anything I can do to get this artefact somehow managed to get underground?

Or it has been known in this recent patch?

[winter saddle]

In expedition mode and on master difficulty there are limited saves. But autosaving occurs when exiting

[latent marten]

how do i turn that off

how do u know thats the problem

i tried having it off and thats not the problem

[night agate]

I don't think their voice should be this quiet and echo

[vocal kraken]

[bright stirrup]

I mean, so far so good on the Master difficulty

[shadow dragon]

how this was done? what?

[thick zinc]

Binding of Isaac pfp spotted

[scarlet vale]

Minor radiation poisoning but no issues

[oblique rover]

I see nothing wrong here

[crimson willow]

I've looked all around and can't find diddly. The only notable thing is the license plate. Is that the thing I need to note?

"Which one?"
"The exo please."
"Ah sorry we don't have any of those."
"... I can see it... it's right there!"
"I have a Merc suit if you like?"
"... !"

Why are merchancts like this?! JUST SELL ME THE THINGS YOU HAVE ON DISPLAY!

[quick wing]

no.

[frail merlin]

Yes the Number plates show the key to the door at the dam south of the scientist bunker

[crimson willow]

Gottit! I actually remember this now.

[frail merlin]

Took me a while to find the 4th code

[fallow parcel]

praise the monolith

+warfare

combine these modes and play it on s2

it's like iron man only you spawn with another npc

[amber zealot]

interesting. i dont even have a regular grom

oh wait, here it is

@karmic nest i guess with the balancing patch and all, the s15 now does more damage than the s14.

[fallow parcel]

Those armors are cardboard compared to the x7

[karmic nest]

guess i'm sticking with the S-15, thanks for the information

[amber zealot]

i can upgrade the damage a little bit with extra barrel rifling. but that would put it on par with the s15. i would still pick the s15, since its ammo is cheaper and more common

[karmic nest]

oh that s-14 is un-upgraded so in the end they will be more or less the same but with different calibers

very interesting, maybe different builds for both, one for more ammo versatility and one for ammo economy

[karmic nest]

reflex sight and drum mag on the S-15

[amber zealot]

this is when its upgraded. the s15 can have a little more accuracy. however, its a little bit mod dependant

[karmic nest]

acog and suppressor on the S-14 haha

[fallow parcel]

S2 = gangs of Ukraine ? Who has a reason to be in the zone (like military i know)

[amber zealot]

added through a mod. i think new sights ++. turn the m16 into an assault rifle

ar416. i was thinking of the m14

[fallow parcel]

freakie

[fallow parcel]

everyone wears contacts in the zone?

[fallow parcel]

music shittyflute?

where is the bartender for mono? don't see one on the map

oh you tricked me

anyways... the guy is wearing contacts for eyes. Because he is not a vampire

[solemn sinew]

Grom S-15 is honestly the best weapon

[fallow parcel]

oh hey im not the only one with no hud

[quick wing]

[fallow parcel]

why is the damage so low on an ar416

[restive ibex]

Love these signs over the zone

[quick wing]

absolutely

[tight sinew]

Finally finished this thing. Anyone who fancies it can download from over at my blog (link in my status). This is my STALKER 2 1st Year Anniversary gift to yall fellow Loners out there!

[oblique rover]

what is this?????

[regal plume]

WOW!! 1.2%

i am doing ward playthrough this time but i shot everyone that had that bandit captured in the early game just to mess around (save scumming) and this shocked me that that amoutn of people didnt do a bad playthrough

atleast u can pretty much shoot anyone in this game unlike say fallout 4 or avowed or outer worlds

[oblique rover]

I'm doing a ward playthrough also instead of Strelok (Strelok the goat fr)

[regal plume]

yea my 1st playthrough was Strelok...this time im gona do Ward

[oblique rover]

Strelok's ending makes sense in my opinion

[regal plume]

yea i know it was his Destiny to do what he did, even tho that was pretty much one of the endings for SoC

[oblique rover]

nah Im saying it makes sense for the zone

First time running PRZ.
Lots of adjustments are still needed and I still don't know half the otpions but it looks stunning.

[fallow parcel]

Uhm... Mister?

[lusty gale]

Does anyone know how to get rid of these glow that appears on the interiors? I can not see well in the distance with it

[solemn sinew]

UE5 issue I suppose, I have it too.
Await the new UE5 update.

the bottle is under ground

[pallid barn]

Simply cry

That is all you can do or you can wait until an emission to reset it and hope it spawns above ground

[chrome warren]

what abt console commands

[pallid barn]

Maybe you can console command it into your inventory yes but I don't play on PC so idk I'm on Xbox. Edit: was gonna say "Wolf moment"

[chrome warren]

yes i can but i dont know if i should

[pallid barn]

Go ahead nobody's gonna judge you

[chrome warren]

it might disable some trophy

[pallid barn]

It shouldn't but also you can always get it in subsequent playthroughs so I wouldn't worry about it too much

They're working on a fix for the underground spawning so it'll be fixed probably next hotfix

[chrome warren]

i downloaded ue tools and now my game is constantly crashing 💔

[pallid barn]

Hope you enjoy the game love you and keep safe stalker always throw a bolt before you leap

[pallid barn]

Well damn I don't know how to fix that I'm sorry :(

[chrome warren]

its fine ill try to delete and reinstall

[pallid barn]

Ok hope that fixes it have a good one stalker and also. For The Monolith.

[violet hare]

[fallow parcel]

Rate the stash fellas

[sleek sorrel]

What are you talking about ? The video is too long or too heavy, I couldn’t share it directly on Discord, so I just uploaded it to YouTube, that’s all.

average freedomer:

[dapper blaze]

Took me forever to reach the trader with all this weight.

[crimson willow]

Pop quiz hotshot - where am I?

[reef oriole]

Looted in 1.6, I remember the guy was loaded, but I don't think he had the armour. Guy inside also had multiple weapons.

[reef oriole]

Cordon or that fenced off office close to the rail going to rostok.

[crimson willow]

Not sure if this is where you meant - but this is my location!

[reef oriole]

Yup, that's the spot.

[crimson willow]

Nice one!

[frail merlin]

Thanks, I looted the place back after the 1st or second ever big update then returned after 1.6 and only the one guy was loaded the other guy had just random basic loot on him.

[earnest jay]

Burer is dead, this poor fools is levatating endlessly

[scarlet vale]

It’s random

New gambling spot located I guess

[solemn sinew]

PRZ is very pretty, just need to finetune it before I can do my Strelok route.
Cordon to Pripyat & CNPP.

If anyone has suggestions, settings or experience with PRZ. Please help me out

I have no clue what I'm doing

[halcyon plume]

Some of the great names i found throughout my playthrough so far

[normal marlin]

Why was an average bandit packing this?? (Talking about the G36)

[normal marlin]

Oh shi..

[austere nimbus]

Maybe he scavenged it from some soldier

[normal marlin]

Maybe idk, tho I never found one till now 😭

[earnest jay]

1.7.1 - I just found heart of Chernobyl artifact in the "Stone Village"

[normal marlin]

What does it do

[earnest jay]

Nothing?

[solemn sinew]

Should heal you on its own

[earnest jay]

really? let me sell the crap I'm hauling and find some mutant friends or bandits

[solemn sinew]

GP37 / G36 somehow ends up being the most popular rifle with the Monolithians and Bandits

[normal marlin]

Bro they had Aks-u and saved off shotgun like the other day when did this mf even get that😭

[earnest jay]

aw yeah it heals you pretty good

I guess I'm gonna stop hauling medkits now

[quick wing]

https://wccftech.com/stalker-2-first-dlc-in-2026-no-news-multiplayer-cross-platform-mods/

[solemn sinew]

Spoiler warning.
The Heart of Chornobyl is a mythical and rare artifact that only ||Strelok|| is supposed to have.
Normally speaking you can only obtain it if you ||kill him in one of the several endings of the game||.

[naive geode]

Took a bit of a try with the new Immersion shot
Really love it

Also Spas can sometimes hit hard

[earnest jay]

I know, I know... but now you can get one earlier so it's actually useful!

what am I supposed to do with all the items you get in the endgame if you cannot explore anymore and there is no NG+

[solemn sinew]

Nothing, it’s useless

[earnest jay]

It's not, it heals you

[solemn sinew]

I mean late game items you get after the point of no return are useless.
But console commands exist for a reason.

[earnest jay]

the point is, it was found in anomaly and not using console commands or endgame 😄

[misty current]

maybe there is also strelok body lying somewhere nearby, or he accidentally dropped it

[earnest jay]

No I've been save & reloading looking for legendary or rare artifacts and found this

[misty current]

interesting, I wonder if it's a bug or it's actually was always possible to get a rare drop of it from anomaly

[earnest jay]

I mean I have about 500 hours in this game, if it's rare, it's veeeery rare 😄

[bright stirrup]

[earnest jay]

you broke son

[scarlet vale]

Freedom took the Science bunker in Yantar this time

[scarlet reef]

Is that RPG pack thing from a mod? Ive never seen that before

Nope, it’s a Bulat variant

[glossy hill]

An old bug. They fixed it some patches ago but it have returned

[cobalt wren]

ahh so just wait for patch?

[glossy hill]

Yeah. It previously happened most times at SIRCAA. You can try to mess up with resolution and fullscreen settings but propably it won't do anything

Had something like this months ago and it just fixed by itself

[cobalt wren]

i tried starting a new game it did not help

[glossy hill]

Restart the game maybe etc. Cannot help with this one. But that's just a bug, not because of you that's for sure

[cobalt wren]

my only day off too

[glossy hill]

I know that feeling. Yesterday had a free evening to play and after the hotfix most of the mods are broken and my saves are broken so I cannot play

And waiting for fixes

[cobalt wren]

i miss school and being able to play every day

[cursive sleet]

turn on flashlight fix it for me

but you have to keep the flashlight on, kinda annoying

[frail merlin]

Yeah same here, At SIRCAA During Story Cut-Scene🤔

[shadow dragon]

I hope GSC checks a look into this video, new public plugin for improve optimization for textures compression.

[shadow dragon]

its unreal engine early 5.1 problem with reflection

i found why , the engine turns the quality of the tree to the lowest (when the tree is out of the FOV of the player), which is the tree you are looking at when you look down. And thats the version of the tree you are seeing in the reflection the low quality tree, and that doesnt happen when you are looking straight ahead because the tree is visible and being rendered at the highest quality. Hence why the reflection is normal.

[regal plume]

`holy crap this is UE5.1? isnt it on 5.7 now?

i heard on a youtube short somthing like they are going to patch the game to the most recent verson of UE is taht true?

[timber tapir]

Where problem

[acoustic rock]

What just happened? I am not using any mods and since the last update, my game completely broke?
low fps, every tree is loading in super slowly etc.

[regal plume]

love to see that lumen ghosting without upscaling is still in the game a year later. this im sure will be fixed once they patch in the new version of ue5 (I HOPE)

that would be insane if it wasnt

yea i turned off frame gen and it stopped that scope thing but at night in the woods your arms, gun everything has really bad ghosting/tracers even with it off

[ancient star]

Seriously, What the hell is wrong with Pripyat. I almost got stunlocked.

I think its a quirk of the new A-life system. I have not ever seen a hunting pack this big. I had to take cover under one of the balconies to prevent continous knockdowns.

Dear god no way anyone has the ammo enough to kill all of them

[mortal hatch]

new sunny rain weather looks so nice! Good work, GSC!

[solemn sinew]

STALKER 2 will be updated to a newer version of Unreal Engine, most likely 5.5.4 as has been speculated for ages.
Engine upgrade is seperate from a regular update and has been rumoured to come after 1.7

As per GSC on their own website for S2

And yeah 5.7 is available since November 12th but the newer version of UE isn't always better per se

[mortal hatch]

idk what this thing is but I'd love to see usable ziplines in the Zone! How fun would that be?

[reef oriole]

It is a zipline. Follow it.

[mortal hatch]

I couldn't ride it though 😭 That and I'm trying out that freeplay mod from the Workshop, and like every rookie stalker, I said "To hell with good decision-making, I'm going to Pripyat right away!"

[hollow scaffold]

took this the other day on my way to ROSTOK

[shadow dragon]

Its not recommended to update to such a new version of the engine ,before its completely stable and gets enough testing until devs think its safe to go to the latest one.
most of the optimization is in 5.5 and 5.6 anyways

[celest flicker]

What does this say?

[sour pewter]

"Who am I?"

[mortal hatch]

If you play on Steam there’s a mod that translates a lot of the writing to English. It’s called something like English Zone

Unfortunately, other server users are apparently too young.

[real dirge]

which mods are you using ? Is this DWO with a reshade? PRZ?

[quick wing]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-gif-18174868

[hollow phoenix]

I love this game br

[sleek sorrel]

PRZ Reshade

[real dirge]

Are you also using DWO by any Chance ?

[sleek sorrel]

What is ?

[glossy hill]

Dynamic Weather Overhaul mod

TOP 1 mods of all time for S2

[sleek sorrel]

No need

[glossy hill]

Are you sure? Game with DWO looks great and much better than vanilla. But thats your choice 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🙂

[sleek sorrel]

it's ready for v1.7.1 ?

[glossy hill]

@real dirge I think DWO works okay. I'm right?

[sleek sorrel]

Alright, I’ll try that then, and maybe you could help me with something. Since the last update, I’ve been getting the message “Failed to load UE4SS”. So I installed the UE4SS mod from Nexus, but it crashes on launch, even though the game itself starts fine. Do you know how to fix this problem ?

[glossy hill]

I dont know if UE4SS is not broken due the patch but I'm not sure

[glossy hill]

Theres something like this on Nexus https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/1798

[sleek sorrel]

Are you sure this mod is safe to use ?

[glossy hill]

I dont know, havent used that

[sleek sorrel]

look like safe

[glossy hill]

Then make UE4SS files backup and try that mod

[sleek sorrel]

Okay thx

[limber hound]

All mods on nexus are safe

[sleek sorrel]

Nop, it's not true

[limber hound]

Pretty much is

[sleek sorrel]

Although the great majority of mods on Nexus Mods are indeed safe, there have already been documented cases of malware and other problems.

• In April 2025, two mods for Schedule 1 (“Increased Stack Size Limit” and “Backpack Mod Reupload”) hosted on Nexus Mods were confirmed to contain Trojan‑type malware.
• The site also publicly acknowledges that it does not guarantee absolute safety: modders are explicitly prohibited from uploading malicious content (viruses, trojans, etc.) — which implicitly means there is a real risk.

[limber hound]

False information

[shadow dragon]

actually i didnt realize the reference , i found it cool , but then a friend commented on the joke and then i realize it was a Kurt joke haha. And the fact that i listen to Nirvana almost everyday.
Shameful display from me

[sleek sorrel]

https://tenor.com/view/mads-mikkelsen-smoking-gif-24232377

[tired stag]

Nexus makes sure most of their mods are safe but cracks appear, they are dealt with relatively quickly but if you download whatever you see without a thought youre asking for it

[real dirge]

Yeah of course

[real dirge]

DWO is not really supposed to be used with PRZ by that's why I asked. I was curious if you want them together and could ask how your experience is..but seems like you don't use it then

[sharp cradle]

Do you guys like PRZ? I tried but looked too fake ... maybe ill try again later

[real dirge]

I've only tried it to figure out if it works for DWO

I would say it eventually would break/not look right but atleast it doesn't crash or look terrible

Chances are that only the Reshade version of PRZ would relatively work well with DWO

@craggy hamlet could probably have a more informed opinion on this

[sharp cradle]

Same vibe

When I get back home Imma post some more of the guitar stuff I've been working on if anyone here's interested

what the hell

[dry meadow]

where's the giant rat that makes all of the rules?

[torn copper]

they just popped their friend

[pallid barn]

Dead

[pearl island]

Even Zone tells me, that Rostok under Freedom is nicer than it was during Duty occupation xD

[long ridge]

WHAT. The 2021 trailer school hall? Where is it located?

[cerulean pollen]

Deep south of Chornobyl-2

[long ridge]

I honestly thought it was a location in Limansk

[quaint saffron]

Loving the PRZ mod the visuals 🔥

[sharp cradle]

Hmm if i remember well. Duga.

[sharp cradle]

performance impact of the PRZ ?

[regal plume]

this is acceptable?

if you are indoors looking out you cant even see more than 5 feet from the door its nothign but a white out like this

[regal plume]

there's something wrong...guys are still spawning behind you and why cant i kill zombies and/or monolith? the only way to kill them is via headshots?

[oak granite]

I’m having this exact same issue randomly when I’m exploring the open world. It seems more prevalent when running, and stops when I pause or enter an interior location. I already updated my drivers, and restarted the game. Restarting helps but eventually it happens again

[regal plume]

at the 19 second mark on my video is where the group of 3 spawn in behind me.

this is very disapointing. I thought they fixed this by now and I heard from reddit, steam and on here from people that its still happning and I didnt belive them...and it just happened to me 🙁

inside the doorway

outside the doorway

🤔

[scarlet vale]

This is bait right?

[regal plume]

why would it be? its a pretty straight foward question

[scarlet vale]

you figure out zombies die to headshots pretty quick, especially if you’re all the way in zaton in the story

[regal plume]

idk what that is

[scarlet vale]

You’re nearly halfway through the game and you don’t know the region names

[regal plume]

Zombies in this game arent invulnerable to damage..they arent undead zombies. they are just basically people suffering from shock treatment/lobotomy

[regal plume]

ive beat all 4 games already.

[scarlet vale]

And somehow you don’t know what Zaton is

[regal plume]

nope. Dont really care for the names of the areas. Garbage is the only one i know

take the coping elseware i dont need it when asking simple questions bud.

[quaint saffron]

Not much a few fps drops here and there but looks so much better

[regal plume]

Artifacting via lazer pointed at head.

[pallid barn]

Yeah I have that happen with holos sometimes

[coarse valley]

@pallid barn

[pallid barn]

I know

[pallid barn]

I pre-ordered on Xbox actually so I too have this set

[coarse valley]

@pallid barn i dont think anyone knows what it does

[crisp marlin]

I preordered my copy but I never seemed to get the mission that earns those rewards

[rose vale]

Yay got my physical copy on series x, they barely even sell physical xbox games in here anymore so this will probably be the last one i get.

[lyric peak]

The vibe coming from that second image is when a stalker said an unfunny joke for the 6th time

[coarse valley]

the gun and the armor should be in a journalists stash, 1 in zaton and 1 in garbage

[stark leaf]

to answer you in a straight forward way, zombies only die to headshots. Even grenades only knockdown, and very very rarely kill.

[regal plume]

oh ok i didnt know that

[stark leaf]

You mentioned you beat all the other games, I'm surprised you haven't picked that up by now.

[regal plume]

GSC really needs to do something about this. this is how it looks liek when its over cast sky and raining outside

[regal plume]

always thought it was a bug lmao just ignored it

[stark leaf]

This is a feature, whenever you go from dark and dingy to outside light, your eyes aren't fully adjusted yet.

[regal plume]

thats a good excuse

maybe if its super bright outside but not when its raining and pretty much nighttime lol

when u play at night and turn all the lights out it literally makes you see spots haha just like IRL!!!...i love this game its great

[lyric peak]

Fun fact for that one is because our brains are not used to pitch darkness, so it creates 'visual noise' in our viewpoints to fill in the gaps of not seeing anything. Hence why we see spots and shapes (not the point of hallucinating, that's different).

||(sorry had to say it, I let the dumb nerd escape)||

[sleek sorrel]

v1.7

v1.7.1

[pallid barn]

Lol

[pallid barn]

This isn't a problem for me I get 60 fps consistently (on Xbox SERIES S)

[sleek sorrel]

Ok, and you don't have mods

[pallid barn]

I have 10 :/

And 4 conflict they work but they conflict

[sleek sorrel]

Oh really ? Consoles have mods now ?

[pallid barn]

Yes Xbox has mod support are you dense?

[pallid barn]

PS5 doesn't but Xbox has mod.io support this is common knowledge.

[sleek sorrel]

I didn’t know, I just don’t care about consoles, that’s all.

[pallid barn]

Ok

[sleek sorrel]

And just to respond to that, on PC, when the game runs and updates don’t break everything, we get over 144 FPS, so yeah, I prefer PC.

[pallid barn]

Ok

[frail merlin]

Guess he don't wanne share😅

[regal plume]

is this the professor from the first 2 games??!!

this guy

this is what its all about!!! THAT LORE!!! i love finding little stuff like this!!

Dev pics! I wonder how many are in the game. do you get anythign for collecting them all?

i love stuff like this...Remedy used to stuff like this in Max Payne 1 & 2

[frail merlin]

That is Professor Sakharov yes, maybe- Professor Kruglov is the scientist you escort to the bunker in Shadow of Chernobyl

[fallow parcel]

So cool wow progamer alert 🚨

[carmine narwhal]

The first screenshot is from a third-person perspective.

[cerulean pollen]

No, we don't know what happened to him

[regal plume]

how do you kill these things? ive been attacked by electric ones too. What are they called? I think they were in Metro too and they are based on real life phenomena

[regal plume]

no i was asking was the dead guy him?

[cerulean pollen]

Do not wear any artifacts and it won't chase you

[regal plume]

im not. your saying it wont attack me if i just walk down there?

[sharp cradle]

If you are using artifacts, they eill chase you

[sharp cradle]

Beautiful, what mods?

[regal plume]

this is why its so important that you play legends of the zone trilogy because you wont understand nor give a shit about stuff like this

[glossy hill]

There's a difference between surenames Sakharov and Zakharov. We dont know what happend to Prof. Sakharov after ShoC, but I'm sure that this body belongs to another person.

Maybe we will find out what happend to him in nearest DLC

[regal plume]

yea i know he was kinda a big deal in the 1st 2 games but he was old as shit hed be like 90 now

[glossy hill]

Propably he died naturally but who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

But yeah, he played a major role in the series, need to agree.

[gilded cave]

I really like Fridays

[buoyant hazel]

crazy jerboa

[buoyant hazel]

this game clearly needs more time in the oven. after this video i took half a step outside and immediately keeled over and died not even being given a chance to avoid the emission. i then tried to load my save and the game froze forcing me to alt f4. i'll go 5 minutes of normal gameplay before encountering another visual artifact/bug like this and/or random and sudden extreme fps loss for no reason. unmodded btw.

[vast dust]

yall you think this is enough ammunition to last the entire game from point of no return?

[sour pewter]

(sure - there are supplies along the way no worries)

[vast dust]

i mean i played through the game before but like 5.56 is just really rare in the CNPP for some reason

[sour pewter]

I guess it depends on your playstyle but I certainly did not bring 700 ammo for my rifle lol ||tho I do bring a sniper + gauss|| so it all adds up to be more than enough

[dry forge]

when i went in i brought the beast and a 1000 rounds of extra ammo ontop of the 500 loaded 🤣

had to chuck it mid way through :L, was to heavy. what you have there seems fine, you get guns aswell as ammo so you can change things up if needed.

I'm actually really proud of this one so I hope whoever watches it likes it :)

[mellow jasper]

absolutely shredding that acoustic

[pallid barn]

Thank you I practice a lot :)

[mortal hatch]

you know, the next time I see plants that I'm mostly sure is hogweed, I'm just going to assume it's hogweed and not touch it lol this is the second game where I saw it, thought it, touched it, got hurt by it!

[near viper]

wow i didnt even know that

[quick wing]

where is here :D? it's remind me Metro games

[torn copper]

the east tunnel of the bridge in the cordon, just watch out for the sneaky bandits

[obtuse yew]

i feel like i saw the top of the flowers in another game, i think it was Dying Light The Beast? and they did damage in that one too.

[shadow dragon]

from that angle , it looks like a sidescroller rendered 3d platformer, where you control a rat and you have to jump over debris and chemical waste

[severe kernel]

Is this a poltergiest

[frail merlin]

It's hard to tell, it can be a toxic cloud anomaly too

[severe kernel]

It kept throwing toxic pools at me

[frail merlin]

Is this a bit west of Yaniv Station and is there an artifact near him then Yes, it's the Poltergeist.

[wicked turret]

anybody is having same visual problems as me?

[severe kernel]

Went back and finished it off ty

[mortal hatch]

That’s the one exactly! I saw them and was like Is that hogweed???
Then I saw the poster in a pharmacy (I think) that confirmed it was indeed, hogweed

[mortal hatch]

Yea, very toxic plant that stings you, causes huge blisters. Those things will eff you up!

Screenshot was taken at the hospital, the little courtyard. They deal chemical damage. Weird thing is, I don’t remember the hogweed being there before though…

//edit: looked it up, I guess I missed it somehow lol

[bright stirrup]

I feel good
(With Epic Preset, DLAA and FG)

[near viper]

yes same i knew it existed irl but ive never seen it in game before

[mortal hatch]

I've seen a few around Zaton, but from what I could tell they were just foliage props. The ones at the hospital in Pripyat kinda glow green, so they're like a minor anomaly

[fast wagon]

jajaja asta los chupasangres le tienen miedo al Monolito

[fleet glen]

i seem to have encountered a never before seen anomaly, and these chaps are taking full advantage of it

[wicked turret]

Report it

[wicked turret]

I have never seen something like this in my game

[naive geode]

Made it to Malachite Region in Master Difficulty

[half oyster]

[regal plume]

Can someone translate this for me?

i wish they would react to this lmfao

How are we supposed to enjoy this game when stuff like this is happening all the time. This never happened last year when I played this game Day 1. I hit record about halfway through this cutscene it was a blinding white strobe light right before this thats why i hurried up and started recording since u cant pause cutscenes.

im trying to send this to GSC via bug report but everytime i try to upload a video like this it says this

its 334MB .mp4 ...is it suposed to be another format?

anyone else more experianced in this field of bug reporting/QA ?

[deft wraith]

it's too big... Use google drive

[regal plume]

whats that goign to do i cant send them a link they needed uploaded to their forum, right??

[real dirge]

Clear shaders, and dont skip it when its rebuilding them. This is a UE issue and can occur in any UE game. Ive seen it from BL4 to Exp 33. Not a GSC thing

NVIDIA Users:

Press Win + R, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\NVIDIA\DXCache and press Enter
Delete all files in this folder
Check %LOCALAPPDATA%[GameName] (may be in alternate location but should be next to save files) for upipelinecache or ushaderprecache files and delete them
Start your game and shader compilation should begin
AMD Users:

Use AMD Adrenalin software > Graphics > Advanced > Reset Shader Cache
Check %LOCALAPPDATA%[GameName] (may be in alternate location but should be next to save files) for upipelinecache or ushaderprecache files and delete them
Start your game and shader compilation should begin

that or Dalin is just so excited about the artefact

[regal plume]

i do do shader cache everytime i start the damn game lol. i reawlly hope the ue5.5 update fixes stuff

[real dirge]

i mean clear you shaders and let them recompile entirely this time

[regal plume]

oh ok ill try that. good idea

[real dirge]

getting fresh shaders just does amazing things for the game

[regal plume]

this time the shader cache is taking super long to load this time after i deleted that file and did the reset

i remmeber doing this a long time ago but i deleted the cache folder in file explorer it was like 12gb

[real dirge]

thats it. itll work after

I almost fully upgraded it

[past jetty]

@normal marlin Well, yes, it's completely up to date and good, especially for psionic anomalies, but I really don't like the type of suit it's made of. It's a matter of personal taste, but once I finished the swamp mission, I sold it immediately, even though I spent a lot of money upgrading it.

[naive geode]

5 year old bios update in due

[regal plume]

GAMMA is s stalker 2 mod? i thought it was CoP

[scarlet vale]

It’s CoP, it just gives people options (And GSC promotes their new game )

[regal plume]

Im guessing this is part of the game? that Monolith just absorbs RPG rounds ? 🤣

[polar nimbus]

probably lumen exposure freaking out
+5.1 reflection denoiser being garbage

[regal plume]

i just noticed at the end when i turn my light out the quality unreal engine ghosting

what is the best combo?

some guy on youtube had contrast and brightness all the way down to 30 and the saturation at 100% and Gamma at 80 🤣 ..that was is "Optimized"

this is the only problem i have with Frame Generation. They really need to fix this becuse its with everything, its pretty bad in Borderlands 4 too

most people wont even know what im talking about, its the lazer dot on all holographic and lazer scopes. something with opaque textures

[regal plume]

this game gets guns right! 99% of military sim games when you reload with a 50% magazine they still cock the bolt even with a bullet in the chamber. This game ges it right and is always a pet-peve of mine. I wish all developers who make mil sim games whether its COD or Battlefield or Halo whatever, should have to do some kind of firearms training whether its just a basic hunter saftey course, or couple hours at the gun range shooting a .22cal pistol/rifle.

[regal plume]

graphical ghosting . Im guessing this is a unreal engine 5 problem? Tim Sweeny = "👉🏻 " ...when really its

its just all these little things, the ghosting, the sight issue i posted etc...they all add up and ruin the gameplay...the lore, narrative, dialogue, art style/environmental storytelling is great.

[regal plume]

I always say you need atleast 2 of the 3 to have a good game. Gameplay, Graphics and Story. Stalker nails the story and graphics and to an extent the gameplay, if it werent ruined by the technical stuff like having to have a NASA PC with a Ezo drive to get good performance at native resoultion.

[regal plume]

whered u get that Magnum handgun ?

[vocal kraken]

the one from the screenshot, is from ultimate edition of the game. "model competitor" its in journalist stash near yanov

[regal plume]

whoever says the NVG in Stalker 2 is "just a filter" is either lying, in denial or has cognitive dissonance.

[regal plume]

I thought the NPCs spawning out of thin air was fixed?

Monolith helmets bleed ?

Blair Witch Project vibes!!!

[real dirge]

they added arming stages to RPGs. You might need to stand furtehr away

[regal plume]

did u watch the whole clip? u can see how eventually on the 5th shot it blows up and they are all the same distance

[dry forge]

IKR

i really hope the issues are fixed in the future, probably along with the engine upgrade. for me its become really hard not to be completely distracted by it all.

[mortal token]

I just found a Heart of Chornobyl artifact in a helicopter right after emission, how the hell is it even possible?! It's a bug or i don't know something?

[cerulean pollen]

where'd they all go?

[hollow crag]

Beautiful Zone shots!

[clear sigil]

I don't think this is normal

[vocal kraken]

thank you. ive seen you used few as thumbnail, i was kinda shocked seeing it

[lapis scaffold]

I found him like this

[regal plume]

look at the lighting reflections on my gun & the smearing on the walls when i aim/swap weapons and this is Epic settings too. I have TSR 80%. Frame Generation On/Off does nothing. 3800x/6700xt/32gb ram/NVMe M.2 SSD

Ive tried graphics mods, lighting mods, performance mods (.ini tweaks) nothing makes it better, if anythign mods and ini tweaks make it worse 🙁

[sand nymph]

Stash is on the very top of the building but I can't remember how to get there. Anyone remember where the teleport anomaly to reach that area is?

Can't figure out how to get this stash either; any help would be appreciated.

The Elephant's Foot is gone.

Someone at GSC was paid actual money to model a flesh's testicles/scrotum and penile sheath.

Amazing.

The stats probably wouldn't be the best, but I wish this older variant of the SSP suit was obtainable.

Be nice if the Spark exoskeleton (and rad suit) were obtainable as well. The Spark variant of the SSP-99/99M suit, the IPSF variant of the Bulat suit, the SSP-99M suit, the Corps suit variants, and the PSZ heavy suit exoskeleton variants should be available to the player too.

Also radsuit variants for every corresponding exoskeleton.

[hollow crag]

They are awesome! ngl

[regal plume]

ive been trying to send this to the developers but the submit ticket thing wont allow you to send .mp4 videos for some reason idk why it keeps saying im taking too long when goto upload them. So I just want peopel to know im not spamming i am uploading this stuff here for developers records hopfully they see them on here and can address this cause this is pretty bad. im playing this in a dark room and when this just get brighter and brighter i have to turn the lights on so my eyes adjust and i see spots 🙁

for reference its here:

[prisma kayak]

the games already broken lol

maybe because the file it using has been compressed by windows?

Many thanks!

Really wish they would let us get the alternative variants of the armors

[compact fossil]

From who are all the photos in the game? from the devs perhaps? ^^

[charred kestrel]

yup

[old rose]

ive never seen this before

[gilded cave]

where are the eye textures of the snorks lol

[severe kernel]

Rats

@glossy hill How did you remove the viewfinder? Did you use a mod?

[past jetty]

atmosfere its crazy beatiful Only Metro Exodus can give you the same vibes and atmosphere.

[glossy hill]

what viewfinder?

[stoic oyster]

@past jetty I love this game vibe fr

[past jetty]

mirino ,crosshairs

[glossy hill]

You can hide hud elements in settings or turn on immersive mode

[past jetty]

No, sorry, maybe you didn't understand me. How can you have athree-line rifle without a sight?

[past jetty]

because inside his scanner there is a very, very special artefact that you will discover as you go along.

[pale dove]

i was thinking that but also the ward act like scanners are so rare

[glossy hill]

Ah, okay. Its a mod

I think OXA does that

[cerulean pollen]

The scanners were never supposed to be in the Zone. Skif's one alone was a catastrophe, but existence of multiple ones there meant that someone was stealing them from the SIRCAA, and that someone was building the whole scheme to get them to the Zone, for their own purposes.

[pale dove]

ahhhhh

[frail merlin]

Hehe

[frail merlin]

Make a Corps and Ward SEVA Variant !😱 🥳

[reef oriole]

Yeah, I would like if armours had a colour variant for all factions. But then faction specific armour does not. Give a guy more options for a faction specific run.

[ashen plaza]

they just running in circles trying to walk into the window 😂

[obsidian wraith]

Stalker is so gorgeous

[reef oriole]

Finally got flash royal.

[past jetty]

It is already a unique game in its genre, alongside the Metro series of masterpieces.

[compact fossil]

He is old and has grey star! xD

[gilded cave]

You can see through his eyes how much time he has spent suffering from the experiments in the Unreal Engine laboratories

[gilded cave]

@polar nimbus

[drifting linden]

Jackpot

[polar nimbus]

okay you know what, ghosting in general is 💀 here

[gilded cave]

yes it is, my old 2080s is not well while playing this game

can't even think of play without upscaler

[polar nimbus]

i thought it was specific to particles but no, that looks totally busted

[gilded cave]

not using any graphic mod, all is vanilla so probably just some kind of incompatibilitie with dlss of stalker 2 and old gpu hardware

but to be honest never has this kind of ghosting with other game, while using dlss only at stalker 2

[gilded cave]

i've been testing dlss updates and i think i fix the ghosting with dlss swapper, seems much less noticeable now

also remove the dx12 launch parameter on steam but this probably it's a placebo as you told me....

3.7.20 (left) ---- 3.8.1 (right) (same weather - same game load-same time)

so if anyone has having ghosting with the dlss a dlss update with DLS Swapper could help

[polar nimbus]

since 3.8 looks a ton better im guessing the devs were using an old model of CNN, not even preset E/F...

[gilded cave]

@reef oriole

dam sorry about the weird pics guys but this is the only channel for share screenshots

[reef oriole]

Are you showing the weird white in the back?

[gilded cave]

yes, that was cause of the fog setting on mid, it happen even on high, it completely solved or barely noticeable on epic

it takes some fps but i think is worth it, otherwise interior looks really bad with this kind of issues

[reef oriole]

Oh, alright.

[polar nimbus]

looks like lumen having a seziure to me

[reef oriole]

That's what I thought.

[placid berry]

nice fake

The first part of the clip is version 1.0, to be used as a point of comparison.

[scarlet reef]

Ohhhh gotcha

[wanton epoch]

I'm pretty sure you couldn't do that in the trilogy. What a wonderful experience be able to sneak like that.

[drifting linden]

guys what do you think about this picture i took

[drifting linden]

?

[leaden mountain]

Really good

[granite knot]

One of my favorite military trucks

[drifting linden]

took also this picture at the parking lot

[sudden oak]

I d'ont see that much difference

[fresh stump]

1.7

1.0

[sudden oak]

both looking good

[fresh stump]

Focus on the density of the vegetation

[sudden oak]

Ah yes, but not change that much

[fresh stump]

That's up to each person to decide.

[sudden oak]

Just hope that engine update make both quality and performance better :)

[fresh stump]

Yeaaaassss

Let's hope they reverse these changes and we get better performance

[sudden oak]

yes

[sand nymph]

How the hell do I get these two stashes? Are they in the Ahroproom Underground? I swear I couldn't access them from there either but I can check again...

[narrow stratus]

Lol its almost 50% less

I guess would been better with matching pics

[fresh stump]

I find it curious because I find some people who notice the difference and others who don't

[dense sonnet]

The left one is in X5 in that circular room above containment cells, it only appears after you've completed the main mission there

[narrow stratus]

Casual gamer vs Pro gamer ig

Maybe also use Imgur to have for others less compression.

[fresh stump]

ok

[narrow stratus]

WTF even trees are missing and lot less shadows.

[fresh stump]

yea is crazy that i have only +2 fps on that part

[narrow stratus]

Does the Original video also look that compressed?

[fresh stump]

nop i compressed the video for discord, the original is 4k

[buoyant hazel]

@sand nymph this area in the cordon when you climb down the slope from the bridge.

@sand nymph

[narrow stratus]

DId i miss something? Why do we have stalker with 160GB here

[fresh stump]

Idk 1.0 was 110 gb

[grim solar]

have yet to find a meat lighter

[narrow stratus]

Damn we got 60GB more for just few stuff

[glossy hill]

DWO?

[placid berry]

Hello, can you give me your config to improve graphics?

[stark ocean]

Modded?

[surreal lichen]

Im gonna link this to #pc-specs . My first build that was done all myself

[quick wing]

https://tenor.com/view/very-based-kruglov-approves-stalker-gif-24761835

[glossy hill]

Sure

Ultra+, DWO, Forest Rebirth, Autumn mod

[glossy hill]

As above

[mellow jasper]

Nope, that’s just with everything on high no graphical mods other than grass and a forest mod

Other than that no graphical or weather mods.

[mellow jasper]

One of the reasons I love this game. Everywhere you look is so cinematic

[past jetty]

Very nice, clean white, nice PC, RX9070 graphics card

[surreal lichen]

Thank you I was worried the black aio & ram wouldnt look right in the white case. But now I think the black in the gpu really ties it together

[past jetty]

yes it's fine

[scarlet vale]

If you couldn’t tell by the video I’ve learned ‘music fade out =/= safe’

[rotund phoenix]

They patched another way into Pripyat early

[young dagger]

Both weapons shown as one

[celest tangle]

Bugged artifact spawn

[stone jetty]

Classic

[scarlet crown]

Maybe you can find the artifact here 😄

Also beware of dangerous doors.

[naive geode]

Is This a new Anomaly??

[tame zodiac]

is there any way to remove this grainy buggy light?

[tame zodiac]

This thing.

[reef oriole]

It's the baked in lumen having a tizzy. Some say by running some setting higher clears up the artifacting,

[clear sigil]

Welcome to UE5 lmao

[fresh stump]

scratch boy

[clear sigil]

This is the worse part of the game by far. I don't have time to try 50 times and wait for the load screen..

[pallid rock]

You can clear this room while hiding in an open crate.

[clear sigil]

I finished it hiding behind the back left server cabinets

Annoying as hell tho

[pallid rock]

I agree, my first attempt to play the game in one life on Master ended right in this room.

[finite eagle]

me get no crashes

[clear sigil]

It's just Unreal 5 trying to stop me just as I'm about to help scar bring on the Shining Zone.

I can't wait to get the best ending in the game.

[mild rapids]

why is my game like this after the new update

[lyric peak]

If your dlss settings are already turned off, turn your flashlight on and off. Not a permanent fix though.

[mild rapids]

huh

that actualy worked
this game is weird

[clear sigil]

yeah, I play in 21:9 (5120x2160) and it does this ALL the time. At launch this wasn't an issue.

I resorted to playing full screen, forced 16:9 with the widescreen black bars enabled, this seems to have fixed the problem at like 99%.

I got to do a second ending, hopefully it's fixed by next year when I download the game again

[mellow jasper]

This game is something else..

[wanton epoch]

Try the fog epic setting. This is one tip I met somewhere.

[hearty bluff]

Um...

[mellow jasper]

whoa you can make your own decisions..

[polar nimbus]

nothing out od thw ordinary
just lumen having a seziure

[past jetty]

It's a shame that few people understand what Stalker 2 really is: the atmosphere, the freedom, the various landscapes.

[torn copper]

[earnest jay]

He took my shotgun below ground, anomaly took him

[maiden moss]

PS5 1.7.1 - artifacts still spawn inside textures 🤙🏻

[charred kestrel]

that's not underground tho

[maiden moss]

However, it still not in the right place

[charred kestrel]

what is the right place?

[maiden moss]

Near the dead body/in his hand

[tawdry verge]

I can see this as a main menu screen.

Also probably 60 hours in and never heard this music on the radios till now.

[amber zealot]

@paper minnow her harassing me in dm's now -.-

[lyric peak]

Bruh

[charred kestrel]

you baited him too hard

[amber zealot]

i did no baiting. he provided all the angry commentary

[obsidian cipher]

sworski93 has been banned

Reason: harrassment

[paper minnow]

to finish him off

[paper minnow]

https://tenor.com/view/fatality-mortal-kombat-finish-him-smile-gif-17727975

[real dirge]

lmao

[rugged coral]

taking random damage in the lesser zone, drains my stamina too. Not overweight, no artifacts. Fresh save from a few days ago, happened only now when updating to 1.7.1

just wanted to see if anyone has this issue aswell and / or has a solution to fix this. Yes i have changed a file a tiny bit by just disabling UE5 Lumen aswell as removing the mouse smoothing.

[paper minnow]

Odd

https://support.stalker2.com/

Report it here

[rugged coral]

hold on, i restarted the game and it doesnt seem persistant in my late game save, gimme a sec.

game seems to have randomly fixed itself. Now im just dying to blind dogs haha

[past jetty]

its very strange

[paper minnow]

Well, glad it was an easy fix. Still worth reporting though1

[rugged coral]

damn bro

[stark ocean]

He seems well packed for delivery! 🚚 📦

[mellow jasper]

Right, it’s nice to just explore and do side quests. No need to rush the story

[cerulean pollen]

The floor's hungry, the artifacts are not enough

[amber zealot]

so, i bought hte double bell mosin nagant. but we all know. that a mosin nagant, isnt complete, without the pistol nagant.

so i also bought this. all airsoft, of course.

[real dirge]

its DLSS issue

[amber zealot]

yea. you sometimes fix it by manually updating DLSS of stalker 2. or by switching to FSR

maybe updating drivers as a whole could help.

im not sure how that works. if its alright, each game has its own DLSS file. one game shouldnt interfere with another concerning DLSS

[regal plume]

DEV PICS! how many of them are there ? I wish there was like a achivement to unlock for finding them named "Catch them all!" like pokemon 🙂

[regal plume]

Grandpa

[regal plume]

WTF is that thing?! lmfao UUUUUUUUUUGLAY

[stoic oyster]

Human's upper arm, monkeys hair, goblin heads nice creature collabo xd

[mellow jasper]

these look sick

[scarlet reef]

Would

[rustic heart]

Thanks man Onit and lOO are the who created the reshades. Idk how lol
