I used to be bothered by some of the bugs, vast amounts of NPCs dying or this, that, but eh. Just play to have some fun.

Hope they fix the issue soon for you

Reduce bloom or smth if you’re using reshades

[fallow parcel]

im not using any mods. playing on High preset its been like this everywhere how long u been playing this game?. there is no Bloom setting 🤣 its from Lumen

when i say everywhere i mean when you are indoors during a sunny day and looking outside windows or doors, in this case im at the exit house of Xlabs3 right after u meet Strelok for the first time

[smoky venture]

I got a question and I don't know which topic is the best to ask, so I will put it here. Sorry if this is not the correct one. I found this easter egg 3 days ago. Posted in the subreddit about it. Its a loaf of bread that can be found in the bakery in Rostok. It is inside the bakery counter and only accessible by nocliping through. It has written on it "ЧОРНИЙ СТАЛКЕР Є , Я ЙОГО БАЧИВ", which translates to something like "Black Stalker, I saw him". From what people said this is a reference to the Black Stalker cut content (https://tinyurl.com/BlkStalkerRedditPost) that it is based on the Black Alpinist folklore story (https://tinyurl.com/UAwikiarticle). In one of the versions the Black Alpinist is asking for bread. My question is, does somebody know if this has been found before and can we estimate when it was added? I have been messing with noclip about a year ago in Rostok look around and out of bounds and I do not remember to have noticed this thing. Maybe somebody who was also sneaking around relatively recently or something in the bakery has an idea around when and if it was there?

[near viper]

Idk Ive played for abt 350h and I get this stuff too sometimes but im using some mods and reshades which times to times make things either worse or better. And stuff like this was fixable for me

[near viper]

I don’t think that’s a lumen issue. Probably auto-exposure

Still there are things we can blame lumen for

[fallow parcel]

his last name is Smartass. hes a Hugo Boss model lmfao that pose

[fallow parcel]

is this max settings?

[real dirge]

This looks like PRZ

[fallow parcel]

whats that mean?

[carmine narwhal]

Almost, hair on low settings, vegetation on high, rendering distance on "far", the rest of the settings are epic in Full HD

[fallow parcel]

yea i thought so, see the game was clearly designed on max settings thats why anything less than Epic looks like dogshit

[carmine narwhal]

From PRZ only reshade, since my laptop can't handle this graphics.

[fallow parcel]

idk what that is i dont use mods on this game

[carmine narwhal]

Well, to be honest, the game is almost no different, the only thing that affects performance is the settings that I listed and you can also add "global illumination", it also plays a role

[carmine narwhal]

You play on a console?

Switching back to DWO so I wont see those beautiful sunsets for a good while

[full raven]

May have taken over an entire year to arrive but my stalker 2 physical edition finally came

[karmic jackal]

Is that the game or the real life?

[torn copper]

its in-game

[glossy flume]

Not that difficult to see that it's a screenshot imo

[glossy hill]

That's Clear Sky or Oblivion Lost lighting? But DWO have beautifull sunsets too

[glossy flume]

Clear sky. And a custom reshade. I Like clear sky but I want some fog and only DWO has it sadly

[glossy hill]

Clear Sky is nice but its a bit incosinstent. Sometimes it looks goregous, sometimes not so much. Clouds are bad imo. DWO is much more balanced

Some of my sunsets with DWO, it looks good too

[glossy flume]

I chose CS mainly due to the sunsets/sunrises since theyre just otherworldly sometimes

[glossy flume]

Golden hour is golden hour it will always be gorgeous

[glossy hill]

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about that DWO looks good mostly in all scenarious

Nightime and fog is on a different level than Clear Sky. But I can agree that Clear Sky have the best sunsets

[glossy flume]

I dont like how ace made the fog in DWO, a lil too much visibility imo but overall yea its better than CS

Cause fog is not implemented in the base game so Ace have been working from scratch. Same situation was with light rain - it was in DWO before GSC dropped it but it looked much worse than GSC version. But Ace took it after and made it even better then

Worst thing in Clear Sky are the clouds imo. They look like a wonky, grainy bubbles. And they look the same in all the weather scenarios, even at night. DWO have cloud system that really looks realistic and a bit like an Oblivion Lost skyboxes

[glossy flume]

Well you can get a foggy weather by using a console command but it automatically changes to another one after like 10 secs

[glossy hill]

So it's in game but not implemented already 🙂

GSC propably gonna rework and add fog to the game on engine update

Its in the game for only a one moment when you enter the Park in Pripyat when going to generators, but its a scripted stuff

[real dirge]

Ayo whos' talking sh1t about DWO?? /S

I'm only joking ofc. The difference between CS and DWO is that CS tries something new with the lighting while DWO can be considered Vanilla Plus somehow . Also DWO goes beyond the weather and lighting and I overhaul most VFX, transition paths, Emission, etc 😉

[stone lichen]

No because I play on Xbox Cloud Play. It has low aliasing and graphics is set to low by default. Which I have no choice to change that. Hopefully they improve the cloud streaming. I still love the game.

Is the background blur a post-processing effect on the screenshots, or was it done directly in the in-game photo mode?

I don't retouch screenshots it's all ingame, straight out of the stalker 2 folder.

[torpid token]

So how did you blur the background? Or how did you turn on the focus?

[craggy hamlet]

with mods, I'm using PRZ with Relook to add filmstocks color correction, lens effect, grain and depth of field (the blur)

[torpid token]

Relook? I searched for it on NexusMods and didn't find anything

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 News (@Stalker2News)

First look on the first S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl DLC

▶ Play video

X · Mar 23, 2026, 1:37 PM

[limber shuttle]

Some cool reveals in the upcoming partner preview certainly teaser for upcoming DLC

First of course is the famous Golden corridor from inside the CNPP, excited for the region to unlock and especially to explore the building itself

The second strikes familiarity to me with the item 62 Testing Room under Iron Forest from Call of Pripyat, would make sense that it gets moved to the actual Iron Forest Region now with that also becoming accessible in this. (Though correct me if I'm wrong, isn't there a similar looking room somewhere in the game already with that device towards the end?) Also of course appears Svarog detector is to return, be curious to see how they distinguish it from Veles here

Third, tough to ID anyone but presumably mocap scene from new DLC lol can anyone like blow up the image brightness or something and look for better detail like visible patch?

And then that fourth bit with Duty soldier holding you presumably another cutscene, dude looks to be holding an SKS 👀

[normal sable]

Fyi not my video

[cerulean pollen]

2nd is in SIRCAA, the room with the anomaly protection device.

[dry meadow]

GSC were definitely paying homage to the classic "Heart Attack Simulator" clip by placing a lone chimera in the swamps

[dry meadow]

the fact that the people in the third image/clip have access to a functioning helicopter heavily implies they're a faction (possibly a new one) that has strong, well-funded connections to the Mainland. So either Mercs, Ward, ISPF, or a new faction--maybe ultra clandestine that directly work for the Regulatory Board, since they seem to have no distinguishing features unlike the other factions of the Zone.

Also, the way Zulu is hyped up around the Duty base, I'm thinking the Duty exo stalker might be Zulu himself, or maybe a member of Zulu's splinter group. Also SKS hype!

But yeah, those are my little theories. God I can't wait for this expansion to drop.

[cerulean pollen]

3rd one has Voronin and Zulu. And Duty's definitely not sponsored by the Regulatory Board - they have the Ward, and the events of the DLC start after the Signal, therefore Duty and Ward are no longer allies.

[dry meadow]

I didn't realize the people with the chopper were Duty because of the lighting not revealing the uniforms colors, but that makes sense (and I did think the guy in the background looked like Zulu, despite the graininess of the image; mainly I was just thrown off by the fact a faction that isn't the Ward having a helicopter). And I also wondered if maybe the DLC would start after the Signal, so that's cool.

Another thing I'm hoping is introduced in the DLC is the ability to officially join factions. The Signal reignites the Faction Wars after all, so it would be cool if we could directly be involved in them by being able to join Duty or Freedom.

[obtuse yew]

see those lines? the SKS doesn't have those.

not to mention the charing bolt or whatever on an SKS is shorter i'm seeing

found someone's 3D model and turned it to be similar to the Teaser's angle and it looks like it's an SVT, not an SKS.

[rotund bobcat]

Does look more like an SVT than an sks

[slender tartan]

SKS imo

[wary kestrel]

it kinda looks like a variant of a g3

[slender tartan]

hmm

[red isle]

That is a saiga

[red isle]

There’s a knob for the end iron sight

[wary kestrel]

ehhhhhhhhhh

it doesn't look the same

[slender tartan]

yeah. It just doesnt look same

[wary kestrel]

like i highly doubt they would just make a random stylized version of a gun that already existed in the game and make it look so different

[red isle]

Not sure what guns has a knob thing like that

[wary kestrel]

whats so annoying is

the god ray is in the way of seeing if there is a break in the barrel

or if its a single solid tube

[red isle]

In the clip the end of the barrel looks curved like an sks/ak and you’d thing youd be able to see more of the mag if it was a Sks

[wary kestrel]

like IF under the god ray there is a break in the barrel and thats some sort of muzzle device on the end

it would be a slam dunk for the fal

[red isle]

if it’s a fal but that would be dope

Idk that pics confusing

[wary kestrel]

the god ray is literally the biggest issue in figuring out exactly what we are looking at

[slender tartan]

Idk. The fall has more edged lines at the end of foregrip. So idk if its that

[wary kestrel]

it really does look like the barrel at the end is wider than the barrel at the start of the gun

[slender tartan]

But tha barrel is too thin for Saiga 12 imo. But that could be just bcs of this ART picture

[wary kestrel]

as if its a got a muzzle device

[slender tartan]

here is full pic. Not zoomed in from my screen
idk if some details were lost due to lower pixels of screen

[wary kestrel]

like it looks like there is a knob of some kind

[red isle]

Just don’t think the grip wraps all the way around like a fal too

[wary kestrel]

and if you look at this

its got the same knob

and though its obscured the iron sight may be the blur that can be seen slightly above the knob

[red isle]

Guess it could be some type of g3

[wary kestrel]

the one i just posted is the AG-3

but

[red isle]

Has a longer barrel tho and no muzzle device

[wary kestrel]

most of the g3s have that knob at the front

[slender tartan]

and the end of foregrip doesnt match imo

[wary kestrel]

WAIT

I THINK I FOUND THAT MATCH

[obtuse yew]

oo a PSG 1

[red isle]

Still some weird ass knob rifles don’t have a knob

[obtuse yew]

i feel a lot more confident about my take on the SVT VS SKS than i do about this one lol.

[red isle]

Your vote sks?

[wary kestrel]

mmmmm

no i don't think its a PSG

the PSG has the knob removed

[obtuse yew]

my vote on what the gun is when we see someone get choked out by someone in an Exo suit, si that i seriously think it's an SVT and NOT, an SKS

[wary kestrel]

i doubt it personally

game doesn't really need a SVT

the SVD is already the same type of weapon

[obtuse yew]

i get that point of view on it since we have the SVD, SVU and the Mosin all using the same round as an SVT

[wary kestrel]

the sks seems like a way more likely pick

even if a SVT leaves open the possibility for a unique AVT

[obtuse yew]

i still want the RPD they teased me with from the get go.

[wary kestrel]

@stable hound sir i need your gun autism what gun do you think this women is holding

@slender tartan

[slender tartan]

Hmmm

[wary kestrel]

thats a hk SR9

which is a civilian version of a modern g3 basically

BUT ANOTHER HAND IN THE FAL CAMP

these fals are straight barrel with no muzzle

and look even more similiar

they ALSO have a knob and the knob looks a lot closer to the knob seen in the picture

[obtuse yew]

imagine if it turns out it's a whole other thing

[wary kestrel]

like look at the knob

its got the slit like the one in the photo kinda appears to have

[slender tartan]

Thats also possible

[wary kestrel]

im hoping crash knows

[slender tartan]

Yeah. But this knob is different. Its not round. Thats why i wasnt So sure with Fal

[wary kestrel]

he knows like every gun ever so if he doesn't know idk what it could be

[obtuse yew]

i do feel like i can faintly see a hole in the thing but idk

[slender tartan]

If only i would know, where ppl took this big image. Bcs its from thumbnail of video, which is small. But the pic doesnt end at this point. It goes further Down and while it is covered by word XBOX, there maybe could be some detaily to see. But idk

[stable hound]

Hard to say, could be a Rem 700, could be a PSG1, its too blurry to say.
Theres like 2000 different heavyish barreled rifles it could be.

[wary kestrel]

we really grasping at straws then

honestly it was the perfect trailer. Revealed enough to get us hyped, but hid so much more as to not spoil everything. Like I imagine this update will also expand Jupiter and parts of Prypiat as well.

and some parts of the Cooling Towers, too, hopefully

[tired stag]

well it sucks

of course he wouldnt

[red isle]

Also the g3 in the trailer had a tiny barrel unless it’s a variation

[rotund bobcat]

Could be a shorter barreled unique variant, or could be a custom mod to have a shorter barrel.

[red isle]

Yeah could be a unique but I don’t think there’s any mods in base game to customise barrel length?

[rotund bobcat]

I meant attachments, but there could be a new type of sytem to do it.

but idk

[red isle]

Very well might be

[tender sphinx]

Who is this? I thought it was Chekov when I was watching the trailer

[rotund bobcat]

Its prob Myklukha

[wispy horizon]

He doesn’t really look like him

[scarlet vale]

No, different voice actor too

Might be one of his lieutenants or something

[rotund bobcat]

It'd be kinda weird to have a lieutenant beefin wit voronin tho

[wispy horizon]

Yeah likely a new character. Or at least a new Va for some previous named character.

[tender sphinx]

Exactly my thoughts, why isn't Myklukha there

[red isle]

Can someone zoom into Zulus?? Gun the dude sitting down Kinda looks like the end of an m16

[rotund bobcat]

My guess is a rework on Myklukha's character

But I dunno

[wispy horizon]

Best I could do.

Man idk kinda looking like a new Vegas service rifle from my angle 😅

[quick geyser]

This is a modified Saiga. There are screenshots from different angles on the Steam page 👍

[scarlet vale]

Looks like a Vepr honestly

[red isle]

Oh right it’s this one!!

[scarlet vale]

Yeah I think it’s got the kinda fucky mag well of a Vepr

[slender tartan]

Nah, its unique saiga

[scarlet vale]

GSC has made separate guns uniques before in S2

Gambit for example

[slender tartan]

This is how Saiga looks ingame. The foregrip and the tube above it exactly fits the thumbnail plus added flash hider. Same with the picture i sent with just some minor tweaks to it (bcs its unique)

[quick geyser]

I think it's probably a Fort 230

[scarlet reef]

What is this chambered in? 9x19?

[quick geyser]

Yep!

[rotund bobcat]

How tf do you even know these things. This seems like a super niche thing to know lol

[quick geyser]

It's easier than you think XD Almost all the weapons featured in Stalker 2 are firearms currently used by the Ukrainian military 👍

The Zircon + that helmet combo is what I'm running going in to Sircaa

I like running Zircon suit for gameplay and RP purposes. I've always imagined Skif as sympathetic to the Noontiders. Wearing their kit is probably too sympathetic, but I could still see him doing it for more than just the practical reasons

[naive geode]

I put my bets on AVT/SVT-40 or SKS

The one giveaway what I think could be the Round Charging handle on the AVT/SVT
While the SKS has a Semi round charging handle

[stone lichen]

Looks like a perfect spot for an alligator. 🐊

[wild owl]

I imagine Skif is definitely a little more sympathetic than regular Stalkers, since he entered the zone after Strelok’s ordeal in SoC

[verbal pebble]

That's just great because I love this game and this is my third play through I hope they fix it with the DLC

any fix to that blur?

[crude coyote]

Peace

[fringe birch]

Is the smoking a mod?

[crude coyote]

Animation just like eating sausage, bread

[stone lichen]

Turn off the blur in settings. If you’re able you can also increase the aliasing.

[hushed sigil]

i already did but still looks the same when aiming

[stone lichen]

Also increasing sharpness might help too in settings.

[stone lichen]

If those 3 don’t work then I’m out of ideas other than increase resolution a bit.

[opal lotus]

GSC, add beavers and the Pseudobear, please.

[calm plover]

amazing looking game

[heady kraken]

Lmao is THIS the dude that I'm supposedly supposed to find the key on in Concrete Forest? I'm pretty sure the Poltergeist SOMEHOW must have yeeted him? I don't see any other way. I didn't find him for an hour.

[plush slate]

I messaged Jonathan furgason to ask what he thinks, since he follows me on twitter let's see if he replies

[bright stirrup]

👍

So chimeras are not enough? Bears can smell you from miles away, run faster than Skif, and attack you without ever stopping. Even a single attack can kill Skif. You really want that? Chimeras are alike bears. But I assume you want something deadlier than a chimera? Bears in video games are traditionally tougher with larger health pool. I don’t think 10 Guass rifle shots will take down one. But will be fun for me since I’m loaded with resources. I doubt it will be fun for others.

I aspire to be like this man

@Thomas977673521 It seems to be a mishmash. The upper handguard is way too long for an SKS but the bolt & handle are SKS pattern. Front end looks almost AVS but rest doesn't.

NO, that's not a filter! ☁️🔴 The sky turned an eerie shade of red in Western Australia as dust filled the air ahead of Tropical Cyclone Narelle.

[crude coyote]

Reached beautiful Pripyat after 120 hours.
