the vid is 🔥

[spark yarrow]

THE PISS ANOMALY, IVE HEARD RUMORS ABOUT IT!!

yeah Jinx someone else posted a video about it happening to them too lmaoo

[static cedar]

insanely funny

just no reaction from other npcs like "what are you going to do about it"

[potent trout]

lmao the vid is deleted

[static cedar]

WHY

@shy narwhal why my funny vid deleted : /

[potent trout]

because this. i guess only mods are allowed to post stalker related stuff here 🙂

[static cedar]

but i posted sdalger stuff earlier here and everyone else is too

[potent trout]

i know mate. it doesnt make sense to me at all too.

but at the same time it makes sense why stalker related stuff is not allowed here tho. but the channels which are stalker related are too spammy and toxic even, so thats why some people who wants to post stalker related stuff ends up here tho. and that makes sense too.

[shy narwhal]

Because some people don't want to see videos where you can see villages etc

Especially in the first month in terms of S2 it's best to use the dedicated channels

[static cedar]

:/ darn i understand even tho its first village

[shy narwhal]

Yeah some ppl like Rahmi don't want to see that

[potent trout]

i know if i didnt play the game i wouldnt like to see any spoilers at all for sure

[fallen elm]

I mean unless I'm inferring this incorrectly

[potent trout]

i just left the game open and went afk for 1min and im already dead. i ❤️ the zone 😄

[void kelp]

what u on abt

[gloomy matrix]

Always pause

[potent trout]

maybe he is playing dlss ultra performance mode which actually doesnt look too well. not sure about just the performance one, someone here said it looks nice

[shy narwhal]

Dude really likes to talk about his imaginary stuff, pretty pathological I'd say

[fallen elm]

I mean I saw that the thread was deleted then brought back up, I can assume two things and I'm leaning more towards, "it might look shady taking it down, just leave it up the dudes crazy".

[void kelp]

oh

i heard some guy mald abt eating and drinking in stalker 2
that there for a reason 😭

[potent trout]

i know mate, left it on purpose thinking maybe it will help with the lags like will load better the game that way or whatever :DD testing all of the options mate

[void kelp]

and saying metro exodus is a far more better game then stalker 2

now im gonna make a memes out of him

[pearl spear]

Path of exile 2 but the game had nothing to do with the subject

[gloomy matrix]

So maybe it would be better to make a save and just run around to "load" the map, But I don't think it will change anything.

[potent trout]

eating is little bit too often requirement i think, i mean the hungry icon appears little bit too often. but i like everything about the game just need to fix the optimization. when that issue would be fixed 10/10 game for me for sure

[void kelp]

yeah

he needs a whole ahh mod just to remove eating and drinking

[pearl spear]

is the optional mission for the side quest in poppy fields buggy? the bodies which had to be marked arent 😦

[slim sail]

[potent trout]

there is a SPOILER ||a flashback to a woman speaking to a guy in poppy fields, her name is Nina||. so far only that i saw including women in the zone for now. im still in lesser zone.

[copper oracle]

Yeah thats what I saw too, and was left wondering

[supple current]

You stalkers with different roles like clear sky and the other factions. Howd you get them?

[slim sail]

Anyone else dealing with the lowlevelfatalerror stalker error?

[potent trout]

https://discord.com/channels/504587323577729024/565879298603614209 recently there was a faction war event and they locked all channels including this. i guess originally they would have reopened pretty soon after the end of the event but i guess they are little bit busy with the game and reports of the issues from the game these days and no time for the event stuff now 👀

hola hola 🙂
short question - weapons that have a "red" condition, is there anything you can do with them? or are they just worthless junk that can be thrown away?

[gloomy matrix]

It can be repaired (but it's expensive) and some sellers buy it

[fringe spear]

depends if they are good weapons like malyuk, f2000 or Groza, keep it

[gloomy matrix]

Merchants, traders or whatever the word is

[fringe spear]

In S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, the A-Life system governs how NPCs, mutants, and other entities behave in the game world, even when they are far away from the player. Here's a breakdown of how this works:

Offline A-Life:
1. Simulation at a Distance:  
   When squads of stalkers or mutants are far from the player, the game simulates their activities in a simplified manner. This is often referred to as "Offline A-Life." These distant entities are not fully rendered in 3D or physically present in the game world but instead exist as data in the game's logic system.  And such as coordinates in PDA map

2. Actions Simulated:  
   - Squads can move, engage in battles, hunt for artifacts, and interact with each other in this state.  
   - The results of their actions (e.g., one squad defeating another or reaching a certain location) are determined by algorithms that simulate outcomes based on probabilities and the attributes of the squads involved.  

3. PDA Representation:  
   The PDA shows the positions and activities of these distant squads. For example, you might see a stalker squad moving towards a resource point or a group of mutants heading toward a settlement.

 Fully Rendered Entities (Within Player's Radius):
1. Proximity Activation:  
   When a squad moves within a certain radius of the player (the "simulation radius"), the game transitions them from their offline state to being fully rendered and interactive. This radius is determined by the game engine to balance performance and immersion.

2. Full Behavior Simulation:  
   - Once active, the NPCs or mutants follow their AI scripts in real-time.  
   - They will react dynamically to the player's presence, environmental conditions, and other active entities.  
   - Combat, pathfinding, and other detailed interactions occur in full detail.

3. Impact on Gameplay:  
   This system allows the world to feel alive and active without requiring the game to simulate everything at full fidelity all the time, which would be computationally expensive.

My friend has this gave to me. tbh this is really accurate

[static cedar]

dont bring this shit here dude

[fringe spear]

o yeah sure

[static cedar]

this is the only bastion away from the stupid debate happening in main

[fringe spear]

someone drop this on there and see how it will snowball

[long sequoia]

same thing happened to me, I just looked for the locations on an online map and did it that way, I was able to deliver the items even though the bodies were not marked

[potent trout]

i did it without looking for help in internet. not much area to explore there and its easy to find.

my fps tanked and got stuck on without coming back up for like 5th time now... and if i save with such low fps every time i load such save it always loads up with that stuck low fps... this is kind of corrupting save file with fps drop bug or memory leak or smth... it doesnt even matter if rr my pc or the game, it stays like that untill i load the older save file.....

[twin cairn]

[granite reef]

So real

[potent trout]

lol now the steam doesnt even want to start the game, giving me the cloud sync error...

[latent comet]

I had to automate save file backups to avoid that

[sterile cape]

My save gone because of a steam cloud problem, I recovered my save files again with a program but I dont know how to use/load files ?

[latent comet]

Local app data

[sterile cape]

I put these files to there but when I open game I cant see my save

[potent trout]

the lesser zone rookie village is bugy as hell, no matter from which way im entering it this fps drop problem occurs. and then the game crashes too.

the game is just abusing my 3070 lol

[latent comet]

They’re named correctly and everything? Are you using any mods?

[sterile cape]

I dont using any mods, I didnt change any name

[latent comet]

Only mention ive found cause i did the same thing and it was fine

[sterile cape]

I dont need touch the data files just campaign save file right?

[latent comet]

Correct

[sterile cape]

ok I will try

[hybrid island]

i7 10700 and 3070ti - can play epic but only with dlss (50-60fps). About 1 or 2 hours my fps drops to 10-15 -_-

[grand estuary]

Why would women be a banned word?

[rotund horizon]

Call of Pripyat has finally installed,time to play

[potent trout]

i7 12700k and 3070 - 80-100fps with my settings + quality dlss and fsr on,.but even with such decent fps, most of the time game haves lags and input lags, and every time i enter rookie village in lesser zone the fps plummets down to 30 or even less and it stays like that forever then. it really feels like the game is ra**ing my video card. 0 optimization sadly.

[rotund horizon]

this is probably my 7th time playing CoP,but what can you expect from a game that has so much replayability

[grand estuary]

Let me know if its good. And also should I play Shadow of Chernobyl first?

[potent trout]

same for me but with soc tho

[rotund horizon]

play SoC,then Clear Sky then Call of Pripyat

you'll understand the story better and see the evolution of Stalker

[grand estuary]

Mmkay. How long are the games? Im asking because I really want to continue playing Stalker 2 because ive really been enjoying it, but I also really want to play the OG stalker games

[rotund horizon]

It depends,If you only follow the main quests all are short

If you do the side quests then all are long

CoP is long if you do all the quests

[grand estuary]

Fair enough. What I tend to do is a mix of both. I dont try to do all of the side quests but I dont shy away from them either. I also love to just explore.

[native sun]

hello can someone help me figure out whats making me overweight ive been look at this screen for 10 minutes

ah thanks it was the 300 kgs of bread

i might be blind

[grand estuary]

That's insane.
Yeah, Ive found that medkits, ammo, and food become heavy very quickly.

[native sun]

yea i didnt realize bread weigh so much ,do you want some soggy bread

[grand estuary]

Also how the hell did you manage to get 1000 pieces of bread?

[native sun]

im what some might say a bit of a collector

[grand estuary]

Fair enough

[fringe spear]

[potent trout]

actually going back to menu where is the save/load menu located, and going back to the game this time fixed the fps and they went back up... but i left the village before doing that, not sure if it would work inside the village. but if i load any other save file, doesnt matter which - it starts lagging sometimes again. it seems like the game often doesnt load properly or smth. but then once again, going back to the load / save menu actually brings the fps back.

[potent trout]

thats even crazier than my looting/hoarding for sure. never thought i will ever say this

[potent trout]

simple channels layout, useful people helping each other in solving the trilogy's mechanics, quirks, and fixing tips. People sharing interesting screenshots of their game (Haha yes i usually do this in off-top though). Theory discussions, and modding stuffs. All in one general channel and off-top channel.

Nearly never have useless fightings in general channels like nowadays. now i am kinda envious that they gain server levels to veterans in like 4 days since they argue nonstop with wall of text, compared to me who have talked and giving tips since 2020ish to reach veteran level

imma just randomly re-share vague stalker screenshots i have

same thing happend yesterday, when i pause the game into menu and went to take a sh..., then you return to this

This shit is so ass 😭

its fine on 42" monitor

but you have to pause the game for like 10 minutes or so

try the suggestion we previously talked about the fps drops, mate. i just did mine and right now ill test how well it works

I believe that some stashes show up on the map when you find certain PDAs or people will tell you about them. The Journalist Stashes are for the deluxe and ultimate editions.

Yeah

[potent trout]

#💬┃en_offtop message even this?

[potent trout]

as i understand it effects shadows and luminate lights or smth like that. you dont see any shadows anymore or less of them or smth, im not so sure. but as i was told totally worth of this sacrifice for the fps boost. in a minute ill check this myself, the game is loading

[grand estuary]

I'm not sure honestly.

[potent trout]

OK IM NOT ADVISING OF USING THIS METHOD. THE GAME LOOKS TERRIBLE COMPARED TO WITHOUT THIS METHOD. Im on medium graphics and dlss quality + fsr turned on.

[obtuse hamlet]

its either this or 5 fps and game restart every 5 minutes

[potent trout]

well im having performance instability issues for sure, but im usually playing on 80-100 fps. ill personally choose to play in a pain like that or/and just wait for the patches. thank you tho haha

[obtuse hamlet]

and fg adds up a big input lag for me

[potent trout]

with your method input lag was really lower, it helped with that too for sure

similar situation here too

yeah. going to save/load menu and back to the game sometimes helps. but definitely doesnt while being in loner village in lesser zone. that place is a hellhole of fps

Anyone here played Sekiro?

[potent trout]

@summer hearth like always lol. oy does anybody know why i cant add holo sight to my viper-5 even that it saids it suppose to fit? same with other sight for my ak74U.. no sights works for me smh....

[obtuse hamlet]

do you have rail on it?

[potent trout]

i checked all posible modifications with rookie village mechanic and he doesnt give anything like that for this weapon. is it possible that ill need to visit the better mechanic elsewhere in the future?

[obtuse hamlet]

progress the game

[potent trout]

roger that. thank you!

[peak field]

any1 found any solution for new game not loading at all

[shy roost]

Loading as in not launching at all?

[peak field]

game is launching just fine, but when i try to create a new game, the loading just stops in the middle of the yellow area on the geiger counter, it doesnt freeze or crash or anything, it just stops loading

[shy roost]

Well that never happened so far for me but are you using mods?

[peak field]

yeah but i tried without any mods and the issue still persists

[shy roost]

Idk but this game already has bugs mods can cause even more devs shouldn’t be held accountable nor offer support for modded copies iirc

[shy roost]

Maybe delete the configs and let the game regenerate them

[peak field]

ive been fighting this issue since the first launch

[shy roost]

Also verify integrity if you haven’t already

[peak field]

did 3 times and each time it said that everything's fine

[shy roost]

So you never were actually able to play at all

[peak field]

yeah,, and its not a hardware issue either cuz im easily fit for the medium settings

[shy roost]

You can find a folder named stalker2 in appdata/local I think there is a folder named saved in there back that up and delete it then launch the game maybe it will fix the issue

All of your settings will get reset though

[outer plover]

The memory leak thing is making me crazy

[shy roost]

Sadly no real fix for that as of now other than restarting the game

[outer plover]

You can load a save but it is random af. Sometimes you load the save and goes perfectly smooth, sometimes you load it again at the exact same point and it goes at 5 fps

[plucky siren]

Hello. So...I played like 3 hours and now the game crashes everytime I load a save after like 30 seconds. "kernel32 ntdl"

RTX 4060
Ryzen 57640HS
16GB RAM 5600mhz

[outer plover]

I've heard mods sometimes prevent the game from crashing in those scenarios

[peak field]

thank u soooooo sooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[plucky siren]

I'm already using Nexus mods optimization, it gave me like 10fps boost

[peak field]

it finally freaking worked i thank you so goddamn much im about to sob

[balmy ether]

Where do i report bugs?

[plucky siren]

The game was running pretty okay until now. 70 fps with DLSS quality and FG enabled. I tried turning it off but nothing works. I'm curios if other have the same error and if yes if you know what is related to

"kernel 32 ntdl"

[outer plover]

No idea tbh

[whole sable]

https://support.stalker2.com/

[plucky siren]

It happened to me only once. I touched a box and it started spining :)))

[obtuse hamlet]

that is the smallest problem right now i think 😄

[plucky siren]

Maybe I'm lucky. I mean, I saw videos online of monsters and npcs flying in the air but never happened to me

[obtuse hamlet]

did you tried the 5fps fix?

this one? #pc-specs message

[plucky siren]

I cant. Now my game will crash in the first town after 30seconds after I load. "Kernel32 ntdl"

[obtuse hamlet]

yes i was plaing also on 70, but in populated areas it was 5fps

yes, 60 and then 5 😄

[plucky siren]

I only had that whe entering towns, did you tried setting hair quality to low? It helped me having more constant frames when entering the first town

[obtuse hamlet]

a patch would be fine

[restive birch]

oh cool this channel isn't dry anymore. Have any of you played Sekiro?

[plucky siren]

Same. EPIC to LOW settings have marginal effects. I was playing at medium with some high settings and DLSS on quality but now I cant play anymore cuz the game just keeps crashing 30 seconds after I load it

Or why after I buy something from a trader the game decides that it's already nightime

[obtuse hamlet]

he is hungry after 0.5l of vodka

[plucky siren]

He is hungry cuz days pass by really fast

[sullen lintel]

Hi do we have any idea when the patch is dropping?

[plucky siren]

Nope....

[plucky siren]

Lmao the coincidence:)))))

[shy roost]

If it happens again just do the same thing my wasn’t even launching before I deleted the saved folder

[sullen lintel]

lmfao

[plucky siren]

If you go to #📜┃gsc-answers they said that they will fix this

Just scroll 1 answer up and you will see

Indeed the day/night cycle is just too short. It takes away from the immersion imo. If they want to make everyone happy they could just add something like Cyberpunk where you could pass time. Win win situation for everyone

[lusty ice]

are..the devs good?..it hasnt been out for 7 days lol what

[obtuse hamlet]

i hope its "Issues and memory allocation failures"

[lusty ice]

what about preformance issues?

[plucky siren]

Yeah, i think that the memory leak actually affects performance and fixing it will help the game be more stable

[still prawn]

I haven't had any issues with fps I guess it just a pc thing

[fringe spear]

Screen from a lost oblivion game (100% unclickbait)

[neon vale]

@rotund horizon

[lusty ice]

was this before they did the DLC horse armor?

[fringe spear]

this shit is summarizing the inchbitch

[still prawn]

I wouldn't know, I'm a Xbox player and so far nothing buggy happens

[plucky siren]

I mean people with 4090 have problems running this game. It's really not a hardware problem as it is a game problem

[fringe spear]

BRO Oblivion Lost AND Oblivion is whole different game

[split smelt]

Ive got a weird question for anyone who owns a PS5

[neon vale]

i have a vietnamese friend who went offline for a whole month and when i asked him about it he sent me a bunch of clips of him dying to shinmy

[obtuse hamlet]

it doesnt

[fringe spear]

ew viets

[neon vale]

viets are awesome

[lusty ice]

https://tenor.com/view/strelok-gif-26242052

[fringe spear]

they are the bane of Touhou no cc

[gloomy matrix]

Link???

[split smelt]

Does anyone know if the back side of the PS5 controller is rubberized or is it just hard plastic?

Trying to do a custom controller mod for someone for Xmas but idk if I can paint it.

[lusty ice]

what does it feel like lol

[pale sand]

anybody know how to fix this issue?

[plucky siren]

Bruh you can find photos online

[split smelt]

I don't have one that's why I'm asking.

@babi.turbatul I looked up pics earlier. That doesn't tell me whether it's rubberized or not.

[gloomy matrix]

Reset fov settings?

[pale sand]

il try

[lusty ice]

its most likley plastic

[obtuse hamlet]

hello there

[whole sable]

Then why are they both called Oblivion

[fringe spear]

the one is lost

[lusty ice]

restart your game.

[fringe spear]

another one is still exist to today

[neon vale]

TES is broing i would rather play oblivion lost

broing

boring

[dapper shadow]

Sadge no spawn fix and no hp reduce on enemies.

[split smelt]

I'm hoping so lol. The pics are ambiguous like it could be either.

I just don't want to buy one and not be able to paint on it.

The problem is the back is textured and it's throwing me off.

[neon vale]

i honestly find S2 enemies easier to kill

[whole sable]

Wouldn't it be oblivion found if you have a picture of it?

[lusty ice]

its plastic. you can look at tairdowns.

the xbox controlers also had that back textured pannel. its just plastic

[fringe spear]

[neon vale]

i should get back on S2 and kill everybody i see

[dapper shadow]

i respect and love this game so much but i am not playing till they fix some of those issues. They just fixed the pricing of guns/repairs i believe just now, so.

[fringe spear]

When the Oblivion is Lost so someone have to remake it to Oblivion Lost Remake

[neon vale]

like how i play anomaly

[fringe spear]

man i feel bad making this

[neon vale]

i should play more touhou again

[fringe spear]

and this is starfield in oblivion lost

[neon vale]

what the FUСK

[fringe spear]

And this is Call of Duty vanguard one

[gloomy matrix]

Thx, I muted the categories so I hadn't seen it

[lusty ice]

yeah...really unimpressed...

Not even an acknowledgment of the FPS issues in the "still to fix" section..which has got me really anoyed and worried.

[bitter spruce]

alright then

[lusty ice]

also heads up. newest NVIDA game ready driver tanked my FPS. so may not be worth upgrading

[gloomy matrix]

Cool

[lusty ice]

your welcome?

[gloomy matrix]

? I meant that it's great that you were able to solve your problem, the more people playing the better.

[lusty ice]

oh it seemed snarky like "good for you chump" or "cool nobody asked" lol.

[fringe spear]

play the new gens one (such as the unfinished dreams of all living ghost)

nowadays i am bored since obviously touhou hype is only there were new releases

i ain't hardcore and no-life enough to do top-scoring all the series

[gloomy matrix]

, Translator issues (Gboard), My English only allows me to "understand" and read things, so I use it to translate.

[lusty ice]

ohh ok

[peak field]

literally unplayable

[latent estuary]

This is peak

[peak field]

what mod is this i need to know

[sacred idol]

Wait I wanna kill more people

[vernal igloo]

my man

[fringe spear]

"We Are Not Alone” mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat. This mod is quite unique as it takes the game out of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone and places it on the moon. It offers a completely different environment and atmosphere compared to the original game, providing a fresh experience for players who enjoy the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series with its unique mechanics such as weightlessness, suit pressure damage, weapon and more

https://ap-pro.ru/forum/36-22169-1

[gloomy matrix]

[peak field]

Is it in english too?

[fringe spear]

as you can see in that picture, i am not playing en version no longer available for translation

[peak field]

Damn.....

Jesus christ this bloodsucker

[versed oracle]

Bruh, did they say FTC filed a lawsuit on this game for fraud? What fraud? The game sold more copies than every other game this year lmao

I guess they forgot to add "modern audience" in the description lmaooooo

[peak field]

The performance isnt that bad tbh

[vernal igloo]

It aint bad until it is

when it suddenly drops to 5 fps

[neat anvil]

its really bad, 4090 ,i9-13900k and the game is a stutter fest and drops under 60fps in many situations

[peak field]

Ive had pretty stable 60 on medium with i5-12400F and a 3060

[neat anvil]

yeah sure and im bruce wayne

[peak field]

Im 100% serious

[cerulean sorrel]

I can't even get past the first 30 seconds of playing without the game crashing, running it on Low graphics with an AMD Ryzen 7 5700g, NVIDIA RTX 4060, with 32 gigs of ram.... i get smooth play for like 10 seconds then it just crashes.

[peak field]

Maybe its a blessing after not being able to make a new game for 3 days

[shrewd cradle]

So I was trying to figure out why I've been "under attack" for 2 hours. Got to town and found everything locked up tight

[neat anvil]

scratch that im goku

[mortal crater]

This game runs horrible rn

[fringe spear]

[potent trout]

congrats with fixing that problem, but the crashes and lag will come to you too, sorry mate to say that but yeah 😄

[vernal igloo]

top mod on nexus fixed sudden fps drops for me, your mileage may vary tho

[cerulean sorrel]

do we know when the patch is coming? i know they stated that there is a patch, but do we know when?

[mortal crater]

Everytime I enter nearby a base of any sort the fps drops so much

[vernal igloo]

any time next week

[mortal crater]

I really enjoy the game though. Performance is making me so aggravated

[peak field]

Well thats first polterghast dealt with

[mortal crater]

Does everyone have to turn on FPS booster in settings to play normal?

[shy roost]

Try deleting your configs

[cerulean sorrel]

i literally just started the game, nothing really done to it, just changed the setting to low to work, and it still crashes

[thorn cove]

@old jasper Nope, bruh. You need to get Content Makers role to do this. Here is #📺┃media message

[shy roost]

yeah but the game can mess up stuff while generating the configs

[potent trout]

#📰┃announcement message Quality and stability improvements of the visual effects <-- this doesnt sound that they will be fixing the general lag of the game and input lag... i have a bad feeling about new patch coming 😦

[shy roost]

for some of us the game didnt even start without deleting the configs lol

[oblique fossil]

Is it peaceful here?

[fringe spear]

[thorn cove]

[shy roost]

[oblique fossil]

Other chats are on fire rn lol

[shy roost]

this server is full off redditors

[mortal crater]

Even when having good fps it'll still lag so i'm depressed

[oblique fossil]

Oh yeah, they're running rampant, one attacked Mol1t and got banned lol

[sonic anchor]

That's cause redditors suck

Also, finally finished that boss fight.

[sonic anchor]

Yes

[peak field]

Ooohh monolithians

[shy roost]

no this is off topic

[shy roost]

no one cares though you can talk about whatever

[sonic anchor]

[shy roost]

idk sadly im still in the first zone and its been 10 hours havent seen anyone specifically buy pdas

[sonic anchor]

I just talk here the most because it's the most peaceful chat from what I have seen and people aren't constantly complaining

[sonic anchor]

How have you been playing for 10 hours and still in the first zone 😭

I got out of the first zone in like 3 hours

[shy roost]

im doing everything i can scanning and going everywhere basically i still havent progressed the main story

No, you can sell it to any trader

i still have like 3 side mission on my map

i still have that too but its on my todo list

[shrewd cradle]

thats what i did, carefully so as not to kill townsfolk. still dont know where they came from, but ive was "under attack" for over an hour

[sonic anchor]

I have heard it's a very annoying mission though

[sonic anchor]

Nice

[shy roost]

probably because you have to keep chugging energy drinks

i made some evil choices

[sonic anchor]

You know that factory in the beginning where you are supposed to save that dude while on the way to the town?

I shot him in the head after killing everybody else, cause meh, he was being an ass after I saved him

[shy roost]

[sonic anchor]

He deserved it

[sonic anchor]

Most evil thing you have done?

[fallen elm]

I threw 20 bottles of vodka in an anomaly.

LMFAO

||A guy died by getting stuck in a nomaly i found his friend who asked for help to get his body out but turns out the dead guy has a artifact and i suspected his friend only cared about that so i went back shot that guy in the head and took the artifact|| its kinda a spoiler about a encounter i stumbled upon

stabbing feels so un-precise,so slashing is the only way to kill an enemy If you're trying to Sakuya Izayoi through the game

I had less pain in the AMK mission I am doing now where you have to rescue the dutier. But there is a pack of 15 dog half being blind and half being psuedo while having the aura of a controller they are fighting while being flanked by a psuedogiant.

so, which 2 artifacts u guys would choose to have equipped permamently in reallife, and why?

kolobok because it looks cool and compass because it would be by far the most useful

Boutta try out SPT tarkov for the first time, downloading SAIN and stuff right now

[fringe spear]

Bubble is nice for ornaments and actually useful for clearing the room's radiation.

Compass is just how cool it is (especially in the viewmodel)

[shy narwhal]

Let's see

[potent trout]

but the lag disappeared at least for now 👀

[whole sable]

[wild mulch]

Happy radiation poisoning <3

[deep sapphire]

im just curious
the call of pripyat compass or the clear sky compass?
one of them gives endurance without downside, other one gives effects of a couple other artefacts but at high radiation

[fallen elm]

I've tried that as well as using the auto-save. It's cooked. It keep teleporting me into the room where scar is supposed to be or whatever. THe mission is "Back to the Slag Heap".

[fringe spear]

forester's compass

[deep sapphire]

atleast according to google

[shy roost]

i wonder where that goes... apart from the jacket

[bitter spruce]

scar is in the game?????????????

[shy roost]

[shy narwhal]

Ye

[fallen elm]

Honestly the only way to play the game. Use FIKA and you can play in "offline" servers with your friends.

[fringe spear]

yeah it is in the trailer too

[potent trout]

spoilaaaaaa

[bitter spruce]

oh wait yeah it was in the trailer

[rotund horizon]

CoP Compass,as long as you have a good artifact the reduces a lot of radiation

[deep sapphire]

good

[whole sable]

That's not en stalker tho

[opal kindle]

You can play the guitar in this game 🙂 guess the song

[mystic fog]

let it be

[deep sapphire]

but i think i would go with the endurance one.
to be able to walk and run further.

[grand estuary]

Im sad. I had a Tavor and some stupid mutant ripped it out of my hands and then it disappeared.

[drifting musk]

hiii

[bitter spruce]

alright im bored of general chat

[sonic anchor]

Oh, that damn mutant

I gave up on trying to kill it

[grand estuary]

You know what I'm talking about? Idk if it would classify as a spoiler

[sonic anchor]

Yes, I know what your talking about. It's one of the most annoying creatures I have came across

[mystic fog]

I found a patrol of Sgt Douglas in the zone from the IPSF, I follow them back to Zalyssia and I stay with them for a whole day cycle thinking that they will go on patrol again. They didn't...so this means the encounter was just a spawn in my proximity and not an actual patrol. 😦

[fringe spear]

its burover

[grand estuary]

It was. After a bit I just kept my distance and made it lose sight of me so that it would drop its shield and then shot it a couple of times until it went back up. Did that like 6 times until it died

[drifting musk]

hi adler from battlefield 2

Ah, I gave up on it so I just left it

Has someone passed the crane mission where you meet richter?

[sonic anchor]

Yes

[fallow anvil]

I’m stuck in that place how do you get out

[drifting musk]

im too broke to get stalker 2

[sonic anchor]

There should be a hole nearby that sends you down

[fallow anvil]

yes I literally went in that hole that I come from

[shy roost]

game pass

[sonic anchor]

It's a different hole, to the right of it

[fallow anvil]

Where is it exactly

[sonic anchor]

I don't remember. I'm like hours past that in the story, I have 11 hours on the game so far

[wild mulch]

Got .22, 9x19, .357, .223 Remington, 7.62x39, .308 Winchester, 7.62x54R (shot all of these)
And I got few casings of rounds I didnt shoot, specifically .45, some shotgun shells and 8x57

[sonic anchor]

Nice, you ever shot a .50 cal?

[fallow anvil]

Oh ur so far already damn I’m really stuck in this place idk what to do

Loll nvm I found it there is a sign 😭😂

[sonic anchor]

Well.... 2 hours of that is it being paused from me going to do something or waiting for night to pass

[wild mulch]

no
neither .50BM nor the pistol .50
They had .50BMG but thats just too much for me, it was my first time shooting real guns
I only shot airguns and crossbows before

[potent trout]

im so happy that even i didnt find frame gen in my game settings anymore, which is really strange, but now with gpu acceleration turned on in windows the game runs reaaaally smooth. so everyone who didnt turn that setting on i would STRONGLY advice to do so.

[fallow anvil]

I found it bro thank you they should fix that problem for other players as well it was so hard to find it because there is radiation around

[wild mulch]

also I got to fire Mosin and Vz. 58 (kino alert)

[sonic anchor]

Ohhhh. I got to shoot a Barrett M82 one time, that thing left a large bruise on my shoulder lol

[sonic anchor]

Ig but it's also stalker, it shouldn't be super easy

Im built like Jack Skelington so I would probably lose my arm to that thing

I also can’t play with a controller…. The controller recognition on gamepass is broken

[potent trout]

@obtuse hamlet check dm mate

[potent trout]

fsr causes it. i think the devs will fix it in future patches but not sure about that tho

[fresh ridge]

Just FSR? Or every upscaler?

btw this is and old ashtray from train back in 1970 -1993 ish Czechoslovak State Railways

i think fsr specifically. i can be wrong about that tho

Shame cuz my mouse killed itswlf

[stray osprey]

en nospoiler gen still talking about alife

[void kelp]

lol anyone have a fix for the game crashes??? my game keeps crashing everytime i encounter a Burer anomaly enemy. and i get random crashes on other occasions too. game just keeps crashing and crashing making it sometimes unplayable

[whole sable]

Plus sex with mutants

[stray osprey]

Yes, I saw the snork talk...

https://tenor.com/view/skeleton-gif-26826812

[void kelp]

i thought cyberpunk2077 release was bad but i am amazed at stalker 2 release

[oblique fossil]

Sup guys, I brought kots

[dim cairn]

This is not as bad as CP2077, trust me

[void kelp]

this is way much worse

[oblique fossil]

Nuh uh

[fresh ridge]

Hell no

[dim cairn]

I have encountered 0 bugs but 1 crash that I fixed due to my ram being overclocked and unstable on UE5. 10 hours in no crashes or bugs that were the games error

[void kelp]

this game has a lot of potential, im not a hater, thats why i still keep playing and playing even tho my game has crashed like 40 times already and made some quests locked and i had to backtrack autosaves many hours behind in my progress to fix stuff and so on

ive had over 50 notable bugs that have made things more or less hard for gameplay, the Burer crash is the worst

[dim cairn]

Well, I guess some people have it different than others. Just gotta grit your teeth through the anomalies, stalker!

[void kelp]

yes yes. i have 39hours in and this is just my experience so far. ive never been so persistent on trying not to give up and i keep grinding, teeth and all.

i wish i was a dev and voice actor for this game i have so many ideas how to make things even better in this game

[mortal crater]

Wheres Alife at?

[void kelp]

those who play on really high end pc's prolly dont have so many crashes but my cpu sucks so that makes everything hard for me, nothing else to share or to ask, i wish someone would have said atleast some little tricks to make things smoother but life of loner stalker is rough

[potent trout]

turn on gpu hardware acceleration in windows

[void kelp]

on the stalker app or just overall settings?

[potent trout]

windows settings

[muted zinc]

Anyone know any fixes for GPU dropping from 95-99% util -> 1% util and causing game to drop to low frames or even pause for up to 1000ms? Turning DLSS off actually seems to limit how often I frame drop. Framegen does nothing.

[shy roost]

Welp I finally figured out a way to make my controller work in stalker 2

[potent trout]

on windows settings -> system -> display (scroll down to the very bottom) -> graphic settings -> gpu acceleration on @muted zinc and @void kelp

[muted zinc]

I'm not CPU bound.....

[void kelp]

im stuck in abandoned tunnel now and cant exit this area because burer is waiting me at the sewer exit and whenever i see a burer i crash

burer = the fat poltergeist monster guy who has psychic powers

ive been trying to throw grenades down those stairs at different angles hoping to kill the burer before i even see him but nope

[grand estuary]

It takes awhile but try to keep your distance from him and try to lose line of sight. If he cant see you for a while he drops his shield and you can get a few shots off

[void kelp]

exactly. thats how i killed the 2 burers at wild island, but before that my game crashed like 7 times trying to deal with them, they are the worst for my pc :D but i managed to do it in the end and i was very proud. feels like im playing on ultra veteran extra anomaly mode with these crashes and bugs lol

[faint wedge]

such a fun game i love dying to an AI shooting me through multiple walls then i get an infinite loading screen

[shy roost]

The real stalker experience

[grand estuary]

What game?

[faint wedge]

stalker 2

[grand estuary]

ah. I have yet to experiance that. 12.5 hours in

[twin cairn]

sounds unlucky tbh

[faint wedge]

happens ALLLLL the time for me

[oblique fossil]

This chat is so much more chill

[grand estuary]

Ikr.

[oblique fossil]

It's like... this is a safe area. And the other chat is the Zone

[faint wedge]

welcome tto the monolith

[grand estuary]

Also, can I just say that the game has mostly positive reviews? I mean, the game must be at least somewhat fun to play if roughly 20,000 people on steam left a positive review.

[faint wedge]

its a great gaame just POORLY unoptimised

[spark yarrow]

to be fair, I only saw memes from the cyberpunk release, but it really looked unplayable at launch, now it looks fantastic

and Im actually able to play stalker 2, granted I havent gotten far enough to witness these game softlocks occur, any I only had one instance where people started floating, in cyberpunk it looked like npcs would float and walk through walls all the time

[faint wedge]

diffrance being cyberpunk was forced to be released due to investors and the community begging for it

[mystic fog]

hmm where's the room to talk about heart of chernobyl?

[whole sable]

I hope #⭐┃nospoilers_general improves. It will probably be sometime until it cools down.

[faint wedge]

honestly its 1 of my all time fav games

[spark yarrow]

im just happy about the new announcement

[faint wedge]

i love realism/story games and cyberpunk and stalker2 are 1 and 2 on the list

[spark yarrow]

both devs are goated, let em cook

[mystic fog]

I mean it's maybe the best game we have this year but there are many problems to be adressed

[faint wedge]

fr dude they announced cyberpunk orion the other day

[whole sable]

#⭐┃nospoilers_general for talking about S2 things that aren't spoilers

And #☢┃stalker-general if it includes spoilers.

[spark yarrow]

the only con to the announcment is they say they will tackle A life later, I get its probably the hardest thing to improve, but part of me is playing the game slowly, and Idk if I wanna sink my teeth into a full run, then do a replaythrough when the updates come out

I mean theres so many choices I am probably gonna replay it anyways

[faint wedge]

my playthrough has been full of life. for instance the starter town u visit i came back to it and its all just gone

[spark yarrow]

? like they got wiped out? lol

[faint wedge]

yes they kept calling on radio for help and i was to faar away by time i got there everyone was dead

[spark yarrow]

whaaat thats crazy

[whole sable]

I mean you can always wait to play the game until the fixes come out. It probably would be done by the end of the year.

[spark yarrow]

I visited cordon, havent heard news from zaliyssa is that how its spelt I cant remember

[faint wedge]

same with this other place its like a bunker base or smth but thats also just gone

[oblique fossil]

Oh yeah, it's stalking time now

[spark yarrow]

ooo part of me cant wait haha, I do wanna keep exploring

[faint wedge]

ngl iv been modding fallout into stalker before i even knew what stalker was XD

[oblique fossil]

Lol

[faint wedge]

i love all the animations for eating and stuff and i modded that into my fallout 4 cus i love realissm this stalker game is my first one

i was like "holy **** i could of been playing stalker this whole time"

[whole sable]

I hope it is by the end of the year tho, I am just guessing the time. The best thing for the team to do is to fix it before Christmas week.

[spark yarrow]

for me its just optmization(which doesnt effect me too much im still squeezing good frames and my memory leaks dont seem to happen for a long time) and the AI/A-life, thats the final slice of Pie and the game is complete

theres a bunch of little nitpicks, but mods are already fixing them, plus the devs are working on some of them too, I noticed the day/night seems to short, and while I dont think a bloodsucker should be a pushover, I think I shot it like 10 times with a shotgun lol

[oblique fossil]

Welcome to the zone, Stalker

[faint wedge]

thanks iv screamed quite alot

[spark yarrow]

its weird the devs say day and night is an hour each, It really felt like I got 2 nightimes within an hour of playing

maybe time was just flying by from having fun

[faint wedge]

idm the nnight time its rly fun

[spark yarrow]

I wouldnt mind night time but it is so hard to see, and if you walk in the forest theres no good cover so if bandits spawn I haven o cover and can barely see them I end up wasting alot of meds

NVG when haha

[faint wedge]

thats the point tho

ever plaayed dayz or rust at night u legit see nothing and even if u have a flashlight u only see like 2m ahead

its called realism get use to it

[spark yarrow]

fighting a mutant at night, is terryfying fun exhilarting, because they enter my flashlight range

It is NOT realistic that enemy humans can Aimhack shoot me in pitch black

[faint wedge]

i agree with that but theres nothing wrong with the night time or the flashlight but i agree the AI is busted

they have been shootin me through walls

[stark pawn]

will there be optimization on steam deck?

[oblique fossil]

Such is life in the zone

[faint wedge]

10/10 would scream again

[fallen elm]

15 FPS but playable

[spark yarrow]

night time is cool, I just wish they extended night an day cycle, they gave us a bed to skip nighttime which is great but I feel like I have to stop what im doing and find a bed very often, just increase cycles then players who enjoy night can enjoy night more

[oblique fossil]

Gorgeous

[faint wedge]

thats a you problem bud im on a 3060 cranking 80 fps on high settings

[spark yarrow]

the game looks so good

[grand estuary]

BEAUTIFUL

[spark yarrow]

you got all the optimization mods n stuff? might help you squeeze out some frames

[fallen elm]

This is 4k, native, no FSR or Frame Gen, with Ray Traced lighting with HDR on all settings on EPIC.

[grand estuary]

Oh man, I shouldve cranked my graphics to the max for this but heres the CNPP

[spark yarrow]

looks great but nothing really looks great at 15 fps haha

[faint wedge]

thats why your at 15 fps.... thats nott nothing to do with optimisation your not even optimising your game yourself

[fallen elm]

Kinda the problem huh.

[oblique fossil]

Does anyone know the metalcore song with the female singer?

[twin cairn]

i like this one alot more tbh

[twin cairn]

PEAK

[fallen elm]

You must be new here. lol. I know. I know what I'm doing and I know that what I'm doing is exactly the opposite of what you want to do. However for the cool 4k HDR screenshots, well... you gotta do it this way. which takes restarting the game etc. etc. etc.

[stray osprey]

Lovely

[stark pawn]

На стим дек сделайте оптимизация ребята

[spark yarrow]

i got a 4070 super ti I just play on high preset graphics with the optimization mods and 120 hz 1440p monitor, I got 60-120 frames depending on the location

[faint wedge]

you have the game on EVERYTTHIING maxed on a game that just realeased on an engine thats very new and your upset your at 15 fps cmon dude

[fallen elm]

I'm not upset... lmfao

[oblique fossil]

Yee

[faint wedge]

do some optimizationn dude ud gett more frames

[spark yarrow]

that dude SASSY lives up to his name haha

[fallen elm]

I bought a LG C2 4k OLED @120hz to use a 4k OLED at 120hz DAMMIT!

[oblique fossil]

It always looks so ominous

[twin cairn]

you arent really understanding what they are saying lol

[stray osprey]

[grand estuary]

ikr

[fallen elm]

he/him*

[twin cairn]

??

[faint wedge]

he said 15 fps but playable he could get atleast 70 if he just optimised it

[twin cairn]

i think he meant he did all that for the picture he took

[spark yarrow]

my new 2k 1440p 120hz MINI LED is so great, I am blown away with how good every game I play looks now, like playing some Tarkov was amazing, playing Clear sky with ABR reloaded mod was amazing

[fallen elm]

You're actually retarded and it's hilarious

[twin cairn]

who ?

[stray osprey]

What is going on now

[faint wedge]

dont think ur allowed to say that but aight

[fallen elm]

OLED is SUCH a leap in quality.

@twin cairn not you I can tell you that

[grand estuary]

Oh a random gunfight just broke out near the cooling towers

[faint wedge]

and also 15fps is NOT playable

[twin cairn]

man i wanna try OLED

[faint wedge]

imagine trying to take out bandits on 15 fps

[spark yarrow]

I was playing on a 1080 DVI monitor idk what it even used, I have skipped HDMI and have gotten int DP monitor lol, I have jumped ahead in time 10 years, plus I heard OLED has a problem with burn in and that scares me, I think MiniLED is perfect

[fallen elm]

Imagine saying 15 FPS isn't playable to someone that played the OG games at like 20 FPS. Get outta here kid.

[twin cairn]

They arent playing at 15 lol

[twin cairn]

PEAK

[faint wedge]

i grew up on nintendo and ps1 lol back then it was playable cus we was kids but now its NOT playable

i cant even play on xbox anymore cus my eyes hurt playing at 30 fps

[twin cairn]

cmon now thats CRAZY

[spark yarrow]

okay I can easily play DArk souls 1 on xbox at 30 fps its aint that bad

[twin cairn]

i play baulder gate 1 EE on pc its locked at 30 fps and its fine

[spark yarrow]

15 fps is a bit unplayable imo

[faint wedge]

especially on a shooter

[fallen elm]

OLED doesn't have "burn in" issues like everyone claims. I have like over 1k hours on this display mainly playing Elden Ring and there is nothing. The "burn in" issue was for the first gen models. Nowadays it's VERY unlikely unless you're leaving a static image on the screen for like days at a time. When the display is off it goes thru pixel refreshing and makes sure things are healthy, as well as it uses something called pixel shifting where when the image on the screen is displayed for X amount of time it shifts the image just a few pixels over and then does it again X amount of time later.

[twin cairn]

30 is about the lowests id consider playing as i used to play console for years just fine at 30

[faint wedge]

why is it locked att 30?

[spark yarrow]

hmm well I imagine all the Halos and CAll of duties were 30 fps on the old consoles but im just guessing

[fallen elm]

Considering I just beat OoT on the oringal hardware on a CRT about a month ago, I beg to differ, you just choose not to.

[twin cairn]

old game and isometric rpg you dont need a ton of fps

[faint wedge]

thats fair

[twin cairn]

i think smooth frames matter more overall then raw numbers

[faint wedge]

back then u didntt have people sliding around and jumping around you like a movement demon

[twin cairn]

bo6 omni movement 💀

im to old for that kinda sweaty gameplay cant keep up

[faint wedge]

same thats why i mainly play story driven singleplayers or co op story games

[fallen elm]

tbh omni-movement leveled the playing field against aim bot controllers. I was dunking on people the last time I played like a week or two ago.

[faint wedge]

the cheating is worse in bo6 then its ever been

[twin cairn]

oh i never thought about it from that perspective

[fallen elm]

Agreed. It's out of control.

[shy roost]

i had a regular led tv before btw the difference is just unreal you just dont get those kind of inky blacks on a none oled panel

[faint wedge]

its almost like they care more about selling skins then actually making a game

[spark yarrow]

levels playing field agaisnt aim bots, ruins the playing field for anyone over 25 lmao, these fortnite kids are gonna be cracked at omni movement, I will never compete if I ever tried to play bo6 haha

[twin cairn]

ngl i want period correct 90/00's pcs monitors and consoles

[fallen elm]

Sounds like you need to see the doctor about an Adderall prescription.

[faint wedge]

no just no. the movement iv seen in bo6 is really insane and way to fast for old timers like us

[twin cairn]

i wonder how ill do in Stalker 2 TDM lol

[faint wedge]

we come home from work to try and chill and get spawncamped half tthe game due to some no lifer

[twin cairn]

🗣️🔥

[fallen elm]

I'm old man too, but I hold my own in those games. The way to do it is 2box OR just jump into games and watch youtube videos while you run around and hip fire people and tank your K/D/W/L ratios till you get into the more casual games.

warthunder was my go to for a very long time

I prefer the term "exploiting systems in place that force casuals to do this".

[twin cairn]

@grand estuary what nations did you main? Abrams "clickbait" premium was the worst thing to ever happen to the US nation so many paid their way to the top and tanked our winrate

[faint wedge]

and activision perfer tthe tterm reverse boosting and will ban you for it

[fallen elm]

I paid for the game, I want to have fun, thus I have to exploit the system to make it fun. I wouldn't need to do that if they gave us ping based matchmaking or private/dedicated servers with browser back like they did back in the day.

[shy roost]

[void kelp]

i guess different issues with cyberpunk compared to stalker, but cyberpunk was never unplayable at anytime nor did any quest give a softlock or that game didnt crash this much, and that game has far heavier graphics and more vivid world overall in comparison, this game should run much smoother looking at the things in it, but i get it, this is modern gaming, games get released like this all the time, uncomplete, rough diamonds or whatever, its funny btw how they tried to make skif sound like the character V from cyberpunk, must have been on purpose :D

[fallen elm]

Gotta catch me first. And I have a sneaking suspicion, they give exactly ZERO shit that I'm doing it. shrug

[twin cairn]

part of me wants to reinstall warthunder but idk if i wanna be shackled by the snail again

[spark yarrow]

so I dont get it, if it keeps pairing you against chads, doesnt that mean you are also a chad and you should play agaisnt people your level?

[faint wedge]

just wait till the ban waves

[fallen elm]

That's what you'd think. However it doesn't work like that.

[sweet stone]

play Wildermyth

[faint wedge]

its kinda broken the system u have 1 good game then it throws you into the deep end with the streamers with dark matter camo
