[clever sigil]

Half of the team worked remotely

[tardy flicker]

The best studios all do this though, they will have studios in different timezones that become active once another shuts down for the day and they all just save work on a database

[main cairn]

tech priest lmao

[clever sigil]

Its more for the people arguing that the studio moved to Prague.

[bronze tusk]

so i decided to reinstall the game. I uninstalled it (gog version) like you uninstall stuff in windows. I deleted all the files i had from the game from my disk. Fresh install ( sadly i had to redownload the game. with my turbo internet at the moment of max 4-5mb ><) took a while. Funnily enough. The folder created in appdata was not recreated and everything is now missing text strings 😄 menu keeps telling me sid whatever blah

[main cairn]

Ok fellow Stalkers - I need to sleep but thank you for the chat, it's as good as sausage, bread, and guitar.

[toxic comet]

uh so faust is still alive

[clever sigil]

You can't kill the messiah

[toxic comet]

this game needs bigger rewards for mission only 8k i cant even fix my armor now xD

[tardy flicker]

Rewards in stalker have always been pocket change to what you scavenge and sell

[hardy crystal]

Think they forgot to fill this in

God without the hud it literally looks like a real life picture

[fair thistle]

I agree to an extent, but theres alot of people who dont remember that ShoC had mutant parts, or that CS didnt have a stamina bar, or that ShoC didnt have a detector.

[grand patio]

where can i find a launcher for gamma?

[clever sigil]

Yeah but like ShoC was more them exoerimenting with stuff

[fair thistle]

Definitely, its just that so many people play with mods, like Skyrim, they forget how the vanilla experience was.

[clever sigil]

And werent the body parts spawning only when you actualy had task for them?

[main cairn]

Dude I don’t think any game studio on the planet can compete with 15 years of mods

[mental verge]

Nah

[clever sigil]

I just remember not really finding any

[mental verge]

Those were rare, but you could get them anytime

[fair thistle]

Yeah, even the stamina bar for Clear Sky was added by mods, only later did GSC finally cave in and add one officially.

[mental verge]

Btw, I’m on my way to Yantar, do you know if the Ecologists pay more for artifacts?

[clever sigil]

I like how the SA-80 has the muzzle cover modelled on in the original games.

[fair thistle]

Right now were seeing mods add in Mutant Parts for S2, so we could have a same situation as Clear Sky, where GSC just adds it in officially.

[clever sigil]

So it did not had one till they added it later on?

[fair thistle]

Yeah, community patch added a stamina bar, then later GSC patched it in. Could happen with mutant parts too.

[clever sigil]

Ah. Ok

[fair thistle]

GSC is pretty accepting to feedback imo

[clever sigil]

Cause the only things i remember from my CS playtrough were hate for freedom and that one stupid MG nest.

[toxic comet]

bread armor xD

[clever sigil]

I like how bread is the default texture

[proud wedge]

Reminds me of EFT apple juice ahh AK

[tacit glacier]

At this point visiting the stalker server is a biohazard

[fervent zenith]

such a breaded

[fair thistle]

I finished the game yesterday, didnt get the bread armor, but i did get alot of random weapons added to my inventory.

[tacit glacier]

Yes every message is getting mpreg reacted to kingdom come still

[golden hazel]

Man's visiting the asylum

[peak eagle]

They're absolutely loosing their minds over the Soon™️

[fair thistle]

That person impersonating orange man 😂

[grim crane]

Did anybody seen the mod that would allow to identify stalker faction, like it was in GAMMA?

[toxic comet]

i found it in unmarket stash lesser zone

[clever sigil]

Now i want the patch to be like
"Added background fix*

[tacit glacier]

Also every now and again somebody yells
PATCH IS OUT RESTART STEAM
The patch is not out. Do not restart steam

[golden hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/seymour-skinner-the-peanuts-steamed-hams-devilish-delightfully-devilish-gif-15950427

[toxic comet]

dumbters fire

[tacit glacier]

Let them push an actual patch but the patch notes are "fixed sidorovich not ripping off players enough."

[peak eagle]

patch is out, restart steam now

[clever sigil]

You need to open console and write vim

[whole oak]

what is better they both add range (Bullet range, or Bullet damage drop off)?

[golden hazel]

They need to make mutants tankier

[peak eagle]

drop off I suppose

[clever sigil]

Range is distance
Drop off is how much damage you lose over said distance

[whole oak]

but does range effect bullet damage at far distance?

[clever sigil]

Yes

[bronze tusk]

wdym 80m is no distance

[clever sigil]

Question is how is the damage fall off implemented

[full minnow]

i crashed 😦 in wild island in the east - walking towards a stash, the lights were black lines in the sky and then i crash a few seconds later bro....

fuck man wtf i never crashed before

[strong portal]

Definitely a bad server right now, I never had a problem with Stalker fans until I stumbled to that server.

[sweet perch]

Oooooohhh

[whole oak]

true, its just confusing me cause the bullet range stat seems like it does nothing but damage drop off but theres a stat called bullet damage drop off.

[golden hazel]

It's the gun from GAMMA

[toxic comet]

xD

well i am fuck exo repair cost 53k both weapons 26k

[peak eagle]

It's the gun from Stalkah

[golden hazel]

Get out of here Stalkah

[peak eagle]

Don't get hit, and don't use guns, 0 repair costs

[toxic comet]

RAT

[old sand]

Just got banned for no reason from main chat of that discord. Top notch mods

[tacit glacier]

You missed someone posting a twerking duck then

[peak eagle]

Sounds like the mods here too

[fair thistle]

Game studios having a Discord has kinda become this double edged sword of useful feedback and toxicity. Some people genuinely want to improve things, while others just want to shitpost.

[tacit glacier]

fr tho the situation is insane atm

[molten osprey]

Update live?

[tacit glacier]

No

[clever sigil]

They could have a curve that changes the whole way from 0m to the max.

Or it could be that the gun deals max damage from 0-20m then from 20-80m it goes slowly down to 20% of the damage
80-100 stays the 20%dmg

[old sand]

I've been sharing toughts on the game with well minded people on that discord over the last two days (few exceptions), now I just got banned lol.

[icy merlin]

wtf is this

[molten osprey]

Thaaaank you, cant check the xbox rn

[toxic temple]

stalker duck

[fair thistle]

Yeah, ive been in other game studio discords where they just get so tired of the negativity that they close all chat channels. Good moderators are hard to find.

[golden hazel]

Suck

[molten mulch]

I hope the people who were responsible for economy and balance in this game are forever remembered and never fucking hired by anyone else ever again

[fair thistle]

I believe that one was in a random apartment in Pripyat, its crazy the amount of detail and care that went into everyplace

[peak eagle]

How does it feel to be a stalker working 6-6 getting minimum wage coupons and exorbitant priced gear and repairs

[stable mica]

where do yall keep finding this bread armor???

[fair thistle]

Im 60 hours in and still havnt got bread armor 😂

[toxic temple]

tbh there not so many buildings in Pripyat that you can actually enter

[radiant pollen]

plz patch im now im getting into game but instant crash

Im getting insane

[fair thistle]

I wish there was more, like its more than CoP, but yeah

[peak eagle]

Soon™️

[radiant pollen]

😭

[toxic temple]

ye

[peak eagle]

trapped in nutty putty cave

[toxic temple]

I thought that we will be able to enter almost all of them.. But nope. Not at all

[old sand]

It shouldn't be tough to have a threshold for banning. There have been people spamming dicks and nsfw pics in their chat for weeks and nobody moved a finger. Oh well.

[queen zealot]

well I guess it's exhausting trying to put reality into immature nerds who want months worth of work in 10mins

[radiant pollen]

Yes please

[clever sigil]

There is not that many games where you can enter every single building

[cinder jungle]

finally patch is out

[sweet perch]

wooooooooh bebi

[hearty iron]

Well its game pass so give it like a week

[honest sparrow]

THEY POSTED A PATCH?

[peak eagle]

Works on my machine

[rose hound]

thats the only info I have seen

[fervent zenith]

[honest sparrow]

PLEASE GOD PLEASEEEEEEEEEE FIX THE MEMORY LEAKS

[mossy grail]

ahahahaha

[honest sparrow]

tbh idc abt alife rn i want the memory leaks to be gone i wont my 60 fps back

[covert ocean]

i think i read a life stuff is reserved for a later update, they wanted to focus on stability and quest bugs first

[hybrid heart]

Ready your SSD

[slim knot]

anyone playing on pc game pass having their game update ?

[honest sparrow]

oh it is ready.

[mossy grail]

oh

[hardy crystal]

Dvupalov's AI completely crashed, he is now just standing like that and unable to give him a collar :(

[honest sparrow]

@hybrid heart

[hybrid heart]

haha mortals

[covert ocean]

god its re writing 132 gb, basically a full reinstall lmao

[mossy grail]

so they focus on some quest bugs instead of the nr 1 franchise defining and advertised feature

[topaz dragon]

hdd users crying rn

[covert ocean]

idk i think its fair to say, people actually being able to finish the storyline takes priority

[mossy grail]

i love that GSC ever changes

[hardy crystal]

Welp, time to uninstall stalker 2 and play when the bugs have been fixed

[clever sigil]

They said that it will come down the line but not this patch.

[fervent zenith]

restarting steam works

[toxic temple]

Guys do you know the code? 8 numbers

[twin wave]

how do you think, are mods for v1 gonna work after patch?

[fervent zenith]

do anyone know if i sould throw out the mods for the patch?

[covert ocean]

00000000?

[hybrid heart]

Goodbye slow stalkers

[topaz dragon]

some mods missing can break saves, so idk

[honest sparrow]

you got 8x my speed bro

[toxic temple]

[peak eagle]

Time to kneecap you

[fervent zenith]

well the patch will brake the save or mods or the mods will brake braking my save

[clever sigil]

They said that they have a team dedicated to A-Life.

No Reason for them to ignore stuff like vram memory leaks and softlocks.

[blissful thunder]

what does monolith look like

[peak eagle]

like the monolith

[blissful thunder]

show picture

[covert ocean]

the mods will overwrite whatever gets patched, so gameplay/balance stuff should be fine, if youve got the engine tweaks through .ini files i'd suggest tryng the game without those first

[outer bolt]

yup, you'd need to disable them and sleep like 3 times in game if you play with mutant loot, so that all mutant parts get removed, also you must first sell all mutant parts to trader in the beginning of the process

[dim phoenix]

How do you do spoilers on phone again? || Test || nvm

[mossy grail]

should have had a team for playtesting

[fervent zenith]

you get to meet really quicky if you do side quest also there alot more reasonable in stalker 2

[kindred rune]

is their any a-life mod working fine ??

[peak eagle]

urban white camo, green body armor

[hardy crystal]

FINALLY IT'S OUT

[covert ocean]

[blissful thunder]

should i buy stalker 2

[jade dragon]

aint no way

[sand fjord]

I have the game via pc gamepass and I have no idea if it has update or no

[mellow folio]

It's good, I enjoy it quite a bit honestly. If you're used to gamma though it's gonna feel very, very, very arcade-y though. Less survival horror, more bullet sponge arcade-like.

[twin wave]

is 2 hour long game session ?

[jade dragon]

well they just made all current mods useless

[blissful thunder]

[peak eagle]

You have to wander the field dodging psi-ghosts, you'll notice a small glowing object near the green orbs that'll be the Weird Water artifact

[hardy crystal]

Bro now the groks mutant health mods make them die in 1 shot pretty much

[warm temple]

i'm updating right now

[mellow folio]

To put it into perspective || saiga-12 on veteran took me like 50 point blank buckshot to kill a chimera, and even a RPG-7 didn't kill one with a direct rocket to the face.||

[sweet perch]

.

[blissful thunder]

lol

[warm temple]

was starting it to test a mod and i thought the download was due to the mod lol

[graceful elbow]

no alife LMAO

[sweet perch]

and was it fun?

[hardy crystal]

https://tenor.com/view/tired-r2d2-starwars-fall-gif-16033716

[bronze tusk]

was excpected at least from my pov because they are "simple" value changes

[mossy grail]

gsc got bent by tourists playing on veteran

[icy bough]

[mellow folio]

||Yes, because it happened during an emission with me jumping out of my chair like a fucking looney tunes character freaking out because anytime I tried to get anywhere the chimera would just follow me in the building and fuck my shit up.||

[icy bough]

[mossy grail]

all ur mods be fucked up

[icy bough]

oh i just had "engine.ini" file that was changed. I don't have mods installed

[hearty iron]

whats gonna happen to mods after installing patch?

[peak eagle]

So long as the update fixes me crashing on emissions

[graceful elbow]

WHAT ABOUT PERFORMANCE FIXES

[bronze tusk]

the bigger question is does the update fix my issues with crashing in every safezone after 40-50 seconds without any reason 🙂

[runic token]

i got hardlocked and needed to start over again :,<

[icy bough]

Thank fucking god repair cost has been lowered. Bro armor repair was costing 5k coupons for just 5%

[winged eagle]

Damage to Boar from headshots changed to 100% of body damage.
Damage to Boar from shots to the limbs is increased.

[trail kestrel]

should grok mods still work technically?

[sweet perch]

my only problem(s) was the memory leaks and dead world. looks like they fixed the memory leak problem.

[runic token]

is that actual live or does it comes out? didnt got updates on steam

[icy bough]

@runic token its out on steam rn

[orchid mantle]

there def gonan be doing more ai tweaks throughout the next few patches

[topaz dragon]

restart steam

[icy bough]

try closing steam then opening it

[runic token]

hell thats nice thanks for ping : 3

[covert ocean]

yeeah probably, they'll either make the mutants even weaker, or overwrite what gsc changed themselves

[dim phoenix]

Been wandering for an hour in it xD, should it be in the center? Near one of the static green orbs?

[runic token]

aighty many thanks friend

[icy bough]

WE ARE SAVED.
NO MORE TANK MUTANTS

[stoic lichen]

Did they fix weapon durability so that you don’t lose 20% perfect from shooting less than a mag?

[peak eagle]

the static ones, the artifact will only be in range of one of the orbs

[sullen bloom]

honestly that's a pretty good patch

[runic token]

bro now i beleive in the monolith god 🤌

[trail kestrel]

I'll see what the man itself grok says

[peak eagle]

"Psydog fight still suxs"

[icy bough]

fixed 120 other issues GODDAMN

[trail kestrel]

kek

[runic token]

nice many thanks friends the update4 just started

[covert ocean]

imma gonna boot the game with them still on when its done installing, ill employ the fucking around and finding out method

[median cedar]

noiceee

[unborn stag]

Well, keep in mind that it's a lot of the main mutants nerfed. Chimera and Psuedogiants are still quite strong.

[inner adder]

It seems to me that not yet. for some reason I can not check the update (marked red circle).

[solid lily]

how`s the patch so far?

[peak eagle]

It just came out

[topaz fox]

Its live, downloading on Steam.

[solid lily]

ohh, ty

[unborn stag]

also they nerfed the money glitch, this is so sad bros

[peak eagle]

Give us like an hour to try it out

[runic token]

strong issnt the problem but if you go with a beebee gun against a tank it just sux

[sullen bloom]

arf the g-sync flickering issue is not fixed yet

[icy bough]

damn. No a-life fixes yet

[clever sigil]

After I read the patch notes, I wonder if I should jíst start new game

[runic token]

if i might ask what flickering you mean?

[icy bough]

A new patch, A new save

[fair thistle]

Seems like they focused too much on Rookie difficulty, and not the other difficulties, but could be wrong.

[clever sigil]

Yep, mainly because of the mission fixes

[unborn stag]

yeah even with a RAM-2/Saiga spam to their head, still takes a bit (even with Grok's mod lol). SVU, on the other hand, destroys them. Probs just a penetration thing. Am also curious if they have resistance to explosives, cause they seem to just not take much damage from them.

[sullen bloom]

the screen is flickering when g-sync is on

[dim phoenix]

Rookie is the hardest to balance imo

[runic token]

i need to test it

[icy bough]

i have never seen a fucking game fix 650 bugs (or maybe even more) in a single patch wtf

[desert rampart]

they went on an anomoly hunt

[icy bough]

in 9 days too

[covert ocean]

just get 3 rhino's from malachite, all the weapons you'll ever need

[unborn stag]

[fair thistle]

"Damage to player's weapon is decreased by 23 percent on Rookie difficulty."

I feel like they need to do that for all difficulties.

[unborn stag]

I do have a rhino. Great for killing exo-monolith

[runic token]

ah ok, sadly i use amd shit : <
may set your frames manmually on like 60 if the monitor or smart tv allows it, otherwise go down to 30

[icy bough]

No

[haughty sierra]

Fat patch is out in about to bus

[covert ocean]

1 with a scope for sniping, one without scope for close/med range, and one with the buckshot upgrade just cuz

[desert rampart]

some of it probably was they had the patch half done but not ready to release when the game launched

[unborn stag]

The STALKER, indeed, had three big irons on their hip.

[median cedar]

thats a big patch

[runic token]

yus

[desert rampart]

13 gig patch lol

[unborn stag]

I hope the z-fighting is fixed at sphere, though. Seizure inducing lol.

[covert ocean]

thats just the download, it also re writes 130gb xD

[runic token]

13 gig sounds like amazing. i dare to hope its for 2 fixers xD
but i think the devs of the game got enough of experience from SoC and CS launch

[sage wolf]

Hey guys. Now that the patch is out, will deleting the “mods” folder fuck up my game save? Or nah

[sand fjord]

Yea I can’t too

[graceful elbow]

i still dont see any performance fixes

[runic token]

usually yes
but not in all cases

[unborn stag]

There's a section talking about performance fixes

[covert ocean]

possibly

[runic token]

just try it out

[sage wolf]

Time to chance it 😎

[graceful elbow]

this ? this is nothing

[desert rampart]

the current mods are value edits

[runic token]

wish guwd luck : 3

[covert ocean]

fucking around and finding out is what i recommend

[sullen bloom]

oh I have above 60 fps with no issues, the issue is just not there if I turn off g-sync. It's fine I'll wait for them to patch it up

[sage wolf]

I just don’t wanna have bloodsuckers have like negative 2 HP after the update

[unborn stag]

100 different crashes and memory leaks isn't enough? lol

[graceful elbow]

the word "performance" is only mentioned 2 times

[twin wave]

so far cant complain,game runs much smoother

[sand fjord]

Download and play

[late kernel]

Hey as long as Rostok don't crash the shit out of my PC I'll take it

[runic token]

aitghy friend. how i mentioned im not familiar with G sync at all : <

[lusty bloom]

My entire game is fucked up now entire menu is just this
SID_MISC_PAUSEMENU_CONTINUE
SID_MISC_PAUSEMENU_PLAY
Etc.

[proud hazel]

Are you using mods with new patch?

[icy bough]

Now watch as every mod in nexus breaks

[runic token]

i jsut know my system hates V sync for some reason

[honest sparrow]

allat for a 13gb update

[sage wolf]

The balance adjustments are honestly a big plus for me

[icy bough]

650 bugs fixes (or even more ) for 13gb is a bliss

[covert ocean]

allat... not in the dictionary

[late kernel]

They don't list out every fix they did because it don't fit into one post

[runic token]

nice cant wait to play it

[sand fjord]

Patch hasn’t arrived for gamepass users yet

[toxic temple]

wtf it is broken

[graceful elbow]

the og trilogy is less than 13 gb for fucks sake

[sage wolf]

Thankfully I haven’t really been having performance issues

[thorn cosmos]

Gamepass still waiting

[unborn stag]

[sage wolf]

I’m just hoping removing the mods folder won’t mess anything up boys. I will report back with my findings regarding this

[sand fjord]

Same, I just downloaded like 6 mods to try to solve them

[runic token]

hahahah

[sage wolf]

What does this mean XD

[unborn stag]

I doubt removing the folder will break anything. Just cut/paste it elsewhere

[toxic temple]

Last one prints whatever but not what ure pressing. And some of them just changing all other

[late kernel]

Unreal Engine games always had massive sized updates because of the way the files are packed

[dusty pumice]

[sage wolf]

I just dragged and dropped onto my desktop in case it messed anything up I can slot it back in

[jolly plaza]

does anyone know if that bug that kills towns is fixed

[covert ocean]

dont forget the engine.ini if you installed the tweaks, and let us know if/what issues occur with what mods ❤️

[unborn stag]

yeah what I was gunna do.

[honest sparrow]

oh fuck yeah

[late kernel]

no more infinite money glitch

[lusty bloom]

i just hope i can actually get the weird bolt right now

[runic token]

wtf : 3
"fixed a bug where players could be correct"? xD
or it may be a glitch

[sage wolf]

Uh I didn’t do any .ini tweaks as far as I’m aware. All I did was add .pak files

[icy bough]

[slim acorn]

Damn, that sucks

[honest sparrow]

what sucks

[clever sigil]

The patch just came out. Most of people are at work or still downloading.

[sage wolf]

And just to clarify since I think you might be inferring the wrong idea, I’m trying to REMOVE my mods not use them with the update

[unborn stag]

am downloading atm myself.

[slim acorn]

Making Koupons worth less 😄

[toxic temple]

I cant even find any info about this flat and code for it on Internet. like.. AT ALL

[unborn stag]

Yeah, that's what I mean. Just move your mods folder out of the folder they're normally in for now.

[runic token]

bno clue. i like it when i get more than 800 koubons whiule my outtake is like 3k xD

[clever sigil]

Yeah lets see you say that after you will have to spend 100k on repairs

[honest sparrow]

huh

[covert ocean]

mods that only adjust values, like mutant hp, or prices of items shouldnt cause your save to break, stuff that adds new items might though

[slim acorn]

easy

[runic token]

huh wait what mission is that?

[honest sparrow]

oh yeah they also decreased repair cost

[drowsy narwhal]

I guess it's time to remove most of the mods (except no splashscreen, readable ammo, the new blood, nobeeping and realgunnames)

[clever sigil]

They removed the money glitch

[runic token]

thank god..

[honest sparrow]

btw has anyone tried running the patch with v1 mods

[toxic temple]

No mission. Random flat on the last flour of a random building in Pripyat

[drowsy narwhal]

hope that will be enough

[covert ocean]

guess you'll just have to actually explore ingame... like a gamer should do

[mental field]

Anyone else having very slow "Patching" on Steam?

cant wait for getting implemented "in the future" : s

[unborn stag]

where's this located?

[ripe quiver]

hello everyone. does anyone know if the new 1.01 update breaks/delete mods?

[mental field]

I think it already downloaded, but patching takes time (extracting) but I have SSD idk why it takes so long though

[sage wolf]

Unfortunately I repaired all my gear before this update so I can’t test the new prices

[dusty pumice]

How slow do you guys consider slow, it's maxing my 100mbps

[drowsy narwhal]

yeah the same

[paper plaza]

Does the update break any mods?

[clever sigil]

Breaks yes, removes? No

[mental field]

Still patching very slowly on Steam. Couldn't try it yet

[ripe quiver]

thanks

[runic token]

live is RNG some ppl start slower and some might start with ludachris speed

[slim acorn]

Brother, unless they fix the value items are sold for it's still not a problem 😄

[drowsy narwhal]

well if you are without mods u'll need the repair soon...

[covert ocean]

the download was done in a few minutes, now its just rewriting the 132gb of data

[sage wolf]

The “patching” process isn’t dependent on your internet speeds

[empty whale]

so is it just me or is the story to this game basically Clear Sky 2

[lusty bloom]

Weird Bolt is still bugged

[unborn stag]

Is that Pripyat? Check the stash description. If you found it via a PDA, generally, the clue is in the PDA/PDA log.

[honest sparrow]

oh well shit, time to wait till the next week for the mods to patch

[clever sigil]

Thats exactly what they did

[fringe sorrel]

If you use Mutant loot mod remove it and download the uninstall file to make the save file work

[sage wolf]

All I had before was repair cost reduce and bloodsucker HP reduce

[covert ocean]

actually, its stalker 2

[timid oyster]

"Fixed multiple issues in the On the Edge mission, including idle NPCs, stuck doors, and the Monolith attack progression."

LETS GOOOOO

[empty whale]

yeahg but the plot is like the same as clear sky

[toxic temple]

i have a log, yes. But these is no any code info

[strong portal]

Well for some reason Steam says I have no more space despite I do for the update. Amazing. 😭

[runic token]

i want anoimaly actual now in stalker 2 xD

[slim acorn]

I mean the way You actually get the money, by using i.e. 2 grenades then taking them back before selling...

[empty whale]

did anybody here play clear sky...

[covert ocean]

you'll be fine, i doubt the patch will affect you with just those mods

[runic token]

yus a bit

[clever sigil]

Thats what they fixed

[honest sparrow]

if they actually fix memory leaks taking my fps all the way down to fucking 10 fps than im gonna be happier than a child whos got a lollipop

[sage wolf]

I removed my mods but my save seems to be working fine now

[slim acorn]

@clever sigil I'd need to record this to explain xD

[knotty spruce]

Who's saying that S2 is not like GAMMA? Here's the good old emission marker bug (the emission is long gone)

[unborn stag]

what's it say? I had to do some detective work for a different stash in the burnt forest that had no info on the internet so

[vivid heath]

Big patch pog

[drowsy narwhal]

based

[covert ocean]

had this yesterday, i came to the same conclusion xD

[honest sparrow]

i think the devs jsut really liked gamma they needed to make it an easter egg!

[clever sigil]

Love it

[unborn stag]

find shelter
shelter is 1km away

[runic token]

thats so true dude xD

[honest sparrow]

ill loot your dead body after the emission

[drowsy narwhal]

F8

[unborn stag]

You'd get a fully upgrade exo, compass, hypercube, jellyfish and two liquid rocks

[molten mulch]

Even the music is stuttering in this piece of shit

[runic token]

"dies of looting while emission

[timid oyster]

[clever sigil]

Yey rocks

[honest sparrow]

hell yeah

[unborn stag]

"Another lost to the Zone..."

[drowsy narwhal]

haven't experienced such bugs..

[rose hound]

patch works great bros

[toxic temple]

Lots of items. Tired of moving em

and second one is just text about how well was his last looting trip

[honest sparrow]

cant wait to make my s2 install a tactifest slop

[timid oyster]

I HOPE YOU D-

[thorn cosmos]

Gamepass sucks haha still waiting

[unborn stag]

[slim acorn]

I'm not talking bout the glitch where You confirm the trade then get items back, but about the thing, where among items for sell, You add like 2 nades and when taking it back window pops up, You're shown the correct amount of Koupons You get not the 30-50% of the value

[sage wolf]

The updated artifact prices are still silly tho. My artifact is worth 70k and the trader wants to gimme like 13k for it haha

[honest sparrow]

nah if were being fr i want more things to loot and more weapons

[sage wolf]

Pre patch, the artifact was worth 10k less tho so I mean. We’re making strides

[honest sparrow]

looting the same damn cossacks vidka is drivinf me insane

[toxic temple]

Yes. Playing Ukrainian lol

[hardy crystal]

https://tenor.com/view/tatical-reload-reload-pistol-cool-trick-gif-19469233

[clever sigil]

Both if them should be fixed.

[honest sparrow]

hell yeah

[jade dragon]

Stalkour works, and longer sprinting and weight balance mods

[unborn stag]

I play Ukr. VAs and english subs. Am a brainlet and only understand english

[timid oyster]

I want more guns, armors and anomalies with artifacts.

[honest sparrow]

stalkour?

[slim acorn]

Mkay.. let's see then if they patched that up too, then we can discuss about the repair costs 😄

[late kernel]

That shows the full price. Every trader has different selling prices

[jade dragon]

Stalkour😎

[mental field]

ledge grabbing

[timid oyster]

Also, I want the CNPP and the Iron Forest.

[sage wolf]

Stalkour?

[honest sparrow]

cant find it

[low cave]

best ,mod out there

[sage wolf]

Yeah I’m still waiting to find some scientists to sell it to

[late kernel]

Yeah i like to vault into rooftops and places i shouldn't be able to really nice mod /s

[tacit glacier]

I was going to say "Update's here"
But I see ya'll already know

[honest sparrow]

found it thanks

[unborn stag]

oh yeah I need that mod

[knotty spruce]

do i need a quest to get the ||tornado aftefact|| or does it spawn naturally?

[bronze cloak]

over 650 + fixes patch? hell yea!

[warm temple]

what about performance? Did you notice any difference_

[somber leaf]

quick question: does Grok's reballance change the actual hp values or just a multiplier? since the new update also makes the mutants less tanky I dont want it to become too easy

[clever sigil]

I found out that not everything has solid texture and fell under the map

[fair path]

Does anyone have a complete list of fixes?

[sage wolf]

Yeah the Steam page

[spice temple]

God damn it, GSC, and why did I do all those tweaks in Omega 🤨

[clever sigil]

You keep falling til game crashes

[timid oyster]

Check steam

[knotty spruce]

oh shit the patch dropped?

[tacit glacier]

Holy fuck 14gb

[sage wolf]

I removed that mod because I don’t want bloodsuckers to be dying to 1 pistol bullet. It should be fixed now

[dusty pumice]

[unborn stag]

tbf they died to like 4 shotgun blasts in old games so

[sage wolf]

In S2 bloodsuckers were too op by default. Glad the values have changed

[unborn stag]

power of the glass cannon bloodsuckers. Lots of damage, very fast, invisibility--die in like three hits lol

[warm temple]

?

[clever sigil]

Yey another SG 550 fan

[slate locust]

Update just came out, give it time.

[warm temple]

ok

[sage wolf]

It would be different if you could actually GAIN anything from killing them instead of them being strictly a waste of resources

[warm temple]

like in old stalkers

[sage wolf]

Not in Vanilla S2 lol you needed to pour like 5 AK mags into them

[clever sigil]

13GB update drops.

People few minutes after.
Did the fixes work?

[fair path]

I don't have the opportunity
Work

[unborn stag]

oh I meant in the older games. S2 requires like 2 full AK dumps lol

[sage wolf]

One of my fave weapons in gamma

[clever sigil]

Download steam in phone

[sage wolf]

I’ll send it when back home. Grabbing Maccas brekkie rn

[warm temple]

yeah i know, waited 9 years for this game to drop, so i'm always kind of overhyped

[stoic lichen]

So you’re the one who made the modpack?

[unborn stag]

Was watching old footage of bloodsuckers in the old games and you just blast them four times with a shotgun and they melt. Honestly, what annoys me more is the stunlock on bloodsuckers. If that didn't exist, I wouldn't be so mad fighting them.

[spice temple]

Some day we will have SDK and a PDA chat mod. Missing this feature

[clever sigil]

xD fair

[leaden verge]

hey guys random question, does any pistol have a red dot or any scope attackement?

[sage wolf]

Yeah fr. SoC has them balanced well

[slate locust]

I always remembered bloodsuckers dying in 3-4 shots, yeah. Shotgun shots.

[unborn stag]

PDA chat mod that links to the GAMMA discord so you can have people talk shit while in game

[clever sigil]

They simply evolved over them years

[spice temple]

Yes

[shadow hornet]

Yooooo

[unborn stag]

though, tbf, they didn't have armour, it was just "use buckshot." Now I gotta use AP slugs for some reason lol.

[stoic lichen]

Nice.

[dusty pumice]

patch notes said the text at the bottom would be readable, I can't read that

[thorny dagger]

I'm at the last mission hopefully this patch fixes the bug

[slate locust]

Bloodsuckers shouldn't be tanky, they're already hard to hit.

[low cave]

this shit would be fucking nice

[shadow hornet]

How i’s mutant health? I’m not home

[peak eagle]

gawdamn it, still crashing on emissions

[unborn stag]

I'm surprised people crash on emissions. Never crashed during one myself lol

[winged eagle]

cant get the sosig inside the crate 😡

[sage wolf]

I wanted a mod like that for gamma so bad. Or even a mod where all the ppl playing gamma could chat via PDA

[shadow hornet]

Knife

[clever sigil]

Good, the vet gave them some vitamins

[cedar tapir]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-my-god-its-happening-ok-stay-calm-the-office-gif-6091046

[vivid heath]

you can destroy those boxes 🙂

[peak eagle]

It started happening later for me, and I'm tryna do a scripted emission on the main quest for me

[knotty spruce]

i never crash on emissions, i crash on every single random thing

[sand fjord]

Just break it

[shadow hornet]

No more 3 mag bloodsucky?

[unborn stag]

you can melee it more to break the box

[hybrid heart]

[sage wolf]

Fr

[clever sigil]

4 Maga now

[winged eagle]

bad for enviroment

[unborn stag]

Same with med/ammo boxes. Pro tip.

[shadow hornet]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaa no way

[echo pollen]

do grok's mods still work? can anyone confirm? It seems the patch notes left some mutants out of the nerfs

[unborn stag]

here, I'll chek with all my mods loaded to see if it breaks

[rose hound]

mutant loot seems to cause problems

[clever sigil]

To be fair original plan to deal with zone was to plant nuke in the powerplant

[sage wolf]

A problem with bloodsuckers in this game is that they take like zero stagger. Blasting them point blank in the head with a shotgun should at least slow them down a little

[hybrid heart]

Mods overwrite cfgs, so it wont work till modders patch it

[shadow hornet]

Exactly

[glacial flint]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1643320/view/4455844537830474602?l=english

[sage wolf]

Depends which mods. Most of the .pak mods work but anything that ADDS content might not

[golden hazel]

Reading the patch notes I realized Bloodsuckers have health regen

[unborn stag]

Their stagger is different. They start a charge but if you headshot them, they'll run away. It's hard to tell cause they're invisible.

[molten mulch]

so much pointless fucking running, this bitch needs a helicopter mod

[barren wharf]

That changelog is massive. Nice. 💪

[pseudo jacinth]

play arma

[polar sigil]

wow this is the 3rd hypercube

[unborn stag]

Get the thanos chopper from fortnite into the game.

[hybrid heart]

wut

[pseudo jay]

wtf is this

[spice temple]

I recommend wait for mod updates. They will be working, but also you will be partially playing old version of Stalker 2 with them.

[golden hazel]

They lowered the health regen it says in the notes

[vivid heath]

Me with a Spas-12 "Health regen?"

[barren wharf]

Wym?

[peak eagle]

Didn't realize bloodsuckers had regen while invisible

[unborn stag]

I think all mutants regen health.

[tacit glacier]

A game update. They happen.

[pseudo jacinth]

impossible

[pseudo jay]

132 gb of patch update?

[honest sparrow]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/476
here, i got no idea if it works with v1.1 (not my mod just so were clear)
go to zone with this

[tacit glacier]

Yeah

[echo pollen]

bloodsucker regen is outside of combat, not while invis

[barren wharf]

Ue things

[sturdy tinsel]

where are the notes

[pseudo jay]

Really that thappens?

[bronze tusk]

where? it says 13.75gb not 132

[barren wharf]

Right side of his image

[sturdy tinsel]

reading comprehension 0

[tacit glacier]

Okay guys
I can explain why that works like that

[unborn stag]

the left is the update. Right is just overwriting files.

[thorn cosmos]

Ya has to plug update into old files

[peak eagle]

No don't, stalkers don't read here

[unborn stag]

If you've played a CoD game in modern times, does that too. Also, think my game crashed with old mods, can confirm they're useless atm

[golden hazel]

I read them on the game library page for steam

[pseudo jacinth]

shit is not hard

[barren wharf]

Why people cry? Patch is good

[low cave]

any one has a mod for unlimited weight?

[topaz dragon]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl

[low cave]

fuck all there

[mental verge]

Do ecologists pay more for artifacts like in the previous games?

[thorn cosmos]

Any gamepass users get the update yet?

[pseudo jay]

Guys i couldnt find a life fix in patch notes can someone tell me which section it is in

[hasty plover]

still waiting :/

[tall pecan]

later with xbox update

[spice temple]

I don’t think so

[topaz dragon]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/19 .....................

[barren wharf]

Cry more lol

[tacit glacier]

To optimize game updates on Steam, Valve designed a way to not have to download the entire archive file that is affected.

Meaning, the client downloads smaller patch files that are then applied onto the files that already exist on your drive.

You know, so you don't have to redownload 130+ GB's with every update.

[glad socket]

How's the patch looking boisM

[ocean laurel]

Time to delete all mods after update?

[low cave]

yes thats the mod ive used but it doesnt work no more

[pseudo jay]

maybe people were not wrong when they said a life is not in they will add it later

[tall pecan]

i deleted them just in case

[timber crown]

nono its a "bug"

[topaz dragon]

probably cuz of the patch

[ocean laurel]

An anomaly

[low cave]

yea true but now i cant move xdddd

[vivid heath]

Hilarious how many times they say "a-life fixes will come in future patches" and people still don't understand lol

[timber crown]

bug will be fixed in 2 years guys

[tacit glacier]

What the fuck..

THEY LITERALLY SAID A DIFFERENT TEAM IS WORKING ON A-LIFE WHILE THE MAIN ONE IS FIXING MORE EASY TO ADDRESS ISSUES.

[tall pecan]

stop screaming!

[royal hollow]

https://tenor.com/view/buzz-woody-everywhere-toys-toy-story-gif-14354228

[timber crown]

not that odd tbh, you dont want people to onboard to all the existing code

[vivid heath]

"But a guy on reddit said the patch would fix a life"

[golden hazel]

You foolish fool that foolishly fools, this is the GAMMA server, nobody can read

[tacit glacier]

Get out of here, Franziska!

[solid lily]

ok so SOME NPCs are reacting to a gun pointed at their face

[tacit glacier]

I mean.. They already did

[pseudo jay]

just because someone does not make it suddenly appear from thin air my issue is why is it not even in the game in the first place

[slate locust]

They've done that before.

[grim crane]

@keen minnow what about your mods after patch ? 🙂

[solid lily]

not in my game

[tacit glacier]

Screw your assumption, have a wall of text that actually proves A-Life exists but is just horrendously broken
https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1h2dk04/a_weeklong_investigation_into_the_alife_20_system/?rdt=46402

[slate locust]

It is in the game, it's just bugged. Check pinned messages.

[barren wharf]

He just trolling. Or stupid

[regal wagon]

so we have quite a lot of balance changes for mutants... but the psydogs are untouched

[honest sparrow]

"p-p-people in the GAMMA server c-can't read...? what...?"

[pseudo jacinth]

sometimes i lose faith in humanity

[orchid wave]

Well, lucky me, I can just keep playing old version till new stuff chills out. GOG goated in this way

[royal hollow]

sometimes? thats pretty good odds for discord.

[barren wharf]

Can someone tell me where did i download groks x1.0 damage file from??? I cant find it anymore on nexus

[pseudo jacinth]

then i remember gamma discord users arent human

[orchid wave]

thanks for the good read!

[keen minnow]

working, but tweaking it a bit. Also, No Aimbot mod still needed

[grim crane]

you are the man !

[snow sail]

I thought there were anomalies :(

[tacit glacier]

The tl;dr from the end

1. Nobody without the source code truly knows the scope of what A-life 2.0 is supposed to be, but it is evidently a complex and ambitious framework that already exists in the game itself, yet is completely broken and/or unfinished at the moment
2. The Lair System that exists in the game largely matches pre-release information and community manager claims about A-Life 2.0, even though full NPC persistence across the zone seems improbable with the system.
3. The Lair System is supposed to be a background simulation of a territory war across the zone which controls the population and behaviors of the NPCs you actually see in the game.
4. The Director in the game is so broken that an a-life fix does not seem easy. This means that an A-Life patch will take a while.

[untold matrix]

Mutant loot mod certainly isn't happy with the update 😄

[tropic nymph]

Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl is attempting to launch with optional parameters shown down below: Stalker2 -> what ive not added any launch options and now it wont start only a background process. anyone got this?

[tall pecan]

i like how everyone suddenly left the game to apply the patch lol

[molten bison]

mods still working with the upgrade?

[grim crane]

some do, some does not.

[low cave]

not all

[tall pecan]

some arent

[molten bison]

gyat

[pseudo jay]

yeah its just funny to me that just because it exists doesnt mean it shouldnt be a problem since it shouldnt be broken in the first place second i was joking about the part where i said it doesnt exist but alas sarcasm is hard to get

[pseudo jacinth]

oh brother

[golden hazel]

All those stalkers wanting to save Zalissya

[tacit glacier]

Honestly at this point I seen so many claims and takes its hard to pick up on it tbf

It's killing me with how rare 7.62x39 is. I have a fully upgraded RPM but no ammo to shoot.

[tall pecan]

sudden drop in the active number of players a bit ago

[pseudo jacinth]

i personally like to say a life doesnt exist and it's just a Gmod player spawning in NPCs

[spice temple]

Mods are literally taking a part of game configs and replace it. Right now - with old values. Wait for updates.

[elfin stone]

Tbf sarcasm is incredibly hard to detect over text.

[tacit glacier]

I'm about to start the game but I'm afraid mutant loot will do me in

[snow sail]

Were fixes good btw? Did they fix optimization and memory leaks?

[marsh skiff]

Someone know when Xbox Game Pass will get the Update?

[tacit glacier]

Okay it seems mutant loot wont crash me, just yoink my controller brain fluid

[pseudo jay]

tbh they are technically adding it after launch since they have an entire team dedicating on fixing it but i am sick and tired of broken launches shits not fun

[clever sigil]

Did you read the patchnotes?

[pseudo jacinth]

does anyone have 100 hours yet

[pseudo jay]

start looking at emojis it helps

[untold matrix]

You mean just removing the mod, right?

[zealous crescent]

Patch notes?

[snow sail]

Mhm

[spice temple]

Mutant loot mod will revert all changes to monsters done in this patch

Someone have updated the game and tell us if there's a performance improvement?

[tacit glacier]

Honestly if not for the fact Microsoft was funding the game they probably would have delayed it as on PC they self published it.
@spice temple @untold matrix I mean deleting the mod from my game

[distant inlet]

I guess the patch doesn't exist on pc gamepass lol

[hasty plover]

You can't fix game pass version

[late kernel]

Or they pushing it out later

[grim crane]

they said it will come later TODAY, probably steam servers are faster to roll it. learn to read PLEASE.

[blissful nebula]

I'm assuming it's delayed

[strong shoal]

dope

[strong shoal]

xbox will be later it seems

[desert rampart]

probably has to get aproved like consols

[marsh skiff]

Doenst had any problems with it. At least no other Problems that steam also had

[regal wagon]

if you shoot an RPG at it ||it's likely that nothing happens, idk I'm not wasting my time.||

[spice temple]

Consoles are always slow. Treat Game Pass as a console.

[late kernel]

The game has no multiplayer or crossplay yet, so they dont have to wait for Microsoft to verify updates that takes a day or two

[dusk harbor]

Hi this update broke some mods ?

[winged eagle]

🙀

[late kernel]

Some mods are definitely broken

[covert ocean]

why am i hungry all the time, like the icon comes up every 5 minutes

Any cfg files they updated will need to be modded again and reuploaded.

Do we need start new game to feel the new update?

[wary orbit]

it says so right on the sign can't you read?

Holy shit the update is huge

No, you shouldn't need to. But if you're close to the beginning, it might be worth it to.

Count as 10% of game in garbage?

[fair thistle]

Theres a backwards 3, so just try punching in 3333

[golden hazel]

Ok but dont let it distract you from the fact that the xbox one will be the next watercooler

[paper plaza]

I would just keep playing. You don't need to restart.

[wary orbit]

Doesn't that give you bad teeth instead of being analphabetic?

[tall pecan]

what do we do with launch parameter on steam? cancel or continue?

[hollow mirage]

when u get close to it will will "hunt" you or someting idk

[spice temple]

I don’t think there’s any optimisation treatment, sadly. Still too low FPS.

[wanton coyote]

Well time to delete mods from my folder cause of the new patch

[paper plaza]

Yep

[sly burrow]

"Fixed eyes and teeth on NPC models."

[fair thistle]

Ok so now, when next update? 😅

[wanton coyote]

Man keep reading that list, it is LONG

[toxic temple]

No money glitch

[crystal quartz]

The patch literally fixed the unbeaeable fps drops in hubs

[wanton coyote]

today it’s live rn on steam and Xbox they just posted it

[tall pecan]

?

[brave hawk]

13.68GB update..... some dude should be beaten up... how do you need to fix 13GB of textures?

[charred tapir]

its not just textures

[knotty spruce]

the game probably wants to run in admin mode for optimisation

[tropic nymph]

what the hell is this i cant even play - is there any place in the configs there is a line/row with launch parameters?

[spice temple]

It’s an issue of poor game packaging by devs

[wary orbit]

If you are having issues downloading 13GB how the hell did you download the game in the first place

[brave hawk]

i know its not, but code = few MBs of changes.... GB = textures or bad packaging

[tall pecan]

oh boy what is this now , they are multiplying

[wary orbit]

be gratefull they did not ship this patch on 3,5 inch floppy disks

hey guys Im tryinna sleep and I cant says, cant sleep status ailiment, anyone know what that means ? tryinna wait for my third round at the arena

At that point just delete them and play vanilla

Nah, there's a few I'd rather keep.

[tall pecan]

SIGHHHHHHHH

[winged eagle]

my mod folder after patch

[polar sigil]

ran into an invincible ward dude at malachite bruh

[spice temple]

I begin to be grateful to myself for choosing Unity as my engine back in time.

[ripe spindle]

I find it kind of funny that this update has made 80% of the currently available mods worthless

[tacit glacier]

Well the bloodsuckers die faster now

[wanton coyote]

Same I deleted all of them

[warped monolith]

unity 🤮

[paper plaza]

I backed my game files up.

[brave hawk]

thats the philosophy of a java programmer.
If we can buy a server with 4 TB of ram, why make a program that only needs 12KB per active client connection? lets make one that uses 200MB and replicates every class in the java standard libs 10 times!!!

[timber crown]

unity is for masochists

[winged eagle]

based dagoth in the zone

[tacit glacier]

New issue: Game crashed

[wanton coyote]

[stuck condor]

Looks like chat gpt wrote patch notes for stalker 2 lol

[proven nest]

tried it and got a grenade to the head 😂

[tacit glacier]

Could be that removing mods fucked me over anyway.

[sonic reef]

new issue: cant finish a quest not sure if its due to update 😏

[spice temple]

Did d you make any game in Unity? If not, you are very wrong.

[wanton coyote]

Also suggest deleting all your Engine INI and modes having to do with optimization once the game is done downloading your patch

[young spear]

Same issue, even after deleting and reinstalling all files lol

[warped monolith]

bro goes straight to the ad hominem

[tall pecan]

i think i fixed it by removing "Run as administrator" option on compatibility section

[proven nest]

is this a theory or is that actually how you found the code?

[timber crown]

Unity is for people who are too lazy to write their own engine and too stubborn to adapt to ue

[dusk harbor]

Thanks dude, will try it

[spice temple]

It’s absolutely not 🙂 Been developing for 3 years now. Unity 6 is great.

[tall pecan]

Funny that stuff they recomended us to do, causes game to not run LMAO

[stuck condor]

Guys, how's your FPS after patch?

[tawdry spindle]

[wanton coyote]

For anyone else who hasn’t seen the patch notes here it is

[tawdry spindle]

And here we go for patch day.

[dusty pumice]

FPS is basically the same

[covert ocean]

didnt unity want devs to pay per person that plays your game after a certain amount

[brave hawk]

for many, 0 FPS, instant crash after patch 😛

[warped monolith]

once I get some testing done I'll let you know

[digital kernel]

https://tenor.com/view/watching-popcorn-eating-scared-watch-gif-17211195

[stuck condor]

[shadow sphinx]

that's actually brillant. assuming context window of your LLM is big enough, just give it your entire git commit log and tell it to summarize

[dusty pumice]

I haven't seen any differences in FPS

[warped monolith]

that got shut down fast

[honest sparrow]

i dont think he made it to garbage guys..

[tepid cloud]

Any conflicts with the mods after the update?

[thick oasis]

someone asked this earlier and i found the solution on the interwebs

[tall pecan]

hey man remove run as administrator setting in compatibility section

[tropic nymph]

ive tried. ofc

[shadow sphinx]

better question: are there any mods that work after update?

[stuck condor]

You can't see the bugs If you can't play the game!

[young spear]

This worked, thanks!

[spice temple]

That CEO was fired, and Epic now grabs tons more money from devs with release of Fab and introduction of licenses.

[charred tapir]

daylight extension one seems to work fine

[stuck condor]

So no optimization for us

[wary rune]

@obsidian heath

[tepid cloud]

I am playing without updating now just in case

[lone flint]

OH NO UPDATE

[toxic temple]

[drifting mesa]

they seemed to reduce repair cost and condition loss so honestly I'm ok with that

[tall pecan]

IM SAD, IM ECONOMICALLY RUINED

[hardy crystal]

Dvupalov is still bugged FOR FUCK SAKE GSC

[warped monolith]

cheaters get rekt

[thick oasis]

i have just hit the zalissya gigabug so i'm waiting for the patch to work reliably

[brave hawk]

I wander if they fixed the arena exploit
Because i got some good items there 🙂

[drifting mesa]

Quest rewards should have gone up more tho

[wanton coyote]

Make sure to delete your mods/back up files for this patch! Even any engine ini mods and optimization mods until the modders update them if this patch still gives issues!

[versed cloak]

still my 800k are still there

[stuck condor]

Gotta remove lumen myself ig

[unborn stag]

bros... It's so over... I can't scam the traders anymore

[tall pecan]

really?

[amber basin]

patch notes: we fixed some things, you cant know what they are tho

[tall pecan]

Wait they havent fixed the soft lock?

[unborn stag]

I gotta make money the HONEST way.

[lone flint]

what was the scam before the patch

[peak eagle]

Just murder everyone with a decent gun and sell to Ragman

[shadow sphinx]

ahaha confirmed. money glitch fixed

[tall pecan]

you could sell them and buy them cheaper by simple UI bug

[wanton coyote]

Yea that’s kinda dumb they said that

[hardy crystal]

Bro is just sitting here doing nothing

[hard gate]

update bricked my save........lul

[tropic nymph]

yeah this is fucking awkward, so long for that patch and its hasnt done fuck all

[stuck condor]

Maybe it is fixed.. On a new save

[dim phoenix]

sorry for bothering you again but I'm still not finding it, is it per chance red? I am somewhat red-green color blind so that would be funny

[unborn stag]

put item in, right click and hover over "remove," then click off. Drag a stackable item over the interface, manually click "confirm" sale. Receive full price of item.

[honest sparrow]

i think theres any anomaly here guys

[hardy crystal]

If that is the case i'll shoot myself right here and now

[brave hawk]

my issue is that i need a truck to pick up all those half broken m416 to make money.

I pick up 3 and i cant run anymore :\

[regal wagon]

https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1gz52nl/stalker_2_in_search_of_past_glory_workaround/

[tall pecan]

Man i found a weird thing where if you are not standing face to face with some npcs, they dont give you quest options. Like appoaching them from side doesnt work

[stuck condor]

Gotta wait for hot fixes

[toxic temple]

Check your reputation level with scientists. If its red he won’t talk to you

[peak eagle]

like a soft light, the kind when glass sparkle under the sun

[unborn stag]

Also, still not worth repairing and selling weapons, sadly.

[shrewd vapor]

650 changes in 9 days is 80 changes per day ........

[timber crown]

thats manners 2.0 system at work

[lone flint]

the sphere rave feature is gone

[stuck condor]

Most of them change 1 line in code

[peak eagle]

Shame it won't help for me, cause emissions still crash my shit

[tropic nymph]

cant even launch it jesus

[dim phoenix]

I'll spend another hour on it and if i still don't find it I will give up for the day

[peak eagle]

I'll be back to gaming in like 2 weeks then, or till I find some fix on it

[wanton coyote]

Man I’m so far into the main story that 95% of all NPC’s are wearing Exo Suits

[paper plaza]

I'd honestly expect more bugs and problems with a patch with this many changes done so quickly. Though, I'm also willing to bet they already had many of these fixes in the works before the game even launched

[tall pecan]

did you do the fix i told you

[shrewd vapor]

best fix is the one that changes a single character

[hardy crystal]

When the hell did i become a enemy to the scientists??

[elfin stone]

does that mean scaled npcs and loot?

[lone flint]

tbh im seeing fps increases

[wanton coyote]

Yup

[stuck condor]

Which causes a new crash

[elfin stone]

yikes

[stuck condor]

How much?

[brave hawk]

but looks like headshots are still effective, and thats all i do

[wanton coyote]

I wouldn’t say Scaled but yea everyone has better weapons and run exos now

[wanton coyote]

Yea for sure, but still crazy to see anywhere I go everyone has a exo on

[shrewd vapor]

new crashes just means more opportunities for devs to enjoy writing code

[toxic temple]

Basically killing somebody that “friend” with em will make you an enemy. Idk how it works, but it works. I killed some random Varta members and became enemy to scientists too.

[elfin stone]

that's honestly depressing

[dusk harbor]

This update broken my game, when i launch my pc freeze. Like it

[lone flint]

I'm on mid 70's on areas i was mid 60's, Imma go test npc areas now

[silver whale]

That’s a good update

[brave hawk]

they still need god mode to not die to 10 dogs 😛

[hardy crystal]

That is actually cancer wtf?

[frank widget]

Is anyone still using optimization engine.ini mods after the update or are they broken now?

[stuck condor]

It means more fixes, so funs can enjoy more unsolicited "anomalies"

[dusk harbor]

Yeah really good for no play

[shrewd vapor]

do you have "Run as Administrator" enabled? people have been reporting issues with that when it's enabled

[wanton coyote]

Lmfao for real

[hardy crystal]

Shouldn't the story characters be abstained from the faction system????

[dusk harbor]

I moove all my mods/tweaks ,launch vanilla

[tropic nymph]

yes, now i can launch again. i had also applied it to the other .exe (smart guy huh). thanks dec ❤️

[winter talon]

Zalissya fixed in this one?

[wanton coyote]

I thinks so but check the notes

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1643320/view/4455844537830474602

[shrewd vapor]

more "anomalies" just means more ways to become a true stalker

[winter talon]

I read the notes, I wanted to see if anyone had tested it since I didn't see it (I don't really remember the name of the save zalissya quest)

[wanton coyote]

Based

[toxic temple]

It’s stupid as hell, but it is what it is. I just launched a save where I was OK with scientists and redone some things. Also did some quests with em, and everything became fine.

But yes. It’s stoopid

[hardy crystal]

On the plus side i constantly got this blur now so i never run out of stamina

[tacit glacier]

Muh carry weight

[wanton coyote]

Lmfao

[hardy crystal]

WAIT I CAN SEE EVERYTHING BUT MY HEALTH AND STAMINA

[solemn monolith]

Anyone know if the patch breaks mods? I would assume it does based on the size, but if anyone can let me know before i turn my pc on connected to ethernet that would be wonderful

[hollow mirage]

did they fix the mouse aiming ?

[paper plaza]

Yes, patch will break mods

[toxic temple]

Esc doesn’t help?

[wanton coyote]

Yes it does, like 85% of them

[hardy crystal]

Oh it did lmao, was just kind of goofy

[wanton coyote]

Suggest backing up files and remove them

[vivid heath]

found a gauss 😈

[lone flint]

which mods broke

[peak eagle]

Now sell it for cash

[thick oasis]

yes

rule of thumb if it's not an asset swap it's probably broken

[wanton coyote]

All of them tbh

[toxic temple]

Gauss is useless piece of shit :)

like. yes. It’s bad.

[peak eagle]

Just assume every mod you have broke

[hardy crystal]

Pwetty :3

[sinful mantle]

So how does game runs now? Does it actually have better performance on lower tier machines?

[vivid heath]

damn okay will sell lol

[paper dome]

this is more bugfixing than perfomance fixes

[sinful mantle]

I know, but i'm asking about theese performance bugs they have fixed like memory leaks etc they announced

[hardy crystal]

I think they may or may not have brought down the stamina drain because now you can seemingly run forever

[vivid heath]

bro I hate that I have to have skif's pistol in my inventory

[cinder jungle]

game seems to run better for me now but that may just be copium from not being in lagstok

[late kernel]

You have to because he uses it in every cutscene where he holds a pistol

[obsidian turret]

Did they make it cost money to repair, cuz I swear it wasn’t like that before

[stoic lichen]

Hey Ramon? Are you gonna rebalance the mod pack for the new patch or has that already been done?

[hardy crystal]

And not like bugged kind of run forever

[vivid heath]

yeah I know, just annoying

[paper dome]

which is super dumb

[uncut pond]

Hi guys! Is mutant loot compatible with Grocks complications?

[spice temple]

Of course, once there will be electricity.

[vivid heath]

it costs money yes, but not much

[quasi hedge]

So what’s the deal ? Should we remove all mods for the time being if we wanna play ?

[fading fractal]

Same does ma heading

[stoic lichen]

Damn bro, you got a power outage?

[random anvil]

South Africa load shedding?

[fading fractal]

I wish they didn’t script the gun to cutscenes 😭😭

[spice temple]

Every day, for about 8-12 hours. Rockets, drones, things are tough.

[versed cloak]

the gun is actually good

[bronze tusk]

you mean the almighty 9x18 makarov stopping exo suits? 🙂

[mental vessel]

Brother, wherever you are, stay safe

[stoic lichen]

Oh, I didn't know! Sorry man, I really pray and hope you're okay out there.

[lone flint]

ledge climb, stam usage reduction and stam increase, technician uncapped upgrade mod those work for me, other than that i only have the mutant health rebalance and 2x day

[fading fractal]

Not saying it’s shit, just wanna use something different but all’s gotta carry that shit around me you know

[vivid heath]

it is but I wanna use other guns. USP my beloved

[toxic temple]

[fading fractal]

WAIT what it does that 🤣🤣🤣

[fading fractal]

Bruh ain’t no way

[honest sparrow]

guys where can i sell artifacts for the most

[fervent ridge]

guys where do you buy hollow point ammo?

[versed cloak]

then use it, who needs a high impact weapon when u got the vibes 😎

[bronze tusk]

not 1 tapping..... but yeah i think you could easily play the whole game with only skifs pew pew

[fading fractal]

They are set price for everyone

[peak eagle]

Medics tend to pay the most

[honest sparrow]

you think the medic in zalissya will pay good?

[fading fractal]

I swear they are same price for everyone

[blissful nebula]

Then again you probably don't go to medics to sell

[peak eagle]

Sure, but you should check the other merchants if you have good rep just incase

[honest sparrow]

you think rostok would be a good choice?

[lone flint]

yeah man for the first few hours after i got the silencer it felt like playing with that one fallout 4 deliverer pistol

[peak eagle]

as fine a place as any

[blissful nebula]

I feel like I should remove the silencer just cause I legit can't see what I'm aiming at with it lmao

[fading fractal]

Probably, I have hella mods to fix the game and make it more fun so ma prices aren’t vanilla

[winter talon]

Medics and weapons traders pay the same rate for everything I checked, barmen pay you less though

[fading fractal]

That’s what I thought

[honest sparrow]

im a good guy

[fervent ridge]

for the love of god where do you get hollow point ammo

[blissful nebula]

Is Beard considered a barman?

[fading fractal]

Cause every trader has it set for 7.5k

[spice temple]

Reputation also plays a role in prices. Freindly factions pay more.

[hollow mirage]

you mean notch?

[fading fractal]

You gotta find it, i never managed to get HP from traders

[fervent ridge]

shit ass game

[fading fractal]

Ah i see

[queen zealot]

do some mutants reqire AP ammo instead of hp ?

[fading fractal]

Use AP anyway, it’s way better

[honest sparrow]

man these prices are dogshit
7k for a 20k artifact

[lone flint]

hollow point for what

[fading fractal]

It sherds them

[bronze tusk]

Yeah i mean its kind of weird. Im not against it beeing there just weird how they used the gun in every cutscene instead of the one your actually holding or using as a pistol. Just weird. I dunno

[slow whale]

mine still works
i imagine the bigger optimization mods that changed a lot are gonna be broken tho

[fading fractal]

I don’t know about HP

[spice temple]

Engine.ini are safe to use and do not need to be updated.

[shadow sphinx]

wait uh, I made a backup of my pre-patch ~mods but I forgot to DELEET them, and the game launched fine.. I guess I only used compatiable ones?

[dusk harbor]

He could have added the mutant loot mod in the vanilla games with this update

[frail salmon]

I HATE THE EYE ADAPTATION I CANNOT SEE ENEMIES THEY BLEND INTO SHADOWS

[tall pecan]

How do you get to area underground the bridge in Cordon?

[hardy crystal]

OH MY GOD THAT CAKE!!

[lone flint]

I've been here for 20 minutes and haven't heard which exact mods are not working.

[spice temple]

Yo, are there any mods here, can I get a modder tag by any chance? 🙂

[drifting light]

Yummy!

[fading fractal]

man i am confused, found a exo suit, I CAN'T FUKING RUN IN IT

[stoic lichen]

GYATT

[tacit glacier]

Disclaimer

Don't stand next to windows

[lone flint]

that comes at a price

[tall pecan]

i swear half of the deaths i had happened because of fall damage

[kind trout]

Maybe this question has been asked already 100x. With the new patch coming, will there be a possible corruption of my save? Should I remove all mod pak files, update, then run my game?
