based where?

[sour narwhal]

Does duty have an actual proper base or are they about as nomadic as the bandits are at this point?

[hollow mirage]

in tha zone

[wise zinc]

sparkers be like

[sour narwhal]

Actually honestly I think the bandits are probably less nomadic than they are. Idk the only time I ever see Duty is when they're wandering in a squad

[golden hazel]

Theyre bandits now

[warped monolith]

dewty

[ancient oar]

I wanna put my PM where the zone doesn't shine if you catch my drift

[sour narwhal]

Duty seems to be yet anothe cautionary tale in a line of cautionary tales where if you're going to take the zone head-on, as opposed to simply co-existing with it, you're probably gonna have a bad time i thinks

[main lagoon]

Make sure you use protection, and if you need some extra help, here's a box of PP+ in case you need it

[wise zinc]

find a video damn 😭
2 hours on the home page

[dusty delta]

Are there any hud settings I need to keep on that would be annoying to play without

[sour narwhal]

Lmao the rich presence is sort of glitched up

Happens when I have the window minimized ;<

all of them imo. you can reduce the hud opacity

[wise zinc]

DISCORD LOAD THE FUCKING GIF I HAVE A PERFECT REACTION GIF
ITS THE THIRD GIF WHY ARE YOU LOADING THE 4TH BEFORE IT

[dusty delta]

But I mean things like the quick access and mission notifications I don't need to show up - would it be a pain to not have ammo counter I'm wondering because of fire mode mostly

[dusty delta]

There's a hit indicator as part of hud?

[wise zinc]

blood splatter direction on the ui points to where u got hit

[golden hazel]

No Morbius, this calls for the Texan

[dusty delta]

Oh like getting hit not hitting someone

i assume this is funny but discord isnt loading it

Oh great heavens…

my fan wants to kill me

[sour narwhal]

Grenades on the ground interact weird in this game, as do other explosives

I just tossed a grenade down off of a roof and when it went off it sent something smoke-trailing away from it that immediately blew up on a tree

[karmic harbor]

you guys know by any chance if Kireinas Zone Enhanced is compatible with A-Life extended?

[gray aspen]

so whats up with the monoliths?|| before they got converted again from noontide, they were like stupid susceptible to psi radiation, now they can stand next to the sphere emitter with no repercussions?||

[floral venture]

||when they are back under control they get all the mono enhancements again, at their bases etc||

[gray aspen]

gets hella annoying tho when im fighting off psi tick damage, the hallucinations, and pack of monolithians who have unlimited ammo and nades at their disposal

[golden hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-stalker-clear-sky-clear-sky-monolith-monolith-exo-gif-13594799489985857333

[gray aspen]

i feel like the damage you take from the hallucinated like shooters and animals should go away along with the psi emission, cuz like how am i bleeding and dying from an imaginary bullet from an imaginary bandit who disintegrated into blue dust after i "killed" him

[royal mural]

i hate it when games give you stuff you cant use in a normal playthough
Spoiler! ||https://i.imgur.com/CUTAHFI.png||

[sturdy meteor]

no containers?

[royal mural]

its literally the one ||he wears in all cutscenes||

[golden hazel]

Yes containers but also no

[sturdy meteor]

nvm i looked at it wrong

[royal mural]

[hollow mirage]

i didnt even equipped this i just went with my exo

[sturdy meteor]

yeah. i looked at the bottom, not the top icon

[royal mural]

im a based non exo user

[hollow mirage]

i wanted to test all stuff in stalker 2 so i went with all of it

[sturdy meteor]

can exos get sprint or that can't?

[royal mural]

literally last mission
with my fav kit|| https://i.imgur.com/p4qFg7B.png||

[hollow mirage]

need upgrade it

[golden hazel]

They can get sprint but theres one that cant

[royal mural]

yes some can if upgraded

[sturdy meteor]

ill be holding off a while till i can use one then

couple stashes in hard to reach spots been killing me

[karmic harbor]

you guys know by any chance if Kireinas Zone Enhanced is compatible with A-Life extended?

[sturdy meteor]

probably not, will need to merge the cfg files in the paks to make it work

[karmic harbor]

well that is to much work for me xD I will see which I like better

[gray aspen]

how do i get into the ward station after zalassia is attacked by the monolith?

i wanna help but the door to get to everyone inisde is locked

[sturdy meteor]

get this and install on a folder on the D drive (cause windows flips its shit when this is on the c drive)
get Notepad++ and install it, open notepad and click plugins and add the Compair plugin.
extract the mods by draging them onto the paktool and then open the cfg files in notepad++ and use compair.
make the lines from one the same as the other and do it for all files included.
when done then pack them by draging the folder with the edited files onto the paktool and then drop the new .pak file into your mods folder.

its like opening archive files, making changes, edits and adjustments to them and repacking them again.

time wasted is rewarding to someone else

[wary orbit]

ur right i am sorry, continue

[gray aspen]

how do i help gaffar fight off the monolithians in zalassia

[sturdy meteor]

no, thats it. thats all the info they need to make their own merge between mods and conflicts. may help them tidy up their mod folder if they put effort into it

[gray aspen]

gotta love that i just cant do the side quest to help zalassia after the monolithians cuz the door is bugged

[cobalt harbor]

Does anyone know the file path to the fsr 3 frame gen dll so I can update it? Me and many other people on 40 series gpus are unable to use it because of a bug.

[zealous obsidian]

sniping in this game is so stupid, what is this bullet drop

[main lagoon]

Get flat ammo, upgrade for flatness

[warped monolith]

the zone has stronger gravity than the rest of the world, that's why falling damage is wack

[zealous obsidian]

sounds like a no gameplay thing for me then

[sturdy meteor]

steamapps\common\STALKER2HeartofChornobyl\Stalker2\Binaries\Win64

[zealous obsidian]

if a SVD needs the upgrade, LUL nope

[main lagoon]

There's a lot of solutions mate

[cobalt harbor]

Would it be "amd_fidelityfx_dx12.dll" ?

[zealous obsidian]

the solution is to say no. stupid mechanic that you can not hit the target @150meters because of the ridiculous drop. IF I would see the hit I would adjust but this is not even possible.

but hey you get whaked with ak74u , yeah man

[sturdy meteor]

yes. the _vk is for vulkan

[main lagoon]

You're just looking for something to complain about, at times they need to sacrifice realism for gameplay, and as part of gameplay they gave you numerous options to solve the issue

[cobalt harbor]

I thought the game could only run on dx12 api?

[pliant sigil]

Just got to the Ward camp in ||Pripyat|| and wow, they really aren't doing so hot.

[sturdy meteor]

it can, the vulkan is an emulation

[zealous obsidian]

gameplay wise the solution is not to snipe and get close. flat ammo is funny if you dunno where you get that so yeah nope man. like I said the heck 150meter with a SVD

[main lagoon]

And I'll tell you, I'm using a VSS - which uses a subsonic bullet, and I'm having no problem hitting headshots
Why?
Because I upgraded the gun's flatness, and I use flat ammo for longer shots
If you can't hit them with a supersonic sniper, it's because you're purposefully not engaging with the game and figuring out solutions to the problem, using the tools it gives you

[cobalt harbor]

Also if you're curious, here is the issue I'm talking about and experiencing
https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1gwqc25/fsr_3_frame_generation_does_not_work_stalker_2/?sort=new

[warped monolith]

I thought this game didn't spawn enemies longer than 30m?

[wary orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/reaction-my-eyes-cant-unsee-burn-gif-7225082

[sturdy meteor]

use this https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/27?tab=description

[cobalt harbor]

Tried that and it just crashes my game sadly

[sturdy meteor]

when compiling shaders or ingame itself?

[cobalt harbor]

In game when enabling frame gen through the optiscaler ui

Ill try it again

[sturdy meteor]

if its not working, open amd adrenaline and turn off all features for stalker (update it too if you haven't), remove the files in the x64 folder and revalidate it in steam and open the game, in its settings, try using these for upscale and see if it helps without these files. this eliminated my ghosting by a lot (RT7900XT 20gb)

[royal mural]

does that mod fix how shitty fsr looks?

[cobalt harbor]

I'm on 4080 but I'll try those in game settings

[sturdy meteor]

fsr will look shitty under 4k unfortunately but the ghosting is the worst then some antialiasing issues or some ugly lod lost to upscale

4080? why are you looking up fsr, isn't dlss more better or is it about on par?

[zealous obsidian]

I really dont agree, if the g36 can do the same default. something is broken. Dosent matter if you get other ammo or upgrades. IF a weapon that is made for LR got the same default range as an AR or g36. those also have the upgrade path. makes no sense to pick the SVD at all

[cobalt harbor]

fsr frame gen performs better than dlss frame gen and dlss fg is tied to some vram/frametime issues

[royal mural]

dude bulled drop in this game is like airsoft

[lethal breach]

So im doing visions of truth ||aka ward invades malachite||, it seems bugged and ||killing the ward gives negative rep with malachite|| anyone know how to fix your relation with the scientist after?

[zealous obsidian]

I know it is stupid. I can not even see where my bullets drop

[high forge]

that's intended

[royal mural]

scientists are allied with ward

[lethal breach]

Ah okay, pretty dumd cause you are more or less forced to kill em

[sturdy meteor]

ahh ok, yeah fsr may help, these files are more of a fsr update but the ones in the base game should work well with minor quality loss. i do recommend setting vsync on cause tearing makes fsr worse, also disable motion blur too, it makes everything more motionsick

[lethal breach]

So any way to repair relations with them after?

[royal mural]

just wait

[sturdy meteor]

leave, come back later and pay their boss, look for their markers, if its red then its hostile but if they are orange then they can agree to a bribe

[golden hazel]

sussy bakas

[sturdy meteor]

the scientest hate me at malacite cause i killed duty members.. no idea whats up their asses

[royal mural]

i dont know whats up your ass killing duty smh

I like ward tho tbh

SKEEFA THE WARD IMPOUNDED MY VINTAR WE NEED TO BLOW UP MALACHITE

[grave oar]

I LOVE HOW HE SAYS SKIFA

[sturdy meteor]

thought the ward was cool in the start till they weren't

[royal mural]

the ward are the new shitheads what the military was back then ward sucks

[grave oar]

theyve been cool to me all game except that one time I haulicinated and thought they betrayed me

theyre loyal as fuck, I figured it makes sense since Skif is ex military.

[sturdy meteor]

i have not seen baldy since the monolith activation. hope his not dead

[grave oar]

Once a soldier always a soldier

[royal mural]

i would be nice to my tool too so it stays loyal

[grave oar]

i think if Skif was an npc he'd side with ward due to his past

[livid frost]

top 5 guns in the zone

[royal mural]

hes fucking angry that his house got destroyed i dont think that

[grave oar]

skif came to the zone to get his home back

[sturdy meteor]

m701 is punching through armor. also fresh outta .307

[royal mural]

exactly a mf who would bring anarchy so he can get his washing machine back

[main lagoon]

I'm pretty sure the SVD does have longer range though, even by base, so I don't see your point?

[grave oar]

nah hes ex military

[royal mural]

i know that lol

[sturdy meteor]

skif bitching about his house, its a fucking appartment in the projects. its fucked either way

[golden hazel]

Skifs gonna wish on the granter for his own personal high rise

[grave oar]

bro ive been running around pripyat with the integral-A and my rhino just fine

[main lagoon]

Issue is he went to war for that crappy apartment, he'd rightly feel like he deserves it

[grave oar]

he should just wish for more wishes

[warped monolith]

I was looking at this site for an “Active Shooter” admin patch to put on my plate carrier and I learned that they sell patches for all of the stalker factions, very cool! kommandostore.com

[wanton arch]

So none of the A Life mods are good enough

[royal mural]

no

[wanton arch]

😭

[royal mural]

[rose venture]

I’ve been using A-Life extended and it’s okay, sometimes hole groups of enemies will spawn right behind me though

[wanton arch]

I just want gamma with better graphics

[rose venture]

monolith patch sold out

[royal mural]

then you have to wait for literally 5 7 years

[rose venture]

I need to play Stalker Gamma to know what im missing

[wanton arch]

5 months maybe

Gamma is peak

[royal mural]

are you kidding look how long it took gamma to be where it is now

[wanton arch]

All S2 has is graphics + better map

That’s cus grok is underpayed

[royal mural]

s2 will not be gamma in 5 months are you dreaming of hot ice lollipops?

[rose venture]

Yeah but it won’t take 5-7 years to come out initially. The dev kit needs to be released before any real mods can be made though. I say a year or two and maybe we got Gamma 2 in a really nice state

[wanton arch]

A man can dream

[royal mural]

i hope so

gamma is too good how it is rn s2 will surely take some time to even be near that

[rose venture]

Also depends on if Grok even wants to work on stalker 2, UE5 might be a bitch to work with idk

[royal mural]

i mean tbh if he wants he could i dont think the xray engine back then was way easier than ue is but i have no idea

hes the genius not me xD

let me help you : can you guys imagine if 5.56 really dropped 0,9144 m every hundred meters

Still trying to figure this one out lmao. Can't find anywhere it doesn't make any sense as far as the structure goes. But I'm a fool, so hoping someone here can recognize the issue 😄

[toxic veldt]

just installed Better Ballistics V1.3, works real nice. Bandits will fuck you up though

[high forge]

same

[royal mural]

not even right does this sentence make sense. that sentence is worse than british food my dude

[wanton arch]

You need a combat mod. The game is just too easy

[toxic veldt]

"can you imagine if 5.56 dropped 9.14 metres every hundred metres" sounds dumb. Using both systems in the same sentence is possible

[gray eagle]

better ballistics does both

[royal mural]

no its should be:
can you imagine if 5.56 dropped 1 meters in height every hundred meters

[toxic veldt]

americans refer to their heights in feet but distances in metres, most people do.

[wanton arch]

Fuck we do

[royal mural]

you cant be serious rn

[toxic veldt]

1 metres? why would it still be plural

[toxic veldt]

I thought you did, sounds dumb saying "I am exactly 181.23cm tall"

[wanton arch]

I’m kidding you’re right, anything under a mile we refer to in meters unless it’s half a mile

[royal mural]

dude you are sus

[wanton arch]

I weigh 10 stones 🤓

[toxic veldt]

you're just being anal about using specific measurement devices when it doesn't really matter

[white moat]

I have never met an American who measures distance by meters

[royal mural]

The entire military and police force

[white moat]

only yards or dare I say… football fields

[toxic veldt]

True, they use bald eagles and football fields

[vast sluice]

https://tenor.com/view/rocks-rock-beach-beachrocks-background-gif-25889726

[wanton arch]

The only time we measure in yards is during sports

[toxic veldt]

or "about 26 mes stacked on top of each other"

[royal mural]

you are the example of dont throw rocks if you sit in a glasshouse

[toxic veldt]

I do not care by which metric people measure distance, height, length or width, my good man, as long as it's accurate

[vast sluice]

football field is exactly 100 yards babyeee

[royal mural]

no you dont get it that wasnt my point i was making a joke about feet and meters

[royal mural]

https://tenor.com/view/viralhog-gun-fire-murica-flag-america-gif-12183553

[vast sluice]

true but the issue is when 2 countries work together on something and get measurement conversions wrong

[toxic veldt]

I thought footie pitches were between 90 and 130 yards. Unless you're talking about american rugby

[wanton arch]

We usually just use metric when we work with other countries. Because most Americans know imperial and metric while other country’s only know metric

[toxic veldt]

Britain would like a word.

Short distances are measured in metres, we use Kilograms for all small weights, but when referring to people's weight we use imperial and metric interchangably and long distances are measured in miles instead of kilometres

[royal mural]

cause learning imperial is kinda useless exept you have to work with usa

[vast sluice]

https://spacemath.gsfc.nasa.gov/weekly/6Page53.pdf some famous unit conversion errors

[toxic veldt]

Is it true most americans don't know how to use 24 hour time?

[royal mural]

that cant be true

[toxic veldt]

I heard that somewhere, you guys just use AM and PM to distinguish times and call the 24 hour clock "Military Time"

If that's true that is mind blowing

[royal mural]

im not american idk

[royal mural]

i cant belive it is tho

[novel palm]

We use 12 hour time but yes we know how 24 hour time works.

[toxic veldt]

Thank you American, very helpful

[novel palm]

We also do refer to 24 hour time as "Military time" because the US military uses it as standard practice.

[wanton arch]

Miles are better than kilometers, pounds are better than kilograms, Celsius is straight up stupid

[toxic veldt]

another question: why do you guys write the date so weirdly

[novel palm]

Dunno.

[royal mural]

https://tenor.com/view/laugh-throw-head-back-in-laughter-george-jungle-gif-11218689

But meters are better than feet/yards

I am now doing the Down Below mission near the end. All I can say is, I have a fully upgraded Texan Ram-2, 100 buckshot shells, 50 slugs. I'm not locked in here with you, you're locked in here with me.

[royal mural]

yea sure thats why you went to the moon with metric and not imperial damn i want to smoke what youre smoking

[toxic veldt]

0 = freezing point of water, 100 = boiling point of water.

Simple as fuck

what are those in farenheit? nobody keeps track because it's stupid and it's a stupid measurement. 100 degrees outside should mean you are boiling alive, not "pretty hot"

[white moat]

how do you write yours again?

[wanton arch]

All government agencies use metric

[royal mural]

i wonder why

[wanton arch]

It’s universal

[toxic veldt]

Day/Month/Year, in order.

Why does it have to be Month/Day/Year for you

[wanton arch]

I do year month day

[royal mural]

even year/month/day is ok

[toxic veldt]

You are backwards. Literally.

[toxic veldt]

no.

[wanton arch]

You can blame the government cus that’s the format for official stuff

[royal mural]

that is for some cases needed cause sorted by year ofc it is

[toxic veldt]

The American government ruins America again. You guys need a new one.

[clever sigil]

YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss

fair trade deal in my honest opinion.

somehow i forgot i bought it on launch but it was kind of touchy and laggy while the opening cutscene would just pause but i do have crappy ram everything else meets recommended is this a pc or game problem?

[frozen finch]

Long story short, I have a "Longer Days" mod which I have confirmed works when I load it by itself, but when I use the merge tool I can confirm it is not working. This is leading me to believe that none of the other mods in the merge are working either.

[wanton arch]

Just don’t merge it?

[livid frost]

Despite all that I'm 114h in and loving it

[golden hazel]

It's a true Stalker experience

[royal mural]

you can try before merging putting more z's infront of longer days so its lower than the mod that it merges with

[frozen finch]

maybe I should say it this way. Once mod merging is complete, what should the end state look like? Am I supposed to have a zzzzzzzz_MERGED_MOD.pak in my ~mods folder?

[royal mural]

yes and the original mods aswell

[frozen finch]

And as far as i can tell, all of my original mods within ~mods are in seperate sub folders, however the merged.pak is standalone?

[royal mural]

wait why are your paks in folders?

came across some monolith and got into a firefight, one left standing and i unloaded a lot of ammo into him and his still standing but he's stopped shooting at me. we called it a draw and i left him alone after looting his friends

[stoic lichen]

Imagine the monolith getting their ass kicked by a guy with a widow’s peak of a hairline.

[golden hazel]

Calling it a window's peak is generous

[stoic lichen]

I meant widows peak.

[shadow sedge]

its more like avatar the last hair follicle

[golden hazel]

Even for the wish granter it was far beyond its power

[shadow sedge]

rip i have 32gb of ram i cant wait to suffer with u

[stray tangle]

any ideas on how to fix it? I know STALKER 2 isn't exactly stable yet lol

[golden hazel]

Memory leaks need to be fixed by the devs

Been here for 2 years and still can’t talk in the stalker chat 😭😭

I was here before they added the level system dawg

[royal mural]

but you didnt write much dawg

[wanton arch]

I do in the general chat

It’s cus I talk a lot in the EFP server

[golden hazel]

[royal mural]

when i rejoined the server in may 2023 they already had this rank system i dont know you know what youre talking about i dont write much and im still on a level DAWG

[royal mural]

🍿 🫲

[royal mural]

maybe it gets the same weirdness jon had

[simple berry]

why do i lose scientist rep when i kill ward guys?

[golden hazel]

Ward are their bodyguards

[royal mural]

cause eggheads and ward allies

[stray tangle]

Is there even a way to check rep in 2/

[simple berry]

[wanton arch]

Yeah I joined in 22

[simple berry]

no but the game eventually tells you some dumb shit like "scientist think youre the bogeyman"

[royal mural]

@golden hazel this is my prototype

[pliant sigil]

Beat the game for the Ward ending. TL;DR: ||More railgun-wielding monolith than was necessary, needed, wanted, or warranted.||

[royal mural]

so you actually not active at all

[golden hazel]

[simple berry]

so what i cant progress the fucking story without pissing off the eggheads btw?

[royal mural]

i did the skif ending its not better ||expecially 3 bossfights||

[wanton arch]

How active can you be for one game unless it’s like your main game

[pliant sigil]

||Granite|| Squad should have remained buried. That shit is the real danger of the zone.

[simple berry]

@royal mural can i seriously not avoid pissing off the eggheads when im doing the toposphere quest?

[royal mural]

then dont wave around like its an achievement being here long what ever doesnt matter i guess

[wanton arch]

You the first one to bring up achievement

[royal mural]

everytime you kill or even damage ward you piss them off but its only temporary dont worry

[simple berry]

also lmao i like 1-3 shot a guy in full ward exo with a knife

[wanton arch]

I just wanna talk with the uncs

[simple berry]

oh okay

hehe ez , also stealth kills dont count for this btw i tried

[pliant sigil]

I like how you're forced to blast a bunch of Ward even when siding with the Ward

[royal mural]

thats how shit ward is

[golden hazel]

True

[wanton arch]

A loner picks no sides

[golden hazel]

A renegade kills all sides

[wanton arch]

Loaners are bandits with extra steps

[warped monolith]

someone said they did count

[royal mural]

after finishing the game im so glad i didnt side with certain people

[wanton arch]

I side with mercs

[mossy jasper]

Dying painfully

[pliant sigil]

Picking no sides means picking Strelok’s side. I can’t do that because I must KILL STRELOK

[simple berry]

nah i tried it before didnt give it to me

[royal mural]

https://tenor.com/view/lielielie-liar-liar-lies-lying-gif-7635594376705111770

[golden hazel]

Even in my 1st run I didn't show the pda to Ward

[craggy narwhal]

guys can i get a lore recap

[golden hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-stalker2-explaining-gif-25555840

[craggy narwhal]

not really gonna play the game right now, but what makes the monolith hostile again? what signal do we or someone activate

[golden hazel]

Lebedev comes back to life and activates a 2nd brain scorcher and brings the monolith back and Strelok's hairline escapes to tarkov

[pliant sigil]

Lore recap is that C-Consciousness was literally the worst and their deaths were far too quick

[royal mural]

ahh thats what you mean yea the signal "reconnects" them to the rock since sircca was so smart keeping it

[golden hazel]

Also Scar does 3 tons of crack

[craggy narwhal]

i mean specifically what makes the monolith become the monolith again and not just some mindwiped poor people

[craggy narwhal]

truly lost his head to this cause (and cocaine)

[golden hazel]

Lamp

[royal mural]

i mean thats literally what monoliths are

[craggy narwhal]

and what cripples korshunov and gives him scars

[royal mural]

https://tenor.com/view/ubeemoth-gif-5563969062687419651

[golden hazel]

He tried to raid one of Scar's crack dens

[craggy narwhal]

[mossy jasper]

I'm in the arena the pistol is banned

[royal mural]

then id recommend hitting more shots

[wind stag]

Is frame gen still bugged in stalker 2?

[royal mural]

bugged how?

[mossy jasper]

It's literally tanking all my bullets

[wind stag]

I enabled it, looks fine, up to 70fps, then i die, reload and boom 10 fps.

[royal mural]

ask @golden hazel we had that same discussion yesterday

[golden hazel]

That's not a framegen thing that's a game thing

[pliant sigil]

Now that I’ve beaten the game legitimately, it’s time to assume my final form and beat it with three Rhinos. Yeehaw chucklefucks

[stable quarry]

Grom S-14 and an extended mag for it under a pier right where i am north of the Bloodsucker Village

[pliant sigil]

Skif (Revolver Ocelot)

[wind stag]

Ummm, actually might be true, tried lossless scaling (the gigaduck) to framegen instead and it also lagged like crazy.

DEADLY MUTANTS MEANTIONED

[pliant sigil]

I once ran into three pseudogiants in Duga

[mossy jasper]

I can't believe this arena is worse than the gama one where every mutant fighter and human fighter just oneshot you instantly

[royal mural]

i once ran into a pseudogiant in my livingroom on a monday when going to work was a hard fight till i realised my mother in law was visiting

[stable quarry]

there is a safe in the military tunnels (mouse cursor is over the entrance) with the blueprint for the Protective Coating Exoskeleton upgrade, there is also a dead stalker with an artifact in his hand just a little ways away from the stash

[royal mural]

are you doing a best locations guide?

youre going around alot

@golden hazel btw i really like that they included MR.BONES ||https://i.imgur.com/Nae7Bwp.png||

[pliant sigil]

Why can’t I eat the altered toast

All this running around and fighting had made Skif hungry

[golden hazel]

Ye

[robust current]

When you complete Stalker 2 main story, can you just continue playing freely?

[golden hazel]

No

[royal mural]

no

[robust current]

Ahh okay)

[royal mural]

(:

[pliant sigil]

Make a hard save when you get the mission called Down Below.

That’s basically the cutoff point.

[robust current]

Thankyou!

[royal mural]

https://i.imgur.com/7EpUmam.png https://i.imgur.com/iU3ewxD.png

[pliant sigil]

Speaking of the ending, I appreciate the devs continuing their tradition of making the ending sequence of every Stalker game absolute ass to play through.

[golden hazel]

They really made a sequel to the original trilogy

[royal mural]

and im happy about it

[golden hazel]

The tacticool mind cannot comprehend Slavjank

[royal mural]

like streloks head cant comprehend his hair

[golden hazel]

[simple berry]

okay so it just gets removed from your inventory when you get "the boundry"

[royal mural]

[royal mural]

i mean it always was

[golden hazel]

It really always was

[simple berry]

i like how that was the first piece of stalker 2 we ever saw, i remember like it was yesterday (5 years ago)

[golden hazel]

Wasn't it in Borov's office or something in SoC of Chernobyl

[royal mural]

btw i forgot to say skifs enging might be the most poetic one it the game starts ||like roadside picnic and it ends like roadside picnic||

[royal mural]

i hate you its like saying oh yea the 90s 10 years ago

90s where 30 years ago

[livid frost]

80 hours and i have not beat the game once am i cooked?

[royal mural]

no i needed exactly 99 and i didnt do everything

[royal mural]

https://i.imgur.com/1W1JdQI.png

[livid frost]

that is crazy, very good game

[royal mural]

its was the worst out of all the 3

[livid frost]

maybe so but s2 is epic

no faction wars is still a huge let down, and the fact that game isnt finished as well

[proud ruin]

Truly continuing the legacy of the originals

[proud ruin]

I wish stalker 2 had a 200iq required skill check to get out of lesser zone

[royal mural]

why, do you want to stay in the lesser zone?

[golden hazel]

99.9% would be stuck

“Why is this game so hard!!!1!1!1!”

[steady swan]

hey im trying to upgrade my armor but its saying the tech cant, but not giving a reason. what am i missing? its condition is 89% so i doubt thats the issue

[royal mural]

and then just for shits and giggles make it harder

[royal mural]

hes just not good enough of a tech to do it

[proud ruin]

Some techs just can’t upgrade certain things because they have a skill issue

[royal mural]

best for armor is rostok and mommy harpy in yaniv

What anomaly does this to a mf?

[proud ruin]

PDA message be like “I’ll be able to retire with this stash!”

[stable quarry]

i just killed faust now he wants me to meet him at x-17

[stoic lichen]

Really ruins the specialty of exo skeletons.

Now that EVERYONE has them when you progress the story far enough.

[stable quarry]

you can reach that point in Gamma too

at least last time i played

[proud ruin]

literally unplayable

[keen acorn]

Weekly check, they fix A life yet?

[proud ruin]

No

[stable quarry]

everytime someone asks about A-Life it gets pushed back a single day, we are currently expecting it in 2077

[keen acorn]

Another week down without buying it again I guess

[hushed garden]

It ain't broken

[stoic lichen]

Sounds funny.

[keen acorn]

I guess "being broken" and "not existing at all" are technically two different things

And I'm leaning towards the latter by now

[proud ruin]

[hushed garden]

I was skeptical about playing without A-life but NGL I'm enjoying it so far and I'm 38 hours in

[stoic lichen]

It does exist. It’s just very buggy atm.

[keen acorn]

There has not been a single shred of proof that it exists in any cpacity. Every bit of diggin I'VE seen at least, show that enemies just spawn in a radius around the player completely scripted

[stoic lichen]

Check the pins

[keen acorn]

It's a matter of principle at this point. Sick and tired of devs just backtracking everything and still kicking the game out the door. A life 2.0 was like, one of their main advertising points lol

[stoic lichen]

Poutine, just check the pins.

[keen acorn]

This ign article literally doesn't say anything new lol. The people playing the game say it doesn't exist, the devs SWEAR it exists but it's just super bugged. All the proof (as in, how the game visibly fuctions) points towards it not existing at all

[stable quarry]

then leave the channel

whinging to us about it isn't going to change anything, go whinge to the devs in the official discord

[stoic lichen]

And I’m tried of people giving shit to the devs. Game developers are already getting enough shit with the amount of layoffs due to corporate tomfuckery. If you wanna be upset, be upset at the top suits who keep doing this shit.

[stable quarry]

i'd be less concerned about GSC, an independently owned company, doing layoffs and more concerned annoyed about the fact that yes clearly the game was made to have some compromises cause it had to be on cucksoles

[keen acorn]

The devs are the one going on panels and lying to people lol. Yeah corporate assholes are assholes, nothing new. But they're not innocent bystanders when they're the ones just lying to our face

[stoic lichen]

All I’m saying is that fuck investors man…

[stoic lichen]

I mean, yeah. But at this point, who gives a fuck?

[keen acorn]

People who want what they were advertised for their product? Idk

[wraith lark]

Could someone point me in the direction of how to put stalker 2 mods in a certain load order?

[keen acorn]

try the stalker 2 mod channel. Just below this one

[wraith lark]

Will do, thanks

[stable quarry]

i believe the load order for the ~mods folder is based on alphabetical order, so add more z's to the front to get shit in a specific spot

[stoic lichen]

Fair enough Poutine, but we’ve been through this song and dance multiple goddamn times. What purpose do you get for repeating the same points we’ve heard MULTIPLE times at this point?

[wraith lark]

Ohhh i see

[stable quarry]

he gets to whinge and spread his misery

[golden hazel]

Holy shit is that a Misery reference

[stable quarry]

Misery is a life reference.

[stoic lichen]

They lied! They didn’t do this! They didn’t do that! Blah! Blah! Blah!

Like we GET IT! Move on! Please!

[golden hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-gif-22322541

[keen acorn]

Mf I asked if they added it to the game yet, not my fault there's a million mfs like you who'll defend gsc to the death going "ITS IN THE GAME GUYS I SWEAR!!! IT'S NOT MISSING IT JUST DOESN'T WORK AT ALL THAT'S TOTALLY DIFFERENT"

[stoic lichen]

Okay, so now you’re making that notion to make me look like I’m the fucking dumbass.

And then there’s people like you who will gladly spew misinformation that’s completely nonsensical, when we have literal proof otherwise!

Sorry, that people don’t wanna hear a bitch in ya ear keep bitchin.

Anyways, let’s please talk about anything else.
