You’re supposed to go to the palace of culture first

[floral venture]

i seemingly had to run back to the marker to get mono to start spawning/the story to progress

[proud ruin]

||you have to defend palace of culture from monolith then talk to deg for story to progress||

[sleek laurel]

Brurer down, had to get creative

I wish there was any incentive at all for killing mutants besides self defense or for quest objectives

[floral venture]

||yeah i had gotten to the palace without any mono spawning and was just hanging out wondering what they were talking about XD||

i love stalker 2 so far after 80+ hours of play, but my main "impression" that i'm left with aside from overall positive things is that there's SO MUCH untapped potential. like not even necessarily "GSC dropped the ball and didn't finish the game" but just the world they created is so huge and fun to explore, but it doesn't take long before you find your 85 billionth box of 9mm and bottle of vodka that you realize it's really just window dressing for the main and side quests. could be expanded upon in terms of sandbox gameplay in SO many ways for endless replayability

[golden hazel]

[true yew]

Does anyone know what these blue things on upgrades?

[golden hazel]

It means you need to find the usb drive for that upgrade

[cunning shuttle]

on locked upgrades? yeah you need to find the usb drives specific to that upgrade

irritatingly when you find them, you have no idea what item it was for :p

[true yew]

Thanks

[stoic lichen]

Yeah, with the loot pool being non-existent. Some stashes are just repetitive with a minor select few giving you something actually new like a weapon or some armor.

the guitar is cursed, every time I sit with some buddies by a campfire and hit a chord, the A-Life wakes up

[cunning shuttle]

in the context of "single player action FPS with light rpg elements" it's fine i suppose, but like i said, it's definitely bursting with potential to add, idk, in depth faction mechanics where you can rank up and build up a personal hideout, maybe a bunch of cool attachments to grind towards, stuff like that

[golden hazel]

That's just the random spawner, not A Life lmao

someone should make the crowbar a unique item that we can pick up and use as a melee

if someone does figure out how to add other melees it would pave a path for other ones aswell which is great

[timid stirrup]

Hello everyone, can you tell me how to fix the problem of a video card memory bug, when the video card loads up to 100% and the fps drops to 5-10.

[fierce harbor]

Perhaps a stupid question, but how do we do load order in S2?

[main lagoon]

Believe duty base sells it

[main lagoon]

Alphabetical order is how the mods are loaded - so rename them as needed to make them load in the order you need them to

[fierce harbor]

So in example if i would put numbers there, that would work?

[main lagoon]

In lore? Sometimes, the zone tends to be unkind towards those wanting to leave
But it's plenty possible

In-game? no

[main lagoon]

That should work, or just adding an A B C etc to the start

[fierce harbor]

Ok, thats pretty simple, thx a bunch. 😊

[main lagoon]

Not sure what you mean, but the game using 100% of your video card might not be a bug, it might just be genuninely maxing it out because it needs to

[main lagoon]

[valid trellis]

where did the stalker 2 mod channel go? its disappeared for me

nvm im stupid i found it

[main lagoon]

Pinged?

[timid stirrup]

I have the game running on medium settings, 2060 video card at 6 GB, 80 fps 80-90%, after which a bug occurs and the game loads at 100%, the video card power drops and the fps is 5-10 frames.

[main lagoon]

What causes the bug?

[timid stirrup]

That's why I'm asking what it could be, I read on forums that it's a game error, a shader loading error, or an error in the incorrect allocation of video card memory...

installed a-life fixes, doesn't help

fixes for optimization, does not help

sometimes the error disappears over time, but constantly returns

[echo pollen]

is grok gonna update stalker 2 mods?

[main lagoon]

Eventually, it's just a matter of time, likely not his top priority though

[gilded verge]

I have finished all storylines

I am impressed

RIP to anyone who will be new to the series

They'll need a lot of vodka to figure out the ending

I can already tell which ending is canon

But all of them are nicely done

[main lagoon]

The "fixes" for a-life will just make the requirements for the game even more demanding - so that's not helping regardless
Those optimizations fixes can make the game run better, but make absolutely sure you have the ones for the right version of the game, that being 1.03

Is there a background process like microsoft telemetry running?
Wondering if there's something that's taking priority over stalker 2
Then there's if your rig is overheating and thus thermothrottling, or if it's not on an SSD, or if you have frame gen on, and I'd recommend locking it to 60fps instead of 80fps, then there's if you're doing

Then there's if you've got other mods installed, which'll just make the game even more unstable than it already is - I love it and I'm having a lot of fun playing it, but it's not super stable

[hollow heron]

damn im ukrainian but i kina wish everyone in english dub had strong eastern european accent, except mercs

[gilded verge]

You're not playing on native?

[main lagoon]

Frankly I like the ukrainian voices myself, but something about them compared to the trilogy makes them a bit harder to "understand" without reading the subtitles

Might just be placebo, but I've had to play on english myself

[timid stirrup]

telemetry is disabled, my PC doesn't heat up at all, stalker 2 is installed on an m.2 drive, and I also want to note that I use DLSS together with FSR 3, can this somehow affect it?

[timid stirrup]

all mods for optimization

[main lagoon]

I have heard of minor issues with both relating to memory leaks, but I don't think they should be causing such a bit issue
Still, feel free to disable them and try without

[hollow heron]

I play with ukrainian dub but i dont really like it. For me its extremely non immersive because its nothing like real life. You wouldnt get everyone talking pure ukrainian unless you are in western part of the country.

[main lagoon]

Also, one thing you can try is to lower your fps cap, and use one of the upscaling settings (I know it'll make the game look a bit worse) but I figure if you tax your GPU less it might make it less likely to "bug"

Since you're saying it's running at 80-90% constantly right?

If you can try to get the gpu to the point where it only needs to run at say 50-65% and see if the bug still occurs, that'd atleast rule out the gpu itself being the cause

[hollow heron]

I remember playing a mod that made random Loners and Freedom be ukrainian in ShoC and it was the best thing ever. Actually made difference between Freedom and Duty.

[timid stirrup]

80-90% is its normal operation with FSR 3 and DLSS, fps is 70-80 sometimes 100, and 70-75 degrees, for 2060 this is absolutely normal, but these bugs piss me off

[main lagoon]

Are your drivers fully updated?

[timid stirrup]

overclock through nvidia settings? where it will automatically select the values ​​for the video card?

[main lagoon]

Until I updated mine, it was a bit titchy on my end, but after doing so I haven't had any issues at all

[timid stirrup]

yes

[main lagoon]

I don't mean overlocking it at all, rather I mean lowering your settings for a while, just to see if the bug still happens

[timid stirrup]

a-a-a, okay, I have to try it

[main lagoon]

Running it at a slightly lower rez, at a 60fps cap, etc

It's just a random guess, but I just figure if it's the GPU that's being maxed out for whatever reason, perhaps stressing it less might ease that issue

Coupled with disabling those mentioned settings

[humble hedge]

I agree - It's cringe when you meet Stalkers using strong american accents. Bring back the eastern european accent asap.

[main lagoon]

For the next game perhaps, but I don't think they'll rerecord all the voicelines in the game again hah

[hollow heron]

I know people like to ridicule certain group for making AI dub of the game but with modern AI tools it may actually turn out decent.

[valid trellis]

the implications of such a thing would be terrible regardless

So stalkers, where to buy flat 7.62x54 R?

so no one knows where to get this ammo?

There are moments in S2 where that statement is true

stalker isnt russian

i mean it litterally isnt

[humble hedge]

Yep

[zealous obsidian]

IF it would be Wasteland because fallout is a Wasteland rip off , eh?

[wise zinc]

if you go back far enough its just a pangea ripoff

[humble hedge]

I've got 81 hours played in Stalker 2 so far and I would summarize the whole experience like this:

[zealous obsidian]

You know Wasteland is still a Franchise?

[wise zinc]

no new games in 4 years
dead franchise

[zealous obsidian]

tell that to stalker

or how about Half Life do you also think it is dead?

Whatever, still disappointed that Stalkers dont know where to buy SVD ammo 😉

[wise zinc]

yes

would be nice if there would be an anomaly map ingame

My biggest problem with playing in ukrainian (doing it now for my second playthrough) is that you have to read subtitles a lot because of the bethesda dialogue system, it was easier to play in ukr in the first game because dialogue convos were in those big text boxes

[tacit mortar]

Dude this is my third time trying for weird water, checked the most common spawn locations and DOUBLE CHECKED for a couple hours each time. I'm 99% positive my weird water is either bugged to not spawn or it's spawning underground and I can't reach it.

[mental verge]

I heard a rumor that you have to find it first night you approach the anomaly

But I think it’s just bugged

[tacit mortar]

I've seen evidence otherwise, and have personal testimony from a friend that got it his 3rd time passing by, he didn't even know weird water spawned there and walked through.

Like I said, I'm pretty sure it's just bugged on my save. Either that or there's some weird, esoteric bullshit nobody's found out they need to do, and I just happen to not be doing it lmfao

[mental verge]

Best course of action would be to spawn it with commands

I mean, you should have it already anyway

[zealous obsidian]

how do you guy hunt artifacts without a map?

And sometimes anomaly is still there

[tacit mortar]

Wdym? Without the PDA map? If I am running missions in an area and exploring I'll just casually keep my scanner out until I find combat. With the long range scanner, I think it picks it up 100m out. Running to POI's from point A to point B usually nets me 2 or 3 artifacts, as long as it's a decent walk.

[zealous obsidian]

Anomaly maps like we had before.

[mental verge]

Yeah long range scanner is a good option too

Anomaly map

I have one too if you want it

Here is a map I was talking about, it has everything but you can choose what do you want to display

[cloud verge]

Can anyone explain the diff between, 5.56x45 ammo with AP, FMJ, HP and SS
I only know that FMJ is the regular one, AP does better vs armor, HP better vs unarmored flesh and what about SS

also is HP straight up better than FMJ, like if i was to manage inventory, should I keep HP and AP ?

[sturdy meteor]

snipe rounds. goes further then other ballistics

supersonic

[zealous obsidian]

SuperSucker

[cloud verge]

In general for say, GP37 or kharod, if i keep say 100-200 ish SS for certain long distance if I dont use a sniper
should I keep HP and AP for rest and ditch FMJ ?

[mental verge]

My friend runs only with AP and it works great overall

[sturdy meteor]

in later game, you want as much peircing damage, if you have not been to clearsky, keep farming those ap round. SS would only help pick off weak enemies at distance

[cloud verge]

I use makalanes mod so AP is slightly less effective vs unarmored but I get ur point

Ok noted, more of AP, less of HP

FMJ Im assuming is inbetween HP and AP, otherwise it becomes redundant right ?

[mental verge]

And for Rhino revolver? what are flat rounds?

[cloud verge]

flat == SS right ?

at least per description

[sturdy meteor]

(still using the vanila game names) you stock on regular pretty easy and best used to waste mutiants but when it comes to heavy armor, you want as much ap as possible but you also want the best gun with the armor peircing stats otherwise you will just be magdumping into heads and still not getting anywhere

[tacit mortar]

So I have confirmed that this rumor is only partially true because it seems to be an inconsistent bug. Doesn't always happen, but I just happened to get it.

[sturdy meteor]

get your hands on the APSB pistol, its a rapid fire handgun but the piercing is fucking insane and can down 2-3 heavy armor grunts before mag swapping. perfect for cqb

[mental verge]

It feels like it just despawns during the day after, and the game may think you picked it up

[zealous obsidian]

hehe found that after maybe 4h of playing, totaly overkill

[sturdy meteor]

for shotgun, get a m860 with mag feed till you get a saiga d12, the spaz is fast but slow as shit for reloads

intergral-a is the best smg when kitted out

[cloud verge]

Noted yeah
Actually since I modded, im using S12 and changed that upgrade to have only slug so AP, so I use that on mutants and GP37 for humans

[sturdy meteor]

sniper rifles my pick is the SVU or M701

[cloud verge]

so I got 900 of each AP and HP, when my FMJ depletes ill use the HP

omw to west checkpoint via mission from LZ, but due to Shays mod updates im staying to see the last possible day I can delay to further proceed the missions

[sturdy meteor]

assult rifles im using a ar416 for excess 5.56 ammo and akm-47s (extended mags and 8x scopes)

[mental verge]

And what are those yellow shotgun shells? They are called spread or something like that, they were great for mutants but I run out of them quickly

And where do I find more 👀

[cloud verge]

yellow? theres only buck and slug, are u using that mod that helps with ammo types and names

[cloud hornet]

is there a channel for asking help with mods?

[sturdy meteor]

buckshot, slug and dart. dart peirces armor, slugs are high damage no spread and buckshot is a sneeze in the wrong direction

[mental verge]

They have a yellowish icon, must be dart ones

[cloud verge]

isnt slug AP ? it says so in game description

[tall pecan]

why do i have two main missions? which one do i do first

[cloud verge]

Slug says AP, then dart is also AP ?

[mental verge]

There may be some optional tasks you didn't do, one should disappear when you do the next

[zealous obsidian]

haha, read both maybe?

[sturdy meteor]

huh your right. im misinformed

[tall pecan]

👀

[mental verge]

Oh, just take the emmiter to Scar then

[cloud verge]

i thought dart was new and I would have to revert the saiga upgrade via cmd

[sturdy meteor]

we have dart rounds in gamma too and that shit shreads armor, im thinking of that

[mental verge]

It was dart, Polish translator got it wrong

[cloud verge]

accha dart was renamed to Slug for S2

[mental verge]

All there was in my description was expansion

[fervent zenith]

freedom starting to look like the siance team

[cloud verge]

Expansive in this game is HP, at least thats the case for the 5.56 I was talking about

[mental verge]

There is a lot of SEVA users in Stalker 2 in general, most loners I meet wear one

[sturdy meteor]

they are SEVA Simps

[tacit mortar]

SEVA PIMPS you mean

[zealous obsidian]

SEVA>EXO

[solar prism]

Hey all, dont suppose anyone has a workaround for a bug in ‘Chasing Ghosts’ where the key card doesn’t work?
Swipes but doesn’t open the door leading upstairs.
Can’t progress the mission at all 😭😭

[sturdy meteor]

reload before quest and try again

[mental verge]

Try to reload save

[tacit mortar]

If you don't have a convenient save close enough to where you are, the only reasonable solution is to use UETools, console comman in UETools_Ghost, and walk through the bugged door.

[sturdy meteor]

do not rely on your games quicksaves, make manual saves from the games menu often incase the last autosave breaks your game

[mental verge]

Chasing ghosts as a ghost

[solar prism]

Yeahhhhhh my only save before the mission is an hour before 😅

[tacit mortar]

I learned this the hard way after I ran all the way from Zaton to Zalissya and had the door stay bugged out on me.

Said "FUCK THAT" and use UETools to walk through.

[mental verge]

Huuuuh, you don't save every 5 seconds?

[sturdy meteor]

(heavy skyrim modder with over 3400 plugins, manual saves is a must)

[late kernel]

3400 mods?!

[tacit mortar]

I use Quicksaves mostly, F5 on speed dial.

That being said, I typically use it before I feel like I'm about to engage a threat, not in the middle of a long walk.

[solar prism]

Thank you all for the suggestions! I really want to love this game but i’ve had more than a few game breaking bugs that have made me start a new game each time 🥲

[mental verge]

Long walks are the best moments to save, especially when you carry a lot of weight

[sturdy meteor]

presses F5 to autosave, a hoard of something spawns in and it autosaves, emission starts and it autosaves, emission ends and it autosaves, move towards a unmarked sidequest and it autosaves, your F5 save is now overwritten

[mental verge]

Tbh I didn't realise quicksave was an option

[sturdy meteor]

ill use them when im bouncing from stash to stash

quest wise, manual save that shit

[solar prism]

Might verify files on Steam, dunno if it’ll help with the bugs at all

[proud ruin]

They should of just called it hp/ap/fmj

[icy basin]

Called expansive in Slavic languages so

[wanton arch]

Also called expansive in german

[brisk hound]

is the a-life extended mod good?

[late kernel]

No it makes AI blind and fucks up some quests

[brisk hound]

dang, guess ill have to wait for the official a-life update

[sturdy meteor]

just increases their minimum spawn distance so their not spawning in behind you while also spawning them far away out of render distance to run into random encounters

[late kernel]

Yeah but the mod author felt the need to also tweak stealth settings, which contributes to overall AI stupidity

[sturdy meteor]

its passable but its not really A-life like the og games had it

[tall pecan]

Ok so, how do i fix monolith soldiers being stuck inside main building in Zalissiya?

[brisk hound]

miss the og a-life

[tall pecan]

Sometimes they spawn outside of the building, but they run inside

[sturdy meteor]

the massive amount of optimization they did on the game broke the alife they had in place and needs to be reworked with current version along with dlc later

[brisk hound]

[late kernel]

Not massive enough if you still have to rely on upscale and framegen, it seems

adding ghosting and visual artifacts as a side effect

[sturdy meteor]

yeah, can you blame the game or the engine

[cinder sleet]

Congrats on every person making it to another weekend 🤝 Enjoy

[sturdy meteor]

its now 12 am sunday and my birthday. time to crack open that rum i have been saving

[brisk hound]

my weekend just ended, dang another hell of a week coming

[knotty spruce]

i think i finally reached a game breaking bug - in the Down Below quest ||korshunov gets stuck after a minute of fighting and stops taking any damage||

[cinder sleet]

Prost! Happy Birthday

[true yew]

I just realized, ||the artifact Strelok held in SoC is in the game, holy shit the plot hole is filled||

[peak eagle]

If you think about it, he lost it for quite awhile there, wonder where he dropped it

[sturdy meteor]

fell off his belt when he went to take a shit

[true yew]

||Doc|| hid it for the funnies

"||Strelok||, you haven't paid me shit. This shall be considered as your payment"

[tacit mortar]

SO JUST MAKING SURE I HAVE THIS RIGHT

Clear Sky happens BEFORE SoC??

[peak eagle]

CS - SoC - CoP - S2

[sturdy meteor]

anomaly-gamma inbetween cop and s2 unofficially

[tall pecan]

sigh

[sturdy meteor]

not wearing my glasses, i thought that was a huge fucking bloodsucker in the painting behind them

[tall pecan]

people say this bug happens because of some bugged emission

[peak eagle]

I've had one the entire game now too

[sturdy meteor]

got a bugged quest marker for budmo that i already completed with marker over one of the stashes

can't toggle off tracking in the completed list

[tall pecan]

this hapened before i met Scar so it is like 40 hour of progress since then, i cant just start from there

[true yew]

Mine doesn't show on the objectives tab but does on the map

[tacit mortar]

Apparently if you collect the electronic collars before you do the first quest with Dvupalov, he'll take all of them and you can't finish the sidequest for them later. Fml

[sturdy meteor]

Mood

[tall pecan]

yes exactly, it stays like this on journal

[true yew]

speaking of quests, how big are the consequences if you finish some quest before you take it/they update?

Like, would it bug the game

[molten osprey]

if i have to kill one more bloodsucker with my knife because i spray every bullet into the air im gonna dump my head in the swamps

[tacit mortar]

Gotta say, I have absolutely no clue what exactly you're asking

[sturdy meteor]

depends on how the quest is changed. if its a typo fix then its fine but if they have to rework the quest then it can crap out

[true yew]

Like, what happens if you fuck up the quest's progression. Like what you did

[tacit mortar]

I'm having to look up quest chain ID's and force quest progression through console command on UETools.

Otherwise it completely bricks the quest

[sturdy meteor]

waited till next emission, make the quest replay itself in the same location and hid in a corner till its over

[tacit mortar]

Dvupalov needs 1 necklace, Shcherba needs 4. There's 5 total in the game. But Dvupalov takes all that you have when you do the quest. You could have already gotten all 5 and mistakenly given them to Dvupalov and absolutely fuck yourself over on accident.

[true yew]

You could climb on some boxes and try to lure them from that. Might be scummy tho

[sturdy meteor]

shit, i had 2 on me when i seen the drunk. ill keep that in mind next game

[molten osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/chefe-cozinha-gif-14636209388776641245

[stoic lichen]

Warlock looks absolutely done with all of this shit.

[pliant sigil]

I had no honor among thieves or whatever it’s called stuck on my quest list until the end of the game because I accidentally sequence broke it

[next sluice]

anyone ever seen this funny guy pop up in their journal?

[true yew]

I hope it doesn't happen for main quests or quests related to them

[sharp pendant]

Is it better to like keep one of each artifact in your box in case you find a quest that buys it?

[true yew]

Haven't yet, but shit that's ghostly scary

[sharp pendant]

Unrelated, I wish I had like a 50 cal to deal with some of these mutants

https://youtu.be/OOIsGXSHjbU?si=0Sbzz8HUPUw32a4p

[true yew]

I think you're better of selling those artifacts instead
Got a artifact hunt quest for 3700, which is a bit lower than the selling price of the actual artifact

[tacit mortar]

I have this with a generic quest from both Needle and Warlock. They moved places temporarily due to story reasons I won't spoil, and I had a quest from them before they did.

Now I can't finish either of the quests.

[sharp pendant]

Yeah, you need to clear it with UE tools. Someone linked me relevant reddit posts yesterday

[unkempt steeple]

Need some help, i need to give him the supressor blueprint, yet there is no prompt to give it to him

[stoic lichen]

It’s the beat quest in the game! It’s

[sharp pendant]

The quest ids for the generic quests are in the comments of one of the reddit quests. I’ll pull up my logs in a bit

[gray aspen]

hey so i got the distress call from zalassia and im here now but the door to get to the side quest is locked, how am i supposed to unlock it?

[fervent zenith]

funny thing is i found most suits in the game by now but not a shiva

[pliant sigil]

Does anyone find it hilarious that the only way to beat ||Scar|| is to give him even more ||brain damage?||

[torpid relic]

fuck! yes! https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/749?tab=description

[sharp pendant]

I legit never figured out what the acronym means

[late kernel]

they have no official meaning, It's a name given to the agents of the C-Conciousness such as a certain character that i won't name

[sharp pendant]

I just know “get out of here, stalker”

[gray aspen]

is there a way to just disable pseudo dog spanws? cuz jesus fuck why is it able to spawn like 5 clones every 15 seconds

even worse so when theres a whole pack of dogs with it aswell when im tryn just do a task

[true yew]

Tourist 🫵

[late kernel]

"Less Psy Dog Clones" mod reduces the clones

[late kernel]

It's not fun when there 3 actual psydogs spawning in 11 clones, equating to 33 psydogs just running around

[gray aspen]

600 hours between the original games and even more so on anomaly, efp, gamma, says otherwise

[thick oasis]

fuck no

[gray aspen]

its just a waste of ammo tho when im fighting monolithians and these fuckers keep spawning and destroying my armour and ammo stores

[stoic lichen]

Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Looters, Killers, Explorers, Robbers

[sharp pendant]

That was it

[stoic lichen]

Yep.

[thick oasis]

backronym, stalker comes from roadside picnic and was used for urban "explorers" before the game

[stoic lichen]

It especially not that fun trying to sniff out who’s the real psy dog while standing on a box.

[gray aspen]

hasnt the term stalker been used for a long time to descibe ppl who explore abandoned places, and roadside picnic just popularised the term?

[thick oasis]

so uh quick question i updated the merge tool and the merge pak is generated with no Zs which places it on top?

[cloud verge]

Does stalker 2 have cooking or cooked meats ?

[thick oasis]

bruv roadside picnic is 1970s?

[gray aspen]

and?

[thick oasis]

so before that was a thing

[true yew]

My bad, I retract what I said

[fleet rain]

Is compiling shaders supposed to take forever?

[thick oasis]

yes

[fleet rain]

Been an hour n still ain't done rip

[thick oasis]

well that's not good, something's fucked - mine took 5 minutes on first launch

[late kernel]

get an optimizer mod that drastically reduces shader loading time or outright disable.

Having it compile everytime is unnecessary

[fleet rain]

Don't think you can mod the gamepass version

[late kernel]

RIP

[fleet rain]

I hope i can run it lmfao

[thick oasis]

xbox truly bringing the worst of both PC and console together

wait a sec people say the mods work fine on gamepass version and there's been no new posts about it since november
some just had the mods folder named wrong

[fleet rain]

Oh wait really? I'll have to try it. Always had a hellish time trying to mod gamepass games as 90% of the time they just don't work

Most I've ever done is get a couple bug fixes on bannerlord 2

[pliant sigil]

Does anyone feel like the ending sequence goes on for too long? It was like the devs had a quota for total time and were like “not long enough, add another two hallways with Monolith in exos” except they kept doing that again and again.

[thick oasis]

GSC never saw the sseth's video, endgame slogs through exoskeletoners is literal aids
i slapped on novichok's AI just before ||breaking out of malachite|| and it was just terrible, had to circle three times

[pliant sigil]

Like, the section with ||running between bunkers|| was fine, the ||boss fights|| were mostly fine, but the rest just felt incredibly padded.

Also I like how ||Degtyarev|| saw the shitstorm on the horizon and was like “lol lmao no”

Does the game crash for anyone else when going north of duty base?

Some NPCs start talking over the radio about some battlle to the north east building of the bridge.

[river lintel]

I sas someone in my friends list launch and relaunch stalker 2 over and over and then finally "stalcraft: X"

[fallow pivot]

its always the same line of dialogue that crashes it as well. "Neither is committing suicide!"

[toxic comet]

uhm

F wtf emisions damage your stuff wtf

with that long ass magwell?

[tall pecan]

Man when they will fix Zalissiya quest 😭😭😭

[thick oasis]

1.0.3 fixed it fully, at least for me

[tall pecan]

It is not fixed, all monoliths soldiers staying inside the building hanging out with stalker

Sometimes when they push each other out of building i can kill them but they are staying there

[late kernel]

Then i'm guessing a new game is required with the new update

[thick oasis]

load an earlier save, uhhh

[vivid nymph]

its gamma?

[thick oasis]

tbh zalissya won't have a guide so maybe it's ok to have it fall

[tall pecan]

It is 80 hour-worthy save man I'm not doing that

[late kernel]

Thats fine i didn't bother with Zalyssia either because no one was there except random gunshots

[tall pecan]

Have you checked inside of main building

[late kernel]

Yeah, not a soul

[tired stone]

This is old but i wanted to add I already know two people who bought stalker 2 and played it without playing a single stalker game before that and not knowing about gamma either. I didn't recommend that to them it was on their own

[vivid nymph]

Who can sent me engine.ini on max graphic settings?

on max loading lods and etc

[tired stone]

tbh it does feel weird that they have you wading through water in general when that would completely soak your pants/boots etc

i get that barely anyone cares about that and it would probably just be an annoying gameplay mechanic more than it would add immersion to implement anything regarding that

[thick oasis]

they are all rubberized and multilayered tbh

besides the newbie jeans and bandit tracksuits i suppose

[tired stone]

Sunrise suit seems a bit iffy on that but seva suit and scientists I think are fine

maybe exosuits but then that raises the question of exoskeletons touching water

[thick oasis]

i don't see a problem outside of electrical isolation, shit's supposed to be weatherproof to be combat effective, especially in the zone

[tired stone]

makes sense

[thick oasis]

the bigger hurdle to stalker exos is bulk, you try getting out of a chopper in this

[peak eagle]

Unless you're packing a ward exo, seems pretty sleek enough

gotta be one of the best easter eggs in the game

[toxic comet]

why after 100 rounds its durability drops to 60 come on game

[toxic comet]

shadow menu screen

[torpid relic]

uh, i cant wait for a mod that rebinds the quickslot things back to old stalker, F1, F2,F3,F4

idk why they did it like it is rn, maybe cause they made the quick slot item use later on and started with console and just used the same machnic for pc? like for console this makes sense but not for pc where i have so many keys

[pliant sigil]

You know, I’ve never actually tried the Mk1 EMR. How is it?

[clever sigil]

ye

[toxic comet]

it feels good but no durability upgrades wears down stupid fast

[pliant sigil]

I wonder if the unique version addresses that. Too bad the unique version is locked behind defending Zalyssia.

[wanton arch]

||fuck tscherba||

[toxic comet]

u can find one in pripyat with scope and suppresor

[toxic comet]

rebind then

[maiden valve]

i’m really enjoying hoc but something about it makes me want to start a new gamma run xD

[torpid relic]

oh sorry thats not what i meant, i mean that slot one is on F1 and slot two on F2 instead of Slot one being F1 and slot two being Long press F1

I got the suit so whatever

You can just dump that quest and find a similar suit in wild territory

[gleaming thicket]

did this happen to anyone: sometimes, a random weapon just teleports into my hands, usually a broken m870, out of nowhere, and replaces my current weapon. my previous weapon is put into the backpack

[wanton arch]

Which i think is better tbh

[next sluice]

i guess the guide went of and just died somewhere

[warped monolith]

not when it gives you broken guns

[torpid relic]

so now after all these patches, should i removed the mutant mods like groks mutant hp and less tanky mutants?

[warped monolith]

also if I wanted to cheat I'd just spawn money and guns myself

sell to ragman in rostock

i love how the bruiers (i cant spell there names, i forgor) can use your weapon against you in more ways then one. Back in the day they just joinked the 20kgs pkm out of your hand and launched it against ur head, now they actually use your full mag of very expensive ammo against you.

snoop dog been here

[peak eagle]

burers, and they can even use unloaded guns to shoot you as well lol

[toxic comet]

i smell bacon

[livid frost]

i got shot 5 times by a double barrel

Still got 69 more shells in that 2 shell boomstick

[warped monolith]

and you were still alive?

[thick oasis]

they really went all in with concept arts, everything that has ever been done or glanced is in the game
eg the zalissya hill gates were a CoP promo concept art

[warped monolith]

I know I can sell to ragman, but having to haul ass there every time the game decides to give me a 10% durability TOZ isn't worth the hassle

[peak eagle]

Thats when you pick up all the Buket SMGs that monolith exosuits like to use

[livid frost]

it was shooting slow and i was spamming meds but still died

[thick oasis]

take cover, wait for it's shield to go down, unload into the fokker has been working for me

[wanton arch]

Questiom where should i go to max my newly found exo?

[warped monolith]

or use skif's pistol and 500 rounds of 9x18mm. He can't yank it off your hands because it's a quest item.

the one in yanov should be able to do everything, i use her for diamond exo

Just finished the game. I know there's a bunch of stuff I probably missed, but I was not at all hurting for gear by the end.

I won't spoil, but I think the ending I picked was ultimately satisfying enough, if a bit bleak.

When I do a replay, I might be a bit more thorough. (And also get a different ending.)

any possibility it can be dealt with?

through modding? 😄

[late kernel]

best you can do is increase sharpness and disable post processing effects, worst case, play at a higher resolution.

While I did find a bunch of exos toward the end, I never got anything I felt was actually just... better than the Diamond exo.

Dude, i get a random VSS in my hand, i kill someone, now i got an AKS74U in my hand. Uhhh am i playing fucking GunGame or something?

[tacit mortar]

I'm very, very inclined to believe that this would have been where they had a monster parts vendor. Maybe even an NPC for Mutant Trophy quests.

There's even a damn abacus on the table for counting.

[wary orbit]

look i don't know, i assume its gonna be part of a DLC or something

[royal mural]

did you finish down below yet?

[tacit mortar]

Yeah either way it'd be a prime location for an NPC that buys monster junk, mods, dlc, or patched in later. Idc, I'd just like to see something like that lol

Also I think it'd be a good idea for the Mutant-Loot mod to make you have to trade it to specific vendors. I don't think Eugene wants my rat hides and controller spine fluid lol

Reallistically there'd only be maybe 4 people to trade it to. Somebody in Ward, Malchite, Freedom, and Duty. Idk if it'd make a whole lot of sense otherwise. I'm not a lore specialist either, though.

the freedomers keep talking about ||how they're at war again|| and I've seen a duty squad like twice

[ancient cave]

makes sense why I haven't seen them then, I stopped going there after the 30th bloodsucker attack (for that zone specifically) and the 10th burer spawn

why are there so many bloodsuckers jfc I've killed more of them than every other mutant combined

[west moth]

None of them will stop Duty on its triumphant march towards saving the planet!

[bronze tusk]

sometimes that whole mini radius spawn thing is.... weird.... I loaded a game and 3 bloodsuckers spawn right next to me while the game isnt even "opening its eyes". tbf im fucking sick of bloodsuckers. I dont know how others think but Mutants in Stalker 2 are insanely annoying to deal with. I dont even mind the spongyness and trillions of idiot dog copys. Its just that mutants dont feel frigthening and just annoying. Or you find a Stash and BAM bloodsucker spawns or 2. It feels like Doom 3 where enemys kept creeping up behind you because of the "secret door" it just feels so unatural. Not even alife2.0 would be able to fix that shit *Edit: Not saying the game is bad just annoyed with some mechanics 🙂

anyone know the name of the mod that fixes the light transition from going indoor to outdoor?
its too bring outside if im indoors

You can do so

[wary orbit]

if you do you are scum

[high spoke]

So you think I should skip using it ?

[tall pecan]

I saved their life i deserve more than 1000 coupons

[peak eagle]

Yeah there's quite a few armorsets that's better than that exo

[wary orbit]

maybe they can give you a bonus bullet to the neck for being a greedy scumy bastard

[tacit mortar]

I fucking hate it, but I think I'll have to spawn in Weird Water since it's still fuckin' bugged, and I have no clue how far back it goes in my saves...

I really don't feel good about it but fuck you Stalker 2. I've spent literal hours on those lights and you're still not spawning

[tall pecan]

[zenith rune]

how armor works? i mean armor and mask, do resistances adds to each other? or mask only cover head and if you are hit in the head, resistance from that part is taken for calculation?

[tall pecan]

it fits nicely with my drip

[high spoke]

Allright. I will keep looking. I want a good rad resistance for some heavy artifact setup and decent physical one if thats possible

[livid frost]

you checked the rock?

[peak eagle]

full suits cover fully, otherwise it's separate values for body/head

[wary orbit]

so does some flowers over your shallow grave

[tall pecan]

it ruins game progression, i took of mine, better than experiencing most of the game with saturated color drunk effect

[peak eagle]

the Falcon bulat is a good choice, extremely armored up and has a few lead containers for those heavy rad artifacts and defense

[warped monolith]

I wasn't referring to you, brother

[tacit mortar]

Every single one, even installed the "Altered Items detection" for finding it on the scanner. After trying for literal hours to spawn in it, loading back to a save at 21:30 and waiting for stuff to spawn, it is just bugged.

Not everybody has this issue, but apparently it can despawn after you are in the area the first time, if you don't get it the first time. Most likely I walked past it pretty early before I even knew it had an altered item in the area, every time after it never spawned. I've literally never seen it this entire playthrough.

[high spoke]

PSZ-91 FALCON ?

[wary orbit]

imagine stealing a M-14 with a reddot from someone that is making sure you have a fire to come back to

[peak eagle]

Yeah, Freedom Armorer sells one on occasion or you can find a guaranteed one in the world

[tacit mortar]

Wdym it ruins game progression? By using it, or not using it?

By all rights I should have the item already. At this point it's the bugs at fault.

[livid frost]

yea thats crazy, i did hear it could spawn under the map for some

[tall pecan]

using it, it is too OP so you have to use it in some missions, but using it ruins game by that stupid drunk effect

[tacit mortar]

It wasnn't even under the map, it just didn't spawn. Or I'd see the item of the radar with the detection mod. I literally had to install it to make sure I wasn't going crazy, and low and behold, nothing ever shows up on it in the field there.

[high spoke]

Im at the vendor right now and she has Liberty Exosuit.. tempting as well

[peak eagle]

Some altered artifacts do have trouble spawning unfortunately

[tall pecan]

you sure you are going there after 22:00 right

[peak eagle]

Thats also pretty good too, tho do take note it's expensive to upgrade and maintain exoskeletons

[high spoke]

I know. but its fun :>

[peak eagle]

Go for it, Yaniv tech to upgrade it tho

[high spoke]

Okay it'll take a while

But I can have it ready

[peak eagle]

Purchase it, those suits don't stay on sale for long

[high spoke]

Lmao, I had falcon in my stash

[peak eagle]

lol

[abstract furnace]

alr last person to eat the anomalous bread, i’m taking their god damn cheeks

[high spoke]

But from what I can see Liberty Exo has better stats than Falcom

[tacit mortar]

Yep. Again, I've saved at 21:30, and waited about 50 different damn times. I've even intalled a Altered Item Detection mod in an attempt to track it down. Nothing at all on the radar, it doesn't even show up. It just doesn't spawn.

Also I'm about 75% of the way through the game and have yet to feel 'forced' to pick stuff up and loot anything. I always carry 200-300 rounds on full auto or 100 shotgun shells, been making it work with 3 medium weight artifacts and 1 Strong weight. And personally, I'd rather the weird water keep the effect so it's not just free carry weight with no drawback.

Peta takes away falcon only to euthanize it later themselves

[tall pecan]

just use console to spawn one or give it to yourself if you cant get it, it is not like it is your fault

[tacit mortar]

Yeah, I know.

[peak eagle]

AArtifactWeirdWater for the ID

[tacit mortar]

I've already got it brother, but I appreciate it nonetheless.

Between Weird Water being bugged for hours and animations not working for you quick-slot items, this game is widdling my sanity away

[wary orbit]

I recommend alcohol.

whats up with these white foliage, they increase by every patch

[tacit mortar]

Ironically, I have a bottle of Whiskey and a glass on my desk.

[wary orbit]

the more stuff you steal the more they get, they are the shrubbery of Karma

[white moat]

now I’m playing the Trilogy. First time playing SoC and uh

holy fuck the last mission is insane

[tacit mortar]

It's pop-in due to UE5. It's quite common with most games running UE5 right now, sadly.

[tall pecan]

i think i never managed to finish it, i was getting pounded by monolith in CNPP building, no ammo, no medkit left at the end

[zealous obsidian]

This is broken 4 ever eh?

[wary orbit]

lul you failed both? Thats an achievement if i ever saw one

[tacit mortar]

...how? Damn.

[zealous obsidian]

That happens when they throw grenades behind you and guess who dies

[white moat]

took 1000 rounds of 5.56, 30 medkits, 50 bandages and a exo

barely made it with 60 rounds and 5 medkits. I went through 3 exo suits

[high spoke]

The one thing that annoys me is that I have to guess which technician can upgrade what

[tacit mortar]

I'm gonna be running in with as much 7.62 as I can carry with Glutton

[tall pecan]

which one is this

[peak eagle]

Should be the one where Sidorovich asks you to get rid of competition

[zealous obsidian]

correct. Welp pretty fail that it wont fail or goes on or something

[gray aspen]

are there radiation warding artifacts? am i just getting unlucky that 30 hours in i haven't found one yet?

[peak eagle]

Plenty of anti-rad artifacts, I myself got like 4 Maximum anti-rad Liquid Rocks

check chemical anomalies

[gray aspen]

damn, what anomalies do they spawn around?

[peak eagle]

You can do around 3 in the Garbage region

[gray aspen]

feel like ive been to just about every type and only get like artifacts that borderline make me glow green with how much radiation they emit

[tacit mortar]

If you haven't gotten one yet, there's upgrades for suits that have lead containers. If you put artifacts that emit radiation in the green slot for artifacts, that's the lead container and it blocks rads.

[silver mantle]

any of you stuck on the down below mission (near the end)?

big bad is stuck, invulnerable and not moving...

[abstract furnace]

next person to talk gets their cheeks taken

[gray aspen]

yea was gonna get that but so far only rostok techs can to it to my armour and its expensive, kinda just wanted to stopp carrying vodka and anti rad tho cuz im like always overweight

[abstract furnace]

UH OHHHHG @gray aspen

[gray aspen]

oh well, atleast i know now that theyr out there i just gotta roll the dice better

[gray aspen]

huh?

[wary orbit]

just ignore

[gray aspen]

also jesus does skiff have like a hole in his stomach? cuz im eating like so much food and this big backs mf is always fuckin hungry

[zealous obsidian]

So to get the rep higher to rais the traders and mechs from neutral we need to do only missions from the bar guys?

[peak eagle]

Check these locations regularly, these are chemical anomalies are probably likely to spawn anti-rad artifacts

[gray aspen]

got it thx

[tacit mortar]

Side missions with the same faction also count. If you find people wounded asking for help, and help them, that faction also improves a bit iirc.

[peak eagle]

Helping squads against their enemies help improve rep too

[tacit mortar]

Actually? Didn't know that, that's cool.

[zealous obsidian]

So its super slow and I should not take the artifact hunt missions. okay

[peak eagle]

It'll take a few squads for green rep tho, but should be fine

[gray aspen]

feel like my ||noontide rep went to waste after the side quests i did for them, atleast im not a ward/sircca sellout||

[tacit mortar]

Save before you take it, see if you have the artifact in your stash, and reload if you don't to get a different quest.

Saves you a ton of time from having to cancel and wait a couple days to get a different one

[zealous obsidian]

I reaaaally hate it that the dudes can NOT say what they want in the first place

[wary orbit]

thats because its RNG

[peak eagle]

I can understand if they want me to murder people, at least they're nearby, but artifacts they should say what they want first

[tacit mortar]

Should tell you what it is when you ask about it, and you have to option to say "nah I'll try something else" before you actually accept it.

[zealous obsidian]

who ever decided the mechanic must be like got something wrong

[wary orbit]

its so not one playthrough is ever the same

[tacit mortar]

Ngl I'd prefer it that way, at least keep it random, but should still tell you before the quest is accepted.

[zealous obsidian]

I dont care about RNG, they could hold a freaking note in my face to tell me what it is to not syncro every artefact

It is all about not telling me in the firstplace what they want. I dont have a problem with RNG at all.

[tacit mortar]

Yeah, I've just made do with F5 quicksave, F8 quickload. It sucks but it's what it is.

I recommend holding on to 1 of every artifact you find, at least, and sell them when the missions pop up for them and never any other time.

[hot lotus]

anyone else having the bug that occurs in ||x17 with dalin|| i've tried everything but the bald fucker wont move

[tacit mortar]

I've had about 5 of those quests be done as soon as I grab them, because the artifact is in my stash already.

[warped monolith]

marked one, what the hell

[gray aspen]

why does the spass 12 do SO much more damage than the m590

[zealous obsidian]

yeah I will do that in the future. Right now almost any of them is locked with some artifact that I dont have. I also dont have that many because I havent found that much and since I play with mods and Hardcore economy I only make money with artefacts. Everything else is just peanuts. I mean also the artefacts but they pay better. 20KG of loot is maybe 500 coupons.

[peak eagle]

Cause its cool

[gray aspen]

like man i rememebr with the pump i had to shoot blood suckers so much and now im 2 or 3 tapping them

[peak eagle]

Wait till you get the Saiga or Ram-2

[gray aspen]

cant wait to, the reload on the spas is kinda annoying

[peak eagle]

calmly reloading

[zealous obsidian]

This will also get me killed so often when I have 4-5 bloodsuckers on my ass

[gray aspen]

activly roleplaying the battle of kursk (2024 edition) while casually reloading the spas is so annoying

[tacit mortar]

I'm sitting at at least 100,000 K or more pretty often. (This is a lot for me as I spend an excessive amount of K) It's mostly because while I'm traveling from point A to B, those other missions that aren't artifact missions CAN HELP pad your wallet out along with the other stuff. These missions can also spawn baddies with decent gear that you can sell for me.

Basically, every vendor should be on anything OTHER than an artifact mission IF YOU DONT HAVE THAT ARTIFACT ALREADY. Otherwise, you're wasting potential earning every time you head out to explore or progress.

[gray aspen]

like not even briskly reloading he taking his sweet sweet time

[hot lotus]

dude this shit tstinks, im at the point were i require fucking UEtools to progress the main story this shit wasn't tested at all

[peak eagle]

Well, to their credit, making a UE5 game while being engaged in an active war is rather impressive for what we got

[tall pecan]

ok so why the fight off monolight hasnt been marked as completed

[wary orbit]

i see you made playing the game into the art of Excel

[hot lotus]

i hate all of you mfs. you cannot release a extremely expensive game and have 2 quests back to back force you to use a console to jerry rig complete them

[zealous obsidian]

Like I said I cant really sell gear. Drops are slim and weapons dont pay. But yeah I will change the artefact missions.

I've been looking into UE5 and it's actually crazy how much of it is FORCED to use TAA and the like in order to smooth out the shitty qualities and power demand from you GPU. Fuckin' bonkers to me how this is considered a "Step forward" in graphics when it's just a fancy AI tool to cover up shitty textures and AA.

Fuck TAA

anyone here got a 4080 super, what kinda fps you getting on higher resolutions?

you all who finished Zalissiya quest, can anyone check if Fight off the monolight has been marked as green or gray

[tacit mortar]

1440p, 4080gpu, i9 chip, getting a consistent 90fps or more on almost everything epic. The only issues I have is entering into towns, I can exprience a few memory leaks, dropping it ALL THE WAY down to 30 or lower. I haven't seen that issue but once since the last patch though.

[zealous obsidian]

right now I need to pay 200k to upgrade my SEVA, for the container slots and Led container. I also want the last physical upgrade. For a medium artefact I get 3500 coupons.
Hell of a ride, I really need to think when to engage and when not because of the repair bils and ammo.

[wraith quarry]

anyone knows if there's a mod that allows you to shoot in area you are not supposed to?

[wary orbit]

hm interesting. running almost all settings on epic @ 1080p no problem on my 2070 Super

[tacit mortar]

Keep shittier gear around to travel in the safer areas. That way you're not getting 50,000 in repairs while you gather 10,000 worth of garbage. I've been running exclusively the Armored Bandit Jacket when I'm running around Rostok/Garbage/Cordon and the like.

I've done runs from Cordon up to Rostok gathering artifacts along the way, getting into a bunch of fights (thanks A-Life Extended), and only paid MAYBE 5,000 for repairs on the armor while fully upgraded.

[zealous obsidian]

dunno man I get ambushed pretty often there with bloocksucker gangs. The repair bills are mostly on my weapons though.

[tacit mortar]

Really? The only place I've been jumped by more than 1 bloodsucker was up in the Red Forest, or West towards Malachite/Duga.

[torpid relic]

great, i need to fight a controller at the swamps pump station, but the weather is so shitty its literally impossible for me to snipe him + they made all scopes in this game have a max magnification of maybe 1.5x so you dont see the terrible LODs and the . . . . . . oh and the weather cleared up as soon as i talked shit

[tacit mortar]

I still think I'd rather fight 3-5 bloodsuckers instead of 3 Poltergeists.

[gray aspen]

3070 has always been kinda ass imo, theres a reason ppl almost exclusively have the 3070 ti

huh, didn't had that announcement, after dealing with lyonya i've came back to zalissiya, talked with gaffar and he said thank you and all and got the achievement, so quest done, right? or is there something more to it?

this guest is janky af, worst of all that it fails automatically after some time

[verbal oyster]

Save it just in case you run into the zalissya bug (one of them at least)
If you're on PC we can use the console to complete it without failing, in the case it happens.

[peak eagle]

perhaps you threw one earlier and then another one right after, they can blow up simultaneously

[warped monolith]

kf1 moment

[tall pecan]

when you walk away a bit, gaffar says Zalissiya is safe and everybody can take refugee from monolith etc from radio, and warlock and hamster and repairman starts doing their business in main building

[burnt hull]

Nah,same

[gray aspen]

nah nah im talking these tripwires

[tall pecan]

thanks man

[gray aspen]

like as soon as i tickle the wire they just blow up instantly

[wraith quarry]

alright then, time to see

[tall pecan]

does it make sense to use these two together, i like them but their ammo is kinda limited

[strange umbra]

anyone know how to fix the audio journals not playing any sound

[wraith quarry]

and he says that zalissya has fallen...

[wary orbit]

i see absolutely no reason to use a VSS in the game ever

[tall pecan]

uh oh

[peak eagle]

Well you could use the veteran, you can find the extended mag for the Vintorez in the swamps

[wraith quarry]

and then immediately after tells me that zalissya is safed

[tall pecan]

go check the town

[tall pecan]

they look good grr

[warped monolith]

gaffar is schizoposting

[wraith quarry]

i think he is, i already heard from gaffar every single dialogue line regarding the result of the quest

[wary orbit]

As Val has some benefit Vss is just limiting you with its scope. And as a DMR its just bad

[wraith quarry]

First he tells me that zalissya has fallen, then that it's saved, then that I'm shooting my own people

[clever sigil]

then dont shoot your own people, duh xD

[wraith quarry]

but I did not, that's the thing

[clever sigil]

but yeah its still bugged, most likely tied to the amazing Alive

[burnt hull]

Use lavina and instead of veteran use svd

[wraith quarry]

Okay nevermind it's good, gaffer is still alive and the quest is completed 👍

[clever sigil]

yeah it is completed, but lets see after you walk to a different region

[tall pecan]

SVD ammo is kinda rare rn

[wraith quarry]

I mean it's already good, monolith troops that were inside the hall have despawned

[burnt hull]

U dont need more than 45

[clever sigil]

yes, that happened for me too. then when i left lesser zone the zallisa fell

[burnt hull]

Use clusterfuxk instead of svd then
