[wanton arch]

I would argue but freedom vs duty debates in the big '24 is pretty cringe, so I'll let it rest

[stable quarry]

now a days the new cringe is Scarposting

[river lintel]

Oh Ive never actually cared about duty vs freedom, I just like red and black more than green tbh

[wanton arch]

personally I always have loved loners specifically for their drip, I love looking like a depressed homeless person

[river lintel]

I love going full loner. But psz and seva suits are really nice too

[elfin pilot]

@humble smelt its SOFMOD

[halcyon orchid]

anyone figured a way to not use upscaling that looks acceptable

[halcyon orchid]

someday we will get some image clarity

[rose venture]

I just started a new game (in hopes that I can at least mitigate the fuzzy lighting), but this time I put it on veteran and HOLY SHIT THAT FIRST BLOODSUCKER DESTROYED ME

[halcyon orchid]

im using a mod thats supposed to change veteran to master difficulty

[rose venture]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker-duty-dance-dolg-gif-21048575

[halcyon orchid]

just makes player and npc strong equaly ish

[rose venture]

I’m using something similar, along with Grok’s rebalance

[halcyon orchid]

bloodsuckers still suck though lol

like almost 1 hit

[rose venture]

I’m using FUBAR, but with Realistic Weapon Damage, and something else i can’t remember

I think i got it ordered properly that there’s no conflicts, at least none apparent yet

[halcyon orchid]

i didnt wanna mess with the difficulty too much

way it is vanilla reminds me too much of fallout though

[rose venture]

I like getting killed but also being able to kill yknow, I want like two shots to take me out but if the enemies are tanky that’s just not fun lol

I’m also using that NPC Loadout mod to make the “leveling” system not give me 80% exoskeleton enemies in the late game

But it also gives exoskeleton mfs a chance to spawn even at the start so it balances out

[halcyon orchid]

i think i ran into some of them but the veteran to master mod takes care of it decently

not just 1 headshot but a few

[narrow spear]

I am skif the stalker and if you give me a cool gun or some money my morals are completely pushed to the side, cause I mean c'mon look at this thing. You wanna turn people into zombies so you can realize your human centipede fetishes? That's gonna cost you at least 1 super cool looking VSS Vintorez bucko

[narrow spear]

You can use practically any armor with it because it's so strong

This is Major Slav to ground control

Might test this with using leather jacket and finding the nearest bloodsucker village

[halcyon orchid]

aeiou

[river lintel]

People have tested it. Basically artifacts give one stat bar per level, so weak is one up to maximum being 4. So a compass and an ecologist suit hits the cap

[narrow spear]

Major Slav by Davitri Bowiskalov

[river lintel]

They tested it by having different combos of artifacts and armor and walking on to a grenade

[halcyon orchid]

does skif really just care about his house getting nuked

[narrow spear]

man's got priorities. Lost his goon cave, now he has nothing.

[halcyon orchid]

lose wife ok.... lose goon cave?

[narrow spear]

the man lives in Ukraine, the goon cave was all he had

[true yew]

Oh great Heavens

[true yew]

As far as I know, all he mentioned about why he's in the zone is because the damn artifact destroyed his home. No mention of family. "I don't care who you are, this artifact destroyed my home and you better help me rebuild it"

[halcyon orchid]

i thought there was a family or wife somewhere but might be silly

most likely

[kindred rune]

anybody know the code for this stashes i cant find it anywhere 😦

I've seen what no coochie does to a MF, they turn into S2 Scar

ive been drunk the whole time ive been in sircaa still dont really know whats going on

someday i will be free'd

[narrow spear]

"Local Stalker exposed to open bar, is found dead from overindulgence of alcohol, scientists left stunned"
On Thursday, December 12th, SIRCAA scientists found a local STALKER dead within the housing section.
When Head of SIRCAA, Dalin, was reached out to for comments, he said "I don't understand what happened. We told him to take a shower and have a drink, and the next morning we found him like that. He had something like 28 empty bottles of Vodka around him. we plan to study him as we would an anomaly because we ourselves have no explaination for this."

[golden hazel]

Gonna need to develop the 200 rads bar for that one

[maiden valve]

is that freedom base? the code is in a warehouse northwest of the building, you have to fight a controller there. or just put the code 0690

[narrow spear]

the code would have 69 in it huh

[maiden valve]

thats freedom for you

[kindred rune]

i have killed the controller

thanks for the code buddy

[maiden valve]

no problem. its written on the wall as well where the body is

[kindred rune]

ok ok

where can i find AS valve ??

[maiden valve]

you’re supposed to download the mods individually i think. the pak just merges the conflicts maybe

[dense dirge]

Oh bless, thank you Mogs for the answer

[paper badge]

Heya. I'm getting no audio from the game at all. Double checked everything in settings to make sure it's being output to my earphones.

Only happens when I'm launching through Vortex. Think it's a mod issue?

[narrow spear]

If the only modded files you're using are PAKs, I'd just drag and drop them into the game's ~mods folder.

Guys, do you think devs would add kinda iron mode? Fallout based survival difficulty where you can save only while sleeping?

[narrow spear]

Lemmie give you the rundown. The first flag was for making a joke about GSC causing real world events to delay the release of S2. Second one was for telling someone they couldn't do certain things with bloodsuckers in S2 as a joke. Never even mentioned freedom

[golden hazel]

Bro the devs need to focus on making the game functional first

I have a question about faction relations after one of the main quest:

||After SIRCAA I went against ward , and malachite became unfriendly, it helped that I did side quest prior, still can access the base. Can I boost my rep by repetitive side missions , as in Stalker 1 you could see relations rep # .
Also would duty hate me too ?||

[low pebble]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hw26Xtjxlsc

[storm path]

Do you have troubles starting the game?

[golden hazel]

[storm path]

so it’s functional

||Legit I just used a guide to get back into the malachite base to trade and stuff and when I wanted to leave I just used the secret exit.||

[golden hazel]

STALKER 2 its one BIG ISSUE

[golden hazel]

The collar quest never fixed for me in my last playthrough, but it's probably a "you need a new save" fix

[clever sigil]

What did you do?

[narrow spear]

Not for me, I loaded my save and the bunker on wild island opened right up, and every quest was functional

[golden hazel]

I got all the collars and it still said I needed to get the collar in garbage

[clever sigil]

Rip

[golden hazel]

If the side quest wasn't filled with more lore I wouldn't care about it but holy shit more info about the leash program

[clever sigil]

The reward is nice

[narrow spear]

||That scientist hit me up with "you should like totally come back for a... reward" and istg I thought I was about to get collared and buttfucked by a snork in a gimp suit at first||

[rose venture]

Is there any way to stash that fancy loot you get in the intro before you lose it after waking up?

[golden hazel]

No

[narrow spear]

yes

[rose venture]

On jah?

[narrow spear]

on jah. I can either tell you how or let you figure it out.

[clever sigil]

Nah, you will ||have to kill 3 bloodsucker and that idiot, then you will get a gauss gun||

[rose venture]

I will save and reply to you if I don’t figure it out

[true yew]

I Initially thought that I could run the game at max settings, until they dropped the new spec requirements

[true yew]

Technically...

[golden hazel]

Yeah I already saw the quest and rewards trying to find a fix for it lmao, I just want the lore

[true yew]

but the way is so obvious I ain't telling ya

[clever sigil]

I feel like they dropped the new requirements after they got forced to use UE5 by Microsoft

[narrow spear]

Place your bets on secret revitalized XRay engine that was shot down halfway through development

[clever sigil]

Yeah, lore is nice, thats why I will ecentualy make a run for Spark. Someday in future

Is there someone who know how to get a door UID ? (i need to teleport Doc Kryvenko to me but teleport command didn't work, so i make it follow me but now i need him to cross a locked door)

I'm really glad they changed the HUD from what the 2023 leaked build had lol

[kindred rune]

Guys My game crashes alot how can i fix that ??

[tacit glacier]

Very minimalistic

[tacit glacier]

Nope. The game is fundamentally flawed in a way that requires TAA and its derivatives.
There is a lot of noise and jitter that can only be hidden with those AA methods. :v
Not blaming GSC though. The true culprits are the lazy devs that created the methods that rely on TAA as final post process.

[final brook]

saiga or spas?

[tall meadow]

wont say how it went but damn that was a good lil quest

[tall meadow]

i liked the saiga when i got it

was the logical upgrade to the pump you get

[final brook]

ye got the saiga, but just recieved a spas also, was wondering if either was better before i repair

guess ill qsave and try em out

[gilded verge]

@wanton arch this ui from leaked build is merely a placeholder

[clever sigil]

I had a huge fight between me(Ward) and the bandits there, followed by two bloodsuckers.

[silk lichen]

how do i get rid of this black stuff????

[clever sigil]

10/10 saiga, you have a magazine thats faster to reload and damage/armor pen are the same.

You even can find extended,coupled and drum magazines for it.

[gilded verge]

@final brook unfortunetely with current balance using SPAS is like shooting yourself in a foot

Saiga will save you more sanity

[timber igloo]

is it just me, or is the mouse acceleration and input lag still on after the patches? I have frame generation off, resulting is some 30-40 FPS, but the movement and aiming still feels incredibly floaty

[clever sigil]

Also changing ammo type is painfull with pump shotguns

Tho i like that they have the realistic animation for it

[gilded verge]

There is a dissonance between gameplay and animations

Skif fixing gun from jamming very.. calm

He even have a time to slowly move gun to have a last look on it before you can shoot

It's absolutely silly looking and even worse when it happens in gameplay

[versed flicker]

aw shit, let me just casually unjam my gun while getting shot at by 5 exos

[gilded verge]

Precisely

[versed flicker]

holding off on stalker 2 for now, gonna let the devs do more work on it before i go back to playing it

more mods will come out too

[gilded verge]

I am already burned out by it, it will take months for me to return

Exploring whole map and getting every stash was probably not the brightest idea of mine..

But hey, I got so much vodka and kolbasa with cans

[versed flicker]

im mostly annoyed by the random frame drops down to 5 fps, i did explore most of the places before heading to pripyat though

[gilded verge]

Totally worth my mental health

And this fucking track on Yanov..

It's worse than Brainscoarcher

[wanton arch]

I know I know, exploring the build at the moment since I played through all the endings of the released game. Super interesting to see how it was in development.

[narrow spear]

||Interesting, it seems if you visit the abandoned reactor (red fortress) there are still some active monolith||

[gilded verge]

Basically the game was absolutely not ready in 2022, even less ready in 2023

In all honesty what they did is either a miracle, or a huge crunch fest

[wanton arch]

Of course, im pretty sure they didnt start actual serious development until late 2020 or early 2021

[gilded verge]

Obviously the second option is true

People were probably living in office till the release day

It has to be the crunch of the year

I bet they were literally cutting down everything that was not ready or working

[narrow spear]

GodDAMN the air around the CNPP is spicy

[gilded verge]

They probably had big ambitions on A-LIFE 2.0 but limits of XBOX processing power brought them back to earth

[wanton arch]

In the release build the CNPP is physically built and you can walk around it out of bounds so its probably for a future DLC if not just cut content

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Qpnquuv3po&t=206s

[gilded verge]

Nah, it's just for the "redacted" ending

So it looks fine in the ending

Limansk is what was cut out and will be a DLC

Also Archive(Codex in PDA) and statistics

[glad socket]

Dlc? No shot I'm paying anything extra on this game

[gilded verge]

I am sure we all would like to know how many hundreds of Bloosuckers we have killed..

There is a reason this BS is on death screen

Make sense

[wanton arch]

that makes sense

[gilded verge]

I don't think that I have killed this many suckers even if I take whole 10 years of my time with stalker series

[wanton arch]

I wish GSC didnt brush off ultrawide as much as they did, mods help but the death screen is still scaled/cutoff incorrectly

[arctic pine]

just dont die lol

[gilded verge]

My dude, Bloodsucker on veteran with basic gear can drop you with 10% HP left

[gilded verge]

The fucking jumping sequence in Red Forest on the huge excavator can win you from 10 to 50 deaths depending on your sanity and luck

All for kolbasa, shitty gun 50% and vodka

[versed flicker]

the worst part of the huge excavator is the poltergeist, thats about it

[wanton arch]

I realized I have 113 mods installed on Stalker 2, is that too much lmao?

[final brook]

Thanks mate

[frigid rain]

I finally get to wild island and suddenly find this game boring, having trouble continuing my trip through the game. I think it is all this repair crap over and over again. I see the intent of the area as a test of endurance and reliance on multiple gear saved up but still it is just... boring. Fallout 4 with lots of mods can compete with this game and there is even exo mods too. The benefits of the artifact system are available in fallout 4 as well with legendary effects. The inventory is managed better in fallout 4 and I can carry more than five guns and a couple of outfits without being too heavy. I played gamma for a short while and I remember you can have different backpacks. Stalker 2 needs different backpacks and self repair options or a serious reduction in damage to gear and weapons at least.

[gilded verge]

Excuse me.. artefacts in F4?

[wanton arch]

assumingly mods

[final brook]

Ok I’ll stick to it!

[frigid rain]

yes they are called legendary effects on gear and weapons

[gilded verge]

I don't even know such mods exist

[frigid rain]

they are not mods

[gilded verge]

They made stalker on F4 base?

[frigid rain]

the wedding ring has 1 charisma bonus for example

[gilded verge]

Ah, this..

[frigid rain]

some guns have wounding effect

[clever sigil]

Its not a priority, Its your choice to use mostly unsoported hardware when it comes to new game releases.

[gilded verge]

So you made a comparison of artefact system with fallout perk system

[final brook]

I thought this game was too fkn easy even on veteran plus mods to make npc damage higher and I realised it was how OP even min resistance artifact is,

Just got a compass from cordon of all places, does it practically make you invincible?

[frigid rain]

yeah it is almost the same but not as fun as stalker 2

[versed flicker]

compass makes you a bullet sponge, kinda ruins the game for me

[gilded verge]

On veteran I was constantly eating medkits with 3 compasses on me

[versed flicker]

youre still very vulnerable to sausages flying at you at mach 5 though

[narrow spear]

Fellas. it's the zone. artifacts of immense power are going to be in the anomalous zone. you wouldn't have as much of an artifact market if all the artifacts were dogshit.

[gilded verge]

I guess it depends on who you are facing and how severely your gear is damaged

On 100% yes you are god, but the lower it gets..

And the Monochrome guys there is..

[frigid rain]

the spawns thing doesn't help either, clear out a sudden spawn and they respawn five seconds later ten feet further down the road

[gilded verge]

The lower it gets..

[wanton arch]

The game would probably run exponentially better if there was proper culling of models far away, the ue5 LOD system sucks ass

[gilded verge]

The spawner they are using was a desperation measure clearly

[final brook]

I had just the crown artifact or whatever it was called and could just eat bullets on veteran

[tall meadow]

*Once again with feeling *

[versed flicker]

bro has 77 energy drinks, gonna go on a marathon in the zone

[gilded verge]

Absolutely no one play tested it, clearly

@final brook only early game

[final brook]

As soon as I took it off I was taking double the damage

[clever sigil]

The game would be better if the Microsoft did not force them to switch to UE5 when most of the game was built on UE4.

[gilded verge]

It depends on what types of weapons NPCs are using

[wanton arch]

I'm sure they playtested it but probably just folded to the pressure of potentially delaying the game for a fourth time

[final brook]

Define early? I’m up to entering SIRCAA

[tall meadow]

same

[gilded verge]

How much pen they have

[wanton arch]

Real

[gilded verge]

@final brook that's very very early, get ready, you are about to enter the shit fest stagr of the game

[frigid rain]

wish I had not showed the pda to ward:-(

[gilded verge]

After SIRCAA shit is not the same

[clever sigil]

Love me the mod that makes enemies have guns with attachments.

[gilded verge]

Difficulty will skyrocket, spawns will be increased twice

[wanton arch]

I do too but it messes with the localization file unfortunately

[gilded verge]

And this is the first moment when you will need AP ammo for real

[final brook]

Oh wow so I should tone down my a life mod lol? Shitfest as in bad?

Kinda got lax with how easy it was getting with a VSS

[clever sigil]

Midgame after SIRCAA, everyone and their gradma has seva suit

[clever sigil]

Time for some mod merging

[frigid rain]

my tourist suit went to zero after wild island meet and greet

[gilded verge]

@final brook I have no idea how it works with mods

[final brook]

Yeah I’ve played gamma etc plenty and when you’re up against dudes in exos fmj does nothing

[wanton arch]

The only thing it wont properly merge with is the Real Weapon Names mod, thats my only gripe

[gilded verge]

Same shit in S2

[clever sigil]

That would be the late/endgame

[final brook]

I haven’t acquired one of those yet

[clever sigil]

Everyone has exosuit.

[gilded verge]

There'll be a lot of pain without AP ammo after SIRCAA

[final brook]

Yeah I’ve been saving all of mine for multiple weapons

[gilded verge]

I don't want to spoil it, just saying difficulty will skyrocket and you're gonna feel that with your ass

[versed flicker]

reticle off, veteran difficulty, maklane's better zone, less consumable in stashes, crates, nps, world and a-life extended is 100% needed for me to enjoy stalker 2

[wanton arch]

I wonder how intricate mods will get with the release of the SDK, currently the most advanced mods are model/texture/sound replacers, config edits and light mod loader/ue4ss scripts.

[final brook]

That’s fine, I like a challenge, gamma was fkn brutal early before you got your first real gun

[versed flicker]

otherwise itll feel too easy with the amount of consumables you find

[final brook]

I’ve got all that minus the reticle, still stockpiled over 100 medkits lol

[wanton arch]

Heart of Misery is absolutely brutal https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/670

[versed flicker]

i dont really loot ammo other than AP ones too

gunplay's great, hopefully modders will make it even better

[wanton arch]

I wonder how feasible it will be to get a co-op mod working after the multiplayer release

[gilded verge]

That'll require 2 years

[wanton arch]

Maybe lol, Hogwart's legacy got one within a year of release despite it being on UE4

[gilded verge]

I mean, MP will take them 2 years to bring it to the game

[wary orbit]

says who?

[gilded verge]

Says steam, because they have to deliver first DLC in 1 year

And it's not MP

[wary orbit]

nope read the steam page, says nothing alike

[gilded verge]

That's a rule of steam

If developers taking money for non existing DLC, they are obliged to steam to make it real in 1 year

If not, refund policy will be used

[clever sigil]

Here is first dlc. Working A-Live 2.0

[wary orbit]

and what makes you think those dlc are not already ready to ship?

[gilded verge]

Have you seen the fucking game?!

What is there to ship lol

[wary orbit]

yes and DLCs have nothing to do with that

[clever sigil]

Well the dlc locations Are finished.

Mostly finished.

[gilded verge]

They still need to fix this mess first, before moving to DLC

[wary orbit]

all i read is speculation that is not based on any factual proof

so you lost my interest

[clever sigil]

looks at EA games

No they dont

[gilded verge]

Steam gives them only one year to bring DLC

[wary orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/minions-blah-blah-blah-roll-eyes-eyeroll-whatever-gif-16216173

[clever sigil]

And? There are already DLC assets in the game, like the map 3 locations.

[ember ether]

who up stalking their stalks

[clever sigil]

Like, are you thinking that all devs work on fixing the game code? Or why can't they work on multiple things at once?

[gilded verge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/1gw3ug3/steam_is_getting_proper_season_passes_support_all/

@clever sigil Because they were unable to work on one thing, I should expect them to be able to work on multiple? Is that how it works?

[clever sigil]

Are you like still at school that you dont know how companies work?

You have teams that work on different things.
Electricians, Mechanics, IT, Operators, etc.

With game devlovment Its the same.
You have programmers, artists, writers, people who focus on audio, etc.

[gilded verge]

I am a customer and I am looking at the result, that doesn't deserve "defence"

[clever sigil]

And they already said they have separate team working just on fixing the a-live

Meanwhile se already got 3 patches fixing over 1000 issues.

[gilded verge]

Game is undercooked and will require multiple patches to deliver what was intended

[clever sigil]

Artist whose job Is to make animations and map assets will not be moved to team that is fixing the code.

Thus they can both work on DLC content and fixing the game

Thus your point is invalid.

[gilded verge]

You mean, they can create assets for DLC content

But those who are suppose to code it, will still work on patches to fix this mess non the less

[clever sigil]

Yeah but you dont have one team of coders.

[gilded verge]

And who knows for how long

[clever sigil]

And they have their "expertise"

[gilded verge]

I have seen their "expertise" in game

[clever sigil]

If you have someone who is really good at making guns work, then you will let them work on guns for new content instead of making them fix something that was done by different team.

[gilded verge]

How to unsee it..

[clever sigil]

Basically you are just looking for an argument that does not exist.

[narrow spear]

Damn lotsa bitchin in the chat this morning

[tacit glacier]

That's because afaik LOD's are handled by nanite

[clever sigil]

Yeah, gotta do something when there is no work at the office. Def beats looking out of a window.

[gilded verge]

And nanite sucks to good old lods from OG series

Which is absolutely hilarious

[clever sigil]

Lets be honest almost everything about the UE5 sucks.

You can create stuff fast but you will die trying to optimize it

[narrow spear]

I think that for what UE5 is, they did a fantastic job with a shitty engine.

[clever sigil]

I am just happy there is no busyhands xD

[gilded verge]

Man, say whatever you want, but light and shadows of Clear Sky are 2 steps ahead of Lumen and Nanite BS

That's just hard facts

[clever sigil]

They def are.

On that we can agree, both lumen and Nanite suck and use way too much resources for they results the give.

[narrow spear]

I'll agree with you and say that sharp shadows look 100x better than soft shadows

[clever sigil]

There is a paralel universe, where Microsoft let them stay at UE4.

[narrow spear]

There's another universe where S2 was released in 2012 on the Xray engine

[tacit glacier]

Just don't try jumping on a ladder with a detector out

[wanton arch]

Theres a good universe where GSC bought a Source 2 license from valve and developed Stalker 2 on it

[gilded verge]

That would be a strange universe ngl

[misty bone]

hey guys, i have 50 mods and my game crashes like crazy, especially when I open the inventory, what to do ? 😭

[clever sigil]

That sounds like Fun.

[tacit glacier]

Imagine the mods.

THE MODS

[quick iron]

Well it depends. If they work in Agile teams then those are small teams with different kind of folks working on particular things from backlog

[wanton arch]

Birch nude mod first hour of release

[tacit glacier]

If your definition of fun is bouncing off the ladder and falling to your death because you need to hide your detector first before grabbing a ladder
True busy hands moment

[clever sigil]

Oh god no. The rendering in Source 2 is made only for games like Coutner Strike or TF2 but it would not work for game like stalker 2.

[tacit glacier]

The hands, that were actually busy

Have you seen Half-Life Alyx?

I'd say you could make a stalker game on that

[clever sigil]

Not open world one like this

[tacit glacier]

Note that I said "a stalker game"
Not "the stalker game"

[wanton arch]

Source 2 actually supports open world environments unlike it's predecessor, apparently you can make nearly 1:1 earth sized maps in s&box

[clever sigil]

Unless they changed it, the rendering of Source engine needs you to define rooms. And it then render in the room you are in and the rooms you have a line of sight with.

It was a miracle they made that Battle royale mode work on it.

[tacit glacier]

[clever sigil]

So they did change it

[gilded verge]

Honestly I don't like Zone without separation of locations

Doesn't work for me

And in itself Zone is no longer a mistery

[wanton arch]

STALKER "backports" to source 1 are possible too but incredibly downsized lol

Monolith forgive him for what he’s about to do.

[clever sigil]

||Ward: you went to the zone to get funds to get new home, ward ending is the only one where you achieve your goal. The Zone is Gone, SIRCAA managed to make clean and direct connection to noosohere. The screens at end are showing the power of Noosphere to tap the minds of all humans, hard to tell if they will go with the brwinwashing humanity, but everything suggests that they are oposed to the idea.||

[gilded verge]

||You might ask who the hell are Regulatory Board - they were behind all the funds for Project X. And they never needed the Zone nor anything else||

[clever sigil]

||yeah, zone was never the plan from the start, nor was brwinwashing people, thats what C-Con came up with. And zone was accident made by the doc. ||

@gilded verge know what? How about we take this into DMs?

[gilded verge]

||The Zone was created because bunch of scientiests who were put there by Regulatory Board to direct and superwise all X labs, decided to go rogue against Regulatory Board plans and take this power all to themselves for the greater good, to contact with Noosphere to remove dark sides of humanity nature. And during incident they created the Zone in a worst possible place on the Earth.||

Oh...

[royal estuary]

I'm working on a new mod. I need your help!
Mod idea: Make veteran mode something like "survival". The zone is not a place to walk. And each foray is a challenge for which you need to prepare.
Mod goals: Rebalance, more realistic, more hardcore, more interesting. Adding new things.
Needs: Currently, we need people who are interested in the idea of ​​the mod and want to join its development, either through testing or even direct modification of the files. I will listen to any comments and take them into account, if they are lore-friendly I will try to implement the ideas. That is, the mod is being developed through community modding. So write comments here, or in private! I will be very happy.
What's ready? Currently, some rebalancing has been done that needs to be tested and possibly adjusted. In parallel, other parts are being developed.

**Let's make a cool mod for "Heart of Chernobyl" together! **
**Let's give the zone a challenge! **
(Everyone who participates will be mentioned in the "co-authors" of the mod)

||Nate is extremely insistent that the Ward ending doesn't end with them having the ability to mind control everyone in the world at will, even though it very clearly shows that.||

[stable quarry]

||I'd argue Scars is the saddest. Scar seems to have become so empathetic and broken over the years that he needs the concept of life after death in order to accept the losses he's dealt with. He's in extreme mourning and regret over the people he cared for who have died.||

uh oh iedy started gooning here as well

Prowler meme, stalker version(?)

No i am saying that it was never their intention from start. And nothing suggests they will do it

Yet you are insistent on that ending ||having everyone brainwashed||

Yet that was only the goal of the ||C-Con||

||and as its known the C-Con was made from rogue scientists||

[warped monolith]

the folks talking to skif ain't angels either

[true yew]

Was referring to his height, but true

[warped monolith]

weird, the npcs I was talking to seemed to be the same height

actually everyone seemed to be the same height

I haven't played much though

[true yew]

Everyone would seem to be the same height if you're short/tall enough

[warped monolith]

same height as him, I meant

[clever sigil]

Its the exosceletons

They make everyone look same

[warped monolith]

I didn't play far enough to meet guys wearing exoskeletons

[clever sigil]

No but honestly, Its not big issue, they dont have to deal with making animations for multiple sizes

[true yew]

Met Jag, seemed about to be the same height, but the others seem taller (esp ones with cutscenes)

Is it possible to have high reputation among most/all stalkers?

[clever sigil]

Yes

[true yew]

Hmm, should be worthwhile

[clever sigil]

Basically doing the quests gives a bit of rep each time, so does helping the faction members in the field. Killing their faction members takes the rep away.

How does it manage to look like complete dogshit on epic settings I can’t figure it out

[clever sigil]

Take care out there, Stalker.

Stalker GAMMA here I come blin

As soon as I figure out how to mod Call of Pripyat 💀💀💀

Stalker 2 worth?

Wish that they would bring back some of the old charms by that time

[rose venture]

I tried literally everything, TAA, TSR, FAA, DLSS, XeSS, all the popular engine ini’s, all my different graphics card settings, game settings on low, medium, high, epic, no matter what the lighting issue persists, I’ve even done three reinstalls. It bugs me so much, I would prefer potato fallout 3 graphics if the lighting would just be stable

[true yew]

Could be just my nostalgia tho

[clever sigil]

Lumen being Lumen

[rose venture]

Can I delete lumen from existence?

[wary orbit]

you want nostalgia? Go hunt boar in Cordon.

[true yew]

What lighting issue?

[clever sigil]

What are your specs? @rose venture

[true yew]

There is a placebo in settings

[clever sigil]

Someone here did, with some old-ish graphic card

@icy bough

[icy bough]

[clever sigil]

They did

Could ask them for help

[rose venture]

RTX 4070, 32GB RAM, 13th gen Intel i7, it’s a decent PC

[icy bough]

This is not a small change though. Are you sure you are willing to sacrifice all the lightings from the game ?

[wary orbit]

Does anyone still have a CRT lying around? I want to go full oldscool with my next playthrough

[icy bough]

what the fuck why do you need to remove lumen then

[rose venture]

this is what I mean

I hate it!

[icy bough]

increase the shadow quality maybe ?

[rose venture]

SIRCAA building clip is on all epic settings

[icy bough]

weird

[rose venture]

If I could just figure out how to fix that I would be so golden fr

[wary orbit]

reflections off, shadows max. DLSS DLAA, reflections in game are just bad and well shadows are a close second

[true yew]

Looks like anisotropic filtering or the post-processing
If not, then idk

[rose venture]

I will try all of these things again

I haven’t tried turning reflections off and keeping the shadows good, I think I already tried the anisotropic filtering and post-processing but as part of lowering/raising other stuff

[rose venture]

You think I should turn them off?

[true yew]

Nvm, I meant anti-aliasing. Increasing it could smoothen the jagged edges

I confused the two

[rose venture]

Oh I got that at max brotherman, and I’ve tried it off and low too

This is a real head scratcher fr

[true yew]

Truly an anomaly

[rose venture]

I wonder if it’s a driver issue

Maybe if I roll back before the game ready driver for stalker?

[short wren]

Sometimes I have the same issue too

[rose venture]

I’m almost convinced it’s endemic to patch 1.0.3

[short wren]

It might be cause the Nvidia app said there's a driver ready to be installed

[tall pecan]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/240

Check engine.ini and adjust for your liking, it has fixes for both

[warped monolith]

https://youtu.be/djegiffvsTU?si=HN0om3MxT0s0VZNA

[rose venture]

I will try this as well, maybe the slavs know stalker best

[tall pecan]

Shadow fix will affect performance tho just fyi

[rose venture]

My performance isn’t a worry thankfully

[clever sigil]

How does the game look at night and under the ground?

[icy bough]

whatever the day time is
if its day time everywhere is day time
if its night time everywhere is night time

[clever sigil]

Ye but how does it look like without lumen

[icy bough]

inside building on day time

[tall pecan]

I think this should be included in game settings, it is shame we have Minecraft ass looking shadows in 2024 ue5 game

[tall pecan]

Oh... It looks like mobile pubg...

How come there's no 7.62×39 aks in the game?

[rose venture]

The AK-74 is a different gun from the AK-47 :3

[wary orbit]

https://tenor.com/view/nein-doch-ohh-gif-21477283

[short wren]

Yeah but the ak 47 is iconic and I kinda expected it to be in the game since chernobyl happened when the Soviet union was still in power

[wary orbit]

Yeah but the relevant incident happened in 2006 not in 1986

[rose venture]

The 47 isn’t really all that common nowadays, I don’t think, everyone switched over to the 74s in the 80s

[wary orbit]

and last i checked the USSR was gone in 2006

[short wren]

Lame

[rose venture]

There SHOULD be an Ak-47 in the game though

[short wren]

Still new to the game so I'm not sure what exactly happened in the trilogy

[rose venture]

Maybe as a unique weapon

[rose venture]

Basically the rest of the world is just our world, except the chernobyl exclusion zone

[wary orbit]

I'm sure there is an AK-47 somewhere in garbage if you dig long and deep enough.

[short wren]

Also how come there isn't modern computers in the zone? I'm curious cause I've been noticing how old the computers and laptops are

[rose venture]

I asked myself the same question, no clue

[short wren]

And ik the game takes place beyond 2011 cause of a pda

[rose venture]

It takes place in 2022

[short wren]

Oh

[rose venture]

My headcanon is that Stalker and Metro are in the same universe and I ignore anything that says otherwise :)

[wary orbit]

We had Watchers in Gamma

[warped monolith]

'doch' is the ultimate 'no u'

That so sick, I have GOT to play GAMMA already

[shadow sedge]

i kinda like strugling to find the stash and then getting fuked by little loot

[warped monolith]

love ppl wanting to cheat the game because they want every stash to have a gun or armor

[shadow sedge]

im playing vanilla first and then ill mod

[warped monolith]

[shadow sedge]

def gonna lower certian mutant hp and change ballistics and some other stuff. but it would make it easier. so im holding off on that till i 100% it

we need stalker dif back. like let me die in 2-3 shots but also kill in 2-3 shots. and lower mutant hp but some mutants will one tap u

cause even on veteran i feel like i can get shot like 20x

[cursive nebula]

Would anyone know how to hoist a dead body up a ladder for loot gremlin reasoning

[shadow sedge]

Did they fold Dark Valley into Garbage in S2

[wary orbit]

yes

[plain hedge]

ahh, kinda sad about that, but at least it's there
was surprised to see it so early

[clever sigil]

to be fair they were right next to each other

[plain hedge]

I mean, sorta, they were parallel
odd to see them in this new layout

[plain hedge]

omg

so they rotated the map some

[clever sigil]

like their locations in the new map really close to the trilogy, unlike army warehouse and brain scorcher xD

[clever sigil]

a little, yeah. the north of garbage is new, atleast i dont remember it being in any of the maps.

[wary orbit]

garbage ended shortly after the fleamarket and the checkpoint leading to Rostok

Hi guys, I have a question, not about Gamma, but about Stalker 2, has anyone had problems with FPS drops after patch 1.0.3? Do you know if there are solutions?

i use google translate, sorry

i wonder where this bridge might lead ||Limansk||

[wary orbit]

Limansk

i think

[clever sigil]

most likely dlc location

kinda wish that train tunel was connected and not a radiation trap

[wanton arch]

its the game taking revenge on the clusterfuck abusers

[plain hedge]

what do y'all think of this https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/837?tab=files

[tight spire]

why does stalker 2 have a death counter ? it drives me insane

[pliant sigil]

Because it’s telling you to git gud. most of my deaths were from gravity being a harsh mistress

[peak eagle]

To show how many times you died trying to do a puzzle

died like 10 times off cooling towers jump cause it didn't render in the bouncy anomalies fast enough

[tight spire]

same,most of them where in the arena s last fight or fall dmg xD

[tacit hedge]

Nice

[tacit hedge]

I do the opposite in order to be in modding from the first days.

Later will play vanilla, on second playthrough.

[sharp pendant]

50 of my 100ish deaths were that fucking excavator jumping challenge

I just wish I could change the death screen picture to the My Summer Car newspaper

[plain hedge]

I think if it was balanced correctly, it'd be a 1:20 RNG kinda thing where maybe you'll get something good

finding ammo and food every single time sucks, a gun or attachment or armor or artifact would spice it up a bit

I wanted to play the game vanilla, but it feels broken

I really think it needs rebalancing to the weapons and mutants if nothing else, and a few QoL fixes with being able to vault over stuff that the game clearly wants you to

[warped monolith]

I really don't think stalkers would realistically stash anything that valuable

[plain hedge]

The Shah did 😎

I think maybe if they found something better and were waiting to sell the old one to someone who really needed it, they'd keep it hidden somewhere

Did people generally prefer to ||loot or preserve Bubbs's body||?

[warped monolith]

I know there's some preset stashes containing guns but haven't seen anything with armor suits or artifacts

[peak eagle]

in Lesser Zone? I just haul the body there

[plain hedge]

lolll

His reactions were so fucking hilarious, just across the board, I had to see every possibility
He reminded me of Jacksepticeye

[native pecan]

Hey I’ve just passed the point of no return but made a ton of hard saves; I’ll be able to reload them after I finish right????

[peak eagle]

There's some corpses out in the world that has an active artifact usually by their body, one time thing tho

[plain hedge]

Is that what that is? I keep finding them

Also is it normal for ||the poltergeist to respawn under the Ribs||?

[peak eagle]

There's also scanners you can do, the same one you get from Hermann at the start of the game for guaranteed artifacts

[plain hedge]

It was throwing shit at me while I ran through the area

[native pecan]

Sorry to interrupt anyone know the answer to this? It’s stressing me out lol

[peak eagle]

Haven't gotten to the end yet but if its any other modern video game, completing it will bring you to just before the no return point

[mossy delta]

Nope, final save is just before the last cutscene, but I would assume any previous save should be loadable.

[shadow frost]

Only Grok can save Stalker 2

I wonder if Stalker 2 is gonna get an anomaly-like gamemode like officially done by gsc

[warped monolith]

unlikely but I'd love a free-roam sandbox mode

[subtle sun]

I mean when the dev kit thing gets released, i can definetly sense someone making anomaly for stalker 2

[river lintel]

I was saying the other day that if gsc baked in a sandbox it would make modding stuff like that way easier

[subtle sun]

i mean, if they do, its probably gonna take a long time. I'd expect it would be around the same time multiplayer gets released

[wary orbit]

I don't think its too complicated to do. Remove all story content. open all areas fill them with working A-life and give us the option to either start in a faction or just make us default loner. done

[subtle sun]

im saying this cuz i kinda got bored of playing stalker 2. I already finished the game 3 times. redownloading gamma rn

the game is cool, graphics look fantastic, story is fire but man is it boring sometimes

mostly cuz of the lack of alife and the replayability something like anomaly has

[warped monolith]

they'd have to add progression and dialogue for all other factions
remove all story-based triggers
add player starts for each faction
and probably create some new scripts for shit to happen within the sandbox so it's not just the same as refusing to advance the story

[subtle sun]

also probably add more diverse side quests and stuff

[wary orbit]

and player housing and mutant breeding

[subtle sun]

mutant breeding

[wary orbit]

[quartz stratus]

Anyone else pulling their hair out trying to get nights to look good on their OLED screen?

No matter what I do, either the interiors are too dark or the outdoors are too bright. And there’s this phenomenon that drives me crazy - when you go indoors and look outside. It looks like it’s daylight outside? Then you walk outside and there’s this jarring dimming effect.

Drives me nuts and I wish it just looked like CoP

[river lintel]

I think it would be relatively doable and quick with the sdk

[wary orbit]

lighting is crap. the inside looking out thing is the most jarring

apart from that console players can't deal with nights that are really dark.

#MicrosoftKnowsBest

[haughty sierra]

Reminder that Anomaly Together is a dogshit scam and whoever believes it might as well buy the Hawk Tuah coin

[finite needle]

They did in CoP and it was pointless tbh, you could stay after the end and achieve absolutely nothing becasue a-life isn't really adding anything by itself

[river lintel]

That bad?

[haughty sierra]

first of all , the access to the "mod" is locked behind their patreon , so you need to pay to get access to it

but it's not released yet and in testing so you will get access to it when it's done

I really wish they’d just follow what Dying Light did and just give you the option of having dark nights or not

Plus an option of cranking up a-life for those of us with PCs that can handle it (I’m delusional)

[river lintel]

That would be a nice feature

[wary orbit]

my hope is that the SDK will become the antidote to many of our ailments

[river lintel]

I mean? Yeah it would be with enough time

[wary orbit]

i just fear that some of the problems are baked into the game like lighting issues.

[river lintel]

Oh, yeah. Remember to this day new vegas has PITCH BLACK nights so 🤷

Also, armor stags summoning a half dozen animals to kill your ass is actually scary

[subtle sun]

my keyboard stopped working lol

[wary orbit]

i'm sure thats just a script though

[white moat]

[subtle sun]

yall haters just cuz some random youtuber told you to be

"hurrr durrr s2 is ass cuz it is hurr durr"

I played for like 40 hours

[wary orbit]

why

[white moat]

I found the game to be less fun every single hour till eventually my save got corrupted

so don’t lump me with the others plz 😔

[wary orbit]

Its hard to do so when your first message is "is the game good yet"

[late kernel]

I played through the game blind without watching a single guy playing the game until my save got corrupted because of the weird bolt, and I think STALKER 2 is an early access game disguised as a fully released game

[abstract furnace]

one of the guys that frequents the gamma vc is always yapping about how he's suing gsc for false advertisement of stalker 2 and how he's a superior game dev

biggest ego i've witnessed since keemstar

[quartz stratus]

I’m sorta in the same boat…loved the game initially but as I get deeper in I’m feeling less compelled to continue. Story and gameplay are good but between performance issues, graphical glitches, screwy economy and total lack of dynamic a-life encounters, I’m considering shelving it for a while until they figure things out a bit.

I still have a lot of story left and I think I’d rather wait to experience that for the first time once some of the things that bug me the most are fixed

[frozen flame]

17 more to go

[uncut gorge]

🚨🚨SPOILER WARNING🚨🚨

Upon discovering that SIRRCA has obtained the Wish Granter/Monolith, and it tragically “assuming direct control” of Strider and Noontide.

The sheer atmosphere of the zone changed. You feel this rush of dread and urgency, that Monolith is sweeping the zone on an unstoppable scale. You hear and feel everyones terror as sector after sector is decimated.

Hats off to GSC for this. They pulled off a truely gripping turn of events!

Psi-emissions tricked me

My Hilka went off and I ran up to it near wild island till I could get to 30, pulled out my bear to zero in on it

Suddenly 1 artifact spawned, then 2, then 3, then 4, then 5 and then sudddenly i was being eviscerate by psi emission monsters

rly thought for a second I had somehow managed to get three artifacts out of one anomaly

[warped monolith]

[sour narwhal]

So far...

[cunning shuttle]

exactly where i'm at with the game currently

[abstract furnace]

the npcs in this game are brain dead

[sour narwhal]

Need some a-life tweaks, I use Shay's with wool's adjustments

[cunning shuttle]

that is all because the way they have the lighting configured, the global illumination isn't taking into proper account the amount of light that outside light should be contributing indoors, making any sort of interior space so dark you need your flashlight on to see well. this then causes the problem of any windows looking far too bright because the eye adaptation effect has to adjust so heavily to the dark interior spaces

and then on top of that, night time is way brighter than real life even on the clearest night with a full moon shining, so the lighting still looks like near-daytime when looking out through windows from interiors at night

If you think Stalker 2's weight system is punishing wait until you play with the old games' weight system

[warped monolith]

Nothing beats Witcher 2's restrictive weight limit

it's the only game I felt the need to mod infinite carry weight for my second playthrough

I honestly never had issues with the Witcher 3 carry weight

But 90 kg when your kit weighs 40 is punishing

hopefully GSC is listening to feedback (and is capable of acting on it) because i don't think fixing that particular problem would even take that much work. it's mostly about fine tuning what's already in place

Carmel in Hebrew means garden or orchard. If you get hit by it you will end up in sort of a garden so i guess its fitting?

really? Not even when playing SoC, CS or CoP?

[tender bramble]

No not even. lol. I could get over the nade spam and shit there.

This game had some seriously bad balance and scripts. Like pseudos in those small rooms geeze. But that final fight against Granite. I was getting headshot by Guass rifles through the walls constantly

gauss is one shot anywhere tho, less effort

literally one of the granite rushed me at one point doing this and i cried for mercy lol

i know. but in gamma if i recall correctly there are traders who pay a lot for pdas

I rushed the shit out of Granite because Commander Charon didn't train no bitch

[tender bramble]

hmmm maybe i was hitting the psi shield sometimes then because it didnt one shit every time. the whip was though.

one of my attempts against granite i killed all of them from the top platform and was like "ok cool were done" only to be 3 shotted by gauss rifles from the top balcony
