[tall pecan]

Was he one of the monolith squads we find in Yaniv

[royal mural]

tbh for now that is the average stalker fan

[tacit glacier]

Defacto leader of the freed Monolithian squad you could help get into Duty or Freedom

[golden hazel]

[covert eagle]

This is a real stalker and I salute him

[royal mural]

[royal mural]

remember you salute the rank not the person

[tall pecan]

You all i put thousand hours into CoP when i was child but 90% of that time i was looting every walking thing

[covert eagle]

I salute who I want, stalker

[tacit glacier]

You could take him on the expedition to Pripyat through the tunnels, too

[covert eagle]

For instance, right now I salute these nuts, not the rank

[royal mural]

dont take it as a what is the word uncompliment

[covert eagle]

When do I get to post my irl stalker fit

[royal mural]

i was not hating on you goddamn my engrish

[tall pecan]

Oh this guy is that guy huh

[tall pecan]

Got you it is ok

[royal mural]

i will never forget watching strelok fight through the tunnel on my pda sweating is he gonna make it the first time i played the game

[tall pecan]

Wait Strelok was on the expedition too? i only remember the guy with PKM

[royal mural]

i dont remember the exact mission i think you prepared for streloks arrival and then he had to make it to you

[lyric harbor]

has anyone came across any mods needing updating with todays patch?

[tacit glacier]

He wasn't part of the expedition.

He just showed up in the laundromat one day and then you had to keep him alive when going for evac

[royal mural]

im merging mods rn i can tell you when im ingame if you want

@lyric harbor #╓☢stalker2™-chat-not-gamma-keep-waiting message could take some time

[tall pecan]

What was the lore reason that we had to use tunnel underground to reach Pripyat? Why not walk from Yaniv like a normal person

[tacit glacier]

tbf the 1.1.3 patch was mostly fixes and disabling shader warmup

[royal mural]

wait i dont have to disable it myself anymore?

[tacit glacier]

Yep, for now
It's a temporary workaround

Because shader comp kept crashing

[pastel crag]

is Doctor in stalker 2 a Retroactive continuity?

[royal mural]

ahh ok problem was i locked my game in 1.1.1 so i just was extra careful and for savety i reinstall my mods now

[royal mural]

i wish they would finally make it so shader compiling actually saves the shaders so you get a performance change

here is an accurate example of stalker 2s shader compileing

damn i just noticed even the sweat on his forhead is reflectish

goddamn i dig those reflections https://i.imgur.com/uGeeJUJ.jpeg

[royal mural]

ok wow im really not the brightest candle on the cake https://i.imgur.com/gFRIZbH.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/Iho3FOU.jpeg i never thought about looking back there

[fallow pivot]

I just disabled shader comp so I dont have to go through that BS after the 1st time.

[royal mural]

well good thing the new patch disabled it

[fallow pivot]

Good.

[royal mural]

i have no clue how shaders work in ue5 but is it really so hard to just save the compiled shaders that the game can use them so you dont have to load "all" shaders while playing?

shouldnt that already boost performance?

[fiery cove]

Can someone help me, which graphic setting effects this 'grainy/noisy' look at object at long that are bit further away, i got my draw distance at high and most visual stuf at high too

[royal mural]

do you use upscaling and if what kind

do you use ini modifications

[hexed warren]

Im done with stalker 2 until serious performance increase. I get 45-50 fps in most situations but then the game randomly decides to shit itself and give me 15-20 fps. Its unplayable.

[undone olive]

damn, after the update the game worked fine, but suddenly whenever I open the inventory (diectly, stash, traders) I hear the weapon being put away/equiped in a loop and it breaks mouse over for items... any ideas what could be causing this?

[royal mural]

#╓☢stalker2™-chat-not-gamma-keep-waiting message could it be that? scroll and read alittle bit what he wrote and do what he said if thats your issue

[royal mural]

maybe thats the best

They say the mission where you look for Squint to get the Ward sensors back is woke itself as well.

Your game looks fucking old man, what mod?

[royal mural]

getting armor upgrade before finishing tutorial is wild

[tacit glacier]

Just don't grab it before the cutscene that removes your gear

[royal mural]

can you rephrase i have no clue what you mean

[fallow pivot]

bruh lol

[true yew]

It looks like og stalker

[royal mural]

well im a gamer for long enough to know my loopholes https://i.imgur.com/aeEVQm4.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/ZpIzaNO.jpeg

[fallow pivot]

Looks like regular S2 for me.

[tacit glacier]

tfw it still removes some of the items

[royal mural]

only the m4 and quest items

[true yew]

Lemme guess, they say Quiet is woke?

[tacit glacier]

Quest in general, somehow

[fallow pivot]

The moment they see the black loners around the zone, they'll definitely call woke.

[royal mural]

well tbh anything that is woke related or has the word woke in it ever been factual or made sense?

[fallow pivot]

Or the female vendors

[tacit glacier]

Honestly I think it has to be a bot at this point. It seems like it's a popular thing to comment "WOKE" on shit even if its not remotely woke

[royal mural]

dont you dare bring mommy harpy into this

[royal mural]

can you narrow it down to specifics i still cant follow this is stalker 2 kek

[fallow pivot]

Stash placements in this game are 10/10.

LOVE that not every damn stash is marked on your map. The satisfaction of being able to follow clues and the payoff of getting uniques is something else.

[bold leaf]

Guys, advise what mods to install for a better game

[royal mural]

yes

Maklanes overhaul and better npc loadouts, at least

[tacit glacier]

Does it really matter anyway.
By end game every single stalker seems to have an exoskeleton

[royal mural]

use the mod npc loadout progression and they get mixed

[royal mural]

must be a perfect start

[wanton arch]

What a head start holy shit

[royal mural]

i need to test if the value mod merge worked give me an artefact to look for values ingame

which one you said was the best

thunderberry right?

[undone olive]

yep, that fixed it.

[royal mural]

well damn i forgot to change the cfg again https://i.imgur.com/R07xz9F.png

it should show 2 decimals like before goddamnit

[true yew]

Ngl, would prefer this over the weak,medium,strong,max stat descs

[tacit glacier]

Wait tf is an XY key?

Did I miss it in my inventory?

[sonic reef]

bruh what the fuck is that, do they have two fingers forehead or sum

anything is woke 🦜

if youre awake youre woke

[tacit glacier]

I mean tbf I dunno they might be onto something with telling people speaking Russian to stop being woke. (For legal reasons this is a joke)

[lavish pelican]

Bought the game this morning, had to pause the download at 90% so I wouldn't be late for work. When I got home I thought I'd just take a shower while it downloaded the rest. But Steam said no.

[tacit glacier]

How much does it have to download?

[lavish pelican]

All of it.

[torpid relic]

whut

[tacit glacier]

GB's. I need GB's

[lavish pelican]

136 GB

[fallow pivot]

8GB i think

[tacit glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/that70s-show-kitty-drinks-drinking-day-chill-gif-16669162

[fallow pivot]

136GB was 1.1.2. 1.1.3 is just around 7-8GB.

[lavish pelican]

Maybe the patch this morning did something. I'm no brainiac but I'm willing to blame Father Christmas for this.

[fallow pivot]

The moment I touched a grav anomaly, my game crashed lol

[fiery cove]

I thought enemies teleporting behind you was fixed with Alife2 being enabled ingame now?

[fallow pivot]

Nope. Not fully. Still a bubble system. Only now some NPCs go into offline, but when you get close to their vicinity/bubble in offline, they spawn

[tacit glacier]

136GB is base game
110GB was 1.1
1.1.1 was 10mb
1.1.2 was 10gb

[fallow pivot]

after you pick up the documents from ||ahroprom|| and on your way out, i had to climb up a ladder. There was an entire 8 man squad of monolith right above that ladder. Idk how i survived.

[torpid relic]

these are most likely scripted spawns

[tacit glacier]

Pretty much similar situation as when playing Shadow of Chernobyl and running into Military

[fiery cove]

well, they happened after i passed the gate, explored the gatehouse and as i get in the middle of base, 3 enemies spawned around that house

[torpid relic]

i assume thats the first mission to sneak into the sphere right? idk if they fixed that one but its heavily scripted in terms of spawns

[fiery cove]

yeah, same place. i didnt realize i have to walk outside it

[fallow pivot]

Doesnt matter.

Even in open areas outside of missions, the 80-100m bubble is still there.

[fiery cove]

insdie the base before the soldier spawn, there were like 5 flashers roaming around

[fallow pivot]

Except they dont just spawn behind you now. They spawn around you. Including directly infront of you.

lots of A-life mods are struggling with bypassing that distance spawn setting. previously they could spawn enemies past 150m. Now for some reason its being overwritten.

[torpid relic]

yup, the render distacne for AI is insanely low, aswell as the LOD distnace beeing super inconsitent

[fiery cove]

well i try to play without saving and loading all the time, and be more careful with scouting and everything... but this kinda kills it, if it almost doesnt matter if check ahead

oh and enemies super speed slide through walls infront of me fun

[tall pecan]

Do these two buildings exist in the stalker 2? I saw the first one in one of the trailer but no idea about the other one

[wary orbit]

They will always exist in our hearts

[sage wolf]

One more day of stupid work then stalker holiday grind 😈

[rose haven]

The right one looks like a mix between that scientist base in the west of the map and the big trader base in the middle of the map

Judging from the artifical lake with an anomaly in it and the big looking destructive anomaly

[wary orbit]

right one should be jupiter and its not in yet

[tall pecan]

You mean Malachite? I think they exist in SoC and CS as different place

[sage wolf]

Can I get an in lore reason why Skif is so fucking inept at moving in water

[rose haven]

Yeah malachite

[tall pecan]

SKEEFA I CAN'T SWIM

[sage wolf]

He might not be able to swim, but thankfully ankle deep water doesn’t require swimming 🤣

[tall pecan]

Wait i thought you meant Scar

I'm blind

[sage wolf]

I’ve done the Skif/scar thing a few times don’t worry

Those floating electric ball anomalies that chase you around are so fucking annoying bro XD I swear

[wary orbit]

@tall pecan right one is jupiter if my eyes don't decieve me and that in yet un accessable areas

[tall pecan]

Yeah it is Jupiter plant

[wary orbit]

its where the poop pipe is

[sage wolf]

Is there a way you can actually disable these anomalies for a second or nah :3

[wary orbit]

yes

[sage wolf]

Ima try a grenade

[tall pecan]

You get hit by them to disable them

Then use medkit

[wary orbit]

steping into a anomaly will interrupt them for a few seconds, bolts will work too for the faint hearted

[sage wolf]

Bolts don’t work on these :3

And yes I was hoping that getting hit but it wasn’t my only option but I see

[wary orbit]

oh you mean thooooose, nah ur fucked

[sage wolf]

They’re scarier than any enemy by far

Running around chugging energy drinks with a ball of electricity on my ass

[wary orbit]

is it the one in the bunker sparkles faction sends you in?

there is a couple rooms it does not follow in

[crystal thicket]

Guys is it me or is artefact hunting in stalker 2 kinda... boring... and hard?... hard in as in theirs like NO anomaly fields

[sage wolf]

Nah just some random one in the middle of nowhere by a stash but yeah

[wary orbit]

game needs to let us hire loners

[sage wolf]

So far this is how I feel. I keep my detector out constantly and I’ve been trying to find good Artis for a while

Don’t get me wrong I have a decent collection. But for example I’m still looking for a weight artifact that’s stronger than weak

[crystal thicket]

I HAVE gotten the max "rank" artifacts with a ECHO detector... like?? Where's the lore gone?? How can I find the best artifacts with a ECHO detector??

[wary orbit]

you wanna farm named anomalous zones like the Ribs and such

[wanton arch]

my biggest gripe is every artifact tier has the same drop chance of 20%, no matter if its common, uncommon, etc

[rose haven]

Unequip your artifacts

[wary orbit]

normal roadside anomalies here and there usually don't have artifacts

[rose haven]

They will stoo chasing and do their usual path

[sage wolf]

Oh wow do they not chase you if you have no artifacts equipped?

[crystal thicket]

Farming is boring. Sure I'll go to an anomaly field once in a while to admire the beauty but I wanna stumble upon new ones myself

[tall pecan]

Flashlight from trailer, who downgraded it

[crystal thicket]

In game flashlight is ASS

[rose haven]

Yeah i wish i knew before but they eat artifacts so if you keep it in your backpack they cant sense it

[wary orbit]

i believe this to be a lie, i was chased by one first without ever using a artifact

[crystal thicket]

The systems finiky

[wary orbit]

and so the lie unravels

[rose haven]

Honestly i like it because it keeps me on edge

[sage wolf]

I might be wrong but I thought you could always find any rarity with any detector

[tall pecan]

Uniqu AKSU sight as well

[rose haven]

Absolutely, just a better detector makes it easier

[crystal thicket]

No? I'm preety sure there's tiers of artifacts and tiers of detectors who can detect lower and the artifacts that that detector can detect

[rose haven]

I got the one with the screen, i can no detect and avoid the glass

[wary orbit]

artifacts move around while not visible yet

[sage wolf]

Also am I bugging or is there little correlation with the type of artifacts you get compared to the anomaly you find it in??? Like half the time if I pluck an artifact out of a fire anomaly it’s like “+ weight and chemical protection”

[wary orbit]

better detectors help you close the gap sooner

[rose haven]

There is actually

[crystal thicket]

Yeah that one's weird

[tall pecan]

I found the best artifacts with starter detector in S2

[rose haven]

Fire anomalys will have a Fire based artifact

[sage wolf]

I would assume there is, there usually is. I guess mines just been a bit weird

[crystal thicket]

Older games

[tall pecan]

Oh then idk

[crystal thicket]

I remember it being like that and maybe it's even like that in GAMMA

[wary orbit]

i found a compass in the ribs anomaly south of Zalissya with the base detector on my second visit there

[rose haven]

Veles my beloved

[crystal thicket]

I feel as if there's way too little anomaly fields in stalker 2

Did the ward and sircca already do their objective or smh

[rose haven]

If you’re ever just wombling down a path and are in an area you knkw glass anomalies spawn use a veles, it will show you were they are and how big they are

[sage wolf]

Or just crouch and walk thru them :3

[crystal thicket]

Or just run through them and eat the Glas

[rose haven]

No i cant

[wanton arch]

they are almost all around garbage and cement factory, theres almost no anomaly fields around duga for some reason

[tall pecan]

I thought this one is this place

[sage wolf]

I also still only have a Bear detector this far in game

[rose haven]

It still damages your guns and armour

[crystal thicket]

It's stupid how there's no anomaly fields in duga...

[sage wolf]

Literally so dumb

[rose haven]

And i really don’t like the sound it makes around you

[wary orbit]

Go here -> https://mapgenie.io/stalker-2-heart-of-chornobyl/maps/the-zone -> hide all -> show artifacts those are your anomaly fields +/- a few fixed artifacts you can find.

[sage wolf]

Also wtf is duga I keep hearing ppl say that

[tall pecan]

Big Antenna Array to south west of map

[wanton arch]

the big ass radar southweast

[sage wolf]

Okay. Haven’t been there yet. But clearing out chemical plant and killing the entire ward is on my to do list still

[crystal thicket]

Iron forest? And... uh the one above that that j never got to go bc I was lazy

[sage wolf]

Currently trying to go to red forest for good gun

I like how there’s iron forest burnt forest and red forest like omg chill

[wary orbit]

dlc areas, i could tell you about them but then i'd have to throw you into a grav anomaly

[crystal thicket]

Oooh is iron forest supposed to be like darkscape

Or dark meadows whatever it's called

[wanton arch]

heres a little route i make everytime i farm artifacts starting from cement factory. All these respawn. Fire, acid, gravitational and electric fields all covered 👍

i found it to be the shortest route so far from one base to another

[crystal thicket]

I use the fast travel anywhere mod

[wary orbit]

all this walking uuuugh stalker is such a chore... can't i just click button to receive artifact?

[crystal thicket]

Clearly this is a member of clear sky talking

[wanton arch]

|| XSpawnItemNearPlayerBySID QuestArtifactHeartofChornobyl ||

[wary orbit]

||yeah no shit||

it was a joke thats why i used that artifact

[west moth]

Ooooh

[rose haven]

Clear sky are cowards,

[toxic comet]

come on shaders

[sage wolf]

Guys I don’t think the game wants me to explore red forest atm ): I immediately start racking up rads when going there

I have a strong resist artifact and took off all my other artifacts etc

[crystal thicket]

There's a certain path to going through red forest. You CAN go through it at the very start it's just very irradted

[sage wolf]

Okay thank you

[tacit mortar]

The Duga is an IRL antenna array used by the Soviets in the cold war, nicknamed "The Russian Woodpecker."
It was supposedly an early warning missile detection system, though the full capabilites were never understood.
The thing was so powerful with its signal that you'd hear it 'peck' at the radio waves across the globe.

[crystal thicket]

Try following the south road to Yaniv

@sage wolf this one

[sage wolf]

That’s the route I was gonna try Ty. I’m tryna find the DNIPRO up here

[crystal thicket]

Yaniv station sells about anything

[sage wolf]

Don’t have much money, don’t wanna spend for ammo or weapons. Never really have in a stalker game

[toxic comet]

red forest sell them for free one hunt stashes in yaniv

[sage wolf]

Ummm are you saying there’s a free one in red forest?? Yeah that’s the one I’m tryna get

[rose haven]

Why is the red forest so hateful

Why does it spite us? I want to go look at blurry island

[crystal thicket]

In older games yeah, in stalker 2 no

Like literally nobody there no chimeras anymore no more controllers no boars no nothing

[rose haven]

Dude i cant touch the rest forest without being atomised

[sage wolf]

I loved red forest in gamma

[sage wolf]

That was the problem I’m having literally rn but you gotta walk a certain route through it

[crystal thicket]

I think it's story locked until a certain point certain areas are very irrated

[tacit mortar]

You have to ||continue story progression ||if you want to go to the blurry island.

[rose haven]

Do you know what is on the blurry island?

[crystal thicket]

You can take a certain route to blurry Island but it's not going to be anything there it's a uh... spoiler

[tacit mortar]

Story spoilers. I'll tell you if you just want to know.

[crystal thicket]

What will happen is you'll get psi damage pumped directly into your brain

[toxic comet]

i just run tho red forest butt naked

[sage wolf]

For reference I’m on the story mission “Just Like the Good Old Days” and currently I have to stay on the path mostly to avoid the rads

[rose haven]

PSI brain damage the noosphere by running through PSI naked

[crystal thicket]

Remember to just take the roads through the red forest

[toxic comet]

ehhhh

[rose haven]

Yeah I remember seeing a big bubble but thats all i saw before being atomised

[sage wolf]

That cemetery area in feed forest very spooky

[crystal thicket]

Fein forest

[toxic comet]

2 uglys xD

[crystal thicket]

Your game looks so beautiful

[rose haven]

So what’s on the blurry island?

[crystal thicket]

The doctors house

The one you fought with strelok and one other guy in call of pripyet

[toxic comet]

weird water med settings

[crystal thicket]

Oooh your drunk

[sage wolf]

Is that gauss gun?

[rose haven]

Oh is that the house with the fog?

[sage wolf]

Yeah idk why drinking booze makes the color palette so much better in this game but it does XD

[rose haven]

Where you have to solve a puzzle to even escape once you enter

[toxic comet]

yep with extended mag

[crystal thicket]

No. It's the house in the bubble it's being hidden by some devices

That's pumping you full of psi

[rose haven]

Ohhh okay, where is the fog house anyway?

[crystal thicket]

I have no idea I think that's a side misson

[warped monolith]

[toxic comet]

here

[sage wolf]

Exploring an underground facility in red forest atm vibes are peak

[rose haven]

Is the bubble an anomaly or is there those standing detector things?

[sage wolf]

Does anyone know where the free Dnipro in red forest actually is?

[crystal thicket]

Preety sure it's a device pumping out psi distorting anyone who looks at it making it seems like an anomaly when it isn't

[rose haven]

Oh cool

[toxic comet]

oh come on death zones here too F

[sage wolf]

Found the Dnipro in this jail type place with a buncha zombies

[rose haven]

I hate flashbang anomalies

[toxic comet]

uhmm yea controller aswell

[sage wolf]

I got a key here that I can’t figure out where to use tho

[toxic comet]

here that key goes

[sage wolf]

Yes but I have two key

One was used to open this place. I finished exploring it now. But don’t see place for the other key

[toxic comet]

not sure about this one

[sage wolf]

It is just called “key” it says maybe used for old door or padlock

[rose haven]

Controllers are easy to kill, just get into CQC range and mag dump it, and if you keep it trying to swing at you it can’t shit your pants

[toxic comet]

gauss one taps them

uhm

[rose haven]

I need a gauss

[sage wolf]

It’s true that CQC is best. Point blank Saiga buckshot to the head usually fixes things right up

[toxic comet]

wankers

[sage wolf]

Also am I the only person that uses only FMJ (normal) ammo and armor piercing?? I have never used flat, expansive, etc type ammo

Mostly cuz I always forget which one is supposed to be better vs mutants, or what they even do at all really

[toxic comet]

HP-expansive muties

flat has less drop

[rose haven]

No i only use FMJ just cause i dont have a reliable kredits income to be able to repair my guns

[sage wolf]

LOL I didn’t realize using other ammo types degrades them faster. Having just found the DNIPRO, I’m so fucking glad I can put away the clusterfuck for a while. That gun has no durability at all. Constant repairs

[rose haven]

Honestly i don’t know when i’ll stop using the G36 i love that gun

I really like the original sight too

[molten osprey]

I never actively swapped ammo, i used what i got. My gun needed 2 headshots for exos with AP and FMJ so no reason to change

[sage wolf]

Interesting. That was my absolute fave in SoC. By a long shot. Didn’t try it out much in S2. That and the Fora 221, I got the clusterfuck around the same time those became prominent so I never really used them

[rose haven]

It’s really quite nice

[sage wolf]

Once you start getting ||Monolith|| spawns, the AP ammo becomes a bit more useful

[molten osprey]

I played with the unique sniper a416 the whole time, and most of the time you would need 2ap shots regardless. sometimes you got lucky and only need one ap bullet but it wasnt consistent sadly, otherwise i would have used it a lot more

[warped monolith]

[sage wolf]

A416. Hmmm. Haven’t heard of it

[royal mural]

https://tenor.com/view/the-office-angela-dwight-schrute-shocked-gif-13363502

[royal mural]

hello there

[molten osprey]

maybe im confusing it, its basically an m4

[royal mural]

is the version before the B416

[rose haven]

The what?

[sage wolf]

Oh wait that’s just the normal 5.56 gun I think ik exavtly what you mean

[molten osprey]

AR 416, mb

[sage wolf]

But isn’t that the clusterfuck then?? You said the unique sniper variant and I thought the clusterfuck was the sniper AR416

[royal mural]

it is

[sage wolf]

Nah you said basically the same thing I just completely blanked like a dummy ur good

[molten osprey]

It was called Unruhestifter in german, i would translate that to trouble maker but muh idk

[sage wolf]

Well they must’ve been playing on a difficulty lower than veteran then because I’m not able to 2 shot Monolith in the head. Sometimes I am but not always

[sage wolf]

I took off extended mag because it made the durability even worse and I didn’t find it that useful tbh

[royal mural]

tbh if its not an exo i oneshot them

[molten osprey]

Lol only had a grip on it at the end. used it all the time, no matter if long or short distance.

[sage wolf]

With FMJ?

[royal mural]

i use ballistics mod

[toxic comet]

AP only

[sage wolf]

I need a custom grip on the clusterfuck tbh

[royal mural]

enemys get the same buff tho

[sage wolf]

Okay bro then why you saying you 1 shot them if playing with mods we’re talking normal game here 🤣 silly goose

[royal mural]

https://tenor.com/view/dean-winchester-supernatural-relatable-relatablemoods-gif-7719768255809338997

[molten osprey]

After my first few hours on XBOX i went for stalker. cba to play veteran at the moment, maybe after a few more patches. 30 fps locked with weird graphics and people spawning non stop everywhere outside of your viewcone broke me. even had to change to recruit for some parts

[toxic comet]

lick test

[sage wolf]

What kinda ballistics mod tho. Something like gamma?

[royal mural]

its called ballistics

[sage wolf]

Yeah I feel that man. Thankfully I play PC so I have around 100 fps usually. But that would piss me off too. Since I’m a veteran stalker I probably would’ve just gritted my teeth and pushed through but it sounds annoying 🤣

[royal mural]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1311383864379310080

[sage wolf]

I mean what does it do, is it similar to gamma where the higher the caliber the more dmg the bullet type thing?

[royal mural]

yea and it changes penetration values acording to caliber

[rose haven]

How does it taste?

[royal mural]

like a battery

[sage wolf]

I dig it. I have an inferiority complex around modding normal stalker games idk. I wish I didn’t

[molten osprey]

Normally i would have done that too, i play with kb/m support at least so thats something. I played trough the og trilogy on xbox 6 months ago, veteran was pretty easy there but the state of s2 was too tough for me

[royal mural]

i dont understand that

[toxic comet]

hmmm sweet

[rose haven]

Blue raspberry?

[sage wolf]

Do you have a XIM?

[sage wolf]

I feel like if I have to mod the game to be easier than I just suck ass. I wanna experience the vision GSC had for the most part even if it’s a bit ridiculous at times

[toxic comet]

more like blueberry

[royal mural]

ohh yea but dont forget the enemys weapons get that buff too

[molten osprey]

if its that translation device you need for playstation, nah xbox has native mnkb support for most models. some games have problems with cheap products, if i turn around my mouse i can still see the 1.99 price tag

[sage wolf]

True true

[royal mural]

i die more with this mod then vanilla

[rose haven]

Damn

[royal mural]

tbh vanilla stalker is easier than my modded one currently

[sage wolf]

Damn. I didn’t realize that most games supported it tho, even if the console does. Like PS5 supports it but I couldn’t use it for any of the games I wanted to like Overwatch. I think they classify it as cheating

[molten osprey]

Most games that have crossplay in casual modes dont have it in ranked. in ow2 you can play with kb/m but if you want to queue with console players in ranked you will need to use a controller. Call of duty just shits on that completely i think, it has native support and throws all players in match no matter the hardware/input device

[sage wolf]

Huh. Well I’m glad to see they’ve come a long way with the native KBM support. I was always tryna emulate that PC experience when I didn’t have one 🤣 for singleplayer games it never bugged me much tho ig

[languid turret]

Are yall still getting shader compliation freezes? Jeez it was never an issue for me. 1.1 broke things. 1.1.2 fixed it, and it's broken again after 1.1.3.

[royal mural]

@sage wolf #╓☢stalker2™-chat-not-gamma-keep-waiting message thats btw on normal stalker diff

[molten osprey]

i just needed it for s2 because they had no deadzone or other settings for controller. Your right stick would react to the wind and skif would 360 without you even touching the controller. I mean i have a pc here but i dont even need to try running s2, no chance

[royal mural]

i got hit once by his mp5

and i had the 10% kevlar attachement

[sage wolf]

Yeah I feel that. That was my laptop situation until a couple years ago. And then it was my brothers situation but now his laptop is getting to the point where it can’t even run League of Legends lol. I wish I was a lot more wealthy I’d buy him a whole setup rn.

But that sucks that stalker 2 sensitivity is so weird on controller. It’s one of the few singleplayer games where aiming matters a whole lot haha

[toxic comet]

ahm nope nope

[sage wolf]

Idk tho like back when I first started, I would still be hesitant to sprint around any location. I’d take my time and creep around, always checking my corners with a weapon drawn. I’d always crouch and lean just BARELY enough to shoot some people. Shit felt like real life.

Now after having played the whole trilogy + a hundred hours of gamma and 50 hours of stalker 2, I end up bumrushing 3 people with my Saiga while screaming at the top of my lungs

[royal mural]

kill it

[sage wolf]

Perhaps the emissions are rotting my brain a bit

[royal mural]

im always playing like that cause if i die i die

[toxic comet]

done and done

ehh trying to yoink my gauss

[royal mural]

yea that would hurt cause i get one shot by gauss rifles if im not in a fully upgraded exo now

[sour narwhal]

hurts really good

might just be me tho

[rose haven]

Oh same, especially now im rocking around in heavy armour and wielding glutton

[royal mural]

spray and pray my friend

4 more behind me btw i needed about 800 boolets

[sage wolf]

You forgot the gigachad image

[sage wolf]

What is glutton

[toxic comet]

thats nasty

[royal mural]

named PKM

[sage wolf]

PKM Lol

What a chad gun to use to be honest

[sour narwhal]

its fun for walking around promin spraying out ward as they run in

[royal mural]

btw thats old from my first playthrough thats when they still needed more ammo

[toxic comet]

i have in stash running low on ammo for it tho xD

[sage wolf]

I’ll ask this question again since more ppl are active, but does anyone know what to do with the second key I got from the place with the DNIPRO??? Lishchyna facility

[royal mural]

https://tenor.com/view/memory-no-memory-where-am-i-memories-harry-potter-gif-5385535

[wary orbit]

you have never made jam in your life have you

[sage wolf]

It’s cool tbh

[royal mural]

well human jam is different my friend

[toxic comet]

strabbery or apple

[wary orbit]

can't be blood. Blood does not have that color especially not after a while

[rose haven]

Its a PKM with a higher fire rate and a 500 round ammo box

[royal mural]

well its a game so

[wary orbit]

Jam

[rose haven]

Me when i explode

[royal mural]

tbh i cant say no to that either

[royal mural]

so you know how long ago that was? mhh interesting

@wary orbit HE DID IT thats why hes saying jam

[wary orbit]

no but i can tell you that at no point does blood look like this

[royal mural]

i mean you did see arterial blood did you?

cause it can be bright red yes

[sage wolf]

Saw footage of someone using the Sledgehammer ngl kinda tempting

[rose haven]

Who here thinks dalin is just Ukrainian elon musk

[sour narwhal]

I would rather deal with dalin

[royal mural]

if it wouldnt be bannable to post in here i could send proof that youre wrong there

[sour narwhal]

At least dalin is dangerous because he's actuall smart whereas the latter is dangerous because he's just really dumb

[sage wolf]

I must just be a special player cuz I’m tryna research online and I think I’m the only player alive to get two keys from that place

[royal mural]

sometimes there are more keys to the same thing

i mean if that isnt a bug ofc

[sage wolf]

They were two different keys I believe. The one I have left is just called “Key” and I’m hoping not a bug but idk

[rose haven]

They both come across as stupid and delusional to me, i just didn’t pick dalin because i didn’t think releasing stuff from the zone to the world is a good idea and because i wanted to help the night guys

[sage wolf]

I wish there was a mod to be able to drop these “essential” items like the collar and all that other shit

[warped monolith]

[sour narwhal]

if the collar is in skif's inventory and stuck there it's because he's wearing it

[warped monolith]

it's not equipped, so no. it's in his backpack gerara here with your kinks

[sage wolf]

Nvm this guy has the same super sick awesome mega rare key

[rose haven]

Well skif does have a vaguely homosexual run

[sour narwhal]

its a shame what they do to our men

[royal mural]

you do know that you can get rid of it by doing a sidequest near the end of the game tho no?

[warped monolith]

[sour narwhal]

Just got off the phone with serhey grigorovich. says hes wearing it on his neck

[rose haven]

The way he runs

[warped monolith]

just got off the phone with skif, he says you crazy

[royal mural]

i got of the phone with John Stalker and he calls bs

[warped monolith]

Scar also said you're crazy, and he can speak with authority on that

Scar knows crazy

[royal mural]

well then i dont understand what youre saying

since what you said about the g36 i cant take you for full sorry

[fiery cove]

They really made bloodsuckers quite the bullet spunges in this one 👀

[warped monolith]

should rename them to bulletsuckers, right?

[warped monolith]

imagine thinking a charging handle you need to turn before you pull is good design

[rose haven]

I had a RPG jam twice before i could finally blow up the stupid gun magic half pints of piss

[sour narwhal]

They die to like 2 rgd's

[royal mural]

no no i never said its not good but hes just biased beyond straight thinking lel

[toxic comet]

ahh

[rose haven]

Not in the face they don’t

[royal mural]

its an artefact i guess

[wary orbit]

its ambidextrous, same as the fire select, the gun is an ergonomic marvel

[toxic comet]

yep

[warped monolith]

other guns with ambidextrous charging handles exist, but zero of them need you to turn it before you pull

[wary orbit]

i did not design the gun so your meme is way over the top

[fiery cove]

2 bloodsuckers guarding a stash... I highly doubt there are 200 bullets in that little backpack to make up for the resources

[rose haven]

The left handed aren’t human, create right handed weapons

[royal mural]

youre digging your hole deeper and deeper

[wary orbit]

you're

[royal mural]

and that my friends happens when youre out of arguments

[warped monolith]

remember when being left handed was considered mental retardation

[fiery cove]

i gotten so used to hunting mutants for parts.. in gamma now im like... well, guess ill run past you

[rose haven]

No i forgot

[wary orbit]

btw the charging handle you are describing is no hassle at all, it was my service rifle for 8 years, also there exist alternatives for people like you

[sage wolf]

I mean I have an RPG in my stash but I don’t think I will ever end up using it funny enough

[toxic comet]

glutton time

[royal mural]

https://tenor.com/view/shoot-angry-aim-fire-scream-gif-14962676

[mint holly]

To fix left handed issues you just have to hold it upside down, problem solved

[warped monolith]

that wasn't an underhanded insult at all, was it?

[royal mural]

i told you

[warped monolith]

I'll say again.. stereotypes do exist for a reason

[royal mural]

incoming

[wary orbit]

What? Me telling you that there is alternative charging handles for whiny little nitpickers that wanna shit on one of the best rifles in existence, No never.

[warped monolith]

"whiny little nitpickers"
OH NO, WHITE

[abstract lagoon]

The AK is arguably built for left handers

[royal mural]

so biased was the right word

[real tinsel]

Persistant psi damage bug, someone once faced it? (In stalker 2 ofc lol)

[warped monolith]

yeah... use it left handed and get all the brass on your arm, shoulder and perhaps face

[royal mural]

in a specific location?

[rose haven]

Its russian and @warped monolith remind me what they used to say about left handed people?

[abstract lagoon]

Nah fam, the AK generally ejects to the front at about 2-3 o'clock

[mint holly]

Or you could hold it upside down and look cool, like jimi hendrix did

[warped monolith]

idk I'm no russian scholar

[wary orbit]

Look people its the day before Christmas Eve. lets not fight lets instead be merry and kill a bunch of Monolith instead.

[rose haven]

Dude you literally said it minutes ago

[royal mural]

now youve done it

[real tinsel]

I went to Red Forest, then to Yantar, where it started, moved back to Rostok, used PsiBlock but im still getting the damage

[warped monolith]

I don't think that was the russians. But it could've been

[rose haven]

Kalashnikov

[royal mural]

youre not having an artefact or something like that right?

[rose haven]

Avtomat Kalashnikova to be specific

[royal mural]

weird cauldron or what its called?

[real tinsel]

Removed all to check if it was coming from any of them, no success... i think im gonna have to reload to an odler save

[royal mural]

do you have a console enabled?

[real tinsel]

Yes!

[royal mural]

save before and try "XApplyEffectOnPlayer VolumePsyPointsRemovePermanent" pls (without quotes)

@rose haven, remove your Newcomer role to:

• gain access to the restricted part of the server;
• ask for help/support with custom modlists (enabled/disabled mods in MO2);
• download additional mods for GAMMA;
• talk in the #╓☢stalker-chat (you'll need to be Rookie in order to post in this channel first)

▶️ Go to #⏩start-confirm to remove the role, but ONLY after you have successfully installed AND launched at least once the mod pack.

since when protagonists were meant to be cute tho? theres a gazillion characters that are ugly

not quite sure what you are on about. Shes hot AF

yes, because we play Stalker for the cute bikini models

it's weird how everything has to be pornographic for you

[warped monolith]

projecting. Also again lady ,get off my dick. You're not my type.

[sonic reef]

i just hate how stellar blade per example, uses sexualization to have more sales

[royal mural]

well lets see how concord fared...
oh no.. anyway

[rose haven]

Thats just cause it was dogshit

[sonic reef]

concord failed because theres others 938459834895 games that are on the market that look exactly the same yet are free

[royal mural]

well true enough i guess

[fiery cove]

funny enough, apperently that hurts it sales according to many people who though it was just shallow porn game ;/ which sucks the game actually has decent story and combat

[warped monolith]

dogshit and released way too late into a market that has already moved on from hero shooters

8 years in development. Nevermind the bad designs or the overblown budget. The development time alone was already a huge red flag.

[sonic reef]

yeah, i didnt even give a fuck about the game cus its too much on the face, i wna play the game not have a character that most of the clothes are bare latex

[rose haven]

The market wants games with teams of 4 idiots getting sent into hell

[sonic reef]

and the cutscenes too

[fiery cove]

'waw one game no one wanted flopped... lets talk about it 6 months in a roll as an example for something unrelated to its flop'

[wary orbit]

@warped monolith so ur telling me, Ellen Ripley, GI Jane, Jack (Subject Zero), Sinéad O'Connor are not hot ?

[rose haven]

Who?

[royal mural]

well tbh youre right but somehow nothing gets learned from it

[sonic reef]

most the times u never look up to the character you play as '' omg this character is homosexual and am not homosexual so i dont feel connected to what am playing ''

[fiery cove]

since there there was only one hero shooter... a marvel one that gold mine,

[warped monolith]

I didn't say all women with shaved heads aren't hot. You're also projecting
And since I know you enjoy some lq bait I won't bother with an honest answer

[warped monolith]

did I hurt your massive ego? poor baby

[wary orbit]

i enjoy some what bait? What?!

[pastel crag]

last of us 2 abby

[sonic reef]

people want rule34 content instead of an entertaining content 🤣

[royal mural]

so what exactly turned this chat into a warzone again?

[rose haven]

She’s not necessarily ugly

[wary orbit]

nah she definetly was not hot man

[rose haven]

I don’t see whats wrong with abby

[warped monolith]

anyways @sour narwhal weren't you the one whining about people jumping at your throat for no reason? It's alright when you do it though, right?

[pastel crag]

[sour narwhal]

They get mad when devs give them a woman who looks like they might be in their league in real life because they'd rather jerk off to a woman who would turn their nose up at them

[sonic reef]

she def not hot but who cares man? not everything has to be sexualized, theres ugly people in the world, ugly people should be depicted in games too

[royal mural]

beauty is subjective i have no clue what there even is to argue about

[fiery cove]

abby and everyone in last of us 2, fitted that world, they were in fucked up post apocalyptic world, not having hike and vacation, like for example Uncharted series

[sour narwhal]

Means they have to do less work to see the humanity in another person

[rose haven]

She’s got her dad’s jaw but thats just genetics, it happens IRL and she’s in an apocalypse of course she’ll be physically fit

[royal mural]

well except that

[pastel crag]

the shitposter that are memeing the entire time on this channel

[sonic reef]

whenever i can customize my character i always make the ugliest possible character

[wary orbit]

no argument there.

[warped monolith]

hit 'randomize' 3 times and click accept on whatever comes out

[rose haven]

Make waluigi

[royal mural]

i mean i have a face only a mother could love but i still say ugly is ugly and calling me beautiful is still a lie so

[sonic reef]

the problem with new games is that they are too superficial

[fiery cove]

if any of those games came out 10 years ago, with no chances to them, no one would bat an eye

[sonic reef]

devs are wasting too much time on trying to make the game graphically realistic but forget the gaming cores

[fiery cove]

nowadays everyone just gaslightes themselves thinking everything is make with politics and what not

[sour narwhal]

if devs dont put our game characters that make the gamers horny then truly they will never reproduce - how will we fight wars? how will we colonize the stars?

how will we save the occident?

[warped monolith]

this is both hilarious and sad
people look at stuff that simply ain't there

[rose haven]

Just be happy you stupid bastard, don’t make me get the roahl dal quote

[sonic reef]

yeah on naughty dog people already saying the woman lesbian when shes just bald and has male traits...

[royal mural]

i mean yea but dont forget the longer it goes back the less people had the platform to spew their bs

[warped monolith]

lol
before last of us 2 released those same people thought Abby was trans

[sonic reef]

a woman cant be born with male traits that they are automatically lesbian

[fiery cove]

i watch a dude cry about ciri for 20 mins, and how their ruined witcher 3, and some dude showed him how yennefer looked in the cgi trailer, the dude was in pure state of cope, crying its fake trailer xD

[fiery cove]

same people still cry that all the time, tbh

[rose haven]

ITS A FUCKING APOCALYPSE, WHY WOULDNT YOU WANT TO BE BUILT LIKE A BRICK SHITHOUSE, THERE ARE MUSHROOMS RIPPING PEOPLE’S JAWS OFF

[royal mural]

tbh i just hate abby cause she killed joel

[sonic reef]

would completely change the game inside and out truly 🤣🤣🤣

[sour narwhal]

American game developers make a character resembling the average american in 2024, its simple

[fiery cove]

Since when are people complaining about Bethesda characters, usually we compain about Bethedas' bugs

[royal mural]

theres truth to that

[warped monolith]

Bethesda characters look ugly only because Bethesda's art direction is shit.

[sour narwhal]

he literally made chris pratt

[royal mural]

jokes on them he looked like that before

[warped monolith]

If you took Sarah Morgan from Starfield and made an exact copy of her in a different artstyle she'd look good.

Back in re2 they also whined about leon and claire, for some reason. They both look good imo

[royal mural]

to speak with @wary orbit words its near christmas lets get civil again and talk shit about stalker 2

its called layering for drip

[wary orbit]

paraphrasing i see... i said lets be merry and kill monolith

how does one kill that which is already dead

@royal mural the code you sent worked! Tks!!

[sonic reef]

fact? 🧐

[royal mural]

nice

[fiery cove]

from what i seen 'incel', some go with 'bigot', word has too many meaning at this point

[sour narwhal]

Probably redpilled but its all stupid words anyways that denot how judgy people are about what others may or may not believe

[west moth]

Jill 😋

[sonic reef]

incel is genred so :/

[sour narwhal]

Rachel Foley is the best RE character

[warped monolith]

this is both true and ironic, which makes it the best thing ever

[west moth]

No zombie could eat Jill like i could

[fiery cove]

no, its not? who told you incel is genred?

[sour narwhal]

Only RE character worth cosplaying besides battlesuit jill

[warped monolith]

probably because he saw the word "femcel"

[royal mural]

i do love my boulder punshing goated chris

[warped monolith]

I prefer the superpowered Johnny Bravo from the Matrix

[fiery cove]

ah, i see. well both words work i guess

[mint holly]

Red pilled becoming a genuine phrase used in non-ironic form is just unreal

[warped monolith]

same applies to "sigma male" and "gigachad"
we truly are barelling downhill towards idiocracy

[west moth]

No more Incel, better in Jill

[fiery cove]

that google definition feels so outdated at this point, its probably 10 years old by nwo

[sonic reef]

femcel is the woman version of incel

redpill is just silly for me 🤣

[west moth]

Jill could put me in her Jail anytime

[fiery cove]

redpill sounds nice, but lacks power of how delusional these people are

[warped monolith]

incel has no gendering. It's short for "involuntary celibate". There's nothing to denote a gender in either of these words.
"femcel" is just another made up internet colloquialism to separate incel men and women

[sonic reef]

exactly

[royal mural]

a collegue of mine told me about shelaborating and i was laughing the whole time

[west moth]

I'm so redjilled

[warped monolith]

well everybody has the right to judge what he wants if you dont want to get judged or get angry over pixels on a screen i recommend pressing the power button

oh right, this was stalker 2 chat 👀

[west moth]

I just looked that up

[sonic reef]

same 🤣 i was like tf that supposed to mean but then... mansplaining

[warped monolith]

tell that to our resident popped-balloon ego lady friend

[west moth]

Stalker 2 - Return to Chernojill

[royal mural]

i was talking with her and she jokingly uses the word mansplaining to me all the time and i said i dont know how to counter that so she told me that

[royal mural]

what rule is there?=

[wary orbit]

yes

[polar sigil]

there are no rules against the mutants

Having to play tetris with the food in my fridge is a good problem to have

best thing is applying the tetris skills you learned on gameboy in the 90s when you put groceries in the boot or fridge

[sour narwhal]

God the kharod is so broken, fully upgraded you really can just hammer down on the trigger and kill an entire squad in 5 seconds flat

Fuck yes, just bought me four Schlesische Weißwürste and some sweet mustard.

[royal mural]

my christmas dinner

[sour narwhal]

You ever had the cinnamon christmas one?

[royal mural]

tbh no i didnt even know there is one

[sour narwhal]

I think its vanilla cinnamon or something of the sort, you dont see it often, but i'd had it once upon a time when I was younger, its very good

[warped monolith]

christmas is for the good food.
Booze is for the rest of the year

[royal mural]

well booze is all around the year christmas is no exception

[royal mural]

mhhh now everythings closed here but when i can walk a straight line again ill look for it

[fiery cove]

nah, you should eat good food all year long too

[wary orbit]

Wasn't there a austrian more ergonomic alternative to the german Jägermeister?

[warped monolith]

only reason I don't drink at christmas is because of the food. Stomach gets too full to drink

[sour narwhal]

A-life is ridiculous, here I am, pretty talked out in the zone as skif, loner squad of 10 walks up on me, merc squad of 10 walks up on me, merc squad engages me with loners in the crossfire, they get nailed by crossfire and don't respond, then a 10-squad of ipsf shows up, puts the loner in crossfire, they respond to that, then i put the loner squad in crossfire and they dont respond to my accidental friendly fires

what was that with paraphrasing?

Finally picked it up because the minor sale
And good god what is optimization

Does dlss have a meaningful affect on the frame rate for the visual downgrade?

Outside of towns that is
I have given up on town fps

[royal mural]

idk what yall have with bugs dlss makes it look better compared to no upscale for me

[ashen ridge]

I'll have to give it a go
Just a hassle waiting for shaders™ every time you change major settings

[royal mural]

i thought the new update disabled it?=

[heavy hedge]

It's baffling to me how ugly, jarring and terrible the foliage pop in is even with literally everything set to ultra

[ashen ridge]

Idk I probably spent half an hour last night waiting on them on various reboots of the game changing stuff to get more than 30 fps
Or more accurately more than 10 fps while climbing that tower with the baloon

[wary orbit]

DLSS is downsampling not upscaling. At least as far as i understand it

[royal mural]

ohh ok i thought its upscaling cause if i dont use tsr dlss etc it looks worse

[ashen ridge]

Ive been trying to remember what other game used this foliage technique that looks super pixely at certain times and settings

[wary orbit]

DLSS with DLAA is DLSS with native resolution

[ashen ridge]

It's the worst
Maybe Arma or DayZ did it?

[royal mural]

no clue then

witcher 3?

[unique hornet]

Idk why but my game is still crashing after the updates, I guess its time for a full reinstall

[fiery cove]

can be 1 million reasons tbh. do you get any errors or just closes down.

[proven hollow]

what r ur specs wtf

[heavy hedge]

The problem with DLAA is that it's super resource intensive (relative to regular DLSS, partly because it's new, partly because its native res) and generally looks worse than modern dlss, which is upscaling yes, and produces other issues even though in some ways it looks good. Native alone (not DLAA) looks absolutely atrocious, I assume because DLSS is expected to smooth over issues with AA and etc. I don't understand why UE5 is the way that it is but it really pigeonholes you into an expected set of ""features"" for the game to look half decent, and you end up with all kinds of weird visual artifacts as a result

[ashen ridge]

Rtx 3070 and an r7 from 2 years ago
Can't remember the exact one off the top

[unique hornet]

No errors, just closes right away. reinstalling is the only thing I can think of

[royal mural]

what is the difference between native and dlss dlaa

[ashen ridge]

32g. Of ram so that's not it

[proven hollow]

im running the game with an rtx 3060 and i5 10400, I still average around 40-50fps at medium settings

[unique hornet]

Am I the only one liking Gamma more then Stalker 2 😅

[proven hollow]

not sure wtf ur doing to get that low of frames unless ur on higher settings

[royal mural]

no pick a number

[wary orbit]

I also like Pineapple on Pizza better than a Pizza Margherita.

[heavy hedge]

DLAA basically takes native res then uses AI as the anti aliasing solution

[proven hollow]

call me crazy but I've unironically been enjoying stalker 2 more than gamma

[royal mural]

ahhhh ok ty

[fiery cove]

do that, also update graphic drivers, and keep eyes on temps

[royal mural]

i play both i love both i dont compare both

[fiery cove]

if that doesn work a)wait for mor patches b) check for perfomance mods

[crystal thicket]

Fuck DLAA

DLSS better

[royal mural]

that is dlss dlaa btw

[heavy hedge]

What's wrong? Don't like the extra system resources for an even uglier AI presentation?
