Сталкеры подскажите ли аддон или мод чтобы изменить переносимый вес.
I always just nade em

Anyone ever gotten the "Wrong" Cutscene at the end of garbage? Like the opposite one from what your decision in Lesser zone should have led too?
not really when I find an over-abundance of them anyhow
is 654 mods normal
I didn't even know there was 654 HoC Tuah mods 
this is #╓☢stalker2™-chat-not-gamma-keep-waiting btw
oh shit mb
#╟🔰☢newbies-chat or #1026866080347603065 or #🔨base-gamma-support or #🔨modded-gamma-support might help tho
anyone know if there's a mod so you don't die instantly from radiation
vodka
my skif easily drank 300 bottles of wodka in his 25 hours. get your numbers up
yea that do be a big meme
rads only insta kill you if you are in a out of bounds area
like the hills of garbage
Truly an open world experience
yes

More like open crap

uhhhhh

I swear to god this is an unmodded save. I have no fucking clue what happened. A Snork jumped me and the pistol just dropped

Butter fingers
i need to get back into speedrunning
still my favourite tho
cant grasp what made that sound, was that some atmospheric thing to show me there happened a crash? or did gsc just want to give me a heart attack? i will never know
Damn I wanna do a 3rd playthrough with Modular Hardmode
Anyone playing with it atm? How is it?


I'm enjoying it, There is a new update available.

Any mods replace the radio with gamma bangers? Cause the radio in stalker 2 sucks.
There are some, not sure if they still work though. You'd have to try them out.
Gamma bangers lol.
ooh ok thank you i was wishing we have a mod like gamma where if your radiation is at max we don't die instantly
Desolation works like that I believe. But that's more of an overhaul.
it just works
Finally got a good enough PC to run S2 at full graphics and 130 fps, my god is this game a beauty. I added reshade and made a bodycam mod to kinda make it a "lost footage" kinda feel
the audio got messed up but i thought the bodycam reshade is pretty fun with how good this game lookds
that actually looks awful 
Is there any reason why the FN40GL for the Scar lack aiming ?
I'd love to consider Stalker 2 beautiful, but holy fuck is it not lmao. Maaaaybe if they eventually fix their shitty lighting, but even then that's a strong ass maybe
There is only one thing in Stalker 2 that is beautiful, and that's the shining zone

Why is vortex trying to start stalker in xbox mode?
Failed to run tool
Ambience and direction are nice. It does look like ass most of the time. My brother once checked on my house while I was playing and his first comment was something along the lines of "I see they kept even the graphics like the originals huh".
Eh, yeah I guess by keeping everything very brown-toned in terms of color lmao
Oh hello again friend



as one would expect, right? 

I do think the bodycam view is interesting, and it does give off a sense of realism visually, but I feel like it'd get kinda old real quick.
SKEEEFAAAA WHO HERE PLAYS WITH MY MOD SKEEFAAAA
also homiezzz whadayathink of this mod thumbnail pic?
Why the Tripadvisor sticker 
its a dumb gimmick even if its "realistic" its total degradation of your visuals for the sake of it
Yeah, you're trading fov for a niche visual aesthetic lol
also none of these body cam mods bother of setting the pov from the correct angle

hi lil buddy
Stalker 2 worth playing yet? Have mods fixed alife and such?
!noalife
why is is chornobyl and not chernobyl? are they stupid?
Ukrainian spelling
are you sure rhey didnt make a typo


I was also unaware of the reason for the spelling change until someone mentioned to me the nuances between Russian and Ukrainian spelling using English characters.
Like how in Sdalger 2 it's "Ahroprom" instead of "Agroprom"
Or Yaniv instead of Yanov
zalyssia still isnt fixed

Yes
another 20 trillion bugs upon Zalissya until morale improves

Or Prypiat instead of Pripyat
Brepyat
blyatblyat
byeah
urkanian spelling of Chernobyl is Chornobyl

sprout is just being cheeky and/or baity
no im just being cheeked up yes
with all due respect but I uninstalled stalker 2, no a-life, big vegetation can't see far away, still game breaking bugs, x-ray visiion on npc's they can shoot through bushes I can't see them, no physics, no reaction to getting shot in specific body parts, all that stoof ZoneSlug posts on youtube, etc. just not vibing with it, I think it has a year more left to cook. Just gonna' reinstall gamma.
bruh what the hell
that happens to me to with like anything i download its so weird
Just wait for Stalker Warzone 1tb
yea I said the same thing, but it's still like 120 gigs or whatever once you install allat shit
It's a Steam issue

I just realized something
"Dziś" 
Hey, mans just wants to romance Sidorovich; can't a man dream?

inb4 the multiplayer mode is exactly that
Man i wonder if a boss fight is here
sure looks like a boss arena 
I'd prefer a co-op campaign but tbh i can't lie that a feedom v duty multiplayer could be fun
co-op ain't happening
limansk freedom vs duty arena DLC
only thing we can expect is similar modes to what the OGs got
probably though one can hope
If gsc don't do it modders probably will, If Cyberpunk can get a modded pvp so can Stalker lmao
also it'll be scuffed but co-op shouldn't be that hard
cheeky breeky asshole is stinky 
so i have a question is it possible in any way to play stalker gamma coop and not have it run like shit?
plz some1 let me know thanks
ask in #╟🔰☢newbies-chat. also you're probably gonna be made fun of. 
i got plat in like every stalker besides the 1st one why am i noob 
because achievements mean nothing

@steady jacinth, 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.
i just asked if gamma was coop im confused what u are doing or trying to prove thanks for your help tho
and I'm telling you to ask in the correct channel
this channel is for stalker 2, not gamma
No it isn’t
is this supposed to happen

Hey guys, Is it worth getting stalker 2 in its current state or should i just stick to gamma for now?
It's said to be playable, but wait a year or two
No romance sidorovich
stalker 2 has alot of buggs its probably impossible to go through the whole game without encountering a bug
Unplayable
we need ronance with richter
You're probably better waiting for a year

Oh gee i wonder what's in the next room

game designers have lost all ability to be subtle about boss encounters
I just walked into an even fucking worse one. It's litarlly just a store room with rpg ammo and a ton of medkits lmao
Bro what the fuck 3 rooms filled with medkits back to back and no actual enemies inbetween lmao
what am i gonna fight 3 Pseudogiants with gauss rifles for dicks

there isnt
there's only uhh an RP game



Man i really love stalker 2
its great and i cant stop playing
(i havent played in 4 months and i just want my color)
once I get rid of a 200 gb game in my steam library I think I'll reinstall
THOSE 3 MESSAGES WERE 3 XP EACH
I enjoyed my time with it when it released but im just waiting for more updates
goddamn given how dead the channel is thats another month of sneaking in emotes
i mean we dont disturb anyone actually talking about the game so who cares
I'm still unsure if I should keep waiting
I got plenty games to keep me busy
by the time i finish all the games i have (still gotta finish KCD2
) i'll prob try again
I mean if you want to, you can finish it in 20 hours
i like the world of stalker
which i did, felt no incentive to explore somehow
Im over here stroking my artefact i got lotion on my artefacts im just stroking my shit, im horny as fuck man im a artefact hunter man like for real
that's kinda sadge
hell yeag loner
but I'd probably take longer than 20h to finish HoC
Mods; im refercing a meme, im not tryna goon in stalker 2 chat
I kinda had no incentive to explore and the 1.0.4 patch or what it was scared me
i knew when they started touching the ai my xbox would go up in flames
Has A-life been updated at all yet?
AFAIK no
kinda from what i heard
but its far from fixed, just some adjustments so it feels better for now
they toned down how often encounters happen in the open world
Do enemies still spawn within a couple ten meters behind you?
And are there engagements from a distance longer than 50 meters now?
the last time i played it was around 100ms when i saw something
I even saw bloodsuckers hunting i think
but that could be more a bug than intended
thats the one thing i didnt like
why the fuck were the mutants so bullet spongey
and why did we have to fight a bloodsucker at the literal beginning
regarding spongey
i only played stalker 2 for a month after release, for a dozen hours or so
six mags to the head
Im probaly only gonna return after a year of updates and mods
you can see me how i go from "save the ammo, save the ammo"
to completely rambo. Its hilarious
i think when i posted it the first time i wrote something like the arena is filled with tension and i finally won trough sheer willpower 
My sheer willpower (300 bullets) overpowering the terrible tension (ugly ass chimera)
She granting on my wish till i Хвала монолиту
Just as the Monolith intended (if you code a shitty sponge enemy it's only fair to cheese the fuck out of it)
Nah Chimeras and Giants suck. Cheese them all the way.
I mean at least they were scary
not scary because they were mutants and monsters no, scary because i know how much ammo i have
or rather dont have
screw fair play, I'm using every dirty trick I know 
Go my pocket anomaly
let's be real the only times you got scared in Stalker was the first meeting with Bloodsuckers and Polters.
Not even then
i get scared when im close to death, it doesnt really matter what inflicts it
A sudden bandit shooting my head sometimes scares me more than any mutant could 
Eh I'm more mildy annoyed because I have to press F9 to reload 
Bandit boomstick jumpscare
That first controller in soc
12 year old me “what the fuck is that”

Yo I’m new to gamma my first ever play though can someone help me find a specific stash in the swamps? It’s in a bush across a chain fence I don’t know how to get around it stretches forever
hey guys, is S2 as bad as they say it is?
Not as bad as the haters say, not as good as the fanboys say
the only correct answer
IDK, it's just ...
I f'ing LOVE the game, I had an aneurism playing it for the 1st time
It's hard to explain. I think I kinda hate what happened to The Zone
Stalker 2 had a lot of expectations that people wanted to seen met. Throughout the years, modders have essentially took the old game and quite literally made an entire new game out of it.
And with the current modern modding scene (cough cough escape from tarkov but in stalker cough cough) it was going to be challenging to appease both newer and older fans of the stalker franchise.
And as a person who never player the trilogy and mostly watched it, I can say that Stalker 2… is a decently fun experience.
It still keeps its Original Stalker DNA for better and for worse. They’ve nailed the atmosphere and most times you just take in the moment of The Zone for a while. They’re amazing set pieces and overall they really got the design of the world on point.
Then you reach the halfway point… and it starts to fall apart. The story is… eh… The gunplay is fun at the start until you inevitably start fighting spongy monolith. The mutants are just annoying, repairing can be annoying, making money can be annoying…
Overall, there was plenty of potential of the game. But through the midpoint, you could definitely see the cracks showing that the devs DESPERATELY wanted to finish this game on their deadline.
TL;DR It’s a pretty good experience that falls short the longer you play it. I give it like a… 6.5/10
They nailed the jank for sure.
Just as the founding stalkers intended

Is there anything that actually stops the aimbot AI? It's ridiculous, shooting me through a speck of a gap between 3 different layers of wall in a building they didn't even see me go into.... I installed maklanes better gunfights but it doesnt seem to be doing anything
currently using Desolation, Oxide Armory, Unrestricted Weapon Upgrades, Dynamic Weather Overhall, and Maklanes Better Gunfights
have you tried euhm: stop npc xray?
No not yet! I'll give it a try right now, thank you!

sorry were you talking about this? Or a command/edit to a game file?
also anybody get insane fps drops when looking at any merchant??
Like what even is this
It's a feature

the memory leaks/frame drops will continue until morale improves
is this the power of ue5, aka ultra enshittification 5
game still runs shit after all them patches ?
unoptimised engine 5


Of course, nearly every visit to traders are like this
Sometimes I even need to restart the game
These drops are sometimes that insane that its hard to even save the game and exit it
Rest of the game my rig could handle at around 50 fps with everything on epic in 4k res and DLSS. Only hair on low because somwhere I have read that it helps with these drops but no luck actually
Cutscenes are also a bit choppy but not that bad
In my situation overall performance is better after all these patches but fps drops in bases/traders still persists

that never happened to me 
I get fps drops in towns but never when just looking at a trader and not to that degree. That's borderline unplayable.
Hey, when installing mods for stalker should i leave the mods in the pscks folder unpacked with pak file inside or should i put the pack file in the mods folder
Just unpack the files into your ~mods folder. If you don't have that folder make one.
It will recognize the mod files in a folder structure but they can't be compressed folders.
Easier to just drop the individual files into ~mods.
So even if there is a folder and in it a pack i should still fet the pack out of that folder right?
Correct. The .pak file will still work if it's inside a folder inside ~mods.
Thanks
Makes it easier to structure load orders if needed as well.
- download mod
- take the pak out
- place the pak in your ~mods folder
- its located under stalker2/content/paks/~mods
- if no ~mods make one
How is the game atm? A-Life fixed? Playable without mods? Recommended mods for good experience?
It's honestly pretty hit or miss currently. There are def mods that make it better. But they keep breaking shit every time they update.
!noalife


general consensus is that the game is slowly improving but still has a long way to go
A-Life is basically the same as launch, but tweaked a bit. Open world encounters happen less frequently and they've made actors spawn a bit further out instead of 5meters away at your blind spots (yet this still tends to happen sometimes, idk why). They also seem to interact with the world more (like stalkers looting dead bodies and such), but it's still not nearly as good as it should be
I can’t lie it just feels like stalkerified Far Cry :/ looks great but it’s more like any other Ubisoft game I’ve played. I’ll wait for decent modpacks in that time

Thanks for the info, gonna spend my time in Greyzone Warfare until its good 
Hi Stalkers, I completed first 3 Stalker games and i want more(and thats why i downloaded GAMMA project).
Is it worth buying STALKER 2?
wait for it to get a discount
i need help, npcs see me from far away, is there a mode for this? for anomaly
or how can i fix this
for anomaly you should ask in #╟🔰☢newbies-chat. This channel is for stalker 2
Ok thx for a tip. My friend also said that.
@blissful hinge can u pin here?
yes
Tl;dr
Wait, it's in "early access" (no alife 2.0, broken ai, broken quests, unbalanced economy without mods, unbalanced game features without mods,...) with no roadmap for "1.0" in sight.
Should i buy Stalker 2 or wait? [as of march 27th 2025]
Stalker 2 got released on november 20th 2024, since then there have been 3 major updates, every one of those focusing on major quest bugs and glitches.
On release several main quests where extremelly bugged to the point of not being able to complete the Main Story Quest.
On top of that, several side quests where bugged with items not being able to be turned in or found for them, With some completely breaking like that one zalissya quest iykyk.
The 3 major updates have fixed MOST of these issues but several critical stuff remains, such as memory leak and bad performance.
The game also runs on 5.1 and some bad software lumen, vram usage is high so sub 8gb vram users beware.
In between the 3 major updates there have been "Hotfixes" i put them in quote since often these fixes don't come in hot, like the awaited 1.3.1 (see gsc answers coldfix)
A CRITICAL MISSING FEATURE STILL IS A-LIFE 2.0 BEING ABSENT, INSTEAD RESEMBLING SOMETHING AKIN TO A FAR CRY SPAWNER/SKYRIM AI.
Albeit the devs have said this is one of the main priorities: we have seen little change in that regard since release 4 months ago.
We also don't really know what the vision is for this a-life 2.0 and the extend of it being broken (modders believe its beyond fucked, devman says dont worry)
To add a cherry on top: there is NO roadmap info (last mention of it was 2 months ago in gsc answers saying "its still being cooked"
There is NO SDK info, NO proper info on the state of a-life 2.0, how it will end up, the ai is broken and dumb, the balance without mods is not there, and a list of other annoying things.
For above reasons i a mod author for this games a-life 2.0 system and several other stalker 2 mod authors and players STRONGLY advice any player to wait it out if they can.
Not only will the game be cheaper in the long run, you can also closely follow development and perhaps updated versions of this comment to see progress.
Right now what is there is a skeleton of what it can be, it can be better but we aren't sure how long it will take and how the finished result will be compared to the foundational elements of this series we all love.
can u pin above please?
TL;DR

Farcry: Ukraine fr fr
im pretty sure I'm suppose to limit pins to modding information lol
nah look at pins, if 1.1 update gets pinned im sure a message explaining stalker 2 in the stalker 2 chat is allowed no?
Yap
TL;DR omggggg

any news about when they are gonna add multiplayer update?
Nothing yet.
they literally said they were gonna release the multiplayer update right after the release of the game
fake promises i guess
they "literally" didn't say that. They said multiplayer would be added as a free update in the future, with no specific dates or scheduling
and with all the crap that needs fixing, you can imagine MP is not a priority right now
i watched their pre-release videos a lot
but ye there's tons of bugs to be fixed first
this is the only official word about multiplayer. no dates, no schedules, nothing specific
makes sense
I wonder what's going on behind the scenes
confusion of the highest order
forcing developers to release the game quickly when they are having hard times themselves always ruins the gameplay after
people are always impatient
well, the game got delayed 3 times. At some point they gotta put the foot down
not their fault
it is when you get over-ambitious and bite more than you can chew
the fact that they had to butcher a-life this much in order to be able to release the game is very indicative that they were way in over their heads
shiiiii, the stuff here resembles rockstar level of ambitions. must be some slavic magic to make it work in long run
this game is literally: oh yeah you think i cant make a game? watch me! it will be groundbreaking! genre defying!
If this had been made by EA, Ubisoft or any other company that's trendy to hate, everyone would have been shitting on them since day one
heck, since the first delay announcement.
they wouldve teared them a new one
hate me for it but i think they shouldnt get a pass anymore due to the whole war situation
while we all agree that having to deal with the Russian invasion, moving half the team to the Czech Republic, having an office fire, swapping engines to UE5 (probably on Microsoft's orders) and all that shit sucks
but if you're in such a terrible situation, maybe tone down your ambitions a bit. Scale down.
its been 4 months, start showing up and stop using excuses
cant keep giving them the pass
in a very stupid analogy... if you got a leaky roof, you fix it before deciding to buy a new car 
the fact its been 4 MONTHS SINCE RELEASE with still no roadmap, and im not talking content, im talking actual what is going to be there like what are the fixes? wtf is even alife 2.0
Eepy
Yeah i'm sure the last years put a lot of pressure on the whole team. At least they still seem to be working on it, i am optimistic for a cyberpunk/No mans sky scenario


it all depends on how far Microsoft is willing to support them
at the very least, there's 2 or 3 story DLCs in the making. So we know the game will be at the very least, supported until these come out
It might be more copium but i think they want to milk that franchise long term
could be, but they won't be able to milk it if they can't make the game good 
That's why i'm optimistic and i'll wait with my first playthrough until we have a full version 
I have tempered hopes, the only thing I truly want from this game is for stability issues to be fixed. I couldn't care less about a-life or spongy aimbotting enemies
I've dealt with AIs more cheaty than this in plenty games
The real problem is the lack of content that isn’t part of the main story, amongst other things

no
yes
Maybe modders will save us, sometime in 5-10+ years 
doubt. SDK won't make miracles, and Epic won't allow the source code to be made public
we're not gonna get anything like a gamma 2, ever 
Let me enjoy my copium in peace, sense-making person 


You have to keep going in the zone, all your whiney quitting realism would not have gotten you past Cordon
I would see hip in rookie village and leave immediately
I thought this was a no women allowed experience
anyone believing gsc will be the studio out of all studios to get a massive native ue5 sdk is in over their heads
do you know about this error guys my gamma is up to date but I am not getting any 3d shaders scope and I also dont have crawling animation I am jealous with other people lol.. but do you know how to fix it?
You might have better luck asking in #╟🔰☢newbies-chat or #🔨base-gamma-support. This channel is for Stalker 2 
hey bro welcome back why u got banned
I lost a coinflip
fuck that twofaced guy honestly

that guy need to use d20 roll for that
if he rolls natural 1 he fucking kill himself
yo all, is there still no way to export LOD0 models from S2 ?
10gb update on steam 
UwU new update time to redownload ALL mods!
Babe wake up new stalker update just dropped! 
I'm at the point where if I hear another company say they are moving to UE5 I'm just going to write the game off.
Certified slop moment
Like how people making the Oblivion remake moved from the Skyrim engine to UE5
metal gear 3 remake is ue5, ninja gaiden 2 black is ue5
we're going into a black hole of ue5 slop and we already crossed the event horizon, there's no going back
must consume slop 
first berserker khazan is UE4 thankfully

Any benefits to siding with spark or the other ting with khurse-whatever the fuck -?
is that from one of the endings?
yes the ward one
about tree fiddy
Finna be me whenever I decide to actually finish the game (and not restart for the 69th time) 

instead of a yacht, skeefa gets a helicopter
apartments too
still chose to kill everyone and set the zone free tho
SKEEFA I DONT FEEL SO GOOD
too much altered toast
he ranned back in time, to CS game times
what even happened to bro between clear sky and now
besides the uh raid on the CPP
He was reborn
Now he craves copper wire to buy more coke
its a peaceful life
He was Reborn as a Doppelganger
The spiders vaporized them

Which fucking scar
He's been missing for the entire game
Bullshit patch, ong
Skyrim ass feature, ants
That's what they meant by A-Life 2.0, the A stands for Ant
AAHHAHAAHHAHA ffs
broken ass shit lol
300!?
the game is only (
) 155 gigs
actually insane how fucking massive Sdalger 2 is when in reality it should be like 20 gigs at most.
unreal 5 moment
my hatred for UE5 is endless
you could say it's... unreal
Average Stalker 2 small patch size
last patch it installed 960gb for me it said lmfao. not even possible
Oh I know. The last major patch said it was like 360 gigs for me or some insane shit.
Hey guys: p any good mods so far?
I like desolation and oxide armory the most so far, there’s also modular hard mode
I also am really enjoying Clikrad Reshade, but that’s just a visual preference thing
bro this patch been installing for like 45 minutes
ayup I experienced the same meme
Man I wish they would release the official mod tools so we can add guns
I miss my M1911
Next patch will be five hundred gigabytes
throw in 500 cigarettes and I may forgive them ||I won't||
Id love for someone to add more immersive content in the game:p LIKE MAKING MODIFYING GUNS WAY MORE EXCITING
500 (non smokeable) cigarettes 
its so anti climactic, like it doesnt really make any difference
:3 if you guys don’t know that dog emoji is my real dog
FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Thats a lot of fs and u’s
Also they need to make stalker 2 more friendly for potato pcs
I tried messing with the game on my old pc and I only got 2 fps every time no matter what
Also I wish they made equipping Gas masks realistic like the character plays an animation of him putting it on
:p its so weird just putting it on and nothing happening
i mean thats how it goes for most games too
Like that one mod on fallout 4 gas masks of the wasteland, its super cool
God ain't that the truth
Isn't it like 100 and something gigs currently
Anyone get weird artifacting around the border of your vision when using the NVGs in OXA?
Fuck yeah, it’s like a heavy game
If I remember correctly, wasn't the majority of it gigs from the first major update
Yes, but I’m pretty sure once A life update comes out, it’s gonna be a lot of gigs
It is beyond baffling to me that they even released the game when they did instead of letting it stay in the oven for like another 6 months to a year to fix all the stuff they're currently patching
Like imagine just randomly seeing this game then realizing it's about 200 gigs and still developed
Its crazy.
You got to wonder what made them release it in the state they did. My guess is some sort of deadlines
ooops, wrong channel 
Blame Microsoft and investors
You also gotta remember Stalker 2 has been canceled like 3 times over the course of 15 years or so
Really. Jeez, talk about development hell
byeah
Its a miracle that it even got released
true enough
Yeah
monkey's paw wish kinda thing
Yeah, you're kinda right
I just saw a Chimera drag some idiot off the trail
That's cool
actual true and real

Yeah cuz microsoft hates us
sent on gsc's website contact us. probably went straight into the garbage, also written by chat gpt and sounded pretty fuckin good lol
my hands are cold colonel
if it were me I'd just ignore that 

Is it normal that there isn't a single DLSS option in game? The weird part is Nvidia App shows that it should be in there
I'm playing on a 5080 so I don't see why it'd be omitted
Is it normal for the game to not work? Yes
That's pretty strange considering DLSS is available for all NVIDIA GPUs - at least 20 series and up I believe - but if you're talking about the frame gen, then that's only available for the 40 series and up.
Yeah lol incredibly strange, I remember having DLSS upscaling on my 3080 ti
That's just a given

Hi Kel, if my mod as you say makes no difference, then you have some conflict with other mods. I don't have to, but I have taken the time to do a bit of research, something everyone should do before installing something and compromising their save game or worse.
- The Desolation mod has not been updated to version 1.3 and is an overhaul that modifies many different files.
- OXA - Oxide's eXpanded Armory. You can use it, it's OK, they keep it updated and with active support in their thread. It doesn't interfere with my mod ‘Maklane's Better Gunfights’.
- Unrestricted Upgrades - NOT UPDATED FOR MONTHS.
- Dynamic Weather Overhaul - You can use it, it's OK. Another great modder keeping his work up to date and with active support in his thread.
Also, my Better Gunfights mod pairs very well with Shay's and LetsWoolGather's mods.
On another note, check your mods folder, especially if you've used Vortex at some point to install Stalker 2 mods.
I hope you get it sorted out 🙂
Thanks! Part of the reason I listed my mods is because I definitely thought there could be some kind of conflict. I had to reinstall my game anyway from the last patch so it’ll be a good chance to get my mods in order
um what

Hi guys, what's the shader called in mo2? Not a big fan, and I want to disable it. thanks!

@molten orchid, 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.
Gotta take off your role :)
We should do a competition to see whoever has the most gigs in their stalker update

No worries, Good luck.
found the issue with my crash and it was in the WIN64 folder where i had a reshade installed. Anyone know a good reshade for AMD that wont crash stalker 2?
is a working alife system still not in the game? 
The problem is the Engine. They will probably "Eventually" come up with a solution that mimics the alife system but I honestly don't think we will ever get a comparable version in UE5.
mimicking an alife system is not what the game advertised

hey, just wondering if anyone knows of a mod that lets you autoplay the guitar in Stalker 2 like you can in GAMMA? I would love to just sit down at a campfire and have it playing while I wait for better weather etc.

Hello guys, is there already a mod like gamma for stalker 2?
I dont think so
Ok thank you
You can google if you want tho
i think they need more time to make free play mod for Stalker 2
Yeah i believe it too
Probably won't happen. I doubt GSC will ever make it open source like they did with the og trilogy.
There are quite a few overhaul mods. You can check on nexus or in https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1309526198833119303
Nothing to the degree of anomaly/gamma though.
thank you man



do I open the rabbit hole that is Stalker 2 modding and try to finetune a playthrough? Or do I wait for A-life somewhere in 2030 or so. Can't decide
not sure how "fun" the game is yet with mods, tbh. Vanilla felt pretty empty and bland on release all things considered
Mods can make a pretty big impact on the game. I'd recommend checking the overhaul mods in https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1309526198833119303 or nexus. MHM is pretty fun if you like difficult content.
Hey, maybe not the correct place to ask, but how many mods am I supposed to have? I just finished the installation and it says that I have 444 mods active
heh, this does look pretty good, cheers

Ahh, ty
as mentioned above, wrong channel. But the 444 mods active is a common issue on first install. Should go away if you just update from the launcher again
hallo im in a dilema right now should i shoot or spare the doctor in red forest?
That's up to you. Roll the dice.
yeah but wont it change my ending?
Yes
i want to spare him but i dont want to betray strelock
I'd refrain from too many spoilers though.
if i spare him can i still go with strelock or do i need to shoot him?
ok i think i will shoot him then

WHAT DO THEY MEAN
skeefa
I cant get over this meme, its just ... peak
thinkin about giving this game another try... what mods are gamma enjoyers using these days?
I am enjoying a mod that removes the main story
do you have that saved or is that in tenor
saved
hello
is there a way to change the default keybind for command console with modded stalker?

Fucking hell, I thought the Skif path was kinda hard but Ward is on whole another level. I love fighting infinitely spawning monolith
Do you guys also suffer from massive framedrops after 1.3 or 1.3.1? Sometimes the game becomes totally unplayable (mostly in stalker camps) - 7 fps or so and textures are flickering etc.
Only way to get rid of it is to restart the game. Until the next framedrop...
I hit the switch while ||fighting Scar|| when he was about to hit me and dude is now stuck crying 
I have not experienced anything that severe but It does seem there has been some degradation in performance after 1.3.1. There also does seem to be some texture issues on certain surfaces but this is fixable by loading a save.
As hilarious as that is, I think it's a softlock
You can't enable console again to try to open him up to attack more?
Sounds like a reload a save and try again situation. :/
Easiest boss fight anyway 
What the fuck did this patch do. Korshunov disappeared after cutscene. At least the script is still going even though he isn't there
Ok, seems that my massive fps drops are related to the Reshade. Deleted reshade completly from my game and it seems to work fine. Anyone have experienced something like this?
Sometimes I have purple textures which look hilarious but i'm playing vanilla
On metal surfaces? If so this can be fixed by reloading a save. I'm not sure what breaks the textures.
It's not uncommon for ReShade to have a negative impact on performance, But it depends on the changes you are doing.
I don't mean the overall performance but fps drops. I lost around 2-3 fps after using reshade but the game overall mostly works fine. The fps drops to 6 or 7 is what a problem is
Is it happening when entering a town/hub or when just wandering around?
Mostly town/hub
Or other heavy populated places
It looks like reshade causes memory leaks in my game
NPC's are a huge resource draw in UE5 so the more in a rendered area the larger the impact. If reshade has certain features enabled or turned up it could have an impact, But going down to 6-7 seems extreme.
It's probably making them worse. S2 is basically swiss cheese when it comes to mem leaks.
I use clikrad reshade so it shouldn't be as much heavy
I'm not familiar with that one, I'll have to look it up.
I remember got similar problem few updates ago and deleted reshade because of this
Thought that now will be better, it doesn't
Aren't there some people that get very few issues while others have totally broken playthroughs? Or am I on some of that Freedom zaza? Gotta quite smoking that shit
The only thing I can think of is trying to update to the newest VCRedlist and .NET framework. Even then I'm not 100% sure why it would be doing it all of a sudden for you.
I feel like that's always the case in almost all PC games. People have such varying hardware in PCs that issues are inevitable.
It does seem to be the rule though in something as unoptimized as S2.
Consoles are more consistent since it's the same hardware configuration whereas PCs can be a myriad of hardware configs so it's more difficult to track down and reproduce certain issues
PCs are still better though
Okay, will try
Speaking of, how does it run with the newer patches?
I'm not expecting miracles of course and the progress seems somewhat promising from my angle but I've yet to play so I can see for myself
Sides, the trilogy, Anomaly and Gamma should keep me busy for the time being alongside new and old games I've been playing as of late
Checked, everything is updated already on my PC
Game runs a little better on my PC even though new bugs appeared as I said above
Software development do be like that at the best of times
It's very hit or miss. It's def better than release but marginally. Mods can help make it passible but it still has a long way to go.
But holy shit, I hope someone makes a mod that rebalances Granite fight
I do love getting hit through 2 layers of cover because dude clips through a wall
The updates seem promising for the most part and they are regular so that's a start. But still a ways to go before it runs and feels like a dream
Some of the overhaul mods do this. Notably MHM changes it quite a bit. But those mods are normally much harder than base game.
I'd love to see a Stalker 2 Anomaly in the future
hmm, I'm not sure. May have to wait for another update from GSC to see if it gets fixed.
As would I but Epic is never going to give us access to the source code to the same degree GSC did with Xray. I doubt it will ever get to a standalone version.
I could do with Gunslinger mod
You can access the source code for yourself on Github. Just need an Epic account and Github account
I sound like I'm on that Freedomer fent but I can prove it. Hopefully
For generic UE5 yes, but not the version GSC is using. That's why we need to wait for an SDK to basically do anything major.
Ok that's fair enough
Something like this is most likely. As I said before there are quite a few overhaul mods in development right now just waiting for SDK to come out to really go nuts.
Isn't an SDK confirmed by GSC?
A-Life is confirmed by GSC 
Yes, but no timeframe and we don't know how much it's going to allow us to do. They could just give basic mod tools and let us develop more tools which will take time.
I didn't ask that but whatever
Might as well fix the awful brightness balance. I am either blinded by a single lamp when underground or can't see shit because I took 10 steps away from said lamp
Real talk though, we'll wait and see on that
Their eye adaptation is gross. And disabling it introduces all of it's own problems since it controls lighting in coversations. It's a mess.
Whatever they give modders will be a step in the right direction
Remind me what that is. Haven't played but am interested
Yeah, and we should be patient. My theory is that the SDK will be published last, after finishing the game, the DLCs and Multiplayer
It's basically how the brightness changes based on the light sources you are standing in.
Your probably not wrong honestly.
I hope they pool all the resources into fixing the single player before working on the multiplayer
So the closer you get to a light source, the brighter it appears or is that completely wrong?
Sometimes it makes my Agroprom Underground seem like Mexico due to me being blinded BY A SUN UNDERGROUND
I just hope they come through, these are big plans considering they are in exile and all the other troubles
If your standing in darkness it makes where there is light (like outside the building) increadably bright to make it seem like your eyes are adjusting.
Didn't answer the question
I knew Avaunt would so I decided to rant immediately 
Seems like an interesting system that needs to be retuned
With what GSC went through, I'm surprised we even have Stalker 2 at all
Pretty much, kinda same conclusion all of us is making since its probably a huge undertaking for GSC to make for UE.
IF we even gonna get an sdk that isnt bare bones
I agree completely. I never expected to get a fully polished experience out of GSC. I however do think they need to start to temper expectations because it seems like they promise a lot but have nothing to show that progress is actually being made.
Yeah that's why i'm not so hard on them as others, i even bought the ultimate version to support. I am a big stalker fan and i hope they do well as a company and deliver a great S2 one day
We do always get the slavjank experience from GSC but they did hype it up a little too much which has caused a few issues in the community
Two issues that we were the most vocal about were performance and post-SIRCAA bugs which were very valid
I enjoy a certain amount of jank. I'm a Bethesda fan afterall, But there are just plain broken and half baked systems that are head scratchers all over the place.
But I thought the game would be released in even worse state
The biggest issue is they wont answer questions properly lol.
Personally i have no problems with the game being incomplete since it can be fixed
Least we didn't get a repeat of the Cyberpunk launch experience which is something at least
This, Don't have a QA session if every answer is going to be "We can say anything about this".
Yeah they could work on their communication, that's true. The understanding for their unique situation and the love for the game ends somewhere
Oh boy don't remind me of that xD At one point it looked like it may take down CDPR
Aren't they ESL or no?
True, it took awhile but they turned that experience around completely. I'm hoping for something similar from GSC.
Esl?
Hello Games did it with No Man's Sky and CDPR did it with Cyberpunk so it's reasonable to say that GSC can also have a redemption arc. We'll see
English as second language
It's a shame that companies get to just release incomplete products and not get punished for that
Oh probably but that shouldnt really stop them from giving some type of value in their responses
"We will fix that trust trust pls gib money buy DLC"
It's a fair critique
I hope so, I really do. Stalker is one of my favorite franchises of all time. But I would be remiss to just trust them blindly. CDPR and hello game pulled a rabbit out of a hat with those turn arounds. Most developers don't achieve anything like that.
Yeah you have to get real lucky with that. But sometimes unforeseen consequences happen and that definitely happened with GSC
CD Projekt did wait until the game was fixed before they released Phantom Liberty
I think most consumers arent as lenient as 20 years ago either today since the market is so saturated so we expect top notch quality
And i agree
While I agree that they definitely had to deal with an almost insurmountable amount of turmoil, We still have to hold them to a standard. That's how things get fixed.
Plus back in the day, content delivery pipelines weren't much of a thing so it forced developers to get it done and not have to fix it later
That does seem to be happening to an extent which is nice
Never had a developer send a floppy disk in the mail to fix a bug?
😄
That would actually be the best joke ever
It's happened lol.
As long as we dont get a tiny update every 2 years that break half the mods 
(Looking at you Bethesda)
Definitely before my time. I'm not an old head btw
I feel sorry for the modders that have to fix that
lol, I remember floppy disks being on the school supplies list. >.<
That must've been an interesting time

Btw. is Richter actually retarded? "Skeefa zone must continue to exist Skeefa it's beautiful look over there, a Vortex just tore a rookie to shreds". Dude would rather help ||Scar zombify everyone|| than help ||Ward actually purge the whole area||.
