[finite needle]

like permanent NPCs, fucking battles, dynamic area of control, today there's freedom at the post, tomorrow might be duty and so on and so on

and yet I'll be bored after SIRCAA anyway.

[late kernel]

Not gonna happen until they fully optimize CPU bound scenarios in the game, loading a dozen idling AI in Rostok makes your PC beg for its life

and stop forcing ray tracing on all PCs

Other games using non-raytraced global illumination looks almost just as good

without cutting your frames in half

[finite needle]

Lumen looks like crap, I think it's the only thing I can agree with this community regarding the game.

Other than that I pretty much disagree on everything else

[late kernel]

Nanite makes crazy popping in and LODs look like crap

[pseudo falcon]

wait really?
damn
why are old ALife much better than new one lel

[finite needle]

game really gonna put a cyberpunk 2077 and become a finished product in 2.0

[stoic lichen]

Shame, I love the atmosphere of Stalker 2 sometimes. It’s everything else that fell apart lol.

[finite needle]

Eh, they're fixing it. I've waited for like 12 years, I can wait a couple more. (plus I never paid for the trilogy when I played it originally because back then piracy WAS the way to get games, so I don't mind having paid for Stalker 2, but that's just me)

[rugged glacier]

a-life 2.0 in game version 2.0
poetic to say the least

[prime shell]

guess i am one of the few people that was actually surprised how much i liked it on release, sure it is a buggy mess with a lot missing, but it felt like stalker to me and that is all i hoped for. mods and patches are improving it exponentially

[finite needle]

No no I agree, the game is fundamentally Stalker. Just, it's a bit too long of a game and drags for a bit too much. Up until SIRCAA is excellent, later it shows a bit how little there is to do except the main story, which is fine if you didn't have the zone replicated 1:1, which is HUGE, and you have to walk most of it with not much happening in between.

[unkempt lagoon]

... okay apparently stalker 2 just works now after this update (was having issues where the game straight refused to launch, at all before this patch.)

also when the focus of development drastically shifts toward making a graphically impressive game, the quality faulters in much of the other departments. 💀

[prime shell]

guess I am even a bit weirder then cause i like the emptiness of it, kind of feel like it should a bit barren. but then i always turned down the spawn rates in anomaly and EFP because i disliked how populated the zone got, reentering army warehouses after having just cleared it for constant gunfire and explosions again

[finite needle]

Me playing FFXIV at launch:

[prime shell]

very nice. mine crashes now because my mods don't work =)

[finite needle]

That's fine, I was talking more about the lack of meaningful secondary content. CoP reached a decent balance between task/quest density and actual area you travel, and I know it's kind of asking too much for Stalker 2 to do the same, but at least give me more than 4 quests to do with Freedom and Duty IN TOTAL.

[prime shell]

ah for sure, the side content beyond exploration is massively lacking, even just something like a bounty system would be great

but i guess their "alife" wouldn't really handle it well

[wooden glade]

Meanwhile vanilla CoP has a NPC render range of roughly 150 - 200m lol

[pseudo falcon]

bruh
is there a mod to extend the render range

[nocturne smelt]

Nope

[pseudo falcon]

so npc will still spawn near you?

[nocturne smelt]

There are mods that push them out a bit but yes, It's a possibility.

[pseudo falcon]

also
my mods will fxk up in this update
but mods that somehow only edits stats and such still work for me

[nocturne smelt]

Depends on what they changed in the cfgs.

[pseudo falcon]

i still have those old mod that like removes vignette still work

[minor remnant]

pushes a patch that crashes the game on startup 🥲

[pseudo falcon]

if u have mods
remove them first and test the game if it runs lol

[minor remnant]

I removed all my mods, and redownloaded the game

[pseudo falcon]

kek

[minor remnant]

I redownloaded the full 150gb+ 🥲

[lapis hornet]

why not just delete the mods folder xD update and new game

[minor remnant]

I'll try, thanks for the suggestion.
I don't mind starting a new game tbh.

[jovial berry]

https://old.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1kn94xq/psa_mod_compatibility_warning_for_stalker_2_v14/?ref=share&ref_source=link

[lapis hornet]

think most mods will be broken till tested/updated

[minor remnant]

This fixed it, I manually deleted my mod folder.
For some wierd reason, Vortex didn't delete my mods even tho I've uninstalled them in the app.
I didn't bother looking at the mods folder at first and trusted Vortex.
Not sure how the mods persisted tho even after I've uninstalled/redownloaded the game.

[finite needle]

Protip, Vortex is the fucking worst.

[lapis hornet]

ahh tru, id chuck a quick verify integrity of files though steam then it should be fresh and ready when mods are updated 🙂

[unkempt lagoon]

okay nvm not playing stalker 2

gpu literally shot up to 80 fucking degrees in less than 10 minutes of play

[lapis hornet]

whats the gpu?

[unkempt lagoon]

Gigabyte 7800 XT OC

[lapis hornet]

hawt

[unkempt lagoon]

I know AMD shit usually runs hot

but jesus christ, it aint supposed to do that 💀

[finite needle]

You gotta bring back the old school tricks, open the case and plant a fan directly on it

like the whole ass a/c

[lapis hornet]

AMD's under load is generally between 65°C - 85°C should be fine man

[unkempt lagoon]

here's the issue

[summer vapor]

80° C is normal

[unkempt lagoon]

I AIN'T. CAUSE THIS MF SITS RIGHT NEXT TO ME. 💀

top of the fucking case feels like it could slow cook meat

[summer vapor]

limit the power in adrenaline

[finite needle]

skill issue

[unkempt lagoon]

yea tried that, even tried to use undervolting via adrenalin

proceeded to cause instability (I could probably get it working but lord have mercy I don't want to break this fuckin new gpu)

[icy basin]

Shrimply cook meat on the CPU

[chilly ore]

I read the patch notes and it appears like they only kind of half-fixed ai and some bugs... is that it?

💀

A whole update full of nothingburgers

[jovial berry]

Not really, some welcomed changes to AI and combat

hoping that 1.5 will be actually substantial

[chilly ore]

Mutants are still bullet sponges and human enemies are still "just pop them in the head"

From my point of view, this game has certain priorities and it feels like they're focusing on the least immediately important things.

Why fix mutant behavior and "passive existence" if fighting them is still dull?

[jovial berry]

check out some of the combat/weapon overhauls when they update

Better Ballistics, MHM and Infinity are good starting points

[chilly ore]

I already played with Infinity. The base game is a totally braindead, built-for-console experience.

[jovial berry]

Facts

[chilly ore]

Games built for console just feel like shit

It's especially bad when it's a pc exclusive with a sequel made with console in mind

The controls get so dumbed-down

[jovial berry]

Pretty much everything is dumbed down

Gen Z Stalker

[chilly ore]

Even the game developing process what dumbed down (UE5) 💀

You know what I want? A mod that disable THE GAME CHANGING MY SENSITIVITY ON THE FLY

There's few things worse than something actively lowering your sensitivity.

gettin in water, bloodsuckers, etc.

It's another symptom of the game being made for console

[jovial berry]

oh yeah that shit is fucking annoying as hell

[chilly ore]

I doubt they playtest this on a PC

They are probably like the BF6 playtesters

Thumbless lobotomites that can barely move and aim at the same time

[daring moss]

will GAMMA come to stalker 2 at some point?

[kindred violet]

You certainly have some interesting takes

[icy basin]

Check in 50 years

[long laurel]

No Grok don't like the game.
Maybe when they finish it.

[prime shell]

MHM probably not gonna be updated for weeks

[odd fjord]

how about you ask ani in mhm mod post, but they said 1-2 weeks

not trying to come over as offensive

[prime shell]

nah my bad, should have said they have said "a few weeks"

[daring moss]

i didnt like it as much either, felt repetetiv and a little to arcade ish.

[finite needle]

Bro fucking Stalker fans kept making compilation about fucking NPCs being NPCs instead of actual people and spamming ALIFE every waking moment, of course they gonna focus on that shit

[warped monolith]

yep... happens when people bitch and moan and whine about "muh alife" for 6 months

[remote eagle]

[chilly ore]

AI is like a cake, there are some core ingredients and steps that need to be done right, otherwise you risk ruining the whole thing and making it inedible (or bad).
A-life is nothing but a something akin to a mold, it helps give the cake its charm and long-term impact, but ultimately, the AI in this game is completely broken and the enemies are so annoying to fight against it feels like they forgot to put in the baking powder and think that perfecting the mold will make the cake edible again.

Something so simple such as adding loot to mutants and making them not be bullet sponges

but no, make them have eating animation, so next time I have to waste 1 trillion bullets I can at least feel immersed for 2 seconds before doing so

[chilly ore]

I've seen too many cases

A lot of game devs nowadays can't even play their own game

Can't possibly comprehend what makes a game good and always go for shortcuts (cuz bringing ez profits to shareholders is number 1 priority)

And the whole "endumbment" of game systems for the sake of selling slop to slop enjoyers (console players) is that they cripple the base game and gimp its base capabilities, so even mods have difficulty fixing it

Something so simple such as having 4 keybinds for consumables is something they didn't even think about bcz console doesn't have that many keys, so they went for 2 keybinds and good luck quick-using something that requires you to hold a button (you can't have extra keybinds, tough luck, get bent)

Dying Light (both games) having a shit-ton of consumables and ultimately having none of them being used because 3 of the are necessary and they decided to only add 4 quick use slots so you only choose 1 consumable out of the 20 something they have

Such simple designs gimped by corposhit and dumb playtesters

[finite needle]

Dude if I hire a playtest for like 200 nicaraguan dollars because fuck paying people I also expect them to greenlight anything I tell them it's good enough to ship

[chilly ore]

The point is that they don't even think about stuff, they just blindly do what the higher ups say and the higher-ups don't even know if the game is coming out good or not.
It's a lack of passion, communication and even effort

[finite needle]

Hard to have passion when you make like no money and your livelihood depends on the mood of your boss.

[chilly ore]

That's why games suck

It's not a sin to point that out

Indie games work better because the devs actually play their own game and are "connected" to the end product

[finite needle]

I think it's just because they want to make a game instead of money, but hey that's just me

[chilly ore]

but when you have 6 programmers and none of them are actually playing the game to see if it all comes together nicelly, you're bound to have a mess.

[chilly ore]

You speak like you're trying to convince me of something I already know

[finite needle]

I get you, but I feel the issue here is more, unironically, of skill rather than passion. I don't think they are as competent as they think they are

[chilly ore]

I don't think fighting a bloodsucker and realizing it has too much hp, and then lowering it, is a matter of skill.

And I never said the issue is passion alone

I said that they barely know what they're doing and they don't test their own game to know if what they are doing is actually working.

[finite needle]

Nah that's because they don't know how to balance it properly. They want to appeal to the "hardcore game" fanbase, but also more casual playerbase because well, duh, obviously. The simplest way is to just bloat HP.

[chilly ore]

This taps into the endumbment (or lobotomization, ig) of modern games which I already talked about.

anways, gtg

[finite needle]

Bye then

see you in like 5 months or whenever I get another sick leave and can be a piece of shit in front of Discord

[warped monolith]

damn

the yap is strong with this one

[jovial berry]

A game for everyone is a game for no one

[warped monolith]

It still kinda baffles me how devs do this stupid Bethesda-esque approach to difficulty by just making enemies take forever to die

it doesn't improve the enjoyment of the game for anyone

[finite needle]

Doom solved this conundrum in like 1993 by simply adding different enemies and different placement into the levels depending on difficulty (in addition to more health and damage of course)

[warped monolith]

they didn't have more health

but yeah, they do difficulty correctly. Enemy placement, damage dealt, number/composition of enemies on the map

[finite needle]

They do in Doom 2016, of that I am sure. Might be wrong on that, but I promise you that placement and variety is vastly different in the OG doom games

[warped monolith]

uh... you said 1993 so I thought you were talking about the OG

[finite needle]

Nah I got it wrong, they do more damage, but their health pool is the same. Might have more health on Nightmare tho.

[warped monolith]

I'm not sure if they have more health in 2016, but I know they don't in the originals

iirc in Nightmare they move fast (and shoot faster projectiles) and respawn a few seconds after death

[finite needle]

for sure nightmare had respawning and faster enemies, because I u sed to play fast ultra-violence back when I still had the patience of doing that shit

like I want the game to punish me, but I also want to have fun (no respawn)

[warped monolith]

UV -fast was fun

[finite needle]

anyway, I also understand that it's kinda hard to balance difficulty in this kind of open world free roaming games. Maybe making resources rarer is a way to balance it? like, the survival mode of Fallout 4 is the best way to play Fallout 4, should have been baseline with normal saves.

Something similar without the Dark Souls bed/bonfire save meme would be ideal imho.

[warped monolith]

I fully agree with you on fallout 4. I slapped a mod on it to allow regular saving in survival mode and it was just perfect. Everything dies fast including you, so you need to be careful

problem with balancing resource scarcity is that most players grab everything that isn't bolted down, so it simply becomes a matter of how long it'll take for resource management to stop being an issue.
And this is something that I hate on stuff like GAMMA, making artificial difficulty to keep you in the 'hobo phase' for way too long

then again, I'm not a game dev so if I'm not being paid to think about this stuff, I usually don't I could imagine some ways to make a game challenging without making it boring but it would really depend on what the game actually is. Then it's a matter of working to find the most elegant and simple solution to make it hard but not stupid

imo another awful thing Fallout 4 did was the legendary enemies regenerating health when hitting 50%

good thing they got rid of that in fo76

[finite needle]

Eh, some more hunger/thirst/sleep management survival thing with more damange/limit on health item usage could go miles, but I wouldn't know how to do it either.

Ironically, the survival mode from Fallout 4 takes inspiration from the New Vegas hardcore mode, which was heavily inspired by Call of Pripyat iirc. So we would go full circle

[ember ether]

sup guys, thoughts on the new update? is it better now?

i see its 1.4 now

[warped monolith]

We thought that these updates deserve their own spotlight, please be ready!

Fixed an issue where shooting at sausage props produced blood particles
Fixed an issue where ducks could fly into the water after being shot at.

[golden hazel]

So you're telling me

[ember ether]

"Increased number of generic heads for NPC randomization"
so no more twins/triplets/quintuplets/infiniplets

i did noticed that npcs looked very alike

[prime shell]

fo:4 definitely got the combat right for the hardcore difficulty, all for making enemies much more deadly, but still keeping you as deadly as them. stalker 2 mod called "hardcore realistic zone overhaul" did a really good job of the mutants, example making blood suckers faster and more deadly, but a couple of well placed shotgun shots and they were dead which was hard with their increased movement speed (though they were a bit comically fast sometimes)

I'm checking v1.4 now, but it crashes if you have console enabled :/

put the mods out, start the game, should work fine

you can put in UEtools again after that

wtf I just checked

It's gone now.
GSC what are you doing

Honestly I'm extremely disappointed by now.
GSC seems to be doing everything in their power to go against bot players and modders, even slipping up on important shit like A-Life actually being what its supposed to be.

[odd fjord]

fuck em hha

https://tenor.com/view/dont-care-forget-it-no-gif-20897153

[tacit glacier]

If you have simple mod loader, remove it and update to the latest version.
GSC explicitly went out of their way to break bootstrap mod loading, but a workaround was found.
You will have to re-add all mods you use with SML

[swift arch]

I dont play with any mods. I play vanilla.

[tacit glacier]

Oh. Then I have no clue. Try verifying the game files.
The GetDeviceRemovedReason seems to be tied to GPU driver crashing.

[swift arch]

Allright. Thanks you. I try my best to get it run. 😄

[odd fjord]

did gsc actually tho

with sml

[tacit glacier]

The changelog says "an attempt to adapt for v1.4 after GSC explicitly went on path to block user bootstrap entries"

[midnight ridge]

They were liers since announcing Oblivion Lost

So, since 2001

[tacit glacier]

Maluch in pfp
Statement approved

[midnight ridge]

I remember their statement where they said you could go to the CNPP since the beginning... But there is no CNPP in S2

[old nacelle]

can someone tell me good brightness settings for the game i cant seem to find the right ones

[prime shell]

stuff has always been cut from games, problem now is devs go on about stuff way too early and then can't commit/run out of funding/lie whatever it is. i knew nothing about stalker 2 apart from it was being made and i was pleasantly surprised by it, unlike stalker 1 were i remember reading in magazines and stuff about vehicles and the size of the zone etc and it just wasn't and that was disappointing, still loved it though

[molten osprey]

Ambitions are cool, and realizing later on that technical issues and the Code just make it difficult/impossible is alright, but doing the same thing 20 years later is kinda crazy

[icy basin]

Different team, same name, same mistakes
Except this time the main developers didn't leave a year before release to go make a better game several years later, Metro 2033

[molten osprey]

maybe it isnt public

and we gonna get subway station 1933 in 4 years

[icy basin]

We'll see in a few years

[warped monolith]

not yet

hasn't been a year since stalker 2 came out

[feral elbow]

(Google is not helping me I tried first) can anyone tell me (DM me if you can’t put spoilers here) what side missions change / are unavailable after that ONE mission? (I might be taking too much precaution with spoilers so let me know if we can talk freely here…)

[prime shell]

think DUGA one is the main one you won't naturally stumble upon following the story

then two minor ones, ||the fresh bread in rostok and the 3 guys in cordon at night|| beyond that, not too sure from memory

||anything in lesser zone and icarus (if sided with ward) the two side quests at chemical plant as well if you're gonna side with strider, they might go as well if you side with ward in sircaa? not sure||

[feral elbow]

Thanks!

[prime shell]

there could be more, that is just what i remember =D

[feral elbow]

Wonder why they decided to remove so many side quests at that point of the game

[prime shell]

well story wise ||lesser zone basically gets wiped out so the quests aint there, icarus the same, either all the troops pull out or become zombies so no quests, the bread is rostok not sure beyond the treaty being void so i guess freedom doesnt care, the 3 guys duty and freedom are at war again so guess they can't meet up, duga all the military died so no military to do that quest with, chemical plant if you're with strider/spark ward shoot at you on site so can't take their quest =D||

[feral elbow]

True, guess it makes sense just seems like you have to go out of your way to do some quests but I guess that’s not bad

[arctic marsh]

Man people's idea of the old stalker AI is way exaggerated

[warped monolith]

[arctic marsh]

they would get a task, and try and take over small outposts, mostly

some cool little things like scientists artifact hunting

[warped monolith]

anyone who thinks it's anything more than "sit at camp for 5 minutes, walk out, die to anomaly/mutants" is delusional

[arctic marsh]

but really wasnt much more than that. EXACTLY bro I dunno where these people think the AI had like Daily routines where they left their base to go find food, hunt, change their sheets, trade with npcs all this insane shit i see on the reddit

with some of the latest mods the AI is a little better in the old games but not much more. Mods like alpha do have some added features but they are off for a reason they just cause bugs

[prime shell]

i do remember back in the day being like omg they are actually flanking me and going silent to try and sneak etc. and it's still better than a lot of games but that isn't saying much at all, but yeah... they still reload out of cover and all sorts of dumb stuff though

[warped monolith]

the first encounter with the two bandits at the very start of the game was impressive imo
one chucked grenades at my cover while the other flanked and rushed me with a boomstick

[uneven heron]

I have the feeling the GSC is somewhat torn.

I want to be an asshole, but I have the feeling that they are logistically at odds.

1. they have to continue developing the game because it was released in Early Access.

2. they have to also continue developing the expansions so that they can make more software sales

3. they also have to create a full 2.0 release with an expansion for the PS5 for further software sales due to Xbox Live deal (which was needed to keep afloat)

This creates a logistics issue, and a development pipeline issue.

But I don't know.

[finite needle]

Yeah they gonna do like CP2077 and release the full game when the DLC comes out

[finite needle]

I was playing Radiophobia and they did exactly that. Went around to point of interest, pretended to do stuff, then went back to Rostock and left to camp somewhere else, roaming. It helps immersion, but gameplay wise it does nothing of value. I've had a squad leave rostok, camp in garbage and stay there for the rest of the game, only to move into the hangar when an emission happens or to kill the occasional mutant.

To be fair, GSC clamoring fro a life doesn't really help

[uneven heron]

I hope that's the case. With the rate of patches going 1 per month, 2.0 will be around the 1 year mark

[finite needle]

CP2077 released 2.0 after almost 3 years, so that would be fine

But to be fair, game was fixed by the time the anime came out. 2.0 was just when the game could finally be called complete.

[uneven heron]

Hahaha, very true.

I'm hoping it's sooner.

S2 isn't as big of a game as 2077, so with that scale difference I'd hope that it's not that big of a timeline.

Also, the SDK coming out should be a boon as well for content. Well, so long as the SDK is worth more than dick spit.

[arctic marsh]

the combat AI is what made old stlaker so good

honestly rarely ever saw them "hunting artifacts" in gamma or custom, but did enjoy catching them walking from point to point

its was pretty basic but added a lot of fun when the dynamic combat AI that put up an awesome fight went to you

[warped monolith]

ah yes getting sniped by a renegade with a toz from 300m was peak combat AI

[tame onyx]

Don't forget the grenade spam with rando bandits having throw accuracy like Stephen Curry shooting 3-pointers

[wary nimbus]

Do you guys also have crash on startup with Ultra+ installed after the 1.4 update?

[arctic marsh]

nah but let's be real it was fun to fight, sometimes after killing a guys squad the last weakest guy would run and go hide and while your looting come up and try and kill you

cool little things like that, or hed go join anohter squad and hate you for life the AI all had their own personal opinion of you plus their faction opinion

[tame onyx]

Yes I was experiencing crashes with Ultra+, as well as with the FG3 mod file

[arctic marsh]

so a guy in a freindly faction could hate you a ton and actually shoot you on site even if he's in a freindly squad

I'd love to see those types of things added to stalker 2

along with the score board to see whos the most badass stalker on the map

all nice little touches that made the game world feel alive

[wary nimbus]

But have you launched game at all?

My game crashes at startup

[tame onyx]

Yes I had to remove all of my mods including Ultra+ and Simple ModLoader (the latter of which has been updated for 1.4)
Depending on how heavily modded your existing save was it might not be possible to get it to load without crashing :\

But I've started a new playthrough with a few mods working for 1.4 and it's been going fine so far

[wary nimbus]

I've started a new playthrough too

No crashes except Ultra+

With Ultra+ i cannot even start the game, it crashes on shader compilation

I'm just curious if anyone is having the same problem

[drowsy umbra]

anyone else getting regular crashes since the patch?

Fatal error: [File:Unknown] [Line: 880] CurrentQueue.Device->GetDevice()->GetDeviceRemovedReason() failed at D:\STALKER2\s2editor\Engine\Source\Runtime\D3D12RHI\Private\D3D12Submission.cpp:919 with error 887A0006 this one is coming up like all the time

I have lik 5 crashes in 5 minutes in Zalissya

[hollow frigate]

buckshot to the back

turns around unharmed

[cedar pond]

Hey guys did they patch it where npcs won’t stop spawning around you ?

[wary nimbus]

Do you guys encountered a bug that makes the radio noise still hearable after radio conversation has ended?

Very annoing

[tame onyx]

I see Ultra+ just got updated in the last hour.

[wary nimbus]

Good to know, also I fixed my problem with complete reinstall of U+

1.4 corrupted U+ files somehow

[empty lion]

any way to revert to 1.3?

wanna do a playthrough with new game start and mhm/desolation

[haughty sierra]

Stalker 2 unplayable on Xbox rn because the Sensitivity is locked to the slowest

So people literally cant turn fast

[cloud verge]

Would u guys say stalker 2 in its current state with the mods is good to play/continue or wait for the modding tools

[prime shell]

i've had that since release, loading fixes it

[prime shell]

well lots of mods atm just don't work due to the patch, so wait a bit either way =D but the overhaul mods do make it very enjoyable once they are updated

[cloud verge]

Oh

[smoky temple]

On steam?

[pseudo falcon]

my mods i added are still working for me
on this new 1.4 update

also i wonder when i can sprint while reloading or healing
also 3d pda like in gamma

[frozen sundial]

best bet (personal experience) don't let the Radio convo get interrupted and it will turn off as intended, but easier said than done, reload like Babydel said, fixes reliably

[wary nimbus]

Yeah, I'll load, thanks for suggestion. But still, pretty annoying bug

[pseudo falcon]

what mod adds more upgrades or replace the magical upgrade that adds more range and such
i use fubar mod

[molten osprey]

You know in the beginning it didnt have a deadzone

Meaning when you played on Release and the Wind touched your analog stick, you would turn in a circle the whole time and have massive stick drift

Mfs learned nothing from the og port

[haughty sierra]

that is so funny

[molten osprey]

Had to swap to mouse and keyboard, i atleast wanted to try Controller but no chance

[muted elk]

look for a mod wich skips the shader warmup, this fixed it for me

[cloud wasp]

hi... i have a problem with the new patch. the game lauch in ukrainian language and after lauch the title screen, he imediately crash. i lauch the checking file but not working. I reinstalled but the same thing . Is there a solution?

[muted elk]

install this

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/97?tab=posts

[cloud wasp]

oh thanks but i succes to fix the problem. My mods are probably not compatible, i deleted them

[muted elk]

thats interesting cuz i modded the shit out of this game and its all good

[cloud wasp]

however, i see there are logicmod file. i uninstall him but he repop. i must place all lods in this file or recreate the ~mods files ?

[wide spindle]

Man, I dont know why, but I really fucking hate the reload annimations for some of the weapon systems]

AR416 Scif flicks the mag without even pressing the magazine release catch

but the pistol he takes his time to reload properly and carefully

fucking what? GTFO

I cant stand it. THe old soldier in me is screaming in frustration

The whole emphisis is that The Zone is scarce on resources, even though this game feels like a well stocked Wal-Mart at christmas, and this guy is just thrwoing mags away like their sweet wrappers

I really want to like this game, play it and enjoy it, but sometimes it seems like it just wants me to hate it, stick it on the shelf and wait a few more years before modding the shit out of it to play it xD

[icy basin]

Do not show this user the original trilogy's left handed AKs

[warped monolith]

... or 99% of the original trilogy's gun models and animations

[icy basin]

Or the fact that the zone FORCEFED YOU EQUIPMENT

[molten osprey]

holy fuck i never realized

[kindred violet]

Not even just the AKs

Look at the mp5

[warped monolith]

I love the sound of the pistol slide being pulled
while the animation shows a completely different thing

[icy basin]

Desert Eagle sights but 🤨

[warped monolith]

oh this video doesn't show the animation of the weapon being pulled out of the holster

[icy basin]

So honestly

STALKER 2 is a huge upgrade animation-wise

Even though I could go with hiding the viewmodels

[golden hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/stalker2-nonstop-gif-7385508345518191769

I'm pretty sure at least half of my time spent in game was in the energy drink animation

[icy basin]

Sounds like a real stalker game to me

[golden hazel]

Skeefa's blood was completely replaced with nonstop and medkit juice by the end of the game

[warped monolith]

I was kinda hoping to see the more gun nutty animations like the guy not discarding mags when they're not empty

but it's no deal breaker for me

[icy basin]

If the trilogy is anything to go by, animators will show up just fine for the SDK drop

[warped monolith]

[paper hare]

i just want 1.4 to not be a crash fest

while trying to us OXA

[wide spindle]

left handed AKs never bothered me, but at least the mags never ejected themselves for the sake of John Wicking it and making the game more arcadey#

[hollow mica]

why cant i talk in the other chat channels

[dapper jay]

between mods and 1.4 is S2 shaping up to be something playable and enjoyable yet?

[gentle parcel]

I was enjoying the game with modular hard mode mod pack.
Though it’ll be a couple weeks before it’s updated for 1.4.

[dapper jay]

im retrying vanilla, have not played since the day it released, dedided to come back later after it had some time in the oven

so far its nice that bloodsuckers dont take 3 clips from a AK anymore to die.

[grand prawn]

Has anyone made a mod pack for Stalker 2 like gamma yet?

Gamma 2 wen

[golden hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/kek-kekw-gif-19460731

[true yew]

How much has the entity spawner (A-Life) improved in this new patch actually?

[odd fjord]

0

[remote eagle]

and amount of bullets he ate

[lapis hornet]

This. the modpack MHM makes the game playable, i hadn't played vanilla till the 1.4 update and god is it bad compared. bad in like its waaaaay to easy even on vet.

[sonic flower]

so we should let the game devs cook a bit longer on the A-Life stuff?

I havent played since release week. Been waiting till the game would be in a good state

[dapper jay]

So MHM is the way to go for now is what I am picking up. I'll wait on it's 1.4 release

[odd fjord]

yeah give it a little bit longer, i would say 1 to 2 years perhaps

[naive charm]

Hello dear stalkers.

I have a ryzen 5 3600 and rx 550 with 4gb of vram in my, how much fps can I get in stalker 2 on 1440p max settings

[tidal bloom]

1-3 fps per minute (if the game doesn't crash)

[proud ruin]

https://tenor.com/view/how-do-we-tell-him-mr-krabs-spongebob-meme-spongebob-meme-gif-24063814

[naive charm]

But its a gaming pc

@proud ruin its a gamint pc tho

Gaming

[stoic lichen]

Yeah Unreal Engine 5 does this funny thing where it just makes the game run like ass, regardless if you got a good gaming computer.

[proud ruin]

I have a 5600x + 6800xt + 32g ram and it still ran like ass at 1080p

[plush hatch]

left handed everything

[plush hatch]

on the og games you also found an absurd amount of ammo and loot, if anything its less on stalker 2

[midnight ridge]

It was a gaming pc 5 years ago

[naive charm]

The pc costed me $300 ☹

[tacit glacier]

Let's start with the fact the game requires a RX 580 minimum on AMD side

That's.. Almost 300% performance difference

[naive charm]

Why it costs $300 if it cant even run stalker 2 ?

@tacit glacier @midnight ridge I NEED ANSWERS 😦

[tacit glacier]

Because it needs to cost $2500 to run stalker 2

And even then with a 9700x and a 4080 Super the game kind of struggled.

[naive charm]

@tacit glacier $2500 for a GAMING PC ?

my dad would disown me

If i asked for a $2500 pc

[tacit glacier]

Same.
The trick to getting a $2500 is having a job

Then nobody cares what you do with the money.
They care but they can't really do anything about it.

[golden hazel]

[grizzled patrol]

i remember when the initial stalker 2 recommended specs got released and it was a 1080ti... i was so happy

[summer tiger]

Hi guys, my game crashes all the time after death when I click on the "load last save" button, what should I do? Playing on the xbox gamepass version.

[drowsy umbra]

play on the steam version

[hollow frigate]

1.4 fucked up my entire save file

hooray

[molten osprey]

Reloading another save

Restarting the console, while closing the game completely. Quick Resume fucks things up

Except that, nothin

[white berry]

thats what i did

[gloomy plover]

is the numpad hardcoding fixed in latest update ?)

[hollow frigate]

if stalker 2 is actually the fourth stalker, what is the fifth one gonna be called?

[icy basin]

The original trilogy is the first stalker :)

[summer vapor]

CS and COP are standalone DLCs

[wary nimbus]

Speaking of modpacks. I'm playing on Zivaka's modpack. Not well known but holy shit, its amazing. You can cook, craft, barter and do other stuff. Also it's nicely polished

And it got 1.4 update the same day

[odd fjord]

hes ua no?

[wary nimbus]

I think yes

But modpack is also available in EN

[odd fjord]

how can u even find the modpack?

[wary nimbus]

Sure https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Gr2a3d7tzt5AAG6EM6zthTmdNRe_lsKhAFL6Ez8rVvA/edit?tab=t.0

[odd fjord]

is the zivaka that is here the same one?

how can i contact the author?

yeah its him

[random crown]

Did they confirm GAMMA 2 ? Any news ?

[wary nimbus]

No, and propably wont be anytime soon. Check for other modpacks like MHM, Zivaka's, Infinity etc.

[wary nimbus]

This one have some mechanics simmilar to these in GAMMA

[random crown]

Looks pretty crazy

[wary nimbus]

That's basicly all which you can expect from modpacks in S2, more to come after SDK drops.

[midnight ridge]

Ok, so zivaka is the best modpack for now?

[true yew]

Oh my god, unofficial GAMMA 2

[wary nimbus]

In my opinion yes, but everyone should decide. MHM is also outstanding

[midnight ridge]

So, you would choose zivaka's over these two?

I consider putting freeplay mod and make quasi anomaly experience

[stoic lichen]

Is this on Nexus Mods?

[drowsy loom]

Do poltergeists still dont aggro if you only slow walk in their vicinity?

[alpine robin]

Still?

Damn

[alpine robin]

No they literally see you

Do they still just spawn shit around you?

[jovial berry]

Not as much anymore

[alpine robin]

I mean do they still use that instead of spawning shit in your region like how it is in the other stalker games?

Spawning events and mutants and stalkers in ur vicinity instead of them just being there

[jovial berry]

Yeah not yet

Still just a spawn directory

[alpine robin]

[round walrus]

its serviceable for what it is, but its still not the same. Better than it was at launch

[alpine robin]

That’s my biggest gripe with stalker 2

[round walrus]

render distance is still a bit too close

Actually since im here, is there a mod that changes the keybinds for your quickbar? Like changing it to F1-F4, rather than the "Hold the key" shit they have in 2

since theres no option in game to change that

[alpine robin]

How fucked Is the preformance rn? Why not set it to like 4km out, since they removed area transitions that should cover mkst of what you would expect to be able to notice

[round walrus]

IIRC from the mods that did just that not far out from launch, it caused some hitching because lol unreal engine. there was a sweet spot though where it wouldnt hit performance all that bad

cant remember the name of the mod tho

[wanton arch]

There is, it’s on nexus. https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/1215

And as far as performance, ultra plus fixed a lot of the issues with the game for me, so I’d recommend that.

[quiet fable]

Sounds like stalker 2 has all the issues that come with modern game dev without any real benefit (Idc about graphics)

Maybe it'll be worth playing in a couple years, when modders have fixed it.

[jovial berry]

Well got on that asap when we get the SDK

[round walrus]

Unreal Engine was a mistake

[proud ruin]

You will consoom the unreal slop

[round walrus]

[odd fjord]

free labor lets go

https://tenor.com/view/chernobyl-anatoly-dyatlov-serie-table-tap-gif-14535740

[quiet fable]

OUR labour comrade

[uneven heron]

So what wad the advantages of using UE5? Just the overall streamlining and documentation factor? I can see that justifying it some.

I'm just curious what the pros and cons board looked like when they were doing their engine analysis

[jovial berry]

Most used Gamedev tool with low barrier of entry, so you can hire quickly and cheap. Pretty much reason no1

specially if youre a new studio like modern GSC and need to hire talent from scratch

[quiet fable]

It's the false idea that if everyone uses the same engine then they can fire and and hire devs easier, and it's cheaper then making your own engine. But obviously UE5 can't work for every game type and is just going to make every game look the same.

This had nothing to do with it being a creative decision

[uneven heron]

Hmmmm

I wonder what alternative engines would have been better for Stalker. All I know are Godot and Unity.

[proud ginkgo]

The graphics pipeline in UE5 are the main benefit nowadays. Really easy to make photoreal graphics in engine, especially with Lumen and Nanite.

Unreal is also built around FPS games at its core. You can also modify the core engine code directly and make your own custom version of the engine which they might've wanted to do or not.

Unity would've been my pick for Stalker. Much easier to work with imo.

[brave comet]

the obvious answer is creation 2

[ornate lintel]

where we talk about new stalker enhance editions?

new stalker enhance editions are still xray luckily

[warped monolith]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-say-bleh-gif-26378492

[ornate lintel]

mine would be a re-write of xray engine

fuck all this unreal engine/unity slop

mmmmmm i want LUMEN in all my games ruining my FPS, mmmm i want auto LODs still containing 99% of the polygons

fuck off. just use a proprietary engine like we've basically always had.

[warped monolith]

that would arguably be even worse. Unless you mean a re-write of XRay using all the modern fixes and optimizations the engine currently has in stuff like anomaly and gamma and gunslinger and so on.
the original xray engine was held together with duct tape, spit and broken dreams

if I had a say on anything, I'd take full advantage of the fact that Microsoft now owns Bethesda and just start using idtech for everything. The only problem is it's not an easy engine to learn

and it doesn't even need to be the latest idtech. Give the kids idtech 4 or 5 to play with.

[ornate lintel]

Exactly as you said. Either license X-ray-16/openxray code or don’t be idiot and start basically from scratch and make it “X-ray engine v2” or whatever

[warped monolith]

remember back in the early 2000s when all of the really good FPS games were using the Quake 3 engine

with only two exceptions... battlefield and unreal tournament

[ornate lintel]

Don’t assume everyone has 6090 in computer. Assume everyone has sidrovic asus laptop

[ornate lintel]

BF was already frostbite or gamebryo?

[warped monolith]

as far as I know, it was always on their own in-house engine. Dunno the name, but frostbite engine was only from bf3 onwards I believe

[ornate lintel]

O
M
G

You’re right it was refractor

I remember that because it was all just like war games. And then racing game lol

[naive charm]

Im downloading stalker 2 rn

Hopefully its playeble, i got an rx 550

[tacit glacier]

STALKER on IdTech could be good.

[jovial berry]

good luck

[tacit glacier]

I decided to pull up YouTube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhB6W1E6oag

I can count the blurred pixels

Like, dear god, if you just bought stalker 2 refund it and wait until you buy a new PC

20FPS with frame gen is not playable

[jovial berry]

jesus

[tacit glacier]

I wonder if it would work at 640x480

[golden hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-crank-dat-gif-19328104

[wooden glade]

It's technically playable on 4 GB of VRAM...long as you're not having the game overspill VRAM

tried this on my laptop (also with 4 GB) and it does kinda work 50% of the time, but the other 50% is a crapshoot due to VRAM overfill.

and this is with a shit ton of optimization mods on top of base game.

thank God I have a desktop PC to play properly...

[tacit glacier]

technically playable does not equal actually playable tho
This game looks like modern art at 720p, especially if you consider it's upscaled from 422x238

This means native 640x480 would run worse
And dear lord if you try applying upscaling to that..

211x158

[wooden glade]

true that.

[summer vapor]

you can try to disable lumen with a mod

[proud ruin]

Bros got that 2000s cctv quality image

[graceful imp]

So like... Is the enhanced edition of stalker legends of the zone gonna have mod support comparable to PC?

Like mods on console at least.

[tacit glacier]

Mods going on workshop will have same limitations as regular mod.io mods for consoles but nothing is stopping people from making more expansive mods outside of workshop and mod.io

[graceful imp]

💔

[tacit glacier]

Also this is stalker 2 chat. Enhanced Edition topics go to #╟🔰☢newbies-chat and #╓☢stalker-chat

[graceful imp]

I'll ask more there then, I apologize.

[icy basin]

We need more emoticons in patch notes

[odd fjord]

next one:
patch 1.4.2 kawai is now ready to be downloaded stalker-san 👉 👈 UwU

[icy basin]

But unironically

[wary nimbus]

This mod makes the game playable but the graphical cost is very big. Question is if its valuable to play on it in long term. Good graphics and atmosphere is the one of the few things that the game brings and without that.... I would really prefer to play OG games or GAMMA insted until better PC https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/1386

Im using it on my weak laptop with gtx 1060 as a spare but my main rig is WAAAY better and I can immerse into the game

Anyone know of a mod to lower your weapon? Not holster it?

[north estuary]

wait for the mod creator tools to be released if you want bigger mods

[hollow frigate]

stalker 2
homeless ukrainian veteran addicted to energy drinks kills everyone he comes across, gains control of zone via coup

[north estuary]

ngl he could have been more connected to the zone than having his home blown up

what if he got idk, infected by the artefact or whatever

he feels WAAAY too invested for someone who just got a house fire

like when he rages about the experiement that dalin did that caused the random anomalies globaly

[hollow frigate]

the guy originally was just tryna find his rock back and getting his rock back got him involved in a lot of other shit

faust is a genius he restarted the monolith by giving back a ukrainian vets rock back so he could give it to some naive scientist

[north estuary]

I'm waiting for the game to be finished to get the other endings, but I have no idea what is even going on, I got the Scar ending thinking the twist was gonna be that it is not the bad ending, it was infact not a double twist, but what even happaned

he saw dead people then chilled with himself in a dream world

[hollow frigate]

skif went delusional and gained schizophrenia

basically the shining zone was fake and it was actually just a delusion

[north estuary]

so what did they actually do? spread the zone to the whole world?

[hollow frigate]

also i saw living stalkers in the generators?

[north estuary]

XD

[hollow frigate]

scar just made everyone completely insane and start seeing things

he turned everyone into zombies

[north estuary]

who would have thought that the terrorist agent guy was evil

[hollow frigate]

no i actually did there was just some fuckin guy wandering around

[north estuary]

S2

[hollow frigate]

he wasnt evil his brain was just fried

[north estuary]

he was tho, he was a terrorist

[hollow frigate]

vietcong

[north estuary]

he is the reason skif got his home blown up

[hollow frigate]

no it wasnt

[north estuary]

yeah, they attacked that experiment

[hollow frigate]

oh yeah

[north estuary]

and made it go bad

that was the twist with dalin, also who tf is dalin's dad, is he real

[hollow frigate]

he was in the pods

[north estuary]

I know, but is he real

[hollow frigate]

idk???

korshunov said he saw them boiling in the pods

so does that mean strelok was just crazy and killed a bunch of already dead people

[north estuary]

could have meant bubling

Them redconing clear sky to be evil is the worst ever

[hollow frigate]

korshunov was nice but i couldnt betray my homie strider

[north estuary]

How tf are they both serving the C con and having to kill an army of monolith? XD

[hollow frigate]

lebedev was already evil im pretty sure

[north estuary]

No he wasn't, he was connected to the whole thing but was supposed to be the otherside of the coin, a good scientist

least I got that from the old games

Like I said, if he went after strelok on the orders of C con, why did he have to fight monolith? Why did he not know about the monolith faction etc

[hollow frigate]

i think he was evil and manipulated scar into stopping strelok from getting to the ccon people

[hollow frigate]

because monolith dont care who theyre fighting theyll shoot if the person isnt a monolithian

[north estuary]

But no, Stalker 2 fully confirms, that they are constantly ordered things

They hear the voice on what to do

surely they would join forces with CS to stop strelok

or least not try to stop them so hard from doing the same goal

[hollow frigate]

i think since only lebedev was a member of the scientists

it would make sense that monolith attacks cs

since cs are outsiders (other than lebedev) and im pretty sure most of them are mercs anyway

[north estuary]

Okay but why not attack them after they stoped Strelok, betray lebedev

that would make so much more sense if they really want Lebedev to be a liar

[hollow frigate]

they didnt stop strelok all of them got fucked after the emission

[north estuary]

I 100% think they did not intend Lebedev to be evil

originaly, he was lying, and knew more than he led on, but it was clear to me he didn't know even half of the real things

[north estuary]

they did stop him, they shot his helmet off so he could get emissioned

[hollow frigate]

also what even was the deal with kalancha

he survives after cs

then goes fucking crazy planting the psi-beacons in s2

[north estuary]

I mean, all his friends died

clear sky as a faction seemed very chill and caring so i get that

[hollow frigate]

i dont think it was cuz of his friends

cuz the psi beacon recordings become more deranged as you go south

i think he went batshit crazy from the psi beacons

[north estuary]

I think that's just showing how he goes worse and worse

and probably has to do with psi fields too

also, why are all the labs not in game, like bruh, they better add them in a dlc

I wanna see the brain

[hollow frigate]

would kinda be useless

no reason to go down there

unless your turning the thing back on

[north estuary]

The brainlab was one of the most important labs, in general, so surely it could be included in the story in someway

[hollow frigate]

as far as i can tell unless faust went down there for some shenanigans theres no reason for skif or anyone else to go down there anymore

cant wait to 360 noscope skif in the pod in stalker 5

[north estuary]

who the hell is yurik on SOC? The Duty guy you save?

[hollow frigate]

he was being robbed by bandits in the entrance to garbage

[north estuary]

stalker 2 still managed to be better than atomfall

[north estuary]

oooh yeah

near imposible to save him on veteran or mods, they just insta kill the poor guy

[sharp plover]

Is it okay with Stalker 2 to remove a mod mid-game like S.T.F.U? Or is removing mods mid-save not a great idea? Does it depend on the complexity of the mod?

[wary nimbus]

It depends on the mod you are planning to delete. Mods which add new items will 100% corrupt your save after deletion

Other minor mods propably would be okay, backup you mod folder, delete what you want and see

[sharp plover]

I figured smaller mods that don't touch much play by those rules. Just wanted to be sure. I'm new to Stalker 2, and just learning how things work.

[wary nimbus]

Understable. Mods which dont touch the players inventory and equpiment should be okay to delete

If you are using OXA or LNA will also brick your saves if you delete them (If you use them ofc)

[sharp plover]

Yeah, the overhaul modpack I invested myself in uses OXA and LNA. This was just a question more directed towards Shut Those Factions Up.

[wary nimbus]

STFU should be good to delete, it tweaks some minor configs

[sharp plover]

Alright, cool. I appreciate it. I think I went a little overboard with the mods for my first experience, but I am having a blast so far. Can't complain.

[wary nimbus]

I'm modding S2 since release and tried few modpacks so I know what you are talking about 👍🏻 Modding in S2 is quite easy beacuse of using PAK's

Don't forget to merge mods if they share the same files

[sharp plover]

Yeah, I ended up with around 88 files once finished. I just followed an in depth guide a community member had posted on the overhaul's comment section. Even running 1.4.1, everything seems to be working awesome.

[wary nimbus]

And dont use old and unupdated mods since they change older configs and can interfere with the vanilla configs after updates

If you want some AiO modpack I can recommend MHM or Zivaka's modpack (posted it yesterday on this channel). Both are great and I had blast with them

But ofc they need a new game

[sharp plover]

Yeah, currently rocking MHM. With all the recommended mods, and the additional extras the community member suggested. I started a new game, since I never played. This is my first time playing Stalker 2. Straight into the Hardcore file.

It took me 3 hours to finish the tutorial because the human NPCs were 1 tapping me in a dark field from a quarter mile away. That was a fun experience. All the food is 600K, and I am broke. Slowly starving to death. Having a great time.

[wary nimbus]

If you want new mechanics like cooking, crafting or barter and maybe A BIT easier experience i really recommend Zivakas Modpack

[sharp plover]

I appreciate the heads up. I can look into it later for sure. So far, after the tutorial the game is much easier since I can run away from conflict and pick and choose my battles. In the tutorial I didn't have that luxury. The tutorial was god awful.

[stoic lichen]

Can you send me a link to it? I can’t seem to find it on Nexus mods.

[wary nimbus]

Its not on Nexus. Here you go https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Gr2a3d7tzt5AAG6EM6zthTmdNRe_lsKhAFL6Ez8rVvA/edit?tab=t.0

[ornate lintel]

nice blur GSC 💀

the original games actually look better

[tacit glacier]

The og's are sharper but I will admit that the lighting, render distances and screen space reflections are good.

Also the enhanced edition has one thing that Anomaly will never have
its apparently no longer single core

[ornate lintel]

NO FUCKING WAY

[tacit glacier]

YEAH
I can't believe it either

[ornate lintel]

i guess. but honestly Starter Pack 2019 looks better

OG

[icy basin]

Oh that's funny

Anomaly devs, watch out

[ornate lintel]

holy shit. 11 threads are being used

idk why thread 2 is basically like "idle :)"

also when are we getting rid of these oil barrel ass guns man

yup. all threads are being used

shadowplay thinks it's clear sky for some reason lol

[golden hazel]

Don't jinx it

[ornate lintel]

[golden hazel]

Wait they removed the cheeki breeki in the "Enhanced" editions too?

[ornate lintel]

yes

all of the russian VA is gone

[golden hazel]

So then they did remove the bandits saying cheeki breeki after patch 1.0.0 on HoC tuah then

I wasn't just having a Scar moment

SKEEFA IT'S TRUE, THE GSC TOOK OUR CHEEKI BREEKI SKEEFA THEY WORK FOR THE WARD SKEEEEEFAAAAA

[tacit glacier]

wheeze

[tacit glacier]

I'm not jinxing anything you see the truth right above.
Enhanced Edition is multicore.
The Performance is here.

[ornate lintel]

the best way to play SHoC

[tacit glacier]

You hear that Anomaly devs?

GSC did what you couldn't do. They put Multithreading in the game

[golden hazel]

[tacit glacier]

I'm in no way trying to insult anyone but I find it funny that the Legends of the Zone Trilogy actually is multithreaded.

Wonder how long it'll take for demonized exe's to get that

[golden hazel]

Until the engine decides that you are unworthy of the multiple cores and humbles you with 1

Because at the end of the day it's still XRay

[tacit glacier]

I wonder what it is called internally

[golden hazel]

YRay

[ornate lintel]

poopen farten engine

[tacit glacier]

Watch it be called "X-Ray Engine 2.0" internally

[golden hazel]

It could just be the "scrapped" version from the og HoC Tuah

[tacit glacier]

I find it sad they didn't use the opportunity to port weapon animations from later games to ShoC tho

Like, they had every opportunity to unify all games graphically.

[golden hazel]

Like Metro?

[tacit glacier]

Basically, yeah

[ornate lintel]

"X-Ray Engine 1.7.0+22-3878619"
no meme

Oh wow, xrEngine.exe and its not in a bin folder

huh. are you on a more updated version than me? 1030 is higher than 22

[tacit glacier]

1.7.0+1030-3878893
wtf kind of version is that

[ornate lintel]

steam vs goodoldgames diff? idk

[tacit glacier]

I have it on GoG yeah

[golden hazel]

[tacit glacier]

Lemme pull up the steam version.
I have family sharing

Because sharing is caring ||my mom wanted to play oblivion remastered ||

Funnily enough I got stalker soc and cop from dad's account
Gotta love having parents that are into gaming.

[ornate lintel]

what's up with this "Chornobyl" vs "Chernobyl" bs as well?

[golden hazel]

Ukraine's spelling or something

[tacit glacier]

Oh wow. Steam version has different numbers, yeah

[ornate lintel]

man. everyone in the west just says chernobyl. chornobyl looks like a typo 💀

[golden hazel]

That will affect the trout population

[ornate lintel]

probably calls upon steam APIs im guessing

[tacit glacier]

Chernobyl is Russian spelling
Chornobyl is Ukrainian spelling

I mean steam versions have Workshop
GoG version has mod.io 💀

[ornate lintel]

NOOOO

[golden hazel]

[tacit glacier]

It has all the mods that already came out for base console versions

But they aren't downloading

wtf are those crows doin

[ornate lintel]

i was correct. steam version just calls upon steam_api64

which should mean it's extremely easy to get an "offline" version

[tacit glacier]

I mean tbf
All you really need is a gog installer

[ornate lintel]

lol already done

[tacit glacier]

lol

[ornate lintel]

it does fuck with the intro now though

[golden hazel]

[tacit glacier]

mod.io
Let me download the mod
LET ME DOWNLOAD THE MOD

[ornate lintel]

the new game intro is even worse

[tacit glacier]

wtf

Anyway.
This is stalker 2 chat
This is extremely offtopic and we'll likely already going to get yelled at

[ornate lintel]

where else do we talk about it? it's not like S2 has any players anyway

[golden hazel]

[tacit glacier]

[ornate lintel]

off-topic clearly states no stalker

[tacit glacier]

This channel description says "only stalker 2"

[ornate lintel]

this is stalker 3, that works too right?

[golden hazel]

More like stalker 5 tbh, 6 if you count the mobile game

[ornate lintel]

THE WHAT

[golden hazel]

[ornate lintel]

how big even is stalker 2?

[golden hazel]

Like storage wise? 154gb if I remember correctly

[ornate lintel]

also you're willing to tell me. GSC updated the entire fucking xray engine for this enhanced trilogy, yet refused to make S2 in xray?

[golden hazel]

[slender sleet]

i want to download some mods for satlker 2 cuz this game look basic for me also repair is very expensive also cant find ammo. and fighting mutants is waste of everything. they die hard and dont give nothing. can i fix those problems with mods and any suggestions ?

[ornate lintel]

updated xray to the point of porting it to DX12 btw

[golden hazel]

Their contract with microsoft probably had something like "THE GAME MUST BE PRETTTTY IN SCRRENSHOT USE UE5 "

[ornate lintel]

yes, it's called buying the original trilogy

[ornate lintel]

fucking unreal engine slop man. we waited like 16 years and all we got was SLOP

[golden hazel]

99% slop 1% peak (Scar)

[ornate lintel]

remnants of battleye found lol

[golden hazel]

[ornate lintel]

some dev left his computer name in there too lmao

as confirmed by a russian forum guy posting his config file too

[tacit glacier]

Eh
No matter how hard I try I can't make the game render at 4k to 2k

[ornate lintel]

not even vid_mode 2560x1440?

[tacit glacier]

Quite literally impossible to force it to go above my monitor res

[ornate lintel]

oh right

ye that sounds about right. enable DSRs if you've got an nvidia card or virtual super resolution on AyyMD

[tacit glacier]

I tried DSR
The game forces me to go back to native res

[ornate lintel]

lolz

[tacit glacier]

I pick 3840x2160, click accept
Game: I'll pretend I didn't see that

Meanwhile I try this in Indiana Jones and realize "Oh fuck my PC can 4k"

[ornate lintel]

i had to completely reinstall my game 2 times now

lol

[tacit glacier]

I just
Completely uninstalled it
The blur makes me feel like I'm looking through glasses.

It makes my eyes physically hurt

[ornate lintel]

it feels like someone was in the unreal editor and didnt know what they were doing lmao

shit feels like gaussian blur

[tacit glacier]

wtf someone speedran the entire achievements list

[ornate lintel]

just a SAM user

thank you STALKER

[golden hazel]

[tacit glacier]

Have you looked back into the settings?

Did it stick as 2560x1440 or go back to 1920x1080?

[ornate lintel]

back to 1080p

[tacit glacier]

SEE
The game does not like DSR

[ornate lintel]

[ornate lintel]

set my desktop res to the DSR res

[tacit glacier]

... Genius

brb, redownloading the game

It like, takes me 1.5 minutes to download it whole anyway

[ornate lintel]

not worth

still blurry as fuck.

[tacit glacier]

I wouldn't say so

[ornate lintel]

the amount of blur in this foliage

[tacit glacier]

... OH WAIT GOD RAYS ARE ACTUALLY IN SHADOW OF CHERNOBYL

[peak eagle]

Doesn't look much better than original?

[tacit glacier]

Just extremely subtle. Like ludicrously subtle.

[peak eagle]

but then again I haven't played SoC in quite a while

[tacit glacier]

There.
Godrays

[ornate lintel]

original at 1080

[golden hazel]

Classic.

[tacit glacier]

Something I noticed.
They changed weapon positions on screen.

[ornate lintel]

is it not just FOV difference?

[peak eagle]

weapon positions a bit lower?

[solid ibex]

no no no, they removed ALL the russian voice lines

only english shit dub

[golden hazel]

It was very much in 1.0.0 with the ukrainian dub though

[ornate lintel]

i dont know if ukraine dub exist let me check

[golden hazel]

I literally played the game on launch

It 100% had the line in version 1.0.0

is this ukrainia

Yes

fair ok so we at least get some eastern europe

anu cheeki breeki iv damke

[golden hazel]

Oh you're talking about Stalker 3

I was talking about HoC Tuah

[tacit glacier]

Anyway 4K DLDSR (Deep Learning Dynamic Super Resolution) looked the way the game should have looked like
Though the game crapped itself when I went further north in Cordon and said "No more 60+ FPS"

[golden hazel]

[ornate lintel]

let me launch the ncuckia app

[tacit glacier]

Funnily enough putting FSR at quality with DLDSR produces better image quality than Native FSR on native 1440p

[ornate lintel]

ok no stalker modifying for me

[tacit glacier]

Somehow manages to hit 120fps too

Your first mistake was using the NVIDIA App

[golden hazel]

[ornate lintel]

[tacit glacier]

Control Panel all the way

[ornate lintel]

im still used to AMD having it all in adrenalin

[tacit glacier]

Trying to replace the FSR dll with the latest version. (Current one is two versions below)

Still blurry af

Funnily enough based on the dlls you can see the game uses FSR 3

Yet FG is broken
And DLSS isn't present

[ornate lintel]

Amazing

GSC are idiots

[tacit glacier]

But the main issue at hand is that it feels like the game renders at 1080p instead of native 1440p

... What do you think the game runs at 1080p natively because of some forgotten console code?

[ornate lintel]

fucking

[tacit glacier]

Like on Xbox it can switch between 1080p and 1440p

[ornate lintel]

480p expected render res xbox 360

[tacit glacier]

But on PC you cant select the higher internal res

[ornate lintel]

Idek if they’re using internal res

Next to FSR

[wanton arch]

where is multiplayer?

[hot grove]

gone

[cedar pond]

Hey guys , question to ones did both spark and ward , which one was more entertaining?

[obtuse maple]

depends... if you like lore go Spark if you like Donald Trump go Ward.

[cedar pond]

You made so ez ty

[obtuse maple]

haha... honestly they are both good. I finished spark but I'm only about a 3rd of the way through with ward.

[cedar pond]

Some people say it more easier , how do you feel ?

I almost done with spark , but I think this shinning is going to lead to something bad , feels like Scar got mad after CS , thinking to do Strelok ending

With Ward I don’t see point of Duty no more feels weird

[lapis hornet]

Anyone's shaders taking like 5mins to compile? Or just me?

[obtuse maple]

I think the advantage with Ward is base locatioon.

Yea I don't really understand whats going on with Duty atm I bet they get more involved in further expansions.

[cedar pond]

Oh yeah Malacite , for sure , otherwise walking simulator

[frozen sundial]

i think the (subjectively given games current state) annoying part is that there is some good narrative benefit by doing a run with ward and one with anyone else (since its mostly spark till late game)

[warped monolith]

[cedar pond]

Oh yeah , as Ukrainian I can tell ward is just Azov Battalion, and being “patriot” will reward you type )

I hope that DLC provide some quests with mercs

[frozen sundial]

yeah tbh i wouldn't mind them being more present, i get lore wise the ward cracked down on them (or something to that effect - loading screen tip) but clearly they are still doing things

[cedar fossil]

Holy shit, this just came across my feed and damn is it good. Never heard of this guy before but one of the best summary's of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchise out there.

[lament magnet]

As a free title. I don't mind it.

[wary nimbus]

If you dont mine that dev is a russian, thats the real upcoming ShoC remake https://youtube.com/shorts/9s7rODS449A?si=bjLgxUzTH1KnTrdJ

Guy basicly rebuild the whole game

[icy basin]

Don't see why it'd be a problem that the dev is Russian

[wary nimbus]

For some it does (especially for GSC)

[icy basin]

They're a Ukrainian company, not individuals

[wary nimbus]

Yeah but there is a trend in the community to neglect everything what comes from russian modders

Understable if they have anti ukrainian and pro war relation but when a project is totally not affiliated with politics so whats the problem?

Guy is doing hell of a job

This guy did seasons interchangable in game menu https://youtube.com/shorts/D4u8zIVp_9s?si=XgPQq0t8F7k9JAf5

[tacit glacier]

Now this is nextgen

[wary nimbus]

And this guy works alone, with a help of few others. No big studio behind his back like GSC. But seriously who thought that GSC would do something more than porting Legends Of The Zone to PC?

[frozen sundial]

looks pretty neat, have you messed around with it?

[jovial berry]

That looks really good

[wary nimbus]

Its not out yet

Old 1.4 version is out but this full 2.0 overhaul still in works

[frozen sundial]

fair enough

[wary nimbus]

1.4 is more like radiophobia

[wanton arch]

The fight after the wish granter is so dumb. A bunch of the pillars in there are cardboard

Retry number 20 lmao

[prime shell]

hint: ||go hide at the entrance to where you go into talk with dalin and the colonel before it, just sit there crouched until it is over, may have to kill a couple of dudes||

[wanton arch]

I was trying to fight them off but they literally manifested from atoms in front of the doors. I was so taken aback by that

[prime shell]

well they are phantoms =D but yeah, some might spawn on top of you and need to kill them, but generally if you don't move/fight back, no others will find you, aside from the odd one

[wanton arch]

I'm not so sure it has to do with them being phantoms lol

[prime shell]

well no, just poor spawn design, but they still are figments of your imagination

tis an awful encounter though, was very happy when i discovered that just trying to find a place you couldn't get shot at from 360 degrees

[stoic lichen]

As long as this guy hasn’t done or said anything deplorable online, he’s fine in my books.

That gun customization looks amazing.

[terse gazelle]

no, hes russian and reddit said all of them are evil

[brazen yarrow]

Not touched Stalker 2 since release and just wondered if the latency/performance is still as bad as it was?

[stoic lichen]

Eh, it’s slightly better.

[warped monolith]

Lotta people claim it's a bit improved, but I noticed very little. They can't make miracles with the awful UE5 systems they're using (mostly Lumen's fault)

[jovial berry]

Latency can improve a lot if you tweak enough things, but for base S2, not much

[brazen yarrow]

Any reccomendations mods wise? When i first played i was on a 3060 and with the Anti stutter/performance mod the latency was fine and not even noticeable but i have a 4070 super now and the latency is horrendous, Sorry for the long post, i appreciate the advice 👍

[jovial berry]

You might be having some issues then. Id try doing NVIDIA override to make sure you use the latest version of DLSS4. I dont really use any performance tweaks
i used to use this one and had the better luck with it: https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/60?tab=description

I just use Ultra+ and set my graphics to a bit lower than id do vanilla.
https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/484

Ultra+ i feel like its just the best, given that you have to run the game on high and not ultra.

Ofc use DLSS at quality/balanced, with framegen on

also check out my own mods :3

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/164

https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/felicheat

[tacit glacier]

I replayed the intro bit of stalker 2 with your weapon reposition mod.
Switched between few variants, but was honestly just testing performance in 1.4.1 (with ultra plus mod)
The stuttering and input lag made me uninstall the game ngl

[jovial berry]

idk i honestly have REALLY good performance on S2 now

80+ consistently with high/ultra, ultra+ High preset etc

[nocturne smelt]

I think a lot of people sleep on their Shader caches and it affect their performance.

[jovial berry]

yes

[jovial berry]

make sure to delete them shaders

[brazen yarrow]

This was happening on a fresh install of the game

[nocturne smelt]

Anytime the Game updates, You change graphics settings, Update your drivers or Use something like Ultra + to change settings you need to delete all of your shader caches and let the game recompile.

[nocturne smelt]

Reinstalling the game doesn't delete old shaders though. As they are stored outside the game directory.

[jovial berry]

This is tied to your Nvidia folders. Someone else can point you we're exactly to find them

I gtg for now

[brazen yarrow]

If i didn't love the Stalker series so much i would never touch this game again, its absolute madness that we have to piss about like this in order to even play the game somewhat reliably.

[nocturne smelt]

Steam/Steamapps/shadercache.

The other one is called DXcache and is a bit more complicated if you want it done right.

[nocturne smelt]

It's honestly an issue with any pre shader compilation, Stalker 2 is just so unoptimized that it's more noticeable.

That's for DXcache.

It's a pain

[jovial berry]

you can just manually delete the files wihtout restarting

[nocturne smelt]

Sometimes it doesnt wipe out everything that way though.

Doing the method above is the only way I've figured out to wipe out everything.

You'll delete it and it's like temp files stored in the pipeline get written there after. The only way to stop it is to disable the shader cache through Nvidia control panel which does require a restart.

[jovial berry]

Dang I'll try that next time

[cedar pond]

Does anyone knows if they fixed … how would I name it … mmm feature ?! Where is enemies spawn and spawn and its never ends ? Ty

[pearl shadow]

It's definitely better than it was

[wanton arch]

Definitely not fixed though. I was watching a group of stalkers walk in front of me, and as I got closer a chimera spawned and rearranged their anus.

[warped monolith]

such is life in the zone

[brave jungle]

hows stalker 2 now with new update?

[midnight ridge]

Weak

[warped willow]

Didnt finish the game but im putting it down for good. Needs another 3 years of updates and mods

[tacit glacier]

Steam players get mods
GoG players get skins

Though this could imply, for STALKER 2's sake, that restrictions will apply only on console versions of the game

cough As long as you didn't buy the game on GoG cough

HoC tuah, mod on that thing

[midnight bane]

It does feels so refreshing every once in a while

My favourite gif on this server

By the way, as I stated before many times, GSC should learn from Bohemia's approach to modding and to its community in Arma Reforger. Transparent development and tremendous support of mods from the very beginning https://youtu.be/B-Ri-Pm3aHM?si=P1-nZEhScfaQ5pub

Cannot wait for Stalker 2 mods in Arma

[stoic lichen]

Eh, It’s slightly better. But I’d still suggest Modular Hard Mode if you want a challenge and Shay’s A-Life for a bit more QoL.

[hushed ingot]

is there a decent mod pack out yet?

[stoic lichen]

There’s Modular Hard Mode.

my 2nd playthrough i went and snaffled gg stuff before really doing anything else, got bored within a few hours, next one limited myself to areas the story takes you, much more enjoyable

and then MHM makes it a lot more enjoyable with randomising

am i the only one that thinks that the sensitivity on console stalker 2 is UNBEARABLY slow?? i have my stuff at 100% and it still takes 2-3 business days to do a 360

Is there an updated mod that removes the knockdown effect of Bloodsuckers?

If you check the official Discord you would know not only that you're not, but also that it's a bug they're looking into and hoping to have fixed by 1.4.2

ohh- (im not in the official server)

[pearl shadow]

It's a good place, they're fairly active there and you can even ask gsc directly and get a response, some have already asked about a fix for that issue for an example
