[finite needle]

On the positive, 7.62x39 is very expensive and you can sell it

but yeah something to fix for 1.6, which I hope can focus more on gameplay rather than FOOKIN alife

[pseudo falcon]

my loot run atm
i havent done a single ending yet
coz when game updates or some mods fcked up my save so i have to start again

same as my gamma, i have 9999 carryweight

btw for those who hasnt have it yet
https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/1452

[kindred violet]

I urge you to drop all of your items at your feet just for shits n gigs

[pseudo falcon]

sure
but ill save first

bruhhh
it lagged my game

holy shit

[pseudo falcon]

@kindred violet are you happy now

so many cheese

[kindred violet]

Yes very

[pseudo falcon]

man it was a bad idea
i only dropped my food and healing items
the ammo arent even dropped and my fcking game is lagging with all the item spawned

[kindred violet]

I know haha, it fuckin crushes performance

[pseudo falcon]

anyway
i guess since i have surplus items
i can sell some of them for coupons

[kindred violet]

I'm curious what happens if you throw a grenade into the pile

[pseudo falcon]

btw what vendor is best to sell them? food for bartender and ammo for weapon traders?

[kindred violet]

Honestly no clue if it makes a difference

[pseudo falcon]

guess one way to find out

[kindred violet]

I think relation changes sell value

[pseudo falcon]

this is my route i took whenever i restart
i just roam after leaving the starting area (forgot to included cordon to get the spas12)

i try to get all journalist stash i can get and some unique weapons along the way before i do the main quest

also some stashes too that i know

[hallow plume]

Guys, when I am installing mods through mod.io or steam I don't see mod in Stalker2\Content\Paks~mods folder
What may be the reason?

I have plenty of mods that are installed manually and they work

[prime stratus]

Mine don't show up in the mod folder either from workshop but they definitely work. Workshop handles mods differently I guess. It should show a mod loading bar when you start your game like the shader cache bar does.

[pseudo falcon]

maybe try finding them on steam folder

[hallow plume]

yeah, I saw that download, but "no auto lean" mod was not working
only if I download it manually
strange

[prime stratus]

Odd. It works for me fine.

Like CodeFluff said, check there.

[pastel crag]

every stash in the game

[pseudo falcon]

so this is why other guys use scarcity mods

[pastel crag]

this is why the game is boring

[pseudo falcon]

since the game has so much loot scattered around?

[pastel crag]

because the loot is boring

Also the game has more loot than every normal place in the world

Do you live in India? are you hungry and starving? just visit the Zone

[pseudo falcon]

lol

[pastel crag]

There's probably more food in the game than in my village where I live.

[pseudo falcon]

limansk in stalker 2 isnt accessible lel

[kindred violet]

Rumor has it it's DLC

[pseudo falcon]

by this time you know where this is

[molten osprey]

daily xp message

[pseudo falcon]

damn
first time getting weird bolt
it was so easy, its just parkour lel

i only ever gotten the weird ball, weird water multiple times coz i was restarting coz of game update or mods fcked up lol

[pseudo falcon]

not good
hoarding too much the inventory bugged

[kindred violet]

Lmao

Bro has the whole zone on his backpack

[pseudo falcon]

bruh

wtf
762x39 still exists
but pkm doesnt have an upgrade for it

[deep nexus]

is stalker 2 worth playing again?

[rose frigate]

Anyone know if OXA prototype mod reduces the amount of loot spawned in the world. Trying to decide between that and Stalker Unlimited or Infinity

[woeful stag]

yes. internet has so many haters but as someone who played original 3 trilogys its good

[signal lintel]

I came back and I’m having fun. I only played 10 hrs when it came out. I have a really good PC and it runs a lot better now but still some performance problems to be aware of. I think the main story is fully playable, but I still encounter small bugs multiple times every day.

[odd plume]

Came back after playing at launch, never finished the story but continued with the 1.5 patch and I have like 100% more fun than last time playing it

[pseudo falcon]

it adds items, i think it somehow also reduces some loot static in the world
also you loot rusted weapons, so you have to fix them
go here to ask for more info
https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1322530320494628945

even heals and food you can loot spoiled or expired lol

[vivid sky]

is stalker 2 worh it after its recent update

[warped monolith]

apparently yes

[outer depot]

it's been a lot more satisfying to play post 1.5 I can say that at least

wish the mutant parts spawn rate was a little bit higher for more dangerous enemies though

[prime stratus]

Agreed. I think it should be about 50 % chance to loot mutant parts. Mods fix that though.

[river lintel]

I am become death

Destroyer of frames

[marble snow]

Playing with Infinity and Shay's Living Zone, found a guy that got attacked by fleshes and dogs, saved him and picked him back up and he saved me from a random psidog not even a minute later

Found him playing guitar by himself a little while later, wish I could recruit him

[tacit glacier]

My two day phase has passed.
Back to waiting for more patches, DLC and perhaps an improvement to mods that will let people make them in a way that doesn't require eventual merging (which will be ludicrously dumb on workshop)

[pseudo falcon]

currently getting all jounalist stashes
im done in pripyat, even gotted some unique guns there even the gauss rifle
gonna go back to

[kindred violet]

bro really snuck into pripyat

[finite needle]

Watch me actually manage to complete a Ward run

(before the unavoidable betrayal)

[pseudo falcon]

this is my current progress
im gonna backtrack to chemical plant to go to duga for that unique m700 and journalist stash there
then gonna do a bit of a main quest
mainly after getting out of lesser zone
iirc detention center to go to Star, and meet Scar briefly and do garbage

i just roamed after zalissiya lol

but i forgot to include cordon for the early spas 12

[finite needle]

There is a spas in cordon? I thought the Sledgehammer was the early spas, since you can now rush the arena missions

[pseudo falcon]

yeah
they moved it from the bandit base in cordon to the farm

you just need to shoot the lock first to activate a generator to open a cage door

[finite needle]

Oooh yeah I know that one, so it's there now? Nice.

[pseudo falcon]

early version of the game, it was here

[finite needle]

Ngl I just go do the Arena, do the worst encounters ever concocted by a human mind and just use the sledgehammer unti I feel like walking to truck cemetary for the early Saiga

[pseudo falcon]

i roam the map after getting out of zalissiya
to get all the best weapon and armor so main quest is breeze

i always overprepare lol

atm im using the unique saiga12 shotgun and kharod caliber converted to 545 from 556 since i have lots
with apb sidearm

[finite needle]

Yeah same, I'm actually forcing myself to not get too OP, last time I played the game I had the Malachite heavy Spark armor, a Saiga and a Dnipro while fist meeting Scar

[pseudo falcon]

also i have the diamond exoskeleton
altho the artifacts are a bit weak

the diamond exo here got moved from the roof to inside the lab
so you cant get it anymore early
unless you use noclip (console mod)

[finite needle]

I never got it early. If it's not intended, then I'm not picking it up.

[pseudo falcon]

my exoskeleton are static looted
also fully upgraded(coz of a mod, no need BPs)

my recently journalist stash

i sold some duplicate guns for coupon lol

anyway ill continue later
its 2am here lol
need to sleep

time to finish this fcking 1st run
at least manage to clear 1 ending coz there are 4 iirc

[woeful stag]

do emissions always reset artifacts in anomolies or is it a % chance?

[pseudo falcon]

dunno why
after emssions i tried to go to the anomaly zones ive looted artifact before but they dont have any artifact spawn so maybe its by chance to spawn

so you have to roam the whole map to farm artifacts lel

but there are some places that are a bit hard to farm

[woeful stag]

propably a % chance like CoP then. I did re-check all of them after 3 emissions and like 10 days and they were all there

[pseudo falcon]

if you want artifact routes for each places
try this
https://www.reddit.com/r/stalker/comments/1h4jzjb/updatedconsolidated_artifacthunting_routes/

[finite needle]

Man skif gonna get superpowers if he keeps eating using that knife

btw is Varan glitched if you go in by the backdoor or you're forced to kill all the bandits if you go WARDA?

anyway the 1911 is by far the best handgun in the game

[woeful stag]

hits like it should lol

[finite needle]

https://tenor.com/view/joshua-graham-graham-falout-new-vegas-gif-7537526939504676935

It really do be feel like that

So I love how the new factions are just plain old fascists (cops), or eco fascists (SKEEFA)

mall cop and crypto bros aren't much better tbh

[woeful stag]

uhm has anyone else had theri gp37 lose upgrades? Checked my stash and it lost the picittany rail

[finite needle]

Nope, I never used a gp37 in Stalker 2, even for the memes

I could try tho

[finite needle]

btw GSC got nothing in regard of weirdiness on FFXIV devs. Turns out, my horrible stutter was because I ran the game with an xbox joypad plugged in. Had to reboot the whole ass PC to fix it. GSC take notes.

[warped monolith]

weird indeed, that never happened to me and I always have an xbox controller plugged into my pc

[finite needle]

seems it only happens with more modern hardware, I've been doing savage since Stormblood with the same PC and never had any issue even with controller plugged in. I had problems with the steering wheel suddenlty take over, however, but nothing that would fuck up stutter.

Ay a life works even on new saves. This spot was usually spawning mercs, now it has Freedom telling jokes.

[kindred violet]

Are you playing with mods?

[raven current]

yes but never had trouble

This really just happend

[kindred violet]

Workshop mods?

[raven current]

Those

[kindred violet]

Pretty much all of those are severely out of date

[raven current]

ah okej so i have to delete them and install again or?

[kindred violet]

You will want mods compatible with 1.5

[raven current]

so i can just delete them from the map?

[kindred violet]

Yes, you can just delete them and download up to date ones.
Do note that some of these won't have a direct update for 1.5 so you will have to look for alternatives

[raven current]

got it

thx

[kindred violet]

Good luck

[finite needle]

Run away from Monolith
Find Mercs, try to avoid them
Run into IPSF

10/10 OG stalker momento, I'm glad a life is finally back so I can get shoot by 3 different factions while running away (average Spark experience)

Also fucking mercs started to loot the IPSF so we had a struggle anyway

jokes aside, but the fact that the mercs reacted to something and I had to take it into account makes the whole situation better. I'm pretty sure before 1.4 mercs would have just despawned

[kindred violet]

It's quite nice, i got jumped by bandits when I was hauling ass out of the sphere

[finite needle]

Let's put it that way, if I hear a dog, pig or gunshots in the distance now has completely different meaning. It's not much, but I'm like "ok shit's going down, better avoid it and stay away" instead of "ah they're looking for me welp time to fight"

btw a life and mutant parts are apparently working fine with savegames from 1.3. I'm almost surprised, usually loading an old save breaks all kind of stuff.

[warped monolith]

usually old saves don't even work... so yeah that is impressive

(I'm still starting a new run)

[pseudo falcon]

too bad it only has 7 rounds and i dont know where is the extended mag is kek

[nova galleon]

How the hell am i supposed to defeat faust with normal guns am i just supposed to shoot that fucking psi lantern?

Battle pissed me off so much i decided to just blast him with a rpg

[warped monolith]

yes

[nova galleon]

And ive been wasting rhino rounds on his head the whole time

[golden hazel]

[outer depot]

Actual skill issue

[pseudo falcon]

oh well i found a unique khora

[warped monolith]

koraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
mataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[pseudo falcon]

kek
even with extended mag
khora is 13 rounds
while usp has that default rounds

the unique khora is here

[pseudo falcon]

kek
the unique version of khora has a bug when you have a detector out
you cant reload lol

but regular khora is fine

[warped monolith]

and the damage difference? or other relevant stats

[pseudo falcon]

my usp is fully upgraded mind you

[pseudo falcon]

in terms of damage khora is better than usp
while apb has higher RoF and accuracy

i guess
usp is balanced version
while apb is for RoF but khora is for firepower among pistols
tho the Rihno is different since revolver

[warped monolith]

wait... isn't the khora supposed to be the M1911? It says 9x19mm caliber
or is that exclusive to the unique version

also uh am I correct in assuming you're using a mod that restores the weapons' real names?

[pseudo falcon]

night stalker is the unique khora, chambered in 9x19

also i havent fully upgraded it coz im still roaming
currently in duga

gonna go back to chemical plant afterwards to continue the main quest

[warped monolith]

interesting that it still has respectable damage for 9x19

[sweet mica]

been playing my second playthrough, 15 hours in, I did Project Y ending first and now I'm doing Ward. Next is Spark and then Strelok's ending. I really really like the gameplay loop that S2 has, it's really fun, I can't wait for improvments to come with mods, I will play the crap out of this the way I played COP mods. S2 Misery will be sick

[pseudo falcon]

i wont even expect coz you might be disappointed if it didnt happen

also im having a problem
im doing a sound of music quest in duga, but the 2nd floor school key isnt there
im trying to find sold kostas (npc which has the key) but he isnt spawning

[pseudo falcon]

welp
since the npc i was hunting doesnt spawn
ill just use console commands
for those who also wants it
school key in duga

[winter halo]

any mods out there dealign with weapon sway that work?

[pseudo falcon]

lol

[warped monolith]

bread armor strikes again?

[pseudo falcon]

no
its mutant parts

im using this
https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/1452

[split crown]

https://tenor.com/view/nicolas-cage-smoking-cigarette-lord-of-war-taking-a-drag-gif-20367466

[pseudo falcon]

my current artifact stash

[pseudo falcon]

guys what do you do to the new mutant parts?
auto sell?

[winter halo]

that or turn in to malachite

[pseudo falcon]

does turning them in malachite differs?

i mean the task is repeatable and doesnt have cooldown?

coz by default
radiant task have 24hr cooldown

btw my m700
hunter (jounalist stash)
cavalier
and regular m700

[split crown]

Yeah, why wouldn't you?

[split crown]

which is really lame and should definitely be altered in some manner.

[pseudo falcon]

i have a mod that can make it faster like 5 sec cooldown but its outdated

[split crown]

yeah, I saw that one, but I never tried it because I was wary of how unstable it might have been.

[pseudo falcon]

yeah thats why i removed it

[pseudo falcon]

have you been to malachite? what mutant part should i save for task there?

[split crown]

I haven't.

if you get more coupons for rarer parts, then I'd just save those ones for the task.

[pseudo falcon]

if i sell them here in slag heap

[split crown]

brother
you don't need to worry about coupons

[pseudo falcon]

why

[split crown]

LMAO. So yeah, if the Malachite task just awards you coupons, then don't worry about it, I'd say.

but if they offer you actual items, then maybe consider it. I don't know what they offer for parts though.

[pseudo falcon]

i have a mod that makes the task reward x20

i tried the one on yaniv station
he asked for devil mushroom
i had two
so i tried one
it gave me 600k coupons lol

[split crown]

I don't even know what a devil mushroom is, but holy shit that's a lot

[pseudo falcon]

the mod in question
https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/644?tab=files

it has a x20 reward option

[split crown]

That seems like so much lmao

[pseudo falcon]

for now i guess ill stop this quest in garbage and go straight to malachite to see what mutant parts she wants

[pseudo falcon]

is this normal?
im on malachite

they have pkm lmao

[split crown]

Idk man, I told you I've never even been to Malachite

[pseudo falcon]

@split crown btw this are the mutant parts they want

[split crown]

I see

[pseudo falcon]

damn
on my nxt playthrough, i guess i can add malachite on the places i roam before continuing the main quest in garbage after i got out of zalissiya

kek
the mod didnt affect the new rewards

guess since outdated

if i sell them
its cheap
so its best to hoard them to sell them on malachite

task gives 6500
if i sell them its 1720
big difference

so this is radar
man stalker 2 map is confusing coz i got used to stalker gamma

[split crown]

Haha. Yeah, I don't like how they changed the map up in Stalker 2 compared to the OG games.

[pseudo falcon]

also they shouldve made an option to disable mutant loot animation
its annoying

i like the mutant loot mod before

[split crown]

eh, I kinda like the looting animation. Sure it's a little time-consuming, but that doesn't bother me too much.

[pseudo falcon]

far cry animal skinning anims lol

[kindred violet]

personally I prefer the new layout it's a bit more cohesive, although rather confusing when thinking about the brain scorcher and such

[split crown]

it's actually pretty much the mutant looting animation that someone made for Anomaly.

[split crown]

I'm just used to how regions were from the old games haha. So it's kind of a dose of whiplash to see that regions like the Garbage aren't directly north of the Cordon anymore...

[kindred violet]

yeah very fair haha

[pseudo falcon]

brain scorcher and miracle machine got neglected

[kindred violet]

I'd have loved to explore them yeah

[pseudo falcon]

altho i guess if they included them
they need to design the underground parts of the lab

right now hopefully
they need to fix more issues
dunno when modders will add new weapons and attachments lel

since GSC released a tutorial on how to make weapons with the SDK kit

[finite needle]

Malachite is a government funded station, so you have the army there protecing them. Now, as opposite to GAMMA, you can have enemy factions protecting a friendly base without them shooting you on sight, what a marvel.

Sorry, I mean the totally not ukrainian army IPSF

[pseudo falcon]

confusing new factions introduced
IPSF and ward

i guess IPSF is just renamed military faction?

[kindred violet]

I wouldn't necessarily confusing, they make sense in the new context

[finite needle]

Not really, IPSF is just the army renamed because, you know, it might not be convenient to have a hostile UA army right now, for a UA developer. Ward is just a PMC.

[kindred violet]

Ipsf an international army in s2

Tasked with protecting the boundary of the zone

[finite needle]

Just like the bad guys in the mid 2000s were all North Koreans because you couldn't call China the bad guy anymore so you went welp both asian both commies close enough

[finite needle]

Sure, I know the lore and what they are, just clarifying the situation that lead to that choice compared to the original trilogy.

[split crown]

IPSF is a new faction that took over the Ukrainian military's job, basically, of containing the zone and its horrors because "big wigs" on the mainland shook hands on the matter.

Ward is SIRCAA's hired private security force, so basically a PMC yeah, and I guess you could consider IPSF a PMC of sorts? I'm not sure if they're actually officially the military or not.

[kindred violet]

IPSF is basically the UN forces because they do jack shit (this is a joke)

[finite needle]

More like peacekeeping org, like for example the UN peacekeeping forces. Same effectiveness too.

[kindred violet]

lmao same braincell

[finite needle]

well it's just the truth

[pseudo falcon]

so UNISG is not canon? only in gamma? cut content?

[kindred violet]

UNISG has always been cut content

[pseudo falcon]

same as sin?

[split crown]

[split crown]

a wiki page I looked at the other night had mentioned as part of Ward's "trivia" that they were actually hinted at basically being like UNISG lol.

[finite needle]

UNISG as it is now it's an Anomaly propietary faction. It was meant to be an international scientific organization, in short Ecos but from West Berlin. In Anomaly they are like super sayian ultra tacticool PMC because that's what the Stalker fandom is right now.

They were cut in Clear Sky, but allegedly the 3 scientist you see Scar escorting in the Clear Sky intro were supposed to be UNISG.

[split crown]

Oh interesting, I didn't know that about Clear Sky.

[kindred violet]

yep

[finite needle]

SIN was just beta Monolith

They replaced the mutant control with the rock, and made them take showers.

[split crown]

lmao

although it would still be neat to see a canon faction appear that's basically full of insane people who are trying to be one with both the zone and its mutants - while ofc also having control over said mutants.

[finite needle]

Spark is right there my guy

[kindred violet]

I mean that's just c-con

[split crown]

*and also to see them become mortal enemies with the Monolith because they realize the Wish Granter is BULLSHIT

[finite needle]

People will complain about Stalker 2 trampling the lore but then accept SIN and Monolith being allied

[split crown]

I still haven't beaten Stalker 2, but man I also still can't take Spark seriously.

[split crown]

Yeah nah, I'd wanna see SIN and Monolith fucking HATING each other.

[finite needle]

Well if you spoke with scar at least once, you probably cleared the whole being one with the zone and being insane parts

[split crown]

sure but that doesn't include mutant taming

regardless, Scar is nothing but a meme in my eyes now

[finite needle]

If you stretch the definition enough, the part where the zombies ignore him it's kinda close

[split crown]

I did think of that, but zombies are basically mindless so eh

[kindred violet]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1306683555488862319/1351304623406714971/SKEEFA.gif

[split crown]

might have something to do with how many times Scar's brain has been fried by emissions

at least in terms of why zombies ignore him.

[kindred violet]

oh you'll see once you finish the game

[finite needle]

I prefer the Spark path, they are pretty much stalkers? Clear Sky 2?

[split crown]

lmao. I'm only recalling all the times in Clear Sky he's taken emissions straight to the face

[kindred violet]

in terms of cohesive narrative I actually quite like the ward path

[split crown]

I'd opt for the Spark path more-so if GSC didn't make the consequences of siding with them so lame

[split crown]

ayup

[finite needle]

I just want the old freedom back, I prefer even duty to the crypto bros

[split crown]

it's hilarious how S2 freedom is just a buncha sellout wannabes

god yeah I really do wish GSC had done so much more with both Duty & Freedom. They both feel so lifeless in S2.

at least give Skeefa the opportunity to liven both factions up somehow or another.

[finite needle]

I think there was a cut faction that was meant to be old Freedom, called Fire or something like that. Just like the Zulu faction, they are nowhere to be seen. At least Zulu gets mentioned all the time.

[kindred violet]

apparently supposed to be DLC?

[finite needle]

God I hope so because Duty and Freedom are even more useless than in CoP.

[split crown]

Oh really? Huh. I didn't know about a cut faction like that. Also, interesting to note that Zulu squad or whatever is never actually seen in-game...

[finite needle]

Scientists got more content ffs

[split crown]

Truth

I'm curious as to what kinda dlc GSC has cooking.

[finite needle]

They finally reached a point where the game is actually well set imho. Right now, they sabilized the floor - let's hope they can build something interesting upon it. I suspect post SIRCAA being so devoid of secondary quests was because there was meant to be more stuff to do with the faction war.

[finite needle]

Spark does more war crimes, so they're better

[kindred violet]

[finite needle]

Man I can't wait for people to find out abou the Zulu and Freedom cut factions and make them into PMCs

[split crown]

I'm all for literally any additional content GSC shoves into S2 at this point.

[finite needle]

That's the thing - up until SIRCAA you have a lot of side activities to do. It's after that that you just get to do main quests and a couple more extra. I still can't believe Freedom only has 2 quests, and one is the Arena.

The ones Eco have are ok I think, pretty leghty and in character with the faction. Freedom has you pick up some boys in red forest and arena. Duty has clear base of bandits and defend base. That's it, fucking Warlock by himself has more quests to give you.

[odd plume]

I wish there was a way to join factions and actually be someone outside of loner

[nimble mango]

This mf is USING binoculars, and we still can't have them in game

[finite needle]

Well you either join Ward or Spark, Skif will present himself as such at some point in game.

[kindred violet]

technically yeah, but it doesn't really feel like it yknow

[odd plume]

Yeah, but thats all main story related, id loved to have more options. Feels like all the other factions are kinda not important in the zone anymore.

[finite needle]

The situation is kinda coherent to what you see in the zone - Ward being everywhere and effectively controlling the Zone up until a certain point. Spark is very stalkery, they don't have a base and just roam from place to place. Both factions will be kinda hostile to you most of the time because in the end, as it is pointed out, you are just a loner doing work for them, but I guess Skif at some point will claim to be either working with Spark or Ward.

Of course you can always change your mind later, which is the thing that makes the most sense - I just think that either path ties better with the 2 extra endings.

[pseudo falcon]

ITS TIME TO DAKKA

kek
i dont have problem with coupons and ammo
so i can waste them

[finite needle]

Man I love the sledgehammer

Accidental youtuber clickbait screenshot

[kindred violet]

lmao

[pseudo falcon]

using a knife is annoying
so im using this to open boxes

i have ammo to spare
also changed the difficulty to veteran coz i am super geared anyway
money aint a problem

[finite needle]

Gimme them toes

[pseudo falcon]

i think some mods are broken

[finite needle]

I think there is something wrong with emissions and a life, I took shelter in the Duty base and half the people is fucking dead now

[pseudo falcon]

man i like the kora
but i guess since its a m1911 looking gun
only 7 rounds while extended has 12

wtf
.45 only has 11 (10+1)

while the night stalker (unique kora) has 13 (12+1)

but i dont want to use night stalker coz it cant reload while the detector is out kek

[odd plume]

Of all the shortcomings this game still has, I really gotta give them props for the map building and atmosphere. The underground sections are just as tense and hectic as in the previous games. Chefs kiss for that one

[pseudo falcon]

which one
i havent gone underground except factory in garbage coz that lab looks like its the lab in dark valley in stalker gamma

[remote eagle]

door stuck

[odd plume]

Is the Ram 2 shotgun worth going for?

[pseudo falcon]

if you can
saiga12 is much better
rather its the best

[odd plume]

Havent seen one yet, and the Ram seems super hard to upgrade, gotta get all those blueprints...

[pseudo falcon]

the only problem with shotguns are they are tubefed so the reload is slow
unless you have the m870 with the magazine upgrade

[kindred violet]

mag fed shotguns my beloved

[pseudo falcon]

the m870 mag upgrade is here btw
in chemical plant

[odd plume]

Yeah, Ive got a unique one of those that I used for a long tiime, but then switched to assault rifle / Sniper combo...

[pseudo falcon]

since i have so much pistol ammo
i use them for mutants
rain them with lead lol

but i dont like how 9x18 only has kiparis as smg

only 30 rounder
unlike mp5 has 50 round drum mag attachment

[odd plume]

Doesnt really kill them fast enough imo, its brutal on veteran honestly. Only time I had to turn down the difficulty was a certain fight in the game, cause it was just instant death every damn time

[pseudo falcon]

im using OXA mod thats why the magazines are correct mag size

[pseudo falcon]

by the end game?

[odd plume]

Idk hwo far im into the game now, but im also using a mod that rebalances the caliber of weapons and damage

[pseudo falcon]

btw if you guys are wondering what happened to dnipro
they changed it to 762x54

[odd plume]

Maybe thats why they arent super strong haha

[kindred violet]

that's silly lol

[pseudo falcon]

yeah
I wanted the dnipro to be 762x39 FFS

meanwhile i changed kharod to 545 since it has more available ammo

im just wasting ammo at this point
since i roamed the whole map and got most of the journalist stash
gone to pripyat and uga early game
atm im doing garbage main quest now
try to do lots until i get bored and get back to gamma( redo my loner run, rags to riches) no items and money start lol

i already sold 545 and .45 but i still have more
kek
already 2mil coupons

i guess this is enuf
ill will loot again anyway
so more money lol

[kindred violet]

god damn

[pseudo falcon]

my current shotgun
from journalist stash (this was from pripyat)

hehe

[odd plume]

Maybe you shouldnt spoil that stuff in case other people go through this chat

[pseudo falcon]

sorry lol

i roamed alot

[kindred violet]

Btw did you noclip into pripyat?

[finite needle]

Ok those dogs died into an anomaly offline. Kinda cool ngl.

Wish I could loot them but it is what it is. Definitely isn't pre placed assets, considering how glitched one of the bodies is.

[remote eagle]

[pseudo falcon]

btw guys
did u ever kill shah and the other dude? when dealing with varan(i always kill varan, hate his ugly mug)

[remote eagle]

yeah

full on bandit genocide

[pseudo falcon]

oh yeah
forgot, all of them are arseholes
so full genocide mode

[indigo hemlock]

so the game is technically alife

just need a mod that lets me see like 500m instead of 90m

that was the only thing that kinda ruined the game for me, finally getting a scoped weapon then watching the ai disappear before my eyes

[finite needle]

Kinda weird, but in my ward run something possibly bugged out because I entered backdoor and I was forced to kill Varan on the first meeting, skipping the brood/commisar quests.

[finite needle]

500m the only anomay you'll see is your PC catching fire I'm afraid.

[pseudo falcon]

the online bubble is only around 100 so sniping like from gamma is still not possible

so snipers suck lol

[finite needle]

you can snipe up to 100m But seriously, I think 200m is going to be the number. Maybe 150?

[indigo hemlock]

as long as there is options, ill set my computer on fire for 500, could also implement some agressive LOD stuff if at all possible

[pseudo falcon]

i just recently did the task from varan to kill shah (guns blazing) and roosevelt (killed him silently)

silent kill is doable but after a few kills npc know where you are
kek

[finite needle]

It's better than release, when enemies had oblivion guard senses and istantly pinged you from wherever they were as soon as you killed someone/someone spotted you.

[odd plume]

Why the hell does every person get an Exo Suit after a certain story progression. Just kinda dumb

[pseudo falcon]

yeah its better now
but still needs more polish

[finite needle]

But in all seriousness, stealth/sniping never really worked in the trilogy, most of the combat was cqc or midrange at best, and stealth has never worked. I know people wants it now, but it was never something that defined the original games

[finite needle]

Same tbh. While I understand Monolith and other endgame factions being all exos, seeing people in Cordon with full exos is a bit dumb

They should have mitigated it a bit, but not as much as needed apparently.

[odd plume]

Also, is Duty hostile after joining spark? I keep running into them but they always shoot me. In their base I have green reputation tho

[odd plume]

It might be fine on lower difficulties, but id rather run from most combat if it involves a full squad or two of people in Exos

[finite needle]

That's strange, Duty doesn't care if you join Spark.

[odd plume]

It was also just one duty guy that spawned with a bunch of ward people

[finite needle]

Bold words, on the GAMMA server - where hunting exos is literally your midgame

[odd plume]

Its okay in Gamma because enemies dont just appear behind you

[indigo hemlock]

this fr, i dont like how it feels like everything is planned and handed to you

[finite needle]

UNISG would beg to differ

Appearing behind you was literally their gimmick at some point

do yall even play GAMMA?

[odd plume]

Never had any issue with enemies spawning right behind me in Gamma or any stalker overhaul honestly haha

[finite needle]

I think it has been removed at some point in GAMMA, but UNISG had the sayian power of teleporting behind you. Somehow, some people thought it was a great gameplay mechanic - to have people in full exo and battle rifles to teleport behind you.

But the spawning on your back thing has not happened to me since current patch. If they spawn behind me, it's not to attack me at least - this was happening in like 1.1 or 1.2.

My biggest gripe with the game materialized in one picture:

[kindred violet]

distance or the compass?

[finite needle]

Distance

[kindred violet]

it's so much more refreshing playing without most hud elements

[finite needle]

even Elden Ring has a compass, I accept it as baseline at this point

[kindred violet]

and yeah, it's a pain how far things are apart

[finite needle]

Oh man I hope I don't get caught in the crossfire between a hostile Duty squad (they are apparently hostile to Spark now?) a Ward squad and 6 snorks halfway through my 2.2 km trek that would force me to go back to Malachite to restock and repair

oh lawd

[warped monolith]

because elden ring suffers from the same problem

[finite needle]

I find that the horse and teleport at will function help a lot

Literally the first time I've ever seen Spark in the wild.

Maybe second - the only other time I've seen a Spark squad was after a certain mission, and they were hostile.

[odd plume]

Do we already know if this thing in Rostok is supposed to be future content? Seems very detailed to just not have any vendor or anything. I guess they wanted to have actual hunting quests?

[split crown]

Woulda been nice lol

[odd plume]

I found a one armed duty guy that only uses his pistol with his other arm??

[split crown]

I think it's a vanilla glitch lol

because yea I've seen some NPCs in my game with only 1 arm too.

[pseudo falcon]

do you guys use mods to reduce the repair cost?

and also stamina usage?
coz im so used to gamma i want less stamina usage lel
its ridiculous that i run out so fast

[true yew]

I think the mutant skinning update fucked up the collar quests

[finite needle]

How so, can't loot collars now? That quest is Zalissya lite in terms of being fucked up, I swear.

[true yew]

Yeah

Does my ass have to get to malachite before doing this?

[finite needle]

I don't think so, I have been looting collars well before I got the quest about the collars - maybe it has been changed? But I doubt it, if you can kill the collared enemies.

Ayo guys I invented binoculars!

anyway next week they gonna release some fixes to the Chernbyl space program, door stuck and I suppose collars too. Maybe give the 7.62x39 pupose again?

[true yew]

Retried again, the prompt wasn't popping up. I think the quest is actually fucked up. Time to submit a ticket ig

[finite needle]

Unlucky, could test with my ward file, get to the cat and see if it drops for me, but I doubt it. Sounds fishy enough to me

[true yew]

If you want the specifics, I was doing Nightingale's dogfight (first quest from him)

[finite needle]

I have literally never done them

Probably better off with the ticket, might check it out later though

[molten osprey]

Daily message

[odd plume]

Was waiting out the night in a room of a building that is not accessible to NPCs due to having to jump and climb... Dude just turned up next to me after opening and closing my map. Glad he wasnt hostile

[nova lake]

make sure that you dont have mods that overwrite the player stats, if these are outdated, they can and will turn off the ability to loot mutants
if you are using a save from 1.4 or below, you need to go to malachite and trigger the ability

[true yew]

Fuck, you might be right. I have a mod that balances artifact stats.

[finite needle]

Me using my eyes to spot enemies from afar despite the 100m bubble:

There is no escuse to not have binoculars now, GSC.

[proud ruin]

Energy drinks just filling up stamina and not giving a buff sucks ass

[fast valley]

it does give a buff, you can see the stamina bar not draining as much after using them

they definitely should make status icons for when these boosts are applied though

[pseudo falcon]

yeah i noticed, even water altho weak in effect

@proud ruin@fast valleyim just waiting for this gamma like crafting system

altho the inventory UI also needs to be expanded like gamma

[fast valley]

crafting would be nice to sell the scavenger aesthetic, but would need a signficant rebalance of supply distribution to be worth

[pseudo falcon]

yeah

i guess why i fell in love with gamma coz you have to fix your own weapon unlike other games that just outright gives you

[fast valley]

It's definitely got a very intriguing linear / non-linear progression system

that's, one thing I liked about it. But truth be told i've not really fell in love with it yet

still trying to find the fun in it

[odd plume]

I really want a sleeping bag and being able to choose how long you sleep in the game🫠

[finite needle]

The only reason to sleep right now is to avoid fighting at night

[kindred violet]

It's very odd playing oxa and actually requiring sleep now

[odd plume]

Yeah, and because I have a longer day and night mod, it makes days very nice but nights very difficult lol so a sleeping bag would be great

[finite needle]

Gotta get me a sniper, turns out.

I've had one long range enagements too many, I gotta get me something with range

[finite needle]

seems duty is indeed hostile to you if you're spark, but only if ward is nearby.

AI also really struggles to get into cover during an emission, before they had no such problems.

[finite needle]

Might be that, I was able to do one of the collar quests that scherba gives you. Mind you, it gave me 3 collars, but it played the skinning animation.

[warped monolith]

wait I don't get this screenshot. These guys aren't 100m away

[warped monolith]

also no, I don't cheat

[finite needle]

I could snipe them if I so wished, this is the joke

[warped monolith]

[finite needle]

I'd rather have the bubble further so I could scout better with binoculars and the like, but sniping seems very possible to me.

[split crown]

I'm on the fence about grabbing a longer day & night mod; how is it treating your game? Everything still rather stable?

always thought it was kinda goofy how quick days & nights pass in S2.

[finite needle]

In 1.5 that is, since now enemies don't spawn exclusively to fight you and watching you

[split crown]

Also, yeah, I relapsed and started grabbing mods again for my vanilla playthrough lmfao

Just trying to grab light/small mods tho that shouldn't alter too many major things in my game so shit shouldn't necessarily break each time GSC decides to drop a patch.

[odd plume]

It does not cause any issue whatsoever

[finite needle]

idk some dude apparently broke the collar quest by installing something completely unrelated

[split crown]

Sweet, gonna grab a longer days mod then. Thanks man.

[split crown]

Yeah installing out-of-date mods can apparently just revert your entire Stalker game's files to previous patch builds. Somehow.

Slavic ingenuity at its finest I suppose.

[finite needle]

The same minds who introduced the piss mechanic while the AI was Unreal (1997) multiplayer bot

Fucking duty stole all the loot from the mercs I sniped, motherfuckers.

I take it back, sniping is NOT possible

[warped monolith]

man I would seriously love to give this another go but I'm still concerned about other issues

like lack of content and npcs being janky, mutants being tanky and so on

[split crown]

Surprisingly I'm okay with how mutants currently seem when dealing with 'em. (I say this until I meet up with a chimera )

So I'm not sure if GSC has altered their health and/or tankiness or not in the various patches.

byeah, everything else I'm in agreement with you. Always looking to better things.

[finite needle]

Those concerns are still very valid imho. Big mutants are still too tanky (smaller ones are ok, bloodsuckers stop being dangerous once you get the SPAS), NPCs are, well, Stalker NPCs and the content is pretty much the same, you got some random quests to gather mutant parts from Malachite but that's it.

[split crown]

Truly, I feel like the game would already become so much better if we could open dialogue with any NPC by default (not just squad leaders) and maybe have repeatable side quests through most of them if they have anything they want done. At least it'd be a lot more content imo.

Also lowering the 24 hour CD on repeatable quests lol. That's so ridiculous to me. In the OG Stalkers, fat toad Sid would have like 4-5 side quests you could scoop up all at once and do at your own leisure (given, some of them were timed iirc, but oh well)

Hey guys what’s better to buy stalker 2 on gog or steam

Soooo gog or steam

What’s easier to do mods with?

[lusty wing]

Can't tell you about gog but steam is good about modding, I would only buy on gog if I had a strong principle around drm

[ashen plank]

I found it easy to add mods on steam I dont think it maters too much

[split crown]

Already told you Steam

[ornate ibex]

I kind of do.

[ornate ibex]

I just hate drm 😭

[split crown]

[lusty wing]

Depends on the accessing the root file then. If you can do that on gog then it's probably fine

[ornate ibex]

Can you do it on steam as well?

[lusty wing]

Definitely

[ornate ibex]

But when you launch it will it launch steam?

[lusty wing]

I don't know about gog but probably not since it's a separate exe with no launcher

Stalker 2 that is, not gog

[ornate ibex]

What’s better?

[ornate ibex]

But that also means that you can just copy the game to a harddrive and put it on your other computer right?

[lusty wing]

Can't say, I only have experience with steam and my only input is that there is no modding issues on steam

[ornate ibex]

Do you use workshop

[lusty wing]

It's through nexusmods

[ornate ibex]

Gotcha

It’s stalker 2 worth it to buy? 😂

I didn't record but out of nowhere 20 burers spawned there

and they were straight up just chilling

wait maybe i have a save that i can use and i'll record what i said

[finite needle]

Looks like you can do the scherba mission even if you collect early collars, I looted the snork in Garbage after talking to him and I looted 3 collars out of it. Crude but it works I guess.

Personally, I would have used the mercs as a failsafe but what do I know, maybe you can meet the mercs early?

[finite needle]

Yeah the Laika anomaly, happens on headshot every so often. Is kinda fun at first but honestly it should be fixed.

[icy basin]

Oh I hope they keep that in

[thorn pasture]

Last time I played Stalker 2 was in 1.0 and honestly, 1.5 feels like such a massive improvement.

This game is getting the cyberpunk treatment for sure

[thorn pasture]

they won't but someone will make that a mod for sure

[finite needle]

2010 2025 close enough welcome back Skyrim's Giant Space Program

[thorn pasture]

So far the only bugs i've found have been the fun "anomaly" types, unlike 1.0

nothing game-breaking, just some whacky stuff that makes me remember of the og trilogy

[finite needle]

The Shevchenko doors not opening correctly is kinda bad tbh. Potentially game breaking. Rest is just weird stuff, like the Burer gang or the space program. There is the inability of AI to get into shelter during emissions that is a bit concerning - no one important will die but it's kinda jarring to see big settlements lose 1/3 of the total population because they don't know how to use doors.

[thorn pasture]

haven't gotten to Shevchenko yet so i can't speak on that but everything else in my eyes is just funny to see/partake in.

that emission bug happened to me in garbage and it wipped about 30 people

[golden hazel]

Makes sense theres a space program now, they had to expand beyond the earth's core

Me eating moldy bread I found somewhere in the red forest while infiltrating the least sketchy place in the zone

[finite needle]

They are still attempting do do that, but the feet will stick out now, in honor of Death Stranding 2 release.

Yeah the stealth option is kinda neat

[burnt pumice]

I was wondering: Will be Stalker 2 Anomaly GAMMA ??

[odd plume]

No

[finite needle]

ok the stealth mission is bugged, if you reload a save one of the dudes will start shooting at the injured monolith soldiers

welp time to speedrun

yeah it fails the no killing anyone part

So the best choice is either to do it in one go or just rush it like when stealth was impossible

Too bad because I feel like the Spark path is sort of suited to a stealth gameplay

[finite needle]

Actually reporting this because I feel like I'm the only person who will ever find out about it

[finite needle]

What do you mean? I've already played it

[modest crag]

Redownloaded stalker 2 yesterday to see if it was doing better
It's already way better optimisation wise considering the game runs in 2540x1440 full screen compared to launch time where I had to run it on 1440 windowed
However it refuses to let me change any graphics settings and always reverts to low whatever I do and there are still quite a few bugs (most notably stalkers with invisible bodies and stalkers starting a new homemade space program when I shoot them in the head)

For info I fully completed the game with all endings at launch on PC, still a pretty good story all things considered, but would have benefitted so much more from the "old" map layout of having each area be its own instance

[remote eagle]

they made new map more to look like real chernobyl

[modest crag]

And it's a fair choice, but development wise it would probably have been better performance and work wise to keep the areas "closed" from each other

[remote eagle]

tf u talking about

how getting closed areas from each other gonna be better?

its not shitengine from og trilogy

[modest crag]

Being an open world game puts a strain on graphics with the whole map being loaded "at once" and working on a new engine like this one with next gen stuff compared to the old engine is difficult
Sure loading screens can be annoying but it would've allowed them to properly work on each areas

If you don't agree that's perfectly fine I'm just giving my opinion on the matter

[remote eagle]

[finite needle]

It's the industry standard, would have been seen as subpar or lazy (I mean, every problem is blamed to laziness nowadays but I digress), plus it was their stated intention from the beginning to have an open world game. Stalker was already late in that trend back when SoC released, the stages thing felt like it came from Half Life or Doom, not a modern game even back in 2007

Having cells made thing easier, sure, but it was never the engineering goal, considering that CP2077 doesn't have a single load screen in the whole game and it came out 5 years earlier

or 2, depending or your point of view

[modest crag]

I'm probably strung up by nostalgia

[finite needle]

whoever came up with 2 psydogs encounter, please go fuck yourself.

Yeah I'm not going there

Bloody hell

Jesus 3 bloodsuckers in rookie village

[remote eagle]

[junior egret]

also i've noticed i haven't seen a single emission since the scripted zalissya one, i'm at slag heap now and done heaps of exploring and stash hunting

[finite needle]

I've seen plenty

They aren't super frequent, but I've definitely seen emissions in 1.5 - one of the most prominent bugs I've noticed is a life failing to reach cover if within the player bubble

[junior egret]

18 hours of playtime on this save and nothing so far, just got the mission to find noontide

[molten osprey]

S2 great

[proud ruin]

Farcry Ukraine goes hard fr

[finite needle]

I am old so I don't get the meme, basically is "anything where you loot stuff that I don't like" farcry? It was used to define CP2077 back when people hated the game and the two games had pretty much only that in common

But then again I've only played Farcry 2 and dropped it when it kept spawning cars full of people on me

[remote eagle]

[proud ruin]

[odd plume]

Can NPCs that are in combat with you not die from Emissions? lol I wouldnt let them into the safe spot and they just continued fighting my while the emission was going on outside

[kindred violet]

That would be a funny oversight

[odd plume]

I just had the exact same encounter in rookie village after taking a guide there

[finite needle]

I guess it's the insta travel dragon spawn in Skyrim thing. Truly the ukrainian Skyrim.

[remote eagle]

[remote eagle]

got gauss before pripyat

[finite needle]

Suspicious weight. I love that thing btw.

[remote eagle]

thats probably the only one gun i still didnt repaired and fully upgraded

[finite needle]

I have no idea how the underbarrel shotgun works, but it came in handy more times than I would like to admit to actually hate it.

[remote eagle]

[finite needle]

100% the game flagged Hamster as dead when I finished the Zalissya quest despite me saving him, now he's back?

Did they really fix Zalissya? After 8 months?

just hope this doesn't prompt them to also have me defend all the other minor hubs like cordon or slag heap

I'm 90% sure they just replaced bloodsucker spawns with dogs. And it works, really makes me feel in the zone again, having to fight 8 dogs every 2 minuts.

[remote eagle]

i did it in 1.4 and quest didnt bugged out

[finite needle]

Yeah last time I did it was in 1.3 and it was still janky

Random lightning hit that tree and legit jumpscared me

Yeah, this squad isn't goig to be a problem in a short while at all...

[remote eagle]

it can randomly hit u2

because it hitted me 1 time and almost killed me

[remote eagle]

[finite needle]

Found something

[warped monolith]

day walker, night stalker

[finite needle]

I knew it was in burnt forest, but didn't know where exactly. It was by pure luck

[warped monolith]

nice

I really gotta reinstall this game but I already have so much crap to play.

gonna scratch a game or two off the backlog before jumping back into LA ZONA

[remote eagle]

[finite needle]

It's nicer now, I'm having fun tbh. Much better than it was in 1.3 on a lot of regards. Still, second half is literally you just waking from quest A to quest B that is on the other side of the Zone, that isn't changing.

a life does help a bit, luckily is not too intrusive and the fact that now it doesn's spawn stuff just for you to see helps. 1.3 was already better than release for that, but it was either people running towards a fight agaisnt mutants or spawning to fight YOU and you alone. The fact that I can chose to ignore NPC spawns because they are not, by default, focused on me helps. Of course sometimes fights are unavoidable but it either helps the long walks or fucks you up even more by draining you of resources - which are still plentiful by the way. There is still a way to go but 1.5 feels really Stalker-y.

[warped monolith]

sounds gud

tbf I could've played 1.0 if I really wanted, but I played it for like 20 hours and just "wasn't feeling it"

so idk if my issues were related to 1.0 being shit, the game itself being not that great or just a skill issue on my part

[finite needle]

A mix of all. Game is not a masterpiece, but it has the potential to be. 1.0 was kinda crap, and the gameplay loop is a bit too dated and hoardy.

||I obviously betrayed Spark, but I wonder if Ward gets fancier and more plentiful bases in their run, fucking Spark has nothing||

[viral mist]

Is there a mod that make the "loot dot" to appear much farther ? Half of my game is rummaging trough bushes to find where my last victim droped his damn gun

[fast valley]

It feels weird enjoying it when the whole world seems to hate it

[viral mist]

The game is enjoyable, but it's a raw gem now. Need more cutting and polishing.

Which was the same with SoC and CS

[fast valley]

I think I benefited from not looking at the promotional content outside of trailers and also having not played many mods

[nimble badger]

anyone got a fix for crashing on startup? I just reinstalled the game for the first time in six months

[viral mist]

You're using U4SS for mod loading ?

[nimble badger]

nope

[viral mist]

When did the crash occurs ? Before the main menu ? On game loading ?

[nimble badger]

before main menu

I've sorted it. it was UEtools still being installed from last time I played

[viral mist]

I was about to ask that question

[finite needle]

It's always some kind of modding

[viral mist]

Same happen to me when I reinstall the game a week earlier, my game folder was not that clean

[finite needle]

idk what's going on, happens even on Anbennar - which by itself is a EU4 total conversion. Sometimes some dude comes up claiming new update broke the game and we find out he runs like 18 mods and lacks a couple DLCs.

Oh they fixed it

||in 1.1 at least, Scar was still there after Ward takes over, even after you do the ward quests and betray them||

My 4th thunderberry. Lmao.

They've definitely upgraded the main quest rewards, because I'm getting like 30/35k coupons each. I remember back then the rewards bein in the 15/20k reach.

[warped monolith]

I am also interested in this. If you find this mod, please share

[viral mist]

Didn't find anything in the Nexus. I'll look trough SDK files to see if I find something

[viral mist]

Okay got something, will try to tweak some values and see if that do the trick

[nimble badger]

is there a way to rebind the quick-use slots yet?

[viral mist]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/1377

[nimble badger]

thank you

[viral mist]

It doesn't update the UI but the one-tap works perfectly

[nimble badger]

that'll do just fine

[viral mist]

Inside CoreVariables.cfg file, there is these values :

    InteractionDotsInnerConeAngle = 45.0
    InteractionDotsOuterConeAngle = 60.0
    MaxNumberOfVisibleInteractionDots = 40```

By fiddling with it, I was able to make the dot displays from much more range and wider angle BUT there is no way to filter which dot "category" will be affected and such, the clutter of the UI come faster than a train

[ripe mica]

hello, is stalker 2 any good? or at least worth paying over 100 bucks for instead of playing gamma for free

[odd fjord]

https://tenor.com/view/bait-thats-bait-tom-hardy-mad-max-gif-5055384

[ripe mica]

nope, not bait. id actually be quite happy to pay for it, but since its so expensive id be smart to ask around for opinions, especially considering gamma is free, and very well fleshed out

[viral mist]

Gamma is free, but you are encouraged to buy a copy of the game (CoP) on GoG or Steam

[nimble badger]

is it normal to have enemies fly into the air when you kill them with a headshot?

[golden hazel]

Yes

[nimble badger]

good to know

[kindred violet]

Known bug, will be fixed next patch

I wonder if that was their attempt to fix zombies falling into the ground

[finite needle]

They almost exclusively run Gp37

[remote eagle]

[finite needle]

Oh right they moved the Diamond exo inside now

[remote eagle]

after going in pripyat looting exosketons from stashes is best way to make money endgame

[finite needle]

I really want to do a Ward run now, my second Spark run really left me disliking Spark

[golden hazel]

Ah yes, 10% of the cost of fixing a mid game suit in 1.0.0

[little sage]

Im suprised no one has made a better HUD for the game yet. At least a dynamic HUD would be better

[remote eagle]

im gonna share repair cost later after fundament boss fight

[finite needle]

hud looking like crap is a GSC tradition

[remote eagle]

welp thats not much

Nice scenery, some ghosting and a noontide taking a piss in the river

[sweet mica]

has a better workaround been found for mods and achievements on steam?

[sweet mica]

this fight was bugged for me my first time. also cant believe they would do this to my boy

i still have so much mixed feelings about the direction of the story, i could probably make a 2 hour long rant about it

[sweet mica]

i think i should have sided with him, idk why i didnt

[slim moth]

tell me why installing mods for new vegas is 100x more difficult than modding S2. blows my mind

[sweet mica]

what are you doing? How you installing mods for FNV? its ez as fuck and im a terrible modder

[remote eagle]

because u need 100 more mods to made it play with less bugs

[slim moth]

literally telling me it can't load my DLC's when my DLC's are there. I fixed the load order. downloaded patches, ini's, fixes, NVSE, and a fuck ton of other shit and I can't get Dust Survival to work

[slim moth]

Getting TTW to run with a custom set of mods is lobotomy inducing.

[remote eagle]

how dust is like not that big of mod

[sweet mica]

I've never tried TTW, yet

[remote eagle]

also pure cbt experience

[sweet mica]

Cognitive behavioral therapy?

[remote eagle]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cock_and_ball_torture

[sweet mica]

oh i forgot about that

[slim moth]

well dust is from 10 years ago, and with the combination of more up-to-date mods..

[sweet mica]

just remake FNV

[slim moth]

im not trying to play base dust

[remote eagle]

[slim moth]

and Dust is apparently TTW compatible. tried that. TTW doesn't read my DLC's, it's mod dependencies don't read my DLC's

like i bought the mother fuckers, they're in the load order and plugin's are checked like tf

It's like if you don't have a super curated modpack or collection, you're not going to get jack shit functioning

[remote eagle]

bro

[slim moth]

literally saw footage of people with it combined

[remote eagle]

[slim moth]

and there are mods that say Dust TTW

[sweet mica]

I tried to play Dust when i was younger, it was fun but lost interest cuz lack of RP

[remote eagle]

[slim moth]

either way, done with FNV. it's a waste of fucking time

[sweet mica]

i always had crazy shootouts at them barnhouses

play fo4 its better

[slim moth]

bought FO3 for no fucking reason cause that game has shit mods and compatibility issues as well. Only got it for TTW and i've tried different Wabbajack modlists that didn't even fucking end up running. 83 gb worth of shit and it doesn't even work lmao

If i follow a youtube video step-by-step and your modlist doesn't even fucking work? goofy ass shit. I'll give Grok some props for having a functional updates to a modpack

[slim moth]

I've played it to god damn death. I love FNV but it's so fucking dated that trying to modernize it is so painful and excrutiating.

[sweet mica]

thats why i really really really hope a FO3 and FNV remake is up next like Oblivion

I cant wait to see FO3 remade in modern graphics, cuz that game is sooo old its borderline unplayable on modern pc

[slim moth]

we all pray for FNV remaster. that's the only way we will remotely have anything close to FNV level quality again.

[warped monolith]

[slim moth]

cause not even Bethesda or Obsidian is capable of ever replicating the magic it has

https://tenor.com/view/madagascar-king-julien-all-is-lost-were-all-doomed-we-are-doomed-gif-22757496

[sweet mica]

why tf does my game still look/feel choppy af when i am at 60+ fps

i fucking hate stalker 2s performance so much wtf is this shit

[gentle dove]

It’s ass

Looks and feels like ass

[sweet mica]

I cannot wait until GSC or modders fix the lighting, I HATE the lumen stuff they decided to do

it has its moments, but it shouldnt be moments, it should be the entire duration of the game

[gentle dove]

Only way to fix the game is to remove the engine itself

[sweet mica]

its kinda sad

[gentle dove]

It really is

[sweet mica]

so many questionable choices they made

[gentle dove]

I couldn’t even use fsr because it makes my game looks worse than the OG games and I’m not even exaggerating

And frame gen is bad since I see my scope disappearing and reappearing

[gentle dove]

Many broken promises

A-life 2.0 is example number 1

[sweet mica]

I think in time they could fix properly implement A-life, but this game needed at least 3 more years lmfao

[gentle dove]

I doubt it

Once they release a dlc they will done a patch then fuck off from the game

I don’t think they even know what A-life is on a coding level

[sweet mica]

I dont really agree, theyve been busy fixing it and adding stuff for the past couple months

[gentle dove]

None of the devs are the original developers from the og games

[sweet mica]

im sure they know what a-life is, i just dont think they could successfully do it with the engine and how poorly it performs

[gentle dove]

As I said

[sweet mica]

i think they really need to fix that first for it to be possible

[gentle dove]

Unreal didn’t have alife type systems in mind

They need to fix the cpu performance before anything

[sweet mica]

did they ever explain why they made switch from UE4 to UE5.their personal version?

[gentle dove]

Who knows

[sweet mica]

either way i think in time, if they keep working on it, stalker 2 will be a good platform for modders. sdk just came out so we'll see whats what

[gentle dove]

I dont think modders are very keen on unreal but maybe with the new modding tools it’ll be easier

They need to address the performance before they release any new content or the game will flop

You need good momentum to have modders be willing to spend their time on programming and they won’t if the game is still a chore to play

[plush sun]

try TTW with graphic mods/NVR

look at this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNE7gV1jJhE

[gentle dove]

Try Wild Card

You can do a auto install using Wabbajack

[sweet mica]

sorry but i am not doing an 850+ modpack

[plush sun]

lol

[sweet mica]

its gonna take forever to get it to work and actually run

[plush sun]

you can mod it as you want, use Wasteland Survival Guide as a base

[sweet mica]

and tbh ive played FNV a thousand times, most modpacks are still very dated and i dislike the design choices of some of the most popular

[plush sun]

once you have the modpack working, add graphic mods and new vegas reloaded

[sweet mica]

i dont enjoy modding bethesda games that much tbh

[plush sun]

and dragbody character mods too

[sweet mica]

whats that?

[plush sun]

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

[gentle dove]

Wild card mod pack

[sweet mica]

those are some of the best looking characters ive seen in a while, but i just use https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/82145

[gentle dove]

It has a detailed install

okay I’ll just go fuck myself

[plush sun]

you can combine them

[plush sun]

Ive seen that modpack in a video, it looks kinda bad and outdated

[gentle dove]

It’s not…

[sweet mica]

i dont really want that one, i feel like its too different to og vision in terms of art direction. thats my main issue with most graphics mods. so many texture packs and models just dont mesh well

[plush sun]

wasteland survival guide is for FNV what gamma is for anomaly

https://wastelandsurvival.guide/

[sweet mica]

when i was modding FNV i used VNV for a base

[gentle dove]

VNV is kinda the go to

[plush sun]

VNV is for FNV only, WSG is for TTW

ttw = fallout 3 + fallout new vegas in a single game

[gentle dove]

yes we know

TTW stands for Tales of Two Wasteland btw 🤓👆

[plush sun]

😅

[sweet mica]

so TTW lets you play both games? like in one chracter, or do you select which game to start?

i like the idea of playing FO3 in updated FNV but i dont like if you can play the same game with same chracter and stuff

[gentle dove]

You start in DC

And you can go to Vegas with same character by train

[sweet mica]

eww that is not lore friendly, ill stick to my fo3 with deathclaw companion

[gentle dove]

Ok

[kindred violet]

wtf did they do to arcade

[gentle dove]

They all look dumb

Veronica looks like a entirely different person

[kindred violet]

ah yes, yassified fonv

because what i need in my gritty western nuclear winter is plastic-y unrealistic beauty standards

[gentle dove]

indeed

[sweet mica]

when tf is someone gonna mod back classic dialogue system into S2

i miss it so much

why does S2 chat have such a long cooldown...

[kindred violet]

wdym?

[sweet mica]

everytime u type a message you have to wait 10 seconds to type a new one

[kindred violet]

ohh, you meat the chat itself

[sweet mica]

I feel like that would be better suited for stalker chat newbies chat or general, S2 chat is usually not that quiet

[kindred violet]

I think they never set it back after some shit went down

[gentle dove]

I think probably because they talk

Or is this something new

[sweet mica]

oh if you mean the dialogue in game? I want to see a big box on my screen showing what they said, and i want more than two options. I want to read entire paragraphs about what some drunken stalker at a campfire heard from a friend of a friend whose uncle went to radar

I hate how every time i talk to a random stalker they will say the exact same 2-4 lines and nothing else, makes me want to NOT talk to people. meanwhile in OG trilogy i feel like in each new area people had a lot more to say, lot of variety

id rather random NPCs be silent too, idc much for their voice lines

[kindred violet]

doesn't bother me personally

[sweet mica]

GRR I HATE YOU HOW DARE YOU

[gentle dove]

I would worry about the performance

[kindred violet]

I can absolutely understand also why they wouldn't want to have an oldschool style dialogue window.
because well it's old school and people genuinely don't want that anymore

but obviously they also don't want fo4 tier dialogue systems

[sweet mica]

i do agree it is dated, im the type of guy who has a high tolerance for old games and walls of text. FO1 and 2 are still peak RPG for me

[kindred violet]

that one still boggles my mind

unfortunately you're probably a minority

also I don't have a problem with walls of text myself, i very much enjoy that stuff

[sweet mica]

yeah, but i feel like when big mods start coming out, like Gamma 2, such a system wll have to be added. i dont think people are gonna voice a lot of lines, most would be shit too

[gentle dove]

Fallout 2 mentioned

[sweet mica]

https://tenor.com/view/enclave-fallout2-gif-23731058

[kindred violet]

I will say dialogue for walls of text chats are also not always written like natural dialogue so won't be properly voiced

like in morrowind

[gentle dove]

I think I saw someone try a stalker 2 anomaly ish mod

[sweet mica]

morrowind mentioned

https://tenor.com/view/morrowind-nerevarine-idiot-failed-casting-spell-the-elder-scrolls-gif-3661806299331775822

[kindred violet]

what can I say, they're two very good benchmarks of good game design

outdated by today's standards but still good in context

not to say that today's standards are any good

[sweet mica]

I will say the art direction of S2 is good, this house is so pretty

[kindred violet]

it's really a shame about the problems they have with their specific UE5 branch they're using, the game really has some georgous scenes that don't get to pop properly

level / world designers absolutely cooked

holy fuck i just installed performance mods and fixed mouse acceleration and omg its so much better

im finally getting 100 fps in rostok. how tf did GSC ship the game with the performance that bad? this is actually so much better now

i used to just rush through hubs now i can enjoy them

band named weezer

so Wheezer the stalker is like the band weezer
