anon was correct, the mod to remove the shader pre-load works and game is not stuttery (extra) at allhttps://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/97?tab=description
>>503295871i've fought a bunch of shit, but the random spawning near you is so jarring, like i pick a fight with south ipsf, then some rando loner joins in
Should I play it now or wait for a few months? Will it even make a difference?
the weather is pretty top-notch, at least in Lesser Zone so far

dope

>>503296323Ah good idea. Will do
>>503296461the incentive is they dont kill you
>>503296536They will be gone in a week or 2
Oh no lads it's happening saved on wild island, could load just fine but after starting the game again, crashing.
>>503296536It happens with virtually every relatively niche series general that suddenly gets a lot of attention with a new entry. It'll pass eventually.

tip: eating some hp regenerating item will allow you to survive falls you wouldn't normally
>>503296536Nothing will happen. /sg/ marches inexorably.
>>503297415I have this problem too, even when gamma and brightness are up it's impossible to see shit at night. It's not really that it's dark, it's that there's a fucking milky white filter over my vision or something. It just makes everything look clouded instead of a clear dark night. But yeah the time cycles do feel fucked, 90% of my playtime has been at night so far
>>503297970NTA, but yes. I've added 7 mods to my game on a save thats over 15 hours old
im totally on board with weight mods.all you do is speed up the process of getting money and turning 20 sell runs into 1like why do you need to do the same run 20 times?
>>503297786ok thats kino
Remember to take off your armour when hunting artefacts the armour repar cost is way higher than any artefacts sell price
hell yea got the lynx
>>503298060you're a retarded faggot but mod the game to be as casual as you want
>>503298192>Remember to take off your armour when hunting artefactsthat's not realistic
>>503297415no clue, i dont mind that a day is supposed to last an hour but it feels like i'm in Antarctica where daylight only exists for a 1/6 of the day
OFF TOPIC- does any one here have a oled monitor do you reccomend it? thinking of getting one but people say burn in is still a massive issue and they lose quality over time? worth? or wait for tech to improve?
>Both Freedom and the biggest Bandit clan in the Zone have claimed Factory as a base in the past>place STILL looks like a shithole
Tired of long slow treks? If you talk to someone while crouched then leave you can start sprinting and that won't consume stamina, seems to be some sort of game thinks you are crouching and you supossedly can't sprint crouch or whatever, so go ham if you keep having to do loot runs. Crouching again fixes it.
In case any doomers were wondering, Emissions are not scripted(except the 1st one)
>>503298261It's not but it's the only way you can get around paying 10k coupons because your armour dropped 5% durability
>>503296323>>503296647To be fair the first area of the game is probably the worst one.Either way i'd wait until we figure out the ALife 2.0 situation, if it actually exists and is fixed then the game will be SUBSTANTIALLY better.
why would they brick you by removing the one person that repairs gear because of a story event.
>>503298847just stop getting shot and don't walk into anomalies
>Wearing armor in anomalies is retarded unless you get oneshot, you can just heal yourself>Wearing armor while fighting is retarded>armor only exists to resist radiation and carry artifacts to let you carry more and/or run moreSo given these facts what suits are good?
>>503296751my favorite general never recovered and eventually diedbut it was also because the hyped sequel we all were waiting on was shit :(
>>503298751Huh? First area was fun. If thats the worst one then it's truly goty
>>503298685yeah but the shit spawns tho
>>503297579I always thought that there should be weapons/mutants that deal anomaly damage types. Would make them a lot more important
>>503298243no you (im not even playing s2)

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/110?tab=description
how do i use this?
>>503298980I dont know about late game but the few areas ive been in after the Lesser Zone have all felt way better and I did already like the Lesser Zone too.
>>503299087Is X-18 the only time in the trilogy we fight a mutant with elemental powers?
>>503299256You already used it. As soon as you pick it up it unlocks the upgrade at mechanics. You can just sell it now.
anyone else waiting for a patch? the seconds feel like hours
I fucking hate how the Spas is always a semi-auto shotgun in video games.I get that it actually is semi-auto but it still has the option to be pump action and pump action shotguns are objectively cooler and more satisfying.
why did they give us snipers when you dont see anyone beyond 50 meters... ive had this SVD in my bag all day and havent had the chance to use it once
>>503299428What are you expecting them to fix?Apart from a few crashes, there is nothing that's going to change quickly
>>503299430dont worry, gun autism mods are going to make it so that the gun can run in semi but needs the correct ammo for it (you get a failure to feed malfunc if the loading is too weak)
>>503299428microsoft may cuck us with patch certifaction times. sure its the 2nd or 3rd day but if MS pulls something and wants the xbox to be patched at the same time it could take weeks
>>503298614Thank you anon
>>503299661i'm not expecting anything huge, but a solid first patch would make me think that they don't intend to just leave the game in its current state
Post progress pussies
hey hes doing the thing!
>>503299294>the only time in the trilogyNot really, since there are plenty of fire poltergeists around in the trilogy, not just in X-18. But other than them, there doesn't seem to be any such mutants.
>first chimera>20+ buckshots>20+ slugs>2 or 3 mags from my AR for good measure because my shotgun went into the red and kept jammingWhy are they so fucking tanky? And why does the old sidestep to avoid the leap not really work anymore? I can avoid the leap and the knockdown that comes with it, but it stays right on top of me and swipes me for 90% of my hp per hit. I was able to cheese this one with terrain, but I'm genuinely at a loss on how to properly deal with this. Other than just running away.
>>503298530I can excuse garbage being everywhere in STALKER because unlike fallout, people aren't rebuilding civilization, they are setting up camp to make money or research shit temporarily, presumably to go back home eventually.
they announced the game going 'gold' a whole week before release.at some point they play tested A-Life, general performance, shader compiling being left on dev mode, button bindings missing, enemies seeing you through walls, enemies shooting you through walls, infinite respawning enemies - and thought the game was ready for launchthey're not putting a patch out for at least a month.
>>503299894fun fact: I unironically worked as a video game tester for VMC (Volt Microsoft Corporation) for 4 years. Each console title update has to go through a certification process with potentially three tiers. Bronze, Silver, Gold. Most companies do Bronze. it costs anywhere from $25,000 - $45,000 for that tier and is a three day certification which is why console games only get patched every now and then because doing it frequently would be lighting money on fire.
I really fucking hate the fact that there are no binoculars. I cant tell who the fuck is who from a distance
>>503300220who the fuck are you able to see from a distance with enemies only spawning 20m behind you?
>>503299957what suit allows for 5 artifacts? like wahts the ultimate endgame suit
fuck me it's literally impossible to organize your stashwhy did they make the window so damn small even though stash space infinitely expands?
>>503300275Im looking toward the future for when ALife 2.0 will totally be fixed and in the game.
>>503300279this suit allows it, even has two radiation slots. I just haven't bought the upgrades yet
>>503300279i dunno>>503300372"radiation" slots?
>>503299957where did you find that suit?
>>503300458>"radiation" slots?two slots that are "contained" so you dont get the negative radiation damage from artifacts
>>503300220the only way i've found to determine allegiance is to get really close and see who automatically shoots me, then shoot them.>>503299957damn that inventory is clean. I want a good 9mm gun so I can carry one ammo type for the viper and pistol, or maybe i'll mod the 9x18 SMG? anyone use it yet?
>>503300303Console game. Literally.
>>503300372what suit is that? is it good?
>>503300549i fucking hated that about starfield too. console UI on pc, just what the fuck are they thinking? at least with cyberpunk it was fine.
>"your stove is on fire"I fucking clapped! I think I'm gonna check if I can still refund to free myself of the Marvel clap curse!
Man the gun variety sucks DICKOf all the things they decided to carry over from the original trilogy, why that?
>>503300590very good. I like it alot. you can buy it for WAY less than what it says in the corner, mine is heavily upgraded. it cost me like 68,000K I think?
I do hate the controls are so restrained just to appease controllers
>>503300118There is no shame in running away, the zone will make us smarter, stalker. Or it will kill us.
>>503300742>near full rad and physical>5 artifact slots>no element prot cuz you can just dodge anomaliesendgame suit
i'm so fucking scared brosi hate jump scares i'm literally playing the game at 1% volume
>>503300947there's some anomalies you cant dodge like the razorblade ones or the rare burners that are always going but those are pretty rare.
>>503300947it populated in a random refresh of a certain vendor - spoiler Rostok Bazar I sold everything I had to be able to afford it, it cleared me out for a hot minute.
>>503300723what did this nigga mean by this
>>503301073>razorblade onesthe floating spikes? just walk through them, dont run. Press X to walk
>>503301171oh, that's retarded
>>503301214i think they are meant for higher graphics settings because they are almost invisible to me on a 4090 on Ultra. sometimes I dont even notice them
>>503300732There's a few new ones.But you aren't exactly an elite specops team, what would you like to see?
>X-18 STILL hasnt been stripped clean after Strelok got through it
first time stalker player here, how do I tell the difference between random anomalies and anomalies caused by an artifact?they both just seem to just go beep beep beep and I end up looking for a an artifact that isnt there
>find stash inside a safe>approach it>screen slowly brighten up>make contact with the safe>radiation bar instantly fills up to full>health bar drops to 0 in a second before I can pop antirads/vodkaDamn son, does getting to full rads just outright kill you now?
>>503300529wait whatare those the green slots?
>>503301518artifacts spawn from anomalies, your detector just detects artifacts and it needs to be out to work or even see them, the other beep you hear is just how close you're to an anomaly as a warning
>>503300487from a stash iirc, which one? ive no clue, probably south eastern area wise. its "wanderer suit">>503300529okay i kinda figured>>503300537only because i just got back from the run from sircaa, 2 hercules and 116kg later. ive kept my quickslots uniform between all the games ((not cs) no one plays it) with minmax food and items
>>503301686the left most slot here >>503300372 with the green glow is a radiation container slot
>>503301674It'll instakill you at 60% rads sometimes
do not go to the controller cave holy shit, the asshole takes a million bullets
>>503302081>bloodsucker this controller thatstalker, S L U G S. carry lots of them and aim for the head
The horde of rats that rush you in that tunnel was funny as hell.
>>503302235he took like 10 slugs to the head, 4 grenades, all my ak ammo
what's with the call of dooty ass paint jobs on some of these guns?
any updates from the devs today?
>slash open ammo box>it's upside down and covering the item>as soon as I slash again to move the box, item falls out which is a grenade>explodes when I slash itlmao
>>503302357the gaymers went to the zone
has anyone trued the nvidia ray reconstruction mod? it made my lighting super flickery
>>503302357what gun? i just see leaves
>>503302428KEK
>>503301459Just more everything, its weird seeing every stalker in the zone carrying the exact same guns. More bolt actions, more pump shotguns, more pistols, more SMGs.A Mosin would make for a nice early rifle, some kind of hunting shotgun earlyish and a KS-23 for late game would be sick. Its insane to me that SoC even has more variety with handguns, the 1911 and Beretta being absent is just weird.
how does the shop reset work? I sometimes see new stuff in it but I don't remember if it's because I was far from the base or I slept
sell for buy price
>spend money upgrading viper to near max>get shah's gungoddamnit, can I upgrade it to have a scope mount and laser?
>>503298056Turns out I called my mod folder 'mods' and not '~mods'
>Feel like I still just barely started the game>already got an SVD, m14, and Eco suit
>>503299919No worries, I too dread the having to go two zones away with loot because REASONS, this at least makes it bearable, until you rip all your equipment to shreds because you ran in that knife thing anomaly and didn't slow in time.
>>503302714oh god release the SDK so we can had SoC HUD and UI please...
why can't i lean without having a weapon out? and why is auto lean on mouse and keyboard a thing lol?>>503302662no clue, i once reloaded a save and the shop suddenly had a suppressor for the AK.
does anyone buy artifact for more? or should i just sell them to whoever
E D E E K O M N Y E H
>>503302712ah yep, that will do it. glad you figured it out though
>>503301171Ah seems another thought they looked razorwire-esque and discount burnt fuzz. Crouching also works, if anyone wonders.They're still right cunts when in the middle of a road and you sprint on one too late to notice.
what's with these npcs and their shotguns, literally hitting all pellets on my head from like 80 meters out lmao
>>503298847I modded my game because of this, it happens 2 or three times. I'm not traveling half way across the fucking map for a repair.
>deal with the homing explosive ball thing to explore a few buildings>find a stash>finally get it after half a dozen tries>it's just regular stuff I already have a ton ofCool.
>>503302714The devs have never heard the words scarcity or progression in their lives you just walk into a random dilapidated building and find an as val or a seva suit just sitting there along with a million healing and food items and every single roadside building looks like picrel inside.
>>503296536you will miss htem when they're gone
>>503295871this is what i was saying in the past few generals.I untracked the main story mission and had no sidequests queued up. I spent some time just wandering around Garbage and Rostok, not a single thing happened, no spawns, nothing.The whole Zone seems fake.
>>503303429It feels aimed at consolites that just speedrun the story
>>503303550the entire game feels console prioritized
>>503303429fucking aids.I wanted to earn my high tier guns by finding top secret hidden stashes all on my own without markers. do those even exist? and Im not talking about some random medkits and bullets laying in a corner.
installed this "A-Life" "mod"https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/62going to roam around a little, will see how it goes
>>503303725on stalker or veteran i have not found any. and even if i were to i bet the weapons or armor would be broken already.
>>503299957>DLC gunThe only pussy is you
>>503299957i see youve got the bugged PDAs too? Bubb's and Bandit PDAs?
>>503303725>>503303429bro you can get high tier shit in SOC and COP really early if you know where to look, besides the real late game shit like the SVU, gauss gun and F2000 you can just find random dead duty or freedom guys with lategame shit.
>>503301171lol fuck Im retarded
>>503302785Haven't modders found a way to change textures yet?
>>503303902as val my belovedsaiga my beloved>>503303913)))
the AI shilling from devs marketing had me expecting the enemies to be like CoD where they have dynamic animations for taking positions and peeking you.... but here i am just playing a game where the enemies behave like they are from starfield or something.

>>503303932and?
>>503303981>)))what
>>503303864so every single stash is already pre marked, got it. LOL
what is this blue bar that appears below the compass? is it supposed to be the amount of noise we are making from movement?
>>503303965nah i sprinted through and around those fuckers forever, kept getting bleeds. I accidentally found you could walk through them when I walked around this one area looking straight down and realized I was in a field of the things
I don't give a shit about the a life stuff but they need to unfuck the spawns as soon as possibleit feels like a sisyphean effort to try and clear out any encampment that is larger than a shoebox because while you're murdering the dudes who spawned in one half of it, it's spawning more dudes for you to kill in the other half
stopped reading after "i dont give a shit about a-life"neck yourself tourist
any 1 know how 2 remove the text on the bottom left?
they should have added a mechanic where you could stash your stuff in a hidden place to come back later for. could play around the whole carry weight problem. make it so that the game judges how well hidden it is with a number, and make it so that roaming A-Life stalkers has a chance to find it and steal your stuff.
>>503304319yes, i think when the white indicator blinks it means someone is hearing you. but i can't tell if its that or they can just see you thru walls
the hell happened to skadovsk? shit changed way to much
>>503304463in almost every single scenario I have been in in this game, I will find a building, loot the shit out of it while also not encountering a single enemy, I will then leave this place with all the loot and as I exit 10 dudes spawn immediately in front of me to try and kill me
>>503304635>so that roaming A-Life stalkersyou don't know yet?
>>503304635a-life doesnt fucking exist anon... what the fuck are you talking about?literally all NPCs reset everytime you leave and reenter an area.
>>503304152>he doesnt knowyes, those are the ones>>503304660the ark is still there, the door still gets blown open by a shotgun

>Go to a stash on top of one of the super radioactive garbage heaps>random Stalker calls me a retardsoul
>>503303861sounds promising judging by the comments, I will test it tomorrow
>>503304713that seems to be the common themefind area, loot area, go to leave, get into fight on the way out
>>503304629press any key or button
the fuck is this thing?
>this place is cool an abandoned>look outside the window>4 retards just staring at the wall>4 random loners appear and they start to firethis is retarded
>>503304713>>503304837the funniest part is how the game procs a quick save in the corner of your screen, like yup, here we go again

so if enemies can just be spawned in, and the code is just bugged, surely A-life can be fixed by just massively increasing spawn radius and preventing enemies from disappearing when you enter a menu? I'm entering maximum cope but it seems like a fix that should be doable, if it might take them months/a year to fix. from what i've seen NPCs are smart enough to move around the map and do shit when they are allowed to
>>503304660It's SULTANSK chuddy.
>>503305184There are plenty of great mods. Analmeme and gaymma and their awful "progression" are just terrible.
what I miss the most are the random pop up messages from other stalkers in the zonebut maybe that was a mod, i dont even remember vanilla CoP
>>503305013Mom?
>>503305013i dunno but dont leave your backpack hanging around
did misery 2 ever get fixed? i still remember the huge shitstorm when that mess got released
what i've learned is to never mod a stock gun because you'll inevitably find a special named version later on which has an exclusive mod (and is sometimes lighter for no reason?)
>>503304463>I don't give a shit about the a life stuff but they need to unfuck the spawns as soon as possibleIts all related
>>503305217because that isnt intendedthis is clearly intended
>>503305342this mod >>503303861 tries to do that. the problem is that modders have only found how to adjust spawning distances, AKA bringing offline A-Life online. they haven't figured out how to tweak offline A-Life yet and that seems to be the main issue. if offline A-Life isn't functioning as it should, it means that actors outside your spawning range are not roaming around as they are supposed, which means that they will never roam into your spawning range to be brought online to begin with. there's a version of this mod that tweaks spawning range to ridiculous distances and comments are saying that it just breaks the game.
>>503305660How is an exploit that bypasses the merchant's price multiplier "clearly intended"?
Anybody else really like the radio songs? They're real bangers.
>you can FINALLY swap ammo on shotgunskino
>>503304813Does he actually use the word “retard”? This is important for immersion.
>>503305816they are great, they put in a good mix of classics and (I assume) ukranian rock and punk songs. I wanna hear bandit song and this again thoughhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FzuK1SyaOY

>>503306212see >>503295834fucktard
I like how they made the guards on the central checkpoint wall literally invincible and then placed a stash directly in their line of sight
>>503305994kek
>>503304813Need to know this >>503305865
i miss noah
>>503304110>>503304830ok so i've spent quite a bit of time idling around at Slag's Heap BEFORE this mod was installed, and i've never seen this.this happened after ~10 minutes of idling with the mod.will try roaming around now.

>>503306946hope: not zero
>>503306946that feels a little too intense and, wellits something
>>503306946did this just spawn in front of you?
>>503305013have you never seen a woman
the ambiance of this game is really good, i'm having fun
>have 30-40FPS on lowest settings>storm starts>FPS drops to 8VERY COOL

>>503295569Enjoy the game so far but how the fuck do you turn off the dlss info in the bottom left?
>>503309146not a problem with amd
Its annoying to have to guzzle vodka for the game to not look like shit
is pepsimen in the game?
>game goes into a stutter fit again>decide to restart>game now crashes every time i load a saveNIGGOR
Why can't you throw bolts to distract enemies? Far Cry 1 even had this
>>503309586u do not stealth in this game. stealth is a meme just get to a vantage point and blasts faggots from there
I'm surprised it's not the CPU that's a bottleneck, but I don't think there's a point in fucking around with mods to lower the graphics more because >>503307598
>>503309729Well, yeah but it's a feature that should have been in SoC, considering they simulate other autistic audio shit like pulling out your weapons and going through noisy bushes
i need to go back to sultansk and sell shit. and i wish i could get some of these quest items out of my inventory it would be nice
>>503307298no, the bandits emerged out of view from behind the containers at least. >>503307168bethesda-grade combat AI
The people complaining about Bloodsucker HP have clearly not seen the Chimera
>>503308150Never had a crash mid game, but I just came back from dinner to the last 3 hours of my saves being corrupted. Save often and pray. Considering waiting on a patch. The idea of a whole 20 hours of gameplay corrupting is terrifying. >>503309450Another one, starting to wonder if this is gonna be a huge problem. How many hours?
>>503310423this was playtested lmao
>>503308871noone asked you for yours you fucking worthless, brainded cancer nigger. go kill yourself
Is there a stash in Garbage? I cannot find it near the bed area
I understand this reference.
>>503310423are there pseudogiants?
I barely got started, I've done a few questswhere I can fine some artifacts? I've lurked some anomalies but cant find any
>first Ecologist suit isnt able to handle weak radiation Are you fucking serious?????
I don't get the poppy field part at all. I think I might need some yellow paint to show me the way.
>>503310929so artifacts are completely cooked?
>>503310423I think something is fucked with their damage modifiers, maybe it has to do with ammo types or headshots idk
>>503310423
this reddit shitter summed up this entire community (yes, including this general) so well, you guys are in the one in a million reality where stalker 2 is actually real and is successful so far and you decided not to support the devs just because it isn't the game you dreamed up in your decade-long delusion?fucking kys, this is why HL3 will never be a thing too
>jump through window of guard tower and like like 4 shotgun shells>3 fucking bloodcykas spawn outsideFUCK OFF
>>503310483>How many hours?34
Can't wait to start playing. Any performance tweaks and shit I should know of going into 2? I've watched a few videos and looked at nexus, not sure which "optimizer" mod is actually useful
>>503311464It’s just another generic shooter now. Not stalker.
Okay seriously what the fuck? Why is the stash ui like this? This game made 70 million dollars over night
>>503311556RIP, I went a few hours back and found a save that worked. My current schizo theory is TSR and FSR should not be used together. Only change I remember making today.
>>503311464eat shit hohol, and when you're done fix your trash game
>>503311624You don't play many shooters to even say that, shut the fuck up, poser
>>503310423>patiently waits for you to finish unloading
>>503311464>this is why HL3 will never be a thing tooand that's a good thing, valve can focus on making new ips, which this industry needs
>>503311625console babies get scared of inventory management
new p2w suit dropped
>>503311230One of the dudes on Nexus that made a mutant damage mod said that their HP isn't dramatically high, but all the mutants have their physical damage resistance set insanely high, which is largely what is making them seem tanky.
>>503311893what new IP bro? only fucking Deadlock so far
>>503311912I get that it's a console game but the fucking inventory is right thereIt doesn't make sense that it has to scroll down, or that it's smaller than your fucking inventory eitherI'm more pertubed by the scrollingThis game did not deserve to sell this well
>>503311951>only 2 bars of phys
Played 21 hours. Taking some months breaks now so GSC can fix this mess. Waited over 10 years for this, I can wait some more. In the meantime I’m going back to Pillars of Eternity.
>>503312043Wawawawawa, developers don't deserve to be fed because they didn't design the UI the way I like it!
this thing is neat
>>503312105>Sawyerslopyou're better than this, even if I don't know you
>>503312105nerd
putin didnt like the a life so he did it
>>503312141Nice selfie, bitch. Yeah, they don't. Whatcha gonna do about it, cry some more?
>>503312204I barely have any recent CRPGs left. PoE is one of the few that remain, and so far I like Eder. Very strange system though.
Did I just get very unlucky or is there some trick to getting the artifact down from up there?
Overall I'm enjoying the game a lot and it's what I wanted in a lot of ways, but despite being an open world it feels like they really want you to follow the main story which is linear, and the lack of working a-life makes world traversal kind of boring. I went to Zaton and the swamps and I got all of 2 quests and couldn't do anything else and hardly saw any other Stalkers. I also just ran into the psychic dogs at the chemical plant on the quest for that ward guy and those dogs have insane health.
>>503312025i mean if they started hl3 development and focused heavily on it after the second one we might not l4d, tf2, d2, cs and support for those games, and i'm not saying that valve is infallible, but seeing how deadlock came out, i'm kind of hopeful, and not bitter about hl3 anymore
>>503305013romanian gypo
>>503312353shoot it, silly
>>503305013Beard goes by the name of Sonya this days.
is there a special named m860 before I upgrade the one I have?
They should have drafted whoever came up with this.
so the brood is another place with infinite spawning enemies
>>503312480this is who you play as in clear sky right? why is he so effeminate?
>>503312396while developing the HL2 series, Valve was at their most active with pumping out new shit, hell, even when making HL1, they already had multiple projects goingno real reason to think that a hypothetical HL3 would halt any kind of new IP, they just do what they want
i'm making it my mission to install every single "performance" mod that comes out and seeing how long the game can last before it completely dies
>>503310423how did this get through QA testing??
>>503311464Lol the game doesn't deserve it's success. Once again journalists aka YouTube essayists hyped this game up based off of playing mods that fixed the games. Stalker was always unplayable without fan patches. It's an inherently good franchise with horrible coding and it always has been.
>hear some nice song on the radio>it's some cookie cutter post punk>ok, imma check the ost>over 400 tracksHoly shit why? Ever heard about quality over quantity?
>>503312141>developers95% of the money is going to the shitty CEO exploiting minimum wage workers in ukrainethe same bloodline as the motherfucker who fired everyone that worked on the first 3 games and dissolved the companytourist
>
>>503312316beat underrail?
>>503312480Lost to the consoles
fun fact: If you watch an emission and look for this little storm, artifacts will be where the lightning is hitting
>>503311693Verifying didn't fix it. Fuck it, I'm dropping this pos.
So how much is Nikita shaking knowing that in a few year, his entire shitty game can be ported into this dynamic UE5 open world?
>>503312642your game runs with all of them installed at the same time in the first place? that alone is kind of impressive
>>503312775Yup, amazing. Looking forward to Fusion.
half the time the vault doesnt work what gives?
>>503312721keep making up things in your head anon, just don't post that garbage online, that's all i'm asking
>>503312721>boss underpaying employees and buying expensive shit while the game rotsyep, sounds like slavs, same as tarkov
>>503311798just like ur mum ;)
>>503312480HOLY CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE BATMAN
no meaningful mods until modding kit releases right
The reduced running stamina cost mod makes the game so much more bearable
>>503312423already tried spraying it with a bunch of ammo and 203s, no luck
>>503312904>keep making up things in your head anonOH NO YOUR MORAL HIGHGROUND HAS BEEN TURNED UPSIDE DOWNSorry you weren't aware that the stalker IP holder is essentially Ukrainian EAthe minimum wage in Ukraine is also equal to 230 USD
nigger what, nimble was just using it how is it broken already
At the start 7500 value artifacts sold for 1150. Now they sell for 1293. Why?
>>503313098>the minimum wage in Ukraine is also equal to 230 USDmonthly
>>503313234maybe theres a hidden trader rep system? or you are selling to a faction you are allied with and it's not listed in the PDA because this game is unfinished
>>503313225they are using broken guns, dufus
>>503309146any solush plox?>>503309273maybe I'll try that in the future
kek at the free sniper bug. you randomly switch to it replacing your second slot even though ive never seen this gun
>>503313234dont sell your artifacts to the weapons guy lol
>>503313291It's not a hidden system, the game fucking tells you that you have a reputation.
minecraft literally has better A-Life than this
>>503312141They don't deserve money for this cash grab, yes.
i can't find the fucking cellar
>>503312141the developers are not the people finalizing design conceptsthe developers are not the people making all this moneythe developers never worked on the original 3 games
>>503313753it's in between, and just past the two houses if you come from the east
from where you start, aim at the two houses in the distance, run straight at them and go between them. keep going past them by about 30ft and look down
>>503313234Trader reputation. Also I found that Beard had the highest prices for me so far when I sell.
>>503313878Each of the 3 OG games have different people working on them, so your argument is already retarded
the original A-Life head programmer still works at GSC btw
>>503313753It's not in any of the houses, it's out in the field. The poppies will go down into a hill and it's at the bottom of that hill with a little square entrance into the ground.
>>503313946No, that reinforces my argument that GSC is a shitty company and took every possible chance to exploit the current political climate for this game. Even misusing the death of an old developer and retards thinking they were an actual dev for stalker 2
>>503314087russki mad as fuck lolllll
didnt they used to have stalkers walking around on the main roads in og games? so far i've only met that guy on the bridge with the binoculars and he seems to be static
>>503314164>russia being mad at Ukrainian exploitationyou're not very literate are you?
>>503314242you're just using every excuse to be mad lol invader piece of shit
>>503312196what makers it better than a regular ak besides the durability?
>>503314208JUST LIKE THE OLD GAM... shit... wait...
>>503313915Sidorovich offered the same value the first time I met him, as did Quiet.
>>503314298Do you work for Babel on behalf of GSC by chance?Do the needful and respond truthfully please.
>>503314164ukranda lost, sweaty
>>503314329quickmag for significantly faster reloads, and has a grenade launcher
>>503314298It's actually a tactic called "concern trolling"
So fun bug time. Spoilers.Cant give the psi device to lodochka because his fucking door wont open.The new zalissya safehouse from monolith had monolith spawn inside, but since its a safe zone none of the NPCs can shoot either so i have to leave them to their stalemate, probably a bad ending cause the FUCKING DOOR IS LOCKED.
alright for real have we figured out how to avoid the homing balls of electricity? they just beeline for me if i get "spotted" and you cant seem to avoid being spotted.
>>503313098I forgot they made cossacks, that was a banger
>>503314581run backwards as soon as they spawn and hope you are fast enough
>>503314517run up the ramped roof to your right and fall through
>>503314597they made literal millions from cossacks and ran away with the money from that too
>>503314519
are named/"unique" guns better than their generic counterparts?
>>503312196>>503314506Are you able to put grenade launchers and quick mags on regular AKs? I dont like the unique guns, i'd rather just customize my own.
>>503314506>>503314783i want to know this too, is the quickmag unique to that gun?personally i would prefer it that way, i had hoped for lots of cool secret unique modded gunslike actually modded guns and not just "le fast firing ak that belonged to streloks cousin".
>>503314783>>503314960yes, I've found grenade launchers for sale for 12,000K.Attachments like quick mags and shit are rare than fucking artifacts. I've done nothing but explore and hunt stashes and I've found maybe four weapon upgrades this entire game.
>>503314642The cat nest? I didn't see anything in there, unless I'm blind.
>>503305776because he still sells you the same shit for far more than the adjusted price, which implies that the adjusted price is what the trader price multiplier is actually supposed to be.
so is it true S2 doesn't have a-life?
>>503315192Yes
>>503315192It has a life, and that's all that matters.
>>503315192yes its true npcs literally disappear when u turn aroundlet alone leave a location and come backits NOTHING like the original
>>503315187No it does not
>>503315192more like half-life
After 12 hours of stalker my pc blue screened. I think its time for a break. good night /sg/
>>503304003they do take cover but in a really dumb way where their head sticks out
why cant we harvest mutants, is there so much food on the zone and the scientist already saw all they needed so they don't pay jackshit for the parts anymore?
>>503315192a-life more like re-spawn
I keep getting crash loops in Zinglyssria or whatever the fuck it's called and it's driving me fucking insane. I go exploring, come back to sell guns, and I just quick save like a lunatic praying that I don't get a crash while talking to people or selling my shit.
>>503315192It's basically like Dragons Dogma 2
>>503314517i really like how the game looks man its a shame about the other stuff
>>503315654Yeah just keep saving
even a simplified repair and craft mechanic would make the game feel more complete, it fucking sucks repairing anything takes all your money, and you're encouraged to not even gear yourself
am I dumb or can you not turn off integrated lasers?
>Swedish
why have all of the trader icons turned green
>can't drop the pistol because you use it on cutscenes, and they wanted to avoid the case where you have no pistol and just pull one up your ass
>>503315976they're green for me in zalissya but not in slag's ranch
>>503316013Master Chief can summon an assault rifle out of his ass during cutscenes, they should have just done that.
Does anyone else's game CTD when trying to enter Sidrorovich's bunker?
>>503316013i wouldnt even complain if skif did that, its completely understandable, they do it in loads of games but forcing it in inventory is just silly
>>503314960>>503314783I just found one haha, so yes, you can put them on AKs
>>503302639the feller in the bar at the start of the game pulled out a M9 and placed it on the table and I was like "I can't wait to get that!" imagine my disappointment
skif's default pistol feels better than the USP for some reason, and they offset the mag size advantage with a free extended mag for skif's pistol anyway... kinda dumb
>>503315976rep
>>503315628same reason we cant run while reloadingor run while healingor vault things that you should be able to vaultor have a minimap
>>503307157yeah, seems unless you have quests active, you're not going to come across anything dynamic, not even in the sense of things spawning in.
>>503316013>have silencer on skif's pistol>cutscene one doesn't have itbravo
>>503314510being a disingenuous retard is not trollingits just another tier of pic rel.this actually reinforces my belief that they truly are actually retarded.
>>503316368you can cancel the eating animation by sprinting so technically you can heal while running
>>503316307Its because it is. It even does more damage than an AK, its some kind of retarded bethesda logic where semiautomatic guns always do more damage than automatics.
>>503316446N-NO THE DEVELOPERS NEED TO EATN-NO STOP POINTING OUT THAT THE DEVELOPERS ARE GETTING ASSFUCKED BY SOME RICH ASSHOLE
I saw one artifact that spawned partially in the terrain but I was able to grab it. Now I'm at another and I'm pretty sure it spawned underground, below the actual anomaly field. I have the scanner that measures how close you are and the closest I can get is 6 units, no better. Shits just in the ground, out of reach.
>>503316368the vaulting thing really fucked with me when looking for stashes >no, i can't vault onto the hood of the truck that means the devs couldn't have intended me to get onto it to get to the stash>you actually have to do a sprint-jump to get on the hood to get to the roof oh i forgot i was playing slavjank
>can't heal until the animation ends>but can open inventory use a bunch and cancel the animation, since you already healed
>>503316494Your entire argument hinges on "abusing ukrainian minimum wage" but programmers won't make minimum wage and the studio moved to PragueFucking moron
So this is how the skaven started.
>>503316539that particular jump is what really fucked me up>looks like the back of the truck is low enough to vault, you cant>looks like the front of the truck is low enough to vault, you cant>randomly able to vault things higher
>>503315725drag on my dog ma, 2
The fact that Skif is such a fucking weak bitch without the upper body strength to do a pull-up is pissing me off more than almost anything else. Its 2024 and this game doesn't have a mantling system, the only thing you can do is quickly step up things that are about as tall as your knees.
>sido: I'll triple your pay for this *special* job>do the job>its only 1600i can just kill some asshole, take his yellow gun and make the same
>>503316539gayma has a vault mod that managed to be 1000x better than the shit in 2 in fucking x-ray
>>503316576>As of 1st January 2024, the minimum wage has increased to CZK 18,900>1,900 Czech Koruna equals78.11 United States Dollarwow so they can be paid even LESS
>>503316489pistols are just brokenit takes me 2 shots to take down a dog with a PMit also takes me 2 shots to take down a dog with a double barrel
What's up with the crazy Tribes inertia this game has? I've litterally just kms running and jumping twice. What's up with that crazy strafe running too?
can any anons tell me about the DLC stash quest? is it worth doing?just seems like journalist easy mode, first stash had a retardedly good armor. i don't know if i wanna do it if all the rewards are overtuned and not really unique, i'm enjoying the difficulty and hobo phase currently.
I HATE THE SWAMPS I HATE THE SWAMPS I HATE THE SWAMPS I HATE THE SWAMPS I HATE THE SWAMPS I HATE THE SWAMPS
>>503316808You can just sell themApart from the armour it's just skinned guns, at least early on
I didn't see a purpose to having a shotgun with me in the other three Stalker games. I still don't see the purpose of bringing a shotgun with me in Stalker 2. I just don't get it, what's the point? It always fucking sucks and you're better off fighting literally everything from farther away anyways.
>>503316743>As of 2024, the minimum wage in the Czech Republic is 18,900 (EUR 744.68) per month.
>>503316808i got all the lesser zone stashes and the cordon but there's already better gear in other places
>>503316808Yes it is literally the best shit in the game 4 free, you maybe have to do a 2 minute jump puzzle or throw a bolt in an anomaly and run past it to get to each one.
>>503316808Giving you late game armor would be hilarious because it's actively detrimental due to repair costs
>>503295569So I legit got soft locked in my SoC run. In yantar when you do the quest to get the psi helmet thing the bunker door is just perma locked and the assistant scientist is stuck walking into it after escorting him. I tried reloading, killing him, shooting for door, grenades, killing the enemies behind the bunker, nothing works. Has anyone else had this happen? I don't have a earlier save that isn't hours behind because I tried leaving the area to fix it and that replaced my auto save. If not I'll just drop it, heard clear sky is just as buggy as this so I'll just play CoP if so
just read that there are no Night vision googles. Is this really true if someone has went far into the game? How do you see at night?Also is there an identification system like in gamma where it tells you which faction the enemy is from or do you guys just start shooting everybody
>>503316865it made sense in mods cuz of mutants, here you should just get a long range and a medium range with hp bullets
>>503316865If it wasn't a shitty video game logic shotgun with an effective range of 10 feet, they would be great.
>>503316808the guns are kinda meh, they're appropriate for the zone you find them in and don't have any crazy properties or attachmentssuits are super expensive to buy and repair so finding one is a huge boost
Has anyone figured out how to open that safe that's at the Intercom Tower in the Cement Factory? The safe with the 6 digit code.I figure it has something to do with the clock above it or the calendar that's nearby, but I can't make sense of it.
>>503317018Crosshair turns green if you mouse over a friendly, and that's about it.
>>503317018crosshair turns green if you mouse over a friendlyenemies that dont have aggro on you are marked as green too
can someone explain to me why framegen breaks specifically holographic sights like this when moving them its making me PISS blood
>>503316857>go to swamps early>nothing there but some transmitters part of a quest later>no NPC settlement>not quests to find>no fast way out with a guide>annoying to travel because of waist high water>cabins that teleport me that I don't know the trick to in order to get all the way to the bottom>also running slow because I found an SVD and refuse to drop itIt was a rough few hours today.
>>503317018the bar on top tells you if they are aggro, but can't tell from far away
>>503316865because it's fun and cheap to usetoo bad the shotguns in this game deal literally less damage than pistols
>>503316862selling kinda kills the difficulty for me too, feels like free money.>>503317008it wasn't late game but SIGNIFICANTLY better than the debut jacket i found.>>503317036i might pass on it then if there's no real unique stuff to it. maybe i'll do it on a second playthrough.
>>503317149AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
the fact you can't jump over electros is kinda aids
>find a bunch of 7.62x39 rounds>it's only for the PKM???is that right?
You did remember to pick the guitar up from Hamster's place, right?Right?
>>503317110>enemies that dont have aggro on you are marked as green tooThis is so annoying
>>503317415I would rather it be a list of guitar songs you could choose from compared to the shit we got.
>>503316494different poster retardI don't give a shit about your feelings
>>503317429AFAIK there's no reputation system in the game so you can go full murder hobo on everyone you see
>>503317487I wish it was more guitar hero like where there was a list of songs, you could pick them, and then try to play them
Top posts on reddit are screeching about the alife ( and that is a good thing )Hope the devs fix it
>find 416>it's kinda meh
should i save artifacts, pdas and flashdrives?
>>503317591artifacts dont sell for shit, you SHOULD use empty inventory space for just hoarding guns, because you can sell broken ones later for decent money
>>503317557you literally get one at the start of the game wdym
>>503310423It took two boxes of 7.62x39 to kill one for me, that's like 260+ rounds.
>>50331042310 years of dev time
>>503317671this is a find in the wild not the tutorial area
>>503317113I have no idea, I just had to turn off framegen, lost 80 FPS. No idea if this is something can be fixed or just how framegen works. Really do hope there is another dot sight somewhere that doesn't have this problem.
>>503317760you can keep everything you found minus the artefact from the tutorial
>>503317557>5.56x45>less damage then 9x19yep
>>503317113>>503317832because framegen is horseshit that was NEVER EVER intended to be used on shit below 60fps but RETARDED ILLITERATE CONSUMERS have enabled this behavior
>kill some retard sleeping on a ledge in cordon bandit camp>go up there>can still hear him snoring even though hes dead
>>503317949I have for sure not kept up with the new tech. Are you saying this is only a problem if you are having FPS? Because even with framegen off I'm at 80-90 FPS.
what counts as "shelter" during a blowout?i keep dying inside houses
>>503318136that frame smear is related to upscaling as well no matter which flavor of it
Oh no
Is there a reason why you can't sleep during emissions? Like of all times to get shuteye, it's best doing it during hell on Earth.

>>503318476That only can happen if offline A-life actually exists.

>>503318476if this kind of mod gets made it will only reveal how shitty a-life is in HoC right now
>>503318258does the factory you rescued the dude from at the start of the game not count?
>>503318763no idea my dude. I got caught outside in one and just ran inside a beached boat that had hella windows and it didnt fuck me up. not sure what dictates safe or not
Don't forget to disable avtosaving and don't save in or around rookie village, fellow stolkors.
>game autosaves 1 second before deathvery cool
>>503318918wait why?
Is there a way to dodge enemy lunge attacks? Like a blooducker's jump or a boar's charge or are you forced to take damage from these no matter what? A bloodsucker's jump attack can knock you down and finish you off while you're getting up on Veteran.
>no minimap that shows dead bodieswell how the fuck u supposed to find them>>503307828why is it always the soupcels seething
>>503319097Stand on something waist high
>keep getting detection bars from behind>its random bandits and shitis that what the alife thing is about?its pretty irritating, especially when going into somewhere that turns out to be empty but suddenly fills with enemies when i'm leaving :/
>>503319097I think you can jump shot them like you're playing Call of Duty multiplayer. Just jump backwards or sprint and jump.
poisonous hole is broken for me now. it hasnt spawned any artifacts at all
>>503319097sprint jump, atleast you can avoid it on here
>>503319168its random you fucking twatthere wont always be artifacts there. the emission resets them to randomized locations
>>503318193doesn't occur with dlss or fsr enabled, only frame gen causes this problem for me
>>503319147play the original games. this is fucking nothing like alife. its random spawns ,on top of you, at all times.
>>503318918elaborate
>>503318136>I'm at 80-90 FPS.dude how did you achieve this, what's your rig? 3080 + i9 10850k + 64gb ram and I can't get this pos to run at a reasonable framerate without framegen
the ar416s accuracy is so garbage
>>503318950>>503319298Game can corrupt your saves around the time you're doing that portable psi emitter quest. Save manually and often.
>>503319147with alife you would see them a few hundred meters away, 300meters in cop and 1000+ in mods. with alife they would stay there if you left there a few hundred meters away and came back. with alife you would see them on the pda map a few kilometers away if there were markers on the pda like in cs/anomaly
>pack of rodents try to attack me while I'm artifact hunting>run away immediately after picking up the artifact>for the past half hour since then, single rodents have just randomly come to attack me, regardless of where I am (in the duty base, underground, in a different anomaly field, always just a single rodent)It almost feels like they tried to have a system where if you ran from certain enemies and went past where they're allowed to exist, they would have them spawn behind you at a later point to simulate them following you, but it's just broken (as expected).Or it's just the spawning breaking in just the right way to make me think something like that.
i love when bandits spawn on me for no reason
>>503311951cool design tho
Get out of here stalker!

>>503319478No shit, that is exactly when mine corrupted. Is it just Cordon or general proximity in time to that quest?
>Faust boss fightThis is going to filter millions.
>>503320407Seems like it's the latter, I've acually found a working save in the rookie village before I went up that hill.
>>503295569Can someone help me solve this? I run dx9 and the shadows look blocky. dx11 is fine and so is 8, havent tried 10. Pic rel is how the shadows behave
Gonna play soon. How are you liking it so far?
now I've never played a STALKER game before, 2 is my first, but is it normal for these game to feel frontloaded as fuck?the further you venture into the zone the less actual shit there is, loot-wise. I'm deep as fuck in the Swamp and there is actually nothing here, no artifacts that I can see either. The rookie zone had artifact spawns all over the fucking place and cool shit to explore
game over chuds your nazi russian game suck!!!!
>>503320721bad progression, not enough weapons variety

>>503320537Fuck, I redid the quest and tried to redo most of what I lost. Gonna boot back up now, bet it corrupted all saves after that. >>503321670Literally happened to me retard, heed the warning or don't

>>503321274What the fuck are "high-corrosion Zone weapons"?
>>503321734Glad to report the saves are still intact after the do-over of the portable psi emitter quest. Save was done in the wild island. Though my one from before was corrupted all the way out in Zaton. Seems to be once you get a bad save any after are fucked, have to roll all the way back to the last working one in this circumstance.

What the fuck, I just noticed a little moon status effect icon, im assuming its for sleep.Ive played for over 10 hours and have hardly ever actually slept, I assumed that sleeping wasn't actually a mechanical need.
>>503321629I suspect it has something to do with shadow distance, i tried changing any and all settings but to no avail Thanks anyway

God dude I am so beside myself at how disappointed I am with Stalker 2. I can't even put it into words. Its like I am playing a slightly better Fallout 4.
>>503299087Actually I came across a dog in stalker 2 that electrocuted me and had like an electric aura around it.

is this Loki's gun or smth?
>>503323649Well I couldnt stand the originals without mods either, so idk what I expected. The base game seems good at least. Guns, atmosphere, sound. All good. I have faith they will patch some shit and mods will fix the rest.
so this guy just scammed me for half my ammo for nothing?
PDAs have the AFU symbol on the back lol. they just couldn't help but shoehorn their shit in somehow.
>>503305749Don't mean to be doomer, but they didn't find offline configs because there is no offline A-Life. Game doesn't exist if the player isn't nearby.
i installed a couple of mods that decrease sprint stamina usage and increase carry capacity and now my playthrough is permanently fuckedmy character sprints at like a third of the normal sprint speed even at 0 carry weight (and this is after I deleted the mods in an attempt to undo the damage)
>>503324039you know what to do.Captcha: HWARD
>>503324128y u mad tho
>>503324168what about if you roll back to a save that didn't have the mod applied?
>>503317113this happens in other games too btw, i remember framegen breaking holos in some shitty milsim.
>>503311464IDK Maybe the devs should include all the features they advertised in their game instead of removing them from the steam page days before release.
i hope modders recreate the stalker 2 map in analmeme or as its own thing in open x-ray
>we need you to defend this spot while wave after wave of exosuit squads charge youAt this point I'm no longer playing for fun. I just want to finish this campaign and be done with it.
>scopes are just an FOV zoom with a texture on the front glass>lasers on guns dont point towards where the bullets actually goI am going to kill myself.
>>503324568this game wasn't made by gamers
Why did the guard not give a shit about Soul after I told him "I knew the truth" about the artifact. He still paid me too. I don't get it. I thought it was a myth that it created the artifact from the body and I dumped it into the anomaly anyway and he still paid me lmao
>>503312141Yes
I can't deal with this game anymore, shit keep crashing on my system with the 0x0000000000000098 code. FFS I give up. I can ignore the AI and shit like that for nostalgia purpose, but crashing every 1 hour? Fucking hell
anyone know how the fuck to get into this part of the church??
>>503324515lmao stalker 2 is so bad at this point it would just be better to port the map over to analmeme lmao we've reached the peak of gaming

where the fuck do I get some better armor near zalissyathe one at the merchant isn't worth it and the techie wants 4k to repair my shitty starter jacket>>503319252>only frame gen causes this problem for methis is fundamentally how framegen works - it's vector magic which tries to predict extra frames, so a red thingy moving left = "hmm it'll probably be further left" but you just moved right instead and shit looks wrong
>>503324714IIRC, there are floorboards you can break, that will get you up top. Look for the yellow breakable wood on the floor. I never saw breakables on the floor until that point, so it took me awhile to find too.
>>503322293Welp I am going back to Wasteland 3.
oh, okay. i found a legendary artifact in a starting anomaly with an echo detector
>>503315906A fuckin swede? Put him down before he makes a video game.
>>503324813I figured it out, I found the breakables but the upper area past the stairs is locked behind a mission. guess I'll come back later
Can you actually sell low durability weapons at specific vendors, or was that just some bullshit I read earlier?
>>503324940yes. broken guns CAN be sold later, horde them if you have the space.
>>503324869wtf
>>503324975>horde them if you have the space.Yeah, yeah, okay.
so what's the current state of techy mods?I read you can replace fsr 3.0 with 3.1 but some people have issues with itthere's also the usual "totally not placebo" placebo engine tweaksanything else?

This game is proof the 5.45 caliber is terrible
>>503323714why the fuck do i get stutters with a slightly better rig than you on even low settings
>>503295569so i went to the lab in SoC and shot an anaomly, it played a cutscene then the game crashed. was that an ending?
>>503325070i installed dlss framegen enabler mod since i only have a 3080, works great despite the 10ms latency. was at around 40fps in villages but now 80fps. 100+ out in the wilderness. also did the thing where you add nvidia ray reconstruction denoiser in place of the lumens denoiser, makes the game look better i think.
>>503325278Less sausage pics clogging up the hard drive
>throw grenade>enemy goes flying>they throw grenades while on the groundbullshit
>>503325071i thought they made my resistance to radiation weaker instead of just irradiating me.
>>503323029But actually. There's been other dev leaks that show microsoft contracts stipulates that the console version has to have near parity with the PC port feature wise. It's actually a big deal.
>nafo trannies here to downplay legit complaints like lack of a-life, stalker 2 feeling like a remake of SoC and not a real numbered sequel???GSC pay for it or something?
>>503325278EVERYONE is getting stutters no matter their build, mate. But its different when you're running it on shit hardware as opposed to good. You accept it on shit hardware, on good hardware you start asking questions.
>>503325278Everyone has a different definition of "perfectly playable" and "it works on my machine". I have a 4090 but the game feels like ass no matter what graphic options are used. Input lag is always bad even with frame gen off, and UE stutters are here in force. I find the performance unacceptable, but its not like I have a choice in the matter. I wish I could live in blissful ignorance and just not pay much attention to how my games perform, like when I was younger.
>>503325543Salty boy, stop being salty.

Raided the Cordon military checkpoint and walked out with a bunch of ammo and 3 full durability suits
Been playing for about 15 hours. This ain't it chief, I am trying to think of a singular positive this game has over the original and can't think of anything, I can look past performance issues because those can be patched, and I understand corner cutting but this is beyond that. If anything I just want to mod the crap out of the originals and play those instead.

I haven't been to SRICA or the west of Garbage yet.
>>503325950Nah, NVidia straight up locked the feature to 40s series to sell more cards. Tricking a game into thinking you have 40series allows framegen to work on earlier cards.

>>503326689>what's the best free roam ModUnironically Gamma. The thread will crucify me for saying this but I am right.
>>503326714Ah heard about it, anything else I can slam into it? I want it packing with content.
why doesn't the anomaly beeper show the floating glass stuff
>>503326245i think nexus is for homosexuals and trannies
>>503326781Its been a while desu. I'm pretty sure the moddb page has a list of things you can add.

>Magdump my AK pointblank into this military fucker in the sphere.>Doesn't flinch at all, and kills me.Fuck sake the suppressed PM feels better than this shit AK.
>>503325726I mean yeah, most games do this. They get this perfect representations where everything falls into place for major trailers/presentations. Hell, all industries do this. The amount of times I've seen presentations from companies trying to sell me their product and its implemented perfectly in perfect conditions is a lot. This is not a new thing.That being said, I don't think this trailer was that far off. Obvious animations around picking up an anomaly or the bf2042 style attachment behavior aren't in the game. But I wouldn't say my experience in the game has been that far off from what the trailer represented so far. >>503325752Nicee, congrats. Must have taken you awhile to get back to base haha. >>503324869God damn. That's one hell good find. That radio protect, beautiful.
>>503326778Gonna give it a go because I keep hearing its either the best thing of all time or trash fire and the worst thing that happened to STALKER. So I will form my own opinion
>>503326778>>503326856Where did the hate for anomaly and gamma even come from? I always thought anomaly was looked at rather well in years past, but /v/ and this thread seem to have a hate boner for it now.
I protected Ninth. Fuck the boomers in the Zone. Especially that fucking cripple.
>>503326949Same here actually. I recall glazing GAMMA and especially Anomaly on /v/ a while back and everyone loved them aside from the minor/preference complaints. They're easy enough to customize for your preference too
I can't believe poor Skif has a tapeworm :(
>THANKS FOR THE HELP STALKER>HERES THE CODE FOR THIS MONOLITH STASH>4 broken akms
>>503326949CoC and Analmeme started off with already insane item bloat due to carryover from Misery. Gamma only made it worse by adding even more shit on top of that. People roasted it as a lazy joke modpack but its really come a long way since then.Gamma has gotten WAY better over the past few versions and streamlined a ton of mechanics. The next update is going to remove artifact containers, rebalance artifacts, belt addons, and armor stats, and remove overall weapon condition so the only repairs you do are to the parts.
I know the game has flaws but damn that garbage fight felt just as kino as the originals. I love that it made a return
How and why are people eating up this a-lifeless, unbalanced, poorly optimized polish shooter in early access with terrible AI and give it 80% positive reviews. They were lied to and still 80% positives.
>>503327132Yo that sounds dope, genuinley looking forward to the update. Feel dumb for installing it earlier today, but oh well.
>>503326280Think it depends on what made you "love" the original series. In terms of atmosphere/feel, they have it nailed down. Where it is struggling? Difficulty is a bit "effy". Some mutants take way too many hits to kill in my opinion. Enemies are way to quick to throw grenades (you go into cover and bandage, before you finish bandaging yourself they threw a nade lol. Its annoying after awhile). There's a big focus on inventory management. There's also some economy issues at the endgame where costs seem to be out of balanced. All those things can be fixed with mods or just a patch that will probably come within the following months. Story wise I'm liking it. Feels on par with s1. Performance wise, I've god a mid/upper mid tier machine and its fine. I'm getting around 100 fps. Towns/areas with lots of NPCs it drops for sure to about 40-60. I think the biggest issue people are upset about is that A-Life 2.0 isn't quite working as well as 1.0 did in stalker 1. Right now the experience is more like what you'd find in say Fallout. Where its a random encounter that spawns near your location. Its a disappointment for sure, but I wouldn't say its a dealbreaker for me personally. I'm still having fun with it. Its been interesting seeing the reception. Ignoring that some bad actors are paying for people to give the game a bad review, its been interesting seeing the criticisms and where they're sourced from. You have people who really want A-life and are upset with 2.0. You have people who like anomaly/gamma and wanted s2 to be more like those games. I think most people don't care about those things which is why the game has been able to maintain a 75% positive rating on steam.
does dlss upscaling + fsr framegen work correctly? sometimes when you use amd framegen it automatically switches to amd upscaling as well, which sucks
>>503327245Update is slated for December 3rd. If you have the 6.6.6.0 version of the launcher you should be able to use it to update to the newest version without needed to reinstall. The update will maybe probably break saves, IDK.
>>503327132I like the item variety honestly it makes it more fun to not loot the same bread, sausage, can food, and bandage a trillion times. See: Stalker 2. And anyone with an above lukewarm IQ can intuitively tell what almost all the items do with a brief glance at the item descriptions + there's a built in guide in the pda.
>>503326949Reddit started to like it and a there's still people on 4chan that think they have to be the opposite of Reddit at all times. Most of the dudes on here can't think for themselves so they just run with the groupthink.
>>503327342>6.6.6.0 version
I can't find the INI settings for increasing sprint duration/reducing its cost. ANy help bros?
>walk 900 km to turn in my story quest>cutscene lines appear>crashwhy am I even bothering
>>503327697ngl i havent pressed F5 this many times in a video game since my bethesda days
>>503326280in terms of polish and content it's really good. like others have said, the lack of truly random encounters like the original is a bit disappointing once you notice it. but there's still plenty of scripted and hand crafted encounters that it's enjoyable.i'll probably enjoy my first playthrough and then wait for them to patch up the a-life or wait for mods.>>503326653it's NOT as bad as vanilla clear sky be for real. your guns actually work in this.
>>503327227because every game for the last 5 years has been so absolutely dogshit that this is just good enough to be refreshing
>>503327745When it works it's not even funWhen it doesn't I have to recompile shaders
>>503327750yea that's about where I'm at. It's about a 7/10 standard FPS singleplayer game. With mods and patches I think it could become an 8.5. The non persistent spawns really piss me off because I reload and then they're just nowhere to be found from where they flanked me and my save is only 1-2 minutes ago, so that squad just appeared out of the ether. Gay!
>>503327750>in terms of polishAre you getting paid to write this? It's not polished at allThe only polish it has is it was made in the czech republic
>>503327227People like the metro games, this is basically that. A ton of stalker players only did the story missions and never even noticed the "alive" world.
>>503327892>with mods and patchesup in the air because of UE5. and the potential is heavily hobbled because of it doesn't actually have real a-life. I can only imagine they cut it because consoles couldn't support it and they wanted multiplatform for the launch day cash
I want co op
>>503327986I get that but they can leak the source code for modders to get around microsofts cuckoldry requiring same patches for consoles
>>503327968because "a-life" isn't actually that impressive and is far from being what made those games popular to begin with
greatsorry for exploring your open world i guess
Did they retcon The Zone's map or something?
>>503328098yeah i mean i definitely noticed some stalkers names but never really interacted with it. If they can just make the spawner system work at like 4x the range it does now and have it persistent for saves so it doesnt feel like they're just being spawned in by a dungeonmaster the game will feel great
>>503327950i mean the game looks nice, feels good and has nice gun animations. that's to be expected for a modern game though. i don't really have much to complain about aside from a few crashes.>>503327986wasn't there already a dev build leak some time ago? i wouldn't be surprised if top autists reverse engineered the game somehow.
>>503328143yes, they made it accurate to real life
>>503328020here you go, lil brohttps://ap-pro.ru/forums/topic/148-x-ray-multiplayer-extension-obt
Can you ever loot suits from dead stalkers or are they hand placed only?
>>503328257what is this
>>503328304Thanks big sis *french kisses you*Is it good? How finished is it? I cant read that
>>503328098a-life is what made the mods fun, which in turn saved STALKER from being forgotten garbage. next you'll say the faction system was pointless. Stalker 2 is just GSC trying to metro-ify the series
>>503328257>>503328357
>>503328357get paid for leaving bad review on S2's steam page
new anomaly just dropped.
>>503328418>>503328257>fake shit

>>503328418lollmao even
>>503328352i got a bandit suit once. out of like 100 bandits i've killed so far probably.
>>503328413I like that this general finally caved in and came to terms with the fact the games only popular because of mods.
>>503327750>in terms of polish it's really good>be for realYou first, you faggot shill.
>>503328469It's real, russia pays for this kind of shit all the time for all sorts of different things. They've had paid "influencers" before social media.
>>503328403>is it good?it's CoP with gunslinger weapons. do you like CoP?>How finished is it?you can get to the ending, but it's still in OBT so expect bugs (new non-vanilla ones)
>>503325726So what the hell happened wtih Leon Kennedinsky?
>>503328603how about you blow me nigger.
I have tried all the performance tweaks that exist, replaced dlss 3.7 with 3.8.10 and so on- engine.ini tweaks do bring some performance gains and lower the occurence of low 1%s- upgrading dlss to 3.8.10 might improve visuals slightly but has no performance gains- any fsr updates are a total washtldr as of today only engine.ini tweaks do anything for performancealso FIX YOUR SHIT PIGGERS it's such a shit feeling when you spend half the scouring the internet for possible performance gains instead of fucking playing the game on a midrange pc
>>503328469Yeah the 4g icon is a dead giveaway.>>503328513They're working on it but it'd be nice to get some stuff. They'll release the update roadmap some time in December.>>503328576I've been around since 2015 from time to time and I don't recall anyone here suggesting that I play it without some kind of mod or patch, except for CoP maybe.
how the actual fuck is multiplayer going to work? is it PVP? or what?
>>503328654Thank you
>>503328689don't worry anonI have a good PCyou are quite literally not missing out, just wait for them to "fix the game"
>>503328674That's a job for kalibrs, porkjeet.
>>503328750>you are quite literally not missing outhuh? i'm playing the fucking game, just trying to get moar framesoutside of performance and issues with ai spawns things are pretty good
>>503328576wouldn't be me, I was here way back when STALKER became popular on /v/ and even then we didn't touch it without a super early version of AMK.but anyone who thinks STALKER without a-life or a faction system is STALKER...is fucking wrong, and shame on GSC for removing them.
>>503328723It's the A-Life 2.0 we've been promised anon, you ARE the A-Life
I have yet to hear a song on the radio that wasnt fucking awful, and I say that as someone who is a self-admitted russophile and slavshit enjoyer who listens to nothing but slavshit music
>>503326949Because Gamma was literally marketed as Tarkov but single player for people too cheap and too bad at videogames to do well in Tarkov.It strayed too far into a different direction to the point it's barely Stalker. The gameplay loop is different, the tone is different(much more tacticool wank and human on human firefights than paranormal exploration), people who are fans of anomaly and gamma are secondaries in the utmost sense of the word, acting indifferent and even dismissive of the base games. The arrogance reached a peak when Grok himself was proselytizing to people about his mod to turn them away from playing the original games.
>>503328762talk like a white man, i can't understand your baboon babble.
>have to lead a guy from a bunch of anomalies>he doesn't follow your path>he walks right into themeh
>>503328969>you save him successfully>gives you some dogshit reward
>>503328854Is this a copy pasta? You sound unhinged
what was their fundamental plan for this game regarding A-Life?if you scope in from the broken train to slag heap (200 meters), the game can't even load slag heap properly because of obvious restraints, let alone the NPCs that are guarding that zone. it feels like A-Life could have never been a thing to begin with in such a large map, or at least in a sense that there really are things happening in the distance at all times.
are these fucking guns even in the game? I know the rest are, but I have yet to see these
>dream about huge seamless zone since Yavorski's fairytales>finally get it 20 years later>it's actually kinda bland and tedious to traverse
>>503328723I think so. In stalker 1 it was like this arena pvp mode. If its a coop pve experience, that would be both wild and surprising. I would personally love the coop pve version, but that would be a huge undertaking I'd imagine. I think they already confirmed that it will not be coop based, just a pvp arena shooter deathmatch deal?
>>503326949because instead of becoming the ideological heir of the call of chernobyl, they chose to become the heir of the call of misery cancertons of junk itemsdetailed armor and weapon maintenance with tons of items like lubricantsdirty grayish muddy visualnew generic ""creepy"" sfx of mutants and anomalies which sounds like ridiculous cheap movie about aliens or zombiesand... JUPITER OUTSKIRTS AMBIENT ON THE FUCKING ESCAPE))) anomaly developer is just a complete asshole whose heart and soul are simply incapable of understanding s.t.a.l.k.e.r. vibe at all.althought this can be easily cut out, but it is depressing that the developers initially spent time on this instead of directing it to improving the AI and alife, and also influenced the immature minds of western zoomers, which led to the creation of even more realistic addons that make the gameplay more and more tedious.
>>503329025>what was their fundamental planmake lots of moneyhype up the gamerelease bad metromake millions of moneyfire dev team a few months later and giggle away with millions
>>503329041thats depressing. co-op sounds way more fun.
>/sg/ is pro gamma nowwhen did this happen
>>503329Is the IWI Carmel and yeah its in the game, both the 9mm and ACR in your pic is the same gun
>>503329080Anything to shit on S2
>>503328952What's that? Want some nuts, pigger?
>>503329025they gave up on a-life 2.0 midway and instead chose this call of duty style spawn system. it's not really stalker if everyone just de-materializes when you're not around. I suspect consoles couldn't handle it.
Is Stalkers avoiding anomalies cool or is it boring?
>11 hours in>just realised you can break open ammo and health boxes>just realised it was artifacts not background radiation making me go yellow so quick
>>503329231the first time you find an anomaly it's coolbut then you quickly realize this is open world sloppa and they become annoying as fuck
>>503329015 he's correct
>>503329276I more meant AI avoiding anomoliesIm trying mods and one of them has an option for that
>>503329015big word = unhinged?
>>503329029
>>503329275Lessons we all had to learn
damn, Cordon really is stuffed with great shit
What's the consensus on Stalker 2?Good or shit?
>>503329456Shit STALKER game, great farcry/fallout4 mod
>>503329456Jackie chan you fucking nigger.
>>503329278>>503329330No, he just didn't make a point. Gamma bad because different and tarkov. Okay, well people don't install mods for it to be the same. And god knows normal people don't give a shit about some e-drama or being a "real" fan of a video game.
>>503329074Yeah there's been a few "MMORPGs" over the years that have tried to capitalize on the desire for a multiplayer verison of stalker. All came out of eastern EU I believe. I don't think any of them really took of. They still have some populations, but not huge ones. They all heavily involve PvP though. There's been more in the past 20 years but I think these are the three that are still "alive". Pretty much every type of "multiplayer stalker" game has heavily involved PvP. Probably why they keep failing. I think Stalcraft X has been able to keep a population because even with a shit machine, its easy to run (graphics look like minecraft). I think its also fairly fast paced. I didn't play will to live too much, I played anomaly zone for like 100 hours. You do a lot of walking in anomaly zone haha. Things take awhile to do anything. I think stalcraft heavily reduced this time which helped lend to its success.
>>503329456HOT KAKA
>>503328613Original image has aктивнicиь in top bar and account is named ivan belgorod, its fake
>>503329456- lacks a-life- lacks faction system- lacks binoculars (because of no a-life)- lacks nightvision (cuz dunno)- is on UE5 so modding future is up in the airif you wanted more of a metro experience, you might like it
NOOOOOOOOOO LET ME GO TO DARKSCAPE
how does one use the 9x39 guns in this game? the ammo isn't that common 30+ hours in, and its expensive as fuck to buy.I have 350 rounds of the shit that took me 30 hours of not using 9x39 to accrue, and two of the guns, but I cant imagine that will last me very long.
>>503329528wasn't there some decently high budget stalker clone coming out that had co-op? i forgot its name but it looked kinda alien.
>>503329456I'm having fun. It it more faithful than I was expecting, but its technical problems are pretty hard to ignore sometimes.
>>503329041WHERE DID YOU GET THAT DETECTOR ANON inb4 stole it from a guy's stash you were supposed to deliver vodka>>503329661Cut content prease understandu
>>503329449>5% durability, 50k coupons to repairwow great loot!
HOLY SHIT I NEED A MOBILITY SCOOTER RIGHT FUCKING NOW
>>503329790you get one as a quest reward. you also get an even better one shortly before you get the worse one if you explore a bit in obvious areas.
>>503329648Does it actually lack faction system? Because a hint in the loading screen said to "talk to the faction boss to get rid of problems with their people"
>>503329687if it's hard to use, it's shit periodeconomy is messed up
they made an FPS without smoke grenades or flash bangs? in 2024?
What the fuck? First gun I've ever seen that says its durability on the groundWhy is this not applied across the game?>>503329802Actually it was 60% durability
>>503329712Yeah it's called blue-edge or something. But it's actually still pvp just 3v3v3 to find the anomaly first.
>>503329527nah, he was correct
>>503329896I've been using 9mm and 9x18 this whole game because it still kills shit dead with one headshot and its fucking everywhere
>>503329954>60% durabilitygenuienly do not believe youanything on the ground has at least been yellow
my save is bricked i think, loading into the game just freezes
>>503329998
>>503329954it only shows durability if it's red, done that for me several times though so you probably just never noticed.
>>503329998mods?
What does the Gear on armor and weapons mean? I thought it meant it had attachments but thats not the case
GAMMA bros...we won....
>>503330107there are mods that arent attachments
>>503328854>Because Gamma was literally marketed as Tarkov but single player>too retarded to just use single player tarkov mod
>>503330142There werent any visible mods on the gear upgrade menu either like at merchants
>>503329029Ukrainian 5.56 rifle.
>>503329712Not sure high quality. Its still under wraps. But I think its called Pioneer. From an RU developer I think? I'm waiting to see somegameplay about it. The little information I've seen, almost sounds like its going to be lobby based like destiny missions.>>503329790Briefcase quest for the Sultan. Near the objective you need to pick up. Also a free bandit marauder chest armor where the captains wheel would be at.
As goodwill, the devs ought to offer Steam refunds (beyond the 2 hours played) at least. There is no way they are going to be able to implement the pillar of what makes a Stalker game, it just does not seem possible with UE5 and with already how performance constrained the CPU is even as basic as it is now. Without A-Life, I have no interest in this game, there is just an overwhelming sense of fakeness in everything that you do outside of just the railroaded quests. The Zone just sits still waiting for the player to activate another quest to run, there is no emergent gameplay or scenarios to be had.
finally got a sniper scope, spending sometime using it to check around the forest so i don't get ganks but i dont ever find anything. no dogs nothing even though i seem to run into dogs alot.
>>503330050No way dude, I've picked up tons of guns off the ground just to find out theyre red
Isn't this the factory in North-East Yanov where you climb up and drop down floors to pick up tools and items for Nitro?>>503329870I think I've explored most areas but unfortunately haven't come across one. I'm doing not-Zaton now but haven't been to Cordon even though it's real close so I'm headed there now.

>>503330204CZ Bren? looks ugly
>>503320906>>503330204They spawn later in the game.
>>503330232>The Zone just sits still waiting for the player to activate another quest to run, there is no emergent gameplay or scenarios to be hadexactly, S2 is basically a theme-park version of the zone.
>>503330241The spawning system is acting all funky so that things aren't spawning from far away. Only static spawns in things like locations you can reliable snipe.
>>503330232post your copy
How reliable are the random stashes in this game? I want to create some supply checkpoints I don't want to walk like a snail carrying lots of weapons everytime I travel, but at the same time I also have Starfield PTSD where stashed items got bugged and disappeared.
>>503330241no point in scopes or binos in this gametheres literally nothing to zoom in on
>>503330346you really think i havent played the game yet?
>>503330314Nevermind. Thought it was the Malyuk, but it's not. Also it's not the CZ bren either.
>>503330275i haven't been to cordon yet either and I have the third scanner thing you can get. I cant even remember where I got it now otherwise I'd tell you

Cordon spoiler was this a-life fucking me over by spawning 15 dudes behind me when I got down from this ladder? it seemed like the guy was about to knock me out in a cutscene but I blasted him before he could
>>503330792yeah there really isn't enough AI in this game to warrant the frame drops>>503330232meh, AI sucks yes but otherwise the game is well worth $60 considering how much sheer content is in itA life was not why I played stalker soc for the first time, but its definitely a big part of why I come back to it. this game might not have free roam replay ability at launch, but neither did the original stalker eitherI think its only a matter of time before A life gets ported into stalker 2
>>503330860>>503330945>>503330817i told you guys what it is here>>503329342
>>503330956forgot pic like a fucking retard
Loving it so farMan it's a LONG main campaign, 25 hours and still going, and this is like autism tier optimized gameplay to try and finish it as soon as possible So many cool locations, stories and atmosphereic feels. it's a vibe for sure.
>>503330840this exactly why there is no binoculars at all in the game, which is a biggest scam compared to anything else wrong with this game
Curious what the actual behind the scenes situation with Alife isDid no one know how to actually do it?Did they try it and failed?Did it work but not on consoles?Is it actually in the game and just fucked?
>>503331017same but scripted spawns and fake a-life ruining it for me
>>503331007Two heeb ARs in the game. Hmmm...
>>503331068Tracking everything in the fuckhuge map would take too many cpu cycles by the looks of it.Yes consoles probably do have a hand in this.
>>503331068microsoft probably kneecapped the shit out of it and wouldn't pay GSC big money to put it on gamepass if it didn't run on their shitty console
>>503329905at least frags are insanely common, that makes up for it right? right?
>>503331007If you wanted people to read that shit, maybe don't use green brush on a green background
>>503331137nigger stalker anomaly and gamma have way more AI tracking and they barely blip the CPU, I can spawn like 20 squads in warfare mode before I get frame dipsmeanwhile in stalker 2 I walk into town and my framerate drops by half all from static scriped fixed place NPCs that dont go anywhere...
>>503331110They make a lot of gun with cool looking shapes.
so what do I do with broken guns? will they despawn eventually or should I stick them into a corpse?
>>503331007>another israeli gun
>>503331068IDK why they didn't do it, it's just nodes and a glorified spreadsheet. It'd take time to make, but it shouldn't have that much processing overhead.It's definitely not in the game at all though. Every mention of A-Life in the configs points to a fallout 4 style random event spawner instead.
>>503331269leave them on the fucking ground
>>503331271Theres been at least 1 jew gun in STALKER at all times
>>503331269stick them in a corpse before they brick your save by making performance shittier
>>503331250Well I mean run S2 on 2039 hardware and see what frames you get.Comparisons to old shit don't mean a lot. S2 is unoptimised as fuck and compromises were clearly made to get it running on this little shitbox.
>>503331269horde them and sell them to the guy at Rostok who buys used guns and ignore this retard>>503331358
>>503331269Pretty sure you can actually sell broken shit in Rostok, that or I'm hallucinating again. Too many great swamp fumes(That place still fuckin sucks)
I wish you could get some brief information about the NPCs you're interacting with like in the old games. Such as moving your cursor over them to get the names and their affiliation or their disposition towards you, or when you're looting their bodies. I fought some guys but I don't know if they're bandits or some other faction.I suppose that requires a reputation system, which I believe to be part of the A-Life system that this game lacks. The game's been out for only three days and I'm already itching for an "Enhanced" edition with tons of QoL fixes, balancing and A-Life brought back in.
>the greatest trick that faggot on Day 1 ever pulled was convincing anons you couldn't sell broken guns
>>503331384There's no way the price to weight ratio is worth lugging that shit around
https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/113?tab=description good mod
>>503331383no, youre just a retard who doesn't understand how computers and AI worksthere is literally nothing that stopped them from implementing A-Life, the graphics load from the better NPCs doesnt magically make the AI hard to do. learn to code you pleb

poppy field gave me a headache
>>503331421>a-life brought back inheheheheHAHAHHAmaybe in stalker 3
>>503331491it is dude, if you have spare space I promise it is. I constantly horde broken guns, you get only a little bit less than if its yellow.I put all broken guns in my stash and when I go to rostok I sell them all, usually nets me like 40,000 coupons

>>503331384>>503331564>>503331723it's hoard you fucking inbred esl shitstainHOARDnot HORDE
This area in the Pol Depot has a bug, once you cross the tires you randomly get weapons, in the red but still good weapons. They just appear in your inventory out of nowhere, even got one in my active weapon slot lol.
post mods>>503331918for the horde
why the fuck are stalkers randomly attacking me
>>503331918quit hordeing my posts
kinda ironic that a community whose mantra is "noooooo you have to play through the games vanilla before modding them!!!" are already throwing mods into S2
>>503331963All of the red guns I got from this area + the shotgun in the prev pic.
>>503332036People say you should play it with light mods first like AMK and not something like misery first, which is valid. Vanilla stalker sucks ass.
>>503332036>ha ha dood every one in da community literally just da same single person dood he hekys
>>503332036I wasn't having a good time with mutants that were unnecessarily tanky or weapons that degraded at ridiculously stupid speeds.Or my shaders having to be compiled just because I felt like playing the game more than once.
>>503332036community? this is my first STALKER game and I don't even know you
>>503332036you will not find a single soul on earth who advocates playing SoC unpatched Until the game is, mods are your only option
>>503332281Patches aren't mods.None of the mods fix issues, just make the game easier for you lazy fucks.So don't give me that bullshit.
>>503332331cope, seethe, and putin will die before he takes ukraine
>>503331619I physically cringe when I hear an npc say coupons why did they pick such a fucking stupid name
>>503332359Weird damage control but ok. It's always funny seeing you getting called out and instantly having a meltdown.
Had a weird audio bug? where someone kept screaming,"No, Please!" in faint whisper repeatedly for over 20 minutes and the source followed me continually, was really creepy, i thought it was some type of mutant? maybe it was intentional? Heard it in the red forest only, spooky
>>503332368https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_karbovanetsPart of the purge of explicitly russian stuff
>>503332331>make the game easierHuh? Vanilla stalker is insanely easy, every big modpack tries to make the gameplay more "hardcore" or whatever
why does the aks-74 not one shot headshot random bandits who aren't even wearing helmets?
>>503332568why not just use the hryvnia at that pointor eurosor usd
>these steam branch namesWhat the fuck is this?
>>503332659Yeah, shekels would have worked just fine.
>>503326280i love it. i love it when the stalkerisms kick in like finding the stashes or the enemies approach my last known location and im flanking them
>>503332636I'm clearly talking about Stalker 2 and your economy and -% mutant HP mods.
>>503332692Yeah, they still have "crypro" listed in a lot of configs too.
>>503332835The Gunslinger-tier mutant hp is probably the mod I'd most consider right now
>>503331421This, and also PDA entries about mutants, anomalies, artifacts, locations etc. PDA already has a "tutorial" section so it's mind boggling didn't they utilize it properly. Instead you find shit like "use WASD keys to move!"
>>503332874Doesn't their TOS when booting up the game state that they can't guarantee that the game files do not contain viruses? This is a bit concerning desu.
>>503333040you'd be deeply concerned if you bothered reading any eula
>>503332659It was Hryvnia at some point, in one of the early trailers they used a ₴ sing for money.No idea why they changed it.
>>503333206gonna guess microsoft meddlingavg player would be confused what a hryvnia was
DAMN SON IT'S LIKE I'M BACK TO 2014 which is when I first played SoC
>>503331269Mod the game so you can sell them to anyone and then carry on
im done, i uninstalledhad enough of bandits spawning behind my back while all my shit is broken because of these retarded repair prices
>>503328418>>503328257S.T.A.L.K.E.R. ??
I hate the monstersyou dont even get anything for killing them
>>503333720I dont understand why you dont. It seems like such a stupid decision to remove the loot ideas that ALREADY EXISTED!!!!!!!
>>503333720>>503333790Mutant hunter faction expansion. Mark my words.
WHERE ARE THE ANTIRAD ARTIFACTS AHHHHHHHHH
Is there an TC like anomaly but with no autism?I beat it, i just got my exo and am officialy done with it. Now i just want og stalker with all its maps and stories in one game. Any ideas? I checked out old world but its for 1.5.2 and im on 1.5.3
>>503333962I grabbed so many random ones with weak protection. Just keep picking them up
>>503333418Eh there's a mod for prices alreadyBut the zone being totally dead apart from bullshit spawns really kills it
This anomaly jumpscared the shit out of me, didnt figure thered be an upgrade from the normal flame anomaly
is there any way to speed up the eye adaptation rate?
>>503327102the stash was raided before you got there
>>503334198yeah that got me too
>>503331068consoles have ruined video games
>>503329456The devs are straight-up in their bag with this game, no cap. They’re cooking up some heat, and it’s giving certified W vibes. Fr fr, they’re not missing a beat, and this game is about to slap harder than anything we’ve seen in a minute. Peak grindset energy from the squad—can't wait to tap in and vibe with the finished product.
NO NEW BREAD?!
>>503331963i legitimately think you have schizophrenia or some shit, i have never seen this happen
>>503334380Nah man that shit is a problem in all these gay ass global illumination games.
>>503335201I dont know if he is right about the triggerBut there is totally something going on with random weapons appearing in your inventory, many people are reporting it.
>>503331532sounds like you need a nap
>>503334006Ther is no mod other than Abobaly Anthology with all vanilla stories + mod stories. I can recommend IWP with CotZ port, If you want a freeplay mod without stupid bullshit
ooo a penny the recreation of original bad endings is so fucking cool
mask overlay mod when
>>503336068you could just tape over a third of your monitor right now if you really wanted this
>>503329648>lacks nightvisionHas anyone actually found all the headgear/scopes in the game to confirm this?
>>503334006Try to install it anyway, some 1.5.2 mods work on 1.5.3
>>503331968which of those optimization mods actually work?
>that phase of the game where you are very noob so you don't know which sounds at night are creepy ambience and which are actual mutants in the area
https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/100?tab=descriptionGood mod, actually makes stealth viable
>Drop gun before placing the final scanner>Come back>Free (FREE) green AK>Profit
I think controller fights suck
>>503331362Yeah and it was the one of the two Jew guns that everyone loved for being unique and in every piece of popular media for decades. Not a generic bullpup rifle that no one even heard about.
>>503336867use a mouse and keyboard lol
does the a life mod actually do anything?
>kill a group of four bandits after dealing with the mastiff quest>here's five more>now another five more>I've now killed twenty bandits in the span of ten minutes on my way back to townGive me a fucking break already.
this, this is perfect.just wish Alife wasn't so absolutely fucking jacked
yo how the fuck do i select the grenade launcher? i changed a bunch of my keybinds earlier the in game and now i cant figure out which one the GL is connected to. selecting the gl from the quick wheel doesnt work either skif just tries to change his ammo type when i do.
>>503337324fire mode selector maybe?
Fighting anybody out in the open forest is a genuine fucking nightmare. Every industrial area feels like a proper shootout, but god forbid you start getting shot at in any place with a bunch of fucking trees, god it sucks. How are all these motherfuckers aiming and sighting me perfectly through layers and layers of foliage? Fuck you, you cheating binky bonky cheeki breeki cunts.
>>503337415tried it and it doesnt work, do you know the default bind by any chance? its not listed in keybinds
Shell my belovedFinally realized you can easily get through electro anomalies by discharging them with bolts>>503337526thankfully theres already mods for that
>>503337526Yeah they're a bit too accurate at range with shitty guns like mac 10s. Clear Sky levels of granata spam too
>>503337526every fucking game with fights in forested areas does it too. can't think of a game with a lot of foliage yet where you fight and it feels goodprobably because it feels like shit in real life too nobody can see shit
>install a super spawn mod to make the Zone more alive>thought it would be funny>game spawned 3 Krovosovs on top of me
>>503337565Bad Dragon: Zone Edition
>>503337125>Grok
poorfag-anons, rejoice!it's playable on a GTX1060!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMI-LLDO88Q
>>503337628>>503337526use the less grenades thrown mod and realistic grenades mod. Makes them thrown less but twice the damage and radius
>>503337324You can select it via the radial menu. I assume there's also an unlisted keybind for it somewhere, similar to middle-mouse for the torch, but I'm not sure what it is.
>>503337839does not run with 20 fps on my 2060 on medium settings
>>503338097>>503337324Oh, I didn't read the>selecting the gl from the quick wheelpart.Try resetting the keybinds to defaults and then try to select it with the default key in the wheel. If it works, you can then change all the keybinds back to your liking, but this time don't change the GL key.
isnt it kind of retarded NOT to compare stalker 2 to mods when they're the only thing thats been keeping the series alive since 2009?
Where'd my MP10 go
>>503338394>you see ivan...
>>503338394you see ivan,
how the fuck has someone not made a flashlight mod yet? that fucking blows my mind
>>503338557>flashlight modwhat do you mean by this
>>503338608a brighter flashlight, a flashlight that doesn't suck assidk, could be a number of things. the fact not one has been made to address how dogshit it is is wild
What anomaly is this?
New thread when?
>>503338394
>>503336302followed a guide and updated to 153. Having a blast so far>>503335987thanks for the recomendations
>this fucking bloodsucker in a cavernAm I just not aiming correctly or what? I can barely survive a single one on medium difficulty
>>503339059They run on all fours, you have to aim low.
>>503339059It's best to shotgun and run shotgun and run and use chokes like hallways to funnel them into line of sightDon't just stand there and take it
What's the easiest way to get a magazine fed shotgun? I accidentally sold the one you get up on the crane in the storyline mission and the reload on the regular Crackers is painful.
>>503339059wait for them to run at you, fire and then straferepeat until dead
behold, bread!
>>503339428that is clearly "bread"
>conclude business at Poppy Fields>trekking back to base when Bloodsucker ambush>not surviving this with my shitty sawed off and low ammo AK74su>flee like a bitch back into Pomor's shack>apparently suckers can't open doors>stay inside until daylight>get bright idea to go north, then west and south along the whole river bank around poppy fields keeping it between me and bloodsucker>emerge south of poppy fields far away from the first ambush site>a couple of bodies lie near the water>check em out>SECOND bloodsucker ambushits not fair bros... I ended up running back into poppy field, get transported somewhere random, and then sneaking through the woods almost the whole way back to base, that worked

>>503341647oooh, look at that slightly swirly bokehlooks niceI wonder what that was shot with
>>503341647Why do modern guns have to look so fucking stupid
>>503341739the way he holds it is even worse, look at his left handit's really triggering
>>503341647>Trigger (huehuehue) finger directly underneath the barrelWhat tactical advantage does doing that give you?
>>503337324Hold the fire selector key. Pressing it switches the fire type, holding selects the underbarrel attachment.
>>503302357Well it's 2021, The Zone is now full of trannies
>>503295569Just before I started playing the game, everyone was talking about how fucked this game was, I haven't had any big issues, I had more problems running A.R.E.A. without translation than with this game.You fags exagerate so much, you look like despondent women>Game looks amazing, some visual bugs here and there tho, like anomaly's hints dissapearing>Game set in ultra (epic) with a little bit stuttering only.
how long did it take you guys to compile shaders on the first game start?looking like 25 minutes here...does this really work?https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/97
>>503346469Yeah it's doing the same shit with me, easily 5 to 8 minutes compiling shaders, honestly it's something that should happen once in a game's lifetime.
>>503346604REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
