Okay cheap detectors fail this anomaly completely and it fucks you up real fast. Kind of like a supernova explosion.
Ok lets see what the big deal with GAMMA is while i wait for S2 patchesI chose Merc cus i wanna kill people and get paid for it
>make massive empty map>dont add any transportation or fast travelthis sucks
Why is armor repair the #1 expenseIRL armor will probably cost less than ammunition for infantry
>>503508524тaк нe cмeшнo жe!
I know the two aren't trying to be even remotely the same type of game, but I can't help thinking about how much more exciting looting in Tarkov is every time I am out exploring in S2. My interest in exploration has really waned after realizing there is literally nothing to find but sausages, stale bread, and ammo in every single spot. There's no dopamine hit or excitement of finding a big piece of loot. Even looting the stashes doesn't feel good, it's just more bread and bandages and vodka. It's the same shit everywhere, and none of it feels valuable. I have like 100 bandages in my stash in Zassiya and enough food to feed the whole zone. I wish they added more salvage you could loot and sell that was flavorful and cool and worth a bit of money.

>>503508597It's not that kind of anomaly. Don't stand still just do what you went there to do.
>>503508524the language changes every time I change a setting it seems... re-enabled from the manager, change some graphics settings, again
>>503508753you need rape correction
>>503508152>Official AVSV mod release never ever>>503508406Go into options and change it to English.
This shit is so ass.
Guys I'm 34 haven't got alot going on in life for the past few years since covid, I was hoping for the shit to be atleast mediocre but no it's fundamental shit teir am I the only one here to stop coping and admit it's awful, I still play it pirated tho nothing else to play really
>>503508753You can sometimes find nice guns and armor if you are really lucky, otherwise you'll get some antirads then swarmed by a biblical plague of enemies spawned just behind you because the AI hates exploration
they should rework repair prices to be weightedgreen repair = cheapyellow repair = 75% of the price that it is currentlyred repair = same as current pricesI'm tired of paying 1k plus tip for every fucking hit I take in a SEVA suit
so campfires not casting shadows was just another lie i read on here
Found this weird anomaly with these really cool ringing voices. Then I realized I was bleeding like a fountain and went through a dozen of bandages to stop the bleeding. They were like glass or quartz shards hanging mid-air.
>>503508406>>503508858I think it's a bug. go to gameplay, localization and change it to english in the options menu
>>503508871>Go into options and change it to English.ah okay found it thanks for the help bros, seems goodis there anyway to make the text on the left of the screen smaller? its huge maybe an optional mod or smth? not sure

>>503509269>>503509459You can turn healthbars in the options. Not sure about font, maybe a font mod would work but I'm not 100% on that. I just use what it came with

*whistle*Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
>>503509269>>503509459You could try the 4K Font addon from the optional folder, it might make it smaller. HP bars can be disabled in the options, check them out what you can turn on/off
how do i get out of this dialogue
Brothers, last thread I heard some people talking about quests that can brick the game.Can anyone tell me what the problematic quests/NPCs are so that I can avoid them for the time being?

>>503510206I think what you have to do to get it back to the original font is replace 4k folder in gamedata > textures > ui with the original one in the archive
>>503510272tried some anomaly 1440p fonts mod, it did nothing, still hugesurely I won't have to reinstall the whole mod over this...

Thats why I recommended MO2, it won't fuck your installation up>>503510685You can check the files that the font mods used and just replace them with those from the vanilla installation, without "reinstalling" the whole mod
>>503510626any gravitational anomalies
>>503510652>I use a Hilka to detect and until I'm 40 or so meters away then switch to Bear to locateThanks switching sounds smart. I will maybe keep all upper class detectors based on your recommendation. They are light enough to always have with me. Cheers friend!
>>503510685larger resolution fonts make the font larger, so going up to like 4k or 1440p or whatever larger number will just make it bigger. you can try looking around for fonts that are made for 1080p, they should be smaller. also no, try this:>>503510682

>>503511492no you see, MY balance tweaks good, OTHER balance tweaks bad
Has anyone else noticed non-lethal anomalies? I really like additions like this as world building to this setting, since the Zone is constantly expanding, spawning more and more anomalies, but not just dangerous or life threatening ones, but stuff like this.
>"How do you like your artifact, senpai?">"Just place it in the middle of a crevice that's nearly impossible to spot and have a fire anomaly right on top of it."
>>503511812Yooo did you find it in this location?! Got nothing in that anomaly field.
>>503511812Ok obviously the dangerous ones are some of the coolest looking, like this lava vomit anomaly, easy to avoid if you know how.
i wonder what happened to nitro and cardan
>>503511298oh
>There are more Elk Mutants Kind of cool desu
>>503511349i don't need a guide to do that i want fast travel
is there a 'you killed the guy' noise? is that what that splorch sound is?
>>503512012>>503511812Oh wow, can you post the effects please as screen?
Lex the Legend sound like a badass, he went to the Center of the Zone with Strelok himself!
>>503512284splorch sound is headshots
These see-through SEVA helms are so goofy and stupid.
>>503512284look for x on minimap
>>503511591I googled around font shit, everyone has issues where its too small, never too big, fuck
How do I get up there? There's a lot of anomalies around so I'm guessing there's some sort of puzzle or one of those jumpy ones somewhere.
They even captured the masculine slavic urge to climb tall, dangerous places
>>503511481guns, 8k grass and other graphics bloat that all run on your core 0, meanwhile the game still looks worse than buildo mods

>this fucking item stat systemwhat's the deal with this consoleslop shit? why not just use numbers like every previous game did instead of le minimal/maximal scheme?
>>503512284Yeah that's your "headshot" hitmarker.Instead of a visual X in the middle of the screen, it plays that to imply you just domed someone.I kinda prefer it to the visual version, it's more immersive to HEAR you landed that shot than see a big "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, BRAIN REMOVE" visual.That said, I'm starting to get a bit annoyed by it now.
>>503512778Rostok portal
>download the modified engine.ini posted here>game now runs buttery smoothlmao what the fuck
I'm waiting for devs and modders to fix STALKER 2. In the mean time I'm considering playing anomaly as I've only played the vanilla games. Wot you guys think?
>So I said, "you can tell it's a female bloodsucker cause it sucks cock instead!">"hyuck hyuck hyck, haw haw haw"
>>503508940Noob loser
>>503512565I don't mind them. They kinda grew on me since True Stalker. Also, you can always edit the shader of the glas to make it opaque
>>503512870Such is life in the zone.Some days you find mystical artifact and make many money.Some days zone say "fuck this guy in particular" and you dead.
>>503513031without framegen shit? does it make the game look bad?
did you give it back?
I really wish there was a way to tell if weapons were in red condition or not before you pick them up from the ground. It's really irritating scavenging them to sell and having to constantly open and check your inventory and right click drop things.
>>503513110Consider playng Valley of Whispers or any story mod instead
>>503513196yes :(I didn't notice it was a unique. i just saw it was broken, stole the ammo, and gave it back
How the fuck do you shoot at this thing?
>>503512870Keked
>>503513153this guy is about to blow his brains out
>>503512870(dies)
heresy
>>503512870nooooooo vovaaa
>looks through a stash>game legit spawns a bloodsucker on top of mecool
>>503513110Personally, I'm waiting to get off work in two days so I can finish 2, then I'll likely fuck around with CoP co-op with my room m8.If you're gonna do an anomaly run, remember, bandit is the only faction that maters and everyone is only as valuable as the equipment they're carrying.Also remember to poke with the settings for a bit, tweaking the game to your preference is kinda required for anomaly.
>>503512035>>503511812>>503512290Artifact is Stone Heart. It's shit, but looks pretty.
>>503513631But I thought everyone liked emergent gameplay? :^)
>>503513121What's that pic from?

>cant drive vehicles>Cant fly helicopter >No co-opGame sucks
>>503513639Useful enough to sprint when hauling loot, I'd keep it not only because it looks cool, which indeed it does.
>>503512870lost to the zone......
sometimes it fucking works bros.i just got ambushed while leaving the pig farm in cordon and hte bandits were relatively far, it felt natural. like they hid under the bridge and waiting until I passed to start shooting me in the back. but of course just knowing the game spawned them right there cause the timer passed and the dice rolled ruins it. still, a cool moment
>>503513970>ragmantarkov crossover ?
>>503512849>>503513354No offence but I just wanna say fuck crosshair users, people who use crosshair in a game like this are fucking lunatics, how the fuck does that not ruin your immersion?

Is there any reason to loot broken weapons
>>503513171I use the framegen, I think the game looks alright I can play on high now without it eating all of my ram like an insatiable whore
>>503514340If you really wanted the gun you can repair it. Not really worth it though. Just unload them and drop it
do i even need a new suit
>>503513776just AI slop
>>503511591>>503512741so these are the font files for IWP standalone, if anyone has any ideas lmk if not I"ll just get used to the bigger fonts, its just a bit bigger than normal for me thats all iwp is built ontop of call of chernobyl, right?

OH NO NO NO PIDORS HAHAHHAHA
Did they just forget to put fast travel guides in half of the maps lol?Literally only reason I have been following the main quest right now if because I made it to New Skadovsk and now I'm too far out to turn back without it taking like an hour IRL time to backtrack.

>get to bandit camp in the garbage>there's almost no banditsBit disappointing, that segment has always been my metric for how good the shooting in any given mod is.
>>503515081At first I honestly thought it was a new kind of anomaly and went around a bunch of huts in a village searching for it, after a while I realized it's just yet another bug...

>>503514986AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOGAdon't care if thats a man, ukranian femboys are prime, I follow one on onlyfans
lighting bro are you still here? i found the fix with the mod, you have to turn ray reconstruction off, and press confirm. exit back to the game and the crazy rays are gone. the settings will say ray reconstruction is on even though you chose off.

>>503515563Yeah but fighting through the actual building is where all the fun is, going floor by floor and switching between a shotgun and an AK with a launcher while they all come at you from the various rooms or go around to flank you is some of the best gunfight fun I had in something like OGSR.Maybe I need to start from the other end since the bandit boss spawns in the hangar now.
I sure love the Ukrainian weather variety of Sunny and Thunderstorm. How about some normal fucking rain?

>>503508618I'm enjoying it
Ok, fuck this. Bloodsuckers are way too fucking obnoxious in this game. I've had one chase me practically from one area to another. The worse part? I thought it was a single Blookdsucker but it turned out to be 3 fucking Bloodsuckers chasing me.They can fix the shitty balancing by tweaking numbers but there's no fucking way they can change the spawning and AI where they just spawn mutants on top of you.

>>503514982It completely fucks with the intended methods of parkouring to find hidden stashes and rooms, and makes it way too easy to just casually climb up onto things that are supposed to take a bit more effort to get to.Other than that, nothing.I wouldn't use it personally because doing the jank parkour to find hidden stashes (which are almost always worth it if they are hidden behind the jank parkour) has genuinely been one of my favorite parts of playing the game in its current state so far.

how long do traders take to reset?
>>503517685cool opinion bro
>>503517480If by oldfags you mean anyone born before the Xbox 360. Old school jumpan is way more fun than gay asscreed "parkour".Shit it's fucking depressing to think there's kids whining about this game who literally will have been learning to walk when we were playing SHoC
what the fuck is a buildo mod
how do I get there?
what do?
>>503517838>Grabbing onto the ledge of a roof and pulling yourself up is now asscreed parkourI am starting to think some of you are genuinely stupid

>>503517724>the zone IS alive>*random stalker appears behin you*yeah..
>>503517685gameplay is actually incredible you retard who didnt play the game
>>503517815Alife is objectively not in the game. The physics are crap compared to the trilogy. Mutant armor is way too high. Veteran lowering your damage is gimmicky and stupid, worst way to implement difficulty. Enemies spawning on top of you is not good at all.
>>503516676?that isn't bloat
>>503511492>>503511682That's always the way with these pricks. They just want to be queen bee.I knew Stalker modding was about to jump the shark when people started licking this discord faggot's asshole, I was in the Elder Scrolls scene long enough to know how unbearable shit gets when people start dickriding fucking modders.His mods fucking suck. He's the last person to be bitching about this.

GAMMA is better than Stalker 2 ukraine lost
Can you complete the game easily at this stage, or do bugs and repair costs fuck up your experience the more you play?
>>503518021keep it fucker doesnt even give youu coupons or say thanks
>>503518021he trusted you bro...but that underbarrel 'nade launcher is SO good against burers and controllers.....BUT he trusted you...
>friend of mine got a series x only for stalker because pc prices are ultra expensive here he caved in and the zone got him.....
Who does this dumbfuck think he is fooling?>fat>earring>faggot haircutI know ukraine is desperate for fighting men but the closest this fat faggot has ever gotten to a battlefield is playing an EA game. It's obvious the game is so shit because all the real men went to war while cowardly faggots like this fled the country. Little faggot probably has a degree in gender studies rather than computer science..
how long until they fix the dogshit performance at trader hubs?
>>503518432Let's just say the new Zone is a much more accepting place.

>>503516937> intended methods of parkouringOf which there aren't any. Right now it's "find the singular method of traversing vertically that doesn't block you because the obstacle is taller than your waist.If a stash required "parkour" in the game right now it's not a difficult stash to get to and just requires you to look around. While this makes sense and allows you to climb things you should very obviously be able to climb.

If I could somehow get old world without the old weapon models and animations I would be a happy camper, base anomaly's weapons are much better especially with MPAA
I think water is better than energy drinkswater seems to have a better stamina regen compared to energy drink giving more stamina returned, but even if the better stamina regen is only imagined, the fact that water restores hunger rather than starving you makes it superior for long runsspamming energy drinks also requires spamming food every few drinks
>>503519124Its one thing to run away from a war in your own country and refuse to fight in it. But its another to pretend you you didn't run away and are fighting in it.>>503519149faggot. lucky for you so is he.

Why the fuck are all the goddamn pathways and sidewalks just littered with wind anomalies? Clean this shit up, mother nature, you fucking dumb whore.
Honest question, why is this game butthurting so many vatniks?I haven't left the lesser zone so perhaps that'll change but so far I haven't seen any anti-russian propaganda, or perhaps there has been some but my dumb western brain couldn't really see it.Still, I find it so strange that in the middle of a war they're wasting their precious time hating on a fucking videogame of all things.

>>503521361Yeah the mod page is pure schizo kino.
>>503520946I do. It's a very solid foundation taht fixes a lot of the core issues of vanilla, the only thing better right now would be to do your own mod pack.
>>503520446So it's probably true the devs turned it off on purpose because they couldn't make it perform?
>>503521072it changes way more than that, but its not alternative story shit
>>503521668It's looking interesting because it addresses a bunch of issues in one go without me having to go looking for all the separate mods

>>503520446I merged his changes into my personal monolith of a .pak, lets see how this goes
>>503521626shill
>>503521717Anon read the fucking mod page. This mod doesn't turn A-Life "on". It's just the same system as the one in game but tweaked and ramped up so the spawns aren't retarded. It's still all randomly generated shit.The only evidence of A-Life as we know (with saved entities that pop up when you're in range and keep their loot and take things etc) is in game files that aren't in use in the release version and there's no telling how long ago they abandoned it.

I personally am installing the schizo a life mod.
>>503521983Ya he seems to say "well A-life was always an illusion so this is fine" but I want the persistance, and the illusion of such. I know I'm spoiled by mods but I feel like that's okay for me to want.
anons saying its schizo are brainlets
>>503521361>the AI Director. Or Her.It's over for this community
>>503522409This dude is dangerously close to creating a Stalker 2 Ai Director tulpa.
>>503522321Is that in Rostok?
>>503522513its just ESL babble, prob makes sense in his lang
really hate how enemies never miss.
>anons installing a mod spawned out of an unknown anomaly from the center of the zonegood luck stalkers

>>503520446testing it, because the other A-Life mod is broken anyway
>>503510272>>503519441it never started, fool
>>503522791The AI is basing this conclusion off of the schizo dev who thinks random gen could be as good as permanent entities that actually move around.it's understanding is inherently flawed and you as a human with a brain should know better.I don't think anyone is under the llusion that whats in the game is "A-Life", in fact the whole controversy is because the majority figured out that it just isn't in the game straight away
>>503522791AI is immune to the rare anomaly called autism.
>>503522392Oooh, alright thank you anonI'll try it
there really doesnt seem to be much reason to go get alot of the stashes since its always the same items, ammo and broken weapons. the rare stash that has armor or weapons is usually trash anyway though.
>>503522614also a brainlet take. he's just shitposting using flowery poetic language that sounds like a depressed russian writer, but also explaining it concisely with symbolism

>>503522145>AI director>Her>Schizoid behaviorBros...I figured it out
>>503523305STOP THE COUNT GAMMABROS!!!
>>503523053Ya his conclusion that you'll have no reason to miss A-life when the director works as intended is misplaced. I think a lot of people fondly remember A-life as it was mixed together in their memory from both the old games and any mods they played.

COMPILING SHADERSPLEASE WAIT
>>503508597I think you're under attack by a psychic mutant, not an anomaly. >>503508618>want to download gamma>for downloads, VISIT OUR DISCORD!!!!lolno.
>>503523421the performance mod should remove compiling.
>>50352305395% of the playerbase would be fine wothout simulating Ack-ack’s journey three zones over, people mostly bitch about spawns happening right on top of your ass or in locations you just cleared. It’s not like I care about some rookie going on an adventure if I drop him an exo and a gauss rifle, I just want to have fun with the encounters but currently the system is clearly broken
>search a cache in the swamps>bloodsucker starts chasing me>dash to the next POI I was going to, a nearby lava anomaly field>find a safe place in the middle, grab a couple artifacts including a hypercube, and come out on the far side>the ash-covered ground makes it easy to see its footsteps and i finish it off with a point blank shotgun headshot
>>503523305It's not perfect, the game doesn't save the flashlight state in the save, meaning you have to change the flashlight parameters in the console everytime you start the game, possibly after every reload too
>>503516351need to buy the rail upgrade first, no?
>Alife2.0 with offline simulation is actually in the game>but every offline simulated stalker keeps getting packs of bloodsuckers spawned on them when they leave a POI and immediately die to themKino

>>503524732Hey come on that's why you have a PC and not a shitbox.
>>503524543
>>503524676IWP with call of the zone addon the anons here suggested, I never play freeplay mods but this one seems interesting and theres a scuffed main story to follow, its just awkward idk what to do in these mods, gonna try to follow the main story heading towards loki rn
Performance is pretty shit but there are dudes with deaktops that were midrange 6 years ago wondering why the game runs like ass
God damn, new mod on the nexus expands the ai director spawn radius and seems like it bumps up the spawns. Not an A life fix but it does make the zone feel more populated, and npcs actually spawn kinda far away now. Spawn rate seems insane though, picrel is an enormous battle between like 4 squads of loners and a bandit patrol + snorks.
>>503508152>Faust wonI clapped.
>>503524756With all the safes?
>>503525140so its just another fucking retarded mod, great
I'm having this problem where music started cutting out, I restarted my game and now even the menu music is doing it.Anyone encountered the same problem and perhaps came up with a fix?
well ok
>>503525140Apparently spawns themselves are bugged, so even with the tweaked configs its still kinda stupid
>>503525002I think technically all the big freeplay mods have scuffed main stories.
>>503525256The point is it works and can be tweaked.
>>503525140> Spawn rate seems insane thoughdo not wantmostly uninhabited zone with occasional distant fight over kolbasa > muh large battles

>>503524654the hole in wild territory is gone too, and the door's open
>>503523398Yeah but the mods came out in 2012 and it's just about 2025 now. STALKER 2 should kick modded SOC's ass in every measurable category. But it doesn't. Even the graphics are worse.
>>503525578we support gsc here instead of shitting on them exclusively while huffing their scraps out the dumpster w piracy like the ziggers on 2ch
>>503519793Where?
>>503525412Yeah I agree, but its cool that at least the spawn radius is fixable with patrols not appearing right inbetween my ass cheeks. Mod literally just came out like an hour ago.

>>503525632Sorry pal, hollow points don't work against mutants. They don't only have high health, they have extremely high armor stats. You want AP ammo as if they were wearing a heavy suit of armor.That's not intuitive, it's not explained anywhere, and it doesn't make sense - but once you know about it, you can play the game pretty normally- that's eurojank baby
>>503525550Oh, I think I was thinking of something near the dig site. Thanks. I'm at the slag now so I'll head over.
>>503525417I lean Zigger but I did buy the game.
HMM...
>>503525582Yes this game is DOA. if this is what they have to show after years of development then there is literally zero hope
>>503524771They scrubbed all the Soviet-ness out of the fucking Soviet post-apocalypse game, it's wild. That shit was core to the game's identity, half of the symbolism and depth of the game is post-cold war decay. It's like they don't even want to reference the zone for what it is, where it is, what happened there. They may as well have set this anywhere on earth because without utilising the history of the fucking CNPP and real life zone, what is the point of setting it there.There's such gaping holes in the worldbuilding of this game that anybody who's new to the franchise will have absolutely zero clue what's going on, and it's all because they pussied out and de-Russified their game, because Putler did a heckin invasiorino we have to culturally erase it and anything to do with it from all media now. It's actually crazy how retarded human culture has become.I don't give a shit about the /pol/ side of the war, this is just straight up negatively impacting the game by making it more bland.

>>503526330>instead of spawning in a small zone place they spawn in a large radius ebbin solution
>>503525892>>we support gsc here>Why thoBecause they're literally genociding the russian speaking world and that's based
>>503526230the stalker seriesleave it to ziggers to turn the series into a cultural icon + mod it for ages while hating/not supporting the company responsible for them
>>503526590>muh photorealism>npcs despawn after 80 meters and never come backthanks consoleniggers and microshit
>>503526430I dunno it seems pretty reasonable that there would be a multinational force assembled to guard the zone.Hell, the idea has been done in old stalker mods.
>>503526672all because their dictator told them they are nazis
>>503524257>>503524514>blur/10how do people play the game like this?
>>503526672Stalker 1 GSC =/= Stolkor 2 GSCThe only name in common is Griga himselfSo you are a Griga dickrider if you defend this fallout 4 mod of a game
>>503526709>start arguing about graphics>switch to draw distanceGood shitpost.

>>503527014>those hairlinesgrim. is this hard coded in the slavic gene?
>>503526884>The only name in common is Griga himselfproofs? p sure plenty of devs in nu-gsc worked on the originals
>>503527014Its on GOG with no DRM
>>503526590>>and True Stalker had better grafix than thisIt had better art direction. The locations were generally nice to look at.
>>503527149Griga fired everyone when he cancelled stalker 2Stolkor 2 newfags not welcome
>>503520294>Honest question, why is this game butthurting so many vatniks?you know this isn't an honest question. vatniks and ziggers hate ukraine with an autistic passion because monke says they're all nazis or whatever.
GOD FUCKING DAMNIT i need to reach that dead guy but the ladder just isn't letting me get off in that platformmotherfuck
>game just spawns in a M701 super and a cracker in inventory while on my way to the red forest
>>503526463I think it depends on rep in cotz, but it is possible at the beginning since you're so low rank with everyone
>>503520294Vatnigs understand stalker better than dumb secondaries like youSo it's understandable their disappointment is immeasurable
>the first real underground area you explore is x18 againfuck off with this lazy shit. bruh its been YEARS how are there still things to loot in here?
Remember stalkers, travel light!
>>503527090Very common at least. Look at Strelok, from Poland to the Russian far east one thing is common, the Norwood.
>>503527521have you played russian mods? their autism is barely aligned with the vision of the original stalker series. they are soup-niggers
>>503527534Wrong thread anon, here you go: >>695496159
>>503526194is there an option to romance her and then meet in the back to fuck her hard against a wall while pulling on her hair?asking for a friend
>>503521361>>503522145>you will never have AI director wife who spawns 3 dozen bloodsuckers on your ass
>>503520446>>503521831Well, I can confirm that it works as in it spawns more shit, far and near, which makes the game a lot more dynamic for sure. It definitely needs more fine tuning but even the schizo himself said so. For now I think it's a good, bootleg, bandaid until GSC gets their heads out of their asses. The problem I'm seeing is the feature parity bullshit that Microshit always forces on developers, I doubt consoles can run anything near this complex.
>>503527440this is one of the weirder bugs I encounteredsometimes the game just randomly spawns weapons into my inventory or one of my weapon slotsnot a clue why it happens, there's no consistency to it other than the weapons slot bound to my 4 key is generally the slot the weapons spawn into
>>503527415ah okay I did some parkour I got my first proper weapon from that quest>>503527471ig ill head back to bar and see if they're hostile, but its retarded that I kill a rogue dutier and lose duty rep
>>503527534>aislopew
>>503527762>>503527440it's the free guns anomaly
>>503527737but does it stop shitfrom spawning ontop of you in ridiculous ways? like clear out base > loot stash inside base > newpatrol spawns outside the building you are in
>>503526745Seems unwise to give up exclusive territorial rights to the big nigga magic zone, but how did they get Belarus to agree to it too? Just adds too many questions they aren't interested in alluding to or answering.
I'm really enjoying gamma but what are the labs and pripyat etc. Like Am I gonna have moments where I fully prep out like when you're hitting endgame chernobyl
>>503527667>have you played russian mods?OLR 3.0 is better than Stalker 2Stalker 2 crashes a lot less thouhbeit
>>503527521>Vatnigs understand stalker better than dumb secondariesdoes this mean anything or is it just words
>>503527854Nope. I just had a pack of boars spawn on top of me not 5 minutes ago. Schizo needs to tune it up and put the minimum distance at 100 meters if possible.
It should be illegal to use this fucking slop engine.
>>503527521or maybe they're disappointed because the game is contributing to drones that are striking their cousins because their dictator decided he wanted some shitty extra villages in motherland? seems like a good reason to be butthurt about, but its not my problem
>>503527854It seems better, but the dev said there is some extra thing spawning things really close he can't seem to control
>>503528070It means vatnigs made this game popular in the first place
>>503508152Was Leon Kennedy from the trailers deleted from the game?
>>503527667Ya man fuck off with that, you and I both know that's not true and pretending it is just makes you gay.
>Take Faust's offer to help at the end of the bossfight, after the game randomly sets itself to 30fps for all of it and I can barely land a single shot on the endlessly swarming dudes let alone their gimmick>it's a fake out gameover that immediately kills you and resets you to before the bossfight>all my saves are now softlocked and I'm unable to move at all, even saves as far back as the tutorial are brokenBlyat

>>503528085try DLSS ray reconstruction instead of Lumen
>>503528189>>503528073that sucks then. this is like the number 1 issue, i dont see a reason to upload an "alife" bandaid mod without being able to address this
this game runs so poorly I'm unironically considering using framegen
the flailing levitating wildlife trying to adjust to anomalies is a pretty cool effect
freeplay-bros, do you increase these or no? even on 0.5 seems like theres enough stalkers around so not sure
Ukrainians got what they deserve after all of that 'death to moscal' screeching on 2ch.
>>503527081>I'll pretend it's fine that I jump between arguments to move goalposts and not admit I'm wrong about anythingBased subhuman third world shitposter.>>503527278No, it just had some bright colors and a few cool anomalies like the teleporting one with the floating rocks. It's still nothing compared to Stalker 2's visuals.
>>503528350>he thought he could outsmart the C-C
>>503528527The dude who ported cotz to iwp suggests 0.5 for mutants and 0.75 for stalkers so that's what I've been using
Just like old times.
>>503528496it runs great but it's an Xbox port with no grafixreal ultra settings are hidden behind mods that aren't out yetyou did buy a 40 series GPU right?
>install alife mod>clear some old barrack>two bands of bandits start clashing against loner while dogs attack both sidesso this is what Alife supposed to look like?
>>503528496the moment i realized i wasn't gonna get above 60 fps consistently i turned framegen on. no fucking thanks

>>503528632alright I"ll do that how are the tools situation in these freeplay mods? how many tools are around should I be careful about which technician I give them to? rn I accepted a job to find tools for the duty technician in bar sorry if dumb question but i rly dont know how they work
why does this game throw so much food and medkits at you??
>>503528527Protip if you're using gamma these do nothing, go into mod configuration and change under ZCP instead I've cranked mine up a bit to see. Ignore if you're not using that mod
>>503528598>I fail to understand the simple argument that gameplay got shafted in favour of visual fidelity and make up random strawmans in hopes I don't look retardedjust kill yourself at this pointjust
its s-so sharp!
>>503528912because its stalker not dayz
>>503528934im playin' iwp + coz, i was gonna do anomaly old world addon but some1 suggested this instead, gamma/anomaly as is just ain't for me its too much
>>503528912you take enough damage in fights from hitscan npcs with perfect accuracy and vision that you need it all
How valuable would coffee be in the Zone? Probably more than vodka, and vodka is just watered down ethanol in the end.
>>503529009>game looks like fucking dogshit without 20 layers of post processing fucking ugly ass engine
>>503529046both are survival game, dumb fuck
>>503529009
>>503508840Tried I swear
>>503528858>lumen>AI upscalerLMAO, the pot calling the kettle black
>>503529229there is energy drinks and they are dirt cheap. coffee? would be purely for enjoyment I suppose. so some stalkers or traders would pay a lot for it.
>>503526194>Freedom has womenDuty lost, Freedom won. PLAP PLAP PLAP
>>503529259you need to go back to gamma if you want to find 1 bandage for every 50 soiled underwears
30h in and holy fuck do I feel tired of this game. Absolutely loved it for the first 20, explored the fuck out of cordon/garbage/zaton, but now I don't see the point in exploring any new locations just to find the same stashes of sausages and bandages. Encounters feel pointless, so I'm just dashing through the main quests to get this portion done with. It's such a shame since the atmosphere (especially post monolith return ) is fantastic, and the locations do feel quite nice to explore, but the rewards, and unique encounters are so insignificant that it all feels like a waste of time. Also fuck everyone in spark, it feels like I've joined a faction of schizos who for whatever reason don't see the need to tell me anything regarding their plans.
One more thing, should I use the immortal companions addon for escort missions or is that cheating?
>>503529009LMAO stay filtered by fucking up your settings, retard kun
>>503529538>this is le.....perfectly fine for a survival game!just say that you like the toddler treatment
>>503528085I miss X-Ray unironically
>>503526330at least there was an attempt at a-life
>>503518651repair costs are only bad if you try to repair extremely expensive items i.e. armor, instead of replacing them. in addition, wear upgrades are essential, even really expensive ones on armor, as they are far cheaper than repairs. after you leave the lesser zone quest rewards quickly start outpacing repair costs.
>>503529781goddamn I accidentally accepted two escort missions at once
>>503508753Escape from Pripyat
>>503529918its perfectly fine for stalker
>>503529918watch, they wont say its a survival game and they will call you a zoomer
>>503528496Im using fsr or whatever it is, but framegen gave me massive input lag
>>503529918Misery troon
>>503529538>>503530182Dude Stalker 2 gives you way too many meds, and I'm comparing it to the original trilogy not any mods.
Artifacts look so good to consume...
>>503529918Feels like vanilla to me, with tons of ammo and medkits.Misery and its consequences have been a disaster.
>>503528896you generally get quests to either kill a dude that has them or the quest giver will specify a location where they're at and then you'll just search inside like 50m radius of the point and they'll be there. much better and easier in this than in anomaly
>>503529406Stop moving, throw bolt to bait the explosion, move a little, repeat.
>>503528858That has nothing to do with upscalers or even TAA. That's just how lumen works.
>>503530360thanks, one more thing... I clicked wait here from this menu now my companions are just waiting and the other commands don't make them follow me, how tf do I get em to follow me again lmao
>>503528938>and make up random strawmansI replied to a post saying TS looked better. You then tried to sidestep into something else. You're a retarded shitposter.
>>503530321SoC was made like 40 years ago and was basically the first of its kind, its ok that it was rough around the edges. this is a sequel to a trilogy that somehow manages to not learn any lessons from the previous entries.
>>503530301Oh I always loved the dancing droplet ones. Brings back good memories. I hope just to collect them to own all.
>>503508152I dunno. Looked like the top panel to me.How do you fire the gp-25? It's attached. I have a little icon next to single/auto modes.
>>503508152UE5 and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. Give me back soulful lighting, not this shitty ass raytracing.>>503511152>>503511392Psy-dogs are absurd now and this fight is proof. It wouldn't be even that bad if you could single out the main one and focus him but the fucker basically teleports the second he takes damage and leaves a fake one in it's place. The fake ones also actually have a slight bit of health unlike before so at range it can take a couple shots from a pistol to kill one which is very confusing.
>>503530459Uhh I've never messed with this tbdesu. Try talking to them and telling them to follow you again
>>503530487I replied to your post not caring what you replied to.Its not rocket science you fucking nigger.
>>503529416>>503530447That's from DLSS and has nothing to do with lumen.
>>503530653yeah that worked actuallydo you think I should use the immortal companions mod or nah? how vulnerable are these guys? theres a lot of escort missions in this mod
>>503529918You can set whatever arbitrary limits you like to enhance difficulty for yourselfOr are you just seething about how other kids play with their toys?

>>503530916I see, well rn have to get through the burner anomaly with them idk if they'll make it will see
>>503531164I made an accurate observation on the state of Stalker 2, you fucking fragile, worthless, egocentric, braindamaged nigger faggot.KILL-YOUR-SELF.
Should I pay Varan his 20k to avoid meaningless killing?
>>503530764
>>503530795ok retardthats only 37 medkits while i could have had 100+ if i didn't intentionally avoid picking up all the medkits i find
Somewhat unrelated.. with the black friday and cybermonday, is it worth upgrading from 5600x to 5700x3d and from 16gb ram to 32gb? My performance right now is fine but if i see a nice deal will it be worth it?
>>503531538>5600x to 5700x3dhell no are you on crack? go 7800x3d if you're buying a new cpu or don't bother, thats like a 5% improvement>32gbyes, 16gb is super low these days
>>503508152so hows stalker 2 and why should i play that over gamma or any buildo modpack
i clapped
>>503531212god fukcing damnit I don't have psi block shit, gg ig i'll try to get it in the scientist bunker
>>503531331No, you replied to a post talking about graphics to bitch about something other than graphics to try to justify you're worthless subhuman babbling. You're less than an insect. Kill yourself and your entire bloodline.

>>503508152i'm playing Stalker Anomaly right now, i'm at Rostok where you can take challenges in the Arena, i'm at the point where you fight 6 bandits but 2 of them have exoskeletons, i have no bandages and few ammo, how do you even get out of this alive ?
>>503531768>go 7800x3d if you're buying a new cpuHe would have to replace his entire motherboard and memory too>thats like a 5% improvementFor games, going from non-X3D to X3D is more like a full generational upgrade. For a decent price it's definitely worth it, the 5700X3D and 5800X3D are still keeping up with Intel's top end CPUs for gaming and will last a good few years yet.>16gb is super low these days99% of games still see no performance benefit for going from 16gb to 32gb.
i've played about 15 hours of s2 by now and I still haven't found an artifact worth using yet
>>503532338bro... go hunt artefacts
>>503532124>from a 2060 to 3060tell me you're retarded, please.
>>503520446>This new AI Director is not by any means is watered down. In fact, the reason she is such a mess is that the ai system is in fact too fucking convoluted.
>>503532373>99% of games still see no performance benefit for going from 16gb to 32gb.he's currently playing one of the 1% of games that do, tho.
>>503532373>performance benefitsometimes that benefit is simply being able to have browser open with 2 dozen tabs without issues while playing, or having no stutters.16gb is not enough anymore with modern games.
>>503532373>For games, going from non-X3D to X3D is more like a full generational upgrade.ig you're right, thats a huge diff, my bad, didn't know 3d cache tech shit was so good I fell for the shintel meme and have a i7 12700k, I regret not going ryzen every day but back then 7800x3d wasn't a thing, now its the gold standard cpu
>>503532605Oh forgot i'm in /vg/ should have brought a 1050 i'm sorry.
>>503532830>I fell for the shintel meme and have a i7 12700kits a great cpu. the best intel has released for the past 5 years and their last good one.just change to X3D whenever you can
Lads help, what can I do here? I'm just fucked n can't complete this mission wo psi-block? >>503532908yeah im pretty satisfied ig even though it runs hot, buddy has a 7800x3d and it runs super cold while performing better, I'll upgrade the PC in about 2-3 years god willing if it doesn't give out by then and get ryzen + a better gpu, the thing thats fucking me for new games is the low vram, only 8gb on 3070ti, I have to lower settings on tw warhammer 3 for example, can't play on ultra because of the vram, everything is vram hungry now
>>503532886real /vg/ niggahs never left the G100, but seriously though. You should've bought a 4060 at least, or save some more for a 4070.How much did you paid for that 3060?
>>503533183>I'm just fucked n can't complete this mission wo psi-block?Brain goes BRRRRR
>>503533183yeah you can't go there until you progress in the story enough to get psi-block
>Get to Yanov>Find little tower near the train station with a Monolith sniper in it>He kills me in one shot every single time>I can shoot him 10+ times in the head with 5.45 and he doesn't dieWhat in the everloving fuck is this horseshit?
>4070ti>32GB RAM>i7 10700k>Game runs great without fucking with any ini files in 2k/120fpsI was confused by all the bitching about performance but then I remembered what the average anon uses for a gaming PC these days
>>503529918ok now post how many kg that is.funny how people cry about medkits being too plentiful and OP but at the same time cry about the inventory weight limit which is obviously designed to limit the number of consumable items.
>sometimes buying upgrades just does nothinggood thing I had a recent quicksave
>>503533423Monolith armor stronk. Puny bullet not enough.
>>503532547that's not answering my question about that arena fight.
>>503532203>I replied to a screenshot, that's all.So you replied to a screenshot showing good graphics to bitch about something that wasn't graphics. You are a subhuman and a retard.
what went wrong?
>>503533340>yeah you can't go there until you progress in the story enough to get psi-blockwhat is the psyblock I need for that area anyways, the headband thing from the scientists? I get that eventually from the main coz quest?
>>503530949>Not the two-stage Sionics suppressorUnless you can use that, and not hold it like a pistol, I will never use a MAC
>>503533680yeah
>>503531768>>503532373so the cpu is worth it. but how big of a difference would 32gb of ram make?>inb4 why not 5800x3di dont wanna keep pumping money into this build. im making small but effective upgrades for some future proofing before moving to am5 when the time calls
>>503532908>and their last good one.That would be the 13600k. Very good performance all around, good price, doesn't use crazy power like all the stronger ones.
>>50353376232gb is great qol these days, games are starting to get more and more ram hungry, ram is relatively cheap, just buy it imo
>>503533767>only 6 perofrmance cores, more e-coresno thanks
Is Dark Valley in S2 anywhere?
>>503533904The performance is still very solid.

anyone know where I can get this blueprint?if I can get this blueprint this armor would be a direct upgrade to mine
Anybody found someone willing to trade for PDAs instead of just cash? In Call of Pripyat you could unlock better wares with Owl if you sold all your PDAs and documents to him specifically.
>need a mod for raw mouse input>need a mod to balance X and Y sensitivity>auto lean>shoot a bloodsucker 80 times to kill itI am probably a few days late as I only just got this game but holy shit stalker 2 fucking blows. This is an absolute joke
Are there variable scopes in the game or am I stuck with a holo or a sniper one? I might just stop carrying a shotgun and using a combo of AR+Sniper otherwise
>>503531370>avoid meaningless killing>avoid
>>503534321>scopeswhat scopes? why do you need scopes? NPCs despawn past 80m. certified XBAWKS moment, mak sure to thank microshit for this, in fact you should thank bill gates personally

Is the one quest where you have to put vodka in the stashes in the garbage bugged? Already did that shit found the guy he fucked off and I got nothing in return after going back to the drunk guys, then went to one of the stashes and if I loot it then I get a perma quest icon
the unique spas you get from finishing the arena is shockingly good. Killing bloodsuckers in one swift magdump makes up for all their prior bullshit.

>Sidor mumbles about how I killed his hitmen>absolutely no penalty to me for doing so, not even increased prices at the Rookie Village
>>503534385It turns out I elected socialism.
>>503534827you dont need scopes. there is ur answer, nigger faggot
>>503535364not on the cz scorpion that sub machine pistol is a beast and the iron sights are awesome.
>>503533762Yeah it's worth it for the CPU, that will be the last ride or die upgrade for your mobo and you'll be able to part with it knowing it was a true soldier. The difference between 5700X3D and 5800X3D isn't that huge so don't worry, but the X3D part makes a big difference.For the memory, I mean sure, if you find it cheap (and DDR4 should be cheap by now, though I haven't checked) it's worth it for future proofing, but it won't give you a big immediate benefit. Personally I am gonna look out for some, I'll just throw in another 2x8gb kit since I have two spare slots, doesn't really matter if it's an upgrade or not, it's just similar situation, I'm already on 5800X3D so I am gonna squeeze as long as I can out of this board.
>>503535093modders are deranged news at 11
>>503535157I told you, Monolith stronk. It's probably story related and some really fucking gay way of keeping you out of there?
>>503535192Get the merc suit in Cordon, Abandoned Farmstead.
>>503533945Yeah it's merged into Garbage now. Layout is slightly different but very familiar.
At what point in the game do you get a working G36?I'm about 12 hours in and gathered some 5.56 to use with the HK416 but that gun is underwhelming as fuck. Feeels like I'm playing cawadooty on an eastern european map.
>>503534927>noooo this game feels like the nomal games and not the mods!!and this is bad because?
>>503535137AND NOW THERE'S A BLOWOUT AS WELL WITH NO SHELTER AROUND
>>503535185>AKUI said AKM
>>503535714just use shotgun its all you need
>>503535056Considering the modders talk about the AI as a female god, even the modding community will fail
>>503522392>>503520175top shill
>>503535747Because the vanilla games were just COD with jank
>breathing noises everywhere on the map>pic relWHAT IS THIScontroller nearby?
is there any way to butter up the shah and get his trader? if i show up with his gun he just wants to kill me.
>emission goes off>not a single building in this entire area counts as "shelter"wow that's really epic and cool
>>503536173it's just the voices, man.
Playing cat and mouse with a merc in wild territory
is "noosphere" said a single time in this entire story? it's weird they completely dropped that aspect of the story past SOC
>>503536248I wanted to do the talk to him quest but nothing worked and it just told me to shoot them all. Can't tell if it was bugged or if I missed something like a time limit.
>>503521176>You're a retard. Arbitrary invisible walls or movement restrictions are never good level design.now thats some ironic shit
>>503536506I was hearing it everywhere noped outta that map asapcan the npc stalkers even handle a controller like this, he won't just genocide the whole map will he
>>503525327
>>503536783there's only one way to find out :^)btw do you have the BLOOP gun?
>>503535747Vanilla stalker sucks, has always sucked, will always suck. Any other dumbass question from the peanut gallery?
>>503520446nah
>>503525626>I know that you're gayKEK
>>503536267I hide in earth holes.
>>503536727Get out there and face him like a man.
>>503536905>BLOOP gunno idea what that is
>>503535979I got the pump-action one with the mag and it's been good. the repair costs are ruining me financially, though
>>503525327what mod
>>503537157if you don't know you don't have it. Save every grenade you see.
>>503537140I did and my game crashed, game isn't even giving me error windows, only happens when im shooting but not always just sometimes.
>>503535553I wondered about that as well - but it's weird because it's not like he seems to be guarding the entrance to anything. It's just one of those tiny, two-story towers beside railway tracks, with nothing else of note apparent around it.Either way it would be extremely fucking retarded if that is the case and it's a deliberate thing, because it's in no way apparent that you can't kill him until you've tried several times.
>>503535714It's not about when as much as where you look. Entire map is pretty much accessible from the very start as far as I can tell, the deeper you go the better gear enemies have. Push deeper, sdalger.
so is stlaker 2 autistic and fun enough or not?
>>503537182iwp standalone with the cotz addon >>503508002>>503537240oh I mean I did find a HK-smth grenade launcher but I sold it, is it that good?

>Finally find a Stechkin APS>It's locked to 3-round burst for some fucking reason, can't even switch to semiauto>No option at the technician to change firemodes with moficiationsAnd off to the trader this piece of shit goes
>>503528085>could go with stencil shadows and dynamic lights>NOPE, GOTTA USE THAT CURRY GEN LIGHTING SYSTEM THAT'S DOGSHIT COMPARED TO WHAT WE HAD 2 DECADES AGOI'm never buying anything made on unreal(ly shit) again.
>>503537342>is it that good?You can dunk on any mutant and stalker with that.>Bandits bandit around>BLOOP>snorks and bloodsuckers>BLOOP>controlers>BLOOP
is my IWP installation fucked or is the game supposed to have a 25 second freeze everytime i save (even from console) or open the pause menu? i have seen levels load quicker than the time it takes for it to save
>>503537281its worse it's every time i kill this guy the game crashes.
>>503535503>4x8gb>2x16gb and sell the old oneswhich way
>>503537806smth is fucked, for me theres not even a slowdown when quicksaving
>>503537517The gun that does not have a three round burst is now a three round burst only?
>>503532006You need the psy helmet from sakharov nigga
>>503537549>muh stencil shadowsActual retard.
>>503537934>thing worked years ago>no, it bad, use worse looking solution for 40% fewer FPS
>>503537902Apparently so.And not even like it's semi or burst, it's not even select-fire. It's literally locked to 3-round burst.
>>503537828how much memory you motherboard can handle?if it's above 32 then buy two sticks of 16, then later on if you need more, buy two more.if it's just 32, then buy four 8gb sticks if they're cheaper.
>>503535185i thought i knew this face from somewhere else
Ok anon he died and the game didn't crash, but i think i killed him too hard.
>>503537342would you say its better than anomaly? whats different?
>>503536757There's nothing ironic about you not knowing what makes good level design.
>>503534481dumping
>>503528252You mean this one?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfmhfDvOyP0This trailer was 100% fake. Curiously, even for later trailers the level of graphical fidelity they showed only persists in cutscenes.
>>503538306Whats the "have 30 junk items" thing on the right?
>>503537498Blind>>503537549Unreal having the option for lumen doesn't mean devs need to do their lighting that way.
>>503537889you got the standalone or the old version? maybe i fucked up the install
>>503537306>Push deeper, sdalger.can you at least tell me where?
>>503538385
>>503538064Stencil shadows were horrible for performance and had no smoothing whatsoever. They were opaque. You are advocating for the shit Doom 3 had. Do not speak when you clearly know nothing.
>>503534321no there are notfixed zoom onlyI am currently running a reflex sight on a large-mag-small-bullets primary, a 4x acog on a single-shot secondary, and the three-round burst pistol
>>503538546extra achievements, just a mod that adds more inconsequential ones that don't give you perks or anything.
>>503538514Can't believe they removed the Russian voicelines because the nukranians need nukranian wording
>>503538642
9700k/2070s and i refunded because of poor performance. what fucking gives? every game nowadays, they look the same or even worse than games from 5+ years ago
>>503538628to ...the north
>>503538075i dont wanna derail the thread too much with the hardware talk but 128gb.. i know i wont be upgrading tho. Im just wondering about the performance of 2 vs 4 sticks with a ryzen. theres conflicting info online and i cant make up my mind. some say 4 sticks can run into trouble
>>503538605standalone then the patch on top then the 6.2 whatever cotz addon
>>503524487>3 days ago
So let me understand?>AKS74U can have either top rail /lightweight mod>AKS74 can have lightweight mod but no scope attachmentswho the fuck designed this?Also is full-auto just a waste of ammo? The guns feel like they bounce around waaay too much, even on semi sometimes.
>>503538495what movie
>>503538842>>503538514Apparently the russian voice acting is still in the files somewhere. Anyone know more of this?
>>503538850gsc is listening to us>>503538857your pc sucks i have an i9-9900kand 3070ti + 32gig of ram
>>503539014thx, if reinstalling doesn't fix it im just going back to classic CoCK
>>503538842>>503538514who cares, it sounds the same
>>503539058you can put the reddot on the little ak but not the big one. dont know why they fucked this upalso i have been in some shit firefights where the bullets some how miss everything and my crosshair is on them. other times it works.
>>503538984Depends on the task, for games it won't matter much. For 128gb max, you're better off with two sticks of 16, it will give you room for another two sticks of 16, or even two 32gb sticks if you really need a lot of RAM.
>>503538857>wtf why my midrange card and cpu from 2019 no run technically demanding 2024 game good???
Been running great on my 5800x3d/3080 on medium-high with TAA and some shader stuff turned down. Pretty consistent 60-80fps with the occasional crash during the start of cutscenes or dropping items.Medium textures fill my GPU memory tho.
>psy dogs screeches>automatic rifle fire>people screamingNot my problem...
>>503538857>they look the same or even worse than games from 5+ years agoWhat game from 5+ years ago looks better than Stalker 2 and isn't linear/small levels. Bonus points if you can stop yourself from naming RDR2 as the only example even though Stalker 2 looks better.
>>503527014>mongolian mutts
>>503539582that dudes system is old but its well within the minimum specs of the game so the fact that it can't run it is a technical oversight on the side of the devs, simple as
>>503539716Death Stranding.
The most important thing about your loadout is aestheticThe second most important thing is travelling light so you can carry moar lootBut more important than either of them is making all your numbers even multiples
>>503539716i think stalker 2 looks great but not so fast, rdr2 and witcher 3 still look better to this day
>>503539582it runs like shit on everything unless you turn on framegen
>>503537828I paid for four slots and I'm gonna damn well use 'em.
>>503540453Runs fine on a 6900xt
>>503537828>>5035404904 slots puts way more stress on the mem controller I think, dual channel is always best
>>503540245I genuinely don't know if you're joking.>>503540345>rdr2No.>Witcher 3Fuck no.
What the fuck are these frametimes, stalkerbros? I'm literally running across an empty field. There is fuck-all happening near me.
>>503539671Are you using the schizo a-life mod?
>>503540592what program? I usually just use the steam overlay for FPS6800xt / 5800x3d
>>503535714>that imagewho did tha tto the g36c
>>503538984>theres conflicting info online and i cant make up my mind. some say 4 sticks can run into troubleHonestly it only makes a difference if you are going hyper autism mode and tweaking all your timings etc. You will run into trouble if you don't get matching kits, but 4 slots of all the same spec memory shouldn't have any issues, most boards with 4 slots are capable of them as two pairs of dual channel. Just make sure they are in the right slots for that, not mixed up.
>>503540720yes.
bros should i buy the psi suit for 40k
>>503538375uh huhyep
Imagine a game that looked like Half-Life with modern shooting mechanics, AI, and world.
Good news guys, the ukranian femboy will do a 2 cosplay
>snorks kill two dudes>game crashes>reload>...
>>503541046>modern AI no thanks
>>503508152>5 hours in>roaming around like a mad man>chased by bloodsuckers>see floating fish>struck by fucking lighting>throw bolts at people's faces and they wince>foliage is some of the best I've seen>boars knock you over>can stealth around enemies>top notch sound design So far, this game is S.O.V.L. Suppose if I want to go to different zones, I gotta do the story? Stuck in lesser zone and I'd like to explore :(
>>503539058>>503539305I guess it's kinda supposed to be like, gives each gun its purpose, U for the close range dakka SMG kind of role with kobra, M for more of a mid-range DMR type role with PSO.still pretty gay tho desu
>>503540972no, practically all of the "suits" (integral helmet) that I've seen or found have innate 1bar of psi resistsome standalone helmets have it toojust keep a few sticks of psi-gone in your inventory for the rare occasion of running into something scary until you have a proper suit>>503541046there's a blatant Half-Life homage sequence which is actually pretty great in that it legitimately feels like a slav copy of what it is homaging to
>>503534481>stalker 2>soul
>>503541007Acting aloof doesn't make you any less wrong or help you come off as clever. Inconsistent movement abilities like letting the player vault some surfaces and objects but not others for no reason other than "We wanted this section to be harder to platform" is objectively dogshit design that only retards defend. So is throwing a few light chairs and desks into a room and making them immovable objects then using that as an invisible wall for a level.
>>503541046theres probably something like that in here https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40711747-Throwback-Shooters/theres tons of games on doom engine but idk no goldsrc lookalikes come to mind rn
is there a mod for the older stalker games that prevents npcs from obstructing doorways?

Does S2 send you to all regions eventually or do you need to travel there on your own without having any missions for said region?Like, idk if I should go to the swamps to collect the journalist stash when my story's at the garbage.
>>503541769i couldn't care less about the bugs just improve the peformance
>Binoculars are in the game>You just can't use them because uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Remember when we used to talk about anomaly and gamma? Good times.
>>503541880doesnt the main quest get softlocked
>>503542014same with NVG
>>503542021Will the bloat cancer modders move on to Stalker 2 or are they gonna continue beating x-ray to a pulp?
>>503542021no, gamma was regularly shit on herr for being a glorified addon downloader script
Right, so, I heard there were bugs regarding this thing.Do I pick the scanner up?
>>503540939>>503540556fuck it ill go 4 slots. if the mem controller of a modern cpu cant handle it then ill take the L. cant be bothered with reselling my old sticks
>>503542014No point when the enemies don't spawn more than 50ft away cuz of ass life being so broken they had to turn it off and cranked the static respawns in your bubble to max to compensate
does anyone know if there's a graphics setting to help even out the puddle brightness?The reflection of the sky in the water shouldn't be brighter than the sky itself. Looks really off during nights.
>>503542184That's not how I remember it. People used to love it for keeping the game alive, and we used to share a lot of stories about it.
>>503542034I think it gets fucked if you touch Zallesya, you just can't do the optional obj of speaking to the Prof, but who cares about that, he'll probably give you useless info that you already know and 200 coupons for your trouble
>>503542413>>503542034should be fixed in a week or so
>>503541797>words words wordsImagine getting mad a 2 lines because you're a retard who needs to avoid actually talking about the position you're taking since you know you're too stupid to argue.

>>503542365no.every time gamma was brought up that person was told to gtfo or kill themselvesor just >gamma
>>503542021I still shit on them regularly. Not sure what you're talking about.>>503542195You don't pick it up. You shut it down and then pick up the keycard nearby.

Actually, why the fuck can't I smoke in Stalker 2
>>503542365You must have been posting somewhere else. People here liked CoC and begrudgingly accepted Anomaly because you could cut most of the misershit out yourself, but Gamma was never popular here.4chan Stalkan was best in the days before /vg/ even existed and we were all playing AMK and OL2.2

>>503542994in a year or two at best, have you seen how fucked the code is kek
why didnt they add fake a-life at least. scripted events that look organic>random stalkers walking by>mutant chewing on a dead body>stalkers fighting, talking, camp fire shit>dead bodies on the floor around where you heard gunfiremost people would think its a-life
>>503543576actually itll be two more weeks
>>503543703desu, I think that might be in but it's broken, I keep running into lit fires that clearly should have stalkers sitting around them, but they are totally barren
>>503543703If they used all scripted events then everyone would realize every playthrough and encounter was the same.
>>503543906>>503543906>>503543906
>>503543802Yes when everybody forgets that the devs scammed everyone and don't fix a life or fix it to the potential they marketed it as
>>503543703Because scrapping the real alife was likely a last minute decision
>>503543703not enough ressources on xbox to compute all that
I hate the shitty English dub but as someone who sunk countless hours into Stalker and slav-adjacent myself the Ukrainian dub has a huge uncanny valley aspect for me. The accent is different and they sometimes use words that stick out a lot because I have never heard them before.I sort of understand the political move away from Russian dub but it's impacting my enjoyment of the game.
>>503544117That makes me wonder how far along it was and how long it'll take them to implement it. Hopefully the shitbox CPU doesn't hold them back.
>>503543868organic scripted events shouldnt be very identifiable. it should be plain and boring that you wouldnt even thing about it being scripted. >>503544117yeah probably>>503544168impossibru!

>>503541250>>still pretty gay tho desuyeah the weapon upgrade system makes no sense
>>503544704you said everyone would realize. im saying instead of an empty, dead zone, they couldve just added scripted scenes that are plain stuff like stalkers walking in the distance and no one would know its scripted
>>503542337the water's reflecting the skybox cubemap and the 3d clouds are not part of it
>>503544914When people talk about the game to other people and the same stalkers pop up in the same places in the same encounters, people will know it's scripted.
>>503534247>need a mod for raw mouse input>need a mod to balance X and Y sensitivityDon't tell me they use shitty mouse acceleration that can't be disabled and they kept the x/y settings meant for console faggots?

>>503508152>>Stalker 2 ARS ModPack v 1.6 (balance + QoL)>https://pastebin.com/uG432cmvBros, hows the modpack? The vanilla systems feel so bad.I just got to the garbage and I just fought a bloodsucker > 3bandit spawn > bloodsucker spawn > another 3bandit spawn > another bloodsucker spawn.1.) The bandits with no helmets were tanking 3+ headshots from an AKM with 4x scope2.)The bloodsuckers take 10+ buckshots from the toz-34 to take down.I'm thinking of just using the modpack because I don't feel like I'm missing much playing with the vanilla systems in their current state. If any anon's think I should stick with the vanilla let me know why.

>>503526153Limit FPS and turn on frame gen.I don't know what the fucking problem is but special K is showing this game is CPU bound, GPU pushing 100+ while CPU is barely coughing up 60.Enabling frame gen helped massively to get VRR to kick in on my display.
