>Bloodsucker and a fucking Poltergeist ambush>and a bunch of Freedomers helping me>after the fight, Freedomer says how much he hates KrovosovsI hope the bloodsucker wasn't scripted, the A life is gone but the spawn director is trying his best to make situations
> weapon degradaiton mod> weapon damage rebalance mod> coupon balance mod> mutant HP modYou didn't beat the game.
>>503370743Shut up, Redman.
They will increase the spawn radius by 50 meters, delay the timers and add a check for a cleared area so squads don't respawn on top of you and call it a day.There you go, A-Life is fixed stalkers ;-^)
>2 bloodsuckers up my ass in some swamp shithole>nowhere to run except through the swamp>movement crawls to a haltwell at least those cocksuckers cant get me anymore. such is life in the zone
is there an extended mag for this thing? the stats are really good and I'd love to carry around an SMG that uses 9x18 but 20 rd vs the 40 of the viper aint good.
>>503371514This is literally the most OP weapon in the game, even better than the unique Viper.I'm serious.
>>503371102>increase the spawn radius Not possible everyone likes to blame console for this but the real issue is UE it's just not made to handle this type of system or game
>>503371745why so? is it the penetration? (which is super high for no reason) because a 20rder makes it annoying to use on groups
COLL OF CHORNOBYLCLOOR SKECOLL OF PREPYET
>>503371514yep. 30 round extended mag exists.
>>503371959STOLKOR ONOMOLYGOMMO
>>503371903It's the penetration and damage + zero recoil.The ammo is the cheapest in the game, the pen is on the level of the non-unique SVD and it's cheap to fix.It destroys all stalkers with quick headshots and mows through mutants without draining your bank.S2 got some gacha mechanics where unique guns are miles above say a regular DMR/Carbine just because it's a "legendary" drop.
I don't know if the cowsheds have 3 bloodsuckers scripted to spawn, but ummm they shouldn't do that, that's illegal
>https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/108/?tab=postsPost your death screens, anons.
>>503372302that's kinda dumb desu, the uniques should just have unique attachments or features like a swapped ammo type. and I know this isn't gamma but ammo should do consistent damage (slightly higher from a longer barreled weapon) and bigger calibers should do more.
>>503370637have the blueprint
Soooo? Best suit in the game is ?also where do i get a non faction seva suit?
gamma WILL save this general....
>>503372517>black screenIt's not perfect but it's better than a fucking screenshot of a bloodsucker.Doesn't fix the singular fucking dying with a gun infront of you anim that plays every time unfortunately.
>four bloodsuckers spawn in a cross-shaped pattern around me
IPSF has cool uniforms
wtf is dat
>>503373525Ceph emergence event.
Tell me more about the a-lifeSo you people are saying instead of them being in the zone. They just spawn by you when you aren't looking ?
>>503373525First time in Las Vegas?
it's fucking UP.https://mega.nz/file/kLUklD7C#pAuLEh_tM3R12B4qrf5fWLRx77Kp_6h53JVmk-LVUfo
>>503373862grok.........I kneel...........
>>503373862>make possible to get all armor weapon upgradesdoes this mean allowing you to install all the mods for every path? seems like a casualization mod to me. anyway not installing anything like this with such huge changes even if some are good
nothing about performance? :(
If you shoot everyone on sight it doesn't really affect anything but turns the game into holodomor 2.0The rep system is just prices + you get some FNV esque hunting squads spawn on top of you which doesn't change much in the grand scheme of things.
>>503374357>a-life system bugfixeswhat a-life, you mean IMPLEMENT it not FIXING it. cunts
>>503374357These types of week 1 updates are usually already being worked on before release, it's not like they stopped working, waited for feedback and then started working again. If there are any performance gains they might be side effects of them unfucking something like shaders double rendering, etc. The truth is, they're going to take until January at best to release something significant that isn't actual gamebreaking or showstopping bugs (soft and hard locks, for example)
>shoc aged poorly
lmao though gotta love steam discussions
>>503374723yeah the karma system does not exist.I remember very well my first time attacking a rookie in rookie village and having the whole village turn on me. Same with accidentally shooting faction members.It's just missing. you can shoot whoevert you like. They dont care if you wave their gun in their faces either>>503374283no it just means all technicians can theoretically do all upgrades once you unlocked them during the story.also this is all fine tuning and QoL improvements. nothing major
>>503375009I find it very retarded that nexusmods removed that one russian mod EVEN THOUGH the game has russian subtitles
>>503374925woah bro cool it with the anti semitism
They fucked him over and his relation wih Strelok so bad.
There are /v/irgins shitposting here right now who don't know a time before /vg/ where /stalker/ general was Peak /v/
>>503375140>They dont care if you wave their gun in their faces eitheropyжиe yбpaл bros...
>>503375009What the fuck was even the point of cutting the russian dub out if they left the subtitles and the interface.What kind of a message is that?
>>503375598the mob is usually correct otherwise
>>503374357yea that is a pretty lame first patch
im the red forest rn why the fuck does my character randomly swap out guns from my inventory? i swear of this is the work of a controller nearby im blast his head
Is there any point of going around looting stashes. I really don't need anymore bread.
Why is it ALWAYS some ESL crying about inane stuff?
>>503375684I think they don't realize that this IS alife, and that the only thing that's fucked is the spawn distance and timing
The Jank tradition is still alive nowadays.Feels like HOME!
>>503375684Video game fans are the most picky and ungrateful virgin shitters
>>503375886i love stalker 2 even as is rn buggy mess that it is but gatekeeping & whining to the devs is how you keep your hobby alive and thriving so no its kinda based actually
the thunderstorm effects are fuckin sick
>>503375886>you expect things advertised to work??? fucking perma virgin shitter! ZIGGER!
>>503375995Until you get hit by a lightning bolt
this guy is also in the discussions, but apparently just a community manager
>>503375886just because ive never had pussy in my 29 years doesnt mean that my opinion is any less than your own, chud.
>>503376158i spent like 15 mins running through the wind/lightning storm anomaly while overencumbered and never got hit once
>>503375598My guess is after they've cut the dub they've had second thoughts (IIRC they tried to sell STALKER 2 via VK Play), but the game progressed far enough they couldn't really backtrack on the dub and make it on-par with the Ukrainian one (time/budget restrains), so they've settled on text only localization for Russian.
NIGGERMAN HELP IM GOING INSANE CRAZY SHIT HAPPENS IN THE RED FOREST IM DYING TO SCHIZOPHRENIA DONT GO TO RED FOREST STALKERS
my favorite part of these threads is all the retards lying about the actual state of the game
>save some dude a few missions back>meet him again>he gives me armor way worse than i got while killing soldiers in the mission just preceding?
>>503375886It used to be that getting a complete, mostly bug-free and fairly optimized game was a standard, not an exception. Gamers simply demand for the industry to stop being a nigger and doing what they've already done before instead of making them lower their expectations more and more while increasing the price tag.
uh, what about 32? double that? or is this setting for each stick of ram in dual channel?
>>503374357>""""A-Life"""" system bugfixesWhat fixes? Working as intended.
>>503376424I got hit once and had 2 close calls. It doesn't kill you but it's a random jump scare, basically
>>503369848what could have been...

>>503377238your eyeball does it automatically, the game shouldnt do it, are you stupid?
>>503377397That's what I meant
>>503376879This is their code for saying A-Life 2.0 exists, but isn't currently in the game. They're calling it 'fixes' for marketing and legal reasons. My guess is that the system they had was breaking so many other things in the game that they had to pull it in order to meet the release deadline, and slapped in this lobotomized, barebones version of it while they worked on the actual A-Life 2.0 system. We're basically bug testers for GSC right now.

OK well after biting the bullet on one of those engine optimization mods, it has helped my input lag (as well as setting vsync to fast on nvidia control panel), definitely didn't help performance in the slightest though

>>503377892you should sue AR Stipe
Just a tip for anyone who doesn't mind cheating a little bit.At Rostok there's an arena sidequest which gives you armor and weapons as part of the fight. The check to take these off you happens after the fight and then also after you open the safe with your equipment in it. If you drop the weapon and armor after leaving the arena, then pick up your gear, then go back and pick up the dropped gear, you can keep it to sell it or just use it
fuck your a-life and repair costs, THIS is what annoys the fuck out of me mostand this is with everything on "epic" quality too
>>503377596Good boy.Made you look bitch.Rookie.
>>503378075increase view distance /lod distance in config.im sure some of the tweak "mods" have an ultra/epic settings config that does this, too

>>503377778>AbobalyNah, it's IWP. You can notice that the game looks actually decent, because the render isn't fucked by vasyans
>>503378231yeah it's because this game has to run on consoles too

>>503378436based IWP chad making anomaly fag look like a dumb idiot
>>503377938It's the only thing that makes any sense. If the system was planned to be like this, or was just the result of bugs, they wouldn't have pulled marketing for it literal DAYS before the game released. If they intended to lie from the beginning, then they wouldn't have been mentioning the system in interviews. This explanation does, however, account for why they didn't have a video showcasing the system: because they couldn't get any stable footage.Mind you, this isn't really cope, because it's good and bad: we'll get it at some point, probably, but it also means that this is SO busted that they couldnt, even after 2 years of delays, figure out how to get it working. Maybe being bug tester will help them figure it out, but I'm betting it'll take a while -- probably whenever the first expansion drops.

>>503377784There is no motion blur on your irl eyes.It was put into games so they look more like movies, which have it because cameras do have motion blur, it's like lens flare.
>>503379142No fucking clue but I'm guessing it has to do with sneaking and maybe not aggroing mutants? Maybe anti A-Life protection? Who knows, I'll put it on my belt since I have nothing better anyway.

The game is a diamond in the rough for me, it's going to take some work to make it perfect, but I've made my peace with that.

>>503380358Yes. I actually think they downgraded its graphics in some update down the line, because I played it first before release in a """beta test""", and it had things like AA method selection, but now it no longer does and only TAA is available that makes shit super blurry, and also several other graphic options are missing.

The weapon selection is also nice although it lacks some classics like the LR-300.You can see the animations in this preview:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXZvZVij7OkLike I said, it adds many more QoL improvements and changes that make it better than anomaly and actually worth a while, if you can stomach playing a freeplay mod.

>>503381623>>503373862it's UP.https://mega.nz/file/kHUCGCjS#XQX1uBk-X9reJ0yfXxUD-cmc0uC0pxRk77H6H7EbOrw
>>503380894me with >>503380947 his left
>>503381261Was it made for a stalker mod like Monolith was? I wasn't aware there would be multiple groups of people willing to program a new engine for stalker.
Blokes more savage than Strelok.
>>503382018seriously, and i mean that, put that shit on the nexus. i want to read comments from other users, i want to know if it contains malware, i want to know if it even works.
>>503382018are you people seriously so shit at video games you need to mod it to be playable, jesus christin unrelated news, NICE find
>>503381625hehe! le ebin anomaly!
>>503382096Nigga, there are like gazillion different xray forks. This is what abobaly does to a mf. Fucking tourists man
>>503382096Tends to happen when people see a cool project in theory ruined by shitty Discord politics and worst takes in history of mankind like Monolith was.
>>503382216>modding QoL and balance fixes to make the games harder and more enjoyable is now frowned upon
Did anyone get an actual quest from Myhka Cowboy to kill the bandits that killed his friends?
>>503382392> make the games harderHA HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH aah hahah ahaadi you fucking read what teh mod does, im not talking older stalker games, i played fucking misery for years not anomaly and gamma baby modes kyseven tho i enjoyed anomaly desu
>>503382197for now its being procured and maintained on gamma discord which has a mods channel, I am just sharing it here for anyone interested.
>>503382018>PM no longer stronger than an AKSoulless slop, I will be using my Skif's Pistol until the end of the game, thank you very much.
Bros I got all the furniture mods and shit for analmeme, any base recommendations for places you can go in and out easily or should i remain in Cordon's village with the rest of the loners.
>>503382709yeah, did you? it fucking lowers spawnrates for items and heals.of course it fixed the retarded, absurd health pools for bloodsuckers,and what about it?it also rebalanced weapons so skifs pistol no longer does more damage than an AK
hmm
>>503382216ah yes the famously playable game, Stalker 2
how the fuck am i supposed to tell the dogs apart in the arena
>>503379063Where'd you find it?
holy shit tactical helmet upgrades cost a shitton of money
>>503380713hmm some different stuff in here
>>503378708well, did you try it yet?
>quest to kill a chimera >in garbage>a fucking chimera>with nothing but a sawn off and akbruh I can barely kill a bloodsucker
>slagheap is supposedly under attack by monolith[/spoiler[>head there to help>nothing happeningok?
>>503383135I managed to drop one with a shitty AK by going full auto on its face, it took like 2 mags.
>>503380065IWP is a modpack for people who like playing games that look and feel like dogshit
Is there any stalker game that has like a single shot rifle (that's good!) like the garand or like Mosin nagant or something line that? I don't like automatic fire at all, it always feels gross to hold down the button and have multiple bullets come out, I want to click once and it only fires once>just tap itNoI dont like the silhouette of magazine fed automatic rifles
>>503383101you can leave out everything after>grass.DensityScale=1if you want. its entirely optional. (disable post processing, remove mouse smoothing).
>>503383291just tap it
Where's the suit in the Garbage people were talking about a couple days ago? I'm finally heading there and I don't want to use the DLC suit I found, but I want a "good" suit I can start putting money into. Also, are there any traders in Garbage that have better prices than Beard? He's been the best so far.
>>503383395NONONONONONOOOOOOOOOOO
>>503383283>modpackDo you even know what it means?
>>503383042Around there, you'll see a blue glowing object near a little mound.
.
game looks similar to goldeneye but runs like shit wtf
>sit down at campfire>everyone immediately gets up and leaveswhat did GSC mean by this bros?
The characters are permanent and they aren't "erased", just add some voice prompts and events happening on the background, increase the spawn distance and mark friendlies on your compass and the game will feel alive.
>>503383547marked one what the heellllllll
Guess i'm putting the game on hold for now. Game is just fucked. Can't proceed with main quest without Zalissya falling instantly. Can't defend Zalissya because no quest procs, the town hall is locked and I can see Monolith inside running back and forth clearly broken that I can't kill (grenades turn into duds and can't shoot them directly).The patch isn't even coming out until next week.Fucking amazing.
>>503383135theres a spas12 in cordon, i didnt go to garbage went south east instead randomly, and got to cordon, you have to repair it tho, also a merc suit and bunch of other stuff
>>503383519>it's MA'AMcall it what you want tranny, it's a compilation of a bunch of different mods/assets from other mods
>>503383662Even if Monolith is on the outside and you kill all of them the quest still fails. It's just fucked.
>>503383662hope you didnt buyed
why are people complaining about performance?? game runs fine 1080 ultra performance dlss everything on low
>>503380728>>503381906thanks, looks nice, I'm gonna give it a go since 2 is unfinished right now
>>503383291s2 doesn't have a fire selector key?
>>503383525Ah. I'll go back later. I'm not in a hurry for it.
>stalker 2 so shit moddb crumbles because everyone is trying to download gamma modscan't stop winning
who thought save limits is a good thing?
>>503383897They refuse to use frame gen
DAAAAAAAMN
>>503383925I meant in any stalker game, I've only played Shadow od Chernobyl, and either way I still think magazine's are ugly
>>503383135y u no use mod to fix fucked mutants?
>>503383897people with 40series expect the game to run at like 100fps without upscaling
>>503382812>he wants to play the game on easy mode with an overpowered oneshot pistolmight as well cheat you fucking nigger
game kinda feels like if you asked infinity ward to make a generic survival cod game so far
>>503383283You can throw your enbs and gay blur mods on yourself zoomer
Reddit is laughing at us...
>>503383757seethe & dilate
>>503384001I recommend keeping the echo with you as well, and keep an eye out for a Hilka detector. Bear's biggest weakness is that it's horizontal only. Echo and Hilka both take into account if an artifact is below or above you.
>>503383980GAMMA brehs...we are saving this franchise....
>>503384013soc has a fire selector button for your ak or whatever and most mods have nuggets but i don't think any of the base games do
>>503383980GAMMA chads prevail once again.
>Doesn't remember where the fuck Rostok isCan someone mark it on the map for me?
>>503383547god that looks like shit
>>503384056>>503383897I have a 4080 super, if this was a fair world, I would be able to run a game with moderately good graphics like this one at 120 FPS at 1440p
>>503383547>>503384272kekaroretards here pay 70 dollarinos for this game lmao
I've never played a Stalker game or mod on anything other than master, but I think I might turn this one down. Stalker used to be balanced great on master, but this is just fucking tedium.
>>503384173I didn't ask for your daily routine buddy
>>503384272>he thought the bullshots were real
>>503384292How's the performance? I'm barely scraping above 60-70 on my 3080 FE.
>>503384360in a sense that it's too hard? I've found it too easy if anything and am basically new to the series
Damn i remember stopping by in this general 2 years ago to talk about Stalker 2 and people here already told me back then that it will be shit
I-is this an anomaly?
>>503384167
>>503384257Nevermind.
>>503383980>gamma violating the terms of service>they let it happen
The only thing I don't like about IWP and CotZ is the bounty hunting missions. More often than not they are in a fucked up spot and get killed by other people before me. Is this possible to tweak in an ltx file?
>>503383547Why didn't Strelok wish for a better hairline?
>>503384439I don't think you've played through the old games on master to really appreciate how good their difficulty balancing is. Stalker 2 is just tedious. Bloodsuckers taking 10+ shotgun blasts to kill is absurd. Stuff like the Agroprom underground would have been near impossible with this kind of balancing. And repair costs are just dumb.
>>503384257it's the really big thing that looks like a town about 2km NW of the N checkpoint
>>503384481I told you 9 years ago
>>503384167you're in the wrong general to be thinking that.
>>503383980IWPsissies... It's over...
>>503384573>le -4 karma pointsYou have been reported.I am not a bot. I am a Volunteer Reddit moderator. I do not have mod powers but my reports are taken seriously and those who get on my bad side tend to get banned in under 24 hours. I have numerous rules, which you may read in my post history, but 1 is the most important rule of all• I am an officer in training, and I expect to be treated the same way I would be with my uniform and badge.Watch your back and get used to this face kiddo, you’ll be seeing a lot of it.
>>503384672I said that im new lol. I only play stalker 1 many years ago for few hours. 20 hours into 2 on veteran and feels very easy.
>>503383425Anyone? I don't want to dig through the archives.
>>503384407I had everything on Epic with framegen on and it was showing about 120 FPS, but it genuinely felt like it was half of that, it was really terrible to play like that.My sweetspot was Epic for everything else but setting shadows and reflections to Low, framegen on, and setting a frame limit cap to 100 on the Nvidia control panel, it's much more playable this way.
I was kinda excited for this game until it dropped, and I realized it was the old game with the gamma mod and an upscaled texture pack. boo womp
>>5033845734 downdootshow is he going to recover
>>503384657He's a slav man, not a tranny.
>>503384923>with the gamma modThat would've been better
>>503384923Unsubscribe
>>503384884framegen is pretty shit in general imo. I've only found it ok in certain games and thats at what would've been 100+ fps anyway.
new peaknot a major improvement from the workdays though, guess stalker community is neets
>>503384923I wish.
they should have anomaly monsters that lure you in with bountiful tits
>>503384923You clearly did not play GAMMA
>>503384819>20 hours into 2 on veteran and feels very easy.Please show yourself fighting 2 bloodsuckers or 2 cats or a single pack of psychic dogs.
>>503384806>>503384962It's even worse than that actually, I'm really scared for his wellbeing, on reddit you automatically thumb up your own post, so to have -4 someone must have gotten him down to zero, there is FIVE chuds out there that did it
>>503385318>link to RT where it says)))))
>>503385318I remember the two bloodsuckers being hard and taking many resets to be fair lol 95% of the game isnt that though
>>503385318having to waste a ton of ammo doesn't make the game hard when you have a million spammable instant full heals
>>503385318>single pack of psychic dogs>packlmao retard
>>503384787How did you see it coming from so long ago lol
>>503383107>>503380713Yes, it seems to have workeded except now this kind of tree seems to pop into fullbright lighting for some reason
What is this stupid armor design?
>>503385568Hank Hill having ahh
>>503385137goddamnit, only 2273 players away from beating Dragon Age Fail Guard by TWICE the player numbers
>>503384884>has enough money for a 4080 Super>doesn't have enough braincells to not run everything on EPICLMAO
>>503385445>95% of the game isnt that thoughYou're a fucking idiot who's ignoring how unbalanced the mutant fights are compared to the old games. Sitting on top of something, jumping down for a second so they rush, and then shooting them and jumping back up is not fun.>>503385463I know, I said it was tedious and poorly balanced but he's calling it very easy which really isn't true.>>503385530One of the dogs summons a single pack on his own, retard. lmao
>>503385628average nvidia user
>>503385628you shouldn't have to jump through such hoops trying to run a game on 4080, it should be just be set to almost-ultra and run 140fps, stop trying to say the game isn't poorly optimized jesus
>>503385628Money and intelligence rarely go hand-in-hand anon, you should know that.
this game is obviously CPU limited. are people these days this retarded?
>defend zalisia mission>completely bugs out spawning enemies and friendlies inside the same building>they cant shoot each other because its a safe zone>i cant shoot them either>dialog doesnt trigger but quest advances anyway>complete quest despite bug>leave to garbage>radio notification>"zalisia has fallen, we are all dead">pic relatedYeah great fucking game GSC.This shit should have been delayed another fucking year.
Is veles really sold at yanov? ive been sleeping to reset trader but they only got bear and hilka
>>503385687calm down anon lmao
>>503383335most of those settings look nice
>>503385687Yes and I'm disagreeing with you and saying it is very easy because you have spammable instant full heals. It is both very easy and also tedious, it doesn't even matter than you have to use a ton of resources to kill a pair of bloodsuckers when the game just gives you piles and piles of meds and ammo in every single shelf and stash.
>>503385568>Shoots one of the explosives>He doesn't blow upI feel scammed
Does anyone know how to deal with the owl mutant? Shit is annoying as fuck.
>>503385628The issue here is that the game is pumping "120 FPS" but it runs like 60 FPS on a console connected to a television due to dreadful frame times
>>503385568Ukrainian Jetpack
>>503385832It's bugged for everyone.After SIIRCA the game becomes an unplayable devbuild.
>>503385878You're a fucking retardlol>>503385915Saying it's easy because you can hide in a corner and spam heals is like saying every RPG ever is easy because you can grind in a low level area until you're overpowered.
>>503385687>One of the dogs summons a single pack on his own>summons a packDo you actually not know or are you just pretending?
>>503386136If these are the limits of your critical thinking skills, I can see why you're struggling so much with the game. If you need any help, I don't mind coaching you over discord for a fee.
>>503385568what about it is stupid?looks good to me
They should release a hard-core survival difficulty level, or better yet, implement a configuration menu for difficultly like Anomaly has and like Bethesda did for Starfield
>>503385563looks fine to me, but remove the post processing commands if you added them, it may be lack of AO.
>>503385832Not just you don't worry. The game seems to break at a fundamental level after the alpha experiment.
good news guys
>>503386464two more weeks
>Do a simple fetch quest for 450 koopins>Spend almost triple that in ammo and medkits just fighting my way there and backthere's got to be a better way, why do these fucking dogs tank multiple blasts of 12 gauge? why is this fucking teleporting invisible cunt immune to bullets? If I turn it up to the highest difficulty, do things get easier to kill like in the old games?
Metro
>>503386136After reading your posts I realize that you're right, it probably isn't very easy for you lmao
It's been like 5 years but i'm reinstalling CoP and Anomaly while I wait for the quest issues to get patched. Can I just play Anomaly standalone or do people put any specific mods on top?
>>503386291I never added those. Weird shit, traded one kind of pop-in for another.
>>503386558I legitimately don’t understand how S2 is 160GB and somehow looks worse
>>503386880something to do with talent I imagine
>>503386249I can't tell if you're an ESL thinking you have a gotcha moment, or if you haven't encountered the kinds of dogs I'm talking about yet. Either way, you're an idiot.
Has anyone noticed when you're getting brain fucked the game will sometimes spawn in very real guns into your inventory? This happened for a second time and included an endgame bolt action and an rpk.
>>503386705You may as well put gamma on then toggle and tweak what you don't wantOr try IWP like anons said earlier for closer to vanilla
>go into sphere>kill a dozen mutant hamsters from above>go down>kill another dozen hamstersIs this meant to be obnoxious or some weird teaching moment that you’re supposed to cheese enemy ai by positioning?
Fought my first burerChrist I'm dreading the pseudogiant and chimera now
>>503386085Does this mean I shouldn't progress past the point where you need to sleep in the SIRCAA bed?
>>503386705Anomaly is fine on its own. If you want to add shit to it, just get gamma. Gamma is anomaly but with 400+ mods on top of it. Both are entirely customizable so if you don't like some aspect, you can tweak it. You also don't need to install CoP to get anomaly going, just dl anomaly and it will be standalone.
>>503386963It's not a pack of dogs you stupid retard. It's one real mutant dog that spawns illusions. Sorry I guess I had to spell it out. It's not a pack of dogs and you not realising this explains a lot about your other skill issues (lack of mental capacity)
>>503386264>If these are the limits of your critical thinking skillsThe game isn't very easy because you have less than no value for your time and spend fights mashing whatever button you have heals mapped to while crouching behind cover during every single fight. Most games allow you to break them through some form of cheese. That doesn't make them easy. Is that simple enough for you or would you like to make another shitpost and pretend you actually have a point while avoiding actually saying it because you know you're too fucking stupid to actually articulate it and argue?
>>503386543I think its mostly just the bloodsuckers that take too many hits. The flesh seems fine (3 rounds of buckshot). Dogs aren't too bad (1 round of buckshot, sometimes 2).I'm playing on Stalker difficulty.
>>503386880S2 is bigger.And needs more room to store all the classic jank.
Can't believe I have to hold off on playing this for like 4 years for it to be modded kino
>>503387158Pretty much until it's patched.
>>503387201>It's not a pack of dogs you stupid retard. It's one real mutant dog that spawns illusions.It's still a pack, you fucking idiot. Even though they're illusions it's still a group of dogs that attack you.
are the other games worth playing nowadays? I find this kind of bland and soulless, so far
>>503386085>>503386415Is EVERY mission after Alpha bugged then?
>>503387219>pressing the heal button is cheesing the gameyou're a dumb nigger
>90% of the patch steam discussions is performance complaintsdo you think they regret picking UE5
>>503387396You know you only have to shoot the real one right?
>>503387432Yeah.
>>503387427Of course they are.
>>503387453>stockpiling 30 medkits for each encounter and mashing heal every time you catch a bullet isn't cheesing the gameYou're like a nigger mixed with a chink and an indian.
>>503387463As long as everyone played 2 hours I don’t think they care
>>503386880>>503386558If this game had been done on the Metro engine or on EFT's version of Unity it would have been better
so uhgame good?
I burn several medkits almost every single fight unless I cheese enemy AI
>>503387670game alright
>>503387470You know you're still fighting multiple dogs, right?
>>503387396It's literally not a pack of dogs. It's a singular enemy. Shooting the others does nothing. Very bold of you to call anyone an ESL when you butcher the meaning of a very simple word so badly.
>>503387603If the game hands them out like candy and let’s you full heal every 2 seconds that isn’t cheesing the game, it’s poor game balance.
>>503386880>Linear experience with small "open world" maps where everything is scripted and handcraftedNo idea, anon.The one thing Metro has is that its the only game that has full RT that looks and performs amazingly. But their engine is some arcane proprietary shit, sadly.
I wish Stalker had likeGIANT creaturesLike strider sized or like the like stompers in Into The Radius or likw thw really really big BT from Death StrandingI was disappointed when I learned the Psuedogiants were just like kinda large monsters. Yes I know thw AI would bug out
>>503387603>noooo! you have to wait for the enemies to kill you! nooo stop you're not allowed to use core game mechanics! it's haaard!
>>503387706I have like 80 medkits in my storage and over 100 bandages
Where's the closest bed/stash box once you reach the Garbage? I need to drop shit off and don't want to go back to the lesser zone.
>>503386543if you turn up the difficulty repair costs go up and rewards go down
>>503387432I am doing side content while avoiding Zalissya and it seems kind of fine desu
Its so easy to insta headshot all the AIthese gun fights are so boring
>>503387603Did you even play SoC or CoP? There's not even a fucking animation to slow you down with spamming meds in them.
>>503387706I have so many medkits and bandages that I purposefully waste them Haven't even done the first main quest
What changes is grok making to the repair system of gamma in 2 weeks however
>>503387936I forgot where exactly but theres on not far from the trader guy
>>503387775>Shooting the others>the othersThe other what, anon? If the answer is "dogs" then it turns out you're a fucking retard trying to make a misguided argument based on the incorrect idea that illusion dogs (that can still hurt you) don't count as a pack.
>>503387985Yeah and it was shit design back then too
>>503387634>minecraft shadowsnot the best example desu and the horrendous performance on that new map makes me think otherwise
>>503387959please be joking
>>503386848oooh. that could be just how the max lod version of the tree looks like, and its not meant to switch to that LOD until you are really close. try lowering foliage.LODDistanceScale to 3 or 2.
god damn even redditards have stopped huffin copium
>>503386705depends, if you want to add weapons/animations/etc get GAMMA since it comes preconfigurated with all that shit(it's a massive fucking mess to do fix those manually)
>>503387670game misses the most important thing that made stalker stalker, so no game trash
>>503388168haha
>>503387780>>503387846This game is so*uses medkiteasy*uses another medkitThe enemies really aren't that strong*unequips armor because it's too expensive to fix and uses a bandageand a single hit doesn't kill you*finds a box to stand on to spam medkits while mutants run aroundso the fights can't be hard*avoids cats entirely because standing on top of a box and spamming medkits doesn't work against themsince you can just heal*gets stunlocked by a charging bloodsucker and dies anyways
What if Strelok had asked Wish Granter for a gf (alive) (female)?
>>503387775Youre almost as retarded as the retard you talk toWho the fuck cares if only one is real? You still kill them one bullet each to find the real one and to not fucking get bitten to death unless you spot the dog before he sees youThere are zero enemies in early x16 except slowly moving illusions and you still need to shoot them or you fuckin die by your psi dropping to 0
What's a deadzone?
>>503387634>tarkov >looks like shit>runs like dogshit>no proper lighting, everything is fucking dark>shadows are fucking pitchblack during bright sunlight>movement inertia like a drunk truckdriver not a trained mercenary>muh tedium = fun>"you should suffer if you play this game">only cancer fetch this, kill that many ais questsKYS nikita, KYS tarkovboomers
>>503387985Yes, and SoC was balanced really well until you got to the final section of the game and spammed medkits and bandages while fighting more Monolith soldiers than exist people in all of the Ukraine and Russia put together.
why THE FUCK is an emission killing me inside of a solid building? I have tried everything from using a rad suit to taking psi pills and every time I just start dying. I dont want to reload a save from an hour ago to just try not get caught in the area im in.
>>503373862if you use that you didn't beat the game
>Can throw grenades through windows to blow up locked doorsholy shit, I didn't think it'd work considering the other jank
how come the game just looks kind of ass? I've just put it in 4k native all epic and it looks jittery with a ton of shimmering and overly sharpened even at 0% sharpen
>>503388452The A-Lifeless setting for STALKER 2.
>>503388352Unironically kill yourself my man. You are awful at this game and you might try something simpler like bingo.
Based
>>503388352I'm sure the game is very very hard for you, its ok anon everyone plays at their own pace. There are mods to make it easier for you too!
>>503388571its just an unreal asset flip made by assblasted hoholsits over
>>503388579Huh?
refundedi will buy it if A-Life gets a proper implementation but this feels like a Cyberpunk 2077 type of launch and it does not fuck
>>503388553Yeah that was one of the best moments for me and something that gives me hope for either patches or mods. The framework and map of S2 are great.
>>503388571You need one of the upscaling solutions to provide antialiasing regardless. If you can do DLAA go with that
>>503388548>if you didn't beat the game in its terrible vanilla condition you didnt beat itnoone cares, nigger.
>>503388654Do you have a link so some of the mods that decrease the difficulty?

>>503387979play a ubislop game if you want bullet sponges, retard
>>503388584>>503388654Did me telling you that you're not actually good at the game hurt you enough for you to use a couple of medkits? No one has trouble beating fights if they spam medkits. It's just boring and tedious to play that way. High risk high reward gameplay is much more fun, and the original games were great about that. You should actually try playing through them on master mode some time.
>>503386880because you're blind
>>503388827tons of AAA games are releasing in shit statesgames are just too big and unwieldy
>>503369848Anyone experiencing major memory leaks and crazy RAM consumption in general? My game is basically a ticking time bomb waiting to slap me across the face with an OOM crash. And a few hours ago I had it completely freeze up when reloading a save in Zalissya, my PC became unresponsive and I had to reset it. I'd be willing to put up with all the other bullshit if there wasn't the risk of having my computer bricked present. Playing with 16 GB o' RAM on mostly low. I'm also using the performance increase mod, maybe it contributes to this shitfest.
>>503388730It was a joke alluding to the fact that the Zone, and thus the gameplay, in STALKER 2 is dead, because there's no A-Life system.
Are emissions scripted or random? They feel off to me
>>503388512>>looks like shitlooks better than Stalker 2>>runs like dogshitruns better than Stalker 2>>no proper lighting, everything is fucking darkbetter than Stalker 2, where the outdoors looks like a supernova when you're exiting a building>>shadows are fucking pitchblack during bright sunlightbetter than Stalker 2>>movement inertia like a drunk truckdriver not a trained mercenaryrealistic movement>>muh tedium = funyes>>"you should suffer if you play this game"you suffer more playing Stalker 2>>only cancer fetch this, kill that many ais questsits not a story-based game
>>503389069Both. Some are scripted to happen during certain points in the main quest, some are random.
>>503388352then what are you crying about?
>>503389069there's a scripted one after a main mission and then they're random with a long cooldown
>>503388979we will need at least 1 year for mods and the lazy pigkrainians to even fix the gameplay more Shadow of Chornobyl mods until then
>>503388263>consolefagsyeah nobody cares
>>503389104>looks betterlooks like dogshit even for 2010 standards>runs betterever played streets? runs like absolute dogwank. tarkov with the scale or level of detail that Stalker 2 has would run at 10 fps.>lighting betterlighting in the tarkov is the worst of any modern game ive ever seen>drunk truck driver movement is realistickill yourself!>yes, tedium is funkill yourself!
why did anon lie about grenades destroying padlocks for doors? Why would they come onto 4chan just to spread misinformation?
>>503389181That's it's not as well balanced as the older games. How is it possible to not understand that?
>>503389407it's russian bots looking to cause divide in the west. don't listen to them
>>503388786>no aa without upscalinganon please
>>503388937>No one has trouble beating fights if they <use the game mechanics the devs put in the game>So you admit it's very easy? And tedious? Like I said in my original post?>high risk high reward gameplay is much more funYeah, I agree which is why having instant full heal meds is not good design. Any easy game can be hard if you just don't use any of the mechanics. Check this one out: turn your monitor off for extra extra hard mode! I swear you have the reading comprehension and short term memory of a brain damaged toddler.
Do I need to guess?
>>503389407He didn't. I've done it.
Two more weeks until the discussion stabilizes then?
Why did they release this on consoles? It has too many buttons for a controller.
>>503389354I careit's truly ovyr if yven the most cumguzzling parts of the stalker fanbase are pissed
>>503389451thats not what you posted, faggot
>>503389690for more sales?
>>503389681I've just threw 10 or so grenades at the other side of a padlocked door and nothing happened
>>503389574If you're at native resolution it's not upscaling it's using the same tech to smooth out the jaggies. That's why it's called DLAA (Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing) instead of DLSS (Deep Learning Supersampling.)
>>503389770Did it work?
>>503389648>So you admit it's very easy?If you're play like a faggot who doesn't value his time in the least, sure. Normal people don't play like that.>Any easy game can be hard if you just don't use any of the mechanics. Check this one out: turn your monitor off for extra extra hard mode! Taking something to an illogical absurd extremity isn't an argument. Trying to liken not spamming a mechanic to literally shutting your monitor off doesn't do anything other than highlight what a fucking retard you are.
>play for half an hour>die>ragequit and punch myself in the face for 5 minutesDid I beat the game?
>run into poi>poltergeist>instantly run back out
>>503389663Last part of the code is on a recruit that wandered off into a different structure.Read the fucking notes zoomie.
>>503389763>thats not what you posted, faggot>>503388937>It's just boring and tedious to play that way. High risk high reward gameplay is much more fun, and the original games were great about that.>>503388520>SoC was balanced really well
where the lumens at? i thought this engine lights up rooms with BOUNCING light
>>503389756all console fags and consoles could be wiped off the face of the planet, forever, and everyone would be way way way way way better off in many different forms.its a wonder why we haven't done it already.
this game would be a lot better if the devs did a better job with it
>>503389690It doesn't even work well on controller, they could have made it work better, without even needing hold key actions It's bad design not consoles
>>503388979runs fine on 16gb ram and 12gb vramprobably plenty of swapping to ssd but who cares
>>503390020What notes??
Anons, whats the best way to mod up for a vailla-ish revisit for SOC? OGSR + some gfx mods?
>>503390053This, but with jews
>>503389908No you beat a retard.
>>503389790I don't know what to tell you. I opened the door in the burnt farmstead at the Cordon (with the generator in it) by using a grenade to blow up the lock from the other side.
>>503389824read it again retard>>503390034I accept your concession.
>>503390053This is a cope in 2024. Modern devs can't code for shit and choose ridiculous engines and graphical demands over anything else. You can blame consoles for no A Life all you like but you are coping and defending a man who will biu another lambo and laugh at you
>>503389790>>503390218I did the same and also for a door in Zaton
>>503389862yes

>>503390895proof?
Retard wants to talk but the fucking bunker door wont open. Really incredible shit. I might be done with this dogshit fucking game. This is insulting.
>>503384001What's with this fucking League of Legends UI artstyle?
>>503391178You basically can't fight mutants head on anymore on Veteran and will always need to find something to jump on. You can sidestep a single bloodsucker or flesh if you get the timing down, but more than 1 and you're done.
>>503387019it's not cheesing. that's how you're supposed to fight mutants when there's too many of them. they are coded to hide when they can't reach you because otherwise it would be stupidly easy to kill them while they bark at you or whatever.
>>503391334League has a really good UI
>>503391279also one calling us failed modders or something
>>503391051>>503391279It’s true. They call literally everything a flop. And when game doesn’t get talked about for 10 nanoseconds it’s considered forgotten.https://youtu.be/u9MpsAftCDk?si=fQRY89ACo2JS71yH

>actually manage to steathily assassinate roosevelt and escape without being seenthat's a first in a stalker game
>>503391854I couldn't be more disappointed.
>>503384923it's SoC with no a-life and a weapon modpack. mechanically inferior but the gunplay is decent
>>503391564Well STALKER 2 definitely isn't a flop, but dear Lord is it a spectacular mess. It's always entertaining to watch. You know, much like Cyberpunk 2077. Wasn't a flop, was a mess, was fun to watch.
>>503391854Shot this guy in the head the second I saw him
>you routinely get hit for 70% of your hp>but with death prevention system you can usually just facetank most fights>you probably need to unless you can cheese ai/reliably dodge because mutants are made out of steelI don’t like this. Maybe a mod to quadruple hp then nerf medkits and make them heal slowly over time? So you can still take a few hits that now almost kill you but you cant take 10 of those hits in a rowI guess it would make for a less dangerous game and youd need to tweak anomalies as well but… well its not like there is any actual punishment to dying, you just reloadIt would also make all those resistance, bleed etc artifact effects more useful because as is it doesnt matter if sucker hits you for 75 or 60% because you still die/fall into death prevention state in 2 hits
>>503391854It’s good. Has some flaws but that’s eurojank for you. Hopefully mods fix the biggest issues like niggers being in the game
>>503391806>le buzzwords!!1okay shitter
>>503391854I'm hardlocked in main quest and my save is bricked essentially.I'm playing CoP with gunslinger instead.

>>503382216If you don't realize this game was made by incompetent fucking retards that have zero idea of balance or game flow you might be legitimately retarded there bud. The second half of this game plays like it wasn't play tested AT ALL

dw bros wonder-patch is coming
>>503392284This is one thing I don't understand. I can forgive all the bugs and A-Life because it's complicated and these guys have nothing to do with the previous team that made the first game.But did nobody play this crap for like 10 min and say 'wow, a bloodsucker needing 20 buckshots in the face is kinda stupid'? This is basic, simple shit that takes like 30 minutes to edit
Been up and down, but overall I'm enjoying it even though it's missing the wow factor that the originals had for me. The new engine and world have some really cool stuff with new physics interactions and anomalies like the bulba, but they really need to fix performance, balance, and get a-life working for real. That would make it surpass the originals completely. As it is, I'm probably going to play through it once if it stays in the state it's in and then hope for some interesting mods.
>>503392443Any mention of fixing Zalissya softlock?

>>503392528The game is unplayable after 1/3 of the story for most people.No one playtested the game and microsoft probably rushed the release.
Are emissions tied to story progression or do they happen at random?
>>503391301You can mod in the ue5 dev tools to make the console actually work and no clip through the door. It's not really important any way, you can skip it.
I've been using this piece of shit, gets the job done
>>503392865wouldn't catch me dead in that piece of shit
>>503392837They happen at random after one point in the main quest, but the delay between them happening is really long for some reason.
I'm seriously and pleasantly surprised the game is as good as it is all things considered. I really hope they continue working on it hard.
Argued with someone who said that being disappointed that the game completely changed its game systems is retarded grumbling and being resistant to change because obviously a sequel would be different and that I'm just complaining about other people having fun. I feel out of touch and probably am in the wrong but>"Gatekeep your interests>What? No, I mean gatekeep the surface level aesthetics>Let me change the actual thing itself fundamentally, that's fine, that's different."

Well looks like that's it for me boys. I got the bug where your fps drops to single digits and after trying multiple fixes, which for a time seemed to work, it's now completely fucked. Really nothing else I can do. I could load from earlier saves and it might allow me to progress but honestly I'm done. Hopefully they fix this shit soon but I doubt it.

Ok I can somewhat confirm that what this does is make mutants not aggro you from a mile a way, you can walk up real close to them before they attack you. It's not really something I would call useful but I guess it's better than nothing if you have extra slots. The one you get from the Bubble of Hell is a lot better.

Might just dick around in the starter areas for a bit then wait until this is fixed. There's promise, but Microsoft made them prioritize shit like fully voice acting everything rather than on making the Zone feel radiant and alive like the original trilogy

>>503396925no need for binokles bro when graphic so good))) you no see stalker becose realistic weather effect block view))))
>>503396631>I thought the gamma discord was based
>>503397046The preorder/deluxe stuff is spread out in stashes over the entire map and they're just reskins of regular items, so don't worry it doesn't put in in your inventory at the start or anything.
>>503387803>But their engine is some arcane proprietary shit, sadly.It's literally built off XRay.
>>503397102Why do you even have discord? Sounds like you're part of the problem
>>503396631he's not wrong. prove A-Life is not in the game.
>>503397307They're not even any better than their normal variants, too. You can find unique variants of weapons in normal, base-game stashes that are better than them. The only even slightly over powered thing is being able to find an AR-15 in Lesser Zone, but none of the traders sell ammo for it there, so it's really not useful.
Anybody do labs yet? Are they as cool *and spooky) as in previous games?
>no gaming wiki it's over
>>503397367a-life is not in the game. a-life 2.0 is just a proximity spawner. they'll just extend the rage a bit and then maybe make spawned NPCs remain longer when out of rendering distance
nerf Arishem already
>>503397367You can prove that by trying to prove that it is in the game, nigger.
they bring you out here and the closest place that you can get to is either sultansk or icarus. why do they do this?
why isn't stalker 2 exactly like modded anomaly with updated graphics?

>>503397726update: i just died to radiation right outside of slag heap
>>503397591a-life 1.0 is just a big proximity spawner u idiot
Please tell me how to reduce the draw distance beyond the lowest option in the settings, I really do not need the ability to see tress 1km away, I'd rather have higher FPS.
>>503397724because of unreal shit 5>>503397820>being this retarded
Does anyone have a few hundred quid they can give me? I want a 1440p oled monitor.
>Zalyssia defense and lodchenko bug softlocks the game>Only fix is to use UE tools and kill everything with console commands>You lose the village anyway if you do itWhelp, time to quit playing until a patch drops.
>>503397041can you put a scope on that weapon?
Its cool
>>503397820no the hell it is not you retard
>>503397724Because that's not STALKER
I've just thought of a jokeStalker 2
>>503398129its what the people wanted, thats clear
>>503397943>>503398109its literally just a proximity spawner the size of the map

>>503398496lol I unironically feel ya
>>503398423People can and will mod that to their hearts contentI'm happy it's very faithful to how they made the vanilla games
I kinda realized there is zero companion missions where you're accompanied by another stalker.Which is like the second task in SoC
>>503398496/k/'s dedication is admirable but that doesn't mean they can game design
>>503397041>gucci as valHow does it compare to the normal version?
>>503397724kys
Cool, too bad it's kind of fucking useless.
>even the gamma shitcord says a-life is just broken and not absentoh no no no doomerbros?
>>503398648The companions would despawn
>>503398612me too, I'm just trolling
>>503398692didnt the devs literally confirm this?
>>503397249no, i don't think i will :) you can have this though, shitter
>>503398692Gamma is the modpack that forces you to reduce A-Life to have a more Misery-like experience, in that pos Warfare mode doesn't even work, what they call "A-Life 2.0" is the shitty spawner and that's it.
What is Gamma
>>503399067a bloated shit mod that children play because it's free
>big spawner>npcs with schedules>remember their locations between loadings thats a-life, its easy to tweak the current shit into behaving the same way
>>503399067a mod that made the base game good
>>503399067Anomaly modpack that’s for the most part stable
>>503398769>they would never lie to me>>503398692the same shitcord that bans you for mentioning it?
>>503398439except you can literally follow stalkers somewhere and then walk away and you can find them again later on. they might have moved but they are still the same stalkers.
>>503399067it was the anomaly before anomaly

Hello, /sg/. As someone who has only played the base games, what mods would you recommend? I'm not looking for anything in particular though I would appreciate a mod that improved the graphics and animations as well as the enemy AI. I have been hearing about mods like Anomaly, Anomaly Custom, Gamma, Expedition, Misery. What are the differences between these and which ones are recommended? The mod guide didn't seem to have details on all these.
>>503399604I'm retarded i literally forgot about that after 3 days of playing.
>>503399617>Vindictusbased
>>503399361its not schizophrenic, retard. companies are getting bolder with lying straight to your face because of brainlets like you.
>finally got an endurance artifact
>>503399812if they lied then people wouldnt buy their products
>>503399812And the earth is flat
>>503399865yeah, people increasingly arent>>503399878shill nigger, pls kys
>>503399067a piece of shit
>>503394007Why does it keep getting deleted? Is it a Discord only mod or some retarded shit?
>>503395731>the issue is UEIt's really not.
>Red FortressCan I actually get into this thing or is it Main Mission locked?
w-what if we kissed in the sleepy poppy field?
>>503399067Its a modpack that is trying its best to recreate Misery in Anomaly's engine>>503399696If you want a vanilla-like mod play OGSR, if you want sandbox play Anomaly
I like GAMMA
>>503400120What is Misery
>>503399067Anomaly, gamma, CoC based mods are the endgame of Stalker for veterans who have been playing since the beginning, done every game dozens of times through both vanilla and every overhaul mod. You have no business playing it IMO if you still have either a game or overhaul you've not played through, it is there for more, to eternally live in the zone shitposting forever
Redownloaded anomaly for a simple playthrough and the smoothness of combat there in comparison to 2 is so bizzare.>get into fight with bandits>they are using shitty bandits with shitty rifles and their aim reflects that>landing a few shots is a death sentence and you can watch them bleed out in real time>Flesh and boars are much more deadly but also much more vulnerableIt just makes me realise how absurd 2's systems are. Why can I stand in the middle of a firefight spamming heals and have zero ill effects? Why is every group pinpoint lethal at every range except melee?
>>503400120I'm okay with anything. I'm just looking for the mod that makes the most meaningful additions to STALKER in graphics, AI, bugs, animations, weapons, gameplay, etc.
>>503400427What's the mod that adds infinite freeplay with the faction wars like Call of Pripyat like kind if mount and bladesy type sandbox, is that Gamma?
>>503399067Gamma is fun.
>>503400735>>503400427I meant to say Clear Sky sorry
>gammaoff-topic, fuck off
>>503400313I don't remember gamma's UI looking so bad
>>503399158not the same thing
>>503400735Call of Chernobyl is a standalone game as you describe, Anomaly is built on top of CoC and adds a bunch of items and features from the Misery mod for Call of Pripyat to CoC. Gamma is a modpack with an automated installer on top of Anomaly.
>>503400876>>503370226
>>503394778Rightfully so
>find exoskeleton>great stats>cant sprint in itFUCKING WORTHLESS
You have no idea how bad this game is until you reach about 30 hours in, the game legitimately starts to fall apart.
>>503401006Is there one you reccomend if I have autism and tend to be the type of person that just latches onto whatever Overhaul mods I tend to play first and so "Try them all" wouldn't work?
>>503398670>>503398098ill test it when i get back from my artifact hunt trip. i found a kind of easter egg artifact but i wont spoil
>>503400735Warfare, an option in Anomaly and Gamma you can turn on does that
>>503401080Tell me more. I'm about 6 hours in according to my save. Skif just got interrogated by the Ward commander and the guy in the black suit.
>>503401224just try Anomaly and see if that's something you're into
how do i stop the gradual radiation from artifacts? the film grain shit is annoying as hell
>>503401538Find artefacts that remove rads to counteract it.
>>503401224I guess try Anomaly and if you like that you'll probably prefer gamma but if you don't then you can go more vanilla with IWP or just CoC with addons.
>>503401538equip artifacts with -rad or use armor with lead-lined container upgrade
>>503401326Toward the late game after a huge sequence, the game softlocks due to multiple bugged main story quests.
>>503401538either lead container upgrades on your armor or other artifacts that cancel out the radiationyou aren't really meant to wear irradiated ones all the time
>>503401326Shit just starts to randomly break, there's main objective quests that require you to enable to console through a mod to noclip through a door that wont open, saves that randomly put you back in the game without being able to move or access your inventory, forcing you to close the game and restart it to make it work again if you are lucky. Main quest tasks turn into a slog of spamming med kits end to end between reloads. One of the boss fights is so bad it leaves you wondering if anyone even bothered to play it to see how bad the experience is. I'm going to finish my playthrough to see how it ends, and then i'm probably not going to touch this game for an entire year. It's that fucking bad right now. This game should not have been released in the state it's in.
I don't want to send (You)s to everyone because it will feel like spamming, nut think you everyone
anyone know what to do with the key you get from the safe mound
this dude is cooked
>>503401326You're there after six hours? 12 hours in I think I'd just left the lesser zone.
I basedfaced when I had to sneak through a new bloodsucker lair in Zaton
>>503396631A-life is in the game, the definition of it has just changed, chud :)
How the fuck do I deal with archives like this?Is setting my system to Russian locale the only way?
I love this game unironically, yes it can be improved and yes it will be improvedI can't stop playing, 30 hours in and still so much more to see and do, I can't put it down!
Anyone remember the autist on reddit that talked about spending 100 hours in the Cordon? I think he'd love STALKER 2.
Does anyone know how to get inside the part of the building you need to find the last 2 digits of the safe code in Garbage/Rostok to the north? I got 57 and 26 but I can't get into the kitchen which is where I'm assuming the last 2 digits are.
>>503401936soulless>>503401951soul
If you are going to ignore how bad the state of the game is, i highly advise you to install some QOL mods for carry weight, item durability, and stamina. It becomes really obvious that no one with a functioning brain play tested this shit and it's an absolute slog of tedium for the second half of the game. There's points where you won't have access to a repair without traveling half way across the map.
>>503396605>just sold mineIt's fucking over
cant even accept the quest to defend zalissya
>save file imploded because I caught a hard crash during an auto-save>reddit guide helpedNice. Don't panic if you have this issue. Just make a new save in a new slot, skip the intro and save whennyou hop the fence and get control. Navigate to the spot where your saves are kept and copy the new save data's filename onto the old one and delete/rename the new data to avoid conflicts. Try loading that save. Repeat if the save doesn't work.
>>503402342jsut use a modpack at this point>>503393656
>Duty and Mercs randomly turned hostileOkay??
>>503397046Guys I just started playing...everything feel odds, the character move oddly the inventory Is strange and so are the Xbox controls.And i Just Met this bug...I...I fear I May have done a mistake.
>>503402204Pretty sure you can install a language locale to your windows without selecting it, but yeah that is why the file names break.
does veteran reduce quest rewards? i only got ~800 coupons from a quest that i just read is supposed to give ~2000
>>503385137road to 50k bros...
anyone knows a soc mod that adds tons of weapons and enemies while keeping it vanilla?vanilla in both gameplay and in graphics if possible, i like soc's old 2000s textures i tried some soups and found them tedious op 2.2 reminds me of sierra's old adventure games, you pretty much have to use a guide to play it, not my thingstalkersoup was more tolerable but it still had those survival mechanics that just doesn't fit the game, i broke my leg just by dropping down from the warehouse roof in cordon, idk who thought that was a good idea

>>503403832The second someone translates Enhanced Edition 1.2 I'll jump ship and give Stalker 2 the middle finger.
>>503401736>after a huge sequence,How many hours in would be said sequence?>>503401884>This game should not have been released in the state it's in.Agreed. If shit is so broken early-game, I'm really not looking forward to the late-game problems that you're describing.I wanna replay the game with better hardware later down the line since there's multiple endings and quest branches. Hopefully performance will improve by then as well. So far it's been abysmal.>>503402008>12 hours in I think I'd just left the lesser zone.Yeah, it feels like I played for longer but that's what my save says.
weapon sway sucks ass
>>503402204Seems like an encoding issue. Happened all the time when you encoded code-page 1251 text as Unicode back in the day. Try saving these name files in a Windows-1251 encoded text file and then converting it to UTF-8 with Notepad++.

man I love being in great swamps again, one of my favorite maps from the originals and they did a good job with it in 2
Gee, Skif. How come Bubba lets you have TWO PDAs?
this game is so fucking BORING holy shit why did they make it open world if all it meant is long treks across the vast emptiness
