Note to all stalkers:Stop wishing for a more lively thread. It did not work before, it isn't working now, it won't work in the future.
>>550022574Haven't played stalker since I played SoC as a teen but this mod is making me want to revisit it and play the others too.
>>550022874I wish for a thread without the schizobot.

Is xrMPE safe? Feels sketchy running a Russian .exe install file.
>>550024179That's right goy. It is Russian, so it is bad!!!! Nevermind the actual mods they gave us or the AP-PRO thread anons were having, fuck all of it.All Russians do is rape, murder, and destroy. That's right.
>>550024820>>550024179If they didn't do anything, the only mods we would have are anomaly and Gamma. How does that make you feel, faggot? Like it or not, the majority of actual mods come from that sphere, because it is theirs
>>550024179why would that bother you (it's safe)China already has your data
>>550024820So you're saying you've downloaded it and tried the Steam integration without getting your account hacked?
>>550024179Run it through VirusTotal if you're concerned, and use your best judgement. It's outlandish, but I wouldn't put it past the Russians to burn a 0-day trying to snipe some gamers via spiked executables (as the replies to your post show, they *are* getting desperate).
>>550022574How do I get vanilla SoC with full Ukrainian voice overs? Also does the current GOG version need patching for bugfixes or am I good?
>>550023183>next thread will be infested with meat schizos insteadYou know, how about we just stop wishing entirely.
>>550028623Is that one too many?
>>550029725I got the same result, so it isn't a transient. That said, one out of 72 is likely a false positive. I hate to say "it's up to you", but if you feel comfortable taking the risk then it is probably (*PROBABLY*) safe. Just keep an eye out for anything weird and make sure you run a/v scans every now and again (note: you should be doing this anyways).
grok won
>>550028703>with full Ukrainian voice oversYou won't get a "full" voiceover, because even in Ukrainian localisation a large number of characters still speak in russian.If you want your game to be in English but with Ukrainian voices, you can just install a regular version of SoC and put the voiceover files in your game folder. You won't get any subtitles in the game, though.https://mega.nz/folder/sQUC2byS#wHrD47u9DAETiNtQIm7DhQ>does the current GOG version need patching for bugfixes or am I goodThe game works mostly fine on the latest patch, but if you really want to, you can install ZRP.

>>550035063So is this packed with the IWP weapons? Is it even in English? Wanted to replay SoC and would be interested in trying this if it adds some new guns rather than it just being an engine upgrade
>>550044412never played metro in my life
>>550034021>The game works mostly fine on the latest patchIt took me just 2 hours to get a complete softlock in SoC EE. First, the doors in the Yantar's research lab randomly decided to not open.

>>550022574Do I keep playing Clear Sky my Lord?I'm not enjoying it despite liking SoC quite a bit. The weapons seem much weaker and less accurate, enemies feel more bullet spongey, human encounters are cancer because of grenade spam. The fact most of the map is recycled doesn't help either: the sense of exploration and mystery of the first game isn't there anymore because of it. They removed energy drinks for who knows what reason, they were useful, detection bar seems to be gone too unless in my retardation I missed it somewhere. What is even the point of this game, it feels like an actual low effort cashgrab just to squeeze that couple more rubles out of people.I'm past the point where those bandits spring a trap on you and steal your shit but have been fighting off the urge to quit the game entirely almost from the beginning, something about CS just isn't clicking with me. I don't know boss, does it get "good" eventually? Maybe I just don't "get" CS

>>550047929Anon-kun that guy ain't me, it's someone else copy pasting bits of my post. Someone's AI bot training ain't going too good, weird choice to be doing that on a STALKER general but hey ho what will you do
>>550047929I blame Sseth that fucking traitor

>>550048173They tried to report it even in IRC but mods dont care. Some mf said that mods or grape got paid off about it and at this point im inclined to believe it its been a fuckimg godsamn week of it. Even anons reporting it get warned instead. What the fuck???????
>>550045798Oh, I was talking about the original SoC, not the Enhanced Edition. I would not recommend EE to anyone, not in its current state, at least.>the doors in the Yantar's research lab randomly decided to not open.That could be because Kruglov or a random zombie got inside the airlock and bodyblocked the door, that happened to me a few times in the original.Technically, you don't really need to do Sakharov's quests to complete the game. If you manage to kill Kruglov/Semenov with a lucky grenade throw from outside (the blast damage goes through walls), you can pick up the helmet from his body and it will still protect you from the Brain Scorcher.

I mean, just look at all the autists playing freeplay mods over and over, that use those same maps.>They removed energy drinks for who knows what reasonWhat?>detection bar seems to be gone too unless in my retardation I missed it somewhereNo, you are right, don't know why they didn't include it. You can still tell if you're spotted, if you have dynamic music on.
>>550047030Energy drinks are in the game nigga, the first trader sells it, what pirated copy are you playing?
did they expand on factions in S2? like combat personalities. freedomers camouflaging in the trees and bushes, and monolits just walking people down and tanking shots?
>>550058751I finished it during release and started replaying last-week and honestly it doesn't feel all that different, probably gonna drop as I'm not having too much fun. I'll probably do a modded run of Call of Pripyat, or just play Gamma again with IDI KOM NYEH as my starting faction.
this narrative that theres a bot is pathetic, I've already tested this shit and its literally a couple schizos samefagging(or one using both his pc and phone devices) the reason why most of the time their posts aren't removed(because they would if it were legit bots) is because mods see that with those IPs that they talk and engage normally most of the time but decide to repeat the same shit other times to shit post and make it seem like theres a bot
>>550062145lol
>>550062145Ok. Why isnt he banned? The dick can post 200 replies in a thread and not get banned but i can honestly reply to someone and get a 3 day? Fuck off.
>>550062145>already tested itAre you the imagecuck?
>>550064112ban evasionthere's nothing that can be done outside of rangebans and they aren't going to do that for one general on /vg/
>>550062145>I've already tested this shit And how? What kind of human-like behaviour did you encounter?Your non-bot theory is theoretically possible, but the previous thread was spammed non-stop for 2 hours in a row even though there were no other posts made. It's just absolutely pointless to waste time when no-one posts, a schizo would try to disrupt the thread during actual discussion.>>550064112>>550065528Nowadays, bots and ban evaders use residential proxies. Those are regular PCs infected with trojans combined into massive botnets. When those PCs are not used for DDoS attacks or crypto mining, they are used by hackers to provide proxy services. This way bots and ban evaders get access to millions of IPs from all around the world, from all kind of legit networks and ISPs. Range bans no longer works.Some shitposters even created free public services specifically for 4chan ban evasion.
Its the c-consciousness falling apart
your so fat the noosphere couldnt contain you
How does /sg/ feel about female stalkers? Even though the only the girls in S2 are vendors, cooks and scientists, do you think it was idea?
>>550074383*bad ideaWTF is my phone doing!? autocorrect stop it please.
/sg/ is a gay mans general, lets not get into female stalkers and similar nonsense
>>550074383>>550074513GAMMA has female stalkers.Therefore, Grok approves female stalkers. And as we know Grok decides what's good or bad for Stalker.

>>550049771that's fucking depressing, /sg/ became the only general where i'm a regular. the last few weeks really fucked everything up.>>550049940there are 300k+ people there and 90% of them are retards who would believe that everyone here participates in satire, because how in the world can you dislike gamma, and why are you posting memes with russian text, it's an ukrainian game you chud. a horrible place, worse than /v/.
Did anyone make an ultimate potato config for S2? I think I'm finally ready to play the game even if it looks like absolute booty cheeks. I tried on GeForce now but input lag is unbearable Specs are GTX 1650 and i5 9300h (laptop unfortunately)
>>550110740I'll get torched for it but I used to the stalker reddit pretty regularlythe anomaly and gammafags were obnoxious but prior to stalker 2, the reddit was generally a decent mix (maybe 40/60) of trilogy vs anomaly/gamma discussionpost-stalker 2 though there's just no point posting thereit's more like 60% s2, 35% anomaly/gamma, 5% trilogy at this point
>>550111881Just wait.If you wait, they will release the engine update, which might improve performance.If you wait more, they will release 2 DLCs which will add more content.If you wait even more, you will eventually upgrade your laptop/pc.The more you wait, the better.

>>550112886>Just wait.I will not, fuck that Reddit ass excuse where people yap on and on about "b-b-but they will fix it" when this shouldn't have happened in the first place. They were playing with their dicks in Prague this whole time and released a technical mess, and I'm not talking about the bugs. SoC was buggy and unstable, but it ran well on systems of the time. S2 is both buggy and runs like ass on modern systems, and asides from that, has non-existent A-Life.I WILL play it now to see what they did with the Zone and it's characters, graphical fidelity be damned

How do I make fighting the invisible mutant fucks less miserable? I just reached a camp with three of them. They are so god damn hard to hit. FUCK!
>>550111881There's a mod called 'optimized tweaks v2' iirc that has three presets. The preset called BOOST2 is your best bet. Use that with far 3.1 frame gen and that'll be as good as it gets for you. Only drawback is that it gimps the lighting. To my taste it's preferable outdoors, makes things darker, makes nights much blacker, but indoors it's like enabling fullbright in source games, turns what are supposed to be dark danky tunnels and facilities into noon sunshine bright spaces, which kills the immersion somewhat.You could try the BOOST option which retains the lighting somewhat but even with frame gen on your card it might not be good enough.Here's hoping the engine update comes with tangible performance gains. It's not even just FPS either... Even without frame gen getting 70+FPS the game still feels like flabby ass. The frame times are all fucked up and it stutters so much.
>>550121831Semi auto/auto shotguns. Wait until they charge at you, then sprint either side just before they leap attack. You'll get a good few seconds to unload on them, which with a semi auto shorty can be enough.Fuck knows about 3 at a time though. My advice would be find somewhere to stand where they can't reach you and drop some nades on their heads.
Tried Prosector's Project for a few minutes and was impressed, so I decided I might try the IWP pack addon. However, that causes a ctd (just a bunch of � these unicode unknown things) when I start a new game. PP anon, where are you? I require your assistance, Stalker.
love dicks
is there a way to see gear stats for once its fully repaired in gamma?
>>550128597can'tonly in debug mode and spawning them in
>>550074383At first, there were no female stalkers because The Zone scared them away. But then The Zone realised that she was getting too gay and allowed them in.
>>550128597Hold ctrl when you hover over the item? That's what I think you're asking for. Shows you all the stats as if the weapon/armour was full condition.

Is NLC7 worth the hype?
Playing Vanilla Clear Sky, have joined Freedom in the Faction Wars, and they've just stopped capping territory?I've cleaned out Duty's base by myself, yet Freedom's squads all refuse to move up to even capture the entrace to AgropromIs this soft locked? Green is Freedom, Yellow are Loners, Red are Duty/Bandits.ngl this is frustrating, I hate how much Mods change the base game, but this system is lowkey not working.Anyway to fix this, or even mods you guys recommend? Mods that ONLY touch the Faction Wars preferably
>>550139847faction wars are notoriously buggyjust carry on as usual and they'll either take it over or duty takes it back and you need to run it againeither way faction stuff is optional so you can skip it if all else fails
>>550138316same answer as august of last year
>>550140016NTA, but is there any mod that leans up faction wars?
>>550143357https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TCXsd40p4mMpaS2NsVNYiA-hMRlXhwGUB7J77Thvnjg/try hardwarmod 3.2 from here maybe?there's been a few different clan and faction mods over the years but I personally haven't played any as I never really liked the mechanic
>>550139847unsure if the same issuebut at least for duty to kill freedom i had to do freedom questline first
>>550139847There's a github thread for SRP that explains how the faction wars work and what you can do to make your faction more aggressive: https://github.com/Decane/SRP/issues/108Basically, you need to edit a few things in configs\misc\faction_freedom.ltx. In my last game I managed to make Freedom completely annihilate Duty and conquer the entire Zone.
>>550140016>>550146934>>550148548Never mind, figured it out. The Squads at the entrance to Rostok/Army Warehouses in the Garbage needed to move through the Flea Market.They give you a job to "Clear it out" you kill all the Loners (rip all the Digger/Traders) then they pass through it. I cleared it out again for them after the war and they captured it because why not.Freedom squads finally moved into Agroprom, but to my surprise they actually occupied Duty's base, with men in the Watchtowers and a guide. Duty would respawn but would permanetly stay INSIDE the building itself. Effectively destroying them sort of.First time i've helped Freedom in the Faction Wars, not sure if this is normal, I swear Duty respawn and retake Agroprom; like how Freedom respawn and capture parts of the Dark ValleyAlso didn't know Freedom could have a squad in the Cordon lmao
Fuck the mission "A light in the end of the tunnel". It's not hard, but it's spooky as fuck. I love the atmosphere, but I also hate getting spooked.

Anons seemed to despise each other less and generally be less faggoty back when people actually got hacked for downloading shit from here.
Playing through SoC now and I gotta admit, I never turned in the bulldog grenade launcher to Duty before now. I always tried to stay neutral between Duty and Freedom. Had no idea about the PSZ-9MD armor and was so happy when I got it and Petrenko started selling me sniper rifles and ammo.

>>550171456I'm not enjoying it despite liking SoC quite a bit. The weapons seem much weaker and less accurate, enemies feel more bullet spongey, human encounters are cancer because of grenade spam.

Why did they drop the ball in 2 when it comes to fighting mutants? Fighting people feels good, but god damn does it feel bad fighting mutants.They take a ton of hits, they are fast as hell making them hard to hit, but worst of all is that they don't respond to your gunshots. If I blast them with a shotgun I expect them to either die in one hit, or at least get knocked down.
>>550225123It's frustrating ain't it? All the mutants have been suped up with massive health pools and turbo speed, jerky animations which, combined with the soupy input lag inherent to the game, makes fighting them a pain in the ass and a considerable waste of ammo. Let's make bloodsuckers super fast, super quiet, super tanky and have them spawn in behind you with no warning.Doesn't help that a lot of the encounters are scripted, so you'll go into an area and it will just spawn a bloodsucker in with no heads up, no audio cue or anything, which will come straight at you. At least you can get mutant loot now, as if that's worth anything.My advice is carry a saiga everywhere and buckshot mutants to death. Plentiful ammo on npc bodies and being able to hose mutants down point blank makes them easier to handle. Bloodsuckers -wait for the leap attack and sprint to the side, all the other little piss ant zoomy mutants jump up on a box/wall/car out of reach and pick them off. Burers and poltergeists, shoot their psy projectiles because they currently clip through almost all objects. Grenades also work well in close spaces. But yeah, just an annoyance and a total waste of resources for the most part. Fuck dog packs also. Fucking nuisance any time they spawn.
>>550225123I think, at least on veteran, the human ai is definitely too accurate, too aware and too good with their shit weapons. It's okay in the open terrain because you can set up ambushes, funnel enemies through kill zones and dictate the engagement on your terms, but too many of the story missions have you approaching multiple enemies at a disadvantage, which turns the game into a whack a mole crawl because they will put a full mag into your little toe the nano second you pop it out of cover (cover which they also currently shoot through most of the time). If they toned them down a bit and had their shots disperse a little more they'd be more reasonable to fight.
>>550225123>or at least get knocked down.Huh? This is something that doesn't exist in any Stalker game or mod.
I fucking hate loading screens. Going through 3 loading screens in Anomaly just to get to a quest location is so annoying. I still wonder why no one bothered to merge smaller maps together, the engine would be able to handle it.
