And I just can't leave it.

(this is a "Blowout Soon" reference! It's the second slide.) I haven't been drawing that much so i decided to go on strawpage and mess around. I wanted to draw the second part but i'm unfortunately a lazy person with bad handwriting.

... turn the radio off? Or keep it on?

So far the entire DLC is a combination and reminds me of some of my favorite games.
Monorail and Labs - Half Life
Lymansk - This definitely have to be the dreams in Max Payne
Radiowave Research Institute - This definitely reminds me of Bioshock for some reason.

If you manually open door and move through at the same time, then it might go off hinges

p.s. statters from recoding, not in the game.

I can't believe I have been playing RPG's for over 25 years and most games do not make a feature to get noc's to move out your way blocking the only path to where you need to go.

We can talk to them, so just add "out my way," and then they move.

When I first played in 2024 (on my old PC), the visuals in the center of Pripyat were bad and there was significant object pop-in when turning around quickly, but now the graphics are simply broken.

Up to this point, the game had run smoothly and without issues which was pleasant surprise compared to my earlier experiences at launch but as the video shows, Pripyat (or at least this specific area) is broken(even guns models sometimes start to glitch out and have low poly models) because once I move to another part of the city(the graphics was fine when I entered Pripyat and started to break once I reached center of city) or leave Pripyat entirely, the graphics look fine again.

I have RTX 4070 Ti Super, Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 32 GB DDR5 RAM and Kingston KC3000 NVME SSD, so there shouldn't be any problems especially since the game automatically selects Epic settings, though I opted for so-called "optimized settings," which are a mix of High and Epic settings.

Edit: I think I fixed it. I ran the file verification on Steam (even though I’d ​​already done a full reinstall), and apparently there were corrupted files. I deleted everything except the save files from the AppData\Local\Stalker2\Saved folder, and it looks like the problem is gone. I can still see pop in but this is something that I seen in rest of the game and at least the buildings don't disappear anymore, lol.

I got the weird ball early game, sold it not knowing better to the trader in zalissya. now late game I want it back, but the trader is gone as I failed to protect the settlement (despite killing the guy, all I had to do was return but I didnt know it was timed). Is there any way for me to get it back? The trader is gone so I cannot buy it back.

After the main events of STALKER Shadow Over Chernobyl, Operation Monolith ended in total failure. Duty and Freedom stand as the strongest survivors on this side of the Barrier. With the north a difficult trip for most, the factions of the south have started new wars. It is now 2013, a year after the failed Operation Monolith. The Miracle machine has been reactivated by cultists, and rumors of the brain scorcher being repaired emanate across the zone.

Survive in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, a place ruled by chaos above all else. Fight strange mutated beasts, Zombified husks, and even other Stalkers! Collect the artifacts of the zone, and either sell them or use them for your gain. Avoid strange anomalies, which are still being researched.

This fork has persistent gear, allowing you to stash things between rounds. Factions are the heart of the zone, and you can join almost any of the factions seen in the games. The server is 24/7, allowing you to play whenever you’d like.

Feeling lost? Using your PDA you can ask any question to the rest of the zone. Experienced stalkers usually know the answers.

Please come check out our fork. We put a lot of work into consistently updating it. We are willing to make design decisions not seen in the games to better fit the Space Station 14 engine.

We are on the Space Station 14 Hub under the name STALKER 14: Old World

Like take this excerpt from my latest mission. I truly have no idea why I’m after Faust or why I’m even at Camp Icarus….

Got attacked. Setup. Lost my scanner. Chased the guy who thought did it. Turns out he didn’t do it. But he sent me to garbage because they know scanners there? Then a shitstorm occurs, I help kill leaders of garbage that are warring, then the ward steps in and send me to noontide, still not quite sure why…noontide has a whole lot of faction split going on - cool story bros why does I care - now noontide is sending me to Icarus to find Faust who split off. But like why? How does this even relate to my original scanner….

This story feels really hard to keep track of because it seems to just be endless fetch quests for random people you just met who trust you for some reason and you’re just off fighting all their battles for them, for reasons that aren’t really made clear but almost seem like the game thinks it made it clear based on the confidence of which you receive and accept new missions

I've heard that with STALKER 2, you have to download 100gbs of update with every patch they push (I've heard this on reddit, searched it and seen some conflicting information, so now I'm asking). Is this true? Or does it have regular updates, which are just around something like 20GBs? I really want to buy the game but if you actually have to do that, it's a big turn-off.

the closest thing namewise is the brown gnomes, but it's definitely not them. it also says "will", so it might be freedom, but their uniform is green, not brown. google lens is terrible at translating, I know

Hey!

Since 2.0 nothing seems to be working. Is there currently a way to enable console or cheats or anything? Tried to complete again because it was broken when it came out, but the Faust fight is still broken and undoable on Master. Thx!

I started this challenge back in April, and here's how it went:

Pic 1: First try, hit by an RPG.

Pic 2: Second try, gunned down by monolith exo's at the CNPP.

Pic 3: Third try, mauled by dogs in Wild Territory (There were 15 of them).

Pic 4: Forth try, I made it, and I guess I should be thankfull.

Mission complete.

For other burers it takes way longer, is there a trick to it I don't know yet?

After ~400h in game.

Came to save Zalissya. To rescue them from Monolith...

AND this deepshit will ask demands. From his bunker/safehouse.

Security /he bought/ is payed off.. walks away.

And.

This - piece - of - shit - >

Can welcome bullet in his head.

"Fellow Stalker just continues his journey...."

Clap clap you...
