S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (Stalker) Thread

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Going on /v/, it looks like they might have just ported all of the game's logic over to Unreal 5. Feel free to check if your favorite bugs and jank still work, chances are they will.
That would certainly be one potential reason for the performance, Satisfactory is the only UE5 game I've played that doesn't run like ass.
>original trilogy was bug free
You unironically had a better chance to win the lottery than managing to complete the release version of SoC or Clear Sky without running into a softlock even if you only focused on the main questline.
 
Can anyone confirm if they saw any negroids yet?

So as a STALKER fan with 1000s of hours in all 3 of them, who purchased all of the collectors editions and too much merch from GSC, I can say it is a STALKER game, and for that I love it.

However.

What I think GSC will eventually fix:

Performance is gay.
I've had 3 CTD early on in the game.
The mouse feels floaty? I think that's just UE5.
General bugs like my cursor disappearing half way through inputting codes.

What I hope the community will fix with mods:

The british accents are gay and I hope someone makes a mod to change them.
Enemies (Esp mutants) are too bullet spongey on Veteran. I want my bullets to be lethal both ways.
Human enemies seem to always fall backwards in the same death T pose.


Nothing has surprised me about this launch and I think it's gone a lot smoother than Clear Sky's, which was a complete disaster. I'm really enjoying it and I'm looking forward to the modding community getting stuck into it.

I killed one outside of the Old Factory above X18.

- Enemy animal AI is interesting to say the least. Apparently the zone has taught rats/dogs/boar how to take cover. As soon as you climb on top of something to gun them down they will scatter and hide, until your feet touch the floor for a second and then its like you have rung the dinner bell. It's just odd.
Oh my god I thought I was imagining this, they made dog packs so fucking annoying.
 
Performance is... decent? Once I bumped my graphic settings down from Epic to Great (or whatever the second highest one is) the game ran pretty well.
I miss the time when bad performance means "game suddenly dips into below 30 FPS" on normal quality.

Nowadays people will cry bad performance when they have their machine dip below 60 on ultra high.

Also might buy the game on the weekend if the positive reception keeps on.
 
>Unreal 5 bugs: WHO THE FUCK MADE THIS SHIT, FUCKING FAGGOT DEVS!
>Xray engine bugs: lol i just got killed by a gun that was stuck in a wall and i ran into it, soul!
I think the issue, is these guys were acting like they totally mastered the UE5 engine, while all they could show for it are those quickly put together locations for the trailer. Everyone with a brain knew this game was gonna be a buggy mess, but fact its not different from the leaked 2023 build is where you really wanna question things.

Maybe they would not get banned if they stopped going "Ukrainian is not a a real language, you are just fucking russians."
To minimize politposting - yes and no. Almost every Ukrainian will understand you if you have spoken with him in Russian. And there were no such thing as Ukraine before XX century. Doesn't change the fact that he was fat trolling
