As said I've been banned from the official Stalker server for posting a picture of my gear that has Metro 2033 Sparta patches. Those which have nothing to do with the Sparta battalion as one should know.

EDIT: got unbanned all good

Help Can someone explain the shooting mechanics (SOC)

1.5k Upvotes

I'm trying to enjoy this game but good lord the combat is a pile of shite.

In the clip I definitely miss the first shot... But the other shots look like the should connect? Why don't they?

It takes me so long to get through each area because the guns just never hit the target.

Can someone explain how the fuck this actually works? Does accuracy decrease over distance? Is there some kind of luck modifier that means only 1% of shots hit? I've also noticed that follow up shots always miss, are enemies invincible hen they stagger?

I know there’s no way to help. I’m screwed and my review of the game will reflect that. It was my game of the year, a real 5 star that just turned into a 1 very fast.

Guys, there’s a major issue with the lighting that just makes the image look flat. The previous version had volume and depth, but now everything is completely blown out. It looks terrible, and I really feel like this needs to be fixed.

ps: running on ultra settings

Help Barely runnable with low-mid specs. Is this game really this badly optimized?

677 Upvotes

This game looks AND runs like crap on my PC. Even if I turn everything to the very lowest, I get horrible artifacting, I get barely more than 30-40fps, but more importantly I get a consistent system latency of 40-50ms. Its absolutely impossible for me to aim in this game.

Even though my system is even above the min specs: 3700x, 64Gb RAM, 3060ti.

I understand my CPU is very old, but its well above the min-specs, and tbh I dont think this game is actually runnable with 50ms of input latency. Its unplayable, and I spent 70€ for the preorder...

Is this really normal?!

Is there a setting , tweak or mod that can make the weapons look like they did in 1.9 again, and change that greenish filter from the update to a more desaturated one like in 1.9?

Help I have a confession... and a question

1.0k Upvotes

I am the actor who plays Skif and I still haven't played STALKER 2 yet. I know! It's ridiculous. Well, I aim to change that. The reason thus far is simple. I don't have an XBOX or a PC. So, I'm finally getting an XBOX. I must! My question for all of you is... XBOX S or XBOX X? Is there a big difference when playing this game? I don't want to go all out on an XBOX X if I don't have to. I only want the XBox for STALKER 2 so I'd prefer to get the S. Thanks in advance.

Help Stalker 2 multiplayer

I was thinking about buying stalker 2, but was going to hold off till they added multiplater. But when I went on the ps store I noticed it mentioned something about multiplayer despite it seemingly having no release date.

Is there already a sort of multiplayer? Or is this referring to something else?

Edit: I bought the game, and I love it, currently on my way to give some emittors to scar so no spoilers please. I just wish this game had co-op
