Help Does ANYONE remember when the Stalker 2 map had the CNPP, and Iron Forest Regions blurred out?
I found this image from a different reddit post from 2 years ago, when the regions seemingly appeared on the map declouded and blurred out.
I've been looking for the full map that includes these 2 regions fully visible but only find the current Stalker 2 V2.0+ maps.
Can anyone find/get me a full picture of the 1.9 map of Stalker 2 or where I can find the full map?

Help Clear Sky - Best version and recommended mods for stability?
I'm about to start Clear Sky, but recalling how surprisingly buggy the Enhanced Edition of SoC was and what a lifesaver ZRP was, I feel like I should find out now, rather than by trial and error.
I have both versions of STALKER: Clear Sky on steam (Original and Enhanced). Which one is currently the most stable? Apperently, similar to the previous game, some areas have awfully unbalanced enemy spawns, which is what I fear most.
If I go for the original, Sky Reclamation Project is a no-brainer. What site has the most up-to-date version? And if I go for Enhanced, I'm guessing Steam workshop has all the necessities. What are the essentials there?
I heard some people say that messy spawn points and bugs are part of the experience, but some said the same about Bethesda games, and we got over the bugs there pretty quickly.

I'm running a fresh vanilla installation, with no mods installed. I've already tried reinstalling the game and switching to DirectX 10, 9 and 8, but the crash persists.
Has anyone encountered this issue or know what might cause a crash during renderer initialization?

Anomaly My zaton stalker starting keeps getting attacked by zombifed, some in exoskeletons
Is this normal behaviour, This is a fresh install that I am working on mods on and while testing constantly groups of 3 zombified keep showing up and attacking, and the stalkers inside don't react.

Gameplay Does bullet speed matter?

I noticed weapon upgrades mention bullet speed, which seem to add to the range bar in upgrade menu. But does bullet speed even matter if max range for online A-life is only 100 meters?
I don't know if I need to lead my shots. I do it partially, like I'm still aiming at the target with a very small lead. This works fine, but I'm curious if I really need to do this.
I use M701 mainly btw. Maybe other weapons need more lead.

Hi everyone! I played Stalker 2 with game pass on launch and had a good time, tried after a few updates and performance was worse (ghosting for example). Nowadays how is the performance? I couldn't play the free weekend

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Проблема с (Problem with) S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2
Ребята, всем привет!
Столкнулся с такой проблемой: во время игры периодически происходят внезапные выключения ноутбука. В чём причина — понять не могу. Уже перепробовал много чего: полностью удалял моды, переустанавливал игру, но ничего не помогло.
Играю на ноутбуке со следующими характеристиками:
- Модель: ASUS ROG Strix G16
- Процессор: Intel Core i7-13650HX
- Видеокарта: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
- Оперативная память: 16 ГБ
Сначала думал, что проблема в самом ноутбуке, поэтому решил проверить его в других играх. Но там всё работает нормально, никаких выключений нет. Проблема возникает исключительно в S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.
Теперь подробнее о самой проблеме. Ноутбук выключается в совершенно случайные моменты, причём настолько резко, что даже гаснет индикатор зарядки. Через 1–2 секунды индикатор снова загорается.
Может, кто-нибудь сталкивался с подобной ситуацией? Подскажите, пожалуйста, в чём может быть причина и как это исправить. Буду благодарен за любую помощь!
Так-же хочу добавить что ноутбук работает с оригинальным блоком питания.
Hey guys!
I've encountered a problem: my laptop periodically shuts down abruptly while playing. I can't figure out why. I've tried everything: completely removing mods, reinstalling the game, but nothing has helped.
I play on a laptop with the following specifications:
- Model: ASUS ROG Strix G16
- Processor: Intel Core i7-13650HX
- Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060
- RAM: 16 GB
At first, I thought the problem was with the laptop itself, so I decided to test it with other games. But everything works fine there, and there are no shutdowns. The problem only occurs in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2.
Now, more about the problem itself. The laptop shuts down at completely random times, and so abruptly that even the charging indicator goes out. After 1-2 seconds, the indicator lights up again.
Has anyone encountered a similar situation? Please tell me what could be the cause and how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I'd also like to add that the laptop works with the original power supply.

Help New Game transfer
From my understanding you could start a new save with all your gear one you completed the DLC and finished the main campaign.
Neither the New Game carryover or the Revert Save option are working for me. (My revert save takes me like 100 hours earlier, not just before I enter the institute)
Has anyone encountered similar?

Mods Fog of War mod - highly recommended for explorers
Just want to put it out there since this mod has been a life changer for me. I really love mindless exploring, and this mod has helped me make it much more enjoyable. There is a lot of small things, loot and easter eggs outside of points of interest. With this mod I can tell where I have already been even after a longer break from the game.
From the mid description: "Fog of War covers the PDA map with drifting fog that clears permanently as you explore. One glance at the PDA shows which parts of the Zone you have already visited and where you haven't set foot yet."

For me, it's:

Mods Something like Radiophobia 3
Hello, i was wondering if there were other mods like radiophobia 3, close to vanilla with a little added content (especially weapons). I have tried modding anomaly with sharpsticcks and boomsticks but the difficulty of anomaly (and gamma for the matter) is just not for me (i cannot comprehend the healing system). Would you hav any suggestions of mods either to tone down the healing system difficulty in anomaly or a standalone mod like radiophobia (already tried lost alpha, EFP and SFZ project)
I hope this is comprehensible, thank you :)
Help SoC COOP??
Hi everyone! I saw a comment the other day saying Stalker SoC can be played co-op, but I couldn't reach the person who wrote it... Is this possible? Is it really possible to play Stalker SoC co-op with a friend over LAN? What mods are needed? Is it compatible with other mods? And are there any synchronization or other problems with the mod used? If anyone has tried it, sharing your thoughts would be great!
