stalker runs like shit on my gaming rig. the same gaming rig that runs witcher 3 on ultra 1080p at 45fps. thought I usually play witcher 3 at high setting at 60fps.
stalker complete however sutters every 5 seconds and crashes if I alt-tab. in addition, the user interface is rather dated and the screen tears are no beuno.
as far as older games go, I think stuff like Deus ex or classic isometric RPG's have aged so much better than stalker. a 2007 game using a 2002 engine

I disabled any AA / texture filtering which stopped the game from stuttering every 5 seconds to every 10 seconds.
I also changed the value in a file of something called the "switching distance". Apparently a high value causes stuttering. Its basically rendering distance iirc. So I reduced that and it still barely helped.

That's because the game is an FPS first and not an RPG.Weapons are supposed to be easily replaceable like that,just like everything else that you get from the corpses of the enemies you kill.Few weapons throughout the game are unique and worth storing for use at some pivotal point of it to make that segment a bit easier and those are supposed to be more of an extra reward for going out of your way to find them,if not for that you would have a Fallout 4 situation where you get one weapon that never breaks that you like to use,mod it keep it until the endgame and the rest you just collect to sell somewhere.
Artefacts and weapon modifications are the ones you should really care about in STALKER,everything else is replacable and of single purpose and use

The catch?
No reloading. You have to hit G once you are out, and pick up weapons on the ground, and can only loot corpses after combat for meds. No carrying back up guns or ammo. If you run out, you switch to knife.
For even more fun, no armor and set population factor up to 3. No save scumming either, 1 save at the start of combat/area. Eg. dead city fight, you save at start, but get killed by last guy, you gotta start over. Fun as fuck. Bonus if you are listening to hardbass or HLM soundtrack, or some other shit like that.

I forgot to add.
If you jam, that counts as a reload. So if it jams, you drop it. And no switching for a better weapon. You keep it until it's empty, then you can pick up another weapon. So if you get stuck with an RPG inside, you cant just drop it for an M4. You have to fire it.

Hey Stalkers, I could use your help.
I'm playing AA2 and I just finished the actual game part at the CNPP. It then switched to freeplay and added the task "follow your instincts" to my PDA. But now I can't accept any new tasks without hard crashing on exiting the map, similar to what would happen if you left too many tasks open. I can't kill the task, or complete it as far as I know.
Anyone know a workaround for this? I would like to be able to finish some stuff I didn't.

I've been playing a lot of Escape from Tarkov lately and it really makes me wonder how you would make a multiplayer centered STALKER game right. I think losing everything on death is necessary, but Tarkov is a bit too deadly to the point where you basically never take anything you can't afford 20 of unless you have a full crew to back you up. I guess when you have a more significant PvE component that isn't quite as bad, though.

Stalker and Multiplayer are polar opposites. It cannot work for when it turns to a multiplayer, anyone who plays it stops being "that special someone". Sure, the game is all about being a cog the machine called "zone" but at least you are the golden cog since you are you.
The moment other peoples join your zone, your priorities shift so drastically that all you care about is other players and ignore all the other aspect that make the game wonderful.
The curse of the zone is that you cannot have any friends.

Stalker multiplayer could work if you had a fuckhuge map, small populations and made PvP risky by making faction members hostile to people who their members, weighted by their reputation and their temperament and allies - killing someone in poor standing might trigger almost no response but killing a hero of the faction might cause them to send out death squads after you and maybe even start a war.

That sounds like an overly complicated role-playing server.
STALKER and MP is like wanting to mix stealth and sandbox. Some of the best moments of a STALKER game are those when you're by yourself barely holding to your life trying to resource manage while also scrambling for supplies and the odds are usually against you.
All of that tension is lost when you have other people around you.

I like METRO games, they have that flavor of slav depressive atmosphere to them and I think they're well realized but the problem is the fact that they rail road you too much… at least they have good pacing.
The reason I mentioned it was because the series has potential, when those games stop holding your hand and let you to your own devices they feel like a polished version of a poor's man STALKER game (the extra missions of last light being a good example).
Plus, given the more open approach they're taking with the sequel it has me somewhat excited but like >>14696290 said maybe I'm somewhat deluded to think that they can come close to STALKER, especially when you have things like CoC and tons of mods for the game.

I never really found money to big much of a problem in the games after the beginning, even common artifacts fetch a nice amount.
