I'm sorry, the ROADMAP needs extra time to be finished? We aren't even talking about bug fixes or adding in missing features... they need extra time just to tell us what's on the roadmap? I swear they just kicked their feet up and started sipping champagne after that last patch. The support team has been sending me several emails regarding a couple bug report tickets I had submitted 2 months ago and they're all literally the same copy/pasted message every time
@@plaguepandemic5651 the roadmap needs to have accurate information on it, otherwise people lose thier tiny minds when there is a delay. It's not just a picture, it's a visualisation of the next 12-24 months of development priorities, and they may not know what is achievable yet. It's frustrating, but silence is better than incorrect information given quickly.
@@plaguepandemic5651 you are aware there was a war going on where the devs were at right? Like I feel that you all forget the stalker devs were based in Ukraine and that they at some point had to evacuate so yes they will be slow rightfully so let them go at their own pace an perfect the game
@greyman7605 they've been in prague for years, they were nowhere close to the war. So tired of hearing that BS excuse. They would have released the game like this whether the war happened or not. That's how GSC has always operated. That's why the majority of the team left and formed their own studio after Shadow of Chernobyl released- the same studio that gave us the Metro games.
@plaguepandemic5651 Apparently you never played a STALKER game before. First I absolutely agree with @greyman7605, we should be a bit more understanding with GSC, it's not just the location of their studio, but also their families and friends that are living through hell in Ukraine right now. Second, you should know that, as for all Stalker games, there is a very dedicated community that works really hard to provide exceptionnal mods, that are most of the time super easy to install.
@loseergosum5341 I don't seem to get that issue, the game runs flawless for me until I walk into Rostock. As soon as I step foot in there the performance starts lagging and eventually will crash if I try to access the traders. I have all settings maximum.
Who'd say the most feared place in STK2 would be a 'safe zone' aka Rostock lmao everyone running away from the crashes 😂 on a 4090 it's crazy tho it shouldn't be the case IMO
And that is why you NEVER pre order video games and you NEVER play life service games... You pay the full triple AAA price IF the game is good after checking reviews. If its not good you don't buy it...
Well I thought the game was good and preordered it. Not disappointed. It's obvious bugs in the game will get fixed so all the crying about it is kinda silly.
i dont play much games anymore bc of working full time. game has been alright. sucks that some people put so much hype and hope into a video game. game has been okay addicting and fun but no Shadow of Chernobyl. to be fair no game since the og has ever really caught my attention so much. anyway i dont think its that serious. in a perfect world the war would not have happened and we would have had this game years ago and WITH a-Life.
@@lithium84 nah some people literally just want something to complain about and this fiasco is like nutrition for them without it theyd find another thing and congregate over that smh
Holy devs should be boycotted every time they release unfinished unoptimised junk, its been 3 months and ai still spots you from 20 kilometers, no wonder metro developers created their own studio and escaped gsc
I think considering some devs are fighting in the war and the relocation out of their home country I think we can give them some passes and respect them working so hard considering what they are going through while we sit protected playing the game
Exactly. I won't ever Pre order a game ever again. EA destroyed pre orders for me. Buy a game at full price 3 months before it drops. Then wait another year after it's out so it's actually playable. Anyone remember Battlefield 4 when EA forced Dice to release early
@@JaydenGroom-z1l the devs are not fighting in a war lmao. They've been moved since February 2023 to the Czech Republic. Rip to those that did give their life for their country. But don't make up lame reasons to make excuses. They aren't even a "small" dev either. 200+ employees comfortably working in Prague. Don't believe me go look it up
Thanks for the video. I was having fun in Stalker 2 however I gave up on it after being unable to complete the game due to bugs on my second attempt. There seems to be something really wrong with how quests/tasks trigger. There simply isn't enough open and formal discussion from the developers about what the plans are for the future, just buried responses on steam and discord. Its always risky communicating with your customers but it seems public opinion is worsening due to the silence. I wish them the best and really hope they are successful moving forward.
This is literally full price early access game. GSC should stop goofing around and go back develop it further, but of course they don't cuz money already grabbed, couple more patches, some poor quality dlc and bye bye.
I mean Stalker SoC was mostly unplayable at 1.0.0 release, i had that experience, still have that DVD somewhere. Anyway they did mostly fix it up to 1.0.6 and it was descent. It doesn't mean that releasing half-baked games should be encouraged, but they did it before, and still continue the tradition. Just gotta wait for it to become better, and in meantime abuse the hell of the game to get exoskeleton at 2'nd hour before (if) they patch it up.
Did you even played the first 3 STALKER games? And thats why there are plenty of mods (super easy to install most of the time) coming from a very dedicated community working their asses off, that basically adress all the issues, and make ameliorations in every domains.
memory leak in Rostok is on PC also. Crashes too. edit: how long do you plan on expecting the patches for a single player game that can be completed in 10 hours? I've done it 3 times already. It worked the best before any patches. Patches just messed the game up even more.
Have you played the first 3-parts STALKER? There were a lot of problem on release, but they have the most dedicated modders, and you can easily fix and enhance every aspects of the game super easily. Also it's not like they developped a game while there is a war in there country that affect all of them in a way or an other... Stop whining for once...
Odd about leaks on Xbox. I'm on Series X. The only shudder I get in Rostock is when you hit the top if the stairs, coming up from the downstairs bar in Rostock. And it's literally a second of freeze. I think people need to clean their rooms and Xbox from dust.
Me too man, I'm playing on series X and have no problems with memory leaks but the only problem I have is when I'm at Rostock. The game crashes and throws me out after 1 min or so (only at Rostock)
@Stefanx21 I believe Rostock does have issues for people across all systems. I know it's been flagged for fixing. Whether that's remedied in the next patch I'm unsure. In general I've had an excellent experience. Question: how are you getting around it? Are you still playing and found a workaround? Is it just in central Rostock or anywhere near it. There's a few main quests choices take you there, and wondered how you got around it. Thanks.
@@derekmclellan7337 yes i still play the game. For my experience it happens only in the (central area of Rostok) where you can buy and sell stuff. But outside of that area I can play/ explore with zero problems. What I do is try to be as fast as I can with what I'm doing, save the game 3/4 to make sure then run away. For the side quest (Arena) I did the same. Try to be fast, save the game run away from rostok go back and repeat. And at the end I managed to get the Sledgehammer. Very good shotgun!!Don't worry about the main mission with Scar, you're far enough to complete it. Hope it helps you and let me know how it goes👍
PC memory leaks in Rostock for sure and some in Garbage too. Also in the late game the anomalies will teleport me to gray screen 📺 with my location on the compass 🧭 in the twilight zone.
Glad im playing on game pass because for console if I was to have bought this game I would be passed unplayable on console side missions locked up main missions locked up but I was still playing now whenever there is a emission game crashes 100% of the time I have moved on. Thk the lord I didn't purchase this game. On to the next game. Bye bye

The memory leak in Rostock is also on PC. I have a beast of a PC that's using a 4090 and the game looks and runs great everywhere except for Rostock.
@deant6627 also happens on Yaniv or other bog NPC loc, when u change artifacts

We were bamboozled. A-Life 2.0 was never functional but they shipped the game anyway because they needed the cash
Have to impress shareholders somehow I guess
Yep. It's a shame really.
A life definitely needs some work but this game is still more complete than 90% of games coming out now a days
A-Life 0.2. Not even 1.0 like in the old games or something.
After the honeymoon faze, the game gets pretty dry real quick

Games is broken and can't progress with main quest so I'm waiting for update so hopefully I can carry on with it.
@@jameshall2195 me too i am watching every single day for the next update
@@kevinjoseph7158 yes this is my second playthrough as I had another game breaking bug on my first. Quite the journey to complete this game.
@@jameshall2195 yeah bro I got a glitch on a main store mission, I couldn't even leave the garbage zone... such a letdown, you know?
The end game needs an overhaul. Pressing continues after the game ends is just a dead stage 😢
And thats why there are plenty of mods (super easy to install most of the time) coming from a very dedicated community working their asses off.
@ I come from the console space, so if it’s not rolled up in a dlc I move on to the next game.
Man i hope they fix the issue with the holo sights issue when frame gen is enabled
they wont. it's not their code.
What’s wrong with holo sights?
This is literally full price early access game. GSC should stop goofing around and go back develop it further, but of course they don't cuz money already grabbed, couple more patches, some poor quality dlc and bye bye.
if that were true, they wouldn't bother trying to fix the game. This isn't ubisoft ya know.

Another game developer that released a game that's at least a year to soon. Reminded me of when EA released BF4.
BF4 was shit on by everyone for bad optimization and hurt EA and Dice reputation. Now it is normal to release unfinish products.
Did you even played the first 3 STALKER games?
And thats why there are plenty of mods (super easy to install most of the time) coming from a very dedicated community working their asses off, that basically adress all the issues, and make ameliorations in every domains.
I have crashes in rostok at vendors. Unfortunately I’m stuck now and can’t play any further
WIP = Work In Progress. I REALLY hope they fix the "Compiler" failing. I have to start the game 2-3 times to get the Complier to load.
They literally need to work on optimization and efficiency nothing more for awhile.
WIP stands for Work in Progress
the problem is just on gamepass
Wip mean work in progress
memory leak in Rostok is on PC also. Crashes too. edit: how long do you plan on expecting the patches for a single player game that can be completed in 10 hours? I've done it 3 times already. It worked the best before any patches. Patches just messed the game up even more.
In PC is trhe same in Rostok
loved the original, just cant get into this one
Hopefully you do
The game has a lot of issues apart from performance A-life its literally a joke and after garbage the game its literally empty of quest
Have you played the first 3-parts STALKER?
There were a lot of problem on release, but they have the most dedicated modders, and you can easily fix and enhance every aspects of the game super easily.
Also it's not like they developped a game while there is a war in there country that affect all of them in a way or an other...
