To be honest I think Skif spends more time causing disasters than fixing them in this game. I can't help but feel like the best course of action would have been to collect a bit of money then jump back over the fence
Does anyone else really hate the little fat trolls in the raincoats who pull the guns from your hand with telekinesis, spin them around in the air and shoot you with them? It's got to the point where I hide all my guns the second I see one and just spam them with grenades...just glad they haven't worked out how to chuck them back
They're doing my nut in

Those guys have a telekinetic shield, I see lots of people on Youtube wasting ammo shooting them while the shield is up (blue glow). You need to wait for the glow to go away. Not sure if you knew this already, lots of people don't seem to.Does anyone else really hate the little fat trolls in the raincoats who pull the guns from your hand with telekinesis, spin them around in the air and shoot you with them?

Sussed it out after I had run out of frags to throw at it...I'd have much preferred an emergency baseball bat melee option to be fair... but we can't have everything I suppose
My current MODS list is as below - all* available from Nexus.
Broadly they cover:
- the weapons themselves perform/degrade more reasonably
- the mutants aren't bullet sponges (common in STALKER games)
- traders buy weapons in any condition (above 0% - common in STALKER games)
- cheaper repair costs
- longer days and nights
- no more aim-bot enemies
- * enemies now drop armor and their weapons can be in better condition (common in STALKER games is that perfectly functioning guns are ruined when dropped)
- no shader compilation on startup (I remove this now and again, just in case, and after every patch)

That practically mirrors my mod list too. I also have one that stops human NPC's from spamming you with frags....and cuts down the annoying 100% accuracy of the ones they do throw by a variable percentage of your chosing. Nothing more satisfying than seeing them chuck the odd googler that bounces off a wall or gantry and lands back at their feet

I'll grab that one too - this is (another) incredibly tiresome aspect.That practically mirrors my mod list too. I also have one that stops human NPC's from spamming you with frags....and cuts down the annoying 100% accuracy of the ones they do throw by a variable percentage...depending on your choice.

Cheers. Still procrastinating over it.
It's far from bug free but still pretty decent and the devs seem busy fixing stuff.
If you like Fallout (without the basebuilding) then I'd recommend it. If in doubt then I'd suggest getting STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl (and so support the dev teams) and mod it with Complete (let me know if you can't find it) - the first three or four hours can be hard going and a bit off putting, but if you gel after that then get this game. And if you don't, well...
Alternatively there's STALKER Anomaly - it's free, very good and an equally brutal introduction to the STALKER'verse (although the graphics look dated).
E. If anyone fancies Stalker Anomaly, let me know and I'll post up my mods for it that help similarly to the ones above for STALKER 2

I'm now utterly 'spammed-off' (insert profanity of choice) by the ludicrous pin-point grenades falling like rain.
Here's one...although it's not the one I have...
Rant - Reduce Grenades Spam (also with an optional Loose File Version)
Reduce Grenade Spam - Do you have enough of raining grenades when fighting with a pack of NPCs => try this!

Found it, had to rake around a bit

I can't recall what quality settings I'm using, but it's running largely fine with...
i9-9900 3.6Ghz + 32Gb RAM + RTX 2080 super + SSD discs
...dunno what this is considered nowadays - it's a few years old.
A few times performance has tanked (esp at bases), for which closing the game and restarting seems to resolve.
Argh! It clearly conflicts with a pre-existing mod, as the 'blighters' are every bit as pin-point accurate as they were before... 'blast and darn'...Here's one...although it's not the one I have...

...time for some mod-unpicking...
I was a bit slow on the uptake...but got it in the end after Mrs Mole popped her head over my shoulder as she brought me in a cuppa and let me in on the obvious joke
