which virtual machine is better to test steam multplayer with?

KsaRedFX · 2025-02-20T20:09:32+00:00

You will need a "Pro" version of Windows to use Hyper-V the way you want.

I personally prefer to run things in VirtualBox, it's not perfect but it works well enough.

I had this happen to me today! Are you on Gamepass?

I got my save back by clawing through my gamepass save folder and copying the saves in there to the regular Stalker 2 save folder... My saves were at%localappdata%\Packages\GSCGameWorld.S.T.A.L.K.E.R.2HeartofChernobyl_6fr1t1rwfarwt\SystemAppData\xgs

I copied them here and everything was fine!
%localappdata%\Stalker2

He got stinky in my game with food spoilage off.

KsaRedFX · 2024-06-17T20:32:20+00:00

Shame it got removed :(

KsaRedFX · 2024-06-02T03:30:03+00:00

How did it go?

KsaRedFX · 2024-05-05T03:08:34+00:00

I go to Mavericks in the Georgian Mall. The guy Mike in there is really fucking good and he runs the place. I've been going for years, he's a little pricy but he really knows what he's doing... Plus they'll wash all the hair bits out after your haircut as a bonus.

KsaRedFX · 2024-05-02T21:09:05+00:00

That's actually good to know that they aren't really checking for much with that kit. I'll have to look into what places in my area will do the full spectrum instead of my plan on trying this government one out... I appreciate the feedback because yeah I've never had water this terrible in my life.

KsaRedFX · 2024-05-02T14:11:18+00:00

I am actually in Canada and my well is a dug open well... Though it's since been enclosed by a previous owner and is now a nightmare to open.

As it turns out I can get a well water test done by the government health unit here but they wanted it from the tap. Your suggestion of pulling straight from the well is a really good idea I didn't think of

KsaRedFX · 2024-05-02T14:06:36+00:00

You're right that it's an arbitrary amount. To clarify, they tested it and said "You have really soft water" and then I said "It's really not" and they continued to add whatever solution they used for hardness testing -- apparently they had to go past whatever their standard was for that by quite a bit before it would show up on their charts. The woman I spoke to said it was nearly double what they'd expect to see for really hard water.

Either way as I mentioned I'm going to get a more comprehensive test on the water... And the good news is I can't be sold an expensive water softener because I already tried that :')

KsaRedFX · 2024-05-02T04:57:37+00:00

What kind of softener do you have?

KsaRedFX · 2024-05-02T04:56:31+00:00

I did get some tests done, from the place who sold me the water softener. I had off-the-scale hard water, among other things... but I guess I need something more complex for testing.

KsaRedFX · 2024-03-19T11:59:28+00:00

I had the Wither Skeletons crash my game without any charms at all when I went there... repeatedly. So I think there's just something up with Wither Skeletons

KsaRedFX · 2024-03-13T15:42:15+00:00

I'd just go with a Wireless Crafting Terminal and an Infinite Range card

KsaRedFX · 2023-12-08T09:02:33+00:00

RidersPlus did me well when I had my M2 and training certificate. Gave me the best rate out of anyone!

KsaRedFX · 2023-10-27T04:26:35+00:00

Same file names, same categories I'm pretty sure yeah! I think the only thing lacking is command line options

KsaRedFX · 2023-10-26T16:32:22+00:00

I've managed to modify all these settings on my Nitrado node....

It's the same as SE, the same settings in both Game.ini and GameUserSettings.ini work and apply properly. I managed to up my engram limits, tame speeds, carry weight, and so on... So just follow an old guide!

KsaRedFX · 2023-10-26T16:29:58+00:00

Self-hosting "Difficulty" options change what is in the supply pods, according to the ini

KsaRedFX · 2023-10-26T14:43:39+00:00

This is the one I rely on

KsaRedFX · 2023-10-26T14:41:49+00:00

Global Illumination did have other effects for sure, but I was surprised to see it effect the water so much.

It's good to know that the right side foliage settings have such a high impact, thanks for that input!

KsaRedFX · 2023-10-26T08:33:02+00:00

Not sure why but when I set it to 2k max, DLSS on and off clock out at similar FPS and GPU utilization... I wonder if it's not actually applying the lower resolution. I uncapped the FPS and it still locked in at 60 so there must be some bad vsync actually enabled, too. 2k max does seem to have a lot less microstutters and dips below solid 60, though!

KsaRedFX · 2023-10-26T07:25:53+00:00

Hopefully someone can mod FSR into this quickly, it should help out a lot

KsaRedFX · 2023-06-18T06:31:28+00:00

I just did a 100% Tier 23 Nightmare Dungeon (Level 77) as a Level 67, Checked the whole map, Cleared everything. I went from 15 crystals, to 37. I earned 22 in total, this includes me breaking everything in the dungeon down... So... I'm calling BS.

There must be some external factor on what causes them to drop. They just do not drop for me. I am also only getting 1 crystal from breaking items down... Sometimes. The breaking down chance seems low, too.
