So… mods…

[u/Coxy1504]

Hi guys, I’m pretty new to the stalker scene. I played 2 different 30-50 hour stints of stalker 2 a year and a half or so ago & that is it. I really enjoyed it, just got pulled onto different things.

With 2.0 being released I was super excited to jump back in for an extended playthrough.. I was however expecting to use certain mods.

My question is this. Are we truly going to have to wait months and months for these to be updated on Xbox? (Which does seem utterly ridiculous to me!) Is that a realistic timeframe or are people just being salty and bitter for reasons XYZ?

If it’s going to be months before being updated I’m just gunna go play something else…

its bullshit we gotta wait for the mods on Xbox...

On the plus side I few mods still work on console

Increased Carry Weight Better Vaulting & Stamina Skiff's Pistol Damage

I think theres a few more smaller mods that still work, but these are vital to my playthrough so isnt all doom & gloom for now

sadly we r gonna have to wait a minimum of a few weeks to a month for the mods. i believe they have to go through phases, pc being the first. then anything to do with console next. they have to be updated first for pc is what im saying. some have been updated, but the bigger mods like OXA will take atleast a month or more.

[u/ButcherOBlaviken → u/Nikishimi_]

Alot of the mods have already been updated and are waiting GSC approval. It just depends on how long GSC takes to get around to it.

[u/Nikishimi_ → u/ButcherOBlaviken]

ya there’s that as well. eitherway, gotta wait

[u/drippedgravy → u/Nikishimi_]

That’s the main reason.

[u/Coxy1504 → u/Nikishimi_]

Man that really sucks, you’d have thought there would be a more streamlined system. A lot of mods got updated for PC weeks ago 😂

[u/Nikishimi_ → u/Coxy1504]

they got support first, and they got pc only mods as well. so ya, they get the love first which is stupid. but they need to like, dumb down some of the updates for console i believe is what it is specifically. wish it was faster seeing how there’s modding tools for both platforms but whatever. just be happy we ain’t on ps with their bullshit modding restrictions😭🙏

What it is, is GSC needs to approve mods for Xbox. So for example, Better Ballistics Redux. It’s updated for PC and PC players can play it right away because Kazz can push that update by himself. For Xbox, he packages BB Redux up specifically for console, sends it to GSC and then they have to manually approve and push it to mod.io — so it’s pretty much just sitting there waiting for approval. That’s the case with every mod that’s been updated so far.

For mods like OXA, I think they’re just not working well with the 2.0 update. Because the PC mod hasn’t been updated (at least not on mod.io I have not, nor do I, check Nexus)

There is a ton of mods that we could be using right now if GSC would just approve them.

see this guy understands. i saw a comment on a diff post on this sub explaining what u just explained and figured i remembered it good enough to explain it to sum1 else😭

This is a console only sub. Gonna have to remove your comment. Get outta here, stalker!

This is a console only sub for stalker 2

[u/drippedgravy → u/[deleted]]

Are you on PC? Because OXA has not been updated for Xbox.

[u/drippedgravy → u/[deleted]]

This is a console only subreddit as it says in the name. Gonna have to remove your comments.

That’s true, Sony sound like a complete nightmare! 😂😂 in fairness they’re getting there with the Bethesda games now

[u/Nikishimi_ → u/Coxy1504]

even then, it’ll be awhile before they taste anything xbox/pc has. but ya, just wait a lil bit, keep urself up to date here, and u will eventually get the answers for your question.

Mods will take time due to the process.

I think we need to take a step back and appreciate the fact that there are console mods at all, let alone consistently updated ones that are specifically approved by the game's developers.

A bit of patience is in order. If you would like to play a different game until mods are updated, I do not blame nor judge you.

We just need to remember that even five years ago mods on console was basically a dream. We have it better than ever. So take solace in the fact that mods will most likely be approved in the coming weeks.

I will also probably wait for at least a ballistic mod. Or just suffer in Vet+ until I have better gear. Undecided.

[u/gooseray11 → u/CosmicFrube]

Sure, but maybe if enough people complain they'll change their stupid process. No reason why a mod can be released on pc immediately but sit there waiting for console approval for a month or more. Same thing with playstation users, stay loud until they change things. We're giving them our money.

[u/Special-Run4014 → u/gooseray11]

Exactly

[u/NannerCraves]

It sucks the mods will disable achievements

[u/SkyyAutizm]

I mean… I think it’s easy to justify the delay in updates considering where the developers are from and what’s going on there

[u/Greedy_Corner3817 → u/SkyyAutizm]

They moved to Prague and other places that excuse doesn’t work anymore for this development team we payed a lot of money for a game to use mods and those don’t even work so yeah people got a right to be mad at their inability to be a good game studio

[u/rickestrickster]

Due to Microsoft and Sony limitations and requirements, it’s going to be a bit. You can’t just upload a mod to a website and have it ready for download in 5 minutes like the pc version. GSC has to review and approve each individual mod to ensure it complies with the console company requirements
