(I'm American, don't make too much fun)

When I downloaded 2 on game-pass when it was on there i somehow had the foresight to turn the language to Ukrainian, because the setting is Ukrainian so the Ukrainians should obviously speak it.
And beyond that, Ukrainian is the original dialect for the game and its creators, so the emotion and vocal context is best suited for Ukrainian with English subtitles.
And when I started playing 1 like a week or so ago l continued to do so.

Now every time I click on a YouTube video I get flash banged by the most fathomable American there are possible.
No disrespect for the voice actors but man it is SOMETHING.

Skiff is particularly egregious and any time he speaks in English I recoil pure cringe.

I know certain accents do have sort of "equivalents" in other places, like with Arnold Schwarzenegger he sounds like a big burly beast of a man to English speakers, but apparently in native Austrian he sounds like a country bumpkin.
So to a life long Ukrainian speaker, Skiff, Strelok, and Scars dialects in English maybe sound normal and equivalent to the English dub?

Regardless the English dub just sounds real funny to me.

Are there any Ukrainian speakers who can weigh in their two cents?

The game looks and runs amazingly for me on rtx 5080, ryzen 9800x3d now !!

I have never seen 120 fps without a frage gen in this area and other areas, devs cooked !

I just think it looks and feels more alive. and summer-y, which is the games season.

it just makes sense to me. The real exclusion zone is super lush with vegetation, completely overtaken by nature. This fits the look of the actual zone much more, and even reminds me a little more of the older games color palette.

I know some people don’t like it, and to each their own. But I prefer it.

Took a few screenshots before the 2.0 update, and then afterwards. This is a basic PS5, not a Pro.

Fixing lighting inside closed environments is HUGE, probably the most significant improvement in 2.0. Also you can finally see outside the windows, instead of that overexposed bright mess.

Quality mode remains the same. Pretty low FPS and unplayable for me personally, same as before.

Here and there some texture pop-in since there is way more foliage to load now vs before but nothing critical. Overall a very solid upgrade that enhanced the experience dramatically.

Also i don't understand why there is so much whining about the 100m AI bubble. You can barely see 50m ahead of you with all that greenery 😂

Performance seems about the same

At this point it totally makes sense to start the game over and experience all enhancements from scratch. It's like you are playing a brand new game pretty much.

Hello everybody,

As the title says, I am running into some issues with Anomaly Together.

So me and my friends we playing this mod and we got stuck due to a technical problem.

In our list of mods we have BAS (Boomsticks and Sharpsticks mod) that overhauls the weapons basically.

Now that we got this out of the way, here is the error that we are currently experiencing. (See images pls)

We were also running ALife Plus mod and we were told to disable that as that was causing the issue but apparently not.

What is weierder is the fact that the host of the server doesn't experience this error; only me and my friend. And this error happens only when approaching a trader, but not all traders (Sidorovich is one of them that this error doesn't happen).

Any idea how to fix this, I will highly appreciate it.

I know it is death lamp. It is the rarest arifact in the Zone. However it doesn't have any good effects. Is there any mod which makes it useful?

ofcourse more would be better, everyone wants 150 or more sure, but 100m isnt some massive issue where people would just pop in in front of you. you have to be zoomed in with a binocular to even see it

and its not like its being done out of spite. if GSC could make it 150m or more they probably just would have done it long ago
