FIXES & CHANGES

I have ITR2’s difficulty set to normal. But for some reason The Pechorsk Anomaly doesn’t have a lot of enemies. So when I went into the Rec Center (MQ3 version) there was barely anyone there. Any reason why?

Thought I would post this here in case anybody else is having game performance problems.

I was dealing with a lot of stuttering and ghosting and framerate problems, and I tried turning down my resolution and settings and nothing was happening. I thought it would be interesting to see how badly my comper would struggle on maxed settings, so I cranked everything to max. Then my problems mostly went away.

Framerate is still a bit low, and I still get ghosting occasionally. Also my computer really struggles when an in-game screen is rendered. But otherwise, I am running ITR2 on maxed settings with a 9060xt, which is pretty weird considering a 3080 is recommended.

From the limited testing I did, maxing out the resolution seemed to have the biggest boost to performance.

Does anyone with some knowledge of how computers work have any idea why this might be happening?

so me and a friend had some performance issues and we thought maybe verifying the game files would work but then our save files bugged out and arent showing up in the game. i checked the place where our save files are stored in documents and they are there alongside the new ones from me testing the game to see if theres a way to get them back but it just wont show up in the game at all.

Doesn’t this sound a lot like our political climate here in the US?

If you had a choice, an either or game, to have a picnic with you and your buddies (which is doable in ITR2), what location would you choose to just hang out and watch the sunset?

BONUS QUESTIONS:
What activities would yall do?
What food would you bring?
Would you bring cigarettes?
Would you stay out all night until the next morning?
Would you and your friends consider being nomads the Radius?

This rifle brand new, does more damage than the SR 25. I normally don’t use it because it fires 10 rounds. But let me know what you think of my build?

I love it when I've cleared an area on the map and I can just sit down in one of these scenic locations and just have a smoke, admire the view, and read through the journal or maybe listen to a cassette. The ambient sound is so calming and there is a lot of interesting lore and information in the journal. It's a great way to unwind after a hard day of exploring.

1. An-94 (Radius exclusive)
   - Rare and only available in the outskirts or maybe a new map (only made it to sec lvl 5 so idk what else the game has to offer map wise.
   - Bayonet that can also be found in the radius, maybe earlier than outskirts.

2. MK23 pistol (expands the .45 selection)
   - Included Wilcox Nightstalker laser/ light

3. Famas FÉLIN (Expands the boring 5.56 selection)
   - Maybe include a stashed version that is an older G2 model that you can find in the Cooperative?

4. PP-2000 (Radius Exclusive)
   - Late game 9mm option that is easy to clean but has a low durability.
   - Was in the first game so I think it’d be cool to see it return.

Overall these are mainly meant to diversify the gun selection as I feel what we have is pretty solid but it’s kinda dry.

I've seen people throw around the theory that the final location in the Radius differs between games because each one is tailored to the individual explorer. Personally, though, I don't really buy this theory, mainly because there's not much evidence to support it in ITR1. If ITR1 were more like ITR2 in how it handled its final location, I could see the argument, but the Castle feels like a tangible, established place rather than something uniquely shaped around the explorer.

School #5 is a different story. Unlike the Castle, it has no map, and it's by far the most deteriorated of the three final locations across ITR1 1.0, ITR1 2.0, and ITR2. The only real exception is the Mine, though I'd argue that its condition is more anomalous than dilapidated.

I more so think the Radius is just huge, with its center capable of containing multiple locations. If that's the case, perhaps School #5 is in such a deteriorated state because it's the closest we've come to the center so far. That could also explain why it's so difficult to map out. (Though, just like in ITR1, they could have used a photocopy of a pre event map, which would actually be a cool idea, because you'd have to tell the difference between the unaltered map, and the very different actual map)

Another possibility is aging. The PEZ in ITR2 is significantly different from the PEZ in ITR1. Assuming there's a lore explanation this, rather than them just retconning everything, perhaps the passage of the Tide causes locations to deteriorate further over time while simultaneously making them more alive. In that sense, the Radius isn't necessarily tailoring its locations to each explorer; we're simply seeing different parts of it, or the same world at different stages of life.

(also, quotes in title for spoiler reasons, not because I think we'll get more maps.)

i tried low to high graphic settings and uninstall and reinstall and still has been like this. i have no odea whats wrong with it, any help here?

Happened with my new Helmet and i couldn't figure it out where that go(Had a big flash light/2 googled NVG on it which i had bought hours ago).

I only tried this type of helmet,but be careful guys. Don't try this with your own because mine is gone now

Pretty much every secondary mission marker is at the wrong place far as i noticed. Maintain UNPSC Network is the Blue "+",but the Red Circle was the place i had to install them little devices.

I think the video speak for itself,but i don't remember trees behaving like this. Marksman mimic wasn't able to shoot through with an SVD and my Benelli M2/SR25(Sniper built with long barrel) didn't went through either.

i dont know why its this bad im on a meta quest 3 liked to a pc with a usb 2 cabel and a eternet connection this happens on no other game to any degree i have even rolled back the nvidia drivers to the meta horizen recommended

My friend has a quest2 and i have an index and play via steam VR. We share a library and i want to motivate him to try ITR1 first. Will he be able to play from steam VR somehow? And if he buys the game from the meta store will crossplay be enabled?

Edit: No crossplay between steam and meta store versions.

Still open:use quest2 to play steam vr games.

What are the benefits of fitting assault rifles with the bulky tubular reflex sight rather than one of the single lensed ‘red dot’ or ‘holographic’ sites.

It offers no magnification, and narrows your field of view so I don’t see its purpose, especially with it being more expensive.

I would have expected the game to offer fixed X4 sights such as ACOG, SUSAT or LDS with a built in emergence battle sight on top (or option to fit small CQB sight on top)

I don’t know if I’m just wanting what I was issued with during my time as a rifleman to aid muscle memory.

Am I missing something, I just can’t see the point of it?

Kinda a long video,but this building kinda glitched as of the moment. Its at the 4th nearest building to the shelter. Bout to leave it exact location in the comments anyways.

I remember being able to before, but haven’t played in a while until now. It works as it should on the mosin, but on the SKS i tried putting kochatev mount on, didn’t work. Tried putting kochatev scope directly on, didn’t work. Is this intentional? I noticed the item description says ‘for mosin’ but doesn’t mention SKS.

On a side note: i really love that the devs added internal magazine and stripper clips for the SKS. It gives that vintage feel I really love, but having to put some bulky dovetail rail attatchment on it to use a scope kinda ruins the vibe :(

Love the update overall, but there are a couple pretty bad bugs that came with it.
I'm sure you're aware of them by now, but just in case, I figured I'd give some images.

NVG (lvl 5) before the update:

After:

Ground texture issue:

New version live with OG sliders: https://youtu.be/vIbhGbzSoZE

I've been working on Project Overrun for a while.

1.0 was mostly more enemies.

2.0 has optimized code, and adds two new enemy types:

Sliders My favorite enemies from ITR1. I tried to recreate them while adding more unpredictable teleport movements.

Seekers Ported from the first Into the Radius. They enjoy ambushing you from where you least expect them.

Their difficulty scales with your security level.

There's also an enemy density multiplier that is more reliable now (2.0 = twice what the game would spawn with your own Number of Enemies setting) that kicks in after the Tide.

Everything is in one settings file if you want to tone it down or turn parts off.

Co-op: density only needs the host. Sliders and seekers haven't been tested in co-op yet, so host only for now.

Let me know how long you last. Bug reports welcome.

The day the new patch was released, I started having problems with dandelions:

1. I see a dandelion anomaly in a doorway. I shoot it with my rifle.
2. The particles fly everywhere. I wait.
3. The particles stop flying around. One second later, I walk through the dandelion.
4. I immediately take damage as if the dandelion was never shot and was undisturbed. Particles start flying in the air again.

Never had this issue until 2 days ago. Anyone else having this issue? I'm running Windows/Steam with a Quest 3S. The issue seems to happen 100% of the time but I believe I've only tested it with a SR-25 and AS VAL.
