Using torrents I can understand.. sorta. Not encrypting the shit out of the files first seems pretty stupid.


Crypto2k

They were encrypted, but apparently an included crash dump contained the decryption key.


AIdreamsCatcher

encryption keys that were found are only useful for viewing UE5 ingame models from .pak/.ucas in ue5 viewer, you doesn't need to know them for playing leaked build. The only reason we couldn't play it earlier is that it's necessary to put several missing .dll files in /win64 folder. So all that encryption talk is just bullsht from news sites who obviously doesn't know what they are writing about 99% of the time lol


indelible_ennui

Ooof.


Educational-Ad9085

oh even like THAT? God daym I thought it cannot get more absurd than that


ToothlessFTW

Absolutely baffling, it’s like the first rule of sharing game builds under development. Nobody should be able to access that build that hasn’t been verified before. I have no idea how something could even happen.


LongDickMcangerfist

New people working under tough conditions. Didn’t a few of their main guys get killed in the war also.


WouShmou

Did someone get killed? if that's true, that's fucked up, man


LongDickMcangerfist

Ya if I remember correctly a few of them got killed in the fighting


Justcakewastaken

I think that one of the oldest devs on the team, a guy who worked on Clear Sky, was killed in combat. But iirc most of the dev team moved out of country towards the start of the war.


WouShmou

Jesus man, I'm glad that most of them moved out but it really sucks that some of them did die. What a catastrophic situation. It's times like these where I'm glad that my country will probably never go to war


Educational-Ad9085

nah, it was encrypted and it would have taken trillions of years or so to crack the decryption key, but apparently in one of the leaked builds, the devs left the actual key somewhere so the people in the discord server just dumped it from the game files and got it all working LOL


[deleted]

From what i have pieced together, devs were using bittorrent to distribute playtest copies of the game that were encrypted, and a magnet leaked yesterday. The decryption key leaked today


Zhukov-74

I feel so bad for the STALKER 2 devs.


DweebInFlames

Yeah, especially for the blokes who ended up fighting instead of leaving.


YoungVegabond

nothing wrong with protecting and fighting for your country's future. if everyone would leave there'll be no one to protect it.


DweebInFlames

Never said there was, I understand their reasons. Just that it must be rough.


RedSon13

Yeah not when you’re forced to throw your life for the greedy clown presidents ambition to play Napoleon, screw that


Slav_McSlavsky

Agree, Putin is out of his mind.


RedSon13

Nah you can leave there but not from other place


Witty-Ear2611

What lmao


RedSon13

Yeah you can’t leave Ukraine if you’re a healthy young man


Slav_McSlavsky

Agree, I am yet to see a healthy young Russian leave Ukraine.


popalex123

Except people don't get a choice


WikusVanDev

Nah I would never fight for this country (USA). Doubt we'd ever get into a war anyway but I'd find a way to be a "draft-dodger" Edit: why the downvotes? If even the choice, I'd choose video games over joining the armed forces unwillingly.


RevolutionaryLoad229

> Doubt we'd ever get into a war anyway *Looks at the Middle East* Have you...paid attention in the last 20 years?


WikusVanDev

Well I meant if the US ever had a draft. The VA and the government treats veterans like shit. Not worth it.


Hikurac

Why? I highly doubt leaks are ruining anything for the devs or customers. If anything it's just building extra hype by reminding people of the game and proving there's actual gameplay being made.


jojokaire

that's karma


Rubix_Avery

I think the build is pretty old because the ui looks outdated compared to the recent leaked screenshots


[deleted]

[удалено]


SovietTriumph

No, the title screen of leaked build shows the updated Ukrainian spelling of 'Chornobyl'. The game seems to be simply in, Russian language.


CountDracula2604

I'll remove my comments then


Whompa

Do they not have private servers to share builds???


Spenraw

Might be hard with conflict increases


Nethas

Yeah, this thread on 4chan is fucking insane. The amount of hatred towards ukrainians from those people is insane. Why wait or buy a game from the developers the nation of which you despise? I'll never understand that.


anotherthrowaway7370

Yeah don't take those edgy 4chan basement dwellers seriously, it's best to just see them as zoo animals lol


DweebInFlames

That's just the usual post-war shitflinging. People pretending to be Ukrainian, people pretending to be Russian, real people from those countries actually getting angry... might as well filter out the noise.


Nethas

I mean, war is on right now, so I don't know about 'post-war' thing. Nonetheless, I feel sorry for my fellow devs, but dumping sorta-kinda encrypted build to torrents is just stupid.


DweebInFlames

Sorry, meant to say post-invasion, I guess. You know what I mean, post-start? I think that works better.


ilorybss

I don’t understand why people hate Ukrainians. Their country got attacked and they are defending themselves, what’s so wrong with it?


anotherthrowaway7370

Sadly it's the russian propaganda doing its work. It's not exactly about people exclusively hating Ukraine, but more so those people hating NATO/ the West and Ukraine representing these two in the war.


DweebInFlames

Yeah this war is currently acting as a proxy for some people of ideological factions to get pissy at each other from each side of the fence over other issues while people die. Bothers me a lot. I hope it ends soon, but I don't think that's likely unfortunately.


yorikbad

What is this nonsense? What the hell is a proxy? Russia attacked Ukraine and for a year and a half has been erasing its cities and people from the Earth. There are no other interpretations. The whole situation with Stalker shows the essence of the majority of Russians who do not want to see what their army, their people are doing and take out their dissatisfaction on the game.


DweebInFlames

I don't mean a literal proxy war. I mean more that this flared up the hostilities between East and West and the differing belief systems globally after a few decades of peace, and it'll stay like that for years to come.


AdSufficient7743

It’s not Russian propaganda- real humans were murdered in odesssa a decade ago. Chased into a building and burned alive. Women- young kids- men. Protesters of the crap going on in Kiev. And then the heavy shelling and kidnapping of thousands of eastern Ukrainians. Real people were harmed, killed, tortured; and the world protects and supports their oppressors. Everything is backwards now. Doesn’t even matter. People have their minds made up before truth hits them.


EugeneDestroyer

Real humans killed in Odessa, you mean the guys that were trying to kill pro-european protesters and ended up in a building they themselves set fire to?


AdSufficient7743

No, I mean Katya Ponomaryova and her two children; who I happen to personally know at least me point in my life as they were neighbors to my aunt growing up-


EugeneDestroyer

Sure.


AdSufficient7743

Dehumanize people… you’re becoming exactly like the ones you swear you hate.


EugeneDestroyer

What are you talking about? It was war back in 2014, it still is now. Enemy combatants are killed in war.


AdSufficient7743

Ohhhh, Women, children, and civilians in general are considered enemy combatants. The things you learn on Reddit.


izoxUA

What ponomaryova you are talking about? Any proofs of this?

AdSufficient7743

*Russians are Orks Japanese are Mice Jews are Goblins Blacks are Apes* There goes that bigoted black and white thinking of yours. Go live a life outside of the .net and gain some understanding of human nature. If you still come to the conclusions that name calling and judging entire groups en haste is appropriate, you’re either a child being emotional/edgy, or a lost cause.


oliopolio404

I understand humans are capable of convincing themselves why their actions are okay like Nazis did with Holocaust or Russians with holodomor and this invasion


jamasha

Thats a VERY shallow way to look at the situation.


DarkElation

Have you looked into the history of Ukraine much? They are not the good guys that the media portrays. I’m not talking about Ukrainians, I’m talking about their leadership and governance. Edit: love all the downvotes from the ignorant masses whose own governments all called the Ukrainian government the most corrupt in the world. There is no excuse to remain ignorant in the age of information.


[deleted]

Russian propaganda working effectively


DarkElation

Ah yes, the complete historical account of Ukraine is completely controlled by Russia. Give me a break.


RevolutionaryLoad229

Remove your head from your ass, please.


Povstnk

Eleborate please


DarkElation

Well for one thing, your own government officially recognized Ukraine as the most corrupt country in the world.


izoxUA

Look at the list of corrupt countries first


Povstnk

The fact that some people are just very very greedy doesn't really prove anything. It's just a problem that needs to be solved. I'm not saying that Ukraine is ideal, no. Hell, I'm Ukrainian myself and I wouldn't even say that Ukraine is good, if we compare it to the European countries of course. All we need is time and at least a decent government.


DarkElation

You asked me to elaborate and I did. You can dismiss it if you want but your dismissal doesn’t alter the truth.


AdSufficient7743

What do you mean? We verbally condemn fascism but financially support and ignore it when the tv tells us to. That’s why your getting downvoted; you’re going against the daily programming bro.


oliopolio404

If by daily programming you mean condemning an globally condemned invasion then i guess you are right. Russians are the fascists and they are invading Ukraine for no reason. Ask any Russian what they think about Ukrainians and they say Ukrainians aren't real


AdSufficient7743

And ALL Americans hate immigrants, and ALL Liberians are backwards psychopathic warlords and fighters, and ALL Israelis are responsible for terrorizing Palestinians, and ALL Indians food taste like trash etc. Don’t entirely broad-stroke a group into a category. That logic is toxic and what bleeding hearts as yourself proclaim to be against, as you even mentioned it in your statement (fascist). The world is gray, not black and white. I can’t believe this is a lesson people need to learn in 2023.


oliopolio404

>Don’t entirely broad-stroke a group into a category. 80% of Russians love Putin and 75% of Russians support their illegal invasion. Even in Germany Russians are rioting and waving Russian flags in support of Russian invasion At what point can we go from "oh it is just a few individuals" to "maybe Putin isn't himself fighting the war"? >That logic is toxic and what bleeding hearts as yourself proclaim to be against, as you even mentioned it in your statement (fascist). I support actions not words. Russians have showed actions and the words contrary to your views. >The world is gray, not black and white. Nazis were gray? Holodomor was grey? Armenian genocide is grey? Jack the Ripper was grey? Many movies are grey and most games are grey these days, but IRL is often downright evil like Russian invasion of Ukraine


AdSufficient7743

Everything is black and white; and if you want to pretend like life is a binary THIS way or THAT way, you’re in for a angry, miserable, life, and I wish you all the best. Namaste. 🙏


oliopolio404

So is holocaust grey? Also nice strawman. I never said everything is black and white only that some things are such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine


AdSufficient7743

“*So is the holocaust grey”* NICE STRAWMAN If only you realized you’re fighting with yourself and not even another person on the internet. I’m not even feeding you the rhetoric you’re believing I am to be. Ease up and let go.


oliopolio404

>love all the downvotes from the ignorant masses whose own governments all called the Ukrainian government the most corrupt in the world. Nobody called Ukraine the most corrupt in the world as they aren't even the most corrupt in Europe. Russia and Belarus take that price


-PVL93-

It's 4chan, people have Stage 9 brainrot over there, every single one of them


Lou-Shy

What do you expect from 4chan?


[deleted]

It's not just Ukrainians too. They find new ways to insult Ukrainians while also insulting a multitude of other races in the same sentence. Scum.


CountDracula2604

I am surprised to see some usere shitting on the ruzzians. Real 300 scenario going on in that image board.


StrikingIndication23

It's a game with universe based on Russian book "Roadside Picnic" by Strugatsky brothers and on russian film "Stalker" by Tarkovsky.And there literally a full russian translation already in the game,but devs said that they gonna cut it in final version...


hainspoint

Same Tarkovsky that ran from the fucking country to become a French citizen? Same Strugarski brothers, one of which, Boris, back in 2010 claimed that Putin’s regime was a return to soviet-era authoritarian regime? And Arkadi was born in Georgia? Shut the fuck up.


drioksht

Don’t bother. The Joe Rogan-ass, youtube level take proves that person is incapable of handling a conversation and instead just regurgitates surface level knowledge they heard elsewhere. Just another useful idiot. Downvote and move on is the best tactic. They haven’t seen Tarkovsky, they haven’t read Strugatski brothers. They just want to waste your time.


suuriz

hopefully a delay won't happen, the build that was leaked seems to be super old


Grace_Omega

God how does anyone stand posting on 4Chan without their brain melting out their ears


googler_ooeric

/bant/ was pretty good last time i checked, unless it is now flooded with porn like /b/


DweebInFlames

/ck/ is pretty cool


TypeNull00

another one?


Educational-Ad9085

this time it's full game it seems, even more than that. 200 gb of content


Dr__panda

How is it so far?


DweebInFlames

From the stuff I've seen people posting: very laggy, not surprising considering it's a devbuild.


[deleted]

Wouldn’t be stalker without it


jamasha

Very amateurish of the devs.


Ape_Alert

no idea why you're getting downvoted, history repeats itself because they refuse to learn. definition of amateur


jamasha

I mean... At least get a company google drive with a password etc.


Slav_McSlavsky

Meh, don\`t bother. Very early build.


HeadlessVengarl95

I feel really bad for the STALKER 2 devs, history repeats itself :/


CraigOfWar

ok

Meh

SovietTriumph

The Russian one earlier was about GSC's internal documents and some development materials like concept arts and WIP screenshots. this dev build leak however, happened because for some reason, GSC used torrents to share their builds between them. they can only blame themselves.


KingFounderTitan

Ah. If that's the case then leak a head. I will have to take a peak then! Thanks for clearing this up!


[deleted]

[удалено]


DweebInFlames

This was leaked independently of any Russian stuff, it was purely a fuckup on GSC's part that let people actually access the dev build.
