Enemies spotting me

[DNR.John]

Now, I know this is supposed to be a harder game, but I get spotted by enemies who have no clear sight to me. Im constantly getting shot through bushes by people I don't see. Again, I understand it's a hard game, I've played the original stalker. I just feel like enemy detection is really broken.

I was trying to sneak up behind some bandits who were in an active firefight with a group of stalkers.. the bandits were on the other side of a hill, facing away from me. I got spotted before even making it up the hill and was getting shot through bushes by people I can barely even see.

This isn't a stealth game. Also they can hear you.

This problem exists also in the previous titles unless you modded it.
Not an excuse, but just saying.

As I understand it, the A-Life 2.0 system is bugged and a patch is supposed to be in the works for today to fix it
This includes enemies spawning suddenly on top of you nearly and stuff like that

So heres hoping

If you've ever played any Stalker mods with the option to be hidden in bushes the game becomes a joke because there are so many bushes and each one is free invisibility that stop enemies attacking you. I'ts even more broken that way.

Detection has always been pretty jank in Stalker games.

Used to be that way. I've recently played with the GAMMA mod and had this enabled. It's not that way at all.

I was stalking 3 bandits patroling a road, was no problem for me to sneak kill them with a knife! PS: Love the stab animation :D

that's a false hope for sure. That mechanic is responsible for NPC "presence" (spawn), won't directly do anything to the tactical abilities or combat. Distance, alertness, perception, LOS vs environment are independent on that.

It seems to be a issue with alert enemies. I have had no issues sneaking up to enemies who aren't in a fight or searching, but as soon as they start firing at something else they will automatically know where you are.

Yeah, I should have been more clear. It's mainly an issue with enemies already in a fight. I can be around a wall hiding and once they are in a firefight I'm quickly spotted by them. From very long range even if I'm behind them.

Also, clearly hiding in a bush giving 100% cover would be ridiculous. However, I find it equally ridiculous that I'll be behind a tree and see nothing but foliage around me and I'm just getting sprayed with pinpoint accuracy from enemies I can't see at all, who were just in the middle of a firefight with people right behind them.

The more I play this the more I'm getting angry over the stupid AI. I was tracking bandits who are down a hill at the water. They start to see me so I back off and then two squads of bandits spawn around me and instantly notice me crouched behind a car.

Stealth is clearly broken somehow. no idea why I'm allowed to use a silencer. it does nothing really. :)

I know, someone said "It's not a stealth game." Did they even play? I'm on a mission to get to the basement as quietly as possible. It's night, there is a storm, I'm against the wall under a patrolling guard not moving, and he says "Suspicious activity!" And then everyone starts running around and I'm getting the they are spotting me rings from all over the place through walls. I manage to hide inside a big pit and I'm still getting the they spot me thing. Then I peek at a door, step behind because a guard is running down the hallway, and he sees me through the door and starts shooting.

THE MISSION is to be stealthy!
