Alife 2.0 - is it in the game or not?
basically title.
since thats the most important part of this game for me at least, i want to know if it is in the game and if it has its original functionality.

Not something named Alife that cheats by spawning/despawning. The real thing. is it or will it be in this game? thats the make or break argument for my buying decision.

thank you guys for informations in advance.

It is in the game, but it isn't working correctly. As we mentioned in the latest steam blog update, the A-Life bugs are noted and will be addressed in future patches.

Closing the thread, because the answer was provided.

They said it is in the game but it’s not working as intended so they will patch it.

Its in, but devs acknowledged that it needs work. I've seen stalkers wandering and getting attacked by fleshes but this situation happened very close to me just after exiting a cave. It feels too much centered around the player in my opinion. I haven't played much so take this with a grain of salt. I'm curious to read other people experience.

In Cordon, it works the same as in Shadow of Chernobyl.

In some other places, not so good.

Devs pretty much admitted its 100% broken.

Its in, but bugged out and broken at the moment. They have said a fix will come with the next patch if all goes well.
Cyrano Nov 22, 2024 @ 6:46am 
I'm reading that it may be impossible to implement as it was sold to use because of UE5. Which kinda sucks, not going to lie.

Once again, should have waited a month before buying game. Damn my impatient idiot self.

No, just random npcs going to nowhere, and despawn as you step awaya a little bit, as in any other game. X4 have simulation, where every NPC exists and does something, regardless of whether there is a player nearby, but here is nothing.

The devs are saying it is broken but it is clearly non existant. Whatever AI spawning system they have it is not following the fundamentals of what A-Life is all about. So to answer your question there is no A-Life whatseover. The devs have admitted that things are not working etc but im convinced they are referring to whatever inadequate substitue system they have in the game.

it may be even impossible or very hard to implement that system in UE.
that would be very sad if true.
my take that it in game just doesnt work at all and dev added this spawn system until they fix 2.0 which could take who knows how long and what really is the issue

Completely broken state.

I kinda don't want to carry on playing until its fixed, just broke the immersion for me when a group of stalkers spawned a few meters to the left of me. One stalker disappeared. Can't play like this. So to me there is no Alife 2.0 that's working at the moment, just seems like random spawns in front or behind you at the moment.

Its not broken it simply doesnt exist.

For example, emissions happen all the time outside town. because only a few NPCs will hide, the rest disappear as soon as you look elsewhere.

It's the constant spawning of enemies out of nowhere that kill it for me. I enjoy exploring the map but it is killing the fun.
