[BUG] Trade Interaction stuck on my HUD permanently

[DeLindsay]

First, yes I do own the game, but on GoG. I'm asking this here because the Devs just aren't responding on twitter, Discord or reddit. And yes, I've filled out the form at support.stalker2.com and still waiting for a response.

In the 2nd Zone I started my 1st quest and went to a house where I had to enter the roof over that Trackhoe's boom arm. When I exited the house an encounter with 5 friendly NPC's and Boars happened. Once all Boars were dispatched I went to speak with the NPC's, one of whom had the ability to Trade so I did.

As soon as I exited the Trade menu I noticed that Icon lower center of the screen and 'Esc to close' lower left side of screen was still present. I've tried everything I can think of to get it to go away and nothing works. Anyone else had this issue and figured out a workaround?

Here's my Discord question so you can see the screenshot of what this looks like:

No response at all from GSC Games. Granted I'm 1 of many that have been stuck with Bugs in Stalker 2 so it's not unreasonable for the Devs not to quickly respond to my 1 Bug specifically.

The only thing I found to work is reload from an earlier Quick Save. And this time I just let the Boars kill those NPC's so it wouldn't happen again. Though, it'll probably happen later, I doubt it was specific to one of those exact NPC's as they were generic, not Story Named.

I've been playing all day with this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bug. I have no idea where I started.

Reading the upcoming Patch notes (for next week) GSC is 100% aware of it and has a fix for Controllers? I'm Keyboard and Mouse so not certain it'll fix my issue if it happens again.

Had the same issue, the way I fixed it is by downloading the UETools - Developer Console . Debugging here: https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/64?tab=description
Then when you're in game you hit the ~ key and type in: XClearDialogQueue
