Constantly taking damage when I move, persists to all and new saves

[AndyBono]

I cant find ♥♥♥♥ about this problem but I am going to respond that I too am facing this issue, I have removed everything from my body, have zero health issues, zero weight and zero radiation. If I move even slightly (walking) my health drops, if I run it drops even faster.

I have a save before I go to garbage and it seems that this issue is not present of this save. Either the gun I got from the garbage area provided by main quest guy (the pistol provided by Skif, I actually cant remove this one item from my inventory) is causing the issue OR the area garbage itself is.

I have also repaired all my equipment, to put in perspective the amount of health im dropping when moving I have gone through 80+ med kits and 70 plus bandages just WALKING, clearly this is not right.

Does this still happen if drop everything from your inventory on the floor?
What happens if you start a new game?

In a new game all work fine again, but...

Have you tried not carrying every last item in the Zone on your back? Can't hide that carry weight, OP. Put it down. I can assure you you don't need it.

Otherwise the mod you downloaded probably edited some script in the game (obviously to allow you to carry the weight of several humans on your back). Try getting your weight into the green and see if you still take damage. I can almost guarantee you that trying to surpass a basic game mechanic is the root cause of all of this.

The error happened before installing the mod. I installed the mod to be able to continue playing and test if it was something about the weight or the equipment I was carrying. So I know that the mod is not the cause. In fact I played for about 12 hours crouching but when facing 5 bloodsuckers in a mission it was impossible to kill them without running or moving fast and by this time I had already sent the bug to support. With no response and frustrated by the bug I installed the mod.

The video you posted shows you carrying a lot of items - Empty your inventory and move around - Still there? If yes, new game.

I just now got this bug as well during the Happiness for Everyone mission at the Duga. The constant damage had me wondering what it could be until I noticed it was only while moving around, but not while walking; so it must be this. Did you ever find a fix?, I am about 70 hours in myself and this is impossible to play with.

I reloaded a save from a few hours ago and it seems to not persist there. I don't know if I want to keep playing tonight tho, I am buzzed and troubleshooting ghosts is not what I want to do with my Friday night.

Funnily enough the newest save without the bug was about 30 minutes ago however, Skif was directly in the middle of a glass shard anomaly during that save.

lol I started retrying the mission anyways and the bug happened AGAIN but this time with the basic gravity anomaly every time it reset it would damage me. Its a bug where the anomaly trigger persists or something.

I've encountered identical issue early on. Inventory weight within regular range (although I'm using weird bottle), only taking damage while walking, but not when crouching. Started having the issue short time after walking through the tunnel full of broken glass anomaly. The bug has started randomly when I've entered the room without any anomalies, and immediately started bleeding as well, so it really does look like my character is under constant effect of glass anomaly. Will try to look for the anomaly to try that as a solution.

I'm really sorry, but I can assure you the game is not cheated. The bug actually started two days before my post, so I sent the report on the official website of the game and waited, but I didn't get a response. As the patch that had been announced for this week had not yet been released, I added a Nexus MOD optimisation mod that changes the amount of weight you can carry and lowered the cost of repairing weapons and armour. I really hope this helps! I followed the steps of a user here, uninstalled the game and reinstalled it, but sadly the problem persists. I also tried going through a glass trap to see if it was fixed (on Reddit several users with this problem said they had been solved by going through the traps again), but today I still have the same problem. If I walk or run I receive damage, but there's no bleeding or radiation, just the life bar going down.

I've tried everything! The only solution I've found is to start a new game, but I've been playing for 72 hours now, so I don't think I'll be doing that.

I haven't tried the console or put god mode, but it might be a good solution to be able to walk normally. The issue is that the experience of killing the mutants and facing the enemies disappears completely, which is a shame. I'll keep waiting for a solution from the development team. I've already posted it everywhere, but there aren't many people with this error.

Modifying your carry weight is very much a cheat especially in a game like this where inventory management is about 35% of the main game mechanic.

reload your saves, if the bug is still there then reload an older one; keep going back until it stops

[LronMcBong]

in my case this bug stared when fighting in SIRCAA territory. the base blows up and you have to rescue an usb stick. as soon as you get inside the building and one level down there is a poltergeist. somehow i get bleeding damage and it doesnt go away anyhow

[UNKN0WN]

The team Suport answer to me this.

"Hello Stalker,

Thank you for reaching out. We’re aware of the issue you described, and our team is actively monitoring related reports. We understand how this impacts your gameplay experience, and we’re working to ensure it’s addressed in upcoming patches.

While we don’t have additional updates to share at the moment, we recommend keeping your game and platform software up to date, as future improvements will include fixes.

Currently only way to fix this issue is to go back to the anomaly that started doing the PSI damage and entering it again. When the damage effect triggers again it resets the permanent psi damage issue."

But the error still there
