Game is UNPLAYABLE after SIRCAA

[Prestige]

Spoiler alert: if you haven't reached SIRCAA facility yet, just close this window.

I feel robbed. I've payed 80€ for a game totally broken after ~20 hours of gameplay.
I just finished my first encounter with the wish granter, met the only lady of the game, and headed to the lab where glitchs and graphic artefacts were the anomalies, and monolithic boys were looking SIRCAA agents, both waiting for something, I can't have any discussion whatsoever, doors a closed, I feel like there should be a fight between them, but nothing, just graphic issues.
There is no way any of the Devs have played this because no one would ever release a game this unfinished.. NO WAY.

I quit just after that too, I got a bunch of missions to go help settlements but can't get there it time? And when I do get there it's just this ghost town with everything broken n deserted.

Until GSC fix the problems with the bugged quests to a reasonable degree I'm gonna put the game down and just wait. I like it, it's fun but after a certain point the bugs just kinda break everything and the recent fixes don't fix borked saves where the bugs have already happened.

Yeah I just deleted the game for now.. I love stalker to much and playing the game in this state is painfull.
"GOTY" game or steam award, I don't think so.

Your post doesn't make it clear when this glitch occurs. I had a glitch occur right after the Ward turned on me at SIRCAA and I woke up from my dream. The room was empty and there was no way out. I reloaded my save, and after that it worked and I was able to speak to the doctor.

I'm not sure if this is the glitch you're talking about.

bro, you haven't seen anything yet. Stop flipping your tables and keep playing. It gets soooo much worse that its worth seeing in this broken state what they have to offer. Once patched, you'll never see it like this again, its wonderful!

Well, you interact with the wish granter, kill enemies, met the lady, save or kill the scientist form the beginning of the game, in this exact moment game start collapsing, you leave the dark room, the HUB disappear, most of the ambient sounds are gone, there is literally no one in the institute, you head for the lab because the PDA tells you to ( I don't know why) then I meet SIRCAA agents and some monolith folks downstairs. Glitchs are everywhere, shadows are awful, doors are for ever and ever bugged, you can.not talk to no one. Game is broken.

Bro you just teased me, I might re-upload the game to witness the black hole of singularity.

Didn't happen to me. Sorry about your bad luck.

You will likely need to reload; if that doesn't work go farther back, I know it sucks but that has solved any soft/hard locks i have had. I'm like 95 hours and have completed the games story. It sucks that it happens, Post SIRCAA isn't as polished as pre; and after entering Pripyat (which is a hott minute after SIRCAA) it only gets worse in my experience.

I had to beat the game without using personal stash because it crashed after the fight at Duga until the end of the game. I got pretty good at running light but thats only the worst of it. I had to still endure bug after bug, crash after crash. It got to the point I could only swap out artifacts in the vendor screen because taking a artifact out of equip slot would randomly cause a crash. (anywhere else)

Every game is unique, you have no idea which bug you'll get! Get your money's worth!

Slag heap calls for help via radio, but nothing happens there.

Yeah seems they didn't test anything after SIRCAA. Even at SIRCAA itself the floor reflection quality is ABYSMAL despite having all settings on max at 4k. Post-SIRCAA seems game is just in Early Access mode.

i still cant get past the teleport sirca misson
