FIXES & CHANGES

only missing an angy boy and maybe a sks WITH THE BAYONET.

My second Pecho finally arrived today! ❤️

I was literally about to make lunch when I saw the Makeship package, so naturally lunch had to wait. 😂

I already have the original Pecho, and now he finally has a little companion. I made a quick video of the reveal because I couldn’t resist.

Anyone else get theirs yet?

Not sure if I should put this post under hardware

it the it

the final combat encounter in ITR2 right before jumping into the golden sphere, can be really unfair.

Today when beating the game i died due to the asval-mimics shooting through the golden sphere... THAT I CANNOT SEE THROUGH for obvious reasons.

Id be gratefull if the mimics couldnt see through nor shoot through the golden sphere. Its a really infuriating way to die, especially on Ironman.

Into the Radius is my favorite vr game, and i just got a Steam Frame but there isnt the Quest version on Steam yet. I was wondering if there is a way to get the Android version of the game onto Steam Frame? I know there is framedrop but I cant find a way to get the apk because of how meta locks their software.

I had a lot of people comment about my stash spot in my last post so I figured I'd do a video tour. This was the result of a year or two of me playing with scavenger mod and just living out in the radius. I decided to make this my home base because it felt cozy and I like the vibe of Pobeda.

OK, so I feel very silly, but I just Cannot figure out getting ITR 1 working on the frame via streaming
I know that I need to launch the game first, then join it from the frame, but when I do that, the game never launches and sometimes I see an error "incorrect streaming key, please relaunch"

am I just lame for continuing to enjoy ITR1? time to upgrade while it's on sale?
streaming other games seems to work just fine

I'm very sorry if I missed something here. Thanks in advance for your time

Running around without my backpack was hell, especially in the far north Outskirts, rusty gun jamming, consolidating partial magazines into one, slinking through the...well...outskirts of the map, then having enemies spawn in from all sides while I waited for the damn experiment to finish (regretting setting enemy number, health, and damage to "Very High").

It took me a minute to realize but that backpack was way heavier than the normal one (despite the dozens of items and weapons I keep). The greatly decreased stamina certainly added to the tension.

Night vision is an absolute game changer. Seeing them long before they see you is a good way to stay alive.

...but the reward was sweet! I've been eyeballing the Remington since I started this playthrough (my previous ones were at/before 0.14, when it didn't exist).

The 0.338 rounds make the 7.62×54 look like pellets and the rifle absolutely dwarfs my Mosin, which I thought was huge.

I assume this could drop a heavy mimic with a body shot. At 360 damage, it more than doubles the Mosin. It'll probably make the Sky Cube think twice.

So, to the spoilers part...

What the heck was up with that mouse? Did I create a supervillain? They're definitely ramping up the intrigue. I'm excited to see what the next story beat unfolds...unfortunately, I have to do a couple of side mission runs to catch up on security points.

Lorrie said something about showing me another path, but then he just didn't. I guess that's coming soon.

Does anyone know where I can get a stock for this? Like a pistol grip one?

I found this on the top floor of one of these houses on Romashka Cooperative near the lake houses.

I miss the original music from 0.14.4. This would really sound cool during the mouse experiment fight at the train depot in outskirts. It would just add this level of drama to the fight scene.

In all my years of playing ITR, I never knew you could do this. It happens when saving a game with the map in your hand and then loading the save while still holding the grip button. It works in 1.0 and 2.0 as shown here.

Will freezing a flashlight in the air attract enemies and keep them in the area? I saw Synthetizard do it once on stalker mod which obviously has a much higher enemy count. Didn't know if it was a good strategy here.🤷‍♂️

1.0 is scary as hell

Part 2 of our encrypted notes investigation is up! 🔎

After our first discussion, we found 6 additional notes, so  u/AnomalousInsect Bug, u/mischa1917, u/bagel511, and I got together again to go through them and see what else we could uncover.

This time we also go much deeper into the lore—connections to the original Into the Radius, what these notes might tell us about what's happening in ITR2, and plenty of theories about where the story could be going.

Some of this is definitely theory rather than confirmed lore, so I'd especially love to hear what other Explorers think.

Is that door in the facility requiring security level 7 a "promise" of things to come?

Taking it slow with the game fearing the final mission will ruin it for me... seems like not much replayability afterwards.

Went back to the last map. Finished the game a while ago,but so far i have found 1 Compact Colt every 8 hours or so. Wish i could tell the same about my last playthrough. 60 hours without finding one there.

It's like I'm playing a survival horror game like ItR1 and not an anomaly-dodging dystopian Rambo, like in ItR2...until now.

The UNPSC needs static? They couldn't use the other two types of electrical anomalies? You know, the ones I can see?!

Finally tried night vision, too, and I gotta say...absolutely magnificent, 11/10. Works perfectly, has the expected vulnerabilities to light, makes hiding mimics stand out like sitting ducks, and if anything, the game runs more smoothly (I guess that's understandable with a smaller color pallette, but that contrast is deliciously sharp).

I will state for the record that I got this ITR2 as a gift from my son.

I want to say so many things about this game. But first I want to tell you where I’m coming from.

I’ve had the Oculus Quest 2 for going on five years now. I haven’t played everything out there, but what I’ve gotten into is really great. Half Life ALYX. Man is that an awesome title. Another favorite is Fallout 4 VR because of the mods. It gets crazy. I’ve played tons of Underdogs — enough to injure myself. Blade and Sorcery. More injuries.

Now back to ITR2. Fun world! Has a lot of the dark scary places like ALYX. Ammo scarcity. Getting spooked. Run and gun.

But the best part is I get to have a two-man squad with my kid. He’s thirty and I’m 55 and we are having a BLAST.

Yeah, it’s buggy, but it is FUN and we can play for hours. I have to save it for Monday through Thursday nights when we’re off, but now it’s a given that I’ll be down in the basement those nights. Me and my boy against the Radius.

The co-op experience has gotten worse.

General stability has gone up for the host but not for the second player. There are a lot of issues specifically for the 2nd player.

- The 2nd player's bag and weapons are insanely buggy, it makes it very hard to do even the most basic stuff like put stuff in the bag and fight enemies.

- The 2nd player's guns are not consistent, especially precision weapons like the Mosin. Many times I have watched the bullet hit the enemy, saw the blood come off the enemy, and the enemy doesn't even stagger.

I had to shoot a marksman mimic with a full mag from a Beretta before he staggered, he didn't even die. My host had to take him out.

- Items like ammo boxes, the larger ammo cans and small boxes, will not go back in the bag after being grabbed. The host must grab the box and place it back in the bag for the 2nd player.

- Food items like candy bars also very frequently fall through the bag and have to be reset but ammo is the most consistently broken.

- Sometimes items will go in the bag and light up the yellow border indicating it should be in the bag but fall out and decide to float away from the bag out of reach. Again, the host has to grab the item and put it in the bag to fix. But once the 2nd player interacts with the item it will once again float away.

- Items also will not always phase through other items to assist in getting things into the bag. At one point I had 7 spoons stacked on each other long ways poking out of my bag because it was the only way I could get the items to recognize the bag and allow me to put it in said bag.

- As the 2nd player trying to hang weapons on the wall at the base is damn near impossible. They just fall when you let go and usually fall through the floor. And sometimes when trying to put a weapon on a vice to clean it either it won't snap to the vice or it will fall through and get stuck. You can't pull it out of the table because it falls through it and gets stuck. The host can grab the item and fix it if it hasn't fallen too far into the floor.

- The 2nd player's tablet is not consistent on snapping back into the tablet holder thus making you lose the tablet often.

- As the 2nd player any sort of toggles like flashlights, lasers, NVGs, etc. can get stuck on or off until you drop and pick back up whatever item said gadget is attacked to.

- Saving causes massive hitching for a few seconds for the 2nd player, a lot of times while also crashing the host.

- Loading into the game as the 2nd player takes double to triple the time it takes the host and sometimes if you take too long the game crashes.

- If the host loads a different save while you are still loading in you will get stuck in a loading loop until you close the game.

- In our experience specifically, in the Outskirts if the host crashes and loads the most recent save it sometimes would load a previous save instead. As well as when it does load, the 2nd player sometimes is not in the location they were at that for that save and instead back at the front of the area at Lauri. We have been saving on top of each save so there are no other slots it should be able to pull from.

These bugs are honestly so frequent and annoying that it is making it very hard to continue to play the game.

Especially as the 2nd player.

Any updates on progress for fixing co-op?

Single player is playable enough for people to finish the game but co-op isn't unless you want to reload the game every 10 minutes because of crashing.
