Anyone have an idea of how to spot them outside of using cheatengine to have endless ap and going around until you bump in to them?
Nope,they see me even if i have max stealth for my level(15) and no debuffs from equipment. They just teleport to me and sting me.Avoid them altogether
My throwing skill is at 0,my guy couldn't throw a flayer let alone a grenade. Oh also you loose turn that way and they just rush to you,sting you and disappear again.Throw grenades all over the place like you're the US military and hope for the best.
Traps are extremely useless from what i have seen,they attack you before you can arm them,also i haven't met a stalker in place where you can use a chockhole with a trap.Traps and chokepoints. Every schmuck can use the basic bear trap, they immobilize the prey and those are good enough.
Molotovs are also good, not so much for damaging them, but as in the case of traps, they reveal them so you can pew pew.
Also, can't stress this enough: YELL! It reveals hidden enemies within line of sight, extremely useful against prestige crawlers.
Yeah i know that i can see stealth units but it is only a tile or two away,i use the speedhack and it is nearly impossible to spot the stalkers. Their sting ability looks like range thing or are they super fast. Most of the times i get hit while in stealth from 10ish tiles away. I wouldn't have minded to take the hit if they didn't disappeared after that,it is really annoying ability. I have noticed that running away and waiting the stun out gives you just enough distance for them to run next to you but not having enough AP for attack,thus giving you the opportunity to fuck them up. Also the gas grenade is informative,still doesn't change the fact that i have 0 in throwing.It's quite fun to be in an area where you suspect the crawlers are. I tend to lay traps in various places - or even stick around in a single-tile corner with a trap in front of me.
You can, AFAIK, see their outlines when they pass just by you, so you have to use your eyes too. Kalin's listed some other options.
Sometimes, if your character's simply not built for high PER, traps, etc., then you might simply walk in knowing that a crawler is on you - carrying plenty of antidotes and some way to stun the crawler once he attacks, so that his initial attack is the last thing that it does.
Definitely nowhere near difficult or ridiculous that you need to cheat it.
When I played I was doing heavy armour hammer build, so I just tanked the hit and threw whatever to get them to show up.I don't remember stalkers causing me much trouble, I'd usually mow them down with rifle auto fire in a turn or two.
I have already killed a dozen of them,still annoying as hell.
Another thing that just annoyed me is how the factions in the core city that you can't do other faction's quests if you join. It felt like the PoE dozens. Had to replay shit because of it.
Uhhh fucking fanboys . I don't go around on max speed and wondering why i get fucked by stalkers,i just point it out for the possibility that it could bug the game and making stalkers very fast outside of combat.I have already killed a dozen of them,still annoying as hell.

Or you could just... live with your choice.
So you're speedhacking into deep stalker territory and getting annoyed, then you're using up the time you saved reloading and replaying just because you missed out on a couple of quests. Sounds pretty shitty way to spend your time, but it's your life.
That's what a speedhack does mate, it makes everything fast outside of combat...i just point it out for the possibility that it could bug the game and making stalkers very fast outside of combat.
It has one or two bad design decisions sure, stalkers aren't one.The game have some bad design decisions
The one with fast travel system, and fast movement speed.Jesus fuck, is there any game in which you don't use cheatengine??
