Stalker: Clear Sky Thread

y'know - i just dawned on me . . . we should be seeing new CAT drivers within the next week, and considering how long CS has been available now, I'm sure ATI users will see some sort of improvement in CS performance once the new drivers hit . . . which will probably be this week.

Jess Stingray · Sep 14, 2008

Mine lags horribly for some reason now... strange.

If I get 60fps instead of 35 I will be happy

Already runs good for me with 8.8 but a little boost wouldn't hurt. I do hope they implement AA with it cause I cant get it to work at all with DX10 on(or any dynamic lighting).

MUST KILL GSC, damn i'm so frustrated with the inaccuracy of the guns like in SoC. I'm standing like 2 yards away with a Spas shotgun and the dart rounds won't hit the zombie which despite being a zombie and according to the doctor dude have only animal instincts, they still retain pin point accuracy.

That really grinds my gears. In SHoC (haven't seen this happen in CS yet) I would stand looking in another direction and still manage to aim and hit me. Made me laugh after a while.

TUngsten · Sep 16, 2008

Got my copy today as expected, no issues yet, and DAMN I think it looks great. SoC took tons of tweaking to get looking really good, this looks great straight out of the box...only got to play for an hour though, more thoughts later.

ShiBDiB · Sep 16, 2008

been playing for the past few hours... not really impressed. no major improvements over an otherwise average game

InnocentCriminal · Sep 16, 2008

I must admit, I was slightly disappointed as well, but since the 1.5.04 patch I'm really starting to get into the game. I love the update to the engine, ok, so it hasn't really brought much to the plate if you can't enable the DX10 feature set, but the little differences over the X-Ray really have impressed me. For example, the way enemies jump over things and take cover. Weapons are more accurate, and the enhanced texture quality (even with the slider in the middle) look pretty damn good.

I can see my initial thoughts of disappointments being completely pissed on once they've released another patch to fix some of the bugs - saying that, I've only ever crashed twice!

Guru3D have done a 3D Performance review - check it out!

MilkyWay · Sep 16, 2008

the game shouldve been like this from the start, ill get it only when ive actually got into the orginal stalker

once they start to either patch or mod the game to get most of the bugs out and improve even more it could turn out nice

InnocentCriminal · Sep 16, 2008

For those of you that have completed Clear Sky already and are looking for a mod, I found this over at the GSC Game World forums - Solyanka 0.2

Doesn't exactly appeal to me, maybe once I've completed Clear Sky more than once and had a dick about with Oblivion Lost for SHoC etc. Might be a good thing to add to the first post/front page?

Deleted member 38767 · Sep 16, 2008

Does the game runs stable with the latest patch on 8800 series video cards now? I'm thinking of trying it, but don't want to pay for unplayable game.

exo17 · Sep 16, 2008

Well, I finished the game but I didn't understand shit about what happened at the end. It was a good game though and the atmosphere at night, for example, was amazing.

Now I think ill play through it again, focusing more on the faction wars than the actual missions.

sure tehre isnt a keyboard shortcut for that? ctrl click, etc?

InnocentCriminal · Sep 16, 2008

Nope, they fixed it! Plus they added the stamina bar to the HUD which was another one I wanted.

:rockout:

TUngsten · Sep 16, 2008

I really love it, the quasi-RPG elements (missions/trader/factions) etc. combined with the atmosphere, great apocalyptic design, FPS action that truly scales with increased weapons, upgrades, and such.

I think it really hits home for me as a solo, non-MP style oldschool gamer.

I think it's time to upgrade to the RV770s

Just installed CS last night, and gave it a whirl - everything maxed out for DX9 (extended FDL), at 1440x900 . . . averaging 30-35 FPS :twitch:

Turn off extended and go to standard FDL, and I'm running same frame rates as with SoC - 60+ in most areas.

Damn, Crysis didn't even put that much of a strain on this rig!

I'm thinking I might be in touch with a couple of 4870s this Friday :laugh:

Anyone know where I can get a no CD patch for 1.5.04?

I got this through Steam today and I get BSOD on launch. No clue which patch steam is using. Absolutely nothing wrong with my pc or drivers. I'm dx9 winXP, 2gig ddr2, 9800gtx, quadcore pentium.

ShadowFold · Sep 17, 2008

I'm pretty sure a ATi 9800GTX wont run the game
