haven't looked yet - been meaning too . . .

if there's one for the Russian release - it might work, but I wouldn't bet money on it.

I have tried the EGIGS and Russian versions and they don't work because they are programmed for Star Force and the US version uses that tages crap.

Yeah, it's weird - I tried the left/fence side first but it seems that the damn gunner gets a HS on me or something, as I get hit I stop sprinting and can barely even make it to the cover...oh well, I'll take a stab at it later on again

and i thought i was good ....

InnocentCriminal · Sep 18, 2008

This was before any of the patches, so I had loads of medi-kits both army and standard and I just ran like a motherhumper been chased by a angry husband! I think I had about 11 army medi-kits and 14 red and when I had got pasted the bastard MG I think I had about 5 army ones left or something like that. Medi-kits don't go far at all.

I've had to start again since I got the 1.5.04 patch, took me a little longer to do it this time around. :/

TUngsten · Sep 18, 2008

Well, past it now.
Where did you get the army med kits before getting to the military base? I didn't come across any until Cordon..

Deleted member 24505 · Sep 18, 2008

Basically i loot every body and sell all the guns i can find,even if it means 3 or more trips back and forth.

Does multiplayer work? i cant find a single server.

Well before they addressed the trunk/chest/storage issue, I'd find a shit load of ammo and medi-kits in basically any trunk I open. Was a nice lil bug, but I knew it had to go.

I think the servers are down because I could see them when I got it but then a few days later they were gone.. idk about Europe but in America we got hells load of lag when trying to play.

I just picked up Clear sky, but I've never played stalker before so I thought buying clear sky first would make since because its a prequel and all. but I may need some help and advice from you guys that have played it before.

ShogoXT · Sep 20, 2008

Well I put in more ram and it cleared the big problems, but I still cant get it to smooth with either Crysis or clear skys.

largon · Sep 20, 2008

I play(ed) on Master and got past the machine-gun-by-the-tunnel by sprinting behind rocks and trees and the small hill on the left. Then after I got my AK-74 repaired I came back from the opposite side and slaugtered the whole checkpoint. 3 times in a row. Packed the loot in a corpse an dragged the pile in the camp and made itty-bitty profit by selling about sixty AK-74s and AN-94s...

MUHAHAHAHAHAA!

That's how you do it!

Jess Stingray · Sep 20, 2008

Also, if you look from where the machine gun fire is coming from in the tower, there's that super cool gun I use, but you can't seem to buy in the game. You can't pick it up though, you have to know where to look / how to get it.

MadClown · Sep 20, 2008

I ran this on DX10 mode and it ran marginally better than full dynamic did on my old rig, so i set it back to full dynamic as the first stalker looked good enough, but i still get hiccups, mainly because of the grass density, and this game is realy fricken hard on novice.

Mussels · Sep 21, 2008

i got warhead and clear skies yesterday, i'll let you know how i fare once i get around to playing it

imperialreign · Sep 21, 2008

I've noticed a little skittering when turning and such - I thought at first it was low FPS, but no . . . then I realized I still had 60hz enabled under options, disabling it improved some, but still noticeable . . .

only seems to happen during certain times of day . . . it's like vsync is stuck on, but you don't have the processing power to keep a steady frame rate.

imperialreign · Sep 22, 2008

just to give this thread a little bump, a screenie I took earlier. regular maxed-out FDL:

eFDL sucks too much raw-power from me at the moment, that should be fixed once I can install my second GPU later this week.

Still, for standard FDL, DX9.0c - that's pretty damn nice looking, IMO

TheMailMan78 · Sep 22, 2008

Is this game any good? The first one was way to involving. I draw the line when I have to eat IN the game.

it's improved more in some ways, and in other ways it's a step back - depends on your tastes and your impression of SoC.

food is still in game - but there's no point in carrying it around, really. You "get hungry" nowhere near as often as in SoC. Once per gameday, maybe, you'll see the icon pop up, and it takes forever before it actually starts affecting you - it should've just been removed at that point.

bleeding takes a lot longer to go away on it's own - making bandages a necessity, as medkits don't heal severe bleeding (it seems). radiation takes forever to disapate as well, meaning you've got to haul antirads or vodka around with you.

artifacts are rare, and only a few are really helpful. You have to use detectors now to even find one - they're not all over the place like in SoC.

AI is improved, and factions are constantly fighting with each other. You can join up with one of the 4(5) different factions, and help their cause, or you can stay out of it. The factions constantly have stuff that needs to be done, but you're not forced to help, and if you don't only affects you negatively if joined with that faction.

IMO - it's worth the download to try out, first. The game is definitely an aquired taste compared to other FPS.
