Stalker: Clear Sky Thread

ZenZimZaliben · Oct 16, 2008

I just reached the part where you have to go under ground in the mutant tunnels. So rather then just go there I went to finish up some side quests, stock up on ammo and do a armor upgrade.

IF I try to go to the Garbage it crashes from any of the entry points. I can go to any of the other places, dark valley, swamp...If I try to get into the garbage from one of those area's it crashes as well. xrgame.dll crash.

So I guess I cannot get back there until I complete the mutant tunnel quest.

ShadowFold · Oct 16, 2008

If you played SHoC then it should look familiar

Do it first and try again.

ZenZimZaliben · Oct 16, 2008

Oh I see. So when I get back from the quest there will be the big environment change.

It should say something then..."You must complete quest before leaving this area" or something to that effect.

well i am loving this game now. just like the first. the atmosphere is very dense.

i'm just at the beginning, about to undertake my first big "mission." clear out the farmhouse. i like how their are a couple of creatures about and renegades here and there. the swamp is eerie and i like the sounds and the look of the sun and shadows. the music is great

if this keeps up i will enjoy it a lot

It slows down a little after the swamps but the last few hours are pretty damn intense.

ChromeDome · Oct 23, 2008

wow i'm in the swamp, just got done clearing the road, and its so DARK i can't see a thing. i almost thought something was wrong with the game until i turned on my flashlight

its really dark just like....um.....a swamp :rolleyes:

Aw. The game crashed yesterday and now everytime I load up a save, it crashes about a minute later. Everytime it crashes it is traight to the desktop without any messages of any kind. The audio makes a weird rattle sound as it closes though.

It crashed in both Garbage and the Dark Valley. I am quite a ways into the game where I have to go meet up with the Stalkers that were stuck in a space loop. It only started doing it recently. I have the 1.5.0.4 patch installed.

It should be noted that my current save is about half way through an emission. :s

i had that, there was a community patch i found on the forum that fixed it. I've since deleted the game due to its buggy nature, but that oughta get you in the right direction.

FordGT90Concept · Oct 23, 2008

Community patch? I'm working on downloading/installing 1.5.0.5. Is that the one you are talking about or something else?

something else. it was made by the community!

FordGT90Concept · Oct 23, 2008

Well, I've been playing for the last 15 minutes and it hasn't crashed on me yet. 1.5.0.5 apparently fixed it.

I also found a way to get over the creepiness: take off the headphones!

The music is what makes it tense. Take the music away and it is far less nerve racking.

ChromeDome · Oct 23, 2008

game has crashed on me a couple of times, too

at the beginning. once when i pass the first tower on my way to the church. i would climb the tower and a wounded Stalker is up there. i try to talk to him, and crash. each and every time wjen i press the "talk / use" key

same thing happened once when i went to talk to the barkeep

i hate it when games crash. it ruins my immersion!

ZenZimZaliben · Oct 23, 2008

Well I finished the game on hard. Excellent game. Horrible ending. I had to google "clear skies ending", just to be sure it was the actual ending...and in hopes of multipule endings and I just did the worst. Not the case...its the only ending. The only thing I got out of it is there will be a stalker 3...which is cool. That ending was pure garbage, imo. Such an awesome game and story except for the almost hurried ending. Oh well, just in time for Farcry 2.

FordGT90Concept · Oct 23, 2008

I'm stuck on the NPP roof (where there's stairs going up in the corner with a teleporter on it and going through the teleporter puts you on the same roof).

I got stuck in the exact same place on Shadow of Chernobyl. I dunno what to do.

Nevermind. I just dropped down to the ground and went after him that way. There was apparently a bug because he got stuck behind one of the buildings and didn't move at all when I shot him.

I really only have two things to say about it: 1) confusing and 2) not that great. Clear Sky plays more like an expansion than a whole new game. It's pretty sad how they reused a lot of stuff from Shadow of Chernobyl. There wasn't much new content there except the guides and upgrades, which are a nice improvement...

ZenZimZaliben · Oct 23, 2008

I will pm you...I don't want to be a spoiler.

in default settings , san rays are only visible till 8 am in the morning after sunrise ... u could try the cfg. i'm using to enable sun rays all the time .. the game simply looks amazing with that ... check the attachment .. if u have any problem post it here , or pm me ... and make sure u read the readme file first

Hello
I´ve used your mod and it does look amazing. However it´s too brigt for my taste. Could you please tell me waht line i need to edit on the config to have the 24/7 good rays and leave the bright option in default?

Also do i need to copy all the gamedata files or changing the user.ltx is enough?

Thank you and great mod!

InnocentCriminal · Oct 30, 2008

Excellent!

I've been taking a break from gaming now that my GF is down. As I'm away this weekend building a friends rig, he hasn't seen STALKER properly, so I'm going to install Clear Sky for him and see what thinks, having 1.5.0.6 from the outset should help matters.

jimmyme · Oct 30, 2008

I'm seriously impressed!!!!!
No definitive benches here BUT im now running with 2xAA in Dx10.1 and its smoother and looking better than ever! Nice free AA care of that .1 I guess!
Excellent work, must have for any new ATi card owners!

PS patch update for me = not loading past splash so I had to fix openAL32.dll -that file is such s sh*t for me...STALKER ROCKS!

I was just wondering if anyone's done the missions with the hermit yet? when I went to him I didn't get the location for the objective, he just told me to go to a house in the swamps in an anomaly, and that it would be easier to enter from the water. I went to the swamps and found no such house near any of the ponds or rivers. does anyone know how to do it?

you got way sidetracked . . .

go back to Agroprom, and head towards the marsh-lake in the NW area of the map. Towards the southernmost point, you'll see a hut (looks strikingly similar to the hut the crazy stalker had in SoC) - the PDA you need to retrieve is inside there.

be careful, though, there's a nasty sucker around that hut.

bassmasta · Nov 6, 2008

lol I just got to it. I went back, and got in the same way (stalkers aren't my friends this play through) and when I got down there he just started running away. I guess the game forgot he was an enemy when he gave me the mission. does he have any other missions worth doing? my only friendly save involved me walking through red forest with a markarov

he supposedly has one or two other tasks - one, I've heard, involves finding another PDA or flash drive that he'll reward you with a koyster grenade launcher for.

but in my current game, I haven't been able to get any other NPCs to fork over new missions. :ohwell:
