Stalker: Clear Sky Thread

When I started I set everything to max and it ran fine but then I went into the swamps and the god rays were gone.. I cant see them anywhere no matter the time of day and I have full DX10 + god rays on high so idk whats going on.. And I have 3 in game days played and I haven't seen them since I started.
 
gotta wait until Mon :cry: :cry: :cry:

Oh, well, hopefully there will be another patch on the 15th, and the NA version can be considered "stable" right out of the box. :toast:
 
AI is a little bugged... I went out for 30 mins after capping a point, and when I got back, it still said "Hold the point until help arrives" and no units were coming to help (you can tell who is, theyre a slightly different colour on the map)

1.5 is pretty darn stable. No crashes and very few hiccups for me. Call your local gamestop/eb man they probably have it :toast: all mine have it in!

already called around to a few Gamestops, even EB games - hell, I even called Best Buy (desperate, much?).

No one here will have a copy for sale prior to the 15th. Asshats!
 
anyone else not able to start the game? It just sits there with the splash screen.

yeah that worked for me. I read on the official forums that Stalker has a conflict with sound drivers :confused:

Dammit you cant sleep.. I need a sleep mod for 1.5.4 now :(
 
i just need a mod to make this game work , i am getting annoyed with all the ctd's (over 50 in total) . no matter what i try i get new errors each time , latest error below after a new install

Looks like you have a case of the AIDS. I would reinstall windows or try reinstalling the game with the latest 1.5.04 patch.
 
i have the latest patch installed , my windows xp install is 3 weeks old . i might reinstall vista to try that
 
Yea it runs great on my dad and I's vista rigs.

Also does anyone know how to get motion blur working?

I was playing for 3 hours tonight,fine,no crashes or anything.

I have an awesome weapon now,with underslung grenade launcher woot.
 
edit #n+1:
CS is a huge let down...
Some of my thoughts:
- the game is butt-ugly atleast in XP (no DX10), minor improvent compared to unmodded SoC (= worse than modded SoC),
- antialiasing is broken (as in SoC)
- video memory leaks are common (as in SoC)
- textures are poor quality considering how the game hogs video memory
- user interface is actually worse than in SoC (wth?!?)
- quests are mindless (there's no need to actually pay attention to them)
- maps are virtually identical to SoC, (ok, there are few new maps but some were also removed)
- ridiculous weapons (far, far from anything remotely realistic)
- weapon sound effects are utterly laughable - you can't tell if someone is shooting at you with a fixed heavy machine gun from 100 meters away, all you hear is "flap-plop-pop" when bullets start hitting around and at you (guns are supposed to make some noise you know?)
- difficulty levels are nerfed to retardness (enemies gain shooting accuracy and deal more damage to you - while yours are decreased)
- feels like a half-assed expansion rather than a full priced sequel
- owners of SoC are better off with kickass mods like Oblivion Lost

Does this on me on the original stalker, but mines coursed by a mod and happens when you try to load a save when you were using the mod.
 
Anyone know how to get AA working with DX10?
 
Barrel Rolls always work.

Or force it through drivers.
