It's strange all the problems you're having - i have very similar specs to you and yet i haven't experienced any problems with this game whatsoever.....:|
 
I'm finding zombies and snarks a real bitch at the moment. I'm about to enter Lab X16 and there's a helluva lot of them in that area. At first I got easily frightened by the snarks but eventually I just thought "f*ck it!" and now I'm the one rushing after them with my shotgun, or knife.

As for zombies, they're tough as hell. As long as I can pick them off from a distance with single-shots I'm alright but it still consumes alot of ammo, the type that is hard to find in that area.

All in all, despite the frustrations with some enemies it's a real nice game. Much better game as well as atmosphere than Far Cry.

SEVA suit kicks ass :D

So where is that SEVA suit? Cause I've been exploring the railroads part, found that family rifle and am on my way back to the town as I don't see anything else interesting there. Didn't see the SEVA suit.

And BTW - do items disappear over time if I drop them on the floor? What about if I put them in a stash? Cause right now I'm close to my limit, even though I just traded and I've got stuff on me that might still be useful for me.

I've just been throwing junk on the ground when I cant carry it, and it doesent seem to disapear.
I usualy toss it on a road that is en route to a trader so I can pick it up on my way back.
 
2 other things that make me wonder - how do you get impact damage and how exactly does the Meat Chunk artifact work. It has a few drawbacks, but it's advantage is +400% Health. Does that mean I heal 4 times faster or do I have 4 times as much health? I had two of these in my belt and didn't feel like I had 8 times the regular amount of health.
 
Is night-time not dark at all for anyone else? Even at 1:00am I can still see fine without my flashlight or night vision. If anything, night vision makes it harder to see outside. I'm not really sure if this is to do with static lighting or something.

Up your contrast. if you up your contrast enough you can't see anything at night but day looks normal.

Unfocused: You get the SEVA suit if you rescue the scientists the first time you enter that area. Also, items stay forever. I keep all my stuff in a stash at the bar.

Oh well, no SEVA suit for me.

Anyone else had some problems with the Arena? I'm on the fight with those two Spetznaz guys and it literally takes a clip for each to take them down (and shooting at the head doesn't do much, probably doesn't hit there). For example I rush right away, spray at one of them, he turns his back at me and starts running away, I shoot at his back, he staggers, regains balance [I'm still shooting; 5 meter range), I run out of ammo, he runs away. I'm playing on Veteran difficulty BTW.

EDIT: http://media.putfile.com/wtf-44-70 - wtf I'm shooting at him and he doesn't even blink, just calmly approaches me while shooting his gun. ><

EDIT2: OMG after like 10 or more attempts I desperately rushed them with my knife and killed them like that. So dumb D: Some of these firearms are ****ing useless.

Hmm today i was actually able to play for about an hour than i lost sound then shortly after blue screen then it restarted. AHHHHHH


Just saw this!!!

New nVidia-drivers coming soon
Relating to Firingsquad.com, nVidia will release a new S.T.A.L.K.E.R.-optimized graphics-driver for the GeForce 8 - series next week.
The new optimized driver should increase the performance especially on GeForce 8800GTX cards, because these cards aren't much faster than their "little brother", the 8800GTS, when playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. with current available drivers. Additionally the new driver should provide the missing SLi-functionality in the game.

Ok, that's good news for you cutting edge jerks.

But, please do not use that font combination again.

My eyes, the goggles do nothing...
 
Not really.

Some Good Weapons:
TRs 301 /w Scope ~ This gun is more of my head shot gun. Pretty good at nailing head shots with it.

SGI 5k (Or is it SGL?) ~ I havn't been able to scope this and not sure if I can. Very Fast Firing, Very Low Recoil, Incredible Accuracy, Good Damage.

I cant see a damn thing at night. Im using dynamic lighting though.
 
It's dark at night for me and I can only see when lightning flashes occur. Makes it extra hard to shoot Bandits. :(
 
Ok i need some help on a mission . Its finding the family rifle its not in the darn shed that the mark on the map shows i open the three lockers and there is no rifle ??? anyone know whats up?

Its below ground.
 
I'm at the garbage.


Jeez this game is hard. I was looking through a stash and when I turned around there were like 15 bandits all standing in a row behind me :sleep: Is it safe for me to be carrying around 20 pistols? I decided to stash them all in a box at the hangar.

The only problem with carrying that many weapons is that it weighs you down.

I used to as well...click on bandit, hit u, loot all. Then I started being more selective.
 
Ok this is pissing me off. So I reloaded my gun and saved. Died. Now when I come back to my reload I have between 1 - 3 guys starting in various postions behind me and an unloaded gun. WTF

I just started from the autosave. But I had no chance in hell of making it. You see there was only two ways to go. Backwards to them 3 guys. Or turn into a doorway which had another guy.

Now i'm low on ****in medkits and I don't have a suit so i'm basically ****ed and will die of radiation posioning.

I hope you werent to far in the game cause you might have to restart.

Juat a bad quicksave i guess good luck
 
I got through that Alan by starting from an autosave. However, now i'm overly ****ed in my current state.
 
Yeah, you run like fifty ****ing miles and hour with the sprint button. Btw, im very dissappointed with stalker. It's very mediocre like Boiling Point turned out to be.
 
Nigthtime seriously needs to be made darker. I have the same problem where using flashlight makes it harder to see something. I generally keep it off so I know where the enemies are.

Exact opposite for me. It's PITCH BLACK at night, and daytime is still pretty damn dark.

Have to use night vision ALLOT.

It's in a stash. Gotta find somebody that activates the stash in the Wilderness area.

Description reads that it's inside of a safe inside of a house.
 
I've buggered around with contrast and it's a little darker now, but if I change it anymore daytime starts to look horrible. I wish my 9800 Pro supported dynamic lighting though. It's a bit dodgy, because the x800 is SM2.0 as well, yet that supports dynamic lighting and my card doesn't. :(

Anyways, I've been messing around in the Freedom base mostly, trying to pick up as much loot as I can before I finally go into the dark valley and the labs. I've been putting that off for a while now. :D I hope there isn't any of the controller guys who mess with your brain. I actually shat a brick when I ran into that one after Streloks stash.

That caught me by surprise too. I initially thought it was a bloodsucker growling, turned around and there was this slow walking, zombie like creature. I thought it was harmless until I started hearing a high pitched squeel defening me though the speakers :x

I tried to tried to throw a grednade at it (I couldn't he kept on psyking me out). Ended up whipping out my knife and slicing him one, point-blank in the face

Does that guy actually do anything else than annoy you? When you get close it acts as if it has parkinson.

I think he only harrases you as a defensive measure, his intent is to scare you off. The reason I believe this is because the longer you spend with him, the worse you condition deteriorates.
 
Only frighten me? Well it failed, when I encountered one I thought my brain was gonna explode so I emptied pretty much everything I had into it!

I guess it succeded in scaring me, but I did not run, running was fuitile I thought :p
 
thats weird, the first time i fought a controller after the stash, I died after the second "mind steal attack" or whatever.

Ever since then i've simply assumed that controllers kill you after 2 psi attacks. and empty everything i have at them without hesitation.
 
Yeah they can definately kill you. When I first ran into it and it started attacking I thought it was a cut scene or something. After a few you can't see or hear, let alone aim. Probably takes about 5 or so to kill you. I found the best way to deal with it is charge at it guns blazing.
