Tried clicking no? Maybe the buttons are reversed...

Also, let me guess, you're in the Marsh, and haven't completed all of Clear Sky assignments yet. If that's the case, you won't be let out into the cordon, since you don't know the routes.
 
I was in the cordon already :(

I googled around seems only a reinstall helps.
 
Im replaying STALKER right now to prepare for Clear Sky and i didnt notice this before, when fellow stalkers die their teammates throw them in fire....I was like holy shit!
 
Okay guys, Mike decided to extract dem logos and give them out, since they're awesome.

I haven't got any artifacts yet. I think I've found some according to my detector, but I'll be damned if I know how to pick them up. Or get close enough in order to pick them up..

You must risk life and limb to get artifacts - makes them all the more special when you get one :)

Nice badge graphics :)

Got through Cordon and into Garbage, and I'm kinda getting deja-vu - besides the swamp at the beginning, it's all exactly the same as SoC, except with more bandits and less mutants. Pretty intense firefights at the start of Garbage though which made up for the samey-ness of it all.

Found some nice weaponry and there is ammo everywhere, perhaps too much, as well as loads of dropped guns that make lots of money if you're prepared to put in the grind. Still finding it too easy, even the 'nades are easy to dodge if you listen for the voice cue's. Looking forward to Military Warehouses as that was the most challenging part of the last game for me.

Had one system crash yesterday that restarted my pc, but no more bugs - just an annoyance in that when I returned to the Swamp to finish a quest after joining the Stalker faction, Clear Sky ripped me apart even though they are showing as neutral towards me. Why would they suddenly hate me when they kissed my ass earlier?

btw, how the hell do you hide from a blowout? the tunnel I was in did nothing to protect me...

'fused. :s
 
Just had my first run through and despite it being a bit jumpy on my system, it looks and plays fantastic. Have just cleared out the swamps of the renegade gangs, had some pretty intense fire fights. Two questions:

1) Is there any way to fix this error? It occurs when I try to launch CS through steam:

2) What do I do with the flash drives about weapon mods? Is there anywhere I can take them to have them constructed?
 
1) No idea.
2) take them to the mechanic in the Clear Sky base, he has his own little hut near the camp fire.
 
Nothing wrong with the install. The problem was steam added an extra '\bin' on the end of the Start In shortcut. Fixed now :)
 
Indeed. Much different from the old one :(


I had my shit nicked from me by those bandit assholes in the Garbage

Are we playing the same game..? It is exactly the same as SoC. There is so much ammo everywhere it's impossible to run out. If you can't get a headshot, use armour piercing rounds to the body. Don't get close enough to get robbed - shoot from a distance with single shots and a scope. As soon as you hear them talking about grenades, run 20 yards. Let others kill for you, then scavenge weapons. Travel light. Use your map. Use your binoculars. Use solid cover - darkness and foliage does nothing to hide you. Sneaking doesn't work, they are all deaf. Stay out of line of sight. Save regularly. Move or die.
 
You can get robbed now?!

Awesome, can you rob other people as well and plant poisoned apples on them? :D
 
Are the Russian and English versions identical aside from localisation files?

I'm playing on veteran,so I'm kinda making it hard on myself :p
Also unless you spend a zillian rubbles on your ak/mp5 those things never hit the target lol
 
Not a Zilion - about 20 to 30 k.

Tip: DON'T rechamber the AK-74 to accept 5.56mm NATO - the Monolith during the end game seemingly considers NATO weapons and ammunition impure or something and uses only CCCP-approved guns and ammo.
 
So is this game worth getting if I liked the first?
 
yeah it' awesome I'm still trying to decode which version to actually purchase though.
 
I might go with Steam, doesn't steam help get rid of some buggies with updates?

And I've been dying to know, any new mutants?
 
wow, the new patch fixes fourteen crash errors.

This is always my number 1 complaint with jungle scenes, why is it so god damn hard to code?

if (players body < 90% visible){
enemy randomly shoots into forest for 20 seconds, then patrols around
}

Boom, Microsoft should hire me now.
 
Awesome, my favorite one :) It may well be sewn onto my military jacket.
Though I will probably dirty it up a bit.
