runs fine on my system, must be in dx8 mode tho, no idea how to tell.
pentium 4 HT 3.04ghz
2gb ddr ram
radeon x700pro
still looks nice too, id love to see it in all its glory, but whats the point in shelling out for all that hardware just for one game when i got my 360.

What happens if i fail a mission?I didn't know that some of the missions have time limits when i took them and i really don't want to fail a single one.I just took all the available missions at the same time because i was afraid that i might not get them later.

I don't think anything happens per say, you just can't complete the mission. In case anyone missed it, you can see how much time left there is to complete a mission (I assume anyway) by checking under 'Tasks' in the PDA.
I have a question about a mission. I'm supposed to cross the railroad, and the main way through is guarded by military. However, there is a passage to the left of this military encampment which the PDA suggests I go through. However, this passage is full of electrical anomalies, and I don't think it's possible to get through there.
What do I do with this mission, just shoot my way through the military encampment? Sounds dangerous.

Yes, shoot your way through - you'll have enough firepower after you complete the mish @ the bandits encampment. And don't forget about grenades. After you kill the soldiers you'll have the AKSU and plenty of ammo, bandages, medkits etc.

Browse to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GSC Game World\STALKER-SHOC
look for
BonusPack1
BonusPack2
change the value from both to 1
now you got 2 more mp-maps (dark valley and pool)

Yes. I know how to aim in a bloody fps. And the game runs on steady 40 fps on my computer. And I didn't have any exceptations from this game. But I just can't tolerate such an inaccurate guns and too arcadeish damage model.

Did anyone get the multiplayer working yet? I can't start a game cuz it needs a cd key and there was none included with te release. I've tried downloading every nfo i could find and gamecopyworld doesn't seem to have one either...

Correct, you get two multiplayer maps and some extra skins to use, probably fun for hamachi servers or legal if you bought the game.
(Posted something similar in page 9)
Also been going trough the user.ltx file but not much is changable since all values are locked fairly low though I found some things that improve visuals/performance.
View distance tweak 1:
r1_ssa_lod_a 96.
r1_ssa_lod_b 64.
(Not much of a difference, can be entered trough the console directly)
tweak 2:
r2_ssa_lod_a 96.
r2_ssa_lod_b 64.
(Same as above)
more details:
r__detail_density 0.6
r__geometry_lod 1.2
(Can't see any difference between this and the default 0.2 / 1.0 though)
texture detail:
r2_tf_mipbias -3.
r1_tf_mipbias -3.
(Varies between 3 and -3 and does improve visuals quite a bit if lowered)
motion blur:
r2_mblur 1.
(Unsure what this does, I don't notice any difference at all)
There's quite a few other settings in that file but these were the only ones that showed some visual difference since even when vid_restart was used the game looked the same.

Dude, have you even played the game? The crosshair let's you see how accurate your shots are gonna be, just duck or crouch and your accuracy is much better. This game is not a "RAMBO M60 PWNZ RATATATATA" game so have patience.
And the damage model is not arcadeish. thank you.

Great game so far, awsome atmosphere, and fun firefights. The only thing i dont like are those respawning bandits and 50 kg weight limit (i know its realistic, but i want a lot of guns at the same time). Is there any way you can increase the weight limit, by collecting some artefacts perhaps? or maybe buying bags? Also what do you do with the flashdrive you found behind the map in the sewers? Is there some computer i can stick it in, because double or right clicking does nothing. And im glad they didnt completly convert it to english, it just feels more authentic, its fun to hear stalkers joke, or tell stories (if you know Rissian ofcourse).
Also to anyone who is pretty far in the game, you will go to the main town later in the game right? The town with the main reactor and the ferris wheel we've seen in the videos.

1. The ballistics are different from other games. So when you think that you pump a whole 1/3 mag you only hit 'em with a few bullets.
2. most of the guys in the beginning (soldiers) have armor so either get AP rounds or aim for the head
From my own experience: switching to single-shot mode and hitting neck/head is the best solution. And after a few hours I can now easily pick a guy off a distant watchtower with 1-2 shots using the sights (RMB)  |
I agree with BrokenCrow but i do consider the aspekts you say Vodka. But sometimes it just takes a few shots to many to feel realistic. It also seems like if you shoot someone at a distans (i dont have any scope yet) the enemy get into an "im hit animation", if you fire while they are doing this it feels like 75% of the bullits are going throu. This dont happen when upclose, but on longer ranges say... 70m~+ shots. My aim is not that bad, been playing FPS online for many years  So i know when something is fishy.
Btw i ask again:
1) Has the first merchant disaperd for anyone? He has for me :/
2) Is there any way to team up with other individual STALKERS? |
In a word, the damage/ballistics model is crap. It is extremely frustrating and not based on real world weapons at all. Even point blank, the enemies are taking 5 or more rounds which is ludicrous, armour or not. Distance shooting is a piss take unless you happen to be AI, in which case they'll peg you off ad nauseam. TBH, its ruining the game for me. Im sick of emptying mags only to be shot dead by AI at 40 yards with a pistol. Good potential mind you, couple of patches could make the difference.

Yea im begining to feel the same way. Im up against some elit soldiers now and its near imposible to win in the hardest setting (it okej if its hard, like they aim good and have pretty mutch HP) But when you shoot 2 mag into one person and he still walks away it seems over the top.. You can sneak around all day and lobby nades and knife/SG them down but it takes forever.
The aim is laughable, you can aim one/two mags at the head 5m infront of a guy and he will still live, and kill you in 1-2 bursts. Really annoying. I got the AK47 and it was little bit better than the weapons befor, but it was very little. Okej you shoudlent hit every shot exactly where you aim. But if you do shot 4-5 shots in the head on some guy he should go down.
And that thing i mentioned befor about "im hit animation (now i cant die for 5 sec) is getting VERY disturbing. Almost to the point of that i will stop playing.
I was affraid it would be like this. i saw some video trailer where they had some MG and shoot like 1 mag into a guy and he still survived :/ But i didnt think it would be this bad.
Is there some way of changing the values to more realistic ones? Any h4xx0r here?
