I got a mission to retrieve some documents out of a secret lab, from barkeeper. When I take the documents some firemonster or something blocks the door at the otherside so i can't open it and inside I see all flying flames. Anyone knows how to escape here? |
Just keep shooting at the single moving/spark flame thing... You have to kill it to get out

You might have to edit gamedata.dba as well, there's a string called 'max_walk_weight' there. I actually edited that one first but it had no apparent effect, so I also edited the db0 file after which worked out. Note that I kept my values below 100 (80 max_weight and 90 max_walk_weight, so they reflect their original relative values and not feel like overly cheating).

Yes you can join factions. Right now i'm getting Freedom and Duty in some war so i can reap the benefits of it (like collecting their weapons and selling them back to them xD) ^^

I was trying to figure out how to join factions last night, as I was hoping to join the Freedom faction - did some missions for them and when I saved my game last night before going to bed, I was "Loner" - reloaded my game today and I'm in the Faction apparently o.O
Although the dude guarding the weapons cache at the HQ refuses me entry saying "Members only!" *shrug*
Also, I've made life kind of difficult for myself by joining them since I'm now KOS to Duty, so I have to fight my way through hordes of them whenever handing a quest in to the Barkeeper dude lol

Not well, most people have a problem with frequent QTD's. It seems that after about an hour of play hitting F6 or hitting the ESC key could crash the game. Its pretty annoying especially if you haven't saved in awhile and go to do so and thats when it happens. All I can say is until a patch is out hit F6 every minute.

The Good: Atmospheric, immersive, open-ended first-person survival gameplay; amazing virtual world is like being at chernobyl; excellent blend of action, horror, and exploration.
The Bad: Bugs both minor and major, especially when it comes to Windows Vista; story is a bit incoherent.

Stopped reading after the first paragraph when he tried to claim that Stalker is "on par with Deus Ex and System Shock 2." It's not even in the same genre, let alone the ballpark of the quality of those games.
Also, does everyone get massive fps drops when exiting the underground tunnels? The first time it loaded I couldn't even move as the guy in the tower shot me repeatedly until I died, on reload I was finally able to run away and get inside the empty barracks nearby (where the "advanced" AI sent soldiers in 1-2 at a time to get headshot by my AK). Soon as I went back outside when they were all dead, fps went to hell and it started hitching, then crashed a minute or two later.

yup - another annoying thing is that I died and wanted to reload my latest savegame..however the buttons in the main menu did not react to any clicks or keys..only the exit button worked...I think this game needs some major patches...

Great game! I am very impressed with STALKER so far. First off, the graphics are not next generation, let's just get that out of the way right now. This is not UT2007 by any means. But, they are very detailed and still look great. If you can play with Dynamic Lighting at full then do it. This makes a big difference in the best part of STALKER......atmosphere. This game drips with atmosphere from the wind blowing the weeds to the lightning to the impressive shadows.
I am now starting to learn about artifacts and radiation. So far radiation has been the hardest part for me. I have had no trouble dispatching the denizens of Chernobyl. The AI is good but not great. I had something happen when trying to get by the Railroad Bridge. I went up into a Barn to get a snipers view of the bridge and it's companions. I aimed down the barrel of my silencer and realistically could not hit anyone. While I was testing my sniping capabilities the Army was shooting back at me. The sound is great in this game. This is a major player in the atmosphere. I left the barn and doubled back and over across the street to get a better look at the Army/Mercenaries covering the bridge. I went closer and closer to the railroad bridge. I didn't see anyone...? I looked over to my left at the Barn and there they were standing in a group, literally right next to each other right outside the Barn where I was sniping them from. I ran up and used a tree for cover and threw a grenade killing all but one. I used my shotgun to kill the last one. I don't know if I should be ripping on the AI or not. But seems like they were just standing there not even looking up.
The game has a really old school feel to it. This is what Duke Nukem would have looked like if they would have stuck with their 3rd engine and then released it. The controls are great and responsive. The only gripe I have about the controls is the speed at which you can switch weapons. I really like how I was able to use trees as cover. I mean they really covered me during many fire fights. I haven't had any issues with the game at all. It's ran perfectly for me with everything turned up at 1024x768. I will give 1600x1200 a try when I get home. It moves fluid and that is a good thing considering all the detail and shadows.
I have been playing for about 2 hours now. I have a feeling this game is going to get much harder. I am playing it on STALKER mode right now.
I like how they use the artifacts to give you attributes like 400% more health or +5 radiation. This is a cool aspect. I kind of have that Diablo/Titan Quest feeling going through me as I search for new armor/jacket, weapons or artifacts.
If you can get by the non-next generation graphics then you can really get into this game and enjoy it.
8.5 out of 10, Highly recommended to any FPS fan.

does anyone know why the game allways loads the original save and not the quicksave?
I made a save when I started the game (going via the main menu), and later on I used the Quicksave (F6). So I completed some missions, and then all of a sudden died from radiation... so I load my quicksave, but the game allways loads the original save (the one I made first), so now I have to do it all over again. Does quicksave work at all ????
