AA is the thing that grinds my (admittedly, out of date) rig to a halt. I'm using Atmosfear, which ups the view distance and adds shiny weather and Blow Out effects. Doesn't cause any issues, but even on the lowest setting AA spanks my frame-rate.tandino wrote:Got this off Steam today. With a lot of tweaking, the previous Stalkers ran OK on my PC. Not this one, oh no. I do need to upgrade now, but I wouldn't really know where to start.

I just did the X8 Lab. Holy shit! Probably the most nerve racking bit for me was having to fight I usually carry around 20 health kits and I used about 12 of them, which is more than I have used in any situation before. I fired so many bullets from my M4 that it's condition was about 40%, down from full. I used up all my M203 grenades.
On a side note, full-auto USP is very excellent. It's great for taking out zombies, dogs, rats, and anything else unarmored.

I've spent so much money upgrading things, even if I will never use them. I've got fully upped a PKM, Vintar BC, Dragunov, Tunder S14, VLA Special Assault Rifle, SG-550, M4, AN-94, Protecta (DAO-12), USP Compact, Walther P99, the starting Honorary PMm, not to mention 4 helmets and 3 armor suits. It's ridiculous.

Yeah all three of those are rather good from what I've heard. I have just been using the regular stuff I can scavenge so far, though I should go get thatSheriff Fatman wrote:The best shooter I've found so far isSpoiler:

He didn't leave when I ordered my SEVA Suit. I think he might have bugged out on you or something. I think it took about one and a half in-game days to get my suit.buzzmong wrote:Guys, after putting an order in with Nimble, how long does it take? And should he vanish from his spot up top?
It's been a little while now, long enough that I've left the starting map and nearly cleared out the second as well.

Edit: No worries, a couple of minutes after going back to the first map he appeared and I got the notification to collect my new gun.
Ironically as I was just flouncing around the Jupiter building reception bit, I picked up a G36 off a npc called

Received my copy yesterday, was a nice surprise to receive the Special Edition. Installed last night but didn't get a chance to play so had a 10 minute jaunt this morning. Mostly amused by the discrepancies between the voice over and subtitles at the start
Voice "In 2010.."
Text "In 2009.."
Also lolled at a random paragraph in the manual being in French.
Glad you said to go straight forward to meet the man as I would have walked off to the left to the nearest anomaly. After a chat I went to have a look and shoot the 2 nice men I found there, then I went to work

If you don't shoot them, one walks into the anomoly and falls over. Go give him a medkit and you get the 2nd scanner. It's quite handy.mrbobbins wrote:Glad you said to go straight forward to meet the man as I would have walked off to the left to the nearest anomaly.

Waiting for people to die is a good way of getting free stuff. Don't help NPCs, just watch them get raped by the wild life then loot the corpse. Also rush outside right after an ejaculation and you'll usually find a dead body or two. I think I got my first veles detector using one of those methods.mrbobbins wrote:I think I picked up a scanner from the corpse, will have to check

On the mention of the ejaculations. I find it odd that the AI NPC's seem to merrily try and walk to the nearest shelter, not run.
I would have thought GCS would have made them run if they weren't close considering they get the warning messages as well.
Other strange things involving NPC's walking through tunnels where I'm sheltering from an ejaculation so they can stand on the hill directly above the tunnel they've walked though, and then getting cut down by the ejaculation.
