It's not just making it darker or brighter, but that's what you'll notice.

It's developed by Crytek. That should give you a hint about what hardware is expected to run it decently.[/QUOTE]
I think it's Clear Sky's crappiness more than the SSAO mechanics. In Call of Pripyat, I've been using HDAO with a very minimal FPS hit.
holy fuck, I can run full DX10 Lighting, and I get a decent FPS (30-40), I am surprised to be honest.
I'm talking about Clear Sky by the way.
[QUOTE=JerryK;19208190]seano why does your avatar suddenly look crappy?[/QUOTE]
What mean?
it looks like someone threw gravel on it
Does it look like an artifact?
[QUOTE=seano12;19209316]Does it look like an artifact?[/QUOTE]
no it's not shiny and giving me cancer
How many Loners and other's in the zone have cancer I wonder, Mainly the Monolith... being in the centre and all.

Well the average play time in the games is what? Like 2-3 ingame days? Then you have to think about how many times you fucked up and died I reckon cancer would be the least of your worries.

[QUOTE=seano12;19206846]kruglov went down to udergrund lab to find controller and kill it with pistol. He went on elevator down and it broke and crashed to bottom. then zombie stalkers moaned at kruglov asking for artifacts because zombie stalkers eat them. kruglove yelled "NOOOOOOO YOU cannot have artifact!" then kruglov shot them with gun and one by one they fell down. then snork came up behind him and sniffed his ass and asked for sausage. kruglov then looked down at snork with pity and said no :( . snork got mad and then started jumping around angrily. kruglov then continued on to kill controller. to be continued.
What think?[/QUOTE]
kruglov went up stair to go find controller but found self in big shaft ( :q: ) with lots of stalker zombie and stair. kruglov fought thru many waves of stair and stalker zombie till he reach top and see controller at the end of corridor.
he went up to controller with pistol and said " I am here to venge bloodsooker for you kicked him out of uderground." controller then look at kruglov with a long face and say " kruglov , there something i need to tell you fore you try to kill me with wepon " kruglov then say " wat , hurry up i have to meet strelok marked one man stalker and face full life consequences " controller then said " kruglov, i am ur longs losts bro " kruglov then shed tear and hugged controller brother
"i luv u bro" say kruglov while hugging controller
"i love u too kruglov"
all of sudden barman call kruglov and tell him mark one on way to uderground lab. kruglov hug bro one last time and say goodbye and he will send him zone themed post card soon.
end
:'(
It should have a dramatic twist, where kruglov realises the controller isn't his bro but he's just being controlled.
another story with kruglov taking place after marked one's visit will follow tomorrow :D

Goddamnit, now I can't play SoC or CS. Well, CS wouldn't even run on the crappy HD2400, but SoC does, but I has no Audio!
My headset is shatpiece.

Just you.
I hate how the graphics in CoP are worse then CS. For instance, the wet ground isn't so visible and so on.

Agreed. I'm not sure if the larger maps make up for the lack of detail, however...
[editline]03:39AM[/editline]
If they could have been the size of, say, the marshes in Clear Sky, along with the same level of detail, it would have been perfect.
So I was just wondering which mod is considered "Top" for Clear Sky? By the looks of it Spartan or Basix seem to be the better ones but I'm not too sure (And if I didn't have Australian internet thats gonna get capped soon I wouldn't give a shit and get both to see for myself).
Other than that currently playing LURK and god having a hard time seeing anything, but it was fun getting the military to come attack the starting camp as I always do, lots of AK's to sell, although I think Wolf might have died.
Total Factional Warfare is pretty awesome but it's a major conversion.
so can now anyone tell me how the fuck do I turn the blue shades into a proper nightvision in LURK?
When it comes to clear sky and performance like people here say the DX10 setting and SSAO drains fps really alot but then theres also the fact that the swamps (first map) is more performance draining then most of the game like for example cordon.
Also there's tweaks and mods you can install to make the performance somewhat better:
Tweakguide: [url]http://www.tweakguides.com/ClearSky_1.html[/url] (it actually helped me abit)
This mod helped my fps abit: [url]http://stalker.filefront.com/file/Better_Lighting_Depth_of_Field_and_FPS;93997[/url]
Also this terrain pack makes the ground textures look sooo much better without any noticeable FPS drop: [url]http://stalker.filefront.com/file/Terrain_Pack;94510[/url]
Yeah CS was all laggy in the swamps, but I put all the settings back up for cordon and it was fine.
Some friendly guy I just saved said someone was selling a Gauss gun for 800 Rubles I think. Problem is I have no fucking idea where that guy is :v: I hate my sense of direction...

The small farmstead at the bottom of Dark Valley, just left of the main road at the bottom. :)
So I did something what many people could not accomplish. I went to the bloodsucker village, no not only that. I did that during night.
My story goes like this. After accepting the quest I finally built up enough courage to go there. The first problem was: Radiation. So I stocked up on shit-load of vodka, got shit drunk and managed to get through the radiation with no problem. Then I saw some guys camping by fire, I was like "Uh there are fucking bloodsuckers here, you should run". They were like "nah we know they are here but we do not care even when there is a perfectly good duty camp right next to this". So I was like "k i will clear the shit for u guys" they were like "k".
I was still shitting my pants, found some dead bodies and stuff like that. The dead bodies were not loot-able, that sucked. So I was wandering around when I heard a terrible scream, and a bloodsucker appeared out of nowhere. I introduced it to my I-86( I think ). After first one was taken down, I was sprinting through the village and searching for another one. I was eventually attacked from behind, I shat massive bricks but still managed to kill it. Now I eventually killed them all and was ready to go get my reward.....
crashed.
FFFFFF
