S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: Shadow of Blowout Edition - Games

[QUOTE=Red Katana;19221342]I always just try to kill the 2 patrolling soldiers on the road, nab their guns, then run my ass off.[/QUOTE] I only keep their guns if they're 75+% condition. Otherwise I try to take out the entire base.

[QUOTE=Xion21;19220903]I just bought SoC and IL-2: 1946, but I have a problem. Can I make steam download and install to my D drive? My C is a bit full for right now. Especially if I am gonna have mods later on for SoC.[/QUOTE] Steam has to be installed to that drive, I think.

[QUOTE=SomeFaggot;19221443]Steam has to be installed to that drive, I think.[/QUOTE] You see that's what I thought, I really don't have enough space for SoC, let alone mods. I don't know of anything I can really clear to help get me the space I need, I just have lots of music and such, I'm not sure where all the space is going sometimes! So is there absolutely no way to install it anywhere else?

[QUOTE=SomeFaggot;19221443]Steam has to be installed to that drive, I think.[/QUOTE] Nope, i have Steam installed on my D Drive.

Playing Clear Sky, took the guide to Cordon after doing the plot missions in the Swamps. I pop out of that tunnel, walk 2 feet - the military outpost notices me with its X-ray vision and yells to open fire. I walk 2 more feet and run straight back half shredded by some guy's machine gun. What do I do? [editline]01:36AM[/editline] [QUOTE=dedo678;19220976]I just experienced a Flesh Flood. There were easily a little over 40 of them, but I had no chance at winning this fight so I ran. screenshot[/QUOTE] Where'd you get that HUD? Looks fantastic.

[QUOTE=dedo678;19221488]Nope, i have Steam installed on my D Drive.[/QUOTE] Wait. Does that mean I would have to uninstall Steam and re-install EVERYTHING on my D drive? No way! There has to be a way to tell it to install somewhere else. I am looking everything up I can, any suggestions or help?

[QUOTE=Zeraux;19221147]I've had problems finding artifacts in Clear Sky. I know that you have to whip out your echo device and look near anomalies, but I just can't seem to find any. Is there anywhere where there's a lot of them bunched up?[/QUOTE] Anyone?

What do I do?[/QUOTE] I just ran a little down the hill and then to the left as fast as I could. Had to use some medkits though

[QUOTE=Zeraux;19221675]Anyone?[/QUOTE] Go to the car scrapyard in the Garbage, as well as the toxic pits to the right of them.

Zeraux, you just have to get lucky I guess. I don't think I ever really bothered with artifacts in Clear Sky. Speaking of which, anyone want to suggest a good Clear Sky mod? Going to pick one of those front page ones otherwise. [editline]05:46PM[/editline] was checking the front page, anyone have any idea what OGSM is? I'll just try Spartan 11:11

Hey, my version of stalker SoC won't save settings. As in everytime I restart the game the settings are back to default, is there any way I can fix this?

welp. spartan 11:11 fucks up the UI, but I tried to deal with it. Also makes some weapons secondary, and squishes them really really small. Also raped the look of medkits and stuff! The first guy I saw, a Clear Sky dude, had an RPG, and then the first dude I killed, some bandit, had a SVD. not sure I like that one, not my style.

I think every Clear Sky mod fucks up the UI.

Still nothing on installing it on a different directory. Someone said "find a torrent and install it on whatever drive you want, since you already bought it." How about no.

I'll try OGSM sometime.

[QUOTE=Xion21;19222644]Still nothing on installing it on a different directory. Someone said "find a torrent and install it on whatever drive you want, since you already bought it." How about no.[/QUOTE] You could try installing steam on that drive and then moving all the content into the folders it creates.

[QUOTE=SomeFaggot;19222755]You could try installing steam on that drive and then moving all the content into the folders it creates.[/QUOTE] That's an idea. It may take a minute to move my Steam folder, but... this is plausible!

The link to OGSM doesn't say what it does at all, so, anyone want to tell me the main things of it while it downloads?

Who found the alpha beta better than the actual game?

How would it handle being installed twice though? Wouldn't it want me to uninstall first? Thereby deleting everything in the folders? Sorry to ask so many questions, I just wanna play this!

Sorry to ask so many questions, I just wanna play this![/QUOTE] From what I recall it should work. Just can't run the C and D version at the same time. [editline]08:58PM[/editline] Or try this: Copy content Uninstall Steam Reinstall Steam on other drive Move content

Where would I find that? I am not used to using Steam honestly.

[QUOTE=Xion21;19223014]Where would I find that? I am not used to using Steam honestly.[/QUOTE] Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/ for games that use the GFC's (HL2, CSS, pretty much any source game) Program Files/Steam/Steamapps/Common/ for all other games.

Oh I get what you mean. Nevermind, well thanks for the help. Looks like I am gonna try to put it all on my D.

The OGSM link on the front page is broken, some files are corrupted. Downloaded it twice, both times it was the same.

Damn someone had to upload it because every possible way of getting OGSM in English was gone. I guess it's time to pull it off the page, unless someone offers to upload it.
