S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: The Zone will stop the Russians - Games

No you didn't. Let us forget it.

Guys I hope you can help me. I've been playing a fresh copy of CoP with Reloaded 0.8 and it has been going quite well. I have the game maxed out @1920x1080 with DX11. About four hours into the Jupiter area, I noticed the game was taking forever to quicksave. When I went to hardsave and quit for the night, it took literally 2 minutes or more for the menu to appear. When I went to launch the game the next day, it crashes with bugtrap before the menu appears with the Splash screen still displayed. It was referencing ntdll.DLL as part of the problem. The computer is a fresh install and the hard drive is brand new and doesn't have issues with BF3 or other demanding games. I'll try to paste the logs when I get home. Thanks in advance guys.

Uninstall Reloaded. Because my vanilla CoP never had anything like that.

Does AMK Sid edition work with the update?

[QUOTE=K1ngo64;42085764]Smearing Vaseline over your eyes does not constitute better graphics[/QUOTE] I don't know if there's something wrong with my Lurk 1.1 but even raising it all the way up it always looks like the contrast is way too low and it's really annoying. That, and the raspberry jelly and mustard screen filters for when you get hurt or irradiated are tempting me to uninstall.

You'll see that there is actually a contrast filter. Maybe it is set to 0.7 or something so you are only getting 70% of the regular contrast? Maybe check that out

What the hell, the latest ZoA patch makes the mod look fucking wierd. The color hues are wierd there's no DoF at all and the screen just flickers when I move my aim. [editline]5th September 2013[/editline] [img]http://i.imgur.com/PGNTxSH.jpg[/img]

Looks like the zone has Jaundice.

nah it's just sepia-filtered, like a reverse wizard of oz "toto, i don't think we're in cordon anymore.."

I'd still like to know what's causing this shit.

Your eyes have been augmented

Well, I got it working by disabling the RTSS.exe that I used for my in game OSD that shows FPS, Temp, and VRAM Usage in MB... Not ideal but I can live with it for now.

[QUOTE=Markius32;42084532]Alright, so now that I've finished my mandatory vanilla run-through of SHoC, which big mod should I first try? I want something that's gonna run me into the ground, something I'll likely remember for years to come.[/QUOTE] I highly recommend OGSE or AMK Sidorovich Edition, both make the game harder and spice it up a bit. Still they stay true to the vanilla experience and don't add anything to fancy. Lurk has some really great ballistics and weapons, it tries to be more realistic but the AI is to dumb and it's rather an easy mod. Also the bloom and colors might turn you off, it's a decent mod but to easy for my taste. I highly suggest OGSE, it adds a lot of cool stuff and is overall one of the better mods. Also if you want to tweak your game a bit, you can use the mod settings which are really nifty. It's also easy to install and user friendly.

What is a good mod for any of the games that adds a lot of weapons, ideally ones that make sense (AKM, SKS, Tokarev, PPSH, Mosin, RPD, RPK, RPK-74, etc...)?

L.U.R.K. for SoC adds most if not all you mentioned and unlike in many weapon mod packs they're of consistent and good quality in both textures and animations. [QUOTE=HumanAbyss;42090080]with brain dead AI[/QUOTE] They're surprisingly accurate in combat though. Either way, it's possible to merge LURK weapons with AMK or play ZoA which has the most relevant L.U.R.K. weapons and anims included (if not all of them) plus some hand-picked Arsenal weapons.

What is ZoA exactly?

Roadside Picnic came in the mail today! Time to make a cup of tea and have a good read.

In doom's Freeplay merge for SHOC, where can i buy/sell weapons as a bandit ? I can't go to Bar because of Duty, Cordon is full of stalkers,(hostiles too) The bandit boss also doesn't have anything to sell, and have like 5000rubles so i cant sell him weapons

Tried Yantar?

[QUOTE=Thomo_UK;42090595]Tried Yantar?[/QUOTE] Forgot to mention I'm bandit faction haha Haven't tried it, but ecologists are hostile too, pretty much every trader has waves of enemies i must kill to get to them

Go downstairs from the bandit boss.

Man, forced transparency AA kills my fps at 4x or higher but at 2x SoC runs ok and it makes it look great.
