Give this a go?[/QUOTE]

Hmm this seems to have done it for COP, what a rigged work around, thanks a lot though!

I was replaying CoP with SGM 2.2 and spent nearly 50 hours just doing Zaton, then it decided to screw my savegames. Sigh, it was a good run.

Just dropping this here:

Is Zone of Alienation very prone to crashing for anyone else?
I've had it crash 3 times in the first 5 minutes of the cordon

I never thought I'd say that, but at this point I'm just waiting for Green to post a story, so that the thread could re-unify with cries of "oh god my eyes you're a sick fuck" coming from everyone

Thinking about getting OGSE, what new stuff does it add?

[etcetera]

[QUOTE=zeldar;40521845]Right now I'm at the beginning of CS and I'm wondering: are the swamps actually worth exploring or are they just visually appealing? I might just have the wrong mindset when it comes to these games but I usually don't ever find exploration that worthwhile unless I'm in the area for a mission or items of value.

I didn't really explore the swamps that much. I gathered some loot from a couple stashes and then went straight for the Renegade base and now I'm clear to go on to Cordon.[/QUOTE]

There's some high-tier gear tucked away in the Swamps, particularly in the north, although some of it's very well hidden. Additionally, if you do enough work for CS to get your rep bar up to the maximum, before you leave for the Cordon, you get access to the CS-1 suit which is pretty damn handy.

[QUOTE=ManRod;40524443]Thinking about getting OGSE, what new stuff does it add?[/QUOTE]It's basically a Russian mod, but with quality control i.e. the best of both worlds.
This article from their ModDB page covers it:

The best of both worlds. And autoturrets.

[ManRod]

Nice one guys, one last question.

[QUOTE]6. New and improved monsters. Many creatures of the Zone which had been deleted from the original game were restored, while others have gained new dangerous abilities. [/QUOTE]

have they gone ape shit a-la People Soup and added literally everything from every game so it's a buggy clusterfuck? Apart from that the feature list looks rich and amazing, really looking forward to playing this now.

It does have a touch of the Russian madness, but it's much much more polished and reasonable that the soup. It's got a whole load of new content and a bit of a steep learning curve, but it's not an everything and the kitchen sink type o' mod.

Nah, the content's mostly original and OGSE is remarkably stable, makes People Soup look like a house of cards in a tornado (which is pretty much is).

[ManRod]

Thanks guys. :)

Will download and stream it in a bit I think, see how I get on with it.

OGSE, despite being a little crashy for me, has been my favorite STALKER experience ever. And I've gone through alot of mods.

[Kirovich]

I loved the amount of control I had over options in OGSE. My comp is a little dated and OGSE ran so smoothly for me.

[ManRod]

Should I wait for 0.6.9.3? Anyone know when it's going to be release? I've dowloaded 9.2 but i'm tempted to hold off now lol.

Eh.. I've been waiting on 0.6.9.3 since.. The middle of last year. You should just go ahead and play it, get what you can out of it, because nobody knows when the next version is out. I've been holding myself off with Kingo's and Doom's mergers, but I may cave and get OGSE again.

Something you should know is that you can lose your binoculars. Burer can grab them, I think..

They said it might be released this summer.

[ManRod]

Thanks a lot for the info guys, i'll not bother waiting and get it now. :)

I wish these were in the OP since the rasputinator site with all the recommended Stalker mods is offline now.

[Amez]

I wonder if I should stream for the first time ever, if I do it's gonna be my SGM 2.2 playthrough.

Anyone has some advice for a guy with not so much experience with S.T.A.L.K.E.R, that wish to find a good mod that changes the graphical features and not the actual gameplay?

A Stalker doesn't need a shower, he needs Vodka
