[QUOTE=woot835;44676429]So, First time ever playing any Stalker game. Installed the Lost Alpha Standalone thingy and started it up. I like the game alot, those bloody pigs still scare the crap out of me.
But as a total newbie, how the hell do I get better ammo/weapons. Because the starting pistol cant hit for shit. I had to knife zombies to death, because 40 shots did not kill any of them on stalker difficulty.[/QUOTE]
The zombies are bulletsponges. Get a shotgun.

Dang it, I didnt loot the shotties because I wanted to stick to the sub machine gun.
Question: Are people getting the exit Agroprom underground objective to complete? Because it isn't for myself or Mericet when we leave the Underground after getting the book down there.

You need more than just the book

The book is not what you're looking for. Read carefully and inspect the surrounding rooms.
[QUOTE=croguy;44676442]The zombies are bulletsponges. Get a shotgun.[/QUOTE]
Or alternatively use knife(it kills them in 2-3 shots)

If you think that finding strelok's stash is difficult, wait till you see [sp]pripyat sewers[/sp].... A possible rage quit there...

that is very intriguing seeing someone playing LA as their very first STALKER experience
LA is crazy dark for me and the brightness doesn't seem to change anything. Any ideas?
[QUOTE=Beacon;44676566]that is very intriguing seeing someone playing LA as their very first STALKER experience[/QUOTE]
Honestly, I think we might be brewing an interesting type of stalker player here. Woot should record his playthrough as an LP or something.
I fixed some common audio clipping issues.

Is it just me or is hip fire [I]way[/I] more accurate than iron sights in Lost Alpha? Aiming down the sights I miss like 9/10 shots even when I'm aiming straight at them, but in hip fire I kill them in the first one or two shots.
[QUOTE=Beacon;44676566]that is very intriguing seeing someone playing LA as their very first STALKER experience[/QUOTE]It is the only free installment in the series, after all.
Also, question for the whole thread: are we going to consider LA official story or just like any other mod?

Another question: does it really matter?

I don't think we can consider it canon at all can we?
Is chatting broken? I chatted to Vadim and he said to meet him for info, I paid him for some info and it said something like pda_npc_militarycmd or something but I can't see anything about what it is?

God no. My voice would make the cheeky breeky in Stalker sound like fluent english.
So what am I going up against here? I'm searching for some stash in some underground and thank god I closed the door behind me when I went into that room and some shit started happening to my screen turning red and I hear footsteps and crap is flying everywhere, I'm sitting in a corner shitting myself. I took a peek out my door and didn't see anything other then a massive closet flying towards me, What is going on.

Not [I]that[/I] kind of an LP. That one's Reserved for Ignorum the Running One, fastest Stalker but the worst shot this side of the Scorcher. :v:
Just post images now and then! Give us a summary of ~24 hours game time or something. Seeing rookies ass-drag their way through the worst parts of the Zone is a horrible thing to experience in real time. Unless they're pointing their flashlights at an empty hallway while crying in a corner.

Look out for the psychokinesis fuckers. They come in several flavors and most are absolutely hideous when not invisible.

I crash whenever I attempt to open a safe, this is bad because it's required to open at least one to continue the main quest.

It's a broken ui_safe.script file. There is a fix for it somewhere on here or on the GSC forums.
[QUOTE=Lizzrd;44676825]are we going to consider LA official story or just like any other mod?[/QUOTE]
It's not really official or "canon" as it's not a main line S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game but personally I'd consider it more of a something like the Extended Universe of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. like RMA, aside from the stuff that straight up contradicts the main line S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games, it's expanded canon.
[editline]herp[/editline]
For example it would mean that I would consider groups like "Sin" canon now, as existing somewhere around the Zone, instead of just being some weird faction that totally got cut from the games that has only vague references to it in the game.

I have gtx 550ti, ran COP on MAX settings at 45+ FPS, geting 10 fps MAX with this game.
[QUOTE=Sourceshift;44677326]getting 10 fps MAX with this game.[/QUOTE]
Did you forgot to turn off grass shadow and sun shadow ? Because they're the biggest eaters of fps while grass_shadow doesn't really make the game [I]that[/I] much prettier.

turn off sun shadows.

I found that setting the shadow map resolution to low still makes the game look acceptable while leaving grass / sunshadows on (running 30-60fps @ 1440p even with SSAO), personally.
[QUOTE=Fausty;44677388]turn off sun shadows.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, but the game looks terrible with them turned off, is that an optimization bug or something?
