[QUOTE=genkaz92;44688035]I already examined those forums, they do not provide a comprehensive solution to the issue from what I have seen thus far. One of the posts instructs to drag the DirectX files to the root directory, but I have no idea what it actually means by that in a detailed sense, what directX files and from where? Also, could any of this be because of this? [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/orx85ZD.png[/IMG] Is this common?[/QUOTE] Looks like one of the parts were corrupted when you downloaded it. Try redownloading the game.

[QUOTE=Gray Altoid;44688439]Looks like one of the parts were corrupted when you downloaded it. Try redownloading the game.[/QUOTE] I did actually, the part was corrupted the second time as well, I think that I should just try the torrent to see what happens.

How many documents are there in X18? I want to make sure i got all of them.

they successfully turned rostok into a fucking maze

[QUOTE=nater;44688465][url]http://freetexthost.com/eghim5bquy[/url] Google brought me here and there appears to be a fix.[/QUOTE] Worked perfectly, much appreciated. Now let's see if their crash on repair menu fix works.

[QUOTE=Rofl_copter;44688721]they successfully turned rostok into a fucking maze[/QUOTE] I hate the arbitrary obstacles. It took me forever to find the bar entrance.

[QUOTE=Grenadiac;44689082]I hate the arbitrary obstacles. It took me forever to find the bar entrance.[/QUOTE] I like how if you follow the signs you get sent to a closed entrance. It's like the devs are literally taunting you. The bar is now my least favorite area in the entire game.

[QUOTE=genkaz92;44688448]I did actually, the part was corrupted the second time as well, I think that I should just try the torrent to see what happens.[/QUOTE] The torrent enters a black screen and does not launch afterwards.

So I have a few questions. Once again, [B]where the fuck is the entrance to X-18?[/B] I mean, finding the Bar was hard enough and after spending literally a half hour looking for it I just want a damn answer, because it feels like the Devs gave the levels the most convoluted bullshit designs. And can someone send a link to the AI mod posted a few pages back? I was hoping [I]something[/I] could make the AI suck less, especially because when it was working right it was fun to play against. And how do I open the trunk in the car?

I had to use the Options LA menu to gas mask in the Rostok Factory. Just be warned if you die or you take damage from the gas it hasn't worked and you need to get another, it seems it just disappears from your inventory when you reload.

Try heading outside from anywhere other than where you came in and wander around a bit for it.

Okay, so I got past the Bar entry and all that fun jazz, going into Dark Valley because hey what else am I going to do. Talk to the dude about the base there and he tells me [sp]to infiltrate the bandit base and all that jazz. I ask him where I could get a bandit jacket and he mentions he'll mark an old entrance they don't use anymore that might have one on my map, except... he doesn't mark anywhere. He marks the drunk bandit I need to talk to, but not the entrance. I've been all over the non-populated areas of that base and haven't found anything, so... where exactly is this unused entrance? It's definitely not the sewer tunnel you use in SoC[/sp]

There's [sp] an entrance to an underground area, i think it's east of the houses near the bloodsuckers[/sp] but I had to go buy one at the bar because I didn't find it. Here's the AI mod, can't find the thread but i still have the link [url]http://www.mediafire.com/download/gv59yydgjbpnz72/more_difficult_AI_v0.1.rar[/url] Also I have discovered x18's atmosphere and scariness was largely in part thanks to this track [video=youtube;peHxudegwFU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peHxudegwFU[/video] I put it on and it makes going through X18 again a lot more unnerving, fucking stupid how they removed it. I hope the other labs have music.

Lost Alpha works great for me, occasional crashes aside, the most annoying thing for me is the helicopters... Even underground I always hear them like they are right next to me. :v:

Well, I got in X-18 and [sp] Finally found all the documents for Potrenko.[/sp] [sp]Where is the computer security code though? I can't find it anywhere.[/sp]

Please note, that if you didn't get a module from Barman you can't download it as far as I know. [/sp]

Anyone else gotten like, bored of STALKER in general? It's really pissing me off because I absolutely love the setting, lore, and atmosphere, I've always found it to be incredibly interesting. Over the course of playing tonight I realized that I just wasn't enjoying it anymore, the action seems totally old and bland to me now and the constant going back and forth between quests is just annoying now. The new areas and quests in Lost Alpha are enticing, but the world is just so dead overall and the actual gameplay in itself is simply no longer fun for me. And it's really killing me because I haven't gotten beyond the Dark Valley yet and I really want to see what the rest of it looks like but I feel as though it'd be a waste of my time considering I'm not actually enjoying the game anymore. I feel as though I've sorta outplayed it, even though I don't think I've racked up even close to the amount of hours you guys have.

Is there a fix for the [sp]scripted blowout in the Army Warehouses?[/sp]

Sad to hear mate, I've played it a ton but it hasn't gotten old for me yet. In fact it's probably one of the few games that has kept my interest enough for me to replay multiple times in close succession and not forget about it. Oddly enough, STALKER actually caused me to loose interest in replaying Fallout 3 and New Vegas, if you could believe that (though not the first two). Ok, i just fucking realized I accidentally dropped by knife somewhere way back so now I have no knife. Do any NPCs sell knives, or if not how would I give myself a new one?

So I'm playing Clear Sky for the first time, and I'm having a lot of fun. I don't understand why people bash this game, is it just a hit or miss type appeal for this one?

While I like the atmosphere it creates and I can appreciate the effort, it is very clear why these things were cut to begin with. Still fun though, if only for the different experience. I can't wait to see the later game, and I like how it seems to be longer in general.

I enjoyed it with some mods, but for me personally, I had just come off of ShoC, and CS is like, nonstop action with very little tension building or atmosphere save for a handful of segments in the game. Actually, now that I think of it, beating CS unmodded actually completely burned me out on STALKER in just one playthrough and made me not continue on to CoP until months later. For comparison, I had been able to replay SoC a second time and beat CoP while still looking for mods for both without getting burned out. Though it might have something to do with how much more CS's enemies are bullet sponges.

Welp, now I can't continue the game because it crashes whenever I try to open a safe with documents inside it...

you talking about borov's safe? If so there's a fix for it. Also why doesn't barman sell gas
