well i ordered this from newegg today for 8.99 and free 4-7 day shipping- maybe i will get it by next friday..

i read a lil on it- have all the links to support sites etc. and i will get patch 1.5.10- seems i only have to install the 1 patch- is said to have all past fixes included so.. i think im good to go.. ha ha 10 patches- id guess more in russia land- and still is said buggy- what a trip..

i will check out tweak guide and all that good stuff too- i want to try and play the stock game a few times - then maybe try a mod maybe float32 what ever if it makes the game run better- i will wait and see- play and read more.. im sure it will have bugs-- but its another stalker game- im sure i can have some fun with it- when not pulling out my hair..

maybe i can get some nice screens or make some videos as with soc and cop- i read cs is the most buggy and hard on a system.. 9 bucks- im going to try and play the hell out of it.. i will play it- or it will break my system- ha ha..

see ya..

poor blue.. clear sky is pretty hard and is different from the other 2 games- but im doing ok. seems each area has its own traders and a shop to fix or upgrade your weapons etc. as soon as i had enough cash- i upgraded my mp5 and leather jacket- my jacket has night vision and carry 5 k more and 2 artifact slots etc.. my game came yesterday wednesday- not bad- thanks new egg- ordered on sat got it wednesday- said 4 to 7 days shipping- i did not think id get it until friday or maybe next monday.. sweet..

i cleared most all the swamp area- but did not spend a lot of time looking for goodies- getting into cordon was not easy took me like 6x tries to get past the machine gunner- but in cordon i up graded my ak to use a scope and i have a vintorez and other nato ammo gun now- i forget the nato guns name- its the 1 with a scope on it already..

i pretty much sell everything other than what i can carry- im not sure if i trust stash boxes to store some stuff- any way- the game seems to run fine for me- no crashes- has some slow down points tho- hell its only patch # 10- i guess it should run ok- it looks pretty good too- i using enhanced dynamic lighting- sun rays at medium.. i have not tried to run my recorder in game yet-- i want to play through it some- i can do some videos laters- either from save game points or start a new game..

ive more less stuck to main quests- i guess it has side quests- i have not messed with factions type stuff either- other than a lil in the start of the game and the swamps.. after i finish my first game- i will read some on the game- see what i have missed as far as stashes go and how to better play it - who to get missions from and or factions type stuff..

so far i like it ok-- its more hard and different for sure- im glad its not crashing and bugging out..

i will post some screens etc laters..

see ya..

any way- some of my last post is no good- i went back to an early save near start of the game and played through again.. i missed some stuff in the swamps- i didnt know any better- im new to this game- but now i have the clear sky suit- cant find 1 of the pda's i had all 3 the first time-- i think i have to buy the info from cold or nimble- its the muzzle break 1- dont really matter to me- i more than likely will not need the upgrade- oh ya- i lost my vintorez too- i will get another laters im sure.. but plan to get all the pda's- even if i have to come back laters with more money better gear and buy the info etc..

***just a test video- enter cordon from the swamps- this is not easy- its more hard going the other way- seems a pda upgrade is over here too- you get it laters.. but im going the other way to get it- enter like here from the swamps.. but it is another way to get to and from the swamps to cordon-- but this is not bad going to cordon- if you know how to do it.. this is recorded at 10fps.. most of my vids are at 10fps- but most later vids are 25-30 fps- part depends on how hard the game is on my system to play and record.. you have to know what to look for to tell if im recording at low fps anyway.. so.>

clear sky- is way more confusing and hard to know what to do next etc. but so far its pretty cool- it runs and looks great for me- as said- it freaken should run good its only had 10 patches and im sure even more patches in russia land. in a lot of ways imo it runs even better than cop- cop has more slow down points and takes longer for the game to start working again.. and i have to say cs is pretty- well so is cop and soc with mods is pretty too..

but my only complaints about cs so far is- the pda is not so easy to use- the game has lots of lil places you have to go to and from- the icons are small- and you cant mouse over a spot and it tell ya its name for the place like in cop- if a guide is in the area and you can mouse it just right- it will tell ya the area- but again- the icons etc are so small- the game is trying to give ya multi info- but cant.. and too- you pretty much need a walk through to play cs- and to figure out who to talk to for what ever- like all the side bots for quests or maybe pda's etc. i have not got far enough for the faction stuff to kick in yet.. i just hope its not all buggy what ever.. i will see.. but- i printed a walk through and general area to get pda's- i might print who to get side quests from too- its a ton of missions in this game- seems more than soc- and way way more than cop for sure..

imo cs is just more stalker- as said before- i love the stalker games and the genre is my fav rps [role playing shooter] games- hate the buggy stuff but love the games.. so ya. i guess im a hard core stalker fan. its just no other games like them period.. they engulf you suck you in- and no other games i have is as competitive and good gun play etc.. you really have to fight the bots and world in the stalker games- or they or the mutants or world will kick your freaken butt for sure.. and you have to baby and nurse the games along so not to crash etc..

laters i will post more vids and screens..

see ya

any way- im already at the swamps- went back to get some upgrades and hunt stashes- and too- when i leave here im going back to codon by the military base to get the pda for van and upgrades to the chaser 13 shot gun- i think it is..

but- i was reading its a veles detector and a vintorez in the swamps- ive been to the train before- i think it is where i found my last vintorez- but a lil farther down the line is a cave with a veles detector. im heading in that direction now..

get my vintorez and veles- i have a ok suit and 15k extra carry- im good to go for a while.. finding the pda's so far is the most hard part of the game-- but its all good- adds a lil different favor to the stalker games.. soon all the faction stuff will start.. i hope to get all the pda's from the garbage area for sure- they are all for the seva suit- so ya- i for sure have to get them- and all for the dragnov sniper rifle too..

scavy if you set up a cs server- i will play with ya- if the game lets us and is worth playing that is..

see ya

got me vintar [vintorez] and good detector the veles from the swamp. i think its more easy to make the loop from the village ruins.. you should carry a few extra health kits and anti rads- its some hot spots- maybe have to battle a lil too- so.

village ruins..>



me pointer right of screen shows the train where you get the vintar. the gun is laying on the ground other side of tracks between the cars..>



pointer shows rough location where the hole is in the fence to get to cave by the downed bridge- with veles and a artifact..>



the hole in the fence- sorry it was dark out..>





have fun- see ya..

well i got all the pda's for the sniper gun- for the freedom guy in the dark valley- 2 info i bought from the trader- the other i got for completing- help hold the towers and kill all the mercs.. im still missing 1 each for the swamps and cordon.. and only have the 1 from fangs stuff at the garbage.. i really want all the 1s from the garbage- they are for the seva suit- well them and the freedom 1s i already have- to fix up a nice sniper gun when i get 1 that is..

** a felonious assault.. oh ya- stash all your stuff and suit before going underground- you can get your stuff back other than cash- but i only have 1 suit.. i could have gone in with nothing at all but cash..>

me youtube stalker clear sky play list..>

http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p ... C5C7FABAF1



while in the dark valley and killed all the mercs and loaded up a dead body and dragged it to sell me goods.. i finally had enough cash to repair and do some upgrades to my vintar- repairs was almost 10k and each upgrade was 3k each.. its still 1 or 2 upgrades i need to do laters- but i was trying to spend all my cash so the bandits that rob me at the garbage get lil of it- so.. after i did the garbage underground and got robbed- i took some stuff back to the dark valley to sell and upgraded a ts301 and a sip pistol- i dont really like the 301- mostly because of the nato scope- but its a light gun and can mount all the goodies and launcher etc..

* dam bandits..>



im going to spend lots of time in the garbage now- killing lots of bandits for loot to sell- and find all the seva suit pda's- im afraid to go to agro area- i have no seva suit- i read its underground is hell and you will die with out a seva- so.. im not sure what to do yet- i have lil cash- and i do not know where the traders etc are set up in the garbage- after i got fangs info etc. and bandits are my enemies too- i fired on 1 by mistake in cordon at the spawn point going to the garbage- the bandits was shooting at the stalkers etc- first reaction was to fire on the bandits--

* what gear i have at the garbage- i will sell all the extra when i get to it.. i have a lil ammo and food type stuff in the other areas too..>



but im not sure it matters being in the garbage as far as the trader and getting info for the seva pda's etc.. but i can buy pda info from the digger too- ive bought 2 info from him- but not sure if either has any seva pda's tho- i hope he dont die- so i can go back to him if needed- but i still need to turn in the pda's to the trader at the garbage- i have to find him and store to sell stuff- i guess i will have to kill bandits in and out- or all around the traders place- i will figure it out tho..

* what i carry for the most part.. im afraid to just stash some of my stuff- i sometimes carry a few less guns etc..>



stalker cs- is maybe a lil confusing and or hard maybe- but it runs and looks good- and i love the stalker stuff- so far i like it ok.. i think 10 patches- did the trick- ha ha now it will probably crash every 2 seconds and or might be crazy buggy when the faction stuff starts- which starts after i come back from the agro area if im not mistaken- i think duty moves into the garbage area after i come back- and its on- i might pick a side or group etc- its said you can get better gear and upgrades and might cost less too.. we will see..

see ya..

Scratch!!!! ha ha- i deleted all my saves again back to before going to the garbage and before i killed my first bandit- my game was messed up- not the games fault- but all the bandits was my enemies- and the depot and traders etc was closed to me too..

so i deleted back and then went to the garbage to test my thinking and i was right- well i went from a older save to the garbage to test- and then deleted back.. but the place to trade etc is the depot or building where the train and tunnel is out side and spawn point to argo- or main trading etc anyway- its another lil trader at the other building near where the old spawn point to the bar used to be- but after you go to dark valley the first time- freedom move in and take over the other spot- and after agro duty moves in and no more bandit trading depot either.

so.. im back at the swamps now- and got all the pda's for the swamp guy.. next i will go to cordon and see if i can find all the pda's for that mech- i already have the missions to find the seva pda's for the guy at the garbage- i will do all these things before i go to the dark valley.. least i have my vintar and veles and have a ts301 now too and 10k cash as of right now.. and found more artifacts too.. i will make another loop of the swamps- looking for artifacts- maybe a few side missions- then move out to cordon etc..

so- i might not need to sell much- i can just stash stuff until after dark v and get robbed etc- then sell it all.. ya ya.. ive played back 2x now deleting it all- but im learning- and i do not really mind because i like the stalker games- and well- i might play it 50x anyway so- what the hell.. you really need a walk through for this game- even then- they do not can not tell ya all you need to know or what not to do etc- save a lot- is all i can say- keep an open mind and be willing to delete back- if you make mistakes and until you learn the game-- most games you are not really playing them until you played them a few times anyway- and most game even after playing them many times- you still can learn or find new stuff etc.. so.

any way- as of now- i dont have to or need to kill bandits for cash- i can stand back and let bandits and stalker kill each other and pick up all the loot- they will pick up nothing- ha ha i can loot right in the middle of them fighting- but they can kill me by mistake- ha ha nades for sure will kill me- so i have to watch out for them- but as long as i do not fire on either of them- im good to go- so.. you still want to avoid the junk yard where all the wrecks are and be ready to run past bandits at spawn points or they will rob or fire on ya.. the lil guys at the spawn points will be against ya- but not all the bandits in the game- so.. until i do all i need to do- i will kiss a lil bandit ass- after i get all i need- they all die period.. ha ha

man i have to say- for me.. cs is maybe the best running game out of them all- maybe its the 10 patches- but man it runs and looks good.. less slow down points too- and for sure dont have the bad slow down points like cop has- no crashes - no bugged missions- no lost stashes none of it- i got a good deal for 9 bucks for sure-- i wish my old system could push the real high res and even dx10-11 man it would be really lovely..

heck- cs might turn out to be my fav stalker game- we will see..

see ya

oh ya- i installed a new browser im using chrome by google- its simple easy to use- not cluttered with all kinds of junk- it looks clean and simple- but for some reason my screen shots- it cuts off like 1/4 on the right side here- i think its the way the site or pages are set up- its like an invisible line running down the whole pages where the avy is- ie6 displays my screen shots fine tho- maybe this site does not fully support chrome or something- but i can still fall back to ie6 when needed..

i mostly installed chrome- youtube stopped support for my old browser and can barely use its site.. but- i think chrome uses lots of resources- i cant set home page to blank- and as soon as it starts in task man its showing 2x chrome exe running and another 1 for every page i open- it dont seem to end them- its fast and all- faster than ie6 maybe- but ie6 uses way less resources for sure.. chrome uses a lot more memory than ie6.. but some sites give me hell using the old browser- so i had to install another or modern browser- chrome has some of the best write ups- and its fine for what i need- it would be my main browser- if not for lil things like- i cant view my screen shots displayed properly on this site etc.. my screens display right on other sites and using chrome- so- its something about abit help's site or page set up- chrome dont like--

*** maybe chris can look into it- if not its no biggy.. i can still use ie6 on this site.. oh ya- i sent a bug report to google- and has a built in page screen sent to them- i explained how my screen shots do not display right on this site- but with ie6 they show right- so.

see ya..

well im at the last few maps of the game now- im at the hospital in i guess limansk on my way to the npp. all and all the game runs great and looks nice too- no crashes or bad slow down points like in soc and cop.. but the 1 flash drive mission what ever in cordon is bugged- you cant get that flash drive for nothing. and ive played all game and went to all anomalies and cant get a bubble.. and i did no factions stuff..

seems i ask bots for side missions how can i help you- they say- you cant- maybe i have to join factions to get most of the side missions and or more artifacts.. anomalies that should give 2 or more artifacts only give me 1 of them- i really want a bubble- ive found and or use most of the others..

anyway- im starting to shed my extra gear- i carried an extra suit and few extra guns and ammo etc. i didnt know if it would be any traders or mech to fix my gear etc.. but the 1 cs guy at the hospital just fixed my gear- ive already tossed 1 of my seva suits- i had 2 of them- and a few extra guns. its a cool game a lil slow maybe- artifacts do not re spawn it seems and i did not fire 1 shot at the garbage- i got about 200k rubles just picking up guns after the loners and bandits or who ever fight- and i never put foot in the wrecked car lot- so i never got them artifacts-- i didnt want to make bandits my enemies and the store close down etc.. and i just run around the bandits at the check or spawn points..

** videos- limansk mg nest- and another ambush site- and my gear as i start to lighten my load..>

the game is well worth the 9 bucks i spent on it- its not worth 1 penny more tho- if you can get it for less than 9 bucks- its a good buy.. when i finish this play through- i will go back to a few saves- try some faction stuff- see what thats all about or a lil any way- and then start a new game- play my second game a lil different .. oh ya- i dont really like the upgrade system- its missing add reliability- fire off 2 or 3 clips- your guns start to jam- and if you want the clear blue night vis on your seva - you have to give up some other good protections- so i have 1 blue vis and 1 green vis- more armor for the seva would have been nice too- and i only could find 1 of the lil sniper guns- not the sweet long gun- cant buy them either it seems- upgrades cost like 2x the origal cost of the product or more- then it dont last no time- is kind of stupid..

ok the game did bug on me once- it would not load and would freeze my pc.. i had to hit my reset button- i had to do this like 7x deleting old save games to get to where it wanted to work again.. not too bad though- i just hate restarting my system like that.. but i got the game working right again- tricks i learned playing soc.. but ive deleted more save games than that- just replaying- going back to replay different or pick up stuff i missed before etc.. and have to remember if the game do come to a slow down point- do not press any keys etc. let the game free its self up then move on etc.. but this game freezes less than both soc and cop imo..

i dont know why- they dont make it so traders sell everything- if you have the money to buy it- and why artifacts do not re spawn- oh ya. the game should have has free play end game too..

oh man- i love the fast moving invis blood suckers in the red forest- and the area even sounds spooky while walking around there-- night time is a trip in this game.. more vids and screen shots to come.. its time to get into me game..

i do love the fact- this is not a 6 to 10 hour- or 1 day game- if i read a game takes less than a day to play- well they can keep it- i will wait until it cost 10 bucks.. very few are worth a full 50 or 60 dollar price tag any way.. pc gaming is more a rip these days imo.. not to mention all the buggy half assed half working crap too- or trying to milk ya for more money in added content or dlc's- even before they patch and fix a freaken game- they are trying to milk ya.. freaken hype and lies and fan boys- and hardware never is as good as billed either.. so-

i do say- i like clear sky- im glad i waited to buy it for 9 bucks.. 10 patches.. its a good game- could be better- now gsc should spend some time tweaking and patching cop- not 1 patch for it yet- sucks..

see ya..

hmm.. i cant finish the game.. well i can but its broken.. id have to play my ass off and hope to get lucky too. being the ground is shaking and bots are shooting at me from all sides..

but. i got on top of strelok shooting him with my new gauss gun even stabbing him with my knife- he cant die.. i look up and notice his health bar is gone.. i made a save on the roof.. if i restart the game- streloks health bar is gone. so- i have to try and play all the way through and not die to beat the game.. kill strelok is the end of the game.. or i guess he dies- i dont know- he is in cop- but its said the end of the game..

so thats some glitch or something- the chopper had no health bar i remember either- not sure if its supposed to have 1 or not.. but.. seems i cant finish the game- 10 patches- maybe its still not worth the 9 bucks i paid for it- 5 maybe..

any way- im going to play some from saves- try some faction stuff- then maybe this complete mod- if it works with patch 1.5.10 that is.. if not. i see no more reason to play it.. the end dont even work- freaken sucks- gsc is maybe the worst game makers- the stalker games would be really cool- if they just worked right- they should not even bother with mp- its the worst running crap ive ever seen in gaming.. i have not tried cs mp- i will give it a try- im sure its the same as the other 2 games tho- poor at best.. so..
