well i figure since i didnt see a thread with this game in it. and since i do have the game yet and i still play it. just like SoC which i still play as well but thats installed on XP and this is installed on Vista. so i can get all of the DX10 goodness out of it. right now they have a new patch for this game 1.5.10
http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/12845/S ... h+-+Retail
for those that have the game you can get it from there. it did help a bit but not much. but the game does look real nice with this gfx driver i am running in vista 186.24 i got it from XFASTEST HJ may know what i mean.

they seem to be 1 of 2 places that tend to get leak gfx drivers from Nvidia. i do have a few new screen shots with this patch and driver but i will post a bunch more once i get back into Vista later on .
right now since i have finish the game i am playing around once again.

so now i am at Agrprom and a enemy of the Dutyers so i finally figure. i might as well join up with the Freedom faction and then start killing the Duty and get paid doing now instead of doing it for free. well beside doing it for the loot i got from there died body.

well i 1st got a nice Freedom armor


and then when i took over the Duty base i got this armor and rifle which i then did a full upgrade on them both


then i went to town and finish them off some more and then i went to sell my loot back at the Freedom base since i have so much Duty loot lol. i came back and had to kill some more beside the bandits at the loners section as well. they seem not to please that i join the Freedom though but oh well i do like the new armor and weapons i got.

and as you can see i have a real nice snipe rifle to and it is wick good to. i think i may join the duty if i can since they tend to spawn back inside there main base building. and at 1 time i was able to ask there leader if i wanted to join them.

but i think i might so i can get there good armor and weapon. beside there black smith know how to repiar the armor and weapons i have all ready now from before. when i was in the loner faction. and here i am running threw the garbage heading toward the market building as they call it now.


dam it looks better here then it does posted here. let me tell ya.

Scavy! Sweet!!

Those shot sure look sweet, one thing about Stalker SOC and Clear sky, they have Excellent
GFX, though IMHO, the model look rather archaic at times, other than that it is Gorgeous!! I
mean the Monsters in SOC, always looked like a 6 year old Drew them

I have a Brother whom has it and loves it, I'm waiting for him to send me a copy
Nah, I'm not, I can find it cheap, besides the SOC edition is all the Stalker I need, I have it
I always loved all the MODS for that game just brilliant IMO. Like the fakies etc. The ones you
always talk about too!!


Take Care!!

Blue

thanks Blue, but yeah i to love SoC my self. but with the stuttering i have been getting with it so far. and ever since i got the new 285 it has kind of kill it for me all most. but like you if it wasnt for the mods i would have put the game away a long time agao. cause i finish the game with out any mods 6 times just so i could see what the endings where like for my self.

and not watch them on youtube like most would have done. since SoC has 7 ending to it over all and since not many people know that. so they play it once and figure they were done with it. dam if they knew that there was 6 more ways of finishing it and each way would depend on how you play the game for each ending a lot more people would play it.

but far most and for most if they would do a full optimization of the game engine for multi core cpu and mutli gpu system they may not be able to keep up with the demand of the public for the game.

but this game the gfx are out of this world, the way the water from the rain acts on objects is far out. i really like it for that. and then the sun rays and sun shine and shadows work in this game out do crysis hands down i think.

i need to get back and plays this some more but i need to work on my 69 Olds though. since i got 2 car shows coming up this next 2 wks. and i need to take the alt apart and clean it up a bit and i hope the brushes are still ok yet. cause i am not sure if they even sell them still any more.

i do have a 90amp 1 wire chrome alt that i got about 6 yrs ago for like $90 at a swap meet which was a steal then.i strill have the old fashion 3 wire chrome alt thats 40amp yet thats junk but the housing is in fair shape, i think.

well catcha yalls l8z

My Bro says Clear Sky's dioes'nt studder for him. Then again I'm not that sure how much he plays it, he said it's Easier than SOC ,

is all he said other than it ran fine, he's euning a Core 219 too. Latest Edition. 260, which is less of a card than yours, he doses not OC

his CPU at all though. Plus he doesn't tweak anything either and his is retail don't now that, that has anything to do with it. Him

might be Steam, not sure, then again, he normally buys retail Boxed games, he like me a BOX nut. Sometimes some games run

worse with a High OC'ed CPU or GPU, or the same, depending on how they are coded and as a Rule of thumb Russian Games are coded

programed on a lower end single core RTG. IMO. Not a top of the line SLI or CF set up with Quads. SOC shuddered a bit for me, but not

bad on my old 8800GTS640 card. This is just what I've read about GSC and 1c in general. Hmmm that's kinda weird. Did they fix the

AA in CS? I SOC it did not do a thing. Nor does it with Cryostasis. Games can look fine without AA IMO, if they are coded to do so.

AA is a bit of Smoke and Mirrors, Sorta, I know it helps a Bunch in a few titles, though for the most part if you think you need to use it 16X is

very unnecessary. Q4/AA or Q2/AA from NV is your best bet, if it available. My two cents worth. OI doubt anyone cares much, but

that's my view on AA, though with my FTW 275 I can finally Crank it in all games to 16X makes me feel like I'm cool that's about it.

LOL, just playing it does help if the game again is programed correctly to use it. Oh and now my BUD Ken says my GSC 640 won't fit in his

box well enough so I'm stuck with paying the other half of COJ BIB, that's ok though I got my check now. So looks like I won't be getting his ATI

card after all. Again, ok fine. I'm pretty mellow about that crap with my friends. Besides what 15 more buck. about 4 Gallons of gas or a trip to the movie

house by myself. Also doesn't bother me, when I go with others I always yak to much, LOL. Clear Sky and SOC are both GFX Driver sesitive

as well, they don't like tweaked drivers or Beta, just the driver that was ruuning at the time work best or WQHL form NV. Nothing else other than

stock nv drivers. Which is all I ever run anyhow. Try it on Win7 RC.

Blue

To be honest I like the Older games way more tah a lot of the new Crap.

well it is SoC that stutters like a SOB!! for me. and i have gone threw just about a dozen gfx driver and that is from 182 all the way up to 189. i have not tried the 190.16 driver. which i have tried a mix of tweaked and non tweak driver. and yes they all are from nvidia well in 1 form or another. since they are the 1 that write them any ways.


well i gotta get to the zone and get my parts and put my Alt back together and get the Olds running once more. well c ya Bro

Ordered Clear Sky for 6 bucks @ Amazon What the Hell, 6 bucks, cheap!!

Shipping is High but the seller is rushing it, in fact it's on it's way, This is a Stand alone game right Scavy?

I have Stalker SOC as well and soon "Stalker Call of Pripyat" will be out::



Know anything about that game Scavy??

Clear Sky::



I looked at the screens @ GS, looks pretty cool plus my Brother said it was GOOD.

We'll see, the Vanilla Stalker SOC (I bought when it first came out) is a Buggy ass game,

well maybe it's better now with the latest patch?

The Modded versions at Filefront are great though The Vanilla Issue, not so great.

Anyhow it'll be cool to play Clear Sky I'm hoping!!

Blue

C|net Score:: 3.5 Stars out of 5. So like a 7.5 @ GS which is having Technical troubles right now.

From C|Net (from GS) LOL!!



Before all this Stalker JAZZ, GSC did a Game called Codename: Outbreak, it used the Quake2 Highly Enhanced engine, it is old, I have it.



This was the beginning of Stalker!! Where it got it's ROOTS. Fun game but it was BUGGY, they never patched it either.

clear sky is a stand alone game and it does run and does have a few patch out for it to so find patch 1.005 or how ever they call them. i have finish it a few times all ready and there is a bunch of mods out for it as well just like SOC has.

i know i need to get around and install SOC so i can play it some more since it is a good game yet but you need the right mod to play with it lol.. so i have been using the ABC Inferno v 1.4 mod which has been great.

but i am like so many other stalker addicts waiting for the next mod from the modder for his newest Inferno 2 which he has still not finish yet but he is just 1 guy doing the work.

all my screen of the game well they are made with his mod so that would give you an idea of well and how good he is.

but clear sky was the 1st to come out with dx10 and dx10.1 rain and sun shaft effects which are killer to behold! but you could have gotten it off of steam for like $4 last wk Blue rofl

Thanks for the Great news on the price, always miss the Good deals!!

I post about them, but you know how it goes. Codename Outbreak was a cool game had

all kinds of trick stuff in it. To bad it was Buggy, and nobody bothered to fix it.

However I played through the whole game. Somehow

Clear Sky looks Pretty Cool, I disable the Cumbersome slow to a craw thing

when you have to many kilo's, I hate that Sh1t !! Should be fun. Is it better than SOC?

Or does it use part of the SOC maps as well??

Yeah, I always liked that MOD you used. Way cool!! I like the one where you can drive the vehicles too.

Blue

yeah a lot of the SoC maps are there and a few news 1 are there to. but it does have some buggy quest yet but maybe the new patch will fix it by some chance.. since i see there is a new 1 out since i last check for 1 lol the 1 you email me about so i am dl it now slow as molasses in winter time !!!

http://cs.stalker-game.com/en/?page=patches&item=10

but as you can see here it is for the mp crap which is par for the course for them.. since they have servers over there but we do not here wish we did cause i would like to give it a go .

i do use a few mods so i could get what i need for now so i can tweak my stuff since i did not save the mod i use the 1st time i played it. and thanks to driver sweeper it removed it from vista for me so i have no clue what mod i have so my save games are fubar right now

I know one thing Clear Sky and WIN7 don't get alone. I bought the game not knowing any specs, later

I heard there is now a WIN7 version. I have the Vista, XP version, however I can use Compatibility mode

and run it in WIN7, but it takes a long time to load, and load from last time I died, Quick Load, HUH!! Try about 30 seconds

or more in WIN7 anyhow. I installed the 1.5.10 patch, prior to that it would not run at all, Good old Stalker, still Buggy.

They sure have a ton of text to read and a gang of keys to bind, whoa!! But man the sky's still are the best I've seewn.

I can't run it past my Desktop rez, is there a work around for that? I run my Desktop at 1280X1080. But it still looks sweet.

I just hate the load times. That and I haven't played Stalker in years!! I have SOC also.

Anyhow here's a couple shots, I was able to run it at 1600X1200 but that ended, don't know why?

I may un-install and re-install the game. The patch was 71 mb, OMG!! Is there a different patch I should use Scavy??

I'll check my email. Funny AVATAR runs excellent Clear Sky is just as Buggy as SOC if not more so, I bet if I had the

WIN7 version, it would run fine.

Here it is::





Blue

Now when I try 1600X1200, the pointer thingy stops at 1280X1080 size, it's like it hits a Brick wall, any clue what's up??
