Stalker, havnt touched it since release, advice?

To be honest, I'd stick to v1.0004 patch. 1.0005 was to fix MP, but for me it seamed to add some issues to SP, especially when using mods and such.
 
Sorry a bit OT:

Does Stalker still have problems with 64bit vista? Or has this been sorted with patches? I got a workaround for it a while ago that was supposed to sort the address space in my memory but it turned out to not work.

I remember the weapons seemed weak at the start but got very good further on in the game - one of the silenced sniper-type weapons was lovely for one-shot kills. You have to keep going.
 
Just completed only to relise I don't have the decoder to open the door and had to take the wishmaster ending :mad:

Don't have any game saves before Chernobyl so can't go back either :(

Somehow I missed going to the guide bit and killing Strelok bit theyre both still in my pda

Oh well

Thought the game was really good tho lasted a week so better than the 1 day of COD4

You would have struggled to kill Strelok.

That's really sad and you're not the only one to do this. The 'talk to the guide' mission just shows up in your PDA with no communication from the trader or anyone telling you it's there or that you have to meet him.

The sad thing is that you missed the last two levels and they're the best levels in the game by far. You only saw the front of the NPP but they've actually modelled the whole thing and the last level takes you all round and over it. It's the best piece of modelling I've seen. You also missed talking to the guy from the consciousness (who explains what's going on, how the zone got there, who Strelok is etc), and seeing two other endings, including the good one.

I did see a mod that let you through the secret door without the decoder, but whether it will work without starting a new game I don't know. Got to be worth a try.
 
Stalker. Currently my fave game of all time. I recommend AMK 1.4 mod. The NPC's loot corpses and the AI has had a lot of work done on it. This game is truly superb.

You can get through with no mods - I did the same. Google it and see if you can find the video guide to get through locked doors. Basically it involves dropping your gun into the door and it glitches and opens a fraction. It took me LOADS of times to get it right and for it to let me squeeze through, but you could get lucky first time. Gauss gun worked best for me.

As fish99 said, it's definitely worth it for the level after that.
 
is there anyway i can use my old saves.basically my hard drive died and i did a copy of it. put it on new hd and all saves didnt work but got game working think its cause drive letter changed.thing is i dont want too start again.can i alter old saves some how? if not where can i get saves from running 1.0003 patch
 
cant see one think something has changed somewhere cause was on my different drive but now its on another one i cant find it.only folder i can find is main stalker folder are the gamedata.db type.searched pc folders do not exist anyway round this.
 
Bought the game last week, crashed all the time, 1.005, no improvement, 1.004, sorted. So I recommend 1.004 but a sample of 1 is not statistically significant you know ;-)
 
I had a few crashes with 1.005 when playing it through for the 2nd time recently, mostly after the game had been on several hours. Memory leak I guess.
