S.T.A.L.K.E.R Clear Sky - Gone Gold

The Irony is, this state of affairs was reached just after the game was pirated, therefore allowing the pirate copies to be at least more playable than the Pre-ordered ones sent out the day it was released here(yes I too pre ordered it, several months ago!). You must be an American if you cant see that as slightly ironic.

A coincidence isn't an irony. You're not paying for the game to get some sort of reward or a better experience, you're paying to support GSC and because it's the right thing to do.

It's no more ironic than when the pirates got Doom 3 days before the people who paid for it. If you bought Doom 3 and the copy protection didn't work with your dvd drive thus stopping you from playing, that might just be an irony.
 
i kinda have a problem, i'm suppose to retreive a PDA for a guy in the Freedom Fraction as part of the primary objective, on my way back after getting the PDA i saw a guy with a sniper rifle which i wanted so i decided to kill him, but when i get to the Fraction's camp they all go hostile and keeps shooting at me so i had no choice but to take them out even the person i have to return the PDA too, and although he's dead the objective is to still hand it back to him before i can move on, what can i do. both my auto save and save does not take me back to the point where they're not hostile with me :(

edit: nvm i installed the new patch so have to start from scratch.

If you have enough meds you can make a run for it, medding yourself on the way. Or you can double back to swamps and take the other route in the north east corner.
 
I got the game at the weekend and am just getting started with it, I have everything maxed @1280 x 1024 Dx9 ( as using xp) performance using the in game stats is anywhere from 36 to 64 fps so playable. Ive had a few CTD (using 1.504) but that seems to be par for the course with the stalker games just hope the patches come thick and fast. Dunno if this has been posted yet but the tweakguide for Clear Sky is up:).
 
OK, so I'm ambling along quite happily on my first mission with the Clear Sky guys. Once I got to to the church building, there were a few dead guys from my team as I must have spent too long admiring the scenery from the top of that metal tower nearby.
Then, one of the dead guys pulls himself up from the floor, walks over to me, steals my pistol and then proceeds to moonwalk over to the other side of the building.
None too pleased I follow him for a bit thinking that this must be one of the bandits I've read about, but the guy was one of ours.
I attempted to start conversation but in response he steals my shotgun aswell. I tried to knife him in the back to get my stuff back but of course the whole clear sky faction then open fire on me.
I'm fully patched up but I think I'm going to put this game down until we've had a few more patches.

A renegade shot me with a pistol and i started bleeding, i used a bandage but it did nothing so ended up using all of my bandages and a medikit but still nothing worked.

I think it depends how badly you are bleeding. There's two or three severity scales in bleeding. More severe wounds require more than one bandage. I don't think it's a bug but a feature of the game.
 
Very good tweak guide here-

http://www.tweakguides.com/ClearSky_1.html

in particular it says turn down sun rays from high to low for a significant boost during mornings when the god rays are drawn, but without impacting image quality significantly.

The guide also says to use DX10 since it has little performance impact and the new effects look nice.

Well worth reading (but skip the console commands bit).

Its fairly stupid that 27 bandages and 6 medikits didn't stop the bleeding.

You don't want to be reading the Graphics card shootout with Stalker - Clear sky over at Guru3d..

It seems the 4870x2 was running slower than a single card 4870 with 512mb ram.. The 280 Overclocked card came out tops.. - Shame really as I just bought a 4870x2 also..

Hmm you right, it struggles.
Also having another problem, i cannot get AA to work on it :confused: I set everything in the Control panel to 16xAA and it refuses to work in Clear Sky :(

I tried Bioshock with all settings to full and it was stunning :p Then i had a go on Team Fortress and it all looked perfectly crisp, not a jagged edge in sight.

So why cant i get AA to work in Clear Sky?

Weird about the x2 performance. I'm running it with my 4870 x2 with nearly all settings maxed in DX10 Enhanced lighting mode @ 1900x1200. Its pretty smooth, not 50fps but decently playable, this is with sun rays on etc. I've only dropped down view distance to 3/4 of max and lighting distance to the same. AA was fixed for me in 1.5.04 patch and thats maxed now. I have set Catalyst AI to Advanced in CCC and thats all.
 
Weird as both my GPU cores are maxed out when playing, maybe this is a false reading then from Everest, its certainly not duplicating the gpu1 value as they show different readings when not at 99%.

Hopefully the next ATI driver release will sort this issue out once and for all.... we can hope :P

Forcing MSAA only works with Vista/DX10 and not in XP/DX9 and perhaps only on Nvidia cards.

Ahhh ok, well ive been having a weird problem with Vista becoming corrupt and thought id solved it ..... until had to disconnect all the drives to fit the x2, so i tried it in XP64. Will try to get Vista working tonight and give it another go ;)
