Why? When dx9 or 10 will be fine![]()
Even that will bring it to its knees with just a little AA - modded, of course (SOC).

Yes, play the first one released, Shadow of Chernobyl. Read and then download this mod from here (comes with an installer) :

Stalker one of the most underrated games ever. Looks so beautiful with some mods,
I'm at the ending at the moment and having not bothered to pick up any better armour I'm stuck fighting the Monolith forces with just a slightly reinforced SEVA suit which is leading to me dying very fast![]()
Not by those of use who know better
Im well on my way through Clear Sky for my second run through. I think it maybe my first time with the complete mod.
The first stalker feels kind of messy, always getting missions that are over before you can get there. Clear Sky is much easer, im finding i can get through maps without even trying... but its offers you much to explore if you go out of your way, if you dont go out of your way then you will complete it a heck of a lot faster. Definatally much more friendly than the original.
The third in the series is far more linar, for want of a better word. You still get to explore but when you have played them all this one feels much more like a straight through shooter, although its far from it. It much more like that when compaired to the first two.
I dont like the way Clear Sky starts it gives totally the wrong impression of how the rest of the game plays. Shame as it may put people off playing.
I havnt got to it yet, but i remember the ending being very quick and feels like it was rushed.
Oh and the Red Forest can be a bit buggy, crashes all the time when i die, but being a hard core merc, i can handle it!
The only thing that the original does better than the others are the underground secret labs, i miss them when playing Clear Sky.
If there is one tip for the stalker games it would be to make regular saves.
Well, as Rage hasn't arrived yet I may end up modding Stalker for another playthrough. I'll either opt for COP with a mod other than 'complete' that I haven't yet tried, or SOC + Oblivion Lost.
I envy you, voorhees1979, - playing this for the first time with mods. Enjoy.![]()
Might be a silly question but, when you go out of your way to explore, are you finding good things? or just empty buildings with dead stalkers or something.

Arc can you do me a favour and try this mod please? It's called ''NARODNAYA SOLYANKA'' or ''People Soup''.
i thought the ak47/2 trophy was a beast of a weapon although ammunition was very sparse.
S.O.C seems a little unpolished compared to clear sky so i might install the S.O.C complete mod and see what that brings. I also might add the weapon realism mod as i hate how i can fire 3 rounds into a guys head with the dragunov and he still stands shooting me lol
*edit* has anyone tried call of pripyat complete?
