I'm going to buy S.T.A.L.K.E.R. but i want the multiplayer maps and skins you get with the limited edition version . So, i was wondering, since i already know the codes to unlock the multiplayer maps, can i just buy the normal version of the game and use the codes with it? What i'm asking is, can anyone with the normal version of the game tell me if it's possible to use the mutliplayer map codes, or if it's only possible to use them with the Limited Edition version.

Thank you.
 
Snork and pseudodog. I actually bought the limited edition version a while ago, but sent it back because it didn't work. But now i've reformatted my system, a load of my other games are working better now so i want to give S.T.A.L.K.E.R. a try again.
 
I have the game now, but i'm having some trouble. When i try to save the game, it just crashes to desktop. Is this problem fixed in any of the patches?

Also, i don't know exactly how to install the patches. 1.0004 is the latest one, so do i just install it or do i have to install 1.0001 and 1.0003 first?
 
1.0001 - 1.0003 - 1.0004, should sort out some fo your probs.

Ive got a little bored after the brain scorcher bit?

Am i correct in thinking im rather near the end of the main game?

Alright, thank you. So am i right in thinking these patches are incremental? It's annoying that i can't just install 1.0004 from the stock game.

The patches i've downloaded have the following file names:
stkww10001
stk-ww-0-3
stk-ww-1-3
stk-ww-10004

So i can either do stkww10001, stk-ww-1-3 then stk-ww-10004, right? Or maybe stk-ww-0-3 then stk-ww-10004.

Also, is there a full 1.0004 patch anywhere?
 
Is there a 1.0004 patch out now? I've only got up to 1.0003, and I've been checking quite regular... where can I get this latest 1.0004 patch from?

Looks like you've downloaded the 1.0003 patch twice, as theres only been 3x :-

Patch version 1.0001
Patch version 1.0003
Patch version 1.0004

Best to install one after the other, as 1.0004 doesn't have some fixes from previous ones i think.

There are 2 versions of 1.0003. One, which is an incremental patch (9.63MB) to use if 1.0001 is installed, one is a full patch (11.5MB) to use if 1.0001 hasn't been installed.

What difference does it make?

I can't seem to find the European versions. Can someone direct me where to get these? I just downloaded the worldwide versions, assuming they'd be the correct ones.

OK, i'll install the 1.000 --> 1.0003 patch, then the 1.0004 patch (all the "Worldwide" versions).

Do you guys have any recommendations for "must have" mods for this game?

As you have updated the game to the latest patch you will find that many of the mods will not, as yet, work. Many of then are being adapted to take into account the changes that have been made.

Ok, thanks for telling me. I'll worry about mods later, then. Right now i'm having difficulty even getting the game to work properly. A lot of the time, when i quicksave of quickload, the game either freezes or crashes to desktop, any advice?

EDIT: I think i know what the problem is. When STALKER uses >2GB of memory, and i try to quicksave, it causes it to crash. I understand there's a fix for this, and i've spent the past hour or so trying to find it. I believe it involves setting a new memory address limit or something, but i'm not sure exactly what to do. Can anybody walk me through it, or point me in the direction of a guide detailing this fix please?

I really need some help with this guys. It's killing me not being able to play this. If i'm playing it for more than a couple of minutes and try to save it, it just crashes, so i can't really get anywhere with it at the moment. Basically, what i want is, a walkthrough of how to do the fix i briefly mentioned in the post above. I remember downloading Visual C++, going into the command prompt and entering something along the lines of "largeaddressaware", for Battlefield 2142. I think i have to do the same thing now, but i don't know exactly what to do.

Thanks in advance.

That's exactly it, thank you so much. I found similar guides, but they were just retyped by other users with bits missed out so they were of no use to me. This one, however, is.

Although, i still don't know why Visual C++ is required. It says it's needed to run the command prompt as an administrator, but can't this be done with the normal command prompt anyway in Vista?

Also, this guide says to enter "BCDEDIT /set increaseuserva 2900", and others quote "3072" instead. Anybody advice as to which number i should use?

I received my copy of Stalker this morning, and while installing the patch (from 1.0 straight to 1.0004) I noticed it lists all the previous changes of the other patches, so to me that tells me it's a full patch and not a partial one.
