S.T.A.L.K.E.R request please

S.T.A.L.K.E.R should be arriving today or tomorrow. Im looking forward to it as it'll be the first game apart from Oblivion I've played this year!

I've been scanning thru the huuuuuuge thread here but tbh it's always a nightmare to find info amongst all the banter of a gazillion posts.

Could some kind souls link me to the best S.T.A.L.K.E.R sites/wiki's/mod guides please.
I've been reading Tweakguide but it's a bit thin on the ground regards to mods etc.

maybe im jumping the gun, but as S.T.A.L.K.E.R has much in common with Oblivion im guessing there are many fanbased mods and fixes.

Sorry for being a bit idle but I have'nt had time to do much research so a headstart would be great.

thanks

There's a huge thread on it in this section of the forum. Just installed it myself yesterday, what settings are people running it on with a C2D @ 3.2Ghz/2Gb/X1800XT? Got it on 1280x1024/Full HDR/Medium and it doesnt look all that and runs average....

Thats cos its been coded pants !

I refuse to spend £250+ on a gfx card just to make 1 stupid old (should have been out years ago, and it looks like it too) game run.

My rig runs other decent games fine so i'm not upgrading just for this, I'll revisit this game in about 1 year.

I never ever finish games as i just get bored, I'm getting back into HL2 just now now its a good game that scales well. Looks loads better than Stalker.

Well I've got an E6400, gig of ram, 7600GT and the game runs really nicely with most stuff turned up (1280x1024). Looks great in my opinion

Very atmospheric.

Only problem I had was chronic hard drive access problems due to a knackered drive - created intense stuttering and lag. Stalker, by default, precaches stuff as you look (I believe) at it so turning to look at a building would lag it the hell up, as it raped the drive.

It can be altered though
