explore finish any missions there a few more artefacts outside of anomaly clusters i nthe open that can be foudn with the savong then go to a guide/stalker and ask them to lead you out of the zone to get your end movie.
 
How does this game play on an ATi 5770 1gb? I've ordered one to replace my 8800GTS 320mb which played the original STALKER OKish when it first came out, rest of rig is i5 750 at stock and 4gb ram. Might install those mods and replay the first as well, I really enjoyed the first one, although never could manage to get inside Chernobyl due to dodgy game saves I had. Tried Clear Skies but it was way too buggy to play which was a shame.

EDIT: oh and can people post some nice screenshots from the game please :)

The rest of your spec is well above adequate. It's a nice system. If I was you and had the cash for a 5850 then that is what I'd go for. They can be had for sub 200 pounds so I have read. However, a 5770 should overclock well and get near to a 4890 performance. If it is not enough then you could xfire by adding another...or just return it under DSR and buy a 5850. :D

Have a look at 5770 performance on the Call of Pripyat benchmark. That will give you an idea of how the card should perform. :)

Thanks, I don't upgrade that often so bought the i5 last year mainly for video and photo work, money isn't really an issue, but personally I hardly ever play PC games these days so it's not really worth me spending £200+ again on cards, plus the 5770 seems good and as you said I can XFire it in the future as my motherboard will let me. Also have my PS3 which I play more these days. As long as games run reasonably well at 1080 I will be happy.

Thanks for that, will have a read now :)
 
OK, I've been playing for the last few days and getting quite into the game, it's not as hair raising as the first game (never played CS as it was a bugfest for me) but more polished in some ways.
Finally got a Veles detector and now I seem to be getting 3 or 4 artifacts per anomoly, hope to build up enough cash to get a decent suit and weapons.
One thing I was thinking about, as the game has a day/night cycle if you played long enough (in-game time) will the length of days follow normal seasonal variations? By this I mean does the sun rise and set at different times depending on the month?
I have got to Jupiter but I'm back at the first map as I want to try and complete the side missions there as well as rack up some cash for bits.
Running great @1080p on the 5770 although I am running DX9 mode @ maximum so I can use the higher res. Running a lower res even at max everything looked worse so I prefer the higher res.
 
Awesome game. Better but easier than the other 2.

I got to the helicopter at the end, left and watched the cutscenes, then reloaded to stay as I still hadn't gotten the calibration tools or explored even half of the stuff. I'm totally rocking in my exoskeleton with 3rd level mods so I can sprint, and 4 artifact containers which I mix for either max protection, weight or healing. I'm still totally unsure with whats the best assault rifle but I do like the Il-86 with the mod to use ak ammo.
Anyway, here's a few screenies. Runs fine with rig in sig-dx10 mode @1920x1200.

Im up to the x8 labs, although a bug where you talk to Kovalsky afterwards means that I will have to redo it again, apparently I need to do the "One shot" mission first otherwise it wont work.
 
I have been playing this game for an hour now and have to say, coming from playing Shadow Of Chernobyl non stop for a few weeks, the graphics are disappointing.

I can only run it with Full Dynamic Lighting but I expected it to at least look as good as SoC vanilla, I never have modded Stalker and thought SoC looked amazing.

Everything looks too smooth and bright, and grass starts appearing 2-3 metres in front of me with the distance sliders on maximum. Also the heads up display seems to be too large (in fact, everything seems a bit too large, kind of zoomed in).

I will keep playing as I'm a massive S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fan and know the gameplay will make up for any graphical shortcomings. Just a bit of a let down.
 
Just use the mod packs people posted on here, seems to help, but I agree on the poor grass draw distance, it looks rubbish really.

I play dx9 mainly to keep the frame rate high at 1920, might give dx10 or 11 another go at some point.
 
I tried a few texture packs, a field of view hack, the Atmosfear mod and some user.ltx tweaks. It still looks pants to me.

There seems to be more blur at a distance compared to the other games no matter what settings used. I'm wondering if they had to tone it down because of memory restraints and to cut down on stability issues like in Clear Sky.

The blurring you talk about, is that everywhere or the parts outside the direct line of sight?
 
I'm not really sure if it is that, it is very noticeable looking out in Zaton. If I get out the binoculars some detail comes back.

I have tried AF on full. I am running at a 1280x1024 resolution, maybe its been made more with widescreen in mind.
 
Well I just completed it, bit of an anti-climax really, thought there was going to be more missions.
If I choose not to get on the chopper does that mean I only get to stay in Pripyat and cant go back to Yanov etc?
