I'm playing SGM 2.2 and I'm frustrated with the low performance I am getting. I've turned all the graphics settings down, installed the optimized shaders and even tried the modified dll files but the game is still very choppy. I've even installed it on my SSD and although it speeds up initial loading times, when I get in a firefight or go to Skadovsk it becomes a slideshow. Is it just because xrengine isn't well optimized? I mean, I can get a constant smooth experience in Far Cry 3 but max out at 19 fps in CoP  .I have a lot of love for STALKER but this is just making it a chore to play. nexus6 fucked around with this message at 16:39 on Mar 15, 2014 |

Am I missing something? I thought Lost Alpha was a mod based on old builds of stalker. Is it an official commercial game now or am I thinking of something else?

I'm playing SGM 2.1, when do I get an objective to go to one of the new (old) areas (dark valley, military warehouses)? I've finished the main storyline and I'm in freeplay now, not much to do besides kill hundreds of zombies.

Loving Lost Alpha, it's like a fourth STALKER game. I've always been annoyed that no matter what other mods added or changed, the game still felt very familiar (I haven't played People's Soup though). This has blown me away so far, I've only got as far as the Garbage but I'm very impressed. Does anyone know what setting I need to change to prevent myself going blind?

Fish Fry Andy posted:I wasn't really sure why I was seeing people say that they didn't like Lost Alpha, but I think I'm about half way through X-18 right now and I can totally understand. Unskippable awkward cutscenes and monster closets in Stalker? Sick. It's not enough to make me stop playing if only because I enjoy the new content, but it really takes away from what makes these games great. I'm feeling this a bit too, plus a hell of a lot more backtracking. Still loving it though.

Monolith. posted:If you still get a long escape menu/quicksave/loading in Lost Alpha, try going to the bin folder, sending a shortcut right to your desktop and not doing any compatibility options besides admin level privilege. It probably doesn't hurt to add -external (not sure what this does) and -noprefetch to your target line. The shortcut created by the installer already does that.

Nehacoo posted:Lost Alpha's plot takes a quite hilarious fan-fictionesque turn a bit into the game. I still haven't finished it though, I keep getting fed up with the huge distances you need to run between every mission just to talk to some dude and then run all the way back or something. It could really do with some kind of fast travel system. There's a mod on the GSC forums called 'The Guiders' that allows NPCs to take you directly to areas as fast travel. Works pretty great for me. Takes you right to groups of friendly stalkers too.

Nehacoo posted:Thanks, I'll look into that. Is it compatible with existing save files? Sure is, it just appears to add extra dialog to some existing friendly NPCs such as Baldy - the guy in the corner in the bar. Only thing is they don't ask for money so it might seem a bit like a cheat but I only use it for ridiculous backtracking of places I have just been through e.g. escaping dark valley, driving all the way through darkscape and walking through the near pitch black mines only for an NPC to take away all my gear and tell me to go back to the bandit base in dark valley.

Swartz posted:Also, SSD's are great (I finally got one around 6 months ago) but don't expect game loading times to go down too dramatically. They're great for installing your OS and common files on though, I can boot up after pressing the start button within a few seconds. After I got my SSD I put CoP on it, my load times went from over a minute to ~10 seconds. YMMV I guess

Does Arsenal Overhaul just change the guns? I've played CoP to the point I know it like the back of my hand it it's a bit dull doing the same missions in the same areas again and again.

I've just built a new PC and I've got the urge to play STALKER again. I've played all of them several times so I'm looking for something to give me a new experience, but perhaps not something as punishing as Misery. What's everyone else playing at the moment?

Sounds good, I always enjoyed Lost Alpha, except for the mindless backtracking, but there appears to be a lot of hate for it. Perhaps I just haven't played far enough into it?

I've been playing SGM Geonezis all day and can confirm it's great. It felt a little rough around the edges initially (some text is still Russian) but it's fine: I'm loving the new quests and characters, weapons and armors. At first the radioactive water was annoying but now it changes how I approach getting around the zone. I believe the AIO on moddb has Misery textures included so it looks gorgeous and, for me at least, it performs better than SGM 2.1 as I get a lot fewer stutters.

Still, a lot of stuff is pretty cryptic and it sucks if you picked up the Informant's quests and then forget where you're supposed to look. I'm finding this too with Informant quests: I've no idea what you're meant to be doing. I've been ignoring them for the most part.

Good Lord, just started a new game of OGSE 0.6.9.2 and the mutants are on drat steroids. Everything can kill me in two attacks which really sucks if I can't kill it before having to reload. Never had to quickload so many times to do the rookie missions in Cordon.

Does OGSE 0.6.9.3 have dogs that can take off half your health? I kinda stopped playing 0.6.9.2 after I had to quick load several times just trying to do the 'clear the farm' mission in Cordon where several screaming fleshes spawn and one hit kill you while you reload your shotgun. I've run out of shotgun ammo before killing the easiest mutants in that mod.

lordfrikk posted:So I decided to try out SGM 2.2 and I just can't find this Tamerlane dude's corpse. Google spit out a few results of people saying you need to try to open Sidorovich's door and then find explosives in one of the house cellars. Disregarding the fact that this makes no loving sense whatsoever (seriously how are you supposed to figure this out, there's no quest log entry nor map marker?), there's no explosives as far as I can tell in any of the houses. Any help? I just did that mission yesterday. The translation isn't great but you are right. You have to check Sid's door before the explosives spawn. I found them in the basement of the house that Nimble sleeps in in the original game. There's a mattress on the floor and behind it a ladder into the basement. The explosives were right there. You have to then go back to the door and place the explosives. You get a little radio thing in your inventory that is the detonator. Use it to blow open the door. Yeah, the mission design isn't the best and unfortunately the majority of mods seem to be Russian made and Google translated. I'm having fun though, just wish some of the scopes weren't so small.

lordfrikk posted:Well, gently caress, they brought back the Swamp and I thought I'll never have to play this lovely map again once I was done with Clear Sky Yeah, I just ran through the swamp area as fast as I could. Don't worry, Zaton is next and there aren't a lot of missions to do in the swamp (lots of backtracking though) Just got to Zaton/Jupiter though and the performance has really fallen. Stutters all the time to the point I don't want to play it anymore Last time I played DMMAE:PE I had fun initially but eventually the friendly bases got overrun with mutants and there aren't any roaming groups of stalker/bandits/mercs/anything so the maps get pretty empty fast. nexus6 fucked around with this message at 11:52 on Jul 25, 2015 |

Looks like the Call of Chernobyl team is having a meltdown or something and somebody leaked it on 4chan. I stopped playing SGM because the stutter made it an unfun mess. Installed the most recent Stalkersoup and having a blast at 60fps.

I'm excited for CoC, but does it use CoP as a base? For some reason CoP runs like rear end on my machine but SoC is great. For example SGM runs at 20fps max and StalkerSoup runs at 60+

I'm playing CoC with Absolute Nature, is there a setting I've missed to stop grass changing color when I get close? http://gfycat.com/SpryRawCaracal Forgive the butchered video, but think you can see what's going on. It's really distracting. Minarchist posted:Sell guns with bad condition Both these links appear to be dead Edit Man, I really want to enjoy CoC but I'm gonna hold off for a few months because it really doesn't feel ready. I've already had a number of crashes, occasionally for some reason or another it will go from fullscreen to a 800x600 window and sometimes in the interface I can't click on certain buttons until I restart because I simply can't move the cursor far enough. I've killed three military guys so far who just walked towards me like I wasn't there. I get the above mentioned texture issue and this.  Welcome to the Garbage, hope you remembered your sunglasses! I'm gonna wait for a few more patches. I know it's part of the STALKER experience, but I've spent more time today trying to install mods, fix settings and restart after crashes than I have actually playing the game nexus6 fucked around with this message at 18:32 on Oct 18, 2015 |

Ddraig posted:Yeah. If you want to install Absolute Nature/Structures last they should be fine. They've been updated to include gridgt's bump map changes which are also in my mod, so provided you overwrite the files that already exist it should be fine. This may be where I have gone wrong. I didn't think the order mattered since they weren't modifying the same files (excluding your mod - I haven't tried that because I don't like HUD-covering facemasks)
