I will withhold any down..err... I mean purchase decisions until you've given a report.

Now that's what I call an enlightened consumer!

Make other pirate the games and test them out for you to help you decide if you should download it yourself after which you can consider buying the product itself.

Chewn through this process and spat out I give you: consumerism!

This time consumerism is teh winorz. This game is really quite good.

Nothing is taken from an inventory.

im buying it.

Appearently cracking the game is such a process that have to waste 10h on it wich I dont have.

Russians man..

and I have to wait 3 more days to buy it on steam....ö valve fkers

Just search for them on youtube, they really are nothing amazing.

I bought it and I like it, my only gripe is that for some reason my video card is having trouble working with the XRay Engine (the STALKER engine) and I don't know why. I used to be able to run the game on max graphics but I can't even run the game on dynamic lighting any more.

I've fully updated my drivers and DirectX, any other real suggestions?

I suggest this :

NFI, but you should definitely set fire to a posh hammer once you resolve the issue(s). Out of spite and love.

The only real total problem solver is a format. njoy.

@ senisterdenister: Maybe you should check the compatibility list? Some cards just can't handle some games. And oh, give Stalker forums a try. You tend to find people with similar problems (and hopefully those who've come up with a solution) there more likely than here.

what do you mean by that, kash?

I'm still waiting for a go-ahead by MR Snake, but who knows, maybe I'll have the exact same problem!

I bought the game from Steam...
And ofcourse Valve had the game more than 12 hours delayed according to their stupid ass timer so I went up early for nothing.

So I also removed the loud fan on my 8800 GTS and replaced it with a cooler wich now means it is soundless and awesome.

Stalker runs on max settings fine and I started playing it. The atmosphere so far does not feel like the one in the original, could be because I havent progressed that far but I dont find that alone and eerie feeling like I did with the old one.

Handling in the game isnt that great.. even though the fps is fine the game feels somewhat laggy and buggy.. dont know what to make of it yet.

Anyway, the first 3 hours of gaming were cool , havent met any muggers I couldnt kill yet.

Also cool are the upgrades.. my mp5 hits everything now with its increased accuracy and magazine

Sounds gut then. Maybe I should've saved the money I wasted on Spore to buy the new Stalker?

wait for a torrent
