How long do blowouts last now? I'm in a seemingly never-ending one....6 in-game hours now
Is that intentional?

Edit: Listening to the radio during a blowout, is making my blood run cold. Good job :D

Well not really, since it was sarcasm. 1gb RAM...seriously? It was merely said in jest, that's all ;)

Glad I could help. 8 hours!!!!

It works best with 1gb RAM or less, you'll be fine.

Yeah I hate having to tab out to do **** like that xD If i feel like a pussy at some point I can't just turn my volume down - cue heart failure :3

Is it possible to teleport/level select in this, like you can in Complete?

Multimedia controls on my keyboard don't work in game (play/pause and skip).
Same for the system volume control wheel on my headset remote....It does this for all SoC mods, not just LURK - any suggestions? :D

(message was sent over a closed frequency to any stranded stalker in the Zaton area)
append message: I'm out of anti-rad and slowly deteriorating - Vodka isn't cutting it anymore, too weak to run outside and the devs maintain control over any trade. If you could bring me a spare vial i'll gladly exchange food and shelter.

I'll drink to this. See if you can come and find me, i've set up a small squat in the Processing Station. Don't worry, i've dispatched the mercs - they were no trouble ;)
I have a crate of Vodka, a few sausages and some funky cans i ripped off the mercs, no need to let them go to waste right?
I have some misc. meds i found in the desk upstairs, if you are hurt.

Just please, don't sneak up on me - my trigger finger is a little restless.
Hope you find your way out soon!

Why have i never tried that mod? :O

There are yeah. There are also far too many people quick to try and point those guys out :P

Noone's really speaking of adding it to the game, it originated as small talk with the intention of being brushed off.
I think the discussion is more of why it shouldn't be/wouldn't be added (currently added content aside).
Just friendly debate :)

My fair share, yes. Not that it matters *in the slightest* - now do i tell you the reason i fired them? which ones i've used? What kind of ammo i've used? What was on the "other end"?

You'd think wouldn't you.... But, if all the rounds are going everywhere -but- the target, what good is that?

There was no need for clarification, it's moot xD

Even the Bren gun > BAR due to recoil issues. The BAR was just a big ugly boomstick that sprayed in any direction it could, due to the size of it's round ;)

IF they made it single shot, that'd be even better :D But, then i guess it wouldn't really be an LMG

You said it in one, the rest was un-necessary.

No point having powerful rounds when you can't control where they are going :)

Better spread with a smaller round = better lethality than a poor spread with a larger round.

No, you are right - the .30-06 isn't popular anymore. Which is a real shame because it's ballistics made it one of the best rounds ever made. Distance, drag, stopping power - everything. It was generically replaced by the .308, but people still use the .30-06 in sports.
I think it was replaced in military usage by the 7.62 NATO(?)
The BAR was great, but exists now only in museums or dedicated collectors. The RPD (or RPK?) you can get in the zone though :D Which is very accurate in short-burst and has more of a punch than the BAR ever did.

I think the reasons why people play games differs from person to person. A big part of why i like the game, is because i like the ballistics of the weapons. Get a decent soundsystem/headset and feel the kick! Not many games will match.
Immersion, atmosphere and plot are important. But, some will play it because of the addition of a great firearms system (they like to shoot ****...)

Yeah PlasmaDavid is right. It was un-necessary to jump down his throat like that bsnighteye - shame on you!
The BAR in the Ukraine is no more "zomg outrageous" than having the L85A1, LR-300, Beretta 92F and a bunch of pre-reform NATO ammo.
Other modifications are no problem in the zone, so chambering modifications wouldn't be an issue either. Also, the BAR fired several different types of ammo - not just the .30 winchester.

It's as much about guns or weapons, just as much as it is anything else.
You gonna go up to a lair of snorks armed only with a tutu?

Brilliant comment :D

Anyone know how close 2.0 is to completion? :D

Artifacts normally seem to respawn better after an Emission (practically every in-game day). Some respawn quicker than others i've noticed. Dredge station almost always has something for me, same for the burnt farmstead and boiler. The anomolies in Pripyat seem to respawn less in my experience.
Some people might have difference experiences, just my two cents :D
As for artifact runs, i start off 08:00 game time at the top of Zaton and work my way clockwise - then travel to Yanov, then Pripyat.
By the time you've completed an artifact run (if you're hardcore) you can go back to the start area, sleep off an emission and restart your run just after respawns. It lasts as long as your stamina does :)

Are you speaking seriously? You must be trolling....

Also, i can't sleep in game. I click "use" on sleeping bags in my inventory - it disappears from my inventory, then nothing. I don't sleep.

I seem to have a small issue with sound.

When enemies are firing at me from quite a distance away, sometimes the sound is played like they are firing right next to me :S
I'm using Asus Xonar and a creative fatal1ty headset....

At a guess it seems like the positional audio isn't working properly, but i'm not too sure why...

I'm running:

Win7 Ultimate x64
intel core i5 @3ghz x4
GTX 460 @ 1680x1050
8GB Ram
SATA HDD

The game, with the "current" version of the mod works beautifully and seamlessly on max settings. I doubt MISERY 2 would be too much more resource hungry than v1.0, although i'm not certain - I'm just going by logic and experience :)

Happy hunting!
