¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The angry downvote mob knows best.

Was just mentioning what Dez told me, but i guess anything could change, so yeah; at your own risk.

all.spawn will reportedly be the same, the only thing they'll be fixing are a couple of scripted scenes, text files, things like that. Technically, you won't need to start a new game.

Whoa, that's weird. As i descended in the catacombs, i thought that it would bleed my ears as well, since it's one location and all. Turns out, the sound completely muffled once you're inside and only comes back after emerging. Buggie bug?

Totally subtle hint: Underneath ; )

Okay, good to hear. At least i know it won't be a problem to revert back to 1.4001, in case it goes down south with the new patch. Cheers.

Never played a stalker game that doesn't do that; Vanilla ShoC most notably did it while entering the bar area, CoP and CS both stuttered when nearing heavily populated friendly/enemy bases. I wouldn't wager on a fix for it, as it seems an engine limitation.

Dez, I've sort of progressed far enough into the game, so far enough in fact that I'm not sure i could bear another start up with the new patch. Thus, here comes the question; If i installed the game properly (LA 1.3000, PATCH 1.3003, DC 1.4000, saved both gamedata files, ran DC 1.4001, put the db files back into the folder) am i good, or is the new patch fixing something additionally, that renders the game unplayable otherwise?

Tone down grass draw distance and sun shadows, that's about what destroyed my machine.

Just wanted to make clear if we can keep playing this way till the patch comes out, or will it require a new game? (heaven's sake, i hope not)

I V LOAD SAVE

Kudos! The overly bright skies used to rub my eyes the wrong way.

Turn the sun shadows option off. Cranked my FPS from 10 to 15, to about ~45-50, whilst also maxing out everything else.

No big problem with the way it is now; installs easy enough and is stable. Works like a charm, in fact, compared to the 2014 version.

That "Loading" animation seems a bit off. An MS-DOS boot screen would look terrific in exchange.

Thank you! Gonna give it a try.

*EDIT* Dumped Fraps for now, Bandicam seems way more stable and resource friendly.

Nothing. Nada :( Still just outright refuses to "see" what's in the CoC.exe window. Tried everything from resolution changing to window mode and so forth...

Hey there everyone and happy holidays! Can anybody else record the game via FRAPS? It just so happens, that when i turn both on (CoC and subsequently fraps) The fps counter doesn't show up, but the program will still record if i press the hotkey, albeit a black screen with sound only! No such problem in any other game. Ideas?

The sense of independent life itself is lost in that case. You're just playing in a world in which the life of it depends on your actions i.e. wooden and flat.

After the events of ShoC.

Yes, you can. But you have to open and exit through the passenger door, seeing as your aim can't reach the driver side door.

That's the reason i never went back to bar to buy one, i thought Veles didn't just give me that flash drive to be useless and then send me to download data - it MUST be just for that. But it's not. It does nothing. It's usable. But does nothing. How awesome *_*

What do i do at the computer at x-18? I understand i need to download some info, but the option is grey. Don't tell me i had to buy the flash drive barman was selling at the beginning of the game (which later dissapeared from his inventory)

open up the console (~) and type in: fov X, where x is the desired value.

You could try disabling grass shadows, gave me a 30 fps increase

Вылет связан со статическим освещением. Перейди на динамику и зайди в бар. При переходе на другую локацию - смени на статику (уже по желанию) Известная проблема, может решат патчем?

They're visible alright, it just seems they changed the concept from what we've grown used to know artifacts in ShoC - lying at every step. Here, i've only encountered about 4 artifacts from ~5 hours of gameplay but they also cost more. Less and more rewarding, i like that :P

The crash is due to static lighting, for some reason. Switch to FDL and try again. When you exit the area, switch back static lighting. Hopefully will be fixed in the patch :x
