Patch 2 download - : MISERY Mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Thats not misery, thats a very common issue in CoP. If you find i fix that works post it. I have yet to find one. Some say turning off prefetching helps but i don't notice it. Usually happens when i run or move a bit.

Actually, I seemed to fix it by changing my BIOS settings.

See, I had just built my computer and for the time being im running on a single 4GB stick of DDR3 1600 RAM. It was advertised as 9-9-9-24 timings but when I installed it, it was running at 11-11-11-28, which is much slower.

I messed with BIOS but nothing allowed me to change the timings, so I simply used ASUS's UEFI Optimal Performance mode, and now they're running at 9-9-9-24, and viola, the more noticable stuttering is gone. I think it may be a RAM bottleneck, so within a week ill be getting a second stick, and that may be the fix.

This worked for me, so Im unsure what yours was. For the longest time it was the flashlight that was stuttering me.

Some other "tweaks" that will address micro-stutter (which has been a problem since SoC, especially in heavily populated areas and stems from the numerous DRAM access going on as AI are turned "off" and "on") . . . they're a little more technical, though - If you're up for it (and if possible), overclocking your system will help . . . especially the BUS speeds, as this will speed up CPU, DRAM, SATA channels and PCIE lanes. Tightening DRAM timings can improve things, too.
If possible, setup a RAID 0 or 10 array (10 preferred, and preferred using similar or exactly the same HDDs). It can help reduce HDD access times, and if you have fast HDDs it can greatly improve loading times as well.
Remove as many background apps as feasibly possible - if need be, disconnect from the internet and shut down any AV apps and firewalls also - these can slow down MEM and HDD access times.

Please don't tell like this- me, and many many people didn't had any crash ;-) And- I don't have new computer...

E5200 Dual Core 2.5 Ghz
HD Radeon 4870 1GB DDR5
4GB RAM DDR2.
Win7 64 bit.

I'm playing on full details(enhanced full dynamic lightning)30-70 fps.

Well i have crashes too,when I load a saved game.Do you guys suggest anything? And my pc sucks a bit,but runs with the high graphics with the original game is okay.

If you had companions following you when you saved, your save simply won't work for some reason and will crash.
So avoid making friends for now at least.

Allright,thanks.

True, my comp is.. sad. And I haven't had any crash issues. Aside from the one fixed in 61. Your computer likely doesn't meet the high end requirement deally. My best guess is all of the people with crash issues don't have enough ram.

If that is the case the only way N can fix all of your crashes is to buy all of you ram. And that isnt exactly reasonable is it?

Sights of ump45 are slightly skewed

Knives aren't really overpowered. If I stick 10 inches of steel in something's head, I'd expect it to die.

If the knife is now the same damage as a 9x18 pistol shot, that is weak as hell, your knife needs to be good, especially in a game with low ammo, though I just found a ton of PM and AK ammo in a stash.

Scratch that I'm just blind.

Well frankly, there's enough guns in the zone that if it doesn't work, they can still refuse to take it. If you step outside for a minute you'll see that at least everyone has a pistol and frankly if you do well, they're well maintained and worth a lot. The fact is that in an apocalypse this would be true, but this is the Zone and while thing aren't perfect outside of it, there are people still living normal lives.

stefen99 being nice?

Agreed, and also the AKM's sights are pretty misaligned. The front sight is aligned with the very front of the rear sights. You nailed the sights with the AK-105 though, I'm loving it.

I agree I always buy 10 7.62x54 rounds and 26 9x19mm rounds from the trader on the stalker ship.

Silencers in real life are a scam they dont silence at all their pretty much useless so thats kinda realistic

Although they don't make a shot completely silent they do cut out a lot of the noise. Watch fpsrussia's silenced Nighthawk 1911 video on YouTube for how effect suppressors are.

To put it more lightly, they get rid of the sound you hear at a distance. The only game that I think has shown this well would be ARMA 2, but the sound of gunfire is really damn loud in real life and travels far. A silencer doesn't make a gun silent, it makes the sound not travel as far.

Actually, they slow the bullet down to subsonic speeds which removes the "crack" as the bullet leaves the barrel. You still have the sound of the exploding powder and the working parts, yes, but it's still considerably quieter.

That's not true, a bullet will only leave the barrel at subsonic speeds if it uses less powder than the standard, a suppressor (there's no such thing as a silencer) just reduces the noise caused by the expanding gases in the chamber.

They didn't make a picture for that, or any of the non-vanilla weapons. Doesn't matter.

I'm playing with 16:9 with a field of view of 75. Mosin sights are still wonky, so I've left it in my stash for now. It'd be nice if you could fix it in the next patch, though. Thanks for listening to the fans, by the way.

To fully heal yourself, you gotta use the Medic-services found in all safe houses. These existed already in vanilla game, but being so easy and generous, I don't think anyone really used it.

Also healing artifacts and suits with HP+ upgrades are your friends. You are not really supposed to patch bullet holes with civilian first-aid items, are you?

In this mod's case it's best to avoid battles unless absolutely necessary, and most of all avoid medkit-spamming.

Ah, thanks for the info. it's just that at the first safe house (skadovsk), the medic disappears very early on in the game. So, i have no one to heal me.

i can't exactly get anomalies that heal yet because i need at least some health to acquire them since i have to traverse through radiation and what not.

And, yes, civilian med kits can't really fix up bullet wounds but the game was designed this way (vanilla) since you get shot and injured a lot. If it were to be more realistic then you would need to add mechanics to the game that reduce the odds of you getting shot. Stealth, camouflage etc. and have drastically fewer enemies or more melee oriented enemies.

Sadly the Mosin sites are still off. The . in the middle of the screen is on. But when I bring up the sights they are high and to the left. If I fire high and to the left where they come up I hit. If I aim down the sites I miss. Every time. Guessing sniper is still out. Maybe I'll try recon this time?
