For some reason my Psi Storms are bugged, that's what was causing this. I had to return to a save file just before the 1st Psi-Storm aboard the Svardosk because it never ended.

Anyway, I had to turn off psi storms in the options, go back about 8 saves, and now everything works normally.

I have a feeling no one probably even looks in these threads anymore, BUT, after about 25 hours, out of nowhere, my game is now running at 1 to 2 frames per second!!

ALL of my saves are corrupted and I have no idea why.

I tried replacing the save file with a backup I made about 15 hours ago when I was trying some stuff, and it works fine, but there is NO WAY I'm going back 15 hours of gameplay just to lose it all again out of nowhere.

This is a shot in the dark, but has ANYone ever had this happen to them? and if so, what causes it?

2) You have to keep teleporting back until you eventually get to the room with all of the boxes blocking the Blue anomalous tunnel shoot or break enough of the top rows of boxes, then cross over to the RIGHT side, once you get into that tunnel a cut scene locks you into a scripted event and you no longer get teleported, BUT, try to keep on that right side and wait for the controller to come to you, for me he died in one of the anomalies. After he dies, or you kill him, you can return to the intersection and continue on your way out.

Thanks man!! I looked all through that building, but you have to be standing just in the right spot.

Is there a trick to get the Artifact of Death? My quest indicator tells me to go to the Military Base, right in the middle of the electrified building. I put down all 5 scanners, and this quest marker shows this as my next goal.

I can find my way in, but every time I try to pick up what appears to be the artifact I die.

Is there a trick to it? I found a power building/tower that has a usable door and thought maybe I would have to cut the power, but I don't see any way to do it?

Without giving away too much, is there something I am missing?

I finally got it, you gotta spam F until the dialogue comes a few times.

Thanks, man, you put me on the right path.

I've respawned in a few times, but I will try again, there might be a slight target box and I'm just not seeing it.

thanks!!

I am at a stopping point and I have no idea what to do next.

Unless I am missing something, to proceed any further I need to wake up the drunk Doctor in Agroprom, and "get him off the bottle", but it's been 2 days and he is still sleeping.

I get no indication on how to wake him up, there is no "talk" option, no "wake up" option, nothing. I searched the area and all I could find is that there are some odd-looking branches above his sleeping bag that don't look attached to the tree properly??? (is this it??) but I have used everything except grenades to try to knock them down

I've shot him, and still, nothing happens. Is this a bug? OR is there something I am missing?

NOTE: I've done everything else in my task list except to go to the CNPP which I can't do.

please help

Right!! You get the key first, then you find the code for doors in the lab itself.

my mistake.

You should have been given the code, look in your encyclopedia, the code should be in there. Also, when you get to the lower levels, there is another code to find. I almost missed that one as the dialogue went by so fast.

Cool!! I'm in that Quest Tree now. The STALKER told me about a scientist in the bar I might be able to get a pass from, but I don't see the quest as being active yet for some reason?

BUT, tell me, how do you wake up Alexander the drunk scientist? Do I HAVE to go to the digger quest first? Please tell me no because THIS quest feels like a total setup and I just know I'm going to get knocked out again.....

I finally got it!! I just kept reloading until I was able to run into and through the fire anomaly close by. That weakened them just enough so I could give them all a lead injection!

I already got him all the tools, I should have mentioned that, sorry. But there seems to be an upgrade tree with this particular suit that has to do with Exo-type stuff, and it just says The tech cannot do this type of upgrade.

And if there are other techs that can do upgrades instead of just repairs, then that's cool!! I can wait.

thanks man

Question, I'm at the part where I have to do a quest (to go any further) for the Dr. at the garbage hanger, and I just got a super cool combat suit for rescuing the STALKER from the bandits.

My question is, I tried to fully upgrade my suit and for some reason, the Technician in Cordon can't do some upgrades. So is there another Tech further in the game?? You don't have to tell me where because I probably can't go there yet anyway, but I just would like to know, because I might buy a freedom Exo, and I want it fully involved!!

I know right, who thought that was a good idea?

I'm in one of those loops right now doing a "quest" for Dr. WhatsHisName of the Garbage Clan, snoorks and dogs, and I die before I can get a shot off....

Is there a trick to this stuff?? Or are you supposed to be instakilled over and over until you get lucky?

Guys, I cannot figure out what to do about the trader Crutch. He sent me to pick up some artifacts from the bandits and then said he had to go for a few days blah blah (why?? why did he have to leave?) and then of course I got ripped off from the bandits...not my problem really, but Crutch needs to know.

So I have done the X18 quests the radio guy quest, the zombie quest, and gone back to Cordon to get my stuff upgraded, it's been about 5 days, when does Crutch come back so I can tell him about the bandits?

Hey guys, I just did the mission for the Duty guy's birthday, and one for the barkeep, and the Duty guards let me in the Duty base to see the commander, but I can't get past the gate in the Duty bunker?

I can get my stuff repaired by the mechanic, but that's about it.

The gate is locked (or just shut) mid-way in the bunker, and there is no guard to talk to, what do I do here?

thanks

Just wanted to stop by and say THANK YOU for the great MOD/Game!!

The patches have been quick and fixed one of my issues already, and I really like the economy so far, very fair, and well done. The graphics, and the new interface...all very well done.

There is a couple of things I would change to make things flow better, but so far this is a well-done job!!

LONG time STALKER fan with thousands of hours in the zone!! And I am enjoying this very much!!

I guess I need to get used to it, I'm still comparing it to LA as I just finished it earlier this week. In that one if I turned over the "mission" artifacts to Sid I got like 1500ru, BUT if I sold them to him or Barman I got market value, which depending on the artifact could be up to about 11,000. BUT, they were not locked in my inventory, so I had the choice.

One of the artifacts added 10kg of weight too, I really did't want to give that one back.

BUT, getting the Velez early (next area?) sounds good, I am an artifact hunter!!

thanks man, appreciate y'all.

WAIT just a second!!

You do the artifact mission for Sid, and not only does he rip you off on the price (which is expected with Sid the trader) BUT he also takes back the Bear detector??

What a ripoff! Is this quest supposed to be like this? When you complain about the price he even tells you that to be fair he "gave" you a Bear detector....but then POOF it's gone from your inventory? How does that square? Maybe I didn't want to hand back the Bear detector, maybe I think Sid owed me that detector for wear and tear on my stuff!!

It is what it is I guess, Sid is a prick and that is true in every STALKER game.

But if I had a choice there is NO way I would have given him back that detector.....

Got it, thanks.

How do you use artifacts? I'm collecting artifacts for Sid and the first 2 I find look to be useful, and I should be able to use them before I return them over to Sid...right? But there is nothing to tell me how to use them as far as I can see.

I just finished my 3rd playthrough of Lost Alpha a few days ago, and in that one, you just put the artifacts on your belt, but in True Stalker, I can neither put them on my suit anywhere nor into my stash.

Nevermind, I found a way to do it!! Thanks, can't wait to try it!!

How do you download this? There are no files, and if I try the Google drive it just says cannot download "amount of downloads exceeded"?

Can't use Torrents, can't even put Torrent software on my PC because of other software installed

I hear it's awesome!! Is it going to be uploaded to MOD DB?

Not a major issue, but just a heads-up,

Arnie the trader in Pripyat, I sold him some suits and weapons when he first appeared, and I bought a Guass gun, now every time I try to sell him something OR even buy some ammo all I get is "The Stalker doesn't have enough money"??

I have almost 200,000 ru.... And he doesn't have a set amount, he has the trader --- for his ammount.

I don't really need anything from him as all my stuff is maxed out, but he had a cool Battlesuit Exo I was eyeball'n, and I can't buy it...

no biggie, just a heads up.

Got it!! Thanks man. I tried it a thousand times, I even tried to go to the top of the hill (way in the back behind the area) and tried to jump off the hill and into that paddock.

I ended up jumping up on the post where the 2 fences meet, and tight-rope walk the fence to the top, and then over.

PS: I wonder, can you not jump as high with an Exo suit on?

Quick question LB, did y'all change the fence that blocks you from getting to Nomads belongings??

I can't seem to find a place to jump the fence?? I don't seem to remember having an issue jumping it in my past playthroughs. there was always one area that I could easily jump over, but it seems to be gone

Did this area change?

I had a similar crash issue around the great metal factory/bar area, it turned out that I had messed with Tesselation? in the settings, and I just reset all my settings to default, then the default Ultra/High and haven't crashed since.

If you messed with any of the video settings then just reset them, which you probably already did by setting them to low, then you can try to reset them to the default high and see what happens.

good luck Stalker!

Yep, I already sold the XVirus tabs I had, I can't go back, I got another suit, upgraded it a bit, and am doing the radar now.

I don't think I need to go back to the Concrete Factory anyways so I hope that is the only level that is glitched.

I do need to go back to the Water dam though, I found a lot of good artifacts on that level and I need some data I missed there.

I'm just taking my time, and exploring on this playthrough, this is such a beautiful game on ultra detail I want to see everything. I have never been to the old road, I need to do that next.

Ahh, so the X-Antidote is the glitcher?? Weird....

Can I sell them and be done with the glitching? I'll get rid of those ASAP as they go for about 6000ru each, and I need to buy another suit anyway. No way am I giving up this Exo suit, I had to walk through 3 levels just to be able to run!!
