Just bought all three games, currently installing them. Is there anything I should know before I head in? Should I start with SoC or jump straight into the sequels? Are there any starting pitfalls that could ruin my experience? Bug fixes, mods, etc I should download beforehand? I'd prefer my first playthrough to be completely blind but at the same time I'm not too keen on possibly losing a 30+ hour playthrough to a game-breaking bug that could've been easily avoided.
0bde7b No.14158483

Start with SoC, you can skip Clear Sky, but with bug fix patches its not so bad, then play CoP
Try vanilla first with the unofficial bug fix patches
Always play on Master Difficulty, it makes both you and the enemies less of damage sponges, so you don't need to spend a ton of ammo to dispatch a bandit squad while you also die fast if you are not careful, making you learn the game the painful, but quicker way.

Start with SoC, then play Clear Sky but if it starts to get tedious for you just skip it, CS is the weakest game in the series, but some people like it. Finish up with CoP, and when you're done with that install Call of Chernobyl for ultimate stalkan. As for mods, use Zone Reclamation Project or similar bug fix mods, under no fucking circumstance use the Complete mod, its shit, and only redditors play it.

1. Shadow of Chernobyl with either patch 1.0005 or 1.0006 and the Zone Reclamation Project (ZRP) http://www.metacognix.com/files/stlkrsoc/. Optionally add PhotoRealisicZone 2 if you're a graphics whore but it's 100% unnecessary http://www.moddb.com/mods/photo-realistic-zone-2.
2. Clear Sky with whatever the last patch was and Sky Reclamation Project http://www.moddb.com/mods/srp. The game isn't as bad as everyone says but if you start hating it towards the end feel free to skip to CoP.
3. Call of Pripyat, vanilla is fine but you might want a native voices pack (though the English VA is so bad you should experience it once).
I actually have this saved in a .txt file.
948b8e No.14158815
>>14158809
I've also got this saved:
Shadow of Chernobyl mods
1: AMK 1.4 or AMK Autumn for a /k/ommando that wants to replay SoC. There's a tweak pack for AMK Autumn in the repos that makes it even more /k/ommandoish.
2: Autumn Aurora 2 if you want more polish and a little less hardcore than AMK note: AMK Autumn combines AA2 and AMK.
3: Lurk if you want gunporn to the point of annoyance and more consistent stealth mechanics, 1.1 vs 1.05 is skub but 1.05 is less bloated in my opinion though I never had a problem stealthing in vanilla SoC.
4: Priobi Story if you want SoC with a new story and some other new shit but it's a little dated by modern Stalker mod standards. I think there might be a re-release to deal with its age, check moddb, /sg/ or hope another anon ITT will know.
5: Lost Alpha or Oblivion Lost for cut content and crazy shit, less polished than even vanilla though.
6: Doom's Mod Merge for freeplay but Call of Chernobyl does it better nowadays.
Clear Sky mods
1: The Faction War for a sort of freeplay constant war without the story, warfare for CoC is similar but harder to understand.
2: OGSM for cut content, mostly. Plays similarly to vanilla from what I remember but I haven't touched CS in years.
3: Arsenal Overhaul + Sky Reclamation Project (see the repo), adds a bunch more guns and bugfixes but does make the economy a bit easier.
Call of Pripyat mods
1: Call of Chernobyl sticks all three games' maps together and lets you start as any faction. I'd suggest adding the following mods to it for a /k/ommando experience: STCoP (and the tweak I'll link) + DoctorX's questlines + Outfit Overhaul + Chernobyl Relay Chat if it ever gets fixed. Do not worry, it's actually really easy to install everything I just listed. You can add more to these as you want later. Press Z on the new game screen to start as a Zombie if you want.
2: Swartz Mod for vanilla + more guns and the game bitching at you for Radiation.
3: Misery + an unfucker mod + some config file editing to make it bearable if you want an artificially hardcore experience, personally I don't like it and I think Call of Misery (Misery in Call of Chernobyl) does everything better though I'm still not a fan.
4: Redux 1.0 for a slightly harder vanilla-esque experience. Wormwood/Redux 2.0 is on hold but if it's ever finished it'll probably be CoP's AMK. Old versions of Misery are similar. Early Misery and Redux 1.0 are both a bit dated since they predate proper mod tools. I can't remember if Redux comes with Atmosfear 3 but if not install it too.
5: Massive Simulation Overhaul is an older mod that I think improves the AI though I'll admit I don't play much non-CoC CoP and my memory is hazy. You'll also want Atmosfear 3 for improved graphics since MSO doesn't come with it (most of the other mods here do).
6: Sigerous (SGM) adds a bunch more content to the vanilla storyline including maps from the previous two games. Quality of the new content varies heavily.
7: Valley of Whispers is apparently ok if you just want a little bit more content, I haven't tried it yet personally.
8: Shoker or Aresnal Overhaul 3.1 to only add new guns to vanilla CoP. Shoker will need you to download Atmosfear 3, AO3.1 comes with it.
9: Wind of Time for a new story, new guns, better graphics etc.

Spawns are okay, if a unique npc (most notably the commanders of the rostok checkpoints) dies he doesn't respawn apparently. Also set online exclusion radius to maximum unless you want to be spawnkilled. Might happen anyway if you're unlucky so keep autosaves on, happens very often when entering Agroprom Underground since it's crawling with Bandits.
Both pripyat levels are seperate and anomaly/radiation placement is left vanilla. Map layouts are mostly left vanilla apart from several smaller details. Clear Sky base is now physically connected to the Great Swamp and the minefield in Jupiter has been removed for gameplay reasons (level change is on the other side of it and requires walking though). Also Jupiter Station only populated by Freedom now since Devs couldn't get the ceasefire working Degtyarev sided with them in the CoC timeline.

>Battle-hardened veterans who are so good at killing, organisations fucking pay them rather than sending average grunts since they know the Mercs are simply superior and get the job done without caring about muh morals.
Western governments and corporations pay them because they won't ask questions, have no principles and nobody will be able to link them to anyone if they die. Skill beyond 'can shoot gun vaguely well' doesn't factor into it.

It's a meat grinder. You have Mercs, Monolith, Duty, Freedom, Bandits and Loners all running around and getting into firefights in an area with horrible visibility and on top of that there seems to be an abnormal amount of mutants - nasty ones, too.

Finally said fuck it and installed the 1.5r6 Beta and deleted all of my 1.4 stuff, so there's no going back.
Getting addons to work is a bitch since the first round the game didn't even start up.
I just hope we get a full release at the start of February otherwise it's going to be a long time of suffering ahead, for me anyway.

Alright so here's a list of addons I got working atleast for the moment if anyone cares:
Arsenal Overhaul 3.1 for 1.5 R6
Absolute Nature+Structures
Lost to the Zone + Living Legend
Stalker Tweaks
Female Ecologist (seemed interesting to try)
Corpse Loot Money
Warfighter
Scorch the Scorchers
And that's all at the moment. There's apparently a unofficial Doctor X Dynamic Faction Relations for the version but everytime I tried to use it the game would crash on startup. Smurf's Dynamic Hud apparently has a small patch to work with the Beta 1.5 but that too failed for me. Maybe anyone else who lacks the patience for full release can give it a go, but the list I have worked without any major issues.

Welp, should i just go back towards that fucking meatgrinder or enter the Jupiter underground instead? I still have enough shotgun ammo for mutants
Also some Mercenaries suddenly started going aggro on me, im playing as Ecologist, is it because my rank (Master) is high and i "made enemies"? so i have a price on my head or something? My reputation is very good (Excellent i think).

I've never heard of it but it might depend whereabouts you are. Try visiting the ecologists and seeing if that helps. If you're on 1.5 remember it's not a finished version so it might well be a bug, if so go tell them about it so they can look into it.

It's normal, considering you have no good weapons before looting those bandits. Make sure to scout the place and keep track of where every enemy is, paying attention to the sound helps with that immensely. Also, there is a stash with good early game gear hidden in the village, you can try searching for it to give yourself an edge against bandits.
Once you get an SMG or an AK along with some basic armor things will get much easier.

I'm on 1.4…deleted everything and reunzipped and restarted all of it. Arsenal overhaul again.
Started a clear sky char this time…managed to get an echo detector from a trader…found a few other echo detectors…and yeah that's it.
Done about six hours or so and still can't find squat. I've tried a few anomaly fields and all the echo did was beep when near an anomaly…no artifacts yet…no other detectors yet…
Found a night star artifact in a stash…same way I found the echo detectors. This seems abnormal as hell…I've play SOC and CoP and never had this level of rotten luck. Haven't seen anything better than an echo yet either.
Maybe I've just awful luck…but shouldn't I at least find a better detector on a corpse or something? Is the echo even working or does it only locate anomalies when no artifacts are present???
Maybe it's just me but this shit seems broken. Mind you I'm still having some fun but I'm feeling this is not a proper experience…

Probably asking the wrong person, but I assume its a mixture of the base game's slav code,the even slavic mods added on top and then the smaller mods on top of major mods.
This being said, I rarely get any glitches like this but get plenty of silly nonsense(that either fits the zone or doesn't, take your pick). I guess people just have a skill for getting really stupid glitches, either by looking for them on purpose or just by complete "luck"

Hmmm, I might be projecting my own experience here so feel free to correct me if I'm painting with a broad brush.

Also a slight chance of discovering that everything you knew is a lie which may result in extreme anger, depression, and chronic desire to get /fit/

Anisotropic filtering does exactly that.
Any of the various breeds of supersampling anti aliasing also do it but it's not something anti aliasing does in general.
Unless you have an integrated gpu or a dx10 gpu just max out anisotropic filtering, it has been done in separate dedicated hardware within the GPU for a long time so if you disable anisotropic filtering you won't see a fps gain because you weren't losing anything.

If you like the SKS go pick up a G3A3 or a G3 if you like the wooden furniture.
I went through the last section of CS with it fully upgraded and dropped everyone and everything with 1 or 2 rounds. The recoil and accuracy upgrades coupled with an ACOG makes it more or less a G3SG/1 with the recoil of a 5.56 rifle and the ability to go full auto. Plus it's a sexy rifle
I've always heard people bitch about the last section of CS for being hard but the G3 made it ridiculously easy. Now I'm just saving up on cash to switch out my AK74m in CoP worth the G3 from Nimble, or killing someone with a G3 and repairing it, whichever comes first.

I was wondering that myself a couple of weeks back, so I bit the bullet and went for 1.5 R6 and I gotta say, it really gave a facelift to what 1.4.22 did, performance and gameplay wise.
However, only downside is that there aren't too many mods for it YET and that R7 is right around the corner and possibly gearing up towards final release (heard that R7 was the last before the full 1.5 release, but don't quote me on that.) It's still fun and all the improvements really give CoC new life. Can't wait for the full 1.5 NEVER EVER
>Is it unstable?
It's actually much more solid than 1.4.22 and for what you'd expect for a beta.
>It's kind of bothering me they're taking so long.
They don't have the manpower for it and they're doing it for free so these things tend to take time. But like I said; R7 soon and maybe a full release soon after that.

The beta works fine, but alot of addons are waiting for full release before updating their mods, meaning alot of the good ones like DoctorX's shit, the gun packs, some huds and other things are only available for 1.4.

Not if you're taking them to a mechanic, you're better off buying of finding a repair kit and doing all the repairs yourself.

I don't see someone can replicate that feeling of uncertainty even if it came from bugs.
The return of STALKER is going to be some clinical super polished game that will be fun but will have no unique greentext stories and experiences like we have now.

The campfires destroy the fps and stutter the game. Anyone found any remedy to that?

If they achieved balance between surviving/combat and the seamless world with npcs carrying on without your input it would have plenty of story opportunity.

Not sure if it applies to CoC, but:
Setting the "Flip queue size" (AMD) / "Max pre-rendered frames" (NVIDIA) to 1, in either RadeonPro or the Nvidia control panel seemed to solve the issue in SoC; I began using the fix when playing SoC, and applied it since.
Also, you might want to consider patching the executable if you are encountering "Out of Memory" crashes:

In addition, adding the -noprefetch parameter to the game shortcut helped reduce the stuttering for me.

I'm playing Clear Sky with AtmosFear, what faction should I ally myself with in my first playthrough. I'm tempted to join Duty.

God, do I love it when a mod makes the Gauss completely gamebreaking. Playing OLR right now, the Gauss is absolutely ridiculous. One time it launched a guy like 200m into the air.

Do Clear Sky first since it's the most pivotal to the game, try other factions in other runs.

Something isn't right here.
Also found a Merc sniper at the roof of that lone house on the plaza shooting the wall, while trying to kill bandits on the ground. Both he and the now dead bandits behind him were completely oblivious of each others existance.

>Step 2. Improved Memory Allocation

>It is common place amongst the STALKER community to use the launch parameter "-noprefetch". This has been known to correct problems with the pre-existing prefetching system that loads files to be used onto the RAM. The problem is that it doesn't work very well and 'noprefetch' is used to fix this up. The best bit is that it is confirmed to improve performance, reduce stuttering and also reduce the amount of memory error related crashes.
It supposedly disables precaching certain game files to RAM upon loading a saved game, should result in shorter loading times atleast. For me CoP with refused to run at all with this parameter set, CoC works fine.
