<mods plz remove links, if inappropriate>

User Comments suggest that it is the legit E3 demo.


I find this demo a great improvement over the original stalker gfx. the depth of field effect is nice.
Dont worry, its a legitimate E3 demo. I assure all its a good download! Great preview into the new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. GAME

:D

Appearantly the Pre-Alpha plays extremely well, with high frame rates and excellent quality on a wide range of, even the most basic, systems(say cheese:D:D:D). If the hype wasn't enough, this leak may prove an excellent PR weapon for the game's creators since it seems to be carrying out the job of a good demo.

I got the crash too, it started with heavy duty graphics, the demo lagged, so I reduce the effects, saved and restarted and it crashed.

^^I deleted the _appdata_ folder (containing user.ltx) that is created alongwith the main folder (S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky) when u try to save other graphics setting. May be this will work for you too.

Now it ran fine :), but my gfx card is too weak to run at max. So am trying to tweak user.ltx (inside the main folder). The game looks much better and nice gameplay too, monsters are reworked and AI is better too. But damn lag makes me opt god mode to play thorugh.

Demo is buggy too, it crashed last time I was drilling hole in mutated boars :D

@Stalker: One question,why are you running the game at 1024x768? If it's the 8800GTX that you have then you should throttle the resolution higher.Or is the game way too demading on higher resolutions? :confused:

About time I am getting my 8800GT.Hopefully it manages this game @1280x1024.Haven't tried out the first S.T.A.L.K.E.R but will do soon.Looks sweet in the screenies.:D

Stalker
21-05-2008, 11:25 AM
^^Thats coz i have a crappy 17" monitor. I can run the game at a res of 1280x1024, but the refresh rate will be stuck at 60Hz.

getting a 22" Dell E228WFP Soon :D

@T159
ya, the game crashed when i killed the Boar as well

Ethan_Hunt
21-05-2008, 12:38 PM
^Exactly I thought so too.No wonder you had shifted the resolution down.At 60Hz it would look very fuzzy.BTW how big is the demo?

I even deleted the whole game and reinstalled but not able to run:x
What should i do now:confused:

The game is 391 MB (rar file)
After installing itz 760 MB:D

^^can u post the screenie of the directory where u installed extracted the main folder ?

Supposedly the graphics tinkering is not allowed in game coz this is not the whole isntallation and there are no registry entries created.

The demo was for E3 and meant to be played at highest settings.

@T159
ya, the game crashed when i killed the Boar as well

I will post screenies later (NU plan:D)

The only NPC who 'talks' :p

There isnt much in the demo, just taking over the Watchtower. Anyway, this was supposed to be an Engine demo. The dynamic day / night cycle looks really good. Be sure to press '*' ingame.

But is a DX10 demo ? :confused:

Did you delete the '_appdata_' folder?
Try extracting and installing at a different location.

And I talked with more than one NPCs, but they everything was written in russian...lol

And now am going for the complete exploration of the level and will tell ya if i see the Herculean Bloodsucker :D

We can also fast forward the time in original stalker version 1.0001 but then when the patch were released it was disabled.

Nice to see "*" fast forward

@allywndlima
AA was Maxed ( i think)

@ T159,
No, i meant that NPC actually talks in English. HE tells you to follow someone to the Watchtower and Capture it.
I think he stands behind the house in your 3rd last pic

and....

the Herculean Bloodsucker :confused:

21-05-2008, 07:30 PM
I have explored most part of the map, though didnt find any other mutant, not even an attenuated bloodsucker :(

The Weapons u can get are:
AKM 72
Obokan
Tundar (yay u heard it right, some Bandits enjoy Tundar too)
Sniper SVM

Mutants:
Wild Boars

Factions:
Clear Sky (The ones in Blue)
Bandits

And guess what I heard one talking in russian, aruju ubrau (hehehe this is when u point ur gun towards them) and some other phrases too.

There is one spawn point where the bandits respwan in pair of 5 once the previous wave is killed completely. I massacred there:D

Dont try to run credits, the game will crash.

There were no objectives for me, I cleared the tower then some guys from clear sky came over the tower,

Then I cleared bandits at church and then again some guys drifted to the church..

Herculean bloodsucker is one who picks u up and throws the prey far away before sucking the blood.

more screenies :D
