e2: The reason I couldn't post in the last thread is that for some reason the library pinpointed that one thread out of all on the SA forums as "Pornographic".

I blame those sexy snorks.

Truly the zone is a mystery.

Anyways, this is an odd question, but how do I change the name saves are saved as? Like how it says "game saved - <your name> quicksave"? I figured it used the computer's name, but I changed mine a while back and it still saves under the old name.

Ok, so it turns out the ShoC keylogger, which I've been trying to make work with the Steam version, actually does work, except you seemingly have to launch the executable directly and not through steam itself :smith:

Well, then add the .exe as a non Steam game, that should work.

I beg to differ, CoP is a ton different than SoC. One of the things I love about CS is how it bridged some proto-CoP mechanics to SoC's world. A fitting step in the evolution to CoP.

The detail is really stunning in LA. Too bad I can't play it on highish settings even though CS and COP I can max out. Not sure what could be causing the low FPS except for the vegetation. Everything else is SOC levels of detail (in the models I mean) so the hit is a bit strange.

Too bad I can't rebind the quicksave key apparently and when I exited the game it just hung and I had to restart my PC since I couldn't see the task manager while the game was still running.

It will be nice when bugs like these get ironed out so I can play the game properly.

I heard low FPS can be fixed by turning grass density to 70%-ish and disabling grass shadow. I have no FPS problems at maximum minus the grass and sun rays/ssao set to low. No AA either, just FXAA through nVidia control panel. Running a 780 here.

The tip I mentioned in my previous post? The same guy who provided it also says you can safely walk by the military checkpoints in Cordon as long as you stay on the road and don't be a dick. A few dozen rounds of AK-74 to the face suggests he might be wrong.

In that guys defense, there is a second checkpoint you are supposed to just stroll through unarmed. Its the checkpoint where Loners and Bandits fought right before the Garbage entrance in the original SoC.

Edit: Ha, the computer in the Bar can play the bad C-Consciousness ending of SoC.

Holy gently caress this game is amazing. I mean even as buggy as it is, the amount of new content is astounding. Absolutely loving the fact that "shoot your way through this problem" isn't the solution for most of the quests.

Time to read Zinn posted:

The question on my mind playing this will be if Lost Alpha makes a suitable "instead of" for SoC.

It feels like it would be, but they are very different games. The general objective is the same: Go to Wolf, get his guy with the flash drive, go north to Garbage, help Bes, help Seriy, go to Agroprom, etc... but the journey is very different. For example, Bes's quest is not even remotely the same. Everything is a ton more fleshed out. Also for example, the documents you get at the military base have a purpose other than "quest item for Barkeep". It feels like a lot of unexplained areas and quests have purpose now.

I started up LA and none of my keybind changes are actually taking place. Hitting the quicksave button made it say it was quicksaving but it didn't do anything. Running the game as an administrator let me save my game, but all of the saves (even the one the game makes when a fresh game starts) just CTD. :sigh:

The Military has taken control on most of the outposts and gates, they secure the Zone, just like how it would be in reality (for example, they guard the entrance of Garbage from Cordon, The Bar level from Garbage, and they also occupied the former Dark Valley bandit base and the Army Warehouses freedom base etc.

I don't know how I feel about this, particularly guarding the Bar and Army Warehouse. Bar is Duty/Neutral territory and fairly deep in the Zone, and the military losing the Warehouses was a major Freedom plot point from CS. Army guarding the perimeter of the Zone is ok, but an established presence deeper inside the Zone is odd.
