Look out for an updated version of the Misery Hotfix later on tonight.

By the way, it just goes to show the Misery team are a bunch of humourless bastards. I wrote a few stories for the Dialog Manager texts (the 'What's new in the Zone?' things) and this is one that was rejected by their 'language master':

Shoe Story

This wasn't considered appropriate :rolleyes:

Maybe next time I'll throw in a Better Nate than Lever variant.

Oh christ, that was beautiful. Do you have any more rejects?


Also, I seem to remember seeing a variant :ussr: except it was a stalker. Anyone have this saved?

I remember a goon testing out going as bare minimum as he could and getting 100% fire resistance. There wasn't any difference in how much damage he took. It'd be interesting if that was really just some sort of bug between a lot of people.

I tested that in the burnt farmstead. Goddamn, was I pissed at Misery at that point. And yeah, every other page in the bug thread had a mention of "fire is poo poo" until they fixed it.

Now it actually does something, but I just use a SEVA when I know a fire bit is coming up.

Whats the trouble? Do you have crashlogs? Are you trying to run on steam or a non-steam install?

Steam, did the regedit thing the OGSE 0.692 page said, and then crash upon starting. Warning message tells me something is wrong with a plugin, which one is unclear because there was a big long string of symbols cluttering the message. No crash log created. So I scrapped that plan.

Now I'm attempting to make OL 2 running, except the installation readme is also jumbled symbols. Not English, not Cyrillic, just Greek-y glossolalia. I used the version Swartz linked last page:

I realized why AA sounds so much more realistic than vanilla. Lots of sounds were taken from Battlefield Bad Company 2, which are far more on the realistic side of gunfire. No exaggerated booms for rifles and howitzers for handguns, no "pew pew" of silencers. No, we're talking sharp cracks and pops here.

So, how do stashes work in this game? Can I pick any footlocker or cooler and put stuff in it (like, will it be there later), or does it need to be one of the purple icon'd things that show up on the map?

e: playing SoC, first time player, etc.

The only "safe" stashes are the BLUE LOCKERS that specifically say "Open the box" and have nothing in them the first time you check. There's one INSIDE Sidorovich's bunker, one in Rostok Bar, another in the Yantar lavatory. Those are the only three I can think of off the top of my head.

Be careful - there are other blue lockers in settlements that say "Open the box." They have randomly regenerating items and may delete what you stick in there. Examples include the box by the campfire in Cordon village, the locker in the vehicle graveyard in Garbage, the expert's locker in the Wild Territory...

The rest are called "stashes" proper and you might get your stuff wiped out if you put it in an "undiscovered" stash, which then later gets marked in your PDA. Once you loot a stash, it is not used again and you can put whatever the hell you want in that location. Just remember where exactly it was or it's lost to the Zone :devil:

Speaking of stashes, is the box near Arnie in the Bar safe? I generally leave my things there because hey, the Bar is one of the few completely safe areas (if you don't piss off Duty) and it's convenient that it's literally across the street from 100 Rads.

That is specifically reserved for stuff you're not allowed to take into cage matches AKA your entire inventory at the time. End of fight, it's all there. Don't know what the chances of stuff getting deleted are.

Also, I love finding glitches and exploits in this game. Especially if they allow exploring inaccessible areas. I just wish I wasn't so loaded down with dead mercs' scalps loot and had to stop for breath every few yards.

Or artifacts which are modified regular items. Not necessarily useful, but still in line with the Zone. Or maybe add some things from Roadside Picnic. Find them in stashes, or throw them around as tiny bits of scenery most people overlook. Higher prices from Scientists.

"This utensil kit was found in a Burner anomaly. The spoon seems warm to the touch, always. Other than that, it doesn't do anything. 100 RU."

"A long, thin shard of metal which sparks if flexed. Interesting, but little else. 1000 RU."

"A small, coppery ring which doesn't fit on your finger. However, it can spin on a table for hours. 500 RU."

"A pad of what seems like steel wool, but is actually rubbery to the touch. No known uses, but someone might want to study it. 250 RU."

I could think of this poo poo forever.

Holy Bejesus Misery 2.1 is a mess.

The fixes they actually managed to fix in 2.0.2? Over half of them are not implemented. My anabiotic fix, which supposedly was incorporated, hasn't been. Over half the fixes from the Unofficial Patch that they say were incorporated... surprise, surprise haven't been. There's a bug that caused crashing if you tried to loot a mutant that was in 2.1's beta that has been fixed, but not included in 2.1

I guess the guys making this are looking to get into game development, but with a QA track record like this the only place willing to offer them a job might be Bethesda.

So the 1.1 gb file I downloaded isn't worth installing yet?

CoP used to stutter a lot for me even on lowest settings. Good fps but every 15 seconds it freezes for a fraction of a second.
I used to think that it's because of my lovely CPU but I just upgraded my computer but the game still stutters in the same way.
Is it something specific to stalker games? I can't find any solution for that.

My current rig is i5-4670K CPU, 4GB DDR3 Ram, GeForce 560GTX. I can play pretty much anything on max settings but Stalker just doesn't want to stop stuttering.

video capabilites? I find that running 2.3gHz will give me optimal performance on "low."

Also, just occurred to me; Do "flatness" upgrades for weapons improve damage as well or is that misremembering something? I figured it's boosting bullet velocity, should probably improve damage a bit so...am I wrong?

As far as I can remember, it just means the round becomes more accurate at longer ranges - you don't have to gently caress with aiming above the target as much. Kinda like below. Maybe they modify the rifling :confused:
