Was the most tense run in Stalker that I've had in a while.

Fucking RPK-74 and PKP are awesome, though.

>Why complete 2009/2012 is not vanilla 2.0
What does this even mean?
Does patch 1.0.6 count as 'complete 2009/2012'?

the fuck
Does apples count as oranges? Why would you randomly assume two completely different things with completely different names are the same thing

Is there any difference between Wound Healing and Health Restoration? CoP

Man i've got no idea on any of these terms, I just want the best first time stalker experience.
That's why I asked instead of assuming

It's a mod, which is pretty dang obvious if you actually read the thing you were looking at

Wound is bleeding

But it also seems to restore health

Any idea on how to get Call of Chernobyl working with Steam overlay?

Does a Vintorez compare to an SVD? I currently have an SVD and found a Vintorez. STCoP by the way

I'm basing this on SoC and CS experiences, but I like the VSS because it generally 1 shots things, has a faster RoF, full auto if needed, and soft recoil

the pit with the snorks where you get the case for snag provides protection.

too scurred???

>not knowing this shit

>psi storm
>rad fallout
>chem fallout
FYI all these don't stop until you find shelter (and stop immediately the moment you find shelter), it's from AF shitty implementation

not true.

maybe for psy storm actually(fuzzy memory), but both fallouts work as described

I had a nugget with 15 rounds, a half broken revolver, and a leather jacket. I'm not going to jump into a pit with a bunch of snorks.

Anyone got any good stories?They're my favourite parts of these threads.
I kinda have a collection going.

The VSS is lighter, has less recoil than the SVD, fires faster for quicker followup shots, but has insanely steep bullet drop thanks to the 9x39 round. The SVD will be more accurate and has less bullet drop, but is heavier, has lower handling stats, and fires slower.
The SVU-A would be the best compromise between the two since it combines the fire rate of the VSS, with the range and power of the SVD.

VSS is the best tho.

Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat work fine but SOC makes my laptop scream bloody murder. No game or other program causes my laptop to roar as does SOC. It can't be because my laptop is dirty and the fans are clogged as SOC was one of the first games I played when I first got this mid range laptop five years ago. Any tips?

>It can't be because my laptop is dirty and the fans are clogged

when did you clean that shit last??

>Any tips?
buy a better pc

are you playing in static lighting ? Check your FPS, especialy in menus. It's not uncommon to hit +500 fps even with shitty hardware, and it can kill your vidcard.

Xray shenanigans probably.

Intredasting. Will give those suggestions a go.

Where is the best place to hunt for atifacts in CS?
Also, the vendor merchandise randomization is fucking retarded
I go back to the freedom trader (who I joined, and we completely destroyed duty and have all that shit captured) and he has literally no guns
none
not a single one

I'm personally more of a VSK kind of guy, but I like the VSS too.

>Where is the best place to hunt for atifacts in CS?
anyone know?

Red Forest was pretty good, from what I recall. It's been a while for me, though.

And it's been a while, but I seem to remember the X-18 swamp area being pretty gud too.

>go into army warehouses as duty after getting some good gear
>intense firefight against the freedom shits squatting in the farmstead

That's what you get for joining Duty, fascist.

>new Survarium video comes out

>tfw pve is long dead and forgotten

comfiest base, any year etc

>playing suvarium

Fuck survarium. Fuck them.
You don't betray us for long.

I want to keep up on it to see if they will ever talk about pve
I don't play it

ahhh, fair enough.

load a hard save. You make those from time to time, right?

Did that, next quicksave the problem came back
From what I can tell, do I just need to create a trade_generic.ltx?

Do you overwrite your saves? You should delete your saves and then save. This include autosaves and quicksaves.

Is this going to fix my problem? Im not even sure what you mean

For instance let's say you quicksave and then quicksave again later, there is a chance the save can get corrupted. The correct way is to quicksave and then when you need to quicksave again later, you should delete the quicksave then you can use quicksave again.

no , just dont use quicksaves unless you have to

AS val is the superior all round weapon though, because of the scope situation and the CQC capabilities. unlike the SVD, SVU and VSS you're not stuck with a 6x scope for every encounter

First, yes I know Lost Alpha is terrible. That said, what is the music/sounds that plays over the radio? One particular bit coming from the part of game, with you infiltrating a faction to gain intelligence, sounded like some kind of propaganda, but I could never pin it down.

...

the thunderstorm really is what kills me, because the lightnings blinds you if you have nightvision and you can't see shit if you don't

Kinda beats the point of a "quick" save. Fucking Xray engine, worst and buggiest engine i swear to god.

No, the superior weapon is the akm-74/2, just make sure to bring ammo, 10000 should be enough if you intend to fight some bandits.

use flashlight

What's /sg/ waiting for these days?

MISERY 2.2. It's fucking April 26th, and they still haven't released the goddamn fucking new version.

it's going to be good, right?

which illuminates a total of 5 meters in front of you?
I would rather fight against 10 chimeras in the fog

>10,000

wut

no. it's miery, their devs do NOT listen to the users/players

Its a joke about the shitty accuracy and damage of the weapon.

yeah i guess i should have looked at who you were replying to

at least with the AKS you get a lightweight rifle with lightweight ammo that can be used pretty much anywhere if you know how to use it

There is no AKS in vanilla, and the AKS ammo isn't lightweight, do you mean the Ak74s? I think thats the vanilla rifle.

the stubby AK, and compared to other types of rifle ammo, 5.45 is one of the lighter

I hope the bitch gets raped. Fucking 'freedom'.

Just the kind of talk you can expect from a fucking Duty fascist.

Deadly anomalies, dangerous mutants, anarchists and bandits... None will stop Duty on its triumphant march towards saving the planet!

this is like calling a leaf a car because they are both green

It is Soviet propaganda, people talking how they love communism, etc.

Misery 2.2 could be cool if they've pulled their heads out of their asses this time.
Anything CoCk related

>Misery 2.2
I thought they were stopping at 2.1.1

miserymod.com/?p=2275

What? Are you serious?
The listen to their players all the time.

At least all the players that post nice things on their ModDB page.

>• NPCs vision capabilities at nights reduced significantly
>• All suits now have camouflage effect (no longer just Ghillie)
>• Stealth aspects are enhanced
>• NEW: Camouflaged weapons and helmets give stealth bonus (in addition to suits)
>• NEW: Heavy weapons and shiny firearms (gold/silver) give penalty to stealth

That's pretty hecking neato. Damn shame it's in such a hideous mod like Misery.

Maybe some day they will share their secrets and other otherwise decent mods get more cool features.

Why are shotguns so useless in STCOP or AO?

Because you're not upgrading them

also

Are there any mods that add weapons to SoC? Preferably something compatible with/based on AMK

Halp. I really want to play the damn thing but that's very fucking discouraging after having an hour downloading it.
