You have to low crouch and peek around the corner, just fiddle around and you will get it.
He's already found it.

I never asked for this!
After taking a few minutes to actually learn what the hell buttons did, I started to understand the appeal
The atmosphere is very nice. I particularly like those giant pigwolves in the swamp. Weird glowing eyes and no sound when they move so when one darts across your path into tall grass you're like "oh shit fuck god damn"
The pace takes a bit of getting used to especially if you've been playing other first person shooters recently, but I can certainly see myself playing this for a while
The only problems I really have are the accuracy (need to apply that mod) and the quickload. Should be called longload. Because it takes forever

Are you talking about loading a quick save or are you talking about weapons?
I meant his red line on the map but yeah.
The maps are pretty crazy off too. Shitty russian gps... Realism!
The good doctor was very helpful over steam though.
Man you just wait. Wait till you run into bloodsuckers, or if you play the first one, when you go into lab x16. There will be poop in your pants.
Actual poop!
I needed to take breaks in x16 so I could have some calming tea before getting back at it.
Loading a quicksave
It saves quick at least

The menu music sucks my nuts, and although 50kgs was pretty tough, 999kgs is way too lame.
Anyone know how to change these? Please? I'll share my last loaf of bread with you ...:P
Shotgun ammo weighs a lot FYI. Its easy to keep it down if you go through your inventory carefully.
I installed an accuracy and AP/bullet velocity realism mod that tones it down from the OL accuracy mod (in my opinion, OL accuracy mod is just waaaaay too easy). The guns shoot great, but damn this menu music and 999kgs - I didn't ask for that shit.
This is just my experience from playing SoC, but 50 kg can be enough if you plan ahead. Either bring a ton of ammo for your main weapon (which is probably an assault rifle) or bring a weapon that the enemies usually have ammo for. I had a tough time with a couple of the later sections in the game because I simply dove into them without adequately resupplying. If Clear Sky is anything like SoC, then having to plan enough to either bring a ton of the right ammo or the right gun for the ammo available makes for a much more intense and harrowing experience.
As far as removing the mod, if Clear Sky works the same way as SoC when it comes to mods then you should be able to simply delete the gamedata folder in the Clear Sky directory. However, make sure this is what you should do before you do it! I don't want to get blamed for your game getting ruined. I don't even know if Clear Sky uses gamedata folders for mods, but maybe that'll get you going down the right track.
If that OL accuracy mod increases only accuracy, I could see how that would make the game way too easy. The additional damage boost for OL gets me killed all the time by weapons that would hardly make me bleed in vanilla SoC. And 999 kg weight limit? That's just retarded. 50 kgs is already a lot of weight for a single person to carry around on their own, but it's enough to force you to make hard decisions and play smart. Take extra grenades or a lightweight sniper rifle? More artifacts or more health items? Two rifles with ammo or one rifle with ammo and an extra suit? The whole aspect of choosing the right tools for the job is part of what makes the survivor aspect of this game so immersive.
Wish I could trust my system to play Clear Sky, but it already has a really tough time keeping SoC playable. Every time I look in the same direction that wind blows I end up playing a slideshow.
Even on the static lighting DX8 renderer? With everything turned down? o_O
If so, you're sporting some impressively ancient hardware there.
Alternatively you can just edit your own values in if you want a certain value. max_weight in system.ltx is the value you start losing stamina rapidly when you move, and max_walk_weight in actor.ltx is your absolute maximum movement weight.
Intro music is gamedata\sounds\music\wasteland2.ogg
I don't think I'd want to play STALKER without the lightning.
Wtffff
Has Clear Sky been optimised at all? Would I be able to run it fine if I could run the first game okay?
Oh it's such a nice day, I think I'll go out the window! Whoa!
Actually, it's not so much "ancient" as it is "a laptop sporting a fancy (lousy) integrated video card". It was never intended to run anything from the last couple of years, so I was extremely surprised to get this to run at all. As buggy as this game is, it's actually the only game in recent memory that reeeally makes me want to put together a new gaming rig, but I simply do not have the cash to spare right now.
I don't even want to know what sort of horrible digital karma I am accruing for getting SoC to work okay. I'll probably end up walking out of my front door someday and step on a temporal mine from World War XI.
The screen goes black and the game stops working after
I'm gonna try disabling mods again.
Sounds like your character has been spontaneous struck blind and deaf, believe it or not it’s actual a common aliment in the zone, it's usually caused by extreme psychological stress or watching two controllers mate…sometimes the combination of the two.

I assume this is related to the arena fight somehow? Can I get my stuff back?
Sidorovich's door won't open for me in Clear Sky, and I'm milling about in the Dark Valley with no clues to the plot.
Dunno.... Try throwing a grenade at his door from the top of the staircase. I think thats what people used to do in vanilla STALKER although I haven't heard of that problem in Clear Sky.
In a related story, Clear Sky slowly lets faction wars go by the wayside the further in you get, but the atmosphere just spikes right around Yantar. I stopped after Agroprom, started the next day and played straight on through to the Army Warehouses in one sitting. Even unmodded and broken, this game is compelling. :^:

I managed to shoot it open after switching areas.
Another question: the soldier commander in the Cordon finally said where his stash was, but the coordinates aren't uploaded onto my PDA. Sidorovich is demanding the stash, but I have no clue where it is.
No, it's
At least that's where it was for me.
That's how I've been playing the game.
I eventually said fuck it and went back into the Swamps and went through the farther north Cordon-Swamp pass. Fighting through a couple of Loners blockading a tunnel was alot easier than that machine gun shit.
I never asked for this!
After about the 30th reload I gave up.
I've been carrying two spare rockets around for... I don't even remember how long. I was beginning to lose hope one would ever appear. And then, poof. Stash near the tank in the army warehouses. Primed with a fresh rocket and ready to put a hole in something big.
I don't even care that I just had to chew through fifteen or so Spetsnaz to get it, or that the primary quest tracker has been locked on Meet Lefty for a while, or that I had to double-back into the warehouses at the onset of a blowout because it consistently caused a crash in Red Forest. With just the right placement of one big weapon, Clear Sky has made me the happiest guy in the world
And now to find a nice, big group of uncooperative stalkers to try it on.

From what I hear, you want to save it for some helicopter.
I'm in Lemansk now and I have a heavy machine gun and a grenade launcher and a rocket launcher and a sniper rifle and I have to drop something sweet jesus what am I supposed to do with all this firepower
I can't possibly carry all this stuff around with me
or can I

Where?
Was it in that box which you can cut open with a knife?
I basically hid upstairs and threw grenades until it died. Running out of ammo is just not a good idea. What the hell was that thing?
