Stalker CS patch 1.5.07 out

[MichaelD]

Straight from the source.

Here is the latest Patch for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky. There is a download for the digital version and the retail version. This update doesn?t have any compatibility problems with the previous patches 1.5.06 ,1.5.05 and 1.5.04.

I'm DLing it now and will apply it. I'm not having any issues with my current patch level 1.5.05 but why not load this up and see what happens.

How are the faction wars these days? Fully functional?

Good question; but I don't know, sorry. I still haven't tried any of the faction wars b/c I still haven't beat the game. Stupid NPP level has me stuck.

I manage to reach a certain city, during a very black night and then the rain starts and the horrid stutters begin. And so I'm waiting for the rain to stop and to regain my fps, but this stupid darkness and the 1000 zones of radiation, just doesn't let me exit this stupid city. This is with the latest patch ( before the one you posted here )
What I'm trying to say, is that ,exactly like the first Stalker, the game is so totally chocked by bugs and it makes you abandon it after a while, even if there are patches after patches released. At least this happened to me.

My saved games work and I haven't seen anything weird so far. Being that I was on the level I can't get past (the last level, NPP) I just started a new game. I really like this game so the replay value is high for me. Besides, with each new game you know what weapons and armor to tweak the most.

The patch did reset all my graphics settings to the defaults, but a few clicks and a restart the game later, all was well.

ERROR8: Are you overclocking your video card? Stutters and tearing are signs of an overheating card. What are your card temps like?

Yeah, I'm overclocking the hell out of her. :laugh: My temps are fine, bellow 60C under load and the card is rock solid. The game is the problem. Every time it starts raining, I get either screen corruption or terrible slowdowns and this among other bugs. It's annoying! I think I'll wait a couple of months, since I have BIA, Fallout 3 and Dead Space to play and no time at all. So maybe, Stalker will turn out friendly, after all with some new drivers and patches.

I too get flashing triangles and other weirdness sometimes when it rains. It looks like a symptom of overclocking ( i really dont want to use the word artifact in a thread about stalker ) except i have not overclocked my card yet.

Up untill last friday i had been playing on a 8800GTS 640 and had no problems, but friday i upgraded to a GTX 280 and it has happened twice now, usually in Red Forest. I have been monitoring temps and even when i get artifacting (dammit said it now) the temps are around 81-82'c

I used to have a similar problem with SoC and my 7800, but that went away when i upgraded to the 8800.

Im not sure where the problem lies, but it seems to be with this game only, but maybe thats because this game demands more from the GPU than most others.

I haven't' played since 1.5.04

I really think (like with the first) that with the atmosphere this could be one of my favorite games.

But with all the bugs, I just couldn't bear to play it anymore and destroy the dream. So waiting it out for patches and community effors to make it the game I hope it can be.

Is this the one that makes it fun.

What was the hurry? They just released 1.5.06 a week ago.
