Just the reason I needed to give Stalker another chance.
Engine optimization, which resulted in FPS 10-15 gain.
Wow thats pretty sick.
Offtopic thought this new post would finally be a Bioshock release
, I wonder whats happening.
bioshock is releasing tomorrow (24 august) on europe and australia, maybe the supply line was REALLY safe and nobody hit it.
But i seriously doubt it.
We’ll have to wait.

…
sounds like an awesome patch!
You guys mean BioShock for 360? It’s already out, like 2 weeks ago … Leaked by Toys’R'Us.
@ 6.
I meant I was wondering when the PC version will be cracked, was released on Monday in the states.
The activation protection in Bioshock is rather annoying, first you have to dl the exe, then after you have to send in your serial key to the activation server and then it unlocks your game… might take them a while but i bought it anyways. The game is worth it.
An insignificant update to a mediocre game… great post.
Meanwhile Bioshock has been out for 3 days, and still no post about it. Good job !
Nebula, go fuck yourself.
Why make a post about a game that isn’t cracked yet? Don’t worry little baby, someone will give you a fucking bottle soon enough.
I don’t see what’s insignificant about this update – looks pretty massive to me, nor mediocre about the game – Stalker is a freaking awesome game… where that comment came from, Nebula, must be a place only you live in.
@nebula LOL why do you seem to think that rlslog decides when a game/movie/app etc gets released? Your comment about there being no post for bioshock yet just shows your extreme niavity. rlslog doesnt tell groups to release something, we jsut inform on what has been released. There hasnt been a post about bioshock because there has been no release of bioshock on the pc yet. Simple.
Also what you recieve from the scene is a privilige not a right like you seem to think it is. Bioshock might be released tommorow or in a years time. If you want to play it so much go buy it.

Staff Edit: I will leave these links to Bioshock, but i would advise against downoading it as you wont be able to play the game until a working crack or work around is found. At the moment downloading any Bioshock release/links you find on the internet will result in you have 7 GB’s less space on your hard drive and no game to play. BTW talking about Bioshock is Off topic, please keep on topic from now on.
Finally, some bug fixes with Stalker. Hopefully this will make the game run better with vista(ie. no more crashes!!) As for anyone saying Stalker is lame or something, if I were giving out the Game of the Year award, it would go directly to Stalker, with no hesitation. I bought Bioshock yesterday and am about 5 hours into it now, excellent game, but the Unreal 3 engine does not even compare to the X-Ray engine used in Stalker. Bioshock does look pretty in DX10, but the gameplay in no way matches the perfection that is Stalker’s combat.
WOW – excellent update for an excellent game – it now goes like a missile on my rig and has rekindled my interest in this great game!
woohoo
now where’s my stalker disc at
Great game, absolutely bollocks ending. Only patch they needed was a whole new ending.
@MorningStar
There’s about 7 different endings in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. If you play greedy it will end you “wanting to be rich” and die (like I did), and so on.
#Engine optimization, which resulted in FPS 10-15 gain.
Yep, nice patch indeed
Does anyone have a keygen for this game that will let you play Multiplayer (online), or does this patch do the trick?
Awesome patchiness.
Yeah, the secret endings are cool, there is one where you have a final battle on top and around the reactor.
What does STALKER have? Double-crouch, Q/E lean, more precise aim, etc, etc…in an FPS its all about control.
The controls in Bioshock leave me feeling empty and that just sux.
Both games are amazing, but GOTY will go to Halo 3 or Crysis.
Here is a steam version of bioshock with a special activation thingy and 3 gigs smaller than the clones that are kicking about.

M®.E
i have it, its a fake.
it’s not FPS 10-15 gain, but 10-15% gain.
Why diden’t they fix the savegames compablility? I really want to continue play thru the story..
STALKERS was such a sucky game. It tried so hard to be Fallout 3, but in the end it was just a standard 3D shooter. Many options the designers claimed would be in the game (like a car with a trunk you could use as a stash) weren’t in the final version at all. Hyped? Yes. Worth the hype? No. Too buggy and too standard. It it would have come out years ago (like it should) it would have been a great game, now it wasn’t.
And now, after the game has been out for months comes a patch that fixes some major issues. Nice going devs, good luck in finding a new job soon.
And to the pussies whining about Bioshock: buy it.
@26 S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was never meant to be like a Fallout 3, it was created to be a standard FPS with some RPG elements. It’s a great game and far from standards. Plus, instead of giving devs some credit that they still release patches, you nail them. For sakes, get real.
Yapp, I was waiting for this nice patch, thanks for the info
The game is great and definately worth buying, unfortunately, THQ doesn’t especially care about players and sucks in releasing updates and fixing major issues in the game.

@hv, #19: I realise there were multiple endings. However, it doesn’t tell you of this, and I also got the ‘greedy’ ending, as i’m sure 95% of the people who completed it did, as you had no idea you’d get some bull shit ending if you just saved money. I watched all the ending videos too, nothing much better.
i didn’t noted any optimization, indeed the memory usage has increased, now in 1024×768 all max, no aa, and no aniso, i have a 1,7gb load in my ram! that’s a lot of memory i need to say.
Re: the different endings, you guys know there are 2 “real” endings if you go through the secret door, right? (which you can get regardless of how you’ve played the game)
I adds some play time to the game also.

@35 Gonna check that out! :p
To all of you guys with mods installed in the version 1.0003 (like Faiakes mod) you are all wellcome to crashland, the game/saves STOP working after the patch (1.0004) is installed, not even loading the savedgames almost of the times.
Any update on this, just say!
cheerz.
@Killawife
I really enjoyed that nuclear snow mod (looks like Sin City). But it froze on me after a couple days of play (when I was at the Freedom base).
Do you also need to download the other updates?
@32. Yeah I found out about the “real” endings after i did the crappy greed ending, however kinda disapointed it completed it instead of just being another normal quest. (I couldn’t be arsed to go to a previous save game wayyy back to do a mission which would give an extra hour of gaming).
this patch looks awesome, looking for disc now to play this game again
I’ve installed this patch, and completed the game again, and i have to say.
this patch is the miracle stalker players have been looking for, it turns a mediocre buggy game, into the best FPS availiable today, install endurance mod, and trader mod, and it’s awesome, in some areas i was getting 10-15 fps, with this patch it’s 70-110.
if u liked this game but felt abused by it’s bugs, or haven’t played it due to bugs, this patch SOLVES your problem.
Love the game, think its brilliant, havent really been able to try out the multiplayer scene due to being the only one with a legit version…
You guys think that they will make stalker a comp game in the future? Like a 5 v 5 artefact hunt??
In any case the game rocks and I cant wait for Clear Sky!!
Hi guys, when I installed the patch v1.0004 and applied the crack i get the following message:
XR_3DA.exe – entry point not found
Can someone help please?
well Dl the 1.0004 patch. Im in the uk, bought the radiation edition. still unable to play multiplayer. Never have been able to which is a massive shame. invalid host all the time, versions the same guess i need a radiation version host? is it just me or was the release of this game badly thought out.
Lame, everytime i update my game no matter what crack i use past tne 1.00 version the game wont load anymore..
