That's interesting... I'll have a look. Not expecting much, however, since this issue has been ongoing since way back and not just with this game.

As for whether it's any good, 'Clear Sky' is generally not rated as highly as 'Call of Pripyat' or the original Stalker game, but I bought it so I want to try it. There are mods-a-plenty for these games I know, but first things first

My little brother has the original, and still plays it, but I've not played it. 'Course, he lives half a day away from me...

You can pick up the discs up for no money on Ebay; you won't regret it if you like shooters... possibly the best one ever created

That's what my brother says. "Think 'Black Ops: Call of Duty' Zombies, on steroids, only way better, with a scary AI, and you have to ~think~, not just shoot 'em up."...

In 'Stalker' all the zombies are armed with shotguns, pistols or automatic weapons, but they still don't move fast

Reviving the thread to say that the recent release of Misery 2.2 has brought me back in to it and I'm loving it all over again. It's even more difficult now than it was 3 or 4 years ago when this thread started.

It's not so much the enemies or mutants, though even that is true (silent bloodsuckers for example), but things like armor degradation and cooking. For example I cannot cook my own food because I have yet to find a lighter, which was not one of the requirements in previous versions.

It's just one more challenge to overcome and I like it.

Actually, before installing the new Misery I had been playing around with some other newish mods like Call of Chernobyl which is wonderful for those more interested in living the Stalker life than following a storyline. And frankly many of us have run through the storylines more than once. So the free-play CoC is really cool if you just want to be a Stalker and not worry about 'moving forward'.

The Call of Misery combination of these two mods may ultimately be my sweet spot, but for now I am exploring all of the new features of Misery 2.2 and I'll give it a go once there is a 2.2 version of CoM.

If you've been away from Misery for a while, or Stalker in general, now is a good time for a revisit.

Yaay! I've been mathering for a long time over not being able to play Clear Sky (because of the wretched 'Tages' anti-emulation software). Then I read that GOG and STEAM will redeem a legit game-key for you and provide you with a free download. I went for the former, since it allows you to install on any number of PCs and you don't have to connect online to play.

Well it took 24 hours to download the thing but it was trouble-free (you also get other goodies like the soundtrack, besides the manual) and now I have it on both computers, plus download files copied into an auxiliary storage drive

"Get out of here, Stalker!"
