I had a small issue relating to the AI that I just wished to bring up. An AI in a neighboring planet apparently wanted to explore the planets beyond the bottleneck created by my planet, so he would send scout frigates to explore those planets. The problem with this is that I had built defenses right at the jump point were his scouts would appear and then jump away from. His ships never made it through, so he sent a constant stream of them trying to get past. It cost him a pretty penny

Well I just played a 2 hour 36 minute game (didn't quite finish because its bed time.) For me the game was quite stable, not a single glitch occurred that I could notice. The reason I'm posting is that I thought you might be interested in my setup. Athlon 64 3400+ 1.25 Gb Ram Ati Mobility Radeon 9600 64mb Windows Xp Sp 2 My graphics card is actually BELOW the minimum specs as Yarlen has told me, but the game played wonderfully with almost no slow downs. 1

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl in Games Sins Forums

So does anyone else here have this game? It's interesting how much promise there is in this game, and how it has changed from the versions presented back in 2004. I like the game (not so much the scary parts) but I think it will be vastly improved when the modding tools are released and the features that were cut (sleeping, vehicles) are fixed. The code and textures for the vehicles and sleeping are largely still there so once the tools are provided their should be a great am

Well, the key word there is NEARLY. My comp is so slow and old it can't handle dynamic lighting, so its actually easier to see them coming. This summer I will upgrade in time for SOASE! To a new comp with that newfangled ATI R600 card whenever they get around to releasing it...
