Yeap I have searched all the cellars.

edit: man, I don't know if its the engine trying to write 32 stalkers in the arena, all the boxes, or what - I can't get anything but choppy performance in there - it's unplayable. I even lowered res. & quality settings.

I get that a lot, and I found a nice cure, it was nothing to do with textures or quality setting on my rig.

Basically I realised that whenever I went to the arena I got choppy performance, except when the Bar was my first level load. So if you load a game in Cordon, travel through Garbage to the Bar I got choppy frames....

However, if I hard saved by the arena, exited the game completely, restarted SHOC and then loaded that hard save, frame rates were as good as everywhere else. I can't explain it, but it works every time for me.

In fact I now only visit the arena in chunks, do all the fights I can in one go, usually at night, and I hard save with that in mind.

I should say this was not in N.E.W.S.A, but its worth a try

Hmmmm....

Could be a bug, then. I get that with some of the side quests too. Bes won't take the ammo I am supposed to mule to him, Bes won't take the body armor he wanted, etc.
Just suck it up & drive on, soldier!!

Hey guys,

Has anyone who had played the mod on 1.0004 has tried it on 1.0005 patch, using the enclosed "patch 1.0005 compatibility file"?
Have you seen any differences, positive or negative when playing under (or on ) 1.0005 after playing it on 1.0004, or vice versa?

busetibi, I didn't enclose your signature on the Final Report that I posted on the Mod website, would you be OK if it's included, in its triple writing as in your post?

Has anyone checked busetibi's scores on the Mod Website? Address, as usual, in my sig.

Any comments??

Challenge is open to everyone. Top scorers get the Mod Website Players Corner appearance. PDA stats pictures required.

Picture updates on Players Corner may take a few dates for each time, as you all would appreciate, I need to do it in bulks and it requires some resizing and pushing/kicking the pictures into slots to make them fit their places properly. But, all will be done soon enough.

you must have a glitch then, I've just loaded an old save in AW and accepted the mission off Lukash then done a speed run back to Cordon.
here you can see the grey circle I was talking about( I know you said you could see this in your PDA map)

and here's the dynamite.

http://busetibi.homestead.com/files/ss_ ... scape_.jpg

you will of course recognise the cellar where the explosives are
yes?

[jarxale]

Guess its just a glitch for me. Haven seen anything like that in my search, thanks for verifying for me though.

OK, those characters are called "Dark Stalkers." They are neutral to you, and you'll find them very helpful for you whenever they spawn (if you're lucky enough) in your immediate locality. They carry some very good weapons, which you can collect if they drop (they hardly would do so unless they're dead or shot -in this case they momentarily drop their weapons and you need to be very quick to collect them) but you can't sell those weapons.

Last time I was in X16 grounds, they appeared and beat the crap out of those zombies and snorks there. They're OK and although they're not "green" friendly by default, they are nevertheless sort of friendly-neutral to you by their positioning in the struggles.

edit: btw, another bunch of nice chopper-down photos.
