I'm thinking about getting this game but from my experience with the last STALKER (1st one) where it kept crashing on me makes afraid of this one. I want to make sure with people here who had played this STALKER that both I can run it and will it crash.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat
Game » consists of 3 releases. Released Feb 02, 2010
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:Call Of Pripyat (Зов Припяти) is the third game in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. franchise, and picks up shortly after the events of the original game. Call of Pripyat takes elements from both the original game and the prequel, Clear Sky, and is generally considered the most polished and most accessible game in the series.
Will it crash?
It runs alot more smoothly than previous games in the series (isn't saying much though i guess). Hasn't crashed on me in the 4 hours i've played of it, and i've heard from other people that it's quite stable so far.
Will it Crash? Maybe, but not as frequently as the last 2 games it seems.
I had a crash when i first loaded my fist save, which was after 30mins. Ever since that I have had no issues at all.
I wouldn't be surprised if it did crash considering it was recently released. Eastern Bloc games are notorious for being buggy but after patching the game up it should be worth it. That said, the orginal STALKER still crashes on my PC.
I've only had one random crash in the entire time I spent on my first (Russian version) play through.
I just had one happen in the English version when starting a new game after having just played a couple hours in an existing one. But really, how many times you gonna start your game over without quitting out entirely?
I've spend about 30 to 35 hours on this game. And it havent crashed on me ONCE! So no, I dont think it will crash to much on you either then.
Got the game today and boy it runs a lot better than the 1st one. Thank you all for your encouragement in making me buy this including Master of russian games, Dave.
As long as i dont die i'll be fine. Kinda makes dying more damn dangerous." @Death_Burnout: edit: oops, disregard last post. Have you tried pressing the quickload key before pressing spacebar after dying? "
I run the game in pretty low settings, my hefty machine can never seem to run stalker well, but with games like Far Cry 2, Fallout 3 and to a lesser extent, Crysis (never like bringing that game up in a system discussion...ugh) my machine runs silky smooth most of the time.
Its a shame cus only played 45 minutes of the first game, before i couldnt take the constant crashing anymore, never played clear sky, and now with this i was stoked to hear it actually might work for me, because i fucking love Stalker in concept, but it still has problems.
I like to think all of the stalker games have also suffered radiation and that they are full of anomalies (bugs) and that my computer can suffer a "blowout" haha
Edit: oops, Nah i haven't tried that yet, i shall do, i went back to the menu on all times
