FiestaGear

Wow thanks for the help so far lol. ive seen this thread in multiple other fourms but still nobody has responded to them . i have reinstalled the game several times but all i can get is the local content, but i cant unlock the game beacuse it keeps shutting down every time i try to verify the online cd key. i assume the reason nobody has posted a reply beacuse i dont think there is a way to solve this problem. i ve sent multiple complaint emails but stalkers publisher hasnt gotten back to me and steam support just keeps telling me to go to them. i mean wtf just give me a dam refund. ive heard that they dont give refunds to games bought online from a 3rd party, but the game wont even unlock, that is a defective product and i'm not going to pay for somthing that isnt going to work at all.

i am still on the fence about which version. i might have misspoken. i dont really want max settings, i would be fine with mid-range settings. see the only thing i am concerned about is controls. plus i am much more accurate with a mouse and keyboard then i ever would be with a controller. but there is VATS and ive played many a shooter on the xbox 360. heh i wish this could have been an easy decision to make.

i bet this could go in some other forum but i am really on the fence on which version i should get. i love pc controls but i dont know if my pc could run it, so here are my specs.

Intel 3.0 ghz processor (not core 2 duo)
3.4 gb of ram
geforce 8800 gts with 320 mbs of ram

i think i can run it, but would it be the bare minimum. i want a good playable framerate with pretty good graphics.

i bought the game through steam. looks like it was a horrid decision to make. i can even install the game. every time i try to run it . i get the message, a window pops up saying Xrengine-@ctiv - server communication error : An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.   WTF does that mean and why can i install the game. if this doesnt work im going to demand a refund.  PLS help
