stalker patch

im thinkin bout gettin stalker as they have a patch to stop most bugs, is it true theres a second patch available soon to fix the last remaining bugs?

Stalker's next patch is due right about now. No-one can tell you for sure if it's any good before it's out.

I'm playing the game through for the 3rd time on the current patch and it runs fine apart from a couple of niggles.

I've been holding off playing it until the bugs are ironed out. Getting bad performance in general and jump outs to the desktop with it. It has been really putting me off playing it.

Hopefully I will be able to play it after the next patch.

ye ill wait till the next patch is out then get it off play.com for 17£!

As people mentioned above, the second patch is almost with us. The Russian patch is available, THQ (the publisher) have passed QA/QC and are now translating it. The game is playable with 1.0001 patch as long as you have an nvidia card, there are performance issues with ATI solutions.

o should be ok then, ive got a bfg 7800 oc at the moment but will have an 8800 soon

Mate - you'll be fine with either the 7800 or 8800. I played with a 7800GT maxed out on 1280x1024 on patch 1.0001. Now 1680x1050 maxed on a 8800GTS

I'm playing Splinter Cell Double Agent ( cool game ) for the time being until the new Stalker patch is released :)

Any ideas about the Save game situation? Am tempted to try it out soon, but cba having to restart it when I apply the latest patch.

There was talk of a save game converter being included with patch 2.

I've just downloaded and tested the 1.0003 patch, original save games work as well :)

I have had no problems yet...
