I'll give it a shot in the mouth!

:D
 
any of y'all still running, or have installed, SoC . . .

Ambient Audio Overhaul v0.8


looking for some feedback and playtesting from other gamers so I can get v1.0 ready, then upload it to some of the mod databases.

Compatible with vanilla 1.06, Sound Overhaul v1.07, Oblivion Lost 2.2

It makes for a great compliment to the Sound Overhaul mod, as it's intended to pick up where SO left off . . .








and I intend to continue working on the mod even after I have my hands on CS (gotta wait until the 15th :cry:) - already have the CS database extractor as well . . . I'm going to see if I can port the mod also :D
 
I love Clear Sky. Also, ever wondered what was on the FLash drive Nimble was carrying? ... ;)

The only two things I don't like is the fact that you cant tell when your in a radiation area if you dont check the guage at the bottom (no clicking, etc.), and the new armour system (doesnt give % protection, degrades WAY too fast). Other than that, I like it. Money well spent.
 
Well, I did get it yesterday and I must say, my initial impression so far is that I don't really like it. However, the game is still in it's infancy so I'll save my final judgment until I've started playing the game properly, but so far, it's not how I thought it would be.

I really don't like how radiation is detected, like Ben said. It's awkward, and the new Armour system sucks. Another thing I really hate is when you want to put stuff in a trunk, chest or whatever to stash your stuff. You can't fuggin' double click the item, you have to drag and drop - this is so demotivating when you have hundreds, even thousands of bullets to get across - that, I hope is changed in the next patch.

The performance, I was pleasantly surprised with how my rig ran the game at 1680 x 1050 without AA, and everything else on high. I had to disable Enhanced Dynamic Lighting to get the game to run smoothly though, which isn't too bad I guess, but I was a little annoyed that if I want it enabled I have to drop below my native resolution - not good!

I have managed however to pointlessly try Clear Sky (and Crysis) out on a über PC at work. One of our customers has ordered a Q6600 based set up with 4GB DDR2 800 (5-5-5-18) and a XFX 9800GX2 - he's getting it for a damn good price too! However, the nubs in Sales supplied the poor bastard with a pissing 19" monitor. Luckily it's a good monitor however, it's completely crippling the whole system. I did say you need to ring this lad ASAP and stress that the machine needs at least a 20.1" monitor to make use of the high-end GFX card. Anyroad, enough of the inabilities of my sales team.

With Clear Sky I was able to max out the game (obviously) in DX10 and it ran relatively respectively, no major lag issues that I get with SHoC and CS on my machine, so that was pleasant, however it was full of glitches. Now, I tested Crysis first as well and the same issue happened there. The issue? Menus flickered like buggery, as did shadows and water reflections (in Crysis) in CS, the main menu was almost impossible to read.

I'll fill in more details if necessary, but it's my break time and I've written I fuggin' essay here. I need a cuppa and cig.

;)

You ran it in DX10 mode on XP? o_o Or are you talking about a PC at work?

It runs on everything max on my system with max in-game AA (though the AA doesn't seem to being applied everywhere) and I get a really good frame rate for the most part, except it can be unstable, average most of the time it'll be at 60-75FPS but can drop badly down to 2-4 FPS, which I reckon is a bug with the game. Oh, and I get a weird problem when it rains/storms, there's these weird artifacts all over the place, like huge triangles, but it only occurs when it rains and I'm looking toward the ground. Besides that, I'm enjoying the game, but I haven't had much chance to play it since I've had to do work on my house :p

The GX2 based rig at work. Obviously can't run DX10 in XP. ;) Not until I figure out how to create a config for Clear Sky. The same way people have done for Crysis. Fingers crossed.

:p

All you would be doing is enabling the features in DX9, as obviously you can't run DX10 in XP. Move yourself over to vista anyway, you won't look back! :cool: :D
 
I work with Vista everyday and I'm not sold. I'm holding out until I move to my Bloomfield rig before I get involved with Vista(64).

If/when you move to vista, you shouldn't touch anything but 64Bit, 32Bit vista is pointless in my opinion. 8GB RAM ftw! :D I wouldn't recommend anyone use 32Bit over 64 unless they needed to use something where the manufacturer had been lazy and not bothered to develop 64bit drivers for it.
 
Another thing I don't like: No medkits. Anywhere. Cost 500 to buy a normal medkit, and theres only one on one in 20 corpses. If you're lucky. Another thing is you dont detect an anomaly until you're inside it. Which is annoying. Another thing I dislike is that selling a rifle will only get you 20RU, when the same one you juts sold costs 1000 to buy back. Needs fixing...
 
I pick up all the guns i come across to sell,and ammo to keep.
 
Yeah well, I'm having to restart now because the psi-emissions in Yantar... following the arrow led me to a new level, which told me to go back to the previous one... obviously, i died because I had to medkits and bandages dont restore health.
 
I have stacks of the red and blue medkits,i pick up all guns at first even pistols to sell,as you get further on just pickup machine guns.I have walked miles overencumbered out of greed lol
 
lol, I just waited till *SPOLIERS*








The mercs attacked the freedom guys the second time round, took their IL86s, sold em, and upgraded my TOZ a little more.






*END SPOLIERS*

Easy way to do it.
 
Check all the green boxes too as they are ammo stashes, found them in agroat duty base X2 and yanter outside the profs lairX1, these respawn ammo, loadsa diff kinds, wait a day or so go back full compliment of ammo to hoard and sell :)

Well, whaddya know?

-added ability to move ammo from the container to the inventory and back by double-clicking.
Also, for me: - fixed ammo and armor prices.

Hopefully that means what I think it means.
 
Cool, just as well I was gonna start a new game!!
 
Hi guys, i have a question about SoC, i set everything to max in the game, including lightning distance but for some reason little bushes only have shadows in my proximity, as i keep walking the bushes that didnt have shadows start getting shadows, its really annoying...

Help....
 
It's the engine's limitations.

Is that from the first (1.0003) patch release notes?
