I hear Clear Sky runs like crap with full DX10 lighting.. Think getting another HD 4850 would be worth it? Anyone know if its optimized for Crossfire like SHoC?

From the results someone posted, it looks as if the game really does benefit from multiple GPUs. However, I doubt it's officially optimized for multiple cards. Apparently it does improve things though, but quote me on that.

Well all the games I have now run fine all maxed 4x+ AA so I would just be getting this for Clear Sky. I see you have it and XP does it look good with the full DX9 rendering?

It looks better than SHoC that's for sure! The textures, especially the road(s) have far more detail to them. I was hoping God Rays wouldn't be a DX10 exclusive but they are. :(

I'm looking forward to testing the game out with the new patch.

My mind cant fathom how awesome the graphics and how much they improved the game. Runs AWESOME with full DX10 with some sliders in the middle/high range but still looks great and the lighting is simply amazing. Right now I am about to go help some dudes in camp 2 or something like that.

I joined the faction Duty after about 2 days of playing , but i got a mission wer i have to talk to some Freedom guys. Since they are my enemies, they attack me and im forced to kill them. But this leads to me failing the mission and not being able to continue the game...i just uninstalled it :(.. I'll install it again wen i feel like playing it from the beginning again. I dont know if this is a bug that only i encountered, or if it is an actual consequence of the game.. so beware.

PS, does anyone know how to leave a faction? i tried everything, including killing everyone in the duty base lol.

sorry to break up y'all's CS chatter :p

but I need some assistance in compatibility checking - any of y'all with SoC 1.05 still installed on the HDD?

I'f you'd be so kind, download these two parts and install them:

ambient audio overhaul v0.9 pt1
ambient audio overhaul v0.9 pt2

I'm looking to see if an incompatibility issue exists with v1.05 saved games. For some reason, on my system and one other users, loading a game will CTD. I thought it was a borked config file I included, but turns out to not be the case . . . now I'm just wondering if it might not have anything to do with my mod at all . . .

but, it's strange, this only happens with v1.05 - all other patch versions are fine; 1.00, 1.01, 1.03, 1.04, 1.06 :wtf:

Doesn't make sense.

that'd be very much appreciated, man :toast:

I'm trying to clear up the potential incompatibility issue before I upload it to a database.

I think you need Enhanced Lighting (and DX10) effects enabled. I only have Depth of Field enabled, once I've figured out how to enable it all I'll post it up. Clear Sky is a bugger, you have to restart the game everytime you try a new command. :shadedshu

What would you guys say would be the best main quest mission to stop on so I can focus on killing Duty with Freedom? I beat the game once just going through the main story and now I am focusing more on the Freedom Faction War. The current one I am on is Scout the Road to Lamansk which if I recall correctly is the last mission before you cant turn back, but I could be wrong!
