Comments - Gandalf:

So using higher versions of DirectX will take the game longer to load. Dx8 offers the best performance and fastest loading time. So if you are having problem, I suggest lowering the DirectX version until you find a comfortable version to play.

Hahahahaha. "The Axe is a Hardmode, post-Plantera hamaxe, a combination of a hammer and an axe. It produces an overdriven electric guitar sound when swung. The Axe has a 2% (1/50) chance of being dropped by Plantera..."

Agreed, I tried your tweak and it is pretty good. It made the start a lot more challenging, which I always appreciate.

So I went to buy a knife and the trader was talking to me about different types and prices.
Told him the cheap one should do it, but he kept on about the performance not being good, the handle was not ergometric and that I was going to be disappointed for sure. After much chat he asked me:

- What do you want this knife for anyway?

- Breaking boxes.

Very nice. I had tweaked the game_relations making bandit, stalker, mercenary friend with each other and duty/freedom friends with everyone else but keeping their hostile tendency to one another. With this I had more enemies roaming around making me their favorite target.

Noah appreciates it.

Misery is awesome, TAZ is awesome, Misery + TAZ is the same as seeing a Controller flying and using it's powers from above. Pure joy and suffering, can not stop playing.

Gandalf's Diary / Entry Never mind.
In the zone looking at your back can become very addictive, leading to paranoia and potentially to your death. Check your surroundings from advantage points, keep moving and leave your shadow behind.

Awesome.

After following all instructions and optimization, I have almost no stutter and 0 crashes. My computer is not powerful and so I respect that, I am using DX8 static light, and everything else in the video settings are in half. I can run with 1080p constant 60 fps. Nothing wrong with TAZ. Misery is one of the best mods available for Stalker, the numbers speak for themselves. Many other mods were inpired by Misery and I have to say that is a very balanced and immersive mod, I have more than 700 hours in with Misery, I am playing since from the first published version and I have followed the mod's growth. TAZ is also another wonderful mod that adds even more to the world of Misery. If you do not like Misery you have your reasons and that is alright, but do not just start to make assumptions thinking that they are true.

Jerry still lives, I am not sure for how long. He is a tough one.

Hahaha. After come back from Pripyat I become rogue and everyone is my enemy.

So I followed the Black Road and after 2 hours trying to get to a safe place finally I was successful. Following the rules, I can not save if not after sleeping in a tent, money was a problem so I had to find some work. After the job was done I got back to Skadovsk and bought the material necessary to build a safe place so I could rest. Then made a plan, that was to camp in a safe spot at a hill to the north, I was pretty sure that I was going to be able to handle anything that could try to divert me from my plan, but I was wrong. Opened the door from Skadovsk and died, yes the door smashed me with so much enthusiasm that I was squashed between it and the wall. Do not know how it happened, but I sure know that the Zone will surprise you in every way it can, you are not safe and never will be.

The crash log should be located inside your game folder, Stalker Call of Pripyat/_appdata_/logs/xray_(name of user). To open you can use use notepad, the crash report should be located in the last lines of the log. If there is nothing shown on your log file, it is because your crash resulted in a empty log. My advice to you would be to start a new game and see if that would fix your problem.

It better work or I am going to become mutant's lunch.

Good idea I am also planting a butterly mine near the bait, it might not kill it but that will slow it down.

I swear there is a snork following me.

Well I am looking foward to. I never get bored with
Stalker + Misery + The Armed Zone (order of installation). Let's see if I can live long enough to complete the challenge.

I said making a cake was easy, just follow the instructions. I ended up with bread.

I found a horrible bug. I mean a real bug the size of a pea. I call it Jerry.
Finished the game with no problems, I am planning to play with only one weapon for each playthrough. I bet it is going to take me a lot of time to use all of the weapons. The mod is awesome and so is Jerry.

Devil's work I say. Throw it away and use paper maps and a journal instead, best be safe than sorry.

The patch to fix the script is out. I tested it with bunch of weapons and it is working great.

TAZ 2.0 is out !

Congratulations for TAZ team the mod is awesome. Praises from the Middle Earth.

I am good, and how are you buddy?

Scary... But I will tell you this, when TAZ is released I am leaving my girlfriend, because this deserves all my love and attention.

Keep your head down and be ware for Nazgûl.

One stalker asked to another where he was going:
- I am going to Circus Anomaly. - A strange and faint sound could be heard nearby, but he did not payed much attention to it.
- Why?
- Well I was thinking about getting some artifacts, maybe on the way there hunt for food.
- Why?
- What do you mean why? I need money and I am hungry, stop asking what you already know!
- No, it is not that. Why you did not help me? That was a snork that just attacked me, I am bleeding and now I am going to die.
- Oh, I thought that was your dog.
- I never had a dog!
- Why not? If you had one maybe he had protected you from that snork.
- Good point - Arrgh!

Hahaha that remembered me when I started playing for the first time I did not explore much so I did side with bandits. I end up on the transaction with only the handheld flashlight and a pistol, I understood that I was not bullet proof very fast and that the head-mounted flashlights are a luxury.

I think I cheated to get this one I edited the files :( sorry I will not do it again.
