I'm not in the habit of writing such extensive and repeated texts on the internet, neither social networking or forums. But I REALLY want to play this game, man..
in case this helps you, it always crashed at the last loading segment before the "press any button" line comes, "synchronising game resources" or whatever it's called.
Interestingly, I re-installed the game.. worked for 2 times again. then it crashed at the "re-starting alife... thingy". Then I re-started the game, then it worked again.
So in short, there doesnt seem to be any logic in it... now, after working again, it's working (i.e. I can get into the game) but F2 and F4 don't work, where they did before, and no, I didn't change the controls yet (i.e. I didnt reset them so that quicksave, quickload and first person view are on different Fs). I'm not an expert, but usually this stuff has some consistency. This is just wierd.
(the trainer doesn't now even react to F2 and 4 on the desktop....
)
Now, after shutting down and starting my computer, all keys and the actual loading works... FOR NOW. What the F*... ^^ I get that this is a homemade trainer for a homemade mod... but even so.
My system:
is a rather older quad-core with 2.5 GHz and 4GB ram, win 7. My current stalker version is from a *******, because I did buy and pay for all 3 parts of Stalker, but having moved apartment, and country, a few times, I stopped lugging my CDs with me everywhere. Not sure what the legality is of downloading a game I own... anyway, I'm not a scrounger, I did buy it. (in addition, when stalker came out first, I didn't know about torrents)
