Health slowly depleting

[Pato]

Just installed the game, and right after I get to swamps my health starts slowly depleting. No bleeding, no radiation, nothing. Bandages and medkits do nothing. Anybody help?
P.S: patch 1.5.10

Carrying artifacts by any chance? Some of those can bleed you for other benefits. If that's not the issue then obviously there's something else going on.

Nope. Just started the game. Lowering patches, reinstalling the game but nothing.

I'll take the chance of being awfully dense here but, seeing you mention the swamps, are you making any contact with water then? IIRC most (if not all) bodies of water are contaminated.

Granted, it's been a while since I played on a regular so I guess I'm out of it a bit.

Most of my time I was walking in water. Maybe it is the problem, should check.

Dosn't sound right for the default game.. Using a mod, and failed to mention this?

No mods, vanilla game

Ok fellow stalker, In the Red Forest, it is highly contaminated. And this is in certain spots, but mainly vehicles. So you have to watch your radition level at all times. Even tho the radar emitts psy emmisions, if you do not have the head gear from doing the Yantar mission, your not getting in, Yeah it says dangerious radition, but, it is the psy emmisions. In your pic, that is the postprocess for the psy emmision effect. And I am just saying, I lived in this game when it was first released on DVD in 2007. That is how I know which postprocess I am looking at. Radition PPE is bright, and psy PPE is a haze type of off color. This has never changed. Now considering that this PPE takes place before the road block, tells me you do not have it. Because the PPE takes place as you get closer to the Radar towers to shut them off. Not at the road block. If you do not have the gear for it, then it will happen at that road block..

You need to return to the bar and see bar keep. And he will give you a mission to go to yantar. Once you get it, you go to yantar. You will talk to Professor Sakharov. And help him to get a reading so they can config the head gear for the emmitter. Once this is done, go back to Bar keep again (I think you do) to make sure this mission is a done deal. After that, THEN go north..

-Make sure you are loaded with supplies for being shot, anti-rad, what ever your going to need..

-There apperntly there is a hidden bug that can not be seen unless your in 3rd person veiw. What happens is your armor is removed. Even tho your inventory says other wise, it dose never the less. Mainly if you are carring 2 types of outfits. So when you enter the level, to just to be sure, go to your inventory and quickly remove and put it back on..

This is the best I can suggest outside of having the files check verese a reinstall of the game..

Good luck Stalker... You will need it..

The answer was clear, I didn't have to walk through water in the Swamps.

Nah mate, that's fine

Are you sure you aren't irradiated? In Clear Sky the radiation indicator isn't as clear as the other games. If you see a red line on the dial, it means you are taking radiation damage.
That's what happened to me. I didn't notice my rad level, and I died in my inventory.
