I'm finding this harder than the original

[sdpad222]

Never had problems with difficulty in the original version, but in this enhanced edition I am constantly experiencing radiation poisoning, I'm at the part where you meet Mole and fight the military but I am dying insanely fast, the game has not given me enough SMG ammo so I need to be close range, meanwhile my health is depleting because every area they are in has radiation.

I'm playing on Veteran but I do not remember the game being this hard.

the misfire rate is INSANE, very well condition guns just dont shoot, reload, reload, reload reload oh dead.

Damn, for me it was the inverse I thought it was way easier even on Master. Now CS, that game is kicking my ass everyone drops like flies on the hardest difficulty.

Only thing in this game I had forgotten was how inaccurate the guns are going all directions.

I think, a suggestion is just explore more, fight more bandits get more ammo and vodka, anti rads are very plentiful too. Don't rush, makes enough missions in the first map until you can get at least a starter military vest.

It seems to be the same.

In Stalker, SOC weapons can missfire at any % of condition but it gets more likely the more damaged they become.

Usually, below 66-75% durability, they will already jam semi-often.

In COP, they can only start to jam below 60% but they lose durability much faster than in SOC.

[Kain]

I had little problem with jamming SoC it happened but not all the time, but in CS, wow, even at seemingly 90% condition I had a pistol jamming at every 2 shots and then it normalized jamming more rarely.

Don't know man, these games are nuts sometimes. I had a case of my ammo count doubling then reloading and ammo showing normally.

[sdpad222]

Don't know if my game was bugged, I thought the protective suit was an anti radiation suit so I didn't go for it straight away, I loaded an earlier save and got the mail jacket, I haven't played this game in years so I forgot.

For some reason the enemies are not one-shotting me anymore and it feels like it did when I played it for the first time in terms of difficulty.

Yes I realise this now, I believe my game's difficulty was bugged and now I am breezing through it, before I was being radiated 100% of the time and being one shotted by most enemies.

Using the shotgun is worthless. I am constantly not getting reloaded automatically or, manually. Been killed several times when I shouldn't have been. This is not game enhancement, just piss-poor game design.

They just sat there letting me drop grenades on them and I was shocked how many it took.

Been playing the original game for the last 3 hours. No issues with reloading the shotgun. There is a difference. This EE game is broken/bugged, more than the original SOC.

I did too boot up the O.G and found no difference, Soo unless you have sabotage yourself or just lying.

You have no proof.

IDK, if its just me, but unless i let the full reload animation play, and sit tell the counter hits 2, and then maybe a split second after that firing it it does an infinite reload on the double barrel it seems to not register the weapon is reloaded at all, and is kinda funny thinking its an anomaly screwing with my character making him reload the same bullet and putting it back in.

[wboson]

I went to the Dark Valley and after exiting there Im also being getting radiation poisoning even on Rookie Village. Even though Rookie Village was and should be the safe zone?
Now all 5 slots are filled with anti rad artefacts, else Im toast in 30s...

Guns wont load also yep, If u start shooting b4 the UI shows bullets in the mags are filled it goes into new reload cycle.

100% guns jam at times, not a biggie for me.

Are those bugs and should be reported? Or is there something going on on lore wise ?

[Crypto Gamer]

Hm getting radiation I wonder if EE fixed the infinite radiation bug from the OG?

If you pass a loading zone while radiated in the OG sometimes game forgets and that save file will forever have radiation no matter where you are.

ZRP fixed the radiation bug.
