Me too. I'm built like a 12y old and yet do mountain hiking for weeks carrying 20 to 25kg. Never had a sprain. In the snow, you may sprain your knee way more easily than your ankle, btw. I'm tired of this mechanism, I like to explore. I understand that doing crazy thing with the character must be balanced with injuries, but walking downhill in the snow is not a crazy thing if you have a little experience, it's actually fun (and if the characters have no experience at all, they can't carry 30 to 40kg, they can't walk all day long, just let them die :p).

You said "land on an edge", I was wondering what shape it has. So it did land on the edge and a side. Of course, if stating "a coin can land on its edge" means because there are obstacles, or holes, or you catch it mid-air, sure, anything can happen. My point is that there's flaws in every theory (ok, maybe here I should say every metaphor). It doesn't mean that I don't enjoy reading it, or that I disagree. You made your point clear.

Got some squared coins in your area ?

🐧 🐧 For this and all the rest: good job, huge update, much appreciated (I do love the new aiming system)

😁 I've checked 15mn the last update, no problem without the work-around and back to "ultra" settings. Yes !

Seneca - On Anger (while you wait for the support to take care of your manicured bug-report)

Yeah, I also can't understand why a burning torch is not the default option. There's a lot of problems with the interfaces. My guess is that they don't test so much on PC. I'm waiting for the next update to make a new thread about it.

Be careful, food poisoning and parasites are not the same

Maybe. Thing is, in Stalker the wolves are coming in packs, 2 or 3 at a time (this run, up to 7 attacks in a row in Milton 'cause I was 2-bars smelly, and I've seen 6 roaming at the river entry of the Mysterious Lake). Can't tell the number of times I've killed one just before having a second jumping in my face, even had one charging from behind while I was trying to scare the first one with a torch. And you should try to hit a charging wolf with the gun, really (at low skill the bears will just eat it and spit the bullet in your face while mauling). I don't try anymore. I could do like with the arc, bait and kill, but what's the point of a gun then ? And, mainly, how many ammos do you need to scare or kill all the wolves, spawning every two days ? I end up not using it anymore, except for fun (can I hit a wolf I barely see ?). Yeah, you may feel protected with a rifle but to survive you have to avoid the danger or have a huge amount of shots at your disposal, as with arrows.

Hi there pretty ! hmm, ok, I guess it was needed for Wintermute and some players were asking about it. But with all these cars rusting around and with all these crazy wolves (and crows), I would definitively go for slingshots as a survival weapon. cool ! yeeepa ! *throwing pills like confettis* I jump on this opportunity to say something that bothers me a bit : painkillers do not heal sprains. It often makes it worse by hiding the pain, allowing people to keep damaging the joint (yet it can help for the recovery, since you sleep better when not in pain). So I'm not fond of the current system : too much sprains, way too much, too easily cured with magic candy pills. yeeepa ! *throwing penguins*

Coastal Highway, near Ravine's entrance ?

And that's appreciated. Don't feel lonely, like everywhere in the world, I think a lot of people are watching without taking part Not the bunkers (prepper's caches), sorry if I misused the term. I'm talking about the small boxes with an orange top. I've found 4 in different runs, I don't know how many spawn per map run. But even with only two, the loot can be game changing. Yeah I got your point, and what I like about this game is that you have to make your own goals to make it interesting after the first runs. What I personally don't like is the totally unreal decay rate (among other things, but that's an immersion breaker for me). I'm currently playing Stalker, because on the contrary to Voyageur I can't travel around the maps as if it was not a survival game (when I get bored, I do stupid things like exploring without can/pot/bedroll/knife, on Voyageur it's not even a deadly move...). When that run will be over, I think I will go to custom settings (may be soon, after 70 days I'm already having 2 months of food and all utilities. I'll go for a mapping-all-maps challenge but I'm starting to get lazy... and wolfed... maybe I should do it 'Cinderella style', naked into any new map).

HRV is a nice map and will be a challenge for the first 3 days (for you, as I see it, would be harder for me). There's huge loot there too (shelter camps, camp in cave, fire camp, caches...)

Ok, and again thanks for explaining your strategies yeah, I stopped playing Voyager after 60 days of "surviving", nothing to do anymore that could be a real challenge. I start wondering if Cinderella will not die soon of boredom... ;p

impressive run, thanks for sharing. (do you think this map was doable without exploiting the starvation glitch ?)

FYI I did a try-run and no wolf spawned the first 2 days (didn't go further, on a good path to die of hunger) I really enjoyed the first night: aurora, fire settled by the beach for some beach-combing and a midnight bath. The sea brought 1 cotton hat and a piece of wood.

the lighthouse has one stove, but ok, no luck this time You already went to the mine, but maybe it could be considered part of the Connector and not DP ? HRV has such nice loot, if you survive the first 48h I think you'll be ok. (oh, I forgot Mountain Town, that's 8 maps)

no cooking pot in DP ? (just wondering why you focus so much on the can) Anyway, as said before, it will be a gamble (food, bedroll, matches or water - roll the dice). To my opinion, transition maps shouldn't be part of the challenge (still leave DP, ML, CH, TWM, PV, FM, BR - 7 months of fun)

yes, sure, I need to hydrate I use a cover on the pot. It reduce the cooking time and avoid having dust, and ashes, in your drink/meal. That and not having the pot directly on the flames makes the taste quite normal (still got a little 'snow taste', but I'm not sure if it is not just in my mind)

Hi, If I need to keep the fire burning, I will just pull aside some burning coal and put the pot on it. But anyway, around a fire everything smells smoke (including myself and my clothes for the next 3 days...)

Hi all, Not really, some vegetarian traditions are thousands years old. It's more a matter of where than when, as it depends on what grows around you. I guess the modern world is allowing you to have access to food you couldn't have without modern transport. But be sure, what it gives you, it takes away somewhere else... As a vegetarian, I was surprised by myself the first time I've encountered a wild rabbit. Seeing it fleeing triggered an hunting impulse, an instinct of chase. I didn't run after it but I felt the need. So, first time I finally understood how to catch a rabbit with a stone in-game, I let it go, too cute to die... Then I thought about that experience, and ok, starving, cold, on the verge of dying every time I put as step outside, I would never hesitate. I killed the second one. And now I'm proudly wearing my rabbit gloves, can't wait to add the hat

Ola and thanks for the tips, it worked for me Debian 4.9.130-2 GTX 1050 (notebook, optimus), nvidia 384.130-1 But everything come with a cost ^^ Seems to me that the general quality of graphics are impacted (playing ultra), especially "smoke" effects (as in the breathing, or fire). And I experienced some freezing I never had. I tested just a few minutes, so I'll try more and may edit this if needed. Anyway the game is totally playable, thanks again, hoping also that Unity will revised their priority on that matter [edit: oh, ok, they reviewed the severity to more "critical" than just cosmetic as it was, good move](I had just 0 problem with this game pre-update).
