usually you need the original game to play the expansions

Havent heard of any expansions. There is a new game that came out called Stalker Clear Sky which is a separate install. I loved every bit of Stalker, and despite hearing many complains experienced no bugs with the game. But after downloading Clear Sky I could barely play it from the start. Some events weren't triggered, others didn't work the way they should, the game is simply broken. I suppose they might have released some new patches for it by now but after the amount of frustration i had with it the first time around I dont feel like giving it a second chance.
The original Stalker on the other hand, i think about pretty often. I might just replay it sometime soon. That game was a serious challenge and lots of fun and immersion. Only minor gripe being the slow beginning.

is clear sky better than stalker? I couldn't finish stalker but clear sky has my interest..., I found stalker was sooo awefull... the guns are so useless, you can't kill anyone past 15 feet

Did you have any of the patches installed?
I installed up tooo the 2nd to last one? 1.7 or .7 something cause .8 is only mp fixes.
What exactly isnt working for you. I actually havent had a single crash or freeze yet.
I suggest leaving the graphics at a Medium as it does get kinda laggy on my system low end system.

Il have to look into the patches. It wasn't crashing or anything, but rather some events in the game weren't triggered the way they are supposed to during the diff assignments, messing up everything.
For example that first assignment where you have to kill that pack of mutant boar things, climb up the outpost and then see a fallout happen. Nothing happened after i killed the mutant things. I had to replay it like 10 times to figure out the exact route i was supposed to go so the game picked up on my position and progress. Annoying..
