Wow, i don't think this will be very stable..

especially when the retail game was infamous for already being very unstable and buggy!

 

[KSoD]

I have the retail version and it runs fine on XP/Vista/Win7. I have had no stability or bug issues.

 

[Oreo]

Hmm...maybe i will try it.

Say hi to the insects and ask if they miss me!

The game is still not totaly bug-free with the latest patches....I don't want to know what that release looks like. :S

Anyone who has not played Stalker...I can highly recommend it.

It is a fantastic game and ran without any issues for me.
