I was thinking about the game, but I heard it has a lot of bugs, and was wondering what the worst one is.

Bodies dissapearing off the floor is probably the worst. Almost resulted in a showstopper when one of the guys that I needed to search to get qa document dissapeared from the floor. Thankfully i worked around the glitch and just clicked the right spot and found him.

Besides bodies dissappearing from the floor I haven't run in to many bugs, so I guess that's the worst. Also the time speed up after pressing * was annoying since they didn't mention about it clearly, I know it wasn't technically a bug but hella annoying still.

I'm not really sure if it's a bug or not, but whenever you go to a new area you automatically get a new mission to kill someone or find something - And then you gotta go all the way back to the very first trader for your reward ... Annoying :)

 Yeah, except when you don't care about the side missions. Which I learned to do. I ended the game with a ton of cash anyways, so they are basically pointless.

Worst one for me was not being able to open the trader's door after completing a mission. Took about 20mins to open it, then it crashed like 5 minutes after I got the reward but I learned how to open it.

Worst bug's in Stalker ? Some of them , which i faced ...

1) Some bodies dissapearing

2) Important AI not moving . But restarting the game solves it for me.

3) Task failing when u've already done it . But loading a previous saved game helps.

4) Task given , but enimies to be killed in the task not appearing , thus task failing .

Etc ...

Make sure u patch the game .

             I just hate how the bandits respawn less than a minute after you clear an area. I also get grey boxes in the sky when it rains. And yes i updated my video drivers.

The games sometimes says that you failed a task, just because you are doing something else elsewhere. A couple of times I was shooting at some guys, and they were shooting back, and then suddenly they stopped shooting and walking around like if I wasn't there, I just stabbed them in the face with my knife, and they didn't complain about it, at least they didn't shoot back... :p

Not so much as a bug as a performance issue. But in the real ending level, the game was virtually unplayable for me, even at lowest settings. In the rest of the game I was able to play on high settings, and even in a few parts I was able to have dynamic lighting turned on. But that extra ending, it was a slideshow at minimal settings. Too bad, because that seemed to be one of the best parts of the game despite the performance issue.

Oh, I just remembered, something that qualifies as the worst actual bug.  At the end of Pripyat, at the stadium. Depending on the exit you choose, it may skip it altogether.

yeah thats the worst for me too.

I have 4 different saves, so if something happens, I can go back, so the other bugs arent really bothering me.

That's the only notable one I've come across, never encountered the fallingthroughfloor thing though, which usually occurs if the physics engine explodes, which usually implies a combination of bad implementation of said physics, coupled with possibly, a less than meager CPU.

I didn't see any significant bugs for me to regret the purchasing of this game. Most of this is just bitc*ing and moaning on the forum for the sake of bitc*ing and moaning on the forums. Performance issues are mainly due to weak PC's that people are playing on. Mine is not so up-to-date too (dual core, 1000 RAM and Nvidia 6800), but I loved the game more than HL2 or Doom3. Disappearing bodies didn't happened so often for me, perhaps 10 out of 200 - 300 of those that I killed. Sometimes if you walk into the spot where they had disappered, they appear back. There is some lag, but mostly at the beggining, when you start playing the game. Afterwords, it worked fine for me. I never encountered closed trader's door, this is something very rare. First time I ever heard of that.

Failing task is not a bug. Sometimes you end up killing enemies in one particular area, which happens to be a task from someone (trader, Duty or Freedom guys). Than it tells you to go and get your reward. If you don't get it in 2 game days, the task is a failer. So, big freaking deal. They usually just give you money. Money is not even a problem in this game, just collect artifacts and sell them to anybody, and there is your cash.

Didn't see the rain triangles, but I wasn't really looking for those. Hardly an important issue. However, the thunder storm was awesome. All that thunder and lightning was so freaking intimidating! I thought I am gonna get electricuted, so I ran inside! :)
