Me too, I also know for sure that the Jellyfish right at the start is always there. :(
(actually if it's one of those 5 'artifact fields' i've been hearing about it's a guarantee, i still have strong suspicions that there's no artifact randomization anymore though, and i can't seem to turn it back on either)

I suppose your videocard is nVidia?
Yeah I've got a 8800GT, I'll try updating my drivers or I'll wait for the next patch.

If you open the notepad and paste you'll be able to read the log. Also, the logs are stored here: Documents and Settings/All Users/Documents/STALKER-STCS/
These types of crashes will be fixed in 1.5.05:
- исправлен краш (smart_terrain.script:227: attempt to index local 'obj' (a nil value))
- исправлен краш (smart_terrain.script:1003: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value))
- исправлен краш (sim_combat.script:950: attempt to index a nil value)
- исправлен краш (sim_board.script:688: attempt to index local 'obj' (a nil value))
- исправлен краш (smart_terrain.script:288: attempt to call method 'clear_smart_terrain' (a nil value))
- исправлен краш (bind_monster.script:72: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value))
- исправлен краш (xr_effects.script:1607: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value))
- исправлен краш (! [LUA][ERROR] ERROR: There is no task with entity_id)
- исправлен краш (! [LUA][ERROR] ERROR: error. val_smart_terrain_5_0_freedom_antenna)
- исправлен краш (task_objects.script:2231: attempt to call global

- исправлен краш (ERROR: Invalid AI map at kamp point [mar_smart_terrain_6_8_kamp_1])
- исправлен краш (sim_combat.script:429: attempt to index local 'comander' (a nil
value))
- исправлен краш (task_objects.script:580: attempt to concatenate field 'id' (a nil
value))
If your crashes are related to hardware however, I wouldn't expect the patch would fix them but tried different drivers or graphics settings instead.

I talked to my brother, and we decided to wait until the end of the year and hopefully some patches come out. Once that happens, we will probably be able to play CS. Until then I'm just playing old games that I haven't finished and waiting until GTA IV comes out on PC. Did someone say sandbox?

Well, if SoC was only an average game for you, then there really isn't much hope you'll like CS, even totally bugless...

Does anyone know for sure if artifacts are randomized or not?
The locations are always the same but the actual artifacts you find are randomized.

Are you using quicksave a lot or just a few save games? The only CTD issues I've had were solved by just going back to a slightly earlier save game. I've got a save game for each individual map and the few times I've had repeated CTD problems simply going back to another save game fixed the problem. Seems saves get corrupted pretty easily or something. Might not be the same as your problem but certainly worth a shot.

Yeah I tend to use quicksaves a lot but I've also tried loading some previous saves and I get CTDs as well, it seems all my saves are corrupt or something. I've updated my drivers and it did nothing. I'll wait till the next patch comes out, hopefully it will fix it.

Have you updated to 1.5.04?
It was a well known and big problem before (according to many people), but with 1.5.04 I have had no such problem and I quicksave/quickload a lot. Change of drivers won't help, it was an error of engine. I read saves actually weren't corrupted, something else was preventing them from loading.

Hmm, but still one won't be able to find a Mama's Beads or Kolobok in the Swamps I guess.

Yeah my game is patched to 1.5.0.4, my saves actually work it's just that I automatically get a crash a few minutes after loading now. Some of my earliest saves dont seem to have that problem though. It seems it only happens in the agroprom area.
