Hi there,
I've got stuck with SS2 - real stuck, as I just played it plain badly at the beginning (as a Marine/Grunt), so have been struggling ever since. But I really do not want to start all over again, as it has taken me ages just to get to this far in the game.
So, I thought I would try out the cheats - beef myself up a bit! However, loads of them do not work, and when I do successfully 'summon a object' (eg, pistol, shotgun, etc) it just crashes my PC and I have to reboot. Any idea why?
I've got the latest official patch, etc - and I do not use a no-CD patch. And, yes, I've also got all the texture, high-res, etc packs/mods. I'm playing it on XP home, not Vista.
Hear from you soon,
all the best,
itsonlydanny

The message is pretty clear: Don't cheat! ;)
If you're low on resources go to medsci, start an alarm and whack some hybrids to death, then gather their belongings.

11. If your character seems a lot slower and shorter than he should be, you're probably in crouch mode. Remember that crouch in SS2 is a toggle, unlike most other FPSs where you have to hold it.
That's not true. You can bind either toggle crouch or hold crouch. It depends on which one you bind in the configuration. Personally I always use Hold Crouch.

IIRC, if you use the console while you're inventory is open, the game explodes. Be sure you've got that closed. Also spawning in already "busy" rooms can give some performance issues.

Wait, you don't want to start over again, but you want to cheat and therefore make your entire journey a waste of time? :weird:
Anyways, about the crashing, if the tip about the inventory doesn't work, you could try a clean reInstall of the game (back up your savegames first!), and try again. This could be related to mods.

My first time took two weeks in real life.
About 30hrs game time.
