So I want to get S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl. Some people have told me to get the retail version and some have said to get it off Steam. I have heard multiplayer does not work with steam because of a leaked patch (1.0006) which Steam does not support (it uses 1.0005) so multiplayer does not work. I have also heard that the are more bugs in the Steam version than the retail is this true? Another thing is the Tages DRM, someone told me that there is an install limit of 5? Does the steam version have an install limit or is that retail or neither?
Please people who have the steam or retail version respond and inform me of any DRM, install limits, multiplayer issues or additional bugs in the Steam version thanks! :)
Whoever told you there's DRM on SoC needs to go shoot themselves for being incredibly stupid. And yeah, MP doesnt work on Steam.
*Shoots himself* I told you i was talking about clear sky, then i proceeded to explain tages to you. There is no DRM on SoC.
What the fuck is DRM?
And MP works on SoC I have it on steam and played it.

Multiplayer sucks in STALKER, its nothing special.
Ok thanks guys. I didn't realize you were talking about Clear Sky spAcY sorry. Alright so I'll probably just get it off steam then. :D
DRM is Digital Rights Management it's a way to stop piracy but it usually is very annoying and doesn't work effectively. For example there might be an install limit on a game.
Okay I bought the Steam version it's downloading! Hope multiplayer works, if not I found a way to patch the game properly to play MP.

They would be wasting their time if they have, takes anyone about 3 minutes to get over that, that is, experienced pirates :P
