Ships Ahoy - S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Viva Media and bitComposer Games announce that S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat is now available in North America, offering the third installment in GDC Game World's first-person shooter series set in the vicinity of the Chernobyl nuclear power plan accident. Word is: "Where most first person shooters rely on relentless action to engage their players, Call of Pripyat goes in an entirely different direction, allowing for long moments of silence amidst a desolate landscape and an ever changing vista. The environment is dynamic: day and night alternate and are filled with thunderstorms and sunshine, and the game's artificial intelligence interacts with itself beyond the peripheral of the player. The game truly takes on a life of its own."

Posted this on steam forums as well under my steam id. A little long on the lead because I only just picked up the game.

If anyone else was having issues with even getting into the game, it looks like it is due to the fact that STALKER: CoP is not compatible with the Steam in-game overlay yet.

To get yourself into the game, in Steam, go to File->Settings, then click the [in-game] tab.

Uncheck the "[ ]Enable Steam Community in-game" box.

STALKER:CoP should now run.

Note: this only fixes the problem where you can't even see the loading splash screen, not the in-game issues others are posting about.

$0.02: This is kind of a HUGE oversight here...you'd think someone would have checked that Steam Community worked before putting CoP up on Steam. :/
