Don't forget to speak with them. ?Keep an extra weapon on hand in case the durability of your main weapon affects its condition. ?Low crouch will imporve your aim. ?Don't forget to explore the environment for better positions or hidden locations. ?If you are in a hostile area and are approaching a corner, it is wise to lean/peek around the corner before proceeding. ?In multiplayer, remember to spend your money frugally. Money is a limited resource, so budget wisely for longer games. Good luck! ======================================================= MULTIPLAYER S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl LAN and Direct IP Multiplayer Connect: Players can connect to each other either locally over a Local Area Network (LAN) or remotely via direct IP connection. Both connection types use the TCP/IP protocol. To host or join either type of game, select Network Game from the main menu. Product Key Required ? You must have installed S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl with a valid product key in order to connect and play online. A product key cannot be connected by two PCs at the same time. If upon connection you receive an error message related to your product key, please re-install S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl and enter a valid product key. Firewall settings ? Hosting multiplayer games from behind a router/firewall/proxy is not currently supported. Players can connect to a host using the following information. If you are behind a firewall/proxy and are able to configure its settings, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl needs the following TCP ports open in order to function: 6667 (IRC) 3783 (Voice Chat Port) 27900 (Master Server UDP Heartbeat) 28900 (Master Server List Request) 29900 (GP Connection Manager) 29901 (GP Search Manager) 13139 (Custom UDP Pings) 6515 (Dplay UDP) 6500 (Query Port) Make sure that S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl appear on your Windows Firewall exception list, and the exception lists of other firewall products you are currently running. If you are behind a DMZ, disable all on-access scanners. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s installer automatically adds the game to the list of exceptions for Windows Firewall. Anti-virus software ? Many users of antivirus software (such as Nvidia Access Manager, NOD32, Norton, PandaSoft, etc.) are unable to connect to GameSpy, experience poor performance or game crashes. If you experience trouble, we suggest that users place S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl on the exception lists for these software products or otherwise disable them during gameplay.
