25th Chernobyl accident anniversary

26 April 2011

A quarter century ago at 1:23 a.m. an extremely powerful heat explosion happened at the Chernobyl NPP, resulting in over a hundred tons of radioactive substances thrown out into the environment. The fallout equaling the explosion of 500 Hiroshima bombs dropped in 1945, it changed the lives of hundreds of thousands witnesses and liquidators of the disastrous accident for good.

Today we express our deep respect and gratitude towards these courageous and selfless people who have protected us from the trouble.
Thank you... Let's have a moment of silent grief and remember the ones who are no longer with us.

Dear ladies!

4 March 2011

On behalf of GSC development team, let us send our spring greetings of the International Women's Day of March 8! May this warm sunny day bring you joy and love! We wish you happiness!

S.t.a.l.k.e.r.s. of the world, unite!

14 January 2011 Shadow of Chernobyl, Clear Sky, Call of Pripyat

S.T.A.L.K.E.R., without exaggeration, is popular not only in the former Soviet Union, but also with players from all around the globe. The universe of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. attracts more and more people internationally and the growth of interest in the mysterious Zone continues.

Now and then, we may ponder, what do the developer-native Russian-speaking community think of the game? What do they like about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and what are their expectations of the future sequel?

The Official S.T.A.L.K.E.R. community group on Facebook has initiated the collection of questions to the Russian-speaking fans of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. You have a wonderful opportunity to look at the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe through the eyes of game fans living in the ex-USSR part of the world, where the project originated from. Post your questions in the Facebook group page, just make sure they are written clearly and concisely. Try to come up with an interesting question, be inventive.

Have fun communicating with s.t.a.l.k.e.r.s all around the world!

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series bibliography counts over 40 novels (in Russian) released. Its popularity continues to be so huge that book publishers have to do reprints of the novels sold out. As as result, the process of nearing the two sides – games and books – has seriously progressed. Nevertheless, it is not the first book experience for GSC Game World (given the earlier release of Heroes of Annihilated Empires series of novels in ex-USSR).

Dear players! Many of you have faced a problem of making S.T.A.L.K.E.R. run on your PC today. On behalf of GSC Game World, we would like to apologize for the inconveniences caused.

The problem of running the game is caused by temporary shutdown of ourinternet service. According to our colleagues, the situation will be resolved within the next few hours. For players who would like to play in single mode or in multiplayer over LAN, as a temporary solution, we suggest disconnecting the internet network cable on your PC on launch of the game, or disabling the internet connection via Windows OS tools.
