Developer GSC Game World has recently released patch v1.5.08 for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky, prequel to the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R.  It offers an alternative point of view for gamers, giving fans a different way of approaching the first game.

With the new version, 1.5.04 and 1.5.07 saved games will be compatible with the new patch.  Here are the key changes made with this news update:

• Added the possibility for admins to take screenshots of a player's screen (as an anti-wallhack-cheats measure) by console commands (make_screenshot, screenshot_all).
• Fixed bug with banning the players.
• Fixed bug with saving the rank and money amount of the player upon the round restart (if the player deliberately closed the game process in the task manager, and then reconnected).
• Increased the stability of the network play.

You can get the patch on the official site, where GSC has provided links for both the retail and download version.
