*If appdata is not in the game directory. Open fs_game.ltx as a txt file, first line $app_data_root$ will show the way to it. Delete or rename this folder. This is the storage of your saves, logs and user.ltx file.

02. To remove mod addons, delete its db file from PATCHES folder.
03. If some db file were replaced with mod addon, replace it with original mod one.
Tips:
01. The highest difficulty in vanilla game is a laughstock. Try story difficulty here first to not cry later, if you are not ready to adapt and survive.
02. Make hard saves every now and then by ~save [name of the save file without brackets].
03. DX9 (recommended) is recommended for max settings and best experience. NO DISCUSSIONS.
04. For more graphical options use "more expert options" addon.
05. To turn off weapon inertion: ~ g_use_aim_inertion 0 - off, 1 - on.
06. If the crash is not repeatable, this is not a crash.

04. Stack Trace: - load last save.
05. Any NPC headshot crash - load last save.
06. Any unrepeatable random crash - load last save.
07. After taking anabiotic you hear the rumble - save game and load it, use anabiotic
right after message about the Emission to avoid this glitch.
08. A very strong fps drop can occur between Eastern Tunnel and Jupiter Plant - save
game and load it.
09. You die in Jupiter underground from the emission - load the save before entering
the tunnel, probably emission will start in 1-2 minutes, wait for the end.
10. Sokolov or a military guy don’t go to evacuation point - just leave them behind, it
doesn’t effect ending anyhow.
11. During the Evacuation Mission squad stops and not moving - replay from the last
hardsave. Make hardsaves during the evac mission, when squad is on the move. It
is possible that this mission can have glitches if replayed from quicksaves.
12. During the Evacuation Mission crash on loading save - load that save again, try to
find a safe place and make another hard save.
13. If you have troubles or crashes with Evacuation mission, chose Story difficulty and
finish it at once without intermediate saves.
14. If you have crashes moving towards the mission marker on second visit to Pripyat
(Unknown, Radio interference), try to replay from autosave, or load save before
autosave, if you have one.
15. Exe file is modified, so antivirus might check it.
16. If you can't change resolution after you already selected one, go to user.ltx and change vid_mode ----x---- to your height and width resolution. Open fs_game.ltx as a txt file, the first line will show where is user data folder. Open user.ltx as a txt file.

01. Open fs_game.ltx as a txt file, first line $app_data_root$ will show the way to it.
02. Open logs folder, open the log.ltx as a txt file, scroll to the bottom.
03. Copy everything after FATAL ERROR in the end of the file.
Alternative: Press Ctrl+V right after the crash to paste the needed log part in text field.

Again playing cop with this gem. This mod never fails to impress me. Its just literally so perfect for me. Its not too hard like misery but also not too easy like the vanilla game. Just in between them. A perfect balance I will say. Not making the game too hard nor making too easy. This is what i really love. Well i do hope you guys are going good. Its been a long time i havent really talked to you folks. How you are all doing. And hows the development of soc abr going. And what about the updates you were going to release for stalker cop and cs abr.
I'm ok, thanks. Hope you're ok too.
Only COP update now is developed. May be It will be finished in the autumn of this year. After COP stuff will be ported to CS.
As for the SOC. I did some work there. Since there sleeves not change. There will be onle 3 outfits - light (bandit coat)\middle (seva)\heavy (skat or bulat). They all have black leather sleeves. Still better than walk in sweater. Yeah, hands will use COP's seva hands. There are already detector from Autumn Aurora (probably I told this already), but the good thing I found how to make anomaly spawn artifacts. So they really will spawn artifacts on start of the game and you will go there and make them visible with detector. Vanilla game have this stuff working, but looks like devs were lazy to go and remake all.spawn file to put there anomalies which can and can't spawn artifacts. So, MAY BE, there will be something like CS and COP have for the artifacts. Other than that, fully working OWR with speed up animations and synced sounds from ABR COP. WEather will be vanilla, with some tweaks in lighting, so it wouldn't be so dark. Saddly game lags on DX9 near the bonfires, the only cure is to play in windowsed mode or play on DX8. I can't fix that. SOC will have 4 quick slots like COP. COP style inventory. ALso, there are plans to change story a bit. So you go to Agroprom Underground only once. Without that stupid backtracking to cordon and agroprom in the end of the game. It was annoying. For now I plan to remove weapon and outfit degradation, since there are no mechanics anyways. No freebies around, not sellable weapons. Typical ABR balance.
COP takes all the time, since there are tons of things to do. But there is one big plus, it is a better optimization at Yanov and Pripyat, since I remade weather with less draw distance. Less fps drops and I achieved almost the same picture, may be even better.
Imgur.com
The only downside is that thre will be no such cool sunsets, sunrises and no moon at nights. You can't have everything. I chose performance. I don't present this mod as a graphical any more anyways.
So don't wait anything besides ABR COP FINAL soon.
I am also doing pretty good. Thanks for askking. I loved that you guys added detectors to soc. Just like autumn auora. What causes the lag by the bonfire though. Isnt it kinda of a strange.
Yes i do agree the yanov in your mod poorly optimized. Nah bro you shouldnt remove the cool sunsets sunrises and mooon. They were literally so beautiful. But this is your mod anyways. Ok i will be waitin for cop abr then. And do you think you will be able to release stalker soc abr by 2025. I am just asking
So used to all the bloated mods with so much graphical "enhancements" that the engine itself bottlenecks before your CPU and GPU does. This looks and runs great.
Yeah, people try to make hd everything and just ruin game's aesthetics and performance in the end.
Saddly current version has fps issues too, due to big draw distance of weather, performance will be even better with upcoming update.
greetings, man! would you mind sharing with me the name of the song you used on the 2.0 release trailer?
I just made the remix of intro. There is no name.
well, it sounds great. cheers!
thanks
can you please add open scopes as addon? like in the old versions of the mod
I like vanilla ones. You have to pay for sniping with your view field.
