Первый. Дождались! СоР версию уже до дыр затер в ожидании. После финала сразу же начинаю новую игру и не могу остановиться :). Очень нравится проработка оружия, апгрейдов и обновленная графика. Теперь настал черед CS. Благодарю за очередной повод вернуться на просторы Зоны с новыми ощущениями.
Рад слышать. Удачи.
Not working crashes at startup on a fresh install.

Same
Fixed
Yes, sorry about that. My apologies to all.
Due to an error on my part, one of the required bin files is missing.
The main download will be updated sometime soon.
Fixed
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
The mod will be updated in a couple of hours.
1.0.1
Tbb.dll error is fixed
Separate update for 1.0.1 from 1.0 - Mega.nz
Long story short. I didn't recheck mod on fresh installation. Wanna blame anybody, blame me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Didn't expect it as early as july, downloading rn, bless
Yeah. Probably should wait a month or so. But anyway somebody will find a bug or something sooner or later and it will need to be updated.
At least I hope you will be able to launch the mod. Good luck
Been playing for a couple of hours, no crashes or ctd so far. I'm at cordon after giving Sid the tools, just the usual potato ai :D
Oh, yeah, welp, we did everything we could to this game. Implementing any AI mod would break the faction war or quests, I'm sure for 100%, so the mod is just a better wrapper for CS. Play once and forget, hehe :)
Just be sure to save every here and then, sometimes game crashes on the garbage, so called "unfixable CS routine".
Been playing for quite some time and I'm almost at red forest without ctd, pretty smooth sailing so far.
Don't know if it's a specific mod's bug but in certain weather condition corpses and your first person model are completely black:

Shakarov when buying guns from you he equips them, maybe it wasn't meant for him to buy guns in the first place, so I would call it a minor problem:
Steamcommunity.com
When selling to him shotgun standard ammos you get 0 rubles in return:
Steamcommunity.com
If anything new comes up, I'll report it to you
>Been playing for quite some time and I'm almost at red forest without ctd, pretty smooth sailing so far.
You're lucky.
>Don't know if it's a specific mod's bug but in certain weather condition corpses and your first person model are completely black:
It happenes, don't know why and how to fix that, thsi happens even ABR COP.
>Shakarov when buying guns from you he equips them, maybe it wasn't meant for him to buy guns in the first place, so I would call it a minor problem:
Well, he bought ammo in vanilla anyways, so I've added weapons too.
>When selling to him shotgun standard ammos you get 0 rubles in return:
That's a vanilla thing. He's got very low buying prices for ammo, may be he should just sell stuff, not buy it. But then you will have to fast travell somewhere else, just to sell guns if you play solo run and looted zombies, so kinda 50\50. Who knows what is better here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>If anything new comes up, I'll report it to you
Thanks. But I think you passed all the dangerous places. So no problems ahead, I guess.
P.S. Ahhhhh, I remembered why I did not added weapon selling to him earlier, then Saharov has a gun in his hand, yeah, probably will fix that, and ammo prices too.
This was my first time in 50 hours of playing the vanilla game that I found out about the shooting range at the Duty camp :D
Are you going to tweak the prize to make it more rewarding in a future update?
I'm forgetting about that mini game everytime, nah, probably will leave it as it was in vanilla.
The new engine (bin folder) is compatible with the original game?
Can you release it as a separate download?
Ah, "advanced" video options tab is pretty empty (just some options, so i must tweak all via console)
>The new engine (bin folder) is compatible with the original game?
No, it needs tweaks.
>Can you release it as a separate download?
I have no such plans.
>Ah, "advanced" video options tab is pretty empty
You can restore them, check addons folder.
Hi,I got error at cordon after stalker squad killed random monsters,idk which spawn point exactly
stack trace:
0023:6C0D2F3A xrGame.dll, CxImage::`copy constructor closure'() + 1753162 byte(s)
[error][ 8]: Not enough memory resources are available to process this command.
btw,great mod!
Just load the savegame. This error happens when x-ray got bored. For me one-two crashes happen on Garbage.
Probably stalker tried to throw a nade and boar ate him.
I reload a saved game and something wierd happened,I cannot see my gun O.o I can hear shooting,but there is no gun xD any advice hahah?
That's strange, check options "show weapon"
I did but nothing's change..strange bug :)
Send me a save file. Or try to delete user.ltx and set settings again. I had this once on swamps, somehow there was mess with it, and some dialogue turned weapons off. Are you sure you turned weapons on? Were they off? IDK. Strange.
Or send me save file AND user.ltx. May be I'll find something.
I reinstall mod,save game deleted but I will send you if it happens again
Why deleting saves, I meant delete user.ltx file only to reset settings. And how did you fixed that, that's important since some other people might have this bug too, I need to tell them how to fix that, right?
As I remember deleting user.ltx helped with this. I just don't understand why this happened to you on Cordon.
Sorry,but I reinstall game and mod and all files was deleted.I will send you log if it happens again.Btw,do I need to apply patch from Mega.nz or it's already included in downloaded files?
here's my new error log,occur when trying to start a game from steam
Mega.nz
You are probably missing tbb.dll, thats exactly what the crash log looks like when that happens.
this was the initial problem, but the .dll is included in the now updated mod download.
yeah,I even download bin folder with that file from mega and applied it but still the same,weird.
I'm not sure how thats possible. You should not be having such errors. please re-check everything.
unpack with 7zip, turn off antivirus/win defender, whitelist your install directory, fresh reinstall, start a new game.
I really have no other suggestions man.
1.0.2
Saharov doesn't buy ammo for 0
Saharov doesn't buy weapons to avoid him standing with it
Correct mod version in main menu
7.62x54 mm AP and 7.62x54 mm 7N14 description on italian fixed
Credits files fixed
Language text forced switchers added (all 10 vanilla localizations)
updated or?
yep,updated,thank you :)
Still can't run the game? Tried to delete user.ltx or something?
Just minor updates. Nothing special.
I will try now,was bussy this week,if something goes wrong,I will send you a log
I see. Ok then.
Could you release the patch seperately?
No. People tend to miss patches. I had this with old ABR COP. Then I will have questions about old bugs over and over again.
After new update the game crash again with this error
xrEngine.exe caused BREAKPOINT in module "C:\Windows\System32\KERNELBASE.dll" at 0023:778244E2, DebugBreak()+2 byte(s)
FATAL ERROR
[error] Expression : I

[error] Description : Can't find include file:
[error] Arguments : mp\anticheat_active_params.ltx
I just clean install the game and now its work.... Do I need to clean install my game everytime this mod update?
The update didn't touch this file. This is vanilla file which is included to the game. I tested the update with the old saves and I never had this. Such a crash happened to other mods such as hardwar, ogsm, complete. There is still no answer why this happen to CS. And why game can't find its own vanilla file.
You are the second person who said this happened. To other one this happened on the start of the game, on initial release, without this patch. So I don't think this patch have something to do with this error. Something wron with the game itself, what's in particular I don't know yet. To fix the issue, I need to know why this happenes. If you still had it, may be we could try to fiddle with files and make a fix, but since you reinstall the game already and fixed this issue, I can't make anything, since I can't cause this issue artificially and it's never happened to me and my team mates. We tested mod both on gog and steam versions.
Oh I see thank you for your answer!
and yeah maybe something wrong with my pc 🥲
Nah. That's something wrong with CS as a software.
Something is limiting the FPS to 125?
Yes, there is a default fps cap.
you can set fps lock a little higher with the launch flag -fpslock144, or unlock FPS with -nofpslock.
Also V-Sync works now too, if you are interested in it.
why can't I change the graphics settings ?
you can, just add use the "more expert options" in the !addons folder
