The latest installment in the versions of L.U.R.K. for Shadow of Chernobyl.
This is the archived installation for L.U.R.K. 1.1. This version is intended for people who do not want registry entries. If you've played the previous version of L.U.R.K., or more specifically 1.0552 or any previous to it, you should know that it is now recommended that you do not use the -noprefetch command in your target box. It is not required to do prefetching this time, however it is recommended now, because we have optimized prefetching data so that it is much, much faster, and will lower the amount of in game stuttering to a degree much more similar to umodified vanilla. We hope to expand upon this in the future but for now it will only serve to minimalize the stutterring that was otherwise infrequent.
Prerequisite Requirements: In terms of system requirements, any system capable of running S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl vanilla should be at the very least scalable to L.U.R.K. 1.1. Running Full Dynamic Lighting is a much more intensive process now, however if you're experiencing performance issues, then you should refer to step 2 before disabling full dynamic lighting.
Step 1: Copy the gamedata folder into your S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl directory, if you own the retail version, it should look something like this: "\THQ\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl". Otherwise, you can find the folder in your "Steam\steamapps\common" if you own the Steam version. If they're not in either locations then you may own a different version then that and I'd hope that you could elaborate the location of the folder yourself. Otherwise you can use the Windows search function and look for "StalkerUserManual.pdf" which will lead you to the directory youj will need to copy the contents of the gamedata folder to.
Step 2: Choose the graphical settings that best suit your system's specifications in the "Graphical Settings" folder. Optimized is best suited for system's with Video Card's with less then 1GB of Graphics Memory, less then 3GB or RAM, and CPU's that are less then two cores or prior to the Core 2 Duo generation for Intel. The changes to the optimized version include less draw distance, no depth of field, less soft Screen Space Ambient Occlusion, lower shadow map resolution, and no dynamic soft shadow jitter. The Gamedata folder defaults all graphical settings to Extreme so it is very important that you refer to this step. Please note that the average system recommendations are rough guesstimates and may be subject to opinion based on your framerate performance preference.
Optional Step: If you are experiencing issues, then you might want to try setting the $game_data$ lines in your fsgame.ltx both to true. I've tested this without using the fsgame line change and haven't experienced any issues, but it's something you might want to try if you're experiencing issues.
Where are The Options?: They'll come after there's been some cooking time for the current build. Until then I'm more concerned about addressing issues with the existing build before unfurling a load of optionals. Thanks for you patience.

Finally, my life has purpose once again.
lol i love your comment XD
whoa +43 take a one from me to
A+ to whoever approved it.
Assuming because the previous release of lurk required stalker to be patched to 1.0005, that this release will require that aswell?
As mentioned in previous updates, it's a standalone.
Also note, 'full version' in description.
No I was referring to the patching for Vanilla stalker, not to patching LURK itself. (ie; why I didn't say LURK 1.0552, I said Stalker 1.0005)
Oh, right, I thought you meant lurk version, derp :<
Most modifications these days base themselves off of the Stalker v1.0005. So I presume it will be the same for this mod.
HOLY ****!!!!!!!!!! OMG... DOWNLOADING while crying :')
Downloading...I can finally get some sleep after reading that news post at the beginning of the this week.

After using Complete '09 for about a year, I've been waiting for this. Beautiful job.
Agreed, I've been playing complete for far too long. Time for something new.
Yea, same here. Complete is great, but it doersn't have much **** YEA. LURK, however, has 80% more **** YEA then Complete, and is therefore **** YEA-tastic.
What are you talking about? Complete has no **** YEAR at all. Lurk is where it's at.
YES. I HAVE SOMETHING TO OCCUPY MYSELF WITH. THANK YOU.

Not everyone needs/has to speak or write in english fluently. And before you whine "wahhh its an english site so you better learn english". So what if it is an english site. There is no rule or anything that ones grammar should be perfect. As long as others can understand the message it IS fine.
You're responding to comments that are 2+ years old, bro.
YES! Downloading right now. Thank you guys for your hard work.

Looks pretty good, but is there some way I can stretch my inventory and conversation screen? It seem like it requires widescreen.

Although I'm loving this mod right now, anyway to turn down the bloom? Something in the gamefiles I can adjust?
DONLOAD... faster!!!
