S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Pripyat: Redux v1.05b Patch file

The Abakan's rate of fire is a mistake made by the developers, I imagine taken from RCOM. In RCOM, it had 1800 RPM rate of fire, but it was only in single or two round burst mode. About the 5.56 and 5.45 doing more damage than 9x39, that does need to be corrected in my opinion. The bullet, being 9mm in diameter, should do a reasonable amount of damage compared to 5.45 and 5.56, because of it's sheer weight and size. Besides, the 5.56 isn't very efficient with most rifles it uses, as the rifling on the barrels basically makes it into a .22 LR. Not having a crosshair is realistic; people know where the bullets will hit without the ironsight or crosshair in real life, so why do you need it in-game? I do think that bodies should carry at least one or maybe five magazines from the weapon they were using. Not that you should have all of that ammo, but it would create something useful to sell.

You know nothing of the 5.56. When fired from an M16A4, it is accurate in excess of 400 meters.

It's speed is over 940 M/s (3100 FT/s)

It's also very accurate when used in an American style barrel (1 and 7 or 9 twist)

But you probably don't understand what I'm saying...considering you think a thicker bullet automatically means "more powerful"...lol

Way to correct me three years later, bub. I've learned quite a bit between then and now about weapons and ballistics, and agree with you on all points. M193 in particular was excellent for mutilating tissue because of its instability in flight, so much that other countries considered it inhumane and refused to adopt the round until the Belgians came up with the SS109. Sorry if my former ignorance bothered you, but you should consider that a lot of time has passed.

In my experience (teaching infantry recruits), unless they look down the sights you have absolutely no idea where the rounds will end up...:)

Which building? Have you tried the barge at the start of the game? How about where you find the sleeping BloodSuckers?

its easier to use the console command 'hud_crosshair on' when you start a session then when you load a save reopen the console and press up arrow for the same command and hit enter. much less annoying than doing it through menu each time.

I found a better way to re-enable crosshair the same night as my earlier comment. In game directory, default is 'C:\Program Files\bitComposer Games\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Pripyat', locate file 'user_atmosfear.ltx' and open with Notepad and edit last line 'hud_crosshair off' to 'hud_crosshair on', crosshair is now enabled at all times from start up.

I would be almost as unsuccessful without the crosshair as I would without invert mouse.

well you can't obviously shoot on mid-long distance, without crosshair you can fit in close distance, just like you would do with a shotgun.. invert mouse? i really can't imagine how you can aim with that, i guess you're used to :D

You need either "Redux Base" which is a lite version without graphical upgrades or "Redux Full" and the newest patch "1.05b". But i still wouldn't bet for it to run completely crash free.

OK, thanks.

Should work. Just run the game through COP.exe in the steam folder not through Steam client (shut steam down while playing COP with mods). Some mods don't like Steam for only God knows what reasons.
