In 1986, the world's worst nuclear disaster occurred at the Chernobyl power station. Soviet authorities established a 30km 'Exclusion Zone' around this nuclear wasteland, but in 2006 a second explosion rocked the stricken reactor, obliterating all living things and causing the Zone's boundaries to ripple outwards. From this epicenter came waves of mutated creatures, deadly radiation, and a strange, anomalous energy. The Zone was cordoned off by the military, who would shoot on sight anyone foolish enough to brave the horrors within.
It is now 2012 - man has ventured further and further into the heart of the Zone driven by reports of strange 'artifacts' imbued with anomalous energy. Mercenaries and bounty hunters compete to recover these artifacts, which command extortionate prices on the black market. Others seek to find the truth behind the Zone, while some merely revel in the desolate lawlessness of the place. Whatever their motivation, over time these individuals - Scavengers, Trespassers, Adventurers, Loners, Killer, Explorers and Robbers - have become known as S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s.

Good news, everyone! :)
Last post wasn't capable to contain all graphics features. So let it be another one.
- Improved shadow map resolution. Stalker engine uses cascaded shadow map technology, so quality of shadows depends on resolution of corresponding texture with shadow map. Normally you can choose this resolution by using keys for stalker shortcut: -smap1536/smap2048/smap2560/smap3072/smap4096, where number is shadow map texture resolution. Also, this resolution have huge influence on high quality shadow distance (r2_sun_near console parameter). Exceeding some max distance you will see annoying stripes on all of the surfaces. For example, for -smap4096 max r2_sun_near value is only 35-50 meters.
We manage to add new shadow map resolution - 8192x8192 (-smap8192). It works well on any videocards that support DX10 and have 512 Mb of videomemory (minimum GF 8xxx and Radeon HD 2xxx). On these screens you can feel the difference:
But that's not all :) There will be another key - -smap16384 which can improve shadows quality even further! But for get it working you should prepare videocard with DX11 support and 1,5 Gb videomemory on-board :)
- Thermal vision. Well, it is not actually infrared vision but some kind of it. We will add some devices with it so you can use new tactical moves in combat. Watch the video.

Why is there no mention of the amazing "STALKERSOUP" mod, by the talented TecnoBacon and his Team?
STALKERSOUP is pretty annoying how it takes 10 minutes to load a map and theres so many bugs
Because it's a pain in the *** to find and get it running. Why isn't STALKERSOUP on ModDB?
DL be nice, cheers. Direct Dowload is a sign up and pay for so like er no. Any other places?
First Loads the same.
Looking for goods mods that improve visuals & gameplay, but do not amp the difficulties to insanes levels.
If you're still looking, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Complete is pretty much exactly what you ask for. It improves visuals and gameplay by a good margin, and is the mod that remains the closest to the Vanilla experience. Highly recommended, but the Complete mods do require a good machine to be ran sufficiently.
It was the first mod I tried and finished and I agree 100% with your comments. I have found a few other mods now GOSE, Stalkersoup & Spartan 11 11. I have just have to except most stalker mods made are a lot bloody harder.
Mostly because they want to add the experience of actual survival in Stalker (besides Soup's Wizard-like difficulty) that the games dont really get into very well. Not many STALKER mods expand on/improve Vanilla besides Complete, albeit Ive never really used that one.
STALEKR 2 is NOT cancelled, however, we will not see its release before 2013... GSC is not closing down (at the moment).
