Still having the PAGE_FAULT error even after trying both the Recommended and Steam extended xrgame.dll files. I believe I've had this issue before and if I remember correctly it was due to my Creative Xfi soundcard. A fix was posted, but I have been unsuccessful in locating the fix again.

I installed everything including the latest micro patches. Unfortunately I am having a BSOD when I try to start the game. It's "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA", and I don't remember how to remedy this particular error. Any help would be most appreciative, I really want to play STALKERSOUP.

I'm simply posting to say that this looks absolutely incredible! Stealth is like a drug to me, one that's currently in dangerous short supply! Just can't believe how AMAZING this total conversion really looks, this doesn't even resemble Doom 3 in any way. I am in total support of The Dark Mod, so count me as a new supporter! I'll be checking back frequently to see any new progress.

Alright, having played with the new STALKER: Call of Priypat mods(AI Tweaks and NPC Simulation), I've come to the realization that stealth is the last thing that CoP needs in order to be turned into a brand new game. Holden, give AI Tweaks + NPC Simulation a try, they completely change the game and might make you try your hand at modding CoP.

The world of STALKER comes alive with these mods as characters literally live in the world, fighting for supremacy, taking up shelter during blowouts, going on artefact hunts, warding off mutants, and giving you the best damn AI you've seen in any FPS ever. Please Holden, give CoP a try with these mods, they might give you a new reason to start LURK back up or change to CoP modding.

Is this the same Holden? Says ChrisHolden is the creator of "Old Town", which is a stand alone game based on the UDK.

I'd like to ask a question that I don't think was answered. How will stealth/sneaking be handled in LA? Have you done anything to the AI to make it less bionic eyed/hearing?

Hm. Will stealth be a viable option in upcoming patches? I was wearing the cape/robe that said it should make you hard to see in the dark, while using a silenced pistol, wore a helmet outfitted with night vision, and was double crouching in the dark and was still seen almost immediately. Is the AI going to get an upgrade in future patches? Love the mod.

Just a quick question. This mod is working fantastic on my system with very little performance problems, so what I want to ask is, is stealth possible with this mod? Has anything been done to the AI to make it harder for them to spot you in the night or anything of that nature?

This mod makes everything beautiful, but stealth is what I'm desperately searching for in STALKER since it forces you to change all your tactics. GSC Gameworld gave all the components for stealth such as silencers, double crouching, pitch black nights, enemy sight and hearing, but when it comes down to it they can spot you extremely quick which ruins immersion for me.

So is there, or will there be, any changes of this nature to the AI of the game in regards to stealth? Just tossing this out there.

Whoa...I mean, WOW! This is something really unique that I was not expecting from this Mod. I'm waiting for LURK 1.1...and NOW I'm waiting for Lost Alpha. I can only imagine the other cool things you're doing with LA. Good luck with LA guys, I can wait for a damn good mod like this!

So, have you guys done some more things this time with the stealth system or is it mostly/exactly the same system as in 1.05?

If the stealth is anything like what you're describing, then you've got me salivating. You were completely right about stealth being the biggest downer in STALKER. All this fantastic lighting, complex AI, amazing architecture, etc. and you couldn't use ANY OF IT! I await your 1.1 now with fervor...I hope what you've described is accurate, cause I'm gonna play the hell out of it! 1.05 almost seems like a teaser now compared to 1.1...

The entire reason that I registered is simply to tell you that LURK is the best damn mod that I have ever played. It literally changes the entire game of STALKER to very close to what I envisioned when I first saw the game.

I actually beat the game with the LURK mod for the full C-Con ending, never would have done that without the mod, because vanilla Stalker is rather broken. The stealth makes the game change immensely, watching the lights of enemies and lightning through ceiling cracks and window sills makes me feel like I could be killed at any time and ratchets up the intensity 10 fold. Your mod deserves to be called incredible, I'm actually holding off playing LURK again until the 1.1 update comes out, not only because of how many changes will be made with it, but due to the fact that it's so genuinely addicting and deserves to be played more than once! I'm gonna play the HELL out of 1.1 when it releases, please take your time to make another awesome LURK update!
