Okay, thank you guys, thought I've downloaded all the 'regular' zip files, but must have missed that one.

To the devs: Thanks for this GREAT and fun game.
And now something completely different. I just wanted to upgrade my binoculars and after I got them back from the mechanic, everything was turned upside down (even after the higher tier upgrades - and I know that this is the way pictures end up in our eyes and it's just our brain that turns it around again, but this is a game and I don't want it to be too realistic). I wonder whether this is a side effect from one of the mods I've installed or a bug in the 'vanilla' anomaly game.

For anybody who encounters this bug, this is how a made it:

like 5thHorseman said i run with the messenger back and forth a couple of times and then I asked for the code while still in Dead City near the level changer. He gave it to me and we parted, don't know what he did afterwards. I proceeded to army warehouse and no crash.

Thanks for the tip, but....

any other ideas? Tried this a couple of times and it didn't work out. My game crashed every time after I received the code from the meesenger.

And this bug for sure is gamebreaking

You usually find that pistol on a bandit somewhere in the garbage or the dark valley (it's an upgraded Desert Eagle). I usually find it with one of the bandits that attack the big building in the middle of garbage, forgot its name ;).

The location marker with this quest is NOT very helpful.

Cheerio

If your not playing Freedom, the freedom leader has relocated to Jupiter - it's told in one of the excerpts during the loading screen (at least there is where I've found him).
The technician is somewhere around the Army Warehouse hanging around and smoking. From what I've heard here you have to increase your goodwill with freedom to have him help you with your weapons and armor.

Okay, I'll try that. Thanks a lpt for the answer.

Edit: No, doesn't seem to work this way in Anomaly. You get just one save (an autosave) and that one is at the transition point on the destination map. But thanks anyway.

Thanks for the answer, but what do you mean by "travel to ..."?

Loot beyond the border
First I want to thank the people who made this mod, really good work, gameplay, balance - a pleasure to play.
And a quick question: is there any way to get the loot of killed enemies that are beyond the 'invisible wall'? I shot some Monolith that are beyond the transit point from Rostok to Army warehouse and it looked like one of them had a FN F2000 that I want to lay my hands on.

Hy,
I got a problem with the questline addon. Each time I install zhe DrX questline addon, I can't start the game. No matter how many other addons I installed, after installing questline I get the following fatal error report:

As I said, no matter whether it is a 'vanilla' CoC or same other addons have been installed, as soon as questlinie enters the arena, the game crashes to desktop.

Any idea or even better, help ?

edit 1
Sorry, just realized that I didn't install the latest patch.
By the way, I didn't find a note to this patch on the CoC download page, wouldn't it be nice if there was a link or at least a notification?

edit 2
dam', just found out there is. looks like one of those days.

Sorry for any inconvenience

I didn't see my former post due to a refresh failure

Thanks for all the work you are putting in this.

I got an installation problem. After downloading and extracting the zipfile I extract it to a separate folder. Then I run the extended_pack_LostAlpha_DC application, it checks the the md5 and says everything is ok(successfull). Then the setup starts and I choose full installation.
Then a pop up appears telling me I:
"You have to enter afull path with drive letter, for example.....",
but I didn't even have the chance to enter a drive letter during the installation.

So what am I doing wrong?

This is the game's way to punish you for being to fond of alcohol! ;)

Thanks, finally found it. How did I miss this room when I've been spending almost 1 realtime hour running through these buildings?

In my installation of the game the description of the Night Star says it "demands the neutralization of deadly radiation" and the +25 is written in red (red = danger, ;) ), so ether your installation is corrupt or you understood something wrong

Before going to the NPP I wanted to take a last look around. I came to Dark Valley and saw a stash I've forgotten, called "Lucky son of a bitch's winnings" in the former bandits camp. I've been running around the camp (I can't access the bandits armory) for quite some time now and unable to get to that stash.

Is it in the armory? Or somewhere else?

Just found one of these 'more', a monolith sniper blew himself up and left it for me in an accessible house - by the way, somebody should teach those enemy npcs how to use a handgranade, they (monolith, bandits,mercs) perpetually blow themself into oblivion.

I don't know whether I like it or not (I tend to not), it's a little bit to "Fallout" like, the same with the exoskelett and some of the other suits. Wonder if I'm going to find a phaser or a neutron-plasma accelerator gun?

Thanks for the reply, but I had to take care of that sniper from afar. So I guess his rifle is unreachable for me now.

I finally made it to Pripyat and I'm now engaged in the firefight. I'm shot at from the second floor of a house and the enemy's gun is making this wierd sound, which made me curious. I sneaked around the house but couldn't find an unblocked/open entrance to it. Are there inaccessible houses in Pripyat or do I have to look around some more?

There is only one entrance from the military warehouse, isn't there? Or is there another one?
I just reloaded an old save and entered radar from warehouse - no officer to bribe but immediate and deadly fire instead.
I know I could just teleport to countryside and go on, but it really bothers me that I can't do it the way the devs created the level.

I'm a rather bad shooter, so I prefer to either talk my way through or sneak around, so shooting my way would be a long, long shoot, get shot, load autosave, shoot, get shot.... - well, you get it - session.
It's quite a long time since I played 1.300?, and in 1.4002 I just came to Pripyat outskirts and then 1.4005 arrived, but if I remember correctly, there was something with the monolith leader and some weird creature in radar.

Just looked up in my ingame PDA and it says -5000 with monolith! How the hell could that happen?
Is there any way to cheat my way around this, 'cause I'll never be able to shoot my way through radar, besides I want the quest you'll get at radar.

So I got the "Meet the scientist" quest. The only way to reach the scientist at ther concrete factory coming from Pripyat outskirts seems to be going via radar.

Unfortunatly the monolith over there (Itried both entries, from the west and the south) shot at me at sight. In the previous versions of Lost Alpha you had the chance to bribe your way in (paying 5.000 rubels). Is this meant to be or did I just screw my game by doing samething wrong accidently?

As far as I remember I didn't shoot any monolith besides those in Dark Valley, and that seemed to be unavoidable.

So do I have to shoot my way through radar to get to the scientist?

That's where I looked for them, but there were no zombies at all. Maybe I've been killing them earlier, though I don't remember doing this.

Thanks, I'll try this then. Use the detector :\, probably forgot about that since the usual detctors are close to useless.

Okay, I'm lost in the Yantar underground. Two missions I'm not able to finish.

1. is "Kill the radar zombies". They're nowhere. Neither in the underground nor in the wilderness. No Zombies (I killed those zombies in the underground, but I guess those are not the 'radar-zombies', right?).

2. Get the suit for nimble. I saw the brain, went back to the prof, talked to him, got those two (?) devices (PSI-1 brain wave scanner & PSI blocker), put the brain wave scanner on my belt (but what are you supposed to do with the psi blocker, I can't double click on it, I can't put it on my belt?), killed the controller, and each time I'm getting closer to the suit it's "game over" for no particular reason. Even trying to sneak around along the wall ends in a "Game over"?

I'm lost :(, any help appreciated.

Actually you can jump and grab some of the ammo in there, though only shotgun ammo is in reach :)

Has anyone else noted the Lost Alpha Developers/dezOwave put pictures of themself into the game?

I would be carefull with those artifacts. The hunger and thirst they evoke can 'hit' you in the middle of a firefight. You either have to take a lot of food/water with you, or those artifacts will betray you ;D

Happend to me early in the game.

I take it as a part of the immersion: there are some things in life you can't set right after they've been done, and so it is in Lost Alpha
