I make cinematic music sometimes. Bleak survival games are a recent time-sink of mine: STALKER, Fallout, Far Cry 2, etc. Hopefully at some point I'll have my own games to develop or at least orchestrate music for.

I reinstalled v10 and it's working perfectly now. Not entirely sure how I managed to mess up the installation. Thanks for your help.

I'll try that - I have 1.0004... is that not the correct version?

EDIT: Or did you mean the latest ZoA patch? I've already installed that...

Yes, saves both quick and hard are subject to crashing 100% of the time.

Here's the error (from the crash log):

Hi, I have the latest version (alpha v10) installed and I cannot seem to load saves. The loading screen reaches the "synchronizing" stage, and then the game crashes. I can start a new game, and saves seem to work at first, but this happens whenever I try to load them. I'm running the correct (1.0004) version of the game. Any help would be greatly appreciated - I really want to be able to progress in this mod.

While I've no idea exactly what your role was in its production, I have to thank you for Devolution. It may be a little rough around the edges for an English-speaker like me, but overall it's absolutely wonderful.

Will this mod work with AtmosFear 3?

A Christmas or New Years release would be very welcome. I'd love to spend the long, snow-ridden days following Christmas exploring the Zaton...

Glad I'm not the only one. I need my STALKER fix, and AMK just isn't cutting it.

I'm certain this has been asked before, but is there any chance of removing/limiting the checkpoint respawning? Travel is such a slog in this game because of this.

I'm repeatedly amazed by the sheer amount of content in this mod. Devs have done an incredible job packing it all together, and so far it seems fairly coherent.

I guess my only major complaint is the very lengthy loading screens, which is only an issue because of the high player death rate. (Quicksave, Die, Load game, rinse, repeat.) But this seems to be getting better with every patch, so hopefully it'll eventually be close to Vanilla SHoC load times.

Haha thanks David. Does it wear off if I don't use the med item? Cheers.

I'm playing SGM 2.1 still, I've been enjoying it immensely but recently I've noticed some kind of meteor or eye-shaped icon on the right of my screen like the hunger and bleeding icons, but I don't recognize it. My screen is also darkening and flashing repeatedly since this happened - what's causing this, and how do I fix it? Bug or gameplay element?
