been playing for a week now and LA has brought new life into good ole SoC. the graphics are nice to me and the game overall is fun. really nice work guys

while playing i get crashes like everyone else, many that i have seen referenced before (ex: contacts CTD). recently i get this new one that happens no matter what and havent found in searching. here is the bug report:

Engine error. Last line in stack trace:
D3D11CreateDeviceAndSwapChain()+613662 byte(s) C:\Windows\system32\d3d11.dll

some saves crash fast, others can play for a while. has happened in cordon and now in dark valley on the bandit doc mission

i5, 16gig, 760, win7 64bit

having a weird issue. seems that somehow my binoculars are gone. not sure how. i think i lost them in an anomaly or something. now the clip reload system doesnt seem to work...clips fill instantly while never using up empty clips or ammo. not sure if these are related.

anyplace/way to get new binocs? is the clip issue separate? i already went back through and reinstalled the scripts folder and i dont have a save with binocs.

nice mod. the graphics are nice and it runs well. the mosin is cool too.

a few issues. besides from some of the expected faction territory stuff (stalkers never take over the depot no matter how many times i/we clear it...) which plagued the original game, i can not move to dark valley. no matter which route i take...neither from the garbage nor from cordon. i get the normal load screen, it finishes, then i get a black screen with cursor. i let it sit, but no error message. i have to ctrl/alt/del to exit the game. the game is no longer running in the task bar, but i have to kill the process in the task manager. not sure what to do since i need to go there to continue the main quest. seems like i can go everywhere else.

win7 64, 3.6Ghz quad, 4 gig, GTX560, drivers up to date

nice work though!

GeoD1223 - - 23 comments @ Stalker Call of Pripyat Complete Mod Weapon Addon

theres a download link in the addons tab.

nice to see a mod that adds weapons to CoP since the stock ones are so repetitive. a few things however...some of the weapon stats are outa whack. for example the ump stock is far better than anything else which doesnt make much sense to me. for instance it has better flatness and accuracy than an upgraded lm300? and the stock rk 95 has 100% handling but handling can be still be upgraded? also, more of a minor bug: when you go to upgrade at a tech the weapon icon doesnt show up in the upgrade window. no biggie.

good job overall. will be looking forward to new developments

very nice. adding more weapons to the game would be a welcome feature. would they be upgradable?

thanks for the help, unfortunately i have already looked into this. i installed the user.ltx that came with SMP and still no luck. no matter what i have tried the mod works but everything is completely dark (even during the afternoon) like there is no light source anywhere. i completely uninstalled the game and am re-downloading with steam since LURK did more than just add a gamedata folder.

any other ideas? i have a while until its ready lol. jsut for clarification, do i install the lite updates even though i started off with full? do i install the 19+20 HF before or after this?

im having some trouble getting it to work. i read everything and installed correctly (full 2.4 then patches then options/add-ons). i was able to start a game but the entire screen is black...i can hear everything going on around me and i can interact with sid and the stalkers by the camp but i cant see anything. the headlamp doesnt work and when i sleep 5 hours its still pitch black. the hud is present but im blind.

i messed around with user.ltx, sky4ce, reinstalled (its steam-verified game cache) and deleted other mods (LURK). i have gotten all other mods to work no problem...any ideas?

this looks like a great mod and i want to give it a shot. everything is up to date driver wise, q6600, ati 5850, 4gig, win7 64 bit

open the console and type r2_sun_near 20 then enter and r2_sun_near_border 1 then enter and this should remove the shadow problems.

got the acog to work with the m4, but still not on the m16. also i cant mount the pso-1 scope on the mosin. this in very minor though. what i would like to know is if there is a way to activate all the rest of the arsenal weapons and to have them available?

i love this mod so far, the best graphics and realism i have ever seen for SoC. i have found some more bugs though. mp5 is missing weapon description, as is another gun that i cant remember, doh. also i keep getting side missions that i never accepted. i was going through the bandit camp to get borovs key when out of nowhere i was prompted to kill the bloodsuckers. i went on and did this, after getting the key, but there was no reward. i had checked the pda after i was prompted to kill them and there was no location given or even a trader to go to to get a reward. strange. this is on top of my problems with both bandit camp elimination missions in the garbage (one from bar guy and the other from sid) and a similar non-accepted side mission while in the apropom underground (i was prompted to kill the bandits and similarly there was no reward/place to get one).

go into the console and type: r2_sun_near 20.0 hit enter and then r2_sun_near_border 1.0 and hit enter. this helped out my shadow issues.

i remember it working a few years back on my 88gts 320, but as i mentioned it was horribly unstable and the performance hit was huge. if its greyed out then no dice.

try to force it through your vid cards control panel. dont think that aa works for this game with ATI, it did for NV but it made the game unstable. this was with dx9 so maybe it works with dx10/11?

seems that some side mission are still broken. after patching,i got to the bar (haddent been there yet) and took on the "eliminate the bandits in the garbage" mission. the icon for their camp was directly west of the junkyard with all of the broken down helicopters and stuff, but the camp that should have been bandits was occupied by duty and loners. i went over every inch of the garbage and killed every bandit, but it never passed.

then i have received side missions that i never took on, such as killing the bandits in the apropom underground. i killed them and when i went to the bar i got my reward as usual. weird. i have also noticed that side missions are timed even though the task_manager.ltx says differently.

i installed the incremental pack and when i went to the bar (i payed the duty officer since i havent gone to apropom yet) and my FPS seemed pretty stable throughout. so i guess that the patch worked since i wasnt experiencing the massive slowdowns that others were having.

i have noticed that some side missions may be slightly amiss. i went to the bar trader and took on the "eliminate the bandits in the garbage" mission. the icon for the bandits camp was directly west of the junkyard, yet there are no bandits there (only duty and loners). i went across the whole map and killed every bandit i saw, but the mission never completed. i then went back to cordon to sell some loot but i failed the "kill the sales rep" mission since i ran out of time. (i looked at the task manager.ltx file and it looked as if there was no time limit for side missions) i had been waiting to complete this since he was in the stalker camp in cordon and whenever i killed him every stalker turned on me. not sure what to do

great mod so far. i just gave the flash drive to sid
(with the crash patch) and all was well. but i do have a question, i was playing O L 2009 and i must say that this looks better. but for some reason both mods give me the same weird shadow problems, youtube: LURK shadow glitch . i did the usual .ltx stuff, but like with O L there was no remedy. is this a sky4ce thing, or a weather overhaul thing? or maybe an ATI thing? any suggestions are appreciated.

my only other problem is with the head bobbing. a little head bob is good for realism, but this is too much. what files do i need to alter to lessen this?
