bruh i just wanted to fool around and use the spawner. TO my amazement the vehicles in call of chernobyl are 1000x better than any other vehicle mod ive tried. You can actually drive around in this game with a strong durable vehicle and anomalies effect your car very little (its actually realistic that way like the cars heavy)

you gotta use version 1.4 (1.4.2 works also) and add -dbg to the end of the target box if you create a shortcut to the stalker-coc executable

then press esc s to open the spawn menu while in game. o to start engine. Its incredible.

then i guess the 2019 64bit build made itself

NEGATIVE POST ONLY READ WHEN FEELING STRONG

i just smoked through all 3 vanilla stalker games. And im not gonna lie it hurt my opinions of lost alpha. Lost alpha should EASILY be the best stalker game. But sadly it is not. The issues im talking about are nothing technical or anything like that, Just bad decisions.

Why is the movement speed 2x slower in lost alpha? The vanilla movement speed is 1000x better. I knew something felt off about the movement speed in LA. Whos idea was it to make stalker way larger and also make the movement speed slower?

Lost alpha just has way too many anomalies, plain and simple, to the point where it actually seems like a troll job. Whats the point of adding vehicles to the world of stalker if you cant even drive them? A more fitting name for this game would be MINESWEEPER 2022

why are animals nearly invincible in lost alpha? I KNEW THAT WAS RIDICULOUS! and i was right! They actually die in the vanilla stalker games. One pistol headshot to a dog kills it. As it should.

it take 10-12 autoshotgun headshots to kill a boar in lost alpha. ONE SINGLE BOAR. ON NOVICE!! Thats just straight up embarassing and makes the game look horrible. I didnt discover until 200 gameplay hours in that boars heads were armored. That is extremely stupid. Its an ANIMAL!! Not to mention waiting for the boar to run past you so you can shoot it in the legs/*** is profoundly unsatisfying and unenjoyable

At least provide the player with a gameplay solution to all these anomalies, UV car headlights or something that could pick up anomalies would be epic. or NVG that can see all anomalies. Or even better just delete 95% of the anomalies in lost alpha. Clear sky only puts anomalies in scary looking areas that look dangerous. And its much more realistic that way

I wish there was a device that could permanently destroy anomalies. The fixed static nature of anomalies is unrealistic. Shouldnt they go away during different times of day and stuff? I know that would be hard to implement but the current system is just unacceptable. Its annoys me when such a grandiose game is effected so globally by something so shallow and mindless. Just like radstorms. They should be called game breaker bug storms. Ive literally never seen one work seamlessly. And i experienced like 70.

Lost alpha wants the player dead. Plain and simple. The vanilla game does not want the player dead. Thats why the vanilla game is 1000x better imo.

Needing like 700 saves to complete a game isnt fun imo. You are just forcing the player to go back in time constantly with these ridiculous anomalies

i want to play lost alpha again in the future, but all the shallow artificial sufferings ruin the game. And the food water stamina stuff is all just so annoying and unrealistic and stupid feeling. mods are supposed to make games funner not worse. Like why am i allowed to drag a body with 500KG of loot in the vanilla games but im not allowed in lost alpha? sadge

and why do we need to open our bag every second to click on ammo? Wtf? Whos idea was the belt thing? And why can we see our equipped items in trade window in lost alpha?

The vanilla games literally fixed all the issues i was having with lost alpha. Stalker is a fun action game with monsters and sci fi stuff. Not a hardcore walking simulator

The hunger/thirst system is the most annoying i have ever seen in a game before. It adds absolutely nothing to the game. Who plays stalker to eat food?

Just thinking about playing lost alpha and needing to sleep and eat and drink so i dont die in my sleeping bag. UGH NEVER AGAIN!! NEVER

honestly someone just needs to add cars to vanilla stalker and that would be 10000x better than lost alpha

Whats with the stamina system in this game? Is it possible the person who made this mod is a homosexual? Why would anyone on this planet want to hear breathing in their ear the whole time they play?

After playing and beating LAR, i downloaded OGSR, anomaly, and gamma

lost alpha is 10000x better than them all.

Lost alpha has such masterful texturework that it actually looks photorealistic. Best textures than ive ever seen in my life. Hands down. And i am even counting/considering all the AAA games ive played in my life

and i didnt realize that bringing a car into a different zone is actually a big deal. because no other mods can do that

The only thing better about OGSR is the headlamp does not float above your player. But the third person driving camera in OGSR is broken to hell

Lost alpha is the best open world singleplayer game ever made in all history. But i did get saddened by the fact that at the very end of the game i learned barkeep sold vehicles in prior versions of the game. I WOULD LOVE THAT OMG what happened to that? Is there any way i can see the other vehicles? SO far ive only collected 3 different model white cars and an epic blue tractor. But i coulda swore someone said theres a UAZ somewhere

this mod sucks. I have to turn god mode on in novice difficulty and its still hard somehow. The enemies melee you if you get within 15 feet of them and you lose your gun

you drink vodka and the people who made this think its ok to endure 30 minutes of camera swinging. The turn off feeling bad effects option simply does nothing.

dogs can kill a full grown adult man soldier in 2 bites, and they can practically fly

its cheaper to buy a new car than a can of gas for the car. HAHAHAHAHHA

how can anyone literally experience this game? its impossible

this mod seem autistic in comparison to stalker lost alpha revisited. Not even comparable.

and the graphics are horribly fruity and vibrant, and there is some sort of volumetric fog making the entire game look dull and washed out. The grass isnt even grass its just hot-green bushes that look disgusting in comparison to the vibe of the world around it

im curious what the people who made this mod look like, they HAVE to be retarded, theres no way they cant be. The surge storms are like 30 minutes in duration. They think we are just going to sit there for 30 minutes? Theres no way they cant be retarded. Absolutely no way

the minute you click new game you are essentially dying. What a horrible game

you have to make 700 saves just to play through a single mission in this game. They made a guy in the first camp able to survive like 13 makarov headshots

ON NOVICE. THE EASIEST DIFFICULTY. Its impossible. The enemies guns work perfectly and they fire fully automatic, and they can melee you, and shoot through trees. Worst game i ever played. At least stalker lost alpha developers understood this and allowed armor to save you

Just finished. Its even 10x more true thats the best singleplayer game i ever played in my life. The ending made me sad tho.

The game just cutscenes you and its over. No chance to even try on the 4x armor sets found inside pripyat underground

A better ending would be a fasttravel guy appears right near the monolith building right outside, and all zones and skies become clear and anomalies go away so we can now go play the game. IM just getting started why would they do me like that?

god that game was so amazing i want to play only this for the rest of my life

Noooo what happened to the fast travel guy at bar? NOOOO i have like 4000KG worth of stuff in my storage at bar. Bruh... I been loving the game but this makes me not want to keep playing (jk im gonna keep playing as this is best game i ever played but still.. damn dude thats cold blooded)

bar practically SCREAMS "this is the place to store all your loot".

Hey liquid i got a question about the game, what does "strengthening of the vest 2nd class" actually do? It doesnt seem to effect any of the stats

also power restore, it says increases mobility in bulky armor, but it seems i run the same speed im not really sure

the more i play this the more clear its the best game i ever played in my life, i just got purple beads (wish i knew of these like 200 gameplay hours ago lol then i wouldnt have had to use cheat engine 2x gamespeed this whole time)

yeah i know sorry its just new to me personally so i have a selfish excitement for the game. Its better than any new game so i keep forgetting

and no, i wouldnt try to mod it, games like this cant just have any ole person working on it, only a sacred few (like yourself) have that right by god.

I seriously dont even mod games as good as this, nor do i change the difficulty, the developers are gods, and i would never dare insult them

i just experienced a radstorm in the building (the same one where you need to RPG the red barrels on the ship) and i kind of regret saying the radstorm frequency is too high. Because that was INSANE and i love the radstorms

and the mechanic of the anomalies eating creatures then spitting out artifacts.. absolutely BRILLIANT

just curious does the survival stat increase probability of succesfully aquiring monster parts? It seems like it does but i cant confirm

oh and the loot being unique and always different is something AAA developers arent willing to do anymore. 10/10

All the RPG stats and ways to increase your stamina and things? MASTERFUL

i could write a book on how this is above and beyond the best singleplayer game ever made. By MILES

lol i dont think even YOU know how good this game is (sarcasm), if a reputable reviewer did a playthrough of this game it would go absolutely viral. This game is 1000x better than my Red dead redemption2 playthrough (which i also think is amazing game)

I was just standing on a roof in dead city, and a radstorm was approaching. But I was very far from any safe place. The closest one was in the swamp/woods a bit. I jumped off the roof. Ran across two adorable wood plank bridges. Killed 3-4 swampbeasts while running backwards, Found 3 enemies sitting in the safezone shack. So i fought them to the death and only had like 1HP remaining. This game is so original and unique and gorgeous

Then in dead city i drove to this little alcove area, and to get there i crossed over this cryengine-looking GORGEOUS concrete bridge. The alcove graveyard with fire anomalies and it looked gorgeous

This game has hundreds of bizzarely original breathtaking scenes

The textures are literally the best textures in human existence right now. Even the new ones are psychotically-faithful to the atmosphere of the game

The only thing i dislike is the radstorm frequency. The repetitive and consistent schedule of it seems almost arcadey in contrast to the very realistic authentic gameworld. I personally feel something this EPIC should only occur 1-2 times MAX in a playthrough. The first 2-3 times were epic and i recorded videos of it. But the following like 20? Bruh.. Shoot me.

btw awesome pic on the wall in the developer room on the 2nd floor in dead city haha

**suggestion**

I think it would be way more popular if cordon/garbage were treated as easy zones (with a starter car) with clear roads so the player can quickly get an idea OF HOW AMAZING THIS JOURNEY IS GOING TO BE. The first 20 hours of the game make you mistakenly believe it going to be a regular 40hr running-on-foot stalker title.

I feel the vehicle is soo important to this game, so the one white car like halfway through the game is odd to me

if you started the game in cordon, ran upstairs, saw a car and a trader (fox above ground with a merchant shop not hidden away) i think people would quickly understand that this is going to be GRAND experience. Which it is. The game as it starts right now makes you think its going to be another linear 40 hour stalker game (when in reality its actually a 200+ hour SPRAWLING openworld epic with vehicles and factions and traders and EVERYTHING)

ive gotten a few friends to try this game over the years, but none of them ever played it long enough to get the vehicle. and it makes me sad. I dont blame them. You need to put in a good 20 hours of hard labor before you can even discover that this game is a LEVIATHAN EPIC JOURNEY

lost alpha is the singular best video game ive ever played in 33yrs of being alive. i want people to know about this game!!!!!

oh and sorry for being a passenger seat driver here, this game is so epic that its easy to forget theres only one person working on it. My brain keeps telling me its a AAAA title haha

bro i will pay you like 5 bux to try it right now, you will never launch stalker without it ever again. Smooth stalker is mezmerizing

Also im at lake yantar right this second underground. This is so clearly the best singleplayer experience ever made its not even funny

seriously what other game has as many features and as much content as this game? Not even mmorpgs do..if AAA companies made a game like this today they would want $800 for it lol

im making videos trying to get it viral lol Youtube.com

i apologize if any of the info about the game is incorrect, im overly excited about this game

BRUH epic discovery, liquidbronze you there? You HAVE GOT to try LAR with specialK tool. it becomes the smoothest game i ever played in my entire life. Ive just been sitting for the last 20 minutes just slowly rotating the camera because its so smooth now. It transforms the game into a silky smooth rendering. And the controls are very responsive as if i had vsync off

I gotta be dreaming, if i saw this in real life id think someone ported lost alpha to unrealengine5 or something, because it feels so polished and smooth now

Turn vsync off everywhere first, then in the specialK app, go to the monitor tab at the top, and force specialK process to start. Now add the xray.exe or whatever its called to the list of games (you can right click any game and select ADD NEW GAME)

once in game press ctrl+shift+backspace to open the specialK control panel.

At the top click window and force vsync ON (it has to be in windowed mode to see the VSYNC option). Then change it to FULLSCREEN MODE. and also enable fps cap 60.000 for the most stable and lowest frame latency imaginable.

You will know immediately when you have it working

smooth stalker!!! hahah, pinch me im dreaming. The only times i ever experience a stutter now is when radiochatter pops up or getting the "nothing aquired" message after carving up a pseudodog

im obsessed with this game like ive never been obsessed with a game before. This is literally a AAAA game

I am inspired, i am truly convinced this is the best singleplayer game in existence at the moment. We need to get this game its own steam page or something so the world can see how good it is. This would go viral like people making tiktoks about it every day for a month.. Thats how good it is. Way better than red dead redemption2, way better than dying light 2, and makes metro exodus look like it was made by 9yr olds. I doubt stalker2 will have 10% of the content this game contains.

Like all the best games in history, this game is a freak of nature. The pinnacle of originality

Every single texture is so beautiful that it doesnt even seem like an old game engine, these are more than textures these are like textures and a half

Its funny how this game looks better than newer games, and its only 6gb.. Nuts that AAA games today are 100+gb and have smaller gameworlds and worse graphics and way less content

im playing on 12700k + gtx1080 + NVME and i get like 400fps with vsync disabled. incredible.

Also i dragged the sliders of "detailed geometry" "view distance" "geometry discard radius" all the way to the lowest just to tweak my view ranges.. And i seriously cant make the game look bad even if i tried (but i did get a tremendous fps boost). The ground texture is so masterful that it doesnt even require grass honestly. So high quality its insane to me

i havent crashed in days after reducing those video settings, I suspect the "soft water" is what causes crashing (like my last gaming pc i stopped crashing altogether after disabling soft water)

insane job on this game, the finest singleplayer experience a gamer could ever go on

im like halfway through my playthrough of LAR and its soooooo freaking good omg. It was hard at first but the second i got armor (the trench coat) and keep it repaired, i now understand the game and can actually kill guys now and stuff and use the car and its soo cool. Theres literally no other game this good

i personally dont mod or adjust any games parameters because games are sacred and i always respect the decisions of the people who made them. Thats why i just complain instead haha (but in all seriousness this game could really use a difficulty 10x easier than novice because i think i saved/loaded the game 70 different times in this current battle im having with the monolith troops where you get the first car). The only time i ever played something this hard was when you set the AI to the hardest difficulty in goldeneye 007

yo tamazz cut out a microscopic square or circle of black electrical tape, stick it to the center of your monitor. Ive had the same black piece of tape on my monitor for like 10yrs now i dont even notice its there anymore. To find the true-center of your screen just aim down the scope or iron sights in any shooter game. You now have a new crosshair that will now work with any game permanently and forever!

Its so contrasted and perfect that i can even use it perfectly in dark tunnels and stuff in lost alpha

Hey are there any bugs in LAR with the wear a bandit disguise mission? I got the bandit outfit from the 3x dead bodies and the game said that i succesfully found a bandit disguise. However the bandits shoot on sight when i get nearby even while wearing the bandit suit

i also tried to come back at night and just talk to the drunk guy but the second i do that it says "task failed speak to informant"

i feel like the last time i played stalker lost alpha this was not an issue for me

Are you aware that you have created the best singleplayer video game in existence? I tried DCE and it was HELL. Your version is so much better!

huh? i been using dxvk in DX11 mode, dxvk works with dx9, dx10, dx10.1, and dx11

its way easier to just take hud mode off minimal (inside the configurator) so you get the minimap back

hey dude who made this. COT and SE literally double the overall content of TW2. Dont listen to the negative reviews and play through them for yourself. They are both very original and good DLC's

nothing official about this, this dickweed made it so one pixel of radiation can delete your whole entire full health bar in about 8 seconds. DO NOT PLAY DCE. IT IS MADE BY MORONS

really wanted to play this version but "removed vehicles from trader" really turned me off. Please stop making decisions for me. Thanks.

I hate you for pointing us to this version of stalker lost alpha. This guy completely ruined everything enjoyable about lost alpha

for starters he just removed the option to disable head bobbing. So now just playing for 30 seconds makes me want to vomit

you have to see what this dickweed did to the game. You cant aim guns anymore. They just swing around like you are drunk

-He ruined the UI. Period. He ruined it. You cant even see if you have ammo in your guns anymore. You cant see if you have radiation or bleeding unless you constantly open your inventory

-He removed the ability to save the game

-He ruined stamina, the game functions as if you were permanently overburdened now.

-He ruined the guns, they sway like crazy now. You fire one bullet and it becomes jammed. And the recoil jolts your brain to look up a few inches which is another example of a nerd IMAGINING what real life is probably like

-He ruined radiation, if you get one single pixel of radiation, your health just starts deleting itself

-He lowered the amount of health the player has, if you get radiated this dickweed doesnt even give you 5 seconds to inject yourself with anti-rad because you die so quickly (learn how radiation kills people in real life you nerdy little idiot)

5. He removed the vehicles

Its literally impossible to enjoy now, I even bought the best armor that sidorovich had for sale. the only thing that is better about this version are the graphics and game engine stability.

He absolutely 100% ruined every other aspect of the game

people like this should not be allowed to work on videogames. Not even free mods.

this whole "lost alpha" experience has been such a complicated buggy nightmare. You really need to make an AIO version 1.5 with all the latest bin files and stuff. You never finished the game!

Your version sucks too. Its unstable. Why is it so impossible to make money? I had to download a mod just to make money. Why are you guys so afraid of making your game fun? The only thing you guys know how to do is make a game not fun. You put fences around everything and require the player to navigate a maze just to get to barkeep? In an open world game? Wtf is wrong with you? There should be ladders to get over any wall you want. And every objective marker in this game gets you lost. Almost every single one. WHy did you put the drunk guy around the back of the POI? Its like you scientifically select the worst places to put things in this game

then the game wants me to get in the white car. so i run around to it. And theres just a closed fence. So i guess i have to run back inside, and all around? just to get out front? Worst level design ive ever seen in an open world game. Just remove that stupid fence so the players can run to the white smoking car.. Freaking dickweeds i swear to god

This game would have so much more success if you just made it fun. Put a working vehicle right at the start of the game. Make it so i can make 100k rubles within 15 minutes of playing the game.. Whats the point of all these weapons and armor sets that nobody can use?

It seems like you are trying to stretch a 40hr long game to like 200hrs? Just by making the game as arduous as humanly possible

and dont let animals attack so frequently, a dog can bite me 7 times before i can even reload the double barrel shotgun.. Oh and 2 double barrel shotgun shots dont even kill the monsters on novice anyways.

You guys suck. Stop modifying games. Find something else to do with your lives. Because you are responsible for a great deal of suffering i have endured over the past week trying to get this game popular with my popular youtube channel. But i just cant. Its impossible. The game is just a suffering simulator.

It's not a big deal but you are not understanding my question, opentexmod and texmod do the same thing. I don't care which one is better.

What i am wondering is why assassin's creed needs these weird programs like texmod and opentexmod

Every mod i've installed for other games in my life simply requires you to drag the mod files over the game files and thats it. Or run a 30 second installer

Both texmod and opentexmod both wrap around the DX9 hook and inject the new textures in that way. I have never seen a mod in my life require texmod or opentexmod

Anyways, thanks for the great mod love the textures

Texmod does the same exact thing. Can you elaborate on why you need to use this method for installing AC mods? I fully understand it is probably something out of your control i am just pointing out that it is unfortunate that we must use this method

I like this mod but i got to admit i've never disliked an installation method of a mod more. I guess it is not possible to just install the textures over the game files with a regular installer?

opentexmod wraps a dx9 hook into the game in order to inject the textures directly into the video cards memory. Talk about a crude method of modding a game! This install method is just unfortunate because it interferes with reshade, gedosato, steam overlay, anything dx hook related. I've never seen a texture improvement require a dx hook before. Oh well

That would be nice

I would like to raise this memory texture allocation budget, can you explain how to do this? I have an i7 7700k and gtx1080TI and i also notice some new microstuttering in places after applying the overhaul. I looked in my documents and found the ac2 config file but there is nothing related to ram in the settings
