-Downloaded and installed mod
-Started as Ecologist faction
-Exited bunker
-Pseudogiant outside, kills all the guards
-Shoot all my ammo at it, it doesn't seem to be affected
-I'm dead
-Great realism! :P

Not sure if anyone knows about this, but I found a moneymaking exploit. Starting as the ecologist faction, you can sell mutant parts to the scientist in the bunker, then buy them back for a lower price and sell them again. Repeat as needed to make a pile of cash. :)

Hi, I just started playing this and having lots of fun with it. It's great being able to start in different areas and just explore, although some areas are definitely more deadly than others... ;)

Also, is it just me or do the weather options not work at the moment? It seems that the settings have no effect on the actual game. Or do I need to reload the area/start a new game?

It's a very good silencer :)

I uninstalled it for now, waiting for the next version. We'll see if it makes a difference. :)

Did you manage to make all that work without crashing? I had a similar setup for a while (AN + structures + STCoP) but got frequent crashes, probably a memory issue.

I'd actually say start in the Clear Sky base. You have a vendor and a repair guy in close proximity. Just talk to the main guys and do whatever missions they give you (meaning barman and salesman, not the random dudes. They'll usually just ask for some weapon you have no way of getting). Then move on to Cordon, Garbage, Agroprom etc. Don't forget to collect mutant parts and ammo to sell.

Ok, so if I have 1.4.22 for example, I don't even need to install this? I need to delete particles.xr? The wording is a bit confusing.

I think it's possible to appreciate the mod and the work the authors put in while still offering (constructive) criticism. After all, they are offering this mod publicly. This makes it open to comments and critique. Being a blind fanboy who offers nothing but praise doesn't help anyone, and makes this community look like a bunch of teenagers.

That worked, thanks!

Cannot access truck cemetery at all... game crashes when trying to load the level.

I am also getting X-ray engine crashes. I want to say it's because of the game itself, but I just finished CoP with no crashes so I don't know.

Hey! I love the idea of a realistic damage mod, but I think something might be off with the weapon settings... I just sniped an entire Duty squad with a cheap shotgun.

So I finally started making good progress on a character, got as far as exploring lab X-16 (in Yantar) but when entering the lab the game crashed and now my saves seem to be corrupted. Great. Anyone else know of a possible fix other than loading some previous save from 3 hours ago?

You should really play the STALKER games beforehand, or at least Call of Pripyat. Otherwise this won't make much sense.

Sounds like corrupted game files or a graphical issue. Try deleting everything and doing a clean install, see if it's fixed. If not, it could be some combination of video card/bad drivers/Windows version. It's hard to tell.

Cool, thank you!

This has been mentioned in the forum as well, but faction relationships do not seem to change. No matter how many missions you do for them, help them, etc., your relationship stays at its initial value (-1000, 0, 1000 etc.) Is this a bug, or just not currently implemented?

I'm not really having money issues, per se - I just think it's a little ridiculous when repairing a mid-range weapon or armor costs 12-14K and those same weapons can be sold for 2K afterwards.

As for artifacts, I'm having a bit of trouble because I can't find a decent detector. Been playing for several hours already, visited Cordon, Garbage, Agroprom, Yantar and Rostok and still couldn't find anything better than an Echo.

I'm having fun with the mod so far, but does anyone know of a quick way to adjust prices? Repair and sell prices seem to be 2-3 times what they were in the vanilla games, and I'm not really a big fan of that.

Here's a quote from the mod discussion page:

"(STCoP Weapon Pack) This addon contains dozens of "actual" weapons and ammo types, Arsenal Overhaul contains more variaton with some older weapons and makes the gameplay more realistic with harder recoil and better IA aim, and at the least, Original Weapons Renewal it's just a reskin of vanilla weapons with some additions for unique weapons."

Yes, I noticed discrepancies in the buy/sell/repair values. For example I found some Russian rifle I hadn't seen before which cost about 3K to repair, and then sold it for 8K. Then I had an M16 I believe, where the repairs cost 12K (I noticed that the sell value was over 14K, which seems ridiculously high) but I could only sell it for about 1900. What I'm saying is, it's impossible to ascertain whether fixing and selling a weapon will bring profit or loss, and doesn't seem consistent.

Also, is there a way to modify repair costs? I'm not a fan of having them increased.

One thing I noticed in this mod is that weapon repair and sell prices are very erratic. They vary between a couple of hundred and several thousand RUs, often for very similar weapons. I'm using the STCoP weapon pack addon, not sure if that is the cause.

I uninstalled my video drivers and did a clean install of the latest version. Haven't had any crashes since then, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Latest patch - yes
Any addons - only Arsenal Overhaul, the CoC version
Log file - I'll try posting it

Changing graphics settings doesn't seem to do anything. Also, the game stutters in general and seems poorly optimized.

I do have CoP installed, in fact I just finished playing through it. CoC is in a separate folder. It runs fine, but it just ends/quits to desktop after a few minutes.

I would like to enjoy this mod as I've heard many good things about it, but sadly I cannot. 5-10 minutes into the game, it freezes and crashes. I've played and completed all 3 Stalker games, so I don't think it's my system. Oh well, it's a real shame.

I tried downloading this mod and got a virus warning. Anyone know what's going on?

I like the idea of more realistic and powerful weapons, but I don't understand how some users can say enemies do too little damage to them, because I had the opposite experience. It seems that the damage I suffer is exactly the same, no matter what armor I'm wearing. Whether I was wearing a leather jacket or an exoskeleton, any enemy could kill me in a single burst of fire - this is on Veteran difficulty, by the way. It's true that I could do the same to them, but doesn't this make armors kind of pointless? I spent a lot of money on that exoskeleton only to find out there was no point in buying it.

I like a lot of changes in the mod, but for example Mission 2 on Hard is now impossible. The enemy simply sends too many enemies too fast for you to be able to do anything. Was this intended to frustrate the player, or what?
