Hey I'm just popping in to say that your tweaks are absolutely essential to my enjoyment of the mod. The medkits having bleeding reduction, the extra NPCs in bases, the slight regen, the hunter kit going back to its classic functionality, are all vital to me.

If you could also buff the Spetsnaz Switchblade to kill stalkers in one hit with the secondary attack, that would be great too. Anomaly devs made stealth knife kills impossible for some stupid reason. I'm currently relying on another modder for the melee weapon buff. If you could bundle something like that with these tweaks, I'll be grateful.

Is the bug with companions not engaging going to be fixed in the next update? 80% of the time they just don't enter combat even if set to Aggressive

Is there a *good* reason why the strongest knife in the game (Spetsnaz Switchblade) isn't able to oneshot kill unaware stalkers to the back of the head?

Nice. So, after removing the mod, the game became fully playable again, however my companion cap has re-bugged down to zero again. Even if I dismiss the guys that are with me I can't get them back.

So the mod that you linked me is like a temporary thing - whenever I want to add someone to the group I have to reinstall it, and then remove it so the game doesn't freeze when I get in combat. However, it still works, and that's about as much as we could have asked for. Thanks for the help man.

I don't really mind some file editing here and there when I want to change up my squad, although obviously the best case scenario is if that wasn't necessary. It doesn't matter though, this is still a solution.

It doesn't give me logs because it doesn't crash, it merely freezes. So it's a lot harder to determine the cause.

However I've been experimenting with it and I can confirm a few things:

The game does not freeze when in combat with mutants. Only other stalkers.

The game also freezes when trying to dismiss the extra companions.

It appears that whenever your allies are engaged with enemy stalkers, the game freezes. But when your allies are engaged with mutants, no freeze.

It's probably bugged for me and not you because you didn't get the bug that made your companion slots 0. I got that bug so when I installed the addon you gave me to "fix" it something must have broke along the way.

Figured it out: It's related to the infinite companion slots addon, if you install this addon after you get the bug where you can no longer add companions (in an attempt to "fix" that bug) your game will freeze whenever combat begins.

Anyone else freezing in Agroprom Underground? No crash, just a freeze

It's making Living Legend impossible to complete

Wow that was...extremely convenient actually. Thanks haha

I just had a bug where random companions were assigned to my unit. This guy took a slot in my squad and prevented me from inviting anyone else.

Someone on here told me how to fix it with debug mode, so I did that, but I still can't recruit anybody.

I can't even have one companion. If I dismiss the one I have with me, I still don't have the option to get any. The companion system is completely broken for me.

I can't invite anybody to my team anymore, even if I dismiss the one guy that's with me

Bugged companion?

I have a companion that I never actually recruited, and he's outside of the levelchanger to Rostok so he's stuck in the void and I can't interact with him at all, but he's counted as in my squad for some strange reason and he's occupying a slot.

His level change status is disabled so I can't fix him by changing levels and then dismissing him. How do I get rid of this? How did he even get into my squad in the first place?

Bug: Player cannot manually capture points in Warfare mode even after waiting the specified amount of time. 100% reproducible.

What is the new main menu music? It's very depressive, I like it.

This is the funniest description I've ever read; please never change.

Can't wait! I'm so happy to hear from dev team. Been checking on Dead Air each month or so.

I like the new layout.

Glad you're back and hope you had a nice break.

I collected a decent list of bugs here --->>> Moddb.com

"Be the mug that you've always been"

Prey flashbacks

It is exactly for this reason why I don't personally like mods like this (Anomaly has it as well.) I feel like I do not have full control of my character's hitbox with the camera being moved. After years of playing Stalker, you get used to the camera's positioning in reference to your character's body.

I hope I'm not coming off as mean or anything - just commenting.

Jedi Academy was mostly Raven Software, but goddamn that game was so well designed.

I think Military and Mercs also have proto-exos.

I was told it just takes a while for the quest to register as completed. Just wait a while and talk to the arena NPC again and he should give you your winnings.

Interesting, I didn't know it works that way. I kind of thought it would be more interesting than that (items for sale exclusive to the achievement, for example.) Sad to know it's useless above 2500 reputation.

I've played Call of Chernobyl for many years and never knew that's how the achievement worked.

I think I read somewhere that you can use the disguise of another faction to terminate the target of your killquest. I don't completely know the details but I think it won't affect your reputation with your faction, and I don't think the other Loners in the area will remain hostile after you switch off of the disguise.

You just have to make sure that you are not seen when putting on (or taking off) the outfit, and the outfit must also be at a certain degree of condition to work as a disguise (otherwise they will recognize you as an ally and be ****** off that you killed them.)

LOL, it's only after receiving this reaction from you that I realized how ridiculous the whole situation is. I guess I'll give you the full story here then.

So, here is the thread on Reddit where I found out what caused the bug.

Reddit.com

A helpful Stalker linked me to another thread that was having the same issue. And in that other thread, someone posted about an invulnerable NPC that corrupts the map when they die. And that's when I realized what happened in my Jupiter map.

It appears that this bugged NPC is common in Last Day. The problem is, the invulnerable NPC was the target of my killquest and I never played Last Day before so I didn't know that there is a way to avoid the map corruption after killing him, by using the command g_corpsenum 1. This hint was provided by Malyboy in this thread -> Moddb.com

I went and tested it, but it seems to only work if you're still in the map with the bugged NPC. If you leave the map with the bugged NPC's corpse, the map is forever lost even if you use the g_corpsenum 1 command because the command seems to only be limited to the level you are in.

The only way to get Jupiter working again is by fully refreshing the entire map which, to my knowledge, can only be done by starting a new game.

I recorded the bug in my thread here -> Moddb.com I'd appreciate it if you would bump it for me, because I had the highly unfortunate timing of posting that thread just as Searge left for vacation, which means it's highly likely that it will be bumped far down when he gets back and won't be noticed. There's a lot of issues I'd like to be noted. I'm passionate about Anomaly; It's a lot of fun and definitely my favorite Call of Chernobyl experience but it's got quite a few bugs so I want to help in any way I can.

I actually figured out what went wrong but it's unfixable. It's kind of a long story. There was an invulnerable NPC, can only be killed with explosives, died with a T-pose, and corrupted the map after I left it.

It seems to me as if with 3k Monolith reputation and with the Heavy Pockets achievement, there is absolutely no difference in the trader's stock as compared to 2k reputation and no Heavy Pockets achievement. Is this a bug?

Trying to enter Jupiter.

stack trace:

Just had a random crash while loading into Jupiter from Red Forest. Yeah, it seems like the northern maps have occasional bugs even with 64 bit. I doubt the extra memory access is helping whatever problem they have.

Awesome update!

Nope, just checked. I was thinking maybe he's just not showing up on the minimap, so I looked all around the site and there's no trader.

I thought you might have been confusing Limansk for the neighboring areas so I scouted the hospital and Red Forest and no traders.

There are traders in Outskirts and in Red Forest, but they are standard traders. They have the same stock as the main Monolith trader.

I haven't been to Chernobyl or Generators yet though. I'll check them out next time I get on the game. It would be unfortunate if Monolith would have no buyer for mutant parts. You'd think they would love to have the "gifts of the Zone".
