How do I install? Thread - L.U.R.K. mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl

I have DL'ed both RAR packs and extracted.
Both gamedata folders are 3.15 GB. Do I drop one into the SOC file and then drop the second
in and overwrite the first one?
Also I cannot get the -prefetch to work in the SOC shortcut.

If you extract from the first Rar and the second Rar is in the same location ( ie both on desktop ) then you should end up with one big file not two of same size. Just right click first rar file and select extract here and all should be well if it stops and says something or other is not present then you may have downloaded the same file twice give it a try and post back any probs
On the -noprefetch prob put your cursor outside the quote marks press space once and type in -noprefetch with no spaces should work ok ( i'm assuming you right clicked your shortcut, selected properties then the Target. If you have installed into the same directory as me just cut and paste the line below into your target window.

"C:\Program Files\THQ\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl\bin\XR_3DA.exe" -noprefetch

Good luck

Thanks,my gamedats folder is 3.15GB.
Should that be correct?
What does the -prefetch do,as the game runs without it?
Loving this mod, looks fantastic and alot more in keeping with the atmosphere than the others.

Yea Gamedata is correct at 3.15Gb and the -noprefetch can help with ingame stuttering if it runs ok ( some mods do others don't ) then in my opinion leave it alone .

Thanks for the help,much appreciated.
When will the mod be ready for public release?
Been playing deus ex nameless mod with direct x 10 mod and also fake factory cinematic mod10.
You should try those also.
Makes it great to be a PC gamer:thumbup:

I am unable to change to -noprefetch as it won't let me. Will that cause any problem?
When I add _noprefetch a message pops up saying it is not valid.

Put the -noprefetch after the quotation marks. My shortcut is as follows:

"E:\Games\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl\bin\XR_3DA.exe" -noprefetch -nointro

This is also where you turn on motion blur with -mblur. But I don't use that.
