FAQ:

- What is Prosectors Project?

PP's original goal was to be an engine mod that improved SOC's engine, with many new systems, features and fixes, and then later turned into it's own mod.

- Translated Description:

This is a global modification that adds new locations, expands the original plot of Shadows of Chernobyl, and adds many original game mechanics.
The following locations have been added, populated and brought into the game: Swamps, Dark Hollow, Misty Hollow, Dead City, Red Forest, Limansk, Hospital and a couple of dungeons. There are a number of side quests, but the main focus was on reworking the last third of the story.
The engine is a custom fork of xp-dev. More than 90% of the original script code has been rewritten. A lot of work was done with content, textures, models and particles were added and improved. Also the weather was qualitatively adjusted and the renderer was added for the most pleasant picture. Many game innovations have been added, as well as refined existing ones.
Traditionally, our AI will diversify gameplay and create a lot of interesting game situations, and the economy will make you wisely approach the choice of equipment and building business relationships with merchants and factions.

- Why does the game take so long to load?

PP has shader caching, which improves performance but increases load times (when you're loading in the game for the first time. After the first load, it takes 10 seconds or less with an SSD)

Tips:

• First of all, study the in-game tutorial. It has been extensively revised and expanded, and contains a lot of useful information on the new and changed mechanics of the game. In addition, pay attention to the initial dialogs with Sidorovich and minor dialogs with Wolf.
• NPC accuracy is adaptive, dynamic and highly dependent on many factors, most of which are influenced by the player, here are some of them:
  Difficulty level. The higher it is, the higher the NPC's reaction speed and accuracy. On the Legend difficulty level, NPC characteristics are turned up to a level that is unfair to the player.
  NPC Rank. The higher it is, the higher the NPC's reaction speed and accuracy.
  Shooting and aiming for the player's position. If you are constantly looking out of the same place, it will be easier for enemies to hit you. Especially if the enemy is crouched and has you in his sights. Moreover, if you keep the same position, the enemies will have an advantage when storming that position. To put it another way: they will kill you with a prefire.
• Inventory volume: If there is no backpack, the suit volume is used (specified in the parameters). If you have a backpack, the backpack volume and 50% of the suit volume are added together. Example: you have a 60 liter backpack and a 10 liter suit. You can fill 65 liters, however after 60 the backpack will wear out.
• Stash looting: NPCS can steal your rucksacks, so put them far away from places where people might travel through (there is still a chance your stash might get stolen) or pay a trader for storage. NPCS can also loot other NPC stashes, so when you get stash info from another NPC, hurry up to the location.
• Carry weight: You can increase carry weight by being overweight.
