If you haven’t played 2007’s most immersive and atmospheric shooter, or you’re back for replay, this mod is for you. This is the world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. like you’ve never seen before, with updated graphics and added functionality that don’t change the original story or gameplay. The game hasn’t been changed beyond recognition, but rather enhanced while preserving the core elements that made it the unique experience it is.
Easy .exe automatic installer, compatible with XP, Vista, Windows 7, 32 and 64 bit. Works with Steam.
This installer will install the entire mod compilation, enable gamedata folder support in the fsgame.ltx file, and make various changes in your user.ltx file. In short, it automates the core installation steps you would normally have to do manually. However, it will reset your in-game settings to their default values.
Compatibility:
Make sure to patch the game before installing a mod, otherwise you will see a black screen on startup. To check if your game is patched, see lower left corner of the main menu screen, it should say ver. 1.0005 (or 1.0006). If nothing is there, that means it's version 1.000. If you have a Steam version, wait for it to get updated automatically.
A special note for Vista/Windows 7 users:
It is recommended to run this installer as Administrator (right click the installer file and select 'Run as Administrator'). This is suggested due to issues with UAC and Rights Management, making it possible to have an incomplete installation and/or “leftovers” after uninstalling. Running this installer as Administrator avoids such issues.
It's also recommened to temporary disable Microsoft Security Essentials (this can be done under Settings inside the program), as it will try to unpack and scan the installer resulting in unresponsive system.
For languages: Czech, Hispanic, French, German, Italian, Polish and Russian, please download an International patch, otherwise your game won't start: Moddb.com

The SC_International_Patch_1.2.8_beta has to be applied after you install everything.
Does anyone have an ETA on the release of the next update? I know this one only came out a few months ago, but I am itching to use some new weapons. Also I hope that the weapon realism and balance patch will be extended to all new weapons included in the next update.
Hello,
I've downloaded this mod and is works perfect.
only one thing, there are black stripes all over the screen when I'm playing.
I can't see anything.
my settings are: (very low I know but my pc is crappy)
Static lightning
low
800x600
The original stalker game runs on this settings perfect.
Help cause I can't play now :(
oow yeah,
I ran the setup as an admin so thats not the problem. :)
how do u install this mod through steam ? i keep gettin message that no stalker installed . help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The game needs to launched for installer to recognize it if you never launched it before.
Do you guys have a no-cd crack for this mod?
My previous one is over-written and I need it because my cd/dvd-drive has the tendency to get stuck.
I had Oblivion lost and I loved the blowouts but there was som major stuttering so I uninstalled it and got this because complete 2009 is't compatible with oblivion lost. is there any way of getting blowouts into complete 2009
How can i make the game with this mod run faster ?I put the game on minimal video settings , but still lags. Thx
hey i find a funny glitch:
when you prepare your self for the mision with fanatic( protect the camp)if you sleep 9 hours and get killed.The day and the nightis crazy the day stay in only 2 second and the night is in 2 second an get loop
sorry for my really bad english
im having a prob i have stalker on steam it is just saying it cant find it having the same prob with the clear sky...it worked before i tryed to uninstall then reinstall nothing is helping trying new mirrors i tried just about everthing so please help its kinda getting annoying i really like the mods
I have installed STALKER: SOC with patch 1.0006 installed.
Also, I have installed STALKER Complete version 1.4.4.
Running an Intel i7 920 with Win 7 (64-bit).
ATI Radeon HD 5770, @ standard clocking, with Catalyst 10.4 latest version installed.
My issue is a freezing situation heading to Angroprom, from the Bandit attack at the rail road station, near the tunnel. I am leaving The Garbage, and before I can make it to the entrance for Angroprom, the game freezes.
I have run the game on 1 CPU, and this does not help. Is there anything else I can do?
Also, I love the way this mod sounds and looks! I went from shabby graphics, to awesome graphics. Thanks!
sorry i got it to work it took a few installs to work...odd but oh well thanks hoping for the great fun
Is this compatible with Oblivion Lost 2.2 or does this already have A-Life and Blowouts?
has anyone seen the shooting star around 4 am iv seen it in the dark vally by x 18 and the wild teritory im just wondering if anyone else has noticed this?
How come you don't include an option in the installer to enable the realistic weapons add-on and have it install all in the one go?
Big fan by the way…
I downloaded this mod and i had to dl the patch cause i wasnt upto date with them, i start playing and im lagging like a sloth trying to catch a butterfly, any reasons for it?
also i turned graphics and **** down and done nothen
Can i change the scopes back to normal, having trouble seeing enemies through your version (by the way the scope thing is the ONLY thing that you guys did that i didn't like, every thing else is AMAZING, great job!). Also i cant access freeplay, i can jump to different parts to the story, but not freeroam after i finish the game.
Same problem as some of the others, I can´t save a game(it says it saved but when i want to load there is nothing to load) and i can´t leave the first map. WHat do I have to do to fix it. I had no other mods and i got the 1.005 patch just before i started to install your mod. I did start the game once before installing like ordered. Need another patch or what? Everything else seems to work, great graphix and noises are more realistic! Seems good, more so I would really like to play it aswell.
Greetings from Estonia!
ok I understand what the problem is, but I dont know how to fix it. It wants to sace on c disk, but i dont have one. I have the game installed on H, how do i change the save folder?
sorry i am an idiot. Changed the disk letter in "fsgame" from "C:" to "H:" and everything started to work perfectly at the moment, havent tried to leave the first map but still... my bad should have drank less yesterday, would have thought about it before.
ArtistPavel, could you please improve npc & mutant textures? You've done an exellent work but the face textures have remained ugly. On an outdated game like Half-Life 2 they retextured the faces. And now they look real alive.
Hey I just wanted to say thanks for your hard work! I really appreaciate this mod!
Does this work with the steam version?
So i had Stalker SoC installed perfectly for Steam, then i installed the mod. Now whether the mod is installed or not i am not hearing any sound in game or even in the startup menu. The game looks great though all revamped and works fine, but just 0 sound.
Any fixes/suggestions would be appreciated as now neither stalker has sound!!!
I had a similar problem (mine is not a Steam version) despite having the latest drivers for my Sound Blaster X-Fi and the latest versions of DirectX and OpenAl. I was able to fix it by forcing the program to use DirectSound instead of OpenAl using the "-dsound" command line switch. I got the idea from Koroush Ghazi's Tweak Guide (http://www.tweakguides.com/STALKER_6.html) and he explains how to implement command line switches on Page 9 of his guide (http://www.tweakguides.com/STALKER_9.html). It is worth checking out his site as there is a lot of good info there.
@ArtistPavel you have not answered the question about people that have 1.4.3 and why you have not just made a 1.4.3 to 1.4.4. patch or at least telling what changes have been made to 1.4.4. versus 1.4.3.
I have a fully working game with 1.4.3 I am not going to download over 700mb and install 1.4.4. without knowing the answers to the above.
1.4.4 contains patch 1.4.3.2 + all new weapon skins and a few improved night sky textures from Clear Sky Complete, so technically if you are ok with weapon textures and night sky, you should be fine with 1.4.3.2, this is the patch itself (change-log is included): Paveldolgov.com
I've had a bad experience with users not knowing how to apply patches manually, so I ended up releasing full version instead, I apologize for the inconvenience.
Hey,i re-installed all the Patch the Game and now i downloaded this,the game alway's crash me when i click on Stalker.Do you know a solution?
Every time I try to staart a new game, the XRay engine's BugTrap shuts down my game. I think this may be related to the mod. Thoughts?
I have a strange bug (not necessarily bad, but its annoying and confusing) that causes my ammo count in the HUD for any gun to be ballooned to an exaggerated amount that isn't what I have in my inventory. EX: I have 96 AK A.P rounds, I have out my Ak-74, and on the HUD it reads that I have 364 rounds of ammo, exluding my clip. Weird no?
Any advice?
I recently scratched my head at this weird bug with the faction reset ability. I did a few of the those "Kill the Stalker" tasks and now the loner faction has a grudge apparently and I can't reset their staying with me as the traders say I'm broke, which I'm clearly not with my nearly 20,000 RU. Advice anyone?
this mod extremely slow mod ever designed..
I have a video card with 1gb of memory,4gb main system memory but still game runs too slow,takes long time to load or start new game than while playing game stocks on one spot and freezes..
Another slightest mistake weapons sucks more than in original,vss is nolonger capable to hit targets from one shot this is totaly retardet..
Who will make guns like this in reality??
VSS from one shot penetrate armour vest but in your mode to hit military or bandits takes whole 6 shots,so where is realism there??
thats why you hit them in the head...
The patch is far more worst,its read knife error hud and game get crashed...
Question,
I have been playing this mod and have noticed something, when i change armors it will keep the default hands and gloves? also when I auto-load a last save game sometimes it will show default leather jacket when the stalker armor is equipped. I will have to change the armor for it to show again 3rd person view.
I am running Stalker us version with patch 1.006 with 1.44 and realistic weapons mod.
Any ideas an what could be causing this?
This is normal for Shadow of Chernobyl.
hey Pavel! is it possible to add your own songs to the 100 Rads Bar playlist? if yes how?
I'm running this game on an entry to ok-tier comp. and not sure if it can handle the graphical improvements. Is it possible to install the mod without the graphics updates?
It would be nice to know how (if at all) to add your own songs to the Bar's playlist.
it might be good for you guys to know,
dont save your game on the ladder to the Agroprom Underground.
I did this about an hour ago and i got into a loop for about 20mins before my gaming ASUS laptop crashed.
BTW ******* AMAZING GRAPHICS!!
MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS GAME AGAIN!!
BEEN PLAYING SINCE 10PM. time now 6AM.
LOVE YOU PAVEL!!
going to download Clear Sky Complete now.
I hope your working hard on the Call of Pripyat Complete mod.
So that; there is no option to continue playing after finishing the mission isn't it?
i mean, first i played the old Oblivion lost-Mod. it was great!
then i played yours. its better but there are alot of features i couldn't see.
1. no blowouts? only, there was one little stupid blowout at the end (just befor i entered the reactor)
the rain is really nice and the moonlight, too. but it looks like u killed the big creepy blowouts.
2.in OL, there was a big attack on the duty-camp by creatures within a rainy night. overall, OL was alot more creepy and difficult... i dont know but i only played OL in "stalker"-difficulty and it was much more difficult than your Modification played on "master"-difficulty.
3. there was no trader at pripyat.
4.you killed alot of annyoing parts of the game like the arena.. but after finishing the mission, it would be just random to continue playing and finishing all the little quest beside the main objective.
it would be rly nice to get another patch (working with the current savegames) to get all these features and of course, to continue with trading. also, you could ask another mod to get one of theirs custom missions... theres is alot of potential wihtin this game and of course, withing your GREAT modification.
damnit! wrong page..haha
Takes so long to download... :(
hey guys. this looks like a pretty nice mod yes.
but right now i'm extremely frustrated.
i have started the download, and @ 80 % 562mb. it just stopped.
i found out that the files has been removed... soooo uhmmm..
WTF ???? i live in SA ( South Africa ) and our data here is extremely bloody expensive and if we get download speeds up to 150kbps we are very lucky. all i am trying to say is, i have spend a lot of time and money to be able to play the game with this mod, that appears to be a very nice one
please tell me where i can get this download without loosing and loosing.
hello , im wondering if you can help me with this.It's about the headbobing , you see i actually enjoy the vanilla level of headbobing so is there anyway i can put it back to normal without breaking the mod?
I am not seeing the model of the knife being held in the hand (where you can see the blade) like other screenshots. The knife position seems to only show the stub of the knife and hand is at a slant.
What's the problem?
Nevermind. I found that they changed the model in 1.4.4. I installed the earlier version - it's much better.
hello, and first off, awesome mod!
when the sun is rising, i get the sun rise (horizon lines) everywhere, even through buildings and mountains. only happens at sunrise. I861.photobucket.com
here is example, see the sunset haze (horizon line)
also Kruglov is hopelessly bugged, i keep reloading an earlier save, but he is always dead, or just wont follow me when he is alive. he says he will follow me, but goes off on his own in the wrong direction....
