Waste Processing Plant Crash Thread - MISERY mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

I'm running into a recurring crash I can't seem to get past, maybe y'all can help. I'm running Stalker COP 1.6.02, Misery 2.2, and Absolute Nature 4. Everything else is stock. System is Win7 x64, i5 processor, gtx 960, ssd for the game files and OS. No overclocks on CPU/GPU.

I've played about 30-40 hours of Misery 2.2 so far, and overall it's been very stable (played for hours with no crashes). Right now I'm trying to clear the WPP. Usually I'm pretty save-happy, but I really wanted to clear the plant with no midpoint saves. Got myself a Lynx, loaded up on V grade ammo, and set to it. However, I'm having consistent crashes after taking a few enemies.

I'm right around the broken wall towards the crashed heli, popping in and out to pick off mercs as they stream out. The crash usually happens while I'm scoped (course I'm scoped most of the time in this scenario). I can't really pin it down any more than that. Probably had 20 crashes today, it's pretty much brought me to a dead stop, which is frustrating because I was really looking forward to this section.

Things I've tried:

1. reboot
2. different switch distances
3. different graphics settings
4. reverted to a bit earlier save, walked back over, same issue
5. most current save, wandered off to do and shoot other stuff. plenty of scope use, no crash

Here's one of my error logs from windows - they're all pretty much the same:

Edit: Also, here's the crash log from Stalker itself, from my most recent crash. Only subsequent change was deleting the user.ltx files - no change in behavior:

BTW, outside of this crash issue (and all the Olympic medal shotputters that seem to populate the zone) this is a great mod. I played thru COP vanilla without hardly breaking a sweat, so it was great fun to boot up misery and have my ass handed to me repeatedly by simple bandits. In combination with AbsoluteNature4 it's such an immersive, atmospheric experience. It really does feel more stalker than stalker.

The portion below, or at most, generally, the last ten lines or part which follows the phrase FATAL ERROR is all we need:

stack trace:

0023:07259E80 xrGame.dll, CDialogHolder::CDialogHolder()

This is simply too much going on at once. Since the WPP has the largest single concentration of elite enemies all trying to outflank you at once and usually a Gigant nearby in the corner stomping around, sometimes it can happen.

Gotcha. Not sure what changed but gave it another try today, and only one crash. Finally managed to clear it in one go, though there were three stragglers who snuck up on me separately while I was trying to loot the joint. Unfortunately they ran into the wrong end of a couple dozen loads of panicky buckshot. Was looking over my shoulder and jumping at every creak til I looted everything and gtfo. Worried I'd missed one. Crashes notwithstanding, this was definitely the highlight of my playthru so far.

Glad to hear it! That is one of my favorite missions. I always hide after so I can break down all my loot to a manageable weight and sneak back to base without getting jumped.
