Upgrade to English localization. Scocou, Zone3r and Carlkuwait translations have been merged, tested, and revised for improvement. If you plan on completing the new East Dump mission and flamethrower quest, get this first. These are just a couple of things that have been improved in these files, but the dialog is much better and should help.
I deleted the previous gamedata folder cuz when i tried to overwrite it with the new one the game didnt start, deleting it and placing in the new one made it work, however now when i try to change the language from rus to eng in menu the game crashes...
What do? :(
Ever got it fixed? 20 of december and STILL not fixed.
Was fixed back in September already. See the posts from Sept 9 2020 below. I have no way to change the file that is posted here so I am hosting the fixed file set myself. Yadi.sk
FIX:
gamedata\confif\text\eng\st_dialog_demosfen.xml
find on line 247!
<text>Hey, Doc, what kind of lab do you have here?text>
and change with:
<text>Hey, Doc, what kind of lab do you have here?</text>
It works, thanks.
good catch
Good catch. I remember fixing that because I run test all the files before I play test them. Not sure how it got in the upload like that.

Do you have to start a new game after installing the patch? Thanks!
You do not have to, the game will play just fine without starting a new game. Just that any text you have already seen stays as it was when you saw it. To see every change takes a new game but it is up to you. Any text you have not seen yet will show the updated text.
Thanks for the quick answer, since I am already about ten hours into this version. Has the patch been fixed of that line error. I am not good with fiddling with things. I usually use Notepad and hope for the best. Is there a better program to edit the text with if I have to do it? Thanks again. Good hunting, stalker!
I do not have access to the file on moddb to change it. I use notepad ++ to edit xml files. Notepad-plus-plus.org
The file compare edit addon for Notepad ++ is very handy. Also, I play test with the old and new file still open but saved. If a mistake is made it is easy and quick to fix it.

Thx to everyone involved.
This is a re-upload of all the above files. With the corrected st_dialog_demosfen.xml file included.
Plus minor improvement to 3 other files and ** 4 additional files that where just finished **
Yadi.sk
If the moddb download could be changed to this file set that would be great.
I am a fellow Demosfen player sharing my translation with you all. I don't have moddb admin access to change it.
Downloaded it from your link. Thanks! Now, if only the game wouldn't crash at odd times and assault rifles did more realistic damage. And I could find basic tool kits more readily, I have the medium and advanced kits but so far, no basic. Oh, well, time to search more stashes. Thanks again!
Thx. Just installed Demosfen again.
Hey guys,
i applied your english patch to my game as intended, but now it crashes after a few seconds of the small splash screen.
Here is my log file:
Pastebin.pl
Any way to fix this?
It says in your log file.....
[error] Description : Error reading end tag.
[error] Arguments : text\eng\st_dialogs_demosfen.xml.
If you scroll up and read the comments here you will notice the entire discussion was about how to fix this.
This is an end tag -->> </text> <<--
It has been fixed and should be downloaded manually and overwrite the other gamedata files as the osmosis remote file discombubulator is down for maintenance...
New file set . Yadi.sk
Oof, i read that and thought it was already in the main file.
Ah well, now it works as intended.
Thanks a lot friend :3
I downloaded it directly from carlkuwait's link yesterday and tried it yesterday and had no issues so far. The only new spot I travelled to was Dark Valley and wasn't really talking to the bandits, except with lead. Then it crashed, so will try again tonight, but otherwise, seemed stable enough.
Thanks a ton for this guys! Us westerners would not have a chance with this without your efforts =)
PART2 - PART3 CORRUPTED!!
hola, es compatible con hd model? o los NPC ya viene con modelos nuevos?
Well, I done the instructions to the letter and as soon as I install THIS improved translation the game just refuses to even start up.
It shows the little square in the center of the screen, and the vanishes and nothing happens, no crash, no game, nothing.
Did the install, changed the line of code, everything looks fine except... nothing is in English even after selecting English in the options and restarting. What's the deal?
In rare instances the menu does not update the localization.ltx file in Gamedata\configs. Open that file and check this.
[string_table]
font_prefix =
language = eng
Where can we get the database unpacker?
I would like to create text in another language.
The database is encrypted. The unpacked files are not readable. If still interested I can send you the Russian and English files.
can not run the game with this patch
Yes, we seem to have a few that do not read English trying to use the English patch. As evidenced by the reason for this and the fix for it are clearly written above. In English. Please indicate what language you need the instructions translated to.
How do you install this patch?
Unpack with 7-zip, drag and drop the included gamedata folder on the Demosfen install location folder, overwrite when asked. The same as any other Stalker patch that comes in the form of a gamedata folder.
After applying update 1.051 game won't start anymore with log

Ok, I have found the fix - remove xrRender_R3.dll from bin folder.
In reality on the title page it should say in bold capitals "DO NOT DOWNLOAD IF YOU CANNOT SPEAK RUSSIAN".
