Thank you for this new work!

So far it is working great with only couple of minor CTD. It loads very quickly so the CTD were no big deal.

I'm enjoying the new graphic effects. Excellent! The only thing that bothers me is the flickering screen effects when in the ESC mode. The effects are similar to a strobe light and are quite annoying. It would be nice if there was a option to steady the screen, especially for any one susceptible to epileptic seizures. I'm not, but feel I could be if I had to view that screen for any length of time.

The game play is extremely difficult, i.e. the character starting money is not enough to adequately equip him to survive the initial missions. To that end, I'm wondering if there's a debug key to enable procurement of better equipment? Similar to the "space -dbg" one can add to the COC mod exe?

I've tried 4 or 5 times to begin the game as a "Loner" and haven't been able to get even to the military checkpoint, let alone past it. The Military is just too good at spotting and killing me. Is there some secret to it? It would be nice if one could start in a safer place in order to learn the new game mechanics. Starting in the Swamp isn't any easier.

I've had more success starting as a Monolith simply because there have been more friendly folks around while I'm trying to get the main starting point. But even still, running into any monsters is almost certain death without adequate weapons.

Regardless, it's a brilliant new game. Thank you!

I'm really enjoying the mod..thank you!

The stashes are not showing up on my map..even with Stash Selected on the PDA.
I found the problem. I had installed the mod over a winter terrain and it apparently masked the stashes. A clean install fixed the problem.

Thanks for the explanation.
Ok, think I'll need to select Master difficulty since it can happen more frequently on a lower level. I usually play on "Stalker" level and had it happen 3 times in a row while attacking the Bandit camp for Beard. The mugging has taught me to not be too attached to my stuff as I rarely find it again, and when I do, it's always been wreaked by the muggers.

Thanks again for making this game a whole lot more interesting. Great work!

Thank you. Now have version 1.1

Still am wondering why you refer the patch to "the game" and not the "full game"? What is the full game you are referring to?

Also, I'm curious about the parameters for a mugging? I seem to get mugged a lot and wonder if that's in lieu of being killed outright? I ask this because it happens without given a chance to heal first from taking a hit?

Really enjoying your mod. Like the dynamic factions. Fun. Thanks again.

Question:

I notice a patch for CoTZ but am confused by the description:

It says it's for the game, but not the full game. Is this game I've downloaded from the link above the "full game" and not "the game" that is referred to in the patch description?

I'm wondering if I need to apply the patch to the above download to make it ver 1.1?

I don't understand what is meant that this patch is for "the game, not the full game itself"...What's the full game itself?

I just downloaded COTZ yesterday which was presented in a Mod newsletter, and I'm trying to discern if I need this patch

Thank you Doc!

I greatly appreciate your dedication and hard work keeping this great game fresh and alive.

I actually like the old weapon selection as it's nostalgic and simple. I also like the improved effectiveness of pistols in the game. I've always liked pistols and thought they were too underpowered in most Stalker games. These seem right and are a fun addition to the game.

The mugging feature was quite a surprise. It also presents a fun challenge.

Thanks again!!

Can anyone enlighten me on how to edit a post. I wished to delete this or at least modify it as I discovered the answer to this the minute I thought it out. Naturally you need to patch using the latest patch for the latest version of the game. It is an obvious "no brain-er" that doesn't merit the above post.

I downloaded the six part version 0693 and started playing. Do I need to patch it or will it play OK as it? So far no problems
