Hi Guys. I accepted a mission to go down into the tunnels in Agroprom to find missing Dutiers in the catacombs. Before heading down I was warned by a Duty sniper on the roof that they had not had time to remove all the explosives that the military had put in place down in the tunnels to keep people out. Later after equipping myself with the right suit I found in a stash located by the downed chopper in the radar forest and wearing two shell artifacts I was able to survive the explosives. After battling various NPC's I came across a scientist who was very thankful that I saved his life. He told me about his buddies who were attacked by the military near the x18 laboratory in Dark Valley and asked if I could find his buddies of which some might still be alive. I found one scientist in a green trailer in Dark Valley who gave me further information about one of his friends escaping into the woods. He also told me that the military had closed the door in the X18 lab to the second level but he did not have the access code. He suggested that perhaps someone around the area might have that code. I already searched every dead body I could find including the first level of x18 but so far I have not found the access code to the second level entrance door in x18. This is not the collect all the documents mission which I already completed a long time ago so the previous door codes do not work. What am I missing here?

Thank you for the quick response. Unfortunately after following your very clear step by step instructions Stalker GAMMA is crashing to the desktop after attempting to load a saved game or even start a new game. Any ideas on why this might be happening? I end up unchecking the no_p mod and it restores functionality.

Hello. You seem to indicate that perhaps you got this mod to work in removing the porn magazines from Stalker. Are you running GAMMA? If so can you please provide a step by step procedure as to how you installed this mod? Unfortunately the provider of this mod did not include any installation instructions. Thank you.

Amen brother. If anyone ever figures out how to completely remove these magazines from Stalker GAMMA please let me know. I would love to see them replaced with a Survival type magazine such as Survivor's Edge. If anyone knows how to do this please post a step by step procedure for us that know absolutely nothing about modding. Thank you.

I have installed this game from the original CD that I bought new and then installed the Win10 patch including the DX9 update but I'm having a weird problem. Does anyone know why my plane will never take off? I go everywhere on the ground as my plane can never get airborne no matter if the flaps are down and I'm going very fast while pulling back on the stick. All the of the planes surface controls work correctly with the joystick axis. My Win10 PC specs are: AMD Ryzen 3600 6 core processor, Asrock mATX 570 Motherboard with 32 gigs of ram, GeForce 1600 Ti video card and a Microsoft SideWinder Precision Pro joystick with included Microsoft USB dongle adapter.

Hi CamaradaNimble,

Yes, I know the original game came out in 2007 and required lower performance hardware. However, the x64 version is much more hardware demanding than the original game because many updated graphic enhancements were added.

Thank you for this walkthrough and all the hard dedicated work you have put into it for a mod that is well worth playing several times over.

My understanding is with the x64 version your minimum system requirement to play this game requires that a gaming rig be equipped with a 64 bit version of Windows 7 (or later) and at least an I5 4570 processor, 8 gigs of ram and an Nvidia GTX 670 video card.

(OGSE 2.10R with 2nd patch) Anybody know how many anomalous bolts need to be gathered for the quest point to be satisfied so that it allows you to complete the quest by going back to the informant in the bar to collect your reward? I currently have 24 bolts. Also, I have not been able to find anything in the Dead City for the moonshine quest given by the old hunter. Is this a broken quest?

Running OGSE 0693 with 2.10R patch and the second patch as well.

I have collected 24 anomalous bolts to date but still the quest completion has not triggered. How many bolts must I collect for this quest to be satisfied so that I can go back to the informant in the bar and get my reward?

Thank you.

Not sure about prisoner quest as I need more info from you. As to the ammo boxes 3 are under ground in tunnels located near the big hangar type building in the Garbage area and the four ammo box is located under ground in a cavern behind the big hanger. (highly radioactive metal scrap pile)

5 and I also placed the note in the safe and then stepped back and a flash will occur then your ready to move on. The books are not always visible to the eye as they can be in locked cabinets or behind or above a toilet.

Does anyone know why after saving the messenger from the building in the Dead City by finding all the books and putting them back in the safe and then escorting him to the Freedom base the game crashes right after the messenger gives me the second half of the code needed for the brain scorcher? It crashes after about 3 seconds after he gives me the second half of the code every single time!!! I can't go further in the game. ARRRG!

UPDATE: I got around the crashing by talking with Minor (messenger) before I crossed over into the Freedom Military Warehouse area. In other words while your still in the Dead City map make sure you talk to Minor before passing through the EXIT into the Freedom area.

THANK YOU. For months I have been trying to figure out why after patching to 2.10R OGSE would no longer start without crashing to the desktop. After installing the MVC C++ 2005 through 2017 Hybrid you mention in your post I can now run the game perfectly with the 2.10R patch.

Can anybody please tell me how to trigger the BTR mission?

You need to have stopped proceeding to the Brain Scorcher when Well Wisher chimes into your radio and tells you about the brief case in the Yantar machine factory. Do this mission and you will begin the processes of finding both halves of the code you need to enter into the laptop before turning off the brain scorcher machine.

Does anybody know why I instantly die when I get about 20 feet from reaching the master in the dead city underground flooded train cavern? I'm at full health both mentally and physically and I have all the information from the 3 scientist concerning the triangulation. I'm in a scientist suit with PSI protection device on my head and psi protecting artifacts and also have plenty of oxygen but I just suddenly die when I get close enough. I can't even start the conversation.

SOLVED: I thought I had found all three scientist in the dead city and surrounding area but I had not. One of them was down in the sewer tunnel by the red hammer and sickle. Once I found him it triggered the location of the entrance to the masters lair. Although I had already found this entrance earlier if you try to approach the master you will just die every time within feet of reaching him because the psi helmet device has not been reconfigured yet by the colonel.

Are you checking under the fallen tree in the small pond to the north of your starting base town in Cordon?

I just completed the quest called "The question of immortality" in OGSR by gathering the needed three artifacts and then taking them to the X-18 Lab and taking them near the Fruit Punch anomaly which converts them into the Dark Soul artifact which you give to the Dead Stalker. You then have the option of accepting a side quest after asking the Dead Stalker about the increased destruction in the lab and he tells you about the Baby Giant (pseudo-giant) that is disturbing him and he suggest to you to create a powerful hand made anomaly to use in help killing him because he is to powerful to kill with weapons alone. This is where I'm stuck. How do you create a hand made anomaly?

SOLVED: Never mind I figured it out. You have to place the artifact in your hand and hold down on the left mouse button long enough for it to activate and create the anomaly that it originally came from.

Also, I have only been able to play this mod using the DirectX9 options otherwise it will crash to the desktop with no error message after only a few minutes of gameplay if I use DirectX11. I do not have any other STALKER game installed as this is a standalone. As long as I use DirectX9 I can play for hours without issue before a CTD will eventually occur.

Here are my system specs: (Yes I know it's aging hardware)

O/S: Win7 64 Professional (fully updated with all Windows Update DirectX version options)(All recommended support software installed for OGSR)
Mainboard: ASUS P7H55M-Pro (Using onboard HD audio chipset)
Processor: Intel I7 870 Quad core
Memory: 16 gig Corsair Vengeance DDR3
Video Card: PNY GTX680 2gig Enthusiast Edition (Nvidia driver 442.19)(Both Nvidia audio options disabled in device manager)
