I think it's definitely a faulty texture, probably from the texture pack the original DMM:PE uses.

This mod is very stable. I played for a whole three in-game days without a single corrupted save. For comparison, my two playthroughs of DMM: Anon Edition both ended in a corrupted save and I only played for an in-game day or two.

I only experienced one crash while playing, something related to the render .dll files. I think it had something to do with AtmosFear. It was not a big deal. I just relaunched the game and it worked fine.

I did notice one strange thing, the ground texture in the northern part of the power plant is glitched. A huge piece of the ground is pitch black. That was the only bug in this mod I encountered.

Good work on this, UberMedic!

How did you fix the save corruption bug?

The patch is included here.
Drive.google.com

Is there an unpacker available that can unpack the game files?

You killed the military trader, that is why he had a bunch of stuff.
In the Xiani config file you can make it so that traders have their inventory removed on death.

Yep, still crashes.

There's a lot of changes and improvements. Some of the most notable changes are that traders don't buy guns for as much anymore, sleep is no longer needed, tweaked smart terrains in the Garbage and I imported the minigun from OLR. OWR3 is now included as an optional addon as well, patched to work with my mod.

The mod now includes OWR3 as an optional addon.

Most often it's something like this or LeDoggo's crash. Always happens after playing for two or three in-game days. I figured out that sleep seems to affect spawns in some way but skipping sleep didn't help.

I think I have found the cause of these crashes. After I played for around two/three in-game days I accepted a new task from Wolf. After that my game crashed when I tried to save/load. I reloaded a save before I accepted the task and it worked. There seems to be a weird "breaking point" and if you accept new tasks after this breaking point things will get ****** up. If you save your game with an active task after the breaking point your save game will be bricked. If you try to change levels with an active task after this breaking point the game will crash. Having an active task after this mysterious breaking point is the trigger.

I have no idea why this happens or how to fix it. I think it's related to respawns somehow. I wasn't aware of this bug when I tested the mod, I never encountered it. I'm sorry this happened.

You probably need to merge some files that are being overwritten.
EDIT: As of version 1.24 OWR3 patched to work with my mod is included as an optional file.

Probably. I only changed the price of weapons and nothing more. So those changes would probably get overwritten but it's not important.

Thanks, Uber! Your upload of Xiani's Freeplay here on ModDB is actually how I got introduced to the mod in the first place.
Yeah, I kinda messed up with the icons haha. It completely slipped my mind to use the green arrow icons.

You are right, the mod isn't very stable but I never had those problems you're experiencing. I can take quests from Lukash and reload the game just fine. Same for transitioning between levels. In the Monolith Control level did you do anything special like destroy the Wish Granter? I'm thinking that could trigger a script or something that could mess with the mod. The AI graph in the power plant levels is sometimes buggy as well.

Did you start a new game after replacing the file? A new game might be required. Quicksaves are also notoriously unreliable in SoC, maybe sticking to hard saves will help.

Yes, I am interested. I tried to port it to OGSR Engine myself but I could not make it work. If you know how to do it you can send me a message. :)

Crashing every 5-10 minutes is not normal. I never experienced that myself. The game sometimes crashes on me but that's due to bugs that were already present in vanilla SoC and those crashes are nowhere near that frequent.

Have you tried placing the vanilla xrgame.dll file back in the game directory? That could be the cause of your problem.

Sorry but you're on your own with that one, I don't play Anomaly anymore. You can try the faster respawn version and see if that helps.

They don't spawn around campfires but they gather around them.

Just wanted to mention that this mod does actually work with full dynamic lighting. I tested it just now and it works fine.

Malwarebytes flags xrGame.dll as malware. Is this a false positive?

To do this you would have to look at the vanilla Anomaly files and copy/paste their mutant spawns into all of my mods files.

Glad you like the mod!
I'm not quite sure what the code is, you can use the debug menu to spawn zombies and find out it which one it is.

Some spawn sections in the smart_terrain files have been changed, it could be that. This also happens with Lukash sometimes. I have no idea why either, sorry.

In case anyone was wondering, this pack works with the Hidden Anomalies mod.

These two mods edit the exact same squad_descr files, which obviously makes them incompatible.
You can try patching it by copying my changes over to the BSM files. That should work.

I think it will work if you load a save before taking the quest.

In configs/scripts/(level name)/smart you will find smart_terrain text files. These files contain spawn info. The Storylines mod has added new entries in the "[exclusive]" section. I believe the new entries are at the bottom of the list. If you copy/paste these new entries into the same smart_terrain files in my mod you could patch it.
I don't know what edits are made in the simulation.ltx file. That file is huge so you'll need to find out for yourself.

The Storylines mod edits the same files but it only seems to add some stuff in the [exclusive] section in the smart_terrain files. You can try copying the changes over to my mod.
It also seems to edit the simulation file. I don't believe that file is absolutely necessary for my mod to run.
