Now, I can't find the artifact to cure cancer, even though I am standing in the mission spot. Man this mod blows, the quest descriptions are garbage and don't help AT ALL.
If I feel like getting anything done at all, all I can do is spend hours watching someone else figure it out on youtube ... this is bad game design.

So... how do I actually find the space bubble? I have foresters special detector out, using it ... aaaaaand nothing.

As soon as I get near the tank with the actual space bubble from the original game, the task jumps back to the clearing and the giant flame anomaly.

But, as soon as I walk towards it, the task jumps back to the tank area.
And, I have had the detector out and scoured BOTH areas up down left right down and center.

What exactly does it want me to do?

Thanks Tim, your advice on deleting the gameplay folder saved my anomaly gameplay

Ok so I'm doing the quest find the anomalous household items, and I have combed the entire dead city three times now, and nothing. The last object is nowhere to be found. It's the "jar" ? and its location is SUPPOSED to be on a rooftop somewhere, the description I found said to climb the north walls east facing ladder? to the roof. Well, the entire dead city only has one building with a ladder and roof, and it's not up there. On a side note, I did find the "midas" artifact, but the room it is sitting in is impossible to jump back out of.
Although I may leave it alone because I've read since it's worth 5 million rubles no trader can even afford to buy it from you, thus making it worthless.
I suppose I could try to pile up a bunch of garbage items in the room to make a pile to the roof, but thats besides the point. I want the last household item.
I have the spoon, plate, kettle, bottle? and doll. I am using the best artifact detector and it doesn't find it either, anywhere in the city. And no, I did not find it and stash it somewhere else, I already checked that twice.

None of us "are" a native English speaker :)

(pretty sure yours is Deutsch)

so I have the quest to find the decoder in room 26 in pripyat.

problem is the key doesn't work at all. the door makes an opening noise but doesnt actually open.

The first time I was walking up to this place, the "stalker diary" page was just sitting on the ground floor, right out in the open.

The door was wide open before I ever get there, and the only thing in the room is a skat-9. No decoder, no more informational pages, nothing.

So I reload it thinking it was bugged, and now the key wont even open the door (which is probably still an empty room anyways)

what gives? the quest marker never goes away either so obviously there is a missing quest progression of some sort.

just keeps crashing. pointless to deal with this thing.
installed stalker, patched to 1.0006
drag and drop memories of the zone 1.1 gamedata and bin x64
drag and drop mousewheel fix
drag and drop 1.2
drag and drop hotfix

crash crash and more crash. pointless. crashes either with regular loader or the "new" x64 .exe

it just looks like skyrim foliage ported into stalker. what actual upgrades are there?

man this mod is terrible. I dont see how people can even play it. there is so much quest information missing it is literally impossible to complete half the game. and you'd better pray you remember the npc you were talking to who gives the quest information because it disappears directly afterwards and no longer shows up in your pda. terrible mod. terrible economy too. the quests that do have any information are often flat out wrong to boot, quests will not be in the map they say they are. even overlooking all of this, maps are dead areas with zero respawn, once cleared it is nothing but a walking simulator. mutants are bullet sponges too. thats easy enough to deal with because your characters run speed is great, but still, this mod has terrible design choices in many aspects and should only be considered a novelty.

Thanks, thats literally the only thing I haven't tried, just using the sleeping bag.

Thanks for that lovely non answer. Useless comment.
I moved through the entire map after also moving through the spot itself and talking to every npc and reloading a save where I killed them all.

You shouldn't assume everyone hasn't tried commonn sense solutions and just complains. If I hadn't tried everything (and said as much) I wouldn't be asking here.

Dr, im sure youre some stalker star for your mod and questlines, but god damn could please include some kind of text on these new quests? especially the side quests?

they are so vague they are literally uncompleteable.
I have a mission to lead some rookies into the zone and teach them how to survive.

Thats the entire quest description. we are in the exact spot and no quest update.
I'm going to assume I have to teach them how to cook mutant meat, because at this point short of killing everyone, its the only thing I haven't tried.

Theres just not enough information to do some of these quests, and the npcs dont offer any help either.

How are you supposed to refill UDP? batteries don't work, drag and drop doesn't work, nothing works.

Absolutely required for English speakers, pass on this mod until then.

Doesn't work, you just fall through the floor

Any advice on getting the military friendly as a free stalker? I managed to give the tools to their tech in agroprom, but in cordon no matter what I do I can't get close enough to give the tools to their tech, even paid off AND disguised as military. I noticed there is a single spot in pripyat where there are neutral mercs, even if you haven't paid them off or anything, thus giving an easy in to do work for them. Is there any spot like this for the military?

That one has always been bugged in my playthroughs, its unreachable.

... weirdest bug ever. I just had every quest in my pda auto complete upon changing levels to army warehouses, and the army warehouses re-unlocked as a location, also the bear detector re-unlocked as an item, even though I'm like 15 days into this playthrough.

The find the wish granter and explore lab x-18? (the one in pripyat) both auto completed even though I did not actually do them ...

Now I have no idea what to do next. Story mode, if that helps.

Just before this happened, sidorovich gave me a task to gather x7 bandit patches and the quest would not complete, even with 16 patches in my inventory, nor placing them in the blue box and re gathering them.

I tried reloading an earlier save and the same thing happened, every quest auto completed.

anyone?

It is 100% true. I.imgur.com

That lists all the changes complete makes.
Complete was made in 2009 and has not been updated since.
It boggles my mind how anyone can recommend it in todays day and age.
If you want a vanilla, bug free, and STABLE experience, just use the latest ZRP (zone reclamation project) which complete was actually built on, except its version is outdated and can actually introduce some bugs, rather than fix them.

Disguises have now made loners hostile to me permanently, even though I'm a loner. And the problem doesn't crop up until I've level changed a couple times, no way to go find what save changed this. I'm a loner who disguised as an ecologist, and now random loners are permanently hostile to me. If I shoot them back, the entire faction goes hostile, its retarded.

Also the passing out function is dumb, I can be at 80% health and just insta die.

BAD DESIGN, not realistic at all. I want to like this mod, but its turning into a very poor hybrid of misery and anomaly, with all the worst possible of each.

And stamina is just ridiculous. Who thought these were good design choices?

When I use anything above full dynamic lighting, the screen becomes garbled and jagged horizontal lines ... My directx is up to date, as are my drivers.

Using an rx 570 if that helps. I have the screen set to native resolution which is 1920 x 1080. Anyone have any ideas?

Is there a way to reset faction relations? For absolutely no reason whatsoever Fanatic became hostile to me when travelling to the rookie village. I've never so much as shot a loner, much less killed one. Fanatic, and ONLY fanatic became hostile to me after fast travelling to the rookie village.

I want to like this mod but it has some seriously bad coding somewhere going on.

This is not to mention the squads of hostile zombies that get randomly assigned to me for no reason whatsoever and show up the next time I fast travel, only to be blasted immediately.

And lastly, Hip ran off and died for no reason, and theres no way to respawn her, every time I spawn devushka, a random rookie appears instead.

I really don't want to start over, because whats to stop it all from just happening again?

Can someone please walk me through how to respawn Hip?

Using debug option, escape to menu, hit S, tried to spawn devushka, but a random rookie just shows up instead. I'm sitting in the middle of the rookie village, Hip is dead on the ground by the railway bridge, however her quest has NOT failed. I still need to get her the toz gun ...

And I can't seem to spawn her back to life, half the time the game crashes when doing anything in the spawn menu ...

Anyone?

So my "hip" npc ran off on her own from Cordon for no reason hunting mutants, and of course died.
The quest to get her her gun has not failed though, is there a way I can spawn her back in to complete it, and if so how?

I've been told to open the debug console and look for devushka but a more succinct eplanation would be really great if anyone knows one.

Thank you for reading this.

Did you extract all the files to one folder? Thats the only way it will work, overwrite anything already there.

Ok, so the fast travel problem is somehow related to the debug menu option.
Turning debug function on allows fast travel, but as soon as you turn debug menu off, no matter what ingame options you use, fast travel no longer works. Whats with this bug?
It used to work just fine for the first two days I was playing, but since I accidentally turned on debug menu just once, it broke fast travel ability. Do I really have to reinstall the entire game just to fix this?

Debug mode puts a giant wall of text right in the middle of the screen though. You cant be expected to play that way.

That worked, thank you. It was the debug menu option turned on, turning it off fixes it. Thanks again.

My fast travel just stopped working out of nowhere, and none of the ingame options will change it and make it work again. At first it beautiful, names, descriptions, even stashes could be fast traveled to. Now, nothing works. At all. The only thing I haven't tried is resetting the entire game to default.

This is so frustrating, I was just starting to enjoy myself too. Right click on pda map does absolutely nothing now.

I hit a random button and now I cant get rid of this giant wall of text "actor info" and associated scripts all running in real time in the middle of the screen.

Can't remember how I turned it on but restarting the game does not get rid of it.

Anyone?
