Tips:

02. Make hard saves every now and then by ~save [name of the save file without brackets].
03. DX9 (recommended) is recommended for max settings and best experience. NO DISCUSSIONS.
04. For more graphical options use "more expert options" addon.
05. To turn off weapon inertion: ~ g_use_aim_inertion 0 - off, 1 - on.

04. Stack Trace: - load last save.
05. Any NPC headshot crash - load last save.
06. Any unrepeatable random crash - load last save.
07. After taking anabiotic you hear the rumble - save game and load it, use anabiotic
right after message about the Emission to avoid this glitch.
08. A very strong fps drop can occur between Eastern Tunnel and Jupiter Plant - save
game and load it.
09. You die in Jupiter underground from the emission - load the save before entering
the tunnel, probably emission will start in 1-2 minutes, wait for the end.
10. Sokolov or a military guy don’t go to evacuation point - just leave them behind, it
doesn’t effect ending anyhow.
11. During the Evacuation Mission squad stops and not moving - replay from the last
hardsave. Make hardsaves during the evac mission, when squad is on the move. It
is possible that this mission can have glitches if replayed from quicksaves.
12. During the Evacuation Mission crash on loading save - load that save again, try to
find a safe place and make another hard save.
13. If you have troubles or crashes with Evacuation mission, chose Story difficulty and
finish it at once without intermediate saves.
14. If you have crashes moving towards the mission marker on second visit to Pripyat
(Unknown, Radio interference), try to replay from autosave, or load save before
autosave, if you have one.
15. Exe file is modified, so antivirus might check it.
16. If you can't change resolution after you already selected one, go to user.ltx and change vid_mode ----x---- to your height and width resolution. Open fs_game.ltx as a txt file, the first line will show where is user data folder. Open user.ltx as a txt file.

Wrong installation or other mods used.
I'm once more playing cop with this gem. I'm always persuaded to play cop again by this mod. I'll suggest it to all of my stalker friends. You should definitely play CS ABR because it resolves all of the major problems with Clear Sky and the faction war. Only awaiting soc abr. I'm hoping it comes out soon.
Thank you for kind words. ABR SOC is only in the plans.
Now the final version of ABR COP is in development. Outfit and weapon upgrades have been changed. Outfit protection were re-calculated to the new more dangerous anomalies. Now the upgrades are linear so you don't have to choose between two useful or two useless upgrades like it was in vanilla COP.
Weapon upgrades are changed completely and re-calculated. Flatness upgrades are deleted, weapon have their real bullet speeds. RPM upgrades are deleted, automatic weapons will have their real rpm values.
Hip-fire\handling upgrades are deleted too, same as weight reduction, these two are merged with accuracy. I'll write about this more detailed. Accuracy stat shows fire_dispersion_base value, it is how a bullet moves from the dead center when you shoot not zooming. Handling stat shows crosshair_inertion value, the speed of crosshair getting narrow after walking\running. Now crosshair speed is fast for everything, so sniper rifle will not restore crosshair for two hours. That's why handling\hip-fire stat is removed.
But funny thing is weight reduction and handilng upgrades tweaked PDM_disp_base, PDM_disp_vel_factor, PDM_disp_accel_factor. This is how wide crosshair is in static position, actualy these parameters are about accuracy too. So, in vanilla you could upgrade handling and weapon could be same accurate (even if not greater), than after upgrading accuracy. But the accuracy weapon stat shows only accuracy upgrade stat, not handling's. So there is 3 split accuracy upgrades in vanilla, why? I don't know. Now you get what you upgrade. Accuracy, Durability, Recoil and RPM for semi-automatic weapons are meaning what they mean, without hidden stats you don't know about.
You can have all upgrades with 2 toolsets. The third toolset now is needed only for exo running and 3rd gen NV. Since Pripyat is 2 hours of gameplay near the end.
So overall the mod finds its balance in damage and protection terms.
Also, I plan to remake weapon\ammo\outfit descriptions. So it will be more informative and will describe some config stats you don't see, like bullet speed, effective firing range, maybe even a recoil comparison with the same caliber weapons. To help you choose weapons beside accuracy, rpm and damage.
Some Nimble weapons will return to the world to be found or bought.
Soundtrack is reassambled, some tracks are added to night music. There will be option to switch day and night music for replayability. My music from CS to COP and a darker Jupiter (with nature and weather like Pripyat has) options are planned too.
Anabiotic is probably gonna be cut. I used it on the last walkthrough and catched infinite rain bug, which never happened to me when I didn't used it. And after all, COP is the only game with working emission, sleeping it over is a crime, hehe.
Then I have CS. I almost remade UI in COP style myself, new hud is very slim and transparent. I plan to remove infinite weight and sellable guns. Instead there will be lootbale money from stalkers (thanks for Decane1 for this option for CS SRP). In terms of economy it's the same as guns. But without the need to collect them and drag to trader. A great thanks to Decane1 for helping me adapt butcher mod for CS SRP, now you can cut off mutant parts like in COP. Garbage should have darker weather and nature, now it's too cheerful. I already added additional mutants and cut mutants (civil zombie, chimera, cat, burer, izlom) from basix monstrocity. So more meat to shoot at. May be I'll touch upgrades in CS too.
So, there are tons of plans, and too little of time. May be I'll just make something for ABR SOC inbetween, may be I'll make something after all that work. ABR SOC will be a tiny mod anyways, it will have vanilla engine, OWR mod, may be NPC skins, expanded soundtrack and some balance tweaks (butcher mod is working already, unsellable weapons, lootbale money from stalkers). I already added working artefact detector from AA.
I spent year on OGSR build and it was trashed, when I found out that it has soundtrack bug, it starts over after the save - breaks the immersion completely. And it doesn't support vanilla SOC shaders, SOC has beautiful shaders (still in terms of gameplay the SOC is worse for me, I have right to have my opinion, I like CS and COP more with ABR mods ofc.
I understand there are some people, true unbiased gamers, who is open minded and ready to some different point of view on the Zone, who waits our ABR mods. But, we have our lives to live and IRL things to do. It's sad to admit but we grew up since 2018 and don't have too much time on modding like it was before. May be it;s just not that much interesting anymore too.
I'll do my best to finish all the plans, I'm not gonna quit, but there are tons of good games you can try while waiting our stalker mods.
Welp, this is how things are going ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wow wow amazing additions and tweaks you had been adding to your mod I am hyped for em. I hope you guys are able to release it soon I know you blokes have Irl problems but hope you guys are able to overcome them soon. I really liked the cs additions especially the ones that modifies garbage weather and add new mutants to it thus adding a whole new charm to garbage I will love if you guys could also add some additions to faction wars as well because sometimes they are just literally boring af. I mean if you can. Anyways i will be waiting for the update good luck bro.
Nah, the faction war is at the best as it could ever be, while being stable in the same time. It wasn't perfect from the start anyways. Atleast now it's faster and it's finishable. It's really optional money grind, so you can choose this or just go thru the story. I'll try to keep the balance as it is now. Faction war will allow you to gain cash faster, but without it you still will be able to afford good gear but a bit later.
Also, I forgot to mention, all reload animations will be speed up a bit. Weapon draw and holster animations too. So you will be able to switch between weapons 2 times faster.
Good luck to you too.
**** talking about cs abr makes me want to play it again.
hehe
Wow reloading animations have been speeded up another a magnificent addition now it will be much more fun shooting the **** out of people in stalker clear sky. Man i just cant wait for it release i am just really hyped lol. I really love yourv mods and especially the weapon pack as well. Talking about the faction war i guess your opinion is right most of the people participate in it for money. Anyways good luck on your modding adventure and as always i will be waiting for thec release
