*If appdata is not in the game directory. Open fs_game.ltx as a txt file, first line $app_data_root$ will show the way to it. Delete or rename this folder. This is the storage of your saves, logs and user.ltx file.

02. To remove mod addons, delete its db file from PATCHES folder.
03. If some db file were replaced with mod addon, replace it with original mod one.
Tips:
01. The highest difficulty in vanilla game is a laughstock. Try story difficulty here first to not cry later, if you are not ready to adapt and survive.
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.
06. If the crash is not repeatable, this is not a crash.

02. Text hangs on the screen - take off and on the helmet.
03. Out of memory crash - load last save.
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.

01. Open fs_game.ltx as a txt file, first line $app_data_root$ will show the way to it.
02. Open logs folder, open the log.ltx as a txt file, scroll to the bottom.
03. Copy everything after FATAL ERROR in the end of the file.
Alternative: Press Ctrl+V right after the crash to paste the needed log part in text field.

02.1 [experimental] longer weather distance (only for minimal settings and DX8)

Hey man whatsup hows going bro. I hope you are fine and in good condition. Just wanted to know how you guys doing on soc abr. Because it have been a long time since i have asked you guys about it. I hope i am not being annoying
Hello. Happy new year. No updates on SOC after restart of development. In plans are zrp+owr+aa detectors for searching artefacts+many gameplay tweaks, vanilla engine, vanilla graphics (with some enhancements) and weather. Good news owr animations will be sped up to be not so slow. So ABR SOC will be not as big as other abrs.
The point of no OGSR usage is it uses COP's shaders which makes SOC textures look ugly and reloading background muic on each save load. And I really wanted to make some vanilla looking mod so ABR SOC will be it.
In plans are classic abr thing - no stashes, looted weapons are not sellable and probably not usable or losing condition very fast, so people actually started to buy things. OFC trader will sell more goods. I'll cut out repeating quests since they corrupt game saves if you have too much quests in your PDA. Some side quest will become auto quest and will be triggered when you on location, BUT you will receive money without running backwords to the task giver (nice feature from ZRP). I also very liked ABC inferno mod, may be I'll try to take some things from there, but alas, it's very buggy. ABR SOC will have cut mutants (cat, fracture, burer, chimere, civil zombie). I already ported AA detectors, so you can't get artifacts from the ground without detectors, but they are still on their places. Also, COP styled UI will be added.
Anyways, now is final major update for ABR COP is in development, after that may be I'll make something for SOC, but a new update for CS is still needed. So I am not sure that ABR SOC will be here even after 1 year. Lately modding goes slow.
I don't see any reason to post articles since there is nothing to show really and I am not eager for the hype :)
I can say for sure, I will end these 3 mods (ofc if I will not suddenly die or something, lol), but it takes time. I am really keen to start ABR SOC, since it's something new. ABR COP gets boring to work with, a good sign that it is almost finished and it's time to move on.
Happy New year to you as well. I know brat that the mod progess often goes slow because its really unpredictable sometimes you are making a lot progress and then all of a sudden the progress can go pretty slow I understand you my friend. Well talking about these additions you mentioned they do look really interesting. Just make it the way you wanted it to be like. We will love it no matter what since I am a really big fan of your modifications. It doesnt matter how much long it takes as long as its polished and not buggy we can wait even for 2 years. I am also really hyped for cop and cs updates as well they sound really promising. Anyways I will be waiting for the updates and also for the soc abr. Thanks for your time. God bless take. Hope you are able to finish all of your projects. Good luck.
Thank you.
fantastic mod, sadly the glitch of strider's group attacking the freedom or duty squad you bring with you in yanov, is still present...:-(
Anyways, I'll try to check their logic files, since game devs did everything to ruin every quest in game by giving NPCs a chance to become hostile if you miss and hit them. Or anything else hits them, they can aggro on player. May be you just got unlucky, IDK.
R U sure you use the last version from this site? Since they have separate faction which is neutral to anyone. If you want, upload your saves somewhere and drop link here, I need to see things in game.
hey, sorry for the delay...anyway yes, version 2.1.8, i had played this mod before a fair while ago yet didn't get the glitch that time...
here's the savegame link: Mega.nz
I think I fixed that, saddly it will take effect only on NG. Looks like my fix didn't take a full effect, not Strider's team is really A SEPARATE FACTION NEUTRAL TO ANYONE EVEN TO MUTANTS. Monoliths join Duty\Fr*meh*dom, eveyrthing seems working.
You helped to make this mod better, good job, thanks.
Thanks. Yeah. They was not angry before you go to them with help. And there was no emission. They are neutral to everybody, since they have separate faction. It means logic fules somehow created this mess. I'll try to fix that, I just can't imagine what conditions might cause this.
I'll try to do something with this in the last update we are cooking right now. Thanks for the save, at least I have something to work with.
P.S.
Stalker Wiki states this is a vanilla bug, looks like even unofficial patch didn't fix that *sigh*
that's my first playthrough. tried without mod first and then with it and it feels amazing. (I'm in the Pripyat now)
everything works more balanced, from your start equipment, there you have only shotgun, ending the gun mechanics, where you aren't able to sell guns from your enemies, it makes so much sens, cause in previous game I found myself constantly collecting guns to make some money :)
now I'm like the typical newbie in the Zone forced to take more side quests, go for the stashes and hunt for the artifacts, it feels kinda Anomaly'ish, but still vanila story and gameplay.
also take off my hat for the graphics and enhanced soundtracks (idk how much and what soundtrack was added though), I often find myself thinking "oh, what a cinematic moment", the lighting make game younger for a couple of years for sure.
weapons feels so good man, moving and shooting, reloading, everything feels more balanced. the additional skins and guns added some type of fun too.
so big thanks to you brother! take care
Thanks a lot for kind words, good luck to you too!
