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:

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.

04. Stack Trace: - load last save.
05. Any NPC headshot 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.

4 to 5 burers in the Iron Forest Anomaly is for sure very fun...
Yes, they are indeed.
If you're having trouble, change your tactics.
So glad I found this hidden gem. Every mods and weapon pack that I loved is included in this and your tweaks is exactly my cup of tea! Thanks a lot :)
P.S patiently waiting for ABR SOC. gonna hold another playthrough till you release it. definitely playing ABR CS after this
You're welcome, hope you will get no bugs.
Just be aware that ABR CS and ABR SOC will be not exactly like ABR COP. All they are different games, so mods are different too, they have same resources (weapon pack, weather, npc skins), but have different game play corresponding to vanilla games. It's not like copy and paste conveyor, it's more like different buildings built with the similar materials.
suree thanks for the heads up! i'm pretty sure i'll like it anyway no matter the changes, flaws and all, apple doesn't fall far from the tree after all :)
about the bugs, actually encountered one but it's more like my fault haha. usually when i play CoP, I always add this in the console for quick hard save method.
bind_console save quick kf6
bind_console load quick kf9
but then the game directly crashed just after opening the exe. easily solved by deleting user.ltx and just relaunching the game and not doing the bind_console things. anyway is quicksaving ingame (the one from controls) not gonna corrupt my savefile?
Stalker is tricky game, but in this mod quick saves are save. I usually save via console: ~ save [name of the save].
Since the release of 2.0 there was only 2 times, when saves became bugged.
One person had strange bug in Pripyat, the game coudn't be finished, and it had to be replayed from the last autosave, or save before that.
Once on final mission I had a save right before the chopper evacuation. It was loading ok, but on reloading it again game crashed, same was with new saves. So I just put game on story difficulty and carefully finished last 5 minutes of the game.
That's the only save related problems I know. I advice create unique saves via console here and there, but this is more like unique quicksaves actually. Stalker is very unstable on itself, I read that some npc might die while recording quicksave on hdd/ssd and this might cause troubles. But this is a failure of engine architecture.
Mod is stable, but it's better to create unique saves as a checkpoints. I use console, no problems ecxept that unique one time I described. If you wanna be extra save, make saves via menu.
Though, our tester plays almost only on quicksaves and it's ok for him.
Just read the info about bugs in the archive, the last mission is the most bug potential one in the game, including this mission might stop, cause you load a save which was not lucky one and everybody just stands.
halfway through the storyline but still haven't had any CTD or major bugs and it's definitely a good thing. gonna play this now with your advice, if i don't comment for a while that means i'm enjoying the hell out of this and didn't encounter any gamebreaking bugs. thanks for the detailed explanation. gonna replay this mod again when you release the final version :D
Ok. Yeah, we prepare final version, but there will be no many changes really, just some tweaks. The most significant thing is faster reload animation for all shotguns. Final version will be released around the spring 2023. Same for CS.
Hi, this is a bit of a specific request but would it be possible to add support for 'M.E.H.U.D - Misery Edition'? In my opinion, it's the best HUD mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and it works almost perfectly with ABR, but there are two issues:
1. The icon that shows what ammo you're using blocks part of the minimap
2. There is a red radio icon next to the minimap, which while not disruptive or anything, is still annoying.
I doubt it would take more than an hour at max to fix these two simple issues and add the HUD as an add-on. Would that be possible?
Nah, man. There will be a final update in the spring, there will be sped up shotguns and some other things. Since this must be stopped someday, the mod is literally finished. It is stable. I could make requests until end of my life, but I think there are much more interesting things to do, like not to mod stalker for example.
I understand you. You know how ABR was created? Why? I launched misery, and didn't like to shot in the boar for 10 minutes and depleting stamina after two steps. Cutting stuff from Misery and changing it would take years, I thought so back then. So I started this ABR PACK, then it was ABR MOD 1.0, then it was ABR MOD 2.0, then it was ABR CS, now it is ABR SOC.
Mods are stable, yes, they are not for everybody, but everybody may unpack stuff and start to mod things, I see people making things I even can't imagine how they do that. Starting merging mods may be even funny.
I could do this, technically. But then, somebody else will ask for other things and this will never end. GSC threw half-baked games for full prices and happy now, they do not care fixing their bugs. But why modders must do things other people want? Whole life can be spent on it, for some it's fun, for me it's not fun anymore.
Sure, it's your mod after all, and it's just a hud, by the way; it's not anything gameplay-related so don't get mistaken. Could you at least tell me how I could fix this myself, though?
