A.R.E.A. is a standalone project based on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy. The project affects all aspects of the game with no exceptions, improving their quality and diversity. The main goal was to create a more realistic Exclusion Zone, where each trip will be a unique and rough experience.

I've got the two parts and the update, plus the revisions, yet I'm stuck on just the tiny little window with no progress whatsoever. I had just got it too. I installed it seperate to CoP AND over CoP, and it's the same result!

I highly doubt it's supposed to be stuck for more than 10 minutes

Bugger me, it's working by itself now! Just reinstalled CoP.

A.R.E.A. is a standalone project. You don't need to install CoP for it. Just unzip part 1 and part 2 in same drectory, then do same with last update, replacing all files.
