• Multi-core work for the game is enabled by default.
• The optimized CoC + Misery textures are installed. Increase in productivity, reduce the overall weight of the assembly, as well as an attempt to get rid of crashes due to lack of memory. Unfortunately, because of this slightly affected the appearance, but almost not noticeable for the eyes.
• If the game does not start, writes: "The STALKER Call of Pripyat" or something in this spirit is not found, then add the "-skip_reg" without quotes in the Object field after the space.
