Got a LOST ALPHA Game problem?
Don't post it here or anywhere else on Facebook. Why? The ModDB and FB formats make posts descend to the bottom with each new one and your concerns can easily be lost. Too many pages and posts can make your problems disappear.
Where to go?
The GSC Forums LOST ALPHA section is designed to post Game problems and to provide answers. In addition the format makes it easy to find previous problems posted where you may not have to ask.

With the announcement/new vid of STALKER 2 I see more traffic here, so I wanted to give a quick guideline on the different LA DC versions.
LA DC 1.4007: Is a mix of all the original teams work along with the RU team. The main thing it did was get rid of a bunch of cut scenes and the “Illuminati” bits along with lots of fixes and adding in more side quests. Must use the Storyline changes v1.08 mod from the launcher for full effect of the story changes.
LB's LADC 1.4007 Compilation: You must have LADC installed. My comp is just an extension of 1.4007, read all the notes. It retains the vanilla ideals, but updates/fixes some more stuff. It adds in the item usage mod for immersion that was released on the RU VK page as well. Also includes an unpacked Storyline changes v1.08 with additional changes by me, so no need to use the mod. This comp will only work with a few mods mentioned in the description. Also contains a newer configurator and bins. Link below:
LA DCE: Was solely made by the RU team, none of the original team (which includes me) had any involvement in it. It does have lots of cool fixes/updates, but it is more like "misery" type game play. The save system has also been changed to a check point save system. Read more about it from my article below:
*All DCE discussion is to take place under the DCE articles comments section.
**LA DC/most mods made for DC and my compilation ARE NOT COMPATIBLE WITH DCE
There is a new version of LA out (DC Extended). Check out the details below for more information.
This news post is to be used more as a resource for LA updates from the RU team/modders.
We wish you a Merry Christmas with the release of Lost Alpha Developer's Cut 1.4007!
We wish you a Merry Christmas with a special full release of Lost Alpha Developer's Cut 1.4005!
THIS IS A ONE STOP SHOP FOR PEOPLE THAT DON’T WANT TO SEARCH AROUND FOR A NUMBER OF LADC 1.4007 UPDATES/MODS AND WHO WANT TO PLAY MORE OF A NEAR COMPLETE...

Has anyone experienced a LOT of crashes in Dead City with
stack trace:
"0023:5CBCA659 xrGame.dll, CDialogHolder::operator=()
0023:5CBC0AC7 xrGame.dll, CDialogHolder::operator=()
0023:5CA1F6B0 xrGame.dll, CDialogHolder::operator=()
[error][ 183] : Cannot create a file when that file already exists."?
Most of my crashes during this playthrough happened in Dead City either with the error above or just
"[error][ 8] : Not enough memory resources are available to process this command."
which I did manage to "fix" by changing the rendering...
Could this be caused by the free A-life mode?
Nothing to do with A life. I have crashed there with similar errors. Knowing that (and it doesnt happen with everyone) I just do a vid_restart once in a while, if I know I will be exploring there for a long session.
Managed to bypass it, had an earlier save to test from the start of the level and drove through it without stop to where the trader is, avoiding the center square where a huge mutant population is with the occasional merc and it didn't crash so I loaded the main save, backed up from the center, went around all buildings, even the trader since when NPC dots would pop on the mini-map it would also crash and went straight to the Military Warehouses. Phew!
Thanks again for the quick response! :D
Some actual gameplay-footage in this one ....Damn i'm definitely gonna need another upgrade round on my comp :P
Edit : releasedate = April 28th 2022
I have an idea for a carry weight mod.

Lol at Youtu.be
And look at those floorboards give way as he dances!
Nice catch mate. For me, stalker 2 is better than half life 3
Good times (If I can get a GFX card before it releases :) )
ohhh good eye man, didn't notice that, really nice detail!!
I know, mate! The only thing that would spoil Stalker 2 for me is if they took away quick-save in favour of wey-points.
Wow, just looks amazing, those anomalies in the swamp area were just so well done, you could really "feel" the weight of them! And I like the flesh running into it, a little homage to the first time you see an anomaly in SOC and the flesh runs in :P
It is definitely a lot more gore that way :D
