Woohooo!
Nice!!! you deserve all the votes!
Just got a mad crave to replay stalker, searched for a mod, found Anomaly, and I was super surprised that just a couple of hours ago, you guys released a new update! Devs seem super legit, see you in The Zone, stalker.
Good stuff!
"Da'shet" another uptade
RIP addons
not mine bro :p
Moddb.com
yea boiiiiiiii
Awesome!
Thanks for the update Anomaly Devs :)
juuuuuuuuust in time for the mod of the year vote
Now i'm encountering some strange black/grey squares on the ground, in the mainbase at the Clear Sky base (the building where Cold resides, both floors, and the one with Kalancha). Could those be missing textures or something?
Also, the artifact belt in the HUD is now the halfway up in the screen, to the left (instead of in the bottom left corner) I'm playing on 1920x1080
Does anyone else ran into these things?
Yes Valkyr19 I have the black/grey squares you mentioned at the CS base.
thank god i didnt install any addons.. phew! Next time can you upload two versions of the update, one with previous updates and one without. Cos i didnt really need to install the previous ones again and its just a waste of time.
Scoped MP7 still has the old weight values. Loolz.
Which is a bit annoying as it is my go-to weapon for a lot of close range tussles...
Thanks for the update, greatly appreciated!
Incredible!
Very cool. Thank you.
Yes! Great to see ESPECIALLY the new Debug Stuff for future addons! However, now I need to go back and probably fix some things with my Trader Overhaul... All well.
my french language addon is already accessible ! :)

Damn i just installed quite a few addons...

Same! I wasn't sure if it was just me, but I couldn't find a cause for it, and it was quite annoying. Gonna stop playing for a while until this is addressed.
Same here. No addons installed.
Hmmm... I had the same thing with addons. Then i removed the addon (Specialisation Based Loadouts 1.5) and game was running perfectly, i had to start new game though. Try to reinstall everything from scratch.
Basstrap you saved me !
I also had this crash issue caused by "Specialisation based loadouts" ! Here, take my Stalker patch, my PDA's number's on the back, means you can call me anytime and ask for anything I can do ! See you in the zone my savior !
Glad to help. No need for your number, just a bottle of vodka and some flesh chops...
Having the same exact issue, dead NPCs' PDAs will make you crash.
This happens when an NPC tries to loot a corpse, or when the player tries to loot a corpse.
Same, was related to PDA's on corpses. I deleted the whole mod and installed from scratch. The three main files then just this patch. None of the others. My last full install was ver 2.4 with a list of patches since. Clean install fixed it. It's running fine now.
Did the same thing but it happened again when I tried looting a zombie corpse ;-;

Hello,
I discovered the Anomaly yesterday evening while random browsing. Oh such a joy, new Stalker game. I was delighted. So, as instructed, i downloaded the three files of 1.5.0 version, unpacked everything, then i downloaded the update 4 and overwritten older files with it. I set-up the launcher, ran the game, set-up the settings, started new game on Story mode NORMAL difficulty, spawned in the rookie village, took a walk around and then CTD out of the blue. :-(
The game runs fine, no stutters or problems of any kind. I restarted and tried again - it happened again, in different situation. I'm getting these random crashes without warning, without doing anything in particular. It looks like whatever's causing them isn't related to my actions, but it's caused by something outside my view. It happened when i was walking, when i was in menus, when i was talking to Sidorovich. I don't know what to do.
Sometimes it doesn't crash for 30min, sometimes it happens a short while after i load the save. My config is i5-4460, 16GB RAM, GeForce 950GTX. Also, i'm completely overwhelmed by the extreme difficulty. I got instakilled by a cat (one hit) boar (two hits), and i saw almost EVERY single NPC in the Rookie village massacred by a pack of pseudodogs. WTF? Any help or tips in general are very welcome. Thanks!
Oh, i forgot to mention that i'm running the DX10 AVX version. No crash logs.
id reccomend playing on DX9, less crashes that way. Also the mod itself is pretty hard. Make sure to get your hands on a shotgun asap. Really important for killing mutants. Good hunting, stalker!
fantastic
Merry X-mas boys
Thank you very much.
Nice, map reworks, including the one to the Outskirts, but have the devs considered adding more campfires to Jupiter? The whole map has something like only 3 of them, making it a pain on campfire mode.
What I immediately noticed was the much shorter time it took for the settings to save and the game to unpause after changing settings. That alone deserves my praise! Great job!
After this update game looks really blurry and lags as hell. How to turn off that new "filter"? Hands and weapon of the character are blured.
I think that's Depth of Field you're mentioning, it's in Video>Advanced, bottom.
Yes, Depth of Field is screwed now. It looks awful.
yeap Dof is a crap of ****, need to be reworked
I don't know why but for me now game looks awful. I've reset all graphics settins, set it to my previous setting before patching and now depth of fields is really screwed while it was looking great before patch. And the game is too bright now, with really too "living" colors. Game looks sterile. I don't know why it lags now when back then it was working quite nice.
Is there possibility to restore visuals from the previous patch?
The only problem I have noticed is when I go from a game that's at night to one at the day time It loads it as if it was night time... Haven't had that in the past but It may have been a one off thing.
I created an account just to thank you for all of your hard work pulling this game mod together. With each new update, the experience becomes ever more polished and fun. THANK YOU DEVS!!!
