Experimental Updates Thread - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Experimental Update

This is now integrated into the latest Update 10 Preview, so do not use this download anymore. This thread is still the best place to give feedback on stability of the changes.

I've moved this into its own thread, so that I can get feedback just for these updates here and not mixed up with other information in another thread.

Description

This is a set of experimental executables. The goal is to improve stability and reduce crashes. This update can have one of 3 effects, either it improves stability, or it makes it worse, or it doesn't change a thing. Please let me know how it works for you, if you decide to test it.

Version

The current version is supposed to be used on top of Update 10 Preview. I'll update this post when this experimental update is outdated.

Install

To install it, unpack the file into the Anomaly directory. To make it easy to undo this, first make a backup of the directories bin-x64 and bin-x64-noavx. You can copy those directories back later, especially if the experimental update does not work for you.

Downloads

I had literally the same crash, same line, same everything posted in my thread after using this experimental update.

Are these crashes reproducible or random?

I have no idea what causes it whatsoever, I had them completely randomly. I've recently been able to play for an hour then got my save corrupted and cannot load literally any save (I have 8 of them). I am reinstalling this mod from scratch, everything.

I've posted a comment on the Update 10 download page.

It still crashing with those .exe, loads the save, still in game for about 5 seconds and then crash, the difference is now the log doesnt shows anything.

Try this executable: Drive.google.com

It fixed my crashes.

I would like to update you that using the pre-update 10 executables fixed my save corruption. I'm now able to load saves and have been playing for a few hours without a single crash, hiccup or anything.
