A crash has been detected by BugTrap Thread - STALKER Complete 2009 mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl

Could a moderator please add the advertisement " (picture) " to the end of the thread title please?

I used this mod on a previous computer and had a blast but was unable to play it to it's full potential due to performance limitations on my PC, so i decided purchase some performance enhancements (giggity) for it. Recently I have attempted to play this mod for the first time on my new machine while maximizing the graphical imagery during gameplay. During the loading sequence to a new game (I also had just installed STALKER: SoC on the new machine, so i had not played vanilla on it yet) I experienced a crash of the utmost disappointment. It looked like this:

Heres the Registers:

EAX=1328F130 EBX=6E2FBBC0 ECX=1328F138 EDX=1328F24C
ESI=007F22A8 EDI=001875C0 FLG=00000216
EBP=00187500 ESP=001864F8 EIP=007C7CB5
CS=0023 DS=002B SS=002B ES=002B FS=0053 GS=002B

Specifications:
AMD Phenom II X4 910
XFX Radeon HD 5770 1GB
8 gigs of RAM
Windows 7 64bit

Whatever shall I do about this? Someone must help me if I am to sustain my sanity.

Oh yes, and I am using the Steam version of the game.

Hi, I would need this info please: Sdk.stalker-game.com

I'm not sure how to access the "clipboard" I have Win 7 and searched for it and came up with nothing so am unable to get a Short Log unless there is some other way.

Is my spoiler working?

By the way I have actually played using vanilla on this machine in the past and was loading games not creating a new one. Disregard what I said earlier and thanks for helping.

Similar crash to his.
Mine crashes before the game even starts, and the log code does not appear. Steam version, vista 64. When I hit the save button on the xray engine, it crashes.
Exception Reason:
XR_3DA.exe caused BREAKPOINT in module "c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\stalker shadow of chernobyl\bin\xrCore.dll" at 0023:00C97CB5, xrDebug::backend()+165 byte(s)

My game also crashes in game start. Screen goes black and then sends me the bug report.
I´m using Win 7 64 bits, core i7, 6gig RAM, radeon 5870. I installed the game, patched it, ran it once and installed the Complete Mod. Having this error since then

Hello there,
I encounter a similar error:-

Exception Reason:-
XR_3DA.exe caused BREAKPOINT in module "e:\steam\steamapps\common\stalker shadow of chernobyl\bin\xrCore.dll" at 001B:00597CB5, xrDebug::backend()+165 byte(s)

I have also pasted the comments from my clipboard below:-
"Expression : fatal error

File : E:\stalker\sources\trunk\xr_3da\xrGame\script_engine.cpp
Line : 73
Description :
Arguments : LUA error: ...shadow of chernobyl\gamedata\scripts\xr_logic.script:1192: attempt to index field '?' (a nil value)"

This crash happened just after I left the starting camp and headed up the hill towards Wolfs men - there is a helicopter flying around too.

Hello again,
I notice no responses to my last post - I have done a little more testing with Stalker and played with a few settings.
This may not apply to everyone, but I have found turning off EAX in the Sound settings allows me to play the game without issue - all other graphical settings, etc can be left on - but as soon as I turn EAX on the game crashes.
Hope this helps.
