If you haven’t played 2007’s most immersive and atmospheric shooter, or you’re back for replay, this mod is for you. This is the world of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. like you’ve never seen before, with updated graphics and added functionality that don’t change the original story or gameplay. The game hasn’t been changed beyond recognition, but rather enhanced while preserving the core elements that made it the unique experience it is.

Hello,
I recently purchased Stalker SoC and without mods I had no problems playing it. Some hours before I installed "Stalker Complete 2009" and since then I have a problem with starting the game. Always when I start it (via Steam) I see that the left half of my screen gets black and Windows shows me "Stalker doesnt response". I have no idea how to fix it and I have already tried some things like running the game in several compatibility settings or administator but nothing helps.
Please help me :) I want to play this game

this is my error log:
[error]Expression : fatal error[error]Function : CStringTable::Load[error]File : E:\stalker\sources\trunk\xr_3da\xrGame\string_table.cpp[error]Line : 53[error]Description : [error]Arguments : string table xml file not found string_table_includes.xml, for language eng

What language are you running the game in? If it's other than english, you need to apply this fix: Moddb.com and if that doesn't work, delete the localization.ltx file and use the old one.

Also, a few weeks ago SoC received a small update that made most of the mods useless, and this might be one of them.
