Pinned.

I found one, the main menu freezes often, its easily fixed tough just press ctr+alt+dlt and it will again. (for me.) It happens when you dont do anything on the menu for quite som time.

Got a crash when typing in a name for a save. It would not let me correct the name. (I typed a save name, figured I needed to rename it, so with the backspace button I tried to delete some letters and it crashed.)

Well that's a first.
What does the crash log say?

This is what the end of the file says:
FATAL ERROR [error]Expression : !m_error_code[error]Function : raii_guard::~raii_guard[error]File : D:\prog_repository\sources\trunk\xrServerEntities\script_storage.cpp[error]Line : 748[error]Description : ...ll of pripyat\gamedata\scripts\ui_save_dialog.script:153: attempt to index local 'item' (a nil value)

Just the part after "FATAL ERROR" will do

Seems like Beard and Owl no longer sell head lamps. Intentional?

They do on my install. It looks awesome so far. Intro movie was chilling. Great stuff...

A little bug:
Went to Noah, for him to show me the jump into the anamoly. A cut scene comes up where Noah jumps into the anomaly, spawns back at the edge, jumps again, repeat repeat. After three jumps I got out of the cut scene and could play on, but looking back on the foot of the hill, Noah is still jumping and respawning into the anomoly.

just so you know the head lamps it's random if the shops have them. sometimes they'll have them right as you make the game if your lucky and other times you gotta wait a day or so to find one in the shop.

Got another crash: Was doing the holdup mission for Beard at the ranger station (the one after the mission on the Shevchenko). After killing all the bad guys, while luting the bodies it crashed:

FATAL ERROR [error]Expression : !phrase_dialog->m_PhraseVector.empty()[error]Function : CPhraseDialog::SayPhrase[error]File : D:\prog_repository\sources\trunk\xrGame\PhraseDialog.cpp[error]Line : 146[error]Description : No available phrase to say, dialog[hello_dialog] stack trace:0023:69737365 msxml6.dll

Hope this helps...

Nope. That is old symptom of savegame corruption. Your saved game (2-3 saveved game before last one) become corrupted.
When you expirience corrupted save game overall main menu UI get screwed.

The mistery is why you didn't get PDA message of corrupted savegame. I guess Yaasti overlooked some place when it could happen.

Anyway, I didn't get that kind of main UI bug since I started to use Yasti's quick hard save. Strongly recommand to install it from his thread.

I guess I didn't complain enough to include this in finall release

@Bando007 , try to reload the game before you expirienced first savegame crash. Install that quick hard save tweak and avoid using quick savegame. Your game is probably get corrupted and you can suffer a lot of crashes unless you roll back before first corrupted savegame occured.

It is best to do it while you are still early in playtrough than you find out many hours later that you can't continue game.

Thats an old error from 2.0 that was corrected but somehow made it's way back into the current build
-open gamedata\scripts\dialogs.script

-find this

function npc_is_not_surrendered(a,b)
	local npc = who_is_npc(a, b)
	local st = db.storage[npc:id()]
	local po = st and st.victim_surrender and level.object_by_id(st.victim_surrender)
	if not (po) then
		return false
	end
	return po:id() ~= db.actor:id()
end

and change it to return false to return true

I can't replicate this...can you upload the previous save and explain where you were up to when you attempted to save again

Tide is still not marked as a Sniper Rifle. I thought this was easy enough to fix, it has been reported millions of times.

It is not intended to be labeled as you say

Crash during the bloodsucker lair mission. When the two bloodsuckers that spawn after placing the tank if they hit me I crash.

what armour are you wearing?

-go down to line 428 and change:

to
"if suitfirstrun == false and cond > helmet_cond and current_helmet==helmet_name and not ai_tweaks.wearing_ghillie() then"

That was my fault. I didn't take into account that some crazy stalkers would try running around wearing nothing but a helmet

Here is something relatively minor but possibly (still) systemic and in need of fixing:

[SPOILERS for a few stashes below]

Stash clearances - in Misery 2.0.2, there were half a dozen to a dozen stashes out there that don't properly "clear" on being looted.
In the 2.1 Beta, I tried looting one such stash and it still doesn't clear properly (i.e., drumbeat and text notification with compass image and time).

This is perhaps only a genuine issue late in the game when you've looted as many stashes as you can and you're out maiming folks to see if there's any holdouts you missed. Still, though, as many here have said, the hard-to-find hidden loot is one of the most enjoyable parts of the game.

The particular stash still not clearing as it should (in 2.1 Beta) is on a ledge almost smack up against the location of the basic tools at the ranger station in Zaton.

Anyway, last time I played late into the game (2.0.2, of course) I recall some half-dead fools confessing locations of "new" stashes that'd been empty for most of gameplay. I remember, in 2.0.2, a few of these emptied stashes being:
--beneath a tree growing above the burer tunnel in Jupiter
--very close to the basic tools and situated on a ledge jutting out over the pavement from the ranger station in Zaton.
--also another either on the ground or in a tree in the meadows west of the water plant in Zaton.
--other stash(es?) within the same radiated structure as Strelok's southernmost stash, within the Jupiter plant campus.

Apart from this trifle I'm blown away so far, great work!

I noticed cigarettes weigh nothing, is that intentional. The little pill packets which in real life also weigh next to nothing like cigarettes have a weight of .01 Kg.

I read the description on the multi-stove and it said it used kerosene but all I saw after a couple of reloads was charcoal and gasoline. Is that just one of those random items.

I LOVE the inclusion of multi use repair kits now and especially that you can buy partial ones if you are short on cash. It makes it seem like their is more buying and trading going on with other STALKERs offloading their loot instead of you and you aren't always finding everything in shiny new condition all the time.

Where is my GAU-8 Avenger I requested.

Shame on you for turning me into a smoker and a crack addict.

This mod is great and I can't wait to see MISERY 3.0 and MISERY 4.0 and hopefully MISERY 5.0. You guys cannot stop till I say so which will be a very very long time.

somehow my download gets corrupted each time, any chance to get the update file uploaded to somewhere else?

Definately. Please sit tight and the 2.1 upgrade will be available on ModDB also.
Right now it is just the full version of MISERY 2.1 that is available here.

Yay, thanks a bunch. Any ETA on the patchnotes? (i know it must be a pain to write them down, take your time)

We are working as fast as possible in our spare time but we have come to learn that giving out ETA's is almost like setting a promised release date.
So I'd like to not give out such ETA's anymore.
The main reason being an attempt to avoid a scenario of mistrust to our team and delivery devotion.

Yeah, dont worry too much about it, not in a particular hurry.

During the "Deal by the Ranger Station," the boss bugs out on the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. side and will not reward the player for looting the trader and completing the task. The dialogue options are normal and don't involve any discussion about the deal.
