0.7.4 Patch Release and Developer Update news - X-Ray Multiplayer Extension mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

X-Ray Multiplayer Extension: PATCH 0.7.4

We released a launcher update which changes how game downloading works and an update for the game itself which includes some important stability fixes.

IMPORTANT! Server hosters must type these commands one-by-one in the server console:

sv_remove_actors_corpse 0
sv_remove_stalker_corpse 0
sv_remove_monster_corpse 0
sv_remove_weapon 0

And every hoster who experienced performance issues must type this as well:

sv_traffic_optimization_level 0

Save the changes by typing:

cfg_save

DEAR PLAYERS! Our servers can't handle the increased user activity. Because of this we are in desperate need of your financial help. We will be grateful for all donations on any of your desired platforms:

If you want to help the developers with seeding the game to other people, get this torrent file, open it in any torrent client and set the path to your launcher folder (for example, C:\Games\xrMPE Launcher). Thanks!

INFORMATION! For those who want to create and edit Defence mode maps, we made a guide. The best user-created maps have a chance to be featured in one of the next official updates (if you considered all the Defence mode main elemеnts when making it)!
