NOOOOOOOOO ALL MY ADDONS
Yeah....
Had to go back to the "old" game. Oh well.
**** it, imma risk it.
Good luck.
It crashed instantly for me.
I got lucky boii
Good stuff!
Seems a few shaders were changed and deleting the shaders_cache solved my boot issue.
Perhaps the devs should make a note of this in the patch description to save any further headaches :)
what is your file size for your stalker anomaly folder bc i tried to install 1.5 b3 and it wont boot and i followed the instructions very precisely and it just crashes on startup idk if missplaced some files but everything is at its place like in the .rar folder db goes to db and everything else. Am i doing something wrong? I need help.

I am happiness

This update probably won't be compatible with the addons you installed for anomaly. So you might need to start a new game. May i suggest Duty...
Solarint, will you be updating your mods other than sound ones on gdrive for compatibility soon?
А я только прикрутил LRA на полную прокачку оружия и брони... Ну хоть положение прицелов некоторым стволам поправили
You'd think the devs were going to slow down after 3.0.
Nice
Awesome! Very happy with all the fixes, but I still need to ask what will be done in terms of optimization? Maps from CoP take my framerate down from 50-80 to 5-15, its excruciating as all I want is to complete the questline with Strelok.
Yeah, that would be nice through I lowered the settings a little (still looks great) and its running consistently in the 40-50 fps range. Honestly would be happy with just base Call Of Chernobyl graphics but then again when my favorite game of all time is Deus Ex... I really don't care for the graphics in the first place.
Well, now I need to make the next version of Trader Overhaul compatible with this... That shouldn't be too hard at all! Thanks for the updates as always!
"Reduced cats forward and acceleration speed, and they no longer spam the player with combo attacks"
May thy names be blessed!
I just take the whole day yesterday to do some tweaking to my liking and now they update with alot of tweaking of those files i tweak. Well, it is good to have a new update, another day of tweaking i guess
(buried)
I rather you add all these fixes to a new version of the game. i dont wanna install this when im half way to finding strelok.
Spent half an hour making my installed addons compatible, game still crashed on startup. Turns out it needed one clean boot with no addons first, and then I could turn on all of them back and it works fine :)
Just an FYI if someone is having the same problem.
How do you make addons compatible?
Extract the patch .db files, and compare them to addon files using Notepad++ comparison tool. Then make changes where necessary.
Thanks!
I screwed something up and ended up reinstalling/starting over.
I never really paid attention to which addons I downloaded/installed. Another lesson learned.
At least most of the manual changes to actor, weapons, outfits and items still work.
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
thank you for the update
also Idk if it's appropriate to call it "Russian translation" since Russian is the original game language xd
Thanks for the new update, that's A LOT of fixes. Hugely appreciated! Can't wait to dive in.
:-D
How could i lived without item filtering?
Been trying out various levels, and the vegetation draw radius seems to be working correctly now - big difference in overall visuals. Thanks! :)
PS: The green reeds in Darkscape are lacking the stems, so it looks like leaves floating in the air. Also, there's a tree standing in mid air in the Meadows map, close to the Cordon exit (eastward, 2 o'clock at map), near crossroads leading up the factory north. FYI. :)
Thanks for the great support and quick fixes, keep up the good work!

tried to make a fresh install, crashes on game launch
EDIT: Im a big doofus, I forgot one DB part :P
I crash after updating .....both after loading an old savegame or starting up entirely new...
i validated all the files via the installer and checked "restore user.ltx"....the error report reads:
Expression: xml.doc NavigateToNode(path, index)
Funkction: CUIXmIInit::Init3TButton
File: ui\UIXmIInit.cpp
Line: 360
Description: XML Node not found
Argument 0: putall_button
Argument 1: ui\actor_menu_16.xml
I can start the game, the loading screen approaches but when i am almost finished, the game crashes.
Could it refer to some reshade??
Hopefully someone can help you here.
The discord site seems to get faster/better responses.
Fixed it with a plain reinstallation with a different path; installing on the same path caused the issue as well. Weird.
I wish the devs would make the nosorog exo carry backpacks & allow the container spaces to be upgraded to all 5 it doesn't make any sense wasting 1 space?
Acquired from corpse second copy «drugs recipe № 4», got crash while reading. Already had a note in my PDA.
Inventory filters, 11/10
Bug report:
Foot steps from various enemies and creatues seem to be missing, hopefully you can add this to the game - it makes a big difference.
Vegetation draw distances seem to be mostly fixed now (thanks!), but in Army Warehouses there are still a few vegetation types that seem to not draw correctly (small radius).
Yeah, the developers did a great job with fixing vegetation draw distance, and what is even more surprising and awesome, all the maps which had the draw distance fixed are now giving me much much better fps! I don't know what kind of fixes they did, but it's amazing that i can run the game with respectable fps on my old gtx 970, on 1440p, with almost every graphic setting maxed out - really great job!
Like you noticed, there are still a couple of maps that need fixing (army warehouses, dark valley, wild territory, and maybe something else up north), but I am sure it will be fixed in the next update.
It's crazy that a stalker mod in 2019 receives major updates every 2-3 weeks - a big thank you to the developers of the best mod out there!
How do I access the hud adjust mode? I wanted to do some personal adjustments to SPAS 12 viewmodel. Possibly others if I find the need for it in the future.
Thanks!
