S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Series Megathread: The Zone will stop the Russians - Games

"I knew I should have taken a left turn at the space anomaly."

[QUOTE=JoeSibilant;44195186]"I knew I should have taken a left turn at the space anomaly."[/QUOTE] Yeah. Maybe I can run to the bunker real fast and use the teleport from Sakarov quickly. Gotta say though. Enjoying it thus far. But Pripyat is a total and utter clusterfuck of Mutants. Chimera, Bloodsuckers and giants out the Wazoo. Luckily those Tungsten Steel Buckshot rounds treat me well. :v: And I still haven't been able to track down ANY of the freedom members. The entire Freedom base is totally empty, and I've found 0 trace of them.

Doom's Mod Merge keeps crashing when i try to go into the Rostok wild territories outside the bar. [QUOTE]Expression : fatal error Function : WinMain File : E:\stalker\sources\trunk\xr_3da\x_ray.cpp Line : 738 Description : <no expression> Arguments : stack overflow [/QUOTE] help

How much RAM you got?

[QUOTE=Cone;44195220]Doom's Mod Merge keeps crashing when i try to go into the Rostok wild territories outside the bar. help[/QUOTE] Stack overflow's can be hard to narrow down. I suggest trying to pass a day or two and then try to go again and see what happens. [editline]10th March 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=JoeSibilant;44195234]How much RAM you got?[/QUOTE] Wait me or Cone?

Cone. I'm no wizard but crash-on-load can be caused by running out of memory. Another reason why noprefetch is your greatest friend.

[QUOTE=JoeSibilant;44195234]How much RAM you got?[/QUOTE] 8.00 GB

[QUOTE=Cone;44195279]8.00 GB[/QUOTE] Do you have -noprefetch in the launch options?

Guys, help, on the One Shot mission with SGM, i keep getting a stack trace error. It only happens when the representative guy runs away.

So kill him :v:

[QUOTE=JoeSibilant;44195310]Do you have -noprefetch in the launch options?[/QUOTE] no, i'll try that. [editline]10th March[/editline] didn't work

[QUOTE=JoeSibilant;44195332]So kill him :v:[/QUOTE] He never appears. That's the thing, i kill the merc leader, immediately it says that the rep guy got away and then i crash with a stack trace error.

[QUOTE=zombini;44195329]Guys, help, on the One Shot mission with SGM, i keep getting a stack trace error. It only happens when the representative guy runs away.[/QUOTE] Isn't that the dude in the Exo who leads you to the train tracks/checkpoint?

[QUOTE=zombini;44195343]He never appears. That's the thing, i kill the merc leader, immediately it says that the rep guy got away and then i crash with a stack trace error.[/QUOTE] Try waiting a while. I just did the One Shot mission the other day with the goal of killing both of them, and the mercs patrolled around for a good few minutes before the dudes in the scientist suits showed up.

There's no way to kill them both with that sniper rifle the soldier gives you, takes like 3 bullets to kill the Exo merc, by then the scientist is already in the hallway

[QUOTE=Cone;44195339]no, i'll try that. [editline]10th March[/editline] didn't work[/QUOTE] What mod? What are the rest of your specs? Window res? And most importantly, what other programs do you run when playing stalker?

Also I just tried The Faction War mod for Clear Sky. Literally the only mod that works without crashing that I've tried, and I'm happy because this is the one that I wanted to play most.

[QUOTE=ionuttzu;44195656]Also I just tried The Faction War mod for Clear Sky. Literally the only mod that works without crashing that I've tried, and I'm happy because this is the one that I wanted to play most.[/QUOTE] 2.7 or the 2.8 beta?

[QUOTE=Jamie1992GSC;44195665]2.7 or the 2.8 beta?[/QUOTE] The installer said 3.8 :v:

[QUOTE=ionuttzu;44195688]The installer said 3.8 :v:[/QUOTE] RIGHT it's 3 not 2...I'm an idiot. Odd 3.8 beta had a couple issues for me. Still fair enough. :v:

[QUOTE=Jamie1992GSC;44195699]RIGHT it's 3 not 2...I'm an idiot. Odd 3.8 beta had a couple issues for me. Still fair enough. :v:[/QUOTE] I did download a shitload of additional fixes as-well, so probably that

[QUOTE=ionuttzu;44195708]I did download a shitload of additional fixes as-well, so probably that[/QUOTE] Yeah I recall downloading like 1 patch/fix and that was about it. Although this was quite awhile back, so it could be that a load more have been released since then.

I managed to kill both the rep guy and the merc leader, i also figured out what was causing the crash, a group of tushkano would kill the rep dude when he was walking past this brick building. Unfortunately i had a smart terrain crash when i was going to loot the bodies. EDIT: Welp, tried again, actually saw the rep guy after a saveload, then when i shot him, stack trace.

I know this is a bit of a newbie question, but I never bothered to check it out, what is the SGM 2.2 mod for CoP? I always hear crazy things about it.

[QUOTE=LoNer1;44195596]What mod? What are the rest of your specs? Window res?

Was there ever a mod that let you kill Sidorovich? I know killing people like Barman crashed the game but I don't think I've ever played one where you could pop Sid immediately.

[QUOTE=JDER14;44195719]I know this is a bit of a newbie question, but I never bothered to check it out, what is the SGM 2.2 mod for CoP? I always hear crazy things about it.[/QUOTE] SGM 2.2 suffers from a lot of missing content since some of the people working on the mod bailed before release. 2.1 is better, and has more merge mod support (MSO, Atmosfear 3, etc.) [editline]10th March 2014[/editline] If you were asking about SGM in general, it stands for Sigerous Mod, which is a translated Russian mod that adds a TON of content (mostly new quests) to CoP, IMO it adds the most hours of gameplay of any CoP mod. It's basically the opposite of Redux, in that you WILL become incredibly overpowered by the end of the game. The mod acknowledges this by throwing insane challenges at you, like roving groups of bloodsuckers or elite "Alpha Squads" that will hunt you down. It's a great experience, and I heartily recommend it to anyone who feels like they've gotten everything they can out of vanilla CoP's quests and NPCs.

Time to get my machine translated Russian on. Also how OP are we talking?

Oh, it's been hand-translated, not to worry. As for OP-ness, on my current playthrough by the time I got to Pripyat nothing short of a full-auto burst from a SG550 could even make me bleed and I had a Protecta that kills pretty much anything with one shot. I was still getting killed though, SGM Pripyat is no joke.
