Today we will analyze the most common problems associated with the game, which has become the largest brainchild of the Ukrainian studio GSC Game World, namely S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat. This first-person shooter was introduced back in 2009, but is still popular today. Oddly enough, many players have various questions about the stability of the game, as it can often crash or freeze.

Before proceeding with the ways to fix bugs, check if your computer meets the minimum technical parameters:

Processor - Intel Pentium 4 2.0 GHz / AMD XP 2200+
RAM - 512+ MB
Video Card – 128 MB VRAM and Direct3D 8.0 support

Updating the XRay game engine

If the game crashes due to any XRay Engine errors, then an update to the game engine version is required. At the moment, the most current patch under version 1.6.2, which you can download from the link https://www.playground.ru/files/patch_s_t_a_l_k_e_r_zov_pripyati_v1_6_01_1_6_02-27504/ . It is also worth noting that this update fixes crashes after a long game in single player mode. 90% of crashes and freezes are fixed by this patch. Forward!

Remove mods and add-ons

It often happens that after installing one or more mods, Stalker starts to slow down, or even crash during the game. When there are several mods, then most likely everything is due to their conflict. Solution: delete mods one by one and check if the crashes have disappeared. Even if you have only one mod, you will have to delete it, as it could have some damaged files or even a lack of them, which is why you started to crash and freeze.

Stalker: Call of Pripyat crashes when moving between locations

All you need to fix this annoying bug is to install Sigerous Mod 1.7. As its developers assure, it fixes ALL bugs and after installation you will forever forget what it is like when Stalker freezes or crashes. How to install it:

Download from the link https://depositfiles.com/files/yz4rn9sov
Open the game folder
In the root of this folder we find and delete gamedata
Run the installer
We are waiting for the installation to complete and restart the computer

It helped a lot, as the reviews on the forums and fansites say. After installation, you can unsubscribe in the comments if it helped or not.

Installing the MISERY 2.0 add-on

The MISERY 2.0 mod for Stalker: Call of Pripyat brought a lot of interesting innovations, including more than 200 barrels, of which 80 are brand new. It would seem, why do I need all this, because I just want to play! The bottom line is that the developers of this add-on fixed a lot of bugs and errors, due to which there could be problems with the game. What we do:

Download Misery 2.0 from the link https://yadi.sk/d/Nq7fIhF07US28
Open the archive and unpack it
Run the file MISERY2.0 setup.exe
Waiting for the installation to finish

After the installation is complete, you will need to run the game through the Stalker-COP.exe file, and be sure to run it as an administrator.

That's all, we've covered the main critical errors that cause STALKER: Call of Pripyat to crash. For all other questions, you can contact in the comments.

Video with instruction

Original taken from slokeron in Call of Misery. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. dead, long live S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

As a Friday cancer, I want to tell you a little about what the progress in Stalker modding has come to and how the community did it without waiting for the second part. Today we will talk about perhaps the most global, interesting and atmospheric modification of Stalkach Call of Misery.

What it is? In fact, this is a gluing of two global mods: Call of Chernobyl(best mod of 2015 according to Moddb) and Misery(the best mod of 2013 according to Moddb). The first is a skeleton of locations and quests, the second is the skin of the gameplay and graphics. But how does it all work and why do I have to give up on the bomb mop and go back to playing the fucked up Call of Pripyat?

Locations. Call of Misery (hereinafter simply CoM) consists of over 30 locations from the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R trilogy. plus two new ones. All locations are inhabited by factions and mutants according to logic and lore. On Agroprma you can find Sidorovich barking at crazy prices, bandits settled on the ATP, Debt covers the bar, Army Warehouses in the power of Freedom, Pripyat under the Monolith, the Syndicate guards the entrance to Limansk, on Yantar there is an eternal shootout of scientists and zombies, and Clear Sky lurks in the wilderness of swamps . Members of the factions do not hesitate to enter neighboring ones, but they do not go far from the bases. Often there is a shootout for the same pig farm, and either the bandits or the stalkers have it. The checkpoint in army warehouses goes from mercenaries to a monolith and vice versa, depending on who is now more. Or maybe even a chimera will come running and devour all the fuck. The zone lives, the zone moves.

Groupings. Have you ever dreamed of wandering around the Zone for the Syndicate, completing orders? Or maybe your passion is test tubes and white coats? Or yelling "Mom is not the law. I am the law" while sitting on the bucket at the bandits has always been your goal? Well, now it's all possible. All 9 factions of the trilogy are available in CoM, each with its own unique base, equipment and quests. The player has the right to choose a name, avatar and start place, and then how the Zone will bring it down. Also, each faction has both friends and enemies. As a debtor, don't expect a warm welcome at the Warehouses. Bandits will be killed by almost everything, except for mercenaries and freedom. Fanatics are cleaning everyone who is the enemy of the Monolith.

Quests. Each faction has its own special set of quests. This is not an RPG, so don't expect tons of text with multiple choice answers. Everything is in the logic of the original Stalker - kill-bring. But each faction plays it in its own way. The Svobodovites or the duty to kill a traitor, the bandits are asked to fill up nonsense, the mercenaries simply have an order. More peaceful factions offer to wear mutant parts or household items. Sometimes there are quests for reconnaissance, interception, escort, hostage rescue, search for weapons, security or delivery of important documents. Quests are given by both ordinary merchants and squad leaders. If you are tired of the tasks of the grouping, nothing prevents you from going to ask about the work of the allied factions.
In addition to the regular back from the bosses of the group, there is also a story quest. Every game it is new and re-generated. There cannot be two identical passages. It is here that the most interesting tasks for research and search meet. To whom this is not enough, they can talk with a strange man in a raincoat in the Swamps and the third line of story quests will become available.

Freeplay. So you have chosen a grouping, location and got a starting outfit. What's next? Yes, whatever you want. The zone is at your complete disposal. You can immediately rush to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, for a Klondike of artifacts, and grab it from the first bandit, because a beginner's jacket, AKS and 1000 rubles in your pocket are not good equipment. You can earn by hunting mutants, you can earn by collecting artifacts, you can focus on completing quests, or you can do everything at once. You choose the goals of the game yourself. Become a legend, turn off the burner, buy an ex and pump it to the top, destroy all factions, go through the story, etc.

Atmosphere. Since it's 2016, no one needs games without graphics. The authors took care of this and added a lot of graphic, weather, texture and sound mods. Everything looks amazing. What to say, see for yourself.

hardcore. The original purpose of the Misery mod, beyond gameplay and graphics, was to make the game more difficult without losing interest. And the authors succeeded. First-aid kits heal slowly and are expensive, most of the weapons are in poor condition, the eternal lack of ammo and hunger, and the goods in the store are crazy money. You literally have to survive in the Zone. All this has also been carried over to CoM. But let's take a closer look at the difficulty of the game.

NPCs and AI. Both you and the NPCs are extremely vulnerable to lead. GG lacks a couple of small-caliber bullets, as well as humanoid enemies. If in the case of who kills whom first on your part, handiness decides, then for the enemies it is the rank and faction. If novice stalkers don’t hit with a rifle from 50 meters, then the Monoliths or warriors already at 200 meters begin to actively crush you with fire, flavoring it all with grenades and constant movement. Skirmishes have become more interesting and dynamic.

Monsters. Now they are more dangerous than ever. Half of them one-shot you, and the other half is not going to be less than three and also quickly reduces the health bar to zero. All creatures move silently, forcing the player to constantly monitor the situation at 360 degrees. But if the stalker is well equipped and knows the tactics of killing the monster, its weaknesses and strengths, then even a chimera can be killed with a knife. If you do not have the necessary protection, then run. Maybe you'll be lucky.

Hunting. Or not. After all, you just went into battle against dogs for the sake of getting food. Yes, now you can kill monsters not only for profit, but also for food. CoM implemented a system for cooking food from monster meat. If you have a portable stove or slow cooker with you and fuel for them, then the problems of hunger will no longer be the worst. Know only put coal. However, nothing is given for free. Meat cooked even in the best oven is fonite, and fuel takes up precious space in the inventory. So you have to choose - health or money.
Also, in addition to meat and parts of mutants, a skin can also fall out from living creatures, which you can either sell or hang on your loved one, receiving bonuses to protection.
In addition, a special hunter's kit will help to simplify hunting, which increases the chances of dropping parts. You will have to pay for it by weight - 6 kg is very difficult.

Bonfires. So you hunted nicely, gathered up a bunch of tender meat, shot the bandits and generally did a good job on this game day. Need rest. Where is the best rest than by the fire. The undead will not let you lie. Moreover, bonfires are now the only way to save. Yes, yes, Dark Souls got here. For ignition, only matches are needed, of which there are always a lot. But don't be afraid. Fired saves are only an option and can be disabled in the game settings menu. Sometimes hardcore can be too much.

daytime radiation. In addition to the living creatures running around the Zone, nature itself will be against you. I think many have played the Metro 2033 series and know that going to the surface without a gas mask is fatal there. A similar system is implemented here. For free movement around the locations, you need clothes in good condition and a gas mask. If any of your equipment is damaged in a fight against monsters or a shootout, then you will begin to be exposed to radiation. Various medicine, shelters with a roof (a house, a barn) or the time of day - from 21.00 to 6.00 there is no fonit on the street can help you with this. Yes, unrealistic, but interesting.

Emissions and Psi. It all migrated from the original Call of Pripyat. We hear a siren, we hide in a shelter. If the ejection, then those who did not hide will be zombified if the Psi die. The difficulty is added by the fact that now there are not 3, but more than 30 locations, and it is not always possible to quickly find shelter. Only very rare anti-blowout pills or two legs on adrenaline to the shed a kilometer will save.

Repair system. So you're in a shed, with a gas mask full of holes, a wedged barrel and no penny in your pocket. What to do? Repairs himself. A huge number of repair kits for all occasions and conditions have been added to the game. Perhaps even too much. The lines are divided into:
- wear percentage (10%, 15%, 20%, etc.)
- for what (armor, pistols, shotguns, rifles)
- how many times can be used (1, 2, 3 or 4)
Now mix it all up. One-shot for a pistol at 85% condition, two-shot for a rifle at 75%, universal for all weapons, but for a lot of money. Difficult at first, but once you get the hang of it, you won't need much of it. A couple of oilers for my caliber, a couple of sewing kits and not run the state of the equipment. Since everything is being repaired by a very small percentage, loot is called upon to improve the situation.
And by the way, repair kits do not need to be pumped out and they are available immediately. Nobody has ever done this before.

Loot. More than 150 pieces of stuff have been added to the game. Among them there is both good-for-nothing garbage, and items from which you can make a lot of money. Almost all things can be used in repairs (see picture below). Some may give character boosts (see next point). This is all in addition to the standard food, medicine, ammo, and weapons that drop from NPCs. Also, each item has a very detailed description. Sometimes even too detailed.
We repair a knife that wears out when butchering animals. His condition is 87%. The sharpening set gives 11%, the basis. Yarn gives another 5%, additional material. Total 100% enough even with a margin

Not all added loot

Examples of descriptions of usable things and not so much.

Application modules. If you remember, in the original Stalker, all that could be worn on a belt was art. Now the number of items has increased and changed. Firstly, the arts now emit light, and to carry them on the belt and get boosts to the characteristics, an expensive container is required. Secondly, containers consume energy (see the next paragraph). In addition to art, you can now hang Kevlar plates on your belt that will increase protection, steel mesh to increase the carry weight, a "camel hump" for stamina, or a current limiter for resisting electrical anomalies. The list of items is far from complete. On the quick keys (F1, F2, F3, F4), in addition to first-aid kits, bandages and stimpacks, you can hang, for example, a dosimeter to determine the level of exposure or a quick-dump backpack system if you need to urgently run, and you have an overload. In general, everything that can be used through RMB is bound.
Pay attention to the lower left corner. Above the health and stamina bars are the icons of the installed Kevlar plate, steel plate and titanium mesh. The first two give armor, the last + 5kg of weight.

Charging system. All electronics are now eating energy and the more it is wound, the faster the batteries run out. The PDA eats almost nothing, the headlamp is already bigger, the night vision device will burn out the military unit for an hour during the game, and the top anomaly detector will last 30 minutes. Eternal is only a hand lamp, but it takes the place of a detector and you can’t arm yourself with anything other than a pistol. All this is replenished with the help of a universal charger and batteries for it.

Well, now about the most delicious. Immersion. It is achieved with the help of various hoods, sounds and animations. But again, everything is in order.

HUD. Each helmet has its own "pattern" around the edges of the screen and 12 wear conditions, from drips of condensation to holes in the mask and scratches. All this is seasoned with the sound of breathing by which you can determine how GG lives - cheerful and cheerful, dragging 100 kg of rubbish or about to die. In a future update, they will add raindrops on the glass. Everything can be turned off if desired.

Animations. Whatever GG does, it's all animated and voiced. Unfortunately, you will not see the hands, but here the sound is made in double size. The rustle of dry rations and the subsequent crunch, the sound of a spoon on the bottom of canned food, the sound of electrical tape when repairing a suit, the sound of sewing, the sound of a spray can when lubricating, the sound of a first aid kit, the sound of putting on or taking off a gas mask / armor, the sound of putting art into a container or batteries to charge. That is, so that you do not click on use, the GG clearly uses it for its intended purpose. In addition, almost everything takes time (5-10 seconds) and in the heat of battle, repairing the suit will not work.

Armor, ammo and silencers. Now everything is divided into classes.
The description of the armor has expanded. In addition to standard resistance bands, there was a division into the protection of certain parts of the body and the class of this protection. From "absent" to "6", where the latter is not broken by anything other than Gauss.
The cartridges were prescribed the level of damage for certain materials. Standard is average in everything, our main ammunition. Armor-piercing are good all of a sudden against body armor, but expansive for mutants. There are unique ones that, for example, give a double bonus to unprotected targets, but are completely useless against armor. It's basically a fraction.
Silencers were divided by the level of emitted noise. For a large caliber, the noise is suppressed weakly, for a medium caliber it is better, but the owners of exhaust pipes like Val or Vintorez are generally quieter than a knife. But there is also a negative effect - the silencer cuts speed and, as a result, damage.
A small screenshot example

Knives. Knives were divided into classes. Not every monster can be butchered by the weakest, while even the thick skin of a chimera is unimportant to the top ones. Knives tend to deteriorate from cutting carcasses and combat use. New ones are inexpensive, but sharpening kits are even cheaper.

Weapon. And this is the cornerstone of fashion. On the one hand, the authors made a cool system - now the weapon has several levels of condition in addition to standard wear:
- old - the barrel will start to wedge earlier, has worn textures
- normal - standard
- custom - has several pre-installed modifications, such as an enlarged magazine or + 10% reliability
- modified - a silencer, a collimator, optics, a sight were integrated onto the barrel, painted in camo or all of this at once.
But on the other hand, most of these are standard weapons of the Call of Pripyat, and these are hello left-hand Kalash and NATO barrels with ejectors on the left. Plus the textures are not of the best quality. All this hurts the eye a little if you are a gun nerd. If not, then there is no problem for you either. Craftsmen have already adapted their weapon packs (I just use them in my face).

Hostages. If you wounded an enemy, then he can surrender and he can be interrogated. the prisoner will give either the location of the cache, or the PDA at your request. Or maybe send a fuck, depends on the reputation. Don't try to interrogate fanatics. Why? Well, try it.

Reputation. The more you complete quests for your faction, the more loyal the members of your faction become to you. Merchants have a wider assortment, members of the group can be taken as partners, and hostages will quickly hand over their swag. You can lower your turnip by failing quests or by killing friendly NPCs.

Caches. In addition to standard backpacks and all sorts of pipes, crates have been added to the list of loot. And it’s really useful for fashion to break them. First-aid kits, cartridges, grenades - this is what you will never find there. Underpants, broken shells and shovels. I'm kidding of course. Random is so random and anything can fall out there. Broniks generally lie on the bare floor.

Perks. The more we perform certain actions, the more famous and pumped we become. More partners can go with us in the squad, hostages turn in more caches, more loot falls from animals.

And finally. Modification will appeal to those who have an imagination and he likes to out in all sorts of sandboxes. The gameplay is meditative and quickly addictive.

Cthulhuchki-Cthulhu, and where can I download all this?

http://ap-pro.ru/forum/119-88137-1
We are looking for an item with a repack. Download, install, play. CoM does not require Call of Pripyat. In fact, this is a mod on a bare engine. At the moment, the version of the mod is 0.99s. The author promises release 1.0 not today or tomorrow.

In additions, you can find useful features that make the gameplay easier or more difficult. There are also weapon packs. Put everything at your own risk. Pure CoM doesn't crash at all. Without quicksaves, so in general.

FAQ Call of Misery

A guest May 27th, 2018 1,174 Never

For NPCs - 0.5, for mutants - 1.

NPCs to be escorted stand still.

Load an early save and use only the point command to move to.

The NPC who needs to turn in the quest doesn't want to talk.

Loading the last save and quickly pressing the keys "Use" ("F" by default) and "Task completed" ("1") in quick succession. Try to go to another location and return; wait until the NPC becomes the leader of the squad in a natural (or artificial, by secretly killing the leader) way.

The task to destroy the lair of mutants is not completed, although it is cleared.

Most likely, one of the mutants escaped from the point, he will be marked on the map as "Unknown Enemy". Usually rats and jerboas do this. It is possible that mutants do not appear at night, that is, it is necessary to go to the point during the day.

An NPC from a neutral/friendly faction is hostile. When you try to kill him, the whole group becomes hostile.

There are several options: 1) use improvised explosive devices or mines, or exploding gas barrels/cylinders; 2) take the hostile character to the mutants or groups hostile to him, if any are present at the location.

The character instantly dies after loading the save.

It is not recommended to save before ejection or during ejection. As an option - temporarily enable immortality. To do this, you need to start the game in debug mode (add -dbg to the game shortcut), then write g_god 1 in the game itself in the console. To turn off immortality - g_god 0. This often happens due to changes in the weather / events settings when you are in game mode. Also, as an option, you can delete user and tmp in the appdata folder and load the save that preceded the ejection or psi-storm.

The hostage ended up in the area between the locations.

Throw a smoke grenade at it or enter the demo_record 1 console command in debug mode, fly up to it and press the "Enter" key.

How to cancel a task?

Wait for the quest to complete on its own (in the case of assassination quests, the target can sometimes die of natural causes) or kill the employer. It is best to always save before taking on such quests to avoid such inconvenience.

Important NPCs do not give new tasks.

New tasks appear in a few days.

The Hidden Object Quest is not running.

NPCs only take items with the full number of uses. In the case of weapon quests, read carefully, the NPC asks for exactly the weapon that is written about (the "worn out" and "modernized" states are considered different weapons). Nimble and St. John's Wort require weapons in excellent condition.

Where to find tools?

In caches (random location in each new game). If the cache is marked with a green label, then the chances are significantly higher. Also, one complete set of tools is hidden in three locations. The forester in the Red Forest makes improvements without tools, but at a high cost.

Does the game have the Clear Sky science suit and exoskeleton, as well as the Ecologists exoskeleton?

Too many/not enough creatures in the game.

Change the spawn rates in the game settings, restart the game and visit the location again.

How to change the name of the character during the game?

The command in the console is run_string alife():actor():set_character_name("Name").

NPCs died at the checkpoint/base. Will others take their place?

Yes, but it will take a few in-game days.

Why is the effect of the controller / psi-field / radiation exposure not visible when the night vision device is on?

The game mechanics does not allow multiple effects to be displayed at the same time.

In dynamic messages, they periodically write that "A stalker named nil was seen there."

Bug, when moving to another location in most cases disappears.

When trying to improve armor and weapons, the inscription appears: "Technician needs additional information."

Bring tools to the technician on assignment.

Is there an artifact "Heart of the Oasis" in the game?

What costumes can be upgraded to five artifact slots?

Only body armor ChN-2.

Is the fight in the Arena against the Beast the last one?

Why are there few stalkers in the northern locations?

It is necessary to turn off the psi-installations in the laboratories X-10 and X-16.

Are there guides in the game?

Where to buy/find "Product No. 62" (aka Gauss rifle) and cartridges for it?

Can't be bought. You can find it at the Monoliths. Shooting batteries are very rare in caches.

How to get the Svarog detector?

This detector is sold exclusively by Herman in the scientists' bunker and only with a friendly reputation with the Ecologists group.

How to get to the Forester if spatial anomalies do not work?

Straight through the forest. You can secure the route if you go along the road to the bridge. Behind the checkpoint near the bridge there is another gate to the territory of the former reserve.

Blurred in the eyes, health is taken away, but there is no bleeding / radiation exposure.

If the need for sleep is enabled in the game settings, then let the character sleep.

How to interrogate the wounded?

With some probability, the wounded man will kneel and put his hands behind his head, then you can talk to him. Wounded fanatics explode in the glory of their idol, just to avoid being captured.

Too much time and ammo goes into jerboas.

Just like rats, they can be kicked by pressing the "Use" key ("F" by default).

Will items disappear if left in a random drawer?

No, not even if the NPCs give a tip on this stash.

Where did the personal cache go?

How to turn on "Mystery Zone"?

When starting a new game, enable "Story Mode".

How to get to the Military Lab?

“Story mode” must be turned on, all plot documents have been collected, a decoder from an apartment in Pripyat has been found. The code for the main door of the laboratory is 26041986.

Why are several knives and a hunting set implemented?

The stronger the mutant, the better the knife needed to cut it. The hunting set gives a higher chance of dropping mutant parts.

Can you cook meat on a fire?

You can't, but there are other options.

Where to look for the Swamp Doctor?

At the Clear Sky base, at the tower to the northwest of the base or in the cave under the destroyed bridge in the northwest of the Swamps, sometimes he just walks around the surroundings of the Swamps.

Can't find artifacts.

They appear after the release, other stalkers also collect them.

How does the psi-helmet work?

Clone phantoms that appear from living mutants disappear with the helmet. Also, the helmet saves from psi-impact in the laboratory. Works while in inventory.

The character runs out of breath very quickly, even when walking.

You can use titanium mesh - expensive, but effective. In the future, having accumulated wealth, you can use Epiniphrine. As a last resort, you can tweak the walk_weight_power parameter in the gamedata\configs\creatures\actor.ltx file. Change 0.0044 to 0.0039–0.0041, these coefficients allow you to move smoothly in steps without overload (edit with Notepad ++).

How is the universal charger used?

Its status shows the current amount of energy that is spent on some items:

1. PDA. Extremely low power consumption.

2. Headlamp. Small power consumption.

3. Detectors. Power consumption depends on the type of detector - from low to high.

4. Application modules of artifacts. Extremely low power consumption.

5. Night vision device. Average power consumption.

If the charge runs out, it will not be possible to use the above devices.

Why is it impossible to invite stalkers to join the squad?

You need to have a “Friend” relationship with them. Perform secondary tasks, help the wounded, increase reputation.

Who can sell junk and weapons in poor condition?

Rubbish - Skryaga, Sidorovich, Maslina, Ashot and stalkers. Broken weapons cannot be sold.

Where did the cache disappear if it is not in the place where the mark in the PDA is?

So the cache is hidden underground.

Is there a way to open closed doors?

Bug - go to the door at close range and throw weapons into its hinges until it opens.

Why are there no costumes like Seva and an exoskeleton on sale?

Each group has missions. Completing these quests will earn you 50 Faction Attitude Points each. When "Attitude" exceeds 400, "Seva" and "Group Heavy Suit" will be available for sale at the main merchant of the group. If the ratio is greater than 800, an exoskeleton appears. For each failed mission, 25 "Relationship Points" are deducted from the employer faction.

Where is Swift? Is it possible to order weapons from him?

At Kordon's farm. You can not order, but you can immediately buy some unique samples.

Health itself does not regenerate! First aid kits are extremely expensive!

Doctors and scientists have significantly lower prices for medicines. In addition, doctors themselves, for a reasonable price, can completely cure or remove radiation. If you are lucky to find the Swamp Doctor, he will improve his health for free.

What is the reason for the appearance of only broken weapons in caches and with stalkers without the slightest chance of weapons in perfect condition?

The chance of a weapon spawning in perfect condition is impossible for two reasons:

1. If you set the chance of appearance closest to the minimum - the cycle of weapons is such that even with such a chance a lot of weapons in excellent condition will fall out.

2. If you set the minimum chance of appearance - a weapon in good condition will never fall out.

It is impossible to find a golden mean.

What is the reason for such a spawn of mutants?

There are two options:

1. Spawn of mutants near the player immediately after loading the save.

2. Spawn of mutants dangerously close to the player.

For gameplay and the hard save option, the second option is chosen, it doesn't feel as painful as the first one.

How to enable spawner?

In the properties of the game shortcut, add -dbg to the path. Example: "D:\Games\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Misery\Call of Misery.exe" -skip_reg -dbg, press the "S" key in the game menu.

How to set up head bob?

Edit the lines in the user.ltx file using Notepad++:

cam_slide_inert 0.25

Where is the save folder located?

appdata\savedgames

How to take screenshots and where are they stored?

On the "F12" key, stored in appdata\screenshots

Why does the headlamp shine so narrowly?

You can change the setting yourself. To do this, open gamedata\configs\models\objects\light_night.ltx with Notepad++ and replace spot_angle = 35 with 75.

Is there a modification for using 4 GB of RAM and using multiple processor cores?

The engine is patched for memory usage and can work in multiple cores and threads.

5. Restore your system to an earlier state where the 0xc000007b error did not occur.

Crash when loading save "Arguments: Not enough storage is available to process this" (imgur.com/4KbtZMN).

Use the keyboard shortcut Win + R and write "regedit", the registry editor will open. Let's go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management

Create "PagedPoolSize" or "PoolUsageMaximum" if none.

Set the maximum pool size to 4 GB: "PagedPoolSize"=dword:ffffffff

Trim memory when pool is 40% full: "PoolUsageMaximum"=dword:00000028

(instruction: imgur.com/a/EgE46).

In the video settings, set the quality of the shadows, the density of the grass, half the visibility range to a minimum.

Switch to static game lighting.

Disable all extraneous processes.

Enlarge swap file.

Defragment the partition(s, if the game is not installed on the C:\ drive).

After the file name in the properties of the game shortcut, put a space and write -noprefetch

Influence of graphics settings on FPS:

Visibility range. Medium performance impact.

Detailing of objects. Virtually no performance impact. The difference can be noticeable on older graphics cards.

Texture filtering. Virtually no performance impact.

Antialiasing (selection 2x–4x–8x). Strong impact on performance.

Smoothing (slider-stripe). Doesn't affect performance.

Grass density (r2_detail_density). Exponential impact on performance.

Grass distance (r2_detail_radius). Medium performance impact.

Grass height. Performance impact is below average. Low and medium values will have almost no effect on performance, while high values will have a noticeable effect.

Shadow from the sun. Strong impact on performance.

Grass shadow. Performance impact is below average.

Player shadow. There is no performance impact.

RAW Paste Data

Recommended FOV. 67.5, 40. Recommended spawn rates. For NPCs - 0.5, for mutants - 1. NPCs who need to be escorted stand still. Load an early save and use only the point command to move to. The NPC who needs to turn in the quest doesn't want to talk. Loading the last save and quickly pressing the keys "Use" ("F" by default) and "Task completed" ("1") in quick succession. Try to go to another location and return; wait until the NPC becomes the leader of the squad in a natural (or artificial, by secretly killing the leader) way. The task to destroy the lair of mutants is not completed, although it is cleared. Most likely, one of the mutants escaped from the point, he will be marked on the map as "Unknown Enemy". Usually rats and jerboas do this. It is possible that mutants do not appear at night, that is, it is necessary to go to the point during the day. An NPC from a neutral/friendly faction is hostile. When you try to kill him, the whole group becomes hostile. There are several options: 1) use improvised explosive devices or mines, or exploding gas barrels/cylinders; 2) take the hostile character to the mutants or groups hostile to him, if any are present at the location. The character instantly dies after loading the save. It is not recommended to save before ejection or during ejection. As an option - temporarily enable immortality. To do this, you need to start the game in debug mode (add -dbg to the game shortcut), then write g_god 1 in the game itself in the console. To turn off immortality - g_god 0. This often happens due to changes in the weather / events settings when you are in game mode. Also, as an option, you can delete user and tmp in the appdata folder and load the save that preceded the ejection or psi-storm. The hostage ended up in the area between the locations. Throw a smoke grenade at it or enter the demo_record 1 console command in debug mode, fly up to it and press the "Enter" key. How to cancel a task? Wait for the quest to complete on its own (in the case of assassination quests, the target can sometimes die of natural causes) or kill the employer. It is best to always save before taking on such quests to avoid such inconvenience. Important NPCs do not give new tasks. New tasks appear in a few days. The Hidden Object Quest is not running. NPCs only take items with the full number of uses. In the case of weapon quests, read carefully, the NPC asks for exactly the weapon that is written about (the "worn out" and "modernized" states are considered different weapons). Nimble and St. John's Wort require weapons in excellent condition. Where to find tools? In caches (random location in each new game). If the cache is marked with a green label, then the chances are significantly higher. Also, one complete set of tools is hidden in three locations. The forester in the Red Forest makes improvements without tools, but at a high cost. Does the game have the Clear Sky science suit and exoskeleton, as well as the Ecologists exoskeleton? No. Too many/not enough creatures in the game. Change the spawn rates in the game settings, restart the game and visit the location again. How to change the name of the character during the game? The command in the console is run_string alife():actor():set_character_name("Name"). NPCs died at the checkpoint/base. Will others take their place? Yes, but it will take a few in-game days. Why is the effect of the controller / psi-field / radiation exposure not visible when the night vision device is on? The game mechanics does not allow multiple effects to be displayed at the same time. In dynamic messages, they periodically write that "A stalker named nil was seen there." Bug, when moving to another location in most cases disappears. When trying to improve armor and weapons, the inscription appears: "Technician needs additional information." Bring tools to the technician on assignment. Is there an artifact "Heart of the Oasis" in the game? No. What costumes can be upgraded to five artifact slots? Only body armor ChN-2. Is the fight in the Arena against the Beast the last one? Yes. Why are there few stalkers in the northern locations? It is necessary to turn off the psi-installations in the laboratories X-10 and X-16. Are there guides in the game? No. Where to buy/find "Product No. 62" (aka Gauss rifle) and cartridges for it? Can't be bought. You can find it at the Monoliths. Shooting batteries are very rare in caches. How to get the Svarog detector? This detector is sold exclusively by Herman in the scientists' bunker and only with a friendly reputation with the Ecologists group. How to get to the Forester if spatial anomalies do not work? Straight through the forest. You can secure the route if you go along the road to the bridge. Behind the checkpoint near the bridge there is another gate to the territory of the former reserve. Blurred in the eyes, health is taken away, but there is no bleeding / radiation exposure. If the need for sleep is enabled in the game settings, then let the character sleep. How to interrogate the wounded? With some probability, the wounded man will kneel and put his hands behind his head, then you can talk to him. Wounded fanatics explode in the glory of their idol, just to avoid being captured. Too much time and ammo goes into jerboas. Just like rats, they can be kicked by pressing the "Use" key ("F" by default). Will items disappear if left in a random drawer? No, not even if the NPCs give a tip on this stash. Where did the personal cache go? Failed, it is not recommended to make personal caches on the roofs. How to turn on "Mystery Zone"? When starting a new game, enable "Story Mode". How to get to the Military Lab? “Story mode” must be turned on, all plot documents have been collected, a decoder from an apartment in Pripyat has been found. The code for the main door of the laboratory is 26041986. Why are several knives and a hunting set implemented? The stronger the mutant, the better the knife needed to cut it. The hunting set gives a higher chance of dropping mutant parts. Can you cook meat on a fire? You can't, but there are other options. Where to look for the Swamp Doctor? At the Clear Sky base, at the tower to the northwest of the base or in the cave under the destroyed bridge in the northwest of the Swamps, sometimes he just walks around the surroundings of the Swamps. Can't find artifacts. They appear after the release, other stalkers also collect them. How does the psi-helmet work? Clone phantoms that appear from living mutants disappear with the helmet. Also, the helmet saves from psi-impact in the laboratory. Works while in inventory. The character runs out of breath very quickly, even when walking. You can use titanium mesh - expensive, but effective. In the future, having accumulated wealth, you can use Epiniphrine. As a last resort, you can tweak the walk_weight_power parameter in the gamedata\configs\creatures\actor.ltx file. Change 0.0044 to 0.0039-0.0041, these coefficients allow you to move smoothly in steps without overload (edit with Notepad ++). How is the universal charger used? Its status shows the current supply of energy, which is spent on some items: 1. PDA. Extremely low power consumption. 2. Headlamp. Small power consumption. 3. Detectors. Power consumption depends on the type of detector - from low to high. 4. Application modules of artifacts. Extremely low power consumption. 5. Night vision device. Average power consumption. If the charge runs out, it will not be possible to use the above devices. Why is it impossible to invite stalkers to join the squad? You need to have a “Friend” relationship with them. Perform secondary tasks, help the wounded, increase reputation. Who can sell junk and weapons in poor condition? Rubbish - Skryaga, Sidorovich, Maslina, Ashot and stalkers. Broken weapons cannot be sold. Where did the cache disappear if it is not in the place where the mark in the PDA is? So the cache is hidden underground. Is there a way to open closed doors? Bug - go to the door at close range and throw weapons into its hinges until it opens. Why are there no costumes like Seva and an exoskeleton on sale? Each group has missions. Completing these quests will earn you 50 Faction Attitude Points each. When the “Attitude” exceeds 400, “Seva” and “Group Heavy Suit” will be available for sale at the main merchant of the group. If the ratio is greater than 800, an exoskeleton appears. For each failed mission, 25 "Relationship Points" are deducted from the employer faction. Where is Swift? Is it possible to order weapons from him? At Kordon's farm. You can not order, but you can immediately buy some unique samples. Health itself does not regenerate! First aid kits are extremely expensive! Doctors and scientists have significantly lower prices for medicines. In addition, doctors themselves, for a reasonable price, can completely cure or remove radiation. If you are lucky enough to find the Swamp Doctor, he will improve his health for free. What is the reason for the appearance of only broken weapons in caches and with stalkers without the slightest chance of weapons in perfect condition? The chance of a weapon spawning in perfect condition is impossible for two reasons: 1. If you set the chance of spawning closest to the minimum, the circulation of weapons is such that even with such a chance, a lot of weapons in excellent condition will drop out. 2. If you set the minimum chance of occurrence, a weapon in good condition will never fall out. It is impossible to find a golden mean. What is the reason for such a spawn of mutants? There are two options: 1. Spawn mutants near the player immediately after loading the save. 2. Spawn of mutants dangerously close to the player. For gameplay and the hard save option, the second option is chosen, it doesn't feel as painful as the first one. How to enable spawner? In the properties of the game shortcut, add -dbg to the path. Example: "D:\Games\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Call of Misery\Call of Misery.exe" -skip_reg -dbg, press the "S" key in the game menu. How to set up head bob? Edit the lines in the user.ltx file using Notepad++: cam_inert 0 cam_slide_inert 0.25 Where is the save folder located? appdata\savedgames How do I take screenshots and where are they stored? The "F12" key is stored in appdata\screenshots Why does the headlamp shine so narrowly? You can change the setting yourself. To do this, open gamedata\configs\models\objects\light_night.ltx with Notepad++ and replace the value spot_angle = 35 with 75. Is the modification stitched to use 4 GB of RAM and use multiple processor cores? The engine is patched for memory usage and can work in multiple cores and threads. “The program cannot start because MSVCR120.dll is missing from the computer.

We've all heard about the successful hardcore mod for Call of Pripyat, Misery, which takes the hard-hitting danger zone feel to the extreme. We also know about the excellent freeplay modification "Call of Chernobyl", which combined all the locations into one and absorbed the best of the three parts of the original "Stalker". The Call of Misery mod is a symbiosis or fusion of two successful Call of Pripyat mods: Misery and Call of Chernobyl. We get that very dying zone in gray-brown tones, dangerous and unpredictable, where mutants are strong, and our hero is weak and defenseless, where radiation kills in seconds, and loot costs a penny ... But we have an incredible freedom to explore the world of the zone - dozens of locations , hundreds of hiding places, many quests and thousands of opportunities to survive in this hostile environment.

Features of the "Call of Misery" mod:

Stylish "Misery" style graphics - the fading zone is great.
Great selection of weapons and outfits.
A lot of items and things that enrich the economy of the game.
New artifacts and containers to store them.
We can cook our own food from mutant parts.
Many devices require batteries or accumulators.
Special equipment to help survive in the zone.
Expanded system of repair and upgrades.
Special effects of injuries and the use of medications.
Hardcore survival mode, typical for "Misery".
Dozens of locations, huge freedom for research.
Several unique game modes.
Many minor gameplay tweaks.

If you love fierce survival in a hellish environment, then this mod is for you! For beginners, this mod may seem overly difficult to complete.

Download the repack of the Call of Misery mod from the Yandex disk link, mod version: v1.0 with a built-in second final fix.

A copy of the repack of the Call of Misery modification on Cloud-Mail.ru.

The original game "Stalker - Call of Pripyat" is not required to install the mod. This is a repack - download the archive, unpack, run the installer, install and play!

A detailed review of the mod on the video:

Original taken from slokeron in Call of Misery. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. dead, long live S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Well, now about the most delicious. Immersion. It is achieved with the help of various hoods, sounds and animations. But again, everything is in order.

Hostages. If you wounded an enemy, then he can surrender and he can be interrogated. The prisoner will give either the location of the cache, or the PDA at your request. Or maybe send a fuck, depends on the reputation. Don't try to interrogate fanatics. Why? Well, try it.

Perks. The more we perform certain actions, the more famous and pumped we become. More partners can go with us in the squad, hostages turn in more caches, more loot falls from animals.

And finally. Modification will appeal to those who have an imagination and he likes to out in all sorts of sandboxes. The gameplay is meditative and quickly addictive.
