Mod works fine for now, managed to buy a car before leaving Cordon. 30.000RU for this beauty. Sadly there is no marker on the map to show where the vehicle is parked like in vanilla LADC.

What I don't understand is the need for certain mods like PRM weapon pack be part of the mod itself.

Ay mlyyyaaaaaa...

From the Microsoft store page. Besides the grass shadows and the Burer, wonder what other changes were made

версия со старыми локациями

Is there a chance that sometime in the future you'll update Dead City with a newer version (preferably with the one from 2571). Not sure from which build the current one is from but it's clear that the player height was much smaller at that point, not to mention gaps in the level and other bugs, I remember that in my last playthrough that all the grenades I threw simply didn't explode and it happened only in Dead City.

Also, is this fixed?

Loving the patch so far, been playing for a few hours now and I only managed to find two issues. One is with Seriy and his quest to kill two packs of dogs (one pack north of the hangar and one to the south of it). Can't figure where the southern pack is (only northern one is marked). Been wondering to the south of the hangar near the railway for a while and I did find a pack of dogs but when I killed them the quest didn't update / finish. Would be great to have two quest markers for this quest.

The other small issue I found is with an upgrade info being a string only.

Update - Managed to fix Seriy's quest by first eliminating the southern pack and then the northern one

@Pastalker56 Nice list but some of those changes aren't very "vanilla friendly" for what this fan patch tries to keep though I do like the idea of camp fires being lit only when NPCs are nearby, along with some other things you mentioned 🙂

I remembered something, why does Mole (and now his entire group with the latest version) has to vanish from the game once you level change? He's not that important as a character and he has a unique pistol that vanishes with him. I'd rather have him and his group move to the Agroprom complex where Loners gather. Speaking of the Agroprom complex, I don't see why soldiers keep spawning there, I think 1/2 (sometimes 3) bloodsuckers and bandit attacks are enough for the Loners, the soldiers are overkill 😁

Another thing I noticed in the final section of the CNPP is that the low grounds of the level aren't irradiated like in vanilla and you can simply wonder about, even see parts of building with missing textures that you weren't supposed to see.

For me even a few NPCs were there but that could be because of the modified distance switch 🤔

EvilGeniusRo I climbed into the camp from the other side of the trailer, where there is something like a dumpster 😉

That too, you can also jump from the 1st floor of the Merc building to the crane and then straight into the Loner camp

This was the opening I was mentioning 😉

@Konstantin.PostalTo the right of the green trailer (as you see in the screenshot attached) is a small opening in which you can squeeze if low-crouching. That way you can get in the camp 😉

Just finished a full v14 playthrough and I loved it. Didn't have any major issues (most were only caused by me playing with a higher NPC distance switch). Definitely my "to-go" patch if I want to play vanilla SoC from now on and will recommend it to others 😀 .

That's pretty much it, can't wait to try out the future versions 👍

I noticed that after lab x-18, a pack of blind dogs spawn in Fox's building. Strange thing is that the when viewed from a distance they stay in place but the walking animation plays instead of the sitting one. If you go near them and they aggro you, they can't leave the building and attack  you, like they're entire gulag is that one building.

I was always wondering, would it be possible to have the online / offline switch distance for NPCs increased, at least in certain areas? For example in Cordon, every time you see either bandits or loners attack each other, it would reset their position if you go too far from the area (going back to the rookie village is enough for the reset to happen).

@Stern-13Alright, I made it to work by using the "bin for Steam" and extracting the XDB content, changing the language in localization.ltx and removing the ui_repair.xml string from it 😀

Lots of missing strings on my end but at least it works and I'm hopeful that a translation will be worked on, maybe after the final version of the patch, eh 😉

EvilGeniusRo  tried installing it?

Yep but I get a BugTrap error with no log

I'm using the retail 1.0000 WW version patched to 1.0006, simply extracting (and replacing files) the bin, mods and fsgame.ltx into the main folder. 🙂

Will there be a release for the WW / English version of the game or would that be too much of a hassle for the dev to port it from the RU version?

Shame there's no radio in the car otherwise I'd have Vladivostok FM play nonstop.

Maybe these are broken files. Try to download the mod again.

Yep, I made the amateurish mistake to forget to install the Russian language pack for Win10, the first 2 errors were because it couldn't access something because it was gibberish text, the 3rd error showing after installing the language pack and trying to load the save. I reinstalled the mod and started a fresh playthrough and everything works great as before ?

Started replaying the mod once more, 0.8.8 and I had a few crashes that I don't recall I had last time I played.

Hope one day this mod gets translated.

Hope so too. Maybe the devs will try to make one after 1.0, whenever that will be ?

Until then, we'll have to stick with the fan translation made by the STALKER C-Consciousness group ?

@RayTwittyDid you know you can go early to Dead City from Yantar and wonder the level without the bandits and mercs attacking the player?

What's even funnier is that if you go to the merc base, open the cell on the second floor and go inside, one of the mercs will close it and will get me stuck in there forever ?

I was wondering since it's been bothering me through the entire playthrough, why is the night vision for both 1st gen and 2nd gen worse than it is in vanilla SoC?

There is no real benefit of using them but the funny thing is, if you bring out the binoculars or look through scopes, it's actually better ?

I've also noticed that even in pitch black, enemies can detect me (see me and hear me) sneaking from a greater distance so the new visibility mechanic ported from builds like 2571 from the looks of it isn't very useful... Not sure if this is also a vanilla issue with SoC or it's mod related. Got used to how sneaking works in SoC with the ZRP ?

EvilGeniusRo Then I'm sorry. It's just that you have an excellent command of the American language

Thanks, that's what happens when you watch cartoons, movies and play video games from an early age ?

Inform the developer of the modification about the existing problem

Old habit of mine. Did work as a QA tester at EA once and atm I'm a tester for an upcoming official patch for The Guild 2: Renaissance ?

@Messer. Stalkerbut I ain't American ?

Hehe, already did that before reporting but I thought it would be best to let the dev know of the issue for future patches / releases, same with the previous issues I had ?

Another constant crash is in Wild Territory. Happens right when a bloodsucker gets hold of me and then punches me away

Didn't get any crashes in other levels when the bloodsucker got me it's grasp. Sorry if I'm bothering with all my problems ?
