The Stalker series is great because of the story and mood, but the one big problem with them is that the X-Ray engine that they run on is quite possibly the worst 3D game engine ever created, or at least one of the worst.

If you can follow instructions, you won't go wrong.

I only overstress the 'be careful' part because of the registry editing, which can hose your computer. It's really very easy, you jsut have to follow it carefully and ignore the registry editing part. Be sure to back up everything and follow the instructions meticulously because (especially with the registry editing part) you can really mess things up very easily. You can find what I consider the 'best' version of it on moddb here:ĭon't bother with the extended instructions that involve editing your registry unless you really, really need it, just use the basic patcher and roll. There are also multiple names for it, some call it the '3GB patch', others call it the 'LAA patch', and many other things. I already had it stored separately so I didn't look. Is that '4GB memory patch' included in the Complete pack? Use only the basic Complete pack, not the additional weapons, unless you prefer to play FPS games in 'uber easy casual mode'. Don't forget to add the '4GB patch', because the game will easily go over the 2GB the base game can run within, with the added graphics fidelity. Complete was the first mod collection to provide a good play experience for all three games. It runs like ♥♥♥♥ and crashes a lot without some basic rewiring, especially on modern versions of Windows.

I'll answer more qustions anytime! sorry im a bit sleepy Now, you might want to check out those two mods for your first playthrough if your machine can handle it for they don't affect the game to much, just changes how it looks.īut, for a real 2nd play through, i without a doubt, would recommend Misery - this mod will push you to your limits, and i would recommend it for your second playthrough for it overhauls the game much like Autumn Aurora in SOC for the overhaul keeps the game stalker unlike other mods. These mods just make a 2009 game look better and not an eye sore ( at times ). Though, my first playthrough i lost my save game ( not because of the game tho ) and i decided to try out some mods for I lost my saves near the end of the game so i thought of it as my second playthrough, the mods i used were Atmosfear - and Absolute Nature - ( all links are the current updates for the mods ). out of the 3 games this one i belive has the least amount of bugs, so bugs shouldnt be a problem, i didnt notice anything game breaking. i would recommend the base game to start your first playthrough.
