I'm not sure if you're also a regular at the GSC game forum and I hope that the moderators here won't ban me for posting this: Don Reba has started a "Build 1985 FAQ" thread at the GSC forum where a lot of things are explained, hopefully enough to make it playable:

Come on nandersen why would you get banned for that??
I'm surprised and shocked that you would think that

I'm having no luck at all with the build. It keeps freezing on me just after I appear in Sid's bunker.

I also really want to explore this build, but it seems not many on the GSC forums are interested in helping me out. On top of this, I can't get Clear Sky to work. I patched it up, put on a mod, and now it demands I install some TAGES drivers, and if I refuse, apparently I don't have administrator rights to run the programme. Which is a load of bull since as there is only ONE account on this computer, and everything comes with it - installing, uninstalling, etc. I suspect I shall just be done with Clear Sky before even playing it...always a problem with it, always.

But that aside, there's a moment where I hear some sound and appear in the bunker, but apart from that, nothing. It just...locks. I see my weapon and everything, it has been drawn. The crosshairs, the PDA icon. But it just locks, and I have to use the Task Manager to close the X-Ray engine...

Please, if anyone can help, it will be much appreciated. I have deleted the saved games in the saved games folder, that being what was necessary to solve one problem at least. But that's no use if something else is stopping me playing altogether...

I'm sorry Kaidonni I don't have nor do I intend buying/having CS, maybe someone else here could help you with your CS problem jamie, nanderson ,I'm looking at you here.


as to the xrCore build 1935, again, Ive downloaded it but I haven't played/installed it yet as I'm half way through testing a mod and I dont have the time to check the build out yet.
EggChen,nanderson,jamie?? 'ittle help here

busetibi, I'm rather good at pissing people off, you should know that by now
And no, I didn't really think that you would

I'm sorry Kaidonni I don't have nor do I intend buying/having CS, maybe someone else here could help you with your CS problem jamie, nanderson ,I'm looking at you here.

Unfortunately I have no idea how to solve these problems. My guess is that the engine has huge compatibility issues and should not be considered a playable game.
I think that this build is an extraordinary gift from GSC to the modding community and I believe that it's best to wait until some smart people figure out how to "upgrade" SoC with this content - at least we should expect a few mods that include some (or all) of the old level designs.

EggChen,nanderson,jamie?? 'ittle help here

Still downloading the build, plus I may have more trouble than most, a guy on GSC using Vista64 like me is having trouble getting it running.

I'm more interested in digging through the files anyway!

Edit: busetibi "testing a mod".... lucky git!

Too much rime spent on the GSC forums

Forgive my ignorance - I'm new to Mods in the land of STALKER.

If I were to load this, what would it do for me?

Thanx!

Since this is a beta build of the early "Shadow Of Chernobyl"
game which was changed greatly, the real benefit of this is for
modders to get the maps of areas that were not included with
the game we bought. Future mods will include these new areas
with mutants, NPC's and hopefully Alife activity to expand SOC
to a larger game.
If you want to see it you'll have to go to the website posted above to find the required steps to get it going.
Here is a video of parts of the new areas....

it does look good...this is yantar and it's a HUGE map!

[nandersen]

Since this is a beta build of the early "Shadow Of Chernobyl"

Not even a beta! A beta could be considered fully implemented but buggy.
This is a pre-alpha build that lacks a lot of functionality and is not playable by normal standards

[audioave10]

Oops, nandersen is right...it's only pre-alpha. Obviously, that's
why it was released to the community for free.

Most probably they also did this because they decided the old content was no longer of any use to them.
It would be cool if they'd choose to continue the STALKER series but I can't see any indications that they will.

[audioave10]

I keep hearing rumors that there will be a third Stalker. I also
hear rumors that it might also be made for consoles and if they
do that then it's FOR SURE dead.
