Let's put things in order, Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl always had the Russian patch released first followed by the international patches.
(1.0002 wasn't released at all but a while later it was combined with the 1.0003 patch.)

Clear Sky is also like this with the 1.5.004 patch first being released for the native/Russian edition and then the English/international version is released a few days later, pretty odd actually seeing as 1.5.004 included all updated text files for all languages including English (And the other editions.) but we probably won't have to wait that long this time as 1.5.004 was released on a Friday and 1.5.005 will probably be released later today and then again for the English version two-three days later. Smile

Hope that clarifies some things, oh and various file updates will most certainly invalidate a few mods unless you know how to merge them and thus make them compatible with the patch and some changes sound pretty "big" so expect a restart to be required.

Even if a restart isn't required I'd still recommend it (Mostly happens when the All.spawn file is updated as with 1.5.001 which is the US/UK standard version, 1.5.003 and 1.5.004 - it handles placement of various objects on the levels.) as some script files also won't be fully changed if you load a current game. (A-Life.ltx to name one example, altering the timescale from the default 10:1 to 5:1 would only take effect once you start a new game.)


EDIT: Russian version of the patch tomorrow? Smile

Update on 29.09.08

At the moment, Patch 1.5.05 is still in the testing stage, the estimated date of release a patch tomorrow - 30.09.2008 year.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

(Google translated but accurate enough.)

Apparently they postponed it further. Presumably it might come out somewhere mid-this-week.

I just hate when developers only announce the pushbacks at the day of the assumed release date.

I have no problems with postponing patches per se, at least they are testing it unlike they did with the innitial release.

anybody else got the problem that the sleeping bag ain't working at all?
patched the game to 1.5.04 and installed the realism modpack Epsilon posted about a page or two back - first time i tried it worked, since then all i get is CTD every single time i choose how long to sleep - pretty annoying seeing how slow time progresses and running around at night is just not a good idea. i found that out the hard way.


edit: so installed the standalone version of the sleeping bag and it works flawless
even tried to copy the standalone-version files over those inside the modpack - still not working. damn it...

BTW, is there a mini-image or an english clone around? I use the reloaded release and I really don't want to wait for cracks every time a new patch comes out (what might happen quite often as it seems).

It's reported on the Daemon Tools forums that the next version will work for Stalker: Clear Sky images. Smile
(Customer section, bugtracker.)

No release date though.

EDIT: Unpacked the patch, probably won't work just like that due to code changes in the /Bin/ folder files and it also includes a User.ltx file so back up the existing one to be safe that it won't be overwritten. (Probably the one from 1.5.003 as it fixed a few errors related to configurations resulting in odd visual glitches like for example a shadow box around the player.)

English version?

I just patched it, waiting for a crack. File says EFIGS so it must be the international version.

(Also finished going trough all updated files between 1.5.004 and 1.5.005 - should reduce crashes and improve the game in various ways from what I can see.)

Anything on the respawn times? I really hate defending camps, walking 20 meters and having a group of bandits/mutants spawning and attacking the same camp in an endless loop.

I haven't gone trough all files extensively due to how many of them there are (1.5.004 includes 1166 files and 1.5.005 includes 1188 files however if you disregard the "Levels" and "Shader" folder then there's only 164 files that differ between both patches or are new in 1.5.005.) but there have been some larger changes to certain parts of the game.

Most of it appears to be various smaller fixes and tweaks however but it certainly alters the game.
(For example you no longer get a H&K G36 after doing a particular quest, you get a FN2000 instead and instead of getting a FN2000 on another quest you get a high-end armor and it seems that bandits spawn a bit less often.)

Patches usually never work with cracked files. Unless they don't have a built in version check and they simply overwrite the files instead of updating them.

Is this patch mainly bug/crash oriented or does it add some 6-7% extra on performance as well?

Wouldnt count on a crack anytime soon. Mercenaries 2 was patched over a week ago and still no patch. Seems like most of the "scene" is on holiday for the moment.

DX10 users can now toggle R3_MSAA and various quality levels (2x to 8x) from the main menu instead of having it enabled by default (Normal AA options will look a bit different under DX10.) so that could give a performance boost, other than that it's mainly bug fixes and crash fixes plus smaller tweaks for a improved gameplay experience and better balance.

Saved games

1.5.04 saved games will be compatible with patch 1.5.05.


Game changes

- Fixed an error which prevented the guide from leading the player to the Cordon. This was caused by the fact that the autosave function failed to save all data, and once such a saved game was loaded, the game became impossible to complete. If this error occurred, it was necessary to restart the game from the beginning.
- Fixed a bug with secondary objectives (Deliver item), which caused the arrow to point to the wrong NPC after a save/load.
- Changed the reward for lowering the bridge in the Red Forest.
- Changed the reward for killing bandits at the Freedom base filling station.
- Fixed the Freedom technician’s dialogue. After accepting a secondary objective, it became impossible to undertake/complete objectives to find flash drives.
- Fixed an error, which caused the situation to be displayed incorrectly in the PDA Faction War section.
- Fixed an error, which caused the number of grenades for the grenade launcher attachment to be saved incorrectly following modifications.
- Fixed an error, which caused FPS to fall when the cursor was moved over headings on the PDA map.
- Fixed an error, which sometimes caused the game to crash to desktop when the game was saved during an NPC death animation sequence.
- Fixed an error, which caused carried weight to be calculated incorrectly when a suit was upgraded or artifacts attached.
- Fixed an error, which sometimes caused faction strength to be displayed incorrectly in the PDA statistics.
- Fixed an error, which caused the game to crash following the loading of a saved game due to incorrect saving of monster animations and armed NPC grenades.
- Fixed an error, which sometimes caused ammo to be displayed incorrectly after searching bodies.
- Fixed an error, which sometimes caused individual NPCs to be enemies, while the rest of their faction was neutral or friendly.
- Fixed several minor HUD, inventory, PDA and main menu errors.
- Minor rebalancing of trade and items that pop out of dead bodies.
- Fixed a problem, which allowed the player to leave the Zone in the water part of the game (first visit to the Swamps).
- Changed the process for rewards given for joining factions.
- Changed rewards for destroying faction bases.
- Fixed game crashes during conversations with enemy technicians.
- Added ability to upgrade GP 37 with the help of Freedom and Bandit technicians.

1.5.05. is not cracked yet.

Is there any solution for this error message?

"The application period of validity without a disc in the drive has been exceeded. Insert the licensed disc of the application in a disc drive and run it again.
If the error recurs, press "Error report" and send the report to product technical support."

I patched and cracked the game properly to 1.5.04. a week ago, and played the game.

Now i got this error message, and cant play the game. Reinstall did not work.
Other 1.5.04. cracks dont work.

It is out and it is working. Believe it or not. It is very fresh release but you can find it. Yesterday someone release bad crack (it enters game and then when you try to load or start new game CTD). Today version works like a charm. I have reloaded version and I always keep my original exe for patching.

Never use third party mods. No one can help you with these problems except the makers of the mod.

Third party mods always mess up the games. And Clear Sky is already buggy enough.

I cannot find it. Not with Google, nor with torrent pages. It is not posted in gamecopyworld.

Is it fixes the ""The application period of validity without a disc in the drive has been exceeded" error message?
