Hey guys,

Is there any way to make 100% certain that the currently available crack for 1.5.05 does not prevent certain if not all of the changes from the patch itself to be properly applied?

I'm still waiting for the "proper" scene crack for 1.5.05 because I'm still not convinced that the Russian crack for it do provide all of the patch fixes. Some of you may remember that the first 1.5.04 crack out there was also a Russian crack which contained files from the 1.5.03 version, and the result of that was that most of the actual fixes and changes in 1.5.04 were not applied (like the missing Stamina bar for example which was supposed to be on the HUD but was missing due to conflicting file versions).

Is the current crack for 1.5.05 the definitive one and no others will ever be made? Is it indeed working correctly?


i have v1.5.05 with crack, and no crashes, everything is working fine...

Yes I know that it works, I think that you may have misunderstood my point.The current crack makes the game launch without a DVD-check, that's cool, and the version number at the bottom left shows 1.5.05, that's another cool thing.

The thing is with the previous patch, 1.5.04, we had a Russian crack to make it "work" before RELOADED made a scene release and a "proper" crack for 1.5.04 too. With the Russian version of the 1.5.04 crack the game launched, and at the bottom left of the screen the version number shown was also 1.5.04, but with that crack and despite the fact that it showed 1.5.04 on the screen the game wasn't taking into consideration most (if not all) of the 1.5.04's actual game fixes and changes.

The one best example for that, and I will repeat myself, was the Stamina Bar on the HUD (not the Inventory). The 1.5.04 patch introduced the Stamina Bar on the HUD, but when using the Russian 1.5.04 crack that Stamina Bar was missing, amongst other significant changes, simply because most of the files used by that Russian 1.5.04 crack were older files from an older 1.5.03 crack, and so it created conflicts within the dll's and the game's main executable that didn't point at the good changes in-game done by the 1.5.04 patch.

And when RELOADED made their own crack for 1.5.04, which by the way contained only three files, two dll's and one executable, then all of a sudden the Stamina Bar was on the HUD, so I knew right away that the changes from 1.5.04 were now properly applied. Now, the current Russian crack uses more files to start with, there's not only three files in there, and it uses an Anti-StarForce bypass method that the Russian version of the game needs because that version of the game uses the StarForce copy-protection method, while the non-Russian versions use TAGES.

So all of that to say that right now the current Russian crack for 1.5.05, so far from what I've read on other discussion boards does make the game launch but it's pretty much of a placebo effect when people THINK that they are playing WITH the actual 1.5.05's changes when in reality they still play 1.5.04 either partially or entirely, until proven otherwise.

That's right. EFIGS stands for English/French/Italian/German/Spanish or Multi5.

It is right until proven otherwise, simply because it was the case with 1.5.04's first Russian crack until RELOADED proved it otherwise with their own crack being entirely different from the Russian one. The current situation with 1.5.05 is just history repeating itself until RELOADED or another scene group makes a proper 1.5.05 crack.

And another important fact about the Russian crack files for 1.5.05 that most people seem to completely ignore or are not aware of is the fact that all of the files (four files in total) were last modified on September 18th, when we all know that the actual patch for ALL languages versions including the Russian one was released on September 25th, there is no way that any Russian "scene" group could go forward in time to a week, download the patch, come back in time a week earlier and make a supposedly "working" crack for 1.5.05.

The patch wasn't even released on September 18th, and that to me simply proves that they are files used from the older 1.5.04 crack and just modified enough to make 1.5.05 launch without the DVD-check method that worked in 1.5.03 and 1.5.04, but the price for that is that the actual changes from 1.5.05 are either partially missing or totally missing, in the case of the first Russian crack for 1.5.04 the changes were mostly all missing according to the modding community at the GSC forums.

And part of my little "investigation" also suggests that all of that would explain why some people around experienced incompatible game saves issues after using the 1.5.05 crack, reporting that after installing the crack their saved games don't work contrarily to what the actual patch's release log says, saying that it makes all saved games from 1.5.04 work with 1.5.05 not requiring to start a new game. Those players think that the 1.5.05 patch "doesn't work", but what they are experiencing is just the product of the Russian crack that still uses files from 1.5.04 which itself wasn't compatible with 1.5.03 saved games and required to start a new one.

Finished it yesterday and while most of the game is IMO slightly better than S.O.C., the last two levels are a complete joke.

Fucking atrocious level design, especially the last one. WTF were they thinking?

Im not a cientist but it seems the game is missing a soundfile: sleep_6.ogg, and since its from a human character + sleep + around midnight i would bet the game is missing a YAWN type file. Very Happy

Try this: I dont have the game, but go to d:\spel\s.t.a.l.k.e.r. - clear sky\gamedata\sounds\characters_voice\human_01\monolith\states\sleep and just find a sleep_4.ogg or sleep_5.ogg whatever, copy it your desktop a rename it sleep_6.ogg then put the file on your d:\spel\s.t.a.l.k.e.r. - clear sky\gamedata\sounds\characters_voice\human_01\monolith\states\sleep\ directory.

Tell me if it worked.

Bye.

Wrong. Smile

Ogg-comments or the lack of them means that the sound file is not properly "commented" but it is not missing, this will have a few drawbacks but won't cause the game to crash.

This however.

Code:

FATAL ERROR
 
[error]Expression    : fatal error
[error]Function      : CScriptEngine::lua_error
[error]File          : E:\priquel\sources\engine\xrServerEntities\script_engine.cpp
[error]Line          : 180
[error]Description   : <no expression>
[error]Arguments     : LUA error: ....r. - clear sky\gamedata\scripts\xr_logic_new.script:652: attempt to call field '?' (a nil value)


Means that the script engine encountered a bug (nil value issue it seems.) in the xr_logic_new.script file at line 652 (Not counting all // commented lines.) and the game crashed as a result of this.

There are unofficial patches on the forums so try those if they include a changed xr_logic_new.script file but don't mix 1.5.004 updated files with 1.5.005 updated files.
(Assuming you run 1.5.005 and you should as it fixes a ton of issues.)

Well i though the FATAL ERROR was derivated from the engine trying to call a file wich was a scripted event (night time around monolith faction -yawning) but not found.

anyway hope that in wich case the gamer can resolve his problem. Wink

No I didn't mean anything in particular with that "Wrong. Smile" statement, it's merely a correction and the game engine can be incredible difficult to work with at times or crash for the smallest reason. (Dropping a gun that a NPC can't reach normally for example.)

There's also many memory problems remaining but the game itself is pretty good despite all these quirks.
(Start on 1.5.006 already if you haven't GSC.)

(Some mistake was made and it was published.)

http://www.gsc-game.com/index.php?t=community&s=forums&s_game_type=xr2&thm_page=1&thm_id=19187&sec_id=19

There's a Russian 1.5.07 fixed patch available but due to it being weekend I wouldn't expect a proper English patch until Monday at the earliest.

I dont think so, if you translate this page you can see that the changelog is the same of the 1.5.06 worldwide patch.

1.5.006 was also released for the Russian community and that quote in the forum page I linked to (Posted by one of the moderators, Russian and also active on the Russian forums.) is directly from a GSC employee. (And they don't post much at all unless it's important.)

Anyway 1.5.006 was only up for a quick moment before it was taken down and later replaced with 1.5.007 so hopefully we'll have a 1.5.007 patch soon for the English version. Smile

(Hope that explains it, it's pretty confusing and there's no major bugs with the .06 patch that I've encountered but there's several reports about crashes and instability - though the game itself can be pretty unstable at times.)
