S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Lost Alpha

Installing...
With the options on automatic, except for the Russian voices which I have disabled.

@_Neptunno_ I get the same error but the game works.

[_Neptunno_]

Well, what I found out is that the translation into Spanish was causing problems and I managed to start the game and all that. I mean, so come on at least to try it even if it's in English to see if it works. But when I try to exit the game it gets stuck and I have to close the Windows session.

Something strange is happening, I don't rule out that it's something from this PC, but until I make sure it works well I'm not going to get into the adventure, you can't imagine how annoying it is to have the game break when you've been playing for a few hours jajaja

I'll investigate and let you know... it's strange, maybe it's a matter of uninstalling it completely and reinstalling it, I don't know. I'll keep trying.

Greetings!!

And when you exit the game, does it close properly? I mean, using the exit button.

It happened to me the first time, after adjusting the graphic quality and trying to close it while going to windows, and without having started a game.
the second time I played until the first checkpoint, I saved the game manually, I exited first to the main screen and then to windows, and everything went well.

@defaultuser I downloaded another configurator that was posted on the Steam forum and replaced the one that comes with the installation.
With this one, the error message doesn't appear and it even offers the option to update it and several other things. I loaded the game I had generated and it worked fine, and when I quit it seems to close correctly.

I hope this will maintain some stability, I still have to test the translation issue, I'll comment if I find the problem of why it interferes with the game.

If you used the standard procedure (which I mentioned above), the game's own configurator/launcher would notify you that it had a more modern version to download (although I did not apply it).

That occasionally, when exiting the game, the game's execution window gets stuck (does not respond) and the Configurator/Launcher's window with the "fan" spinning waiting to update the Saves, is something "frequent" that is solved simply by killing the task of the stuck window and the Configurator/Launcher comes out normally.

You could also be given the case that when starting for the first time after logging in, the same thing happens to you with the game's execution window and you need to End it and try Start or Load Game again in the Configurator/Launcher of the game, but in no case are the Saved Games lost or corrupted.

The times that while playing it has taken me to the Desktop are anecdotal, and always related to parts of the game with many concurrent events at once, usually when there is some "catastrophic" event that affects the main plot line. I don't think there were more than one or two times, in all the many times I have played Lost Alpha with or without LAR.

Salu2! Stalkers!

PD: I wouldn't try to put it in Spanish

@fassou thanks for your wise advice

Well, in the end I used the translation that is published on moddb (v1.4.007792) and for now it seems to be working, perhaps the problem is using a translation that doesn't match the game version, but from what I've read it generally works quite well and you can finish the game without any problem.

However, if I detect anything or have any information about it, I will comment on it.

Here we go, little by little. For now it works for me, without touching anything, I just removed something for the Russian voices, just in case.
can we play multiplayer games on this?

Well, I'm not sure about the multiplayer, but what I do know is that I'm enjoying this game and it's making me enjoy S.T.A.L.K.E.R. again. Back in February, I started with Clear Sky, and after 15 years of not being in the zone, I found myself a bit disoriented on the map and barely recognized anything.
Now that I've spent a few hours on Lost Alpha, I'm starting to "get my bearings" a bit, and to top it off, I just picked up Shadow of Chernobyl in a Steam sale (I have it in physical format, like the other two) and I started playing it too... and wow, it's like traveling back in time xD

Anyway, I just wanted to share this with you all, as it gets harder to get into a story mode game and get hooked like when we were 20, so that's why I love the feeling this experience is giving me.

Greetings Gamers!!

By the way, I was recommended Chernobylite I don't know if anyone has played it or has information about it, although I imagine it won't have a "direct" relation to the Stalker saga... but obviously yes with "The Zone"

We'll see if we can create a thread about it, if anyone has experience with the game.

Regards!!
