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

[Fassou]

And they are still working on it

Another MOD that looks good is the Call of Chernobyl but who has time

Salu2! Stalkers!

[Fassou]

The Developer's Cut version starts to use geological time scales

Salu2! Stalkers!

[Fassou]

And they are still at it :man_facepalming:

Salu2! Stalkers!

[Fassou]

Well, players, they finally released it yesterday, none other than the final version 1.4005 of the Lost Alpha DC, which you can download comfortably from here (4 files of 1.5GB each), which, as you know, comes with everything and includes a very complete installer so that no one gets confused.

If you have the previous version, you can save it anywhere and you won't need it to play this kind of "remasterization" of the mod, of which you can see its changelog in this link.

See you in The Zone. Salu2! Stalkers!

[Fassou]

But again playing STALKER Lost Alpha?

It's that I was testing the latest version S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Lost Alpha v1.4007 DC

There are some bugs from time to time because of the AI Life that causes extreme situations depending on how much we go for it, but otherwise, it is getting more polished.

And now, to continue playing in Free Mode

Salu2! Stalkers!

@Fassou I think it's a good time for me to continue with this saga (since 2007 I played stalker: shadow of chernobyl)…and I've been waiting for years to see if I can get into CS!! I'm already embarrassed to go from year to year and not dare!!

This year I propose to finish Metro The last light, Far Cry 3 and some Stalker… will I be able to fulfill it? XD
The problem is that for some years I've been more lazy to get into a game and dedicate many hours to it(ignoring some multiplayer games that were my downfall).

Well, doubts… this Stalker Lost Alpha ¿is it really how SoC should have been? I mean, is it like playing the first one that finishes me in 2007 but with all its potential?
I like the idea

And, language issue… is it only in English?

The saved games. Do they work between versions?

Greetings, buddy!!

Edit: Is it necessary to install the original game?.. I suppose so, but it's my doubt.

[Fassou]

Hello very much Mr. Neptunno,

First of all, I see that you say you only played SoC, so it might not be a bad idea for you to finish at least the STALKER - Call of Pripyat, although it seems that you also have pending the Metro - Last Light, which is much more linear and will take you fewer hours.

Let's see, doubts… this Stalker Lost Alpha is it really how SoC should have been? I mean, is it like playing the first one I finished in 2007 but with all its potential?

The Lost Alpha Project started as a MOD that recovered some of the ideas eliminated in the last phase of development of the first game (STALKER SoC), but it has ended up including (thanks to collaboration with GSC), several of the original ideas discarded in the initial phase, some of which evolved to become part of the other two games in the saga.

And, about the language… is it only in English?

Text in English and dialogues in Russian (some also in English with a strong Russian accent, if you choose the option when installing)

The saved games. Do they work between versions?

You already know the answer :). NO

Edit: Is it necessary to install the original game?.. I suppose so, but it's my doubt.

One of the particularities of this MOD is that, thanks to the collaboration with its developers, it has gone from having to install the original game (SoC) and then patch it, to being able to download the complete game directly (not SoC, the patched version ready to work, under the word that we have the game), which comes with a simple installer, and which in this latest version 1.4007 DC also has a Launcher that will save us a lot of headaches.

General recommendations:

It is a large MOD with small MODs that we can choose to install or not
It is recommended to have experience in the STALKER Universe, and to be clear that it is a game made by its community for the community as a tribute
Save the game every little while, or at least a couple of times in each map, because you may suffer some bug, due to some script that goes crazy
Your character will spend the day walking a lot, and fighting to manage the weight of his backpack, and what he needs to carry for each situation
In case it was not clear, save the game every little while!
If you get desperate looking for something, you can look for information in Lost Alpha Wiki

And that's all. See you in The Zone

Best regards! Stalkers!

[_Neptunno_]

@fassou Many thanks
I downloaded it last night and I was able to try it out, so I could clear up my doubts jeje. Indeed, you don't need the SoC to install it, besides the language is in English, but I have seen a couple of videos where you can put the texts and menus in Spanish:

(Old video in version V1.3000 but as a reference).

Clan DLan

I must say that this mod looks very good, I wonder if I will get into it and dedicate the time it deserves. Thanks for the Wiki thing and, I am clear that if I have more doubts I will ask you

Take care!

P.D: I suppose with this "Mod" you will get the most out of the Ryzen 1800X and the GTX1070 eh?

[Fassou]

If you have any doubts, you already know where we are

@fassou I was curious and tried to install Lost Alpha 1.004, I downloaded the full mod and proceeded to install it.
Once I open the installer, it gives me an error constantly and I am not able to run the game. Is the original game required? Because I have it, but I had read that it was not necessary and that installing it was enough.

Looking for some info on Google, what I am finding is not helping me understand why, has this happened to you? Is it solved by looking for another game launcher?

Regards!!

[defaultuser]

@_neptunno_ Well, I also trusted it to be a stand-alone, and in my case I don't have the base game.
What error do you get? I just downloaded it but haven't installed it yet.

[_Neptunno_]

@defaultuser the error I get is as follows:

From what I see in Russian forums and some English ones (Steam) it must be a matter of the configurator and that it is more up to date than the account (or less).

I downloaded one that I located, although I don't feel very confident about going into Russian pages because between not understanding a damn thing and things being hot and they can slip you any kind of bug if you're not careful...

but anyway I tried it and it stopped giving me the error, but the game starts but it stays as if it's running but nothing comes up.

I'm going to try to do a full installation...to see if it has to do with that. It has many things to touch, which is great to have so much configuration...but I see it as more complex to get it going if you don't know what you're touching xD

Regards!!

@_neptunno_ "... An error has occurred and the program's state is unstable... more details in the log."

Let's see if it's going to be more entertaining to install than to play but well when I have a moment I'll have to figure it out.

Salu2.

I hope not hahaha Anyway let's see if our buddy @Fassou can clarify something if he reads it and knows about the problem

What's really messing me up is that you can enable many options in the game, like other mods and such, but well... I'll give it Full and see what happens hahaha

I'm also thinking that I'm installing it on a modest PC, it's the family PC with an FX 8xxx /GTX 750Ti/16GB... maybe that has something to do with it.

I doubt it's obsolete, but the fact that there are many hands might have something to do with it

[Fassou]

@_neptunno_ You can't lose sight of them for a moment

You go here and download the 6 parts of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Lost Alpha v1.4007 DC. There is also a Torrent option if it's more convenient for you.

And the instructions you can read where you have the links is:

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Lost Alpha v1.4007 Developer's Cut  This is the full release of the 1.4007 version of Lost Alpha Director's Cut. No previous versions are needed, all mods are included.  To install, download this file, and the five other parts, put them into one folder, run the setup from the last file, and proceed according with the instructions. 

It is recommended to use a folder in the root, better if it's not in C:\\ to avoid permission problems.

The installer will launch several installers of necessary plugins for it to work correctly, but you will only have to do this the first time (I usually cancel most of them).

See you later!

[defaultuser]

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

[defaultuser]

@_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.
