Was mid-chapter 2 man, but no need now, Celice already provided a great set of saves. Thanks, anyway! :D

Ah awesome, thanks so much man! Funnily enough it's precisely that mod that messed up game loading for me - quite possibly related to the spawns, def. Everything works, phew! I was actually up to the Chapter 2 part where you're getting into the Agroprom Stalker base, and you haved a perfect save for that - thanks again! :D

Hey guys,

Before I lose my **** completely and give up on the mod, does anyone have a save around the time you've done most quests in the Garbage and the Bar, and are about to earn the trust of Duty and get the Bar traders fully opened up?

Long story short, I messed around with a few gamedata mods, turns out some were out of date and not working, but for some reason it would just not properly load the game no matter what, so I figured like a total ******* to just reinstall the whole damn game, completely disregarding the fact that, unlike old Stalker (from memory) this DOESN'T have the user config/save files in the documents folder, but instead in the game's main folder.

Yup. I uninstalled the game. With it went all of my like 20 hrs of game time. Not to even mention the around an hour of messing around just to try and get it working, then deleting, then having to re-dl everything etc etc. Honestly, pretty damn annoyed at the mod but mostly myself. Can anyone lend a hand please? :/ Ideally put it up on gdrive or whichever upload platform I guess :)

EbonKnight @ Better Ballistics - True Stalker Edition

Dude, you realize that Master difficulty is the intended one, right? It is the only one where your outgoing damage is 100% - the other difficulties just add more fake damage to you and make enemies less likely to hit you adding some rng miss chance to them, which is frankly pretty lame. Dunno, honestly, I always look for these types of mods since basic STALKER combat tends to be lame and bullet spongy, but in True Stalker I pretty much one-shot headshot most things that aren't tough mutants or ceramic-helmet-wearing humans. Cleared out the Cordon checkpoint with those 7-8 soldiers by literally one-shot-head shotting each of them with a Tokarev, and that's like a tier 2 pistol at best (assuming we use a five-tier system). If you made all the assault rifles way deadlier I'm afraid it might be overdoing it - but I'm gonna try anyway :D

Guys, does anyone have an update on the font situation? It's still way too small for 4k, I hope they don't consider this "fixed" just cause we have the larger dialogue subtitles now, as even those aren't all that big, but other UI text is still woefully unreadably small.

Yeah, I figured as much, just couldn't find the second portal, I would beam up and then there would be a couple of islands but I didn't see any teleporters. Turned out that there were several other portals and you're just meant to find the right one.. kind of underwhelming, I agree :D Thanks!

Hey guys,

I must be missing something obvious, but I cannot figure out how to get to the end of the weird anomaly in the Technician Errand quest. I followed the scientists, watched the cutscenes, worked out there is a ground-based portal, aaaand from there I'm kinda stuck. The protal teleports me way up, and from there I could either try to jump towards the tree in the middle or go down to three successive small platforms, the first of which has a hole in the middle. The last one has some sort of psi anomaly and a teapot, but yeah.. it leads nowhere really. The 2nd platform is the best for getting on the tree, but even if I get on the tree I cannot figure out how to jump across it to the larger platform which has the ruined brick building. What am I missing, where are you meant to go? :)

Have you tried running the game as administrator? Perhaps you've installed it in Program Files, which causes all sorts of problems. Other than that, not sure, honestly. Try also changing the quicksave keybinds and doing some manual saves, tho I suppose you've already tried that?

Man I LOVE this mod. The atmosphere, the choices right from the beginning when it comes to each dialogue.. it's like CoP all over again - no other mod was this good, definitely. But what I love the most is the weapon balance. I feigned giving my artifact to Sweeper then stabbed him in the back to get his Tokarev. With that, I gave 500 rubles to Kuznetsov so I can pass the checkpoint just to super-quickly knife two of the most exposed guards. Don't ask me how, but I've managed to kill the rest of the checkpoint too even though I only had 7 bullets - headshots with the Tokarev instantly kill the soldiers and there is plenty of cover, and some downright godly/******** moves were pulled :D Epic damn mod, 10/10 so far :D

Awesome, thanks for the info bro! Yeah, the problem is that standard Stalker/Anomaly 4k fonts won't help, so we really need a custom-tailored solution. They are seriously TINY at 4k :)

Hey guys! This is even better than I expected, the polish of this mod, and the new Stalker engine are fantastic - it's like playing a whole new Stalker, yet still familiar - my favorite kind. Just one question - I game on an OLED TV these days, sitting a bit back from it, and also in 4k. What this does, however, is make the font here painfully small - I figure this was made for 2k and probably sitting closer to your screen than I am. Is there any way to increase the font size, though? Cause alternatively I'll have to lower the resolution or something :/

Hey dude, how do you install the 4K fonts on this? Just copying it to the Anomaly/Expedition directory doesn't do absolutely anything. It's a phenomenal modpack but not being able to read jack **** is a real deal-breaker :)

EbonKnight @ D3HDP - DooM 3 Essential HD Pack

Hey man, so I got the latest GOG version of the BFG edition and installed everything per instructions (though my game only had the base folder not the ones for the expansions). I've set up the resolution, fired up the Lost Mission aaaand.. well.. I don't think it's working at all. The game runs and all, but there are no high res textures and a lot of stuff is very blurry. Maybe the lighting is working (not sure, been way too long since I've played the original) but the textures definitely aren't.

What am I missing?

Hey guys,

Sorry if this is a sensitive topic, as I know you started off as the same team as Chronicles of Myrtana. But here's the thing, that mod is now out, it's very well-polished and, most importantly, it seems to tell a very VERY similar story in a very VERY similar gameworld to this one. No offense, please, I absolutely CANNOT wait for this mod to come out, but can you tell me how you plan to differentiate things enough?

IE is the main character ALSO looking for his brother, or is the story completely different, we just have the same merchant guild/city guard guilds to join, Adanos monastery and a large farm are present, story happens 10 years before Gothic 1 etc? I don't mean this mockingly, please don't understand it that way, I'm just trying to work out how much of a different direction your story took after the split with the CoM team? Obviously you shouldn't give out spoilers to the main story of this mod (nor will I to that of CoM) but it would be nice to get an idea since the two ideas seem very very similar.

Another question.. you guys have no intention of modifying combat I've heard, but is there any chance the mod will be compatible with Ninja mods? For example, the free aim mod? I think it would be fairly easy to implement but I respect your decision to keep the combat vanilla. The problem is only that I'm bored to hell with vanilla G2 combat after probably like 2000+ manhours on that game + NOTR + mods, so a bit of spice would be nice :)

Anyways, that's it from me, I hope you guys can answer some of these questions and that the mod development is going well :) Take all the time you need, CoM scratched my G2 itch just enough for now, but I can't wait for this mod to come out, still.

Voted in the Mod of the Year, hell, this mod deserves a Mod of the Decade award! :D

Just one q guys.. how do I get the free aiming mod Github.com to work with this? :) I installed the latest Ninja to enable the mod's functionality but 1) the menu option is a little off - not a problem 2) it only seems to work on G1 controls - not a problem 3) after the game has been run once with everything installed and running all the saves will later crash until I uninstall the .vdf file - big problem.

Any ideas guys? I love this mod to bits, but that free aim is something I can't play Gothic ranged characters without these days :D

Hey guys, another q, sorry if it's a bit spoilerish. TLDR tho, is it possible later to learn mana regen or some new spells and is magic always a guild-less affair? Getting to the point where I'm considering whether to go for magic or str/dex and just wondering what other new things we have aside from the spears for ex characters combat-wise :)

Hey, I have a question guys: how would this mod work with G2DX11 mod? I noticed you guys already have the G2DX11 folder in the system directory but only for some custom stuff, none of the fancy gfx stuff is there. The mod already looks very nice of course, but I'm just wondering would I mess anything up if I added the latest DX11 build for G2 to the installation as per usual?

This is pretty crazy. I know I was sure this mod would be fantastic the moment I saw the first parts showcased, but you guys have still managed to surpass my expectations. This is EASILY the best mod ever created for Gothic II and honestly probably my favorite thing related to a PB-related game since Gothic II NOTR. It's not only better than any other mod out there I can think of but it's also honestly more fun than Elex, so you guys are beating PB, too :D
