That's fantastic, thank-you, for both the quick response and posting the solution.

It's a shame that ModDB doesn't have a pin message option for it's comments

One of my only frustrations with this compilation is the lack of the minimap (especially as it includes the updates by soopytwist's mod)

Is there a simple means to add it back in please?

Apart from that, loving this compilation of fixes, and thank-you LiquidBronze and others for their work on it <3

Another day, another crash
No mods except AMD Fix and PRM from the official channel

Expression : error handler is invoked!
Function : handler_base
File : xrDebugNew.cpp
Line : 775
Description : std: out of memory, usage: 591726 kb, used blocks: 59719680, free blocks: 8184832, heap: 591726 kb

Any ideas to resolve?
Thanks

On AMD/ATi by any chance?
If so, same issue here
It's a known problem with all STALKER games due to erroneous API calls. Sadly no fix yet, and as a result I've never completed Lost Alpha in either it's 1.4005 or 1.4007 iterations...
The AMD Fix mod makes things better, but does not sort out these API crashes... It's unplayable past dead city and regularly crashes till then.

Yep, it is a shame that 1.4007 is the final version with this still not fixed. Im hoping the AMD Fix mod, currently at 1.00 will add it in time (currently only fixes the reflection crash)

I do not use any mods excepting the AMD fix and catalyst drivers are most up to date from a "clean install"

Nonetheless, i'll try the DDU and install again... Never trust a in-built app to clean install and all... Maybe the DDU will remove other things that AMDs own uninstaller wont :)

Thanks for help.

Dawbra and revonaut

I've tried without saving as suggested, sadly i still regularly get crashes with the above line 629 error, regardless

Interestingly, there does indeed still appear to be a seperate save bug, also generating a line 629 error... This is noticeable when the game autosaves between levels leading to the crash

But with the game CTD-ing to this every 3-10 minutes in normal play, on a single map without saves, it's not just a save issue :(

Really hope a solution is found

This is a known, and long standing bug, with STALKER games and AMD/ATi hardware, it's not just Lost Alpha.

Sadly, there is no fix unless the community can find one. I know your pain, i've been playing on AMD hardware since SoC and the crashes every few minutes is something i've had to become used to.

Not entirely sure this is true, i can find artefacts with the detector and without having to push things into anomolies. Some also respawn after a blowout.
The appeal with me for LA is artefacts are HARD to find and require specialist kit and firmware upgrades on your detectors ;)

I have the same issue, i'm on an AMD system (Ryzen 2 and ATi Graphics) It seems to be a problem with AMD/ATi hardware and has existed since the Directors Cut first releases (Pre 1.4007)

I haven't got a fix and changing hardware is not an option either. Until it's fixed we just have to play the game between crashes every 3 to 5 minutes as i did all the way through 1.4005 too.

Unless LiquidBronze knows of a solution?

Glad to see you are still around; i long to see what this mod produces in time. The history and background is fascinating.

If i recall; they are not using the SOC engine, i seem to remember they got an unreleased and updated version via GSC :)

This is how cults start (and end) :D

Seriously, why even bother posting if you already can see the hard work put into the mod, and already know it won't suck...

Also, you wouldn't be able to use weapons in the Strugatsky's version of the zone, as the zone actively seeks to harm those who would damage it...

So I imagine that there will be quite a bit of "re-imagining" to make the zone allow weapons, but also not impeach on GSC's S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

I foresee future legal wrangling if bitComposer really is taking on making another zone based game...

The rUpture?!?

Ha, that made me smile :D

To keep with comments though, yes, it's good to know, that as with BMS, Lost Alpha will get there eventually, and with a new engine too!

Probably because we've got more of an attention span than you and don't feel so insecure in our lives that we constantly have to distract ourselves from the misery of our own existence like you do.

We don't need new things constantly, we're happy with what we have.

BMS was worth the 8-years waiting for and will be great to play until it won't run any-more...

"That is when the world will end"

Either way, i can't wait :D

Thanks Dezodor, i never knew you were approached :)

First comment here in months and i don't understand the situation :D

Still, I wish people focussed on their own engines rather than remixing existing ones; getting games out in pursuit of cash, rather than investing years at a time in new ideas and designs that they can reap the rewards from later.

It may pay off financially, but it's created a relatively static games industry over the past decade.

This is why STALKER was so special; it wasn't your typical RPG-FPS, that in part was due to it's engine (with all the bugs that made it all the more quirky)

Mind you, i'm an old fart; i haven't really moved on from 1993, it's bedroom programmers and Credits that didn't go on for 15-minutes when you complete the game :D

*Runs away to lurk for another 6 months before he next comments*

**@MemoHK**
Another CryEngine FanBoy i guess? I've seen the "Why not use CryEngine" argument so many times over the years!

If everyone used or updated existing engines the industry would never have anything truly original to play with.

STALKER 2's loss is saddening, but at least we got STALKER 1 to take away so many hours our lives

Be happy about that and stop trying to say things would have been different if they'd done it your way.

Just a little more than Priboi Story's 256MB (500MB+) .7z then :D

Agreed fluffy22; but it's only because most people on here are impatient, pubescent, idiots! Sadly the internet is full of them :D

Q3 means "Quarter 3" I.E. the third quarter of the year; basically between July and September! So no we are not "past quite some time"... Just wait and stop trolling...

GSC was NOT dissolved. It was rumoured they were, then they came out and dismissed the news!

...comment deleted by poster... The above was a reply to smudge on next page...

It's time you started to read and realise where they do, frequently, update us. Instead of trolling moddb :D

Looks like the trolls are back...

DO YOU NOT READ! There have been updates from the BM Team, even in the last week, you just have to know where to look...

I would point you to it, but i think you would just go and troll over something else... Grow up or FO!

Thanks for the info Michael, it's good to see you back. Hope you had a good new year.

Maybe you should get some patience and check that something is actually released BEFORE you head off to spend cash if your that up in arms about it...

BMS will get released, when i dont know, and frankly i dont care because we will get it one day and thats good enough for me...

Far too many man-hours have been spent on getting the mod this far, i doubt the devs will simply let it die... Especially without an official announcement...

So take NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS as your motto and go away :D

If that's the case, it's time to break out this whilst we wait for BMS...

With regards to yohoat9's comment below I DO have faith in the team :D Keep going guys!

My God! That's a long video ;) GTA:Stalker, niiice +rep

He left a few pages back. Doesn't want people thinking he's a **** and feeding the Trolls in the meantime. Don't blame him to be honest. Wish the trolls would go and hide under a bridge somewhere where they belong.
