Yep - Patches are "standalone" and
not incremental.
I.E. You dont have to install the game, then the 1.5.03 patch then 1.5.04 then 1.5.05.
Just install the game then install the latest patch which is .05 at the mo'.
I know I said a page or two back that I had given up with this game, but I loved it so much that curiosity got the better of me.
I initially tried just installing the 1.5.05 patch over my original Stalker CS install, which had both previous patches installed as well as the community scripts mentioned earlier which were supposed to help with crashes. I also attempted to load up a couple of saved games from the game running 1.5.04, none of which worked ( just gave me the usual CTD ).
However, this time, I completely uninstalled, reinstalled the game and fresh patch to 1.5.05. I also decided to start completely from scratch and forget my old "compatible" saved game progress.
Dont want to speak to soon, but it seems to have done the trick.
Gameplay is very smooth, runs at a good high detail level with good FPS and so far, no crashes at all. Not one.
So to those who are still having issues with crashes even after the latest patch, try a completely fresh install and start from the beginning again, hopefully that should do the trick.
Oh, and "admission time" - I
did use a trainer during my first attempts, this time I've decided to resist the temptation just in case giving me 999999 RU's also had something to do with the crashes to desktop, can't be sure but didn't want to take the chance.
