S.T.A.L.K.E.R Shadow of Chernobyl Worth Playing?

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R games were one of best games. I remember playing each one through 2 times and just could not get how much it dragged you in!

Enjoy them with minimal mods, I only put graphical mods on :D

What graphic only mods would you recommend? Thats a good idea IMHO, just graphic enhancing mods, at least for first or unfinished play trough's.
 
^^ Autumn Aurora 2 gets plenty of praise. You won't go far wrong with that.

There are others, though it's been a while since I've last looked only for a texture/graphics mod. You can always check this list out, though it is a rather lengthy one to sort out! :)

Edit: I just tried using the search option (something I've not used before on moddb), so that should help a bit to thin things out a little:

Ouch, it says mod contains malware or virus, from that moddb.com link? wont even let me download it???

Using Malwarebytes free and Windows Defender, any other links for the mod?

I can't promise it doesn't contain a virus mind, surely being one of the main mods, middy wouldn't host it if it was dodgy?

Have downloaded it with IE, checked the finished download with Defender and Malware bytes, nothing, odd that Firefox decided there was something wrong, first time I've seen Firefox refuse to download because of something like that but seems fine, have the mod installed and will start a new game tonight, looking forward to it :)

is that a cause for crashes too then?

I can't remember exactly when, but I recall reading one of the Misery mod devs mentioning this before, though I don't think your problem sounded like that was the main cause. To be on the safe side, it doesn't hurt to make the occasional hard save as well. :)
 
Could not get Autumn Aurora 2.1 working with my original Stalker patched up to 1.6, although that game worked OK in Win10 64 before I tried installing the mod.

Tried GoG Stalker SoC, again it worked fine in Win10 64, installed Aurora 2.1 and crash as soon as I try to launch!

Had a google and found on GoG forum that if I install the mod without ENB enabled it will work, it did, read also that if you then launch from the game folder settings exe it will launch with ENB (whatever that is?) enabled, this works too.

It looks great, very atmospheric, different starting location and cant seem to find that suit that helps in the early part of the game through the hole in the roof? not sure if its been removed for this mod? can anyone confirm? Off to raid the bandits now.

Will hard save, in fact that's all I ever do, there was something about not getting the PDA too cluttered as well for the mod? I guess not to many unfinished quests helps in less game crashs? we'll see.
 
If it's the same one I'm thinking of, then I couldn't find it in Call of Chernobyl either, so I guess they removed it for that mod (AA) too.
