Optional: Why you should play without musicįor all games: apply both the latest AtmosFear and Absolute Nature content as are available, after applying the tweaks below first.

If you only want/have time to play one of the three, Shadow of Chernobyl is still the recommended one to play, because (spoiler-free) the other two carry on with a certain game element that assumes past plot knowledge, and feels awkwardly (and possibly annoyingly) unexplained without experience of SoC.


Alternatively, check .Īlways start with SoC, and then play either of the other two in any order (usually in the order of release). These are stats from one of the subreddit moderators. games released by the community to try out.Īssuming full story + some side quests completed, with no free-play/replaying: If you cannot/are unwilling to pay for S.T.A.L.K.E.R., please continue to scroll down and find some completely free, standalone S.T.A.L.K.E.R. I will try this, thank you.Always use IsThereAnyDeal to assess the best game prices (ignore the erroneous Microsoft Store entry, which is for a different game)! I highly recommend the ZRP bug-fixes anyway. You should do this anyway, as high cam_inert values result in mouse lag that can contribute to motion sickness. The common response to headbob complaints is to remove or reduce the camera inertia, which in STALKER SoC has a default value of 0.7 if the game has to recreate the user.ltx file. NatVak: It sounds like you have already tried set cam_inert 0 in the console. Don't forget the fsgame.ltx change above. Rename it to just effectors.ltx so the game can use it. Make the gamedata\config\misc\ subdirectory path in your STALKER installation directory if it doesn't exist already, then copy one of the effectors.ltx.* files to that new gamedata\config\misc\ folder. In that mod is a directory called gamedata\config\misc\optional\ which has a couple of files that address the headbob issue: _bob and _bob. Unpack it with a suitable extractor like 7-Zip. One mod that has that file is the ZRP bug-fix mod. In either case, for SoC to use that file, you will need to set any 'false' on the second line of the fsgame.ltx file to 'true'. You can extract that file, or you can get it from a mod. The game uses resource files (like gamedata\config\misc\effectors.ltx) in packed archives called gamedata.db*. It sounds like you have already tried set cam_inert 0 in the console.
