Lost Alpha is a new episode of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series made by dezowave group for free!
Lost Alpha Developer's Cut v1.4002 repacked version, containing pre-dc v1.3003 + dc v1.4000 + 1.4001 + v1.4002!
Here is a repacked version of Developer's Cut. You will need to install Lost Alpha 1.3000 first, then this big 1.4002 make sure 1.4002 is installed to same dir as 1.3000 (make sure you check the path in the installer)!! Then you are ready to play. If you install this the first time, new game start is a must. If you already had 1.4001 from various sources, new game start is still highly recommended, otherwise not all of the fixes will take effect. This new patch will erase your user.ltx to make sure nothing remains from the old 1.3 release, which could also cause trouble.
We were browsing the forums since the release of 1.4, and tried to fix all possible bugs, which we could in such a short time, to make the game much more enjoyable. We will post a changes log once its finished, it's not too long, but not short either.
Don't forget to bug us, if something happens, we will try to help, if we can. However there were many reports which were pointed to problems on the user's side, not on ours/game/. In most cases it took us hours to help, but we did, and in the end, everyone was happy. We will try to keep this attitude with players, who are the same friendly to us, as we are to them.
Important note:
If you install Lost Alpha 1.3000, don't forget to install the OpenAL sound driver in the end ,among with the other 3rd party content, so the game will work flawlessly as it should.
If you have problems with openal32.dll, remove it from the bins directory, and use the generic drivers in game. It's possible that it wont work on all hardware. We couldn't test all possible variations.

Since this new installer removed the old user.ltx, you will need to calibrate the hdr and tonemap settings once more. We will write a guide how to, but there is no good setting, thats why we havent included any, since it will look different on each monitor. You will need to open console, and type:
r2_tonemap_lowlum x.x and r2_toneamp_middlegray x.x (any value which is higher than the default ones in case of lowlum, and any value which is lower than the default in case of middlegray) and play with the values until you are satisfied. This needs to be set only once.
Also: make sure the "r2_allow_r1_lights" set to "on" in your new user.ltx after you installed this new patch!
Let's go to the Zone once more!
Whcih are the fixes which do not work when I use a savegame from old 1.40001
Is it possible to put this over an already installed 1.4001 game? Or is a reinstalled needed?
I would just do a reinstall.
Thanks for all the hard work, hyped to install this.
Any possible fix for AI? Sometimes enemies get not alerted at all when killing his buddy next to him? Or was it intent to do it like that?
Sweet!
Can it be installed straight over a 1.4000 game, or do I need to reinstall from scratch?
this contains 1.4000 aswell, you can install it, it will just overwrite the older files.
hey, bless you guys, keep going, awesome work
So i need install just 1.3000 game and then this patch?
Yep
From Dezowaves' readme up above:
Here is a repacked version of Developer's Cut. It contains the pre-dc patch 1.3003, and the dc 1.4000, 1.4001 plus it's newest 1.4002 version. Everything bundled into 1 single patch for easier handling.
'You will need to install Lost Alpha 1.3000 first, then this big 1.4002, and you are ready to play. If you install this the first time, new game start is a must. If you already had 1.4001 from various sources, new game start is still highly recommended, otherwise not all of the fixes will take effect.'
Hence the name, read me. :)

Thanks Dezowave team! :)
Does anyone please know if you can install it only on 1.3000? I already have 1.3001, would that be a problem?
Nope, 1.3001 patch is in 1.3003 and 1.3003 is here.
Well. Soooo... I'm indecisive now :D Anyway. Thank you both for the answers :)
Could you guys release patch 1.4002 without al the other stuff please? I've just installed 1.4000 and i really don't want to do it all over again...
Yep.. I started the game 2 times already, dont wanna reinstall everything and start the game already 3rd time..
what if you come from the 1.4002 internal is a new game start still recommended?
you can load old save it should just work fine, but its recommended to start new.

Thank your for this patch.
p.s. My programmably mouse keys (Windows 10, Logitech M705 + Setpoint-Software) doesn't work. (v.1.3000 ok.; v.1.3003 / v1.4000 not ok.)
With Windows 7 it has worked.
And i solved the openal problem with "openal soft"
Kcat.strangesoft.net
(Windows 10 Install: rename soft_oal.dll to OpenAL32.dll (Win32 + Win64), copy this to System32 / SysWOW64; the Win32 OpenAL32.dll also in the LA/bins folder and reboot)
finally got surround sound working, thanks!
OR
1) Find file wrap_oal.dll at C:\Windows\SysWOW64.
2) Copy wrap_oal.dll to S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Lost Alpha\bins
3) Delete OpenAL32.dll
4) Rename wrap_oal.dll to OpenAL32.dll.
5) Enjoy the game.
能解决Win10下游戏启动报错的问题。Thank you!感谢你!

thank you so much :)
in my user.ltx was "r2_allow_r1_lights" set to "off" :) I also set r2_tonemap_lowlum and r2_toneamp_middlegray to 0.7 and it looks great :)
i have a problem i changed values on r2tonemap lowlum and r2 tonemap middlegray and now on nightime i have daylight but if i change values again backwards its dark but on daytime its dark too. it just simply wont change i use objects dynamic lightning
Dezodor I need some help. If I try to cross to Yantar from the Bar there is an error
Expression : fatal error
Function : CBlender_default::Compile
File : BlenderDefault.cpp
Line : 62
Description : <no expression>
Arguments : Not enought textures for shader, base tex: mtl\mtl_green_gate
If i try a detour trough Construction Site another error
Expression : fatal error
Function : CModelPool::Instance_Load
File : ..\xrRender\ModelPool.cpp
Line : 117
Description : <no expression>
Arguments : Can't find model file 'weapons\p90\wpn_p90.ogf'.
I managed to discover that the P90 error is a mesh missing that was once covered in an update 13002 or something. Any idea how to get arround these errors would be highly apreciated.
It seems that i have worked arround the P90 error. It seems to be a missing mesh. For those of you who want a fix:
1. Search and download damir_mc_mod_v1.0.rar
2. Open it and copy Weapons dir to Stalker-lost alpha/gamedata/meshes/
3.Rename "wpn_p90" directory to "p90" (by deleting "wpn_")
This worked for me.
Still cannot solve the mtl\mtl_green_gate error. I will post the solution if it comes arround
It seems i have forgotten to sign in. This solution belongs to the user MESSEDUP
The mtl\mtl_green_gate error is solved.
It seems there is a problem with the render engine. If the renderer is switched between directx10 and directx11 there is no future green gate error. The static lighting generates the error, so I recommend swithching to directx Renderer. After that, going to advanced video setting and sliding the HUD to the left will somehow correct the bright sky light (the bright light problem needs further investigation).
There is a problem in dx9 full dynamic render, because everything is black. what is the problem? i need to fresh install? i just update game from 1.4001 to 1.4002.
please read the description before or after downloading:

Thanks it works! thanks for your help and your fantastic mod! :)
can you pls tell me what are r2_tonemap_lowlum and r2_toneamp_middlegray default values ?
THX (y)
i downloaded it but file is corrupted. is there going to be a torrent upload for this?
Yes! +1 I mean +100500 We need a torrent.
I'm glad you fixed Fox dying, I came back with his key after stealing all his stuff and he'd met an unfortunate end. Figured it was just the zone taking her own.
Very fast fix, when do you get to sleep? Thank you for all your work, much appreciated.
New patch new start and I see bug exactly my reflection. My shadow in front of me.
How to fix this ?
