I was a little premature, ( the game is up and running ) but I checked my files and it didn't load to a file they are scattered all over my D drive. Also when I load the game the modders script page doesn't appear, it's just a black page. Just out of curiosity I ran the down loaded installer and got the same message," incompatible version 1.1.0012 minimum of 1.1.0014 required". may uninstall and start from scratch?

Hi iceddeadmeat

At the risk of repetition from a previous post, please delete everything you have re StalkerSoup, then run a recommended registry cleaner to get rid of all remaining traces, and restart your PC before attempting reinstallation

Then follow the guide here, without missing a step, or the contents of a step...

It's just possible you have old or obsolete installation files. The Guide above explains how to verify them before installation

Having just rebuilt my PC I need to reinstall the game, so I'll update the Guide along the way to the latest version, and let you know when it's done

 
Thanks Sword I will give that a try !

sounds to me like you are downloading from stalkersoup.com and not stalkersoup.net. the .com is a bitcoin leech and very old and will not work with the new updater.

Hi guys

Windows 10? Recently updated? This issue has been reported by some. I'm guessing here, but try:

Run "sfc /scannow" to check for any corrupt system files
Reinstall Visual C++ from the following:

and
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] (64 bit)

Install both. If the installer says it's already installed, then do a repair install. For some reason, this is not an uncommon error with Windows 10. As I said, I'm not certain that's your problem, but the SWbmemlocator is part of the Visual C++ runtime.

Good luck.

No i use Window 8.1 Pro and i dont know when the last update was installed.
I have run the system scan and the result was one error that cant repaired by the system.

Also i deinstall the Visual C++ from 2010 and reinstalled with those from the links.
But the error messages happans again, when i try to run the setup.

Thanks for your answer but i wont work for me


Edit:
I download the ss installer from moddb and it works.
I install ss but the same error happens again when i try to patch the game with the updater.

I'm reinstalling this game for the 9th time. I have Win 10 and a SSD about 500 gb. as my C: drive with a F: partition split evenly. I also have a HHD about 2 tb. as my X: drive.

Reading the installation guide is confusing as it says the game can be installed in a SSD, but not in a C: drive. My SSD is my C: and F: drive.

In your opinion, which is the best installation location?

Definitely the F:\ drive

Even though it's on the same SSD as C:\ it's a different partition so it should be okay. Just don't install on the C:\ partition...

And as it's such a largish SSD, may I recommend that you over-provision it by about 10% to make it last longer? You can do this using the software for the SSD

Changing partitions can also be done in Windows "Computer Manager, Disk Management" or use "Minitool Partion Wizard".

I don't have the option to over-provision it by about 10%. I don't have the software for the SSD, but Win 10 allows for software compression...is that the same?

No, it's definitely not the same  

Does the manufacturer of your SSD have a software toolkit you can download? Everything you need will be in there

Also, just in case anyone doesn't know, do NOT defrag a SSD. It makes no difference whatsoever, and just wears out the SSD...

Thanks for the SSD degrag info...good to know. The ssd was installed by a 3rd party. If I can't find the toolkit.....sounds like a Stalker soup quest...I just install it in the partitioned drive. Not sure of the ssd manufacturer.

Not loading. I get a fs.game.ltx error. Frustrating!!!

Is the error that the game is unable to find fs.game.ltx? I seem to remember some people reporting this in the past. There are people here who understand installation issues far better than I do, but if you want to try just adding the file, I have uploaded my copy here. Put it in your main STALKERSOUP folder and see if it works then.

My solution was due to a version 12 setup with missing files. So I downloaded from a different site and it works fine. After installing version 12 I installed the 17 update and I was good to go.
