What is the latest version of Stalkersoup and where can I get it please?

The version of Stalkersoup I have is I suspect out of date. But it is dated to 2019. Please let me know the number of the version that has the Levelup 3 ending included.
Thanks and Regards, TrueB

The current published game is version 1.1.0019.1, and takes us to somewhere in level 2 (Storm/Desolation). The next update, which I understand will complete Levels 2 and 3, is still with TecnoBacon being tested. I don't know when it will be released, but assuming that everything has to be tested from start to end, it may take a while. I don't know what the version number will be, but as a major update I would guess 1.1.0020...?

Hi pchester, I read that another player who posted "Stalkersoup finished (for now...)" had finished and I assumed the player means the end of Levelup 3?

Hi TrueB. I didn't see that, but AFAIK the only people who have seen Level 3 are those doing the testing. I assume that the "for now..." in the above quote means that they have reached the end of the game as it stands now... which is mid-Storm, same as in the walkthrough.

You can always use the updater in your main STALKERSOUP folder to see if a later version is available for your game.

Hi pchester, thank you for explaining. I did wonder. Please advise where the latest version can be acquired?
All the best,

Run the updater program (UpdateSS.exe) in your main STALKERSOUP folder. This will tell you if there is a later version available. If there is, the updater will offer to auto-update your game for you.

Alternatively, if you want to install the game from scratch, full step-by-step instructions for downloading, installing, and updating to the current latest version of the game are in Part 6 of the Installation Guide

The latest version of the Guide is 1.10019.1f. It was released on 15 Aug 21, and can be found here

Hi pchester, thanks, I tried this without success.
If I only had the version ending in 12 as the necessary start version or even not that, please advise where I should go to get Stalkersoup as a newbie or similar for its been a long while since I had to download and that ended in disaster so I am seeking a safe site to download it from please?

Hi Sword2012,
Thanks for your reply, re stalkersoup-installation-help.
I have just downloaded your installation guide and my version is the 64bit Windows 10 version 1.10018 version? Do I just download the 1.10019 version for the relevant Windows from each of the choices please?
On 5th October as far as I know, Windows 11 will be released; what effect will this have on Stalkersoup have please? Thanks and Regards TrueB

I'm sorry, but I'm not certain I understand your questions

If you mean that your current installed game version is 1.10018, then please follow pchester's advice and use the Updater to bring it up to 1.10019.1

If, however, you want a completely fresh install, free of any inherited problems from previous installs, then simply follow the Guide from page 1, and continue right to the end - making sure you include the Windows 10 page

Though if you're using Windows 10 Pro, then you'll probably find that these tips aren't as much of an issue as they are with Windows 10 Home

As for Windows 11, it's too early to say what problems it will bring, and personally I'll wait until it matures before adopting it. But I'm sure we'll start seeing tips from the forum re Windows 11, and these will be added to the Guide as and when...

Hi Sword2012,
I have the 1.10018 on my PC, indexed and working. I pressed the updater but nothing happened, which is why I  have been trying to find out which site it can be downloaded from?

Hi TrueB

As StalkerSoup continues to evolve, the improved Installer with Updater have made manual updates obsolete

The fact that your Updater isn't working suggests a fault in your installed game

You'd be better starting with the base game of 1.10012, and letting the Updater take you straight to 1.10019.1, without including all the now-obsolete steps along the way

FYI, I understand that the base game will change again with 1.10020, it will be quite different to what we're used to, and a fresh start will be essential to take full advantage of it...

Will update come out in 2021 or 2022?

The honest answer is... we don't know. I am hoping it will come later this year, but Covid is affecting StalkerSoup development as it has affected many other things, and progress is understandably slow. The last I heard was that the new patch was being tested, but this could be a long process. The changes mean that a new game start is required, so the testers have to play through the whole game to reach the new content at the end. Then any problems they find will have to be fixed and tested again. Speaking personally, I would prefer the developers to take their time and get it right, rather than rush to push something out and risk introducing more problems.

Just take your time guys, if SS really becomes greater mod and stable then it could be even greater rival to OP 2.1 Soup. Just I would like discord for Stalkersoup because it's much easier than forums and everybody uses discord these days. Good luck to all devs and admins!
