I’ve archived the contents of the first post so that I can use this one to keep you guys up to date. I’ve fixed boatloads of CTDs! Here are the download links:

These two patches are now depriciated. Unless you are having issues with the new patch (above), don’t bother with these.

If you are having issues with this error, I made a fix for it in a new compilation with all of the previous ones:

[error]Expression : fatal error
[error]Function : CScriptEngine::lua_error
[error]File : E:\priquel\sources\engine\xrServerEntities\script_engine.cpp
[error]Line : 180
[error]Description :
[error]Arguments : LUA error: ….e.r. - clear sky\gamedata\scripts\sim_combat.script:725: attempt to index local ’squad’ (a nil value)

The patch is in the form of a script mod, instructions are below. This includes the fixes by others for similar problems, but these didn’t fix my errors, so I took them, and continued to edit and add files as necessary.

In your Stalker Clear Sky archive create a folder named gamedata.
Inside that another one called scripts.
Copy the fixed scripts in there (… \Deep Silver\S.T.A.L.K.E.R.\gamedata\scripts)

Then open up fsgame.ltx ( … \Deep Silver\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Clear Sky) with the windows editor or notepad and search for this line:

$game_data$ = false| true| $fs_root$| gamedata\

and edit it like so:

$game_data$ = true| true| $fs_root$| gamedata\

Save the file and try if the scripts you downloaded are working.

If you have a CTD that I haven’t fixed, first check to see if it happens more than once, then goto \_appdata_\logs\xray_ and post the bit between “FATAL ERROR” and “stack trace:”. This will allow me to try to fix the bug for us. So far I’ve been fixing nil LUA errors, but I’ll take a crack at anything that is CTDing your game (assuming I have the time!).

See this post on the GSC forum to post your CTD:

I love this series, and was sick of waiting for a patch, and thus this effort was born. I hope you all enjoy my removal of CTDs from the Zone!
