[Expansion] S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Eisenkrieg - Battle of Yanov Expansion (v1.0) file

The "Battle of Yanov" expansion for this well-received class-based shooter modification. Experience the struggle between Duty, Freedom and several groups of mercenaries as they fight for control within the Jupiter area. New twists and turns make for some entertaining gameplay, with some additional weapons being brought into the mix, too!

This expansion of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Eisenkrieg must not be installed on top of the demo version or any other version of this mod (including vice versa) as this will most likely cause file conflicts, crashes and break many scripts within the mod. Please keep the demo version (if installed), the full release and any expansions in separate gamedata folders. See the readme.txt file included in this mod or the instructions below for guidance on installing this mod.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

- Please make a backup copy of your gamedata folder before you use this mod. A new save game is recommended when using this mod.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:

- As part of an evolving story, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Eisenkrieg brings elements of the common World War II shooter to the Zone.

- In this expansion, play as either a member of Duty, Freedom or the Mercenaries and push your campaign against your enemies to the limit!

- Pick between Casual Mode and Hardcore Mode, the latter of which will put your skills to the test and the former that will allow you to slay your enemies at your own pace.

- Experience the taste of a diverse weapons arsenal that accurately treads the fine line between fun and realism, including real-life weapon names and ammunition types that primarily date back to the Second World War.

- Stick with your allies or strike out alone in an effort to efficiently eliminate your foes.

- Requires S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Chernobyl (1.4.22) to run. Not tested or adapted for other patches. Use with other patches is done so at your own risk, though frequent crashing may occur (hence the above). This expansion must be kept in its own gamedata folder, not installed on top of any installation of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Eisenkrieg.

- New game highly recommended.

NOTABLE ISSUES:

- Minor clipping issues may occur at high field of view (FOV) settings.

- NPC spawns may negatively affect FPS (frames per second) on low-end PC systems. Tweaking the population settings via the included axr_options.ltx file can mitigate these issues (works best prior to starting a new game).

- Spawning items via the debug menu on lower resolutions may cause crashes (this can also sometimes occur in vanilla installations of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Chernobyl). Resolutions of 1280x720 and 1920x1080 are recommended.

INSTALLATION:

1. Extract the .zip or .rar file for this mod. After that, copy the gamedata folder and paste it in your S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Chernobyl directory where your gamedata folder should be (as long as a gamedata folder is not already present). Make sure to back your files up!

2. Remember to have fun with it! Please tell me about your experiences with this mod.
