Thanks user but,i already did and it still the same error.

support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2999226/update-for-universal-c-runtime-in-windows

drivereasy.com/knowledge/api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0-dll-missing-error-solved/

It seems i have a gig worth of updating,thanks again man

KB29999226 not being installed might be the reason. you may or may not have to reinstall visual studio stuff. i would just in case, but thats just be and my autism

I should also mention if you have KB2670838 installed it will probably fuck up your DX10+DX11 games.
Dunno what OS you are using but it gave me a bunch of trouble in Win7 Pro X64
uninstalling it got rid of my random crashing issues in DX10 for CoP and CLear Sky

Someone redpill me on weapon gulash? found a mod collection with it in there but the hands all look like death

im using Win7 on my potato and Dx9,am i good?

for

yeah you should be.
I usually play CoC in dx9 enhanced+ high settings. but i also have KB2670838 removed.

>tfw can't change current reality

Why do the NPCs still say "Stalker" in Russian and not "Cтaлкep"?

hey goys, just beat my first SHOC playthrough. Do you guys have any mod suggestions?

holy shit survival mode is a joke

Good hunting Stalker

lol bizon

new arsenal mod

I see an SVD and an Abakan
what bizon?

Play CoC

is abakan with 40 mm toot toot boom, comrade

merely a typo
lol *abakan

This. Got the shit one out of the way, now you can enjoy proper stalkan (freeplay greentext simulator)

dont die on my stalker

Have you ever played mount and blade? Pretty sure you would like it.

Yeah I played it a bunch

Gonna start me some radiophobia boys. Get ready for librarians, crazy monster spawns and mid game crashes. On a positive note, the gun fights are awesome.

So is lost alpha still complete trash or has anyone made a decent freeplay experience (actual smart terrains and no retarded original content "story")

Well, Zone of Alienation is all about Misery, so yeah, it is.

beyond several cryptic quest items hunting and cringy, unskippable cutscenes it's more than serviceable (also, car physics is absolute dogshit)
I genuinely have no idea, why people are pissed off with it (yeah, the plot goes way south, but modders just wanted to fill the game with story excuses for a player to visit every location included)
Also, the slav translation currently available make the cutscenes look and sound a bit less painful.

Because the Russian word is based on the English word. They use the Cyrillic alphabet equivalent of the English letters, so they have the same sounds phonetically. Also note how both words have the same number of letters.

...

It's CoC isn't it? Why, it's the most drab, bland looking Zone i've ever seen and I played Misery

How have you not played CoC

what makes you think i didn't? I just wasn't sure if your picture is from CoC

Because if you had, you wouldn't have said such a stupid thing.

it isn't - the color palette is the most lifeless as of yet and me playing it is exact reason why i can make strong judgement on it

You one of those people who think cranking up saturation by 200% and smearing blur and bloom all over makes games look better?

i'm not here to discussing me, matey, so you can fuck off right now - I won't talk to you anymore

Why are you posting a vanilla screenshot as an argument? It looks exactly the same in CoC.

sure

how on earth did you fuck up your settings that bad lmao

>hurr durr it's the settings, not the modders being retards
you seem like an intelligent person, worth talking to not really

Yeah, it is the settings, you tech illiterate retard.
Bet you're using DX10/11.

goatfucker can talk. You seem awfully defensive for some noname mod nobody in their right mind would care defending. Are you Brazilian or something?

All would've been forgiven if the gameplay wasn't complete crap
>can't go to this location yet (seeing all the new maps is the *only* reason to play LA)
>do some more fetch quests 3 maps apart sdalger
>no A life whatsoever, so you'll have plenty of time to appreciate all the scenery in peace
>it actually has smart terrains but all of them are static
>if they bothered to include more than a couple on a given map that is

Nice hud
Nice vanilla gun model
Nice crosshair, faggot

Does CoCk look better on DX9?

You didn't answer the question. Do you even know what DX10/11 stands for?

DX10/11 are broken in all the games. Like literally broken, they straight up disable some effects.

Nice vanilla gun model
>Nice crosshair, faggot
autism

>DX10/11 are broken in all the games.
I thought that was only DX11.

>52 medkits
>52 bandages
>3000 bullets
>crosshair enabled
>talking trash to anyone
lmao

>189645210
Was it autism?

>Like literally broken, they straight up disable some effects.
Only one I'm aware of is global illumination. Dynamic wet surfaces shouldn't work on DX9 but someone patched it in SoC. SSAO never worked. CoCk has toned down godrays compared to CoP.

nope

...

...

So you are playing with a broken renderer, and then complaining the game looks bad.

What a fucking retard.

...

Now you're not even making any sense anymore. Stop foaming in the mouth, take your time and think about what you are typing.

...

Actually, I was exaggerating - Call of Chernobyl looks not bad, even great at some places

game sure looks worse in dx9

...

Did some comparisons during a thunderstorm on cordon
>DX9
No wet surfaces, blinding godrays from lightning
>DX10
Wet surfaces, godrays still blinding
>DX11
Wet surfaces, more natural looking volumetric light from lightning

A SoC location (pripyat)
>DX9
Bump mapping looks a bit sharper, shadows interact with bump maps
>DX11
Glitchy wet film on some textures from your torch

Main reason CoCk looks drab I think is default atmosfear presets, which are 90% foggy overcast or rain

>90% foggy overcast or rain
spot on m8 - it's not about how many special effects are rendered, but about the actual color palette. That's it

...

...

...

...

huh, not what I intended but this actually looks pretty fucking cool

>going from Dead City to Yantar puts you in the middle of Yantar, and you die of psy damage
Don't think that's intentional when Yantar has a second way to Dead City, which doesn't kill you

>>DX11
>Wet surfaces, more natural looking volumetric light from lightning
*****broken lighting, broken shaders, use more gpu to get same results as either of the other renderers

foggy is best weather though

>*****broken lighting, broken shaders
Never noticed anything like that

>use more gpu to get same results as either of the other renderers
If your GPU is optimized for DX11 it'll have 0 performance difference

Rainy is top comfy tho

yeah you probably would if the renderer wasnt a rushed, broken POS

>GPU is optimized for DX11
That doesn't matter when the engine is hot garbage.

DX10 and 11 have better performance, not because they are well implemented which would cause them to have better performance, but because some of the effects that are in DX9 simply don't work.

Just look at , does that look like the lighting is working properly to you?

dx11 doesnt work properly

>does that look like the lighting is working properly to you?
no, but he's also a retard who cant set his gfx settings if his life depended on it.

I know DX11 doesn't work properly, that's what I just said.

Historically in games, DX10 and 11 and 12 have better performance than the previous one (assuming the same settings of course).

pardon me, i misread.

Such a shame that it's broken, the volumetric smoke does look tasty.

Vulkan render when?

...

I don't recall 1.4.22 looking as good as this. Same mods and settings and everything.

AN redux? Are you using any weather/skybox mods?

ANR/SR/SWTC/ESFX

I know ANR for 1.5 is different but I thought it was only for the geometry changes. Settings and configs are the same.

you do extrapolate a lot just to win over some argument/someone's heart. I think I know my shit and the settings are set to dx10 with everything but AA maxed out.
The only thing you two dumb shits can't figure out is off with the Marsh picture is that the distance fog was forced to be turned off in weather settings. God rays aren't there because it's nearly midday and they mostly are visible from 5 till 8-9'ish.
So stop spewing out insults left and right and think on your train of thought before opening your gob and eagerily jumping to conclusions like an arrogant moron.

Actually, this whole place is a fucking mistake that's wasting my and your time for nothing good. Have fun licking each other's bottoms and hissing on anything you can't comprehend.

default shadow map was set at 1024 ? as default for 1.5, versus 2048 for 1.4.22 i vaguely remember reading that in the coc 1.5 comments on moddb

it's not an argument
tards gonna tard

I remember ANR having ferns fucking everywhere. Maybe it was an older version.

Crank up your grass draw distance and density m8.

nice pasta m8

btw how would anyone know exactly what you have for your settings based off looking at a screenshot alone? oh right, nobody but you.
all i can tell is it looks like shit.

>So stop spewing out insults left and right and think on your train of thought before opening your gob and eagerily jumping to conclusions like an arrogant moron.

take your own advice man
