Lost Alpha install?

[Taberone]

How do I install Lost Alpha? Could someone give me a TEXT guide on how to install Lost Alpha? I am not interested in watching a 12 minute long video on how to install it, or even a 2 minute long video. I find a text version easier.

How would I know if it installed correctly also?

EDIT:What do I do when it does the DirectX2010 install thing, and the XVID thing? I've heard about that.

simple, you just download all 4 Winrar files, open the first file ( Part 1 ), install the game to the harddrive you want, and you're done. when you're done installing the game, alot of unknown progames will pop up and i'd recommend you don't install any of them.

just cancell them, you'll hardly need them. if you're on 32-bit you'll need to delete the MSVCR120.dll file or the game will flip out. if you're on 64-bit then you'll need the MSVCR120.dll file or the game won't run.

you can get MSVCR120.dll by downloading Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013.

to remove MSVCR120.dll you'll have to find it in the folder were you installed the game. NOT from the Progam Files (86x) folder.

Also, all 4 files must be in the SAME folder or the install won't work.

I highlighted all 4 parts, rightclicked them, clicked "Extract files...." and extracted them to a folder simply titled "Lost Alpha". Like that?

i just opend the first Winrar file and installed it from there. i did not extract the files.

if you look into the Winrar files you'll see some of the files are the same, so extracting them would be a waste of time.

What about the patch?

Also what was the point of downloading all 4 parts if I just needed to open up the first one

you should download the patch if you can, as it fixes alot of nasty bugs.

you only need to open the first one becuase it has the installer, the other files are core pieces of the game and the reason why there pieces is becuase Moddb has a maximum file size limit.

look at it this way. Part 1 is like the first CD you'd put into your computer to start installing the game, while CD 1 2 and 3 has the rest of the pieces but couldn't fit into one CD.

How stable is this, and what is this crash I hear about thats related to this thing called Sin(Cut from the original SOC, I think) and the mines? Apparently if you kill Sin members it crashes the game.

EDIT:Am I supposed to see myself transparent if I look straight down or get close to Sidorvich?

what do you mean? see your own feet? you're not suppose to look at yourself in third person. if you want third person you can use Bind cam_1 kf1, but it doesn't work in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Lost Alpha.
