COC and Arsenal Overhaul

[Hannibal Marcus]

I own the base game so no worry
Im struggling to mod COC with Arsenal Overhaul 3. The game become way less stable (even for Stalker) and get 5-10 min loading screen for every loading. Any advise ? Or a better weapon mod, im bored of original weapon.
I use 1.4.22, and would like to know as well which mod I should play, focusing on sidequest, exploration an thrill (playing always after midnight). And nothing too demanding, I want the game to run smoothly and load quickly.
Thanks stalkers

Is this the one you're using?

Also, long loading screens are normal, and CoC isn't that stable to begin with. 5-10 minutes sounds like you're trying to run too high graphic settings and need to tone it down. Have you tried scaling back graphics or switching to a lower directx version?

I recommend upgrading to Anomaly. I've never crashed when it wasn't the fault of a bad mod ordering. Load times will still be long though.

Anomaly and COC are totally different mods. Call of the Zone is a new mod which does what CoC does but better, I suggest that. Anomaly is hyper realistic and super boring.

I'll check for Call of the zone. 5-10 min without any graph mods, and vanilla it's like 40sec.

I enjoy Anomaly. I might try out CoTZ further but I personally really enjoy the realistic aspect of Anomaly. It's not as punishing as Misery while still holding the potential for roleplay as you move through the zone. I don't do any of the quests, I just enjoy pretending to be a stalker for a while, even if it handicaps me.

Interesting, I've asked for a mod and now I've to decide between to main mods. I've dl CoTZ. Maybe Anomaly when I'll want a more focus experience.

Anomaly can be COC in the settings or it can be like Misery. Choosing the new game settings and in game settings can cater to the most casual peon or more hardcore audiences. That is why its better. It contains everything COC contains. It has most of the addons you would want for COC. Its pretty simple as to why Anomaly makes Call of Chernobyl obsolete.

Okok alright. I'm playing CoTZ, and i've to say that it's good, but not amazing. You can litteraly loot your compagnions, there is to many mutant noise without mutants and ironsight fov is .... strange. And the whole experience seems easy. Why Anomaly would be better ?
