Crash when you put on an an outfit?

[Data]

So... I got my friend into playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R and he has modified game files to carry more. But he had to do it the hard way - extracting all the database files and modifying them.

He changed it - everything was smooth. Then he noticed an issue. Whenever he would put on the Mercenary Suit, his game would crash and he would have to restart the PC. He has not tried it with other suits.

We have found one way to fix the issue - put the armor into a box/body/backpack first and then take it and it would automatically get equipped.


How should we fix it?

Remove custom modification where you messed something up. Easy as pie.

My friend did not mess anything up. He just used the database extractor to modify the max weight. He didn't change anything else

It sounds like your saying you edited the base game files, and are now experiencing crashes. However, you do not think the issue is from your file edits.

That means you think the game itself is causing this error. An error that none, that I've see, have had, nor have they had your custom edits...

I suggest undoing your edits one by one and see what stops the crashes.

He edited only 3 lines:

max_weight in System.ltx
max_item_mass in Actor.ltx
max_walk_weight in Actor.ltx

I edited those files myself too and nothing happened to me. However, my friend already tried using the default files

There are different packages where patches override basic game resources. You may have unpacked an outdated version of the file.

How could it be outdated if my friend downloaded it a week ago?

The same relevant config files exist in multiple gamedata.db* files (gamedata.db0, .db9, .dba, .dbb), with newer versions appearing later in alphanumeric order, so the ones needed are in the latest gamedata.db* file that has them.

Have you tried verify the game files in steam? If there is som bogus there steam will correct it.
I am assuming you are playing vanilla - those changes in those three lines doesnt screw up the game. However if you added a mod I dont think verifying the files will help.

It's called a backup your friend should try it sometime..

Perhaps the game itself has had it with those posing Mercenary's?
