Stalker Patch 1.0005

In 1986, the world's worst nuclear disaster occurred at the Chernobyl power station. Soviet authorities established a 30km 'Exclusion Zone' around this nuclear wasteland, but in 2006 a second explosion rocked the stricken reactor, obliterating all living things and causing the Zone's boundaries to ripple outwards. From this epicenter came waves of mutated creatures, deadly radiation, and a strange, anomalous energy.
Stalker Soc 1.0005 Patch
Homepage(s): www.stalker-game.com Please submit any corrections, additions. Requires russian patch 1.0005 (145MB) US CD/DVD update 1.0004 to 1.0005 (29MB). The ultimate source of patches & addons for S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl.

The Zone was cordoned off by the military, who would shoot on sight anyone foolish enough to brave the horrors within. If you follow the link it shows a selection of WW and US patches, The US patches are the ones for the US and UK market, The patches include older patches so you do not need to use earlier patches first, you can go straight to patch 1,0004, 1,0005 or 1,0006 depending on the mod you plan on using with the install (I've never had issues doing that). I don't think there's any mods relevant today that are built on older than 1,0004. It's good to have all the patches safely stashed away, I have all the ones available for all the STALKER games.

WW, US and RUS.
