First Release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.
Year 2012. Six years passed since the time of the Second catastrophe to have made the April events of 1986 fade.
The game is set in the Chernobyl exclusion zone which turned from a destiny-breaker place into a threat to all mankind. The Zone is reluctant to open up its mysteries and needs to be forced to do it. It is a rare hero who can reach the very heart of the Zone onto find out what danger awaits him there.
A danger which, compared to marauders and enemy groupings, all monsters and anomalies, will seem a mere preparation to the meeting with something more fatal and threatening.
But for now - get ready, hero. Collect artefacts and trade, grope your path and keep an eye on the rear, catch roentgens and fight - only make sure you survive! And then, perhaps, if you are persistent and truly lucky, you will find out why all this had fallen on you.

What works
Install / Download via Steam. Single player, intro movie. Game runs by default on static lighting and does that great.
What does not
Starting own server throws you back eventually to main menu.
Workarounds
What was not tested
Multiplayer - Steam version is 1.05 and servers are 1.06 and don't allow me to play.

Additional Comments
My spec AMD64 2x 4400+ , 2GB RAM, GF 9600GT 512MB and game runs smoothly on extreme settings. I have installed directx9 via winetricks but not for STALKER so it possibly don't need it. Other wise nothing else added, no regedit tricks.

Setup a 32-bit or 64-bit Wineprefix.
Although a 32-bit Wineprefix is generally recommended for maximum compatibility, a 64-bit Wineprefix might be beneficial in certain, restricted circumstances.
E.g. to support the transfer of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: SOC saved games between a native 64-bit Windows install of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: SOC and your Wine Wineprefix (see Saved Games note below).
32-bit Wineprefix:
1 > export WINEPREFIX="❚❚❚❚❚❚"
> export WINEARCH=win32
> winecfg
2 > export WINEPREFIX="❚❚❚❚❚❚"
> export WINEARCH=win64
> winecfg
> cd "${WINEPREFIX}/dosdevices"
> ls -hl

The default Unix install location (change as required).
32-bit Wineprefix:
"${WINEPREFIX}/drive_c/Program Files/GSC Game World/S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl"
64-bit Wineprefix:
"${WINEPREFIX}/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/GSC Game World/S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl"
1 Specify full path; folder should not be created first!!
2 Specify full path; folder may pre-exist and will be created if it does not.
3 The virtual Windows drive letter assigned to your optical drive mount path may vary from system to system.
4 If you exit from MS DirectX 9.0c installer or it crashes then it is necessary to override the 2 specified DirectX extension dll libraries - the easiest way to do this is using the winetricks script.
Obtain patches to update your S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: SOC install from...
The most up-to-date patch version listed at the (first) official Stalker Game link is 1.0005. A full set of patches for the game are available at the (second) ModDB link.
Version 1.0006 (an unofficial update) is required to access multiplayer servers on the Internet. It is highly recommended to use version 1.0005 for single player gameplay (version 1.0006 was recalled, by GSC, due to some stability issues). Note: some older mods may require version 1.0004.
Ensure the WINEPREFIX path variable is set in the terminal env - before running the patch executable. You must have native Linux execute access on the mountpoint & path. E.g.:
> export WINEPREFIX="❚❚❚❚❚❚"
> wine ~/Downloads/stk-sck-efigspc-patch-5-6.exe
Initially it is important to upgrade S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: SOC to version 1.0006.
Selecting Multiplayer, from the main menu, should show a list of servers. When you attempt to connect to them you should see a popup dialog box:
| Connection error: Invalid Host |
See bug 4066. Wine currently does not implement the required DirectPlay functionality (some groundwork was laid down in a GSOC 2008 Wine project).
A workaround is to use the native (Windows) DirectPlay dll's (dynamic link libraries) for:
> export WINEPREFIX="❚❚❚❚❚❚"
> winetricks directplay
Executing this command (within your S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: SOC Wineprefix) should allow extended online Gameplay (without any apparent issues).
press: ¬ key to access in-game, drop-down console
| rs_stats 1 | Enable in-game overlay (display FPS, frame draw times, memory usage,etc.) - statistics for the geek in you! |
The path for your Saved Games is set by the main S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: SOC configuration file. To find this file in your main S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: SOC install folder:
find "${WINEPREFIX}" -type f -name "fsgame.ltx"
"${WINEPREFIX}/drive_c/users/Public/Documents/STALKER-SHOC/savedgames"
The usual caveats apply to transferring Saved Games... The main S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: SOC version, and any installed mod version, should be matched between your Windows install and your S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: SOC Wineprefix.

That's expected because you installed the game in 64-bit WINEPREFIX (known bug 30901).
Install the game in 32-bit prefix and Securom works fine.
64-bit prefix is useless anyway because the game is 32-bit.

I typically use the Steam version - but I thought I should try to post a more up-to-date test here as well (since I own the DVD version). I'll re-test when I get a chance and update the test.

cd /path/to/gamedata
find -type f -name "Thumbs.db" -exec rm -i {} \;
This command will go through the entire gamedata folder and remove all instances of Thumbs.db, it will ask you for confirmation before deleting each file, just in case. If you don't want to bother with confirmation, remove the -i flag after rm.
Alexander Borysov posted a similar solution in the Call of Pripyat thread for MISERY 2.0 mod. He did not include a bash command to automate the process though.

Have you installed the 32-bit version of the Nvidia driver (for your "unspecified" distro)... Guessing here that you are using the 64-bit version of that (as yet "unspecified" distro). I also presume you are using the Nvidia "blob"/ proprietary driver (pretty essential for gaming under Wine).
Bob
by anlerch on Friday February 15th 2013, 2:37
Now, I testet every nvidia driver in the list, but the proprietary driver doesnot work. When i change to the nouveau display driver (open source), then I can install the game, and it seems to work. But with this driver, I cannot specify the correct resolution of my monitor...

Why not post your full launch command and also the full console output (with a link @Pastebin) over in the WineHQ forums. A well written query will get answered there (by a Wine developer) in a matter of hours. Also if you are compiling from source (Gentoo - right?) then perhaps you might want to list if you have used any custom compile switches.
You will only feel the tumbleweed posting here :-)

I presume you've had your retail copy of the game working before? With a crack? If so did you use the same compile-time switches and what version of Wine?
Also (obviously) you've got to watch out for architectural changes in Wine if you are stripping stuff out, etc...
Clutching at straws a bit here...

Like I said I've got S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: SOC running on my Radeon HD4650M card with just the radeon FOSS kernel driver (including full-dynamic lighting - although it's very slow at these settings). Ironically the FOSS driver has less graphical glitching than the ATI Catalyst 11.12 driver :-)
Perhaps there is a problem with the particular "crack" you are using for the game. Like I said - it's not required with the Steam version so I don't know how well a patched S.T.A.L.K.E.R. will run under WINE...
Anyway it's definately a game that is well supported, by newer versions of WINE. It's just a question of pinning down where you've gone wrong. Like I said the developers are very responsive on the forums and it's not hard to register a new account.

I am not seeing this problem. I can run the game on my ARCH-Linux installs with the stock repository Wine 1.3.37. Both with an ATI 4650M (radeon kernel driver) on my laptop and on my desktop rig with an 8800 GTX (Nvidia 290.xx driver). Both graphics drivers support the "OffScreen" rendering fix for dynamic lighting. Bit of a slide show with the FOSS radeon driver - not surprisingly!!
A few more details of your setup might get you some more help? Distro (if Linux)? GPU? Driver version? Etc.
Have you verified the installed game data is not corrupted (the Steam client has an option to test this or perhaps a clean reinstall in a new WINEPREFIX). I had this problem moving a large (Steam games) Wineprefix between my machines...

I tried dynamic lighting w/ 'maximum' graphics, and only noticed a slowdown of about 10-15 fps (still completely fluid and playable). Still confirming the
"Dynamic lighting has "smeared" skies bug where sky box is not cleared"
bug, though. I've also noticed that some text in menus is out of place, which I believe might be a bug that's not related to wine. As said, haven't patched the game yet. I also had to change workspace to get the game running fullscreen properly.

has anybody got this "lcp internal error 3" with STALKER? I've tried to search infos on Google, but with no success...
With the German DVD retail version + patch 1.0005 it worked almost perfectly (with -dsound still needed in Wine 1.1.38, Static Lightning and disabled GLSL) but out of a sudden it begins to stutter and one can see this error repeating over and over in the console.
Then you have to kill it and start over and it was again OK for a while!
This was the only real trouble (but a very annoying one), otherwise it works even greater than on Windows XP (even with this problem, I've managed to finish it with Wine =:)

Have installed SoC with fourth patch. Before it installed Wine 1.1.39 repository from openSuSE official website. Other non-3d programs
working well with Wine - for example, QiP 2005 icq messenger.
Also, I have installed DirectX9.0c (feb 2010) and adopted its
libraries in Wine software registry branch, and 3 dll simply
copied to ~/.wine/drive_c/.../system32/
Whats the problem... I just execute the installer, run Stalker
using shortcut with such parametrs: wine /home/%username%/S.T.A.L.K.E.R/bin/XR_3DA.exe -dsound -nodistort -dx80
and... having black screen with music and animated stalker-
style cursor on it.
What happen - I have no idea. Sm tells its a kind of
conflict with compiz app. I tried to turn it off -
nothing happens. Also, I tried to launch both window
and full-screen mode.
So, what can it be
1. Stalker on Wine does not support my hardware?
2. Conflict with my DirectX configuration?
3. Conflict with compiz visualisation tool?
3. Other.
by Vlad on Friday March 12th 2010, 3:07
ONLY with mainmenu. I tried to open some menu. Well, the
multi-player menu is opening, the load game menu also, new

So, only the problem is black maimenu.

If you want to play any game made in the past 5 years you'll have to get ATI or better yet nVidia card.

showin in-game screenshots. The problem
is with menu, not with 3d/sound.
Just read it again.
P.S. Speaking generally I also started
it a week ago in such configuration
on Seven. So if its supported on
Windows, it also runs on Linux.
P.P.S. Unfortunately, I cant change it -
my _laptop_ motherboard dont allow do this.

I've installed SoC with both 1.1.25 (CXZ black diamond) and 1.1.37 (Wineskin RC7) and in both installs everything works near flawlessly except the annoyance of the black and white gameplay...Does anyone know of any easy fixes....or complicated one too I suppose, I've got to learn sometime right?
I did nothing other than install the game into the wrapper...It installs with a blank wrapper (the way I got) and I've also tried a number of different add ons such as d3dx9, vcred $ vcrun, physX, and dot net.....nothing will get rid of the problem...I'd love to play this game but I refuse to play it in black and white.
If a log file or terminal output is required, please let me know and I'll post it.

I recently bought STALKER: SoC via Steam and it didn't work. An invisible "window" popped up (mouse disappeared when it entered it and the image of what was there remained when you moved another window across it) and no debug/log was produced. I had to kill the process because I couldn't access the "window" to close it down. I tried a patch, had a debug log but didn't solve the problem. I also tried deleting and reinstalling, didn't work.
What worked for me was a post from Jadon on Thursday August 7th 2008, 15:18. Entitled, "My Install" (Thanks) So all credits goes to him and that post.
With some differences:
Right click STALKER in steam> Properties> Set launch options> and added: -dsound -nodistort -nointro
I couldn't import the registry key so I had to do it manually:
(make sure you export the key before making changes or write it down)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D]
DirectDrawRenderer = opengl
OffscreenRenderingMode = backbuffer
PixelShaderMode = enabled
UseGLSL = disabled
VertexShaderMode = hardware
VideoMemorySize = 256
I had to add item DirectDrawRenderer manually.
Thanks again, enjoy.

Basically, it's stuck in the lower right corner. It's almost as if the lower right portion of the screen is a scaled version of my entire screen. Fanagling around a bit allows me to get into the game, and left/right rotation stops when my real mouse hits the edges of the screen, so I can't turn around to leave the starting area.

Running wine v1.1.33
by David on Friday August 28th 2009, 9:03
Other than the problems mentioned below, the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. seems to work, except for one game-killing graphics glitch, where masses of blue, yellow and black polygons seem to spew out from the horizon, from each of four compass points (I've submitted a screenshot with the caption 'Graphics Glitch'). They don't appear if I look straight up or straight down, and they're less prevalent in indoors parts of the map (like the trader's lair at the start).
The problem gets worse with higher graphics settings, but nothing I've tried turns it off entirely, other than switching off the vertex/pixel shaders, which makes the game look, um, strange.
Faffing around with the user.ltx file, with all the likely command line options found by grepping the xrRenderfoo.dll files, with all the usual wine registry settings, or with the in-game graphics settings do nothing to fix it.
Any ideas or suggestions, anyone?

Maybe this will come handy to somebody. I was getting errors like this when trying to start a game or change some parameters:
rive_c/Program Files/GSC World Publishing/S.T.A.L.K.E.R/bin/XR_3DA.exe: glx_texture_compression.c:57: __indirect_glGetCompressedTexImageARB: Assertion `image_bytes unable to dispatch exception.
The solution was to install "nvidia-glx-ia32" package. (I'm using amd64 architecture and i have Nvidia video).

First I want to say that I am amazed at what Wine can do. My last hurdle in Linux was games. I wanted to expand on the instructions that the OP gave. I run Kubuntu 8.04 on a Compaq Presario SR2150NX also called an unbranded HP TS-XN0512RS with an Nvidia 8600 GT. I am using the digital download of Stalker from Direct2Drive. Wine 1.0.0
step by step of how I got stalker running, thanks to the guys here:
-installed Stalker using wine, just had to double click the .exe
-installed the latest Stalker patch
-found the shortcut on my desktop, right clicked the shortcut to edit it, clicked the Application tab, added the following at the end of the Command -dsound -nodistort -nointro
example:
env WINEPREFIX="/home/comp222/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\THQ\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl\bin\XR_3DA.exe" -dsound -nodistort -nointro
-I then created a text file in gedit/text editor and named it stalker.reg
-I copy/pasted the following line into stalker.reg, this should all be 1 line
REGEDIT4 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D] "DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl" "OffscreenRenderingMode"="backbuffer" "PixelShaderMode"="enabled" "UseGLSL"="disabled" "VertexShaderMode"="hardware" "VideoMemorySize"="256"
-Save the file
-I then opened the command line or terminal and typed regedit
-Press Enter
-Click Registry
-I then chose the Export option to make a backup of my current registry
-I then clicked Import and selected the stalker.reg and clicked Open
-Closed the registry
In addition, I also changed my sound settings to ALSA in KDE System Settings/Sound System though I don't know if that was needed.
-I then opened the command line or terminal and typed winecfg
-Press Enter
-Click Audio
-Changed Hardware Acceleration to Emulation, I don't know if Driver Emulation needs to be checked also
-I then started Stalker using the Shortcut on my desktop that I edited previously
-In Stalker I changed my resolution to 1680x1050 to match my widescreen display/desktop resolution
-As someone mentioned in this thread, Scroll Lock pauses/unpauses
Thanks for helping guys.

very nice guide, thanks for the effort. However, the regedit part doesn't work for me. I did not get anything imported, so I created the options manually in regedit. Otherwise, all worked well after that.
Cheers,

The divison by zero problem in the installer looks like a directdraw one (not a sound problem as in the main game). Upgrading to 1.1.28 fixed it for me, but I'd guess that trying to install with a different opengl-capable graphics driver might also help.
by FeepingCreature on Thursday July 24th 2008, 17:16
I basically get the normal game world, but without _any_ light sources. Everything is black.
Plus, if I enable distortions, the screen is a gray smudge unless I look almost straight up. In which case it goes back to "black shapes before gray background".
nVidia drivers are up to date, GLSL and FBO is enabled, and I tried resetting the user.ltx, and am now quite simply out of ideas.
Oh, and no DLLs are overridden.
Console messages include the usual shaders being recompiled hundreds of times ("because vertex shaders are in use"), as well as (WINED3DRS_COLORWRITEENABLE1/2/3,0,0,0) not yet implemented.
Wine version is 1.1.1.
Help.

'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Direct3D\OffscreenRenderingMode' to 'fbo'.
Made sure I was set to ALSA, and started the game with
env WINEPREFIX="/home/na/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\THQ\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl\bin\XR_3DA.exe" -nointro -nodistort -dsound
I get sound at the menu screen but nothing in the game. The graphics look fast and fine but *any* keypress pauses the game. Scroll Lock will unpause it. When I check the keyboard settings, they look ok but every entry is prepended with a 'k'
Forward kW
Back kS
Right kD
Left kA
If I try to change these values, they're shown in the same format. Also, though it says the pause button is Pause, when I try to reset it, it says my pause button is actually num lock.
I'm running kubuntu 8.04 with a nvidia 9600GT with wine 1.1.1
by vitamin on Sunday July 13th 2008, 1:26
Yup been in Wine for a long time. I'm guessing Wine this is from incorrect initialization of the initial keyboard state. And looks like the pause button might not be mapped correctly too.
> When I check the keyboard settings, they look ok but every entry is prepended with a 'k'
>
> Forward kW
Yup same here but only when it display it. So the actual key mappings are fine.

As for registering the bug, to tell the truth, I didn't check bugzilla before making my post because I hoped it was just a stupid error or misconfiguration on my part. Checking now, it looks like there's nothing specific related to stalker and keyboard keys though it could be related to one of these:

Following strange thing occurs:
-> I'm using kde4
-> esound (esd) disabled
-> starting stalker with -dsound option
-> First movie plays sound
-> 2nd movie plays no sound
-> no sound in the menu
-> adding -nointro
-> sound in the menu
-> when starting a new game, the sound seems to "lock up", not continueing playing / starting to loop the past 1-2 secs
-> I'm getting the following error (after the sound locked up):
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x1ad3f60 "?" wait timed out in thread 001b, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec)
err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x1ad3f60 "?" wait timed out in thread 001b, blocked by 0009, retrying (60 sec)
Seems as if my output device got blocked - allthough, it's playing the OLD sound (of the menu) and blocks the device with this.
After the error, the menu sound stops.
No other sounds played in the meanwhile.

Game doesn't run. In clean Wine profile I installed Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable (msvcr80 etc.), copied and overloaded winsta.dll, wtsapi32.dll, d3dx9_xx.dll (xx being from 24, to 36),faultrep.dll,gdiplus.dll. All it just do is show XRay Engine Bug and freezes. I run game with -dsound, -nodistort parameters.
In my fsgame.ltx I've changed only this line, everything else is default:
$app_data_root$ = true| false| AppData
(I would post complete file, if I had permissions :))
Every more complicated D3D game just won't run (C&C3 Tiberium Wars, Kane's Wrath, they show just splash screen and crash). I'm using Kubuntu 7.10 64-bit (if kernel version needed I would post it on demand), fglrx 8.3 manually installed, using X-Fi (Creative Beta driver 1.18), Sapphire HD2600Pro.
Maybe it's because I've installed my Kubuntu on AMD64 3000+ (single core), and now using under Core 2 Duo E6550 (dual core).
Can now anybody help? Thanks!

Once I get in the game, clicking around randomly it works fine. Also, the menu screen will randomly work sometimes. Mostly though it's just completely white.
During this "anomaly" wine spits out a constant stream of:
fixme:d3d_draw:drawStridedSlow >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION_EXT (0x506) from glEnd and previous calls @ drawprim.c / 570

Ran the game with option "-r4xx" which forces dx8 mode but it made no difference. Also, figured it may be caused by a rendering "feature" of my Quadro card so I turned them all off in xorg.conf after consulting the Nvidia driver readme. No difference.
What does that error mean? How does it relate to my system and wine? Thats what I'd like to know. I mean this isn't a big deal. I can put up with the broken object lighting. But if I could fix it I would.

I`m sorry for my poor english. The game that i`m trying to run is installable from original CD (licensed), but i use NoCD XR_3DA.exe to run in wine.
It`s one thing i have to talk too.. Game files has his one settings that i use too:
First: i`m using renderer_r1 in game - to choose it just open by "~" (tilda) the game console window and write: renderer renderer_r1
Second: Screen depth is floating by game menu selection and works fine too. Another settings is - static lights.
Third: i`m not using ANY recomendations from another guy`s to run this game and i`m not using any miscelanueus settings of wine (fbo). it works fine on my distro without any specific settings and play`s movies and sounds PERFECTLY.

Bad solution (maybe it is not allowed to talk of this here, sorry): Install the game with cedega, or cedega cvs, then install all patch you want, it works, then after crack the game and launch it with wine because Cedega don't work at all with stalker to play.
by vitamin on Thursday August 30th 2007, 15:24
I did every single patch and all worked great! If you look closer at the screen shots of the menu, you will see the version number.
In fact game and all patches were installed on Wine and not a single thing was copied from windows.
You probably trying to run patch from the ntfs partition - that does not work. You have to copy the patch to Linux. Then run it there.

I deleted the game and reinstalled it.
Like before:
1) I download wine last source
2) i export WINEPREFIX to the install dir i choose (/STALKERSPECIALDIR)
Doing like this i create a profile for each game manually
3) I launch wineprefixcreate by ./myprefixdir/bin/wineprefixcreate
4) I launch winecfg by ./myprefixdir/bin/winecfg
I select oss (or alsa whick work too in reality).
5) i patch the registry with stalker specific change (fbo for play or no fbo for change resolution, videomemory, etc...)
Then there is the problem, same since the beginning:
6) with WINEPREFIX always set, i launch ./myprefixdir/bin/wine s.t.a.l.k.e.r.patch.1.0.0.1.exe
Answer: Access violation...
or 6) without WINEPREFIX , i launch ./myprefixdir/bin/wine s.t.a.l.k.e.r.patch.1.0.0.1.exe
Answer: the patch launch and works normally (of course after this he say he don't find the game because not installed with general but specific wine config)
I really don't understand the difference between the two version of wine, binary of fedora 7 (.43) and source (i tried .43 and .42 .44),
Please help me a new time, lol can't patch anymore to create my game specific wine conf.

But you can't change your screen resolution after you set "OffscreenRenderingMode" to "fbo". If you do, the nthe game print black screen and that's all with just the mouse cursor very slow, then kill -9 etc... and you see : "fixme:d3d_draw:drawStridedSlow >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> GL_INVALID_FRAMEBUFFER_OPERATION_EXT (0x506) from glEnd and previous calls @ drawprim.c / 604 fixme:d3d:check_fbo_status FBO status GL_FRAMEBUFFER_INCOMPLETE_DIMENSIONS_EXT (0x8cd9)" many times.
I tried to disabled all other things (GLSL, Vertex, pixel shader, oss to alsa etc...) and just fbo create this problem.
PS: sorry for my english
by Daniel Vasarhelyi on Tuesday January 1st 2008, 6:48
Once I've managed to change it (the game offered some other resolutions other than 1024x768), but whatever I change in the registry or winecfg, i can no longer get other resolutions.

The gun in the picture above was the default pistol. I had loaded a game save that I had gotten from Windows.
If you start a new game then the pistol is visible, but if you kill a fellow stalker and steal his gun then you will see that it's invisible. This makes it hard to play because to shoot accurately you need to use your iron sights, and I also prefer to disable the crosshair on games that let you use iron sights.

for example in the beginning down at the start guy it runs really great, then going up the tunnel it slows way down to maybe 3 fps, outside when i look at the start camp it is also slow, looking away from the houses it goes up to 30 fps or more, looking there again its at 3 fps again :(.
In non dx9 mode it runs fine, but there are a lot of objects/models that are getting false textures applied to them so they look to bright or to dark, also those textures change constantly when I move, standing still they stay as they are. This did not happen in dx9 mode.

I had the same performance problems in Microsoft system to, I started the game with this command line and it works flawlessly. I haven't tried to run the game in WINE though.

It doesn't make the game unplayable though, it runs very well, plain vanilla installation too (with directX).
