Features:

3D PDA

3D PDA

One of the most popular changes in Anomaly 1.5.1 since Beta 3 is the addition of a 3D PDA.

When holding the PDA in the lowered position, stalkers can track their position on the map while walking around. This will make it easier to navigate towards map markers like hidden stashes or mission objectives.

And to interact with the PDA it can be held closer to your eyes so it will fill almost the whole screen and the text on it is more readable. If you prefer the old style 2D PDA we even added an option to switch back to it, but real stalkers would not do that.

Story

Pripyat

"Lost to the Zone" Storylines has been added to 1.5 update, with its three installations:

  • Part 1: Living Legend: a famous stalker has returned to the Zone. Pursue him in order to obtain his invaluable knowledge.
  • Part 2: Mortal Sin: a sinister faction emerges from obscurity to take over the Zone. You are among the few who can stop them.
  • Part 3: Operation Afterglow: the Zone attracts a lot of attention. However, some people believe that its many secrets are best kept hidden.

And the new bonus story:

  • Part 4: Hollow Boundaries: play as a member of a foreign force to investigate and reveal the secrets of the Zone.

Additionally, you're free to assist your faction and complete their questlines.
The majority of quests will offer info about your targets before accepting, in addition to new types of quests to keep the player busy.
Every stage of the storylines will unlock a bonus faction for the player. A new set of achievements have been added to game as well.

Atmosphere

Atmosphere

Every single level has been reworked to help convey the feeling of an overgrown, relatively undisturbed Zone. The weather system is improved and expanded to offer variety and atmospheric feel.

Shaders and visual effects have received major improvements, such as the new gasmask with nice refractions, cracks react to light and raindrops. In addition to better tone mapping, water reflections, new wet surface shaders and more.

A-Life

Detector

The A-Life received major changes. For a start, stalkers travel more frequently and report their activity in the other parts of the Zone.

The Zone is constantly changing, so are the anomalies and mutants. Dynamic world items are everywhere around you, even in places you might not expect. Each playthrough will carry something different for you to look for. Explore the Zone, and you might find something nice during your journey.

Special characters and common stalkers offer more unique tasks, along with expanded dialogue. Stalkers can sell and buy items from traders, or even visit local mechanics to upgrade their favorite weapons. In addition: Loners, Mercs and a few others can offer escort services for a fee. Many special characters also have connections around the Zone: you can offer them a payment to bribe an enemy faction, temporarily preventing them from attacking on sight.

The disguise system has improved. Your equipment and behavior affects the way stalkers observe and remember you. And a new experimental feature will make stealth kills more viable to kill enemies sneakily.
Your rank and reputation counts. Exceptionally high or low values respectively will attract attention, possibly even from your enemies...

For some weird reason my crappy laptop can now run this mod on 45-60FPS. Before I can't barely pass 10FPS, but the only issue I have now is minor hiccups which happens more or less 3 times in a single minute. Is there any way to fix it?

My laptop specs:
Intel Core i5 gen5
2.2ghz
4GB RAM
Intel HD Graphics 5500

Better than most if not ALL AAA games. Puts most of the industry in the rear view mirror when mods are able to transform this into another stratosphere. Seriously one of the most engrossing and atmospheric forms of digital media ever created, PERIOD. Nuff said...That is S.T.A.L.K.E.R..

Hi! On previous version of the game i already unlocked all unlockable factions.
How can i unlock them again without playing the story again?
Anyway is there more to those factions? Because in the previous version the warfare was unplayable and story was pretty... It was very hard.

"isg"

Is there any way you guys could get Stalker Anomaly onto Steam?. Nearly all of the Stalker Titles are listed there for sale. And I could imagine and would bet on Downloads shooting up by the thousands per day if Stalker Anomaly was listed on Steam for free. This amazing All-In-One Stalker experience needs more exposure!.

Is anyone getting missions update while doing nothing? For example, kill mutants, but I just received the mission, after 2 minutes is updated to get my reward. Happened again with another scout mission.

This is because someone or something killed your target already.
