Oedi: theres actually a really easy workaround for this bug. google sent me to a moddb thread where a user called amakker1424637424 posted this:
"I am having issues with the game crashing immediately. I have narrowed it down to the d3d9.dll that is used for any enb. Once I place this file in the bin folder, the game won't start. I get this error message: XR_3DA.exe caused ACCESS_VIOLATION
AA2 will work if I turn off the enb option.
Does anyone have any idea why I can't get the enb to run? I am using the GOG version of the game, not the Steam Version.
Thanks.
Edit: Issue solved. If you have the GOG version of the game, try running the game through the Settings.exe located in the main Stalker SoC folder. Once the window opens up, just click on "Save and Launch". The game should start with the enb enabled. Hope that helps someone!"
yeah, its really that easy!
This is not working for me, and I'm having the exact same issue. Any other advice in that thread?
