"Hey I am back and have made a breakthrough!

This morning I was looking up updates for 1.4006 and have sucessfully found an update that effectively fixes the secret victory ending!

This download (1.89gb) is Extended pack LostAlpha DC1.4b, an update to a popular mod on moddb stalker lost alpha website. This update takes you from 1.4a to 1.4b- at least until 1.4007 comes out I've heard on April 26th. It has to my knowledge updated the game build to 6969. -https://cloud.mail.ru/public/4oKy/F8hCcZ3e2

This is the site (below) I got all my info from. I've installed the update successfully as of 4/3/18 and the ending processes just fine. -https://vk.com/lost_alpha"


 * The official release is v1.4005.
 * No one except you has referred to "v1.4006".
 * We document the game as released.
 * We do not document addons or modpacks for the releases.
 * The general level of interest (HERE; on GSC forums; and even on ModDB - the OFFICIAL RELEASE SITE) has dropped to a trickle, or is just non-existent.
 * "April the 26th" you say... imagine what a surprise that date is to EVERYONE here in the zone.
 * Additionally:


 * No "Extended Pack" version is available to the general playing public higher than v1.3 (they're mighty silent too)
 * The "Extended Pack" versions mix addon paint jobs with supposedly tested revisions that are intended to be included in main releases. Clearly, nothing could possibly go wrong with this strategy.
 * There is NO possibility of verifying ANYTHING contained, derived, implied or otherwise bought to the game via the EP BECAUSE:
 * 1) There is NO separation between the EP and released developmental sections.
 * 2) This is fundamental. The development cycle is flawed.
 * 3) To extend this further (v1.4007...) becomes flawed for similar reasons.
 * 4) Expecting that a Russian site has the drop on future releases of the game rests on several shaky premises:
 * The author is Hungarian. Why does he see fit to outsource his brainchild and lifework?


 * 1) Many across the interwebs are asking (or have just given up asking..) Why DC anyway? When LA was showing such promise?
 * 2) Why is the game being dragged in the direction of CoP, CoSh, Misery Mod, Stalker Complete and other fringe Mods?


 * Have very much fun with your game. I am overjoyed that you got it to work. It shows passion for the game!
