I play without it.

It's a feature that appears automatically when you enter Freeplay. This is how you go through a levelcahnger and get drilled by Bandits.

Other spawns can occur, it's not unknown to return from Countryside(Lost Alpha) (North Hills these days) and get jumped by Chimera trashing your UAZ Jeep and the loot you have there.

Plenty of other annoying s**t can happen too.

Now you know why I deselect it. In the game proper you can have all sorts of crap running around (say) Sakharov's Bunker - where you can't even draw your bloody Knife.

WHY it is possibly pre-selected when you set a game up is a question you need to take to the devs. If you try to "remove it" during a game where you have had it enabled - you may be removing something critical from the game that later causes unforeseen "irregularities".

No idea of any method of safely disableing it if you have it operating.

No idea either if you can safely respawn any Characters that got stiffed because you might have had it enabled. That needs to be taken to the devs too.

(LADC 1.4007 is (imho) actually quite a nice game if you keep it "vanilla" as far as possible - keeping the daft "hardcore" and "unrealistic" options out - and the PRM Modpack can take a hike too...)

I have played 1.4007 about seven times (with dozens of "what if" variations in terms of strategy.

I've blogged it 3-4 times and came to the conclusion that I liked it. But that wasn't always the case. Here are the bloglinks:


 * 1) User blog:Byte Me/DC v1.4005 - The LADC Misery Mod
 * 2) User blog:Byte Me/LADC v1.4006/7 - Chimera or kolbasa?
 * 3) User blog:Byte Me/DC v1.4007 - My favourite Lost Alpha
 * 4) User blog:Byte Me/The Good Stuff - and where to find it (a Veteran's tale)
 * 5) User blog:Byte Me/Exploiting the game

But this gets away from the problem that never existed until 1.4005/6/7 came along - with 1.4002 it was more relaxed and less buggy:

So in answer to your question (eventually) - the basic game is probably your friend. The configurator "auto selections" lose players through unexplained bugfests.

The only SURE way to stop AL mod from breaking your game is to reinstall a version without it.

And start again in Sod's bunker...
