This is the third attempt to finish StalkerSoup - First Narodnaya Solyanka - Second StalkerSoup 2016 - Now the Last Download from Technobeacon (1.1 Rev 19 Micro patch 1)
Nerver been able to finish the Game.
Actually I'm fighting with the fact that I don't have any emission during the game except those that are scripted. So there is no new artifacts and some quests are really difficult to finish because of no artifact respawn.
There are currently few (if any?) random emissions in StalkerSoup. I think TecnoBacon said some time ago that this was a deliberate decision because of memory issues with the game’s 32-bit engine. Hopefully random emissions will return when the game is moved to a 64-bit engine.
Despite the lack of emissions, artefacts may respawn after a time (or new ones appear, I’m not sure which…). Fortunately most artefacts can be “cooked” in anomalies if you know the recipe – and artefact recipes are learned from NPCs or from documents found as you progress through the game. You can cook all of the artefacts that you will need during the game - either to use yourself or required for tasks - once you know the recipe.
Finding 'wild' anomalies to use for your cooking can be a chore, so I recommend buying Artefact Capsules from Adrenalin and some other traders. You can use these to create your own anomalies in a convenient place. There are seven capsules in all, and I like to set them up in a line somewhere close to my main stash (but away from NPCs!).
Manually dropping recipe items into an anomaly is tricky, but once you have Kuznetsov’s Transmutator device artefact cooking becomes easy. You just open the Transmutator in front of an anomaly and it will tell you the recipes that you know for that anomaly and even how long they will take to cook – which can be anything from five minutes to several hours. Then, if you have the required ingredients, it will begin the cooking process for you.
Please note that a new patch is expected fairly soon, and Aleks has warned us that this will require a new game.
Ok for the few random emissions but I'm at the 13th day of game time but no random Anomaly yet and no artefact respan. Maps I already visit are really empty from either artifacts or npc.
I got a new symptum yesterday, sudently the npc counter under the minimap stop counting npc and i don't get any spot in the Minimap. Hopefully, I have the BIORadar so I can 'see' ncp or opponents but it look strange.

Missing info on the minimap has been reported before, but I can't remember if anyone found a fix. If someone knows more about this issue, please let us know.
In the meantime, I can only suggest reloading an earlier game where the minimap was acting correctly, and playing on from there. If the same thing happens again, make a note of where you were and what you were doing when it stopped working.

Here's one fix pulled from the forum that works for me, if the HUD, minimap, or crosshair doesn't display, or stops identifying NPCs
Go into the console (default ~), type ‘hud_info on’ then ENTER --- PapyStalker, it would be good to know what OS you're using, and if you used the Installation Help Guide to install your game
Because StalkerSoup is based on tech from a decade ago, it can have problems with modern systems; and the Guide explains how to resolve them in the installation process
But as pchester suggests, unless you're happy to continue with your game until the new patch comes out and starting again, it'd be best to wait until then - because the new patch will necessitate a new start to get the best out of it
It's been over a year in development, it'll have a load of known bugs resolved, it'll make a lot more sense, it'll be a lot more immersive, and it'll be out soon
The Installation Guide is here [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
I'm using Either Windows 10 or Windows Server 2019 to play StalkerSoup depending what OS I'd booted and what I need to do with my computer. I am an IT Freelance and have some Powershell Scripts to develop for my customers.
I followed the Installation Guide provided and up to now no bugs except No Random Emission and the NPC Counter that stop working.
I love this StalkerSoup and I would like to be able to finish it this time.
BTW I have friend (FRench) that play Stalker but does not read English so he cannot play StalkerSoup
I Did not find any FR Translations or the Game. So I have a lot of free time (Due to Coronavirus Pandemy) these coming month so If Game Developers can provide the Files to be translated, I will translate it to French. (And of course I will have something to do) ...

Thank you for your extremely kind offer, PapyStalker. I'll contact you privately
