Sometime between 20, the area became a war zone again. For this reason, Sakharov hired Lefty and his team to repair the cooling systems and make Yantar safe again (with major assistance from Scar). However, the emitter's cooling systems malfunctioned in September 2011, increasing the output of the device and threatening the entire Yantar sector with its emissions. The area proved to be a good choice, due to its relative calmness and remote location (the zombie infestation notwithstanding). Their bunker was air-dropped into the swamp under heavy protection of the Ukrainian military and they began studying the Zone and its inhabitants. Sometime after the Zone's appearance, the Yantar area was chosen as a prime location for the mobile science lab ran by Professor Sakharov and his Ecologists. This has proven disastrous, as many stalkers, lured by the prospect of scavenging an intact factory, fell prey to the emitter's disastrous influence and turned into zombified stalkers, almost feral creatures extremely aggressive towards anyone not zombified. What is known is that after breakthroughs in X-18, a prototype Kaymanov emitter was set up in the lab, powered by a massive artificially grown brain, with the antenna hidden inside one of the factory buildings.Īfter the Zone was born in 2006, the complex fell into disrepair and was abandoned, but the emitter was still active.
It is not known when the X-16 lab was constructed underneath the factory and it's entirely possible that the factory itself was meant as an elaborate cover for the secret laboratory. The construction crew caused an accident underground and the water drained from the lake, leaving a stinking swamp in its wake. A long time ago it was a large lake, however, its fate was sealed when it was chosen as the perfect location for a factory. Yantar wasn't always a swampy, desolate place. The player can talk with them they buy artifacts and can even send the player on missions.Ī view of the Yantar factory complex today. If the player walks around the swamp and past the zombies, one will end up at the scientists' camp, brought by helicopters for research. Zombified Stalkers and Snorks roam in the marshes, waiting to attack victims. Anyone who dares to go too far goes insane. Great danger awaits any adventurous soul foolish enough to get near it. The place is morbid and sodden with death. However, for me turning off the compatibility mode has fixed it.The legendary lake in the sector of the same name dried up a long time ago, leaving a shallow swamp in its place.

I know this may sound crazy to some, but if I won´t find a fix by the end of next week, I will re-install Windows 8.1 as any of my games have worked JUST FINE.
