Next you need to run setup.exe and instead of the installation folder C:\Program Files(X86) to install the game, for example, in C:\Games or better for any non-system partition, e.g. D.
During the installation of the game do not give up additional software and codecs!
If you have already install the game in Program Files then save will not work because Windows blocks file modifications popes in Program Files.
If you have already installed Lost Alpha, you can cut and paste the game folder to any convenient place, except for the ill-fated folders Program Files and Program Files (X86).

code to the safe Petrenko 123
code to many computers top_secret
code to the safe Hog in the Dark Valley 295
code from the entrance to X-18 5271 code to the computer 9231
code to the safe in the location Rostock,in the building with chemicals 437 where we use a gas mask,a safety Deposit box is in a small room,climb off the roof.
box code on the radar 218 quest gives a Nomad at the same location.
a door code in the dungeon of Pripyat 4134
code from the entrance to the sarcophagus 4237
The codes to the safes dial so,see the screenshot,the first digit to press the edge of the wheel,the second digit press the center (in this case, you should hear a click,if not then press Reset and new) third figure again, the edge of the wheel.
The location of amber can be found two a great costume,this is the first Army body armor,near the right of the transition, in Dead city there's a concrete bunker and a lot of anomalies,he lies in a wooden rack,on the top shelf,there is still army kit.
And the second suit is a SEVA,get for to quest Storm for PS,stock up on ammo,it is better to take a shotgun as there will be just a bunch of bloodsuckers,in these tunnels is a coil of wire which is needed scientists for the main quest.
Well, simple advice,do not accumulate too much money until you have a Dead city,well, and waste everything that you have before you go there,there they were still taken away.
A very simple way to earn money,however it is almost the end of the game,I like it already more than a million,so to me money is not particularly needed.
Advise to collect from the beginning of the part we (not sell them) then when you will have the opportunity to take a job from Didi (Cement plant) just for the extraction part when we surrender the quest you will receive one antivirus that is quite expensive,so not a cunning way, you can easily raise a lot of money,this quest is repeatable,and in order to take it again,just save and load the game,and the quest will appear again.
By the way who does not know that the scientist give up three boxes of parts,I damn them almost the entire game held,didn't know where to put them,only the weight in the inventory were taken away.

LA Changes by Chriotmao
The Guiders Mod
Game version: 1.3001 (aka 1.30013)
Version: 1.0 d
Description: this Mod adds some NPC the ability to help the protagonist to move between locations, in short - makes them conductors. What is missing in my opinion Lost Alpha. Transitions to locations displayed on the plot. If you found the guide (spoke to him), then on the minimap he will now be marked in blue.
Notes:
The conductors only on those locations where you can go, and number them no more than two.
The guide can be killed (e.g. in a landfill, if you fail the mission with the sweep of the hangar from bandits).
Compatibility: Not tested, but should be compatible with everything except for different russifiers - mod to put on top of the crack, otherwise you may lose the guides.
The new game is not required!
Fixes transparent transmission - Dump and a Plant sprout.

At Chernobyl well go through all the bodies of the monolith,many very good arts without negative properties.
Full atas of course,during the assault on the military,almost all monolith with RPGs,only the top stuck and already dead.

IMHO, it should be added,... at least only two got... repairmen... not semitsa on the bar to Petrenko and especially to the Fox in Cordon...
Single - Father Diodor (on Amber... goes across the lock)... and the second soldier-member considers in Loka, on the ground floor, where we swing by the gas was...

do not accumulate too much money until you have a Dead city,well, and waste everything that you have before you go there,there they were still taken away
Junk as in ERS to stash before it was tried?
Among the farm fields
You understood that wrote? In the Dead city stuff does not disappear, but lost part of the money ( although by the time they are practically not needed).
Guys! All the problems can only be from a build of the game, because the official version was not. The first time I did not find a normal Repack, but then I downloaded the Torrent S. T. A. L. K. E. R.: Shadow of Chernobyl - Lost Alpha [2014, EN/EN, Repack] by SeregA-Lus in the game and had no problems.
Spoiler
