Zalesye, veteran difficulty, no cheats. For those who will be playing without deaths (assembled SVDM-2 and Valenka assault rifle). I'm explaining this so you don't have to watch the intro video and opening cutscenes! I suffered through it myself.

Installation instructions:

Extract the archive contents to the following path -> (C:\Users\U7/AppData\Local\Stalker2\Saved\STEAM) into the STEAM folder. *My save path is the same, except for the username.*
(You should have a SaveGames folder in the folder.)
Check the contents of the SaveGames folder.
Launch the game.
How do I find AppData? Win + R and search for %appdata%
