Anomaly 1.5.1 to 1.5.2 Update (Patch)  

Anomaly is a stand-alone mod. Install this 1.5.2 update on top of a clean Anomaly 1.5.1 installation. Do NOT install version 1.5.1 or update 1.5.2 on top of older versions of the mod or any of the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. And do NOT use older addons that have not been updated to be 1.5.2 compatible or you will encounter crashes.

Mini FAQ

Q: Is this the next big update for Anomaly that we've been waiting for?
A: No, this is a collection of smaller bug fixes and improvements for the current version (1.5.1) of Anomaly. It's more of a maintenance update to make the current release more stable.

Q: What has changed in the 1.5.2 update since we released version 1.5.1?
A: A change log is included in the update as a text file, it contains all changes and a list of files that were modified. Any addons that change files from that list will be incompatible until they are updated.

Q: Will my addons or mod packs for 1.5.1 still work?
A: That depends. Many addons will probably still work, but some of them need to be updated to be compatible with changes in the 1.5.2 config files and scripts. It's safe to assume any 1.5.1 addon that has not been updated or tested to be 1.5.2 compatible by their author can cause issues or crashes.

Q: So when is the next big Anomaly update coming?
A: We're still working on the 1.6 update. A lot of progress has been made but there is also so much work still left to do. For now let's say it'll release when it's done and we will share more details when we get closer to that point.
