  • Wine 2.1 Final version last published 3 days, 15 hours ago
    Automatically downloads and installs S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly Anthology 2.1 Final, including the standalone game and optional modpack, using the official release files hosted on Yandex Disk. Creates an isolated 64-bit Wine prefix and installs Microsoft Visual C++ 2022.
    Requires approximately 180–200 GB of free disk space during installation. The installer downloads the three official release files using Python 3 and the Yandex Disk public API. No external download manager or torrent client is required.

    During the Windows setup wizard, select C:\ANTHOLOGY as the installation destination. The Lutris script creates a 64-bit Wine prefix and installs vcrun2022 to resolve a known Wine concrt140.dll compatibility issue.

    DirectX 11 with DXVK is recommended. To use the modpack, select "Play with modpack" in the Anthology launcher, then launch Anomaly (DX11) or Anomaly (DX11-AVX) through Mod Organizer 2.

    Tested on CachyOS Linux with Proton-CachyOS and an NVIDIA RTX 4070 SUPER. Compatibility with other Wine runners and Linux distributions has not yet been verified.

Anomaly Anthology is a standalone, story-driven S.T.A.L.K.E.R. modification built on the Anomaly 1.5.3 platform, combining eight campaigns from the original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. trilogy and popular community-created story mods.

Players can experience the storylines of Shadow of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat, alongside Spatial Anomaly, Path in the Mist, Valley of Whispers, Forgotten Squad, Death Defying: In the Web of Lies, and Attribute. Each campaign brings its own quests, characters, and locations into an expanded version of the Zone.

The project features reworked environments, additional factions, expanded quests, improved gameplay systems, and an optional modpack offering further enhancements and customization.

Starting with version 2.1, Anomaly Anthology is distributed as a standalone installation and no longer requires a separate copy of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly.

Anomaly Anthology is an unofficial community-created project based on the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. universe.
