Playing with russian voiceover is always a more immersive option for playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Off course, I would like to retain text in a comprehensible (for me) language.

However, I've spent too much time to try to find HOW to do that (by default on Steam you can only select a language and play the game with that language on both audio and text) and every tutorial require to launch some .exe or .bat and it's too annoying for my tastes.

Especially when I'm on Steam Deck/Linux, where launching "windows executables" is quite annoying.

(If you are from Steam Deck, launch "Desktop Mode". We are doing everything from there!)


From the list of games, select "Stalker Clear Sky -> Properties -> General -> Language", select the text language you want to play with.


I've uploaded it on several places, just choose your preferred one (if links are unavailable, leave a message and I will re-upload them!):

• Internet Archive[archive.org]

Open the archive: inside it there's a folder called "audio".

Inside "audio", you fill find a folder called "gamedata"

Extract "gamedata" into the game root folder


Into the root game folder, you will find a file called "fsgame.ltx"

Open it with a text editor, and find this line:


change the first "false" to "true"


Save the file, and close everything


Start the game! Everything is in your language, but voiceover is in russian!
