Generator (artifact)
---QUOTATION---
I had to, If I remember right, edit crap just to be able to install it in the beginning.. Fun Fun Fun..Just found Generator Arti in forest.. Whoever came up with that shit had Half-Life 2 stuck in their head..Dunno if a permanent spawn or not, but found it a second time on level changer reload, DV to Forest change, up hill to left, along fence to right to first plateau, and keep to right with detector out.
What's the Configurator you speak of?
Yours if you can get it to work...
It was actually in Steam Stalker Forum That I found link to ~Oct 7th? update of launcher that wouldn't crash on ONLINE startup. That updated launcher would not recognize the -developer mode key. Running ' Blah,Blah,Blah,"XR_3DA.exe" -developer mode' works perfectly fine.
So, Whatever ass licker they gave control of the launcher to, That's who to blame for their downfall.
The DC soft shoe shuffle
Nevermind, between Here and ModDB threads, It's the launcher someone stroked their dick over. Using -developer mode on a shortcut to XR_3DA.exe works fine. Latest Launcher ~Early Oct, No workee. Some Jackass at Dezowave is trying to control play style.
OK, my misunderstanding. Glad your GAME launcher works as advertised...
As for the CONfigurator (that worked precisely ONCE for me in late 2018 and probably needs me to do registry surgery to ever see it again) I give you this poor quality nugget:

Where do these "updates" come from anyway?
Great way to piss off your remaining fane..

I thought you and TS were referring to the Configurator which doesn't work at all for me.
The Generator arty serves no known storyline purpose as far as anyone has yet discovered. You get a trip around the lower parts of Forest and it stops after the damn thing is dropped (kicking YOU on to the next jump point so that you have to walk BACK to the last one to pick the thing up again)
Looks like a bloody Gravi in inventory. Been this way for four years. No story. No sidemission. Zip.
Exploiting 1.4007 DC as best as I can. I will NEVER, EVER use a "cheat pack" - a game lives or dies on its gameboard. Best of luck, stalker...

Like..
Instead of fixing plotline holes and moving crap around the board instead, someone just thought it kewl to kneecap the configurator so that no-one is let in at all?
Glad I can't use it.
**update**
In all the time that I have been monitoring ModDb threads - never once have I seen any upload that upgrades the "CONfigurator". If anyone can point me to an addon that my tired old eyes have missed - feel free.
This is a screenie of what my original and useless configurator has for version descriptors:
https://imgur.com/a/UdxxDGn
The company apparently, is "Lost Alpha", because Dez0wave want anonymity??
Various ModDb threads REFER to CONfigurator, but by its 1.0.13 handle rather than its BUILD designation....
Is this just a variation of the "Extended Pack mamba" that followed the hugely successful 1.4005 release? Or is it some secret club of webmonkies?
If it's the latter, I follow both the George Carlin AND Groucho Marx schools of thought regarding clubs.

Changes..
Nope, doesn't work..Copy/pasted -external -noprefetch -nospawncheck -developer mode, And no worky.
I am using a configurator update I found through the steam forums dated around Oct. 7th, I think, that fixed the start-up crashing I had, which I now suspect had to do with starting the previous launcher while online.
---QUOTATION---
Dev mode
I suspect this is what happened to me too.
Started LA last night after month or so away, and launcher crashed, Started re-install, finished it this morn (original saved downloads), still crashing, found link to updated launcher on a Steam conversation. Works now, but Developer mode gone, and the re-install wiped out my tweaked-n-peaked gamedata....Is there some kind of Cum Guzzler newly excepted that is trying to be lord of gameplay?
@DarkMinds
I don't know why but there are two shortcuts to 1.4007 on my desktop.
One has the following appended to the target:
"-external -noprefetch -nospawncheck"
The other has:
" -external -noprefetch -nospawncheck -developer mode"
The second one has full dev mode.
HTH.
