What should I do if XR_ 3DA.exe does not work?

In 2007, the cult game "STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl" was released, which was remembered for its unique atmosphere, beautiful graphics, as well as numerous departures due to the unstable work of the X-RAY engine. The error "XR_ 3DA.exe does not work" had to be seen at least once in the life of those who ran one of the games "STALKER". In order to fully understand the situation and further prevent it, it is necessary to carefully examine the topic.

Initial concepts

The cause of the failure can serve many factors, because even at the announcement of the game in 2004, developers said that the game engine is very unstable and vulnerable to code errors, as well as foreign interference (mods, third-party patches, hacking). Many of modmeykerov confirm this judgment, because each mode on "Stalker" or other interference in the internal environment of the game lead to the flight of the program XR_ 3DA.exe and subsequent problems with the game.

The figure shows how the game reacts to in-game errors, as a result of which it flies.

Most often after the message that XR_ 3DA.exe does not work, a person starts to think that this is some virus in the computer, and it needs to be rebooted. No, it's not at all. Absolutely all games of the line "STALKER" work on the game engine, which is extremely demanding of the environment, namely the root folder. Any violation of its integrity in 95% of cases leads to failure in the "Stalker" XR_ 3DA.exe. Also, the cause of the failure can be considered poor-quality antivirus software installed on the computer.

Reinstall as an option to fix an error

As a rule, the majority of players in "Stalker" use assemblies, where the game is already patched to the latest version, and also does not require a boot disk for authorization or a special key confirming that the game is bought, not hacked. Publishers of such assemblies are inexperienced because they can perform their work poorly, and sometimes it's done specially, so if the pirated version does not work on your computer, then you need to do the following:

• Try reinstalling the drivers for your video card. The search for drivers is not difficult, because there are only 2 types of graphics processor vendors: NVIDIA and RADEON. It is only to drive the name of your video card into the search engine, as immediately on the first link will be the site of one of the manufacturers, where you can download the latest drivers along with DirectX.
• If you do not care which part or mode of "Stalker" to play, then you need to find another assembly of the game, but before that you must delete the previous version of the game in order to prevent possible flights in the future.
• If all options are not suitable, then the acquisition of a license will solve all the problems. You can buy the game on the special Steam site, where you download the latest version of the game.

The impact of modifications on the in-game process

In 90% of cases XR_ 3DA.exe does not work for the reason that there are various modifications in the root folder of "Stalker" that are written by programmers badly. They can just conflict with each other. Which is why the error XR_ 3DA.exe is obtained. To exit this situation, you need to go to the folder where the "Stalker" is installed, and delete the "gamedata" folder, and then start a new game. This method is very effective for errors with modifications, but the game becomes original and loses all the innovations of the modification. If you yourself create a fashion, then you should look at the files for compatibility or delete the mod files that are installed later than all.

The influence of antivirus on the game

The XR_ 3DA program may not work because an antivirus is activated on your computer. This is due to the fact that the integrity of the license file is violated during the hacking, and all security certificates are reset, so that the antivirus can recognize the game as malicious software. To prevent such incidents, the following actions are required:

• When installing, put the antivirus into sleep mode, in which it will not monitor the system for malicious files;
• Use only the licensed version of the game, where there are practically no flights;
• Remove the antivirus that is installed on your computer if the methods above do not work.

Errors in the licensed version of the game

Also, the occurrence of the error "XR_ 3DA.exe does not work" can also occur in the licensed version of the game, in view of the above engine, capable of failing at any time. If you have problems with the licensed version of the game, you need to do the following:

• Update the game from the official source to the latest version.
• Go to the C: \ Users \ Public \ Documents \ STALKER-SHOC \ logs directory and delete the files in the folder.
• If this does not help, then you need to restart the game if it crashes when you load the location.
• In the case where all methods do not help, you need to completely remove the game and install it again.
