This is a sub-page of Proto:S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.

Build 1935 is the most known and probably the only official build of S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. It was last compiled on the 18th of October 2004.

Background#

On the 20th of February 2009, a post with the title "EMPRO is lying!!!!!" (ЭМПРО лжет!!!!!) was created by a user named "nightmare" on the now defunct Gameru.net forum. The post contained this:

"I hope Empro will forgive me, but im tired of looking at this mess. So, he does have the build. Somewhere over a year ago GSC was actively cleaning its archives, during which a build was found. Empro got it by friendship and i by friendship got it aswell. The build does exist, however the version isn't 2055, i dont know why the archive was called that. I dont have much to say, have some screenshots of the dead city from the build. I tried to get original angles: (the screenshots from the build, as promised, were provided after this line, however they went lost due to them being removed from the forum) "Give, Give!" will begin. But i wont give., i promised not to give it to anybody. Empro however can. You all having or not having the build depends on one person." The user later sent another batch of screenshots, later going offline. It was later revealed that the user was Loxotron (user that previously published Build 2205) with his friends.

During this, on the official S.T.A.L.K.E.R forums, a message from a GSC employee popped up:

"Build 2055(?)

„A decision was made to release an old build of the game. Soon a download link will be posted here, so that those who wish could get acquainted with it. Warning! Stability and good performance of the build in no way is guaranteed. There will be no tech support provided for the build.

P.S The actual number of the build is currently being clarified.“ "

Later, another post was created by GSC once again, with it containing a download link to the build and a message saying:

"'xrCore' build 1935, Oct 18 2004

„In response to numerous requests, we present to you a build of S.T.A.L.K.E.R from 2004, specifically 'xrCore' build 1935, Oct 18 2004. WE ONCE AGAIN REMIND YOU, THAT GSC GAME WORLD DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE STABILITY NOR GOOD PERFORMANCE OF THIS SPECIFIC BUILD OF THE GAME, AND ALSO, WILL NOT ANSWER FURTHER QUESTIONS OR PROVIDE TECHNICAL SUPPORT FOR THE BUILD. Thanks you all for your understanding and we wish a good time with the build!“ "

Locations#

Dead City (l08_deadcity)#

The Dead City is a location cut from the final version of Shadow of Chernobyl, present in some builds, including 'xrcore' 1935. The location resembles an abandoned town in the middle of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. In the center of the town is a monument to Lenin, surrounded by several panel houses, a Sports Center and a City Committee. Behind the City Committee is a small park and a school. Judging by its number being 08, it was possibly supposed to be a location that the player should've visited inbetween the Army Warehouses (07) and the Swamps (09).
