0. Start with a clean Shadow of Chernobyl 1.0006 WW edition.

1. Install the preinstalled gamedata that contains the old machine translation:

2. Boot up the game, you should see version 2.09 fix 2 in the main menu. Do this now!

3. Install the English translation 1.02 from achillesdave for 2.09 fix 2:

4. (Optional) Install the Faster Loading scripts:

You're good to go at this point. Some of the optional installs below may lag on a potato, so try them and back out if they're too slow.

Monitor the download thread linked above and if/when achillesdave releases new translations, install them over your existing install.

The GSC forums have threads useful for help or finding up to date downloads:

Saving

======

OP-2 has save and load helper keys in the main menu. Press S in the main menu to create a named save, L to load the last save. S will save and drop you back in the game, so ESC S is a quick way to create a unique, named save and far better than using quicksave.
