S.T.A.L.K.E.R Clear Sky - Gone Gold

just a quick report about bugs found so far,

With the game patched in Vista64 so far ive had the game not starting in fullscreen and text not showing on anything (Menus and ingame speech) This happens in about 1 in 3 loads

It seems to run ok with DX10 High defaults at 1920x1200 but anything higher it becomes very laggy. (Cpu is at 4G)
 
Oh well I'll give them a miss (both STALKER and this).

I just cannot be bothered playing buggy, ill-coded games any more.

Huh? the original isn't buggy at all anymore and is a brilliant game with the Oblivion lost mod. This however seems to pale in comparison.

Anyone able to post any screenies maxed out dx10?
 
my copies still not here, so went and got it from across the road (i'll send the other one back it was only an extra £5).

like SS-89 said the original is now brill, so give it time and i'm sure this will be too. can't wait to finish work now!

Just hope its not too much of a let down atm!
 
Bought this today for twenty five squid. Not bad! Runs extremely poorly though.
Specs are:
HD2900Pro
Q6600@stock
4gb Crucial Ballistix 1066 5-5-5-18
Windows XP (DX9)
1680x1050

I'm getting 20 FPS at the recommended High setting (no anti-aliasing). It's playing like a slideshow, and lags noticeably when entering new areas. I defragged after install.
 
runs crap on my machine,

will tweak the settings tonite, but q6600 @ 3960mhz 8gb of ram, 4870x2 running at 2560x1600, and its really bad in the start area. Bar area stutters and such.

As said though, i think its with everything set to high, so need to tweak it all. Thats also with the new patch installed
 
Have any of you X2 users or Crossfire users tried renaming the .exe from

xrEngine.exe to XR_3DA.exe

Might help if ATi have no profile for the game yet, I know nvidia already has a profile in the display drivers, but Ati can be very late to do this

With everything maxed out on my system, it also runs like crap. I have very similar specs, 30" monitor, 4870 X2 but my CPU is E6850 @ stock 3GHz.

Change the dynamic lighting to 'object', this turns off HDR and bloom but makes the game run much faster. STALKER's HDR has always been slow.

Performance will improve after a few driver updates, but i think GSC will have to do better to optimize their HDR.

Also during game shutdown, the console reports crossfire has been detected and is set to use 2 GPU's.

Giving it a go now.

Will post back in 10 mins.

Nope doesnt like it, complains it cannot find xrEngine.exe :(
 
Grr mines not arrived from the damn rain forrest yet, damn Royal Mail :(. So desperate to play the damn thing, been waiting since it was announced :( LAME.
 
I love a game where you have to save every few minutes, running on low setting (see sig) very disappointed.
