Wasn't this the one that was meant to add the free roaming version of the game after you had completed it once ?

Thanks for the heads up anyway .
 
Old saves work fine, very good fps increase for me for some reason, 100% :confused:

not complaining! 40fps i used to get when i saved it, installed patch, now getting 70-100fps in the same area.. very nice increase
 
My spidey sense feels that they decided to omit that feature from this patch (or altogether?) to release the patch early with the important fixes. I haven't started STALKER yet but the changelog makes me feel that little more warm inside. I imagine I will have a great experience now :)
 
Ah brilliant. I can finally reinstall this game and actually try and play it :)

1.0--1.0001----1.0003----1.0004 installing and patching process here I come.

Nice little patch by the look of it too, better use of dual cores, and fps improvements for everyone anyway, given the large amount of physics in this game, I'd bet thats going to give a real boost on dual cpu machines - 15% general increase + x% fps for giving physics it's own cpu, leaving the rest for the game itself.
 
Okay, now this game seems to be running half stable would it be worth me picking it up, is it a good game? And would it be worth trying to play it on the rig in my sig (yeah i know it rhymes :p ) at 1280x1024 or will i get annoyed with low detail and poor frames.
 
I have never patched my game so im woundering what is the patching process, so i just get 1.004 straight off and install or do i need to follow a set of patches in a certain installed way if so can someone tell me that which patch first then second etc. Cheers.
 
Hmmmm, this patch IS rather nice. Im now able to run maximum EVERYTHING in game, bar AA (as it doesnt work) on Dynamic Lighting at 1680x1050. The framerate isnt amazing, I'd estimate around 20-30, but it IS playable, and damn with all the shadowing etc on, it doesnt half look nice.
