For those who have STALKER, how does it run?

Finding this slightly dubious, but if true it does show how much more powerful the GTX is over the GTS. :eek: Really is a shame that a £350+ graphics card is needed to run such a crap looking game at over 50fps minimum though.

I'm really disappointed in how it runs on my PC. I'm using 1680x1050 too.

No I don't doubt it, runs really well on mine. GTX overclocked a bit and a 3.6Ghz E6600. Stays a pretty constant 60fps, vsync on 1680x1050. All sliders/settings at max, x16AF etc. Seemed a bit naff to start with, gets better further in.

Seems like the 8800GTX is much more powerful than the GTS then, I get mostly 30fps with vsync enabled. :(

Might be because of all the grass though. Did your framerate increase when you got to built-up areas?

Just wish antialiasing would work at all in this game with full dynamic lighting.

Tryed turning off vsync then?

Yeah but I can't play games without it, drives me mad. Like I said I get mostly 30fps with vsync on, because with vsync off it's between 28fps and 50fps on average or something like that and most of the time it can't cope enough to get the full 60fps. :(

If I turn a couple of things down a bit I can get framerates in the hundreds, but the game already looks crap maxed.
 
I got the collectors edition today, the tin/contents are pretty neat, I must say! also bonus unlockable content!
 
Just picked this up this morning, not done much apart from run about outside just to see how well it runs etc... but its running sweet, 1280x1024 maxed everything, apart from turning off the Grass Shadows, as with those on the shadows of the grass seems to pop on dark not long in front of you so looks odd, and the AA doesn't work for some reason, but apart from that seems to run great here, specs in sig, all stock, gona give it a proper going over later on. :)

I tried to get the collectors edition, but the place i got it from only had the normal, still its the game that counts more.
 
a lot of other forums are saying the games runs bad :(

Mine comes tomorrow cant wait to see what its like been following this game for a while.

Hopefully a nice big patch will be out and all the problems will be addressed :)
 
The collectors edition tin looks good on my desk :)

Reading parts of the tins extras book and also watching the extras dvd before I jump in! Game is installed though :D
 
I get around 15fps average @ 1440x900, sometimes goes up to 30fps, on a hill looking at village, its about 20fps, I turn around its like 80fps, really crap performance tbh, graphics are not much better than F.E.A.R. and that ran perfectly :\
 
F.E.A.R ran good, but F.E.A.R XP, well, that was insanely bad, same settings as F.E.A.R. looks the same, yet unplayable, total lag.

Ok, now this is very VERY weird, I just went back on to play S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and I had super lag, so lowered res to 800x600, everything in video to minumum, and turned off, and stuff on page with res, well that was minimum too, yet still was unplayable, this is a discrace :mad:

Id say they are a fair bit worse than fear

For me i get around 35-50 fps with the spec in sig. All on max except AF and AA on 3 notches to the right, though AA dont do a great deal. Lighting distance or whatever its called on middle. Using full dynamic lighting

Not the game, possibly hardware or software on your computer causing the lag. 1gb ram could be it. Antivirus still active? Drivers setting etc..

I like your keyboard, whats the make etc of it? I mean i see its a logitech but what model?

It's a logitech S510 :)

I'm having an issue of the game not loading! xr_3da.exe loads and stays loaded but the game does not kick in, looks like I may have to update opanAL
 
I had that. I had to resort to "other" means of a exe to get the game to run properly. Heard others had same problem and what i did was what they did as thats the only way to get the game running apparently.
 
This is ridiculous, the game would NOT load after clicking the launcher and nothing I tried would solve that and I was not prepared to update gfx drivers or anything because they are perfect for my system.

Basically XR_3DA.EXE loads and sits in task manager doing nothing...

Turns out it's a fault with SecureROM used in this game and I do have DaemonTools installed and I am NOT going to uninstall that for some spitty copy protection (even them some people still had no luck)

In the end the only resolution was to use a NoCD patched XR_3DA.EXE which instantly fixed the issue. :rolleyes:
