Help With Clear Sky and Sweetfx / GemFX.

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience of using sweetfx with Clear Sky? Unfortunately, I'm greeted with the message about it not being able to open the fxgame.ltx file. I tried creating a .bat file, but no joy.

Looks like your trying to run the game from the wrong file, as i was getting that with COP (was trying to run it from the XR_3DA one in the bin folder), so i ran from the one created in the Start menu (Stalker COP), and it worked.

Initially, I was using the retail version, though now I'm experimenting with the steam one. I think I've got it sorted now, chaps (I think). I can see colour changes on one or two objects, though it's a quite a lot subtler than in some other instances / games I've experienced. Thanks.

One of the reasons why I wanted to use the retail game was because, unlike the steam version, it doesn't appear to be fps locked. As it turns out, the steam one has some other minor benefits, well, at least by the look or 'feel' of it anyway.
