Any help at all...

The advice I got was to search through the official topic for my problems, but then I encounter spoilers

Probably worth a try, at your own risk!

just a guess but maybe try quitting xfire?

I did, i also updated graphics drivers and direct x, im on a xp pc, with amd 4800+, 2gb ram, and 1950XTX...

Have you tried the -noprefetch command, i think i read sowmewhere that that helps with crashing.

I fixed my Stalker crashes by a clean re-install of XP, updated graphics + sound drivers and bunging another 1gb of ram in.

One or more of those things fixed it, no idea which.

nope, what do i do for that?

Right click the Stalker icon, properties, and add the -noprefetch to the end of the target, as per here

Aye did not work, and for some reason stalker just turned off my extend onto second monitor option and left the monitor with a lot of corupted graphics on it...

Tried a few fixes from that site, altered loads of settings, updated drivers, even tried a nodvd thing as sugested in the main stalker post, nothing will work, reading on the of forums a lot of people with ati having probs, but most of them sorted them with the above measures

Tried the latest patch?

Aye sadly, but I realy want to play this, it looks good (Sat watching room mate) but so far I only find people with nvidia that have it working fine

Its been working fine on my rig with ATI. Perhaps uninstall the game, double check you have all the latest drivers in your system, and its all stable etc, then reinstall and repatch, incase something was conflicting.

Have updated to latest ATI Drivers, and reinstalled, still doing the same thing

jcb33 · 20 Apr 2007 at 12:06

Bump, I need to play this

LoadsaMoney · 20 Apr 2007 at 15:17

Yeah i think patch 3 will have fixes for ATi cards, or they will be on the 2nd one, been that long i forgot as the 2nd patch was due weeks ago, but aint appeared yet and 3rd is now due, but bugger knows if the 2nd aint appeared yet, hopefully they'll roll both of them into one.
