If you are having performance problems with dynamic lighting turn textures down one notch and run shadows halfway, also turn down grass amount... It will look amazing and run far far better

Very nice, just installed this myself, had a little look around and the detail is just amazing. Really really gritty looking game too. I like it

Nice comparison. Dissappointed that the visual difference is so much though, but you can see why it hits performance as it does.

Thanks for the comparison. Looks a lot better with the dynamic lighting but it all depends on if the performance loss isnt too bad.

Can we get some in the dark?

Im playing without dynamic lighting and when its like 3am it just doesnt look very dark. Wondering what it is like with dynamic.

Is that the third option in the list? Isn't there also an option for Object lighting or something?

Yes

 

[killer_uk]

How does that perform? And is there much of a difference to the dynamic?

EDIT: I'm also having trouble viewing your pictures.

There is a setting in the config file where the bump and parallax mapping is enabled without dynamic lighting on. Stalker is weird in that bump and parallax mapping is turned off alongside the lighting, when in fact, you can run the former without the latter.

I don't know exactly how to tune it, but it was on either oblivion-lost.de or one of the bigger Stalker fansites.

That top dynamic shot with the tractor looks great.
