This has got to be the toughest game to get started in I've seen for a LONG time. Only doing the Cordon, heading towards the Factory, and the guys there just spank me! only got the silenced pistol though

Bought this on sundy and played a few times.
Grinds my PC into the ground and doesn't let go till its crashed !
GPU reaches like 90 od in the temp monitor in ATi tool ! gets to that at
621/725 wich is stock 3d speeds.
Running it at 1280x1024 as any widescreen setting is a no no.
Turned the grass detail right down and that helped and a few other options.
With hdr off I'm getting about 48-60fps according to fraps but it pauses a lot when wondering around. Like its wating for the next scene to load. Also iwth hdr off it looks pants !
PC is totally stable in every other game I play. So i guess this games is just a beast. I've installed patch 001 or something like that.
Anyone else know of any tweaks I can do apart from a hardware upgrade ?
Also does this use Dual core or not as I could stick my 3.0ghz optty back in if not ?

ajgoodfellow said:48-60fps shouldn't be unplayable IMO - perhaps your hard drive is fragmented?
I'm playing it on a slower system at the moment (X2 3800 @ Stock, X1900XT @ Stock, 2GB DDR2-800, Vista Business) and I haven't had any problems. I'm using a defragmented Raptor drive though and a clean windows install with very little running in the background

Only playing on easy and so far I don't think much of the AI. enemys seam to get stuck a lot as well as other stalkers and there mates. Enemys don't seam to notice you creep up and shoot them in the head about 15 times either !
I've got to the next bit on where you go to some trash dump and i'd advise you don't stay there too long.

neo202020 said:Yeah, you'll notice the AI gets better pretty rapidly hehe. Stalker has to be one of the first games where turning up the difficulty settings actually improves AI. In most other games playing against AI feels like playing against retards on lower difficulty settings and like playing against retards with aimbots on higher settings.
Do you loot all the enemies you kill for ammo?YorkshirePadd26 said:Can't seam to get enough ammo in this game either, got a viper 5 and have no ammo.
Dutch Guy said:I never used the Viper, I used a AKM 74/2U I looted from the militaries I killed near the train overpass until I got a TSR 301 which I then traded for a GP-37
Inquisitor said:Where can you get the FN F2000 (called the FT 200M in game I think)? I played through to Yantar and got it there from the scientist in the mobile lab before I reinstalled Windows and didn't back up my saves. Just got back to Yantar after starting again and he doesn't have it
It beats any other gun I've come across so far hands down, including the GP 37.
