I like this game alot, It reminds me of 'kingpin' in a sense (god knows how).

Problem I have is even though you can roam freely it is still kinda linear a lot more than i bargained for.

Shame on them.

GFX - 8.5
SFX - 7
GP - 7.5


After waiting for so long I expected a different experience (shame on my imagination).


EDIT - BTW I have no problems running it on win xp sp2, amd 64 4800 x2, 2GB ram, SB audigy 2, Radeon X1800XT 512, everything on full at 1280x1024.

Works fine with a image mounted and using Yasu 1.1.7035 but ofcourse just copying a exe over the old file and playing is easier than using various programs.
(Albeit the programs work fine for me and patches are rarely cracked so I usually prefer clones over cracked releases and if needed the crack can be grabbed elsewhere)

Could anybody comment on whether or not there's a notable performance increase with the 1.0001 patch?

I am currently on a 7800GTX and performance is crap in DX9 mode... Wondering if this patch could fix something. I'd try it myself but I don't want to lose my save games Very Happy.

Thanks.

I am not that far in the game, wouldn't mind losing my save games if I knew for sure that performance would improve... and it seems it won't.

I get 70 to 100 FPS in DX8 mode, and only 15 to 25 FPS in DX9. Such differences speak for themselves, DX9 support was put in too late and too hastily.

I am putting all my hopes on the guy at tweakguides.com to provide some miracle tweaks Very Happy.

I'm still having CTD's in Vista with quicksaving Sad

Otherwise some good things have come from the patch, the most notable being more consistent performance. I don't get random ass 20fps drops anymore it's pretty stable now usually above 40+ at 1600x1200 all Max.

I also like how they added a little image of what your about to pick up or maybe I never noticed that before Confused

There are a ton of tweaks already out that allow you to get a additional 20-30fps in full dynamic lighting mode. People have posted their .ini files all over the place. There is even an "Ultra" mode where a ton of stuff that is disabled by default in the .ini was enabled but I wouldn't suggest using that since it basically crushes every graphics card known to man right now.

S T A L K E R Shadow of Chernobyl Update v1 0001 PROPER-HATRED

Nothing has changed, it's STILL not okay to just disable calls to
a routine you can't rebuild.

VTY:

004AF5F2 68 80D54C00 PUSH XR_3DA.004CD580
004AF5F7 50 PUSH EAX
004AF5F8 68 00000200 PUSH 20000

004AF612 FF15 90704C00 CALL DWORD PTR DS:[4C7090]

The game developers intended this routine to be executed and it's
not a protection-scheme (like an online serial check for example)
and therefore it's not acceptable to just patch it away.

Refer to S.T.A.L.K.E.R_Shadow_of_Chernobyl_PROPER-HATRED nfo for
further details.

I have good news : i've just found a patch to solve the crash problem with quicksave under Vista ! It's a patch to fix memory addressing for Suprem Commander, but that works also for this game, so i give you the patched exe (v1.0):
http://rapidshare.com/files/23048909/XR_3DA.rar.html

also, type this command in start/ run :
BCDEDIT /set increaseuserva 2900

then, reboot your pc. Now the game will works fine Cool

Sorry for my bad english !

I just noticed something with this game. My performance is playable, but no matter what i change the performance/fps is the exact same. If i change from 1600x1200 to 1024x768 the only difference is the graphics looks worse. The fps is the exact same though - it's really weird.

If i look into the sky the framerate jumps into the 60-100 range
If i center the cross hair and just look straight ahead it's 25-35
If i look at the ground it's 60-100

It doesn't seem to matter what i change i can't get it above 25-35. I imagine if i change from dynamic to static this would all change. Just something weird i noticed.

yea the setting dont make a difference. everything max or everything low... still same fps. the only thing that makes a difference is sun shadows.
this game would be so nice if it was possible to use stealth tactics. just now i was spotted from 100m away through bushes. hope a future patch or mod makes it better.

Can someone tell me how to hex edit my cash, I want the number to be so low that I have the good ending. I tried using hex workshop for that and open my *.sav file and searching for the value but it was a nono. Firstly I went to 'Base Converter' did a raw hex and filled in the number 22584 in the decimal field to get the raw hex value which was 00005838 and I did not find a single result when looking in the savefile???? So how's this work??

I have seached teh google, can't find any ini/performance fixes/changes/tweaks. Am i missing a keyword? Anyone please link me to some fixed ini. Edit: official forums down at the mo. Will probably succeed finding some later
