I agree but the guns models and animations (when you shoot) are kinda lame Confused HL2 and Far Cry were much better in that department.

I just got into this underground tunnel zone, and man, this place looks amazing, they really did super effects on the lightning here, but my 8800GTX/6600E/2GB DDR 800 system barely manages to keep it at 25fps in this area(Outside it's 50ish). They mislabeled this game as an RPG, it's barely so. You can really feel the "FPS" in these tunnels, and see the great AI and good physics and most amazing lighting I ever seen in a game.

I'll be back with more impressions. BTW if this game is moddable, i'm betting someone will make mod with skills and experience for it, because I was really hoping for more RPG elements, and this game has potential for it.

Yeh I can't disagree there, alot of the textures are pretty half arsed. But there's enough good here for them to be overlooked IMO Smile

It looks good. My performance isn't that great.
Single core A64 and X1900XT stutters a lot at 1440x900, high detail/texture options, no AA, 1/2 view distance. Probably need to back down a notch. Wink

Change the dynamic lighting option to "Static Lighting" and enjoy the boost Very Happy .That's unless you absolutely want to play with DL but it's the biggest FPS killer.

I can play with everything maxed with some AA and AF @ 1440 x 900 (A64 3200+ , 6800GT , 1 gig RAM) without DL and i get a constant 40 - 60 FPS

I totally agree, they did a superb job with lightning. When its dark and you have the flashlight out, it just looks beautiful. Even thought the shadows are pretty demanding on the hardware, i just cant turn them off, it just wouldnt look and feel the same. So far im enjoying it and the atmosphere is great even if the graphics dont look crysis-like.

I got artifacts once...in the first camp, and now i was in that undeground zone for like an hour, and they haven't appeared there, so I doubt it's from the overheating, because that zone is much more gpu intensive than the first camp... (Although any time I did have artifacts in any game they were from overheating, so...)

I like this game the more I play it. I gotta say I expected something different, but I'm starting to like this aswell. Definately worth playing.

Yes, but the 8800 is at default speed..no OC, and i dont know why but this game is overheating my graphics card, is running at 69ºC, normally is at 64ºC at full load. well, 69ºC is a pretty normal temperature for a 8800..so its not the temperature causing the artifacts, is the game, must be a bug with the 8800 cards...perfomance sucks in this game too. looks like rainbow six vegas, but really worst Laughing in some areas i get like 5 fps only in the tunnel Laughing

S.T.A.L.K.E.R_Shadow_of_Chernobyl_PROPER-HATRED

This is what a rebuilt routine looks like ViTALiTY, take a close
look as you might learn something.

Like we stated earlier we don't like to proper unless there is a
good reason, but ViTALiTY has really been pushing trying to see
what sorts of crap they could get away with and it seems ViTALiTY
themselves have not been hesitating to proper RELOADED for
screw-ups much smaller than this.

Well we hope you have all learned something and STALKER is really
too big a title to let the world only have the improper crack. The
last thing we want is to escalate a silly NFO-war in the scene but
ViTALiTY is really insulting all hardworking crackers in the scene
by releasing such crap as if it was proper work. I promise you
anyone who knows even a tiny bit about cracking will understand
that this is a completely amateurish and unacceptable
cracking-technique to simply disable a routine instead of
rebuilding it. If their executable runs reliably it is PURE LUCK!
So please ViTALiTY take a little time to research, develop your
techniques and then start releasing again.

Long story short: ViTALiTY doesn't know how to fix partially
relocated routines therefore they choose to completely disable
that routine since they didn't know how to fix it. This routine
was present in the original executable and therefore it should
also be in the crack. This is a bad crack, and we bring you the
proper one.

Enjoy Wink

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.Shadow.of.Chernobyl.NOTE.FOR.RETARDS.READ.NFO-ViTALiTY

Looks like HATRED couldn't stand the fact that they are getting
owned by others on SecuROM 7. Anyone could easily have copied
that function -HATRED shows by the other executable in the
dedicated folder in the game dir.

The function we removed only showed a MessageBox when the pagefile
is not big enough. We thought it would be better to make the
exe run anyway. The stolen function does nothing else.

Therefor the -HATRED release is an invalid proper.

Besides that HATRED cannot crack those functions themselves
(Test Drive Unlimited has the same shit) they also claim
that our Supreme Commander is bad because its UPXED?
What is wrong with that? It's only a PE compressor! All FLT
cracks have it. And why would they mention this?
Simply beause they cannot crack the normal SecuROM 7.31
themselves. We are not making this up. The HATRED cracker
said it himself to some guy who spreaded the information.

Another fact is that HATRED also releases some crap releases
they cannot crack under QUARTEX. HATRED blaims us for using
executables that are weak protected and they do this..

So HATRED, go back where you came from (DEViANCE that is Smile)
Let this also be a first and last warning. You know what we
know about you..
