Do you guys got this fps issue with all res-es?


No it mustn't. I have dual-core and this game perfectly well knows how to deal with that.
The problem I hear with 8800GTX is strange though. I have a 7800GTX and it runs better than a lot with the 8800, while the rest of the setup is similar.

i think this game is another double-agent esque thing, runs good for some systems, and bad for others (including top of the line/not too bad) if i max it out it runs like pure poop.. i hope they patch it though, i doubt theyre like ubi that when their forums start flooding with "runs bad on my super comp" a patch might be released that addresses said issues

if that does happen, ill drop the cash for this game since its awesome

I think I am gonna replay the game on the hardest difficulty, or slightly harder then normal.
I believe that there's an difficulty level called "Realistic" or something like that, hopefully it will only make me more vulnerable and NOT boost the enemies HP by threethousand or so.

I'm stuck at the x18 lab mission.
I found the keycode
 Spoiler:
 
for the first locked door and went down to the 2nd level. Now I need to find another code for the next door, but I can't find it anywhere. There is a location marked green on my minimap but when I reached it there was nothing there.

 Spoiler:
 


Is this a bug or am I looking at the wrong place?
Any help is very much appreciated. Smile

Or with 8800 gts, for that matter. All settings maxed, AA silder 75%, running @ solid 50fps, outside and underground. Have yet to experience first fps slowdown. Running stock xp drivers, 97.92.

I do however get the artifacting when it rains every once in awhile.

According to the IGN review it gets better, I guess thats one of the RPG type elements to the game. Heres a quote

IGN wrote:
The game also delivers a distinct sense of increasing personal power as you accumulate better armor, weapons, and artifacts. When revisiting some of the early zones, you'll be able to utterly shred the opposition that was earlier such a chore to dispatch, like in many RPGs.

Hey dude I got that too. The artifacting. It really gets unplayable. It's like there is huge squares popping up everywhere around me if it rains. Is this my system or is it just a glitch in the game?

Also, any way to make it stop?

The game's not even out yet, give it a rest, they're probably working on a patch as we speak, and believe me, the game is not about completing the main task line, there's so much to explore.

I dont think its that broken, the first time I left the camp I killed over 30 guys before I came back. You just have to get used to certain strategy's, cheap as they may be. For example if you are facing a group of guys and they all have cover just slowly move up the side and sneak behind them, or get into a position where you can hit them but they cant hit you. Also I find that aiming down the sight doesn't help with the pistol and that from the hip firing seems to hit the guy more often, pointblank shotgun shots help too.

I tried it like 20 times then i just got pissed of and quit the game.. its not supposed to be that hard just after 1 hour.. i got so damn desperate i started throwing bolts at them idiots >_<

besides they took like 1 year+ on them to tweak this game and this is what we get? soldiers that can withstand 4 shotgun blasts.. one fucking shot should blow em thru a wall or something... also these guys know where i am even if i run around and hide.. i was sneaking around on top of this roof and i heard them shooting at me all the time..and yes ironsights are useless.. theres a bigger chance u nail the enemies by shooting normally. I dont know what these guys were thinking when they released this game or the guys who beta tested it geez.. feck im pissed Razz anyway if u got links to cheats or console commands then please link em here

Same here. the performance impact with lightning on distance is really the same like in Oblivion. If you shut the lightning visible distance down for both games they run really well, but with full lightning features they are almost unplayable (gf 7900).

by the way: really nice, that STALKER runs even on good ol´Win2000. Very Happy

Wrong, wrong, wrong and wrong. The shotgun does blow people away when close enough. The combat type. The sawn-off shit is effective at close range only. And it takes exactly one shot to take out a military guy with armor. Iron sights are VERY effective, you just never fired a real weapon and you probably shoot the thin air instead of your targets. Tracers would REALLY help all you noobs to see where you're actually shooting when you think you're aiming at the head. It's NOT CS or BF2, it's totally different.

And once again, people tend to hate what they don't or can't understand. That is exactly the case here.

Yea I have to agree with you on most of those points. For one of the most immersive games ive ever played the damage realism is far off. Shooting someone in the stomach with a shotgun and they stand up to fire back takes away from that experience. I haven't had too much trouble sneaking (have you been holding Shift + Ctrl?).Theres a trainer out, its been posted in this thread.

One more thing - you can get better weapons 2 hrs in the game that feel much more like your common crappy shooters.

Never EVER seen anyone bitch about weak swords in the beginning that kill an enemy after 5 hits in RPGs.

There are actually tracers , tried bursting with my AK on some guy and the bullets spreaded out, not a single single-line bullet, usually the first bullet is the most accurate one, but not in this game. Very Happy

Yea I actually like that RPG element being placed in the game, I just don't think people understand that the gun fights get MUCH better.

I think the games FPS has to do more with the games lack of optimization rather than the computer. Some people with better computers still have problems, just an observation mine runs fine

wrong wrong and wrong sorry but ur just saying the opposite of what i was.. yes 1 shot to the head usually does it but 4 shots with a sawn of shotgun and the guy is still standing? Thats just stupid and i know how to aim.. i had it on them all the time yet these guns keep missing its not my fault.. the only weapon i found effective was the grenades wich could take out 3 or 4 guys at once, and sometimes the npcs are not even turned against u so u try to sneak up behind him and bam he turns around and ur dead.. i dunno what difficutly ur playing on, super easy or something? cuz it sure as hell is hard for me, and i dont hate this game i never said i did.. im just dissapointed in it.
