don't get me wrong now, i didn't made any direct reference to sun-settings, but to downscaling video options in general

you have to actually equip your scanner so it shows you where to find artifacts. better scanner=easier to find.
and the prices you get for or have to pay for stuff are defind by your grade of friendship to the faction

With Dx10 it runs alot worse. However, there's really just a tiny visual difference between Enhanced Full Dynamic Lighting( Dx10) and just the regular Enhanced Full Dynamic Lighting; personally I don't even notice it unless I look at screenshots( where Dx9 mode appears more 'washed-out' ).
I certainly notice the fps drop though. With Dx10 activated I will have 11'ish fps in one specific scene. If I switch off Dx10, my fps rise to 50 with an, as mentioned, almost unnoticeable difference visually.

You know what else is boring? Trolls.
We care, by the way. I didn't expect a troll with a wrestler avatar to appreciate the game's finer points... Or do I come here and let you shove your opinion down my throat. I will decide what's boring and what's not boring. Mkay, there, champ?

Please, shut up. Thank you for your opinion. Bye now.
As for the performance, not it does not run better than SoC, because the engine's been improved to show improved DX9 and DX10 graphics which makes it a lot heavier to render. If you go for the "Enhanced Lighting" mode, expect to run @ 30fps avg without sun and around 25fps when the sun is shining and the sunshafts etc are showing.
If you stick to the "normal" DX9 mode, framerates are more acceptable. Around 100fps on my 3870CF setup. But then you'll have to miss al the graphical enhancements.
Got to Yantar yesterday, but shouldn't this be a prequel? Spoiler: |
The scientist told me that Strelok had just run off with the anti-psy thingie. So you are basically following Strelok from the original Stalker, aren't you? |
