STALKER Lost Alpha thread

Also for nvidia users, go to STALKER nvcpl profile and set Threaded optimization - OFF.

It will remove any weird (streaming) stutters when you move forward.

 

I was getting that with my 290, every couple steps forward and it froze for 1 second

 

Well if Amd driver supports similar function try and disable it :nerd:

This little driver tweak fixed it completely by Autumn Aurora2 mod (2x grass), I was hoovering ~ 900-1100mb max.


I didnt have such freezes though, only slight fps drops.. Those 1sec freezes happened in 2nd and 3rd stalker.

 

where can i get a good download? it wont download from official links!

 

tpb has it.

You can usethe -mblur switch for motion blur if you like, works sorts like mouse smoothing or frame smoothing.. as in it'll hide the stuttering a bit and stalkers motion blur is the best ive ever seen and im not really a fan of motion blur if it can be avoided.

The switch if your not already aware works like this.

Create shortcut of or go into properties of your current one and add "-mblur" without quotes the end of the 'Target' line ("F:\STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl\bin\XR_3DA.exe" -mblur). Then once in game, hit ~ and type "R2_mblur 1". Can be adjusted anywhere from 0.000 - 1.0 i think.

In regards to Nosiv's post above, this needs to be on steam and making money for devs, though i spose there will copyright issues.

Can we atleast donate.

 

Got the files downloaded but parts 2, 3 and 4 all give errors about having broken files in them, that's using 7zip.

 

Just download it via torrent.

 

Here ya go.

Thanks for all pics Noisiv - I have just started LA and it looks freaking incredible, but I am confused to all the folks struggling with FPS - I have the game on a SSD, a HD7970, a 4770k on stock and it seems to give me 60 fps with everything max except grass shadows.
I don't know if it's how my sound is set up but some awful echo/reverb when Sid started talking?

 

eax is bugged atm, that why your sound is echoing

 

Ahhhhh sandshoe breasticles!

 

How to do that. I get told by Nspector that this .exe belong too Stlker SOC.

Cheers man.


Anyone got any cool visual tweaks,

Performance isnt greatest this early so personally im not to worried about that and hopefully the dev team dont get nailed to the wall for it.


For Nvidia users,

• Alternate Frame Rendering doesnt seem to help if set to either 1 or 2.
• Threaded Oprimization - OFF or Auto make no diff for me (Cheers though -Tj-)
• Changing the Inspector bits under the general tab in...well inspector to that of CoP or Clear Sky doesnt make a diff for my pc.

Lol what.

Edit: Wait, you from NZ.. Me too!

 

Thanks for the screens

So how good is the mod?

 

Its stalker through and through. The developers have managed to do want others attempt to do with sequels, and thats provide more of the same experience without it feeling stale or like your retreading the same ground.

 

Remove the exe from Stalker SOC profile and add it to clear sky.
