Widescreen Gaming Forum

I dont remember HL2 having any bugs ...

... sound stuttering bug ... ?

Ah right. Its been a loong time.

I read in the NV forums that STALKER runs 5-15fps faster in vista, so what problems are there in vista, propably crashes? :(

... correct from what I have read.

Damn, but I will buy it anyway tommorow because I need a new game. :lol:
I really hope "widescreen" doens't look that horrible in real as in the pictures and it's playable with the bugs.

I can't remember where I read it now but it was the highest setting of the lighting that seemed to caused the problems ... and those quicksaves seem to be a problem in Vista as well as XP.

Saying that there are a few that say it runs flawlessly for them in Vista ...

Just some comparisons on the lighting ....

As you can see, it looks like daytime with Static lighting and the textures look horrible. And you can see a pretty significant FPS difference. Its obvious that the game was created in the PS2 era and they've simply added shiny post-processing effects but kept the shoddy textures.

I am actually quite pleased with the way the game looks, real gritty like Fallout. Most of the graphical overhead is caused by the advanced lighting and realtime shadows. Because of the way the sun tracks overhead they couldn't use any static shadows, it's all dynamically rendered. They also use a much more accurate and realistic lighting system than most game, I forget the name.

Yeah the game looks quite good, we just played it on my friends laptop, could only run low res and medium graphics and of course static lighting but i was still impressed.

Looks like a really fun game.

Hi,

have anyone of you dialogs which are cut-off at the right side? I tried both the English and the German version, to no avail. I presume this might be caused by 16:10 resolutions, I play at 2560x1600.
gogo

8) ... FOV fix here ... :D

Awesome Paddy!

I was a little concerned about the cropped view, looking forward to playing it now though :D.
