Widescreen Gaming Forum

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 ...

Is there a solution for the bug with the lightning, because I have the problem. :(

GREAT! :D
Thank you so much Racer!

So whats the scare factor in this game so far?
Like F.E.A.R? Doom3? Relitivly low like HL2? or what?

No I don't think there was a post with a fix ... :( ... all that was said was to not use the highest setting ...

The post about this issue was on the http://www.gsc-game.com general forum for Stalker ... but the forum is closed at the moment.

Some people have been having problems with 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound ...
I was one of them ... I wasn't getting 5.1 ...

Apparently ... the problem seems to be , that the openAL32.dll Stalker is using, only plays software acclerated sound. With the new dll (below) it uses hardware acclerated sound.

By replacing the OpenAL32.dll in the ... C:Program FilesTHQS.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobylbin ... folder with this one here ...
I now have full Surround 5.1 and it sounds way way better ... :D



Make a backup of the original one ... just in case it doesn't work for you !!!
Do this replacement at your own risk.

Are there any infos for a patch?

There seems to be quite a bit of talk about one on that forum I mentioned earlier but nothing confirmed.

Hmm I tried the new dll but there is no difference. :(
I laughed to soon.

Oh ... that's a shame ... :(
I wonder why it worked for me and not you ... ?

May be there is one here that will work for you ... http://www.openal.org/
