lol my computer isnt as good as your and i havent had one single crash..... though i heard that the 8800 gts is having alot of problems with stalker.... new drivers are gonna come out soon to solve this problem...the game isnt that hard... i've allready beat it once and now am playing at stalker difficulty....novice is actually easy.....oh another thing... if you dont want it to crash so often i suggest you lower your lighting settings.... go to the medium one...dont put full dinamic lighting if it crashes every time i know it isnt as good but trust me.... at least it wont crush every time.... even though i play with everything full and still dont have any problems...

Yes i play with everything full and for the most part it runs smoothly, just the frequent crashes are annoying, i will try out what you said though, see if that helps. Thanks.

Errr, yes?       

 

By the way, the things that hurt you are anomin-something, see the places where the air is all blurred and is sorta like when you toss a rock into water, avoid them, they do bad things to you, toss a bolt into them to see what they do.  

 

I've also heard there's invisible ones, so keep those bolts ready.

In the beginning just go to the right on the first road and there's some military guys there. Shoot at them with the pistol and run back to the camp. After a while they'll attack the camp and you and the other stalkers can kill them. Then loot their submachine guns and the first mission should be easier.

Is there a patch in the works to resolve the crashing? And why is the crashing to do with the way the lighting is?

Sorry to be off-topic, but Crysis runs on windows XP and DX9 aswell.  Most of the video's weve seen is using DX9 anyways.  Just if you want the extra special effects and such you need vista and DX10

I still wonder why this overrated game is getting so much praise. The world is big and bland, the UI is clunky and barely functional, the gunplay is terrible and frustrating, (until you get better guns, but even then enemies do not react to getting shot until they die) the story is barely discernable and not at all captivating, and what's with the lack of voice acting on most npcs? Gameplay-wise, this game is a step down from Deus Ex.

IM sorry but this does not hold water at all think of it EA is publishing Crysis... Last time I Checked EA is the most money hungry company I have ever seen... They are not going to cut 98% of their money just so only vista plays the game.... (98% is just the number I think of as PC gamers still using XP) Yes Microsoft can make halo 2 for vista only because Halo2 has been out for years on the Xbox and they have already made their money off halo2.... so yes there will be the few stupid people out there that will upgrade to vista just to play a 3 year old game...

Amen, I got into the 2nd or 3rd area (underground) and just quit the game eventually and un-installed it altogether.

STALKER has to be one of the most overrated games ever, it couldn't touch Deus Ex.

I do not understand the love for this game from some people - it's a steaming pile of sloppy, buggy, poorly implemented poo.

Its called freedom of choice. Some people love it, others hate it. Much like why I cannot understand why people love Supreme 

Commander but I understand its their preference.
