Widescreen Gaming Forum

Well, I heard from a colleague of mine who has "acquired" the game :lol: that the game has to load really often if you enter a new part of the game and the loadtimes are really long.

Sounds a lot like the irritating "loading" dialogs that used to pop up on Morrowind and Oblivion before we found ways of turning them off :).

For changing the FOV you should see?:

C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersDocumentsSTALKER-SHOCuser.ltx

Looking for the command right now.

You can walk about 1km² before you get to the next area where you have to load.
Performance-wise, on my system if i put everything on high at 1680x1050 i get 15fps, i have to medium everything and run at 1280x800 to get 30-50fps. Because the world is rather un-colourful, dropping the texture resolution in the slightest really makes it look very very bland and last-gen. Lighting effects are still nice tho.

Couldn't find any setting in the cfg file when I looked, but there must be a way. An undocumented command or something.

OMG OMG.. Stalker is out! Can't wait til it arrives in the USA

Loading screens? Sigh, sounds like loading that occurs alot in that massive online game called Neocron

Loading? Thats gonna blow. Its the year 2007, all PC games by now should be seamless

They also should nativly support proper widescreen.

ctrlsteef:

I stole your exellent screenshots comparison image adn posted it, along with some bitching, on teh official forums.

Perhaps we'll see if a developer will toss in his/her two cents.

I just couldn't fathom why theey'd make it lop off the SIDES as well.. very stupid.

Good work mate, lets see what happens. :)

I'm seriously disapointed. This type of widescreen support is not representative of a next-gen game.

Thats pretty dissapointing.

I wont have the game for a few weeks, I'll play around with it once i do, but im guessing someone else on here will have a solution/conclusion way before then :).
