Stalker Shadow Of Chernobyl Remove Head Bobby

STALKER series

Shadow of Chernobyl is an excellent game, cult franchise, in my top 5. The only issue with it I've always had is sometimes you need to adjust difficulty, at certain points of the game (it'll be subjective) because some balancing can be off with enemy hitpoints. S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl is a First-Person-Shooter with many Role Playing elements. It's set in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone after a second fictional explosion in the not too distant future. It is known for its atmosphere and relatively difficult gameplay.

Does anyone know if the gog's version of Shadow of Chernobyl has the stuttering issue fixed? I tried playing a couple of years ago with a 7870 and it stuttered like hell on the steam version.

By stuttering do you mean the sound or the visuals?!

That's a problem inherent with the X-ray engine, you can't 'fix' it. Unless of course they rewrite the engine from scratch or move to a new one. It probably has a lot to do with AI routines and the chaotic way in which things aren't scripted.
The original X-ray was probably used in Codename: Outbreak, before Stalker. I'm surprised they even managed to implement DX11 features. Not even the Source engine had that.

A bit late to the party, but this might help:
---------------------------------------------
1. Download RadeonPro
2. Start RadeonPro -> Add profile -> Find the XR_3DA.exe in your STALKER/bin directory and then click on 'Open'
3. Go to the Advanced tab
4. Set Flip Queue Size to 1
5. Make sure RadeonPro IS running while Starting the game.
--------------------------------------------
I hope this helps.

For those with an NVIDIA card, stuttering can be fixed by setting the maximum pre-rendered frames in the control panel's manage 3D settings to one.

Modifications[edit]

The S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series has garnered a dedicated following which includes a very active modding community, mostly in Russia, however translations are available for most of the popular mods (commonly found in the GSC forums). The best way to determine which type of mods you will enjoy is by first trying the vanilla game (with ZRP for bug fixes). Below are some basic recommendations.

Preparing the game for mods^{[citation needed]}

To use mods with S.T.A.L.K.E.R., you will first need to edit your fsgame.ltx - file found under the installation folder.

Go to the installation folder.
Open fsgame.ltx with a text editor.
Find line:
$game_data$ = false true $fs_root$ gamedata
Change it to:
$game_data$ = true true $fs_root$ gamedata

Notes

If the mod comes with an executable, you may need to point it manually to the correct installation folder. If it comes as a file package, extract and copy the mod's contents into your gamedata folder.

To patch your mod or to add new ones on top, overwrite and merge your installation's gamedata folder with the new one.

Using Smart Mod Manager^{[citation needed]}

Download the program at Codeplex. The program installs the mods from .zip or directly from the folder. It will warn you if there are issues with other mods combined; then you have to choose one of them.

First select the game (S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl or S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky)
Set up the right language, version and folder of the game
Go to the game tab and install mods from .zip or folder.

Enable/Disable mods also possible in the manager
