I heard Crysis looked pretty, but lacked in depth and story. STALKER's been really cool so far.

stalker lacks creativity. everything in there is plain and has been used before alot more. crysis is pretty and does alot of cool things. i dont wanna get into detail but yeah stalker bores me.

Its a mod that improves performance by at least 20%, does a lot of other graphical enhancements as well, its more than worth it.

sorry to be off topic here but this mod...does it work for any game?

Yup, you did everything right, assuming you patched the game as well.

@ Double Agent: No, just for STALKER, although the same guy is working on a Crysis version to be released sometime soon.

ok cool thanks...was just wondering if it would help boot my PC's performance for the few games I can play...but I see it won't

... seriously man, I can't beleive I forgot to patch my game.

O wait, I downloaded throught STEAM, I wasn't sure if it updated while it was downloading. I guess I should check.

EDIT: I just saw that you need the newest version of STALKER, the graphics on Ultra dynamic, and the newest Direct X. I'm updating my video card driver now and getting the STALKER updates. Is 1.0006 the newest version? Also the newest version of direct X is 9.0c if you don't have Vista, right?

Yeah, I got the 1.005 patch, but I wouldnt guess there is a whole lot of differences with .005 and .006

9.0c is the latest DX9 yes. Also when updating your video card driver, uninstall the old driver completely, restart your PC, then reinstall the new driver. If you have anymore questions let me know.

Well, the game updates when you download it. THe patches were already installed.

Anyhow, when I turn it to Ultra Dynamic my game plays like craaaaap. dunno

I didn't fully uninstall the old driver first... forgot about that.

You probably want to stay with "Objects Dynamic light" only, w/e the middle option is, basically the same as the other except lots of performance improvements.
