One thing about STALKER - I would recommend installing the Oblivion Lost mod. You dont need to install it, but it does improve the game a lot, without altering the feel of it too much. There are some things which the dev team removed just before release (which are still in the game data files!) like monsters, and O.L. puts them back in, basically. And it makes the guns more accurate, and whenever there is a "blowout" O.L. makes the effects a l00t cooler ;)

for the first time, and I'm loving it! Absolutely awesome game, almost as good as the second part. I recommend installing the mouselook patch though.

Better actually, imo.

Almost forgot about that one. Downloading now.

There are, surprisingly, quite a number of really high quality doom3 packs. Not necessarily mods, but just level packs and episodes.
Can't remember which ones (I played probably a good 50 releases for d3). Check here for some:

i don't think it's that surprising actually. the colossal amount of work required must weed out all but the most diehard mappers/modders.
it sure weeded me out. ^_^;

Yeah it must have aye. I mean there's some shitters in the bunch, but I would have thought Doom3 mapping would be fkn hard. And yet there's probably a good 20 high quality releases.
Perhaps it's the opposite and the great engine and ability to build a box room then throw in all sorts of prefabs makes it quite easy to map for. One thing I did notice - 95% of custom map releases follow the exact same indoor lab bullshit of Doom3. No one much branched out to other themes.
Necros does that mean you scrapped your d3 map? You bastard I was looking forward to that!
 Same Indoor Lab Bullshit

That's because the game's resources allow for nothing else. If you were to make something entirely different, you'd also have to be a good texture artist and a proficient modeller. And I take it the number of available custom texture sets is limited - not least because everything other than base style looks odd at best in that engine.
 P.s.

necros is one hell of a scrapper...

 So
#3871 posted by nitin on 2010/12/10 11:40:01
is Stalker SOC meant to run like total shit or is there some performance tweak I cant find?
GTX465 that's had no issues with anything else so far, including CoD MW1 and 2, but maybe this is a real resource hog?
#3872 posted by negke on 2010/12/10 12:11:13
Did you install all of the gazillion of official patches?
This is probably a driver conflict. SOC ran fine on my old card, but I could never get the addon to work. It was always slow and unstable. No problems on the new card. Perhaps there's an older driver version or some hotfix/workaround that can make it work for you.
 It's On The Latest Patch
#3873 posted by nitin on 2010/12/10 12:14:57
1.0005 or something.
Will look into drivers, havent had to so far for anything else.
Witcher runs fine on max, will install Crysis/Warhead tomorrow to see how that fares.
 Try This (float 32 Mod Thingy)

Useful if it works for you. Also make sure you patch STALKER.
 Also CoD MW1 And 2
#3875 posted by RickyT33 on 2010/12/10 12:20:06
Are idtech4. Is that not basically true? They run good on old systems. I mean they are well made games, but they dont have bump-mapping or super hi-res textures or anything.
You should be able to run Crysis on very high with a GTX465, or Crysis Warhead on Enthusiast settings, and get 30fps :)
 Cod MW 1 And 2
#3876 posted by negke on 2010/12/10 12:47:29
Definitely not idtech4.
 Thanks Ricky
#3877 posted by nitin on 2010/12/10 13:03:03
will look at it again tomorrow. But will install Crysis first to see what performance I get there.
Witcher runs great though.
 Apparently IWEngne
#3878 posted by RickyT33 on 2010/12/10 13:30:37
Started out as idTech3! (after some more reading), but by now it is very heavily modified, to the point where it is a seperate engine in its own right.
 Supposedly
#3879 posted by Zwiffle on 2010/12/10 15:03:56
IW's engine is alright, but when Treyarch gets it for their games they tend to butcher things and break things that used to work, and just turn it into an awful series of unfortunate events. Makes me nervous when Treyarch releases 'tools' for Blops (whatever that means.)
 Yeah
#3880 posted by ericw on 2010/12/11 00:26:36
MW1/MW2 run great on my crappy nvidia 7600GT. Sadly, blops performance sucks on my system, not worth playing until I upgrade.
 It's Not Really Worth Playing Imho
#3881 posted by jt_ on 2010/12/11 01:48:57
Bullets don't kill people. Just play mw2 or a real FPS like q3,nexuiz/xonotic, oa, aa, &c.
