[QUOTE=Zozamex;17566326]All i have to say is: Mods and tweaks. Sure it would've been nice if they by now learned how to optimize the game properly because seriously both in clear sky and shoc there's mods/tweaks that improve both graphics and performance in a way that makes the developers look like they didn't even try. Okay a bit of exaggeration but you get my point, sooner or later there will be mods/tweaks as well for CoP.[/QUOTE] quoting so i can post something later.
[QUOTE=Xplodzion;17565967]4870x2, Core i7 920 OC'd to 4.2Ghz, 12GB DDR3 1866Mhz RAM That type of system getting 30FPS average in a game that's not even on its max settings is inexcusable, not to mention there's alot of much better looking games out there that run over 50FPS max settings on single 4870/GTX260 and Q6600~ like Batman AA and CoJ 2.[/QUOTE] Ha! Maybe you need proper drivers. I run the same system except only 6GB RAM and a GTX 275 and get 40-50 outdoors FPS on high. No less than that.
look at the pics I posted a few pages back. a 9400m running Shadow of Chernobyl on high @ 1280x800 getting 70 to 121fps and for both inside and outside. I'll post my my Clear Sky pics later, I get about 50 to 70fps o lb the same settings. I think both are well optimized and that CoP will run fine on my 9400m.

This article shows Clear Sky running on near maximum possible settings with many different cards, your card is weaker than the weakest cards in this benchmark.

calm down, no need to be a douche. and so what if it's on static lighting? the game still looks nice and runs perfectly fine. the dynamic lighting annoys me anyways, everything is too shiny.

probably because of time zone. they might be sleeping.

Who fucking cares 30 FPS is still playable God damn
[QUOTE=LE0N1;17568003]Who fucking cares 30 FPS is still playable God damn[/QUOTE] I can play on worse, Dawn of War 2 at 5FPS minimum :) 60FPS is overrated.

Hey Someguest / Neko, are the medkits and bandages still mappable to their own respective hotkeys, not the function keys? I'd have a hard time reaching to the F keys :(
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;17568219]Hey Someguest / Neko, are the medkits and bandages still mappable to their own respective hotkeys, not the function keys? I'd have a hard time reaching to the F keys :([/QUOTE] kinda you can bind the function keys on any key.

[QUOTE=Flaming Neko;17568269]find user.ltx and edit the sun border shit to 1. and i hate the low res textures when i high everything on high, bloody annoying.[/QUOTE] I did, but the shadow is positioned right infront of me. I remember having this issue in SHOC but never figured out how to fix it but after reinstalling a few times it fixed itself.
[QUOTE=SomeGuest;17568148] I have the giant shadow issue :([/QUOTE] I've had the same issue in Clear Sky. There's a way to fix it but it makes the shadows look lo-res as shit. A patch fixed it for CS...
Tried playing with the r2_sun_near_* commands?
With LURK I get white polygons whenever it rains, and the game crashes when I give Sidrovich the flash drive from Nimble. I can run the game comfortably on maximum but I get his weird glitch when it rains
Great, I'm not a WSAD'er anyway.
[QUOTE=SomeGuest;17568261]You can map them anywhere you want. And you can switch what items you want in the shortcut slots in your inventory.[/QUOTE] Yes! I have always keeped my healing items mapped to G and H for easy access. The F keys will go to antirads etc. [editline]09:04PM[/editline] [QUOTE=SAS0206;17568415]With LURK I get white polygons whenever it rains, and the game crashes when I give Sidrovich the flash drive from Nimble.

Hey guys, what's the closest thing to Oblivion Lost for Clear sky? Thanks in advance.
Gotta love the guy who thinks a chart showing FPS means anything. Playing with a 9800GT, Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 (2.8 dual core), and 4GB of RAM and I can run Clear Sky maxed out 50fps (on Dx10) nearly always constant. Them saying a 9800gt gets 14.5fps average is just full of lies. If I had CoP I would post my performance on that, but alas I'm in the US and don't have it. By the way, STALKERs graphics are just fine, in my opinion some of the best.
Which one do u suggest? CS ENhanced gets me back with it's ''Hunger''
I've been talking with Holden via PM and Steam and now I'm going to help with the official fixes.
[QUOTE=SomeFaggot;17569810]I've been talking with Holden via PM and Steam and now I'm going to help with the official fixes.[/QUOTE]Grats. :D
I'd like to ask a few questions about this game. -How big is the world? -Is it fun to explore? -Does the shooting suck? -Just how buggy is it? -Is it complicated?
[QUOTE=RichyZ;17570057]Yes Yes Without mods, pretty much With all patches, not much. No.[/QUOTE] How big is 'yes'?
[QUOTE=Whatsinaname;17570082]How big is 'yes'?[/QUOTE] They are kind of small. bit bigger then Imperial City in Oblivion.
[QUOTE=Zackin5;17570159]They are kind of small. bit bigger then Imperial City in Oblivion.[/QUOTE] So much much much more interesting though. And I'm sure they're bigger than that?
