    Yeah, I am in the same boat as Javier for the most part. I have had crashes, but with the such terrible performance its just not even playable!

    Fortunately I havent had any "real" crashes. But the problem I have consists in the game running smoothly then suddnely gos like 7 FPS, I go to options and without modifying anything click the "Use" button, when Im back in the game everything runs smoothly again for between 2-5 minutes, then the framedrop shows again. Im running Vista in a Core2duo 6420, 2GB RAM, Radeon 1950xt

    When I first started playing this game it crashed every time I tried to save. Then I discovered F6 (quicksave) and that seemed to be more stable so I was able to get past the newb area. Once I got to the second town the game became really stable for a few days but as soon as I zone north of the second city it starts crashing every 5-10 seconds and crashes everytime I try and save (even quicksave).

    Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I run Vista with a 2.6 dual core, an 8800gts, and 4 gigs of ram.

    This reminds me of Half Life 2. God that game had some serious problems when it first came out. I'm going to wait 3 months or 3 patches before considering this game... whichever comes last. :-) As a programmer myself, what I find really telling is the version of this patch. v1.0001. I mean, .0001? The game doesn't run on Vista, crashes all over the place on XP, and the best they can muster is a measily 1/100th of a minor point update? Wow. It's almost like they're denying anything really had to be changed in the code.

    I had no problems with this game!
    So I dunno if I should risk downloading the patch, as from what a lot of people have been saying; the game seems to be pretty unstable.

    Hope you guys all get it working ...it's a great game!

    Ah, im running windows xp myself. I think i may have found a solution...atleast it worked for me. Simply put it to windowed mode. i have it to where its basicly full screen except for the task bar on the bottom showing up, not bad really cause now i know what time it is. Ive had maybe...one random freeze now, im not sure why this would actually help anything but it has seemed to help me. But i still stand by my origanal thought as this game seems to be released with no testing at all.

    I still dont understand. Ive got atleast minimal requirements to run this, ran HL2 with only minimal problems. After proper install, got stuck in initial loading, just the mouse with rotating biohazard icon. After patch, restart system, still exact same thing, still havent seen a single frame of this game. Never had anything like this happen, and from what Ive read STALKER does require decent hardware to run but its graphics are not top of the line, so Im fairly certain its not my hardware, Im at a loss.

    Luckily this game does not crash for me, except for the fact that the background and everything else blurs in with the sky and it makes it nearly impossible to play. Does anyone know how to fix this damn sky-blur problem?

    I run this game at 1920x1080 resolution with all settings turned up as high as they'll go (no exceptions) on XP Pro x64. Never had it crash, never had it lag, I should check my framerates but it's nice and smooth so I would guess somewhere above 40fps consistently. Would there be any point at all to installing this patch for someone whose game apparently runs flawlessly? I don't mind losing my save, but from the sounds of it not enough has changed to justify the install.

    This patch is not working at all I am running Windows Vista Ultimate all my games run fine except STALKER. XFIRE does not install the game as a game to play under my games to play. I have tried everything I could imagine all sorts of paths to get it to work. No success yet. One other thing is THQ needs to fix the way the mouse movement is. It hesitates big time just as do the key commands on the keyboard. There is at least a 1 second delay in both the mouse movement and when you hit a key to have your person move. So here it is THQ lets get a real update that works please. Thankyou " Kryptonite" www.es4life.com

    The game works fine on xp, but will only work for a couple of minutes on Vista. A shame about the patch, i was looking forward to a major tweak......... Russian technology at it's best. "In soviet Russia computer games play you":-)
