Official STALKER Call of Pripyat Feedback Thread

Because what's the point of playing in 3D if you have to make the game look like crap in order to do so.

Those are only the recommended settings. I always tinker with mine to see what looks best and adjust as necessary. I'm playing Call of Pripyat at DX10 level.

I wish I had a 3D-compatible monitor!

There are currently 4 LCD's and a couple of Projectors that are 3D compatible. The way that movies like Avatar have really captured the publics imagination. I'm really expecting it to take off in a big way.

By years end there will be dozens of TV's and Monitors that can accept 120hz imputes.

So it works in DX10 with most settings on high without having tons of graphical anomalies or other severe problems?

As long as you don't have the depth set to high, then yes it does. Most of the issues are with shadows. You can alter that by playing around with convergence and depth though.

Ok good to hear. What depth setting do you use for CoP? Do you have to change it in the Nvidia CP everytime you play a game which needs a different depth %? Or can it be set via game profiles so it remembers different depth % for different games?

Asking because I have the Nvidia 3D Vision and Alienware 23" 1080p screen coming soon and hopefully it will be worth it

I just got this yesterday, played a little bit in DX11. It doesn't seem like the in-game AA setting is doing anything as I am still getting jaggies galore in both 2X and 4X. I have my Control Center AA set at Adaptive MSAA and using a Box filter with the AA level on application setting.

Sounds nice.

Adjusting the depth is easy. It is on the back of the USB emitter. So you can do it on the fly.

ingame AA didn't work me in DX10 with my GTX295, had to enable it in Forceware control panel and turn SSAO off (otherwise it was a slide show).

But I know you guys are talking about your fancy new DX11 API

Maybe and maybe.

AS far as the game goes - it is the most polished and complete one to date.

spoilers are whited out, highlight to read. All very mild spoilers.

I'm 15 hours in (according to steam) and about half way through the Jupiter map. Even if you are not completing quests there is still plenty of artifact hunting to be done. I hunted enough artifacts on the 1st map to fully upgrade 3 weapons to "level 2" and buy an exo-skeleton which cost me 60,00RU.

However I couldn't run in the exoskeleton so it really wasn't suitable in the middle stages of the game. I'm getting some good dosh coming in from hunting artifacts around Jupiter and taking them back to the original map to sell to the trader.

The length of this game should really be determined by how long it takes for you to get bored exploring the zone, hunting and selling artifacts, upgrading weapons and ammo and suits etc. Because there is nothing that compels you to advance the main story unless you want to.

Certainly loving this game. And I quite like the voice acting it's a nice little quirk.

If I could take a leak, I'm sure someone would yell "Put that shooter away Stalker!"

p.s. why isn't this thread stickied? It's an unofficial official game thread!!

Man, this game is better then the other ones but it looks FAR worse... the worse aspect is the grass draw distance...
