Due to the increasing amount of emails, we want to clear up a bit of confusion about some of these stability issues with the game ‘S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl’. The source of all these issues is not overheating, our drivers, hardware issues or anything else. The problem lays inside the game’s dynamic lighting renderer (DX9), and the only known workaround is to use Static lighting renderer (DX8) instead. You can stop emailing us now. However, You should
contact the game developers instead, and ask them to patch their broken game; and if you can do us a favor, please ask them to fix their Widescreen/OpenAL/Surround implementation as well. Благодарим Вы.
