Hey everyone.
My main computer is a bit old. To be exact I do have a:
Pentium IV 2.8 GHz
2 GB DDR-Ram
Radeon X800 GTO with 256 MB
Well I know you might call me a technological caveman,
but I still could play Shadow of Chernobyl acceptable fluid with it
and also various Valve games like Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2.
I bought Call of Prypjat one year ago and played it a bit. I noticed
that the performance worsened horribly and also that I lacked of the time to play.
I orignally played Stalker Shadow of Chernobyl in static lightning but later was capable of patching it to dynamic lightning mode by manually rescaling all the important textures of the game. After all, the only performance problem were high detailled parallax maps for me. The dynamic lights worked with no performance problems. Clear Sky then was a disappointment for me. While the prequires were the same as for Shadow of Chernobyl, a lot of new effects were built into the game which were hardcoded in a way so I wasn't able to make the game running smooth and having it decent looking at the same time. Not even with selfmade patches. However I finished the game since I was interested into the story.
Anyways, since there are already half a dozen of patches out for Call of Prypjat I'm wondering if the performance increased with those and if I should give it a try again?
Else I would consider to wait one year again and get a better machine then.
