Hi, can anybody tell me what to do about the crash to desktop with a message about CHW::UpdateViews? This seems to be graphics driver related. I am using an RX580 with driver 19.something (the last one to date) on LA DC 1.4007 with no additional mods and can provide the automated bug report as well as a savegame with which the bug is reproducible. But my machine is not online so I cant submit the report online, instead I could send it via mail to someone.

Or is this already known and will be fixed with some update?

This looks very atmospheric, and that is the most important aspect of a stalker mod imho! Can't wait to see the final version :-)

I can positively report that installing 1.3000 and then updating it with 1.4002 big patch solves the issue. I can even load my savegames from before and did not find any problems so far!

Apart from that I found out that at least on my machine it improves performance to limit STALKER LA to two CPU cores. Right click the process in Task Manager to set cpu core affinity or when it is already running or start via cmd batch and for example use "start /affinity 5" for core 1 and 3. This improves framerates by 30% on my machine.

Good hunting, STALKERS! ;-)

Hi dezodor, thanks very much for the answer. I'll try and reinstall the way you suggested :-)

Hi, I'm experiencing a graphics problem in cordon. Unfortunately I did not find a support forum (your webpage is down atm), so I'm posting it here. There are "laser beams" visible between wall lights under DX10 and DX11. This is how it looks: Picload.org The other endpoint of the beam to the right is a wall light in the underground.

I found out this is related to the setting "Sun Shadows" in advanced settings. When switched off, the laser beams disappear. But "Sun Shadows" switched on makes the game look much more vivid and beautiful, so in my opinion its a big disadvantage to have to deactivate it.

Is this a known problem? I am using a GTX 980 with driver 382.33 (the latest one) under Win 7 x64 and the latest version of STALKER LA.

Another stupid small thing is that when you're aiming down the sight and turn around slowly its jumping up and down in a non predictive way. That's a very irritating and it would be nice if this would be fixed. In combat it could cost a stalkers life ;-)

Apart from that I need to say that I REALLY appreciate the nice level design and the overall quality you put in this mod. So thank you for releasing this, it's a real masterworks!
