I would attach the dump but this forum does not seem to support attaching files.

That's not because of the patch. Latest video drivers both from NVidia and ATI has major issues with many old games, like Diablo 3. So as with Stalker. You should downgrade your driver to 16.2.1 or copy dll from that driver into bin folder in your OGSE directory. Old driver dll you can find here: Www85.zippyshare.com

But Stalker-LA based on an older engine version has no problem. Why this?

I get 'The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)' when I click the configurator launch button.

I added old d4dx9 dlls_25,_34 and _42 as I read they might be the problem. MD5 check, reinstalled the game several times, no joy.

New install of Win7, new mobo, GPU and 10gb ram.

Anyone have any ideas?

Should be d3dx9 dlls

I found the DirectX Redistributable (June 2010) on cnet and it all works fine now - it looks beautiful!

Thanks guys!

Nope, they have another engine with DirectX 10 support.
