    Have you installed all the patches? They added quite a few bug-fixes and performance increases.

    Of course you can, how silly would that be that you can't. As long as you purchased the software their should be no problem.

    Seenas it's from Steam it's likely to be the latest version. The only thing I can suggest is reinstalling your graphics drivers and the game... :(

    by re-installing he means to uninstall the old drivers first and install the new ones. You might need to disconnect from the internet to prevent Windows from getting the drivers from Windows update.

    If you have STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl then there is a patch version 1.0006 but it is not available from the STALKER website, you have to look on the website that they use to host the patch files (Fileplanet or whatever it is called).

    I have not been able to get any of the mods, that players have made, to work though.
