So I'm having problems with STALKER running very jerky (lots of framerate hitches, almost completely unplayable at medium to high settings, 1400 x 900, with object dynamic lighting) on the machine listed in my signature (an Opty 165 @ 2.6Ghz). I watched my CPU Usage on my other monitor while playing the game and noticed that one core is completely maxed out while the other core is near 0% usage, so I think this may be the problem. STALKER's Readme specifically states that the game should recognize a dual core CPU natively and that it is actually one of the best ways to increase the performance of the game.
I'm running STALKER v1.0001, if that makes a difference. Anyone else having this problem? What did you do to fix it? I have not had to install any sort of "Hot fixes" for dual cores or anything yet because all of the games that I play work fine without them. Suggestions??
