Check the power supply is it adequate for your hardware? The games are good stress testers for any system.īSODs (or whatever color)? There are ways to find out the actual hardware or software component that hung up your system. Clear out the dust bunnies, maybe check the fans and insure the heatsinks are making good contact.

PC shutdowns? Your game might be overheating. The problem with a one-size-fits-all approach to solving game crashes is that there are many different causes. Presumably compatibility mode allocates only 2 GB of RAM to the game like older versions of Windows did and where Stalker behaved in a similar manner and should always be played with lower texture resolution. Maybe the games were unable to identify some stuff about your system (like your graphics card model or something about your CPU) outside of compatibility mode for some reason.Įdit: Also I think I know why the load times went to shit in compatibility mode. Supposedly the games write that file on first startup and use some information about your system to automatically come up with an adequate configuration. Makes me wonder whether the games failed to write the configuration file ("user.ltx") when not using compatibility mode. So the above fix might help you get the game up and running initially, at which point you can set your options and start a new game, but once this is done you need to reset the compatibility options again. Paddy: So I tried disabling the compatibility option I set before, and the game launched fine. This one fix worked for this one problem on my system, so I won't be surprised if it doesn't work for anyone else! These games have a plethora of bugs and there are numerous fixes to be tried for each.
This is where you can find them for each game: If you're launching the game from within Steam, you can apply the compatibility options directly to the game. It will most likely be selected for you already. Enable an additional option "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)" from the drop-down menu. The two options in question are "Run this program as an administrator" and "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings". You'll notice that two compatibility options are already ticked (at least they were for me!). Right-click the game shortcut and select Properties.

exe "has stopped working" and will indicate the xrCore.dll file as the source of the fault. exe would more often than not need to be terminated using the Task Manager, otherwise a Windows error message would appear, saying the.
My error logs for all of the games seemed to end at the point at which the xrCore.dll file was being initialised, stating "The specified module could not be found". When any of the three STALKER games are launched, the game will crash/hang/freeze at the splash screen or immediately after (when the screen turns black/full-screen, but before the intro movies or main menus appear).

It could very well be a problem specific to my own system and no one else's, but you never know!
This is a frustratingly-simple fix which worked for me, and I wanted to post it here in case other people are having the same problem.
