If you run a widescreen monitor, to get the correct Field of View (FOV) you can use this community-made Widescreen Fix. For more details and tips on resolution see this page of my Gamer's Graphics & Display Settings Guide.

The higher the resolution chosen, the more detailed the image but the lower the performance of the game. The options shown are restricted to those supported by your particular combination of monitor and graphics card. Resolution: This setting allows you to choose the resolution for the game, as shown in pixel width by pixel height. See the Advanced settings further below for details. I do not recommend using a preset as you will get much better results customizing the advanced settings individually to suit your own preferences. Quality Settings: You can choose from one of four predefined quality settings here (Minimum, Low, Medium, High, Maximum), which in turn will adjust the Advanced graphics settings (covered further below) accordingly. See the Advanced Tweaking section for more details of all these. For example you can use the r2_gi variable to turn on a more realistic (but FPS-draining) Global Illumination lighting method you can customize the appearance of HDR using the r2_tonemap_middlegray variable you can change how glossy surfaces appear under lighting using the r2_gloss_factor variable and you can add motion blurring by using the r2_mblur command along with the -mblur switch. The Lighting Distance setting also affects your FPS when dynamic lighting is enabled in large outdoor areas.ДЇurthermore, there are a range of advanced variables which can help you to customize the appearance of lighting in the game. If you've enabled NPC Flashlights and Dynamic Lighting for example, then at night or in underground areas, if there are multiple NPCs present with torches then this will noticeably reduce FPS. For example whether you've enabled or disable one or more of the Shadow-related settings (Sun Shadows, Grass Shadows, Shadows Quality) can have a major bearing on the impact of dynamic lighting. Importantly, while these lighting modes can affect performance greatly, the impact also depends on the other relevant settings you have enabled. Note that once again, HDR lighting is enabled by default if this mode is chosen and cannot be disabled.

This mode should only be enabled on high-end graphics cards. While this is very realistic, in areas with lots of complex objects or NPCs this can cause severe slowdowns. will all interact with the environment and cast complex shadows which constantly change as the light sources move. This can severely reduce performance on lower-end systems, because multiple light sources such as the sun, campfires, torches, etc.

Full Dynamic Lighting - In this mode, full DirectX9 rendering is enabled, include major use of dynamic lighting.

This mode is a good balance of performance and image quality, as even without dynamic lighting most of the benefits of DX9 rendering are visible. Note that High Dynamic Range (HDR) lighting will also be enabled automatically and cannot be turned off. In the Full Dynamic Lighting mode (see below) the tree shadow will be more detailed, and will move around and change shape as the sun moves.

For example look at a tree as the sun sets in this mode the shadow remains the same size and shape. Certain fixed objects such as trees or buildings will still cast shadows, but these shadows are not dynamically affected by light sources - they are fixed light maps. Most objects in the game world will not cast shadows. Objects Dynamic Lighting - In this mode, full DirectX9 graphics are used, however dynamic lighting is minimal, restricted only to the way your torchlight reacts with objects.This mode is recommended for everyone who cannot get STALKER to run smoothly regardless of anything else they try. In DX8 mode, basic Static Lighting is used, which requires far less graphics card power and hence provides much faster performance. Dynamic lighting is the realistic interaction of moving light sources with objects, causing them to cast accurate shadows for example. In DX8 mode, Dynamic Lighting is completely disabled, as are various special effects such as HDR. Static Lighting - While STALKER requires a full DirectX9-compatible graphics card to run, selecting this option switches STALKER to DirectX8 rendering mode.Screenshot comparisons of all three are provided above, and each is explained further below: The options include Static Lighting, Objects Dynamic Lighting, and Full Dynamic Lighting. Render: This setting determines the renderer used for generating the game's graphics, and hence has a major impact on the overall visual quality and performance in the game.
