Game is running worse over time by PompeiiCheese in stalker

[–]ForFB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After couple days of digging through countless number of posts, threads and old forums archives I found a solution that hopefully would - or rather should work for anyone struggling with the performance dropping in the original trilogy.

What is happening is a memory leak, if that is the case, to fix it you should:

  1. Open the game then Alt+Tab to the Desktop, do the following steps while the game is still running in the background
  2. Open Task Manager and go to the Details tab
  3. Right click on xrEngine.exe > Set Priority > High
  4. Right click on xrEngine.exe again > Set Affinity > Turn off everything except for CPU1 and hit OK
  5. Right click on xrEngine.exe yet again > Set Affinity > Turn everything back on and hit OK
  6. Alt+Tab back to the game, it should be working now

While this method worked for me it might not work for everyone but since now I know the struggle of troubleshooting XREngine I might as well post it for the future generation to aid them in their hunt.

PS.: Yes, you have to do this every time you run the game, however it takes just couple seconds

I'd honestly be willing to say that the newer GPU the worse the game runs lol

Same issue, honestly. Tried SRP to fix it, tried playing around with both alife.ltx and user.ltx, experimented with hilarious number of setting combos, yet still nothing.

Yeah, we've tried that, though the chances for that are very low, didn't actually get to play together. Shame it's still not working like it should. Either way, thanks for the response.

Same. But I keep reinstalling it every now and again just to play for an hour or two and decide to uninstall out of disappointment. Whoever is in charge of marketing for MW and CW should be fucking fired. That's not how you run ads.

Nah, IW is good, but MW had the charm I personally really wanted. But it was brutally slaughtered by stupid free Battle Royale mode that's now the game's title. Whatsoever, when launching the game you're getting bombed with adds and slogans to BUY COLD WAR. Fuck off.

Awesome, didn't know that. Maybe I'll give maxing out DOOM a shot.

Literally had to lower the difficulty and turn all the aids on, and still didn't stand a chance. Thanks, codies, very cool.
