Now the only problem with this solution is sourcing the EDITBIN utility that comes with Visual Studio (For those with VS, Find it in the VC98\BIN directory under the main Visual Studio directory).īCDEDIT is part of Vista so that's not a problem.
I believe it's slightly different in 64bit Vista (which I'm not running) but I'm sure someone can add to this post once that's been worked out.Ĭopy the XR_3DA.exe to a safe location (In case it all goes wrong)įor a command prompt (run with admin rights) You need to manually patch the binary using the Microsoft Binary File editor to large memory addressing and also adjust the boot parameters of Vista. when running in DX9 mode.įinally this afternoon a working solution! I've been playing for the last 2-3 hours without a single crash, I can save, running at 1920x1200 res with everything maxed.
Right-o, like alot of people I've been pretty 'annoyed' at not being able to play stalker without crashing to desktop in Vista every time I save, hit escape, etc.
