Is there a way to run stalker Call of Pripyat on static lighting or dx 7 like the original stalker? or how can you run it on an hd 3200 integrated laptop card (most laptops come with this) and still make it playable?

I don't know about DX7 but you can probably run the game on an HD3200 just by lowering the setting to a minimum in the options.

jyjji, the thing is that the original stalker runs too slow on my system anything above 800x600 and I have to have lighting at dx 7 (static). Now I can run it at 800x600 at medium but this is the original stalker. Here is more information between the 3 different dx types for lighting:

IS IT ALSO POSSIBLE TO RUN THE NEW STALKER LIKE THAT (STATIC DX 7 LIGHTING)?

There was never any DX7 support in any of the games.
There is a DX8 static renderer (SoC), in CoP I think it is a 9.0b/9.0c renderer.

WHy dont they make these new games scale and playable on slow-older hardware? How hard would it be adding dx8 static renderer to the new stalker for anyone purchasing a laptop since almost all of them come with an hd 3200 or worse? Not everyone cares about or needs those new lightings and textures just let us buy the game.

I mean look at blizzard.

The HD3200 is in fact DX9 compatible you know.

but it runs real slow in it.
