This update is mainly to further address issues with the stalker creature:
- Moved/removed some of the spawn triggers for the stalker so that it is present in less areas.
- Further reduced the time the stalker searches outside of the vents to avoid waiting too long in safe locations.
- Optimised some materials in the 2nd graveyard area to improve performance.
- Removed a couple of small objects floating in the incorrect world.
To address the AMD issues - the 7800XT I ordered arrived today and I've been testing on that 2nd PC this morning. It looks like the latest driver update from AMD has resolved the crashes it was causing when launching the game.
The game should be now playable on AMD systems if you skip the shader compilation step.
Unfortunately skipping that step can cause some hitches when new shaders are loaded such as new materials or particle fx systems. I'll continue to work on this to try and resolve the driver issue with that step as well.
If you do still experience crashes on any card then please let me know in the discussion boards and I'll investigate as best I can.
Thanks for your patience and understanding,
Chris
