I don't know whether you guys can help me with this but since these are the only forums I visit, I thought I'd ask here before going any other place. I just downloaded STALKER:SoC last night because I thought 'Hey, I haven't played that game in several years and I never got more than a few hours into it, so I should probably give it another shot.' So, I downloaded the game from my Steam account and it seems to be fine at first glance. It loads up without a problem but as soon as I try to do anything within the game, it freezes.
Change the resolution, it freezes. Attempt to change graphics settings, it freezes. Try to start a new game (this is a pretty big one), it freezes. I literally can't do anything other than look at the main menu without it freezing.
I've downloaded this game at least once before and I've never had this problem, so I was wondering if you guys had any advice? All I've tried to do so far is verify the game cache through Steam, which didn't fix anything. @Jrinswand said: My video card drivers are up to date, the game is version 1.0005, and I'm not downloading the Complete mod because the game is so buggy that the vanilla version of it already barely works on this computer. I decided to uninstall and reinstall.
I guess I'll see what that does. Oh, and it was saying something about an XR3DA.exe error, but I don't know what that is. The complete mod fixes bugs, specifically those to do with the X ray engine. The mod was partially made by one of the team who made the game itself. @SeriouslyNow said: @Jrinswand said: My video card drivers are up to date, the game is version 1.0005, and I'm not downloading the Complete mod because the game is so buggy that the vanilla version of it already barely works on this computer.

Also muuuch better graphics.
Hi, read through everything in the thread and tried out the stuff appropriate to my situation, still no luck running Railroads. Problem: Game loads fine, get the usual splash screens and music when starting a scenario. But before the game world is visible, Railroads will crash my ENTIRE SYSTEM. I'll get a few bars of the scenario music before the catastrophe inevitably occurs. Tried: switching off aero, adding the largeaddress header, and switching around every graphics option the game permits. Running: Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit on a Toshiba Satellite, dual core Intel, 2GB memory, Intel 945GM Express.
I can get the game running on an old XP machine I have-of course the game becomes unplayable and then crashes when there are about 10 trains on the board. Also, disabled the ridiculous auto-reboot for more info, but Vista seems to just kill the screen instead of greeting me with an informative BSOD.

In general I'd like to know how to get around that, too. Thanks in advance. First you Download the enabler file and unzip it. Leave this window open. Open up your computers Railroads file (startbutton-computer-c drive-program files-2kgames.
Than scroll down to the Railroads.exe file and copy it (control+c, or right click and click copy) 3. Open a command prompt at admin level. (start- type cmd on the search line with vista-right click command prompt-left click open as admin 4. Type cd c: this is where its goign to depend on your system: 5. For me it was cd c: users (username) documents 3gbenabler2 3gb enabler 6.
Next type editbin.exe /LARGEADDRESSAWARE Railroads.exe 7.once this is done go back to the 3gb enabler window and copy that railroads.exe file from there back to its original spot. BTW the 3gb enabler stays as its own file. You never put it into anything.you put the rialroads.exe file into it once unzipped.

Article: MS KB Article About Hotfix: Good Luck Guys, DF Ok, I just installed this hotfix and now, coupled with the.exe modified file as described earlier in the thread, I've been playing for about 2 hours with no crash at all.
You can't get the hotfix direct from Microsoft unless you call them, but if you do a Google search for the fix you can download it - though be careful to get it from a reputable site. Good luck, and thanks so much for your help.
