Did you delete user.ltx?

of course i did, the game did not even start because of that. :)
i want to adjust options because of my system has really low specs.
did tried to tweak the user.ltx ended up lowering only the resolution. still improved game performance a little.
if you do not believe me check out the screenshot and please don't laugh.

The minimal requirements are:
Intel Core2Duo or equivalent AMD CPU around 2 GHZ Speed
2 GB RAM
NVIDIA 9800 GT, or equivalent ATI/AMD HD3000 SERIES vGA Card
20 GB Free space on HDD

And mobile videocards are not supported.

There will nothing really help unless you get a better PC (preferably).

If you're using DirectX 10 mode, try changing to DirectX 9.

And your system has really low specs, so that could be the reason as well.

it seems nobody really understands my little problem.
i CAN play the game, but you try moving around with a low fps.
this is because i can't click the options from Main Menu.
even after entering the game. hit Esc key than click Options = Crash.
so if anyone knows what to edit from user.ltx to lower them graphic details it would be really great.
and no, i do not have dx10, it doesn't work well with XP.

@Mesiah

Take a look at this thread. Sounds like a similar problem I had.

So it's everyone else's fault? Maybe you should explain it better.

alright than, double clicking S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Lost Alpha icon, game starts perfectly. after the game loads
i see this:
new game - works perfectly
load game - did not yet tried this
options - it crashes my game as you can see below in the picture.
credits - works
exit to windows - i click options to exit game. :)
i am using windows XP SP3
my system specs i posted in the previous post.
it would really help out if anyone can tell me what else i should add here to come to a conclusion.
today i have overwritten these files ui_repair_wnd.script and ui_mm_opt.xml and ui_mm_opt_video_adv.script. none of them helped out. i am not using any other mods or anything else.
just Lost Alpha game clean install.

Lost Alpha ver. 1.3001 this is the version i am using.

i guess nobody knows how to fix my little crash problem.
if that can't be resolved, than can anyone please give me some pointers in to what to decrease/change in user.ltx
so i can lower the graphics options.
i mean for real now, i played all versions of STALKER on this laptop. this one isn't that much different. :)

o.k...
first, running Lost Alpha on mobile card is not easy.
default settings - this game is a resource hog and brutal!
8gig ram, 680 sli, 4770K quad at 4.o Ghz, ssd... still struggling LOL

best option is lower resolution...

go here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Lost Alpha\appdata

open user.itx with notepad

at the bottom is the resolution setting.
try your desktop resolution, if still a problem, drop it down to 1024x768.

r_***** are all the video settings/options.

try turning off AA, AF, shadows, shafts, and HBAO.

good luck :wink:
i4770k Intel quad core at 3.6Ghz | 8gig 2400Mhz Geil TridentX
Corsair 120gig Neutron GTX SSD | Corsair AX1200 watt
Asus Maximus Gene VI | EVGA 690GTX
Xfi Fatality Titainum pcie | Win7 x64 Ultimate
