I have the problem with the game cryostasis. When I switch on shader model 4.0 the view is displayed bad. There are distortions such as in thermovision glasses. Please Help.

My config:

PDC E2140@3.2GHz Geil 2x1GB Radeon 4870 Vista 32 BIT

No fox for the problem yet.
Wait for the new driver, or patch.
On AMD videocards only SM3 works.

Hello, I have the same problem like you. When I switch on Shader Model 4.0, I can see various kinds of colors. I have 4870x2 and the latest drivers. I wanted to make some screens, but Fraps or ATi Tools didn't capture image. So I grabbed my camera and took some photos:

You can see various kinds of colors. But, when I switch off Shader Model 4.0, everything goes OK, I don't see any colors.
One user told me, that problem is in PhysX and ATi graphics cards don't know how to work with it. So, we just hope in any kind of patch, who 'll repair this bug or wtf is it.

This problem with ATI cards is not fixed yet. Right now a can only advice to use shaders 3.0.

Yes, you right. I 'll be very happy when they release any kind of patch, who 'll repair it, because play on SH 3.0 is excruciation for my graphic card.

It's a real shame the ati artifacts using SM4.0 aren't still fixed. 3 months after the russian release and still no fix whatsoever.
What's up with you devs? Don't you see it?! As if you're not trying to solve the problem, as if you're not even trying to support your game anymore. Is it because you're lazy or NV pays really well?:cool:

When I re-installed DX10 the crashing stopped for me, but the distortions remained.

ATI Catalyst Drivers 9.2 doesn't solve the problem with SM 4.0. I already have installed drivers 9.2 and I still have problem. I see those motherf**king colors again and again. We can again wait on some kind of patch as till now.:mad:

The difference between SM 3.0 and SM 4.0 isn't really noticeable...

lol... There is quite a big difference between SM 3.0 and SM 4.0. Do you want to see that difference ? Check this screens (SM 3.0 on the left and SM 4.0 on the right):

The top ones I can accept, but I never got the drastic difference of the bottom ones.

:evil:

But the discussion here its not if really theres notable differences between SM 3.0 & 4.0 the problem here its why the people from 1C having knowledge of some problem dont try to solve it, more frustate its why using the patch we have crash, if we dont use the patch the problem its the colors, so whats the point of use the patch if we cant solve the problem....

This is ridiculous!!! I ran the whole game on SM3.0 and SM4.0 on a 4870 and SM3.0 looks no where as bad as they do in your screen shots...you running SM3.0 with low texture resolution or something? In fact, playing the game after seeing your outlandish post I compared the two and in my eyes there are literally no differences WHAT SO EVER!

FAKE PICTURES!!!
