Yea, there is an article on Anandtech explaining this issue under Vista32.
It is caused by the effing DRM in Vista and has something to do with the
memory space it uses. I installed Stalker to Vista64 yesterday and won't
have this issue because it only happens on Vista32bit. I have 4gb ram
installed and all of it is addressable on Vista64. I have dual boot XP too
so always have that option. I'll tell you this. Anyone moving to Vista and
expecting good backwards compatibly can forget it. I can see myself dual
booting XP/Vista for a long time to come. If our games don't run properly on
the latest version of Windows then why do we need it? May as well get Linux
for free if it's going to be this way.
