STALKER CoP Won't Load - "XRay 1.6 engine stopped working"

Any ideas? No matter what I do I can't get past the pick your difficulty screen.

Phenom X4 955 3.2ghz
Radeon 5850
4GB Ram
Windos 7 64bit

I get the same error too. I hope someone replies.

[edit]: I validated the steam files just in case, it makes no difference.

Sometimes it may hang during launch, simply close it.
You may need to check Task Manager to ensure it's not still running if you tried to launch it more than once.
Close xrEngine.exe manually and then launch it again.

Ensure your drivers & directx runtimes are updated.
Helps to defrag as well (for load times) but that wouldn't cause it not to launch.

also recheck the files using steams verifying

I had this problem too, just untick "Enable Steamcommunity In-Game" working fine here with a 5770 now.

Also you should disable any other type of program that hooks into the game ie. Xfire and Fraps or it will not load.

Not having FRAPS on worked. Thanks a lot

Once you get past the loading screen and in-game you can load fraps again and it works fine.

I verified my game files after getting this error and doing so seemed to trigger an additional 1.4GB download for CoP. I have no idea if it'll do anything but I'm guessing it's worth checking out if you had the X-Ray crash.

This worked for me too. Thanks for the help guys!

Yes "Enable Steamcommunity In-Game" pretty much needs to be turned off for all 3 STALKER titles since they don't support the overlay feature, least as far as I can remember. Thanks for reminder, I always forget about doing that.

That extra 1.4GB fixed the problem and the steam overlay works fine.
