pc-specs

[heavy parcel]

And I don't think it's going to kill Stalker 2, I just think it wasn't a good move. The only reason companies use it is because unreal devs are a dime a dozen for temp labor.

[waxen furnace]

anyone using rx 5700xt to run this game, please share your graphics settings

[fickle matrix]

It's driving me mad, too. Not just Slop Engine 5, but gaming performance in general all relying on meme scaling and frame gen

[surreal crag]

if they dont fix performance for xbox and pc in like a week this game ded

[drifting wren]

its more the performance/hardware requirements are a annoying, path traced cyberpunk is less demanding than non-raytraced UE5 at times.

[heavy parcel]

I will never use DLSS or FSR or any ai-upscaling slop, it looks notably worse and that telltale "shimmer" it has always gives me a migraine. Give me native res any day.

[surreal crag]

we should not rely on nexus modder for good performance wtf devs do your job

[raw latch]

The fact that minimum specs are with scaling blows me away….😪

[drifting wren]

which ue5 version is stalker 2?

[fickle matrix]

I wish I could for S2 but I play at 1440p and drop below 50 in the starting town with that crap off. On my hardware it's unacceptable

[surreal crag]

im not sure but i think the shittiest one LMAO

[heavy parcel]

They need to have a seperate spec sheet for AI upscaling and without, because running at half-res with horrific latency and interpolation should NOT be the reccomended spec

[raw latch]

Jedi survivor all over again lol

[royal portal]

I thought I saw someone say 5.1 and current UE5 is at 5.5

[heavy parcel]

It's the same with almost every UE5 game unless they have stylized or notably below-average graphics.

[drifting wren]

half the problem is epic pushing out unusable UE versions, I think ue5.4 and ue5.5 fixed much of it but the enginne doesn't make upgrading versions simmple

[surreal crag]

bro even tarkov has better fps then this LMAO

[heavy parcel]

I've tried to work with unreal engine for VR development but it's such a mess for version migration that it's no wonder most games release on very old versions of the engine.

[polar ferry]

I feel like a 30 series card should be able to handle epic after some optimization

[surreal crag]

i never had to use dlss performance until now stalker 2, i was always on dlss quality or native

[polar ferry]

Does performance help a lot with fps?

[ancient jacinth]

Hey so I’m running on a 2070 and ryzen 7 2700x, and the moment I booted the game up, it’s now completely froze, my entire pc is frozen wtf

[sleek hound]

Im out here playing stretched like this is counter strike, with fsr performance enabled as well, and im still stuttering 😂

[heavy parcel]

It does at the cost of it making your screen look like it was smeared with vaseline and text being unreadable.

[raw latch]

Yeah…..my rig is starting to feel dated with these ue5 games. Idk if anyone played bodycam but it’s very similar performance issues

[ancient jacinth]

Great now my entire pc rebooted itself, man I gotta sell my kidney for a 4090

[surreal crag]

imagine this was a multiplayer online game with like different ppl in servers playing as stalkers meeting up with eachother in game, ooo god that fps would be 2

[sleek hound]

download performance mod

[raw latch]

Might as well go to the real Chernobyl🤣

[polar ferry]

That helped me as well, personally

[heavy parcel]

Won't even help much to get a better gpu, UE5 chokes to death on basic thread processes that won't be solved until consumer CPUs are running at like 7ghz

[tidal flicker]

I'm running an i9 14900k and an OC 4070 ti and I'm pulling a consistent 80+fps on 1440p no issues

[ancient jacinth]

Yeah fair enough, but man you reckon modding tools will help with the ue 5 performance issues?

[late ferry]

crenoxe has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[heavy parcel]

Kinda like I was saying, 7 gigahertz

[ancient jacinth]

I mean like ue5 is still relatively new

[polar ferry]

I've still got CoP to finish, so I can wait some for optimization.

[sleek hound]

Someone on nexus mods already made a performance, people said it worked, I also downloaded it, but still gotta see what I find

[surreal crag]

im srry but if the biggest streamers on twitch are complaining about the game with there 4090 double pc setup then the optimization is nowhere near close to being good

[heavy parcel]

UE5 is basically still early access, people shouldn't be releasing games on it yet.

[ancient jacinth]

Damn already that’s crazy, yeah true, I remember Arkham knight, it was released on unreal
4 but the amount of details and assumption of the tool by the devs were insane

[bronze turtle]

hello, quick question to anyone who has modded their stalker 2, do i need to have the mod folder named "mods" or "~mods"?

[torn fern]

For anyone getting the 887a0006 crash, try disabling DLSS. I was getting it a couple times an hour, then turned off DLSS and have been playing for like 4 hours with no crashes.

[drifting wren]

epic don't seem to care, the engine is for consoles and everything should target 30fps seems to be how they think

[median wharf]

I average 100 fps on epic with a 3070 ti. Just gotta get the settings perfect

[heavy parcel]

Yep, even though current console generation were sold as 120fps machines there's been like zero games that run above 60.

[tidal flicker]

☝️☝️☝️

[heavy parcel]

Are you on epic or are you settings perfect? what did you turn down. That's not epic anymore.

[surreal crag]

the only unreal engine game that works is fortnite tbh all the rest is bs and not good

[drifting wren]

it's weird though PC market is bigger than consoles these days, epic have been fixated on consoles ever since the xbox 360

[median wharf]

Also with the optimization mod I was able 120

[ember hearth]

Is that from just ingame settings or ini tweaks?

[lone bluff]

Dawg are people still complaining when we all know that pc can’t run this game for shit rn

[polar ferry]

Turn down shadows, that made me go up from 4 fps to 70

[bronze turtle]

.

[vapid bane]

I have 7800 XT, playing ultra settings 1440P, average 110-150 FPS with FSR3 set to Quality, and frame generation on. Game looks fantastic

[heavy parcel]

It's not even that PC is struggling its that the engine struggles with basic physics and AI, it can't be scaled up to the NPC numbers we had way back in 2008 on X-ray

[median wharf]

Ing. All I’ve changed is the render stuff to DLSS and turned FSR3 on. Playing in 2k

[lone bluff]

I can’t fathom the amount I’m disappointed rn

[heavy parcel]

It's basically machine agnostic it's an issue with the engine not people's builds.

[polar ferry]

I'd like to know this as well

[raw sleet]

same problems with the robocop game that uses ue5 too

[surreal crag]

DEVS STOP USING UE5 PLEASE

[vapid bane]

Easier said than done, kind of late for that xD

[weak night]

~mods

[polar ferry]

Nvidia says my system can run it at epic, so I'm assuming it's an engine issue

[heavy parcel]

Also, new issue, if I sit in the menu for longer than like 15 seconds after shader compile completes, the game crashes. I have to hit resume really quick and then it works.

[surreal crag]

what engine was the older stalker games? anyyone know

[drifting wren]

the problem is it's that or unity, choice for game engines is grim at the moment

[bronze turtle]

x-ray engine

[median wharf]

I just turned FSR3 and some other shit on. With that logic turning motion blur off wouldn’t make it “epic” anymore

[heavy parcel]

X-ray engine, GSC made it back in the day.

[surreal crag]

i like the battlefiend engine one, that looks good and well optimized

[polar ferry]

Memory leaks?

[drifting wren]

it's dreadful in deadspace remake, even worse than ue5

[heavy parcel]

I mean FSR will double your frames at the cost of looking like dookie to anyone with decent vision, so that's why.

[vapid bane]

I would have loved to see the game built on Northlight engine, with real time physics

[paper kite]

do u guys think the fps will be better after the patch? i hope i can reach 70-80fps without the framegen, that thing increases inputlag so much

[surreal crag]

isnt frostbite a good engine? the one that battlefield uses

[heavy parcel]

Frostbite? Or byte? whatever it was. It was good, yeah. Handled large maps and physics well.

[royal portal]

I get the same issue on a 3070 ti with a 5800x

[median wharf]

Ok I might genuinely be legally blind in my left eye but no need to call it out

[ember hearth]

Don't think EA allows non EA devs to use Frostbite.

[valid compass]

Al final sí, miré y sí, mi GPU estaba casi al 100%

[surreal crag]

yea they shouldve just used that, im not sure if that works but yea

[vapid bane]

FSR on 1440p/4k, quality, looks quite good. 1080 P, or set to performance, agreed. Dookie

[heavy parcel]

Lol, I have better than 20/20 vision and am more sensitive to little visual issues than most, I can still see individual pixels on a 4k screen from 10 feet away so I know my hate for AI upscaling is mostly a me problem. Just can't get past it.

[drifting wren]

EA exclusive you cant license it

[surreal crag]

hmmm gotcha ok

[quiet trellis]

Just should have stuck with ue4

[rich coyote]

good thing you arent illegally blind

[median wharf]

Eh I’m like that with FPS and motion blur and field of view which you CANT SHUT OFF FOR SOME REASON?!? Like that shit genuinely makes me sick to look at

[raw sleet]

yeap.. with a dx11 option as well

[ancient jacinth]

just cirious, i don't much much about game development, so if a dev were to optimise a game on ue5, how would they go about doing it?

[paper kite]

yeah.....too late now, we should be able to play the game at medium settings 60fps min

[drifting wren]

port it to ue5.5 basically

[heavy parcel]

Most engines can't handle the scale of physics and AI and world persistance that GSC needs to make a stalker game, unironically a better choice would have been Creation Engine from Bethesda. Midwits always say they need to change engines but no other engine is actually capable of handling their style of game.

[raw sleet]

they could have improved upon their own engine (but maybe all the original programmers are gone.. so maybe not)

[ancient jacinth]

i might sound stupid but what about the engine used in doom eternal, i noticed it is the only game you get such high fps

[surreal crag]

yea they shouldve just kept using xray engine, why they stopped on it

[heavy parcel]

The 500 cheese wheels you dropped in Dragonsreach? UE5 would crash from those, while creation engine will remember them your entire playthrough.

[vapid bane]

I will say. At least in MY experience, one of the best running DX 12 games I have played. SCP 5k, Fortnite, RDR2, SoTR, all run so much worse than STALKER 2 on DX12

[quiet trellis]

Hell no, that engine is ancient bro. Just use ue4. Anything else is a wrong choice

[drifting wren]

too hard with console releases probably given the work conditions they're under

[surreal crag]

the only good game on unreal engine was black myth wukong for this year

[quiet trellis]

Xray engine had alot of bugs and quriks to it

[heavy parcel]

Unreal engine is just as old. All engines are like 20 years old at their core. Bethesda just updated theirs for their needs, while Epic updated theirs for the needs of lowest-common-denominator linear campaign style games.

[surreal crag]

damn silent hill 2 was on ue5 too, that was good tho

[median wharf]

Absolutely not their engine is complete and utter dogshit. Would rather use Roblox studio

[ancient jacinth]

damn i mean, they should really focus on engines built for pc as well since pc has become really popular

[quiet trellis]

Yeah but unreal engine 4 isn't that old. You forgot the number 4. Xray hasn't been updated at all

[sleek hound]

Mod is really helping me out so far bro

[paper kite]

what mods are u using?

[ancient jacinth]

aight, i just installed it so i'm just waiting for the shaders to compile

[drifting wren]

I get less FPS in starfield than S2, the engine is also terrible lol. Elden ring engine is also horrific but people love the game

[sleek hound]

dm

[visual terrace]

this is one of he best optimized games this year. runs like a champ on my pc

[next inlet]

ok hope this works 😦 becuase i really like stalker 2 i was having alot of fun

[median wharf]

Elden ring capped at 60 fps tbf tho they definitely just didn’t optimize the dlc well

[surreal crag]

yea right.. LMAO

[quiet trellis]

Im also curious what mod

[drifting wren]

I get drops to like 20fps on a 4090 in elden ring sometimes

[novel wagon]

licencing issue and its discontinued
shame, it didnt blur everthing with TAA

[surreal crag]

i really like that engine, battlefield 1 still my fav looking bf game

[heavy parcel]

I'm a game dev man, and tester, I know how engines work, they're all old jank with 20 years of spaghetti-code backing them up. It just matters what the makers of the engines have focused on as they update the engines. Creation has just as much work put into as Unreal, it's just the work was more focused on massive open-ended games, while UE devs have focused on making the prettiest single-corridor 6 hour long campaign style of games that are glorified tech-demos.

[ancient jacinth]

i don't understand why devs are heavily relying on dlss and fsr, even with a 4090, it struggels to run 1440 or 4k at 60fps with it

[median wharf]

No shot. In the big 24 my frames r extremely stable across the map

[drifting wren]

Collab with 4a games would have been the best, the metro engine is great

[quiet trellis]

Sounds like your pc running like shit

[visual terrace]

i use a 4090 OC, and a 7950x3d and i dont really run into performance issues. the only issues i've seen is a weird RGB shimmer effect during cutscenes

[ancient jacinth]

isn't metro heavily inspired by stalker?

[surreal crag]

i think smooth 4k gaming we are not there yet, 4090 struggles

[novel wagon]

yeah it actually runs great and looks competetive

[median wharf]

How so?

[surreal crag]

or the fallout series game engine maybe, that couldve worked too

[sleek hound]

I got no clue how this game performs shittier than escape from tarkov on my 1660 😂

[ancient jacinth]

it's been 7 minutes already and game is still compiling shaders bruh

[royal portal]

Anyone else running a 3070?

[heavy parcel]

smooth 4k gaming was there years ago, with the nvidia 2000 series graphics cards. Devs just used up the breathing room to be lazy instead.

[visual terrace]

modern games need modern hardware

[surreal crag]

that what im saying LMAO nikita buyanov i appreciate your game more now hahahah

[ancient jacinth]

na, modern hardware requires better software

[sleek hound]

Not really true bro, most games are still runnable with my 1660, im talking about 100 fps

[vapid bane]

I ALSO WANNA SAY, THIS GAME USES 12 GIGS OF VRAM AT 1440P, if yall have less than that, could be part of the problem. Not actual rasterization. 7800 XT 16Gb for the win!

[ancient jacinth]

yeah i 'm cooked lol, my 2070 only has 8 gb vram

[lone bluff]

The recommended for this game is 32💀

[royal portal]

Dunno if that’s really true given they recommend a 3070ti for High and that has 8

[vapid bane]

Ram, not VRAM

[median wharf]

Fair nuf. Nothing will allow me to forgive Bethesda for what they’ve put me through with their games tho. I refuse to ever play one again with how shit it is to try and play literally ANYTHING.

[novel wagon]

okay I tried to force the game to turn off nanite
instacrashes

[lone bluff]

Oh my bad misread

[vapid bane]

ur good

[ancient jacinth]

my brother in anomoly, the game is still compiling shaders lol

[heavy parcel]

Vram budgets have been devoured in recent years. I used to play Planetside 2 on near-max with PhysX enabled. with my 550ti lmfao. hundreds of players and vehicles in a single battle, high res textures, explosions and tracers everywhere.

[surreal crag]

bro how is nexus mods faster then the official devs LMAO

[ancient jacinth]

so it's basically, more modern hardware, = lazier devs

[heavy parcel]

Oh you can dislike their games as much as you want, I have my complaints too. Just saying their engine is undeniably really good at what it's meant for, and in my opinion would have worked better for Stalker than Unreal has.

[surreal crag]

they actually put out a hotfix for stutters and fps improvement

[vapid bane]

as a problem that encompasses everything art or media related. Better hardwar -> Better AI -> Lazier Devs, artists, musicians, writers, etc.

[midnight maple]

on my system it use only 8 gb vram on 1440p with most on epic only some shader settings on high

[drifting wren]

the loading is completely cursed, loading screens for every building

[ancient jacinth]

oof, i highly doubt if 'quantam computing' can run crysis at 8k 60 fps lmao

[vapid bane]

Maybe its my FSR with frame gen using up more than you then

[surreal crag]

i wish every game engine was rockstar games engine, they have such a good engine bro

[midnight maple]

i also use..but fsr is on quality

[heavy parcel]

True, but the loading is like sub 1 second in almost any situation, the problem is that they don't bother to hide it with an animation or anything like most studios do.

[vapid bane]

ah same

[drifting wren]

the star citizen mutant cryengine fork is amazing when the game isn't self destructing due to server side issues

[ancient jacinth]

my only problem with rdr2 engine is the limitation of vulkan, espeically with using upscaling mods

[midnight maple]

mabye its like the phenomen on some games with ram...how more oyu have...more it will use :D^^

[royal portal]

Anyone running a 5800x? What’s your experience been

[surreal crag]

aaah devs just be quick and come with hotfixes and improvements thats all i want

[vapid bane]

Most likely that FS. Like more ram you have more windows uses LMBO. I've seen it around 8 before, 12 was just the highest I noticed it

[royal portal]

Probably gonna take them a month to update the game.

[midnight maple]

i run on only r5 5600...so i think wiht your cpu its good to play

[vapid bane]

UE5 loves lots of fast cores. I have 7600X, works great. You should be all set

[heavy parcel]

"Starengine" is real frickin cool man, I am love/hate with star citizen as a game but they have definitely pulled some cool stuff off. The planets are great, The problem they have is that they run almost all of that server side, modern computers couldn't save that much data, the game would be terabytes just for the download let alone save files if it were all local.

[royal portal]

I must have to start a new save then. Cause I have some issue with performance dropping like mad after getting to the first town

[median wharf]

Do u know why they tie their physics to FPS? I don’t think it would be a limitation of the engine cuz ik u can mod that shit in. Or is it most likely a design choice

[upper quail]

whats your gpu

[vapid bane]

This is normal, no need for a new save. my FPS halves

[heavy parcel]

First town just eats about 20 frames, nothing to be done about it.

[midnight maple]

7700xt

[drifting wren]

the graphics are great in the FPS environments and you can traverse crazy distances without loading

[royal portal]

I’ve gotten down to 10 or below. Like I don’t think that’s normal

[surreal crag]

155 gb of download and not even optimized btw... LMAOO, it really is a bloated mess stalker 2

[upper quail]

Nice! do you experience any fps drop?

[vapid bane]

Are you using Frame gen, or FSR/DLSS?

[midnight maple]

i can play...for me its ok atm...can be better...but works but my cpu is overclocked

[royal portal]

Framegen with dlss DLAA

[surreal crag]

bro rdr2 is not even 155 gb

[heavy parcel]

That has been uncoupled actually since they did the VR ports of fallout 4 and Skyrim. There's also mods to undo it for older games. I don't /believe/ it's tied to FPS for Starfield but if it is it's very easy to fix. The problem was that they used a really old version of Havok, a third party physics engine.

[upper quail]

Is FG + DLSS cause of the frame drop to 2-10fps?

[visual terrace]

i think its unfair how they made a amazing game thats being held back because people dont want to upgrade their rig

[heavy parcel]

Oddly enough though, loading speed IS tied to FPS in their games and the default lock to 60 fps slowed down loading a lot, but a mod that disabled the fps lock only during loading screens cuts load times down to like 1/8th in fallout 4.

[royal portal]

That’s what I wonder. I’ve heard some say upscaling is being weird. But then with High settings 1440p I then have sub 40fps.
I suppose that’s better than a slideshow

[surreal crag]

4090 struggles btw

[near oriole]

Should I just set the paging file for the drive Stalker 2 is on? Or should I do one for all 4 drives I have?

[vapid bane]

No, it would be even worse without most likely. What settings are you running?

[sweet moss]

is it just me or does the anti aliasing do nothing at all?

[heavy parcel]

The issue isn't people's rigs man, it's Unreal Engine. It's easy to work on but almost impossible to make run well with open world games.

[surreal crag]

a 4090 should not be using upscaling method to get over 100fps, that should just be in native

[fleet burrow]

Bruh. Well I guess I’m waiting for devs to patch that then before I buy it. From what I read it happens like every 45min-1h. That’s awful

[midnight maple]

i noticed that too between high and epic i see no difference others i doesnt try till yet

[heavy parcel]

I've noticed the same. No matter what I set it to, FPS doesn't change, and everything is still shimmery and covered in jaggies.

[drifting wren]

UE5 has no reall AA does it?

[royal portal]

Upscaling will have that effect as well

[sturdy wasp]

rtx 3050 ryzen 7 6000 series 24 gb ram gettting virtually no fps on all minimal settings and dlss and fsr on

[vapid bane]

High with Epic Textures is goated

[surreal crag]

btw if i limit my fps in game it still goes up higher then what i put it on, thats also a bug

[heavy parcel]

A lot of built-in UE5 graphics options just don't work with antialiasing at all, I don't think it's been fixed by the guys at epic yet.

[median wharf]

The little bit I’ve played of both fo4 and Skyrim I had to download FPS Physics fixes. It genuinely seemed like such an ez fix I never understood how they never thought of just making it a part of the game especially if it improves loading times etc.

[vapid bane]

Frame generation? If I limit to 60 I get 120

[upper quail]

Im currently playing with High settings. R5 5600 + 4060 Ti . 1080p reso

[royal portal]

Frame generation will ignore frame caps in my experience

[midnight maple]

so you play all on high and only epic textures and its good or what do you mean?

[heavy parcel]

It's a product of age and being made primarily for consoles that run at fixed framerates anyways, yeah. It should just be a default for the PC versions of their games.

[vapid bane]

High + Epic textures, is 99% of the quality of Epic, but you get some free FPS

[midnight maple]

i give it a try thx

[heavy parcel]

Newest versions of frame gen should generate as many frames as they can, but still only display your set framerate, is it not doing that?

[manic kraken]

can you cap fps without using v-sync on an amd card?

[vapid bane]

Your lighting and stuff, might not be quite as good, but the things that bother most peoples OCD, is the textures, or jaggedness. Epic textures makes everything look clean.

[royal portal]

I mean I have it set to 60 ingame but then with frame gen on it’ll go towards 100

[vapid bane]

Yes, i think its Radeon Chill in the AMD adrenalin software. DM me I can help you

[midnight maple]

atm i have all on epic ..only shading section on high..but i noticed it looks also good when not all is on epic so i give you settings a try ...why not..when i gain some more fps for the moment

[manic kraken]

ive given chill a try but the game doesnt care and exceeds it. same problem i have with fallout games

[velvet ocean]

anyone knows when theyll drop the hotfix ? game is unplayable

[heavy parcel]

What are you using for your frame counter?

[median wharf]

Hopefully now that Bethesda is owned by Microsoft they’ll force them to come into the 21st century with their games. I was excited to hear that Starfield even had an fov slider

[manic kraken]

i use the steam in game counter

[frigid wolf]

Like i know my PC in kinda old, but it’s better one than reccomand, and it’s work like shit xD

[drifting wren]

MS is even worse, they crippled an entire gen of games with the xbox s lol

[median wharf]

P sure they’re just focusing on pc atp

[royal portal]

My question to people continuing to play is why play when a life is broken. Doesn’t that pretty much make stalker what it is

[fleet burrow]

That ain’t old lol. Rtx 4070 came out last year, those are reccomended specs for gpu

[sturdy wasp]

anyone who has a 3050, do not buy this game

[vapid bane]

I remember the game having a built in FPS Limiter. I have mine set to 120.

[frigid wolf]

In reccomand you have 2060/4060, i have 3060ti which supossed to be like 3-5% better than normal 4060

[velvet ocean]

same , games running like shit tho

[vapid bane]

Anyone who has 3050, I am sorry for you. You got railed by Nvidia

[manic kraken]

thats also part of the problem i have, when i set it too 120 it just goes past it. im hoping this will get fixed

[midnight maple]

@vapid bane what fps overlay do u use ? atm i use from amd ..but i think its not the best^^

[drifting wren]

nvidia low VRAM is making their cards obsolete early

[frigid wolf]

Soo im playing in like lowest settings in 1440p and it’s reminds me of old stalker but in the bad way

[heavy parcel]

And you have the max framerate set in game? Vsync on? Steam will display as many frames as your GPU is producing but your monitor will only use the most recent. In the case of AI upscaling like DLSS this will be the "best" frames.

[velvet ocean]

feels like tho playing with the settings does shit

[vapid bane]

Frame gen makes it go up to double what you set it. Make the FPS limit in game, half of how many you want

[heavy parcel]

If your refresh rate is higher than set framerate it might ignore you though.

[frigid wolf]

Let’s overclock then
Why my PC is burning
Oh no
OH NO

[sweet moss]

does anyone know how much public testing this game had or did they only have internal testing?

[velvet ocean]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-hello-elmo-rise-elmo-hell-gif-3989603362345473118

[heavy parcel]

Games now get much uglier on low settings than they used to, that's for sure.

[manic kraken]

well i was avoiding v-sync because of input delay but ill give it another try

[proud fulcrum]

anyone els have the game freezing the whole pc and crash after long play?

[manic kraken]

oh ok i didnt know that, ill give it a try

[heavy parcel]

Try it out for a bit and just let me know if that effects the number you're getting from the steam overlay.

[fleet burrow]

Game has a memory leak. Could be what’s causing it

[vapid bane]

I use AMD one, but i fine-tuned it to show what I want, and not the stuff I don't care about]

[frail mural]

playing with a 2070 super/5800X3D. game runs at medium/high with DLSS on Balanced at about 50-80fps at 1080p

[proud fulcrum]

like i had to hard reboot

[vapid bane]

One reason game can freeze up that I have figured out, is if you alt-tab between programs. Do it a few times in the course of a minute or so, the game WILL freeze. Task manager time...

[fleet burrow]

Memory leaks can cause that. Did you ever have a sudden drop in frames?

[frigid wolf]

I Remember when i had 1050ti and i overclock this one with no knowledge how to do it, i spent like 6 hours doing some magic stuff just to play Witcher 3 in 60 fps. My PC crashed like 10 times and it was hotter than your crush form highschool. But it works, soo i guess i have to do it once again

[heavy parcel]

2070 super but with 3700x, game is CPU bound, you should be able to turn off DLSS and still get similar frametrates.

[midnight maple]

ok nice...one question again sry :D, what driver do u use ? i had the 24.8.1 till yesterday because the atm newest one 24.10.1 i had issues in other games..and yet i use the newest beta. i only ask because give also drivers a try..maybe there is a better one what someone use

[fleet burrow]

What are your frames? I have similar specs.

[vapid bane]

I also have 24.10.1. I also sent you DM, because the time limit between messages is killing me

[frail mural]

compiling shaders reminds me of the CD-Rom days. ngl

[heavy parcel]

60 in dull areas, 40 in dense areas, mostly medium settings some on high. 1080p. I have 32gb of ram at 3600mhz cl16 as well, game on a SATA SSD.

[delicate hazel]

can anyone help me optimize my pc for this game? I know the specs but dont really know anything else about computers and I learn better off of someone. If anyone would help I would be very appreciative.

Digital Foundry review. Looks like cpu bottleneck even in the wild

[frigid wolf]

My GF is sad af couse she bought me this one, she know i spent my life playing stalkers since i was like 6 yo, she wants me to have a fun with this one but it is hard when your game is working like my dad after 2 liters of vodka and few beers.

[frail mural]

Just expect some good patches yall, don't worry too much

[manic kraken]

hey so i was able to limit my fps to 120 instead of it skyrocketing constantly without v-sync. idk what changed but now it works so thank you!

[heavy parcel]

I've also messed with settings and put everything to minimum, lowered resolution, all that. It's the CPU that's struggling and that's mostly due to Unreal Engine 5. That work has to be done by the team at Epic, GSC won't be able to do much.

[frigid wolf]

Cdp fixed cyberpank like 2 years mate

[heavy parcel]

Yep that's the quirk of framegen, it doesn't respect framerate limits unless it's vsync, cause it's always trying to get the "best" frame possible so it makes more iterations that it will actually display on your monitor. Vsync is the only way to lock it.

[frail mural]

it got fixed and 20k people are playing it rn, I have optimism unlike most people

[lone bluff]

Patch gets dropped on the 29th right?

[thorny wraith]

So is there anything you can do for the decay on 13th/14th gen intel

[frigid wolf]

Wierd times, you spent some money and you are ok that stuff you got not working like it supposed to

[broken canopy]

The game works, just not the best. still playable imo.

[frail mural]

Weird that you're worried about what I choose to spend my money on, go cry.

[mossy elm]

Hardly weird times, that's been the routine for modern gaming for years. I don't like it but I'd rather get a poorly optimized launch w/ some bad bugs than no launch ever.

[digital hamlet]

does anyone have the issue where after they die and respawn game becomes 20 fps

[heavy parcel]

These issues, frankly, were predictable, could have been seen coming. They're almost all due to the engine which GSC doesn't have much power over, unlike CDprojekt who were using their own in house engine.

[lone bluff]

Everyone bro

[mossy elm]

No?

[digital hamlet]

been happening to me since i opened the game

[lone bluff]

A select few can run the game somehow

[frail mural]

Which is also why I've always liked CDPR, they've built their stuff from the ground up and I respect that, played all the Witcher games prior to CP.

[heavy parcel]

I actually haven't experienced this one. No notable performance change after death.

[undone iris]

I do and i change the language then it get stable again

[digital hamlet]

really you just change it to different language and then back to english then it works?

[frigid wolf]

Just sayin, don’t care about your money. I just tell the facts that ppl in this time are like „oh i got a game that have many problems? Oh i okay with that”. Imagine you working like shit and your boss is like „yoo man you killin it”. That is not how it works

[undone iris]

Try it out

[heavy parcel]

Well, have fear brother, cause they're switching to UE5 for their next projects lmao! It's the way the industry is going, cause it's cheap to hire temp workers that already know an engine instead of training devs for your own custom one.

[frail mural]

I'm not really complaining.... ? I'm just interested to see what others are experiencing.

[mossy elm]

1080 ti, i5 9700k, 32 gb ram and a Rog Strix 390e.

[digital hamlet]

i had 70-80 fps then i died and respawned it was 10-20

[vapid bane]

DM me

[delicate hazel]

did a patch come out sometime? I was playing and the frames where pretty good on medium and then this morning they were tanking like crazy

[digital hamlet]

Fr i wanna play it so bad but its frustrating

[heavy parcel]

Nvidia graphics driver update hurt my frames a bit, maybe it's that?

[frail mural]

No sweat! Welcome to modern gaming lol been on this shit since 93'

[shy terrace]

My game has had less stuttering so I am not sure

[frail mural]

If anything I know what broken games are lol

[delicate hazel]

I updated them recently

[heavy parcel]

It's a mess man, can't have shit in this corporate economy lol. Best telltale example is all the shit Halo Infinite went through in development, they fired everyone but leads at 18 months cause of taxes.

[digital hamlet]

Going back to menu fixed it LMAO

[frigid wolf]

Like i like this game, i see all of the goods in this game like gunplay, with is hard but done great, however I ain’t that happy. If i had to play in lowest in 60 fps i would be good with that, but this game hardly ever show me 60 fps

[shy terrace]

are you able to use dlss and frame gen?

[heavy parcel]

Back in the day you'd take 6 months to get guys up to speed on your engine and project but that's not economical anymore, need em cranking out cosmetics from the day they start, so you gotta hire guys that already know an off-the-shelf engine, and henceforth the engines are just made to be easy to start on, and not powerful for actual game making. Rinse and repeat.

[digital hamlet]

this game has serious optimisation proplems hopefully GSC will sort them out

[frail mural]

I used to play comp FPS games with less FPS, I'm not that pressed. But I completely understand why folks are unhappy rest assured

[frigid wolf]

I spent more time in settings than in game lmao. At the begging stalker gave me high settings, it Works in like 50 and droped to 4, i tried medium ones and same fps, on the lowest i have pretty same fps. No clue what is going on

[frail mural]

I think you guys have to understand that with modern game development, we the gamers are the guinea pigs. lol

[digital hamlet]

i entered a room and my game went b ack to 15 fps from 80 😦

[raw latch]

I’m getting real close to downloading anomaly or gamma XD

[heavy parcel]

It's amazing the framerates I used to stomach on my old 350 dollar laptop back in like 2010 lmfao. Couldn't do it now for sure.

[shy terrace]

yeah I am getting around the same fps on all types of settings aswell. I know turning npc hair to low helps in towns, have you tried turning off directional lighting I think its called

[velvet ocean]

i happen to make it work on 1440p , epic texture settings and couple of high ( we got the same gpu) i can send u a screenshot of my settings

[frigid wolf]

Understanding dosent mean we cant arguee with this

[frail mural]

Dudeee it was wonderful times. haha

[lofty totem]

you can probably have 3 full playthroughs of gamma in the time gsc patch the game to be stable (hopefully not that long)

[heavy parcel]

I remember being amazed at the Arma 3 alpha back then "how does it look this good?!?!? I can have battles with 100 dudes and still have 21 frames?!?!?!?"

[frigid wolf]

Sure id be glad mate

[velvet ocean]

give me a min ill dm ya

[frail mural]

This was me with AA (America's Army) and mfing Battlefield 1942

[heavy parcel]

What timezone are the GSC dudes in, Poland mostly right? I wonder what's the best time of day for them to actually read our feedback.

[sweet moss]

i could be wrong but for mouse sensitivity it feels like vertical sense is lower than horizontal?

[raw latch]

I mean it damn near looks the same with what smear I’m playing rn and it sure as hell will run better for a fact. I’m starting to convince myself…..

[shy terrace]

I am pretty sure they are located in prauge at the moment and it is 7:03 am over there at the moment

[heavy parcel]

MAAAAAAN, I used to play America's Army on my dad's work computer in the mornings before walking up to the bus stop.

[frigid wolf]

To be sure. I mean it’s wierd couse saying „oh okay, games today have problems, that’s normal right now” is like letting devs know that they can do that. If it was 2014 and some game work like this it would be such a problem for the devs. No everyone is like „oh we understand, that’s how it looks now soo don’t complain”

[heavy parcel]

Fond memories of MOH: Airborne from the dvd rental place.

[frail mural]

MOH was so good

[digital hamlet]

did anyone get it run stable on 4060 in 1080p?

[heavy parcel]

Should be no problem, as long as your CPU can hack it.

[digital hamlet]

it runs fine then shits it self every time my cpu can handle it

[heavy parcel]

Crashing then? Drivers up to date? How much RAM, and where is it crashing, or just randomly?

[digital hamlet]

no crashing drivers up to date 32gb ram it falls to 10-20 fps from 80s

this is the only UE5 title that does this

[heavy parcel]

Is that the after death thing or after like 20 minutes or so?

[digital hamlet]

it mostly happens after death then i went back to main menu and got into the game it was working fine then i entered a building it shit itself again

its really unstable it works fine 5 seconds later it goes to 20 fps

but if i restart the game it works fine

[sturdy pine]

psure disabling resizeable bar or wahtegver its called might help with that

[austere ocean]

psure its a frame gen issue

same thing was happening in ghost of tsushima when it came out, i dont think it ever got fixed

[heavy parcel]

I'd guess it's the memory leak issue, It's kind of hard to track down, I had no issues with it in a 6 hour play session yesterday, but some people can't play more than an hour. I know GSC is trying to track it down, but that won't help you now sooooo... All I can suggest is making sure it's set to system priority in windows and all that, make sure you don't have power saver mode on, I know that's really basic sorry. I'd also check background processes and fiddle with settings, especially some of the obscure ones like hair, and also try DLSS or FSR off for a few minutes, see if it degrades without them, even if it hurts your fps a lot, it might help narrow it down.

[heavy parcel]

I did have that happen with tsushima yeah, that might be it.

[austere ocean]

if its vram then frame gen would make sense

frame gen uses a tiny amount of vram iirc, might cause spillage with it on

[heavy parcel]

I think tsushima was an unique engine though, and I only have 8 gigs of vram with my 2070 and don't have that issue, but I'm not using any framegen or upscaling.

[austere ocean]

maybe what i said then, maybe frame gen is only making it more common

[digital hamlet]

just re entered the game and it works fin e lmao

[shy notch]

so we practically have to wait for an update to fix these insane fps drops

[royal portal]

Yep

[grizzled drift]

Or use mods and a combination of optimizing your computer yourself

[heavy parcel]

Check those settings if it acts up again, but it mostly sounds like a GSC thing, not something we can fix in settings.

[shy notch]

Anyone use one of those optimization mods yet and any help?

[austere ocean]

sometimes it fixes itself in a few seconds for me, other times much longer

[royal portal]

Some say there’s some performance mods on nexus that help. Cant confirm for myself. But we shouldn’t have to

[tulip spindle]

1% lows be pretty poopy no matter what i do it seems

[digital hamlet]

90 Fps at the same place where i was getting 10 10 minute earlier 🤣

im so sad i cant play this dude i was enjoying it

[shy notch]

Anyone use an optimize mod ?

[grizzled drift]

Yes

[frail mural]

are most of yall using mouse/keyboard or a pad?

[mighty hatch]

I was lucky to play 40 minutes before it bugged and went to 10fps, this is really getting ridiculous

[digital hamlet]

keyboard mouse

[royal portal]

At this point ima just wait for patches. Abysmal

[digital hamlet]

i went into @heavy parcel Tunnel now its back at it again if i put DLSS on ultra perfonmance it works tho

[frail mural]

I use TAA and turn it down the scaling down to 60 lol, its like Tarkov on my old 3500

[digital hamlet]

Using TAA Fixed it i now get 100 fps for now atleast ill test it a bit

[frail mural]

TAA is pretty nice, its what I use in Tarkov

[digital hamlet]

tarkov runs worse than stalker 2 for me LMAO

[silk crow]

game is so dogshit launching for the first time today crashes while compiling shaders lmfao

[frail mural]

of course it does hahaha

[heavy parcel]

What's your system specs? The sudden FPS drop seems tied to using framegen.

Luckily this issue should be fixable by the devs. Other stuff with the game like the lacking A-life simulation in my opinion is based on engine limitations, and probably won't be fixed for years by mods if ever sadly. Product of the engine and I doubt Epic has any real incentive to fix it.

[frail mural]

I'mma wait for a patch

[digital hamlet]

I5 12400F
RTX 4060 8GB
32GB DDR4 3200 mhz

ive played gray zone warfare another open world UE5 game thats in pre alpha and never had these issues with it

[mighty hatch]

It's funny when in a town and the fps goes to 20fps and below the npc's start animating weird and doing T bag motions

[hidden pebble]

Asus Tuf 15-12700H rtx 4070 40GB RAM when i reach the first town with a few stalkers my fps tanks to 10-20 low while in open its around 70-90 fps and its unplayable from there on even in cutscenes any workaround for this bcoz i have go there often to trade stuff

[heavy parcel]

Hm, GPU should be good and your CPU is probably better than mine, shouldn't be having this issue. Only thing I can think of at this point is windows f-ing around and deprioritizing the game by accident. Next time it bogs down, try changing nothing but your DLSS setting from like performance to quality and seeing if it works again for a bit, if that's the case you can at least make a bug report to GSC and let them know that's the issue, cause that seems to be what's broken. I would reccomend just lowering your settings until you don't need DLSS though.

[snow aurora]

I sent a ticket to the devs regarding a error I got but all I got was a automated response back, game gone to hell

[heavy parcel]

Benefit of the doubt: Autoresponse is well, automated, for everything, and they'll probably still look at it, but I'm sure they're swamped with reports.

[mighty hatch]

I checked task manager and when the performance bugs going 20fps and below it says the game isn't responding

[heavy parcel]

Task manager says its not responding, but the game is still playable just at low framerates?

[broken canopy]

There's thousands of people complaining about stutters, etc. Chances are they're not entertaining any tickets for the time being until a patch is pushed.

[mighty hatch]

Yes click on stalker 2 on process tab and click expand it says not reaponding

[wispy lotus]

So you‘re assuming devs will response to tons of bug reports being thrown at them right now?

[snow aurora]

I can't even launch the game fresh out of the box

[broken canopy]

what error is it giving?

[snow aurora]

0xbdb2e

[mighty hatch]

Yes its still playing while it's saying that

[drifting wren]

tsushima is weird, apparently it hogs PCIE bandwidth because it was built with unified memory in mind, it probably shuffles things in and out of VRAM more than average

[wispy lotus]

Are you playing via Xbox app?

[snow aurora]

yep and as far as I was told it's a issue with the devs

[bronze sundial]

I mean, for me, just make the game playable and I don't need anything else

[quartz prism]

Anyone found any new performance boosts?

[broken canopy]

that's all ive found, no one else in the cord has mentioned the error code tho idk

[snow aurora]

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the xbox app, I officially give up trying to make the game work

oh my god the game works on steam, it's just the xbox app being the most terrible service to exist

[bronze sundial]

Hot fix isn't going to be so hot if it's not releasing for two days

[snow aurora]

you're hot

[digital hamlet]

i am on TAA %100 res rn and getting 100 fps

[broken canopy]

Yeah i'd recommend playing on steam if you can lmao

[wispy lotus]

I‘m using xbox app and game launches just fine for me

[snow aurora]

I have had so many problems with the xbox app it's not even funny

[digital hamlet]

fr i hope they release it today or tommorow or maybe they are working on a major patch meant to reply to @bronze sundial

[bronze sundial]

I recommend to be more lucky and pray to the God

[digital hamlet]

Guys if anyone is having sudden frame drops try playing on TSR i have Frame gen on and didnt had a issue so far

[wispy lotus]

Eh if you have so many problems with it. Maybe it is the problem, not the game? I never had problem with it aside a few login issues.

Are you on latest windows?

[snow aurora]

I'm on windows 10

[wispy lotus]

May explain. I‘m on windows 11. Windows 10 is almost dead now that Microsoft almost drops its support.

Not telling you to update to windows 11 just to play this game, but maybe

[digital hamlet]

spoiler alert i had when i died lmao

[snow aurora]

I refunded the game, I'll wait for a sale before buying it again

[late ferry]

rip_gzw has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[heavy parcel]

You can't even use mild curse words in this server man lmao

[digital hamlet]

it "destroys" itself whenever i die TAA didnt fixed it sadly 😦

[wispy lotus]

Wait what you bought the game on Windows store on PC? I thought you use gamepass like me.

Why not just buy the steam version lol

[bronze sundial]

Nah, don't think it works on your machine because it's all updated and new, but on others it's not because their PCs are broken. It is just pure luck, even players with a top end computers struggle

[snow aurora]

I rather not spend $100 on something that has given me so much trouble

[heavy parcel]

I have a mid range pc and have had mostly minor issues besides crashing in main menu if I linger in it too long. It does just seem mostly random honestly.

[broken canopy]

Both mine work flawlessly, my friends whom have the same build as me struggle. At the same time some others that have lower end pcs dont have issues. strange

[wispy lotus]

Don‘t know what you meant. The game is $60 everywhere

[digital hamlet]

i pre ordered it for 40 lol

[snow aurora]

fun fact different countries exist

[bronze sundial]

That's exactly what I'm saying, on one side is the guy launching the game with 1660ti and having no issues whatsoever, and on the other side is someone who bought a new PC especially to play the game and it doesn't work properly

[snow aurora]

thats pretty much me, I got new parts to play stalker 2 yet it doesn't work

[digital hamlet]

whats your new parts

[bronze sundial]

Yeah, same for me

[grizzled drift]

Gotta optimize your PC as well, not just the game

[silk crow]

IF YOU HAVE A 13TH 14TH GEN CPU UPDATE BIOS GAME IS MUCH BETTER

[glass sinew]

anyone else getting weird bugs where underground segments have like fake water

[grizzled drift]

Have you guys tried any of these tips listed here?
Would recommend doing so

[deft belfry]

Can someone help with my problem? Im trying to launch the game,but i keep getting errors. PC SPEC: I9-14900K, rtx4080 super и 64 GB ram. "Out of memory trying to allocate a rendering resource. Make sure your video card has the minimum required memory, try lowering the resolution and/or closing other applications that are running. Exiting..."

[dusk crypt]

Anyone know how good the FSR frame gen is? I tried it but im experiencing an issue where it seems like there appears artifacting for a split second.

[prisma pond]

so anyone have a 3080ti opt settings yet

[bronze sundial]

It's the first and the last time I'm buying a game on release, I made an exception only because I think they did an enormous job and they deserve to get a paycheck early. If it wasn't GSC and the circumstances they are in, I would be very frustrated and already refunded the game yesterday's evening

[broken canopy]

check dms 1 sec

[snow aurora]

If a game is horribly optimised then even high shelf products will suffer

[bronze sundial]

It even seems strange to ask for something like "optimal settings for 3080ti"

[prisma pond]

i mean i have the game on high and epic i still studder and stuff like that thats why iasked

[grizzled drift]

I'm running 7800X3D/4090 getting 170+ FPS rn in the middle of a thunder storm

[digital hamlet]

should i reinstall latest NVIDIA driver?

[digital hamlet]

People who own 4090s shoudnt be allowed to comment on optimisation of a game ☝️

[dusk crypt]

yeah, but im assuming your are using frame gen + dlss + you spent a shitload on a pc

[grizzled drift]

I optimized my PC

[bronze sundial]

There is nothing wrong with asking, just that someone with a 3080ti needs optimal settings is ridiculous

[silk crow]

my game was trash laggy stuttering crashing with i7 13700kf, updating bios fixed it all for me

[grizzled drift]

Of course I am

[bronze sundial]

It didn't help, at least in my case

[prisma pond]

aslo have r7 5700x 64gb of ram running at 3200mhz and i only asked till they patch this performace prob my g

[dusk crypt]

Turn frame gen off so atleast you are on equal grounds with everyone without a 40 series and lmk what fps you are getting

[heavy parcel]

using framegen or dlss should be illegal ngl

[bronze dragon]

i installed the newest driver and so far i haven't had any problems.. had some stuttering and dips in framerate before, but after updating I can get a consistent 80-100 fps with a 3070 on med/high with dlss+frame gen

[digital hamlet]

yeah F this ima go play gta san andreas or something until they roll out a fix ive been trying to get it to work since yesterday

[grizzled drift]

Why do all that, I worked hard and paid for my parts and took the time to research and optimize my PC

[digital hamlet]

game runs 100 fps fine on ultra then it goes back to 10-20 fps if i die and i have to restart

[dusk crypt]

Good for you, but you cant really come in here and say that its an end user issue when clearly there are CPU performance issues in the game

[rough gale]

I got like 100 fps pretty much everywhere not in town tho but when i die i load a save and dip to 25 fps ...

[silk crow]

did you update your bios @digital hamlet

[digital hamlet]

i have I5 12400F i think 13-14th gen needs a bios updates

[grizzled drift]

I didn't say there weren't any issues, I said to optimize your PCs and even sent a list with recommendations

[rough gale]

Same

[heavy parcel]

Frame gen ruins your visuals, why pay for the parts if you're not going to use them to their fullest?

[digital hamlet]

i am starting to enjoy the game then it becomes 10 fps i lose all my hype

[grizzled drift]

I am using them to their fullest, Frame Gen is feature of the product I paid for

[frail axle]

i7-9700 kf / Geforce 2070 / 32 gb Ram. I have stable 70 fps on medium settings. I am happy.

[rough gale]

I will try update my bios tomorow see if it help

[dusk crypt]

Oh i see. I see you did the control flow guard thing, i tried the same and my game would launch, i have the same CPU as you just a 3080. Is there anything you did specifically?

[heavy parcel]

If you can't tell the massive visual downgrade from upscaling and using framegen you should have spent that money on eyeglasses instead of a graphics card lol.

[digital hamlet]

i hope it stays that way i am not enjoying whats happening on my end lol

[frail axle]

what is happning in ur end mate?

[grizzled drift]

Who are you again?

[prisma pond]

fsr frame gen do look bad

[heavy parcel]

Literally jesus, man. I am a monument, my opinion is law. Is that what you were asking? or are you just as irrelevant?

[digital hamlet]

i get 80-90 fps on Ultra but if i die it resets it self to 10 fps if i restart it works fine again

[rough gale]

Sameeee

[prisma pond]

so its a memory leak then ?

[digital hamlet]

most likely ill wait until a patch

[rough gale]

I try some mod but nothing work

[faint tinsel]

Yall think we'll get any patches very soon?

[prisma pond]

Yes

[digital hamlet]

@rough gale wait for a update man try playing something else in the meantime i wanna play it so bad aswell but nothing we can do

[heavy parcel]

Next couple days at most for the first big one.

[frail axle]

Oh... that sounds annoying.. My biggest concern is the NPC´s. They are kinda ruin the immersive feeling.

[rough gale]

It so sad i really enjoy the game but it kinda unplayable if i die 😂

[prisma pond]

i mean you could just put settings on high cap it to 60

[digital hamlet]

it dosent matter when it runs 10 fps lmao

[rough gale]

I try pretty much anything on en end

[prisma pond]

yeah ive never had that problem even when reloading a save so

[silk crow]

just put it on easy and dont die 🤯

[digital hamlet]

same toughts its playable if you just restart it but it would be better to wait and play it when its more stable

[raw sleet]

granted it's not ideal viewing but i've been playing it a bit in a 1080p window on my 1440p desktop for the extra gains

[dense frost]

reloadign saves or moving to a certain ares does that for me too

[prisma pond]

yalls problem with the 10 fps stuff hasnt happen to me yet mostly just studdering

[silk crow]

what cpu

[rough gale]

I sure dont have a high end pc but still i got i5 last gen and à 4050 rtx laptop

[dense frost]

4050 sounds better than my 1650 lmao

[prisma pond]

ryzen 7 5700x

[lean narwhal]

In the first town in the lesser zone I get 40 fps walking in and around it. Settings are set to high mostly. When I walk out though I get like 70-80F fps

Resolution: 1440p
CPU: Ryzen 9 5900X
GPU: RX 7900XT
Ram: 64gb 4000Mhz
Storage: Samsung SATA SSD

[dense frost]

its probably because all of the npcs

[digital hamlet]

thats known everyone gets low frame rates there

[rough gale]

Still i drop to 25 fps after i die or every now and then haha

[dense frost]

i guess we share the same problems after all 💔

[rough gale]

But sometime it great i have like 100 fps plus 🤷‍♂️

[raw sleet]

bunch of npcs and they've confirmed a-life is borked.. so that's likely a part of the prob in that area perf-wise

[dense frost]

im able to hit over 60~70 fps max, but sometimes it literally drops to 25-30 fps like yours

it feels like im playing stalker 2 in a dream with how hazy and how difficult it is to even see

[rough gale]

Well im gotta wait for the update because even all the mod now i try every single one of them 😂

[digital hamlet]

@rough gale do you have a mod installed by any chance

[digital hamlet]

thanks for the flood 🤣

[prisma pond]

my bad

[raw sleet]

wallotext anomaly.. watch step

[dense frost]

same, at least theres time to do other things now on the brighter side, but i got hope my pc will work because the fact i managed to get it into a playable fps...

before i approached the fault and my fps dropped like hell

[rough gale]

Yeah i try every optimization mod but nothing work

[prisma pond]

but even with all that my main problem is studdering like i said

[digital hamlet]

were you getting it without the mod?

[rough gale]

Yes

[paper sonnet]

hey guys :] i have an rx6800 with a r5 5600x and 16gb ddr4 3200ram, and im getting barely 60fps on high settings with about 30 in settlements. normal?

[dense frost]

yes, settlement is buggy rn

[prisma pond]

yeah i get like 40-50 in the town area

[paper sonnet]

aight thank you thought r5 finally decided its time was up was gonna pull trigger on 5800x 3D loll

[rough gale]

Im gotta update my bios tomorow maybe that the trick lol

[prisma pond]

should still do it

[surreal crag]

i feel like further you progress in the story the better fps unlock idk why but my fps feel so much more better now after the first few quests lol

[heavy parcel]

UE5 can't handle NPCs.

[sand nimbus]

Ryzen 5 5600 Rtx 4060, unplayable experience dropping to 20 fps in the bar cutscene.

[vapid finch]

hi everyone, i have a laptop with a 4050 (6gb vram), 32gb of ram on a pretty decent pc. i am experiencing crazy frame drops when i feel like i should at least be able to have decent frames

[heavy parcel]

4050 is kind of shit, bit of a scam card. 6gb of vram is very low for modern games. What's the CPU?

[surreal crag]

put everything on medium, use dlss performance set frame gen on or dlss frame gen, put nivida low latency enabled and try

[sand nimbus]

And dude booting up the game and getting shader compile every time literally makes no technical sense.

[silk crow]

this is an extremely cpu intensive game my i7 13700kf reached 95c

[surreal crag]

trueeee, i hope they are fixing that

@vapid finch let me know if it worked out, i got similair to you i have around 100+ fps

[bronze sundial]

I'm just wondering, if they have tested the game, how couldn't they have found those issues earlier

[silk crow]

some devs master UE some devs don't it is what it is

[bronze sundial]

Nah, I'm just saying from a testing perspective, because clearly, 1-2 hours of test would be enough to spot the optimization problems at least

[knotty nymph]

They dont always test shipping builds but rather in engine tests
Funny enough UE usually has no issues when playing in engine

[silk crow]

they didn't wanna kill the hype and be like "yeah guys its not optimized enough there's gonna be a delay"

[sand nimbus]

Tbf gsc is an indie studio

[vapid finch]

thank you, i have been trying to play on med w dlss, but for some reason my frames drop like crazy when frame gen is on for some reason, its playable for a moment and then ill pause or open my pda up and then my frames will drop

[knotty nymph]

The PDA and menu opening is bugged im pretty sure

[surreal crag]

try not to have anything open in background, dont alt tab when playing it screws with fps, happened to me aswell i hope they are fixing this

[bronze sundial]

That actually makes a lot of sense, but at the same time, kinda strange not to test the final product that you are giving to customers

[sand nimbus]

I need further investigation but on a video with 50 views , the uploader commented under his video that enabling Nvidia reflex is broken, and that it eats 5-10 fps. Havent tried it yet tho @vapid finch @surreal crag @vapid finch

[knotty nymph]

Well usually its done by in house testers or reviewers depends

[surreal crag]

nvidia reflex is for low latency not really fps boost i think im not sure, i havent had any issues tho

[knotty nymph]

But obviously not everybody’s pc specs are the same so its kinda impossible to automatically adjust to everyone
So issues like this can occur

[sand nimbus]

Doesnt matter If its broken.

I sawmy cpu wait time go up to 220ms , reflex is literally to reduce that wait time, but it does the opposite

[grizzled drift]

Turned off all upscaling > TAA: Res Scale 100, getting 80 fps in that same location/thunder storm

[lofty prawn]

Tell me a hotfix for frames are coming soon Oml

[surreal crag]

app working on it so we pray and wait, hope its quick tho

[lofty prawn]

Yeah the framedrops in towns are crazy as hell

[grizzled drift]

Yeah no amount of mods or optimization can fix the drops walking into Town, NPCs crush CPUs on UE5

[bronze sundial]

I'm just waiting for someone to say that the game burned down his PC

[surreal crag]

idk why but 60fps in this game also doesnt feel 60 fps its more like 40 ish

[muted radish]

The drops are interesting, cause it feels like the game chunks when you first enter town, and then it bounces back a bit. It won't hit the highs of the open world, but for me I'll usually be around 110 or so out in the world, then when I enter town it'll plummet to 40 for a bit, then it'll bump back up to around 60-70

[surreal crag]

i mean lets give it a week, i hope they come up with some good fixes

[dusk crypt]

Awesome, i fixed a lot of the stuttering issues with my game which were my main gripe, currently playing epic @1440p with DLAA and FSR frame gen and getting stable 90 fps in town during storm

[grizzled drift]

Yeah that was my main issue was the stutters, not fps

[visual terrace]

i just installed a body cam mod from nexus lol, pretty epic stuff if you dont mind losing a few frames

[heavy parcel]

Zero devs have mastered UE

[prisma pond]

gonna try this

[muted radish]

For reference Im playing on epic at 1440p with a 4070ti and a i7 14700k. Frame gen off, DLAA on I get around 60-70 in the open world, 40ish in town. With DLSS on quality I get around 50-60 in town, 90 ish in the open world. Frame gen turned on bumps that over 100 in the open world almost always, and in town I sit on about 70-80ish.

[visual terrace]

is this game also on Series S?

[vapid finch]

sounds about the same for my 6950 at home (i play on a 4050 laptop at work) but the quality setting for fsr is way too blurry in my opinion i could never use it

[ancient jacinth]

i know this isn't part of the subject, but is there any plan to add like more weaopns, foods, drinks, or meds to the game excluding dlc?

[lament scarab]

#📜┃ask-gsc

[ancient jacinth]

aight thx

[lament scarab]

Yes, but laggy, maybe holds 25 fps

[prisma pond]

what bout the X

[vapid finch]

heard it was about 55-60 on the X, i have yet to try

[lament scarab]

I don't have an X, but I've heard about 30fps in quality and 60fps in performance mode

[visual terrace]

ah. thats not that bad

[sand nimbus]

Its unplayable on 800 euro Hardware. Insanity.

[lament scarab]

Worth a try

[visual terrace]

Man can you imagine the performence they could have squeezed out on the PS5 Pro? shame

[drifting tulip]

exact same. Reminds me of the initial frame drop when entering a new cell in fallout 4

[analog steppe]

im getting 100-120 fps on epic with dlss on quality and frame gen on
I7-14700k
RTX 4070 super (heavily overclocked)
32 gb ddr5
game on an ssd

[sand nimbus]

None exactly because the cpu is the same as the normal ps5

and people literally want A LIFE to function LMFAO, the game will not be playable on any type of cpu

[graceful acorn]

Bro it looks cool but it won't help u from stuttering and lags

[visual terrace]

How can you drop pictures in this chat?

[graceful acorn]

Special role that gives permissions

[echo ingot]

Can it run Stalker 2? xD

[graceful acorn]

Nothing can run s2 bro...

[wind oriole]

some of u are making stalker 2 sound like its unplayable like crysis

[pliant shell]

sort of

[sand nimbus]

Because it is. Unfortunately i dont have pic perms to prove

[wind oriole]

my only prob with the game so far has been the darkness being dark and the stealth aspect being kind of lame -- i have 80 fps with 2070 and 5600x

[visual terrace]

i think modern games are expecting you to have a modern GPU... anything under 30 series just wont cut it anymore

[graceful acorn]

3060 with i7 cant run cuz of constant lags and fps drops to 10 while in recommendations prescribed high-ultra

[sand nimbus]

Bro a 4060 gets 9 fps in the bar , the game is borked period. Everyone saying Something different is wrong

[polar ledge]

I got the high-end spec with gpu rtx 4080. But the performance is terrible compared with My friend's GPU rtx 3070. Sorry if My Eng too bad.

[random fog]

3050 ti 32gb I7 12700H 20 fps with frame generator

[visual terrace]

is that with or without DLSS?

[wind oriole]

i have 80 fps with 2070 and 5600x 32 gb -- i am legit confused how a lot of ppl it isnt working for em and i wonder if its just the game isnt compatible with certain hardware or smthn

[visual terrace]

depends on the resolution. Im using a entry level pc and getting a stable 60fps at 8k resolution

[graceful acorn]

Literally same thing with ultra low graphics
From my 12h that i took on playing the game only 4h were actual game, all the other was a struggling with my nerves and eyes

[wind oriole]

oh 1080p reso -- 8k at 60fps? that is not bad at all

[polar ledge]

The game consumes huge resources based on the time playing

[graceful acorn]

I saw dude playing s2 on 1080 with low graphics but stable 70 fps like cmon I think I'm just a schizo

[visual terrace]

i seen someone trying to stream earlier on twitch. it was like 20fps tops. hurt my eyes watching it

[graceful acorn]

All we can do rn is to wait for fixes that can take more than cyberpunk lmao

[polar ledge]

Should I wait for future patches to finish this game ?

[visual terrace]

its hard to say. if you're running a 4090 and decent CPU you should be fine. its not unplayable

[graceful acorn]

If u was listening to journalists they all told that game needs at least 1 more year development to make it bearable

[gilded crag]

well.. i have 3060 and im extremely struggling to play this game on Low settings xD 40 fps average

[visual terrace]

Cyberpunk at launch for consoles was unplayable. Same with Arkham Knight for pc. this is nowhere near that, its just not as optimized as it could be

[heavy parcel]

They were wrong, it only needs a tweak to difficulty, runs fine on most pcs.

Most gaming pcs* i mean

[graceful acorn]

Who are these "most" bro 💀

[lofty prawn]

? ice ragebait

[graceful acorn]

Well mb it's all rly good with pcs

[heavy parcel]

considering 2070 as mid-range, it runs on most gaming pcs made in the last 5ish years.

[graceful acorn]

Cuz i have gaming laptop 💀

[gilded crag]

and on my current save when i load it game performance gets below 10 fps making it unplayable, had to make new save but same thing happened (i know about memory leak but even restarting game won't help)

[heavy parcel]

Gaming laptops barely exist man, just a scam.

[polar ledge]

not most PC bro. The stuttering still demands. My GPU can be used to cook some meals

[graceful acorn]

I don't have any space and time to have a pc
Laptop is the best solution for mobile people

[gilded crag]

wait you don't have 9800x3d and 4090 like everyone???? /s

[heavy parcel]

GPU isn't even the limitation, it's CPU bound due to Unreal Engine 5.

[graceful acorn]

Why would I 🤨

[visual terrace]

i have a entry level pc and the performance is just above ok

[heavy parcel]

I have a 3700x and a 2070 super. My pc is midrange, on the low end of gaming pcs in the modern day.

[polar ledge]

MY spec : RTX 4080 CPU i7 14700k

[heavy parcel]

Are you really stuttering? I'm not.

[steel stirrup]

Skibbidi specs
GPU: rx 6600 xt
CPU: ryzen 3 1300x

[visual terrace]

i have a 4090 OC and ryzen 9 7950x3d and the performance isnt bad i dont see what all the negativity is about

[graceful acorn]

If my laptop easily plays all modern releases (except s2) just why on the earth I need better gpu with cpu it's just awful racing with time

[silent spire]

Games pretty good running for me too in high setting 1080p. I have an rx 7600 and a amd 7700. The only thing is that when I died and loaded a save my game dropped to 10fps

[polar ledge]

yeah. I dont know what happen with my spec. FPS is higher than 70 but the stuttering makes me unable to play

[visual terrace]

theres a mod on nexus to fix the stuttering

[heavy parcel]

I have much worse and my performance is fine as well, I guess it could be better but I'm perfectly playable. No stuttering.

[distant badger]

You literally have the best possible pc

[earnest hemlock]

r7 9800x3d better

[sweet raptor]

Anyone tried with rtx 4050😂

[polar ledge]

possible if all all low

[graceful acorn]

All negativity is about fps drops to 10 for people who don't have 32+ GB RAM

[sweet raptor]

Most of the games run in medium settings but this one I have a doubt

[graceful acorn]

Read as:
"For all people who don't have 2k+ bucks to play s2"

[sweet raptor]

I think we need to upgrade from 16 to 32gb ram

[visual terrace]

i have 96gb of ram... star citizen player here

[silent spire]

I mean I have 32go of ram and still drop to 10fps when loading a save

[wanton coyote]

Using a GTX 1660 Super, 6GB VRAM. Pre drivers update I was getting a solid 20fps, with 2fps whenever stuff loaded, would last multiple minutes.
After Driver Update, I was seeing about 40fps, still fps drops down to about 4-5, but only lasts 10 seconds, except for in some specific areas with dense amounts of buildings.

[graceful acorn]

32gb is just a needed minimum
The rest still depend

[wanton coyote]

Oh also the cutscenes were scuffed, they all ran at half a frame per second

[visual terrace]

the only problem i've had "performance" wise is this weird RGB shimmer glow that shows up every once in awhile

[graceful acorn]

The best time for it huh

[sand nimbus]

Its not rage bait i am seeing it myself

[slow holly]

Is 96 nice for star citizen? I think about upgrading tho

[distant badger]

It's 16

[visual terrace]

its like on the very edge of NPCs sometimes. it sparkles either red, blue, yellow, green for a micro second. but with how dark the game can be its very noticeable

[graceful acorn]

Bro 16 is just a joke I'm struggling with it

[gilded cloak]

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
32 GB RAM
RTX 4070 Ti SUPER
Game on a nvme ssd

Not running well enough to play it, imo 😦

[visual terrace]

we need more information. like what resolution are you playing at?

[graceful acorn]

Ah look at all these poor people can't afford s2

[undone iris]

Im running same graphic on high without any issue

[silent spire]

I'm in no hurry, I'll just wait the next patch to play personnaly so the game run smoothly

[gilded crag]

same and I'm losing my mind faster than standing next to Brain Scorcher

[gilded cloak]

I tried it on Epic and on High. It makes no difference, same issues 😦

[visual terrace]

my friend also is waiting on the patch. she refunded it before she even got out the tutorial lol

[wanton coyote]

Make sure drivers are updated, they seemed to do a major difference on my end

[undone iris]

Seems its your cpu did you updated driver

[graceful acorn]

Bad move but she won't lose anything

[gilded cloak]

Drivers should be all updated, but I'll go and double check

[graceful acorn]

We all have to wait now till game fixed to bearable one

[polar ledge]

Im playing at 2K + HDR with more than 70 FPS. But I mean the stutturing makes the game unplayable.

[visual terrace]

i feel like a true unplayable game is one that nomatter what compromises you do, you cant get it above 60fps

[rugged blade]

you can freely combine that. I have 0 crashes, 13 hrs in game so far with my rtx 3090ti and around 2 hrs on 3080ti

[polar ledge]

Sometimes It drops to 15-20fps for a while

[graceful acorn]

Guys it's either us (so we have to back to super mario and doodle jump) or devs ain made game properly

[hoary crane]

im on 3060, i5-11th gen, 16gb of ram, cant run the game on any settings any resolution, even on 720p i have single digits

used to be able to run it on 1440p at around 40 but after updating drivers idk no can do anymore

[graceful acorn]

I have the best solution for u bro
Don't play the game 😎

[hoary crane]

helpfull

[graceful acorn]

Ik but that's the only way for peps like us if we can't buy a 2k+ bucks pc

[polar ledge]

or you can wait for a year to have a chance to play this game

[heady ridge]

yap yap

[visual terrace]

from what i've heard the series X is the next best thing if your pc cant handle it. Has good reviews

[hoary crane]

nah im sorry but if my friend with 4090 cant run it @60 1440p, this isnt issue with my pc

[graceful acorn]

Ah these famous AAA games that need years of development till everyone forget about it and return to older ones

[visual terrace]

that cant be right. i have a 4090 and im running it at 8k 60fps locked

[polar ledge]

framegen time

[hoary crane]

maybe its a 4080, not sure, but defo one of those 2

[graceful acorn]

Nah bro he's just too poor to play s2
S2 is a next gen game of 70+ series cards

[polar ledge]

The framegen weird when turning on bro. It helps nothing. The game still like running without it

[hoary crane]

3060 should defo be able to run atleast 1080p @60,

[heady ridge]

download vram?

[graceful acorn]

We all thought so

[visual terrace]

have you tried Lossless Scaling on steam too? i havent tried it yet on S2 but usually that'll bump you up like 10 fps if used right

[hoary crane]

any info if were getting any patches anytime soon? for optimization

[broken glacier]

my laptop 3060 and i5-12500h runs like 40-60 fps without framegen on lowest graphics

[polar ledge]

It have tried everything even tweak mods from Nexus

[visual terrace]

you'll lose HDR tho i think. Because S2 doesnt have HDR available unless its on full screen i believe

[hoary crane]

LAPTOP 3060 CAN RUN IT BUT MY PC NOT? XD

[last tangle]

I have NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 SUPER, all drivers updated, enough RAM, settings on low, but still run into the fps drops so low that I can’t pause the game to quit. Is there anything else I can do in the settings to help it? I’m playing through Xbox PC app also, if that matters

[graceful acorn]

Bro I just think if I afforded a 110€ game than I can buy a 32gb ram
Ah time to upgrade my 1year laptop ah

[dusk crypt]

ive now crashed 2x when reaching a specific point in my quest 😭

[hoary crane]

is it time to buy geforce now subscription?

[wanton coyote]

Nothing much really, also in the same situation. Parts of the game run like crap especially loading assets, I've heard the Xbox PC app also generally sucks in terms of performance, but personally I cannot confirm.

[gilded crag]

i have the same laptop and it runs similar

[dusk crypt]

Check pinned messages, there is a long list of things you can do.

[broken glacier]

nah bro in zalissya i got 10 fps, and most of the rime i have 50-55 fps, which is shit cuz i have 144 hz monitor yk? Also, after like half hour of playing, my vram just goes to maximum(6 gb) and i have a lot of stuttering so i need to restart lol

[hoary crane]

i have 1440p 180hz screen...

[broken glacier]

you too have problems with vram?

[hoary crane]

i have 60 celcius on my gpu and cpu, somehow league makes my pc hotter than this game...

[graceful acorn]

My game was crashing non stop on old mill
It helped after I updated drivers and set graphics to minimum with fps generation

[gilded crag]

yes! game have confirmed memory leak

[heady ridge]

intel core?

[last tangle]

For me when it runs well it runs really well, it’s beautiful. But when the fps drops it’s to an unplayable level. What is the optimal graphics card to play this game? I wonder is it running well on Xbox console?

[last tangle]

Thank you

[late ferry]

awesomesauce67 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[wanton coyote]

Same here, looks great, its just some areas. They say the recommended is a 3070 or something on their steam page. 1660s is actually same, if not below minimum requirements of a 1070

[broken glacier]

also same problem on silent hill 2, i think that ue5 is just bad-optimized engine

[heady ridge]

Bro wrote a whole essay for it to be deleted 🥴

[crystal smelt]

not bad actually, I have 3060 and i5 11400h laptop, and still have only 30 FPS with drops to 5 every 5 minutes

[solemn zinc]

there is afew optimization mods, which is best to use

[visual terrace]

a true gamer wouldnt mind playing at 720p aslong as the game was fun

[sick magnet]

anyone here try running the game on administrator if they get frequent crashes when playing? worked pretty good for me

[broken glacier]

i installed two, didn't get much fps, but it did reduced stutterings and also this strange input lag when you use framegen got fixed a bit, from like 400ms it reduced to 250ms

[polar ledge]

Anyone knows how to turn off Lumen RT UE5 ? If it allows you to turn off Lumen stuffs. I think it will be playable for low specs

[gilded crag]

didn't anything other on UE5 but i played Deep Rock Galactic (UE4) and works great but i have random freezing when i turn on Nvidia experience in both games

[zinc cave]

I have an rtx 2060 6gb mobile and i7 10750h, runs with 60-70 fps with frame gen, but can drop to 5 fps in the safe zones

[solemn zinc]

yea i noticed framegen delay being less but still ndont use it cuz it feels like u got mouse smoothining or the aim isnt snappy

[crystal smelt]

idk, I tried all settings including 720p, but FPS always around 20-30

only fsr framegen helps a lot

[sand nimbus]

What about entering cutscenes

[zinc cave]

Yeah it's tough there, 20-25 fps

[broken glacier]

yeah ue4 and drg runs moslty normally, but with my cpu (i5-12500h) and those efficiency cores my game can run bad sometimes, and cpu heat is always near 100 C so i turn off turbo

[ember hearth]

I think there is an ini tweak guide on Steam that says how to disable that.

[heady ridge]

how to optimize 2gb ram and intel core

[polar ledge]

I ve tried this but It seems not working at all.

[broken glacier]

never buy laptops on OZON💀

[gilded crag]

my cpu is a bit colder, around 90°C

[craggy river]

My friend has GTX 960, AMD CPU and 4gb of RAM, but he says that his game is lagging badly. Why though?

[ember hearth]

Did you make the ini read only after your changes? I have not looked into it but usually that is required but you could always check after you start the game and see if those ini lines get altered.

[broken glacier]

it's just my laptop that got coolers replaced with chinese rice

can't wait for that day(week)-one-hotfix

[gilded crag]

I need to try undervolting it :v

[hallow smelt]

hey guys. after testing for 3.5h with AMD FSR on (while having NVIDIA GPU a 3080. I can definitely recommend trying as it helped a TON with performance. compared to other I didnt get input lag that much ( I activated nvidia reflex also). but difference in fluidity is significant, it's worth a try 🙂

[dense frost]

your friend's pc isn't in the minimum req to run stalker 2;

OS: Windows 10 x64 / Windows 11 x64
Processor: Intel Core i7-7700K / AMD Ryzen 5 1600X
Memory: 16 GB RAM
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB / AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB / Intel Arc A750

[gilded crag]

but 3060 surprisingly cold for a laptop, around 76-78°C

[shy terrace]

Because those specs are really outdated

[broken glacier]

i did undervolting on my cpu, from around 4300 hz to 3300 hz, so my heat isn't always 100 C, i lost like 2-3 fps, you should try it, i did it in throttlestop

[high quarry]

I went opposite way from 5215 to 5503 😄 67C

[gilded crag]

i need to try it!

[broken glacier]

you on pc or laptop? if on pc than good, but laptop will explode lol

[safe prawn]

also i think the radiation effect starts way too soon and is quite intrusive

[high quarry]

[high quarry]

Last night I was getting 170-200, bumped up CPU and GPU clocks now, so will try it properly tonight.

[flat brook]

Good stuff, I run mine at 5.7 on all P-cores, but at a significantly lower voltage than Intel thinks it needs, temps never reach above 6

[high quarry]

Yeh, my voltages are quite high at 1.295v, at stock its below 50C

[broken glacier]

i think of selling my laptop (3060 1TB ssd i5-12500h) and buying asus tuf with 4060 500gb ssd and ryzen 5 7535 HS, and the main reason is cpu, because intel efficiency cores destroy fps so much, and also asus got free to use bios, while on my hp omen bios restricted for 90% of functions, also my heat should go down

[late ferry]

ronin1485 has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[dense frost]

specs sounds familiar, is that a f16?

[prime lark]

Are glass broken reflections a known bug?

[broken glacier]

what dou you think of that ryzen guys?

[flat brook]

Mine wanted to run at 1.4v stock, threw that down to 1.25v and limited it to 125w TDP, only thing I had to overvolt was the memory controller from 1.05 to 1.15v to get it to run with 4 sticks of DDR5

flat surface reflection are often screen space, so glass windows overlayed with a scope will show the scope reflections.

[dusk crypt]

Anyone know a fix for this crash?

[prime lark]

I mean if turn on my flashlight the glass turns completely white in a rather pitch black scenario

[high quarry]

Yeh, I have set 160W, but allowed a 3x PBO scaler (which is why voltage is high), but it means it stays between 5450 and 5503 under load.

[heady ridge]

I think your pc has feelings for you bro

[flat brook]

Think this in part is one of the reasons my 13th gen i7 hasn’t decided to off itself yet, or hasn’t given me any stability grief unlike a couple other people I know have experienced

[high quarry]

RAM is 48GB at 6300 CL30

[broken glacier]

a15 with 15.6 and a17 with 17.3 monitor

[dense frost]

damn, that was my second guess LOL

amd is pretty good imo, its a IGPU

[dusk crypt]

maybe

[rugged magnet]

Game runs alright on med-high end pcs, lets see how it runs when AI actually works lol

[flat brook]

Nice, I had to throttle my RAM down to 5600 CL36 to keep it stable with 4 sticks, 2 sticks 32GB I ran at 6200 CL30, but it rejected those speeds and timings with 4 slots occupied

[shy terrace]

It should be fine as long of they have optimised the game better with the a-life patch

[heady ridge]

How to overclock and throttle Intel Core cpu?

[sand nimbus]

4060 desktop not enough to play the game at 1080p i get frame down to 15 in cutscenes

[high quarry]

Yeh, usually the case with 4 dimms. It's why I went 2x24, didnt need 64, but wanted more than 32.

[indigo ore]

game stutters lags and fps drops at the lowest imaginable settings and the graphics look worse than the mobile stalker game port
its over 🙏🏻

[broken glacier]

anyway that's better than my laptop 3060, and i ain't got much money(

[dense frost]

game is just anomalous rn, need the military to clean up the zone for it to work first

[flat brook]

All in all nice setup, enjoy mate!

whats your gpu? nvidia 1060?

[indigo ore]

No

[broken glacier]

yeah the main reason i refuse to play is mobile games graphics wilhe 50 fps, waiting on patch

What is your graphics card and are you using hdd or ssd

[gusty reef]

Which optimizer is best ATM?

[high quarry]

If you can deal with foliage like this from FSR/FG, its worth running 170-200 IMO. But I prefer higher fps...

https://i.imgur.com/kp5c9FP.jpeg

[sand nimbus]

Turning everything to medium or lower turns of software raytracing

[indigo ore]

hdd got no space on ssd for a 160 gig game

[broken glacier]

not all of eastern europe is romania broski🥹

[elder viper]

Hey guys, hope ya'll are doing good. I know im not the only one experiencing issues running xD

[gilded crag]

good to know

[broken glacier]

use ssd bro that's essential

[indigo ore]

cant tarkov hogging it

[high quarry]

I moved to Romania nearly 20y ago, theft and crime is a lot lower than UK where I was 😄

[valid jacinth]

lol

[indigo ore]

wouldnt have space anyway ssd is 200 gigs

[visual terrace]

the ultra realistic preshade on nexus makes this game really shine

[high quarry]

in 20 years I haven't experienced or even witnessed a crime.

[broken glacier]

just don't live in bucharest and you'll see that romania is a great country, that's what i've heard from romanians

[shy terrace]

It must be your hard drive the game is reccomended for a ssd and other people have also had issues on a hdd

[high quarry]

I was in Bucharest for a few years, but yeh now I am further north where its nice.

[elder viper]

I have a Legion 5 Laptop, RTX 3060, Ryzen 7 CPU and an NVME SSD. Constant FPS Drop Stutters that either sit, or come out of nowhere in the beginning of the game. I've researched into what works and what doesnt, but i havent had a pure bottleneck other than my GPU. are there any main fixes for random FPS drop stutters? i can barely play the beggining w/o major issues.

[visual terrace]

try nexus mod. theres a mod to fix or atleast reduce it

[indigo ore]

man j just really wanna play my 100 usd game
cant even look at gameplay on screenshots anymore

[elder viper]

there's like 4 and im pretty sure most are placebos, cause ive tested and it actually made it worse lol

[broken glacier]

certified tarkov player

[dense frost]

idealistically you could wait for a patch, i managed i drag myself from the beginning to the intro on 25 fps

[indigo ore]

i tried altering usersettings and engine ini helped barely

[high quarry]

from last night: Just look at the moon, you get more fps 🙂 https://i.imgur.com/dIBgPNE.jpeg

[river harness]

Has anyone found a solution for CTD when compiling shaders?

[hoary crane]

it doubled! now i have 2

[elder viper]

I've done engine ini, ~mods, and launch options, including someones full guide on YT for regedit shit for optimization and priority lol

[dense frost]

powerful

[high quarry]

shader compile crash could from unstable Intel CPU, but if on NVIDIA also try increasing shader cache size.

[broken glacier]

this is ue5 problems, i suggest you to wait for stalker patches, and also soon there should be ue 5.5, maybe some problems will be fixed, main reason for stuttering is memory leaks and they are huuuge

[river harness]

yeah I tried that 😦

[mystic briar]

Man the game freezes non stop now in Rostock, im on a 4070Ti, i7-13700KF, 32GB DDR4 MHz 3600, Kingston Fury Renegade 2TB SSD... Medium Settings

[high quarry]

This is the power-ful bit https://i.imgur.com/wFxo5mQ.jpeg

[indigo ore]

welp i shouldve learned after i preordered bf2042 and cp2077
guess im waiting 5 years

[lone night]

Anyone else having issues when it either rains or turns to day in the game that your game becomes extremely laggy? Like your FPS drops from 160 to 13?

[dense frost]

the source of power

[broken glacier]

i think cp was in much worse condition and stalker will be fixed faster

[visual terrace]

i take back what i said... this game needs some work. that RGB shimmer shit runs rampid if i turn off DLSS

[high quarry]

Could have been, but the cable is buried, we cant retrieve the power!

[flat brook]

LowLevelFatalError?

[hollow portal]

or with opening the map on the PDA

[elder viper]

have we found what performance setting for upscaling genuinely works for Nvidia cards?

[lone night]

Yea that to sometimes.

[dense frost]

just use your fingernails to pull the dirt apart, shouldn't be that hard!

[hollow portal]

i have it on balanced

[cyan cradle]

Anybody else get terrible input latency?

[elder viper]

DLSS Balanced?

[mystic briar]

ah no my bad its freezes not crashes no error report

[flat brook]

DLSS Quality seems to give the best performance/quality balance so far

[indigo ore]

kinda hoped it would work a little bit better on release considering twice the amount of devtime and delays then i remembered its unreal

[high quarry]

FSR Balanced, but on 7800XT for 170 ish mostly. drops to 130 in town will those 15 ish AI around me.

[elder viper]

Okay, i did try it and it seemed super super clean up until a 5 fps drop stutter 😦

[indigo ore]

see you all in a year then maybe multiplayer will work then

[river harness]

If anyone is having really bad Stuttering this fixed it for me https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/2?tab=posts&BH=0

[molten glen]

Is there a fix for the unnatural darkness sometimes ? Especially in buildings when it’s bright sunlight outside

[flat brook]

That’s something else going on, I haven’t dropped below 100fps in 9,5 hours of playtime

[mystic briar]

imm go on low settings full performance DLSS see if it still freezes

[river harness]

But I'm having to play on a 3060 instead of my intel 4060 rig b/c of compile shader crash

[dense frost]

hold on you can go to ROSTOK???

[tough hemlock]

Im seeing if I should buy the game or wait for the hotfix. I have Rtx 3060ti and ryzen 5 3600. any idea guys?

[dense frost]

just wait out for the hotfix, its better that way

[elder viper]

i have similar, but ryzen 7, i've been struggling with issues

[tough hemlock]

I see. ill wait for the hotfix then but i really want to play this game man. waited a long time.

[dense frost]

idr why i preordered stalker 2 on both accounts anyway, but its best to wait out for the hotfix so that the game can be at least playable in some way

[elder viper]

we got a timeframe for the hotfix release? probably a week im guessing

[flat brook]

Most likely next week, after the weekend

[tough hemlock]

i heard rumors maybe next weekend

[flat brook]

Although they may push for a weekend hotfix considering the expect impulse of players they’ve missed with a mid-week release

[tough hemlock]

yeah thats true

[dense frost]

well if we could wait for cyberpunk 2077 to fix up their mistake and let bethesda escape so many times, we can wait out for gsc too

especially since theyre in a country that has a war going on

[tough hemlock]

what specs do you guys have? what fps are yall averaging?

[upper oar]

Same i knew this would happen hahahaha I was being so positive that its gonna be fine

[fallen kindle]

And considering Stalker is in a more finished state than CP2077 (at launch)

[dense frost]

gtx 1650, amd 5800h, 16gb ram...

somehow managed to get 60 tops for like a few moments, but then my game starts stuttering the hell out and it drops to 25-30 fps lmao

you dont wanna imagine how i was fighting mutants and bandits

[tough hemlock]

i see. r you on a laptop?

[flat brook]

13700K, RTX 4070Ti-S, 64GB DDR5, 980 Pro M.2 SSD

Between 110-120 in Zalissiya, 130-140 outside of the town on a mix of high/epic settings with DLSS on quality, frame gen off

[dense frost]

yup, but im managing

[indigo ore]

i knew it but i didnt wanna believe myself

[tough hemlock]

wish I had your specs

[high quarry]

Could it be RAM? I was fighting multiple of them and still getting 180+ https://i.imgur.com/vj96rBM.jpeg

[upper oar]

I was fighting the 1st bloodsucker with 10fps. I dont need to be drunk all i need to do is play stalker 2

[dense frost]

LOL SAME bro was teleporting to my left side like a enderman idk how

[flat brook]

Good memory definitely helps, I’m getting a solid 40 ish fps more than my friend who has the same setup but with DDR4 3200 CL36

[dense frost]

the mouse control ingame is so hard to even control, i was shooting the first group of bandits like a zombified stalker

[upper oar]

Because of their success i thought they arent going to be like the other successful companies like bf2042 and CP

[dense frost]

speaking of zombified stalkers, are they ingame?

[high quarry]

I am running 6300 CL30

[upper oar]

They became invisible actually but because of their success stutter its like they are teleporting

[flat brook]

Yeah DDR5 seems to provide a significant boost in both gameplay FPS as well as loading times

[dense frost]

theyve gotten superpowers from the cnpp, we are doomed

i took literally 3.8 hours to complete the whole tutorial lmao, all while suffering from stutters and being at 25 fps

[high quarry]

in theory DDR5 8000 CL38 would be better

but its a bit of a lottery with mobo and RAM combo for 9800x3D still unless you spend insane money

[visual terrace]

get yourself a Godlike x670e it'll fill that 8000 out easy

[flat brook]

I just wish DDR5 was more stable with 4 sticks to be honest, should have gone for 2x32 instead

[high quarry]

I can boot 8000 on my x870, its just not 100% stable with reasonable voltages

[lapis niche]

Good morning Stalkers. What news from the Ryttermark?

Any optimization revelations that came to light overnight?

(that was not supposed to rhyme like that lol)

[mystic briar]

playing on the lowest settings, with full performance DLSS game still freezes, is that memory error ?

[willow kiln]

is a I7-10700 + RT 7900XT + 64Go good for the game to get 60fps ?
With Screens 2560x1440

[royal portal]

my game constantly comes down to 10 fps and below. I reckon its a memory issue.

[analog steppe]

yes more than enough

[earnest sapphire]

4050 i5 13450hx 24gb RAM 10-15 fps on DLSS balanced + frame gen, 8-9 without frame gen

[north linden]

Anyone knows how to make a full shader recompilation?

[open terrace]

i was getting 50 fps with that specs then it got down to 8-10 for no reason

[north linden]

My game become unplayable after editing engine.ini via optimizer mods

[earnest sapphire]

Delete all shader files in C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\Local\Stalker2\Saved

There are some files like which weights few gb

[north linden]

Thanks will try

[quiet trellis]

so super random but my game didnt have an engine file normally? is this normal or are always meant to have one as my game didnt install one and verifying file intregity doesnt make one?

[long geyser]

Normal

There isn't supposed to be one. You create it to add the lines

[winged perch]

anyone else having issues with EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000098?

[lofty prawn]

anyone elses game go white when aiming down a scope?

[open terrace]

how do we fix this

[somber sparrow]

Try loading from a previous save

[quiet trellis]

okay thank you^^

[frail vine]

For anyone who might find this helpful:

i7-4770k
RTX 3070
16GB RAM

Medium Settings + DLSS Performance - 1440p

Getting average of 40fps but lots of stuttering and major dips in heavy NPC areas like towns. Weird mouse lag as well which makes shooting difficult.

[gusty reef]

Weird mouse lag as well which makes shooting difficult.
yeah this is the worst about the performance

[open terrace]

it is because of dlss i think

[gusty reef]

I don't have this problem with any other game running with dlss

[open terrace]

the game is full of bugs and performance issues and released unfinished so its normal. give time for developers they will fix it

[gusty reef]

Yeah, I feel like I time traveled and playing Fallout 4 on launch date 😄

[silver pike]

I'm also getting low performance.. Maybe 20fps if I'm lucky..

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
32Gb RAM
3080 OC

[visual terrace]

i tried downloading a mod to make bust sizes larger and now the game wont launch, any fixes?

[prime lark]

Not always, you'll be cpu bottlenecked especially in villages or npc dense areas

[steep quiver]

im running a 12th gen intel i7 with a nividia 4060 and my proformance is pretty ok some stutter here and there and only big fps drops in towns but fps is normaly around a 100

[warm cypress]

Mouse smoothing is on by default

[cosmic jackal]

why am i not able to change my resolution, do i have to do it over the .ini?

[signal compass]

Its still shutting down my pc when i try and start the game and i followed all the guides- 5700x 32gig ram 3080ti so i know its not my specs and im not OC

[cosmic jackal]

i heard xbox has 6 seconds no frames at all while entering the town lmao

[sour nacelle]

Yeah but other than that it runs okay

[steep quiver]

i hope they make day and night longer do

[gusty reef]

how can I turn it off?

[cosmic jackal]

just use the mod?

[steep quiver]

there is a mod for it already ?

[warm cypress]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Po0i3szcGkc&ab_channel=ClipState

[cosmic jackal]

theres a bunch of them, installed like 6 already

[open terrace]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/47

[steep quiver]

aaa well i give the devs a change before i go installing mods haha the game is just few days old

[royal portal]

Haven’t found any fixes. Even tried installing some optimizer mods to no avail. Dunno if it’s a ram issue or just memory leak issue. 32gb of ram is is being used up at like 29gb when game is running

[cosmic jackal]

lower health for mutants, longer sprinting, unrestricted upgrades and s2 tweaks made the game so much better for me

[long geyser]

5800X3D, 4090.
I can get my fps to 19 in the village if I run, jump and move my mouse around fast

[open terrace]

we need to wait for the patch then

[royal portal]

Wait for patches tbh.
I’ve tried tweaking settings myself.
Nothing works, and it’s frustrating lol.
Also getting told my specs which are listed for high settings aren’t good enough for High settings. Which makes no sense

[cosmic jackal]

village is cpu bottleneck, also the cpu is pretty slow for the 4090

[long geyser]

Funny

[steep quiver]

my 4060 is running on high and not a lot of trouble

[cosmic jackal]

running between low and epic is difference of 10 fps maybe

[royal portal]

It’s funny seeing people say what is and isn’t good enough. These CPU’s and gpu’s are maybe 4 years old at most (in most cases). Should be able to play without a problem

[spare coral]

My rx 6700 10 gb got put automatically in high settings

[steep quiver]

same

[royal portal]

Stalker defaults to epic settings for me but it clearly can’t handle it

[wooden tide]

Should I even try to make it work on i7 8700 1660Ti and 16gb ram?
I tried mostly low settings, few medium, tsa and get around 45-50fps but it drops in some places significantly
Should I just abandon it, i dont think everything on minimum will help much, and i also dont want to play pixel game...

[winged perch]

Sadly doesn't work

[uncut raptor]

Try Intelligent standby list cleaner

and try this settings in NVIDIA Control panel (helped me fixing RAM leaking in escape from tarkov when i was using 16gig ram)
sorry, can't find how change language in nvidia control panel, explained on screenshot

UPD: can't upload screenshots here. will DM you

[long geyser]

Anyone within the recommended specs should stop listening to people blaming their hardware. Accept that the game is a mess and do whatever you can to tweak it until they officially do something about it

[open terrace]

i got rtx 4050 (mobile 140w) i5 33500h 32 gb ram and a ssd game automaticlly put the settings to the high. it was normal at the start fps was good then when i come to first town its 8-10 fps when i reload save its 45-30 again for 2 minutes

[cosmic jackal]

funny seeing people using the best gpu on this planet with 5+ years old cpu and complain about bad perfomance inside the village where we all get at best 60 fps

[royal portal]

Tbh I’m probably just gonna wait till they patch it up. I hate troubleshooting, let alone to get a new game to work. It’s a waste of time for me 🤣 I’ve spent 1 out of 4 game hours actually playing the game. It’s sad.

[slow verge]

70fps take one step boom 10fps

[long geyser]

You can idle in the village, move absolutely nothing, and the 1% lows can fluctuate from 30 fps to 90 fps. So inconsistent.

[cosmic jackal]

as moving loads in/out npc which put strain on the cpu while the gpu idles

[neat quarry]

People shouldn't be judging other people's rigs, it's not a question of "get a better pc" but rather "wait for the update".

[royal portal]

Precisely.

[long geyser]

My CPU is 2 years old and one of the best ones out there

[royal portal]

My 5800x should still hold up for this game I’d imagine. I just want 60fps consistent on medium / high

[cosmic jackal]

its using still the am4 technology which is from 2016

[long geyser]

You don't know what you're talking about

[coarse linden]

Holds up good enough for other games, for this not so much

[cosmic jackal]

its just to recommended to use ddr5 and am5 with a 4090, otherwise you cant use the full potential of the gpu

[royal portal]

Hard to say when it isn’t optimized.

[long geyser]

People with 7800x3d face the same issues

[cosmic jackal]

we all face the same issues, but its still depending on your hardware

[verbal sage]

Depending on your luck i would say

[ivory pasture]

I mean, shaders compiled are not cached ? why it's recompiling everytime ?

[royal portal]

A bit of both. I’ve seen folks with 30 series or even 20 series gpus claim they have good performance

[cosmic jackal]

bad cpu = bad perfomance in village/ even if you run a 4090

[winged perch]

AM4 is the socket not the chip.

[coarse linden]

Tbh not even good cpu holds up too well in towns. If we look at frametimes

[long geyser]

I'd like to see the numbers from the top ddr5 CPUs. Both Intel and AMD. Show me the 1% lows. Average framerate doesn't mean sh1t

[verbal sage]

R7 7800X3D 6900XT 64GB DDR5 ~50 FPS on EPIC with shadows on High, ~ 70 FPS on all High. FSR on NATIVE 2560x1440

[royal portal]

Just take a look at digital foundry’s video.

[cosmic jackal]

thats what im saying, the best cpus on the world only handle 60 fps in the town

[steep quiver]

give it some time i bet it will be fixed by devs or modders

[verbal sage]

with FG i got ~ 100 fps with fluctuations to like 80's

[craggy river]

I have 6900xt but 5700x3d and 16 gb ram

[long geyser]

My average framerates are good. They're in the 100s, but it doesn't matter when the 1% lows are inconsistent with huge dips

[cosmic jackal]

im not a nerd, the game has to feel responsive and have atleast 60 all the other stuff i really dont care about

[long geyser]

....

[coarse linden]

Confident that CPU spikes can be get undercontrol with time

[royal portal]

I’m hopeful of that as well

[verbal sage]

so you should get about the same performance, or it's ram issue

[cosmic jackal]

im also confident thats just a cpu optimization needed for the village thats it

[charred vector]

i have:

rtx3060ti
ryzen5 5600x
32gb ddr4 3200mhz

any advice what to upgrade first to push better performance in stalker?

since honestly black friday is nearby and i want more pretty

[craggy river]

Yeah I ordered 2x8 gb ram yesterday
