pc-specs

[winged comet]

I'd say it's both UE5 and the devs. They are the ones, who advertised 3800x being enough for 1080p/60

[distant badger]

New games started to look bad. After taa/dlss, ray tracing and other things

[light coral]

i think its funny cuz other UE5 games like lords of the fallen, remnant 2, wukong and fortnite all ran 120+FPS for me without needing to use any frame generation software; while in stalker i kinda do need it/ use it

[frail mural]

because for some they feel like its too much research lol

[graceful wolf]

is there a way I can minimize crashing and freezing when loading the map in. I die in the poppy feild, and before I can even see where to go I die again

[tight urchin]

and this game is a crazy exception, this is modded skyrim level I am incredibly amazed by how good this looks

[torpid jacinth]

So does it run better for anyone after the update

[raw sleet]

is there much of a difference between ddr5 6000 and 6600? i got 32gb ddr5 6000 installed now, wondering if it would make much of a diff if I upgraded em

[tight urchin]

no, doesn't run any different for me because there wasn't an update

[winged comet]

The update was just announced, not released

[frail mural]

probably minor from what you already have

[minor dawn]

I wish they offered the option of hardware lumen rather than forcing software lumen

[torpid jacinth]

Oh my bad yall 🤦

[hard spire]

Depends on your CPU but in this game it won't make much of a difference. Even on games where it'll matter it'll still be negligible at best 5%

[tight urchin]

well time to see what the future brings eh

[raw sleet]

kind of what i was thinking as well.. i don't have much cpu bottleneck that I can see here.. i9 12900k

[visual terrace]

People are getting 30fps and below and think the devs are going to magically get them to anywhere near 60 smh. Yes there’s a memory leak and yes there’s some fps drops but you can’t be naive enough to think once that’s patched your system is going to hit your target frames if it’s nowhere near it now

[distant badger]

Idk. The peak of graphics was in 2018. Then it's degraded. ray tracing is too demanded technology to look good

[frail mural]

we all just gotta see what this patch is talkin bout, but ofc people took time off to play this, only for it to be buggy and i think thats where people are frustrated lol

[light coral]

idk cyberpunk ran like 15fps on my 3060 and after patches it runs 90fps+ on high settings; who knows what'll tommorow bring

[distant badger]

Stfu

[minor dawn]

Cyberpunk came out in 2020 and is easily one of the best looking games imo

[tight urchin]

I have incredible amounts of hopium and copium for this game, wouldn't have gone through the effort of doing that optimization megathread otherwise lol

[mellow egret]

unfortunately optimization does take time, it's kind of a pain to troubleshoot

[light coral]

itll take time but i think optimizations are gonna make game very nice

[visual terrace]

Cyberpunk didn’t use engine real 5 tho. It’s a entirely different beast when it comes to optimization. Even current top of the line hardware isnt able to keep up with that engine.

[mellow egret]

you're mostly running off feedback during the optimization process because everyone's machine is different

[light coral]

thing is tho i noticed when im in a discord VC my fps just starts spassing out; without being in one 90+fps on high settings 1080p

anyone else got any similar experience?

[distant badger]

It has soapy graphics problems as many other new games

[amber nexus]

I finally understand why everyone was complaining about the stuttering. It started in Garbage

[tight urchin]

guess we won't know until GSC tells us what's possible, it's all speculation

[mellow egret]

with UE5 being so new too I'm sure there's still a learning curve

[tight urchin]

have u cleaned ur monitor/glasses recently maybe? really can't see what you're saying

[minor dawn]

I think you need to get your eyes checked or something. Like seriously I’m concerned if you find that game soapy

[mellow egret]

new features means time spent learning the new features

[oblique holly]

Hello, fast question, computer here says 16gb (15.7 usable) is that not gonna run the game?

[tight urchin]

will run check pinned post

[light coral]

"disable nvidia and steam overlay" ooooh i might do that

[crystal stirrup]

16 GB of RAM are fine.

[agile pier]

it will if you get something that will periodically dump/clear your memory

[mellow egret]

you're gonna struggle a bit though

[oblique holly]

I use process lasso to clear memory periodically.
But thank you guys for the assurance.

[light coral]

again, i have noticed most of my fps reduction stuff / fps drops come from 3rd party programmes

[agile pier]

I use Process Lasso's SmartTrim, so if S2 is using more than 4GB of memory (estimate) it will dump it and start fresh

[mellow egret]

does that effectively combat the memory leak though

[thorn frigate]

Hi, i have a 6800 xt and a 5600, What are the best settings fot this setup?

[frail mural]

Tekken 8 uses UE5, which they rebuilt from the ground up and that runs alright.. but it does hiccup everynow and then at environment shit

[tight urchin]

besides ISLC there's not much known about 3rd party program performance impact yet

[distant badger]

Idk for me graphics looks uncanny and soapy. Rdr2 has peaked graphics after that something wrong with almost all AAA games

[amber nexus]

@tight urchin I wasn't asking for help. I was stating I understand finally what everyone was complaining about launch day.

[agile pier]

Yup, I stay within 14gb total used across my sessions. before I started using it, I would go up to 26GB used, and 14 of those 26 were from Stalker

[oblique holly]

@rose frost Not sure honestly. I haven't even bought it yet, I'm still on the wall with my current specs you know..
I also DID increase the page file with an extra 8gbs, it's a gaming laptop.

[mellow egret]

larger studio with more funding and decades of experience

[solemn island]

TAA 😛

[frail mural]

Of course, its Bandai/Namco lol

[light coral]

stalker 2 will eventually get there; GSC is actively working on it so yknow; itll be fine

give them time

[distant badger]

Maybe it's cause of new lightning technology

[indigo schooner]

I've had horribly flickering wall textures confirmed up and down by multiple friends and I'm experiencing it as well, any possible solution or wait for patch?

[thorn frigate]

Hi, i have a 6800 xt and a 5600, What are the best settings fot this setup?

[frail mural]

If that game runs fine on my system* I'm sure other titles using UE5 should be about the same, based on graphics settings

[hard spire]

Patch unfortunately

[mellow egret]

will have to try this

[light coral]

#📜┃gsc-answers message i remind you all

[fervent yacht]

It could be from your shadow and/or lightning settings.

[tight urchin]

I feel like the newer S2 Optimization and Engine Tweaks have actually made the game run worse

[agile pier]

Right now Stalker reaches ~4-5GB used memory until PL dumps it, then it repeats that cycle. Way better for me

[frail mural]

unofficial tweaks man, lol just delete the engine file and the game will generate a new one

[hard spire]

Those tweaks help more in GPU bound cases than CPU. Most people are CPU bound

[tight urchin]

u sure bout that?

[hard spire]

There are a handful of tweaks that help with cpu, but yes almost all tweaks in those are for GPU. Mainly reducing vram usage and changing lighting

[tight urchin]

it might also be the 15+ mods I've added tho 💀

[light coral]

what CPU tweaks are there?

[hard spire]

I'd have to look at the file again but they had to do with memory cache management

[tight urchin]

maybe it's time to try some of the other perf mods again, apparently Stalker Optimizer got updated and isn't poopy doodoofart anymore

btw I only need 29k more downloads on my basically useless txt files on nexus to get premium so please tell ur friends

[agile pier]

Kinda? Yeah. The recent antistutter mod on the other hand, I feel like that has actually helped me a bit with average frametimes

[tight urchin]

but doesn't that completely butcher visuals?

ah amazing, getting invisible anomalies again or is that just the hydroelectric stations feature

[brittle pawn]

guys is geforce now good?

[visual terrace]

I’ve been trying to get in contact with S2 modders about a commission. I want a mod to increase the bust sizes in women

[agile pier]

They uploaded a Mid Version, which saves some LOD and stuff. Personally, my game looks just fine

[hard spire]

I think we need the mod kit to change models 😋

[tight urchin]

someone asked how to install that mod yesterday

[split lion]

wait theress a mod to make the game run smoother atm?

[tight urchin]

#pc-specs message there's a lot 🙂

[agile pier]

I get better frametimes and smoother overall gameplay, yes. I also seem to reach higher performance around heavy NPC areas

[split lion]

shit thanks!

[hard spire]

There's a few but they're just UE5 config files repacked into a .pak file. There's not much we can do besides change values in the engine rn

[lime tundra]

atm I use Optimized Tweaks S.2, but there's also a steam guide for doing a Engine.ini file, but I think those 2 together can either work or partially break it

[tight urchin]

they do work pretty good for reducing input latency/lag tho, which makes framegen bearable

[split lion]

what would be the best to use? i asking for suggestions lmao

[tight urchin]

yeah it's a bit weird since S2 doesn't modify the engine.ini and doesn't change too much on it's own, but peeps been saying the game makes gamepass run horrible

been running Opti Tweaks S2 and Ulti Engine Tweaks since launch basically

[visual terrace]

Anyone have any luck with steam’s lossless scaling program? I used it yesterday to see if I could squeeze out a few more frames and it completely broke my game. I had to uninstall it and haven’t tried it since

[hard spire]

True, but those are mainly down to the mouse smoothing not being disabled by default and preventing the engine from rendering one frame ahead in my experience. You can change those values by adding a few lines to engine.ini and not have to deal with a mod

[tight urchin]

biggest change is actually setting vsync to fast in nvidia control panel lol

[lime tundra]

I had that mod and the engine.ini together and I had 40-60 fps in zallisya. that was 1.31 there's a updated version of it now

[tight urchin]

lootable animals when grok please do ur magic

[tight urchin]

I think I'm on 2.0 now but I might go back to 1.31 tbh

[lime tundra]

without the ini file i'm around 30-60

[hard spire]

I use Linux so vsync conflicts don't affect me in most cases. My control panel is barren of most of the settings you see lol

[tight urchin]

I can only spread misinformation since I do not know but I think the game forces vsync even if u disable it or sth, changing this to fast basically eliminated all the input lag I've had

been trying a-life for 30mins now and I live in constant fear and misery thinking about bloodsuckers spawning behind me, my heart can't do this
I think I updated my whole modlist 3+ times today, modders are going crazy

[hard spire]

Do you have a vrr display? I know framegen acts up if you don't

[merry talon]

There's a mod that does things to a-life?

[tight urchin]

I've seen that word a few days ago for the first time, I have a gsync compatible monitor but it's off 😅

[hard spire]

It changes values to the current offline system to make it "feel" more like a life but it mainly just makes things spawn further away so it's less noticable

[merry talon]

Oh sweet that's a huge step up from what we currently have, I'll be checking that out for sure

[hard spire]

Turn your gsync on! That's vrr. Things should respond better in general

[tight urchin]

think I'm gonna create a mod megathread or modlist tmrw, there's so much cool stuff out there

[pliant shell]

wait no mention of performance issues in the patch notes??? 💀

[tight urchin]

gsync completely messed up my adobe programs but last time I've hat it on was 2+ years ago probably
and my frametime hovers around 8ms so it does feel quite snappy

[merry talon]

My main monitor flickers very subtly in games when I have gsync enabled, I've had to learn to live without it cuz I just couldn't find another fix lmao

[flat brook]

AMD Auto update console just ripped me out of my game mid-combat..

I have an Intel chip and Nvidia GPU....

What kind of anomaly is this

[winter locust]

hey, has anyone had any issues with 60fps not feeling like 60 and more like 40-ish?
Turning on frame gen(fsr) smooths it out but adds too much input lag.

[merry talon]

Aha see you think you do, but your CPU is currently having an identity crisis. Let it work itself out

[hard spire]

Vrr can cause flickers with low fps. I notice it when I'm below 40, but input delay is noticably better across the board. If you use framegen you shouldn't experience much problems after they fix the issue with asset streaming frame dips

[tight urchin]

my free discord nitro month is gonna run out soon, I don't know how I'll be able to survive without this little guy:

[lime tundra]

For me it's mainly my cpu also. gpu seems to be having no problem at all

[vagrant pawn]

jesus had never any issue moved to second area i got (sound problems/1 min game frezes/ UI dont work properly anymore )

[flat brook]

If it magically turns into a 9800X3D i'll be fine with it, anything else, nuh uh!

[merry talon]

I've known you for approximately 3 minutes and that emote is your entire being to me

[tight urchin]

go into ur nvidia control panel and set vsync to fast, low latency to on, get the mods recommended in the pinned post #pc-specs message

[vagrant pawn]

my fking game freze

[tight urchin]

he's smiling through the pain I love him very much I'm doing great

[winter locust]

I'm using g-sync, I'll try the other suggestions in the pinned comment, thanks!

[tight urchin]

#⭐┃nospoilers_general message there are people complaining about gsync tho so idk

[flat brook]

I've just had the smoothest 3 hour session yet, even around Zalissiya. Really starting to love the game. (Albeit with some QoL improvement mods and tweaks)

[winter locust]

Damn, gsync could be the fault here, I'll try, thanks!

[tight urchin]

it's so hard to rec stuff because everyone has different issues and discord is the absolute worst for actually looking for stuff (and people don't explain how they're fixing their problems )

[brittle quiver]

My game will still not run past 15 FPS with all of the fixes possible, I'm considering refunding

[frail mural]

you can try downloading some ram

[tight urchin]

ah yikes, increased pagefile + shader cache too? mod folder actually called ~mods ?

Yes, plus testing every performance mod as well

[solemn island]

Laptop variants mate they are baaaad

[frail mural]

i know a fix, Sound Blaster X-Fi everyone immediately googles what it is

[brittle quiver]

I should get around to building a pc tbh, but still i'm distraught that this game will not run even with max potatoing

yeah then go for a refund if you're still able to, could always look at cloud gaming for now too

[delicate hill]

what should i do if i dont have a engine.ini? do i create one? how?

[vagrant pawn]

Flawless widScreen and mods from nexus | AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D RX 7900 XT 32GB RAM

[tight urchin]

u get the engine.ini from this too https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/17?tab=posts

[lime tundra]

So I did some checking with nexus mods and engine.ini combo's.
CPU: Amd Ry9 5900X
GPU: Asus 3070 Ti
32gb RAM Xmp in bios/Win11
Mobo: ROG STRIX X570-E GAMING

The mod Optimized Tweaks S.2 + steam guide for Engine.ini (top on the guide list 5* rating) combo works together so far with increasing fps and keeping it stable outside, during gunfights and in villages like zellisya. If you are near my rig with cpu gpu you could try it yourself also for a fps boost

[delicate hill]

i put it where the rest of the .ini's go correct?

[tight urchin]

well mods from nexus isn't exactly helpful, which ones

[mellow egret]

would you mind DMing me a picture of your SmartTrim settings?

Have you tried https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/60 potato graphics option

[lime tundra]

I also went in my nvidia config screen and put size shadercache on 10gb

[hard spire]

If you're gonna go with the potato mod variant why not just mod COP? 😅

[hoary copper]

He can run it once this game gets it's optimization updates

[brittle quiver]

No, I'll try it now though. why not lmao

[visual terrace]

Only thing worse than playing unoptimized S2 right now is playing unoptimized S2 with no mod support. I- I just don’t understand how Xbox players do it. Not even Ford is built that tough

[tight urchin]

have u tried booting the game without mods? tried to repair files? do u have enough ram/vram/pagefile/shader cache? did u check out the pinned post yet?

[hard spire]

Doubtful with UE5 being vram hungry and cpu strangling

[lone bluff]

Ultimate Engine Tweaks CRAZY INPUT LAG REDUCTION https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/17 reduced my input delay by a whole 5ms!

where do i even put this file in? my mods folder replace it somewhere else what?

To be fair I can run Warhammer space marine 2 and cp2077

[tight urchin]

so just once?

[split lion]

Huh werdly enough after installing the tweaks and such that first artifact at the beginning of the game doesnt show up when your looking for it anymore

[lime tundra]

It's strangling my cpu so much it turned into a bdsm enjoyer 🤣

[hoary copper]

I also have rtx 3050 laptop

[tight urchin]

you mean the anomaly or artifact? which tweaks did u install exactly? the ones from pinned post?

[vagrant pawn]

im gona restart and do excatly the same and if its crash again its maybe the FlawlessWidscreen

[hard spire]

Neither of which use UE5

[autumn crystal]

we need to wait for optimization

[split lion]

did the basic Optimized Tweaks S.2 mod and turned off overlay did the -DX12 thing

[hoary copper]

But still those games need even more vram for min graphics even tho I have 4

[hard spire]

UE5 realistically needs 8, guarantee you won't have any luck on any UE5 game with 4gb of vram above 720p. I'd bet $100 on it

[tight urchin]

that's weird, opti tweaks should not have that one line enabled that makes anomalies invisible... is the anomaly or the artifact invis?
u sure you're near enough for the artifact to show up? I looked for the artifact at those stones for 30+ mins too, have never heard about artifacts not showing up from that mod, maybe reload save?

[split lion]

yeah i went to the stop its in usually and its not there

[paper kite]

anyone know how to fix the bugged reflections on water? it turns white on the sides when moving the camera

Whoever suggested that potato graphics mod for my 3050 mobile system is a lifesaver, I'm getting 50 fps in the first city

[autumn crystal]

all games that require min 6 -8 vram are working comfortably on 3050 right now , of course with dlss and fg

[hoary copper]

Nah, I just go potato graphics mod with in game medium set settings and it ruins actually good enough, tho lag long term lag spikes are common

[tight urchin]

that's amazing to hear, adding it to the guide! which version u using?

[hard spire]

The potato graphics mod looks worse than anomaly 💀

[brittle quiver]

The newest beta one on the potato graphics ini

[runic beacon]

The input lag around settlements or when the fps dips is pissing me off. Even with the mods and ini tweaks its still happening

[hoary copper]

You welcome, you could try increasing graphics in settings to make it less awful and less pixely

[hoary copper]

I have no problem with that

[tight urchin]

the preview images are a joke lmao, u can't see anything

[hard spire]

It's probably due to a cpu bottleneck. Frame Gen gets real nasty with input lag when your "real" fps drops below about 50

[runic beacon]

Ye it's annoying me so much. Hope they fix it soon

[tight urchin]

nexusmods is so extremely well made, changed my username and when I click on my profile it still has my old link saved and I get a "this page doesn't exist"

[hard spire]

I really doubt the cpu bottlenecks will get remedied in any real way. We're talking about UE5 here. Once they fix a life it's going to be worse CPU wise

[orchid osprey]

After updating drivers, restarting pc,verifying game files i still cant load into my save, have anyone have the same problem?

[brittle quiver]

XESS is giving me the best frames alongside potato mod

[hoary copper]

Ultra performance? Or balanced?

[brittle quiver]

Ultra performance

[hoary copper]

I put dlss on dlaa and settings medium

[coarse linden]

Expect nothing, be positively surprised

[hard spire]

I'd love to be surprised but so far every UE5 title has the same issues

[brittle quiver]

I will continue playing around with settings, but a big thing this is doing is not maxing out my memory from what I can see on tsk mnger

[hoary copper]

Another tip, turn off everything that you don't use even discord

[brittle quiver]

Yeah that's what I'm going to do in a couple minutes, I normally don't run anything but this seems to be working well

[hollow aurora]

Anyone know any fixes for GPU dropping from 95-99% util -> 1% util and causing game to drop to low frames or even pause for up to 1000ms? Turning DLSS off actually seems to limit how often I frame drop. Framegen does nothing.

[hoary copper]

Graphics don't matter, gameplay does

[coarse linden]

Heh and people called me by all kinds of names when i was posting concerns about every big developer flocking to UE5 dumpster

[hard spire]

If you only have 16gb of ram and are adventurous, Linux will run better as it has less overhead. Even on my decent system there's a noticeable degrade in performance in CPU bound locations when I swap to windows

[unborn coyote]

Anyone have a list of settings that affect CPU the most? Even with DLAA on, Im still hard CPU bound on a i7-12700k. None of the mods or engine files seem to do anything other than reduce my GPU usage more

[tight urchin]

1200k? ❓

[somber flume]

hello, i wanted to ask because i have a crash which states that i have not enough vram to run the game, the strange thing being that i have a rtx 4030, im not very good at reading specs so i wanted to ask if that was enough

[blissful hawk]

There really isn't a 'setting' you can disable that will give a noticeable difference in cpu utilization.

[split lion]

yeah no for some reason that artifact is gone like it never was there also sent ya a dm

[unborn coyote]

12700k, my bad

[hard spire]

Yeah. I understand GSC not having the time and money to develop their own engine but this game is too ahead of its time requirement wise due to the engine. They clearly dialed everything they could back as far as they could while still having it look decent but UE5 is just too damn cpu heavy

[hollow aurora]

Anyone know any fixes for GPU dropping from 95-99% util -> 1% util then going right back to 95-99%. Causing game to drop to low frames or even pause for up to 1000ms? Turning DLSS off actually seems to limit how often I frame drop. Framegen does nothing.

[unborn coyote]

Rough. My GPU can handle everything on Epic, but my CPU is struggling even on low unless Im out in the middle of the woods.

[blissful hawk]

Oh yeah mine too, and I have a 7800x3d lol

[coarse linden]

Tbh these early UE5 builds are just not ready for proper production.. Evidence being that lumen and nanite are quite work in progress still

[hard spire]

You're CPU bound. Turning off dlss is limiting your overall frame rate more giving your CPU a small break

[unborn coyote]

Also, 30fps lock in-game works with framegen on, but 60fps lock doesnt actually lock at 60

[hollow aurora]

On a 7800x3d?

[hard spire]

Yep. Welcome to UE5

[hollow aurora]

CPU sitting at like 50% util all game. I actually don't believe you when you say I'm CPU bound. GPU is obviously having some hiccup issue that isn't being addressed just by hurr durr cpu bound by ue5.

[hard spire]

Monitor individual cores. If you're at 50% I'm even more certain you're CPU bound.

[somber flume]

My gpu´s box says it has 8gb, i dont know what´s happening

[blissful hawk]

He isn't wrong though, the game is very cpu intensive, but I do think there is some sort of issue with optimization that the devs can fix, so I am hopeful for a future update.

[coarse robin]

what is an rtx 4030

[somber flume]

4060 my bad

[unborn coyote]

Watch your GPU usage. If its dropping below about 90% then its waiting for hte CPU to catch up. Some CPUS only show 50% when theyre being maxed by a program than doesnt utilize all cores

[blissful hawk]

Are you using any mods? I know that some mods require a specific version of said mod. Atleast that was my issue since I was getting that error message even on a 24GB card lol

[autumn crystal]

anomaly card

[hollow aurora]

It's hard dropping to 0-1%. I'll check individual cores.

[night badger]

doesnt matter if you have 7800x3d or i7-14700hx, you run into cpu bottleneck in most scenarios. UE5 related + unoptimized game. you can check benchmarks from hardware/gaming sites

[somber flume]

no, i have just installed the game from game pass

[ocean grail]

7800x3d 4070ti super 32gb ddr5 6000mhz @cl30

[hard spire]

Theres absolutely an issue with asset streaming pegging the CPU occasionally but even with a 7800x3D your base frame rate isn't gonna get much better due to UE5 being so thread intensive

[tight urchin]

#pc-specs message maybe try running in administrator mode / increase pagefile/shader cache

[coarse linden]

Eh Presentmon exists if you want to make sure

[hollow aurora]

Tbh I'm ok with base frame rate dropping below 60. It's that the game hard stutter

My biggest issue is how the FPS feels. Other games with framegen dont feel so goopy and slow even when Im hitting like 80fps

[blissful hawk]

I really don't think its a UE5 issue imo, at least not the massive drops in performance like this game has.

[cosmic nacelle]

love how people are ignoring the fact its not this bad in other UE5 games lol

[hollow aurora]

tbh its just unoptimized.

[merry talon]

Is "Super A-Life Maybe" the mod that was being talked about earlier about changing some A-Life params?

[night badger]

Tell us your specs, resolution, ingame settings. There are ways to use Upscaling + FrameGen and the game not being sloppy, for example by disabling vSync ingame and enabling it in nVidia app

[hollow aurora]

yeah will have to come back to game in a few patches to play game i guess

HOW DO USE THIS ONE IK HOW TO USE NEXUS BUT WHERE DO I PUT THE MOD

[tired flare]

Why is the game default to 44% gamma? 50% is fine

[blissful hawk]

UE5 is actually optimized pretty well especially when compared to UE4, the game itself just isn't utilizing hardware properly.

[tight urchin]

try to look through the discord about this error

[hard spire]

The massive drops in performance is due to two key issues in the game right now. Memory allocation errors causing a vram leak, and asset streaming being unoptimized. UE5 really is just that cpu intensive though. This game is by far the best running UE5 game ive played other than the harsh hitches which are bugs

[blissful hawk]

Are you on gamepass or steam

[lone bluff]

Steam

[tight urchin]

check out pinned post, set vsync to fast low latency on #pc-specs message

[stable kite]

DLSS performance helped with normal settings but what is killing me is the fps drop to 5 seems a Vram thing what is the workaround for this

[tired flare]

Does anyone else have the display setting gamma set default to 44%?

[blissful hawk]

go to your games install directory wherever you installed it on steam (or right click it in your steam library, browse local files)
Stalker2\Content\Paks\~mods

if you don't have "~mods" make it yourself

[unborn coyote]

I run framegen through lossless scaling in Space Marine 2 just to hit 80fps and its feels fine. 100 fps with framegen in this feels like 30.

I have a 4070 12GB, 32GB DDR4 Ram, i7-12700k. 1440p, moving to 1080p doesnt improve frames or feeling in any way. Ive followed the pinned post and installed recommended mods, engine.ini, and fiddled around with settings. I dont see much if any difference in performance between low and epic. I have fast vsync and low latency on in control panel

[hard spire]

The vram issue is supposed to be addressed in a patch, but if you have less than 8gb you won't have any luck on anything besides all low at 1080p or above

[tight urchin]

depends on how good u calibrated ur monitor, mine's on 55% because I like to see stuff

[visual terrace]

This is definitely a game of the year contender for me. I don’t understand where people are coming up with these performance issues tbh I’m starting to think it’s Russian propaganda

[lone bluff]

cab i drag and drop?

[ruby valve]

RTX 4060ti 8 gb - Ryzen 7 3800x + 32gb ram, Stalker Medium or high with DLSS + DLAA = 70 - 120 fps, but drops to 5 😦

[blissful hawk]

you put any .pak files in there yeah drag and drop.

[tight urchin]

it's definitely one of the games released this year

[tired flare]

No I want to know what the game default is. Messing with ingame gamma isn’t what I want

[hard spire]

I know you jest but it really does feel like this is most people's first encounter with UE5 lol

[stable kite]

whats the settings that consumes most vram to turn it to low?

[tight urchin]

u could always reset setting too

[tired flare]

mine resets to 44

[hard spire]

Textures, object detail, render distance

[brittle quiver]

Alright same guy with the 3050 laptop, I'm getting 60 fps now with everything closed on my computer and the potato graphics and XESS performance preset

[tired flare]

I kinda like configuring it ingame to 30% which makes the left radiation symbol alllllmost disappear

[somber flume]

i think the problem is the cpu

[hard spire]

Well after the next few patches you shouldn't have much hitching either

[somber flume]

it sets at 100% in the loading screen and then the game crashes, but i think the cpu i have should be enough, i never had this problem with orher games

[brittle quiver]

The game still looks pretty damn good on these settings as well suprisingly, the only glitches I'm getting is hair stuff lol

[hard spire]

Default gamma was 44 for me as well

[royal schooner]

also when i booted again the game, my video driver and audio driver restarted

[ruby valve]

Game with 100% Usage GPU = 90 fps
Game with 70% usage GPU = 5 FPS
LOL

[tired flare]

It feels a bit too harsh and I upped it to 50. What about you?

[somber flume]

but i guess i cant play it then, thanks for trying to help me guys

[fiery thorn]

my game worked sorta, then i added some performance optimization mods, that sorta worked maybe not sure, then i removed them and now my game is crashing. reinstalled them, game still crashing lol.

[hard spire]

I also upped it to 50. My monitor only has 300 nits peak brightness

[ruby valve]

use other save, solved to me - Previously save

[lone bluff]

well dah problem is that they arent .pak files im pretty sure at least

[blissful hawk]

Okay, what mod is it?

[merry talon]

Is there a way to completely remove the crosshair? I can't seem to find it in any settings

[lone bluff]

the one i linked from the pinned messages

cus im on a laptop ill take what i can use rn 😔

[blissful hawk]

those are configs so you will have to go to C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Stalker2\Saved\Config\WinGDK

put your Engine.ini and your Input.ini in there
You can also press WINDOWS R and paste %localappdata% and just look for the Stalker2 folder

and after doing well for a few hours, I am again crashing with the error Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000000

[fiery thorn]

im getting the EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION too unplayable

[mellow egret]

I can't figure out what is causing it due to the inconsistency

[blissful hawk]

Hmm its weird because that's the one thing I haven't experianced is crashing. Just poor performance overall.

[mellow egret]

it's always an exception access violation through UE

other than that I have zero issues in-game, just these super inconsistent crashes

[fiery thorn]

i dont know if im crashingb because i saved/reloaded at a wrong time (like mid-script), or because i added/removed mods

[mellow egret]

I haven't done anything on mine. It's done this before and it worked fine again today for awhile

[raw sleet]

considering how this runs now for most ppl.. multiplayer will probably run worse.. wouldn't be surprised if it gets outright scrapped

[delicate hill]

was/is it planned?

[raw sleet]

yeah, basic modes, pvp etc

[grizzled pine]

hey guys, i got an nvidia 3060, amd ryzen 5700 and 16 physical ram and 16 digital ram (storage converted into ram) and uhh.. i barely reach 50's on the lowest settings.
is this normal?

[delicate hill]

man that would be really cool. just experiencing stalkers story with friends would be amazing

[raw sleet]

coop not on the list tho, just team deathmatch, deathmatch .. ctf i think too

[delicate hill]

ah man

[raw sleet]

if they don't scrap it, i just hope it doesn't divide their focus too much from improvements on the single player side

[golden talon]

Game runs fine for about 30 minutes then randomly drops down to single digit fps and stays there anyone know how to fix or do I just have to wait for a patch

[void storm]

Just have to wait for the patch. A lot of folk are struggling with that issue

[grizzled pine]

but seriously, is it supposed to run this low?

cause i expected to atleast run a solid 60 on lowest settings yet sometimes i reach 30's to 20's, as much as the game is fun this is EXTREMELY demotivating.

[golden talon]

Damn that sucks ty

[mellow egret]

this is not caused by RAM issues, GPU crash, CPU heat / overload, or "apparently" corrupted files

[delicate hill]

i crash with this too

[raw sleet]

tried enabling the FSR 3 Frame Gen option?

[grizzled pine]

what does it do?

[void storm]

Don't know if this is a definite fix, but disabling frame-generation has kept me playing for longer durations without running into the single digit frames

[mellow egret]

I've been watching resources and temps for everything and absolutely nothing is overloading itself, CPU and GPU at only slightly elevated temps

[raw sleet]

it'll help.. but may introduce a bit of mouse input lag (enabling nvidia reflex helps a bit)

[fiery thorn]

if your GPU has 8gb VRAM then youll have terrible performance no matter what, source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g03qYhzifd4

My 4060 is running just fine at 60FPS High settings, no stutter.

[upbeat finch]

chat help me how can i solve the frames issues ? i can barel play this game proprely

[delicate hill]

just restarted my pc and booted the game up. still getting 5 fps in towns. is this a memory leak or something else?

[raw sleet]

i get the odd stutters here and there, even in quiet areas without any npcs around.. kinda like OG stalker when NPC scripts would load as they came into range

[void storm]

Memory leak, devs are aware. We just have to wait for a fix

[grizzled pine]

i aint gonna lie chat, but if this game had segmented maps i think fps would be a lot better

[mellow egret]

process lasso has been effective for combating the memory leak

[raw sleet]

or some more aggressive culling (might help a little anyway)

[tight urchin]

I'ma go to bed now, have a good night my little gamers don't forget to !

[mellow egret]

this is also why I'm 100% certain it isn't a memory issue that's causing my crash

[tight urchin]

is there settings u could share? please also let me know if u find a fix for ur crashing 🙂 (u can dm me too if u want) will add to the guide tmrw

[wispy kettle]

How does the game look on a CRT? I'm considering buying one

[tight urchin]

yeah speculation is that dlss+framegen cause the memory leak (:

[delicate hill]

i dont think my performance issue is a memory leak tbh. theres no way i get em literally a minute in to the game while it takes an hour for everyone else

[lone bluff]

welp i can get as far as C:\Users\USERNAME--- and none of the rest i have two users or whatever and neither have app data in is but i will go scrounge around for it

definitely getting some strange utilization of hardware in the first town, GPU drops down to 60% usage but CPU isn't getting pegged at 100% either, it's just sitting around 70% on one core.

https://imgur.com/a/hardware-utilization-7xEZnsP

[mellow egret]

I'm just glad they addressed the exception access violation for the coming patch

I'm convinced this crash is pure witchcraft because it has started working and stopped and started again without any actual changes that I've made. I've validated files multiple times, each time coming back clean. My CPU is hitting 100% but heat barely rises. When I'm in game I run steady and smooth at 60 FPS on High in 1920x1080 res. My GPU isn't anywhere near maxing out, my memory only ever gets to about 60-65% load. I have tried all the tweaking mods and optimizations and also without them. I can not figure this out beyond UE5 just being held together by chewed gum and popsicle sticks

[still lark]

anybody play on a 3070 or a 4060? how is the performance?

[mellow egret]

4060 running fine at High in 1920x1080 60FPS. No stuttering, but I've heard others have.

[ornate nova]

3070TI plays fine at high 2k

[still lark]

is this game more gpu or cpu heavy? my cpu is kinda old and outdated

[mellow egret]

CPU it seems.

[raw sleet]

reflex is in the Display tab options, bout half way down or so

[mellow egret]

which makes sense with the massive amount of stuff going on ALife wise, along with the size of the map and zero loading screens

[blissful hawk]

Did you figure it out?

[lone bluff]

nope

[ruby valve]

I using 4060ti running at High, 80 - 120 fps, but on cutscenes or talks with npc, sometimes drop to 5 fps 😦

[blissful hawk]

Did you press the windows key + r and type %localappdata% and hit enter?

[mellow egret]

to be fair they really didn't get aLife super smooth in the original series either 👀

[lone bluff]

will do

[still lark]

hmm i see. thanks

[blissful hawk]

I wouldn't go out and buy a new cpu just for this game though lol, you will be disappointed for sure

[mellow egret]

Even though my CPU is hitting 100% it doesn't seem to be what is causing the crash I'm experiencing

[still lark]

nah i wont lol. im either getting a new pc or just upgrading my gpu,ram and ssd (im still on a 1660s)

Its in its dying stages. havent played games released this year at all (black myth, silent hill2, space marine 2 etc)

[south nexus]

has anyone gettin the problem that games initiate with potato graphics then took some time to renderize everything? freezing my game

[blissful hawk]

I mean there is some good hardware available right now for black friday so this isn't a terrible time to get your self an upgrade, I just wouldn't do it to improve this games performance

[worthy moat]

My cpu always sits at 6-15% whilst my gpu stays at 60-85% anyone know why this would happen?

[still lark]

lol yeah. its not specifically for this game but i do want to play this too lol.

[unborn coyote]

I keep getting "pure virtual function was called while game was running" errors when reloading quick saves

[blissful hawk]

CPU bound more than likely. Anytime your GPU is below about 90% it indicates CPU bottleneck, but the game is also poorly optimized currently so we will have to see what the future holds XD

[worthy moat]

Oh okay, would an i9 9900k even work with this game if it gets optimised? Or am I just wishing to much

[mellow egret]

my i5-12400F runs it when I can actually get into the game

[worthy moat]

On a 3060 ti

How much fps do you get in striders camp? I forgot the location name

[mellow egret]

You talking about the first town? 60FPS outside, some slight dips inside the bar itself.

[worthy moat]

The 3rd one I think. The one where they don’t do trading

[mellow egret]

Not quite there yet I don't think. I'm still hanging out at the trade post in garbage

[worthy moat]

How much do you get there atm and what graphics is yours set to mostly?

[mellow egret]

Set to High and I still get pretty consistent 60FPS with some minor dips to like 55 at worst.

[blissful hawk]

9900k is a solid cpu tbh, especially paired with the 3060ti. Think of it like this. I have a 7800X3D with a 7900xtx and I get roughly 70-130FPS at 1440p but I still get massive drops in certain areas, sometimes even if my FPS counter says 120+ it feels way lower.

[worthy moat]

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong then, cause roaming I get 40 fps ish and in garbage it dips to 30, 25 if im unlucky. Settings are medium with textures to epic as it doesn’t dip the fps.

[blissful hawk]

There is some very weird memory leak or something going on so I wouldn't blame your hardware just yet. The game is beautiful but the devs will come out with performance fixes, and drivers will get released for your gpu that may improve performance a good amount, we will have to wait and see.

[mellow egret]

process lasso has been effective for dealing with the memory leak.

[blissful hawk]

Are you using DLSS/ Frame Gen or anything?

[tender idol]

i just hope its good to go by the end of the week, i havent even been able to leave the lesser zone yet i feel so behind lmaooo

[worthy moat]

Dlss is in dlaa but changing it only provides small fps, and no frame gen as I don’t like the input delay

[mellow egret]

run as admin, enable SmartTrim, adjust the settings to your preference

[blissful hawk]

Is this something you have tried yourself?

[lone bluff]

thank you so muchhhhh i cannot fathom how happy i am i was worried this game was 120 down the drain

[mellow egret]

only issue now is the exception access violation

[blissful hawk]

I never got that error, do you think its related to process lasso?

[mellow egret]

No, happened from the start. It's inconsistent.

[blissful hawk]

What's your specs again?

[mellow egret]

i5-12400F, RTX 4060, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB SSD.

[mellow egret]

Yes, no change.

Core temps are also only slightly above normal when it happens

[blissful hawk]

Weird, most of the issues with crashing I've seen are with Nvidia and major performance issues seem to be happening with AMD stuff lol

[spare coral]

Apparently 8gbs of vram isnt enough for this game according to hardware unboxed
The memory leaks makes it impossible for 8gbs of vram to have stable frames (apart from the cpu problems it has)

[mellow egret]

Yeah I cannot figure it out whatsoever.

[blissful hawk]

Are you on steam or gamepass?

[mellow egret]

Steam. Also I'm running a 4060 with 8GB VRAM and I'm doing fine with FPS.

[runic widget]

i have a 2070 playing on medium the frames are fine but the stuttering and occasionaly freezing is annoying, usually happens on startup of the game

[worthy moat]

The stuttering and freezing can be fixed with mods on nexus

[brisk drift]

anyone know how to fix de sudden 10 fps bug?

[mellow egret]

If you're having issues with memory leak related crashes and stutter, use process lasso with SmartTrim enabled. It will free up the RAM that isn't being unallocated

[runic widget]

can you link them? and do they have to be installed with a mod manager

[runic widget]

are these in the settings?

[spare coral]

You dont need a mod manager, its pretty easy

[mellow egret]

Yes, it's under memory options.

[blissful hawk]

I wonder if there is any difference in the files from the steam version to the gamepass version..

[real loom]

does anybody know why it keeps crashing when it tries to compile shaders

[vapid vine]

FSR native with frame gen is great but the ghosting on the Holo sight kills it. Guess I'll have to live with it though to get stable frames.

[blissful hawk]

What is the error?

[mellow egret]

There is. I don't have an Engine.ini file. Never did from the start. My WinGDK folder is also called Windows and has a few other files that aren't there compared to gamepass it seems.

[worthy moat]

The ones I’ve got are https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/17 and https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/2 however you can have a look at yourself if there’s any other ones you’d prefer. https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl

or should i look to upgrade to a better cpu and then gpu

[coarse linden]

Lemme ask my magic 8 ball

I would say get the ryzen x3d cpu first then save for a good gpu

[signal osprey]

yeah i meant like should i look to upgrade to something even better maybe a ryzen 9 or is that sufficient enough for today's gaming

[spare coral]

That one should be more than enough for current gaming

[tired flare]

Anyone got tweaks to turn the graphics up? Game runs easily no issues and want some more quality

[signal osprey]

nice thanks

[mellow egret]

My memory load never exceeds 65-70%.

[worthy moat]

Share me some of your fps

[tired flare]

I just configured my pc correctly. Ue5 doesn’t work well with default NVIDIA seddtings either

[mellow egret]

also I do believe you're correct, I think the exception access violation errors are an issue with NVIDIA cards / drivers.

[worthy moat]

But yeah, nexus has a few better graphical changes in there

[fiery thorn]

i didnt fully pinpoint where/when/why i started getting exception violation errors, because i was messing around a lot with mods, ini tweaks, nvidia settings and more... i ended up deleting my save, deleting all mods, deleting all ini tweaks, and resetting ingame setting to default and no more CTDs

[mellow egret]

Reinstall worked for me for awhile too, but then it came back.

[worthy moat]

Could try to verify the files?

[fiery thorn]

its not great now but playable... with ocassional hiccups

[mellow egret]

worst part is that this happens after no changes have been made to the game whatsoever. Verify integrity comes back 100% clean as well.

[blissful hawk]

yeah I was looking at reddit after you mentioned that crash and the only people I see it happening to is Nvidia cards

[mellow egret]

it was doing this to me after a full day of gameplay, didn't start working again until I came home today, deleted my Engine.ini file and tried again. Then it worked for like 3 hours, then started this exception access violation CTD again.

That being said and checking all of my system resources and their temps, I don't think there's anything we can genuinely do to resolve this crash ourselves. This might just be a ghost in the machine until the patch this week.

[fiery thorn]

i dont even have a Engine.ini file, it doesnt exist by default

[mellow egret]

neither did I. Then I added one and tried a few times, then came home today and deleted it again and played for 3 hours, then repeated CTDs again.

Which again absolutely baffles me.

[signal osprey]

so ofc the ryzen 7 5800x3d is basically discontinued and impossible to get for less than 400, but the ryzen 7 5700x3d isnt, do you know if that one is decent or any others you can recommend

[edgy meteor]

Game file integrity or OS file system integrity?

[mellow egret]

both, I run scans weekly on my OS system integrity

[wide hamlet]

my overclock causes system acces exception

[spare coral]

The 5700x3d is about the same performance dont worry and get that one

[mellow egret]

I don't have anything OC'd either unless it's factory

[wide hamlet]

never get it when its stock clock but im on intel

[edgy meteor]

Have you tried nuking your GPU drivers with DDU in safe mode and reinstalling them?

[mellow egret]

I should say, I don't to my knowledge

[wide hamlet]

i hope the patch can increase the performance. its pitiful

[mellow egret]

no because if I have to go to that extent I will play inconsistently until the patch is released. Nothing should be wrong with any drivers or components. I do frequent checks on all components.

[unkempt bloom]

Why not get the 7700X? It's cheaper in most places i can find + its more powerful

[edgy meteor]

I'm getting 120fps average on 4k downscaled to 2k and epic settings with a 6900xt.

[signal osprey]

thats why i asked if any other suggestions that could possibly be better, im coming from a 5600g and have no idea where to go, i have a b550 tho

[spare coral]

Thats why i didnt recommend a cpu from the 7000 series cause you would need a new mobo and ram

[unkempt bloom]

i mean im running a 5600x rn. I would say you should be fine on the 5600g, unless you want to upgrade anyways of course

[signal osprey]

makes sense so would need a new mb for the 7700x?

[spare coral]

Yep + ddr5 ram

[torpid warren]

can some one tell me what this means? (LowLevelFatalError [File:D:\STALKER2\s2editor\Engine\Source\Runtime\RenderCore\Private\ShaderResource.cpp] [Line: 657] FShaderMapResource_InlineCode::InitRHI got platform PCD3D_SM6 but it is not compatible with PCD3D_SM5)

i see, so as far as am4 my best bet is most likely the 5700x3d though?

[mellow egret]

uh, I don't think that's going to work for you brother

[torpid warren]

oh well

[unkempt bloom]

Yes i would say so. However the 5800x seems cheaper in most places and has near idenical stats. 8 cores, 16 threads for both cpus

[fiery thorn]

the game runs like ass on all hardware, dont bother upgrading half your PC just because of one game

[mellow egret]

bro did you read the minimum system requirements at all

[signal osprey]

thats also what i was just about to look into the difference between those 2

[edgy meteor]

Strange things happen to PCs, sometimes even more so to people like us who run a tight rig. Something I've learned is that no matter how good I think I am at keeping it clean, I can't skip basic steps myself that I'd give to a casual user. The ole' "Have you tried turning it off and on again" still sometimes applies (though obviously not in this situation. lol)

[torpid warren]

yeah i just wanted to have hope

[mellow egret]

that's a massive stretch my dude

[unkempt bloom]

the 5800x performs better in most cases and is cheaper. If it was my desicion i would get the 5800x

[edgy meteor]

Derp, yeah. Let me test it with that off.

[torpid warren]

im happy i got to the main menu though

[wide hamlet]

in gorons room with FG looking directly at him, i get 114

[torpid warren]

huh ok thanks

[glossy flame]

you gonna play in frames per minute

[runic widget]

im on a 2070 and this studdering is so annoying i downloaded tweaks but its still eh

[mellow egret]

genuinely surprised it didn't explode during shader compiling

[fiery thorn]

FG + the weird mouse smoothing/acceleration + the uneven X/Y mouse aim sensitivy makes the whole game feel like im moving through marshmallow

[plucky crown]

if I play it too long it slowly gets worse and worse frames then it crashes lol

[glossy flame]

nah it's the input lag

[mellow egret]

process lasso with SmartTrim on will fight the memory leak issue

[glossy flame]

when i get high fps the sens is fine

[plucky crown]

what are those?

[runic widget]

i cant find this I have no memory tab in settings. is it under graphics

[mellow egret]

A program that handles RAM allocation and other hardware controls.

[plucky crown]

ah okay

[mellow egret]

SmartTrim is a setting inside of Process Lasso.

[runic widget]

where is that in settings?

did i miss the part in the announcement where they talked about the insane unoptimized state of the game or did they really not mention it?

optimization will take more time to directly address and fix compared to crashes and minor gameplay tweaks

ive got a 3080ti and a ryzen 9 5900x and the game is just barely hitting 25 fps

Is this game gonna get a performance update. I got an rog ally x and it runs 30 - 40 fps but it dips randomly

[muted widget]

I got an RX-7900XT and a 5600X getting barely 30 with doo doo input lag on the lowest settings possible you're not alone

Damn that's wild. Hope they fix it.

[brisk drift]

4060 and 5600x here, getting 80-90 fps but every time it suddenly goes to 10-15 and i have to reload the game

[quiet mason]

yeah I just cant believe they released it this unoptimized and gross looking like

[wintry needle]

fellow 5600x users unite

[fiery egret]

I'm just requested refund and it got accepted. Now idk wtf to buy since I was only interested in this game 😭

[edgy meteor]

Thanks for reminding me about that. Tested without frame gen and I'm getting a steady 65fps, still not too shabby.

[quiet mason]

Ofc the game wont have all the features of gamma but I was at least expecting it to run better/look better...

[ruby badger]

Bro I'm on a 2070 super, 3700x, and 16gb ram. I have mixed ranged of Low to Medium with shadow detail on high. At 1440p with DLSS 66% I am solid 40-50 fps dropping to 30 in the bar. I can even run with DLAA (full res) with low shadow detail staying 30-40 fps, aka a console.

I only drop 5 fps going into town, it's just the bar that hurts the most.

[muted widget]

8GB of vram getting 80 fps vs a 20gb of vram getting <30 😭

Wtf I can still play the game since I turned off Wi-Fi but I got it refunded lol

[ruby badger]

You will have several days before steam requires an Internet connection

[edgy meteor]

Steam?

[quiet mason]

the optimization is just off... Its trash everywhere for me nowhere runs well at least in the starting area

[fiery egret]

I'm cooked

[gloomy bough]

to anyone curious if there game will run it if they havent played yet and have similar specs to me here goes:
RTX 3070
I5 11400F 11TH GEN
16 GB DDR4 RAM

im getting stable 60 fps at medium settings high to epic is looking at about 40 so your playable graphics setting with frame gen3 enabled will get you 60+fps.

V SYNC also off

[fiery egret]

Bro I fought some dude that went in invisible until he got on my face and attacked. The mfkr killed me like 20 times til I cheesed his ess

[ruby badger]

It's not great but it's far from unplayable imo.

[quiet mason]

thats the bloodsucker Im past that

[edgy meteor]

Why did you refund it if you enjoyed it enough to keep playing?

[runic widget]

i think im going to refund i have simmilar stats to yours but more ram getting 40-50 frames but the stuttering is annoying and i have installed tweaks as well, not gonna buy until its fully optimizted

[ruby badger]

Past that? Bro there are so many to fight out here just in the first area

[quiet mason]

its unplayable for me Im just barely hitting 20 fps everything looks like dog dookie, outside of story theres nothing really fun about it :/

[fiery egret]

The game is interesting AF but damn it's so heavy. I'm surprised it ran on the rog ally x. If they optimize I'll rebuy it

[quiet mason]

hes talking about the intro part with the scanner Im assuming I've finished the first mission in the starting safe zone

[ruby badger]

I don't notice any stuttering, but I believe you. I did change my Nvidia shadow cache to 10gb but idk if that is relevant to this issue.

Are you talking about choppy half second freezes ever X seconds????

[lone bluff]

yeah im just gonna give up at this point

[muted widget]

on top of 96gb of ddr4 ram

[lone bluff]

screw this game im waiting for the hot fix 3 hours in the game and ive gotten maybe 5 min of solid game play

[fiery egret]

I feel like it's easy to get outnumbered. Everytime I wondered off I would get attacked by like 20 dogs or some big cow sized mutants who love to bodyslam me. The 30-40 fps and dips to 20s made me rage quit

[quiet mason]

they were too focused on making mid PCs being able to even run the game they forgot that higher ends cant run it either

[runic widget]

yes and its more dependent on if im rendering in an area, but it happens randomly some times. i hope i get the refund because i have jsut over 3 hours in.

[edgy meteor]

That still doesn't explain why you refunded it, though. If you think it's not optimized well enough to buy it, but you continue to play it, that's contradictory.

[mellow egret]

https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/69084093

ayyyy not terrible considering I only paid $830 in total for the whole thing plus shipping

[ruby badger]

Hmmm maybe I should upload a video with my settings. Perhaps something I've ticked that is overlooked has saved my ass from the issue you're having

[swift nacelle]

rtx 4070, 5800x runs fine, ocassionally stutters when loading enemy, everything epic, ultrawide 3440-1440. so far good all in all, with some optimisations and tweaks it will get better

[runic widget]

A big portion of my time is litterally just sitting and waiting for things to render.

[ruby valve]

I hope the day of the update arrives soon and I hope to resolve these performance issues.
It's sad to want to play, to be watching the BEAUTIFUL and SPECTACULAR game at 80 - 120 fps, but every 5 minutes it simply OUT OF NOWHERE goes to 2-8 fps and only comes back after about 5 minutes of pause.
Not even a mod can solve this, I've already tried 4 mods and none of them work 😦

how long have u been playing at that point? there is a knonw memory leak going on and every hour you gotta close the game adn reopen it toa ctually be able to play, if not you'll pause the game and it'll keep killinf the frames every 5 min at leawst in my experience

[quiet mason]

its such a shame that performance issues of all things would be what causes stalker 2 to fall flat... everyone was talking about how the gameplay wouldn't be like gamma but I can barely experience the gameplay 😭

[ruby badger]

Did you change your shadow cache size to larger than default? (10gb+)

[mellow egret]

process lasso with SmartTrim settings enabled will fight the memory leak issue

[limber panther]

yea actually i saw that but idk where to find this stuff at

[ruby valve]

I've been playing the game for about 12 hours, but even closing and opening it again, the problem persists 😦
I've done everything, the problem even happens if I play everything on bass

[mellow egret]

google process lasso

[kind night]

Search for process lasso in google

[fiery egret]

For those having trouble. Try my rog ally settings since I assume a more powerful PC will run better.
U can put everything on low but put textures on epic. Then use Xess on balanced .
See if that makes a difference

[limber panther]

Thanks will do

I'm sorry, that sucks. I can relate, though. I played EverQuest 2 on a potato when it came out. It would literally take me 5-10 minutes to zone to a new area. Still loved playing, but I felt really bad for my groups and guild raiders.

like the content in the game is very good, this is the type of survival wasteland shooter i love. but the gameplay is just hindered by the lack of optimization. I will most definitley buy it again in the future when its fixed tho.

[slender kettle]

simmer down chap

[mellow egret]

Your acutal RAM not VRAM. My GPU never tops out with 8GB 4060 on High Settings 1920x1080. Stalker 2 fails to unallocate allocated memory to some degree, process lasso frees that allocated RAM via trimming.

[ruby badger]

Do you have an Nvidia GPU and if yes have you changed your "shadow cache size" to 10gb or higher in the Nvidia Control Panel?

[kind night]

No harm in trying. Worst case it remains the same. Best it gets better

[heady ridge]

Bro no one takes an anime pfp seriously. Please cope.

[mellow egret]

6GB VRAM GPU is probably not going to cut it here. You may get by on low.

[quiet mason]

arr, the question should be, why aren't ye?

You should definitely increase the shadow cache size to at least 10gb. Make sure you have as many gb free as you have set

yarrr, ye must reside in the poopdeck

I heard someone mentioning CPU throttle / GPU throttle earlier but I'll be honest, I'm not really familiar.

IDk, i Have 5900X 3080ti, Temps never go above 70 to 75ish C°. Ram usage averages 6gb and also Vram

You should definitely be using more than 6GB of RAM.

This game is a wake up call to the 3000 Nvidia series owners.

[mellow egret]

4060s are only like $150-ish I think in some places

[turbid lion]

My excperience overall is that after a while maybe 1 or 2 hr of gameplay, the stuterring starts to come back, it feels NOT smooth, so then i have to restart the game. But usually it feels good.

Like its bad on the main Hub areas of the game, in the open I can sometimes get between 100+ to 140.

In Hub areas 90+ BUT it feels like 50/70 it feels weird.

[muted widget]

No the game is a wake up call to modern developers getting too comfortable with releasing an unfinished and unoptimized game to the masses

[heady ridge]

Here comes the anime speech with a dash of yap and cope, seasoned bitterly.

i think they called themselves out by putting upscalers in their minimum and recommended specs.

I just cant believe that Ubisoft has better visuals/performance on release than my stalker game :(

[heady ridge]

You want a real answer? Upgrade your GPU. You're welcome.

[mellow egret]

honestly I'm just happy to be able to play it, even intermittently. I'd rather they do this and get immediate feedback than push it off for another few months to a year with the possibility of similar outcomes.

[quiet mason]

what is bro supposed to upgrade his GPU to NASA tech? 😭

[limber panther]

buy a laptop witha 4080 integrated it works fine

[turbid lion]

They rely to much on DLSS/FSR and Frame Generation. This is the moredn problem of games, Nvidia and AMD dont sell GPU's anymore they sell upscalers.

Raw power is diminished in favor of upscalers AND AMAZING technology that we dont have the Hardware yet, Path tracing, rtx BS and such, Yeah they look good but we can't PROPERLY use them.

[muted widget]

ah yes let me upgrade my high end gpu to another similar performing gpu for 2x the money

[limber panther]

apart from the games horrendous memory leaks that i now have lasso with smart trim enabled for

[flint harbor]

My memory leak got so bad that now not matter how many times I load my save or reset the game.. I drop from 90 fps to 10 fps 10seconds later after I load it. RIP

[quiet mason]

you're upgrading to a nasa quantum computer at that point

[mental heath]

It’s no wonder every game looks like a blurry mess,

[mellow egret]

I do feel this though. Trying to get 240FPS everywhere constantly at 4k just is a diminishing return imo. 60FPS on High looks good and feels good.

[heady ridge]

It's similar performing on this game, but how about other games out there and non-gaming GPU-intensive activities, brotherman?

[limber panther]

I saw a joke on trhe comments of this guy I watch on YT, randomgamingHD: Stalker2FPS Heart of bottlenecks

[muted widget]

if you ask me the fact that video games have taken to online stores like on xbox, ps and steam means devs can really sell something unfinished early to fix it later on. back then the game was sold as is in most cases

[turbid lion]

on a 60Hz monitor yes. on a High refresh rate monitor Never. Thats the issue IMO

[quiet mason]

not having issues on other games tbh lmafo

[muted widget]

100+ FPS on every other game with max settings and 1440p, bait used to be believable

Look I'm having issues on my 4090. I empathize.

[quiet mason]

hes speaking facts tho, all the modern released games have had trash optimization/performance for the release which is just annoying

[mellow egret]

another set of diminishing returns in my opinion. I enjoy my 27" curved monitor in QHD. It looks good to me and plays what I want at a steady 60FPS for most games. I don't really need it to be that crazy.

I've said this before, but the main issues with the game are software-related. Those that have similar high-end rigs like mine also experience problems.

[ripe furnace]

anyone here extra PC savy and know about bottlenecks and willing to answer a question

[quiet mason]

yah just upset its not more optimized on release its really annoying to deal with

[orchid hull]

Computers will always have bottlenecks.

[heady ridge]

Escobar was the easiest block ever 🥴💯

[quiet mason]

just push release dates back I'd rather wait longer than you take my money and I dont get what I paid for :/

[muted widget]

i honestly thought my poor performance was from my CPU bottleneck lo

[mellow egret]

I agree. I believe the exception access violation error I am dealing with is software related. I think something is going on between UE5 and some Nvidia cards.

[coarse linden]

Since its "better" to take momentary PR hit then delay game without funds to support the delay. More or less

[limber panther]

Am i mistaken in thinking that general jank and fps issues is pretty normal for stalker? I mean even tho old games feel choppy without mods and stuff, I mean correct me if i'm wrong

[edgy meteor]

I'm so tempted to run this on my 1080. It's already installed as a second card in my rig.

[ripe furnace]

i know, im just curious how bad mine is because i cant tell. im running a 4070 ti super and an i9 9900k. i dont seem to have many issues, but i just read that getting a higher resolution monitor than 1080 will actually improve the bottleneck, is that true?

[muted widget]

you got 2 cards running at once?

[orchid hull]

If you are having less GPU usage than CPU usage then it’s a GPU bottle neck. If you aren’t pushing out more frames despite changing settings, you are CPU bound.

[quiet mason]

theres jank and than theres sub 30fps on high-mid end cards on the low-mid settings

[limber panther]

Yes becasue then your gpu will be used more to render higher resolution

[ripe furnace]

ok then i am definitely having bottleneck issues. i know i need to upgrade, but i JUST got the GPU. cool, i learned something today thanks

[orchid hull]

Yes this will further push the GPU rather than CPU. 1080p gaming is dead. Time to upgrade to that sweet 2K - 4K.

[edgy meteor]

No, the 1080 sits idle unless I use it to multibox Diablo 4.

[heady ridge]

Anyone here have an AMD Threadripper and A6000?

welcome to Alife

[ripe furnace]

one more question. i still have a 650w PSU (a good one). should i upgrade to 750 before i go higher res just to be safe?

[quiet mason]

id rather the game be buggy than having these performance issues because at least a bloodsucker getting yeated at mach 10 because the ragdoll physics are goofy is funny, but theres no enjoyment at crappy performance on my UE5 game >:(

[heady ridge]

Banish this topic from this channel 🙏

This is the only game-related channel that mentions that can of worms the least.

[coarse linden]

Seems bit hasty to go out there to buy new hardware for a game that havent even been through few patching rounds

[limber panther]

REAL I remember playing call of pripyat and just randomoly having severre stutterswhen the game was calculating stuff then everything going back to 120 fps lol

[muted widget]

was about to say lol, i have several gpus next to my desk so i was debating on running one of my nvidia gpus second to my 7900xt, nvidia supports shaders on games like roblox
was debating on trying it but decided mixing brands wasnt a good idea

[ripe furnace]

nah i didnt get it for that, ive had my PC forever but just upgraded my 2080 super cause i was due for one. not sure why i started with the GPU but whatever. it works well enough for now

[orchid hull]

650W is considered low wattage anymore. I wouldn’t go anything lower than 1000W anymore. Check PCPARTPICKER and plan your wattage accordingly. You can never go wrong with extra power but you can always go wrong with less power.

[mellow egret]

Alife has never been and likely never will be optimized to a serious degree. It's great, I love it. It's just resource intensive sometimes.

[ripe furnace]

wow really? i dont even have any issues currently with 650...but noted. thanks friend, you rock

[orchid hull]

(Unless you are over clocking / under clocking. Base clocks though, extra unused wattage won’t hurt.)

[muted widget]

1000W is generally a good idea for modern gaming, but ultimately the minimum should be to spec with your GPU and stuff if not a little higher
i personally like my 1000w over my 750w i swapped it out for cause of the fan knob on it

[limber panther]

650W seems a bit low (IMO) for a 4070 TI Super in general, like ur cpu prolly taking up a decent chunk, Im running 850W psu with a 4070TI SUPER OC in my tower at home I havent played stalker 2 on it tho cuz im in the barracks far far away

[orchid hull]

Pretty much this. Aim for 1000W or more. 1000W primarily though. Your pc ain’t beefy.

[ripe furnace]

alright cool. this is good info. i appreciate you guys

[edgy meteor]

You can run shaders on one card but play with another in roblox? Or am I misunderstanding

[coarse linden]

Tbh 650w can be just fine. If its quality. 4070 ti super is about 300w card and cpu most likely just pulls like 120w so there is still headroom

[orchid hull]

My 6950 XT and 5900x runs just fine off 1K wattage. Take care of your pc and it will be happy.

[muted widget]

i was saying i was debating on using an nvidia card just for roblox and the shaders on it, and the AMD GPU for every other game,
its theoretically possible according to the things i've seen on it but i'd rather not have a fire hazard/driver issue, i have quite a tiny case

[ripe furnace]

im mostly worried about going forward with more upgrades. its been fine with my current setup. definitely regretting upgrading GPU fifrst

[heady ridge]

Fire hazard? Do you connect the cords half-as.sed?

[orchid hull]

yo fr 😭😭😭 bro using the EVGA GPU. That shii be sparking istg

[coarse linden]

850w if you want to be future proof. 1000w if you got extra money

[mellow egret]

your rig will suicide before there is any concern of fire

[muted widget]

small case plus big gpu plus medium sized gpu = not enough airflow = overheating = rhetorical fire hazard

[limber panther]

EVGA used to go soo hard tho

[muted widget]

b550 ud ac mb: nah i'd win

[mellow egret]

brother there are hardware limitations to prevent that kind of overheating

[orchid hull]

Nah my EVGA GPU AND PSU had the worst fan noise. My PSU died trying to juice a 1070 ti. I had to replace that 750W with a Corsair one

[heady ridge]

Yeah bro ur cooked. Might as well keep your pc in a freezer or hook a leaf blower up to it.

[muted widget]

no ofc but i'd rather not play electrical engineer with my 3 year (?) old rig

[limber panther]

Damn, thats tragic new patek automatic

[flint harbor]

I got lasso, where is the smarttrim feature?

[orchid hull]

PC was ready for take off. Competition with the PlayStation 4.

[mellow egret]

you're not playing engineer anything. the components of your pc will not allow themselves to go to that level of heat without shutting off

[limber panther]

In main, top left of app

[mellow egret]

under options -> memory as well

[muted widget]

so it would seem

[orchid hull]

Yo real quick, how do people manage to break their computers? They been made idiot proof.

[limber panther]

Do you think it could beat the PS5 Pro? In noise and performance?

[mellow egret]

no, still possible. just not as easy and not from things like overheat.

[wild steeple]

[orchid hull]

[flint harbor]

Just anable? nothing else?

Smashing that poor poor CPU into the socket with power of 1000 hulks

[heady ridge]

Original Xbox One? 💀

[limber panther]

so buy an UPS?

[edgy meteor]

Oh, yeah, that would work fine. When I multibox, I have 1 instance of D4 running on the 1080 and 3 instances of it running on the 6900 simultaneously. The only time I've run into issues is that rarely a specific game, for whatever reason, will choose to only launch on the Nvidia, and I have to disable it in the device manager to get it to use the AMD. Then, the other issue I've had is with AI image gen, Stable Diffusion will default to the Nvidia drivers and refuses to launch with my AMD, and in that case I have to uninstall the Nvidia drivers completely to use SD on my AMD. (And my temps are fine with an open air case, with no case fans)

[orchid hull]

LEMME JUST FORCE THIS CABLE THAT IS CLEARLY RESISTING

[muted widget]

i've done a few dumb shit with my pc's in the past

[mellow egret]

within reason

[orchid hull]

Great for marshmallows. You and your puter having a campfire

[mellow egret]

doing things software wise is a lot harder now. like I said with overheat. components will just shut the system down or themselves down to prevent heat damage / fire

[orchid hull]

Them fan curves ain’t no joke for newcomers

[muted widget]

im curious to try it, only i've broken one of the pieces that holds my gpu in place on one of my pci slots**, so it'd be difficult to fit the 3060 in with the 7900 without worrying of suffocating them thanks to my small case
also idk if my PSU could deal with it

[mellow egret]

hardware will still notice the heat level and simply shut down though. you really can't hurt doing overclock any more for that reason. at least not that I've seen. worst that happens is that component crashes and comes back up or you have to reboot.

[south nexus]

does anyone here had this issue and fixed it? https://imgur.com/a/booLvub my game just start like this and keep frozen till renderizing everything, cant find a way to fix it :/

[heady ridge]

Curves? 👀

[orchid hull]

YO

[limber panther]

bloodsucker curves 👀

[coarse linden]

Heh.. Liquid metal with aluminum cooler and non backplated GPU below it since those werent really a thing back then

[muted widget]

go ahead and clock out for me

[orchid hull]

You be surprised.

[mellow egret]

what, you using a GT series card?

[orchid hull]

I would do unspeakable things to that damn thing. They ain’t trapping me, I be trapping them.

[limber panther]

There’s no shortage of fish in the sea at least in stalker 2 the amount of them is WILD lmao

[orchid hull]

AMD. 6950 XT. I don’t side with Nvidia rn.

[edgy meteor]

PSU may be an issue. I bought a 1000w just because I knew I might go wild with my GPUs someday. But, my 1080 is only a few centimeters away from the 6900 fans, and so far I haven't had temp issues. The 6900 IS really hard to overheat, though.

[orchid hull]

I only need one trust

[mellow egret]

this would be considered an analog issue though

[edgy meteor]

Cardboard spacer wedged in, full send.

[mellow egret]

and a true analog fix

[tranquil pebble]

6650xt, i get 40-50 fps on lowest settings :/

[coarse linden]

Kinda ironic... CPU bottlenecking issues and we lower graphical settings making work easier for GPU that causes more stress on CPU making the bottleneck worse since CPU struggles already

[limber panther]

Is it illegal to post screenshots of performance stuff

[sturdy rover]

yo I cant load the game, i get in the main menu and then when i click load or continue, it crashes, first time this has happened ive been playing perfectly fine

[coarse linden]

Corrupt save?

[sturdy rover]

I tried 3 saves, same all around

[mellow egret]

does it give you a specific error?

[sturdy rover]

lemme look

[glacial rune]

For amd gpu users. Is it worth it to update the fsr.dll files or nah?

[muted widget]

with the available pcie slots rn i'd say i have about the height of a AAA battery worth of space betweem the gpu's and the bottom gpu with the floor of the case

[reef iron]

looks like i lost all my saves all corrupt lol over a day played

[sturdy rover]

now the thing works, the fourth save worked

[mellow egret]

Did AMD at some point get good? AMD was consistently shit on as I was growing up.

[glacial rune]

Theres levels throughout the years

[limber panther]

Their gpus blow(IMO) but they have good cpus

[muted widget]

i mean i got a 20gb 7900xt from work for $649, it goes toe to toe with a 3090 so i'd say it's pretty neat

[glacial rune]

gpus have been better price to performance since 6xxx series

Regardless if you're not buying a top sku it really doesnt matter which card you get

[mellow egret]

I like my 4060 thus far

[limber panther]

True but I mean in overall like power, they’re great on a budget, but if you got the cash there’s no reason not to go Nvidia of course you pay the premium nvidia sticker price…. The nvidia tax if you will

[mellow egret]

it handles everything I throw at it

[coarse linden]

I still suffer from 5700 era abysmal drivers PTSD

Like i needed to shuffle 3 drivers for different games it was absolutely abysmal

[glacial rune]

To an extent, so far nvidia still doesnt have the ability to introduce (frame gen) to any game pretty much. Really anyone looking for anything under a 4080 super level would be happy with either brand at this point.
Well maybe not intel but thats a whole different issue lol

[glacial rune]

I bought a day 1 5700xt and it was rough for a little bit lol. Eventually they got a little better. But no issues on my 6750xt so far.

[limber panther]

lol Intel GPU’s I will say though I am excited to see what intels cooking with that stuff the first and gpu I ever bought a 6700XT 12 GB never worked and I returned it and I was ptsd’ed ever since. 900 bucks bro. NINE HUNDRED. This was during the semiconductor microchip apocalypse

[coarse linden]

Only good thing about it was that i managed to sell it double the price i bought it because cryptobros were blowing each other off

[glacial rune]

I did the same thing. Also sold my 2070 super for almost 3x what I paid due to the cryptobros

[coarse linden]

So unless AMD magically gets their raytracing performance up to par and really sticks it up with price i aint going back to suffer from drivers.

[marble jackal]

If anyone has nVidia gpu and gets decent (65+) fps, with native scaling (TAA 100/DLAA) and FSR3/FrameGen ON, in hub areas, but the game plays like crap, i might be able to help. It involves mod usage tho. PM me with your specs.

Unfortunately im not good with amd stuff.

[turbid lion]

why not just post it here for everyone?

[mellow egret]

Unhandled Exception: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION reading address 0x0000000000000000

Any thoughts lads?

[turbid lion]

sound like im going to get scammed

[glacial rune]

Honestly more of my friends with nvidia have had driver issues recently. As someone who switches back and forth between the two its really a toss up as far as which is better. Not many of my friends play with raytracing so they pick the one with better raster performance (which currently is amd)

[coarse linden]

DDU wipe driver and reinstall. Quick and dirty

[mellow egret]

I just don't get why it would be a driver issue, but I guess I'll try it

[limber panther]

Side question Is there any reason to use anything else other than a decked out Akms-74s I swear this gun is the best gun in the game lmao.

[glacial rune]

ammo availability, I keep forgetting to stock up lol

[mellow egret]

Drowned is great. That quick reload mag and VG-25 is just too good

[limber panther]

I’m playing hardest diff and I have permanent ammo for days 😭

[glacial rune]

I also keep forgetting to turn off mouse accel and its starting to show

[mellow egret]

I know I'm a dick for stealing it but I also went VARDA (WARD) so what do you expect

[coarse linden]

Eh edging on the no spoilers

[mellow egret]

I don't think there's any spoilers there really

[coarse linden]

Which is why i said edging

[mellow egret]

no edging allowed, sorry

[glacial rune]

No edging in zone ™️

[merry talon]

Spoiler gooning?

[mellow egret]

the AKS-74 with the PSO on it is also good but not being able to swap from irons to scope is unacceptable imo
edited because i made myself cringe with mislabling

[rain fox]

I wonder if a lot of these issues are due to 4000 series because with my 3080 I have insanely good performances (my system is pretty good and stable even if it's 4 years old). However, I'm thinking about going with AMD, maybe the RX 7900 XTX or wait for RX 8000 series next.

[glacial rune]

I'm waiting for 8xxx series. And the people I know with issues are all on 4000 series so that could play a part

[quartz sluice]

Intel literally became an incel

[limber panther]

I’m tryna find a supressor for my ak74, is possible?

[mellow egret]

don't think so. I think it's only the upgrade for the flash hider/muzzle brake

But don't quote me on that because I'm only at the Garbage

[limber panther]

Unfortunate, it’s wtv tho, it’s borderline impossible to stealth anyways and ohh that’s funny, I’m at rookie vill rn

[mellow egret]

MAC-10 with a stendo is possible though 👀

[edgy meteor]

You inspired me to run one. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/69084366 My dumb ass dropped 5k on it at the height of covid when prices were peak.

[mellow egret]

I would be farther if my game would get past shader comp. I'm procrastinating on DDU wiping my drivers and reinstalling them

[heady ridge]

virus

[glacial rune]

Not userbenchmark

[coarse linden]

Pff userbenchmarks lol

[rain fox]

Only Intel processor I would get if I had to go with Intel for whatever reason, like for using IPP in a more stable manner would be the 12900K, 13 and 14 gen are just time bombs even with the microcode patch, anyway from what I've heard lol. Thing is the 12900K don't support more than 128GB of RAM and for working I would like to be able to have more since I need a lot of RAM when working.

[coarse linden]

Might as well believe no name youtuber for cpu performance

[glacial rune]

Thats a lot of words, too bad it translates to "amd is doing better"

[mellow egret]

I don't acknowledge the rating system but the comparisons for price to performance are generally good

[edgy meteor]

I'm confused. Virus? Not userbenchmark?

[coarse linden]

I mean userbenchmark is such biased bs it could be considered a virus lol

[glacial rune]

You can get better info from google imaging photos of benchmarks

[glacial rune]

They have a super heavy bias twords certain brands. The most recent issue was when amd released the 9800x3d userbenchmark instead recommened purchasing an 15 12500f because ~~~ cpu doesnt really matter when you have more than 6 cores

[blissful hawk]

It finally happened to me after 20 in game hours lol
https://prnt.sc/blgzCeice4vs

[heady ridge]

I was joking. I just don't like your obnoxiously long morse code server name. 🥴

I made it when they had us change our names. I was drunk af.

[edgy meteor]

Unfortunately, I can't change it on this server, either. lol

[glacial rune]

Nitro ™️

[mellow egret]

this is also why I don't really want to do the DDU wipe and reinstall, as I've already done a shitload of troubleshooting and it may or may not fix it / it will likely occur once more after playing for some time. I will await the coming patch as they stated they are addressing this specific issue.

[edgy meteor]

Being drunk works as an excuse every time. Late for work? I was drunk. Ran a red light? I was drunk.

[glacial rune]

Have you given some mods a try to fix those?

[rain fox]

Yes, for my next build for work I might go with the 9950x, there's also an iGPU and because I'm not working in graphics, it would be perfect for me. Since the Ryzen 9 5000 series, I'm sold to AMD.

[mellow egret]

Yes. I have tried literally everything everyone has suggested and everything I've seen online. I've also checked resource usage and temperatures. I think it's just an issue with NVIDIA compatability right now.

[coarse linden]

Well you havent tried DDU wipe

[solar helm]

https://imgur.com/a/S20ooWm Just upgraded my PC yesterday, case, fans, AIO, GPU. The GPU even comes with a custom sag bracket which is pretty cool

[mellow egret]

correct, as stated here

[glacial rune]

4080?

[coarse linden]

Needs more gamer lights for better FPS

[mellow egret]

considering it has stopped and started without any changes and with the same drivers, I have a hard time believing this would be a permanent fix.

[solar helm]

No, 4070 ti Super, the collab that GSC did with MSI

[rain fox]

Hope it works.

[glacial rune]

I almost picked up the 7700xt frostpunk 2 edition because it looked sick

[coarse linden]

One thing that i have learned with PC shenanigans is that it doesnt really care what i believe when something is going wrong

[solar helm]

It does, around 85ish FPS. At 1080p. Hopefully that number goes up with the update coming. Also, very nice! @glacial rune

[edgy meteor]

If it were me, and having something be the only thing I haven't tried, it would gnaw at me. I'd try to sleep and my brain would be like "What if that was the issue"

[rain fox]

The backplate looks dope on this one.

[glacial rune]

And the white is just all around sick. But I told myself I would wait for 8xxx series to upgrade so I had to hold back

[rain fox]

It's probably what I'm going to do as well.

[marble jackal]

How are you going to get scammed by telling me your specs... Lol. I wont post it here, because thats a bit of explaining and 90% of ppl will ignore it anyway and my msg wil drown in matter of minutes. So yeah, id rather have few people pm me so i can actually try and help them, than waste my time here.

It just the same when i told ppl on nexus they can edit some pak files with notepad++ and change param values for their needs when they were spamming for said changes. Guess what, noone gave a fuck.

[mellow egret]

alright, alright I get it. i'll do the thing

[coarse linden]

Feel free to yell at me if it doenst fix it

haha, I was just saying if it were me.

[long geyser]

#1 optimization mod on nexus actually works like magic (at least for steam players)

[eternal grove]

hey all!

[turbid lion]

Imusing the FSR mod from Nukem9, and it works better than any mod in Nexus, Thats my experience, you guys should give it a try!

[long geyser]

Updating the FSR/FrameGen files is different but also recommended. I did that as well (but on the Nvidia side)

[coarse linden]

This is tech support we dont do niceties here

[turbid lion]

I know S2 already has fsr FG built in however the mod for some reason works better!

[surreal osprey]

So im on the part where I got to talk to Diode, but the traders in that area hate me and I cant enter the building, how can i make them like me

[blissful hawk]

Pretty solid build, your cable management hurts my ocd though

[heady ridge]

Nice spoilers.

[solar helm]

I plan on fixing it, my brother did it while I was sick. H9 flow is pretty neat for management though

[eternal grove]

Damn, been spotted. Guess the friendly act can go

[long geyser]

Give the mod I'm talking about a try if you haven't already. It's easy to test and it will probably help a ton

[coarse linden]

Thats what they all say

[blissful hawk]

I feel it, I have definitely seen worse tbf lol

[turbid lion]

I did it and for some reason it runs worse than only doing the Nukem9 mod

[solar helm]

It gets on my nerves too, don't get me wrong

[long geyser]

Gamepass? VRAM on gpu?

[heady ridge]

Anyone here getting 200+ FPS?

[turbid lion]

[heady ridge]

What specs?

[edgy meteor]

I don't know if this "mod" (It's just updated upscale files from the manufacturers) helps, but it might be worth a shot. https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/36

[night tide]

What's in ur pc?

[solar helm]

I'll write it down on my desk. A napkin, probably. Still sick though, have to wait for that lol

[long geyser]

5800X3D and 4090, but those are AVERAGE framerates. The issue is that the game has stutters resulting in poopy 1% lows, my lows fluctuate between 30 and 90fps and they change rapidly. CPU and GPU utilizations also fluctuate rapidly. They aren't stable at all

[blissful hawk]

Same, but that is like super rare lol on my 7900xtx 7800x3d 32gb 6000MT/s

[heady ridge]

What settings though? Epic?

[long geyser]

And no I don't maintain 180, usually it's 140-150

[long geyser]

Mostly epic, some set to high, especially those closer to the bottom

Whether I set everything to epic or low, it doesn't matter. 1% fps is still volatile af and annoying.

[heady ridge]

I got at least 120 FPS on Epic with this build before I called it quits at Zalissya until next patch:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/3cJJCd

[blissful hawk]

Facts. It makes your average become like 70-90 if you try and benchmark it lol

[eternal grove]

So I got an issue, been having this crackling sound that bleeds in hard whenever there is any sound in playing in game. Even at the start menu. It gets so bad it travels back into my audio interface and affects my mic

[long geyser]

Did you give the most popular optimization mod a try? It helped me noticably

[edgy meteor]

https://i.imgur.com/E4ANuYR.mp4

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Retnaburn/builds/#view=Vqrrxr

[heady ridge]

I don't wanna play modded because I achievement hunt on Steam 🥴💀

[eternal grove]

How would I check up my audio drivers to see if they're up to date? Most issues folks have are graphical and I can't even look at that before solving this.

[long geyser]

Yeah so I was thinking, maybe I should wait for a stability patch, which will probably be closer to the actual implementation of A-life, together with everything else they'll have fixed until then..

[surreal osprey]

When caught by Korshunov during Dangerous Liaisons, choose Escape to avoid the Ward ending.

[long geyser]

I think they're achievement friendly. Worth trying out for sure

[blissful hawk]

Tbh it only gets worse the further into the game you get, I'm in the end areas and man some of the spots are damn near unplayable, the frame drops add like 10x input delay at times too.

[merry talon]

I've been using mods and can confirm achievements work, I just got one 5 minutes ago

[long geyser]

So I'm guessing that's in comparison to village? (Started one obv)

[candid reef]

Hey, I have a rx 7600, amd ryzen 5 5500, 32g of ram. and can barley run this game

[heady ridge]

Gotta a wait a week anyway. Home for Thanksgiving 🦃

[candid reef]

is it a problem with the game or my computer? i run bo6 completely fine with 70 fps on max settings

[heady ridge]

Game. Software (predominantly)

[eternal grove]

Is the software also the reason for audio issues?

[heady ridge]

Idk. I've no knowledge of those or experience with issues like that.

[late ferry]

oblivionk has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[eternal grove]

Its heavy crackling but this is the only game I have issue with. Even the settings between "mono" and "stereo" dont say much

[blissful hawk]

probably about the same as the village idk I never see insane lows like some people at 2fps but some of the later areas even if there is no enemies I drop to the high 40s mid 50s constantly lol emissions multiply the drop x2. But in the starting areas you would get relief at least when you went exploring.

[candid reef]

anyways, everytime i run stalker i have textures on medium everything else on low, honestly less then 40 fps

[long geyser]

I've had drops to 20, but I can't remember if it was with or without the tweaks, and the way I managed it was to run around, jump and move my camera as fast as possible

What amazes me is that it's not just "horrible" 1% lows. Like, it's not a stable poopy number in intense areas. Even in these areas, it can go from 30 to 90 and back to 90 then 40 then 50 etc. it could be ANY number in that range with no pattern

[heady ridge]

When I got 1-4 FPS talking to a dude in Zalissya I was like nahhhh 🥴

[blissful hawk]

So odd lol, I really don't understand how people are solely blaming UE5 for these performance issues. I'm sure UE5 has its fair share of bugs, but the performance oddities that occur on damn near any hardware points to the optimization of the game itself imo. But only they can really find out what is causing this.

[candid reef]

that was me talking to boomer

[long geyser]

A big portion has to be the AI, however, I've noticed 1% fluctuations even in areas with no AI. The difference was that the numbers were higher

[mild sonnet]

vram overflow probably. happens often

[eternal grove]

It could be an audio driver thing, and I know stalker players are always big into computer tech. Idk, any and all help is appreciate cuss I've tried streaming this game twice before and it fights me every turn

[mellow egret]

prepare for the yelling

[candid reef]

does it do this on other games or this one?

[eternal grove]

and I have a pretty heavy duty pc in terms of literally everything else.

[long geyser]

You can be in the middle of nowhere and the 1% will still be volatile, just high enough that you wouldn't notice if you didn't monitor them

[heady ridge]

At 10/24gb? 😭

[mild sonnet]

oh then i have no clue lol

[eternal grove]

Nope, just stalker 2. Even when Im not streaming on obs

[marble jackal]

If anyone has nVidia gpu and gets decent (65+) fps, with native scaling (TAA 100/DLAA) and FSR3/FrameGen ON, in hub areas, but the game plays like crap, i might be able to help. It involves mod usage tho. PM me with your specs.

Unfortunately im not good with amd stuff.

[blissful hawk]

I can see it, sometimes the AI seems to duplicate itself in certain instances lol I've walked into rooms with AI spawning over and over and over until there were like 30 corpses, it seems like there is some weird spawn logic or something.

[candid reef]

its probably something with the game. it did just come out like 3 days ago.

[coarse linden]

Oh boy

[eternal grove]

There are people not having the issue and are streaming it no problem

[mellow egret]

repeat after me please,

"Bones was right and I should not have questioned his judgement."

[long geyser]

yeah the spawns are weird. The good thing is that these issues can be ironed out

[coarse linden]

Bones got lucky this time

[eternal grove]

could be my audio interface or my pc itself

[edgy meteor]

At least you won't be up all night thinking about it. lol
