What a horrible disappointment :(

[NitekPL]

Why does this happen? Again - this game is based on faulty unreal engine. It has serious issues and I still wonder why devs are so stuck to unreal in 2024. I have a serious rig. Meaning a really good pc.
14900K [patched, not faulty] 4090K, 64gigs of 6800 low latency ram nad a 5gen Crucial t700 4gb ssd drive.
And of course like all latest UE games it stutters. Silent Hill 2 remake has the same issues reported by players.
It has been documented that UE is the snowflake of engines. It crashes a lot, it needs special treatment and still performs like a snowflake princess.
DEVS - STOP USING THIS crap engine. Just stop. While all games work fine Unreal needs to have issues. I know it's too late. I know this game has to flop and I am so sorry.

Other issues:
Controller is NOT working, needs a fix. Steam inpur or not - it just does not respond. Interface recognizes controller [shows press A to start etc] but does not work.

Gameplay and graphics:
Game looks like a remaster of the 2007 game. Really. It just looks like an old game that just got remastered.
Textures at everything maxxed out look like crap. Foliage looks dated. WHAT the actual HELL are you doing GCS? I Was waiting for this game for so long.

I am really emotional at this moment. I was about to refund but I need to sleep on it. Probably will refund in the morning.

What a shame.... what a horrible shame.

EDIT:
*refunded*. I can't do any other UE5 game that is horribly broken on launch. I needed this lesson and will take a large detour from UE5 games.

your cpu is the problem. i am using a 4070 and a 7800x3d running max settings on 1440p getting roughly 120 fps with frame generation on and Dlss

It isnt solely UE 5 as I have Satisfactory which is on UE 5.3 and it doesnt stutter. It may be some feature or features that Satisfactory doesnt use though.

Slava Ukraini. But not in game development.

Dont foreget the non-existing Flashlight Shadows, even Half Life 2 got this Shadows.

Are you sure you have the most recent microcode from the BIOS update that actually fixed the issue and not one of the 2 prior updates? The real fix was just released maybe 2-3 weeks ago.

DLSS Mode Quality?!
Playing with Frame Generation and 4070 DLAA around 80 FPS at the very very beginning.

Really? Everything else is running fine but Stalker has issues. Like I said - princess of engines.

It's not on me, my pc - it's on the developers, their engine choices and decisions.

oh.. and also that.

Graphics = good, fps = fine, crashes none, sounds like i problem with your system.

[Citizen Sloth]

Always wait a few months to buy games. I know its hard to do for some of you guys/gals but you need to learn this.

if you think the game looks like a remaster then you need glasses and your head checked. if you think the textures look bad... again get glasses and have a doctor check you for recent concussions

Sh2 had a stutter problem that was engine related. Digital Foundry pointed that out in their video. Thats what he is probably referring too

The question is...how the ♥♥♥♥ did you not see this from a mile away?
