Did you really had to use UE5?

Just saying the game would probably run way better on something else. It makes no sense that we have to use DLSS or FSR to have good fps. I dont think the switch to UE5 is ready. Probably would have better reviews also.

The issue with Unreal engine is that companies are standarizing an engine when the hardware of most computers isnt adjusted to it, You need a specific type of graphic card and available upscaling settings to even run these games without wanting to die.

Companies be thinking we live in 2032 already to manage games like this for most ppl.
less than 25% of steam users have graphics cards at or above the 3060 which is the industry standard rn which already barely runs some Unreal engine games

Even consoles arent strong enough without going to low resolutions. Idk what they were smoking.

Maybe they'll fix it in 10 years time, maybe the modders will ( they surely have done more than the devs at this point )

But only time will tell

Again what engine do you think developers should use for large open world games instead of UE5?

I'm not here to defend every game switching to UE5, but in this case, I don't see many alternatives:
- X-Ray - it's basically dead and they haven't worked with it for a long time. Yes, there're OpenXRay/XRay-Monolith projects, that improve things a bit, but there's a reason why no one created anything really new. Besides it was outdated even back then, and that's why...
- 4A Engine (Metro series) was created by people who left GSC. This could be a good candidate if 4A helped, but there might be eg. licensing problems
- to create new own engine (for this scale) you need much more money, experience and people, imho situation would be much worse with worse effect

They are not part of any other "group" that gives access and have their own proprietary engines eg. EA with Frostbite, Capcom with RE Engine, Bethesda with id Tech.
No much is left. Unity, Godot etc. obviously wouldn't be better.

The last one I can think that could be available and would fit is CryEngine. This is also (afaik) a hard engine to work with but it's my best bet.
I have no information why it was rejected but Crytek recently (2015+) had many internal and financial issues, so they might not seemed so stable.

And besides like JetLi said before me, in UE 5.1 their most used system Nanite is underperforming + there are few other problems. Hopefully just updating the game to recent version will fix it, but we'll see...

You can google for more alternatives if you don't know

what alternatives? unity can't handle this kind of game and the others are proprietary engines

ROFL what a cop out. i already know what engines are available and what engines are best suited for this type of game. Im asking you to back up your statement. If this game has been ruined by choosing UE5 what would you say was a better choice.

UE5 = aids in the gaming industry.

The only real alternative I can think of is CryEngine... but afaik it's also pain to use and hard to master (see eg. Kingdom Come release problems), with less guides available.
On top of that Crytek wasn't very stable when Stalker 2 was planned.

Oxymoronic response, if you already know then that's good.
