Claiming the refund

[seb_x]

Ok, my patience has run out after 1.0.2. You sold unfinished, untested product and I will get my money back, either from you or from Steam. I have decent specs (Win 11, 4070 Ti SU, 32GB, 800W PSU) and was making my rig ready for this game and then you make me to deeply dive in my PC specs (registry, drivers, OS tweaks) to make the product to work (for few minutes until next crash?
Guyus I've been in IT for 20 years, managing complext IT projects, and have never, till Stalker 2, such a buggy, unstable, unplayable "game". Let me know when you finish testing your game. Bye.

depending on where he lives that may be irrelivant, most places have a 30 day money back rule on products (obviously some rules to it)
Steam will honour a refund if the product doesnt run as it should, like they did with cyber punk and other games when they didnt work.

3h with crash after usually max 5 minutes, managed to get to opening intro after pre-game mission.

You're screwed. That's more than 2 hours.

Edit: Unless that claim about refunding if it doesn't work properly is true.

Well, hopefully Steam recognizes the "quality" problem with this game and takes right decisions.

The few times I tried to refund past the 2hr mark due to technical problems steam has refused even if it's barely 2hr unless you live in a country with decent consumer laws you're not getting a refund

And you posted this instead of just refunding why? Do you want to talk about your other problems? Is the wife unhappy with only one bull and is looking for another one? Do your kids hate you? I mean what is the reason to stand on your soapbox and proclaim to the world that you want a refund instead of just opening a ticket?

[TEKK3N]

You omitted to list your CPU.

[seb_x]

No wife, no kids, just some stupid forum participants and broken game.

[Absinth Minded]

See, that's your problem. Go get some tiger!

Yes, fair enough. A problem may lie in the fact that the game does seem to run ok for some players (give or take a few bugs and some general jankiness).

Refund your not working properly, as usual, nvidia shill. They look good on paper but stability and real performance is laughable. DLSS + FG on nvidia crash in UE5 like crazy. Why you are flying to greencrap like moth's to the flames is beyond reasoning.

Have you played Stalker Clear Sky without the patches? It was a lot worse. So, it's just the signature quality of GSC

It just works on old nvidia drivers and wind10 without any updates for a year now, there is something wrong with your software on your pc. You have been in IT for 20 years and you can't figure it out yet?
