Micro Stuttering when I use scope start happening after 72 hours and ~49 mins

[Raptor]

Hello everyone ... Here is how I traced the issue :

I have a weird issue that start happening after the mission Escape the swamp and this issue stuck with me after this mission regardless of the area, I reloaded an old manual save just before the swamp mission and there is NO STUTTERING ... I hated this mission so much and I don't want to replay it especially that the issue may still reoccurs after this mission.
PC specs : 13700K , 32GB RAM , 3080Ti
The issue : there is micro stuttering when I zoom with any scope and I use the scope a lot.
I tried lowering the graphic options even to all low and the micro stuttering is still there.
Re-installed Nvidia driver - clean install the driver - up the cache limit in NCP, and it's all the same.

Update : replayed from the old clean save, replayed the whole swamp mission, went back to Zaton ship .. sold my loot .. went on a secondary mission all good so far .. manually saved .. went to kill some bandits>loot them ... walk back to the ship and in my way the stuttering start happening ( same type, visible on zoom ).

Replayed from the same clean manual save > no stuttering > quickly killed the bandits and went back to ship without looting and while i'm inside the ship the stuttering start happening.

I think it's time related.

Update 2 : retest again ; loaded a clean save> directly walked back to the ship to pass time and it happened again around the same time ( save time 3d 00h 49 min ).

SAME! wow thought i was going crazy. (game pass version). lets upload issue reports please hope Devs fix it. I read that its sleep related and other issues and nothing was fixing it. It's literally baked into the game eh.

[Max]

Literally!!! You are so clever! i have 2 saves 3d 47min perfect. 3d 50 min horrible. I attest to this bug on game pass version. Thank you!

I can confirm this as well. Same timeframe. Aiming starts feeling like Fallout 3 on the PS3 suddenly.

Yes thanks for finding this out. My saves also have over 3d49min playtime and have this exact issue.

Roger that - sorry to hear - we are all in the same sad, sad stalker2-less boat.
The more of us make detailed reports to the Devs the faster the fix!

Thank you for confirming

same stuttering for me while go in sight and so on

what i have spectated is in Yaniv where you have the mission to go to Prypiat and there is a optional way with the Scanner behind the Tornado anomalie through a breakthroug in the floor.

once you done it and you go back to Yaniv and try to go through the same one underground tunel to prypiat - there you u find thounds of rats spawned in - fps dropping to 5-10 fps from 120+

and also in the mission "down below" the last final mission there is some point in the mission where you go through a door and there are 2 or 3 wooden boxes filled with hundreds of meat cans wich you can loot.

my fps is from the beginning of this mission so bad compared to the rest of the game.
when i reach this point on this mission and i pick up all cans of meat and put them in one corps my fps performance is coming back to stable.

so there is for sure at some point of the game items and ai (the rats) spawning in big numbers at once what eats the performance

I have not been to Yaniv yet and for me its definitely triggered by in-game timer rolling over 3d49min

done and done

OMG I thought I was going crazy, now it's worth to fight for this bug ... will report it to developers. thank you everyone for confirmation.

I've also been dealing with this over the past week.

I just tested this with a save I had before the microstutter started in my game. Playtime was at 3d44m right before a cutscene in "Subtle Matter" and aiming/zooming is normal.

I entered the cutscene and fast-forwarded through it which only took about 30 seconds. I immediately made another hard save and playtime now shows 3d52m (it advanced 8 minutes!) and now the microstutter is present when aiming any gun or zooming in and out.

So it looks like this is indeed the cause of it. I submitted a report and my save files to the devs so hopefully they can get it sorted soon.

Thank you very much everyone! I so want to get back to that masterpiece!

I cannot even play even disabling FrameGeneration on/off it doesn't work anymore. Aim is heavy like insane input lag and game runs like 18-30fps feels like. Befre i was able to play like couple hours with disable Frame Generation!

[Max]

Yeah it like degrades post certain playtime its incredibly weird. Best we can do is make detailed respectful bug posts to the Devs and hope.

I just got this bug last night. It triggers after I sleep. Even on older saves, after a few sleeps it still triggers. You are probably right about it being time based.
