Still terrible preformance, No one talks about the game anymore.

[R for Reload]

This game failed as bad a dragon age veil guard.
No A-life.
They are still planning on releasing a DOA multiplayer mode
Imagine playing this game ONLINE PVP with this HORRID PERFORMANCE.

Incoming bootlicker posts saying the game runs great and that your PC is just a potato.

but anyways enough about sim city 4, its lets talk about stalker 2 time from now on
Performance is inexcusable, I am able to run games like 2077 or RDR2 on ultra graphics but my rig is strugging here, and the quality of picture stalker 2 produces is, honestly, nowhere near. Software raytracing called l*men was a mistake. Its sad to see how so-called 'modern gamers' make excuses for releases like this one.

I could run cp2077 at 720p at 60fps on 1050ti
I can't run stalker 2 on 1080p with 60fps with a 3080ti/9900k

funny I run stalker 2 on max 2k with a 9900k and 4070 super averaging over 120 fps you zoomers need to learn how to use computers

Let me guess with DLSS and framegen? no one wants to use that garbage.

He does.
They don't know what they do.
Ill-informed people

What do you expect ?

Its supposed to be "next level" or "next gen" graphics and the game too.
Cyberpunk ran badly at the beginning and still doesn't run great when you max out all the settings.
If I put everything to epic on Stalker 2 I get about 130+fps on my 14600Kf and 4080, if I put AA to TAA (which is preferable as on Epic I get weird shimmering on foliage) and I get 60+fps, which I'm ok with.
I'm running on 3440x1440.
1080p is more taxing on the CPU than the GPU, so maybe run a higher resolution and it will likely run better, you can't really complain when your CPU is 5 generations old.
It was a good CPU when it came out, but the 9900k is getting on a bit now, you need something better, better single core performance.

People would complain if they could run it on a potato.

tbh, imo, you cannot please all of the people all of the time, and you shouldn't try either.

Upgrade the CPU or run higher resolution and lower settings.

Timespy compare, between 9900k, 10850k and 14600Kf.

You could likely upgrade to a 10850k or 10900k for very little, I actually did and I made £80 more selling my old 9900k system than what it cost me to upgrade to the 10850k.

9900k's still sell as good as buying the 10850k.

An upgrade to a 10 core CPU would benefit you greatly and it would cost very little to do it.

Dude you didn't read a single thing I said
60FPS on a 1050ti with a 9900k ON CP2077 THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE ON STALKER 2. stop shilling please.
Outside of MMORPGS and games like RIMWORLD these games aren't meant to be CPU heavy.
I don't think you understand how computers work.

It's not even like it's A-LIFE 2.0 that's causing these CPU issues
its just the horrible optimisation.

Stop shilling.

They should improve frame rate in pripyat and in all bases.Outside all the bases the frame rates are stable and mostly smooth but inside bases it's so stuttery and laggy especially rostok. And in pripyat it's below 60fps all time it's unplayable. And these bunch of stupid no life 12 year old NPC/bots saying get a better pc. Those who always bootlick these unoptmized messy games and mention get a better pc i wish I could drop a nuclear bomb on you

[spaghetti]

i do :(

Game MOSTLY runs ok for me on a 4070Ti but I get random freezes at times where I have to hard reboot machine since I can't get task manager to come up. This tends to happen more in shops also I noticed where I'm trading goods or getting weapons upgraded.

Also have noticed weird things with A-Life rendering another Stalker trailed by a group of wild boars and when I try to talk to the random Stalker he tells me to talk to his boss, but he isn't trailed by any other human stalkers, only wild boars which are following behind him. Those wild boars should be other human stalkers since the wild boars usually attack humans. So they definitely have a lot to work on and improve with this game. I think it has memory leak issues (causing the hard freezes) and bugs with A-Life. Game needs some more optimization for larger towns with lots of NPCs so frames don't drop too low.

zoomers have no money are are the ones in this steam hardware survey buying 4060's and trying to play this game. Nvidia marketing machine is working well selling 8GB VRAM cards in 2024/2025

There are a few mods that got alife working up to 850m which is not bad. But yeah this game has so many damn bugs and missing features, its a damn shame. Probably could have spent 6months longer in the oven but I understand GSC had to release it now.

Just try to use mods to help tie things over. Unfortunately no mods fixing quests or memory leaks yet. Some that help with performance tho.
