Very low fps in game and main menu

[Alexander Head]

I simply entered the game today like any other day, and out of nowhere the menu works at 23 fps and the game has very low fps, when even at launch it was running smoothly (Obviously with DLSS and Frame Generation, I have a 3060 Ti with 32 of RAM and Ryzen 5 5600x), not at native resolution and "real" fps, of course, but it was fine to me.

Does anyone know what can happen? Is it because of the game or some problem with my PC?

Whats the Resolution your running the game at?

Did you install new GPU drivers?
Did you clear your Shader Cache?
Did you clear unneeded files from your harddrive, or do you have a program that does that in the background at regular inervals like once a month?

Playing on 1080p.

And Yes to all of your questions. Newest drivers, Cleaned cache and cleaned files.

For what i have seen, only happens with this game, RDR2 and other games runs as always for me.

Just had same thing. Yesterday playing fine, now started the game, and game runs like in 10 FPS. Absolutely nothing done with my PC. sad...

[Alexander Head]

Well, at lest we know it´s not an isolated case, haha.

Try disabling frame gen, drop the texture or shadow resolution by 1 setting, and then restart your computer.

Probably i should have made clear in my previous post that you should avoid clearing the Shader Cache's.

You should not have cleared the Shader Cache files unless you can manage to complete Compiling Shaders, also installing New GPU drivers and choosing to Reset/Clear the old driver files would delete the Shader Cache.
Doing Disk clean also deletes the Shader Cache's

You can try to complete compiling shaders by just restarting the game everytime it fails or want to skip it, it should progress further each time (i recomend opening Task Manager and looking at CPU use, if it drops under 5% for the game for longer than 10 second its not going to progress, end task, and restart the game untill it completes it.

The game need the Shader Cache or its gonna try to create the shaders while there needed during your playtrough wich causes at the least verry low FPS, or even crashes/freezes.

Just reinstalled the game after the new 1.1.4 (First I just updated normally) and... Sitll having that very low fps even on the main menu. Its so strange, because the shaders compilation works perfectly fine for me now, but the problem was even before the 1.1.4. At launch, game worked fine, with Dlss and FG, but fine and nothing of fps decrease on main menu.

Any advice, guys? Haha

The game using the same settings?

[Alexander Head]

Yeah, i tried to change some settings and low some of them (I could play with almost every setting on epic before with no problem) but the problem still remains

I´m gonna reinstall Red Dead 2 to make sure if it is a Stalker 2 specific problem or something general on my PC

something similar happens to me. performance tanked one day randomly. have you managed to fix it?

[Ziros]

This just happened to me too. I have tried rolling back drivers, rebooting, many game restarts and forcing shader cache to recompile. Nothing helps

mine, shader cache load time so 30 seconds from sata ssd without cpu & gpu turbo mode
with ddr5-6000MHZ (CL36-36-36-96)

If you got DDR5 than you should have M.2 PCIe 4.0 slots so i would look into buying one of those SSD's as SATA has a verry limited speed.

[squidek4]

M.2 SSD that's only for windows, all standard steam games (300) is on 2x4TB WD-GOLD and ssd-games is saved on sata ssd
