Optimize performance by configuring Unreal Engine 5.1

How to optimize performance by configuring Unreal Engine 5.1

If you're experiencing low FPS or performance issues, you can improve the game's performance by configuring the Unreal Engine 5.1 that S.T.A.L.K.E.R.2 uses through configuration files. This guide will show you how to remove most stutters, improving performance and stability, decreasing input latency and improving overall picture quality by disabling film grain / chromatic aberration.

Config File Locations (Steam & GoG vs. Gamepass)

The locations of the configuration files differ between the Steam/GoG and Game Pass version.

- Steam / GoG:

%localappdata%\Stalker2\Saved\Config\Windows

- Game Pass:

%localappdata%\Stalker2\Saved\Config\WinGDK

v2.0.0 (2024-12-02) - Steam & GoG Configuration

If you own S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 through Steam or GoG, do the following

Step-by-step instructions

1. Navigate to the config file directory:

%localappdata%\Stalker2\Saved\Config\Windows

2. Open the file GameUserSettings.ini and add the following lines at the end (Change the lines with comments according to your system spec, see section 'Change these parameters' for a full listing)

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the scope of these configurations? What does it affect / change?

• Disable mouse acceleration for snappier mouse movement
  
• Disable film grain and chromatic aberration for improved image clarity
  
• Enable asynchronous shader compilation to speed up game booting time
  
• Configure render streaming based on VRAM size to reduce stutters
  
• Improve CPU, GPU, RAM, SSD utilization for better performance
  
• Reduce input latency
  
• It does NOT touch any graphics quality settings that you set through the ingame menus (aside from max FPS, VSync) - these you can still pick and choose for yourself!

Whats with all the different versions? How do i know what i need to do? THAT IS SO MUCH TEXT!!!

You have two main routes you can go:

A) Use the mod "Ultimate Engine Tweaks"[www.nexusmods.com] from Nexusmods (which you need to register an account for) directly and follow the directions there. They are equivalent to what is stated here in the guide.

B) Follow the instructions here in the guide. About which version to pick: Always pick the latest version (v1.2.0 as of 2024-11-22) and pick the section with the platform that you purchased the game on (Steam vs. Gamepass)

And as to why all the versions - I come from a software engineering background, so that's my mode of work, to version stuff, keep a changelog, document changes over time and keep older versions around. Update 2024-12-02: I have removed all pre v2.0 sections from the guide to shorten the guide.

All this stuff is just placebo and doesn't do anything! It doesn't work on my machine!

If you only want to state your frustration that you haven't found The One Configuration To Rule Them All which magically fixes everything for you, go ahead. But if you want actual help with fixing issues, then at the minimum state more information about your information / system:

• Which version of the configuration did you use (see version numbers on the side sections)?
  
• Are you on Steam or Gamepass?
  
• (For Gamepass only): Did you REALLY create a new file Engine.ini, or an Engine.ini.txt (by right click in Explorer -> New -> Text Document, without overriding the file extension) - Check your Windows Explorer settings and verify that file extensions are shown, and the file is listed as 'Configuration files' and not 'Text Document'
  
• Did you set the appropriate value of r.Streaming.PoolSize according to the VRAM size of your GPU?
  
• Did you check the other values in [SystemSettings] with comments (Comment is something with '; some text' at the end of the line) and set them accordingly?

How often will this guide get updated? Do i have to manually edit config files for the rest of my life?

A new guide version will get released for every update that the mod "Ultimate Engine Tweaks"[www.nexusmods.com] from Nexusmods gets. How frequently that will be, i cannot say (sorry my All Seeing Orb broke just a few days ago :/). However, when GSC starts rolling out patches i recommend reverting the changes and doing a fresh baseline test with a new game version first.

How do i revert all this? I want to get back to a clean slate!

For Steam & GoG:

• Navigate to %localappdata%\Stalker2\Saved\Config\Windows
  
• Open the GameUserSettings.ini
  
• Remove all the lines at the bottom at the file starting with the block
  
  

  [Core.System]
  r.XGEShaderCompile=1
  r.XGEShaderCompile.Mode=3
  

  
  and below

For Gamepass:

• Navigate to %localappdata%\Stalker2\Saved\Config\WinGDK
  
• Delete the Engine.ini file

[BattleBard]

After doing all the changes, setting them to 16gb vram numbers, my perfomance has improved massively, but now all shadows from the sun flicker, stutter and twitch around. I also don't have a VRR monitor, and deleted those lines. I also have 64gb ram

[GafferGragz]

Take a copy of the existing file to a folder you create as a backup for edited game files.

When you want it back you just copy/paste it and overwrite your edited.

[Capt. Cotton-Eye Joe]

For 20GB, take the number for 4GB and multiply by 5.
So 3072 x 5 = 15360
15360

From an earlier comment

[ID]

Thank You! This seemed to eliminate stutters and increase FPS without noticing any major visual degradation. Bravo!

[ZzStrongzZ]

How can I setup for r.Streaming.PoolSize when I only have VRAM: 496 MB

[Hewchy]

are there conflicts if I already have an input.ini file I made doing the same thing? for some reason none of the changes seem to be functioning.

why do only some of them start with /script and others dont?

Trying to figure out why none of the changes seem to be applying

[Silenius]

I have still heavy aim post patch 1.03 previously it was playable, disabling Frame Generation doesn't work anymore. Games feels like 18-30fps heavy aim, i tried everything nothing worked! I have RTX 4060

[Hazoufl]

I am desperate...
Two weeks ago, I've switched from a 3060 to a 4070 RTX laptop
I've tried altering the GameUserSettings.ini in-line with instructions...
I've tried the ~paks mods on Nexus. I've tried running as admin. Using the pre-launch properties some mentioned. Disabling the NVIDIA overlay... changing the CUDA system fallback policy someone was lucky with... Changing through various up-scaling methods. Playing with various DLSS frame gen on and off ... and these are only the ones I can remember now...
After a while, or after a few reloads, the game starts ... "crawling" to a few FPSs, it's not even funny anymore...
I was checking the details in the task manager while gaming, the VRAM (dedicated GPU memory) fills up... I eyeballed it - the app progressively and aggressively takes more and more memory until it runs out (?) and I assume this is the reason. I could close the game and restart it every time - but really I'm fed up with this nonsense

[DeadJericho]

the performance improvements seem to work on gamepass, but every time you load the game the shaders have to recompile. they obviously compile faster, but it shouldnt need to do it every load
any fix for that?

[󠀡󠀡]

It indeed works on GameUserSettings.ini... I get better FPS now... I don't know if it was 1.0.3, placebo or what, I'm also gonna tweak the foliage with another guide I found, let's see if it really works this time, thank you!!!
