Fix Stutters and FPS Simple Guide For Stalker 2

[@LeStream2ManuYT]

How can u put -dx12 for a XboxGamePassPC as launch option ?

[@Qloud7]

You have to make a shortcut for the Stalker2.exe, go to properties of it, then the “shortcut” tab. Should be able to enter -dx12 in the target field

[@vloduha]

What CPU do you have?

[@dra6o0n]

This is because even if you set everything to low, nanite and lumen still runs.

[@gazzy9136]

Their marketing was scummy. They knew the state their game was in, that’s why we never got any real gameplay footage before launch because they know it would hurt their wallets. So they hyped it up as if the game had really “gone gold”. Yet stalker fans justify the bugs, lack of original content and performance. If any other dev released a game like this, it would be trashed so hard by everyone. Double standards….

[@Kman1989]

I also have a 1660 super. Stay away from towns is all I can say. 5fps incoming if you do

@@Kman1989 Use engine .ini modding and use r.nanite=0 and other cvar to disable stuff. Maybe force the game to run in dx11 so it ignores nanite being used?

There's no way at the moment to improve the performance. Gotta wait for the hotfix patch. Also, "-dx12" is useless since the game runs already on DirectX 12 anyway. Click farming at its finest.

Is the reason that this game is so demanding on hardware because its not fully optimized? I can run Most "new" games (Cyberpunk etc etc) on decent setting but with this game it seems like my PC is from 1990´s!?

[@Rafael96xD]

Like Cyberpunk when it launched, it will be patched from today onwards.

[@gankstrap]

Cyberpunk was a shitshow on release, much worse performance than Stalker 2. Also since when is CP2077 a "new" game? KEKW

[@Rikitangoable]

it mostly has to do with UE5 a combination of Lumen and Nanite not being full optimized yet

[@Terminated_Account]

If your pc is decent to good and it runs like shit then its always bad optimization

Thank you Stalker

[@FuryenLT]

Hey man! Just to confirm, I have 7800x3D with 32GB ram and rtx 2080 and I had mostly good performance but random drops to 14fps with no fixes. This method actually locks my FPS on 120 now and no drops anymore and its super playable, im so thankful!!!! Edit: Im on 1440p with medium settings, FSR on, DLSS balanced

[@loppi9455]

Hello everyone, I am writing from a translator, if there are errors in the text do not judge strictly, I downloaded this file to check the optimization on my part on my PC (R5 5600x, RTX 4060, RAM 32gb(3200mhz)) and indeed the fps increased by 10-20 points, from about 80 to 100 fps, the graphics are on medium-high settings with DLSS (balance), some optimization bugs disappeared and the sharpness of the sight improved. Before this file there was a bug when playing the game on high settings after about 30 minutes the fps drops to 5 (at this point the video card was 45 degrees, there is no throttling or breakdown of the video card itself) and it becomes impossible to play this, only a complete restart of the game helps, but with this file playing the game for more than 2 hours there were no fps drops at all. The sight became sharper as it should be, shooting bandits in the head became a pleasure. In conclusion, thanks to the author of the video for a short but very useful guide on how to fix problems in the game. God bless you and thanks again. ))

[@takashi701]

[@TutorialsAndCo]

I really have trouble aiming and I notice other gameplay stuff being really floaty or slippery? (dunno what to call it) with frame generation turned on. Anyone else having this?

[@Qloud7]

Yes, this is input latency and it is caused by the frame gen. It’s why I don’t use it personally, “DLSS frame gen” on the other hand works much better but is only for 40’ series cards

[@SternalJet]

Especially if you're using FSR. FSR will have probably the most latency. Recommend DLSS on balanced or performance.

[@novAviator01]

That just how frame gen works its inevitable what makes frame gen be so amazing is also what makes this side effect

[@somanyaccounts4205]

There is also mouse smoothing/mouse acceleration that is enabled by default that you need to turn off if you want better mouse response (as well as frame gen, both give a bit of delay and together the game is pretty heavy and hard to aim well with) Just google "stalker 2 mouse input delay" and one of the top reddit post will tell you what text to put in a config.ini file and it should make a decent difference :) Also thanks Qloud for a nice quick and useful video 👌

Out in the wilderness and with tweaked configs plus lowering settings you can manage bad but tolerable fps, in pretty much any other scenario there are always big enough issues that I'd call it unplayable. I'd say they should be ashamed but lets be real they did try to hide it initially and with the review timing. This is one of those things that I think could be improved (mostly through mods) but with past UE experience I think the game is always going to perform badly.
