How Does S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Run on Minimum Specs?

[@Gameplayicu]

It's 1080p with FSR Ultra Performance, so the actual resolution is 634x356. Low graphics settings, it's crazy... RX 580 feels like a low-end GPU in 2024 😑

[@zilverman7820]

It really is a low end gpy now bro. Games are getting unoptimized and demanding

[@DRMFree_Offline_Games_DONT_Die]

I hate it when more and more devs develop games with Unreal Engine 5. I hate Unreal Engine 5 fr! First Online DRM called Denuvo and Live Service Online-Only model tied to an Always-Online DRM server which can be shut down any time whenever the publisher wants, and now this Performance Killer, High-End Unreal Engine 5 thing!!! Modern gaming sux ;'(

[@Gameplayicu]

Indeed

[@SlimN0ir-uf7hw]

there´s no denuvo in this game dude but i agree with you

[@DRMFree_Offline_Games_DONT_Die]

@@SlimN0ir-uf7hw No bro, I didn't mean to say this game had Denuvo. Please read again. I love Stalker dev for being pro consumer by not injecting all of their games with Online DRM like Denuvo or Live Service Online-Only model with Always-On DRM implemented that could be shut down any time by the publisher. I've played older Stalker games (DRM-Free ones from GOG) and love them all. And, I believe Stalker 2 is going to be great. What I don't like is when most devs today develop their games in Unreal Engine 5. Why? Because not many of us folks are lucky to own Mid to High-End rigs. I just don't understand why UE5 is being most used while UE4 is technically still pretty (Days Gone made in UE4, Batman Arkham Knight made in UE3). Not to mention, UE4 is ofc way waaay better optimised than UE5. The more demanding the games become, the less people will likely buy/play them (no wonder why fewer people play their games, their games made with UE5!). Oh btw, upcoming big open world games such as State of Decay 3 and Mafia The Old Country are still in development with UE5. Can you imagine how they'll perform on Mid to Low-End rigs? RIP. When all games become extremely demanding, I'll stop gaming or just casually play older games. If all game devs develop their games playable for everyone while still being pro consumer, then that's true paradise for us. Cheers.

@@DRMFree_Offline_Games_DONT_Die UE5 is a tool. it totally depends on the developer who are working with it. you dont blame the tool for its users mistake. i think devs need to give ue5 more time to get to know the engine better.

Metro exodus looks way better than this and runs 10x better aswell. You are a brave man for even trying to run this, its a fun game but UE5 ruins it for me 🙏

[@gamersworld4176]

i am interested to see this game running in a intel arc gpu. do you have one?

[@matking898SVK]

its already on fitgirl :D

[@gamersworld4176]

yeah cause its in gog, no drm.

[@t1m0fey_p3dan3]

WIth no future patches. Haha

[@gamersworld4176]

@@t1m0fey_p3dan3 nah. since its the gog version they can update the repack easily

[@pachete.]

hey, what driver version are you using?

[@Nightek1]

Bad optimization...

[@labileslama9848]

What CPU were you using?

[@Gameplayicu]

Can't you see? 😮

[@SlimN0ir-uf7hw]

pls test this game with the 4gb version of this gpu´s with the fixes that are in nexus mods

[@yolurozo9761]

Does it work on 8 gb ram?

[@gamersworld4176]

no. it chews through ram like breakfast.

[@depakenepriadel9788]

Looks cool

[@Gameplayicu]

What? This is far from cool... 356p gaming, full of lag spikes... and on an HDD it's completely unplayable, don't even try it. On an SSD, compiling shaders took 30 minutes and it crashed twice 😅
