What are people using the AA? I'm using FSR native, so that means no scaling, and just AMD AA?

Do you have anything overclocked? For some reason Stalker 2 is pretty sensitive to it.

Message boards are filled with complaints because it used to crash a lot. The majority are fixed now though. There are still some memory leaks, I discovered one the other day which is fully repeatable and causes the game to crash. But they're few and far between now so if you're getting loads it'll be down to your system more than anything else.

Do you guys think the performance will be fixed after a few patches or is it because the AI requires a powerful CPU?

It feels smooth to me using an RTX 5070ti in most parts but in towns with lots of NPC's it feels weird, not micostutters, just odd, hard to explain.

I looked on reddit, and they were blaming the AI running on the CPU but I've literally no idea about why it feels sluggish in certain areas.

Go into a NPC busy area. Drop everything to minimum and restart as some settings will require it to apply. Also disable FG.

Start going up in settings until you reach/drop to 60fps or whatever you feel comfortable with. I thin hair quality, shadow, vegetation draw distance and perhaps a few others have a heavier push on the CPU.

I'm currently playing Metro Exodus and I'm really enjoying it, is Stalker 2 similar?

Metro Exodus is more story heavy, compact, guns feel better.
Stalker 2 is larger, more like a Skyrim of sorts. The story is a bit meh compared to Metro, overall it feels to me like it was pushed 2-3 years too early, so rather an early access feel.

Cheers mate, I'll give that shot and see if things improve. :)

Agree other than Metro being more linear. Stalker story is hard to follow, i find i go to the Wiki sometimes just to recap.
 
Agree with last couple of posts. Disappointing as I enjoyed Stalker 1 so much and played a lot of mods for it too. I still haven't purchased Stalker 2, just from what I've seen I thought I'd be disappointed. Hoping it improves over the years but not sure if that's wishful thinking.

Hopefully the modding community can salvage something from this wreck further down the line I will buy it then.

It's an excellent game... It just could be better.
It's still better than most of the drivel that gets released nowadays, and hoping it improves when you don't know what it needs to improve from, is going to be an endless wait
