Stalker 2

Got the Gamepass version and runs a bit crap for me with a 7950x3d and 4090. I can play on epic with dlss and framegen and my fps most of the time is capped at 115 on a 120hz display. But its like every few seconds you just get stutters and frame spikes which really ruins it. Turned most settings down to high and slightly less stutters but still there.

I'm really enjoying the game but yea the spawn issues are weird. Was in an area where it literally spawned 4 of the cloaked bloodsuckers around me, kept dying but because I'm stupid I kept trying to kill them. Anyway, 12 deaths later i finally gave up and just did a 180 and ran as fast as i could.
I can concur

I played a bit more this morning (annoyingly have to go to work again now) and I must have died 20 times in about an hour. I cannot for the life of me work out how to get the artifacts.

The game is still running great for me, surprised to see others having stutters but just glad I'm not one of them.
 
Lol, reminds me of playing tarkov only in tarkov you'd be instantly dead as soon as they spawn.
The AI can headshot you from a mile away with a shotgun if you try to be stealthy, if you go charging in it can take about 20 hits before you die.

The games AI is broken.

also you stand on a fence or going somewhere the AI can't path too then the dogs, pigs etc run and hide behind an object, or go in weird circles..

It's's hard to hit them to because the movement of them is so erratic and weird.

i'm tempted to drop the difficulty down since everything is just bullet sponges and only headshots are satisfying


I said I'd wait but had a bash last night. Horrid input latency, like playing a streaming game on mobile data
yea it's like playing with a 90ms ping and all the mobs are lagging and hit reg is letting you down..

when you fight a blood sucker sit on a fence and see how hard it is to actually hit them at close range.


Also I can never tell whos friendly, I run towards some stalkers group my gun away, I get right next to them then after about 10 seconds they realise I'm there and start shooting as I'm trying to find the button to talk.
It's like your more stealthy when your not trying to be, if I crouched in the shadows 700miles away they would probably see me and kill me in 3-5 hits

Skill issue
 
Wire mesh fences are my new biggest enemy, apparently I couldn't shoot through them but the enemy could :cry:

Half tempted to ease up a bit and see if an update does come around soon for the ambient life as that's my only big gripe so far that seems to consistently pull me out of the experience.
 
Had a problem with AI last night was in a factory and I got spotted thru a wall turned around to go out another exit and there was 8 bandits all in a row wearing same gear same guns and all said the same voice line at the same time I insta died but was pretty funny

probably due to software raytracing being crap, on the UE5 notes it says walls have to be a certain thickness or light will pass through them etc
 
The detection mechanic and overall distance needs a bit of work, stealth is pretty much impossible at the minute
