Stalker 2

The first patch supposedly is out later today...
Hopefully it’ll fix npcs standing in front of doors that you have to go through to continue the mission (there’s a few).
I had to teleport away or reload a save to get them to move, and shooting them in the face isn’t an option.
 
NPCs being around seems by far the biggest framerate tank in the game - can be running around in the open at 60fps+, go to the Lag Heap and watch a cutscene with 5 NPCs in close proximity and its a slideshow. I don't even even know how you make something tank so badly, maybe they are running the entire AI loop on a single core or something.

I saw a post, it was linked in this thread I think, that said to turn the hair detail down to minimum. I did that and it does *seem* to have helped with crowded areas. I haven’t measured anything or even paid much attention, but it’s worth a try.

Let’s be honest, these are some properly awful haircuts we are talking about, so worth doing anyway.

Skipped about 17 pages of posts! Only got to do a few missions so far and not found any bugs yet. Getting around 100 FPS and I think it looks lovely. Not very far into it but died a lot! Wukong does look a lot better but is a different game. Switching between the two at the mo. I die a lot in that too. I'm not very good at games these days but I still enjoy them, which is the important bit.
 
Wow people make youtube videos about patch notes you can read in 30seconds?

This week according to the devs

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl is getting a first patch during the week to come — both on PC and Xbox.

The following update will include:

Crash Fixes, including:
  • Issues and memory allocation failures, which previously caused the game to exit unexpectedly, particularly around rendering, skeletal meshes, and quest-related cutscenes.
Main Quest Progression Fixes, including:
  • Several bugs blocking the main quest progression, NPCs getting stuck in objects, incorrect quest markers, and issues with quest cutscenes.
  • Revision of the main quests (like Visions of Truth or A Minor Incident) to ensure smooth transitions, avoiding rare cases of players not being able to proceed further.
Gameplay & Balance Adjustments, including:
  • Fixing the price of the weapons with upgrades installed compared to their value without attachments.
  • NPCs behavior, including the way they act when lacking a shelter during the Emissions.
Cutscenes & Visual Fixes, including:
  • Rarely missing facial animations, misplaced NPCs, and visual inconsistencies like detached heads and clothes clipping.
  • Quality and stability improvements of the visual effects.
Softlock Fixes, including:
  • Issue where players were unable to close the trade screen after putting ammo in a wrong slot while playing on a gamepad.
User Interface Improvements, including:
  • Quest notifications now showed correctly during dialogues.
  • Corrected texts and missing interaction prompts.
Noted to be addressed in future updates:
  • Analogue sticks dead zones bugfixes.
  • A-Life system bugfixes.
