S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Patch 1.0.2 is here! - Steam News

New patch that will make the Zone even better place.

store.steampowered.com

A few more fixes.

Plays well on my 3090 and game pass.

My guess is vram.

What res/settings are you playing at?

What res/settings are you playing at?

4k dlss balanced + Frame gen ON. Epic settings. Also using mod to improve LOD and get rid of trees/grass popping in which shaves off about 10-15fps.

Pretty much maxing out VRAM on my 480, and 20GB of system RAM usage. It is playable at medium 1440p, just, if I use frame generation, but there is mouse lag. Do need a new GPU.

Was hoping to play for an hour whilst the little one is napping but I guess not since the patch seems to want to redownload the game.

Sweet, thank you. I'm on a 5800X3D/3090, and you don't have much latency issue with frame gen on?

Edit - sounds like Nukem's dlssg-to-fsr3 mod is a good solution to any possible input latency issues.

oh this is awesome! I just spent a tense hour in the zone, its the music the worrying about running straight into an anomoly or a bunch of dogs.. sneaky sneaky, high radiation, hungry....

I'm amazed the devs were even able to make this game, considering what is going on there.

I had latency until I added 2 lines in input.ini then all fixed:

[/script/engine.inputsettings]
bEnableMouseSmoothing=False
bViewAccelerationEnabled=False

Just crashed again on new patch

Tried that. Made no difference.

I'll put this game on gold till I get a new GPU

Not a good start to the update..

I had only one crash after 16+ hours, but got this after less than a minute

These UE5 crashes I've seen in almost all UE5 games I've played. Usually only on exit of the game however.

 

[something daft already!!]

Just had my first crash after the patch.

Downloading the 1.0.2 patch, hopefully it fixes whatever they broke in 1.0.1

It should do, was night and day for me. Are you sure you updated the right file? Steam version is in a different folder to gamepass version.

 

[ne0]

Anyone else finding the game too easy after a while? I have so much food, med kits and bullets saved up that I'm starting to consider selling half of it.

I've upped the difficulty to veteran and just slaughtered a whole swarm of different mutants with relative ease.

Quite surprised at how relatively easy it is considering Stalker game's reputations.

The 2nd patch seems to have worked, not had a crash in over an hour.

I did the input.ini entry but didn't read protect the file. Tried it again, read protect it's still slow- probably due to terribly low fps, I'll leave until get new GPU no point not enjoying a new game on such low fps

Couldn't agree more. I've got so many stashes all over the place with that sort of stuff in.
