It's time to admit it: Unreal Engine 5 has been kind of rubbish in most games so far, and I'm worried about bigger upcoming projects (www.vg247.com)

Hugely disappointed in Stalker 2...

But after that article I'll give it another shot sooner than I was going to. I never thought that horrible performance could have been shaders loading in the background.

If that's what was going on, then they really need to make that more obvious, or lock people in a sort of training area until it's done and then start the actual game.

A couple weeks and it'll probably be a lot better.

But initial thoughts before the article, I think the mistake was watching huge budget games designed from the ground up to be a showcase for the engine, and assuming that would be what any third party studio could crank out.

UE5 has amazing potential, but it still needs good code run on good hardware to get Selene's result.

5800x3d/6800xt/32gb all overclocked/undervolted playing on 1440p with dlsss and fsr Enabled. My settings are a combo of epic and high.

I didnt encounter gamebreaking bugs and hover around 130 fps with dips to 80 in heavy weather. No macros or micros.

The only complaints I have is the spawning system combined with weak enemy ai and my expectation that the factions would be fighting more with each other cause that is what I've seen and enjoyed in the modded stalker games before.

I really like the game how it is, looks amazing and the atmosphere is top notch.
