Performance in Stalker 2. Stutters and Crashes (Out of Video Memory Error) Plague Players
Have you been waiting for Stalker 2 for a long time? It is here, but you might encounter some issues like stutters and crashes.
Stalker 2, the continuation of the Stalker series, was released a few minutes ago and now we can enjoy the game. It seems that it is a piece of a good game, as you can read in our review. However, it is hidden behind a layer of technical issues (our tech review will tell you more). It means that not all of us can fully appreciate the Zone. Some people report that they encounter performance issues. Be prepared for crashes and stutters.

Performance issues in Stalker 2 on PC
The first players have managed to download and start Stalker 2. Prepare for the atmospheric world of the Zone and some technical issues. It seems that fans encounter crashes and stuttering. Are we surprised? No. It is a sad reality of our times that games at launch very often have various performance issues. It is nothing new. Let’s face it, AAA productions have such problems, so it is quite understandable that GSC Game World’s creation also have them.
So, what can you do with them? Of course, to mitigate the problem make sure that your drivers are updated. Moreover, remember to install the game on SSD. At the same time, lower your graphics, even if your PC is powerful and fulfills recommended requirements.
At the same time, disable all overlays, as they are often the source of the problems. It is also a good idea to close all unnecessary programs working in the background. Remember that they are also using your PC’s resources.

Console fans are in a worse situation, as they have less options to tweak and make their game work better. It seems that even on performance mode the game does not work as it should. At this point there is not much you can do but wait for the update.
Stalker 2 Out of Memory Error
If your PC crashes with Out of Memory Error, you are un(lucky), as it is a known problem. Probably, it is not connected with your graphics card but with processor. If you have 13th or 14th CPU from Intel, it is probably your culprit. The company acknowledged the issue and provided a solution. What is it? You have to update your BIOS.
