Was getting chased by a bunch of the bush/flower things, with no ammo and nothing to heal with. This dude named SleiKs_ just came out of nowhere and instead of killing me helped me out and took me to the extraction point! Also gave me a helmet. This was so unexpected and lovely!

Thanks, mate!

People in this comminity here have been sharing information and also helped me with some errors I had, so making a final post here about this!! I am so happy that it's running this well and looking like this, so thank you!

Another video : https://vimeo.com/1203624980?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci

It's running on a RTX 4060 - 8gb //32Gb Ram // i7-9700.

Mods used:
Updated to Atmospherics 2.69 RC6.7 - Persistent Puddles addon / Saturation 1.0
Kumo's LUT Assortment : Stalker 2 Preset
IXRTR Textures
Glossy Puddles
C-Conciousness Grass & Trees - Summer Preset // overgrowth

+ increased the Grass shadow quality in SSS settings and some minor tweaks to bump up the reflections and shadows. The Saturation in the in-game settings is 1.1

Its running the Neutral preset of Atmospherics (cfg_load atmos_neutral)

I cannot understand why, and I dont know how to fix this. I posted on the Gamma discord channel as well. Anyone here who has faced a similar issue?

UPDATE : It's the mod that makes cars float around in Truck Cemetery/Garbage

I was curious how the A life plus mod works in Gamma 0.95, if anyone has been trying it out

where did they come from! where did they go?

Okay, so I have been dropping a lot of posts with questions and have been messing around with stuff a bit. And I believe I found the sweetspot for my rig. I run Stalker 2 at 1080p [Everything on Epic - apart from Global Illumination on High and Environment distance at Near] on a 4060 (8gb), i7-9700 and 32GB of ram. I am using DLSS in Quality mode (Preset M) and Framegen (selected Recomended preset on Nvdia app). Getting around 90-100fps (sometimes dipping to mid 80s), 1% lows at 60-75 (sometimes dipping to 50-55). Although, the performance dips by like 20-25% at Zalissya.
Adding a link to a video clip here although the quality isn't great. I readjusted the Contrast, Brightness, Saturation and Gamma for this visual vibe which felt right to me. Has that desolate feeling. For now I am happy, although I need to do something about the flashlight. The pop-in, Tree LOD and grass flicker situation is so much better and this feels good to play. If someone can recomend a flashlight mod that won't affect the performance, would be great!

Display Settings is as follows

For the Engine.ini file I added the following

[SystemSettings]

r.MotionBlurQuality=5
r.MotionBlur.Amount=1
r.MotionBlur.TargetFPS=60

r.Lumen.Reflections.Temporal=0
r.Lumen.Reflections.DownsampleFactor=0

r.LumenScene.Radiosity.HemisphereProbeResolution=16
r.Lumen.ScreenProbeGather.TracingOctahedronResolution=16

foliage.LODDistanceScale=1.7

Foliage.DitheredLOD=1

fg.CullDistanceScale.Trees=2

r.Tonemapper.Quality=1

r.Shadow.Virtual.SMRT.RayCountDirectional=5

r.Shadow.Virtual.SMRT.SamplesPerRayDirectional=0

I don't know if I made some of these commands useless by tinkering around. Found them across reddit. Removed the stuff that took away too much of performance.

I know this is probably a bit random, but for someone with my kind of specs, it might help. I honestly enjoy the game, and yeah its poorly optimised. Buit the whole vibe of the world really draws me in and so I have tried to make it feel good for me.

Hope this helps!

Does the Deadzone mod negatively affect the performance in a significant way? I really wanted to try that out so I'm just curious

UPDATE : SOLD

The 3ds is cobalt blue in color and in good condition. The SD card is barely a month old.

The 3ds runs fine and has two minor cosmetic issues.

1. A small point of damage/scratch in the body. And can be seen in the images.

2. The circle pad has become a bit worn off/thinned out.

The rest is all good, the battery was recently changed and runs great.

Selling at 12k with the SD card which itself costs close to 2k.

DM if interested.

Update : SOLD

Kindle Paperwhite 11th gen. Barely used. Amazing condition with a cover. Available at 9k.

Location : Kolkata. DM if interested.

I want one in good condition, the screens should not be yellow. And I am avoiding the blue one. If you have one, and it's fairly priced, DM.

my friend and I found this raided base, so we went to investigate - right after looting 3-4 military spots. There was this lower door inside a room (it seemed like that at the moment) and I didnt think it through and hit F. The doors locked up, and i got stuck inside that room - and to make it worse there were two doors, one blocking the stairway, so my friend couldn't come upstairs. Tried escaping using my bag and stuff, didnt help. So at one point accepted my fate, threw my gear out and just let it go. Luckily the server has its wipe day coming in like a day, so its cool. Funny story that I get to share now!

PS : That's my friend talking about the time he accidentally dropped an unpinned grenade in front of him instead of throwing it and killed himself far up north after looting up and getting heavily geared up (we were new back then so it meant a lot)

Had recently posted about my girlfriend gifting me the white 3DS. And now she has one too! She loves the blue color. Although she's more into her DS lite and playing Wordle on it. She's getting around to trying out the crazy library of the 3ds
