All my real homies out there understand that THIS is why STALKER games matter. They just do FPS environmental immersion better than anyone.

Are we looking at the same game ? :O

Depends. Looks really nice in places, others not so much.

Hopefully this doesn't run like dogshit, but I'm in either way.

Posted this yesterday in another thread :

Had to do a comparison; only got Complete Mod installed, so no vanilla camparison, but still fun

A note on performance: the devs recently reaffirmed that these "old" system requirements are still true:

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

• MINIMUM:
  • OS: Windows 10, Windows 11
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 1600X / Intel Core i5-7600K
  • Memory: 8 GB RAM
  • Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
  • Storage: 150 GB available space
  • Additional Notes: SSD
• RECOMMENDED:
  • OS: Windows 10, Windows 11
  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X / Intel Core i7-9700K
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB / NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER 8GB / NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB
  • Storage: 150 GB available space
  • Additional Notes: SSD

For reference, the most popular GPU on Steam, the RTX 3060, is equivalent to the Recommended specs. That probably means 1080p 60fps - upscaling unknown on that. That's also pretty much in line with other UE5 titles on high settings, with upscaling in those cases (so probably upscaling here too).

Looks like the team are utilizing Lumen to the fullest. Not sure about Nanite, or even which version of UE5 this is. Recent versions have much better performance overall, and can use Nanite virtualized geometry on vegetation and characters too, iirc. Hopefully they have all of that in play for this game.
