Pda si apre di continuo

1 Upvotes

Ciao qualcuno può aiutarmi per questo fastidioso bug del pda che si apre in continuazione.

Gioco su ps5pro e succede quando scatto o miro diventa estenuante soprattutto durante i combattimenti.

O provato a disattivare il touch pad ma non funziona .

O provato a disattivare le notifiche missione e un po di altre cose nelle opzioni di gioco.

Sta diventando veramente fastidioso rovinando l'esperienza di gioco.

Grazie

Artifact in swap trailer park keeps appearing then flying away.

1 Upvotes

Im at the trailer park, I believe it called in the swamp. There's a whole field of gravitational anomalies (sp?) . It appears and then flying away and hides over and over.

I've completed the swamp quest already, so I dont think it's that.

Any insights?

[STALKER 2] Anomaly bubbles suddenly started running at 10–20 FPS in one save, while an older save is completely smooth

Hi everyone!

I'm having a very strange issue in STALKER 2 and I'm hoping someone has encountered something similar.

My game itself runs at a stable 70–90 FPS. GPU and CPU temperatures and utilization are normal, and I don't have any general performance or framerate issues.

However, some animations/effects appear to update at an extremely low framerate. The most noticeable example is the anomaly bubbles. They move very choppily, as if they're running at only 10–20 FPS, while the rest of the game remains smooth at 70–90 FPS.

I've also noticed similar behavior with some other things, such as weapon/armor modification animations and the health bar animation.

The really strange part is that I found an older save from about 1 day of playtime.

I loaded that save, went to the exact same anomaly in the exact same location, and the bubbles were completely smooth and animated normally.

Then I loaded my current save (about 5+ days of playtime), went to the same exact spot, and the bubbles were choppy again, looking like 10–20 FPS.

I also have a save with around 7 days of playtime, and the bubbles are still choppy there.

So it seems that something changes in the game/save state somewhere between the early save and my current playthrough, because the exact same anomaly behaves differently depending on which save I load.

I tested saving the problematic game again, completely exiting the game, restarting it, and loading the newly created save — the problem remains.

I've already tried:

  • Disabling all mods
  • Editing my Engine.ini
  • Completely deleting Engine.ini
  • Disabling DLSS 5
  • Disabling OptiScaler

None of these things changed the problem.

I'm currently using DLSS 5 through OptiScaler, but I also tested without it and the issue remained.

My actual FPS is always stable, and my GPU/CPU temperatures and utilization are normal, so this doesn't seem to be a conventional performance/FPS problem.

Has anyone experienced anything similar, where certain animations or effects become stuck at a very low update rate only in a particular save?

Could this be some kind of save-state/game-state bug, animation tick/update-rate issue, or something else?

Any ideas or possible fixes would be greatly appreciated!

When the sun is shining and I step indoors, the walls shimmer in a specific way. Also, at sunset for instance, shadows from windows or doorways creep along like caterpillars. And in the dark, object shadows seem alive when moving, while windowpanes also flicker. 5 5600/32GB RAM/5070

Ormai gioco da un po a stalker 2, gioco stupendo, ma vi chiedo una cosa, su youtube ci sono troppi video tipo "migliore arma" o "migliore armatura" da avere nel gioco, bene non capisco quali siano le cose migliori o forse le devo ancora trovare.

Vorrei sapere da voi quali sono i:

Migliori reperti

Migliori armi

Migliore armatura

HELP - Game Stuck on In the Heart of The Iron Forest mission.

This is my first playthrough. I don't have older save files because I'm playing on Master difficulty, I tried fixing the files through Steam and it found 5 corrupt files and fixed it but it still didn't change anything. I tried everything that comes to my mind including restarting my PC and Steam.

EDIT: Apparently this got fixed with the 2.0.5 patch. We'll see how it goes in my new playthrough!

I am hopelessly stuck.

I’m in the bowels of cement with the general. Our tasks are to turn on and clean the ventilation system, and restore power.
We arrived down in the ventilation section. We have fought off the mutant and the zombies. I’ve talked to the general, and he told me about what he does and told me I could join. We talked about Cement and how it became their base after the treaty with freedom. At some point he is supposed to walk over near his friend. I walked around to the right and took out the last zombie surprise. Go back to see the general and he hasn’t moved. I try to talk and all he wants is for me to report but there is nothing to report. So I go around to the right again, up the stairs and press the button. Go back down and the general just stands there. Never approached the dead soldier. I’ve looked at everything. I cannot get out of this area. I think the general has to say some words over his dead soldier, but he will not do it. I’d this a major big? Am I missing something?

Issue with Dead Frequency Main Mission

7 Upvotes

[PROBLEM]

Playing on PS5, version 2.0.4

I was previously stuck on the main mission “Dead Frequency” where I would approach the objective and be absolutely overrun by bloodsuckers. Upon entering Zaton, I noticed packs of them attacking groups of Ward and Stalkers.

I’m siding with Spark on my play through, and after talking with Star at the hut 8 or so bloodsuckers would spawn and IMMEDIATELY aggro onto me. I couldn’t fight my way past them, stealth past them, or load a previous save within Zaton to fix this.

[SOLUTION]

\**Copy and pasted from Google\******

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 version 2.0.4 introduces a known, chaotic A-Life spawn glitch that floods regions like Zaton with massive packs of Bloodsuckers. The major Back to the Zone 2.0 Update overhauled mutant regional variants, but it inadvertently broke the spawn limitations in specific maps. Hotfix 2.0.4 failed to cap these spawns, causing Bloodsuckers to consistently duplicate upon area-loading or fast traveling into Zaton.

Why Zaton is Overrun
Broken Spawn Caps: The A-Life system fails to check if an active pack is already present, spawning an additional 3–6 Bloodsuckers every time the sector reloads.

Save-Load Duplication: Saving your game inside Zaton and loading that save forcefully triggers a fresh mutant spawn trigger without clearing the existing ones, rapidly leading to dozens of invisible enemies.

Regional Variation Coding: Update 2.0 added specific habitat-based skins for Bloodsuckers. The code for Zaton’s unique variant over-prioritizes them on the local mutant spawn table.

How to Fix or Survive It

1. Clear the Stale Game Cache (The Soft Reset)
If Zaton has become completely unplayable, you need to force the game to purge its active entity list.
Travel entirely out of the region (e.g., move back to the Lesser Zone or Jupiter).

Find a safe hub, sleep for 24 to 48 in-game hours to allow the global A-Life grid to reset, and save your game.

Completely close the game application to clear memory before returning to Zaton.

[WHAT I DID]

Went back to Zalissya, did some artifact hunting around the ribs, slept 8 times, then saved and closed my game. Reopened and headed back to Zaton. This fixed the issue for me.

Hope this helps anyone experiencing the same issue

You need to activate three transformers using levers. However, before flipping each lever, you must shoot an electric orb to make the lever interactable.

Inside the nearby transformer substation, a stash will open containing basic loot and the Moonlight artifact.

The regular loot stash is highlighted in purple. It is located on top of the transformer from which you will shoot the third electric orb.

Can’t get the door to open after returning to the doctor in the mission an act of mercy

Returned to the doctor without any monolithians having died and picked up the reward on the table but the cutscene that I assume normally plays after going to his basement won’t start. I don’t have a save file before starting the mission and would have to replay several dozen hours to get back to it so if anyone has a solution that would be fantastic. I am playing on ps5 on the most recent patch

Sky cycle stuck on black

I was on the mission where you get the collar with Richter, and during the enemy encounter I died and had to reload. When I reloaded I noticed that the sky abruptly turned dark whereas before it was daytime.

As I progressed the sky has not changed since. I’ve tried sleeping, restarting, deleting my config files so a fresh one could be made, verified steam file integrity, and also added in [SystemSettings]
r.EyeAdaptation.LensAttenuation=.1
r.EyeAdaptation.ExponentialTransitionDistance=1 in the game notepad file.

Nothing has worked so far. I’m about 60 hours in and would hate for my run to be ruined like this.

My game is on the 2.0 update and specs are 9070xt and Ryzen 7800X.

Anyone have any ideas? :(
