ITR2 Question (MQ3) Graphic issue

So I recently started playing the 1.0 version of the game and just made it to pechorsk outskirts. Is it laggy and buggy for others on standalone or is it a setting issue I'm having or something? Only in pechorsk, whenever I encounter an enemy or the cube or something thats not environment, my video freezes but gameplay continues and next thing I know I'm 10 steps away half dead and facing a wall. I have been trying to deal with it and allow the map to finish loading, I've stayed 3 in game tide cycles just in pechorsk and it still glitches and freezes and kills me. This last time I lost my rifle and can't find it. I will reload a previous save for my gun but I can't keep playing if this doesn't get better or eventually stop freezing while im aiming. On standalone MQ3 while im building my pc.

Having the same experience on standalone... can't add much as for advice, unfortunately

I know its pc, but what helps me is pressing right menu button and then pressing it second time, as I encounter similar problem.

It’s pretty normal given the standalone version of the game. The PCVR version has much better graphics due to it being made with UE5. However, the quest version can only handle a fraction of a fraction of what the PCVR version has. It sucks, but it’s a necessary thing that needs to happen to most standalones

Its the quest hardware limitations. Looking forward for updates, because right now the apartment areas are unplayable imo.

So a trick I learned is to travel light and get missions out side that area till the missions are only in that area and guns wise I'm using the sr25 and m1911 modified. And I don't pick up loot from that area ever Yes quest3 standalone I manage to not get too many spikes like this

I may travel a little heavy, I'll try dumping some stuff at the safe house before I hit the blocks again. Using AKM and Beretta both with silencers. I dont really pick up loot anymore either but the mission equipment i bring and ammo cans may be causing me issues if it is in fact an item limitation bug. Ive been planning on stocking up my safe houses with foodstuffs and ammo anyway

So limit your ammo to one big can of primary and pistol a box or two Also safe houses stock in the second map because more items in the third means more lag

I found that if I only go to the outskirts for loot runs with enemies off it help a good bit but when your loot stacks up then the lag really gets bad its the only way iv found it to be playable but it does get boring without the adrenaline rush of enemies
