This mod comes in 3 versions:

Maximum performance tuning (without Lumen) — for maximum performance;
Enhanced version with Lumen (low quality) — for richer visuals;
For low-end PCs up to 4GB VRAM (without Lumen) — for PCs with low specifications.

This mod squeezes every ounce of performance and beauty from your device:

Eliminate stutters: optimized streaming and CPU/GPU load distribution for smooth Zone operation;
Boost FPS: DLSS with frame generation allows reaching 80-120 FPS (or more on powerful systems);
Crystal-clear image: sharpness, high-quality textures, and effects—no film grain or chromatic aberration to blur the view;
Low input latency: reduced frame delays for quick control in chaos filled with mutants;
Flexible visuals: core version skips Lumen for speed; enhanced version adds it for atmosphere.

No glitches, no crashes, just pure post-apocalyptic perfection.

What's inside?

Maximum performance tuning (without Lumen): Lumen is disabled for high speed, ideal for mid-range systems. Nanite, Niagara, and Virtual Shadows keep the Zone at the level of new technologies;
Enhanced version with Lumen (low quality): adds optimized Lumen (low quality) for realistic lighting with minimal performance hit. Perfect if you crave extra gloom;
For low-end PCs up to 4GB VRAM (without Lumen): a stripped-down setting for budget systems—stable FPS and decent visuals on weaker GPUs.

How to install:

Download your preferred Engine.ini file;
Replace the existing file at the path: Steam and GOG: localappdata\Stalker2\Saved\Config\Windows or Game Pass: localappdata\Stalker2\Saved\Config\WinGDK;
Right-click on Engine.ini/Properties and check "Read-Only" → Apply/OK.

Tuning Tips:

Core Version: Lumen is off, but adjust r.DLSS.Quality (0=Performance, 1=Balanced, 2=Quality) depending on your GPU;
Enhanced Version: Lumen is on low—bump it to 2 or enable r.Lumen.HardwareRayTracing if you have extra power;
Low-Spec (4GB VRAM): Built for survival—keeps things light but remains playable.
