Improved Anti-Stutter and FPS Boost – Average of 10fps Gain
Improves FPS and input latency while not sacrificing too much graphical quality (about +10FPS on average).
Heavily based on: STALKER 2 Anti-Stutter Mod and Massive FPS Boost
I didn’t like how flat it made the lighting look due to disabling Ray Tracing, so I made some tweaks to make it a bit prettier without sacrificing the performance gain (see screenshots).
Also fixed an issue with buildings/terrain and sometimes the weapon you’re holding completely or partially disappearing when looking at certain angles.
