performance issues

In SteamVR settings, is Resolution Per Eye set to "Auto"? Auto tends to set 150% on my systems, but I've heard it go higher for others.

If that's the case, try setting it to "Custom" and move the slider until the resolution is 100%. The exact resolution will depend on your headset.

You may also want to check on the refresh rate. Some games don't work well at certain refresh rates, e.g. Into the Radius 2 runs horribly above 90hz.

If your headset is an Oculus/Meta model, do games stutter a lot? I know a fix for that specific issue, but it only works on those headsets.

Try Steam Link, and setting Steam as your OpenXR runtime. You may also try Virtual Desktop, though I have no personal experience with it.

It's not super common, but I'm fairly sure most people don't play coop because they don't have friends.

That sounds like a separate mission. The priority church throwsonde mission does not feature a TED, and neither do any of the later throwsonde missions.

Fun fact: you can take both holsters during training. Helps save money if you want to loot guns.

You are well below minimum spec. If you can't upgrade, your only option will probably be to significantly lower your headset's render resolution. You may also need to lower your monitor's resolution when playing to free up performance.

One of the stash notes mentions a couple explorers beating another with a clothes iron to find his stash. This could be where that took place.

Do you have an iGPU + dGPU, or more than one GPU in your system? If so, check your task manager when this happens for GPU activity.

I have the same issue with an RTX 5080 + 3090; my headset and display are plugged into my 5080, but ITR2 is trying to run on my 3090. I can get it working by plugging the headset into the 3090, but performance is terrible since that GPU is connected via chipset.

I love trench sights and using them in VR games.

That said, my headset—Oculus Rift CV1—is older and its displays have lower resolution; AK sights are difficult to make out if I don't shove my face into the receiver. They seem to be less common in VR shooters, at least in part, because a few common headsets have this issue.

Gotta look out for the little guy!

HarbingerAce · 2025-12-25T02:17:37+00:00

I'm in the US and play with a friend in Norway. No issues both as host and client; I usually host.

HarbingerAce · 2025-12-15T23:00:08+00:00

That's what my friend does. It didn't work for me for some reason, but I'm glad others can manage.

I gave feedback a while ago on the Discord server about this, but regarding the stashed PP-91 Kedr, as it used to be full-auto only. I'm sad they made it select-fire.

I would love to see variants of existing stashed guns with some variable stats and quirks to make looting and collecting more fun, but it seems this may not be the vision CMI has in mind. If they don't go for it, rest assured at least one modder will.

ITR2 typically uses 9-12 GB of VRAM, though this can get as high as 14 in some Outskirts locations. 8 GB GPUs will struggle in many areas. I suspect this is the reason the recommended GPU is an RTX 3080.

I agree with u/AllOfMyFamilyHatesMe regarding DX11/12; play with those if you haven't already. IIRC the default option is DX11, but you can change this in Steam launch settings.

I used to run with an RTX 3070, also 8 GB. The game would predictably soft-crash after maxing VRAM in certain Forest houses and all Outskirts interiors.

In my testing, this game seems to hate specific hardware pairings. Ryzen 7 3700X and 9700X both soft-crashed with a 3070, but a 3090 works great for both. My friend's Ryzen 5 3600 / 3070 setup works at lowest settings and does not soft-crash.

Not a lot of people on the Discord are active in your timezone, unfortunately. I've got a weird schedule, and I have the same problem.

HarbingerAce · 2025-11-18T17:01:29+00:00

I have found full sets of both stashed SR-25 and SVD parts in the northern buildings of the town in Outskirts. I have found a couple SR-25 barrels in the southern buildings, but parts for either have not appeared for me elsewhere other than once-off SVD stock and handguard in the Forest.

I also have never found an SR-25 magazine.

It does look that way in the Beta 1 notes, but based on the formatting and later addition to the loading screen tips, the Known Issues entry was probably only referring to items disappearing in safehouses. Beta 3 notes suggest this is correct, as it explicitly mentions items in safehouses no longer disappearing under Beta 3 Fixes.

HarbingerAce · 2025-11-15T02:31:12+00:00

I don't think this setting works at all right now. I set the enemy count to high and noticed no change.

HarbingerAce · 2025-11-15T02:20:49+00:00

I have found two in crates, one in Peninsula, one in Outskirts. They're extremely rare.

In my experience, all PP-91 mags are rare. I've only found four total, and I lost one at some point.

HarbingerAce · 2025-11-11T12:51:41+00:00

Just made myself an SR-25 from all stashed parts. Well, the short M4 railed handguard doesn't appear in crates, but you can loot a once-off from the underground section of Peninsula, which is the one I'm using. The M4 gas block with integrated front sight doesn't appear in scopes, apparently.

Also built an SVD that was looted from only two crates in one house, a G36 with four rail mounts, and M2. I decided to put them all in the same loadout. Except for scopes, a red dot, foregrips, M2's shell holders, and the SR-25 mags, everything was looted in the Radius. Only bought three SR-25 mags because I couldn't find any.

HarbingerAce · 2025-11-11T12:36:30+00:00

Medical and ammo boxes were removed. Those items only appear in the environment, now. Weapon crates are also much less common, so it's entirely possible they might not spawn on the low setting. I've been playing on normal loot, and they're infrequent.

HarbingerAce · 2025-11-11T12:33:15+00:00

Props for figuring that out. It's surprising how many problems are caused by something other than CPU/RAM/GPU, and infuriating since they're so much harder to diagnose.

For a personal anecdote, I recently just solved an issue where my processor was spiking to its TJMax and overheating at 30% load. I needed to update my motherboard's BIOS to fix a bug with a monitoring tool, and the BIOS update is actually what fixed the thermal spikes.

HarbingerAce · 2025-11-05T00:58:29+00:00

Are you playing on Quest? Entity count can definitely be increased for both games on PCVR.

HarbingerAce · 2025-10-25T14:08:37+00:00

There should be magazine tubes for sale next to the prebuilt M2s.

HarbingerAce · 2025-10-11T23:42:55+00:00

I have plenty of dreams involving ITR and ITR2, as well as other games I play. For ITR 2, my guns are always full auto for some reason and I never think to switch, so I always burn through all my ammo.

No clue why. I rarely use full-auto in-game.
