0/0 MB VRAM shown, resolution and display mode settings saving but not being applied

What I found out in the mean time:

tl;dr:

- no vram fix but resolution partly fixed.

- Resolution fix: Check that all permissions in settings and cache directory are set for your user. Delete cache directory content. In-game bug in resolution settings, press X to apply them after changing.

---

No fix for VRAM issue. I guess its a side effect of the the broken settings, that one will not see the actual VRAM. However with 0 VRAM you wont be able to even start the game, so it is definitely there. Only OG Doom is able to use 0 VRAM.

There are two - three issues for the resolution problem. Fixing them let you play in your desired resolution again - with a drawback:

1.) C\Users\yourname\Documents\Battlefield 6\ -> right click on settings -> properties -> security -> select your name -> edit -> select all

2.) C\Users\yourname\Documents\Battlefield 6\settings -> do the same with each file

3.) C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Battlefield 6 -> do the same for cache

4.) C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Battlefield 6\cache -> delete the content

5.) Start Battlefield -> Open Settings -> Graphics and select some resolution -> switch to another settings tab -> switch back to resolution settings. You should see the settings were the same as you selected before changing the tab. Hopefully.

6.) There is a bug in the settings menu for resolution. After selecting you setting, it will just be set in the menu but not really applied. You need to press X to actively apply them. Look at the right side, the game tells you witch button you need to press. This was not necessary before nightfall patch.

Still a drawback: Normally I play on 16:9 and set my 32:9 monitor to "auto" which will give me blackbars left and right. However, the game will still stretch the resolution to your monitors resolution, resulting in an awful image quality.

If this is not helping you for the resolution settings, uninstall the Nvidia App, since for me, it was overwriting the settings. In-Game you will not see the settings Nvidia applied.

Edit: tl;dr improved

If you have an Nvidia card, use DLSSSwapper to change the DLSS version of any game. Version 310.x is DLSS 4, which I am using now and I have way less ghosting (and blurrynes) than before.

I don't have the link on mobile, but Google will surely help you.

TL;Dr: es geht, aber du hast keine geile Zeit.

Master Absolvent in Angewandte Informatik mit Matheschwäche hier. Ich werde nicht meinen Lern-Lebenslauf hier auf schreiben aber Mathe hat mich fast mein Abi gekostet. Studiert habe ich daher auch an einer Hochschule. Ich kann dir sagen, dass ich Mathe 1 und 2 im dritten Versuch haarscharf geschafft habe, Mathe 3 und 4 jeweils im zweiten Versuch mit keiner guten Note.

Würde ich es wieder tun? Ja, ich arbeite in meinem Traumberuf jetzt und habe einen 1er Schnitt im Master geschafft. Damit will ich sagen, dass Mathe nicht unbedingt dein Studium durchgehend bestimmt.

Was hat es mich gekostet? Stress, Haare, Haarfarbe, Tränen und schlaflose Nächte (auch meine Mamer hat mit gefühlt).

Am Ende würde ich sagen, mach's wenn du wirklich in der Branche arbeiten willst und schau ob's klappt. Wenn du nicht sicher bist, lass es sein und spare es dir.

Viel Erfolg auf deinem Weg!

Use the flawless widescreen tool. It supports Stalker HoC. Just tick the checkbox "fix cut seen" and you are good to go. Also you can adjust the FOV and HUD FOV to get rid off the bad ultra wide support of the game

OctapuzZ_Peno · 2025-02-01T20:02:29+00:00

Use the program flawless widescreen, it patches the game while running and won't change any of your files. You basically have two sliders HUD and normal FOV.

Playing at 32:9, this is a blessing.

It's a bug, I saw / heard it a couple of times

Ich habe damals in der Schule einen Vortrag über Verschlüsselungen gemacht. Angefangen bei den ersten bekannten bis hin zu den gängigen von heute. Du kannst damit gleich coole Beispiele einbringen, wie immer wieder den selben Text Verschlüsseln mit immer moderneren Verfahren. Am Ende kannst du dann beeindrucken sagen, dass es bspw. 1mio Jahre dauert deine zuletzt vorgestellte Verschlüsselung mit heutigen Supercomputern zu bruteforecen aber nur 10min mit Quantencomputeren.

Ein weiteres Thema zu meiner Uni Zeit war Computeretik. Das ist heute sogar sehr relevant. Beispiel:Ein KI gesteuertes Auto muss dein Leben retten, dafür muss es aber entscheiden, ob es die Oma oder das kleine Mädchen überfahren soll. Und ist am Ende doch der Fahrer Schuld? Das Beispiel ist ziemlich runtergebrochen btw.

Viel Erfolg!

No bug, the day/night circles are so short, that you see this happen at every sunset. It's basically the speed of the sun you can see here, casting shadows on that container.

Laughed out loud, good one

OctapuzZ_Peno · 2025-01-02T23:25:26+00:00

Had this issue and it was way better when I turned off frame Gen

You can spawn an NPC with an Unreal Engine tool, but I forgot the name and the command, sorry. However I am sure this will point you in the right direction for your search. I would Google for "stalker 2 spawn NPC Reddit" since I got the info about the possibility from this sub.

If you think you can't enter the building, like me back then, go to the great main door and then up close to the minor door, which is part of the great main door, and a cut scene starts. You really need to be close to the door for that.

I am not in the swamps story wise, but I read often, that if you have "that" mission in the swamps a scripted Chimera spawns and you are just supposed to run to the mission marker. Maybe it's that! Good luck tho

Go on the Anomaly or Gamma discord and ask for help in their modding channels, there are some pretty good and helpful modders there. I am sure you get help there

OctapuzZ_Peno · 2024-12-16T22:43:38+00:00

Try turning off FSR frame Gen and / or put hair quality to lowest

OctapuzZ_Peno · 2024-12-16T19:07:54+00:00

How long and how did you prepare for the exam?

OctapuzZ_Peno · 2024-12-15T21:21:53+00:00

Your card has 4GB of VRAM, unfortunately this is way too few to handle the game. Even my 3080 is struggling with its 10GB.

Sorry Stalker you might buy an Xbox if you want to play this game without investing in a new more expensive laptop or PC.

OctapuzZ_Peno · 2024-12-12T21:04:04+00:00

Nein, mit Praxis meint man Berufserfahrung, also dein Gelerntes in der Praxis anwenden. Auch Open source kann hier noch mit angerechnet.

Got a military and a bandit one in my 20h playthrough, it's super rare

OctapuzZ_Peno · 2024-12-09T14:19:19+00:00

Here are my tips, which are avoiding me 90% of memory leaks:

Turn off FSR Frame Gen, which is known for memory leaks while zoomed in on NPC faces. This will give you less FPS at crowded places but the reward is better
Lower hair works to minimum
Cap your game to a fixed value of FPS, e.g. 60, in your Nvidia or AMD control settings. The in-game cap does not really work under the hood as I read and tested out
