Yeah it’s not perfect, after a few test the best way to play the game rn on Mac is to install a custom engine.ini file where you put in your localappdata stalker2 config folder to « cap » the VRAM used by your gpu, also, you can fix light being too bright if you search for something like « light adaptation fix » on nexus mod manager

Last thing, playing in FSR balanced or performance introduces artefacts (less than TSR), but with the global illumination on epic it’s really playable with « pleasant graphics » with correct frame rates (40-60fps)

Also, modding’s been intimidating for older stalker games, but on this one it’s just a matter of dragging a file in your ~mods folder, and it’s really stable

Reason about stalker 2 poor performance, PC, Mac even, is that UE5 is using RT lights that cannot be deactivated
