Yerts Engine

The Yerts Engine ini provides my personal art preference by tailoring new lighting systems (shadows, reflections, etc) and stable, consistent performance for S. T. A. L. K. E. R. 2

please see user submitted images

Please consider this as my personal ini. I strive to improve performance and graphical fidelity through research and iterative testing.

This should be most compatible on all machines and is intended for use with any game graphics preset.

Ideally we use Epic (global illumination).. There is a drastic change in the artistic direction.

It’s easiest to reach me in the stalker gamma discord channel for my mods.

• []6. 3. 1 HIGHLY experimental changes and optimizations. See description

  []

  6. 2 STABLE 

  more photoreal, new lighting system, optimizations for stability, should at minimum maintain same fps. Use Epic.

  []v5. 0. 2 old standard

  These variables can cause issues for some people (NAMELY AMD) and if you plan to mess with Shader Cache please disable PSO disk cache here. You only need to recompile shaders once.

  r.ngx.dlss.denoisermode=1

  r. Streamline. DLSSG. Enable=1

  D3D12. PSO. DiskCache=1

  D3D12. PSO. DriverOptimizedDiskCache=1

  Please treat this as a template where you may choose to add any CVAR you like such as LOD settings, HRTF, and other fan favorites. I have specifically tuned this preset to get a certain level of performance. YMMV.
