I played this game.
In beta.
At release.
And now after its DLC.
I like it.
Automation good

I heard about the performance issues but wanted to give the game a try.

I played about 2 hours, and had fun once I updated my graphics card drivers and win10. But once I was out of the intro cave area, I began to see random frame drops.

And then stuttering. At first it didn't affect my gameplay but it got worse as I struggled forward. The first miniboss after the first chance I got to level up I couldn't navigate around because the framerate drops and stuttering.

I lowered nearly all the graphics to off or low as possible and manage to pass the miniboss albeit with bouncy trees because of the weather effects.

I finally had to concede and submit a refund when I attempted the first real boss. I was getting motion sickness with the amount of dropped frames and stuttering.

In the room you first gain control of your character, I had at first just black screen when I faced certain directions and could not navigate the room (updating drivers fixed this)

Edit: After switching to borderless window mode, most issues disappeared and the game was playable. I still cannot recommend this game though

Edit 2: Patches have fixed most issues. Only one area causes consistent slow down (area of sewer, but not as bad as blighttown)

Meh

Is fun, do mods, many new friends. Be a god. Nothing enough S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
