Our tech analysis uncovers a more troubling issue: severe texture problems. Players on both PC and Xbox may encounter disturbing visual glitches, including stroboscopic effects, flickering shadows, and sudden object pop-ins, all of which severely impact immersion.

Reddit Subject-Engine-2833 shared a short video demonstrating just how frustrating the flickering effect can be in STALKER 2. Despite numerous attempts to adjust settings, including graphics options and resolution changes, the problem remains unresolved for many people.

Further investigation into the issue has led to several threads on Steam where players suggest that Frame Generation, especially when used in Game Mode, could be the culprit behind the flickering. If you're experiencing flickering, it's worth trying to turn it off. We can only hope the development team will address this bug in future updates.

Been with gamepressure.androidapks.biz since 2019, mostly writing game guides but you can also find me geeking out about LEGO (huge collection, btw). Love RPGs and classic RTSs, also adore quirky indie games. Even with a ton of games, sometimes I just gotta fire up Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, KOTOR, or Baldur's Gate 2 (Shadows of Amn, the OG, not that Throne of Bhaal stuff). When I'm not gaming, I'm probably painting miniatures or iring my collection of retro consoles.
