How to stop the RTX 2060 Super from crashing in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2?
Every time I stepped into a dense vegetation area, the game would just vanish and dump me back to the desktop without any warning—it was honestly making me anxious. The core of my Zotac RTX 2060 Super Supreme PLUS was struggling with the new engine, with voltage jittering between 0.9 - 1.1V, which triggered VRAM parity errors. I tried updating to the absolute latest drivers first, but that actually made the crashes happen more often; the whole trial-and-error process was a total nightmare. I eventually used a tool to roll back to version 537.58, set power management to 'Maximum Performance' in the control panel, and capped my frame rate at 60 FPS. Running MemTest86, the VRAM errors dropped from 5 per hour to zero, and I finally hit 6 hours of playtime without a single crash. I did notice some input lag after capping the frames, but disabling Windows Fullscreen Optimizations brought back that snappy feel. Core temps are now sitting at 68 - 75℃ with fans at 1700 RPM. The stress tests confirm driver compatibility is back, and the mouse response feels tight again.
