INSTALLATION
1) Download one of the Main files you need
2) Extract it to your S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 Heart of Chornobyl\Stalker2\Content\Paks\~mods (create ~mods folder if you don't have it)
Highly recommended: a) When using Vsync: set Vsync to Off in game -> enable Vsync in NVIDIA Control Panel (or AMD Control Panel) instead b) When not using Vsync: set FPS to Unlimited in game -> limit fps in RivaTuner (or NVIDIA Control Panel or AMD Control Panel) instead c) Make sure the game (Stalker2-Win64-Shipping.exe) runs in DirectX 12 mode by adding -dx12 parameter in created Shortcut Target (or Steam Launch Options) [if you're on a modern hardware, the game will most likely run in DX12 mode by default]
To Uninstall, delete the .pak file from ~mods folder.
COMPATIBILITY
You should not use other .paks nor Engini.ini files for performance improvements etc. Just to avoid any overrides and side effects. You're fine to use other type of mods.
