Stray is a 2022 third-person adventure-game. The player controls a stray cat who falls into a world populated by robots and ventures to return to its family. Players must solve puzzles to progress the narrative, including moving obstacles and traversing platforms. The player is accompanied by a drone-companion named B12, who can assist by translating the language of the robots and storing items found throughout the world.

Issues fixed

Cannot play in fullscreen if the resolution is different than native

Force fullscreen from .ini file^[5]

This makes it possible using AMD FSR integrated in Wine/Proton, for example.

Open %LOCALAPPDATA%\Hk_project\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini in a text editor.
Change the following lines like this:

FullscreenMode=0
LastConfirmedFullscreenMode=0
PreferredFullscreenMode=0

Save GameUserSettings.ini as read-only just to be sure.^{[dubious – discuss]}

Alleviate shader compilation stutter

Force enable shader preloading^{[citation needed]}

This alleviates most of the shader compilation stutter by enabling shader preloading on load.

Will exacerbate the stuttering caused by loading/checkpoints between gameplay sections as the CPU is crunching on compiling shaders. Doesn´t work on current AMD RDNA2 systems due to the driver not caching the shaders properly. Doesn´t work when forcing the game to use DirectX 12 instead of the default DirectX 11.

Go to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Hk_project\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor.
Open Engine.ini with a text editor.
Add the following lines as a new paragraph at the bottom of the file and then save the file:

[/Script/Engine.RendererSettings]
r.CreateShadersOnLoad=1
