## Reference configuration

- Quality preset, native resolution, frame cap on.

- Wired DualSense for trigger feedback on terrain.

2. Index your owned dump; own your library.

3. Boot, cross one region twice, and compare the two passes before reporting.

## FAQ

### Is Death Stranding 2 Stable?

Yes. Repeated full-session runs confirm it. Treat a new region as a warm-up pass.

### Why do new regions hitch?

New terrain and weather effects compile on first sight. Second crossings are the measurement.

### What should I check first on a crash?

Firmware version, then GPU drivers per [Vulkan check](/reference/vulkan-check), then the runtime in [Missing runtime](/protocol/missing-runtime).
