[mild gorge]

take me back to the days of forums i s2g

[scarlet holly]

i don't have any lod scale stuff. which version did you try? lod adjustment was removed in 2.3 👀

[teal wing]

yo the 8700k is tbh such a good cpu i have 2 of them

@scarlet holly

[scarlet holly]

it's a BEAST of a cpu

[slow sky]

like... a few days ago? hahaha

[scarlet holly]

been running it since it released and absolutely got my money's worth

[scarlet holly]

brother it barely got released a few days ago and was buggy lol

try the latest

[rustic granite]

did you just use it now? and fps increase, just curious

[slow sky]

👀 ill check

[scarlet holly]

👀👀👀👀

[rustic granite]

qmqz for what cards did you make this ini ?

does it matter ?

[slow sky]

I used main 133 182 I think

now its 271

[scarlet holly]

it doesn't matter, there's no vram adjustment

[scarlet holly]

oh yeah dude, they're definitely nowhere near modern anti-stutter lol

[mild gorge]

uh what setting would be using all 32gb of my RAM and not touching my VRAM 😂

[rustic granite]

the fuck

[rustic granite]

something ain't right there 😄

[rustic granite]

lmk what your perf is after this mod

[scarlet holly]

man i love seeing these

[teal wing]

i know it isnt a K

[scarlet holly]

i was considering upgrading, but after looking at 1440p benchmark videos, i decided against it lol

[bitter sluice]

People will really download anything to get fps gains instead of upgrading

[scarlet holly]

can't upgrade your way out of this slop

[slow sky]

ill use my laptop 3070 until the day it explodes on my lap

[bitter sluice]

Maybe, but the mentality doesn’t change

[rustic granite]

not everyonw flows in money 😄

[bitter sluice]

Oh there’s always ways

[rustic granite]

not willing to spend 25k RSA Rand, on a gpu just now

[bitter sluice]

$20 is $20

[rustic granite]

i'll wait till 50xx release, then 40xx series will drop in price

fuck 50xx, they probz gonna be more than 25k

[slow sky]

you gonna need 50xx for GAMMA 2

5yrs from now

[rustic granite]

then i'll sell my body

😄

[scarlet holly]

also

[slow sky]

will do its compiling shaders (turned that off days ago too)

[rustic granite]

just for reference, a 4080/4090 in SA is $1375,67

basically

[scarlet holly]

i'm just saying but, big boi grok recommends my mod too 😤

[mellow quartz]

Anyone know how to fix the texture flickering at icarus

[livid spire]

3d Velcro!

[slow sky]

showoff :D

[bitter sluice]

Eotech replacement soon

[scarlet holly]

[rustic granite]

"destroys building interior lighting"

mhmm

[viral cipher]

@scarlet holly your mod is good for GPU gains but im good on GPU, I need CPU gains

just gotta wait for GSC

[scarlet holly]

mid version, yes

[slow sky]

wait until alife is turned on properly then your cpu is gonna need even more gains

[scarlet holly]

it's modular now, you can pick and choose your settings ❤️

Main has none of those drawbacks

[scarlet holly]

frametime drops significantly 👀

i think you'd be fine tbh

[rustic granite]

i think i'm chilling atm with my cpu, well it seems so. i5 13600k

[viral cipher]

yeah i already have most of those in my engine.ini

[scarlet holly]

did you copy/paste mine or someone elses?

[scarlet holly]

13600k is honestly a great cpu

[viral cipher]

made my own frankenstein

after testing for like 8 hours

[rustic granite]

it isn't bad

[scarlet holly]

entertain me for a sec bbygirl

[rustic granite]

but think of upgrading to a 4070 ti super next year

[mild gorge]

why is it filling my CPU RAM what in the world

[scarlet holly]

take screenshots of your fps and frametime with your engine.ini and then my engine.ini

[rustic granite]

To enable Bright mode, set r.Color.Mid=0.55 to r.Color.Mid=0.75

whats this in the readme

[scarlet holly]

just to make the game brighter

[rustic granite]

aah

like gamma

[slow sky]

you wont like the results

[scarlet holly]

i had two versions originally, but got tired of uploading two even tho it was 1 line difference

[rustic granite]

or does it light up the dark places

like rooms,offices,tunnels etc

[scarlet holly]

ur banned if they're negative

[scarlet holly]

just overall game brightness

[rustic granite]

aah

[scarlet holly]

0.5 is the default, so it's been slightly brighter than most others

[rustic granite]

now i'd like to know too

[scarlet holly]

there's also the skylight multiplier

r.SkylightIntensityMultiplier=1.1

default value of 1.0

[slow sky]

the old engine.ini of yours I used and tweaked had 98fps on TSR 100% with framegen, now it has 87-89

[rustic granite]

this does what ?

[scarlet holly]

did you use 1.7?

i had virtual shadows disabled

which led to a lot of terrible interior lighting, but it performed amazingly

[slow sky]

Main Version-133-1-8-2-1732476684

[rustic granite]

now i'm contemplating if i want your mod or not ?

😄

[slow sky]

it has virtual shadows enabled

[scarlet holly]

[slow sky]

hmmge

[scarlet holly]

does it have lumenindirect enabled?

[teal wing]

guys do you check the default values before enabling these

[scarlet holly]

ah yeah, the ssao is also disabled in that version

[neat valley]

@scarlet holly I noticed your engine.ini file is missing the [Core.System] that is in the normal engine.ini file, would that cause issues?

[scarlet holly]

people kept calling the mod ugly, so it got re-enabled at the cost of 3-5 fps

[scarlet holly]

idk man, i just copy/paste the lines

and they do things

[teal wing]

why do you have ssao disabled if lumen controls ao

?

[mild gorge]

all that AO talk earlier

[scarlet holly]

3-5fps performance cost, but that's lumen ssao

[teal wing]

mustve missed

GTAO?

[scarlet holly]

completely disabled

[teal wing]

with ambientocclusionmethod1?

0?

[mild gorge]

0

[teal wing]

ambient occlusion method isnt affected by lumen ambient occlusion

[slow sky]

its r.Lumen.DiffuseIndirect.Allow=1 in both versions

[teal wing]

its gtao

im confoosd

[bitter sluice]

I love Grand theft auto online

[scarlet holly]

you're confusing me

lumen ssao is what was disabled

[teal wing]

ic

i understan

[scarlet holly]

r.Lumen.DiffuseIndirect.SSAO=0

[teal wing]

perf

[scarlet holly]

i see what it was

sg.ResolutionQuality=75

[teal wing]

thats entirely different command

[scarlet holly]

[teal wing]

sorry theres 6783 console variables and i only have a couple thousand memorized

my b

https://www.cnblogs.com/kekec/p/17841097.html

oof i was off

oh well

theres every command possible

[scarlet holly]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/850202231835852810/1129201709978226698/yum.gif

[teal wing]

imagine i read

[slow sky]

yep after doing that via console its up to 108fps (prev mod 98fps)

[teal wing]

couldnt be me

[rustic granite]

i'm try this engine.in see what's what

[radiant ledge]

testing RR with yerts's suggested values and whatever worked for me previously...DUDE! It's amazing, seriously. It's also so CRISP at 1080p DLAA

I'm in love

[teal wing]

sorry i totally didnt scroll up lol

[scarlet holly]

you had me kinda worried imma be real

[scarlet holly]

tfw i didn't even post it in this channel

[slow sky]

I had myself worried as well bro

[rustic granite]

what was his suggested vallues ?

[scarlet holly]

https://tenor.com/view/donald-trump-trump-i-dont-take-responsibility-responsibility-gif-17270144

[rustic granite]

for intrest sake

dunno if i applied it

[teal wing]

incredible news

[radiant ledge]

don't even want to use 1440p DLSS anymore

[teal wing]

that prob makes sense then

[scarlet holly]

no it's okay, keep apologizing

it's all your fault

https://tenor.com/view/goofy-cry-gif-27179062

[radiant ledge]

tap yourself on the shoulder, girl, we know you're knowledgeable, no need to brag

[rustic granite]

just put this in the engine ?

[bitter sluice]

1440 DLAA be looking really good tho

Wish I could just do native without it looking like tv static

[teal wing]

im so tired its been 14 hours of this

[radiant ledge]

no VRAM for it, though XD

[teal wing]

its my bed time(((((

[scarlet holly]

yes............

you would uhh

[slow sky]

basically the newer version perform better but the old version had sg.ResolutionQuality=75 in engine.ini which gives more fps but obviously worsens image quality

[scarlet holly]

get a slightly worse image tho

[rustic granite]

why

[radiant ledge]

I haven't slept all night and I will have to speak to people in 6 hours pretending I'm not a zombie lol

[teal wing]

yknow whats fun

[radiant ledge]

I get ya

[rustic granite]

so what

[teal wing]

hey qmqz i havent even read your thing but does it have variable shading

?

[scarlet holly]

if you want the performance, don't let us stop you lol

[rustic granite]

the newer/latest version does not increase fps ?

[scarlet holly]

yes

vrs is enabled

[teal wing]

sick

love that

[scarlet holly]

i tried a shit ton of different methods for fps gains

[radiant ledge]

is vrs working? I wasn't sure tbh

[slow sky]

it does, the other settings are way better. then if you need extra fps add sg.ResolutionQuality=75 in the engine.ini manually

[teal wing]

vrs works

[mild gorge]

i gotta start a new engine ini and im cry

[teal wing]

oh yeah meaneugene

i suggest it

i endorse

vrs

[scarlet holly]

it works, it freed up around 5fps for me

[teal wing]

👍

[rustic granite]

but image just gonna look shitter ?

[slow sky]

good job @scarlet holly :)

[scarlet holly]

i imagine it helped frametime somewhere

[teal wing]

i present to you

r.VRS.Enable=1

[radiant ledge]

are there any options to increase it's agressiveness or is just automatic?

[teal wing]

turn it on hoe

[radiant ledge]

I had it for a day or two...just didn't know if it worked XD

[slow sky]

slightly it will but the old version of the mod has it already, so its not gonna look worse than the old version

[teal wing]

everything is snake oil

[scarlet holly]

it definitely works

[teal wing]

we are all gaslighting each other

[radiant ledge]

I'm too lazy to setup a proper testing environment for any of this

[teal wing]

none of this is real

[radiant ledge]

it sure feels like this sometimes XD

[rustic granite]

so all in all did you gain any fps boost or did you use sg.ResolutionQuality=75

[radiant ledge]

sg.ResolutionQuality=75...okay what did I miss while I was tweaking myself?

[rustic granite]

in his latest version

[slow sky]

brother xD

[rustic granite]

i'm confused af

maybe i need sleep to

[slow sky]

the old version has sg.ResolutionQuality=75 already

the new version does not

if you use the new version with sg.ResolutionQuality=75 you get more fps than with the old version that has it already

meaning the new version is better

[rustic granite]

aaaah

[mild gorge]

does order of commands matter

[radiant ledge]

version of what!?

[scarlet holly]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/133

[rustic granite]

but sg.r also slightly tanks image quality

[slow sky]

of this

[radiant ledge]

ah, whatever, I'll go look up the command myself

[scarlet holly]

that's why it was removed

[rustic granite]

i see

[radiant ledge]

I only trust my own delusions and yerts

[scarlet holly]

the gains were nice tho

[ocean lintel]

yall cant play stalker 2 on epic 120+ fps

[slow sky]

does nothing for me

[teal wing]

incredible

but

[mild gorge]

VRS has to be enabled in windows, no?

[scarlet holly]

i had to restart the game

save it in engine.ini

[slow sky]

aah

[scarlet holly]

and then it worked for me

well, preferably you save and then restart

[slow sky]

anyone knows the line that skips shader compiling since im too lazy to google it myself

[radiant ledge]

tried to turn it off in debug console, am confused, so...does it execute on engine start only or is it completely walled off?

[viral cipher]

12k drawcalls in garbage seems a bit excessive GSC

[scarlet holly]

on engine start

[scarlet holly]

yes, thank you for asking

[radiant ledge]

DX12 can handle a lot more than 12k drawcalls to my knowledge, this isn't your grandma's DX11

[teal wing]

dx12 is fucking lit dude

[merry mountain]

[SystemSettings]
r.PSOWarmup.WarmupMaterials=0

shoot, too late

[scarlet holly]

r.PSOWarmup.WarmupMaterials=0

[viral cipher]

my cpu doesnt seem to enjoy it

[teal wing]

convince me to use this rn

[scarlet holly]

[slow sky]

love u

[scarlet holly]

you wanna know what's crazy?

[radiant ledge]

my shaders compile in under a minute, and I am paranoid over UE's shader compilation woes, I left it at 1, fuck it

[slow sky]

if u ever start testing and tweaking alife configs u will physically need this

[scarlet holly]

only 2 lines attributed to like 75% of the heavy lifting my config does

[viral cipher]

I heard that the shaders don't even get stored anywhere, they just compile and get yeeted

but maybe thats just internet being the internet

[scarlet holly]

the frametimes and such? literally two lines contribute to almost all of it

[teal wing]

no i am already

[shrewd rampart]

Goes for anyone that needs to restart game every 30 seconds. Saves precious time, and that's it.

[mild gorge]

RawMouseInputEnabled is True, 1, or Enabled?

[scarlet holly]

here i got u

[teal wing]

check the docs, my lord

[scarlet holly]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PU0ekiQnJhU

[mild gorge]

I searched mouse and acceleration

I did my brother I did https://www.cnblogs.com/kekec/p/17841097.html

[teal wing]

doth thoust havest ue downloaded mine lord

[mild gorge]

fucketh noeth

[rustic granite]

urhmm @scarlet holly your engine just made me happy, everything feels so much smoother as if i'm running on a 4090 and input delay is totally gone for me even though i have fsr frame gen on, and fps pretty much trippled for me, prev before your enginge.ini i was running at 80-95 ish now i'm running at this

[teal wing]

i just peed

[rustic granite]

appreciated

[merry mountain]

stop fighting for fps, get debug menu working instead

[slow sky]

xmas came early

[scarlet holly]

absolutely based

[rustic granite]

xD

it's so much fucking smoother

[scarlet holly]

i wish people would give it another chance. i know it had a rough start lol

[merry mountain]

just buy 4090, easy fix

[viral cipher]

now test in the city

[rustic granite]

feels like butter, and barely any loss in image quality

[scarlet holly]

i gotchu bbygirl

[slow sky]

shhhhh let the wishgranter illusion last

[scarlet holly]

[lost saddle]

Does zz_Maklane_better_shootouts_No_Aimbot_NPC_P work with ZZZZ_ALife_Extended_x_Axxis_Stealth_P cuz it show conflict?

[stiff canyon]

I used that from day 1 BUT i did not change anything at all. No Graphic settings ( everything on Epic no dlls no framegen running at 70-80fps wich is more than enough for me to make it smooth) no mods added no gpu drivers update or anything.

[rustic granite]

had a save there, it's around 87-92 in towns/city's

[scarlet holly]

a lot of improvements have been made since i recorded this video though

[mild gorge]

imagine not posting this as a reply to his
imagine discord for finding info, pure arthur fist moment for me daily
sorry yall this stalker just not stalking tn

[stiff canyon]

I literally got 0 crashes UP until i left sircaa institute now i get crashes all the fuckin time :C *about 25-30h in

[slow sky]

bro Im there about to leave youre making my schizo tendencies come back

[viral cipher]

I can put my render resolution at 144p and still get the same fps at slag heap

[radiant ledge]

why do you have r.VolumetricFog set to 0? Why turn volumteric fog completely off?

[viral cipher]

i dont think an ini is gonna save me

[teal wing]

ok just listen.
@scarlet holly , specifically. what im interested in, is consolidating. What we are looking for here are tangible benefits that pinpoint the exact thing the devs need to look in to. I would ask you to consider the necessity of having so many, in an attempt for doing that. This way the devs can best integrate this into the game.

[scarlet holly]

big ugly

[stiff canyon]

im sowieeee :3

[radiant ledge]

no U!

[slow sky]

I had this weird interior visual glitch in long hallways, like pixelated fog until I just turned it off completely

[rustic granite]

i think i'm tired

[radiant ledge]

I just tried it, got rif of the fog, didn't improve my fps 1 bit though

[scarlet holly]

i'll tell you my secrets

r.Nanite.Streaming.MaxPageInstallsPerFrame=16
r.Nanite.Streaming.MaxPendingPages=16

that's it

[slow sky]

keep it on then :p unless you get pixelated fog in some parts of the map

[scarlet holly]

that's what does like 75% of the hard work

make an empty engine.ini with just that

[slow sky]

can it be changed so it does more? o:

[scarlet holly]

and you'll see lol

[scarlet holly]

i don't think so, i already abused it

[radiant ledge]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...why did I not test these further?

[viral cipher]

those do nothing for me @scarlet holly

in town

[scarlet holly]

because your heart wasn't in it, yugi boy

[scarlet holly]

i had to restart

[radiant ledge]

fugmylife

[viral cipher]

ight ill try

i found the most cpu intensive spot in slag heap

37 fps

[scarlet holly]

r.InstanceCulling.OcclusionCull=1 another 3-5fps was found here

[slow sky]

@scarlet holly another thing that makes 0 sense to me but uhhhh

setting sg.ResolutionQuality=75 in the engine.ini doesn't actually work, I have to do it via console

and everytime i alttab to discord it goes back to 100

i want to scream

[scarlet holly]

do you have dlss on?

[slow sky]

TSR at 100, I guess setting it to 75 does the same thing as that line?

[scarlet holly]

it sets it to 75 iirc

check the value

[mild gorge]

nvm*

[viral cipher]

nanite cmds went from 37 to 38 fps

ill take it

[slow sky]

yeah im dumb ty
once again good job with this

[mortal lantern]

Thats a 100% increase of 1 frame! 😄

[viral cipher]

[scarlet holly]

from the two i listed earlier???

[slow sky]

at SIRCAA with laptop 3070 i get 110ish fps with fgen... playable

[viral cipher]

yes

[scarlet holly]

unpossible

what's your frametime like when you turn your mouse?

[viral cipher]

im only testing in cpu bottlenecked spots because thats the only place my fps dips

[scarlet holly]

check the before and after

[viral cipher]

frametimes are fine

[scarlet holly]

oh

[viral cipher]

not stuttering or anything, just want the game to use my cpu more

[slow sky]

check if you need to restart the game maybe

[viral cipher]

not possible i think

already restarted

[slow sky]

gotcha

[teal wing]

i shall try..

[viral cipher]

i got like 80 fps when not near NPCs

on epic

[rustic granite]

strange that you okes fps drops so low in towns/citys

[viral cipher]

but slag heap showcases the cpu bottleneck of the AI

[rustic granite]

with qmqz's mod, i went to pripyat, and i have a stable 83-87 fps

[viral cipher]

10900k as well at 5ghz, its not terrible

[teal wing]

clamp lod bias in nvidia control panel while testing npcs and report back

pls babe

💕

[viral cipher]

fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine

[scarlet holly]

with those 2 lines

[viral cipher]

im clamped up lets see

[scarlet holly]

without those 2 lines

[mild gorge]

mind tldring the intuition?

[scarlet holly]

the frametimes are disgusting

fuck

[teal wing]

its gonna be a paragraph

[viral cipher]

same fps

[teal wing]

no no

stuttering and frametime

how does it drive

?

[radiant ledge]

I'm seeing real weird shit going on with LODs...just...weird

[viral cipher]

feels the same

no stutter really

[teal wing]

clamping should be good for extreme scene traversal

essentially you dont have any chance of first loading in a texture, then again loading a farther lod

[radiant ledge]

there's an armored car there...wel, there supposed to be one, but it's a deformed hull instead

[teal wing]

its a significant bandwidth reduction

meaning you can load much higher res textures Consistently

all the time

BUT its slightly blurry

[viral cipher]

Yeah but isnt that all happening on the gpu

[teal wing]

Indeed but imagine this

[rustic granite]

wait, what lines you talking about

[radiant ledge]

where do you think the GPU gets the instructions from? 🙂

[vital coyote]

engine ini is pretty dope ty for sharing my dood. good work

[viral cipher]

yeah but its the same amount of instructions right, just different quality lods

idk enough about it to say lol

[radiant ledge]

it's the same files, but the lod bias allows them to stream in higher quality, thus using more bandwidth...yerts will explain it better than me anyway...

[teal wing]

this is your gpu usage on allow with the extra bandwidth. It spikes up and essentially creates an IO bottleneck and results in frametime inconsistency or even stuttering or lag at worst. It would be a split second if your system is high end, but noticeable when traversing worlds quickly.

this is your gpu on clamp

[viral cipher]

hes whippin out the chalk board

[radiant ledge]

this is my brain

[radiant ledge]

this is my brain on 5 gum

[teal wing]

oml 5 gum

i want the green one

no wait

blu

[rustic granite]

qucik question, how do you enable the hud counters at the top left?, what you using to do this

[viral cipher]

i shouold use clamp in gamma then

i assume it would help

[scarlet holly]

msi afterburner

[teal wing]

honestly reprize

[rustic granite]

does it work on asus mobo

[sick pebble]

Does the game spit out any readable crash logs anywhere?

[teal wing]

its able to be done without a restart, you can see it change in real time. Combine it with 16x anisotropic filtering. With Allow+16x, its much sharper.

[scarlet holly]

ty ty

[teal wing]

NVCPL sets it to clamp when you change to 16x too

[viral cipher]

wait clamp can be changed at runtime?

[teal wing]

yes

[scarlet holly]

r.Nanite.Streaming.MaxPageInstallsPerFrame=16
r.Nanite.Streaming.MaxPendingPages=16

[viral cipher]

pog

[rustic granite]

is this in your engine.ini?

[teal wing]

i suggest viewing foliage

for best representation of the change

[scarlet holly]

it's why my engine.ini is the fastest in the west baby

[teal wing]

and by foliage

i mean

[radiant ledge]

JEZUS I CAN'T GET OVER HOW CRISP THE GAME LOOKS WITH DLAA AND RR!!!

[rustic granite]

xD

[viral cipher]

vram usage seems the same as well

[rustic granite]

well i'm located in the east of my country so

[teal wing]

horizon based trees are best to show the difference @viral cipher

[scarlet holly]

go far west enough and it becomes east

[rustic granite]

haha

[viral cipher]

you mean these suckers

😄

[teal wing]

yes

they may noticeable slightly "poof" with blur in texturequality

youll notice sharper image with allow and shimmering

whereas clamp is always very smooth

[rustic granite]

what we looking at here? , barrel and some branches ?

[teal wing]

aliasing is nonexistent too

which is a plus

[rustic granite]

you using dlss dlaa?

[teal wing]

and load close to far sudden scene changes require less sudden io thread quantum

[rustic granite]

dlaa upscaling ?

[teal wing]

basically :p

[radiant ledge]

yes, https://imgur.com/a/U2Nfdxi check this out

[rustic granite]

wich one would frame time be here ?

[blazing orchid]

I am too it looks so good

[rustic granite]

jesus, yeah nice. what gpu ? for intrest sake

but what's the diff between just dlss quality and dlss dlaa

[blazing orchid]

sameeeeee

[radiant ledge]

The only time I remember being so impressed by image quality on my hardware was when I played Dark Souls 2 SoFS at 4K via DSR way back in 2016 on a GTX960 lol

[radiant ledge]

3070

[rustic granite]

mhmm

[blazing orchid]

how much vram?

[rustic granite]

not bad

what fps you getting though

[topaz cape]

2

[rustic granite]

and that too ^

[sterile axle]

i dont know why but DLSS always seems blurry to me even on DLAA

FSR looks way better imho

visibility wise

[radiant ledge]

it only has one option (THANKS, NVIDIA!) 8GBs...or are you asking about the texture pool setting?

[flint flicker]

I'm trying to use this mod, I have the simple loader as well. The commands are not recognized. Anyone else having this issue?

[teal wing]

ur pov just made me correct my posture

[mild gorge]

how do you set commands while in game again? console installed obvs

[teal wing]

[rustic granite]

someone said their is a command in engine.ini or nvidia control panel that helps with dlss blur, think it was @teal wing erts

[blazing orchid]

this was before I got it dialed in in the ini lmao, also playing on a 3440x1440 about a 2-3 feet away from my face

[radiant ledge]

not too great, but it was much shittier in Zalisye before, and in wilderness it's tons better

[radiant ledge]

also super nice being GPU bound...

[merry mountain]

what do you mean with "how do you set commands"

[rustic granite]

can you advice @teal wing

[radiant ledge]

did it murder GPU performance?

[mild gorge]

I paste in r.Nanite.Streaming.MaxPageInstallsPerFrame=16
command not recognized
there is a way though, no?

[topaz cape]

space instead of =

[teal wing]

sorry here it is with flashlight shadow

[scarlet holly]

lel

[mild gorge]

gotcha tysm

[scarlet holly]

here man

[radiant ledge]

not in console, can't be changed on runtime IIRC

[untold prism]

Grok's Economy and Difficulty Fix Attempt not compatible with GrokBalanceQuestTweakPlusPay???

[teal wing]

nah

[mild gorge]

fair ty

[scarlet holly]

this is all you need

for good performance

[sterile axle]

for what

[scarlet holly]

wait

[mild gorge]

thanks homes

[scarlet holly]

where tf did i save it

[radiant ledge]

are flashlight shadows only possible with your WIP extension?

[teal wing]

nah thers a mod

probably 4

lol

by now

[merry mountain]

when you throw a bolt at windows they break but make no sound doing so 😅

[radiant ledge]

mind pointing me? Or just give a command, I saw you use it on stream 🙂

[teal wing]

i almost refunded

[blazing orchid]

i noticed that too lol

[radiant ledge]

there's a bunch of stuff breaking without sound emitters activating

for me, at least

[teal wing]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/221

[blazing orchid]

if you underthrow bolts straight in the air you can make them hit eachother lol

[scarlet holly]

this is it

[mild gorge]

sound is busted in general

[teal wing]

that one works

[scarlet holly]

it can get no better than this

[flint flicker]

@merry mountain were you able to get the flashlight mod to work?

[mild gorge]

tysm qmqz

[scarlet holly]

np np

[rustic granite]

same one ?

[scarlet holly]

that's literally all you need for good performance and it's just 5 lines long

[radiant ledge]

r.Shadow.Nanite...are they for real? This is a default? With no in-game option to turn off?

[scarlet holly]

idk, it was on when i checked and i turned it off and saved fps

lol

[radiant ledge]

oh...I'm a moron, I just didn't look into its commands >_<

[merry mountain]

no i didnt intend to, i might just look at it for the saving and loading of stuff because it may help with analyzing savefiles

[fierce trench]

Hey guys been working on a gaz mask overlay for myself since I saw the one on nexus, can you guys tell me what you think and what I should change ty, first time modding

[rustic granite]

@teal wing what was the fix for this ?

do you know

[radiant ledge]

oh wow, I can finally see what my CPU is capable of if I put aggressive upscaling on

[teal wing]

bro tf

[rustic granite]

yeah

[radiant ledge]

util is shit though, but still

[radiant ledge]

is that with r.Lumen.Reflections.DownsampleFactor=1?

[mild gorge]

bro playing stalcraft 2

[rustic granite]

will check now if it's in engine.ini

[radiant ledge]

'cause it doesn't look like that

you can change on runtime

try to use the command in game in console

[rustic granite]

nope not in ini

[radiant ledge]

put it there then, bro

[rustic granite]

i thought that was what's missing

thanks

i remember prev ini had it

[topaz cape]

a little closer and out of focus is what i'd do

[fierce trench]

thank you! will work on textures when I'm happy with placement, good call

[buoyant pebble]

hey guys! I know that's a silly question, can someone lead me where can I find a file to change sprint speed? I don't need it as a mode, just change sprint speed in game for a while

[radiant ledge]

okay, guys...HOLY SHIT, is this playable Stalker 2, right in front of my massive disappointment on release!?

[teal wing]

https://tenor.com/view/hans-landa-hans-landa-looking-hans-landa-stare-inglоurious-bаsterds-gif-17629329727840191587

[merry mountain]

i just noticed that we can just walk through npcs 😅

[rustic granite]

it better, thanks

[radiant ledge]

SOME. For some reason it seems like only some NPCs lack colission

[topaz cape]

tell that to the dude who was blocking the only door to the building while i was inside..

[radiant ledge]

I saw a random stalker in the field - managed to run through him, but Ward mofos in Zalisye have colission

[merry mountain]

yeah you are right

[radiant ledge]

crazy conspiracy theory time: what if the game ticks checks for colission on NPCs in towns and wastes our CPU resources on that shit?

[merry mountain]

iits fine on my 7950X 😛

[radiant ledge]

look at mister money ova there

my measley 5600X has to suffer though

[rustic granite]

so is this what the other guy meant by dlss looking blurry, like close it's fine but distance it blurs a bit

iirc there was someone saying there's a fix for it but i can't remember what it was, anyone have a fix for dlss being blurry ?

[radiant ledge]

NVCPL - force AF to 16x, set negative LOD bias to Allow

[rustic granite]

it's on allow

[radiant ledge]

but beware - it'll eat your VRAM and its bandwidth, if you're low on VRAM or you don't have a fast enough CPU+GPU+RAM combo, don't do it and put it on clamp

[rustic granite]

NVCPL - force AF to 16x i do where ?

12gb vram, 32gbn ram ?

[radiant ledge]

add Stalker 2 as a program to the control panel

[rustic granite]

i5 13600k rtx 3060

[radiant ledge]

and do it there

[teal wing]

thats a clean reflection bro

[rustic granite]

it is

i'll check

[radiant ledge]

they look so beautiful with RR and DLAA

I'm in love

[rustic granite]

ngl i don't even hae these reflections with RR

have not tested with DLAA yet

[mighty compass]

Anyone know which variable for object pop in distance ?

[teal wing]

dont

[fierce trench]

A few more tweaks to the nose bit.. too much light I think @topaz cape

[void sand]

what happened to AR Stipes modpak??

[scarlet holly]

crisp

[teal wing]

also uh

i dare you to try :

r.eyeadaptationquality 3

[scarlet holly]

cum

[teal wing]

ew

[scarlet holly]

manual mode

[stiff canyon]

anyone familiar with windb and stalker 2 minidump files? I cant figure that shit out im a noob 🙂

[scarlet holly]

i already tried disabling auto-exposure/eye-adaptation

[teal wing]

no

leave it all default

[scarlet holly]

wot

[teal wing]

yes ill explain

[scarlet holly]

my bad

[teal wing]

the game uses a value of 2 default which is equivalent of high and if combined with using epic settings it can create issues so setting it to 3 sets it to the epic value and for some reason increases my perf

[scarlet holly]

r.EyeAdaptation.MethodOverride was thinking of this lol

[teal wing]

like

[scarlet holly]

1: low quality (e.g. non histogram based, not yet implemented)
2: normal quality (default)
3: high quality (e.g. screen position localized, not yet implemented

i think that's cause it doesn't really work

lol

[teal wing]

intrest

cring

[scarlet holly]

[radiant ledge]

Epic settings for post processing? They turn on very aggressive vignetting

[teal wing]

good thing i havent saved that

[scarlet holly]

wanna see something really cool tho

https://imgsli.com/MzIyMDA0

[bitter sluice]

Just run defaults

[teal wing]

ye

[radiant ledge]

Cool...what did you find?

[scarlet holly]

r.Lumen.ScreenProbeGather.DirectLighting=1

https://imgsli.com/MzIyMDA1

https://imgsli.com/MzIyMDA2

[bright raptor]

wasteland gamemode when

[scarlet holly]

you ready for this?

[bitter sluice]

Incredible modifications being had

[scarlet holly]

uhh the thing is tho

with that light mod

it doesn't cost any fps

but the flashlight is insanely bright and there can be ghosting when moving with one

[teal wing]

foliage scale distance goes hard

[bitter sluice]

That’s great man but I wanna see someone import dust2 into the game

[scarlet holly]

prolly just need to adjust some settings to make it look good

[bright raptor]

@scarlet holly I think you weren't replying to me. no prob.

[scarlet holly]

no no

you asked for a wasteland

you got one

and today on... diamon diamond city radio..

[bright raptor]

oh I was thinking along the lines of wasteland MP like in arma lol

[bitter sluice]

[vital coyote]

dude between qmqz's ini and the ray reconstruction my game is looking better then all the bullshit ive been throwing at the wall for days. used to be at 40-50 fps (with frame gen) in the spot im in now and im sitting at 80-100

ty ty all you wonderfull dudes and dudets

[radiant ledge]

Now I just wish my game didn't randomly crash...but that's probably too much of a tall order without patches

[scarlet holly]

i'm always happy to see someone benefiting from better performance

[mighty compass]

Whats the ray reconstruction is it ini tweak or?

[sand parrot]

I may dabble in creating mods with this game, any articles or videos on where to start?

[vital coyote]

ohh dam just saw your comment that it can be combined with tweaks s.2

[radiant ledge]

Okay, qmqz, maybe you can include the RR into description or integrate the fix into a separate file? People asking and eventually it'll get tiring to explain

[vital coyote]

is RR usable for amd pple?

[scarlet holly]

idk anything about rr

[scarlet holly]

yeah, i mean

here's the thing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1Z-k9tthCI

my mod alone severely outclasses s.2

and it's not close lol

but yes, i just made a base version too that you can download

it should be easily copy/pastable into his ini

[radiant ledge]

ah damn...okay, we need a pin for this stuff and I ain't doing it

[vital coyote]

hehe look at you flexen on the compitation, jk lmao but ill stick with yours for now and just keep it in mind haha

[scarlet holly]

i think it's looking good tbh

[stiff canyon]

im still wondering why they decided to leave such kind of features out or make it "veteran only"

[radiant ledge]

this is my engine.ini now and it's beautiful...and it works like a charm, thanks everyone here for advice

[scarlet holly]

that's really all it takes lol

[fierce trench]

thank you, will keep it like that for now

[bitter sluice]

Now do NVGs

[scarlet holly]

is the shattered glass a varient? or is that how it's going to remain?

[bitter sluice]

[fierce trench]

I want to make one with way less cracks and one with none I think or dirty lens

[fierce trench]

there's already one no?

[scarlet holly]

that would be a great idea tbh

[bitter sluice]

Prolly I just like pushing people onto things I personally want while I work on something else I want

[scarlet holly]

come push yourself up on me

[scarlet holly]

people kept yapping about the oneframethreadlag improving latency or whatever, but i legit never felt it made any difference

[radiant ledge]

I may be insane, but with FG on it makes a toooon of difference, but I'll try again, right now

[gaunt lotus]

There is a severe lack of audio mods on the Nexus, thought more people would jump on that ASAP.

[scarlet holly]

i play with dlss/fg too, just never noticed

but i mean, i do have really high fps and frametime to begin with

[scarlet holly]

there is one guy, he gave me permission to steal his code

then i realized several lines didn't even work on this ue version

then i deleted everything

[bitter sluice]

If we’re being honest, games audio is already really good. I can’t see doing much else to it other than making slight things quieter

[scarlet holly]

[gaunt lotus]

Ive just been making a few QoL things like quieter detectors and such

but im surprised there arent a bunch of realistic gun sound overhauls

[scarlet holly]

a real qol is getting rid of that annoying ass low radiation sound

[scarlet holly]

bruther

[gaunt lotus]

I might just do that actually

[scarlet holly]

it's been a few days lol

[sick pebble]

I was looking into a way to increase gun/explosion SFX without rendering the SFX again but gave up

[gaunt lotus]

STALKER fans work quick

[bitter sluice]

Once I make a breakthrough with full model additions I’m sure I’ll throw in some custom sounds

[vital coyote]

audio wise this bad boy just dropped https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/383?tab=files

[gaunt lotus]

Yeah I made that

[bitter sluice]

Wait till you find out who made it

[scarlet holly]

https://tenor.com/view/baffo-baffi-baffone-moustache-mustacchio-gif-22267266

[vital coyote]

bless your fucking soul i hope both sides of your pillow are always cold

[scarlet holly]

it was claytor all along

[vital coyote]

was looken for them files for a while till i gave up still learning all this ue bull

[gaunt lotus]

I made another for the Echo, but since the Bear is much more bearable to listen to its not a huge problem for most people

[scarlet holly]

man, i can't believe it

this is my first game mod ever lmao

insane

and the performance speaks for itself

i genuinely can't believe how successful it is

[vital coyote]

should get nexus premium for life after a while

[scarlet holly]

they gave me like 2 months? lmao

[vital coyote]

dont know the threshold

[scarlet holly]

pretty based in all honesty

[vital coyote]

ohh not sure i never publish any of my mods x)

[gaunt lotus]

nice, my first S2 mod is only at 150 dl's

but its a meme mod so eh

[radiant ledge]

Do you enjoy Bethesda games, dude? You'll have a hell of a fun time downloading mods for them now. I envy you...

[scarlet holly]

i played a lot of fallout 4

really enjoyed constantly setting it to rain

[gaunt lotus]

Unless im missing something it looks like the geiger counter uses 8 different sound effects that play randomly at all radiation levels, just overlapping

[scarlet holly]

been thinking of getting back into skyrimjob

[scarlet holly]

gotta start somewhere 👀

[gaunt lotus]

So its pretty much an all-or-nothing deal, might just lower the volume on them all

[vital coyote]

waba jack all the things the world is your oister now

[radiant ledge]

Nah I swear, I come back to FNV, F4 and SkyrimSE all the time and I missed out on lifetime premium way back when (felt greedy, now I regret), and I hate the process of downloading mods at 3mb/s

[scarlet holly]

painfully relatable

[gaunt lotus]

is the trampoline anomaly called Lift?

[scarlet holly]

i tried modding skyrim a few months ago

but that download speed was crazy

[radiant ledge]

btw, I tried the r.OneFrameThreadLag setting with FG...I can't do without setting it to 0, input lag makes me want to vomit with it at 1

[topaz cape]

i wish the reward system had existed back then for skyrim, i'd be rich

[radiant ledge]

it may also not help that I have vsync in control panel since I use gsync permanently

[vital coyote]

re upload with an update LUL

[scarlet holly]

weird... i guess i should prolly add it then so people don't complain

[teal wing]

Congratulations

[radiant ledge]

holy guacamole, what is the mod?

[scarlet holly]

ty ty, i genuinely didn't see this working out so well

even crazier to get a recommendation by grok on my first mod release lol

[scarlet holly]

i'm pretty sure it's the uhh

body mod

[topaz cape]

triss armor

[scarlet holly]

[radiant ledge]

dude...you do you, seriously. I'd just put it as an addendum, personally

[radiant ledge]

[vital coyote]

totaly right

i think thats the one some people say may cost some frames tho not sure

[gaunt lotus]

Looks like the trampoline anomaly is called Gravity and the Glass shards anomaly is called Razor internally

I think I'll hook up "YIPPIE" and "WEEEE" sounds to play whenever you bounce on a Gravity

[topaz cape]

https://tenor.com/view/yippee-iluvmybf-gif-8809021896230698751

[scarlet holly]

i read the same thing, but when i tested it, it made no difference fps-wise either

[vital coyote]

think its a cpu thing, i have a baby cpu not sure but i see a bit of a bump in cpu usage while toggling but its hard to tell

[gaunt lotus]

Has anyone found a way to make the reflections even cheaper than Low? It still does world scene reflections which is bothersome.

[gaunt lotus]

Thats gotta be slightly taxing on performance, right?

[worldly arrow]

the lumer probably has something to do with it and yes

not that much though in my experience

you might wanna look into getting a better gpu

[gaunt lotus]

I got a 3070 which gives me really high fps outside of settlements on medium

[worldly arrow]

go low on everything

[gaunt lotus]

but reflections are also bright as SHIT even underground

[worldly arrow]

i'll show you a good engine.ini i got

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/176

[gaunt lotus]

my performance is decent as-is, I just want opaque reflections that dont show the world/sky

[scarlet holly]

oh

r.Refraction.OffsetQuality=1 add this

it makes the uhh

invisible anomaly bubble thing whatever the fuck look better. no fps hit from what i saw

[worldly arrow]

??

do you just not like reflections

[gaunt lotus]

not when im underground and they still act like there is a bright sky overhead

[worldly arrow]

hasn't happened to me unless i use my lgiht

[scarlet holly]

@teal wing

[gaunt lotus]

might be a sideeffect of the .ini im using

[scarlet holly]

r.Refraction.OffsetQuality=1

[teal wing]

hm

Oh alright I’ll try it tmrw going to bed

[scarlet holly]

bet bet gn

[fierce trench]

Ok the clean version is where it's at

[scarlet holly]

positively bussin

[bitter sluice]

Add some really alpha’d finger smudges and it’s golden

[gaunt lotus]

In a year we'll have goggles that fog up and a wipe keybind fs

[scarlet holly]

keybind to change filter too

[fierce trench]

😮

[radiant ledge]

does this execute on runtime?

[scarlet holly]

it's something you can do in-game

[radiant ledge]

noice

brb

[scarlet holly]

quick testing

but yeah it looks great

just like u

[vital coyote]

hey maybe will the help of all the dope ass people in the stalker community crowd sourcing fixes ue5 may not suck ass one day 🙂

[scarlet holly]

if they upgrade

5.4? i think is the one with frustrum culling

that'd make a HUGE difference

like actually insane

[gaunt lotus]

the performance boost is allegedly substantial

[scarlet holly]

allegedly

[vital coyote]

whats frustrum culling?

[worldly arrow]

from devs?

[scarlet holly]

from personal experience, frustrum culling makes a significant difference

[scarlet holly]

only render shit that you can see

[gaunt lotus]

only heard from randos, which is why I say allegedly

[scarlet holly]

more performant than regular occlusion

[vital coyote]

ohh bro there are minecraft mods for that x) why is it not in ue5 rn tf

[radiant ledge]

basically a method of occlusion culling that uses player camera information to understand what not to render due to overlap

[vital coyote]

word sounds like a good thing to have in game, lmao its 2024 thought that would have been in here already

[spring idol]

r.PSOWarmup.WarmupMaterials=0

[radiant ledge]

I have a question though...why can I not create new ini files? I mean, I can, but the game doesn't recognize them. I have to copy existing file in the config/windows directory, clear it, paste whatever values I want, rename it and then the game executes commands. It's...weird, cosnidering I checked the formatting and it was set to UTF-8

[mighty compass]

so i got the tree pop in fixed but anyone has a line to fix object pop in or its too performance heavy?

[gaunt lotus]

like which .ini file?

[radiant ledge]

Engine

It only works if I copy my original ones over and over XD

[gaunt lotus]

so you save it as a .ini and All file types and it wont work?

[spring idol]

view frustrum culling is legit a basic feature of most engines

[radiant ledge]

yup

[gaunt lotus]

Yeah I was wondering how this is groundbreaking, thought maybe it was way more efficient or something

[sudden summit]

whats the best tool to unpack .pak? Im using Unrealpak as its super easy to use just drag and drop no need to use any commands or smth

[gaunt lotus]

That is odd, if it shows as an .ini in the properties then im at a loss

Fmodel?

[radiant ledge]

Same. Oh well, I'll just create copies as I need for now...

[spring idol]

its not groundbreaking idk there is more misinformation in this channel than the US elections

[mystic igloo]

Im going to rant about a guy on the nexus page, the name of this guy is TheHybred. Former ubisoft employee (yikes) and ex mojang contractor. This guy has a mod called Responsive Input and had a major (beginner) issue in his code. In his Engine.ini file he had a line called RawMouseInputEnabled=Enabled. I commented that he should fix it by using the value 1 or true statement and guess what a couple hours later he deleted my comment and updated his mod lmao

[scarlet holly]

bro

it can't get any weirder than a guy i know

[gaunt lotus]

Jesus

[mystic igloo]

Ffs all these corporate pricks are always the same

[spring idol]

What if unreal enumed True Enabled and 1 as the same thing

[gaunt lotus]

I love .ini edit mods that have comments disabled, you know its mad fucked

[mystic igloo]

https://www.nexusmods.com/stalker2heartofchornobyl/mods/181?tab=posts

[spring idol]

also why the fuck people calling ini edits code

almost as ridiculous as the guy on my youtube comments saying the mod was pointless cause you can't see more than 60fps with the human eye

[mystic igloo]

wtf

[gaunt lotus]

Hanlon's Razor, maybe just asking curiously in an obtuse way

[honest crag]

anybody working on a freelook mod yet?

[vital coyote]

^ would be dope

[spring idol]

people on nexusmods are cooked

[mystic igloo]

nexusmods is cancer

[spring idol]

why the fuck are we even using nexusmods in the first place

[stiff canyon]

im sitting here since at least 3 hours trying to figure out why i keep crashing infront of malachite safezone. Is there a reason why the game keeps crashing after literally 45-48 seconds EVERY TIME but as soon as i delete the engine.ini the game runs flawlessly. The engine.ini file is empty theres nothing in it. Just by it beeing there the game crashes. If i delete it everythings fine 😮

[mystic igloo]

just wait a couple days and you'll see nsfw bloodsucker mods renamed into cocksuckers with huge tits, take fallout 4 for example.

[orchid sentinel]

There a mod that somewhat fixes a-life without completely tanking performance yet?

[gaunt lotus]

Nexus is just convenient enough for most people to use

[spring idol]

dont we have a moddb page already

[radiant ledge]

consolidation of the web within hands of a few platofrms in favor of ease of access for the populace...

and then it got crazy

[gaunt lotus]

I was considering replacing Bloodsucker sfx with TF2 spy doing french noises.

[mystic igloo]

in the stalker community yeah moddb is the way to go but since stalker 2 has a lot of new players coming in to the series people tend to use nexus because of vortex

[scarlet holly]

i just stopped trying to help him

prolly a bitter dev

[molten cargo]

Deleting comment is wrong move, i find it better to just reply with a, "Thank you!"

[mystic igloo]

yeah nexus is full of people like that, its common.

[molten cargo]

Nexus so much better UI though

[scarlet holly]

i feel like a huge part of performance mods is that there is ALWAYS something to sacrifice

[vital coyote]

vewing pictures on nexus is always super wierd cuts off the bottem

[scarlet holly]

kinda weird to be rude about it, y'know?

ah well

[vital coyote]

web is stock full of cancer just have to ignore it

[mystic igloo]

Better ui and download speeds if you got the cash

[sudden summit]

console commands are confusing whats the command to spawn an item ?

[vital coyote]

gate keepers and salty pple who just like to be mad at shit

Im all ready to download Hip Reborn.

[gaunt lotus]

Im hoping someone will add the ability to move around while holding an artifact

[proper grove]

Any mod out there that disable "personal connected chest". I want to manage each base differently

[radiant ledge]

A pointer for the lazy? 🙂

[gaunt lotus]

Gotta flex on all the Loners by pondering my orb

[sudden summit]

thanks, I thought so that spawn is not the right one I was checking and all commands are strange 😄

[topaz cape]

how do you even hold an artifact, i just pick them up and stash them away instantly

[vital coyote]

right click

[topaz cape]

oh.

:D

[vital coyote]

in the menue

[molten cargo]

People were looking in the configs and finding Binocs and NVG. Has there been any lines for other juicy cut content like Burnt Fuzz? Fractures?

[vital coyote]

best new thing in s2

so freeken dope

also when you pick it up for the first time you can hold p but it bugs out alot

[gaunt lotus]

Find out if theres a variable to control the PDA fov zoom, similar to how Fallout 4 had one?

[vital coyote]

and your usualy in a bad place

[summer adder]

Anybody able to explain the Difference to stamina costs that editing the StaminaRegenStateCoefs: section in CoreVariables.cfg vs the StaminaPerAction: section in ObjPrototypes.cfg

In the Realistic Movement speed mod by Rykane it Says "Reduced Sprint Stamina Usage by 10% (From 5.25 to 4.725)" which is done in the ObjPrototypes.cfg

Meanwhile

In the Longer Sprinting mod by NickMillion it says "Reduced Sprint Stamina Cost by 75% (from -1.4 to -1.05)" ((Which is actually incorrect and is 25% reduced cost and there 25% reduced cost version is actually the 75% reduced cost))
But anyways this is done in CoreVariables.cfg

So my question is which one is the correct one to edit, if I do both will it stack, does it affect stamina cost in different ways?

[gaunt lotus]

There are audio files hooked up to Anomaly_BurnFuzz so im guessing its in there

[bitter sluice]

Not currently but someone did make a breakthrough with spawning custom containers earlier. I would expect it soon

[gaunt lotus]

Anomaly_Breach could be a Fracture?

[sterile axle]

bro is there a singular mod that makes it to where people are less spongey? i should not be hitting a guy in the head with NO helmet 4 times with 5.56 and hes not going down

[vital coyote]

yeah a few on nexus

[gaunt lotus]

someone made a human health reduction mod

[vital coyote]

also the headshot one

[summer adder]

Maklane's Zone Overhaul is my go to

[sterile axle]

yeah that comes w a bunch of other shit idgaf about

unless its modular

[gaunt lotus]

the "Flying Paint" anomaly seems to be the one that just slows you down and fogs your brain, dunno if it has any other effects

seems to be a really harmless one

[scarlet holly]

i mean

[vital coyote]

i dont mind the human damage but alot of pple seam they are too chonky, one ap upgrade for like 4000 fixes it

[scarlet holly]

it seems to read pretty clearly that one is the cost of doing an action

and the other is how quickly you regenerate

they both do different things

left one is a switch and changes depending on the action, right one is preset values that don't change

[sterile axle]

i dumped 100 rounds of AP 5.56 into an exo's head and he is just Fine.

that shit would not happen in gamma

[gaunt lotus]

which gun, they have different Pen values

[summer adder]

thats what I thought, but the author of that mod says it reduces stamina costs, on top of their math being wrong

Just making sure Im actually correct about this

[sterile axle]

Clusterfuck

[quick parcel]

whats the best mod merger atm? ive got a bunch of .pak files extracted from some mods and am looking to create my own merge if possible

[vital coyote]

well i mean its not gamma lol but i also havent fought exos yet

[scarlet holly]

i think you're on it tbh

author is a silly goose

[gaunt lotus]

Pen of only 2, RIP.

[sterile axle]

wtf

its a fucking sniper

[gaunt lotus]

Might need 7.62x54 or the tier 3 ARs

[lean oar]

It really, like really depends on penetration value, for example you can two tap or even one shot with good weapons

[gaunt lotus]

its a midgame AR larping as a sniper unfortunately

[sterile axle]

yea but im shooting guys without helmets and theyre tanking 3-4 headshots

like what the fuck is that

[gaunt lotus]

the Dnipro and Grom ARs have a pen value around 3, so will hit significantly harder

[scarlet holly]

this before and after lighting is so crazy though

i still can't believe how much better it looks

[topaz cape]

really wish they hadn't gone the weird videogamey route and went for realistic ballistics instead

[gaunt lotus]

how far away are you?

[sterile axle]

i shit u not 50 m

i just measured

[dire edge]

Are you using AP ammo?

[sterile axle]

no but thats besides the point he has no fucking HELMET

[gaunt lotus]

I'd need to check the actual stats, but I think the Cluster only has like 2 bars worth of range

[sterile axle]

THERE IS NO ARMOR

[gaunt lotus]

so a Bandit?

[sterile axle]

ward

no helmet tho

[gaunt lotus]

huh

[dire edge]

Maybe the body armor is transferring to the head armor?

[sterile axle]

literally

[lean oar]

That would be my guess that visual armour doesn't necessarily translate to actual armour statistics

[gaunt lotus]

He's got that magical hoodie of IIIa armor

get a pic of the dude

[radiant ledge]

@scarlet holly dude... r.Lumen.ScreenProbeGather.DirectLighting 1 is insane, I get that it just turns on GI calculations for dynamic lights but like...why was it off? It looks soooooo goood. Holy moly

[sterile axle]

all took multiple headshots from 50 m away

[gaunt lotus]

I usually dont see that many people without a helmet for Ward, unless they are special

[scarlet holly]

it looks ridiculously good lmao

there's definitely ghosting, but i'm trying to figure it out

it costs 0 fps dude

actually nuts

[radiant ledge]

ghosting? With what?

[scarlet holly]

walk around with a flashlight lol

[gaunt lotus]

Watch it turn out that suppressors absolutely wreck your range stat so you're dealing 40% damage on an already low damage rifle

[radiant ledge]

I run RR so maybe it just negates it, but didn't notice so far but lemme check

[vital coyote]

omg "r.Lumen.ScreenProbeGather.DirectLighting 1" has my shit looken like i took some bad acid

hard to convay in a screen shot

[radiant ledge]

yeah, I actually turned my flashlight and...it's not a cone of light anymiore for me, it's a dome around my character

[gaunt lotus]

put away the detector, stalker. wrong kind of artifacts

[mighty compass]

@radiant ledge im trying rr with qmqz tweak ini and holy barely seen a fps drop and it look so good

[scarlet holly]

even better than what they gave us!

huge improvements all around!

r.Lumen.ScreenProbeGather.DirectLighting=1

this helps a lot and 0 fps loss

[vital coyote]

yeah dude i am now a fucking christmas tree, its not even thanks giving yet

[radiant ledge]

okay but it doesn't wanna be friends with my flashlight and ray reconstruction, though

[vital coyote]

yeah kinda know why they turned the shadows off now, they look hella gross

[lean oar]

Fallout looking flashlight

[vital coyote]

outside its fine but indoors blehh

[vital coyote]

for real xD

[scarlet holly]

to be fair

if we pair it with a flashlight light REDUCING mod...

we're cookin

[vital coyote]

i mean you can tone down the intensity

[lean oar]

Lol, I wish the flashlight were stronger, feels like I'm using one of those old bicycle flashlights

[radiant ledge]

I don't think it's that. It's the GI taking flashlight into account for calcs which fucks with it. Because camera is the light caster...

so now it just fills the scene with light

[scarlet holly]

i'm sure it goes off of intensity though

probably angle

[radiant ledge]

lemme try

[vital coyote]

there is a mod for that 🙂

bright night out rn

i have mine set not to extream but you can crank it up

[lean oar]

Ooh, good, i shall look it up when I'm back from work and gamin

[scarlet holly]

[viscid socket]

My daily after work routine

I sometimes install some
I go artifact hunting

[vital coyote]
