For a while, depends on the caliber of bullet I think

[oblique lily]

[open rover]

This would be really cool actually. Might make a quick texture in photoshop and throw it in there see how it goes.

[harsh fiber]

unfortunately I have no skills for that haha

[vagrant heart]

anything that is above and is 5.45 i think can blow the head

@lunar craneHi I didn't know where else to reach out but I downloaded your summer redux before it was taken down, and I didn't get a chance to enter the console commands in the description before the page was removed. Do you still have those commands and can you tell me what they are? Sorry for any inconvenience.

[crisp kelp]

i hope he's okey

holy reshade batman!

[delicate sapphire]

Yes what reshade?

It looks great

[lime gulch]

Some of my own settings. LUTs and Screen Space Shaders

[delicate sapphire]

User ltx?

And whats lut?

[vagrant helm]

Is that cinematic vfx? Particles for the electro look nutty

[lime gulch]

All of these were taken from Expedition 2.2.1, also I installed Screen Space Shaders. I haven't adjusted everything yet, so can't say what exactly create this picture.

[vagrant helm]

Might pull the particles outta that pack to throw on my game, they look quite good

[delicate sapphire]

U just installed expedition reshade?

[delicate sapphire]

Sorry for all these questions could I DM you?

[lucid geyser]

bro, H + (end)

[willow pulsar]

Pardon me Fabio, do you have a main page somewhere for summer redux or any other weather type that you made?

[warm blade]

how do i make my game look as good as these screenshots?

[lucid geyser]

reshades n dat

[warm blade]

with all te current mods do i have to download reshade still?

[pseudo elm]

How do I see my stats

[lucid geyser]

if the reshades are reshades are anything else than what is already in MO02, then yes

you have to download the other reshades

[molten tide]

yo what mods are you using???

srsly. What graphics mods are you usinmg?

we must have it

[lone raft]

I must know

[heady phoenix]

Hippo's Atmospherics + Volumetric Lights

[strange finch]

Im currently revamping the rainy/stormy weather types but it wont be ready till tomorrow

[heady phoenix]

I'll wait for it

It's amazing what good shaders and weather configs can do on such an old engine
Fantastic jobs you and Jaku have done till now
I know for sure that it will only improve

How about making the heavy stormy weather more "raw", "visceral" if you know what i mean, It's hard to describe in words.
i would love to see this type of weather be more aggressive, something for we to say "Fuck!"
In every sense of the word

[strange finch]

Thats exactly what I want to do

[heady phoenix]

I think we understand each other more than we think
I'll wait for it eagerly

[strange finch]

I just need to change the textures for it

as both stormy weathers currently use the same sky textures

once thats changed it will be completely different

So I need to get more white ambient light like in those screens I posted above for rainy weather

then the rest is a surprise

[hybrid basin]

Hi everyone, were do you find the screenshots that you take in game?

It's modded expedition

[soft tide]

been messing with my lighting settings on hippo with tfaa on. some gpu setting stuff too. coming along pretty good.

also I use autumn redux the red green yellow preset

[wheat oasis]

i neeeeddddd that reshade + graphics mod

[karmic lynx]

Hi! I saw your work on youtube and I found it amazing! So I was wondering if the addons were compatible with Stalker anomaly GAMMA? sorry if this is a silly question but I just started in stalker anomaly recently

[lunar crane]

Yes, compatible, but the topic of screenshots is not the right place to discuss this. Go to the discussions of Autumn Season Redux in Costum-textures. I'll explain everything there

[karmic lynx]

okay thx

[zenith shadow]

Dumb question but which canted sight is that

[jolly flicker]

polish schools

welcome to poland

[crisp kelp]

gotta love the ragdolls

[jolly flicker]

gotta love the graphics

[jolly flicker]

without reshade

with reshade

bit more adjusments

[jolly flicker]

the only bad thing about this is the grass

[lunar crane]

Yes, I see it's terrible.

[jolly flicker]

u could increase the density of the grass so it covers all of the ground and

change the colour of the grass using reshade

[lunar crane]

Why Reshade? I can change it in photoshop. it's w.i.p

[jolly flicker]

this is much better. why reshade? dont know thought u playing like that

but this

at the corner

increase your render grass distance

will look better

[knotty pivot]

Fabio Conte's Golden Autumn retexture, my fav so far

[knotty pivot]

these look nice, is this your updated summer season?

also keep up the good work

[lunar crane]

Not yet, now I'm running around the locations to see what and how everything is. Then I will make a decision where what needs to be changed, for example, grass on the garbage.

[knotty pivot]

awesome!

[dark brook]

Did you tweak the fog shaders somehow ?

[strange finch]

I just tweaked them through atmospherics to work with my ltx files

so weather config for each relevant weather type

[dark brook]

? Which value did you change in your weather configs to affect the fog shaders ?

[strange finch]

fog color and sky color go hand in hand

[dark brook]

In the gamma weathers I hardly see any fog

[strange finch]

also fog density

[dark brook]

Hum ok I will try them out thanks

[strange finch]

let me look at the gamma weather configs for a sec

[strange finch]

fog color is really high in gamma so you should see the new fog shaders working

and sky color looks right

looking at 11:00 for gamma's foggy1

sun color is low though

sun color affects the fog for the new fog shaders

[dark brook]

Ah let me see

[crimson dune]

@lunar crane hey what reshade and texture mod are you using, i want to try it 🙂

[lunar crane]

working title Summer Redux, the link can be found in the section custom-textures. Reshade from Expedition. But usually i'm using Aggressor

[dark brook]

How does it look like for you ?

[strange finch]

gamma's fog or atmospherics?

[dark brook]

Gamma weathers

[strange finch]

give me one sec to boot it up

[dark brook]

I’ll take some of your atmospherics ones btw

[strange finch]

any location you want me to test?

[dark brook]

Dead city south east corner

[strange finch]

thats fine just keep in mind it will look like shit without the ltx files so its best to make your own if you dont want to use them

Foggy1 Gamma + grading warm

Foggy1 Atmospherics + HippoS

Foggy2 + above config

Rainy2 + above config

all the relevant details @dark brook

For Foggy at 11:00

You can emulate this with grading_warm or get close to it but you would have to up the values for fog color by 0.2 across the board

I have to decrease fog color with my ltx files or the trees will clip through fog horribily

Fabio posted an example of how bad that would look found here

#╟📸screenshots message

ahh coolll, thank you so much man

btw

how do i find the aggressor reshade ??

[lunar crane]

Moddb has it

[crimson dune]

okk thank you so much!

[restive terrace]

Does anyone knows how to fix it?

[mossy mulch]

sneaky boi not so sneaky

[twin cedar]

I am new to stalker. Using GAMMA with the 358 mods included and standard reshade. Everything maxed out, except grass. 3440x1440. Scenary looks good but I am not so sure about guns. Could it look better with other addons maybe? What do you think?

[warm sierra]

#🔨base-gamma-support

[sinful iris]

What's your AO setting in advanced graphics settings?

[twin cedar]

SSAO? HDAO/High

[compact wedge]

it's up to the model/textures itself

remember that gamma has different weapon packs, which vary in quality

[sinful iris]

That's your problem. Set it to SSDO. HDAO/HBAO are basically busted at this point.

[soft tide]

I'll check I think its like mepro 2 or something lie that

[strange finch]

looks great

[carmine scaffold]

Always amazing 😭

[pale falcon]

For those interested I'm running GTR + Majestic Weatherfx + Aydin's (Trees) Tweaks + SSS 13.2 and Jaku's beta 7 I use Gamma's original reshade + smartsharp 🙂

[twin cedar]

Thank you! That fixed it. The shotgun still looks not very well, but probably due to Lauta_ro mentioned. But the rest of the world looks much better now with SSDO.

It looks nice but anti aliasing won't actually help with the jagged trees. Any suggestions?

[sinful iris]

use a texture pack that adds foilage/leaves

[unkempt sage]

Kind of figured. Oh well. I still think INVERNO is really nice though

[fallen osprey]

GAMMA?

[lunar crane]

Summer redux, EFP

[fallen osprey]

LAST SSS?

[lunar crane]

yeah 13.2

[fallen osprey]

Did you install it yourself or was it already in GAMMA?

[lunar crane]

installed by myself

[fallen osprey]

so you have your own assembly or GAMMA !?

[lunar crane]

I wrote above, I use EFP 4.0. I installed shaders version 13.2 by myself.

[lapis linden]

@fallen osprey you can turn off gamma shaders and its dead textures and put sss with fog and other weather on top

[fallen osprey]

then the DOF of the weapon will deteriorate.

[lapis linden]

I don't usually dof sss, if i need dof for screenshots i use reshade

[dark brook]

@lunar crane @strange finch Got the new fog to work, started changing all the weathers but I honestly don't have time to check everything considering all the balances and fixes I need to make in #📎to-do .... 😦
I worked on optimised graphics parameters with reduced world distance. The idea is to have the new fog making it look nice, to also make sniping a bit harder (since long range scopes are too strong currently imo, I'm taking other measures like a baseline handshake the heavier the gun is)
Maybe you guys could come up with nice weathers that are doing this ?

[lunar crane]

I'm ready to share mine. But I have different weather cycles on each addon. All these weathers are modified Majestic, Roadside, Aggressor, Abnormal Weather, etc. Use what fits

[jolly flicker]

fuck everytime i look in this section of the server i get jealous of some peoples game looks and then i try to make my game look like theirs

[jolly flicker]

whats the name of the sniper rilfe you have?

is it a custom mod or is it already in gamma?

[spark fractal]

Bro you are making me want to get expedition

[jolly flicker]

thats expedition?

[compact wedge]

doesn't seem to be 'vanilla' expedition

probably heavy modifeid

[dark brook]

It’s most likely heavily modded

[jolly flicker]

man if gamma had like a graphic update

[polar agate]

What you lookin at you тupoy exos?

[lime gulch]

Not that heavily. Just installed Enhanced Shaders+ Screen Space Shaders+ some Reshade edits. That's all

[jolly flicker]

but you still using gamma?

[lime gulch]

No, it's Expedition. I'll try to do something like this with gamma, maybe later

[strange finch]

But the heavy bloom is still there?

If you can tone down the bloom to be more manageable than your other screens then that would be great

#╟📸screenshots message because this amount of bloom is a bit much

[polar agate]

I agree @strange finch heavy bloom with foggy ambient would bleed eyes

[lime gulch]

Last settings don't have that amount of bloom

[strange finch]

let me see you look towards the sun in your next screens or facing it. I’m curious because your screens look good

[strange finch]

Lol

[strange finch]

Much better

[lime gulch]

Ice shader is also cool thing btw

[strange finch]

I’ll take a look to see what i can do but i think fabios got you covered

[strange finch]

[heady thunder]

👀

[scenic shell]

[sinful iris]

There are ways you can basically just overlap foilage textures ontop of another texture set and effectively use both. The issue is that bare trees with a multitude of bare/fine branches alias badly unless one is using MSAA at 8x (which is hideous performance-cost wise).

the hit on hip

[deep ridge]

Really makes me wish someone'd make standalone expedition shaders set so you didn't have to pull the whole thing via EXT system

I've been seeing these and really love the visual setup

[lime gulch]

Just install Enhanced Shaders+Screen Space Shaders and edit them. You'll get similar result

[lunar crane]

Yes, it’s Autumn desaturated

[deep ridge]

I ain't smart as Jaku or the folks who worked on expedition, otherwise I'd be editing already.

Would be sweet as hell to just have them as a simple drop-in install like Jaku's is what I am saying though 😛

(partially because mediafire is trash on DL speed, so I have to wait until weekend to grab Expedition to try out the EXT method)

[lime gulch]

You don't need some special skills, just read carefully the description, every shader setting file has hints left by its creator. So you can spend an hour to look through and never bother yourself with this question)

[deep ridge]

Ehhh, to be honest it's easier to say than actually do. I want essentially a similar set up to Expedition with better dynamic lighting (that's my jam for the most part) and that's the big thing that I don't know how I would replicate with say just editing Jaku's setup

Like the way the weather works in that is just, mm, beautiful stuff.

(though I presume it's also edited)

[strange finch]

Is the gun supposed to be that glossy?

[lime gulch]

Yes. Since my shaders stopped working, I have to use "vanilla" Expedition shaders again

[strange finch]

Why did they stop working?

[lime gulch]

If I only knew. The game started crushing after changing locations, without any logs. I tried to change video settings, and the game even stopped launching

Deleting user.ltx and shader cache had no effect. So the only solution was deleting shaders

[lunar crane]

This is the end😂

Eh it’s not night yet here

But otherwise I’m getting better overall

[strange finch]

I'm glad you're getting better

[dark brook]

I want to get rid of that cough mostly

And I want a complete blood test check up

[strange finch]

Yeah hate that, worst feeling for me is having a sore throat while trying to sleep. Last time was when I had covid.

[dark brook]

Because that’s not normal that I’m sick since once month now

[fallow star]

ok thx

[clever badger]

gonna play around with bloom stuff next but its hard to get right for most scenarios, might look good on one map and on another completely shit with the same weather

[strange finch]

Yeah I havent touched bloom at all, on one scene it would look good but in another scene its overpowering

[clever badger]

i just want the lightbleed of it basically, ive tried rtgi but for like 50 fps less i get slightly different colors

not worth it imo

[strange finch]

Oh wait for the new SSS update

The AO is getting faster so as a result the light bleed option from SSS should get enabled

[clever badger]

yea i saw it a couple days ago, i shouldnt complain about fps anyways im still around 100 even with rtgi and all the eye candy

[knotty pivot]

this game looks way better than it should

[flint sparrow]

how you all make the screenshots? i press F12 but no image appears in my screenshot folder and if it does then its all black i play in VSR 3200x1800p my native is 2560x1440p

[warm sierra]

!screen

[humble pasture]

We can't really see the problem if you take a picture with your cellphone. If you have a problem you want to share with us, you can do the following, since we don't care about your second monitor or your desktop image:

1. Press F12 in-game, look in Anomaly\appdata\screenshots. If it's not there, look in your GAMMA RC3 folder, inside a folder called overwrite
2. Press PRTSC (Print Screen on your keyboard) open Paint, CTLR + V to paste the pic, save it, send it
3. Windows key + Shift + S, which let you choose what part of the screen you want to copy, it will directly copy the pic for you.

[knotty pivot]

I had the same issue so I manually changed the path for screenshots in reshade's settings. I've set it to appdata/screenshots. The default folder for screenshots was set incorrectly. You also gotta use print screen instead of f12.

[crimson dune]

Hey can someone help me, wanted to use agressor reshade but when i finish the tutorial my game just went like this --"

All blacked out

[polar agate]

your shades are broken

set the delete shader cache option on and try to launch with MO2

if it doesn't work reshade it

[crimson dune]

i see...

[polar agate]

if its still

black screen like this

then open the console

and write this

cfg_load grading_warm

it should work

How did you made your game look like that and how is the performance?

[severe quarry]

Im running expedition through gamma, unchecked gamma weathers and havent had any issues minus the rare crash youd get

[lime gulch]

My 1650ti doesn't really like it, 25 fps with all shaders enabled

[lime gulch]

I suppose my shader crashes are caused by unzipping modpack with Winrar, not 7Z. So the game became unplayable after 2 hours

[severe quarry]

Im doing everything i can to make my game look like yours lol im also running a 1650

[lime gulch]

Maybe I'll drop all my settings here later, but I want to adjust it to as good condition as possible

[severe quarry]

Ill be keeping an eye out! And yeah its hard to keep your frames over 30 my biggest issue is the grass

[lime gulch]

Idk what exactly eats my FPS in Expedition, I have stable 60 in EFP with almost max grass density. I also tried Reality, which was freezing and lagging despite grass removal

[knotty pivot]

Isn't 1650 basically a 1050ti but twice more powerful?

[lime gulch]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[clever badger]

Yes

Its basically a shrunk down budget 2060

[thin ocean]

The 2060 is substantially faster, specs aren't really close

1650 is like 25-40% faster than the 1050ti depending on what you're doing

[echo flame]

what is this

where I can get this?

where can i get this?

[crisp kelp]

there are 2 chimeras and 1 pseudogiant behind one of those buildings on the right

[clever badger]

yes

but if i cant see them, it is peaceful

[strange finch]

Its ok, appreciate you waltah

10 fps simulator?

[strange finch]

More fps than base gamma. So actually saves you fps.

[tropic halo]

Even though it's dangerous, sometimes the zone is really beautiful

And miserable at the same time

[hoary mantle]

Badass

[limpid tangle]

[lapis linden]

Is it better to use a pistol instead of bolts?

[clever badger]

what did he mean by this

[knotty pivot]

Beautiful

[lapis linden]

I wanted to joke when they make screenshots with a detector and a gun near the anomaly

[jolly flicker]

best shaders to use?

[cosmic parrot]

ik its a joke but unironically other than if theres an anomaly blocking the path to an artifact you can usually just shoot the artifact to move it to a safe spot

[open citrus]

lookin really good, what shaders/textures you using?

[wooden ermine]

textures are autumn season redux (with the leafy trees option), aydins grass tweaks, hippo atmospherics weathers, and the shader setting is a bit of a mash up between hippofilm, and my bonezone preset.

all the credit needs to go to hippos weathers and atmospherics though, this is the best the game has ever looked for me

[acoustic swallow]

Guessing that's using the mods in the mod pack?

[wooden ermine]

yeah the skies and weathers, but no reshade and i have a custom .ltx too (but these screens are heavily based on hippos ltx - basically ill ive changed is some gamma, brightness, and contrast)

[acoustic swallow]

Does it rain/snow in this game does the snow settle

[wooden ermine]

there are rain cycles by default yes but you need a specific mod for snow

[acoustic swallow]

ah i would love snow any ideas

[wooden ermine]

have a look in #custom-textures im sure youll find something

[earnest nebula]

where can you find that gun?

[grizzled heath]

not quite sure but this is the shotgun version of that gun it looks like the honey badger from the new mw2 lol, my guess is Monolith or Mercenary?

[thin ocean]

What's the most photogenic gun in gamma?

[jovial cedar]

F2000 bien évidemment

[crisp kelp]

the AR15 hera

[warm sierra]

ak47 or akm

[south jungle]

Hippo Atmospherics in work

[strange finch]

I’m glad everyone is liking atmospherics and the ltx files

[strange finch]

Great first screen!

[sturdy loom]

Among us

[crisp kelp]

the new magpull

[clever badger]

i have entered chernobyl

[warm sierra]

the skies are indeed clear

[subtle dirge]

I missed daylight

[kind mulch]

this really is the hardest lookin portrait in the game huh

[lofty quarry]

Howdy guys in your opinion this is real looking night? its 00:00 ingame. I mean sky not to bright for this time?
thats from weather mod

[kind mulch]

for absolute realism, on a night with no moonlight, then it should prob be a bit darker but i think its fine

just kind of assuming theres moonlight above the clouds

[lofty quarry]

i think moon for this bright need to be extra shine

[slow fable]

Well shit...

[clever badger]

in today's challenge, can you spot the monolithian?

[slow fable]

And how am i supposed to get that artefact?

[clever badger]

try shooting it out

use cheap ammo tho

[slow fable]

done it, still don't move. he flew after i triggered anomaly :^

[clever badger]

damn

[slow fable]

last time before that, it just gone from the map entirely

now it's just a funny looking artefact trolling me

[clever badger]

mhmmm, maybe try a grenade?

[slow fable]

i think i'll just gonna blow myself :d

uhhh demo_record again then

[slow fable]

even a bloodsucker has a light skin stare

[strange finch]

newest screen space update correct?

[primal glacier]

Nope, its current vanilla GAMMA, just changed to simple autumn retexture with leaves variant 😄

[strange finch]

Very nice, looks good

[primal glacier]

Yeah, I'm amazed that vanilla GAMMA is looking that good!

[strange finch]

It has its moments for sure

[silver belfry]

looks absolutely stunning

it's crazy to think that this mod is based on a 13 years old game

[sleek sky]

Travelled to the swamps today, it's too late to return to the Rookie Village, I hate getting wet while sleeping.

[ember scaffold]

wow

[clever badger]

thats how fractures are made

[rancid vale]

[severe quarry]

Made my main stash there ❤

[rancid vale]

its a good vista!

[fair wadi]

Love this game 💜

[severe quarry]

Hippo is goated

caved and followed his install guide, I like this look a lot!

[strange finch]

its getting better in the next update, less dark guns while having deeper shadows and less blinding lights

[knotty pivot]

Even more so if you consider the fact this engine was developed in like 2002 and the game was supposed to come out initially in 2004 or somewhere in this timeframe

Anyone know how to suppress my knife?

[clever badger]

big oof, I cant stand to play under 60

[clever badger]

Finally giving it a try but its kinda as I said and its also really bothersome being sent to the different pages then needing forever to scroll up.

I downloaded both but it also said you have to download the Addons for Expeditions yourself but no clue where to find them, rip

A proper step-by-step guide would be nice, so far at least to me its a mess cause the introductions are all over and rather unclear.

[dark brook]

A bit too blue perhaps ?

[strange finch]

Ive been messing with the ltx shader param and lumscale values to great effect

foggy1 is colder foggy2 is warmer

[dark brook]

What I can do is, send me your pack of files, I’ll review each time of each weather and provide feedback. Then add the whole thing to gamma officially

[strange finch]

Will do

[dark brook]

I feel I need to outsource the weathers and graphics stuff or I will simply become mad

I should add you to the team with Jaku even

[strange finch]

Ive been focusing on evening out the lighting while making sure guns dont get too dark in shadows

[strange finch]

lol

[strange finch]

I'll send you the files whenever you feel better and add the new exes and SSS 13.2 to gamma

or SSS 13.3, which ever comes out first

or do you want me to do that before then so you can utilize the new fog on the update?

[warm sierra]

need more underground pics

[dark brook]

Yeah that’s the idea

The new fog doesn’t require the new exes though

[brave blade]

tarkov inspired?

looks like it is a bit

[spark fractal]

Just managed to capture some lightning but now you mention it, it kinda does

[brave blade]

the pistol and the position looks like one of the dev screenshots fro 2016/2017

[brave blade]

this one

[spark fractal]

That is similar, whoever did the animations took some inspo for sure

[brave blade]

yeah tarkov had a big influence on he whole stalker theme tbh

[crisp kelp]

[spark fractal]

The other way around but I get you what you mean

[fair wadi]

what a foggy weather today. also hat some very nice music while walking around .. 5mins later i got killed by the emission, lol.

[thin ocean]

Anomaly modders are kinda obsessed with Tarkov

[sacred stag]

True

[hollow dirge]

pog

[brave blade]

yeah stalker was an inspiration for tarkov but then the tarkov ideas and stuff moved to mods for stalker and stalker anomaly shit

[spark fractal]

Ohhh yeah right im with you, definately and im glad it has as Ive not been this addicted to a mod ever

[brave blade]

i think implementing the whole of tarkov map and making the in betweens is possible in stalker

mby will be fun to try who knows

[modern forge]

any one knows how to fix the jagged trees ?
i tried AA but it doesnt really help

[severe quarry]

Follow hippos guide on his youtube channel! I followed his steps and the game looks so damn good now ill find the link and post it here

https://youtu.be/Y_exWieLpPk

[compact wedge]

dayz

[lavish mural]

I love this mode

[modern forge]

thank you

[severe quarry]

Yep, theres other ways to fix it ive heard, but this guide not only made my game look more realistic, it gave me about 10 fps more on average

[modern forge]

So this guide actually more performance friendly compared to out of the box gamma ?

[severe quarry]

Yes for sure. It may look better, but most of my stutter issues have been fixed, and i get a consistant 40-50 frames rather than the 28-40 frames i was getting with vanilla gamma

[modern forge]

No way

That’s awesome

With the reshade aswell?

[severe quarry]

Im pretty sure some of these things included in his guide will be in a future build of gamma, i may of read that part wrong tho
And yeah w reshade

[modern forge]

Thank you ill try it and let u know if it worked

[severe quarry]

I got slow internet but it took me about 30 minutes to get it all running with my potato brain. Im not fluent with reshade
If you have any issues dm me i can hopefully help🤣 guides pretty good tho

[compact wedge]

glosy

[strange finch]

you can fix this by changing fog color in relation to sky color and sun color

that way distant landscapes dont clip with fog

Stay in ya Shelters Boys 'n Girls!

[modern forge]

i did the thing but i lost fps and now my game stutters

it looks good, but stutters are bad

[south egret]

this kinda defeats the depressing atmosphere

[strange finch]

People have different tastes

[modern forge]

hey hippo i used your guide

it looks really awesome, but u think the result is more performance friendly comapred to out of the box gamma, or worse ?

[south egret]

what guide? might try it out

[modern forge]

https://youtu.be/Y_exWieLpPk

[severe quarry]

I noticed like i said a 10 fps increase, i thought it was due to the grass mod cause i can have grass density up pretty high without that much of a performance decrease

Did you install the grass mod (at work and cant remember the name)

[south egret]

theres a mod to make grass not laggy???

thx @modern forge

my landscapes are bald af bc I turned grass down

[severe quarry]

Idk if the grass makes me stutter or not, i just noticed a big difference after i installed the mod

iirc Groks working on the grass in a future patch too

[modern forge]

Btw how do u guys hide the hud for screenshots

Is there a command or hotkey?

[south egret]

is the grass mod in hippos shader thing?

[modern forge]

What’s your gpu ?

[south egret]

why is this video so damn quiet

[warm sierra]

just turn up your volume

[south egret]

I have big driver headphones and no amplifier so windows cant turn it up that high 😿

[frosty whale]

sigma monolith

[south egret]

do you know the secret of how monoliths identify each other?

[severe quarry]

Wait
Did you turn on the mod that says "turn on if you stutter" in MO2?

lmao

[modern forge]

[severe quarry]

Its nowhere near Vitolds but i am extremely happy with this

[strange finch]

similar scene just different textures and graphics settings Im guessing

[severe quarry]

i LIKE IT

You prolly have a beefy pc compared to mine

[strange finch]

I personally dont like extremely saturated colors so I go for an autumn look

[severe quarry]

Im all for saturated color but i may always change it down the road to a more apocalyptic vibe

[strange finch]

I think autumn is a nice in between

not too dead but not fortnite either

[severe quarry]

Lmfao true🤣🤣 i dont even play fortnite but i can see the resemblence lol

Ill play with the color and see how i like it

[strange finch]

Also whats your antistropic filtering setting at?

[severe quarry]

16

[strange finch]

ok good

[severe quarry]

Yeye i thought i had to lower it at first but i watched your video again🤣

[strange finch]

same area same weapons

[severe quarry]

I like that more actually the more i look at it

I thought i hated the dead trees look but i never gave them a chance after downloading the mods you linked

[strange finch]

forget the saturated look, go for autumn

👍

[severe quarry]

Ill do it tomorrow and send some screens

Ive been too obsessed with this game🤣

[signal mason]

Mmm.. Prettyyy

[signal mason]

NGL that looks really pretty, is that part of the mods list?

[carmine relic]

Where did you get that detector? I've been seeing it everywhere

[spark fractal]

3rd tier detector I believe

[knotty pivot]

These screenshots are so good, that sometimes I doubt if Stalker 2 can compete with these graphics

Anomaly just needs better quality of assets, primarily vegetation. I'm sure we can get those at some point

[crisp kelp]

i'm already using aydn's mod but with the summer grass maybe i should switch to autumn/tundra

[quartz cape]

What reshade?

[sharp pawn]

All Hail to THE KNOT aka LUCIFER!

The Ravens that are always with you and that you have to Sacrifice other Artifacts to Lucifer is so cool!

It feels like cheating with the powers it provides but it is dark and sinister you hear those fuckin voices that dude! i don't know but they got me! All Hail to the Knot Artifact!!!

[glacial willow]

How do you guys clear out the military camp in the swamps during last dawn?

like with early gear

feels impossible even with companions

[warm sierra]

snipping with armor piercing ammo or higher calibre ammo, weapon with a scope, campfire near cover for saving the game

i recommend to just ignore the quest until you get better gear

i dont think so

The brain scorcher disabled him.

Takes a bit to figure out but it's a lot of fun once you get the hang of it

[harsh sorrel]

@strange finch What kind of hardware are you running and what kind of fps are you getting out with those settings you are running in the screenshots?

[strange finch]

5900x, 3080

In this instance 90 fps at 1440p

Actually more like 85

[flint sparrow]

my hardware is almost equivalent to yours R9 5900x and RX 6800XT

[strange finch]

Yeah that is correct

[harsh sorrel]

Damn not bad im running i5 12600k and 3060 but I am so confused about setting my graphics settings up without my 3060 crying

[sharp pawn]

Question: Is that HD Character Mod (optional) for both me and npc models?

[sharp pawn]

looks washed out. i mean the third one is like blurry

[polar agate]

Yes, blur is good.

[jolly flicker]

what mod u used?

[jolly flicker]

and your in game settings

[polar agate]

What winter mod you using friend?

[lunar crane]

Project Inverno

[polar agate]

you re the life saver

[past hare]

How does your grass look so good at that performance? Running an i9-11900K/3080 Ti, when I crank up the grass settings my fps dies. Vanilla GAMMA install.
EDIT: Oh, right. Aydin's Grass Tweaks.

[severe quarry]

Go to #1035807043933720576 its his own mod

Plus some others as well

[sinful iris]

i wouldn't go below 0.3-0.4 density wise and max radius 180-200 should be enough for most people... truth is, dense grass looks cool for a bit but it's not even remotely necessary for actual gameplay and dialed back a bit is just fine

[strange finch]

Dm me the hour and weather so i can change it for the next update

[clever badger]

im not sure what weather it was as opening f7 accidentally changed the weather, it was 3:23 pm

[strange finch]

thats fine I can figure it out

[jolly flicker]

bascally what i did was on the second ss i changed the amount of screen space shaders was there and adjustet the colours

everything using reshade

[strange finch]

Nice, are you running my mod?

[jolly flicker]

well yes but i changed one thing from your setup
it was the actual weather mod
im using the majestic weather and GTR textures

and everything same as yours

[strange finch]

Very nice, just be careful as majestic weather uses a very high sun color which can get really bright

but it might work I haven't personally tested it

your screen looks good though

[jolly flicker]

yeah finally it does

yes i saw

the inside looks nice
