[raw arch]

That's Reshade.. You can have the time and ms on there.. Can also change colors and sizes

[fossil lily]

the font threw me off

but yeah nvm then ill stick to rtss

i need to uninstall nvidia app too lol

[raw arch]

Ye I think you can change that too.. But forgot how

Haven't touched GAMMA in ages myself

[fossil lily]

i know rtss its fine

super detailed stats too and better frame cap

but if i can help it, i just dont use an overlay tool

as good as the pc is, i much prefer a minimalist approach still

[raw arch]

Ye I stopped using them myself.. It's not a good thing to constantly look at numbers and not enjoy the game because you are 5fps less than "chad" so you gotta optimize again

[fossil lily]

tbf anomaly has an fps counter

r_stats or some shit

i just cant remember if its too much info on screen

[raw arch]

Tbh S2 felt really smooth on what Reshade said was 40fps without frame gen.. So I just disabled all counters and enjoyed the game..

[fossil lily]

and yea exactly people keep way too big of an eye on frames, i can understand if youre in the need of completely optimising just to have a playable exp but yeah idk

[raw arch]

So all in all it's best to just disable it

[fossil lily]

i used to be in that park

but dont need to stress atm, plus because i used to do it i can easily fix/diagnose my issues usually lol

im slowly goin through stalker 2 again now, made it my main singleplayer game atm

im not touching other games until i finish this save, besides maybe some Helldivers 2 on the weekend if i get around to it, since i havent played that yet

[raw arch]

One day you'll finish Anomaly.. One day..

[fossil lily]

yeah, im not super stressed about it if im being honest

i made S2 main game for now since i got it through game pass, and its the only thing im really playing from there atm

down the line ill buy it from gog probably since they have offline installers and patch selectors

[raw arch]

I'll hop back onto gaming eventually.. It's too hot to do anything really and this new CPU is making it even worse..

[fossil lily]

oh true?

what kind of cooler do you have?

[raw arch]

The idle alone is 20 degrees hotter than my old one..

No idea really.. It came as an "upgrade kit".. So I didn't choose it..

Gamdias Chione E4 360

But also, living in a barren dry country where summer hits 45+, it's not really fun to game no matter the hardware..

But this CPU adds a few degrees to my room

[fossil lily]

yeah arm sticking to the desk and everything

yeah my rooms noticeably hotter than other rooms in the house

and since im on a night shift schedule due to work, i have to keep my door closed usually, when outside is the same temp as my room it doesnt help much lol

we have HRV and that helps a bit but can only do so much

[raw arch]

On the 9th of December it hit 51°C where my dad lives.. And it's only a 3hr drive.. Was 42 here on that day..

[fossil lily]

god DAMN

[raw arch]

If only my country could make air conditioning affordable.. Damn I miss my old house.. Was a constant 16 in my room..

[fossil lily]

today is really cold because of a thunderstorm and high winds last night

but its 16 outside atm

most days atm are like 24-28 ish so still good

[raw arch]

Now I have 2 industrial floor fans blasting me and it barely helps..

[fossil lily]

i cant imagine living there man, i hate heat to this extent even id pass tf away in SA

[raw arch]

My girl is chilling in -3 rn.. Can't wait to leave this place..

[fossil lily]

where does she live?

[raw arch]

UK atm

[fossil lily]

canada type shit

damn

yeah true

uk winter still freezing

fuck their summer too, they arent set up for heat hahaha

last few years have been ass to them

[raw arch]

We have a thing here called Loadshedding where the government switch off our power for multiple hours in the day.. Now imagine this heat without any type of cooling and rotting food in the fridge that has no power..

Love this place

[fossil lily]

time to leave homie 😭

thats one thing im really glad with in terms of NZ

[raw arch]

Not even xD she started crying in 27 degrees like it was the hottest thing on the planet lmao.. That's just another Tuesday

[fossil lily]

where i live, and most places barely ever have any form of power cuts or any shut offs

[raw arch]

But next year seems very very positive for moving out of the country

[fossil lily]

27 degrees when youve never been brought up with heat feels terrible

[raw arch]

I guess yeah

[fossil lily]

plus their homes are also super insulated

no where near what you have to live with tho dont get me wrong lol

[raw arch]

Imagine that.. I've never heard of that technology.. She thought I was stupid for wearing warm winter clothes in my room

Because we don't have central heating or insulation

[fossil lily]

whats it like in winter for you

[raw arch]

Kinda damn cold.. Can reach up to -10 and because it's so dry here it's quite bone chilling..

[fossil lily]

yeah jesus

[raw arch]

Dry winter is disgusting

[fossil lily]

it gets cold in most places here in nz, 100% worse in the south

[raw arch]

Your throat and nose burns like a bitch

[fossil lily]

we have some places in the south that have snow all throughout the year, but not really towns etc

i can imagine

[raw arch]

Haven't seen snow in many years

[fossil lily]

where i live doesnt ever get snow lol

[raw arch]

We have it once a decade if we're lucky

[fossil lily]

this year it only dropped below 0 a handful of times

yeah ive seen snow once in my life

was snowing for a few hours when i was 11 or 12 icr

[raw arch]

Our winter was legit a week I'm not even lying.. After the first week of blankets and jackets I started sweating again..

Netherlands will be a billion times better.. Can't wait

[patent finch]

Ray-traced Global illumination

i have the one made by martysmod its like 5 bucks on patreon

[patent coyote]

Where does one acquire this? Is it part of Reshade or?

Ahhhhhh F

[patent finch]

yes but a paid shader

[patent coyote]

RIP

[patent finch]

😦

[patent coyote]

Lmao

Thanks anyway dab bro! 🤣

[patent finch]

older versions could maybe available for free and also i think there is other rtgi but free

[patent coyote]

I’ll have to look into it, it looks nice!

[patent finch]

thx man ! ill go dab been tweaking settings for like 3 hours lol

[patent coyote]

I feel it bro, I have literally spent like ~50 hours modding the game but I have never been further than Rostok on a single save! I’m about to rip a fatty bowl and get back on myself.

[patent finch]

[sudden merlin]

i hust watched a dog 1v2 a renegade AND a bloodsucker and WIN! like wtf zone!??

i didnt wanna get involved with bloodsucker bc fk renegade so after picking off a few i left one,bloodsucker knocked him out and then a dog came and sstarted fighting the bloodsucker...THEN the renegade got up and shot the dog and the dog started attacking him AND the bloodsucker and WON

[vapid mauve]

[patent coyote]

Are you walking too close to an Oblivion Gate?? xD

[warm sierra]

[topaz void]

By the way, I still don't understand how such weather happens, I've never seen anything like it in my life

Переводчик конечно хуйня

[lucid grotto]

It's Oblivion with guns obviously.

[patent coyote]

Looks beautiful! What density/size do you have your grass set to?

[hasty plover]

How’d you make your ground textures and puddles that big

[patent coyote]

Fucking mint! What are you rocking??

[acoustic tiger]

standard default settings, it needs to have rained enough to form puddles this big lol. The water builds up

and i have rotten life texture pack installed

[uneven storm]

C-consciousness grass needs to be a default part of Gamma

[serene light]

it's not C-con, it's Grass and Trees by PanceRide (moddb)

[uneven storm]

Oh! It looks pretty similar, I'll check it out

[serene light]

it's not, C-con is very uniform, this one has different grass textures for each zone

[uneven storm]

Sex. Downloading it now

Thanks for the rec

Whichever mod it is, grok needs to replace that dookie grass he shipped with this update

[serene light]

have another one

[gray panther]

I like where this is going

[meager spear]

This is a basic screenshot but I was proud of the game for looking like this at this moment, was very atmospheric (pun not intended), thanks to atmospherics and SSS devs as well as a bit of reshade

Ough it came out blurrier on discord but you get the overall point

[meager spear]

Sexy

[meager spear]

sexy, I am pleased with your tree branches

[solar acorn]

Since getting my settings fixed and all the AA and reshade issues I had, here are some Screenshots from the past couple of days.

Want to crank up more settings but not sure which ones lol

[calm crater]

What aa are you using? also damn i need to get better weapons, I feel like it takes me FOREVER to get out of the "beginning" of the game, im like 10 hours in and still only have my starter mosin, and like a 40% durability on all parts for a little toz

[solar acorn]

I used my pp19 for so long at the start tbh

I'm using nvidia for AA

[minor pelican]

yo like mfaa?

[solar acorn]

wut

fxaa on and antialiasing transparance on 2x supersample

[minor pelican]

ima try that!

[solar acorn]

oh and also the reshade I use has tfaa

[minor pelican]

I use tfaa but the motion on it is funky when using a laser or a scope

[solar acorn]

you need to add some other thing with it

think its called drvme or something

[minor pelican]

yeah I use quint dmv doesnt work anymore

tfaa is super nice tho

[solar acorn]

another one

it works fine for me

I can't check what its called rn

but some reshades configure it well

[minor pelican]

using bloom in thoes screen shots too?

[calm crater]

tfaa and the motion fix for me kills my fps, a solid 15 fps loss

also im not sure why but damn i only get like 60-72 fps on a damn 4080 at 4k playing this, I expected it to be more

[minor pelican]

worth the fps loss tbh but it makes your game feel weird

[calm crater]

no reshades at all except a slight filter for color to make it less orange

wish i could really use some of these reshade options and still have above 60

[fair pilot]

Go up in Rostock and farm quest till you get basic tool

[fair pilot]

What is your grass mod ?

[timber cobalt]

c con grass

[fair pilot]

Will try that tonight thx man

[calm crater]

im trying, all the quests are very hard for a damn 2 shot short toz with the most basic armor in the game lmao

[narrow juniper]

[patent coyote]

Idk why Discord compressed the hell out of my screenshots so bad. They look awful unless you open it in a browser -_-

That's when a blood stalker appears to steal your lunch money and your new shoes. Speaking from experience

[vestal orbit]

have u used grass shadows for this one?

[acoustic tiger]

stalker bros, how does someone hide the HUD

[verbal sundial]

num0?

[serene light]

not standard anomaly grass shadows, its all from SSS. no reshade, no anomaly aa/ao.

[vestal orbit]

Oh, thx. Good to know

Always in search of methods to make better photos

[warm sierra]

time_factor 0 also is a good photography tool

is there a way to rebind that? my keyboard doesn't have a numpad

I don't use Reshade

[shut gyro]

a new game, anyone know what is max lvl of those i can get?

[solar acorn]

I think for my next play through I'm gonna do a different season, currently on autumn and getting sick of orange lol

[solar acorn]

is this a console command? what does it do?

yes. stop time

damn, ccon

you are telling me a bandit hogged a qnvg

This is of course not gamma but still cool

Graphics can be increased if anything, I decreased it for testing

[azure whale]

The ugliest character texture I've ever seen.

[gaunt arrow]

howd you get grass like that

[weary creek]

It's Ccon grass

[gaunt arrow]

oh cool man thanks

Ahhh, thank u

Best cop in the zone.

[true cloud]

it looks so smooth

[narrow dagger]

I hope one day tree mods will have caught up to the level of grass mods

[gentle rapids]

Agreed

Also PRAISE THE SEEING GODS I can see again

[patent coyote]

Anyone know what causes my grass to be grainy like this??

[lucid grotto]

The lack of antialiasing perhaps

[patent coyote]

I have anti aliasing via Nvidia Panel and Reshade. I’m wondering if it’s a grass shadow issue but I have them turned off in game so idk.

I think someone would have to do them all from scratch using Speedtree or something? Would be amazing that.

For some reason sadly Medal doesn't screenshot Reshade which ive heavily used ingame, but only the main game, if anyone that cares for the raw game screenshots, then here.

[twin mantle]

i have a feeling that my grass doesnt really sync well with the ground textures, makes the grass look very patchy and poorly integrated. does this pic look odd to anyone of you?

im supposed to have the sss22 and just implemented CCON, perhaps my load order is whack?

perhaps it always looked this patchy?

[serene light]

did you change to the recommended grass settings for c-con?, you can lower the distance, but density and height are important for the look

[naive kiln]

CA

[timber swallow]

Use my ato 4 ground textures. They blend really well with c-con autumn/winter grass.

[weak thunder]

mine was like this when i first installed ccon, make sure you use the default settings he recommends:

r__detail_height 0.85
r__detail_radius 250```

honestly i'd up the density and just lower the radius too

was meant to ping @twin mantle

[short gazelle]

ok bro.

[naive kiln]

My favorite weather

[gentle rapids]

I need to give that a try, that looks really good

[meager spear]

sexiest zaton i ever seen is this what c con looks like

[acoustic tiger]

this fucking game, the controller forced the shotgun into my own mouth and blow myself, its too much

[meager spear]

I thought that was a cool mechanic but I heard they still do it even if you have no ammunition which is a bit silly

[wooden bane]

MM BABY I dont know if I can do anything really with these atm, but I GOT LUCKY!

atleast i think I did

[shy cape]

blyaa

[regal patio]

Image dump, since plenty of people all the time ask how someone managed to get a specific look. Here's mine. Mods used:
ATO 4 textures
Rotten Life Final textures (higher priority = below ATO4 in basic MO2 list, overwrites most of ATO4)
Vehicle Textures Redux
Weather Expansion for Atmospherics
C Consciousness Grass Overhaul, 4k Summer
C Consciousness Trees Overhaul
Emergent Zone 2, Jericho Preset
Navs 4K Definitive Masks (for the mask overlay)
Reshade: CAPA Reshade, with added adaptive Sharpen at 0.21 or so value, disabled the qUINT Regrade
SSS

I did use Reshade RTGI at first (switched between qUINT RTGI and iMMERSE RTGI) but the difference is minimal and it caused me issues with scopes (ghosting/double images inside scopes), it's not worth it in the long run. Game looks fine without.

[solar acorn]

What are your in game grass settings?

[gentle rapids]

The diddler has taken another victim. This is the 3rd one today.

[buoyant pumice]

its still look much better than before in your screenshots imo

[vagrant mural]

[fallen osprey]

what kind of weapon is this?

[short gazelle]

mp7

[vestal spruce]

The vibes are unmatched stalker

[regal patio]

I don't know the exact slider position ingame right now without checking, but in user.ltx, it's:
r__detail_density 0.2
r__detail_height 0.6
r__detail_radius 190

Though I'm not sure about that, since if density is from 0.1 to 1.0, then 0.2 sounds way to the left, and I got it about 3/4th to the right. At least that's the last position I remember.

seems discord is messing with the underscore

[patent coyote]

Oh shit! You made ATO?? Love your textures!!

[narrow dagger]

I'm merging Adega tree textures with alternative autumn trees as recommended. What should the priority be in MO2?

He's a fool if he thinks he can ever force me to do such a thing muahahaha

[strong flicker]

How do you guys make gifs or videos from the game? i had to film this with my phone xD

[hybrid gorge]

depends on system we are talking about here

[twin mantle]

Ok, is anyone else experienceing extremele blown out volumetric lighting? or is this normal, i think it looks quite ridiculus, I allso notice very clear grainy noise within the volumetric light, anyone managed to smoothen that out?

so damn grainy:

[fresh copper]

fighting with this myself

[acoustic tiger]

Scanner textures is the most crisp looking thing ever

[gaunt arrow]

where do you get that grass mod??

[twilit iris]

its c-conciousness grass overhaul

[gaunt arrow]

ohh thats the full name thanks man

[twilit iris]

search it in mods-posting section 🙂

[plush notch]

check your shaders if oyu have enabled film grain

[echo vigil]

Really good pictures! Thanks for the info. I will try to recreate that.

[twin mantle]

do you mean in the reshade menu? or another place?

[plush notch]

yeah

reshade

[patent finch]

yeah i really need to find how to turn that noise down too. i tired to mess with volumetric settings but its not really helping

even with that the game looks good but its annoying

[plush notch]

i can share my preset

[patent finch]

reshade ?

[plush notch]

yup

[patent finch]

your preset cancell the ingame noise ?

[plush notch]

not sure but you can see if it makes it better

there was some option i disabled as i prefered sharp look over the blurry one

try it

[gentle rapids]

Trying some new settings

[narrow juniper]

In sss settings

[serene light]

MCM-SSS-Shadows and light -> force volumetric -> uncheck, apply, reload your save

[shrewd summit]

I had to lower bloom alot as it was making stuff look off.

[shrewd summit]

Love the truly dark nights. As it should be. (Mostly)

[narrow juniper]

Same, the need of either a flashlight or nvg makes the nights actually tense

[narrow dagger]

eww what the hell is wrong with the outline of the trees? its not like that in game

[solar acorn]

Finally the game looks good for me!

[clever badger]

[lyric monolith]

Can you please share you shader setting, i`m struggling to understand how to configure ones myself. Your game looks astonoshing!

[tall salmon]

this looks awesome. can you please tell me how you set up the sss?

[narrow dagger]

looks fantastic! pretty similar to my setup

[solar acorn]

I have the latest SSS with Atmos, + Rotten life texture, ATO 4 texture, Vehicle redux, CCon grass, Weather expansion for Atmospherics, and Emergent zone lut pack

cfg_load from emergent zone lutpack

[lyric monolith]

Thank you!

Bcs i have a desaturated bloomy, thing...

[solar acorn]

I had problems with that at the very start too

new atmos and sss should fix it

[lyric monolith]

cant find a freaking link to emergent LUT...

[solar acorn]

EMERGENT ZONE in the mods sextion here

[sturdy dove]

Oh, goddamn-

[lyric monolith]

Load order as written?

emergent LUT being the last one

[solar acorn]

CCON LAST

and then rotten life

and then it doesnt matter I don't think

[devout fjord]

Getting Stalker 2 vibes here 👍

[rustic crow]

new gamma patch auto come with sss 22?

[gloomy trellis]

22.1

[robust flame]

bro think he can sneak in the skadoosk

[regal patio]

I haven't tried pure vanilla gamma :>

I run about 60–80 fps in most areas, sometimes I go down to 50, which to me is no issue. The biggest bog I noticed is Jupiter/Yanov Station area, where I get as low as 30 fps unless I look to the floor at times, but I heard that's this way for a lot of people since the area is somehow unoptimized.

Running on a 13th gen i7 13600k and an RTX 3060ti (2020 version without the LHR, but I think that makes 0 difference for gaming), 32 GB RAM

So for me, the game runs perfectly fine 95% of the time. No stutters either.

[patent coyote]

Random Screenshot to see if changing to .jpg fixed the compression issue with Discord

Make sure you sell any of the items from the mod to a vendor and let their inventory refresh before you uninstall or update or you might fuck up your save

i use Immerise AA, MFAA on control panel and i use spring trees instead

[peak wyvern]

i like how he sleeps now

[dreamy goblet]

I haven't even changed any graphics settings, gamma just looks so good now

[peak wyvern]

it took me a while to understand what was happening with the graphics, when i had to re-install after a corrupted file game

[rain scroll]

Welcome to the Red Forest Sin Diving Club guys

[acoustic echo]

love the new texture of the pso!

[versed mountain]

looks nice

[foggy brook]

Today was a shocking and sad day for me. Meet Genka. Genka was a good companion... always ready to lay his life on the line. Unfortunately, Sidorovich didn't think much of Genka. Sigh... I had to take Genka for a walk, to humanely put him down due to a Sidorovich contract. Peace Stalker.

Thank you, renegades.

[rustic crow]

does emergent zone 2 have a large effect on anyone else's pc can't manage to get above 55 fps in cordon normaly would be around 89-90 fps i9-9900k and 3080\

That is ridiculous!

[gentle rapids]

I know, I didn't know gamma simulated inflation

[patent coyote]

That is what we call, immersion. Be glad they weren't going for realism, the caliber would simultaneously get smaller too. xD

[gentle rapids]

Oh god yea. xD

Scary part is the thing costs more then my scar H

[patent coyote]

That thing does look pretty fucking nasty ngl, looks damn well kitted out too. But still, just shy of 1/2 a million is insanity.

[fossil lily]

what texture pack are you using here? or is this just base gamma and i havent used it in too long 😭

[sharp temple]

🥶

[tepid jetty]

Desktop shot

This game looks so good

[mint fractal]

yes?

[acoustic tiger]

Yesterdays adventure, just came into rostok to drop all my loot at the base

[acoustic echo]

Base Gamma, no reshades yet

[trail oracle]

he just wants to play

[drowsy lance]

Dont get me wrong, i love how the other game looks, but it cannot beat the atmospherics and lighting mods of GAMMA

[drowsy lance]

H key and numberpad enter and you can turn on/off your hud elements

Need some reviews guys, about my autumn setup

[acoustic tiger]

light effects yo

[stoic sorrel]

so, no head?

[clever badger]

It's time for the truth 😛

[narrow dagger]

Im finding the colors in my game to be a little too dull. I'm using ccon autumn grass and rotten life. Any console settings I can use to add a warm, autumn vibrancy?

or some cfg_load command presets?

[solar acorn]

looks good to me

you can go to graphic settings

and there is a button says basic light asettings

and adjust vibrance

[narrow dagger]

Thanks. It's crazy how much affect not just the weather but also time of day affects how it looks. The above pic has a warm color, now in game its sunny and bright

Thats what it looks like now, 1100

im constantly switching between, atmos_neutral, atmos_winter, ccona

cant settle on one

[solar acorn]

try atmos
++

that one is vibrant

[narrow dagger]

Which command is that?

[solar acorn]

its atmos reshade

[narrow dagger]

Ahh, I don’t think I have that preset. I only have reshade for AA. Too much of an FPS loss

[red hinge]

furnished my main stash in Rostok, need warmer/homier lighting but not sure what to use

[ocean sage]

managed to tweak the settings and Reshade a bit.. and holy shit this looks incredible

[narrow dagger]

Looks great! What trees are those?

[cosmic coral]

i was trying to get rid of the white filter and got this

im trying to go for a more realism look, like color grading and stuff

[gentle rapids]

game can look good tell out of the blue a chimera jumps from the grass asking "did you pray today"

[sturdy lark]

Lucky bastard

[narrow dagger]

What tree and grass season? And do you find shadows to be too dark sometimes?

[stray sparrow]

Huh nice

I need to find an rpk with the 75 rnd drum mag. Now that's more my style

[gentle rapids]

Same here

Also man ima get cursed by a witch or somethin

[sterile hedge]

trying out some stuff

[twin mantle]

fiddling with quint's RTGI and it looks insane. Still having lots of grainyness and flickering pixels allover the screen that didnt use to be there in the previous patch. hmmm

[gray falcon]

[tepid jetty]

Nice- you using reshade or how did you achieve this look man?

[lyric monolith]

Made my crib in the same place, great i dont need to pay rent XD

[dusky abyss]

twas a beautiful morning before Christmas eve ready for adventure, get out of the farm and proceed to be attacked by 3 boars and died 1000/10 would do it again

[craggy basalt]

Reminds me of SCUM

[craggy basalt]

Where are those flowers from?

[fiery pike]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1279805292472832101

[craggy basalt]

I use this pack

But I havent seen those flowers before

[fiery pike]

I didn't nothing with flora or smthn

[rigid axle]

Im gonna glaze.

IWP is some of the best STALKER gameplay ive seen, what a gem

[lyric monolith]

is your name trademarked? Btw do you own shares of Pixar? Why you having Guido as avatar? It is definitely copyrighted!!

[craggy basalt]

IWP + Call Of The Zone is, in my opinion, the best stalker mod ever created.

Imagine if it would get anomaly mod converts

[robust flame]

ah! so green

[acoustic tiger]

STALKER puddles are really something else huh

[short gazelle]

in terms of reshade? and for Lut i use emergent zone with algae, ccon, then basic gamma lighting

[sick hinge]

I really ran through 3 anomalies gathering samples for this guy and he thinks a fair reward is SEVEN cooking kits

[craggy basalt]

Hands down, best atmosphere in a video game.

[summer token]

Any ideas to help fix the pixelated/noisy fog? right in the center basically

not re-shade

[patent coyote]

What was it that got rid of that white filter? I don't like how washed out it makes everything

[dry dagger]

Use summer preset

[inland heath]

I do kind of like the winter version of Stalker, it actually looks good

[inland heath]

This is a good picture

[thin raven]

Holy hell how

[fiery pike]

DLAA not better than SMAA?

[ruby agate]

Valid

[ruby agate]

Using Inverno?

[short gazelle]

cfg_load grading_default, and Emergent Zone Algae preset

[short gazelle]

DLAA is really really easy to see, i hate that as i like a little bit of sharpness, smaa works well for me

[patent coyote]

Ahhhh that Emergent Zone must be the real kicker.

I seriously hate how no matter what weather, my game has a constant white haze over everything. -_-

[proud swift]

[robust flame]

nahh bro playin stalker 2

[short gazelle]

yeah, the cfg one fixed it, but the zone thing helped it so much

once dead city gets ccon

life will be complete

[narrow dagger]

I'm looking forward to Ccon Army Warehouses the most

[short gazelle]

that would be sick asf

[timber cobalt]

Bro is taking some air

[narrow dagger]

This doesnt look right. Right after a blowout, stops raining and sky clears, but the ground is super dark

Wasnt like this before the blowout. Any idea what might be causing this and how to fix?

[azure whale]

Made friends with a military man 😁

Now he is my friend for the rest of his life 😆

[craggy basalt]

Yes.

[craggy basalt]

...Is this stalker mobile?

[azure whale]

Regular stalker

Народная солянка 2016 ogsr

[craggy basalt]

Ooo

I thought those buttons are for mobile device gameplay hahaha

[azure whale]

Yes, it is running on a mobile phone, but it is not a crooked port, but a complete stalker.

[craggy basalt]

I respect trying Солянка thought. Thats one hell of a mod

[azure whale]

Солянка Not a difficult mod OP 2.2 is much more difficult

[stray sparrow]

It's not a decent one, but I'll take it

Eugh, just gotta find some of the shit to fix it

[weak moth]

I don't think this needs a comment. I love slav jank.

he seems pretty sus

[hardy rose]

rotten life textures, late fall trees, ccon grass winter, weather expansion, emergent zone lut granite 50%, reshade only with smaa, gamma/saturation/exposure 0.96/1.25/0.913

[mint fractal]

this is all the mods i added
always look at install instructions

the mains one are cc grass, EZ2, rotten, V tex redone, hd models (new game req)

[mint fractal]

how

[mint fractal]

how u got this

[mint fractal]

im mainly asking about the flowers they look great

[stark smelt]

thats just #1279805292472832101

[mint fractal]

that bloom looks good only when theres a campfie outside with no other lights
if i walk into a faction base at night the multiple headlamps make it look like shit

[mint fractal]

not summer i guess?

[stark smelt]

that's one of the autumn variations

[mint fractal]

boi you about to make me reinstall

[mint fractal]

The flowers arent worth the yellow grass
i wish summer grass had many fkowers

[acoustic tiger]

is improved gestures tool only for the player itself or also used by NPCs for better animations?

[mint fractal]

it's mainly a screenshot mod for me
i sit by the fire and take a a pic kinda mod

[acoustic tiger]

okay, cool. no other game comes close to the stalker ambience to do things like that

[mint fractal]

like i said graphics wise the main ones are cc grass, EZ2, rotten, V tex redone, hd models (new game req) oh and reworked vanilla trees for good leaves and wood

i dont remember if all can be found on this server tho

[acoustic tiger]

that was the other guy asking questions around your mod list, im already happy with mine, else i go down the spiral again of downloading and tweaking for 2+ days

[mint fractal]

oh xD

it was a while ago
i was in bed on my phone when he sent that

[mellow bay]

my best reshade so far 🤍

Had to share this.

What are your paralax settings for this? This looks awesome with the deep colors.

how do i get rid of this moiré grid effect its very disorientating

[ocean sage]

reshade + summer CCON makes wonders man

[hasty coyote]

🙏

[hardy rose]

far cry 5 vibe

[stray sparrow]

Do y'all think GAMMA should make nights less blue and more...black? Vanilla Anomaly nights vs GAMMA nights in the same place

[raw arch]

Guess it's personal preference.. Blue skies comes directly from moonlight reflecting off clouds irl.. Real life looks blue as well

[stray sparrow]

I prefer vanilla anomaly's blacker nights. It makes going out night more creepier

[raw arch]

If there's pollution then you'll get black or orange nights.. But obviously Chernobyl is inactive so the skies are technically clean

True.. It can stay blue but just darker..

[dire needle]

Overall, nights are too bright, and you don’t even need to use flashlights or NVGs, which is weird since you’re in a place with no significant light pollution

[raw arch]

I'll accept super dark nights any day but the blue is also a nice touch.. The highest nvg is quite expensive and barely used

[mint fractal]

what gun

[mental hemlock]

rd74n isg tactical, got added with 0.9.3

[mint fractal]

so post 0.9.3 they added weapons compatible with that optic?

[mental hemlock]

yup

[short gazelle]

just finished up the first segment of my base

might change the light tbh

[cinder meteor]

Hi, what's your settings for all this stuffs ? idk if you could share it or nah

[dire needle]

there's no point in sharing that since that preset won't work well with base atmos or any other weather mod for anomaly

and mod wise its base gamma + my mods + weather exp + emergent zone lut(edit: also weather is tweaked for ss)

[dire needle]

im gonna fink about that

my reshade and the grass

2560x1600 helps too

[royal pelican]

[patent coyote]

I believe these belong in #╟📸stalker2™-media

[magic spruce]

nah its definitely anomaly

doesnt look good enough

too grey

and the arms are definitely from THAP

[patent coyote]

Hmmmm, I will defer to your judgement on this subject. Just noticed the UI as well as the Grass and such and it all looks like S2, if it is Anomaly then mad props to Chriss696!

[magic spruce]

the grass doesnt either

but okay

[patent coyote]

I have not been to these maps on S2, so forgive my ignorance.
But okay.

[magic spruce]

one look at the grass and stalker 2 grass you can tell

but okay

not sure why you're getting all snappy lol

[patent coyote]

-_-

[serene elbow]

It's stalker gamma...and it looks beautiful

[patent coyote]

You did an incredible job!!

My apologies for pinging you mistakenly!

[serene elbow]

Don't worry, I'll post more screenshots tomorrow lol. It may not be Unreal Engine 5, but it looks beautiful.

[gentle rapids]

Amen to that, and im deciding which one looks better

it does look pretty good for gamma

[nocturne robin]

So you're booked into the Optometrist ASAP, yeah?

If nobody believes it's GAMMA you can always go to settings and select to change "Basic Light Settings", stuff will jump in-game with the UI overlay for changing brightness, colour etc..

idk this gives me igi vibes

this is C-con grass. Its 100% anomaly
