How do I swap PDA batteries?

[vernal wharf]

drag batteries on top of the device

[spiral pasture]

thanks!

also; are there any storage crates in rostok I can use?

[median lagoon]

there is one at the entrance of the arena

[vernal wharf]

one in the bar and one in a campfire infront of the bunker to Duty leader

[median lagoon]

or you can craft a backpack and put it as stash wherever you like but it can only hold 30kg, there are also other furniture boxes that you can put where you like

[vernal wharf]

or buy the empty exo-repair kit, is around 1.5k and can stash 100kg

[manic fox]

FUUUCK

[vapid peak]

There is one inside the bar, one in the duty side of the base, a barrel by entrance to army warehouses right behind the duty barricades

[spiral pasture]

thanks!

another question: any idea where I can find a rifle toolkit?

Since the last update, this error has popped back up despite me having done all of the fixes. This error went away, but it seems to be back since I've updated.

[north turret]

You can't really find them. It's just by crafting them with the advanced tools or buy it from a mechanic once you've upgraded its supply level. That is you gave him toolkits. But keep the toolkits for yourself until you've got spare ones for mechanics.

[willow hawk]

Advanced toolkit > craft it

Or give advanced toolkit to a mechanic and buy one

[spiral pasture]

Oh

I wasn't aware I could use the toolkits myself

:(

[manic fox]

Could something else be causing this? Maybe a memory leak or something?

[spiral pasture]

I've given out two so far

[willow hawk]

Right click > open workbench

It's like the basis of gamma

[spiral pasture]

Gotta find another one I guess lmao

[willow hawk]

From there you craft items

A lot of items are craft only

Like backpacks detector etc

Can also craft ammo using gunsmith toolkit

Etc

You can disassemble ammo to get powders and stuff

And craft new ones

Can as well buy cheap ammo and disassemble them for parts

[atomic widget]

Can the scope night vision toggle be assigned to a different key? I assign M to the PDA, because I only use the PDA for the map, and M is map

[vapid peak]

Technicians will have them if you give them sets of tools.

Anything you can buy from a store can most likely be crafted

[spiral pasture]

TIME TO CRAFT CANNED TUNA

[willow hawk]

It needs to be changed from scripts iirc

[atomic widget]

oh, no wonder why I couldn't find that option in the setting nor the mcm. Well, guess I'll wait. It's not a deal breaker though, just a bit weird that the night vision goggle sound plays everytime I pull out the PDA

[brittle vessel]

Is there any possible way to sell artifects? i got allot from finding patches but i have no ide on what to do with them

[north turret]

They’re supposed to be used with the artefacts melter to empower them (increase durability level) and used as armor attachments for various purposes. They’re really useful. I’ve never tried selling them so I don’t know if that’s possible or even worth it.

[brittle vessel]

aha

dident know that

[willow hawk]

Empower nd sell them

Or wait to get a task for one

And give it

[spiral pasture]

where do I make suggestions for the pack?

Like tweaks, not extra mods

[vernal wharf]

#old-feedback-suggestions i believe

[tidal raft]

Yes, but use Ctrl+F to see if someone else suggested something similar to that earlier.

[rapid fractal]

i believe i unbound it by accident when changing binds and it was the issue my guns was 98% i was just messing with editor menu

[hollow harbor]

Anyone know the list of default shaders turned on in base GAMMA? Turned them off to troubleshoot some frame rate problems but wanna try turning them back on. Forgot which ones I turned off but I know not all of them were originally on.

[vapid peak]

Everything above the contrast color

[brisk zinc]

You could try by doing this in the installer

Update GAMMA data> only GAMMA addons

That should revert everything to default

[vapid peak]

It will

[hollow harbor]

Awesome, thanks Xard and Falco

[brisk zinc]

I'm sure about mods with that one but I'm not sure about shaders/Reshade

[hollow harbor]

It didn't turn the shaders back on, but it reorganized them since I accidently alphabetized the shaders list.

So I just turned the stuff above contrast color on except depth of field. That one seems to do some funky stuff.

[brisk zinc]

You can try with the Full install at this point, if you don't mind the wait

That should bring everything to default

You won't download anything because you already have the mods inside a folder, don't worry about that

[vapid peak]

It'll also fully update your files if you haven't in awhile

[brisk zinc]

At this point

!installer

[raw raft]

Make sure you have the latest version you can find pinned in #📢announcements, it's 3.7

[hollow harbor]

I installed like 2 days ago so I think I should be good on the versions.

[brisk zinc]

Yes

3.7 is already in

You're good to go

[rapid fractal]

will it cause any problems if i enable any of these?

[vapid peak]

They're disabled for a reason

They're buggy/cause problems

[rapid fractal]

10-4 bossman thank u

[vernal wharf]

Cant find the artifact for that mission. Is it around the marked area?

[signal wolf]

anyone know what setting turns down the spawn rate for weapon attachments? i feel theyre a little too common for my liking.

[brisk zinc]

!disabled

[raw raft]

Mods under the G.A.M.M.A Disabled category are disabled for a variety of reasons: compatibility, performance, bugs, busy hands, etc. DO NOT ENABLE THEM FOR ANY REASON.
"But why are those mods there if you can't activate them?", you probably will ask after. Because G.A.M.M.A. as a whole is STILL IN BETA, and no, Grok can't simply remove them. Version 1.0 will have a clean mod list.
That red cross in there it's fine, don't worry about it.

DO NOT ENABLE ANIMATIONS THAT ARE DISABLED BY DEFAULT, IN MCM IN GAME OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE MOD LIST, they're disabled for the same reasons written above. If you use them, forget about #old-bugs or #🔨base-gamma-support, don't use these two channels. Use #🔨modded-gamma-support instead.

[brisk zinc]

This is the longer answer

No it's not optimized for the entire Zone

Yes you can spawn a car outside Darkscape

[fringe raptor]

is it normal to still have frequent stuttering even after core 0?

Yes

[mystic oar]

[brisk zinc]

[mystic oar]

i have no clue what you're talking about it said on the entire time

[brisk zinc]

[bronze bear]

guys, just wanna ask this, cuz i feel like im doing something wrong. so ive been at 0% armor for a very very long time, is this normal? if it is, whatever, but i feel like im doing something wrong. i apparently only need a simple armor repair kit, but its impossible to find for me. nobody sells it and the places that are further up north are impossible to get to because of the insurmountable radiation.

[scarlet ember]

technicians sell armor repair

[bronze bear]

the ones i have have not

the ones in cordon, rostok, and the army warehouses have yet to allow me to buy one

[warped ginkgo]

i think you need to deliver toolkits

to unlock the repairs kit to appear in restock times

but if it's your first basic toolkit, don't deliver it

just use it to craft your light armor repair kit

[bronze bear]

damnit

i just found them too

[fringe raptor]

What do I do if there's still choppiness and stuttering after core 0 and "turn on if stuttering"

[brisk zinc]

Buy a new computer

You could try to lower some settings

Check #╭📖faq, there's a guide about every vanilla setting

[fringe raptor]

I doubt a 1080 Ti with 12Gb of dedicated VRAM is not enough lol

[vapid peak]

It's your cpu

[brisk zinc]

I have a 3070 and still have problems

[vapid peak]

The game is old it'll never run well unless they start digging into the engine more

[brisk zinc]

Ryzen 7 3700X, I should crash Anomaly and I don't

It's just the game that isn't well optimized and it's old as well

[vapid peak]

Yeah

[brisk zinc]

It's impossible to have a stable framerate or a stutter free experience, especially with 300 mods on top

[vapid peak]

I'm fine with 45-75 fps

[brisk zinc]

Me too, I play with like 70

It's useless to go for 100+, you can't

[vapid peak]

I just capped it at my refresh rate and left it

[brisk zinc]

What's that?

If you can't reach it like never, I suggest to lower it

[vapid peak]

75

[brisk zinc]

Okay you can reach it then

[vapid peak]

I do hit it whenever I'm not In rostok or some other shithole

[mystic oar]

i cap mine at 80 with 144hz monitor, i can reach 100 in some areas but i'd rather have a smooth 80 fps rather than it fluctuating

[vapid peak]

Yeah.

Also prevents your video card from pushing harder than it needs to

[brisk zinc]

Exactly, that's why I asked you about your refresh rate

[tired violet]

I'm oldschool, just keep it 60. I like a cold(ish) PC.

[vapid peak]

Vertical sync will keep it whisper quiet

[silent wasp]

Hello, is there any way to improve FPS when aim down with scopes ?

[humble oracle]

Anyone know how to add your own music? I have no idea what root folder it'd be attached to, or anything else for that matter tbh

[pastel silo]

So, just started playing yesterday, quick question: is there anything to do with your old weapons once you upgrade? Are they worth keeping, can you sell them to anyone, or are they just in the bin?

[carmine wyvern]

can sell them, but you can dismantle them for parts for a later use

you can fieldstrip every part except the barrel

which you can only get then actually dismantling the gun

[pastel silo]

who buys weapons, btw?

[carmine wyvern]

only parts with green numbers are usefull to extract though

no one

buying / selling guns is disabled

[pastel silo]

right, cool, so they're basically just top tier parts, gotcha

[carmine wyvern]

guns are parts that still shoot

i still think traders should sell Weapons/Armors RARELY and for a high price and if they do they should be in fucked condition

[young flower]

How good is the Sphere M12 vs a ranger gas mask? I'm not sure how big the ballistic resistance is vs not having to care about radiation. Or do you just own both?

[carmine wyvern]

Radiation > Ballistic

[young flower]

Gotcha, thanks

[carmine wyvern]

you can get plenty of BR from Suits

[young flower]

Does ballistic resistance on the suit protect the head?

[carmine wyvern]

no, but the chance of getting a headshot is relatively low

and even then, i survived one with a shitty mask

[young flower]

Don't get shot in the head, got it 😁

is the 12.7mm ash sniper currently in gamma?

[graceful iron]

did you disable the stash markers in the pda?

the 12.7 ASH assault rifle is in gamma

[empty coral]

oh so that's why, didnt know about that.

[empty coral]

No I meant the sniper rifle variant of the gun, the VSSK

[graceful iron]

wait not stash markers

secondary task markers

[graceful iron]

yes, that one is also in gamma

its usually carried by high ranking monolith

[empty coral]

ah I see, thanks for your help

[stuck sun]

Turned in a bunch of patches to aslan and got a couple artifacts as a reward, but their condition is too low to sell. How to I remove the whole artifact condition thing?

[vernal hazel]

Stash them, u can use artefact melter to fix them later.

[stuck sun]

Damn, and that thing is damn expensive

[vernal hazel]

It's 15k

[stuck sun]

wat. sarkhov is telling me 60k

[vernal hazel]

Lol really?

[stuck sun]

fast travelling to confirm

ok, both wrong. It's 30k. Not as bad as I thought

Don't have any rep with eco yet either

[vernal hazel]

I'm on 1500+ rep prob discounted for me

[graceful iron]

you have an outdated gamma

its been changed a long time ago to 15k

when was the last time you updated ?

[stuck sun]

Uh. When I installed it a couple months ago

[vernal hazel]

[north turret]

updating should be relatively painless

do make sure to save your MCM settings

[graceful iron]

!backup

[raw raft]

"Why does every update completely reset my keybinds/my settings/my mods/my stuff in general?"
G.A.M.M.A. has a default mod list to make sure everyone has the same things, everything goes back to default when you update or you do a complete installation, it's normal.
You can backup your keybinds and mod settings following this guide: #╭📖faq message

[graceful iron]

if you are going to update, you will need the latest installer and to run a full installation

there have been a lot of large updates that require it #📢announcements

!installer

[raw raft]

Make sure you have the latest version you can find pinned in #📢announcements, it's 3.7

[stuck sun]

Hm. Lets see what current version im on

Installer Version: 3.2

[north turret]

oof

yeah, get the new installer and update your addons
not sure how many things have changed since that version, so can't guarantee save integrity

[stuck sun]

Haven't done much, and i'm scum so I'll just debug menu all my goods back in

[north turret]

I've done the same, nothing wrong with speeding up the first few hours after you've already done it before

[stuck sun]

Got lucky with the spartan helmet that dropped from one of my merc buddies when they fought some local monolith

[graceful iron]

the update wont break your save

it almost never does

make sure to download, extract and replace the installer then run it as admin, update gamma data and full gamma installation

[stuck sun]

Will do. I shouldn't have pressed the shiny "MD5 Check" button though

[stuck sun]

Mind tossing the link to the changelogs? curious to read what happened between 3.2 and 3.7

[graceful iron]

#📢announcements no exact change logs but that channel should have the most important changes to the installer and to the pack

[stuck sun]

thank you

[graceful iron]

why did you press it ?

[stuck sun]

it was orange and had the safe word check in it

[graceful iron]

dont use the full installation right after, it will get you blocked from moddb for an hour or more

the md5 check is not needed for anything at all, just dont use it

[stuck sun]

[graceful iron]

you already did ?

[stuck sun]

oh yes

[stuck sun]

Thanks for the help dude. didn't get flagged and the update went fine

[glad wharf]

I want to ask so parts have percentages but when ı make all of them 100 percent the weapon stays ın the same condıtıon does that affect anythıng ı need to repaır parts and also gun? or parts is enoguh?

[carmine wyvern]

parts affect performance (jams etc.)
condition affects parts durability

dirty gun = parts break down more quickly

dirty parts = gun sucks

Max amount of companions?

[rose bronze]

Hello, short question, where/how do I disable the max weight for stashes? It's a neat idea in theory, until you pile up a dozen backpack stashes at 50kg just to keep some organisation of all the stuff you might wanna use (es, I might be a little bit of a hoarder and yes, I have done some pruning, but basically I am sick of playing inventory management minigames...).

[mild trout]

in Mod Organizer, tick number 375

unlimited stash weight

[rose bronze]

@mild trout many thanks!

[potent summit]

Best variants for Remington 700?

[carmine wyvern]

one that shoots

[bronze bear]

max number of companions?

[graceful iron]

2, but if you get the folk hero achievement its increased to 4

(reaching legend rank)

[bronze bear]

is there a limit to how many you can have if you accept quests for them?

i have 6 right now

[graceful iron]

not as far as i know. in mortal sin the game just gives you a small army of companions

4 is the max you can take as normal companions by recruiting them

[bronze bear]

ok

i appreciate it, brother

[pulsar jay]

hello, new to GAMMA, just got into the first game, is there some video or an article describing how exactly GAMMA should be played considering all the new changes? what is the optimal approach, thanks Grok for this amazing work

[bronze bear]

i think people will insist you play and learn the mechanics.

[carmine wyvern]

familiarize yourself with #│📚manual

and #│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[pulsar jay]

thanks, totally missed that manual part, I will look into it, good hunting

[bronze bear]

good luck, brother

[carmine wyvern]

[hasty warren]

Ok I might be a giant retard, or it's not a thing. How do I activate the Magazines option in the mod organizer when I start GAMMA, if it is even possible to do so.

I have no real direction on the optional stuff and what they do or how I am navigating. Basically spaghetti is ejecting out from my pockets

[pulsar jay]

while we're at it, what settings would you recommend me to tone down or turn of for maximum performance gain and least loss in quality? I have gtx 1070 and playing on 1440p, I got terrible fps, already tried the settings by Falco in #╭📖faq message

it helped tremendously, but he also mentions to disable all shaders, except contrast correction & set performance mode, but Idk what specifically should I turn off and where?

[graceful iron]

its in the optionals part of MO2. enable mags redux and mags buyable at traders and disable gamma unjam reload

[hasty warren]

Ok so I am retarded. Great to know I have room temperature IQ

[pulsar jay]

I have a huge screen tearing and fps when I am looking into the fruit punch anomaly, how can I fix it?

[proper vigil]

is it possible to turn on Accessible Zone in a game that has already started

[mental dirge]

whats the key to switch from scope to collimator?

[north turret]

should be V while aiming

[mystic oar]

in debug there should be an option to unlock all travel routes if I'm not mistaken

[tired violet]

@mental dirge Your underbarrel grenade launcher key, with this mod, basically becomes a scope toggle instead (rather, attachment toggle, since that also includes the underbarrel grenade launcher). So whatever you set that binding to.

[mental dirge]

many thnx. but then how do you shoot the launcher?

[graceful iron]

switch to it

[tired violet]

Like I said it toggles the nade launcher too

basically you have to cycle through them

[mental dirge]

oh so its all there ok ok

[graceful iron]

pressing v cycles between all different attachments

scopes and the GL

[tired violet]

Oh and if you have a laser attachment, you hold your headlamp key to turn that on and off.

[pulsar jay]

is there some mod for better npc models ? like hd models for anomaly, models currently in GAMMA looks washed out and not as detailed as that models pack

1. Apparently equipping scar cant still make you do crazy stuff (waste ammo and throw nades) even at full hp? xD (my psy didnt drop)
2. I have no spam message about RF package yet the RF rec still goes peep peep (but different sound) but all around 2 blocks

[empty coral]

does this one belong to any questline? I have done the chain for quite awhile but there is no story and the mission consists of normal tasks and running back between merc and millitary base

[north turret]

I think it’s DoctorX questlines and they don’t end from what I know

[empty coral]

Thanks. I just spent the last 6h running these quest hoping it will end somehow, smh

[north turret]

Naaah, they won’t. It’s just like for guidance if you don’t have any quests to do. They’re a bit different than the usual fetch/kill quests but pretty much the similar except they’re endless.

[graceful iron]

they end with a task to find the wish granter @north turret

its quite a few of them, but thats it

once you talk to the wish granter, the quest ends

[north turret]

👀 Well, that's something new

[empty coral]

thanks, back to the grind then

[median lagoon]

why nobody is attacking or reacting towards me killing them? Seems strange

[north turret]

Because of the goodwill. Once you have it over 2k with a faction it becomes so friendly it doesn't mind you killing them

[graceful iron]

nope

[median lagoon]

I suspected that but it's dumb and should be fixed somehow

[graceful iron]

if you shoot one or 2 of a squad, that specific squad will return fire no matter your goodwill or faction relations

that behavior isnt normal

[north turret]

Hm, I've experimented killing Duty in Rostok with 3k goodwill and they just ignored it

[median lagoon]

in this case, military mission getting rid of a group of stalkers, they should have been a squad but I don't know for sure

considering this is the only dumb thing I noticed in the overall ai, is not the end of the world

[vapid peak]

Yeah it's only really a problem if you actively kill them haha. But you wouldn't be at maximal goodwill then. So they would fire back ordinarily

[median lagoon]

I guess I am part of the problem since I do mission for everybody that I have maxed out goodwill with almost all 🙂 Ideally since I am doing missions for military I should be enemy with loners and clearsky

but with the disguise system in place the ai should also be able to react to these kind of treacherous acts lol

[vapid peak]

They will react. Your reputation will drop very quickly if you were to kill them all.

[mental dirge]

i did. he only has the standard companion dial options

[gusty kiln]

I also occasionally get Stalkers reacting rather late to being shot, if at all

Shoot them in the head, "Must've been the wind", no reaction

[north turret]

I’m sure it’s a 100% no

[mental dirge]

omg im blind. it was not the eco i was talking to.

Good time of the day to everyone! Can someone please help me with making Gamma work on DX8? I successfully started a new game on DX11 at a whopping 1 FPS, but after following instructions in FAQ for running it on DX8 the game just crashes instantly whenever I launch the DX8 version.

[brisk zinc]

Point is I don't know where you're missing the file
Anomaly or GAMMA

[ivory aspen]

Anomaly ran just fine on DX8

Before adding Gamma

Speaking of which, I reinstalled Anomaly fresh before installing Gamma

[brisk zinc]

You could try to delete those two folders but before you do that, in case you want:

!delete

[raw raft]

If you really need to delete everything because you're having problems: #╭📖faq message

[brisk zinc]

Which version?

[ivory aspen]

1.5.1

[brisk zinc]

Okay that's good

[ivory aspen]

Hell, long ago I had like 100 mods and it worked lol

They are all gone now, shouldn't be a problem. No global MO2 existed before installation either.

[ivory aspen]

Saved a lot of time, not having to download the mods again

Ok, I'll reinstall again

And see if the error is still the same, if any

Actually I'll redownload gamma with antivirus off

[brisk zinc]

Yes

Thank you for following the guide

[ivory aspen]

Thank you guys for making it!

[mystic oar]

*guy

[ivory aspen]

Well there are moments with "credit goes to X" or "thanks to Y"

That's why "guys" : )

[mystic oar]

ah man I love how mobile doesn't bring me to the correct message when clicking message links

thanks discord

[ivory aspen]

Btw, in case it may somehow be related, I also had the infamous issue with instructions solving during installation

Since the only thing that touched Anomaly was Gamma, is there any need to reinstall the base game when reinstalling the modpack?

[brisk zinc]

❤️

[brisk zinc]

There's something in #│🔧troubleshooting

[brisk zinc]

No btw

You'll use Anomaly for GAMMA again

[ivory aspen]

Oh I already got through it, I'm just curious if it can be related to my thing

[ivory aspen]

Nice, thanks!

Grok replied to my comment on Reddit today and apparently he also helps here from time to time. It's nice to see the creator interacting with users and fans

[lucid stone]

do you have to exclusively use AP ammo on sin?

[gusty kiln]

They have massive Damage Resistance, so not exactly. You just need to do a lot of damage to actually kill them

Although AP will speed up the process

[lucid stone]

woah

[brisk zinc]

This is just because GAMMA should work since you already played the game, if you'll still have problems, then yes, you will delete both of them
That's like the ultimate solution

[gusty kiln]

Think of Sin as having a permanent "Reduce damage by X%" perk

I don't remember the exact %

[lucid stone]

So I basically have to go headshots only?

[ivory aspen]

Well during it I realized that I was blind and missed one of the files that had to be disabled in the guide, so there is at least that, haha

[ivory aspen]

Oh, I remember NPCs in base anomaly being like "oh my god they just shrug off bullets like it's nothing" when they were actually no more tough than average bandits lol. Gamma addresses this too, then. Neat.

[gusty kiln]

Preferably, or go full auto with something you can control. Otherwise they will probably outdamage you on a full-face 1v1

[vapid peak]

That's your best bet. They aren't very well geared but they're agile and tanky with good aim.

[sick latch]

VSSK headshots do the trick if you have that.

[vapid peak]

I think when I fought them regularly my 5.56 did the job in 2-3 headshots. And that was before the buff/silencer buff

[random field]

need some quick help. trying to reload my APS pistol and it's just holstering the gun. i have mag mods enabled.

[ivory aspen]

Equip mags with ammo in them by right clicking on them in your inventory

Keep in mind that a mag from PM cannot be used by APS

And stuff like that

[potent summit]

Guys

[random field]

they're already part of my loadout

[ivory aspen]

Oh. Well do they have ammo in them?

[random field]

and standard APS mags. yeah

[potent summit]

Where to find sample anomaly in the southerb hells wall anomaly

?

[ivory aspen]

What if you switch the ammo type and then try to reload?

[gusty kiln]

The one in the Bloodsucker Village? Someone told me that the marker is wrong, and the actual anomaly you need to visit is in another house in Bloodsucker village, more to the South

[random field]

i could try but i need to find some. this is a brand new game btw

[ivory aspen]

Do you have other firearms? Do they have this problem?

[random field]

sawed off shotgun and it reloads just fine

[ivory aspen]

Makes sense, it does not need mags. Hmm...

[random field]

manually moving mags over to the gun reloads it but obv that isn't helpful in a fight lol

[lucid stone]

nice

[ivory aspen]

Oh

Ah, nvm, I thought it could be because your gun was fullly loaded

But it should still reload

I genuinely have no clue then, sorry. I'm yet to play gamma with mags redux myself

[versed tusk]

so, enabled MAGS redux, disabled reload/unjam?

[random field]

wow okay yeah im dumb. didn't disable that. sorry yall

[versed tusk]

[ivory aspen]

Haha, just goes on to show how intricate tinkering with mods is

[versed tusk]

make sure to rebind your reload and unjam after disabling

[vapid peak]

Tells you to disable the other one in the title

[ivory aspen]

Fair enough

[potent summit]

At red forest bow

Wheres the western tunnel?

Tryong to find a dead staljer pda

[split cape]

oh wait so when you updated the pack your mod settings and a few controls get reverted?

[gusty kiln]

!backup

[raw raft]

"Why does every update completely reset my keybinds/my settings/my mods/my stuff in general?"
G.A.M.M.A. has a default mod list to make sure everyone has the same things, everything goes back to default when you update or you do a complete installation, it's normal.
You can backup your keybinds and mod settings following this guide: #╭📖faq message

not the one where you transition to Limansk

[vapid peak]

Any reason why my client is stuck at the splash screen and won't finish loading?

[potent summit]

Wheres the body

[mild trout]

there is no body

just a PDA

[potent summit]

Alright then

Wish me luck

[mild trout]

it's in the tunnel

[potent summit]

Got

[mild trout]

look carefully

[potent summit]

Just hunribg the artifact now

[mild trout]

[ivory aspen]

@brisk zinc, sorry if I pinged at a bad moment, but redownloading and reinstalling gamma did not help with this error. The log still says the same thing upon crashing on startup in DX8.
This time the antivirus software was off during both download and installation, so I'm 99.9% sure nothing was shadow-deleted.
I guess it's up to Grok now, if he has time.

[potent summit]

Ok

Wheres the undergroynd electro anomaly

Dont tell me i have to go through the tubnel?

Got

[mild trout]

You have to go into the Mine where the Sin stalkers usually are

Down the ladder

Its in thr bathroom

[potent summit]

Symbiont anomaly is out in the open rightM

[mild trout]

Yeah that one is easy

[potent summit]

Ok so

Manage to clean out the mining shaft where sinners lived to get the anomaly sample

4 separate instance

Monolith squads encounter

Just to find the other anomaly samplr

Also dont forget

Burer, pseudogiant, and cats at the entrance of the red forest

Plus some chimera

Thats how much i have to kill

[willow hawk]

Fucked up windows

[dense dawn]

hey so i just got a pda message to go to the meadows and use my RF to find a package, now i have it what do i do with it? didn't seem to get a new quest from it

[willow hawk]

Install vcredist.exe

[graceful iron]

you can just right click > open

these are side quests for packages that have loot inside them

[verbal notch]

so i accidentally hit the default button on settings, is there a backup with the default modpack game configs?

[graceful iron]

copy the user ltx in gammaRC3/groks modpack installer/gamma/modpack patches/appdata and paste it in anomaly/appdata

[verbal notch]

[dense dawn]

ah nice one ty, never bothered trying to open them normally just get them to deliver

[glad wharf]

What is the most profitable crafts? and most usable? that you think

[willow hawk]

I tried to balance them all

Nothing's perfect though

[willow hawk]

I'm a meta player... So I try to fix anything abusable

Some med crafts are better than others

And you can buy shit rounds > disassemble > craft good rounds

[glad wharf]

yea definetly i am doing that right in my playthrough

[ivory aspen]

Thanks, will do!

[lucid stone]

Does weapon condition matter for companions? Because I feel like a fully repaired weapon makes them do more dmg.

also does sleeping with sleeping bag + bed spread give you some kind of buff?

[cunning swan]

LMAO IS THE DISCORD PING WHEN YOU USE THE SCAR ARTIFACT INTENTIONAL???

it was driving me NUTS

[brisk zinc]

IIRC, yes

Just weapon condition, they don't care about parts

[brisk zinc]

Yes

You sleep better, you don't oversleep of wake up early

It's recommended to sleep "in that way"

Forget about beds in bases

[lucid stone]

thanks

[cunning swan]

as a sidenote is there no way to survive this psy field without a high tier helmet? i'd like to do this quest in the next year or so

tried using the scar artifact, smoked a fat blunt. psy health still goes down in seconds

[mild trout]

you could try with psyblock but i don't think it's gonna be enough

[hasty wagon]

youre probably gonna need a suit with higher psy protection or maybe with armor upgades

[cunning swan]

oof 💀 and this quest is available very early on

ty though i'll just look into suit upgrades maybe that'll do it

[hasty wagon]

how do i disable shift click dropping?

[signal wolf]

Anyone know how to change the spawn rate of weapon attachments on stalkers?

[vernal wharf]

Doing the Artifact hunter mission, just completed the ones from the Jupiter egghead, he told me to search Prof. Vorobushkin and instantly failed the mission. Is there a way to spawn him? And is it even worth it? Seeing that all missions from them, starting from the swamps all the way through Pripyat give only 5k, is there at least something good at the end?

[brisk zinc]

Yes, really

[signal wolf]

do i change it in mo2 or in the files?

also i dont see wpn:attachments:ammo_type

[brisk zinc]

A letter and a pat on the back if we're talking about the same quest line

Maybe the highest tier detector, a thing that you can make it anyway

[vernal wharf]

Really? I already have it lol

If that's the area with all the electrical crap as well, the laptop is on the top floor (not roof) and the easiest way I found to it without good psy protection is jumping along the left wall and just hugging it all the way around, grabbing the laptop and quickly rushing back. You'll have to jump over a few electric spots but should be easy to get in and out quick. Used psy block to slow it down and I got in and out ok with some minor dizziness.

[mystic oar]

everything except xenotech protects cordon, bizon replacer, and monsters unstucker

Probably an easier way but that's how I did it.

[somber coral]

This is a general question about anomaly as well I guess, but is it ever worth it to go through the effort of replacing parts in guns to repair them? I really like the mechanic but I've never once done it cause it's so damn expensive. Between buying the repair kits (or buying all the items to make a kit) and dissasembly tools, the small fee for the workbench... I always find it cheaper to just get cleaning kits, no?

[tired violet]

The gun's condition is different from the condition of its parts. If you have functional parts, cleaning the gun will help keep them maintained automatically as well (except the barrel I think, which you occasionally have to maintain by right clicking the weapon, maintain, with the tool necessary in your inventory - and you can do this for all parts as well) - but if the parts are below the 60% threshold they will essentially be useless and result in a gun that jams and stuff a lot, even if the gun's condition is 100%.

Mechanic only makes the gun condition 100%. Basically, he cleans it for you, but does not repair the parts.

So yes, you basically have to repair/replace the parts inside

[vernal hazel]

U can right click the gun to repair the barrel with a relevant tool kit,

[tired violet]

Forgot to finish that bit in the parenthesis lol

[somber coral]

oh okay, i understand now

[vernal hazel]

though eventually you may have high quality spare parts laying around from disassembling enough guns, tool kits can be expensive to buy.

[somber coral]

is that due to gamma or has anomaly always been like that?

[tired violet]

GAMMA

Anomaly you can just pay mechanics

and even buy guns

GAMMA you have to find a gun, and parts for it that are above 60% from other guns (or sometimes mechanics sell the parts), and then you have to replace those parts, then clean the gun and keep it all maintained. It's not hard to keep it maintained once repaired so it sounds harder than it is. The hard part is finding all the parts and the toolkits needed to get the repair kits needed.

Once you repair a gun, have all the parts replaced and it's all green and good to go, basically just keep oils and such and maintain it like you would in regular Anomaly, only also you sometimes have to right click on the weapon and maintain parts, especially the barrel (with like a file, or a ramrod, etc. in your inventory). That's all. You can see the condition of all the parts in the gun when you mouse over it, in the tooltip.

[spiral pasture]

How do I get a bounty off my head?

I did, he said he could only do it for a day or two

[midnight shore]

Hit me up if you have a clue 😅

[spiral pasture]

Is there adaptive difficulty in this? I find i'm being surrounded by mutants that kill me instantly constantly

[tired violet]

You can get some unlucky spawns

[graceful rover]

if u use the workbench with a repair kit to replace parts, the repairr kits dont use charges, so effectively you are only paying the 1000 rubles, and your weapon doesnt get dirty like with a field replacement, so it can be worth it when restoring a gun

[woeful ledge]

Got here but nothing happens, any help?

its inside the building along the back wall, it's a crate beside a sleeping bag that is kinda tricky to get the right angle to open

[hollow apex]

Does this "reputation" drop factor mean the rank score?

[carmine wyvern]

no

reputation is literally the one below the rank

[hollow apex]

so how do I know I hit the 5000 or 7000 mark

[carmine wyvern]

theres a tab in your pda with relations

top right is a button called "show in numbers"

[hollow apex]

the faction reputation?

[carmine wyvern]

ye

though now that you say it, that doesnt make sense

[hollow apex]

yes because I never got that high of faction rep

[carmine wyvern]

why would enemies start spawning with nosorogs when my rep is at 7k

[vapid peak]

Maybe it's a typo and he means 50k-70k and that's correct

[carmine wyvern]

this

that makes more sense

[hollow apex]

yes that's more like it

[vapid peak]

He said it would be a bit more of a grind. 7k isn't a grind

50-70k is about 20+ hours of game play

[carmine wyvern]

yea

i got 30k in like 8 hours

[vapid peak]

Yeah and you were cruising

[carmine wyvern]

yup

[vapid peak]

Also makes sense that you would be at Legend rank to get Nosorogs to drop

[brave steeple]

Much Love my guy,

[hollow apex]

that means a mid-button quick attack to smash wooden boxes?

[carmine wyvern]

no

the axe can literally cut wood from trees

useful for the (clearly) superior campfire save users so they can create their own spots to save the game with

[paper arrow]

"stash coordinates received" but no stashes visible on the map?

not sure if bug or working as intended

[willow hawk]

Yes that's the thing you pointed out in statistics. Rank Points

[willow hawk]

Check everywhere. It can be in outskirts

[willow hawk]

That's not what I meant

[carmine wyvern]

yeah we figured it out

all good

[willow hawk]

Armors drop from enemies based on your rank Points and based on the armor price

[carmine wyvern]

yup

we know

[willow hawk]

No

The goal is mainly to avoid being a legend fast. Not affecting armor drops.

Armor drops avoid the hobo phase of being skipped entirely that's all

[cyan ferry]

Is it okay to still use anomaly 1.5.1 with GAMMA?

[ivory aspen]

Hello, @willow hawk. I did as you said above, installed vcredist, and unfortunately it did not help. Still crashes on DX8 launch, log still says it didn't find d3.d9.dll.
I went on to discover that I DO in fact have d3.d9.dll. I have several files with this name, actually. I also checked the computer with sfc/scannow and it found no corruptions.
Now, thing is, those files are on the C disk, whereas Gamma is on D. Should I attempt copy-pasting the "missing" file somewhere into the game folder, or maybe I should try installing Gamma on the C disk?

[graceful iron]

!vanilla

[raw raft]

If you want to be able to buy and sell guns/armors again: #╭📖faq message

[ivory aspen]

Now I am confused. I literally shoved the necessary file into "dlls" folder of Gamma yet the same thing happens anyway

I copied it from system32 if it matters. Maybe this is the wrong one?

[thick python]

help me out here.. why is the door at Forester locked?

[graceful iron]

you are part of a faction enemy to loners or disguised as one

ooh damn

forgot about that

you can use sleeping pills, and i think now you can use the magazines to pass 2 hours (yes, the porno magazines)

ah thanks

why do bandits keep taking over the farm in cordon 😂

[vernal hazel]

I noticed

[pastel silo]

hey, so I disabled the three immersive sleep mods, but now, no matter how much I sleep, my tiredness meter never gets to more than half full, such that my character is being forced to go to sleep twice a day, anybody know what's up/how to fix?

[versed tusk]

yes, very rarely does a save break because of updates

[carmine wyvern]

I would personally recommend a new save after every major update

though I am not too attached to my savegames anyway, so its not a big problem for me

[north turret]

Since i don't have space on my SSD to start a Full Gamma Installation, which files should i delete from Gamma folder and which to replace from the installation from the RAR file to start like a new installation?

[graceful sedge]

Is the night vision goggles on DX8 supposed to be broken?

[brave steeple]

is the cat farm, (the checkpoint farm right after the bridge in cordon) an invaritable bandit fortress for anyone else or just me? i just got there from rostok through garbage, as soon as i got into cordon shit started popping off, bwefore i even got to prapor JR i probbaly had killed like 15-20 of them, stacking bodies, on my way back thorugh it seems to be just as many all over again.

[fringe raptor]

I had to cleanse the Northern farm 4 or 5 times when I started my playthrough until other loners started defending there

[brave steeple]

Alright, i just had to make sure it wasnt me, like it be going crazy right now, they got me in a pinch low on meds and ammo

[paper arrow]

i managed to sneak up behind one and talk to him
he got as far as "piss off stalker" before he jumped up and tried pulling his gun out

but alas

twas too late

but yeah so far anything north of the broken railway bridge is bandit central

is funny watching them go into anomolies and grab all the artifacts just so i can kill them for it 😂

[ivory flax]

How do you use the Ball artifact? says you can kick mutants.... but how do you kick?

[graceful iron]

it also says its the "use" button, F by default

you get close to mutants and you will get a prompt to kick

[ivory flax]

ah cool

thanks!

[graceful iron]

you need more of the artefact to kick stronger mutants tho

[willow hawk]

You need to disable Beef's NVG

[north turret]

you should be able to have the GAMMA folder on a different drive than your ANOMALY install
ANOMALY on SSD for fast load times, GAMMA on HDD for that storage

by "should", I mean it has been said here that that works

[remote night]

Where is the reshade folder

[graceful rover]

Is this intended? whenever i aim at someone and it identifies them, my screen shifts colors

like its a bit subtle, but once you notice it, you cant ignore it anymore

[carmine wyvern]

cries in only SSD

[north turret]

I know that pain, I used to have only one 100 GB SSD
and an ass-slow 1 TB HDD, but that was basically unusable for actual gaming

[graceful sedge]

Got it thx, I was keeping it active with the merge thing

[thick python]

in MO2 under Gamma fixes "turn this on if you stutter" - what does it do exactly?

[carmine wyvern]

ohhh , oops

sell them to mechanics

you effectively only need one

no quest for anything for them either

i doubt theres any crafting recipes either

[north turret]

aight, good to know

[inland merlin]

anybody please. d you know where this stash is?

[lament spruce]

i find items in stash boxes(green rusted boxes) before i updated gamma, now that i created a new character, i dont find any items in stash boxes anymore, what did i turned off?or did i miss something in the mcm settings?

[versed tusk]

do you save your MCM settings so they dont get overwritten after an update?

[lament spruce]

no

[versed tusk]

if not - all your settings are back to default. in that case it would be ZCP

escape > mcm > ZCP > loot

[lament spruce]

thanks stalker imma look on that

[north turret]

once you've adjusted all your settings, do make sure to go to the mod organizer, right click on "G.A.M.M.A. MCM values" and rename the suffix to whatever you want
so when you update, you just turn on the one you've set up and you won't lose your settings

[carmine wyvern]

theres a rubble pile to the south east, theres a electric box underneath the rubble which acts as a stash

[inland merlin]

damn man big thanks

spend like 30 min on this one xD

[carmine wyvern]

sry read the map wrong

theres a sleeping dude under the fleamarket

it should be next to him

if not, you can hover over the stash icon and you might get a clue to help you out

[amber scarab]

Are there any problems with running with DX10? I like how pretty the game is in DX11 but I don't enjoy my computer turning into a makeshift furnace. Or maybe it's just that we're in the middle of a heat wave.

[carmine wyvern]

difference between DX10 and 11 shouldnt be too big

maybe a bit less eye-candy

i would also recommend checking the following post

#╭📖faq message

[amber scarab]

Thank you!

[hearty cave]

What resolution you guys running the game at? I'm using a RTX 3070 and running it at 1440p but it still drops fps sometimes. Grass density at 2/3 and length at 1.0, grass shadow on.

[rare sluice]

That's why, your gpu is screaming my guy

[carmine wyvern]

BRUH

you can have grass density up, but not at 1.0 grass lenght

[rare sluice]

We need a 21 gun salute for that fuckin gpu. You can rest easy now brave soldier

[graceful iron]

make sure to limit your fps as well, unless you want to slowly cook your pc

[quaint wave]

cries in that exact situation

anyone know how to fix this render distance issue?

i'm on max world render distance

[carmine wyvern]

sure you are not playing Minecraft ?

[quaint wave]

brug

[carmine wyvern]

even with low graphics the game cant possibly look that shit

what are your specs ?

[quaint wave]

1050ti, ryzen 3 8gb ram

i have everything set to absolute minimum settings because fps > quality

[carmine wyvern]

#╭📖faq message

[quaint wave]

but that being said, it’s kinda annoying having the world not render correctly

[carmine wyvern]

check this

[carmine wyvern]

this isnt CS though

😂

atleast try to have some joy for your eyes while playing

[quaint wave]

well i’m fucking dumb

i thought texture detail was the quality of individual textures

not render distance ;-;

[carmine wyvern]

glad i could help you

we wouldnt want your eyes to decay, now would we

cuz i had a 1050ti too and i could play with good frames while my game looked better than yours did

[carmine wyvern]

much better

[quaint wave]

43 fps tho

i’m still stuck in the fucken

arma 3 logic for fps

where cpu + ssd >

[carmine wyvern]

i think the 8gb of ram might be an issue

[quaint wave]

yeah

but the being dirt poor is the main issue

[carmine wyvern]

trueee

[quaint wave]

the only reason i have my pc in the first place is drug dealing lmao

[carmine wyvern]

LMAO

[quaint wave]

can barely afford to live ;-;

on an unrelated note however, is there a way to remove the film grain effect from radiation zones?

[carmine wyvern]

ye

its either in the graphic menu or gameplay

i cant really remember rn

[quaint wave]

found it

based

ty

[carmine wyvern]

[quaint wave]

sex visuals

[carmine wyvern]

god damn that gun must be heavy

[quaint wave]

hence why i use it

i like heavy guns

i’m not a simp over the 1911 for no reason

weight >

[hearty cave]

@vernal hazel really? I thought density affects most performance. 😵

[carmine wyvern]

density + grass lenght + grass shadow = FPS Killer

i personally use relative high grass density but low lenght

that way the grass doesnt "pop" in that much

!crash

[raw raft]

Send your crash log here, it's inside: Anomaly/appdata/logs, send the file called xray_yournamehere.txt
Make sure you're not using any extra mods.

[vernal hazel]

[carmine wyvern]

that crash message isnt really helpful for the other guys w/o the logs

also because of the update, your keybinds got set to the default ones

thats why you cant reload your guns

try a new save game

see if you crash

[hearty cave]

Yeah the weird thing is if I want, I can even run the game at 4k mostly okay but it's just in certain area and situation, even at 1440p it chugs.

[carmine wyvern]

the game is running on a engine from 2009, some areas are still unoptimized i suppose

you can tweak the amount population of stalkers and mutants spawning in the world to increase FPS

[hearty cave]

Yeah I lowered both population to 0.5. it was too crowded to my taste anyways. The worst case with huge Sin assault on rookie village, it turned into a slideshow 🤦🏻‍♂️

[carmine wyvern]

Sin in Cordon?

thats.... weird

[hearty cave]

That's part of the storyline quest

[carmine wyvern]

ohh

never played Loners

so i wouldnt know 😂

[hearty cave]

Haha oops

[carmine wyvern]

maybe particle effects ?

if you havent already, check #╭📖faq message

useful info in there

[quaint wave]

is there a way to have a large health ui at all?

i’ve come here from EFP, and in that pack there’s an option to have a larger ui panel in your inventory (or manually toggled with H) instead of the smol box in the corner

i ask because i’m a fan of zero hud

and prefer having everything in a quick menu

[carmine wyvern]

have you tried pressing H

cuz its the same in Gamma

[thick python]

I have the quest to deliver a case to skinflint. That's the location (map) and I think it should be somewhere on/around/under or over the truck.. But even with demorecord I couldn't find any stash. Is it bugged / not even there, or am I missing something?

[pulsar jay]

hi, so I started with Sunrise bodysuit, it was 100% condition, now I am at 50%, I know it's my fault I didn't repair it sooner, but only available repair sewing kit can only repair from >65% of suit condition, and currently I have no way to repair this suit, coz I don't have any higher tear repair kits that can repair it below 65% of condition, it will probably degrade more and more until I finally find a way to repair it, it will not even be worth repairing when it will be like 10% total condition

Any tips/suggestions how could I repair it now?

[carmine wyvern]

!repair

[raw raft]

A quick video about "how to repair stuff": #╭📖faq message

[thick python]

If you repair single parts of your suit (workbench or toolkit) your overall suit condition will increase.

[pulsar jay]

its definitely there, maybe its not on the truck but on that viaduct structure above? the stash can be really tiny case sometimes

[carmine wyvern]

that requires the appropriate repair kit though

for a sunrise that should be the light armor repairkit

[pulsar jay]

I dont have any toolkits yet, so I should ask technician for a workbench access then, thanks I will look into it

[carmine wyvern]

in the driver cabin

or the space behind the driver cabin, OR underneath the truck

[pulsar jay]

i love stashes like this, when you are literally one feet away from it and cant find it xD

its the thrill

[thick python]

I went above on the viaduct and even under and in the trucks cabin.

[ashen laurel]

Huh, so I have a quest to get a tracker from a mutant for scientists
but the mutant isn't dropping the tracker

[pulsar jay]

bro, IT IS THERE, maybe try during the day light

[north turret]

Happens. I don't know a proper fix but it helps me if I let the mutant die in anomaly or let an NPC kill it.

[gusty kiln]

If all else fails, spawn the Perk Artifact that makes stashes glow in the dark

[gusty kiln]

Might help you finding it

[thick python]

for me the tracker was on an allready dead mutant

[pulsar jay]

it can be anywhere, it can looks like a tiny rusty toolbox, anything

[carmine wyvern]

AYO ?!

holy shit thats cool

[thick python]

thats helpfull, thanks!

[ashen laurel]

nice, yea
made the boar run into an electric anomaly and it died from it, then it dropped
thanks

[pulsar jay]

it shows signs of intelligence, it wanted to sabotage your quest running into that

[carmine wyvern]

cant have shit in the zone

[ashen laurel]

mother fucking boar ate that tracking device and dissolved it

[pulsar jay]

https://tenor.com/view/evolution-excited-thrilled-passionate-jim-carrey-gif-20646605

[thick python]

nice, might try that. Thx guys

[carmine wyvern]

also, hovering over the stash icon on the PDA Map might give you a clue

[thick python]

unfortunaly not in that case (screenshot)

[north turret]

I've been frustrated for like 3 mins with that stash in Yantar But it's there. Just hard to notice, maybe because of colors or smth.

[pulsar jay]

perk that makes stashes glow ? holly damm 😄

[thick python]

I'm glad the stalkers around there killed the controller for me and now it's pretty quiet around the place.. So I doesn't want to wait till sunrise. 😄

[quaint wave]

well, yes, but it is still a tiny box in the corner i forget to close sometimes lmao
it also seems to not affect what i presume is the psy health bar?

though that might be due to the minimalist ui mod being disabled

[versed tusk]

numpad enter for psy

[quaint wave]

ah, got it

[quaint wave]

font size; 2%

[sleek sun]

so i cant sprint with upgraded full suit right

the suit without hand is possible to sprint after upgrade

[graceful iron]

it has an upgrade that lets you sprint

[sleek sun]

its already been upgraded

[graceful iron]

right click > details

check if the sprinting upgrade has been installed

[graceful iron]

did you try sprinting with it equipped ?

[sleek sun]

yes i tried

[graceful iron]

wait, scroll down and check for other upgrades

[vernal hazel]

How much crap u got in ur inventory

[graceful iron]

also, make sure it has enough battery power

[sleek sun]

just a medical store

[sleek sun]

i saw it, the ultimate upgrade 300k with expert tool

well, red forest here we go again

[vernal hazel]

Walking pharmacy

[mystic oar]

sir where is your ammo

[vernal hazel]

U can craft tier 3 upgrade prob cheaper than 300k if that's what u meant

[sleek sun]

yeah it isnt a problem really, the tool is

[sleek sun]

im playing at military but all of them veteran below.. meanwhile loner and others are master legend jesus

anyone happen to know high rank military base?

[pulsar jay]

I have this graphics issue. Can anybody help? Sometimes I see these bright lines, either sun light or where 2 objects connect. I didn't modify any special values via console, only normal graphical settings

[sick latch]

Is there a way to teleport to a specific NPC? I can see in the console that the fan that shows up after completing Mortal Sin has spawned, but I can't find him. Would like to be able to just teleport to him.

[graceful rover]

I've notice that at a certain point, once ive gathered some rep, mission dialogues change and instead of telling me where to go, they just show me a generic task description, but no location anymore

is there a way to avoid that? knowing where you have to go when rescuing some dude is kinda important beforehand to know if it is worth the trip

[sick latch]

Sometimes it bugs out and you have to save and reload.

[graceful rover]

Like that

[graceful rover]

ok ill try that

[graceful rover]

aand it worked, thanks a lot

[hearty cave]

Just finished the quest and had the same question. But I found him sitting at the campfire in the village. You can try too.

[proven raven]

Hi, I'm having a CTD upon loading into a new game - Unhandled Exception

Any clue how to fix it? I've attached the log above

[willow hawk]

! crash

[raw raft]

Send your crash log here, it's inside: Anomaly/appdata/logs, send the file called xray_yournamehere.txt
Make sure you're not using any extra mods.

[proven raven]

Ah, cheers

just noticed I had trader overhaul on by accident, I'll try again without it first

[wraith knoll]

does anyone know if there are some kind of fix for duty expansion? it crashes when try to talk to NPC

[proven raven]

god bless, unticking trader overhaul worked just fine

[pulsar jay]

so nobody has this problem?

[unkempt dagger]

Got a flat basic vanilla gamma setup, is it an issue, or do none of the traders sell any weapons?

[gusty kiln]

That's intended. You can't buy/sell weapons/armor, you have to find them on dead stalkers and repair them

[gusty kiln]

No fix atm. Grok may look into it in the future, but it's not on his plate in the near future, far as I know

[unkempt dagger]

Alternative question: is this something I can disable in MCM or the mo2 config/launcher?

[gusty kiln]

Yes you can

#╭📖faq message

[unkempt dagger]

Got it, thanks bud

[still knot]

hi guys how would i go about removing the radiation screen effect i tried in the anomaly menu to no avail. also is there a chance to change the keybind for the hud i usually use h for ammo check but it seems to be set to toggle the body damage hud. im new to gamma and only playing vanilla just trying to get a few things configured to my personal liking cheers

[gusty kiln]

Have you tried going into Settings > Visual > Player and unticking the Radiation Effect box?

Some keybinds are "hardcoded" and not exactly available for the average end-user to change them

[willow hawk]

In before people complain about getting rads randomly

[gusty kiln]

Tbf, with or without the radiation effect, I still get rads randomly

I learned to love that rad-resist pill

[still knot]

yeah the setting in anomaly was the first thing i went to do. i get people would complain ive just never been a fan and usually its one of the first things i alter. i mean theres literally an icon on the hud for it. its cool though ive heard good things about gamma so i guess i shall just deal with it 🙂

[pulsar jay]

guys I also have huge stutters when looking into campfires / fruit punch anomalies, anyone?

[gusty kiln]

GAMMA has randomly generated rad spots. They're unique to your save, so do pay attention to your rads

[lunar cedar]

hello, i have seen in a couple youtube videos that stashes do not have a max weight, however in my game stashes have a max weight, how can i disable this?

[gusty kiln]

Enable Unlimited Stashes Weight under the GAMMA Fixes category

[median lagoon]

when I first started playing gamma, with loner, there was this automated quest which woudl assign high value targets to kill (targets where in the north anyway never made it to actually do it). After few updates and starting over with duty I never got this quest again. what happened to it? was it disabled along with the other gamma quest from doctor?

[lunar cedar]

thank you!

[gusty kiln]

You get stutters/screen tearing, or does your FPS actually decrease?
