How you folks managed to build somethinh l8ike this

Thanks alot falco

When its done i do need to re check the mods i dont want right ?

Or does that remain the same as well ?

[brisk zinc]

The installer is all Grok's work, he's the author of GAMMA, the one who develop everything, etc.

The rest of my knowledge is basically trial and error

[brisk zinc]

Yes, of course

"Why does every update completely reset my keybinds/my settings/my mods/my stuff in general?"

[scenic spade]

Ah okay

Would you mind helping me out with that cause last time it didnt go so well when i tried it on my own someone had to help me out cause i missed certain things wich caused errors

[brisk zinc]

What do you need to do?

[unkempt bronze]

Hey Falco, sorry to interupt, but can you tell me how the gamma companions rework impact the game?

[scenic spade]

I wanna be able to fasttravel without the delay as well as the normal health system not the one with legg arm head and torso damage

[brisk zinc]

[unkempt bronze]

oh shit, my Mo2 dosen't disclosed the info, i'll look more into it, thanks!

[brisk zinc]

For the normal health, disable these two

Doing this will bring back this, basically

[scenic spade]

Yes thats great

There is no way to see how much radiation you have then right ? Or am i just blind

[brisk zinc]

There is one item for it

I don't remember the name

Dosimeter?

You click a button and you can see the number on screen

[scenic spade]

Oh its an in game item okay

[brisk zinc]

Or you can simply use it like a detector

[near leaf]

I cannot seem to find the rebind for Jam clearing/checking and when I hit reload it checks for a jam instead?

[scenic spade]

But isnt that how much radiation there is in the area ?

[brisk zinc]

You know, I think you're right

[scenic spade]

But its okay

My guy will cough when it gets bad

Since you won't use BHS and Minimalist HUD, it's perfect

[scenic spade]

How do i know if the installation is done ?

[brisk zinc]

Put it at the bottom of your mod list

[brisk zinc]

Look the installer

Or the progress bar

It will tell you when it's done

It's written on it

[scenic spade]

I dont see a progress bar ?

Ah wait

Got 8t

[brisk zinc]

[scenic spade]

Yes

If thats done i can close it ?

[brisk zinc]

When it's done, yes

[brisk zinc]

Are you using Mags Redux?

[scenic spade]

No

[brisk zinc]

Not you

[near leaf]

I am yes

[brisk zinc]

It seems done

[brisk zinc]

Did you did this?

[scenic spade]

Can u also tell me which to disable to be able to quicksave ?

[brisk zinc]

I told you already

You probably missed that

How to disable YACS safely: #╭📖faq message

[brisk zinc]

Yes it's a mod, follow this guide

[near leaf]

You know that makes sense.

[scenic spade]

Fast travel and health i saw you send me ?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

It's all above

[brisk zinc]

I know

Disable that mod

Then check in keybinds when you're in game

[austere mortar]

are u sure u english?

[scenic spade]

But i mean campfire save ?

To just quicksave whenever

[brisk zinc]

No I'm not, can't you tell?

[brisk zinc]

Man

You asked a simple thing

You don't want campfire saves

Correct?

[austere mortar]

was it okay_cat talking about perfect british accent... ah whatever

[scenic spade]

Yes

Correct

[brisk zinc]

Follow that guide

It disable the mod that prevent you from quicksaving

[brisk zinc]

It was me and it was a joke

[scenic spade]

Something is wrong

[unkempt bronze]

Trees looking pixelated af, i tried tweaking some graphic settings but nothing changed it. Maybe some kind of rendering stuff im not understanding?

[brisk zinc]

?

[scenic spade]

I didnt do shit i just unchecked the boxes u showed me now its disconnected from anomaly ?

[brisk zinc]

Click on that green and blue gears

Check if every path is correct

Maybe it's still connected to the old Anomaly

You just need to choose the correct path in there

[scenic spade]

I deleted the old anomaly

[brisk zinc]

I know

[brisk zinc]

[scenic spade]

Wtf its not gone

Check this out

[worn moat]

Can I somehow make Aslan and Dushman immortal/not aggro on me when Im playing Loner? Im just passing through dead city farming mercs and I accidentally killed both of them

I mean they went outside merc base and rushed me so I didn't have much choice

[brisk zinc]

thanks ❤️

[worn moat]

do I have to get a suit to max condition for a disguise to work or can I just pull up a 30% condition, shit stained shirt with a LOVE MERCENARIES on the front?

[brisk zinc]

Yes, not necessarily in max condition, but a 30% armor condition will probably increase suspicion
You can change this in the MCM settings

IIRC it's in MCM settings
If it isn't there, then it's in settings

[scenic spade]

It still doesnt work

Anomaly isnt linked

[worn moat]

OK, thanks

[brisk zinc]

I'm cooking right now

If you can wait I'll help you later

[scenic spade]

Okay enjoy your food

[unkempt bronze]

Im guessing this isn't right, i must have done some dumb shit for it to be looking this way

How do i reset the filters to get it back to normal?

[unkempt bronze]

Thanks G, you are a legend!

[unkempt bronze]

One last thing, anyone know how to fix those grey parts not rendering properly? Or the folliage pixelation?

[sweet vale]

hey so

I have a contract to assassinate some freedom guy

I'm assuming uhh

freedom will turn hostile if I do so?

ah

stealth kills

[paper plaza]

how to disable and delete the reshade guys ?

[brisk zinc]

@scenic spade still nothing?

[scenic spade]

No ill try again tomorow its getting pretty late here

[brisk zinc]

I'm here now if you want to try one last time

[scenic spade]

Nah thnx for all the effort but my laptop is off alreaddy

[unkempt bronze]

Sadly i still got some problems, if you have a couple of seconds to spare, i could use some help

[brisk zinc]

I read everything, you asked about that grey thing but I really don't know what to do, sorry

If you have any problems, I can try

[unkempt bronze]

Only two things actualy, the rendering problems that i posted a screenshot up here and some missing npc portrais

[brisk zinc]

missing npc portraits

I guess you're talking about those stretched faction images instead of a dude?

It's normal

[unkempt bronze]

Weird, these two things just started happening after i updated gamma, but if it's normal, thats okay

So i'll just brush it off

[brisk zinc]

The portraits thing, yes

It's being worked on

The grey parts, I really don't know

[unkempt bronze]

The resolution thing wasn't there, so it means there is a way to fix it, i'll keep looking for it

Oh, and what about the pixelated folliage?

[molten siren]

Am I safe to disable Better merc voices?

To get rid of the English

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron maybe you're still around, I'm sure you have a solution for this

[brisk zinc]

It's either the game fault since it's an old game or you probably lowered something in graphics

[graceful iron]

i dont know everything and sadly, i have no idea

i think you can, but there might be left overs in some gamma addons

[unkempt bronze]

Maybe if i fix one the other corrects itself, i'll keep testing some graphic options

[warped ginkgo]

go to your anomaly root folder

[unkempt bronze]

Thanks @brisk zinc! Bust be tough to keep track of so many questions and fixes, really appreciated it

[warped ginkgo]

and inside bin folder delete reshade folder

[sweet vale]

Is there a mod that fixes some enemies making absolutely zero sound while moving

[brisk zinc]

It's an engine limitation, can't do much about it

[sweet vale]

Footsteps are an engine limitatiib...

Impressive amounts of slavjank

[graceful iron]

you have no idea

ask the modders

[stuck sun]

Is there a mod to add a backlight to the svarog detector? When it gets dark out, this thing is difficult to read

[sweet vale]

@north turret is a bot I believe

Or hacked

[plush wharf]

@brisk zinc

[brisk zinc]

[molten siren]

I’m ready to start a new Story Mode, is there anything I should look over , disable/enable before starting a long term play through? Some assistance would be awesome & appreciated as my last story save was corrupted

[versed tusk]

the game's settings are as intended. optional stuff is MAGS redux and a few other things but not rly needed tbh

probably easier if you ask for stuff you didnt enjoy much or want to change and people can tell you if you can do it safely

[empty phoenix]

Are the AI supposed to rush you en masse

I just cleared Agropom military and they all just streamed out the gate

Was looking forward to room clearing

[warped ginkgo]

who knows, AI sometimes works perfectly and others are full braindead

[empty phoenix]

I didn't get to kill any inside, they all came out looking for me

I used a silenced weapon on a guy in one of the towers and that alerted the whole base

[molten siren]

I last updated about a week ago, Should I update everything again? before starting

[smoky dome]

hey where do u get armor in here? is it supply level? wanted to get a set of eco armor for disguise

[warped ginkgo]

Loot ecologs bodies

[smoky dome]

fug I'm military so I don't wanna shoot eco

[warped ginkgo]

or maybe you can find some broke in a stash coordinate

but its low chance i guess

[smoky dome]

does disgusing as another faction help mitigate the effects of getting low rep by shooting neutral stalkers

like I have a loner nomad suit, can I disguise as a loner and kill ecos or will that still affect my rep with the ecos

[stoic moth]

Yeah killing ecos as a loner will mean you don't lose rep as a military

[smoky dome]

yea imma repair this nomad suit then and maybe start picking of lone eco's

also is it safe for me to have the eco quest explore X-18 and the military quest to go to X-18?

just wondering so I don't softlock myself

[flat atlas]

So, first time talking here, currently doing the quest for Sakharov to disable the miracle machine, I’ve cleared out almost all of x16 except for the brain room, because every time I try to enter it I immediately die.
I have the psy-helmet, is the game bugged or am I doing something wrong?

[lunar harbor]

guys there is a way to get actual dark nights?

all I get is this "white infra vision"

[tired violet]

That pic looks pretty dark to me

[lunar harbor]

you don t see white vegetation?

[tired violet]

Ah I see what you mean, where basically you see the silhouettes of all the objects

I dunno, that might be normal for the nights I'd have to look again. I added an HDR effect to the reshade settings in my game too so it makes nights even darker, so if that exists in my game that may have covered it for me.

[lunar harbor]

I've an actual HDR screen

this could be fun to try

how do you add "fake reshade" to Gamma reshade?

*"fake HDR"

[tired violet]

Gamma reshade is just typical reshade, the shaders are located in the bin folder in the anomaly folder

So you just gotta download the FX and drag it into there (wherever you installed anomaly/bin/reshade-shaders/shaders

[stoic moth]

Try clearing your shader cache and typing cfg_load grading warm in the console

[lunar harbor]

@stoic moth is this permanent?

[tired violet]

adding a reshade?

[lunar harbor]

the console thingy

[tired violet]

Ah, you may want to @ him, I haven't messed with console stuff.

[lunar harbor]

@tired violet sure, where I can download the FX?

mind to link yours?

[pearl ridge]

does the quality of say artefact get me better stashes/rewards when I turn them in for quest?

[real copper]

Doing Markovs artifact quest. I can't find Radiation Workshop that is apparently near the Rostok checkpoint in Wild Territory. Can anyone help me locate it please? I can't for the life of me find it

[tired violet]

@lunar harbor https://github.com/byxor/thug-pro-reshade/blob/master/THUG Pro/reshade-shaders/Shaders/FakeHDR.fx

[pearl ridge]

that is in wild territory near the merc sniper tower

[lunar harbor]

@tired violet thk you really much kind Sir

[pearl ridge]

go to the merc sniper tower, then look towards the heli direction

[pearl ridge]

then take a left and the dark building with the damaging plants hanging from the ceiling with radiation has it

it's the building that in SHoC has the bloodsucker in it

[tired violet]

@lunar harbor You can also download the reshade.exe (google that) and then create a dummy folder somewhere (desktop or whatevs, this is just to install reshade to so you can copy the fx files from there, you won't launch from this folder or anything), copy your anomaly exe that you launch (dx11 or whatever) into that dummy folder, then when you run the reshade exe and install it to that exe it gives you access to presets with basically every FX available, right from the installer. Much easier. When it installs it creates the reshade-shaders/shaders folders in the dummy folder just like in your main folder, so you can drag whatever fx you install to your dummy folder into the main one.

Sounds more complicated than it is but it's much easier than searching individual shaders from github and so on.

[lunar harbor]

@tired violet I was thinking about that, but Gamma use an older Reshade version, dunno if those are compatible

[tired violet]

They are

That's how I do it

[real copper]

Thanks. I thought it was the place but I never got a marker for it and the mission said it was near the checkpoint. I assumed it was before the sniper tower. That isn't near the checkpoint. There like the middle of WT.

[tired violet]

Added SMAA and FAKEHDR, a sharpen filter, etc.

[lunar harbor]

so I just copy the shader in a txt file and slap it in shader?

[pearl ridge]

yeah the quest description isn't great

[tired violet]

should be the shader.fx (like FakeHDR.fx) or something like that

Copy that into the anomaly/reshade-shaders/shaders folder with all the other fx files

[pearl ridge]

in the future quests, you'll have to run around in 200m radius to find them on some of them

[tired violet]

then when you launch anomaly, press HOME, and activate it like usual

Also whenever you update GAMMA, you just have to reactivate them again

[lunar harbor]

@tired violet I'll check in some game I've already installed, btw really thx for helping

[tired violet]

But they will always be there (updating GAMMA just puts them on the bottom of the list and only activates the vanilla GAMMA stuff)

Yeah no problem man

[pearl ridge]

the one in the hell's wall anomaly in army warehouse is on a roof you have to jump up on and 60m away from the marker, on a broken down building

[real copper]

Between my response and now is all it took for me to find it. I was expected an anomaly smart terrain. That's what kept me from going in there

[real copper]

I'll try to remember that. Actually cruel. The WT tunnel one is pretty bad too. No way to walk out without damage.

[pearl ridge]

does anyone know if the quality of aretfact you turn in for quest affects the reward?

[tired violet]

Good question, I always just turned in whatever condition I find. Generally the rewards are pretty low (2k range)

Never repaired one first

[sweet vale]

how do I change freq on an RF receiver?

[pearl ridge]

have nothing in your main hand

use mouse buttons

hold at or shift while clicking to go up or down larger increments

if you're trying to find a package, hold f while running around and use the message to get a general idea

they're usually in a bush on the ground as loose loot

[real copper]

I've yet to find an actual good artifact so I hope not. But I assume they're better in the north

Good condition that is

[pearl ridge]

as the beeping gets louder and faster, you're closer

use triangulation to find it fast

[smoky dome]

what supply level is needed to let the traders sell stuff like medium armor repair kits and rifle repair kits, supply level 2 and they still only sell light armor and handgun

[pearl ridge]

depends on the trader, but I started seeing them around 3/4

you can also craft them

[smoky dome]

idk the crafting recipe for them so

[pearl ridge]

this was for the tech in yantar

right click your tool

or use tech vise

then recipe is already learned

[smoky dome]

wait which tool

[pearl ridge]

basic or above

you'll need better tool to craft the higher level kits like heavy repair etc

so right click on basic tool, open work bench

then go to the 3rd tab and click on repair kits

you can see what parts you need to find/buy/disassemble

medium repair kit needs advanced tool, prob same with the army rifle kit

[smoky dome]

oh wait you don't need to learn the recipes from dead stalkers anymore?

[pearl ridge]

might need to let trader do 24h reset to see new inventory

not in gamma no

you know 99% of the recipes in game at start

there's a few you need to find for the exotic exo batteries

[smoky dome]

have nomad stalker and M4 SOPMOD I wanna try and repair

[pearl ridge]

you'll have to have the medium repair kit, the parts you want to replace, and some tools

once you get the armor above like 70% you can use glues

[smoky dome]

I already have basic tools

imma give them to the duty mechanic in rostok for more rep with them

since its safe for a military guy to go to the bar

[pearl ridge]

you'll need the repair kit, repairing the higher level armors needs good kits, tools, and parts

[smoky dome]

I think imma make that a good central base

[pearl ridge]

just be mindful if you turn in the tools you'll have to pay the 1k to use them at the vise

you can find the basic tools a lot tho

spirit in yantar will give you some basic tools for 7-8 bottles of neimroff vodka

you can also find them a lot in stashes

[smoky dome]

are companions in gamma the same as anomaly btw

[pearl ridge]

once you have them, you can use 5 and some parts to make advanced tools

[smoky dome]

like can u use them as mobile stashes too

[pearl ridge]

no

at least, not that I have tried in their dialogue menu

once you get some rep in the faction, you can ask random faction npcs to follow you for free

I think the higher faction rep lets you ask the higher ranking npc and more of them are willing to go

[smoky dome]

I accepted an escort quest for some ecos and now they are my temp companions

[pearl ridge]

they are just for the quest

[smoky dome]

I looked in the dialouge options and I could manage their inventory

so I'm using them as temp mobile stash

[pearl ridge]

oh, well they're temp so I would get your stuff back before you finish the quest

once you talk to them when the quest is done, they give you the reward and teleport away

[smoky dome]

yea

they needed to go to rostok anyway

and thats where I'm gonna store most of my loot

since its in the middle of almost everything and there is a guide there

better than agroporom

[pearl ridge]

so you can get the perm followers to carry your loot, go in the issue command prompt and it's in their

[smoky dome]

ye so I guess companions here are like in vanilla then

you can use them as mobile stashes

[pearl ridge]

yeah seems like it

[smoky dome]

how good is a universal weapon cleaning kit btw

found a one use on a dead loner

[lament spruce]

deleted shader_cache(?), but my water/puddles still look like this

[lunar harbor]

@tired violet almost

@tired violet starting to think there is something wrong

[tired violet]

I have to admit it's tough for me to see what's wrong on that pic, even the last one I had to struggle to see it

might be my monitor or something but you got fake HDR working I presume, and didn't fix it?

[lunar harbor]

It could be my HDR

[tired violet]

or help rather

Might be. Fake HDR isn't real HDR it's a contrast filter which is why I assumed if I had it, Fake HDR helped eliminate it

There's a darker nights setting in the regular options too

[lunar harbor]

fake HDR got it darker, if I try to play with the setting it just gets "greener or blueish"

[tired violet]

But I imagine you did that already

[lunar harbor]

already enabled the dark night setting

[tired violet]

Even vanilla (slightly bright) in GAMMA is dark too

So maybe you can try going back to that

in conjunction with the FAKE HDR

[lunar harbor]

i'll try to disable HDR

(on my monitor)

[tired violet]

it may at least grayscale everything so it doesn't seem like "black and silhouette"

That too. You also deleted shader cache already right?

[lunar harbor]

yes, deleted already

[tired violet]

In case I guess, probably not the issue

Yeah figured

[lunar harbor]

ok, HDR "increase" the issue, but everything is still grey and not picth black

[tired violet]

Honestly try going back to the slightly bright night setting (this is vanilla for GAMMA)

just curious

on mine, with Fake HDR that setting is still pitch black

Maybe it's something stupid like dark night setting has you seeing negatives (lol)

[lunar harbor]

it does looks like a 16 bit image lol

[tired violet]

Pics are tough for me to judge

All of them look basically good to me lol

[lunar harbor]

don t you see the red "shadows" on the clouds?

[tired violet]

Maybe my monitor settings are darker already or something than yours

Nah for me on that pic everything is basically pitch black aside from the fire pit

and a flashlight or something in the middle

[lunar harbor]

ok, I just bought a new 21:9

[tired violet]

The other thing it might be is just a weather thing

[lunar harbor]

a this point dunno if are the setting

[tired violet]

you can keep playing and see what other nights look like

could be a light fog or something

Simplest thing is sometimes the issue type of deal, maybe

[lunar harbor]

it uses an MSI Gaming osd to auto set the brightness

dunno if is conflicting with an old engine like stalker

[tired violet]

Not sure about that sort of thing. My monitor is an Optix g24c, 16x9 24'' curved non glare etc. etc.

Only settings I normally change on monitors, especially since I use HDMI, is lowering gamma/brightness in general

because default burns my damn retinas

could be your monitor brightness settings are too high

for the dark nights

so you can still see some stuff you normally wouldn't

[lunar harbor]

what is odd are the strange colors I see, they really looks like 16 bit image

[tired violet]

Yeah I wish I could tell better with the pics

[lunar harbor]

do me a favor

open the second image in paint

and crank up the brightness

tell me if you see red spot on the clouds

[tired violet]

One sec, just changing brightness in the regular photo viewer it's much easier

I have to like triple it to even start to see silhouettes and the rain

ok, holy crap I had to increase brightness by like 500% to begin to see red and purple clouds

And by the time I saw those

everything else looked like ass already, gray silhouettes and all of that

so if I have a correct representation of what you're seeing...I honestly have no idea man

Outside of lowering your monitor brightness until all of that is hidden (including cloud color, not sure why that's there or if it's always there as an engine lighting thing, etc., and I just can't see it due to my monitor settings and game settings) or whatever I dunno. Someone who is more of an expert on potential shader issues and so on might need to get involved in this one.

[lunar harbor]

really really thx anyway

[tired violet]

But yeah I see a bit of red, blue and purple in your clouds. All the buildings and trees and such are light gray silhouettes/shapes and everything else is basically pitch black.

[lunar harbor]

that s how I see it

[tired violet]

Some of the clouds are also gray like the buildings

[lunar harbor]

but in "high quality"

is perfectly shitty 🙂

[tired violet]

Just to show you how much I had to brighten it before I saw what you see

compare this pic on your monitor now

But that is odd because your minimap is completely blown out in that, can barely make out anything, but your minimap on YOUR pics that you posted looks fine to me as well. So I think it's more than a brightness thing on your end.

[lunar harbor]

if I check my 2nd image with the hdr off I doo see everything pitch black

and the image you just posted is like I see it with HDR on

but the minimap

but in game I still see the grey silhouette regardless of HDR

[tired violet]

I figured my image that I sent you would look insanely bright on your end considering its comparison to your original

Oh wait nevermind I misread

So yeah then that sounds like it might be something to do with your monitor's HDR setting

not sure why it doesn't reflect in-game though...bizarre

[lunar harbor]

if I lower every setting, the image in game is dark for few second then gets back to grey

the monitor is auto adjusting the setting 100%

[tired violet]

Can you turn that off?

That sounds like your issue right there

[lunar harbor]

this monitor needs an USB b to communicate with the pc

[tired violet]

Maybe a setting to turn it off for games

[lunar harbor]

I'll try to disconnect that

[tired violet]

I bet if you get that setting off it'll be fixed

[lunar harbor]

is a "smart" monitor

[tired violet]

Lol yeah, seems a bit ironic atm

I think you mentioned that before so you were already on to something I think

MSI gaming osd

[lunar harbor]

I must remove every thing from my desk to unplug the cable

I'll do it later, too early in the morning

if you r curious i'll update later

[tired violet]

Lol I feel you, yeah I'll be around. That is probably guaranteed the issue

Since it changed to grayscale after a few seconds of darkness and so on it seems certain

[lunar harbor]

again really thx for your help

I couldn t figure it out on my own monitor

[tired violet]

All good man like I said when you mentioned the MSI gaming osd thing I think you were already on to the issue, so if it turns out that's it, it was all you lol

[lunar harbor]

without you confirmation is was all hot talk

[lone owl]

How do I use vog grenades and get the powder can to blow up?

Trying to do the Why we can't have nice things mission

[tired violet]

The other thing that makes it certain now that I think about it

Is that if it wasn't auto correcting the dark nights, and was a brightness issue in general, you would know because your days would be way too bright

It isn't correcting what's already bright enough, it's only auto brightening your nights. So your days probably look fine.

[lunar harbor]

I admit I'm impressed with the monitor being able to crank up the night brightness, without touching the minimap

[tired violet]

Yeah that's why when I had to increase the pic brightness to see what you see

It also blew out the minimap on my end

That is kind of dope

[lunar harbor]

is a smart dumb monitor 🙂

[tired violet]

very smart, but tunnel vision

[lunar harbor]

I'll update you later

have a good day/night

[tired violet]

You too, hope it works (it will)

[smoky dome]

at what goodwill rank will hostile factions stop shooting at you onstie? 500 or 1000

[prime ice]

anyone know if there is a difference in damage between left click and right click when you use a melee weapon?

[smoky dome]

does anyone know which toolkit do you need to start disassembling guns

[gleaming robin]

What is your bolt action rifle of choice and in what caliber ?

[carmine wyvern]

None, the Multitool from Mechanics

[smoky dome]

ah

okay thanks

[carmine wyvern]

DMRs are better, easier follow up shots

[smoky dome]

do you know how long till the mechanics start selling army rifle repair kits?

wanna repair an M4 from a dead freedomer

[carmine wyvern]

Either Supply Level 2 or 3

You can craft it too tho

[smoky dome]

you need basic tools for it right

[carmine wyvern]

Either Basic or Advanced

[tidal raft]

Advanced.

[smoky dome]

do you need a handgun toolkit to clean a dirty barrel of a handgun or smg?

[versed tusk]

hover over the part - the appropriate kit lights up

or hover the gun itself with the mouse

[smoky dome]

I'm just confused why the "maintain parts" option doesn't show up here

[smoky dome]

okay how tf do you get past the psi anomaly in X18

are you supposed to have high psi protection in X18 already?

[scenic spade]

Hey falco u online ?

@brisk zinc im trying everything again u said yesterday it again seems to be working out full game installation is running it should not take to much time since it updated yesterday

[lunar harbor]

@tired violet I had to set the monitor in 12 bit and disable the retroillumination A.I. but is fixed now. If you wanna even more dark night I found the sweet spot for fake HDR

[scenic spade]

No game still doesnt work

[woeful gyro]

PSO-1M scope doesnt work with the AK74N?

[north turret]

Right click the gun, click details and see which scopes it can take.

[woeful gyro]

it says pso-1 scopes

[north turret]

I just started playing Anomaly 1.5.2 a few days ago, is the current build of GAMMA compatible with that one?

[versed tusk]

no

we use the exe from it, but its not yet compatible

[north turret]

So I got to wait for the next build of GAMMA?

[versed tusk]

or just use 1.5.1

[north turret]

That's a wide term. There's a few of them. As I've said, look into details. Some scopes have an eyecup, some don't and certain guns don't take them.

Lads, anybody knows why shader based 2D scope doesn't work on Howa?

It's just a regular reticle

[woeful gyro]

the scope says reticule pattern pso-1

[carmine wyvern]

Yantar Scientists

30k roubles

[north turret]

Does your the scope get highlighted when you hover your cursor over the gun?

Also is it the exact scope in the list here?

[woeful gyro]

it did in the shop when i bought it, but not when it is in my inventory

[north turret]

The gun might need an upgrade but since I am not a fan of AKs I don't really know.

[woeful gyro]

and yes, the exact scope is in the details list

[north turret]

Check the upgrade tree then. If it's a vanilla Anomaly AK then it might need an upgrade.

[woeful gyro]

gives only underbarrel mount and change of calibre

[north turret]

Show me a screenshot of the gun and the scope

[north turret]

@woeful gyro Okay, I've launched my game in debug to test. The PSO-1M that fits this gun is with an eyecup. Does your scope have an eyecup cus I can't see.

[woeful gyro]

oh hmm, is an eyecup an extra item??

[north turret]

Ohhh WAIT, I see. There's this one scope that you've got. Found it in debug.

This doesn't fit your gun

[mystic topaz]

does this feel abnormally shiny to anyone?

[woeful gyro]

so theres two pso-1m scopes?

[north turret]

You have the PSO1-1M which doesn't fit (last on the right) and you need the PSO-1M (first on the left).

[woeful gyro]

O.o aight sarge, thanks for the info

[north turret]

Yes it is. It's something with the gloss factor I believe

[versed tusk]

it is, i am looking for the console cmds rn

r2_gloss_factor 0.001

hostage stalker, ive been playing tarkov too much

where the stalker is being held hostage, also thanks for the scanner one though

[north turret]

Maybe you’ve got markers disabled in the PDA but those two Last Dawn missions don’t have them by default

[versed bane]

maybe, ill try to do what im not supposed to and look around in the mo2 stuff

[north turret]

It shouldn't be needed to do anything in MO2

[versed tusk]

its a button on your PDA

[versed bane]

what about the "deliver pda to nimble" quest, is its marker off too?

[carmine wyvern]

Did you follow the Steps in #old-how-to thoroughly?

[scenic spade]

i have played it for about 2 months

yesterday it crashed and since then it doesnt even want to load anymore falco tried to help me yesterday but it didnt work so im now completley deleting it all and reinstalling it

can i then still add in the save games so i can just continue ?

[versed tusk]

ya

[stoic moth]

Yeah just put the saved in a temp folder and put them back in your saves folder after you've reinstalled

[scenic spade]

okay thnx

[north turret]

Is it possible to run this in 4k or it will always lag?

[versed tusk]

stutters are different from low fps - what is your issue exactly?

[north turret]

My games goes down to 20 fps

[versed tusk]

Cordon/Rostock area? pretty much for everyone no matter the rig

[north turret]

all

[versed tusk]

Well then I'd say dont play 4k

[north turret]

But my fellow here can and he is fine

[versed tusk]

He's gotta tell you the secret then

i would not know

[worn moat]

I play the game at 4k, but for anomaly not to lag you have to get a good processor, it makes all the difference

I get 45-60fps depending on the map and not much stuttering but I have a ryzen 7 5800x3d

If you have an nvidia GPU just go to your nvidia panel, turn on Integer Scaling and play the game at 1080p, the image will be like native FULLHD+

and turn on FXAA otherwise the trees will drive you crazy

[worn moat]

fyi ^

[worn moat]

also make sure you disable reshade with PageUp, reshade just steals ~20fps for literally no reason

[scenic spade]

Ah its all working again 😊

[neon falcon]

Is there any way to remove the smaller stashes? (The 100kg and 200kg boxes)

Never mind, figured it out, simply click TAKE ALL while its empty

[brisk zinc]

I don't think you can buy them

[north turret]

@rare sluice, so there's good news and bad news. The quick update and fixed the issue, but I'm now seeing only 317 active mods. Should I give the Complete install button a try to see if it fixes the 9 inactive mods?

[rare sluice]

That should do it yeah

[lean meteor]

Hello, I've got a question on a matter I still find extremely confusing after a few hours into the game, namely the food and drink bars.
I seem to get the grey warning of dehydration at about half the bar, which in itself would be all fine, but it also begins to drain the health, so I have to hurry inside inventory and have a drink immediately! Is it a bug or feature?
Also a secondary question, can you drink and eat "in excess" to overfill the bar, or is it purely wasteful?

[graceful iron]

the health drain is very minimal and easy to deal with. water isnt rare or expensive

[brisk zinc]

Wait

You're probably using an old installer if you're reading Complete

[worn merlin]

I'm using version 3.7?

[brisk zinc]

You said "Complete", now it's "Full"
That's why I said that

[austere mortar]

dehidration in vanilla sucks and i assume it wasnt changed in gamma, yellow indicator starts to drain health which is ridiculous

grey one shouldnt drain anything tho

[lean meteor]

Alright, thank you guys! I suppose it's just something I'll have to live with.

[worn merlin]

Ah, I was looking at screenshots in the update guide and reading what they did, so complete was what was in my head when I replied 😂

[austere mortar]

its easy to change if u wana drag the actor_status_thirst.script from gamma here ;]

i personally changed mine to red because dying from not drinking for a few hours makes no sense

[graceful iron]

looks like gamma does rebalance thirst

gamma sleep balance

[austere mortar]

let me take a look

[austere mortar]

it only adds a random chance to die if sleep deprived
oh no wait it removes it

[graceful iron]

wat

[austere mortar]

anyway u can add these lines to make hp drain only at orange icon (or start_blur_4 for red icon)

[austere mortar]

i didnt even know that but in vanilla theres 5% chance to die when sleep is forced due to dehydration xd

in gamma its removed, thats the only change (aside of couple new functions for UI bars addon)

[graceful iron]

so thirst itself isnt changed

[austere mortar]

not in this script at least ;]

[shadow sapphire]

Probably easy question: Lost to the Zone, where/how do I start this as a loner. I can't seem to find this anywhere Sid has Legend quest, fanatic had training day. I have the CS quests from Swamp, and I have the research one for going to the anomalies. Is it gated, or do I not know how to read?

[graceful iron]

lost to the zone is the main storyline in anomaly. starts with living legend and ends with operation afterglow

[shadow sapphire]

@graceful iron so basically I don't know how to read lol. Okay thank you, I didn't realize that was the name of the overarching line.

[lean meteor]

Made this change, as suggested by xcvb, game still works, so I'll see if this fixes the issue in gameplay later. Thanks!

[shadow sapphire]

Second question teleport hot key doesn't seem to work, is it only for actual companions (i.e. doesn't work with tourist safari) or do I potentially have an issue? (Running vanilla GAMMA)

[graceful iron]

you need to enable the addon in mo2

[shadow sapphire]

Copy thank you. I had read that, but as it still showed in my keybind menu I just assumed there was another mod maybe. I'm guessing same thing for the hold alt to view item as if full quality?

[graceful iron]

no. press and hold left CTRL to see the full condition stats

[shadow sapphire]

Oh! The keybind changed. Okay thank you for answering my super nooby questions. It is seriously appreciated!

[austere mortar]

[graceful iron]

you can move them, but it depends. what do you have on desktop? both gamma and anomaly ?

[wise badge]

yea both of em

[graceful iron]

in gammaRC3 find and delete the "mods" folder > move the gamma folder to the new location
move the anomaly folder > open mo2 and check the game file path

after thats done, just run the installer as admin > update gamma data > full gamma installation

it wont redownload all addons. it will just reinstall

[brisk zinc]

My man cat I'm telling you, I have had at least two people do it, and other than having to change the exes, no one has had any problems

[graceful iron]

was it an installed gamma? or was it just a new folder ?

[brisk zinc]

Already installed GAMMA

[graceful iron]

ok. fine

[brisk zinc]

It's literally the whole purpose of the guide, be able to move GAMMA without installing it again

[graceful iron]

i will make sure to ping you next time someone gets a "file path too long" error

[brisk zinc]

Please do so

[graceful iron]

[brisk zinc]

Because in that case it will mean one thing

That you and I have always been right

I, too, am of the opinion that to make these moves, you have to delete "mods" folder, but it seems that you can avoid that

[pseudo fog]

So at risk of sounding like a parrot, I'm having framerate issues. The game ran very smoothly at first, in the rookie village, I would get 40-60 fps consistently for the last few days. But last night I loaded my save, and I'm getting 8-20 fps in rookie village out of nowhere. I've tried disabling core 0 (and I'm pretty sure I did it right? Could be wrong). I'm wondering if anyone has any idea of how/why this is happening. I'd like to avoid going through the fps optimization in favor of that sweet GAMMA graphical fidelity, but will admit defeat if that's what needs to be done. Any help is appreciated! Also, for continuity sake, I did make a new save starting in rookie village, and boom, perfect framerate.

And of course, stop me here if this isn't the place to ask

[brisk zinc]

Glad to know that I'm not the only one at this point

[graceful iron]

you can try reducing the population settings in the mcm for zcp and then deleting common squads(or sleeping a few days to see if after a while the fps goes back up), but this might be caused by some of the Alife changes grok made. i thought they were supposed to be reverted tho, but i guess not all of them

[pseudo fog]

I'll give that a try now. Do you know if that'll cause an issue if I have a ton of rando-stalker quests?

[graceful iron]

it will fail all of them. you can make a hard save before doing so

if its not the issue, you can just reload

[pseudo fog]

Oh, good point

[pseudo fog]

Also, I'm assuming that deleting common squads is a debugger thing?

[graceful iron]

yes sorry i kinda forgot to say that

its an option in the debug menu

!debug

Update, this instantly fixed my framerate problems. I'm gonna guess it was due to way too many npc's all in the same area

[graceful iron]

could be, and its probably all tied to the alife changes

make sure you have the "turn this on if you stutter" addon enabled in mo2

Just turned that on too. Thank you greatly for the help!

[dense cargo]

@pseudo fog did that fix your issues? i never had much issue in normal anomaly, but first time going to Rostok on Gamma today i was at a consistent 20-ish fps

Probably disable the transition without confirmation in MO2. If it won’t break anything

It definitely did. I was also getting low fps is Rostok for a good while before the Cordon issues, and going back after applying the fix it's a buttery smooth 60. I set the stalker population factor for ZCP in MCM from 0.4 to 0.2 in case anyone was wondering. Just keep in mind that if you have a bunch of requests going, it will fail all of them like okay_cat mentioned, and you will loose a small amount of faction goodwill

Is there any way to change durability of an item spawned in debug?

I found an exosuit and stashed it, but either I'm a dumbass and forgot where I stashed it, or it disappeared

I, obviously, don't want to spawn in something at full durability

that'd be cheating

[tired violet]

You can spawn it in, wear it in an anomaly field that has an AoE effect like heat or chemical or whatever (which passively damages your armor) and let it degrade from that. Then take it off and repair it later when you have the parts.

Or you can just spawn one in and replace all the stuff inside it before you wear it regardless of its condition. When you replace armor stuff it also changes the armor condition, unlike guns - based on the condition of the parts you use of course.

This is just an idea in case nobody answers your inquiry, which I would, but I don't know unfortunately.

[sweet vale]

Yeah, that sounds good

the armor will degrade if I have godmode?

[tired violet]

Hmm, not sure. You might just have to test it.

nah

too god damn fat

[topaz yoke]

I know old bullets despawn back into the normal versions but these VOG grenades haven't been doing that

[severe imp]

why i can't find the quest artifact?

[minor star]

From what I know, it spawns far from the marker, check the surrounding houses

[severe imp]

you're right! thanks

[shadow sapphire]

For anyone who's been playing around with it, how does the hideout stuff work. Do I just kinda pick a random building/spot in a map and can sort of assemble a base? Do I have to defend it? Will things spawn at it or is it a safe zone?

[minor star]

You can pick whatever place you want, you don't have to defend it, things will only spawn there if it's a predetermined spawn point already, otherwise nothing should spawn

[shadow sapphire]

And I'm assuming as cool as it would be it's not quite settlement building from FO4 for instance where I can make like my own camp with NPCs and the like, it's just literally hey do you have a spot that is convenient for you, but has no place to store things, no campfire or the like but want to build those things?

[minor star]

It's exactly what you described

No base building bullshit, just a small cozy place to put your things

[warped ginkgo]

no, you just can place a gas lamp, lamp, workbench, a placeable campfire but that's from another addon and the terrain needs to be valid, a radio, some stashes and nothing else i think

[shadow sapphire]

Ok thanks! That helps me prioritize it, and not feel like I would be wasting resources if I built one in south zone.

[smoky dome]

anyway to enter sidorovich's bunker as military? was surprised it was locked even tho I had 1000+ goodwill with loners so they don't shoot me on site anymore

[lyric steeple]

Bureau of Live Food Storage Mangement
BLFSM
FSM for short

[tulip ore]

so im doing the living legend quest line, and i talked to the bar keep

and it auto failed the quest? i didnt even start it yet

if anyone could help me thatd be great

Has anyone else had this issue/bug?

[sweet vale]

Is UNISG hostile to mercs?

[graceful iron]

if you are playing as UNISG, no. otherwise, they are hostile

[sweet vale]

Excellent

[tulip ore]

@graceful iron do you happen to know the solution to this?

[graceful iron]

gatekeeper either died or didnt spawn ?

[tulip ore]

Oh thats what it is?

Hoe do I go n check?

How*

[graceful iron]

he should be in army warehouses, near the barrier

[sleek delta]

hey, can logs state what killed the player?

[graceful iron]

i dont think so

[sleek delta]

I'm asking because earlier I was taking damage from an unknown source and I was left confused, this "unknown source" then proceeded to kill me

I had no rads, nobody was shooting me, not near anomalies, and my spy-health was full

[graceful iron]

thirst/hunger?

[north turret]

emission while wearing a negative psy resist artefact?

[sleek delta]

Naw, both bars were pretty much full

[sleek delta]

I wasn't equipping any artefacts, and an emission was not happening

I was however equipping 3 chimera pelts for the increased carry weight

[graceful iron]

are you sure you werent near any anomalies? the chimera pelt reduces your electro resistance significantly

so if you stand near any anomalies, you will take a lot of damage

[sleek delta]

yeah, but the thing is, my health didn't slowly drop to zero, it dropped to something like 70% and then I just dropped dead as if I tripped on a rock

[graceful iron]

damaged body parts ?

[sleek delta]

it went from 70% to 0, no warning whatsoever

also, I may have have been wearing those 3 pelts, but I was also wearing the SSP- bodysuit which give 25% electro resistance, so my resistance to electric anomalies shouldn't have been in the negatives and shouldn't have killed me so quickly

[graceful iron]

its definitely not an anomaly

[sleek delta]

my my torso was at slightly above half, but that also started dropping

[graceful iron]

you used first aid on it ?

and didnt post heal?

[sleek delta]

it got to less than half, and then suddenly 0 torso health

[sleek delta]

I did, I used I think it was a blue kit and then yadulin

[graceful iron]

can you replicate this ? it could be something with the body health system or it could be a bug. i am not sure

[tulip ore]

Also okaycat, i spawned in gate keeper and it still auto failed

[graceful iron]

did you execute his logic after spawning him?

[tulip ore]

how do i do that?

[graceful iron]

!npc

[raw raft]

Xenotech/Spirit/Peregrine/Gatekeeper is dead/probably dead/is gone and you can't find it? Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[sleek delta]

I just remembered that right before my death I was hearing that eerie mutant whispers

[tulip ore]

i just follow this?

[sleek delta]

went back to check it out, it was a karlik

but quick question

[graceful iron]

it should explain how to spawn and run their logic

[sleek delta]

besides melee and summoning, can a karlik hurt you by just being near it?

[graceful iron]

not as far as i know, but the phantoms can really damage your psy

[sleek delta]

because I was never close enough to it that it would start summoning

also, this karlik had a broken spawn, so it was stuck in place

[tulip ore]

i see how to spawn but not the logic, unless im blind

im really new to this

[terse jay]

I just did the quest where you get the gang to kill eidolan or whatever, I talked to strelok and I didn't get a quest after, am I supposed to wait? or did it bug out

[graceful iron]

i guess its not there. you spawned him using that same method mentioned? i thought he also needed the logic but i could be wrong

[tulip ore]

nah i just straight up spawned him, went back to the barkeep, got the mission

and it auto failed

but he was still on the map

oh wait i see where i might need to execute logic let me try that

[graceful iron]

you started the playthrough with storymode enabled and only the vanilla gamma addons active? nothing extra ?

[tulip ore]

aside from disabling a sleep mod n adding mutant bleeding which were all options

nah

yeah still failed even after logic stuff @graceful iron

can i somehow give myself the mission via debug?

I FIXED IT @graceful iron

his data saved as dead in my game save, so i had to do the funny ah delete that function

[lunar harbor]

@tired violet try this setting in Fake HDR ---> Radius 1 0.940 Tell me if improves your nights

[dense hearth]

hello, is digging up stashes a thing in gamma?

[tidal raft]

No. You aren't physically digging anything up.

[dense hearth]

does EAX work in game?

[wise badge]

how can i heal a certain body part like my right arm for example

[carmine wyvern]

!heal

[raw raft]

A quick video about how to basic heal yourself: #╭📖faq message

[tidal raft]

No need. There is already an OpenAL-plugin.

You can try it, but it will sound very different.

[wise badge]

thanks

[warm remnant]

So i have an interdict enemy forced mission marked on a friendly dude, first i thought that he had given me the mission, so i talked to him, that wasn't it, then i thought it might have been an enemy of their faction that had given it to me, so i quick saved and killed the dude, that failed the mission. So anyone know why "interdict enemy forces" is marked on a friendly?

[errant lichen]

Is there an easy way to disable SSR? I tried disabling the mod for it in MO2 but that just resulted in bugs.

[north turret]

Have you checked #old-framerate-optimisation? There's the first step regarding disabling shaders. I think SSS might be tied to other shaders mentioned there or just Beef's NVGs.

[dense hearth]

do companions wear armor?

[errant lichen]

Tried those steps. Same result. Water turns black but also still has SSR sometimes at the right angle.

[gusty dock]

How do I uninstall G.A.M.M.A. ? Installing this thing was quite possibly the worst decision I made this month.

[tidal raft]

Remove the installer folder, delete shaders_cache in appdata, run game from launcher, and validate game data before running.

[gusty dock]

By validate game data do you mean verifying the installed version?

[tidal raft]

From the launcher, yes.

[velvet mantle]

What is this PDA for?

Can't sell it, can't dissemble it, can't deliver it to traders.. is it mission related? I have no mission currently to deliver a PDA.

[tidal raft]

Save and reload save.

[velvet mantle]

If that was for me, I already tried that

[tidal raft]

Try reading it?

[velvet mantle]

i can't, can't equip it or drop it.

[tidal raft]

And you didn't accept a task to deliver one to Nimble?

[velvet mantle]

... I did

[tidal raft]

There you go.

[velvet mantle]

Thanks bro

[tidal raft]

You're welcome.

[marsh shuttle]

Hey guys, i realized shadows are too dark in the game but bright areas look pretty ok, how can i tweak the dark areas/shadows to be a little brighter

[tidal raft]

Change settings in MCM > Dynamic Tonemap

[gusty dock]

Thank you

[marsh shuttle]

Ty, let me try that real quick

[viscid sparrow]

Whats the minimum directx that I can use in gamma?

[versed tusk]

[velvet mantle]

are Masters and Veterans supposed to spawn in Cordon?

[pastel silo]

maybe a bounty squad?

[austere mortar]

why not

[pastel silo]

I've been hitting a difficulty spike around the Army Warehouses, without Expert tools I'm feeling pretty underequipped. Normally I wouldn't head through the Red Forest before disabling the Brain Scorcher, but should I just go North first to get access to the higher tier equipment?

[versed tusk]

AW is exactly where you should be midgame, with Advanced Tools.
I'm not sure what you mean with underequiped unless you take no time to farm up the tools you need. A proper Medium Armor, 556 or 545 AP is plenty and a huge variety of guns open up to you with the Army Rifle Kit.

as an example - this is all achieved with advanced and I'll do brainscorcher that way

[dense hearth]

Just repairs a G36c getting ready to pop some fools lol

[versed tusk]

(except the ranger mask - i was lucky in a stash)

[pastel silo]

hmmm... maybe I've just been unlucky with my armor drops, but whilst I have comparable weapons I haven't seen a suit better than like an armored SEVA, guys are just wasting me in AW

is it worth investing in artifact hunting in the midgame? Get some more DR that way?

[versed tusk]

I personally rock 2 plates in this vest exactly for Radar - If you want to hunt artis, get an ECO suit and repair it, for sure

there is no be-all-end-all until endgame so building 2-3 kits for a specific purpose is a good choice

[pastel silo]

cheers bud

[versed tusk]

as a tip tho - you can go AW > Dead City > Limansk if you feel up for the task

in Limansk you will find rly rly good gear

but its a lot of death too

Anyone know as to why this happens? A few hours ago my game was working fine

[tidal raft]

They can.

[velvet mantle]

I thought Master and Veterans only spawned far north, but I guess they sometime spawn in the south as well

[velvet mantle]

Ok, thanks

[austere mortar]

this is only possible with
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/npc-rank-based-travelling-01
but i wouldnt recommend installing it on top of modpack with many other spawn addons

[velvet mantle]

I actually thought GAMMA already had this mod

[austere mortar]

no, they are also missing all the fun when giants from pripyat decide to travel to cordon 🙁

with zcp, dynamic mutants and god knows what else - if something breaks it will be almost impossible to find the culprit, so i understand why its not here ;p

[velvet mantle]

Yea, makes sense, just wasn'tt sure if it was intended 🙂

[smoky dome]

got zoneracker quest but there is only 1 guy here and its the guy I'm supposed to leave alive

its the quest where you have to extract a spy

[versed tusk]

is he attacking you? his mates may have transitioned

[smoky dome]

oh wait, his one other squadmate was hiding in the tunnel strelok runs into in CS

nvm

[versed tusk]

haha

[smoky dome]

damn he walked out of it

shouldda blown the barrels in there before he got out

[median lagoon]

is the press control on tolltip to see max stats in a particular addon or is a gamma fix? nvm I figured it out

[brisk zinc]

[raw raft]

You'll need to delete your Anomaly folder.

1. Open your Anomaly folder, if you have any save files you want to keep, take them from this folder: Anomaly\appdata\savedgames
2. Delete your Anomaly folder
3. Extract a clean Anomaly folder (VERSION 1.5.1 BECAUSE VERSION 1.5.2 IS NOT YET SUPPORTED)
4. Run the installer as admin and make sure you have the latest version: 3.7. (If you don't have it, grab it here: #📢announcements message)
5. Update GAMMA data -> Full GAMMA installation

[honest tendon]

wheres the most south I can find advanced tools?

[carmine wyvern]

AW and Dead City have them for sure

[tidal raft]

Garbage.

[carmine wyvern]

maybe Garbage ?

[honest tendon]

no way?

had no idea

[shadow sapphire]

I have gotten them in garbarge, agro, or dark valley before

you can get them pretty south.

[honest tendon]

fantastic, thanks

[shadow sapphire]

worst case, if you get 5 extra basic toolkits you can just craft them

[honest tendon]

very true

[carmine wyvern]

at red forest and northbound is where you CAN find Experts

are Calibration Tools still in the game ?

[honest tendon]

oh yeah, i usually farm until i get the easy stash at the red forest tunnel campfire, and then hope for experts

[versed tusk]

not that i've seen Vex

[shadow sapphire]

Nor I

[carmine wyvern]

guess they are not existent due to item bloat then

or not enough ideas what crafts they could unlock

[shadow sapphire]

To my knowledge its down to simply the 3 base, gun smithing, and drug making

oh and artifact melter

[carmine wyvern]

fine by me, i would also be fine with a even higher tier of crafting tho

the fact that all the recipes for the craftable devices are already unlocked is a little bit sad, cuz killing stalkers for the recipe sheets was pretty dope

[shadow sapphire]

Question for those with more knowledge of how shaders work: I seem to get pretty bad stutter/fps drop around campfires and certain anomalies (not sure which ones or it might just be if there are a maybe too many anomalies in one small area) I do not want to disable all shaders as my performance everywhere else is totally fine. Am I able to adjust certain in game settings to maybe fix this, is there a known fix, or is the option just accept it, or turn off the shaders? (In case its asked I have a decent PC GTX 2080, 32gb DDR4, and i7 9700k, yes the game is on SSD)
