...man

High tier locations

[north turret]

thank u guys idk what exactly fixed it from the AMD thing cuz i did everything it said but my game works now

[brisk zinc]

You mean "where can I find expert tools"?

I'm trying to understand what you want exactly

There are literally five tool kits in GAMMA, five

[opal nexus]

if u look at those maps i made, those locations are in the wide open, and not INSIDE stashes. they can potentially spawn toolkits/ and repair kits

[graceful iron]

they are more randomized instead

[brisk zinc]

Oh thank you cat

Jesus I thought it was obvious

[graceful iron]

you cant get a 100% toolkit from those spawns anymore

[opal nexus]

it was never 100%

but alright thanks

[graceful iron]

it was a high chance

[opal nexus]

so its not toally pointless to keep looking?

[brisk zinc]

It's randomized

Literally RNG

[opal nexus]

might be there then nice

ty

[graceful iron]

you can still find useful items

[brisk zinc]

I don't know in what world "random" means "might be there" but okay

I mean yeah sure like there is a CHANCE, A SLIM POSSIBILITY that you'll actually find stuff there

But again, it's random

It's not sure 100%

[stoic moth]

Does anyone know if the suppressor buff also affects internally suppressed guns?

[opal nexus]

i meant something like this - toolkit location

[lunar harbor]

Dumb and Dumber "You're telling me there's a chance"

[brisk zinc]

Aaah stuff in the world

Not inside stashes

[opal nexus]

...

i specified, not stashes

[brisk zinc]

Man my english is bad

[opal nexus]

in area maps

[brisk zinc]

But your question was everything BUT that

[opal nexus]

i called them High tier locations spawns for a reason. they are not stashes

dnno what else to call them

[graceful iron]

i believe it doesnt. grok does mention that he buffed some of the low tier 9x39 integrally suppressed weapons in the changelog #📢announcements but no specifics about all integral suppressors in general

[brisk zinc]

You literally asked here, finally, a well written question, and yes I didn't read that, so it's also my bad in this case

High tier locations is literally a thing you can understand, not us

[opal nexus]

well i guess not everyone knows about that

i posted the maps though. its explained

thats why i made them

[brisk zinc]

Had you directly asked "is there a chance to find this specific stuff OUTSIDE the stashes?" it would have been different and easier for everyone

This is only about toolkits

[opal nexus]

ah ok sorry..

[brisk zinc]

Not stuff outside the stashes

Again don't get me wrong I know I sound rude, not my intention

I'm just trying to let you understand the whole picture

Tool kits and repair kits are basically inside stashes

It's a thing about GAMMA, after hours and hours of gameplay it get stuck in your head

[opal nexus]

i actually explained stuff on a reddit post so u are right its not explicatory

its confusing

the post is missing i didnt think of that

[brisk zinc]

The last thing I thought of was just what you wanted, "stuff OUTSIDE of the stashes"

[opal nexus]

yes.. out of stashes exactly

[brisk zinc]

You learned something new today as well

[opal nexus]

so.. they are random in gamma :) correct?

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron Correct me if I'm wrong but tool kits and repair kits don't spawn IN THE GAME WORLD, right?
They can only spawn inside stashes

It was like that, like, in RC1? Maybe RC2?

[opal nexus]

perfect! i wont be looking around then

[brisk zinc]

Wait for cat's answer

He knows better

[graceful iron]

they do, but you cant find advanced tools in cordon, basically following the same logic as stashes

[opal nexus]

go up north. yes

[brisk zinc]

So I GUESS he can follow that map, right?

[graceful iron]

and i believe its a really low chance for toolkits and repair kits, if repair kits spawn at all

[opal nexus]

thanks 👍

it was important for me, the way i play

[graceful iron]

yes, the spawns are still there. just way lower chances for anything actually meaningful

[brisk zinc]

You're seriously better of with stashes

Like cat said, at this point, if you want, go there and check

But don't expect to find them

Stashes are basically a 100% chance (if RNG is on your side)

[opal nexus]

of course i already did and found just a walkie talkie

[grizzled hornet]

how the hell do you cancel the full gamma installation?

[brisk zinc]

Close the installer, you can use task manager

[grizzled hornet]

i cant

[brisk zinc]

You can use task manager, come on

I don't believe that

[grizzled hornet]

hold up

oh well

it worked

[brisk zinc]

Of course it worked

[graceful iron]

@brisk zinc @opal nexus my own curiosity and just to make sure, gamma dynamic loot balance seems to have the configs for these loot spots. you can take a look yourself to see what can spawn

[opal nexus]

nice ty

[austere scaffold]

I turned off all 3 mods listed in the "faq" on how to sleep whenever you want, I haven't touched the deprivation options but my character still says that he's not tired yet. Possible fix?

[tidal raft]

Correct.

[graceful iron]

they dont?

what did i read in the config

[brisk zinc]

War between titans

🍿

[mystic finch]

where would be the best place to put the chatty companions mod?

[graceful iron]

please, explain. i am genuinely not sure about most of what i said, thats why i searched for the addon responsible of these spots to check

[brisk zinc]

Bottom of the mod list

[mystic finch]

ok thank you

[north turret]

Do you have to install BaS and dux's ICK stuff manually?

[graceful iron]

no

after downloading them, just put them in gammaRC3/downloads

#old-how-to then continue with the installation

[north turret]

Ok

[drifting oxide]

So is Sidorovich back?

[brisk zinc]

Update

[shadow sapphire]

You shoulda seen my face when I realized and grok confirmed it was a bug, and the people you and I thought were just murdering poor scammovich were actually doing it accidentally and not trolling us.

[brisk zinc]

You can't murder him, literally

He's a talking chest, he's not even human

[drifting oxide]

I did before work. He was not back when I checked then. My question I guess is... should he be back after update or do I need to spawn him back in? Or did update made it so he won't disappear again after I restart

[shadow sapphire]

You can either a) spawn him in, or b) new game, up to you. The update just makes him not disappear agian.

[brisk zinc]

Back after the update

[graceful iron]

the update doesnt bring him back. just fixes the disappearing so it doesnt happen again

[shadow sapphire]

o.0? How?

[cursive jackal]

Question for you guys, can your limbs take damage just randomly or am I missing something?

[graceful iron]

no, they cant

[brisk zinc]

Ah rip, I've read that wrong, my bad

[shadow sapphire]

ffs. I blew out some of my progress testing yacs.

[drifting oxide]

@shadow sapphire I was trying to spawn him with debug on and f7>2 but his is NOT a stalker_default_trader

[graceful iron]

was your torso damaged and filled with a yellow HP bar (first aid) ?

[shadow sapphire]

Its not default no

[blazing basin]

Would anyone know which file and parameter to modify to change the endurance gain rate?

[shadow sapphire]

Let me get his code, unless @brisk zinc is it in the npc command?

[brisk zinc]

!npc

[raw raft]

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

[brisk zinc]

Nope

[shadow sapphire]

ill pull the ID and get it for you @drifting oxide

[drifting oxide]

CHeers. I was thinking of digging up my old edits of anomaly to find it but if you have an easier access I would appreciate it.

[cursive jackal]

yeah

[shadow sapphire]

should be either esc_m_trader or m_trader

[drifting oxide]

I'll try that @shadow sapphire thanks.

[graceful iron]

when the torso loses its temp HP other limbs can take damage. the problem is that we dont even know if this is intended or not

[shadow sapphire]

Make sure you are looking at his chair when you do it.

[cursive jackal]

Yikes, ok. noted.

[shadow sapphire]

o.0 I didnt know that was a thing. Granted I always keep torso topped up as it can kill you and biggest area, but dang.

[drifting oxide]

Looking at it right now. I use "Spawn by section" right?

[shadow sapphire]

yes

[hoary cedar]

does anyone know what are these grass textures used in gamma?

[drifting oxide]

@shadow sapphire something spawned in the floor just behind the chair... hmmm

[plush dawn]

wtf
loner with sawn off shotgun did a rampage at ecos base at yantar

[knotty storm]

Is there any good stuff in the labs ? Or it's not worth going into without a mission

[drifting oxide]

A screw it. I will restart. Won't loos that much and maybe will avoid one of that lucky shots that bandit got on me.

[graceful iron]

they can have high tier artefacts after emissions and they can have some of the rare mutants like controllers and burers but thats all. the random breakable crates are nothing special

[knotty storm]

ah ok

thanks

[graceful iron]

i believe its gardener of the zone grass textures

[hoary cedar]

alright, thanks!

[drifting oxide]

Can someone clarify for me (I think I saw it in manual, but don't want to read through it second time), that we shouldn't select option "saves only at campfire"? I though I saw info that it is integrated in a much neater way by some mod.

[high remnant]

yes, yacs campfire saves mod

[graceful iron]

gamma includes an addon called "yet another campfire saving" or YACS. it allows you to save next to lit campfires and in friendly and neutral bases

[drifting oxide]

Is that on by default?

[graceful iron]

yes

if its allowing you to save everywhere or not allowing you to save at all, make sure to update #📢development those bugs were fixed

[drifting oxide]

Thanks

[graceful iron]

@brisk zinc did the last fix break something else with YACS ?

[brisk zinc]

Not that I know of

I'm having a strange bug right now but I think it's fixable

[shadow sapphire]

I just tested in a bit ago, seems functioning normally for me on build 596

[worthy root]

!warning

[raw raft]

This is a general DON'TS about what you can't do with G.A.M.M.A., just to easily avoid problems:

• NEVER extract Anomaly AND G.A.M.M.A. in Desktop, Download, Program Files and/or Program Files (x86). Anomaly and GAMMA must be in TWO DIFFERENT FOLDERS. Installing them together in one singular folder WILL result in problems.
  You can have something like this directly in the root of your hard drive/SSD:
  C:\Anomaly
  C:\G.A.M.M.A. RC3
  THIS IS AN EXAMPLE, you can use whatever drive you want or create multiple folders, you can even have Anomaly in C: and G.A.M.M.A. in D:, AS LONG AS EVERYTHING IS SEPARATED.

• KEEP IN MIND AND REMEMBER that performing many Complete G.A.M.M.A. installation WILL GET YOU FLAGGED AS A BOT BY Moddb FOR AT LEAST 1 HOUR.
  You can check if you’re blocked by simply check the command window the installer open, if you see a bunch of errors that never stops, **maybe **you’re blocked. Check also your mod list as well, it's full of red crosses? It's another sign that you are blocked.
  You can be 100% sure by going on Moddb, you simply need to open the site, if you're blocked, you'll know it instantly.

• Make sure you're using the latest installer (Version 3.6) that you can get in #📢announcements and make sure to open it with admin rights.

• WARFARE ISN'T SUPPORTED, USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. Don't report bugs if you want to use it.

[merry agate]

Hello, do i something wrong? i would update my game (mean the new gamma update) but i saved my .ltx file and i rename the file in den mod launcher, but in the manual it called after the update i find 2 mods, one that i rename and the other mod that is not renamed and then i have too just keep the renominate one, but i see only the mod that called "remame too keep your personal changes" sorry for my english...anyone can help me please?

[shadow sapphire]

Where you updating from 1.5.1 Anomaly/Gamma to 1.5.2 Anomaly/Gamma?

[merry agate]

i update all 2 days ago 😄 but grok has post last night it gives a new update, so i want it now and i want keep my settings and mod settings, so i do this:

!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

[merry agate]

but i see only 1 mod in the mod launcher, not my file that i renamed before i updated

[peak skiff]

hello everyone, im stuck inside a fence, cant move at all and last save is an hour ago, is there any way to get unstuck?

[shadow sapphire]

num 0 + enter

[shadow sapphire]

Hmm that is strange. To be honest I myself do not ever use backups, as I just play the default list. @brisk zinc might be able to help you.

[merry agate]

i do a lot changes in my mods, and i like update the game for the new changes and fixes, so i dont want change all my configs everytime^^

[peak skiff]

that doesnt seem to do anything :(

[shadow sapphire]

Do you have debug enabled?

[peak skiff]

default installation

[shadow sapphire]

Fair, and understandable! I just do not know much about what can go wrong in that process since I dont use it.

[shadow sapphire]

Great! do you have debug mode enabled?

[peak skiff]

how do i check that? probably not if its not active by default

[shadow sapphire]

Ok. Follow this:

!debug

[raw raft]

How to enable debug mode: #╭📖faq message

[shadow sapphire]

And then num 0 + Enter will put you into no clip

Alternatively, you can fast travel and should be fine

[brisk zinc]

Only num 0

Enter is for "landing"

[shadow sapphire]

Oops yeah. Thanks!

[merry agate]

@brisk zinc can you help me? post my problem a couple minutes ago in this channel

[peak skiff]

got it, thanks!!

[brisk zinc]

I saw that, the guide works and I'm sure of it

Check better in your mod list

[shadow sapphire]

Can you not write replies like this when I am mid sip of my drink?

[merry agate]

so all what i have to do is rename this right? i delete the " rename to keep your personal changes" right? not more? and when i update this renamed file and the old file that has "rename to keep bla bla bla" is there again and i delete the old file right?

[high remnant]

correct

[brisk zinc]

Yes

Rename the mod as "G.A.M.M.A. MCM values"

And remove the rest

From the next update, you'll have two mods

GAMMA blablabla changed by you
GAMMA blablabla with the normal name

[merry agate]

ahhh i see, i try too rename it again and now it say me i have a file with the same name, when i search the file i find it in in 261 and it is not active

sorry my bad

so now delete the old one and activate my renamed file?

[brisk zinc]

You can leave it there, don't worry

Disable it

And enable your renominated mod

You don't have to delete it because every time you update, that mod gets downloaded again, so at this point you can just disabled it

[merry agate]

ok thank you, its a info that the guide need i think^^ i have not think i find the mod not activate, have think the launcher show me both...yeah stupid i know^^

[ebon gorge]

I've noticed something weird.. after updating gamma to the lastest version, campfire mode is disabled. How can I enable it again?

In an existing save

[mystic finch]

I tried out the chatty companions mod and got this crash after a while what does it mean exactly?

[brisk zinc]

Don't use multiple channel for the same question please

The mod is bugged, @rare sluice need to look at it and see what's wrong

[mystic finch]

Yeah I'm not going to use it for the time being

[mystic finch]

sorry I didn't exactly know where to post this

[ebon gorge]

I updated again and now it works

[dull surge]

there is loot table for the patches turning in that i can check? That Aslan bastard kept giving me Advanced toolkit or 45 pistol that i dont really need for 30 monolith patches

andddddd he gave me basic toolkit in next load

[mystic finch]

it's called a patch lottery so pretty sure there is an element of rng to it

[dull surge]

Do he even give out actual rifle or armor?

[stable stag]

Nah. just a couple of smg and pistol. The artifacts are best reward

3 empty for example

[brisk zinc]

Okay I'm going crazy, this fucking quest doesn't update

The thing is literally there

Do I have to do something else?

[dull surge]

all of this for horrific Limansk run i had

[buoyant stump]

2 questions, heart of oasis spawns normally on the oasis right? does it respawn at all later on? and the other is if 9x21 is nerfed cause I remember it doing more flesh dmg

[brisk zinc]

Yes
I don't know
I don't know

[buoyant stump]

thanks dad

[dull surge]

after 10 reload or so, he finally give me something other than toolkit and 45 pistol, its MP7.... i think i will take that... still wanna know the loot table for that

[brisk zinc]

Fuck it, I'm gonna fail it, this is why I don't do stuff for Ecologist

[stable stag]

Someone at some point did post results of giving in like 500 patches, but I cant find it via search

[buoyant stump]

just curious do u guys play with debug on

[stable stag]

No downside unless u playing for invictus

[rotund sun]

has anyone ever experienced turning in several quests and having your rank not increase at all for like an hour. Normally rank increase can be delayed but ive never had it completely freeze before

[brisk zinc]

From RC1

[rare sluice]

fixed

[stone wolf]

are very poor weapon parts useful for anything? or should i just chuck them

[wet haven]

Russian translation, here you go.

[brisk zinc]

Chuck them
Keep only 60% parts

[rare sluice]

Holy shit you want coauthorship?

[wet haven]

Nah, don't bother. I'm translating things here and there. Mentioning is enough if you feel like it

[rare sluice]

Whatever you want boss

[dull surge]

there is downside... you get me eyeballing you in sheer disappointment

[solemn fractal]

Is the message spam fixed as well?

[rare sluice]

When does it spam?

Like what conditions (enemy, anomaly etc)

[solemn fractal]

When spotting enemies, i just saw a couple people bringing it up in #╙🖇mods-making-discussion

[rare sluice]

Not yet, trying to figure out what went wrong. But for now it shouldn't crash the game

[north turret]

how do i stop radiation from building up

i've drunk 2 bottles of vodka

it keeps coming back

[solemn fractal]

Do you have radioactive artefacts in your inventory @north turret

[north turret]

possibly but i cant see it

I did pick up an artifact but i cant see it in my inventory

[brisk zinc]

It could be a bug then

Do you remember what artefact it was?

[north turret]

the jellyfish one

from the starting quest

with fanatic

[buoyant stump]

what is the quest that makes you go to radar again?

[stiff bay]

@brisk zinc Could you share or DM me the alife.ltx from Gamma's gamedata?

[drifting oxide]

I have a question about the RF reciver. I have it in my inventory. I even have it in the slot, but the Anonymous is still telling me "the sooner you get RF the sooner we can help you out"

Isn't he suppose to give me frequency?

[carmine wyvern]

Is there a way to enable god mode?

Kinda fucked myself a bit :/

[versed tusk]

f7 > g

[versed tusk]

haver you tried equipping it?

[carmine wyvern]

Guess I need to enable debug for that

[drifting oxide]

@versed tusk I did, but the manual say that I should get frequency in the message. I even tried checking the whole range. Nothing

[versed tusk]

iirc you need enough goodwill too with a faction

[versed tusk]

ye

[lethal shell]

Hey, im having the exact same problem. Does anyone know what (mod maybe) is causing these values to reset after a few seconds? And can this be toggled off so i can manually set the light settings?

[lethal shell]

im not sure on this, since i never really did this. but he randomly sends me some frequencies and locations. i had equipped the rf receiver first and then it took a while for him to contact me and tell me those frequencies. so i would just wait a while...? idk

so i equipped it once, and then never again. and he sometimes tells me about the frequencies in chat messages

[drifting oxide]

@lethal shell I start to suspect that it activates when I am actually NEAR the spot in the first place.

[lethal shell]

i dont think so. i was in cordon when he told me about a spot in darkscape

[drifting oxide]

Hmmm @lethal shell then it must be random spawn and then info. Oh well. When it comes it comes then

[north turret]

How do I fix the glitch? Everytime I pick up the jellyfish artifact it isnt in my inventory and i keep becoming radioactive

[drifting oxide]

@lethal shell Well I just got some frequency with a job from random Stalker...

[pearl prism]

Hi,
one of my quest NPCs (Professor Chernov from the researchers questline) died before I could get to him in the Questline. I respawned him at his usual poition and applied his logic back to him. Now when i get the quest to meet him, it instantly fails. If I try tro complete the quest in debug mode, nothing happens. Does anybody know what else I can do to continue the questline?

[versed tusk]

thats one for @molten mason

(excuse the ping but you know this shit the best)

[lethal shell]

i just found it out myself. if anyone is still wondering: disable "dynamic tonemap" mod in MO2

[molten mason]

[molten mason]

1 sec

Is it the mission for meet this other nerd ?

[pearl prism]

Yes, its the mission you get when you finish the quests for one nerd and he sends you of to the next one

[molten mason]

Yeah the other is prob also dead

[pearl prism]

No, the one I get the quest from to meet the one who died is alive

Or which one do you mean?

[molten mason]

Ok chernov died and you revived him ok?

[pearl prism]

yes

[molten mason]

He's the one at AW?

[pearl prism]

Correct

[molten mason]

And the quest to meet pigorov instal fails

[pearl prism]

no, pigorov is the one who sends me to AW. And the quest to meet chernov (the on at AW) instantly fails

[molten mason]

Ooooh

Give 1 sec while I finish eating

[pearl prism]

Oh sorry, yeah take your time

[molten mason]

db.actor:disable_info_portion("ah_chernov_dead")
try this on the function executor
Before accepting his quest

[pearl prism]

kk, I try

worked

[molten mason]

👍

[pearl prism]

What did this do? Did it delete the info that he was dead in the db?

[molten mason]

Well special npcs have a special variable for dead or not

This just ignores it

[pearl prism]

Ah I see, thx for the help 😄

[versed tusk]

cheers and sry for the ping again

[molten mason]

Np

Otherwise I wouldn't have seen it

[north turret]

I’m trying to trade a piece of gear to Olivius but when I click any of the options it just returns me to his first dialogue box, no transaction or anything like that. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

[graceful rover]

arte there documents or other stuff in the lab with the prototype id want to take with me?

[frigid plinth]

Is there any trader that sells guns/armor? I've been looking for some time and still couldnt find anything (Sorry if it's answered elsewhere)

[graceful rover]

the one in zaton

[north turret]

is your trade of the correct type? does your faction have an equivalent to that armor?
and do you have enough money to cover the cost?

[molten mason]

some armor pieces cant be traded
what do you have ?

[molten mason]

none should sell armors nor weapons

you can however trade for your own factions gear

you still need to fix it

[north turret]

no, and that is intentional
you can only gain weapons and armor via looting stalkers and stashes, and then repairing them

[versed tusk]

fast answer: no
Long answer #│📚manual

!apart

[raw raft]

Text guides about repairing, mantaining and cleaning your gun and your armor:

For weapons: #╭📖faq message
For armors: #╭📖faq message

[prime chasm]

can someone explain the handling weapon stat to me ? i dont get how it differs from recoil...

the wiki says this Handling

Handling defines how fast the weapon's crosshairs will center in-between shots.

Weapons with higher handling ratings allow their crosshairs to center back faster, easily allowing them to do follow-up shots with better accuracy.

This goes hand in hand with accuracy and automatic fire.
Recoil

Recoil defines how hard the weapon will displace and shake around the screen while firing, due to the explosion of gas and force discharged out the barrel every time a bullet is fired.

A lower recoil rating ensures that weapons will not kick around too much when firing at a rapid pace.

[frigid plinth]

Got it, thanks guys!

[versed tusk]

according to the info: recoil determines how far it deviates, handling how fast it resets

[molten mason]

to put it simply recoil determines how far the aimpoint gets thrown around
handling is how fast it ceros down

[prime chasm]

any recomendations on that in practice ? so if you could choose between one of the two ? lets say for an smg

[versed tusk]

i barely do handling when it comes to upgrades, i prefer reliability

as i mostly use single fire

[prime chasm]

reliability is just to prevent jams isnt it ?

[pearl prism]

I usually prefer handling on my snipers, because recoil doesn't really matter to me there

[versed tusk]

degradation of the gun, so less repairs over time

ye, handling on a sniper is a good choice

smgs rather firerate because that close, it matters more

smgs are pretty much the only gun i use full auto

panic mode brrt

[prime chasm]

well i guess less recoil would be better than for noscope panic spraying maybe...

how about mid range autos ?

like an ak

[molten mason]

the ak105 has both good recoil + handling so its a lead laser

[pearl prism]

Yeah, I use the AR-15 HERA atm. almost no recoil and a high handling stat

[molten mason]

hera has a weird bounce to it tho

but thats not a stat issue

[versed tusk]

Howa for me, but again - mid to long range dmr style so i care more about flatness and accuracy rn

[prime chasm]

no no thanks for the recomendations but i mean which stat should i upgrade if i have the choice between recoil and handling forget about the others

[molten mason]

whats the lowest ?

[prime chasm]

i have no specific example right now

[molten mason]

on a fast rpm rifle i would prefer less recoil

[prime chasm]

mhm yeah... and than handling more for like an sks for example ....that would make sense

[molten mason]

on the sks yeah handling because you can fire at your own pace

[prime chasm]

hey one more thing....the reliability stat...does it also affect gun part condition or just the overall condition?

[versed tusk]

gun condition, that then determines part degradation

[prime chasm]

ok thx guys that was helpful

[versed tusk]

[wooden zodiac]

Update from yesterday. I had to reinstall several times to get it to finally work. After following instructions and making sure my virus protection was off I seem to have finally gotten it to work. A few notes that maybe should be put in the install tutorial if they are not already there (I don't remember I have watched so many videos and read so many articles) make sure to use 7 zip, make sure to have 2 seperate folders for gamma and anomaly, make sure said folders are not in downloads, put them in regular folders not in downloads. MAKE SURE MAKE SURE MAKE SURE virus protection is turned OFF. I had trouble downloading all the files when it turned back on by accident. For now it is working lets hope it stays that way.

[dense pawn]

What's the best way to get away with killing Bandits as Merc? So I can do quests and not disappoint my faction leaders, since I need to grind for that supply.

[north turret]

I think I’ll just have to wait for a bandit with nicer armor to die so I can take his suit and run with it. In the meantime I’ve just patched up the military suit and am gonna wear it

[neat rover]

Hey, quick question about the artifact melter, in order to empower/create new artifacts do you need to find a recipe?

I'm only able to combine 2 of the same type to refill them, but when I try to craft an artifact they're all greyed out.

[wooden zodiac]

Ok maybe I didnt fix it...

is it supposed to be this shiny? Its not nearly as bad as it was but..

[versed tusk]

try this in the console
r2_gloss_factor 0.001
r2_gloss_min 0.5

[median lagoon]

any idea where I can farm mercenary exos?

[versed tusk]

tried Limansk?

[median lagoon]

once for questing but it was a while ago, isn't full of monolita there?

[wooden zodiac]

@versed tusk ah hell yeah you the man dude!

[solemn fractal]

has anyone else run into a problem with hip's quest? i can't get her the shotgun she asked for, there's no dialogue even though i have both it and the ammo

[versed tusk]

the southern part is full of mercs, then Mono - so best gear in the zone

[wooden zodiac]

I been trying to make this game work for legit the past day and a half non stop nearly.

thank you

[versed tusk]

[median lagoon]

ok cool, I always found that map quite fun

[lunar harbor]

guys is 5,45x39 AP the best caliber overall for a rifle?

[neat rover]

Okay so is artifact crafting working as intended?

Im reading the manual but attempting to craft artifacts just shows the crafting menu with all artifacts greyed out

Anyone else see the same when using the artifact melter or is it just me?

[lunar harbor]

i Just crafted a bunch of artifacts

i just restart lemme double check

[neat rover]

No recipes or anything needed, just right click the melter and use the crafting menu, right?

[lunar harbor]

it does work me. Tested using directly the melter and placing it into the workshop stash

[neat rover]

dang.

[lunar harbor]

did you update the game to 1.5.2?

[carmine wyvern]

Not even by a long shot

[neat rover]

you mean anomaly? I think Im on 1.5.1

[lunar harbor]

so the chart description that appears hovering the ballistic defense is wrong?

[versed tusk]

!152

[raw raft]

In order to update your Anomaly 1.5.1 to 1.5.2, follow this:

1. Download the 1.5.2 update: (https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/downloads/stalker-anomaly-151-to-152)
2. Extract the update into the root of your Anomaly folder
3. Overwrite everything when asked to do so
4. Open the installer with admin rights
5. Click on Update GAMMA data -> Full GAMMA Installation

[carmine wyvern]

There are way better rounds AP wise

308 and 7.62x54R blow 5.45 out of the Water

[terse sun]

just for curiosity sake, which gpu are you using?

[neat rover]

Gonna try with the update I guess, hope it doesn't break my save

[versed tusk]

it does not

most people here have done it and are playing just fine

[wooden zodiac]

@terse sun Nvidia 1080

[lunar harbor]

@carmine wyvern i'm just reading Class III 5.56.45 AP, Class IV 5.45.39 AP

[carmine wyvern]

Yeah but 308 AP and 7.62x54R have class V or even above

[lunar harbor]

ok, but those are expensive. I've a deer hunter with 338 ap. I'm looking for a good overall caliber for a Rifle. I'm using an AK alpha now, but I found ak 12 monolith

[dense pawn]

Also to get Dushman to like me, do I have to wait for that important quest where I meet that one guy to start grinding relations with him?

[lunar harbor]

so I was wondering. I'm trying to differenciate the weapons by the powder. Blue --> Shotgun, Green ---> Rifle, Red --->Sniper

[river forge]

I turned off Outfits Affect Movement speed because I was moving like sonic at the start of the game

Is that meant to occur or were the values for OAMS just messed with somehow?

[north turret]

Actually it’s all good. Lightweight starter outfits have better speed than compared to other suits. The radiation suit if that what’s it called has awful speed of 90%. All in all it’s balanced pretty fine.

[river forge]

Alright I was just wondering

I also had the skill system disabled so maybe that affected starting speed

[north turret]

Hm, could be because it has a skill related to speed.

[versed tusk]

iirc one of the skills does ya

[river forge]

Alright

[versed tusk]

overall, its good balance to let light builds be more nimble than a nosorog user

but it's def faster than vanilla anomaly

[river forge]

Is the skill system any good by the way? I disabled it because it seems too “arcadey”, I’d rather not magically get more damage resistance because I microdosed bullets

[versed tusk]

its very fair balanced - i slowly reach max lvl after 120 hours

[river forge]

Alright then

[versed tusk]

and not with all skills

and it's very small bonuses

[north turret]

And it also has halved bonuses as well from what I read here. So you won’t be a superman at max level.

[solemn fractal]

so i've found the issue, it's the quest rewrite that breaks the dialogue

[carmine wyvern]

Finally crafted myself the heavy repair kit

The one with Advanced Tool

Does it make a different in Dynamic Relations if I attack first or get attacked first?

[north turret]

are there any quests that require you to give said person a gunsmithing kit?
i know tools are for technicians and drug making kits are for medics

[carmine wyvern]

Nope

Gunsmith Kit is only for the player

[north turret]

fuck sake i got like fucking 6 of them idk what to do with them

[neat rover]

aaaand it crashes on load

[terse sun]

any idea where forester went? Yesterday I saved in his house and he was there, then today I load that game and he's gone, not even on the map as an important character, as if he was somehow killed

[lyric steeple]

make sure you update gamma too. But im completely updated, and my save is still going just fine! 🙂

[neat rover]

Yeah I did update gamma, the game works fine if I make a new save but my previous one just crashes

worst case scenario I guess I could just cheat myself back to where I was, I just want to see if addons work correctly now

trying to get an artifact melter

[versed tusk]

post the log again to see what happens

i might not be able to fully read it, but someone will

[lyric steeple]

how many mods are active @neat rover

i know there have been some mods that have needed to be slapped around a little in modorg

[neat rover]

Oh, my save wasn't 100% default, I had fiddled around with some settings and even added 2 minor addons

guess there's my reason it wont load

[lyric steeple]

did you have the mag stuff added?

[neat rover]

I added "bleeding mutants", "npc cannot see through foliage" and "Toggle this if you stutter" from the gamma list, and added 2 addons, "NPC die in anomalies" and a mod that disabled repair kits needed to replace parts

I tried to re-create this after updating, no luck

[lyric steeple]

😦 lame

[neat rover]

I probably shouldn't ask for much help in this channel since its not vanilla anyways

[halcyon tapir]

Does anyone know if weapon/armor condition affects companions? I can't tell. Their equipment seems to degrade, but not sure if a 0% gun (as an example) is still useable by them or not to deal damage.

[versed tusk]

post the log regardless

[neat rover]

where can I find it?

[versed tusk]

!crash

[raw raft]

Send your crash log here, it's inside your Anomaly folder, this is the complete path: Anomaly/appdata/logs. Send the file called xray_yournamehere.txt, you just need to drag and drop the file here, Discord will handle it for you.
Make sure you're not using any extra mods.

[lyric steeple]

#🔨modded-gamma-support might be best

[versed tusk]

and this ya

[neat rover]

alright, thanks, I posted the log in the correct channel

[brisk zinc]

Only the weapon condition, yes

[halcyon tapir]

so they can use even a 0% condition gun (won't jam) but their damage will take a huge hit

[lyric steeple]

this is super good to know... and explains a few things

[terse sun]

huh, so 7.62x39 is actually better in this modpack then 5.45x39

v3ry c00l

[lyric steeple]

!linux

[raw raft]

How to make G.A.M.M.A. work with Linux: #╭📖faq message

[lunar harbor]

how do you use the addon to clear your companions inventory?

[brisk zinc]

Enable it

Talk with your companion

[lunar harbor]

so the "wheel command" doesn t work with it?

[brisk zinc]

The wheel command works as well

But you need to be close

The inventory will open

[lunar harbor]

even if I take all the stuff Hip is carrying, if I kill her I found more stuff. Also I can t take her main weapon, is like hidden till, again, I kill her

[brisk zinc]

MCM settings in game

[lunar harbor]

this appear if I activate the addon or is in vanilla already?

[worthy slate]

Hey whats a good shotgun?

I'm sick of mutants taking a bunch of 7.62

[lunar harbor]

@worthy slate I'm using the "nerd". 6 shoot, triple burst

[terse sun]

nerd saiga is super cool, dushman saiga is the better version with half the recoil but honestly, I'm using nerd and I don't find it particularly recoil-ish

[worthy slate]

I'm kinda still in the early-mid game

[terse sun]

then anything that has a pump action type of shooting is a good one

[worthy slate]

afaik i have a suppresed remington somewhere

[lunar harbor]

@terse sun I've an exo but I never found the dushman lol

[terse sun]

I just dropped it now when I attacked the merc base in zaton

and I'm still waiting to drop friggin expert tools :/

[lunar harbor]

I guess I'll visit them again. they dropped an exo and ak alpha till now

[lunar harbor]

gl with that

[terse sun]

so the EOTS 62 scop is supposed to have target recognition system - how do you enable it?

[lunar harbor]

I didn t even knew about

[terse sun]

it says it in the description (that's probably why it costs like 52k RU or something), but when I spot a monolith in front of me nothing happens

[versed tusk]

its just flavor text

[lunar harbor]

try holding L or M maybe

[terse sun]

damn

[lunar harbor]

ah D:

[terse sun]

would be so cool to have something like the SVD lynx with thermal view and stuff

[grim marsh]

i have a question, i started a new game and when i try to open my pda it comes up but says on it FATAL ERROR: internal memory corruption dtected, what is that about?

[brisk zinc]

You enabled something somewhere

I don't remember where now

But you did

[grim marsh]

was it the broken pda box i ticked, i thought it just meant i would find them around

[buoyant stump]

radar or limansk for farming monolith?

[tidal raft]

Don't enable it.

[terse sun]

radar 100%

[grim marsh]

okay, appreciate it, thanks

[brisk zinc]

Yes, don't enable it

[buoyant stump]

thanks

[warped ginkgo]

Do not enable it

[gleaming granite]

Out of curiosity, is Lab X-18 not supposed to have soldiers spawn in GAMMA?

Just got the bio report no problem, and just simply walked out with no resistance

[finite sail]

hey i have a small question im trying to make my own radio playlist and i was wondering if the ingame radio shuffles songs or does it play in alphabetical order?

[neat rover]

to follow up on my case, I identified the reason it crashes on my previous save and now on my current new save

its this same error

installed 1.5.2 and hit full install on the gamma updater

looting a stash that seems to contain a suit causes a crash now

[brisk zinc]

!crash

[raw raft]

Send your crash log here, it's inside your Anomaly folder, this is the complete path: Anomaly/appdata/logs. Send the file called xray_yournamehere.txt, you just need to drag and drop the file here, Discord will handle it for you.
Make sure you're not using any extra mods.

[cunning elbow]

This might be a dumb question but dose gamma include the magazines mod or dose it have to be added manually?

[brisk zinc]

It's already in but you need to enable it

!mags

[raw raft]

In order to properly enable Mags Redux:

1. Enable Mags Redux (Disable G.A.M.M.A. Unjam Reload) (the mod under "Optional")
2. Disable G.A.M.M.A. Unjam Reload on the same key
3. Enable Ammo Check
4. While in game, check your keybinds

KEEP IN MIND that once you enable Mags Redux, you can't disable it. The only safe way to do so, is by loading a save where you don't have the mod enabled or by starting a new game.

[finite sail]

Does anyone know why my performace fluctuates from day to day, like i had 70+ fps yesterday in jupiter but i boot the game up today and its like 20-30

[astral condor]

My game switches tints really unsubtly fsr, I thought at first it was dynamic tonemapper and I turned that off, I checked out the blue tint issue and reinstalled Enhanced Shaders but still no luck eliminating the harsh tinting

What are my options here?

[brisk zinc]

!bluetint

[raw raft]

If you have that annoying blue tint, open your GAMMA folder and go here: .Grok's Modpack Installer/GAMMA/modpack_addons/. Then, delete this mod: mod: 188- Enhanced Shaders - KennShade
Now, open your MO2 and reinstall 188- Enhanced Shaders - KennShade and tick:

01 Enhanced Shaders - PBR
02 Enhanced Color Grading
Optional - shader_param controls - simple

[astral condor]

I did so

[brisk zinc]

Ah it didn't work

[astral condor]

Yeah I'm afraid

[brisk zinc]

I'm out of clues as well

[astral condor]

I'll upload a video (if my internet cooperates lmfao) I hope it kinda helps diagnose the issue

Had cases of orange tinting outside as well, especially when aiming down sights

[shadow sapphire]

Ah yes, I have the same thing, kinda just ignore tbh. I legit assumed it was a zone backlighting issue.

[shadow sapphire]

Oh, now thats interesting. Do you have roadsides lens flares enables?

[astral condor]

Yeah

[shadow sapphire]

Turn that off, see if it stops

[brisk zinc]

I'll add it to the command if it works

[astral condor]

Wilco! It's kinda rare and non-persistent, compared to the annoying blue tint

[brisk zinc]

"Wilco", is that a nickname for me?

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah that sounds like the roadsides thing, but now im wondering if the roadsides bug might be a little worse than thought...

[lyric steeple]

I got a PDA that tells me access denied. anything i can do about that?

[shadow sapphire]

Take it to a mechanic, pay him his monies

[astral condor]

lmfao

Okay it's kinda more subtle, but I'll upload a vid

My ISP is gonna kill me lmfao

[brisk zinc]

Disable these three and put that slider to the minimum, this solves every FPS problem for me
The game is very old, the engine works on magic, we can't expect any miracles, but doing this, it's more stable, grass eat FPS for breakfast

Also, if you want, you can go in Anomaly/appdata, open user.ltx, search r__no_ram_textures off and change it from "off" to "on"

[brisk zinc]

Enable this as well, it's about shadows in the distance that you can't even see, it disable them

[shadow sapphire]

This should seriously be a command, and a warning pop when installing lol: The game is very old, the engine works on magic, we can't expect any miracles, but doing this, it's more stable

[shadow sapphire]

If thats in game now I would be willing to bet that if you F7 and go to weather editor its cloudy_1 isnt it?

[astral condor]

I think so, I didn't enable debug mode as I was playing normally

[finite sail]

i think it was actually

cloudy that is

[astral condor]

It's especially prominent in clear weather, sunsets and sunrises, and midday

[shadow sapphire]

Ok... thats not roadsides.

[astral condor]

Yeah I disabled it, both problems still persist

[median lagoon]

I failed the Explorers chain quest after I completed the Jupiter quests and I don't know why. Where is this professor Vorobushkin?

[shadow sapphire]

Did you save near him?

You did didnt you.

[median lagoon]

no

does it cause to fail?

[astral condor]

Disabling all reshades did help with the orange tint problem (It still exists but to a FAR less degree and being subtle as is, it's more prominent in white surfaces or naturally warm surfaces but in others its negligible), but didn't with the blue tint

[median lagoon]

I am about to reload previus save to see if it works, hopefully

[shadow sapphire]

No just a suspicsion I have.

Dont do that yet

when did you update last?

[pure scarab]

why do mercs attack loners?

[shadow sapphire]

Because they hate everyone. Unless you are bandit, Freedom (Inside AW) or an ecologist, who they basically work for

[pure scarab]

oh so they are under contract of freedom, bandits and ecos?

its becuse i dont think it makes sense to see 2 mercs scorting a eco and then they shooting me and then i killing me leaving that eco alone

[shadow sapphire]

Know one really knows why they dont kill freedom to my knowledge. I suspect freedom has sided with the west. Ecos are from the west, and bandits they probably use as cheap disposable distraction attacks. The mercs are mercs yes, but not for like dudes in the zone. Suspicion is they are mercs for like western governments and companies.

[pure scarab]

yeah it makes sense when u say that the mercs are mercs but not for us

i tough ecos were from ukraine

well but considering gamma operates on a slight different universe

[shadow sapphire]

Some not all

[pure scarab]

i mean they were been protected by the ukranian military

[astral condor]

disabling PD80_01B_RT_Correct_Color.fx in reshade seems to fix the orange tint problem, not the blue tint. And I think I might have to move this to #old-bugs? lol

[shadow sapphire]

Not for now. If falco needs you to move or grok one will say something I am sure. But to be honest almost no one goes to the right channel.

[gritty minnow]

How do you retrieve stash info from a PDA?

The pda's that get dropped by enemies

[astral condor]

Lmfao fr

[finite sail]

could id be caused by offline combat and if so how does it change the game if i turn it off?

[shadow sapphire]

You open the pda?

[median lagoon]

Explorers quest keep failing as I complete task. Where is this professor Vorobushking? Maybe he died or I killed him somewhere. To be honest I haven't seen any professor in the north beside the one in Jupiter.

[shadow sapphire]

When did you last update gamma?

[median lagoon]

today in the afternoon

[gritty minnow]

I opened it and it doesn't mention anything about a stash, but when I sold it to sovonich, he said it had stash info on it

[median lagoon]

it's all uptodate, it miss the last updates for hip quest I just noticed now

[shadow sapphire]

Is mod 263 enabled, or was it enabled when you got the quest?

[terse sun]

that's scripted randomly and doesn't reflect the actual PDA content

[median lagoon]

gamma achievement balance? It's enabled, I supposed it has always been afaik

[shadow sapphire]

Safe area transition.

Is or was that enabled when you had the quest

[gritty minnow]

Hmmm... If I open the enemy PDA, should there be a message about a stash? Or does it just appear on my PDA map without any notif?

[median lagoon]

this quest (last task in Jupiter) has been in my task list since ages, just tonight I managed to do it

[terse sun]

if the PDA contains a stash, you will be able to read it

it will appear as one of the entries in that PDA

and once you read it, the stash location will appear on your map

[gritty minnow]

Ohhhh that answers my question, thank you @terse sun!

[median lagoon]

I see the addon, how old it is? if it has been added recently definetly I had the quest since before

[shadow sapphire]

Bro hes probably deaaaaaaaad.

Also you still have it and its enabled?

[median lagoon]

yes

how old is this addon?

[shadow sapphire]

Will first. Go update your gamma

it was 3 or 4 updates old. Disabled now for disappearing NPCs.

[median lagoon]

where does it take place?

[shadow sapphire]

No idea, but auto failing the quest, plus you have a mod that literally disappears NPCs, as in not even a body. He gone.

[median lagoon]

ok I can disable it and reload a previous save, maybe it will work

[shadow sapphire]

best bet

[median lagoon]

it's ok if he is dead, shame I could not meet him maybe he was a nice lad

[shadow sapphire]

Hes dust and dreams now.

[pure scarab]

so i have the beard AK doesnt it has some attachments in it by default?

[terse sun]

only the laser pointer

[pure scarab]

how do i turn it on?

[terse sun]

by default long press L

[pure scarab]

ah thanks

[median lagoon]

ok I read the mod description on imdb. haha brilliant

[terse sun]

you read the mod description on imdb?? Damn, people famous these days 😄

[knotty storm]

What's the faction with best equipment ? Monolith ?

[terse sun]

yuss

[shadow sapphire]

Huh?

Im not being a troll, what do you mean by who has the best equipment?

[knotty storm]

To loot

[brisk zinc]

Every time you update, everything goes back to default, this is the only way stuff gets reverted to default

[knotty storm]

The most advanced guns, Idk lol

[pure scarab]

where is the workshop anomaly in wild territory?

[shadow sapphire]

Ah, it doesnt really work that way in gamma, no faction really has different stuff in a sense, except maybe armors, and certain upgrade kits on guns. Oh and gauss rifles. Mono does have those, but honestly its just kill who you want and keep the gear you want

[finite sail]

yeah i dind update since i managed to get it running after three instalations

[knotty storm]

You sure ?

[shadow sapphire]

When you enter WT from Ros, its that first warehouse on the left full of anomalies, radiation and in vanilla a controller.

[knotty storm]

Cause I killed like a hundred loners and it's meh stuff.

[pure scarab]

i am with a lack of controllers in my game

i am 10-12 days in the zone, did agro underground and no controllers yet

[shadow sapphire]

I mean NATO v WP weapon types, but for instance every faction has an exosuit. Any NATO might have an AUG. The further south you are the worse the equipment is. The lower your rank, the worse the equipment is, the lower the enemies rank, the worse their equipment is. Progression.

[terse sun]

go to red forest, enjoy the laughing and murmuring of the controllers

[median lagoon]

mercenaries have the best heavy suits, I don't know exos I haven't seen many yet. Guns depends on what you like and all factions drops good ones when you get to face elites (Legend)

[pure scarab]

not yet

i havent turned off the miracle machine

nor the brain frier

or brain microwave

[knotty storm]

Aight cool, thanks !

[terse sun]

I'd add mercs and duty, their forest exosuit is nice

[terse sun]

you can go there if you have a psy helmet (probably even without)

[median lagoon]

just play and gear will come always better as you progress to the north and with your rank

[pure scarab]

i dont want to

😦

[terse sun]

why not, strelok did it the first time and he didn't have to disable shit

[median lagoon]

if you find an hybrid suit in mid game you are very lucky

[shadow sapphire]

@pure scarab You saw my answer?

[soft niche]

how do i backup my settings again?

[pure scarab]

i am not strelok i am just a shitty drunk ukranian

[pure scarab]

yes i did thank u

❤️

[shadow sapphire]

Go to bot channel, and use the command from the list

[smoky dome]

hey anyone know why even if I'm in cover emmisions are still killing me?

[terse sun]

are you sure you're actually taking cover?

not all buildings will cover against emissions

check your PDA for the nearest emission cover

[brisk zinc]

Remove any artefacts you have on you

IIRC, especially artefacts with -something% psy

[smoky dome]

oh yea had a meat chunk on me

is that a bug or a feature?

[brisk zinc]

What do you think?

[smoky dome]

I think its stalker being stalker

[brisk zinc]

It's a bug, a known one

[finite sail]

okay now the game doesnt make any sense i just stayed in one spot for 20 minutes and my fps is back at normal even with the same weather and time conditions as i was having issue before

[brisk zinc]

I still suggest to do what I told you

The game is literally the same, graphics are the same

The grass thing isn't even noticeable

[finite sail]

yeah i did all of that even turned the grass to minimum which didnt affected my performace like 1-2 fps

[brisk zinc]

You have to open the game again to apply all that stuff

[finite sail]

did that like 5 times as i was changing every setting

[brisk zinc]

What's your specs?

[finite sail]

ryzen 1600 gtx 1080 16g ram

[brisk zinc]

Hm, the CPU is old (right?)

Anomaly is a game that require a strong CPU, it's very CPU intensive

• all that stuff about "the game is old, the engine is old, etc."

[finite sail]

yeah it has its years

[brisk zinc]

Consider that I have a 3070

And a Ryzen 7 3700X

16 GB RAM

And I can't still destroy the game

It's just how it is

[terse sun]

Anomaly is a game that require a strong "SINGLE CORE SPEED" CPU, it's very CPU intensive

a little fix 😄

[brisk zinc]

True

It's all about the single core speed

@terse sun speaking of this, should I try to disable Core 0?

[terse sun]

yes!

do that, you will gain FPS

[brisk zinc]

Maybe without the multithreading it will work better, right?

[terse sun]

and that 🙂

[brisk zinc]

Because I've used that for quite some time

[finite sail]

yeah was early adopter of the ryzen and thought i could upgrade donw the line but amd fuck me over and now i need a new mobo as well

[brisk zinc]

Never saw improvements

[terse sun]

it considerably improved my fps but most of all FPS consistency when I disabled SMT on my 5800x

[brisk zinc]

I have to try now

[brisk zinc]

Yeah, that + ram thing on in user.ltx + 1.5.2 + some settings and my game now is smoother

[terse sun]

can you link the ram thing? haven't tried it yet

[finite sail]

my pc doenst want to boot if i disable smt

[terse sun]

but cpu0 disable + smt off was a major boost for me

[brisk zinc]

Go in Anomaly/appdata, open user.ltx, search r__no_ram_textures off and change it from "off" to "on"

[brisk zinc]

Unlucky

[terse sun]

on it 🙂

[finite sail]

great now i even forgot why i went to jupiter in the first place

[terse sun]

to see the aloha guy in yanov of course!

[terse sun]

ok so this + smt off + cpu0 off and it really does work like a charm now

super cool!

thanks for this one

[wooden zodiac]

Anyone else get where your game runs real smooth but then every couple of seconds especially if sprinting it just freezes up for a second?

[terse sun]

right now I'm getting like around 75-80 fps and a buttery smooth gameplay in rostok with preset@high, all gamma shaders on, HBAO with SSAO@high, 1080p on a fricking GTX970

[wooden zodiac]

Thats what I dont understand why am I getting this random freezing up then?

[terse sun]

everybody does, you're not alone

it's random loading of the game where the cpu spikes up, some places are just stuttering by default, such as the exit towards wild territory from yantar's side, northern entrance from garbage to dark valley, etc.

and the faster you can sprint, the more frequently these loads will occur

sadly, such is the nature of this game

[wooden zodiac]

Ugh that sucks so much. Will getting a better PC fix that?

[terse sun]

getting a super fast single core cpu will, wait for the new amd 7xxx series

getting a better PC fixes a lot, but I doubt we will ever see a completely smooth gameplay in this game, the single core limitation of this engine just wrecks any CPU up to date, no matter what you have

but getting a better CPU will surely help, evidently even an 8 year old GPU such as mine is still more then sufficient to run high enough FPS

so GPU isn't THAT much of a problem (except for VRAM, that you need plenty)

[warped ginkgo]

the technology just isn't there yet

[wooden zodiac]

Sucks that it only runs on single core

[astral condor]

It's Star Citizen and Crysis all over again lmfao

[wooden zodiac]

Any settings that I could lower to help it?

[astral condor]

Grass render distance, grass shadow, and grass density

Anti Aliasing also (I think)

[wooden zodiac]

Ill try that

[terse sun]

this is where the problem lies

[wooden zodiac]

I see

[terse sun]

the game is currently running on my CPU2, not sure what the hell CPU 4 is doing

[warped ginkgo]

time travel to 2004? rewrite ~~history ~~engine

[astral condor]

Same issue lmfao

[warped ginkgo]

r5 1600 gang

[terse sun]

(silently waiting for that ue5 port with x ray features)

[warped ginkgo]

[astral condor]

LMAO YES

[warped ginkgo]

could try disabling particles addons

10-20 fps maybe

[wooden zodiac]

Its not fps thats the problem

Its the random studdering

[terse sun]

and you can see that on 1080p even my 5800x can't even handle the full capacity of a gtx970 in rostok, so cpu intensive that my GPU still has 16% of FPS reserve in there

so check your GPU graphs, if you're not reaching 100% utilization there is literally nothing you can do to smoothen up the game, apart from the already mentioned, which is disabling cpu0 core, diasbling SMT, that user.ltx memory thing, and last but not least, OCing the crap out of your single core performance

we're simply all getting CPU bottlenecked

[wooden zodiac]

What is smt

And cpu 0core?

[astral condor]

Yeahhh

[astral condor]

Not to flex or anything hehe but

!core

[raw raft]

How to disable Core 0: #╭📖faq message

[astral condor]

A Ryzen CPU only thing I think, it stands for simultaneous multithreading

I think also intel has it but

take it with a grain of salt lol

[terse sun]

smt is basically AMDs equivalent of Intels HT

in short (or long), hyperthreading

[astral condor]

YES HYPERTHREADING

Lmfao god bless you the name escaped me completely

[terse sun]

hehe

[wooden zodiac]

What benefit would it be to disable cpu 0?

[astral condor]

Giving the load to other cores to handle

making CPU 0 system only

[terse sun]

you eliminate the game trying to run on the same core that is processing the OS kernel

therefore increasing the processing potential dedicated to the game

[wooden zodiac]

Can this cause problems with ur pc?

[astral condor]

Naur

[terse sun]

absolutely not

[astral condor]

It's a process only thing

[terse sun]

it's basically just telling the OS scheduler to avoid a certain core for a specific task (stalker game in this case)

[dense cargo]

Anyone have issues with Clear Sky quest to clear the farmstead next to Cordon? Wiped out the location and no quest marker now, but still says the task is active

will debug menu bypass this, if needed?

[steel forge]

i did that last week

seemed good but i did that before the update

oh does changing factions mean you can receive more missions from that said faction?

[terse sun]

not sure about the missions, but I suspect you can get to a higher supply level with their merchants

[steel forge]

well i have lvl 5 anyway

[dense cargo]

homie, what is the SMT thing and the user.ltx thing?

[steel forge]

or is there a even higher one?

[terse sun]

as a loner, I am now maxed out with duty (3000 goodwill) and gave them basic tools, drug making kit and advanced tools and I'm still at supply lvl 3, while loners with the same invested and same goodwill give me supply lvl 5

perhaps they need expert tools for that or something, not sure

haven't tested yet

[steel forge]

oh you mean the technician?

same stuff with clear sky here

[terse sun]

SMT thing you go into your BIOS, for AMD find SMT and disable it, for intel find HT or hyperthreading and disable that

[steel forge]

i suppose the better the tool you give him the better the supply

[terse sun]

it will decrease multithreading performance, but increase single thread somewhat considerably, at least on my CPU

[terse sun]

and for the user.ltx ram thing:

Go in Anomaly/appdata, open user.ltx, search r__no_ram_textures off and change it from "off" to "on"

[terse sun]

that's for sure, but perhaps being a certain faction helps you reach lvl 5 sooner

but I might be completely wrong about this

not yet completely familiar with GAMMA system

one way to bypass all of this is getting 1 mil RU anyways - unless GAMMA changed something about that

[steel forge]

wdym?

[terse sun]

if you get 1 mil RU you unlock the "wellfare achievement" (might be wrong on the name of the achievement, can't recall), which makes all traders want to trade the good stuff with you, meaning you unlock their full stock potential even if you're on neutral goodwill with them and gave them zero tools

[steel forge]

oh

[wooden zodiac]

8. Click out, and then go back to Affinity and check "Save for AnomalyDX(YourDXversionhere).exe"
   [10:35 PM]
   I am having trouble with this step
   [10:36 PM]
   Where do I check this 'save' part

reposted it here I put it in the wrong section

[steel forge]

it is still in the achivements so yeah

[dense cargo]

halp

[night gale]

Shotgun damage against low-tier mutants need to be buffed. Most shotguns, including KS23, may not even oneshot dogs.

[steel forge]

i am using an mp 153 and it one shots everytime

[terse sun]

sounds like skill issue to me 😦

[steel forge]

did you tried to reload?

[terse sun]

IIRC there is no need to save anything, as long as lasso runs in the background it will do the thing for you

nevermind the above, I'm talking about lasso, that guide is for process hacker

[night gale]

Does shotgun accuracy affect effectiveness against mutants at close range? I always upgrade shotgun accuracy to the highest possible.

[night gale]

It seems that shotgun is more effective against larger mutants.

[terse sun]

accuracy is important the farther the object you're shooting at, and this would mostly apply to slugs and AP slugs, buckshot gets dispersed a lot so your best bet is to shoot at blank point to maximize its damage - that being said, I never tested the buckshot spray between different shotguns - on my nerd or dushman saiga, the buckshot spray seems to be quite contained

that being said, buckshot is quite powerful enough, you can down even a pseudogiant with it in about 12 shots (with saiga)

another thing worth mentioning about the FPS and stuttering optimization of stalker is btw, windows 11 seems to consistently score higher than windows 10 in real time processing, meaning it should positively affect the stuttering in stalker as well - I upgraded a while ago, and the game seems to run smoother than with windows 10

[brisk zinc]

You absolutely can flex, you literally solved a millennial problem

[terse sun]

this is how it should look with Lasso, if you happen to try it, I use it

[brisk zinc]

Load a previous save and try again

[wooden zodiac]

Thank you I figured it ot

*out

[astral condor]

Aww shucks you're making me blush

[brisk zinc]

Nope, it's not 1 mil

It's 10 mil(ions) now

[terse sun]

woop woop, nice!

1 mil is too easy to get anyways

[brisk zinc]

That's exactly why it's 10 now

[brisk zinc]

Sorry man

It was a work-in-progress guide

You'll need to check the guide again

I've changed stuff

[brisk zinc]

He was using the new guide in #╭📖faq about Core 0, it's with Process Hacker

[plush falcon]

Does anyone know how to reset my keybinds back to gamma's default? I tried using the default button but it seemed to reset back to stalker's default keybinds.

[brisk zinc]

!default

[raw raft]

Modlist
To bring your mod list back to default, inverting any changes made by you:

1. Open the installer with admin rights
2. Click on Only install G.A.M.M.A. addons

Keybinds
To bring your keybinds to default, DON'T press the default button in the menu, you'll mess up everything.
Instead, do this:

1. Go in GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\appdata
2. Copy the user.ltx file you'll find in there (note that every change made by you in your user.ltxwill be reverted to default)
3. Paste this file in Anomaly\appdata

[plush falcon]

Thank you, hopefully I can fix it

[terse sun]

need to remind myself that the "user.ltx ram thing" resets everytime I update/reset the keybinds (yeah I know I can backup 🙂 )

[steel forge]

is the korth 4" barrel pistol any good besides being somewhat fancy?

[terse sun]

.357 caliber ftw

although I tend to use 9x19 anyways

cheaper and a good feeder for the zombies and wounded stalkers

[steel forge]

it uses .45

[terse sun]

.45 is also good

[brisk zinc]

In theory, it only happens when you do the Full GAMMA installation, with the other, it doesn't happen

In theory

[dense cargo]

Too far ahead now to revert.. debug mode won't help in advancing past?

[terse sun]

hmm interesting, need to test it out sometime

[brisk zinc]

If you can find the ID for it, yes, probably

[terse sun]

just a friendly advice, here and now (especially when doing the main quests) it pays off to do a hard save or two before each, for cases like this

that, or try it with the debug

[brisk zinc]

I'd go with debug mode honestly

God mode + unlimited ammo until I finish everything I did, you can even fly around and teleport...

In five minutes you're done, easy

[night gale]

Interesting, I always had the impression that accuracy affects buckshot spray at a distance, which was why I preferred SPAS12 over Saiga. Though its incompatibility with reflex/holo sights is always a pain.

[lunar harbor]

@terse sun you should definitely enable PBO advanced and XFR, there is no way I'm pushing the same single core clock performance on a 5600x without disabling SMT

[dense cargo]

I understand what you guys mean. I do save often.. it's just I didn't realize it was an issue until much later since I was doing other things before returning to great swamp. It'd be a completely different fork in terms of losing stash loot, repairs, etc etc.

[brisk zinc]

Stashes are the same

They don't change loot

[lunar harbor]

@brisk zinc does this enable or disable Vram? "Go in Anomaly/appdata, open user.ltx, search r__no_ram_textures off and change it from "off" to "on"

[brisk zinc]

"no_ram on apparently avoids the textures to be duplicated in the ram by reserving more VRAM in the GPU"

"Ability to use more GPU memory to reduce redundant CPU usage. (#585)"
"To use it, enable r__no_ram_textures console command and restart the game."

"r_no_ram_textures off certainly frees up VRAM, but I think it could be overall detrimental"

(io lo uso oltre ad altre cose e devo dire che mi sto trovando meglio)

[lunar harbor]

ok grazie, non ti rompo più per oggi. E grazie ancora per avermi aiutato all'inizio della mia avventura in GAMMA qualche mese fa

[lunar harbor]

i suggerimenti di Meizu intendi?

[brisk zinc]

Esatto, il multithreading e tutto il resto

[gritty minnow]

Sorry @brisk zinc , but was asking for tips, not a basic guide...

[brisk zinc]

A saperlo che eri italiano...

[lunar harbor]

@brisk zinc mi hai aiutato tantissimo, in un altra lingua, pur non sapendolo. Ti fa solo onore. Sei molto bravo come moderatore

tu ed Okay_cat siete davvero pazienti

[brisk zinc]

Sorry the system is complex, I can give you some tips but it would still be better to read or watch something about it

Guns can only be found on dead stalkers as you probably know, when you find a gun that you like, keep it somewhere stashed
In the mean time, dismantle is your best friend, keep only 60% parts, throw out the rest

I can give you tips but you need to be more specific

To repair guns you need a toolkit (basic/advanced/expert) + the repair kit for the gun

You can also switch out parts by hand

But this will make the gun a little bit "dirty"

The barrel is the only thing you can't change by hand

[gritty minnow]

My bad on not being specific, I believe it's really more on not being able to find tools since I dunno how to get stash coordinates constantly

[dense cargo]

Is the clear sky questline vanilla to anomaly? looking for a resource to complete the quest via debug menu

[gritty minnow]

Though the 60% parts part is definitely a helpful tip

[brisk zinc]

I have the command for that as well

!stash

[raw raft]

Stashes are empty by default; you will have to find or get coordinates to actually find something in them. These coordinates can be obtained as rewards by completing quests, by reading PDAs that you can find on the bodies of stalkers you kill, you can even threaten wounded stalkers to get them, before you kill them.
You can also buy them from traders, although the location is always random, so it could be anywhere.

Inside these stashes you can find toolkits.

In the south part of the Zone (everywhere UNDER Red Forest) is where you'll find Basic and Advanced.
In the north part of the Zone (INSIDE Red Forest and ONLY NORTH from there) is where you'll find Expert, along the other two.
You also have the gunsmithing toolkit, which is used to craft ammunition of all kinds and you also have the drug making kit, used to create drugs and medicines.

Depending on the location, north or south:
White stashes have a small chance of finding ANY toolkit inside, this means that you can find ONE basic/advanced/expert toolkit OR a gunsmithing toolkit OR a drug making toolkit.
Green stashes have a 100% chance of finding ONE toolkit from this specific pool: Basic, Gunsmithing or Drug Making kit. Advanced and Expert are random and depend on the area the stash spawned in.

[brisk zinc]

IIRC yes

GAMMA use Anomaly vanilla

There isn't additional or new stuff, at least from what I know

It's all Anomaly

[gritty minnow]

You can only get stashes through stash coordinates right?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[gritty minnow]

Which is where i'm having issues

[brisk zinc]

Just do quests

Or buy them from traders

You'll swim in them, trust me

[gritty minnow]

Rip moolah early game xD

[brisk zinc]

You'll have so many stashes you'll grow bored of them

[shadow sapphire]

And by late game so much money youll want to be able to use it as a weapon.

[brisk zinc]

The loadout you choose when you start is important

Because it's what you'll keep with you for a "long" time

Then you find a good gun, a good armor and the basic tool kit, from there everything is different

[shadow sapphire]

o.0. Ive been gammaing wrong lol.

[brisk zinc]

It's different for everybody

But that's the main thing

The first loadout is crucial

[shadow sapphire]

I mean I agree. I just never looked at it that, way. May change my next playthrough a bit. Usually I farm cordon and garbage tasks/bandits/anything I can kill and as soon as possible change out to "historic" weapons.

Speaking of my next playthrough though. Actually have a help related question: So whilst testing that script. My power went out, is only that save screwed, or does xray magic even save destruction?

[dense cargo]

!questions

[raw raft]

Please, answer these questions, help us better understand your problem.

YOUR MOD LIST MUST BE VANILLA. Any other mod added by you or that isn't enabled by default is considered as a "modded mod list" and you should ask in #🔨modded-gamma-support.

1. GAMMA doesn't work anymore with Anomaly 1.5.1, have you updated to 1.5.2? (if you didn't, go in #🤖bot-commands, type and send !152)
2. Using Windows 7 or Windows 11 instead of Windows 10? Go in #🤖bot-commands, type and send !windows7 or !windows11
3. Where do you keep Anomaly and GAMMA? We need the full path of these two folders
4. How many active mods do you have in your mod list? The default is #📍577-mods-in-mo2
5. Have you enabled or disabled something? Can you see any red crosses in your mod list?
6. IF ASKED, send your crash log and your mod, go in #🤖bot-commands, type and send: !crash and !modlist

(I'll add more if I can think of any, suggestions are appreciated)

[gritty minnow]

[sleek delta]

I was trying to increase fps by doing the commands at #old-framerate-optimisation and my game ended up looking unnaturally dark, so I tried reverting the changes but it did nothing and now its stuck looking like this

[crude oyster]

what version of DICK is GAMMA using with its install? im assuming whichever is the most recent update from moddb but i just want to make sure, since i probably have to reinstall it manually for my vers

[shadow sapphire]

Latest on moddb

[crude oyster]

alright, cool. now i gotta reinstall it because game be goofy

[crude oyster]

does anyone know how to fix this? for some reason stalker icons are broken and only show placeholders where there would normally be an image. i thought it was an issue with my install and DICK so i reinstalled it, but the issue still persists.

i know its not a big deal by any means but i liked the varied and neat images they had

[graceful iron]

its not a bug. dux fortis is working on new icons and since those were still using the vanilla ones, he removed them until the new ones are ready

[crude oyster]

ahhhh, alrighty. thanks for the info

[graceful iron]

So I installed everything and when I go to load A new game it crashes says I’m missing something in bas any idea how to fix ?

[graceful iron]

post the crash log. its a text document in anomaly/appdata/logs

!crash

[raw raft]

Send your crash log here, it's inside your Anomaly folder, this is the complete path: Anomaly/appdata/logs. Send the file called xray_yournamehere.txt, you just need to drag and drop the file here, Discord will handle it for you.
Make sure you're not using any extra mods.

[graceful iron]

!missingmods

[raw raft]

Follow this guide if you're missing one or more mods: #╭📖faq message

Explaining WHY you're missing something from the mod list:

Moddb isn't really suited for the installer, it's not that much ordinary to download 300+ mods casually every other day, so you can lose some files in the process, when you download them.
MO2 can't obviously know if you have everything or not. This is because, if the file structure of the mod is "okay", the mod is "okay".
Anomaly, on the other hand knows right away that something is wrong, because it has to look for certain files in certain mods, and if those files are not there, the game crashes.

[graceful iron]

next time its going to be a mute if you keep posting the same question or using the bot commands for absolutely no reason. #📄rules we dont need trolls here

[alpine sleet]

am i able to post crash log in here? my fault wasnt too sure , trying to fix this issue.

[graceful iron]

yes, you can post the log here

[graceful iron]

that error is definitely missing files from boomsticks and sharpsticks. follow the instructions for missingmods

you will need to download the addon manually and put it in gammaRC3/downloads then run the installer

[alpine sleet]

so i followed the instructions but when i go to gamma i don't see a download folder i just see an addon one would it that one?, so after i put the mod in there i need to update and full install correct?

[graceful iron]

if you already installed, there should be a mods folder and a downloads folder in the gamma folder

[alpine sleet]

so in gamma folder within rc3 is only modpack addons data patches and metadata

[graceful iron]

this folder. not the other gamma folder

[alpine sleet]

found the mods folder, so i just put it in there extract there , update gamma data and full instillation correct?

thanks for the help btw

[graceful iron]

no, download the mod and put the zip file in the downloads folder, not the mods folder

after that, just run the installer > update data > full installation

[alpine sleet]

do i need to extract it within the folder or just drop and full install?

[carmine wyvern]

put the zip file in the download folder

[graceful iron]

no. just drop the file there

dont extract it

[alpine sleet]

thanks for the help gg
