[gritty minnow]

5 days into the game and I still haven't really done any story quests 🤣

[supple idol]

nothing wrong with that if you have already got psy helmet you can blaze through once you are prepared

[gritty minnow]

Oh right I was supposed to buy it today but eh, that's for tom, thank you for the help @supple idol !

[supple idol]

no problem its best to just get it going early because you need to wait like 48 hours before the psy helmet will be done to collect

and if you dont have it you cant progrress story after a little bit

[stone wolf]

does anybody know if there are different versions of the aks 74u?

[supple idol]

theres a list of all weapons here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MtcGryS-7sWRKWrDXpg28n1QXs6th-dofZYAqAP7mYQ/edit#gid=1074444911

seems theres only a tactical version

whatever that means

[minor bone]

Hey I want to disable shader driven scopes. Is that possible without messing things up?

[shadow sapphire]

I know there is base, and tactical

[shadow sapphire]

Oof honestly not sure. Should be, you could follow the dx8 guide that tells you how to turn off like all shaders, or fps optimization might

[minor bone]

yea, I mean I have disabled it before but i recently heard something about not turning it off.... I could be conflating another stalker channel with this one tho. I like the scopes but man I can deal with the binos that I use regularly. Its super pixelated and blurry and I just dont know how to fix it. I did fix the chromatic aberration but I couldnt fix the pixelated image (the resolution looks super low)

I cant deal**

[stone wolf]

thx

[marsh shuttle]

Hey i was wondering, does disabling core 0 for anomaly boosts performance for any system or just particular systems with weak hardware? does it have any drawbacks?

Also under G.A.M.M.A Fixes, there is a mod named "Turn this on if you stutter" i stutter heavily when i walk thru areas with npcs (prob understandable cuz game loads those npc but yeah) will it help with that? dummy question cuz i didnt see a entry for that on framerate_optimisation

[supple idol]

disabling core 0 may or may not help, it cant really make anything worse

[warped ginkgo]

just remove bino from the scope radi script

[supple idol]

for the fix mod yes it can help with that

worst case if it doesnt you can disable the mod

but these are things that have helped people with these issues can only try

[marsh shuttle]

Ty, i'll try some of them

[minor bone]

like the entire line? Or just set the number as 0?

like is this in the GAMMA folder or anomaly?

[warped ginkgo]

delete line, should end up like this

[shrewd blaze]

does anyone know what the hunger spectrum is? for example, how many kcals are you missing when the initial stage of hunger starts?

[fringe mauve]

Guys i clicked somewhere i don't remember and now MO2 is a mess, how can i turn back it to normal ?

[marsh shuttle]

Hey i was having problems with being unable to loot bodies, skin animals etc and recently it developed into not being able to get out of ads or reload my weapon. All of these fix themselves after a save reload but they happen so frequently its getting bad. Someone mentioned a "busy hands" glitch, any ideas how can i fix this?

[fringe mauve]

#╭📖faq message

[median lagoon]

first try to order by priority, maybe it looks like a mess because of that. anyway to reset modlist just do an "install only gamma addon" it will take one second to download the original modlist

[brisk zinc]

!busyhands

[raw raft]

DO NOT ENABLE any of the disabled animations. These are the root cause of multiple animation loops that can break the game, to the point where you have to delete the save.
This bug is called "busy hands", an animation loop that prevents the player from interacting with the action keys, except for movement.

If you are still unsure whether you have it or not, try to do any of the following: interact with objects or people, use a weapon, open your inventory, drink/eat/sleep and so on.
The only possible way to, maybe, remove it completely is to disable any extra activated animation that was previously disabled. You will also have to go back to a previous save where you are 100% sure that you don't have busy hands.

Animations that bring busy hands:

• Opening/closing backpack
• Skinning of mutants
• Disassembling objects with Left-Alt pressed
• Picking up objects

[brisk zinc]

Order by priority

[fringe mauve]

Oh yes as simple as that, thanks

[vernal wharf]

How do disguises work? I am unisg disguised as a merc entering a Freedom base, Some of them shoot me when they see me from 2km and others don't mind me giving them a hug

[torn totem]

so basically, is there a chance to turn off all "first person" animations? like eating bread, and other simpler tasks? I dont mind about healing animations, like bandages/ medkit but eating bread, smoking for example i dont really like, looks a bit off.

its nothing basically, just asking if thats possible to do. turn off certain animations, not all of them.

[shadow sapphire]

You have to have the armor at 100% by default and the appropriate patch for the armor. Once you out the patch on you can go into their areas and won't be hostile. But it will not work indefinitely, so limit your time because eventually they will realize that you are a stranger.

[shadow sapphire]

Check fdda settings in mcm

[marsh shuttle]

I only had picking up items animations for fdda, disabled them but the problem still persists. Also prob good to mention that i have death animations enabled

[torn totem]

i tried, sadly there is just stuff listed in "busy hands" glitch, backpack animations, skinning mutants etc. nothing about eating.

but i dont mind much.

[minor bone]

thanks. Gonna do that now!

[vernal wharf]

Armor is at 93%, but what i am saying is, some of then don't even hesitate to shoot, i am far away from them and they instantly start shooting me, others i walk besides them and don't care.
The text of being recognise doesn't pop up, or the "bar thingy". There could be a squad looking at me not shooting, and another shooting at the same time

[shadow sapphire]

Right, it has to be at 100%

[pale silo]

Is the Vector already modded ingame? It's been a while since I play and I wanted to get that.

[vernal wharf]

Look at this, the one in front doesn't care, the other two shoot me

[warped ginkgo]

yeah you can

you need to modify the fdda .ltx anims

[shadow sapphire]

Not yet in vanilla

[warped ginkgo]

no idea what exactly, but im sure you can disable it by modifying tohse files

[torn totem]

ohh, that sounds nice. gonna find that out. thank you.

[shadow sapphire]

Right, your armor is at 93% not 100% so it won't work for all of them

[vernal wharf]

7% difference kinda bullshit imo but ok

gonna try

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah you can turn of the has to be 100% thing in settings. But that's the way the mod works

[vernal wharf]

nope, 100% and i am still getting shoot at. Does the helmet have to be at 100% too?

[safe gulch]

I think maybe you attacked one of them without disguise, and they are aggroed, it's happened to me ones

[shadow sapphire]

Which armor is it? And you're sure you have a patch on it?

[vernal wharf]

I entered Army Warehouse with the disguise on, only attacked a monolith group

Patch on, and Merc suit

[shadow sapphire]

Is that freedom?

[vernal wharf]

Merc*

[shadow sapphire]

The ones shooting you are mercs?

[vernal wharf]

Freedom are shooting me

[shadow sapphire]

Ok, and what faction did you start as?

[vernal wharf]

UNISG

The armor is Mercenary LC-S Suit

[shadow sapphire]

There you go. Someone would have to verify, but I'm 90% sure freedom is only neutral to mercs if you start as merc

[shadow sapphire]

Apparently I'm misremembering.

[vernal wharf]

Kinda tilted, sorry that i am taking it off with you

[shadow sapphire]

There something about backpack, give me a moment to check

[vernal wharf]

If i check settings, Player's weapon, Player's helmet, Player's Backpack and Player's inventory is turn off, so it shouldn't matter right?

[shadow sapphire]

That should stop those from mattering, I am checking the actual script now, and this is suprisingly very complicated. Effectively, if you are in their sight for more than 20 seconds they start to get suspicious, if you make sudden movements they get suspicious, and basically once suspicious enough they will see through it, depending on certain factors it will not always alert all enemies unless you fight back.

[fickle cliff]

Privyet
I installed Gamma just today and I already encountered 2 minor problems. First one is with PM pistol. I am not able reload despite I have proper mags in my load out. Second on is with enemies. They are bullet sponges. It took 3 shots to the head with TOZ then 6 to the body with PM and I had to stab him anyway. Enemy (bandit) was wearing Beryl suit and. I did set bullet hit factor to from 1 to 3 and it kinda ok. Thank you in advance.

[vernal wharf]

Also i am not seeing the Disguise meter thingy in the bottom middle

I am walking up to them, some see me an shoot, others don't

[safe gulch]

Do you have weapon in hand?

[vernal wharf]

Nope

[shadow sapphire]

Check keybinds for mags redux as the default is F10, not R for some reason. Also go to #🤖bot-commands and type !mags to get full instructions for it. In terms of bullet sponge, They had medium armor on, medium armor is going to take ALOT of buckshot to get through. You need to use the correct ammo for correct situation. Also what is the barrel condition of your weapons?

Apparently helmet does matter, weird.

[fickle cliff]

PM is in mint condition same as knife. If it comes to TOZ it's bad. Overall condition is 44 %, barrel is in similar state.

[shadow sapphire]

Having more than 25kg in your inventory will also break it

[safe gulch]

Helmet is important on the same value of the armor, because it's cover the face or this is what I remember, the more its hide the face the more useful it is, breather are useless for this reason you get discovered instantly

[shadow sapphire]

So if you mouse over the TOZ it will say on the tool tip Damaged Barrel - % damage reduced.

[safe gulch]

I have 100kg and I'm fine

[fickle cliff]

I will check these at my next session. Thank you Stalker.

[shadow sapphire]

shrugs I am just reading what the code says lol. Also if you turned that off it wont matter

[safe gulch]

I'm playing with all active

True hardcore

Lol

[fickle cliff]

Holy crap. How I could miss it?! Thanks again .

[north turret]

why is this mod disabled? Is it unstable or something?

[shadow sapphire]

A - Its broken, B - it looks bad. Also DO NOT enable any mods in the disabled seperator

[vernal wharf]

tried disabling every setting of the disguise tab and they keep shooting

[north turret]

Okay, thanks

[shadow sapphire]

They have a memory, I would disable it all, reload game before they saw you.

[safe gulch]

They are bugged or you hit them with something

[vernal wharf]

still, they shoot me :/

gonna try loading from when i entered AW so if it changes

[safe gulch]

Did you kill fredom as a merc, bounty squad maybe?

[vernal wharf]

I will update on everything till i get shot

[vernal wharf]

Nope, nothing

Got shot anyway

I even pass beside another Freedomer who didn't care

[safe gulch]

They are a squad you iterated somewhere

Interacted *

[vernal wharf]

Haven't been in AW for 3 ingame days

But the thing is, half the Freedom base shoots me, the other half doesn't care

[safe gulch]

Strange

Really strange

[median lagoon]

why volat (electr res +79% ) does not raise my electrical res bar much. Is it because I wear an exo?

[shadow sapphire]

Give me a few minutes and I'll test, you said unisg and merc lcs right? Which helmet?

[vernal wharf]

PPM-88 Gas Mask

[wise sparrow]

anyone know if there's a way to make the 3d PDA display correctly in 21:9? The 2D one works correctly but I don't know what would need to be done for the 3D PDA

[shrewd blaze]

is there something better to use than bandage + ibuprofen if youre trying to mend a single broken leg? at least something more efficient to use than a bandage for the temp hp

[median stump]

Anyone got some decent settings for 4k? im running a 3080 and a i9-12900k and getting shiet frames, but looking at the optimization guide i rather not remove the visuals. Yesterday when i first launched the game it ran butterly smooth but today quite bad

[shadow sapphire]

Nah, thats about as efficient as possible.

[supple idol]

true ibuprofen is like best for healing with limb post heal

[shadow sapphire]

Youre just running the default 330 mods right?

[vernal wharf]

yeah

[shadow sapphire]

Ok, heading to test now

[wise sparrow]

did you change any settings? I ran a 3080 at 4k for months and would get 70-110ish frames

[vernal wharf]

also, the ones that shoot me, i can kill them without the ones that don't caring

[median stump]

Yes, think it may be the shadow resolution

hmm its set to 2048

[shadow sapphire]

Interesting. And their loot is freedom, and they arent part of a quest or anything right?

[wise sparrow]

no, shadow map resolution is just a vram thing. make sure you didn't set anti aliasing or smaa super high those will tank your framerate

grass settings will kill your framerate as well

[median lagoon]

in early game iboprufen is expensive, you should rely for post heals on the yadulin pills and wait for it's effect to disappear or pop a caffeine tablet

[shrewd blaze]

damn. it'd be kinda nice if you could sit around a campfire long enough you'd gradually restore temporary hp or something

[vernal wharf]

Exactly, also, they are always the same ones that shoot

[supple idol]

theres an artifact for that

[rare sluice]

You get normal hp in vanilla Gamma

slowly

[supple idol]

I forget which one

[shrewd blaze]

oh word? ill test that out

[median lagoon]

find a snignet and you can heal quite fast at campfire, plus heart and your almost have good regen

[median stump]

trying now, any other settings i should take a look at?

[wise sparrow]

not really. I run everything maxed out but leave grass, smaa, and anti aliasing at the gamma defaults

[median stump]

Yeah those were killing my frames thanks

[wise sparrow]

smaa default is high and AA is 2x

[minor bone]

grass is a straight up frame destroyer

[median lagoon]

so exos are no no for electro anomalies

[vernal wharf]

@shadow sapphire i managed to enter the freedom base with only killing one. do you want that save file so you can test it?

[shadow sapphire]

Ok, so I figured out whats probably happening to you

Are you running at all?

[vernal wharf]

Nope, walking ( just w)

[shadow sapphire]

Because if I run, literally at all some of the peeps in AW will shoot at me. If I only walk No one gets upset. If I bump into anyone again issues, if I stay away from most im fine. Walking, without bumping into anyone with that gear and no weapon out with default mods, and default settings for disguise and I can stroll all through AW, talk to lukash, mechanic, trader, and medic with no issues. IF I get seen at all because I ran, I have to go hide for a bit (about 1 min or two), take patch off, put it back on, and walk and then they dont shoot me anymore. I did notice you have 3 companions, I DO NOT know how companions work with disguise. My assumption would honestly be that they dont work well, but I dont know.

[vernal wharf]

ok gonna try that, give me a min

Do you shift walk or just walk?

[shadow sapphire]

Just w

Also this was with helmet and armor at 100% just an fyi.

[vernal wharf]

Nope, recorded a video if that helps

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah if you want to send me a link Ill take a look.

[vernal wharf]

I have the file lol

Oh wait it's big

How can i share it?

[shadow sapphire]

You can upload it to youtube or something

[vernal wharf]

Uploading it, when its done i will send the link

Thanks for all the help, you are great

[dense pawn]

Best way to find armor to progress to more hazardous areas as Merc? I assume killing Duty, Monolith hasn't been dropping much armor in Limansk.

[versed tusk]

it's rng and dependent on your rank + rank you kill

[shadow sapphire]

Killing in general, stashes can have armor as well, but usually not amazing stuff.

[dense pawn]

Got it, psychopathic tendencies are to be encouraged.

I may or may not have been letting my Mercenary friends get executed by Monolith so I can snatch their loot.

[median stump]

how do i know what icons mean what?

[shadow sapphire]

Which icons are we talking about?

[median stump]

On the bottom left, the little status, i know there is drink and food icons.

[drifting oxide]

Thank you. Your dedication to helping out is appreciated!

Thank you. Your moderation efforts are appreciated as well

[shadow sapphire]

Ah, the others you just kinda half to learn. If its a dark grey shield with something on it, it means it is buffing a stat, the icon on the shield will align to one of the stat icons in your inventory. Is there a specific icon you can describe that you are not understanding?

[median stump]

Im new to stalker, so not entirely sure what all the icons mean. For instance my character continues to randomly sigh every now and again and im not entirely sure why, and im not sure if the icon on the bottom left means i need drink or something

Here the UI shows them im almost full drink and food which im confused as the little bottle icon means

[shadow sapphire]

So that does mean You need to drink which is like the lip smacking audio noise, he is sighing because your health is below health which is the body outline

Your drink and food are not full, if you look closely, there is a half bar and another bar after the first 4

[vernal wharf]

Also running will hurt you because of low leg (left) health

[median stump]

ah okay, the ui is a bit confusing then, so the bar in the inventory doesnt mean that im almost full

Yeah i noticed the running bit

[vernal wharf]

yeah, pretty random, the hunger one has to be below half to show the icon

[shadow sapphire]

It does, but think of it this way, if you had only half the water you needed for the day you would probably be thirsty, thats all that icon is saying. If it has a yellow or red box around it, now it is too low and can cause damage

[median stump]

ah okay gotcha, also is it supposed to be raining all the time?

[shadow sapphire]

It will rain alot, not all the time but alot lol

[supple idol]

isnt rain 3 hours by default

for gamma

[shadow sapphire]

Do you mean happens every three hours or happens for 3 hours?

[supple idol]

when it happens its 3 hours long

[shadow sapphire]

Oh, no idea, but I do know for a fact you can get back to back rain.

[tidal raft]

Depends also if you changed areas during the rainy period.

[supple idol]

oh i didnt know that

[tidal raft]

Walking into another rainy area will reset the timer.

[shadow sapphire]

Today I learned about rain and gamma, thank Aldourien

[median stump]

Does gamma have the mod that adds persistent weather across loading of zones?

[shadow sapphire]

Gamma has a custom weather mod

[median stump]

ah ok ok cool

just gotta learn how to cook food now lmao

[versed tusk]

cooker + meat

[median stump]

ye wasnt aware you couldnt cook on a fire though

[versed tusk]

with the smaller ones, yes - the blue cooker. later you will have the multi stove that makes cured meats with extra yummy buffs

[shadow sapphire]

If you havent I would highly reccommend reading the manual and the articles generated from commands in the #🤖bot-commands or the stuff posted in #╭📖faq.

[versed tusk]

ingame PDA also has the manual if you like ingame reading next to a guitar

[median stump]

ah just one more question, is it normal for your player character to be juttering around while entering door ways or randomly through the world. Like it seems like he gets stuck going through a door way but ends up just popping out the other side

[vernal wharf]

@shadow sapphire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29VJ3sDvnak&ab_channel=GinoFabrizio
Forgot to send the video, check it out later

[dense pawn]

I actually had a similarish thing happening but I chose to exploit it as the gift that was given to me. All hostile NPCs on map lost their ability to locate me and thus couldn't shoot at me. They'd react to being hit, but couldn't figure out where I was. I restarted my game so I'm done exploiting that lmao.

[shadow sapphire]

So there are two things that stand out to me. #1 is the companions, I have a feeling that may be part of the issue. #2 is that when I got spotted I did not fight, I ran, hid, and took my patch of and put it back on, and waited until it gave me the message about people will think I am a mercenary.

[vernal wharf]

oh yeah, forgot about that, i was doing this entire thing to take them inside freedom base because of a Guide Mission, so i couldn't leave them behind

[shadow sapphire]

BUT I will say there is something odd about you being spotted from that far. Can you send your modlist just so I can make sure theres not something weird, and that its updated?

[vernal wharf]

I didn't have a Merc patch on my inventory, so i "couldn't take it off and sew it back on", but the suit "had one"

[shadow sapphire]

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Hold on

[vernal wharf]

How do i do that? Is there a easy way? I saw someone sent like a txt with all of them

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah go to #🤖bot-commands and type !modlist it will tell you how to make the text file, then just drag and drop into this channel

[vernal wharf]

Here it is

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah its 100% good to go as to the modlist. Any settings adjusted in MCM other than the disguise ones?

[vernal wharf]

Nope, never touch anything apart from what i touched today

[shadow sapphire]

Do you have debug turned on?

[vernal wharf]

Not in that save file

[shadow sapphire]

If you turned it on in the launcher and saved settings it should still be on. I kind of want you to test something, spawn a merc patch in your inventory and hit z so that it removes the patch and hit z again to put it on and tell me what it says on your screen

[dense pawn]

Now I'm concerned, they still won't attack me.

[vernal wharf]

just a sec, i deleted the save where i was inside the freedom base xd

[shadow sapphire]

Just make sure you are totally hidden.

[shadow sapphire]

I dont think you and tortuga are having the same issue, explain yours to me.

[dense pawn]

Basically they can't see me. I'm in a pseudo God mode where I can still die but the AI can't recognize me.

The only exception is when I try and talk to them.

Then, and only then, they will shoot me.

[shadow sapphire]

Have you used any debug commands?

[dense pawn]

Debug mode is off

[shadow sapphire]

What armor are you wearing, and where are you?

[dense pawn]

I'm running up to a controller and a bunch of zombies atm as a Merc.

It includes animals and mutants.

[dense pawn]

They can't see me.

[shadow sapphire]

And now see if you get shot at

[shadow sapphire]

!modlist

[raw raft]

Send your mod list in this channel, learn how: #╭📖faq message

[vernal wharf]

Yeah, the guy still shoots me

[dense pawn]

I'm using the default mod list but one sec.

[vernal wharf]

Give me a sec and let me try it before even seeing him

[shadow sapphire]

Your companions are mercs by default right?

[vernal wharf]

yeah

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah, literally just hide for like 5 minutes

[vernal wharf]

And i left them behind also

[shadow sapphire]

Send your xray log too

[dense pawn]

!xray

[shadow sapphire]

go to #🤖bot-commands type !crash

[cunning hinge]

Somehow i can't loot bodys anymore or open the map or the companion wheel. had to restart 3 times now works for a while then same issue. Any fix known?

[shadow sapphire]

Go to #🤖bot-commands type !busyhands

[cunning hinge]

Thx

[shadow sapphire]

Have you never had a crash lol, its gonna take me a few minutes as this is almost a 40000 line log

[dense pawn]

I've had like one crash and it was like 10 hours ago.

[cunning hinge]

didn't change any animations tho...

[shadow sapphire]

Can still happen with default animations.

[vernal wharf]

Nope, hided from my companions, put the suit, took off the patch, sew it back on, first freedomer i saw started shooting

[shadow sapphire]

LOL thats actually amazing. 1 - Have you changed any settings from default in game. 2 - Any other weird issues. 3 - When you say you are running up to them how close? 4 - Can you send a picture of your inventory.

[tidal raft]

It's not that easy to lose your attackers.

When your cover is blown it will take about three minutes for the cooldown to wear off.

[dense pawn]

Outside of the advanced visual settings, just the campfire mod. Ran fine for hours before the bug appeared. One sec lemme launch the game again.

And I mean like... touching it. I am sprinting into it, trying to get in it's face. Knifing it. Bullying it. It does not wanna notice me.

[brisk zinc]

Can happen even with default animations
Or Mags Redux

[vernal wharf]

Haven't been to AW for 3 ingame days, i put the suit when i enter the map, and i just walk with no weapons on hand

[tidal raft]

If you try to attach your patch while still in high-profile the system will tell you "people remember you are a X-faction"

[vernal wharf]

It doesn't say that tho

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29VJ3sDvnak&ab_channel=GinoFabrizio also look at this

[tidal raft]

I can't even tell which disguise you are wearing.

You never showed your inventory.

[dense pawn]

I don't think it's disguise related because I took off my armor too.

[shadow sapphire]

Mercs wouldnt matter to zombies and conrtollers lol. Hes talking to Tortuga

[dense pawn]

I know no worries

[shadow sapphire]

As for you, have you tried leaving that map and coming back and see if that fixes your weird glitch?

[dense pawn]

Yup, I traveled all the way down to the swamps when I was exploiting it.

I thought it just needed a restart.

Since it appeared after I started my game. If I remember correctly.

To clarify, I haven't had crashes aside from one but I have closed my game several times over the course of many hours.

[shadow sapphire]

Have you ever used debug commands, doesnt have to be on this save?

[dense pawn]

Oh yeah, before I started the playthrough I tested around a bit with weapon modifications. Then deleted that save and started the game. This issue didn't appear till hours later though, I died from bullets many times.

[shadow sapphire]

hmmm. Im honestly not sure. Only way to fix would be to reload to a different save maybe, or you could try a gamma update and see if that helps. But I am not sure. Wish I had an answer

[dense pawn]

Does this help at all?

[shadow sapphire]

Nope

[dense pawn]

Guess I'll try and update. The saves I have that existed before the bug are too old for it to be worth it tbh.

[north turret]

In the last dawn when you are tasked with rescuing the rouge scout, where is he? I went to the location but there is nothing there

[shadow sapphire]

go to #🤖bot-commands type !scout

[north turret]

Thanks

[willow hawk]

Didn't you just shoot some Freedom by accident? @vernal wharf

[shadow sapphire]

If youre talking about in the video, that was on purpose not accident. Effectively no matter what he does, nor settings he adjusts in disguise in AW in merc disguise some of the freedom dudes randomly attack him. If he shoots them, none of the other NPCs even react to it. I can not replicate it and I tested with his gear.

[north turret]

Not the one in the Swamp but the one in the Outskirts with the monolith people

[willow hawk]

xray AI doing whatever

[north turret]

This one

[shadow sapphire]

Ah, go hunting around the area, should be some mono hiding like the cowards they are. Kill them, and go to the scouts in the building and they will talk to you.

[shadow sapphire]

Basically. It honestly looks like some of the AI just got disconnected from alife and are just doing what they want lol.

[north turret]

But there is just one random guy walking around

Who is a free stalker, is he the one I need to speak to?

There are some dead stalkers there too

[shadow sapphire]

What faction are the dead dudes?

[north turret]

Free stalker

He has Clear Sky armor though

[shadow sapphire]

There should be more, did you kill the monolith?

[north turret]

Didn't meet anyone

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah you literally need to go hunt around, they wander off. Find the monolith squads and kill them, eventually the task will update when you do thbat

[north turret]

So just go around the area and hunt for monolith

[shadow sapphire]

Yup

Check in buildings and stuff

[north turret]

okay

Now it's night so it should be a pain, but they will have their lights on at least

[finite sail]

does hip supposed to have any voice lines cuz i havent heard her say anything yet

[shadow sapphire]

I dont believe so

I could be wrong, but to my knowledge no. But I also dont do companions

[finite sail]

cuz i remember her talking in efp must have been a mod then

[shadow sapphire]

Could be.

[vernal wharf]

Sorry i was gone
Nope, even if i load from the autosave when i enter the AW, the same still happens, What i notice is that they are always the same who attack me on sight

[median stump]

Is there a reason "item usage animations" is unchecked?

[warped ginkgo]

Thats vanilla cam anims

[rocky crane]

i ran into the same bug. I'm dressed as a loner, 100% condition, it has the patch on it and I'm trying to talk to Strider in the clear sky quest

[warped ginkgo]

bc some items make you stop to equip or hide your weapon to use it

[rocky crane]

But for some reason they're all immediately hostile?

And I tried taking it off and putting it back on and it gives me the notification that I'll be assumed to be a free stalker. So its not like im Overt.

[fallen lion]

is there a way to make enemy footsteps louder? Can't seem to hear their boots at all

[shadow sapphire]

That busy hands command you used earlier, thats why

[dense pawn]

I went into debug mode. Apparently they can see but, but for some reason they're not attacking. Messed with relations, forcefully made people enemies, seems to be an npc logic issue.

AHA

One sec I think I figured it out

[shadow sapphire]

If you ever find out the answer to that let the entire community know, because the answer is no.

or at least, the answer is no one knows where that is lol

[dense pawn]

This is entirely empty on my newer saves.

[timber briar]

Hi, is it possible to completely reset a faction's enemy status towards you? I killed a lot of mercenaries and military, and even though I paid the 2-4 days of neutrality, I even managed to get some quests with them (goodwill is sitll low, around 300), I even signed up fort hose factions, after a few hours something happens and they start attacking me. Eg now I am mercenary, did some quests for mercenaries, and from thn air they start attacking me.

[shadow sapphire]

because your not looking at an NPC. Thats just giving you info about the NPC you are looking at.

[dense pawn]

I was looking at an NPC in both cases if that means anything.

[tidal raft]

The ceasefire only lasts while you don't enter their bases.

[dense pawn]

One sec

[timber briar]

I bypassed it kind of, I signed up with ecologists, mercenaries became neutral, then went to their base, did some quests and changed faction to mercenary. All was good for a few hours, then they started attacking me on the streets of Dead City :/ Question is - can I issue some console command to reset mercenaries hostility towards me completely?

[dense pawn]

Well that... crashed my game. ._.

[tidal raft]

Look through the menus of Debug, you'll find something.

[timber briar]

Pff. I went to Dead City base and everyone is pals with me 🙂 I think those are bounty squads triggered by me killing them in the past.

[dense pawn]

Tried everything and can't fix it, I think the best thing I can do is load an old save and cheat everything I had in.

[quaint shadow]

How do you move the mini map to the right side? i prefer it there

[versed tusk]

reinstall the addon in mo2

it has position options

oh wait

that is just the detection

hmm i dont know then other changing the x & y coords in the files most likely

[north turret]

Is there a way to disable or change the shitty headlamp and clean mask animation? With high hud fov the animations are buggy

[versed tusk]

someone correct me, but HUD FOV should stay at default because it breaks animations like that and makes scope ADS weird?

BaS has a specific value recommended to my knowledge

[north turret]

i dont know, i never had any problem

[versed tusk]

you are reporting a problem tho?

[north turret]

but they are vanilla animations not BaS animations

[versed tusk]

true that - it was just an example of what I DO know

someone might know better - I'd leave HUD FOV at default

[north turret]

yeah i think ill just do that, just wanted to know first

[shadow sapphire]

If there is no option for it in MCM or settings the answer is no, unless you want to unpack your files and modify the game files, which I would not advise.

[north turret]

also are the FDDA animations still not safe to enable?

[shadow sapphire]

Correct

[north turret]

ok

even with 0.6 of hud fov (which i think is the default) the animation is still broken

and here is with 1 of hud fov

[shadow sapphire]

A - What is your resolution, B - How many active mods?

[north turret]

A - 1080p B - 340

[shadow sapphire]

And what are the extra 10 mods?

[quiet rock]

guys, if i made changes in MCM (i already have one GAMMA MCM values) should i rename the "GAMMA MCM Values - rename to keep bla bla bla" so it will carry over all my custom settings + the new ones?

[shadow sapphire]

!modlist

[raw raft]

Send your mod list in this channel, learn how: #╭📖faq message

[shadow sapphire]

That will be way easier.

[versed tusk]

go to #🤖bot-commands and type !custom

[north turret]

ok

sorry

[versed tusk]

but yes

rename the MCM values to whatever you want

and keep those after an update

[shadow sapphire]

Which ever one you are using is the one you should backup

[quiet rock]

thing is i made some new changes and i want them to carry over. the question is if i remove the old Gamma MCM Values and rename the "default" one to add the old + new

[versed tusk]

new changes are still in the one you have active right now

[quiet rock]

ahhh thanks

[versed tusk]

[quiet rock]

that was the thing i had doubts about

thanks guys

[shadow sapphire]

This is not a vanilla gamma modlist. Also, animation not broken on default gamma modlist.

If you want help for your modlist please go to #🔨modded-gamma-support

[north turret]

Ok thanks

but what could broke the animation?

i dont have any animation mod enabled,

[shadow sapphire]

Animations - 0233","+","237- Bizon Replacer - Blackgrowl" "0228","+","232- Xenotech Protects Cordon Base - Malac88" "0225","+","229- Monsters Unstucker - Demonized" Mags Redux (Disable G.A.M.M.A. Unjam Reload) - RavenAscendant" "0387","+","Blindside's Knife Animations"

[terse hawk]

how do i turn off the stash weight limit?

[shadow sapphire]

All of those mods, and probably others include, change, alter, or add different animations

[shadow sapphire]

Enable the unlimited stash mod, or you can craft the hideout furniture boxes that have like 300lb stashes.

[north turret]

I'll try with those mods disabled but i dont think they modify the headlamp animations

i think its just the hud fov

[terse hawk]

ok thnx is there a guide for the hideout boxes? where do you get them?

[shadow sapphire]

They dont modify that specific one, and its could indeed be the FOV, but all of those mod do mess with animations. Its a common thing that people say, oh but the mod doesnt do X, its not about what the mod necessairly does as much as about what it interferes with. Either way, you still have a custom modlist at this point, so please go to #🔨modded-gamma-support

[shadow sapphire]

Craft them

[shadow sapphire]

Or buy from trader

[unborn mural]

Hey Stalkers, I'm having framerate issues; despite referencing the troubleshooting guide in the Helpers section. Doesn't matter what DX version I'm running on, I've got all the rehsades turned off- I can't make it through the Army Warehouses without consistent stutters. The rig has a 3070ti, an i9 and plenty of RAM. Any settings you guys recommend messing with?

[shadow sapphire]

Constant stutters, or happen at certain points?

[unborn mural]

I'm really noticing it when I make it past the merc checkpoint coming out of the dead city; and then every so often after that

[shadow sapphire]

Is it mainly looking toward or being near campfires that you notice it the most?

[vast pumice]

Im dumb is there an inspect button for guns?

[unborn mural]

@shadow sapphire I'll check some out and see

[shadow sapphire]

Disable the mod called "disabled inspect on"

[vast pumice]

alright

[shadow sapphire]

should be in GAMMA fixes

[shadow sapphire]

Well I guess the first couple things you did core 0, are you running the turn this on if you stutter mod, and did you mess with any settings in ZCP?

[unborn mural]

core 0 is indeed off, have not tried the stutter mod or any settings in ZCP; I'll dig around for the stutter mod though. Highly appreciate the assistance 🤘

[shadow sapphire]

Stutter mod should be in GAMMA fixes I believe, you can try turning ZCP down a bit, but shouldnt really be necessary with your specs. Make sure you are on the latest gamma on anomaly 1.5.2 (it runs way smoother) and if it is campfire related, turn on triple buffering in your nvidia control panel.

[quaint shadow]

anyway to make a stash?

[shadow sapphire]

Damnit Falco, how is that not a command. Yes, the boxes from hideout furniture, you can by them at traders, you can also use backpacks (which are not great) and you can craft them under the furniture category.

[unborn mural]

I'll look into that one then! I'll dork around with ZCP, have that pulled up now too. I also did a fresh install of Anomaly and a fresh update to 1.5.2. I'll keep bashing my head at it, blown away with how nice it can look

[shadow sapphire]

Ill say this, you have better specs then me and I pull a solid 60-80 fps with only the occasional stutter when stuff is loading

[unborn mural]

Weird man. Maybe I fucked up my install somehow.

everything looked green though, had no issues with instruction

[shadow sapphire]

Ill be honest, mods can always be iffy with performance. Ill say this though, Im running total default settings, and just have the stutter mod, and the triple buffering done.

[unborn mural]

Word. Was the stutter mod included with the pack, or do I need to grab that and stick it in manually?

[shadow sapphire]

included

GAMMA fixes seperator, all the way at the bottom of GAMMA fixes

[unborn mural]

Found it! Flipped triple buffering on too; I'll give this a shot. Really appreciate your time

Yeah, that helped out a TON. Didn't freeze up when I passed the checkpoint; just super tiny stutters now, but I can mess with the in game graphics settings now

[shadow sapphire]

Good, im glad it worked, have fun in GAMMA

[unborn mural]

Will do! Cheers pal 🤘

[signal wolf]

whats the button to inspect weapon?

[quaint shadow]

Can I sell weapons to traders or is that out of the question?

[shadow sapphire]

#│📚manual

[signal wolf]

@quaint shadow ive been able to sell some weapons that were in super good condition

[shadow sapphire]

No you cant sell/buy weapons or armor.

[shadow sapphire]

!modlist

[raw raft]

Send your mod list in this channel, learn how: #╭📖faq message

[shadow sapphire]

Which weapons/traders that is a bug

[shadow sapphire]

disable the mod called Disable inspect

[signal wolf]

oh i have no idea it was a while ago i just happen to glance at an sks i had and it wasnt reded out

[viscid sparrow]

after desabling the miracle machine nothing hapens? or am I missing something?

[signal wolf]

thx

[shadow sapphire]

Are you running vanilla gamma?

[shadow sapphire]

What do you mean?

[signal wolf]

wym vanilla?

[shadow sapphire]

As in you did not change any of the mods, and have the base 330?

[signal wolf]

i have 332

[shadow sapphire]

can you send your modlist please?

[viscid sparrow]

Ive disabled the machine (the mission), Sakarov told me to pass time a time on the bunker, but when I talk to him nothing new... , no reward

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah the reward was he sold you the psy helmet

That was the deal, he sold you the helmet and you would disable the miracle machine.

[viscid sparrow]

Lol... I dont need if I want to, ty for the info xD

[shadow sapphire]

You did get the helmet first right?

[viscid sparrow]

YEP

[shadow sapphire]

Hmmm you are a bit outdated, but you still shouldnt have been able to sell any weapons. Do you remember which trader at all? Even the map would be helpful

[signal wolf]

no i have no idea man. if i see it again ill for sure let you know

how do you know im out of date?

im still having an issue viewing enemy pdas

[shadow sapphire]

Mods that are there and should not be, mods that are missing that should be there.

[signal wolf]

gotcha

should update?

[shadow sapphire]

Yup, its best to stay updated. First thing most of us are going to say when helping you is that you have not updated.

[signal wolf]

so i should update the do only the addons?

[shadow sapphire]

Full install

so Update GAMMA Data -> Full GAMMA Install

[idle portal]

Question, if I enable the trader overhaul, do I need to disable anything to get it to work so merchants will actually sell shit?

[gritty minnow]

Where can I sell artefacts?

[shadow sapphire]

So the first part of your question: go to #🤖bot-commands type !to. But just to make sure, are you trying to get buying and selling guns back, or just TO?

[shadow sapphire]

At any trader

[gritty minnow]

Artefacts like the Jellyfish I mean

[shadow sapphire]

At any trader. What is the condition of it?

[gritty minnow]

Ohhh it has to be in good condition?...

[shadow sapphire]

Yes

[idle portal]

Yeah that answers most of it. I'm guessing I'd need to disable gamma economy to get guns and armor available? or some like that.

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah go back to bot commands and type !vanilla

[jagged kettle]

where do the new cars spawn??

[shadow sapphire]

Darkscape

[jagged kettle]

Thanks man!

[idle portal]

Thank you, that's all I needed to know.

[signal wolf]

@shadow sapphire do you know what number that Disable inspect is?

[terse sun]

quick question - do default graphic settings in gamma when updating gamma data reflect some default graphical settings or is it just standard anomaly settings?

[shadow sapphire]

Its in gamma fixes towards the bottom

[shadow sapphire]

No idea to be honest.

[signal wolf]

found it. it was in gamma hud for me

[shadow sapphire]

ummm

Interesting.

[gusty lintel]

Any way to turn debug mode on through mod organizer? Its not popping up the anomaly launcher anymore so I cant click it

[shadow sapphire]

Go to #🤖bot-commands type !debug

[gusty lintel]

Thanks!

[worthy slate]

How does the artifact system work?
Like I have an artifact and what do I do with it? Use it or put it in one of those application devices?

[shadow sapphire]

Depends on what it is, and what your goals are. I would read #│📚manual

The #╭📖faq also has a section on artifacts.

[edgy echo]

If I understood correctly your question; Gamma has its own default graphic settings, they differ from base anomaly settings.

[terse sun]

yes, that's what I meant to ask, thanks!

[clear tinsel]

anyone remember where to find the keybind setting for checking loaded ammo count? I have just updated and am trying to reapply all my settings

[shadow sapphire]

Did you enable the ammo check mod? It's no longer in mags by default

[clear tinsel]

oooh. I did not

No wonder I could not find it

Thank you

[signal wolf]

what does the ammo check mod do?

i thought ammo was desplayed in bottom left at all times

[clear tinsel]

I have that turned off for better immersion. Ammo check adds a keybind to manually check ammo in current mag

gives a rough idea, not a value. I think its Full>more than half>about half>less than half>empty

[signal wolf]

does he check the mag tarkov style?

[clear tinsel]

No idea, I don't play tarkov

[signal wolf]

does he pull the mag out and look at the bullets in it?

[terse sun]

(no, it doesn't check like tarkov, doesn't do anything at all, just text)

[signal wolf]

oh gotcha thanks

[clear tinsel]

Would be a nice immersion add if the added the anim. Could probably get it from the start and finish of the normal reload anims but I know nothing about modding

[terse hawk]

how to enable ally dots on minimap?

[gritty minnow]

Are ecologists the best faction? 😮

They seem to have the most neutral relations from what i'm seeing

[terse sun]

depends on what you mean the best faction

[brisk zinc]

You need the tier 3 PDA

[terse hawk]

oh okie ty

[gritty minnow]

There are different meanings?

[terse sun]

everything on the planet has different meanings

judging by relations then yes, ecologists are good

judging by equipment and firepower, far from best

[terse hawk]

for me i always like to roleplay loner and not an egghead

[terse sun]

judging by locations and their bases, there are better factions for that too

[terse hawk]

plus being enemies to merc gives a good loot source for nato stuff

[lunar cedar]

anyone got a gamma vanilla user.ltx for me, messed something up with shaders

[idle bough]

can anyone tell me if I can make unlimited weight for stashes?

[crude oyster]

there's an option in the MO2 launcher for it, just look for "unlimited stash weight" and check the box

[gritty minnow]

In terms of equipment and firepower, who would you say are the most stacked?

[terse sun]

something along the lines of monolith, freedom, merc, duty, possibly ISG (if we judge by firepower of a single soldier)

[idle bough]

what tab is it under?

[shadow sapphire]

It would be either gamma fixes or unlimited stashes

[idle bough]

found it thank you

[rain cargo]

two questions, who buys good condition guns? and who sells guns, both merchants ive found do neither

[shadow sapphire]

No one.

Seriously, not a troll. In GAMMA you can not buy or sell weapons.

Or armor

[rain cargo]

so find guns you like and repair them?

im good with that just making sure

[terse sun]

yes

same with armor

[shadow sapphire]

I would highly recommend if you haven't to read #│📚manual which is also available in game on your PDA. Almost every single stalker core game system has been changed

[digital wind]

where can i get the tool kits for repair?

do i only get them after leveling up and buying from the trader

[shadow sapphire]

Like basic tools/advanced tools or like historic weapon kit?

[digital wind]

historic

[shadow sapphire]

Repair kits and tool kits are 2 different things.

[digital wind]

repair kits sry

[shadow sapphire]

Craft them. Buying from a trader doesn't level them up.

[digital wind]

i need the recipe to craft?

[shadow sapphire]

No

[digital wind]

never mind

[shadow sapphire]

I would highly suggest your read #│📚manual

[digital wind]

i thought it was like vanilla anomoly where you find the paper isntructions

thank you

[shadow sapphire]

Nothing is like vanilla

[terse sun]

you can also buy them if your supply level from the trader is high enough but really, they're so easy to craft and much cheaper that way it's not even worth buying it under any circumstance

[fathom cape]

will updating my gamma ruin my saves?

[shadow sapphire]

No

Unless you have a really old version of gamma

[fathom cape]

alright sweet

[shadow sapphire]

Are you having crashes you need to fix or was that it?

[fathom cape]

only been crashing once every few hours so gonna see if updating will fix

[shadow sapphire]

Out of curiosity when did you update last?

[fathom cape]

so will updating gamma reset my load order? like the default mods ticked? cause it shows 327.
and it was a few weeks ago, not too long but i did tick some extra mods, so was thinking that may have been the reason

[shadow sapphire]

Well depends on which mods you ticked and yes it will change your load order, also you'll need to update anomaly as well if it's been that long

[fathom cape]

thats the thing, i dont remember lol. and i need to update anomaly?

how would i do that

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah gamma is no longer on 1.5.1.2 but is now on 1.5.2

!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

[fathom cape]

how can i check what ver im running cause i did a fresh install of everything a few weeks ago

[shadow sapphire]

Then it's 1.5.1.2 gamma didn't update to 1.5.2 until last week

[fathom cape]

gotcha

[shadow sapphire]

But you can always launch vanilla anomaly and look in bottom left

[fathom cape]

alright all done, will see if this helped, im sure it will. thanks @shadow sapphire

[spiral pasture]

should I ever do a full clean install? or does the full install button handle everything

[pure scarab]

are the parts inside the gun supposed to be repairing when i clean the gun?

same goes for outfit

[shadow sapphire]

Full install handles it. No need to do a clean install unless there is an issue or grok says to in #📢announcements

[shadow sapphire]

Guns no. But if you keep the gun clean it will prevent the parts from taking damage. Outfits yes.

[pure scarab]

hmm then i have a extra mod thats making that happen

[shadow sapphire]

!modlist

[raw raft]

Send your mod list in this channel, learn how: #╭📖faq message

How are you cleaning the gun?

And yes please

[pure scarab]

using oils

ok i will swend on dms

[shadow sapphire]

Not right click clean barrel or whatever?

Why dm?

[pure scarab]

yep none of that

[pure scarab]

cause for some reason my small brain tough it would send a long message ehre

[shadow sapphire]

Lol no worries

Which gun?

[pure scarab]

any

or i should say

all

[shadow sapphire]

When did you update gamma last?

[pure scarab]

couple hours ago when grok updated it

[shadow sapphire]

Has this always been happening or only since update?

[pure scarab]

no but i only really noticed now

i never had to clean a part of my gun or replace it

other then the time i find it

[shadow sapphire]

Ever?

[pure scarab]

i might remove all the aditional mods it have and see which ones are affecting it

[pure scarab]

yeah ever

i do run with mags redux tho

might that be it?

[shadow sapphire]

So additional mods looks like mags, and the stuff for that, and trader overhaul right?

[pure scarab]

yeah

[shadow sapphire]

Anything else?

[pure scarab]

and dead bodies animation, but i doubt that it would affect that

[shadow sapphire]

Ok so you have 334?

[pure scarab]

333 becuse i forgot to add mags to traders

[shadow sapphire]

Ok. First disable mags mods and see if that changes it, if not mags then trader overhaul is next to disable

[pure scarab]

ok i will damage my guns a bit and i will come back

with results

[shadow sapphire]

Ok

[pure scarab]

huh....

i think its me?

being weird?

since i keep my guns in good condition all the time

[shadow sapphire]

Hahaha. What's the lowest you let them get?

[pure scarab]

idk 85?

90?

[shadow sapphire]

Ummmm no.

The parts should take damage by then.

[pure scarab]

well now that i am looking at some of my guns some parts did take damage

but like 1 or 2

and they havent left the green yet

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah they don't take damage fast

Unless you don't clean the gun

[pure scarab]

well idk, like the mods on my AK are all on 99, and the barrel is on 93

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah barrel usually goes first

[pure scarab]

eh idk, i will try again tomorrow, and save before i repair to see if its actualy happening

truth be told i dont use alot of ammo and shoot alot if dont need, i guess my conservatism on ammo is saving the guns quality

[shadow sapphire]

Could be!

[pure scarab]

anywhere i can get more stashes?? i am trying to get a nomad suit

[shadow sapphire]

Tasks, bodies, traders

[warped ginkgo]

are all new more dynamic loot spots meant to spawn in a new game?

or from all of those spots in the .ltx only some spawn

i accidentaly trew a granade in the middle of the bar

thank god no one shot me ded

xD

[gritty minnow]

Christ the AK 5C special shortened kit's scope is so bad...

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah, known issue, it's a PiP scope from BaS.

[soft niche]

Ak-101 or ak-74n? What should i keep

[exotic creek]

anyone know if gamma uses artefact renovation?

[shadow sapphire]

It uses some of the demonized stuff and it's own artifact modifications

[buoyant stump]

depends on what ammo you run

5.56, ak101, 5.45 ak-74n

[daring lantern]

With the new emission change, is it possible to change back to NPCs not exploding? Don't care too much about the free loot, it just doesn't make sense since there's a drug that lets you survive an emission (Haven't actually used it in GAMMA yet though, admittedly)

And uh... That's a really powerful drug if it keeps you from exploding.

[shadow sapphire]

There is not just a setting for it

[daring lantern]

Ah. That's unfortunate. :/

[exotic creek]

yes

just go into your settings under emissions and switch to kill

[daring lantern]

Eh, that'll work. Thanks

Unrelated, what does the Companions Rework actually do?

[median stump]

Is nothing supposed to spawn in any of the green little tool boxes? I havent found anything in them at all

[shadow sapphire]

Go to #🤖bot-commands type !stash

[median stump]

Sorry not the stash ones, but all lootable containers?

[shadow sapphire]

Those are stashes

[median stump]

Ah ok

[median stump]

I was watching a playthrough of gamma and saw him find some stuff in each one so i was a bit confused if i was bugged

[shadow sapphire]

Nope, unless you get the location it's going to be empty

[median stump]

Interesting

[shadow sapphire]

Best way to progress is to take tasks for people

[gritty minnow]

How do I equip the Psy Helmet?

Or is it just fine in the inventory?

[clear tinsel]

without spoilers: is the ventilation complex a puzzle to be solved or is it item dependent (like a specific artefact)

[shadow sapphire]

It is a puzzle.

[clear tinsel]

Thank you. Was not sure if I was wasting my time

[shadow sapphire]

You're welcome, I had to look up the same question first time I came across it.

[indigo linden]

Hi 🙂 I'm not sure if this is a correct place to ask, but I appear to have been cursed (or maybe blessed) with some kind of no aggro status. I have tried reloading the save, reloading the map, restarting the game I've even tried taking off my armour in case something bugged with disguise system. Unfortunately no monster will attack me. I'm still affected by controller (meaning I pull the trigger on myself) but no mob will attack me. Not chimera, not bloodsucker not even a boar. When I create a new game though, everything works as intended, mutants attack me correctly. Thus I come in hopes of finding a way of fixing it, as it kind of ruins the experience.

[shadow sapphire]

!modlist

[raw raft]

Send your mod list in this channel, learn how: #╭📖faq message

[shadow sapphire]

Please send your mod list

[shadow sapphire]

You are a bit out of date on gamma but not too bad. Are you able to interact with things? Anything else weird happening?

[indigo linden]

Everything else seems to be working perfectly

Also I did download the modpack the day before yesterday so I shouldn't be out of date as far as I know

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah its a couple patches out, grok lately has been putting out at least 1 patch a day lately. Did you use debug for anything even on another save?

[indigo linden]

No, I didn't.

[willow hawk]

Updates are daily

One way of figuring it out: launch the installer and “Update gamma data “

If you are up to date you’ll know ❤️

[shadow sapphire]

It almost sounds like you are in incognito mode from debug. Do you have debug turned on?

[indigo linden]

Well now I do. Since I wanted to see if I am in incognito mode or not I did enable it a few minutes ago to check.

[shadow sapphire]

Try turning incognito mode on and off hit f7 and it should be an option in one of the top left box or bottom left box

[indigo linden]

I did try it, it changed nothing unfortunately

But I updated GAMMA just now so I'll check

[shadow sapphire]

You did update gamma data -> and then full gamma install correct? ( it won't download any that are up to date)

[indigo linden]

I used only install GAMMA addons option. Now I'm doing it the full gamma install way

[shadow sapphire]

If you are going to update always check #📢announcements grok will usually say which method has to be used.

[clear tinsel]

Is there a way to "repair" artefacts without finding duplicates? I just picked up the oasis one and my understanding is that it is unique

[shadow sapphire]

No such thing as a unique artifact when you can craft them 🙂 and congrats on the puzzle

[vivid pawn]

Anyone knows how could I disable shaders or any way to stop game freezing?

[shadow sapphire]

What's happening with the game? If you just want to turn the shaders off go to #old-framerate-optimisation and follow the guide there, but there might be a better solution

[clear tinsel]

Do artefacts degrade over time?

[vivid pawn]

Well I have a good pc but when I tryed to play anomaly with gamma in dx11-avx it gives me freezzes next to spawn at Cordon

[shadow sapphire]

Not radioactive ones

[shadow sapphire]

Like hard lock freezes or stutters

[vivid pawn]

Stutters

[shadow sapphire]

Turn on the turn this on if you stutter mod, it's in the gamma fixes category and then also which version of gamma do you have, and did you adjust zcp settings?

[gritty minnow]

Sweet jesus the recoil on the AK 12 Monolith

Is there any way to reduce this recoil?

[shadow sapphire]

Upgrades, the tactical kit, supressor

[gritty minnow]

Hmmm forgive me @shadow sapphire but what does handling do in the stats of the gun?

[indigo linden]

After performing an update the correct way my issue is still present unfortunately.

[carmine wyvern]

Speed of resetting of Recoil to the guns Default Position after firing

[shadow sapphire]

No need to forgive, but you had to pick the complicated on XD handling to my knowledge affects basically everything in small amounts, but reload speed, resetting of recoil, and ads speed I believe are the big ones

[carmine wyvern]

Reload speed shouldnt be affected

[vivid pawn]

It looks like it works better but still getting some frezze. I have the RC 3.2 version.
Also I have seen that game its using GPU to high levels

[shadow sapphire]

Hmmm. Honestly I'm sorta at a loss here, to me it sounds like either a - alife just broke, or b - the game thinks you are in incognito mode. I would try backing up the save and reinstalling anomaly (which would unfortunately mean another gamma install) there is a possibility that it could be the save itself. You seem to be running default though, are there any mod settings you adjusted at all before?

[indigo linden]

Not at all

[shadow sapphire]

When was your last update?

[vivid pawn]

Yesterday when I installed it

[gritty minnow]

Hmmm.. Which means it's better to pick handling over fire rate then

[indigo linden]

But I can confirm that loading an older save fixes the issue. Unfortunately it also means losing almost a day of playing the game.

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah then honestly if new games are working fine honestly I think something happened to your save.

[shadow sapphire]

I wish I had a better answer.

[bold fulcrum]

hey guys sorry for barging in but where can i disable gamma unjam reload for mags redux

[shadow sapphire]

It depends on what you want from the gun. I personally prefer recoil as the most important, and in a choice between handling and fire rate it would depend on the gun and what I want it for.

[shadow sapphire]

In mo2 bottom right in the left filter box type unjam also make sure that you turn on ammo check if you want to be able to check the mags for ammo and not use the hud in bottom left.

[indigo linden]

No matter. I'll just do it all again No, but honestly, thank you very much for your help. 🙂

[shadow sapphire]

What graphics card do you have?

[vivid pawn]

NVIDIA RTX 3060 ti

[shadow sapphire]

You're welcome! Hopefully you get even better loot! Have a good time in gamma!

[gritty minnow]

Right now i'm trying to deck out my ak 12 monolith, but the recoil is so high christ

[shadow sapphire]

Do you have debug on? Also games should be using 90% on gpu, it means it's actually trying to use what you have. I know it's weird but so are GPUs.

[vivid pawn]

How could I know if I have it on?

[shadow sapphire]

So for that I personally would do fire rate, but I only us ak12 mono for up close so I care about more bullets down range. If you want to lessen the recoil then do handling.

[shadow sapphire]

Hit F7 if nothing pops up then the answer is no

[bold fulcrum]

thanks

[shadow sapphire]

Anytime, have a good time in gamma!

[vivid pawn]

Into the game or at my desktop?

[shadow sapphire]

In game. If you don't have the game open that's fine just say so

[vivid pawn]

In that case its a no. I closed it

[shadow sapphire]

No worries. Go to your Nvidia control panel and turn on triple buffering.

[minor bone]

!deadzone

[raw raft]

How to bring back the default look for the Zone: #╭📖faq message

[vivid pawn]

It feels better but problem remain

[shadow sapphire]

I would follow the steps in #old-framerate-optimisation then.

[vivid pawn]

Im going to try it. Thank you for your help!

[buoyant stump]

if i convert a pistol to a different caliber, does the magazine size change?

i want to try and run a px4 storm and that .45 conversion is looking good

[shadow sapphire]

Anytime! Have fun in gamma!

[shadow sapphire]

Are you using mags?

[buoyant stump]

nope

[shadow sapphire]

Then I don't believe so but I could be way wrong to be honest.

[buoyant stump]

alright, no problem

another question, how does that MP rex revolver performs?

revolver sounds like fun

[shadow sapphire]

No idea. Haven't ever used it, actually just found my first one. I know the animations are supposed to be cool though.

[buoyant stump]

yeah, ill test it out when im back at base then

barrel is like 10% on this one lol

[shadow sapphire]

So is mine, but as I've never used it, decided I should keep it and fix it at some point just for fun

[terse hawk]

if i disable "full percentage parts" does that mean a part that wouldve been 60% will be 75 or 50?

[shadow sapphire]

Oof, to be honest with you I am not sure how that option interacts with GAMMA.

[gritty minnow]

Any tips for radar area?... The amount of mutants are... Sweet lord...

[shadow sapphire]

Haha. Bring a .45 or a good shotty, but make sure you have good ballistic protection and a ton of ammo that can pen decent armor.

[gritty minnow]

Any shotty ammo will do?

[shadow sapphire]

If your bringing a shotty you'll want a good amount of buck shot, and some ap slugs

[warm remnant]

Do any mutants have armor? Like do their skin count as an armor value, or is it best to use HP / .357 for all of them? Because I'd think the pseudogiant and maybe chimera's would have tough skin that could count as a sort of armor, so just wanna make sure

[terse hawk]

yea im not sure which one is gamma's default either because the options in the new character menu and preset options arent the same cuz i started a new character with hard difficulty it gave me 50 kg max weight for some reason

[wild bane]

I load into a new save on a new install of stalker as a loner and i am met with a black screen after I load in. I can still see im inventory and chat but not the actual game? fixes?

[shadow sapphire]

HP/357/12GA/Hydroshock for mutants. They do not have armor like stalkers do, however they do have weak spots. If you don't hit weak spots damage is mitigated

[shadow sapphire]

Go to #🤖bot-commands type !blackscreen

[shadow sapphire]

Default is the non rounding one.

[waxen bay]

im trying to complete a mission called From Ukraine with love and its telling me to kill the spy teammates but i cant seem to find his team and he wont stop shotting me even tho hes alone

is this a bug or are his team all over the map?

[shadow sapphire]

Is this at the rostok checkpoint?

[waxen bay]

near freedom base

like directly outside

[versed tusk]

There might still be one hiding

[waxen bay]

btw if hes dressed up as a bandit does that mean his team is full bandits or are there other factions inside

[shadow sapphire]

Also the spy doesn't actually shoot you, if the dude shooting you doesn't have an sks in his hands kill him.

[smoky dome]

picked up "Defend pump station" from cold but when I talk to the commander of the guards here nothing special in his dialouge

[waxen bay]

how do i know what he has

[waxen bay]

i killed him once and failed the mission

[shadow sapphire]

Reload

[waxen bay]

he wont stop shooting me

[versed tusk]

the quest text tells you

and yes, relaod

[smoky dome]

I am tho

[versed tusk]

stupid question, are you talking to the right one?

[smoky dome]

welp guess this quest is bugged for me

I did reload already and nothing changed

[versed tusk]

got a save before you took the quest?

[smoky dome]

oh before I take the quest?

nope

[shadow sapphire]

Do you have one of before you get to the station?

[smoky dome]

yea

[versed tusk]

damn - i always do a quick and a hard save before i take quests

[smoky dome]

I reloaded to that one and still no change

[waxen bay]

do the squad usually stay together?

[wild bane]

nothing is fixing this D: ive tried all the steps with !blackscreen

[graceful iron]

the screen is black once you load into the game?

[wild bane]

Yep[

no crash

I can still hear and stuff

[smoky dome]

get this but nothing else

[shadow sapphire]

Usually yes, always, no. Did you get the quest in aw or a different map?

[graceful iron]

you deleted the shader cache manually from the anomaly/appdata folder ?

[wild bane]

Yes

[waxen bay]

i got the quest from rostok

[shadow sapphire]

Reload to before you enter AW

[waxen bay]

ok

[graceful iron]

they could have went a bit further from him, but with how squad variance seems to spawn squads of 1 stalker sometimes it could be that

see if the reload helps

[graceful iron]

how many addons active? any red X's and did you disable anything? also, which dx are you launching ?

[wild bane]

think I found the problem o.o

I needed re install all the rendering things

[graceful iron]

dont verify installation through the anomaly launcher

[graceful iron]

wait

[wild bane]

?

[graceful iron]

the verifying function in the anomaly launcher is only used for vanilla anomaly

[wild bane]

I know I was just looking at it and noticed that

[graceful iron]

if the exes are modified (in gamma, they are), it will tell you that they are corrupt

[wild bane]

im so confused

[graceful iron]

this doesn mean anything, and its not the issue causing the black screen

[wild bane]

gamma still used base anomaly rendering tho it doesnt create dx11 again

[graceful iron]

you were launching the game through mo2 ?

[wild bane]

I clicked launch anomaly

[graceful iron]

there should be a mo2 shortcut on your desktop if you installed gamma correctly

[wild bane]

Yea

there is

[wild bane]

Yea

I laucnhed that and directly laucnhed gamma anoamly from that

[graceful iron]

ok

[wild bane]

everything Is still there

my hand is still there but hidden behind blackness

[graceful iron]

you are launching vanilla anomaly

not gamma

[wild bane]

how

is that possible

I luanched it from gamma

[graceful iron]

did you use the installer ? and followed the #old-how-to ?

[wild bane]

Yes

I launch it from gamma

[shadow sapphire]

Cat, so you know he had to do a move earlier. Told me he did the .exe adjust, and said it was right, and launching gamma. But probably .exe paths.

[graceful iron]

can you screenshot the mo2 ?

[wild bane]

I get this aswell

[wild bane]

sure

[graceful iron]

did he change the managed game or at least check that its pointing to the correct path ?

[shadow sapphire]

Said he did, and that it was all working thanked me then came back with this issue

[wild bane]

SHII

i knwo

im an idiot

0 active

How do i fix that lmao 💀

im braindead

[graceful iron]

that is launching a vanilla anomaly. did you install a new anomaly folder, or use the same one you installed gamma with and just moved it?

[wild bane]

I have the anomally folder in the same directory as gamma? i selected that folder in the instalation

Should I try and re install it?

[graceful iron]

the paths are correct

at least mo2 says so

[wild bane]

yea thats weird it just says non of them are active?

[graceful iron]

you can try running the installer as admin > update data > full installation

wait

did you update anomaly to 1.5.2 ?

[wild bane]

Yep

Ill just re go through that proccess again and see if any errors apear again

It says the addons are already installed

everything is installed they just arent activ

how do I activiate the,

[graceful iron]

you can click only install gamma addons then

it will enable the default modlist

[wild bane]

ok

[terse hawk]

how do i use the side scope on the ak specialist?

[versed tusk]

default is V

[terse hawk]

sweet ty

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

[torn totem]

Hello guys, I have two questions. Is weapon inspect a thing or it only happen while picking up weapon for first time? And my radio does not work, i have to do something in order to make it playing? Thank you.

[versed tusk]

The PDA radio should work, at least when I tested it a while back. just select a station and press play.
Gun inspection I can't say - playing with Mags redux and he inspects it when i press unjam key

[torn totem]

I understand, Im gonna try tweaking this weapon inspection thing out. Sadly I did everything even tried in different zones and it doenst want to play. I dont mind too much. But anyways thank you for help.

[versed tusk]

someone might have better info for you - its 2 of the features I barely ever use

we have a great OST now and the bases play music too

[bold fulcrum]

i have mags redux rn, i have the magazines in my loadout yet i cant reload. it does this inspect animation thing

what seems to be the prob?

[torn totem]

I understand, gonna catch up with people later maybe someone know the answer. Also is it safe to disable "increase companion distance"?

[buoyant stump]

alright is there a quick way to make companions immortal?

i dragged my guy into brain scorcher, disabled it and hes getting torn apart because the monolith spawned at the other end of the lab

nothing i can do at all

[shadow sapphire]

Hit f10, for some reason it's the default, you can rebind it

[versed tusk]

did you follow the guide?

yeah you need to rebind Reload and Unjam after deactivating the unjam/reload addon

[bold fulcrum]

ah alr

[shadow sapphire]

Oof, I know those feels. Honestly you could turn on the companion teleport and just keep teleporting him to you

[buoyant stump]

ok, it's J by default right?

[shadow sapphire]

Yes. Just make sure to turn the mod on first XD (I would never make that mistake... I didn't get my pack mule killed no sir)

[buoyant stump]

ill enable it real quick then

[compact birch]

hmm, standing next to barkeep talking to him during an emission, randomly die. reload and am standing next to voronin, randomly die. detecting a pattern here. lol.

[versed tusk]

you might have an artefact on your belt with -% psy res

[compact birch]

yeah, a jellyfish probably... but christ I am in a cs pathfinder suit with a sphere 12

[terse hawk]

hmm is it me or freelook really op? it's like 1.5x mag right? do you guys abuse it much or nah?

[graceful iron]

you mean freezoom ? it zooms a bit but slows you down

you can always just craft or start with a binos instead if freezoom feels cheaty or unimmersive

[compact birch]

yeah, good stuff man, jellyfish on slowly losing hp even with psyblock... jellyfish off, im straight. hah. silly.

[willow hawk]

you are way slower when using it and scopes or binocs give a better zoom

so it's good, but spamming it makes you slower

[terse hawk]

hmm i find that im always using it to snipe, so movement isnt an issue

im just gonna turn it off, it feels pretty cheaty its like you always have a 1.5x scope on your weapon and you never need to ads

would be pretty cool if you could only use it after some bionics-like upgrade or smth

[willow hawk]

yes it's intended

use it for sniping before getting a scope

scopes zoom much more

so all in all it's balanced

[terse hawk]

doesnt that make ads obsolete tho? or do you get accuracy bonus if you ads i forgot

[willow hawk]

you can zoom while ADS dude

yes ADS gives lower recoil and spread usually

it's mainly to save your eyes that I added this

[terse hawk]

oh yeah i forgot, i find that the freezoom doesnt give any shaking though

[willow hawk]

because shooting 2 pixels is really annoying

[terse hawk]

yeah that's fair, i usually would just squint hard

[willow hawk]

especially when the said pixels can see you easily and shoot you accurately

[compact birch]

Grok, came over after some efp playthroughs, i zoned into DV for the first time and it was like the thunderdome. had a chimera fighting boars, bloodsuckers, lurkers, cats

[willow hawk]

DV ?

[compact birch]

dark valley

[willow hawk]

ah

yes that map is fuckin wild

mutants are often in number to put emphasis on acquiring good mutant hunting gear

using 5.45 gun with HP rounds is a good tactic for instance

(MP7 / P90 in pistol slot, 5.45 with HP rounds, Sniper loadout)

[compact birch]

you know what else is wild, looting a monolith and turning around with one sneaking up on you, while looting, lolz

[willow hawk]

that's why we play this game

[compact birch]

yeah i mean he had me dead to rights but snuck up on me on purpose, wounded the hell out of me... so i returned the favor, killed one around a corner with a silencer, and murdered his buddies one by one while they were checking the corpse

[graceful iron]

[terse hawk]

is the game default max weight supposed to be 50? the new character presets starts with that but the settings page presets give 15-30

[willow hawk]

yes

[terse hawk]

phew even with that im always overburdened

[versed tusk]

prioritise getting a good backpack, cook cured meat for buffs, use drugs

[terse hawk]

yea good idea, but theres no cure for being a loot goblin

my fondest memories from stalker is taking an hour to use shift + f to carry 200 kg worth of junk from garbage to cordon

im so glad gamma removed it lol

[versed tusk]

come again when you haul 1.6 tons from GS to Jupiter because you wanna move hideout haha

[willow hawk]

take everyting and fast travel to stash

[terse hawk]

jesus fuck you didnt wanna cheap out and use fast travel?

[willow hawk]

this is allowed in gamma vanilla

[graceful iron]

using backpack fast travel is the only sane way of moving that much stuff

[willow hawk]

only to player stashes though

it's recommended to make a "free empty stash" at your base so you can fast travel to it and deposit 300kg worth of shit

make two of them and enjoy moving 600kg

[terse hawk]

huh, is my math wrong or is the dvojak oil (>50%) 2 times cheaper than duzak (>60%) oil?

shouldnt that be reversed?

[gritty minnow]

Damn it... Is the loot pool random everytime you die?

I had an FN SCAR and an M4 Butcher before I died and when I cleared the area I didn't find it anymore

[versed tusk]

it is indeed

[waxen bay]

is there any way i can repair something thats below 15 percent

[versed tusk]

armor part or gun part?

[warm remnant]

Is Red Forest north enough to find expert toolset in stashes?

[waxen bay]

both and armor

[versed tusk]

well

for armor, it repairs the parts inside when you up the condition

for gun parts, there is a kit that can repair parts down to 1% but it is hella expensive and not worth imo

otherwise, you can use one charge of the apropriate repair kit and just replace the part via "maintain part"

[waxen bay]

damn

most of them are below 30

[versed tusk]

!apart

[raw raft]

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

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

[waxen bay]

cant find any thats above 50

[warm remnant]

Yeah 35k usually for the part repair kit

The longer you play the more common better parts become

You're gonna rely on your first weapon a pretty long time

[waxen bay]

ok

btw are there any better backpacks that vendors sell or do they just sell normal backpacks and hunters kit

[versed tusk]

you can craft them

get a basic backpack, a basic toolkit

then upgrade it via crafting menu

[minor bone]

is it better to use Nvidia Control Panel to use anti aliasing?

[waxen bay]

ok

[versed tusk]

i do use nvidia control panel - i think it looks a bit better

and gave me a few more frames

[minor bone]

yea I havent used it yet but I feel that it might be better. Thx, I am gonna try that now.

[compact coral]

is it normal for the game to take so long to load?

[versed tusk]

is it on a HDD?

[minor bone]

do you have any other NvidiaCP suggestions?

[compact coral]

ye

[versed tusk]

HDDs can be slow, yes

[versed tusk]

i am not at my PC - hold on i think i posted my settings somewhere a while back

[minor bone]

oh ok, well no worries if you are unable to. I have looked online for some settings but havent had much luck

[versed tusk]

#🇩🇪-general-de message

found it

i dont use vsync, power setting is set to max performance

i also limit frames to 60

[minor bone]

what gpu do you run? Just curious, why the cap at 60?

any particular reason? Im asking this because my GTX 1060 is like 5 years old at this point and I want to do anything to extend its lifetime as much as possible because I aint got that money to replace it lol

[versed tusk]

a EVGA 1080; my screen only has 60Hz; i stream at 60 so it would get lost anyway; older games like to hang when you have a million frames

[minor bone]

aha ok ok. Gotcha. You stream?

I gave you a follow. Never seen you pop up on twitch before

[versed tusk]

occasionally - i have a fam + a full time job so i cant do it consistently
