What there is a way?

[vast fern]

Game crashes while loading for a new game, what should I do?

[tired copper]

Now if only my keyboard had a numpad

[willow hawk]

!crash into #old-bugs

[graceful iron]

did you update anomaly to 1.5.2 ?

[vast fern]

yes

[graceful iron]

and ran a full gamma install through the installer after updating anomaly ?

[vast fern]

Yes

I don't know why, but this is the second time happening, I already installed gamma before and never had problems

[graceful iron]

how many addons active ? any red x's in the modlist ?

[vast fern]

there was red x, I reinstalled those

there were like 6 or 7

[graceful iron]

check if you are blocked by moddb

they could have failed to download

[vast fern]

fugg

I guess I have to wait

[graceful iron]

blocked ?

[vast fern]

yeah

[graceful iron]

wait for it or use a vpn and run the installer as admin > update data > full installation

[vast fern]

thx cat

[north turret]

What about other links?

[graceful iron]

what other links ?

[north turret]

Moddb download mirror i mean

[graceful iron]

if you are blocked from moddb, its your ip

not the mirror

thats why you can either wait or use a vpn

[north turret]

Sorry. I didn't know that.

Where can i buy grenades

is it from traders with enough godwill or do i have to make them myself

[graceful iron]

every general trader sells them

you need enough goodwill

[north turret]

Ahh ok so i need to do more quests

and what about outfit materials,like how do i fix fabrics

[graceful iron]

use basic sewing thread

[north turret]

that i find(i.e milspec,kevlar plates)

[graceful iron]

field armour kit and sewing thread can repair armor parts but only 50% and above

[north turret]

hmm

[graceful iron]

you will need to collect armor parts from enemy bodies

[north turret]

i think that i can change the condition when i loot the items to be minimum 50%

[north turret]

i know,and dissasemble their suits

[graceful iron]

you can also buy some armor parts from traders for some money

technicians *

[north turret]

same with weapon parts

do they stay the same or they increase the inventory with godwill

[willow hawk]

Buying parts is useless imo

[graceful iron]

technicians and medics dont change with goodwill, but you can give them toolkits to increase their supply

[willow hawk]

they are very expensive

[graceful iron]

sometimes its that one part you are missing, but generally it is useless

[echo elk]

Well if you have money to burn

[north turret]

and i can find those in stashes that i get when completing missions

[echo elk]

Like I have 300k and no expert tools so I buy parts sometimes for advanced repair kit guns

[graceful iron]

yes

[north turret]

ok now i have some ammo questions

is the 20 gauge ammo useless

like the red shotgun shells for the super beginner toz

[graceful iron]

its a good ammo early game, but later it wont do much

mutants and low tier bandits

12gauge will always outperform it

[shut tinsel]

It's a good ammo at like first 10 minutes of the game. Then it's usless

[north turret]

i used a bolt action toz and it seemed like shit,until i figured out the barrel was damaged

[north turret]

or the usual slug/dart rounds

and i can only replace the barrel with a basic toolkit/workshop?

or repair it with a file

[graceful iron]

you need the historic repair kit. you can either right click on it and replace the part using a charge from the repair kit or use a toolkit with the repair kit and replace the part with another one

the second method doesnt cost a charge from your repair kit

[north turret]

mhm understandable

btw one more question

everything up north is blocked by psy fields?

[graceful iron]

yes, you need the psy helmet from sakharov

only way to talk to him about it is with story mode active, but you dont need the story missions

[north turret]

and the military has its own unique story mode

operation monolith retribution?

[graceful iron]

yes

[north turret]

thanks for the info

[shut tinsel]

Is it worth it to increase reputation with scientists? Will they have something good in stock for a trade?

[worn moat]

How do I make master and legend level stalker spawn more frequently?

[graceful iron]

they spawn more frequently further north by default

[lime ibex]

Do y'all use companions when doing BS or other labs?

[graceful iron]

you shouldnt take companions underground

they will most likely get stuck somewhere

[compact birch]

yeah they are serious amounts of jank indoors

[shut tinsel]

So, I'm standing in Sakharov's bunker looking into what work he needs done and he asks for a controller's hand. I check my inventory and I don't have one. Immediately I hear controller's laugh, I rush outside, kill the controller in the swamp and he drop's a hand. WTF?!

[compact coral]

congratulations, youve been successfully controller'd

[north turret]

How can i defend when i get near a controller? He forces me to suicide.

[shut tinsel]

A controller controlled Sakharov to motivate me more to kill him? Suicide of controller, by stalker?

[graceful iron]

dont go near him and get more psy resistance

[north turret]

I have Spartan Helm and Duty Nosorog. I should take Psy Block.

But it's strange you die even you empty your gun.

[graceful iron]

its supposed to kill you even if you dont have a gun

its intended

[winter raptor]

speak of the devil

or should i say speak of the mutant

[brave bone]

hey guys how do u change the switch distance to 2000? i read it fixes stutters or something

[timber pawn]

if i wanted to cancel the install of hd models since i wanna continue with my pre hd models save
is it enough to undo the instructions?
also how do i undo the changes on the gboobs patch?

[whole marsh]

Ehi, i've found "my" first car in Darkscape: i can enter and move the wheel, but i can't found a way to start the engine. Please, help

[north turret]

Press the button for Detector. Default "O".

[whole marsh]

thanks.

[north turret]

How can i make the NPCs to not shoot me when they are behind a bush?

[radiant stirrup]

theres a mod for that

[winter raptor]

i fast travelled to AW with my companions at truck cemetery in wait mode, will they come over to me slowly with ''follow me''?

[north turret]

Name?

[radiant stirrup]

AIDontShootThroughBushes

[graceful iron]

its in mo2 under the gamma fixes separator

[winter raptor]

i need them to get back, they have all my loot

[graceful iron]

you have to go back to the map you left them in

[radiant stirrup]

isn't there a 'teleport to me' button?

[graceful iron]

only works when they are on the same map and within a certain distance

[north turret]

This one? "NPCs can't see through foliage"?

[winter raptor]

oh my god i have to re-do my truck cemetery run because of this

its only me getting a green stash

fucking fine ig

[radiant stirrup]

can't you just walk back and pick them up?

[north turret]

He fast travelled.

[radiant stirrup]

sure but you should just walk there right? unless im missing something

I found a looted seva suit at 24%. its better in all stats then then my current CS-1 suit but not massively better. worth repairing?

[winter raptor]

the whole point of my problem was that i have accessible zone toggled off and i didnt ''know'' the truck cemetery to army warehouse routes, and i fast travelled to get more profit than buying the route from bandit traders beforehand

pretty funny lmao

[radiant stirrup]

ahh yeah that does suck

[sly moss]

Activating the "Turn this on if you stutter" mod made my game stutter more...

Also, is there a way to get some kind of pop-up asking if I want to traverse to the next area when I'm at a transition point instead of it happening automatically? I keep accidentally stumbling into them and having to go right back lol

[north turret]

In MO go to "Optional" and look for 206-Areas transition without confirm. Enabled by default.

[compact coral]

nope

you will have to move to their same area for them to follow you again

[outer lily]

Hey I've come back to gamma from a few months back, since then I've updated to Anomaly 1.5.2 and have updated Gamma accordingly. Now my question: Reloaded my old save, everything seems to work fine, except my old stash has a max carry weight of 70kg. I can't store things inside it, is this normal?

Back then I've managed to store several hundred kg inside of it, now the 70kg max won't allow me to

I can retrieve Items normally though

[tidal raft]

It was changed to make players utilise the Hideout Furniture chest features.

[outer lily]

Ah I see, thank you @tidal raft I will see to the mod

[brisk zinc]

!weight

[raw raft]

Stashes now have limited carry weight. To store many items, you need to craft boxes where you'll have more space to store your loot. This change was made so that base building mechanics has an in-game purpose.
It forces the player to think about what he/she chooses instead of piling up tons of useless weapons that worsen loading times, inventory opening times, it also makes the game "lighter," all stuff related to make the game more "quicker".
If you don't like this change or maybe you're in the middle of a run and can't afford/don't want to use straight away the hideout feature, you can enable this mod under G.A.M.M.A. Fixes called "Unlimited Stashes Weight".

[brave bone]

Which mod makes it so that u get blurry vision when taking drugs?

[willow hawk]

it changes Alife parameters, it's not a "one fits all" that's the issue. Try different settings in alife.ltx

[hollow brook]

hi! I'm on my very first playthrough and I'm finding the repair system a bit too complicated. is there any way to make technicians repair everything in a gun and not just clean it? same goes for armor repairs

[radiant stirrup]

amour is essentially like vanilla, only techs can't repair it. for guns you'll have to ask someone else I don't know sorry

[graceful iron]

armor is nothing like vanilla

!apart

Hi guys, i innstalled gamma, and i can barely hear anything behind me , and it is not due to my headphones setup as i dont have surround sound on

Hey anyone know the best food calories to weight wise?

[thick warren]

if I use disguise, what about my companions?

[warm sand]

Pretty sure they're disguised too but. Save before you do anything risky

[winter raptor]

where do i enable it

[harsh marten]

Which traders pay more for which stuff? For example do ecologist weapon dealer buy artifacts for the normal base price ex. 1 artifact base price is 2,000 but it sells for 952 at normal traders.

[warm sand]

Mod organizer, i think it's in "working with bugs"

[thick warren]

Ye, I'm running as Mono and finally repaired ecologist suit, so disguise is perfect now 😄

[harsh marten]

I would tell them to wait outside the base, they might agro the members

[winter raptor]

does it disqualify invictus

[warm sand]

It shouldn't, i don't imagine any mod would disqualify but hey what do i know

[winter kite]

How big is GAMMA? Like how much storage do i need?

[mortal mist]

how do i heal my limbs ?

[willow hawk]

[winter island]

How to use rf receiver ? I never used one in anomaly. I want to find that anonymous package south of garbage in 43mhz frew

Freq*

[versed tusk]

equip it, use mous buttons + shift to change frequency

get near the area, more beeps = closer

3 fast beeps = 5 meters

hold F to see the package highlight

[frosty mist]

I keep dying instantly in x19 after disabling the scorcher, i pop a psy blocker but it does nothing

my psy bar goes from full to death in a second

[willow hawk]

remove artefacts decreasing your psy res

this will be fixed

[frosty mist]

i have none

got 3 kevlar plates

im basically stuck here

[willow hawk]

brain scorcher ?

there's no psy wave there after it being disabled

[sly moss]

Do companions use ammo or consumables you put in their inventories?

[placid zinc]

So I'm doing Explorers: Visit The X19 and I'm at the first part where I need to find the documents about the artificial beds in the "entrance" of said X19. My question is if it's about the underground entrance or the surface one because I'm confused about how its said.

[frosty mist]

i disabled the brain scorcher, went backwards where i came from, killed around 10 monos and then when i enter the little room with some machinery this is where i keep getting insta killed, i sometimes made it to the stairs but i always die no matter what

the closest i got was the 3 staircases leading to the wide areas

[oak nova]

Guys, how do i turn on debug mode?

[frosty mist]

Tick debug in launcher, f7 ingame

[oak nova]

yeah but , where can i tick debug if i lunch direclty to DX11

from MO2

or maybe i just can change to boot the anomaly launcher instead of directly into DX11

[crude oyster]

open the anomaly launcher and tick it

then you can open the instance in mo2 and it will be active

[oak nova]

ohh aight

doesnt work

[graceful iron]

check if there is an anomaly there

instant psy damage must be the darkness anomaly

What channel do I go to, I got a question about the map and icons

Why aren’t any of these tasks/icons on the map? I don’t know where to go haha

[frosty mist]

i disabled the new anomalies

[graceful iron]

how did you disable them exactly ? and did you do before the playthrough or during it?

also, was that first ping from you?

[graceful iron]

you need to find the item first, it will unlock the locations of the anomalies

[frosty mist]

at the start of the playthrough

there's an option in mcm that literally says "disable new anomalies" and since i didnt see that eye sore for a long time i assume its off

i'll just god mode thru it, i've had enough of restarting non stop

i die in godmode GAAHAHHAAHHA

[dense ledge]

Is there a way i can edit the file manually in my stalker gamma to increase my carry weight ?

[restive night]

how do I fix the nightvision goggles not working? I forgot the command for it

[versed tusk]

#🤖bot-commands has all the commands pinned

!shader

[raw raft]

To clean your "Shader Cache", don't use the option in the Anomaly launcher.
Go in this folder: Anomaly\appdata, you'll find a folder called shaders_cache, delete this folder and launch the game normally from MO2, using your preferred DX.

WHAT armour should i buy (invictus)(duty,main)

[versed tusk]

#╟🔫loadouts and ... buy?

[mortal mist]

so i type in buy? or what? i ask there?

[versed tusk]

loadouts would be the channel to discuss gear. and you wont be buying any armor in Gamma unless you changed the progression systems

[mortal mist]

i disabled economy for invictus

wait so i still get invictus?

right

[versed tusk]

you do you

[frosty mist]

dude my playthrough is fked bcs of this problem

i cant even godmode to exit the fkin lab

[placid zinc]

cant you fast travel out of there?

[frosty mist]

i just want to figure out what's causing it to happen cause as it is right now, i dont even feel like making a new character if this happens again

[willow hawk]

End of the month hopefully. End of the year for sure

[ripe whale]

got a problem, i wanna go to red forest and beyond, and i know that you have to raid radar brainscorcher and turn it off, and i did that, the problem is that i still need to do something else because i still have the issue (im playing without story and i don't have the psy protection of yantar because i don't have the option to buy it)

this are my options when talking to him

[tidal raft]

Use debug.

[graceful iron]

you didnt start with story mode active

you can only get the psy helmet using debug mode

[ripe whale]

well shit..., thanks for the answer

[lyric steeple]

If i want to add that sweet sweet vector mod. i just add the mod to gamma rc3 > downloads? and then update?

whats the max level of supply i can get a regular merchant to? the ones that sell ammo

no, you add it thru mo2, there's an install icon on the left most side of the program, u just click the file when prompted to

follow up question to the merchant one, does for instance a duty merchant sell different things than a freedom one? or is it all the same inventory

ammo and mags (if u use them) are different

i see, thank you

[frosty mist]

duty sells russian ammo, freedom sells nato ammo

[fickle cliff]

Hi
I was messing about with debug mode and now I can see all squads/NPC in my PDA, on map. Does anyone have any idea how to turn it off as it ruins game. It's on every each character I play.
Thanks in advance.

?

[versed tusk]

debug settings stay on your profile, not the character

and i would not know, never used that option

[shadow sapphire]

Turn off debug map

[fickle cliff]

Thank you

[solid spire]

I have pretty good specs, followed all steps in #old-framerate-optimisation but still struggling to maintain like ~45 fps in most areas, anything else I can do?

Actually not all steps, I'm not playing on dx8 and I don't have classic textures on. but I'm saving those as a last resort

[versed tusk]

Stalker/XRay is CPU bound

it runs on a single core

even 3080 are not achieving that much

[shadow sapphire]

try this stuff if you havent:

!stutter

[raw raft]

1. Update G.A.M.M.A. to the latest version (open the installer with admin rights, click on Update G.A.M.M.A. data and then Full G.A.M.M.A. installation)
2. Bring your modlist back to default (type !default in #🤖bot-commands)
3. Turn on the "Turn this on if you stutter" mod in your MO2 (you can found the mod under the G.A.M.M.A. Fixes separator)
4. If you have a NVIDIA GPU, you can enable Triple Buffering in NVIDIA control panel
5. Open Anomaly Launcher via MO2 and tick Prefetch sounds

Still a WIP because I need to add something else

[versed tusk]

biggest performance eaters are def AA, SMAA, Grass

also Hai @shadow sapphire

[shadow sapphire]

In addition, you can also try not using AVX mode, as what that does is move some graphical effects to CPU, but if you have a really high end GPU, honestly it might hurt more than help.

[solid spire]

Alright, I'll try all that, thanks! Will send an update once I'm done

[shadow sapphire]

Good morning (I slept very late. Apparently 2 of my medications go stuck in pill container, so I was very tired yesterday)

oof - hope you feel well tho

[jagged sigil]

is gamma supposed to have so many conflicts in MO2?

[shadow sapphire]

Yes. The conflicts are manually addressed via priority/manual patches and the like

I actually read through it, might be an issue on my end, I had mods previously and did not do a good job at properly uninstalling them

[versed tusk]

yeah, your Anomaly needs to be clean

and on 152

[solid spire]

Got a solid additional 40fps in some occasions, +20 fps in most. Awesome :D

[agile stirrup]

The NPCs are really slow to start attacking. In regular Anomaly they react quickly. Both enemy factions and companions. Is there anyway to give them better reaction time?

[nimble garden]

I'm new to stalker anomaly and gamma... There is any way to increase stash weight limit? All my stashes are only 70kg

[versed tusk]

craft your own stashes

get basic toolkits -> right click > crafting > hideout furniture

[solid spire]

That can be enabled in the mod organizer, under GAMMA Fixes

Named "Unlimited Stashes Weight"

I believe?

[nimble garden]

Thanks @versed tusk and @solid spire

[versed tusk]

you should not tho - huge stashes will lag your game. better to make multiple boxes and spread even

[solid spire]

Yea for balance sake you should make your own, but the mod is there for a reason

[nimble garden]

Ok

Thanks I didn't knew I could craft more

[versed tusk]

i suggest crafting the workbenches

everything inside is automatically used for crafting/repair

is there any mods that you guys install along side gammas preinstalled ones to make the experience better or not?

No.

[plush nova]

I have a question regarding the latest update announcement - GAMMA's KRISS Vector early release - specifically whether I've installed it correctly. I moved the downloaded zip file to my 'G.A.M.M.A. - RC3/downloads' folder and then using 'MO2>Open list options', I install the MOD. I ask because the mod even when installed and enabled stays located within the separate 'G.A.M.M.A. Disabled' section, also the way the mod shows up within the MO2 is not like the other G.A.M.M.A. file names as it's named exactly as the zip folder to include the underscore 'GAMMA_Kriss_Vector'.

[solid spire]

Just curious but why bandits not shooting at me as a loner? I hit a guy from 6 feet behind him and he didn't even react. Is the stealth kills option acting up or is it something else?

[shadow sapphire]

!version

[raw raft]

Go to your \GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer Folder and open version.txt

ehi, but how the junks works? I've put a junk that give me a bullet resistance perk, i put in my belt, i killed a snork, i go to sleep and tomorrow the junk in my belt was gone. I'm missing something?

p.s. gamma rocks and crash way less than vanilla Anomaly, lol

[shadow sapphire]

Junk artifacts decay based on time and use

[whole marsh]

ok, but if i don't put in belt, they decay? Or it happens only when belted?

Only when belted

I find and repaired a 5.56 weapons, but i can't find ammo of this calibre, except on rare loot. The trader of Army Warehouse don't sell them and Butcher only sell 5.45 hp. Where i can buy that? I need to give toolkits to the Army W. mechanic, to spawn them?

[restive night]

best helmet and body armour to wear? keep getting this phys emission popping up on my screen

[north turret]

5.56 is sold in small amounts at trader supply level 2, and more at level 3
do tasks for Clear Sky, Freedom, Mercenaries (if you can) and you will eventually see ammo at traders

[shadow sapphire]

There is not best in slot to be honest. Are you talking about dangerous psy emissions?

[restive night]

yeah that is the one, its constantly on my screen at the bottom

[shadow sapphire]

Where are you in game?

[north turret]

"dangerous psy-emissions, protection required" or however it is exactly, requires the psy-helmet from Yantar scientists

unlike regular psy-fields which care about your actual psy-resistance

[restive night]

can you debug that helmet?

[whole marsh]

ok, thanks

[shadow sapphire]

You can yes, should be called psy_helmet_calibrated

[versed tusk]

[solid spire]

sorry i'm late, been playing, turned off stealth kill feature and it works fine

[shadow sapphire]

Ok

[restive night]

Don’t seem to be on my menu

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah that should be fine, as long as you installed via mo2 as you stated. It will be down at the bottom which is fine, and yes file name might be a bit weird as this is an early release hey have some fun with it prior to 1.0

[shadow sapphire]

Check Items (quest) and Items (misc) Its not an actual helmeyt

[plush nova]

Thank you!

[restive night]

ahhh found it, I guess it just sits in your inventory?

[shadow sapphire]

Indeed

[north turret]

yup, it is just a funny little weightless helper

[shadow sapphire]

Its just a progression gate, the idea being to slow you down and keep you in low level areas until you are actually geared for the north.

[fallen galleon]

Is trader level affected by the reputation with his faction or just with doing his specific missions?

[subtle moon]

with the faction

trader level of the medics and mechanics is raised by giving them better toolkits tho and not thereputation

[winter raptor]

are mercs hostile to renegades?

[subtle moon]

hmm i cant remember, but there is a section in the PDA ingame that shows you the factions relations toeach other

[graceful iron]

yes

[shadow sapphire]

[winter raptor]

alright so i can sneak attack these dumb mfers in swamp

and for backpacks? All vendors sells only the basic type. And for the cooking thing (i've used my, and so it's diseapperead, i don't remember the right name) where to buy a new one?

[brisk zinc]

Speaking of cooking stuff

You can buy them both everywhere IIRC

Butcher has the second one, he is the only one who sells the second tier cheaply

You probably can craft them as well but don't take my word for it

@whole marsh about backpacks, you'll need to craft them

[whole marsh]

for crafting bakcback, you need advanced or expert tools, depends of the type, so i must wait

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[whole marsh]

ok, thanks

is there any way to speed up time when waiting for something?

You can take sleeping pills and sleep, but thats really it.

Typically I just work on stashes or quests whilst waiting

[subtle moon]

ok, ill be patient then

[full valve]

oh thats nice will 100% read the in game one thanks for the tip

[sonic crow]

Hey what does the Lucifer artifact do? I'm currently looking at the knot

[shadow sapphire]

Save and find out 😉

[sonic crow]

I got a bad feeling about this

[subtle moon]

are repair kits the only way to maintain parts? like cleaning the barrel etc

[shadow sapphire]

Repair kits or tool kits. But you can also just keep the gun itself clean.

[restive night]

where are throwable bolts in debug?

[shadow sapphire]

If you keep the gun clean ie above 96% parts dont take much damage at all

[shadow sapphire]

I think items misc of the top of my head

[subtle moon]

i see, thank you

[restive night]

ah you cant spawn throwable bolts by the looks of it

[shadow sapphire]

Huh interesting

[north turret]

how about the pack of bolts?

[shadow sapphire]

Or the ammo casing

Pack of bolts is under tools

[solid spire]

I have a mission to deliver a package to someone in Yantar, and the marker is inside Sakharov's bunker, I've talked to everyone inside but none of them want the package. Where is the guy?

[uneven prism]

how do i loot an artifact off of someone without it breaking

[pulsar yoke]

On top of the bunker or so maybe ?

[shadow sapphire]

What is the ingame time?

[oak nova]

does anyone know how this works?

[solid spire]

21:34, does he only show up in a specific timeframe?

[shadow sapphire]

Its a weird visual thing with gamma, its always going to "degrade" when you pick it up, as NPCs done actually save item condition

[solid spire]

Already checked and it's empty up there

[uneven prism]

so it isnt 100%

[shadow sapphire]

He could be asleep, there is a specific sleeping spot for the actual bunker staff. I would try again during daytime

[shadow sapphire]

Correct

[uneven prism]

ok

[shadow sapphire]

The durability when its in your inventory is the "real" durability

[solid spire]

8:45 and still no guy

Will do some artifact hunter missions and then come back

[shadow sapphire]

Hmm can you screenshot the pda map and task info please? And if you remember, the name of who to give it to?

[solid spire]

Don't remember his name, took this quest 2 days ago lol

Do you want me to crop the pda map to show only bunker, where the marker is?

Well, here's what I can see with no areas or important objects on; the marker is clearly in the bunker but he's not there

Oh and my game just crashed lol

Here is the Task description btw

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah it looks like it should be one of the two dudes in the bed room....

[solid spire]

Do you think he'll come out at noon?

[shadow sapphire]

Honestly he should be out. It almost looks like it may be bugged.

I would try entering and leaving the map maybe.

[solid spire]

Hm alright will try that in a little, gonna do quests first

[subtle moon]

anyone know what the angry floating black hole that screams at you is called? im guessing its one of the new anomalies

[shadow sapphire]

could be a psuedo geist that you are describing?

[subtle moon]

possibly, its like the poltergeist, but black

[solid spire]

Does it give you a name if you get close to it?

If it doesn't then it's not an anomaly

[subtle moon]

maybe, i just run away lol

[tidal raft]

No. Only in your PDA after killing it.

[solid spire]

Ok, it's essentially a more dangerous poltergeist

[subtle moon]

but it can still be killed with bullets?

[tidal raft]

Yes. You can even melee it like any other geist.

[subtle moon]

nice, thanks

[winged ether]

what's the difference between a powered and unpowered exoskeleton?

[shadow sapphire]

No sprint, low movement speed

[north turret]

Does the chat mod work with Gamma? If so do i follow the same instructions as with the regular install of the mod?

[winged ether]

hm I have the sprint upgrade and it seems like I can still sprint. I'll post in bugs chat

[south jungle]

Could it be that it got assigned to one of the two dudes who basically have no dialog lines to interact with?

[terse sun]

huh, dafuq is happening, just helped gatekeeper clear the monolith at the barrier, got a fricking monolith nosorog and now the whole freedom squad at the barrier is attacking me for no frickin reason - playing as ecologist

[shadow sapphire]

It theoretically shouldnt.

[shadow sapphire]

It sounds like you accidentally hit one of the freedom, or you put the suit on

[south jungle]

put the suit on without tearing off the patch

[terse sun]

and for some reason the game keeps crashing regularly at the gatekeepers campfire

no idea why

[terse sun]

I guess yeah, the only explanation, haven't put the nosorog on and also I am wearing loners voyager atm

with a torn patch

[west horizon]

Hello good, does anyone know where the PDAs are supposedly located? I have not found any body or something similar pls help.

[solid spire]

@shadow sapphire About earlier, the guy was bugged yeah, loaded the area again and he was there

If I had to guess his body is in one of the anomaly fields in Garbage, the description of the quest seems to suggest so

[terse sun]

yep, memory reference error when near gatekeeper campfire in AH

just crashed for the 6th time in 10 min

gonna try an older save to see if it does anything

[shadow sapphire]

Send the log to me

[terse sun]

there it is 🙂

fingers crossed

what's up with this THM chunk fixing 🧐

and it's fixing the same two chunks, #2073 and #2072

[shadow sapphire]

The THM chunk is just a normal anomaly thing. Send the .bkp as that log is just the most recent startup

[terse sun]

yeah I figured as much

[terse sun]

hmm interesting, why is it referencing it and re-fixing it though, sounds like a loop or something

[shadow sapphire]

Nah, just a weird Xray thing, does that on everyones log.

[uneven prism]

Is the Ruger SR-556 the best 556?

[shadow sapphire]

Look like one of the Mono that shot you is messed up with alife/xray

[terse sun]

holy shit

[shadow sapphire]

There is no best 556. Guns do almost the same damage in caliber, the major diffference is ammo capacity, attachments, recoil, and fire rate.

[terse sun]

guess an earlier save is in order I assume

[terse sun]

(and accuracy) 🙂

[uneven prism]

See bc my HK is better amo capacity but the SR just looks cool asf because its an ecologist gun

The description of the SR-556 says there are only like 5 in the zone, do you know if thats true?

[shadow sapphire]

Not true, but it is rarer

[uneven prism]

Do you think it would be worth it to ditch the HK for the SR?

[terse sun]

yes

ruger is very good

very low recoil too

and you have the laser

[uneven prism]

laser?

[terse sun]

• auxiliary red dot

yes, the laser pointer

[uneven prism]

how do you turn on the laser

[brisk zinc]

Long press L

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[terse sun]

long press your light key

[terse sun]

would loading an earlier save from the same map help or are the quest squads predetermined on entry?

[shadow sapphire]

Nah they are just grabbing from whatever is in the pool, you could try a reload

[terse sun]

hmm I tried many reloads from that save game and always crashed, but granted the save has been made after the monolith squad already spawned

I'll try an earlier one

[uneven prism]

does it come stock with a laser?

[terse sun]

yes adler

[uneven prism]

Its not working then

[terse sun]

and stock with auxiliary red dot too

you got me a bit bamboozled now, but last I remember when I had a ruger, I think it had a laser

[terse sun]

maybe just maybe I'm wrong and it doesn't have a laser

but a combined red dot with another scope is very very useful

[uneven prism]

yeah

im just gonna disassemble my HK to repair it

[solid spire]

I transitioned areas and now my ground is super dark, it's 11:34, is it just the weather doing that or is this a bug?

[shadow sapphire]

Do you have debug on?

[solid spire]

No debug

[shadow sapphire]

Ah. Save and reload, probably will fix. Its most likely weather.

[terse sun]

ok so this time

I reloaded to an earlier save, retook the quest, intentionally stayed completely away from the fight until it's over (didn't shoot a single bullet) and those freedom idiots immediately shoot at me

[shadow sapphire]

What faction are you?

[terse sun]

ecologist

freedom goodwill 500

dressed in a loner suit with a torn patch

[shadow sapphire]

Weird. My honest guess is something weird happened a while ago and they are angry. F7 make friend, or pay off freedom via sid or barkeep

[terse sun]

hmm

could it be that they are pissed because I'm cris-crossing the missions from both duty and freedom? there is a captured duty guy inbetween there

[shadow sapphire]

In gamma killing an npc doesnt upset the whole faction, but basically his friend.

Oh if you are on a mission for duty that could be the issue

[terse sun]

but they never shot at me before

so you're saying I could just wipe them and be done with it?

[shadow sapphire]

You could yeah. Youll upset other individuals, and lose a bit of faction rep, but not much and honestly worse case if you just have to pay more money to make nice later

[terse sun]

hmm I might consider that indeed

although how about this

they aren't hostile to me prior to this mission

so something inside this mission appears to piss them off

[shadow sapphire]

Could be some weird xray/alife fuckery. Wouldnt shock me

[terse sun]

as long as it doesn't corrupt my saves (again) I'm fine 😄

oh wait a second, those angry freedoms are actually spawned along with the monoliths

they aren't here right now (before I activate the quest)

interesting

[shadow sapphire]

Very interesting

[terse sun]

I think I found the solution

the kidnapped duty dude in the center of the barrier seems to be the culprit, now I saved him first, activated gatekeeper mission second, and now apparently the freedomers there are friendly

(engineer stuff)

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah was just gonna say it sounds like you are triggering both quests at once lol

[terse sun]

actually that's good to know, always clear the side quests near the storyline quests first

but damn I dropped a monolith nosorog

not gonna see it again probably

also, something terrible happened to this guy lol

[deft glen]

Has anyone made a spreadsheet for merchants yet?

[shadow sapphire]

LOL

@deft glen No but what do you mean specifically

Because there is very little variation in most merchants

[versed tusk]

only ammo and kits differ iirc

as in NATO and WP, no?

[shadow sapphire]

And only between WP/NATO. All WP basically sell the same thing

[versed tusk]

ye

inb4 "i turned off gamma eco"

[shadow sapphire]

The big differences are cordon traders expensive, butcher cheap but only buys certain things, flea (both of them) are special, and some are other named ones

[toxic rover]

I'm not sure where to ask but can you provide me with brief answer. Is this anomaly supposed to be static and not animated?

[compact coral]

nah hes just a tad sleepy

let him rest

[versed tusk]

give it a hug!
they phase in/out but dont rly move

[shadow sapphire]

They are sometimes yes.

[toxic rover]

So it's supposed to be animated? I installed the classic texture and no grass mod before after a fresh install so I'm not sure if it's due to my own end or something else

[shadow sapphire]

As in like the waves moving on it? I honestly dont recall, I feel like its static though

[versed tusk]

its static, just pops in/out

[toxic rover]

I was thinking that it would kind of move like whirligig or vortex anomaly did, but if that's the way it is then alright.

Thank you for the answer

[woeful whale]

Does anyone know how to change what item the item editor in the debug menu actually edits?

[sonic crow]

Does spirit still give you really good armor if you give him a shit ton of vodka?

[versed tusk]

ammo & basic tools

[sonic crow]

Feck

Well at least I can get enough basic tools to make advanced tools

[winged ether]

one of my companions got an LMG out of nowhere that isnt in his inventory. Do they get new default weapons when they rank up?

[sonic crow]

Never mind that bitch took six out of seven of my bottles

[sonic crow]

Hey does deactivating the miracle machine still give you that really good NVG?

[buoyant stump]

where are the flea markets? how do they work

[sonic crow]

The flea market is in the garbage right next to the duty checkpoint that leads to rostok
It has two traders and abunch of random NPC's that you may or may not trade with

[buoyant stump]

alright cool

what faction are the traders?

[grizzled raven]

probably looted it somewhere

[uneven prism]

does aggressors reshade make it look better or is it just broken?

[grizzled raven]

none

[uneven prism]

it’s unchecked by default now

[versed tusk]

the one coming in MO2 is just ground textures and not the reshade

[uneven prism]

ah

is there anything in the mod pack for 4k textured

[versed tusk]

no need for it either as the Gamma reshade is very nicely balanced and good for performance

[buoyant stump]

nice

[woeful whale]

Dumb question, what does the M key do? I can't find it listed as bound anywhere, but it does a sound when I press it

[versed tusk]

its for NVG scopes

it'll get fixed at some point but surely not a high prio rn

[woeful whale]

llike to change from NV to IR?

[buoyant stump]

normal view and IR?

if so yes

[subtle moon]

if i instead of giving the mechanics weapon kits use them myself on my personal crafting bench, can i then do EVERYTHING a mechanic can do? i noticed he didnt start selling medium armor kits when i gave him the advanced one, but if i reload and keep it i could craft it myself

[versed tusk]

never use mechanics, only give them spares
The whole point of gamma crafting is to do it all yourself, so yes you can

also their inventory needs a day to restock

[subtle moon]

ah okay, man i wish i could get back that basic one then hehe

[compact coral]

its intended that the toz 106 loses 1% condition every 2 shots?

im having this problem with both versions of the weapon

[subtle moon]

is it possible to suss out what stats armor will have when fully repaired?

[versed tusk]

hold CTRL

[subtle moon]

ah thank you

[shadow sapphire]

Hmm shouldn't be that fast. But I know we found an issue with some weapons like that so should be fixed when that comes out

[compact coral]

roger

its just odd because i remember it not happening in my first playthrough but now it does

perhaps it might have something to do with changing presets in the gameplay .diff tab?

[shadow sapphire]

It could be, but even on hard/surv it shouldn't be that fast

[north turret]

My grass distance is set to 150 and some grasses dont render unless im really close. pic example is far away vs close up. Even setting distance to max doesn't help. Not sure what the issue is here.

The circled hill is bald at a distance, yet lush up close.

[compact coral]

i think thats a limit of the engine itself

happened the same to me in cop

[shadow sapphire]

Is that a question?

[twilit shard]

applying the deer hunter kit on my m700 just keeps crashing the game

anything i can do about it?

[shadow sapphire]

!m700

[raw raft]

Upgrading the M700 with the Deer Hunter Kit, in some saves, can crash the game. If this happens, simply drop the weapon and the kit, open the debug mode with F7 and spawn the already modified weapon in your inventory.
(if you don't know how to enable debug mode: #╭📖faq message)

[shadow sapphire]

Where did you even get the kit?

[twilit shard]

from the clear sky vendor

its there for like 70k rub

[shadow sapphire]

Oh you havent updated in a bit then

[twilit shard]

so does the update remove that from the shop? or does it allow the modification without doing that

[shadow sapphire]

removes from the shop. However there is a small chance of getting the upgraded rifle from high level NPCs

[twilit shard]

ah i see thanks for the answer

[tardy lantern]

Is the mod that changes artifact spawns the same one that adds the artifact combiner?

[shadow sapphire]

you are going to need to be more specific, what do you mean by spawns

[tardy lantern]

Like artifacts being able to be spawned by random anomalies.

[shadow sapphire]

I am not sure tbh, which of the several mods that control artefacts does that specifically. What are you trying to accomplish?

[tardy lantern]

I wanted to see if I could add the mod that allows anomalies to generate artifacts directly by itself into a otherwise vanilla install of the game.

[shadow sapphire]

Most likey yes, if you can find the proper one, and remove any changes that refer to perk artifacts.

[sand mason]

I have 331 mods. Is it supposed to be 329 ? "Checking current G.A.M.M.A. data version
G.A.M.M.A. data are up-to-date!"

[shadow sapphire]

Are you hitting only install gamma addons after that?

[tardy lantern]

Is there any sort of documentation somewhere that explains what the mods that come from the github do?

[shadow sapphire]

You can check the readmes in the mods themselves, and also just read the files and learn.

[wet arrow]

I can't reload my MP5 or my shotgun? I got the right ammo type but it won't reload when i press R. I checked all key binds.

[shadow sapphire]

Are you using mags?

[wet arrow]

No

[shadow sapphire]

Did you hit default at anytime on the in game keybinds screen?

[wet arrow]

I didn't hit default, but sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.

[shadow sapphire]

Is your gun jamming

Because Reload also unjams

[wet arrow]

No I don't see prompts plus my gun condition is 100%

[shadow sapphire]

And the parts are also 100?

[wet arrow]

my parts are around 90% but all green numbers

[shadow sapphire]

Okay. Exit game and send modlist and xray log please

!modlist

[raw raft]

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

[shadow sapphire]

!crash

[raw raft]

Send your crash log where it was asked, 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.

[shadow sapphire]

You have to exit game before sending the log, as all I see is you starting the game. However, I can tell you that you are running an out of date version of the pack.

[wet arrow]

What about now

my installer said i am up to update

[shadow sapphire]

Im not sure, but I believe that one is either on the rails or on the train

[shadow sapphire]

You have to hit only install gamma addons after hitting update gamma data

[wet arrow]

Okay what about now?

[shadow sapphire]

Nope. Are you running the installer as admin?

[wet arrow]

?

Ran as admin this time

[shadow sapphire]

Still no. Can you explain to me exactly what you are doing?

Because from my side it looks like you are just sending the same log over and over again.

[wet arrow]

So I followed your instructions and after each step I send the file.

[shadow sapphire]

And you are launching the game first before sending?

Because the log is only of the game

[wet arrow]

No

[shadow sapphire]

So if you arent launching the game, you are just sending me the same log

[wet arrow]

Any difference?

[shadow sapphire]

Yes

Are you still having the reload problem

If so please send me a picture of the tool tip when you mouse over the gun

[compact coral]

where am i supposed to find 12x20 ammo?

[shadow sapphire]

What ammo?

[compact coral]

12x70 sorry

the one that hip asks for the toz 194

[shadow sapphire]

Off any bandit with a 12ga or other stalker... or make it, or buy it

she just wants 12ga buckshot

[wet arrow]

I dont have the problem anymore but i was not aware i had a out dated version of the game.

I will let you know if the problem comes back

[shadow sapphire]

No worries, glad we fixed it. In the future it is best to keep an eye on #📢announcements to know about updates.

[sand mason]

Did a full install. Im at 329 thankss!!!

[compact coral]

i had 18 instead of 20 in the inventory and i thought it was some kind of rare ammo that i didnt have the access to craft

bruh

[harsh marten]

ahmm idk what the heck happened but i daddy saved in cordon village, it is populated with Stalkers and Clear Sky, i reload, Clear Sky turns in to Ecologist and start firing at Hip for no fucking reason, but before it starts i get a message that zombies are close to the barrier and help will be repaid? what is going on

[shadow sapphire]

What did you do...

How many active mods?

[harsh marten]

326 cuz i removed reshades and did pretty much all from #old-framerate-optimisation

[shadow sapphire]

!modlist

[raw raft]

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

[harsh marten]

they are at it again

hip doesn't respond either she's like had better days

[shadow sapphire]

You know what. Send me the xray log because bruh. How?

!crash

[raw raft]

Send your crash log where it was asked, 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.

[shadow sapphire]

Youll need to exit game

[harsh marten]

imma try to get the zombie message first alr

funniest shit i ever saw ngl i even waited to see what happends and after 25 min they just tbag her and revive her

[compact coral]

gpu?

[harsh marten]

Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650

[compact coral]

hmmm

how much frames youre getting rn?

[harsh marten]

around 120-144

[shadow sapphire]

What did you do to upset eco?

[harsh marten]

i set it to 144 because of my screen

ahhmm quests? never killed any of them XD

im not even sure if its a bug or anything its so random and funny

[compact coral]

then i guess it is a good investment to upgrade to a 3770

im barely scrapping 60 with an i5-3550 lol

[shadow sapphire]

00Why did you kill ecologist. I scroll up and you shot them

[harsh marten]

on that timeline

but not before the save

i did it after the save

[shadow sapphire]

Ah

What faction are you?

[harsh marten]

to see what happends

Stalker/Loner

318 goodwill with eco

[shadow sapphire]

Why did you attack the loner then?

Ok I see you fighting mutants and bandits, was that before the save?

[harsh marten]

i did kill some mutants before the save

i killed loners and eco after the save tho

maybe like 3 days ingame killed a stalker or two cant really remember but

imma reload with a safe before this hell XD

[shadow sapphire]

So in your log I dont see the reason, but my honest assumption is that you did something that brought an ECO bounty squad on you

[harsh marten]

but why hip?

i would understand if they attack me but they just hit hip

[harsh marten]

and whats with this message before it starts XD

oh sht its monolith now not zombies

wait which barrier o.o

[shadow sapphire]

I have no idea man. Did you adjust ZCP settings?

He should be talking about the barrier in AW.

[harsh marten]

the only settings I changed was graphics and keybinds

[shadow sapphire]

Sounds like you got xrayed hard

[harsh marten]

i mean i can just kill ECO and thats it

it doesnt even affect my goodwill

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah it does, but not much tbh, and you definetly can go that route

[harsh marten]

no i tested it wait let me redo XD

wait a min my bad they were here before so no clear sky

well it worked i just reload the second safe and it didn't happened

huh now i got the zombies again

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah thats just an announcement.

Glad save and reload fixed it

[harsh marten]

ah i found the real issue

2 are not ecologist and the other 3 are

how i don't know i just found it XD if i killed the 2 guys it doesn't reduce the goodwill but i kill the other 3 it does

the 2 dudes look like ecologist and have the tag too tho can NPC disguise?

[shadow sapphire]

To my knowledge no. It honestly sounds like xray just lost its mind on you

[harsh marten]

well imma save that for sure that's something

[hollow moon]

do i need the gunsmithing kit to craft ammo?

also where can i buy an abundant supply of 5.45x39 for my ak

?

nobody from cordon to rostok has anymore

[shadow sapphire]

Yes

[shadow sapphire]

They Do in both Cordon and Rostok, but you have to level up the tradert

[hollow moon]

so do quest for the trader too bump up the ammo supply or so theyll carry to gun smith kit

?

that sucks i only have a shotty i miss using my ak

[shadow sapphire]

They wont ever carry the kit. You have to find those in stashes, like every other tool kit. Doing quests means they will carry more ammo

[hollow moon]

ah ah ah ah ahhhhhhhhh ok got ya ]

thanks brev

[harsh marten]

is titanium grid worth it? 10k is something for a hobo like me

[hollow moon]

yeah to me it is

ive been using it i also found a body cooling system thing as well

randomly

[harsh marten]

how's the durability?

every town gotta repair or more like it after a week

[shadow sapphire]

What do you mean minimum stats?

[hollow moon]

not gunna lie........i didnt notice that lmao BUT i will say they last a decent amount of time

[shadow sapphire]

So I looked around in the code files, and cant find a minimum. Im wondering if its stating that basically if you dont have elec resist at all, its not enough to protect you. I am honestly not sure.

Oh you should, as the exo has negative elec resist

[winter kite]

can i install gamma with anomaly 1.5.1 and not 1.5.2?

[shadow sapphire]

No, it has to be 1.5.2

[winter kite]

ok

[regal lintel]

What do these "Packages" for RFreceiver quests look like?

[compact coral]

small yellow boxes

kinda like a toolbox but yellow

[south jungle]

items thrown on the floor

[fallen scaffold]

Hi, game crashes when loading new game, i hope this is the correct chanel to ask 😅

[grizzled raven]

!crash

[raw raft]

Send your crash log where it was asked, 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.

[willow hawk]

Be sure you updated anomaly to 1.5.2

[raven sparrow]

Do companions use FMJ ammo by default, regardless of rank?

[willow hawk]

Yes

But stalker on stalker combat doesn’t change based on ammo used

[dapper mulch]

I'm trying to find a hidden package in southern Agroprom with the RF reciever, I've been all over but it's never started beeping

[grizzled raven]

that means you havent been all over it

[regal lintel]

I just found my first RF receiver package.. stuff is hidden pretty well under a bush my goodness

but where do we take em? I don't remember it being mentioned in the follow-up messages once found

[dapper mulch]

I did find a stash labeled "treasure" but it did not count to towards the RF message

[graceful iron]

you just open it

[regal lintel]

Ok lemme try it once I get back.. I just got a crash with a shader error something..

oh ok I thought it just goes with a double click, so there's right click unpack.. Thanks for responding, my friends. 😄

[raven sparrow]

Get a lamp artifact and come back at night, the package will pulse with white light making it easy to find

[thick python]

I had one looking like a rather small black box with a zipper around one side.

[ebon gorge]

Is it me or enemies really blind now? I was walking trough the Red Forrest and all of a sudden I saw a Sin guy standing right in front of me. He did not shoot me, untill I shot him. This happened a couple of times already, also with mutants. I have to the latest update installed with a complete install.

I do have death animations enabeled. I will try it without them on now.

[raven sparrow]

Stealth is going through a revision, some balancing remains to be done, be sure to update your game

[ebon gorge]

Alright

Before ememies where very eagle eyed. But if they are Merc or Monolith armed with Snipers and Binos, it does make sense imo

[raven sparrow]

I think the idea is to reduce AI vision during fog/night but its difficult to balance? I havn't followed it too closely.

[tribal fiber]

I'm getting some incredibly nasty shimmering on trees and it's really hard not to look at

Any advice? I tried looking through the server history and didn't see much talk about it

Tried turning off AA and all that, but it doesn't do anything

Haven't touched any of the mods

[compact coral]

antialiasing?

[tribal fiber]

Turned it off, turned it on, turned it to medium, nothing.

[compact coral]

perhaps activate it thru the nvidia panel?

[tribal fiber]

Mayperhaps

It's a pain to deal with

[compact coral]

stalker uses a different way of rendering so the native aa doesnt really work

you need to activate it in the driver configuration or else it wont work

if you have power to spare id so supersampling instead

[placid zinc]

I'm looking for artificial artefacts in the radar woods in X19 explorers quest and I found 2 of them, the one on the heli and the gravitation anomaly one but I cant find the 3rd one anywhere and I crossed the forest 2 times already with the best detector, so if anyone know anything ill be obliged.

[royal oxide]

I haven't played in like 2 months. Have the starting points been increased? Feels like I can start with a lot more stuff than before.

[north turret]

Check where the my mouse is.

As you roam go on the right to the road

If you go from the barricade where are usually monolith go left

[tribal fiber]

weird
I'll try it then
Nvida's drivers are a bit difficult to navigate so here's hoping

[placid zinc]

@north turret based on your direction i guess its this area but there's nothing

[north turret]

If you came from the road go left before the barricade, you'll pass the fence and go left again.

[placid zinc]

ye there are the gravi anomalies but i got the one from there

i literally dont know where the last one is i checked everywhere

[north turret]

I remember it was on a rock i think a little bit lower from the anomaly where the chopper is.

[placid zinc]

hmm

[north turret]

Check that region.

[placid zinc]

ok

[compact coral]

open the nvidia control panel > manage 3d settings > click on the tab that says program settings > add > select gamma's .exe file > look for antialiasing setting and antialiasing transparency parameters

antialiasing affects 3d objects while the transparency affects 2d images

[tribal fiber]

Ayy nice

Thanksies for the good info!

[north turret]

Hello, I'm on Freedomer's drug delivery quest and I can't find Stashes. A thorough search of railroads and bridges has been conducted, but no stash has been found anywhere. Does anyone know about this quest?

[placid zinc]

found it Sonic

thx for help

[placid zinc]

Its on the bridge

[graceful iron]

on top of the bridge there is a stash

[north turret]

There is a stash. At the top left part i think it was there a red box

[placid zinc]

like literally on the beams

[sonic crow]

Can you walk around the radar and other brain scorcher affected areas without the Sakharov helmet if you start as monolith?

[rigid adder]

Hello stalkers!
I have a problem with the enemy npc-s. They can't see me until I push them or shoot nearly them, I can even speak with them.
Any advice?

[north turret]

They work on it.

I've read.

[north turret]

red box? Really? But I haven't seen such a box. Are you sure you know exactly where the shipment was?

[graceful iron]

the stash can be any type of box

its randomized

[north turret]

That one. And i was wrong it wasn't red.

Okay, let's check again. Thanks everybody.

[rigid adder]

One more question, why does my health HUD looks like this?

[graceful iron]

pressing H should toggle it

[north turret]

I have noticed that the radius of items in stashes and NPCs loaded is reduced. Is there a way to increase it and is it reduced on purpose?

is it just me or does anomaly become less interesting after disabling the brain scorcher and heading north? all the struggle and grit up to that point gets reduced because at that point everything becomes easier compared to earlier and its less scary as a result

[rigid adder]

it does nothing

[rigid adder]

yes, I feel the same

[graceful iron]

make sure your gamma is up to date, the UI not appearing was fixed about 2 days ago

[rigid adder]

I just updated it, still looks the same

[north turret]

Wow, The box really did exist! I don't know why I didn't take a closer look there. I really appreciate your help in resolving the problem.

[graceful iron]

updated data > only install gamma addons ?

[north turret]

Thanks, it's resolved. 😃

[rigid adder]

at first I did it wrong, now its working thanks!

[tardy lantern]

Does the body health system affect NPCs as well or just the player?

[north turret]

no, but ballistics system does

[lament falcon]

Hello is it safe to enable aggresor reshade

[willow hawk]

Laughs in Sin and ISG squads @north turret

The north is mainly transitioning from small quests to finishing the plot and main storyline

Which is natural imo, and you still have stuff to do like finding a nosorog, improving your artefacts etc

If you farmed the north a lot before disabling the brain scorcher, well, too bad, just speed run the story then

[shut tinsel]

Guy, I've got a monolith exoskeleton, I've put military battery unit and mil-spec exoskeleton power supply, but I'm still not able to sprint. How come? Do I need some kind of upgrade?

[tidal raft]

Charge it.

If you haven't already, there is a sprint upgrade in the very first tier.

[shut tinsel]

Chare what and how?

[tidal raft]

The suit needs to be charged with batteries before it can properly sprint. You also need the first tier upgrade.

[shut tinsel]

I don't see spring upgrade

[tidal raft]

Scroll down.

[shut tinsel]

Drag and drop "military battery unit" unto exo? I did they got like 90%

There is nothing regarding sptrinting when I scroll down

[tidal raft]

That's not how it's supposed to look..

[shut tinsel]

OK it showed up when I approached the technician. Thanks!

[tidal raft]

[midnight shard]

Do i need to use default MCM settings or not?

or this is config changes?

[bitter monolith]

Is survival mode not supported on gamma vanilla? Because I spawn with all the npcs and allies in the base

[midnight shard]

Ok. Nvm. Yes. U need to use default MCM settings sto get these changes and tweak all of other mods in MCM again

[burnt kraken]

Hi, can someone tell me how rank system works? I'm free stalker and got 2k+ reputation points already but I'm still novice.

[north turret]

How can i turn of ballistic overhaul without causing game to crash everytime i kill someone

[compact coral]

2k is literally nothing compared to the high ranks

those have 50k

and some even 60k

[burnt kraken]

So to be able to buy any armor or gun I have to do houndreds of tasks? xD

[compact coral]

you will never be able to buy guns and armor

youre supposed to scavenge those from the cold dead bodies of your enemies

or from stashes

[burnt kraken]

Oh, well in Gamma manual guide on PDA it was written otherwise, but ok. Thanks for answer anyway. ^^

[compact coral]

what you can buy from merchants is the materials that part of an armor or a gun

but those are hella expensive

its mostly made that way to encourage you to fix and repair your weapons by yourself making full use of the whole range of tools that are available

[radiant stirrup]

is there any way to map two controls to the same key?

[north turret]

whats the best way to defeat a controller i always get destroyed

[radiant stirrup]

pyi block and a tree usually works for me

[north turret]

tree?

[radiant stirrup]

brake line of sight to him

[north turret]

i tried psy block with no success unfortunately

[radiant stirrup]

are you getting zoomed in killed? or just running out of psy juice?

[north turret]

zoomed in and stun effects

[small breach]

sorry to bug peeps here but how do i uptade gamma without having to go through my settings again?

[radiant stirrup]

that happens when you look directly at him for too long. you need to hide behind an object, peek out and shoot him a few times, then duck again

[north turret]

#💽how-to-update

[north turret]

ah cheers

[small breach]

dont i need to back up a user.tlx?

[young plinth]

Can tracking device mutants spawn in agroprom underground?

[leaden rampart]

!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

[north turret]

doing brain scorcher mission and have no idea how to disable it

[radiant stirrup]

need to make your way to the end of the undergrounds and find a console next to a vat thing on a catwalk, hit f on it. then just make your way back out

[north turret]

oh back the way i came?

[radiant stirrup]

yeah after you've hit the switch you can leave

[compact birch]

sorta...

[north turret]

i kept getting killed by controller at locked door as i ran out of ammo

[compact birch]

lol

[radiant stirrup]

shhh

[compact birch]

whoa that isn't brain scorcher

[radiant stirrup]

ah, you many want to bring a lot more ammo then you think. you'll need it after your done

[compact birch]

are you in radar or yantar

[north turret]

yantar

[compact birch]

ok, you hit the 3 switches and get the crazy sirens and stuff right

[north turret]

yea

[compact birch]

then at the top there is a master switch, you hit that

and you are dueling the controller at the end

[north turret]

oh what

i hit one in the middle

then i was told to go back the way i came

[compact birch]

i guess, i never did that lol, i always went for the documents

[radiant stirrup]

sorry that's my bad. after the 3 switches you black out for a bit. you want to go up this little staircase and there's an exit into a tunnel

[north turret]

oh crap i just lost that save

3 switches

i've been running thru with no ammo and spamming save 😂

[radiant stirrup]

you will need ammo for the exit though. im not sure but you might be able to leave from the entrance

do you have grenades?

[north turret]

so theres more than one switch i need to pull or no?

[compact birch]

yes, there are 3 switches that regulate the power and a master switch way at the top

you will know cause the place will be honking and shaking

[radiant stirrup]

yeah after you pull the last one you black out for a bit

[compact coral]

bruh just pull the cord and thats it

brain cant function without electricity

[north turret]

what a helpful answer

[compact coral]

youre welcome

[north turret]

i've just finished the mission yet it still shows up on the pda?

[radiant stirrup]

are you sure you did all the objectives? the final switches updates the quest I believe

[north turret]

yes i had sakharov confirm it once i left tunnels

[radiant stirrup]

you mission isn't called Wish granter now?

[north turret]

oh this ones in a different spot now

the new one is at radar

[radiant stirrup]

right yeah. that one mission will keep updating till you 'beat' the game

[north turret]

so is there any point in doing it?

[compact coral]

do you want to beat the game?

[radiant stirrup]

well its the story. it seems like you've not done it before, so yeah worth playing for lore and stuff i guess

you can also get to the end and choose not to end the game

[compact coral]

its very weird to choose anomaly as your first ever interaction with the franchise

[radiant stirrup]

once you beat this story it unlocks new factorions and more stories

[north turret]

i've played a bit of the others years ago tried again and it was so outdated i've been playing anomaly on and off for awhile now

[compact coral]

just google project vanilla stalker overhaul and play soc first

after that youre pretty much covered in the most general sense about the lore and factions of the game and playing anomaly will make a hell lot of more sense

personal recommendation tho

you can still keep playing anomaly if you want

is up to you

[willow hawk]

Play Radiophobia 3

[radiant stirrup]

COP with some light mods is the most polished aside from anom. keep in mind the franchise is a story game foremost and a gun play secondly

[willow hawk]

CoP + Gunslinger is the best out there but it’s COP

Lost Alpha DC + Gunslinger seems good but it’s unbalanced

[warped ginkgo]

wtf ladcega released?

[young plinth]

Damn it's like gamma becomes the new starting point instead of vanilla anomaly or soc

[radiant stirrup]

you've made the mod too good grok

[willow hawk]

LADC gunslinger is in Russian only iirc

It’s not story based though

I mean the story is pretty bad

[radiant stirrup]

people are starting with stalker from 0 with anom + gamma

[willow hawk]

Yes that’s what I see as well

Mainly because it’s rather well polished and updated frequently

And easy to install

So if you are a new comer, you would hop in gamma since EFP is less stalker like

[warped ginkgo]

https://youtu.be/c1a1b-1KI1s

[willow hawk]

Some stuff is goddamn unbalanced that’s the issue

[young plinth]

It's like the third question about living legend questline (soc) i've seen recently here

[radiant stirrup]

you should make a patch that requires you to hand in a completed save for all three games before you can play gamma

[willow hawk]

Gamma is really different from the base games

[young plinth]

you get a gigachad patch reward if you complete clear sky

[willow hawk]

Watch a story recap and hop in gamma, what’s the problem

[radiant stirrup]

well yeah you can. but its not the same as experiencing it. plus is cool to see how much better gamma is then cop

[willow hawk]

Gamma is mainly about the gameplay anyways

[willow hawk]

Well yes, but you can’t expect people from playing all 3 games

[young plinth]

story recaps may not necessarily cover every mainline quest in the 3 main questlines

[willow hawk]

Even nowadays if you ask me what’s the best way to play soc I wouldn’t know

[young plinth]

Reclamation patches for everything except cop

[radiant stirrup]

True. last time I touched the franchise was to play Misery, but its not like new people should be playing with mods like that

[young plinth]

Don't mean to force everyone that hasn't played the 3 games to go play them but i just find it funny that gamma, an anomaly modpack that requires some anomaly experience, is being used as a starting point

It is a good modpack

Debatable that anomaly already requires stalker game experience in its questlines

[radiant stirrup]

its really just the little things. like anyone who has only played anom will have no idea why there are crashed helicopters and bodies everywhere

[young plinth]

and will have no idea where strelok's hideout is

Maybe not necessarily required to play the 3 games, it's just that anyone who did will have an easier time figuring it all out

[north turret]

Isn't it's collision be like Empty Exo Repair Kit?

[pulsar yoke]

I have a question, There should be a apartment in either Pripyat or Pripyat Outskirts which you can reach trough climbing a tree that's growing outside on the wall of the building, anyone knows where that is located? Should be a nice place for a hideout

[willow hawk]

Outskirts @pulsar yoke

Very unpractical to reach

[pulsar yoke]

Ok I searched there but could not find it, where is it located on the map?

[willow hawk]

Not far from the port

[pulsar yoke]

Ahh the only area I did not search 😂 ok thx will have a look there later

[austere peak]

yeah i had a discussion yesterday about performance on here, no matter what i do i can now get my frames to be good in certain places on the map or looking at certain things. So i asked on here, alot of people told me this is a cpu heavy game. I have a rtx 2060 super, and a pretty good cpu as well. Anyway im checking my system while play through task manger. My cpu is pulling 20 % at most, and my gpu is pulling 60-80. 80 when i have lag spikes.
just wondering if anyone has any input on the issue

[willow hawk]

It’s single threaded

6ghz oc dual core >>> 4ghz octo core for this game

[sly moss]

is there a way to increase the reload speed animation? specifically of pump action shotguns, it feels a little too 'casual' and slow, not how a stalker would be reloading in the middle of a gunfight lol

[willow hawk]

No

Get a spas12

[austere peak]

so is there anyway to run only one tread or am i just gonna have to deal?
