[willow hawk]

You can use an already installed one but it’s asking for issues

[icy plume]

Makes sense

[umbral canopy]

What does the PDA simple mode?

[shadow sapphire]

You mean get the 2d pda?

[serene sierra]

ok, so i clicked open MO2, did the eror but it says i dont have a valid install, which is weird because i can boot up the game and play, what do i do?

[umbral canopy]

No, the option in the UI menu

[shadow sapphire]

What says you don't have a valid install?

[shadow sapphire]

I'll be honest. I don't know what you are talking about. Sorry. Hopefully someone else does.

[umbral canopy]

i Will upload a screenshot later

[shadow sapphire]

Click stalker anomaly and navigate to the correct folder.

[serene sierra]

which folder? i cant find anything that will work in my stalker folder

[shadow sapphire]

You need to go to your anomaly folder just the main one it self where you see appdata bin and tools

Don't pick anything in the folder. It's the folder itself

[serene sierra]

it just gives me this

[shadow sapphire]

Send me a picture of that folder

[serene sierra]

any idea?

[shadow sapphire]

Not the gamma folder. The anonaly folder is where you point it.

[serene sierra]

that is the anomaly folder

[shadow sapphire]

No. That's the gamma folder.

[shadow sapphire]

Are you trying to install gamma on top of an efp install?

[serene sierra]

do i need to delete it?

[shadow sapphire]

Where is your anomaly launcher

Did you put gamma in the anomaly folder?

[serene sierra]

im just gonna try a fresh install

[shadow sapphire]

#old-how-to keep gamma and anomaly in separate folders.

Follow that channel and you'll be good to go

[serene sierra]

ok

[north turret]

is it bad when the installer says it is unable to download the addon archive?

[willow hawk]

It’s just because moddb servers are flooded

Be patient

[north turret]

ah, so it will eventually dl it then?

[willow hawk]

Basically gamma uses few mirrors and they are saturated + EU servers are dead since a week

So the mirror selection thing of the installer doesn’t work, it switches back to the mirror provided by moddb automatically

[north turret]

oh i see

[willow hawk]

So addons will download, but with suboptimal speed

[north turret]

perfect. thanks : )

[woven valley]

so fallowing the guide I just updated my gamma and now its crashing on launching a save game/ new game and ideas?

[shadow sapphire]

!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 G.A.M.M.A. data -> Full G.A.M.M.A. Installation

[slender peak]

Some of the stashes are marked wrong on the map, for example, got one in Rostok Checkpoint in Carbage smack bang middle on the ground but no sign of the stash

unless theres some underground im unaware of?

[willow hawk]

Check the trees ?

[slender peak]

there is no trees, just bare concrete for 20 meters in every direction

[carmine wyvern]

send a screenshot

only way to really help you

[slender peak]

sure, ill head back there now

[carmine wyvern]

or get the Lamp Artifact

[north turret]

Ok, just updated the 634 and all the water in the Great Swamp is super grey and flickers. Any fix?

Updated the modpack to 634*

[graceful iron]

did you delete shaders cache ?

!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.

[north turret]

Ahhh didn't know to NOT use the launcher "delete shader" option. Thank you mate.

[slender peak]

and this is the spot 2 feet away from me

also checked the sky but no floating stashes either

[shadow sapphire]

Check the concrete around that, and by the pipe. I'm not familiar with that stash.

[slender peak]

did, nothing around it

[shadow sapphire]

Interesting. 333 mods?

[slender peak]

yup

all i did was remove a texture mod making the grass too dead looking

[shadow sapphire]

If you don't mind send me the save files please.

@graceful iron the crow stash thing was fixed right?

[graceful iron]

i dont remember any fixes for it, and this definitely looks similar

you can check by waiting for the next emission or psy storm and checking the stash again, it will probably be moved to the correct spot

[shadow sapphire]

I know there is a vanilla stash just south of that one. But I don't remember one there

[graceful iron]

nope, there arent any stashes where that marker is

its definitely a bug

[shadow sapphire]

Yup. He sent the saves, I'll throw it on trelli so I can investigate

[tardy steppe]

So when I try to start a new game I get this

FATAL ERROR

[error]Expression : _Name && _Name[0]
[error]Function : CResourceManager::_CreateTexture
[error]File : ..\xrRenderDX10\dx10ResourceManager_Resources.cpp
[error]Line : 629
[error]Description : assertion failed

But I'm not trying to use DX10, I'm using DX11. It only happens once I actually try to load in a new character. Anybody seen this before?

[graceful iron]

you are launching DX11 AVX or without ? how many addons active in mo2, and are there any red X's ?

[tardy steppe]

DX11 AVX and non-AVX. 333 active. 1 red x on 'Tooltip in Corner - RavenAscendant" but that mod isn't active.

Oh it might not be a GAMMA thing. I just tried with no mods and it did the same thing.

[graceful iron]

you are using windows 11?

[tardy steppe]

10

Oh, yeah even if I just launch Anomoly through the Anomoly launcher it has the same error

[shadow sapphire]

Amd?

[tardy steppe]

AMD CPU Nvidia GPU

[shadow sapphire]

Send the whole log please

!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.

[tardy steppe]

it looks like there's a lot of things missing 👀

[shadow sapphire]

Nah the sound thing is normal

[tardy steppe]

oh ok

[shadow sapphire]

When did you install?

[tardy steppe]

today

[shadow sapphire]

What were you doing on the save before new game, it shows a crap ton of level changes

[tardy steppe]

I've never played Anomaly or Gamma before o:

[shadow sapphire]

Interesting.

[tardy steppe]

I've only played a few hours of the other stalker games too. Maybe like, 5 hours across all games

[shadow sapphire]

Did you change any settings in menus?

[tardy steppe]

Only graphics I think

Are there any specific ones to look out for?

[shadow sapphire]

In graphics not really. In mcm yes

[deft escarp]

Did you download the old DirectX package and install it before installing Anomaly/Gamma?

[shadow sapphire]

How are you launching the game?

[tardy steppe]

I don't think I've ever installed a DirectX package manually

[deft escarp]

That might be it

[tardy steppe]

Through the MO2 mod loader thing

[deft escarp]

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=35 try installing that (it's from Microsoft, it safe)

[tardy steppe]

oh ok

[deft escarp]

Can't guarantee it'll help you but I don't think Windows automatically installs the old DX anymore, and these old games still use it.

[tardy steppe]

oh!

[lunar lantern]

make sure to uncheck the bing bar install option while installing the DX

[deft escarp]

Yeah nobody wants Bing lol

Poor Bing 😦

[tardy steppe]

Alright I'll try again

dang

same error

[deft escarp]

Damnit

[shadow sapphire]

Do me a favor. Screenshot anomaly folder and mo2

[shadow sapphire]

Give me a moment. Let me interrogate the log more

[tardy steppe]

want the new log? o:

[deft escarp]

In mod organizer I run mine with "Anomaly Launcher" not DX11 or AVX.

[shadow sapphire]

Yes please

[shadow sapphire]

Bad.

[deft escarp]

Why?

I choose DX11 from the launcher anyway

[tardy steppe]

Part of me hopes this is an easy fix but another part of me hopes I messed this up in an impressive and strange way

[shadow sapphire]

How did you extract anomaly?

@graceful iron can you search a texture file for me in mo2?

ston\ston_bricks3

[tardy steppe]

I used the extract button in winrar o:

[graceful iron]

[tardy steppe]

And I made sure to put it in it's own file with gamma in a different file

totally separated

[graceful iron]

#old-how-to its highly recommended that you use 7zip to extract gamma and anomaly

winrar is known to cause issues when extracting anomaly

[tardy steppe]

ohno

[shadow sapphire]

Specifically this issue

[tardy steppe]

really?

[shadow sapphire]

Where it doesn't extract everything

Unless cat finds that texture in a mod

[graceful iron]

cant find it in mo2

[shadow sapphire]

Yup you got winrared

[tardy steppe]

I DID mess it up in a weird way \o/

[shadow sapphire]

It happens. Good news is you don't have to fight moddb again. Just re extract via 7zip onto your folders replace all then only install gamma addons and go to town

[tardy steppe]

yay

[cinder egret]

just launched gamma and having this error, what might this be?

[graceful iron]

it was working before?

[cinder egret]

yes

[graceful iron]

if its not an antivirus issue, go to your gamma folder and delete this mod organizer INI and then launch mo2 again

[deft escarp]

Looks like you'll have to reinstall. The good news is that GAMMA is so ridiculously good that it's worth the effort.

[graceful iron]

what? who?

[cinder egret]

got it, thank you : )

[graceful iron]

[tardy steppe]

I'm back with a whole new error :D

[graceful iron]

try this

[tardy steppe]

ok

[graceful iron]

wait, you re-extracted a new anomaly folder ?

[tardy steppe]

same one o:

I replaced everything

[graceful iron]

okay. see if that fix works

[tardy steppe]

it all works now \o/

thank~

[glossy dagger]

do I save at campfires or no

[carmine wyvern]

yes

[glossy dagger]

👍 ty

[carmine wyvern]

campfire must be lit

[glossy dagger]

ok

[carmine wyvern]

you can also save inside the X-Bunkers

[glossy dagger]

ooh ok ty

[hexed birch]

So I have a question when it comes to artifact quests, why is the reward so trash for them? I have a 84% pin that’s worth 14k to the scientists I gave it to beard and he gave 1054 rubles

For the quest

[keen coral]

Since this modpack is modular, is it possible to disable Tarkov voices for both NPCs and Player?

[graceful iron]

!voice

[raw raft]

Disable 15- Voiced Actor - DesmanMetzger and G.A.M.M.A. Voiced Actor in MO2.
You can disable them safely even in the middle of your playthrough.

[keen coral]

Oh, thank you kind sir

[graceful iron]

this is for the player, but i have no idea about the npcs

[glossy dagger]

is there a way i can remove the takrkov footstep sounds too

[idle orbit]

anyone know why I am unable to see a quest marker for Last Dawn: retrieve the scanner?

[graceful iron]

there is no marker for that one

[idle orbit]

oh

[graceful iron]

you can read the text for hints

if you cant find it, go to #🤖bot-commands and type !scanner

[idle orbit]

I saw NW of the village and SW side of swamp

is it that pop anomaly?

[graceful iron]

pop anomaly?

[idle orbit]

ah found it

"bog powder"

[graceful iron]

and i managed to forget the name of the anomaly

[slender peak]

attacked the Loner village in Cordon with like 6 mercs and 3 bandits, managed to kill everything after a long and drawn bloodbath but Hip just wont die, i wasted like 20 SV98 rounds on her along whatever my companions peppered her with, 100% immortal, any fix for this?

[graceful iron]

she isnt immortal, just tougher than most npcs because she is a "story" character

[slender peak]

well i just watched her eat bullets for like 10 minutes straight

so yeah, id say immortal

and thats just semantic

s

and from 10 people shooting non stop

[deft escarp]

10 mercs and bandits shooting at once. Mercs and bandits don't count as people!

[slender peak]

we are but products of the zone!

[deft escarp]

You are BUNGHOLIO!

I kid, never even tried to kill Hip, I always Loner

[slender peak]

I didnt even intend to attack them, tried to skirt around to attack the military outpost behind the village to get some AKs

but my overly zealous comrades felt it was necessary

so i obliged

so... self defence?

ill just reload since i want to do her questline at some point anyway, just need a disguise

[deft escarp]

Good idea

If you can't beat 'em join 'em

[slender peak]

heheh, there must be some truth to that how tough she was

makes my bandit buddies look like whimps

[deft escarp]

Maybe she has epic artefacts equipped

[slender peak]

or maybe they simped out and intentionally aimed too low or something

[deft escarp]

Also with 9 companions CTD's would've killed you eventually anyway

[slender peak]

well, weve been causing havoc from dark valley to agroprom already no hiccups

[deft escarp]

That's the only time I ever get CTD in Gamma. Stupid companions and their pathfinding.

[slender peak]

i get CTD sometimes when i sell certain items

[deft escarp]

But that's a Stalker/Anomaly problem we have to live with

[slender peak]

but its rare enough to not care

companion pathfinding is terrible especially if theres a puddle between you and them, suddenly theyre left like 200m away

is there an addon or something to make them walk in water ?

[deft escarp]

Honestly I just give up on companions in Stalker games a long time ago. I play alone.

[slender peak]

been avoiding the swamps for that reason, well, not the only reason...

i like my cheeki gang

but sometimes like to go solo

if its a long travel to get some stashes ill take few with me just because of all the mutants

[deft escarp]

Nice talking to you but got to go. Me and my dog are going to play Blair Witch Project in the woods.

[slender peak]

o7

enjoy

[rain wren]

how do i reset all the mod manager settings?

[shadow sapphire]

As in the mods?

!default

[raw raft]

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

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

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

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

[rain wren]

the mod manager settings

[shadow sapphire]

Mo2 or mcm?

[rain wren]

mcm

[shadow sapphire]

Oh. Do the modlist default it will fix mcm too

[rain wren]

k

but what about settings?

like sliders

how to default them

[rain wren]

u mean press the default button in mcm right?

[shadow sapphire]

No I mean the command I set. Follow that and it will put everything to default for gamma

[rain wren]

u mean with the 2) Click on Only install G.A.M.M.A. addons

[shadow sapphire]

Yes

[rain wren]

Also, does this modpack have shader-based 2d scopes?

[shadow sapphire]

Yes

[dusty flicker]

after updating my game crashes everytime i try and load in game does anyone know a fix for this

[graceful iron]

post the crash log

[dusty flicker]

its been a while how do i do that i forgot

[willow hawk]

!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.

[north turret]

Same for me, looked at everyone else having this problem solutions and none of them work. Here is my log

[willow hawk]

!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 G.A.M.M.A. data -> Full G.A.M.M.A. Installation

[willow hawk]

this will fix your issue

[north turret]

yeah i've tried, seems to not replace anything

I'm very bad at files lol

[willow hawk]

cause you are doing it wrong

[north turret]

yee

[willow hawk]

move the 1.5.2 zip to the game folder

right click > extract here

[north turret]

Will try again

[willow hawk]

it should ask you to replace files

[rancid silo]

I have a similar problem here is my log

[north turret]

Yeah, doesn't ask to replace anything

probably need to reinstall Anomaly?

[shadow sapphire]

Update to 1.5.2

[shadow sapphire]

Your extracting to a folder in your anomaly folder

[willow hawk]

Screenshot your Anomaly fodler

[shadow sapphire]

What mod did you add

[north turret]

lol finna embarrass myself

[rancid silo]

Just used the gamma installer

didn't add anything

[shadow sapphire]

How many active mods?

[willow hawk]

is your Anomaly folder clean ?

[rancid silo]

333

[shadow sapphire]

See the top folder. The stuff from there needs to be in the anomaly folder not in its own folder

[north turret]

so could i just move it all out into the anomaly folder?

[willow hawk]

copy the content of the Anomaly151 152 folder into the anomaly folder

yes

[north turret]

gotcha

[willow hawk]

can you screenshot the content of your anomaly Gamedata folder ?

[rancid silo]

I installed dltx

[north turret]

Is there supposed the be only one thing in that update folder?

[shadow sapphire]

You mean you installed something already included?

[willow hawk]

Just do it please 😉 screenshot the content of your anomaly/gamedata folder

[dusty flicker]

so downloading this S.T.A.L.K.E.R. ANOMALY 1.5.1 TO 1.5.2 UPDATE and extracting into my anomaly folder is what im supposed to do correct

[rancid silo]

Yes I installed it before gamma

[willow hawk]

your Anomaly folder should be clean

unmodded

otherwise you'll run into issues

[willow hawk]

yes

[shadow sapphire]

No

[north turret]

that be a problem

[shadow sapphire]

Did you use 7zip?

[north turret]

yes

let me do it again

[shadow sapphire]

Yup and in the extract window untick the box below the top address bar

[willow hawk]

otherwise simply open the archive with 7z GUI and drag and drop the content into your anomaly folder

[dusty flicker]

is this clean

[willow hawk]

open up gamedata

[north turret]

does GAMMA come with HD models for characters?

[dusty flicker]

and just to be sure this extract into this folder Anomaly-1.5.1.2

[north turret]

Appreciate the help btw guys

[willow hawk]

It uses DICK models https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/dick

[willow hawk]

did you mod your anomaly already ? You should only have a configs folder in there

[willow hawk]

We don't let any fellow stalker down

[dusty flicker]

i have an up to date gamma modpack

[willow hawk]

it's not updated to 1.5.2 though

[dusty flicker]

yea i just finished extracting files from S.T.A.L.K.E.R. ANOMALY 1.5.1 TO 1.5.2 UPDATE and now about to update gamma data

[north turret]

Crashing on launch of the game now

It did ask to replace files this time

[shadow sapphire]

!k98

[raw raft]

Please copy the contents of: GAMMA RC3.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches to your Anomaly folder, replace all if asked. Here is a picture for reference: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1012510897136222293/1013951079538495528/k98.png

[north turret]

👍

Keeps crashing on startup, but not getting a crash log

[shadow sapphire]

These no log?

At all?

[north turret]

I have two from a few minutes ago

but not getting any new ones

[shadow sapphire]

Did you refresh the explorer window?

[north turret]

Yes

[shadow sapphire]

How are you launching?

[slender peak]

ok this is a new low, 5 CTDs in an hour

[north turret]

Tried through the Mod organizer and just the normal anomaly launch

[willow hawk]

usign DX11 ?

[north turret]

Yes

here is the one from earlier

FATAL ERROR

[willow hawk]

!152

[raw raft]

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

3. Overwrite everything when asked to do so
4. Open the installer with admin rights
5. Click on Update G.A.M.M.A. data -> Full G.A.M.M.A. Installation

[willow hawk]

just do a full install

[north turret]

Of anomaly?

[willow hawk]

since now your game should be properly patched to 1.5.2

[willow hawk]

no in the installer

[north turret]

Oh, so downloading all the mods again?

little lost sorry

[willow hawk]

no

full install in the installer doesn't reDL everything

[north turret]

gotcha gotcha

[shadow sapphire]

!full

[raw raft]

A Full Install does NOT remove saves, nor does it mean you are redownloading everything. A full install will simply check every mod in the pack, and any that need to be updated will be updated.

[willow hawk]

Open up gamma installer > Full Install

it will recheck and reinstall addons

[north turret]

doing it now, thank you

[willow hawk]

this fixes all the problems usually

[north turret]

hopefully

[willow hawk]

but spamming it can get you flagged by moddb

(yeah the real issue with gamma isn't gamma or the installer, it's moddb)

[north turret]

ahhh

after this, should i be good to launch it? don't wanna mess anything up lol

[willow hawk]

should be yes

[north turret]

Alrighty

Nope, still crashing

with no log either

Decided to just verify the game via the normal launcher and got this

[willow hawk]

it's useless

[willow hawk]

!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.

[north turret]

no logs

any way i can change player name once i've started a game or no

[north turret]

Should be in the settings somewhere I think, someone else might know exactly

ah its under general in gameplay thank you

no problem

[slender peak]

if i disassemble ammo, do i get enough materials to craft the same amount of ammo or is there lossage?

[north turret]

hmm though i changed it in settings in doesn't change in inventory screen

maybe save and restart?

durr im silly i didn't press enter 😂

oh

[willow hawk]

loss

you can't disassemble and craft ammo to a 1:1 ratio

[slender peak]

right

[willow hawk]

good ammo are hard to craft

[slender peak]

thanks

[willow hawk]

booting DX11 ?

[north turret]

Yes, tried in both the normal launcher and the MO

[willow hawk]

what's the normal launcher do ?

[slender peak]

found a nearly pristine SV98 and no one sells ammo for it yet, but luckily got enough crafting materials to last me a while

[willow hawk]

when you boot the game from Anomaly/bin folder directly

[north turret]

Same the the MO, starts to launch and then closes

[willow hawk]

Then you Anomaly is fucked

[north turret]

fawk

[willow hawk]

that's why you should simply read and follow #old-how-to

[north turret]

I did, guess not well enough

[willow hawk]

Extract anomaly 1.5.1, apply 1.5.2 > boot the game once

[north turret]

alrighty

[willow hawk]

the install easy if you follow the steps carefully

[north turret]

think i could do it now that i know how to update properly. Will take me hours to reinstall everything but will try again tomorrow. Appreciate the help!

[soft cloak]

whats this BAS update?

[willow hawk]

No

[dusty flicker]

@willow hawk followed you instructions and im glad to say my game works i was able to load into a new game no crashes and everything seems to be working fine thank you

[willow hawk]

[willow hawk]

Should arrive soon TM

[dusty flicker]

just a quick question if i wanna use the aggressor reshade do i enable it in mod organizer

[willow hawk]

Only the first full install is long

[willow hawk]

You need to install it separately

[dusty flicker]

ive installed it in the past and it shows up in game under presets

and seems to be working

[north turret]

Takes me a bit, internet is not the best

[gray cloud]

something is causeing me to crash to desktop when i try to start a new save. i enabled some mods within the mod list how would i find out what the problem is?

correction: new game

[versed tusk]

good morning everyone

[gray cloud]

morning

[versed tusk]

if you enabled mods, you are no longer Vanilla and go to #🔨modded-gamma-support

best is to post your crash log

!crash

[gray mist]

everything default ( i have 333 active mods)

[versed tusk]

no red Xs in the MO2?

[restive night]

how do we get instant travel without the 1 hour wait time. I tried the MOD menu, only lets you do minimum 1 hour

[gray mist]

i don't see red X

[north turret]

keep getting killed by controller even tho i'm not looking at them with the zoom in kill?

[gray mist]

ok no there is one, but it's disabled

[versed tusk]

ok yeah - that one is disabled and you can right click it > reinstall > merge

it would not cause your crash I'm sure

let's start with these

!questions

[raw raft]

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

Your Anomaly folder MUST BE CLEAN. NO JSGME, NO MODS ADDED BY YOU, NOTHING. CLEAN. LITERALLY JUST EXTRACTED CLEAN.

1. G.A.M.M.A. doesn't work with Anomaly 1.5.1 anymore. Have you updated to 1.5.2? (if you didn't, type and send !152 in #🤖bot-commands)
2. Using Windows 7 or Windows 11 instead of Windows 10? Go in #🤖bot-commands, type !windows7 or !windows11
3. Do you have Mod Organizer 2 (MO2) installed in your computer? If you do, UNINSTALL IT
4. Where do you keep Anomaly and G.A.M.M.A.? Make sure everything is separated, they both need a singular folder, don't put everything inside ONE folder.
   ^If you're using Desktop/Downloads/Documents/One Drive/Program Files or Programs Files (x86), move everything out of there.
5. How many active mods do you have in your mod list? The default is #📍577-mods-in-mo2
6. Have you enabled or disabled something? Can you see any red crosses (❌) in your mod list?

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

[gray mist]

!windows11

[raw raft]

If you have Windows 11, be sure to disable Bit Defender if you have it and be sure to update MO2 to the latest version, 2.4.4. Follow the passages in this pic: https://i.imgur.com/vG6SqwM.png

[gray mist]

Ok it could be this

[gray cloud]

real quick how can i revert my mod list to the default so its just what should be enabled from the start?

[north turret]

does it matter what you named the GAMMA folder?

[gray mist]

nope still crash

i think ill start an md5 check with the gamma installer

[soft cloak]

lol but what is it

[versed tusk]

Boomsticks and Sharpsticks

a mod with many a boosticks and shrapsticks

[gray mist]

im dumb i downloaded the update and extracted it, but i forgot to apply it

[versed tusk]

happens - let me know if you can boot then

[rancid silo]

just reinstall anomaly and I got this error

[gray mist]

thank you for your help

[versed tusk]

did you update to 152?

[rancid silo]

yep

[willow hawk]

Lots of new guns and animations

[soft cloak]

you're my boy, blue

[willow hawk]

Is your Anomaly folder unmodded ?

[rain wren]

why does Z remove patch?

The keybinds channel doesn't mention this.

[versed tusk]

its in MCM setting for the patch addon

[willow hawk]

I didn't updated the keybind map in a while

[rain wren]

Are you going to?

[willow hawk]

Yes, after I add one addon that changes how detector is pulled

[rain wren]

Alright, i'll fuck around with the keybinds

You see the new OperatorDrewski video on your modpack?

Lotta new people will be coming in

[willow hawk]

indeed

[versed tusk]

we have noticed

[willow hawk]

I'm already seeing the effect don't worry

[versed tusk]

[willow hawk]

been on the bridge to help people since the video is up

[rain wren]

It's a blessing and a curse

I guess

[austere mortar]

expedition will still be youtube king

and we will still get 10 fkn questions about it daily

[rain wren]

Also, does the modpack have those cool shader scopes?

[versed tusk]

till 6am for me, and back at it again - halp

[rain wren]

also

What button is unjam then?

If Z is for patch

[versed tusk]

R

unless you use mags

[rain wren]

So same as reload

?

[versed tusk]

yes

[rain wren]

k

[versed tusk]

and you can rebind the patches key in mcm

MCM > keybinds, or MCM > Patches

[rancid silo]

It works, thank you. Just had to reinstall Gamma.

[slender peak]

so, tips to silently kill a mob hit target without getting bullets from the whole base?

tried with silencer when no one looking and still everyone got mad

[austere mortar]

wait for night, be ninja

[slender peak]

ok ill try ninja

[austere mortar]

silencer should work, its just in anomaly everyone can hear body drop (or whatever sound mod has incorrect comments again xd)

[slender peak]

aight ill try some more!

[rain wren]

Is it alright to load a save that didn't have mags, after enabling mags?

[versed tusk]

you can activate mags on an existing save

but not turn it off again

you also wont have mags for existing guns except the one inside the gun

"mags buyable at traders" in mo2 makes them at least available to you if you want

[rain wren]

All i needed to know, thanks

There's always debug mode

[versed tusk]

that too

[willow hawk]

yes and even more, like cool guns shaders currently specific to this pack 😉

[rain wren]

Yes I saw that, very nice.

Oh

Are there still those old unusable ammo in this modpack?

[versed tusk]

old ammo is not in Gamma

its just unnecessary item bloat

[rain wren]

Very good

I like this modpack more and more

[willow hawk]

there are just old grenades

I'm meaning to get rid of that at some point

[brisk zinc]

You can find old ammo

But the moment you take them, they will be "mutated" into regular new ammo

So in a way they're still in but you can't use them

[slender peak]

nope, im spotted no matter where or how far i am, at night, using silencer, killing him when hes out far away from others

and its inside army warehouse base so its not like i can make a dash for the exit...

[rain wren]

Holy shit, you guys even have the top sight on the susat scope? This is great

[slender peak]

final time i take a mob hit mission in this area...

[grizzled raven]

try sniping?

and disguises

or you can just

wait until they move out of aw

[slender peak]

well, i have an SV98 i could try it with but there only dead angles here inside the base

and there is no spot i can shoot from outside the base due to the high walls

[tender topaz]

Hi Newby here✌️
i have now properly installed GAMMA!
Do i have to manually set my keybindings?

sorry for bad eng^^

[slender peak]

could be mistaken here

i could try a disguise but dont think it makes a difference since its clear they hear the noise anyway, no matter what im wearing

[soft cloak]

any clues to find dead researcher in garbage?

[willow hawk]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

^mostly accurate

[versed tusk]

want the spoiler? or will you try and look yourself?

[soft cloak]

been looking for an hour lol

[grizzled raven]

really weird

well you can wait until they get out of the base ig

much easier to kill them that way

[willow hawk]

disguises work

[versed tusk]

try the flea market

and i dont mean UP

[slender peak]

right, ill try it then

[tender topaz]

@willow hawk but for example my sprint key is on "x" like in default game!
Is that right?
Or is it usually your keybind-setup?

just asking^^

(when it is a fresh install)

[versed tusk]

thats vanilla Stalker

just change your keybinds

like in any game

[soft cloak]

😉

[versed tusk]

[tender topaz]

I thought he did it automatically.....but okay thanks for answers

[slender peak]

so, i found an AK-74 Beard with the laser sight, but the laser sight not working like it did in Expedition, cant find a keybind for it either

[grizzled raven]

hold L

[slender peak]

missing some addon maybe?

ohhh thanks!

works!

[lament forge]

require assistance

[tidal raft]

Replug your speakers.

[lament forge]

. . .

the internet made this so much more difficult than it had to be

[tidal raft]

Sometimes the solution is simpler than you expect.

[lament forge]

it seems so

[grizzled ferry]

i have no clue why but i cant find any companion

i had two once, which unfortunately got forcefully liberated from higher brainfunctions but since then no more

i searched 3 faction bases over several in game-weeks noones willing to partner up

[austere mortar]

get pda addon and hire some xd

[deft escarp]

I think the game looks too bright since I updated it. Especially interiors. Any idea what that might be?

I checked my light settings, they're on 1, 1, 1 as they should be.

[tidal raft]

Dabble with the Dynamic Tonemap settings in MCM.

[deft escarp]

I'll have a go

[austere mortar]

didnt gamma change something about hiring companions? for free i mean

[tidal raft]

Maybe. I don't remember, nor do I care since I personally don't use companions anyway.

[deft escarp]

Awful lot of settings in there... any particular one you can suggest?

I'm not good with this type of thing

[tidal raft]

Nope. Haven't used Tonemap in a long time.
In worst case try asking the people in #╟🎑reshades, they're proficient in most visual stuff.

[slender peak]

wew last time i take an escort mission into truck cemetary lol, felt like something was fishy with it

ambushed by 2 chimeras, barely survived but wiped out the entire party

[rain wren]

Problem with trader inventory, can't click on any item

Also item info doesn't show at all

I am clicking on the items in this video

[tender topaz]

can i change my game settings and mcm settings or mess it things up?

[willow hawk]

save reload

[rain wren]

nvm it works now

[tender topaz]

i know i should not change fov and hud fov

[rain wren]

for some reason

didn't even need to

[willow hawk]

if you have any issue, save reload works. Keep in mind the game don't like alt tabbing

[rain wren]

Does screen settings change that

?

[viscid zephyr]

I have a quick question, I've seen people play with mags redux ad know it's in the modlist but if I turn it on would it still be considered vanilla gamma, I still want to get help if I have a problem

[willow hawk]

it's "fine" yes

[rain wren]

What happens if a trader gets killed?

[willow hawk]

his inventory is wiped

[rain wren]

Does he respawn?

[viscid zephyr]

Thanks for the answer!

[willow hawk]

nope

[rain wren]

So, if a trader dies, there is no replacement?

[willow hawk]

it's rare that they die, but they can. There's a guide to respawn them using in game debug commands 😉

[rain wren]

Yes, for example them getting shot in the face point-blank by a over under shotgun

Somehow the faction didn't become hostile from that

Is it alright to turn on actor shadows?

[willow hawk]

it's fine but it's honestly not working very very well

[rain wren]

Guessing the visible body is the main source of problems?

[austere mortar]

did i already ask if u tried to change gboobs to not make hit power 0 but instead return with flag false? that shouldnt kill anyone

[grizzled raven]

most of them are the "trader" faction

which is neutral to everyone

and not actually part of any faction so

[rain wren]

So, traders don't fight?

[grizzled raven]

they dont

sakharov will though

[austere mortar]

try to make the traders blacklist again, add 4th argument idk t for example to on_before_hit,

if blacklist[npc:section()] then
  t.ret_value = false
  return
end

should prevent traders from dying

[willow hawk]

hum true

[austere mortar]

setting hit power probably wont work

[willow hawk]

but you don't want to make them immune to the player

[austere mortar]

why, in anomaly they are, arent they?

[willow hawk]

the problem is that gamma has many other people made "traders"

[austere mortar]

add only important ones to blacklist, i think he was talking about important traders dying

[soft cloak]

these puddles are so sick

[arctic urchin]

Hey! Anyone who expierenced often crashes in cave dungeons like the brain thingy on yantar? My game runs good with little crashes. But in caves it crashes very often. Anyone who experienced the same? Cant seem to find the lastest crashlog though.

[versed tusk]

when did you last update?

[arctic urchin]

never lmao. Installed it a week ago i think

ill run a quick update

updated it. Ill hop in and see if it crashes again

[rain wren]

hey

is it normal for renegade bodies to stretch?

Like all limbs get stretched for 10 meters

Also game crashed, is it supposed to crash often?

[willow hawk]

You can thank Tab for them

based modder

[willow hawk]

vanilla issue, can happen

[rain wren]

In my first ever encounter

just my luck i guess

Also

My main screen is now black

The window won't close

Christ

Why would you make limited saves default when the game is such a broken mess?

[willow hawk]

Works on my machine

[rain wren]

:^)

[willow hawk]

You just have bad luck

NPCs very rarely stretch

Now keep in mind the game doesn’t like alt tabbing

[willow hawk]

Disable YACS in the MO2 to save when you want

Or open the console and type ‘save whateveryouwant’

[rain wren]

Jesus

It just crashed again

[dense ridge]

If I am testing performance between AVX and non-AVX do I need to be clearing shaders each time or anything of the sort?

[versed tusk]

nah, not needed iirc

[bright flower]

Yo guys, how can I disable GAMMA Unjam Reload? Need it to enable Mags Redux, which I believe, is an addon for weapon mags?

In the MCM or via MO2? If the second one, how is it called? Can't find it by the name

[willow hawk]

Search Unjam

[bright flower]

This one, yes?

[willow hawk]

It’s GAMMA Unjam and Reload on the same key iirc

Yea

[bright flower]

Thank you ❤️

[willow hawk]

Don’t forget to rebind your keys !!

💚

@bright flower

[bright flower]

Doing so right now, thanks!

[dense ridge]

@versed tusk Copy, thanks 🙂

[bright flower]

Again, can't find it xd Which option is that?

Still getting used to the MCM

[willow hawk]

option > keybinds > Reload to R, Unjam to whatever

it's not in the MCM

yes keys are spread between the two it's a bit chaotic

[bright flower]

Okay, got it. Thanks again!

It's impossible to make both of those compatible, as for now, I guess?

I mean, this fix + mags?

[little vault]

hi, i have a constant blackscreen while in game but i can see the minimap and hear sounds and move around, i have tried fixing it with cfg_load grading_warm command but it's not working how can i fix this?

[bright flower]

Oh, nevermind. I see that it's just the new feature, R for unjam.

[graceful iron]

!blackscreen

[raw raft]

Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[graceful iron]

!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.

[little vault]

this didn't fix it

[graceful iron]

you launched the game through mo2 ?

the shortcut on desktop

[royal sorrel]

I just updated my game and now I can’t get the game to launch? I did a complete instal and deleted all mods in folder before hand and still can’t get game to open please help

[graceful iron]

post the crash log

[little vault]

yes

[royal sorrel]

So confused conflicting with Nahimic i think?

[graceful iron]

where are anomaly and gamma installed exactly ? its recommended that you dont use any overlays with mo2, they cause performance issues.
post your crash log, its in anomaly/appdata/logs

[dusty flicker]

new playthrough but my grass looks kinda funky like its half ivisible or something any way i can fix this?

[versed tusk]

aug 9 - seems like you are missing files

AUGmented pack

[graceful iron]

!missingmods

[raw raft]

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

Quick explanation about WHY you're missing mods/files:

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

[rain wren]

Where can i find a place to store my shit?

[graceful iron]

in any existing stash in the world or you can buy and place backpacks and other types of stashes

[normal python]

I'm experiencing freezes periodically, for seconds at a time. Anyone else had this issue?

[rain wren]

So, not any container I find? Is there a way to mark it on the map?

[versed tusk]

you can also craft your own boxes as soon as you have basic tools

backpacks are marked

others not

[rain wren]

Ok, so use backpacks

[versed tusk]

not rly

they have a 70kg limit

crafted boxes stash 400kg

[rain wren]

They don't despawn right?

[versed tusk]

nope

and no one steals

[versed tusk]

go to your MO2 > search bar > stutter > tick it on

[normal python]

I'm not sure it really counts as stuttering though. It's more like long freezes then it smooths out. What exactly does that mod do?

[versed tusk]

you can also try all these:

!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. Enable 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
6. If you have a beefy GPU, use Anomaly (DX11)

[versed tusk]

and the stutter addon changes ALife calculations

biggest offender for stutters/freezes

also huge stashes can cause it

[normal python]

I'll give it a go, cheers

[rain wren]

is there a list of things to always carry on your person?

[willow hawk]

did you change texture pack ?

[willow hawk]

use backpacks or craft hideout stuff or use any stash

[rain wren]

Yeah, i noticed there's keybinds in mcm for placing stuff

Did someone add building to the game?

[dusty flicker]

i dont think i did anything like that @willow hawk

[willow hawk]

playing DX8 ?

[versed tusk]

hideout stuff

[willow hawk]

chests, workbenches, etc

[dusty flicker]

no im pretty sure im on dx11

[willow hawk]

did you touch graphics settings ?

[dusty flicker]

yeah alot i got it looking somewhat better by uping the density but it looks kinda floaty

[bright flower]

Hello once again! Messing with keybinds now to make it more comfortable for myself: where can I find the toggle scope keybind? In the options -> keybinds there is only option for suppressor.

[versed tusk]

in mcm

[willow hawk]

what's your rig ?

[versed tusk]

keybinds for mods are in there

so either settings > keybinds or mcm > keybinds

[dusty flicker]

like my pc specs

[willow hawk]

be sure to backup your stuff before doing an update etc

!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

[willow hawk]

yes

[subtle quail]

what do u ppl think about front end web development

[bright flower]

Well, already done changes xd but got no problems so far

[dusty flicker]

i got a ryzen 7 3700x 2060 super with 16gb of ram

[willow hawk]

#╟❓general-offtopic

[bright flower]

scope toggle would be perfect under ALT, but have to get unjam there

[willow hawk]

then vanilla settings should be good for you mate

[willow hawk]

scope toggle isn't that useful

cause you got V and alt aim scopes

like Scope > iron sight switches

[graceful iron]

why why this channel?

[subtle quail]

cuz im pepega

[bright flower]

Fair enough, got it!

[dusky dagger]

Noob question how do i perform a fresh install after a dirty one? Can i simply just delete everything in C/Anomaly and C/Gamma? does it leave any leftovers at appdata or something?

[versed tusk]

Anomaly can just be deleted if you rly need to - then re-extract fresh with 7zip

but best bet is to do this:

!delete

[raw raft]

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

[brave hemlock]

Hey folks, I noticed a new mod: npcs not seeing through foliage. How well does it work?

[willow hawk]

don't delete gamma folder

that downloads folder is worth more than you think in these trying times #📢announcements

[versed tusk]

i wouldnt use it, it can destroy npc pathing

[brave hemlock]

and what about unlimited stash weight? I never knew it was limited... Well, to be honest, I never used stashes outside of bases.

[willow hawk]

makes you able to cheese the game

[brave hemlock]

heh 🙂

[willow hawk]

it's a matter of taste

unlimited stashes makes hideout crafts useless

[brave hemlock]

I find it really annoying that npcs can see you when you can't see them. It's super annoying especially at the Monolith base near the Brain Scorcher.

super annoying

there are a lot of trees and bushes

[rain wren]

The early clear sky quest where u assault the entrance to kordon is from this mod right?

[brave hemlock]

yes

[dusky dagger]

I will check that out @versed tusk thanks
The problem is that i forgot to update anomaly to 1.5.2 before installing gamma and now apparently i might also forgot to install the boomstick mod manually too since it was crashing at the start and the error log showed "ak74_switchtch" missing and by looking it up here someone had the same problem b4...also only showed 332 mods on MO2 so it must be it...thought about just restarting the whole thing again to avoid conflicts@willow hawk so if its possible to update to 1.5.2 and adding the missing mod while still keeping everything it would be even better

[willow hawk]

!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 G.A.M.M.A. data -> Full G.A.M.M.A. Installation

[brave hemlock]

I tried updating to 152 and keeping the mods. Didn't work for me, so I'm reinstalling all the mods

[willow hawk]

!full

[raw raft]

A Full Install does NOT remove saves, nor does it mean you are redownloading everything. A full install will simply check every mod in the pack, and any that need to be updated will be updated.

[boreal mountain]

I noticed that I lose about 10 frames if I enable "turn this on if you have stutter" option. Do I need to report this to somewhere or is it a known thing ?

[brave hemlock]

ye, I know, I did the full install and it still just crashes, so I'm deleting all of them and reinstalling from scratch

[willow hawk]

well, it comes at a price

don't turn it on if you don't stutter

[rain wren]

One of the ambient soundtracks is just loud popping

[willow hawk]

it's not a "one size fits all"

[boreal mountain]

yea no I was just testing no problem

I thought maybe I should tell someone about it

For some reason my game runs perfect without tuning

Lucky I guess

[brave hemlock]

mine is perfect too, normally

I think that may be for some special hardware or something

[gilded crater]

Mine also looks like an empty wasteland

[brave hemlock]

nice. less foliage

[gilded crater]

this is maxed out graphics, can't go higher, 14:00 / clear1, only grass is medium

same settings vanilla

[subtle quail]

water in my game started to look like this, i deleted cashe manually and restarted game few times, still presists

[gilded crater]

any ideas which mod causes this issue?

[subtle quail]

and if i turn "soft water" off it looks purple

[versed tusk]

welcome to the dead zone

go to #🤖bot-commands and type !deadzone

[dusty flicker]

yea still dont know whats wrong with it my grass looks like it floating off the ground

[slender peak]

so are the PK-A sights only sold in Rostok and Clear Sky base like in Expedition/vanilla?

its my fav and i want it

[versed tusk]

there are WP and NATO traders depending on what the faction uses

[slender peak]

right, maybe bandits have them then

not that far up in reputation yet

[versed tusk]

it will also take lvl2 or 3 for some scopes

[willow hawk]

that's how the game is supposed to be like

[willow hawk]

you are just focusing on a very specific angle

[solemn cargo]

does the game have to be unzipped with 7zip, a friend of mine is getting an error with his 7zip with windows 11 and we have no clue how to fix it, so if possible i'd like to have him install winrar and use that instead

sorry, I should clarify that this is for the base anomaly game, not for gamma

didnt know where else to ask

[willow hawk]

read #old-how-to

yes you need 7z

[solemn cargo]

Okay thanks, i'll figure something out for him

[north turret]

hello whlile im playing game keep changing my fov and mouse sens how can i fix it

[willow hawk]

a patch will come

save reload

set your fov to what you want

it's the priority of the next patch 😉

with new Ash12 animations and many fixes

[north turret]

okay thank you so much ❤️

[slender peak]

works with pre-existing saves?

[willow hawk]

of course not

[gray cloud]

hello im back but ive reset my mod list so it should be vanilla mod list but now im crashing upon start up.

[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.

[stable stag]

Tell them to wait at the entrance?

I think you can do it without the boys, but you need Strelok

[wooden prawn]

What is the Night Vision Mod/s this mod pack uses?

[shadow sapphire]

Beefs NVG

[wooden prawn]

Thank you

[past wolf]

how does one quicksave?

[shadow sapphire]

F5 near a campfire or in a friendly base

[past wolf]

TY

[slender peak]

its ridiculous the game has no spawn protection from mutants, 100% of the time i take a guide to cordon i spawn along with at least 2 packs of dogs /pseudodogs

same goes with many area transitions

and by spawn protection i mean, no fucking mutants spawning with you or near you

no godmode

[shadow sapphire]

Yeah, we attempted a mod to fix, and it started deleting NPCs. Ill probably take another look at it eventually. But we do agree with you. @rare sluice was kind enough to write it, so that on load you were safe for like 70m, but xray told us all to get fucked.

[slender peak]

ah, great, thatd change the experience quite a lot

especially that nasty dead city > yantar route

hope you luck with it!

or maybe, surround the spawn points with anomalies so the doggies get torn up by them immediately? <:)

but having now played this a lot more and having gone past most early game hurdles, this modpack is some of the best shit ive seen

[shadow sapphire]

Thanks. Yeah we would love to get it working, but Xray is always problematic. I mean tbh the anomaly vanilla safe spawn crap gets ignored too XD

[slender peak]

has all the modern AAA titles beat

yeahh XRAY is funny, but revolutionary in a way

[shadow sapphire]

What dark wrote should do the job, but xray is an angry child sometimes

[slender peak]

yeah, we can thank it for a lot though, like the AI system

while not perfect, its what makes the game

[willow hawk]

There was an attempt but it led to unwanted issues

[slender peak]

yeah, its such an obvious issue to fix, ofc it had to have been attempted, oh well, good luck with it!

[true turret]

need help with companion , he is kinda lost but it says he is near me but hasnt got green bar but grey one like he is offline or sumthin where i tp it shows him like 20m away from there but he isnt there

[inner ivy]

What is Psy Network mod?

[stable stag]

Grey health implies they're in a different zone/map

[true turret]

But it doesnt show em anywhere

and says 20m away in every zone

i go to

can i debug them or smthing

or abandon em in a way

[stable stag]

Uhhh, I'm not sure. Tbh I haven't used companions in a long time. I think fast travelling might teleport them to your destination(?)

[true turret]

ye i do fast travel but still doesnt get him back to me :/

[slender peak]

is there a way to tweak camera distance with ADS?

how close the camera is to the sights it gives me tunnel vision

like some .ini file or something maybe?

[crude oyster]

the actual fov? or just the position of the weapon

fov can move it with adjustments but there is also the hud position tool in debug

IIRC 1.5.2 fixed it crashing when you tried to save values for it from there so it should be more useful now

[shadow sapphire]

You have to reposition the weapon honestly for that.

[slender peak]

ah, its ok then

thanks

[glad wharf]

My Psy damage fılter and ammo count dıssepeared from left bottom screen any clue?

[shadow sapphire]

Numpad Enter

[glad wharf]

Thanks i tried that but it didnt worked out now i just feel stupid it worked

[shadow sapphire]

Haha no worries. Probably just xray ignorning you for a moment.

[austere crane]

this might be a dumb question but... how do I launch GAMMA? do I just launch Anomaly like normal from its directory? I can't find like a GAMMA launcher program. I might just be dumb but this didn't seem to be part of the install instructions and when I launch Anomaly normally I don't get that GAMMA main menu on startup which makes me think I've done something wrong.

[brisk zinc]

!shortcut

[raw raft]

The installer didn't create a shortcut for G.A.M.M.A.: #╭📖faq message

[radiant stirrup]

should be a button on your desktop. you launch gamma's version of mo2

[versed tusk]

MO2 > run

[tribal lark]

hey, quesstion, maybe a dumb question but shader based scopes kill my framerate due to my potato pc. if i disable the 2 mods does it hurt the game?

[austere crane]

alright that's cool... I've got that working now, but new problem, the game just crashes after I hit "play stalker anomaly" in the launcher and it loads for a minute.... maybe I installed something wrong... gotta figure that out

[shadow sapphire]

Follow this

!dx8

[raw raft]

If you're playing (or if you want to play) with DX8, you'll need to do something first (this also applies to NVG): #╭📖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.

[tribal lark]

i mean yeah i have everything that's on the dx8 section

but as an example, the kit-upgraded ak5c has a shader scope, and that's whats killing my framerate

[oak vine]

the ground is shimering quite a lot. I read theres an easy thing to do, but i cant find it

[tribal lark]

nv's?

[oak vine]

at day

[shadow sapphire]

Oh thats not a shader scope. Thats a PIP scope, and it sucks. It wrecks my frames and I have a beefy pc. I would not ever use it. And I sincerly hope the new BaS doesnt have them.

[shadow sapphire]

!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.

[tribal lark]

goddamit, alright, thanks

[versed tusk]

PiP is Picture in Picture - so it renders 2 images at once - xray struggles with 1

for now, toss them

[radiant stirrup]

genuine shame as well because pip optics are beautiful

[drowsy sand]

sorry to bother(im about to ask a probably stupid question), but do i need to buy a stalker game off steam i was a bit confused with the install instructions. if not then i assume anomaly 1.5.1 and .2 are the only things i gotta download when it comes to "getting the game" right? sorry again for asking a question that probably has an answer posted somewhere that i just missed

[shadow sapphire]

You dont need to buy anything, Just download anomaly 1.5.1 and patch to 1.5.2

[drowsy sand]

thanks!

[versed tusk]

i rly dislike them when you have strong recoil and you lose track

[radiant stirrup]

there are 3 games. you don't need to buy them. you should however as they have great stories that aren't in anom (or gamma)

[radiant stirrup]

but they look pretty

[versed tusk]

function over form for me

[radiant stirrup]

going though ||lab X19|| be like

[shadow sapphire]

Jesus, we might need to turn down grenade drop chance again XD

[radiant stirrup]

16kg all of that

[slender peak]

ok for disguises, do i need the faction specific headgear also? Ive been trying to infiltrate the clear sky base since i ran out of provisions in the swamp, i have freedom suit in 100% condition and attached a freedom patch, no weapon in hand, no running or jumping, no going near people, still get shot on sight

i must be doing something wrong

[radiant stirrup]

have a look at the disguise settings to see what things effect it. head gear guns and movement are all things you can toggle

[slender peak]

ah, gotcha

[thin geode]

I just booted up the game for the first time, made a new game and after the load screen, the game just crashed

Any help?

[slender peak]

yeah headgear is kinda nebulous since factions keep sharing the same gas masks, which i also use

[versed tusk]

!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.

[radiant stirrup]

keeps crashing or just the once?

[subtle quail]

which ad dons affect water? i want vanilla water because it is glitching out

[thin geode]

kept crashing, tried loading the said game and it was faster but crashed againç

lemme check the log

[radiant stirrup]

screen space shader by ascii

reinstall and untick, or remove

[subtle quail]

already off, but ill try k

[shadow sapphire]

Moddb got you. Run Installer as Admin - Full GAMMA Install (NO IT WONT DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING AGAIN) just the broken/missing ones

!full

[raw raft]

A Full Install does NOT remove saves, nor does it mean you are redownloading everything. A full install will simply check every mod in the pack, and any that need to be updated will be updated.

[shadow sapphire]

!moddb

[raw raft]

ModDB is currently struggling to keep up with download demand. If your installer is running but showing errors, wait for it to finish. Unfortunately we have no ability to address the issue. Errors in the installer for now are normal when downloading, slow download speeds should be expected.

[thin geode]

ahh i see

like, there were mods i didnt download?

[radiant stirrup]

reinstall the mod in mo2, sounds stupid but it will give you the option of turning it off. then clear cache (delete the folder don't use the button)

[shadow sapphire]

Not you, but the installer got told no by moddb.

[lean meteor]

The quest sample artefact seems to not have spawned (no visual, no detector signal, no popup when holding pickup key). Any advice on that or just screw it and try another in-game week ?

[slender peak]

nope, still get shot on sight, even when disabling helmet, weapon, etc, and reducing the detection factors down near to zero

and these are just rookie clear sky people

[radiant stirrup]

its in the burning house attic

[versed tusk]

its further south

[shadow sapphire]

2 Story Building Yellow, Second floor

[slender peak]

clearly my disguise itself is not working, is there a way to specifically know which patch you attach?

[lean meteor]

Oh thank you, all of you comrades!

[slender peak]

it gave me a warning about a torn patch and i removed and attached again then it gave no warning

[radiant stirrup]

patch will always be the amours faction

[slender peak]

ok, maybe the clear sky just hates freedom?

[subtle quail]

could this mod affect my game while being ticked off in Mo2?

[slender peak]

or system is borken

like it has been always before i tried this mod

[subtle quail]

i removed it

[radiant stirrup]

yeah, once installed its a pain to remove. check out #old-framerate-optimisation for the full guide. it details how to remove it

[shadow sapphire]

Works fine for me. Screenshot your disguise settings please. And inventory.

[radiant stirrup]

once you attach the patch it will come up with text, what does it say?

[slender peak]

sure let me try it with everything down to 0 and disabled except the main component

before

[radiant stirrup]

try what i said first

redoing the settings will be a pain

[slender peak]

they still shoot me on sight, everything turned off or to 0

except the disguise system itself

[radiant stirrup]

what did the text say?

[slender peak]

inventory

its a whole lot of crap

sure let me do it now

theres no text pop up but this is what the armor looks like

with the patch on

i tried removing and re-equipping the armor also

[radiant stirrup]

if your too close to people, have companions or have killed CS before while in disguise it won't work

[slender peak]

oh so it must be my companion then

can i just leave him in a bush somewhere?

rather not get rid of him hes my pack mule

[radiant stirrup]

your companion can see you change. tell him to wait and run off before putting the patch on

[slender peak]

right, thanks, ill try that

yeah that seems to have fixed it, kinda weird your companion rats you out lol

thanks a lot

[subtle quail]

ok i removed that mod completley, and the bug was still there, i ticked off "Shader cuumulative pack for Gamma" in 224 that was on by deafult and now its fixed!

[radiant stirrup]

Odd, but nice job!

[shadow sapphire]

!bas

[raw raft]

If you are Currently in the install process, OR you are needing to do a full Install due to the fact that you are missing mods. BaS (Boomsticks and Sharpsticks) was just updated by Mich. We will update GAMAM ASAP, and Grok will make a post in #📢announcements when the new update is ready. Until then, you at best will have a buggy experience, but may suffer crash on load. Apologies for the delay.

[tiny matrix]

dunno why this is happening, but whenever i smoke the cig just stays like this

[celest peak]

Good day, could someone please explain to me why the following might be happening? On a shotgun, 2 bullets. It fires only one, and registers only 1 bullet leaving the chamber. I cannot shoot the second one, acting as the gun is empty. I reload the gun. First reload is not registered. Second reload bring the gun back to 2 bullets in the chamber. If I spam reload 2 times, the gun reloads 2 times, however I can only fire 1 bullet every time. Is this to do with weapon durability, or bug?

[atomic smelt]

Same problem

[radiant stirrup]

is the gun fucked? or good condition?

[shadow sapphire]

Turn off Roadsides Lens Flare

[radiant stirrup]

currently have the ACH-7EX what would be a good upgrade to keep an eye out for? I don't think i seen a better combat helm yet

[rain wren]

Is there a button to inspect your gun?

[celest peak]

really fcked

[radiant stirrup]

its jamming then. you need to find a newer one or repair it. if its below 60% and your still early just dump it

[celest peak]

Thank you. im sure you are right. tested it with smth with more bullets in a chamber and need to reload every other sec. to fix it

thank you for clarifying

[wooden prawn]

I'm curious, what does Gamma do better than EFP and vise versa?

[radiant stirrup]

if EFP is all about guns, gamma is anom+

[versed tusk]

thats a long answer

EFP is mostly focused on gunplay

Gamma overhauls pretty much every aspect of Anomaly

is as condensed as i can say

[graceful cosmos]

Quick question; if a defensive stat, for example Ballistic, is maxed in the character sheet does adding upgrades/attachments that increase that stat scale or are they capped?

[wooden prawn]

I am just comparing the two and decide which I would rather play through next. I have played EFP in the past and enjoyed it. Gamma really intrigues me though from what I've read and seen. One aspect of EFP I like that Gamma seems to not have is the ammo/inventory managment. I know weird lol

[wooden prawn]

Any good videos or mod lists I can read/watch that give a break down?

[radiant stirrup]

gamma can have mags if that's what your talking about? cheeky breeki on youtube is what i watched

[wooden prawn]

Yeah I kinda like that. Is it part of the mod list or something I have to add separately?

[versed tusk]

it is in MO2, but off by default

[radiant stirrup]

gamma comes with mods tuned off by default. you can turn them on and stry from vanilla if you wish

[wooden prawn]

Okay nice
