Thank you kindly!

[bright flower]

So it's all working. Thank you for your time

Now, sleep, because it's quite late in my timezone xd

Have a great day/night/evening/else!

[vagrant umbra]

Okay, need some help, so I just finished installing all the files and im not seeing them in the MO2 and when i try to launch GAMMA through the desktop icon it takes me to my file explorer for some reason.

[solid spire]

Btw make sure to follow the bottom part too, enhanced shaders are enabled. Change it in the user.ltx though, not the console, then clear your shaders cache again. Your game should look like in the mod’s screenshots.

Night though

[crude fulcrum]

keep getting Microstutters no matter how much i tinker with settings idk why. Dont have a bad rig. 3700x and rx6800. Stutter setting in modlist is checked

[split musk]

"technically" more than 60GB but I found out why

[bright flower]

Why so? 😮

[bright flower]

Thank you once again!

[solid spire]

!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)

[split musk]

forgot about the space that the base game takes up

[dull nymph]

Any clue why my ACOG looks this way?

rest of the game looks fine, but this sight has this strange tint

[versed tusk]

!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.

[dull nymph]

For comparison

Cheers thank you

[tacit flicker]

Game is either entirely black, or looks like this. Any idea how to fix it? I tried to delete shader cache to see if that'd fix it but it did nothing.

I've recently installed gamma, however I haven't been able to play it because my game crashes everytime I click new game, and then the loading bar completes, and immediately I am brought back to the desktop

[gritty nymph]

how do you zoom in?

and what is freelook?

thx

[graceful iron]

post your crash log

!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.

[graceful iron]

the free zoom button is configurable in the mcm, and free look allows you to look around without changing the direction of the "gun" or the character

[graceful iron]

!move

[raw raft]

KEEP IN MIND AND REMEMBER THAT USING THE FOLLOWING FOLDERS ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR ANOMALY AND GAMMA, DON'T USE THEM.
Desktop, Downloads, Documents One Drive, Documents, Program Files/Program Files x86
DON'T. USE. THEM. DON'T.

Moving G.A.M.M.A.:

1. Open your GAMMA folder and ONLY delete the mods folder you'll find inside.Leave the rest untouched, you don't need to delete anything else
2. Move your GAMMA folder to the new location
3. Run the installer as admin, click on Update G.A.M.M.A. data and then on Full G.A.M.M.A. installation.

Moving Anomaly:

1. Move the folder to the new location
2. Open MO2
3. Click on the green and blue gears icon to manually edit the new .exe paths of your Anomaly folder

[graceful iron]

!bas

[raw raft]

1. Download the old BaS version:
   Mirror 1: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19ttcqQ-iAxgmeZ0ufjYc2XEOb5y-T1lH/view?usp=sharing
   Mirror 2 (only if first mirror is down): https://mega.nz/file/2JFXQAhR#ZPV7LkKuWba60Kkfjf1lOK0Zx-IqXHLDfeF-zBL7AO0
2. Extract what you downloaded, and copy the "gamedata" folder.
3. Go to GAMMA RC3/Grok's Modpack Installer/GAMMA/modpack_addons and create a new folder exactly named 76- Boomsticks and Sharpsticks - Mich
4. Paste the gamedata folder inside.
5. Go to GAMMA RC3/mods and delete 76- Boomsticks and Sharpsticks - Mich.
6. Launch the gamma installer and press "update gamma data" and then "only install gamma addons".
7. If your issue isn't fixed, press "update gamma data" and "full install" in the installer.

[hazy fiber]

so making a new folder just in my hard drive, standalone, would that work?

[graceful iron]

yes

one for anomaly and one for gamma

[hazy fiber]

okay cool, thank you

[graceful iron]

this one is the fix for the error causing the crash

[digital falcon]

is there a way to build a campfire?

[last solar]

Is it possible to help wounded stalkers with medkits or something? I see there is a "Wounded Assisted" stat in the Statistics page.

[solid spire]

Sometimes when stalkers are really close to dying they'll drop into a fetal position instead

If they're friendly you can interact with them and give them a medkit

Be careful when enemies are in that position though because sometimes they can recover, and the Monolith can pull a sneaky on you.. won't say how though so you find out yourself

[winged ether]

If your starting faction is an enemy of another faction, does gaining reputation with that faction eventually make them no longer hostile to you?

sorry dumb question I'm new to this, how do I enable the debug menu in gamma? I know through the anomaly launcher there is a checkbox for it but gamma uses a different launcher which is why I am asking

[graceful iron]

you cant pay a mechanic to repair the gun, he will only clean the overall condition of the gun while the parts still need repairs themselves which will cause jams and a damaged barrel will decrease the damage you do

this happened during install

any ideas on how to fix?

[fringe slate]

just curious, would it be better to play this game vanilla first or can I just jump in into the modded ? (sorry if its the wrong channel)

[north turret]

If you have already played to "normal" Stalker Games Like SoC,CS and CoP, Go crazy

[rocky urchin]

Go vanilla first

[north turret]

Tbh, Just do what feels best for you. The old games with a Bugfix are still a Lot of fun

[rocky urchin]

Including vanilla anomaly

It's going to be extremely overwhelming otherwise, I feel like GAMMA is for advanced players

[fringe slate]

only game like this i played was chernobylite

[north turret]

Then try Vanilla Stalker first I'd guess

[fringe slate]

All i know is the stalker game are brutal

which I dont mind but ya ill try vanilla with bug fix stuff

[rocky urchin]

They aren't that brutal

[north turret]

Give those Zombies a few headshots and kill some bandits. Monolith is gonna be fun.

[rocky urchin]

But STALKER Anomaly expect your to have played the main games and be familiar with its lore/mechanics. And GAMMA expect you to have played Anomaly and be familiar with it already

[amber kiln]

is this right how it is? https://i.imgur.com/de4EgFZ.png

[fringe slate]

I see I see, well I'll go grab the games on steam or whatever platform it is

and go try them out

thanks for the heads up 🙂

[rocky urchin]

Anomaly has a shitton of features but has no real tutorial so it can be very overwhelming

GAMMA is even more packed

[fringe slate]

anomaly as the regular tutorial right tho ? or is it forced removed due to some mods ?

[rocky urchin]

Anomaly has no tutorial afaik. Beside some easy missions that doesn't explain much if you pick loner and the guides in the PDA

You can directly t ry Anomaly vanilla first but you are going to hit a very steep learning curve

And I wouldn't recommend playing GAMMA before tasting Anomaly vanilla

[fringe slate]

that for sure, its just I dont know which game to start with due to being 3 different

[rocky urchin]

As it force you to use some of its technical features

Shadow of Chernobyl - Clear Sky - Call of Pripyat is the playing order

[fringe slate]

alright thanks alot 🙂

they do be 70% off on steam

[rocky urchin]

I'm not familiar with the mods that could overhaul them tho

Last time I modded tthem was in 2010's and they must have changed quite a lot since

For Call of Pripyat, it's Gunslinger 100% Absolutely awesome mod

[fringe slate]

ill try regular anomaly see how it goes if i dont get it ill just try the other games

[rocky urchin]

If you want to skip the main games (plenty will say it's not ok but honestly they aged quite poorly), watch a tutorial on youtube about Anomaly

There is one that is more than a hour long. It is long but still shorter than playing all 3 games)

[fringe slate]

for sure ahah

[rocky urchin]

Prerequisite is to be familiar with the basic lore at least. It will be very helpful to understand why and how it works.

[fringe slate]

blondefire tutorial ya ?

[rocky urchin]

Yes

[fringe slate]

thanks again 🙂

[rocky urchin]

[regal pewter]

2. Move the 1.5.2 Anomaly Patch zip to the Anomaly folder C:\Anomaly (next to bin, gamedata...), right click the archive, extract here using 7zip, accept files replacement.

what does it mean when it says (next to bin, gamedata...)?

[solid spire]

Inside your anomaly folder, it just means you should put your cursor to the right of bin and game data folders when dragging and dropping

[regal pewter]

oh lol

[frank wyvern]

does the number i choose matter

#📢announcements

[rose plaza]

Are all magazines that you get from enemies SUPPOSED to be empty all the time? What the hell were they shooting at me with?

[graceful iron]

yes. grok added that all guns and mags are automatically empty to lower the micromanagement and to correctly balance the amount of ammo dropping from stalkers

vanilla mags was dropping way too much ammo

[rose plaza]

Alright, I s'pose that makes sense, since stalkers were dropping ammo and then the mags also had ammo in them. Kinda liked the micromanagement part though, would be nice to add an option to have either loose ammo or ammo in the magazines.

Just an idea.

Not everyone is as big a masochist as I am lol.

Not to mention unloading mags gives mag loading skill which makes loading mags faster so it's got a purpose.

[cunning ferry]

bro how i close the uinstaller

[graceful iron]

what? the gamma installer?

[cunning ferry]

yeah

like minimize

you cant minimize it. you can create another desktop by pressing windows+tab

[slender peak]

So you cant craft Expert tools yourself?

[drowsy vale]

how would you go about changing a companions carry weight? tried googling and searching here and came up flat

[solid spire]

I believe there is a mod that tweaks it in MO2? But I’m not sure if it tweaks it to increase the carry weight or decrease

[graceful iron]

no, only advanced can be crafted

[drowsy vale]

yeah I saw this but wasn't sure if it'd increase/decrease

[solid spire]

Oh it’s in disabled

[drowsy vale]

so was curious if there was a file I could edit

[solid spire]

Keep it in disabled then

it was disabled because of some issues and balance

found it nvm thats the file from the disabled mod, back to square one

[umbral canopy]

when the "old" installer downloads new definitions data pack, the correct way is to select install only addons, right?

[real moon]

[solid spire]

Are you following the instructions in #old-how-to-install ? Which step are you on?

[real moon]

7

[proven thorn]

Yeah, should be.

[solid spire]

You should see an error after you click launch mo2, click ok, and then mo2 will open, and it’ll ask you to select a portable instance. Click browse from there (this is what you’re confused on) and then choose the path to your Anomaly folder, select the folder, press ok. Skip tutorial. You can close mo2 and proceed to next step

[real moon]

"the folder anomaly does not seem to contain a game mod organizer can manage"

what this mean

[solid spire]

What are the options? Just ok?

[real moon]

Ok and show details

[wraith forge]

Does the installation supposed to take atleast more than 3 hours? Or is it just because of Moddb's busted servers

[lofty bluff]

why only 332?

does it have better dps including reload time? wish it had 10 round or 8 round mags at least

[umbral canopy]

ah ok! thats right i forgot abut descriptions sorry. Its related to 3D pda i guess. I use 2D pda so its doesnt affect me i think

[quaint iris]

simple mode is better

[quaint iris]

the other one is like using an ipad but ingame with you mouse

[solid spire]

Better damage definitely. Reload time might be the same, definitely much faster if mossberg isn’t magazine fed because Saiga is

[quaint iris]

Mossberg cooler tho

[solid spire]

Nah

That’s subjective

Make him wake up at like 6am. Just constantly be running around, doing stuff, and you’ll definitely get tired by the end

also mossberg needs 1 lesser tier toolkit to repair

[solid spire]

This is nice to know as well if you just want to sleep now but it’s not very sustainable

[solid spire]

Idk man it’s your choice. But statistically, Saiga performs better, it’s higher tier for a reason

[subtle quail]

Saiga reload from empty i jsut tested 5 seconds, mosserbeg 7,5 and its 2 more rounds and u can load it up 1 by 1 to be full at all times

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 (literally inside your Anomaly folder, drag and drop the content of the zip inside the folder)

all limbs are topped off, its my health thats dropping

[brisk zinc]

Yes your health is dropping, I can read

Sometime is the torso, that one if untreated can cause health loss

But you have everything topped

[mystic marsh]

is that body health not tied to the health bar in my inventory?

The only thing that comes to mind is that you got an invisible artefact but this bug IIRC has been already fixed

The paper doll is connected to the health bar in your inventory

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.

mod organizer is not set up to handle nxm links. I don't know what this means, what should I choose if it even matters?

[raven sparrow]

just ignore I guess, I

*ve never seen that prompt

nxm maybe is nexus modsite? Maybe something for skyrim mods

I dont think its needed for gamma

[dark gull]

doesnt matter, gamma doesnt use mods from nexus mods, only moddb and github afaik

[little bronze]

Ive installed 1.5.2, followed all the steps and im still getting the same error

[raven sparrow]

You need to reinstall Gamma after updating to 1.52 if you havnt done so.

[little bronze]

Already done that, i downloaded the game update, extracted and overrode everything, ran the installer and did a full GAMMA install

[versed tusk]

post the log

!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.

[raven sparrow]

How many active mods do you have in mod organizer? What exe have you set for mo2 to use?

[little bronze]

333

[radiant stirrup]

thats not the log 🙂

[raven sparrow]

find log in anomaly/appdata I think

Someone who knows more than me can maybe make something out of it

[versed tusk]

follow. the. guide. i. sent.

[little bronze]

yeah im on that now

[versed tusk]

your Anomaly is on 151

you ned 152

!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 (literally inside your Anomaly folder, drag and drop the content of the zip inside the 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

[little bronze]

ive already followed these steps to the T, twice acctualy

[radiant stirrup]

you must be messing something up man. others have followed this successfully

[little bronze]

Ill try it again from scratch

[radiant stirrup]

just to check, do you know what the root of the folder is?

[versed tusk]

use 7zip - extract Anomaly into a folder > then unzip the update into the same folder

overwrite when asked

dont create a new folder inside anomaly root

[little bronze]

ive been dragging the ZIP folder into my anomoly folder and extracting there

then overwriting when it says so

[radiant stirrup]

thats fine, if it doesn't make a folder. but for now just open the zip and drag the files into the folder

[versed tusk]

and i just go by the logs - and yours clearly prints Anomaly 151

[nimble oxide]

my game gets more and more unplayable, the longer the playtrough. is it known what this is caused by? can i do anything against it?

1/2 the fps i had once, load times 5x higher and a looot more stutters

[radiant stirrup]

too much loot in containers?

[nimble oxide]

ohhh no

im a loot XXXXX

does it help if i split it in multiple stashes?

[radiant stirrup]

I heard; not tested myself, that if you split your loot into lots of stashes it improves the frame rate. try splitting them into a stash per inv tab

[nimble oxide]

will do, thanks

[versed tusk]

the game doesnt like having huge item stacks - it load them all at once when coming close and opening a box

you can also try deactivating the sorting mod - that helps too

but i run best with making a box for each category - even workbenches for each type of craft

[radiant stirrup]

have you tried the mod in disabled that claims to combine stacks of items? I turned it on to test but it seemed to do nothing

[nimble oxide]

my stash is a little under a ton

i assume that is a lot 😄

[radiant stirrup]

yeah I have the same, but i also have the same issue as you haha

[versed tusk]

we dont have unlimited weight for a reason - one: to make you craft hideout furniture & two: separate huge stashes into smaller ones

[subtle quail]

Jesus Christ what you gonna do with a ton of trash stalker

[versed tusk]

i think all my stuff combined is well over a ton

[subtle quail]

split shit into different stashes, weapons and armours

[nimble oxide]

i like loot

gimme all of it

i will walk multiple times

even if it is trash

[subtle quail]

sweet sweet trash https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HlFKfSS410

[radiant stirrup]

I've been meaning to move my stuff to meadows as a test as its the smallest least hostile map. plus, no reason to go there really otherwise to see it that will improve frame rate

[past merlin]

Does GAMMA have "dux's innumerable character kit"?

[versed tusk]

yes

and its honestly the better choice

[nimble oxide]

didnt make as much of a difference as i would have hoped, but helped a bit

[past merlin]

i personally prefer HD Models, but DICK is the best choice for the modpack

[versed tusk]

dont say that loud

[warm flume]

hello guys i wanted to ask if anyone else has issues with activating mods

[past merlin]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/KpXsfimrkFo

[versed tusk]

whats the problem?

[warm flume]

i tried installing and using jsgme but it doesnt load the mods for some reason even after activating and deactivating mods

[versed tusk]

...

[warm flume]

okay so im relatively new to stlaker

[versed tusk]

why are you using jsgme

[warm flume]

so im not too familiar to how modding this game works

[warm flume]

cause i watced a vid on how to mod

and the guy said thats the way to go xD

[versed tusk]

so

you want to play Gamma, correct?

[warm flume]

yes

[versed tusk]

#old-how-to-install

nothing else

[radiant stirrup]

[versed tusk]

no videos., no pepega advice

just follow that guide

[warm flume]

alr alr

i thought u might have to do smn with moving files again since i tried that with gamedata and it only loads one mod so

ye

[versed tusk]

whoever told you that is either trolling you or knows jack shit - sorry to say

[warm flume]

i just searched it up on yt and he said move gamedata folder or use jsgme lol

so i should remove jsgme then?

[radiant stirrup]

i think your mixing up modding and mod packs. gamma is a mod pack, you don't need to do any 'modding'

[versed tusk]

nah fam, Gamma comes with its own installer and does everything for you

[warm flume]

oh thank god thats nice

the 2.2 gb torrent file is the installer ?

[radiant stirrup]

link is in #old-how-to-install

[versed tusk]

#old-how-to-install follow that - you will load Anomaly and then Gamma

[warm flume]

alr i apprechiate the help

ty

[versed tusk]

if you run into troubles - make a thread in #1025143518978650122

we'll help there

[warm flume]

thanks a bunch

sry for asking dumb shit i just got confused with how modding works then got a video talking about this modpack n stuff

and here i am now after watching 2 mins on the video

[rose nebula]

hi guys, how do i open the map?:

[radiant stirrup]

tab

[rose nebula]

theres no keybinds that i can see

do i need some sort of device to do that?

[radiant stirrup]

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[rose nebula]

ty so much

[radiant stirrup]

you need the pda in its slot. open inv with 'I' then double click on the pda

[subtle quail]

Are vanilla settings for Dynamic anomalies intended by Grok? Whats his advice, and on artifacts

[radiant stirrup]

for getting them?

[rose nebula]

ty i didnt bring a pda i think when i created my character

ill redo it.

[radiant stirrup]

everyone gets one by default

looks like a smartphone on an angle

[versed tusk]

huh? everything is with intention, yes.

and artefacts are reworked as well

#│📚manual has its own section for artis

[rose nebula]

sir can u show me what i need that is very essential for rookies?

i dont know what would i get

[radiant stirrup]

could you elaborate a bit? you want a general guide for what to do and how to progress?

ah

[rose nebula]

for survival

essential things that i need for my loadout

[radiant stirrup]

what faction are you playing as?

[raven sparrow]

I get this twinkling black bar over the new light sources, I read in something about issues with double light sources in #📢announcements but is this an issue I can fix via some setting or is it something that has to be patched? Btw, Game looks better now after the recent updates, great job.

[radiant stirrup]

it changes what you can get

[rose nebula]

the yellow one

[radiant stirrup]

loner?

[rose nebula]

yellow radiation logo

i cant see what faction it is

[radiant stirrup]

yep okay loner, do you have any experience with stalker before this?

[rose nebula]

no sir, but i have played dayz

ive wanted to play this game cuz it really looks interesting

[raven sparrow]

medkits, yandulin, armor, gasmask.

Whatever else you can afford

also pistol

[rose nebula]

1 pistol only?

[raven sparrow]

depends on your difficulty setting

How many points you have to spend

[rose nebula]

i play rookie settings

[raven sparrow]

I started with russian 45 and did well

okay, then get something nice like a rifle

[silk maple]

I can't understand for the life of me whether I'm meant to extract GAMMA to the folder i created for it or the root folder on it's own, the guide says to create a gamma folder yet everything is extracted to either C:/Anomaly or just C:/

[raven sparrow]

no point getting an smg and pistol in same caliber, double check that

@silk maple a new folder

some anomaly goes in C/anomaly and gamma goes in C/gamma

so*

[radiant stirrup]

I would take these

[silk maple]

Cheers, might wanna update the guide with that

[rose nebula]

i cant afford the armor

[raven sparrow]

armor needed 100%

and mask

[rose nebula]

ok ty ty

[versed tusk]

as you are the first to ask, it should be fine

[rose nebula]

i will get this instead

[radiant stirrup]

mask is needed, amour can be avoided for now

[raven sparrow]

armor is nice if you are a rookie

[rose nebula]

i want to be like ninja lol, i will stay away from enemies and try to pick em of 1by1

[silk maple]

Just being the idiot i've always been, sorry lol

[radiant stirrup]

you should hunt mutants and bandits only for a bit

[raven sparrow]

Also #1 enemy is radiaiton patches, keep an eye on your radiation meter at all times. Avoid running until you know a safe path

you can get like 100% radiation in 5sec in the bad spots, it'll murder you

[radiant stirrup]

these should be your setting btw. don't use anything else for now

[versed tusk]

just pulling yer leg mate - thanks for the feedback

[rose nebula]

i died earlier to some explosion

[raven sparrow]

If you start as a loner do the tourist safari mission from the guy with the machinegun outside the bunker, it nets you 2 free companions for the duration of the mission, its really helpful on day 1.

[rose nebula]

i play survivalist?

and hard?

[radiant stirrup]

grenade or a mine?

[rose nebula]

i dunno i just walk into some crater and then boom

[radiant stirrup]

yep sounds scary, but its the setting gamma was designed for

[raven sparrow]

Also note that his mission to rescue a courier has a rare bug that causes the base to go hostile, avoid doing it.

[radiant stirrup]

sounds like a mine. there are signs when mines are around. but also if you just started and died to a mine then you where walking towards a millinery camp who will kill you on site. avoid that direction for now

[raven sparrow]

@rose nebula Sounds like you ran into a gravitational anomaly, keep an eye on leaves moving in the wind.

[radiant stirrup]

oh could be that too

[rose nebula]

i did this and still have 75 points

[radiant stirrup]

spend them on meds or water. the rest doesn't matter too much

[silk maple]

Extracting the gamma zip to the root drive has littered it with a dozen folders so I'm pretty sure that's not what I was meant to do but ok

[rose nebula]

i think this is the one, the village leader was talking about something like this, and i went to the arrow that shows me in the map and just poof haha

[brisk zinc]

We expect people to at least know how to operate a computer

[versed tusk]

we told you tho

make a folder for both

[brisk zinc]

We can't really say exactly every step you need to take

The whole thing would be 10 pages long

And in that case it would be too long to read

[radiant stirrup]

so for the most part, avoid walking into anything glowing or humming. it will kill you haha

[silk maple]

Right nevermind i can't f*cking read

Sorry for the annoyance

[raven sparrow]

most anomalies make some sound when you are close

[versed tusk]

[silk maple]

Legitimately a stupid mistake on my part

[brisk zinc]

You're not annoying, don't worry

At least you're being nice enough to understand our point of view

Other people would have just said "bad moderation I'll report you"

[silk maple]

Lmfao

[brisk zinc]

And I'm saying it because it happened

[silk maple]

Yeah i'm aware you guys end up with 5 year olds coming in here asking just as stupid questions then getting mad so

I at least try and stay nice

[brisk zinc]

About your problem, the thing is that we can't really even say "right click, extract to, create a folder", etc.

The guide would seriously be long

• again we expect people to know how to use a damn computer

[silk maple]

No no I understand exactly what I was meant to do

I misread something

[brisk zinc]

You're not the problem
The rest of the world is

[silk maple]

Lmao

[brisk zinc]

I mean

If you want to install a mod pack

You know how a computer works

Not here

Impossible

[rose nebula]

but he said that i need to take something there that the scientist wanted

i thought it was the thing that i was supposed to put into the can

[quaint iris]

sry wrong chat

[radiant stirrup]

you can navigate though those zones its just extremely dangerous. walk slowly and use bolts (5 on keyboard) to see where the death is

[raven sparrow]

@rose nebula Throw bolts infront of you to see if there is anomaly there when traversing (dense) anomaly fields looking for artifacts

There is a campfire next to the field you mention, save there and keep trying until you get the hang of it

[radiant stirrup]

also, this will come later, but for some (fire and electric) anomalies even being close to them will damage and kill you quickly. you need the right amour, or be very fast for those

[tame heron]

Hi guys, any way to skip time aside from buying sleeping pills and sleeping it out? They are expensive as hell

[raven sparrow]

drink vodka to get tired

or use joints or other items that give fatigue

[radiant stirrup]

||there are anomalies that teleport you though time. there are a bunch on them in the SW of grater swamps)||

[tame heron]

Thanks

[rose nebula]

so i started, and i dont know what to do, should i do some quest from random people?

[raven sparrow]

yes, quests is best way to make money

Sidorovich, the guy in the bunker will set you on the "main quest" (yellow in questpanel)

[radiant stirrup]

yeah essentially there's a good guide on #╭📖faq for how to progress now

[raven sparrow]

ask about strelok

Prioritize getting a good mask to protect against radiation, a shotgun to protect from mutants and some basic tools to start repairing guns and armor.

[cunning ferry]

im getting a crash when i click run on the mod organizer. just a windows error noise

[winter raptor]

are you able to pick up mines you placed?

[rose nebula]

i picked up a quest, but i cant seem to find it in my map

[versed tusk]

no

[cunning ferry]

where can i find the 1.51 to 1.52 .txt?

[rose nebula]

it was a get my stash quest

[radiant stirrup]

this will tell you where it is

[winter raptor]

sucks

[versed tusk]

#1025143518978650122

[rose nebula]

its so far haha its like top right of the map, and im at the bottom left

[radiant stirrup]

if you talk to the same guy you can cancel the quest. I would only accept 'easy' ones for now.
hand in badges, mutant meats, kill this guy.
also talk to them ask about the quests then back out noting the name of the place. if you open your map zoom all the way out you can see the names of the places. don't accept anything past the red forest for now

[deft hollow]

Is there a way to lower the brightness of the skyboxes? The contrast between them and the darker colors of the ground + buildings is pretty eye straining. Had a look at the reshade settings and tried toggling the skies redux, but the issue is there either way.

[versed tusk]

try disabling Dynamic tonemap in MCM

[rose nebula]

how do i start new character?

[versed tusk]

by clicking new game?

[rose nebula]

ohh it was quitgae

game*

[near vault]

quick question on mo2
these folders show up in the preview thing in mo2 on the right am i supposed to do anything with them?

[rose nebula]

i thought it will exit the game lol.

[near vault]

since i do realize they are mods

[brisk zinc]

No

[near vault]

aight cool

[radiant stirrup]

as soon as you get to the mo2 stage you're done. the game can be played

[deft hollow]

Didn't really help. Is the below how the game normally looks for other people? I recall stalker always being a bit iffy when it came to sky vs ground contrast.

[versed tusk]

its dependent on time and weather too

have you decativated the reshade to test?

pgUp

[little bronze]

Still having the same issue

[rose nebula]

How do i start tracking a mission? i cant seem to do it

[rose nebula]

this doesnt work

[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]

if there is no button, then there is no location for it. what is the quest?

[little bronze]

Its coming up with the same issue even after ive installed the 1.5.2 update, unless i havent done it properly

[heavy socket]

Hey i started a new game as clear sky and should help defend the pumping station. but when i arrive, the attack is already going and everyone, even clear sky, shooting at me

[deft hollow]

Yeah gave it a try - specifically turning the bloom reshade off makes a mild difference, but not enough. It seems to me like the sky texture itself is just way too bright.

[rose nebula]

how do i open the map at the top left corner of my screen?

[radiant stirrup]

?/ button

[graceful iron]

there is a keybind in the mcm, should be / by default

[pale phoenix]

is accessible zone something I want enable my first playthrough?

[radiant stirrup]

yes,

[rose nebula]

where would i find the jellyfish?

[radiant stirrup]

only turn it off if you are doing some sort of challenge run

that's a hard mission. you have to stumble across it in them anomaly fields

[earnest shore]

hey so I only have 324 mods installed, i have tried re doing a full Gamma installation but that doesn't help any ideas?

[near cypress]

Are there any female stalker companions? I only seen guys as stalkers or whatever
I dont know if this stuff is included in this modpack ?

[rose nebula]

i dont know where to find this

[radiant stirrup]

there's one; hip. but she's kind of trash.

[frozen geyser]

Two, Anna if you turn on Duty Expansion

She's literally Hip's face model slapped on a duty body

[radiant stirrup]

try #1025143518978650122

[dreamy nimbus]

Asking for a clarification but does the torrent download in #old-how-to-install contain all needed gamma files?

[near cypress]

Ig Hip? what a name? xD Is a stalker?
Ig I go try something out, I don't like how much stuff they can carry, just 30kg. Yes realism. But being hold my stuff servant is more important.

[split plume]

wait really i turned that off cause i figured its my first playthrough

[radiant stirrup]

yeah hip is a stalker, but honestly just ignore her. best way to get good companions to to give ding stalkers medkits then ask them to follow you

[split plume]

i actually saw a female Duty stalker in rostok yesterday, not from the duty expansion mod either. i think maybe theres a rare chance one spawns

[radiant stirrup]

make a new game if you just started, if you're in deep i can help you fix it

[split plume]

nah I'm in deep, but i dont see the point, isnt it more organic to unlock the routes through playing (if its your first time at least)

[radiant stirrup]

it brakes a lot of stuff. I really don't recommend it

[split plume]

i thought that was more of a "oh im doing a 7th playthrough and i can't be bother" feature

[radiant stirrup]

nope

[split plume]

oh damn i didnt know that

[radiant stirrup]

do you want to fix it?

[split plume]

maybe in the future, how do you do it though

[radiant stirrup]

you need to turn on debug, go to execute actions, scroll to the bottom and press "unlock all routes"

[fallen heath]

can somebody help me out? i'm playing on laptop and i don't have the "home" button in my keyboard to toggle reshades, i can't figure out where the config file for that keybind is in the game's folders

[split plume]

ah ok if it's that easy ill keep it in mind if i ever run into an issue, thanks

[rose nebula]

i died man,

i thought they was friendly and they shotgun me in the face

if i go outside the rookie village everyone is enemy?

[radiant stirrup]

it happens, if you look at your pda you can see who likes and dislikes who in a grid under relations

[rose nebula]

it said it you discovered garage

and then i went to them immidiately shot me in the face lol

[radiant stirrup]

yeah garage is full of bandits

[split plume]

ok so doing a quick google, look for ReShade.ini in your stalker anomaly folder/bin
in there is a line under [INPUT] called "KeyOverlay=36,0,0,0" so you wanna be changing that 36 to the keycode corresponding to the key you wanna use. https://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/webprog/DHTML_javascript/0596004672_jvdhtmlckbk-app-b.html here has a list of the keyboard keys and their corresponding Keycode

i havent actually tested to see if this works but it looks pretty straightforward and just a simple .ini edit

[odd coral]

So Beef's NVGs don't work with DX8. Even if I disable that, NVGs still don't work. Workaround?

[fallen heath]

thanks a lot

🙂

[radiant stirrup]

!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

[odd coral]

Can I use other NVGs mods after disabling them?

[radiant stirrup]

that's a question for #🔨modded-gamma-support

[odd coral]

Oh my bad, but thanks

[radiant stirrup]

no worries, i just don't know

[rose nebula]

what do i do to fix this?

[radiant stirrup]

there is a guide section in your pda, have a read of all of them 🙂

[acoustic ibex]

How do I check my ammo with the mod?

[rose nebula]

im dizzy i cant read haha

[lofty bluff]

i am returnal

now.

[eternal tulip]

hey guys, stupid, german guy with no clue here, think i got the installation right but i think i screwd up in MO, can someone tell me where to find the list if the 333 needed mods? ❤️

[radiant stirrup]

for now you need to buy yadulin. use a bandage then yad

[hardy stump]

I've been trying to install gamma for around 36 hours, every time there is a different number of mods installed

[lofty bluff]

I have been trying for a week 😄

[hardy stump]

I got assistance from Grok and Larkin but nothing worked

[lofty bluff]

: D

[radiant stirrup]

@eternal tulip @hardy stump #1025143518978650122

[hardy stump]

how are you still sane

[lofty bluff]

WHen did I mention sanity my friend

[eternal tulip]

ty <§

❤️

[rose nebula]

i died haha, im going to get a different quest

[lofty bluff]

ibuprofin is way better imo

[rose nebula]

this is fun, even i keep dying haha

[radiant stirrup]

yes, however he as been playing for 30mins as has no money

[lofty bluff]

you can get 2 in start menu

):

very good!!!

Use it after a bandage and watch your mangled torso stitch itself together!

if I could play the game......

[rose nebula]

how do i fast travel?

[radiant stirrup]

it cost a lot of money, you can't for now

[rose nebula]

ohh okay.

[analog path]

Dumb question, how do I (cheaply) heal my damaged limbs - I have only just realised the bandages and such are temporary.

[radiant stirrup]

read the pda guides

[analog path]

I'm right near the beginning of the game and my character isn't tired enough to sleep, and I'm not sure if there is a time skip feature.

Cheers

[lunar fulcrum]

So I used the Installer overnight, and by the end of it the console was erroring crazy and I wound up with this.
I can't launch the game, do I really have to reinstall again? It took almost 13 hours....

[analog path]

Well I'm healed, but off my face on drugs now

Cheers 😄

[radiant stirrup]

#1025143518978650122

[lunar fulcrum]

Gotcha, checking

[radiant stirrup]

haha yeah if you follow it up with a coffee it snaps you out of it a bit

[analog path]

I'm not rich enough for coffee lol

[rose nebula]

dang, i died again from rookie anomaly haha

i cant seem to outrun the radiation.

[radiant stirrup]

fair, but i recommend buying coffee and energy dinks in the future they are super cheep for their effects

[radiant stirrup]

you can always try again later with better equipment

[lofty bluff]

do i extract?

[radiant stirrup]

is that win10?

[lofty bluff]

very shit.

did not ask for it.

[radiant stirrup]

your going to have issue with that later. I don't know about extract bas but read this:

!win11

hmm

[lofty bluff]

hehehe

lemme get the PROFESSIONAL.....

[radiant stirrup]

!windows11

[raw raft]

If you have Windows 11:

1. Be sure to disable Bit Defender if you have it
2. Be sure to update MO2 to the latest version, 2.4.4. Follow these steps in this pic: https://i.imgur.com/vG6SqwM.png
3. Add an exception for Anomaly and G.A.M.M.A. in your antivirus

[lofty bluff]

FALCO

aw

[lofty bluff]

heh

[radiant stirrup]

🙂

[lofty bluff]

already done

[radiant stirrup]

ahh good

[lofty bluff]

anyone though??

[lunar fulcrum]

Uh, is there a logfile for the console that launches the Installer? I need the errors

[radiant stirrup]

try tag a mod

!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.

[lofty bluff]

guys

[lunar fulcrum]

This is all I have.

[lofty bluff]

do i extract?

[radiant stirrup]

@ a mod

[lofty bluff]

@tidal raft

[lunar fulcrum]

Suspect my best bet is to reinstall with the new launcher, damn

[glossy marlin]

has the arena missions been shortened? i can't accept any more fights after the 5 bandits one

[tidal raft]

Use the new launcher. It does that part for you.

[lofty bluff]

i

[tidal raft]

#📢announcements

[lofty bluff]

why........

[lunar fulcrum]

Always good to update anyway

[deft hollow]

For anyone else who struggles with the skyboxes being too bright, the only reliable solution I found was to alter the sky_color and fog_color values in the weather ltx files in gamedata\configs\environment\weathers

[subtle quail]

There are two AN-94s right, vanilla nad BaS one?

[fierce zodiac]

Just wondering, does Gamma work with directx 9?

[versed tusk]

8, 10 and 11

[fierce zodiac]

Oh ok thanks

[pale phoenix]

how do I heal up a damaged leg ?

[gritty loom]

hey folks, i hope this is an ok place to ask. i am on 21:9 and my pda map doesn't look quiet right. its not absolutely game breaking but i'd appreciate help to fix it

[subtle quail]

first yellow dots temp heal (first aid, bandage, morhpine, etc,, then white dots (yadulin, ibuprofen, fentanyl, military stimpack, etc)

[versed tusk]

!heal

[raw raft]

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

[subtle quail]

the cheapest way to heal ur libms would be bandage+yadulin

[lunar fulcrum]

Normal to be stuck on this for 10+ minutes? Is there a way to see how big a mod is in size?

[acoustic ibex]

Boomsticks and Sharpsticks is around 8 gigs i think, it should take pretty long

[lunar fulcrum]

Ah.... down to internet speed. that sucks

I thought switching moddb server would fix it but nope lol

[slender peak]

any tips for finding expert tools? stash? quest reward? both?

kinda stuck at progression

[hoary tinsel]

so i realized that i put my game rootfolder on desktop wich is not good right ? before i change the game directory, all i need to do for a gamesave backup is copy these files ?

[slender peak]

you can just copy paste the Anomaly folder, its portable install

[hoary tinsel]

and set the new game directory in mo ?

[glossy marlin]

is there any way to turn off the halo looking bloodsuckers and have the original look back

[civic zenith]

is Dx8 supported?

[rose nebula]

help, whenever i get into game it was always black screen?

the game crashed and this happened after that

[proper ore]

Where do I find the mod config menu? I'm trying to disable campfire saves, but there's no menu for that when I launch Gamma.

[brisk zinc]

Are you in game yet?

[proper ore]

I did launch it but I didn't see one there either. I'm doing this because my game crashes whenever I try to start a game

Do you mean that the menu only appears once you've actually loaded a save?

[brisk zinc]

IIRC yes

But it should be also there when you open the game

It's in the menu

[proper ore]

One sec, lemme load the game and I'll show you what I see

[proper ore]

This is what I see

[brisk zinc]

You're missing the mod

[proper ore]

Wdym?

[brisk zinc]

That you don't have the mod

How many active mods do you have in the mod organizer?

[proper ore]

243?

[dim basin]

was going to ask which mirror was which but found it with inspect element

[quiet blaze]

Sooo I installed GAMMA, then activated all mods cuz I wasnt sure, and my game crashes when I start a new game

[keen cedar]

Yeah don't activate all the mods

!modlist

[raw raft]

Follow these instructions to send your mod list: <#╭📖faq message>
(if you're using this command somewhere else, send the file where it was asked)

[proper ore]

Like the launcher says I have it

[keen cedar]

Oh wait shit wrong one hmm

[rose nebula]

hi @brisk zinc can u help me out?

i tried the fixes on my game non of em work.

the game is like broken

[keen cedar]

!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

[rose nebula]

i tried deleting the shader cache

still doesnt work.

[brisk zinc]

1. You're missing a lot of mods, at this point I suggest to grab the new installer you can find in #📢announcements, then open it with admin rights, click on the button in the middle and then Full GAMMA install
2. You have the mod, yes, but it's currently "disabled", because you're probably missing some files of that mod

[rose nebula]

everything is black, i tried raising the brightness and contrast

[proper ore]

oof alright, ty

[brisk zinc]

Why did you enabled every mod?

[brisk zinc]

!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)

[quiet blaze]

Cuz I was too lazy to click them all and I didnt know whic hto enable

[rose nebula]

ill run the game again, ill show a screenshot

of what im seing

[brisk zinc]

The mod list comes with 333 mods enabled

You don't need to enable anything

[quiet blaze]

Mine didnt have any, all the boxes were unticked

and there are 388 possible in mine IG

hol up, I just clicked the default profile from the drop down and then back to GAMMA and it has 333 activated now

Iunno man

[brisk zinc]

I literally sent the !questions thing because you need to answer

[rose nebula]

6. i see x in my mod list

[quiet blaze]

NVM it still crashes,

[rose nebula]

this is what i see ingame.

all the UI is good, its just the thing i see its bugged

[brisk zinc]

You're missing a lot of mods, at this point I suggest to grab the new installer you can find in #📢announcements, then open it with admin rights, click on the button in the middle and then Full GAMMA install

[heady linden]

Hello. I have downloaded the gamma but there are only 293 mods active, not 333. How can i learn which mods are not active?

[lucid yarrow]

Hi i have this stash marked on my map at the entrance to the swamp but i have no way to get to it, am i missing something?

[brisk zinc]

Low crouch, stay close to it

[brisk zinc]

You're missing a lot of mods, at this point I suggest to grab the new installer you can find in #📢announcements, then open it with admin rights, click on the button in the middle and then Full GAMMA install

!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.

[hasty cargo]

A quick question. My internet did a bit of an oopsie when I was downloading GA.M.M.A. last night and I skipped out a mod download. if I do Full G.A.M.M.A. Installation again, is it going to download EVERY mod all over again and take as long?

[north turret]

Do vehicles work? if so how do I use them?

[brisk zinc]

Read above

[brisk zinc]

Yes

You can enter in them with F IIRC

Use Caps Lock to turn them on

[lucid yarrow]

thanks completely forgot about low crouching

[cunning ferry]

how do i fix my legs they always have no health, i used med kit and slept but still zero health

[tidal raft]

Final version of the progression guide has released. #╭📖faq

Check it out if you need/want to.

[bleak dock]

Is there an definite fix for not being able to click anything in the crafting menu?

or do you just have to load save everytime. I didn't see anything about this in #╰🩹known-issues

[brisk zinc]

!tooltip

[raw raft]

If the tooltip is stuck in the crafting menu:

1. #╭📖faq message
2. #╭📖faq message

[bleak dock]

my bad, thanks

[heady linden]

I did this and and now i have 302 mods active. I guess I have to keep full installing until i get the right amount of mods

[hollow wind]

ive full installed twice and still only have 260 odd active mods. doesnt seem to be wanting to dl the missing ones

[terse sun]

hey guys, is the new installer published today already packed in to the gamma client files on mirrors or do I need to replace manually?

[severe karma]

So, what about masks at the beggining of the game? I'm struggling to walk around because of radiation, and I looted just a 7% gas mask so far. No way of repairing that or even to craft a cloth mask (because it needs basic tools). Any advice for this, besides simply spawning one?

[terse sun]

you need to use anti rad meds, vodka, cigarettes

after a while you will collect enough mats to repair a mask

and will drop better ones

[keen cedar]

Yeah cigs and vodka are a pretty common drop. Just keep doing quests until you hit those tools

[severe karma]

It would be nince if cloth masks could be crafted without tools, only with sewing kits and materials. After all, they are quite simple and it would allow a bit more options at the beggining.

[keen cedar]

It's because cloth masks are surprisingly OP for repairing other stuff

Just keep murdering 👍

[severe karma]

But I got it, by design you should not go to maps with many radiation spots. I arrived at Yantar now and cannot go far from the mobile lab

[hollow wind]

turned vpn off and its dling missing mods now, may help someone

[ocean storm]

I am just wondering does anybody else have the issue where every container is empty?

[severe karma]

It is supposed to be like this in Gamma

[ocean storm]

Oh! Does it have to deal with progression?

[severe karma]

you can turn on random loot in stashes in one of the Mod Configurations

[ocean storm]

TY 😄

[severe karma]

the ZCP

[ocean storm]

ZCP 1.5

?

[bright canyon]

I cant find the final mod missing from my mods, can someone help me out?

[ocean storm]

Oh Gamma ZCP 1.4 Balanced spawns is already enabled 👍

[severe karma]

I turned on some small loot probabilities because that rewatds exploration, but it's supposed to be way less than Anomaly

[ocean storm]

I see

[severe karma]

go to Mod Confuration in the main menu, then ZCP and then Loot

[ocean storm]

Got it! Thank you again

[keen cedar]

Yeah the idea is that only marked stashes (if they're on your PDA map) have stuff in them

[ocean storm]

I see, i just felt disappointed after clearing out 10+ bandit camps and every box was empty

kinda made me wonder

[keen cedar]

You can get stash locations as quest rewards, or buy the info from some traders like Sidorovich

(although buying them is a scam tbh)

[rich ivy]

when i load into the game the screen is just black beside some hud and i can hear game sounds

[keen cedar]

!blackscreen

[raw raft]

Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[rich ivy]

thanks

[regal pewter]

what does all the mirrors mean?

[keen cedar]

Alternate download locations in case one stops working. All of them will lead you to the same file

[regal pewter]

and what about the torrent is that also just an alternate download location?

[keen cedar]

Yes

[regal pewter]

ok thanks

[exotic canyon]

If I'm missing mods from the full modlist should I try running the full install again?

[keen cedar]

You can yeah, it will skip stuff you already installed

If it's only a few mods you might want to do it manually

[heady linden]

I am doing my third full install run. still downloading some mods

it is faster tho

[hollow wind]

wheres the full modlist? im still missing some

[keen cedar]

!full

[raw raft]

[rancid fern]

how can you fix game lag when shooting its really so annoying cuz particle vfx doesent seem to affect it at all

[split plume]

found a Loner in jupiter shooting clear sky members, is this normal? was the dude just a bad reputation stalker or what

[regal pewter]

[rancid fern]

i think around 30-60gb

[north turret]

Thank you

[civic zenith]

60gb, no way

[rancid fern]

yeah ik

[radiant stirrup]

wow very active with people today. this thread is being overrun! haha

[keen cedar]

[regal pewter]

how do i know which of these is the right one?

[rancid fern]

do you love in eu or na

[regal pewter]

NA

so it doesnt matter where in NA just pick one?

[dull meteor]

this is a side question do i need mod organizer 2 or can i stay with 1

[rancid fern]

welllp i guess you have to choose na

[rancid fern]

in the download mo2 is already included

[regal pewter]

i just thought the numbers meant different part of north america so thats why i was confused

[dull meteor]

should i uninstall the first one then

[rancid fern]

i dont think soi

[warm flume]

hey guys

sorry to interrupt i just wanted to ask if there is a way to minimize the automated modkpack installer thing?

[rancid fern]

because mo2 in gamma has its own mod folder so everything should be alright

[rancid fern]

press win + tab and select new desktop

[warm flume]

it stays on the middle of my screen even if i minimize the tray

[dull meteor]

ok thanks

[rancid fern]

because the is no was to close that

[warm flume]

i tried but still stays on the middle of my screen :/

cant minimize at all

[rancid fern]

you selected desktop 2 ?

[warm flume]

let me try

it just sends me back to 1

:/

[rancid fern]

you could also try draging this install tab into your unused desktop

[warm flume]

first time i hear of that option

could you tell me how to do it ?

aa

i did it

i moved the installer to desktop 2

[rancid fern]

nice

[warm flume]

tysm bro it was annoying me for a bit lmao

[rancid fern]

np

[warm flume]

it will keep installing right?

[rancid fern]

yes as long as you dont close the installer

[warm flume]

alr tysm

[flat cairn]

hi guys, is there any catch to find documents in brain scorcher lab? Can't find them anywhere(

[wary isle]

Is there anywhere on this channel that documents what each mod does? Having trouble finding it if there is

[rancid fern]

[wary isle]

thanks

[bitter sandal]

[rancid fern]

[bitter sandal]

[final isle]

[rancid fern]

[bitter sandal]

[final isle]

ok thanks

[rich ivy]

is there any other ways to fix the black screen issue besides the ways listed in faq because i followed the steps and it still did not work

[slender peak]

Help, cant get the brain protecting helmet from the yantar prof. because talking to him in disguise makes him still punch me in the face and run off alarming the whole base, im playing bandit btw

tried with both freedom and ecologist disguises, all difficulty turned to 0

is my only option to switch factions to freedom? do i lose my rep with bandits if i do?

[hallow gust]

Hey i just downloaded the game I have ryzen 7 and 3070ti RTX with 32GB of ram for some reason my game runs at like 2fps

[prisma isle]

is there any anomaly torrent file? it takes too long to download an 8GB file using the browser

[hallow gust]

I have reset the setting but does not do anything lol if anyone has any ideas please let me know

[brisk zinc]

!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.

G.A.M.M.A., IN GENERAL, can be downloaded in 30 minutes, maybe 1 hour.
This, of course, is when we don't have a big YT channel with 1.50mln subscribers that makes a video on the mod pack AND an update for a mod that is comparable to the second coming of Jesus Christ.
Since this stuff happened literally in the span of two days, you'll have to be patient and wait. Or just don't download G.A.M.M.A. for now and try again in few days.

This is the official torrent for Anomaly 1.5.1: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:c307c208636d1fd98ca4fe70ca0c692035659855&dn=Anomaly-1.5.1.7z&tr=udp://tracker.opentrackr.org:1337/announce&tr=udp://bt1.archive.org:6969/announce&tr=udp://bt2.archive.org:6969/announce&tr=udp://tracker.torrent.eu.org:451/announce
