tbh seen a couple people with this recently and they all had to do the same thing

no idea why it happens

need to grab a save from someone that has it so we can test i guess

[kindred oar]

How do I provide a save?

[hardy oxide]

Anomaly\appdata\savedgames

need scop, scoc and dds

[visual shale]

can i interrupt real quick? the ads thing is happening where you dont actually aim down the sights, how do i fix this?

[frank lake]

Does anyone else have the weird shadow glitch? the world is cast in a shadow and all CS and Loner NPCS are hostile techs and FLs included?

[hardy oxide]

go up to a wall so your gun tilts up and ads; should fix it when you move away from the wall

[visual shale]

negative

[hardy oxide]

screenshot?

[visual shale]

bruh

[hardy oxide]

im not telepathic i need to see what you're talking about

[hardy oxide]

in console type cfg_load grading_warm that might fix the shadow issue at least

[hidden geyser]

I found a later save that wasn't affected by the bug, how would I disabled the animations that cause it, so I don't get it on this one as well?

[visual shale]

This thing, you press right click and the camera zooms slightly but the gun doesnt move, im in a firefight rn so screenshoting aint that easy

[hardy oxide]

honestly run the latest gamma update it will disable all the risky ones for you

#💽how-to-update

[hidden geyser]

Ok, I'll do that, tysm!

[visual shale]

ok i died, got more than enough time now

[hardy oxide]

yeah its a different bug than the one im used to, not sure on this one

[visual shale]

actually death fixed it, just like everything

[hardy oxide]

ah wonderful

a job well done

[last ledge]

I'm on a 3440x1440 monitor, I've enabled the 21-9 resolution patch, reloaded shaders, did a full install and did that again but I'm getting this double image with my binoculars. Anything else anyone could point me towards to try out?

[hardy oxide]

use the in-game console and type vid_mode [3440x1440] ?

im too poor for ultrawide so i never played with this stuff before

[kindred oar]

My most recent save where issue reaapeared after increasing goodwill toward hostile squad via debug

[hardy oxide]

thats great thanks, i'll check it out and if it happens on my game too i'll pass it on to the devs

[last ledge]

Already set to 3440x1440, oh well. I'm sure somethin'll pop into the noggin for clearing it up

[north turret]

what mods do i disable again for Greener Zone?

some Autumn stuff i think its called?

[last ledge]

It's in the FAQ, scroll up a bit and you'll find it

[north turret]

thanks

[frank lake]

do you know why the NPCS are hostile on spawn?

or has it happened to other people at least?

[hardy oxide]

what faction are you and/or are you in disguise?

[lofty latch]

i just did what the default command tells me to do, and it did disable the mods i added, but i only have 334 mods active
I did a Full install first

[hardy oxide]

did you download gamma data before you did the full install?

[sage totem]

hey my fps was great yesterday on extreme settings. I loaded it up today and hang around 30 fps. anyone got any suggestions?

[stuck tartan]

hey so I put the fang exoskeleton that I found into my followers inventory and now it's not there, can't reload a earlier save where it's there either. is there a way to enable debug mode and spawn it in?

[wanton drum]

What if the quest i need to complete through this is not in the st_quests_general.xtml when i search it? Do you know where it could be?

[hardy oxide]

enable companion inventory unlock mod in MO2, its in his prison wallet

[hardy oxide]

what quest are you after?

[sage totem]

hey @hardy oxide any idea what could be the issue i am having?

[wanton drum]

Phantoms in the Dark

[hardy oxide]

nope

[hardy oxide]

#🔨base-gamma-support message

[wanton drum]

And when i kill ale the bloodsuckers and there is no other the quest just doesnt complete and i tried reloading it but it doesnt help

[wanton drum]

Thank you so much

[unborn ingot]

Is there a known issue that causes load times to rocket up to 5 minutes after disabling the Miracle Machine?

Only seen one other person on here mention it, only seen one person on reddit mention it, haven't seen any answers.

[fluid ermine]

hey guys, I used to get like 70fps on medium setting for like the past 2 weeks of playing the game. The last 3 days ive tried playing and ive only managed getting 25 fps. is this a common issue and is there a fix?

seemingly nothing has changed yet my FPS is in the shitter.

[sage totem]

hey same thing liam i just reloaded the game a bunch

[stuck tartan]

Enabled it, how do I use it?. I can't see it in the normal inventory

[sage totem]

eventually it just took it back to regular fps

[hardy oxide]

idk i never used it before

[fluid ermine]

so just try reloading a bunch?

[sage totem]

if i put items in a box will it stay there??

[lofty latch]

Yes, i decompressed all and pasted it on the download, inside GAMMA folder
I just ran a Full Install again and i still have 334 mods

[hardy oxide]

yes, ai dont loot them

[sage totem]

i changed my settings using the presets and kept relaunching the game and eventually it went back to normal

[hardy oxide]

thats not what i asked

[stuck tartan]

Found the option to enable it. Armor is not in his inventory.

[hardy oxide]

did you press the giant download gamma data button in the top centre of the launcher before you did the full install

[lofty latch]

i mean that i downloaded and extracted all files from the addons zip file (8gb)

[hardy oxide]

then its gone 🤷

[stuck tartan]

Is there a way to spawn one in through console or debug?

[hardy oxide]

you can with debug yes

[stuck tartan]

ok, how do I enable debug mode?

[sharp bough]

!debug

[raw raft]

How to enable debug mode: #╭📖faq message

[halcyon dagger]

Since the last update for example radios and walkie talkies no longer show me any parts that I get when disassembling.

[eager wagon]

I'm having an issue where MO2 keeps giving me the cannot find file on nexus error, so I believe a ton of the mods may not have downloaded properly, because I'm getting fps issues after doing all the fps advice and when I tried to reinstall the NVG mod as suggested, I got the nexus error

[hardy oxide]

not a single one of these mods is on the nexus

your MO2 install isn't playing ball; you need portable instances not a global one

[eager wagon]

That's the confusing part, I went to Nexus and there's only 18 mods on there, so I dunno why MO2 is trying to download things from Nexus

[gleaming tendon]

maybe im just being a bitch, but can i get more than 50fps average on an fx 8350 and 1050ti 16gigs? (followed #old-framerate-optimisation )

[lofty latch]

#╭📖faq message
I did this because if i press that button, the download is really slow 20kbos

[eager wagon]

How do I switch to portable instances?

[hardy oxide]

gonna have to google that one, i only know the answer not the method

[eager wagon]

I shall use my advanced Google Fu, thank you Devi

!data

[raw raft]

Can't download anything when you click on "Download G.A.M.M.A. data": #╭📖faq message

[lofty latch]

That's what i did
i told you that already
and i only have 334 active mods after doing !default

[hardy oxide]

oh i didnt see the link

ngl im doing other shit

!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)

[hardy oxide]

huh

how long ago did you download the gamma data?

the 2 mods you are missing are from the 28/10/22 update

[neon vigil]

Was there a stash max capacity added with this last update? Because before the update there wasn't a max with my backpack stash and nothing in the changelog appears to say anything about it. Or did I change something without knowing it?

[hardy oxide]

probably disabled this when it updated:

[neon vigil]

Oh shit, never even knew that was a thing. Probs accidently clicked it when I was looking through or something.

[sharp bough]

it's disabled by default

[lofty latch]

Just today, a couple of hours ago
I was using a month-old version, and that one did have all 336 default mods

Remember that I haven't downloaded the 400MB GAMMA definitions zip file (from the big button), because my internet is really slow right now
I did what I was told by a moderator with the !default command.

[hardy oxide]

this isn't the right way to install the data at that link btw

1. Download this: https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/blob/main/G.A.M.M.A/modpack_data/modlist.txt (you basically need to create a .txt file called modlist)
   2) Go in here: GAMMA RC3\Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_data
   3) Paste the .txt file in this folder

[lofty latch]

Man, i just told you that this is what it did!!!!!!!!!

[hardy oxide]

no you said " i decompressed all and pasted it on the download, inside GAMMA folder"

[gleaming tendon]

can i do anything more than #old-framerate-optimisation and faq guide for some more performance? fx 8350 gtx 1050ti 16gb

[hardy oxide]

modlist.txt is not a file that needs to be decompressed and it doesnt go in "the download"

what you describe is something entirely different

[lofty latch]

You asked for the GAMMA data add-ons did you not?
That's what I'm referring to

[sharp bough]

pretty sure that's on you to figure out propper settings for your system. Did you see the video settings guide that explains what each option does?

[hardy oxide]

no i never said the word add-on even once

[lofty latch]

I already did this of the text file

[gleaming tendon]

yup

might just be because im in a populated area, but the drops to 40ish annoy me

[wintry bough]

my game wont start, anyone can help

[hardy oxide]

rostok?

[gleaming tendon]

yup

[unborn ingot]

Is there anything specific in this pack that drastically changes load times? Something happened after doing Miracle Machine that I'm currently testing. Clocked in an area change at 3:11 and this just didn't used to happen.

[hardy oxide]

thats just how it be in rostok

[gleaming tendon]

lol i found the culprit then

[brittle ivy]

rostok at night i drop to 20fps it is what it is lol

[gleaming tendon]

thx

[hardy oxide]

can you send me the modlist.txt file you have?

[sharp bough]

missing mods maybe? How many are active in MO2?

[wintry bough]

269

[sharp bough]

you are missing a lot of 'em

[wintry bough]

oof, I will try to reinstall all of them

[sharp bough]

follow #old-how-to-install to the letter

[wintry bough]

thanks

[quick nebula]

just got done doing Radar and the 2nd Brain Scorcher mission and all of a sudden, when im back in my hideout (Rostok) im getting a max of 20-25 fps. i get better fps without AVX, but result in more crashes around other areas. is there really no way to get a little boost in fps, even if its only in Rostok?

[hardy oxide]

just saw that 269, yeah full install lmao

!full

[raw raft]

A Full GAMMA Installation does NOT remove saves, nor does it mean you are redownloading everything and it won't delete anything at all.
A full install will simply check every mod in the pack, and any that need to be updated will be updated.

To Perform this follow these steps:

1. Open your G.A.M.M.A. installer as admin
2. Click "Download G.A.M.M.A. data"
3. Click "Full G.A.M.M.A. installation"

[sharp bough]

when you finish the Radar mission a bunch more Free Stalkers are spawned. You might be having an overpopulation issue which is more of an engine problem

[hardy oxide]

when did you last update? grok removed a bunch of the light sources in rostok which made it a lot better but still kinda bad; that was the 28 Oct patch

[lofty latch]

ok

[unborn sequoia]

@hardy oxide finally got it, ur a god.
Thanks my dude

[hardy oxide]

i dont even remember what i did but thank you babe

[unborn sequoia]

don't worry, you are the man

i updated about 2 or 3 days ago, i believe i did read how he fixed light sources in patch notes. and for a while there, my fps was pretty good and stable at rostok, but it might be the problem Grim mentioned. i may need to delete some npcs in debug or something : )

there's no way you arent in game already

so no

[north turret]

guys my game started stuttering like crazy when i downloaded the latest update, this never happened before, can anyone help pls?

[sharp bough]

no... but when I ticked off the newby I was still messing with the game xD

[zenith magnet]

Has something been changed when repairing a gun? When swapping parts inside the toolkit menu the gun overall condition doesn't improve anymore

[hardy oxide]

i wont tell 🤐

[unborn ingot]

Yes. Weapon condition is not affected by parts. Low weapon condition causes an increase in rate at which parts are damaged. The frame of the gun itself is a separate condition from the parts entirely.

[north turret]

if anyone knows a solution for this please tell when you can

[zenith magnet]

I know that but untill yesterday it still did

[sharp bough]

!STUTTER

[raw raft]

1. Update G.A.M.M.A. to the latest version (open the installer with admin rights, click on Download 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)

[amber charm]

what does this mean??

[sharp bough]

replacing parts on armor fixes overall condition but it doesn't do that for weapons FYI

[unborn ingot]

Maybe I just didn't notice the change then. I haven't updated for a few weeks but mine doesn't do that.

[zenith magnet]

Oh well at least i know, thanks for the help

[sharp bough]

90% sure it's mem leak

[amber charm]

what does that mean?

and how did it happen and how do i fix it?

[sharp bough]

basically, from my limited knowlage, the game keeps writing data to your RAM and it's not getting cleared. So your RAM memory gets overfilled and the game crashes cuz it has no room to write more data

In before Devi proves me wrong

[unborn ingot]

Loading times skyrocket after Miracle Machine quest. 3min and higher. Anyone know why?
(Sorry if I'm spamming, just not hearing answers in any channel)

[amber charm]

so should i clear my RAM?

[sharp bough]

That's not a issue with your system, it's the game and/or mod that's causing it. Can't really fix it as far as I'm aware

[hardy oxide]

well man idk then; that is the correct data file; try doing a manual install of these, unzip them into your GAMMA RC3\mods folder then do only install gamma add-ons
If this doesnt work im out of ideas

[amber charm]

well fuck, and im like over 25 hours into this playthrough

[sharp bough]

does it crash on startup?

[amber charm]

no it usually crashes during loading screens

[sharp bough]

if it's a mem leak it should crash after some time of the game running not immediately

[sharp bough]

then it's not a mem leak. I R DUMB

[muted vigil]

so im military outpost, and the door in the back is empty but i cannot walk through it, any solutions?

[sharp bough]

!crash start by posting a crash log

[raw raft]

Send your crash log where it was asked, not inside the #🤖bot-commands if you're here right now.
It's inside your Anomaly folder, this is the complete path: Anomaly/appdata/logs.
This is what you could find:

1. xray_yournamehere.txt
2. xray_yournamehere.log
3. xray_yournamehere

You just need to send this file where it was asked, drag and drop inside the Discord channel, Discord will handle it for you.
Make sure you're not using any extra mods.

Nope, still 334 mods active.
I waited for the GAMMA_definition.zip file to finish downloading (using the big button "Download GAMMA data"), about 1:30 hrs for only 97mb

maybe Grok deactivated some mods on purpose?

right i forgot that one is in my list twice still my bad. Enable fast transfer fix and add the binocular one. Then thats 336

[torn quartz]

Can someone tell me why my game keeps crashing everytime I start a new game?

Please

[sharp bough]

dam... Dodo brain too small to figure it out... This might be the crash that just happens cuz it happens.

[zinc cobalt]

Hmm, maybe. But I haven't had any issues until today, 30-40 hours at least. Has happened 3 times in Dead City, just random

Hi. Upon entering Lab X-18 my framerate drops from 75 to a literal 1 frame per second. Any idea what's going on?

I'm not exaggerating, either. It's 1 (one) fps. Unplayable.

[lofty latch]

Ok, thanks, I'm deleting GAMMA and re-installing from 0
I hope this works properly this time

[hardy oxide]

why delete gamma? what?

[sharp bough]

to be fair, I've had a few crashes while playing. It's kind of an X-Ray engine feature

[zinc cobalt]

Yeah that's fair given the age of it etc but it's just weird how they're only happening in one place

[lofty latch]

to install from 0

[hardy oxide]

okay but wwhy

you hve the missing mod now

[keen cedar]

does this persist on reload?

[sharp bough]

Try waiting till Devi ain't busy and have him take a look if he's willing

[zinc cobalt]

Cool thanks man

yeah, "not enough memory". can you also provide:

• a screenshot of your MO2
• a screenshot of your Anomaly folder, including the top bar where the filepath is

[forest stone]

I'll try restarting. I loaded older saves, re-entered, still 1fps. No other region is malfunctioning. Lemme reboot completely though, be back in a sec

i just don't want any more issues

i'll just start from 0

uhhhh screenshot?

[rancid jungle]

the semenov research hunt task in yantar is not completing, how to fix?

[keen cedar]

yeah just mentioning cos when i was playing today my fps nosedived to 4 on entering army warehouse, but a quick reload of the save fixed it

[keen cedar]

ah, yeah, stash weight on and russian localization mod

out of mem is... tricky because it usually means "some mod is corrupted and when attempting to load it, xray gets stuck in a loop and runs out of its assigned mem"

[zinc cobalt]

Oh shit yeah, forgot the stash weight (although not added anything to it when crashed) - don't know what the russian one is though

[lyric lark]

Can i enable anus with no consequences midgameplay?

[west magnet]

I have no idea what button I pushed but I'm pretty sure something hides it

[keen cedar]

well, do a quick update/reset of the modlist and see if that save still refuses to load

1. Open GAMMA installer as admin
2. Click "Download G.A.M.M.A. data"
3. Click "Only install G.A.M.M.A. add-ons"

[zinc cobalt]

Ah ok, I take it that's just an unlucky one as it's nothing PC related?

[west magnet]

Also Does enabling snipers from the gamma fixes cause any issues?

[keen cedar]

yes, though you'll have to wait a bit before squads with new names are spawned in

Saw your post saying the same thing through search function 😄 Thanks!

My ANUS accomodates D!CK, if you don't use DICK, then you may experience issues with my ANUS.

wtf is that on moddb lmfao

[zinc cobalt]

Is this aimed at me mate? If so, I can load all saves and go about playing. It doesn't crash straight away, sometimes I can clear 50% of the camp then it does it, another time it happens quickly etc. I'll do a quick update anyway, may as well

[sharp bough]

open debug menu, press S

[north turret]

Anyone know how to enable DX9? When I try to it just crashes on launch. I can do DX10-11 fine.

[keen cedar]

dx9 doesn't work on gamma

[north turret]

Does dx8?

[keen cedar]

yup, basically since mem errors are REALLY had to pin down i'm a little hesitant to tell you to just "reinstall all the mods" esp if it's not a consistent crash... if you think the pace of crashes are unbearable, that's what I would suggest - back up your saves (Anomaly/appdata/savedgames), delete everything in GAMMA RC3/mods, run the full install process again

[keen cedar]

!dx8 yup, but there's some extra stuf you have to do

[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

[zinc cobalt]

Haha well, don't worry, as I jumped the gun and did the reinstall anyway! 🤣 If doing so has messed up my saves I'll just start again this weekend, no biggie

[keen cedar]

np, good luck with the reinstall!

To get the #📍577-mods-in-mo2 please, follow this:

1- Visit this link and download GAMMA_addons_downloads.7z: https://gofile.io/d/WlndL7

THE MULTIPLE FILES ARE MIRRORS. YOU ONLY NEED ONE 8.2 GB FILE. JUST CHOOSE ONE. You don't need to get the 2.4 GB file, because you already downloaded it to get the client.
2- Open your G.A.M.M.A. RC3 folder, move the archive in there, right click it and choose "extract here", using 7zip. It will create a folder called downloads, which will be now filled with zip archives.
EXTRACTION ERRORS ARE NORMAL. WE ALREADY KNOW. DON'T WORRY.
3- Go inside this folder, which is inside your G.A.M.M.A. RC3 folder: .Grok's Modpack Installer, you'll find the G.A.M.M.A. installer.exe.
LAUNCH IT WITH ADMIN RIGHTS. Click on "Download GAMMA data", when it's done, click on "Full GAMMA installation".

The archives stored in downloads folder will be installed in your MO2 and you should reach the #📍577-mods-in-mo2.

[lofty latch]

Do you think you can update it again now?
So i can get the most recent file
Please

[sharp bough]

there hasn't been an update yet, it should be up to date

[lofty latch]

Can you upload it to Zyppyshare and pass me the link then?
I'm tired from how many times I have tried to download, but it never finishes

[grim condor]

Hello. I've been lead here because I was told my problem can be solved here.

Installed the game when it needed 333 active moved. Played. Problems happened and I deleted the game. fresh reinstall. Game is not running. Can I post my log here?

[lofty latch]

please

[lyric perch]

im trying this now, ty ❤️

[sharp bough]

I can only try and help. I'm no Helper... But I am a Helpdur!

[grim condor]

Any help is appreciated, just to get to the bottom of this. There are only two differences from last install (which worked without problems)

1-The directory is not on the main partition, but in a file inside of it, but everything else I did the same. 336 active mods right now.

2-When I launch the game. The GAMMA loading screen does not appear (like it used to.) Now its the Anomaly loading screen.

[sharp bough]

"8. Make 2 different folders at the root of your drives (C:/, D:/): one will contain GAMMA, and the other will contain Anomaly. Don't make these folders in Downloads, Program Files, Documents, Desktop. For instance use: C:/GAMMA and C:/Anomaly. Do not use special characters in any of the folders ([-, etc)"

I think this might be applicable

[lofty latch]

!k98

[raw raft]

1. Go in this folder: GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches
2. Copy these three folders (check pic)
3. Go to your Anomaly folder
4. Paste these three folders (check pic)
5. Overwrite/replace all if asked
   It won't delete your save files.

[grim condor]

Just a minute. I'll try this.

[lofty latch]

Will you help me, buddy?
Sorry for being insistent, but I'm really desperate, i don't know why did i even update, my game was working fine

[sharp bough]

Wut? I sent you a PM with a dropbox link to the file

[lofty latch]

ohh, ok sorry

I'm just so tired, i don't see things

[lethal cave]

My limb UI seems to be borked and i can no longer shift click things in to my inventory

[gritty kindle]

I think you need to have the directory on the root of the drive. It should be E:/Anomaly and E:/Gamma and then have all the files inside of that. I’m not sure if this structure is what you meant

[mild yoke]

Anyone have the issue with mags redux when trying to reload the gun is just lowered off screen and raised back up without reloading? Only fix I know of is to exit to desk top and start the game back up.

[grim condor]

This is the only thing I did differently so it could be it. I installed it on F:/Anomaly and Gamma/Anomaly (for anomaly)/game files
And the same thing for Gamma files.

[lofty latch]

Again, thank you bro (sis)(i duno what chu are so...)
you are a blessing

[sharp bough]

Just call me an idiot
Or bro/dude whatevs 😄

[lofty latch]

I don't even know what is the problem
I'm using my entire internet speed in the download from Dropbox, it's working fine
WHY is the download from the installer so slow?!?!?!

[lofty latch]

Thanks a lot again, i own you one bro 👍🏻

[gritty kindle]

It sounds like you combined the files from this. All the gamma stuff should be in its own folder, and all the anomaly stuff should also be in its own folder. They should be named F:/Anomaly and F:/Gamma (I think the installer may be looking for a specific file name) and they should both be separate on the root of the directory. If your file structure looks that then I don’t think that’s the issue

Also i thought like an actual helper would come help you but they didn’t so here I am too lol

[grim condor]

They are both separate, the only difference being as mentioned that I didn't install them directly on the partition, but inside a file in the partition.

By the way, would it help if I posted my error log here? I read here that its a common error.

[unborn ingot]

My load times tanked after completing Miracle Machine mission. Only info I've been given is I must be lucky to have not already had that issue while playing on HDD.

So... can I move the files to my SSD without breaking everything?

[sharp bough]

!move

[raw raft]

KEEP IN MIND AND REMEMBER THAT THE FOLLOWING FOLDERS ARE -NOT- SUITABLE FOR ANOMALY AND GAMMA, DON'T USE THEM.
Desktop, Downloads, Documents, One Drive, 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 Download G.A.M.M.A. data and then on Full G.A.M.M.A. installation.

Moving Anomaly:
1) Move the Anomaly folder to the new location
2) Go to your GAMMA folder
3) Delete ModOrganizer.ini file. It should be below the ModOrganizer.exe application
4) Launch Mod Organizer (click on the ModOrganizer.exe file in the same GAMMA folder)
5) Press OK, then Browse, then select your Anomaly folder. Done.

[unborn ingot]

Thanks. If you know why the load times spike after that mission, that would be helpful to know as well

[gritty kindle]

Yeah probably you should. In theory someone who was actually appointed to do this job will see it and help

[sharp bough]

no clue. Might be just X-Ray things

im getting a cannot open instance 'portable' the game 'Stalker anomaly' doesn't exist. i played it like a couple of hours ago and now its doin this

[delicate otter]

hello guys just reached the damn pripyat again and the last dawn : find the rogue scout unit apparently decided not to spawn anything xD

all the way until here not a single crash or error or a quest not working ....i was so happy

[sharp bough]

This?
#╭📖faq message

[delicate otter]

wrong quest wrong place im in pripyat not great swamps xD

[odd gale]

when i press unpack on my batteries it doesnt unpack but instead gives me a fully charged batterie? why is that

[sharp bough]

oh, a duuur

[delicate otter]

thing is in the previous playthrough that was borked for a quest i did it right .....now noone is here apparently and it was such a clean run so far.....

[grim condor]

Copying files from the GAMMA installer seems to have done the trick. Thank you Markkuzkiller! Now I need to see if I can restored my older saves.

Someone can help me with my daddysave's crashes? idk why it happens

[sharp bough]

I think I saw how this was fixed. The Engine is running out of memory, I think I can find the fix

[grim condor]

Thank you for trying to help. I have solved it and the game is running again, but the original problem (the reason I uninstalled the game) is still unsolved. Do you think you can help me?

[sharp bough]

That is the fix attached to the crash you had

[eager wagon]

I did a fresh reinstall and now I keep getting the failed shaders crash even when I delete the shaders folder

[grim condor]

I have done this, and the game is running again. Thanks to everyone who helped! Including you of course, but no this didn't solve my original problem.

[eager wagon]

I may have screwed up, I made the Anomaly and GAMMA folders, but I put all the GAMMA RC3 stuff into the GAMMA folder, not a new folder named GAMMA RC3

[sharp bough]

what was the issue again?

[grim condor]

Let me explain. I was fighting in the Rostok arena. I died and the FOV became very close (mouse 5 free zoom issue I suspect). I went to the setting to change the FOV to 80 (the default) but now whenever I get close to anybody, they are a few steps away from me, like the collision box grew or something.

Or it is the game thinking I am still zoomed in. Its a big problem in tight spaces.

[sharp bough]

That's a new one on me, can't help ya there :/

[grim condor]

I can send a picture to try and showcase the issue, but its really annoying me. I thought a fresh reinstall would solve it.

[sharp bough]

This was the possible fix given to the memory issue

[sharp bough]

The issue was that of of the mods might have been corrupted and it fails to load, so the engine keeps trying to load it until it runs out of memory and crashes

[delicate otter]

well i tried to finish the quest with the debugger so unless i input something wrong i dont know what is happening xD

[steep lance]

so ivew been trying to ask this question and its been just overlooked with other questions happening at the same time but i am still not able to download the addons folder have been wondering if they are necessary cause everything seems to be working without the download

[normal gull]

the other copy/paste didnt work, so I'll try with updating the addons

[sharp bough]

I mean... If it works and you have 336 active mods in MO2, there isn't really a problem :/

[steep lance]

okay yea thats what i have i just never downloaded the adddons part just the rc3 so seems like im in the clear was just wondering if im missing out on anything

[north turret]

Sun’s like a nuke, pic taken at 9pm after sunset

[normal gull]

It says I'm up to date with the addons

[north turret]

Turned off or down all sun and lighting options but it didn’t fix it

Any ideas?

[amber rain]

Hi, I had a couple crashes in the Yantar underground tunnel with all the fire and now my game takes ages to load saves and switch zones. Is there anything I can do to fix without reinstalling?

[radiant trellis]

My game crashes very frequently when I receive a lot of shots. And when I shoot with a shotgun to a enemy very close too.
Is there anything I can do to fix it?

[full condor]

I have tried everything, but I think there is no more hope

my game will no longer run at a crisp 60 FPS

🥹

[grim condor]

This is the best I could come up with. I am supposed to get so close that I can touch this person. I did this before, but I can't get closer than this now. There is a clear gap.

[eager wagon]

Ugh... Still stuck in shader compisition failed nightmare land...

[grim condor]

Its like the game still thinks my FOV is zoomed in for some reason.

I am never touching mouse 5 again, lol.

[full condor]

same issue as me? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1029824156289732649/1037847904745955420/unknown.png

I pretty much cannot play the game without DX10

[sharp bough]

that's kind of as close as I can get to the guys. You might have been runing lower FOV and not noticed it cuz I had a similar issue. I don't think the game was designed with 90FOV

[eager wagon]

Nah, I can't even run the game, it just keeps telling me shader composition has failed. I keep deleting the shader cache folder like the guide says, but it does nothing

[full condor]

i'm pretty much stuck in limbo

[grim condor]

I am not exactly experienced with this, lol. What is the optimal FOV? Previously mine was very close to this, from how it looks I mean.

And no I am serious. I was able to get much closer than this. If this person stood on a doorway I wouldn't be able to pass it now, with how wide the collision box is.

[sharp bough]

@eager wagon @full condor I did all I can with my limited knowledge...
I'm not even an intern in this tech support, I just broke in and sat at a desk

[full condor]

it hurts

[sharp bough]

this game is from 2009, back then games with low FOV was a common thing

[cloud epoch]

my game also looks like this

[full condor]

you playing on DX10 or DX11?

[lyric perch]

my stuff is stuck on this 😦

[grim condor]

Well, I mean at this point I think that's all I can try, or many hours of tedious grinding on stalker difficulty is gone. I really am not imagining this, lol.

[junior moon]

for how long?

[sharp bough]

It's not really game changing, just keep it on 90-85 FOV and it should be fine

[cloud epoch]

i tried DX10-AVX and DX11-AVX both times i deleted my shader folder before and it looks the same on both variants

[full condor]

oh damn

[lyric perch]

20+ min

[junior moon]

You can just close the installer and then restart the process, it will then download the missing mods

[lyric perch]

@junior moon wont i get the MDB lock

[eager wagon]

I found something to try, will let y'all know if it works

[junior moon]

As as you don't do a full install more than twice per hour you are practically guaranteed to not be flagged as a bot

[lyric perch]

I have already restarted once this hour lol

it was stuck on the same thing last time too

[junior moon]

Just wait a bit then, GAMMA can take several days to fully install if you are unlucky (took me 3).
Also, remember to launch the installer as admin and temporarily disable your antivirus for the duration of the installation.

[lyric perch]

@junior moon i dont have one besides the basic windows one, but i didnt disable it. maybe thats it

[junior moon]

Could be yes, most AV just quietly block random files in the install process, seemingly at random.
The modpack should be safe, I performed a virus total scan on the majority of the files some weeks ago, although some mods have changed since then.

[eager wagon]

I wonder if that's the issue I'm having as well... I was able to run the game the first time I installed it, but I noticed a bunch of mods seemed to be not working correctly and my performance was awful

[lyric perch]

the first time i ever installed it it worked for like 5 min and crashed lol

[eager wagon]

I was playing the crap out of it before, but the performance was making it really hard to fight things properly

[lyric perch]

I gave up and just played og anaomly but beat it last night and really wanna get this working lol

[eager wagon]

Is there a huge difference between the 2? I've never played through Anomaly or the OG games. I tried to play through the first OG game, but I had no idea what I was doing lol.

[lyric perch]

Oh man, Ive played em all lmao except gamma. But My understanding is gamma makes the anaomly experiance vastly different

Anomaly is a lot like the orignal games, it essentially combines the first 3 together into one with some modded story slighly to make it work

[eager wagon]

Ah ok, but GAMMA is where all the cool crafting and sandbox progression elements come in

[lyric perch]

my understanding is it makes it feel more like tarky and a lot more hardcore. which by the way, the only reason i started playing EFT was because of my love of stalker lol

[eager wagon]

Ironically, other way around for me. Loved Tarkov so much and loved the idea for where the game is trying to head. GAMMA seems like it emulates that endgame goal.

[lyric perch]

the end game goal of tarky is supposed to feel a little like stalker, if the original roadmap is still in play

[cloud epoch]

i got it working for me. i did the #old-framerate-optimisation until step 3 now. the part with "Beef’s NVG - Patch ES" could be better phrased.

i backed up the original
checked

1. Beef's NVGs
2. Beef's NVGs - Patch (Only ES No SSR)

And then i deleted the shader cache
Now the level loads with textures.

Also the following addons i disabled:

• Screen Space Shaders - Ascii1457
• Shaders Cumulative Pack for GAMMA

[eager wagon]

GG

[cloud epoch]

still got only 15 fps but at least im one step closer 😅

[ember flower]

Hello peeps, I am getting some gnarly stutters while playing. Any easy fixes?

[eager wagon]

Gotta get those numbers up. Those are rookie numbers!

I'm well into a day worth of trying to solve that exact issue. Luckily, now I've got even more issues to solve!

[royal vortex]

!stutter

[raw raft]

1. Update G.A.M.M.A. to the latest version (open the installer with admin rights, click on Download 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)

[hollow ledge]

i cant seem to reload my gun, i have mags redux disabled and with it enabled i still cant reload not even from my inventory

[ember flower]

oh thanks boss

[hollow ledge]

ive tried with other guns too

[bronze obsidian]

I set mutants spawn to 0 on zcp but some still spawn. Is there a way to remove them entirely?

[surreal coyote]

so uh

[royal vortex]

Wait, do you have mags redux on or off

[hollow ledge]

off

[surreal coyote]

i know grok wants us to enjoy his mod pack. and to know it was him who made it

[cloud plinth]

Does anyone know a fix for this, my game keeps on crashing when loading into a new game and gives me this error

[royal vortex]

Try to save > reload

[surreal coyote]

but this seems like some slightly excessive advertizing

huh. why didn't that embed. whatever.

when i scope in, this happens

one could call this slightly problematic to the task of using a sniper rifle.

as the video shows, its just an image overlay. i can still aim and move around

[weak sable]

Does the box i put down from the furniture mod count as a stash for when i use the ironman roguelike mod ?

[hollow ledge]

just tried this and it did nothing

[north turret]

try checking your keybind maybe?

[royal vortex]

Double check your keybinds

[cloud plinth]

I really need some help with this I cant play the game

[noble stratus]

my gamma profile isnt there, am i doing something wrong

[hollow ledge]

which keybind should i check? i dont see a reload keybind anywhere in the settings

[hollow ledge]

how do i make the txt file as my profile?

[slender nest]

I've had this issue before, if I recall all u gotta do is hit f5 to quick save then hit f9 to load the save then it will fix it I think

[warped ginkgo]

stop messing with the fov

you probably set it to 120

[dusky quarry]

anyone know what the "GAMMA No Masks Textures" mod actually does?

[oak kiln]

Can somebody help me with crashes? Already did full install 5 minutes ago but the game keep on crashing like 5 minutes into the game.

[cloud plinth]

Yea I managed to figure it out

[marsh gulch]

I have a stuck sound problem, any idea on how to solve that? loading different saves doesn't solves it

[terse hawk]

if ur talking about the burers then u have to restart

[terse hawk]

nice only took you 15 different people telling uou that

[marsh gulch]

it is their sound but I even restarted the PC and it still does it

[terse hawk]

dafaq? maybe there's another burer somewhere?

[marsh gulch]

there are no enemies whatsoever around

[brisk zinc]

Change map?

Load another save previous to that?

It happened to me as well and those are the fixes

[marsh gulch]

I tried loading different saves, I haven't tryied changing maps

changing map did it, thanks

Hi all guys, hope i'm not writing in the wrong section. My game has recently started to crash after 4/5 minutes of gameplay and i wouldn't know why since everything has been going smoothly for me (started as loner in cordon and got to pripyat, have already a lot of hours of gameplay), and the only additional mods that i have enabled are the magazine one, mags buyable at t., and ammo check (i disabled gamma reload/unjam) for a total of 338 mods active since the beginning of my playthrough. Thank you in advance!

[rustic bone]

Probably mask overlay

Not graphics

[royal wharf]

Sorry I dont understand what you mean O.o

[rustic bone]

You wear a helmet, there is mask overlay

It's a basic setting you can turn off

[rustic bone]

I can't read it on mobile but you need to post crash log

!crash

[raw raft]

Send your crash log where it was asked, not inside the #🤖bot-commands if you're here right now.
It's inside your Anomaly folder, this is the complete path: Anomaly/appdata/logs.
This is what you could find:

1. xray_yournamehere.txt
2. xray_yournamehere.log
3. xray_yournamehere

You just need to send this file where it was asked, drag and drop inside the Discord channel, Discord will handle it for you.
Make sure you're not using any extra mods.

[west magnet]

Does disabling the gamma sniper remover cause any issues or does it just allow snipers to spawn?

[brisk zinc]

It's about a specific bug from what I remember, don't touch it

[west magnet]

Aight. Just making sure

[prime fulcrum]

turn on fullscreen if you're playing in borderless

[royal wharf]

Already do

[prime fulcrum]

borderless is giving you this tint and it's eating your fps

[rustic bone]

Pretty sure that's mask overlay lol

[prime fulcrum]

look at the corners in both of those pics, the mask overlay is there no matter the hud mode

[rustic bone]

Oh in top left I see that

Interesting

[royal wharf]

What is interesting is there is no auto-expsosure going on when I'm close to things and it's really bugging me as I'd like to take pics but shouldn't need to change my visual gamma each time I want to :(

He has different psi and companion health bars than I do or did that get updated

oh thank you thank you

[unique silo]

my animations are bugged and i can not see them, but from what i can tell they are turned 90 degrees clockwise to the camera how do i fix this?

[opal veldt]

there wouldn't happen to be a way to zoom out the minimap would there?

[prime fulcrum]

scroll wheel on your mouse

[royal wharf]

My NVG's broke, can't change the brightness or use the torch mode :( restarting game fixed it, thought I broke something so that's why I posted here

[opal veldt]

that changes my weapon

[prime fulcrum]

oh, i thought you meant the PDA minimap

[opal veldt]

nah the one on the top left

[wraith holly]

I think I may have gotten "Path to Pripyat" quest in a softlock.
I progressed through the tunnels, however the quest is still stuck and says Rogue needs to guide me through them.
Am I fucked?

[lofty latch]

I only have 270 enabled mods, the missing ones are not disabled but not installed
I deleted the entire GAMMA RC3 folder and started from 0 and this i what i got
WHY THE FUCK DID I UPDATED!!!!!!

Everything was working perfectly until i updated

[prime fulcrum]

https://www.moddb.com/ open this and screenshot

[prime fulcrum]

!full

[raw raft]

A Full GAMMA Installation does NOT remove saves, nor does it mean you are redownloading everything and it won't delete anything at all.
A full install will simply check every mod in the pack, and any that need to be updated will be updated.

To Perform this follow these steps:

1. Open your G.A.M.M.A. installer as admin
2. Click "Download G.A.M.M.A. data"
3. Click "Full G.A.M.M.A. installation"

[prime fulcrum]

screenshot the errors in the black console window while you'll be doing the full gamma installation

[lofty latch]

But if i do it again now, ill get flaged as a bot

ill try

[prime fulcrum]

did you do the full installation like 5 minutes ago?

[lofty latch]

yes, like 10 mins ago
FULL install

[brazen crystal]

just wanted to show my appreciation for the smooth gif demonstrating the issue, and the updates you provided to this post to make it easy to search ❤️

[lofty latch]

Another thing is that the download speed for the GAMMA data (the big button) is extremely low, 40kbps max
However, it isn't my internet because I can watch videos on YouTube and is working properly

[prime fulcrum]

wait

wait

click download gamma data

and screenshot the installer

[lofty latch]

this download speed never goes beyond 70kbps

usually 20~40kbps

and add that this is a 470MB file

[opal veldt]

which part of the "dynamic news" do I need to disable to get people to shut up about strelok?

[keen cedar]

do you have hamachi? if you do, turn it off

[lofty latch]

The installer downloads from ModDB faster, but still never uses all my broadband

[lofty latch]

i don't have anything of that sort

[prime fulcrum]

wait until it finishes

and then click download gamma data again

and screenshot again

[lofty latch]

The thing is that it never finishes downloading, sometimes i get a 98MB file and others a 139MB one

[prime fulcrum]

the thing is that it should be 466mb

[lofty latch]

One user shared his file, because i asked for someone to help me, 477mb
this is the one i used and i got those 270 mods

[lofty latch]

Can you share yours?
Via Dropbox or something else?

[prime fulcrum]

just wait

you're already doing the data install

[lofty latch]

I'll wait, but i can bet you my left nut it will never complete the download

Why is this download so slow?

It's from GitHub, right?

I could understand ModDB, but i don get GitHub

[prime fulcrum]

yes

https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA

try manually downloading it

as zip

[twilit rock]

I cant toggle zoom on binos or scopes. Is this normal? I push V. but it only zooms one way. Then i have to put the binos down to reset the zoom? Thanks in advance

[lofty latch]

It's CODE and then Download as ZIP?

[lofty latch]

Yes, tanks, and yes is GitHub, my DS is only 60kbps max

However, I'm using IDM, so no matter what, the download will finish properly

[dry crag]

how i can see the fps in game? is possible?

[delicate plume]

msi afterburner

[lofty latch]

ETA 2 and a half hours

[prime fulcrum]

your internet

ETA 4 minutes

man

[lofty latch]

No bro
I'm watching YouTube and other things just normaly

[prime fulcrum]

it's fine for me

your internet provider limiting GitHub then for some reason

[lofty latch]

Then I don't know what it is
I guess ill install tomorrow

[lofty latch]

I don't think so
Why would they do that?

[prime fulcrum]

i have no idea

but it is just your internet

[radiant egret]

Hey new stalker here. ive booted gamma and can play but everything is black. ive tried deleting my shaders cache and using the command cfg_load grading_warm but noting is working. any tips?

[sullen stone]

Any reason why I’m seeing free stalkers randomly attacking ecologists? It goes like this - firefight ensues, idk who starts it. Stalker kills ecologist first (I think) then ecologists kill that stalker. Then all the other stalkers nearby start attacking ecologists but don’t get shot back at until they kill one. Repeat until either all free stalkers or all ecologists in the area are dead. My companions do not seem to join in these fights (they and I are all free stalkers)

[lofty latch]

It doesn't matter, ill just have to wait for it
I didn't know it was possible to download this file this way tho
I only got told to make modlist.txt

[blazing ravine]

anyone have this issue when extracting gamma_addons_downloads?

[blissful lion]

!zip

[raw raft]

This problem is already known, the zip isn't a FULL ULTIMATE SOLUTION 9000, it's just a way to reduce clogs on Moddb.
The error is normal, don't worry about it, use the installer, you'll get the mods.

[noble stratus]

anyknone know the reason why some of the addons are missing? madirex made a steps and i did all of it, and still the same thing over and over. i also have AV disabled so idk whats going on

To clean your "Shader Cache", don't use the option in the Anomaly launcher.

im having an issue with the default scar H ammo wheel, it only displays m203 grenades, even without an underslung launcher. seems like its only the scar as i havent seen it on the plethora of other guns ive used so far

it otherwise functions fine, i just cant swap from ball ammo to ap

[cerulean hawk]

Yantar science/ecologist technician missing. Did a few searches here to find a reason for the issue, maybe upping the ZCP pop caused them to disappear?

yes

ecos can be accompanied by merc bodyguards, and once one member of a squad is aggroed, the whole squad is aggroed

[split flower]

after more testing its specifically the fngl40 attachment thats broken. the entire gun functions as normal until i load a grenade into it, which is properly consumed, but none of the grenades in my inventory are counted on the ammo wheel. using new m203 grenades fixes the issue, but the attachment doesn't count the old ones properly

[tribal roost]

i did that did not do anything for me

[spark nimbus]

did you install 1.5.2

[noble stratus]

can u help me about my issue

[royal wharf]

I did this before logging off and sadly it didn't work :(

[marsh gulch]

nimble doesn't seems to recognise I have an SVU to trade

EDIT: Figured it out, it needs the gun and every part at 100% which is a big flaw because the game won't even let players repair parts that are at 99%

[west falcon]

my obj markers on my PDA dissapeared... help

[unborn ingot]

Is there something special I have to do to use the companion inventory unlock mod? I still can't see their hidden inventories

[keen cedar]

make sure you actually equipped your PDA and not some dead stalker's PDA

[west falcon]

@keen cedar it was the filter on it, I somehow turned off objective markers. Thanks tho.

[long yoke]

hey quick question, are all scopes supposed to be green or i am color blind?

[rustic bone]

Open and Screenshot mo2

Don't ping a mod then stop responding lol @noble stratus

[rustic bone]

You can take parts off the gun and repair them with files and ramrod to get 100% parts, but yeah I feel you

[marsh gulch]

if they are at 99% you can't, the item won't be recognised as damaged for some weird reason

that was specifically my issue, I couldn't repair one of the parts to test out if that was the issue, I was lucky the mechanic was selling a brand new part to test it out and that was it

[rustic bone]

Hmm, well at least maintain I know sets it to 99, files and ramrod can get 100%. I get that your parts are already 99 though.

[marsh gulch]

yup, files and ramrods can get it to 100%, but the part needs to be more damaged than 99% or when you click it and select use the part won't show up because the game doesn't recognises it as being damaged

hey guys, hope this is the right channel, started playing gamma a week ago, stopped cuz I didnt have time to commit myself, now wanted to open it again (without me having changed anything) error says " [error]Arguments : Duplicate section 'item_ea_take_hud' wasn't marked as an override.

Check this file and its DLTX mods: c:/games/anomaly/bin/..\gamedata\configs\system.ltx, mod file items_anm_take.ltx"
didnt find that one in "before you post" thread, any helpers?

its the 4th time i tried installing gamma, so its kinda annoying me

im not a complete newbie to coding and stuff, would it actually suffice if I put the "!" in front of the line mentioned as directory?

[rustic bone]

override isnt something normally used but we were discussing an issue with that file earlier, as it doesnt even show up in default modlist, you didnt add any mods?

Send your crash log where it was asked, not inside the #🤖bot-commands if you're here right now.

This is what you could find:

1. xray_yournamehere.txt

2. Open the zip, you'll see 4 folders and a text file
3. SELECT the content of this archive (4 folders and a .txt file)
4. DRAG AND DROP the content of this archive inside your Anomaly folder
5. OVERWRITE everything when asked to do so
6. Open the installer with admin rights
7. Click on Download G.A.M.M.A. data AND THEN CLICK Full G.A.M.M.A. Installation

IF YOU HAVE THE ENTIRE UPDATE FOLDER NAMED Anomaly-1.5.1-to-1.5.2-Update IN YOUR ANOMALY FOLDER, THE GAME IS NOT UPDATED.

you sent 1.5.2 update

not k98

god dammit

why you do this

i am in the process of reinstalling everything lol

Anyone know what this could be linked to?

[heavy yacht]

uploading log again in case you ask for it again xP

usually missing vssk mod

or need to reinstall it

(or full update your game if you havent already)

[bronze mica]

Okee I'll try that

[lofty latch]

270 mods enabled
fresh FULL installation from 0 (GAMMA RC3 folder deleted)
in the mods folder, there are 342 folders

[prime fulcrum]

launch installer - download gamma data - screenshot the installer

[lofty latch]

By the way, I'm using the file i manually downloaded from GitHub

[bronze mica]

I'll probably have to re-do the #old-framerate-optimisation, Right? Or is that all saved in user.ltx?

[lofty latch]

It's downloading faster now

[rustic bone]

got it btw just dont know what the fix for this error is

[prime fulcrum]

you had to rename the zip to GAMMA_definition.zip, put it into GAMMA RC3\.Grok’s Modpack Installer (deleting/overwriting the old one), then run the installer again

[rustic bone]

depends on which steps you mean, but possibly

[lofty latch]

i did all of that

[heavy yacht]

fixed it, as said in the log, searching for the file "c:/games/anomaly/bin/..\gamedata\configs\system.ltx, mod file items_anm_take.ltx" and changing the line "[item_ea_take_hud]" to "(![item_ea_take_hud])" fixed it @rustic bone

[prime fulcrum]

screenshot the GAMMA RC3.Grok’s Modpack Installer folder

[rustic bone]

in the system.ltx file or you actually had a items_anm_take.ltx ?

[heavy yacht]

the actual items_anm_take ltx

[rustic bone]

can you show me where that was because its not even in my default mods

[lofty latch]

it almost finishes downloading

[fervent smelt]

im not able to talk to downed stalkers like interrogate them for info, is this removed in gamma?

[heavy yacht]

just type it in the search field, thats how I found it, ill do it again and DM you the directory

[rustic bone]

yeah thats what I mean, me and other helpers dont have the file

[prime fulcrum]

you can only talk to some of them

[fervent smelt]

i havent been able to talk to anyone yet and ive been playing for 4 days

now click download gamma data again

what it'll say?

Weird... So I just have to deal with the constant crashing?

[prime fulcrum]

the log doesn't say why it's crashing, so yes

[lofty latch]

Just an observation, inside the mods directory, there are 342 folders

It's installing for now

[prime fulcrum]

and it has to be 426

[lofty latch]

Ohhh, ok
I tough it was the correct number

Do i send you the log of the install after it finishes?

[prime fulcrum]

sure

[noble stratus]

@rustic bone which?

[lofty latch]

I don't know what the FUCK happened, but i got 336 enabled now
JESUS CHRIST!!!

[noble stratus]

didnt meant to double ping

[bronze mica]

I figured it out. I did the full reinstall but that wasn't the problem. For some reason the VSSK reanimation and remodel mod was disabled. I re-enabled it and the game works fine.

sparkler artefact drops from 100% condition to 5% when i move it to my inventory

it sounds like it just changed out the item for its GAMMA equivalent

you may see other items briefly in the inventory (and then they kinda like hiccup)and they get changed

because 100% artifacts dont usually drop. you can only buy them iirc

Sorry, I tried to edit my original post to update the file since it's linked in the FAQ question, but I couldn't do that, nor do I want to bother @brisk zinc too many times, so I have to post this again, with a minor update added in.

Original post:
Next big update. Added guide to spawn Beard & the Loner Medic in Skadovsk, Zaton (took a bit of digging to figure these 2 out).

Added guide to spawn Trapper, Nitro & Cardan in Jupiter Station.

Added guide to spawn Hermann, Ozersky & Tukarev in Scientiest Bunker, Jupiter

Added guide to spawn the 2 bandit NPCs in Container Warehouse in Jupiter.

So that's everyone I can find in these 2 maps.

PS: also added Aslan and Medic for the Merc in Dead City

And here's the explanation for the limitations of spawning NPCs:

Tried multiple times over to do the troubleshooting for the busy hands bug, and it has gotten so bad it makes my game unplayable.

Hi team, good morning! I'm having a reoccurring issue. So, when there is a group of bandits or mercenaries, renegades etc. sitting next to a camp fire, and I kill one of them with a headshot (while they are unaware, and please note: it's not a gun with silencer ) the others will simply stand up and freeze. If I shoot the others, most of the times they won't react at all. I can go to them and speak and sometimes they'll start shooting sometimes they'll give me missions. Does anyone know a fix or a workaround for this, please?

did you turn on a mod

[frigid wyvern]

It is 100% Vanilla save for the name fix as far as I'm aware

240- Anomaly's Name Update for Stalkers ANUS - Grulag <---This one

[prime fulcrum]

well, then your save is broken

[frigid wyvern]

I've had that on the whole time since the beginning... Well that's fun

Alright then I appreciate it

[viral pilot]

Ya. Busyhands really sucks.

I lost at least two saves to it before they cut off the animations package.

[frigid wyvern]

Time for the clear sky playthrough I wanted to do, cheers fellas

Hey guys, sorry if this is the wrong section to post in but does anyone know how to disable the timer save mode after starting a playthough? (if that's possible). Realised I don't always have time to wait around for half an hour in a camp/by a fire to save my game.

[rugged belfry]

Hideout furniture placeable workshop has also a stash. I've stored artifacts inside of it and had 5 signets now there is 1, also had 3 balls and now there is 1. Unfortunately I constantly quicksave so I don't have a save where I had them intact. Spike for example didn't vaporize had 2 and there is still 2.

[compact ridge]

can i ask about installation here?

[red oak]

encountered a problem where all my tasks are suddenly completed including main mission

is there a way to fix this?

[wide lichen]

idk if you can adjust those settings once you create the game, but if you hit open console (`) and type save does it work?

might be a work around

[wide lichen]

what is your question there may be better channels but can direct you there

[wide lichen]

did you enable the unlimited stash weight mid save?
or craft something with them using the workshop menu?

[deep hearth]

my food and thirst** and sleep bars seem to be all messed up when I go to look in my inventory they are going past their base area for the screen does anyone know about this issue?

my game just crashed and gave me this error:

[red oak]

all my saves are doing it too

[mossy saffron]

anyone know how to fix this?

oh also this

[red wraith]

It froze first, then crashed while running with a SF receive in hand. Anyone to take a look, please?

[mossy saffron]

wait i also think my whole games fucked

cant drink water or anything

rip save file.

[velvet nexus]

I can no longer open my PDA or draw my weapons. My keyboard works fine. I can't run around, crouch, jump. Just TAB and none of my number keys do anything. Help

*I can walk around, crouch, jump!

[viral pilot]

!busyhands

[raw raft]

DO NOT ENABLE any of the disabled animations. These are the root cause of multiple animation loops that can break the game, to the point where you have to delete your current save file.
This bug is called "busy hands", an animation loop that prevents the player from interacting with the action keys, except for movement. This bug can also and especially be found with vanilla animations. Try not to spam them.

If you are still unsure whether you have it or not, try to do any of the following:

• interact with objects or people
• use a weapon (you shouldn't even be able to see it when you select it)
• open your inventory
• drink/eat/sleep
• check your HUD in the bottom left corner

If you cannot do any of this, it probably means you do have busy hands.

The only possible way to, maybe, remove it completely, is to disable any extra activated animation that was previously disabled. You will also have to go back to a previous save where you are 100% sure that you don't have busy hands.

Certified DISABLED animations that bring busy hands:

• Opening/closing backpack and any option related to this
• Animation for skinning mutants
• Disassembling objects with Left-Alt pressed
• Picking up objects where you can see the hand movement

[atomic widget]

busy hand bug. Best bet, reset your MCM settings, then reload the current save. If that doesn't help, try finding the save before this happened and load it

[mossy saffron]

will try

[atomic widget]

oh, and by "reset MCM settings", i mean bring them back to default, and load your save with the default options

[velvet nexus]

man, I don't have any of those animations enabled. wtf

[mossy saffron]

yeah

[viral pilot]

This bug can also and especially be found with vanilla animations. Try not to spam them.

This is a vanilla Anomaly issue and has existed for years.

[frank kindle]

was just walking through yantar, and got trapped in an invisible barrier around the bonfire anomaly

[viral pilot]

Not specific to GAMMA.

[velvet nexus]

what does spam them mean? what animations?

like jumping a lot?

[viral pilot]

Change weapons, pull out PDA, pull out binoculars, etc.

Anything involving hand animations.

Or so I understand it.

[atomic widget]

not necessarily, everytime GAMMA is updated, if you reuse your MCM settings by using the method already stated here, there's a chance you will have busy hand bug even if that was never a thing. So, if even you can backup and restore your MCM settings after updating GAMMA, you shouldn't use it. Either play with the default GAMMA MCM values, or you can set these values again manually. I know because it happened to me so many times

[mossy saffron]

so the crashing stopped, busy hands is still there.

[velvet nexus]

wild. all my quick saves are like this now. even though I definitely had access to PDA before.

[mossy saffron]

i reloaded to a save which i know didnt have it.

and i reset the MCM settings in game

clicked default, reset,default,reset,default. just to be sure

yet no dice.

[viral pilot]

For testing, if you start a new game, does it all work fine?

Verify it is the save and not your game install^

[mossy saffron]

kk

will start a new save and check

just the save.

made a new game, drank water fine, opened pda fine, everything fine.

why does this happen to me

[atomic widget]

the default MCM settings are reinstated everytime GAMMA is fully reinstalled. There is another method to get the default MCM settings (the setting intended by Grok for GAMMA, not by hitting the default button), but I'm too lazy to point that out

[mossy saffron]

ah

[atomic widget]

try a full reinstallation, then load your save with the default MCM settings that came with it. If the busy hand bug is no longer there, then you already know the culprit

[mossy saffron]

full reinstallation? how can i do that without removing the save, move the save to a folder?

[viral pilot]

I believe Marshall is suggesting using the GAMMA install tool and the full install button?

Which does not delete saves.

[atomic widget]

a full reinstallation doesn't affect your saves, so you don't need to do anything about that. Your MCM settings will be reset to the default values that Grok intended, which means you might not need to reload a save prior to when the busy hand became a problem

[viral pilot]

!update

[raw raft]

In order to update your G.A.M.M.A. installation, YOU DON'T NEED TO DELETE ANYTHING, don't delete anything WITHOUT A GOOD REASON or at least ASK FIRST.

1. Open the installer with admin rights and make sure you have the newest version, which is 3.8. You can get it here if you don't have it: <#📢announcements message>
2. Click Download GAMMA data, wait for it to say "done"
3. Choose between Full G.A.M.M.A. installation" OR Only install G.A.M.M.A. Addons.
   Before you ask: NO, YOU DON'T NEED TO CLICK THEM BOTH. ONLY ONE. AND NO YOU WON'T DOWNLOAD EVERYTHING AGAIN.
   If you're missing something in your mod list, you will, of course.

It really depends on WHAT DO YOU NEED and WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. So, if you don't know the difference, learn it here: <#╭📖faq message>

This is because MOST OF THE TIME, NOT ALWAYS, Only install G.A.M.M.A. Addons is what you need to do, but it really depends.
You can click on Full G.A.M.M.A. installation if you haven't updated for a long time OR if you're missing mods.

Check frequently #📢announcements because Grok will ALWAYS says in that channel what you need to do and what's needed to do.

[viral pilot]

Going through the steps as noted above. It will reset your mod list, keybinds, and settings to vanilla gamma settings.

[mossy saffron]

oh wait using the gamma installer? i thought you meant delete everything and start again

or is that what you mean

idfk

[atomic widget]

not at all. If it were, I wouldn't even need to tell you that much

just follow what Glendening said above, then load your save with vanilla settings. If things work again, you can set your MCM values to what they were before, MANUALLY, that's all I say

good luck

[mossy saffron]

oh shit didnt even see this msg

FULL GAMMA INSTALLATION SHALL COMMENCE

[red oak]

anyone able to help me with my game completing all tasks the moment i load?

[rugged belfry]

I didn't use the workshop, i didn't enable anything mid save. I had a problem with loading the game earlier tho because I was unticking core 0 mid loading screen and it once crashed my game even, (so i do that immidiately now).

[red oak]

this happened after i updated

im getting this on my logs:

[atomic widget]

Sounds like a bunch of task failures, not completion. This doesn't look like anything I've seen on this channel before. Best course of action is, backtracking your previous saves, aka, try loading them. Any save loaded successfully that doesn't fail these task is the one you should stay with. If it happens again, hopefully someone can help

[viral pilot]

I've seen this problem a few times in here but I can't find it for the life of me at the moment.

I also have covid so my brain sucks right now.

@red oak have you added or enabled any mods on your own?

[red oak]

it says complete when i load then nothing

[red oak]

nope, 336 mods only

[red oak]

This was not an issue until i had a playthrough right after updating where i loaded in from army warehouses to rostok and i suddenly had all my tasks complete. then when i tried to go back to previous saves it happened again.

[viral pilot]

It's likely whatever changed with the mod update broke those particular tasks or how they are coded.

I'm not braining enough at the moment to know exactly what caused it. But I swear this issue has been gone over for others before.

[rich wharf]

this is my current crashlog.

I have no idea what the issue is but the game freezes every so often and i have to force close it through task.

[north turret]

last thing the log mentions is the player taking damage; did you just get hit before it freezes?
not sure what would cause a freeze there

[rich wharf]

it always seems to crash during combat like something is taking place and my game is either missing something or my pc is missing something to run whatever effect is suppose to happen and i crash

yea i got domed by a sniper and i went into cover, then popped my head out to shoot him back and it froze

[north turret]

the simplest solution for troubleshooting would be to run the installer again to make sure nothing is missing

[red oak]

any post logs on how it was resolved?

[narrow sparrow]

!default reset everything to default and see if the issue is still there

[raw raft]

Mod list
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.ltx will be reverted to default)
3. Paste this file in Anomaly\appdata

[rich wharf]

could changing the keybinds be an issue?

[north turret]

keybinds shouldn't conflict with anything

[narrow sparrow]

Unlikely, but reset everything to default

[north turret]

!backup I suggest backing up these files so you don't lose any settings you have in case you do the reinstall

[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

[narrow sparrow]

What i suspect is the Actor Damage Mod is causing the crash

[distant pumice]

Is there anyway to restore common squads after you delete em ?

[narrow sparrow]

Load a save before deleting them

[rich wharf]

ok i did the default reinstall of addons, it took literaly 2 seconds so i don't think it needed to download anything hopefully this does something?

[distant pumice]

Oh yeah I'm too far into the progress to do that stuff again. Guess I'll have to continue then.

[narrow sparrow]

Try and see if it still crashes

[rich wharf]

it's random when it happens some combat nothing goes wrong, sometimes it crashes

[viral pilot]

I don't see that any were resolved. I'm having trouble digging them up for some reason. Guess my memory is fried from being sick.
Things to try at this moment would be loading the installer as admin > download update data > install add-ons
This will refresh and restore some defaults. If that doesn't get your tasks working. It might be something wrong with the base Anomaly install or so Menippos has suggested.

[red oak]

will do. although i think Menippos was talking to Kazuma. I'll do a full reinstall too though. sounds like the next best step. thanks for taking the time to reply!

[viral pilot]

I meant we had a conversation about the issue outside of this channel.

Sorry for not being clear about that.

[red oak]

no probs. that means a full re-install if the add-on installation fails?

[crisp geode]

Flashlight issue: I have to HOLD my L button for the light to keep shining, it's not a toggle for some weird reason. Any ideas how to fix that?

[viral pilot]

Correct. Make sure you hit download gamma data before just to make sure when you hit install it has the most up to date data.

[viral pilot]

... This was fixed 2 weeks ago? Have you updated your gamma install recently?

[crisp geode]

I did a full reinstall only 30 minutes ago actually (i.e. hit the top right button in the gamma modpack installer)

[narrow sparrow]

Did you download the gamma data before the install?

[viral pilot]

Gotta hit the middle button (update gamma data) before hitting the buttons on the right.

[crisp geode]

was just about to ask, no I didn't, will do it now, thx!

done, thx for the headsup

[compact ridge]

i get this error when i try to run the game (cannot open instance portable ; failed to read INI file ) any idea?
and the file is a notpad named modorganizer

[narrow sparrow]

Go to the gamma folder
delete the Modorganizer.ini
open Mo2 as admin
remake the instance

[viral pilot]

Also looks like you have a Newcomer role. Which suggests you haven't followed all of the setup steps or have missed some of the steps.

[compact ridge]

me? yeh i haven't run the game yet "successfully"

[brisk zinc]

Ping me anytime you have this thing updated my man, it's not a problem at all

It's better for me

I can't find shit half of the time

If you ping me I can just check mentions

[atomic widget]

good to know

[maiden thistle]

can somebody help? the icons for this tasks are gone on the map, cant pin the location too

[compact ridge]

so i have 306 mods should i activate the other 30 manually ؟

[narrow sparrow]

!full nope do another full install

[raw raft]

A Full GAMMA Installation does NOT remove saves, nor does it mean you are redownloading everything and it won't delete anything at all.
A full install will simply check every mod in the pack, and any that need to be updated will be updated.

To Perform this follow these steps:

1. Open your G.A.M.M.A. installer as admin
2. Click "Download G.A.M.M.A. data"
3. Click "Full G.A.M.M.A. installation"

[red oak]

ok so i tried re-installing but i am still getting the error of tasks being marked as completed

[narrow sparrow]

Reinstalled Anomaly and Gamma?

[red oak]

just gamma. i have to do anomaly too?

[narrow sparrow]

Yeah Anomaly's Task manager might be broken

Backup your saves first

[red oak]

curiously it also wiped my achievments

!save

If you want to back up your saves, go into: Anomaly/appdata/ and backup the folder called savedgames

!delete

[viral pilot]

I forget where because I don't have the game open in front of me. But you can absolutely turn that off in the... I don't know if it was the settings or the MCM settings.

But you can turn it off in game.

You can also adjust the time it takes and ranges it works at.

Guys i need a command to finish the radar mission without actually doing it because am having a glitch when i finished it manually by disabling the psy thing , i actually doesn't get any other mission after that even after getting that document in the lab still doesn't give me any mission , i actually did go to professor in YANTAR and he doesn't seem to care about the document that i found in RADAR , so please react to this msg so that GROK and the STAFF team can help me , i didn't play gamma for a week and i am getting depression because of that ..

@viral pilot yeah I saw tose settings when I initially installed GAMMA but can't find then now LOL

[viral pilot]

There are some settings that only show when you are in a loaded game.

[open basin]

@viral pilot Thx, I am in game rn. So you suggest to look through game settings not MCM

[viral pilot]

!task

Having problems with a certain task? #╭📖faq message

I'm not sure. Hold on. I'm launching the game to look as well.

this instance i cleaned up a fight and it just kicked the bucket

!crash ⬇️

[raw raft]

Send your crash log where it was asked, not inside the #🤖bot-commands if you're here right now.
It's inside your Anomaly folder, this is the complete path: Anomaly/appdata/logs.
This is what you could find:

1. xray_yournamehere.txt
2. xray_yournamehere.log
3. xray_yournamehere

You just need to send this file where it was asked, drag and drop inside the Discord channel, Discord will handle it for you.
Make sure you're not using any extra mods.

[inland cedar]

can you actually come and help me please because i didn't really understand when read it

[viral pilot]

The final error in the log is non specific but I am seeing a variety of errors through out the log while you played.
Have you installed any custom mods or enabled mods that were not enabled by default?

[hardy oxide]

which version of the brain scorcher mission are you doing?

[tight lion]

I'm in and I've gotten the game running. I wouldn't even be able to tell if everything was working correctly but I noticed that the #📍577-mods-in-mo2 channel is empty for me. Is there anything I should know? A tutorial I followed has 334, I imagine the mod just updated since then?

[jolly dawn]

i have enabled the Agressor reshade and the Death Animations

[dull dome]

336 was fixed as i understand

Because I don't see any known specific error and the stack trace is completely useless.

at address 0x00000001405534CC```
My only suggestion I can make is to refresh your GAMMA install via the GAMMA installer. Launch it as admin > update GAMMA data > Install add-ons or Full install.

[dull dome]

Did you try to recomplete radar from old save?

[white cargo]

i tried veryfing the installed anomaly version and this came up, is this bad?
