Not everyone has the same idea of "fun"

@timid edge It be hard to find lol

[charred rivet]

Understanable but that basically removes other gamplay mechanics since you can already access staches from anywhere aslong as your in that zone. Just buy backpacks and use them for infinite storage.

No reason to why you need everything on you at all times, that would basically remove the gamplay and dificulty.

[glossy trout]

Oh no I definitely agree it'll break some things, including immersion, which is my favorite thing about this game

[willow hawk]

Progression will be fucked up but the game will work

[glossy trout]

But hey, if he likes it he likes it

[willow hawk]

In the game folder

[charred rivet]

i mean fair

[glossy trout]

Dang, I was afraid of that.. I appreciate the answer!

[willow hawk]

p = gray 0 blabla

[charred rivet]

i recorded that alrady, but i have no idea what to look for

want me to post the video here?

[willow hawk]

Anomaly/appdata/logs/log_name.txt

[charred rivet]

i know that

but don't know what to look for since it's so long

[timid edge]

i'm tired of babysitting my carry weight, i just want to add more, is there no way? Maybe @willow hawk could help?

[charred rivet]

There's alot of random errors like this tbh

[charred rivet]

Or

you can ask people in the anomly discord

[timid edge]

I tried looking in the skill mod but i cant make sense of what a "key" is to the script

[charred rivet]

since that's a anomaly thing and not related to this mod

also

i wouldn't condone infinite carry weight because the longjevity of the game is not gonna be fun

[timid edge]

there's no files i can manipulate in my game folder. otherwise i would just change the number there. They're all packed or something and i have no program to unpack them

[warped ginkgo]

what about the menu setting?

[charred rivet]

He wants more carry weight then that

which will kill the game for anyone

[warped ginkgo]

[charred rivet]

the game is only fun because of how hard it is

he just wants to be able to carry everything

[warped ginkgo]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/151-carry-weight-slider-set-to-500

[charred rivet]

Should change the picture to blackhole

[glossy trout]

^That's about all I could find too

[charred rivet]

But does it work with gamma

[timid edge]

ffs, it sure is nice having other people explain their rational of what fun is or not...

[glossy trout]

Should if he places it low enough in load order. Hopefully...

[charred rivet]

I mean, You can get away with infinite carry weight if it's related to a minigun. But since your simple reason is simply easy mode complaining then meh.

I wouldn't be here chatting if me and my friends game worked. But i'm still here figuring out wtf is wrong

[brisk zinc]

[brisk zinc]

What's your problem?

[timid edge]

i can see people having a hard time controlling themselves when it comes to options. Like the debug option? it's there, and can ruin progression as well.

[glossy trout]

Actually, can you set it in debug options? Then maybe just save your game if so?

[timid edge]

i would if i knew the proper command

[charred rivet]

game was working, haven't played for days, Tried using mod orginizer for other games realizing it's fucked because gamma fucked it hard and made it useless for other games. and i then decided to help my friend install it and i know why his isn't working but mine i have no idea why it isn't working.

[willow hawk]

It's at 50 by default. Level up your strength skill, upgrade your backpack, use carry weight artefacts....

[terse aspen]

If you're short of money early game Bandage + Yadulin works well, other than the messed up vision.

[charred rivet]

his isn't working becvause i forgot he needed to select portibale instance xD

so that's my bad

have no idea how to fix my game tho

[willow hawk]

You don't know what they even are. Stop complaining it's unimportant

[glossy trout]

@charred rivet What's popping up when you try running gamma?

[charred rivet]

That's why i'm here trying to figure out why the mod isn't working. I have no idea how to know exactly what's wrong.

[charred rivet]

launcher works

but when i click play it just doesn't try

[willow hawk]

Any error message at the end of your log ?

[charred rivet]

Most recent is the 1 of posted already i think

but other then that no

[glossy trout]

@charred rivet So when you click the gamma icon on your desktop, MO2 pops up, yes? And you have 'Anomaly (DX11-AVX)' selected before you hit 'Run'?

[brisk zinc]

The log always gets updated the moment you launch your game

Since you run it now, send it again

[charred rivet]

i can launch the game and cause another error but that wouldn't help because no error pops up from what i can see.

1 sec

[glossy zenith]

Noted, that helps a lot

[willow hawk]

That's not the bottom of the log

[brisk zinc]

I've already tell him to send the whole log, don't worry

[charred rivet]

I asked if the bottom or top was the most recent and i didn't get an asnwer till now. 1 sec

[willow hawk]

[charred rivet]

missed when you said this

[brisk zinc]

I know

[willow hawk]

Nothing shows the game is crashing

Launch the game > crash > upload your log file here

[charred rivet]

it's always the same

[charred rivet]

i did

i just launched it and took a screenshot of the log

[brisk zinc]

He asked you to upload your log

It's better for us (and our eyes too) if you upload it

[terse aspen]

The health recovery from Yadulin is very slow (and it messes with your vision), so it won't save you mid fight, but it's the cheapest way to patch up afterwards I think.

[charred rivet]

no idea if that's the entire thing but there

i copied pasted the entire log

[willow hawk]

There's no crash

[charred rivet]

exactly

what i've been saying

[glossy zenith]

Ok. Im just sitting at camp waiting for my leg to heal

[brisk zinc]

@charred rivet are you using this one?

Or any DX you can use

[charred rivet]

launcher and i tried different ones, i usaully launch with launcher and play on 10

dx10 avx i think is my main

but i launch with launcher

[terse aspen]

The yadulin doesn't heal limbs over time, it's a moderate post heal that also regenerates your main HP over time.

[glossy zenith]

ok im trying to heal a leg back from 0. I actually found an army med package

[brisk zinc]

@willow hawk correct me on this because I know you fixed it, but IIRC you don't play with launcher but with DX(number)-AVX

[glossy zenith]

and it has tons of items including ibuprofen so that should work

[charred rivet]

@brisk zinc Hasn't been a problem for me untill now

[brisk zinc]

Maybe it isn't even now, I'm still at the "you need to use that DX for GAMMA and not the vanilla launcher", who knows

[charred rivet]

• it's the only way to turn on the menu if things breaks that i know of

[willow hawk]

Yup but now launcher works

[charred rivet]

I'm pretty sure game broke because i tried launching other games with mod orginizer

[willow hawk]

Bandage > any L post heal

[brisk zinc]

With the same MO2 from GAMMA? It could be

[charred rivet]

No

had another one

but gamma fucked it and had to deleted it and gave up on those games

didn't touch the one for gamma

[terse aspen]

You need the yellow limb health before the ibuprofen, a couple bandages will do it, or a med kit will get most of it + heal main HP

[brisk zinc]

Oh so another MO2 installation independent from GAMMA... can fuck up GAMMA? I can't install another MO2 basically
@willow hawk can you confirm this? I thought that the portable instance would avoid problems like this

[charred rivet]

ended up modded dark souls 3 to pass the time

Only reason i found out gamma broke was because i was helping my friend and wanted to show him what it should look like

[glossy trout]

I had an issue with launching other games through the same MO2 that I use for GAMMA (wish I woulda made another MO2), but I did manage to fix it. Now I can launch it just fine with any game. Still use the GAMMA icon on desktop to launch GAMMA though

@charred rivet Just because I'm dumb, you use this, correct? And MO2 launches?

[charred rivet]

No

never had that option

doesn't put things on my screen when i download things

[glossy trout]

That should've came with the install

[brittle kestrel]

so is there a reliable way to find the unique weapons like the scoped TOZ or SVD lynx? do they spawn on enemies or in stashes?

[brisk zinc]

Correct, it's default

[charred rivet]

Nope didn't see that anywhere

was working fine without it tho

[brisk zinc]

@charred rivet have you considered a clean install?

[glossy trout]

[charred rivet]

yes

i have multiple times

even now

[brisk zinc]

Are you using the new installer?

[charred rivet]

still no sight of the fucking thing xD

yes

[glossy trout]

Geeeez

What about your anti virus?

[charred rivet]

No virus's detected never has been when it comes to this game.

[brisk zinc]

Hmmm

What about folders?

[charred rivet]

it doesn't pre delete, just stops it and asks me what it wants to do

[brisk zinc]

GAMMA and Anomaly, two different folder, same drive?

[charred rivet]

i'll show you

[brisk zinc]

It can be your antivirus the problem then

[charred rivet]

install is the game

folder under it is the mod

I did what grok did but added a folder

[glossy trout]

Antivirus doesn't have to flag things to stop it from working correctly

[charred rivet]

it would have flagged it for me, and i launch games with admin. actually i haven't tried that yet

i'm a try it rn

[glossy trout]

I use Kaspersky, and I had to do a lot of fiddling with it to get my work program to run correctly. No flags or anything. Just stopped it from allowing it access to certain files on my computer it needed to run it

[charred rivet]

now it shows this error

[brisk zinc]

Google Translate here because I need to write this right

@charred rivet
I have often had problems with the antivirus, if it finds a file that it does not like in a given folder, it first tells you that there is a problem, then, without letting you choose, it deletes it
The program may work the same at first but sooner or later it may stop working
And that's why I think the problem is your antivirus

[charred rivet]

when i launch with admin

[brisk zinc]

Microsoft Defender it's good enough, the best antivirus is still common sense

[charred rivet]

I might have deleted something that was detcted tbh

[brisk zinc]

Could be too

[charred rivet]

how do i make it ignore the game?

[brisk zinc]

One second, I know where it is, I need to guide you to it

I mean with Microsoft Defender

Are you using that?

[charred rivet]

no idea

it was a thing i never paid attention to 1 sec

[brisk zinc]

Are you using any antivirus at all?

[charred rivet]

no idea

[brisk zinc]

Okay

That is Microsoft Defender

[charred rivet]

is it this?

[brisk zinc]

Could be

Check details

[brisk zinc]

Browser Assistant

I don't think it's GAMMA

I could be wrong but I've never seen it

[charred rivet]

oooof

[brisk zinc]

Maybe it's Opera?

[charred rivet]

i use that

yes

[brisk zinc]

Okay, it could be that

[charred rivet]

xD

[brisk zinc]

Well then

[charred rivet]

but that's always closed

lmfao

[timid edge]

putting a mod in the gamma mods folder doesnt add it to the mo2 list, what am i missing?

[charred rivet]

duh

you have to add it

here 1 sec

[brisk zinc]

@charred rivet talking again about folders
I have it like this, on the same drive ofc

C:\Anomaly
C:\STALKER G.A.M.M.A. RC1

Just one folder for both, separate

[charred rivet]

same

did that with my friend

and told him to use global by mistake lmfao

my bad

[brisk zinc]

https://tenor.com/view/john-cena-cena-are-you-sure-are-you-sure-about-that-are-you-sure-about-that-meme-gif-23133134

[desert robin]

Any good way to get a nice DOF for the distant field? The Reshade has DOF but it doesnt seem to do anything like that Trying to get a very subtle distant blur

[charred rivet]

@brisk zinc meant i had my friend do that

[brisk zinc]

And your friend can play, right?

[charred rivet]

No

i have yet to tell him how to fix it xD

[brisk zinc]

Hmmm that's really strange

[charred rivet]

i forgot

doing that rn

he's been waiting for me lol

[desert robin]

If i accidently messed with the reshade and have to re-install it, can i just get the files from G.A.M.M.A. RC1.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\bin Or do i need to run the installer and updates etc ?

[charred rivet]

he didn't have his mods in the right folder and he moved it xD

fixing it rn for him

[glossy trout]

Anyone know what mod messes with the default artifact "durablility"? Kinda tired of hunting artifacts and getting some with literally 0 durability.

[willow hawk]

If it's portable > no

[mellow canopy]

I lose fps when I'm around a campfire or a fruit punch anomaly. Any setting to change to improve it? It does not always trigger it, I'm yet to isolate it.

[willow hawk]

Don't do that

[timid edge]

Thanks, that did the trick

[charred rivet]

I can't explain what happened but i know i was forced to delete my original one.

[glossy trout]

Nah I wouldn't dare change it after the fact lol

Unless you're talking about launching other games through the same MO2 I use for GAMMA 🤔

[willow hawk]

Please define mod.

To add archived mods > Ctrl+M in MO2 #custom-textures

[timid edge]

Thanks, though i'd sooner just edit a file to give myself more carry weight.

[willow hawk]

axr_options most likely

In gamedata/configs folder

[timid edge]

@willow hawk did you see my feedback message about the tooltip?

[ember herald]

which mods that are related to jsrs

dont wanna use it but the the game crashes on launch since i disabled it w/ some patches

[willow hawk]

Yes. And I answered. Just edit the value in the script

[timid edge]

good stuff. It would be absolutely better to have it as a button hold. 👍

[mellow canopy]

Any idea about that? Thanks

[charred rivet]

@willow hawk this is for my friend,

is this important?

[delicate wharf]

It's in the install instructions. Don't let this portable instance handle links

[charred rivet]

ok sorry been along day

[timid edge]

negative on the axr_options. If you find it on your "travels" let me know please. I guess in a direct message. Thanks

[charred rivet]

going off of memory and my games broken

my friend also doesn't have a proggress bar which is weird

but he does have the updated version

which is weirder

[glacial shadow]

hi guys i'm having a little issue with downloading groks modpack installer

[glossy trout]

What's wrong?

[glacial shadow]

it says impossible to reach the website

does it work for you?

[charred rivet]

were you banned from the website?

[glossy trout]

Yep! Just tried it

[glacial shadow]

nope

[desert robin]

Is there a way to remove Chromatic Abberation from binocs? Its awful.

[glossy trout]

So the website to download the GAMMA installer?

[charred rivet]

it's working just fine for my friend but he already had the zipped files downloaded

[glacial shadow]

yes

the one after the "portable.txt" passage

i downloaded the main folder no problem

[charred rivet]

can anyone confirm this? this is the updated one and the 1 i have but i have a proggress bar but he doesn't.

[glossy trout]

So you're on step 3?

[glacial shadow]

yeah

[delicate wharf]

thats not a website?

its just a link to a message in this discord with an embedded file to download

[glossy trout]

Indeed

[glacial shadow]

yes and it doesn't work for me

i click the download link and it says "impossible to reach the website"

[delicate wharf]

#📢announcements message

are you not in the discord app or something?

oh so you do see the message

you might have some safety setting on that prevents downloads

[glossy trout]

It works fine for me 🤔
Could it be your antivirus?

[glacial shadow]

i can try from the discord app

[glacial shadow]

it could but it wuldn't make sense since i've just downloaded the main file

[glossy trout]

Yeah def try from the Discord app

[glossy zenith]

I think it is antivirus

but wont antivirus give you a warning?

[glacial shadow]

it would

but i receive no warning

oh btw is there a way to deactivate some mods or is it all or nothing? the gunfire mods kinda make my laptop implode whener i shoot (grok's sound overhaul)

[glossy trout]

Yep! You can deactivate any mod

[glacial shadow]

great

[delicate wharf]

the idea is that adding/disabling addons works fine but depending on the mods you add/remove you will also have to be careful about removing/adding the right patches etc

[glacial shadow]

aight i'm on discord app, moment of truth

aaand it doesn't work

can someone google drive me the file?

[glossy trout]

All I can think of is trying it without your antivirus on

[glacial shadow]

let's see

[charred rivet]

My friend's finished installing

xD

way more red X's then me

this is his launcher

but he did everything correctly

and his launcher has no progress bar

Btw where does the gamma launcher get placed in?

[glossy trout]

At the end

[charred rivet]

Oh

because i don't have it

never had it

[glossy trout]

Be sure to tell him to go back and hit 'Update GAMMA Data' and then 'Update GAMMA Installation' after he's completely finished with the install

[brisk zinc]

@charred rivet

Let him check Moddb

Maybe he's (temporarily) banned

[delicate wharf]

^

[charred rivet]

@brisk zinc link pls

[delicate wharf]

lots of red x's usually means bad zip archives

just google moddb?

[charred rivet]

ok i guess

[empty monolith]

37ºF? You must be freezing

[charred rivet]

?

you must be a weakling

because i love the cold

it's hot in here

xD

jk

[empty monolith]

np

Cold is for the weak

[charred rivet]

it's actually the weather outside

i have a heater in my room and it's off but it's not cold

[charred rivet]

I go outside in shorts in the winter time

[timid edge]

The absolute strangest thing happens when i delete my savegames in the file directory. My music volume setting drops to zero and the only way to fix it is to save, quit and reload.

[charred rivet]

i'd rather freeze then sweat my balls off

[empty monolith]

I go in top tanks and swimming shorts

I also don't wear shoes

[charred rivet]

same

[empty monolith]

just flip flops or bare feet

[charred rivet]

eww flip flops xD i wear slides

flip flops hurt between the toes

slides you can wear with socks or no socks

[brisk zinc]

@charred rivet like McVeggies said

Just open Moddb

[charred rivet]

i sent him the link

[empty monolith]

weak, pain is pleasure

[candid hatch]

umm, maybe i'm dumb, but how do i put sleeping bag down?

if i use it it just turns into another item with less weight

[charred rivet]

is it a sleeping bag or the bag for the sleeping bag

is it empty is what i'm asking

[brisk zinc]

^same question

[brisk zinc]

You have two items, one is a sleeping bag (first pic), the second pic is the bag

You put the sleeping bed down by right click on it

[candid hatch]

yeah if i click use on the sleeping bag it just turns into the bag

it only changes between those 2 items when i click use

it doesn't get on the floor for me to use it

[desert robin]

Whats the diff betweeen dx10 and dx11?

[timid edge]

ten years of computer code

[brisk zinc]

That's strange
Are you sure it's not getting into the ground and you don't see it?

[narrow turtle]

Anyway to lock the mouse to my main screen? I'm using fullscreen yet my mouse wonders over to my second monitor sometimes.

[desert robin]

Well for 10 years there seems to be zero visual difference at all, and i actually gain FPS on dx10... And no more stutters

[vivid basin]

damn... I think beef's nvgs really only work on dx10/11

this is so sad

thought this was because shaders were basically made for dx10/11

[candid hatch]

ok i just checked, i'm an idiot, i didn't realize the bag drops, and i just have bag in inventory, thanks 😄

[timid edge]

i think the dx's have dependencies on operating systems. DX10 would be more suited to win7, vista, and maybe another. Not absolutely sure.

i forget if win ME had dx10 as well...

[brisk zinc]

Yeah I thought it was obvious at that point

[timid edge]

are the default settings for A-life population dependent on difficulty settings?

or am i just seeing the difference with area i'm in, like south will be less populated than the north?

[glossy zenith]

Where can I store items in the rookie village?

[brisk zinc]

Sidorovich

There is a stash there

Or there is one here

[glossy trout]

@timid edge Supposedly it takes about a week to populate fully. Other than that, you can look into MCM and find the ZCP mod. Quite a few pop settings there that override the default pop settings

[glossy zenith]

how do you know if its a stash or just a random box?

I seen this box but thought it was random so I was scared to put items in there and they despawn or something

[timid edge]

"Stashes" can be anything. all of them are fine to store in though

[glossy zenith]

and I cant figure out how to craft stuff, I checked the manual but no idea where workbench is

[timid edge]

That will come a little later. You will see a gear symbol on your pda. There is one north of rookie village, on other side of train tracks.

[glossy zenith]

ok so if I wanted to make something using that workbench I have to run back to that stash and grab correct items?

[timid edge]

you need to pay a 1000 to use the bench and you are limited in time, if you can, save before trying and just reload when you figure everything out.

[desert robin]

Any way to set night time manually via console?

[glossy zenith]

Hey do u know how to turn off the "only save at lit fires" settings after you have started a game? I can find it in the options

[timid edge]

there is a stash there as well. matter of fact you will find a stash at all the benches. fairly around the benches at least. Some are a fair distance away.

MCM menu, and if you absolutely don't want it.

otherwise all the benches have fires fairly close as well

[glossy zenith]

its too much for me right now, I dont have the time for it lol took me almost 3 hours altogether to complete a mission lmao

[brisk zinc]

What Whiskey said

There are some of them that are "safe" and well known, like those two

[timid edge]

thought all containers were safe

[glossy zenith]

so only some of them are "safe"?

[brisk zinc]

You mean The Tent(tm)? It's RNG, now more than ever

[brisk zinc]

I thought not
Maybe you're right, I don't know how it works here

[delicate wharf]

All containers are safe

[timid edge]

no, the gear or sprocket at the main hubs where the mechanics are.

[delicate wharf]

if a container becomes a marked stash the items are just spawned in addition to what you kept there

[timid edge]

usually faction specific

[brisk zinc]

Oh a gear, sorry

[delicate wharf]

also with gamma you don't really need a tech workbench, keep the first basic/adv/expert toolkit you find in your inv and just right click use it to open the craft menu @glossy zenith

[brisk zinc]

Confused that with "stashes", I thought that was still the main argument

[delicate wharf]

giving techs toolkits is really just so they have a bigger inventory of items for sale and can install upgrades for cash

crafting is easier with your own kits

[timid edge]

shit, i did not realize that. this whole time dancing across the zone to upgrade!!

so back to a-life population. are the settings dependent on difficulty chosen? I know mcm has another menu, but wasn't sure if the regular settings were manipulated by choice of difficulty.

[glossy zenith]

Just one more question for now, do you need toolkit/bench to craft food recipes? Having a little trouble with food

Stuff is worth an arm and a leg

[fresh fiber]

There are special stoves to cook food, most general merchants sell them. They use different fuel and water

Not sure if stove is the right word, not a native speaker :x

[ancient karma]

DX is updated, i just checked

still doesnt work

[delicate wharf]

the easiest way to get food is world spawns tbh, but cooking works fine it requires a cooking kit not a toolkit. All the general traders should carry some cooking equip

there are a couple different kinds of cooking kits that taking different fuel (some can just use a campfire) and can cook various qualities of food. All the recipes are unlocked right away just like crafting

[glossy zenith]

Oh ok got ya. So whats the best way to get food early game or best place to loot food?

[fading rose]

same here

[brittle kestrel]

are any of the added songs that play on camp radios available on the PDA radio?

[glossy trout]

Just an FYI: If you ever want to disable the ballistics overhaul module, be sure to look under the GAMMA Combat and Balance category and disable 'Close Quarter Combat' and 'Eidolon Harder Fight - Experimental' as well. It WILL crash your game as soon as you shoot someone if you don't.

[glossy zenith]

ok so no specific place to find food, im seeing it just random right?

[timid edge]

your absolute best bet is to grind out missions for the stalkers. Especially the trader in Rookie village. You WILL run into food, then be able to afford the cooking kit.

[glossy zenith]

found half a chocolate bar on a table

[glossy zenith]

ok thank you

[timid edge]

@glossy zenith If by chance you don't find anything to eat, don't hesitate to spend some money on food. Eventually after enough work the money won't be an issue as much as it seems at the beginning.

[terse aspen]

There's pretty much always some in the farm on the long tables, and in the bar, restocks every day.

Also the houses by the cordon entrance to meadows normally have lots of food and meds, it's been safe there when I've been, the compounds up the hill not so much!

[timid edge]

still nobody can answer the a-life population difficulty dependency or not 😦

[terse aspen]

I don't hthink difficulty matters, though I can't swear to it. ZCP overrides the normal game setting for population.

[timid edge]

what houses? are we playing the same game?

[terse aspen]

In meadows, just where you enter from cordon

[timid edge]

okay, that makes sense. I didn't touch ZCP so i imagine the settings are well enough as is.

[terse aspen]

there are 6? houses, they have lots of lose loot, mainly food and meds

[timid edge]

@glossy zenith you see what Sketched is saying about Meadows?

[glossy zenith]

I do

not sure where meadows is but ill figure it out lol

Im in the swamp right now helping the scientist

[terse aspen]

I turned mutants up to 0.9 (from 0.6) since I started and Eco playthrough when the new artifact system went in (seemed appropriet) to keep things interesting. Saw 5 giants between cordon and rostok by day 2 1 in the cordon, 2 in garbage butcher gave me a quest for, and 2 at the south entrance to rostok (thanks for all the dead duty loot!)

[glossy zenith]

Is it odd that I havent run into an enemy int he swamps since I left rookie vill?

[terse aspen]

Dunno if just RNG or they spawn more dangerous mutants with a higher ZCP pop value.

[timid edge]

you got giants to spawn at beginning levels?!

[terse aspen]

Yup.

Day 1-2 too.

[timid edge]

lol

what's your difficulty?

[terse aspen]

Hard / Survivalist

The giants weren't actually that bad, they are territorial so they leash, was able to keep hit and running the 2 in garbage. The 2 in rostok duty softened up nicely for me.

(and 3 of them and 2 Eco's died to them - lots of loot!)

[hushed dust]

anyone have feedback on how to get these red flags under control lol

[terse aspen]

Wow, that's a lot, maybe reinstall from scratch. Delete the mods folder in the G.A.M.M.A. folder then go through the installation process again.

I'm guessing they didn't download properly for some reason, though I'm not the best to answer install issues.

[ancient karma]

if anyone can help, my game just randomly crashes, but it only crashes my gpu. Fans spin up, and nothing displays on my screens, I have to turn off, and then turn the pc back on for it to display anything after it crashes. These are the logs

[timid edge]

what is the scope zoom adjust button? is there one?

[ancient karma]

can someone help please? i want to play this modpack so bad but cant because of my crashing issue

[brisk zinc]

Check pinned messages here if you're talking about the zoomed view

Zoomed view

[timid edge]

Some scopes say they have adjustable zooms, is this not the case?

i know i can switch between scopes, but the zoom is not acknowledged. Wonder if it's the same button.

[timid edge]

Sorry to hear you've troubles. Usually crashes are associated with bad files. The last invalid "argument" in that log talked about a missing or corrupted file. Find the file path and look and see if that file is present.

[timid edge]

Grok mentioned sometimes files aren't downloaded correctly. You might just have to run through an update on his installer. I thought i seen an option for "check file integrity" somewhere.

[timid edge]

make sure your GPU drivers are up to date, as well.

[warped ginkgo]

Try with dx11

[timid edge]

and dx10 might be an issue as well

@warped ginkgo you know if there is a scope zoom adjust function?

[warped ginkgo]

I dont understand

Some scopes you can adjust the zoom with the wheel

Others dont

[rotund moss]

what weel, which scope, we need information!

[timid edge]

I FOUND IT YAAY!

the default is V. There are scope kits that say you can switch two different sights.

[rotund moss]

also you know there is a whole key map under #│💻keybinds-in-gamma for you to not remember right?

if you found your answer there than for the love of the Zone appologize to the modders right fucking now

and have a nice day

[timid edge]

Never!

[ancient karma]

yeah, ill try

[timid edge]

and i can hardly read that keymap, so 😛

[rotund moss]

you know you can make it bigger if you klick on "show original" because discord corps it so if fits into the PREVIEW

😄

[fading rose]

good nit people! question. Is there a way to re-enable the X knife requirements to be able to work the skin?

I am very used to having to improve my knife to remove parts from larger animals, etc. But i cant find the addon responsible.

idk why i like to play with that and npc claim loot lol.

[timid edge]

i wouldnt worry on that really, you'll eventually have nothing but those available.

[rotund moss]

i think atm you can skin every mutant with every knife, upgrading your knife seems only to effect the "HP" of that knife and its meele damage

[fading rose]

u're right, the knife now is more "upgrade for combat" than for skinning. Thanks.

And this is the way Groks want things so i must be like this.

[timid edge]

oh, i see what you mean.

[rotund moss]

doesnt stop me to get a better/bigger knife every time i have the chance xD

[fading rose]

yeah, i was thinking because BaS adds a lot of new knifes and axe haha.

i cant remember but there was an stalker mod that adds a shovel mechanic

[rotund moss]

shovel mechanic? like digging a stash or something?

[fading rose]

in someplaces where ground soil was removed u can use showel to get stashes

[delicate wharf]

pretty sure some mutants still require a better knife

[fading rose]

yeah the mod was road to the north i think

[rotund moss]

because shovels a quite common in the zone, unless you play as military

[delicate wharf]

the only real diff I have noticed is that boars no longer need a better knife which is good. That was stupid

[fading rose]

i think is there was a mechanic where npcs claim ur stash then u can dig to create one lol

[timid edge]

funny. All i get for loot is shovels and yarn.

[fading rose]

u're right!!

[rotund moss]

you could be right since i always already have a huntersknife then i meet my first giant/chimera

[fading rose]

im gonna restart with zcp loot spawn at 0.30 because i have 2 stashes full of things in 2hours lol

this modpack is insane.

[rotund moss]

Grok said he will update the world spawn to 0.25 in the future

there have been some places where you literly could hold down the F key

mats and meds for days

[fading rose]

or find a medic stash into the rookie village stash

open it and fill ur inventory with medkits

i fixed that reducing the loot in zcp to half

but still there are a lot of double loot everythere i reduced it to .30 lets try now.

also the last question, sorry

is aggressor on mo2 addons list only the ground textures?

nevermind sorry

i saw there are weather and ground textures.

[rotund moss]

speaking of, anybody knows why fruitpunch anomalies are affected by sunshadows? i had to fumble for a solid hour to find out why thies anomalies where tanking my fps so much

[brisk zinc]

I need an armor with good ballistic, impress me

[rotund moss]

what faction you playing?

if you can bring spirit some vodka

[brisk zinc]

I think it's impossible to have both ballistic and "things from the zone" like anomalies and such, so ballistic will do

Loner

[rotund moss]

Ecoguard suits

good look finding them

Skat9 armour

Skat9 Exoskeletons

Dutyversion of Skat9

Ace Merc Seva suit

Armoured Hybrid suit

[brisk zinc]

Another question, I'm inside Laboratory X19, why the hell do I have a timer
Nobody told me anything about a timer

[rotund moss]

combine and mix and match with helmets and your are set

you have a timer because your brain is melting

so as soon as the nosebleed stops you ded jim

anyway if you play as loner i would say your best option for early game would be Spirit (the cook at Yantarbunker) and his Vodka smuggling

[timid edge]

@brisk zinc Seva suits are your best all around armor in game in my opinion.

fully upgraded for max belt slots, that is.

[rotund moss]

bring him enough Vodka at once and he trades it to a berril (i think thats how its called) it has the around the same anomalie protection as a sunrise but realy good repture (against mutants) and decent ballistic protection

[timid edge]

although i havent played this long enough to see if that is even possible anymore

[rotund moss]

yeah Sevas, as specialy the better Merc Sevas are realy good all around armors

thanks to the fact that NBC suits like every other suit have no helmet now they kind of even better

[timid edge]

in game cover is your best bet against ballistics. 😄

[rotund moss]

agreed let them magdumb into your cover and shoot while they reload

but carefull they will flank XD

[timid edge]

yeah, i forgot about that. There is probably a better option now with the added armor helmet combo available

[rotund moss]

my personal favorite would be either the Eggheads protoexo or the heavy duty protoexo

[timid edge]

exo seem counter productive with the lack of available belt slots.

[rotund moss]

the one of the Eggheads has hands down the best overall protection against the zone AND realy good protection against Mutants and bullets plus 5 slots

[timid edge]

nevermind...

[rotund moss]

the heavy protoexo from Duty has 3 slots i think, more than decent protection against the zone and can be together with a good helmet and the right slotitems the most tanky mothertrucker in a firefight that there is

at least outside of gamma, i would have to test how good they are in gamma

but i dont want to just spawn them in

[timid edge]

exo seems like the one you would use for a direct infiltration of faction base.

[brisk zinc]

Understood, thank you both

I've also managed to disable the brain scorcher, don't know how but I made it

[rotund moss]

you can actualy miss the button to shut it down, so no wonder you missed why you actualy shut it down in the first place

[brisk zinc]

Seriously it's a labyrinth

5:20 minutes is just enough

[rotund moss]

labyrinth? oh yeah you dont see that its kind of a tunnel with a few deadends if you are there for the first few times ^^

by now i only see tunnel

[outer mist]

is this what i need to disable to make unmarked stashes have loot, i'm not a long time stalker player so i don't know where all the stashes are (which is i'm assuming why this exists) and it's kinda frustrating to search and area find a stash and it have nothing in it... kinda ruins my exploring...

[ancient karma]

i've gone into the installer and done update gamma data, and then update gamma installation

[rotund moss]

but 5:20 is enough time yes

[ancient karma]

what directx renderer should I use?

does it really matter?

[brisk zinc]

What you can afford

[brisk zinc]

For the NVG I think you need DX11, maybe, maybe even DX10

[ancient karma]

ill just use dx10

[rotund moss]

im on your side with the exploring the zone, finding unmarket stashes was a lazy but still good reward for actual explorers. Problem is that unmarket stashes can basicly spawn EVERYTHING inclouding item this modpack locks away under certain conditions, so you could be better of playing Vanilla Anomaly

[ancient karma]

since ive heard dx11 is pretty unstable for anomaly

[rotund moss]

just dont try DX9 modpack crashes on DX9

im using DX11 and it looks nice and crashes like once every 2 hours

[outer mist]

Gotcha, thank you

[brisk zinc]

Exactly, dead ends and what not
Not only that, it's basically anonymous, I realized it was there because I saw the console, otherwise at that point I was already dead
I mean take the Miracle Machine for example, it's a big brain inside a big room, it's obvious that you need to be there, the Brain Scorcher in comparison is nothing

[brisk zinc]

I think we have someone that play with DX8

[rotund moss]

you also can do work for your faction, lets say 4 days of work and then go on a stash run, exploring the zone that way (you get stash coordinates as a reward, the higher you goodwill the higher the chance - i think) and or buy stash coordinates from your faction leaders

[timid edge]

man you guys must have some weird settings for loot because i find jack squat in everything

[brisk zinc]

I think it's a random reward when you do tasks

[rotund moss]

thats what i ment with you can miss the thingy to shut it down xD

[brisk zinc]

The more north you go, the better the loot, that's certain

[rotund moss]

me too, but i noticed i get more stash coords the longer i do quests for a faction which makes me believe the goodwill plays into it as well

[brisk zinc]

Yeah could be too

[rotund moss]

and yes the further north you are the better the loot inside the stashes and on the stalkers will be

[timid edge]

i figured the area makes a difference loot wise, but still, the game won't give you prestine anything i cant imagine, so you still have to work for the stuff you want.

and if you are playing the way is intended, by the time you get to the north, your money and items, except armor and weapon maybe, will be set enough where the difference is actually warranted.

[visual current]

will the updated knife animation ever return?

[timid edge]

otherwise just lower the settings in ZCP and SUFFER!

[rotund moss]

i get most of my stuff (the shit i actualy use) from quests that ask me to find a stash, or a body, for some reasons the bodies have midtier weapons on them (you still have to fix them) while the stashes tend to have a suit after a while at least

[timid edge]

yep, after getting my reputation up to God tier with allied faction, i finally got an armor that could withstand more than a couple bullets.

[rotund moss]

idk why but im a sucker for 9x39 so heck yeah i will take that VAL - Savant on my first day xD

[timid edge]

he didn't make this game to lay you down every conflict imagined. You will eventually run into stuff to mitigate the slaughtering.

[rotund moss]

truth is you still can get lucky just like that in the Zone, not the first time i get an exo helmet just because i wanted to deliver a pack of drugs - i mean medicine for a loner to freedom in army warehouse

i did not get it as a reward it was on a monolith dude who got killed next to me

[timid edge]

monolith are high tier, it goes to reason they will drop that. You rng lucked that i bet.

[rotund moss]

Exohelmet and Leatherjacket is a suprisingly good starter loadout xD

dude my RNG was on fire on that run

[timid edge]

and you still need the parts to fix it, which i've yet to see

[rotund moss]

only thing i actualy never god in that test run have been basicl toolkits

atm you still can fix suits and helmets for much rubel at any mechanic for "insta" use

but weapons is a different thing, if you dont fix the parts they still jam and use up a lot of overall weapon HP

[timid edge]

yep. nothing wrong with paying to fix that stuff. You earned it!

[rotund moss]

speaking of, i still have to find the toolkit to fix up the barrels of my guns

[timid edge]

high enough level with trader.

[glossy trout]

Quick question: What's the best cooking kit for early game? Is there one that doesn't need fuel and just needs the campfire?

[graceful iron]

probably the army kettle for early game but if you can buy the multifuel stove from butcher in garbage for a much lower price than anywhere else and find some of the scripted spots for liquid fuel then you are much better off as the multifuel stove uses all fuels and does all recipes

no kit uses campfires as fuel sadly but if i remember correctly the field cooking kit and the army kettle need a campfire anyways

the northern farm in cordon by itself has 2 jerry cans

the machine yard (car park or something i dont know what its supposed to be called) to the west has one jerry can as well (also in cordon)

all cooking kits have limited uses but the multifuel kit so that makes it the most cost effective as well

[glossy trout]

I see... Kinda stinks the campfire can't be used for at least the minimum mutant recipes.
Thanks for the tip about the jerry cans and the multifuel stove!

I gotcha. Yeah I can see the unlimited uses being nice in the long run lol

Btw, I did a search right after asking, and I did find this from Grok:

Grok — 01/25/2022
You can cook near campfires without fuel already with the basic and the army kettle
[12:48 AM]
Charcoal is just for cooking on the go
[12:49 AM]
The higher tier stove has infinite use and is lighter but needs kerosene to work. It can also cook the last tier of food using vodka to give long lasting buffs to mutant meat
[12:49 AM]
The cooking system is good already. I just need to change the calories so the higher recipe tier, the better the calories

[graceful iron]

oh

so i did misremember

[glossy trout]

I actually did the search before asking, but found this after

[graceful iron]

well looks like you can use them

[glossy trout]

But it still does have the limited uses like you said

So you were right about it being more cost-effective to get the multifuel stove in the end anyway

[graceful iron]

i think it costs something just over 8k on the hardest difficulty

i play on that all the time so i always buy it from butcher

other traders sell it for something over 12k

[glossy trout]

Oof, the game thinks I'm made of money. Sweet tho! I'll see if I can make it there. Food has been my nemesis for a bit now lol. My guy gets hungry (the food icon appears) very frequently

[graceful iron]

it happens after the first day as you just fill your inventory with foods from the world spawn spots

just have a look around and break all the crates or metal boxes you find as they have chances of cooking equippement

rostok in the bar spawns a lot of foods and drinks (probably enough for a day or 2)

[glossy trout]

Oh cool! Yeah honestly I probably don't loot thoroughly enough. Plus I need to try and move throughout the zone more

[desert robin]

Hunger and thirst in GAMMA is balanced like a joke. To have to eat and drink every 2 hours or you die.....

[graceful iron]

if you run around a 30km radius of a place all day and use healing items (which chew through your hunger and thirst in rl to) then you will get hungry often

[willow hawk]

You can pretty much invincible in the end

[willow hawk]

It's balanced but some drugs are unbalanced

Like antirads will make you hungry super fast

[graceful iron]

same with ibuprufen

[stark nimbus]

I would say for hunger reasons, the basic cooking set is enough, since you can find them pretty often (bodies, low level stashes), you don’t need fuel, since you can use campfires and rads from eating zone-produced food goes to 0 before it can do any higher damage. However, after you get the high-tier recipies from Chef in Yantar, then it is worth to get the multi-fuel stove, since you can cook food using Putinka vodka and it gives you bonuses like increased resistances, carry weight etc.

[willow hawk]

These recipes are available from the start

[graceful iron]

in gamma all recipes are unlocked

gamma is supposed to encourage you to cook your food more

so it makes cooking a bit easier

[willow hawk]

Make sure you check the inventory bar. Sometimes eating something light won't fill it up

[stark nimbus]

Oh yeah, I didn’t realize it applies to food as well 😄

[glossy trout]

Gotcha! Didn't know they were so easy to find

[glossy trout]

Right, I forget those bars exist now

@willow hawk I actually had a quick question while you're here, do you happen to know off-hand which module affects the artifacts' durability - the ones you find outside?

[obtuse rune]

If you've installed/updated recently it's his new mod: G.A.M.M.A. Artefacts Reinvention

Which allows you to craft artifacts

[graceful iron]

i am confused, what is the question again?

[glossy trout]

Ahh, thanks!

[glossy trout]

I was asking which module affected artifacts having durability - or at least having low durability when found

[obtuse rune]

You're meant to find a bunch and combine / craft them to improve the quality of artifacts

[graceful iron]

by module you mean addon/mod

[glossy trout]

Right right, I just don't like them having near-zero durability when I find them. Finding them in stashes that's understandable, but it doesn't make sense to me to find them so low in the wild

[glossy trout]

Yep!

[graceful iron]

they are much easier to find now

they spawn much more and much faster

you dont have to wait for emissions or psystorms

you could literally pick one up from an anomalous field and one will literally spawn right in front of you

[glossy trout]

Really? I've been looking quite a bit and haven't found many at all. Could be there are a lot more up north

[graceful iron]

does not have to be north

you can easily find 2 artefacts at an anomaly

but i think they cap at that so when you pick one up then it will spawn more

[willow hawk]

It makes sense because they are much stronger now

And it gives long term goals + you can craft them + you find more artefacts + you can empower any junk with any other junk

#│📚manual

[willow hawk]

Exactly

[graceful iron]

also you have to stay in the same region for them to keep spawning i think, moving around areas and regions resets the timers?

[willow hawk]

The timer is set at 1min30 but it doesn't mean every 1min30 an artefacts spawn in the field you are camping. Could be 3 or 4min30s

[willow hawk]

Yep to avoid abuses

Saving loading resets timer as well

[graceful iron]

[willow hawk]

LLMCS are the only abuse remaining

[graceful iron]

it seems that if you take an artefact from a npc when its full but not inside a container it goes back to low condition

[glossy trout]

I do like that they're much stronger now. And yeah I did read the manual about them. I guess it's just not my preference. I could very much change my tune the more I play though. I'm still very new, so everything is being looked at from a new player's prospective lol

[willow hawk]

[delicate wharf]

I haven't played with new arti's yet but im assuming it will be like not being able to buy weapons/armor. Just more fun once you are used to it

[graceful iron]

most people i seen talk about belt attachments seem to prefer going with the device ones, so making artefacts more powerful and have more variety and an actual objective to work towards should make them a better option

[supple wasp]

just updated and i notice these 3 are in the disable

[golden elm]

Hey guys! Is there anyway to access companion's true inventory? I need to take away the RPG-7 that Hip picked up because she just blew me up with it.

[supple wasp]

are they being update or smt?

[north turret]

LMAO

hip with the rocket launcher

[golden elm]

Check the modlist, if you see the same addons, then they're already updated

[golden elm]

She picked it up.

[graceful iron]

debug

[obtuse rune]

What mods are currently sitting at 170? Should be able to remove older versions

[golden elm]

How lol

[obtuse rune]

Actually 1.6.6 is the old version, newest is 1.6.7

[supple wasp]

oh ok

tks

[graceful iron]

i cant remember the exact command but its something to do with npc inventory, look at the npc and click it. i will go check

[golden elm]

Alrighty. The sooner I take the rocket launcher from that crazy blyat, the better

[golden elm]

Lol, found it. The trade option shows Hip's true inventory.

[graceful iron]

its trade all

[north turret]

Or , better yet stay far away and let her blow everything up

https://tenor.com/view/smart-thinking-thoughts-think-ponder-gif-7713620

thank me later

[graceful iron]

sometimes they still shoot when they are really close to you and you have no time to run

they can kill you so many times its just annoying

[golden elm]

She blew the Monolith up, blew the hostage I tried to rescue, and also blew me up.
I feel like I have a degenerate tank as companion

[north turret]

plot twist: you're HER companion

[graceful iron]

i mean that is true when doing the artefacts mission for her

[golden elm]

Oh, so that's why she pushed me out of cover all the time. I was suppose to be her meat shield.

[north turret]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

pING

[north turret]

yes.

[lilac meteor]

Does the rushed psi helmet do anything different from the calibrated version?

[eternal patio]

is this song in the game? LUMEN TPN NTYN

[north turret]

pretty sure phonk songs are not in the game

they don't fit in at all

[rotund moss]

urg has anybody the NPC ID of Gatekeeper at the top of his head he is gone and i for the life of me dont want to retrack a whole day of grind

[graceful iron]

he is supposed to be invincible

[rotund moss]

and be visible as soon as i talked to barkeep because of the questline 😄

but he is not

[graceful iron]

you will probably have to google that ID or ask about it in the anomaly server

[rotund moss]

i guess his logic got stucked somewhere but i cant fix that (there is a forum post on how to do that) but i have to be in front of him

[quaint latch]

Can someone tell me the default for the basic light settings i changed them and i don't remember the original values

[glossy trout]

The numbers should all be 1.0 I believe

[ivory comet]

how do i get to the yellow marker? I never go to forest even in clear sky

[blissful tree]

There is a mine to the south that leads to there.

[north turret]

1.0

[ivory comet]

after 10 min of navigating, trying to get the artifact in the middle

the art proc the wirlwig, and it was sent into space, even my detector cant sense the artifact anymore XD

[desert robin]

What storage containers are safe to use without them respawning stuff in the container?

For example the one at the campfire in cordon

[glossy trout]

From what I understand, any container is safe

Anything spawned in them will just spawn on top of your stuff

[desert robin]

Awesome. Thanks

[glossy trout]

Yup!

[blissful tree]

F.

[lilac meteor]

Who did the updated sounds for the miracle machine?

[glossy trout]

@graceful iron Hey! Remember when you said that artifacts respawn but they have a cap? Is that cap per anomaly location, or per area location?

[broken pendant]

ey guys quick question where can i buy guns?

[glossy trout]

Can't buy guns in this mod. Can only find and/or craft them

[broken pendant]

ohh repair and change the gun kits only

[glossy trout]

Yup!

[broken pendant]

thats interesting

[glossy trout]

I think it's because money is relatively easy to come by, so it prevents players from scaling too quickly

While still offering a fair alternative

[broken pendant]

yeah its hard to get a good gun

[covert kestrel]

a cap of 2 per anomaly location

[glossy trout]

Ohhh yeah

[glossy trout]

Nice! Thank you!

[covert kestrel]

[glossy trout]

And one last question (for now lol), in MCM > ZCP, you can set how often npcs spawn back in. Default is every 12 hours. Is that every 12 hours the player is awake, like if you wake up at 7am and they spawn at 7pm, or is it world time?

Cause I set it to 6 for fun, but no more npcs are spawning than normal

[covert kestrel]

world time and theres an actor/npc limit per area iirc

thought cant confirm that, so take it with a couple grains of salt

[glossy trout]

Interesting... I wonder how that's supposed to work then

[graceful iron]

per anomaly field i think

[rich acorn]

Any idea why I get "night vision sound" whenever i am near a radiation zone? its like the sound was replaced

[graceful iron]

are you sure you didnt add anything that could have changed that?

[modest depot]

can someone tell me how i can get traders to have weapons in stock (i dont have gamma economy) or how to level up their supply level

[covert kestrel]

huh weird, traders should have weapons in stock if you dont have gamma economy, did you disable it mid save? if yes, try sleeping or waiting until trader inventory resets

[modest depot]

never had it turned on

[covert kestrel]

and their supply level increases from goodwill

in incrementals of 500

huh weird, try enabling trader overhaul, sleep/refresh trader inventory

and see how that goes

[modest depot]

alright

thanks

[covert kestrel]

[glossy trout]

Thanks!

And I the respawn thing did end up working. One minute I was frolicking through the Zone, and the next I was in the middle of a swarm of freshly spawned mutants

[tawny igloo]

how do i fix this stuttering i have in game

sometimes it just freezes for a cpl of secs

or is it just that my pc is garbage

[ivory comet]

where is the options to turn npcs light off?

[blissful tree]

It happens to a lot of people.

[ivory comet]

nm im dumb found it

[proven thorn]

Is the "rescue a rogue scout troop" part of Last Dawn timed too? I got to the marker but nothing happens, and the guy doesn't have anything to say.

lol, never mind. The enemies weren't anywhere near the marker

[graceful iron]

read what the mission giver tells you to do

🙃

[proven thorn]

I thought I did

[rich acorn]

I found what it was !

this Anomaly Suppresion System stops radiation/anomalies

[knotty laurel]

Desman's horror overhaul

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/desmans-horror-overhaul

[fresh fiber]

I'm not sure you should use GAMMA support channels to ask questions about EFP, it can be a bit confusing

[rich acorn]

sorry

They are very similar tho

but u're right

[lilac meteor]

Feels a bit cheaty, but imo it would be something they would try to make

What addon is it from?

[graceful iron]

you wanna get yeeted off the face of the earth?

go ask about EFP stuff in the EFP server

or at least say that you are asking about EFP

[fading rose]

Are the nights suposed to be pitch black?

[tidal raft]

Yes.

[fading rose]

Kk thanks e.e

[errant thicket]

Will disabling a bunch of the visual animation mods like FDDA, food and medical items, etc from the beginning of a save cause any issues?

[tidal raft]

Get a flashlight or headlight at minimum if you want to explore at nighttime.

[fading rose]

Yeah i have that i was going to kill dogs with headlight but cant saw sh* and something gruesome killed me while i was running in the dark hahaha, a lurker i think.

Nvm Gamma is amazing hahaha

[rich acorn]

REMOVING FDDA and food and medical items shouldn't caust any issues

[rich acorn]

The nights are for sleeping or for NVG silent killing 😄

[tidal raft]

You know we have an entire section dedicated to the 'busy hands bug' in #│🔧troubleshooting , right?

[rich acorn]

lol i forgot an important word in the beggining

[graceful iron]

i mean he is the person asking about stuff for EFP on the gamma server

[rich acorn]

hey!

I have more love for u guys, thats why

[tidal raft]

Okay, yes. That makes a lot more sense.

[rich acorn]

and I feel like a traitor for playing EFP

[graceful iron]

yea sure absolutely

go back to playing EFP if you are going to come here trolling and asking about stuff from the EFP pack

[rich acorn]

but I love both

Not trolling at all

[graceful iron]

you can love both packs

no one said anything opposite of that

[timid edge]

Those are toggled in mcm menu and regular settings. The animations at least. If youre worried on the health system, don't be, just play and you'll get use to it.

[willow hawk]

Yes asking about EFP stuff here doesn't make sense

[timid edge]

i think EFT had a bunch of ideas that Stalker 2 wanted to use and that's why it was delayed. I also think EFT should have been the next Stalker...dammit...

[graceful iron]

EFT is a battle royal

[fading rose]

[tidal raft]

F'ing nail on the head here.

[graceful iron]

"EFT this, EFT that, EFT is better stalker blablabla"

[tidal raft]

BRs are brainwashing the youth..

[timid edge]

whoa whoa whoa! nobody here says EFT is better Stalker. That's just blasphemy!

[graceful iron]

[timid edge]

Is there anything i can do to access a bugged stash?

[graceful iron]

bugged?

how

[timid edge]

In Meadow, NorthEast is a military base. Inside the multi story building is a giant safe tagged as a stash. I get no option to open it. I looked high and low, every nook and cranny, i cant find anything that would be a stash but that thing.

[tidal raft]

Did you check the other floors?

[timid edge]

High and low, every nook and cranny.

i'm hoping that i missed something simply because i hate having stuff unfinished.

[covert kestrel]

might be a level below the ground, accessible through a tunnel somewhere

if not possible, well, debug teleport

[graceful iron]

did you try to save/load?

[tidal raft]

I'm almost finished with my reinstall and can check that stash.

[graceful iron]

did you check the flooded underground part of the building?

i cant remember if the safe is a stash or not i have been there and opened a stash somewhere

[timid edge]

i think it's the safe because i just ran into another just like it in dark valley. yes i checked the basement.

[graceful iron]

there is no way onto the roof ?

[timid edge]

negative. It's a green stash, if that makes any difference. Just asking in hopes someone remembered it or had same issue.

no biggy

[tidal raft]

I'm sending Harbourman to find it.

[graceful iron]

this one?

[graceful iron]

.

[tidal raft]

I don't see a problem.

[graceful iron]

yea its a stash for me as well

[timid edge]

WHO'S harborman? and that isn't the one that i found Aldourien, is that in the building?

[graceful iron]

yes

the 3 story building

[tidal raft]

Harbourman is my second character.

[graceful iron]

can you screenshot the one you found?

[timid edge]

clyde bot says my screenshot is explicit...

[graceful iron]

this one?

its not a stash

if this one

[timid edge]

thats the one!

[graceful iron]

it could be the other one we found

they are almost on top of each other

[timid edge]

well where the hell is the stash!

[graceful iron]

next floor above this one

[timid edge]

i checked, i swear!

ah well. will try again 😄

good looking out, people!

[graceful iron]

this room in the middle

[tidal raft]

The safes are one room apart (backs against the same wall) and on different floors.

[tall charm]

Remember some staches are really fucky and won’t open unless you go at them at a certain angle

I.E those footlockers that are elevated on other things, and certain safes

[charred rivet]

Aight

after some sleep

back at it again trying to fix my game xD

[graceful iron]

wait you still didnt fix your game? what was wrong again?

[charred rivet]

Worked, now doesn't work

no crash logs or anything when it doesn't start

Also friends game just doesn't work either while following the guided youtube video

if you look at all of my recent screenshots you will see my problem and friend's problem

[tidal raft]

Did you check this?
#│🔧troubleshooting message

[lilac meteor]

This is new

Is this a feature or is my game bugged?

[warped ginkgo]

need to reinstall windows

check ZCP in mcm menu, maybe you enabled the 'broken pda' opti on

[lilac meteor]

yes i did, i thought that was enabling the pda drops on stalkers

Thats fixed it

[weak berry]

Where's the case sidorovich asks you to steal from the roadblock?

[timid edge]

found a locked safe in Bandit compound, any way of getting in there?

[terse aspen]

The game has a memory leak, possible that may be the cause if it only starts to happen after you have been playing for a while. Try restarting the game every few hours. Also select 'Delete shader cache' on the launcher.

[glacial shadow]

hey guys I'm having an issue with ctd at start when deactivating JSRS and the 2 JSRS patches

I tried adding/removing other addons and it works fine

[charred rivet]

Yes

[supple basalt]

Umm guys can anyone help with the ecologists questline

i've been sent to Red forest to recover some PDA for an ecologist in army warehouse

i searched all tunnels in Red forest and can't find PDA anywhere

[north turret]

searching for pda
red forest

https://tenor.com/view/nollywood-cry-desespoir-black-boy-cry-black-kid-cry-gif-21448854

they send you to the shadow realm

it will be like searching for a needle in a haystack

[supple basalt]

i'm telling you dude i've looked all possible tunnels there twice over

can't find no PDA

[languid leaf]

i've just updated the pack, loaded a save and now i've got a constant blurry vision/cross-eyed effect almost like i've taken meds

but theres nothing wrong with my character

[north turret]

screenshot?

[graceful iron]

depth of field/motion blurr?

[languid leaf]

turned off

[graceful iron]

do send a screenshot of it

[north turret]

nvgs?

[languid leaf]

will do give me a sec

[north turret]

the nvgs have a blurry overlay

I had a thing like that with the busy hands bug where the nvgs wouldn't work and only the blurry overlay would turn on

[graceful iron]

do you really think someone wont be able to tell the difference between with/without nvgs?

[graceful iron]

oh ok

[north turret]

I'm just saying dude

[languid leaf]

i've turned it on and off and it hasn't fixed it

[north turret]

some meds have really lasting effects

[languid leaf]

i see what you mean i think i've had something like that in the past

[north turret]

also could be psy-dogs

[languid leaf]

i've slept for like 24 hours

just ran from the bar to freedom base

just incase and still nothing

[north turret]

yeah some meds have really long effects I believe something insane like 1200 seconds

[graceful iron]

i dont think this is a med effect

[north turret]

you have hud turned on?

this seems like a med effect to me

[languid leaf]

yeah

[north turret]

psydog vision is only brief

[languid leaf]

med effect would appear in the bottom left

[north turret]

are you sure you don't have hud on?

off*

I meant off

[languid leaf]

hud is on in settings

[glacial shadow]

Can anyone help me

[north turret]

press the dot next to the 0 on the numpad

[graceful iron]

why deactivate them?

[glacial shadow]

Potato pc

[graceful iron]

jsrs is a sound mod

[north turret]

jsrs has no problems as far as i know

[glacial shadow]

yes and it's very heavy

[graceful iron]

[north turret]

heavy?

wha-

[graceful iron]

...

[north turret]

a sound mod?
heavy?

what you smoking bro (no offense just a joke)

[glacial shadow]

it's suggested to deactivate it in the performance thread

[graceful iron]

its not jsrs

bro

[north turret]

its a last ditch suggestion

its like a

if all else fails

you can do this I suppose

[glacial shadow]

it ain't, last ditch is using dx8

[north turret]

otherwise JSRS has very very little impact on performance

keep it on

thats one of the least tasking mods

[glacial shadow]

Quite the contrary, trust me whenever a firefight starts everything stutters

[graceful iron]

wait a sec

[north turret]

@languid leaf what happened?

[graceful iron]

maybe there is more patches to it

[glacial shadow]

and when I use vanilla gun sounds it doesn't happen

[graceful iron]

let me check

[languid leaf]

i've figured out what it was

i think

[north turret]

hud?

[glacial shadow]

nope I checked a lot

[languid leaf]

something was draining my psy health incredibly slowly

so i didn't notice

[glacial shadow]

I only found 2 patches

[north turret]

uhhh

psydogs?

[languid leaf]

took of my empty in its artifact module, change levels and it isn't blurry anymore

[north turret]

interesting

[languid leaf]

i dont think it has any effect on that though

[north turret]

artifacts reduce flat stats they don't have lasting effects apart from healing ,radiation and bleeding

everything else is flat stats as far as I know

[languid leaf]

although it seems to have a -0 satiety that i don't remember it having

[graceful iron]

what error are you getting?

[glacial shadow]

Where can I see the log?

[north turret]

interesting

[languid leaf]

yeah the second i put the empty on, vision goes blurry

[north turret]

in the anomaly folder

[graceful iron]

anomaly/appdata

[north turret]

yes

[glacial shadow]

lemme check

[nimble axle]

hrmm... my nightvision goggles stopped working. my screen goes blurry and i hear them being turned on, etc... but no night vision

any ideas wtf this is?

[north turret]

busy hands

its busy hands

[languid leaf]

reload a save

[north turret]

in my experience reloading crashes

lol

[languid leaf]

yeah

sometimes it does

[north turret]

make sure you don't have the nvg ON when you reload

[graceful iron]

console>save bug> close game >open game > load bug

[nimble axle]

hmm. saved, tried loading save, crashed

[north turret]

yes

exactly

[graceful iron]

its fine just open the game and load

[north turret]

its been tried and tested that it causes a crash

[languid leaf]

does anyone else have an empty on their character that they could try?

[north turret]

if you do have the fdda animations running make sure to let every animation finish

[weak berry]

sidorovich asked me to get a case at the cordon roadblock for info on scar and i cannot find it for the life of me

[nimble axle]

ayeeee worked like a charm

thanks guys 🙂

[north turret]

👍

happy to help

[graceful iron]

i think its intended for too many empty/full empty artefacts to cause that

[languid leaf]

i only have the one

[graceful iron]

not sure about the specifics

but i have seen it before

[languid leaf]

hmm

[glacial shadow]

Here's the log

[graceful iron]

you could have just drag/dropped it here

as a text file

[north turret]

https://tenor.com/view/ken-jeong-community-too-small-to-read-read-reading-gif-5494204

[glacial shadow]

I'm on mobile haha as I said potato pc

[north turret]

nah its ok

some file is missing

from what I can see

[glacial shadow]

took too long to open discord

[warped ginkgo]

if you didn't add any mod on top of gamma

[graceful iron]

i dont think you can disable jsrs.
