[warped ginkgo]

or disabled any mod

like, only left vanilla gamma and only clicked play after you downloaded

[graceful iron]

he tried to disable jsrs cuz of framerate

[glacial shadow]

it says you can in the fos optimization guide tho 😦

[warped ginkgo]

ah

[graceful iron]

old and maybe untested

some things do work

[warped ginkgo]

did you disable the patches too?

[glacial shadow]

Yes

[graceful iron]

i found 3 patches

you said you found 2

[north turret]

disable every mod for optimisation 👌

https://tenor.com/view/donald-trump-really-oh-really-well-gif-7605661

[glacial shadow]

3? One is for bas, one is for animations and the third one is?

[graceful iron]

not sure which ones of these exactly

[glacial shadow]

Bruh

[north turret]

damn

[graceful iron]

just search jsrs

[glacial shadow]

how did I miss those I checked like 5 times

lemme check

[supple basalt]

Hmm i can't seem to be able to empower Heart of the oasis artefact. Any suggestions ?

[graceful iron]

use filter

[graceful iron]

craft it?

i think

same with volat emerald

[supple basalt]

can craft it but then

it's still going to be crafted in low condition no ?

[glacial shadow]

Yeah it's booting up, fingers crossed

and it crashed again

fuck my life

[graceful iron]

i thought something else depends on jsrs

maybe bas

idk

[glacial shadow]

same error as before

Missing file

[graceful iron]

are you starting a new save?

[glacial shadow]

it doesn't even start

[graceful iron]

i thought you said it booted as in started the main menu

[glacial shadow]

Nope

it doesn't even get there

[north turret]

dang

sorry , gamma machine broke

[glacial shadow]

dammit

It literally says "disable jsrs and patches" in the framerate section

bruh 😢

[north turret]

did you disable ALL that say jsrs

[glacial shadow]

yeah

[graceful iron]

try other things than jsrs

[north turret]

well time to disable all mods then lo l

[graceful iron]

i think it might be tied to other stuff and cant be just disabled without them

other than the patches

[glacial shadow]

hmm I'll try without bas

it's the only weapon addon if I'm not mistaken

[graceful iron]

i think currently yes

[north turret]

you know shit is bad when you don't even get to the title screen

[fresh aspen]

There's a mod to make companions less rushy? They just rush a full squad of enemies at gets killed in a seconds

[glacial shadow]

but I don't think it's bas

It has its own sfx

[north turret]

I don't think so

[graceful iron]

i said i guess it could be but maybe not

[north turret]

make them ignore combat I guess

if you use them as backpacks

[nimble axle]

is there a fix yet for all artefacts being found in super low condition, or is this intended?

[covert kestrel]

intended

new artifact rework

[fresh aspen]

i use them as fighters but i want to stay with me and shoot enemies not to rush alone like headless chickens

[covert kestrel]

LLMC is also planned to be removed as it can mess with artifact condition when put in and out

[nimble axle]

got it. we need to use the new craft station to repair?

[north turret]

next artifact rework when?

[covert kestrel]

yeppers, gotta use the melter

[nimble axle]

kk

thx!

[glacial shadow]

Yah as I though it doesn't work

[north turret]

damn

[glacial shadow]

well then I guess I'll wait for a fix

probably some vanilla guns are missing their sounds and jsrs provides them

it does say some ar sound is missing

can anyone try disabling jsrs and see if you get the same issue?

[graceful iron]

try without disabling the patches

the game starts at least

[glacial shadow]

weird

All 4 patches?

[graceful iron]

without disabling any patches

just dont come complaining about any weird sound issues

[glacial shadow]

duh haha

I'll try

[graceful iron]

it works for me

started a new save

[graceful iron]

anomaly companions are not fighters, they are moving disasters

hip almost killed me today , still not sure what the heck she was trying to shoot when she emptied a whole mag of ak74 into me as i was moving around trying to not get shot by her or some military

[north turret]

disable the pc?

[glacial shadow]

imagine using companions in stalker

[graceful iron]

https://tenor.com/view/sarcasm-hahaha-not-funny-lame-i-dont-care-gif-4917610

does the game launch now?

[glacial shadow]

it's true tho they kinda ruin the atmosphere by just going Rambo against enemies you can't even see yet

Yeah it launched

[graceful iron]

ok good

[glacial shadow]

I'll start a new game and asses the damage

[graceful iron]

still dont know how true "jsrs is a heavy mod" is

but you do you

[glacial shadow]

Hey try using it on a potato and watch your pc explode whenever firing a gun

and stop making fun of me mkay

I got feelings

[graceful iron]

i had a shitty laptop to play on at some point and i played EFP2.2 on that on lowest settings just fine (25-50 fps)

[glacial shadow]

How much ram?

[graceful iron]

it was cpu/gpu bottle necked like shit but had a decent 16 gb ram

somehow

[tidal raft]

Can't hear you over the sound of my water-cooled RTX 2080.

Sorry for your loss..

[graceful iron]

china produced

[glacial shadow]

Yeah I got 4 so you can see how jsrs is heavy for me haha

[glacial shadow]

It probably stole all your personal data then

[graceful iron]

how do you try to game on 4 gb

[glacial shadow]

I ain't got better

[graceful iron]

[languid leaf]

damn thats rough

[tidal raft]

All companies do that nowadays. Not China excusively.

[graceful iron]

but china is the funniest to meme about

i guess

[glacial shadow]

you haven't checked the tiktok privacy stuff then

and yes it's fun to meme about china

[tidal raft]

I don't use TikTok, or any social media application.

[graceful iron]

youtube

[tidal raft]

Fine line there.

[glacial shadow]

checkmate

[graceful iron]

tiktok isnt even good for content still dont get why people even use it

[glacial shadow]

eh it's made for you to keep scrolling

Dopamine high and shit

[graceful iron]

tell us if the game crashes. next time it does blame your 4

[glacial shadow]

it's loading haha

And if it crashes it's not gonna be my 4

[supple basalt]

I think NVG mod is causing issues/crashes

[graceful iron]

what is it gonne be then?

[glacial shadow]

Played plenty of games with my 4

gamma problem hehe

[graceful iron]

[tidal raft]

I bet it's pebcak.

[glacial shadow]

I played plenty of anomaly with it and had no issues

[graceful iron]

games from 1990?

[tidal raft]

boom

[glacial shadow]

the last one was dark souls 2 but that game is surprisingly light for what it is

[graceful iron]

[glacial shadow]

fallout new vegas, kenshi

ds1

[graceful iron]

fallout? how

[tidal raft]

DS2 was downgraded.

[glacial shadow]

It's super light

[tidal raft]

New Vegas is not that demanding.

[glacial shadow]

Ye

[languid leaf]

pretty sure 4gb was recommended requirements when nv came out

[glacial shadow]

yup

I even played war thunder on this laptop

[tidal raft]

NV was twelve years ago, though.

[glacial shadow]

hey not everyone can afford a nasa pc

especially nowadays with all the shortages

[tidal raft]

You don't need to purchase the latest and most expensive to have decent RAM.

[glacial shadow]

Tru dat, but it's on the bottom of my priority list

[languid leaf]

are you playing on a laptop or a desktop?

[glacial shadow]

Laptop

[languid leaf]

what laptop is it?

[glacial shadow]

Btw works fine, even with my 4gb ram :))) @graceful iron

Asus

Not sure about the model

[languid leaf]

could probably get some bigger sticks for it for fairly cheap depending on age

it would definitely help

but up to you ultimately

[glacial shadow]

It's got 4gb ram, nvidia 900M gpu (or 600? Can't remember), 2.0 ghz processor

I know but I'm saving up atm, gaming is just a pastime after all

[languid leaf]

fair enough

i suppose i cant talk with my 3080

[north turret]

you can't.

banned

[languid leaf]

lmao

[glacial shadow]

nope you can't haha

[tidal raft]

no u

[north turret]

[glacial shadow]

I'm gonna shoot up the rookie village and see how my audio is doing without jsrs

hold my PM

[north turret]

quicksaves

[languid leaf]

spawn in a bunch of weapons a test em

[glacial shadow]

no gun sounds AHAHAHAH

[north turret]

he went deaf

[languid leaf]

lmao

[glacial shadow]

I guess jsrs is essential then

[graceful iron]

https://tenor.com/view/joker-dont-say-i-didnt-warn-you-gif-15366592

[glacial shadow]

they should change the frame rate optimization guide because you DEFINITELYcant play without jsrs

[glacial shadow]

We live in a society

[north turret]

Haven't updated and played in a while and my fps is sub 30. Is there anything that could be slowing me down?

[glacial shadow]

yes jsrs

[graceful iron]

[north turret]

Oh did I walk into the same convo

[glacial shadow]

im gonna take a shower, too much frustrated gamer sweat buildup

Later

[graceful iron]

could be the memory leak ?

[graceful iron]

later

[north turret]

only 230 mods

not much

[north turret]

Nah I just opened the game and started new file

[graceful iron]

oh nvm i guess

did you play after you last updated?

did it have better fps?

[north turret]

I used to be around 60 I thought

[graceful iron]

did you check visual settings and shaders?

[north turret]

I'll delete my shader cache

protip for extra fps
put the grass density slider all the way to the right
this is a hidden tip you will get 6969420fps(just a joke don't do it lol)

I'll check my Nvidia settings too

[graceful iron]

please dont

[north turret]

Maybe I have MSAA on

I'm sorry

I had to

[graceful iron]

if someone does this and comes complaining i am muting you

[north turret]

dont

DONT EVER LAUNCH ANOMALY AT 3AM!!!

a demon called your mom will enter the room and slap you

[graceful iron]

[north turret]

Ok I'll stop

I'm having a bit too much fun

[tidal raft]

What is wrong with you?

[graceful iron]

yes

[north turret]

ok dont ban me

[graceful iron]

lets send him to shitpost jail for a day or something

[tidal raft]

Agreed.

[north turret]

.....

[tidal raft]

We could ask Grok to create a server roll of "Shitposters" whom only have access to #🎪bruh-fart .

[graceful iron]

vans pebble first

8van after

[north turret]

BRUH

stop man

[graceful iron]

who else?

[tidal raft]

Provak

[graceful iron]

yes

ofc

[north turret]

provak first actually

him and him only

[tidal raft]

You next.

[north turret]

no

what did I do

[graceful iron]

oh nothing

just existed

[north turret]

ok blame my mom for that one not me

[tidal raft]

Do you really want me to screencap your twenty+ posts into a collage?

[north turret]

am I gonna get banned?

[graceful iron]

this is too much for me i will get a heart attack

[north turret]

put it in a hall of fame channel

[tidal raft]

Or a 'guideline'.
Don't do this.

[north turret]

.........

ok I'm convinced this guy hates me now

[graceful iron]

hall of dont try this at home kids

[graceful iron]

what makes you say that

[north turret]

idk

the way he acts towards me

I fee like ima get a ban any minute

[graceful iron]

okay

[north turret]

tbh most of the hall of fame channel will be full of vans

[graceful iron]

[tidal raft]

#╟❓general-offtopic message

[graceful iron]

and this guy

[north turret]

ok I won't talk anymore

if that's what you want

[graceful iron]

maybe he just has something against cats

[north turret]

you have a cat pfp aswell

[tidal raft]

I use Compact View.

[tidal raft]

Yes, I dislike cats. It is, however, irrelevant to this topic.

[graceful iron]

[warped ginkgo]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-weird-weird-cat-beurk-hugojv-gif-17865869

[graceful iron]

says the soviet spy

[tidal raft]

French spy.

[graceful iron]

oh pardon me then

french spy

[north turret]

french fry?

[tidal raft]

You need to be more careful with how snarky you are, and how you inject that snarkiness into others' conversations.

[north turret]

I wasn't joking

[tidal raft]

I'm referring to earlier comments.

[graceful iron]

[tidal raft]

@north turret
Giving someone lip once or twice is fine, but if it is all the time you come across as rude—childish even.
I'm not banning you. Just be a bit more mindful when your impulse to snark happens.

[north turret]

sure sure I just won't speak

np

[glacial shadow]

so long for the "questions" channel

more like shitpost haven

[desert robin]

Anyone else really dislike how rain looks? the white lines and how it appears just seems a bit off...

[tidal raft]

After that internal thought, you decided to give it voice in form of your own ' sarcastic shitposting'?

[glacial shadow]

are you always this funny or are you trying super hard today?

asking for a friend 🙂

[tidal raft]

First warning.

[desert robin]

oof. Dude you trying tog et banned?

[glacial shadow]

no pls

lmao didn't know he was a mod

[tidal raft]

Not knowing doesn't justify that sort of behaviour—toward anyone. Be careful.

[desert robin]

Shouldnt matter lol. Just be cool man, play te gam.

[glacial shadow]

I'm cool, I just sensed a little bit of hostility

[brisk zinc]

He's just trying to keep every section in topic, like any mod would do

[glacial shadow]

Btw does the known issues channel load for you? I'd like to check it out but it doesn't load

[brisk zinc]

Yes I can open it just fine

What do you need?

[glacial shadow]

just see if I could find an answer to why the game doesn't work without jsrs

[brisk zinc]

I think that GAMMA has it?

[glacial shadow]

wat

[brisk zinc]

JSRS

[glacial shadow]

yeah?

[brisk zinc]

It's my modlist, I've just searched for JSRS, I don't know if it is what you're searching though

[glacial shadow]

oooh

No I was trying to see why if I disable jsrs the game won't start

since it says you can disable it to improve performance

[tidal raft]

He's questioning why Anomaly doesn't have gunfire sounds without JSRS on a new savefile.

[glacial shadow]

No this happens only if you don't disable the jsrs patches

[brisk zinc]

So, with those add-on enabled (by default) you DON'T hear gunfire?

[glacial shadow]

if you disable jsrs + patches (as it says in fps improving channel) the game ctd's immediately

[glacial shadow]

no, I want to disable jsrs but it crashs if I do

even tho I should be able to play without it

[brisk zinc]

I'll try it too, what exactly did you disable?

[glacial shadow]

jsrs + all jsrs patches, as it says in framerate opt.

but I get ctd

[brisk zinc]

Okay I have the same problem

At this point I'll pin it in #old-bugs so Grok can see it

[glacial shadow]

very nice

thx

[supple basalt]

Has anyone found how to obtain crafting recipes for exo power supply ?

[brisk zinc]

#│📚manual message

[supple basalt]

ahh... sweet.

[median hinge]

where can i buy 5.45x39? cant find it in any of the traders i´ve come across so far

[delicate wharf]

requires 1k rep with wp faction traders afaik

so loners, duty etc

[median hinge]

ah okay, thanks!:)

[delicate wharf]

crafting is the way to go for ammo you can't find at traders

[willow hawk]

No but don't troll too much in serious channels

[north turret]

sorry

[warped ginkgo]

you keep trolling huh? well i hope you enjoy your ban

[charred rivet]

Yeah

game won't launch for me and my friend no matter waht we both do

[timid edge]

what's the max level for traders? The Hunter in Garbage doesn't seem to level as well, is that just happening to me?

[brisk zinc]

Should be 5

[timid edge]

Do i just keep feeding Spirit booze to level him?

[brisk zinc]

I think so
Can't help you with that, I have the same question too

if I go to Yantar I'll try it

[soft leaf]

so i got a contract killer on a freedom guy a few days ago

and to this day even lukash hates me

can't progress story mode

is there any way to make npcs friendly again?

[glossy zenith]

Where can i find the setting for taking damage if encumbered/overweight

Having a little trouble finding it

3 KG overweight and it completely took my legs out and half of my HP on whole body 🤣

[timid edge]

i'm there, i'll test it

[glossy zenith]

dang its still not working for you?

[timid edge]

it's there, look closely.

[charred rivet]

Not even working for my friend.

fresh installed and everything

it was working just fine then i tried getting my friend into it but it's just dead now no matter what i do for myself and him.

He gave up on trying and i'm probably gonna take a break delete it and come back to this later.

[brisk zinc]

#╰🩹known-issues message

You could try this

[glacial shadow]

Bois

I'm installing a new addon, and it appears below "end of loader" in MO

should I leave it there? It's the classic textures addon

[glossy zenith]

Where can i find the setting for taking damage if encumbered/overweight?

[glossy zenith]

Yeah man it can be a headache installing this mod

modding a mod

[soft leaf]

yeah just did that

[charred rivet]

You said it not me, But i won't deny what you claim.

[glossy zenith]

I was gonna give up too after I couldnt get it to work but then realized I skipped crucial step. Updating the GAMMA launcher which I thought I could just skip. Figured the mod author wouldve just updated the original files

[charred rivet]

Anomally is considered a base game since it's after all of the other games and is made by the community

[glossy zenith]

yeah lol they didnt like that I said it was a headache to install

[desert robin]

Check what it over-writes. It should be ok if it's just textures. Being at the bottom means it takes priority because it loads last, over all other mods that have the same files (if any) But yes any non-included mods should probably go last i think

[charred rivet]

atleast i think so

[glossy zenith]

like im not trying to talk sh*t im just saying "jeez that was a headache"

[charred rivet]

1st time installing it i think it claimed to be easy xD

[glacial shadow]

It's world textures only so it should be fine at the end I guess?

[desert robin]

One way to find out

[glacial shadow]

Yupp

[brisk zinc]

I think it's because it's not that hard, it's literally all done for you, you just need to create two folders, one .txt file and follow some steps

[glacial shadow]

Hope my toaster doesn't blow up

[glossy zenith]

never said it was hard

just a headache lol

im done talking about it tho

[charred rivet]

Don't ask how many times me and my friend had to restart just because we missed the portable txt file lmfao

[glossy zenith]

not gonna start a passive aggressive argument in here

[brisk zinc]

See?

[charred rivet]

Like

[brisk zinc]

There's no need to, I'm simply discussing the matter with you, no problem at all

[glacial shadow]

ahahahaha aaah shit here we go again

[charred rivet]

he needs to edit that to make that 1 step bold and he has to repeat it multiple times for that not to happen

[glossy zenith]

Love you guys

[brisk zinc]

We even have a video for it, it's seriously not that hard

[glacial shadow]

our lord and savior wavey

[brisk zinc]

But I understand that someone can find it difficult

[charred rivet]

that 1 step was over stepped about 5 times untill it was burned into my memory. now i can do the entire mod by heart but it just won't fucking work and it's a major headache and deppressing and tiring to continue trying

[glossy zenith]

I have to use text instructions, its much easier for me

cuz im STOOOOPID

[charred rivet]

wanna know mwhat anoys me the most

[glossy zenith]

?

[charred rivet]

Let me show you

[glacial shadow]

don't feel bad guys I've struggled too

took me 1 day and a half to get it done

[glossy zenith]

I know how frustrating it can be man, u just want to play and enjoy it so bad and its all there for you to do but....you just cant

[glacial shadow]

mostly because the installer download link wasn't working but that's besides the point

[glossy zenith]

took me 2 hours I think

[brisk zinc]

@glossy zenith I'll see if I can find what you need, that thing about being overweight

[glossy zenith]

yeah im like 3 KG overweight and it completely wiped my legs to 0% and half my overall HP

it was a bit overkill

[desert robin]

https://tenor.com/view/penguins-of-madagascar-skipper-just-smile-and-wave-boys-smile-and-wave-smiling-and-waving-gif-23546540

[glossy zenith]

I would really appreciate it, I looked for like 15 mins but no luck. If you can just point me to what tab its under

🤣

I was just trying to avoid a dispute or argument

[charred rivet]

@glossy zenith The fact you can't just click install and follow the instructions, You have to also make sure you check when they update the launcher and You need a total of 2 major files yet the v3 one just needs to be cut and added to the other one when they could just update that so 1 file is needed.

[brisk zinc]

@glossy zenith are you sure you have 100% health for limbs?

[glossy zenith]

yep

was 100%

[charred rivet]

let me explain in more deph

[brisk zinc]

@charred rivet can you take that conversation in #╟❓general-offtopic please? So we can continue with questions here (because you know, #🔨base-gamma-support )

[glossy zenith]

I seen a firefight up ahead and ran like 10 feet and my guy goes "AHHHHHH" and my legs were done for

[brisk zinc]

Hmmm

So RL and LL are at 100%, correct? (right leg and left leg)

[glossy zenith]

I just wanted to tune the damage down a bit or turn off if possible

yeah give me few mins ill give some screens

[brisk zinc]

It's because this is the first time I hear talking about "I'm overweight and my legs hurt", it's strange

[glossy zenith]

ok one leg is actually like 98-99% but its so small looks full. Is that the problem?

[brisk zinc]

I get it, immersion and all, but this is too much

[hushed dust]

followed every bit of instructions...still no dice after two days of trying everything...

[brisk zinc]

There is one option for legs, let me find it real quick

[glossy zenith]

I found the encumbrance effects speed option but no health/damage

[timid edge]

@glossy zenith there are options to mitigate negative effects of limbs. Look for them.

[brisk zinc]

When you're in game

See if you can find something there

[glossy zenith]

I didnt think it was my weight doing it at first but I have no other maladies/injuries

[brisk zinc]

Yes there is this add-on but nothing for being overweight

[glossy zenith]

Whiskey I get it dude if u dont wanna answer just carry on man

Ive been looking at cant find so just let me talk to someone else

Block me if it helps

[timid edge]

@brisk zinc So i gave Spirit a shit ton of booze and nothing came of it. Not sure if there has to be a reload or time passage for his lvl to increase. I don't think so from what i remember with the other traders. I think he is a lost cause in that matter

[glossy zenith]

Ok Falcoman im gonna do some experimenting. I must be mistaking it.

[timid edge]

@glossy zenith that was the second time i said something, wasn't sure you seen the first one. JEEZ!

[glossy zenith]

I did but no need to reply

[brisk zinc]

Come on guys there's no need to get angry over nothing

[glossy zenith]

sorry

im not angry tho. Ok back to my game.

[warped ginkgo]

Too real man

[brisk zinc]

Let me know if you manage to solve it

[hushed dust]

anyone got time to walk me through entire install 🧛🏿‍♂️

[brisk zinc]

Tell me

[timid edge]

lol!

[glossy zenith]

im sorry for being rude @timid edge

[timid edge]

all good. You weren't rude.

[brisk zinc]

@glossy zenith you have some artefacts on you?

Anything like that?

[glossy zenith]

yes I do

[brisk zinc]

Hmmmmmmmm

Like what

[glossy zenith]

see now its not happening again

the damage

just a sec

[hushed dust]

all this and when i launch...gm doesn't launch @brisk zinc

[brisk zinc]

Well hello there

Using some extra add-ons

Or it's all default?

[warped ginkgo]

[hushed dust]

lol. i thought it was all defalut

[brisk zinc]

It can't be

I have 230 add-ons

You have 270

[warped ginkgo]

There are some addons that are disabled

[brisk zinc]

[warped ginkgo]

For a reason

Maybe you disabled them

[brisk zinc]

enabled*

[warped ginkgo]

Enabled*

[brisk zinc]

@hushed dust check this section

They need to be disabled

[warped ginkgo]

Or you can run the installer again, since there arent any new updates It Will only refresh the modlist and unticke the ones that are meant to be disabled

It Will take 5-10 min

[brisk zinc]

Yes, that too

I still think he have something extra

[brisk zinc]

With all my add-on enabled I get to like 250

[hushed dust]

so do i need to erase everything and rerun it or just rerun for updates @warped ginkgo

[warped ginkgo]

No

Just run the installer again

Click on update gama

[brisk zinc]

@glossy zenith anything on your belt? Those are fine

[warped ginkgo]

And then on install gamma

[glossy zenith]

Those are my two artefacts. Idk what caused that random health drop, its not happening anymore. I just figured it was me being overweight from past experience.

[warped ginkgo]

DO NOT SELECT complete gamma installation

[glossy zenith]

I have a plate!

[brisk zinc]

I don't think that's the problem, I had a plate too

[glossy zenith]

Kevlar plate, btw is that even the right place to put it?

[brisk zinc]

Yes it is

[glossy zenith]

thats so sick

[brisk zinc]

If you put your mouse pointer on one object, it highlight where you can put it

@hushed dust do this

[glossy zenith]

lol thats my ammo finder move

ok well thank you for the help @brisk zinc sorry for the confusion lol

Im a dork

[brisk zinc]

What happen?

Did you find the problem?

[glossy zenith]

Idk what it was but its not happening again

I was standing next to NPC who was in firefight

[brisk zinc]

Oh okay, don't worry, maybe it was a bug, it could be

[glossy zenith]

I was right behind that pipe facing left side of screen

maybe a collision error or something with terrain or objects? it was so weird like I fell from high drop or something

[brisk zinc]

It could also be that

[hushed dust]

oh i pressed complete gamma that's what other guy said to do lol @brisk zinc

i'm not gonna give up on this lol. I want to play this game really bad

[brisk zinc]

Well at this point let's see how it goes

[glossy zenith]

You NEED to play it

[glossy zenith]

Thats where I messed up too, if you dont update the launcher the buttons wont have the correct text from the instructions

Thats the part that messed it up for me and for people who havent manually modded a game before it can be confusing as hell. Really makes you appreciate Steam Workshop for what it is

[hushed dust]

also, all these errors...any thoughts lol

[brisk zinc]

https://www.moddb.com/

Open it

Tell me what you see

[hushed dust]

website?? @brisk zinc

[brisk zinc]

Yes

Open it

[hushed dust]

i did

it's a functional website

[brisk zinc]

Discord is having problems, maybe

Can you read me?

[brisk zinc]

Okay, you're not blocked

Are you using the last installer? Just to be sure

[hushed dust]

yes i have latest

[brisk zinc]

Okay

Do this:

Open your GAMMA folder, delete ONLY "mods" folder, only that folder, no you won't download 60 GB of mods, don't worry

Then, open the installer and this time do this

Before you do this, check your "downloads" folder too

See if you have anything old

If you can't tell the difference, take some pics and let me see

[hushed dust]

ok. deleting mods

folder

there's nothing int he downloqds folder

[brisk zinc]

Nothing?

It's impossible

[brisk zinc]

You have stuff here

You can't have nothing

[north turret]

how can i make the sky less washed out?

[hushed dust]

@brisk zinc

[north turret]

i tried turning off enhanced shaders and related files but i keep getting shader compilation errors

[hushed dust]

@brisk zinc

any of that old

[brisk zinc]

Send the pic again

Anyway, if you don't have nothing, follow the procedure

Don't know how that's possible but you'll have to download everything again

[hushed dust]

no i do have downloads

[brisk zinc]

...you just said you don't

[hushed dust]

@brisk zinc

[warped ginkgo]

how many archives do you have in 'downloads' folder?

[hushed dust]

a lot @warped ginkgo

[brisk zinc]

You can see the number in the folder

Bottom left

[hushed dust]

262

[brisk zinc]

I'm pretty sure you have old ones

[hushed dust]

some say META file and some say Archive

[north turret]

reshgade i think

btw how much fps are you getting @north turret

[brisk zinc]

Yeah I see that, check if you have the same files but different versions

[timid edge]

is there suppose to be a kit i can use to fix really damaged armor components?

[hushed dust]

yes appears i do have that @brisk zinc

[brisk zinc]

Delete them and keep the newest one

[brisk zinc]

I think they are the only one and they don't even go that low

If you have something below 50% it's mechanic time

Like myself that I've just found this piece of shit and it's 29%

[delicate wharf]

for armors you generally don't need to find every mat. You can find like 2-3 of the materials in enough condition to repair and then the armor is good enough to repair with normal stuff

[hushed dust]

ok good @brisk zinc

[brisk zinc]

Follow that procedure now

How many mods do you have now?

[north turret]

40-50 on max settings

wowww

how much worse are my specs compared to yours?

idk

oh okay

also if u figured out how to play the game with the performance-intensive mods off lmk please

[hushed dust]

what does emta mean

Meta

[north turret]

in what context

[hushed dust]

in terms of files

[north turret]

oh idk

[timid edge]

directions i think. Open it and see what is inside. - looks like it is just a go to identification file.

[north turret]

ill probably get above 60fps if i turn off nvidia MSAA

these didnt install right is that okay??

i just want to fix the washed out sky

[timid edge]

i think people are trying to hard to get this game to look like a shiny piece of gold when it was made to run a dull piece of coal.

[north turret]

i mean the vanilla games and OGSR dont have this

[timid edge]

i'm running into a couple instances now where i am missing a mat, or the mat is in bad shape. But the one thing i didnt consider is changing what i have and then taking it to a mechanic to do the rest. 😄

[brisk zinc]

T.H.A.P. needs to be installed so there is a problem, Maids is fine

[cinder hearth]

how tf do yall progress in this game. i spend all the money i get from missions on recovering from them (medkits and food and bullets) and my armor/gun condition just keep going down

[north turret]

i already have a different THAP installed though

[north turret]

welcome to anomaly LOL

[delicate wharf]

You probably don't even need a mechanic. Once you replace the parts you do have at 100% the armor will hopefully have enough condition to just throw normal sewing kits etc at it

[cinder hearth]

nah regular anomaly isn't like this

[brisk zinc]

Doesn't matter (yes you have a newer version)

[north turret]

gamma is moer survival focused

so dont be relying on buying stuff i suppose

[cinder hearth]

so what am i supposed to do

conjure medkits out of thin air?

[north turret]

stop getting hit

be sneaky

[cinder hearth]

i try but it's very hard especially fighting mutants

[north turret]

idk then i havent played the mod much yet because it lags too much

where are you?

[brisk zinc]

Don't get hit, simple

• task, tasks and more tasks

[timid edge]

Cripes! I wish i would have thought of that before i field stripped this gun i found. Argh!

[brisk zinc]

Artefact hunting too

[cinder hearth]

tasks sure. but tasks get me like 7k and cost me like 8k

[scenic pulsar]

Just do easy missions for a white, like kill mutants, kill a stalker, find document. Do missions close by and stay away from going further north than rostok.

[north turret]

guys what file do i edit to make it so using the vice is free?

[north turret]

well that sounds boring

[scenic pulsar]

You asked, and no, there are lots of random crap happening all around lol

[delicate wharf]

guns are a bit different since the part condition isn't tied to overall condition. The nice thing about armor is if you get the condition high enough to repair the overall condition it repairs the parts

[scenic pulsar]

You don't need the vice once you get basic tools

[cinder hearth]

something that i'm thinking about doing which would kind of defeat the purpose of gamma is to basically play it like tarkov:
turn up the condition of enemy loot but turn on minecraft respawn and don't go back for old loot

[timid edge]

Play around with the graphics settings. Grok says not to go below 50 with the textures. So just set them all at 50. Check your distance loads, and make sure your shadows are off or minimal. I turned grass shadow and player shadow off.

[cinder hearth]

but then i might as well be playing vanilla, no point in having this weapon maitenance

:/

[north turret]

but i want to use the vice because its fun

[timid edge]

The biggest system usage on this game is shadows, distances, and a-life.

[scenic pulsar]

Also ask every stalker you meet for missions and keep the mutant parts on you at all times, you can get lots of stashes this way

[north turret]

wow okay

why is everyone trying to turn this game into EFT also?:

[brisk zinc]

What are you talking about?

[north turret]

anomaly

why does everyone try and turn anomaly into EFT

[brisk zinc]

Oh Anomaly in general you mean

I don't know

GAMMA it's different

[north turret]

i hear it is

[scenic pulsar]

If anything, I would like EFT to be like anomaly

[north turret]

but it runs 10x worse than EFP so i uninstalled it, then installed EFP and got bored, then uninstalled it and installed gamma, but gave up trying to optimize it then uninstalled it, now im re-installing it again 🤦

[hushed dust]

lmao now every folder addon red @brisk zinc

i can't lol

[north turret]

i like EFT's shooting mechanics (like how you can cover fire, the cool movements you can do like falling to the side while prone and things like that) but its kind of a crap survival game, it would be cool if there was deathmatch modes

eft battlefield owuld be cool

[north turret]

go to the moddb site

and make sure they didnt time you out

[hushed dust]

nope

still can get on

i truly don't get this

it's been 48 hours

[brisk zinc]

It could be shitty servers

[timid edge]

essentially this. The biggest negative about the Stalker series is the progression system. You could get top tier everything and sell a few items and end up not playing half the game had to offer because you didn't need to anymore. Grok did a really good job putting a build together that actually utilizes everything that there is to offer in this game.

[north turret]

how do i install these?

[north turret]

are you talking about stalker in general or freeplay mods

[brisk zinc]

Can you take this discussion to #╟❓general-offtopic? Thank you

[brisk zinc]

Maid is a known issue, it's optional, no problem

[timid edge]

i guess Stalker in general. The whole EFT is just a system that plays well with what was there to begin with.

[north turret]

@hushed dust ill try zipping my mods folder once i get this to work and send them to you

[brisk zinc]

For the second one, try this:

[north turret]

🤷 i guess its subjective

[hushed dust]

should i just delete all of ths

[brisk zinc]

@hushed dust I think it's the best option you got now

[timid edge]

not really. it is an objectively better experience playing Stalker with this mod pak.

i never played anomaly though.

[brisk zinc]

Guys?

It's #🔨base-gamma-support here, please

[north turret]

sorrey sir

[hushed dust]

anyone up for walking a noob through install?

[brisk zinc]

There is a video if you want

#old-how-to message

Or you can follow #old-how-to, it's not that hard

[hushed dust]

that's what i followed lol

[brisk zinc]

I'm sure you did everything the right way, since you have the latest installer

But those 271 add-on enabled are a problem

And I don't even know how you manage to get them, since the pack doesn't have 270 add-on but 230-ish enabled

The install is literally that guide, text or video, if you don't understand something you can ask me but you already did it one time, I'm sure you can do it a second

Most of the times if you don't manage to get a "clean install" it's because Moddb have shitty servers, hence all those errors

[north turret]

so can someone tell me which file to edit to change vice price?

[brisk zinc]

It's not that much 1000
(I don't know sorry)

[north turret]

i know but i just want it to be free

[brisk zinc]

Can't argue with that

You can always use your toolkit, if you have it

I think you can craft it too

[north turret]

is that just a pocket vice?

[brisk zinc]

Yeah basically

Same thing

But you can carry it around

[north turret]

okay cool

[scenic pulsar]

With max reputation I think it's free

[north turret]

oh really?

i'll keep it at 1k then i suppose

[scenic pulsar]

But basic tools do the same as the vice

[brisk zinc]

Yeah exactly

You need to find the basic one first, though

[north turret]

i dont want to just repair

i want to try using the new mechanics

[scenic pulsar]

the same

[north turret]

oh i misunderstood then

[scenic pulsar]

You can craft and upgrade

You'll need advanced and expert tools for some things, but also does the technician

[brisk zinc]

You can do anything you can with a mechanic

Without the mechanic

For free

But you need parts, obviously

[scenic pulsar]

Makes mechanics irrelevant after you find basic tools (they became just traders)

[north turret]

coooo

[delicate wharf]

I still use techs for upgrades since you may not have the right upgrade kit on hand

[scenic pulsar]

You are right, the vice becomes irrelevant

Not the techs

[hushed dust]

at this point my pride won't let me stop

[north turret]

@hushed dust what are you having trouble with kitten?

[hushed dust]

haha

just installing

[north turret]

whats wrong

[hushed dust]

i'm starting from beginning

[desert robin]

Hi guys, I've searched discord with no luck about this - What is the purpose of Compression Bags? Can you use them on sleeping bags you dont own, or something? I didnt spawn/start with one, but have found 2, but what is their actual purpose without a sleeping bag to put in? More over, i've not actually seen that you can buy any sleeping bag or acquire them separate FROM compression bags, so again what is their purpose on their own?

[north turret]

not 100% certain but i think you put a sleeping bag in it

[desert robin]

Yes that's right, but aside from that they do nothing, is what im wondering

[north turret]

i assume that once you pick up a sleeping bag it would go in the compression bag, just item bloat i guess

[desert robin]

Yes, it does do that but it seems only one you already own, and Sleeping Bags dont appear to be acquirable outside of the trader so it seems the Compression bag serves independantly no purpose. Yeah item bloat i guess.

[slim cypress]

Is it safe to not use the body health redux?

[north turret]

did hud_fov get increased recently? guns seem further away than before

and i'm noticing clipping with the TOZ on the actor hand and the stock

was able to get the sky looking slightly better as well

that bloom is awful lol

[north turret]

is there a way to change the hand model?

it looks really ugly

[glacial shadow]

are there any known fixes for memory leak?

it runs fine for 20 mins and then the game become a power point presentation

[brisk zinc]

Not yet unfortunately

We still doesn't know what's causing it

[glacial shadow]

damn

[brisk zinc]

For now you can delete your shader cache

And every 1-2 hour, close and reopen the game if you have memory leaks + delete shader cache

[glacial shadow]

Will do thx

I swear I've spent more time fixing stuff than playing haha

[slim cypress]

is it safe to untick the body health redux without causing a sea of issues or is it essential?

[north turret]

@slim cypress

[hushed dust]

when i create the portable i need to name it portable.txt right

[slim cypress]

bless

[north turret]

ya

[hushed dust]

does this look like right version of installer

if not, can someone direct me to latest version of installer

this is the one from #old-how-to thread

[warped ginkgo]

#📢announcements message

this one right?

[hushed dust]

damn so now how do i delete that bad version wihtout starting all over

smh

[brisk zinc]

Just portable

[delicate wharf]

what do you mean by bad version? just overwrite the installer files like that linked message says

[hushed dust]

but that one he linked is the exact one i downloaded

[glacial shadow]

@brisk zinc about that memory leak, maybe it could be linked to saving, because I've noticed that the more I save the more the game slows down

[hushed dust]

what do i do when this pops up

also, do i need to play Anomaly so that there is a save before doing all of this??

[warped ginkgo]

you need to launch anomaly once before installing gamma

[hushed dust]

lmao RIP

[delicate wharf]

its step 0 of the install instructions

[warped ginkgo]

man actualy failed at step 0

[delicate wharf]

you don't need to create a save

[hushed dust]

so, now i will need to restart entire thing

[warped ginkgo]

alright lets start from 0

go to your anomlay folder, launch the vanilla game

[delicate wharf]

would probably be easiest. Outside of downloading mods the whole install process takes < 10 minutes so not a big deal

[hushed dust]

Ok, so whats best thing for me to do at this point

[delicate wharf]

if you have downloaded some mods you can save the downloads folder

[warped ginkgo]

so whats your problem

[hushed dust]

i already downloaed everything

[warped ginkgo]

can you open gamma shortcut created in desktop

[hushed dust]

it's not showing up on my desktop

[delicate wharf]

if the installer has already downloaded all the mods copy the /downloads folder somewhere and then redo everything untill you hit the install gamma button

before you press the button copy the /downloads folder back into place and check the verify archive option (forget exact name)

[warped ginkgo]

then go to your gamma mo2 folder

[delicate wharf]

that way it makes sure you have the right shit downloaded but you save the time it takes to dl everything from moddb

[warped ginkgo]

and open ModOrganizer.exe

[hushed dust]

so i haven't done anything yet with the GAMMA installer...so can i just launch gm using that mod organizer vanilla and then go back to the installer functions

[warped ginkgo]

nono

i don't understand what you have done till now

did you install gamma?

[hushed dust]

i extracted gamma

and pulled it up

[delicate wharf]

oh so you haven't downloaded mods or anything

I would just start over it will take like 5 minutes to get back to where you are

[hushed dust]

i just got to this step

[warped ginkgo]

1- allow powershell scripts
2- launch mo2
3-update gamma data
4- complete gamma installation

[hushed dust]

i haven't done anything else

yea, i haven't done those 4 steps...so now can i just launch vanilla STALKER so that i can go forward

[warped ginkgo]

if you didn't do the 4 steps

and didn't launch anomaly, just close the gamma installer exe, launch anomaly, go to the menu. close game, open gamma installer and read #old-how-to

[hushed dust]

ok...and we are sure that it should only be portable and not portable.txt

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[hushed dust]

when i browse here, what do i select

[warped ginkgo]

the vanilla stalker folder

[delicate wharf]

its a text file called portable. If you aren't showing file extensions you will just see it called portable, if you are you should see portable.txt

[delicate wharf]

instructions are in the installer window

[hushed dust]

ok...because someone else told me to actually name it portable.txt

[north turret]

@brisk zinc it could be this but this still wont download

even when i update data

[brisk zinc]

Yes it could be

[north turret]

can you give me the data so i can put it in my mods folder manually

[warped ginkgo]

those two are the only ones who are with a X in the molist?

[delicate wharf]

are you hitting update data then install or just update data?

[north turret]

yes

[north turret]

update data then install

[warped ginkgo]

mayba thap rework broke because it got a update today

[north turret]

ill try one more time i guess

[warped ginkgo]

and changed the folders inside

[warped ginkgo]

just right click it

it doesn't mean that the download failed

[warped ginkgo]

only that it couldn't install properly

just right click it, select 'reinstall mod'

[north turret]

wow cant believei m issed that

what do i do

[warped ginkgo]

right click the first one

and 'set as anomaly directory'

it should turn the window grene

meaning that it's okay to install it now

[north turret]

ik that

[warped ginkgo]

click okay and it should be fine

[north turret]

thanks

should it go blow or above this

[warped ginkgo]

below

thap rev
thap rework

above in priority*

[north turret]

for anyone who wants to disable enhanced shaders, make sure you delete the shaders folder from GAMMA Glowstick Patches otherwise the game wont launch

[north turret]

thank god love you

im at 60fps at max settings after turning it off... ssweet

[brisk zinc]

Thanks @warped ginkgo had the same problem myself

It works

@north turret let us know if it works for you

[north turret]

it does

and THAP fixed the laoding issue

but i have a black screen when i spawn in

[warped ginkgo]

cfg_load grading_default

or delete shader cache folder in the stalker directory

[north turret]

oh my god what now ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ? ?

[hushed dust]

Ok i need one answer..straight answer from someone....do i create portable.txt or just portable This will get me to the promised land.

[north turret]

you create portable.txt in the mod organizer folder

[hushed dust]

ok, so i type that next to the Mod organizer folder, correct

[north turret]

yea

[north turret]

i have to launch anomaly first my bad

[brisk zinc]

PORTABLE

[hushed dust]

lol. some people saying portable.txt and then the directions say that. I'm so confused lol

[north turret]

??/

[hushed dust]

i will just call it portable

[north turret]

the directions say portable.txt

[brisk zinc]

It's portable

[hushed dust]

i know

[brisk zinc]

I know that in install it's portable.txt

It's that way if you can see file extensions

But it's just portable

I am the one with the function GAMMA, not you two

[hushed dust]

so this is wrong

[brisk zinc]

If you can see file extensions, it's normal

If you don't, it's wrong

[hushed dust]

no i actually typed that

so it's wrong

[brisk zinc]

If the game doesn't work it's wrong

[north turret]

opkay great

now this happens when i start a new game

[hushed dust]

can i simply delete this and rename it

[brisk zinc]

Yes, it should be fine

Follow #old-how-to step by step

[brisk zinc]

See what I mean?

[north turret]

do you know what i do now falcon??

[brisk zinc]

I can see the .exe, .ini and so on, you can't

By naming "portable.txt" it's like you're naming it "portable.txt.txt"

[brisk zinc]

@north turret

[north turret]

i did that

and now this is happening

[brisk zinc]

Sorry, can't help you with that, we need someone who knows more

I just know the "basics"

[north turret]

aghhh gotcha

man why cant this just be a normal modpack lol

[brisk zinc]

It's the only downside of doing nothing because it's ready to go + it's still in beta so errors occurs

[north turret]

gotcha

[brisk zinc]

It could be really anything

Do something

Launch it again

And take a screen of this

Okay I don't have it

Your MO2

There is a window below

Take a screen of that

[brisk zinc]

Both Anomaly and GAMMA are in the same drive, correct?

[north turret]

yes

[brisk zinc]

Mod Organizer?

[brisk zinc]

Let's try with what Grok said:

"Get the GAMMA user.ltx from GAMMA RC1/. Grok's Modpack Installer/GAMMA/modpack patches"

And I guess you need to put it inside your Anomaly folder, in appdata

[north turret]

thanks

[brisk zinc]

Did it work?

[north turret]

wait a minute or two please

[warped ginkgo]

Did you disable anything?

[north turret]

yes

[warped ginkgo]

Did you disable the rest of the patches?

[brisk zinc]

That's what I wanted to ask

If he did that thing that Bob said earlier

[north turret]

which ones

i remove the shader folder from the glowstick patch

[north turret]

ill try taht

crash when i start a game

theres something else i need to disable

did you miss something @warped ginkgo

[north turret]

yea

do i need to dsiable neefs nvgs itiself too?

[warped ginkgo]

no

when doies it crash

in the start up?

[north turret]

when i start a new game

[warped ginkgo]

do you have ZCP enabled?

[north turret]

whats that

[warped ginkgo]

zone customisation project

[north turret]

i dont know

this?

[warped ginkgo]

search for

ZCP

[north turret]

thanks

[warped ginkgo]

if you want to play with ZCP

[north turret]

i have it enabled ye

i dont know what it does

[warped ginkgo]

go to MCM menu and search

for that tab, and disable Glowsticks option, since you don't have it anymore

[north turret]

that didnt fix it

aghhh

im gonna go to bed and deal with this tommorow, if you get any other ideas lmk

[hushed dust]

any feedback on this

[proven thorn]

No is fine
nxm links are Nexus Mods

[north turret]

Click no

[hushed dust]

OMFG!!! I figured it out lol....this game is so CLEAN! thank you all for your help!

@brisk zinc @warped ginkgo @north turret

@charred rivet

[north turret]

Yep

[hushed dust]

i could never go back to the stand alone lol

[desert robin]

@north turret
Play around with these in console.

Not sure it will work but try it. Just note down the current values.

r2_tonemap_middlegray
r2_sun_lumscale_amb
r2_ sun lumscale
r2_sun_lumscale_hemi
Apply the lumscale settings as such in the console, feel free to play around with the values as you see fit.
For enhanced shaders users, use these:
r__color_grading 0.0, 0.0, 0.0
r2_gloss_factor 0.001
r2_gloss_min 0.5

[severe seal]

hello does anyone know how to get the expert tools?

[delicate wharf]

stashes further north in the zone, redforest+

[severe seal]

ok thx

[strong osprey]

anybody know exactly what the knot artifact does? aka lucifer? i got one and im tempted to use it

[blissful tree]

Gives you strong buffs but you'll have to feed it other artifacts otherwise you'll die.

[broken pendant]

ey guys quick question so what should i do to get a good gun aside from just ak on bandits

[graceful iron]

m4 on mercs and monolith

🙃

better aks from military

[glossy trout]

Ammo type is the most important thing tho. At least if you're going for damage and whatnot

Is warfare mode still broken btw?

[graceful iron]

its just not really balanced for warfare but you can try

[glossy trout]

Ohhh okay

Thanks!

[graceful iron]

[broken pendant]

yeah maybe ill murder em later hahah thanks again cat

[mossy forge]

debug menu cant open

[glossy trout]

Did you launch the game in debug mode?

[mossy forge]

launcher dosent exist

game directly opening

[glossy trout]

So when you click the icon on your desktop and MO2 opens, normally you would select 'Anomaly (DX11-AVX) and click 'Run'. To get to the launcher, instead select 'Anomaly Launcher' from that dropdown menu, then hit 'Run'

[icy oyster]

what about a #ZCP-presets channel ? A chan to experiment different settings and give feedback about them

[mossy forge]

@glossy trout thanks for help i solved cause of u cheers

[glossy trout]

There ya go! As long as Debug Mode is enabled and you launch the game once, you can switch back to the other 'Anomaly (DX11-AVX)' and the debug mode will persist until you turn it back off in the launcher and launch the game at least once

[glossy trout]

You're very welcome!

[mossy forge]

one more question

when time gun going to jam i cant fix

i have to save game and load the save

is this another key for jam

[glossy trout]

Yes! If you go to Setting > Control > Keybinds, and scroll to the very bottom of your keybind list, it should be there

[mossy forge]

well thanks for that again ur best

[glossy trout]

Sure thing!

[mossy forge]

i cant sleep in
when time i try sleep game crashing

[graceful iron]

did you change the sleep deprivation settings?

[mossy forge]

where is the that settings

[graceful iron]

in gameplay settings? if you didnt change it then it might be something else causing the crashes. send the log you get from the crash

you can find it in anomaly/appdata

[mossy forge]

didnt send a any crash report but i change few settings in mod conf.

[graceful iron]
