[fading pendant]

Is there any way to remove (BaS) from weapon names and icons? It's a bit funky seeing radio messages like "Wow! He had a Colt 1911 (BaS)!"

[soft cargo]

so my dude straight up ripped the loudest ass in game and I DIED LAUGHING! BWAHAHAHA what in the world made my dude do that and why did it wait till like 28 hrs in game to happen?

ur character just farts now?

[soft cargo]

i think it was from taking psy damage from that Scar artefact

take it off when ur not healing with it

[graceful iron]

yes we already know...

the scar artefact makes the character do things..

[soft cargo]

cheeky breeky whilst side to side leaning type of things?

[graceful iron]

it can kill you to apparently

[soft cargo]

it was pretty funny ngl

i thought someone was hacking my singleplayer game XD

[graceful iron]

[soft cargo]

HAHAHAHA

[warped ginkgo]

smelly ass

[echo halo]

anyone know why NPCs in a dim room are super dark compared to the rest of the room?

it's like they're a walking shadow

[graceful iron]

probably some sort of light settings or shader

[echo halo]

well duh...

was hoping for something more specific... :/

the rest of the lighting/brightness seems OK, it's just NPCs are super dark compared to the room they're in, looks like an undead shadow.

[fossil crater]

A screenshot would be useful, are you olaying on dx11? Have you changed anything visually, added a mod that changes graphics? What's your in-game graphics settings. Setting some to lowest etc brakes certain textures, effects.

[solid berry]

wait are daddysaves supposed to crash your game?

[graceful iron]

yes

[solid berry]

very uncool of daddy to do that

[weary sable]

It doesn't crash it, it closes the game. Its supposed to be used if you need to quit the game but not have a campfire or safe place close by.

[weary sable]

What's the difference between the blue and orange campfire icons? Haven't noticed that before.

[graceful iron]

blue ones are under cover or inside a building

means they are safe from rain, emissions and psy storms

[craggy hawk]

hey, GAMMA have any mod that balances/changes suits and helmets?

[willow hawk]

Yes

[north turret]

How does this mod compare with Escape From Pripiyat 3.0? Is it a contender or does EFP offer a different type of experience from GAMMA?

[wraith token]

GAMMA is more hardcore. Less loot, no armor/guns from traders, and plenty of other things. Check out #│📚manual

[solid berry]

is it normal to have this much ammo at early-mid game or is it cuz of mags redux

I'm not even 10 days in with this character and I have more 5.45 than I can ever shoot

[mighty condor]

[blissful tree]

Yeah mags kinda does that.

[solid berry]

not gonna play with it on my next run then

I really hope it gets reworked tho because I very much enjoy playing single player tarkov

[warped ginkgo]

[solid berry]

I also enjoy being strapped for ammunition and having to use guns as I scavenge their calibers

[rugged star]

How I heal body besides going to doctor? All limbs are full.

[blissful tree]

First aid kit, stimpack.

[willow hawk]

Mags Redux gives more ammo yes

[weary stream]

Is there a way to craft from a stash? Meaning, not having to pick up everything each time you want to craft.

[graceful iron]

no

you have to have the items in your inventory while in the crafting UI

[weary stream]

That's a pain.

[graceful iron]

not really... if you are having a laggy stash, make another stash next to it with a backpack and put some of the items in it. reduces the delay in moving items from/to the stash

[weary stream]

Oh, that's not why. It's more that I don't want to have to stash everything back each time. Most things you can just hold shift on and instantly move over, but when you only want to move over a certain amount, that's where it gets annoying. I want to stash my Yadulin, but keep some of it, keep some of my sewing kits, some of my tools, etc. for when I head out again. Takes a surprising amount of time to reorganize, for me at least.

[weary sable]

I always have one stash with crafting stuff only (except medicin and food which I've never found reason to craft) next to a workbench. Then I Take All, craft and then Move All from the appropriate tabs in the inventory. There are only a few items I need to put back after that.

[noble edge]

How would I go about merging knife & pistol in binoc slot with barts sorting tabs? If anyone has any clue or idea of how to go about that

[sinful hill]

anyway to adjust it to normal levels when Mags Redux is enabled? Why does this addon spawn more ammo?

[graceful iron]

you can go to mcm and change the ammo "quality"

it changes how much ammo is spawned, but someone said its still broken

gamma is not intended with mags thats probably why grok has not fixed its balance

[weary sable]

I've unticked the Immersive Sleep mod but still get the "I'm not tired enough to sleep" message when I try to sleep. I didn't get that before I updated GAMMA yesterday.

[graceful iron]

https://tenor.com/view/problematic-stressed-smh-oh-dear-gif-23576897

[desert robin]

The mods are going to rip you a new hole... Read #old-how-to about immersive sleep

[graceful iron]

why do people ....

[desert robin]

here it comes

[graceful iron]

why do i even try...

nah

[desert robin]

https://tenor.com/view/run-woman-hide-panic-dodge-gif-5264408

[graceful iron]

i am outta here

bye

[desert robin]

12 in #old-how-to RIP friend.. 😦

long story short touching anything to do with sleep is bad. IDK why it's not better communicated or changed so that it kind of tells people in-game options, like a tooltip that says "IF YOU DISABLED THIS YOUR GAME IS GOING TO BREAK." or something.. But we just expect everyone's psychic and can read here so i dunno man.

[graceful iron]

okay i am back from crying, i think we can fix this .

you only unticked immersive sleep?

[weary sable]

It says 12. NEVER TOUCH "sleep deprivation" IN THE GAME OPTIONS. DON'T PLAY IN WARFARE (unstable, bad framerate). And all id did was untick the Immersive Sleep mod which worked just fine before I updated GAMMA yesterday. Sorry if I step on anyone toes, jebus.

I haven't touched the sleep deprivation option in the settings.

[warped ginkgo]

the problem with that addon is that it has it patches combined with others patches as a single addon in mo2

[warped ginkgo]

at least i think that's how it's working

[weary sable]

And those are also unticked.

[graceful iron]

[weary sable]

Except for the GAMMA Sleep Balance which I don't seem to have at all.

[graceful iron]

uhh...

what

[weary sable]

Never mind, i had it and it was unticked

[graceful iron]

try enabling all the ones you disabled but these 3 #🔨base-gamma-support message

[weary sable]

Not sure why you all started to mention #12 regarding the sleep deprivation option. What does have to do the Immersive Sleep (and patches) mod if those are disabled??

[graceful iron]

because disabling addons related to it without the proper order or patches can be an issue and its basically the same as changing the ingame settings

[graceful iron]

can you try this? and see if that works

[weary sable]

Well like I said, I've had those disabled before the update and then it worked fine. But I'll just try and sleep when the game lets me from now on.

[graceful iron]

because you loaded into the game with them enabled after the update?

updates sometimes enable some addons by default

[weary sable]

No. I made a note of what mods I had unticked, even wrote down some of my ingame settings if they would change. I'm a but anal with those sort of things. (And I've been modding various games for the past 10+ years so even if I'm not a expert I'm no rookie either.)

[graceful iron]

and now with these 3 addons disabled you cant sleep?

@weary sable

[weary sable]

Like I said, no. But never mind, I'll figure something out.

I'll reinstall, or update again.

[echo halo]

Yes, playing on DX11. Here's some screenshots showing what I'm talking about. NPCs, my hands + weapon and the crate look unnaturally dark compared to a rooms illumination. Outdoors they look good, it feels like something funky going on with how shadows are being cast indoors...

[echo halo]

that shoulda been a reply to you...

[graceful iron]

i think gamma by default has this, so its not something you added. did you try tinkering with things? but lighting was always shitty in anomaly and shaders are not perfect

[echo halo]

nope, haven't tinkered with anything. This is my first time using GAMMA and is what I noticed right off...

[graceful iron]

yes thats what i am saying, right the defaults down and then try changing shaders around.

if things break or become weird delete shader cache and put gamma defaults back or use the ones you wrote down

[echo halo]

would I do that in the reshade settings from main menu?

I looked at that and don't have a clue where to start...

[graceful iron]

thats the thing, if you want to fix something in reshade you have to do it yourself or find a guide on it somewhere

unless grok addresses it but he is busy fixing RC2

[echo halo]

hmmm, ok... was hoping someone might have dealt with this already, I can't be the only new GAMMA user put off by this...

[graceful iron]

we are "put off" by it but maybe no one cared enough to do anything about it or they did but didnt mention it here

[echo halo]

I'll see what I can do, just hope I don't make things worse

[graceful iron]

you can check the #╟🎑reshades dedicated channel

[echo halo]

oh, good idea...

btw, didn't mean to demean all the work that's been put into GAMMA with my "put off" comment... it's just that, as a first time user after getting GAMMA installed, excited to get playing and noticing this it was just too immersion breaking...

for me, at least...

[graceful iron]

the thing is again, reshade is not perfect

you can tweak it to your liking

but this one probably got either overlooked or put aside for later

by grok i mean

[echo halo]

gotcha... well, thx for your help I'll see what I can find on #╟🎑reshades

[graceful iron]

i personally dont care about some shadows being screwed if the gameplay is fun, thats why i would really disagree with it being that annoying

[warped ginkgo]

try messing with the lumscale commands in the console

i think it was lumscale_amb? f

[graceful iron]

the environment itself does not seem dark

its just objects and npcs

and even the actor

[fossil crater]

Some things are definitely off, it shouldn't be like that

What's your GPU? Have you updated it's drivers

[echo halo]

diff't strokes, diff't folks...

[graceful iron]

[echo halo]

AMD 5600X, 3600ti... all drivers up to date.

[echo halo]

derp, shoulda replied again...

[fossil crater]

Npnp

Hit Windows button and type Disk Clean or smtn

Hit with your Windows installed Disk

Select System files down there in the window and it'll open again.

Then only select DirectX Shader cache or w/e the name is, after that's clear

Clear the Anomaly's shader cache, then try again.

[echo halo]

ok I'll give that a shot...

[fossil crater]

I'm not using Windows in Eng language, couldn't give clear instructions soz

[graceful iron]

ew has his pc on his native language (sarcastic btw)

[fossil crater]

I've used every device on Eng until year back I guess, now I'm trying to get used to my own native language

It's so weird

[graceful iron]

its too weird for me, i just use english

English is shit but at least its easy

[fossil crater]

Translation and interpreting is my major so, I gotta learn

[graceful iron]

oh... yea makes sense

[fossil crater]

I gotta git gud on my native first

[echo halo]

no dice...

cleaned/cleared but looks the same

[fossil crater]

Damn

I have a suggestion

[graceful iron]

its there by default in gamma, have you played gamma recently with its default shaders? its not an error/cache thing

[fossil crater]

With the same mod load order, open up a new save and look around

If not, try with the vanilla Anomaly by just clicking the DX11AVX exe in bin folder, try a new save.

[fossil crater]

Wha

It's been like that for all of you

?

[graceful iron]

this weird shadow thing is like that by default

[fossil crater]

I haven't played a long time

[graceful iron]

i am trying to tell you that

y no one listen to me

its probably an oversight by grok

thats why i am telling bsdaddict to tinker with shaders

[fossil crater]

Underrated cat

You gotta be more sharp, get in people's head

[graceful iron]

i meow any louder and i would probably get a shoe thrown at me

[fossil crater]

[graceful iron]

i am just trying to give a possible solution

[toxic acorn]

Hey, just started and when I walk with my weapon out, it disappears from my hand, so I can't fire on the move whatsoever, is this intended?

[graceful iron]

no..

just installed?

[toxic acorn]

yee

[graceful iron]

check your mod list, it can be a mod installed incorrectly or not ticked and placed correctly

it can happen sometimes for some weird reason

how many addons are active in mo2?

[toxic acorn]

255

[graceful iron]

wait are you on RC2?

[toxic acorn]

uhhh

[graceful iron]

did you follow #old-how-to or #947807834345721896 ?

[toxic acorn]

install

I followed the video that was posted

[graceful iron]

okay, go to moddb

the website

and see if you are blocked

[toxic acorn]

how would I check that?

Just try downloading something?

[graceful iron]

no

just open the website

[toxic acorn]

Oh

Yeah works fine

[graceful iron]

it will tell you if you are blocked

hmm

okay can you screenshot your mo2 mod list?

does it have any errors?

[toxic acorn]

I will screenshot the section with the only error

[graceful iron]

only one?

on an icons mod?

that one is okay

just a broken install you can easily fix but not needed to run gamma

[toxic acorn]

Yeah it's that one

[graceful iron]

thats the only error?

[toxic acorn]

yea

[graceful iron]

how do you have 255 addons?

any of the addons look broken ?

like displaying incorrectly ?

[toxic acorn]

none of them look broken, everything seemed to be working alright, I checked the order of them and everything was fine

[graceful iron]

this is what the current RC1 gamma mod list looks like

[toxic acorn]

here's mine

well it was saying 255

[graceful iron]

open the end of loader section..

and screenshot it

[graceful iron]

these fall under this step of the install

grab them and drag to where their numbers are supposed to be

and tick

[toxic acorn]

leave the red crossed one, I assume?

[graceful iron]

but not the "extra animations" one, that one causes issues and is disabled by default. still move it to its correct place

[graceful iron]

you can move it to optional

check and make sure that you enable these new versions and disable any old versions if you find any, and move the old ones to end of loader instead

[toxic acorn]

gamma footsteps goes in audio right?

[graceful iron]

that one is supposed to be anywhere, just leave it in optional or even end of loader and tick

[toxic acorn]

Are the DLTX mods optional as well?

[graceful iron]

no

[toxic acorn]

so check everyone but extra anim?

[graceful iron]

yes

make sure they are in the correct order

[toxic acorn]

Now it's 238 active, so should be good I'm assuming

[graceful iron]

yes

[toxic acorn]

Thanks dude

[graceful iron]

no addons at end of loader that look out of place?

just making sure

[toxic acorn]

nope

[graceful iron]

[toxic acorn]

yep all good

awesome

[graceful iron]

@toxic acorn

rescue the courier mission from wolf can break the game

sorry i didnt warn you before

it has a chance to somehow make the whole rookie village enemies against you

load a save before it or you can try doing it and hope for the best, it seems to happen sometimes only

[mellow leaf]

do i post questions about crashing in here or in bugs?

[echo halo]

@graceful iron @fossil crater @warped ginkgo ok, made some progress. setting r2_sun_lumscale_amb 0.65 and it's looking better, objects aren't just black shadows I can see some color definition... thx for the help. 🙂

[warped ginkgo]

Bugs

[slow topaz]

how do i close this without launching mo2?

[warped ginkgo]

Bottom righr

[graceful iron]

[warped ginkgo]

Should be a red Button to close

[slow topaz]

mmm

[graceful iron]

any, but mostly post crashes in bugs

[echo halo]

they're still a bit too dark for my taste, but can live with it...

[warped ginkgo]

you tried with the 3 lumscalre Commander right?

[slow topaz]

there ain't

[graceful iron]

you can close the cmd

[warped ginkgo]

Resolution problem maybe

Press Windows key + M

[echo halo]

just the one... r2_sun_lumscale_amb. the others didn't seem to have an effect indoors

[warped ginkgo]

Then close it

[warped ginkgo]

Ok, there are other command like tonemap, but i dont remember if they change indoors

[slow topaz]

aight worked

[graceful iron]

wait a sec, is that the v3 installer? #📢announcements message downloaded from here?

[echo halo]

I can live with it now... enough tweaking for now just really want to get playing... 🙂

[slow topaz]

no
I downloaded from the installer

the same one in the tutorial vid i believe

idk the one from yesterday I'm pretty sure

[graceful iron]

what???

[slow topaz]

Idk

[graceful iron]

okay can you download this one i linked from #📢announcements and then extract it in the installers folder (grok's modpack installer) and replace files?

the installer should not look like what you have

btw what resolution is your screen?

[slow topaz]

Will do but now I’m busy with something else

[slow topaz]

Uhh

1920x1080 if that’s what you’re looking for

[graceful iron]

then it shouldnt be a problem with resolution

[slow topaz]

all I know is that It only looks right in this one

Oh

[graceful iron]

just making sure

yea when you can, download the correct installer

[slow topaz]

And then I do the same thing I did before?

Delete mods and then check for updates and complete installation?

[graceful iron]

unless you have any issues with the installation itself or the modlist, you dont need to do anything after getting the correct installer

[slow topaz]

There are no red x flags in the important stuff

just that one deactivated Mod from Maid

[graceful iron]

should look like this

oh..

yea then only get the installer update, you can still play gamma normally

[slow topaz]

aight

[gritty oar]

is there a way to lock my current mod list so when i update i dont have to redo my modlist?

runnn

[graceful iron]

runnn? what

[gritty oar]

my bad

[graceful iron]

i dont think there is a way to lock the modlist? maybe a new profile in mo2?

[gritty oar]

ment to send that on another channel

[mellow leaf]

how do i load a level, i enabled debug mode

[warped ginkgo]

What do you mean load?

[mellow leaf]

edit, fixed it, used regular console

trying to fix a bug, quest givers are dying, crashing as a result

oh yeah, and, i think my companion is hostile, can i make him friendly?

[graceful iron]

debug

aim at him and i think there is a command in the list to make him friendly

dont accidently shoot him this time

[mellow leaf]

yeah figured it out already thanks though

[mellow leaf]

quick melee

[graceful iron]

are you have stupid? i said dont shoot him this time cuz i said before it "aim at him to with debug menu" . i know you quick meleed him the first time

[rugged star]

It says 2 different guns here or am i confused? Where do I find them?

[graceful iron]

its a toz194

that other one is an oversight

just ignore it

[slow topaz]

weird, I did it but it's still like this

[graceful iron]

[slow topaz]

is it really a resolution problem

welp idk what to do anymore

still works tho

[graceful iron]

i am on 1920*1080 myself and the resolution isnt broken for me

[slow topaz]

are there any scrip.txt files that would interfere with this?

what does this file mean?

[graceful iron]

i think its the version of gamma pack

i have not updates the past 3 days so i have a previous one

[slow topaz]

oh oke

still don't have my res sorted

[graceful iron]

idk

[slow topaz]

feels bad

[graceful iron]

wait

do you still have the original "grok's modpack installer" folder in downloads or somewhere backed up?

[slow topaz]

I’m pretty sure I’ve overwritten it as you said

[graceful iron]

you can redownload the gamma RC1 to get this file from it, its just over 200mb if i remember correctly

so we can delete the old folder and get a new one, and then check if that has any resolution issue and then update it with the v3

[slow topaz]

oke where is the old one

[graceful iron]

when you download gammaRC1 you should get this inside

delete the one you have inside your installation

and then place the new one in its place

[slow topaz]

So I delete everything I have inside that folder now and just drag the old version there?

[graceful iron]

yes

then open the installer inside it

[slow topaz]

Splendid

[graceful iron]

should look something like this

[slow topaz]

where is rc1 download

[graceful iron]

in downloads probably ?

your pc downloads

[slow topaz]

only have these

[graceful iron]

yes thats the one

the last one

its a zip file

extract it

[slow topaz]

the gamma rc1?

[graceful iron]

so its a file explorer folder

[slow topaz]

oke

[graceful iron]

yes

this will be extracted from it

[slow topaz]

k now i have this

[slow topaz]

oh you mean extract it to its own folder?

[graceful iron]

you will get this

[slow topaz]

ok ok

[graceful iron]

once its extracted open this and check if the installer works correctly

[slow topaz]

it's here

[graceful iron]

yes

[slow topaz]

it does

[graceful iron]

that does not look right...

[slow topaz]

you mean the cut words in the right?

[graceful iron]

no

wait

[slow topaz]

[graceful iron]

i cant seem to get an image to open with photos app...

am i this stupid

[slow topaz]

Lol

[graceful iron]

yes to the right

it should not be there

can you drag the border of the installer to make it smaller? even though i doubt thats what is causing this

nvm they cant be dragged

[slow topaz]

I can only move it around
I can't drag the border and change the size

[graceful iron]

is your anti virus flagging the installer?

[slow topaz]

lemme see

It’s only flagging the torrent installer

no folders of gamma anywhere

[graceful iron]

i remember seeing this same thing before and grok said something about it but i cant find the messages

i thought it was resolution

[slow topaz]

mmm

[graceful iron]

but if your view resolution is 1920 1080 then its something else

[slow topaz]

[graceful iron]

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-shrug-不造-i-dont-know-gif-5094560

[slow topaz]

saddest situation ever
my installer is working right but it’s not in the right resolution

[graceful iron]

its really not important, you can always close it by closing the cmd window

but i guess its still annoying

[slow topaz]

right right

Well my gamma installation folder is now empty

[graceful iron]

wat

please dont tell me you deleted the things inside gamma RC1

[slow topaz]

it’s just the installer/updater folder that I deleted looking for a solution

[slow topaz]

no no

[graceful iron]

okay..

[slow topaz]

[graceful iron]

just put the new installer you got and then put the update over it

replace files

[slow topaz]

aight thx

I’m gonna gts now

will fix tomorrow

[graceful iron]

[toxic acorn]

Is there a way to allow myself to save wherever, currently I can only save near campfires

[graceful iron]

mcm > YACS (yet another campfire save) > disable campfire saving

[toxic acorn]

aw sweet thanks

[graceful iron]

and in friendly bases

[toxic acorn]

How do I use those blue arrows to get to the next area?

Also... What do the daddy tokens do from YACS lmao

[warped ginkgo]

you walk to them and message pops up asking you if you want to go to the next area

or refuse

i think in RC2 there is no popup, only load to the next map directly

[toxic acorn]

I'm not seeing any message or no loading the next area

[warped ginkgo]

those are in case you need to exit the game fast

normally you can't save without being near a campfire so, in case of a emergency, you press the keys to use the token and the game saves and instantly closes

[toxic acorn]

oh that's dope

[warped ginkgo]

take a screenshot of the area you want to go

[toxic acorn]

Leads to the great swamp @warped ginkgo

[warped ginkgo]

you went inside that?

[toxic acorn]

...I didn't even see it, hol up lemme look

[warped ginkgo]

it's past the fence and that tree

[toxic acorn]

YUUUUP just realized the fence isn't the barrier 🤦‍♂️

Sorry lol

[weary sable]

One reinstallation later and now I can sleep whenever I want. I got a massive cold and cant sleep irl, but at least I got that going for me...

[graceful iron]

traded ingame sleep for IRL sleep, what a gamer

but seriously i hope you get well

[rugged star]

any idea why I cannot sell artificat to sakharov in yantar?

[graceful iron]

easy is a quest artefact...

but you cant sell artefacts if they are too low condition

[rugged star]

but arent all artifacts low condition? i read somewhere they only spawn in 1-10% condition?

[graceful iron]

5-20

[rugged star]

oh okay, so i just throw this artifacts i got then?

[graceful iron]

you can craft them into better condition to use them or sell them (its really not worth spending time and items to craft them just to sell them)

the artefact melter

#│📚manual

[rugged star]

aha okay

do i need good relation with ecologist to buy this item?

[graceful iron]

nope

its there from the start

how did you get 2 "easy" artefacts?

debug?

[rugged star]

no idea

[graceful iron]

[rugged star]

i picked up some artificats in some anomalies on the way to yantar from agorprom

i think one was "easy"

[slow topaz]

why does my installer look like this even after updating the pack?

like I'm not even asking because of the weird resolution but where are the other options

[graceful iron]

you forgot to extract the installer update?

[slow topaz]

Update?

where dat shit at

[graceful iron]

the one i told you about

in announcements

wait

[slow topaz]

[graceful iron]

#📢announcements message

i thought you already downloaded this one

[slow topaz]

oke so do I just need to overwrite it?

[graceful iron]

extract and replace files

yes

[slow topaz]

splendid

also uh
do reshade presets get deleted when updating the pack?

[quaint shadow]

since you can't buy guns, whats the best way? Can you loot guns from the world or is it just weapons from bodies

[graceful iron]

bodies and stashes

only marked stashes, they have a chance for random guns

[slow topaz]

can't buy guns? Whaa?

welp it looks fucked again
but it's updated

[graceful iron]

i thought you already played through gamma a bit?

does it even work right now?

or getting errors?

[slow topaz]

I have only tested in debug for a bit

don't even know if i can play it this month

My laptop can barely run it at more than 40fps anyways

[graceful iron]

did you try some of the steps in framerate optimization ?

[slow topaz]

ye
turned off core 0 and toned grass down

[brisk zinc]

Read #❗welcome

[quaint shadow]

What's up with the weird camera movement when going through doorframes? I don't remember it being this bad

[slow topaz]

Where do I see my logs

just crashed when I shot a military in the face

[solid berry]

anomaly/appdata/logs and the latest one

[magic rock]

is there anyone help me ?

[desert robin]

Is the fire axe any good? Whats the highest dmg melee weapon?

[toxic acorn]

Hey so how do I heal? Can’t really afford any medkits from sidorovich, and one of my legs and one of my arms is fucked and I’m at half health lol

[foggy badger]

Howdy, quick question. To clear up some space on my hard drive I am temporarily removing Anomaly. I installed it and the mods to Desktop/My Games/<Folders> but when I go to delete them Windows warns "This file called 'desktop' is a system file. Removing it may blah blah blah" am I good to remove it?

[desert robin]

You are basically in for a painful start.. Welcome to GAMMA

You can try sleeping, if youre able to. Use a bandage to hobble around but basically youre in big shit

[toxic acorn]

Welp

[desert robin]

😦

[brisk zinc]

What are you trying to remove exactly? From what I remember you don't need to install Anomaly

[toxic acorn]

Not tired enough to sleep. Big RIP

So do I just reset lol

[brisk zinc]

Reset or use debug mode, so you can spawn some medkits

[brisk zinc]

If you have some marijuana on you, smoke that

[toxic acorn]

I think I’m just gonna reset, haven’t done much

[brisk zinc]

Sleeping will replenish your health but not your limbs

[toxic acorn]

Is there a configurable mod so I can sleep whenever

[gritty oar]

has any of yalll messed with the lucifer artefact?

[foggy badger]

Ohhh kay

So nothing bad @brisk zinc

I likely fucked up

I don't really understand Windows (usually use Linux or OpenBSD) and I initially installed it globally (to like the programs root directory so E:/Programs (x86) or whatever and then I read that it should be installed on a user level and reinstalled on a user level

So at some point during that I must of fucked something up

I rebooted and got the bootloader selection menu. Picking to continue to Windows worked

[brisk zinc]

Oh you installed Windows wrong?

[foggy badger]

and everyhing is fine

[foggy badger]

Nope, my dad installed Windows. I think I installed the STALKER stuff wrong

[toxic acorn]

So first try at it I chose medium difficulty and scavenger progression diff, I’m gonna guess easy and tourist aren’t actually that easy?

[brisk zinc]

The game should be the same thing, hard as fuck

Easy and tourist should be about progression in game, so traders, guns and such (IIRC)

[brisk zinc]

Both Anomaly and GAMMA can be "installed" everywhere, just don't put them in Desktop, Downloads and/or Program Files (x86 too)

[foggy badger]

I was playing on hard for both difficulties with some mods to make a few things more immersive like only saving at camp fires and friendly bases. Was def hard, but fun peepoHappy

[foggy badger]

Ahhhh, okay that makes sense. That is where I messed up. Thank you 😄

[brisk zinc]

The first one is already in GAMMA

Yet Another Campfire Saving

[brisk zinc]

Move everything on the root of your hard disk

Like this:
C:\STALKER G.A.M.M.A. RC1

Anomaly too

If you need to do everything from scratch, keep your "download" folder, it contains all your downloaded add-ons

[warped ginkgo]

Medic

[toxic acorn]

There’s a medic in cordon?

[warped ginkgo]

If you are loner, closest is swamps CS base

[willow hawk]

Nope. Need to go to clear sky base

Medkits are cheaper there

[toxic acorn]

Ah cool, thanks guys!

[unborn lance]

Pardon me, trying to install and I seem stuck on the "Grok's Modpack Installer" portion.

[halcyon mulch]

There it is....installer looks like mine with double text across the top.

Was not just me being stupid and not following directions

[unborn lance]

This is what my folders look like atm. I went into "STALKER G.A.M.M.A RC1" folder and made a "Grok's Modpack Installer" folder, unzipped it into there (I use PeaZip), and extracted "Resources" into the "Grok's" folder. Then hit GAMMA Installer.exe, a command line pops up, immediately goes POOF! without pulling the installer up.

Not sure what I did wrong.

I also have another folder on the same hard drive for Mod Organizer 2 with a new, blank .txt file called "portable.txt".

...Like so.

[slow topaz]

same

[unborn lance]

Did I mess up somewhre, or have an old version or somesuch?

[gritty oar]

whats the difference between cinemavfx 3..6 and 3.5 upd 1.2?

[warped ginkgo]

there is a changelog in the cin vfx addon page

[gritty oar]

do i need them both or just one?/

[warped ginkgo]

well, one is a previous version

so pick the one you want i guess

[craggy hawk]

any admin could tell if this mod is in GAMMA already or will be?

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/advanced-stamina-system-40link-in-description41

idk if is actually good or nah

[desert robin]

Is buying the artefacts melter the only way to get it?

[gritty oar]

im pretty sure yeah besides debugging it in

[unborn lance]

Still not sure of what to do for the mod installer

[livid sluice]

kill an ecologist

or loot one 😉

[brisk zinc]

Hey

Do this

1. Forget the video, it's a good video but that "Install" folder is useless

2. You need to have on the same drive both Anomaly and GAMMA, two separate folders, like this:
   "C:\STALKER G.A.M.M.A. RC1"
   "C:\Anomaly"
   No Desktop, no Download, no Program Files and/or Program Files (x86), put them in the root of your hard disk/SSD

Create a .txt file and name it "portable", without .txt, you don't need it

3. Like the point 3 in #old-how-to says, open your ".Grok's Modpack Installer" folder, download the update (#📢announcements message), take everything from the update and put it inside your ".Grok's Modpack Installer"

Then you can follow the following steps in there, it should be easy, if you have questions or having problems, ask here

[brisk zinc]

It's not in GAMMA, don't know if Grok will add it, put it in #old-suggest

[rough ivy]

Where is the pripyat dungeons located?

[brisk zinc]

What
Never heard of dungeons in Pripyat

[rough ivy]

A i see is the jupiter plant underpass

Strange name indeed

Pripyat-1

[graceful iron]

any error from this? in the cmd or another window?

[graceful iron]

are you using this mo2 folder for something or did you create it for gamma?

[unborn lance]

Its a seperate folder. I just downloaded Mod Organizer 2 to get GAMMA to work

[graceful iron]

you dont need to download mo2

it comes with gamma

and you use a portable instance which does not need to install mo2

if you are not using mo2 for anything else, uninstall it

it can cause issues if its a global install

[unborn lance]

I deleted the folder then

[graceful iron]

you followed the install steps or the video?

[unborn lance]

I was trying to

@brisk zinc, "Anomaly" and "Stalker GAMMA" are now two different things on my HD

Like so.

[graceful iron]

yes that works

[unborn lance]

In the Stalker GAMMA folder I have made "portable".txt.

[graceful iron]

okay

[unborn lance]

So, now the Grok's Modpack Installer. How do I work that out...

[graceful iron]

the folder is still there? in gamma rc1?

#📢announcements message you download the installer update v3 from #📢announcements and extract it inside "grok's modpack installer" folder and replace files

[unborn lance]

Folder ain't in Gamma RC1 now but I can unzip it again.

[graceful iron]

yes do that

only that folder

[graceful iron]

and then this step

[unborn lance]

Alright folder is in there and contents are unpacked

There's, uh

Resources

Installer

ModDB Mirrors

So, how do I replace those files, again?

[graceful iron]

in the update i linked? you open the zip file and drag all contents from there to the grok's modpack installer and choose replace files

[unborn lance]

Wait which one is the zip file?

And yes its that version

[unborn lance]

Sorry, I'm not the best with computers

Yeah that's been unpacked into its own folder

Also I use PeaZip and not 7zip but w/e I figure it doesn't matter

This is what the contents are like rn

[graceful iron]

probably wont cause any issues, take the files inside, copy and paste them in grok's modpack installer folder thats in gamma rc1

[unborn lance]

Files inside which thing though? Sorry if that's a dumb question but that's the part I'm having trouble with rn

[graceful iron]

the files from inside this zip, extract everything from it into (second image)

[unborn lance]

Ahh extract it into Resources?

[graceful iron]

no

okay wait i think i am just making it more confusing

[unborn lance]

Sorry, I'm kinda dumb about this

[graceful iron]

does this make sense?

[unborn lance]

Hmm, I don't see the lefthand folder?

I have "Groks Modpack Installer" that I made and named myself and unzipped "Groks_Modpack_Installer_RC2_v3" into

But no ".Grok's Modpack Installer" wit the period and apostraphe.

[graceful iron]

when you download gamma rc1 it should have this folder in it

[unborn lance]

Huh, it doesn't?

This is what mine looks like?

Wonder what happened

[graceful iron]

can you check if your antivirus flagged grok's installer folder?

[unborn lance]

Oh probably

Not sure how to check that but

[graceful iron]

if not maybe its a corrupt download

[unborn lance]

That sounds like it happened

[graceful iron]

are you using windows defender or some other antivirus ?

[unborn lance]

Trend Micro

And my VPN has some virus blocking I think but I figure its Trend Micro doing it

[graceful iron]

can you try downloading gammaRC1 again?

it will look like this once downloaded

a zip file

[unborn lance]

Will do

Alright

So, unzip the newer version into this folder and say "yes" if it asks me to overwrite?

Or nah

[graceful iron]

yes

[unborn lance]

So, now I hit Install?

And it should work?

[graceful iron]

open the installer

[unborn lance]

Or should I launch Anomaly first and then close it?

[graceful iron]

you didnt do that yet?

[unborn lance]

I had a previous install and deleted it and such

Nope, will do before installing Gamma

[graceful iron]

okay

[unborn lance]

Realize I should do that with a fresh install, slipped my mind

[graceful iron]

after that make sure you did step 2 (portable ltx) and then open the installer and start from step 4 in #old-how-to

[graceful iron]

of anomaly? yes

[unborn lance]

Alright, so saw the main menu, immediately left

[graceful iron]

okay

[unborn lance]

Alright so installer.

It still just opens the command window and closes?

Hmm

Same thing when running as admin.

[graceful iron]

this folder is right now inside gammaRC1 folder?

[unborn lance]

Yes

[graceful iron]

can you screenshot gammaRC1 ?

[graceful iron]

does it say anything in the cmd before it closes?

[unborn lance]

No

Its open for about one second and says nothing at all.

[graceful iron]

did you check if your antivirus is flagging any of the files? sorry but i know nothing about that specific antivirus you have so idk how to check

[unborn lance]

I think it was and then I unblocked it

[graceful iron]

i think its not launching correctly because the folder itself is missing some files that got corrupted by the antivirus

[unborn lance]

So, do I install, and then unzip again?

[graceful iron]

delete gammaRC1 folder and download a new one and place it where the old one was, also make sure its not being flagged by anything

[unborn lance]

Well I just deleted and unpacked gammRC1 again

Still not doing it.

Fresh downloads and all so

Idk what's going on?

[graceful iron]

i cant figure out anything either

are you on windows 10

[unborn lance]

I think so

I have portable.txt in there too

Idk what's going on or what to do about it

[graceful iron]

can you try unpacking with 7zip? seems its at least reliable with anomaly and its modpacks

[unborn lance]

No dice.

Have I messed something up or is my computer being stupid and refusing to do it?

[graceful iron]

i dont think you messed something up, it sounds like its missing files but not sure how

[unborn lance]

What file would be missing that's creating an issue?

[graceful iron]

not sure what specific file but its something in .grok's modpack installer , it got flagged once by antivirus so it might still be missing something. you checked all antivirus services you have on your pc?

[unborn lance]

I set it to ignore in my antivirus.

Is Anomaly being seperate from GAMMA a mistake ?

[graceful iron]

no

that should not even affect the installer

[graceful iron]

was it only one file?

[unborn lance]

The entire folder

I'll try a fresh unzipping of everything once more and tell AV to not flag it

If that doesn't work then idk what to do?

[unborn lance]

Ugh, it failed

Guess I can't join in the fun with Gamma, ah well

[graceful iron]

i guess we can wait for now, maybe someone knows what else could be causing this

[graceful iron]

@willow hawk sorry about the ping but we cant figure out why the installer is failing to launch

[willow hawk]

Antivirus I think

[graceful iron]

[willow hawk]

Try disabling the antivirus completely

[graceful iron]

@unborn lance

[willow hawk]

What antivirus do you have ?

[graceful iron]

.

never seen this antivirus before

[willow hawk]

I know it

It's not that good

[graceful iron]

for gaming and general use i think windows defender is just fine

https://tenor.com/view/elmo-shrug-不造-i-dont-know-gif-5094560

[willow hawk]

Advertised mostly as lightweight but doesn't do an exceptional job, I think that might be it

it's fine yes

I prefer ESET

[unborn lance]

I have Trend Micro because its what my dad uses for work so, family plan

[willow hawk]

It's paid but it's damn good. It does what you tell him to do atleast

[willow hawk]

That's fine. Try disabling it still

Some antivirus are annoying

https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/e9b09b8abeb263f89cd39448cf48be272ab9c32baeed04cd7f734bdc097ddb05/detection

[unborn lance]

Any idea on how to disable?

I don't see the option in the main menu

[willow hawk]

Trend micro shouldn't pick it up though....

[unborn lance]

Yeah the files were fine.

No issues detected with downloading them

[willow hawk]

It launches right ?

[unborn lance]

Still will try but if that's not the issue...

[willow hawk]

But then closes?

[unborn lance]

Shows the command line, then closes immediately, no dialogue

[willow hawk]

Ah could be .NET stuff missing ?

[unborn lance]

.NET?

[graceful iron]

uhhh i think thats in French

[willow hawk]

https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/download/details.aspx?id=21

https://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/download/details.aspx?id=17851

.NET 3.5 and 4

That's a windows thing

[unborn lance]

Gotcha

Its late so I'll look at it later but, thanks

So, .NET is like, needed for the command line to not do nothing then, I take it

I'm not the most computer-literate.

[graceful iron]

i think its important for a few programs to run correctly on windows, normally its updated automatically with windows updates

[willow hawk]

It's important to display graphical interfaces for instance

But there should be a way to disable your antivirus as well (disable protection or something)

[graceful iron]

disable firewalls (on avast at least)

does gamma installer need a specific version of .NET or is the "current" version (seems to be 5.0) fine?

[mellow leaf]

Is there a way to change the hud alpha (transparency)?

[willow hawk]

Texture edit

[willow hawk]

I have no clue

[mellow leaf]

Ok ty, I'm trying to play a hud free experience, but that seems impossible without getting adequate info from the hud

[willow hawk]

Yes. I tried to reduce the HUD to the bare minimum with GAMMA already

Basically, everything in one corner

[mellow leaf]

Would it be possible to have the hud enabled when pressing inventory (tab key for me)? Like instantly?

I also have another suggestion, where would be the place to post that?

Guess I'll post in feedback

[halcyon mulch]

I think there is a hud toggle key.

[willow hawk]

There's an addon doing that. EFT interface or something

[mellow leaf]

Thanks!

[mellow leaf]

Yeah I'm toggling it off, but there's two buttons, one for eft hud and the other is gamma hud.
So streamlining that to inventory key would be best if possible.

[halcyon mulch]

Try and see if both can be placed on one key.sometimes this works

[solid berry]

does my detector look zoomed in? idk I think I pressed something

it zooms in whenever I equip a bolt so I'll assume its normal

[halcyon mulch]

MuthaTruckers!!! My internet is back baby!

@solid berry yeah its set to different position depending on whats in other hand.

[solid berry]

thanks

[drowsy girder]

is Gamma Footsteps supposed to be disabled?

[graceful iron]

enable it and put it anywhere in mo2, apparently place does not matter for it

[drowsy girder]

i thought it was one of the disabled mods

[brisk zinc]

Always asked this for myself, thank you

[brisk zinc]

You can use it

[normal cloud]

can someone tell me please how i can activate the debug menu ?

[graceful iron]

run > tick debug > play stalker anomaly

[normal cloud]

oh thanks

[brisk zinc]

Then you can continue to use whatever DX you were using before

[ancient ruin]

any mod to keybind the idle/inspect weapon animation

[warped ginkgo]

Its the unjam button

[ancient ruin]

does that work with vanilla anomaly?

[warped ginkgo]

No

Wpo has the unjam button

And the animation of inspect weapon dependa if the weapon itself has that animation

[ancient ruin]

do all the vanilla ones have?

[warped ginkgo]

I think none have then

I dont remember well

[ancient ruin]

oh ok

[warped ginkgo]

Blindside and bas

Have some of them

[ancient ruin]

ok thank you

[normal cloud]

does someone know where i can find the documents for the artefact hunting quest at x19 i am searching at the entrance but i dont find anything or is it the wrong area ?

or can it be the area before you go to pripyat there is a little room with a ladder and a keypad

nevermind found it

XD

[golden elm]

Where should I go for this quest? Pirogov does mention somewhere called junkyard. Is that place the Garbage?

[graceful iron]

i think junkyard is truck cemetery

[normal cloud]

no it is garbage

does someone know what location deadwood is supposed to be?

[solid berry]

probably darkscape

probably

[graceful iron]

i was just guessing at this point these google translations are getting out of hand

[normal cloud]

yep

[graceful iron]

i would guess deadwood is for darkscape, the place fits the description "deadwood"

[normal cloud]

i thought it would be red forrest i am searching red forrest first and go then to darkscape

[graceful iron]

red forest would not be called "deadwood" by any language, its known by the color red i believe

[normal cloud]

but the quest mentions trees where these artefacts would spawn and in the red forrest are anomaly zoney with a lots of trees in it in darkscape not really

[graceful iron]

hmm, you have a point

i have not done this specific quest so i cant be sure either

goodluck with that and i hope if you dont find it someone here points out where this is supposed to be

[normal cloud]

ok it is not red forrest

i really dont know where this deadwood should be i dont get why the locations are called different in the first place from the standart names ingame

[golden elm]

Aye. Truck Cemetery is called Graveyard of Technology in the questline.

[icy nebula]

Should I check 'EAX' in the sound settings ? Have a 5.1 sound system

[strange moon]

Any way i can fix the random crashes of gamma?

[desert robin]

Is there some way to stop these stupid shitty ghosts that fly at you half way across the map for some reason and make this shitty annoying noise? God this shits me so much.

[brisk zinc]

This is the most generic thing of 2022

It could be anything

IIRC you have a potato computer, could be one problem

[desert robin]

dumb n00b question; How do followers work? When you start getting good rep you can hire/find some? I have one i found in 100rads bar randomly but never found any since.. not sure how/where to get them or if i need some sort of Resume to list my strengths and weaknesses before they want to start showing up.

Stalker - Male - Likes long walks in the zone and holding hands. Openminded with Freedom and likes watching mutant videos. can use weapons and do stuff good. Looking for companions. pls hire me.

[lapis silo]

this is in Garbage behind the flea market in the cellar

[golden elm]

Thank you so much!

[lapis silo]

[strange moon]

Yeah...you might be right there

[desert robin]

Hi guys. I found some docs when getting the strelok ones, and most main traders i have the option to 'sell the info' to them, but im not sure if im supposed to hold onto them or what the most optimal option is to sell them to.. any tips?

[sour urchin]

how do gun jams work in WPO vs vanilla anomaly? honestly been a very long time since i played unmodded anomaly and im jumping bettween Gamma+ and COP Gunslinger atm

[fresh fiber]

If I remember well, in WPO your gun can jam because of the individual health of each part of the gun, and the gun health (the green bar) is the cleanliness of the gun, if it's low it doesn't make you jam more often but it makes the part deteriorates faster which in turn will cause jams eventually

[strong ice]

Is there a list anywhere that has all the different radio songs gamma adds? Would love to make a playlist for then all lol

[north turret]

i might of asked this before but my anomaly as EFP 3 Installed can this gamma be ran with it as well ? Cheers

[graceful iron]

gamma only adds a mod that has extra radio music

[graceful iron]

you need a new anomaly folder that has not been changed and you need to make sure you follow the install steps correctly, but yes its possible

[strong ice]

Any idea what the mod is called?

[graceful iron]

extended radios, wait let me get the full name

oh apparently its 2 of them

[strong ice]

Gotcha thank you 🙂

[graceful iron]

you can probably find more about them on moddb

[willow hawk]

Check radio addon in Audio part of MO2

[drowsy girder]

when you favorite an item, does that favorite that specific item or the item type?

[graceful iron]

the item type

[drowsy girder]

ohh i don't have to carry every single armor part i find anymore

[graceful iron]

so if you favorite "12x70 buckshot" all of that will be favorited even when trading/looting/stashes

[drowsy girder]

also i think it's a bug but you can sell certain bas guns sometimes

[graceful iron]

known

[modest depot]

https://streamable.com/pyhcvq can anyone tell me what mod makes all unisg aks and other modern aks sound like this

[graceful iron]

RC2?

[modest depot]

yea

[graceful iron]

in RC1 they dont sound like that but in RC2 its been reported that they sound weird

[modest depot]

so its unintentional?

weird

[graceful iron]

#947823414767419403 message

not sure what addon is causing it

make sure to report RC2 stuff in their channels, so no confusion is created

[strong ice]

is freedom supposed to have like 70% of there guys in Army Warehouses wearing exos? on a super new character?

[graceful iron]

no...

[strong ice]

F

got a mission to kill a group of them, went to do it. quicksaved a few too many times and now I've been fighting them off for the last 2 hours...

I've probably killed about 100+ freedomers, and almost all of them are in exos

mostly the orange helmet exos.

[graceful iron]

exoskeletons ?

[strong ice]

yeah

or exosuits

[graceful iron]

that is beyond me, never seen that happen in anomaly or any modpack

[strong ice]

RIP

[graceful iron]

you are playing base gamma on story mode?

[strong ice]

Should be

No other modes ticked. easiest difficulty.

This is the suit most of them are wearing: need to take pic one sec

of course my print screen doesn't wanna work >:|

[tidal raft]

F12 to save a screenshot.

[strong ice]

exo guy and his exo buddies. one group of them.... have like 15 more down the hill

[tidal raft]

There can't be over one-hundred freedom members in one area.

[graceful iron]

wait did you provoke the main base?

[tidal raft]

There are spawn limits either way, even if he did.

[graceful iron]

ik

but i think he is just adding spices with those numbers

[strong ice]

eventually they did get pissed from the main base,

But they keep coming

I've wiped most of them and they seem to be infinite.

[tidal raft]

So, run away?

[strong ice]

I have over 60 stalker kills just from this area...

all on freedom. and there's still more

[drowsy girder]

yeah army warehouses is way too populated

[strong ice]

Hence why I think it's bugged/broken

[strong ice]

I would but I have to finish off some jobs here, so I figure why not get it done sooner, rather than later. + I'm curious to see how many end up being here.

[tidal raft]

Maybe it's the counter-measure Grok floated..

[strong ice]

• the number of ones in exosuits/exoskeletons seems to be insane

like 3/4 of them are in exos

[graceful iron]

he mentioned he would do something about bases but i think he didnt do yet

[tidal raft]

#╟📸screenshots message

[drowsy girder]

i haven't seen that many exos but when i'm in freedom base sometimes i see like 20-30 of freedomers spawn in one place

[strong ice]

Yeah, this is crazy. Gone through like 200+ 7.62 rounds fighting them off. gotta start looting them mid fight trying to scavenge some rounds to use lol

[tidal raft]

It's a non-issue. It is a base—it is supposed to house many members.

[drowsy girder]

not spawn continuously though

[tidal raft]

Do you have proof of them spawning in? Console screenshots?

[drowsy girder]

nope

[strong ice]

I don't know if console records previous sessions

[tidal raft]

No. Only on-going sessions.

[strong ice]

RIP, I took a break after like an hour+ of fighting

but they seem to be mostly backed off now

I can count exos and corpses if you'd like

with pictures of the bodies

[tidal raft]

Take their IDs too, identified by the Debug menu.

[strong ice]

I don't have debug mode on,

[graceful iron]

gamma defaults on 75 exclusion area, means they can spawn if he is still in army warehouses but just far enough for them to spawn while also reducing their total numbers

[tidal raft]

Usually something like "stalker_freedom_25747" or something.

[graceful iron]

but thats very specific and we never seen it before at that rate..

[strong ice]

So far I'm up to 14 exosuits/exoskeletons

[drowsy girder]

can you increase it or is it supposed to stay at 75

[tidal raft]

If it happens he should be able to see it happening in the console.

[graceful iron]

100 is the max and its barely noticeable

[tidal raft]

New squads aren't supposed to spawn in continuously with ZCP.

[drowsy girder]

this isn't a gamma bug though it happened to me in vanilla too

[strong ice]

I think some of the bodies are despawning cause some of the guys I killed near a campfire are gone

[tidal raft]

Only refresh after twelve hours.

[drowsy girder]

i think it's anomaly bug

[strong ice]

but I'm up to 44 corpses, and 26 exos

[tidal raft]

There's a maximum corpse count to save memory.

[strong ice]

Probably missed a few due to being in bushes or whatever, + if any despawned

That sucks

Im missing out on so much juicy loot probably

[drowsy girder]

you're gonna be fine anyway

you're john wick

[strong ice]

I'll go take a look inside freedom base and see whats left

inb4 it's packed

[graceful iron]

you can change this amount in gameplay settings

if anyone is curious

[strong ice]

Okay so. freedom base is completely packed to the f**king brim with freedomers still

[tidal raft]

• Kicks the bees nest
• "omg, y r ther so many bees!?"
• keeps swatting them while getting stung
• later wants to check if there's any honey in the nest
  

[strong ice]

before getting to the gate I already ran into 3 guys coming up the bridge at freedom base. 1 with an exo

smoked them, went in deeper.

and it's jam packed with them still

like I was never here

guess freedoms been holding out on the zone, cause with these numbers they could easily wipe all factions in the zone

I don't know. It's not believable since I've done similar runs and never had this "issue".

[graceful iron]

unless you get some proof in console that they are spawning still we cant do much and you just have to deal with it or get out from there

[strong ice]

Same, this is my 3rd playthrough on Gamma, just fresh installed RC2 never seen this stuff before

Do I copy the whole console? or do I Just screenshot it?

[graceful iron]

RC2 ?

[strong ice]

Yeah the new version

[tidal raft]

Screenshot the text where you see "Spawning [stalker_freedom_235135]" something.

[strong ice]

Thats why I figured i'd mention the issue lol

does the console save through reloads?

[tidal raft]

No.

[strong ice]

because if so I doubt it has much info

Cause I've been savescumming big time over this lmao

[tidal raft]

Okay, well.. Until you provide some evidence it feels like a 'boy cries wolf' situation.

[strong ice]

Does console show this stuff if Debug isn't turned on?

[tidal raft]

I'll run a test myself when I've set up my RC2.

Yes.

[strong ice]

Okay, if I run into it again I'll record console

[tidal raft]

If there are many NPCs being spawned at the same time (mutants and stalkers alike) you should feel a slight freeze in the game.

[strong ice]

When I was going up to freedom base it was stuttering super badly

so maybe that was it? or it was just rendering people already inside the base? or new texture or something:?

[tidal raft]

Either or, neither nor. Console pics, or nothing can be asserted.

[drowsy girder]

what does this mean

`Grok will spawn some artefacts on current level in 300000ms
Time continual is:2285904
there are 1 new categories
stack trace:

at address 0x00000001401E5E34`

[graceful iron]

thats artefacts spawns

[drowsy girder]

why was this in my copy paste after the crash though

[graceful iron]

thats how crashes work

so you can report crash logs easily

i think its setup like that by anomaly devs

[drowsy girder]

no other stalkers have it too

i think they do i don't remember correctly

anyway does it say why did this crash happen

[graceful iron]

maybe its setup like that in all games with crash logs for bug fixing ...

idk

i am just guessing

[graceful iron]

this i know for sure with anomaly

[drowsy girder]

okay

[drowsy girder]

but does this say why it happened

[tidal raft]

Might have something to do with the new artefact system.
Post it in #947823370613960715 if you are playing RC2.

[drowsy girder]

nope it's rc1

[tidal raft]

Then #old-bugs

[strong ice]

Also any idea why some of the medical items like Cocaine cause your limbs to take damage? like a full HP limb will suddenly get "First aid" on it, and then it will slowly tick down and be damaged as if it was not healed in the first place?

[tidal raft]

Drugs are not healthy.

[strong ice]

Yeah but for them to cause your arms and legs to break seems odd..

[tidal raft]

Sure, that's your opinion.

[strong ice]

I could understand your bodies overall HP to go down, but not to put all of your limbs to half health...

[tidal raft]

Cocaine shakes.

[drowsy girder]

i had a friend who was never not on drugs but her legs and arms weren't broken

[strong ice]

Cause I've never done a line of Cocaine and suddenly my arms and legs, head, and chest are suddenly broken.

then they should go away after a short period of time, not cause permanent damage

[graceful iron]

[drowsy girder]

why

[tidal raft]

You may think so, but its a game balance decision—not necessarily a realism one.

[strong ice]

But the drugs are often extremely expensive, inaccessible, and already have big downsides.

[tidal raft]

Okay, and?

[strong ice]

Half of the drugs in game cause your guy to become extremely hungry after using a single time, cause dizziness, and are costly. especially when they're constantly needing to be used due to taking a microscopic amount of damage to a leg and then you can no longer sprint full speed.

So why go further to make them "Balanced" when they're already un-balanced it seems?

[graceful iron]

[tidal raft]

You think it'd be "more balanced" by having a supply of twenty plus Cocaine shots, costing 500 RU a piece, and have no side-effects?

[strong ice]

No, but having it not cost me over 20000 Ru to take some cocaine would be nice.

[strong ice]

Example, I take cocaine, immediately have to take Ibuprofen to avoid getting the extreme dizziness caused by basically every other drug. thats like 5000 RU, then I need to take one of the other multiple choices of drugs to fix my head, and thorax.

or if I forgot to instantly take ibuprofen and other drugs within 10 seconds of using cocaine,

I now have to spend even more money wasting a First aid kit to give first aid,

and then use another ibuprofen/random drug to fix H/T

[tidal raft]

Cocaine resembles more of a 'last resort'-option. Rather than something you take every day, like caffeine pills.

[strong ice]

and it made me extremely dehydrated and hungry (red) so I have to use my MRE, and bottled water.

[graceful iron]

MRE...

[strong ice]

Yes, but as a last resort option it seems to be incredibly taxing.

[tidal raft]

That's what a last resort is!

[graceful iron]

last resort is exactly that...
