[ember mountain]

any idea why ?

[graceful iron]

can you go to mo2 and launch DX11AVX ?

[vapid dirge]

yes, it still launches fine It seems

[ember mountain]

i get notifcation error

[graceful iron]

it crashes ?

[ember mountain]

application has been blockjed

[ember mountain]

yes its says app has been blocked

from accesing graphic hardware

[graceful iron]

[old nexus]

welp, the game crashes now

rip

[graceful iron]

close ini, launch gamma once and then close and open ini again? see if its back to normal ?

[graceful iron]

crash log? what happened to cause a crash or what changed ?

[vapid dirge]

that was my first try

[ember mountain]

already did that still have the problem

[quick cloak]

Can i disable the dynamic anomalies? not really digging it very much

[vapid dirge]

MCM has the options for it i believe

[old nexus]

I switched from compass mod to minimap mod and now I can't load my savegames.
Though I'm fairly sure that's not the issue because:

• It's a small mod.
• Switching back doesn't work.

Should I post the entire log or is the 'FATAL ERROR' part good enough? 😋

[graceful iron]

i think you need to disable it and disable a gamma fixes mod for it? @brisk zinc you have the latest update ?

[graceful iron]

just drag and drop the log to discord, it should be in anomaly/appdata/logs

[brisk zinc]

Yes I have the last update (I don't know of what but yes )

[graceful iron]

this

[graceful iron]

you also disabled campfire saving? disable yacs no quit

make sure to mention every mod you enable/disable when reporting bugs/crashes, and make sure to use the correct channels #old-bugs

[brisk zinc]

Yeah what about it? I don't know if he can disable it just fine, I can try

[old nexus]

Okay, that might've been a misclick. Apologies, and thank you kindly.

[graceful iron]

is there a gamma fixes mod for it ?

[vapid dirge]

this means it didnt work right

[graceful iron]

but its running ?

[vapid dirge]

yes

[graceful iron]

and it looks like this ?

[brisk zinc]

Don't think so

[vapid dirge]

oh no

I tried running the cmd one last time and it did not launch

I see my error.

I did it. It works

Thanks a lot Cat and Falco, im pretty dumb

[brisk zinc]

[vapid dirge]

but that also brings me back to why my faction progress went away

[graceful iron]

did you delete the save files or something ?

[vapid dirge]

I deleted them, but the factions remained so i thought it was patched or something

[ember mountain]

is there no fix for amd user i look around in the discord people that had same problem coudlnt fix it either

[vapid dirge]

I guess its still attached to individual saves

[graceful iron]

last time someone tried the troubleshooting fix but it didnt work, i dont remember what they did after that fixed it

i can try looking for the conversation just give me a sec

[ember mountain]

thanks

[graceful iron]

#old-bugs message , found the conversation
either the software needs an update or run a file check (i dont remember the exact details i found this fix when searching on google) you can search the exact error with your GPU and see if any helpful fixes show up in google

[ember mountain]

Talked with the guy he said he couldn't fix it either thanks anyway gonna try more google

[ember vortex]

game has stopped launching randomly, after clicking "play s.t.a.l.k.e.r anomaly" in the launcher, the anomaly image shows then it never loads and stops responding in task manager

[graceful iron]

post the log?

[ember vortex]

log is empty

it doesn't crash it just isn't getting past the anomaly image anymore

not loading to menu ect

[graceful iron]

empty?

[ember vortex]

yeah the anomaly log is empty

[graceful iron]

the log file in anomaly/appdata/logs is empty ?

[ember vortex]

yh

[graceful iron]

is anomaly being blocked by something on your pc? AV?

[ember vortex]

no I don't have any AV

gamma has worked fine past few days

[graceful iron]

windows defender ?

[ember vortex]

its disabled

this happened earlier today but on the 3rd launch it finally worked

now it ain't xD

[graceful iron]

did you change anything ?

[ember vortex]

not changed or updated anything since yday

just launched it in dx11 and it works

lemme try dx8 again

it works now

[desert robin]

Anyone ever had silent crash? No crash logs, nothing, game just vanishes in the middle of playing, and there's no trace of it occuring?

[graceful iron]

you mean literally like this? no crash error or anything just game closes

[desert robin]

Yep

[graceful iron]

i had that 10 minutes ago and its not the first time

makes me want to disable campfire saving

[desert robin]

Yeah, it's my main source of crashes.

Oh is it campfire saving? This happens when not saving specifically, just for no reason seemingly.

[graceful iron]

no, remove it so i can save anywhere since i lose quite a bit of progress

i have no idea what causes this

[desert robin]

Yeah its kinda fucked up

Does Grok know about it?

[graceful iron]

a few times people reported logs with no crash, grok said there is just no crash and its xray doing something

[desert robin]

Never had it happen until like a week ago or so

[graceful iron]

doing a complete installation update(deleted mods) since i have not updated in a good few days, hoping this helps somehow

[desert robin]

Except 10mins ago?

Oh nvm i get it now

[graceful iron]

clearing radar for living legend, game freezes for 2 seconds and closes

losing an invictus run does not hurt as much as that

[delicate sand]

So, I disabled particles cinematic and got this

[graceful iron]

dont disable particles, seems grok forgot to do something with some new effects and now they crash

idk when its going to be fixed

[delicate sand]

Oh I see

bad

[graceful iron]

yup thats the error

[dusty flicker]

is there anyway to disable immersive sleep i disabled it in mo2 but it still working in games?

[graceful iron]

disable immersive sleep and immersive sleep patch

[dusty flicker]

i disabled both immersive sleep and fdda immersive sleep patch in QOL mods but it still seems to be working

[graceful iron]

you cant sleep any time? says you are not tired ?

[dusty flicker]

yea is that not a immersive sleep feature or some other mod

[graceful iron]

oh wait, there also should be a sleep balance mod i think it also has its own patches as well

[dusty flicker]

ok do you know were i can find it

in mo2

[graceful iron]

search sleep balance ?

[dusty flicker]

yo thanks so much im new to mo2 i didnt know there was a search lol

[dusty flicker]

i disabled it

[graceful iron]

does it have a patch ? i dont have the mod list right now so i cant check

you can click on it and then see what mods are highlighted in red

[dusty flicker]

i dont think so when i search it up its the only thing

[graceful iron]

ok, i guess try now see if sleeping is back to normal

[dusty flicker]

ok will do thanks again

[torn sonnet]

is there a good way to chill out the specular highlights when raining? mine are pretty intense

[graceful iron]

did you try the gloss factor ? #│🔧troubleshooting

[torn sonnet]

yeah, (sorry i can use that channel)

[graceful iron]

what?

[torn sonnet]

the gloss factor/min have basically no impact. i think it has to do with wet surfaces

[graceful iron]

could have to do with one of the visual addons as well, not exactly sure

[torn sonnet]

hmmm ok. i wonder if its SSR

[summer sandal]

where can i find active charcoal for gasmasks? besides gasmasks? all the ones i find are at 1%

[desert robin]

I dont know if it still happens much, but something that might be useful (or not) took 2 sec, incase it's wanted/needed ever in future as a way to stop the issue of people disabling water and sleep and then breaking their save xD

[graceful iron]

its still in #old-how-to as a big warning to not change both of them, i guess this is also good

[edgy echo]

This is SSS shaders. You can try the latest version on Moddb, I feel like they toned down those reflections a little bit

There is instructions on the mod page to adjust the ssr intensity too, didn't tried personally

[torn sonnet]

ok will try. if i set r3_dynamic_wet_surfaces to off it goes away

[edgy echo]

yeah better edit the shaders config directly

[torn sonnet]

perfect ty

oh lol its right there in the header file awesome

[wise sparrow]

if you get unlucky with components like that you can repair another piece of gear that has that same component until that component is above 50% and then disassemble it to get a repairable component. for example if you had another gas mask like the m40 that just needs some more common components and an activated charcoal just replacing the two common components will put it around 60% and increase the quality of the activated charcoal on the item. you can then repair it (if you need to) until the activated charcoal is above 50% and then disassemble the mask to get it's components back.

[light mauve]

Anything wrong been getting horrible frames

[summer sandal]

so far the gas masks are at less than 5%

[wise sparrow]

yeah, you would use the work bench from your basic tools and the appropriate maintenance kit to replace the components #│📚manual

[summer sandal]

the problem is that the charcoal filters on all the gas masks are %1, they can't be swapped out

i could disassemble my respirator for the charcoal filter, but i'd rather not

i'm gonna wait to farm some gas masks with charcoal filters at least %50 condition so i can fix the individual parts

[ember vortex]

what is hotkey to change zoom on marchf and cqbss scopes ect

cant find it in settings

[jagged lance]

6 i think

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma message

[wise sparrow]

this helmet has a charcoal filter at 1%. you can replace all the other parts and repair it. now all components are 100% and you can disassemble it to get the parts back.

[summer sandal]

i'll give it a try

[soft leaf]

cool idea man i never thought of that

[summer sandal]

thanks, it works

[graceful iron]

post the log, it should be in anomaly/appdata/logs

that log has no crash ?

no mods go to end of loader anymore, why are you arranging mods?

make sure mo2 is sorting by priority and if the mod order is scrambled #│🔧troubleshooting scrambled load order

dont move mods yourself, there is no need for that

i assume you have gammaRC3 installed right ? and the installer is version 3.2 ?

RC2 ?

why not update to RC3 ? its literally just more stable and has more content/updates also not sure if RC2 works anymore

#💽how-to-update last message has the instructions to update from RC1 or 2 to 3, once you are done moving the downloads folder and setting up the RC3 folder make sure to delete the RC2 folder completely

dont put gamma or anomaly on desktop

oh ok

once you move the downloads folder you can delete the existing gammaRC2 folder

you can keep the same anomaly folder you were using for gammaRC2

yes

[acoustic timber]

sorry, could I have help reading this HUD?

I dont know what the circled parts are

[brisk zinc]

Top bar: Psy health

[acoustic timber]

Im also unsure what the right hand bars are as well

[brisk zinc]

First lower bar: radiations
Second lower bar: stamina

[acoustic timber]

tyvm

what are the three right bars that are depleted?

I used bandage which seemed to stop bleeding but it seems using first aid kit fills up the body meter and stops those bars deteriorating further

[brisk zinc]

Left and right arm, left and right leg, torso, head

[acoustic timber]

ah ic

[brisk zinc]

On the right you have the right stuff, on the left, well...

[acoustic timber]

so my torso and right side of my body is injured

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[acoustic timber]

does only first aid kits and sleeping permanently restore them>

[brisk zinc]

If you're bleeding, you use a bandage, that will refill for a limited time those bars

Then you need to take another medicine to actually heal yourself

[willow hawk]

#│📚manual

[brisk zinc]

Check in #│📚manual yes

[acoustic timber]

ah ic

tyvm all!

[willow hawk]

Healing

Use basic healing items like medkits or bandages to heal your main health. It will also heal your limbs temporarily (yellow HP). To convert these temporary HP to permanent HP for your limbs (yellow to white HP) use post heal items (like Ibuprofen, with white dots in their description).

[jagged lance]

knowing how to heal is setting yourself up for failure

just dont take damage 🙂

[willow hawk]

Items with post heal effects have a little white heart on their icon. Items giving you main body health usually have a red heart icons. These items with red heart usually give temporary limb HP. You can hover item to see their temp and post heal effects (yellow and white dots)

[desert robin]

A missing texture?

[willow hawk]

Its just a UI thing don't worry

[calm tangle]

Its in the MCM

[graceful iron]

is more aggressive npc looting now part of the default gamma experience ?

[north turret]

i did a Fresh Install of Anomaly and Gamma 1.5 days ago and it's not ticked by default, no

[graceful iron]

its ticked by default now

a few people confirmed this

[north turret]

i had it on Default before aswell

but not after the Fresh re-install

is what i wanted to say

[north turret]

that does remind me when i had it on it didn't really do anything

most of the time Stalkers didn't care if i yoinked their Loot

[graceful iron]

did you have it enabled with loot claim ?

[north turret]

No

does it work for you?

[graceful iron]

i have not used it yet

[willow hawk]

Main difference is that they loot bodies faster

[fleet grail]

Fusing 80% Stone blood and 90% Jellyfish results in 19% Wretched, is this intentional or?

[graceful iron]

its intentional

it does not take the condition of the used artefacts into consideration

[fleet grail]

i've been empowering all the duplicates i have, and i had alot.

[lapis silo]

I know the pain man, empowered an empty to 100%, thinking it would carry over to a Full Empty..

[fleet grail]

Does going past 100% resist on i.e fire have any effect?

[graceful iron]

you cant actually do that, it will show 100% but it wont be like that, helmets only protect head and the suit only protects other parts

artefacts add a "general" protection around the whole body

[fleet grail]

So, 2x Volat = 114% But it wont fully negate Elect. damage?

[graceful iron]

i have no idea, but it definitely wont stop 100% damage

[jagged lance]

doesnt stacking artifacts give decreasing benefits?

ie first one could give 50% second one 25% etc

[graceful iron]

for all artefacts ?

[jagged lance]

I know some give different benefits when you stack

but i mean the vanilla ones that just give % resistances

[fleet grail]

Well, 4x Volat would be 228% Elect. Resistance, even if it'd be only 25% stack it'd still reach "114%" which should fully negate

[graceful iron]

anomaly has really broken damages and resistances

[fleet grail]

idk cant find any documentation of scaling etc on google

[graceful iron]

and they dont tell full truths

its only in the files

[jagged lance]

each stack would decrease in benefit

so 50% 25% 12.5% 6.25% etc so you never reach 100%

but yeah idk how the stacking works in anomaly

[fleet grail]

You can reach 100% even if its ½ of the ½

[lapis silo]

Also, 20% protection on an artifact does not 20% damage decrease from that damage type, just throwing that in

[fleet grail]

**So its based(.) **on % of base value or?

[graceful iron]

best way to know exactly is to look at the files, but good luck making any sense of it

[lapis silo]

If you have 5% fire protection from your suit and equip an arti which has 20% fire resis, you don't have 25% fire res. You have 20% more fire resis than before, so around 7% or so

[fleet grail]

So artis just x% the % of suit?

[lapis silo]

Yes, the better you're protection from the get-go, the more effective artis will be.

[fleet grail]

Thats so dumb way of showing it ingame

[lapis silo]

I agree It's just the way it is

[lapis silo]

Yes, gotta remember that, never fully trust the stats in game

[fleet grail]

Tbh even with 0 information on armor and artifacts just general description gives more info

[desert robin]

Is there any benefit of giving the repairer toolkits?

[fleet grail]

All 3 gives the achi which is beneficial.

[graceful iron]

you can buy repair kits from them, and at advanced tools they sell the part repair kit

but its much more cost effective to craft most things

[fleet grail]

So, Armor with 5% Ballistic protection, artifact/hide with 1% Ballistic prot. actually only gives 0.05% increase?

[lapis silo]

We have a spreadsheet for armors in #│📚manual and you can check the artifacts efffects via the debug, if that helps

[lapis silo]

Ballistic Protection is different, that is a whole nother clusterfuck

just stack as much ballistic protec as possible

[graceful iron]

some attachments only protect parts of the body

as strelok said, its a much bigger mess than other resistances

[desert robin]

Is yantar scientist the best place to sell artifacts? or anywhere?

[fleet grail]

Garbage trainyard hunter

imo he pays the most on every item

[graceful iron]

ecologists in general but yes the one at yantar or the bunker at jupiter pay the most for them

[desert robin]

huh... i wonder why that is? (about trainyard)

[graceful iron]

you are talking about vanilla anomaly, also thats not true for "all" items

[fleet grail]

be friends with eco
buy meds at yantar
sell at trainyard
<profit

[delicate wharf]

no way that works on survivalist lol

[graceful iron]

go ahead and do that in gamma

[north turret]

only people that play Sin know this, but Dazhbog sells for most

and sells for least

(on Survivalist)

[fleet grail]

thats not default setting

[desert robin]

It should be imo

[graceful iron]

you didnt say default settings, but gamma is meant to be played on hard/survivalist so you are kinda wrong

[fleet grail]

Safe to assume when someone asks something, is to that they just installed and pressed play.

[north turret]

i wondered. Is it possible to make more Difficulty settings?

[desert robin]

Yes. Ive done it.

[fleet grail]

It is

[graceful iron]

safe to assume 70% of people who play gamma have played anomaly so much they think hard /survivalist is just easy mode with extra steps for a casual 1 day run

[desert robin]

Never played Anomaly, started gamma on hard and thought it was a joke. Made my own difficulty.

[north turret]

i'm guessing i can't do Invictus run with that unless it's flagged as Survivalist?

[desert robin]

Correct

[north turret]

not gonna do one anytime soon, i think i'll wait for 1.0 Release but if it worked with Higher Difficulty settings that'd be dope

[fleet grail]

Rate which Gamma crashes why would anyone even attempt Invictus run

[north turret]

My game crashed 3 times during mine...

[graceful iron]

that explains quite a bit and now that i think about it i believe you told me this before at some point

[north turret]

it's not that deep.

[desert robin]

A couple of people have done it

[graceful iron]

its not hard, just time consuming and annoying at some parts

crashes are definitely a big part of the annoyance

[desert robin]

Any way to teleport to an npc that has messaged in the PDA? I keep seeing 'i need a guide to X, im SOUTH OF THE ENTRANCE TO THE BAR" and i searched literally the entire of Rostok, multiple times and cannot find them. Then someone else said the same thing, and i cant find them either?

Where in the literal fuck is "South of the entrance to the bar" because as far as im concerned it's Narnia

[royal oxide]

Can confirm, I always find these dudes by accident, never by the location they give

[desert robin]

Like do they spawn under the map or wtf man

Found the bastard at the bar. That i searched twice. Now guiding 13 Duty to cordon.. -_-

[tame halo]

Ambient music stops playing after loading quicksave, and only comes back if i completely quit to main menu and load same save again. Any way to fix this?

[north turret]

do you Alt Tab

[tame halo]

yes, all the time

[north turret]

That's why

[tame halo]

Hmm, i dont remember this behavior in vanilla 1.5.1. I also played in borderless and alt tabbed frequently.

[north turret]

Play in Fullscreen and before you Alt Tab press ESC, this may or may not aleviate the issue

[grave canopy]

is the dynamic anomalies addon added now? i updated modpack but i cant see it in mods

[willow hawk]

It is

[grave canopy]

why cant i see it in mo2?

[lapis silo]

It should be Number 234, check if you have that

[grave canopy]

i dont

[north turret]

did you do a Complete Install?

[grave canopy]

no i only did the update

[north turret]

when it was added to Gamma Grok explicitly mentioned in #📢announcements to do a Complete Install

[grave canopy]

oh i did not see it

ty

[summer sable]

hi sorry bit new in this, what's the default key for using the canted red dot? cant seem to find its keybind. tys

[north turret]

V

[grave canopy]

the game crashes when i kill military cordon technician

[ember herald]

did u headshot him

cant say the same for others but my game often crashes whenever i headshot a technician

[scenic yacht]

what's up with the load times now? they're like 5+ mins long now for me even on new saves. didn't used to be like that and for a game that's prone to crashing and has a lot of level transitions, it stinks

[north turret]

They are usually like 20 seconds for me

or less

[jagged lance]

yeah ive noticed loadtimes have increased a bit since an update or two ago

[light mauve]

What Dx do you guys use for stability

[ripe junco]

On rc 1, loads were 10 seconds for me. Now it feels close to a minute after Rc3.

Loading is actually fast as before. But now there's a pretty long period of just unresponsive waiting before the loading screen comes up.

[scenic yacht]

DX11

[light mauve]

I'm using a Amd

[north turret]

Whats your guys rigs? I don't even have that much of a great one, 1070 and i7700k and Load times are super quick for me

[scenic yacht]

but odd. Can't think of why it'd take a long while now to load the stuff

I also ahve a 1070 with an i9 cpu but load times are very long

[light mauve]

For me its 5 minutes

[ripe junco]

Rx 570 4gb and r7 3700x for me.

[scenic yacht]

yea that's about same for me

[light mauve]

I got a rx550 and a ryzen 5 2400g

[ripe junco]

It's not 5 minutes but I feel it increased by 5 times as rc1.

[light mauve]

And when I use dx11 I get 20 fps

[scenic yacht]

not sure what all of a sudden made it like several times longer, but it was definitely recently for me but hm

not sure if a full reinstall would do anything, but i can try it as a last resort since not everyone is having insane load times it seems

[light mauve]

Is dx9 the original render

[scenic yacht]

I thought it was dx11

[light mauve]

The original was dx8 but when call of pripyat came out it came with dx11 I think

But dx9 is the original stable render to use

But honestly every pc is different

[scenic yacht]

I'll probably try a fresh install

If the load times are still long, then ripp

[light mauve]

Its what I'm doing now just finish up

[scenic yacht]

Well if ya get better results then lemme know before i full commit to wipin my own stuff

[light mauve]

Guess I'll try dx9

[willow hawk]

Potentially the dynamic anomalous zones

[scenic yacht]

hm

[willow hawk]

Everything is on an SSD ?

[scenic yacht]

I can try and disable it to see improvements

but no, not on my SSD

[willow hawk]

That's the issue

SSD helps a lot with loading times

[jagged lance]

mine is on ssd and yeah it sounds like DAO is the culprit

loading times arent unbearable though

[scenic yacht]

well that's the thing, it didn't used to be like this

even on my normal hdd

so ssd can't be the issue

i know it'll run faster with ssd, but i tend to keep games and files off it unless necessary

[whole pewter]

No, it's more likely the DAZ mate. My game is on SSD, my Win is minimal just for games, and the loading times even for DX11 no avx are about 5x what they were before DAZ was introduced.

[willow hawk]

Hum

[whole pewter]

It literally changed overnight a few days ago with nothing more than an updated install. No settings changed or anything like that. So it's content related 🙂
I can put up with it though, as I prefer the new zone setups

[ripe junco]

It was the same for me before DAZ though. I used to play with rc1 but after I switched to Rc3 with a clean install, load times went up by 5 times it seems.

[quick cloak]

is azir mutant bleed untick by default?

[whole pewter]

Yeah, idk exactly which bit of content it was, but it was certainly a few days ago. idk, 3 or 4 days?

[scenic yacht]

yea that sounds about when my own game started sluggin down

so i'm sure it was something added around that time

[light mauve]

Whats Daz

[whole pewter]

If I'd kept my older logs I could have seen what the difference was in spawns etc, but sadly I didn't 😦

[jagged lance]

it makes sense for it to be the artefact mod because itd have to spawn all the new anomalies too

[whole pewter]

Dynamic Anomalous Zones. I just made up DAZ to shorten what Grok had typed 🙂

[light mauve]

Ah ok

Is it heavy

[scenic yacht]

Seems like it might be but unsure so far

Whatever might've increased load times as of recent updates might be fairly heavy on the games initialization but it seems like it varies from computer to computer

[light mauve]

For me its shaders and shadows

Been playing on dx11 but it stutters on me

[whole pewter]

To be honest, going back to longer loads/saves just reminds me of vanilla, and it also gives me time to smoke...

[light mauve]

Nope dx9 crash

[scenic yacht]

yea same when i tried

[light mauve]

What a fuzzy game

But dx10 works

[scenic yacht]

hopefully it gets fixed. although the game still runs for me, it takes like 8 damn minutes to load the game. if it doesn't crash that is

[tropic orbit]

Is it normal to have BaS icons missing

[light mauve]

No

[scenic yacht]

yea that's not normal haha

[light mauve]

Your texture need to be above 50%

For they can show properly i learned the hard way

[tropic orbit]

Ohhh

[latent otter]

that moment when You set up 4 stashes near Vector at Zaton Water Station go AFK then come back and see that it wasn't considered safe from emissions

[tropic orbit]

Icons still missing

I still maxing the textures later and see if it works

[warped ginkgo]

did you restart the game?

[tame halo]

Okay thanks for the tip with ESC key, looks like issue with it and game pause. Music stopped after i alt tabbed, but not because of alt tab itself but because game somehow got paused after window lost focus.

[north turret]

that's what i figured

i think i saw PAUSE displayed like once in big red

i also play in Borderless

[tame halo]

But its not always pausing after alt tab.

And more weird thing that pressing PAUSE and ESC key at the same time breaks and unbreaks music.

[north turret]

Xray

https://tenor.com/view/magical-magic-gif-13543499

[tame halo]

But that didnt happened to me in vanilla in hundred hours of gameplay

Weird

I will continue trying to figure out what causing this, but atleast now there is a way to get music back without restarting.

[willow hawk]

That's because of an option I set which prevents event timing to break

You cannot have everything...

[tame halo]

So its a known issue? Why its sometimes pausing when out of focus and sometimes not?

[willow hawk]

It's an issue with the new option

you should avoid alt tabbing altogether anyways

Or do it while in the escape menu

[north turret]

I alt tab alot, and it 80% of the time doesn't break Sound

and if it dies it comes back very quickly

[tame halo]

For me it doesnt, but mashing ESC+PAUSE brings back even the same track that was playing.

[tropic orbit]

Im sure I did

Im gonna check again now and see if it still has the issue

Since I restarted my machine

If not I'll send screenshots I guess

[quick cloak]

it's just me or suddenly GAMMA just get a whole lot harder?

like every anomalies kinda oneshot rightnow

[north turret]

this isn't even it's final form

[quick cloak]

there go my Invictus run, again

[north turret]

considering that Invictus let alone Ironman is not actually supposed to be done in Gamma (although i did, with enough sweat and tears) it's not that deep on the soul

[modern fern]

Since the damage revamp did damage with melee weapons get changed as well, asking for my favorite activity ax the giant

[zenith magnet]

Do i need to start a new game when i update?

[rotund moss]

no, just make sure you have the same optional addons check after the update

like if you play with mags redux make sure you recheck it after the update

[zenith magnet]

Thanks

[rare gyro]

Hey guys, what am i supposed to do once i have the monolith shard and strelok and stitch are still following me? Rogue died, i guess that's intended? But no other quest popped up. Don't i have to go to the wish granter or something?

[graceful iron]

none of the story characters is supposed to die

i think the mission fails if one of them dies

[rare gyro]

Oh that sucks a lot

Can't i make him live again and restart the quest via console or something? I didn't pick up that the quest failed and overwrote the save, so i'd have to do all the npp over again and i don't feel like doing it right now

[tropic orbit]

You might be able to summon him again thru debug?

But I'm not sure if thats gonna help at all

[rare gyro]

I'm wondering if i can do that and restart the quest, but i don't know how

[tropic orbit]

If you have debug mode on just press esc then f7

[rare gyro]

I know that, but i don't know what to do next, after getting to the object spawner

[tropic orbit]

I've never tried spawning NPCs before so I'm not an expert but from what I'm seeing in anomaly forums its:

[magic reef]

What do you mean should not be done? I think Grok is playing IM. I am only playing IM

[tropic orbit]

Target a corpse and escape to main menu, then F7 to open the debug menu. At the top left you will see your current target, for example zat_b106_stalker_crab12345, removing the numbers gives you the Character_ID that you will use to respawn them in Object Spawner. You can also use Show Info in the Target Section of the menu.

While you are in the Debug menu, you can get the logic settings using Logic/Execute in the Editor Section, even though they are dead the logic will remain. Once you have all the information you can delete the corpse and respawn them.

[north turret]

Gamma was not intended for IronMan or Invictus run as a baseline

from what i was told anyway

[tropic orbit]

^I just copy pasted this off some guy. Someone correct it if it's wrong please

[magic reef]

Ok. I play most of my games in IM even those who dont have that mode specifically :)

[rare gyro]

@tropic orbit that worked, he spawned back

[tropic orbit]

Neat hopefully that fixes the quest for you

[rare gyro]

@tropic orbit Well i still need to find a way to retrigger the quest

[north turret]

I'm not telling anyone not to. I also play Iron Man and already did the first 'ever' (i'm not sure but it was put in announcements so it must be ) Invictus Run on Gamma, very fun in my opinion.

[magic reef]

Yeah agree. I am not very successfull though with gamma. My proudest IM achievement is ghost of tsushima on hardest diff :)

[north turret]

I played trough Elden Ring and all the other DS games. We are just build different

[fleet grail]

Elden Ring is easy wdym

[north turret]

Offtopic but sure

[graceful iron]

this is #🔨base-gamma-support if you people forgot

[magic reef]

Yeah i forgott. Sorry

[tropic orbit]

I think the update borked something

Gamma just straight up crashes on loading

[graceful iron]

crash log

[fleet grail]

Anyone tested Grok's new ballistic system thingie? is it good?

[tropic orbit]

I will

Check that after my current loading

I removed the 0 core thing hoping the game runs now

[north turret]

it's befitting of the Game, but sometimes a little too hard hitting (literally) - if it was tuned down by like metaphorically speaking 3-4% i think it will be perfect 🤌

in intense Firefights with well geared opposition it can become hard to React to certain situations, more then before anyway

[tropic orbit]

Game not crashing anymore. Gun icons fixed too

Finally can now enjoy gamma

[long grove]

The changes to actor dmg? Yeah, I've tested it quickly with starting gear on Hard diff. It's hard but fair.

[fleet grail]

Monolit and exoskele people in Cordon, whats broken now

[wraith token]

Anyone ever have a stash you placed just disappear? Like it was there, i filled it with stuff. Saved my game some time after. Loaded in today and went to my stashes, one of them completely gone.

[knotty quartz]

Running the latest updates I've noticed I'm not bleeding from damage.

Is this intentional?

[north turret]

How can i fix that shadow on the left side, on the hill ? It moves based on the camera angle.

[graceful iron]

i think i seen people mention it just cant be fixed

try with shadow settings in game though

[north turret]

I remember this bug in SoC could be fixed with the sun_near cmd or something, no idea if it's the same bug but yeah, too bad, but thankfully it's not too too distracting

[edgy echo]

x-ray engine limitations

the sun_near command was a thing on older stalkers but I believe it is already set correctly in Anomaly, you can try to play with it though

[north turret]

Yeah sadly, i did by the way and it changes nothing :c

I'll live with it, just wanted to know if there was a fix 🙂

[edgy echo]

I just learned to not pay attention to these lol

[north turret]

As with a lot of things in stalker

Another question, am i supposed to be headshotted from 100 meters away while i'm running

[rotund moss]

do you have Hardcore AI aim active?

if yes, then yes

if no, then this happens anyway from time to time

[calm tangle]

AI have a better time hitting your head when there shooting up at you as well. in my experience.

[polar gale]

does anyone know if i can have multiple characters at the same time and if i can how do i do so?

[rotund moss]

Save the game and Name the Save according to your Char and his Faction?

or do you mean that they "share" a stash or something?

[polar gale]

Well I just finished the main story as a loner and wanna start a new one

How do I do that without losing my current save

[rotund moss]

Like go to a place you can save

Hit ESC

go to "save game"

write what ever you need to remember what char that is

and save

[polar gale]

And it will stay after I start a new game?

[rotund moss]

since quicksaves get overritten, and i think thats the thing you are concerned about?

[polar gale]

Yes

[rotund moss]

yeah well if you save "normal" it will stay

[polar gale]

What if I save like 5 times and lose hours of progress

[rotund moss]

unless you overwrite that save somehow

[polar gale]

Wdym If I save normal?

[rotund moss]

how do you save atm?

[delicate wharf]

Do you only quick save?

[polar gale]

I just press f5

[delicate wharf]

You can just hit esc and save which creates a normal save not a quick one

[rotund moss]

then try pressing ESC and select "save game"

which will not be overwriten by anything but you

[polar gale]

So I'd I so that and create a new game will my character stay?

Ok

[rotund moss]

yes just name it accordingly

[polar gale]

Any name of a specific name?

[delicate wharf]

Yes that save that you create - just call it something you will remember, stays permanently

[polar gale]

Oh ok

[delicate wharf]

just name it anything you will remember

so you can find that save again if you want to laod it

[polar gale]

Thank you guys so much I was lost looking for an answer for hours

[delicate wharf]

Can always test it out by making that save, creating a new character and then reloading the old one if you are concerned

[slow fox]

Hi, general question, Im in my hobo phase in my Sin playthrough. With the current changes to how damage works im concerned for my survival. Rads are a big pain already. Should i update or wait till we get it balanced

[rotund moss]

is it an Hardcore run?

if yes well nothing that makes you concerned feels good in a hardcore run

if no: honestly everything you survive now, you will most likely survive later on as well, as in push towards a good mask for now

[slow fox]

Hardcore meaning ironman? Then no

Im in Pripyat atm and already realised my mistake

[rotund moss]

yeah no dont go there, dragons live there

[slow fox]

The thing is the quests are mostly there lol

I guess im gonna have to learn to love the red forest

[rotund moss]

i smell heresy but you do you mate xD

[slow fox]

No no, its not like I want to

But where else can i really go?

Took me a good hour to get out or the mines in red forest cause there were too many stalkers

[tidal raft]

Where the heck do I set up a tent to sleep in Rostok—while incognito?

[rotund moss]

inside the bar is usually a good place

but no you might want to check one of the roofs

[tidal raft]

[ornate salmon]

hmmmm...does gamma have dltx and its addons? im currently researching this modpack more

[tidal raft]

Yes. See #❗welcome.

[ornate salmon]

by dltx's addons i mostly mean the misc weapons pack and simple weapons pack for it

[tidal raft]

Probably not. I don't even know what those are.

[ornate salmon]

oh

basically just a whole lot of new weapons

compatible with BaS and other things

tried it on efp modpack and it aint working

gamma is friendly towards other mods that you add in, right?

[tidal raft]

That depends heavily on a bunch of different factors.
Especially when it comes around to adding new weapons.
I'd say 'No, not without a bunch of patching to make sure they play nice with WPO, and Balanced Overhaul Of Ballistics System.'

[ornate salmon]

theres compatibility patches for BaS and mags redux, but i already know the issue from trying to add them to efp

it is the fact that it has very heavy conflicts with

mods that change the loadouts and gear of enemy npcs

such as rebalanced npc loadouts or whatever it was called

is that in gamma?

[tidal raft]

Gamma has its own Loadouts modification. See #❗welcome.

[whole pewter]

As long as you know how to debug potential conflicts and their causes... and that is not always easy.
Consider the sheer amount of mods in Gamma, and that each mod changes something from vanilla, the amount of scripts,config files, textures, shaders, logic, etc etc. So, adding one mod that a "geek" has not debugged for compatibility could give you large headaches.

[ornate salmon]

the modlist.txt?

[ornate salmon]

im scrolling through it pretty quick cuz most of this is in efp too

[tidal raft]

Yes. ✅

Scrolling through "pretty quick" will cause you to miss out on the new additions.

[ornate salmon]

i know some of them from videos and other people telling me about them

but im just scrolling up and down whilst looking at what is added

[ornate salmon]

yeah im used to that, its fine, but in efp it was just too hard and annoying

[pliant garnet]

anybody know if armor attachments are supposed to lose durability ? been in a few fire fights and my suit took damage but the kevlar still 100%

[ornate salmon]

for reference, been modding skyrim and fnv for years with over 600 mods, but stalker is also something i didnt mod before

but yeah, i added several new things on top of efp too

[whole pewter]

Yup, some of us like the geeky effort of tracking issues, and some prefer a "already done" approach 🙂

[ornate salmon]

such as ghillie suit overhaul, shader based scopes, dynamic mutants, etc

[calm tangle]

What is the mod that causes you to switch to your Pistol after skinning a mutant, putting away PDA, etc?

is it 136 - previous weapon is automatically pulled after closing PDA

[ornate salmon]

sounds like it

[pliant garnet]

i think its a known issue and being looked at

[tidal raft]

If you're looking for specific mods you can Ctrl+F inside the modlist.txt document to find it.

[ornate salmon]

yeah thats what ive been doing

looking for some specific ones

but do you by chance know what the.....the uhhh

[ornate salmon]

this

the name of this, do you know it?

[whole pewter]

I think you'll find that was something Grok added to one of his Gamma changes, rather than anything on moddb. I believe, but I may be wrong, it was something he put in FDDA rework, which is currently disabled pending his overhaul.

[graceful iron]

they dont lose durability, probably since they cant be repaired

[tidal raft]

Did you search for "Loadout"?

[pliant garnet]

ah ok thank you

[ornate salmon]

oh ok nvm i found it, thanks

[calm tangle]

also, is there a way to load different shells into a shotgun? I know you can do it by running out of slugs, and your character will fill the rest with whatever else you have.

but wb manually?

[delicate wharf]

y lets you change ammo on any gun

[graceful iron]

probably no way to do that in anomaly, probably some mod out there does it tho

[calm tangle]

Yes, but you start from 0.

[graceful iron]

changing ammo with y will replace all shells

[calm tangle]

Can't mix buckshot with slugs.

[calm tangle]

Let's hope so 🙏

[delicate wharf]

oh you meant load a mix

[graceful iron]

but why are you trying to do that

[delicate wharf]

without mags you can't do it

but yea its just a terrible idea lmao

[calm tangle]

Not sure, but it was bugging me a bit ago, so i'm sure I had some sort of reason.

[graceful iron]

ah yes, i wanted to do something but i cant remember why

[calm tangle]

I was fighting dogs and a couple dudes, and I remember it was bothering me, that I needed to keep switching ammo for the dogs and the dudes.

I had to use AP for the dudes, and didn't want to waste on the dogs.

[graceful iron]

switching to your secondary is faster than reloading

[calm tangle]

not good pistol 😦

broken barrel

[whole pewter]

I have 3 weaps set. Main for anti stalkers, secondary for long range, and pistol with .45 Hydros for mutants. Then if all fails, grenades.

pistol in top slot, obvs...

[calm tangle]

well, this is still near beginning, so, not everything I have is 100% condition yet.

[delicate wharf]

What animations is grok talking about in #📢announcements ? Is this an option in mcm? In general settings?

[calm tangle]

Its "]"

[brisk zinc]

Or "+"

[calm tangle]

Its the vanilla "animations" for when your character nods his head down, when putting armor on, etc.

[graceful iron]

anything thats not added by fdda

[calm tangle]

Yeah. You still retain all food eating animations, smoking, etc.

but it removes all the vanilla ones.

[delicate wharf]

What do you mean by "]"? As in that is the keybind to disable animations?

seems like a weird keybind lmao

[calm tangle]

Yea, its the key-bind to disable.

Well, its an out of the way keybind, cause you won't be pressing it that much.

or at all, depending on preference.

[delicate wharf]

lmao just weird that it would be a keybind instead of a setting but thanks!

[calm tangle]

True tbh.

[graceful iron]

it has a setting, in game settings but the keybind is for "quick access" to it

[brisk zinc]

Stupid question I know, what faction is this?

[graceful iron]

clearsky

[brisk zinc]

[graceful iron]

what?

[brisk zinc]

They are my enemy right? (I'm Military)

[graceful iron]

yes

[brisk zinc]

Well look again

[graceful iron]

is he the only one?

he is stuck in the animation, it happens

save/load and he will be shooting you like normal

[brisk zinc]

Good to know

This is a new anomaly right?

[graceful iron]

first time i see it so i am sure it is new

[bright seal]

I seem to be getting a consistant CTD during an psystorm

[graceful iron]

crash log ?

[wise sparrow]

There's entries in the guide section of the PDA for the new anomalies in DAO.

[ornate salmon]

is lootboxes safe to add on top of gamma?

[graceful iron]

can break the gamma progression and economy but i think some people added it to gamma so it should work

[runic plume]

quick question , i have 274 mods active , do i need to disable something?

[soft leaf]

will a desolation port eventually be a thing?

[graceful iron]

no, that should be the correct amount of mods

if you had any optional or extra mods enabled before updating make sure to enable them again, so if you had mags redux enabled just tick it in the mod list

[runic plume]

nah i haven't added anything

[mental bison]

Hello stalkers, how to heal limb damage?

I heard something about immobolizing splint or something for the legs, i just do not know where to get such items

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual , there is no such splints in gamma

first aid (yellow dots) and then use a post heal (white dots) , for example medkits and then a yadulin

[mental bison]

I've been horrendously misled then, a million thanks to you stalker.

[humble bronze]

Does anyone know why pressing ALT causes the game to stutter on keydown and keyup?

[desert robin]

What's with an item that has x uses, and then another that has y uses stacked on eachother? Shouldnt they just have a combined z uses?

Minor thing but its so jarring. "Oh cool i have 2 of this item, 1 has 1 use the other has 5" like no, why not just 1 with 6 uses? Surely thats not impossible? O.o

[soft leaf]

whenever i'm in a safe spot i do combine all on everything i know is multiuse

i haven't run into a single crash that mo2 warns about

[desert robin]

Where is the animations setting Grok is talking about in announcements?

[soft leaf]

player options

[desert robin]

Item usage animations? Item swap animations? Both?

[soft leaf]

yeah those

[gusty kestrel]

Hey so Im doing the quest where you get the laptop and find the artifacts in the anomalies. Cant find the one in the dog mincer anomaly. Any idea why?

[humble bronze]

For anyone else with this issue, it's solved by opening the inventory and moving your cursor to an empty space. I suspect it has something to do with the "show restored stats" function of the ALT key

[calm tangle]

What is Item swap animations anyway?

[tidal raft]

Animations for swapping items.

[calm tangle]

I don't really get what that means.

like, swapping between weapons still plays the pull-out animation, when does a swapping item anim play.

[tidal raft]

Changing backpacks, outfits, etc.

[calm tangle]

Those seem to be covered by Item usage animations, i've never had swap anims turned off.

[desert robin]

Where do you get telescopic mirrors from?

[delicate wharf]

randomly on stalkers/stashes/boxes you smash open

[light mauve]

What Faction has good starting weapons to steal or kill from

[delicate wharf]

Depends on what ammo types you have easy access to in your traders and what your starting loadout is

finding something like a sks tactical or slightly worse sks would be big for example in the hobo phase

any shotgun if you don't have one etc

[light mauve]

How about a M4

[delicate wharf]

the m4 tactical is very good, repairable with an army kit so adv tools at the latest

its pretty common to find on freedom and monolith

also mercs

[delicate wharf]

better m4 variants like butcher and hera (not sure on name but its the super expensive one you will know when you see it) are rarer but I think currently all m4 variants use rifle repair kit so they are all good options if you get one

same factions just higher level members

[light mauve]

You need to have a specific rep for they could spawn or they have them normally

[delicate wharf]

they can spawn on enemies at any time, your scavenging skill can cause certain high end stuff to be rarer to actually loot from bodies if its really low but you will still find them

your rep with your faction mainly determines what ammo you have easy access to

if you don't have access to 5.56 its not a big deal though as breaking down 5.45 and 7.62 lets you craft plenty

[light mauve]

Hm so if I find a M4 I might not get the ammo for it

Ah ok ill break down ammo for it then

[delicate wharf]

if you get rep with clear sky/mercs/freedom you can just buy it without problems but if you don't then yea crafting should be fine

just always grab the main rifle ammo types from enemies and disassemble the ones you don't need to craft your chosen caliber

also helps getting the related achievements to get more components/craft for less

[long grove]

can anybody tell me the file that to edit for the camera movement after taking damage?

[wise sparrow]

no idea but you can also reduce it by wearing a helmet with better ballistic protection

not that im going to take off my high end gas mask anytime soon

[supple moat]

GAMMA is compatible with Autumn Season Redux? https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/autumn-season-redux

[long grove]

Might have problems with custom weathers iirc.

and shaders

[supple moat]

[soft leaf]

textures work on their own and weathers too if you apply the vanilla patch included in the mod files

shaders are a no-go it seems

i mean surely you can make them work but you'd have to fiddle with the shader files

[light mauve]

If I install the summer to autumn texture pack do I need to disable something in mod manager

[ember herald]

Depends

Aggressor mod changes ground textures

So if you don't want that just disable it

[light mauve]

Ah ok

Thank you

[hollow apex]

did AEK-973 got removed from GAMMA? me and my dudes can't find any for so long.

[willow hawk]

Just update

Found several already

What was meant with 'removing' animations, what mod or MCM setting would that be?

Ok cool

[light mauve]

Can anyone recommend a texture pack

Thank you

[light mauve]

Do I need to put them in a specific order

[north turret]

Put it at the end of the Load order like in Grok's picture

[scenic yacht]

getting an error when trying to do a complete fresh install for GAMMA now for my ssd

wait let me check first

[graceful iron]

path too long?

[scenic yacht]

ah nvm i'm an idiot. i got blocked on moddb haha for trying to download too many times

gotta wait an hour

my internet died mid way so had to do it all over and it flagged me as bot i assume

[graceful iron]

That's probably why, you can wait for unblock or use a vpn if you have one

[scenic yacht]

I can wait. it was my bad

an hour isn't bad anyhow

[vivid prism]

Is there a way I can return regular jamming and this keybind stuff

[jagged lance]

whats the benefit of giving a trader your craft kits instead of just using them yourself?

[hoary veldt]

The toolkits? They sell the armor and weapon repair kits in their inventory and can perform upgrades on your stuff without the need for the upgrade part

[jagged lance]

apart from the dosh

ah right i forgot they get repair kits

thanks

[hoary veldt]

[willow hawk]

Being able to buy repair kits and improve their stock + upgrades yes

[latent otter]

Where I could get expert tools ? Even in Pripyat I got only drug making kit from green stash

[hoary veldt]

Red Forest and above, you’re just gonna have to keep looking until you hit the right stash

Took me until nearly the end of the main storyline to get mine so don’t be dissuaded if you don’t find them early on at first

[flat folio]

Speaking of, why is there a single recipe to craft a handful of basic kits into an advanced kit?

It's both kinda nonsensical, and kinda odd that it's even an option, all alone

[hoary veldt]

I assume it’s because Advanced kits open a ton of options

You can craft Army Rifle kits, decent backpacks, the Grizzly detector, and so on

Compared to the Expert, which doesn’t unlock as much, the Advanced is much more essential to have

[flat folio]

Sure, but why is it that Advanced Kits, specifically, have a crafting recipe. Which is just four? basic kits. Advanced spawns south of the forest, in plenty enough numbers, it just seems odd.

[graceful iron]

advanced is an option to craft because you need it to progress, locking advanced toolkits behind RNG only can leave you stuck with really bad gear for a really long time

[hoary veldt]

Some people just get unlucky enough to not get an advanced before heading North

[graceful iron]

osmotic already answered your question

[hoary veldt]

I know I had to make my own advanced since I found so many basics in my stashes

[graceful iron]

its 5 basic and 5 scrap, the achievement makes it 4

[flat folio]

Huh, I guess if you don't bother to loot stashes, but I found probably six kits before I even went North.

[hoary veldt]

Well, I loot stashes constantly and never got one until a fair bit after I made my own kit so

[graceful iron]

you are going to regret saying that at some point in your next gamma runs, its completely RNG and one run you are swimming in tools and the next you are not finding a basic one

[hoary veldt]

It’s really RNG dependent and the good gas masks to get past red forest need an advanced to repair

If you’re lucky like Aldourien you can get fuck-easy kits super fast

And if you’re not him then well…

Experiences vary

[north turret]

is it possible, since there are models for certain Nosorogs already but not obtainable to make them obtainable?

so for example, Bandit, Renegade, Sin, Ecologists, Clear Sky Nosorogs are running around if you're lucky but right now they are just normal Exoskeletons from their respective factions

[graceful iron]

but these factions dont even have nosorogs, even in base game

[north turret]

i know but it's super weird to see them isn't it

[graceful iron]

not really

[north turret]

but if they don't have them then why do they have them

[graceful iron]

ask dux?

[north turret]

DUX

[zenith magnet]

quick question: i have a ball, electron and a spike, should i keep them for future's sake? should i sell them?

[graceful iron]

you should keep all artefacts you can, you either use them for fusing (crafting) or use them to charge the artefact melter

[zenith magnet]

gotcha

[graceful iron]

its more useful to craft/repair a really rare and expensive artefact to sell it or use it instead

artefact prices are higher now as well

[zenith magnet]

yeah noticed that, meat chunk+LLMC = 66k+ RU

[graceful iron]

the higher the condition the higher the price to sell or deliver the artefact for a quest

[tender abyss]

it's a pity that money is not much needed in the game

[scenic yacht]

good news installing it fresh on my ssd has reduced the load time to like 15 secs instead of 5 mins

very good

now i can finally play it again without having to schedule when to actually play to account for the load times

[tribal plover]

A stupid question, but:
Saw lockpicks on some gamma stream, which mod adds it? Is it on by default and i'm just haven't found lockpicks\crates yet, or is it off in MO?

[graceful iron]

its not in gamma, its the loot boxes mod

denied because it can break the gamma progression/economy but you can probably use it

[willow hawk]

Until I have time to balance it, it's not in GAMMA by default

[tribal plover]

Ah, i see. Thanks.

Also, i still haven't found a mod that affect BGM after reloading (or more like removes it). Each quicksave i load on level - no more BGM. If you move between areas - BGM works, but after first quickload - gone. I tried disabling soundscape overhaul, did nothing. Any ideas?

[graceful iron]

never noticed that, did you change anything with the modlist or settings before it started happening ?

[tribal plover]

Nope, fresh install - had this issue from the start.

I only nuked shaders and opt-in body dots on map.

[rotund perch]

Is it normal/known for the game to crash after a task? It's a generic task to kill bandits in Garbage, I've done it a few times now and got the same results. The game crashes to desktop as soon as I get the task completed notification.

[graceful iron]

post the log after crashing, its in anomaly/appdata/logs

but never seen such a crash on base gamma

[rotund perch]

Forgive my noobishness, OkCat, is it the text document or the MDMP file you want?

[graceful iron]

the text document

you can drag and drop it here

[graceful iron]

you launched the game after it crashed ? that log has absolutely no crash but it stops after loading the game

[rotund perch]

Yeah I had the game on menu, will I repeat it and send the log if/when it crashes again with game closed?

[graceful iron]

if you launch the game after the crash the log gets overwritten, yes when it crashes post the log right after

[graceful iron]

base gamma with no changes? how many mods are active?

[rotund perch]

I don't believe there are any changes, other than Anomaly settings. I had to change graphic settings etc after I redownloaded the pack instead of updating.
273 mods, Limited Fast Travel is disabled.

[graceful iron]

which quest is it specifically ? and i assume its the only one that causes a crash ? the log does not seem to have much about the quest and looks like its missing something

[rotund perch]

Interdict Enamy Forces in Garbage. Southern, as soon as you enter from Corden. So far this is the only issue I've had.

[graceful iron]

its a military quest ?

[rotund perch]

It was to kill Bandits, not sure who it was given to me by. Though I'm loner, so definitely wasn't Military.

For what it's worth though, emmission seems to have done it for me as I moved up to Rostok. It's completed and game is still going.

I'll chop it up to just being fucky I guess. Thanks for the help though OKCat, I appreciate it!

[ruby rune]

So my uh

First my load order is scrambled and second none of em are enabled

[graceful iron]

do you have the latest installer 3.2 ?

[ruby rune]

There is ANOTHER installer?

Where

[graceful iron]

#old-how-to and please make sure you actually have gammaRC3

[ruby rune]

I have RC3 already just not the new installer -~-

[grave canopy]

which progression difficulty is recommended?

[graceful iron]

you can download the zip file and take only the installer exe from it and replace the old one

[ruby rune]

Thanks

[graceful iron]

once you get used to gamma medium/survivalist is recommended i believe

[graceful iron]

when you get the installer, make sure all the paths and basic installation steps were done correctly in mo2 so it recognizes where the anomaly folder is, delete mods folder and then run the installer as an admin, update gamma data and complete gamma installation and if you have a scrambled load order after that #│🔧troubleshooting scrambled load order fix

[ruby rune]

Well ik the fix

Where do i get the new installer?

Like i don't see anything from the install thingy?

[graceful iron]

#old-how-to

[ruby rune]

A sorry

[graceful iron]

the new installer is also in #📢announcements as only an exe but i am not sure if its the correct one so its just safer to get the one from #old-how-to

[ruby rune]

Alrighf

Where do i find uh

Ah nvm

[molten tartan]

Is there a way to prevent companions to die from blowouts? Even though I'm in a shelter in certain areas all comps except Hip die instantly during a blowout.

[craggy fable]

Is there a way to skip time without sleeping? My char is not tired right now but I don't want to go out into the swamps at night.

[north turret]

Not that i know of, there may or may not be a Mod on Moddb.com for this

you can also change time/weather through Debug Menu. F7>Weather

but it doesn't 'skip' time. It only changes it

[craggy fable]

Ah. Well, I'll figure something out, then. Might look into getting a flashlight in the future, since I forgot one during the loadout selection.

[ocean grotto]

sleeping pills or a joint

[north turret]

'without sleeping'

[ocean grotto]

ahhh yess mb

[north turret]

We know sleeping causes crashes most of the time

[craggy fable]

No, wait, that works.

Thanks, I'll try the pills.

[ocean grotto]

sleeping in your own sleeping bag works

[north turret]

Sleeping Pills are so expensive

[brisk zinc]

Debug mode > a lot of marijuana > sleep
Or sleeping pills

Unfortunately sleeping is the only way to actually pass the time

[craggy fable]

Thanks!

[brisk zinc]

@graceful iron for the future, is there a secure way to just disable sleep entirely?

Like those mods that you can't just touch

[graceful iron]

immersive sleep and its patch and sleep balance mods i believe, i cant remember

[brisk zinc]

Or for example like @craggy fable here asked, if there is a way to just skip time entirely, that would be to sleep without limitations

[ocean grotto]

like a waiting option?

[brisk zinc]

No like, you still need to sleep

Just, without the limit that you need to feel asleep in order to sleep

So yeah basically it became a waiting thing but you still sleep to skip time

Like "you can sleep whenever you want to skip time"

IIRC it actually worked like this before mods

[graceful iron]

there is no waiting option so sleeping is the only way, but without things like vodka or sleeping pills you cant sleep unless the character is tired

[brisk zinc]

...yes

I'm talking without mods

Or it's always been like that?

[graceful iron]

i am almost certain its the mods i mentioned above

[onyx peak]

Does hd models work with this mod pack

[brisk zinc]

#custom-textures

[unborn trench]

I've never played stalker before, and also I'm an inept moron. I can't figure out the key binding to zoom the pda. It's in tiny movement mode and i can't read it

[graceful iron]

zooming in the pda? you can scroll wheel

[brisk zinc]

Not the best decision to play GAMMA

Take your PDA out with TAB, then left click to bring it closer, then use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out

[unborn trench]

I'm playin on easy mode. and thank you

[brisk zinc]

Easy mode will still be hard because that's how Stalker works but yeah it's the best decision
Good luck

[unborn trench]

I killed the boars after only 3 tries lol

[scenic yacht]

I have a mission to turn in a PMM, but I know BaS has one too or something

however it's not the one I need

do the vanilla ones still spawn tho?

[fleet grail]

Yes, they do spawn.

Is complete installation required for the new ballistic system? Dont want to get band from moddb again

[tall stream]

Is it possible to disable body health system to have normal hp bar or adjust it so limbs heal auto after using medkit ?

[scenic yacht]

not sure since it integrates a lot of the items into it, so idk if you can do it safely

the health system hurts unless you have decent armor or a good amount of meds

[unique coral]

It is the best decision, it's what I did.

[graceful iron]

you only need a normal update, #📢announcements

[graceful iron]

you can disable it but at least give it a go and learn it #│📚manual
to disable it you need to disable the health body system and minimalist gamma HUD

[tall stream]

Yea I gave it a go but when my head was quite low using medkits or some med pills didnt increase the bar. It was like temporary bonus

[graceful iron]

because you didnt read #│📚manual

its literally 2 lines

[tropic orbit]

Is it possible to request a fix for the BaS icons?

They dont work when the texture is set to below 50%

[graceful iron]

its not a bas issue

i think grok mentioned he did something to cause this and forgot to fix it or something

[tall stream]

Damn, so much mechanics. I thought medkits should have those post med stuff included

[tropic orbit]

Ahhh

[brisk zinc]

I think some of them does, like the blue and yellow

[tropic orbit]

They don't really affect gameplay in any way it's just weird seeing blank icons

[graceful iron]

read the properties on each med item

[tropic orbit]

Where the guns should be

[graceful iron]

keep texture quality up but lower other things if you are getting low frames

[tropic orbit]

Im already low frames with everything down

30fps the peak of gaming

[bright seal]

Erm my left arm has dissapeared

[north turret]

Oh no

Anyways

[tropic orbit]

Also is it me or are the colors for the army/scientific medical packages swapped

[bright seal]

I am reloading and holding all my guns 1 handed

Kinda chadian if you ask me

[tropic orbit]

Tis just a flesh wound

[graceful iron]

save/load

dont spam animations

[bright seal]

it stays after loading

[graceful iron]

did you disable the shaders and aggressor ?

aka #old-framerate-optimisation

[tropic orbit]

Oh yeah

Dont worry its not the game

Its the machine running it

[bright seal]

equipped my knife and the hand is back

[graceful iron]

dont use quick melee when another animation is running

save/load or use quick melee again to "fix" the one hand disappearing bug

[wraith token]

doing another quick melee always fixes my disappearing hand

[tender tusk]

Who buys artefacts ? I have stone blood but not even the scientist in yantar wants it ?

[scenic yacht]

is it because they're deteriorated?

[graceful iron]

#│📚manual , you have to empower artefacts before selling them

[scenic yacht]

Yea i thought so

[humble bronze]

Is there a point to collecting weapon parts if you can just use the kits to "maintain" and spawn 100% weapon parts? Cause you need the kits to replace them anyways

[rotund moss]

only keep part at minimum 60% (you can repair these with Multitool, Ramrod, or File, check under their details what kind of tool you need)

and sell the stuff below 60%

[graceful iron]

its more cost effective if you replace parts with existing ones, it does not consume repair kit charges

[humble bronze]

oh snap

I feel like a fool, Ive been looking all over for more kits

[rotund moss]

also you use the appropriate CLEANING KIT to maintain

for everyting below dirty you need a repair kit tho

really time for somebody talented with a good mic to make that Tutorial video....

[graceful iron]

[graceful iron]

you can only craft repair kits with toolkits, thats why the progression is locked behind toolkits in the first place

[humble bronze]

nah fam cleaning kits cant maintain

[rotund moss]

i think im studdering :3

[graceful iron]

they can maintain the parts if they are above 60

gun cleaning kits, not the advanced cleaning kit

these

right click and maintain the gun to clean parts if they are dirty

[graceful iron]

get your coffee and get out of here stalker

[rotund moss]

rgr rgr

[paper sable]

I keep wondering,is there a release date for 1.0 yet?

[rotund moss]

not really? end of this month or something iirc

[graceful iron]

nope, when grok is done bug fixing and adding things he plans to add

no estimate

[rotund moss]

ah wait end of month was the estimated date for the new guns

amongst other stuff

[graceful iron]

yes

[craggy fable]

https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/71624

Is there something like this for STALKER: Anomaly? Fancy animations aside, just being able to tell what I have loaded in my pistol makes a huge difference. Used to be on the HUD in the OG games, but it's not there in GAMMA, and it would be nice to have some way of seeing this.

Because I just stuffed a chimera with a few dozen AP rounds — turns out I forgot to switch my pistol to FMJ after fighting with the military. I will never financially recover from this...

[calm tangle]

Ammo Check does.

Though, people will tell you just press R, or press Y and it will tell you what ammo you have loaded in.

But if you want Ammo Check, in the Optional Mods for GAMMA, there is the Magazines mod

If you open the directory, and delete most of the scripts, but keep all the UI / Text stuff, you can delete all Magazines, but keep the Ammo Check function.

Ammo Check will tell you what Anmo Type is loaded in the gun and won’t tell you exactly, but an approximate amount of ammo you have.

[willow hawk]

Everything will be written in kits description soon

[rotund moss]

thanks for the efforts

[tender tusk]

I pick up magazine from enemy and it says that is has old ammo and ammo, when i unload, i cannot see the old ammo in my inventory, where did old ammo go? Does it mix with ammo? Converts to new ammo?

[rotund moss]

converts to new ammo

one to one mind you so you technically get more ammo that way

[ornate salmon]

is RAW (rays of anomalous worlds) compatible with gamma?

[graceful iron]

we have a channel for custom mods and its called #🔨modded-gamma-support probably but not just putting it on the mod list, you will need to disable a few mods that conflict i believe

[ornate salmon]

oh, alright, i just thought this is the universal chat for all that kinds of stuff

but thanks for letting me know

ill sooner or later try it

its a visual mod

lightning and weather

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/raw-rays-of-anomalous-worlds#:~:text=Rays of Anomalous Worlds is,and Reshade-based colour grading. (in case you want to see it for yourself)

[graceful iron]

it was already put in #old-suggest once, no need to put it here again

[ornate salmon]

oh, alright

[craggy fable]

I keep finding completely used-up artefacts. Real radioactive artefacts, like Night Star.

Can I somehow fix them to a 100% state and sell them? Or is this not an option?

[brisk zinc]

Converts to new ammo, GAMMA have a mod for it

[brisk zinc]

Artefact Melter™️

[rotund moss]

go to yantar buy an Artifact Meltor read #│📚manual

in gamma Artifacts are able to make you into a demi god, tho you have to put work into getting there

[craggy fable]

Aha! Knew I was missing something. Thank you.

[sterile cedar]

im guessing disabling dick and fvm mid playthrough in favor of hd models would just brick my saves? right?

[graceful iron]

i think you need a new save, but you can backup the save files and test

[valid spire]

hey im having issues I cant find anyone that sells a fire starter kit or matches

if anyone knows where to find either item efficiently lemme know please

[rotund moss]

every general trader (like Sid, or the trader of duty for example) should sell them

Barmans do not tho

[valid spire]

there not for me for some fuckin reason

got no clue as to why

im at butcher and hes not

[rotund moss]

butcher is not a general trader, butcher is butcher

go to rostok and try it there

[valid spire]

I tried sid

yeah rostok is my next stop

I need to save

[rotund moss]

i have to say tho that sid can be weird for the first few days of a run tho

you can save inside butchers place tho

its classified as sanctuary

[graceful iron]

barkeep and other foods traders sell matches, not sure who sells fire starting kits

[rotund moss]

yantar has then for sure

the fire wood

not sure about the kits right now

[graceful iron]

fire wood is sold by all main traders except ecologists i believe

[rotund moss]

they do have it tho

[graceful iron]

sakharov?

[rotund moss]

yep

[graceful iron]

oke

[summer sandal]

which is more worth it as a starting weapon? sawed off or PPSH?

or rather a backup to the Kar98
