**BEFORE **hitting the button

You'll put that "downloads" folder inside your GAMMA folder

AND THEN you'll hit the button

This way, the installer will grab all the mods it can find inside that "downloads" folder and it will install them

If you don't have something, it will download what you're missing

[willow hawk]

Yup

[slow topaz]

got it

and thx

[willow hawk]

Although if you have fiber in Europe or NA it doesn't matter

Can get everything installed and downloaded in 30 mins

But that's just bad for the environment

Keep that downloads folder

[brisk zinc]

Yeah, that's true, if you have a good internet connection and don't mind the waiting game, you can delete everything just fine

Apart the environment, it's just stupid not do keep that folder

It's a matter of seconds

[slow topaz]

now I see I am severely

[brisk zinc]

I'll add it to #╭📖faq as well

@willow hawk if you're still around

[slow topaz]

noice

[willow hawk]

Check satiety

[solid gazelle]

What graphics settings can I tweak for a bit better visual clarity at distance? Gunfights at more than 50 feet are usually pretty hard trying to spot the enemies in a sea of pixels

[willow hawk]

get a scope ?

[solid gazelle]

I wish there was a way to mount a scope on a PM pistol lol

[willow hawk]

that's the issue with PMs

[latent otter]

Umm is it possible to do hard/survivalist with only PM or PMM ?

[wraith token]

Probably not.

But go for it

I believe in you.

[fringe coral]

Thanks a ton!

[vague siren]

Any know if this is 3440x1440 ultrawide problem or something else?

[tidal raft]

Ultrawide issue.

[tidal raft]

As a starting weapon? Absolutely.
As the only weapon all the way to Operation Afterglow? It's possible.

[vague siren]

I see, thank

[latent otter]

I remember seeing YT videos of people doing the Trilogy with makarov or sawn off , my main concern would be ammo since not many enemies use it and they would also soak a lot of it

[wraith token]

9x18 would tickle many stalkers.

[tidal raft]

They were not playing gamma.

[mortal flame]

well, with 9x18 ap you just shoot like with rifle and fmj - aim for legs or eyes. just a little bit harder...

[ancient hearth]

which living legend quest comes after turning off the brain scorcher? playing as a merc btw

[tidal raft]

Visit beard.

[ancient hearth]

he jsut asks me to clear mutants

[graceful iron]

"you must be beard" or "gatekeeper sends his regards"

he should have these 2 options

[ancient hearth]

neither show up for me

[mortal flame]

you did earlier quests starting from meeting doc in swamps, right?

[graceful iron]

you followed the questline from the start? what does the quest log say in the pda?

[mortal flame]

or just went straight to disable brainwashing thing

[ancient hearth]

i remember doing a few but not all of them leading up to the brain scorcher

[mortal flame]

well, you have to do it then

[ancient hearth]

yeah the thing is i have no living legend quests that i can even set as active

[mortal flame]

huh?

[graceful iron]

wat

did you take the quest from dushman to find strelok ?

[ancient hearth]

yeah a while ago

shits fucked mate

[mortal flame]

maybe you killed gatekeeper somehow

[graceful iron]

open your pda and look for living legend in the quest log

[mortal flame]

he's free stalker as i remember, so it's somehow possible...

[graceful iron]

what does it say ?

[ancient hearth]

which section of the PDA can i find the whole quest log?

[mortal flame]

the gold ones

[woeful finch]

there's supposed to be a stash, am I blind or is it bugged? also searched the area but couldn't find anything

[woeful finch]

description only says "Stash"

[grave canopy]

any way to collect loot from the border of radar in army warehouses?

i just cant go there without changing to radar

[mortal flame]

well, you cant

[graceful iron]

maybe freecam ? not sure if that would work

[grave canopy]

i get teleportet to radar

[graceful iron]

then you cant

[mortal flame]

actually i started to think about armor cap that grok someday mentioned, it's just the full bar in stats or even more that we cant directly see?

[woeful finch]

also: can I get rid of companions other than "Wait here"?

[willow hawk]

reinstall addon 100 with 21:9 res textures

[desert robin]

Grok what do the modded exes do?

[delicate wharf]

if thats the north of cordon its probably a backpack right behind the fence
ok I zoomed in thats it for sure. Can be tricky to reach but low crouch and the right distance will do it

[north turret]

hey guys is there a way to make all outfits have fingers?

[ancient hearth]

ok i think im on the right track now, but where do i find stitch?

fuck i haven't even "found" strelok yet lol

[late herald]

anyone knows where to find this sample for the quest ?

[graceful iron]

underground

[ancient hearth]

nvm bros. i figured it out thanks to this thread here:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/forum/thread/living-legend-call-from-the-north-quest-failedrc22

[late herald]

thx

[lapis silo]

Ha, I made a post on that thread

[ancient hearth]

yeah i had a feeling i was gonna have to dig deep on moddb for the fix

thats what i get for dicking around for 20 hours grinding goodwill and tearing shit up with no regard

[vague siren]

Will do, cheers for reply

[woeful finch]

thank you, will give that a shot

[delicate wharf]

I think its by/underneath that bush on the other side of the fence in your screenshot if that helps

[quiet willow]

Can I somehow increase the scrolling power in inventories & trading ?

[tidal raft]

Yeah, by not alt+tab'ing while in inventory.

[woeful finch]

yeah, it is indeed there, but holy how am I supposed to reach there?

[half tendon]

whats the mod that make the zones that populated? on vanilla anomaly i dont remember see all that people around in every zone

[north turret]

Black command line window displayed these errors when doing a complete install today. Is this normal?

[delicate wharf]

Low crouching and just getting close to the fence should be enough. If you see the interaction text pop up but can't press it you can try switching to toggle crouch in options that can help

I have never had problems with that stash but other people have so its not just you

[woeful finch]

yeah, I tried for a couple minutes with all the angles and dangles, even managed to get on the fence but to no avail.

[wise sparrow]

i've only gotten that stash by clipping though to the other side of the fence in debug mode

[delicate wharf]

one thing to check is your fov

if its too high it pushes your view back in a weird way that can make it harder

[woeful finch]

will give that a shot tomorrow, for now I'm busy replaying a huge part because apperently I lost my mind and ?shot myself?

[jagged lance]

you took too much psy damage

[sour nebula]

are any weapon parts below 60% worth keeping? or are they just for selling?

[summer sandal]

depends, like with handguns, smgs, you can repair them directly with handgun repair kit, once you have basic tools, you can craft historic weapon repair kits, which can repair shotguns, and ww2 historic rifles

also if the barrel of whatever gun is above 60 you can swap out the parts and get a functional gun, just keep in mind you can't clean the barrel if it's attached and if you take it out without a repair kit it disassembles it destroying it in the process

why aren't glowsticks spawning in inventory anymore?

[paper sable]

how do i get to this stash in between rocks

ca't post the exact stash location because the bot thinks it's "explicit content"

[brisk zinc]

I think I know where it is, Darkscape

Have you tried from above? Try low crouching

I'm going there, give me a minute

[paper sable]

i tried,ther's an opening from above but can't seem to fall in

like it's an invisible barrier

[brisk zinc]

It's because you can't fall in

You need to go from here, there is a hole

Low crouch and go forward, you'll find it

[paper sable]

I see now

Hold on in my playthrough it's a blue box not a backpack are the models randomized?

[brisk zinc]

Good question, don't know about that

I don't have the stash on my save

It could be that as well

[paper sable]

Probably,thank for the help

[slow fox]

Need some suggestions, I want to start a new run and debating which faction to choose. Lately Ive been playing as Sin and UNISG and enjoyed the “you vs everyone” vibe. Whod you recommend?

[brisk zinc]

Military if you want another "you vs everyone"

[slow fox]

I gotta say I enjoyed that vibe more than i though I would

Its actually really fun

[granite quarry]

Does anyone know how to do this quest in the ClearSky faction?
I see no markers on the PDA for it, the description itself is a bit confusing since it cant decide where the quest is. Also i was around where it tells me the stuff should be, and have no clue what a "Archieanomaly" looks like. Is this a bug and i should restart my progress? Thank you anyway.

[graceful iron]

#╭📖faq

[granite quarry]

Thank you! @graceful iron

Found it C:

[slow fox]

Does Axe loose damage if its condition is worse than 100%?

[willow hawk]

nope

[nocturne halo]

For an existing merc playthrough, how do I switch the voicelines or should it be automatic? i still have the other voiced actor

[willow hawk]

It's automatic

[nocturne halo]

Oh, okay something was scuffed with my update, Companion wheel voices are still in Russian

[north turret]

What's the deafult emission frequency?

[north turret]

That was quick

[graceful iron]

[ancient ruin]

whats peoples general opinion on 2d vs 3d scopes?

[willow hawk]

2d scopes are better imo

[plush wharf]

is it normal for the drop item mcm keybind to work with shift and ctrl but not other keys?

[willow hawk]

XRay magic

some keys are disabled by the engine while in the inventory

[plush wharf]

ah thats unfortunate

[ornate salmon]

any way to update the modpack whilst keeping my custom mods on and also various MCM settings the way they are?

[ornate salmon]

(i edited some)

[willow hawk]

Read G.A.M.M.A. MCM addon name and be amazed

[ornate salmon]

i think you told me this the last time but i didnt get what i needed to do

[willow hawk]

For real ?

[ornate salmon]

damn

[willow hawk]

tick it after updating

[ornate salmon]

so i just rename it, update and then tick it?

[willow hawk]

Yes

[ornate salmon]

untick it now, rename it and then tick it after updating

gotcha

thanks once again

[acoustic timber]

help

I cant enter cordon cause it crashes

theres this further up as well

if i try to fast travel to a place, this happens

[keen shard]

Hi everyone, I'm having trouble adding a little addon to this amazing modpack. This one -> https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/focus-zoom
I'm getting a crash to desktop while loading a game, even a new one. I'm new to the Stalker modding so I probably lack the basics. Any tips ?

Edit : everything is fine now. I disabled an essential addon by mistake. The mod I linked works perfectly, my bad

[hoary veldt]

Wait, doesn't this already exist in the modpack?

[brisk zinc]

We basically have the same thing, yes, without the stamina cost

[hoary veldt]

[graceful iron]

its not the same, and no its not in the modpack

[brisk zinc]

not the same
How, it's zoom without using a weapon, it's the same in my book

[graceful iron]

please use #🔨modded-gamma-support when you are trying to add extra addons to the pack

[dire garnet]

How do you get more "gamma" for a given weather without changing the global gamma setting ?

[runic plume]

crash on startup after update , any idea how to fix it?

[graceful iron]

how many addons are active?

[runic plume]

274

no optional ones turned on

[willow hawk]

Not the same code

[graceful iron]

you added texture addons added from #custom-textures ? did you enable them after updating ?

[brisk zinc]

Yeah of course it's not the same mod, I'm talking about the functionality

[runic plume]

i did add one but it didn't work so i just disabled it

and it was fine afterwards

[graceful iron]

you have one extra addon

the number should be 273

[runic plume]

idk lemme check\

[graceful iron]

#│🔧troubleshooting scrambled load order fix if you dont know whats the extra addon

[willow hawk]

I added one this morning

[graceful iron]

but i updated literally a few hours ago, i have 273 addons

okay, so it should be 274 now

[brisk zinc]

Yes it's 274

[graceful iron]

what could be causing that error above then i have never seen it before

[brisk zinc]

It's talking about something related to drop items

[error]Expression : false

[ruby rune]

Gato, imagine someone actually trolling with an addon and then when u click it you would like, get hacked

I'm just saying, don't trust anyone-

[brisk zinc]

What

[ruby rune]

Just came into my mind

[brisk zinc]

Okay

[runic plume]

did that , still crashes

[ruby rune]

Like if they were actually smart enough to do it actually 💀

Anyway i shouldn't chat here

[brisk zinc]

@runic plume send your mod list #╭📖faq

No better yet

You have some red crosses?

[brisk zinc]

I still think this is the problem

I think you're missing a file that goes in here

[runic plume]

i dont have any red crosses

[brisk zinc]

Check if you have this file in that mod

[runic plume]

i played , saw there was an update , updated and then crash on startup

[runic plume]

one sec

is that it?

[ruby rune]

Pov: me after every update

[brisk zinc]

You need to select the mod

[runic plume]

which mod

[brisk zinc]

[runic plume]

mb

xd

[brisk zinc]

Select that mod, right click, Information, Filetree

[graceful iron]

i didnt know that existed

[brisk zinc]

You need to step up your MO2 game

[graceful iron]

i am learning from falco now

[runic plume]

thats what pops up when i press info

[brisk zinc]

Sometimes I believe that the whole server want to troll me

I even take the time to make screenshots because I already see the next question "where??? I don't see it!!!"

You need to click on "Filetree"...

[runic plume]

idk if its that

i dont see any "Filetree"

[brisk zinc]

My man 🤝

Are you for real

[brisk zinc]

Go back here, it's the right location

[runic plume]

?

[brisk zinc]

Like for real

It's there

[brisk zinc]

^

[runic plume]

this?

[brisk zinc]

Yes, this

Finally

Open that .xml file, you can use Notepad

Check if you have something inside

[runic plume]

gives me an error , says i need an app to open it

...

[brisk zinc]

.

[runic plume]

it doesnt pop up as an option

[brisk zinc]

It will open the mod folder

[runic plume]

its empty\

[brisk zinc]

It's right there, don't tell me you don't see it

[brisk zinc]

What

The folder? The file?

[runic plume]

the file

[brisk zinc]

Oooh okay

Let's try this way

I'll send you the file

Save it

Put it in your folder

Close MO2

Open it again

Launch the game

Let me know

[runic plume]

aight

[brisk zinc]

Yeee it's working

[runic plume]

yeah i just loaded a save to make sure

thanks man

[brisk zinc]

#💰donations

[runic plume]

lemme go get my mum's purse

[grave canopy]

Why do my companions keep reloading as if their gun is jamming

[north turret]

because their guns CAN jam @grave canopy

there is a Mod on Moddb somewhere that disables this

[grave canopy]

so they need to have fully working guns just like me

[north turret]

Yes

[quiet isle]

is there something i am missing, i go the change map and once i arrive at the normal transition arrow the screed fade black for a few second but i do not change area, i just stay there

[hoary veldt]

Save and Reload

[quiet isle]

i am trying to go from rostock to truck cimetary

save and relaod didnt work

i hit an invisible wall

if i try to go to garbage it work, well i get a black screen and nothing happen but if i continu walking a little i get a map transition

i was able to go to army warehouse but from then same problem, cant travel to the truck cimetary

[graceful iron]

screen fades to black but no transition ? and save /load didnt help ?

[quiet isle]

the transition does not happen on fade, i need to continu walking to trigger the transition. i was able to travel from rostock to garbage and army warehouse like that

[graceful iron]

that shouldnt be the case

[quiet isle]

but from rostok to truck cimetary the is black fade but no transition

[tidal raft]

Restart the game.

[quiet isle]

same at army warehouse

look like a restart helped

how to fix broke icons

fresh install

[graceful iron]

#📢announcements pinned message there is a fix for icons, or you can increase texture quality in game settings

[jolly garnet]

274 active mods how it supposed to be

[graceful iron]

#📢announcements message

[jolly garnet]

thanks a lot!

[keen rover]

I dont have any dialog about psy helmet available with Sakharov, yet I need it to go past Red Forest, was the way of obtaining it changed in GAMMA somehow?

[pseudo harness]

no, it should work as usual - you come to Sakharov, choose either prototype or calibrated version on which you have to wait, you pay cash in front and done

[keen rover]

Well, seems like something is wrong then. And I'm kinda sure that I did not have that dialog option since like day 5 that I first visited Yantar

Unless I'm missing something

[graceful iron]

what faction are you? and is this story mode ?

[pseudo harness]

ok, no idea 😄 perhaps one thing, are you playing as which faction?

perhaps it might be softlocked behind story mode quests

[ornate salmon]

pretty sure it is

[keen rover]

Loner, story mode is not enabled

Never had that problem in base Anomaly, but some googling revealed that it might be a rare Anomaly bug, idk

[wraith token]

You're better off turning on debug mode and giving yourself a psyhelm. Unless you're okay with starting a new save.

[keen rover]

Yeah, seems like it, thanks

[jolly garnet]

on which button DayZ-like zoom ?

can't find in control settings..

is it in Mod Loader?

find, its H

xD

[pseudo harness]

another gameplay question - I see that few people got Spartan helmet aaaaand I haven't found it yet, are there specific factions wearing it? I only found ranger gas mask
also - is it better than Exohelm?

[graceful iron]

its called freezoom, you can bind most mod keybinds in the mcm

[graceful iron]

the spartan is basically the best helmet (lacks a little bit of rad res that the ranger has) but its the rarest as well, only nosorog stalkers wear it and there is a low chance for it to drop

[pseudo harness]

yup, thanks 🙂

[bleak plank]

I finished the main install just now

should I just close the installer?

[brisk zinc]

Yes

[bleak plank]

or what is the add-ons?

install

[brisk zinc]

Take a screen of the installer

[brisk zinc]

The installer literally tells you what you need to do

For the second thing

#╭📖faq

Like the first post

[bleak plank]

okay okay I just asking what that addons button does

[brisk zinc]

Again, #╭📖faq, we have that channel for this kind of questions

[bleak plank]

got ya sorry

just saw

that part

thank you

[brisk zinc]

It's all good, don't worry

If you have any problems with the installer ask in #old-only-installer-support

[narrow tangle]

the whole clip in the head with a shaft BCC -2% of everything, is this such a hard imbalance ? SVD in the head 0% damage is it like? What to turn off ? What mod ?

[tidal raft]

Don't use broken weapons. #│📚manual

[willow hawk]

MCM menu you can configure it

[narrow tangle]

weapons 100%

[narrow tangle]

in which tab ?

[tidal raft]

Your weapon parts are broken. See "Details.." page.

[narrow tangle]

maybe some mod can be disabled ?

[narrow tangle]

I'll watch it now

[sudden shuttle]

i think it's part of gboobs

[tidal raft]

Disabling the weapon parts add-on will cause issues. You'll have to deactivate a lot of add-ons that make this modpack work properly.

No, it isn't directly from GBOOBS. They are depending on each other though.

[narrow tangle]

I understood

[soft root]

does anyone know where is the loot in garbage

the message that says 221 mhz southwest of garbage

[soft root]

I am there but still can't find the package even though I found the spot

[wraith token]

Check bushes. Underneath stuff. Etc.

[willow hawk]

@narrow tangle this details the effect of Barrel condition on damage and penetration

[soft root]

ah found it

thanks

[narrow tangle]

I'll think about it. Thanks !!

[pseudo harness]

is my game fugged? when Eidolon drops Volat Emerald, it is 100% condition, but when I move it to my inventory, it has 14%.... someone told me that this was fixed long time ago
plus similar thing - when I attach any artefact into AAM/similar device, that artefact randomises its condition (example - I "repaired" ring to 100% condition and when I got it in AAM, it went to 17% condition)

[strong wraith]

Do missions more up-north (Zaton etc) give more cash than others in Army Warehouse etc or nah? Also what area do Expert Tools start dropping in?

[tidal raft]

Did you update recently?

[pseudo harness]

pretty much every day

[willow hawk]

Not a bug it's a feature

You aren't supposed to find 100% protective artefacts

All 100% non junk artefacts are randomized

Only 99% aren't

[tidal raft]

(example - I "repaired" ring to 100% condition and when I got it in AAM, it went to 17% condition)

[willow hawk]

You cannot "repair" to 100%

Unless you used a mechanic

Which cannot do currently anywyas

So just update

As Aldourien said

[pseudo harness]

ok, got it 🙂 thanks for answers

[graceful iron]

ring can not be put in AAM either your example does not make any sense

its a junk artefact

[hoary veldt]

Ring isn't a junk arti though

[brisk zinc]

[narrow tangle]

everything is so the weapon is 100% repaired and the barrel is only % !! 2

[pseudo harness]

you have to change barrel through tools and kits with spare parts

[graceful iron]

sorry, i think i was thinking of magnet since it looks a bit like a ring ?

[willow hawk]

2% barrel = unusable

[graceful iron]

the barrel affects damage while the rest of the parts affect jamming chance

[willow hawk]

Still repaired a ak74m beard within 10h on my first day as a Merc

[pseudo harness]

my pistol has 91% condition, but it has broken parts, so it is unusable = I have to change parts with tools and repair kits

[willow hawk]

And just dropped a usable SKS tac

[pseudo harness]

I like going to Limansk as merc, since its free loot for me

[willow hawk]

I do and I kill the Monoliths with 9x18ap

Mercs are the funniest

[ornate salmon]

tactical question, 10 br + AP = dead

right?

[jolly garnet]

guys is anybody know how to disable grain effect? This black little dots which randomly start to running on monitor trough the gameplay

[tidal raft]

It's a radioactive area. In game design it is called a 'visual cue'.

[jolly garnet]

oh, okay, thx

which button helps to hold a breath?

while scoping/zooming

[graceful iron]

you cant, make sure your arms arent damaged or aiming down sights sways a lot

[tidal raft]

I don't know why people come here thinking this is Call of Duty.

[thin kernel]

Hey, I play as Clear Sky and Old Clear Sky base and watchtower locations seem to be in heavy radiation pockets. is this expected or it's some mod that causes it?

[tidal raft]

Dynamic Anomalies Overhaul.

[graceful iron]

the radiation is intended, you need to start with the gasmask and you need to use anti radiation items to your advantage

[paper sable]

Big question,can the dynamic relations be disabled mid playthrough without running into any issues? Someone said it's fun but it can get annoying

[ornate salmon]

youd be surprised how many people playing stalker or modpacks like this come from other casual shooters

but i think you already know that

[graceful iron]

people didnt play any of the originals, or watched a video making them look like a literal meme

[ornate salmon]

ive done it and havent seen many issues

but i play with it on rn

it might just freeze the relations as they are after playing with them on dynamic

but then again i cant be too sure, since i havent paid attention to the relations tab when playing with them off

[ornate salmon]

from another server (about stalker anomaly and efp modpack)

covered the name for obvious reasons since i still respect a rando's privacy

[graceful iron]

its sad to see this, just dont play stalker if you dont want to play stalker

[ornate salmon]

ahhahaaha

idk man

but yeah

it is what it is

goddammit man

[graceful iron]

you can keep posting this in #╓☢stalker-chat or even #🎪bruh-fart because this is almost funny

[tidal raft]

Yes, it's a rhetorical question.

[ornate salmon]

as you wish, my friend

but ill always cover names

[thin kernel]

Ok, thanks. NPCs chilling there still kinda throw me off

[tidal raft]

They hydrate a lot.

[ornate salmon]

theyre also trained in the art of breaking the laws of physics and dodging anomalies whilst also walking into them

[thin kernel]

Speaking of which, I think I saw someone mentioning an addon which enables damage to NPCs that walk into anomalies. how many missions would become broken lol

[graceful iron]

yes it can basically break the whole game

[thin kernel]

would be neat in warfare, I think

[nocturne halo]

Is there any use for powder cans besides eating up 2kg?
Tried using them as a trap but they don't explode when you shoot them or throw grenades at them and can't dismantle them either, not used in crafting AFAIK

[graceful iron]

they have no use

[nocturne halo]

damn, i was really hoping to use these for something
https://i.imgur.com/3WITMFV.jpeg

[delicate wharf]

they may be the biggest troll item you can find tbh. So heavy and totally worthless lmao

[graceful iron]

you can sell them to butcher for 200 each

[tidal raft]

It would be nice if you could disassemble them for propellant.

[nocturne halo]

Grok should make them weigh 50kg each so i never use Shift+T on a corpse ever again

[tidal raft]

They've always been heavy, even in Anomaly. It's not his doing.

[graceful iron]

thats actually... a really good idea not sure how they fit into the ammo economy tho

you really should give more #old-feedback-suggestions but i assume grok would get tired of all the good suggestions

[charred glen]

Hi, is there a point breaking boxes for loot (wooden/small metallic ones) in gamma ? thx !

[warped ginkgo]

they sometimes drop some items

[magic reef]

Anyone have issues with stashes and npc give false positions on map?

[crystal kernel]

Helo does anyone know how to change the pda brightness

[north turret]

Where can i sell my guns?

[wise sparrow]

if your pda batteries are low the screen is darker. try changing the batteries to a set at 100%

[crystal kernel]

No its wayy too bright

[vapid dirge]

Custom Reshade?

[crystal kernel]

Turned off

Well the reshade thing that #old-framerate-optimisation tells u to disable is turned off

[tidal raft]

You can't.

Question: I've got AO set to HBAO (RTX 3060 mobile) and still the scopes induce a FPS drop when zoomed in. Is there any way to fix that? Also, I've noticed that if I try to change the presets in the settings, the game crashes with memory call problem.

[wise sparrow]

AO should be set to SSAO for the screen space shaders in the pack

[cinder valve]

It was at SSAO, induced a large FPS drop. Changed to HBAO, less fps drop but still noticeable. Any workaround?

R5 5600H, 16GB RAM (2Rx8, CL20), RTX 3060 95W mobile, Win10, SSD

[wise sparrow]

if you have it set to HBAO the screen space shaders won't work which is probably why you got an fps improvement

[cinder valve]

I'm asking because I remember that anomaly stock had the same problem, and changing it to anything except SSAO did the trick (or disabling). So guess I'll have to disable the shaders then

[wise sparrow]

since you're on a laptop it could also be a power plan issue

the default graphic settings aren't that intense it should run fine on that hardware

well anywhere except rostok

[cinder valve]

It's not. I wasn't born yesterday. I could show you my degree in physics and computer engineering. The final question: Is it possible to disable the non-fullscreen scopes and return to the vanilla stalker scope zoom (fullscreen)? The double render, picture in picture really drops the frames too much.
The games runs perfectly on my hardware. I'm getting 80+ FPS in most areas on stock GAMMA settings that have been buffed up a bit (distances). Still, no matter the setting, zooming with the scope drops the FPS hard. No matter the mode or even if SSAO is off.

[wise sparrow]

wait you're using one of the PiP scopes? those will always halve your fps

also nobody cares about your degrees you came here asking for help and i answered

[tidal raft]

Don't use PIP-scopes. Case closed.

[crystal kernel]

Wht do i do to enable selling guns

[tidal raft]

#╭📖faq

[crystal kernel]

So i cant just enable that while keeping everything else the same?

[north turret]

my nvg dont work

[cinder valve]

@wise sparrow Sorry for lashing out. It's just that daily I hear so many people recommending the stock "update drivers, reinstall, check this, check that" without doing any actual googling or trying to figure stuff out and remember it.

[warped ginkgo]

Pip make Game render twice

cpu not used 100% in stalker

game renders and kills cpu

i think you can edit the ltx of the weapon to make it show a 2d scope i think

no idea if its possible

[warped ginkgo]

Hold N

#│💻keybinds-in-gamma

[cinder valve]

@warped ginkgo Thanks, I did a quick discord search for the "Pip" and seen that the PiP scopes are in yellow text. I'll just avoid the yellow text like the plague. Would anyone mind telling me if it's possible to reset the graphical settings to "Stock" GAMMA, without reinstalling the whole thing. Don't know if I've changed anything that would mess with the shaders/reshades.

[warped ginkgo]

you want the setting that gamma sets as default?

[cinder valve]

That is correct, yes.

[warped ginkgo]

go to your rc3 folder and search for a folder called gamma patches or something like that, then search for the user.ltx inside the folders

[cinder valve]

Thank you very much!

[warped ginkgo]

copy and parte into your appdata folder where your anomaly is insgalled

[slow fox]

Which setting in populations do you play at? Stalkers/mutants

[mild yoke]

Sorry if this has been asked already. Is the magazine addon compatible with gamma? If so how do I add it to the mod organizer?

[vapid dirge]

Probably a silly question, but since the update to UNISG traders, is Hernandez not supposed to give out tasks or accept documents?

[vapid dirge]

Its in the pack already

[slow topaz]

#╓☢stalker-chat message is this a dangerous error or can I just play normally

[crystal kernel]

Is there a way to rename the mercs so it makes sense they speak american english

[mild yoke]

But when I unload my weapon it just adds the ammo to my inventory. No magazines.

[vapid dirge]

You need to enable it via MO2

under optional addons

[mild yoke]

gotcha. Thanks.

[crystal kernel]

Is there a way to fix weapon icons

The one for the ak 12 and several others seem to be missing

[brisk zinc]

Maybe the slider for texture details

You need to put it to max

[zenith peak]

I could swear that yesterday i had crows warning me about a blowout, now i got sirens. Did something change?

[quiet willow]

Could be area related

[tidal raft]

Two different phenomena. One is a blowout/emission (PDA's radio shutdown, and crows cawing). Other is a Psy-storm (Sirens, and radio buzzing).

[zenith peak]

Ahhh that makes sense! Thank you

Is it possible to change both to crows? Feels way more immersive

[winter drum]

i dont really want to go through the hassle of leaving items in stashes around the map and trying to remember what items are where. is it viable to just ignore that game mechanic and just try to carry everything i need/pay technicians for when i need something specific?

[brisk zinc]

You can leave items inside stashes, it's not really a problem, if a stash gets filled again you should find new stuff + the old stuff you left in there

I think you can avoid to check them but it's "stupid" since you're basically saying no to good loot
Not only that, in the northern parts of the Zone you can find expert tools so you're basically obligated to check them

[tidal raft]

Go ahead and modify that as you please. I can't tell you how since I don't know how it works.

[tidal raft]

Make your own stash in a central location, then pick it all up, fast travel to the next destination, and drop a new stash on the ground.

[jagged lance]

you can fast travel when you're overencumbered?

[vapid dirge]

with the option selected

[tidal raft]

If you enable it to be so in the Settings menu.

[winter drum]

I get you, I mean i love looting the stashes, no issue with that part - I just wasnt sure if its basically a requirement to advance in this game for me to store MY own stuff in them to account for all the tools/materials needed for crafting

[vapid dirge]

anyone got any ides or am I going crazy and that was never a thing

[vapid dirge]

create your own with backpacks

[winter drum]

But my question is, do I have to or can i just carry what i need and still progress my character

[brisk zinc]

It's a requirement when it comes to expert tools because if you want to craft better gear you need to find them first so you need to check them

If you want to make your life harder and only rely on what you can find on dead bodies and/or traders, you can do that, I don't see the reason but you can, no one will stop you

[vapid dirge]

It would be very difficult to progress, if not impossible.

[tidal raft]

You probably can, but it would be extremely difficult since all materials required to repair one outfit easily outweigh your capacity by itself.

You can see how I move and create stashes here:
#╟🎮stalker-videos📹 message

[winter drum]

I promise im not trying to be difficult but i feel like im not explaining myself well lol: let me retry - I totally understand the role of stashes, I loot them every time i find them for sure. My question is about the ability for the player to store their own stuff in them. Is doing that expected for the average player? Im asking because Im too lazy to micromanage where I left items and in what stash etc. So i want to just only worry about what im carrying on my back and sell the rest. But I worry, is gear progression impossible if im not storing extra materials and items in a stash somewhere? I hope that made sense.

[brisk zinc]

Oh that

Okay now I get it

[tidal raft]

It's expected from all players.
New and professionals alike.

[delicate wharf]

create a backpack stash in some central map and it will be marked on your map

no need to remember/micromanage

[vapid dirge]

That was already answered, unless you do NOT want to create your own stash at all. Like period.

[delicate wharf]

you will want to save mats for crafting equipment / repairing gear you find

[winter drum]

is there a capacity limit to a pack? can i just store everything in one?

[tidal raft]

No.

[vapid dirge]

Just dont push the ID limit

[delicate wharf]

you can store everything in one but if you store a fuckton it may lag you

and yea eventually it will cause issues

[winter drum]

Yea sorry i didnt see it until i finished typing the message

[delicate wharf]

but tbh I have never run into that problem and I tend to throw everything into 1-2 stashes

[vapid dirge]

I create a central location and can fast travel to my stashes because I play on baby mode, pretty convenient

[winter drum]

Alright i’ll suck it up and make a couple of stashes. Thanks for the help fellas

[delicate wharf]

I also tend to use a couple specific premade stashes in every run where they make sense so I don't always make backpack ones

like the box by the tank in the middle of freedom base or in dead city by the lockers

[brisk zinc]

If you have fast travel limit on, you can check your stashes by PDA

The downside is that you need to stay inside the same map and the distance is limited

But at least you can literally teleport your stuff from your inventory to another

[winter drum]

That makes sense. I need to see what fast travel rules im playing with and I’ll figure something out 👍🏻

[vapid dirge]

that leads me into another question, sometimes right clicking doesnt bring anything up. Is that just a vanilla issue?

[brisk zinc]

It could be, or maybe you're not clicking "right"

Or something is overlapping

Like an area, an anomaly field, a quest, another stash... something like that

[mild yoke]

Is there a special menu you use for healing individual body parts?

[brisk zinc]

No

[halcyon stump]

what's the default population factor settings for the modpack? i increased them but forgot and am having a bit lower fps than i'd expect

[mild yoke]

How do you heal body parts?

[craggy fable]

Different items heal different parts.

A First Aid Kit heals everything temporarily.

Then you need to top off with a permanent solution.

Ibuprofen, Fentanyl, Yadulin, etc.

[jagged lance]

also read the manual amigo

[craggy fable]

Look for things that heal white points in their descriptions.

[faint stratus]

bruh im ngl, i got swarmed by 15 mili near the stash and died so that stash doesnt exist to me anymore

[charred glen]

How do you guys manage your storage, do you have multiple stashes scattered around, or a central hub in your faction base ?

[faint stratus]

problem solves

[faint stratus]

right now i have like 3 with guns in one, parts and ammo parts in one, and armor and armor parts in another at faction base

right now just one home base

spend a lot of time after expeditions making ammo, repairing stuff in one spot is what i find most effective but im still early in my run, maybe multiple is the play later on

[sleek dust]

I'm doing a ecologist run and i'm doing a quest for clear sky (part of the main questline i suppose???) called "last dawn". One of the tasks is to retrieve a scanner in an anomaly north west of the clear sky base and yet i've been unable to find it anywhere, does anyone know where it actually is ?

[fleet grail]

Its on a body, if i remember correctly.

[sleek dust]

aaaaaaaaaaaaah fuck me

near the tower?

[fleet grail]

I think its not static spawn. you should have a map marker tho?

[sleek dust]

No i don't

[fleet grail]

Its inside the circle, dont know why there is not a marker

Check Task List, if theres a circle after the quest text

And click on it if there is one to center map into it

[sleek dust]

Nope

[fleet grail]

Maybe the body (item) is not spawned and thats why its not showing, hard to say.

[sleek dust]

Yeah i guess

Problem is that this is a main quest lmao

[fleet grail]

You can use Dev menu (Esc, F1) to complete it

[vapid dirge]

Last dawn isnt a main quest

just the intro to CS

[fleet grail]

Yes, but as Clear Sky you will get quest for main quest after you do Last dawn.

[sleek dust]

what it isn't ????

bruh.

[fleet grail]

Find Strelok and the labs are main quests

[vapid dirge]

I also recall the tracker only being Spore's part, Cold only gave me attack quests

[delicate wharf]

the tracker is an item you pick up its not on a body or whatever

if I remember right its over here in red. Definitely that anomaly though

[sleek dust]

gotcha

thanks

i'll look for it

Can I turn on body health system on an existing run that I started yesterday?

Or does it need to be a new game?

[acoustic timber]

qUESTION

do artefacts recharge or not?

[hoary veldt]

Artifacts do not recharge

You'll have to use the new Artifact Melter from Hermann/Sakharov to recharge the artifacts with dupes

[slow fox]

Also, the More aggresive NPC looting, is it supposed to be turned on now? I keep turning it off cause it says so in the description

[hoary veldt]

It's turned on by default in GAMMA now, but I keep it off because I'm a dirty loot goblin and I can't kick that habit

[slow fox]

Same

Its the best part of the game

[rare sluice]

Which mod adds durability to artifacts?

[hoary veldt]

Artifacts Reinvention, but if you're gonna disable it I'd be really careful

It'll break a lot of systems

[rare sluice]

Which ones do you know of?

[hoary veldt]

[tight leaf]

if i turn off gamma economy changes for warfare mode and turn it back on afterwards, will it break my existing storymode save?

[hoary veldt]

I just know from others saying so that it'll break the systems in Gamma

[rare sluice]

Gotcha, not a fan of it since I will end up never using artifacts given how infrequently I find them

How can i make the progressive loot fator set to all rather than progressive on enemies through the mods, i did it in the settings but not tall loot spawn on them

Junk af no. Defensive AF don't loose durability on usage

[willow hawk]

Keep it on.

[slow fox]

Does it make the game much difficult?

[willow hawk]

Slower yes

And sometimes fucking rage inducing

[slow fox]

Does it make it so that stalkers killed by others are not lootable?

[willow hawk]

Killed an exo with my fort with 9x18 AP, the exo got looted by a random

[jagged lance]

yeah

[slow fox]

i just dont want ti have to use meds every time i get a bit of rads

[jagged lance]

they yell at you on pda when you try to loot them

[willow hawk]

You can't loot bodies that are being looted

[slow fox]

even the ones you killed?

[willow hawk]

You can loot bodies of ennemies killed by others if you are fast enough

[willow hawk]

Yes

[slow fox]

wtf

[willow hawk]

First come, first served

It really pushes you to loot fast when helped by randoms

I like it

Sometimes you want to kill these fuckers cause they stole your loot

I like this, makes the game more lively and promotes "interactions" with other stalkers

Getting your loot yoinked and then being called out by the same Merc stealing your loot asking if you are still gay

[jagged lance]

interactions ie. putting holes in the back of friendly's heads

is there any way?

Nvm can be disabled in MCM

[willow hawk]

Some stuff will always "disappear" (like upgrades)

armors have a chance to loot or not, this is managed by addons configurable in MCM menu

[fickle locust]

no like in settings in progression difficulty i can change loot on corpses from progressive to full, but because of the mod it is still not full, any to fix that

[willow hawk]

Check Outfit drops in Mod Config Menu

[fickle locust]

and what would i change it too

It's self explanatory....

[fickle locust]

nvm

[willow hawk]

I don't have any exclusive stuff to give to patreons, so I don't see the point of making a Patreon @rare sluice

#💰donations are well enough and there's a donate button on the installer

So when people update, it should ring a bell

i would say early game its best to keep it raw and sell them to that merchant in garbage that pretty much gives the best prices for mutant parts (apart from ecologists)

[graceful iron]

you should keep the high tier ones to cook(all cooking recipes are unlocked as well) and the low tier really common ones you can deliver for quests or sell

high tier(purified) chimera meat gives a carry weight buff for a really long time, and some others give stamina recovery

Is there any simple tip to improve performance? I am getting much lower frame rate with GAMMA than normal Anomaly.
Second option would be to use smaller screen (my primary screen is 3440x1440 and secondary is 1920x1080) but the problem is I don't know how to start Gamma on secondary screen

[brisk zinc]

#old-framerate-optimisation

[graceful iron]

i think you can start the game in borderless or windowed to move it to the second screen

[alpine moon]

Problem with that is that my mouse cursor can move out of the secondary screen to the primary screen, click and deselect the game.

[graceful iron]

even when you change it to full screen?

[alpine moon]

alt + enter, yes

I'll try it again though to be sure

If I switch to the fullscreen using configuration menu instead of using ALT+Enter it actually works

bro my cigs 💀

why they still out of sync

you can try adding it and putting it at the end of the load order, just make sure to install it correctly using mo2

[livid panther]

remember the name of it? i use it on EFP but dont remember the name of the mod EDITED!! found it xD

[mild yoke]

For some reason my companions won't follow me? Anyone else have this issue?

[graceful iron]

press c to open the companion wheel?

[mild yoke]

I've issued commands

they just stand there

[graceful iron]

save/load

[graceful iron]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/fillable-canteens i think its this one

[livid panther]

think you're right

[brisk zinc]

Are you using that mod?

It's disabled by default

[charred glen]

the rads are quite atrocious in wild territory, and I still have starting gear set, what would you recommend/be sufficient to adventure there ? thanks !

[tidal raft]

SSP-99 Sphere, or 'medium outfits/helmets' if you don't know which helmet that is.

[slow fox]

BHS question-why do i keep loosing health points? I used medkit, used post heal item but the head didnt heal completely and i was taking damage while the temporary points were removed. Now no more temp points but i keep loosing overall health like crazy. Wtf?

Is it something like: if you cant post heal all joints then dont use medkit?

[tidal raft]

You may be starving/dehydrated.

[slow fox]

Not the case

[tidal raft]

Could be bleeding, radiation..

[slow fox]

Also none of those

Leg is injured

[tidal raft]

You shouldn't be losing health passively from temp health going down.

[slow fox]

Does it mean loss of health if i leep running or something

[tidal raft]

If your leg is badly injured you occasionally lose health from sprinting.

[slow fox]

Seems like the case. When im standing im not loosing hp

[tidal raft]

Lose.

You may be losing the game, but at least you have loose change in your pocket.

[jagged lance]

so true gamers

@slow fox but yeah if you try to sprint when one/both of your legs is under 50% you occasionally take hp damage

and i think it damages the leg a bit too

[delicate zenith]

How do you enable the new english VA for merc/unisg player characters?

[slow fox]

I was taking damage every 3 seconds

[slow fox]

Ok

[jagged lance]

yeah thats about right

[clever hound]

Hello. What happened to the Comparison feature ? I was able to check armor condition in pristine by pressing ALT. And now it's not working.

[jagged lance]

its left ctrl now

alt was causing problems

[clever hound]

Ohh, okay. Thx

[jagged lance]

np

[clever hound]

Btw, maybe you can tell me how does this BR class works?

[jagged lance]

idk the specifics but basically the higher BR the better bullets it can stop from penetrating

give me a sec

here you go read the bit linked here

#│📚manual message

"Bullets have an armor penetration value in their description. It's based on the Russian BR classification for ammo penetration:

• BR1 - BR2 = penetrate light armors
• BR3 - BR4 = penetrate middle-class armors
• BR5 = penetrate heavy armors
• BR6 = penetrate exo armors. "

[lilac meteor]

Then there is .338 lapua BR unlimited 1.5

[clever hound]

So If a Sniper ammo does 45 BR class penetration. It Penetrates the armor and also does the damage

[jagged lance]

yes

so AP ammo in general is very useful against other people with armor

[craggy fable]

Bullets that do not penetrate armor also do damage, but they do much, much less damage.

[north turret]

which means that shotguns arent op anymore

unless you use slugs

which enemies barely do

[craggy fable]

Shotgunners are bit lame, yes. But at the same time they are pretty rare.

In late game, that is.

Early game they are common and fairly dangerous.

[pseudo harness]

Depends, if you use either slugs or AP slugs, they might be able to go through armor - check all types of shotgun ammo description

[strong wraith]

How rare are exos/nosorogs. I feel like I've killed countless exo guys so far but no drop besides some frames

[ebon coral]

What reshade is the game using?

[tidal raft]

Press "Home" to see the applied effects while the game is open.

[ebon coral]

Can I and how to use this instead?https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/p-r-o-s-p-e-r-i-t-y

[graceful iron]

you can probably use any reshade, how to use them is a different thing #╟🎑reshades

[slow fox]

It may be connected to your rank

[sterile berry]

where can i find a good crafting guide?

[graceful iron]

crafting guide ? all recipes are unlocked you just have to right click on any toolkit and open workbench #│📚manual

[jolly garnet]

I really like First Person Death mod, can install it in GAMMA ?

[strong wraith]

Recently became #1 like in the last 2 hours or so

[graceful iron]

you can try #🔨modded-gamma-support

[strong wraith]

So I have no idea. Furthest I hang out is in Zaton so far though

[charred glen]

Do I only need to change settings in this place for population factor, or do I also need to tweak smthg somewhere else ? thx !

[slow fox]

Might be the issue

[graceful iron]

exoskeletons are very rare, you will probably have to loot multiple exoskeleton stalkers to get one

[graceful iron]

no, this is enough for population factors

[slow fox]

To be fair i got several exos in AW with Legend rank

[graceful iron]

just make sure to save/load to apply the changes

[simple meteor]

Sort of a weird issue I am having. Just installed GAMMA for the first time and haven't messed with the graphics settings. The game runs fine at a constant 60 fps but I feel like its putting way too much load on my GPU. It's running at a constant 84 degrees C (the normal temperatures I get for base Anomaly is like 65C) and my fans are running at 100% constantly, which is annoyingly loud. Just wondering if anyone else had an issue like this. I am thinking it is to due with all the new shaders, but when I try and disable them following the guide in #old-framerate-optimisation, the game just won't start anymore. I have a GTX 1070Ti, Intel i5-8600k @ 4Ghz and 16GB RAM

[graceful iron]

did you delete shaders_cache folder in anomaly/appdata ? and did you follow the steps correctly ? you can try only disabling the reshade in game by pressing home and unchecking all options if the average fps is fine and its just a heating GPU

[simple meteor]

Yeah I unchecked all the reshade effects by pressing home. I disabled the listed addons and copied the GAMMA user itx to anomaly, and also deleted the shader cache

but when I did those steps, the game crashed on startup

[graceful iron]

post the crash log #╭📖faq

[simple meteor]

I re-enabled the addons there, had the 'home' reshades turned off and like, I am just stood in Duty's base not doing anything and my card is running at 84C with the fans going mental lol

[simple meteor]

will do

[graceful iron]

make sure you followed step 1 to the letter, it can cause issues to just skip any part of it

[north turret]

guys👉 👈

I helped Strelok, he directed me and told me to go to the abandoned hospital (I think it is the one north of limansk) but I found only 2 monoliths and the quest not belong

[simple meteor]

Just confused with this

[north turret]

I helped him in the Sharpshooter quest

[simple meteor]

'Right click on beef NVG'?

[simple meteor]

ah right

[graceful iron]

not the hospital, he is talking about the hospital building in outskirts

[simple meteor]

I assume I replace?

[graceful iron]

yes

[simple meteor]

cheers

[graceful iron]

@north turret

[north turret]

love you

[graceful iron]

you just have to walk around the area and the quest will update, you need to find his 2 friends

[serene cedar]

I searched but was unable to find, maybe I was using incorrect terminology. The running seems like it is leaning/tripping/stumbling. The walking seems smooth and fine however. Is that due to RemadeAnimations perhaps?

[graceful iron]

i dont remember the exact spots, but these are approximates

[brisk zinc]

Incredible power, you know everything, as always

[simple meteor]

Hmmmm so turning off all those extra shaders didnt do anything, but turning on vsync and setting the frame limiter to 60fps solved the issue. Now my card is back to 65C like normal

I think the issue was that without a frame limiter, my GPU is putting out like 200+ frames and killing itself

[brisk zinc]

Yeah the frame limiter is very important

[simple meteor]

I'll try re-enable the shaders and just turn the frame limiter on

[simple meteor]

Ah right, yeah it was never an fps issue, more of a concern that my card would ignite lmao

[graceful iron]

make sure to reinstall the beef's nvgs addon if you are going to enable the other shader mods

[simple meteor]

Thanks for the help @graceful iron

[brisk zinc]

The game is full of ups and downs when it comes to FPS

For that reason your GPU got to "work more"

Hence the "ignite" thing

[simple meteor]

Ah right hahahaha

Yeah it happens with other games, I remember playing Squad and my card was at like 90C

turn on vsync

75C 😐

[brisk zinc]

I have a 3070 and I can't manage to have the game up to 60 FPS

I need to use the frame limiter as well

That's why I know it

[simple meteor]

Too powerful for our own good 😔

[serene cedar]

Accidentally sold one of the Anomalous Samples for the AH first quest. Is the only way to fix it is to go into Debug mode?

[brisk zinc]

Well you sold it, I guess you can buy it back?
But yes debug mode it's the quickest way

[simple meteor]

Just install all of these yeah?

[graceful iron]

no, just beefs and beefs patch for ES only

[simple meteor]

ah right thanks

[serene cedar]

The restock already happened, it was a few game days ago. 😦

Thanks!
