For GAMMA 0.9.4 onward
Issue: You are playing on DX8 or DX9, and crash out with the message Shader 'models/scope_back' not found (sometimes scope_zwrite)
Fix: Make sure you have made the mod changes listed in the DX8/9 post: #🔨base-gamma-support message. If this message conflicts with the post, follow the post first (it basically gives you a mod profile that's already made all of these changes).

Mods to enable:
SPECIAL NOTE:
433- UDP-9 Carbine - Pilliii - this mod can cause issues on DX9, but disabling it may cause crashes at game start or when the game tries to spawn NPCs with it. Therefore we don't disable it, but be aware that this gun may cause issues for you in a DX8/9 game.
If you aren't on DX8 or DX9, don't do this.

Issue: Screenshots are partly or completely transparent except for HUD and UI elements
Fix: Use Reshade's screenshot function instead of Anomaly's. You can open the Reshade menu with HOME, go to Settings, and choose your screenshot keybind and output folder there.

Issue: You have fewer than #📍577-mods-in-mo2 after a fresh install or update
Fix: Simply run the GAMMA Launcher again as admin, leave all options as default, and click "Install/Update GAMMA".
If many errors pop up in the black Powershell window, or after two or three times of repeating the fix you still have missing mods, ask in #🔨base-gamma-support for help.

Settings to avoid. These reliably cause in-game issues. Don't enable or change these unless you want to make your game bug out or crash.
Anomaly settings
Mod Config Menu settings
This is not a complete list and may change as GAMMA development continues.

Quicksaves don't work, or you are crashing when you save/quicksave/autosave
This is because Anomaly's old-ass engine cannot handle character or PC usernames that have letters aside from A-Z a-z А-Я а-я. No punctuation, no numbers, and no other non-alphabetic characters.
To fix the issue for quicksaves or regular saves, rename your character (or start a new game). To fix crashes from autosaves, you'll have to change your PC username (really). If this still doesn't work, go to one of the support channels.

Why do NPCs point their guns at me and run around if I sprint near them?
This is a side-effect of the AI tweaks that GAMMA does to make NPCs more aggressive in combat.
Full explanation in spoilers: ||The player's footstep sounds are treated by NPCs as if they are weapon reloading sounds. In combat, this is good because it makes them rush the player. The problem is, in a friendly or neutral base, it makes them act like there's an enemy nearby.||

Spooky Taskboard error, help!
Yeah well turns out
It stops you taking broken tasks. Treat it like an easter egg like the "Kill Strelok" PDA. Nothing is wrong (on the player side).

Troubleshooting
During the install process:
When in doubt, reinstall once again (delete mods folder > launch the installer > complete install)
if you crash on startup of Anomaly, try replacing the exe of Anomaly (in Anomaly/bin) by the ones of the GAMMA (in GAMMA RC1/.Grok's Modpack Installer/GAMMA/modpack_patches/bin).
If you play in DX8, delete the appdata/user.ltx in Anomaly folder can avoid some crash on startup.
If some addons have a red cross, you can right click > reinstall them (shouldn't happen).
Addons newly updated compared to modpack definition will be stored at the end of the load order in MO2 so you can easily spot them. Double click them to see if there's a gamedata folder in theses addons, if it's the case, you can then move them to their correct position thanks to the number in their name (i.e. 83- for the 83th addon of the load order) and launch the game. If the game crashes or if there is no gamedata folder in these addons, you can right click > reinstall them.
If you don't have windows 10, you need to install PowerShell 5 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=54616
Windows Defender can flag the installer as a virus (others might flag it as a ransomware...). You can scan it online here (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload) if you don't trust the exe file, these are indeed false alarm of few antivirus. You need to add the exe as an exception if it's self deleting. Here's the virus total scan result for the installer: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/e9b09b8abeb263f89cd39448cf48be272ab9c32baeed04cd7f734bdc097ddb05/detection
If you have troubles downloading the files (receiving TSL SSL errors), you can replace the installer in .Grok's Modpack Installer by this one: https://github.com/Grokitach/Stalker_GAMMA/raw/main/G.A.M.M.A. Installer.exe

GPU device instance has been suspended Fix // AMD GPU issues fix
If you have an AMD GPU, different issues can arise, from random crashes to add-ons not working after a small stutter (NVG not working, animations being broken...). If you suspect your AMD GPU being involved, here's an easy fix:
Modify the registry entry to increase the GPU processing time.
A possible AMD GPU fix is to check BIOS to make sure the GPU is running on PCI GEN 3. In your BIOS settings you can also go to advanced chipset configuration and ENABLE Above 4G Decoding.

Solving the Hard Busy Hands issue that killed a save (very rare)
If you have the dreaded "busy hands" bug (can't interact with anything, saving crashes the game) here's the 100% working fix:
In MO2, disable Crook's UI Identification, FDDA, immersive sleep, immersive sleep FDDA patch, DLTX FDDA extra animations, GAMMA Cooking overhaul, GAMMA Sleep Balance and GAMMA FDDA Rework
Load your save, play a little bit normally and save (the bug should be gone already).
Quit the game and activate addons you previously disabled.
Load your last save, the problem should be gone now and all the animations will work as usual.

Adjusting how dark the game can be (DX11 only)
While in game, you can adapt how dark the game can be depending on your screen calibration with these two settings (increasing them will make the screen brighter) by opening the console (check #│💻keybinds-in-gamma to know how to open it):
contrast
gamma
Here's another way to adjust the game brightness

**Crashing after fresh install despite the #📍577-mods-in-mo2 **
First things first, check that these files in GAMMA RC3/downloads are of the correct size (image 1 below). If not, download the add-ons manually from moddb and move their zip to the downloads folder.
Then, be sure to copy paste the content of GAMMA RC3/. Grok's Modpack Installer/modpack_patches to the Anomaly folder (image 2 below).
If it still doesn't work, delete the GAMMA RC3/mods folder, delete GAMMA RC3/.Grok's Modpack Installer folder > get that folder back from the GAMMA RC3.7z archive and put it back into your existing GAMMA RC3 folder > Launch installer > update GAMMA data > Complete GAMMA Install.
