╟🎑reshades

[elder edge]

Yessir!

[muted glacier]

I just tried exactly this, followed the instructions on moddb and placed/disabled what I had to and the game crashes on startup :/

Edit : Managed to get it to work. Disable the Soundscape Overhaul patch for it, that's the cause

[mint owl]

Still not quite there

[mint owl]

@river flower My man

[river flower]

Yes

[mint owl]

The only slight difference is because of the sun

[river flower]

I was about to ask that

My man CS does it again

[mint owl]

Wanna know a fun fact ?

Didn't need to disable anything

I just tweaked 2 shaders

sky2.vs

r2 & r3

1.7 eye adaptation, I reduced the number to 1.1

I'll make some test, then I'll integrate it to the next repack

Should be ready in about 15-30 minutes

[river flower]

Take your time, I don't need it right away

[mint owl]

There is still a slight effect, but this time, you'd only need to disable magic bloom, and it's not related to news anymore

But rather willingly done

[mint owl]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKsOr9YdiXM If you need it someday, this is my reshade workout music xD

[river flower]

Off topic I know but I love Doctor Who

[mint owl]

Yeah, but I mentionned reshade so it's fine xD

[river flower]

Last OT about it: the last good doctor is Capaldi, don't @ me, nothing against a female doctor but whoever wrote her episodes need to be fired

[coral lotus]

how to fix this pixelated shadow

[mint owl]

Ah, my man, you're confusing Doctor Who & Woketor Who

My favorite is still Matt

[river flower]

No more OT but Tennant >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[mint owl]

Yes sir, both great, both better than the last one xD

[mint owl]

Bad anti aliasing ?

[coral lotus]

anti aliasing off

[mint owl]

Ah, in that case, try to turn SMAA & Anisotropic Filtering on

[coral lotus]

already turned on

[mint owl]

x2 & x16 like default ?

Any reshade effect ?

[coral lotus]

max

[coral lotus]

yes

but in default it still like that

[mint owl]

Have you tried deleting the shader cache and restart the game ?

[coral lotus]

tried

[mint owl]

DX11 ?

[coral lotus]

yes

im playing on dx 11

[mint owl]

Try to disable some settings one by one and see if that does something

Settings and not reshade effects

[coral lotus]

i tried

but

it seems nothing

when go near a tree

this shadow appear

bug from sss mod

[mint owl]

The SSS can be a bit buggy yes

317 active addons ?

[coral lotus]

yes

i tried to play on other modpack

[mint owl]

So it's a SSS issue it seems, weird because it does not do that for me

[coral lotus]

this bug still appear

[mint owl]

Can I see your user ltx ?

[coral lotus]

when i stand near a tree then this bug appear

[coral lotus]

ok

[mint owl]

Do you have the ltx file ? You can drop it here

[coral lotus]

here

[mint owl]

Okay, let's see

Can you try mine ?

And see if it does something ?

@coral lotus

[coral lotus]

ok

[mint owl]

And delete the shader cache again

Just in case

[mint owl]

Otherwise, it could lead to issues

[coral lotus]

ok

[mortal shuttle]

Apollo's Reshade

A reshade preset built to be dark, filmic and cinematic without sacrificing playability, your eyeballs, or your frame rate. This reshade preset works best with Golden Autumn Redux. Huge thanks to CS Eden (and the creator of GAR) for discovering & making such an amazing graphics setup, all I did was make this reshade preset. Full installation instructions along with the necessary console commands can be found in the instructions.txt within the archive. If you come across something that doesn't look right and/or have any suggestions or feedback, please feel free to @ or DM me.

An album showcasing the preset at different times and during different weathers; https://imgur.com/a/Ncrpii3

[mint owl]

@mortal shuttle I'm updating the reshade soon, change of brightness fixed

[mortal shuttle]

[river flower]

[mortal shuttle]

Idk what does that cause it doesn't happen with my preset

[mint owl]

Ah, let me give you the files in advance

Put this at the end of your load order for now

[coral lotus]

nothing change @mint owl

[mint owl]

It looks massively better though

Than your last picture

[mortal shuttle]

what's your shadow map quality in your anomaly launcher

[coral lotus]

i max it but

this problem still appear

[mint owl]

https://tenor.com/view/laughing-spider-man-j-jonah-jameson-jjj-fun-gif-16881310

You need to let it at default

[mortal shuttle]

you maxed this?

[river flower]

It's very good but I don't like this strange "foggyness", like it isn't clear enough for some reason
You can see it in the first pic, it's like there's something covering it

[coral lotus]

i tried default too

[coral lotus]

yep

[mint owl]

You tried default + delete shader cache together ?

[coral lotus]

yes

[mint owl]

And not delete through launcher I mean

[coral lotus]

oh

ok

i will try again

[mint owl]

You need to go in your appdata and delete it there

[coral lotus]

ok

[mint owl]

That's his trademark Falco x)

[mortal shuttle]

it's actually due to having volumetric sun ray mode on

ahem @mint owl

[mint owl]

I'm sorry, wut ?

I don't have it

Also yes ?

[mortal shuttle]

Top is screen space only, bottom is volumetric only

[river flower]

@mint owl a fucking clean install resolved the problem with probably something else, now I have 70 fps, fucking game

[mint owl]

Xray being Xray xD

[mint owl]

Weather & time ?

[mortal shuttle]

and this is with both on

one sec

[mint owl]

Don't do it or the moon is gonna kill you xD

[river flower]

I don't have that double alife.ltx as well

And I'm not using the exe without the 0 core

I need to go in Cordon to see if that bridge make me stutter now

[mint owl]

Ah, I have core 0 + the stuttering patch because why not

[river flower]

Only then I'll know if everything works well

[mortal shuttle]

it's clear2 @ 7:16 in jupiter near the train yard

[mint owl]

I'm on it

[river flower]

I'll enable the stuttering patch because why not as well then

My visual now is all default

I didn't touch anything

[mint owl]

It helped my framerate honestly

[mortal shuttle]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[mint owl]

With it I can max every settings except grass density & grass height and no lag

[mortal shuttle]

i'm being abducted by the moon god

[coral lotus]

i give up

[coral lotus]

@mint owl

any solutions

[mint owl]

It was much better here and less noticeable

Though

[coral lotus]

yeah

haiz

[mint owl]

Wanna try something ?

I'll be releasing my reshade really soon

So you may try and see with it

[mortal shuttle]

what weather and time was this taken at?

[mint owl]

Or use Apollo's reshade here

[river flower]

[mortal shuttle]

i used to have that bug but i don't have it anymore afaik

[mint owl]

I don't know what that patch does but it's the good shit I tell you

9/10 computers are recommending it

[mortal shuttle]

how to double your fps:

delete common squads

[coral lotus]

yeah

[mint owl]

Delete all squads, so there can only be one

[vapid olive]

i wonder how good/bad it'll look withour Autumn. but i am spent and need to sleep. will maybe test tomorrow

[mortal shuttle]

send me some pics when you try it

[coral lotus]

blooming moon:)))

[vapid olive]

I will - but with my luck ima fuck and brick my game

[mortal shuttle]

xray moment

[river flower]

What do I choose here?

[mint owl]

Volumetric

Don't even think about Both

[river flower]

Come to Lobby real quick

I'll show what I changed

So you can correct me

[coral lotus]

screen space sure

volumetric is ugly

it make all of your sky too bright

[river flower]

@mint owl waiting for you

[mortal shuttle]

idk if falco will like volumetric cause it's too foggy 😩

[mortal shuttle]

what are you 'changing'?

[river flower]

Come and see

[mint owl]

Yes ?

[mortal shuttle]

oh he wants your graphics settings

[river flower]

Yes

[mint owl]

How do I join that ?

[mortal shuttle]

click on falco

[river flower]

You just did

Okay I literally put everything on max

[mint owl]

Okay, go on

[river flower]

Let me know when CS join my stream

[mortal shuttle]

he's in

i use SSDO

idk if that will change much visually or perfomance wise

[river flower]

Somebody told me to use HBAO since I have Nvidia

[mint owl]

What happened to your grass density ?

[river flower]

[mint owl]

And why gloss factor is maxed ? x)

[river flower]

Lowered just to be sure beforehand

[mint owl]

I was talking about the two first block of textures & rendering distance xD

[river flower]

Because everything on max is everything on max

[mint owl]

You will destroy your graphics xD

[river flower]

Okay back to default

I think

I don't remember if it was 0

[mint owl]

I have provided user ltx in case you want to compare

[river flower]

Send

I'll directly paste that one

[mint owl]

Careful, grass shadows xD

And 1080p

[river flower]

I'll change that to 2K

[mint owl]

Just copy the graphic part

Because you won't enjoy the everywhere is shown on map

[river flower]

Too late, I already pasted everything

[mint owl]

xD

[river flower]

[mint owl]

RIP x)

[river flower]

I think it crashed

[mint owl]

Show me the true powaaa

[river flower]

Okay we're in

You can join back

Game stuck on 60 fps

Clearly CS Eden doing

[mint owl]

I don't do that usually x)

It's just on 60 by default x)

I'm a classic enjoyer

[coral lotus]

@river flower max the fps limiter to 500

dont worry your gpu wont die

[river flower]

Okay we're back

[river flower]

I can't even get to stable 100 fps

That's why I have the limiter on 72

[coral lotus]

no just max it

u can get more

u wont get 100 or 500

[river flower]

AH YES

Max FPS

Clearly

[coral lotus]

but u will get more for sure

[river flower]

Goddamn it Eden

[mint owl]

Have you tried the stutter patch ?

[river flower]

Yes it's on

[mint owl]

Is it a SSD that you have ?

Otherwise I call eBay computer

[river flower]

Yes it's on SSD

I'm not playing with the 0 core btw

[coral lotus]

@river flower see

u got more fps

[river flower]

• you don't have the psy bar

[mint owl]

Ah, that's maybe why

I have it

0

On numpad

Or press H

[river flower]

That's probably my doing with some mod

[mint owl]

Haha no problem

[river flower]

Wait

Grass

We need to lower it

[hollow pumice]

I know one of the reasons why FPS on Dark Valley sucks ass

[river flower]

That bastard suck FPS

[mint owl]

I think Golden Autumn actually runs better

Maybe

Or... well, rip ? x)

[river flower]

I don't have that one, yet

[mint owl]

Maybe the stream is taking some of your fps as well

[hollow pumice]

In the bandit base, the NPCs LOVE to turn on the campfires by default

[river flower]

This is literally default

[hollow pumice]

That amount of smoke emitted from them will shit on your frames whenever you look North. It's not culled for whatever reason, but that's one major case for it.

[mint owl]

Disable the fps limiter as well

[river flower]

See?

It's the fucking grass

[mint owl]

Seems good to me

[coral lotus]

@river flower hahaa look at ur fps

it is 70 when in a house

then 50 outside

it's anomaly

[river flower]

This proves, again, that you can't have everything on max

[hollow pumice]

Nah it's Dark Valley

[river flower]

I have the dreaded random blue tint

[hollow pumice]

turn down your Hemi

[river flower]

My what

[hollow pumice]

r2_sun_lumscale_hemi

put it down to like 1.0 or lower cause anything above 1.1 will turn your shit blue

if you have dynamic tonemap on, lower the max hemi limit because it will not give a shit your adjustment and reset to it's own value.

[river flower]

19 fps

In Cordon

Shit's wack

[hollow pumice]

Anomaly hates your PC i guess

[mint owl]

I never had such low FPS ever

[river flower]

You saw my settings

Literally your stuff

[mint owl]

Core 0 + Stream taking FPS ?

[river flower]

No I wasn't on core 0

[mint owl]

Yes, but I am

And I'm pretty sure Streaming is part of the FPS drop

[river flower]

I wasn't because I installer everything again

It could also be the stream, yes

• you play on 1080p

I play on 2K

[mint owl]

Yeah,

I like 1080p

[river flower]

I think the difference is in that as well

[mint owl]

And that can be a huge difference for sure

Pretty sure that enabling core 0 + playing on 1080p would give you my results

[mortal shuttle]

disabled fullscreen optimization?

[mint owl]

Also I play on Borderless

[river flower]

I'll do that next time

I installed everything from scratch, Anomaly included

[mint owl]

That damn engine is broken

For some reason, that annoying brightness is back

And I haven't changed a thing

[hollow pumice]

XRay Engine

[mint owl]

God damnit xray

[mortal shuttle]

these nvgs actually work with my graphics setup

[dapper rivet]

maybe change your gamma and contrast manually to replicate it like how it was before

[mint owl]

That's the thing, I haven't touched anything

[dapper rivet]

no Im saying you should

[mint owl]

It was right, then when I rebooted the game, it was not

[dapper rivet]

r__gamma 1.2
rs_c_contrast 0.92

decrease the gamma value and increase the contrast value, probably both to 1

and it should replicate what it originally looked like

[mint owl]

Okay let me see

Nope

Didn't change anything

I'm genuinely clueless of the "why"

https://tenor.com/view/vietnamflashback-gif-7780922

How I feel about reshade right now

[river flower]

This is why I just stick to what Grok put in GAMMA

Because I know Reshade is pain

And I don't even know how it work

When it comes to modding I just avoid everything related to graphics

[mint owl]

Well, I know it will be worth it once I break this last wall

I'm way too close now to give up

I basically did the whole graphic part already, it just a matter of stupid tonemapping now

[mint owl]

Well, in the end, I found it

Fucking correct contrast was... well... correcting

[mortal shuttle]

[mint owl]

Gonna take some time to fix and make up for that loss, but definitely the culprit

The issue is... this is basically the core component

Fuck... i'm too sleepy to carry on

Trying to shake it off but nope

[mint owl]

@river flower All checked, I have done it, and even better than my previous version Apollo got

[vapid olive]

woop

[mint owl]

Currently checking all the seasonal packs I see most of the time (Gamma dead Zone, vanilla Green, Autumn repack, Golden Autumn). Once it passes the test, I'll put the pack on

[mortal shuttle]

[mint owl]

But so far, no more PDA bullshit

The news won't affect the screen whatsoever

[river flower]

[mint owl]

Wanna know a fun fact ?

It's fucking adaptive

Now

[vapid olive]

I must try this once it's done and I am home

[mint owl]

Sure thing, release today this time no more delay, it's all fixed

[vapid olive]

I'll pester you with how to do it then

[mint owl]

The reshade ? Good luck for your soul x)

I have to finish LTTZ once and for all first x)

[vapid olive]

how to install i meant, nvm i am overworked after 8 days and tired

[mint owl]

Oh

It's all gonna be a drag & drop into your bin folder (for the reshade)

The instructions will be on the readme

[vapid olive]

my man

doing god's work

[mint owl]

All I need now is to test all seasons

See how it adapts and overcome each of them

Basically, i can safely say that using this, not once will you suffer from weathers being too dark

The darkest will be at night, because... that's the night

Another good point, no need to disable Dynamic Tonemap anymore

[mint owl]

Simple Autumn Retexture + Gardener ? Check
Golden Autumn ? Check
Vanilla Green ? Check

@river flower I need some help x)

I have to know the worst looking locations & places in base GAMMA

@mortal shuttle Same question for you

[mortal shuttle]

uhhhhhhhhh

i really don't like the entrance to rostok from garbage

not the biggest fan of radar

those are the only two that come to mind

[mint owl]

Even with your reshade ?

Currently testing vanilla green Zone now

[mortal shuttle]

a reshade can only do so much, the environment itself just looks awful in those areas

[mint owl]

That was at Garbage

With Vanilla GAMMA

[vapid olive]

2 areas in Garbage I like - the hangar with some good light and the wood with the green anomalies. The trash hills always look ugly

[mint owl]

I manage to grab this one in the Hangar

[vapid olive]

that's the shit

[mint owl]

Now, I only have Autumn Repack & Winter to test with the Reshade

As far as I'm concerned, it did great with vanilla Green, Dead Zone & Golden Autumn

[mint owl]

Now that it's tested fully, I'm making juicy screenshots for the post

[mortal shuttle]

eden hyping this reshade up to be the best thing since sliced bread

[mint owl]

Definitely not as grand as anyone would expect xD

[vapid olive]

you heard it here folks - better than sliced bread!

[hollow pumice]

Ill slice your bread

[mortal shuttle]

i'll take a piece of that cake

[mint owl]

[dapper rivet]

whats your grass settings? looks stunning

[mint owl]

0.8 grass height, a bit more density, and grass shadows

(for grass shadows you need to edit your user ltx, with notepad++ or anything, r2_sun_details on and r2_grass_shadows_enabled on)

[vapid olive]

Gonna try the pack out this evening and will post screens

[dapper rivet]

if its not too much of a hassle, could you tell me what your grass density is exactly?

[mint owl]

Careful, grass shadows can impact fps, and you will see it draw in the distance, engine limitation

[mint owl]

Depends

Which pack will you be playing ?

I change my grass density according to the "season" I play and the pack

[dapper rivet]

Im guessing his one your using the default one packed with gamma in this one, which I use

the bottom one

[mint owl]

Oh, that one

Then grass height 1.0, and basically, move the slider until you like the result, it's hard to tell as there is no clear value

Maybe 0.9 would do

[dapper rivet]

r__detail_density in the console should give you it, but I think I'll stop harassing you with these questions now

[mint owl]

I could possibly answer better, I just need to be on my computer

[dapper rivet]

no problem, I maxed it out

[mint owl]

Maxed destroys fps and doesn't look good honestly

[mint owl]

r_detail_density 0.1
r_detail_height 0.9
r_detail_radius 150
r_enable_grass_shadow on
r2_sun_details on

These are the exact settings

When I play with base GAMMA and it's dead Zone

[dapper rivet]

thanks alot

[muted glacier]

Having a hard time catching up with the chat, but what's the difference between Eden's reshade and Apollo's?

Getting both now but not sure wht the diff would be and what to look out for before I change

And if I should delete shader cache to change from gamma reshade or majestic to the new ones

[vapid olive]

different settings that will achieve different looks mostly

[mint owl]

Apollo's Reshade is inspired by mine (as we both learned from each other) using his own sense of aesthetic, the result being his own, our two reshades are vastly different in terms of results, really it's down to your preference. Mine is based around adaptability, while Apollo's is based on giving a certain aesthetic

[muted glacier]

Oh I see, thank you for explaining. I'm using Apollo's right now and I like it quite a lot, and the Golden Autumn mod since it's the first time I'm using it and it looks great

[mint owl]

In the end, I suggest you take a look at what screenshots he posted recently, and what I've done as well

Oh, you did already x)

As long as you like the result, it's all that matter

[mint owl]

Also, always delete your shader cache when making a change of reshade or graphics

[muted glacier]

Ah yes I accidentally didn't read that at first but I did it anyway, thanks for letting me know tho

[mint owl]

Yeah, it will cause graphical issues if you don't x)

[muted glacier]

Hats off to both of you though, the results are pretty damn nice

[mint owl]

To be honest I'll be taking a look at his reshade for comparison purpose

I feel like we're pokemon versions here, Apollo is like Red and I am the Blue version or something

[muted glacier]

I have no idea what happened lol. I turned on "Turn this on if you stutter", launched the game again, more fps etc but game doesn't look nowhere near what it looked like right before with the reshade (I also ticked Delete Shader cache) etc.

Now I went turned it off and got back on and it's the same

[mint owl]

Oh yeah, one more precision, since mine is adaptive, there is no dark weathers

[mint owl]

Do you know where is the location ?

You were at ?

[muted glacier]

Dead City

[mint owl]

I'll check with his reshade and mine as well, that's odd

[muted glacier]

I mean even the interface

Even the main menu doesn't have all that vibe/bloom/blur/whatever the reshade gave it

[mint owl]

Oh, wait

[muted glacier]

Now this happened

I will assume me deleting the shader cache did it?

[vapid olive]

[mint owl]

Delete your shader cache again

[muted glacier]

Omw

[mint owl]

Quick question

Did you do something to your load order ?

[muted glacier]

Nothing at all

[mint owl]

How do you delete the cache ?

[muted glacier]

I typically just tick the box in the launcher

[mint owl]

Don't do that

[muted glacier]

I saw the instructions on the notepad

I didn't have the

Shader_cache folder where it was supposed to be

[mint owl]

In appdata ?

[muted glacier]

Ah it said gamedata in the thing

I deleted it before from the appdata folder tho to be sure

Deleted it again from there now. Will relaunch

[mint owl]

https://tenor.com/view/are-you-serious-spiderman-meme-laugh-laughing-gif-7178438

Ah yes Apollo messed up that line, should have added appdata

Gamedata is the global

Whenever you launch the game, it appears in appdata

Don't do it through the launcher

[muted glacier]

Ohh okk will do

Testing now

Same thing

After deleting it from the folder and relaunching, dx 11 ofc

Well I have 0 idea why that happened but I just re-copied the apollo reshade files back into bin again and overwrote and now it's fine

[mint owl]

Hmm, weird

Try to activate the sutter thing & copy the files back as well

[muted glacier]

I'll manage to fix it tho

All good now

[muted glacier]

Nvm actually in Stormy weather it goes to shit

[mint owl]

Question

[mint owl]

Did you put it through debug ?

Because debug storm is not, and never gonna be working properly when activated through debug weathers

[muted glacier]

OH I had no idea

[mint owl]

Storm weathers only works when they go naturally

[muted glacier]

That might be the case then cause I wanted to test storm weather without waiting dk how long

[mint owl]

If you want more, try setting them to regular in the settings

Like, put all others to none, & stormy weathers to regular 12h

[muted glacier]

Ah yeah I did that

[mint owl]

It should appear soon afterward

But might take some times

[muted glacier]

Tbh it should prob be fine now

Altho now I got your own reshade

[mint owl]

Oh ?

[muted glacier]

This is now with Apollo with Cinematic 02

This is with yours

[mint owl]

Quick question

Again

Did it adjust itself yet ?

[muted glacier]

What do you mean by adjusting itself?

[mint owl]

Ah, try setting a weather

And stand in your spot for about 20-30 seconds

I have a system that basically adapts the tonemap over time

[muted glacier]

I did that now

Haven't really noticed a diff yet

[mint owl]

So I should probably put the adaptation time to 0

Can you try something for me ?

[muted glacier]

Yeah what's up?

[mint owl]

Can you edit the ini file ?

[muted glacier]

Sure sure

[mint owl]

You should see adaptivetonemapper

[muted glacier]

ReShade.ini or which specifically?

[mint owl]

Nope, the one with my name

[muted glacier]

AH right

[mint owl]

That's the one that should be activated

In Reshade

In the adaptivetonemapper section, you should see adaptation time

0.500000

[muted glacier]

So we speaking about inside the ini file or in-game in the home menu?

[mint owl]

You can do one or the other

[muted glacier]

Cause in the ini I don't see any "adaptivetonemapper"

[mint owl]

If you ingame, just go into the reshade menu, adaptivetonemapper, and slide the 0.50 to 0.00

?

[muted glacier]

1 sec Monolith r4ped me

[mint owl]

Can I see your screen ?

[muted glacier]

I can come and stream it if needed

[mint owl]

Reshade menu

Sure thing

[muted glacier]

I'm on the lobby

[mint owl]

You downloaded the wrong one

?

This is the old one

[vapid olive]

aigh I am home and have time to experience the new sliced bread

[cloud island]

and how's basic gamma looking?

[muted glacier]

I can send pics of that too, that's what I've played on almost non-stop

Altho I feel like I fucked with the reshade folder too much today 😂

[mint owl]

Well, honestly, if you want to install mine, it really is a drag and drop bin folder, because that shot above is definitely not the one intended, because that's the old one

[vapid olive]

will post screens in a few

[muted glacier]

As I

As i've done

Gamma

Eden's Adaptive

Apollo C2

Not the greatest place for a pic or time but I mean yeah

I wanted to grind but ended up fiddling with reshades non-stop smh

[mint owl]

So, what's the place you did take this shot ?

[muted glacier]

Army Warehouse right south of Bloodsucker Village

Looking towards it

[vapid olive]

sooo

this, looks good

I like this @mint owl

[mint owl]

It's still not the proper result

[vapid olive]

same places/weather/time as yesterday Vanilla

[muted glacier]

Yeah I messed up stuff

[vapid olive]

Clear1 Morning, Noon, Evening

[mint owl]

That look amazing

[vapid olive]

your shaders + autumn weathers

[mint owl]

Glad it's working well

[mint owl]

Did you let it adapt ?

The light I mean

[vapid olive]

i sat there for a few minutes and dint move if you mean that

[mint owl]

Yeah, did it change anything on your screen ?

[vapid olive]

i do have to load your ini in reshade, right?

and i didnt notice any change - was also eating - sry let me do once more

[vapid olive]

tbh i dont see/notice any adaption - but i still think it's beautiful

[mint owl]

Okay, can you do something ?

Go to the reshade menu

Or the ini file

[vapid olive]

yes

[mint owl]

You should see adaptivetonemapper

You should see adaptation time in there at 0.50

Put that at 0.00

And reload it

Then go to weather, like for exemple rain 1 at 6am, and see what it does

[vapid olive]

clear1 at 7pm and rain1 at 6am

[mint owl]

That's the correct adaptation time ?

[vapid olive]

time is set to 0

[mint owl]

Okay, then that should be it

When you'll stop, it will use your whole scenery to adapt tonemap accordingly

I'll update the reshade link afterward

[vapid olive]

will try your ltx now

oh

that folder is empty

[mint owl]

?

Fuck

I'm going to update this shit once and for all

[mint owl]

Fixed now, redownload the thing, I put adaptation time to 0 and the user ltx file

[vapid olive]

I will do this at a later time unfortunately, RL calls and will keep me from Stalker for 1-2 days

but let me depart with: Your shaders look amazing, you did excellent work!

[mint owl]

Thank you ^^

And good luck with life x)

[lapis flicker]

im sure this is a no brainer but just to be sure... can i update to reshade version 5.3.0 with no issues?

[river flower]

Yes don't worry

If you know what you're doing, you can update it yourself

It's just something that Grok will update, sooner or later

It's a minor thing after all

[lapis flicker]

cool cool thanks for the quick response

[forest vortex]

so if i do a full update for gamma does it reset shaders to?

i was gonna put agressor reshade on top of gamma but wasnt sure if it would cause any issues since its older

[river flower]

It should

I'm not really sure of it

But doing it does no harm

!installer

[void depot]

Make sure you have the latest version you can find pinned in #📢announcements, it's 3.7

[river flower]

Update GAMMA data > Full GAMMA install

And let me know here if doing this reset your shaders

So I can add it to my mental knowledge

Because mods and settings gets resetted to default 100%

I don't know about shaders/Reshade

[forest vortex]

10-4! i installed apollos reshade but it wasnt what i lokking for so i was gonna do a fresh update and use agressor

will let u know

[mortal shuttle]

you shouldn't need to do any sort of updating to switch back to default gamma

just turn off my reshade and reenable the mods you disabled (if you did)

[forest vortex]

thats what i figure, i didnt knwo if the actual reshade file changes would do anything

but all good, ur reshade is really nice btw just not what i was looking for ❤️

update for u, yes it does reset all reshade files from what i see @river flower apollos ini is no longer there

[river flower]

Ah perfect, good to know

[river flower]

Can't catch FalcoEngine3000™️ lacking

[mortal shuttle]

[swift robin]

What reshade would you recommend? Something close to a more natural look.

[mortal shuttle]

majestic looks pretty natural

as long as you turn off the sharpening

[mint owl]

Honestly, majestic is more of an impressive look rather than natural, that would be base GAMMA reshade maybe ?

[mint owl]

Mode self-advertising [on] : You can check #🖇old-mods-posting and if you like the post I made, here you go, otherwise, yeah, you can try with others and see which ones fits best for you

[steady geyser]

Yeah, Majestic is very bright and saturated. GAMMA has a more natural look, although it leans a bit towards the orange side of things

Eden's is also absolutely worth a try, if you enjoy the GAMMA style more

[mint owl]

[mortal shuttle]

shameless

[mint owl]

Absolutely

[river flower]

Can't wait to try it

The GAMMA style is more on the "serious" and "dark" tone

While Majestic is much more colorful, saturated and bloomy

Which is good but it's too much

[mint owl]

And the installation is fixed now, no empty appdata folder because my dumb self forgot to put the user ltx in it x)

[mint owl]

Make sure you have the default setting, it happened to Koraxx above while making a comparison between mine and Apollo's reshade, but still used Apollo's settings for gamma & brightness, mine looked ugly xD

[river flower]

Yeah don't worry

[mint owl]

In a probably distant future, I'll provide one version for the Winter repack I use

[mortal shuttle]

talkin shit?

[mint owl]

https://tenor.com/view/cats-fighting-fighting-cats-anniehasleftoop-gif-23317332

Just saying that using mine after using your settings messed up the thing, since it makes it good on your but then mine becomes too bright, as well as using my settings makes yours way too dark, can't have both with the same settings

[mortal shuttle]

[mint owl]

I can shamelessly self advertise but talking down your work is not good for business xD

[mint owl]

I just had one guy reporting that he couldn't find the shader cache when following your instructions, you should probably add "appdata" in your readme just in case

[mortal shuttle]

I did

[mint owl]

He was using an old version then ?

"5. Delete your shader_cache folder inside Anomaly/gamedata."

That's what the one I downloaded says

[mortal shuttle]

I will fix

[mint owl]

[mortal shuttle]

I'll probably remove the requirement of majestic's effects as well

[mint owl]

It's okay, I forgot the user ltx on my first release xD

Why though ?

Not needed anymore ?

[mortal shuttle]

idk if anything in my reshade comes from majestic

[mint owl]

To me the effects used are actually in base GAMMA

From your reshade I mean

[mortal shuttle]

Yeah

[mint owl]

So yeah, Majestic would be useless

[mortal shuttle]

it's literally just file bloat

[mint owl]

My reshade folder is about 37mb

Barely more than Base GAMMA

Yours should be the same weight probably since you're not adding any new effects to the folder

[mortal shuttle]

[mint owl]

You know, I'm pretty sure you can work on it a bit more, making sure you don't even need any lumscale command or brightness/gamma manipulation

Just my two cents however

I like it when it's plug & play, typical consummer fashion x)

[mortal shuttle]

well then the reshade will looks miles different than intended for every user

unless I design it around having dynamic tonemapping enabled

[mint owl]

Like I did ? You could, it's a bit tricky to get right though x)

Second solution, providing the user ltx

I do have Dynamic Tonemap addon enabled

[mortal shuttle]

but user.ltx changes keybinds as well

unless I build it off a default user.ltx temporarily

[mint owl]

They should really just copy the "r_" part

[mortal shuttle]

[mint owl]

Yeah, the graphic part, r1-r2-r3

That stuff

[mortal shuttle]

but manual work is hard

[mint owl]

Manual work you already have

Inputing commands is objectively worse

[mortal shuttle]

true

[mint owl]

And I'm an Azerty user, even worse for me xD

Because the game use qwerty as a base

""

I cannot even do that sign in game

[mortal shuttle]

[mint owl]

Because the placement is elsewhere

I tried every single key

_

That one, I need to use two keys instead to get it

[swift robin]

Thanks for your reply! I assume that Gamma Weathers must be disabled?

[mint owl]

Not even needed, it really is just a reshade, but I use it with Golden Autumn weathers

[swift robin]

I am referring to the fact that Golden Autumn weathers could conflict with Gamma weathers, so Gamma weathers must be disabled. I am not a modder so i am asking to be sure.

[mint owl]

Ah, don't worry, no need to disable (unless you really feel better doing so), as long as Golden Autumn Weathers is loaded after/below GAMMA Weathers in MO2, you should be just fine

I usually don't bother disabling it and there was no issues

[pallid dagger]

anyone got some decent presets they're willing to share?

I am VERY inexperienced with reshade

[mint owl]

What kind are you looking for specifically ?

[pallid dagger]

Something a bit more vibrant, I like colorful fall ambience

[mint owl]

Do you use Golden Autumn pack ?

[pallid dagger]

Not familiar with it

Using default gamma currently

Been looking for stuff to visually overhaul it tbh

[mint owl]

I may have what you need

Possibly

I just cant link it with discord mobile for some reason

[pallid dagger]

Heck

[mint owl]

Try looking in #🖇old-mods-posting a reshade post I made 6 days ago

It's not far into the list

There is about 10 pictures below

If you like it, just download the Reshade and Golden Autumn Redux on Moddb

[pallid dagger]

Thanks!

Also any settings you reccomend on top of it?

[mint owl]

Honestly ? Just make sure you have the base GAMMA settings

1.2 gamma
1.05 saturation
1.0 brightness

I think this is the default ones ?

Just make sure you are using Golden Autumn Redux and you're good to go

Also make sure to delete your shaders cache before anything, if you start a game and it look overly bright or saturated, quit and delete it again

!cache

[void depot]

To clean your "shaders_cache", don't use the option in the Anomaly launcher.
Go in this folder: Anomaly\appdata, you'll find a folder called shaders_cache, delete this folder and launch the game normally from MO2, using your preferred DX.

[mint owl]

I've put my user ltx if you need to compare, it's not mandatory but if you want to play with grass shadows like I do you need to edit these two lines as well in your user ltx

r2_sun_details on
r2_grass_shadows_enabled on

(Maybe not the exact wording though)

[pallid dagger]

I'll experiment

Thanks!

[mint owl]

No problem

I'll help if needed

[pallid dagger]

Any reccomendations for foliage?

[mint owl]

Foliage ? Isn't it already in Golden Autumn Redux ?

That would be my best recommendation

If you want something more yellow, you can try Golden Autumn Retexture

If it's brown that you want, I suggest Simple Autumn Retexture Desaturated

If it's green, just disable Simple Autumn Retexture No Leaves, Gardener of the Zone & Grulag's Dead Bushes, to revert back to vanilla green, and you can use 22.Agressor Reshade in the load order (at the beginning, hence the 22) to go along with it

[pallid dagger]

That wasn't included in the thing you posted, only the weathers

[mint owl]

I know, that's why I wrote the description

To specifically say that it's only the weathers, and you need to download Golden Autumn Redux if you want the full setup

"Please keep in mind that I'm only providing the weathers, I do not own any assets in it.
The rest of the addon still needs to be downloaded in order to experience the same visuals as the screenshots below"

[pallid dagger]

Ah

[mint owl]

Yup

[pallid dagger]

My bad

[mint owl]

No problems x)

[pallid dagger]

I get weary about installing extra stuff when it comes to gamma

[mint owl]

The weathers is only provided if you want to use with another foliage mod

If you use Golden Autumn Redux, you don't need the weathers, as it's part of the whole package you will be downloading

[pallid dagger]

wait how do I install this

[mint owl]

01,02 & 04

Pick 03 ONLY if you want the main menu that comes with it

But without 04, it's gonna crash

Last reminder, before starting your game, delete the shader cache from your appdata folder

[pulsar tusk]

hello i have readed all your discussion and i kinda like how look this one. is there some mods to disable? and were goes Golden autumn into the load order? (i'm new to modded stalker)

[mint owl]

If you want Golden Autumn Redux, no need to disable any mods (although you can disable 241 - Simple Autumn Retexture No leaves, 242 - Gardener of the Zone Textures, and Grulag's Dead Bushes (priority 353 on the right column)). Place Golden Autumn Retexture at the end of your load order, just above the GAMMA Disabled section. Make sure to select option 01, 02 & 04.

Then, before you start the game, delete the shader cache by following the instructions below

!cache

[void depot]

To clean your "shaders_cache", don't use the option in the Anomaly launcher.
Go in this folder: Anomaly\appdata, you'll find a folder called shaders_cache, delete this folder and launch the game normally from MO2, using your preferred DX.

[pulsar tusk]

thx

[mint owl]

Should you want to use my reshade as well, simply drag & drop the bin folder from it into your Anomaly folder (but make a backup of it somewhere beforehand)

[pulsar tusk]

i have already done that part.

i'm just bad at adding stuff with mo2 by myself

[mint owl]

Ah, you'll get more experienced after a while don't worry

[pulsar tusk]

i'm not too sure about that. xD

[swift robin]

I totally missed this channel, and posted this in a couple of others not suited for the question. Apologies

but

The shadows in my game are literally pitch black. It happened when I used Enhanced Shaders with vanilla Anomaly, and I fixed it just by adjusting values in the console (e.g. lumscale_hemi).
Only problem is, every time I go to alter the values in GAMMA they just revert back after a few seconds. Anyone know how this can be fixed? Cheers.

[swift robin]

I've seen this, which is helpful, but I'm having difficulty finding how to alter the max hemi limit, or even where I can turn dynamic tonemap on or off

Just found it actually

Tweaking on MCM might solve this entirely

[umbral grail]

Someone know if textures on ram increase fps or not

the is a cmd called "ram_textures"

or something like that

I don't know if it affects the fps at all and if it does affect I would like to know if it is better to have it off or on

[mint owl]

You should turn this off in MCM

It's not gonna be doing anything if you tweak the settings there either

[swift robin]

Yeah it basically didn't

turned off and issue has been fixed

[raw heath]

anyone know what could be causing texture flickering near the corners of my screen

ill try and grab a screenshot

its usually right near the edges as I move the camera

[shrewd bramble]

Shadow?

Or ReShade ambient occlusion

I suppose something related screen space

[raw heath]

guess we will see

ill try moving stuff around

[shrewd bramble]

Are you using a helmet with a glass front?

[raw heath]

no helmet

[shrewd bramble]

Hmm, might be anti aliasing related but not sure

[raw heath]

ill try all the things

[shrewd bramble]

Someone with more knowledge will be answering you I'm sure

[mint owl]

Could you show a full screenshot with the issue ?

For the folder, please refer below

!screen

[void depot]

We can't really see the problem if you take a picture with your cellphone. If you have a problem you want to share with us, you can do the following, since we don't care about your second monitor or your desktop image:

1. Press F12 in-game, look in Anomaly\appdata\screenshots. If it's not there, look in your GAMMA RC3 folder, inside a folder called overwrite
2. Press PRTSC (Print Screen on your keyboard) open Paint, CTLR + V to paste the pic, save it, send it
3. Windows key + Shift + S, which let you choose what part of the screen you want to copy, it will directly copy the pic for you (Snipping Tool™️ is subject to Windows own settings, not game settings, meaning gamma, brightness, and colour balance will be different.)

[mint owl]

It will most likely be in GAMMA RC3/Overwrite/bin

[raw heath]

its the occlusion I think, what flickers is the shadow under the brush area.

I have graupel running

which I feel may be the culprit

looking directly on and moving around its fine

its when it gets near the corner of the vision area is flickers

[mint owl]

Is it the case with trees as well ?

[raw heath]

no just the ground

[mint owl]

Weird, didn't do that for me

So you tried disabling Graupel and see ?

[raw heath]

Doing that now.

Do you run yaml with it at all?

[mint owl]

Yaml ?

You mean yawm ?

[raw heath]

Probably messed that up yet another winter mod.

[mint owl]

I use all three mods

Mixed pack

[raw heath]

Ahh bits and pieces hmm.

[mint owl]

More like it yes, to reach a good balance

I posted screenshots if you want to see how it looks like

[raw heath]

Where do you usually put graupel in your load oder.

K I'll check.

[mint owl]

You need to go up a bit

I usually put Graupel just above the cinematic vfx particles addon in the load order towards the end

Also don't forget to delete the shader cache in appdata and not through the launcher

[raw heath]

Yeah I've been manually deleting it.

[mint owl]

"Simply disable Gardener of the Zone and Simple Autumn Retexture (No Leaves) add-ons and load Graupel just BEFORE/ABOVE Particles Cinematic VFX3.5 1.1.2 BOTZ YAWM"

It was the instructions for Project Inverno but will possibly work for Graupel too

[raw heath]

Yep I've got mine there.

[mint owl]

Have you tried moving it at the end just in case it works ?

Also, above not below

I think you got confused with before/above

[raw heath]

I've tried it with both :x

[mint owl]

Well, so you tried without and it's still doing it ?

[raw heath]

I remembered majesticfx had a fix for corner flickering. So it may be sss related.

Going to test it.

[mint owl]

Technically the fix should have been added to GAMMA already, not sure though

[raw heath]

Yeah didn't do anything.

So it's probably already in.

Think I'm just going to give up on graupel for now.

[mint owl]

Hmm, I can ask the creator, to see if he can help

[raw heath]

yeah I couldnt fix it, turned off reshades, lowered/raised shadows, turned on aa, tried changing ssr/ao

it might just be that winter mod is pretty old

[mint owl]

Graupel is quite new in fact

[raw heath]

I mean yet another winter mod, maybe the two just don't mix too well

[mint owl]

Oh, so you tried mixing them together hence the result ?

[raw heath]

yeah

[mint owl]

I pinged the author for nothing xD

[raw heath]

going to turn off winter

oop

im guessing they don't work together

[mint owl]

Well, I have another solution for you

I could give you my own repack

Mixing them all

[raw heath]

that would be great

I oc'd my system today so I should be able to handle most things

[mint owl]

Might take a while, I need to upload it on mega, you prefer dead trees though ?

[raw heath]

yeah, no need to take the performance hit

[mint owl]

Noted, I'll start uploading then

[raw heath]

appreciated

does it have a reshade baked in, or do you have one you prefer with it

[mint owl]

I could put mine in it, or you can have your own

[raw heath]

I don't have a dedicated one atm

I was using majesty but its suuuper bright

[mint owl]

Majestic is definitely not made for winter x)

[raw heath]

hah no

[mint owl]

Alright, I'll put that in the work

[raw heath]

thanks

[shrewd bramble]

What's your graphics settings

[raw heath]

most settings med/high besides grass/g shadows, actor shadows

screen shade lighting

I don't think its my settings

likely some mod incompatibility

[pulsar tusk]

don't you have forgotten to add modded exes? graupel at the bottom work fine for me

[hidden lynx]

hello, what configuration is better for the agressor reshade ?

[swift robin]

Hello, in my opinion it's one of the worst reshades for consistent gameplay. It might seem okay but later it will always be too bright or too dark at some point. It's kind of possible to tweak it yourself but it's not really worth the time or you'd end up disabling half of the shaders active.
I'd recommend trying Eden's adaptive reshade here:
#🖇old-mods-posting message

[frigid solar]

Hi, Grok
I need the EyeAdaptation.fx ReShade fx, but seems it does not work (does not show up) when I just copied it from another installation of Anomaly directly into:
X:\Gamma.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\bin\reshade-shaders\Shaders
Please, could you help me on how to get it correctly deployed?

[frigid solar]

all the appropriate entries in G.A.M.M.A ReShade.ini profile have been copied\pasted accordingly.

Still no result when the game loads up.

Please, help me! And maybe for the next update, please, consider EyeAdaption.fx!
This is crucial for realism!

[lusty compass]

^^

That would make the mod so much better.

[mint owl]

That's because effects sometimes require other effects to be loaded, if it appears in red, your cursor over it will tell you what you are missing

[mint owl]

On the other Anomaly folder, there are probably the effects you are missing

[frigid solar]

It does not appear at all in the list.
There is no indication for dependencies or something showing in red.

EyeAdaption.fx is a old time classic effect since ReShade v.2.x.x maybe even .v1.x.x, so it should be pretty common really.

Got it!!!

It turns out the above settings\amendment to the [reshade-shaders] folder
and to the 'G.A.M.M.A.Reshade.ini' file should be done to the according files inside the Anomaly folder (vanilla separate folder where Anomaly is not where Gamma is!!!)

it works baby!

just for the sake of "compatibility" I have done it in both locations.

[mint owl]

Yup, always been in Anomaly/bin folder for me

[feral gate]

Having issues with this god-awful sun glare making everything look snow white. I'm assuming it has something to do with the shader. Any Ideas?

[vapid olive]

looks like glossfactor

could be wrong

[slate sedge]

What reshade are you using? I've had a similar issue with Piknik but it usually goes away on its own after around 15 seconds

[mint owl]

Dumb one possibly but you deleted shader cache in appdata right ?

[merry current]

r2_gloss_factor 0.001
r2_gloss_min 0.5

type this in console

[glacial spear]

quite the mood

it's a nice reshade but those stutters damn. I am not sure if it is even fixable on my rig

[bold obsidian]

hello guys i am lost with reshade i did a mess in the settings and i think i createt a custom preset, now i can only see this custom preset and no other reshades, also i dont see any reshade filters in the menu, do i need to make a clean reshade install and how do i do that?

[glacial spear]

try copying the content of this folder .GAMMA RC3.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\bin into the gamma anomaly bin folder

it's where the gamma reshade install files are

[bold obsidian]

Ok thanks a lot, I will try that tomorrow thx

[mint owl]

When you create a custom preset it goes into GAMMA RC3/overwrite/bin folder, and Reshade then use this folder only, you need to change the path, read the path on your screenshot above and set it back to your Anomaly folder/bin

The reason why you're only seeing your reshade it's because it's the only one in the now main folder that is overwrite, follow the instructions I wrote above and cut/paste your reshade ini file to Anomaly/bin folder where GAMMA reshade initially is

[mint owl]

Lastly, the reason your filters are not appearing is because the reshade shaders folder is in Anomaly/bin folder as well, not in overwrite folder

[bold obsidian]

thx guys it worked, but now i have my last question, how do i update my reshade version in anomaly?

[cunning thistle]

[viscid harbor]

Sorry if this has been answered already, but how do I enable the Agressor reshade into the game? I enabled it in MO2 but it's not appearing.

[swift robin]

That's just the ground textures. You'd need to download the presets and shaders manually. But I don't recommend that reshade unless you really want to.

[dark oriole]

I really wish this engine had better AA 😩

[vapid olive]

turn off ingame AA and SMAA and do it via Nvidia panel - saves a few frames and looks better imho

[cunning thistle]

Reshade CMAA2x on top of that is nice too, not sure in which pack that is.

[swift robin]

Can you note the exact settings which to turn on? I've tried messing around before with no result.

[vapid olive]

your Nvidia panel? it literally says AA and SMAA

and no, am at work rn and there is no panel on these machines

[swift robin]

Yeah, the panel. Mine doesn't say exactly AA and SMAA. I've got a bunch of other settings there related to antialiasing. Well, I guess I'll have to search on YT for that.

[vapid olive]

AA is a blanket term

which one you use, is on you

nvidia panel usually offers FXAA and one or two others

each have their own ways of achieving AA

the panel even explains to you what it does and how

and if you still have analysis paralysis then try each one out and see the difference + performance

[swift robin]

I suppose the best way is to try them out and see how they work. Thanks 😁

[vapid olive]

yeah, i tried them all too. iirc i dont use FXAA

[swift robin]

From what I know FXAA can really blur the image

[vapid olive]

yeah its very inaccurate and tends to blurr the image

[opal stratus]

Guys, hello. Can anyone tell me how to delete preinstalled reshade? Not only switch off but exactly delete

[mortal shuttle]

why tho

[swift robin]

My reshade preset

[bold obsidian]

ok guys i dont know what i did wrong i had a reshade in my game and wanted to switch back to vanilla so a can try a new one. So i replaced my bin that i modifyed with my reshade with the vanilla one a made a copy from and now my game is black ^^. im lost hahahaha

how do i go back to the vanilla version without a reshade so i can try new ones?

[bold obsidian]

i also deleted the shaders cache and still this is how my game looks

[mint owl]

Well, I'm not sure to understand why you would replace the bin folder in the first place, you can change reshade between yours and any other, or just disable the effects from Reshade with the Page Up key. I suggest you keep your reshade ini preset somewhere safe and then restore the vanilla GAMMA bin folder with its preset, then copy yours back in

Now, to fix your issue, copy the user.ltx from inside the installer folder into your appdata folder

@bold obsidian

[mint owl]

If you want a better showcase of your preset, I suggest you try different weathers and time of the days, you can use debug mode to do so, it would be much better than just showing one sunny weather at one time

Because we can hardly see what your reshade is doing, I notice the difference for sure, but it should appear as well with other weathers/time periods

[swift robin]

Thanks for a advice

[glacial spear]

project quantum + abonrmal weather

[mint owl]

Do you have more weathers and different times ?

Looks interesting

[glacial spear]

it is definetly nice

nice sunshaft

[mint owl]

Thanks, I've tried it before actually but I settled back to normal weathers, the idea of abnormal weathers is welcome

[glacial spear]

just colors are a bit more vibrant on the display than one the pictures, I don't know why. maybe the reshade print feature

well I struggled a bit with the combo before getting it right

however these are taken from Dark Signal so maybe some textures or shaders are different from gamma but I had it set up on gamma and it looks just as good

[mint owl]

Discord is notorious for destroying quality

[glacial spear]

no no also on my pc when I see the pictures they are a bit washed out than when I see ingame

sometimes you encounter a lot of "white" weathers, where the sky is just white though

like efp

[balmy ravine]

abnormal weathers looks very cool I have to try them

[mint owl]

I think the reason why I didn't keep abnormal was because there were no proper transitions between the weathers

[glacial spear]

yes that I noticed too, hopefully the modder will work on it. Some skyboxes are also low res, that is even more jarring but are few

[mint owl]

I don't think this will ever be fixed considering that the author left such an obvious issue, that's probably intended

And yeah the resolution could be improved as well

That's why I settled with Golden Autumn Redux's weathers or Autumn Season Redux's weathers

More normal but clearly awesome

[balmy ravine]

I love gamma weathers personally. has good versatility, you can get it to fit well pretty much every textures pack

[mint owl]

The only thing lacking to GAMMA weathers is diversity and a proper moon imo

[glacial spear]

end of blowout - quantum reshade + abnormal weather

[potent skiff]

Vanilla gama reshade.
What should i change to make it look better?

[forest vortex]

any idea what causes my screen to change color spectrums depending on scopes as well as just random changing tones during weather

i turned off dynamic tonemapper and it still persists?

i sometimes get light shades of blue that change back after a few seconds while playing and it seems very out of place

[balmy ravine]

I believe this is an issue with certain areas I recall seeing this in vanilla anomaly

[forest vortex]

hmmm

i'd never seen it before and it was driving me crazy i swear i never had this happen except with gamma

[balmy ravine]

theres a reshade effect activated by default that play with colors dynamically also... forgot the name but it act strangely

[forest vortex]

hmmmm thats honestly probabbly it on top of things ive done

[balmy ravine]

Thats RTcorrectcolor and the lumafade things

[forest vortex]

ohhhhh

that makes sense thats the one thing from gamma reshade that i left ticked after i tweaked my reshade

The luma fade are actually not responsible I think but the RT correct color maybe does

[swift robin]

Well, it is very supjective. I would recommend to try out all avaible options

@potent skiff as a base you can use mine

it has a shader called "regrade" where you can adjust colors as you want

and also mine bloom effects (can be ajusted too)

Do you happen to know if I need to check "optional modded exe" as well? The mod is 1.5.1/1.5.2 compatible but I don't know if this optional thing it's "GAMMA compatible"

The mod works since it's already inside GAMMA, it's the new update, I'm using it right now

Pinging @astral kestrel because he 100% know this

[mortal shuttle]

That exe is for the rotating skybox patch that he did

I used it until I updated my gamma and it got overwritten and I just didn't bother to replace it again

[river flower]

So do I need it or not

[mortal shuttle]

No

When something says it's optional its probably optional

Fake HDR (it's basically a contrast filter, brighter brights and darker darks, makes nights darker and lights stand out and "glow" more, adds a small amount of saturation as a byproduct, and so on - you can play with it if the sky is too bright, or even lowering the in-game brightness alongside it helps), SMAA (works about as good as the in-game AAs and better performance, at least for me), Lumasharpen if you want to sharpen all textures (can combat fxaa if you use that, but smaa is ok), Technicolor (change the color spectrum), stuff like that.

EDIT ::: Oh crap, I misread your post and realized you were asking which stuff in the vanilla reshade to use. I somehow read that you meant what stuff on top of vanilla - sorry. I'll leave the post if you still want to try some extra things, but I didn't change anything with the vanilla reshade settings that're already on, so I don't know the answer to your actual question...sorry again, lol.

I played myself with a bit of a different bloom and ambient light. Though you can fall really fast in the "too much", but its all personal preferences

My SSR filter is somehow damaged and bugs around, is there a solution? I use the reshade version 5.2.1 and run gamma in vanilla.

[astral kestrel]

you mean SSR from reshade?

[marble hound]

yes

[astral kestrel]

i guess it will always 'break' and don't work perfectly since it aint that smart

it affects whole screen

its a reshade

[marble hound]

ah, ok

[astral kestrel]

you already have SSR from SSS addon in vanilla gamma

[glossy elbow]

Im on a potato pc

i didnt installed the agressor in the first place

[swift robin]

hey does anyone have some extremely moody reshader things?

[slate sedge]

I'd try this: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/autumn-season-redux

It's in the additional addons channel so it can work with GAMMA

supposed to give you a moody horror vibe, I tried and liked it but I prefer a wintery zone
