well ill go for like the wintery thing

#

do you have anything like that?

slate sedge
swift robin
#

thanks

slate sedge
#

it's LEAGUES better than all the other winter mods, and compatible with all of them, so I usually play with YAWM, Graupel, and Inverno all at once, idk what the difference is between using them all or just graupel is, but I do know its pretty as hell

swift robin
#

i will definitely try it out when it turns winter lol

flat thunder

swift robin
#

i tried making the thing look like winters in nyc lol

#

dead grass and dead tree

slate sedge
# swift robin yo man thanks for the thing

Of course, I had heard about it and was frustrated I could never find it on moddb, so after the creator (whose active in the discord and loves positive feedback i think) posted some pics i shill for it as much as possible so other people dont get lost searching for it like me

#

the creator even used real pictures of the exclusion zone in winter as reference images when creating the specific look which I just love

swift robin
slate sedge
# swift robin yeah man its so pretty thank you for reccomending me it

Not sure what mod settings you're specifically using, but just wait till you get to see snow sweep across the Great Swamps while that big ass church slowly appears out of the fog, I've said it before but that moment for me was quite literally the most badass I've ever felt playing any stalker game

slate sedge
# swift robin wow

Last thing, make sure to keep an eye in #🖇old-mods-posting for any updates to Graupel, since those do occasionally come out. I know a new blizzard weather was in the works, not sure if that's out yet

following the instructions is enough however consider that it relies on shaders from other authors that he has packed into his own addon but I don't know if they have been updated since then. Most of those shaders are already in gamma though so you could ingore them and use gamma shaders as is. here's the quantum shaders I have repacked into a mo2 addon

#

just put those shaders at the bottom of the mod list.

#

I have ignored his texture pack altogether

#

or you can jus t follow his guide strictly, it's very subjective and depends on rigs. you can easily remove everything in case you don't like it

#

Why is Quantum not part of Gamma, it looks really nice?

balmy ravine
#

badly optimised; eye burner; fuck up the hud

hollow pumice
#

300% bloom = good graphics i guess

viral spindle
#

Modern AAA game dev mindset

swift robin
#

and also, literally all mods in the pack are already in GAMMA

#

and lastly, I can creat a much better looking reshade preset @analog ocean

#

take a look

astral kestrel
#

finally, merged expedition + gamma + expedition + expedition

#

Ok that looks dope.

I wouldn't play like that but the screen grab is pretty.

indeed all reshades are a matter of personal tastes apart from the tecnichal shortcomings each one has. I have been trying your presets recently and for what I have seen (not much tbh) it's not that far from the default's gamma.

glacial spear
vapid olive
#

The balance with shaders is the crux mostly in my experience. make one ToD and weather preset nice, everything else looks shit kekw
I ran Gamma for quite a while and found it to be well balanced for all situations, now I run Eden's shader preset and rly rly came to like it

#

one thing I'd personally would change but as I have no skill with it, I aint complaining

glacial spear
#

lack of skills it's something that can be fixed as well but you have to be willing to trade it with your time 🙂

vapid olive
#

ye, i literally have not enough hours in my day unfortunately

glacial spear
#

indeed, sometimes you can choose to either play the game or tweak it. you cant have it both haha

swift robin
#

to disable ambient occlusion - click "end" button

#

to disable dof - click "" button

mint owl
#

On my actual version I actually added a bit of bloom

vapid olive
#

The clear nights have a wonderful color, but the moonlights is suuuuper bright and it makes some very strong shifts between lit/shadowy places. I'd have to make some screengrabs to show what I mean. it's not a big gripe, nor does it hinder me from playing in any way, just some stuff looks weird to my eyes. Overall i rly enjoy your stuff and always vouch for it!

thin oracle
#

guys which reshade is the best right now

vapid olive
#

for balance and performance, the GAMMA one is pretty good.

thin oracle
#

yeah but its looks like normal stalker

#

or are they nice setings for the gamma one ?

vapid olive
#

no kekw there is quite the difference to OG stalker.

thin oracle
#

there

vapid olive
#

in here you will find also some different presets for download

#

they achieve diffefent things, depending on your taste

thin oracle
#

are there settings for the gamma one ?

vapid olive
#

its reShade and in MCM you have adaptive tonemapping to play around with

#

pos1 for ReShade

#

MCM for adaptive

#

it only comes with the GAMMA preset by default

thin oracle
#

you have some good settings for reshade ?

vapid olive
#

just search this channel. Eden made one, Apollo made one and some others too

thin oracle
#

ok thank you

vapid olive
#

i run Eden's right now and like the clarity and colors

#

this is with Eden's

analog ocean
#

@swift robin Like your preset looks really nice

#

@swift robin how do you install a new preset? Yours looks really clean

glacial spear
#

and copy his reshade files in the same bin folder

#

actually leave the d3d9.ll and dxgi.dll as is since his zip only contains the inis and the shaders

ember plinth
#

@glacial spear thx

glacial spear
#

make a backup of the bin so you can put back the gamma presets just in case

#

also the original gamma presets can always be found in this folder .\GAMMA RC3.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\bin

glacial spear
#

project quantum+ abnormal weathers. Nice how the mood and tones can change at dusk . rif pictures in CNPP

ember plinth
glacial spear
#

I think it's from abnormal weather. Give it a go if you want but you have to keep it on for a while and give it time to cycle the weathers until you can see what it offers.

#

I made a mistake, the reshade is project quantum, not phantom. I guess I felt haunted in CNPP

ember plinth
#

I tried to install the preset following your instructions before, but one of the shader was missing/not working. Maybe I should update reshade to 5.3.0.

#

saving the directory Bin was a smart advice

glacial spear
#

that one does not compile and is not even used by the mod author, also I have seen that shader not compile from other reshades too

#

these are my presets where I tried to tone down the bloom and the blue tint. it's not perfect but I am not expert in these sort of things

ember plinth
#

same instructions I guess

#

I'll give a try after the "full install", thx again

glacial spear
#

In this case, just drop these presets in the bin and add abnormal weather to the load order, at the bottom is fine. the only thing left to tweak is the lumscale settings and r__ params (brightness, contrast and gamma) to your liking

past phoenix
mint owl
ember plinth
#

@glacial spear I'm not able to replicate the same "style" it does look to bright and bloomy. But thx your preset I slightly modified the base gamma one to my liking. I've pitch black nights now, a dream become true. Do you know if there is a way to increase the sunlight strength without touching contrast or brightness? I would like to pump it a bit to achieve a natural light

#

that s the sun at 2pm in a cloudy day, it doesn t feel right

glacial spear
#

It depends on time of the day. When it's foggy or midday you might have that whiteish look although for me it's been a while since I've encountered also I suspect the map will influence the type of weather you get. That is why I said, if you decide to try, keep it on for a while so to that the weathers cycle. You can also try only the abnormal weather mod and use the Gamma shaders

glacial spear
#

When I am back to my pc I'll share my user.ltx so you can copy over the renders parameter values to your ltx and see if that helps with project quantum shader

ember plinth
#

the screenshot I linked are from the modified base Gamma reshade profile + "vanilla" weather and honestly I really like the way they look. Gonna try the parameter you suggested to pump the light a bit

#

I used to work as a photographer and I own a SpyderX pro (colors calibrator tool). Most of the time the reshades profile posted doesn t "work" at all on my screen. I had to tweak even the vanilla Gamma one

glacial spear
#

I once tried to calibrate my monitor through some webapp and really I could not get my head around. I think I got used to the shitty colors of my monitor or factory presets, whatever, that now I completely ignore this side of things

ember plinth
#

@glacial spear is not a software, is a physical tool that you attach on your monitor and it auto calibrate your profile around the light in your room. It s made so the picture on your screen are 1:1 with the one you print

balmy ravine
#

You can try to lower tonemap lowlum for a slightly brighter image, and vice versa. But I believe its already pretty low on daylight with the dynamic tonemap gamma use

ember plinth
#

@balmy ravine i'll try it too, thx for the advice

balmy ravine
#

If you havent payed attention already you'll see that most console command are dicted by this dynamic tonemap thing, its possible to set it up via the mod options in main menu 👍

ember plinth
#

@balmy ravine what I'm looking for is a command to increase only the sunlight. If i touch brightness or contrast is gonna alter the "pitch black night". If you take the image I posted and rise the contrast or brightness your not gonna see anything in the dark part (but maybe the mask distorted layer). That how you achieve pitch dark "perfection"

glacial spear
#

I might talk bullshit but I think some sunlight settings might also be backed in the weather type config files

balmy ravine
glacial spear
#

in my experience lumscale affect how far the sunlight affect props at distance, for instance the shadowing on the trees

ember plinth
#

@balmy ravine that sun screen shot is intentional if I look at the sun directly I get bright sun ray (there is an option in the setting for that, sun ray strength/distance or something like that, don t remember now)

#

@glacial spear @balmy ravine I'll try to tweak some setting later, thx for all the advices

balmy ravine
#

what I like with bloom is that with an high threshold for example you can get it to improve your sky without breaking something else. Let us know how it looks if you get to something better 👍

glacial spear
balmy ravine
ember plinth
#

no offence, but I hate bloom with my soul kekw

glacial spear
ember plinth
#

@glacial spear @balmy ravine btw if you wanna try my setting, use the vanilla GAMMA preset, change the screen setting to 0.9-1-1.3, add fake HDR change Radius one to 0.876 Radius two to 0.805, and (but this maybe is to dark on a non calibrated monitor) change contrast (the one in reshade) from 0.140 to 0.684/0.772. - Edit forgot about using both Volumetric and screenspace to squeeze out most light possible

glacial spear
ember plinth
#

if the lumascale thing work if think I'll lower this "change contrast (the one in reshade) from 0.140 to 0.684/0.772" cause it alters the colors, but it was the last parameter that I could change to achieve true darkness without breaking black/green spot

#

@glacial spear I think the light is too bleached out, dunno if you understand what I mean. English is not my first language. But again that could be how I see it on my screen. on yours could be perfectly fine okaycatcry

glacial spear
#

I know bleached out meaning. I understand the reason why you don't like it. I do as well that is why I tried to reduced it to a certain extent, however with those reshades there will be some weathers setup that will have it no matter what, at the end I just took it as a type of weather. Sometime when I spend days in the dark my house playing games or working and I get out outside I see the same effect so it is working as intended I guess. haha

ember plinth
#

@glacial spear till now the only consistent weather is clean night sky (for what I'm trying to achieve), so I'm working on that. Cloudy sky around 2/3 pm is ,imo, the best to tweak light setting, if that looks good enough, everything else (day time) should be fine. Also remember to delete the cache folder everytime

glacial spear
#

everytime you change the reshade-shaders folder you mean or everytime you modify the preset within values?

ember plinth
#

when you change the reshade folder is a must, but honestly I do it regardless just to be sure my setting are correct

#

This is X Ray engine afterall kekw

ember plinth
#

@glacial spear @balmy ravine I think I'm done

glacial spear
#

feels to dark to me, how are you going to play?

ember plinth
balmy ravine
#

Thats very dark indeed. U gonna use some batteries for torches and nvgs yup

ember plinth
#

the nvgs are there for

balmy ravine
#

I guess we all have different screen afterall, I couldn't play like that with my poor tn panel

#

very bad contrast and color

ember plinth
#

last thing I'm going to do is to calibrate each color, already decreased red tint a bit

#

it is just "all black" for you?

balmy ravine
#

Almost xd

#

I can still see in those black a little bit

ember plinth
#

I see. That s the same reason why I can t use presets made by you okaycathappy

balmy ravine
#

best config is always the one you did for yourself in the end

ember plinth
#

the big problem I had was I could see a lot of red/green spot in dark areas, it was driving me crazy

#

but I guess that was just a me problem, cause only I can see it lol

balmy ravine
#

Thats why I disabled colorcorrect in reshade or smth like this

#

also removed that red tint u speak about that I dont like either

ember plinth
#

really thx both of you for the help

balmy ravine
#

If you're speaking about color banding (for the colored spots in dark) might be because of too high gamma also

#

for further tweaking I like to get my gamma at 1. ig and play with the shaders_param commands

ember plinth
#

in the end I used filmictonemap and Lumasharpen to squeeze out more light without killing everything else

balmy ravine
ember plinth
#

@balmy ravine Hip is using the torch inside the building POGGIES1 (look at the time) we can t notice that usually I guess, there is no way the AI is adapting to a reshade preset. This is the actual right light GrokChadGAMMA

#

actually all the NPC are lighting on their torches when walking inside the not illuminated building (1 PM) POGGIES1

#

@glacial spear check this

glacial spear
ember plinth
#

@glacial spear I honestly think that's how the game is supposed to look, I refuse to believe Xray can do that

glacial spear
#

why on earth they use the torches at 1pm?

ember plinth
#

cause inside is dark

glacial spear
#

how do they know?

ember plinth
#

as soon as they exit the building they turn it off

glacial spear
#

uhmm

Been looking for a reshade that captures this same feeling. I loved how indoor places with no windows would still be pitch black.

Welcome to a look at the Remake mod (v2.0) for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat. I run through a brief description of the mod and then show the installation process for those new to modding Stalker. Finally, I throw in a few minutes of gameplay to show a little of what is on offer here. Recorded and uploaded at 1440p 60fps.

Credit and thanks go...

Looking for a profile or suggestions for how to tweak reshade and any other visual settings to achieve a somewhat more 'vibrant' and more 'alive' looking outdoor areas in general. I've already tweaked weather, but looking to liven things up a little more. Any suggestions?

hi, sorry if it is a dumb question, but how do i get Agressor reshade to work? i cant seem to select it in the HOME shaders menu and i do have it selected in mo2

hollow pumice
#

gotta reinstall it

glacial spear
#

yes the addon in MO is not the reshade but just ground textures, you have to install it by yourself and replace it with the gamma reshade presets

atomic hemlock
#

hello i have experimented with some shaders, however after going back to the standard gamma reshade everytime when a lightning strikes appears my screen looks like this and it wont go away, anyway to fix this? i already copied the bin folder provided in the gamma installation into anomalys bin folder

past shuttle
#

!cache

void depotBOT
#

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.

atomic hemlock
#

still the same sadly

atomic hemlock
#

did a re-install via the installer still the same

#

in the reshade UI there is a error that "grainspread.fx" did not load

#

overall my game looks way too bright right now, and when i reenter the weather editor the white from the lightning disappears until the next lightning

glacial spear
# atomic hemlock did a re-install via the installer still the same

I think you can ignore that error because I found it in mostly all reshade packs out here. I doubt that effect is even used anywhere. If deleting the cache does nothing, try replacing both the user.ltx from the gamma default one (.\GAMMA.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\appdata\user.ltx) and the gamma default reshade files (.\GAMMA.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\bin) or simply the whole bin folder. Remember to delete the cache before launching the game.

#

The only update process that will reinstall the gamma reshade files automatically is the "Full Installation", which you can avoid if you do as above.

potent burrow
#

Any reshade preset recommandation for wintery zone with Graupel ? :)

atomic hemlock
#

can i manually reinstall the game again and keep my save game somehow?

glacial spear
#

sure you can

#

what did you change anyway? maybe is some weather mod you have added

#

you want to wait to do a full reinstall again however because you will be banned from modbd. I don't know the time interval to avoid being banned maybe an hour. you could ask in #old-only-installer-support channel

atomic hemlock
#

i really dont know i think i might have added some textures from the "abnormal weather" mod by accident into gamedata

glacial spear
#

do you have the same effect if you launch the game without reshade? just remove both dll from the bin folder and reshade is not activated

atomic hemlock
#

will have a look one minute

glacial spear
#

don't add stuff in gamedata in the anomaly install folder

atomic hemlock
#

which dll do you mean i have more than 2

mint owl
glacial spear
#

if that is the problem maybe you can replace all the anomaly files, just copy over the gamedata from anomaly 1.5.1 and 1.5.2 patch in this order

atomic hemlock
mint owl
#

It's something unsolved in Anomaly itself

atomic hemlock
#

oh

#

but the game generally seems to be to bright from the get go

mint owl
#

Only way to get normal stormy weathers is through normal ingame hours

#

You can set stormy weathers to be much more frequent however

glacial spear
atomic hemlock
#

i used the standard gamma reshade and it looks stangly "washed out"

mint owl
#

Gamma Reshade does not aim for pretty graphics but rather consistency, I made my own adaptation of it

glacial spear
#

well the argument has moved from fixing a bug to flavour of reshades

#

I am confusede

mint owl
#

Technically the right channel then

#

x)

atomic hemlock
#

so if a storm happens normally ingame the bright white lightning wont appear?

glacial spear
#

you take over then 🙂

mint owl
#

Also, don't even think of using weather editor to edit a weather without disabling Dynamic Tonemap in the MCM

atomic hemlock
atomic hemlock
#

alright thats good to know

#

would you mind sharing your reshade?

mint owl
#

As far as I know, it's Anomaly related, but no real answer on it, only happen if using storm 1 & 2 with Debug Weathers

glacial spear
#

@mint owl question for you - do you know how these params are calculated in user.ltx and what they are for?

#

the shader params

mint owl
atomic hemlock
#

do you know where in mcm the dynamic tonemap is located?

atomic hemlock
#

nvm got it

glacial spear
mint owl
#

Since it can cause black screen issues in game

glacial spear
#

ok, they are not the default gamma though, I think I have changed them from somewhere, I use these values for the quantum reshade

#

just curious about them

mint owl
#

I'm keeping these and usually just modify my reshade accordingly

@mortal shuttle I was looking at this again, is SSDO needed?

do ya'll prefer agressor to normal gamma? can't find any comparisons

Gamma reshade is very balanced for looks on all weathers/times and good for performance

i switched to a different preset but kept ReShade and adaptive as I like it a lot personally

actually wait it seems the agressor in the mod manager is just weather/textures

floor textures, yes

for what I can see gamma uses soundscape overhaul 3, When I try to install majestic weather fx there is a patch there for SCO 3, thunder patch. However when I add this patch the game won't launch, with this error [error]Expression : <no expression>

Hey sorry for the dumb question, but if I want to improve Gamma's graphics, are reshades the way to go? Or are there recommended mods for that? I came to Gamma directly from Expedition 2.0, and the drop in visual quality is very noticeable unfortunately.

balmy ravine

balmy ravine
#

when it comes to shader/weather GAMMA is well equipped already

#

theres a lot of thing possible... If your not too comfortable with those graphics mods I believe Graupel is pretty much plug and play, just search for it on the discord

Some use majestic, autumn redux, gtr... theres a lot in reality lol

# stoic leaf Hey sorry for the dumb question, but if I want to improve Gamma's graphics, are ...

"A lot of people here ask if you can play Expedition 2.0 with G.A.M.M.A. And yes you can.
And i helped them in DMs how to do it and i think the best thing will be a post here for everyone.
I am not the author, just someone who tried to make it work without problems with G.A.M.M.A for personal use. 🙂

It's literally just unpacking and removing excess stuff and using the full visuals that expedition offers.
Yes, there is a graphic only download on moddb. But i can't help myself but it doesn't look like a full modpack graphic.

**Step 1:
Content in appdata folder (User.ltx) drop into Anomaly/appdata (Contains default Gamma keybindings and expedition shader params)
Content from reshade folder replace in Anomaly/Bin (Make backup of your bin)

Step 2 : In Mod Organizer 2 click install a new mod from archive and install it and load on the end.

Step 3 : Disable following mods : Skies redux, Beef's NVG and G.A.M.M.A Weathers (Yeah unfortunately Beefs nvgs not working with EXP shaders )
Optional disable : Simple Autumn Retexture No leaves, Grulag's Dead Bushes, Gardener of the Zone Textures and Dynamic tonemap addon (I dont like it somehow )

Step 4 : Delete shader cache and enjoy **

Note : You can use GTR textures just dont install shaders from GTR"

I am as well been using Expedition graphics assets in gamma (by the way, on modb has been sneaky dropped version 2.1 in the last page of comments). Anyway just for the sake of it, I have also imported their textures (at the moment am I keeping them on low priority so everything gamma takes over mostly guns and items ui). I wondered whether their shaders were optimized (or works) specifically with their own textures so I decided to use it. What do you think, I am definetly no expert of such things? Am I overthinking?

do you know how to install mods on MO2?

yeah i find it out but for the final step i dont know what to do

and do step 3

#

delete shader cache?

where i delete shade caches ?

#

yeah

glacial spear
#

go in anomaly/appdata delete shadercache folder

#

ohh okay thanks !

#

oh it is weird because i dont have any shader folder in my anomaly appdata folder

#

maybe i should launch the game once ?

west summit
#

i didnt have any problem so guess it is okay

glacial spear
#

yes, it means this is the first time you launched anomaly

The problem with Expedition weathers is their implementation of fog with sunflares alongside night and moon flares. In my opinion it is ugly. I don't have screenshots unfortunately but if you find out that, just like me, you don't like it but you do like everything the shaders have to offer then here's what you need to do.

where are these sweet sweet presets?

Unless you made your own, in that case, it's gonna be located in GAMMA RC3/Overwrite folder

ehm help please

# wide axle ehm help please

3 things that come to my mind 1) your reshade installation is not correct (reinstall gamma one) 2) you added new shaders in gamma or removed gamma ones (disabled in MO) 3) your shader cache is inconsitent (delete it)

To clean your "Shader 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.

#

didnt work i copy pasted patch data from gamma installer

#

worked

steady owl
#

Btw Any idea how to install the expedition visuals in Gamma? lurking

glacial spear
#

I made a custon installation for gamma which include the textures, the shaders and the weather config

#

in three different packages because each one goes into a specific spot in the load order

#

I have also abnormal weather included so you need another patch to have both running

#

I will suggest to download the whole expedition2.1 install files and create the above addon from there

steady owl
#

It looks really good is there a way you could guide me to do that ? I really like gamma but visually I prefer more supernatural vibrance and gloom

glacial spear
#

do you know how to create mods from files that you can install in MO and add to the GAMMA loadorder?

#

well ok I woud need to explain a lot with the help of some pictures also. I shall make a guide for it, hopefully tomorrow if you can wait

steady owl
#

That would be great maybe it'll help other people too. take ur time man and thanks a lot for being an absolute chad

#

I still got other stuff to tweak for gamma to be the way I like my stalker experienceto be before starting a playthrough

glacial spear
#

yeah, I know, that some people would like to see how it looks at least, so this guide will be worth the time to make it

It's just vanilla gamma plus the graphic upgrade from expedition, however it has to be said that not everything is perfect and polished (as currently in Expedition 2.1) so you have to expect some inconsistencies

i think im having issues with gardner of the zone

everything looks so barren

glacial spear
#

it's vanilla but I have expedition textures on top but I don't know if those change the vegetation

steady owl
#

bruh you should submit it to Groks to make it part of vanilla gamma

#

Ur teasing me can't wait to try it out

glacial spear
#

it's from another mod I am not sure whether would be even possible also is a visual mod so not to everyone taste

steady owl
#

maybe as an option so everyone can choose but i think it really is a vibe

#

especially since ur version is not overdone in the bloom departement

#

its mystical but still realistic

swift robin
#

there was a majestic guide for it to work with gamma yeah?

#

any of you know how to make it work? and does it conflict with michikos weather?

I just got the mod pack and I'm impressed with all of it only played cop in early 2000s

@mint owl I'm sure you or Apollo made a "guide" or something for Majestic back in the day

oh yeah, my specs

they dont conflict?

with anything?

here's what it should look like

can you give me a visual enhancement guide?

what I should enable / disable for best visuals - stability ratio?

#

MCM and in game

#

I heard falcon made a fps guide but

#

it looks like crap so I dont use it

#

a singleplayer game should look GOOD yknow?

mortal shuttle
#

i mean the game doesn't run well no matter what you do unless you have insane specs

river flower
#

I'm sure that even with insane specs the game would run badly

mortal shuttle
#

yup

#

old games perform poorly no matter what

#

@swift robin but you can alleviate some issues by reducing texture quality to half, turning off grass shadows and reducing grass density, turning off core 0, disabling fullscreen optimization, both of which have guides in either #╭📖faq and/or #old-framerate-optimisation

#

i don't have a guide to get the BEST possible visuals, but i do have a step-by-step guide to recreate one of my old graphics setups that i very much enjoyed here (shameless plug); #╟🎑reshades message

# river flower The game is CPU intensive, not GPU

Finally upgraded my Ryzen 1800x to an Ryzen 5700x without changing my MB. So yeah, 5700x is dancing around my old cpu and got me 10-20 fps more and a much smoother experience. Next Step: GPU Upgrade, but iam waiting for release of the new generation.

My Reshade seems to do some of it, I'm using the Agressor preset with some changes and if I turn it off I get about 10-15 more FPS

#

trying to figure out what part of it does that so I can disable it tbh

unless you decided to by a ryzen threadripper or something

I mean the Ryzen 9 5900x is kinda nuts though

swift robin

I'm about to get a 5600x, can't wait for the general performance boost

raw heath
#

I'm using a 5600x, and get about 90-110 fps

past shuttle
#

Iam not kidding you. Without any Reshade i get on my 5700x and my trusty 1080 gtx 80-100 FPS. Depends on the used reshade i get around 60-80 fps. With some heavy reshade like majestics presets it drops to 40-45. With Apollos Reshade i get around 70-80 fps which feels great.

#

PPFX SSDO in some reshade setups eat up to 15 fps on my side.

junior basalt
glacial spear
#

however the installation of expedition as in my guide is only needed so the tool that does the merge can find all the files from expedition it needs. You are going to play still GAMMA (and Anomaly 1.5.2) with just the exped. visuals (shaders, some textures and the weather)

junior basalt
#

ok thank you

And it's well worth it

#

Still got some tweaking to do for it to look perfect

steady owl
#

Btw runs great as well 10 to 15 FPS raise ❤️

#

Thank you so much for this @glacial spear

glacial spear
#

the main hassle though is to maintain the GAMMA Exp profile in MO as you update the GAMMA mods. Some shaders improvement from community won't be available until the guy updates his (which are based on) but anyway most of his exp shaders are customized so it's hard to tell what is best. I guess preferences or somebody who has really good eyes. The fact that seems to be fps improvements while still looking good with no reshade filters makes it worth to try

steady owl
glacial spear
#

Yesterday release contains the updated guide with a basic tutorial on how to synch the GAMMA EXP profile when you do a GAMMA update. Try to do the update now and I can help if you need

it was in prep for a long time but it should be in the current update yes

but imo gamma is well provided in shaders etc already

acoustic zenith

I think something in the new shaders is controlling the brightness, it has no effect when I the slider, gamma and saturation work fine though. I'm using Apollo's reshade, and then I type his luminosity settings into the console, it brightens for a couple seconds and then gets dark again. Playing at overcast requires a flashlight. I'm going to try launching with the new gamma shaders disabled and report back

How do you install new reshades to Gamma? Everytime I try add the mod to the MO2 it says its incorrect and probably wont work

Hey all 🙂 I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for reshades that make details a little more contrasted or visible? I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for, but I just reinstalled windows (and am almost done the install for gamma) - I had played on Linux and was unable to do any reshades. Maybe I just need glasses, but I found details at a distance really hard to differentiate.

# slate lily just better looks

My honest advice (I'm a noob with shader stuff) is either a, play with it to see what does what (you will break something so be ready for that) or b research what the effects each mean. You can do some really cool stuff with shaders but it is honestly a skill. Alternatively you can find a preset

maybe do a backup in MO2 before installing any shader can help if we can meet any problem reliated with shaders ?

how to enable debug?

Through the Anomaly Launcher

You activate it once there, and then you can launch through your usual DX11 or 10 or whatever x)

what do you want me to set it to?

Oh, no, just tell me what time of the day you have and the weather to get the same you had on your picture above

actually 1830

mint owl
#

Closest to yours is this one

dusty swallow
#

hmm your arms look blue/black

If you want to test your Reshade through everything, try setting it against all weathers (not storm ones because they are buggy through the debug weathers) and many time of the day

balmy ravine
# mellow tundra i have mine on medium with my view turned down all the way

Use default gamma settings at base and work your settings from there. Some options are ticked/unticked for a reason, so I'm not sure using the ig graphics presets is relevant. Personally I just up the grass, put grass shadows and more AA. Basically everything that is NOT recommended lol, but thats what make the game look better imo

#

Additionaly you can try different textures packs

@mellow tundra i get a consistent 85+ in most places

No shit

You can't compare Anomaly and GAMMA

GAMMA is 330 mods on top of Anomaly

Anomaly is just Anomaly

It's obvious that Anomaly will run better

The only thing you can do with GAMMA is lowering stuff in settings

as you can see it also goes over text, this one in particular is MC_SSAO.fx but i've seen it happen to other ones as well

#

if i want to install another reshade, will i need to uninstall the one that its already installed, right?

worn bough
#

I need help with that too actually

vivid spoke

#

Cant you install them using mod organizer? I tried to install some but it keeps saying their structure is wrong

vivid spoke
#

Read the description where you have found your reshade or look for a readme. Reshade are copied direcly in your Anomaly bin folder... So you can't use MO2

#

It's why i said make BACKUP.

worn bough
#

Thanks, it worked for me, im not too familiar with modding but in the past I just installed the reshades using mod organizer I swear lol

we have improved ssdo and great screen space shadows

Then use ssdo on high. It is improved by SSS iirc and should be the one to use (should be gamma default)

I'll try that

in this case it's ScreenSpace Shaders

Was it the case before you applied the Reshade or it was normal ?

unkempt wigeon
#

it was normal

#

and when i switch back to Gamma it works fine

#

just seems to be an issue with piknik

#

now unfortunately in an attempt to do some tweaks i messed up my entire reshade folder so im currently clean installing lol

flat phoenix
# unkempt wigeon

my game looking way too bright/white/washed out is almost always going to be PPFX SSDO. next time you have an issue like this try unticking and ticking everything to find the culprit. if you did that then idk

swift robin
#

can someone name a good reshade to use?

vivid spoke
#

Those in Majestic Weather are not bad.. With some tweak

Hey, does anyone know why the depth of field setting doesn't want to apply in the current gamma version ? Maybe a forced setting in the reshade ?

how to clear shader caches?

river flower
void depotBOT
#

To clean your "Shader 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.

thank you

if i am using aggressor reshade, should i disable the ssdao thingy?

#

Thank you ^^

Idk how to make the game look clean and clear. I try messing with the reshade but it doesn’t help much. My game looks very dark and kind of blurry with a muddy look to it. I’m using Autumn gold with expedition graphics and I can tell if I just get the proper reshade it’s gonna look fantastic

I'm using the normal aggressor preset, but I'm just curious -- in simple terms, do you mind going over what your modified version changes? I like the look but I have no idea how it is different from mine XD

#

When I mean simple terms I just mean like... "brighter indoors" and so and so

remote geyser
#

now I've changed "Precision" to 3 in Adaptive Tonemapping

#

image looked too dark in Agroprom druing dusk evening

#

generally - I change stuff as I go

#

Aggressor was too green for me so I corrected that

#

film grain is a big no no for me too

#

Chromatic abberation fives a little bit of that crispiness to it as well

#

if that makes any sense \O.o/

sour oar
#

Amazing thanks

remote geyser
#

I guess it'll change as I go forward

sour oar

It's enough for me though :D

So thank you

#

any idea what reshade setting causes clouds to do this?

celest ferry

how can i fix this??

# celest ferry how can i fix this??

Try reinstall GAMMA reshade

There is the backup files you have downloaded with the gamma mod pack
...GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches

#
  • Delete GAMMA .INI

  • And delete reshade folder.

  • Replace folder & INI from backup.

mint owl
#

From what I can see, that's not the regular G.A.M.M.A. Reshade

#

I don't think it's actually really important at it's not gonna be used in the Reshade, at least I think, otherwise its author would have provided a guideline

celest ferry
#

i mean i have no problems with the game looks, i was just wondering if those are important files or sum xD

mint owl
#

Have you tried deleting reshade shaders folder and any file used by your reshade folder ?

celest ferry
mint owl
#

Maybe your Reshade was made with a specific version of Reshade, what files do you have in it ?

#

The one you want to add

celest ferry
mint owl
#

Oh

#

I guess that's good then x)

celest ferry
#

thanks my brothers stalkerpeepohappy

vivid spoke
celest ferry
#

that sounds useful, ill keep it mind when trying weather stuff

#

thx again peepopray

mint owl
#

Yup, everytime I do a full reinstall, I make a backup of my appdata folder as well as my bin folder

celest ferry
#

anyone can link me up with a nice reshade?? no over the top and performance friendly pls peepostarechamp

vapid olive
#

Eden's is top tier indeed. focuses on clarity over bloom and other needless stuff. still uses ReShade so wont hurt performance usually. best paired with Golden Autumn Weathers

celest ferry
#

thanks ill give it a try

#

how do you install shaders? dropping it in bin folder??

vapid olive
#

Eden's comes with a readme

#

and yes, its a copy folder - ez
if you want the weathers its just adding it in MO2 and putting it at the end of the load order

celest ferry
#

sweet! ty PepeHappy

mint owl
#

Thanks guy for publicity x)

#

But performance friendly might not be accurate

vapid olive
#

if you struggle with normal reshade alrdy - sure

vivid spoke

kekpoint Just pointing a finger randomly

mint owl
manic sage
#

But Eden is still in maintenance right? Advised not to use it?

vapid olive
#

i use it

#

but i also help testing it constantly

manic sage
#

I see, why is it in maintenance?

vapid olive
#

the thing is, its just an ini you can load in reshade

#

and switch back to vanilla gamma any time

#

and the reason is, we just had a big patch with new shaders

#

so it all went to shit

#

even the vanilla gamma settings and had to be redone from scratch

#

and shaders are fickle

#

turn one knob, all looks like shit

manic sage
#

Interesting makes sense

mint owl
#

Just as he said, it was working great but now I have to correct it after the recent updates, and I'm looking for some alternatives at the same time to make it look great

ebon zenith
#

I updated Gamma yesterday and I think it looks a little too bright. Especially noticeable when inside a building.

#

That look a bit weird to anyone else?

#

My basic light settings are all 1, 1, 1 which is how I've always had them

ebon zenith
#

On further inspection it seems to just be when it's fully sunny. All the other weather types and it looks normal.

civic bronze
#

how is the game without the reshade? is it really bad?

past shuttle
ebon zenith
ebon zenith

Same. I'm happy again. I'm addicted as fuck to Gamma and was worried my game would look weird for a while until they update the reshade or whatever 😄

wet violet

#

Bit confused. I ticked the agressor reshade in MO2 but the preset is still on gamma. and when I add a preset the .fx are still the same.

vapid olive
#

aggressor in Gamma is just floor textures

keen current
#

If I want to install another shader, do I need to untick enhanced shaders?

vivid spoke
sour oar
#

Aggressor in GAMMA IS just floor stuff, but you can go to your ReShade after turning it on and enable the Aggressor preset if you want the entire experience

I dont know if 1. anyoone has seen this and 2. if this has been asked already but is there any word on how hard it will be to get Gamma and Anomaly to use RTX like in the video and what is the use case for it like does it even work for something like Stalker I dont know how any of this works sorry if its a dumb question

Also does Gamma already come with a shader?

NVIDIA RTX Remix is an easy way for modders to create RTX Remasters of classic games. Watch the tool in action as we capture and remaster The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. We can't wait to see what classic RTX remasters you'll make next!

Go into Anomaly, reshade folder

#

Get the .ini file, drag and drop into the folder

#

Ingame, press ‘Home’, go to preset, and then select that one

will probably be used for artistic purpose and things like that, not sure about modders being able to remaster any game with it

One very stupid Questions, do i need to download ReShade, or is it pre installed?

it comes with Gamma

Thanks

#

@mint owl it runs good for me, no stutters actually. Do you want a ss of my settings?

mint owl
#

Sure thing ^^ Thank you very much

#

Are you using Vanilla GAMMA setup ?

#

Or Golden Autumn maybe ?

serene spear
#

I followed your instructions on the thing you posted.

#

All but the last was installed

mint owl
#

I'm a bit slow, my instructions were a bit outdated as well x) Meaning only GAMMA's normal setup ? Because I had a guy stuttering like crazy or even crash in Dead City

#

Trying to figure out if it could be caused by Golden Autumn

serene spear
#

these two I installed

mint owl
#

@prime fern This person here seems to not have any troubles in Dead City performances wise even with Golden Autumn, might be something wrong on your settings ?

@prime fern@mint owl that's how it looks

Sorry

Uhh, well, aside of the saturation, which is probably weather tied, I don't see an issue

prime fern

#

the thing I have installed?

yes

mint owl
#

Probably the (Base) ?

serene spear
#

From this

#

and i took early autumn

mint owl
#

Was just renamed shorter

serene spear
#

it works great though

prime fern
#

I’m using late autumn

#

Im honestly thinking at this point it’s just golden autumn itself and my pc can’t handle it. Bc if I turn the reshade preset off my fps still sucks

mint owl
swift robin
#

is it possible to use dxvk with reshade at the same time?

mint owl
#

@prime fern I'm thinking about it, but maybe we don't lag there because it's cheat save and we start a new game to check the place ? You were lagging on a real game right ?

prime fern
#

even after trying your suggestion

#

it gets especially bad when going anywhere near the building where all the traders are.

mint owl
#

GAMMA, and Anomaly in general, are getting more and more performances hungry after days ingame

#

More npcs, events and all

#

Also, for anyone, I have fixed the Reshade I left in maintenance before and updated the description accordingly, feel free to use it if you wish to ^^ (PS: not the one I've been working on lately, I just happened to have found the right fix along the way)

#

Hello guys, how do I turn on Aggressor Reshade via the Reshade menu?

#

Or, more like, what's the path leading to it's file to load it up?

prime fern
#

I think it's just a skill issue on my part

manic sage
#

@mint owl just tried your reshade plus your setup! looks amazing only think I changed was replacing the asphalt texture and ground texture

mint river
#

is the lighting supposed to look like this? Seems like it's all textures

jovial zephyr
#

So i have a very highend computer (3080) and was hoping someone taking this into account can let me know what is the best reshade in your opinion. Also, in terms of adding said reshade is there a tutorial? thanks in advance

alright, will check it out thanks mate
