uh
oh jeez, was up just like, a week ago sorry about that
xd
well ill go for like the wintery thing
do you have anything like that?
graupel 100%
you can find it in #🖇old-mods-posting
thanks
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
i will definitely try it out when it turns winter lol
what parts of all 3 do you use?
I don't specifically pick and choose, just put YAWM and Inverno in the order described in #custom-textures and have graupel override everything. I know next to nothing about modding so it might not be any different than just using graupel
yo man thanks for the thing
i tried making the thing look like winters in nyc lol
dead grass and dead tree
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
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
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
Combo of https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/project-quantum-a-graphics-overhaul-of-stalker-anomaly and https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/abnormal-weather08
does quantum need any setup to look nice on gamma?
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?
for the same reasons Expedition is not recommandable
badly optimised; eye burner; fuck up the hud
300% bloom = good graphics i guess
Modern AAA game dev mindset
for mine taste, it is awful because of the whole contrast and bloom
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
finally, merged expedition + gamma + expedition + expedition
Super ultra HDR 10000k
That filter is...
ioai frate un roman care joaca sdalger
Finally some 2022 ultra graphics, now it looks next gen
how you get that PDA map on the top left?
Gamma has a minimap, or do i understand you wrong?
you can set the keybind for it in mcm
its this addon
oh nice thanks kinda new
i have that enabled but didn't see any minimap ingame
make sure its enabled in the settings > visual > HUD
oh nice thanks
as they all said above me
I mean is not perfect but it has its nice moments. Screenshots taken from reshade for some reason come a bit washed out but on screen colors were a bit more vibrant. Here also I am using abnormal which also has its quirks so not all the time is good but you get really moody stuff out of it.
not bad, but it isn't for mine taste: it is too "magical". But as I said: for me
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.
gamma default reshade are perfect as it is a neutral as it gets in terms of personal preferences and it's performance friendly across the board, two main requirements to satisfy a wide audience
The balance with shaders is the crux mostly in my experience. make one ToD and weather preset nice, everything else looks shit 
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
lack of skills it's something that can be fixed as well but you have to be willing to trade it with your time 🙂
ye, i literally have not enough hours in my day unfortunately
indeed, sometimes you can choose to either play the game or tweak it. you cant have it both haha
My new version of the reshade preset
to disable ambient occlusion - click "end" button
to disable dof - click "" button
What would you change ? If I may ask, so I can see what I can do when coming home ?
On my actual version I actually added a bit of bloom
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!
guys which reshade is the best right now
for balance and performance, the GAMMA one is pretty good.
no
there is quite the difference to OG stalker.
there
in here you will find also some different presets for download
they achieve diffefent things, depending on your taste
are there settings for the gamma one ?
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
you have some good settings for reshade ?
just search this channel. Eden made one, Apollo made one and some others too
ok thank you
@swift robin Like your preset looks really nice
can we see what your light settings are? so i can match my saturation and such
the saturation itself was adjusted in regrade shader
(btw, such a powerfull thing)
alright
Ah, I think I can do something about it, it's probably because I wanted clear dark shadows at night to contrast with the moonlight but maybe I have overdone it indeed 🤔 Glad you enjoy it still, I'll take a look at home, so in less than two weeks
you take your time, I assume you're on vacation so please enjoy 
I am indeed thank you, as for your issue, you can tweak down the clarity.fx, that should help for your issue I think, if not, I'll just take a look ^^
@swift robin how do you install a new preset? Yours looks really clean
you must delete in the anomaly/bin folder all of these
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
@glacial spear thx
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
project quantum+ abnormal weathers. Nice how the mood and tones can change at dusk . rif pictures in CNPP
dunno how is the feeling in game, but damn sure it's atmospheric. I don t think I've ever seen that pink before in the Zone
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
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
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
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
can i have your user.itx, i wanna see something
You need to have clear weather at 7AM to get that kind of pink sky in base GAMMA Weathers and most weathers
@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
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
I know these parameters, r2_sun_lumscale and sub params emi (outside) and ambience (inside)
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
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
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
@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
Cool
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
@balmy ravine i'll try it too, thx for the advice
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 👍
@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"
I might talk bullshit but I think some sunlight settings might also be backed in the weather type config files
Yeah lumscale seems to be the way to go then, but it'll not influence the brightness of the sun while looking directly at it like you do in your screenshots, I believe. I personaly use some bloom to get the sky fancier and sun more ... idk how to say it, eye burning ?
in my experience lumscale affect how far the sunlight affect props at distance, for instance the shadowing on the trees
@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
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 👍
do you know if the dynamic tonemap could change this parameters (r2_sun_lumscale
r2_sun_lumscale_amb
r2_sun_lumscale_hemi) in the user.ltx? Because I always found them different when I go edit them (I keep a backup of it which I usually use to compare when I tweak some presets)
They do, but not for lumscale, it is static
no offence, but I hate bloom with my soul 
yes you are correct, that one does was not changed
I'll try that first
@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
will try. currently testing this preset #╟📸screenshots message
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 
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
@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
everytime you change the reshade-shaders folder you mean or everytime you modify the preset within values?
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 
@glacial spear @balmy ravine I think I'm done
feels to dark to me, how are you going to play?
like this
Thats very dark indeed. U gonna use some batteries for torches and nvgs 
the nvgs are there for
I guess we all have different screen afterall, I couldn't play like that with my poor tn panel
very bad contrast and color
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?
I see. That s the same reason why I can t use presets made by you 
best config is always the one you did for yourself in the end
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
Thats why I disabled colorcorrect in reshade or smth like this
also removed that red tint u speak about that I dont like either
really thx both of you for the help
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
actually you r right
in the end I used filmictonemap and Lumasharpen to squeeze out more light without killing everything else
using 0.9 gamma
MSI Optix MPG341CQR
Well we definitely dont have the same kind of screen 
@balmy ravine Hip is using the torch inside the building
(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 
actually all the NPC are lighting on their torches when walking inside the not illuminated building (1 PM) 
@glacial spear check this
that's impossible, xray sentient now
@glacial spear I honestly think that's how the game is supposed to look, I refuse to believe Xray can do that
why on earth they use the torches at 1pm?
cause inside is dark
how do they know?
as soon as they exit the building they turn it off
uhmm
cause there are no source of lights inside
where is that rostok? so if I go there they should turn on the headlamps even in my game
atr 1pm
the guard in Rostock, coming from the south, in the first hall always has his lights on too when inside
I hope, otherwise I'll burn my pc and ask for an exorcism 
Space S.T.A.L.K.E.R. here I come https://youtu.be/UFXAVeAZL6g
where do i add a new preset for the shaders?
Does anyone have good shader recommendations, trying to get the game as pretty as possible
Is anybody here using Nvidia 2080 TI and could share his graphic settings?
Hi it's a matter of trying and seeing what you like also what can you afford in terms of performances. Scrolling the history of this channel there is plenty of people that have shared their reshade presets. just grab them and test them. It's going to be a time consuming task, beware
sorry for being late but I couldn't accsess to my computer
how do u change the size of SquareDOV
when using new presets do i just have to import said preset into the bin folder or the reshade-shaders folder as well?
i just tried to use high quality shaders on warfare mode, my pc blue screened LOL
3500$ pc btw ;-;
put the .ini in the bin folder, then select it in the reshade menu (home button)
thanks for sharing. Do you know what the 'GrainSpread' error is on the reshade and how to fix? Or is it non essential?
yep
import bin folder into anomally folder and replace when it is needed
it seems that this error appear only in this shader (which I do not use)
so I would not worry about it
I'm on a 3440x1440 21:9, it's the ratio
hey ^^
how do i install Agressor reshade ? same as the vanilla anomaly?
that's fine
drag all the reshade files to your root folder
if you want to install the updated grass and ground textures for it, message me and I'll help, cause it's annoyingly particular about how you do it
https://youtu.be/H3xCkkA5lp8?t=533
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?
golden autumn texture pack comes to mind
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
it's just ground textures for mo2
gotta reinstall it
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
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
!cache
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.
still the same sadly
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
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.
Any reshade preset recommandation for wintery zone with Graupel ? :)
i already tried a full install via the gamma installer and it is still the same
can i manually reinstall the game again and keep my save game somehow?
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
i really dont know i think i might have added some textures from the "abnormal weather" mod by accident into gamedata
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
will have a look one minute
don't add stuff in gamedata in the anomaly install folder
which dll do you mean i have more than 2
If you have selected the storm 1 or 2 in the weather editor, this blinding lightning will never go away
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
it is indeed storm 1 or 2
It's something unsolved in Anomaly itself
Only way to get normal stormy weathers is through normal ingame hours
You can set stormy weathers to be much more frequent however
thre is only 2 .dll files there remove them both or rename extenstion with .back
i used the standard gamma reshade and it looks stangly "washed out"
Gamma Reshade does not aim for pretty graphics but rather consistency, I made my own adaptation of it
well the argument has moved from fixing a bug to flavour of reshades
I am confusede
so if a storm happens normally ingame the bright white lightning wont appear?
you take over then 🙂
Also, don't even think of using weather editor to edit a weather without disabling Dynamic Tonemap in the MCM
thank you for the help!
Exactly
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
@mint owl question for you - do you know how these params are calculated in user.ltx and what they are for?
the shader params
I suggest you look for it in #🖇old-mods-posting , might be a bit far but I can't link things on mobile sadly
do you know where in mcm the dynamic tonemap is located?
no worries mate
nvm got it
in main menu > mcm
Ah, I can't really help on that side, but I recommend not touching it
Since it can cause black screen issues in game
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
It has been an obscure value to me, never really researched about them honestly
I'm keeping these and usually just modify my reshade accordingly
@mortal shuttle I was looking at this again, is SSDO needed?

Thank you ❤️
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>
[error]Function : CInifile::r_section
[error]File : Xr_ini.cpp
[error]Line : 918
[error]Description : fatal error
[error]Arguments : Can't open section 'collection_far'. Please attach [*.ini_log] file to your bug report .
if I remove it it will launch just fine. Do I really need this patch?
You don't need it for GAMMA everything will work fine
try to disable roadside lensflares in mo2 maybe
thx I will try
looks like a supernova or nuclear explosion 
your were correct sir
If you wish to use gamma flares instead you can get rid of suns.ltx and the anamflares folder from majestic (I dont use majestic but they should be there)
well thanks for the tips. I'll have a try
I could not find those files you mentioned in weatherfx so presumebly weatherfx is using vanilla ones
it's not that but right now
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.
You should be able to use any textures mods or reshade without issues
Thank you! Any particular you would recommend, or should I just browse this #reshading channel?
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
Thank you so much!
EXP + Agressor + GTR + Enhanced Shaders
"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"

From #🖇old-mods-posting by AlzHighMr
omg thank you!
(Couldn't link it because Discord mobile though)
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?
sorry to disturb you, but i don't understand the step 2, can you explain me better ?
it means install from MO the file that you download from here
do you know how to install mods on MO2?
place it at the end
yeah i find it out but for the final step i dont know what to do
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 ?
i didnt have any problem so guess it is okay
yes, it means this is the first time you launched anomaly
replying for reference. My advice is to get rid of Expedition weathers and use which ever weather mod pack you whish and make adjustments to r2_sun_lumscale params accordingly. I am using abnormal. To do so delete from the rar the config folder
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.
p! warn @swift robin dont promote other modpacks without permission/dont post suspicious links
@swift robin has been warned.
too bright for me but looks great
I don't think it's otherthinking honestly, the greatest ideas sometimes come with a thought such as this one, but you should ask @nova wedge since I just referenced their post here
I don't like Expedition weathers honestly and rather use Golden Autumn Weathers which is more consistent and superior in my opinion
Same man 😄 This foggy with this flares i dont like too 😄 You can try decrease " sun_shafts_intensity = 0.52 " in every weathers which working little bit for this moonshine 🙂
Hello, does anybody know why my gamma reshade has every option unchecked?
not so sure, maybe select a preset
where are these sweet sweet presets?
Usually in the bin folder
Unless you made your own, in that case, it's gonna be located in GAMMA RC3/Overwrite folder
how do i switch shaders im trying to use agressor
Ive done all the steps and i have a black screen when i load into a save know a possible fix?
I don't think you can load a save afterward, rather starting a new game, if it doesn't work, ask AlzHighMr as he wrote these steps
Just delete shader cache and be sure you have all shader params set like is in user.ltx
Why does it say there is a update for reshade available when loading up the game, although I already have the newest version installed ?
install it the normal way, gamma's aggressor from what I've heard is just the ground. I installed it following a yt tutorial and it worked.
is there any way to disable the fire and anomaly reshades, they tanking my game
what would happen if i disable all reshades? (i hate shaders)
You can disable it ig, see how it looks. Home key to open the menu iirc. Not an insane difference if you are using the gamma one already 👍
do you know how to disable the new acid gas anomaly thingy?
in the garbage, it lowers my fps a lot in that swamp area with a crapton of them
That's a particle mod, I don't know if you can remove it safely currently. haven't tried myself but hope someone does, sorry.
If you speak about the modded ones, I'm pretty sure theres an option in the ig mod menu
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)
i turned on soft and water reflection ig and crashed since then im getting this
!shader
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.
Is that without reshade??
Btw Any idea how to install the expedition visuals in Gamma? 
reshade is running with only 2 basic effects a vignette and a sharpener, all the rest is handled in engine with the expedition shaders
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
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
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
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
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
Are you gonna put it on YouTube ?
noo I don't do that. I just write a good old document 😄
Recording urself doing it may be faster but you do you my man
Daayum that looks sweeet
So this will turn my vanilla gamma into what I see on those screenshots? Or did you make some other adjustments/install other mods
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
the lighting here was quite good
No worries as long as it doesn't break my game
https://youtu.be/FRGkoXbshjQ night walk
shadows and reflections of the moon on the gun
btw what vegetation textures do use ?
i think im having issues with gardner of the zone
everything looks so barren
it's vanilla but I have expedition textures on top but I don't know if those change the vegetation
bruh you should submit it to Groks to make it part of vanilla gamma
Ur teasing me can't wait to try it out
it's from another mod I am not sure whether would be even possible also is a visual mod so not to everyone taste
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
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
@mortal shuttle Falcon told me to ping you?
I just wanna make my game run well enough to play, like stable-ish 60, but make it graphically the best
@mint owl I'm sure you or Apollo made a "guide" or something for Majestic back in the day
oh yeah, my specs
AMD ryzen 3600 6 cores
and nvidia rtx 3060
best possible visuals while having a 60 fps stable guide
I know im asking a lot but you guys are wizards anyway
literally just use the installation instructions on the majestic mod page
nope
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?
i mean the game doesn't run well no matter what you do unless you have insane specs
I'm sure that even with insane specs the game would run badly
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
i also recommend CSEden's graphics setup #🖇old-mods-posting message
I mean captain 3070? You tell us
I'll hobo around with my 2080 and still be unable to run it in 32:9 over 40fps
oh well now its time for this channel
but does Michikos weather work with Majestic?
no need for it im guessing since one overrides the other
All Apollo, even though it was much simpler when I installed it rather than blindly following instructions on the page x)
you can disable it
The game is CPU intensive, not GPU
anybody know good reshades for shadow of chernobyl?
Hi, which reshade in your opinion looks best with majestic weather?
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.
That's weird I have a 5900x and I get around 60-70 FPS but my GPU is a 3060 Ti so I feel I'm lacking more on GPU, I also get bad stutters or fps sometimes drops to around 40-50
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
i have the same experience on a ryzen 5 3600/rtx 2070 super. i think what we're experiencing is xray + addons and there isnt really a way around that
unless you decided to by a ryzen threadripper or something
I'm about to get a 5600x, can't wait for the general performance boost
I'm using a 5600x, and get about 90-110 fps
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.
wHAT SETTINGS?
I used honda's presets
reshade
and a bunch of other stuff
my cpu is overclocked to 3.7 ghz
though
Do you use the default trees and stuff?
hmm interesting
grass is turned down to 1/4
with a fairly high pop at 1.2 for stalkers 1.1 for mutants
no wonder your frames are shit then lol
doesnt matter how good your pc is grass neuters it
ya I lowered it a little bit and saw I got up to 100 but it looked poo lol
ya true
probs more at like 10% less I was getting 20+ lol
day 2 of asking if anyone has some good SoC reshades
I'm gonna take a huge leap and say if no one answered day one then they probably don't. Just a thought
i definiely now there is some
but i know there is probably way better
I meant that no one who who checks this channel has them or cares to share them.
huh
Have you tried asking people who play SoC?
cant find a dedicated discord for SoC
you have some?
It's an old game. It's community is probably still on forums somewhere
huh
Either way, it's not here
You can try reddit or the official stalker server
try this reshade it's from SoC OGSR Gunslinger addon
awesome
i was about to say just play aa2 with atmosfear but then again i dont usually play with reshades because they eat more performance for marginal graphic gains lol
can i use expedition graphics only mod with gamma ?
Yeah but there might be some tweaks to be made. @glacial spear is making a guide about that, along with installing Abnormal Weathers 0.8, so stay tuned!
okay thanks
might be worth mentioning here that I have posted a tool for enthusiast reshade tinkerers #🖇old-mods-posting message
GAMMA with Expedition coming soon also
Looking forward to it
has anyone messed with the gamma expedition that strangerism posted? because mine crashes on startup and idk what to do'
I couldn't get it to work as well, but I haven't bothered much with it. can't open certain collections according to log iirc
i actually fixed mine, found out i needed to install base anomaly in the expedition folder and then put extract expedition over it, idk if thats the same thing you missed
idk this install was a bit confusing for me
it was for me too, spent pretty much all day on it
So, does it look good ? Haven't bothered more with it because I'm not a big expedition fan tbh, but im curious
its beautiful, definitely worth imo
looks cool 👍 might give it another shot later
Could someone make a clip on yt? I am at a time on my vacation with family but courious as hell. Ty in advance
let me know what was confusing about, so I can improve the guide.
Do you guys update the reshade ? cause it always says in the main menu after loading the game there is a update for it ?
is not needed
ok thx
tbh I haven't used the exact same file paths you showed, might be that. I had the 5 folders at the root of my disk.
I don't think that should not matter as long you set the folders name in the environment.properties although I don't really know what your GAMMA install looks like. Tbh used the most common setup that all the Anomaly modpacks, that comes with MO, use; which is Anomaly folder and MO folder both in the same root folder
Well my install is nothing shoddy or unusual, just everything at disk root. I might have made something wrong but if I encounter the issue when I retry I'll let you know 👍
did you install just 1.5.1 anomaly into that folder or did you add the update to 1.5.2
Expedition supports anomaly 1.5.1 only
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)
ok thank you
Personally I got it working quiet easilly
And it's well worth it
Still got some tweaking to do for it to look perfect
Did you change some settings?
Btw runs great as well 10 to 15 FPS raise ❤️
Thank you so much for this @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
Also is it compatible with today's update? #📢announcements
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
Can't do it now but I'll keep you updated 👍
How do i go about updating my reshade?
yeah i just turned on some added filters in the reshade menu, thats why the color looks like tarkov
and yes thank you @glacial spear my game has never looked and ran so well
Anyone with scren space shader ?i’ve tryed to use the same code on video but it doesn’t work, can’t get that look on the grass shadows even with the grass shadow option on game config menu https://youtu.be/NxNixSseig4
Screen space shadows implementation for Anomaly 1.5.2 & 1.5.1. This shader render detailed shadows for the complete scene to improve the default shadow map.
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/screen-space-shaders
Screen space shaders are part of GAMMA, to use Grass Shadows, you need to enable it in user.ltx first : r2_sun_details on & r__enable_grass_shadow on
Afterward, you can enable or disable grass shadows in the game settings
@cloud island I was wondering about that, why is sun details off by default ? For performance ? I understand for grass shadows but I'm not sure about what sun details does in itself
hum performances iirc
Thank u!
I'm not the best benchmark honestly but I haven't noticed much, but you know your stuff much better than I do x)
which option are you talking about specifically btw? Just to be sure
Just the r2_sun_details line in user.ltx being set as "off" and not "on", I don't think it has an attached ingame option in settings though
ok will check, but iirc it doesn't change anything graphic wise
Yeah, but it would enable the possibility of activating grass shadows in-game or not, one less question for people to ask x)
grass shadows are bad and poorly optimized
SSS grass shadows are good and don't cost anything
I know, but at least, people will have the choice to get it activated or not without messing with user ltx
if you knew all the things made so people don't do shit and ask questions afterwards...
Yeah, I can't imagine honestly, just going in the sense of modularity GAMMA is offering, that's one more thing to mess with I guess
But we live in an age of people not using helmets for protection then complain about it, so what's grass shadows here ?

Wait a minute, I saw the #📎to-do , they do that now ?
it was in prep for a long time but it should be in the current update yes
Well, in that case I agree that's not needed anymore with the normal ones, but are they really effective as shadows ?

Was about to use this before I read that it's not compatible with beef's nvgs

Imma copy over reshade settings and see how that works out.
smh the reshade is just vignette and sharpness 
Well in this case it can only be better than the monstruosity that was the 1st expedition
but imo gamma is well provided in shaders etc already
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
Seems you are talking about dynamic tonemap, if thats the case you either gotta control it from mod options or disable it
cool, thanks I'll give that a look, I just tried deleting shader cache, and tried the console commands r2_sun_lumscale_amb 2.0 & r2_sun_lumscale_hemi 0.75 but both wouldn't stay
Yeah thats it then 😉 Theres info on how to set each parameter on the moddb page
Thanks again man, solved all my issues!
Apollo actually disabled Dynamic Tonemap altogether though and listed it as instructions iirc
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.
no mention in the instructions.txt file, just checked
Not listed, then he likely forgot to put it, we've made our reshades around the same time as we learned from each other, and he was always saying that he turned off Dynamic Tonemap, so did I
Because Reshades are not mod, you need to backup your Anomaly bin folder (the one with GAMMA reshade inside) then drop the content of your reshade in it
I suggest you try looking in this channel or #╟📸screenshots channel for pictures then when you find ones you like, just ask the person what they are using, but distance is Stalker will never properly look good, the engine may have been modified but the base is still an old game
you can try this tool to switch between reshade #🖇old-mods-posting message
if you download the version on gdrive. it comes already with few reshade
I could have linked it, but for someone not knowing how to install a reshade, I thought it would be more complicated for this person to use
Guys can i ask you for help in order how to properly instal different reshade into GAMMA without causing conflicts?
You mean a reshade preset which is admittedly easy or something ingame shader-intensive like Agressor or Expedition?
Can anyone help me. value of enhance shader a resetting and always adjusting constantly in game, please
turn off adaptive tonemapping
Technically there's only Dynamic Tonemap, Adapative Tonemapping isn't part of base GAMMA Reshade
@vapid olive It's not Golden Autumn but do the night feels better in your opinion ?
Before
And after
And third option
guys how does the reshade menu work
Depends on what you want to do with it
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
so did anyone tested this in combination with Enhanced Shaders and Color Grading and Screen Space Shaders, i see in the description that it was meant to be used with vanilla shaders (and weathers), and how are the results 😛 ?
maybe do a backup in MO2 before installing any shader can help if we can meet any problem reliated with shaders ?
yes thanks for the advice, i will test this soon and post about the results 😄
oh sorry this was not really reshade related by the way lol
How do i hide my UI for screenshots? The hide UI key only drops my minimap/compass not the groks body thing or ammo counter etcc
H
ty
yes it does look better
Any suggestions to make the outside less blinding during the day? I really like the interiors though
My quest for the ultimate reshade does not end here unfortunately xD
Always look for alternate effects that can do the same thing but better, and don't hesitate to tweak values for each effect
This is after tweaking
Be mindful of your UI and main menu as well
Ur right my PDA is a bit bright
Try pressing Esc and tell me ? x)
What would you suggest for toning down brights but keeping contrast distinc
distinct*
menus fine
First of all, eye adaptation is not really great
Then you can try P80 Brightness Contrast Saturation
That helped, I turned down the contrast and saturation and the light level feels more even now
You're playing a Ninja ?
lmao
I think it was the shadow cast by my sks
Its also evening on mine vs your overhead light it looks like midday
Which weather and time on your side ?
how do i check that
Through the Anomaly Launcher
ah
You activate it once there, and then you can launch through your usual DX11 or 10 or whatever x)
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
w_clear1 and time is 1800
Okay, I'm heading to the area
actually 1830
I don't have the same weather mod but that's my 18:30
hm yeah i think expedition shaders and weathers may be throwing it off
Closest to yours is this one
hmm your arms look blue/black
Depends on the lighting
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
Hi, Golden Autumn Redux, you can find it on #🖇old-mods-posting right now
Thank you!!
fps good?
really wanna add it, but idk if 1060 i5 7400 and 16gb ram would do the trick
You probably need to tweak the grass density a bit but otherwise perfectly fine
that and rendering distance probably yea
If you can play the normal GAMMA, this one is not far from it FPS wise
@vapid olive May I ask for a favor ? x)
sure
Can I give you my actual Reshade with all the edits I've made and see what you think of it ? To improve I need a pair of fresh eyes xD
but yes ofc - I am currently watching the Realms Deep event but once it's over I can boot it up
woah
does anyone have Michiko's discord?
I'm looking for her reshade preset, but it's deleted from MOdDB
i dont see how any of you are getting playable frames with your game like that
i have mine on medium with my view turned down all the way
and still lag in dead city and restock
The magic of different specs
Also, I’m p-sure a lot of the settings they’re using are cranked up for the screenshots and then cranked back down
how to i get more reshade options?
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
heavy npc areas low 50s
tweak ur Nvidia control panel, keep BIOS updated, Overclocking, etc
does anyone got the GTR addon on texture
dc and rostok are always going to lag
its an engine issue not necessarily your computer
uncap your framerates
capped mine consistently got at least 20 fps below what it does uncapped
depends the config I guess, past 90 fps the frametime is all over the place on mine, you can directly feel input lag and skipping. High gpu usage also doesn't help with input lag :/
I usually hit about that as well
but ive got my cpu oc'd
all my stutters come from my stupid amd system
despite good framerates :X
80/90 fps is a good balance I admit, but I prefer 60 for the stability 🙂 got used to it
lol my worst frames come from opening the inventory
Yeah I think thats the case for everyone lol
Care to share your Nvidia settings?
@balmy ravine yeah I’ve tried all that. Literally have tried everything unticking cpu 0 and Turning the stalker count down to .75 help a lil, but I think it’s just somthing im a have to deal with or not play
It’s literally only restock and dead city where I lag everywhere else is okay
That's normal
Rostok is 100% normal
Dead City (apparently) too
@river flower yeah I found out yesterday I’m not the only one which makes me feel better
It's literally how it is, Anomaly stutter and the general performance is bad
You either live with it or you don't
Idk bout that tho anomaly with out gamma runs perfect for me on ultra even in those 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
Like render grass distance
How can i update reshade safely to have all of the shader tweak availllable
can someone tell me how to get more reshade options
@cunning jay sorry for late reply just saw this bro man
best results for my setup have been these
go to reshade.com download exe reshade launcher, while your in the installing page click update to your DX10,11 AVX or whatever your playing with, click open then done
Impossible, bloom obviously = Ultra 2022 Graphics
any good reshade that will work fine on rtx 3050ti?
its not really the graphics that are the main issue
its the engine
most reshades will work with that
the game just doesnt do well with multi cores and requires a high individual clock speed per cpu
Yup, I applied bloom on my own reshade, but not in a blinding way, and it works great
Using this at the moment
Anything similar to this?
A reshade that makes the zone more dark and grim
I prefer those reshade presets
So why something else than this one then ?
Just wanna see others since this one doesn't do too much
And sometimes it doesn't mix well
But I might stay with it
Hey Eden quick question. To install the Toned Down Eye Adaptation in your reshade do i just put that folder in the Gamma/Mods folder and enable it in mod organizer?
Hey man pulling up an old message here, hope you don't mind. Do you remember exactly what reshade files you had active when you took these screenshots? Or was this base GAMMA reshade with just the mods you listed on top of it?
Yup, you can do just that, as long as there is the folder and a gamedata so MO2 recognize it as a proper mod
It's no worries, I use the Piknik reshade, it's simultaneously brighter but more washed out in a realistic type of way, makes shadows look real sexy
do you keep LevelsPlus toggled on? it makes everything too bright tbh
really loving how this looks
that's gorgeous
My struggle with reshade, using RTGI shader. Day time looks as good as it's gonna get without making my frames tank. But night time is too bright, especially interiors. Anyone know how to solve this issue? I've tried HDR and increasing contrast but that just makes shadows at day really dark
why dont u try changing the night brightness ingame settings
or try levels in reshade
how do i update reshade
u should be able to just enable gamma eshade at the top and click active to top
unless you've messed with stuff im not sure i neve used default gamma reshade
it's updated in the last gamma update
Hello guys, is this the default reshade for G.A.M.M.A?
Yes
Thanks Giu,
In case you need it next time, you can found it there.
Great! Thank you!
is the game meant to be this dark? tried a few diff graphic mods but it's still cringe - can barely see anything
can someone tell me their reshades settings i just started playing GAMMA and only hell its so dark i can barely see a dog in front of me at 10 am
update gamma, it should be fixed #📢announcements
hallelujah
thanks mate
is there any ambient occlusion effect that doesn't like "leak through" ui elements like the inventory and dialogue screens? also does it to the body health system ui
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?
I need help with that too actually
You can make backup of your current bin folder or use the backup there ⬇️
...GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches
Cant you install them using mod organizer? I tried to install some but it keeps saying their structure is wrong
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.
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
You don't need any post process AO with the current build imo
we have improved ssdo and great screen space shadows
I've never been able to like PPFX_SSDO, it always makes the game way too bright and it makes menus look absolutely horrible :/
I was speaking of the ingame ssao
oh i do use HDAO on high but i feel like it barely makes a difference :/
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
those are the shaders implemented in gamma, you might want to take a look, you can see ssdo in action with comparisons https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/screen-space-shaders
that is already in gamma?
SSS, yes
Update 11, no
Puddles, I think they're already in
as a 3d artist, every time I see SSS, I think SubSurface Scattering
Lol same here
in this case it's ScreenSpace Shaders
I have the test version of 11
Which fixes the nvg issue with sss, Tab implemented a parameter to control it with the moddb version
I just tried to install it and it immediately white washed my screen, is there anything you need to disable for this reshade to work properly? using PikNikRS
Was it the case before you applied the Reshade or it was normal ?
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
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
can someone name a good reshade to use?
Those in Majestic Weather are not bad.. With some tweak
CS Eden's 
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 ?
I think Grok didn't recommend this setting, supposedly bad, best is to enable through Reshade effect and set it up correctly
how to clear shader caches?
!shader
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 don't know for sure if you're looking for something like it but I have a reshade posted in #🖇old-mods-posting
Is this the reshade on maintenance?
Yup, discovered recently that since the recent updates, something went wrong with it, currently searching for a fix
Ok thanks
Maybe you'd like to catch my modified Agggresor reshade? Theres SSRTGI config inside too if you have access to it
love this, was using my own aggressor but it had this awful white tint to it, this looks so much crispier
thank you! 🙂
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
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/
Amazing thanks
I guess it'll change as I go forward
have a good Zone
hey i was using this Honda reshade somebody posted here a while a go and it seems i have to options that failed to compile 😦
what can i do
OGSR menu background 
bro
any idea what reshade setting causes clouds to do this?
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.
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
yea its from a reshade called honda, but when switching to gamma reshade it also fails to compile same files
i mean i have no problems with the game looks, i was just wondering if those are important files or sum xD
Have you tried deleting reshade shaders folder and any file used by your reshade folder ?
you mean shader cache folder in anomaly??
I mean, what you can see on the picture just above
Maybe your Reshade was made with a specific version of Reshade, what files do you have in it ?
The one you want to add
I fixed by doin this right here
thanks my brothers 
Personally i never overwrite my reshade folder, i make backup or you can use this awesome tool :
#🖇old-mods-posting message
Yup, everytime I do a full reinstall, I make a backup of my appdata folder as well as my bin folder
anyone can link me up with a nice reshade?? no over the top and performance friendly pls 
cs eden's
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
it is in #🖇old-mods-posting
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
sweet! ty 
if you struggle with normal reshade alrdy - sure
Just pointing a finger randomly

But Eden is still in maintenance right? Advised not to use it?
I see, why is it in maintenance?
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
Interesting makes sense
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
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
On further inspection it seems to just be when it's fully sunny. All the other weather types and it looks normal.
i just installed the modpack and noticed the same thing right away
how is the game without the reshade? is it really bad?
Just press "page up"
I just checked how it is without the reshade after Keule_Minouge informed me you can disable/enable the reshade by simply pressing page up. It still looks great even without it.
yeah that did it for me
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 😄
Yeah the clear1 weather is a bit wack right now, the ambient values are too strong. I ended up installing only the weather part of the golden autumn weather redux for now.
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.
aggressor in Gamma is just floor textures
If I want to install another shader, do I need to untick enhanced shaders?
Yep ! Textures are not bad but ground_grass_01 & 02 are little bit too saturate. But after desaturate a bit it's perfect 👌
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
@Malina#2401
anyone here can send a screenshot of their shaders to make the game look the best?

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!
#IGN #Gaming
how do i get this to work?
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
gamma has its own reshade preset and some shader addons.
i have no idea but i highly doubt the old stalker engines can utilize these new tech
it supposed to be used on older games like stalker and morrowind with some sort of AI but I dont know or really understand the whole thing and if its supposed to be used with a reshade or how it affects engine performance
will probably be used for artistic purpose and things like that, not sure about modders being able to remaster any game with it
yes I need to patch it up
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?
Sure thing ^^ Thank you very much
Are you using Vanilla GAMMA setup ?
Or Golden Autumn maybe ?
I followed your instructions on the thing you posted.
All but the last was installed
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
@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 ?
Thank you for your report, it has A LOT of value to me ^^
Possibly…. Are they using autumn redux weathers?
@mint owl @serene spear this is what my load order looks like
@prime fern I may not have as beefy pc as u, I i play on pretty low quality setting ingame
@prime fern@mint owl that's how it looks
Fish
Sorry
Uhh, well, aside of the saturation, which is probably weather tied, I don't see an issue
what is this anomaly season??
the thing I have installed?
yes
Probably the (Base) ?
Was just renamed shorter
it works great though
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
Hey, he said on another channel that he didn't disable anything from what I said on #🔨modded-gamma-support , so maybe you can try that
is it possible to use dxvk with reshade at the same time?
@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 ?
yes
even after trying your suggestion
it gets especially bad when going anywhere near the building where all the traders are.
Can you try ?
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?
this did not work 🥹
I think it's just a skill issue on my part
@mint owl just tried your reshade plus your setup! looks amazing only think I changed was replacing the asphalt texture and ground texture
is the lighting supposed to look like this? Seems like it's all textures
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
I recommend CS Eden's reshade
#🖇old-mods-posting message
alright, will check it out thanks mate
Nyet that Looks Like something is off
