[mint owl]

You should have this

Go to Reshade settings and make sure you have the same paths

Because otherwise, it's like your image, it's gonna be borked

[mint owl]

Yup

[mint owl]

You need to reload reshade, then quit the game, delete shader cache, then restart it

Then it should be fixed

You'd have an easier time having Both Anomaly & GAMMA on the same root of the same drive

[molten umbra]

what reshade makes the game more saturated and vibrant to help streaming

[mint owl]

You're going to be okay or you'll need help ?

[mint owl]

Hmm

Wanna go MP ?

I have just what you need

To fix that installation once and for all

[main remnant]

One message removed from a suspended account.

[mint owl]

Your installation isn't clean though

Unstable I'd say

[mild dome]

So it turns out certain shaders and combos of shaders break the save game screenshot.

Weird

[mint owl]

Save game screenshot ?

Nope

It should be in GAMMA RC3/Overwrite/bin

[mild dome]

Nah you know the thumbnails in the save menu?

They're blank with my current reshade in multiple games

Disable some shaders and they start saving again

[mint owl]

Weird crap x)

[mild dome]

It's the main shader in the preset too

[mint owl]

Which is ?

[mild dome]

Filmic Pass

[mint owl]

I'm using it without any issues x)

[mild dome]

[mint owl]

Oh wait, that thumbnail stuff ? Let me try real quick

If I save and then try to load, the save I've made have a thumbnail

[mild dome]

Wild. They don't show for me in both GAMMA and OGSR, two different engines

[warped heart]

right i've installed the pack thingy youve sent eden

there might be some settings needed to be changed on the reshade cause its still too bright

[sour oar]

Why not just turn down gamma in basic light settings?

[warped heart]

never thought about that

[mint owl]

I would have said so

But... how can I say that

Discord characters limit sucks

[sour oar]

Really feel like you just gotta throw your user.ltx in at that point

[mint owl]

People would then complain about being forced to use it, or that it does kill their performance

[sour oar]

You really can’t beat them huh

[ruby sierra]

Anyone know what's going on?

[sour oar]

Jesus is ascending from the heavens

Probably just an issue with blooming

[woeful veldt]

the zone got nuked

[ruby sierra]

That's what I assumed at first

but it only happens during a storm, I've already disabled everything related to bloom

I also disabled everything related to lighting and it still looks like that

[mint owl]

Let me take a WILD guess

You used debug weathers ?

[ruby sierra]

Actually I did

[mint owl]

Here you go

[ruby sierra]

That's kinda dumb

[mint owl]

Storm should never be used in debug weathers

[ruby sierra]

I see, thank you

[mint owl]

Not GAMMA's fault

It's an Anomaly thing

Never fixed

[ruby sierra]

But it's happened before, always during a storm

[mint owl]

Yeah

[ruby sierra]

I didn't use the debug thing and it still looked like that

Is it also an Anomaly thing?

[mint owl]

But it will happen everytime your storm isn't natural, at least on my side it's not happening

[ruby sierra]

Odd, maybe I'll test some more when a storm decides to show up since I saw that for the first time on a fresh install

Thank you

[mint owl]

Another thing to note

Debug weathers carries between saves until your reload the game or press the play button on it

[ruby sierra]

Noted

Spent like an hour trying to figure this out 🙃 but that should be the end of it

[hexed quest]

@mint owl which reshade do u use?

[mint owl]

Do you have an exemple of screenshot ?

[hexed quest]

nop just asking in general

[mint owl]

Then just my own Reshade

[ebon zenith]

Is there a mod I can turn off to stop the weird weather shaders where it's too bright or just looks weird or whatever, or some other way to fix it? It's driving me so crazy.

[mint owl]

What are you currently using ?

[ebon zenith]

Sorry for delay, was trying things out. I was just using the standard GAMMA setup. I'm no good with reshades so I don't touch anything.

However! I tried disabling "189- Enhanced Shaders - KennShade" and I think that was causing the problem.

Basically the problem was that in certain weather types (partly cloudy was the worst one) the game was way too oversaturated with brightness, it almost looked like the Borderlands games, almost cartoon-like. Interiors were especially bad, like in buildings. I posted a screenshot on here a couple of days ago and Grok replied saying he knows it's broken and needs to make a patch or something.

[mint owl]

Have you tried the latest update ?

[ebon zenith]

No because the servers were in total meltdown since Drewski told everyone Gamma existed so I didn't want to go through the pain of it

[mint owl]

Well, it's supposedly just a update so you won't risk much

It's not requiring a full install, just only addons update

Could try that, instructions in #📢announcements

[ebon zenith]

Do you know if the update specifically fixes the shader problem? Because if it doesn't I probably won't bother, I'm pretty happy with the state of everything else in Gamma

[mint owl]

"Better sun definitions for all weathers

• Better Clear weathers and suns (might be a bit too contrasted with dark shadows > need feedback)
• Better Clear weathers
• Better Partly weathers
• Better Foggy weathers + fixes" that's all, i won't update for now anyway because I don't need it at the moment, but I can't tell you if that will fix the issue, but it most likely can

[ruby sierra]

The values in the console keep resetting, any idea why?

I edit the lumscale and after a few seconds it goes back to the default value

[ebon zenith]

Thanks Eden, I'll give the update a try. I can always disable this KennShade thing again if it doesn't work.

[mint owl]

You need to disable Dynamic Tonemap first, you can do that either via MCM or MO2

[ruby sierra]

That did the trick, thank you

[mint owl]

[fading breach]

Is this a Reshade Thing? It somehow only affects my Binoculars.. and I'm not getting an answer elsewhere

[mint owl]

You didn't upgrade them did you ?

[vapid olive]

did you clear shader cache alrdy?

[fading breach]

No and yes

It appeared after Clearing Cache

[mint owl]

What happens when disabling reshade ?

[fading breach]

Lemme check

I retract my statement, after clearing shader cache the third time and restarting it suddenly disappeared. Huh.

Thanks regardless.

[mint owl]

Hmm, the game can be weird like that

[flint delta]

How do we uninstall reshadE?

[cedar isle]

Anyone have eden's reshade?

Looking to use that for my playthrough

[mint tartan]

#🖇old-mods-posting message

[cedar isle]

Appreciate it

[cedar isle]

Ay Eden you're reshade is dope as hell. Good job

[fast oyster]

hey guys, anyone know how to install a reshade pack?

[sour oar]

Instructions are usually attached to whichever reshade you are trying to install

It’s very simple, though

[fast oyster]

yeah i just noticed that nvm...

[runic tapir]

Hey, put it here on your priority list, its not great to mess with the order and priority of things but this game needs for that to be done. I had this problem but i fixed it by doing this, hope this helps!

[queen pecan]

For Eden reshade where should i put eye adaptation? Here?

Or here?

[sour oar]

None of the above

At the very bottom. Very bottom.

All the way down there so it can swim with the fishies

[queen pecan]

I believe it works now

Thoinks

[sour oar]

Make sure to actually select the reshade while in-game!

I’m not entirely sure if it is enabled or not

[queen pecan]

Yes it is. With reshade

And without

[glossy nebula]

I will try that and let you know how it goes!

[sour oar]

It’s a little hard to tell the difference since the swamps is so bare

But it’s definitely noticeable alongside a comparison

[runic tapir]

Also, I just did Inverno instead of the other winter mod, for inverno you have to go to the mod creators page and he has the download links and installation guide on there. It looks better imo but good luck I hope you are able to do what you want to do with your game!

[glossy nebula]

Inverno is massive compared to it and is technically for Dead Air so I dunno how entirely compatible it is with GAMMA.

If YAWM doesn't work even in that spot you showed I will probably go to Inverno tho.

[devout whale]

@queen pecan

[queen pecan]

I have it on 1.1

Should i decrease it?

[glossy nebula]

It worked. You beautiful bastard.

[mint owl]

On your first image it's perfect

[mint owl]

A good way to know if everything works fine is to press Home and see how many Reshade effects are active

[queen pecan]

So i should put it right before gamma disabled separator?

[mint owl]

Well, technically, whether it's there or all the way down shouldn't make a difference, I just put it right before GAMMA disabled so I know it's there and active

Just make sure to have grading vanilla and volumetric lighting, as well as all Reshade effects active

[queen pecan]

Ok and also quick question. Should i tweak something because i made changes from fps optimization channel?

[mint owl]

Such as ? What did you do ?

[queen pecan]

This part

[mint owl]

Oh, well, you will have a very barebone look since no shaders and most effects off but, should the Reshade will work in some ways still

[queen pecan]

It looks nice still

Also what colorgrading i need for it? All to 1?

[mint owl]

Color grading ? You mean the basic settings like gamma, brightness and saturation ?

[queen pecan]

Yup

[mint owl]

Because I don't touch the other two, only gamma level to 1, or some people may prefer 1.1

Did you type cfg_load grading_vanilla in the console ?

[queen pecan]

Yes

Just keep it that way?

[mint owl]

Fully compatible, just make sure to load it before/above Particles Cinematic VFX in the load order

[mint owl]

Absolutely, you're good, how many effects active in Reshade ?

[queen pecan]

Cant say now, will tell when i get home

Probably all

[mint owl]

No problem, I'd rather make sure, because I've seen some people messing that up and then saying it looks too bright with half active effects

[queen pecan]

10 out of 10 service

[stray wasp]

Anyone have reshade recommendations that don't require extra mods or have high vibrance/crazy colors?

[mint owl]

Never heard of that

[queen pecan]

@mint owl so i have this

And also after typing cfg_load grading_vanilla i still have my basic lighting settings

[mint owl]

Perfect

You're good to go

[queen pecan]

So i should keep gamma on 1 and everything else how i like?

[mint owl]

Either 1 or 1.1, whichever you like better

[ember jolt]

Hey, @mint owl! Someone recommended your reshades for Gamma. Where can I find these, how to install etc.? 🙂

[mint owl]

Sure thing #🖇old-mods-posting message

[ember jolt]

Great, thanks! 😉

[vapid olive]

at this rate Eden, we should either pin it or make a command

[maiden summit]

I agree, I was just about to ask the same question
poor dude probably gets a bunch of pings

[ember jolt]

@mint owl "3. Drag & drop the Toned Down Eye Adaptation folder in your MO2 and load it after "Turn this on if you stutter".

Not sure how to understand this. Drag and drop into MO2 directly (doesn't work), or into the folder with the ModOrganizer.exe?

And what do you mean by "load after"? A lower priority (further down in the mod list)?

Should I enable "Turn this on if you stutter" (even if it doesn't).

Thanks.

[maiden summit]

if you drag the folder into the MO2 UI, it doesn't give you the option to import it and turn it into a mod?

[ember jolt]

@maiden summit Nope, I just get a red stop sign.

[maiden summit]

Try ctrl + m and then select the folder

and yes, give it a lower priority than "Turn this on if you stutter". You don't have to turn on the stutter fix mod

[ember jolt]

That opens a menu, but its looking for Mod Archives (*.001 *7z etc), not a folder.

Ctrl + M

The folder contains "*.vs"-files.

No zipped files.

[maiden summit]

you could try zipping the "Toned Down Eye Adaptation" folder and then install it that way

strange that you can't just do it as a regular unzipped folder though

[ember jolt]

Looking good.

I assume this is okay?

Should I delete the whole "shaders_cache" folder, or just its contents?

[maiden summit]

are you using the golden autumn stuff? or just base gamma?

[ember jolt]

Base gamma

Do you recommend Golden autumn in addition to this?

[maiden summit]

I haven't used golden autumn so idk sorry
there's a "delete shader cache" check box in the anomaly launcher, you just have to tick that

just make sure the mod is below the stutter fix mod, and that it is enabled

you don't have to enable the stutter fix

[ember jolt]

Where's the "Reshade Menu"? 🙂

[maiden summit]

press home on your keyboard

[ember jolt]

Aha, I see it on the Keybinds sheet. 😉

[mint owl]

Sorry for the delay, for the next update I'll provide it in zip file, by drag and drop, it can only work if you sort your mods by priority

Which was by default for me somehow

[ember jolt]

Thanks for all the help, @maiden summit ! No prob, @mint owl . Looks like it's up and running now!

[mint owl]

So you did all the steps ?

[maiden summit]

huh
that's odd
thanks for the info, I never would have figured that out if it wasn't default for me too

[mint owl]

Volumetric, Grading vanilla, all 17 effects active ? @ember jolt

[mint owl]

MO2 actually tells you that in the bar I think

If you need priority sorting when drag and dropping a folder

I'll correct that nonetheless on next update, it seems to be irking a lot of people x)

[maiden summit]

ah okay, I guess it can't hurt to make it more obvious though.
Thanks for the reshade, it looks amazing :)

[mint owl]

I would but Discord characters limit has been reached long ago

[mint owl]

Glad it does, are all your effects active as well ?

[maiden summit]

yep, 17

[mint owl]

Perfect then

Are you using GAMMA Weathers ?

If so I recommend 1 or 1.1 for gamma level is basic settings

[maiden summit]

yeah I am, how do I change that value?

nevermind, figured it out sorry

thankyou

[mint owl]

No problem ^^

[mint owl]

I swear, I should ask for my own bot x)

[vapid olive]

one command should be fine or at least a Pin in this channel so you can refer people to a "where to get & how to install"

[mint owl]

I think the pin wouldn't work

Because no one reads pin x)

[vapid olive]

you assume poeple read anything

big mistake

[mint owl]

Yeah, I'm going to get pinged for the rest of my life

https://tenor.com/view/crying-black-guy-meme50fps-interpolated-interpolated-crying-black-guy-crying-crying-black-guy-gif-23747218

[maiden summit]

no pin: have to give people the answer to their question
pin: have to tell people to read the pin that answers their question

[mint owl]

Life of a modder 😢

[flat phoenix]

Why can't I drag and drop your toned eye adaptation into mo2 🤔

[mint owl]

Try clicking priority (below active addons)

Make sure to click again if the order is inverted

[flat phoenix]

I meant, drag the folder into mo2 to add it

It's not letting me

[mint owl]

Yeah

That's why

You need to click that in order to allow drag and drop again

[flat phoenix]

Still no

[mint owl]

Alternatively, try to zip the file

[flat phoenix]

gonna relaunch mo2

yeah that was plan C

[mint owl]

I'll do that for next update, to fix that once and for all

[flat phoenix]

By the way, is your adaptive reshade supposed to have qUINT_Bloom enabled twice?

[maiden summit]

it isn't for me. do you have 17 effects active?

[mint owl]

Refer to the end of my post

And check your shaders paths in Reshade settings

Should be like that, or close to

[flat phoenix]

Yup paths are good, I do have 18 effects though and that's because of the quint bloom being duplicated. weird

[mint owl]

Do you have an extra path ?

You took my reshade shaders folder right ?

[flat phoenix]

My paths were just like the image

[mint owl]

And you have the exact same folder I have in bin ?

[flat phoenix]

Ah I found the culprit. I have all the qUINT effects also sitting in bin\reshade-shaders\Shaders

That's probably why

[mint owl]

You don't have the same one I do ?

[flat phoenix]

I do

[mint owl]

And I don't have this issue

[flat phoenix]

I just remembered I copy pasted all the qUINT effects over to that folder a week or two ago

Because they weren't showing up for some reason back then

[mint owl]

Ah, yes, I deleted the first folder to get mine

Next time I'll put a readme as instructions to bypass characters limit, so I can get every detail possible

Including a troubleshooting section

[flat phoenix]

By the way do you know your gamma setting by heart

I find indoors is a bit too dark still but upping the gamma too much is gonna make everything way too bright outside

[mint owl]

By heart not really but at least the essential

Ah, don't

Indoors are tied to the weather outside

If it's plain sunny you will have brighter indoors

[flat phoenix]

Ah

[mint owl]

Old game be like

[flat phoenix]

Ok yeah it is a gloomy 10 am in Zaton

probably makes sense

[mint owl]

Yup, nothing I can do about that

Unless you know of a reshade effect base on indoors only

[flat phoenix]

I'd like a reshade effect that makes me find a set of expert tools in this next stash I'm opening

[mint owl]

Easy one, it's called Debug Mode

[tired hazel]

hey , when they ask to put the toned down eyed adaption in MO2, where is it ? 🙂

drag and drop here ?

(I tried it worked)

[mint owl]

It's in the archive, and by drag and drop I mean clic the folder and make it slide to your addons in MO2

[tired hazel]

thanks, and for deleting the shader cache, which one specifically, the one in here ?

or the one in %appdata%

[mint owl]

Appdata

The one here on your screen

[tired hazel]

ok so the anomaly one thanks

[mint owl]

Yeah

[tired hazel]

maybe just put it in the mod onyl posting, to avoid more of my maybe obivous question and make you more free time ahaha xD

[mint owl]

No more characters allowed, I did put it in the section below but I gonna invert the two

[tired hazel]

oh damnn fck, mybad!

[mint owl]

Fixed

I assume you're gonna use GAMMA Weathers, so make sure your gamma level is at 1 or 1.1 (based on your preference) in basic settings (need to be in game to access these settings)

[tired hazel]

I'm checking right now, I was about to ask you, what's the difference between those two ?

[mint owl]

Well, it's all in the name

And instructions on which is for what

[tired hazel]

mybad, I will go regular shade

[mint owl]

Make sure to read the IMPORTANT section as well

[tired hazel]

i think Im good, I just dont find the gamma Im blind

[mint owl]

17 effects active ?

Volumetric and grading_vanilla loaded ?

[tired hazel]

yeeep

all 17 + volu and grading

volumetric is this right ?

[mint owl]

Yup, you're good to go

Just don't forget gamma level

[tired hazel]

where is it ? search everything in settings and dont see it

[mint owl]

In game

You have to be in game

Not on the menu

[tired hazel]

Im even at 1.2 didnt even know how xD

[mint owl]

Default level x)

1 is what I recommend but 1.1 should still do

[tired hazel]

Im good I supposed

[mint owl]

Based on preference only

But yeah, you're good to go

[tired hazel]

I will see on screenshot channel, some settings are really good, so far it's a bit too washed out color wise for me

[hexed quest]

@mint owl do you know of any fix for this water pixel jittery bug?

[mint owl]

Did you activate SSR ?

In reshade effect ?

@hexed quest

[hexed quest]

nope

[empty oracle]

Does anyone happen to have a list of the default reshade options that it usually starts with?

or is there a way i can reinstall it to have the default stuff?

[mint owl]

Doesn't show up on my side

Can you tell me your weather and time of day ?

Accessible in debug mode then esc, F7 then 3 (not the numpad one)

[mint owl]

!default

[void depot]

Modlist
To bring your mod list back to default, inverting any changes made by you:

1. Open the installer with admin rights
2. Click on Only install G.A.M.M.A. addons

Keybinds
To bring your keybinds to default, DON'T press the default button in the menu, you'll mess up everything.
Instead, do this:

1. Go in GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\appdata
2. Copy the user.ltx file you'll find in there (note that every change made by you in your user.ltxwill be reverted to default)
3. Paste this file in Anomaly\appdata

[mint owl]

Should give you back the bin folder the way it was

And look at that for reference

[mint owl]

Another thing, try to disable Reshade, and see if that effect remain

If it does, then it's on your end

[swift robin]

can someone tell me how to get the expiditiob reshade into gamma

expidition*

[pulsar turtle]

Is there any other presets in the gamma modpack?

[sour oar]

There is the vanilla Anomaly one.. but if you want reshades you should look at the work of some others here

[swift robin]

Got the Agressor Reshade, Got this in my game now. The hell did I do wrong?

[mint owl]

[vivid spoke]

Look good to me

[sour oar]

[mint owl]

Looks like Aggressor to me

[mint owl]

More seriously, you might want to consider another Reshade to be honest, or try to fix it I guess

You can also try to disable Reshade or switch back to GAMMA Reshade and see if you suddenly see something

If you do, then you have your answer

If it's still dark when switching back and you have no other mod installed, go to #🔨base-gamma-support

https://tenor.com/view/ضحك-صور-gif-23100362

[sour oar]

I learned this too late unfortunately

I had to start from scratch to make my own reshade (which is so much better than Aggressor btw ) because I figured out that Aggressor sucks as a base

[vivid spoke]

We are never better served than by ourselves

[mint owl]

Agreed

[mint owl]

By the way I hope you're not using Neo Bloom x)

[sour oar]

I would never!

Prod80 bloom all the way

[mint owl]

Well, the thing is, it looks okay, but I found it makes walls diffuse light like crazy

[sour oar]

Neo bloom or prod80 bloom?

[mint owl]

Neo Bloom

[mint owl]

I managed to tame FGFX

[sour oar]

Hell yea

That's what I was gonna try with my finishing touches lul

It's a great effect

[mint owl]

It is, when you take off that nasty effect

[sour oar]

🤝

[errant fossil]

God I love the way this looks, but I can’t imagine playing with quite that level of foliage in STALKER. Will give me ArmA flashbacks even with the foliage as cover plugin.

I just need to train my elven eyes more so it wouldn’t be a problem.

[mint owl]

Oh, Golden Autumn is definitely particular for sure x) But yeah, a bit of Skyrim and you'll be ready xD

[silk eagle]

this is what is ticketed by default? I disable everything now i dont know wich ones ware ticketed

[mint owl]

Yes, default GAMMA Reshade is exactly that

[tribal lake]

Any reshades that look great with Inverno?

[sour oar]

Eden has a good one

[zealous gale]

I downloaded the JARP reshade and it looks nowhere near as pretty as it did in the photos. Anyone have a prettier one they'd reccomend?

Not hyper colorful, just maybe more colorfully cinematic?

[sour oar]

If you want colour without too much of it, I'd recommend CS Eden's Golden Autumn reshade

Honestly I'm always out here recommending Eden's stuff but it's a fact that it's as good as it gets

[zealous gale]

I just want it to be more realistic is all. How it looks now is kinda washed out and grey like no postfx tarkov

[sour oar]

#🖇old-mods-posting message

Here's the link to Eden's reshade

You can use the one for vanilla GAMMA but it will still have most of the 'dead' feel (albeit more alive for sure), there is also the version for Golden Autumn which lets you have a much more alive zone

[zealous gale]

Thank you!

[sour oar]

#🖇old-mods-posting message if you are interested in the golden autumn one you will need to install a seperate mod from here, but it's all very simple

[zealous gale]

I think I might try out that aggressor one

[sour oar]

Feel free

But, if you don't mind me saying, Aggressor would not be my first pick for a variety of reasons

[olive locust]

Hey guys. I’ve not yet played with reshapes but running GAMMA. There’s so many good screenshots to mention but @mint owl’s work stood out the most. Is there a channel specifically with reshade settings? Or is this it? I’d just like to have a small list of the community’s suggested reshapes to try and make my GAMMA experience look a bit better on the eye so to speak. Thanks in advance.

[swift robin]

Just use Eden’s reshade

#🖇old-mods-posting message

[olive locust]

Will do. I seen a few mention other bloom addons and other visual "improvements" - Does anyone recommend any of these or stick to just Edens reshade?

[swift robin]

It’s all preference

[sour oar]

Just stick with Eden’s, honestly. He has some included

[olive locust]

Okay thanks both 🙂

4. **Disable** Skies Redux, Roadside Lens Flare, Simple Autumn Retexture (no leaves), Gardener of the Zone, GAMMA Weathers & Grulag's Dead Bushes.
5. **Delete** shader cache **before** launching the game.
6. In the options, select **Volumetric** instead of Screen Space.
7. Same as above, open the console and type : **cfg_load grading_vanilla**  OR **cfg_load grading_cold** (for Winter addons users)
8. Select Eden's Adaptive Reshade (or Winter variant) in Reshade menu. Enjoy.```
^^^ I think I prefer this reshade out of the two, can this be used in GAMMA also? Or just the GAMMA setting? Checked the readme but just finished a night shift so it may just be me being tired and stupid. My apologies

[sour oar]

Works in GAMMA, just gotta get an additional mod

[olive locust]

Alright cool, I think that's what I shall do then

[olive locust]

So is the additional mod Eden's Adaptive Reshade?

or Golden Autumn Redux

[sour oar]

Golden Autumn Redux

The other one is the reshade itself

[olive locust]

Okay. I'm just going off the readme.txt - so just follow the above and make sure Golden Autumn Redux is downloaded and active and I'm good to go?

[sour oar]

Essentially yup

Make sure you follow steps 1-3 as well, not just the steps you’ve linked

[olive locust]

Okay, thanks Night. I'll give it a go now 🤞

[sour oar]

[olive locust]

@sour oar last question mate I promise. I drop the Toned Down Eye Adaptation folder into MO2 and enable but how do I make sure it's loaded last as stated in the instructions? I'm not familiar with MO2 interface as of yet. Think I managed to do the rest though

[sour oar]

Dw about the questions man I’m here to help

For as long as I’m awake anyway :P

I’m not entirely sure what that window is honestly, I install through a different fashion

[sour oar]

When it says loaded last it really just means at the very bottom of your list

[olive locust]

This is my MO2 if it helps

[sour oar]

Yup that’s right

All the way at the bottom

[olive locust]

So the bottom of that MO2 window means loaded last? I don't need to fuck about with the conflicts at all?

[sour oar]

Yup yup

[olive locust]

Alright sweet! almost ready to check in-game

[olive locust]

Golden Autumn Redux on mod.db?

[sour oar]

#🖇old-mods-posting message

Use this one to be sure

Same thing though I think

[olive locust]

1. Install 00. Anomaly Season's Redux (BASE) through MO2 (Mod Organizer 2)
2. Install only one of the following:

So do I need that Anomaly Season's Redux instead? 😄 🤦‍♂️

[sour oar]

No

One or the other work with the same reshade

I prefer Golden Autumn Redux

But yea just install what it tells you to

It works either way

I.. explained that badly lol

0.0 is just the base, it doesn’t matter that it’s called Autumn Season because it works with Golden Autumn anyway

[olive locust]

Right that discord post is confusing me so I found the google drive with 1.Golden Autumn Redux. Enable that. Do the following

1. **Make a backup of your original appdata & bin folder (found in your Anomaly folder)**
2. Extract the content of the downloaded archive, then copy the resulting appdata and bin folder onto your Anomaly folder, paste and overwrite.
3. Drop the Toned Down Eye Adaptation in your MO2 and load it after all your active addons.```
then
```**FOR GOLDEN AUTUMN/AUTUMN SEASON/WINTER ADDONS USERS:**
4. **Disable** Skies Redux, Roadside Lens Flare, Simple Autumn Retexture (no leaves), Gardener of the Zone, GAMMA Weathers & Grulag's Dead Bushes.
5. **Delete** shader cache **before** launching the game.
6. In the options, select **Volumetric** instead of Screen Space.
7. Same as above, open the console and type : **cfg_load grading_vanilla**  OR **cfg_load grading_cold** (for Winter addons users)
8. Select Eden's Adaptive Reshade (or Winter variant) in Reshade menu. Enjoy.```
and I'm golden, right?

[sour oar]

Ye

Idk what is exactly confusing about the install instructions for golden Autumn though

[olive locust]

I'm a special kind of retard

[sour oar]

So I mean you can install the mod without instructions but if anything breaks don’t blame me

[olive locust]

Of course not 🙂

[sour oar]

Not that you would

[olive locust]

"1. Install 00. Anomaly Season's Redux (BASE) through MO2 (Mod Organizer 2)" - For reference this is what spun me out as it wasn't mentioned at all in the readme, only that discord post. That's all. Maybe I'm confusing filenames but I dunno. I've followed what the readme says and made sure that Golden Autum Redux has been downloaded and active also so I should be alright

[oblique gulch]

Does this modpack work with quantum?

[zealous gale]

Any screenshots comparing Golden early autumn and late autumn ?

[olive locust]

I promise this is the last question even if I do fuck it up @sour oar 😄
Downloaded Golden Autum Redux and there's these two bad boys, are both needed? The other is referring to MCM and Main Menu

I'm installing via MO2 just like I did with Toned Down Eye Adaption

[sour oar]

Don’t select the main menu one

That would screw over some stuff since GAMMA has its own menu

[olive locust]

Okay, thank you VERY VERY much for being so patient

boom

[sour oar]

Ohhhh

You installed the old version

No need to change since it works fine

I was just curious why your download looked a bit different

[olive locust]

Did I? I used the google drive link?

[sour oar]

The one in the discord post I linked?

[olive locust]

Yeah I think so, from https://www.moddb.com/members/pab1oescobar

[sour oar]

The one I linked was to the newest version but you might have made your way to the older one

Uh oh

You did an oopsie then

You’re missing the base

The one I said the name doesn’t matter

It’s called “0.0 Autumn Season BASE” or so, it should be in the google drive

[olive locust]

this google drive, right?

[sour oar]

Put that above your Golden Autumn Redux in mod organizer 2 and you are set

[sour oar]

Yup, far left

[zealous gale]

Would you mind helping me out NightCat?

[olive locust]

https://tenor.com/view/war-dogs-war-dogs-movie-stressed-facepalm-gif-5727928

Downloading the base now. You're a legend Night

[sour oar]

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

[olive locust]

Will screenshot MO2 to be super sure once it's downloaded now lol

[sour oar]

I’m about to go sleep lol but I can see, what’s the issue?

[zealous gale]

So I downloaded this

https://mega.nz/file/2mJDwbrJ#PGqoQ5RWINFV2jezX4owBUb7odUMtxbKpmrspEbMtAk

That was the most recent link that you linked me to through moidonlyposting

I open this in the MO2 manager, right?

[sour oar]

Is that Golden Autumn or Eden’s reshade?

[zealous gale]

Eden's Adaptive Reshade

I think that's the wrong one

[sour oar]

You don’t install that through mod organizer 2 no

[zealous gale]

I was trying to do the early autumn one

T_T

[brazen sapphire]

does anyone have the gamma ui mask? i accidentally overwrote mine...

[sour oar]

You open the archive, take everything inside and extract it into your Anomay/bin folder

[zealous gale]

I don't have the base

[sour oar]

You don’t need it for the reshade

It’s optional

[sour oar]

So after this you’d be set but you can download Golden Autumn Redux to make full use of Eden’s reshade

[zealous gale]

alrighty it's downloaded

[mild dome]

The texture file? You can copy the original from the Grok Modpack folder, it's in there somewhere

[brazen sapphire]

ahhh somewhere...

[sour oar]

I unfortunately can’t help much - I’d love to, but I really need to sleep, it’s 2:20 am lol. I walked BYR4M through it’s installation, I hope most of your questions are answered there

[sour oar]

Anomaly/bin/shaders-textures (I think? Something along those lines)/UIMASK.fx

[brazen sapphire]

that mustve been the one i overwrote

[sour oar]

Yeah but

Look into your original anomaly archive

It’ll be there

[brazen sapphire]

archive?

[sour oar]

7zip archive

[brazen sapphire]

lol i have an archive?

[sour oar]

I’m too tired to deal with this

Oh sorry @olive locust that wasn’t towards you; everything looks alright

[mild dome]

The UI mask is gonna be part of GAMMA's folder, seriously easiest to just search for it

I am also going to bed

Good luck 🤌

[sour oar]

“I need to go sleep” gang

You have my bow.. but that’s about it

[brazen sapphire]

I HAD A BACKUP

[olive locust]

It's all good man I feel bad for you so deleted the last post :p get some sleep 💤

[brazen sapphire]

the world is saved

[sour oar]

[olive locust]

😉

Looks beautiful

First time ever playing around with or attempting to use a reshade preset. Amazing work @mint owl and sleep well @sour oar 💯

[brazen sapphire]

fixed the bloom problem

[tired hazel]

what are your parameters do have this colorful setup ? 🙂

[mint owl]

Thank you @sour oar for the support 💙

[olive locust]

what do you mean, sorry?

[mint owl]

Just to clear up here, the Reshade is the same for GAMMA's setup or Golden Autumn/Season Redux's setup, the efficiency will just be different

There is however the winter variant that is tailored for my own repack

And I plan to update my Reshades soon

[tired hazel]

its the base eden reshade ? you didn't add anything or modify stuff ?

[olive locust]

nope, all @mint owl work. I installed the Golden Autumn Reshade

[tired hazel]

oh damn ok! super nice, now I want to switch

[olive locust]

you won't regret it

[mint owl]

Just make to read the post carefully for the Reshade, all parts are important

[olive locust]

May I ask what you suggest looks the best when it comes to grass density and size? A screenshot would be amazing if and when you have the time. Played around with mine now I can’t make them look good again lol

[mint owl]

Well you should check my Reshade instructions, I've put a link with Golden Autumn screenshots in there

Usually a high density but not too high, about 190 rendering distance, and 0.8 grass height

[queen pecan]

Damn fps hit

[mint owl]

Hard to quantify grass density but from the right you should be able to move your slider 5-6 times at least before reaching maximum, no more than that

But I have a 3060ti and using DX11 (not AVX)

[ebon oasis]

wow loads of reshades, I don't even know where to start

I guess with CS Eden 😄

[queen pecan]

Idk eden reshade hits fps hard

[olive locust]

Mine wasn’t hit personally.

[queen pecan]

Idk i have not the worst specs but deffault gamma settings runs kinda bad. With my tweaks and partially disabled reshade i can get 60-70 fps, but with eden ot goes to 40 easilly

[olive locust]

DX11 or DX11 AVX out of curious ity? I don’t know the difference lol

Like what’s the difference

[tired hazel]

what are your specs ? me with eden reshades + high/ultra high im 70+ minimum but 90 average with 3080 i7 10gen 32GB of Ram on SSD sata3

[queen pecan]

Gtx 1060 r5 1600 16gb ram

[tired hazel]

quite old, not bad bad, but sadly with heavy modded games yeah you soon out 😦

are you running it on a SSD ? or HDD ?

[queen pecan]

Anomaly on ssd gamma on hdd

[tired hazel]

put everything on SSD wil be better already 🙂

[queen pecan]

Oh no transfering 70 gigs of mods

[tired hazel]

might need full reinstall as moving folder is not good apparently xD

[mint owl]

DX11 is better for more powerful GPU while DX11 AVX is for the less powerful by allowing more load on the CPU

[tired hazel]

oh my I need to jump on DX11 only then

[mint owl]

Should work, I noticed the difference instantly

[tired hazel]

payed 1000€ for my 3080 I intend to use it 100% (so far im at 50%)

[queen pecan]

I get 1 more fps with avx

[mint owl]

You tried the Core 0 fix ?

[mint owl]

It will never run at 100% capacity due to the nature of stalker old engine, but it will feel better for sure

[queen pecan]

I did it through task manager

Didnt see difference

[tired hazel]

yeah, let's hope for stalker 2 😄

[ebon oasis]

yeah i see what you mean, i went from 150 to 95

hmm binding free zoom key to my normal ADS key is a gamechanger 😄

[mint owl]

People are quite mixed about it to be honest, some of them don't lose any performances, others are gaining a little bit, some others are losing performances

As for myself, no change in fps

[ebon oasis]

its odd, does look pretty though 🙂

[tired hazel]

what CG do you have ? 🙂

[ebon oasis]

CG?

[tired hazel]

graphic card*

[mint owl]

3060ti

[ebon oasis]

3080 Ti

[tired hazel]

damn

[mint owl]

Try DX11 only

[tired hazel]

on my 3080 I kept same perf

on AVX

[ebon oasis]

already with no AVX

[tired hazel]

you are on SSD 32Gb of Ram ?

[ebon oasis]

SSD 64gb

[mint owl]

Well, I had someone reporting that disabling unsharp.fx in Reshade helps but... well, it's here for a reason x)

[ebon oasis]

GAMMA reshade i lose 20fps but almost 50 if I dont remove the correct color shader

yes I noticed unsharp costs me about 10fps

I wonder if the bigger loss is because I play at 3440x1440

[tired hazel]

ooooh

[mint owl]

I'm usually at 50-60 or higher, unless it's Dead City

[mint owl]

Quite possibly yes

[tired hazel]

I play in 2560x1440 between 75 and 110

[mint owl]

Resolution is the biggest impact you can make on performances

[ebon oasis]

low latency mode helps a lot with 'feel' especially if you drop the fps

[tired hazel]

try play in 2k, I think you will see difference

go activate DLSS lol

[mint owl]

Simple theory but I think my Reshade hits harder as resolution goes up

Since the effects are covering more pixels

[tired hazel]

make sense!

for golden autumn I download this pack https://www.moddb.com/members/pab1oescobar ?

[mint owl]

Yeah, don't forget to follow instructions on it

[tired hazel]

yep on it!

[mint owl]

You need the base 00 as well

[tired hazel]

hhhm I don't know this

[mint owl]

Well it's all on the page instructions

[tired hazel]

tested AVX and without, the DX11 makes have 15+fps on average with 2k resolution and eden's reshade basic, not bad!

[mint owl]

15fps more is always welcome xD

[tired hazel]

well actually, I'm going from 60-70 to 85/90 in middle of the swamp

so more like 20+ average, and 35 in peaks

https://tenor.com/view/youre-an-impressive-specimen-dwight-schrute-rainn-wilson-the-office-nbc-gif-16114892

[swift robin]

is it possible to use exp graphics in gamma

[forest vessel]

#🖇old-mods-posting someone made a guide for that

[queen pecan]

If i put gamma on ssd, will increase fps or only speed up loading screens?

[tired hazel]

both, faster to access everything it needs, I don't know at what extent, but switching from HDD to SSD is an easy way to gain performance when you have old config. (but recommend you to look for you config

for golden autumn, I basically need to first put the 00 folder in MO2 and then Golden Autumn redux right ? then I deactivate the mods from instruction and clear cache etc etc...

[mint owl]

What do the arrows mean ?

[tired hazel]

drag and drop in the MO2

[mint owl]

00 then 01 Golden Autumn

Then disable Roadside lensflare, Simple autumn Retexture, gardener of the zone, GAMMA weathers and Grulag's Dead Bushes

[tired hazel]

yeah follow instruction, was not entirely sure about dropping them directly like I did

[pallid nebula]

how you guys reliably edit the colour palette of your settings? I'm trying to get a Mirror by Tarkovsky kinda photography. I don't know anything of reshades or grading lol

[mint owl]

Reshade is all about enabling different effects and tweaking their values until you get something visually pleasing, while grading is more of an omnipresent effect, like a tone of colour or lack thereof, in that case, open the console with tilde key under escape and type : cfg_load grading_warm

You can replace warm by cold or default

And if you add grading to your Anomaly appdata folder, you can have more available

[pallid nebula]

the only effects that I don't get to much is levels, curves, lut

[mint owl]

They are specifically made, at least in my case, to balance nights and make them for consistently dark with the right amount of light

[pallid nebula]

and in regards to sunlight, what can I do with really bright sunlight? I tried to mitigate that but with no result. Getting blind lol

and thanks for taking the time to answer my idiotic questions

[mint owl]

What are you using ?

Oh don't worry, it's better than most questions I get

[pallid nebula]

I was using majestic weathers with ES-pbr, and the new SSS with shadow fixes

the presets of majestic

[mint owl]

I can't do much for you, you should reduce gamma setting (in basic settings while playing)

[pallid nebula]

ok, I'll try more with the in-game settings

[mint owl]

Gamma level is all you need really

It's alongside brightness and saturation, below resolution, when you're playing though, not on the main menu

[barren drum]

https://prnt.sc/7cPGxiUuY04n

Can any one help?

[mint owl]

#🔨base-gamma-support

[arctic lake]

If u guys want your game to look 10x better

type those commands in the console

r2_sun_lumscale 3.0
r2_sun_lumscale_hemi 1.0
r2_sun_lumscale_amb 0.5

[sour oar]

Woah buddy

Sun lumscale at 3? Isn’t that like improvised bloom

[mint owl]

I'll be fine though x)

[arctic lake]

@sour oar YOu will be surprised at how well the game will look

also i stopped using Agresor reshade (weather) and just use the gamma weather

I cant explain it but the colors look so real and vibrant but also dark is actual black now... not just some shade of grey

[sour oar]

Yea but that's the thing, I would never bring the hemi down so low because it clashes with my theme

[mint owl]

I'll be good with what I have

[sour oar]

🤝

[mint owl]

You saved your soul, congrats

[arctic lake]

whoa

[mint owl]

Wanna know another secret ? cfg_load grading_vanilla

[arctic lake]

i used grading default

[mint owl]

Yeah

[arctic lake]

lets check the vanilla!

is it the same?

[mint owl]

It's the same

[arctic lake]

aaa ok ok

yep thats the one i use

[mint owl]

But that's a good step in the right direction

[arctic lake]

oh wow ure a modder

my deepest appreciations to u Eden

[mint owl]

Thank you 💙

I'm just the Reshade guy lately

[arctic lake]

Do you have any idea what causes the "reload/bring gun up sound" whenever I run

[mint owl]

Well, I don't have much experience with sounds but best is to ask in #🔨base-gamma-support if your list is vanilla

[arctic lake]

I remmeber reading that in newer gamma version the AI is more aggresive because it was coded that moving makes the AI consider that your are reloading

so they push you more

my list is pretty vanilla, just a few extra mods

[dusky swallow]

Hi guys i want my game to be more ambient, better graphics and so on. i have all reshaders disable. what are the best reshaders i should have on? i just want to try to have a good balance framefrate/graphics and want to test things out. what are your suggestions?

[arctic lake]

just default gamma

[mint owl]

Such as ?

[dusky swallow]

what do you mean by that?

[arctic lake]

unzip this into anomaly / bin

[mint owl]

Pretty sure the culprit is one of these

[arctic lake]

ingame press Home to open reshade and select the gamma reshde 2

[arctic lake]

yes i think now that the problem is the EFT weapon sounds

its scripted that replaces your gun reload with the ones from that mod

[mint owl]

Try disabling one by one, the old fashioned way

But yeah

This one is suspicious for sure

[arctic lake]

I have another question but id rather ask u in private so we dont spam here

[mint owl]

Sure thing

[flat phoenix]

I'm a grading_cold enjoyer myself but maybe I will try vanilla a bit

[nimble pier]

WOW, what is this reshade ?

[loud kelp]

Anyone got any recommendations to make the game more visually pleasing?

[arctic lake]

type those commands in the console
r2_sun_lumscale 3.0
r2_sun_lumscale_hemi 1.0
r2_sun_lumscale_amb 0.5

[zealous gale]

What are your graphic settings??

[arctic lake]

disable agressor reshade and enable gamma weathers

[mint owl]

My own Reshade, but it's the Final edit, which is not released yet

[trail leaf]

Nice job

[zealous gale]

Oh I meant like graphic settings in options. I have your autumn reshade right now and my graphics are on extreme but doesn't look as good as yours.

[loud kelp]

What does this do if you dont mind me asking? Very interested in understanding how to work with the mods and the whole experince of the game

[mint owl]

Oh, nothing really changed, lighting is on Volumetric, I have gamma level at 1, color grading vanilla, high grass density, 190-210 rendering distance, 0.8 grass height

[zealous gale]

Right on thank you

[mint owl]

But from my previous reshade, that's a really noticeable improvement

[arctic lake]

I feel like i've made it to the endgame

[vivid terrace]

what reshade is that?

[zealous gale]

Everything I've seen of yours has just been 10/10. Very impressed.

[real chasm]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/reshade
It's pretty good. Fucks up your Ingame UI though. Sadly its the same effect that gives good Shadows to everything

[empty oracle]

Reshade isn't popping up for dx11, or 10. only dx8, Any idea why that would be?

[vivid terrace]

i play with UI off, does it mess up the inv screens or any of those?

[real chasm]

Sorry, i meant the actual Inventory Screen. It's not totally screwed. But very unpleaseant to read.

You can try and see how you like it.
Normal UI => Fine
Inventory => messy

[vivid terrace]

ahhh able to show me what ya mean?

[real chasm]

Nah, i'm using another ReShade rn

[vivid terrace]

ahh gotcha

ill check it out then

[real chasm]

Ah i know, the Main SCreen

You know how the Main Screen with the Option you select has that Glass effect? That kind of unreadable stuff.

Maybe that helps

[vivid terrace]

ahhhh okok

maybe ill pass on that one and find a new one hahaa

[real chasm]

you can disable it though. It's the SSR effect i believe, which you should use in Rain only.

Just try it out, worst to come you either tweak it or delete ti.

[vivid terrace]

fair

thanks for the info!!

[mint owl]

Thank you very much ^^

[mint owl]

Sounds like someone making that didn't take the UI into account

[mint owl]

And this sounds like PPFX SSDO or MXAO

[real chasm]

Well its Volg his ReShade

Luckily i have big brain so i recall every ReShade related to my Screenshots

[mint owl]

Pretty good skill x)

[real chasm]

Only weird thing i found out, after i used his ReShade my Overlay for ReShade itself became a mess

[mint owl]

PPFX SSDO - Deepens dark shadows and dark edges

He listed that in his Reshade

[real chasm]

Wasn't it SSR that screw up the Inventory UI though?

[mint owl]

Both

[real chasm]

well im testing it anyway @vivid terrace if you want to wait a bit longer i can test it for you

[mint owl]

SSR is useless because GAMMA has SSR as well

The Reshade one is bad

[real chasm]

But it looks so good though

[vivid terrace]

sure! i am working atm anyway ahha

[real chasm]

@mint owl Do you know where the Backup of Vanila ReShade was again in Gamma?

[mint owl]

GAMMA RC3/.Grok's Modpack Installer/G.A.M.M.A/modpack_patches/bin

[real chasm]

thx

[nimble pier]

Is your reshade the one that comes with GAMMA or is there a download link for it ?

[mint owl]

#🖇old-mods-posting message Here it is

Not coming with GAMMA though

Just make sure to read it carefully though

[sour oar]

I wouldn't complain if Eden's reshade was the default for GAMMA

[deft basin]

Holy crap that's beautiful man! Big respect

[mint owl]

Thank you very much ^^

[velvet inlet]

how exactly do you put it in the console? and is it the debug console?

[real chasm]

Tilt Key, the one left to your 1

[deft basin]

Just a quick question, whenever you release that final edit of your reshade, where can we find it? Going to try and install your current ones rn

[mint owl]

I'll post it in #🖇old-mods-posting

If you have any questions feel free to ask

[flat current]

Hey I just typed this in command, but I wanna revert, how to do this?

[mint owl]

Just type : cfg_load grading_warm

[flat current]

Thanks! Is there some sort of list to see them all?

[mint owl]

Default (= Vanilla), Cold and Warm 🙂

[flat current]

Oh I see, so its grading_vanilla / cold / warm only?

[mint owl]

Yeah, by default, only these three

[flat current]

Got more secrets that I don’t know about xd?

[mint owl]

Many, but that would take too long x)

[drifting shore]

Now.... who will teach me the ways of the reshade?

[spark harbor]

is this thread for sharing reshade presets?

[river flower]

Can you just play the game for few years before breaking it again?

[drifting shore]

No.

I will reach peak GAMMA graphics before I am ready to play.

[weary forum]

Your pc will reach peak temperatures before you'll be able to play

[spark harbor]

Share your settings please

[dawn python]

#╭📖faq message

[spark harbor]

what is the default? is it 1 for everything?

[storm nimbus]

I’m looking for a reshade thats not too intense but still enhances the look of the game and serves as a nice final touch. I like the one that comes with the dark signal modpack does anyone else have recommendations?

[sour oar]

CS Eden’s reshade fits your bill

[olive locust]

Yeah I second this @storm nimbus

[neat trail]

does the agressor reshade reduce fps?

[sour oar]

The aggressor reshade reduces your gaming experience overall

[olive locust]

If I was reverting from cfg_load grading_vanilla and wanted to go back to vanilla. So I need to use cfg_load grading_warm is that what you're saying?

[spark harbor]

How do I revert from this settings back to normal

[storm nimbus]

Gamma mod says it has screen space reflections how do I turn that on?'

[sour oar]

You have to wipe your entire user.ltx, that’s why I wouldn’t recommend randomly changing stuff :P

[sour oar]

GAMMA uses the warm grading by default. If you want to go to back to the default settings, you type ‘cfg_load grading_warm’ into your console

[storm nimbus]

Does it also have screen space shadows?

[sour oar]

Screen space shadows I believe are on by default

Screen space reflections is.. I mean feel free to turn it on but I’m not involved

To enable it you can press home and it’ll be one of the effects you can enable. It might be shortened to SSR

[storm nimbus]

It has the one for screenshots thats unplayable and thats the only one I see

The modpack says that it has the one made by Ascii but I don't see it anywhere or how to enable it

[sour oar]

I’ve never played around with SSR specifically, but can’t you just customize it to your liking?

[ember pagoda]

SSR is part of the screen space shaders mod, it is on by default

[storm nimbus]

I actually got it mistaken when I meant SSR I actually meant SSS

I definitely don't have it enabled or its some watered down version because when I'm looking at the screen space shaders mod by Ascii thats in the mod pack it looks nothing like it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxNixSseig4

[olive locust]

My grass looks nothing like half of you guys screenshots, mine looks terrible. running gamma with edens reshade

[storm nimbus]

I want this, Gamma says its installed but I don't know how to enable it and its not definitely not on for me

[mild dome]

SSS has been pretty heavily tweaked to avoid ground being overly shiny and things

[storm nimbus]

So how can I tweak it?

And how can I tweak it to look like the video posted?

It doesn't even look like it has SSS

I just want my game to look beautiful

[fathom charm]

@mint owl is it normal for my game to look like this after autumn redux and your reshade preset?

it seems to have looked more normal earlier but i'm not sure what's happened

could it be a specific weather condition

contrast just seems insane

[olive locust]

What's your grass settings out of curiosity? my game looks nice with the reshade but the grass looks terrible

[fathom charm]

these?

if there are any ideal settings i'd love to know

i'm trying to make all the shader stuff work currently

@mint owl could you maybe send some of your ideal settings?

[olive locust]

it's hard to tell because its dark currently but heres my grass

[mild dome]

This is what mine looks like in a cloudy weather, and I haven't tweaked GAMMA's shader settings

The foggy weather might be why yours is pretty flat

[storm nimbus]

Nah even when its sunny its like this for me

Maybe there was an update change? Because mine looks nothing similar to that

[fathom charm]

here's the reshade as well

[storm nimbus]

Even your sky box looks way better then mine, mine its just always blurry smudge

[mild dome]

I'm running Graupel and Inverno but I'm also on the latest main version of GAMMA

[storm nimbus]

This is really frustrating

Spent the past 3 hours trying to figure out why mine looks like this even though I haven't touched anything compared to others who've done the same and their game looks completely different from mine

[mild dome]

You're using DX11?

[olive locust]

this is my grass, is this normal with the reshade? :/

[fathom charm]

here's yantar

[olive locust]

better example, seems off to me

[storm nimbus]

Yeah

[storm nimbus]

Could you please show me a screenshot of your reshade settings?

[mild dome]

This is with reshade off

[storm nimbus]

I meant like when you hit the home button what settings

even when you have reshade off it looks better then my game

[mint owl]

Verify your Reshade settings paths for shaders, you should have 17 effects and no double, I see two clarity here

[fathom charm]

how do you do the verification?

[mint owl]

Also I'm using high grass density (6 levels from the maximum), 190 rendering distance and 0.8 grass height

[mint owl]

Please refer to my Reshade instructions, it's the IMPORTANT part

[mint owl]

You don't have "Aggressor Reshade" enabled right ?

On load order

[fathom charm]

No, but I do have locus's aggressor version as a reshade preset

could that somehow interfere with the reshade settings

[mint owl]

Well, it's using it's own shaders folder in bin right ?

[mint owl]

Golden Autumn you mean ? Depends, I'm using high grass density, and my reshade should have 17 active effects without any double

[fathom charm]

also do you mean this

[fathom charm]

yeah, Golden Autumn Redux

[mint owl]

Oh

[mint owl]

I really shouldn't have wrote that stupid file

Give me a moment

[fathom charm]

precisely this in mod organizer

these 3 are placed at the very bottom of the order btw, should I maybe move them up?

[mint owl]

#🖇old-mods-posting message

Here

[fathom charm]

alright thanks

[mint owl]

Nah they are good as long as they are bottom, I usually place them just above GAMMA disabled category

[fathom charm]

do you think I'd need to reinstall/reset everything prior to doing that

the shader verifications

[mint owl]

Shouldn't be needed

[fathom charm]

I'll give it a try now

[mint owl]

But you could delete the reshade shaders folder in bin and put mine instead

[fathom charm]

this entire folder?

should I also delete shader cache again after replacing that folder

[mint owl]

Yup, the one named reshade-shaders in your Anomaly/bin, then replace and delete shader cache

Then make sure the paths are correct

[fathom charm]

one other question

is it alright to have this on?

[mint owl]

If not, correct them and reload Reshade, quit game, delete shader cache again and restart the game

Yes

[fathom charm]

thank you

i'll give all this a try right now

[mint owl]

Are you using Golden Autumn ?

[fathom charm]

yeah

if there are any other in game settings that you think might help, please let me know

[mint owl]

If that's so make sure all to disable the addons listed

[fathom charm]

besides the grass

Oh another thing I forgot to mention

my reshade is out of date

could this play a part in it?

[mint owl]

Well, make sure your lighting is set to volumetric, your grading is vanilla, you can reduce gamma level to 1.1 while playing

How is it not up to date ? Aggressor ?

[fathom charm]

here are the paths btw

I'm not sure exactly what to modify

[mint owl]

You need the exact same as the instructions, maybe you can rename them ?

[fathom charm]

so I'd delete the extras right

[mint owl]

Yeah

[fathom charm]

is this correct?

there was one thing in the texture search paths that I removed as well

[mint owl]

Nah, that one should have stayed

[fathom charm]

I'll just add it

[fathom charm]

sorry for asking all this, but how do you reload Reshade?

[mint owl]

Should have a reload button in the bottom

[fallow fern]

General question, how do you reinstall only the gamma reshades?

[fathom charm]

Ok got it

[mint owl]

#╟🎑reshades message

[mint owl]

Instead, delete your bin folder and copy the one you'll find there

[fallow fern]

Awesome, thanks!

Done that, nice. Still had leftovers from previous reshades in there as it turns out

[mint owl]

Shouldn't be, all reshade files would go there

[fallow fern]

Exactly.

[mint owl]

Unless you installed some shady Reshade from the dark corner of internet

[queen pecan]

How do i install golden autumn redux? I dont quite understand

I downloaded both archives and idk what to do with them

[mint owl]

There is instructions on the moddb page

[mint owl]

#🖇old-mods-posting message

[fallow fern]

It sounds more exotic than it is.
DL the archives -> Install Via mod manager 2 at the end of your load order and activate them-> Disable the addons mentioned in the above channel -> Profit.

[queen pecan]

Ok i need drag and drop it or use install option?

[mint owl]

Use Install option

[arctic lake]

i dont know the default sorry but its between 1-3

[queen pecan]

I think it works

[mint owl]

Looks like it yes

Not much grass density it seems but yes

[queen pecan]

The one fps is real

[past lake]

Where do i find these instructions?

[mint owl]

#🖇old-mods-posting message

[past lake]

Thank you. Are there some specific settings you recommend?

[mint owl]

Aside of what's in there, usually having high grass density (not max) is looking better, also, when you'll be ingame, and I mean playing, go to basic settings and set gamma level to 1. or 1.1 according to your own preferences

[devout whale]

@mint owl i remember that you (or someone else) sent their screenshot with NVIDIA settings for GAMMA, like for anti-aliasing, was it you?

[mint owl]

I don't remember xD

[shy magnet]

how do i use reshade?

[vapid olive]

click buttons, move sliders

[mint owl]

#📢announcements message Best I know is this post

[sick creek]

Hello, someone has some tips (shaders, etc..) to increase graphics realisticity ?

[serene spear]

@mint owl With your 00.Anomaly Season REDUX BASE and the 01 file, do you keep Skies redux from the GAMMA Base "file"?

[serene spear]

There is a lot, CS Eden here is a reshade master

[serene spear]

#🖇old-mods-posting message check @mint owls guide

[mint owl]

I usually disable it

Unless playing with GAMMA's graphics

[sick creek]

Thanks !

[serene spear]

but there are many other reshades too, so browse a little

I use Edens, and it is great

[sick creek]

I just installed it, seems amazing !

[sleek isle]

Thanks for the sweet Reshade Eden hits the spot just right

[stiff kestrel]

Im here for a dope reshade. Ive been told you are the man @mint owl

is it okay if the "toned down" mod its in gamma fixes folder? its still above the gamma disabled folder in MO2

[sour oar]

Keep it at the very bottom of the list in case

[spark harbor]

Its a new install anyway. No problem dude

[stiff kestrel]

looks dope

[mint owl]

Haha yeah you're good

Quick question, do you have 17 effects enabled ?

[stiff kestrel]

Ye

Everything seems to work as intended
Amazing job

[mint owl]

No problem, what are you using on the screen above ?

[spice saffron]

Hi Eden! Where can I get the shader you made? I'm watching Skom playing with it, and it looks great.

[mint owl]

#🖇old-mods-posting message

Hi there, here you go, keep in mind that Skom is using my latest preset not yet released, he's kind of testing for me

Feel free to ask if you have trouble installing

At the end, if done correctly, you'll have 17 active effects in Reshade and no double

[spice saffron]

Thank a lot! I'm reinstalling the game now and when i managed to do that, i'll install your shade. Thanks for the support!

[mint owl]

Make sure your game is working properly before any Reshade install though

[spice saffron]

Ok, That's the plan. 👍

[mint owl]

Just one correction from a thing I said earlier, there is Default, Vanilla, Cold and Warm, Default does not equal Vanilla, I'm stoopid

[olive locust]

@mint owl any advice on how to make the grass look better? I am using your grass density and other settings

[kind zephyr]

for the reshades do i just move in the config file into the game folder?

[mint owl]

Looks great to me already, but what are you using, Golden Autumn ?

[olive locust]

Yes.. you know what? when I look at my screenshots it looks slightly better than what I'm actually seeing. I'm starting to think it's my monitor display settings

[mint owl]

Possible as well, I have a really good screen, and colors are great for me, so do they on your screenshot

[honest spindle]

anyone know how to rebind the ingame shader button?

[olive locust]

If I was to revert from your reshade, would this preset be the GAMMA default? I know I also gotta re-enable the mods in your readme and do the command back to "warm" but what was the default GAMMA reshade, this one?

[dawn python]

!default you can follow the Keybinds procedure here to reset reshade settings

[void depot]

Modlist
To bring your mod list back to default, inverting any changes made by you:

1. Open the installer with admin rights
2. Click on Only install G.A.M.M.A. addons

Keybinds
To bring your keybinds to default, DON'T press the default button in the menu, you'll mess up everything.
Instead, do this:

1. Go in GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\appdata
2. Copy the user.ltx file you'll find in there (note that every change made by you in your user.ltxwill be reverted to default)
3. Paste this file in Anomaly\appdata

[mint owl]

Yup, that's the default one

[olive locust]

I also backed up my appdata and bin folders to before hand so I'll just delete and replace the current ones

[drifting shore]

Love it.

[spark plume]

Hey, wondering if anyone can help me out. Currently trying out a new reshade my buddy got me going on, currently on the summer preset (autumn no leaves and gardener turned off) and whenever I zoom in with a scope as I'm zoomed in the picture inside the scope gradually gets brighter as I'm looking and then it levels out but then when I go out of scope it returns to normal, just curious if anybody knows of a Reshade effect that would cause this to happen.

[sour oar]

Most likely eye adaptation?

[spark plume]

I dont have anything like that turned on

[sour oar]

Oh

In that case maybe FGFX

[spark plume]

Turned Gardener and Autumn no leaves back on too see if that was causing issues but sadly same thing, the FGFX didnt solve anything either

[mild dome]

NeoBloom or MagicHDR?

[sour oar]

It looks like an eye adaptation related effect, but if it’s not that, it’s probably just an effect with eye adaptation included, which is most likely due to bloom yeah

I would’ve said colour temperature but it’s prod80 so my opinion is invalid

Wait

Adaptive tonemapper? Idk man anything with the word Adaptive in it makes me suspicious

[mint owl]

It's broken here, I don't know what you installed but if you have effects in double, I suggest checking shader paths in Reshade menu/settings, that can easily destroy a Reshade

[mint owl]

Most probably Magic HDR

Adaptive Tonemapper should be loaded last to be honest

[mint owl]

I'm literally using that xD

Two color temperatures are bad as well, that's why, if the Reshade has a shader folder, you delete or backup yours somewhere safe then copy the new one alongside the Reshade

[analog ocean]

@mint owl sry to ping you, wanna ask if your reshade is anywhere to download already? cause you said you needed to fix something first?
