Ok thx looking forward to this 
So do I, it's been so long x)
Do you have my Reshade actually ?
Installed I mean
Or anyone else ?
Because I'm gonna need a sample before posting the final version
Testing my Autumn preset as well as a performances version, all that is required is to have my Reshade installed and fully functional (17 effects and stuff), I will need people who would be able to test it today as soon as possible, and able to make a feedback between the performance preset, the new Autumn preset, and the Adaptative Reshade that is already posted and most people use, please DM me if you want to try out
(Reason why is because I'm very time limited, if I can't post it tomorrow at worst, I won't be able to before January)
I've got time, where can I find your reshade?
omg the internal keyboard layout in the console where is the underscore on qwerty layout
Alright well I just copypasted a _ in the console, good enough.
With my settings, I'm getting an average of 116 fps without reshade, and 74 fps with your reshade, non winter version
Shadowmap res 2048, Fov 80, rtx 2060 if any of that info helps
Do you have it installed, with Toned Down Eye Adaptation and all 17 effects ?
Mhm, Toned down eye adaption checked and at the very bottom in MO2, all effects enabled
No double effects, correct shader paths in settings as mentioned in the post ?
one sec
Yep! All paths are correct. There was one double shader which was quint bloom but after disabling it there was no difference in appearance or fps whatsoever.
Yeah, if you have paths in excess it's usually better to remove them
But as long as you have all 17 effects and no double anymore, then you're good to go
I'm gonna DM you two other presets, supposedly an upgrade
alrighty!
btw, I'm working on my own reshade preset too, mind if I post a short video of it?
Sure thing as well
Nope not yet
*I will turn down the bloom and try to look for a fix for the MotionBlur stopping after turning for longer than half a second
also sorry for the bad quality, 720p shadowplay moment
Ground seems to be really reflective. Any clues as to why?
Yo what. I want all the mods and setting that you have, asap

What's your setup ?
Adaptative vs Final
Although, I have to say, the difference appears more outside of "facing the sun" shots
Quick question Eden is it okay to have Skies Redux on with your ReShade?
Should be but I always disable it just in case unless playing with GAMMA Weathers
gotcha yah thank you
I gotta say I like the final better than the adaptive personally!
Haha that's exactly the objective 🙂
Just testing with GAMMA Weathers right now and it should be ready
It's... different
xD
Well, the weathers are fundamentally different between GAMMA Weathers and Autumn Weathers, so it will be good at 1 gamma level, while Autumn Weathers 1.1 gamma will do
cant wait to try for myself!
Good news is, no need for Toned Down Eye Adaptation and no appdata folder modification, only a bin folder
Nice, hope it won't affect performance too bad, I get around 60-70 fps with gamma vanilla 2K resolution
Well, it has proven to hit harder with GAMMA's setup than Golden Autumn/Autumn Season setup
I use 1080p but regardless, it hits more than GAMMA Reshade
I tried to create a performance preset but it weirdly lags more anyway
what hardware are you guys using and at what res generally?
1440p is really struggling for me, 3060 and r5 3600
with as many optimisations as i could make
If you're standing at a spot with 80 fps with GAMMA Reshade, expect 70 fps with mine, but at some spots, it's the exact same fps
Running in DX11 ?
Not AVX ?
DX11 seemed worse but ill give it another try
I'm using a MSI RTX 2060super, Ryzen 7 2700X, 16GB Ram, and I'm running Gamma Vanilla with 2K res and DX11 AVX
Hmm you're Hardware should be able to run it in 2K res try using DX11 AVX
By gamma vanilla what do you mean exactly? None of the shaders and whatnot turned off?
What sort of fps you getting? I'm struggling to hold 60 a lot of the time with all the shaders turned off as per the fps optimisation channel, rehshade turned off, grass density and draw distance turned down etc
I'm on avx as well
try turning avx off, it helped a ton for me @4k 3090 ryzen 5800x
lets try it again, fuck it 🙂
Well I have screen space off in the advanced graphics settings I'm using Volumetric for sunrays and SSDO instead of HBAO, and I can't hold 60 fps in every area either but overall I get between 60-70 fps in most areas ( Gamma reshade)
Hmm I should try it too maybe I get more fps, but Isn't it like with AVX the engine can unload shit to the cpu so the gpu does not have to handle it?
that is a lot better in dx11..
Look at all that Grass 
I think that is how it works, however in my testing with my setup just regular dx11 provides the most fps for me. Everyone will be different!
whats the console command for the colour palettes again?
My gpu only uses like 70-80% of its usage on gamma tho so
I found out that the Golden autumn redux is causing it. I don't know how to fix it tho.
Doesn't happen on my end
Looks like installation issues
Adaptative vs Final
Yep, final still wins
give this a go!
seen people use this on pascal gilchers discord, good tool 🙂
Oh I know this tool as well, I'll use it when making screenshots later on 🙂
would definitely be able to get a feel for the subtle differences with it!
I think I like final more for this style of grade. More contrasty
and the warmer overall hue
I usually put both screens on Chrome next to each other and click on them left and right to compare x)
Yeah I realised I could tab back and forth if i opened the originals
as you can tell i go for the colder palate :' )
To be fair, that hue is only present during certain weathers/time of the day, some others do not have it
And honestly, I wouldn't use it for a gritty preset
Well, it does work great under certain weathers but sunny ones aren't exactly screaming "bleak"
I was making my own preset but then I gave up on it cos I wanted more performance

xD
I havent played something with drops to 45fps in a while
usually i aim for 90+fps but gamma just seems heavy overall, but its so much better than vanilla
so... worth the trade off
I drop to 45 in Dead City only to be honest
havent been up there yet
i managed to squeeze some more frames out with DX11 no avx i think!
Well, I use fairly high settings as well
yeah i pushed my grass density and draw distances up a good bit when i saw dx11 running at like 85
You can get a few more fps by having a bit less grass density and rendering distance, mine is at 190 I think
definitely a game that begs for some higher settings usage
i think im gonna dream about the zone tbh
@mint owl Will you be uploading here or in #🖇old-mods-posting ?
I'll be uploading on #🖇old-mods-posting
Still writing it but I'll put a surprise in there
For Autumn players that is
I am really writting EVERYTHING a dumb brain could come with so please bear with me xD
tried CS edens preset and its permanently staying. in the process of installing season redux late autumn going to see how that looks side note is there a way to fix the ADOF setting seems like no matter which DOF setting it seems borked personally use ADOF over the others in most cases but yeah if any of this makes sense lol.
Well, thanks for trusting my Reshade ^^ Unfortunately I am not a DOF user, but I suggest checking the placement of the effect in Reshade active effects, try to place it here and there and see if there is a change
Alright, I just like a subtle adaptive dof and no problem! it's a good preset
what is the general better reshade preformance-quality one?
rate my reshade
The one by @astral kestrel, absolute fire and unmatched performances
Seems like you got access to the Beta DX7 launcher
can you show me where i find it and how to instal it?

More seriously, light Reshade are the ones with the less effects, in that sense, G.A.M.M.A.'s default Reshade is best in performances. Now, I know you're looking for something with "improved graphics" without too much of a performances cost, I haven't tried much, so here is the list of Reshades https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons?filter=t&kw=reshade&category=&licence=&timeframe= best course is to get one you would like and see if it's okay performance wise
Browse S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat addons to download customizations including maps, skins, sounds, sprays and models.
there is no way you are playing like that
At least you see the enemies coming, win win I guess
no, it looks like garbage
Trees still look too good
Dummy proof readme is going well, currently uploading files, and writting Vanilla GAMMA section
very nice
I swear I insisted a dozen times on the IMPORTANCE of READING, everywhere in that readme x)
Threatening them not to answer questions that are already answered by reading it
I mean reshade installation is piss easy, so if you did your part, then you can ignore install help requests if you'd like. There should be no obligation on your part for help.
Yeah, but I hate the idea of losing customers xD
It's easy but yeah, some people just don't read
Ah good, I'm gonna need you help
To use aggressor do I just enable it in MO2?
Oh gotcha, thank you. I am brand new to reshade so still figuring things out
Follow the instructions to install that bloom fest on its corresponding page
Caught me off-guard, I thought you were finally going to go easy on Aggressor for once 
Neverrr xD
Yeah about that
Can you shut down your brain for a moment and give me any dumbass reshade installation questions you can think off ?
Hell yea
I am writing a troubleshooting section
Brain shut down, idiot mode engaged
Is there a better reshade preset you can recommend? @mint owl
Do I get to see what you've got already or just random questions?
oh okay thank you
Right now I have none
When dropping the files, should I overwrite?
Ah yes, a classic
HAh
I can't find my anomaly folder where is it?
How do I clear shaders cache?
Brilliant
How do I install Golden Autumn? It didn't come with the reshade?
How come all my trees are dead?
That's a good one
How do you get rid of aliasing/shimmer?
Keep going guys, you're doing great
What settings do you recommend?
Added my favorite already, how do I install a mod in MO2
Can I use this without GAMMA?
Damn x)
My game looks too dark, how to fix?
My screen is black when I load in
Legit noting that one
Can I play this maxed out on an intel integrated UHD graphics?
What mods do I have to disable?
Love how 90% of these questions are solved via reading x)
How do I make my game look like Stalker 2?
How do I make it look more like Aggressor?
Oh I will be harsh on that one
Magnificent
Does this use the unreal engine?
I installed the mod 100% correctly but it's not working, help?
actually legit question that someone might ask
Ah yes, the I did it correctly and it's not working
"How do I tweak the reshade?"
to which you should say tweaking the reshade voids support
Make your own x)
I turned on 15 additional effects but my menu is broken now, this is your fault, help me
Absolutely realistic as a question
Preparing myself for having to write my readme 
I followed all the steps but my game doesn't look like your screenshots?
que an answer about monitor differences and calibrated screens, etc
Because you play on a potato
I'm not sure discord messages have enough space for all of this 
lol
ok
Because the text is like 10times Discord limit
Very smart
And I don't have Nitro
Well, I guess that's about it for questions
Now, to answer all of these x)
Will have to sort them out from dumbest to legit ones
Oh boy..
lol
Ah... crap wait I have to do all of that too 
So far, I have Autumn Harmony, Melting Winters, Golden Autumn Redux/Autumn Season Redux and base GAMMA
I need to add a question about Project Inverno, Yawm and Graupel
Oh god
Because my Reshade doesn't support them
Graupel maybe but not sure
Why can i see the ground ?
I am an aggressor player
Is this compatible with Aggressor?
Is this compatible with Expedition
Is this compatible with x
I swear x)
you underline and bold it
I can't do any underline or bolding on readme
X = EVERYTHING
As far as I know
Which scares me
theres actually no way anyone asks this shit
you'd be surprised
Can't you go to one of those websites that make your words italicized (for example), then copy and paste into the readme?


Not sure, but I mean, people didn't read bold on my Adaptative Reshade x)
The issue might just stem from not reading at all
Once you upload the reshade I'm gonna try rtgi alongside it to see how that goes
interesting
I choose not to in the end, so did Lauta
how to disable reshade ? It activate every time i relaunch the game ? i don't want to press home every time
Good, I'll add this one
fps go from 80 to 120 when disabled
To get bold and stuff you'd need to use rich text or a PDF 
so you're saying I should wait abit for the new CS eden preset stuff? :O
Posted on #🖇old-mods-posting
Download the readme, and then follow what's in there for link and especially for instructions
Oh and to anyone, READ that CAREFULLY, there's even a FAQ at the end for extra dummy-proof

Ahh thanks
Eden actually included "How to gain IQ" as an faq question 


this wasn't in your FAQ chance of snow in "autumn harmony" correct. I mean it sounds obvious I guess ssince like you've used the autumn season redux version. heh ... .. ..
Welp, I quoted the author here x)
lol
Yeah, obvious but maybe not enough x)
But as far I as know, they tend not to ask anything about the snow, and if they want snow, then download fucking Melting Winters xD
Anyway, not something someone actually reading would miss ^^
xD
Ahha :P
gorgeous work! I have your reshade working just on regular GAMMA dead zone textures and it's already pretty spectacular
Im stoked to try this since when I used the not finale version it was already so damn good
To be fair, GAMMA's base graphic is my Reshade weakest point x)
But thank you very much ^^
HNNNNNNNNNNGG this is fucking amazing
Bold of you to call this Dummy-proof.
Can't wait to try it out
Actually... that's intended, because people have ego, so they will try not to ask a dumb question x)
And if they do, then dummy proof is a fitting name they should keep in mind
Already 2 steps ahead 
I failed it, I didn't anticipate the people installing Golden Autumn's main menu box
During installation, they can tick that option...
Thank you & congrats for your new reshade Eden. Im about to try it out. No mention of Dynamic tonemap in the readme. I guess is fine to keep it enabled this time?
Thank you ^^ Yup, no need to disable anything that is not mentioned in the readme
No need for Toned Down Eye Adaptation anymore, no need for appdata grading as I figured out it was already in GAMMA by default
So it's only just a bin folder, careful instructions, and you're good to go
Epic so far man. I grabbed your user.ltx as well. Thank you very much. Very well done 👍 nice performance
Careful with my user ltx, I have many sliders on the right side x)
And toggle for most things like crouching
Performances is where it's hitting the hardest
Not at all. My user ltx was poorly optimized to be honest. Yours runs better. No problem and looks great
Fun fact, I actually wanted to name it "Garden of Eden"
The Reshade I mean
But I didn't for referencing purpose
Idk if this counts as a reshade thing, but why would screen space shaders with themrdemonized exes cause this issue with my game? Also I cleared the shader cache and followed all instructions
I could be completely be brainfarting here but Is there a way I can make it so I don't see the tree outlines at night time it is really killing my immersion lol
is the floor supposed to be so bright @mint owl?
Is it Final Reshade ?
Oh did you? I will update mine now, where's the details?
Thanks
It's a long text file but everything you need to know is in there so take the time
Reading through it all now, thanks man 🙂 so I seen new presets? do you have a screenshot archive of these also? May be interested switching to Autumn Harmony. Sounds pretty nice
Unfortunately I didn't get enough time to make screenshots, I'm very busy today and from tomorrow onwards I won't be on the computer for a good while now
Hey man it's all good. I'll stick with the Golden Autumn Redux preset until you have the spare time to show off some new screenshots. Gonna update my GAMMA then your reshade and enjoy the game 🙂 Thanks for all the effort put into your work man it's really appreciated
You should find some scarce ones in #╟🎑reshades or #╟📸screenshots though
What's your personal favourite?
Like preset, that is
Spare time huh ? I'll try to do so x)
Reshade preset or texture pack ?
Both really, so from your latest release, which avenue would you go down for preference?
III. Melting Winters users
IV. Golden Autumn Redux\Autumn Season Redux users
V. G.A.M.M.A.'s Vanilla Dead Zone and Weathers users```
Out of those
Well, technically I have only one Reshade, the other is a Winter variant that's only usable for Melting Winters
Now, of all these, I'd say Autumn Harmony, but sometimes I feel in a more colored mood and just go Golden Autumn
The problem is, if I can't take screenshots here, next time I'll be able to is in January
I've updated GAMMA before updating your reshades, I noticed these two new mods within the categories I made for your reshades. I'm assuming they're new plugins from where I pulled a GAMMA update, are they meant to be disabled?
Any idea why they were put in those categories I made instead of their default ones? don't wanna fuck up a modlist or anything
Okay
They are there because Grok intended to have them in GAMMA but they are not stable enough or causing undesired effects, so until they are fix, they will stay disabled, maybe Grok will clean them when upgrading to 1.0
Gotya
(Should you want to use it, I've provided my own user.ltx in the optional folder, it goes into your Anomaly\appdata folder. I do not recommend it as it's for beefy computers but you can use it to compare with yours)
^^ I like this addition as well @mint owl 👍 Lets people easily compare with your direct settings for best results etc
Haha yeah figured oug it would help
Just finished updating, I'm trying the late autumn presets this time. See how it goes. I noticed the older reshade preset was still there but there's also the new final reshades preset
The "adaptive" presets were still there is what I mean. But I'm using the "final" preset
23, no dupes. Looking good
Yeah, I left it there in case people were to prefer the old one
Sounds good to me as well 
Yeah man it's a solid update and explained so much more clearer
Well done
I took time to make a full readme, instead of being blocked with Discord characters limit
And I needed something clear enough to be away from my computer for three months
I think you've achieved that
Meaning that last month didn't go to waste 
If I wanted to switch to the golden autumm, just disable 02 and enable 01 right? 🙂
For future preference
Trying to get my MO2 so that I can switch between presets
Yup, and delete shader cache in between
The plugins needed to be disabled have now gone into GAMMA Disabled btw, don't panic they are disabled 🙂
Okay thanks
Other than that it's pretty much two clicks away yes, I do just that
Ah, as long as it's not the GAMMA Dead Zone ones, in case you want to revert later on
there's the disabled plugins 🙂 they went into this category automatically because they were placed above as instructed.
Oh
Nah I'll only be switching between golden autum and Autumn Seasons 🙂
Sure, but yeah I would simply not advise this for most people xD
I'll probably try out the Autumn Harmony at some point but obviously that'll need a complete read through to install properly 🙂
All good. Default GAMMA is 1.2 is it? I've gone with 1 GAMMA and with the autumn seasons it looks good so far. Nothing as bright as the golden autumn but that's to be expected for the "time of year" each preset is trying to achieve. I think you've done a really good job mate
The only thing I'm tempted to do is re-enable the skies redux as my sky box usually looks pretty bland
Thanks, gamma level is really up to preference, 1.1 feels like a sweetspot for me
Not sure if that will change much stuff, pretty sure it just happens to be a cloudy weather
Well rain in that case
anyone know if there's a way to turn this into a toggle button?
I got you 🙂 I'll test 1 first, if needed I'll raise. Was 1.2 the default? I can't remember lol
Yup, it's 1.2 by default, I use 1 only with GAMMA Weathers as they are brighter
And 0.9-1 for winters
Which we disable when using your reshade anyway, right?
The GAMMA Weathers, that is
Yes, unless you do Section V instead, which is using my Reshade with vanilla GAMMA
Never used or seen anything regarding the "G.A.M.M.A.'S VANILLA DEAD ZONE AND WEATHERS" so yeah, that doesn't bother me lol
Ah, it simply means, GAMMA as it is, it's using a dead zone setup by default, no foliage, late autumn early winter, dead trees etc
@mint owl sorry to bother but does this look off to you? 1300hr i believe with clear 2 weather Im hopping its normal lol
Read the FAQ, there is one about blue tint bug
An annoying disease around the Zone that can only be purged temporarily
But to make things easier for you
!bluetint
If you have that annoying blue tint, open your GAMMA folder and go here: .Grok's Modpack Installer/GAMMA/modpack_addons/. Then, delete this mod: mod: 188- Enhanced Shaders - KennShade
Now, open your MO2 and reinstall 188- Enhanced Shaders - KennShade and tick:
01 Enhanced Shaders - PBR
02 Enhanced Color Grading
Optional - shader_param controls - simple
Then delete shader cache and restart
I did the bluetint and also did the whole r2_gloss_factor 10
r2_gloss_min 1.0 thing aswell as somebody pointed out in the screenshots channel.. and it still looks like that thus why I posted those two screens and tagged/asked you.
and deleted shader cache
Weird, it's supposed to fix it, because that tint is definitely not natural, it's due to a bug which Grok will possibly fix eventually
Sometimes you need to do it a few times
I believe so anyway
Alright, imma try and do a "re-install" ie full gamma installation got a feeling it goofed up some how when updating
Well, if you see that blue tint again, just know it's not intended AT ALL x)
And not showing up in normal circumstances
alright, thanks will try and figure this out if it persists.
@mint owl sorry for pinging but... do you know if there's a way to fix that far loading thingy? I also didn't turn on "turn off far shadows" option
Unfortunately, we were discussing that with others a day or two ago, Stalker Anomaly, and GAMMA by extension, absolutely sucks at rendering distance, especially corners
awh, sad
Yeah, not much you can do, that's why most Reshade overdo bloom, to conceal this stuff maybe ? x)
I cant decide between keeping the "summer colors" of base gamma with your reshade or going with the golden autumn 😦
aye aye captain
Hmm might just be that specific weather then
ie clear 2
wait NVM it looks fixed
Looks definitely less bluish
yeah I just noticed when I looked at the other screen anywho neat also this is still lookin hella good thanks for doin all this.
I'm gonna take a risk here and ask a question, probably a fucking dumb question, but I couldn't find anything about in in the FAQ. What would putting your user.ltx in my folder do? I guess my question is what exactly does the user.ltx file do and why should I consider replacing mine with yours?
Hmmmmm ok I'll keep fuckin around then
"(Should you want to use it, I've provided my own user.ltx in the optional folder, it goes into your Anomaly\appdata folder. I do not recommend it as it's for beefy computers but you can use it to compare with yours)"
Basically, it's here for you if you stutter with yours or if you need comparison
I put it here so people be like : oh that's what he's using so I can use that if mine doesn't work
It's nothing more than your average user.ltx, but it can help people track down what they did wrong on a setting if it doesn't look like my screenshots
Hmm sorry for the spamming. clear 2 still lookin blue Uhhhg annoying lmao
That looks like the gloss shaders from rainy weather are still on
did you hit play button in the weather debug and wait for it to dry
hmm. I uh havent had it rain for the last 2 in game days so.. Indeed unless for some reason it's buggin out the rain shader stuff
yeah skies, roadsides, 241 simple autumn, 242 gardener, gamma weathers, grulags dead bushes are all off
alas how would you fix the rain shaders im still new to all this if that's the issue.
1PM Clear 2 on my side
I haven't touched rain shaders to be honest
Are all 23 effects active and no duplicate in Reshade menu ?
hello reshade man


I literally said it was a joke below said statement x)
xD
to be fair the guy posted some cool af screenshots
Gotta ask Grok for a Reshade role lauta x)
so i thought u were referring to those
Oh he does have a specific setup, hard to reproduce, but as far as Reshade goes I have no clue x)
no worries, right now im porting GAMMA to sven coop
I'm glad you choose Clear Sky
i actually just came back from trying Edens new final reshade
i like it but my pc a bit poopy
so tryna find something more performance balanced
Ah yes, performances hit
the trick for it to look good is high resolution xD
hahaha
i used DSR to force it to 2k? or smt around that, obviously it hurts my fps very high, but if you have a monitor/gpu capable of 2k, you can make really good screenshots
ahhh i see
2:05PM my bad
kk
i think at this point i just want something with gamma performance and then colour corrected to be less grey/foggy/washed out
dont need any fancy effects etc
or smaa
iirc, i was using autumn season redux, and for the reshade, some bloom, sharpness and CMAA? or smt like that
Classic moment, making a real good screenshot, while behind the camera lies a complete mess
Calm down, you almost did Aggressor xD
yeah i can upload the water textures i have
iirc all of them are from different versions of dead zone
I have downloaded Dead Zone before it went boom on moddb again
So I should find it in my own files I guess
yeah, one of the things i dislike about it
@verbal trout This is how it looks for me after lingering gloss from rain (hitting play from weather editor fixed it)
is how they pack it into .db files
alright will also test that
say.. @mint owl did it come with a grading_cold/vanilla? like your previous one? cause I may be using that
Seeing these pictures makes me feel reassured, I didn't let some stoopid blue slip in
All grading, cold, vanilla, warm, are already in GAMMA, so I didn't put an appdata folder this time around
But you could try cfg_load grading_vanilla
or cfg_load grading_cold then vanilla again
ok just trying to make sure im checking every little thing that could potentially cause
hehehehe went from 100fps to 50 fps with your reshade on 
and its back to being even more blue LMAO same time same weather also did what jaku said to do as well. Sigh this is an annoyance
but then you got cloudy 1 weather same time 2:05pm
If I remember correctly, Grok said that the blue tint is caused by cubemaps, wrong ones or something, but here I have no clue, it seems to only happen in Clear 2
it's weird cause almost others seem fine (that field with the tower in all blue is clear 2 )
Anywho thanks for trying to trouble shoot the reshade and all that much appreciate it.
So it's only Clear 2 for some reason
seems like it.
What gpu are you rocking?
3090 @4k
when in doubt... do a complete full fresh re-install i guess see if that'll work lol
Curious what I'm going to get with a 3080 in ultrawide
I did say in the readme that resolution change hits the hardest, my job here is done xD
Yeah dx 11, not avx
Oh yeah im not complaining lol.
But 4K is basically assisted GPU suicide
I shall tinker with it
In Stalker that is
I shall post results later, im getting food right now
I'm sorry, I don't quite understand the Eden installation.
I get confused with the " Gamma weather Users"
And the "Autumn Weather Users"
Is the Gamma weather mod on by default, where do I get the Autumn Weather mod ?
Atm I installed the Eden Reshade Bin and Appdata folder into the ANomaly Folder. I drag and dropped the TDEA mod above my Disabled Gamma mods on MO2
What .. now exactly ?
gamma weather is on by default. eden's readme has all the download links
No, not quite actually. It's the same text as the one Eden posted alongs the Installation guide.
The links are just Screenshots
Are you looking at the same readme we are
You should be using these install instructions? #🖇old-mods-posting message
I see, I didn't see he posted one today. Will read into it. Thank you
That’d do it, lol
I'll buy a 4090 to run your reshade at 60fps at 4k before I turn my resolution down to 1440p 
That sounds pricey for 60 fps though x)
True itl probably be 70
hey guys how do i use the aggresor shader i checked in the MO2
how to enable aggressor?

Looks great!
What are you using ?
@late hornet Its in mod list in MO2, then home and select config, but people are meming that aggresor is aggresive blur 
Not memeing, just spitting straight facts
i checked in MO2 where is config u mean?
Is the only thing I've enabled, and satutaion set on 1.4
Oh
Click on gamma reshade name on top
Give screenshot for comparison 
I'm not sure to follow, comparison with what exactly ? x)
yeah no i only see GAMMA reshade thats it aggressor ain't showing up

I was trying to help boyz 😐
I swear that's asked 2492139712846 a day
How I open the reshade?
Better yet how to open game?
Just type Aggressor in search bar, you will see how MANY people asked the SAME thing x)
Just today
its not working thats why.. ;-;
You will also see an equal amount of us shitting on Aggressor 
Because it's ground textures that's why xD

@cloud island We need to stop this madness around Aggressor grounds named Reshade, please I beg you
How this workds?
Im so dumb
Eden wen someone ask how to instal eden reshade 

no like actually is it on already or whats going on

I get just about the same amount of people asking for Aggressor, so much I added it in my FAQ
The mod is only the ground textures. You have to manually install the ReShade… but please don’t 
Yeah, it's on Moddb, follow instructions there
ohhh wait how come tho is it like bad or ?
Not great, not as good as it’s made out to be, and in comparison to other reshades not that great
But you know what ? Try it for yourself after all x)
So.. you can find better, but might as well test it. Just lower your expectations
The only way to see is to experiment I guess
I need a few more FPS for your Reshade Eden. Is it a idea to try this? 1. Disable the Screen Space Shaders - Ascii1457 addon, Enhanced Shaders addon R3zy Detectors Shaders Fix addon, Dynamic Tonemap addon and Cumulative Shaders Pack addon.
I am runng 1440p. I squeezed all setting to get 30FPS. If not I go 1080p
I wouldn't touch any shader but rather just go 1080p and play with grass density
You are right 
did a complete fresh install of anomaly+gamma + your reshade and autumn harmony @mint owl let's hope that worked lol

anyone have some tips how to squeze out some more fps? this reshade looks stunning but i'm pulling 20 fps or so rn
also when running this, my gpu or cpu isn't at full usage?
what cpu?
3700x
should be getting more than 20fps, I get 20FPS in dead city with a 1600 and 2060
but 40+ everywhere else
with Eden's new reshade?
xray is a singlethreaded engine. if you are runnign AVX mode it will further offload calculations from GPU to CPU
run DX11, not DX11-AVX
aight going to try that right now
i'm getting 55-75fps on eden's reshade with a 3070 on DX11, 1440p

haven't tried particularly hard to get better fps either
i don't need to change any files or so when running a different launcher?
no
drops to 14 as well
yeah something's not right i think
i am running an ultrawide btw
might be enough trouble for the gpu
ultrawide 1080p?
dang
yeah
well damn, even at a shitty low res> it still gives me 14 fps
Yeah something's wrong, move to #🔨base-gamma-support I guess
grass takes a lot of resources
the strange thing is
check if you have a high rendering distance for the grass or a huge density
ingame my gpu usage drops to 30% but in menu it's at 100%
grass density did help alot yeah
ty❤️
you're welcome, grass density has a huge impact on performance
is there any reshade on in gamma by default?
Anyone got a good recommended one?
very new to using reshade is there a install guide or it pretty straight forward?
The readme is your install guide
Has everything you need, even an FAQ section
I promise most if not all of your questions are answered, there
perfect i'll try it out, and see if im getting what other people are saying, a whole 20fps 
Ha well that one is an abnormality
actually real question is, should i stick with the gamma look or try out one of this autum reduxs and such
GAMMA look is nice but again not very fancy
oh
Ah you mean Eden's reshade
Well all of them are great honestly, the golden autumn one's and such will give you more colour but the reshade is awesome as is
Ah idk if i want more color, but yeah i meant like the dead look gamma has
although the winter look might be cool, it's possible to change to that in the middle of a save?
It's all just weathers and reshades anyway, shouldn't affect your savefile

i have been taking many, many glamour shots with Eden's preset lol
inc. the default textures
over in #╟📸screenshots
just to confirm, he says to backup my bin folder, but really all i need to backup is my ltx and the shaders folder, right?
back up the bin folder
when the maker of the reshade tells you to do a thing, they have some damn good reasons for it
just back up the whole thing. it's not that big
It is when my nvme has 200mb of space left
suppose i can back it up to my other drive
the pain of 500gb nvme
also what exactly is the ltx file? It's optional but should i use it?
it's the user settings
keybinds, video settings, reshade settings

that's ok i'll change the keybinds again

Got it all on, i went from 80fps to 100??
maybe their ltx got the right options that i didnt have lol
Eden's literally got everything down to a science so it doesn't surprise me
new drew upload.....

thanks it took a lot of work to get working lmfao
and now that this update happened i have to redo all of it
new screen shots incoming
Technically yes, but I have come to learn that the simpler an instruction is, the less people can screw up
Got it, so basically it's just the reshade folder. I'm very tech savvy so
So far i'm liking it tho, better frames with your ltx for some odd reason too even though you note is as for beefy pc's
Yeah, technically just that, but it's good to teach people that they should do a backup of important stuff before modification xD
I have absolutely no clue why 
Gonna try your .ltx later today as well! Getting around 40-50 fps on the ultrawide after playing with the grass values a bit, have to say It looks absolutely beautiful tho
Glad you like it 
What's this about an itx?
Hey @prisma path I'd gladly take the pinning offer you made the other day for my updated reshade in #🖇old-mods-posting
I can give you the link should you need to
If it was the most recent. It's done
how can i make this compatible with gamma reshade or change it for this one?
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/enhanced-shaders-and-color-grading-for-151
the "for anomaly 1.5.1" already looks weird
gamma is on anomaly 1.5.2
yeah , asking because alot of mods work on 1.5.2, since is a shader and saw alot of pics of users who tweaked with this and other mods, wondering of how those people manage to merge it with gamma
can anyone help me with 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.
try this?
still the same
i have tried reinstal the anomaly
but still the same
i do full installation once
hm...yeah whatever i'll just reinstal everything
It is already in gamma
last time I checked
I'm thinking winter is really hard to get a good look for, this looks... not great.
off 
I just use the gamma reshade since the other presets I have look terrible with inverno
I'll probably switch to Golden Autumn or something since I want a nice bloom look but you can't really do that with winter
I tried autumn season redux
With волк preset
Doesn't look as good as in screenshots
Maybe it's because I didn't tweak the settings
I'll try Eden's preset with inverno and golden later
anyone dared to try out pascal gilcher's RTGI with gamma?
yep, buggy
some artifacts on thinner objects
migrated to eden's reshade
using vanilla gamma
noticed like, hanging mosses n stuff have this weird.. transparency box around the finer details
can imagine that'd potentially look fucky
does copying someone his .ltx file also alters any mod settings i might have changed? or is it only keybinds and visual settings?
Any reshade optimized for HDR? This game is begging for proper HDR support
MCM is different from user ltx
also wrong channel
but heres the command of you want to learn
!backup
"Why does every update completely reset my keybinds/my settings/my mods/my stuff in general?"
G.A.M.M.A. has a default mod list to make sure everyone has the same things, everything goes back to default when you update or you do a complete installation, it's normal.
You can backup your keybinds and mod settings following this guide: #╭📖faq message
You did great already imo
@mint owl how do make aggressor and expedition work? muh game crash
You should try my winter preset with Melting Winters
Since it was made for it
Just as in the FAQ : Kindly go away please ^^


Little Falcos grows

Based answers that only yours truly dare to give
Definitely so, I'm tired of Aggressor people and the one not reading, in fact, my entire readme could sound like that xD
Just want to say your Reshade with the Texture pack is beautiful!
Just going to download Melting Winters to give that a try
Thank you very much for the feedback, my winter preset may not be as polished though but you'll be the one telling me 
nah it takes a good deal of time to get reshade settings working well together... i certainly dont have the skill or patience to do so 😄
Anyone can just tick a few boxes and stick the bloom on high... but it really shows when presets are made by people who know what they are doing
I'm fucking glad you're telling me this, I swear some people are like : hey this is my preset, then proceed to have ultra bloom + FGFX
For the blinding light + dark ground ultra graphics
I've spent a month on perfecting it xD
There's still room for improvement but I won't touch it, it would not be healthy for me
dont you dare touch it 😄
Right going to set up the melting winter pack and try that. I loved Graupel so i am interested to see what you've done with multiple winter packs.
I'll put my hands down I promise 
It's going to look vastly different I'm telling you xD
Anyone got pics of Edens new reshade with the autumn season redux on? Im using the golden autumn redux and wanna compare what they look like before going through the steps of switching myself
hey @mint owl sorry for this stupid question but what's your PC setup?
just CPU and GPU is enough
Haha, here we are, answered in FAQ already 
But I'll provide a screen, just a moment
wait why is your ram running at 1067 MHz?
Oh the Melting winters pack is lovely, and again another perfect fitting reshade for it! The other reshades i tried with Graupel just made the ground way to white and you could see nothing.
I don't remember it's an old screenshot
Btw for your question above, try searching in #╟📸screenshots channel, I may have some people's screenshots there
Ah very well
And i'll try thanks!
Thank you very much
You will still have some blinding moments due to sun on snow unfortunately, especially after a blowout, well, that was before a few tweaks I've made before release so I don't know 
Only thing i decided against was setting the colour gradient to cool... bit too much blue overall for my taste but keeping with the vanilla setting, it looks perfect to me
Oh well, fair enough, I like the Icy feeling it gets with it, just like the UI x) You will still find some weird weathers regardless, notably the misery ones, trying to do a reshade around them is pure failure guaranteed unfortunately
yeah i suppose that is the downside to reshade in that it is an overall applied effect rather then how like the ENB shader works for Skyrim where each weather can be individually customised.
Still...awesome work! gonna play with Melting Winters on for a while 😄
Yup, would be great to have ENB for Stalker I agree xD
Enjoy ^^
an ENB for STALKER plus GTR (whenever the full release is) would be amazing
there was an old one made years ago i believe... it is in the Autumn Aurora mod for shadow of chernobyl... i think that was an ENB anyway.
But i dont think Boris developed it much. His bread and butter is clearly Skyrim and Bugthesda games.
someone might hook you up for some basics with reshade - pls elp

A good light touch for making a reshade is the realness! Your preset looks amazing
Refreshing change from oversharpened blackcrush presets
@mint owl can you give me the link for your reshade ? i wanna recommend it to someone.
@nimble pier #🖇old-mods-posting message
Does anyone know how to change gamma in CS Eden's reshade ?
I can't find the option.
you go to video settings (where you change resolution) and theres a button for basic lightning options
Thank you for the recommendation
I'll definitely try it out
Apparnetly I'm blind but I'm not seeing the DL link in there at all
its not a link you click on, you copy and paste it into the browser man
click the expand button
then read the text
yep
I did read it all the way down but blew right through that part
Blind confirmed
I was looking all over like opkay cool I got it but where do I GET IT?
Thank you
no problem
where can i get edens cock reshade
cock sky
Well, my readme seems to work well xD
Half flooded messages compared to my expectations after 10 hours away
I can’t tell if that’s good or bad
I think I have an issue though, everytime I take a walk somewhere, I can't help but look at the sky box, the intensity of the sun exposure on the ground and the opacity of shadows, plz send help

Well, now there's a fix in my message for goofy headshots blood particles xD
Yeah but that was nowhere near intended in the first place 

That moment I type my name and there's 314 mentions, it was not even a third two weeks ago

Does anyone know what the standard filters are for GAMMA? I unchecked all of them to play around, but I kinda just want to reset since I honestly kinda liked the stock filters.

Hey guys, do you know where I can edit the god rays/volume intensity? The full moon from the weather mod I'm using is fucking crazy 
Lol does it feel like it blinds you?
Change your sun rays either to volumetric or screen space. I can never remember but one fixes it
Oh yeah changing to volumetric makes it better, I was wondering which config file edit those values. I guess they made it based on volumetric. I'm using the weather part from Autumn Redux
User.ltx has a section about the rays
Golden Autumn Redux was built for base volumetric settings though, your game might look a bit jank if you modify it too much
Ah but I’m not sure if that really matters when you’re sporting a near black UI like that 
My ui is a bit brighter now, I'm tweaking my tonemap now, way too blue, I'll get there eventually
some underwater shit going on 
A little trick passed down from generation to generation
Use LumaFade so your stuff doesn’t affect your UI at all
ohhhh, does it mask all inventory?
If you use it right
Nice, I'll take a look
It also suppresses some effects though so be careful what you use it on, but it’s nice
MXAO for one though is a great effect, it’s only issue being that it bleeds your game through your UI and menus, but if you use it with LumaFade the bleed is cancelled out and it still looks great
Oh Yeah, I tried using and noticed that so I turned it off, I'll fuck around with LumaFade to see if I can get it working
Whoa, what weather mod is that?
Golden Autumn Redux
I tried that mod, and sometimes when i stand in the sun, things just look washed out, and blown out, as if there was too much bloom without bloom.
Did you configure your ingame "basic Light Settings"?
Is the game supposed to have this much blue/purple color to it ?
Golden Autumn Redux with latest CS Eden reshade
!bluetint
If you have that annoying blue tint, open your GAMMA folder and go here: .Grok's Modpack Installer/GAMMA/modpack_addons/. Then, delete this mod: mod: 188- Enhanced Shaders - KennShade
Now, open your MO2 and reinstall 188- Enhanced Shaders - KennShade and tick:
01 Enhanced Shaders - PBR
02 Enhanced Color Grading
Optional - shader_param controls - simple
Part of why I'm putting volumetric in instructions 
Which if any Bloom do you use, btw? I've been messing with PPFX but its Tonemap washes things out a bit too much
How to restore basic reshade to gamma settings ?? I just played around with these settings: P I would like to go back to the initial settings without reinstalling the whole game xD
!default follow the Keybinds instructions
Modlist
To bring your mod list back to default, inverting any changes made by you:
- Open the installer with admin rights
- 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:
- Go in
GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\appdata - Copy the
user.ltxfile you'll find in there (note that every change made by you in youruser.ltxwill be reverted to default) - Paste this file in
Anomaly\appdata
im confused of this part, i cant seem to find either of these in mo2 trough the filter
Autumn Harmony has to be downloaded if you xant to use it, then you won't find a separator using the search bar since it's not a mod, it's at the end of your modlist
good point, figured i had to download the mod itself. funny how the download link is after all of the "todo's" so i noticed it later
to me it looks like this so i suppose its correct ? its after the "Gamma disabled"
"Just above" xD
I did that so people can't just download and call it a day xD
Click priority on the right corner because your load order is inverted right now
i haven't asked before, but if you update gamma (either fully reinstall or just updating) the reshade should still work, right? or just load the reshade profile again if its not
you simply load the ini again
Heya! I was wondering which reshades are most popular among GAMMA players, as I'm totally new to Anomaly in general and would like to make the game look cooler without sacrificing that much FPS. Currently I can run the game pretty smoothly on high base settings, but with some filters applied, it starts to go low fast, so I was thinking about using different shader options.
Nice, I'll give those a try!
Well maybe my Reshade isn't the best option to save fps though x)
so i just tried to load a reshade (eden's) and after trying to open the menu with home it didn't work and it also didn't work with shift+f2. Anyone know why?
might work if i actually install reshade
Hi guys, wanted you ask if you guys have any good suggestions for a nice reshade which is compatible with gamma which is a bit more vibrant and modern looking? And is it hard to install?
Looks great
Did you install GAMMA in the first place ? 
!bluetint
If you have that annoying blue tint, open your GAMMA folder and go here: .Grok's Modpack Installer/GAMMA/modpack_addons/. Then, delete this mod: mod: 188- Enhanced Shaders - KennShade
Now, open your MO2 and reinstall 188- Enhanced Shaders - KennShade and tick:
01 Enhanced Shaders - PBR
02 Enhanced Color Grading
Optional - shader_param controls - simple
This did not work for me, any suggestions?
Even doing it + deleting shader cache ?
It's a bug that is definitely an annoying one tbh
!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.
Has Somebody an Idea . When i am in a building and other people tend to be realy black and dark If Not Standing in direct light .
And ist there a good Setup for ingame grapic settings?
I have also done the answer cache yes that didn't work either
yoyo, stalkers
quick question, after a fresh install do i have to do anything in the reshade-options?
i know of course it depends on the individual taste and all but i mean like.... to crank up the overall graphics
i just wonder, that the antialiasing for example is standard setting OFF in the game options .... is that handled by something else? like the reshade or... idk, a third party application?
or do i just put all on max (i know hardware is required for that but thats another story haha) and be fine? reshade active and dont change anything?
thanks for answers
Graphics wise I'd only touch the grass sliders; AA off in game options and enable it from nvidia panel if you can
Really nice foggy mornings with the autumn harmony pack
guys how can i have this fancy preset ?

Wdym that’s just Tarkov
Does this modpack come with ReShade ambient occlusion? I just want to know so I will disable the in-game AO
SSS? I changed it to HBAO+, I'll put it back
If I'm using a reshade, Eden's am I supposed to change the ssao?
Nope, everything is already adjusted
no that’s anomaly i’m pretty sure
look bottom left
def anomaly. foliage is too old school to be EFT
uhm lemme throw you the link
So here is one hefty gun this is the Alligator Anti material rifle created by L4U6H1N6-LUN4T1C this massive weapon comes in two flavors its Black matt style and its greener military style, both have a number of kits that can be installed upon them. The weapon will also feature in Dark signal RC 3.0 with its new audio as shown here.
Hope you enj...
here how to make my game reshade looks like this ?
!deadzone
How to bring back the default look for the Zone: #╭📖faq message
game not loading after installing project inervo reshade
I was joking I saw bottom left
yes but how can i make my game looks like it
I have no idea
I want to know to. I have No Idea what i should do with the ingame settings
yeah, I'm still wondering. If I play with a Reshade the Final edit thing from Eden, should I change my ingame advanced setting SSAO mode? I'ts on SSDO atm and everything looks good
Eden's Final*
As Giuseppe said above do not touch the SSAO setting and keep it as SSDO
Well ultimately it is a matter of taste
ahh, I was hoping Eden would answer but I didnt want to bother him. HDAO lagged for me now that I tested
I'm pretty sure other options will affect your frames though
yeah HDAO really did affect it
I'm in dead city and will check if there really was a difference or if I'm delusional
is my idea or majestic weather effects is really bright and glossy? What weather mods you recommend?
HDAO as well as AA seem to affect mine a lot. With AA off in Pripyat I get 150ish, with AA on x8 with SMAA on high, I get 70
this looks beautiful honestly
Holy shit
Here's a tip if you want clean looking screenshots:
- Disable the HUD along with the body health setting (In game, not in MO2) by pressing H
- Look at the sun or anywhere near the sun (Optional but this makes screenshots look pretty realistic)
Hello maby now i can get some Help 🥲 i have a Problem everything Indoor Looks Pitch black (people and myself) If they are Not in direct light
yeah i did
i did everythink like eden said
and everything works fine thats just the only problem
idk
hm
Send a screenshot if you can
is there a specific way to set up the ingame grapic settings ?
yeah i will give me some seconds
In the settings of course
yeah ofc lol sry i meant how to set them up
I set most of them to max settings (Only do this if you have a high end PC)
For optimized settings
Go to the FAQ
yeah i have one . Just tought maby you need to watch out for something special
allright
and idk i cant get it to happen now strange lol
!bluetint
If you have that annoying blue tint, open your GAMMA folder and go here: .Grok's Modpack Installer/GAMMA/modpack_addons/. Then, delete this mod: mod: 188- Enhanced Shaders - KennShade
Now, open your MO2 and reinstall 188- Enhanced Shaders - KennShade and tick:
01 Enhanced Shaders - PBR
02 Enhanced Color Grading
Optional - shader_param controls - simple
i still cant get this to work, i deleted the shader cash reinstalled everything as needed
If you have a vanilla modlist, try asking in #🔨base-gamma-support
thats what i meant. Idk i feel like its to dark inside (my charakter/gun) but maby its just my brain lol


time to make my game look pretty
