╟🎑reshades

[grim marlin]

Hey guys I unticked all the options in the default shader for performance reasons. Was wondering if turning it off completely would be better or is it still doing some magic still? Not too familiar with reshaders.

[raw maple]

Hello! I'm tweaking around with filters here and was wondering, what is Performance Mode? I notice it takes away the ability to affect specific parameters, does it lock those in performance oriented defaults or something? Just trying to decide if I should use it or just tweak the parameters to get better FPS

[cunning thistle]

use performance mode when you're done tweaking the reshade

just like the hood of your car, you close it when you're done fixing shit

[raw maple]

Ooh I see hahah, thank you!

[mint owl]

Reshade only works as long as effects are active, if you disable everything, then it's just the same as not having reshade at all

[livid edge]

hmm seems like with Eden's final reshade, im getting frame drops and hiccups here and there

switched back to Adaptive (previous one) and the frames are back to normal

awesome job nonetheless

[spice plume]

where is performance mode at? lol

[sharp scaffold]

Im not quite sure how to work reshade. Is there a shader for lens flare?

[mint owl]

Look for ambiant light.fx

It has a lens effect

Or there's another one called unreal lenses which you may be able to work with

[mild dome]

There's a shader for bloom + horizontal flares, forget the name

[narrow belfry]

how do i enable the fps counter?

[limber moon]

Can I use other shaders

Screen space Shaders

[silent cairn]

That is included in GAMMA

[limber moon]

oh neat

[silent cairn]

(Grok's edit)

[limber moon]

I want the game to look darker so Im thinking of puttinv expedition shader mod

by darker I mean moodier

[silent cairn]

It will look slightly different if you install newest SSS yourself and disable Shaders cumulative pack for GAMMA

[limber moon]

Just noticed there's a unticked Agressor Reshade

[silent cairn]

That only includes textures

It is poorly named

[limber moon]

Oh I see

If I for example downloaded Expeditions shader and installed it manually (drag & drop) and loaded it in game will ot disable the SSS ?

[silent cairn]

If I remember correctly someone in this discord made an entire installer if you wanted to have expedition graphics on top of GAMMA

[tribal lake]

Pretty late but that's normal

The zone is already dark in the first place

Either you turn it into unicorn simulator

Or you turn it into a dead zone

I prefer a balance between unicorn simulator and dead zone

you can't see anything in a dead zone

unicorn simulator just burns your eyes

Autumn Harmony is supposed to turn the game into a dead zone

[silent cairn]

No, it's not just you imagining it. Some mod or something in this game darken characters that are in the "shade".

[arctic epoch]

So its Not my fault?

[silent cairn]

Well if it is your fault then I've messed up something as well

[minor urchin]

what does the shadow map setting do

hey guys i kinda prefer the greener look of anomoly opposed to the red/brown of gamma

is there a way i can change it back?

[silent cairn]

!deadzone

[void depot]

How to bring back the default look for the Zone: #╭📖faq message

[sand thicket]

so my game looks kinda nice but its way to dark to be playable
i unistalled agressor reshade and now it looks like this

[tribal lake]

Aggressor is supposed to make the game look like tarkov

By making it more blue and not dark

Idk why you would think that it would make the game dark

It's most likely the gamma reshade

You can find other reshades if you want

It's not like grok is restricting you to one preset anyways

Also reshades just make the game look better without affecting the actual game itself

[cunning thistle]

bottom right (check the mark when playing)

[sand thicket]

installing majestic fixed the extreme dark for me

[cunning thistle]

check #🖇old-mods-posting for reshades, this one by CS Eden is really good: #🖇old-mods-posting message

[tribal lake]

Looks too blue but that's your preference

If you only need something that can help you see, that's fine

It doesn't matter if it's a unicorn simulator or a dead zone

If you're happy with it

Then you can use it

[mint owl]

To be fair, not really, Dead Zone is what GAMMA is offering by default, Autumn Harmony is a more colorful/vibrant brown that's supposed to be a mix between a Zone that is well alive but also partly dead

[tribal lake]

Alright

Other than that

Melting winters is great!

[mint owl]

Glad you like it ^^

[tribal lake]

It makes it feel like the first level in Metro Exodus and Novosibirsk

And I love the game

[mint owl]

I actually want to play Metro Exodus someday but I'm glad I made something with the same vibe

[tribal lake]

Metro Exodus is alright

Not much you can do compared to Stalker

But it is more hardcore

Minimalistic HUD

Finite resources

Weapon jamming

I haven't tried out the other two

[mint owl]

What about Chernobilyte ? Did you try it ?

[tribal lake]

No

I think there's a reshade that tries to make stalker look like metro

[mild dome]

Chernobylite is... weird. It's more of an rpg

[tribal lake]

But it's old

Still usable

[muted glacier]

Idk what I did, I installed Golden Autumn Redux, and the base, and Eden's reshade and now my fps is garbage and game destroys my gpu (2070), and actually even with all that disabled still destroys my gpu and fps. It was very good before this, and I did clear shader cache by deleting the folder. Any ideas?

[mild dome]

Restart?

[muted glacier]

Restart the game?

[mild dome]

Your PC

[muted glacier]

I did that multiple times now, also tried diff graphic settings and none do anything except going lower res making it all good, but that wasn't needed

Ah, I will try again. Did a windows update a bit ago also (after the problem iirc)

Same thing

[silent cairn]

Did you install anything without mod organizer besides the reshade (like the user.ltx)?

[muted glacier]

Nop afaik

I installed Autumn Seasons BASE then Golden Autumn Redux then the reshade actually with MO since that's what it said for Toned Down Eye Adaptation

Ah and the appdata and bin from the archive manually without MO but that's what the instructions said and iirc I had good fps with it as well

These are the only new things I added on MO (Toned down is the last in order)

Even if I disable them and re-enable the rest such as gamma weathers etc it's still shit. Actually gamma weathers crashed the game on startup

[silent cairn]

!k98

[void depot]

1. Go in this folder: GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches
2. Copy these three folders (check pic)
3. Go to your Anomaly folder
4. Paste these three folders (check pic)
5. Overwrite/replace all if asked
   It won't delete your save files.

Here is a picture for reference: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1012510897136222293/1013951079538495528/k98.png

[silent cairn]

And delete your shader cache @muted glacier

[muted glacier]

I did this at first actually

Will try again

But the reshade told me to overwrite the appdata and bin

Hold on

I'll run the game now and see

[silent cairn]

Also I think you were trying Eden's older reshade setup

[muted glacier]

Oh it could be, it's in the same pack with the Winter reshade

[muted glacier]

Yup, this fixed it thank you!

I think I also found the newer reshade, probably

Thank you very much, will try and see now

[silent cairn]

The new one is also kinda harsh on your frames unfortunately

[livid edge]

i think my rig is pretty beefy but can't seem to tank the frame drops in Eden's final reshade

but then, again, super awesome job on that

[sharp scaffold]

Are these in the reshade menu when I press the "home key"?

[craggy bough]

Anyone know why my PDA suddenly got less bright? It happened seemingly randomly at some point, I remember noticing the shift in brightness.
Current being how it is right now, and beginning being when I first started a new safe

[vapid olive]

you sure its a reshade issue and not just empty batteries?

[craggy bough]

https://tenor.com/view/facepalm-annoyed-stöhn-oh-no-oh-nein-gif-24943313

[vapid olive]

hahahaha happens

[craggy bough]

Thanks

[river flower]

"Muh realism"

Then batteries dies

"Why screen dark"

[vapid olive]

[muted glacier]

How beefy is this supposed to be even

With gamma reshade I have ~80 fps in the same place that with Eden I have 50 then if del the reshade-shaders folder and add all that instead it's 20 fps

Seems like autumn season base and golden autumn redux halve my fps too if I try it like that w gamma reshade

[livid edge]

beef enough to get 144 consistently with GAMMA reshade

[muted glacier]

autumn season base destroys the fps for me, just tested without it

I may have figured something tho, will check

Isn't this the order right above GAMMA disabled?

Nvm, apparently I was an idiot and fucked up the installation of BASE by adding the archive and not just the folder I guess because now it's all good

Update : All fixed, So yeah gamma goes from 80 fps on 2k to eden 50 fps same spot also on 2k

💀 I mean wtf

[real chasm]

ReShade is very demanding, so is those two mods.

Makes kinda sense if you recall how "dead" the Zone looks in Grok his Imagine!

[glossy jasper]

damn bro

I manage ~70 fps with a 10700k and a 3080 on Eden's Reshade

[dawn python]

i mean i get 55 (rostok) to 85 on a 3600 non-X and a RTX 3070, 1440p w/ eden's reshade so

s'fine. you can do a lot just by tweaking settings

[brazen sinew]

also, grass distance doe not need to be on 190 or whatever is set

put on 110 instead, that way you can have nice dense grass

Why the default settings are to have like one or two blades of grass but for the whole map seems stupid, with the correct blending of color of grass and terrain, the lack of grass in the distance will just blend out anyway, thats how modern games like DayZ handle it

[real chasm]

How much CPU and GPU usage you have?

I've have the strange feeling my Game straight up just don't use anything

[dawn python]

i'll be honest: i don't check

[real chasm]

Mhm mhm. Grass distance?

[dawn python]

i wouldn't even have looked at fps had people not constantly asked

like 90

but w/e, i play with dead zone textures so it really doesn't matter

[real chasm]

Tbh yeah, my Game runs butterly smooth. But apparently ReShade's counter says 40-50. Its weird lol.

[dawn python]

if it looks good and i can play without it being a slideshow i'm happy

[real chasm]

Agreed.

[undone stump]

hi guys, what is awene reshade ?

should i turn on Agressor Reshade - Awene ?

[arctic epoch]

I want to know too

[dawn python]

personal preference. i don't like it.

[potent hollow]

guys any suggestions for mods or other reshades to make the game look really good?

[tribal lake]

The visual enhancing mods are already in the modpack

Reshades

you can find one that looks good to you

If you like a dark zone, go for
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/reshade
or
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/grim-sky-reshade

Aggressor is for the Tarkov Feel

It is already included with the modpack

It's disabled by default

If you're using something like autumn season redux/golden season redux or inverno

Go for eden's reshade

Eden also has two modpacks

One for autumn

And one for winter

Which eden strongly recommends with the reshades

[sour oar]

[brazen sinew]

It isn't, a ground texture used to me enabled from the mod, but isn't used anymore.

[potent hollow]

is there a good ground texture mod that goes well with golden season redux

[mint owl]

Ambiant light for sure, the second I don't know

[woven wharf]

I don't know why but since this afternoon the textures in the game looks white, I'm using autumn reshade, I don't know if it's a bug or if it's the weather in the game

[sour oar]

Are you using Autumn Season?

Or Golden Autumn?

[woven wharf]

Not golden autumn I'm sure

so autumn season

I'm using autumn harmony

[dawn python]

from #│🔧troubleshooting #│🔧troubleshooting message

[sour oar]

It's a different issue

[woven wharf]

It changed nothing

[dawn python]

oh my b then

[sour oar]

This is caused by Autumn Harmony because one of it's main selling points is that it transitions between early winter and late autumn

[dawn python]

ohhh huh

i mean that's kinda neat

[woven wharf]

So that's normal I'm in winter ?

[sour oar]

Yup it's nice

Yeah you're fine, it'll go away eventually

[woven wharf]

Yeah if I'm in winter it's ok, I just thought that was a bug

I looks fine if in the lore I'm in winter

[sour oar]

Your grass looks a bit funny, although I haven't played with Autumn Harmony, but are you sure you disabled all of the mods Eden mentioned?

[woven wharf]

but the trees are white :/

[sour oar]

Autumn Season and it's derivatives are a bit janky to be honest, I prefer Golden Autumn Redux more myself

[woven wharf]

Yeah yeah it worked perfectly until this afternoon, like 7 hours ago for me

[woven wharf]

ok let's try golden autumn then, juist tried this one to see

[sour oar]

Autumn Season is great as it is though imo

So just keep that in mind

[woven wharf]

Is there a enb you would recommand, other than golden autumn

[sour oar]

I'm mostly saying that because I'm not sure how well any of the new reshades Eden made work with Golden Autumn

Cause tbh I don't use Eden's reshade I use my own

Ah nah you're fine, IV in Eden's readme is for Golden Autumn Redux

[woven wharf]

Can I see yours, with a screenshot ? I'm trying some enb I only used eden's so far

[sour oar]

Mine isn't public

[woven wharf]

np

[sour oar]

I was just saying that I don't have any personal experience with Eden's new reshade

[dawn python]

i don't think there are enbs for anomaly

[solemn crescent]

nope, just enb for autumn aurora

the depth of field on it was really good, but Boris stopped updating it, because all his Patreon money comes from Skyrim players.

[mint owl]

You have the blue tint disease it seems

[woven wharf]

I've just been sleeping for a night like right before u send the message and it's back to normal

[mint owl]

Oh

[woven wharf]

weird

[mint owl]

Because aside of performances hit, I never had a glaring issue like this

Autumn Harmony is mid Autumn, like really brown, and white trees should only be seen in Melting Winters

[mint owl]

This is a lie !!!

[woven wharf]

Ok I'll let u know if it appears again

It seems like it happens for 3 days in game and disappeared just like that

[mint owl]

Yeah, it seems to be related to clear2 weather mostly

[woven wharf]

Does this mod changes the color depending on the weather ?

back to normal

[mint owl]

Golden Autumn weathers (used by Golden Autumn Redux and Autumn Season Redux, and by extension Autumn Harmony) don't change the colour too much but there is some different between Clear1,2 and 3

[mint owl]

This is looking as intended though

[woven wharf]

oh ok

[woven wharf]

and pretty nice imo

[mint owl]

Thank you ^^ When I'll be back, maybe I'll work on a real performance preset though

[modern sorrel]

Could I just get some recommendations on what to tick and not tick or you're reshade settings
nothing was ticked for me so :)

[woven wharf]

better that this actually ^^

[mint owl]

It means you didn't install it correctly, you're supposed to have all 23 effects ticked as soon as you load the reshade

[modern sorrel]

I did but then I accidently unticked them cause I am smort

LMAO

It's like 4am so XD

[mint owl]

Just go to the archive and copy paste the ini back to your bin folder to restore it

[modern sorrel]

I am so tired to understand that

[mint owl]

The archive you dowloaded for my reshade, you will find my preset ini file in it, just copy it to your Anomaly bin folder to overwrite the one you destroyed x)

I advise you to get some rest though x)

[modern sorrel]

I will try understand this tomorrow

gn

XD

[woven wharf]

Any explanation ? Shaders or the Zone ?

[modern sorrel]

Seems like shaders to me

but the bottom one seems normal

not sure what is wrong with the top one

[sour oar]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

https://tenor.com/view/walter-white-nonono-no-no-no-not-now-gif-19185122

Ok in my defence I’ve never used it so I don’t know how bad it is but that’s a super weird issue

[woven wharf]

It appears only in the middle of the building

whatever I'm gonna sleep it's kinda late

gn stalkers

[sour oar]

You’re standing too close to an electrical anomaly it seems

Where are exactly are you? Lol

[woven wharf]

without any anomalies in the building

dead city

[sour oar]

Which building

[woven wharf]

Don't know one of the first, I closed the game, heading to bed gn

[silent cairn]

That is just psy anomaly, looks exactly as intended

[sour oar]

I can’t believe I’ve been putting off my reshade for so long

I’ve been in denial

No more running away from my mistakes I guess

[silent cairn]

Yeah when I look straight into the ground I get around 210 fps but if I activate your preset it drops to 100. You should definitely stack less effects together, especially effects like Unsharp are very costly frames-wise.

Now the great thing is that stalker is CPU heavy so you can afford to put load on your GPU like this but still it will murder some PCs

[sour oar]

Easier said than done honestly

Changing the reshade to a focus on frames would make it look much worse

Every effect matters, too, even removing one can make a noticeable change

[mint owl]

Exactly, all of these effects are here for a purpose

[sour oar]

Eden wouldn’t just mindlessly place effects on top of each other

[mint owl]

But you can try unticking some to your liking though, see if it helps with your framerate

[sour oar]

To be fair this is what I do BUT

[mint owl]

I won't be able to make another preset before January so... your best bet is to tweak it for yourself

[mint owl]

[silent cairn]

Oh I know Eden has painstakingly adjusted every effect to fit as many situations as possible

[mint owl]

Yeah, but honestly it's far from impossible to make a performance oriented preset, I just didn't have enough time on hand to do so

[vapid olive]

the get going, slacker

[wet violet]

you can always check in reshade statistics to check which shader is heavy and go from there

blooms are usually expensive, clarity is one that I'm on the fence because it's heavy and it doesn't give that much difference

[silent cairn]

I personally love clarity, but yeah it's quite heavy

[muted glacier]

What the fuck

I reinstalled the game cause fps was fucked non-stop after I tried installing Golden Autumn Redux and the Base, even with them off and everything else back to default, it'd be shit

So I reinstalled the game. It was okay. I decided to try to reinstall those but even more careful. Game exploding with garbage fps like i'm playing with 20-30

Disabled them and put Skies Redux, Gamma Weathers and Roadside back on and did delete shader cache of course, and game is still garbage performance. What even is the cause

[mint owl]

Lead the way

[vapid olive]

off a cliff maybe

[somber frost]

Does anyone have good settings for the reshade that comes with GAMMA?

[vapid olive]

^that man above there with an orange name

[somber frost]

How do I got about getting them from the Orange man? 😀

[vapid olive]

#🖇old-mods-posting message

[vapid olive]

just hit PgUp

disables all ReShade settings

[exotic moon]

RTGI presets anyone?

[lost gyro]

so i followed all steps for edens final reshade/autumn reshade and in game it is basically pitrch black and i cannot see shit

has anyone ran into this before? i read the READ.MEs and couldnt find anything

[silent cairn]

!blackscreen

[void depot]

Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[copper drum]

@mint owl got your reshade up and running today, looks great and runs fantastic. the readme was very helpful, didn't encounter any issues with installation or customization of the UI. Thank you for all your work building it out and tweaking it all! ❤️

[solid flicker]

Anyone knows anything about ''enhanced shaders color grading'' addon? I installed it and activated it but the shaders didnt appear in the game

[mint owl]

That has to be the sweetest words I've heard from someone installing my reshade so far, no issues ? No questions ? What a day to be alive 💖

[mint owl]

Already in GAMMA by default

[mint owl]

Something went wrong then, try the blackscreen instructions from the bot/my FAQ

[upbeat frigate]

@mint owl sorry for the question but I have the blue tint issue and I cant seem to get rid of it. I went through the steps in the FAQ a few times now and nothing has changed. readme was very helpful otherwise.

[mint owl]

The problem is, aside of that, I don't really know how to get rid of that stupid tint, it seems to be tied to the Autumn Weathers though, especially Clear2

[silent cairn]

Lower the hemi colors to 35 or so in clear2 weather file should fix it

[woven wharf]

Is there a way to get rid of this twinkling in the trees ?

Like when u move the character u can see the light really lightly flashing through the leafs it's kinda annoying

[sour oar]

Switch sun ray settings perhaps?

[mint owl]

Yup, in the option you can try lowering sun rays intensity

[woven wharf]

Doesn't change anything, I'm uploading a video to show u, because it's pretty hard to describe with words actually

look at that tree in the middle of the screen

U see what I mean ?

[mint owl]

Hmm, hard to see because I'm on the phone, but can you try setting the lighting to screen space instead of volumetric ?

[woven wharf]

I don't think that's an issue with sunrays

changing to screenspace doesn't change anything

[livid edge]

don't forget to get some rest Eden you're troubleshooting nonstop

[silent cairn]

@woven wharf You could try to crank up the antialiasing but I don't think you can entirely get rid of that shimmer even with reshade effects

[woven wharf]

antialising doensn't do anything, but the real question is : does anybody got this as well ?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LD5WA6qcGY&t=17s

[woven wharf]

U can see in this video, the trees are not the same as mine, they don't have this weird shimmer effect, so why in my game ? I would like them to be the same as in the video to be clear ^^'

And idk if it's the shaders or the game textures

[silent cairn]

The reason could be exactly because the trees are not the same

Lemme try with different trees and see

[woven wharf]

ok but we play the same game right ? are your trees like that ?

just asking

[silent cairn]

Yes they are

[woven wharf]

you have this shimmer effect ?

[silent cairn]

Indeed I do

[woven wharf]

personally it's bothering me

[dapper rivet]

crank the anti aliasing

[woven wharf]

does nothing

[silent cairn]

crank the SMAA

[dapper rivet]

anomaly has really bad anti aliasing

[dapper rivet]

this

and maybe some post process reshade AA

tbh not much you can do about it, if there was it would already be implemented

[woven wharf]

I'm in very high SMAA

[woven wharf]

Yeah maybe

[silent cairn]

Eventually your brain filters them out

[woven wharf]

It can't

[dapper rivet]

half the time youre to busy killing people that you wont even stop and notice the trees

[woven wharf]

Na I do pay attention to details like that ^^ it won't disturb my experience of the game btw, I just love details in video games and this one is bothering me that's all

[silent cairn]

It's is annoying for sure

especially the autumn trees are very suspectible to this

[tidal marlin]

Might not be the exact same issue, but have you tried deleting shader cache, setting MSAA to 4x, closing the game, running the game once in DX10, closing the game and reopening to play in DX11? This fixed this issue for me. If that doesn't work, lower your mipmap texture bias.

[woven wharf]

Doesn't deleting shader cache will cause any trouble knowing I'm using shaders ? If not I'm gonna try and tell u if it worked

[tidal marlin]

No you're fine to delete the folder shaders_cache in anomaly/appdata/

The game rebuilds it on launch if it isnt there

[woven wharf]

ok ok gonna try and tell u

[tidal marlin]

Rad, I'm interested to see if it helps other people

Just to be clear, you want to set MSAA to 4x before deleting shader cache, so you're opening in DX10 for the first time with no shader cache.

[silent cairn]

Lowering texture MIP bias is actually very helpful at the cost of detail

[tidal marlin]

Thats good to hear, did you give the delete shaders, run in DX10, close, run in DX11 thing a try

[dapper rivet]

actually if you have nvidia control panel try setting the AA in there instead of in game

I heard it helps

[silent cairn]

It helps but doesn't eliminate it

[tidal marlin]

definitely not a complete fix but I found it was a really good starting point to use nvidia control panel and reshade injectors to smooth out everything entirely

[woven wharf]

Lowering the mipmap textures actually fixed it a bit

[woven wharf]

gonna try as wel

Actually x8 antialiasing and low mip map textures kinda fixed it

[tidal marlin]

sweet, i’m trying to recreate the issue to see if there’s anything else i did that i might have missed

[silent cairn]

I still recommend using nvidia FXAA instead of ingame AA

[woven wharf]

trying right now

[woven wharf]

Weirdly using nvidia control panel get it worse idk why, but only crank up atialising to x8 and lowering mip map fixes it a bit

[silent cairn]

Aight, good to know 👍

[woven wharf]

So thanks guys ! It helped a lot !

My brain can rest now

tbo it fells like I lost between 5 to 10 fps but that's a tomorrow problem

[silent cairn]

The ingame AA is really heavy, which is why I settle with nvidia's AA

[woven wharf]

Yeah but it changed nothing so in game AA for me

Is there a command to see fps in game ?

[silent cairn]

If you have reshade on you can enable it in reshade's settings tab

[tidal marlin]

oh make sure you guys are using another texture mod for trees. the vanilla gamma one seems to increase the issue. i use the autumn summer one from here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/autumn-season-redux, and in nvidia i use "enhance the aa setting, 4x" and "supersample 2x"

with smaa + fxaa in reshade, and these settings for user.ltx

r3_msaa 4x
r3_msaa_alphatest st_opt_atest_msaa_dx10_1
r3_use_dx10_1 on

this is how mine looks now

when in motion the shimmering in the trees is entirely eliminated

[woven wharf]

I'll try that tomorrow, it's like 8 am for me lmao

[tidal marlin]

lmao gg, stalker will still be there when youre up

[woven wharf]

ya

gn and thanks for the help

[minor urchin]

guys i prefer the greener look to anomaly over the red/brown of gamma, Is there a way to switch it back?

[dapper rivet]

#custom-textures message

[minor urchin]

says that one was deleted

[dapper rivet]

Textures: Summer

Simply disable Gardener of the Zone and Simple Autumn Retexture (No Leaves) add-ons.

[minor urchin]

dang i was playing with a few settings before i disabled that those mods and now my game is super dark

it would have nothing to do with disabling them cause this happened before

my pda is still bright its just the game

the sky is completely normal its just the ground and trees

[silent cairn]

!shader

[void depot]

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.

[minor urchin]

still not working

[silent cairn]

Did you disable any of these

[minor urchin]

i had them dissabled then re abled them and i think that might have somethjing to do with it @silent cairn

ok i just put them back off but its still dissabled

[silent cairn]

@minor urchin if you disable any of them you have to follow the step 1 in here #old-framerate-optimisation message

[minor urchin]

u well that made it worse

all good ill have to reinstall the game anyways

[mild dome]

what

[swift robin]

How to stop this?

[swift robin]

can someone tell me why this is?

I did a fresh install of gamma

[mild dome]

You don't need to worry about that message

addons are different than shaders

[swift robin]

yeah but i dont have all the options avaible for it

lots of shaders are missing

[mild dome]

well that's not why

ah, gamma seems to only include the shaders it uses now.

[swift robin]

oh

[mild dome]

You can just install reshade over top and select more shaders

[swift robin]

wait so should I add the new shaders into the mod organizer?

[mild dome]

no, into the anomaly bin folder

I mean I guess you could do it in MO but it doesn't really matter

[swift robin]

ok wtf, now my game just crashes

[proper narwhal]

is there any reshades for gas masks? to look something like metro masks?

[mild dome]

guess you could disable "No mask textures"

[proper narwhal]

where is it?

[mild dome]

Search in MO

[proper narwhal]

okay thx

and disable it yes?

[mild dome]

I did say disable

[proper narwhal]

yeah i see sorry

[woven wharf]

The addon have been deleted

[tidal marlin]

check the thread, i think there is another link to it in the comments

[woven wharf]

There's no thread ^^

[spark osprey]

Hey guys, I am having some issues with my graphics. I seem to be getting these weird artifacts showing up everywhere. Im not sure if theres a setting that will get rid of it im missing, or its something to do with reshade. Any help would be much appreciated.

[tidal marlin]

found it https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C9WHXW0UYQNgZM26iNdFjERCHHqGvyQW/view

you gotta deactivate these mods for it to work:
Grulag's Dead Bushes
Simple Autumn Retexture No
Gardener of the Zone Textures

and put this new one at the bottom of "GAMMA Fixes"

[tidal marlin]

maybe try changing up your sun shadows settings, but i think this is just a part of inserting modern lighting into an old game tbh

[spark osprey]

Thank you for the reply, I'll give it a shot. Totally makes sense though lol

[mild dome]

The lighting isn't far off the original games

Oh those artifacts

[woven wharf]

I've tested it and I don't like it, colorfull trees and grass doesn't fit the world of stalker to me, but the earlier tips u gave helped a lot

[flint fractal]

the sky is blue for me (I installed expedition), any help?

[tidal marlin]

all good bro, im glad i could help!

[flint fractal]

can u help me?

[tidal marlin]

sky texture isnt loading in? im not too sure, you can try deleting your shader cache and seeing if that helps but unless you used the expedition patch for gamma, youll probbaly get bug

[flint fractal]

I disabled expedition and it still was like that

[sour oar]

And you cleared shaders cache?

[flint fractal]

no

[sour oar]

Try that

[flint fractal]

will I delete r4?

[sour oar]

Delete the entire shaders_cache folder

[flint fractal]

and disable Expedition?

@sour oar

[sour oar]

I have literally never seen that before

[sour oar]

Isn’t it disabled already? You said you turned it off

[flint fractal]

i did and it worked, thanks

[craggy bough]

Has anyone encountered a similar issue, screen twitching? Seems to be most noticeable in a dialogue with an NPC but also happens all the time during normal play

[tidal marlin]

are you playing in fullscreen or windowed mode?

[craggy bough]

Tried full screen, borderless and windowed, no difference

[trail blade]

Anyone know what aggressor reshade does? After all this time I still dunno and weather I should have it on or off lol.

[vapid olive]

its just textures in Gamma - and disabled stuff should stay disabled

[trail blade]

bet, is there any mods or any way i can up the look of the game aside from Home Button reshades and the settings?

[vapid olive]

you are in the right channel

look up what people are posting and doing via scrolling

i recommend CS Eden's reshade profile but, tastes

ya know

[trail blade]

ive been looking at it, is it the one that keeps getting deleted?

[sour oar]

Who’s deleting Eden’s reshades?

[vapid olive]

i have no idea what that statement means

[sour oar]

Unless Eden is deleting his old ones

[near lily]

Hello! If i go with the basic reshade (Agressor not enabled), what is your preferred values for gamma, contrast, etc?

Or should i use agressor reshade? If so, what settings?

[sour oar]

Don’t use Aggressor lol

As for the basic reshade, GAMMA has a different user.ltx than regular Anomaly, so the gamma and contrast settings would have been set to work best with the reshade

[near lily]

Thanks. So if i dont use agressor (which im not doing btw), i just go with the basics, as it is?

[sour oar]

Yup

It’s fine as it is, otherwise you can go searching for other reshades

Would not recommend Aggressor, though you might want to try it, but personally there are much better choices

[near lily]

I dont really want reshades, i just want a kinda dark vibe, but with enough visibility to see. 🙂

[mild dome]

If you go to settings and click "basic light settings" you can lower the GAMMA easily

GAMMA's gamma

[mint owl]

Nope, I'm leaving the old ones in case people would prefer it

[woven wharf]

Got the same problem

[night chasm]

the default reshade actually does nothing right.. is just like a little bit darker...

[scarlet meteor]

What's a good reshade to use on top of gamma? I played plenty of gamma just want something maybe less dead, more vibrant but not too much like aggressor. I was thinking maybe expedition? Does anybody know if it's still outdated or usable, or maybe a recommendation of you're own?

[tidal marlin]

i like the summer redux texture pack to brighten the vibe up, and then i just alter the default gamma reshade myself to what i feel looks good. recommend you play around with it rather than using a pre made one at least once to get an idea of what every plugin does

[scarlet meteor]

Thanks I think I'll try it

[sour oar]

I'd recommend one of Eden's reshades, he's a living legend around here

[scarlet meteor]

Where can I find those?

[sour oar]

You know imma pull out Eden’s reshade when someone asks for recommendations

[mint owl]

So you're not suggesting Aggressor ? I heard it's already in GAMMA's load order and you need to enable it

https://tenor.com/view/kekw-risitas-paelleras-e-tu-juan-joya-borja-gif-22795376

[narrow belfry]

how do i make the DOF not suck farts?

[vapid olive]

DOF always does

[tidal marlin]

from an old af guide, no idea if it will work on gamma but worth a shot:

r2_dof [0.000000 - 1.000000,0.000000 - 1.000000,0.000000 - 1.000000]
This feature adjusts the amount of post-filter Depth of Field. But still, it is better to change the values ​​of the considered options below r2_dof_ *.

r2_dof_far [0.000 - 10000.000]
This setting controls the distance at which included DoF. This does not include a temporary increase in DoF (when reloading weapons), and permanent. Lowering the value of an option with 600 by default will increase the blurring of the image.

r2_dof_focus [-10000.000 - 10000.000]
The lower the value of this quantity (by default 1.4), the lower part of your field of view will be "in focus". This will be especially true if you change the r2_dof_far and r2_dof_near.

r2_dof_kernel [0.000 - 10.000]
This option adjusts the overall level of DoF. At 0, DoF will not be noticeable at all, but a higher number increases its level.

r2_dof_near [-10000.000 - 10000.000]
Blur level close to the player objects (for example, your gun). The default value of -1.25.

r2_dof_sky [-10000.000 - 10000.000]
Level DoF with respect to the sky. Default is 30, and the higher it is, the more diffuse sky.

[minor urchin]

do you guys recommending getting rid of gardener of the zone

[keen current]

Anyone knows why the ground looks so wet? It appears Golden autumn redux is causing it, but i can't figure out why

[minor urchin]

wow dude how did u get ur game like taht

my anomoly looks so bronw and dead

[keen current]

CS eden's shader + Golden autumn redux

[minor urchin]

how do they affect performance

[minor urchin]

also how do you install it

[keen current]

There should be a guide on mods-only-posting channel

[vapid olive]

search in #🖇old-mods-posting from CS Eden

[silent cairn]

@keen current I think Grok has tried to mitigate that by editing GAMMA's default ground textures/weather/shaders... Easiest way for you to make it less intense is to lower the r2_sun_lumscale value from the ingame console

[keen current]

Yeah I found out about it. however it makes the game feel less alive.

[silent cairn]

you can try to counter that with shader_param_1 1,1,1,0.2 in the console again

Try changing the last value between 0.1 - 0.3

default is 1,1,1,0 if you end up not liking it

[woven wharf]

2k

Do you have a 16:9 monitor?

#1030498803406606397 message

Check this out, someone is experimenting on DoF lately

[swift robin]

@mint owl sorry for the tag but any pics posted of your reshade so i can compare if it works i did follow the readme and it worked, had few duplicates but fixed that, only thing that confused me was the move the autumn things above seperator but i think i got it

[mint owl]

Well, for pictures, I can't really provide away from computer but just search up my name, should find screenshots of people using my Reshade

As for the separator, it's basically at the end of the load order, you'll find a category named GAMMA disabled, just load it above/before that category

[swift robin]

okie, i think it works as intended atleast my fps thinks so but it looks so good

[mint owl]

Well, if you have all 23 effects ticked, all shader paths correct and the right settings (volumetric, gamma level at 1/1.1, and grading vanilla) then indeed you're good to go

[tight dune]

looking for some advice on settings. Im running a humble 1070 but i want to get the most visually out of the game. This is my first reshade, so im not sure how everything works yet. Do any of you have any cool tips or anything for me? ta

[tight dune]

hah, actually ignore me im old. i scrolled up. I like the look of agressor actually, can i just enable that in MO and tweak in game using the reshade menu?

[silent cairn]

@tight dune The one in MO only comes with textures

[swift robin]

so how exactly do reshades work?

[dusky swallow]

guys, how do i get rid of these weird shadows on the trees and stone?

[valid mica]

Try reducing the gloss factor

[fresh jay]

hey guys what can i do to make the game look AMAZING

[muted sapphire]

That's a completely subjective question. If you don't know what you're doing with Reshade just download Eden's Reshade & replace the default Gamma reshade with it.
#🖇old-mods-posting message

[sour oar]

To be fair hoho Eden's reshade fits a lot of different categories of interest

[fresh jay]

what is possible to do with reshade?

[muted sapphire]

I don't know I just leave it up to people who know what they're doing

[sour oar]

It's all graphical, but you can achieve whatever kind of style you're looking for if you work hard enough

[muted sapphire]

You can press the Home key to open up the Reshade menu & fuck around with the settings, but without knowing what you're doing you're more likely to make it look worse or destroy your framerate than make it look better

[sour oar]

Personally, I went soul-searching for the right reshade for me and nothing really.. clicked, so I went ahead and made my own, tailored to what I wanted

[fresh jay]

im mainly asking because i got a new gpu and want to achieve greatness lol

[mint owl]

Impossible, there is Aggressor

[sour oar]

[muted sapphire]

Anomaly won't push your GPU to it's limits. It'll hit the limits of your CPU far before then

[sour oar]

Some people prefer to just find one they like and use it which is more than ok, this one right here especially cough cough cough

[fresh jay]

i thought avx did something about that tho

[muted sapphire]

AVX is for people with weaker GPUs. It defers some GPU processes to the CPU

[fresh jay]

sorry i mean non avx then

[mint owl]

The more powerful your GPU is, the more you should use normal DX11

[muted sapphire]

Eden is the one to talk to about what is/isn't possible with Reshade though. I don't touch the stuff

[mint owl]

Well, even I should improve some stuff next time I can, namely performances

[sour oar]

Eden 4000fps reshade when?

Comes with a new cpu and everything

[dawn python]

I hear Eden's new reshade will download more ram for your pc

[river flower]

Eden secretly have GAMMA 1.2

And it contains a new reshade that will skyrock your FPS

[mint owl]

Next task : make it 100+ fps in Dead City

[sour oar]

That's a very thing of you to say

[wicked knot]

Anyone got good Shadesettings he can screenshot? Total newbie, played around with it and now i cant even get the default ones back.

[mint owl]

Well, I found a way, you need to press Page Up, I call it Vanilla Reshade xD

[wicked knot]

bruh

[sour oar]

[wicked knot]

There were 5 settings selected, but i cant remember which ones

[sour oar]

Ah

Well Eden wasn't responding to your message so I was a lil confused on where the bruh was coming from, but in any case I'll send the list

[wicked knot]

oh thank you

[sour oar]

in that order

[wicked knot]

thank you very much

[velvet panther]

my 100% use cpu with avx says that is true

💀

[muted sapphire]

Anomaly is also single-threaded, so that doesn't help either. Disabling Core 0 every time you start the game at least gets it off of the most congested CPU core

[velvet panther]

with avx: 100% cpu
without avx: 30%cpu

avx literally took my cpu hostage

[muted sapphire]

The more you know...

[stone storm]

How can I give the game more color?

Like this guy has it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BrhM1r2ojY

[earnest prairie]

what is checkmarked by default for the eden's final reshade?

i accidently clicked something and now i only have 22

[earnest prairie]

ty

[astral kestrel]

looks like it's high saturation settings

you can adjust in basic light settings in game

[night chasm]

Not sure but I asked on the video. If he replies I'll let you know.

[night chasm]

He replied!

[sour oar]

All my homies use Eden’s reshade

[craggy bough]

Launched the vanilla anomaly 1.5.2 and did not experience this behavior, so it must be some mod that is causing this, as the video settings are the same for both gamma and vanilla, so that's not it, unless the mod interacts with them in some form or another. Will continue investigating

[vagrant forum]

If I want to disable reshade I just rename or remove reshade.dll correct?

[sour oar]

Just make a duplicate and disable all effects

Or there should be an option for ‘vanilla’ or so which is different from what GAMMA has, and has nothing enabled

[night chasm]

How many FPS in average does it take from the game?

[vagrant forum]

Make a duplicate of which file?
Edit: sass removed.

[sour oar]

No but it was what you were asking for

Uhh should be GAMMAreshade.dll, or something along those lines. In anomaly/bin folder

Duplicate in the same folder, choose one while in-game and just disable everything

[vagrant forum]

I can't see to find the .dll

[sour oar]

It’s not like Eden optimised his reshade specifically for performance, but that’s still so hard to say. There’s a lot of different factors. I dunno, 20 fps?

[vagrant forum]

I see .ini

[sour oar]

Ah

Yes yes .ini my b

[night chasm]

ish that quite a lot! maybe just for screenshots I guess!

[sour oar]

Not at my pc rn

[sour oar]

Maybe, 20 was just a general guess—personally I don’t use Eden’s reshade but recommend it to everyone lol

Could be 10, could be 30

[night chasm]

do you use the standard Gamma reshade?

[sour oar]

Definitely not something crazy like 40 tho god

[sour oar]

Nah, I use my own

Mine drops 20ish fps for me so I figured the numbers would be generally the same

[night chasm]

Gamma reshade is just like a little bit brighter , right? there is "no change" at all.

[sour oar]

Essentially

[night chasm]

yeah when I turn it off, is just like base game.... but ok 🙂

Whenever you can share a screenshot of your reshade On vs Off ! I would like to see!

[sour oar]

Ooh I’m not at my computer right now

Could send over some pictures I have saved

My reshade isn’t public yet but I don’t mind sharing some photos, not like they are confidential

[night chasm]

whenever you can! I'm just courious!

[vagrant forum]

So hypothetically if I were to install the Eden reshade. In the instructions it says set Gamma to 1. I do not see the gamma option. Any idea where it would be?

[sacred kayak]

Hi Stalkers! wich reshade or config do you recommend for gamma? that is not the default gamma shader

[sour oar]

Settings, I think just the first tab that shows up, press basic light settings

I think you need to be loaded into a save

Maybe?

[vagrant forum]

In main menu > settings > Visual > advanced?

[sour oar]

Sounds right, the layout itself is so foggy to me but I can tell you what’s there and what isn’t lol

Ah

[vagrant forum]

I'm just not seeing it nor the one you note.

[sour oar]

I don’t think it’s under advanced

[vagrant forum]

Oh.

[sour oar]

Basic

If it’s not there, you have to be loaded into a save

[sour oar]

It’ll be under the screen mode

[vagrant forum]

Ah I see the extra note in the readme.

I think the "dummy proof" document needs to make that a bit more clear.

[sour oar]

Hoho was about to let Eden know the readme failed

[vagrant forum]

It should note you need to load a game before changing that setting.

[night chasm]

Gamma is in basic options

[vagrant forum]

(meaning you won't be able to adjust gamma level until you either start a new game or load one).```

[sour oar]

Nah that sounds pretty clear to me

[vagrant forum]

Should be something like

9. Start a new game or load a save. Enter settings > visual > basic > Basic light settings > and set gamma level to 1.```

[sour oar]

I guess he could mention that gamma is under basic light settings

[night chasm]

yes!

[sour oar]

Not even sure if he can change it but hey

[sour oar]

@mint owl Your dummy proof readme wasn’t so proofed after all, one part could be clearer; this part of the readme could mention that the gamma level is found under basic light settings

[vagrant forum]

Sorry. Used to be a QA. Nothing is idiot proof. Only idiot resistant. Because someone, somewhere, will build a better idiot.

[sour oar]

Guess so

[mint owl]

I mean, gamma and brightness sound like basic settings to me xD

But I can't correct that before January

[silent cairn]

I wonder how often when people mean "reshade" they actually mean a complete overhaul of textures, fx, weathers and lighting

[vagrant forum]

They are basic settings. But only accessible while in game.

The note about being in game should be before the note about what to change.

Order of operations and all that.

[silent cairn]

It ain't easy to write a foolproof guide to a system you are so used to drive yourself

[mint owl]

Hmm, fair point

Yeah, I genuinely try to think about everything but there's only so much you can do, that's why I advise to people to read everything

[tidal marlin]

can't spell 'reshade' without REE

[mint owl]

That's not counting people saying "shaders" instead of "Reshade", clearly not the same thing

[mint owl]

@toxic umbra First I need to know what you did from the start

[toxic umbra]

Hi @mint owl I'm trying to install your adaptive reshade, the CFG loads successfully but nothing is in the reshade menu's list. ( sorry about the post on mod only. I'm a bit clumsy on discord.)

[unkempt marten]

people use agressor because its simple and easily accessible. That is the only reason.

[sour oar]

How so? You have to go through the same effort installing Aggressor as any other reshade

[bold obsidian]

Is there a mod that makes the sky more beautifull?

[sour oar]

Eden’s reshade

[shy knoll]

which pack in their reshade 🫦

[sour oar]

Honestly all are good

I’m a Golden Autumn Redux enjoyer and Eden has instructions for that

[shy knoll]

gotcha, i tried autumn harmony, but i didnt see a huge difference

maybe i fucked it up though lmfao

[sour oar]

That doesn’t sound promising no

[shy knoll]

LOL

is there a link to the in game images for their reshades?

[sour oar]

Uhhh

Let me check

I don’t see any no

You might have luck filtering his texts in #╟📸screenshots though

@mint owl You got any link that can refer to screenshots taken with your new reshade?

[twilit sun]

how do i get some bloom in game

[sour oar]

Depends

What kind of bloom do you want?

[twilit sun]

jus something that would make the game look prettier

like

not too extravagant

[dawn python]

i dropped a bunch of screenshots w/ default dead zone look + eden's reshades in #╟📸screenshots

e.g. #╟📸screenshots message

or look at Madirex's shots there, I think he's using Eden's reshades + default summer look #╟📸screenshots message

[fresh jay]

where can i see what the default shaders are? like the ones on first install.

[twilit sun]

How do i get it tho

i cant find it anywhere

#🖇old-mods-posting message

what is the default summer look?

hope this isnt a painfully obvious question haha

[dawn python]

it's in #custom-textures but basically "turn off the dead-looking textures" and everything is green again

[dawn python]

you mean the actual reshade? it's in #🖇old-mods-posting #🖇old-mods-posting message

[shy knoll]

Thanks! would you happen to know which of Eden's reshades they are using?

[dawn python]

the final one

[open ivy]

only one

[open ivy]

dis one

[shy knoll]

thank you both!

[open ivy]

i reccomend golden autumn (includes weathers) + eden reshade

if you are lacking a bit on FPS dm me, i have a scuffed modified eden reshade preset that gives a bit more fps

[shy knoll]

so quick question as i am newer to how this works, but i thought eden's reshade included things like golden autumn, or are they separate?

[trail basin]

separate

[open ivy]

its included in the post, but theres some links to the separate download

so the post comprises of steps you need to take to install golden autumn foliage + edens reshade on top which looks g with pretty much any tex pack

[shy knoll]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i see i see

okay that makes sense, thanks!!

[steady marsh]

What is everyone's personal preference to use with Edens Reshade? Base gamma, autumn harmony, melting winters, golden autumn, or autumn season redux?

[open ivy]

golden autumn for me + lil bit less saturation 0.9 is best setup

followed by second pref which is summer to autumn foliage from EFP discord + default gamma without dead zone stuff + golden autumn weathers

but golden autumn does mostly that anyway and runs better

[mint owl]

Well, about that...

[mint owl]

Just as NightCatOof said, it's just as simple as any other reshade, except it's on Moddb

[sour oar]

Maybe the dummies were the friends we made along the way

[mint owl]

Well, about 11000km away from home xD

[mint owl]

True reshades ain't need any screenshots xD

[sour oar]

Eden is relying on word of mouth for proof

[astral kestrel]

[mint owl]

So far it's working great xD

[mint owl]

You could say that xD

To be fair it's a kind of "I'm here and I mean business" vacation

[eager glen]

Hey folks, when i hit home button and reshade menu comes up, what settings are supposed to be checked by default?

I was playing around with settings to get better fps but now my game looks bad, so i want the shaders back haha

[sour oar]

In that order

[eager glen]

ty sir!

[eager glen]

🙌

[mint owl]

Personnal preference would be my Reshade + Golden Autumn Redux honestly, but if you want less colorful, more dead, Autumn Season Redux, if you want a more browner look with lush brown autumn trees, then pick Autumn Harmony

Melting Winters is exclusive and fits my vision of winter, for this one, use the winter variant of my reshade

And finally you can simply use it with GAMMA as it is

[eager glen]

cool man, im new to shaders, is this already in the gamma mod pack?

[open ivy]

#🖇old-mods-posting message

thanks! Just dont know where to go download this

No problem ^^

[ashen oar]

which reshade do you guys recoomend?

[eager glen]

Thanks! this is clear. I'm on step 6, but i cant find the mod listing in my MO2 window. Have i missed something?

[mint owl]

What does the step says ?

[mint owl]

Depends on what you're looking for

[eager glen]

"Put Autumn Harmony JUST ABOVE the G.A.M.M.A. Disabled separator in MO2"

[eager glen]

so when i try searching for the shader, it doesn't show

[ashen oar]

i tried to use aggressor reshade but it didnt apply well..

[ashen oar]

idk something to change the weird default gamma reshade

[eager glen]

up until this step, i have followed the readme to a Tee

[mint owl]

I think you misunderstood a few lines, the Reshade should not appear in MO2, and if you have downloaded Autumn Harmony, you have to add the mod in your load order

[mint owl]

You could try mine, it's linked a bit above your message

[ashen oar]

which link? i see many links in this chat

[mint owl]

#🖇old-mods-posting message

can you pass it again please 🙂

[eager glen]

Oh hrm maybe you're right. I was assuming that I had to move the mod in this window:

[mint owl]

Here you go, the one I just posted above

[mint owl]

You have to open the categories, at least the last ones, put Autumn Harmony there

[ashen oar]

but how i download it? i only see the explanation but no link to get it... maybe im blind lmao

[mint owl]

It's all in there, link for the Reshade is in the introduction

And all links you could potentially need are in there as well

Look for the MEGA links

[eager glen]

Thanks for responding! Guess I just want to make sure I know where to get the Autumn Harmony files to put in MO2. It's not showing on my mod order (which you said it shouldn't)

appreciate the help, this is my second modded ever lol

[mint owl]

You need to delete whatever is in the search bar until you can see all your GAMMA mods again, then you should be able to show what's in each category

[eager glen]

Ah I found out why! When I was moving files it would fail to move the 2 ini files over. I solved the problem I think

[eager glen]

Oh yea that was just me showing its not in mo2 😆

[mint owl]

That's the four first steps though

The only new thing you should have in MO2 is Autumn Harmony

[eager glen]

Yea problem solved, thanks. It was just because my computer didnt like the 2 ini files, so it only put the texture folder in

[ashen oar]

when im disabling some mods from mo2. I odnt understand the step about "Put Autumn Harmony JUST ABOVE the G.A.M.M.A. Disabled separator in MO2"

i have to download that mod?

[eager glen]

brooo we just talked about this here, see if it helps you lol ^^

[mint owl]

Depends

Which option do you want ?

There's a set of instructions for each textures pack, if you want Autumn Harmony then download it and follow the instructions for it, but if you want something like Golden Autumn, ignore the section and go the Golden Autumn Redux instructions

I won't be much present due to low battery but should you need help, please ping the shit out of @sour oar

[sour oar]

Beheaded and thrown under the bus

[mint owl]

xD

You're the chosen one x)

[ashen oar]

what if i dont choose any of the two options?

[mint owl]

Then refer to the last section, for using with GAMMA's default look

There's five options : Autumn Harmony, Melting Winters, Golden Autumn Redux, Autumn Season Redux, and GAMMA's default dead look

Just follow the first four steps in the introduction (for everyone) then follow the instructions under the option you want

Simple as that

[muted sapphire]

This is what I did. Can confirm: it is simple & easy

[ashen oar]

ahhhh ok letme read the steps again 🙂

[mint owl]

My beloved

[mint owl]

Best is to read everything, that's really made to avoid any question actually

[muted sapphire]

Honestly my only feedback for the whole process would be to edit your post with a big DOWNLOAD LINKS ARE IN THE README up at the top. Lotta people I link it to ask where to actually download it

[mint owl]

True, will do right now

Done

I have to go now, won't be able to answer anyone for a few hours

[open ivy]

rip our reshade lord and saviour

[swift robin]

not sure if this is the place to ask, but is there a way to completely remove reshade from the pack? it lags my pc everytime I load a save or do something that causes it to compile or load the shaders or something

[mild dome]

Setting it to performance mode helps a bit as does making it only load active shaders

But to uninstall it you can download the reshade setup from its site, point it at the anomaly exe and hit uninstall

[swift robin]

cool, thanks a lot, I'll go try that 🙂

the installer from the website worked perfectly, thanks again 😄

[eager glen]

@sour oar hey man, pinging you cause eden said to lol

I can't find the brighter HUG option as specified here. Do you have an idea why it's not in the folder?

Here is what I see, there is no optional folder!

This is for the autumn harmony mod, if anyone else is familiar!

[sour oar]

No clue

Ok well you’re most likely just missing files

[eager glen]

err is there a place i can get the ones im missing? I think im missing some scripts too

[misty vale]

Couple shots using Melting Winter and Eden's Reshade. I'm not running everything full blast but I'm pretty happy with the visuals. Very cool to be in the Zone with such a change in atmosphere.

[reef tundra]

anyone have any good shade recomedations for downloads for a high end pc?

[open ivy]

see pinned post in mods only posting

[spice plume]

figured id ask in here, is it worth playing this game above 1080p? i usually run everyone on 2k res

also reshade seems to fuck up my downscaling allot, wondering if turning off agressor reshade is worth it

[reef tundra]

thanks man!

[open ivy]

huh, why not run 1440p if you have it, cuz then u dont have to run as much AA which is more intensive

[mint owl]

I think that's a mistake on my side, I recall using the brighter HUD by default anyway

[faint shale]

where can i find re-shades for gamma please

[undone stump]

hi Eden, can you give the link for Golden Autumn installation tutorial ?

[proud cloud]

Shader based scopes benefits from it, the scopes are clearer (depending on your scope factor setting) if you're downscaling

[raven meadow]

any graphical mod that works on DX10? I tried Autumn harmony but it crashes

[mint owl]

Hi, here you go #🖇old-mods-posting message

[mint owl]

What does your crash log says ?

[raven meadow]

when i load my "save file" the game just crashes without any error, just closes completely, also where is the crash log file

[mint owl]

!crash

[void depot]

Send your crash log where it was asked, not inside the #🤖bot-commands if you're here right now.
It's inside your Anomaly folder, this is the complete path: Anomaly/appdata/logs.
This is what you could find:

1. xray_yournamehere.txt
2. xray_yournamehere.log
3. xray_yournamehere

You just need to send this file where it was asked, drag and drop inside the Discord channel, Discord will handle it for you.
Make sure you're not using any extra mods.

[mint owl]

I'm on mobile, not sure I can see, can you copy the last 10 lines ?

[raven meadow]

sure

last lines are "loaded"

[mint owl]

Just the word "loaded" ?

[mint owl]

You're at the end of the readme literally ?

[raven meadow]

yes

give me a second i will rerun the game to get the crash again, brb

also what graphic mod do you suggest? cuz it looks way too orange the harmony one

[muted sapphire]

Default Gamma works just fine

@mint owl

[mint owl]

Can you try opening MO2, right click Autumn Harmony, informations, then navigate to textures and tell me what folders are there

[raven meadow]

clarification: i tried to run on dx11 and worked perfectly but my fps were bad so i prefer dx10, also i will right now

you mean those?

[mint owl]

Yes, what's in textures ?

[mint owl]

Can you right click intro, then hide (if it fails, just close the filetree and try again)

Then tell me what's in ui

[raven meadow]

ok launching the game, i hide intro, let's see

yup insta crash

[mint owl]

Yeah normal

I wasn't done

Hence why I said : tell me what's in ui xD

[raven meadow]

XD sorry :p i thought it was do and test haha

[mint owl]

Just hide ui_actor_loadgame_screen.dds

Then delete shader cache and try again

[raven meadow]

oh btw if i wanna use the gamma health system what do i remove them the autumn mod?

ui i mean

[mint owl]

Oh, just hide everything in ui except "ui_global_map.dds/thm"

[raven meadow]

also crash again

[mint owl]

Log ?

What does it say this time ?

And the file is hidden right ?

[raven meadow]

it was unhidden for some reason even tho i hid it

let me try

[mint owl]

At worse, just delete it

[raven meadow]

aight

ok now launches

😮‍💨

[mint owl]

Since I've never touched DX10, best I can do is follow crash log

[raven meadow]

also what is ur go graphical mod now ?

[raven meadow]

yeah wish i had better pc to run smoothly dx11

[mint owl]

Either Autumn Harmony or Golden Autumn Redux with my own Reshade

Maybe if you lower some settings ?

What's your card ?

[raven meadow]

since i couldn't find any kind of preview, how's the golden autumn different ?

also i get more fps on higher settings than lower XD old game engine, also 1050ti

[mint owl]

Golden Autumn have some nice color variations

Have you tried normal DX11 ?

Not AVX

[raven meadow]

yes

[mint owl]

Hmm

[raven meadow]

I already run the game at 50-70fps depends the location

and dx11 is like minues 6-10 fps depends

[mint owl]

You can get an RTX 4090 for less than 100$

All you need is something to hide your face and a fake gun

[raven meadow]

then i will need to upgrade, mobo, cpu, ram as well (not to mention PSU)

XDDDDDDDDDDDD

[mint owl]

Well, if DX10 works well for you that's a win

[raven meadow]

it's okay, not great but okay, game is unoptimized + 10000000000 mods loaded what do you expect

[mint owl]

Just keep in mind you're in unknown waters right now from my perspective

Meaning it won't look as intended nor will I possibly know the answer should a problem arise

Your crash log will be your best friend

[raven meadow]

aight man, thanks a lot, imma suck ur cock now, also i would like to go into graphical modding if u willing to showcase sometime or something if not it's okay 😛

[mint owl]

What if I'm a girl though ? xD

Well, to be fair I don't know much except what I learned from trial and error x) Also I won't be available on my pc before a few months

[raven meadow]

then i'll suck ur booba hahaha yeah i mean some recolor stuff etc. nothing crazy like change grass blah blah blah

[mint owl]

Fair enough xD

Well, can't help much but you will need to know more about dds format (dxt3 & dxt5, linear, bicubique, bilinear, mipmaps, and of course, a program like Paint.net, Photoshop etc)

Careful though, that game is awfully picky

[raven meadow]

i have basic knowledge on photoshop about dds....wellllllll

[mint owl]

It can destroy your grass distance rendering with a wrong format, or outright crash your game

Just because it can

[raven meadow]

[mint owl]

[raven meadow]

time to mess around with random reshade shaders to see what it looks better in my eyes

[mint owl]

Try spamming @sour oar, he's been through the suffering

[raven meadow]

damn

[mint owl]

Reshade is a learning curve as well as a eye-destroyer, but incredibly rewarding imo

[raven meadow]

[mint owl]

Spoiler: over bloom does not equal beauty

[raven meadow]

ik xd

dude literally sells reshade preset -_-

[mint owl]

Ah yes, even though you can find it for free online should you try a bit

But another spoiler : not worth it for Stalker

[raven meadow]

i know, i get preset and then i am messing around with it

i am trying to find for EFT atm because similar vibes/colors

[mint owl]

Or you can do it the Chad way

Start from scratch

(Got to sleep now, goodnight and good luck)

[silent cairn]

One of the big fps eaters in autumn harmony is the fx mod it comes with (in anomaly-heavy areas)

They do be pretty though

[raven meadow]

xddd crashed lmao

log is empty boohoo

[eager glen]

I did notice the body part health specifically kind of dark sometimes and blends in. Please let me know if there is a way to brighten it 🙂

[raven meadow]

now this is a good shader

[undone stump]

thanks a lot mister

[undone stump]

i'm successfully installed Golden Autumn redux, but why the main menu change to EFP (other big modpack) LOLL !

@mint owl does it needs a new save ?

[spice plume]

I’m just getting horrible performance at times, it’s rough

[spice plume]

Ya I just wanted to check, my performance is rough in certain areas, also wanted to see what I could do to make it look better when I stream. Things get a bit blurry LOL

[vague island]

hey guys im trying to download Autumn Harmony from mega but the download speed is so slow, is there something I can do to speed this up?

[undone stump]

golden autumn is insane, not only make the game looked like modern game, but also fix my fps

[tender adder]

I prefer Melting Winters personally

[wet violet]

His regrade shader is actually good

[tender adder]

Loved the entire aesthetic for Metro

[wet violet]

I was messing with RTGI for a bit, that shit is quite impressive. I don't want to take the fps hit though

[vague island]

can you show a screenshot

if you wouldnt mind

im tryng out autumn

[vale flume]

Does anyone have screenshots of Autumn Harmony?

[vague island]

this show it looks like on my game without reshade

[vale flume]

Do you have screenshots of other areas by chance? Swamp usually looks pretty dead tbh

[vague island]

not really im new

I like it tho

do you guys know what this does cfg_load grading_vanilla and how to revert it

it looks pretty nice imo

[shy knoll]

screenshots??

[steady marsh]

When installing golden autumn redux you werw only supposed to clock the first box, not the second one that said mcm main menu thingy lmao

you can reinstall it and just select the first box to get rid of it

[earnest prairie]

when using Eden's Final reshade

is it normal to only have 13-15% cpu usage

but 99% gpu

im using dx11 and have a rx 5700xt gpu and r7 3700x cpu

[opaque spade]

Are you using dx11 w/ avx?
Cos avx helps with that

[earnest prairie]

lemme try

im also using the disable core 0 thing

[opaque spade]

Avx takes some load off the GPU and puts it on the CPU

Dunno what that does but go for it

[steady marsh]

i mean if your fps is fine id keep it at dx 11

[earnest prairie]

still getting 30 fps

and same cpu and gpu usage

[opaque spade]

Huh

Odk

[earnest prairie]

im gonna try turning back on the deadzone stuff

[opaque spade]

Wait

Where do you turn them off

I need to know bcos I don't want deadzone

[earnest prairie]

didn't help

!deadzone

[void depot]

How to bring back the default look for the Zone: #╭📖faq message

[earnest prairie]

even with the default gamma reshade im only getting 5 fps more

[steady marsh]

if you dont want the "dead" look of default gamma then use one of the texture packs, golden autumn is my personal preference

[vague island]

can you provide a screenshot of your game if you dont mind
