╟🎑reshades

[versed night]

Off

On

I moved a bit, here's another off to make the same spot as on

[glossy pond]

I guess it may make colors more vibrant than you meant them to be on my end

I wonder how much difference it’ll make once I turn it off, I’m so used to a vibrant monitor now

[versed night]

So even in rostok, it's about a 4-5 fps loss.

[manic sage]

its a very slight difference in visuals

I might experiment with it later

[versed night]

Here's this

yeah it doesn't add a TON. And it's Screenspace, so it only works on what you can see, so some stuff that hits the edge of ya screen gonna look weird, i find myself turning it off and on at time.

[manic sage]

Stalker in general is weird at the edges of the screen anyway

[sour oar]

Yea

[mint owl]

Quite probably, colors are very deep on my side

[versed night]

@sour oar in your recent mods posting, what mods are you using for your landscape? I wanna go green

[sour oar]

I’m using Golden Autumn Redux, if that’s what you mean

[mint owl]

If you want more green, use the Summer pack from the same author

[versed night]

ill try em all out, whatever stops the dead trees lmao

Is there an easy way to switch between reshades?

[manic sage]

download the ini for each reshade

then switch between them from the drop down box

[versed night]

oh ok, so i can just have them all in there and switch between in game?

what is project inverno, that's the snow right?

[sour oar]

One of the snow ones yea

There’s also I think graupel and one more

[versed night]

what about the reshade-shaders folder each of you have for your shaders? I don't need to change those when switching between them?

[sour oar]

Nah, you can even merge them

Don’t quote me on that but quote me on that

[mint owl]

You don't because you'd have the same collection of effects

Just be wary of potential duplicates

[mint owl]

Snow options at the moments are:

• Yet Another Winter Mod (YAWM)
• Project Inverno
• Graupel
• Melting Winters

[versed night]

that's alot.

Real Q, which one is better

[mint owl]

YAWM is kinda outdated though

[versed night]

i'm gonna switch to a snow one when there's actual snow on the ground here

[mint owl]

Project Inverno uses some of Graupel textures

Graupel is great

And Melting Winters is mine

Mixing all three above and fitting my own vision

[versed night]

I'm kind of blind. But when i switch between CS Eden's, Nightcat's and Hippo's reshade, i can't tell a different, not even my fps can tell the difference

[sour oar]

How so

Plus I could be wrong but I don’t think Hippo’s is built for Golden Autumn Redux but mine is built specifically for it

[versed night]

Hippo>night>eden I'm gonna have to look at them this way, idk i just can't tell when i switch between them live, i need side by sides.

lmao they are WAY different. My brain just works different alright

[sour oar]

There’s definitely a difference, I can tell even on a phone, but it’s surprisingly slight

[versed night]

yeah switching between the pics faster i can tell way better then between the loading of them live in game

[sour oar]

It should probably be more noticeable

[versed night]

for 98% of other people using them there probably is.

lmao i physically cannot use the tier 1 and 2 NVG's because of the green

[sour oar]

Lol

Turning down the brightness on then might help

[silent cairn]

Is there another color you'd rather have for them? I can change the colors for you

[versed night]

would a white/grey work? It would be more like thermal without the thermal but that would probably be the easiest on my eyes

like this

[versed night]

also after flipping through them a few times they seem to load faster in game now? But i'm kinda feeling yours, it has like a washed out color, gives off a feel that the deadzone gave but all the trees aren't dead @sour oar

[glossy pond]

@silent cairn can you lmk when you update your SSS tweaks

[sour oar]

Thanks, that’s nice to hear :)

[versed night]

One day i may compete with you guys in reshading once i learn more of it. I messed with way to much enb with skyrim

[silent cairn]

@versed night You need to delete your shader cache this to work

[silent cairn]

Soon you'll have a sweet screen to calibrate it on, too

[versed night]

this effects all tiers of them?

[silent cairn]

Yeah

[versed night]

Flashbanged myself, idk why i tried them during the day LOL

[silent cairn]

If the lowest brightness setting is still too bright you'll need to adjust it from the Mod Configuration menu

[versed night]

[sour oar]

[silent cairn]

Oh gosh I've seen this before

[versed night]

red forest babey

[sour oar]

First for me

It’s 1am so I’ve ought to get to bed but ping me with at least something about what this is please

[silent cairn]

Just an anomaly in the zone

[versed night]

here's another one for ya

[sour oar]

This cracks my brain

Right in two

[potent mason]

The deadliest of anomalies

https://tenor.com/view/paint-grass-lawncare-paint-gif-10794327

Some cheeki breeki out here painting the grass

[sour oar]

Lmao he’s drawing out the traffic lines

[versed night]

thank you so much for this btw, it's so much better. I'll have to try out the first two tiers later, the blue wasn't too bad on the oracles but this is way better

[mint owl]

Please don't hesitate to do more of these, I find it quite interesting to see

[versed night]

25 cents a screenshot

[mint owl]

Scam xD

[versed night]

oh no, SSRTGI causes a double image with bino's

only with invert depth z not checked

[calm path]

Hej how did you get rid of the ammo icon on the mags?? I find it enoying

[outer bolt]

MCM menu>Magazines, there are 3 tabs there, it's somewhere in there.

[calm path]

ooh ok cool

[pulsar tiger]

so which reshade is easier to install?

eden's says i need to put gamma to 1 and that i cant change it once i install the reshade or whatever

but maybe gamma 1 will be too dark so i cant be sure if i want it

[silent cairn]

You can change gamma all you want, don't worry

[pulsar tiger]

which reshade kinda gets rid of the gray tint that gamma has?

i put color saturation to 1.4 but even that isnt enough really

[silent cairn]

I think most of them strives to at least remove that

[pulsar tiger]

kk thanks

also the pinned reshade installation is kinda confusing me because isnt reshade already integrated into GAMMA?

i press the home button and the reshade menu opens up with some effects

maybe its an outdated guide

[silent cairn]

Yep, gamma comes with reshade all set up

[pulsar tiger]

thank you

[mint owl]

Gamma level can be changed ingame, I say 1 but really people are autonomous enough to know if they prefer 1.1 or 1.2

But mine gets rids of that gray tint you spoke about

[pulsar tiger]

I downloaded hippo's and it looks really good but due to the volumetric fog, the tint still looks like it's kinda there

Although that's maybe because I'm currently in the Great swamps and because the sky is always cloudy

Nvm the tint is almost completely gone its just that it was evening in game and I'm stupid

[naive linden]

Hippos looks

[pulsar tiger]

Ywah it's really good

[swift robin]

Do I have to reinstall gamma to install reshades?

[dry ravine]

Was trying to troubleshoot my frames and I unchecked the reshade options from the in-game HOME key menu. Grass density made a massive difference and I want to reenable some of the default reshade options to see what kind of hit it is to my performance.

Anyone know what was enabled by default?

[dry ravine]

Thank you!

[mint owl]

No need to

[keen flume]

Helloo everyone 🙂 any tips on how to get best performance/quality? I realized that the lightning settings affect performance a lot, so any tips?

[dry ravine]

Grass settings made a massive difference for me.
Got pretty constant 50-70fps on all default options just playing around when I first launched. Zeroed out grass density and I'm all of a sudden at my capped 144fps.

I'll tool around with it since I do like the grass overall but I wasn't expecting it to make such a jump.

[swift robin]

Still very WIP but i am happy about how it looks so far

[swift robin]

Can you dm those to me?

Nope not atm

Still WIP

[manic sage]

just released an experimental preset, to tweak the color balance and shadows

[rough belfry]

Hey can I turn on aggressor reshape or do I need to turn some things off to do so?

[glossy pond]

Can you link me your reshade pls

[manic sage]

[idle ocean]

why does my game look so bad? Can someone send his settings?

[flat phoenix]

your color saturation looks turned way the fuck up

[pulsar tiger]

i have mine at 1.4 cuz anything below that looks a little gray for me

but yeah 2.0 is wayyyy too much color saturation

[idle ocean]

And can you use shaders with gamma? I saw a guy who's game looked awesome

[pulsar tiger]

you mean reshade?

There is Ethan's, Hippo's, Nightcat's etc

currently using Hippo's and i love it

[idle ocean]

How do u use it?

I downliaded iz

[pulsar tiger]

did u download a reshade preset?

or reshade itself?

[cloud island]

Reset gamma settings to default

[pulsar tiger]

GAMMA already has reshade integrated into it so you dont need to download it from the official website

or that

[idle ocean]

Ok

[idle ocean]

Can u send pic what i have to turn on?

[flat phoenix]

press home key ingame

that opens the reshade menu thats where you turn on effects and stuff and there's presets that you can put in your folder and load directly basically load a bunch of effects that people put together all at once

[pulsar tiger]

if you want a certain reshade preset that other people have configured to suit the game (like those three i mentioned), go to mods-posting and then if you want hippo's click on that

download his file and there is a readme file with instructions

[vivid meadow]

Hello guys. I am trying to understand some things about reshades. Right now in the game when i press home key i get the options list for reshade. And in the Mod Organizer i only see Agressor as a different reshade option. What is the different between enabling agressor or not exactly? Also are there any other reshade options besides agressor? tyvm

[pulsar tiger]

i think the aggressor reshade in MO2 only replaces weather and textures

GAMMA reshade is still used if you enable it

[vivid meadow]

oo soo all the reshades you can download are just profiles for the already existing thing that opens with the home key?

[pulsar tiger]

the existing thing that opens with the home key is the reshade menu

depending on which shaders were installed, the corresponding effects will show up

Grok already put some shaders in there

but if you want other shaders, use some reshade presets from this chat

[vivid meadow]

aah i see. so its both a profile and potentially more effects. thanks! 😄

what is the most used by people that download custom reshades if you dont mind me asking?

[pulsar tiger]

Well theyre all fairly new

There's Eden's that isnt as new as the other two im about to mention

Then there is Nightcat's

Hippo's

and some others if you scroll way up

Im currently using Hippo's but you can use whatever you want

[vivid meadow]

oo i saw that in the #1035807043933720576 channel. thx ill take a look at that! 🙂

[cloud island]

Do this.

!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

[idle ocean]

What button is that

[pulsar tiger]

the button above TAB

[cloud island]

Square

[pulsar tiger]

and to the left of 1

[cloud island]

Power 2 or tilde depending on your keyboard

Next to 1

[hardy flame]

`

[pulsar tiger]

yo the ` key is gone

[silent cairn]

[swift robin]

margilla doesn't have tilde

[idle ocean]

[pulsar tiger]

is that a motospeed keyboard?

[idle ocean]

Nah, this a blitzwolf

[pulsar tiger]

oh

[idle ocean]

Love it tho

No hate

[pulsar tiger]

it looks nice

it uses the exact same keys that mine uses

same fonts

[idle ocean]

Has strong springs, looks minimalistic awesome

[swift robin]

can you rebind the console key anomaly tho

[pulsar tiger]

let me check

yes you can

just go to "Control" and scroll down and youll see it

@idle ocean this is for u too

[swift robin]

i was asking for him

[pulsar tiger]

oh

[idle ocean]

Almost done

[glossy pond]

can someone send me their nvidia geforce experience settings? i just reset mine but this doesnt seem right for default

maybe just so used to my custom setting

[idle ocean]

I changed things at the beginning cause the game was runningslow, but noticed that anomaly looked better and ran faster

[wet shale]

The water reflection doesn't apply on the sides of the screen.
It's from SSS, but i can't find the options for it ingame

[swift robin]

Because it is SSR

If there is nothing on that side of the screen there isn't much to reflect

[wet shale]

then SSRs will always look bad, right?

[swift robin]

No

It reflects what is on screen to put it simply

[wet shale]

Well maybe on some cases it works, but not here

[rough belfry]

In order to turn on aggressor reshade do I need to turn anything off ? Anyone know ?

And can I load it onto an existing save

[leaden linden]

Mmm... Runs better because Anomaly don't have 300+ mods active at the same time. Textures, particles, new models, animations... If you can't run Anomaly with good fps... You will have troubles running GAMMA, that's for sure

[leaden linden]

There's no reshade in the Aggresor Folder included in GAMMA, you need to download Agressor pack directly from moddb

[rough belfry]

Just seen a tab in visuals that was off labeled as aggressor thought it was the pack , thanks for information

[rough belfry]

💀 your stalker took some shrooms

[hardy flame]

did u find it? did you try fn + esc?

[runic grotto]

Guys anyway to make EXPEDITION GRAPHICS ONLY work with GAMMA?

It keeps crashing on load

[timid axle]

hey guys, whats the most popular reshade/redux? I want to make my game look as good as possible

[covert linden]

hi guys , so whenever i play gamma , my pc goes loud , any fix for that ? what should i turn off ? my pc is pretty decent but for gamma it just seems to be loud

[manic sage]

Do you want vibrant or dead looking or balanced?

[swift robin]

#old-framerate-optimisation

[runic grotto]

@swift robin Ty I will check it out

[timid axle]

balanced I think

[manic sage]

Try CS Eden's reshade first, if you have performance issues then you could try my reshade if you need more fps. For vibrant reshades try Nightcat's vibrant reshade.

[runic grotto]

Guys how to delete the reshader for GAMMA?

[manic sage]

If you're deleting because of the fps hit, then there is no need. Just configure the reshade to disable all of its effects via a hotkey. I have mine set to page_up

[glossy pond]

@mint owl how did you learn reshade and graphical stuff? i want to tailor some presets to my own taste

[versed night]

What do i have to do to turn down the "cold" look for your reshade, i've been using cat's for a bit and when i shift over to yours, everything looks frozen lmao

[manic sage]

which preset version are you using?

[versed night]

Oh you have multiple?

i just have one called hippo_preset

[manic sage]

I updated an hour or two ago

[versed night]

oo

not that one

[manic sage]

#1036172060969410590 message

[versed night]

downloaded yesterday

[manic sage]

two versions now

check the readme and such, some things have changed

[versed night]

ill go try it

got my monitor 1 day early, i'm so excited to lose half my frames playing at 1440 LOL

[manic sage]

lol good thing my reshade is performance friendly

Guess which one is CS eden's and which one is mine, there is a clue here

[versed night]

LMAO

[manic sage]

@versed night

[versed night]

I can't use SSRTGI anymore

i lose more than 10fps now

[manic sage]

lol how come?

[versed night]

has a much higher hit on 1440

30fps rn in red forest

[manic sage]

oof good thing I havent tried it yet

[manic sage]

lol why are your trees blue?

[versed night]

oh fuck i hit alt f4 instead of alt f3 LOL

that's your reshade, color corrected

just put it in

[manic sage]

huh???????

[versed night]

[manic sage]

try CS edens for me real quick

[versed night]

k lemme relaunch. i really need to change the nvidia filter hotkey

i've done this 4 times now

[manic sage]

lol

[versed night]

im too excited with this monitor, from 24in to 32in, it's taking my whole desk, i had to shove my little monitor behind this one and not even use it for now

ok here's yours with color corrected.

oh why didn't my pic upload

[manic sage]

this is in redforest right now on my screen

no blue trees

[versed night]

ok here. Color corrected.

[manic sage]

something funky is going on, are you on vanilla gamma?

[versed night]

First version

Edens

[manic sage]

so you have blue even on edens

safe to say there might be something on with your setup

CS eden's is very accurate for me

especially when compared to the default gamma reshade or no reshade at all

[versed night]

So actually, all that was with SSRTGI on.

Lemme put them all again without it on

[manic sage]

Lol

[versed night]

Color corrected.

[manic sage]

something is still going on

[versed night]

First version

[manic sage]

I see that is slightly less blue but the trees shouldnt be that blue

[versed night]

Eden

[manic sage]

should be like this

[versed night]

hmm

wait did my color grading get fucked? what's the console command for that grading thing

[manic sage]

"cfg_load grading_vanilla"

[versed night]

color corrected

after entering vanilla grading

[manic sage]

Are you running additional mods such as textures, weathers, etc?

[versed night]

Golden autum redux

[manic sage]

Idk if that does anything for it but my reshade is meant for vanilla BUT if you are having issues even with CS Edens then it is definately not autumn redux as the culprit

[versed night]

Actually there was 1 thing i noticed, when i saved in this location i died, when i reloaded everything was super bright, not even the right weather or something after i loaded and it's been like this

Let me try an older save

[manic sage]

Try creating a dummy save with monolith in red forest.

[versed night]

a what?

ok here we go

loaded the autosave from when i first entered the forest

after save/reload in here it did something to the weather or something

[manic sage]

looks better

[versed night]

actually now this is back to normal, your color correct is off for me

this is the other version

Look better, no washed out filter it looks like

[manic sage]

Very nice, I made two presets for people with different monitor calibrations that aren't set at the 6500k temp

hopefully it works out for you from here

[versed night]

Wtf happened to my weather though in my latest save, i know sometimes saving and reloading changed up the weather or the sky or something, idk what, but that's TOO much

[manic sage]

try traveling to another zone and back

see if that resets it for you

[versed night]

once i kill the 18 monolit and sin attacking me

man when they team up, it's impossible with sins buff

Also gonna do another comparison but this time, @ 1440p :D

[manic sage]

Sweet! I'll look forward to it

[versed night]

FPS:
Hippo = 55
NightCat = 51
Eden = 48

[manic sage]

You'll also notice more of an fps difference during bright scenes

[versed night]

Oh hippo, can you add the PPFX SSDO to your original version? I don't see it at the top like the corrected one is

[manic sage]

I can really quickly

one second

[versed night]

what did i do? I have no hands, no gun no inventory no pda, but i can still use it all but none of it shows up?

it's not busy hands cause i can still do everything, it's just like everythingdisappeared

ngl, i'm liking Hippo's more than Edens rn.

[sour oar]

Why does mine look the most yellow when it should be at least just as blue

[versed night]

idk maan

[sour oar]

I have no clue either cause I haven't done a side by side comparison but

[versed night]

maybe this monitors icc/windows color settings are off, i only just plugged and played the new one i got early

[sour oar]

Idk maybe I've just been starting at my screen too long

[versed night]

lul

[sour oar]

Now everything looks different for me

Than what everyone else sees lol

[versed night]

That's why i said yours has that dead zone look, it looks.. radiated i guess you could say, a bit of a yellow tint

[sour oar]

Yeye I still think it looks nice

[versed night]

it does, it definitely fits the zone

maybe tone back on the tint a tiny bit? Idk what setting it is as i'm still learning what each option does, there's so damn many

[sour oar]

That's what I was confused on

Because the tint shouldn't be that heavy, or at least from what I tested

I'll go back through and see if I can reduce it even more

[versed night]

what option is it? I'll mess with it a bit

Also, when i get an icc profile profile and it changes the color settings and shit, that applies to the game where you guys can see it through screenshots right? Or does it just affect my monitor for what i see?

[sour oar]

shadowsmidtoneshighlights, for me. I changed the shadow colour to basically create the tint

If you're going to just play around with the tint I wouldn't change any other setting under that effect

This might come as a shocker

[versed night]

im gonna try to kill these monolit tho on my latest save and fix this that's happening to my red forest

[sour oar]

But the shadowsmidtoneshighlights effect determines the shadows, midtones and highlights

[versed night]

wait i broke my game hello?

im holding my gun but it doesnt show

i can still shoot and everything too

[dire shuttle]

Does anyone have some nice looking reshade settings I could copy? I'm looking for something more vibrant than the stock settings. A bit more like EFT perhaps

[versed night]

#╟🎑reshades message Check these out.

[dire shuttle]

Thanks!

[versed night]

Edens has the highest fps hit, looks great though - only about 5fps max taken away (depending on the current scene)

Cat's is more tuned to used with Golden Autumn

and Hippo's looks almost as good as Eden without the big fps hit

[sour oar]

I don't know how well it would look on vanilla stuff, since I built it with Golden Autumn Redux in mind

[manic sage]

@versed night uploading new version right now. I have some experimental stuff for you to try aside from the PPFX SSDO

[manic sage]

I think its his monitor calibration that might be slightly off no idea

[versed night]

sweet, gotta fix my game though, idk what i did but in the midst of messing with reshade i lost my arms on all saves

[versed night]

gonna check on this here in a minute as well, will update with new SS after

[manic sage]

sounds good!

[sour oar]

[manic sage]

These 4 new disabled effects I'm experimenting with, they do incur a heavy fps cost though. Messing around with them for eye candy purposes and the levels effect has been disabled now to match the color correct version as its been replaced by shadows midtone. The reason for this is because shadows midtone offers more control than the levels effect but does the same thing.

If you end up wanting the old levels effect for whatever reason then just disable shadows midtone and enable the levels effect

I~~ dont see why you would need to~~

@versed night

[versed night]

[manic sage]

I take back what I said about the levels effect, just reverted it.

[versed night]

ok, i calibrated monitor, i wish i could show this how i see it

even when i look at this image it just doesn't look the same

[manic sage]

this is with the original preset?

[versed night]

yes

[manic sage]

This is with the 4 optional effects

Without the 4 optional effects

[sour oar]

The difference is hard to notice when you can't quickly switch between

[manic sage]

Yeah not worth the fps loss during normal gameplay imo, but for those that want the eye candy they are there but disabled by default

[versed night]

open both in firefox or whatever you use, and use the hotkey to switch tabs, have those the only 2 tabs

quick switch

also i hate this game, i finally win this fight in red forest against like 20 mono/sin combo

and i fucking crash with an empty stack trace

[manic sage]

lmao

[versed night]

ever since i started this new game, enabled mag redux, updated it to latest on git, added some stuff from mods posting, changing from deadzone to autumn redux, i've been crashing so much

meanwhile, first playthrough on default everything gamma, maybe 5 total crashes over 50 hours

[manic sage]

revert back to a stable load order?

Have you messed around with the 4 optional effects in your game?

[versed night]

But autumn redux and mags

[manic sage]

autumn redux should have no issues no idea on the mags

[versed night]

a bit, i wanted to get out of this forest first cause it's haunting me

[manic sage]

lol

[versed night]

attempted #11. Turned off some mods i don't really care about rn.

[sour oar]

Just curious honestly, but now that you've calibrated your monitor, do you still experience the same tint on my reshade?

[versed night]

lemme hit a new map, my red forest still fucked. Just finished killing these dudes finally

[versed night]

even jupiter is bright as all hell.. i might have to sleep to pass time to get weather to change or something

[sour oar]

[versed night]

like rn none of the shaders look good, i actually have to turn them off

): Jupiter is unplayable at 1440p

[versed night]

it's kind of a blueish tint a bit now

but i still think it's looks off cause something is going on with the weather in my game

oh after changing and going back it's not there now it has a tiny bit of yellow tint, not as much as the screenshots from before

[manic sage]

reinstall gamma if you want to be safe

then reenable the mods you want to keep after the install finishes

[versed night]

damn, is there any good way to do upscaling with anomaly? 1080 upscale to 1440, cause native 1440 too much on the fps, 24fps in army warehouse too low to action shooter

[manic sage]

Why are you upscaling?

[versed night]

oh wait i want to downscale don't i? I forgot how it works lmao, i've always been at 1080 for years

cause 1080 anomaly on the native 1440 monitor stretches stuff out too much

[manic sage]

I personally just do this

fixes my aliasing issues as long as I run 4x anti aliasing

and SMAA very high

[versed night]

is that on 1440?

or?

[manic sage]

Yes 1440p

144hz

For me its equivalent to downscaling without the UI getting messed up

[versed night]

I shall try it

i'd be happy with 40fps min

I look at ONE gaslamp that i placed down in my little stash area, with it on i lose 10 fps, just a single lamp.

Alright, did setting did i break, this is uncalled for

43 to 67 from 1 lamp

[mint owl]

Blue tint issue

[rich sentinel]

Also got this, whats the fix?

[mint owl]

Honestly ? For Reshade, randomly using effects, tweaking, many trials and errors, and a LOT of time, I'm not joking it takes quite a while, then you have to be mindful of the weathers, all of them, just not making sunny ones looking great, anyone can do that

Most modders actually learn their stuff by deconstructing the work of others

[mint owl]

That's the thing

Aside of that

!bluetint

[void depot]

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

[mint owl]

Which doesn't really work all the time

There's no guaranteed fix

[rich sentinel]

[versed night]

Yeah i was only having that during whatever weather was happening or something there

[mint owl]

Clear2 most definitely

[versed night]

This is yours here

[mint owl]

I'd say it's tied to the new weathers from Golden Autumn Redux/Autumn Season Redux

Clear 2

[versed night]

Clear 1

just check debug, clear 1 is so bright it brings out a bit of blue

[rich sentinel]

which one got the weather configs Anomaly season or Golden Autumn?

[mint owl]

Both are using the same weathers

[versed night]

it's not bad here though, my red forest had the weird weather change after save tho. Here's clear 1

and clear 2

[mint owl]

Yeah it was never supposed to be this blue in the first place

[rich sentinel]

Tried some Dead Zone, game doesn't even start here

[mint owl]

Dead Zone textures pack ?

[rich sentinel]

The latest one on moddb

[mint owl]

Hmm, try seeing the crash log

[rich sentinel]

Currently I'm playing fine with the Golden Autumn, so I was considering testing Dead Zone and Winter after

[mint owl]

That's way too blue for my taste, try the fix above, hopefully that will work

[mint owl]

Yeah, but Dead Zone may conflict somewhere

[rich sentinel]

Only got this

[mint owl]

Which is why your crash log is necessary

Maybe there's more

[rich sentinel]

Gonna check, sec

Send the whole file?

[mint owl]

Yup

Hmm

Where did you load it ?

[rich sentinel]

Before Particles Cinematic

I guess I found the problem

https://tenor.com/view/meme-video-memes-komik-funny-gif-20503419

[zinc vector]

Hello there

[rich sentinel]

@mint owl Part 3 on the dead zone was empty and part 4 missing, guess it occurred while extracting

[mint owl]

General Ernie

[versed night]

I'll give it go next time i close or crash. Also i feel like i need someones ltx file, im getting real bad frames and i feel like i changed something i shouldn't have

[mint owl]

You could try mine but I don't think it will

[versed night]

replace when reinstalling?

[rich sentinel]

Got it to work

New save only

[mint owl]

Yup

[mint owl]

Was it worth it

[rich sentinel]

Don't know yet, it only worked on new game, loading save results on crash

[mint owl]

Yup

Probably normal

Most things can't be changed to then reload a save as if nothing happened

[rich sentinel]

Was about to ask you, do you got alternative links for Melting Winter?

[mint owl]

Unfortunately this is the only one as of now

[rich sentinel]

Mega stops the download on 60%

[mint owl]

Weird, always worked for everyone

Unless you exceeded the limit already ?

[wraith flicker]

Hey everyone, is there a good way to get really dark nights to the point where NVG is almost necessary?

this is what it looks like right now but you can clearly see all the silhouettes etc.

I have set the game to Dark Nights in the options, not sure if that even does anything though

[rich sentinel]

My mega goes on a loop, download until 60% then bandwidth limit, wait for 5-6 hours, then it band limit again.

[rich sentinel]

You could get darker nights with some tweaks on reshade too

[sour oar]

You can reduce the I believe lumscale_amb values in your user.ltx to make night times and indoor areas darker

[wraith flicker]

yeah I hoped there were some tweaks, I dont really know what to tweak though

The thing is I dont just want to make some edits that night darkness is fine but day lighting is getting fucked up

If I could make only those silhouettes darker that would be great

[sour oar]

Again, lumbscale amb value should only affect indoor areas and night time :)

[wraith flicker]

I will give it a try thank you

[wraith flicker]

Anomaly/appdata/user.itx right?

[sour oar]

Yeah

[wraith flicker]

original value is 1.15533

this is 0.1

not really sure if it does anything

[sour oar]

You changed it when the game was closed and then cleared the shaders cache?

[wraith flicker]

I didnt clear the cache, no

[sour oar]

Not even sure if I have to ask this too but you saved the file after making changes right?

[wraith flicker]

yes of course :D

[sour oar]

[wraith flicker]

let me delete the cache and try again

[sour oar]

Let me know if you see a difference after clearing cache

[wraith flicker]

No difference

found out though that the option for darker nights is affecting the sky brightness

[sour oar]

[wraith flicker]

doesnt help me with my silhouettes unfortunately

Okay so: I can adjust those values in game and they do something, problem is after a few seconds it resets probably because some mod is updating the values for lighting

there must be a way to get darker nights with reshade or something right

please teach me how to get darker nights :D

[zinc vector]

Long time no see. Looks like I am the only one who left Stalker out of all my dear stalker friends

[mint owl]

Haha well technically I'm inactive for the time being but not done with Stalker anytime soon x)

[glass steppe]

I turned down the gamma to 0.9 and in the visual settings there is an option for Night lighting
Default is slightly brighter nights

[wraith flicker]

thanks, will try it out

probably fucks with daytime lighting though right

[glass steppe]

not really

if anything it makes the contrast a bit better

[wraith flicker]

hell yeah this is spooky

[glass steppe]

I like to bully my friends that watch by just using a glowstick and a pistol at night lol

[wraith flicker]

actually prefer slightly bright nights so you see a little bit of the skybox

[glass steppe]

Some nights you see the skybox

depends on how clear the night is

But I generally prefer to be blind

I use my nods a lot lol

[vernal stratus]

does anyone knows if majestic reshade works with gamma?

[mint owl]

It should work just fine, now will it look good, it's up to you

[vernal stratus]

i see

[mint owl]

On my side, only moonless nights put me completely in the dark

[wraith flicker]

Yeah I guess moon phase play a part as well

[glass steppe]

Yeah they are the most mega spook

Most nights it's very dark, but not pitch

[wraith flicker]

but turning down gamma setting helped a lot

[glass steppe]

Emissions at night with those settings are nutty

Oh, Eden, I finally tweaked my stuff and actually fixed the reshade. Huge difference now lmao

I did a side by side with a friend that hasn't done any visual mods and hooboy I can never go back

[manic sage]

How do you install

[zinc vector]

I will come back eventually. My potato pc just wasn't enough

Anyway, I am pretty surprised about popularity of gamma. I am glad that it got the attention it deserved

[rich sentinel]

Dead Zone for Anomaly and Dead Zone Grass before Particles Cinematic

[manic sage]

I mean when the link to the download, when i downloaded it gave me a weird file format i haven’t touched before

[mint owl]

Fixed your Reshade how ? x)

[mint owl]

It's pretty recent actually, just big youtubers doing some covering x)

[glass steppe]

uhhhhhh made sure it was actually on

[mint owl]

Yeah, I've upgraded a while ago now

[mint owl]

[neon tulip]

Does Dead Zone work with G.A.M.M.A, I'm new to this whole reshade thing

[rich sentinel]

You just need to make a gamedata folder and get the .xdb files there, not that different

[rich sentinel]

Read last messages

[neon tulip]

Oh it appears im blind, Thanks bro

[mint owl]

How does it compare to GAMMA's Dead Zone ?

[manic sage]

The ground looks higher fidelity from that one screenshot atleast

[manic sage]

this

[rich sentinel]

Gotta test it out, just tried autumn and then dead zone

But Dead Zone alone is 10GB of textures

[manic sage]

Is a new save required?

[rich sentinel]

My old save didn't work with Dead Zone, you gotta test it

So yes, I created a new one for it to work

[manic sage]

downloading right now will try it with my preset

did you disable any mods in GAMMA?

[rich sentinel]

Disabled the same ones Eden requested on his guide

[manic sage]

Just tried it, its more barren than I would like

though some of the textures look great, I wonder if I can use this as a base

[rich sentinel]

Gamma Dead Zone

Seems to me that ground textures and textures overall seems bumpy, also different grass on Dead Zone compared to smooth textures on Gamma DZ

Dead Zone

[mint owl]

Which one feels better for you overall ?

[rich sentinel]

I gotta play some hours with each pack to get a result, but Gamma DZ is pretty lightweight compared to DZ

Now I'm trying to load project Inverno, but getting storm_common crash

[mint owl]

Yeah, it's coming from the weather collection file in config for some reason

I think lauta_ro mentionned a fix in #🔨modded-gamma-support but not sure

[manic sage]

I prefer the custum aggressor, EFP, GTR, autumn harmony mashup for textures

[silent cairn]

Those are all thick texture packs

[manic sage]

#╟📸screenshots message They might be thick but its worth the setup for them

[plucky pewter]

Legitimate question, has anyone found a good green/vanilla style texture pack with relatively unobtrusive grass/bushes? That's the big thing preventing me from just going vanilla visuals. Default setup in Gamma allows for good visibility for the most part.

[manic sage]

I dont see why you wouldn't go with a green texture pack and if its intrusive then decrease the grass density and grass size to your liking for more visibility

[silent cairn]

Right, since you can lower the size of grass

[manic sage]

Exactly, so Hisani just needs to find something they like then tweak through the ingame settings. Would create the least amount of headache.

[silent cairn]

I don't think I've seen texture packs with green-friendly bushes that wouldn't be lush

FabioConte's summer textures are the closest to vanilla

[manic sage]

Do you think that would be an issue?

[plucky pewter]

Wait you can tweak grass size? Where?

[manic sage]

in game graphics settings

should be three graphics settings related to grass

draw distance, density, size

go nuts with them

[plucky pewter]

I'll have to look through again but i remember density but not size

[manic sage]

size is the last of the three settings but they go in order

[plucky pewter]

Alrighty

[manic sage]

its density 1st, draw distance 2nd, size 3rd

You'll probably gain some fps tweaking down the lush presets

[royal pulsar]

can you share how to achieve this?

[silent cairn]

I might've gone overboard with the shine

[swift robin]

How to have more green trees and vegetation?

@swift robin

[swift robin]

Thank you. Got it.

[lost wedge]

so umh tried going back from edens with golden autumn to gamma's autumn, followed the instructions but i think something broke

anyone may have an idea on what is causing everything to be this dark?, the sky seems bugged too, this should be clear-1 weather

[silent cairn]

Did you delete shaders cache?

[lost wedge]

yep

[ember halo]

Any ideas as to why the ground/grass at times does this grey. The rendering distances and texture settings is all maxed and running DX11 - AVX. Restarted the game but no luck. Disabled and re-enabled all gamma reshader settings but no change.

[void laurel]

Looks like wet surfaces

[ember halo]

It hasn't rain and it is a sunny day. disabled wet surfaces and no change

[vivid meadow]

is there any way to prevent my reshade settings from changing the ui color? my inventory looks super duper dark

[ember halo]

This is what the distance looks like lol. Prob just messed up something my side - as per usual

[vivid meadow]

like the contrast i mean

[lost wedge]

lumscale hemi/amb?

[vivid meadow]

here is a pic of what i mean btw

[void laurel]

It's pretty hard to tell due to graphics quality on your end, but the last thing which comes to my mind is anisotropic filtering messing up your ground textures. They are fine when you look down on your feet right?

[ember halo]

Correct. I will play around with that value as it is maxed right now so that could be the issue as I've disabled all the reshade options for now.

[void laurel]

That option should improve ground textures in the distance. Maybe turning it off completely or maxed out is better for you I cannot tell. For me, maxed out is the best but Iam playing on 1080p.

[vague island]

Should be basic light settings

Since golden autumn asks you to lower gamma

Need to increase it to default or to your liking

[lost wedge]

its already to my liking, or at least to what i was using with eden's reshade for vanilla autumn

[civic lichen]

I like this stalker video on youtube but I cant seem to find his settings for the colours

Tsauce

am I completely retarded or have I missed something? 😮

maybe both

https://tenor.com/view/duuhh-dum-dummy-funny-face-gif-12282515

im p sure he's using the default reshade

[civic lichen]

at episode 16 he changes something

[ember halo]

Just had to delete my shader cache for some reason now it's solid. thanks for the help tho!

[civic lichen]

been looking over his details info and it was Flora before then it was Summer to Autumn Mod

[covert linden]

hi im having difficulties following step 4 for the framerate optimisation

i went to gamma modpack_patches and couldnt find the appdata

[swift robin]

here's the file in the folder

[silent cairn]

It's summer to autumn + vanilla gamma reshade (at least in episode 16)

[civic lichen]

just delete the stuff inside the shaders_cache and paste that file he posted within the app data inside anomaly

[covert linden]

oh no im getting this error now

what do i do now ?

[silent cairn]

You disabled Screen Space Shaders without reinstalling Beef's NVG properly didn't you #🔨modded-gamma-supportfor support

oh its fine i got it to work

thank you!

Hippo's Color Correct reshade (default settings)

Eden's reshade

I sorta like the contrast of Eden's, but other than that hippos looks pretty similar

[silent cairn]

Hippo's has a sliiiight different tint compared to Eden's

and here's agressor of course

[dapper rivet]

serious?

why does it look like that

[silent cairn]

oops uhh, here we go

(agressor requires different settings)

We also got a new ShadowReshade today (very high contrast!)

Might wanna up your gamma for this one

[mint owl]

Ohhh, here go my Reshade down the drain then

[silent cairn]

You know exactly how it looks in cloudy/foggy weather

[mint owl]

No I don't

[swift robin]

damn this is so pretty

im a sucker for bright reshade and enb

might check out the reshade later

[silent cairn]

Oh, it's very dark. But ShadowDog doesn't try to hide that fact in their screenshots like I did

[swift robin]

fuck

[silent cairn]

But hey only way to know if it's for you is to give it a go

I'll stick with eden

[glossy pond]

Where’s this one?

[silent cairn]

#1036957137085140992 message

[glossy pond]

Thanks!

[manic sage]

Yes i can in a bit

[manic sage]

Very nice you should experiment with the 4 optional effects that are disabled by default

[silent cairn]

Yeah I did that too

[manic sage]

How would you feel if i made a third preset inspired by aggressor?

[glossy pond]

Are graphic settings saved in user ltx?

[silent cairn]

Inspired... how exactly

[glossy pond]

Or rather can I like save different graphics settings presets by like copying and changing user ltx if that makes sense

[manic sage]

Emulates that tarkov look but without that mega bright light during bright weathers

Would be hard to do but worth a shot

[glossy pond]

Tarkov looks like shit ngl stalker sweeps

[manic sage]

It’s what aggressor is inspired by i think

[silent cairn]

You can, write cfg_save kassovie1.ltx to save your settings, and then cfg_load kassovie1 to load it

[glossy pond]

And that would hold graphics settings right

Or are user ltx settings different

[silent cairn]

The graphic settings, yes

[manic sage]

Definitely not down drain the only reshade that I have loaded besides mine.

[glossy pond]

thanks

[silent cairn]

It's OVER for EDEN

The reshade god has been slain

[manic sage]

If it wasn’t for the fact that his is fps heavy, i would have never made mine.

Every day Iget closer and closer to the look of his reshade. Also important to note without having his reshade as a base line to switch to, i wouldn’t have been able to get the colors the way I have them.

[silent cairn]

I can't believe it's been how many months and I still default to eden's reshade

[manic sage]

Plus I already gave Eden permission to use my reshade for his performance preset when ever he comes back.

[glossy pond]

Thoughts on grass size

Also how much can u do with nvidia freestyle

[mint owl]

To be fair I intend to come back even stronger with my own improved preset in January xD

[manic sage]

You'll need to download autumn harmony, EFP texture pack (from the Escape from Pripyat discord), GTR, then aggressor reshate textures.

[mint owl]

Hippo did a great job regardless, but I want to try on my own

[manic sage]

aggressor reshade textures are already included, though I did delete some of the textures from each of the texture packs

[civic lichen]

what is that glossy reelection on the right side :o?

[silent cairn]

Screen space reflection, can't do much about it, just how the shader works

[civic lichen]

got some other wierd thing as well the lighting changes a little when i tilt the camera angle

[silent cairn]

It is dependent on what is visible on your screen

[civic lichen]

its slightly greyish

[mint owl]

The next step in my big plan is to make my Reshade even more dummy proof and much less heavy while retaining the exaxt same look

[silent cairn]

[glossy pond]

There will always be a dumber dummy

[mint owl]

Yup, but some stuff could be improved

I also need to add instructions for Dead Zone and Fabio Conte's Summer pack, need to remove the HUD from my Autumn Harmony and put it as optional

[silent cairn]

[glossy pond]

Eden, are retextures incompatible with weather mods or do you want weather mods disabled because of how it looks with reshade?

[silent cairn]

Yeah, while the hud is nice it probably should've been optional

Or, if you are feeling really crafty, make an MO2 installer out of it

[mint owl]

I can probably do so but thing is, I'll have to learn how to do so, and another issue is that people would not be very trusty with installer, neither will the various virus blocker

[mint owl]

Not incompatible but most of the packs are using Fabio Conte's weathers and the problematic Clear 2

[glossy pond]

So it would not be recommended to try, say, majestic with golden autumn redux

[silent cairn]

MO2 installer is just a textfile I think

I need to check

It guides MO2 how to install your modpack

[mint owl]

Not really recommended, while Majestic Clear weathers are great, the variety and quality of others is lacking

[glossy pond]

I see, and similar for other weather mods I assume

[mint owl]

Ideally, a full dummy proof click here and there installer would be great for each pack

[manic sage]

Agreeed, I tried them yesterday, was not fully impressed

[mint owl]

But when I look at strangerism's work I find it overly complicated tbh

[silent cairn]

Ah yeah strangerism needs to use a third party installer the way they want to deploy the mod

[mint owl]

There is the abnormal weathers option I considered but it's a nightmare for any Reshade maker due to the sheer quantity of skyboxes per weather

[manic sage]

Even then, the EFP discord offers a standalone expedition file you can drag and drop. it looks great but the issue is indoor lighting is wayyyy too bright. It's actually insane

[mint owl]

Oh ? On V4 ?

[silent cairn]

30+ weathers and none of them is calibrated to work with each other

[mint owl]

Yup, can offer great scenery at one point then destroy it the next ingame hour

[silent cairn]

Great for screenshots

[mint owl]

But for gameplay... bruh

[manic sage]

this is an example of the bad portion of expedition

[mint owl]

Bwaaah

[manic sage]

then the great

literally no in between

[mint owl]

Not great at all imo

Sky is pure white square

[manic sage]

tbf even with my reshade and yours in some weathers can be almost pure white

[silent cairn]

Expedition has that extra bright sun lens texture, I love it so much I literally ripped it off to use standalone

[swift robin]

Tried both, Eden’s for sure looked a bit better with a cost of 20 fps drop. I was fine though until my game freezer 3 times in a row while using it. So switched to Hippo’s, which is awesome too.

[silent cairn]

It only blinds you when you look directly at the sun though

[glossy pond]

For your reshades what grass size u guys recommend

[manic sage]

this is another good one

[manic sage]

exactly

but sometimes expedition is wayyyy too much

[mint owl]

Like really I like to see my skybox, and only cloudy weathers makes me accept a white sky

[manic sage]

Fair

Either way, I tried it and the indoor lighting is completely out of whack

[mint owl]

Yup, I'll make a performances preset on my own in January, but Hippobot made a great alternative already

[swift robin]

I mean i still ran with 75 fps with urs, but didn’t know why the game kept freezing 😓

[mint owl]

Stutter patch active in load order ?

[manic sage]

Time to port 4-5 of the effects in my reshade into lightroom for more of an fps boost.

[swift robin]

I didn’t enable it myself, unless by default.

I’ll check it out.

[mint owl]

You should try it, makes a big difference for me

[silent cairn]

When are you porting them all to shader_params 1-4

[manic sage]

When I learn how to lol

[mint owl]

Oh yeah, would that help it performance wise ?

[glossy pond]

What does it do

[silent cairn]

0 impact on frames if you adjust the shader params

[mint owl]

Patch my stuttering

Hmm

[glossy pond]

Incredible

[mint owl]

Might worth trying x)

[manic sage]

Any resources so I can learn how to do so?

I might give it a shot

[mint owl]

Honestly I have no clue, or I don't remember but someone explained it

[manic sage]

but seeing as how the gamma devs haven't done so already makes me wonder of the limitations

[silent cairn]

And then you need to include another file with your settings if you do that instead of just telling people to use grading_vanilla

[manic sage]

right

Why do you think no one has done that yet?

[mint owl]

Majestic Weathers has one but still needs a Reshade

[silent cairn]

Oh yeah you absolutely need a reshade for some of the effects

[manic sage]

Yeah I know expedition does the same

[silent cairn]

you only have these

[manic sage]

to a hit or miss effect

[mint owl]

Yeah I won't be getting anywhere with that

[manic sage]

So I just tweak these 4 and call it a day?

what about shader_param_5 or 6?

[manic sage]

Ahhhhhhhh

[silent cairn]

don't need to touch these really

I'd adjust the params 1-4 and once you can't make it nicer anymore start slapping reshade on top

[manic sage]

Ok actually I might do this today

should cut down on 4-5 effects

First time doing this though, no promises

[vague island]

interesting stuff

[mint owl]

To be fair, Vanilla grading is already what I need imo

[vague island]

where can I find hippobots reshade i'd like to try it out

thanks guys

[manic sage]

Give all the reshades a try, choice is a good thing

Find what works best for you

[glossy pond]

Everyone’s are so unique

[vague island]

yeah

I like trying out reshades

[manic sage]

Except mine, mine copies CS Eden

but more fps

[mint owl]

I'm dumb, I though it was an update to SSS shadows, but that's the name of another Reshade, so mine won't go down the drain after all

[silent cairn]

The reshade god lives another day

[mint owl]

If GAMMA updates the graphics stuff too much it will though, like that decapitation system that caused crash

[civic lichen]

You guys have any preferred settings ? using Ryzen cpu :/

[silent cairn]

Default gamma settings

[mint owl]

Volumetric

Grading Vanilla

Then higher grass density + 190 grass rendering distance+ 0.8 grass height

[glossy pond]

Short grass

[civic lichen]

fullscreen or borderless?

[mint owl]

Whatever works honestly I use the default one in GAMMA but some people seem to run better with borderless

[civic lichen]

something feels off when playing

xD

[mint owl]

While Grok said a long time ago that fullscreen was better performances wise, but again, GAMMA has long evolved since

Each computer react differently to the game

So might as well try what works best for you

[manic sage]

So I accidently made expedition

[silent cairn]

I get more frames fullscreen

[mint owl]

It's actually not bad

[glossy pond]

Full screen tends to help performance in all games. I forget exactly why I think it’s how gpu renders

[manic sage]

Now switch this to clear weather....Ohhhh boy

[glossy pond]

May be because as borderless it’s a window, so the desktop and everything else active on screen is still technically there

[mint owl]

Ah yes, Reshade inconsistencies are humanity's greatest enemy after Tik Tok

[glossy pond]

Which full screen does not do

[civic lichen]

gaining 'like 8 fps by ticking off CPU 0

[silent cairn]

10 fps more if you close your browser

[vague island]

with me idk when I ticked off cpu 0 I got a lot of stutters

instantly

maybe Ill try it again

[silent cairn]

Weird it should help with that

[civic lichen]

I guess it depends on the CPU

I am using AMD

[vague island]

im using an i5 6600

[civic lichen]

when its on its bottlenecking because of the 1 core

[silent cairn]

If you have more than 8 cores try ticking off 0 and 1

[civic lichen]

shit

that worked

I mean 0 worked really good but 1 opened another row of cores being used

[vague island]

how do you see the cores active

[manic sage]

@mint owl @silent cairn no reshade at all

[manic sage]

shader param 3 tweak

[vague island]

fraps?

[civic lichen]

I am using RIvatuner

[mint owl]

It's indeed better

[manic sage]

free fps as well

[autumn cape]

what if you're just right on 8 cores

[vale flume]

Just download more VRAM

[mint owl]

You tick off half of Core 0

[silent cairn]

Be mindful that if you need adaptive tonemapping you need a shader from reshade, you might destroy tonemap in night time with just shader_params

[manic sage]

How do you use debug weathers? I want to tweak clear weathers first, start with the brightest then go from there down in luminance

[mint owl]

Yup, and it is needed imo

Need to enable debug mode in launcher

Then F7 in game then press 3 (not the numpad one)

[manic sage]

ty

[silent cairn]

For that perfect image you need adaptive and dynamic shaders yeah, but it is still neat what you can achieve with just shader_params

[mint owl]

It's absolutely mandatory for Reshade making

[silent cairn]

You made your reshade without weather debug?

[mint owl]

Hence why I use both

[civic lichen]

I like this scenery but I dont like the FPS

[silent cairn]

I have 8 cores and only ticking off core 0 increased my frames

[mint owl]

How much ? Which Reshade ?

[civic lichen]

Its with summer to autum and the default gamma

[vale flume]

Does anyone know if ticking off core 0 with 6 cores helps?

[autumn cape]

yeah, been doing the same - real quick, what's the phenomenon where shadows move in waves quickly across the ground? not sure if clouds move that fast past the sun

[civic lichen]

I would like more stable fps over 60

I am getting a little gimped by my bottleneck on GPU from the CPU :/

[silent cairn]

That do be the clouds though, I did have a bug with abnormal weathers where the clouds would move insanely fast however

[mint owl]

Disable all addons in GAMMA then delete Reshade, over 100+ fps guaranteed

[civic lichen]

xDDD

[autumn cape]

mm, alright /shrug

[vale flume]

Try #old-framerate-optimisation and #🤖bot-commands !stutter

[autumn cape]

guess that's just how it is

[civic lichen]

I have 4090 combined with Ryzen 3900x getting a new cpu early next year once the DDR5 goes down in price as well as the new motherboards

[autumn cape]

only thing i changed with my weather is making rain and storms more frequent

[silent cairn]

It shouldn't look unnatural

[civic lichen]

Its not a framerate optimization's that will fix my issue

[autumn cape]

it doesn't, really

[civic lichen]

its my head

[autumn cape]

just wondered about it

[silent cairn]

Yeah since the clouds in the skies don't move at all

[vale flume]

You shouldn’t have 60fps then. I have a 2080 super and Ryzen 5 3600x and get 80fps on average

[civic lichen]

ingame settings?

[vale flume]

My settings are all pretty high tbh. Low to medium on sun rays and sun shadow

Make sure your grass density is set to 0.8

[civic lichen]

ofc I do have higher fps other places but I am benchmarking

[mint owl]

Maybe your 4090 is not optimised yet and too powerful to the point of bottlenecking your CPU

[civic lichen]

Thats a 100% bottleneck

[silent cairn]

There is no way CPU is not the bottleneck with this game

[civic lichen]

xD

True

it all depends on the game I suppoce

[mint owl]

Yeah, but a too recent GPU can cause various problems, especially when said GPU is actually pricy so not many users to help report issues and participate in making it more optimized

[vale flume]

If you’re benchmarking, just keep playing with it. But I guarantee your sun rays and sun shadow settings aren’t helping your FPS

[civic lichen]

xD

still trying to tune it

I like seeing colours and a nice night sky

[silent cairn]

Rendering distance also kills frames

[civic lichen]

whats important is having good fps within crowded areas

[silent cairn]

Ain't gonna happen

or uhh, if it does let me know

Every single rendered stalker wants a piece of that single-core cake

[civic lichen]

I aint no genius on settings but Ill try to bother people who are

[vale flume]

I have high render distance and no issues. It’s just grass density and grass distance are lower with grass shadows disabled

@civic lichen You don’t have grass shadows on right? That’s an FPS killer

[silent cairn]

Oh yeah, it's just when rendering distance makes more npcs rendered I think

[civic lichen]

I had it off

[manic sage]

tweaked

[manic sage]

default

[civic lichen]

I like yours better

the sky I love

[mint owl]

[silent cairn]

You can't touch the sky in any way with shader params

[mint owl]

Shadows needs to be brighter imo

Not too much still

[manic sage]

could be something I tweak further or through reshade

[mint owl]

True

[silent cairn]

Here is a quick example of eden's reshade and no reshade with shader params

[manic sage]

top is tweaked, bottom is not

its slight

in this picture atleast

[manic sage]

You can definitely notice the lack of the "clarity" effect

otherwise 85% there

[silent cairn]

No bloom, no smaa, no ambient light, no depth-based anything

and it is only similar in this one scene

[mint owl]

Hard to tell with the phone xD

[silent cairn]

[manic sage]

okay quick question, how do you save a cfg preset

[mint owl]

Only there huh ? Another exemple where it's different ?

[silent cairn]

cfg_save hippo1.ltx

the .ltx is important

[silent cairn]

Probably any other time of day or weather

It's impossible to mimic a reshade as complex as yours

[manic sage]

what I have so far

top is default

[mint owl]

[sour oar]

Read the hippo in the room

[mint owl]

Here, bottom looks way better

[mint owl]

To be fair, people like to compare but I'm using Volumetric and grading vanilla as a base, and people leave these on when doing comparison most of the time, forgetting that GAMMA uses Screen Space and grading warm by default x)

[silent cairn]

This is also true

But also shows how your reshade shines in different environments

[mint owl]

My dream is one Reshade to rule them all x)

[sour oar]

There is only one lord of the reshades

[mint owl]

Usable in any setting be it Dead Zone, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter

[sour oar]

And he does not share power

[mint owl]

Agressor ?

Hmm... I need more bloom and realistic eye adaptation

Eyes have to be camera lenses instead of human eyes

Got it

[silent cairn]

agressor doesn't have eye adaptation anymore

It does have this though

[manic sage]

lmao

[mint owl]

It's an effect enabled through shader files

sky.ps I think

in R3

and R2

[sour oar]

I messed up the quote my bad

Cough cough

[silent cairn]

[sour oar]

There is only one lord of the reshades, only one who can bend it to his will

And he does not share power

Now I’m imaging Eden here is Saruman

Believing he can become greater than his master when deep down he knows Sauron, Aggressor, is stronger

[mint owl]

My beard genetics are crap

Stronger popularity for sure, Agressor has plenty of YouTube showcase and featured a lot, on top of having been there for more than a year

[manic sage]

I think you also need to upload on moddb

[mint owl]

Then there's mine, one month old, found on GAMMA server exclusively

I hate moddb with a burning passion sadly

[manic sage]

how come?

[mint owl]

Poor system of rating

[manic sage]

I never pay attention to the rating system only to the comments

[mint owl]

People troll rate your Reshade, makes it come as bad then avoided

Besides, people don't read here, they do even less on moddb

[manic sage]

I released a reshade wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back on moddb

it was titled immersive reshade, the amount of support you need to give the people is insane

I stopped updating as a result

[mint owl]

Yup, I once uploaded an old version of my WIP LTTZ for all factons

[manic sage]
