[vague island]

why cant I save DOF tho

it turns off even if I apply it

anyways this is how it looks

[manic sage]

Disable it in console

[vague island]

whats the command for it

[manic sage]

Type dof and some options will come up

Dof enable or something

Set it to off

[vague island]

the first part of the weapon is blurred part of the dof right?

[austere saddle]

Looks nice as fuck and what exo suit is that?

[manic sage]

Yeah go into the mcm to tweak it to your liking

Should be under SSS

[vague island]

duty nosorog

[manic sage]

Also enable 2d shader actors under there

[vague island]

aight thanks for the assistance

its jonky

i can only enable dof in the console

if i turn it off

i cant turn it on in the settings

[manic sage]

You don’t need it

Disable it in the console then restart your game you should be good after that

[silent cairn]

There is a bit of magenta

[vague island]

the weapon dof is gone once I change weapons

[manic sage]

Weird

[manic sage]

Mmm good to know

[late tiger]

why's it so hard to decide on a reshade

[silent cairn]

Cool picture

[late tiger]

Thanks 🙏

[manic sage]

I like it that’s nice

[vague island]

this is hippo original with hippo grading

[turbid wave]

So I added the SSS addon to mod organizer, checked the box, then pasted over the github.exe to the bin folder in the Anomaly folder, but my intro screen looks nothing like lances at the bottom left where it says SSS, DXML 2.1, etc. is there. What did I do wrong?

[vague island]

#╟🎑reshades message

is that everything you checked when you installed??

[turbid wave]

yes

[vague island]

do you have his reshade?

[turbid wave]

yes

[vague island]

hmmm

idk since im no expert with stalker stuff

pretty new as well its my first play through

[turbid wave]

same

[vague island]

also @manic sage sorry for the ping but how can I adjust your sharpening setting in CAS in hippo original

I like a softer look just enough sharpening to increase blacks and add detail

[manic sage]

oh just weak the two numbers

I havent updated that preset in a while

[vague island]

i tried to tweak it but its at -70 and 70

[manic sage]

I will in the future

[vague island]

so im not sure

it changed to 1.0

when i touched it

[manic sage]

Should be a tool tip when you hover over it

[vague island]

this is what happened when I touched it

ill stick with hippo grading I think

i tweaked it a bit to my liking

thanks for all the help

[full crown]

I also really like a nice green look and I used Aggressor grass for now. I see you got the suggestion already but sometimes the grass doesn't fit too great with some ground textures (I'm using GTR). Are FabioContes summer textures better in that regard?

[vague island]

I havent tried it yet

I tried aggressor i didnt like it

Im using vanilla grass and textures rn

[silent cairn]

FabioConte's summer is very close to vanilla

[manic sage]

Try this with the hippo2.ltx

.833,.8253,.8853,.005

shader_param_3

[full crown]

btw, thank you Hippo and Eden for your reshades. I played with both of them a few days each but didn't take too many screenshots. Both are great.

[vague island]

I'll try it rn

[silent cairn]

Better

would it be possible to lower the blue in param_2?

Or does that break something

[manic sage]

I can try

.833,.8353,.8853,.005
shader_param_3

Try this before I move on to shader_param_2

[silent cairn]

That's more magenta

[manic sage]

okay okay

[silent cairn]

Previous one was

[manic sage]

The previous param I gave you?

[silent cairn]

.833,.8253,.8853,.005 this one

[manic sage]

shader_param_2 .0016,.0145,.012,.0182

Try that in addition to the good shader_param_3

The third value was changed from .014 to .012

[late tiger]

Some more comparisons

[silent cairn]

Better

[manic sage]

Any other requests

Let me know color master

[silent cairn]

I'd drop it to at least .008 though

[manic sage]

Drop what?

oh I see

[novel ridge]

adding on to the picture from xpire, it looks like the original has a green tint or the hippo is on the slightly magenta side, which one is more true to the original as in intended color space? or is it really just preference?

[silent cairn]

Third value in param_3

[silent cairn]

hippo is magenta

[manic sage]

fuck you lmao but I am color blind

I try my best

ummm so param 3 by .008 for the third value

833,.8253,.8773,.005

So like that instead of 833,.8253,.8853,.005

?

[silent cairn]

Wait

sorry I'm idiot

[manic sage]

param_2?

[silent cairn]

yeah

not down by 0.008 but into 0.008

[manic sage]

Makes more sense now

[late tiger]

Hold up, who gave the reins to a colorblind guy? jk, I love the effort all of you & Eden put in.

[manic sage]

NO ONE ELSE WANTED TO DO IT

but no really idk

[vague island]

@turbid wave did you install patches folder

[manic sage]

I was bored

[turbid wave]

Lance, I think I got it to work. I now have the same splash screen as you do

[vague island]

Aight sounds good then

[turbid wave]

Just not sure how to tell in game if it applied or not

[novel ridge]

I honestly already really like your reshade tho, i think a tad less sharpening overall and its i just cant decide between your grading and vanilla atm.

[manic sage]

How does .009 compare?

[vague island]

Same the difference is subtle and my dof isnt even working

[manic sage]

to you

[turbid wave]

Yea my dof isnt working either

[silent cairn]

[manic sage]

Now what about .0095 lmao

[silent cairn]

[manic sage]

or .009 is good enough

[silent cairn]

You drive a hard bargain

[manic sage]

let me know because I dont want the magenta anymore

even though I cant see it

[silent cairn]

Oh if you don't want it then we gotta go with something like 0.005

[manic sage]

That looks better to you?

hmmm

[silent cairn]

I would need to test these values in more environments

[manic sage]

Alright compromise

.005 to .0055

DONE

🙂

lol

The old color grading from the current update

The current values we are playing around with

[vague island]

Found the fix

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/928715640968212582/1039980390514962574/image.png

G.a.m.m.a Ui

Mod in mo2

Open explorer go to scripts

Delete it or disable

[manic sage]

@silent cairn This is with .009

[late tiger]

This comparison is from an older batch of screenshots from earlier today, but this is what @novel ridge was alluding to with the subtle "green" with the colorcorrect preset+ vanilla grading. Though Hippo+vanilla grading looking sexy

[vague island]

Anyone wanna share DoF settings for SSS?

[manic sage]

.007

[silent cairn]

007

[manic sage]

Alright people stare at these wall pictures and tell me what you all like

[manic sage]

I think so too

[rich sentinel]

Looks like walls to me, yep

[turbid wave]

It works. Thanks

[vague island]

I like this too

[silent cairn]

Magenta is so hard to see once your eyes get used to it

I have to look at something else for a while

[manic sage]

Yeah it was hard to see for me but this set of walls in pripyat near the palace of culture is really good to see the tint changes

[vague island]

I dont think I like the DoF on the SSS update

Its kind of too noticeable

[manic sage]

Gotta tweak it

mcm

[late tiger]

easily tweakable 👍

[manic sage]

its really nice when you tweak it to be subtle

[vague island]

You mind sharing your settings?

also dont like the summer mod of fabioconte

[vague island]

it changes the ground in rostok to greenish stuff and dirt

[vague island]

thank you very much

have you guys tried Hippo's reshade with autumn harmony?

how is it

aight DoF looks way better

thanks for everyone's assistance

btw did this come with the SSS update?

when I press V on my sniper it becomes a static scope

instead of it moving like this when I move my mouse

[manic folio]

dont press v

single solution there

in my experience

that only happens if you have no other optic

to fall back to

[manic sage]

Alright reshade is updated

thanks @silent cairn

[vague island]

Aight I thought it was gonna tilt the weapon

[manic folio]

on most BAS weapons it does

[vague island]

Time to update hippo reshade

[manic folio]

ig you got unlucky with this one 😭

[vague island]

Yeah xD it looks kind of clean tho

Easy sniping

[loud path]

nice

is that using the summer texture pack?

[silent cairn]

Yes

[loud path]

yea mine looks very much like this, been tweaking my shit all day. will post screen shot in a minute

[vague island]

which summer texture pack

fabio conte's?

[silent cairn]

FabioConte's

[vague island]

looks so good

[vague island]

why didnt my game look like this when I used that mod

[loud path]

yours looks loads better tbf

[vague island]

hmmm

[silent cairn]

I did remove the zZz_summer_detail.db0 from the summer mod though

I was not a fan of the road textures

[vague island]

how can I remove the ground

[vague island]

oh yes

thats what I was looking for

[loud path]

mine looks good enough for me, i do get issues at night time tho, the nightvision is so bad i dont know what to do to fix it

[vague island]

hated the way the ground looked at rostok

then removed it

[silent cairn]

I just let Eden and Hippo do the reshading part for me

[vague island]

Great work indeed

one thing tho

i disabled PDA dof

my pda is still blurry AF

a better pic

[silent cairn]

Ah yes the new SSS made the character farsighted and now you need to buy reading glasses from sidorovich

[late tiger]

I love this community lol

[manic sage]

love seeing tomy get clowned

[silent cairn]

Oh finally the other CGIM got nuked?

[manic sage]

Yeah lol

[rich sentinel]

He got credit though

[vague island]

autumn harmony with Hippo grading and reshade actually looks fucking amazing

I might turn off dof tho I cant see in my pda xD

[rich sentinel]

Gotta take more night shots

[undone delta]

so anyone reccomend some texture packs_

[silent cairn]

Hippo can you set the weather to clear1 at 8:30 am and take a screenshot of that same angle

[undone delta]

blincness

[manic sage]

yes

[vague island]

btw what does CGIM mean

in one of your presets

[rich sentinel]

Clown goes in moddb

[silent cairn]

oh god

are you using my shader tweaks?

[manic sage]

Yeah why?

Is there something bad?

[silent cairn]

Yeah uhh the way I handle the ground is

But that has been fixed since

[manic sage]

lol EXTRA SHINE

can you send it over?

[silent cairn]

Sure let me just make sure it actually works

I'll dm it

[manic sage]

Sounds good

[vague island]

will this be released soon?

also hippo is your pda blurred?

[silent cairn]

I'm just waiting for Grok to include the newest SSS in gamma

[manic sage]

trying your filmic plus preset

its mega dark lol

your filmic preset is nice tho

[rich sentinel]

Watch out for the monocular cues

[rich sentinel]

Must be the levelsplus

[manic sage]

filmic plus

[vague island]

Very noice, Im excited

All your screens look amazing

[manic sage]

filmic pass

[rich sentinel]

Try without levels

[manic sage]

ok

[silent cairn]

someone needs to clean the reshade-shaders folder

[manic sage]

lol I just disabled those

[rich sentinel]

Told ya

[manic sage]

Tbh you dont need monocular cues you're trying to add depth to surface textures with it right?

[rich sentinel]

Well some shadows looks better with monocular, but can be placebo

[manic sage]

Try this

With adaptive sharp + monocular cues

contrast sharp only

only adaptive sharp

[rich sentinel]

Monocular seems to change something but in distance

I see changes atleast here on grass and trees

[manic sage]

contrast sharp does the same thing but not as heavy

makes the thin lines of the branches not as aliased but ever so slightly thicker

[rich sentinel]

Actually not using it in this tweaked version I made here

[frigid spade]

the concept of simulating focus is something i really like tho tbh, depth of field really does make it feel like you are aiming down your sights or have a fat scope protruding off the weapon you are carrying

[frigid spade]

i highly recommend levelsplus and fixing black levels so you never get any splotchy black spots on walls or w.e. wait till you see one and then you can fix it.

[rich sentinel]

I spent some time trying to use levelsplus, but inventory and skies gets shit on

[frigid spade]

i may only notice it as bad cuz of having an IPS monitor, but idk its bad without it

[rich sentinel]

Gotta know what you did on your side

[manic sage]

I never need it the black levels on lightroom are enough for me while also tweaking the black curve at the same time to go along with it all in lightroom

[frigid spade]

not for me

[rich sentinel]

Explain

[manic sage]

That inventory mega dark Ethan

[frigid spade]

lol

[manic sage]

Use these in lightroom

black and shadow curve along with black curve

[frigid spade]

i dont think its that bad?? besides, without these levels the blacks are unrealistic or splotchy in some spots

the thing about levelsplus is its adaptive

[manic sage]

Then color tweaks and exposure

[manic sage]

how so

[rich sentinel]

Low values?

But I tweaked lightroom with filmic pass, so I can get a breath

[frigid spade]

its adaptive black levels, so when you enter a shadow or something, you will get a real life effect of looking out from a dark space in to a bright one

[manic sage]

Yeah your filmic pass is really nice

[vague island]

game looks pretty nice with reshade off just hippo.itx

[rich sentinel]

I would use levelsplus, but I gotta fix the skies and the inventory

This is the preset without levelsplus

[frigid spade]

notice how the black level changes depending where i am

that said, to get this effect, it requires you have pretty dark nights

which i personal want so ya

but as seen above inv isn't pwned dark, just maybe a lil darker

i love the fun filters haha

when you find a splotchy spot, like a random dark spot on a wall that almost looks like its drawn on with paint or some shit, test it out there, until then its not much of an issue, but i started seeing them everywhere and it helped a lot. they are even present without any reshade.

[manic sage]

With lightroom

[vague island]

In the 3rd pic idk if the weapon would look that dark irl under that lighting

[manic sage]

levels plus

[leaden linden]

Ty EDEN! V2

[frigid spade]

i agree, it's imperfect

[frigid spade]

that said, its a very strange time, that is right before sunset in great swamps, nothing irl looks like that place.

[vague island]

Makes sense

[frigid spade]

no other spot in game looks like that

the game makes it SO orange

and that fucks with reshade

[vague island]

Have you posted your preset yet? Would love to try it out

[frigid spade]

im running in 1440p and i have bumped up SSS mod ambient occlusion so it wont be exact

here hang on

lemme grab my ini file for sss

[vague island]

Thanks man i’ll try these tomorrow

[frigid spade]

you gotta install the new update 12 for SSS mod and then use that file in D:(ANOMALY GAMMA INSTALL)\mods\190- Screen Space Shaders - Ascii1457\gamedata\shaders\r3

[vague island]

I already did that earlier

[frigid spade]

sweet :]

[vague island]

[frigid spade]

and you gotta disable ui dof file somewhere to make dof work

im assuming you did that too

or the dof breaks

unless they fixed that prob idk

[vague island]

Yep did that

I got one problem tho

My pda is blurred even tho I remove the dof for the pda

[frigid spade]

idk why thats happening to people, it didnt ever happen to me

just work by default the whole time

[vague island]

You having this problem as well?

[frigid spade]

nah :/

maybe fov?

[vague island]

You’ve heard of other people experiencing this tho?

[frigid spade]

yea

[vague island]

I just hve the default fov

And use hippo’s tweaks for the dof

If I manage to fix that ill be golden

For now no dof

aight i fixed it

its exactly because I had it turned off xD

the dof gets reversed

the pda gets blurred instead of the surroundings

[frigid spade]

lolol

makes sense

[vague island]

is it me or the bokeh of the pda dof seems like its has some chromatic abberation?

[frigid spade]

i think i saw him post you cant disable pda dof actually

that makes sense why

dof has bokeh lighting and stuff applied to it

[vague island]

i dont like it including the reload dof

[frigid spade]

its also psuedo dof tbh

[vague island]

also hate chromatic aberration

[frigid spade]

i love the reload, realistically you cant look at an enemy while reloading

takes focus

every single person looks down when they reload

to grab their mag etc

i love chromatic aberration, idk what it is but its a powerful aesthetic for me

ive never minded blurs

[vague island]

yeah but i think its too much

[vague island]

it hurts my eyes

like I think the area surrounding the weapon shouldnt be blurred or also the area around the mag while it moves

[frigid spade]

that said, your dof does look off compared to mine

[vague island]

you mind sharing your settings for the dof?

[frigid spade]

that may be better yes

mine are the default

[vague island]

this is like what I see when I borrow my friends glasses

he's blind as a bat xD

[frigid spade]

im pretty blind while looking down at my phone rn

my peripheral is blurry af

i have always felt games allow far too much vision if they are trying to be "realistic" cuz we are actually really blind

nothing wrong with liking a crisp image though

i just like intense realistic visuals

though dof is ALSO not realistic soo

[vague island]

same but not too intense

[frigid spade]

cuz we can just flick our eye and it changes

and you can do that in game

[vague island]

lemme trythe reload thing again

[frigid spade]

like you cant flick that dof off on off on in a few ms over and over

[vague island]

the dof looked grainy at first for me

I also have really good peripheral vision so idk maybe im not used to it

[frigid spade]

definitely gonna be a taste thing

some are dif

im honestly kinda blind irl lmaoo

making reshades is like an art form for me though, i spend ludicrous amounts of time just tweaking

[vague island]

i did this for w3

[frigid spade]

thing is i am upscaling from 1080p to 1440p cuz my monitor sucks, so my reshade prob needs some taa enabled, which can be configured in reshade, i have one configured for when i was running at 1080p, but i got a 3060 ti ❤️

[vague island]

have you watched chernobyl by hbo

I just want my game to look like that

realistic colors nothing too vivid

[frigid spade]

upscaling gives me the DLSS resolution "smoothing" thing in nvidia control panel

yeah haha i love it

i really like that aesthetic, thought about making a new reshade to model after that.

[vague island]

yeah I tried upscaling it looks so good removes aliasing

but i only have gtx 970

[frigid spade]

the one im running now is actually meant to stay as true to the base games default settings as possible

[vague island]

i had 10 fps upscaling to 1440p

there's definitely chromatic aberration

I hate it

[frigid spade]

its definitely a tad more vibrant with higher contrast, but the color is the same

[vague island]

like the glow on the edges of my weapon

[frigid spade]

thats called bokeh

it takes light sources and adds a bloom like blur to them

[vague island]

hmmm

i usually like DoF

but subtle

and soft

[frigid spade]

yeah he def went heavy on it

i have been meaning to dive in to it and make it my own but havent got around to it cuz i do like the default enough to just play the game for now

[versed night]

this makes no sense to me but i'll play with it But under which effect should i mess with in reshade? Only just recently got my pc and net setup at the new house so i haven't played with my own reshade settings yet

[frigid spade]

checked those screens, looks like you def want some exposure

[glacial spear]

there is a parameter JPEGQuality=90 in reshade.ini - Is this the max quality?

[versed night]

I was just looking at your ss in screenshots. Someone needs to write a guide for the new SSS with the new exes you need

[frigid spade]

save in png

[frigid spade]

the exe's are in D:\GAMMA INSTALL FOLDER\mods\190- Screen Space Shaders - Ascii1457

put them in the normal anomaly folder

[glacial spear]

will try, but I was having a problem with my custom modpack whereby I could only save in jpeg.

[frigid spade]

then do this

then turn off shader cumulative pack in MO2

[versed night]

i dont have exes in there

[frigid spade]

download the new moddb SSS mod

and replace that folder with the new folder

then do the exe thing

shader cumulative pack will override the changes of the new mod if you dont disable it as well dont forget that, and it should work from there.

the exe's will be in the new moddb download

[vague island]

Its working for me tho I didnt disable that

[frigid spade]

your load order

it basically is disabled

[vague island]

And I put it under shaders cumulative pack as hippo said

[frigid spade]

yeah

all that does is entirely overwrite it

[vague island]

Its under it tho

Not above it

[frigid spade]

you can right click, go to info and see that SSS is totally overwriting it

[vague island]

Aight

[versed night]

got a link to this i can get to later on, not at pc rn

[vague island]

Im getting a hang of stalker modding

Its nice and simpler

[frigid spade]

theres nothing in the shader cumulative pack that i could see that the new sss mod doesnt do so its redundant regardless unless ive missed something

[frigid spade]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/screen-space-shaders

[versed night]

and when installing this, disable 190 and put this in it's place? What options do i pick for install? I should proabably wait to do this until i get home, i only got a mouse via remote connection to home pc lmao

also isn't this being put in the next gamma update?

[vague island]

winning conflict means

those are the files the update overwrites right?

or the otherway around

[frigid spade]

the file you clicked info on is overwriting shaders cumulative

entirely

so ya, you can disable it or just change load order

[frigid spade]

pick all options except experimental shadows, you can try shadows later if you want but for now do it like that.

and yeah, then follow all the other steps i listed

[full crown]

The new update only adds weapon dof and better puddles?

[frigid spade]

and some other stuff and it restructured a lot of the mods format in the folder to be ready for future updates(not something youll notice)

also claims to have improved reflections

not just puddles

[full crown]

I'm going to regret updating it because I'm going to break something that will take me hours to fix again 😄

[frigid spade]

if you follow all of my above instruction to a T it WILL work

be brave ❤️

backup everything

if you change something, back it up

have a folder inside each folder that says "old"

[versed night]

you can also rename your files with .disabled then drop in the new stuff, or move it to a newly made folder named backup or old like ethan said

[frigid spade]

yep

[full crown]

yeah, I usually do that. But I always end up being stubborn and fix things for hours until I have the new one.

[frigid spade]

haha

[versed night]

just double checking, LVutner's shader corner shadow fix is fine to leave on? Looks like it's overwritting something in the new SSS mod, under GAMMA fixes

[frigid spade]

yep fine

that said im pretty sure the fix is redundant now cuz its in the new SSS mod but ya

mines still on

oh sweet, the most recent hotfix has better peripheral blur, not as dramatic

its more gradual

[versed night]

so im looking in the shadow.h file. Seems there's more included in the SSS one. Might wanna give it a test to disable the one in gamma fixes

[frigid spade]

yeah i had a feeling there may have been, i think ill do the same rn to find out

[versed night]

let us know. I can't test myself rn, i can just install the stuff and have it ready when i go home lol

[frigid spade]

from what i can tell there is more in the SSS mod fix, but im unsure of the specifics cuz its beyond me what it all does, some of it i get, some i dont

[full crown]

hm, after adding it I noticed the fixed scope and when I aim down sights for the first time there was some weird blur on the top of my screen. But after that no weapon dof.

[frigid spade]

thats because you didnt follow the instruction to a T 😛

[frigid spade]

you have to disable a specific file in GAMMA UI mod

[rich sentinel]

Filmic Plus

Filmic Pass

[frigid spade]

go in the gamma ui mod folder and put that file in a folder(back it up) or delete it

[rich sentinel]

Ethan preset

[full crown]

To be honest, I was just following my logic as I have no idea which instructions you mean 😄 This chat log is pretty long.

[frigid spade]

i like how fire looks better in mine for sure, but that top one has a nice green hue almost like the chernobyl show

[frigid spade]

haha

[frigid spade]

theres an image i put above of what lauta_ro said, that part is important

[full crown]

Thanks, that's what was missing. But as I expected, the outcome is very unpractical. At least at standard settings.

[frigid spade]

oh are you lagging?

[full crown]

no, I just cant see shit with all the blur 😄

[frigid spade]

blur is only there when you reload? the blur on the wep doesnt cloud any of the actual stuff downrange

i mean theres always some on the wep but its only near the butt/scope

[full crown]

No, I have blur when aiming down sights. Severe blur

[frigid spade]

thats not right

should look like this

blur on the wep not on anything else

im wondering what you did wrong..

[rich sentinel]

I like the shadows on your preset, but it would need some fixing for outside, too dark on the sky and the lights

But indoors are nice

[versed night]

I manage to launch with and idk what happen but last night i was on with 70fps, loaded in same area, 100fps

new SSS better performance too?

[rich sentinel]

Could be weather, foggy gives FPS for instance

[full crown]

Switching from borderless to fullscreen fixed it.

[frigid spade]

huh

[full crown]

It looked like this in borderless. After switching to fullscreen it's good.

https://i.imgur.com/QdvJJ0l.jpeg

lol, I think I know why... Because it reloads the shaders. Sometimes I'm a dummy.

[sick wigeon]

I just updated SSS and noticed the same thing, got way better performance. Like at least +20 fps

[versed night]

time to max everything again

[sick wigeon]

And I'm in Rostok during the rain

[frigid spade]

wow i just updated and i did too

awesome

[rich sentinel]

How did you guys updated, overwrite files or another addon on MO2?

[outer bolt]

Remove old mod then install new updated one.

[mint owl]

That's like cool and all but where are my glasses ? x)

[mint owl]

Blue tint

[leaden linden]

It's the new dof effect from E.S man. A tweaked version.

[mint owl]

Yeah I know, just joking but I've never liked DoF to be honest

Realistic yes, but if I want to escaoe my glasses irl, oh look, it's the same damn blurry vision in game

[leaden linden]

I feel you man... I like the dof applied in dialogs though. But, reloading, pda, etc. Don't know but seems too much. Let's see how it goes in a long gameplay session this sunday

[rich sentinel]

Tweaking a ~natural~ preset

[manic sage]

This is good i like this

What are the effects? And is this the filmic plus preset?

[rich sentinel]

No, made another with the levelsplus/lightroom tweaking

[manic sage]

How’s the sky with delc sharpen?

I stopped because the sky became grainy with the contrast enhancer setting

[rich sentinel]

I could try the AMD or rj_sharpen to test it

[manic sage]

You don’t like contrast sharpen?

Show me your delc sharpen settings

[rich sentinel]

I don't have it, not on reshade atleast.

[rich sentinel]

Looks like Prod LumaSharpen doesn't effect the skies

[rich sentinel]

Filmic pass

Filmic Plus

[mint owl]

1st is without pass ?

[rich sentinel]

First is the Blooming dream above, and without pass

[brazen pagoda]

i updated the screenspaceshaders and i get this error

[rich sentinel]

Disable shader cumulative pack

[turbid wave]

Do you disable the ASCII shaders and the ES shaders too?

[rich sentinel]

ASCII is SSS, same thing, enhanced shaders are compatible, just load SSS last

[turbid wave]

Cool. Thanks

[rich sentinel]

And yes, if you updated the SSS, disable the other one

[turbid wave]

Wait, so disable ASCII?

[rich sentinel]

Yup, you would be loading the same shaders

With different versions

[turbid wave]

so just have ES and the update enabled right?

[rich sentinel]

Yes.

[turbid wave]

Is it ok to just use the .exe's from the update? Or do you have to use the github versions?

[rich sentinel]

I'm using the ones from the zip, working fine

[turbid wave]

Just copy/paste them over right?

[rich sentinel]

If there's any difference between the SSS and github, then you need to ask the professionals

[neat kite]

hey dyn can u help me make my game look like yours lol sorry for hoping in here mid convo

[brazen pagoda]

I deactivated it and still the same

[brazen pagoda]

I deactivated and drop the same error

[rich sentinel]

I can help, your game will not look like mine, can be resembling, but I'm going off in 5 minutes, can help you tomorrow if you want

[sick wigeon]

Make sure you clear your shader cache. I was getting this because I forgot to do that.

[neat kite]

please do

[mint owl]

This one is still better, I find the shadows a bit too dark on the 1st and the sky too saturated on the 3rd

[neat kite]

i added as friend

[rich sentinel]

No worries, will DM you tomorrow when I can

[neat kite]

if u dont mind me asking what are ur specs ?

[rich sentinel]

Hippo also liked this preset, great minds think alike

[mint owl]

[brazen pagoda]

I was able to, enter the game without shaders and put the graphics on low and save and reload the game with the shaders and the error was removed

[astral halo]

Can you get gamma levels and reshades on keybinds to quick swap?

[brazen pagoda]

Is there a graphic option that conflicts with the shaders?

[mint owl]

For Reshade presets yes, but it's not working properly when switching them

[astral halo]

Ah alright. I'd love to be able to switch gamma and reshades quick like that as time and weather permits. I think ark has something like this

[mint owl]

Best is to take a picture, press esc then switch preset and do the screen again

Stalker is maybe too old honestly for that x)

[astral halo]

Yeah I haven't gotten this into a game that's this "old." Struggle trying to constantly adjust settings to make it look how I might want it but it just might not be possible. I dont know much about game engines and stuff.

[drifting shore]

What reshade makes the game look the most crisp?

[slow forum]

What order do I need to put these into valid this?

I’m not even sure if it’s installed at all. I can’t find the source. I know I need to replace my current reshade-shaders with this one and etc, but I can’t even access where they are. I would download aggressor from moddb but I’m not sure if it will load properly considering it wouldn’t be from MO

[vague island]

Yeah it does look a bit blueish, more apparent in cloudy weathers

[brazen pagoda]

What do I enable so that my shader looks like this?

[vague island]

Tho I feel like it balances out the warmth in autumn harmony

[sick wigeon]

That's in the new update for SSS. If you are talking about the DOF effect.

[brazen pagoda]

I already installed the latest version 12.1 and it does not look like this

[sick wigeon]

So if you reload it doesn't look like that?

[brazen pagoda]

Nope

[sick wigeon]

Check your MCM settings. Make sure it's enabled

[brazen pagoda]

yes, I even tried deactivating and activating and nothing

[sick wigeon]

Did you do this?

[brazen pagoda]

Nop i'm going to do it

[sick wigeon]

That's probably your issue

[brazen pagoda]

I already did it but still the same

[sick wigeon]

Hmmmm..... Did you clear shader cache? And you got the new modded exes right?

[brazen pagoda]

yes!

[echo hawk]

Anyone knows about blue sunshafts when using volumetric in settings?

[sick wigeon]

Last thing I could think of would be the load order.

[echo hawk]

Oh it's when I changed the warm grading cfg to another preset.

[brazen pagoda]

it's like this

[sick wigeon]

Is this still enabled? If it is, disable it and clear shader cache before launching the game.

[brazen pagoda]

I already did it and nothing

[sick wigeon]

This is what you have SSAO set to?

After that I'm all out of ideas

[brazen pagoda]

yes is active, me too

[gray kite]

Hey guys do these texture packs run with gamma or just anomoly

and could someone maybe lend some knowledge in getting them installed correctly if they do

[mint owl]

#custom-textures

[vague island]

the blue tint is actually noticeable

its intensified by glamarye GI

but this is just due to hippo grading not made for autumn harmony right?

[silent cairn]

Which weather

Autumn harmony has an issue with clear2 weather having intense blue tint

[gray kite]

WIll adding these cool reshades and textures to gamma possibly corrupt my saves?

[mint owl]

Nope, it's theorically caused by the weather Clear2 from Fabio Conte's weathers which are used by Golden Autumn Redux/Autumn Season Redux/Autumn Harmony

[vague island]

Idk, how do I check that without having debug mode enabled

[mint owl]

And this thing tend to stick around

[vague island]

aight makes sense cause I only mostly notice it during clear weathers

[mint owl]

Clearing shader cache and starting a new game multiple times until you get the blue tint aflicted one

[vague island]

so I have to have debug mode enabled xD

[gray kite]

Guys which is the best texture pack

[vague island]

fuck it then since its only on a certain weather

[gray kite]

I want my game to look like this

[vague island]

who's screenshot is this

[gray kite]

Came from Reshades

[vague island]

thats too much fov xD

[gray kite]

Any idea what texture pack?

[silent cairn]

Probably FabioConte's summer in #custom-textures

[gray kite]

ty

will check it out

[vague island]

managed to tweak my aiming DoF to be subtle

feels good and looks nice

regular dof super subtle as well feels natural

[zealous dagger]

VERY subtle my dude, too subtle for me

[vague island]

I want it to be not really noticeable but its there

just softens peripherals a bit

[zealous dagger]

Where do you tweak it in the shader menu?

[zealous dagger]

Yeah its kinda too much in base settings

[vague island]

SSS in mcm

[zealous dagger]

Ah, of course, thanks

[vague island]

blue tint appears when im not under the sun

or intensified

[silent cairn]

It's due to the hemi colors in clear2 weather

[vague island]

aight

otherwise my game looks so good now

love it im satisfied

[neat aspen]

how do u make the graphic look like this

[vague island]

altered hippo reshade and autumn harmony

also latest SSS update and github exe.s

[vague island]

read previous conversations you can see the instructions #╟🎑reshades message

[neat aspen]

wait do u need reshade then? im in the middle of installing it

[vague island]

yes

hippo's reshade in the mods posting

[neat aspen]

but there is already reshade in anomaly folder tho

[vague island]

yeah then you already have it

just install hippo over it

[past phoenix]

Anyone got reshades to use in tandem with snowy/winter mods?

[glossy pond]

Try Eden’s winter reshade maybe

Found in the same place as his regular reshade

[frigid spade]

the newest hotfix for SSS is solid af, gained fps, and the 3x cascade shadows are working for me now too, means you get farther draw distance on grass shadows and stuff

[past phoenix]

I can't find either 💀

nvm got it

no I didn't

I'm a dumbass

[glossy pond]

#🖇old-mods-posting message

You would just need to get the reshade from here and presumably the graphics settings he recommends

[pine robin]

Is Stalker expedition (graphics only) considered a reshade? If so can anyone guide me to installing it into GAMMA?

[silent cairn]

#1037753021322506240 message

[neat aspen]

looking aright but the sun lightning is blue which make no sense

[vague island]

use hippo grading

[neat aspen]

whats that, is that also a mod

[pine robin]

cheers

[rich sentinel]

Tried the new hotfix, nothing changed here, don't really know if I did something wrong

[pine robin]

do i create it like the synch save and export profiles?

[split lagoon]

does your load order look like this or should I disable the SSS from gamma?

[vague island]

yes it does

[frigid spade]

chaning up my reshade a fair bit now that ive started messing with radiantgi

super performance hungry but looks great af

you can get sky hdr/color extraction on it so it will project the color of the light on to a bloom-like effect on window sills and trees etc.

[split lagoon]

actually shaders cumultative pack is here and I needed to put SSS update below it, otherwise I'd crash
just fyi if any1 else tries it

[frigid spade]

off

on

[vague island]

ah yeah that I missed the shaders pack

should be below that or you crash

[frigid spade]

apparently it even supports subsurface scattering for skin, gotta go find a face

off (without the subsurface scattering)

on (without the subsurface scattering)

adds refractive lighting from his face to his inner hood

nice effect

light basically bounces with it

its the most expensive effect on my list by far though

gonna have to go through a buuuunch of testing at all weathers now though, changed everything so much haha

[silent cairn]

I never managed to make radiantgi look more than a glorified bloom on grass

[frigid spade]

the key dif jaku is that light sources that aren't on your screen can cast a color extracted ray at surfaces, so you can wind up with a sunset outside a window casting it's orange lighting into a room. even with your back turned to the window, whereas bloom can be similar, but will only extract and cast that color if you are looking at the window.

think ray tracing but not reflections.

obviously a light source does this already to a degree

but this makes it happen with all bright screen sources, so the sky itself can do it

or for the example above, his skin

is bouncing light to the inside of his hood

[silent cairn]

Reshade can't really obtain out-of-screen information though

[frigid spade]

i can with dll injectors

thats what the depth buffer is for

it cant in multiplayer ofc

people used it to cheat, thats why they disabled it

unless somehow this effect is tricking me, its the only way it could provide this color info

[silent cairn]

I guess depth buffer can be used for negative values but that sounds very game dependent

[frigid spade]

what may be happening is that it only can pull from the front of the camera, like it can pull from behind objects but not whats behind, so maybe my example was incorrect.

not entirely sure. and yeah from what ive read about it it is super game dependent.

depends what info is available and where

regardless, this effect does work to add some color and lighting refraction from things like skin and the sky when things ARE on screen, thats for sure. and it looks nice imo, i particularly like how the sky color effects the lighting on the crack in the wall and the window sill in my first 2 on off posts i made above

issue with bloom is it effects stuff you dont want it too, suppose bloom could do something similar, but radiantgi is less limited

cuz its actually grabbing light source info

[silent cairn]

Oh yeah it 100% works for on-screen lights very well

[frigid spade]

at minimum theres no lights immediately available to it and it's pulling the sky color. ignore the red its from the pause button.

but thats prob just cuz it can see the depth buffer through the walls ofc and it may not be picking up the lightsource but instead the sky color. the actual sun is in fact behind my car and off screen.

its definitely picking up the fire here, even with the pause button off, fire is off screen.

at bare minimum it's picking up the light cast by the fire and then illuminates from there, giving you a second bounce at least.

[silent cairn]

Neat

I always wondered how they get the skycolor

[frigid spade]

from what i read they are able to extract info from the actual texture files.

damn the combo of ambient light and this together is EXPENSIVE wows

[frigid spade]

new reshade im working on

[manic sage]

Looks great, I feel like the lighting on the weapons should be switched, its weird that the the lighthing on the weapon under a bright sky is dark while in a darker and not as lit environment the weapon model is more lit, actually I see you had a headlamp in the second picture. So my complaint on the second picture is not valid. But my point still stands on the first picture.

thats my only complaint

Otherwise good job. What are the total effects? and what are they?

I'm currently trying to put all of my effects under quint regrade

[warped finch]

how easy is it to add a different reshade to GAMMA?

[sour oar]

Depends on the reshade obviously but usually the steps are extremely straight forward

[frigid spade]

from what i have found its almost impossible to fix that

every single combo im using is producing that issue

[manic sage]

What effects are you using?

[weary forum]

I assume it's adaptive tonemapper that's darkening the image (including gun) under the bright sky and vise versa?

[frigid spade]

its ambient light radiant gi blooming hdr curves and levels plus

[manic sage]

I'm guessing blooming hdr might do it

[frigid spade]

im trying to counter the darkening of the wep with levels plus but struggling

yeah maybe

[manic sage]

have you tried sandwhiching that between revail top and bottom

so that it only activates in certain instances

[frigid spade]

load order has the same issue regardless :/

lemme mess with it some more

[manic sage]

heres a comment I found talking about reveil

ReVeil minimizes visual artifacts like AO with Fog or DOF but, yes, It is achieved by "reducing" the effect with different algorithms to give better results than just toning down the other effectd.

I usually use it with RTGI, especially on games that have flickering/noise with it or have too mucho alpha effects/fog like GoW.

[frigid spade]

ill check it out rn

[lime wadi]

Hey guys I think trying to use the #old-framerate-optimisation may have messed up my shaders pretty badly and now the entire game is really dark. anyone know what I might do to fix my game or return it to how it was previously?

[manic sage]

yup!

[frigid spade]

interesting, radiantgi has something similar built in that is conflicting

[manic sage]

If you're using radiant gi why not use RTGI?

https://imgur.com/FcYgEUO This is Gamma with RTGI and I'm pretty sure some regrade. Not much else

Currently working on something very similar for the hippo.ltx preset

[frigid spade]

i dont have anything called rtgi??

[manic sage]

Oh right its a patreon effect from pascal forgot to mention that

[frigid spade]

pretty sure i have all effects that come with the base install

ahh

that looks fucking awesome

jelly

its working soooo well on the sun

[manic sage]

Yeah this will be an optional preset as RTGI does cost money

and I can't redistribute it

[frigid spade]

yea that makes sense

[manic sage]

but for those that have it they can get it

I won't tell you how to get RTGI for free

butttt there is a way on reddit its not the latest version

[silent cairn]

[manic sage]

see if you can find the subreddit

look there

I personally paid

[manic sage]

did I upset you....

[frigid spade]

no lolol!

i well def check it out

im just alt tabbing back and forth

[manic sage]

Oh I was replying to jaku

[frigid spade]

oh xD

[manic sage]

@silent cairn I tried out your effects yesterday top tier so far. Not as much shiny ground

I'm guessing you're waiting for gamma to include the update before you post your tweaks?

[silent cairn]

I fixed the weird shadow glitch on some guns and now I'm not really sure what else I can do for it anymore

But yeah I'm waiting for the SSS update

[manic sage]

Sounds good

[silent cairn]

Just let me know if you see something that doesn't look right

[rich sentinel]

Reflections looking good

[frigid spade]

fixing it in lightroom pretty well, ill show ya in a bit

[lavish relic]

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-gif-23395435

Same 😦

[silent cairn]

I love puddles AND I love the reload animation of L85. Is your reshade available from anywhere?

[manic sage]

Do you use any reshade Jaku?

This looks sick

[silent cairn]

Yours

[manic sage]

Is the color balance allot better now?

[silent cairn]

[manic sage]

I'm gonna send you a copy of my rtgi preset for you to test when its done

[manic sage]

like this one

[lost grove]

hello i'm looking for the hippoboot reshade

[daring crag]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1036172060969410590

[silent cairn]

Ooh I can see the rtgi on the sandbags

[manic sage]

Yeah its getting there, just need some tweaks

The thing with RTGI preset is it will not use many effects since RTGI will do much of the heavy lifting

combined with lightroom or Regrade which is the new lightroom

should be nice

[main token]

Thank you hippo for that reshade setting

[manic sage]

which one>

?

[main token]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1036172060969410590

[manic sage]

Oh you mean preset

yeah you're welcome

[main token]

https://tenor.com/bWBuG.gif

[frigid spade]

tested rtgi out before buying and it is waaaay performance heavy, 3060ti cant get 60 on any settings

looks great but daaamn

[manic sage]

Yeah but you also need to pair it with optical flow

helps with performance

from pascal patreon as well

[main token]

what is rtgi?

[frigid spade]

will that ease the performance?

[manic sage]

https://gist.github.com/martymcmodding/69c775f844124ec2c71c37541801c053

Yes

helps with motion data which RTGI needs

You can just download that and see if it helps you

[frigid spade]

huh, cool okay

yeah i just manually wrote that link out like a nerd

from the img xD

[manic sage]

lol

[rich sentinel]

This is the new preset I've been tweaking

[rich sentinel]

Can send to you if you want

[silent cairn]

I would like to take a look at it if you don't mind

[vague island]

anyone know what that weird light on top of the roof is?

it moves as I move my mouse

[manic sage]

Also RTGI helps with the weird fog that sometimes looks weird around the trees

I'm sure everyone has seen that

[manic sage]

me too if you have changed anything since you sent it hours ago. I'm at school now will mess with it later

[frigid spade]

gave me like 3 fps on min settings, at 53 fps, maybe if i lower in game settings i suppose

may be worth

surprised how gnarly its eating 3060 ti lol

[manic sage]

Ray tracing is heavy

[rich sentinel]

Been making some changes, looks like outskirts are a nice place for balancing the shadows

[manic sage]

my 3080 has been able to deal with it okay as long as I don't go too crazy on the settings and layer a bunch of unneeded effects on it

[manic sage]

Textures not liking SSS

[frigid spade]

im overclocked and everything, hoped at least lowest settings could work but it seems even a single step and a single sample is too much

unfortunately it has built in ambient occlusion which i think is pwning it cause i cant turn it off and im already running heavy ao in the game engine

[vague island]

hmmm so it cant be fixed currently

[frigid spade]

maybe if i disable that

turning grass down worked, but i love my grass >___<

actually found some settings that do look nice and work hmm

tbh despite less grass idk if i can live without this lighting now

[manic sage]

lol

[frigid spade]

yo so im noticing it actually breaks 2d scopes

[manic sage]

Really?

picture?

[frigid spade]

theres an offset ambient occlusion shadow from a depth buffer problem

[frigid spade]

happens with ambient occlusion used in reshade now in any form, since sss mod update

[manic sage]

Wait this might be a dumb moment but can you point out the issue?

I'm also on my phone

[frigid spade]

make it bigger

and zoom on the tree

to the left

very very noticeable when you are actually adsing something

[manic sage]

oh its completely in the shadow?

[frigid spade]

theres a second tree's ambient occlusion

just the occlusion

to the right of the tree

[manic sage]

I'll have to take a look later

[frigid spade]

unfortunately setting ambient occlusion to 0 doesnt fix it

[waxen elm]

Hey I'm kind of new to reshade and have been messing with a few presets to get a washed out fallout 1/2 kind of look. Only issue is the HUD colours are a bit flat... is it possible to tweak the HUD colours without affecting the rest of it?

[manic sage]

Ui mask i believe

[waxen elm]

cool, I will play with that and see what I can work out. Thanks!

[bitter edge]

why does my game look so vanilla? are the shaders even on? I got all the settings on on reshade ingame

[vague island]

Which effect is this

I noticed this with glamarye ao

But with hippos preset using glamarye i havent seen it at all even with AO enabled

[frigid spade]

oh man my head

[frigid spade]

its doing it with any type of ambient occlusion and unfortunately RTGI has built in ambient occlusion. you can only use SSS mod built in ambient occlusion

[swift robin]

someone can send to me his shader settings pls

???

[vague island]

Think its fixable, hippo fixed it in glamarye

I remember someone talking it was about the AO shine, tried to tweak that setting but it was still there

[frigid spade]

i'd imagine it is, it seems to be trying to use the depth buffer in the wrong way

[vague island]

And was surprised hippo managed to fix if

[frigid spade]

i showed it happening from rtgi to them a few minutes ago so we'll see.

Stalkerlands lol

[manic sage]

I’ll demo it when i get home

[drifting shore]

Who spots the bloodsucker?

TERRIFYING

[frigid spade]

had to go back to radiantgi because of the depth buffer issue messing with 2d scopes, feel like it looks decent though

[lavish relic]

Damn you all showing off these beautiful shots 😢

[frigid spade]

lol

[echo hawk]

You guys play with volumetric on or off?

[sick wigeon]

Did you tweak any of the SSS settings?

[frigid spade]

i did yeah, a lot

forgot to mention that, i should prob link those if you want it to look like that

GAMMA\mods\190- Screen Space Shaders - Ascii1457\gamedata\shaders\r3

[sour oar]

On, always

I play with Golden Autumn Redux so it’s literally needed

So I don’t blind myself looking at the moon

[echo hawk]

Well I'm asking because turning it on causes blue sunshafts

[frigid spade]

radiation

[sick wigeon]

How much does enabling the second pass kill your fps?

[frigid spade]

for my 3060 ti, not much

[sour oar]

Blue?

[echo hawk]

Yup. I'm playing with Piknik reshade and I changed color grading to the default one and unfortunately changing the grading preset affect the sunshafts and made them blue

[quartz breach]

cant get the bhs and that white dot to go away

[sick wigeon]

Press H for bhs, that dot is from the stealth mod

[quartz breach]

screenshot v2

thanks pally

[sick wigeon]

Much better

[frigid spade]

fixed another issue to the guy who was asking for this, recommend grabbing this one

[versed night]

https://i.imgur.com/XrAv9fW.jpeg Is everything suppose to look this shiny? Ik it's raining rn, but ground still looks shiny even on clear days

https://i.imgur.com/wF9nafa.jpeg

[swift robin]

i think that's because of the wet surface setting?

also a question for new sss users, how is my performance gonna be affected by rain puddles?

[versed night]

Honestly i think it's still follows the brighter/more light in your screen, the lower the fps

[heady pebble]

Load the SSS shader update update after the older version (190) and hide all conflicting shader files from "Shaders cumulative pack for GAMMA"

[versed night]

it's raining for me rn, im on 1080 atm cause im at work, and im getting between 70 to 120 fps depending where i'm looking, and im using a 3080

[versed night]

i have cumulative disabled and i did the prior

[swift robin]

gaming on company's time, a true office worker experience

[sick wigeon]

I got better FPS when I updated SSS

[frigid spade]

i just disabled vsync and gained 12 frames, minimum framerate, i was dipping to 45 and now im at 57 minimum in the same location, nothing has changed, was instant on setting flip

[frigid spade]

same

[swift robin]

me too but im asking about the rain puddles option specifically

[sick wigeon]

On the default settings, I didn't notice any change

[heady pebble]

Any shader files active from GTR?

[versed night]

No, just textures from GTR

[swift robin]

alr I'll reinstall it for rain puddles thanks @versed night @sick wigeon

[sick wigeon]

They are definitely worth it, makes the game look amazing. I'm debating on making them stay on all the time.

[versed night]

Oh wait. I just noticed Anomaly season has something conflicting

from autumn redux

deffer_impl_flat.ps Any clue to what this file is

[frigid spade]

beautyyy

i keep changing it lol

[sick wigeon]

What mod is it from

[frigid spade]

so hard to finalize a reshade

[versed night]

It's in SSS and 00 from anomaly seasons for Autumn redux

i changed from dead zone to autumn redux

and they are vastly different from each other

[sick wigeon]

It could be the ground texture from golden autumn not playing nicely with SSS

[versed night]

i backed up the 00 one, and im gonna copy over SSS and see what happens

yeah, i might have to ditch autumn

[heady pebble]

Puddle & wetness related

[sick wigeon]

You could just delete the ground texture

[heady pebble]

just delete or hide the AR version

[versed night]

but it looks nice

[heady pebble]

When it rains the terrain will get wet again xD

[manic sage]

The only person that has fixed this that I know off is jaku with his SSS tweaks

[versed night]

oo

lmao i load it and it's not raining, i fuckin hate this.

damn you xray

[manic sage]

That gun is really dark still even though it’s so bright every where else

And your arm not just the gun

[frigid spade]

its impossible without radiant man

[frigid spade]

or i mean RTGI

[manic sage]

Totally possible what do you mean

[frigid spade]

you cant make a reshade that has the same visual aesthetic im going for and have the gun be any lighter, ive literally capped the black level lightening i can do before i start clipping

also, its legit JUST this time of day

[versed night]

RTGI has too much impact on fps imo

specially at 1440

[frigid spade]

something about the sunset rn. the gun just goes pitch black

i cant get anything to brighten just the gun without something like RTGI

and RTGI is breaking 2d scopes sooo

been legit trying to lighten that gun for like 5 hours

[versed night]

it breaks the "press any key" screen too, you can see shadows through that menu, you can even see when you load a new area or a save, your character actual spins a 360

yeah, thats normal though. yeah i always thought the 360 was funny. all ambient occlusion added in reshade breaks 2d scopes with the new SSS update

and i get a ton of effects from that sooo

[versed night]

oh yeah and checking 2d shader scope support in mcm for SSS just breaks scopes completely, i see my esc menu when i ads LOL

[bitter edge]

What reshade should i get? My game looks like shadow of chernobyl vanilla
