╟🎑reshades

[sour oar]

So you can’t get anything to work?

[vagrant pebble]

Well i tried hippo

[manic sage]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1036360481100795924 or nightcats

[vagrant pebble]

This is hippo

but tweaked to the blue

[manic sage]

I’m curious to see what dyns and nightcats would look like on your setup if mine was the clown zone

[vagrant pebble]

well

Originally

[sour oar]

My reputation was nuked by the snig smiles cause I forgot to add screenshots for the first two hours

[vagrant pebble]

It looked bland

so i just spend like 7 mins fiddling around in the "home"

[manic sage]

Reputation is not nuked

[sour oar]

True but

When you’re searching through the reshades

[vagrant pebble]

Hmm

[manic sage]

What monitor do you run?

[vagrant pebble]

i wanna try the dyn's reshade

[vagrant pebble]

Some old ass one

[sour oar]

And you see one marked with that’s hardly trusting LMAO

[vagrant pebble]

Back from the mfing soviet era

But a decent pc

[manic sage]

Lol

[vagrant pebble]

yeah

[vagrant pebble]

Idk it's some Lg old ass monitor

[sick wigeon]

Maybe ask the mods to have 2 separate threads, one for mod posting and another for reshade

[vagrant pebble]

Perhpas one of you can help me set up the Dyn's reshade?

if you know how ofc

so i don't end up with clown zone 2.0

[sour oar]

All you should need to do is follow the instructions

[manic sage]

No I’m sorry, I’m not home but i don’t want to be responsible for my friends reshades not looking as intended on your setup. Because most of everyone’s reshade on the mod postings is good but they differ from each other

But yeah just follow the instructions

[sour oar]

Yea we all have stylized ReShades

For the most part, some are more stylized than others

Mine for example is nice and orange/red, very autumny, and I like that but others might not

[vagrant pebble]

I had some good Reshade setup But it started constatly crashing and it just reverted the changes

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/908512234458710036/981988052509548564/unknown.png this was my reshade back when i used to play efp modpack

ah the good ol times

Now im stuck with clown zone

[sour oar]

RIP

[manic sage]

lol

[manic sage]

That does look good though

[vagrant pebble]

yeah it did

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/908512234458710036/981560147975499876/unknown.png

This was aggresor or something i forgot

The Pic before disaster

[stuck grotto]

XDD what a beatiful game u got

[vagrant pebble]

clown zone

Merceneries seeing blue

Does this look better? Orange clown zone

[sour oar]

God I don’t even know

How you got to this point, genuinely

[vagrant pebble]

me neither

[sour oar]

Clearing shaders cache does nothing?

[vagrant pebble]

i just clicked a few buttons looks good, turned off the home button Fucking hell it looks ugly

[stuck grotto]

man look at my game

i used hippo reshade

[vagrant pebble]

how

[stuck grotto]

i used the insturction

and it worked

[vagrant pebble]

no shit i used the instruction too and it looked goofy

[stuck grotto]

u fucked up

simple

do it agian

[manic sage]

I’m guessing it’s your monitor not really you fucking up. It would be hard to find a reshade to look good for you out of a box with a monitor that has bad color calibration. Best bet is to make a reshade preset yourself.

Because that way you’ll guarantee it’ll look good for your setup

[vagrant pebble]

right

But it all turns out either being a clown zone

Or being just bad

[manic sage]

Right but the point I’m making is not that they are bad but that your monitor MIGHT be bad. It would be weird that every one can get the reshades to work but you can’t.

Hopefully you can make yourself a preset that looks good for your monitors calibration

[stuck grotto]

Basically what is hippo trying to say is
You on your own good luck (:

[manic sage]

But in a nice way though. Hopefully John can get his game to look good eventually

[formal kraken]

Interesting thought. But how monitor calibration is related to his screenshots?

Definitely some shader cache, settings problem

[manic sage]

Apparently they have already cleared shader cache, and are running stock gamma. So if i were to believe him and not say that they’re lying then it’s their monitor and must have some bad calibration. They even said that they’re monitor is extremely old or something.

Could be something else though, you’re right

For example if i were to uncalibrate my monitor (i used xrite) my reshade would look drastically different

[vagrant pebble]

Yes my monitor is dog shit old

But i did clear shader cache

I believe i did

I mean i downloaded your Reshade it looks like this

i downloaded Dyns reshade

it looked pretty much just like yours

so i don't know

[formal kraken]

I get your point, you’re right. But I’m not sure if screenshot can capture your hardware settings. It should get raw image from gpu, but not the final image you get on monitor

[rich sentinel]

@vagrant pebble What you should do, for starters, is calibrating your monitor with the game on vanilla, no reshade, no extra effects, then after you are satisfied, you get presets on reshade

[formal kraken]

How exactly? For gamma it’s recommended to delete shader folder manually, not via anomaly launcher checkbox

[vagrant pebble]

oh i see.

[sour oar]

If you do it the checkbox way it creates issues

[formal kraken]

!shader

[void depot]

To clean your "Shader Cache", don't use the option in the Anomaly launcher.
Go in this folder: Anomaly\appdata, you'll find a folder called shaders_cache, delete this folder and launch the game normally from MO2, using your preferred DX.

[formal kraken]

Yeah

[manic sage]

I'll include that my instructions.

[manic sage]

You're right on this, forgot about that.

[vagrant pebble]

Okay, i think that should be good enough for me

Partly weather turns into More Autumnish But i can live with it

[manic sage]

Did you edit an existing preset or create one yourself?

looks good, is this Dyns preset or yours?

[sour oar]

I think this is Dyns

[manic sage]

Yeah looks like Dyns which is nice, I'm glad he got it working if thats the case. @vagrant pebble what was the fix?

[sour oar]

He used the wrong way to clean shaders cache

I believe

[manic sage]

To be completely fair that might have been my fault. Thats how I've been doing it for a very long time now with no issues lol. I quickly changed that in my upload after I realized I was wrong.

[sour oar]

😳

[manic sage]

Yeah completely my fuck up

I changed it in the instructions as of an hour ago

The blame should be mine

[sour oar]

How could you even

We all trusted you and you betrayed us so

SHAAAAAAAMEEEE

[rich sentinel]

https://tenor.com/view/shame-go-t-game-of-thrones-walk-of-shame-shameful-gif-4949558

But no, even I didn`t put the instructions for shader clear on the TXT

But it is about another aspect, not reshade per say

[manic sage]

Its changed now

[rich sentinel]

Could be my preset, but the skies don't get fried on my end, everything looks good, besides the skies

[manic sage]

true

I've never seen your skies being like that

[rich sentinel]

Since the last weeks I take extra care to not make the skies blinding or too much contrast that the clouds disappear

Can happen on heavier filmic presets, but that still depends on what weather it is.

[manic sage]

Is it because lauta_ro pointed that out about the bloom in your skies lol?

oh wait you said last weeks

nvm

[rich sentinel]

Even now in middle of my heavy testing of weathers and effects, I can still see the clouds

[rich sentinel]

Nah, that photo for instance I got the screen just for the bloom, but 45% of screens I take with a preset in constant change

[manic sage]

True how many presets do you have now?

[rich sentinel]

Functional or WIP?

[manic sage]

I guess functional

I know WIP its 10000000000

[rich sentinel]

If you consider the classic DYN Color Select to be functional

I could say 8 to 10 effects can be used on most cases

I just didn't test them extensively

[manic sage]

Makes sense

[rich sentinel]

85% of presets I select on the WIP section works

But can happen some problems here and there, nothing I cant fix

I guess I made changes even to DYN Reborn, gotta update on the mod section

But Hippor preset, now this is some high end stuff

[manic sage]

I think the biggest thing is getting the black levels just right

I think now, thats more important than color balance

[rich sentinel]

Kinda hard, because of the variations on weather, time and shader configs

[manic sage]

but you do black levels after color balance

I have a specific save where it is low light

that I go to to perfect the black levels

[rich sentinel]

This is still a WIP here, but I'm tweaking the shadows

Named it Damn Hippo

[manic sage]

lol

[rich sentinel]

After your tweaks my whole world crumbled because most presets was made with the old grading

Now I need to make new presets to counter the new shading colours

What I want to know is why this gun is so good for reflections

[slate grotto]

converted a friend to the church of hippo this week

[shy knoll]

anyone have any tweaks they recommend for hippos reshade?

[rich sentinel]

What do you mean, hippo is already tweaked

[shy knoll]

i don't know a damn thing about how these reshades work man

[rich sentinel]

The only thing you need with reshade is the grading configs that he already made on hippor.ltx

[shy knoll]

so when i put that into my anomaly files, everything should be good to go?

[rich sentinel]

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

Follow his instructions there, and yes, good to go

[turbid vector]

Hello, I'm new here, does anyone have "Gshade" presets? I am interested in eliminating the jagged edges, I play without AA because I have an rx 570

[sour oar]

I didn’t know gshade worked on GAMMA tbh

[turbid vector]

my trees look like a wooden chainsaw xD

[turbid vector]

Well, I don't know anything about reshades, but it works, almost all the settings, I downloaded it only because I understood that it has techniques that eliminate jagged edges, I used them, but now the letters look weird

[warped finch]

I have BARELY used reshade before. how do I install a new preset? as a mod in MO2?

[sour oar]

No

Each ReShade has its own instructions

You can find them as either a user.ltx in the file or just from where you’ve downloaded the preset

[warped finch]

ok, so looks like it's the reshade-shaders folder + two inis. so if I wanted to backup the one that ships with gamma, it would be that folder + GAMMAReshade ini and Reshade ini

[zenith marsh]

anyone figure out dxvk with reshade? get an unhandled exception using reshade vulkan

[rich sentinel]

Got it to work a while ago reinstalling Reshade for Vulkan

But only DX11 no AVX

[normal gale]

Man im loving gloomAO its now one of my fav things to add to a reshade.

[zenith marsh]

have you compared performance? which do you think will run better?

[rich sentinel]

I did not compared FPS, but vulkan seems to crash less

[zenith marsh]

weird, i cant get it to work at all. get an unhandled exception on DX11 AVX and DX11

[rich sentinel]

Did you clear the shader cache folder?

[zenith marsh]

yep, same issue unfortunately

[rich sentinel]

The only reason for crashing as I could see is shader incompatibility

But I only managed to run with DX11 no AVX after reinstalling reshade for vulkan

[zenith marsh]

yea its odd ive tried a buncha times always get the exception

dxgi + d3d11 -> works
install reshade vulkan -> crash

[rich sentinel]

Can you run Vulkan without reshade?

[stuck skiff]

hey I am installing the hippos for the first time and I'm just wondering what the difference between hippoLR, hippoOLD, and hippoR is

[manic sage]

HippoLR is light reshade 5 effects by default

3 optional effects you can enable

HippoR is hippo reshade 7 effects default

you can enable many optional tweaked effects (all the effects in the middle of the enabled ones along with clairty can be enabled)

HippoR has a tweaked RTGI optional as well but you will need to get that yourself

hippoOLD is my old release for those that still want it

[full crown]

I know this is probably a bad idea but have you tried mixing mxao and rtgi? I thought it looked great but whenever I used magnified scopes I had a weird stuttering shadow so I deactivated it again.

[manic sage]

I have SSDO that you can mix

as an optional effect that you can try

[stuck skiff]

thanks

[robust token]

dlssssao

[rocky locust]

does anyone know the default shaders option?

[kindred venture]

im using the aggressor reshade and my r2_sun_lumscale_amb setting in user.ltx file wont stay, it seems like it is auto adjusting? any tips to help me set what i want?

[sour oar]

First I would suggest using a different ReShade

No uh there is a way to fix it but I can’t remember off the top of my head sorry. Just trolling

[silent cairn]

Disable dynamic tonemap from mod settings menu

[kindred venture]

[kindred venture]

thanks boss

[vagrant pebble]

the fix, was I was a dumb ass and i used the Clear shader cache via anomaly launcher not the Folder deletion

[vagrant pebble]

I'd have to play around with the blooms

Looks better i disabled the HDR blooms

But whenever i open inventory i can't see shit it's like its full transparent and every item is Hard to notice any solutions?:

[cunning vault]

What’s the best reshade with the least fps drops, running game on an rtx 3080 but still get a lot of stuttering

[lost grove]

😍

[lost grove]

there's a mod that turns the stuttering off for the most part

you can turn it on using the mod manager

[cunning vault]

You know what it’s called?

[lost grove]

it's called turn this on if you stutter

[cunning vault]

I know I’m gonna get slight stuttering what with the engine and all

[lost grove]

it's literally called that

[cunning vault]

Oh right ok haha, I’ll give it a try!

[lost grove]

under gamma fixes i think

[brave smelt]

what are those ground texturex?
or all textures in general

[mint owl]

Looks kinda like what you were aiming for with your Reshade originally ?

[vagrant pebble]

it's dyn's reshade texture i believe

[cunning thistle]

OG colours

[rich sentinel]

Disabling glamarye fix this

[rich sentinel]

There's no textures on my reshade, only effects

[mighty crescent]

Is there anything that can be improved? I'm using regular gamma reshade

[green eagle]

Can you recommend me a reshade that will make the game look more vibrant but not tank the fps too much?

I liked the look of hippo's but since it uses rtgi, it's probably too heavy

[silent cairn]

The rtgi in hippo's is optional and not enabled by default

[fallen mango]

People say hippos is very low on performance impact. There's a lighter version of it as well in the same download

[green eagle]

Oh

Nice

Thanks

[loud geode]

expedition be like

[wispy forum]

Damn, looks awesome, where can I get Hippo's preset?
I installed Agressor and tweaked down some things, but didn't really vibed with it

[fallen mango]

Check pins for download and instructions

[frigid spade]

Alright I got a new build out that should be functioning properly in #1041041642347573368 Sorry there has been so many problems.

[sour oar]

Reminds me I need to put out an update for mine lol

And maybe gather some new screenshots

[fervent escarp]

Anyone here know how good The Roadside reshade works on Gamma performance wise?

[lapis rapids]

How do you add expedition into gamma do you just copy the files to the main stalker anomaly folder or through MO2?

[manic sage]

So many good screenshots today

[whole patrol]

how u make it look so good 😿

[rich sentinel]

Only @manic sage texture pack and sun ray with reshade

[wet violet]

Autumn is over for me, started working on a reshade using Summer Redux and Michikos Weather.

editing some textures too, before and after of the asphalt.\

[silver prairie]

Bf3 reshade

its a mod for stalker

[whole patrol]

which one is better hippo light reshade or hippo reshade?

[silent cairn]

hippor

[manic sage]

Here is an RTGI demonstration for HippoR

[chrome plinth]

do you guys know any good reshade with the majestic weather mod?

[naive linden]

First impressions for NightCat's reshade are pretty good

[swift robin]

guys can I add expedition mod in gamma?

[silent cairn]

If you are willing to follow this #1037753021322506240 message

[green eagle]

I'm installing hippo's reshade, what does he mean by this?
"Navigate to your INGAME graphics settings and make sure you have are using "VOLUMETRIC."

[manic sage]

you know your game's settings? Where you tweak your graphics and such

scroll down until you see an option to select volumetric

[green eagle]

thanks

[silent cairn]

Not to be confused with either volumetric light or volumetric smoke There are a couple options with that word in there

[sour oar]

[manic sage]

I'm waiting for that promised updated

[full crown]

Has anybody an idea why my nvidia control panel settings are not used in game? I am using the correct .exe file but there is no anti-aliasing. I'm asking here because hippo always adds his settings in his reshade.

[sour oar]

I put one out but it was small

[manic sage]

They do very little, and honestly I need to change them

[sour oar]

I don’t have enough energy cause of school and being sick to do a big one lol

[manic sage]

Supposedly they only work on dx10 games and below, I will change it later today to recommend dldsr instead as that does help a bit

[full crown]

Thanks, I'm going to fiddle around a bit and see what's working.

[tidal marlin]

i think the aa setting itself in the control panel only works for dx10 and below, but the transparency/supersampling and mfaa options seem to work in dx11 as long as youve got msaa on at least 2x, and smaa off. coincidentally, ive been trying to figure out if the panel actually works all night tonight, and thats what ive found.

dldsr really does produce a better image, but the trade off can be kinda pointless compared to getting msaa working well, if youre like me and need lots of grass and shadows

tldr im getting decent results with these settings in control panel:

[frigid spade]

i keep getting these little squares on my shadows when i run em high res

[tidal marlin]

with r3_msaa 2x
and r2_smaa off

[tidal marlin]

probably the shadow map not keeping up, if youre using dsr remember youre rendering in HD/4k/8K

well not 8k, youll have a house fire instead of a computer with xray lmoa

[frigid spade]

yeah i guess so

makes sense

dldsr at 1440p

not that crazy

3060 ti

[tidal marlin]

hmm that might not be it then if its 1400

1440*

[frigid spade]

yeah idk

its only on trees

i think it could have to do with the 3x shadow exe

I cant live without that thing

[tidal marlin]

ahhh yeah thats probably it

[frigid spade]

seems to be an engine limit

[tidal marlin]

might be clashing with ao or fake hdr or something

[frigid spade]

on how many high res shadows can be drawn

nope

i can disable all that stuff and they are still there

[tidal marlin]

true

[frigid spade]

its just sun depth scale and 3x exe

probably

[tidal marlin]

yeah thats probably it, hopefully it can be refined to work better with 3x shadows

[frigid spade]

3x shadows just makes the game look sooo much better

[tidal marlin]

it really does, but those exes just arent ready yet i dont think.

[manic sage]

There is a reason why they are experimental

[frigid spade]

yea

[green eagle]

probably a dumb question, but, Is there a way to get graphics similar to expedition in gamma?

[sour oar]

You can get expedition itself I believe

I think there's a patch for it in #1035807043933720576

[silent cairn]

#1037753021322506240 message

[green eagle]

nice

thanks

what if I only want the shaders?

[sour oar]

Not used the mod but it says they're all individual components you can enable as you install

[green eagle]

oh thx

[sour oar]

Yeah

[rich sentinel]

Now the load order for the shaders to work, that I don't know

[silent cairn]

This setup works wonders but does put a heavy load on my gpu from 95 -> 81

[rich sentinel]

I guess this is the difference between gamma shader and expedition

[tidal marlin]

try bumping down to 4x and using the headroom from that on an injected aa

[late tiger]

I'm guessing the 2nd picture in that series is exp?

[rich sentinel]

First one is Exp, second is Gamma

[late tiger]

noticeable differences

[manic sage]

Now look at the sky

[rich sentinel]

You mean the colours?

[manic sage]

The bloom for expedition

@tidal marlin When I use dldsr my fps tanks heavily

1440p to 4k upscale

[rich sentinel]

You can't even use your grading tweaks on exp shader

Only with the expedition grading for it to run without the blue tint

[silent cairn]

This actually makes not a single frame difference, even with 2x it goes straight back to 95 if I disable reshade which I guess is the limit of my cpu in the given scenario

[tidal marlin]

try the 1.75x dldsr factor, it is far more forgiving

[green eagle]

the first one is expedition?

[manic sage]

Is that what you use?

[green eagle]

oh you already said it

[silent cairn]

I guess nvidia settings don't play well with reshade

[tidal marlin]

yep

[tidal marlin]

youre probably 100% right here

[manic sage]

This 1.78x?

[tidal marlin]

yep that one

the dl is deep learning, kinda like dlss

[manic sage]

Yeah I've tried it before but always tanked my fps depending on the scenario

I'll give this a shot

[tidal marlin]

i think the way it work is that it will render the extra pixels using headroom in your gpu

if youre already pushing your gpu hard, youre better off finding ways to optimise in native res

[manic sage]

Yup confirmed already pushing the gpu hard

[tidal marlin]

maybe there is also an issue with rtgi, where it is applying the effect to the higher res render

that would explain the big performance boost with no reshade on

[manic sage]

Hmm that could also be a thing

[silent cairn]

I'm inclined to believe that reshade comes first though, as the reshade screenshots don't have nvidia AA

[tidal marlin]

i notice almost no dip in frams with the lowest dsr legacy setting

[tidal marlin]

this is a really good point

[manic sage]

I think my anti aliasing is good enough at this point with 8x super sampling/transparency

The only times I notice some shimmer is in clear weather but I have clear weather for me set to rare anyway

[tidal marlin]

yeah that setting has me back on native rn, and i wouldnt know the difference except for the smoother fps

[manic sage]

Do you use ingame SMAA?

Because I've noticed reshades smaa can add shimmer in clear weather

not sure about the ingame

[tidal marlin]

one last thing i tried that might have worked (or tricked my brain) is setting mipmap bias to -1.0, quitting, deleting shader cache, opening the game again, and then changing bias back to 0. after

[manic sage]

Odd, I'll give it a shot though

[tidal marlin]

really light setting, i also found that the cloudy sky accents the edges

highlights on the textures edges, and shadows from contrast behind them, is what really gives the stalker shimmer its vibe lmao

[manic sage]

Just tried SMAA and SMAA ultra is better than off

but not sure about ultra vs low

[rich sentinel]

How about the FPS loss with SMAA ingame?

[manic sage]

2-3 fps on my end ultra vs off

smaa off

ultra

[silent cairn]

Turns out it was just the ingame msaa that killed the frames with reshade

[manic sage]

low

[manic sage]

so no msaa vs nvidia msaa + dldsr is the best bet?

[silent cairn]

dldsr doesn't make a dent to my frames at 1.78

I don't know what to set the smoothness though

or if it even matters

This tree is the last boss of your AA setup

[manic sage]

Just turned on dldsr and ingame msaa off and my game looks horrid

super jagged

Gotta tinker some more

[silent cairn]

100% smoothness

[manic sage]

lol

it's insane to m e that stalker looks the way it is but the thing that is still ancient is the AA implementation

[wet violet]

Probably at the cost of your hardware running like it's life depended on it.

My lights goes dim when I load the game...

Btw, are you guys running rtgi? I was testing a little bit but I mostly keep it off, depending on the situation I get a 20fps dip with it.

I want to take a look at Glamarye too

[silent cairn]

Only way I can access pascal's rtgi is through nvidia freestyle

Though Hippo's reshade has glamarye and optionally rtgi

[wet violet]

Oh nice, I'll take a look at it. But I feel you, having a "subscription" for rtgi is rough BUT his new CA and grading fx are well worth it.

[thick tendon]

FYI: this is fixable by going to its preprocessor settings and setting RT_ENABLE_HIGH_PERF_MODE to 1. IMO this should be the default for the gamma reshade as this shader consumes nearly 900ms at 1440p with the default settings and is the largest consumer.

(replying to an old message on this since i I found it in search)

[silent cairn]

Neat, that will be a good tip for later

[wet violet]

My preset got really performance friendly when I switched all those cc fx with lightroom

[thick tendon]

The p80 bloom shader also has a quality related preproc setting that one can set to 2 (gamma reshade uses 1) to eek out a little bit more headroom but it's not huge.

[eternal bluff]

whats your guys' DLDSR settings

hey i found your answer though

little searching

#1037753021322506240 message

[swift robin]

sweet, thx my dude

[manic sage]

This is going to be very anecdotal but this helps me the most with anti aliasing. Have been loading in and out of the same save and same weather and I notice much less shimmering when paired with 8x msaa

nothing else helps in my situation

[thick tendon]

honestly i have the best luck with game AA entirely off, SMAA ultra, no driver AA, and DSLR 1.78x or 2.25x

[glacial spear]

almost ready

[manic sage]

Is there a big update coming? What’s changing

[glacial spear]

not really a big update in terms of graphics, beside fixes. But this time around I managed to integrate the ui and their HD models and some other stuff. So it has became more like a merge project than just a coat of paint. all is optional. Just for fun obviously no pretense of any sort. But I do like the graphic and weather, my preference. I haven't tried all the amazing stuff you have posted here though, can't wait to have some time for checking out..

gameplay is 100% Gamma

[manic sage]

Sweet I want to give it a shot. The last time i tried standalone expedition (non gamma) it looked like this #╟🎑reshades message I’m curious to see how your take and port looks.

[glacial spear]

it's going to look the same if that is your issue. Unfortunately I have not managed to change the sun render (I lack skills for that sort of things), but also I don't know if I have to, since it's supposed to be a 1to1 gfx so if they do update/improve things, this will get the benefit too. On the other end, we keep looking at these screenshots of sun in the face like it is the only thing you do in the game. When you consider the whole, the gfx customization they made has it's merits imho.

[stuck grotto]

so like when its gonna be out?
your project?

[glacial spear]

my custom profile is already available to install https://discordapp.com/channels/912320241713958912/1037753021322506240/1037753021322506240 but tomorrow or Monday I'll release a new version of it. But I'll suggest to wait for it because this and the installation tool will be more easier to use

[manic sage]

It’s not the only thing we do. And I get what you’re saying but even if I’m not looking at the sun while the sun is taking up half the skybox if I’m facing in its direction it’s distracting. The rest of expeditions lighting is neat though. It’s nicely stylized.

#1004493652799799306 message

Like this is my favorite expedition shot

[thick tendon]

Not completely. Implicit antialiasing of DSR is an indirect benefit. Since one is also rendering at a higher res mesh resolution detail also goes up. This of course inherently combats aliasing as well.

[fallen mango]

Very pretty

[manic sage]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1037753021322506240

You’ll have to scroll up

[thick tendon]

With regards to DSR, one of the cool things one can do with “legacy” DSR combined with the custom dsr tool is you can also do things like render to different aspect ratios while still using the equivalent level of pixels. Example: on a 1080p display you could use 2560x1440 worth of pixels to render at 2932x1256 for 21:9 AR and the driver will do the right thing when it comes to downsampling/letterboxing. Technically this should be possible with DLDSR but the custom dsr tool hasn’t been updated for it. I used to do this trick with my projector since I can basically do whatever AR I want without worrying about bezels.

[glacial spear]

I just did some captures as I was playing right now, it can look distracting, maybe, but for me it's still not totally broken to break the immersion

[rich sentinel]

It is possible to tonedown the effect though?

[glacial spear]

god knows 😄

but when you tune it down what have you left with? you just basically playing gamma default lighting

[rich sentinel]

No, I mean in a sense of using EXP shader and lighting effects with a tweaked sun, mixing the best of both

[glacial spear]

it's a strech but I think you see my point there

[rich sentinel]

Yeah yeah

[glacial spear]

well I already put the option to disable the exp sun altogether so one can use roadside lensflares instead

because I am a nice person 🙂

more than disabling I can't do, Maybe some good samaritan can tweak the exp sun for us

[manic sage]

I’m gonna have to try this when i get home

[glacial spear]

wait the new version

[manic sage]

When?

[glacial spear]

maybe tomorrow evening or monday

[rich sentinel]

Still tweaking the lights, but all going good atm

[manic sage]

I GUESSSS I’LL HAVE TO WAIT….

[green eagle]

hey, strangerism, sorry to bother you here, but can you help me with an issue?

I posted it in the gamma exp thread

[fresh basin]

Has anyone had an issue with installing a new reshade, then the rain sounds start but the weather stays clear?

[dapper rivet]

thats not a reshade problem

[fresh basin]

yeah I just realized the rain is there you can just barely see it lol

[slate grotto]

reshade 5.5 out boys

controller support

[oblique tundra]

anyone know how i can use the Deep Expedition reshade with the GAMMA mod pack?

or if it works

[swift robin]

are there any console commands to "freeze time" so I can tweak shader settings? I'm in a dark room with a sliver of sunlight and trying to mess with the bounce lighting

[trail basin]

time_factor

set to 0

[lilac girder]

Standard debug menu weather adjustment can do this. Just don’t hit the play button after adjusting things, then it keeps time and weather frozen.

Just wanted to say how awesome the default Gamma reshade looks. I don’t know if I even want to bother changing it as it’s so good

[swift robin]

Noted, thanks. I'll give it a try when I have some time.

[ocean nexus]

I want that reshade lol

[errant burrow]

can someone help me to make my game look good?

my game looks so ugly compared to everyone else

[late tiger]

You anti-aliasing settings need some fixing that's for sure

[errant burrow]

lmaooo fr my eyes are burning

[late tiger]

also the weather impacts the way the game looks, dramatically... that looks like a fairly gloomy and foggy day

[errant burrow]

i see

[late tiger]

what reshade are you using?

[errant burrow]

huh the normal one with gamma

[late tiger]

try hippo's or eden's reshade, or dyn's and see which one you prefer

[errant burrow]

where do i get them?

[late tiger]

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

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1040976594199642162 for dyn's reshade

[errant burrow]

im checking them all

[late tiger]

#🖇old-mods-posting message for eden's reshade

[errant burrow]

what are your personal preference?

like your favorite

[late tiger]

atm I am using hippo's with RTGI - RTGI is very FPS heavy though, but it's not solely RTGI-centric and works fine without RTGI. As for favorite? they all look great and do things slightly differently

[errant burrow]

what is rtgi?

sorry man i really dont know anything

[late tiger]

"Screen-Space Ray Traced Global Illumination"

[errant burrow]

you activate it in the reshade menu?

[late tiger]

basically... budget Ray tracing for games that don't have RT support natively

[errant burrow]

ohh i see

[late tiger]

yes, if you have the shader for it - it's normally paid for, while all other reshade shaders are normally free

RadiantGI is a free version that simulates it pretty ok though

and is included in the preset 🙂

[errant burrow]

yes id prefer the free thing lmaoo

can u just tell me how do get it?

[late tiger]

go to the discord link, click pins at the top right ish, and you'll see a download link

as well as written instructions of how to implement it

[full crown]

Shouldn't SSDO and MXAO have a similar effect?

[late tiger]

that's a little out of my wheelhouse, I'm sure @manic sage could probably answer that better

[errant burrow]

ill try then, ty so much for the help man

[late tiger]

yw

[manic sage]

Yes i don’t use mxao only ssdo

[glacial spear]

Just released the new version, go grab it 😄

https://discordapp.com/channels/912320241713958912/1037753021322506240/1043964526653100153

nvm

[glossy pond]

how do u guys get weapons to reflect light so well

[random tendon]

So I've never had an issue installing a reshade before Eden.. I know its an ID-10-T error, and not something wrong with the pack. I missed a step or something important.

First I removed the mods it said to remove from the launcher.
Then I installed the Eden seasons redux.
Then the Autumn redux with the chance of snow.
(i tried with and without the main menu option)

i then moved both new mods to the first lines above the disabled separator.

I then cleared my shader cache, launched the game (everything normal so far)
The Reshade bar pops up and gets to the last 15.. then gets stuck on compiling.

If i switch profiles to the one i had aggressor installed then everything loads fine. just looks like trash because it is what it is

[random tendon]

@mint owl whenever you getta chance brotha. dummy proof readme doesn't mean "Mo3 proof" apparently

nevermind. deleted my old bin, moved the vanilla bin back over, patched it with the gamma bin. then reinstalled/updated reshade from 4. something to 5.5.

THEN i followed the steps again and its working.

Told ya it was an ID-10-T error. im dumb

[random tendon]

Holy monolith. EDEN is so much better than aggressor. 10 more frames and it looks so much better. Huge thanks

[mint owl]

Well, I would actually make some modifications to my post and packages overall if I could get anywhere near my PC but not gonna happen anytime soon

[manic sage]

Of course it's better. It's Eden we're talking about over here

[mint owl]

GAMMA is supposed to already be in the 5.x version of Reshade though

But it's definitely worth mentioning that 4.x versions could lead to installation issues

[mint owl]

For a GIGA boost in performances, you could try Hippobot's reshade preset, definitely worth trying and godly performances compared to my preset

#1036172060969410590 message

[random tendon]

i mean im running a 2070 super and 10th gen i7.. not sure why i cant manage more than 60fps. but i was at 40fps avg with aggressor

[mint owl]

All that bloom probably weighted you down

[random tendon]

and yet, yours still looks way better

[manic sage]

@silent cairn Your tweaks are legendary

[silent cairn]

I got some sweet fixes done to it yesterday

[manic sage]

Hand over that thing...your dark soul shader tweaks

[silent cairn]

Eden's reshade runs faster than agressor?

[manic sage]

I mean when you stack so much bloom, its bound to have Eden's 20 something effects beat aggressor for performance

Once Eden comes back though he could easily tighten that up to 10 or less effects with some all in one shader effects

[silent cairn]

Eden's gonna knock all the effects off from the list for same visual look

as a matter of fact you won't need any mods at all

[manic sage]

Eden's gonna port us all over to UE5.1

all praise to be Eden

@mint owl Daily reminder we miss you king

@silent cairn Whats changed with your new ESS tweaks

[silent cairn]

How rain affects things and general look of wetness and puddles

Guns should get more wet looking as the rain goes on (wetness goes up)

It did break the textures so I had to find some magical values, tell me if you ever see something weird on the guns

[manic sage]

Just loaded up your tweaks, but something I noticed before was that sometimes in certain weathers, at the end of the gun barrel I could see some haloing occuring. It wouldn't happen all the time. It wasn't the reshade. I also wasn't sure it was your tweaks and still am not. So I never bothered you about it

other than that I didn't notice anything major

[silent cairn]

If you are not sure where it comes from just notify me anyway

I'm on a mission to eliminate all the jank

[sour oar]

Can I get a link to the newest tweaks 👀

Newest released

[silent cairn]

No release yet

[sour oar]

[manic sage]

Okay I'll come to you from now on

[sour oar]

You have my eyes

Hold on

I’m sorry that was a lotr reference but now I regret it

[silent cairn]

I'm still waiting for the rest of the arsenal

[sour oar]

My point is tho, if I see anything I’ll let you know

[silent cairn]

Whatever it is, just make sure it happens with reshade effects off

[sour oar]

Umm Jaku I’m using 34 heavily modified effects, this one thing looks slightly off. Please fix

Otherwise I’m never touching your tweaks again

[manic sage]

I've also added 3 types of bloom, I figured I'd have my bases covered by having variety. You know what they say...don't put your eggs all in one basket. Anyway my gun is as bright as the sun. Were you drunk when you were making these tweaks because your tweaks have caused my retinas to burn out

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squrepants-my-eyes-eye-burn-fire-gif-4625130

[silent cairn]

[mint owl]

I'm planning less than 10 for sure x)

[mint owl]

I miss yall too, daily as well

[mint owl]

Not enough, using all bloom will melt all creation

[silent cairn]

HippoR but better (original content do not steal)

[mint owl]

I actually plan to upgrade the Reshade and use it for two separate textures repack

Well, more like one preset for each of the two repacks because they will look very different

[silent cairn]

So autumn and winter?

[mint owl]

Yesn't

I'll update Autumn Harmony and Melting Winters a bit, but I will do completely separate repacks

[random tendon]

so.. after installing eden, i can't ADS with nvg's on or it will CTD

[mint owl]

Can you try switching presets ?

And see if that works

[random tendon]

ill try that. which one should i switch to? im using the autumn season redux

[mint owl]

Try Golden Autumn Redux, is it loaded before/above Particle Cinematic VFX ?

[random tendon]

I put both right above the gamma disabled. So it's 401 and 402. vfx is 380. I'll try the golden autumn. I tried switching it to the winter preset but I still crashed

[mint owl]

Yeah, I've updated my post a few weeks ago about it

Where I point out that it really needs to be loaded before, in your case, that would be 378 & 379

[random tendon]

okay i missed that. ill try that

[mint owl]

Reason why is because GAMMA has updated a few times but I can't update my packs at the moment so best thing to do is change it in the load order

[random tendon]

gotchya. still looks amazing. 3rd person for the zoom out

still need to do some tweaks for my monitors presets, but otherwise it looked good out the box

any suggestions? i'm going for the "new vegas with color" kinda vibe

[silent cairn]

You want that yellow tint from new vegas?

[random tendon]

more like less yellow, more color

i think the yellow is good where it is in that pic. looks slightly off on my monitor but it might be the nvidia bs

[silent cairn]

I don't think eden's reshade has any yellow tint to it, you might want to try cfg_load grading_warm in console for a different color tone

[mint owl]

Isn't yellow tint the whole point of @sour oar 's reshade ?

[mint owl]

It was made with a VA panel, so IPS panels users will need to reduce the amount in level.fx

From 10 to about 4-5

[random tendon]

i will google that one. figured out the crash wasnt related to your reshade. just corrupt file. little discord searching and i found someone with the same issue with no reshade or extra mods

[silent cairn]

Example from nightcat: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1036360481100795924/1043568425512996955/AnomalyDX11_2022-11-19_18-32-38.png

[random tendon]

that looks really good, i'd opt for slighty less orange. but maybe its just the low sun doing its job

[silent cairn]

It can be found here #1036360481100795924 message

I posted a couple screenshots below that

[random tendon]

saving that for later for sure

[plucky pewter]

I've shifted from default (with SMAA) to Honda's reshade, been enjoying it though occasionally skies look pixelated.

[silent cairn]

Ah yes the compressed skyboxes

[glossy pond]

How does the light reflect off gun so well

Jealousy

[silent cairn]

What do you mean? You have my shader edits don't you?

Also that gun has really good textures

[plucky pewter]

Can confirm, Jaku shaders be good

(I will shill until they get released proper)

[silent cairn]

[errant burrow]

any tips to get my game better looking? (anything really)

[silent cairn]

#1036172060969410590 message

[errant burrow]

can i just copy the settings or anything? because i already have hippoR installed but i dont know what to activate

[plucky pewter]

I like Honda reshade, but really even default reshade looks solid with Michiko Revised + Both selection instead of just screenspace

though it really depends, I occasionally catch these moments where I'm like "Oh man, this game really looks good." and I just take a picture then and there

so I've had over time a couple of screens I took of just beautiful sunsets/etc I catch occasionally

||the game can't be made beautiful 100%||

[silent cairn]

Don't let Eden hear you say that

[plucky pewter]

there, now he won't see it

[silent cairn]

Make sure you have it properly set up by reading the instructions it came with, then try adding this texture pack #1043020993687474186 message

[errant burrow]

thank you so much man, i will try right now

[plucky pewter]

I'll probably check other options once 1.0 is out and the edited shaders are likely out

[errant burrow]

can i have your reshade settings or anything? cause what you gave me is texture pack it and doesnt change that much right?

[silent cairn]

I use hippo reshade

[errant burrow]

but like what do you activate in it?

[silent cairn]

Nothing extra? The effects come already activated

[errant burrow]

wtf really

[silent cairn]

I mean that is the point of reshade preset

[errant burrow]

i thought there were thing like bloom or things like that

oh its a preset

i need to look into it cuz i dont even see a difference

[full crown]

well, you do have to press the home button and use one of the presets.
You should not activate any of the shaders yourself but switch to a different preset at the top.

[verbal gull]

I tick on agressor reshade in MO2 but still cant choose it when I press "home" button. Any help

[full crown]

Agressor reshade in MO2 is just the textures and weather. The reshade is not included in Gamma.

[errant burrow]

so your telling me that everything is activated by default??

look nothing is activated

[full crown]

Yes, if installed correctly the specific shaders and their settings are activated by default. It's a preset after all. I'd help you more but I don't have the time right now.

[errant burrow]

its okay my friend you already helped much thank you

[manic sage]

@silent cairn Are you up for anti aliasing TFAA testing?

[silent cairn]

[manic sage]

TFAA on (with motion data) with reshade vs no reshade at all

@silent cairn look at this

The difference is night and day

but frames take a hit

I will add this optionally

@tidal marlin you should try this

[silent cairn]

It actually works

holy smokes

[manic sage]

Yes it does

Are you on for me to send you the files

[silent cairn]

Yes

[hidden hamlet]

Sorry if this is obvious, but for the mod post threads where these reshade presets are hosted, is the original top link in the post up to date (in hippo, for example), or is it necessary to search down on the thread for the author's latest work?

[full crown]

If you go for the top post via pin, most people have the updated version in the next answer to the post or right in the pinned first post.

[tribal lake]

My reshade version is still 5.02 and it looks like I can't install the new version

No wonder why rtgi doesn't work

[dreamy wren]

Browse and clic on the "Anomaly DX" you use in the bin folder where your Anomaly is instaled.

[molten hawk]

start reshade select DX versions next next uncheck then check all next next next...

[sour oar]

[manic sage]

try to reinstall from scratch

thats the only thing I can say and check shader and texture paths

I have an example in one of the folders

[opaque skiff]

ill try that

[opaque skiff]

Reinstalled it and it still came up with this

[manic sage]

show me your shader paths

[opaque skiff]

would that be in bin?

[opaque skiff]

this?

[manic sage]

no

[opaque skiff]

can you direct me where to find it

[manic sage]

there is a folder that has an image that shows an example of shader paths

I'm not on my main pc right now to help you

[eternal bluff]

sorry if this has been asked, but if you're using a custom reshade would you have to redo anything after the update?

[manic sage]

I don't know if there are any hidden changes in this update so no idea for your case. For my case it is unlikely to change anything

[opaque skiff]

where do I go from here?

[manic sage]

Labeled reshade paths

do yours match up to mind roughly? Keep in mind yours shouldn't be exactly the same as they need to be for your system

[opaque skiff]

I'm sorry if this is dumb but are you supposed to download the beta version or the other one?

[manic sage]

wait which version are you talking about?

I assumed beta

[opaque skiff]

Sorry I had the other one

[manic sage]

Oh then it should be plug and play

you shouldn't be running into any issues like that

[opaque skiff]

my bad homie 😭

[manic sage]

you're good lol

[opaque skiff]

thanks for your time though

[opaque skiff]

shit still didnt work 💀

dw about it though ill just play without them it sucks though cause they look good asf

[manic sage]

Yeah I can't help till later tonight I'm sorry

[opaque skiff]

its all good homie

[full crown]

If you have just pasted Hippos stuff in your bin folder again and again for reinstall it could possibly be that some remaining stuff is making problems.

That means deleting the reshade-shaders folder and possibly reinstalling reshade itself might fix the problem.

[opaque skiff]

alr lemme try that

[full crown]

If it doesn't work you can always delete it all again and put back Gammas reshade which is saved in your Gamma folder under .Grok's Modpack Installer/G.A.M.M.A/modpack_patches/bin

[opaque skiff]

well at least there aren't two Solaris's now 😭

dont make no sense

imma just uninstall everything with hippos and go from there

nothing really works so imma just play for rn and see if restarting my pc works

[full crown]

I'm a noob myself but maybe the shaders just didn't compile because you didn't delete the shader cache? So it simply didn't update at all since your first time?

[opaque skiff]

I did but I can try again

when are you supposed to do it cause I do it right before i load up the game like the tut says

[full crown]

Every time you change something regarding the shaders. But it seems you did.

[opaque skiff]

guess im going with a different shader pack

[slate grotto]

u using 5.5?

[opaque skiff]

?

5.5?

[slate grotto]

reshade version

or the normal one from gamma?

[opaque skiff]

the normal one from gamma

do you have to update it?

[slate grotto]

nah it should work normally with the included one

[full crown]

If you are using the normal one this could actually have an effect on your shader paths. So Hippos first hunch that your shader paths are messed up is probably correct.

[slate grotto]

got a clear install on my pc to check and looks like the paths are normal if you have a clear install and add the shaders later

dunno

but it's something worth to check it

[full crown]

Stable hippos reshade only has 4 paths to check: https://i.imgur.com/cZC5xSY.png

lol, I should probably rather say Hippos stable reshade, but I'm keeping the funny word mixup

[slate grotto]

maybe it's trying to access the path like the shaders were put directly on only one folder

[full crown]

You mean quint and pd80 in the Shaders folder?

[slate grotto]

yeah

[full crown]

Or they are missing entirely. Had that happen before and had to manually add them.

[opaque skiff]

look I have no clue what to do

check the file path in game?

im guessing

[full crown]

No, look at the screenshot above. I missed the upper part so that's probably confusing

If you are ingame and press your home button

go to settings

There you will see all the shader and texture paths Reshade is looking for.

[full crown]

PD80 is missing

click the + and add PD80

[opaque skiff]

thats it?

[full crown]

Well, at least that's what is different to my setup and I run hippor

[slate grotto]

it should do

just remember to delete shader cache just to make sure nothing is iffy next boot

[opaque skiff]

nope

still not

[full crown]

Well, the nuclear solution would be deleting your bin folder, pasting in the bin folder from your .Groks Modpack Installer folder and then install Hippos reshade again. This way you have a clean Gamma reshade install and a clean Hippo reshade install. Because according to your settings you seem to have had a few other shaders installed before you tried hippos.

I remember installing Edens reshade for the first time and it only installed 16 of the 23(?) shaders correctly no matter what I did. Then I used the nuclear solution 😄

[opaque skiff]

now the damn game wont even start 😭

[full crown]

What? So you deleted the bin folder and pasted back in the one from .Grok's Modpack Installer/G.A.M.M.A/modpack_patches/

[opaque skiff]

yup

just says preparing vfs at 99% it cuts out then doesnt load up the game

[full crown]

What is saying that. MO2?

[opaque skiff]

yeah

[full crown]

There could be many reasons for that although I have never heard of this happening. If you didn't make a backup of your previous bin folder you should be able to restore it through your recycle bin

[opaque skiff]

im deleting gamma

reinstalling it

dw about it thanks for your help though

[full crown]

Very weird as the bin folder from .Groks modpack installer is the original bin folder. Well at least you get the newest update 😄

[slate grotto]

wait what

strange

[late river]

quick question, i’ve seen others game look super cool and pretty but mine still looks the same as vanilla anomaly, i have all the graphics settings maxed out pretty much so am i supposed to toggle something in the reshade menu?

[sour oar]

Most people use presets yeah

Whether they create them personally or just download them. Is there a particular ‘style’ you’re interested in for your game?

[late river]

ah that makes sense, i started going through the reshade menu and testing stuff out and got to what i was looking for thanks for responding tho!

i also realized i was looking at Expedition game play rather than GAMMA 🤦‍♂️

[sour oar]

[twilit tangle]

does any of you guys have any idea why the sun gets super bright during the w_storm1 and w_storm2 when i change the weather using the debug mode ?

[sour oar]

just a debug thing

known issue

[twilit tangle]

ok so during the game if i get a storm it should be fine ?

[sour oar]

closing the weather window usually fixes it for me

yeah

[twilit tangle]

i was testing out the reshade and i was kinda worried because it looks good but if it was like this during storms i couldnt use it

[molten hawk]

weather in debug mod are.... fuc***** 🙂

in normal game weather will be fine.

[twilit tangle]

got you at least i get to have an idea of what it would look like

[molten hawk]

yes ^^ the best is to start a new game hope to get sun and from there work on reshade effect.

[sour oar]

from my experience the issue only triggers when you actively switch from any weather to storm

not the other way around

[molten hawk]

from my experience just avoid debug mod if you want to set a reshade. thats all.

[twilit tangle]

this is literally what i was looking at

[twilit tangle]

yeah it only happened when i changed it to storm

it got gradually worse

[sour oar]

this is very subjective obviously but i think debug mode is a giant help for reshade. its really easy to make a reshade that looks good in ONE weather, but you won't know if it looks good in all others (easily) without debug

plus demo_record 1 is really nice

[twilit tangle]

i think i messed up my game now everything seems 2 bright

[sour oar]

well whatever you did, you managed to replicate Aggressor

[twilit tangle]

all good now closed the game and opened it again and it came back to normal

[opaque skiff]

@full crown got it to work, my dumb ass replaced the original reshade-shaders file with the new one instead of deleting and then pasting it in 😭

i thank you for your patience with me I felt stupid all the way through

[twilit tangle]

hello guys ive noticed that im getting ghosting on my game it didn't happened before or at least it wasn't so noticeable im running the game at 100 fps my monitor is 164 hz so i don't see what could be causing this any ideas ?

[keen garnet]

can anyone point me to how i can enable aa within reshade? i'm not too familiar with it

[mighty crescent]

how do I get rid of these lines

[vestal furnace]

so the retexture frozen zone, its only a retexture right? no gameplay changes?

[analog pagoda]

hey guys
can i have your setting shader from Gamma EXT
I want to consult about setting

[primal verge]

By increasing SSAO quality, tho i doubt it will help much as its a typical ssao problem

[mighty crescent]

I'll try that tomorrow ty

[silent cairn]

#╟🎑reshades message

[hasty siren]

where would one look for reshades?

[fallen mango]

#1035807043933720576 is a good start

[hasty siren]

ty

[hasty siren]

anyone know a fix i installed a shader and i'm left with nothing

[tidal marlin]

check that reshade isn’t looking for ini files in your gamma/overwrite folder, it need to be the anomaly/bin folder

[slate grotto]

@opaque skiff yo did your setup work after reinstall?

[random tendon]

ohh dear Reshade Genie, how would i go about making my ingame look like my remastered screenshot i'm using for my wallpaper? i used Snapseed and added clarity and a reshade called "Accentuate", which im not sure what it does, but it makes the full moon lighting look better IMO

first pic is HippoR

second is HippoR with Snapseed(google photoshop) remaster

[tidal marlin]

bump the ray length up in rtgi, and then the saturation and/or vibrance regrade (or any colour correcting fx you think will work nicely on midtones)

[random tendon]

okay RTGi is the one part of Hippo i didnt download or select. using all the other optionals. I'm really digging how i was able to get the moonlight shadows and the Statue silhouette to pop a little more.

makes NVGs look amazing too, didnt do a remaster of a screenshot with them yet though. trying to get nighttime to looks how i want it without nods. i play mostly at night

[tidal marlin]

are you using radiant gi? it should have a somewhat equivalent setting

[random tendon]

ill relaunch and see. uno momento

I'm not. Should I download rtgi or radiant? I have it on "dark nights" setting, if that matters

[lapis rapids]

hey, i'm trying to fix indoor brightness by playing around with r2_sun_lumscale_amb but it switches back to the default seconds after i change it, any ideas on how the fix this? Im using agressor reshade fyi

[random tendon]

With aggressor I think you need to turn off dynamic tone map in mcm or it'll reset console inputs

Main reason I switched

[lapis rapids]

whats mcm? and what did you switch too

[random tendon]

HippoR with texture pack, and increased fps by 15-25 and looks 10x better.

the MCM settings.

Can be found in the #1035807043933720576

[lapis rapids]

HippoR i dont think i've heard of that could you provide a link?

[random tendon]

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

the texture pack is large but awesome. its the ageda one a few mods below that listing

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1043020993687474186

[lapis rapids]

thanks a bunch :))

[random tendon]

@tidal marlin found a..legit.. version of RTGI .33. gonna try this out. looks awesome from what i was seeing online

[random tendon]

Follow the instructions when it comes to what mods to untick. I missed that part...

[lapis rapids]

will do

[lapis rapids]

Also any idea on how to remove the reshades?

[random tendon]

Delete the reshade-shaders folder and any old .ini files from aggressor.

[glossy pond]

Don’t use agressor

Midgressor

[random tendon]

Thats what we're fixing for him now. Switching him to hipppo

[glossy pond]

Hippos reshade has instructions

[glossy pond]

Also check dm pls

[glossy pond]

do i need to reinstall my reshade shaders n shit with the new update

[ivory ledge]

should i update reshade to 5.5.0?

[twilit tangle]

you can find some in #1035807043933720576 https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1044710357383520266 https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1036172060969410590

[narrow dagger]

hi there is someone who can find me the best reshade for gamma plssss

[random tendon]

#1035807043933720576 and then find hippo. Use his texture pack as well if your potato can handle it

[buoyant falcon]

got shome message to update 5.5, how to do that? sorry if wrong channel

reshade that is

[random tendon]

uninstall reshade and reinstall the new version on reshade.me

[buoyant falcon]

by uninstall you mean delete some folder or somegui staff?

[random tendon]

@tidal marlin i did some tweaking, finally got the night sky and moon rays where i want them.. now to make sure daytime doesnt look like shite. although, i rarely play during the day

[random tendon]

what i do, is grab the vanilla bin file from the the gamma zips in the folder with groks installer, and place it in my anomaly folder, then i delete the reshade-shaders folder and install the newest version of reshade from the website.

i might be doing it wrong or the long way, but its what i been doing since oblivion

@tidal marlin if i turn on that Glamrye fast effects option, this is what happens with nods on.. otherwise, it makes the game look better without nods.. but with nods.. yeah

no glamyr effect.. no wierdness with nvg's

working on the HDR and curves currently. waiting on daytime so i can see how fuckd it looks

[full crown]

If you just want to update reshade you can simply download the newest version online and run it. Choose the anomaly.exe you are using to start the game and pick modify. After that you can just keep skip every option. Nothing else is needed.

[opaque skiff]

yeah think i just replaced the file which added two solaris shaders which I should have just deleted the original reshade-shaders file and then pasted it in

[violet cloud]

how do i download the hippo reshade?

cant find the link anywhere

[turbid wave]

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

check pins

[turbid vector]

hi, someone have a link to the default g.a.m.m.a reshade ini?

I accidentally deleted it and now I no longer have it, not even with "full installation"

[random tendon]

My edited Hippo sunrise vs. stock HippoR sunrise w/extra options

now waiting on mid day. got some troops to send across the map in the meantime. monolith been gaining ground while i edit lol

[random tendon]

download all addons first?

[manic sage]

is this the latest beta release?

Because the effects look old I don't use blooming HDR anymore

[full crown]

You should still have it in .Grok's Modpack Installer/G.A.M.M.A/modpack_patches/bin

I doubt you deleted that one

[random tendon]

I downloaded the most recent file on #1035807043933720576 and used the HippoR

[manic sage]

And load order is different but your skybox looks really good

[manic sage]

Stable version? If so then that makes sense

[molten hawk]

@manic sage did you receive my mp ?

[random tendon]

With your load order, NVGs had a weird bug. I posted a pic earlier

[random tendon]

Indeed. Most recent stable.

[manic sage]

That's weird I never had that

[molten hawk]

clarityradius to 2 and linear light btw

[manic sage]

What did you send?

[molten hawk]

idk check your mp ? 😄

claritystrenght to 0.100

1.000 will eat lot of frame.

[manic sage]

#1036172060969410590 message this is the beta build

[molten hawk]

0.085 already does the job.

i cant even play actually with the fucked up colours i have so not gonna try anything..

[manic sage]

That's cool but clarity is an optional effect but I'll look into it

Thank you you're probably right

[molten hawk]

i know but clarity is powerfull.

i am i know clarity... ^^

[random tendon]

When I changed the order a bit, it went away. It was tied to glamarye fast

[molten hawk]

clarityradius to 2 blendmode > linear light and strenght > minimum 0.085

1.000 is hella fuck too much.

[manic sage]

That's actually a coincidence because the load order of glamaraye has changed on beta build as well

[molten hawk]

@manic sage if you dont want to help me, do you someone that would be willing to ?

[manic sage]

I'm confused? I'm not at my PC

Did you dm me?

[turbid vector]

thank you =), I found it there

[molten hawk]

i did yes.

[random tendon]

Interesting. Still playing with it a bit. Nights are my thing so I tweaked for those and nods first. Working on mid-day and afternoon now

[molten hawk]

for night you can use levels to 1 or 2 and white well... keep it at 255, its a simple but effective effect for... white and dark colours only.

[random tendon]

I'm more focused on fires, anomaly lighting, and the moon shadows

[turbid vector]

Does anyone know of a good reshade that doesn't consume much? i have rx 570 8gb, 8gb ram, ryzen 3 2200g

[molten hawk]

you can make something simple...

Clarity level vibrance.

vibrance at around 0.80 to 0.85 avoid over saturations is uggly..

[manic sage]

#1036172060969410590 message half the reason I updated

[molten hawk]

complexe reshade will eat frame. but you can try..

[random tendon]

I'm over here on .6 tryna make the old build work....

[turbid vector]

thanks, I'm going to write it down, I usually have 60/80 fps without reshade, but it doesn't look very good

[molten hawk]

thats why you need a basic reshade but basic wont means shit. @turbid vector you can have great result with those 3 effect only.

[limpid bone]

new SSS release adds debanding shader to skybox: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/screen-space-shaders

[molten hawk]

clarity level vibrance, its basic but still it can improve.

@turbid vector clarityradius to 2 blendmode > linear light and strenght > minimum 0.085 even a bit lower 0.080 in your case.

About vibrance do not over saturate the colours... a value of 0.75 to 0.85 see yourself....

Levels is for dark and white so dark at 1 or 2 and white well 255 or 250 we dont care about that one.

[wet violet]

Ascii1457 is on a fucking roll with these updates! Awesome!

[manic sage]

SSS to stalker is what enb is to Skyrim

[wet violet]

Skyrim just got dlss support and they are working to get enb to support it too. Jealous

[manic sage]

True that would be so good for the aliasing in stalker

But I don't doubt that SSS will get way more features compared to what we already have

[wet violet]

a new gi compared to rtgi would be great

[full crown]

Arent RadiantGI and SSDO both global illumination shaders?

[wet violet]

yeah but I meant for the SSS mod, which means no ui problems or anything. With SSS Dof now reshade ao/gi fucks up the dof

maybe not enough to bother most ppl but still

[manic sage]

True anything in engine is needed

I more so want better anti aliasing that isn't msaa

[wet violet]

Yeah, AA it's a big issue

[zenith harbor]

Hey guys can you show me your default reshade options ? I have untick everything and kinda want to put it back how it was.

[wet violet]

I've been meaning to test some things tho because I think I can lessen the artifacts on the trees/plants by tweaking the transparency. If that works it would help with the alias

[wet violet]

one sec, loading the game now, will take a ss for ya

[zenith harbor]

Thanks alot man !!

[wet violet]

do you need the effects order or the actual reshade settings tab?

[sour oar]

The order probably

[wet violet]

ignore my screenshot path, for some reason the default setting doesn't work for me XD

[sour oar]

I was going to ignore it but now I can't

Let's see here

that's pretty silly

[zenith harbor]

There you go ! Thanks alot @wet violet back to normal

70-90 fps

So this is like... Grok's personal Reshade ?
