╟🎑reshades

[tight vine]

Last thing about anti-aliasing for now but here's examples from Clear Sky to help you choose which you prefer:

Made these quickly hence the zoom in being awkward lmao

Now time to actually work on making my own reshade preset...

[eager turtle]

How do i install Golden Autumn because when i try to install it is telling me this

[swift robin]

i personally drag and drop it into mo2's mod folder

[eager turtle]

gives a flag that says that says no game data is that okay ?

[swift robin]

should be fine i think

[hollow scarab]

asking again: does anyone know where the file location for the Reshade profile. I made a profile that was suppose to be Blank so I could go back and for, and now I cannot find the GAMMA preset

a reinstall didnt restore it unfortunately

[eager turtle]

nahh it didnt but thanks you helped figure out just had to put the actual reshade folder in without the menu one

[thick tendon]

It’s in one of the addon folders in the special installer directory. Just search for ReShade.ini and ReShadePreset.ini

[hardy dust]

Gonna experiment with an alternative way to use ReShade on Linux -- vkBasalt. Will report how that goes.
(https://github.com/DadSchoorse/vkBasalt)

[hardy dust]

Update; I stumbled on GShade, which is actually a fork of ReShade designed to work with Wine. The game's loaded, I'll see if it's sidestepped the freezing issues

...update; found this GitHub thread where people tried this already lmao.

[zealous crown]

could anyone recommend good reshade/weather mod that is straight up compatibile with gamma? i tried CGIM2, but it messes some stuff with my graphics really bad 😄

[ashen jacinth]

#custom-textures try in here plenty of good ones, I recommended anything from fabio

For reshade try hippos in mods posting

[viral prawn]

RTGI is so based

[zealous crown]

dont u haver a feeling that in hippos reshade undergrounds are a little to bright ?

[viral prawn]

That's easy to fix if you adjust the Levels effect or add it if it doesn't have it to begin with

But that also adjusts the darkest darks everywhere

[manic sage]

I've tuned one area which is where lab x16 is

I still need to tune the other underground areas

[zealous crown]

U mean gamma, or some other setting in reshade itself

[manic sage]

Just wait

you wont have to do that anymore

[zealous crown]

okay ❤️

[manic sage]

Besides lab x16 and aprogram underground

what other underground areas are there?

[zealous crown]

Some like " normal" areas like underground passages in prypiat and stuff like that 😄

[manic sage]

Okay so its fixed mostly the reason why it was bright before is because I had the ambient light higher so that way when you're in houses you can see easier

there isn't a setting for underground tunnels and such

I have lessened it somewhat

and struck a compromise with both

[golden bone]

where should I install reshade? on which exe

[tight vine]

Whatever exe your MO2 is set to (likely AnomalyDX11.exe)

[golden bone]

thanks

[snow compass]

can you suggest a good reshade that gives better realistic graphics

[hollow scarab]

Does anyone have good recommendations for a new retexture/reshade to do to gamma? Starting a new playthrough and want to see it differently again

[zealous crown]

so i should like download new version?

[zealous crown]

that Hippo one looks really promising, just started using it

[swift robin]

NVidia Freestyle Game Filter SSRTGI
GIF doesn't seem to autoplay so Open Original to see Game Filter toggled on and off

Oh it was in pinned comments too with a tutorial. But still pretty nice competitor to parts of ReShade

[zealous crown]

Btw, i love Aggressor Reshade, but the only thing that bugs me is that textures are too green. Any way of making reshade stay, but get old textures?

[tight vine]

adjust saturation overall or make a LUT texture that reduces the green value

[dire venture]

i try it but everything see the same as default, to dark and uncolored, when i see the picture in moddb i wanna the same but for some reason its the same as default shader gamma

[zealous crown]

cause it is just so fucking green 😄

if only i could replace that texture with something else

but i have no idea if i can

[brazen lark]

Not so long ago, I saw that you discussed anti-aliasing, any ideas how to fix the line?

I have gaming SMAA enabled + SMAA reshade! maybe you have some interesting anti-aliasing config?

[twin holly]

ive got an notification that reshade 5.5.2 is availeble but how tf do i install it?

[mint vortex]

when i enable the agressor reshade mod, only the texture map changes, but the custom grass does not appear with the mod. Is this suppose to happen?

[swift robin]

the custom grass needs to be added seperately

that mod in gamma only has the ground edit

and you also want to install the reshade itself

also swag pfp

[tight vine]

If on nvidia use the nvidia control panel, select the exe you use and use anti-aliasing through that. Also, try down sampling by playing in a higher res than your monitor.

[brazen lark]

Yes, I already play qhd, I tried it in nvidia to set the anti-aliasing to a strong level, nothing has changed

4к greatly affects fps

[tight vine]

In that case I can only recommend trying other AA methods or stacking other AA methods. TAA and MSAA work well together for myself but others sometimes try SMAA and FXAA. Could try literally all of them and see how it goes for you.

@brazen lark Also I suggest dropping MIP bias to help reduce sharp edges on HD textures.

[brazen lark]

yes, i also noticed that mip somehow affects, thanks for the inforaption

[atomic osprey]

What reshade would you guys recommend for a more "realistic" feel

[tight vine]

Hippos is probably one of the more "realistic"

[karmic fossil]

personally i think expedition

[atomic osprey]

can you guys link both?

also do you have a screenshot of both?

[tight vine]

I'm on my phone atm sorry

[atomic osprey]

aigh ty

[karmic fossil]

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

^ this is the EXP + GAMMA reshade that someone has been working on

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/expedition-graphical-overhaul-addon-for-anomaly-151

^ this is the moddb download. you don't need to install the full modpack, just the button that says "download now"

[atomic osprey]

love you bro

so only shaders nothing else

ik this mod also has textures

[karmic fossil]

yeah i think it's possible to intall just the reshade

[brazen lark]

I also install according to the guide above! works! even it seemed that the fps is more

[gloomy nymph]

wheres the guide to innstalling new reshades

[ashen jacinth]

There isn't a guide, you find a reshade you like the look of and there will be one within the mod posting or download

[sturdy lion]

Does gamma have any form of ambient occlusion by default?

[manic sage]

Yes

[sturdy lion]

any recomanded reshade i can use

i mean plugin for reshade that has ao*

or should i stick with ingame ao?

I have an rtx gpu so should i just use RTGI instead?

[opaque pelican]

hello guys how do i start reshading and is there any recommended reshades ?

i feel like the gamma reshade is too dark

[keen hound]

Hi want to download Stalker Expedition graphics mod for GAMMA

what do i do? just install it normally?

OR

should i just download some other graphics mod or reshade?

what does everyone recommend

[swift robin]

@keen hound #1035807043933720576 there is a post for getting EXP into gamma, check there

[swift robin]

most people here use hippo, #1035807043933720576 has some reshades to check out

[neon gate]

hey guys, i see everybody mentioning the hippo reshade ,how can I get that working with GAMMA?

[tidal stratus]

anyone want to explain me how to make my game look good ( im a fast learner just dont know what to download )

[naive swan]

Get hippo reshade

[ashen jacinth]

@neon gate @tidal stratus go to #1035807043933720576 find the hippo reshade, look at the pinned comments as the top, download ALL 3 as its mandatory and follow the instructions in the zip to the letter. Or if you dont like the look of hippos (which is hard not too) then there is loads more in mods posting.

[tidal stratus]

@ashen jacinth how do i enable dsr in control panel cant find it

[dusk shell]

I'm in ReShade. I tried everything.
What settings DON'T change the main menu, PDA or inventory ??

[tight vine]

You'll need to mask the UI, there should be an option to create a UI mask

[neon canopy]

hey guys, im kinda new at this. can someone reccomend some reshade for gamma that looks good but dont take too much fps?

i like playing at 144

dont really mind playing less for a good visuals

[ashen jacinth]

#1036172060969410590

Look at the pinned comments and download all 3, all pretty simple to install

[mortal shuttle]

getting 144 fps in stalker is a pipe dream

hippos reshade is really nice and probably only costs around 1-3 fps

[ashen jacinth]

I usually get 144 with hippos, only place I don't is Rostock and Jupiter but only dips to about 90

[swift robin]

In your opinion. what is the best reshade?

asking to everyone here.

[ashen jacinth]

Hippos or the bonezone

[tight vine]

my own custom one - based on RTGI, AA and colourgrading.

[neon canopy]

i went from 144 to 70 xD

hippo looks nice tho

[mortal shuttle]

that's like not possible

[neon canopy]

Happened

Have a i7 6700 non k.
2133mhz cl13 16gb
Vega 56 8gb

[manic sage]

Don’t use reshade with those specs

Just use non reshade version

[neon canopy]

There's much diference between both versions?

[manic sage]

No the difference is subtle

[neon canopy]

I'll try it

Thanks hippo

[fresh trail]

Been hearing good stuff about Hippo reshade, I should install it to my current save in gamma

[mortal shuttle]

it's very subtle but that's what makes it so good looking

[fresh trail]

Yeah, just a question since It's been like 2 years since i dabbled with reshade, what do i have to download to install Hippo?

[mortal shuttle]

all the instructions are included in the files

[fresh trail]

Gotcha, ty

[manic sage]

As apollo said you’ll see other reshades/shaders out there that will look better than mine in certain shots but will fall apart in other scenes. Mine is good in every scenario or I’m trying to get it to that point if it’s not already there.

You can also go the route of using atmospherics and my shader param settings and make a reshade around that as @woven sierra has done if you want to go for a more stylized look

[fresh trail]

I'm good with that, happy to try it out.

[long knot]

hey man where can i find the guide for installation?

[hollow iris]

#old-how-to-install

[long knot]

i meant like the graphics mod thing not the game gamma

[hollow iris]

Ooh i use this mod here:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/expedition-graphical-overhaul-addon-for-anomaly-151

All you do is download the pack from moddb and open with 7zip or winrar
Paste the contents in your anomaly folder 🙂

[kindred anvil]

Hi so i want to try the aggressor reshade that can be found in disabled section in gamma launcher

do i need to turn off other shader to make it work?

[swift robin]

you need to install it manually yourself

the disabled one in MO2 is just a ground edit i think?

[spiral basin]

Got the mod working last night, just spend some time fiddling around to make a reshade preset

Hey curious, i downloaded Expedition Reshade but now emissions no longer happen, i hear the crows but i get no indicator of psy storms or emissions happening now. Curious if theres anything you think can fix this?

[shut prawn]

my kpk is blurry as fk after this, but the graphic is amazing, I do not recognize the maps

[shut prawn]

any idea? restart did not help

[sturdy lion]

cant seem to fix anti aliasing problems

i am running 8x fxaa through nvidea control panel

[sturdy lion]

Just installed hippos

Is the sun supposed to look like this?

[manic sage]

No it’s supposed to be a normal size have you tried using delphics ?

[dense snow]

Hey guys, got any idea on how to install ReGrade?

[kindred anvil]

anybody knows if this is already enabled in MO2? a mod called "screen space shader" got new update. Thanks

[mortal shuttle]

no it's not included yet

[manic sage]

[urban finch]

Anyone have any idea why the ground is faintly pulsing red?

Doesn't look like much but gives me a headache when running around

[dire venture]

okey, i'm updating the ReShade buuut got this many options that broke my brain XD, i just wanna use Aggressor, see picture and like the view, i just skip it?

[soft thistle]

where can I download hippo's reshade?

I see a publication in mods-posting channel, but when I click on it, I am redirected into comments

thanks a lot!

[swift robin]

no probs

[hollow iris]

Yo what the fuck🤣

[proud snow]

maybe you have light bleeding?

[cinder coral]

thats unfixable it seems

[sturdy lion]

nope

i just downloaded it

[cinder coral]

where is expedition reshade patch? couldnt find results

[sturdy lion]

Do i install it as a mod or should i overwrite base anomaly?

It overwrittes Roadside Lens Flares

Ou nvm its his mod righ

this is how it looks now

[manic sage]

Good

Looks better

[urban finch]

What’s that and how would I fix it?

[swift robin]

ok i may be dumb

but

i don't understand where i'm supposed to put hippo's shaders

i've installed atmospherics so far

i just don't know where to put them in the mod order or am i supposed to put those files in another folder entirely?

[ashen jacinth]

@swift robin I put mine under atmospherics and works but ask in #1036172060969410590 for a second opinion

[swift robin]

mhh ok thanks!

will try that

[vale mason]

does anyone get a black screen while using quinton_regrade (hipposr)

[slow copper]

My game looks really bad, can anyone help me make it look better?

[woven axle]

How come the trees look so jank?

[devout whale]

because stalker engine

[jovial mulch]

Top: OG
Bottom: Reshade
This is my attempt at a vibrant but realistic and natural looking environment, eliminating Stalker's favoritism for yellow and not leaning too hard into any specific color.

[kindred anvil]

great reshade!

how's the impact at performance?

[jovial mulch]

It's not too bad, but it is noticeable. I lose around 5-15 frames. It can get even worse in performance heavy areas.

[tight vine]

@woven axle
higher MIP Bias = more jank
solution = remove MIP Bias or Downsample from a much higher res with all kinds of AA turned on

[prisma sand]

Wait that MIP setting in the graphics options affects the trees?

I thought it did nothing

I just kind of accepted anomaly's trees always look like ass

[woven axle]

Oshit

[thick tendon]

It'll affect things by serving up lower res textures for distant objects... if you want to fight the aliasing monster it's better to use trees with actual leaves as this masks the fine branches aliasing.

[slow copper]

Help?

[hollow iris]

can anyone link me a summer mod that is compatible with gamma?

[eager turtle]

Can somone link me a way to reinstall or update SSS(Screen Space Shadows by Ascii1457) been trying to install it on my own and just keep getting errors

[hollow iris]

Just a matter of playing with reshade and gamma options

[hollow iris]

Before i download this, is there a fps decrease that will come with this?

[swift robin]

no idea

i didnt feel a drop

even if there was it shouldnt ve substancial

[rapid flare]

But where do you play with reshade ? 😢

[hollow iris]

Press the home button😇

I downloaded summer redux, but the ground looks really weird when walking/running, any way to fix the grittiness?

looks like fortnite

[manic sage]

it looks wayyy too sharp

probably your mip maps

[wispy garden]

Thoughts

[manic sage]

frozen zone?

[wispy garden]

Yeah, with expedition + prosperity reshade

Going for a metro visual

[manic sage]

I think it looks good

I think expedition bloom works in snowy weather tbh

it just doesn't work as good for me in non snow based texture packs

[wispy garden]

Yeah expedition bloom is a bit too much in the included reshades

[manic sage]

I think it works when the sky is white

[wispy garden]

Had to try out a couple and so far the prosperity reshade seems to balance it out

Agreed, I messed with aggressor as well but did not like the blue tone

[manic sage]

its because aggressor tries to emulate tarkov

which is blue shifted

[manic sage]

good to hear

yeah it looks good

I wanna see more screens

[wispy garden]

This guy levitating at the campfire is ruining everything

[manic sage]

no complaints from me

looks good

How project inverno looks for me

[mint owl]

My Reshade preset is outdated and fps hungry, I strongly suggest the new Reshade presets in #1035807043933720576 (in graphics section)

[mint owl]

Is it my phone or it makes your weapon and arms darker somehow ?

[manic sage]

It’s also darker on my phone too so not just you

[mint owl]

I guess phone quality is what it is

[manic sage]

I suppose so

[swift robin]

wth gamma loads so fast for you man

for me i gotta wait for 10 straight minutes for it to load

[manic sage]

SSD plus a good pc will do you wonders

[rich sentinel]

SSD + Monster PC

But yeah textures can put some work on loading time

looks good!

lemmi check

i mean...

its still not even close

[manic sage]

I mean different weather, different grass, different trees.

Both screens are not comparable

So much is different that you can't ask why is my game like this

If that makes sense

[left pelican]

my game is... just... out of colour... shapes of grey

yh

any graphical mods u used?

[glacial surge]

if im going to do a fresh reinstall of gamma (for other mod issues) is there a way to save all my reshade shit?

so i dont have to figure out what my settings were

[left island]

Just GAMMA and my preset

[stuck grotto]

vanilla gamma?

whats your in game settings?

[left island]

yup

[left island]

most boxes checked and most sliders only a bit above where they were at default. SSDO and shadows set to high. Darw distance and textures max. So many settings

would be easier for u if u just showed

a ss of them

hey guys anyone ever exp this where the ground is weird

[stuck grotto]

what u mean?

low resolution?

not enough grass?

[mortal shuttle]

looks fine to me just a little barren on grass

which can be turned up in the settings very easily

oh now i see it, the ground is very deepfried

do you have an AMD card?

[manic sage]

what reshade effects are you running?

[hollow iris]

Are you talking about the grainy look the ground has when walking?

[left island]

Could your MIP bias be too high? Noisy textures could be the result of too high res MIPs being used.

[hard fulcrum]

the ground have to much noisy texture

[manic sage]

hop in vc

install support

or not :/

[rich sentinel]

[manic sage]

Wanna hop in vc and show me what you've been working on?

does the agressor reshade not work

if not anyone know which ones do

I was installing hippo's shaders and when I installed all and when I loaded save or made new game I have this error

[desert frigate]

Hi guys I just installed the hippo reshade and texture stuff

I followed the tutorial and everything works fine expect my reshade manager does not wanna work

when I press the reshade ini nothing pops up. Anyone knows why?

[left island]

Try alt-tabbing out then back in. I found this works on a bugged reshade UI in the vanilla Stalker games.

[desert frigate]

Hmmm does nothing. I even restarded. Must hade done something wrong

[left island]

Yeah. Probably best to uninstall reshade completely then reinstall

[stuck grotto]

masz film na youtube jak to zainstalowac poprawnie

[long bluff]

Robiłem wszystko tak jak w filmiku hippob0t

[stuck grotto]

chodz pv

[swift robin]

if you followed the video

did you rename or deleted a file called dxgi or sumn

hippo specifically says to only do that if you do not want reshade to run

[desert frigate]

Yeah I solved it

I used the shader in my install folder and not my game folder...

Awesome reshade tho

[coarse flicker]

i had the same issue had to reset the mods back to the original idk y it worked in the video but not for me i followed it precisely

[thick tendon]

oh look, new reshade... in b4 "hOw dO I uPgRaDe mY rEsHaDe VeRsiOn" questions

[thick tendon]

FYI: don't upgrade reshade if you want regrade to work, it's busted in 5.6

[manic sage]

Im excited for this next update.

[coarse flicker]

can someone help me with hippo's reshade i followed the stepps and nothing works

[left island]

I got everything in Hippo's S&A working EXCEPT TFAA. For that I see no change but the shaders and the rest of the preset appear to be working fine.

When I mouse over TFAA in the GUI, I see a yellow warning about "implicit truncation of vector type".

[pearl breach]

Is there a video tutorial on reshading?

Stalker tends to look nicer when sunny than overcast.

hello guys. I want to fix the jaggy shimmering anti-aliasing on branches and grass and I was pointed out to come here and ask about reshade. Can someone help me please? How do I add a good anti-aliasing reshade to the ones already active in gamma

[thick tendon]

You don’t. Use a different foliage mod that has leaves and better grass.

[stone grail]

could you recommend one that would work with Gamma? The only thing I changed in gamma is remove dead vegetation

[thick tendon]

Aydin’s grass/tree mod.

Best bet is to ask Hippobot, the new king in town

Look up here https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1036172060969410590

[swift robin]

Was told to ask you but ok

[mint owl]

Haha I used to be the main guy for that, but my stuff is mostly outdated and performance heavy

[shy plume]

why does my game look so discusting

[ashen jacinth]

What's your pc specs? Just do we know what to recommend

[shy plume]

Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-9400F CPU Gtx 1650 8gb ram

so dont hold back i played on another file and it looked great

[ashen jacinth]

Are you running anything or is it default gamma?

[shy plume]

default

[ashen jacinth]

Okay well the consensus around here is hippos stuff #1036172060969410590 it runs light or heavy depending on what effects you use, its what I use in combination with a few other things like #1053707300080209961 #1043020993687474186 and the new SSS update

But its more of a preference on what you want the game to look like too

if you want snowy then #976180490065313842 is great

or you can jump into #1035807043933720576 and have a look at the other reshades, #1047823370982526997 is a good one too

@shy plume forgot to reply to you woops

No worries, hippos is ridiculously easy to install, all of those postings above have install instructions in the pins

new "80's feel" reshade with magicbloom instead of the default it comes with

i like it so far

[worldly mural]

So i installed hippos shaders and reshade. when going through hippos guide i removed the texture path instead of the effects path, i added path back in through gamma mods, Hippo but it has not worked i seem to be missing most of the effects on hippos guide now, please help!

Hippos reshade shaders for effects and hippos reshade textures for textures

[covert cargo]

should i install hippos shaders, or gamma exp edition or some other shaders

[wise kayak]

Did you completely disable ADEGA or deleted something? If it's enabled the snow is not visible but the pale ground

[manic sage]

I mean yeah you're not supposed to run adega with a snow texture pack

[wise kayak]

thought i could run a mixture but probably not a good idea

[manic sage]

Nope but you can find the late autumn texture pack by @thick gorge and use that

its a mix

and if you wanna use it with atmospherics then you'll just need to disabled the environments folder

[wise kayak]

ill try that right now, miss the snow irl

[pastel gull]

the 80's feel reshade looks like a low poly half life

[trail hollow]

how do i open reshade menu?

[wise kayak]

home button but it says on the top banner when you start the game

[little anchor]

Going through hippos shaders install and the sky seems blinding bright, did I mess something up or do I just mess with it until I get it to my liking?

clear_2 looks ok though

stormy2...

[sour oar]

Enabled Aggressor reshade by accident?

[little anchor]

disabled

[manic sage]

Yeah thats fucked

lmao

What did you do?

[little anchor]

Followed the install video to a T

[manic sage]

hop in install support

[proud snow]

am i crazy

or wasnt there a forum channel where you post your reshade like #1035807043933720576

[rare current]

is there a shader just to make my ga

me look better

[broken fractal]

I install deadzone retexture and use it with gamma shaders, now the vegetation looks all white, does anyone knows how to fix this ?

[feral goblet]

Kinda new to reshades

How do i get them to work off a fresh install?

[swift robin]

see what reshade you fancy first

[manic sage]

How are you liking the new update?

[swift robin]

have not updated to the latest yet, ill let ya know

[manic sage]

yeah

[feral goblet]

Wheres the list of reshades

I get the home menu stuff

I just dont really know what to use or where to look. Unless its just on mod db

[desert frigate]

Some are in mod-posting

[oblique hill]

anyone know how to increase the fog rendering distance? skybox is rendering over terrain because of high fog and it's putting a damper on otherwise great visuals

[manic sage]

yeah increase fog distance

[devout whale]

huh

[wanton bluff]

Why does everything look blurry/distorted in the distance in DX11 (in binoculars its blurry no matter the distance but in iron sights and scopes only starts increasing after around 50 meters, also its blurry in distance without anything readied in hands but its less pronounced.) I tried raising and lowering graphics settings and reshades on/off, turning off DOF in menus and with r2_dof_enable off, nothing worked. Only in DX8 there is no blur in distance even with max zoom on binoculars.

[abstract dust]

Hey, is there a way I can hard reset to gammas reshade? I accidentally f'ed it

[steel bison]

I think shaders cache

Not sure tho

Try deleting shaders cache

And reshade shaders in bin folder

[trail hollow]

you can make a new preset and disable the option to copy the current preset

[left island]

Unfortunately, no. Unless you saved a copy. You can do this manually or within Reshade's GUI. If you didn't make a copy, you can get it from Hippo's Atmospherics. I know he has a copy included with his presets.

Or I could just give it to you 😉

[left island]

Don't do that unless you want to delete all your Reshade shaders. Bambii is just looking to reset the preset to its OG state.

[steel bison]

Oh ok sorry

[left island]

No worries. I've borked many a preset and reshade install myself

[hollow iris]

Am i supposed to get this error?

[left island]

Do you have MotionEstimation installed properly? There should be 3 additional Motion FXH files in your Shaders folder.

[swift robin]

yes because u didnt follow instructions

bottom right corner

untick performance mode

then it workey

[hollow iris]

Tyty

[swift robin]

guys

[shy plume]

why does my game look like this

[swift robin]

delete shader cache in the anomaly folder

if it still persists, i suggest a reinstall

[shy plume]

Okay

[main shoal]

is there a way to load different presets automaticly when a weather type is activatet and chenge ? (i mean clear to foggy )

witcher 3 got this with a tool

[thick tendon]

Not without someone writing a ReShade addon.

[left island]

Is it possible? This is something I've wanted for ages. I seem to remember a LUTs functionality that operated similarly but could be mistaken.

[left island]

Can you point me to this tool?

[thick tendon]

I mean anything is possible it’s just a matter of if it’s the best approach or not. Something like dynamic LUTs is better handled by the engine via a script imo. You also have to remember that changing ReShade presets is not seamless.

[left island]

Right. I imagine there'd be some jank during transitions. I'd be fine with that though if it meant not having to stop playing to manually switch presets. Whoever writes something like this would instantly be granted UberChad status.

[ancient fable]

Idk men it look like chromatic aberration to me

[thick tendon]

yeah it's normal

[lapis panther]

are you able to just throw the graphical edition of exp onto gamma and it works fine ?

[swift robin]

i think you should follow this here if you want exp in gamma

#1037753021322506240 message

[hollow iris]

Dont just throw expedition onto gamma, its horrid

[left island]

EXP is overly bright and overly sharp. A good Reshade can help remedy that. EXP runs well from what I've played though. It's fun. That combat music however....

[hollow iris]

I just couldnt get past the overly sharp part of it

[left island]

Yeah. It can't be left as is, lol

[mint fjord]

Anyone know what this line in Gamma's default Reshade does? I've been working on my own preset and wondered if it's worth including.
PreprocessorDefinitions=UIMASK_TOGGLEKEY_BLUE=I,RT_PRECISION_LEVEL_0_TO_4=1,RT_ENABLE_HIGH_PERF_MODE=1

[proud snow]

[mint owl]

Someone is digging far xD

[swift robin]

So curious does rtgi run well on amd gpus

[unkempt marten]

Is there a way to disable the blur that occurs when you use consumables? seemed to only start happening after the most recent update

[limpid vault]

yeah

trynna find that out too

bothers me

[magic harbor]

@unkempt marten @limpid vault hey if y'all still need help: go to MCM in-game, find SSS Settings, and go to the Weapons DOF tab. i think you'll have to reload the game for changes to take effect

[unkempt marten]

I got it fixed thank you

[graceful totem]

Hi, so I have disabled every shaders except the bloom one (I'm running on a shitty laptop so I need every fps possible). I'm happy with everything except the UI. It seems that the bloom shader also brightens the UI too for some reason?
So how can I fix it?

[limpid vault]

thanks

[grizzled badger]

there should be an option called UI mask in the reshade menu. I haven't used it myself so I don't exactly how it works, but it's supposed to remove the reshade effects from the hud

[tender hazel]

Any way to get the Expedition modpack reshade working with GAMMA?

Does Ultra zone winter mod work with gamma?

[main shoal]

gave it a way to add ENB like Autunumn Auora 2 from SOC ?

[final rock]

Yo boys what is your secret sauce when it comes to getting crazy shaders for GAMMA, trying to make GAMMA look like a movie

[thick tendon]

I record my playbacks to VHS and then watch them on the big screen with my family while eating popcorn

[remote yew]

Heard the whole analog look is coming back in style

[left island]

Yes, but do you also record your audio to vinyl and play it back via phonograph? True Old People Shit.

[frozen maple]

What Graphical Settings are you guys running? i got a GeForce 3080, and trying to set some good settings for a decent FPS

[thick tendon]

Max out everything except grass, leave game AA off, enable SMAA only, use SSDO, etc. There are no magic tricks, only what to avoid.

[frozen maple]

aright i'll give it a shot thanks 🙂

[left island]

Resolution, grass density/draw distance, and the game's "AA"(which is MSAA in disguise), are the biggest blocks to decent fps. I stick with "high" for all dropdown options as well just to be safe. I have a 3080 Ti and typically run at 60fps at 3440 x 1440. Set everything up and then test the grass settings. If they're currently set too high, you can gain considerable fps just by lowering them a few notches.

[frozen maple]

Alright nice, got decent FPS on 90 right now so it worked 🙂 had a lot of stutter before even with the Stutter mod on, now i just crashes with some Blood Particles sometimes when i do headshots not quiet sure what is causing that, maybe its DX11?

[left island]

Do you have HD Models installed?

[frozen maple]

For NPC's ?

[left island]

At all

[frozen maple]

got HD Mutants installed

And then i'm just using the default Duxs Character kit

[left island]

That's different. Your issue could be anything really, that was just a problem I was running into. Sounds like you may have installed extra mods not included with GAMMA and are running into conflicts. Unfortunately, I'm not knowledgeable enough to troubleshoot for you 😦

[frozen maple]

Yeah i've got extra mods in here, but doesn't looks like, there is any conflicts in the MO2, but it did write under file in the error R4, like it says with DX11 so now i'm just trying to run DX10 🙂

[thick tendon]

That isn’t going to make a difference.

It’s likely just the error being reported originating from an r4 involved cpp module not necessarily because it’s r4 specific.

Ignore anything below dx11 unless you have a very good reason.

[drowsy fern]

Does the reshade give this dark, green/blueish tint? I installed Hippo's shaders, followed the instructions, and my game doesn't look like yours, my Phrozac reshade doesn't even make a big difference (The tint/colors)

(I have the shader/textures path in reshade set correctly btw)

[left island]

Did you enter cfg_load hipposr in console?

[drowsy fern]

Yes

Troubleshooting rn, sec

[main shoal]

than u have wrong isntalled

[main shoal]

are u enter cfg_loadhipposr ?

clip captured by storm2

[drowsy fern]

I'm on EFP 4.0, there's a seperate version of Hippo's Atmospherics for EFP, I'm trying that now

[manic sage]

I am updating it as we speak

[drowsy fern]

Yes, I did, hold on, gonna post some screenshots

This is how it looks, HippoSR and Phrozac's reshade enabled

No green/blue tint

Maybe it's just during stormy2 weather?

[manic sage]

looks like reshade isn't active

[drowsy fern]

It is, I checked - I have following effects: FXAA, EyeAdaptation, ChromaticAbberation, Clarity, Ambientlight

Am I missing some effects?

[onyx socket]

The regrade.

[drowsy fern]

(+ the border, I added that manually)

[left island]

Did you direct Reshade to look in the right directories for the presets and shaders?

[drowsy fern]

Yes, reshade-shaders -> Shaders, and reshade-shaders -> Textures

Like in the screenshot in the manual

I'm on 5.6.0 reshade, if that helps

(The newest one)

[left island]

There should be 6 active effects and a TFAA and RTGI cluster of effects that are optionals with a keybind.

[drowsy fern]

Oh yes, but I disabled TFAA RTGI, because my specs are too weak for it

The question is.... why am I missing the regrade? Could it be because of the Reshade version I'm on?

[left island]

click "active to top" to see if Regrade shows up

[drowsy fern]

Ok, this is interesting - I typed in "Regrade" in reshade's search bar, and it only found one effect, named "MotionEstimation.fx" and it's in red and says "failed to compile

[manic sage]

hop in install support vc @drowsy fern

[sinful terrace]

@drowsy fern Do you have performance mode checked?

[drowsy fern]

Hippo helped me fix it, thanks for the help, guys! Much appreciated

[gentle thistle]

what mod is this😭

I meant GAMMA. All 358 mods haha

[gentle thistle]

oh lol can i get the reshade settings ?😭

#1036172060969410590 .
Phrozacs preset is part of this pack.

[fluid sky]

does the load order look right?

[fluid sky]

@left island I want it to look like your screenshots

[left island]

Oh man. I'm the last dude in the world you want looking at your load order. I'm running pretty much just GAMMA with Hippo's Atmos, my presets, ADEGA, and Aydin's grasses.

[fluid sky]

Im almost there, I think I’m still loading the vanilla grass though, I’ve tried it in different orders lol

[left island]

You should watch Hippo's install video. I think it still mostly applies. I know he was making a new video though. Keep an eye out for that.

[celest pasture]

yo just wondering if anyone else had the issue of the SSS dof just not existing? i tried to install the latest version way back before it was introduced into gamma but promptly removed it and i thought all was good, but now the dof wont work and in mod config settings it doesnt show up, anyone have an idea to fix?

[thick tendon]

Double click on any mod in mo2 and go to the conflicts tab. That’ll show you how things are being resolved.

[left island]

When you click on SSS, there will be two tabs up to the right. DoF is nestled in the unselected tab. I almost missed it.

[celest pasture]

you mean in mod config?

cause i cant see shit

[left island]

Yup. It's missing. Did you install and activate the new SSS update? 14.2 I believe

[celest pasture]

i did try that back before gamma added it to their mods and it didnt work, so i deleted it and decided to wait and now that it has been added to gamma it wont do anything

i havent touched sss outside of gamma apart from then.

[thick tendon]

go to your anomaly directory, bin, right click on the exe you use to run the game and show us the details of it (size, date, etc)

[thick tendon]

oh, what version of SSS shows up in your mo2 mod list then?

[celest pasture]

where do you see the version? just is SSS, did say un ignore update which might be something, dunno why it has that on

[thick tendon]

in the column that says version

[celest pasture]

oh my dumbass has it not fullscreen

its in 13.2

[thick tendon]

and the exe details?

[celest pasture]

running DX11AVX i think this is what you meant

wait nvn

this shit right?

[thick tendon]

what's your gamma directory?

[celest pasture]

as in?

[thick tendon]

D:\Game\GAMMA RC3 or something?

[celest pasture]

yeah that exactly

oh wait no game is the anomaly directory

its just straight from D:/gamma rc3

[thick tendon]

those bins don't look the same as the latest bins included with gamma

[celest pasture]

full install?

yeah no aint seeing none of those bins in gamma

[thick tendon]

but either way go here and download this: https://github.com/themrdemonized/STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes/blob/main/STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes.zip

use those binaries as it's likely you're using exe's that do not support weapon dof

and yes from time to time you should be doing gamma updates and/or full install

[celest pasture]

yeah have been probably even a bit too much lol

so just replace the bins from that into anomaly bins or copy them into gamma?

[thick tendon]

go to mo2, click on the gear icon and show me the details for the dx11avx exec

[celest pasture]

yeah in anomaly then

[thick tendon]

also go to tools->settings->paths and paste that window

[thick tendon]

the issue here is that if you're updating gamma frequently i'd expect you to have newer exes than march 2022

oh i see, october 2022 actually

[celest pasture]

right...

[thick tendon]

go to your gamma folder and this subdir: D:\GAMMA RC3\.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\bin

are those the same exes as in your Anomaly bin?

[celest pasture]

yeah same exes

[thick tendon]

they're not the same though

[celest pasture]

ah shit arent they?

ah yeah different dates modified

[thick tendon]

this is what you pasted earlier:

[celest pasture]

ah and diff sizes

[thick tendon]

well you run the gamma installer do you do the gamma data update and then full install or only full install?

[celest pasture]

data update then full install but it is possible ive missed data update before

[thick tendon]

well if you want to just fix this, copy those gamma installer exes into your anomaly directory but you're better off using the demonized version i sent you earlier

either way just stomp the anomaly bins

[celest pasture]

yeah done i copied your demonized versh into it

thankyou heaps tho dude! absolute legend ill quicky ccheck it it to see if its fixed

YEP! dof is good to go

[thick tendon]

yeah you were running old bins basically

now update all your stuff with the installer (and potentially recopy the demonized exes again after)

then you can experiment with sss 14.x

[celest pasture]

yep on it

[rare current]

[queen pelican]

i mean u need some downloads with this one and i was meaning to say is just fresh gamma so i needed simple setting in reshade

[mossy orchid]

I see "Agressor Reshade" is already downloaded within the whole GAMMA Mod, but not active by default. How do i properly activate/install it?

[swift robin]

sorry is there any way to make gamma look like the screenshots ?

[swift robin]

agressor needs to be installed seperately, afaik the one in gamma is just the ground edit texture

[ashen jacinth]

Which screenshots in particular?

[ashen jacinth]

That just looks like default gamma to me just after an emission

[nova tiger]

does anyone know why this happens?

[swift robin]

dynamic tonemapper in MCM, it forces the values back to whats set

i suggest tweaking the values through dynamic tonemapper instead, look for minimum hemi value in there and slide it to 0.5

[nova tiger]

Thanks for the advice!

[swift robin]

Ememesion

?

[ashen jacinth]

A blowout the storms that happen in the zone, its not a reshade just part of the game

[swift robin]

Is there any reshade that you would recommend

[swift robin]

Wait I can make it more freqant in stettings

[ashen jacinth]

You can but I wouldn't recommend it

Just leave it as default, the storms cause you to stop until they finish or you'll die, it changed the positions of anomalies and artifact spawns

[swift robin]

Ah k

Is there anything so that I can make my game look les bland ?

[ashen jacinth]

Have a look in #custom-textures or #1035807043933720576 , choose one you like the look of

[swift robin]

Thanks

[gusty elk]

is there a way of making the phystorm look cooler? cause rn it kinda just looks like nothing

[ashen jacinth]

Not without tweaking the weather preset, some shaders and texture packs do that but not many

[gusty elk]

ok, ill try that

thanks

[latent quarry]

Guys what reshade you suggest me that doesn't have more hardware needs than the default one build in GAMMA by default. Also, any good solution for folliage edges faulty AA so I can run the game smoothly in 2k with a 4 monitor. My GPU is a 1650 so I cant get 60 fps in 4k.

[swift robin]

hippo

[prisma sand]

Having a 4k monitor and a 1650 sucks

[tough sky]

Can anyone tell me or otherwise point me towards how I could use an alternative reshade preset to the one provided my G.AM.M.A?

[left island]

Hippo's Shaders & Atmospherics has a bunch included. You could also just download any preset you want, reinstall reshade and tell it to install that preset. It'll grab only the shaders that preset uses.

[terse wagon]

How do you get smooth 60 fps on 2k with 1650 ;-;. I'm getting 40-50 fps on 3050 at 1080p with most toned down on low

[swift robin]

i manage 50-70 with my 3050

at worst 45

[terse wagon]

It's almost impossible to get smooth 60 fps even with AA at the lowest and far texture rendering and object quality at the lowest

[prisma sand]

Turn AA off

[thick tendon]

Yeah, you need to turn off AA and only use SMAA. Game AA is an expensive implementation.

Also, define 2k. 1080p? 2160p?

[terse wagon]

isn't 2k 1440p

[thick tendon]

Yeah that was kinda my point. It’s a made up term that’s inconsistent.

[terse wagon]

My AA is off I don't even use SMAA

Can y'all send what settings are you using

Should I keep the texture detail on max?

[thick tendon]

Use afterburner / RTSS to monitor your GPU usage in game. If it’s not at 100% then something else is going on. There’s no way you have to have your settings that low to hit 60fps with a 3050.

[latent quarry]

I turned off AA and instead I only use the FXAA from both the ENB plugins and the nVidia control panel.

[terse wagon]

It's never hitting 100%

[gentle moss]

It's my problem too

[terse wagon]

The most usage i got is like 65

[wooden sandal]

Wth? Your gpu is 1650 and you play on 2k with 60 fps?

I have amd rx 6500xt and on 1080p I get like 50 fps most of the time

[wooden sandal]

Do you have vsync on?

[terse wagon]

Nop I don't even limit my fps

[wooden sandal]

Ah

[terse wagon]

Btw does ADEGA textures needs really beefy computer?

[thick tendon]

What CPU?

[hidden ravine]

[terse wagon]

What could possibly bottlenecking it? My cpu is i5-11400h and ram is dual channel 16gb 2933mhz. My game is also installed in ssd

[digital kettle]

hi, is there an anti aliasing alternative in reshade?

[dusk shell]

if i wanted to add all of the shaders available in reshade. would i have to reinstall it?

[tight lance]

was anyone having issues with black screen on hippo shaders?

[valid anchor]

i just got a new build with a 4090. anyone have mod recommendations to push Gamma to the limits and look as good as possible? a link would be great, i'm sure this gets asked a lot recently

[thick tendon]

Just rerun the installer, point it to the path where it’s already installed, on the shader screen check select all until all are selected, continue, finish.

You can even use the same approach to downgrade or upgrade just ReShade itself by skipping the shader selection.

If you run RTGI make sure to recopy its file or else one of the noise textures will be wrong.

[dusk shell]

thanks!

My reshade preset for Hippo's reshade & atmos (Hippo's install guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uCR7UThyW0)

Looks real good

[obsidian sentinel]

Try Hippo Reshade !! he make my 3090 at 26/19 fps on 4k !!

[sly sand]

your own preset? looks insane

[ashen jacinth]

Sadly im not clever enough to do that I just use phroZacs preset in hippos a+s but the purple storm wasnt intended something broke but it looked cool

[sly sand]

lmao i see

[robust basalt]

To add a new reshade do I just need the ini or do I need to add everything?

[thick oracle]

Anyone ussing hippos?

[thick oracle]

Ini is the settings file for which reshade loads the preset, some of them require the shaders effects to be downloaded

But you can try just pasting the .ini file in anomaly/bin

and load it in game see if it works

[robust basalt]

I only ask because I tried one and it tanked my fps. Even when I switched back. I had to reset reshade completely to get my frames back

[thick oracle]

I guess it does that with some resahde effects

but it shouldn't be the .ini that's the problem

worst case scenario, nothing should change if the .ini doesn't enable effects by itself

[crimson jungle]

hey guys looking for preferably the best shaders compatible with gamma (obvs)

these are the mods i wanted to add to gamma

but obvs this chats for shaders only so

Hippos

It brings some reshades with a lot of features you can customise 2

[crimson jungle]

i thought hipposhader was already in gamma/

is it a really ouydated version tho?

He is updating almost daily at this point

Just released a new version as we speak

ah

[granite remnant]

so i just followed hippos new updated vid on how to install the shaders and atmospherics, but get an error now when i start the game that the shader compilation failed?? can someone help? i cant seem to find any help on this issue

[fringe fiber]

Will be. Not yet

Just use that and the tutorial needed mods

Plus gamma and tidy

[crimson jungle]

How's gamma without reshaders and stuff? I mean the weird sky events and stuff. I'm yet to see one but since it's a mod I'm wondering if it'll look as bad as the trees or be in a completely different class

[thick tendon]

looks generally okay

obviously some of the assets are not AAA quality but no reshade is going to fix that

[crimson jungle]

@thick tendon I thought the hippo stuff looked pretty significantly different from the base gamma

But is that just mainly skyboxes ?

I mean I'll take nice skyboxes any day

[stoic roost]

guys what reshade should I use I have a gtx 1050ti, i3 10505f and 16 GB of ram (im on a budget)

[swift robin]

hippoS without reshade

[left island]

Skyboxes and lighting. You'll notice when switching between grading_warm and hipposr, the ground will be much brighter

[undone stump]

anyone know the lighting effect from this photo ?

[left island]

Some sort of anamflare

Anamorphic Lens Flare like how JJ Abrams sees

[left island]

Yeah, if anyone knows how to get a good anamflare in reshade, I'd love to know. There used to be a shader called Gaussian Anamflare that I liked.

[left island]

Try BloomAndLensFLares(Bloom.fx). I find it a bit hard to control.

[swift robin]

@manic sage guessing no fog in the new update?

[left island]

He nixxed it for now because it's a bit early days

[swift robin]

damn shame

what was the issue?

[left island]

I forget exactly but I think it was due to lack of control

[swift robin]

cause it makes for some killer atmosphere when it happens

[left island]

It's all in the Hippo channel if you scroll up a bit

I know, but that's in a perfect case

[swift robin]

ill probs keep it anyway regardless of its issues

i love it a lot

[left island]

I think he couldn't limit it to certain times and it just happens with the weather

[remote yew]

spoopy

[swift robin]

hopefully the issues hippo has with it are fixed in the future, its soo good

[swift robin]

also clips on trees ive heard

[manic sage]

It’s just that it glows at night

Or is brighter than everything else at night

Don’t you think?

[small kraken]

Can I know how do you put the FPS counter sorry ?

[swift robin]

press home key and enable it in the settings of reshade

[swift robin]

perhaps a little but for the atmosphere it gives i dont mind

[small kraken]

Thanks a lot :D

[tidal marlin]

this actually be dope as a part of the snow atmospherics, like frosty mist hanging in the air

[manic sage]

could add it but would have to test it

it does have potential

[tidal marlin]

i can test, or if you just shoot me a quick rundown can try and make the edits myself

[manic sage]

Sure one sec

[manic sage]

Here you go

Install the textures through mo2

and the script replaces the existing script in atmospherics

In the script the fog is only enabled for fog1 and fog2

and this is meant for snowy atmospherics

Each fog weather has two different types of fog particles.

[tidal marlin]

dope!

gotta do something while i pretend to be working

[thick gorge]

I’m gonna change fog textures. And I searching new fog particles. Stay tuned

Or make something new in sdk

[manic sage]

Sweet! Try to find or create a fog texture that doesn’t glow or is not bright at night. That was my only complaint besides some of the flickering when the fog particles form.

Can’t wait!

[stoic roost]

ty

[swift robin]

guys i accidentally deleted my reshade folder is there any way i could restore it?

or do i have to reainstall everything?

[tidal marlin]

playing around with a few presets and yeah the fog brightens the scene up in the distance a lot. gonna set some time aside this weekend to poke around and see if i can decrease the density while increasing the range of effect so its more of a mist

[surreal mortar]

i want your opinion guys. This first pic is vanilla Gamma reshade and the second is the same but with prod...blablabla...filmictonemap

Vanilla

--->

FilmicTonemap -->

Vanilla -->

FilmicTonemap -->

[viral cedar]

Any way to fix this blue shit in night? Days are fine, but this blue shadows and white trees is bad

FilmicTonemap is helping a bit, but not enough

[raw ruin]

How do I tell if a reshade is working, my eyes are dumb.

[hidden ravine]

press home

[undone stump]

is it already available in GAMMA ?

[left island]

It's a shader in reshade

[nova frigate]

there are a few ways you can deal with the artifically brightened nights. first try setting nights to "dark nights" in the Gamma. from there, if you still want to make the night lighting more natural, try adjusting gamma from the "basic light settings" controls, but i wouldn't go below 0.9. then a reshade that can control contrast/brightness/exposure/gamma (or 'levels' in general) can get it dialed in

it's a balancing act though so you don't darken the UI too much

without using UI masks anyway

i use in-game gamma at 0.9, dark nights, and a small increase in contrast and decrease in exposure from my reshade

and of course as with anything it all depends on your particular display and its settings too 👍

[ripe depot]

Why does the UIMask do nothing? I turn it on/off (both of them) and I see no difference whatsoever. I checked the UI/HUD, but cant see a difference

[manic sage]

best way to fix the nights is through the weather, doing what you're doing can cause unforeseen effects in other time periods. For those still using gamma weathers they can edit the night time values for hemi and sun color from 21:00 to 03:00

[nova frigate]

get out of here with your advanced techniques ❤️

[manic sage]

lol

[lavish relic]

What does expedition do differently to achieve the nights they have? I’m guessing it’s done through shaders or black magic.

[manic sage]

They crank up sunshaft intensity and sun color

Which is not my intention for what i wanna do mainly because that fucks up the trees

[lavish relic]

Yeah I noticed that when I gave expedition a try. The nights look good in screenshots but moving around in game… you start to notice everything that’s bad with the way it’s done.

I’d rather take the black nights we have and just use a torch 😄

[manic sage]

This is clear 1

foggy1

foggy2

rainy1

partly1

In these night times you can see clearly to varying degrees. The other ones are darker

[raw ruin]

Pressing home used to work with default gamma install, but after following directions to install hippo shaders it no longer does anything. I do think hippo reshade worked tho since I'm getting random snowflakes now which never happened before.

[tired geode]

Any good reshade suggestions ( would be good if install is not too complicated fucked my whole game once with hippos :D) Thanks in advance

[swift robin]

[swift robin]

try agression reshade

[manic sage]

Violence

[sly sand]

My preset but uh... it's hippo's addons

[fading pasture]

How on earth do I make my game look like this and also does it kill my pc

[sly sand]

I play around 80 fps with RX 6800 XT

and I post my screens in #╟📸screenshots

[fading pasture]

I see that, I'm unsure how I actually replicate it though... not great at this sort of thing

[sly sand]

This is my preset for Reshade, it goes together with Hippo's Reshade FX & Atmospherics that you can find here #1036172060969410590 message

You can download Reshade if you google it

Just follow that tut I linked

[fading pasture]

Thank you!

[hot forge]

Any good reshades?

[sour oar]

Many good reshades

I'm out of touch, but I can assure you Hippo's reshade is a good place to start!

[unborn stone]

Im at a loss. I had to reinstall a couple things due to crashes and stutters and I had to reinstall hippo's reshader but after I followed all of the steps its giving me a shader compilation failed error before loading into my save 😦

[ashen jacinth]

Are you using SSS 14.5? If you are and used hippos he has only just updated it to work with SSS 14.5 so thats most likely what caused the issue

[granite remnant]

So if I wanted to go about using your preset, how could I import it to do so? I already have hippos reshade, just can’t seem to find a preset exactly what I’m looking for

[sly sand]

by going to your Gamma install (C:\Gamma) -> Mods -> Hippo -> Bin and put the .ini file there

[granite remnant]

Perfect, thank you!

[sly sand]

Then you should be able to select the preset

[long nebula]

Hey, does anybody know how to turn down the shininess of the ground and grass when the sun hits them?

[sly sand]

Should be gloss

[long nebula]

is it safe to adjust? for me there's a line "DONT TOUCH"

I'm using hippo's shaders by the way

[sly sand]

hmm strange, i don't have that and I use it too

You could try toning it down a bit, just if things go wrong, back to 0.36

[long nebula]

I adjusted it, but it didn't do anything so I just reloaded back to 0.36

[sly sand]

Ah sadge

Did you follow the install guide?

[long nebula]

yup

[sly sand]

Did you delete shader-cache and so on?

[long nebula]

in the anomaly bin folder right?

[sly sand]

yeah

seems you did

[long nebula]

i'll check

[sly sand]

the game makes that folder so it'll be there

you could ask @manic sage to help you out

[long nebula]

yeah i deleted the shader cache folder

also ticked the box in the launcher to delete it just to be sure

[sly sand]

ah okay

then I have no idea why that's happening, I'm sure Hippo has seen this before

[long nebula]

alright, thanks for the help! I hope Hippo can help me out

[sly sand]

Yeah, wish that would've solved it

[long nebula]

Alright so it crashed a couple of minutes ago, then when I tried to reload the autosave when I entered Garbage I got a blue screen XD guess it's time to do a clean install and ditch the save

[sly sand]

shiit

not sure if the installer MD5's it before reinstalling a file

[raw ruin]

yopoo where this menu at

[sly sand]

press the 'Home' button

[raw ruin]

in game?

[sly sand]

Yes

[raw ruin]

yeah that stopped working for me after I instealled hippos

rip

[sly sand]

Did you install Reshade 5.2.0?

https://reshade.me/

[raw ruin]

All I did was follow the directions in the hippo file from moddb

[sly sand]

Aah

No don't do that

There's a vid

here:

#1036172060969410590 message

[raw ruin]

#1036172060969410590 message

woops yeah I went looking for it also

[sly sand]

lol

[raw ruin]

soooo does installing hippos from moddb with the atatched instructions do anything

[manic sage]

follow the video, its easier

[raw ruin]

Yeah I got that, I did the moddb install was wondering if that actually did anything or not

[severe cave]

i downloaded ur preset and is this like normal?

[rich sentinel]

That can be the glamarye effect

[severe cave]

it's not enabled

[rich sentinel]

Show me the effects you have enabled

[rich sentinel]

I don't understand why GloomAO and MXAO are enabled together (Also SSDO)

[severe cave]

Wich should i turn off?

[rich sentinel]

As far my knowledge goes the 3 serves the same purpose with different results, so you should test which one looks best on your view

Enabling only 1 at a time

MC_DAO also should be another effect for ambient occlusion (So disable that too)

[sly sand]

yes, that's the SSAO stuff

They all add different details imo

but yeah feel free to modify it to your needs

It's a small price to pay imo

[severe cave]

i mean yea i get ur point but i cant rlly read the dialogue cuz of the outline

[sly sand]

wait what it's that bad

[severe cave]

i see the outline of the bush

in the home screen

[sly sand]

But yes idd, MXAO can replace MC_DAO

Ah yes that's 'normal' lol

Reshade doesn't recognize the UI as a nonshader thing

[severe cave]

oh

[sly sand]

Reshade applies post processing to the whole screen, you can't choose what to mask

well you can, but it's basically a picture on top of reshade

Game Graphics -> Reshade -> UI_mask

Imo it's worth it, it's just the menu so , i'm by no means an expert in shaders or reshade dev

[thin karma]

Good afternoon folks. Just downloaded the base anomaly + gamma yesterday. Is there a nice beginner process for installing new graphics mods/ tweaking shaders? The pictures in the screenshots channel look absolutely nuts

[steel bison]

Go for hippo atmospherics

And look at pinned messages in that channel

There's an install guide

I suggest u check it out

There are some other great mods too tho

But I suggest hippo

Go to #1036172060969410590

[void stag]

I got no clue how to use rehade, can somebody link me a shade to make my game look more nice and not dead

[cedar adder]

can i control the ammout in grain fron nvg and radiation?

[left island]

Just follow the directions in the pins and you'll be all set towards a less dead looking Zone: https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1036172060969410590

I'm not even sure at this point

It's either the fourth or fifth account

#╓☢stalker-chat message

[golden viper]

where can I get original GAMMA reshade.ini? I click the save icon can it delete the original one, it doesn't look the same and it break my immersion, can't continue playing lol, or can some one show original setting? plz

[sly sand]

don't have the original anymore but you could try mine if you'd like

[golden viper]

thank you!

[left island]

np

[rocky coral]

could you pass me your ini? pls

[thick tendon]

flipped depth buffer, ensure ReShade.ini is using: PreprocessorDefinitions=RESHADE_DEPTH_LINEARIZATION_FAR_PLANE=1000.0,RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_UPSIDE_DOWN=0,RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_REVERSED=0,RESHADE_DEPTH_INPUT_IS_LOGARITHMIC=0

also you might want to cut down on the amount of shaders in use.. you don't need 20+ effects

[left island]

They're included with Atmospherics. 4 of them and several more.

You just need to make sure to install the reshade option when installing Atmospherics

[dreamy dock]

uuh, Which setting i need to change to slightly increase The game brightness and no i'm not talking about the night brightness

Oh i found it, Forget my question

[main shoal]

focal DOF ?

[sly sand]

That + ADOF (quint)

focal has only 1.0 scale

it's to blur that nasty distant AA away
