[brisk gyro]

ah, well.. not surprising it somehow works on dx11, it is supposed to

[hot flame]

i have the gtx 660 (not gtx 660m)

i play at dx11 with barely acceptable framerates

[brisk gyro]

out of curiosity do you have 2 or 4 gb VRAM?

[brisk gyro]

that’s impressive

[hot flame]

2gb vram

im planning to upgrade the gpu since it is the biggest bottleneck

the cpu is the least problem

[opal agate]

F

[brisk gyro]

do it man, you will save yourself some health and nerves, since 660m is for notebooks id have to buy whole new rig

[tawny depot]

Hi,
Is there any interest updating to last reshade ? (performance wise, others), I'm on 5.4.2 rn
Thx : )

[uneven sinew]

Yeah just do it. It's simple instal and will help with functionality

[tawny depot]

thanks ! 👌

[tawny depot]

how do I update, shall I just grab the file from reshade and run the installer, any specific things ?
Sorry my last reshade install was ages ago I forgot ^^

[uneven sinew]

No worries, yeah head to Reshade's website, download the newest version and run the installer. It will notice when you select Stalker again that you already had it installed and just update what it needs to!

Make sure to choose the "AnomalyDX11" or which ever version you use👍

[lunar jewel]

is mod db down? Im trying to access the reshade mod to get the ini and it keeps giving me an error

(aggressor reshade ini I mean)

[tawny depot]

Yes

[neat goblet]

hello i wonder how t get the same look of all the screenshot in this discord my game jut look like oblivion ...

[digital ginkgo]

By installing custom shaders, but if you don't want to bother, just wait for April 2, the new version of gamma releases with new graphics

[neat goblet]

oh nice the atmospheric one ?

by hippo ?

[ashen jacinth]

Yep thatll be default in 0.9

[ocean kelp]

Hello friends, quick question: when I boot the game reshade tells me to update at reshade.me cause mine is out of date, what exe do I point the updated reshade install to?

Disregard, I figured it out, leaving this here for posterity - Pick whatever DX version of the game you use in the anomaly folder

[quick fern]

How do I enable hippos shader? Or do I still need to download it?

[dense mirage]

Hello i have a problem where light sources turn everything it touches white and textureless

nevermind i fixed it by reactivation jakus shaders

[ashen jacinth]

Still need to install it, will be included in the next patch

[lethal snow]

Any good reshade recommendations for a standard gamma mod pack?

Currently have all filters turned off cuz idk where to start

[quick fern]

Is the next patch coming out in the next week by chance?

[ashen jacinth]

If im not mistaken its scheduled for the 2nd April but if moddb keeps having issues then itll be longer

[lethal snow]

There’s a note that says it may be delayed by a week but they will see how the moddb servers are so they don’t flood them

[split marsh]

Can someone recommend any reshade config (and how to install it) that improve the visibility for GAMMA?

[manic sage]

lower grass size and density

boom all the visibility you need

[crisp viper]

running hippo it looks good just kinda grainy any way to fix that?

[cosmic gust]

what thinking the same thing, can't seem to find a way to disable the grainy filtter

[past phoenix]

does anyone have a copy of/link to the txt file with install instructions for melting winters?

[winged urchin]

What about just disabling the "Film grain" shader?

[swift robin]

its in reshade. just read the selected settings

[radiant fjord]

whys hippo so difficult to install 💀

[gaunt pawn]

It'll be part of Gamma by default I believe. Next update coming soon.

[radiant fjord]

god i sure hope so

[ashen jacinth]

It's confirmed so do not worry!

[radiant fjord]

very nice!

[river pagoda]

difficult? Just follow instructions for gamma in mod (atmospherics) description

[jaunty breach]

what needs to be disabled for aggressor reshade to work?

[radiant fjord]

why did the creator of the reshade post such a weird ext program as an explanation on how to install it

[river pagoda]

idk

[ashen jacinth]

That wasn't hippo, his guide to install it is in moddb, the ext mod is something else looked after by someone else

[radiant fjord]

oh i see thank you

[radiant fjord]

is his moddb the atmospherics addon?

[ashen jacinth]

Yeah that's the one, there's a link in the description to the guide, it's a little lengthy to install at first but once you've got it all you need to do is update for further ones

[radiant fjord]

is it the guide with the weird EXT? 💀

[plucky plover]

SHADER CACHE

[ashen jacinth]

No not that one, just has a few other prerequisite mods you need to install but its all listed

[gloomy nymph]

are there any good reshades that can make the skybox more mellow cuz 90% of the time its complete white and the ground dark brown and i cant see for shit

[smoky goblet]

so i just got back into gamma and installed everything last time i played it looked very nice now thius time my game looks like this and i cant figure out why i checked all my graphics settings everything is washed out the sky is white and everything looks like its in dense fog,

[swift robin]

yea

it will cleart

try debug

change time weather

[smoky goblet]

i have fog off and weather off to see if it was that and it didn't affect it at all

[swift robin]

i reload i prev save

perhaps. your weather is paused

paused on fog. it can happen

[solid pine]

Dude I hope you drank some water

[swift robin]

that was an old sleep save

just quick loaded to show different weather and that my game sometimes looks foggy and lame

[uneven sinew]

For those who customize their reshades, is there any type of guide you could recommend? I use Hippos atmospherics and its great. Mainly just wanted to experiment with different colors, I don't know what to do other than check on or off different reshade options. Thanks

[tiny marlin]

I also hate this bright white effect on the distance, I literally can't see things from afar. anything to remove it or make it look better?

[winged urchin]

@manic sage Can I safely install the new SSS 15 update in combination with your reshades?

[manic sage]

Yes but there is a bug at the moment where you will crash in truck cemetery

its not related to my mod but SSS
so we have to wait for a hotfix from Tab the creator of SSS

[winged urchin]

Alright, thank you for the quick reply!
I'll wait for the hotfix then 🙂

[icy trench]

does anyone know a mod or multiple mods that makes gamma look like stalker 2? or close to...

[smoky goblet]

same i wish their was an easy way to get rid of it

[glacial spear]

stalker 2 has not even come out. how do we know how it looks like?

[solid pine]

Watch trailer

[worn hedge]

hey guys i just redownloaded gamma after a while

why is the agressor reshade disabled was it causing problems?

[compact patrol]

As someone told me, there is no agressor reshade, it is just some grass files taken from it

[mellow jacinth]

anyone know how to make the game greener, I have hippos atmospherics, i just want to change bushes and grass textures to something more vibrant

[woven badger]

its normal that the background looks in that way

[manic sage]

no

install issue

[woven badger]

i allready reinstall it

[manic sage]

I mean load order

[woven badger]

okok

[manic sage]

your load order is not right

[manic sage]

Im not familiar with the ext version of atmospherics

but generally the load order from lowest to highest is beefs nvgs > ES 1.10 > SSS > Atmospherics

Atmospherics having highest priority

[woven badger]

ok thanks!, im gona keep trying.

[glacial spear]

Ext atmos is based on SS 14.9

If you have issues reset the load order with Reset Profile and try again

[glacial spear]

Hippo Atmospherics profile is a dummy one (has no mods enabled), you have to choose between the three profiles available (Summer, Autumn and winter)

[glacial spear]

I realized atmospherics did update, so have updated both ext atmos profiles to Atmospherics GAMMA 1.63.9

[tawny root]

https://mega.nz/folder/pfYgiDpA#qqAFSyvwrC6_lmz1vGtyyQ

my reshade for the atmospheric mod

using the atmo version

@vapid oasis

[ashen jacinth]

This looks dope, will try it out

[junior dawn]

hey yall, tryna change keyboard bind for reshade now i have used reshade before but im being dumb im changing the KeyOverlayMenu= too so and so in my case im binding it too like f10, but then when i go in game it wont pop up the reshade menu for me and it still says press home key, and il state i dont have a home key im on a laptop

[INPUT]
ForceShortcutModifiers=1
InputProcessing=2
KeyEffects=0,0,0,0
KeyMenu=121,0,0,0
KeyNextPreset=0,0,0,0
KeyPreviousPreset=0,0,0,0
KeyReload=0,0,0,0
KeyScreenshot=44,0,0,0

thats my input section

fck never mind i sorted it my hole ini was wrong

[wheat kite]

How do you have that much foliage without your game freaking out

[cerulean egret]

How do I get the reshade.me to work? I keep trying to install it and it still says 5.4

[gloomy nymph]

so quick question trying to download agressor reshade it says drop the folder into the anomaly/bin folder

whats that

the gamma stuff doesnt have a folder called bin

[gloomy nymph]

i dunno does this look any good

kinda looks like fallout

[wheat kite]

go to your anomaly/bin folder ? what is so hard about that.

if such a folder doesn't exist then you've installed gamma incorrectly

[gaunt pawn]

Very nice! Thnx for sharing! Definitely trying out!

[gaunt pawn]

@tawny root To use your reshade we simply just drop your reshade folder into Atmos \bin\reshade-shaders folder and overwrite?

[tawny root]

Ye

Or no

Into the bin folder

With anomaly dx11 and all that

[gaunt pawn]

thnx

[sweet palm]

how i can reshade game

i am newbie

[glacial spear]

update to gamma 0.9 is your first step

[sweet palm]

can someone tell me how i can download shaders

i dowloaded it yesterday

bcs i have new pc

[glacial spear]

gamma 0.9 it just came out 1 hour ago

[sweet palm]

AH xd OK

and how i will do it

[glacial spear]

check #📢announcements

[sweet palm]

sorry but i dont know how i will update it

can i do it just in gamma installer ?

[glacial spear]

#📢announcements message

[sweet palm]

i cant open that launcher

and for what is that second link

[glacial spear]

I have not updated myself so I cant help you, but the launcher should work as I replaced it and it launch just fine

[sweet palm]

so i just need to replace it to gamma folder ?

[glacial spear]

the second link is total virus report of the new exe laucher

reading is power

[sweet palm]

and what is new in new update ?

and this trojan means what ?

[wheat kite]

So the new update is using atmos and it looks so much worse, it's less bright it's muted, I dislike. What was it using before 0.9 so I can go back ?

[sweet palm]

what i can do ?

[glacial spear]

#🔨base-gamma-support

[upper cypress]

Poor guy

[lament finch]

could i ask for ur ingame settings?

[echo hawk]

FYI: For me reshade failed to install properly with gamma 0.9, so to fix it you need to delete your reshade-shader folder in Anomaly/bin and copy paste the one in groks modpack installer/gamma/modpack _patches/bin.

[halcyon schooner]

hi guys, i just update to 0.9, i have to do something with the settings for hippo or its ready to go?

[weak perch]

Downloaded 0.9 and launch no problems. But when im in game it just looks very foggy. Is there same setting in reshade?

[pure relic]

gamma 0.9??????

[woven badger]

untill update to new version , its safe? because in virus total detects troyan activity.

[clever fractal]

It’s a false positive, as long as you get the launcher from this server you will be fine

[woven badger]

ok! thanks!

other thing, do you recommend to tick the delete resahde ddls option?\

[leaden marsh]

I totally love Hippo's work (I even bought him a coffee showing my appreciation...), and I have to say, objectively, 0.9 looks way more natural and pro than Gamma before.
Yet still, I don't like it 😭 Although I wanted to.
I circled through shader options (AtmosR, R+, AtmosGamma etc), weathers (clear, cloudy...) and day times, for hours now, and I cannot find a single one which I'd like a lot. It wouldn't be a problem, it's my subjective opinion. But my fear came true: that Gamma will not look like 'Gamma' anymore once in the future. And there is not an option to use the old look. I tried to disable Atmos, and re-enable some mods which needed to be disabled before when we installed Hippo's (Jakku's etc), deleted shader cache etc, but I cannot get it back.
The skies look bad, even the clear ones are cloudy all day, only before 6 AM and after 18 PM is there a bit of blue. And every weather preset, almost all day look the same or similar, dark, pale and dull. And fog everywhere. OK, it's Gamma, a post-apocalyptic game, but before what I liked that rarely and randomly the game looked nice and colourful, so we could wait for that while it was rainy and foggy etc. Now there's nothing to wait for...
I don't want to offend anyone, I TRULY appreciate these guys' work, but many of us loved the old Gamma look I presume. It'd be good to have it optional.
Now I have a big trust in my old 'offline installer', which I could use once for reinstall (I wanted to have it not because of the fearful updates, but because of server downs or sg). I try to put it back and see if it works (without updates of course).

[desert cedar]

Damn I still haven't downloaded 0.9

[leaden marsh]

This looks gorgeous indeed. Very cinematic. I could get similar looks in my 0.9 install, but I feel that it's better for making movies, and not that good for playing... old Gamma had many dark periods but still, it was clear and useful many times.
Idk, just my opinion... , mabye things will be polished with later updates, maybe it's just me whining over an awesome free game... I will get used to it finally I presume...

[white sundial]

hey there
iam searching the hole chat and dont find an answer
i try to open the reshade menu und i know it is pos1 / home key but it dosnt work
the change to an other button like shift f12 dont work either
so my question is how

[west bay]

anyone got a pack that looks super gloomy and dark?

[visual hearth]

Did you press default button in dynamic tone mapper? I found my game pretty dark before I did that

[manic sage]

There's some teething issues with the new update

most should be sorted if you press default on dynamic tonemap

[leaden marsh]

Nope, I will try it, thanks!

[leaden marsh]

Cheers bro, thanks for the tip! Anyway, this is what I just did since then: I erased my old Gamma, and made a completely new, fresh Install of everything. I started a game, most things default, Rookie village, morning. It's still dark a bit, but it's ok in the morning, and now I will be more patient, and try to get used to it. If You played 150-200 (realtime) hours of Gamma before, these changes are HUGE! I know I had trouble when I changed my Radeon card to Nvidia a few months ago, and it took weeks to set everything up well, and/or get used to the new settings (desktop/videos/games). This must be the case here too. I feel it in deep inside that it's looking fantastically cinematic, I tried the different shaders (R, R+, Film, Gamma), they all look great. Only my body tries not to accept it yet. I will be patient, and give it some time, to play it normally, not to hastily change the daytime/weather settings in the debug menu, and whining that it does not look as the old Gamma... (anyway, I have an instance of the old vanilla verision, which works still offline, so I can anytime go back to it for nostalgia)
I did one more thing: I tried to look back to your old (January?) Atmos version. This was when I started to play Gamma, and it was a big experience. I was amazed by your design that time. Now, it was not as appealing as I remembered it (people's good memories can cheat sometime..). Looked very cartoonish compared to this new style. This helped to accept this new design, because it's obvious that a lot of work is in it, and we have to step forward.
Also, I will check those tonemaps settings if I'll still have issues. I also try to follow the news for further debug.

[coral helm]

how do i remove reshades?

[uneven sinew]

Change is good Fellow Stalker

[leaden marsh]

Yeah, agreed. The problem is with me. The zone is constantly changing, I have to accept it 😉

Anyway, after a complete clean reinstall/re-download/reset of tonemap changed it drastically. First quick rough screenshot, must be legit I presume?

[manic sage]

Make sure to try the different reshade presets

by default gamma uses a subtle reshade

[leaden marsh]

I surely will! Can't wait to get home and start it up 😋

As I remember, it is the filmic one

[manic sage]

There is a filmic one

[leaden marsh]

How could I be that silly not to reset the tonemap?! Maybe I thought that becsuse it's part of Gamma now, the defaults are loading up automatically...

Hippo, anyway, how does it feel to state 'I am part of Gamma from now' 😎

[manic sage]

Feels nice but it wasn't a huge goal of mine

but I am proud to be a major part of how gamma looks

[leaden marsh]

It was not a huge goal? What if it had been?! 😂

Yeah totally, but new players won't know what does it mean, who you are etc. Only those will not forget who struggled through the old manual installs 😉

[sweet palm]

HI GUYS I UPDATE TO PATCH 0.9 and i want to know if is there some way how to have more better graphics withou instal more mods ?

[lethal snow]

anyone know why turning the reshade options on the in game overlay would give a performance gain of 10-15 fps?

[flat glacier]

how to fix it?

[visual hearth]

Turn up sun shadow quality

[flat glacier]

thank you man

[sweet palm]

HOW FIX THIS ?

[manic sage]

Switch from volumetric to screenspace in graphics settings

also no need for caps lock

[leaden marsh]

Maybe the Gamma install messed his windows keyboard settings 😏

[leaden marsh]

I dunno what happened... been playin' with different Gamma instance's I have (old Gamma, Anomaly, New Gamma etc) daytime/weather settings for hours... my eyes hurt... I needed to go sleep already... and interestingly today, after playing with the new version, I found old Gamma not appealing (which I loved until now). And after a few changes between several instances suddenly I started to freak out of the new one, in a good way. Finally it clicked in. Maybe it's just that my eyes started to not see the flaws but the beauty?! Or I accidentally made some change in something? In the 0.9 version I don't use anything else, and I always delete shader cache.
Made a few more screenshots, I selected the better ones. It's still just vanilla Gamma 0.9, with AtmosR+ shader preset, which is my favourite I think: https://photos.app.goo.gl/jdHPQkgf6JjLdKU26
Are they legit? Should they look like this? It's weird that 'I see' and it's not dark. Yesterday even the clear presets were dark, today I find them super bright at noon.

[wary crag]

hello, i'm having some weird lightning reflection on plants, i would like to know it was some bad setting on my part or something else

see the plant in front that reflects light like they are made of glass

[steel oar]

can we put both volumetric and screen space or is there a compatibility issue ?

[brazen arrow]

well i still have shader issues after trying whats been mentioned in announcements this morning. 😦 this is what it gave me as a screen shot... lol nothing

[brazen arrow]

okay just tried again and it worked but now i have these lines?

[manic sage]

increase shadow map resolution in the launcher

[distant sierra]

Should the dynamic tonemap reset be done even if I just clean installed

When I clicked default it made 5 changes

[leaden marsh]

yepp, it's better to do it always I presume... though as I see, it might be implemented in an update later, so we won't have to?!

[ruby ember]

is there anymod pack that transform the zone into summer ?

seeing brown everywhere stale after a while

[visual hearth]

checkout aydin grass tweaks in #1035807043933720576 he's releasing his spring version soon, nice and green

[waxen furnace]

just started a new save after updating is it supposed to look like this?

shadows on the gloves look weird

[languid portal]

anyone got a shader that makes the game look less muddy? getting kinda tired of it

[visual hearth]

try pressing ~ key, type cfg_load AtmosR

change reshade preset to AtmosR+ if you have a beefy PC, or AtmosR if not a beefy PC

[languid portal]

ill try

[fleet smelt]

Change to summer or autumn textures in mo2. Search "grass" and reinstall the only mod shown there to switch between, or back to winter if you want

[leaden marsh]

Aydin Spring + AtmosR+ is AWESOME!

[keen gate]

it asks me a password

[tropic belfry]

i need a recommendation for a good reshade

[sick tinsel]

anyone using the EXT edition on 0.9? is it ok to use or will it crash?

[crude crypt]

Aydins Grass + Trees, i use the new spring version and AtmosR with some tweaks to vibrance and saturation and it looks great.

[sturdy solstice]

What changes between AtmosR and AtmosR+?

[crude crypt]

AtmosR+ looks better but is a bit more demanding than the regular AtmosR preset if im correct?

[sturdy solstice]

I didn't realise there was presets so I was using the stock one all this time and I just found out how to change the grass and trees lol. Been playing about a month just normal

I have a pretty beefy rig but I'm trying to just stomp out any tiny frame drops anyone know what settings are good to change? I probably shouldn't of cranked everything lol.

[crude crypt]

Also make sure to check in the Atmospherics mod post since there were some stuff going on with the reshade folder paths and such. Right now the reshade loads older presets from the bin folder in Anomaly folder rather than through the atmospherics mod folder in mo2.

[sturdy solstice]

Oh really wheres that post @crude crypt

[lethal ledge]

yo, does anyone know why my water looks very blocky at the edges? The water also tends to flicker with certain conditions etc.

[lethal dune]

Is it normal to get no shadows at all in-game? Is there a setting that I have to tweak or did I just fucked up in the installation phase?

[lethal ledge]

turn on sun shadow in visual advanced

[lethal dune]

It's already on

Trying to set it to Ultra and not Low

Nothing changed

[crude crypt]

Heading to work but check the Atmospherics - G.A.M.M.A mod post in mods-posting and scroll up a bit. i cant find the exact post rn.

[crude crypt]

Got soft water on in settings?

[lethal ledge]

yea, it doesnt change it

what the fuck
🤣

[sturdy solstice]

Thanks bud

[simple vapor]

Any recommendations on shaders plus on how to install them?

[random mirage]

Go home puddle, your drunk 😂

[lethal ledge]

Does anyone know if anomaly by itself had a reshade?

[echo hawk]

no, i dont think it ever had one

[lethal ledge]

Alright, because I'm looking at footage of it and think it still looks great.

[old hornet]

Have the same issue, it almost looks like when people would crank up the gamma to see better in dayz/arma.

[waxen furnace]

yea so far i havent found a fix for it

it looks fine when youre getting hit by sunlight but its bad in the shade

[old hornet]

Just for fun, what monitor are you using? When comparing between my main (oled) and second (cheap IPS) monitor, there is a lot of shadow issues that aren't visible anymore on the 2nd one, like if the game fails to render some of the deeper dark. At this point I'm guessing it's just an engine thing and the fix will be to throw more reshade at it.

[manic sage]

This happened for klean, but as of last night a complete reinstall of gamma fixed it

And not choosing atmos gamma can help

Also I’d choose a different reshade than atmosGAMMA

perhaps the one just labeled atmos

With cfg_load atmos in the console

For that specific one

[old hornet]

It didn't fix it completely, but it looks good enough that I'm betting that alone will be enough for @waxen furnace to be pretty much fixed

[manic sage]

Yeah I’ve got no clue why a small majority of people are getting this issue. But after back and forth dms from klean , a complete reinstall of gamma fixed it.

No idea why this issue occurs on some people’s set ups

[waxen furnace]

yea i went through the install guide stuff on your mod page

[old hornet]

I'm pretty sure it's more a monitor "issue". My 2nd monitor is a cheap IPS with bad black levels while my main is an oled. I can't notice the shadow banding on my 2nd monitor since it just, well has ass-level of backlight. On my oled tho I can se EVERYTHING in pitch black night when using stock config.

[waxen furnace]

yea my current monitor also isnt the best at color in general

and black levels are kinda icky

[waxen furnace]

complete reinstall in what way?

[manic sage]

Wouldn’t it be the opposite? As oleds typically are darker and have a better contrast ratio

Because at night I’ve made it so that the shadows are super dark. Now if you’re using debug to check night time it’s going to be wonky

And when checking screenshots on my phone (oled) the night time shots look fine

[waxen furnace]

just through launcher or actually deleting stuff

[manic sage]

Actually deleting

[old hornet]

Exactly, the game seems to skip a lot of the darker tones and go straight to darker grey, especially at night. The sky is pitch black, but literally everything around is still very visible.

[waxen furnace]

oh no

my internet is bad

[manic sage]

How does this look to you

Looks fine on my oled phone

[waxen furnace]

looks good

mostly

[manic sage]

Dark where it needs to be and bright where there is moonlight

[waxen furnace]

not sure about the very dark tones on the right

left*

i mean

[manic sage]

Because there’s no ambient moonlight there

[waxen furnace]

so klean just deleted gamma entirely and reinstalled?

[manic sage]

But I’ll leave it at that, unless someone can help me replicate their issues I can’t fix anything

[waxen furnace]

yee

thats fair

[old hornet]

Best example of this issue so far for me, 2nd monitor looks great, but my oled I can literally see everything in the dark with a grey-ish banding (especially the big tree or rock on the left

[manic sage]

http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/contrast.php

Does your oled pass any of these tests?

[waxen furnace]

im redoing the monitor setup on windows rn

i dont think i redid it after changing to full rgb

[manic sage]

Mainly contrast, gamma, black level, white saturation

My iPhone oled can pass them and if you’re oled monitor is up to snuff then your oled should as well

[old hornet]

yup, all is good

[manic sage]

That’s weird that you can see everything then

Because what I see on my phone is the same as on my monitor black level wise. Just my phone has a better contrast ratio and blacks are true blacks

[old hornet]

made a mockup of what things looks in gamma/anomaly most of the night time

[manic sage]

Yeah that’s ugly

[manic sage]

Not at all similar to this

[old hornet]

it's like it jumps from 100% black to 90% instead of having an in-between

[manic sage]

With reshade off and on?

[old hornet]

that one was literally straight up anomaly with darkest nights enabled

[manic sage]

Oh

So you're issue isn't specifically atmospherics

anomaly in general?

[old hornet]

took a screenshot and twaked the colors to imitate what I see on my main

pretty much, don't have issues in other games so far

[manic sage]

What monitor do you have?

[old hornet]

alienware AW3423DW

[manic sage]

Do you have HDR enabled?

[old hornet]

nope, that just makes things even worse

[manic sage]

Yeah I bet

By all accounts that monitor should be good

I dont know why anomaly bugs you out

Here's my user.ltx

incase anyone finds that my settings fix their issues

[waxen furnace]

thats for anomaly or where do you put that

?

[manic sage]

you put it in the anomaly directory the one that gamma uses

inside the appdata folder to be specific

[waxen furnace]

im doing the test you sent but it talks about dvi or vga connection during the "sharpness" section
do i just ignore this section if im using hdmi cable? @manic sage

[old hornet]

ignore that, it`s not relevant for hdmi/dp.

[glacial spear]

everything looks good but I see sky color banding but maybe is the picture compressed

[manic sage]

Odd i don’t see anything on my monitor or phone

[lethal dune]

I'm still having this problem, does anyone know a solution? Thanks

[tropic belfry]

where can i find some of the reshades?

[manic sage]

just press the home key

and you can find something that works for you

[keen gate]

Any ideas on how to make things like cables and tree branches smoother?

I mean the ones further away

[wet epoch]

hI! I have this problem whit texture moon :C

[lean nebula]

that's just playing in 1080p unfortunately

i would just change the flora overhaul mod

apparently aydin's spring is pretty good

[sour oar]

You playing in 1080p?

Ah yeah

It’d do me a lot of good to scroll down huh?

[leaden marsh]

That's my problem too. I would love winter setting, but naked trees look bad on my PC. You can make it smoother with AA x8, but this drops my framerate to like 30 FPS...
And of course, higher resolution would help also, but I can afford 'only' 1080p

[lean nebula]

yeah i'm in 1080p too

i do prefer leaves on trees but even then some things look bad

[leaden marsh]

Honestly, I have 'just' a 1660Super, which I just bought a few months ago, and I'm super happy with it, since I didn't think I'll ever have a decent VGA. Especially that in the past years I didn't really care about games. This HeXmas I worked a lot, and I finally decided it to upgrade my PC, and it was almost because of Anomaly! So I won't be a greedy bastard, but... yeah, if You'd like to enjoy it full, You'll need better gear, higher resolution...
The game still looks pretty decent already. I love it, the new settings.
It's funny. I'm so into Gamma right now, that since I have my new VGA I didn't even play any other games. Though I was a big FPS fan before, and I promised that if I'll have the upgrade I'll check Doom Eternal etc... now: f!ck cares about those sh!ts 😎

[lean nebula]

i have a 1060 lol

will upgrade next summer

to a 3060ti

possibly 3070

we'll see

possibly an amd card

rx 6700 or something

[lethal ledge]

Can you guys tell me where or which are the reshade dlls? I want to back them up

[sturdy solstice]

How come I only get Winter summer and Autumn wheres spring?

[lean nebula]

update the mos

Cheers bud

[leaden marsh]

Good luck with them! 😉

[lean nebula]

ty mate

[tardy lance]

Hey so I was testing the reshade presets and I went to one of them and now every time I start my game it loads the preset until it hits the last two and gets stuck. I can’t switch the preset or anything since it’s in the middle of compiling, any suggestions?

[lean nebula]

maybe delete the preset it's stuck on loading from the game files

@tardy lance

[tardy lance]

I’ll try that out, thank you

[willow sleet]

Been working on my custom reshade for the last couple of months, here are a few screenshots I took of the reshade in action. Will post the DL for the Gummy Reshade if people are interested and I get done with a few more tweaks to hopefully increase the FPS.

[lean nebula]

looks nice

i enjoy a more dark and less saturated type beat

[raven wind]

Ping me when you release it i'd be willing to give it a try

hopefully you get that fps situation sorted

😝

[willow sleet]

will do!

[keen gate]

yes, how can I play on higher resolution?

my screen is 2560x1080

some way to "trick" the rendering into 4k?

[visual hearth]

Nvidia DSR or AMD VSR

[keen gate]

Thank you. What is the game executable? If I open gamma it directs me to the mod organizer and I'm not sure if I should put the nvidia options on that executable

anomaly launcher?

[visual hearth]

Don’t have to do anything with mo2 or game executable. Right click desktop, nvidia control panel, turn on DSR or DLDSR if available, pick the resolution you want. Launch the game and change resolution to the new one

[keen gate]

ok thank you

[visual hearth]

Oh and make sure the game is in full screen NOT borderless otherwise it won’t work afaik

[quaint isle]

guys can u select different reshades without ur screen going black? the only reshade profile i can select and not have a black screen is atmosGAMMA

nvm the "quint_regrade.fx" effects were making it a black screen

[leaden marsh]

In theory it must work, all of them, Amtos, AtmosR, R+... something nstalled wrong or not at all?

[quaint isle]

i turned those 2 off and its fine now

what do they even do

[keen gate]

which multiplier factor for DSR should I enable?

[visual hearth]

Turn them back on and untick performance mode

[quaint isle]

i still get black screen

[visual hearth]

For 4k? Which ever one is 3840 x 2160

[keen gate]

don't have it... maybe cause I'm on 21:9

[visual hearth]

Screenshot your reshade settings

[quaint isle]

do u mean the effects enabled on a preset?

[visual hearth]

Oh yeah so which ever is 2x

[visual hearth]

Settings tab at the top

[visual hearth]

Under effects search paths, delete the first 2 make the remaining one exactly this

.\reshade-shaders\Shaders**

Then click home, and reload at the bottom

[quaint isle]

still getting black screen

😦

[keen gate]

Done! Looks better thanks bra

[visual hearth]

Sorry, I’m not sure why else that would be happening. You should go to #1035807043933720576 , Atmospherics, and ask in there too

[quaint isle]

alright thanks

[little elm]

Dont know if this is correct place to ask but which mods should i disable to get greener trees and actual leeves on them? i tried disabling autumn retexture no leeves and garderner of the zone but my game still looks grey and brown with no leeves.

[ashen jacinth]

Reinstall aydins grass mod and he has a summer or spring preset which is alot greener

[little elm]

That worked thanks man

[vale sedge]

so does any one know what setting or mods make rocks look like pumice stones\

[sterile acorn]

I had hippos reshade installed, now that I've updated I can't open the reshade menu? Anyone know what's up?

[swift robin]

anyone know a reshade option to improve aa on trees? idk why but in 0.9 if i reinstall i get shitty frames and great aa but i reinstall again aa and textures break and fps is 70+

[halcyon schooner]

Anyone is using Reshade + RTGI? I need help to setup rtgi

[tardy lance]

I’ve noticed since updating the textures for my hands and arms are modeled but just like black textures, if I take off the sunrise armor it’s also dark as hell

[tropic belfry]

i tried doing the agressor reshade and doing the grass and stuff

well it didnt work and i dont know why

[fringe patio]

would like to know about those stones too

[swift robin]

Did you ever figure this out

[worn coral]

whats the default preset reshade of gamma? and which one do you guys recommend using?

is there a tutorial for using the reshades?

[wet knoll]

I have replaced rocks textures for the new ones and it fixed the issue, smth is wrong with rocks textures in the 0.9

[fickle imp]

Hey guys, i was wondering if i coukd get someone to help me install the roadside reshade preset rq, im kind of inexperienced and i already broke my gamma with the last reashade i tried to do by myself, if anyone wants to help feel free to dm or ping me, thanks 👍

[granite dragon]

What did you replace the rock textures with

[wet knoll]

with another ones, any rock textures will do

[granite dragon]

Which specific texture did you use, if its in #1035807043933720576

[wet knoll]

it was rebuild's version one

[brazen mural]

fog

[storm forum]

So when I turn the game on, it says to update reshade.me. How do I do that?

[grave nacelle]

kind of a noob question - if i wanted to increase saturation (increase color and depth) is that a reshade or a setting in the menu?

[tropic belfry]

what reshade is this

[wary crag]

I was using the one that came with the actual Gamma

But i pumped up most graphical options

[edgy breach]

When i start the game it says to update Reshade to 5.8 but i dont see how to do that, any suggestions?

[thick fjord]

Anyone know what option is responsible for such strange waves flowing over the ground?

[crude crypt]

Try increasing the shadow map in Anomaly launcher, i got mine at 4096 with no banding.

[crude crypt]

You can change saturation while in game if you go to Settings - Visual - Basic - Basic Light Settings. Or in Reshade menu and scroll down to PD80_04_Contrast_Brightness_Saturation.fx

[unique socket]

my sun makes a square of lighting...

[leaden marsh]

Wut? I thought You edited the pic

It's like an album cover or so

[unique socket]

Nah man, that was an actual bug xd Managed to fix it tho

[leaden marsh]

[soft remnant]

i'm having trouble disabling depth of field when aiming down sights, I have tried disabling the weapons DOF section of the SSS settings in the MCM but it seems to do nothing

[narrow rain]

I am having same issue

as well as putting in the command

[lean nebula]

still like this for me lmao

[soft remnant]

@narrow rain #🔨base-gamma-support message

testing now

[forest jetty]

Im new to this server and stalker gamma/modding stalker in general. Is there any adjustments we can do to make the game look better visually besides what the (Home) key brings up

[soft remnant]

Setting "r2_dof_enable = 1" to "0" in the.. "mods\Shaders cumulative pack for GAMMA\gamedata\scripts\ssfx_weapons_dof.script" file but leaving it on in... "mods\190- Screen Space Shaders 15.0 - Ascii1457\gamedata\scripts will fix the weapons DOF section of the SSS settings in the MCM. or at least works for me.

now the sliders work

[soft remnant]

having.. "r2_dof_enable = " set to "1" in the Shaders cumulative pack config but "0" in 190- Screen Space Shaders 15.0 - Ascii1457 config just disables it. so no idea what that setting does apart from brake the sliders.

[bold obsidian]

Hello, i have a Question.I like how my game looks with the new hippo reshade, but it seems like the distance is blurry and grainy. can i do something about that?

[leaden marsh]

I think that's normal. You can max out all distance option but at the far distance it will always be blurry. Maybe with some deeper settings in the shaders?

Anyway, this looks great IMHO

[bold obsidian]

Ok Thx myby i can change some settings more in the reshade

[fringe adder]

how can i make darkness look better? it's 19:30 in the screenshot

I'm using atmosGAMMA which i think it's the default

[tawny root]

Get a night vision

[leaden marsh]

[warped estuary]

anyone have any recommendations for little tweaks to the normal shader to make the game look better?

[shrewd sky]

Well it can get pretty dark, but it shouldn't look like that at 19:30 xD there's also a "brighter" nights option somewhere in the options menu, perhaps that will help.

[visual hearth]

Switch to borderless see if that fixes it

[brazen turtle]

any advice for small/easy tweaks i can make to my reshade? I like a lot of the changes to the look in most recent update but it feels a bit bright/clear if that makes sense

[graceful yacht]

Resolution will make a big difference. If it's 1080p fuhgetaboutit

[brazen turtle]

Is updating reshade helpful? Mine says its out of Date

[raven wind]

Do you by chance know what the rock texture is called? Trying to just replace the one texture and finding out what mod is causing this

my best guess right now is that it's one of the gamedata>textures>grnd> and in there it's one of the grnd_rocks textures

[lethal ledge]

Which aydin's preset do you guys prefer?

[ashen jacinth]

At the moment been running summer for a while, the new spring preset is too green for my reshade sadly

[turbid dove]

hey guys where i do put reshades I downloaded?

[paper silo]

what did you do?

[unique socket]

I deleted shader cache, downloaded atmospherics for gamma and re-updated

But instead i got a different problem with lighting in the distance

I don't know why but the whole install is just broken for me when it comes to visuals

[paper silo]

Gamma visuals are kinda shit

thanks btw

[unique socket]

ye no probs

[manic sage]

You can always tune down the saturation/vibrance for spring

[lethal ledge]

is that in mcm maybe?

[manic sage]

reshade

[lethal ledge]

okay, thanks.

[ashen jacinth]

Working on my reshade here and there so will get to that at some point, ty hippo

[unique socket]

Still having this black distant fog... wasn't there before

[raw mountain]

Is there a way in weather editor to keep my values for all configuration?
For example: I wanna change the fog color and I want it to apply in any time with the w_clear1 preset.
Is it possible?

[old vigil]

the walls seem too bright anything I can do to change that?

[manic sage]

Can you try switching to borderless mode?

in your ingame settings

and let me know how that looks

as in show me a screenshot after

[soft silo]

can someone help me? I'm seeing the spring and summer screenshots and I have no idea how to do that nor what mods need to be installed. I'm playing around with reshade and all the presets I try look like garbage

[echo hawk]

Spring is installed by default in the latest GAMMA update.

[soft silo]

are there any mods that override it in the shader's list? How would I switch it?

[old vigil]

@manic sage I am in borderless

[soft silo]

This is what I got so far

[manic sage]

Venator is typing ...

we shall wait 10 minutes now :/

[echo hawk]

To switch it you reinstall Aydin grass tweak and change the version you want.

[manic sage]

Did you ever fix your grayscale issue Venator?

[echo hawk]

Everything in gamma disable should be disabled

[echo hawk]

You know im not so sure anymore. My blacks look really good and deep its just that theres patches of blue and purple when im between a darker area and an area that is lit

[manic sage]

Odd

[echo hawk]

Ill have some more hours to test tomorrow morning

[soft silo]

I made the changes like you suggested and it works now, thanks @echo hawk

[echo hawk]

You're welcome!

[undone lion]

I have this exact problem, but it only happens to me when I disable SSS

But I can't have SSS without the NVG shaders (for some god forsaken reason I get the error rendering shaders or something) that I don't like

I don't know why, in older versions I did tweaks like disabling NVG and having other shaders working and it looked god while maintaining 40-30 fps

But now it just don't work and I'm just giving up and just disable all the shaders

[unique socket]

Which SSS mod do you mean? Screen Space Shaders by the Ascii guy?

[steady wasp]

Can anyone please tell me what shader I can use to make the shadows deeper/darker without affecting anything else.
I used to use "r2_sun_lumscale_amb", and it used to work perfectly, but now it constantly gets overridden.

[undone lion]

Yep, tho I kinda fix it by just having everything else active too but with tweaks in the configuration archives

[compact talon]

what would be the best AA setup cause im sick of these edges in the distance

playing in 2k looking like its stretched 720 lol

[unique socket]

that one is flagged as missing for me, might be the center of the problem

It's fixed now

I installed the newest SSS update from the downloaded section and deleted shader cache before starting the game

[raw isle]

So these shader modes on the default list that are not turned on are different shader options to make the game look better correct?

[faint arch]

aggressor is a reshade and the others are shaders but i dont know if they will conflict with hippos shaders that should already be working in game.

i would say try em and find out.

[raw isle]

Cool thank you, or should I just follow the reshade tutorial that is pinned?

Sorry didnt see that pin until just now lol

[swift robin]

Anyone got any reshade recommendations? Can’t seem to get any good settings.

[static stirrup]

same, i see everyone with this cool reshades and mine is just the normal one

[swift robin]

I also can’t get it back to default settings which bothers me

Had to do a full reinstall

[static stirrup]

Big oof

[mortal cloak]

i got that sniper yesterday

[unique socket]

It got me my first exoskeleton and it was also the Mercenary Nosorog 🙂

[sly orbit]

im kind of new to reshades does anyone have a good recommendation for shaders?

[static stirrup]

watch ur dm

[swift robin]

@static stirrup thank you

[static stirrup]

no problem brother

[opal raven]

What are you thinking guys ? Is it perfect ?

[swift robin]

how'd you get yours to look like this?

[opal raven]

im using Cinematic GAMMA Preset with some tweaks made by me

[swift robin]

I don't see it on the default preset list, where'd u download the preset

[opal raven]

yes its not installed by default ... its a good question ! XD

[opal raven]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/cinematic-g-a-m-m-a-reshade-v1-3

MAXIMUM SPEED (fps)

[swift robin]

After a fresh install, the game looks 10x better

[undone lion]

hello, how i can disable the NVG shaders without everything (the other shaders) falling apart?

[swift robin]

I would tell you if I knew :(

[zinc adder]

your game looks great howd you get all the grass and overgrown look?

[proud snow]

disable dynamic tonemap in MCM

damn thanks @opal raven

[tulip yew]

I don't know if this is the right channel but I have a lighting problem with surfaces.

[opal raven]

its not a reshade problem, its a engine problem... try to rais your shadowmaps in the anomaly launcher ^^

[tulip yew]

ok I'll try that

[balmy ravine]

Try DLDSR if you can run it. Looks and run smooth from 1080p to 1620p. I combine it with ig SMAA since this one is light to run

[compact talon]

I will try it out thanks, tho I haven't noticed ANY effect from any ig AA, and I compared screenshots specifically, I think it is disabled somehow in favor of shaders

[balmy ravine]

SMAA kinda works but its barely noticeable. As for the other option with multipliers it just looks and run bad

Also use high smoothing with DLDSR, it oversharpen the image quite a bit otherwise 👍

[olive herald]

Need a second opinion, First one is Agressor with some basic light adjustments and the second one is AtmosR+

[opal raven]

AtmosR+

[somber parcel]

any "bold" reshades?

like not color corrections but very big color changes to the world

[static stirrup]

hahahah im glad

[manic sage]

Phrozac

They’re a part of gamma

[primal iron]

@glacial spear which one is that?

[glacial spear]

what?

[primal iron]

to make it look like that? @glacial spear

[glacial spear]

you mean the video?

[primal iron]

yeah

[glacial spear]

uhnn it's a bug. if you use the latest demonized exes with no screenspace shaders (Interactive Grass ) it does that. at least I was able to replicate it this way

It was a kind of a joke as more fps

[primal iron]

oh okay i didnt know it was a bug lol

[oblique yoke]

thanks brah

[potent hollow]

yo guys Nvidia RTX Remix is finally out. Anyone try it out yet??

wondering if it works out of the box

[severe trout]

what settings would you guys recommend for a good visual/performance balance?

[arctic lake]

What is Dldsr? Is it a setting in reshade?

[thorny vortex]

its in nvidia control panel

[arctic lake]

Ty, ill try to use it, i play on 1920 but i feel like some trees or objects looks much worse and pixelated

I hope this will hel0

Help*

I have used DLSS in skyrim before eith amazing results

[balmy ravine]

Yeah its not the same thing tho 😉

[arctic lake]

Is it similar?

Ah ok

[balmy ravine]

No, you will render your game at a higher resolution

thus decreasing performances quite a bit. But I don't think its too heavy for us 1080p user

[arctic lake]

Is a rtx 3070 ok u think?

Its barely used by the game now

[balmy ravine]

oh yeah. I have a 3060ti and I run 2.25 with some headroom and good settings in game

[arctic lake]

And the image looks better? Less pixelated?

I feel like i see all cables having saw teeth even when i use AA from reshade

[balmy ravine]

dont use antialiasing, or only use ig SMAA with dldsr. Its light to run. Yes it will be far less pixelated, start at 70/80% smoothing then increase if its too sharp to your liking

will never be like native high resolution tho, but for me its legit one of the best tech we have 😉

Also run it fullscreen its important. You then have to choose the resolution in game

[arctic lake]

As long as its better tham what i have now

[balmy ravine]

bro I played so much years at 1080p idk how I did that

this hurt my eyes now

[arctic lake]

R3ally

Omg ure making me excited for this

I also play on 1080 for years

Well my monitor is1080p anyway

[balmy ravine]

Lol only in stalker tho. I think it doesnt fit lot of games

for stalker it looks

[arctic lake]

Amazing

How much fos do u have

Got any stutters or anythinf?

Mini freezes?

I found an epic thing today

After years of playing it and trying all things from fps optimization channel and even more from reddit

But notjing worked, i would have down to 45 fps in some areas

It has to do with windoes power plan, minimum cpu utilizatiion , change it to 60 or more

Eveb in performanxe power plan i had it at 10%

[balmy ravine]

I lock my fps at 90, experience is as smooth as 1080p. It drops quite a bit sometime but it stay in that 70+ range. Also I use gsync and low latency mode. That latter option is important to reduce stutters

[arctic lake]

Low latency mode in nvidia control panel, right?

I think i have it on auto or sometjing, i was tinkering with it lately

[balmy ravine]

Yeah. Either on or Ultra is doing the same job at reducing input lag and latency

[arctic lake]

Cool man, i cant wait to try those

Today i played even warfare mode and im still at 70 fps plus

I didnt go to jupiter or dead city where i usually have fps prpblems

[balmy ravine]

Never tried warfare but now I understand you have stutter :p I thought this gamemode wasn't always smooth to run

[arctic lake]

I jjst tried it today,tbis week i only llayed story mode

And i still had drops to 45 fps even tho i used low settings, all fps improvements from the channel, lowered mutants and hmstalkers populations to 0.5

But agter i did thag power plan thingy i skyrocketed to whatever fps lock i lut and i keep it at 70 dfor now

[balmy ravine]

I think you cant do much at some point, we all have stutters (I think linked to model spawns or things like that, not that savy to know whats causing it)

[arctic lake]

And jjst to test that I am not dreaming , i started a new save game eoth warfare..itd unbelievable how butter smokth it is

Some stutters are when auto saving or when lots of npc spawn or stuff like that. ,thats normal

[balmy ravine]

What cpu do you have just for reference ? I used normal power plan for quite some time without issues (ryzen 5800x)

[arctic lake]

5600x

[balmy ravine]

Ok weird Anyway I have mine set at minimum 100% right now 😉

[arctic lake]

U set it yourself or was it like that?

Ill try to 100% too haha

[balmy ravine]

I just use the high perf power plan, then set the sleep etc like it is on the normal mode

you could also put 100% directly in the normal plan

[arctic lake]

I mean the minimjm procesor util

Yea i know

[balmy ravine]

it isn't changing much, cpu will still downclock like normal I've seen

[arctic lake]

I have this cool idea about making a mod that takes all text from wuests and uses AI text to voice program to make all quests have a stalker audio voice

But canot find a program that speaks english with russian accent

[balmy ravine]

lol is there even good programs like that with a really credible tone ?

[arctic lake]

I think eleven labs

I got the idea while seeing an addon for wolrd of warcraft

https://youtu.be/Ppp3diO5O18

[balmy ravine]

the first voice on the site actually sound convincing, not bad

[arctic lake]

Too bad it costs money

I think you can. Even feed it voice from sidorovich for example and then it will copy his accent and tone, that would be cool

[balmy ravine]

I would do all kind of stupid things with a tool like that

[compact talon]

hi, I got to play today, so I was wondering, how do I get DLDSR? don't see that option in the default gamma reshade, should I download something else?

or maybe someone else could tell me where I can get DLDSR

[strange grail]

If anyone can help, I have tried everything, and maybe this is what I get for trying to compare my screen to a youtubers...i have an 11900k, 3080, 32gb ram, and I just want the game to push smooth haha. It is grainy, and just not clean. I do get decent frames, have tried dldsr, switching shaders, messed with settings and it may be the game engines lack of power to give me what. I am putting it in 2k instead of 4k because this game will make my gpu run at a higher temp than if i am ray tracing cyberpunk. Any ideas!?! haha

[compact talon]

upscaled 2k to 4k game with AA looks absolutely crisp

[tawny root]

[hollow aspen]

idk if I should ask it here but
can anyone help me with this problem?
bushes and trees like always like this from the distance
but this weird texture goes away when I come closer

[hidden venture]

Maybe pour a little water on your gpu, mine does that sometimes when it's really really dry

[hollow aspen]

yeah can confirm
it worked 👍

[spice raven]

There are so many shader options I have no idea what to do with it all. Any shaders yall recommend?

[hollow aspen]

Try this

[primal crescent]

Set mip bias to the max

[balmy ravine]

Hey this is in your Nvidia control panel. I don't know if AMD has something similar. If you need more info on that, search on the discord or earlier in this channel 😉

[compact talon]

thank you, I have found it out yesterday, upscaled the game to 4k and it looks amazing

[balmy ravine]

Nice 😄 I don't have the power for the full 4k dsr but it does looks wonderful. I have 30/40 fps with it lol.

You can actually go 0% smoothing if you use the 4k dsr. Anything higher bring gaussian blur to the image

[compact talon]

so far I used it at around 30%, but I will try out 0% and see how it looks👍

[balmy ravine]

0% look good but only in 4k. Other DSR res not good

[compact talon]

it seems like having it at 0 gives more space to use any AA you'd like

[arctic lake]

Do I have to change in game resolution too? Or just enable dslr in nvidia control panel?

Dsr .whatrvere

Dldsr*

[balmy ravine]

It will create a new resolution that you need to choose in game

Theres also a mod to get bigger fonts to activate, otherwise text will look tiny

[hollow aspen]

Soo
What I did is, I just reset my gamma mod organiser to default
And it worked for me
But thank you anyways

[minor urchin]

what do you guys think to be the best grass season

[primal crescent]

Spring for me, it looks so good with the gamma film preset

[fresh solstice]

Nice preset with Project Inverno from Atmospherics film presets

[undone stump]

dayum

the graphics in 0.9 went insane

[quiet nexus]

that looks really good, what is atmospherics film presets?

[fresh solstice]

Sorry I was in a rush. If you have Atmospherics mod by Hippo then if you reinstall that mod you'll see he has filmic reshade presets. Although you could just manually download from moddb and take the presets lol I did it the weird way. He's got 5 presets in there. They all look pretty good especially on winters

[quiet nexus]

Badass, thanks for the answer! I haven't put on inverno, I'm using the spring foliage rn, but I bet it would still look good. Your screenshots are on another level. This is my first playthrough and I was gonna change the foliage with the seasons 🧠 🙂

[mellow jacinth]

anyone know how to fix bushes and shrubs having a green haze around them?

[vocal tree]

whats the shortcut to open the shader menu

[forest vortex]

fn + home

@vocal tree

[vague sage]

any way to make my game look better, because it looks a bit weird right now

[native wing]

what shaders do yall reccomend

[vague sage]

Do you select the preset in the Reshade menu when you reinstall it or nah?

[undone stump]

man the graphics is much improving, people also keep posting better photos

[somber parcel]

my reshade

W or L

[somber parcel]

i love my big saturation

[plucky plaza]

on 0.9, reshade should be pre-installed right ?

[fresh solstice]

It'll be in tbe reshade menu if you install it, it's Home key as the overlay shows up and there will be a drop down menu at the top of the reshade screen. You can select the presets like tbe Grim. Zone, poison etc they're named.

[fresh solstice]

Yes.

[plucky plaza]

If i messed up a preset pressing "default settings" thinking it's gonna use the preset default ), is there anyway i can revert it ?

[plucky plaza]

Yeah

[fresh solstice]

Usually if I mess up I just reinstall reshade. Takes a few seconds

[thorn mountain]

Sorry for noob question, but I deleted reshade DDLs to test perf gains. How do I reinstall them?

[swift robin]

im looking at peeps reshades here and my head hurty

[near orbit]

why does the game look so weird in the dark?

Darkness doesn't feel dark

It's hard to explain lmao

Everything looks kind of white?

With black stains

[near orbit]

It's hard to tell on the pic

Yeah.

It's a normal one

Gamma reshade

But the one that came by default had the same problem

Hmm ok

Thanks

HOLY SHIT

IM HIGH NOW

[swift robin]

MANS SMELLS COLURS

[near orbit]

fr

[near orbit]

at least now its clearer what i meant with things looking white with black stains lol

what the fuck indeed

[steep barn]

Benadryl reshade

[near orbit]

LMAO

i turned tonemap on lol

i turned it off and it came back to normal

no biggie

but still

lol

i mean

adaptative tonemap

is what i turned on

k

ok i fixed it

thank you

now night is scary 🥺

[vague sage]

Gotcha, thanks

[fresh solstice]

Usually you'd go to reshade.me and install it via its installer but I'm pretty sure if you just re-download the gamma data and do the installer method again that should do it. There might be reshade files in the gamma folder too.

But the usual way is download it from reshade.me then run installer and you'd want to pick the anomaly exe, not the launcher, I usually pick the dx11anomaly.exe and reshade will ask what direct X, pick yours, and if you download any reshade presets you drop them in the game directory.

Been grinding finishing up the Gummy Reshade, check it out yall hope ya like it. DL soon!!

[steady wasp]

This definitely used to work in older versions, but now it seems like disabling it still makes "r2_sun_lumscale_amb" get overridden after a few seconds. Anyone have any clue if there is a new mod which constantly changes this value which isn't Dynamic Tonemaps?

[analog crater]

dynamic tonemap is the only mod i see in gamma that modifies this. Are you sure you turned it off? it doesn't just turn off by disabling it in mcm, you have to restart.

[steady wasp]

Yep, disabled in mcm and game restarted (or did you mean I have to restart something else?), still overriding after a couple of seconds. Weird. Is there anywhere in the files I can set it?

[analog crater]

Can you disable from MO and try? As for checking the files, it stores it in the user.ltx and you can check it in the console in realtime

otherwise i've never seen it anywhere else in the files

its completely possible its being set in the engine (exe) but i doubt it.

[steady wasp]

Ah, figured it out. I didn't disable it in MCM. However, completely removing the "Dynamic Tonemaps" in MO didn't remove it in MCM for some reason. Doing both finally gets the value to stick. Thanks for your help!

[analog crater]

Sure thing

[modest ether]

@lethal steeple hey, you should do a video on how you set your shaders up. I'm a newbie to all of that and it would greatly help

or if you could just text how you did it

[winged swift]

what does agressors reshade look like?

[unborn cairn]

Weirdly blue hue to the grass any one knows how to fix this?

Using Simple Autumn no leaves
Shaders are : Jaku's improved shaders

and also what is up with the shaders in the MO
Which ones do i select Which ones do I leave un ticked?

for best looking results ofc

Also very weird white color effects?

is it my SSAO settings or smth

[balmy ravine]

What about clicking play once installed instead of touching not optional things in mo2

Use grass tweaks mod if you want to change the look of the zone (in mo2 > GAMMA Fixes)

[barren forge]

try enabling AVX if your cpu supports it

I tried disabling it a couple days ago and it looks some what similar to your screenshot

[clever fractal]

Does aggressor’s reshade get worse performance vs what gamma comes installed with by default?

[stone sun]

Hey, if anyone here managed to enable rain puddles+reflections here, can you give me a step by step guide on how to do it?
I can see the rain drops shader effect in game but not the puddles. Also enabling SSS reflections causes everything to be shiny but it does not look good at all. Any ideas?

[old vigil]

are we supposed to download the 5.8 update of reshade ourselves

[cloud island]

!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.

[eternal elbow]

thank you very much 🙂

[rapid night]

Here me out; yes. Or just leave it at 5.7 unless there is a compelling update you feel you need. Game is reliable for me on the "old" version, so I ain't gonna mess with it.

[stone sun]

I just can't seem to figure out the rain puddles, how did you guys make it work?

[ember condor]

SSDO settings?

[stone sun]

Do you mean if SSAO mode is set to SSDO or something else?

[ember condor]

yeah SSAO needs to be on SSDO, and if you can run it on high

[stone sun]

Yea, no it was already on SSDO high but the rain puddles shader is still not working

[ember condor]

wet surfaces and soft water turned on, and restarted game?

Ive learned even if the game dosent say you need to restart, ive noticed the changes only happening after i restart my game. even for the smallest of changes

[stone sun]

Doesn't seem to help. Did it just work for you like in the shader demo video out of the box? Maybe I have to reinstall things since its bugged.

[crisp harness]

why does it look like that? with greenish outlines?

[weary rivet]

Chromatic aberration

it shouldnt exist in games its so ugly

[crisp harness]

ok, thanks

do you know how to turn it off?

[weary rivet]

reshade menu

[crisp harness]

Thank you

[weary rivet]

np

can i upload my reshade preset here?

[stone sun]

I am interested. You screeenshots look nice

[icy magnet]

Which dx game will be more stable 11 or 10

[static stirrup]

Huge W thx my guy

[balmy ravine]

you should use dx11

avx or not depend your hardware, try both and see

[earnest cove]

do u happen to remember if you're using cfg_load atmosr or cfg_load atmos?

[weary rivet]

Havent changed it so its the default gamme one

[earnest cove]

cool thanks!

[weary rivet]

just messed around with it and atmosr looks a lot better imo

Your reshade is really clean. You've been gentle on the effects and they look good all combined. Ty boss

[echo hawk]

Im at work but i was just curious, did you create your reshade from scratch or you tweaked an existing preset within gamma?

[weary rivet]

yeah I mixed some stuff from agressor reshade with phrozacs one from atmospherics

[echo hawk]

Interesting! i might give it a shot. I'm looking for something less warm than atmos reshade. So far i tweaked atmosr+ myself.

[weary rivet]

these 2 files from agressor are needed for my reshade if anybody wants them

Comparison off/on

[versed scarab]

good shader preset? want my game to look good

[hasty robin]

I got quite alot in my shader cache folder

[static stirrup]

I used some reshades and in my opinion @weary rivet reshade is the best one if you look for a more natural view of the zone. It goes too well with green grass
The light is not too bright neither too dark
Didn’t experience it during storms and events but in a normal day it’s a banger
Don’t forget to put filmic pass and reinline in the shaders. It’s a must!

[near orbit]

Thank you

[echo hawk]

Well, Capa's reshade is excellent indeed. Although, I'm looking for something less warm and this is even more but i tuned down saturation of "technicolor2". Anything else i could tweak for a slightly colder look within this reshade? @weary rivet

I guess its mostly clear 1 weather that is too intensely red. This reshade is well calibrated.

[balmy ravine]

I always had trouble with those clear weathers. I think I just don't like them lol.

Sometimes good sometimes a bit out of place

[amber arch]

Does Gamma already come with Hippo's "Atmospherics" Reshade?

[weary rivet]

Yeah its really bright in the middle of the day for most weathers, you can try tweaking saturation in the filmic pass

and if you want a blue hue you can tweak EffectGammaR lower

are you looking for something like this?

[spice torrent]

Hello everyone! I have the following problem, when I want to activate the aggressor ini (meta.ini) in ReShade, it gives me the following error message: "The selected file is not a valid asset"
Yesterday it worked for a short time, I added "layer" and suddenly reshade no longer accepts the asset. what am I doing wrong?

Already reinstalled aggressor and deleted the shader cache, but it didn't help

[weary rivet]

do you have the agressor.ini file?

[spice torrent]

Just what came with Gamma. It's called meta.ini

Nevermind, i got to try smth. Getting back to you in a min

Yo I was stupid, used the wrong files. What about the compatibility of the weather from Agressor and Gamma? Apparently Gamma uses its own weather and Agressor also depends on its own weather.
Can I switch off Gamma's weather or what do I have to consider?

[balmy ravine]

Hey Aggressor was included in older gamma versions (it was just ground textures and weathers) but this is not a reshade in it 😉 (EDIT : Actually its still there in disabled addons, but remember it doesnt contain any reshade files)

[opal raven]

Maybe you give my Reshade a try... i think its well balanced https://youtu.be/jtbhlDEf9G4

[weary rivet]

if you want aggressor reshade and weather you have to download it from moddb

[spice torrent]

Allright, I see. I guess I'll do without Aggressor for now, if Gamma were designed to use the Reshade it would already be completely in the files.
I think I'll try a few things and get inspired by the wonderful reshades here in the thread ;) Thanks for the help.

[old flame]

can you share your tweaked ini?

[swift robin]

how would i use your shader pack or wtv?

[river ether]

Hey, does anyone know, why interiors and "dark spots" are getting darker and darker when I change reshade shaders? I'm trying to find and adjust them (shaders) to fit my aesthetic expectations, but because of mentioned problem i cannot do this and have to reinstall gamma. Worth to mention, that first when I updated gamma, the game was very shady, characters were almost black, there were too much fog and interiors were almost pitch black with purple-ish strips instead of levels of darkness. I've tried everything in FAQ "blackscreen" but only reinstalling gamma helped. Unfortunately, now I have this issue with changing reshade shaders

[undone sun]

what’s the best reshade?

[echo hawk]

how do i reset a reshade preset to its original setting? i tried deleting it, clear cache and replacing with original .ini but reshade just remembers my tweaks.

[halcyon onyx]

how can i use these ?

i m beginner, i dont know how to make settings

[wide topaz]

What other things do you have, yours seems to be more alive then mine. All my trees are dead

[halcyon onyx]

i need to download it or put that manualy ?

[echo hawk]

download and drop it in bin folder from aomaly.

[halcyon onyx]

tyy so much

[echo hawk]

you also need these two fx files up there.

[halcyon onyx]

.

this, right ? @echo hawk

[echo hawk]

yup that

[halcyon onyx]

tyyy

[echo hawk]

drop them in shader file in reshade-shader folder, which is also in bin

[halcyon onyx]

so those 2 in reshade and first in bin only @echo hawk

[echo hawk]

exactly

[halcyon onyx]

tyy so much

i still learning the game, is so cool and i find this reshades channel and reshades makes the gaame muuch awesome

i'm in a new world :))))

[echo hawk]

enjoy it haha

[halcyon onyx]

in reshade folder i have 2 folders tho. shaders and textures

where i put the files ?

i put in 1 on those or in that folder directly ?

[echo hawk]

you put both in shader only

[halcyon onyx]

tyyy

done

[quick pendant]

Anyone can help get rid of this fog ?

Foggy weather set to none

Don't think its Reshade

[rigid moth]

hi there! what reshade should i use? im brand new to gamma :)

[turbid prairie]

How did you remove the graininess?

[still iris]

Go to and edit all Weather here: Atmospherics Shaders Weathers and Reshade - Hippobot\gamedata\configs\environment\weathers. Set to Fog all to =0 or delete FOG in the Weather-Cycle

[minor urchin]

Im decent amount into a playthrough but i want to change the game back to the dead look how do i do this?

[echo hawk]

Right click on "Aydins grass tweak" and press reinstall. In the installer, youll be able to choose the one you want

[buoyant canyon]

how do you get something like this?

looks incredible

[quiet nexus]

trying to install piknik reshade preset and my game looks all white, any ideas where I went wrong?

[echo hawk]

Cfg load grading_default @quiet nexus

[vale ibex]

I second this. My game looks nowhere near this good and I have max settings running

[wide topaz]

I third this, I wish my game looked like that.

[somber frost]

I got something similar playing around with green and blue sliders on reshade

''Yeah its really bright in the middle of the day for most weathers, you can try tweaking saturation in the filmic pass
and if you want a blue hue you can tweak EffectGammaR lower
are you looking for something like this?''

[vale ibex]

Any reshape presets with that or just what was already on when installing gamma?

[somber frost]

@vale ibex This is the reshade, search for the additional 2 shaders up in the chat

Or check capa's messages history in here

[vale ibex]

[sonic robin]

Hey Stalkers I'm new to pc and am trying to update my Reshade to 5.8. Would anyone be willing to help me? 🙂

[austere raft]

A slight change in sharpness and contrast, game looks good as it was, but this just pops the colours a little more

[royal falcon]

hi

guys i have a problem

I don't know the name of the hippo reshade in the game

plus the trees and bushes look white.

[leaden marsh]

Atmos | AtmosGamma | AtmosR | AtmosR+ btw

the rest, I mean the whities... that doesn't sound good. I heard this issue here before, but dunno much about it...

First a shader cache delete wouldn't hurt I think. Do it manually: delete Gamma/appdata/shaders_cache, then start the game again. Press home, and there You'll find Hippos's shader presets

[leaden marsh]

hmm. looks fucking great btw. Imma try it out

[hidden venture]

anyone know how to make the game look clearer?

mine is so pixelated and AA does NOTHING

i've tried max and min AA and there is no difference for me

[hidden venture]

like this is so damn clear and crisp

mine looks like bodycam footage, i have a hard time with target acquisition because of it

[austere raft]

what res are you playing on?

[hidden venture]

1920x1080

[hidden venture]

^

sorry forgot to send that as a reply

there's no way that's too low lol

[austere raft]

try some sharpening tools. Press the Home button on your keyboard and scroll down to RJ sharpen, as it doesn't impact performance too much

Could also try forcing AA in your nvidia control panel

Not sure how much forcing AA like that would impact stability though

[visual hearth]

Upscale to 2k or 4k with DSR

[austere raft]

There's lots of AA overlays on the Home thing too, maybe fuck around with them for a bit too

[hidden venture]

i have AMD

so far the reshade things don't make it look too much better but they also don't impact performance at all

most of them just look like i took some painkillers in tarkov

[weary rivet]

AMD has VSR

[visual hearth]

Try drme and tfaa in reshade

[hidden venture]

dont have tfaa but drme didn't seem to do anything at all

how do i take a screenshot? i want to show you what i'm talking about

[visual hearth]

it’s because your paths are wrong

I already know 😁 go to settings

Find effects search paths

[hidden venture]

found it

[visual hearth]

There will be 3 paths, delete the first two, make the third look exactly like this

.\reshade-shaders\Shaders**

[hidden venture]

done

[visual hearth]

Click home, then reload at the bottom

Turn on drme and tfaa, move tfaa so it’s under drme

[hidden venture]

no there's no effect files lmao

ah i see

you forgot the forward slash in your message

holy mother mary

the tfaa makes it have some weird effect when i turn

like when you smoke weed for the first time

[visual hearth]

Do you have drme above it

[hidden venture]

those help a tiny bit but drop me about 20 frame

DRME seems to be the one that does it

[visual hearth]

Yeah it has performance impact, but it’s basically TAA. Tfaa doesn’t work without drme

Or replace drme with motionvectors, doesn’t hit fps as much but can cause some ghosting effects

[hidden venture]

i see, that's a little better

less frame drop and looks a little better

this is a strange issue

if AA worked like it's supposed to we wouldn't need reshade for it but i guess the game is ancient lol

[river ether]

anyone? happened after messing with reshade, restart didnt help

[visual hearth]

Yep lol make sure you turn in game AA off, all it does is hurt fps

[hidden venture]

yeah after messing with a bunch of reshade shit i don't think we have anything that can fix my issue

using rj_sharpen helps a bit for things that are close up but long distance is still so ugly

but overall now that i'm looking rj make it uglier lol

i'm at a loss

[swift robin]

graphic settings

[austere raft]

is there a neat way to post settings?

[swift robin]

screenshot your settings and dm them to me or something

[swift robin]

thanks

i was confused on why my bushes looked really pixeled

[hidden venture]

yeah mine do too, i think it's just the game

god the game looks so much better with HDR on, they washed all the color our in 0.9 and i don't like it

[swift robin]

mine aint pixlish now

[hidden venture]

how'd you fix it?

[hidden venture]

^

[swift robin]

@hidden venture one of these settings made the bushes better

[hidden venture]

"one of these setting" proceeds to show the entire graphics setting menu

[austere raft]

happy to have accidentally helped

[hidden venture]

seems to have been the texture MIP bias or object detail for me

although some of my bushes look bad asf, i think because they are supposed to be dead bushes bc i'm playing with a snow mod

they have thin branches that look horrible from a distance

but i'm slowly getting things to look better

[austere raft]

some boulders and big rocks look weird for me, they have black spots and pixels on them but I can't find a way to fix that

If you're running a snow mod on top of gamma that for sure gonna mess with some shaders and assets

[hidden venture]

nah it doesn't harm much

[clever helm]

some places in game just look better than others

[hidden venture]

my problem is mostly that thin things have gaps from a distance

[clever helm]

you can make the game beautiful and you'll still find some uglyish places

[hidden venture]

like the power line towers in jupiter

tons of gaps and jagged pixels

as far as i am aware there is no way to fix this

[clever helm]

I think we're nearing the end of what can be done on the current engine

[weary rivet]

you can increase the mip bias past the slider ingame

[stray sparrow]

if I want to change the rgb color balance is there an ingame setting for that or is that a reshade thing

[hidden venture]

reshade would be the place to do that

[vale ibex]

@weary rivet your reshape preset is really good. It seems to have dealt with the biggest issue I could never fix in my game, which was pixelated textures

[limber mirage]

Yeah I'm using it aswell, it's sick

[rocky gulch]

Looking for help with changing reshade settings

[balmy ravine]

get rock textures from GTR, thats what I did. Those rocks are atrocious

need some help, Im trying out the DSR x1.78 so from 1080p desktop (monitor is 1080p 240hz) to 1440 in game 16:9. Text is kinda gritty and small, graphics can be a little gritty too and the mouse speed is omfg all over the place xD. Any tweaks that im missing?

[weary rivet]

Are you playing in fullscreen?

[fringe patio]

borderless as fullscreen for some reason was "too big" things were off the screen if you know what imean? Im sure i effed up somewhere
