╟🎑reshades

[balmy ravine]

Hey if you want to use borderless with DSR and DLDSR you must have your desktop in that DSR res aswell. For the text there is 2k fonts in the modlist

[molten geyser]

Best reshade?

[balmy ravine]

generally DSR/DLDSR doesnt play well with borderless

[molten geyser]

better reshade for a balance between performance and visuals?

[fringe patio]

you must have your desktop in that DSR res aswell <-- ? i didnt quite get this.. you saying I need to set desktop to 1440 too? Ye i figured out that it didnt like borderless and also used the 2k text thanks 🙂

[balmy ravine]

Yes you got it right 😉 Otherwise everything looks aliased

[fringe patio]

this one or the second one?

[balmy ravine]

the one that allow max refresh rate preferably

[fringe patio]

guess they both should ill check

second one.. but text is a little blurry :/

[balmy ravine]

You should try DLDSR smoothing 80% to 100%

[molten geyser]

Any idea?

[balmy ravine]

the only DSR res that look right on 1080p is 4k with 0 to 20% smoothing

[fringe patio]

i see

ill try that too later

ty

upscaled to 4k

[molten geyser]

Lord

What reshade do u recommend to performance and visual too?

[fringe patio]

im just using the standard bro

[molten geyser]

Atmos?¡

[fringe patio]

shader settings atmosR and R+ is what is being used most, i believe R+ has more performance hit. However IMO performance hits is grass and AI spawn increase and lots of anomalys close

[faint ore]

is it normal that in valorant dldsr only impacts the crosshair and nothing else it seems like

[fringe patio]

atmosGamma is what the default is

[molten geyser]

Idk what is atmosR+

I'm newbie and i don't speak english very well

i found it

[fringe patio]

if you press "home" on your keyboard you will see the UI

[molten geyser]

Look how looks

[fringe patio]

imo id just stick with the standard

yeah no idea, as i dont mess with the reshades tbh

[molten geyser]

Maybe that?

[fringe patio]

i think your installation may have some issues probably best to ask in support

[molten geyser]

i change directx11 to 9

maybe was that

[fringe patio]

i dunno i think 2k is better due to the fps. Also no idea why we need to set teh desktop dsr too tho :/ that does suck imo

[frosty summit]

what is your reshade setting

[fringe patio]

nothing just the default atmosgamma. Turned off chromatic abortion xD lowered teh gamma

i was just experimenting between 2k upscale and 4k and not understanding why we needed to upscale the desktop too

[frosty summit]

how to upscale to 4k? i only get to 3440x1440o

my cpu too weak so need higer res, gpu will carry

[visual hearth]

shouldnt have to if the game is in fullscreen

[fringe patio]

thanks bro i think i understood why he told me to set it then

[fringe patio]

4x should get you 4k in game

but set the DSR smoothness to 0

1.78 is 2k i believe unless iv totally misunderstood everything

[visual hearth]

if your monitor is 1920x1080 then yes 1.78 should be 2560x1440

[fringe patio]

yes its 1080

[balmy ravine]

Yeah that suck I would play borderless as well if I didn't have to put my desktop in 1620p. The game does not look the same in dark areas between fullscreen/borderless

[fringe patio]

very true

[mental root]

Is there a guide on how to get best graphics in game ? Have a beefy rig so far I’ve used atmosr++ with HBAO

[valid osprey]

whats atmosr++ ?

[echo hawk]

atmosr++ was only put in there accidently, and is not meant to be there. i believe hippo uses it for testing only. The latest atmosr+ is the real one

[austere raft]

Where do I find that?

[crimson badge]

is it normal for the game to look like this ? like why are the trees so washed out ? any fix for it ?

[echo hawk]

It would happen when you updated your gamma at some point. Don't know if thats still the case.

[austere raft]

You've got no DoF, the UI looks different, and my game has never looked so grey

So imna guess something went wrong with the install, or you've disabled some stuff you shouldn't have

[lavish tendon]

Grim Sky is pairing well with the wintery/dead textures of this version of GAMMA.

[crimson badge]

i have Dynamic HUD installed, and the only thing i disabled was SSS, because it gives minus fps, im using the atmosR preset and cfg

this is when i disable all shaders in MO2

[crimson badge]

probably this

[edgy cedar]

first ever attempts at reshading my game. any tips?

first pics the reshade followed by vanilla

[crimson badge]

i did a fresh clean install but still the game looks better without any reshades enabled in MO2

[austere raft]

My game looked good out of the gate, maybe ask in support somewhere

[crimson badge]

disabling Hippo's atmospherics fix it

[austere raft]

When you did the fresh install

Did you also totally wipe your shaders?

that might have cause some fuckery

[crimson badge]

i reinstalled everything even anomaly

i never played with shaders ON before but since i found out that the only take away 3-5fps i wanted to try them, so its all new to me this shader stuff

[short stag]

take screenshots with reshade see in reshade settings path and keybind

[spiral shell]

So its atmos r or atmos gamma the agressor reshade ? i only have that options on my rehsade home key and wich one is better ? what options do u guys have on ?

[balmy ravine]

looks good to me 👍

[dapper rivet]

@crimson badge have you tried deleting shader cache

[frosty summit]

hey guys how to turn off ambien occlusion

[crimson badge]

Yeah ofc, i got it to work properly by following the install guide for anomaly in hippos' moddb page, my game looks great now

[austere raft]

it's in advanced settings, HBAO and others too

[mental root]

If I turn on let’s say atmosR reshade. I have to use ssdo right ?

[visual hearth]

SSS recommends SSDO at medium quality

[soft light]

@frosty summit ủa người anh em :))

[formal salmon]

off/on

[mental root]

Ssdo?

[leaden marsh]

wut off/on?

AtmosR/R+ ?

[formal salmon]

preset

[frosty summit]

Haha thủ dâm stlark à

[quiet quiver]

is delete reshade DLL the reset shader option?

[mental root]

Huh?

[leaden marsh]

No. That removes Reshade completely. You must delete manually it in appdata dir

[soft light]

game hay mà :))

[fiery notch]

best reshades for gamma ?

just looking for a nice clean all-in-one reshade

[echo hawk]

You mean other than the ones that already come with gamma and atmospheric addon?

[fiery notch]

are the ones that come with GAMMA really good?

[visual hearth]

AtmosR+ is really good

[fiery notch]

tyvm

[raw isle]

What does "delete shader cache" do on the anomaly launcher? Ive had some weird neon green hues on trees after trying some different shader options and I cant get rid of it.

[night canyon]

Hey gents, can anyone here reccomend a good reshade, to make the game look more crisp and a bit cooler, not so washed out. in general look like a modern title's graphics?

if so please dm me the info of what you enabled/changed, would appreciate it

can you maybe tell me waht you did too not make it so pixelish?

[night canyon]

can you tell me what you did to get it look so crisp?

[manic sage]

Increase graphical settings and choose atmosR+ in the reshade home menu

not much else to it

[night canyon]

wdym increase graphical settings, wich ones if i may ask. also i dm'd you but i fixxed my problems, it was mo2 bugging out the reshade menu

[manic sage]

ingame ones

you can increase everything except gloss, Anti aliasing.

[night canyon]

wich ones specifically

aah

[manic sage]

Yeah sorry I dont really respond to dms unless I know someone is dming me

I get too many of them

[night canyon]

should i change anything else in reshade menu or just the atmosR+, also should i keep the atmosR+ settings as is or tweak?

all good

[manic sage]

Just that

[night canyon]

so escept gloss and anti aliasing?

[manic sage]

you can also use cmaa,drme,tfaa all together

in the reshade menu for atmosR+

[night canyon]

aah okay

[manic sage]

yes

[night canyon]

thanks bud

lol...there was an emmision and i heard a beep while i was in reshade so i thought it's the beep for confirming the emission is over, i stepped out died instantly xD

[manic sage]

lol

[night canyon]

seems i don't have atmosR+ in reshade? @manic sage

searched it but nothing

also, idk if you can see this, but where i am aiming at. the trees outlines it's so filled with pixxels, very pixelated, any way to fix this?

nvm i think i found it, is it this one?

i don't see any Tfaa?

drme and smaa are there

[echo hawk]

You need to untick "load only selected" in reshade settings

[night canyon]

aah okay

[echo hawk]

Oh no wait i notice you have it fine in the previous picture. You found it yet?

[night canyon]

nope not there

only smaa and drme

[echo hawk]

Usually its at the bottom

[night canyon]

nope

[echo hawk]

Something weird happened with the reshade installation, or just the shader paths in setting no to be changed

[frosty summit]

how to turn on screen space reflection? i tried the option in the reshade menu but it mess the game up

and ssr mod 15.0 in gamma fixes doesnt have any impact thou

[charred spade]

if i want to update reshade to 5.8.0 which game.exe should i pick? or is there any other way? that notification that always pops up when i start the game is driving me crazy

[soft light]

Mở SSAO lên ông

[frosty summit]

SSDO ma k an thua ong a

[balmy ravine]

Install the game, launch the game, thats it, theres nothing else to do to enjoy the whole screen space shaders package

[worldly atlas]

do you have pptx

[night canyon]

Do i have what?

[worldly atlas]

shader thing

wait

[night canyon]

Not currently in game but I'll check, why?

[worldly atlas]

@night canyon

[night canyon]

What is this you tryna show me?

[worldly atlas]

oh wait i read it wrong,

[night canyon]

But what is this though?

[worldly atlas]

it adds shadows than mxao

[night canyon]

I don't see much difference except the grass?

[worldly atlas]

no shader

[night canyon]

So both ppfx should be on?

[worldly atlas]

with shader

[worldly atlas]

it only adds shadow and depth

[night canyon]

You reccomend it?

[night canyon]

Also for this question do yoh k ow if there is a way to fix the pixels?

[worldly atlas]

i mostly have this on

for it to be noticiable you can have this on as well

[night canyon]

Idk if you saw that picture i posted with the tree, you can see how much pixels it has

[worldly atlas]

anti aliasing

[night canyon]

Fo what to be notciableM

[worldly atlas]

pixels

i mean remove the small pixels

on the trees

[night canyon]

I don't want it noticeable

[worldly atlas]

it removes the pixel

but it will look blurry

[night canyon]

So both ppfx's and the directionally localized AA+ ?

Will remove the pixels?

[worldly atlas]

it works for me

[night canyon]

Aah okay no blurry is going to fuck with me more than pixels haha

Does the ppfx's make the game blurry aswell?

Or is it just the aa+

[worldly atlas]

it only adds shadows

aa+

makes it abit blurry

[night canyon]

And ppfx make it just darker adds shadows and depth?

I'll give it a try when im on again, anything else you would recommend

[worldly atlas]

aight

[worldly atlas]

thats all i have on my shaders

[night canyon]

Aah okay cool

And it looks much much better than the washed out look of the vanilla game?

I assume it does?

[worldly atlas]

ig

[visual hearth]

That’s extremely blurry. If you want to use tfaa, you have to fix your paths

[night canyon]

So do you have any recommendations for nice reshade

[visual hearth]

AtmosR+ with DRME + TFAA, that’s what I use and imo looks great

If you don’t have tfaa, because your paths wrong. Go to settings, effect search path, delete 2 of them, make the remaining exactly this

.\reshade-shaders\Shaders\**

[simple mesa]

Where do you grab this

[visual hearth]

It’s included with gamma just fix your paths like I said above

[crimson badge]

I figured out the problem, setting the dynamic tone map to default in mcm settings fixed it, idk why they come the way they come, I definitely did not touch them as I have no clue what any of those settings do but here we are after reinstalling gamma for 3 times with no luck, finally fixed it, no more inverted depth fog

[frosty summit]

what is the option that makes everything blur when eating, reloading?

i just accidentally turned it on

[echo hawk]

sss settings in mcm.

[sacred wren]

anyone know how to fix this film grain looking effect?

[leaden marsh]

Try to move your a$$ out of the radiation field

[sacred wren]

yea dosent matter where i am

[leaden marsh]

Oh, sorry for the joke then... it totally looks like that. It stuck in the radiation state?

Don't You have a radioactive artifact in your inventory?

[sacred wren]

No worries lol yea its like stuck in that radioactive state until i restart the game

I thought it could be some noise filter or maybe a setting i could adjust

[leaden marsh]

I haven't seen this issue, but maybe there'll be someone else who say some clever

[raw isle]

Getting a really blurry depth of field look at range, any way to get rid of it? Have all SSS settings sliders all the way to the left.

[leaden marsh]

Something DOF turned on in the Reshade menu?

[raw isle]

It was not, but I turned off DoF with the ~ command menu and it worked

[leaden marsh]

Cool, glad it was soo easy!

[brave shard]

how do you fix the water in the swamp? mine keeps on flickering and there's a hazy effect on top of it

[brave shard]

Nvm. Fixed the issue by deleting shader cache

[raw isle]

Having a kinda strange issue, was testing different shader options and turned on shaders cumulative pack for GAMMA, now all my trees are white lol. Turned shader cumulative pack off because it looks weird but now I get a shader compilation failed message when I try to launch the game without cumulative pack on lol. Have already cleared the shader cache from the anomaly folder and updated gamma. Any ideas?

[raw isle]

Reinstalled and it fixed it lol

[silent wigeon]

anyone know what settings to tweak to make this less bright? am using altmosR++.

[ruby galleon]

what shader should I use or what options??

Specs:
ryzen 5 3600
gtx 1650
16 gb ram

[night canyon]

i'm very confused and not the best with this, where do i do this to gett tfaa on, also thought you said tfaa make it blurry?

[spiral abyss]

is it run 60fps at default?

[visual hearth]

Open reshade menu, click settings at the top, make it look like this

[night canyon]

so what makes it blurry again the ppfx's ?

[visual hearth]

directionally localized AA

[night canyon]

aah

what all do you have selected in atmorR+

[visual hearth]

Default + drme and tfaa

[night canyon]

aight

thanks

[swift robin]

anybody know the default light settings

[night canyon]

@visual hearth can you help me, think i fucked up

this is how mine currently looks like

nvm i fixxed it

just typed it in manually

[visual hearth]

Good, that’s what I was about to suggest lol

[tulip field]

None

[night canyon]

lol, yeah all good, listen gonna play another game now. but mind if you help me out a bit later with something else ?

[visual hearth]

Me? I’ll try lol I don’t mind, just reply to me or dm me so I see it

[night canyon]

shot will do thanks

[night canyon]

hey @visual hearth you still on

mind if you help me quick, with a bug, i'll hop into a channel

[visual hearth]

Can you send me screen or video

[night canyon]

urhm yeah i can

this

it's supposed to be water but it's land

all my water looks like this, i deleted my shader cache, switched from dx10 to dx11 and vice versa, maxxed and lowered rendering distance, nothing works

and it makes these white and black flickering

@visual hearth

might if i call you quick, can't find help in any other channel or voice, the all playing arma and other things

[visual hearth]

I’ve never seen that before lol I actually have no idea. Try reinstalling SSS. Right click it in mo2, reinstall, make sure the ice water isn’t checked. Then clear shader cache again

[night canyon]

so that i can stream for you

hhmm will try that

[visual hearth]

Unfortunately I can’t talk right now, try that let me know

[night canyon]

where do i find SSS

[visual hearth]

Screen space shaders

[night canyon]

in mo2

aah

should only those 3 be ticked?

[visual hearth]

Check everything except ICE WATER and the bottom one

[night canyon]

is that the default?

[visual hearth]

I believe so

[night canyon]

so 94 should not be ticked?

[visual hearth]

Yes tick volumetric sun rays

[night canyon]

ooh manual installation that should not be ticked?

[visual hearth]

Don’t tick manual installation

Right

Click ok, then replace

[night canyon]

trying this quickly, will let you know

been struggling with this for 1hr and 20 mins 😦

just wanted to play xD

[visual hearth]

Make sure to clear shader cache

[night canyon]

i did

[visual hearth]

I’ve never seen that happen before lol

[night canyon]

deleted the whole file

it only happened to me after i did the update that came out today

so i honestly don't know

nope, still same

ffs

[visual hearth]

🤔

[night canyon]

and no one else that i try to get hold of answers so

[visual hearth]

Go to setting, advanced, all the way at the bottom make sure soft water is checked

[night canyon]

it is

tried it, it's not that

[visual hearth]

Damn sorry I don’t know. I’ll try to update gamma to latest version later and see if I can replicate the problem

[night canyon]

alright....

nvm i fixxed it, dunno how but yeah

i turned on soft water while i was in menu, without being in game, then loaded my latest save, then turned off soft water. then restarted the game and now it works

dunno wtf but okay

[visual hearth]

Weird lol good I’m glad you got working

[night canyon]

this is how it is supposed to look like right?, and in the far distance it's flat. it's supposed to look lke that

yeah me too

[visual hearth]

Yeah looks good to me

[night canyon]

shot

btw does soft water impact fps?

at all?

[visual hearth]

Not much I don’t think. I think you should have it turned on though for SSS

[night canyon]

@visual hearth are you able to talk now

becuz for this i might need to show you, i would appreciate it if you could help me, will take 5 mins of your time

not even 5 mins

like in a voice call, and i'll stream for you

[viral spindle]

Is that the grass from agressor?

[daring valve]

Is there a guide to getting started with reshades?

Currently running at a stable 70-80 FPS and trying to find a starting point to experiment with

[uncut bluff]

any more colourful easy to see good lookin shader presets or suggestions?

[quick grotto]

any idea if tryin to use new screen space shaders break anything? i see gamma uses 15, and on moddb it's 15.3.

[arctic helm]

how do I access these settings?

[ruby galleon]

kinda

[arctic helm]

any reason why my games has this weird grain texture over everything. its especially egregious on NPC's with exposed faces

[balmy ravine]

usually I would say move your ass out of the rads but it doesn't seem like its the issue

Touched anything in reshade ?

[arctic helm]

not really

[balmy ravine]

Try changing the preset, it looks like its fucked up

[arctic helm]

only thing i tried was enabling the sharpening option, because far way objects and npc's also look really pixelated

even when observed with scopes or binoculars

[arctic helm]

how do i change my preset/

[balmy ravine]

You can open reshade menu with "Home" key (near page up/page down)

if you want to reset every settings (game,reshade, everything) to be sure, check this

!k98

[void depot]

1) Go in this folder: [YOUR GAMMA FOLDER]\.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches
2) Copy these four folders (check pic)
3) Go to your Anomaly folder
4) Paste these four folders (check pic)
5) Overwrite/replace all if asked
It won't delete your save files.

[fringe patio]

Nvida control panel

[fringe patio]

could be too much sharpness ?

or that chromatic aberration shit thing

[arctic helm]

with it enabled or disabled it looks exactly the same

i read something about chromatic abberation above

[fringe patio]

yuh press home when in game if you are usingthe default atmosGamma shader you will see it ticked there is only like four items iirc

[balmy ravine]

for me it looks like you put sharpening on top of another effect that have dithering, that cause black lines like we can see in the sky on your screen 😉

anyway i would reset settings, that surely reshade

[balmy ravine]

Also DRME is necessary for TFAA but you don't use it, thats not good for performance + useless

Reset your settings my friend

Create another preset if you modify base ones, so you keep them original 😉

[arctic helm]

so to reset all i have to do is follow !k98

[balmy ravine]

yeah, but you can copy only the reshade presets if you want to. (those ones are in the bin folder)

[arctic helm]

Oh my god this loooks sooo much better

thank you very much

[balmy ravine]

be sure to create a new preset whenever you want to play around with reshade effects

[arctic helm]

yeah but for now i think its alright

Thanks, this makes it finally playable, because some areas like red forest or yantar near the miracle machine i couldn't see shit

[uncut bluff]

any more colourful easy to see good lookin shader presets or suggestions?

[daring valve]

which setting was it that you changed?

[elfin helm]

when i launch the game its telling me to update reshade

how do that

i know how to update it for other games but dont know how to do it for gamma since it isnt like a normal game

[arctic helm]

what i did was i copied the bot told me #╟🎑reshades message

or you mean what settngs i changed prior to doing what the bot said?

for some reason my first install the game only allowed to have a really low resolution, something like 1366 X 768 instead of 1920 X 1080 which waht my monitor recommeds

[daring valve]

ah sorry, thought that you had sent an image when it was actually from someone else

[austere raft]

Any way to stop this from happening?

[visual hearth]

Settings, advanced, turn off anti aliasing, restart game. smaa is fine and recommended to be on

[upbeat elk]

Can i disable all reshades in gamma ?

[lone scaffold]

Can sb help me

I m trying to download Hippo's Shaders and Atmospherics

[visual hearth]

Are you playing gamma? Atmos is included with gamma now

[lone scaffold]

how to do that

[visual hearth]

Do you have latest update for gamma?

[lone scaffold]

I downloaded it two days ago

so I think yes

[visual hearth]

What did you do before you started getting that error

[lone scaffold]

Activatet that in mod organiser

[arctic helm]

where did you open your game from?

[lone scaffold]

gamma shortcut

[arctic helm]

ok so

[visual hearth]

You installed atmospherics? Disable the one you installed because it’s already included

[arctic helm]

can you disable that mod you just installed?

[lone scaffold]

which?

[visual hearth]

Everything you installed is already included

[arctic helm]

atmospherics

its already included and you cant enable it twice

[visual hearth]

If you installed SSS and ES those are included already

[lone scaffold]

where I can turn it on?

[visual hearth]

How many mods do you have active?

[lone scaffold]

10

[visual hearth]

Run gamma launcher, install/update. You did something wrong installing

[arctic helm]

you check that box right next to its name

[lone scaffold]

propably yes

I m updating gamma

[arctic helm]

can you enable more mods than the 377 that it comes with?

[lone scaffold]

Wait I m updating

[arctic helm]

wasnt asking you specifically, just a general question

[lone scaffold]

eeee

lel

Will I loose my saves?

what now ?

I updated

[lone scaffold]

What now?

[arctic helm]

try to launch it and see if it works

[lone scaffold]

how to activate?

[visual hearth]

You need to start over lol you’re doing something wrong. You should have 380 mods active

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1092852637847789699

[arctic helm]

when you click on the arrow next to the bold text, thats a category of mods such as gunplay or animations progression etc
once
if you wish to enable or disable a certain mod you just check the box right next to the respective mod
Dont know how you have only 10 mods enabled

[lone scaffold]

Doing update I m getting a lot of errors in that cmd window

Is it bad?

[balmy ravine]

Check on moddb if you are flagged as a bot. I think it doesnt happen as much as before but we never know

Going on the website it will show you directly if you are

[lone scaffold]

I m not even registered in

[balmy ravine]

dont need to be registered

Check that, then if you are not, you did something wrong

[austere raft]

You can install more mods, and the mod organiser (MO2) makes it pretty easy to do so. Some mods with say in the description "put this at the top of your priority" for example. Some mods aren't compatible with some in the GAMMA mod pack, but people usually have workarounds. Just gotta google it or use the search function on discord to find similar issues, etc.

[arctic helm]

Right

Because I tried installing the HD models and it crashed my game when loading a save file

[austere raft]

Did you try playing the game as GAMMA is preset?

[lone scaffold]

How to fix that

[little hawk]

how to do I update the reshade version, or rather what .exe it is I need to find

I got the new version downlaoded but need the right anomaly .exe, I don't know which one tho

[fervent eagle]

Anyone got any good reshades to share?

[viral spindle]

Perfection.

[soft fjord]

What setting?

[stray sparrow]

is that with aydin's grass?

[coarse vault]

having some weird gray shading during daytime

I think it's either a eye adjustment or blooming hud setting i cant nail down

same bonfire, up close and then from the shade

by blooming hud i meant blooming HDR

[worldly crag]

Hey can someone help, when i losd my game it tells me there is a new version of reshade me but as i stalled the mode theough gamma i dont know how to do this, or is there other reshade presets i can use beacuse im terrible with settings ahah

[eternal shadow]

anyone got some great reshades?

[daring valve]

If you scroll up and check Capa's messages they've got some pretty cool looks

Currently playing with it and it's been real nice

my only tweak to it was the overall saturation and dialing the reds back a bit

[daring valve]

You don't have to update Reshade

All of the files that Capa uploaded should be put in the corresponding subfolders in /Anomaly/bin

the preset ini goes directly into bin, and the two shader files go into bin/reshade-shaders

[worldly crag]

were can i find those files?

[viral whale]

this is probably a dumb question but how can I install/enable HIPPOS shaders? I tried once in the past and broke my game so i just wanna seek help here so I know how

Ive heard its in the mod organizer for the game already but im not sure, bc when i enable it i cant open GAMMA

also, if anyone recommends any better shaders im willing to try that instead

[uncut otter]

Did you update the game to the most recent Gamma version?

[viral whale]

yea

[uncut otter]

It should be enabled by default then

[viral whale]

Oh shoot, ok, thanks!

[uncut otter]

It's Atmospherics Shaders Weathers and ReShade in Mo2

If that's on it should be good to go unless you changed anything else

As for changing the presets or finding new presets you can check around here or try tweaking one to your liking

[viral whale]

ok cool, thanks! I'm assuming i need to manually install reshade for this then, or is that also already in the modpack?

[uncut otter]

When you updated if you clicked the delete shader box then yeah you'll need to reinstall but if you didn't just hit the "Home" key

In-game you'll be able to choose from the presets they added already

[viral whale]

It's there and working, thank you so much! appreciate your help

[uncut otter]

❤️

[night canyon]

anyone here that can help me, my Reshade menu isn't working i mean i can get into it by pressing home, but can't select any reshade, also fps counter not showing

[uncut otter]

Fps counter should be near the bottom of the settings tab in reshade. As for not being able to select a anything it doesn't seem like there are any presets in your bin folder

I would see if there's a way to maybe restore the Gamma and Atmospherics reshade stuff if you're missing it in your bin

[viral spindle]

Golden autumn

[humble bobcat]

How do I get the sky in emissions from the modpack? I am getting the vanilla one

[night canyon]

can anyone suggest me a mod or something to make it a little bit nicer, to make it look a lil more real life if i that's a tern i can you. also got allot of Grain(film grain) anyways to get rid of that

this is the current Reshade i'm using

any recommendations for nicer looking grass/trees aswell?

another question, can someone help me to remove distant fog/fuck the fog in general. i don't want it xD

as you can see there is a lot of film grain in the distance on the cars etc

help would be appreciated and some reccomendations

[uncut otter]

Idk if there's any mods to step up the graphics anymore than what we have rn. I think most here use A.D.E.G.A textures along with their own finely tuned reshade presets.

A preset recently shared and posted on moddb, #1036172060969410590 message

That one is pretty nice and you can disable any aspects you don't like

[night canyon]

a.d.e.g.a doesn't it decrease fps?

[uncut otter]

As for the fog, no idea. Maybe someone else might know a way to get rid of it without breaking gamma

[night canyon]

do you maybe have before and after screenshots of peeps using adega?

also my graphics are fine, the current reshade i'm using makes it a lot more cleaner and better for me, i'm mainly after better looking trees and stuff

[night canyon]

like this oke

[uncut otter]

Hmm

[night canyon]

like dik if you're using any mods that makes your game look more alive in terms of speaking

[balmy ravine]

If you have the power and you are in 1080p, I suggest nvidia DLDSR, higher res will automatically look better, film grain will be less annoying and also way less jagged edges. There should be something like that for amd cards as well

[night canyon]

where do i enable this?

[balmy ravine]

Nvidia control panel. Idk for AMD though

[night canyon]

in here

cuz i don't see DLDSR

[balmy ravine]

Ah yes, I've read its limited to RTX cards. But I thought the "DSR" version without deep learning AI was available on older gpus as well

Is that old drivers maybe ?

[night canyon]

got an rtx 3060 though

noope

[balmy ravine]

Ah

well thats not normal

[night canyon]

updated nvidia 2 days ago

no new version since then

wdym?

[night canyon]

want to hop into a channel quickly?

so that ww can talk instead of typind xD

would appreciate

[balmy ravine]

lets go

[viral spindle]

I'm not using adega

Killed my fps

Not really worth it for me personally because i didnt notice a big difference in graphics quality either unless I went around staring at the textures

Im just running golden autumn and phrozac acid reshade - the latter is already in gamma I'm pretty sure

[uncut otter]

DSR is there but only global settings not program settings

[main bane]

What scale to use in dsr?

[night canyon]

can you maybe link me to waht you're using? and where to enable it?

[uncut otter]

#custom-textures message

Idk how Plethorian installed it since the install process might not be the same anymore and I'm pretty sure phrozac acid reshade is already added

It's lower on the reshade list

[zealous gazelle]

anyone have any favourites from the preset reshades to use?

[viral spindle]

disabled grass tweaks, installed golden autumn via MO2 (selected yellow grass, green-red-yellow trees) and moved it below particles cinematic

gardener of the zone and the likes are disabled by default iirc

[zealous gazelle]

Also having this issue with foggy weather completely off, and no fog enabled, yet still get fog. LOL

[balmy ravine]

Whatever run and looks ok for you. Low smoothness better for DSR, High smoothness for DLDSR (it oversharpen image otherwise)

[pale robin]

Hey man, did you figure out where the option was?

[night canyon]

no, don't have it

[elder heart]

@night canyon Valiant were you looking at global settings or just program settings? DSR is in global only

[night canyon]

yup

[elder heart]

Ah ok, bugger

[night canyon]

but i came right, don't stress

just didn't find dldsr, but it's fine now

anyone still know if i can completely disable fog

cuz this shit annoying as fuck

[night canyon]

below or above ?

Autumn: Golden Autumn Redux
By: Fabio Conte https://www.moddb.com/members/pab1oescobar

For a bright looking zone, you can try out this pack. Simply disable Gardener of the Zone and Simple Autumn Retexture (No Leaves) add-ons. Then load this texture pack and place it just BEFORE/ABOVE Particles Cinematic VFX3.5 1.1.2 BOTZ YAWM

DO NOT USE the shaders pack from this folder
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jCAlpa5DnN7EADkAcCQVQ1HTo9CdjTt7 (edited)

cuz this says above?

[viral spindle]

oh wow i'm stupid

well, it worked for me anyway

moved it above now just in case

[main bane]

Idk it Just feels like that nothing Changes

Is there a big improvement with 4k Monitors?

[balmy ravine]

You need to choose the new res ig, you should atleast see your fps going down lol

[balmy ravine]

No real point using DSR if you are on 4k already

[main bane]

I dont have 4k atm

I Just try to figure Out how to fix the anti alaising

Atm i Just have normal HD monitor

[main bane]

What does res ig stand for?

[balmy ravine]

I mean, if you choosed 2.25 DLDSR you need to choose 2880x1620 in game

for example

[main bane]

Oh yeah

I tried that but ist was mich worse with the Flickering

Much*

[balmy ravine]

You are in borderless ?

[main bane]

Yes

[balmy ravine]

Thats why its worse

[main bane]

Oh ok i gonna try it Out rq

[balmy ravine]

If you want to use borderless you have to put your desktop in that same resolution sadly

[main bane]

Damn it gone laggy but i think i See the difference

Gonna Play around with the settings then thanks

[steel holly]

Anyone can recommend a good shader option ? My first time enabling it and there are so many options ?

[leaden vapor]

Phrozacs AreaX is great, Prosperity is great (although can be very dark sometimes) the default AtmosGAMMA is good, AtmosR+ is also very good otherwise experiment with the settings to make your own

[lavish relic]

good recommend, i use to use this all the time but i am slowly growing to like phrozacs Zone79

Works quite well with an autumn pack to give it more of a cold feel.

[main bane]

Does anyone have Problems with grainy textures? When i move Walls have like a grain filter on it

[austere raft]

You can just turn foggy weather off in the settings, that'll prolly remove most of your problems

Don't need to fix it if it isn't there

[fringe patio]

if you find the answer to this ping moi plz

else if you are using DSR, increase the smoothness and turn off any sharpness shiz in reshade is all i can think of

[balmy ravine]

Only workaround would be lowering mip bias slider, but it lower grass quality quite a bit sadly.

[steel holly]

thanks so much

🤔 can you screenshot your settings

Advanced settings

[astral slate]

no need, just solved it

clearing the cache fixed it

[visual hearth]

😁

[main bane]

hey, guys i don't know in what channel to put this kind of problem, i just put it in here.
Everytime i download ADEGA from google drive, in the mid of the download, it cancels the download and says "Networkproblems".
I tried it several times and it does this again (i restarted the computer too).
Anyone know how to fix this?

[lilac girder]

Tried a different browser? Plenty of space I assume?

[dapper fox]

I dont have any gameplay issues but when launching I notice 2 of my shader files are corrupt and will not load is this normal or will I have to fix this to get the visual complexion you are trying to show a avg player picture below is the listed corrupt files

[thorny vortex]

you have performance mode checked in reshade? some reshade settings dont like it

[dapper fox]

no just have the default listing atm for the shaders everything else is not ticked

[thorny vortex]

its at the bottom right by the reload button

[dapper fox]

Yup didnt have it ticked

[ocean wraith]

They're useless if you're not using tfaa

[daring valve]

I've noticed that some people are able to get this nice strong flaring effect when looking at the sun:

any idea what setting would allow this to happen?

[orchid valley]

I havent been able to find if anyone asked this question but i just updated and i am unable to get into the Reshade window, the keybind will not work.

[uncut otter]

I could be wrong but that seems like base Atmospherics to me and depending on the preset it could change the intensity

[uncut otter]

Check if the files are in your Anomaly bin folder and if they are then try reloading the save if you're in-game.

[hasty sleet]

anyone who uses the bodycan reshade, how did you get he overlay to work?

nvm

I'm stupid lol

[austere raft]

Most likely some bloom settings, that with some highlighting maybe

[manic sage]

There are multiple reshade presets to choose from

the default one is tame

you can choose AtmosR+ for a stronger lens flare effect

[austere raft]

Trouble with the presets is that they take like 10-20% of your frames, or more

If you do it custom, it takes much longer but you can get what you want while not paying all the frames

[manic sage]

I mean if lens flare is all you want then simply increaming bloom is all thats needed

that can be done with little to no fps loss

either increase exposure or bloom

[austere raft]

Exactly, you can pick and choose what you want more, just takes a lot more time to go through all the filters and fuck with them

I just enjoy looking at the game, so wasn't really a problem for me though 🤓

[manic sage]

You dont need to if all you want is extra lens flare/bloom

Simply switching from atmosGAMMA to Atmos increases it with no fps loss

Then if you want even more, within Atmos you select Solaris and increase Bloom intensity and Log Exposure Bias

[daring valve]

I've increased bloom in the past with no real affect on the lens flaring, it just creates a soft glow around light sources instead

specifically looking for the "shape" of the flare, such as the horizontal one from the sun in the image I sent, and the one just left and lower of the center-screen

increasing bloom in my case just increases the circular "glow" around the sun and blows out the skies

[austere raft]

You can try this one, gives that kind of effect for me. It doesn't drag it all the way across the screen, but defo makes the "streaks?" longer

[swift robin]

How do you open that program

[prisma hamlet]

7 or 8 on numpad

[swift robin]

are there any settings to change for performance wise?

[sudden panther]

can anyone recommend a reshade to use with snow/winter mods?

[main bane]

Does anyone know if Changes in the Nvidia control Panel actually apply to the Game? I mean stuff Like FXAA anti aliasing

[knotty heron]

im pretty sure control panel changes apply to your whole monitor

unless otherwise specified

[main bane]

Yeah i have Changed the settings for for anomalydx11avx.exe Not the global ones

[knotty heron]

then it should apply

it might be hard to notice aa if you have it on in reshade and in game already

[main bane]

Can it somehow overwrite the reshade aa?

I have only the First three aa Options of the reshade activated but there is a FXAA Option in the Menu too

[knotty heron]

i dont believe so

they should just stack on top of each other

diminishing returns might be the reason you cant notice it being on

[ocean wraith]

neo bloom can do that

[manic sage]

Bloom literally does this and log exposure bias

Atmos default

Slight tweak to the mentioned settings from before

You can increase this further as I only did a marginal increase. I personally don't like massive JJ abrams type of lens flare.

but to each their own

Increased further marginally

[main bane]

How can i clear my shader Cache?

[tawny root]

You can do it in the launch screen, when you start the game from mo2 it pops up

@main bane

[swift robin]

Anyone know a good reshade for inverno enjoyers? Im not too good at using reshade, no idea what im doing

Like this isnt bad for me but I feel like it could be a bit better

[main bane]

i just did that and got a error since then my game is not working anymore

[main bane]

nvm after a couple of restarts it suddenly worked lol

[tawny root]

@main bane did you add or remove any mod from gamma

[main bane]

no

[tawny root]

Ok

[main bane]

i just tested some things in the Atmos editor and then i got some weird stripes on walls everytime the sun shines on that walls

[inner swallow]

I'm curious of the same thing

[normal shadow]

do reshade have big performance impact?

[ocean wraith]

Yeah

• • 10 fps

But it depends

[normal shadow]

is there guide to installing reshade?

got some gpu headroom

[uncut otter]

#╟🎑reshades message

The first 3-4 steps are how you'd install reshade.

Although if you have the current Gamma install and you didn't check delete reshade dlls in the installer then you have it already installed

The base preset is pretty lightweight and doesn't do much on performance

[fast mason]

how can i fix this(enhanced shader color grading)

[echo hawk]

Its already installed...

[normal shadow]

then how can i customize it?

[echo hawk]

Press home key

[novel mesa]

Hey guys, I know I can probably find a solution to my problem by just scrolling for a while, but I thought I'd try asking first: Is there like a default shader preset I can try out? Imma be honest, the reshade offers so many options that I'm not sure what I really want turned on, off etc

[clever helm]

I built my reshade preset off of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uCR7UThyW0

it's a little old, but it has the settings that are most important. Skip to 13:50 if you already have the reshades installed

I'll drop my preset in here as well if you would like to test around with settings

overall, reshade is just meshing a bunch of different options to find something that looks good

be warned, you will lose a good bit of FPS if you go all in

[novel mesa]

Aight, thanks, ill try it out

[slim patrol]

inside of gamma there are a large selection of presets in the dropdown menu, have a look through and see what you like, chose one, maybe add/change it

Prosperity is also nice, can find that on moddb

[restive flax]

ay my NV is too dark to see anything

thats at its max brightness btw, what shaders do i use to make this work?

[slim patrol]

have you tried pressing n several times, it changes the nvg brightness

[uncut otter]

That or inside the mcm settings go to beefs nvgs and turn up some the settings

[sudden panther]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/80s-feel-reshade this is what ive been using with my winter gamma build

[night canyon]

is this like somethine new you have to download? or is it already in reshade menu?

[visual hearth]

Turn off DRME to get a good bit of fps back. You don’t have TFAA enabled there’s no point in having DRME

[ionic mountain]

anyone know if there are any lists that show shader sets for hippo's?

[night canyon]

@visual hearth is it possible if you could help me with a shader bug, or something, idk what causes it

i can show you if i stream for you, it's like these bugged out lines on roads and walls etc

i figured out, that if i turn sun shadows off completely it is gone

but then games looks washed, and very dark

[night canyon]

if someone knows anything let me know, bcuz it's only when i have sun shadows on, idk if there's some line in files that i can delete to not have the lines idk, let me know

[visual hearth]

anomaly launcher, raise shadow map above default

[swift robin]

could you send the file?

do I need to put it in a certain load order

Putting at the bottom of your mod list should be fine

Very easy to tweak too

[rocky nova]

is it in mod config menu to change stuff with it

[austere saddle]

It support fomod

I just drag & dropped it into MO2 and it lets you choose what you want

I wish he made it so this was an option:

[rocky nova]

just installed it looks sick asf

just installed this in the disabled is it just a graphic boost

[swift robin]

anyone can send me his default bin folder because i have a reshade and i want to uninstall it

[austere raft]

Really enjoying this setup atm, the only problem is the menus look a little weird, but the game looks incredible. Only losing 10-15% frames for the pleasure too

[faint ore]

guys can anyone with a good looking game go to the base further down from the farm in cordon, look inside the buildings there and send me a screenshot of how the game looks like for you guys. cuz there isnt much lightning it looks terrible in my game

[thorny sentinel]

Not sure if this is a reshade issue, but does anyone's guns/arms have an almost glow-like effect on them? It's hard to explain but noticeable especially if you sway your weapon over shadows, it seems to remove them. Weird to explain but if anyone knows what I'm on about let me know please 🙂

[austere raft]

I think that can happen when there's too much clarity, and HDR toning. It makes a glow around almost all objects, especially for things like your gun, and it's made more obvious is you're using sharpening as well.

Are you using a reshade preset?

[thorny sentinel]

Hey, thanks for getting back to me. So I'm just using regular AtmosGAMMA with CA disabled.

I've found out that it's SSAO, and it's particularly bad in lowlight conditions. If I use any SSAO option (SSDO, HBAO, HDAO) on either low, medium or high, I get this 'glowing' around my weapons and characters arms. I restarted in between every setting change too, which... took a while. As soon as I disabled SSDO, no more glow. Tested each setting with reshade on/off. It's a shame, because I'd like SSDO, but it's just too prevelant.

I did take a video if that helps illustrate what I mean a little bit more, I can post it 🙂

I definitely thought it was a reshade thing but it doesn't look like it is

[austere raft]

Awesome, glad you figured it out. If you're running reshade, try turning AA off for some performance increase and imo better visuals too

I have mine on SSDO at low with volumetric light on, and I don't have that glow, weird

[thorny sentinel]

Thanks man 🙂 it's still there to an extent, especially when I wave my weapon over say, grass shadows from SSS. They sort of disappear before my gun covers them, I'd that makes sense??

I actually disabled AA pretty recently and am pleasantly surprised at both visuals and FPS 😄

[thorny sentinel]

Hmm, I wonder if it's a shader cache thing. I've deleted the damn thing so many times though at this point, this is the best install I've got of them yet, with no weird water or anything

[coarse vault]

any idea how to deal with that ugliness in the distance?

[sonic robin]

@coarse vault My guess is possibly a bloom effect that is making that wonky contrast. Are you using a bloom effect?

[visual hearth]

Try putting it back on SSDO, switch to borderless and see if it goes away

[thorny sentinel]

appreciate it man, I've been playing on borderless actually. No difference between fullscreen/borderless

[thorny sentinel]

I've had this before, it's almost like trees are transparent/overlayed over objects? Try deleting your shaders_cache in c:/anomaly/appdata. It looks particularly bad in daytime rain/fog

[coarse vault]

Thanks, I'll try that.

[thorny sentinel]

I deleted the screenshot I had saved of it but yeah, hopefully that fixes it

[coarse vault]

where can I download the shaders only? I've messed up all my presets

[karmic heart]

having the same issue with fog on my first launch with a clean install, clearing the shader cache didn't help unfortunately

[drowsy bane]

I noticed I have the same issues @old hornet and @old vigil were talking about when using HDR. In dark scenes or at night there's just really ugly shadows with heavy banding. Turning Auto HDR off in Windows gets rid of the banding but then there's no HDR... Did anyone find a fix for that yet?

[thorny sentinel]

hey, did !k98 work for you?

This is project inverno, #custom-textures message

[coarse vault]

Thank you, I reset the shaders thank you. But every single profile has that strange fog/distance lighting

this just started happening after I updated GAMMA

[thorny sentinel]

Hmm, I can't remember exactly what I did to fix that but I'm 99% sure it's not a reshade issue. This is my shader load order, note for some reason with beef's nvg below 190 - SSS, I get 10+ more fps for some reason. Atmospherics Shaders is way down in the load order where it was by default, under Gamma fixes IIRC

[coarse vault]

i reinstalled grass tweaks. and redownloaded SSS -- there was no mod data at all in there after the update i did. and turned off this and I'm all good now. thanks!

[thorny sentinel]

yeahh, I think SSS has been the source of a ton of my issues too tbf. i was considering doing a reinstall of it but... there's so many compat patches and tweaks that I just cba, I'll just put up with strange banding/halo/glows on my weapons for now I guess. Glad you're sorted though mate 🙂

[steel lake]

Hey guys, do we need to update reshade?

[sudden panther]

I am using "FROZEN ZONE" https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/texture-modification-frozen-zone-for-anomaly-final-version which is a compliation of a bunch of different winter mods, it's fully compatible with gamma and an easy install

[stone ivy]

is that install mid play through friendly or no? been thinking about doing a play through with it as of late

[eternal reef]

Guys, does anyone know what the reshade is?

[leaden vapor]

Expedition maybe?

[gilded jewel]

Hey, How do i go about using a preset on reshade?

[elder heart]

If its just the ini file for a preset, you can put it in your Anomaly's /bin folder

If it has shaders/textures too they go into /bin/reshade-shaders

Once installed, you open the Reshade menu, click the drop down at the top and click the preset you wish to load

[golden fossil]

Hello guys, does anyone have problems with ReShade and disabling it, every time i disable Reshade ( i do it because instead od 40fps i get 80fps) game stars without it and works very well with al settings high even hbao, but when i exit the game and run it again over mod organizer, it gets enabled, even though i deleted it with launcher.
P.S. alertnatives do not work like one with pressing home key (bitnih shows up) and by deleting gamma.ini in anomaly folder (other dx8-dx9 ini files can't be found).

[gilded jewel]

Would Expedition be fine to use? Just get the ini file and put it in the Anomaly bin folder?

[elder heart]

The reshade preset would probably work to a degree, but it won't make you're game look like Expedition if you're still playing base GAMMA

[gilded jewel]

Ah, What one should i grab then? My pc is high end so i can tweak it if its too much.

[elder heart]

@golden fossil Are you uninstalling Reshade through reshade itself or just trying to delete random files? Grab a copy of the latest reshade installer, launch it and direct it to the EXE you're using to launch/play GAMMA. Select Uninstall

@gilded jewel the presets that come default with GAMMA through Atmospherics are all pretty good and are mostly set up to be used in GAMMA

[golden fossil]

Through the launcher by checking the box.

[elder heart]

ATMOSgamma is my personal favorite default although theres R+ which uses more cinematic effects to push your PC

[gilded jewel]

Ok, where do i load them? Main menu?

@golden fossil the anomaly launcher? I think you're just deleting the shader cache each time not reshade. Grab a copy of reshade from their website, and use that to uninstall it against the respective exe you launch

@gilded jewel When you've launched GAMMA you can hit the Home key to open the reshade menu, there should be a drop down menu at the top of that, in there you should already see things like Atmos.ini AtmosGamma.ini AtmosR.ini etc

[gilded jewel]

Ok, ill run your fav then, see if it runs ok. Gimme a bit.

[elder heart]

you should also remember to type cfg_load atmos (or atmosr) to make sure your tonemapping is set to Atmospherics

[golden fossil]

Okay will try that thanks a lot, but i was using GAMMA 4.0.03 launcher to delete it, just like it it is said to be done in support channel of this server, sorry i do not know how it is called i am new on discord.

[gilded jewel]

in console?

[elder heart]

In console yep @gilded jewel - ah no worries @golden fossil, i haven't checked their instruction but this should ensure its gone

[gilded jewel]

Also im apparently running AtmosGAMMA? Lol.

[golden fossil]

Thanks again

[elder heart]

Yeah its the default reshade with Gamma through Atmospherics as of .9 🙂 - But feel free to check out the other presets in there

[gilded jewel]

[elder heart]

If you've got the latest version of Atmospherics too you should also have a Mannfred preset which is a bit of a different look

[gilded jewel]

So i loaded AtmosR+, but nothing looks different?

Still rolling 100-120fps too.

[distant kite]

I want to run AtmosR++ but it makes my screenshots blank/grey with the FPS counter in the top right corner xD

[elder heart]

Did you accidentally disable reshade Zefro 😛 (It'll say if its disabled at the top of the menu)

[gilded jewel]

No, Its working, it loaded from AtmosGAMMA to AtmosR+ and R++ fine.

Loaded both, at menu then I loaded save.

[gilded jewel]

AtmosR++ for me.

[distant kite]

Oh mine runs it great just when i take a screenshot

[gilded jewel]

AtmosGAMMA.

[gilded jewel]

https://tenor.com/view/numerics-glitchcraft-glitch-gif-18060484

Seems just like better lighting to me so, ill take it. lol

[distant kite]

Yea the lightning during a storm is awesome

[gilded jewel]

Welp. Cheers and Ty for help, all.

[austere raft]

Found what makes this happen now. It's in advanced settings.

[eternal reef]

it gamma

[runic ingot]

hey i just installed the expedition shaders but its very gritty, how can i adjust it?

[dawn python]

i've seen this before and my workaround was using Reshade's screenshot tool instead of the built-in Anomaly one. Setting for Reshade screenshot hotkey + save location is in reshade settings

[steel lake]

Thanks

[thorny sentinel]

@main bane fyi don't delete the shader cache this way, not sure why but everything in FAQ says to delete your shader cache manually by going into anomaly/appdata and deleting from there

[barren oriole]

how can i change skybox to be less bright? during the day sky is always bright af... i've never seen clouds 😦
I use AtmosR+ with RTGI and HDR reshade

[old hornet]

AutoHDR will only make it worse since the game doesn't have support anyway, just run it in SDR unless you manage to get SpecialK working on it. As for the shadow/banding issue, it seems to be linked to the settings used by Dynamic Tonemap. I haven't completelly fixed it but setting "Minimal Allowed Lumscale Ambient" to 0 helped a lot during night time. I'm trying to find a guide or something to help tweaking it but so far it's a massive pain.

[manic sage]

HDR?

I got rid of HDR a long time ago with AtmosR+ for the reason you are talking about

HDR in reshade does not have enough granular control to fix the issue that you are having

[barren oriole]

Thx, ill turn it off

[rotund axle]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/rays-of-anomalous-worlds-weathers-reshade could anyone help me figure out how to make this mod/reshade work with gamma?

[tawny lichen]

Can anyone offer me a tip or two about updating my reshade version? When I open GAMMA I am informed that a new version (5.8) is available. I have downloaded this version and attempted to install it to my GAMMA launcher (if that's how its done). But, when I run GAMMA again I am informed that the reshade being used is still at 5.7.

[elder heart]

@tawny lichen You install reshade against the AnomalyDX**.exe you are launching through Modorganizer. E.G

[tawny lichen]

Thank you for your response. It worked.

[gaunt pawn]

Yeah, at first HDR can be too bright or too dark. I've learned you have to find a balance with other .fx like Vibrance and Curves. Eventually you will find the sweet spot, but it's never perfect. HDR here.

[night canyon]

Are you running some kind of mod to have these nice looking skies and clouds, i mean everything looks so nice even your water etc.

That shit looks dope, mine doesn't 😭

[safe cairn]

Guys when im pasting a new reshade to the anomaly folder, should i skip the reshade-shaders folder or replace it?

[austere saddle]

His image oddly reminds me of this: https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/2k-upscaled-skyboxes-almost-definitive-edtion

[night canyon]

Hmm does this still work with todays gamma?

[austere saddle]

I have no idea

[night canyon]

Fuck, alright

[ember condor]

if you test this out let me know if this mod works, looks amazing if it does

[night canyon]

Yeah will see, have not yet tested it. But will later today in the evening, but it will 100% eat fps hence it is 2k upscaled but will let you knw

[austere saddle]

For some reason I doubt it'll eat FPS

[ember condor]

ive been testing it out myself over the last bit here, and works fine!! i see on average 1-3 fs difference and thats marginal in loss to a point i bet you wont even see any difference in normal gameplay. im on a 1070 and im getting 80fps with or without it

it looks sooo much better

[visual lake]

can you pass the preset?

AtmosR+ looking kinda depressed

for the R+ and R++ dont change much

[icy stratus]

It won't touch fps and it's compatible with gamma as long as you disable skies redux

[austere raft]

Are you using today's update?

[austere raft]

Settings with some before and afters. Liking the new update from Hippo

[visual lake]

will update now

@austere raft but i saw other players in old updates with the game looking good, i cant get the reshade to work well, also i`m running in a good pc

the best i could get now is this:

the white reflex on the ground is very anoying

[austere raft]

That looks like a shader issue, not a reshade thing. Does the game look ok if you disable reshade with the Page Up key?

[visual lake]

yes

[visual lake]

after update still kinda weird, tryed few thing to improve the look of the game, but any of the ways worked out

[thorny sentinel]

What's your sun settings at? In the game settings.

Also, if you press home, what reshade profile are you running? The profiles are at the top

[austere raft]

I think you need to turn down this setting. Maybe crank down the base intensity too, that was making things washed out for me

🔽 This is how mine is set atm and it's fine now

[visual lake]

ty

[lilac girder]

Man I can’t stand having my sun up that high. Haha, just absolutely blinded and can’t see anything facing into it. I think I run them at minimums. Lol

[gaunt pawn]

Honestly, just running Hippo's amazing Atmos mod, then tinkering around with the .fx settings. But I tend to jump around from different presets all depending on my location in the map.

[gaunt pawn]

Sure, let me get some time tonight and see if I can drop it on here.

I've been DM'd a few times by others about the preset/s I use.

[slim patrol]

any suggestions how to fix this gray/black in dark areas? just feels off, been using atmosr+ but ive had it with other reshades too

[gaunt pawn]

try curves.fx in preset?

[visual lake]

level.fx worked for me

[gaunt pawn]

are we allowed to drop preset in this channel? I don't want to break any rules. 🙂

[visual lake]

i've saw someone posting it, probably is allowed

[gaunt pawn]

I'll DM those that have reached out.

[lilac girder]

🙋

[uncut otter]

Posting it should be fine, if it includes the shader and texture folders that might be a different story if they contain the RTGI stuff since that is still paywalled.

I'm sure a few people would love to have your preset if possible so don't worry too much about posting it whenever

[gaunt pawn]

No shaders or texture folders included. Just a custom preset based off of AtmosGAMMA preseet. Just added a few customizations. But all credit goes to @manic sage for providing his awesome presets to begin with.

[uncut otter]

Does the load order matter for skyboxes? I know Atmospherics has some so idk if it should be before or after. Maybe disabling atmospherics ones on top of skies redux?

[gaunt pawn]

Happy to share.

Custom preset, very light weight

Again, credit to @manic sage for amazing Atmos mod. Can't enough of it. 🤘

[cunning pilot]

is it that .ini settings posted above?

[wispy rapids]

Mhmm, all I added was color balance and colorfulness to it and ppfx bloom

[cunning pilot]

can u show these setts?

[wispy rapids]

you can just have the ini, it's the same as above except I just clicked on some things

Love you Hippobot

[wispy rapids]

and thank you for posting this

[cunning pilot]

a, i thought you changed something

thanks buddy

[lilac girder]

Any other graphics settings you use for your shots?

[ruby galleon]

aggressor reshade?

[worldly atlas]

e

[manic sage]

If anyone wants me to test their reshade presets you can always dm me and there is a chance that I might include it into atmospherics in the future.

[night canyon]

So what do i do with this custom atmosmod? Where do i copy it to and how do i use this one?

[uncut otter]

Download the preset ini they provided and copy it to your anomaly bin folder

[night canyon]

Thanks

[night canyon]

is this the same one as what zameus posted?

[wispy rapids]

No mines different a bit

[night canyon]

aah

[gaunt pawn]

No aggressor reshade. Based off atmosgamma.ini

[night canyon]

yo can you look your dm's please

need help

[night canyon]

should it be placed in any specific order in m02?

[icy stratus]

No

[night canyon]

anyone have any idea what's wrong in my reshade menu?

also i downloaded the one that Zameus posted, but i don't see it in reshade menu

[wispy rapids]

did you place it in your bin folder on anomaly 1.5.1.2

[night canyon]

yes

and capa_reshade is there also, but don't seem to see it in reshade menu

[wispy rapids]

have you changed your reshade shaders at all before installing it? I tried it with custom shaders but it gave me the error until I just used the gamma launcher to redo my bin for me

[night canyon]

wdym

all i did was removed atmospherics mod and installed hippo's one, the updated one

throug m02

[wispy rapids]

you know the reshade-shaders folder, have anything from that folder been changed at all, this preset is used for gammas default reshade-shaders as I know

[night canyon]

oooh, no not that i know of

[wispy rapids]

do this in your gamma launcher and it will create a brand new bin with the reshade-shaders needed for the preset since this is also the same way I fixed the preset myself since I had the issue you had

[night canyon]

but 2 of them failed to compile, and i'm missing the one zameus posted and i had a capa_resahde aswell and it's also not there

i'll try that then

[wispy rapids]

oh wait

[night canyon]

yeas?

[wispy rapids]

uncheck all except force git download

[night canyon]

so only force git should be ticked

alright, will see if this works

[wispy rapids]

it will give a fresh bin folder after doing it's thing

and just drag and drop the preset and load it up

[night canyon]

the one zamues posted?

[wispy rapids]

yes

after it is finished

[night canyon]

do you know anything of capa's_reshade

how to get that back

[wispy rapids]

I got no clue

never heard of capas reshade

[night canyon]

aah alright, sicne always been playing with that, and it';s gone now too :/

[wispy rapids]

the one hippo made is very good, plus you can always configure the preset as you like, so it isn't too bad

plus the new atmospherics makes it look good

[night canyon]

wich one is hippo's ?

the one that zameus posted?

[wispy rapids]

mhmm

[night canyon]

aah alright

[wispy rapids]

this is how mine looks, though I did also use the ADEGA pack with it

[night canyon]

so i did that, and the bin still looks the same?

[wispy rapids]

it been updated correct?

you did the launcher thing

[night canyon]

yes

and it finished

[wispy rapids]

launch the game and see if it works

[night canyon]

also doesn't A.D.E.G.A eat fps

[wispy rapids]

it does kind of if you have a lower end pc

[night canyon]

mhm, well got a rtx 3060 12 gb and a i5 10400f

32gb ram 2666mhz though

[wispy rapids]

I'd say you'd be fine

[night canyon]

aight

[wispy rapids]

I run a 1080 gtx with i-7

and get 100 fps

[night canyon]

mind if you link adega please

had the link somewhere, but lost it

[wispy rapids]

https://www.mediafire.com/file/w01ajn4tz1rkn7b/A.D.E.G.A+1.1.7z/file

[night canyon]

thanks, should it be placed in any specific folder?

load order i mean

[wispy rapids]

has to be placed above Particles Cenimatic VFX 3.5.1.1.2 BOTZ YAWM file

[night canyon]

working now but still don't see the one zameus posted

dunno what i'm doing wrong tbh

[wispy rapids]

idk either, for me I just dropped the ini and reloaded my reshade in game and it came up

[night canyon]

should any of these be changed

wonder if hippo is online, maybe he could lend a hand 😄

cuz yeah, idk

[night canyon]

cuz i mean as you can see it is here

[wispy rapids]

hmm lets try something, idk if it will work, but do you see Atmos gamma as a preset to select?

[lilac girder]

HOW!!?!? I have a 5800X3D with 6750XT and I can get 60fps stable, but not much higher

[night canyon]

yes i do, atmosGAMMA.ini

[lilac girder]

when I installed the new Atmospherics, it's referencing the reshade ini's in GAMMA/mods/GAMMA Atmospherics/bin/ and not in Anomaly/bin/. That could be what you are seeing here.

[wispy rapids]

okay let's try this, name the custom atmos preset and name it exactly like atmosgamma.ini and replace it

[night canyon]

wich one?

[wispy rapids]

oh that could be it too

[night canyon]

may i stream for you in a channel?

so that you could help me through this, cuz i gotta go soon

would appreciate

[lilac girder]

I'm not sure why the new atmospherics is referencing it's own folder instead of anomaly/bin. Something maybe that Grok has setup or I did something wrong, idk.

[lilac girder]

You can see exactly that in this screenshot at the top of the reshade window. It's referencing the mod folder and not the root anomaly folder

[wispy rapids]

I turned on the stutter addon, it makes models appear less and also bringing grass density and rendering down can help, I also have did some of the optimization settings for gamma

[lilac girder]

I'll maybe try those, but wow, that's a big difference

[wispy rapids]

i'm surprised mine runs good, I have like 50 extra gbs on top of gamma

[tribal berry]

Hello, I just installed GAMMA. This is how my game looks usually and Im honestly not a fan of it, its a farcry when I compare it to the screenshots sent in #╟📸screenshots and I find it too dark for my liking. How can I improve the visuals?

[wispy rapids]

some people are using a patreon exclusive reshade that gives RTGI enhancing capabilities to the game, which no matter what you do with your preset, it won't look as amazing as if it was a paid preset. and some of the screenshots do use the rtgi, however most are normal standard presets.

this preset might be good to try

also using the reshade will help

[tribal berry]

thats alright, Im just looking to improve my visuals it doesnt have to be like the ones in the screenshot channel. More specifically I want to brighten up my game without killing its colors and atmosphere

the ground is so fucking dark

(Unless this is normal, do tell)

[wispy rapids]

this is how mine looks

with my reshade preset

[tribal berry]

what the helllll

[wispy rapids]

I can give it to you

[tribal berry]

Shoot

[wispy rapids]

this is my version of it

it has a fish eye on it though, makes the game look more body cam ish but it can always be disabled

[tribal berry]

Uh wait, a dumb question but how do I apply this to my game?

I just got back from Anomaly after a very long hiatus

[wispy rapids]

go to anomaly 1.5.1.2 bin folder and drag and drop

and once in game click the "Home" button and open up reshade and select "Custom_AtmosGAMMA"

also re-installing AYDINS Grass Tweaks addon can work to give greener grass and color

[tribal berry]

Alright, thank you lots. Ill apply this to my game aswell as browse through the anomaly page and if theres anything else that will pique my interest. The Atmospherics weather mod seems very interesting.

[wispy rapids]

yes it is actually in the game, however a brand new update dropped, here is the link

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/hippos-shaders-and-atmospherics

[night canyon]

@wispy rapids mind if you hop in a channel again

[tribal berry]

Ohhh, I see.

Ill send screenshots once I am finished with everything

[lilac girder]

did you run cfg_load atmosr from the console?

[tribal berry]

No

[lilac girder]

once you've setup reshade with the preset of your choice, either Atmos defaults or Frosty's reshade preset, then open the console with the ` key and type that command in. It could be that your gamma and brightness and such are set very low

that command will set things to their intended default levels

not guaranteeing it'll fix your issue, but just something to try

[wispy rapids]

https://www.mediafire.com/file/w01ajn4tz1rkn7b/A.D.E.G.A+1.1.7z/file

just posting for valiant

[night canyon]

@wispy rapids have you sent me those mods yet?

[wispy rapids]

yea it's gonna take a bit to load to google drive

[night canyon]

no stress, thanks

[wispy rapids]

it's about 13 gb total

[night canyon]

#╟📸screenshots message

anyone have any idea to wtf is wrong with my game

i re-installed aswell

and deleted shader cache

that's with fog enabled in debug

[austere raft]

How would I share a custom preset with a friend? So they don’t have to manually input all the shit

[coarse vault]

Try reinstalling SSS

[night canyon]

what is this?

screen space shaders?

this one?

[night canyon]

what should all be ticked when re-installing SSS ?

[coarse vault]

i clicked like all the compat patches and I deselected weapon DoF because I don't like it

[night canyon]

so you ticked everyhting except DOF?

[coarse vault]

thats for preference, but yes. you can tick that and see if you like it in game.

also there was some AutumnNoLeavesLODfix (or something like that) that I turned off

different mod in the list to find, not apart of SSS

[night canyon]

and this?

[lilac girder]

I don't think doing this is going to fix anything for you, you're messing with a pretty key component of the graphics in SSS.
