╟🎑reshades

[night canyon]

yeah ik

that's why i'm hesitant

[lilac girder]

and are likely to just make things worse

[night canyon]

i just dunno how to fix wtf is wrong with my game

[lilac girder]

what is the overall issue you're trying to fix and have you asked in the dedicated support room about it?

[night canyon]

already re-installed and deleted shade cache sill have same prob

look in screenshot channel

you'll see i posted there

[lilac girder]

sure, but asking for support in reshades and screenshots is a lot less likely to get you help than asking in the rooms dedicated to support.

[night canyon]

this is the new atmospherics of hippo right?

if so why is this one still here, or is it fine?

[slim patrol]

as long as its disabled it wont matter

[night canyon]

@lilac girder you have no other possible idea what the problem with my game could be, hence i've asked a lot of peeps now, and been surfing google but came up emty handed

[lilac girder]

Yeah. I’m not sure. Graphics driver maybe. Did you change any settings in the Video or Video Advanced sections in the game?

[night canyon]

nope

updated nvida today

[lilac girder]

And it started after that?

[night canyon]

and also no, settings has been the same sicne before the issue

no i think it started after i tried fucking with fog in the debug menu

[lilac girder]

Or updating was part of trying to fix it

Yeah man. That’s super strange. Maybe a complete uninstall/reinstall is next on the list,

[night canyon]

just dunno if it's possible to reset/default the debug menu

[lilac girder]

Like literally start from scratch. Delete anomaly and gamma and go through the install process from step 1. Idk

[night canyon]

fuckk not keen on that :/

[lilac girder]

Yeah. Don’t blame you

[night canyon]

maybe i just go play an other game then idk, i'm just so annoyed honnestly

[lilac girder]

That’s so weird man. Sorry. Wish I could pinpoint something that would cause that.

[night canyon]

yeah me too bru...

there's no way to backup my current mods in m02 and save files if i do a complete clean re-install?

[past shuttle]

You could backup via copy/paste some mods from GAMMA 0.9\GAMMA\GAMMA RC3\mods in some different folder. Maybe this will do it for you so you get things sorted after a fresh install.

[uncut otter]

Little late to this but did anyone tell you to update to the newest SSS? Using the newest version of that with the modded exes that come with it along with the new Atmospherics update replacing the GAMMA default ones could be it. Seeing as Gamma doesn't have the latest versions of those mods yet. Maybe someone can correct me or add on to this but maybe deleting the shaders and texture folders inside your anomaly bin folder then replacing them with the ones that come with the newest Atmos update might help. Also shader cache just to be safe, idk seeing as I haven't seen anything like what you posted in screenshots.

[night canyon]

new SSS?

also? how and where do i get the new ones to replace the old textures and shaders wiht?

[night canyon]

any help would be appreciated

[uncut otter]

Yeah the default GAMMA ver is 15.0 and the new is 15.4 for SSS

[night canyon]

can you link me the new SSS

[uncut otter]

Yeah gimme a sec

[night canyon]

got the new atmos from hippos

[uncut otter]

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

[night canyon]

running it currently, but didn't know about a new sss nor replacing the old text and shaders

[uncut otter]

I would say try the new sss and if that doesn't do anything then try the deleting folders stuff after

[night canyon]

ooh i have the new sss and atmos

but dunno if i replaced the old tex and shad for it, just not sure how to do this

[uncut otter]

Well that's just something you can try doing, don't know if anyone here would recommend that but it doesn't hurt

[night canyon]

i am in a discord if you want to quickly hop in and show me the way

😄

[night canyon]

anythign at this point myight help

[uncut otter]

I can't hop in but just find the Hippos Atmospherics file you downloaded, then open the anomaly bin folder. Click reshade folder and delete or move those shader and texture folders. Move Atmos ones in

[night canyon]

same with SSS?

[uncut otter]

Nah SSS is fine so long as you updated it Via Mo2 and manually put the new modded exes from that into the anomaly bin folder as well

[night canyon]

don't think i did

i just removed old sss and atmos, and never touched anomaly reshade-shaders folder

so dunno if i should do it with both?

[uncut otter]

Well all that needs to be moved from SSS is modded exes

Atmospherics has all the shaders and textures used for presets

Sometimes it's wonky and maybe something isn't right in your base anomaly bin folder

I think on the SSS moddb page they show you how to properly install it so you can follow that if you wanna just go over it again even if you already did it

[night canyon]

so what should be moved here?

[uncut otter]

Nothing, also you sure that's the newest SSS?

[night canyon]

yeap

[uncut otter]

When you download it from there when you open the zip it should have modded exes which are to be moved to where ever you have anomaly

[night canyon]

15.4

right

[uncut otter]

Yea

[night canyon]

i don't see modded exes

[uncut otter]

Go into the actual download zip not the Mo2 installed one

[night canyon]

that's why i'd like you to hop into a channel but if you can't it's all good

ooh

[uncut otter]

That just added whatever you selected via Mo2

[night canyon]

this one?

[uncut otter]

Yess

[night canyon]

so waht then

cuz already installed this via m02 and selected what someone else said i should select

so idk

[uncut otter]

In the bottom folder "Manual Installation" there should be dx11 exes that you need to copy or move

[night canyon]

to where?

[uncut otter]

Where ever you have Anomaly installed and inside that bin folder

Not in Gamma or Mo2

[night canyon]

wich one?

[uncut otter]

Bin

Yup

1.5.2

[night canyon]

then there is this

[uncut otter]

That you don't need to worry about

Just the exes

[night canyon]

then where?

[uncut otter]

That path seems right to me

[night canyon]

so just 1.5.2

[uncut otter]

Yup

[night canyon]

dx11 versions need to be replaced?

aight done

it's launching with this now though?

even though i have dx11avx slected?

wrong one sorry

[uncut otter]

You can copy both over

I only use the dx11avx so whatever you use

[night canyon]

so i have this slected but once i press play, i start with anomaly launcher

so dunno wtf is going on now

:/

[uncut otter]

The actually launcher comes up or is it just loading?

[night canyon]

no just this screen

sayign stalker anomaly

then it launches game

but before doing all this you've told me now, it launched with other loading screen

[uncut otter]

When the game starts is it anomaly or gamma?

[night canyon]

then it launces like this

so dunno why it says stalker anomaly when i click play

used to say something else

[uncut otter]

That's fine

Mine does that as well

[night canyon]

hmmm alright, if ya say so 😄

ooh okay

[uncut otter]

It's always done that for me so idk what you were getting

Just load into a game and see if it runs and doesn't crash or anything

[night canyon]

anyways it works, but after having completely re-install like a fresh install i get this now, flashlight barely works, and it's sooo fucking dark yet it's like 5 in the morning

so idk anymore, been in a channel with rexz and he doesn't seem to know either so

[uncut otter]

I think I've seen someone with that same problem before, maybe try deleting shader cache again

[night canyon]

did it doesn't work

so idk

[uncut otter]

hmm

[night canyon]

i wish hippo was online, bet he could get this shit fixxed

god i've been wanting to play for 6 hours now, but been struggling to get this fixxed

i fixxed that other screenshots i posted with a fresh new install of gamma, but now if have this shit

do you have any ideas dude

i really don't want to give this game up

[uncut otter]

I mean since it's already scuffed you could try deleting the reshade folder inside your Anomaly bin and just copy over those from Atmospherics

And make sure to delete shader cache before starting up the game

Literally just open the 2, delete the one in Anomaly and copy from Atmos

From what others have said everything should be working so it doesn't make sense on why it would be bugging out so hard. Also idk if you are trying it on a new save but I suggest that too just to see if it's something wrong with the save or the shaders themselves

[gaunt pawn]

Is the dark scene happening only when reshade is enabled?

[night canyon]

@elder heart mind if you help met later today at 7 in the evening, 8 hrs from now. Kinda still need your help with those sss setting and sun shadow for thos textures etc

[elder heart]

@night canyon I'll probably be asleep (it'll be about 2-3am for me lol) but if you see me around tomorrow feel free to hit me up

[night canyon]

Fuck oright no stress

[tribal berry]

@wispy rapids @lilac girder This is how my game looks now, a lot better compared to the previous screenshot for sure. Thanks.

[stiff jackal]

hey guys i dunno where to post this can anyone help me out ?

[night canyon]

@elder heart you keen on helping me out now, or you busy

[tribal berry]

Is there a way to improve how indoors look in the dark?

[wispy rapids]

do you have adaptive tonemapper on

it might help for darkness

[tribal berry]

this is how it looks like with it turned on

[wispy rapids]

hmm you can change its settings to mess with it

or dpx

I'd just mess around with it, I mess around with mine constantly

[tribal berry]

Anomaly has major lighting issues tbh

[wispy rapids]

It does, and it being on the xray engine doesn't help it lol, best bet is to use nvg at night or keep a flashlight on your person

[tribal berry]

Nah I dont have issues with like, seeing things in the dark i simply just love the dark due to its atmosphere. Game looks great outside but indoors it's a bit rough.

Its noticeable during daytime when you enter a building with zero lightsource

[wispy rapids]

Yea I've noticed that too

[slim patrol]

I think this is my biggest issue with Gamma/Stalker in general, it doesn’t have a system to allow light to evenly distribute through indoor areas depending on time of day and light outside. No amount of reshades can fix this, most indoors don’t have light sources so indoors is weird since the outside light doesn’t bleed through well

[tribal berry]

Mhmmm.

Guess all we can do is be the lightsource ourselves

Absorb insane amounts of radiation and glow like a lamp

[wispy rapids]

would it work if we placed minecraft torches in each room but maybe a mod could implement something like that idk

for like light implementation

[slim patrol]

Thing is the abandoned, ruined husks of homes and buildings throughout the zone are perfect, the game just can’t simulate the light correctly from the outside

[tribal berry]

Yeah, thatd be awesome, but exploring dark unknown places is such an experience for games like STALKER imo

[tribal berry]

This seems to be an anomaly issue aswell

Vanilla games lighting are fine

[slim patrol]

I would have to check but I doubt it’s much better

It’s partially because we have been spoiled with quality lighting in a lot of games recently and the engine isn’t built for the at

[slim patrol]

That’s not really want I’m talking about, in my game x16 was fine

ThTs a reshade thing, I’m talking about the light levels inside buildings with windows etc not being correct and looking off because stalker can’t do the right kind of light simulation from outside to inside

[tribal berry]

Agreed, I'm really hoping STALKER 2 will turn out good to fill in that hole.

[slim patrol]

It’s a very flat colour/brightness, which in gamma is either too dark, too bright or just simple

[tribal berry]

You can mess with some settings to make dark indoors look decent, but the moment you go outside everything might look fucked up

[slim patrol]

That’s the thing, the light levels inside of buildings is binary often, it’s not natural and dynamic across the room

[wispy rapids]

man if stalker looked like that

[slim patrol]

You can either make it bright or dark or inbetween in reshade, then you might fuck up your outside settings

[wispy rapids]

yea true

then outside will be too bright I done that before lol

[slim patrol]

It’s an engine limitation, nothing to do with gamma

[wispy rapids]

yea, wonder in the future if it'd be possible to add a thing like that though to the engine

[slim patrol]

Stalker 2 looks like it does this so things are looking up

[wispy rapids]

Yea stalker 2 looks amazing

[past shuttle]

Personally, i deactivate dynamic/adaptiv tonemap everytime. Just try lumscale attributes via console with deactivated tonemap. Lumscale 3 / lumscale_amb 0.5-1.0 (personal preference) / lumscale_hemi 0.75 - 1.0 (personal preference). Imo way better than dynamic tonemap.

But like microsoft man said. This engine is already tweaked over her limits.

[slim patrol]

any suggestions on how to force this place to be dark without destroying the outside experience or elsewhere?

in theory this room should be pitch black

[ocean wraith]

Thats dark to me but I think that the fog ruins it

[slim patrol]

by dark i mean impossible to see anything without flashlight/glowstick/ NVG

i dont know why the fog is there

could possibly be the weather since this is still the same stage as an outside area

[ocean wraith]

There's an interesting thing about the reshade

You can bind a button for some effect that makes everything dark enough

And when you're out of the dark place you can just turn off that effect by pressing the button

[slim patrol]

i dont feel like I should have to press buttons to get the desired effect

[ocean wraith]

Well reshade is not perfect

[slim patrol]

but I not mega complaining, this is an engine issue in the end

just a shame that it there is no way to get around it

[ocean wraith]

Maybe there is but I'm not sure you know

[slim patrol]

well there is, but its a silly way around it

the button press for example to just shut down the brightness

[ocean wraith]

True

[slim patrol]

if it was possible and was done, some kind of lighting engine upgrade would make visuals in this game god tier, the stalker lighting system is already pretty good but has been eventually outdone after 10+ years of excellence

[past shuttle]

lumscale_amb is primary for indoor lighting. try lumscale_amb 0.5 or less. This should help.

[slim patrol]

ill check it out

[manic sage]

Not really Anomaly 1.5.2 does not have any way to dynamically control indoor lighting. You either get a pitch black look like expedition where its pitch black even in the day time or you get super light where you can see everything. I try to be in the middle.

[lilac girder]

Yeah. Engine limitation.

[manic sage]

Yup sadly

[lilac girder]

I mean, reshade and passionate people have made an engine that is 15 years old look pretty damn good.

[manic sage]

This is true and its a miracle

Did you see the stalker 2 teaser today?

[wispy rapids]

A new one?

[lilac girder]

!!!!! no!!!!

[manic sage]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1WwjxEXiLU

looks sick

[lilac girder]

squeeeee

[wispy rapids]

Oh shitttt

That looks amazing

[manic sage]

For comparison in Anomaly

[lilac girder]

UE5 is going to do amazing things for gaming

[manic sage]

Yeah it looks next level

[lilac girder]

and having Stalker be UE5 is just awesome

I really hope they maintain the ability to mod the game, it's such a huge part of what has kept Stalker alive all these years

[manic sage]

Would be stupid not to

[lilac girder]

indeed

[wispy rapids]

So proud of how far stalker has came tbh since playing it on my old dusty laptop back years ago but it still holds a core memory I love and my love came from call of pripyat

[manic sage]

Same first stalker game was call of pripyat for me

[ocean wraith]

Even so

It still looks very nice

And I find it funny that the Yanov from the future is not as broken as the Yanov from the past

[manic sage]

Yeah its kinda funny

[mint owl]

Hey Hippobot

Do you know from which mod is that rainbow lens flare effect ?

[manic sage]

but Im pretty sure its default as in the sun texture type

only happens in sunsets for certain weather types

[mint owl]

Oh, because I don't remember it was that strong before

[manic sage]

Oh default doesn't mean vanilla anomaly

its just the name of the sun texture being used for that

By default only happens in clear I think

[mint owl]

So, supposedly I can turn it off or replace it by another texture ?

[manic sage]

This is correct

[mint owl]

Thanks, I wasn't sure, and I'm not too fond off lens effects like this

The rest is amazing though

[manic sage]

Yeah clear and foggy are the ones that have it

but you can change it

I would change it to cloudy_light_sunset

its the same type of sun but without the lens effect

[mint owl]

Oh, that's good to know

I'll wait until I update from 1.52 (your Atmospherics) to replace that texture xD

@lucid vergeHere you go

[manic sage]

Yeah I was debating on replacing it before and I ran a poll for it most people said to keep it but I ended up striking a compromise and removing all lens flare effects from sunrises and keeping it only for sunsets for certain weather types

[mint owl]

For your question of a few days ago

[mint owl]

My man is a negotiator xD

[manic sage]

Trying to please everyone lol

[mint owl]

I tried that before xD

But I'm pretty sure I can do a better preset with Atmospherics than anything I ever did before

And especially, lighter

[manic sage]

Sick I'll definitely look forward to it. just let me know if you need to tell you about what new effects there are and such

[mint owl]

Yeah, I'm an old relic about that xD

Thanks

[lucid verge]

what is going on? hahah

[mint owl]

Saw a message of yours asking about the rainbow effect

[lucid verge]

oh right was just seeing the rest of the messages

thanks

[mint owl]

[lucid verge]

tbh wasnt thinking about this too much anymore since it's FUCKING CLOUDY EVERY SINGLE DAY

hahaha

[lucid verge]

where is this located?

[manic sage]

drop these files inside atmospherics mod

gamedata -> config -> environment - > weathers

should ask to overwrite

[lucid verge]

you fixed it yourself? Thank you!

[upbeat heron]

Any idea on how I hunt down the reshade option menu if such thing exists?

[lilac girder]

What do you mean? The Settings tab when you open Reshade with the Home key?

[lilac girder]

I’m gonna make me a personal mod to add these! Won’t have to redo it after update then. Thank you!

[lucid verge]

send it over when you're finished pls

[night canyon]

Hello, what are these for?

You guys know if there is a way to turn off the fogg completely, hence I've been having fog every single day 3 days in a row now, and it really obscurs my vission so much.

[lilac girder]

all credit to Hippobot, I just put the files into the right folder structure as a separate mini-mod.

[lilac girder]

It's for disabling the rainbow lens flare effect that occurs during certain sunsets. For those who don't care for it.

[night canyon]

Aaah

Do you know if there is a way to disable fog or to remove it

Ive bee struggling with it, have had fog dor 3 days now

[lilac girder]

I believe the default game settings have a section where you can completely adjust how often certain weathers occur

[night canyon]

Yes it is on none already

Still have it, i know theres a way to edit fog in some script but i tried to do that and still have fog, or this whitewashed effect becuz of fog in my game

[lilac girder]

is it actual fog or is it fog from having view distance set low?

[night canyon]

Actualy fog and my view dist is maxxed out

[lilac girder]

hmm, you'll have to wait for Hippo to be on then, I've got no idea.

[night canyon]

Alright, yeah been trying to get a hold of hippo cuz he knows more about this than me

Just dunno what else to do honnestly, like i tried editing files in the atmos weather scripts but didn't succeed, and i still have these fogged out days after editing them so yeah

Also deleted shader cache

[night canyon]

Should i just add this via m02?

[austere saddle]

[night canyon]

Any specific load order

[austere saddle]

As long as it overwrites the already existing effect then it should be fine

[lilac girder]

Just needs to be below existing atmospherics. Can be at the very bottom.

[night canyon]

So at the bottom of m02

Wil also work

[lilac girder]

That’s fine

[night canyon]

Aight.

[night canyon]

Noteless, you don't know much about this?

[austere saddle]

Have you tried finding something to with weather in the in-game settings?

[night canyon]

Yes my fog ingame settings are set to none

[austere saddle]

No idea then, the fog shouldn't last that long for you whatsoever

[night canyon]

Ik

[austere saddle]

Pretty sure it's a rare event in the game

[night canyon]

@manic sage when you on, lend a hand please. would appreciate it

this was after edditing the files

it's like this for 3 days now

:/

[austere saddle]

Why don't you just revert back/re-install what you changed

[night canyon]

didn't change anything and yes i did make a backup of the files i eddited, and placed them back after testing the edited file, and with default it's the same

i also did re-install hippos atmos, and stays the same, so idk. somewhere something is wrong

[austere saddle]

Only thing I can think of is to run the installer so it updates and replaces the files you may have changed

[lilac girder]

question... did you do things in the debug weather editor at all?

[lucid verge]

ty!

[night canyon]

yes

but i've asked around and tried to find out if it is possible to reset/default the debug menu

cuz i fucked around with fog, tried to make it 0 on all the preset, and i fucked my game i think

so idk anymore

so that's why i think i fucked up something

[night canyon]

if you know of a way to reset/default bug menu, that might help

otherwise, will wait on hippo

[lilac girder]

did you click the Play button in the weather debug menu to tell it to resume normal weather cycling? If not, it will stay on the weather you set it to.

[night canyon]

idk to be honnest

mind hopping into a channel with me

[lilac girder]

can't right now, sorry man

There's like a play button or a Resume Weather button, I don't recall exactly

just need to click that

and then close it all out

[night canyon]

hmm alright, will go see if it works

btw this is what i eddited in the atmos folders E:\GAMMA\mods\290- Atmospherics Shaders Weathers and Reshade - Hippobot\gamedata\configs\environment\weathers

there is 2 ltx files for Fog in there, i just decreased fog density and increased fog distance from all the time stamps in both ltx files

and that didn't work so, might just be some other issue, will test out the debug menu see if that helps

also been using this reshade prest, but it's not that

tried dehaze, also doesn't work. it just makes the sky super white so

[lilac girder]

try resuming weather and then sleeping for awhile to see if you have something other than fog

[night canyon]

did this you talking about

still the same

so idk, maybe it's some corrupted file or something, then again i did re-install all the weather mods that come with gamma by default, and also re-installed hippos atmos

so idk

[night canyon]

Any other ideas

[lilac girder]

nope, sorry

[night canyon]

Cuz game still looks like this after sleeping 2 days in a row

Hmm danm, alright

[lilac girder]

will need somebody way more skilled than me

[night canyon]

Sigh, all good man.

You think there is a mod to remove fog 😄

[swift robin]

@wind lotus
here ya go mans

[wind lotus]

[lilac girder]

In Reshade, do you have Glamaraye as part of your active preset? If so, look in it's config, and what is Fake GI big set to?

[night canyon]

i'll go have a look quickly

not currently in game anymore, cuz i got tilted 😄

[swift robin]

oh shit, right, i forgot, also use golden autumn for the retex's to get the colours to match the reshade

i use the desaturated one, there's a minor saturation boost in the reshade so that everything's kind of "uniform" in saturation, but it'll probs look fine with the normal version too.
(https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/golden-autumn-retexture-desaturated)

[night canyon]

may i ask why?

[lilac girder]

curious, as sometimes that can add a fog like effect, but not sure if it's responsible here or not

[night canyon]

that's all the config settings for glamaraye

[night canyon]

notice anything, out of the ordinary ?

[night canyon]

@lilac girder

[lilac girder]

sorry, been away. Just to try, drop Fake GI big AO from 0.20 all the way down to 0 and see what it does. If nothing then just put it back to 0.20 and I'm out of ideas.

[night canyon]

yeah it didn't do anything, maybe will wait till hippo gets on

[crystal wave]

Yo this is sick! Thanks for the preset haha

Been looking for the one that drewski uses in his video but ended up getting confused

[swift robin]

thanks brotha, glad you like it man

[night canyon]

@elder heart are you on?

[elder heart]

@night canyon Hey mate just woke up, sorry I missed you yesterday. Still having issues?

[night canyon]

yeah, mainly with helping removing those shadow/texture lines when i have sun shadow on

but not currenty on the game playing something else with some friends, would you have time in about an hour or two?

@elder heart

[elder heart]

Yeah should be around to try and help out around then

[night canyon]

awesome

[night canyon]

@elder heart mind if you help

in disocrd

just heading to the bathroom, brb

[elder heart]

I'm playing WoW with a bud so will be half distracted but i'm good to jump in and try to help on the side

[night canyon]

it's all good, actually managed to get it working

did some own file editing

thanks though

[elder heart]

Oh sweet dude glad to hear it!!

Whatd itd end up being?

[night canyon]

some shadow_ thing in sss files

or somthing similar

shadow.tex something, can't remember, but it's working though

[elder heart]

Gotcha, well happy to hear it 🙂

[night canyon]

awesome stuff dude, thanks though, enjoy the WoW raids

[elder heart]

Oh nah I'm not a raider, just playing on the Ascension private server with a bud for fun

[night canyon]

aah alright

[pure cedar]

Turning up my shadow resolution in the launcher helped me with that whole shadow banding on textures thing

That and some other setting I forgot

[tribal berry]

Can anyone recommend some vegetation mods and reshades that will make my zone look brownish and dead?

[wispy rapids]

Dead Zone is a start

does what the names says and makes it dead, aydin gras tweaks also I believe has a snow dead trees maybe

[crystal wave]

Might be a stupid question but where do we put a preset for reshade folder ? Is it in the Anomaly or Gamma folder ?

[wispy rapids]

anomaly bin folder

[crystal wave]

Thanks a bunch Frosty

[wispy rapids]

will have a reshade-shaders and all inis and such

[tribal berry]

Wasnt that mod deleted?

https://www.moddb.com/mods/graphic-modification-dead-zone-for-stalker

Files arent there anymore

[wispy rapids]

oh, guess it was deleted, shame honestly it was a good pack

[tribal berry]

Yeah. I used it before but that was when I was using my own modpack.

So I dont have the files anymore

hence why I was asking

[wispy rapids]

maybe someone may have them, might be rare since I don't know many who did use the dead zone

[tribal berry]

Yeah Ill ask around. Honestly though, it doesnt have to be exclusively dead vegetation, Im just looking to make my zone look depressing and grim while still being viable for gameplay (not too dark and too basic looking)

https://youtu.be/EI6AB8NTBPw

something similar to this

[uncut otter]

I think the autumn redux and stuff like that is more of that golden brown look

Might be a bit too "alive" but I know a few people modified it or aggressor stuff to get that more grim look

I forgot what channel it was but someone had a pretty dope setup with tweaked aggressor textures and somethin else

[tribal berry]

Ive used it before and messed around with my reshade settings but it just feels too exaggerated for my liking, maybe theres a preset our there that will save it but AA2 looks cool as shit

[ember tusk]

somebody got a dx9 preset

to make the game less potet

[austere raft]

Just reinstall aydins grass mod, I run the autumn one with reshade too. That gives the doom and gloom aesthetic I wanted at least. I can DM you then reshade preset if you like.

[tribal berry]

Please do

[night agate]

i get a message at the top " Update reshade V5.8.0" ive downloaded that version but what " Effect Packages" to install ? All of them ? Any help appreciated

[uncut otter]

None, when you update reshade it should give an option to just update

If you add any I doubt it would mess anything up but everything you need is already there for Gamma

You don't really need to update reshade either but ik how it is to not want any types of warnings

[night agate]

how do i do that mate ? im a total noob

so thats the DX version im using ?

[uncut otter]

Yeah whatever you have selected in Mod Organizer, open Anomaly bin path in Reshade and click that

The prompt should then be the same as the one I posted

[night agate]

Hmmm i just figured out how to get it to work after 3-4 hours of scrolling up and down in the pages. How do i remember what DX one ive used ?

any help appreciated

its probably right in front of me

[uncut otter]

Uhh where it says Anomaly Launcher by run

If you click that you can choose the DX you want to run

[night agate]

ffs thanks mate. im guessing DX11

[uncut otter]

I don't know what you were using but I assume it was one of the DX11

[night agate]

yeah i will look for the DX 11 in my installed folder

[uncut otter]

Yeah that'll update and then you should be golden

[night agate]

ok mate many thanks, i will tick all the boxes in the reshader and try that

[hallow mirage]

i found a really cool reshade option if u like a greener zone while having all of lars grass its called colour matrix active it and all the autum will turn green looks like aydins summer

[night canyon]

@elder heart yo, apologies, dunno if you're on. but need help again, thos shadow banding lines are back

[wicked breach]

Does anyone know any good reshade settings that are better than the default? I'm using the default gamma preset

[lilac girder]

Shadowbanding is fixed by increasing your shadow map above 2048 in the launcher

you have constant issues, at some point you should play the game a bit, even on vanilla GAMMA settings 🙂

[hallow mirage]

whats a good reshade for aydins summer/spring that comes with atmos with good preformence

[elder heart]

@night canyon Hey mate just got up if you're around.

[lilac girder]

Default gamma comes with it and is fine. Just activate AtmosR or AtmosR+ as well as run cfg_load AtmosR from the console

[wicked breach]

If I update reshade from their website will I lose all the default gamma presets?

[lilac girder]

I would not update reshade itself until Grok includes it

[upbeat heron]

Hey lads I was trying to get the TreyM film workshop and RAW working toghther, and I accidentally deleted the base gamma effect search paths. Anyone know what these are/where they are or am I gonna need to redownload?

[bold breach]

does anyone use agressor reshade?

[night canyon]

Hey man heading off now, seems like our time diff is a bit too much😂

[crystal wave]

I'm having an issue where I cannot load reshade using 'Home' button, and I didnt change anything, any idea how to fix it ?

[lilac girder]

Did you check the Delete Reshade dlls in the GAMMA updater?

[crystal wave]

Uh.. i thought thats how we clear the shader cache, so its incorrect ._.?

[lilac girder]

Checking that box and running the gamma updater will delete reshade completely.

!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.

[lilac girder]

You can restore reshade by running the gamma updater but do not check that box

[crystal wave]

I see, ok thanks a bunch

[hallow mirage]

anyone know how to install pikniks reshade stuff

[wild siren]

awesome basement in limansk city

[hallow mirage]

theres a basement there ?

u know theres a secret warhouse in rotok

[random mirage]

Hid In that basement a few times, because of emissions and Storms

[hallow mirage]

never found it

[wild siren]

found it because of a stash 😄

[upbeat heron]

Incredibly strange question, but can I run gamma without Gamma reshade?

[austere saddle]

[upbeat heron]

Is there a simple and easy way well explained somewhere in the discord I have missed?

For reference I am trying to install rawshade and I think that might be the issue

[austere saddle]

Just drag the rawshade.ini (whatever the name is) into the anomaly bin directory (Example: your drive\Stalker Gamma\Anomaly\bin\reshade-presets)

If you don't have a reshade presets then create the folder

You should be able to find a guide somewhere here or on youtube

[upbeat heron]

Thank you siR!!!!!

Ah so I think I figured it out. What is going on. RAWSHADE includes reshader and is for base gamma.

[quiet quiver]

I am getting shaders issues, haven't touched them once since I installed GAMMA but I am now getting those error on start a way to fully reset them?

nvm, somehow it changed to dX9 isntead of 11

is the flash from emission have always repainted the entire map white?

and how can I change that if its not

[plain swift]

which shaders should i install?

[subtle crystal]

How can I fix shadows glowing?

its kinda weird

[small kindle]

seems an good touch to me

[subtle crystal]

Everytime i move it flickers

[plain swift]

wich reshade is the original one for gamma?

[thorny vortex]

AtmosGAMMA

[plain swift]

thx

[plain swift]

do you know if those are the ones used in this video?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yGOv2D3JuQ&t=61s

[thorny vortex]

maybe? im not to sure but i would assume he probably kept it base gamma

[plain swift]

gotcha

[royal heart]

hello, how do i improve antialiasing in game i use build in reshade but the effects are not that good and the AA and smaa in graphic options do not change anything

[uncut horizon]

Anyone have a video on what settings/shades i should enable? I have a very beefy computer

[austere raft]

You can try the atmosR presets in the drop down menu at the top when you press the Home key. My personal favourite is the Phrozac areaX as a baseline, and then editing it to preference from there

[austere raft]

Reinstalling this to a season is nice for the general colour and mood of the zone too, I use autumn for a gloomy atmosphere

[uncut horizon]

Thank you! I will try it out

[low yoke]

u need to restart the game after u set the AA, it works... at least that was the case in my case .)

[polar tendon]

why is my stalker so pixalated

??

[ocean wraith]

What do you mean by that

Show a screen of your game

[polar tendon]

gamma is loading rn

[polar tendon]

see lol

[austere raft]

Didn't realise Mr. Fantastic was in the exclusion zone

[balmy ravine]

Did you try in fullscreen mode ? Mine looks like that in borderless when I use dsr

[ocean wraith]

I don't see anything pixelated yet I can see why are you saying that

Stalker doesn't have a proper AA

So you won't able to get a non pixelated picture

[balmy ravine]

Open in navigator. Even minimap looks jagged

[ocean wraith]

Oh well

Yeah you better try the fullscreen mode

[balmy ravine]

weird thing going on with the res

[polar tendon]

Only reason I was questioning cause when I look at other streamers for Gamma it looks crisp

[swift robin]

did you change anything about the resolution

or do you have dldsr on in nvidia driver settings?

[polar tendon]

Resolution still what it was to begin with

[polar tendon]

And I don’t think so

[swift robin]

change it to something else and then back to what it was before

if that doesnt help then thats just default stalker ur looking at

its very pixelated, also streamers tend to have good pcs so most of them play on a higher resolution

[polar tendon]

I have a good pc lol

Made for games just like this

Like on tarkov I run 90-100 frames with almost max graphics on streets

[balmy ravine]

its definitely not, hud is jagged

[swift robin]

but u have a 1080p display right?

[polar tendon]

Maybe

;-;

[swift robin]

so u dont know

do u know which screen u have?

[polar tendon]

Not really

I can find it

Since I recently changed monitors

[swift robin]

cuz if ur pc is good u might have a good screen too so the default 1080p resolution would be too low for your monitor and windows setting

[polar tendon]

And already forgot which one it is

[swift robin]

can u set the ingame res higher than fullhd

[polar tendon]

Ye I also forgot that’s how that works

Not on my pc rn

But I’ll attempt later

[swift robin]

yea try it out later

[polar tendon]

Ummm actually I can

I remember I went into settings before I made the world

[swift robin]

yea thats ur issue then, you have a WQHD monitor

if you do that later then also unselect the 1k option in mod organizer and select the one below, or your text size will be very small

[hallow mirage]

anyone know how to get pikniks reshade working like in the screen shots

[past shuttle]

Which screen shots do you exactly mean?

[rapid night]

You know, the screenshots

The ones with the things

[tight spruce]

anyone now how i can turn on the laser on my weapon?

[pine swallow]

hold L

[tight spruce]

ty!!!

[polar tendon]

how do i get to this again

[pine swallow]

is there a way to verify this files so the launcher can download them again or something else i can do to fix it? Never actually touched nothing in there
Just now i want to experiment with the shaders

[austere raft]

How did you get on with your settings and stuff?

[swift robin]

in the mod manager smh

[austere raft]

this

[polar tendon]

Nah this thing

Im@new lol

[swift robin]

that is that

i just have it dark

cuz my eyes

[polar tendon]

Im in mod rn looking for it

[swift robin]

you can search for the number

[polar tendon]

Found it

We don’t have the same number order

So I just went through the closest numbe

Wait so is 4k better or

Just

[swift robin]

no

thats for your screen resolution

did u check tho before that u can set it higher than default

lol

[polar tendon]

I didn’t ;-;

[swift robin]

all it does it make the text bigger

[polar tendon]

But Ik what my res is tho

[swift robin]

which is it

[polar tendon]

2560 x 1440

[swift robin]

aha

yep

go ahead tick the 2k one and untick the 1k

[polar tendon]

Mhm

Then what

Do I open gamma?

And go to settings

[swift robin]

yea

and change the res

should look 1000000% better lol

[polar tendon]

If it does

Ima cry

The best I can give u rn Is a Minecraft account

Im broke af war thunder did it to me

[swift robin]

actually, could need one lmaooo me and my friends bought a server again where we play on our almost 2 year old map

but nah lol

[polar tendon]

I mean if u want it idc

[swift robin]

im gucci

[polar tendon]

Just hit me up

I don’t even play

[swift robin]

ye is fine, i use the one of my friends brother lol

[polar tendon]

Bruh gamma is taking forever to open

[swift robin]

oh yea

let me explain

when you open gamma

wait

dont do anything

it likes to just not start

so rn u should just click on the it and wait till windows shows u that its dead

just close it

reopen it

and retry

[polar tendon]

Mmm Kay

[swift robin]

its like an old car

[polar tendon]

Mmm kay

[weary mason]

how i can install a reshade when i try it crashes

[hallow mirage]

what other files can i delete that only reshade uses

[polar tendon]

Umm

Idk why u would

[lilac girder]

You can just run the GAMMA Launcher and check the Delete Reshade DLLs option, if you don't want to use Reshade

[heady badge]

What does delete reshade do? Does this delete gamma reshade or just reset it? I just started gamma no other mods other than the addons they provide

[small kindle]

it deletes completely reshade from gamma

[heady badge]

How do i restore it?

[shell plover]

Is there anywhere a gallery comparing similar shots of various locations in different "seasonal" shader settings for GAMMA? I'd like to see which season would look the best for me.

[heady badge]

I miss understood what i meant was delete shader cache in anomaly launcher it just reset it right?

[lilac girder]

If you just want to clear shader cache yea that’s the Anomaly launcher or go into your Anomaly/appdata folder and delete the shader_cache folder manually. It will be recreated next time you run the game.

Don’t delete Reshade unless you really don’t want it or your computer can’t handle it.

[swift robin]

Hi. I have issues with those kinda stripped shadows. It usually happens near trees and in the morning/evening with clear sky. Also this effect is more apparent on the border of FOV, not in the places I directly look at. Anyone has an idea how to get rid of it?

[night canyon]

till this day i still have it and people said putting your shadow map to max will fix it, but nope still have these shadow band textures

but try maxxing out your shadow map in anoamly launcher, save settings. play and exit and go back to what dx version you were using see if that works?

[night canyon]

if anyone else have any ideas i'm all ears, would like to fix mine too

[balmy ravine]

maybe try higher sunshadow quality then. Not sure about that, usually 4096 shadowmap do the trick, though I'm always on "high" sun shadows quality in game settings

[tawny root]

@swift robinits from one of the shaders in the rehsade

[swift robin]

My rig is pretty old, so I keep all of those settings down, But will try.

[swift robin]

is it possible to disable that one?

[balmy ravine]

yes those 2 settings combined are very heavy when sun shine in evening and at dusk

[night canyon]

do you know wich shader does this in reshade?

let me know

[tawny root]

just go true em

[night canyon]

do what now?

this is what i currently have on

[tawny root]

open your reshade menu and disable shader after shader untill it goes away

[night canyon]

these are the onyl ones i have enabled

[tawny root]

you still having the issue in this pic

[night canyon]

yes

i also have those shadow lines

[tawny root]

can you see it on the pic?

[night canyon]

oh no, but it's where sun shines and when i look at things at a angle and on roads etc

[tawny root]

maybe its not the reshade idk

[night canyon]

alright, it's fine. guess i'll just disable sun shadow, hence when i disable sun shadow i don't have the problem, only when it is on

[past otter]

I heard yall like pixels, so I put some pixels on top of pixels

[swift robin]

damn those are a lot of pixels

[old hornet]

damn, 32:9 and 2x supersampling?

Interested by your reshade config tho, this is clean AF

[gaunt pawn]

You get a pixel, you get a pixel, everyone gets a pixel 🫴

🫵get a pixel

[random mirage]

https://tenor.com/view/mer-an-ge-l-pepe-frog-pixel-dance-gif-14710184

[past otter]

it's actually 4x , native res is 5120x1440

supersampled is 10k wide

[old hornet]

oh yea, forgot how multiplicating works. Me Maphs bad.

[past otter]

https://tenor.com/view/big-shaq-mans-not-hot-math-gif-10285836

[old hornet]

typical bandit IQ

[past otter]

you can do a lot of this simply with Hippo's Atmospherics, weather and time of day matters a lot. The "cleanliness" let's say, that comes from the supersampling. As the effects scale their sampling rate based on the rendered resolution.

[tawny root]

@past otter that my edit

Nevermind

[past otter]

#╟🎑reshades message

this one has your Benis config loaded

on AreaX latest edit by Hippo

more pixels here

#╟📸screenshots message

[old hornet]

Right now I'm juggling with settings a lot trying to fix the darn shadow/gamma bug I'm having but so far I haven't managed to find what exactly causes it. It looks like I get smooth lighting until a certain threshold where it just cuts straight to black.

[past otter]

the whole screen goes black or?

[old hornet]

It's almost like everything looks compressed (clear separation/banding between colors) but it's worse with shadows, as if anything under a certain brightness just cuts straight to black or has a wierd grey-ish color. I fixed the grey by lowering min ambient to 0 but now instead of grey it just cuts straight to black. Lowering my gamma helps make it less visible but everything ends up way too dark.

I'll try to get a screencap but it's not visible at all if you have a "normal" LCD monitor, as if anything that's darker than the backlight you normally can't see so the game cuts it off completely.

[past otter]

do you run an HDR display?

[old hornet]

HDR is off of course

look at the gradient of the pistol shaow

[past otter]

hot damn few more steps and you end up with negative colours

looks like some shaders are getting effed up

[old hornet]

I kind of cranked luminosity to make it easier to see since I can't see it on my 2nd monitor but see the gradient sticking out a lot on my oled

as I said, on LCD it's 100% invisible but on oled the contrast is good enough that I can see banding all over

[tawny root]

love the shots

[past otter]

clear 2 weather, atmospherics 1.83.5, AreaX Hippo Edit, turned off tonemap and reveil, kept the fake GI and only Benis CFG loaded

[past otter]

tried replicating it, it sort of is there you could say however not as visible. Looking at it I think it's screen space shadows which are part of SSS. Do you have the latest version?

[old hornet]

I don't think it's a gamma issue, it also happens in stock anomaly

[past otter]

what about other games?

[old hornet]

It's a stalker only issue so far

also it only happens in lowlight or nighttime, during the day the game's brightness doesn't seem to go low enough to clip like that

also, it happens a teeny bit in your screenshot

I can see the detail being completely lost in those darker spots

[past otter]

do you not see branches here? MXAO does the darkening, but if it's completely black on OLED then you should probably adjust your blackness levels on the display

do you see any shadows being crushed in the shots above?

[old hornet]

I see some spots here and there, but if it was only that it'd be a non-issue

[past otter]

if you're running a TV try playing around with these. I adjust these from game to game in order to get the detail back

note I don't play PC games on my TV

[old hornet]

I've got the alienware ultrawide, no controls for black levels

[past otter]

yeah we didn't include that one there

[old hornet]

I might try limited colors in the nvidia control panel and see if the game behaves better

[past otter]

what about a color profile are you running a default or did you download any?

do you have this on btw? if you're on Nvidia

[old hornet]

I'm on reference for now but otherwise I'm using no color profile. It's calibration should already pretty spot on

[green lake]

reshade with rtgi

[past otter]

I assume you didn't run into issues running native res at max refresh with HDR enabled in other games right? I'm thinking along the lines of cable bandwidth limitation if you're on DP, since the monitor doesn't have v2.0 but only 1.4 @old hornet

HDR at native res and full refresh is borderline

[old hornet]

at 175hz the gsync module only takes 8bit but has dithering. I tried both 10bit and 8bit @ 144hz and I can't see the difference.

It's honestly the only game giving me problems

[past otter]

love the sky reflection and ground illumination from it

[green lake]

yeah i love the graupel texture pack for snow

super good ground textures

then i just slap the watchdogs tonemap and it makes everything look cold

changed some stuff in hippos stuff

[mental root]

Rtgi literally does nothing. It’s pretty much just colored AO

[green lake]

not true

u legit just don't know how to use it

[mental root]

Sure, u must know the secret

[mental root]

How about post a before and after ?

[green lake]

it adds better shading

and gives better lighting

[night canyon]

is rtgi in reshade menu?

or is this something seperate?

[green lake]

its ray tracing

its on patreon for 5 bucks

[night canyon]

oooh

for gamma?

[green lake]

well not really ray tracibg

for reshwade period

reshade

[night canyon]

ooh

[green lake]

its like a recreation of it

[night canyon]

nah, i just want something to make my nights a bit brighter

know of something in reshade that would do that

also idk if you can see in the screenshot, but you see where i'm aiming at, in the distance it's so grainy around trees

any way to fix that

[green lake]

in visual settings you can make nights brightee

[night canyon]

any idea on this?

[green lake]

could be the sharpen in the reshade

sometimes it makes the sky grainy

[night canyon]

didn't work, don't have sharpening on atm

[drowsy fern]

Mind telling me your reshade/ES/Weather settings on this screenshots, please?

[crystal wave]

any idea how do we get the AreaX preset ?

[plucky flame]

which presets do you all use outside of the ones included? looking for a fresh look, currently on Atmos

[random mirage]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/cinematic-g-a-m-m-a-reshade-v1-3 I use this one, more of a natural look

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4LQp8WbeK8&list=FLb3eGiWFMDGR3HxmjleS_UA&index=18&t=89s Heres the dudes settings, I have tweaked mine to my liking though

[swift robin]

Hello guys, what's the best reshade you would recommend?

[plucky flame]

I'll give it a try ty, seems lightweight, with some grading slapped on top might look great

[plucky flame]

"best" is very relative, what are you looking for? realistic or more of a movie look, or something very light that doesn't eat frames, or something stylized and moody?

[swift robin]

I'd go with something realistic.

[plucky flame]

you can check out the one I got recommended, plus the ones already in Gamma are pretty good, I currently use Atmos

[swift robin]

Appreciate it.

[lilac girder]

I’d suggest just using Atmos/Atmos+ or phroZac_AreaX. Those are included in Gamma and are both fantastic.

[random mirage]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/atmos-r-tweaked-reshade-preset/downloads/atmos-r-tweaked-reshade-preset There Is also this one here by the same guy, I actually like to swap between the two from time to time

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtbhlDEf9G4

Kinda gives the game an "I am Legend" Or "The last of Us" kind feel

[hallow mirage]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/piknik-a-naturalistic-reshade-preset

[jaunty quiver]

are these baked in to gamma?

or seperate

also is the installation for all presets the same as in the pins here?

[random mirage]

Sorry for the late reply, no you have to download and put the Cinematic one here

The AtmosR Tweak you stick In here

[night canyon]

can anyone tell me wtf is going on here, i don't know if you can see it in the picture but there's this wierd texture glitch thing ?, like some lines

in jupiter

this is only appearing over the excavator in jupiter

[small kindle]

enable smooth water on adv settings

[small kindle]

i see them too but idk how to fix them

[night canyon]

mhmm, it's wierd

like looks like rainbow, but all just straight lines downwards

[small kindle]

yep

oh

welp i really dont know then

[abstract citrus]

a question about graupel, not really the right channel but i think ya'll qould know the most about it. if i wanna install graupel with inverno should i disable anything else or just the things inverno asks for? and should i place it after inverno in the modlist?

Also a question about shader preset, anything to recommend? currently just running gamma reshade with levels and vibrance, should i just tweak to look the way i want or download preset?

[balmy oak]

spent a lot of time tweaking with ptgi today, still a wip

everything looking rather pink for some reason, have yet to figure that out

[tribal mantle]

Asking this because might be linked to some shaders.
My current setup is a laptop with a GTX 1050, i5 7800hq and 16gb ram, but sadly I was getting 25-30 fps on DX 11( no matter the setting adjustment) so I tried DX 9 and getting solid 60+ and maybe down to 45 in Rostok and a few other places.
BUT, I really hate the vanilla NVG's after seeing how good Beef's NVG's are.
Does anyone have suggestions how can I improve my fps while still playing on DX 11? I already tried everything from #╰⚡fps-optimisation

[lilac girder]

Turning off reshade is step 1 of those recommendations.

That card is going to struggle though, especially since it’s a laptop version. Paired with an old CPU and that only is going to make a very CPU bound game perform worse.

[gloomy bear]

Finally achieved perfection imo

[plucky flame]

you've got a red curve bleeding into it somewhere in filters, but if you're doing it with LUTs or tonemaps that would be a hard fix

[tribal mantle]

Well I don't plan an upgrade in the near future, so I guess I'm stuck with DX 9 and the vanilla NVG's

[abstract citrus]

anyone have a decent reshade profile to share? something that would be a good base to start tweaking if needed

currently running gamma reshade with levels and vibrance

[lilac girder]

Change to AtmosR+ or AreaX. Both included by default.

[abstract citrus]

will do, are they fps heavy

[lilac girder]

Both great on their own. Or as a base for your own.

Yea a bit heavy. Do the non + version if it’s too heavy. Or turn off MXAO, that’s one of the heavier options.

[abstract citrus]

damn areax ate like 20-30 fps

[lilac girder]

Are you running base game AA at all?

[abstract citrus]

just 2x

[lilac girder]

If so, turn it off as the Reshades provide AA usually

[abstract citrus]

how about AF?

[lilac girder]

Keep that. Very little fps impact

Turn of MXAO in reshade. Does that get you a chunk of fps back? It’l look a bit worse, as you’ll lose shadows in corners and such. But it’s quite taxing on older hardware.

[abstract citrus]

dont see MXAO on the list as enabled

because it wasnt on im a dumbass

it looks so pretty, my screenshots are blank so had to snip tools it

[lilac girder]

Use reshade screenshot key instead of game screenshot key

Print screen I think

But it does look good. Have you done a cfg_load atmosr?

[abstract citrus]

nope

should i

damn, looks good

only thing i hate is the leaves are kinda jagged if you know what i mean

like on the one that fallen down

[lilac girder]

I’ll have to look. Does AreaX include SMAA?

[abstract citrus]

not by default

[lilac girder]

Fxaa is ok

[abstract citrus]

this atmosr+ default

turned on smaa and it helped a bit

might also just be textures

some glossy trees i have

[lilac girder]

Hmm not sure on that. Does look good overall though

[abstract citrus]

oh for sure + the cfg did wonders too

[pine swallow]

I was playing around with those options yesterday and i really couldnt tell the difference between FXAA, SMAA and nothing at all

[abstract citrus]

go from 90'ish to 60'ish fps so not bad

[lilac girder]

Yeah they are very similar. SMAA is technically a bit better imho.

[abstract citrus]

before and after. gotta tweak them as i go

[lilac girder]

60fps is where I play

Do you have grass shadows on?

[abstract citrus]

nope

[lilac girder]

Ok good

Couldn’t tell 100%. But those will absolutely kill frames

You could trying turning in game AA back to 2x to see if it helps some of your jagged and doesn’t cost too many frames

[abstract citrus]

i can always lower some settings, maybe it will boost fps maybe not but 60 aint bad

i think the jagged is just the way the trees have been made

[lilac girder]

60 is no issue. Game isn’t a competitive twitch shooter, so the millisecond differences don’t matter much

[abstract citrus]

because i remeber trying aa full and off and they still kinda jagged

[lilac girder]

I run the adega texture pack. So maybe I don’t get those. Idk

Or I’ve grown used to them

If you have the GPU memory to spare (>=10GB) then a higher texture pack is doable

[abstract citrus]

i should have

[lilac girder]

It’ll suck down the GPU memory though. I’m regularly in the 10-11 range

[abstract citrus]

yeah its the way its done that makes them so jagged far away

[abstract citrus]

i have 11gb card so they could work

[abstract citrus]

is it a hassle to install

[lilac girder]

not really no, download and drop in a specific location in MO2. #1043020993687474186 has the details in a pinned post.

it's a preference thing. Some people like the vanilla textures, some people like the slightly higher res and different ones from ADEGA.

[abstract citrus]

my fucking eyes with this mediafire flashbang

[lilac girder]

I like that it fixes the black rock schmoo

[abstract citrus]

oh you mean the one that'll hurt you?

[lilac girder]

no, the bad rock texture

[abstract citrus]

oh thoise

[lilac girder]

look like they are covered in black goo crap

[abstract citrus]

yeah yeah

" Now delete your Shader Cache" fuck. i always have problems when i do that for some reason

[lilac girder]

really?

[abstract citrus]

maybe ill back up the cache incase

oh yeah, 90% ill get a shader compile error

[lilac girder]

go to appdata/shader_cache, delete folder. It'll recreate it on next launch

that's odd. I've deleted it dozens and dozens of times

[abstract citrus]

oh i know how to delete it

[lilac girder]

just causes a bit longer startup to recache everything

[abstract citrus]

mine causes error dunno why

[lilac girder]

hmm, strange

[abstract citrus]

but ill make a backup just incase

usually i can fix it by launchin with stock gamma profile from mo2 so i guess it might be a load order problem or smthing

[lilac girder]

hmm maybe yeah, if you modified heavily

[abstract citrus]

i like to touch stuff

[lilac girder]

me too buddy, me too

[timid pond]

Is there a list somewhere of the reshade presets that come with gamma? i was looking at atmospherics guide but i cant get the imgur link to work

[gaunt pawn]

This is really nice. Is this Hippo's Atmos? What reshade?

[lilac girder]

Press Home button in game, drop-down menu at the top will list all the options. It defaults to AtmosGAMMA.

[swift robin]

fortnite lookin ahh

[wet epoch]

Hi ! i have a one problem whit Settings Reshade, not appears anithyng and i tested redirecting folder but still antihing appear, thanks if someone help me

I have GAMMA + EXP

this is the log from Home

[analog wraith]

Hey, sorry if this has been asked but I couldn't find a straight answer in searching, and I know that its up to personal preference, but what would you say is the best reshade settings that come in gamma to make it look as realistic as I can without adding other mods? This is my first real time getting into anything this deep with a game and I'm a little noobish so i dont want to break anything, but I want to make it look its absolute best for my own immersion.

[lilac girder]

Can you take a screenshot of the Reshade Settings screen?

[lilac girder]

Default Reshade that comes with GAMMA, open the Reshade menu with the Home key, change the preset at the top from AtmosGAMMA to AtmosR, AtmosR+, or AreaX. All of those are fantastic options and many people use them or base a custom reshade off of them.

[wet epoch]

here

[lilac girder]

Change this line by adding reshade-shaders\Shaders\** after the \

Change the line below it for texture search path as well

Add
reshade-shaders\Textures\

Then go back to Home tab and hit reload at the bottom

[wet epoch]

you are a good person my friend, i love you

[lilac girder]

that worked?

[wet epoch]

its worked

[lilac girder]

awesome!

[analog wraith]

thank you so much!

[lilac girder]

enjoy my friend

you as well TheProZakk

oh, @analog wraith make sure you open the console with the ~ key and type cfg_load atmosr. That'll adjust the graphics things like saturation and gamma to values that look good with those reshade presets

you'll have a sweet looking game to enjoy

[wet epoch]

y no found some shaders, like a porv ContrasstBrightness and i have 2 in error about GrainSpread.fx and SlitScan.fx, im sorry for you waste time on me.

[lilac girder]

That’s ok. Those shaders are not used in any of the default presets I don’t think. Shouldn’t cause any issues.

[wet epoch]

i solved :DDDDD

thanks good man

i used ContrasstBrightnessExpesure those shadders

i forgot Apply Settings in Gamma EXP console

[abstract citrus]

yes you are

[balmy oak]

it seems to only happen with rtgi on tho, maybe I should use a red curve to correct it though

seems to fix it a little bit

weird shading issues tho

ground changes colors

[gloomy bear]

It's Hippo's further edited Phrozac AreaX with Benis cfg loaded on top

[hallow mirage]

with the benis mod ?

[lilac girder]

This is a super good combo

[exotic topaz]

how to use agressor reshade?

i recently updated my organizer

[abstract citrus]

not sure if adega caused the glossy trees or not 🤔 all i know its caused by sky textures (pretty sure) depending on the time

@lilac girder did you have problems like this with adega

[lilac girder]

I do not. Do you have Aydin’s grass/trees enabled or did you turn it off?

[abstract citrus]

I turned everything off what was told in adega

[lilac girder]

Try with it on. It’ll overwrite the ADEGA trees. You can reinstall it via right click if you don’t want spring grass/trees

I use the autumn version. Just my preference

[abstract citrus]

im a fucking dumb ass

[night canyon]

yo so, can i use ADEGA with aydins autumn?

[lilac girder]

Yes. Just let aydin’s overwrite ADEGA, meaning it’s lower down the list. I leave it in the same spot just so a reinstall and give it a different name. Then just make sure I only have one enabled

[night canyon]

wdym you leave it in the same spot?

it sill should overwrite

[abstract citrus]

i think leave the original in the same spot

so when you reinstall it asks for a name and it will make a copy

thats what i think endless means

[night canyon]

where should i place the copy then, at the bottom of m02?

[abstract citrus]

after adega

i think between these 2 if i understand correctly

[night canyon]

how much does adega affect fps?

[abstract citrus]

not much atleast for me but make sure you have a good amount of video memory

[night canyon]

this is how mine looks currently

@lilac girder can you assist?

[abstract citrus]

like this i believe

[night canyon]

and do i keep the original one enabled?

[abstract citrus]

nope

[night canyon]

they still red?

[abstract citrus]

the red is okay i guess? imma quickly try if its the otherway around so gimme a minute 🤔 but disable the original

[night canyon]

it is disaabled now

[abstract citrus]

loading a save currently a few seconds

it was the other way

endless meant lower on the priority not on the whole list, my bad

[night canyon]

so if it's like this i'll have autumn trees and grass and adega will still work, in terms of re-texturizing everything and all that comes with adega except adega's default trees/grass?

[abstract citrus]

yep that should do it

[night canyon]

aight will check it out, thanks brother man

[abstract citrus]

hey, learning as i go 😂

[night canyon]

xD

so you have the original aydin's disabled then?

[abstract citrus]

yep

[night canyon]

isn't that going to cause me having missing textures?

[abstract citrus]

nope if you choose both trees and grass on the reinstall

[abstract citrus]

check #╟📸screenshots for a picture if interested

[lilac girder]

Other way around. Lower down is higher priority. You want aydins right next to the old aydins. Just turn off the old one.

[night canyon]

so like this

because if i click on adega it has red over the aydins

@lilac girder

[lilac girder]

That’s normal

read up on how mo2 works

[austere saddle]

You shouldn't care about the "conflicts" that much

Especially for textures

[lilac girder]

Everything that has a lightning bolt has a conflict. That’s the whole point

And why they are in a specific order

[abstract citrus]

so should i worry about the way i did it

it works

[night canyon]

aah, okay so this is fine like it is now

[lilac girder]

How did you do it Hatexs?

[abstract citrus]

like this

[lilac girder]

That would give you the default ADEGA trees. Which are also autumn but different

Nothing wrong with them at all

Just different

[night canyon]

so adega has autmn?

[lilac girder]

Yes

Just a slightly different look than aydins autumn

[night canyon]

so? should i just disable aydin's ?

[austere saddle]

It also has Aydin's grass and maybe trees built in too iirc

Depends what you're after

IF you just want an autumn feel then all you'll need enabled is Adega

[night canyon]

mainly autumn so if adega has autumn already included should i just completely disable aydins?

[lilac girder]

You can if you want. This is all preferences my man

[austere saddle]

What he said ^

[night canyon]

aah okay, may i ask what you did?

[lilac girder]

Sure disable it completely and try just ADEGA

I have adyins autumn with ADEGA everything else

[abstract citrus]

Oooooh

[austere saddle]

I've personally got ADEGA textures and but with green grass by doing this https://i.imgur.com/i5ADoyh.png

[abstract citrus]

these are green'ish as adega is orange'ish

[lilac girder]

Yea. You’d have to right click and reinstall Aydins to get autumn. You can select any of the four seasons.

[night canyon]

wdym is adega's autumn more orange?

[abstract citrus]

im just glad i dont trees made out of chrome anymore

[night canyon]

so if mines like this i'll have autmn, but aydins autumn?

[abstract citrus]

that should be like this i believe

thats how i have it now

[night canyon]

is this with aydins autumn or adega's autumn?

[abstract citrus]

aydins i believe

[night canyon]

yeah idk how adega's autumn looks like

is it more green or more orange ?

[lilac girder]

Both are brown/orange

[abstract citrus]

aydins more "green'ish" if that makes sense

[lilac girder]

But slightly greenish maybe

[night canyon]

aah, what's the difference then?
