╟🎑reshades

[dapper magnet]

Thanks though, I'm really struggling. I've been using the default atmosgamma reshade mostly

[mortal shuttle]

Oh I guess he removed them in his spring preset

[dapper magnet]

But even increasing gamma ingame, like, graphics gamma, not the modpack

It's just so dark

During daytime it's good, but even with higher gamma daytime is almost too bright

But anywhere that isn't 8AM-6PM is just so dark

[mortal shuttle]

what config file are you running (grading_warm, atmosr, etc.)?

[dapper magnet]

Early morning and evenings, the only thing that isn't so dark is the sky

[dapper magnet]

Just the default atmos

With the default settings, 5:30AM 5:30AM shouldn't be this dark? I can't see almost anything and I find myself using NVG's when it's daytime a lot of the time

I've increased it to about 1.15 gamma to try to help

But any higher and the daytime is just way brighter than i feel it's supposed to be

With gamma set to 1.15, any higher kinda ruins daytimes. Even this is too dark to me for what time it's supposed to be

Night times are just pitch black, i've tried changing the night setting but all that really seems to do is mildly increase the skybox brightness

Capa's reshade not only looked really nice, but also seemed to solve this for me by giving me a pretty image, and balanced day time/night time

But the performance hit is intense

I used to use Majestic Weathers and the reshade for that in my old custom load order on 1.5.1. And it looked amazing and ran good. But it seems that not only is it not updated anymore since december and won't really be compatible. Even using just the reshade file from it alone just... doesn't look right and getting a lot of banding

I assume in part because it's dependant on it's own weather and set up for old versions of enhanced shaders etc and SSS

(Would be nightmare for me personally trying to mod it into gamma anyway and the things I would have to try and work out to disable, reinstall, install etc just to get MWFX to play in gamma anyway even if it was up to date)

Anyone have any recommendations for reshades that look nice (even if slightly different look, I'm open to seeing it) but still farily light on the performance?

When I used to use MWFX I disabled the Radiant GI shaders and such to get the FPS back.

[honest robin]

[dapper magnet]

What's that?

[dapper magnet]

That looks really nice!

I really like Capa's reshade. It looks great, really balanced with not being too dark or anything. Just, the performance is a big oof for me

[honest robin]

tweaked capa's 👍

[dapper magnet]

Ohh damn, did you make it a little more lightweight?

[honest robin]

added a few more actually. i really haven't had the worst hit to performance since adding shaders

fps is ~90+ without and 65+ with

counting gun fights

[dapper magnet]

Yeah it runs a little worse but, it's a really really cool look. That DOF is not really usable for me in gameplay, but, i'll keep this around for screenshots maybe sometime thanks! Really cool look!

[honest robin]

yerrrrrr

[dapper magnet]

Though, you have given me an idea to use the eyeadaption shader to maybe help a little with my brightness issue. I've been using a slightly slightly edited atmosgamma preset. Would you and others recommend putting the eyeadaption shader near the start or end? Before or after most of the lighting affecting shaders like ambient light/ the bloom i'm using etc?

[honest robin]

i move the effects around until it feels right

[earnest prairie]

whats ur pc specs?

tried ur tweak but it gives me like 10 less fps than capa

[dapper magnet]

Yeah that’s what I’ve been doing, just wondering I guess if anyone knew there is an “objectively” best place to put something like that. Thanks though

[honest robin]

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9700K CPU @ 3.60GHz, 3600 Mhz

damm i got a r7 3700x 4.25ghz

and only get 45 fps

how u get 90

[honest robin]

could be that i play 1920x1080 with nvidia image scaling. idek if it's doin anything but the game is fine for me

[honest robin]

coming back to say that i get 90 w/out shaders. 65+ with

[earnest prairie]

o

yeah i play on 1440p

[wispy rapids]

nice edit I love it

[ebon forum]

where do you put the reshade file?

[ebon forum]

thanks im stupid how did i miss that

[bronze pine]

isnt it in modpack patches in the gamma folder?

i dont know either

[misty echo]

it is but it pulls from your bin folder

[bronze pine]

👍

[undone arch]

when i enable aggresor reshad i don’t see it in reshade

🤨

[wispy rapids]

check gamma overwrite

[undone arch]

how

[earnest prairie]

what does aggressor look like

[misty echo]

pic i took with agressor weather, reshade and grass

[wispy rapids]

open reshade options and check where its leading its file path to

[undone arch]

how

help

[wispy rapids]

click home

look at files path

[undone arch]

ok

[misty echo]

did you enable this?

[undone arch]

yes

[misty echo]

there is no reshade

its just weather and textures

[undone arch]

bruh

it says reshade

[misty echo]

its not a reshade

[undone arch]

ok

yes it is

[misty echo]

agressor is a reshade but there is no preset in this

lol

[undone arch]

sus

[misty echo]

this is agressor reshade

[rain saddle]

hope you dont mind me asking, but what scope is that?

[swift robin]

Can someone share atmosgamma default reshade settings?

[misty echo]

its in your gamma folder

[tiny stratus]

Any one has good shader settings?

[swift robin]

No, I mean settings in reshade menu for atmosgamma(effects included) . I changed some and wanna know default settings

[swift robin]

Thanks!

[old summit]

Hi all!
I am a beginner, please help me to make beautiful graphics. What do I need to include here?
My config:
ryzen 5600x
32gb ram 3733
radeon rx6600

[alpine otter]

Everyone has a different concept of beauty.

[old summit]

what is desirable, the main thing is not as dull as it is now

[alpine otter]

is this how you want it?

[old summit]

wow looks cool

[swift robin]

imho "agressive" reshade with cas+fxaa from link above your message look best in terms of realistism

[alpine otter]

Cas+lumasharpen+smaa

Nice for Fullhd

[swift robin]

I'll try your settings
And capa reshade

What's best effect to deal with aliasing on wires? In game aa don't work with thin wires

[alpine otter]

MAGIC HDR is very good if set up correctly

Fxaa+smaa in reshade

[swift robin]

thanks, aliasing is gone now. but i minus lumasherpen, on my side (2k) it gives some artifacts

[alpine otter]

Hm

Okay

Adaptivesharpen

I don't really like it, but you might like it

[swift robin]

It's fake hdr or different addon? I don't see it on list

[alpine otter]

this is an interesting hdr, but it is not there because the built-in terrible reshade goes into the gamma, where not everything is there and there are still artifacts

advice to delete the old one, download from the office. site and put all the checkboxes

[swift robin]

What's the best config you use?

[neon summit]

How do I enable the agressor reshade? in MO2 but do I have to disable a diff mod?

I was looking but i lost the conversation

[sick marlin]

guys, how i can enable aggressor reshade in the game? i enable it in MO, but i don`t see it in HOME-menu. I deleted r4 in shaders-cache, but it doesn't help me

[neon summit]

I think you have to disable another mod

[sick marlin]

22

[sick marlin]

what i need to disable?

[neon summit]

Im looking if you search agressor reshade in the search i found some anwsers

[neon summit]

Looks like that is only for the ground textures and the mod is on moddb with instuctions

theres a few posts with the mods you need to disable

[sick marlin]

ok, ty

[neon summit]

If you find the mod on moddb can you link it to me? I cant find it lol Im trying to turn it on too

just pm me it pls

[steady bramble]

This is beautiful. What settings is this and what frames you getting etc?

[gentle palm]

can someone send me these two shaders so i can try replacing them

Details:

[neon summit]

installed agressor and borked my game lol

[manic sage]

Atmos Beta

[neon summit]

what do you have enabled for atmos?

[manic sage]

Its an atmospherics update im working on

[neon summit]

Oh! looks stunning

from the shaders in the home settings what are the best preset? i tried a few but took a bad fps hit

[past shuttle]

the "best" shaders are what you like the most and give you the best performance on your rig! try atmosgamma or atmosfilm.

[neon summit]

I noticed i unchecked the "turn this on if you stutter" that may be on me

Thank you though

[past shuttle]

how much ram do you have?

[neon summit]

16 ddr4

[past shuttle]

at 32 gb ram i would have suggested to turn on meatchunks prefetcher in Mod Organizer.

[neon summit]

Im gonna do that I have a new cpu and ram coming in

[past shuttle]

perfect. what cpu?

[neon summit]

r7 5800x

current is r5 5600

[past shuttle]

ok. i think you will get some boost in fps. around 10 fps maybe.

hopefully more!

[neon summit]

yeah with no shaders and default list and nothing changed in the shader menu i get 100 -110 now!

[dire ginkgo]

Do reshades have the biggest performance hit out of anything

or grass

[neon summit]

in my experience reshade hit hard went from 100 to 40 but i aint no expert

also agressor reshade was what i tried

[swift robin]

tbf it depends on what features of reshade you are using

[patent edge]

How does R.A.W. compare to Aggressor and EXP?

[mortal tangle]

whats a good shader for making the zone look scarier than it already does

like just a really dark, dreary looking kinda vibe

[patent edge]

Dead Zone is incredibly depressing looking

[thick helm]

I use dead bushes swap specifically so I can partially see through them when npcs camp behind them

[mortal tangle]

ill check this out thanks

[alpine otter]

These are not the maximum settings and 80+ fps

[split vault]

where this goes

[misty echo]

reshade presets go in your bin folder

[steady bramble]

What’s the reshade settings you are using for this? Want to try and match it and see if it destroys my PC

[swift robin]

What exactly "turn this if you stutter do"?
I should i prefetch sound?
(32gb ram)

[misty echo]

afaik it lowers the ai switch distance

[wind gull]

Hi guys, I'm new to this Anomaly build, and I want to put myself a good reshade, or rather, configure it so that the graphics are incredibly beautiful and realistic, like a user under the nickname RAR, the hardware is quite powerful. RTX 3060 12 GB, 32 GB RAM, ryzen 5 5600.

[wind gull]

I want to like him in the second screenshot

[primal girder]

hi guys, what shader mod does gamma use for the beefs nvgs to work?

[wispy rapids]

Beef nvg

[primal girder]

umm i mean does it depend on other shader mod for it to work? cause i have it on, but its not really lighting up the environment during the night, even tho its on

[wispy rapids]

you can change its light by clicking N

when they are toggled on

[primal girder]

yea, just the brightness, but its like green filter, you know, not really a "night vision"

[wispy rapids]

that you can't change really

only can get other nvg visors to change them

[primal girder]

look this is an example, its the highest tier nvg

[wispy rapids]

yea

you don't get much variation

[primal girder]

no no no its not what i mean T_T, hang on let me try to find a comparison

[wispy rapids]

oh

you mean the night not lighting up

[primal girder]

yea

in this image, you can easily distinguise dark from light

[wispy rapids]

yea I see that now

[primal girder]

but mine is all dark

[wispy rapids]

maybe reinstall beef nvg

[primal girder]

hmmm, im gonna try that after i try deleteing shader cache

[jagged token]

dont beef's nvgs have brightness adjust? like you tap the night vision button again to cycle through brightness settings? is that not working?

[primal girder]

it does, but its worst if i turn up the brightness, its just like a whole blur

[jagged token]

🤷‍♂️

[austere raft]

Bit of a gloomy take on PhroZac's AreaX with much better performance (at least on my PC), used with the autumn grass and trees, increased the foggy weather to match the others.

Getting like 80-100fps in most areas with a 3070 and 5700x

[frigid hatch]

How do I exclude UI and menus from shaders?

[earnest prairie]

where do i get this?

or is it broken on dx10

[clear bear]

Bro I saw a screenshot and I can't seem to find it again, who posted this

I want to get my game to look more like this, and im unsure how to

[fading pasture]

What on earth. Does anyone know how I make my game look like this?

[misty echo]

turn on 20 different bloom filters

[solid lily]

this is why i hated expedition

it's just bloom, high contrast and saturation lmao

[misty echo]

yeah 2.2 prob the only half way decent version of EXP

[solid lily]

idek what expedition DOES

[hardy nest]

#╟📸screenshots message

[solid lily]

i've only ever gotten the freaking "graphical" pack

[misty echo]

nothing important really

was good for screenshots at the time

but Atmos so much better

[clear bear]

thanks!!! it looks so good Its the setting i want my game to look like

[hardy nest]

no problem dude 😄

[manic sage]

New weather sneak peak that might not make it into the beta atmos update. It's possible

[wispy rapids]

[steady bramble]

Stole your settings and added a little too it just to give the lighting a lil more of a kick... I quite like this thank you 😄

[austere raft]

Glad you like it man, recommend changing the trees and grass to autumn too for the gloomy feel. I can show you if you're not sure how to

In fact, you can just go to aydins grass in the mod organiser and reinstall it, then it'll will give you some options, just choose the autumn stuff

[neon summit]

anyone know why everytime i mess with the shaders my fps drops to 35-40 fps I am not gonna do it again though but i wish i could expirement more

[wispy rapids]

hey wanted to know, for the snow options on the exp and the one for like dark cloudy weather, do you need invernos for it to work, or will it work on just typical textures

[manic sage]

Will work for typical textures

#1036172060969410590 message once you get it set up spring should look like this

And autumn like the rest of my screen shots i posted

[wispy rapids]

so say its like this, I'd be chilling

[manic sage]

Yup that’s the set up if you don’t plan to use reshade

[wispy rapids]

bet

[alpine otter]

Its expedition

[wispy rapids]

looks great Hippo nice work

[still swift]

woah

[split vault]

i donk know anything about this, i should only but this archive in /anomaly/bin folder?

[thorn owl]

yes the .ini goes in bin/ folder along with the rest of the presets

[storm shard]

can i make my game look nice on dx9 without reshades?

[wind gull]

Hi guys, I want to install the most beautiful and wonderful reshade for Gamma, if there are any, throw off the files with the value of ini, and I will put the reshades right in my game, the computer is very powerful

[alpine otter]

You didn't like my reshade?

[storm shard]

what dx is that?

[steady bramble]

11e

[wind gull]

Bro, it's beautiful, but I don't understand why there is such a blue veil on the picture, as if it's cold, and I also look at the screenshots of the guys, they fill in their reshades, but after I put them, my picture doesn't become like theirs, I don't know what to do, I want to play with the juiciest graphics

where can i find good reshade settings; im using rtx 2060 and ryzen 5 5600x with 32gb ram

i want game to look good also with good preformance

[austere raft]

Can try mine, just scroll up a little

Also got some that are a little less taxing but not at my pc atm

just search in the searchbar: from: Capa and you will find it.

Can someone explain to me why my game looks like this

yeah this isn't right....

its just blessing of a blue tape :)

[mortal shuttle]

ah seems your stalker has entered the afterlife

[clear bear]

Well if it happens to anyone the fix is just a good old turn it on and off again

its not after labor day for that stalker

[somber parcel]

vomit filter

[turbid niche]

Borked install

[steady bramble]

Ok?

[restive whale]

Where do you put ini files and how do you backup your settings?

Before i try new reshades

[mortal shuttle]

reshade .inis go into your bin folder, your settings are saved to your user.ltx in the appdata folder (back it up, it gets overwritten when updating gamma), you can also save your MCM changes from being overwritten by renaming the 'MCM values' mod in MO2

[grizzled sedge]

How can I make dx9 look better? Been using the default gamma reshade cause I find the other presets that came with gamma has too much DOF and sometimes screws with my reticle while in red dots or eotechs really wanna make dx9 look good without sacrificing too much performance, running smoothly on 60-90 fps right now with default settings and default gamma shaders with dx9

[restive whale]

buy new pc

[grizzled sedge]

yeah already have plans for that but sadly on a third world country where everything's gotta cost an arm and a leg

[cunning thistle]

i think he's trying to say it's too saturated.. not everyone has the appropriate nuance and vocabulary

[somber parcel]

green vomit filter

[zenith ore]

Helluh there
I'm comin in here cuz i can't get to have the sliders to edit an effecte on a reshade

like clicking the effect only toggles it

i can't edit its properties

[mortal shuttle]

Do you have performance mode ticked in the bottom right? If so turn it off

[zenith ore]

thats right im dumb!

thx bud

[mortal shuttle]

[grizzled sedge]

whats a good reshade for inverno? also do the grass texture really look like that in inverno? i installed the frozen grass option in the FOMOD but i dont think it made a difference

[wide robin]

What pkm is that???

[alpine otter]

It's in expedition

[wide robin]

is it compatible with gamma?

[alpine otter]

No, it's a different set of mods.

[wide robin]

ok

[mortal shuttle]

It's from BaS 2022, there's a guide on how to properly install it for gamma in https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1036086143923536055

[calm matrix]

hello, what are the best visual settings for the game? i maxed out all the settings but the game looks really blurry now

[tired steppe]

Ukraine is "fucking cold" tho innit?

[mortal shuttle]

Turn off SMAA and anti aliasing, and I'd recommend leaving the game at its default settings that come with Gamma, it looks no different than maxed out settings and it'll run a whole lot better

The real big changes to visual quality are done with reshades and weather mods, I highly recommend #1036172060969410590's new 1.9 update w/ Aydin's spring foliage

[gray plank]

what does reshade on and reshade off look like?

going off of the default reshade settings

[orchid basin]

You can also try GPU sharpening.
Some like it, others does not.
Check it yourself. 15/20 % should be enough.
Rendering distance max out maybe if you don't like rendering on sight. Thats the most noticable change exepct grass in these wierd settings

[winter cloud]

Hello gents, when i start GAMMA there's a message on the top left of the screen saying i need to update Reshade to 5.8.0

I downloaded the exe file but i don't know where i'm supposed to install it, and on youtube there's only a tutorial for the old zip way of updating it

[orchid basin]

There is no need to do that.

[winter cloud]

OK glad to know thx

[brave nymph]

So beautiful! I want this

[fair bolt]

nice

[azure fable]

Anyone have any reshade opinions for someone who's cpu bound but running the prepatcher and stutter fix? Ive been play AtmosR+++ and I have around 30-60 frames but I really really want to be above 60 at all times since I've been having troubles with gunfights due to frames. Any tips would be appreciated : )

[somber parcel]

you could try removed grass mod from moddb

[mortal shuttle]

Inverno already has no grass

[shadow herald]

I use cold color grading from Enhanced Shaders, although i play in latefall

[primal gulch]

Hey guys i wanted to ask how to change the spring season like shader in game?

[fierce valve]

hello i'm having a weird problem with foggy 2, as soon as i press the play key from debug weather menu seems like amb and hemi turns crazy, the worst thing is this is the look that foggy 2 has when i'm playing normally, the thing is the weather looks normal when i pick it on debug weather menu but as soon as i play the play the values turns crazy and image looks bad, exactly how it seems on my normal game

[visual hearth]

Did you change the time in debug?

[fierce valve]

no i didn't touch the time

i just pick the foggy 2 weather and looks good, after that i press the play button and it fucks up

sadly that is how it looks on normal game instead of how it looks just after press foggy 2 weather on debug menu

[swift robin]

Like a total goof, I was messing with Reshade options in game, and totally mucked up Atmos.ini - Where can I find the default version of this .ini file so I can restore it. I have a backup of everything for a default Anomaly + GAMMA installation.

I am not at all familiar with Reshade, and this is my first gaming experience in using it.

[mortal shuttle]

All of the downloads are backed up and stored in your GAMMA/downloads folder, find the latest atmospherics .7z (1.84.5) and grab the default reshade presets from 02 - [OPTIONAL] RESHADE - Atmos Reshade Presets

[swift robin]

Thank you! It means the world to me that there are great people to help simple minded dunces like me navigate new technology.

b/c this is untenable.

THANK YOU! Problem solved.

[mortal shuttle]

[swift robin]

I need to learn to use this program. I am in the process of building an arcade cab, and am at a standstill in deciding if I go with a traditional tube or LCD. I think some of the CRT shaders with a bit of tweaking could save me 100+ pounds and a few square feet of space by using an LCD....not to mention getting some sort of quality downscaler, but that is a discussion for elsewhere. Again, thanks everyone!

[restive whale]

Guys how much fps you get with hippos shaders? Im using rtx 2060 and ryzen 5 5600x, 32 gb ram

[mortal shuttle]

120-144

[misty echo]

shit, like 40-80 depending on where im at or whats going on

[orchid basin]

Once in the past i had in my game some upgraded expolsions.. flying particles, shockwaves and stuff. I wonder how it happend when i didnt instal any mod responsible for that. Is reshade able to do that?

[mortal shuttle]

No

[orchid basin]

Thats even more interesting then

[orchid basin]

depends on your resolution

[misty echo]

yeah, reshade isnt the reason for the poor preformance lol

prob has to do with stacking 380 mods on top of a game that uses 1 core of your cpu

[swift robin]

not only that

also game settings

if you put grass on max, I swear

[thorn owl]

I'm GPU bound and at 1080p I get 110-130, average 120 without ReShade, and anywhere from 70-100 average 90 with a tweaked Capa's Autumn preset

it's closer to 70 with high grass settings, but I usually play at low density for a smoother ~110

[swift robin]

some features of reshade can really affect your performance

also some features from sss

[thorn owl]

yeah the ReShade statistics tab is good for seeing which shaders are most performance hungry

[orchid basin]

Vodka infused engine.

[misty echo]

legit using atmosr+ crashes my gpu

lol

[grizzled sedge]

how do i use color grading?

[orchid basin]

Im dumb..
Switch shadows to 4k then wonder where did you fps go 💀
Imagine actually playing the game than fckn around with settings

[digital oxide]

type this in console: cfg_load grading_cold

can replace cold with default, vanilla and warm

[shadow herald]

In enhanced shaders addon, theres "color grading" options, copy them to your "appdata"

in game console type

"cfg_load (the preset you want)"

[grizzled sedge]

where can i find the options? the mod folder?

[shadow herald]

Yes, in Enhanced shaders addon, inside one of the folders

[frigid trellis]

wich mod is the one that you can reinstall in the MO2 to select other tree and grass colours

[sage lichen]

any good presets that improve visual clarity? i can't always see enemies far away

currently using the default AtmosGAMMA

[frigid trellis]

somehow i lost all the reshade presets and it looks like this i looked through abunch of files but couldnt find them dont mind the private folder its empty

[thorn owl]

change the directory to Anomaly\bin

[frosty plank]

I ticked Delete Reshade DLLs when I did a reinstall. Now I can even open the shaders options with the home key? Any help fixing this fuck up would be very much welcome my eyes cant handle no shaders please and thank you

[thorn owl]

that option deletes ReShade which is the Home key menu, reinstall with that option unticked

[frosty plank]

Ohhhh gotcha will do thanks 🙂

[hollow gyro]

Getting this striping in distant fog. Using Capas spring reshade, anyone know if there is a fix for this?

[frigid trellis]

will do

[rotund palm]

Can you help me? I can't get my game to look anywhere like this

[mortal shuttle]

What does your game currently look like?

[misty echo]

crank graphical settings up high, use atmosr+ and install autumn textures and that should be pretty damn close

[rotund palm]

Im giving up haha, thanks for the help but ive done so much tweaking that my game is pitch black and only flickers with lightning

[misty echo]

i run pretty low game settings and use atmosGAMMA and get really good results

[rotund palm]

that looks way better than mine did, maybe it was the autumn textures but for tonight im done

[neon summit]

any shaders or any change kills my fps I wish i could get mine to look like that

[misty echo]

its just stock atmospherics installed with gamma

nothing special

[neon summit]

what are your grass settings

[misty echo]

iirc that 0.7 on the size, 110 render and max density -9

so max the density and do 9 bumps to the left

could be 0.6 on the size

and its 1080p so really nothing special

lol

oh and r__saturation at 1.15 instead of 1.05

[neon summit]

Thanks!

[misty echo]

also i use these trees and aydin autumn grass instead of ADEGA cause it dumpsters preformance

Anyone got a good settings guide for making the game look as good as possible

[orchid basin]

Are Nvidia enchance settings effective?
Does it look better?
Triple buffering?
Anisotropic filtering?

If anyone want to tell me to try it..
Dont.
I already did, just cant tell the difference in visuals and performance which makes me wonder if im doing it right.

[misty echo]

i cant see much of a difference either

and as far as making the game look as good as possible, looks are subjective

maybe explain what you are going for

[orchid basin]

Want to use every tool aviable to make my game look better.
Simple as that.

[misty echo]

i was mostly talking to bagel with the second and third sentence

[orchid basin]

Trees and grass

[misty echo]

to you i was just saying that i do see much of a difference when i use the nvidia settings

so i just dont use them

if you want the crispiest image possible gonna need a higher res monitor or upscale

when it comes to grass aydins is prob the best

or at least the best ive seen

[orchid basin]

2k already with 3060ti

[misty echo]

well what does it look like now...your game that is

[orchid basin]

No point with dsr i assume

[misty echo]

if you're already at 2k prob not

[orchid basin]

I was using 20% Nvidia sharpening but now i turned it to 10%

[misty echo]

aydins grass and trees just look best to me plus no shimmering so i dont have to tank frames using reshade to try and fix it

[orchid basin]

@misty echo

[orchid basin]

Im already using his Summer preset

[misty echo]

kinda hard to tell whats going on in the images cause of the weathers

[orchid basin]

Clear?
What time?

[misty echo]

12 or 13 prob

clear is good

[orchid basin]

Ok.
When i be back at my pc im gonna send some

[hollow gyro]

Press / to turn on the minimap, very useful I think

[frigid trellis]

if i mess with shader presets how can i undo changes

[weary saddle]

congrats on resetting out counter of days without post-emission screenshots back to 0

[frigid trellis]

and also if you will notice the trees look ASS not because of no leaves i have the winter trees and grass but they look so pixely between the branches and stuff i have antialiasing ingame and in the nvidia contorl pannel both are 4x

[orchid basin]

Yall just cant, right?
Out of context too.
Lmao

[sage lichen]

anyone got a reshade that improves visual clarity? using the default preset AtmosGAMMA. is it okay to turn off chromatic abberation? or is there another preset that works better?

[weary saddle]

@sage lichen depends on what's your idea of clarity
sharpness filters can help, disabling dof and chromatic aberration can help, enabling unsharp.fx can have useful or harmful results

[sage lichen]

just being able to see enemy stalkers a bit clearer. i can't always see them when theyre right next to a bush

i have to wait for their muzzle flash usually and that tends to get me shot

[thorn owl]

Are you playing at 1080p? Unfortunately shimmering is something you’ll have to live with. AA in game and through NVCP are both busted and seem to just eat up frames in my experience

SMAA ultra in game smoothens it a little bit and is very light on performance. But anything other than DSR downscaling doesn’t seem very effective

[thorn owl]

If you have auto save off in ReShade you can click a little undo button in the top right of the menu

Otherwise you’ll need to get the original preset ini files from somewhere in the GAMMA directory or the Atmospherics mod folder

[dire ginkgo]

I think it'll always be pixely, the xray engine is so old that it's just like that. Will probs be improved at some point through mods tho.

[swift robin]

Hi, could you recommend any of the default presets?

[orchid basin]

@misty echo does it shows now?

[misty echo]

that already looks really good, idk how much better you can make it look.

4k thats about it

[orchid basin]

Fair.

[mortal shuttle]

looks great

[cerulean shell]

Hi, how to update/reinstall reshade?
It is looking for exes(dx11-dx8), but they are in 3 places simultaneously, in anomaly and gamma two times
Reshade 5.9 dropped)
And there are new fx available, or abcent by default
There are reshade files stored, that actually take effect?

[frigid trellis]

can someone reccomend me theyre favorite reshade settings?

[misty echo]

for gamma i like the regular atmos preset. low impact, clean and no bullshit

[latent temple]

whats the resahde

[orchid basin]

"Areax further edit" with effect that makes things darker i like it personalny Its from @woeful oracle . He said to turn it off but its wierd without it now 🤣
Cfg atmosR

[latent temple]

thanks!

[ebon forum]

Where do you donwload reshades? i cant find it online

[orchid basin]

@ebon forum When youre in the game press HOME

You have there few of them.
For example:
Atmos R
Atmos gamma
Areax

[valid forge]

What are you doing that you have such a juicy picture in your game?

[orchid basin]

I will share with setts when i come back to my pc

Basicaly its reshade, basic setts and resolution

[orchid basin]

None is my work i just put stuff together to make it look good ( in my opinion )My resolution is 2560x1440. Basic light settings: gamma 1, saturation 1.3 brightness 1. Im using @manic sage 1.9 Atmospheric which you can find here - pinned.https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1036172060969410590 Here's the reshade im using with Cfg_load atmosR I got it from @woeful oracleThanks mate once again 🥃 Drop it in GAMMA> mods> atmospheric> bin ( under HOME you can find path which your game is using for reshades) If you press HOME and scroll down you'll find FGFX effect. You can have it on or off to your liking. I have it on. Adds more depth in my opinion but for some ppl it may be too dark. Here some SS. Darker is with fgfx, brighter is without fgfx. Also im using Nvidia sharpening 10%. The rest advanced setts is mostly basic just few tweaks. I recommend turning AIMING DOF off in SSS. You just cant see shit while aiming. Weapon DOF is on, its adds some spice. Trees and Grass is Aydin Summer preset with console 0.35, 0.8, and -0.5 as its recommended below preset. Mostly idk what im doing and probably can be done better. Glad you like it. Enjoy.

[valid forge]

Oh thank u

[valid forge]

Do I understand correctly that it is not necessary to install Atmospherics 1.9? Because it is already installed by default in Gamma.

[orchid basin]

Its not. gamma has older version. Hippo is madlad and updates it constantly, now hes chill with it tho. I miss hourly updates You can download new version put in in mod menager below default one and turn it on, default turn off. You can check whats new in patch notes, he put in pinned.

You changed your mind with that question ?

[valid forge]

ye)))

[daring narwhal]

u gotta post this reshade i need it

[valid forge]

noice

How i can fix that?)

[orchid basin]

Thats beyond my knowledge . How does this happened? After you did something with reshade? Or without it randomly

[orchid basin]

i already did. Above

[valid forge]

When i try load my last save

[dull stratus]

Finally got my graphics settings how I like em

[orchid basin]

nice try

I wanted order colection but you know.. we dont know shit about that game

[orchid basin]

did you changed something with mod list?

[dull stratus]

My hopes are low. But I could be suprised.

[valid forge]

Wait.. now that shit loaded

[woeful oracle]

Genuinely had me for a second…

I feel so dumb lol

[orchid basin]

Mine too. Lets hope they know what community wants and they will deliver.

[dull stratus]

Anomaly 2? 😄

[orchid basin]

They just need to observe what tf community is doing with their games and thats it. Make better AUTHENTIC world with better engine and write a good story.

[woeful oracle]

MOST of the community probably wants something more like CoP 2

A lot of new fans want anomaly 2

[orchid basin]

what i know is that we deff dont want liner, flat pew pew game. They just need to observe. Community gave them shit ton of inspiration. If they will fck it up ,.. I dont even know how could you possibly fck it up.

[orchid basin]

is it working?

[valid forge]

Yes

i think now.. i have your presets

[orchid basin]

press home and show

[orchid basin]

yep

kinda bright AF 😛

[valid forge]

where i can change?

[orchid basin]

basic light settings? in settings?

how they look like?

[valid forge]

ah.. u about this)

now.. thats look like very good

[orchid basin]

damn. it does

these black stripes adds some cinematic vibe 😄

you have fgfx on?

[valid forge]

yep

[orchid basin]

which cfg?

you typed these in console?

0.35, 0.8, -0.5

[valid forge]

I dont touch that 😅

[orchid basin]

just type it in console 😛

[valid forge]

Complete!)

[orchid basin]

happy with what you got?

[valid forge]

Ye.. really thank you:)

[orchid basin]

Perfect

[valid forge]

Too bad it's unplayable with black stripes

[orchid basin]

yea but you can get some sick SS

really like this one. frame could be better tho

i need to finally play the game Next week Bladur 3 is out so it might be unachievable. 1k hours easy..

[thorn owl]

I want SoC 2

If they can recreate the SoC atmosphere with updated game mechanics from CoP + UE5 improvements, that's all I need

[swift robin]

why is the dirt wet

[orchid basin]

it was raining. i turned rain for a while then reloaded save. wet ground remained.

around that campfire puddles are spawning when its raining.

[lethal urchin]

Has anyone had any success using the RTGI shader in this game?

I tried using it within Reshade on AC Origins and it basically halved my framerate, even on a 2080

but I'm still curious to see screenies if anyone's managed to get it integrated - I imagine it could look noice if configured properly on sufficiently capable hardware 🙂

[mortal shuttle]

i don't think it's worth the performance impact

there are a few people who use it in this discord, just search rtgi in the search bar

looking at some of the screenshots, the effects are pretty negligible and could be accomplished with other not-so-taxing reshade effects

[lethal urchin]

Hmm that wouldn't surprise me

Sometimes I feel like rayshading was a huge nVidia marketing campaign (i.e. just another "PhysX" if anyone remembers that fad), yet I see screenshots from a couple games with rayshading (like Minecraft) now and then that make me think otherwise. I'm definitely on the fence.

[thorn owl]

I mean raytracing built into games like Metro Exodus, Cyberpunk, Minecraft, etc. will look better and be more performance friendly than a shader injected into an already old engine, especially with a dedicated RT compatible GPU

an alternative I would recommend for ReShade is some sort of HDR shader like BloomingHDR and a GI shader like Glamarye's Fake GI to get 90% of the visuals of SSRTGI without the massive performance hit

[steady steppe]

Just posted in #╟📸screenshots my results with RTGI, not too much of a pain to setup. Also did a few tweaks on top of the default AtmosFILM GAMMA preset to balance things out a bit better. Same as above though - unless you have a beefy PC, the performance hit is about 20 - 30 frames. It hurts a bit to barely maintain a good 60, but the extra bounce light and AO contribution really sells the experience. The sunlight really feels warm

[gloomy basin]

Anyway to make bushes and stuff look less blocky

Might be hard to see in that sc actually, but to clarify they are just kinda flickery and blocky when moving

[steady steppe]

You can lower the texture mip bias in the graphics settings, that'll reduce the sharpness a little bit and give it a bit more of an anti-aliased look

I can't find much as an addition to anomaly that actually adjusts foliage meshes - it's all mainly texture replacements unfortunately

[gloomy basin]

That did help thanks, made them look more like thin bushes rather than blocky messes

may be a dumb question, but when should I not use/use SMAA? not well versed in reshade so not sure if an effect I have on will be doing its job already

Or is it best to use Nvidias Anti-aliasing? in the control panel

[thorn owl]

In my experience SMAA ultra has a negligible performance impact and does an okay job for foliage jagged edges

In game AA does barely anything even at 8x but hits hard. And driver level AA 8x via NVCP was the same

[neon gate]

so im really ignorant and scared of shaders, is it worth messing with after 0.9 gave us hippos? Is there anything I have to change to "enable" hippos reshade or should everything be working already?

[steady steppe]

Pretty sure it's native to .9

[swift robin]

got some issues with aliasing in the distance, like the edges of tree leaves, etc. I got the AtmosR reshade with the immersive AA but I still get quiet some aliasing

[mortal shuttle]

Yep, 1080p problem, only way to get rid of or reduce aliasing effectively in x-ray is higher resolutions

[fresh sparrow]

Hey guys! I'm sure this is asked a lot, but is there a commonly shared file of the best reshade settings?

[weary saddle]

"best" is subjective and very much depends on both your preferences and your specs

[fresh sparrow]

Right. Just didn't know if there was a popular file or not.

[weary saddle]

what gamma ships with is.. fine if you can afford the performance costs

[misty echo]

theres like 50 presets in gamma, should be something in there to fit your needs

[fresh sparrow]

Wow... I'll have to look into the presets, that's dope. Thank you guys

[slender barn]

Whats a good, Reshade that just give a real atmosphere to the weather... No fantasy feelings just really good weather, So the environment give more feeling

[swift robin]

Ah, got it. Btw, should I use the ingame AA or just disable it completely?

[misty echo]

i just use atmos preset

looks fine to me

[slender barn]

Yea bet, Is it also dark at night like pitch black you ain't seeing nothing

[mortal shuttle]

I run 1440p, no SMAA or AA but I have immerse AA on

[swift robin]

alright. I heard a lot of people saying that the ingame AA does nothing besides tanking your performance

[mortal shuttle]

yeah, they're correct

it's horrible

since your on 1080p, you can try multiple reshade AA options

[swift robin]

yeah, I already got immerse AA on, will also try FXAA, TA etc from reshade

[slender barn]

Hey apollo bro, you wouldn't be able to give a summary on which Reshade effects run/look better over the ingame options

[mortal shuttle]

some people run immerse AA with TFAA and say it looks good

[slender barn]

Like how the AA ingame just tanks, is that with alot of the options or just AA

And which ones would be better to use with a reshade

[mortal shuttle]

I'd say mostly AA, but some reshade AO effects look good like immerse MXAO and doesn't impact performance that much

If you run atmos 1.9, try out the AtmosR+ preset, it has immerse AA +AO on by default and looks good

The version of atmos included in gamma might also have AtmosR+ with those effects, don't know for sure though

[slender barn]

would i already have these presets?

[mortal shuttle]

Yes

[slender barn]

I don't have 1.9 but i do have R+

[mortal shuttle]

If you enable it, do you see any effects named 'iMMERSE'?

[slender barn]

No i don't :/

[mortal shuttle]

okay so those must only come with atmos 1.9 beta

[slender barn]

Ambientlight, Deband, and Levels are enabled

[mortal shuttle]

#1036172060969410590 has it pinned in there if you wanna give it a shot

[slender barn]

hell yea, doing HC runs so trying to find a good immersive reshade

to give that dreading feeling, of this sucks i don't want to die and if i die gg

[mortal shuttle]

if you install it, make sure to check the optional reshade presets

[slender barn]

Ez

[mortal shuttle]

I also highly recommend the phrozac presets that also come optional

They give a really dark gritty feeling with a slightly bigger performance impact but the visuals are so worth it

[slender barn]

Trying to get good perf and atmospherics, Phrozac do that

Fair i get about 100fps in rookie village right now

[mortal shuttle]

If you can afford to lose like 5-10 fps, try out phrozacs

[slender barn]

120-150 out and about, but the bench i use us rostok if i sit around 60 there big smiles

Yea ill run to rostok and play around with it

Legend

[mortal shuttle]

Godspeed

🫡

[slender barn]

[mortal shuttle]

[thorn owl]

The Mangun effect

[slender barn]

MXAO If i use this btw, i should turn off SSAO in engine?

[mortal shuttle]

nah

if it can give you some performance, maybe, I tried turning it off last night and honestly didn't see much of a difference visually and performance wise

[slender barn]

Yea fair, ill just have a fiddle see what happens

Ill put what i find in screenshots ,get sick views

Probably nothing new, still looks crazy to me sometimes though

[thorn owl]

Keep SSDO on, SSS uses it for its own screen space shadows and AO effects

[fresh sparrow]

Is there a big idiot dumb dumb way to install the Atmo 1.9?

[thorn owl]

MXAO via ReShade is good but the performance and bleed through menus was not preferable

I’ve been using HBAO mod so far it’s been great https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/hbao

[slender barn]

Good fps etc?

[mortal shuttle]

Just install it using MO2, check the first two checkboxes that pop up and the atmos reshades checkbox, turn off the old atmospherics, and done

[slender barn]

no install guide in this folder btw, what do

[fresh sparrow]

oh wow

🙏

[mortal shuttle]

Follow what I just wrote plane

[fresh sparrow]

bless you

[mortal shuttle]

Make sure to delete your shader cache

[slender barn]

Yea legit the timing xD

Ez

[mortal shuttle]

Yeah, it can provide a nice subtle effect for a minor performance impact, but for more intense AO it gets too demanding and it menu bleed through definitely is annoying sometimes

I'll have to give that hbao add-on a try

Sometimes I wish stalker had ENB support so menus could be left untouched

[slender barn]

I did accidentally launch before deleting the shaders cache

But is this a issue or

[half lake]

Anyone see this?

https://github.com/themrdemonized/STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes/blob/main/README.md?plain=1#L171

Changelog

2023.07.24
Reshade shaders won't affect UI, full addon support version of Reshade is required

So hyped

[mortal shuttle]

Yes, replace the reshade-shaders folder with the one from the archive and delete shader cache

[slender barn]

ez

4th and 5th?

Wait which archive?

@mortal shuttle

[mortal shuttle]

That archive

[slender barn]

Yea but which one in it, the one that is being used? "Atmos"?

I just did it and it's still had errors

Not sure hey lol

[mortal shuttle]

Sorry I'm at work and my boss was standing right across from me

[swift robin]

literally the definition of a chad

my man be helping us out big time while he's at work

[mortal shuttle]

There should be a folder in that second folder called reshade-shaders, drag it from there and replace your current reshade-shaders (inside Anomaly/appdata) folder with it.

[mortal shuttle]

Gotta pass the time somehow

[swift robin]

i know what you mean :)) I'

I'm currently at work myself

but I'm still tweaking the hell out of gamma

[slender barn]

Bet 😛

[mortal shuttle]

If it doesn't work, reinstall with a fresh atmospherics 1.9 download

Make sure to clear your shader-cache!!

[swift robin]

got it to look like i wanted but now the mouse stutters randomly in the menu smh

[slender barn]

Ill just reinst

😛

[swift robin]

xray engine is literally the tower of duct tape

[slender barn]

more immersive

[swift robin]

but hey, gotta appreciate the fact it actually runs with 380 mods

[slender barn]

yea look its still not liking it

[swift robin]

anyway tho, anybody having issues with mouse stutter in the menu?

[swift robin]

should have said 'almost runs'

[slender barn]

xD

"Unrecognized Property: "AddressU""

!shaders

[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.

[swift robin]

thanks man, good bot!

[slender barn]

xD but really are these few important because i can't get them to compile

[swift robin]

yeah, they kinda are from what I know

[slender barn]

you got any ideas?

[swift robin]

did you delete the reshade dlls by mistake?

[slender barn]

nah i've reinstalled it like 4 times etc, only thing i've deleted is the shaders cache everytime i've reinstalled it

[swift robin]

and this has only been happening since you tried to instal Atmos 1.9?

[slender barn]

Ya

[swift robin]

damn

did you try installing it throug mo2?

[slender barn]

Using Mo2

[swift robin]

hmm

disable atmos 1.9 and try running with the old one again

and see if they compile then

'cause this way, we might be able to rule out an issue with reshade itself

hang on

[slender barn]

So confused, you're talking about

This is what 1.9 installed as

[swift robin]

did you change the priority of atmos 1.9?

[slender barn]

This is the winrar archive that installed that mod

So when you say 1.9 you mean this yea, just to be sure

[swift robin]

oh shit I got 1.8 atm, not 1.9

anyways hang on

try to change the priority in mo2

like

[slender barn]

Just gunna reinstall the whole thing and forget about it ina second ahahaha

The modpack xD

[swift robin]

so it looks something like this

[slender barn]

yea true

[swift robin]

'cause apollo pointed out some time earlier that the priority has to be changed

[swift robin]

what number does it have?

441?

on the far right

[slender barn]

447

[swift robin]

so remove any filters

scroll down until you see atmospherics gamma

also, sort the whole thing by priority

[swift robin]

and put it the way I have it

[slender barn]

How do i do that?

[swift robin]

use the little scroll bar on the bottom, above the filters line

scroll to the right

and you should see on the top now, next to version, "priority"

[slender barn]

Yea i found it, And you want it to be set to 441?

[swift robin]

yeah

but make sure that it's above screen space and ehanced shaders

and below gamma psi storms

[slender barn]

Ez

Launch now you reckon?

[swift robin]

ye

[slender barn]

PogW

I think it's duping the error states multiple of the same lines

[swift robin]

fuckin hell

could be an issue with Atmos 1.9

after all

imma try to install it as well in about 10 mins

see where i get to

[slender barn]

bruh i ain't got a fkin clue

gunna just delete this files

and replace

Its just these files

These won't compile

I've taken them out, idk if i can be fucked putting it back but wth

I could try getting it to compile but how do i force that

Legit just fucking removing these lines of code

and it's working, it's not red

😄

also completely ruining the file

possibly causing fires

things could be exploding

Well i can load the shaders now

These fkers and their "AddressU's" and shit

Dude they don't even get selected in the preset, fucking rabbit hole

and a half

Cyka

[swift robin]

Yep just installed atmos 1.9

No errors whatsoever

Also sss 16, but dunno if I installed it correctly tho, i did using mo2, just like atmos

[mortal shuttle]

I think some presets use the glamayre effects

[mortal shuttle]

As long as you chose the correct options while installing, like only getting one of the water shaders, not both

Also I'd recommend to download the newest demonized exes off github

[swift robin]

Yeah I did, but I saw just that you need the modified exes in order for all effects to work

[mortal shuttle]

They're included in gamma but they're like 4-5 months out of date

[swift robin]

Yeah I’ll sort them out

[slender barn]

Yea look those shaders weren't being utilized anyway, but i did decide to use two. How ever i got it to work be clearing the unrecognized lines

Not sure if it'll bug, about to find out

Yea running fine, not sure if the effects are working but nothing has caked it yet

"Its easier to destroy, than create"

It was a beta file, i probably just fixed it but fked if i know

[mortal shuttle]

They're definitely supposed to compile, some people have issues compiling reshade effects sometimes, no idea what causes it to happen

[slender barn]

Yea nahh they're working

They only need to "compile" if the preset is using them

otherwise they're just hanging

AtmosR+ used Glamayre, and i can turn that effect on and off now

and see it having an effect

So when i hovered over those failed files, it gave an error code... I just went to the file and opened it. What that error was, was saying there was a unrecognized line

And it quoted "AddressU" and another one for one of the other files

But 3 had the same lines in there

If it can't compile because of those lines, removing should theoretically work

and it has

"It just works"

-Todd howard

[fresh sparrow]

I stopped fucking with it

I'm lucky enough my monkey brain installed the game and I don't want to mess it all up lol

[slender barn]

I feel like it was a test

There was nothing directly involved with those lines, and yea it was just existing there

Those lines were probably added

Or perhaps its because there is an update to reshade... 5.9

Not sure how all this works didn't exactly oversee it get constructed, but yea one of the two

Like the client seems to unpack files and put it into mo2 then mo2 just takes care of it all, and the person who created the client is just a legend who's specifically found a nice playstyle in a mod and made it all accessible

mo2 should handle everything else, and you should be able to rely on the errors it gives

used it for skyrim an shit but it's come a decent way

to put it brashly, if a file exists to download there is no fault in tinkering if it's as easy to replace as just redownloading it

sorry i have a missing key the letter M if i can type without it i do, but i end up looking like a fucking professor

and yea there was an error, so i just chased the lead and took care of it no real risk and it worked... if anyone needed inspiration with fixing things

hope that helps xD

[thick helm]

where am I supposed to stick these shaders into

I did it once but I forgot

[slender barn]

where are they to begin with? In a rar, folder, etc

and which shaders

[mortal shuttle]

[slender barn]

[thick helm]

https://tenor.com/view/man-standing-gif-20655812

[mortal shuttle]

[slender barn]

He waitin for answers

Which shaders @thick helm

[thick helm]

I'm doing capa's

so I already have the files, I just need to chuck them somewhere

[slender barn]

Can i see the folder?

After it's opened

use the snipping tool in windows and after capturing an area, crtl v it here

Like idk what to tell you with out seeing it first

[mortal shuttle]

Drop the two reshade effects into your reshade-shaders folder, then drop the preset itself into your bin folder

[thick helm]

right

[cerulean folio]

How do i remove the weird edging in phroZac Zone 79 reshade?

when i move the ammo count and stam bar gets washed out

its almost like the background is bleeding through my HUD

[misty echo]

huh, i dont get that

maybe cause im using aydins hud

idk

[cerulean folio]

weird. idk why mine just blends in

[misty echo]

idk if its cause im using atmos 1.9 beta

cause im using the same reshades that come stock with gamma

[cerulean folio]

i was just going to ask that, i am also using the reshade out of the box that comes with GAMMA

[misty echo]

yeah i didnt even tick the beta reshade options

just used the ones already in bin folder

i will try removing aydins hud and see if it happens

try unticking chromatic aberration or dof shader

i would just go down the list and untick one by one until you find the problematic filter

[cerulean folio]

yea thats the one thing i tried, i have Chromatic Aberration off

[misty echo]

yeah CA so ugly

idk why people use it

[cerulean folio]

Seems to be PPFX SSDO, But now i lose the cool blue/shadows.. lame

[nova wedge]

Try check if there is vignette effect on its maybe what you need edit or turn off 🙂 But not sure

[swift robin]

How does one get rid of the shitty fog from SSS 16?

i specifically did not select the fog option when installing

[mortal shuttle]

Cause atmospherics has it's own fog

if you want to get rid of the fog, change the fog density in the weather files within atmospherics

[stuck silo]

Im using project inverno with another mod that disables grass. Is there any possible way I can make it so that the snow is everywhere?

[mortal shuttle]

inverno already includes the no grass mod, that might be causing some issues

[stuck silo]

I see but my inverno does not disable grass by default. I dont know what to do

[mortal shuttle]

It should, you're messing up the installation somehow

[stuck silo]

how do you install it properly?

also, I dont know how to get the actual version of inverno since it has been removed from moddb. Some other person gave me a link to the file but I dont think its the version that is polished

[wispy rapids]

It is on moddb?

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/inverno-fx

its entire description IS its guide

you just read and follow along

also there is a inverno help mod-post in here too

#╟📸screenshots message
I've had a few people message me about my settings - it's default GAMMA with a tweaked Reshade AtmosFILM preset. I'm using RTGI which you can get from the creators patreon, but be aware it'll eat your frames quite a bit. Worth the expense imo cause it gives great bounce lighting so sunlight looks fantastic. I also toggle on Ambient Light on reshade as well to give a softer bloom look. No extra visual mods are installed

[daring narwhal]

Kk

[dire ginkgo]

Damn monitor colour settings make all the difference in making the game look better

[mortal shuttle]

They really do, I thought my game's graphics were fucked but it was just my monitor

[dire ginkgo]

fr i just changed from a colour preset called gamer 2 back to default and now it looks just right

[north skiff]

can someone help me please? already did the cfg_load grading warm but still game is too dark

[random compass]

The trees and some things have such a white veil, can you remove it so that it looks normal without this white veil?

[sage harbor]

How do I make my game look like this at night? Bcs rn its very dark and I want it to be brighter.

[rose helm]

Looks decent

[lean nebula]

qUINT_rtgi or something else?

[sage harbor]

???

[lean nebula]

that light is probably coming from lightning strikes

since it appears an emission has recently ended

@sage harbor

[random mirage]

^^ Deffo lightening

[naive portal]

is there any guide for agressor reshade + textures? i downloaded it and the reshade is working, the textures arent tho

i activated it in MO and placed it on last order but it doenst do anything

[steady steppe]

Out atm but yeah, I believe that's the one

[lethal urchin]

What do you guys use for anti-aliasing?
I've disabled the in-game settings AA/SMAA. Using (in ReShade) SMAA with a very light touch of FXAA. It looks pretty decent overall. But I'm wondering what other people use as their preferred form of AA, with consideration to minimal performance impact, image clarity & minimal UI fuckery

[mortal shuttle]

immerse antialiasing by marty

it's enough for me as i'm playing at 1440p but some people combine it with tfaa for lower resolutions

[alpine otter]

DLAA

[thorn owl]

In-game SMAA ultra, MIP bias 0, 1080p

I’ve been experimenting with ReShade AA but haven’t settled on one

[rose helm]

Custom phroZac_Poison reshade with A.D.E.G.A.

[rugged citrus]

Im donwsampling from 5K in lieu of AA, only problem is reshade font is so tiny.

[kind rock]

should i update the reshade?

it keeps telling me to update it on gamma launch

[misty echo]

naah, just ignore it

[kind rock]

but i heard you get more fps if you do

alright though

[misty echo]

No shot, Really?

news to me

[kind rock]

i heard from somebody in the server you get more presets to make the game prettier as well

[rose helm]

You can read update notes on the developer website to check if there's performance optimizations.

Anyway, updating reshade is very easy and will not break anything.

[thorn owl]

Latest modded exes also have support for ReShade excluding UI elements but I haven’t tried yet

[mortal shuttle]

no way

that's a pretty big incentive to update reshade

[misty echo]

hell yeah, now you can stack 1000 bloom filters

[mortal shuttle]

adding 10 LUTs to my game as we speak

[dire ginkgo]

What’s this rtgi I keep seeing people use to enhance their game

[ember prawn]

Hey guys, I'm using a translator.
Please tell me what kind of reshade is on the screenshot. If you have a set, please send it off. And where should I put this set?

[honest robin]

feels a bit like an intro to a skate part

[mortal shuttle]

For those updating their demonized .exes and ReShade to 5.9.0; two shaders called 'qUINT_ssr' and 'Glamayre_fast_effects' will not compile due to 'unknown property AddressU', which is caused by ReShade 5.9.0. Download and drop these into your GAMMA\mods\290- Atmospherics Shaders Weathers and Reshade - Hippobot\bin\reshade-shaders and they shouldn't have problems compiling.

[north skiff]

does anyone know what modpack does this issue comes from? It seems that BAS weapon icons is not displaying correctly.

[mortal shuttle]

1. You're clearly not using Gamma, 2. this is not the correct channel, use https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/928715640968212582 instead but if I'm not mistaken that's EFP

[north skiff]

thank you ill ask redirect all my concerns next time in the correct channel.

[mortal shuttle]

you're good bro

[mortal shuttle]

it's a reshade effect by Marty that simulates ray traced global illumination https://www.martysmods.com/rtgi/

[dire ginkgo]

thanks

[thick helm]

how do I turn down this contrast and bloom, I followed what you said @mint owl

[silver epoch]

Looks like there's also a (minor) problem with newer ReShade versions: https://github.com/themrdemonized/STALKER-Anomaly-modded-exes#troubleshooting
Nothing game breaking but good to know )

[thorn owl]

So you could stay with 5.7.0 but would need to change/sidegrade to the addon version

[mint owl]

What effects do you have active in Reshade ?

[mint owl]

What you need is lower the black level in curved levels and lower the bloom in blooming hdr I think

[regal inlet]

Enhanced Shaders and Screen Space Shaders

[mortal shuttle]

Oh nice, I was under the impression that you needed the latest reshade to get the newest .exe features

that's one headache i could've spared myself

[thorn owl]

How are the latest changes tho? Does it effectively block UI elements?

Some said performance improvements with 5.9.0, anything noticeable?

[mortal shuttle]

yeah, nothing affects the UI anymore it's great, as for performance i still have yet to thoroughly test it

i felt like i had more frames in the same areas but may have just been placebo

just went back down to 5.7.0 so we'll see

just switched between the two, same fps, if anything 5.9.0 fluctuates more

standing in the same spot at the same time, same weather, same save, i definitely get a higher and more stable fps on 5.7.0

[thorn owl]

Is that with the addon version for 5.7.0

[mortal shuttle]

yes

[dire ginkgo]

i gotta go back to 5.7.0 i get shader compile errors

[mortal shuttle]

quint ssr and glamayre?

[dire ginkgo]

yeah i redownloaded those new files you posted and i still get the error for quint ssr not glamayre tho

also i seem to get a LUT and cursor error

[mortal shuttle]

i'd recommend going back either way, even without compile errors

glamayre has these weird boxes in the bottom right and top left corners, fps seems to fluctuate more, etc.

[dire ginkgo]

how do i go back to 5.7.0 is there a link to it on reshade discord or something else?

[mortal shuttle]

can be found here as well

[dire ginkgo]

That works thx

[mortal shuttle]

it should auto detect hippo's atmospherics folder/preset when it asks for an existing ini or whatever

when you get to the optional effects page, click skip then finish

[thick helm]

I'm not seeing a dedicated black levels slider, is it in this section or lower?

[mint owl]

In that case, try searching for it in QUINT Regrade

[thick helm]

kk

actually, what should I be looking for? because I still don't see anything just labeled "black levels", it always has something else tied to it

[mint owl]

Pretty sure quINT Regrade has a levels section though

If not, show me what's in there, I'll try to point it out for you

[coarse sage]

Can I ask, what is "A.D.E.G.A.", and what it does to the game?

[misty echo]

textures

trees, grass, buildings ect...

[mint owl]

Can I see the drop down for Adjustments and Tone Curve ?

[thick helm]

game crashed, had to relaunch

[mint owl]

Oof

Well, Contrast option in adjustments

[coarse sage]

Thanks for replying, can I ask where I can find the download link, or some kind information about it with photos?

[misty echo]

Iirc download link is pinned in the atmospherics post

[coarse sage]

Okay 👌

[thorn owl]

Anyone here use Special K with ReShade?

[ivory zenith]

Does any one have tarkov-ish reshade preset?

[honest robin]

reshade for daytime pics. does not like night, for me at least.

[mortal shuttle]

Agressor was based on the look of EFT though I think Agressor is outdated, iirc

[ivory zenith]

I did that custerplays atmos graphics but it didnt work graphics are still looking bad

[mortal shuttle]

what's bad about it

[daring narwhal]

thoughts

[formal shuttle]

Looks nice, what did you do?

[slender barn]

Very grim vibes

With that ray of hope in bloom and sunny colours

Perfect for stalker i reckon, how did you do it?

The dark should literally be feared, Even shadows during the day

I have the DNA of a curious monkey, and the aim of a god. So i just charge through the brush at night, Doesn't really scare me but that adds a nice dreaded feeling actually makes me feel slow looking at it. Because i wanna be careful

But i just have confidence in 20x70 buckshot and headshots

And pathing, Nothing beats having a mutated chimera bugging out in front of you because you find the "right" spot between two rocks and he's just pacing back and forth 1 meter from you while you slowly unload 100 rounds into its head

[daring narwhal]

zone79 tweak with ppfx boom edit

anyone know a quick way to add reshades that u download from here or where to put the file

[random mirage]

I think here

[ivory zenith]

Nothing changes I mean

[ivory zenith]

Waow is this only with preset?

[dim glacier]

Man, the Indirect Lighting from SSS wrecks my fps above very low setting

which is a shame because it looks good

[tidal tiger]

can you drop your customized preset.ini?

i really like the vibe

[signal breach]

does anybody have phrozac grim v2

nevermind im actually not smart

[swift robin]

Can someone explain to me what cfg load atmosr does, for example? I understand that it changes how the game looks, but maybe someone here can properly tell me what exactly it does?

[daring narwhal]

Ill drop it tn

[mortal shuttle]

Just executes a fuck ton of commands all at once, open the file with notepad (found in the Atmospherics mod) and you can see exactly what it does

Color grading, shader param values, saturation, brightness, etc.

[swift robin]

uh, that shit

[tidal tiger]

Yes, that shit

[swift robin]

I c, thanks for the help

[mortal shuttle]

[tidal tiger]

update on that?

[elder dagger]

that shit slaps bro

[slim path]

I tweaked this a little to more my liking, but I was just wondering which effect adds the actual fog? Want to tweak that as well

[mortal shuttle]

The fog is from SSS/atmospherics

[slim path]

Yeah I was also in Zaton which was really foggy at the time

Moved around a bit and terted elsewhere

[daring narwhal]

love g

[daring narwhal]

how did u adjust the fog?

[slim path]

In the end I didn't, it was just the map I was on. Went to a different map to play with it a bit more, but it's doing weird stuff, might try to fix it later but was getting too tedious for me XD

[daring narwhal]

i got some updates

[modest jasper]

Gamers my reshade probably kills my fps rn any tips or known issues

Loaded a save and got 5 fps, seen reshade tell me about errors but no idea where to look the log

[frigid trellis]

how do i use these

[robust forge]

Pretty sure you just put em in your bin?

[buoyant bay]

U only need to put it in in game folder on overwrite folder

Is defently nice reahader

[mortal shuttle]

Highly unlikely

[tepid prairie]

any idea what part of reshade is causing these weird ghostly visual artifacts?

this may be a better screenshot

[mortal shuttle]

MXAO or any other AO effect

[modest jasper]

Well it was, one of the addons failed to compile propperly and did that

[mortal shuttle]

Hmm, never heard of that before

[lethal urchin]

How integral is the qUINT_rtgi.fx shader to your ReShade setup? Cos it's a) hard to acquire, and b) a framerate pillager

[leaden spindle]

@daring narwhal Can I get a link to this Reshade and if it is already linked then please point me to it

[daring narwhal]

im going to redrop soon it goes with inverno mod now so get that

[true jacinth]

can someone help me, what do i do when the shader menu doesnt open in game

i feel like it didnt install

[true jacinth]

nvm i know why it isnt working, had to download this or else the game would just crash and one of the files inside is one that reshade replaces so i guess thats why my reshade isnt working

[jovial hull]

is aydins summer present a reshade preset or..?

[orchid basin]

aydins grass and trees is a mod. right click > reinstal > choose summer

[jovial hull]

[jovial hull]

what mod 😭

[orchid basin]

aydins grass and trees

[jovial hull]

OH

[somber parcel]
