[wide dune]

It will use more power tho if you care about that and will most likely run hotter aswell

[rigid pendant]

I've got the wattage

Depends how much hotter

[wide dune]

That just depends on your rig tbh but it wasn’t much for me

powercfg -duplicatescheme e9a42b02-d5df-448d-aa00-03f14749eb61

Put this into your cmd then go to your pc power options press more options and use it @rigid pendant

You will have to reset your pc sleep and auto shutoff settings tho if you changed them

[rigid pendant]

Alright thanks I'll see if it helps !

[wide dune]

Lmk

[rigid pendant]

Doesent seem to have necessarily increased it BUT it seems to stay at it's peak framerate more consistently

If that makes sense

Which is still a W

If it means I'm not dropping as hard then it's for sure useful

Thanks for the tip I think this is good

[wide dune]

At least it helped some

[rigid pendant]

Any help is major

At this point

[wide dune]

True plus it will help with everything on your pc

[unreal flame]

I have R7 5800X and RTX3080. Is there a reshade mode or setting you can recommend? I don't know much about these issues. I would appreciate it if you could make a few suggestions.

[rigid pendant]

Your system is pretty good, try some of the presets in reshade and if you like any of those you can tweak them from there, or you could maybe check out Norfairs and see if you like them https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1162285292070379530 or #╟🎑reshades message Hunter reshade is also popular

[rigid pendant]

Kind of depends what looks good to you realistically

[unreal flame]

I think this looks nice. Which reShade is this?

[rigid pendant]

that was one gromov posted but he said it wasnt stable, if you want something similar try asking @slow star how to get GTR + ZR 0.3 working

if you like that this is pretty similar

and probably has more realistic effects casue it has extra things going on besides reshade

Norfair posted that one above in screenshots

idk if itd be difficult

[abstract pivot]

dang this looks like my pc is going to explode

[rigid pendant]

Sorry to ping you norfair I just wasnt sure if you did something special in your screenshot and it looked pretty similar to what he wanted

[slow star]

Sup kyrax. I'm about to take off for the day but before i do, gonna explain very briefly.

to get that set up it's pretty simple:

• get GTR from moddb, install at the bottom of your modlist.
• get #1153770802819383346, check the pin and follow the instructions. I only installed the zone reality folder bc I'm using my own presets though, so even simpler.
• get the reshade preset core_v3 from my thread. #1162285292070379530 . Check the pin, go to the link called Corev3 and follow the instructions in the images. Everything is explained in the pin.
• optional, get my user.ltx also from my thread 📌

[unreal flame]

Thank you fot the info dude.

[rigid pendant]

Thanks for the breakdown! I think once I upgrade my system something like that would probably be my ideal reshade

[slow star]

I like where yours is going, keep it up

[abstract pivot]

is zone reality a reshade too or what is it?

[unreal flame]

what is your reshade ?

[rigid pendant]

Its just the one I've been tweaking over the last couple days !

I can share the preset if you want to try it out

[kindred stratus]

downloads

slides RTGI to max

flashbang

https://tenor.com/view/reaction-my-eyes-cant-unsee-burn-gif-7225082

i want to try out zr 0.3 so il prob have another mod group for it

so i dont nuke my main mod list if i fuck up lol

[rigid pendant]

Always my fear lol

[unreal flame]

I liked the setting you made, I would like to try it.

[rigid pendant]

Ok cool, ill send you a message with the file, just download it and drop it in C:\Anomaly\bin

or

just Anomaly\bin

depending where your install is

[unreal flame]

thank you

[rigid pendant]

idk if it's just the weather or area I'm in, but I tweaked ZCP and dynamic despawner just a little bit and am seeing what feels like a pretty good boost

[wide dune]

nice i turned down my grass settings and i get a constent 95 fps now

[rigid pendant]

MASSIVE

[wide dune]

FR

[rigid pendant]

brooooo

Im getting so close

to perfection i can feel it

for what my system is able to do Im getting PRETTY damn close

[wide dune]

idek how to download those but that looks insane

[rigid pendant]

pretty sure you just download the file someone shares, and then drop it in your Anomaly\bin

and then you just select it from the drop down in reshade

see

[wide dune]

oh thats not bad

[rigid pendant]

actually i might not be supposed to drop that here

let me DM it

it also seems like a really optimized preset

if im being honest, compared to like AtmosR++ which tanks me to like 35 fps regardless

[wide dune]

thats what im using rn

[rigid pendant]

I get like double with my own custom preset with faster more performance considering effects that still look good

[wide dune]

lemme figure out how to do this and ill test it out

[rigid pendant]

Its not perfect, still working out the kinks, there are times things feel a tad too bright and HDR values need to be adjusted but overall its in a good spot

Its a good V1

[wide dune]

got it im opening the game rn give me just a minute

how do you make them?

[rigid pendant]

I didnt make anything i just started disabling and adding effects that looked nice to the base atmosr preset

til it eventually looked nothing like

the original look, and then it was just my own look

[wide dune]

I See

[rigid pendant]

Anyone can do this it just takes patience, helps when you have a good base knowledge of like graphical terms and stuff though

but its a lot of me dragging bars and trying to figure out what its doing

and then optimizing that til it feels right

Like going into this knowing what depth of field is like just as a term helped me to maneuver around the depth of field settings etc

[wide dune]

i do like the way it looks the only thing is its a little blurry

there is a setting for that tho right?

[rigid pendant]

is it the blur around the edges ? thats pretty easy to fix

its just peripheral DOF in SSS

[wide dune]

i know the issue i have anti aliasing off

[rigid pendant]

I dont use anti aliasing in the in game settings

the anti aliasing in the preset is covering it

[wide dune]

cool

[rigid pendant]

If you dont like depth of field, which is the peripheral being blurred slightly / when you aim down the sights it will blur the surroundings a bit you can go into the MCM list and scroll down to SSS > Weapons DOF and just pull all the bars to 0

[wide dune]

i do like that i fixed it by upping some sliders on fxaa

imma keep using this one tho i do like it if you make a v2 lmk

[rigid pendant]

just out of curiosity what did you change in FXAA?

also will do glad you like it

I assume you just turned the subpix down to make it a little less blurred on trees ?

[wide dune]

i made "edge detection threshold" and "darkness threshold" to 1.0

it made things look less blurry far away

[rigid pendant]

Im pretty sure thats actually just disabled, try unchecking FXAA

does it look the same haha

and totally if thats what looks good to you go for it

[wide dune]

ya it does look the same lmao

[rigid pendant]

yeah you can just leave it unchecked

seems like youre just not as bugged by the aliasing as I am

therefore you dont need the FXAA

and can just use it with all the other effects

[wide dune]

awesome

im getting around 120 fps atm

[rigid pendant]

Its pretty optimized right?

It seems like a pretty solid balance between looks and performance

[wide dune]

yes fs

[rigid pendant]

its funny you can really see how much work the HDR and color gradient settings are doing on there own by just unchecking them and comparing on vs off

blooming HDR, fake hdr, and PD80 color gradient

[wide dune]

ya its pretty nice

[unreal flame]

I have a friend who uses the RX 580 GPU and he gets below 30 fps in the game. Is there a reshade setting to have a slightly better fps value?

[rigid pendant]

Does he not want to just uninstall reshade? He would get much better performance doing that along with the other tips listed in https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1089156086172499978

[unreal flame]

It currently does what is written there, but I think this will not be enough, so I wonder if a better fps value can be achieved with reshade settings.

[rigid pendant]

there is no amount of tinkering with reshade that will gain you more framerate than removing reshade itself

It is the first thing they tell you to do in fps optimization

[rigid pendant]

"Yeniden gölgelendirmeyi tamamen devre dışı bıraktığınızdan emin olun" fps için ilk ipucu

[unreal flame]

Thank you for this information, we will try it.

[shadow herald]

hello there everyone, i got a question related to graphics, so i though reshade channel would be apropriate, after the last SSS update, Jaku's improved shaders doesnt work anymore, this mod added awesome reflections to the game, but since it doesnt work anymore, somene know how to increase the reflection definition and intesity in weapons?

This is what i used to get

this is what i get now, no reflection at all (weather is set in "clear")

[kindred stratus]

@rigid pendant Me trying out ZR 0.3 with Norfair Core 3 a bit, I do quite like how minimalistic this one is

[kindred stratus]

oh god that's horrible

i would seriously love to help if i actually knew better, but sadly all i could say is that hope someone sees your plea soon and try to help with it

[wispy rapids]

pretty sure the SSS 18 update has it's own stuff and edits, sadly changes a lot of the good guns that looked beautiful to now be trash in screenshots

for instance the AS Val Reanimated mod was super stellar for screenshots in sss 17

but sss 18 it is shit

pretty sure next update is going to fix it

also why need two different hud mods for rain drops, reflections

when SSS includes it

[rigid pendant]

Looks awesome !

it reminds me of red dead redemption

haha

[muted rivet]

I have my 2060 with i3 10th f series, the gameplay for me is above 65fps with gamma reshade, and all the game settting is low for me

How can i tweak the reshade setting for better grass and world texture

Does weak cpu affect alot when i use reshade

[swift robin]

any sexy shaders that dont fuck up my remaining fps

[barren crescent]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1162285292070379530

[swift robin]

will it absolutely fuck my fps

[slow star]

same fps as any other common preset

core_v3 and Pack4preview are very resource-caring

[swift robin]

bet

[quasi hull]

Hunter is My favorite reshade^ turn off in game AA , cfg_load spring2
SSS in mcm tone down the flora fixes specular and scattering intensity little by little to your liking and your game should look pretty nice.

I find the gloomy weather makes things more softer, but also fit the atmosphere.

fps is above 80

[twilit agate]

guys am i stupid or not why cant i find the capa_string.ini

in the home tab

i am infact stupid

[quasi hull]

Is it in your anomaly bin folder?

[twilit agate]

do not worry all is good

[midnight forge]

Is there a step to step guide or something I can follow that's Maybe for someone that can somewhat follow instructions to set up a good reshape pack?

[slow star]

Yeah sure, try my pack if you want

super simple to install

Download the file from this linked message
#1162285292070379530 message
and follow the instructions in it's attached image

To switch presets, follow this image

Any other question is answered in the pinned message on my thread

[kindred stratus]

Took me a bit while but I finally managed to get the weapon repositioning mod working

The format of the thing was slightly confusing so I had to reread to understand

[slow star]

Nice

Try this command too with a scoped weapon
scope_factor 0.7

[kindred stratus]

Yepperz

[kindred stratus]

im far too early to even own a scope, literally still with my starter smg

[slow star]

it simulates picture in picture.
value 1.0 is no pip effect
0.0 is full pip effect but do not go below 0.5 ever, its too much

[slow star]

Alright keep it in mind when you get an acog or smth

[kindred stratus]

yep i think i went like 0.75

[slow star]

i can't play without it

[slow star]

in motion it's incredible

[kindred stratus]

yeah look damns nice

going down the visual/immersion rabbit hole

nothing like spending hours on installing mod and configuring shaders

and 10 min of playing the actual damn game

[slow star]

Oh for sure

I actually deleted all my saves already

haven't played the actual game in 2 months lol

[kindred stratus]

[slow star]

but obv i just want to focus on my presets so i cant really spend my free time on playing the game lol

[midnight forge]

Wait what does the scope mod do yall talking about?

[slow star]

Included with gamma

[grave rover]

@rigid pendant Well. Figured out that FPS drop I mentioned, It wasn't none of the reshades or grass. It was the GIRTH mod to fix the HUD for Ultra wide..

Anybody have any idea how that world that tanks FPS from 120+ to 40s?

[slow star]

Dynahud

[grave rover]

I'm assuming girth bugs out with dynahud then huh?

[slow star]

No its just the nature of really high polling rate

I use DART for ultrawide

lighter code, no dynahud

[midnight forge]

hey norfair was looking at the guide for the shaders and was checking my anomoly bin files and theres a folder called reshade shaders already do i just extract the download and slap them in there?

[slow star]

no fps drops

[kindred stratus]

The ultimate solution, buy normal, not ultrawide monitor, no mod needed

[grave rover]

Haven't heard of DART. I'll look into that then. Odd how GIRTH would tank the fps so badly doing little to nothing.

[slow star]

Yes, if you look at what my file incldues it's just a single lut file, do not delete anything in your reshade-shaders. just drag and drop like the img

[slow star]

#1169311822139105380

[midnight forge]

okay just wanted to make sure

[slow star]

Becuase of Dynahud

[midnight forge]

heres to go not screwing anything up

[slow star]

Even for non UW users, dynahud pulls 20 or 30 fps alongside gameplay goes

[grave rover]

I know because of dynahud lol Im saying.. HOW its just a hud. So strange. You said polling? LIke hoooow. So weird.

[slow star]

Yeah

Because of scripts

Like every second or so it runs a script to check for elements

[slow star]

Xan this is the 2dso at 0.5 i think

wait shit I deleted the video

🤦‍♂️

well give me 5 lol

[grave rover]

ah makes sense, and being it is STALKER.. Go figure. lol To be expected.

I'm assuming DART is just as easy as Girth is to get working hopefully?

[slow star]

Even easier

And its compatible with other hud mods

I'm using it with ui rework and it slaps

[grave rover]

Message me if you will @slow star

[midnight forge]

how do i open zip download ik how to extract stuff into folders/files srry still a lil new to all this extracting most ive every done XD

[grave rover]

Using the M.O. you should just right click in GAMMA's profile and "install mod" and point it to the zip file I believe. No need to extract that I'm aware of.

[midnight forge]

Mmm ah so I shouldn't be doing this?

[slow star]

#1169311822139105380
Download, install with MO2 > Select all the options you want, activate at the bottom of your list, done.
Disable GIRTH obviously

[midnight forge]

This is where I am rn before I stopped myself because I realized it didn't match up where I needed to open and drag. Srry it's a shtty phone pic

[slow star]

@kindred stratus

scope_factor 0.4 + 2DSO

[grave rover]

Actually just did that, and it's still stuck in the 40-50s, if i disable that, like before with girth, it goes right back up to 100+

[slow star]

That's really weird

[grave rover]

Not sure whats going on.

Gonna test again with both disabled real quick.

[slow star]

look for dynahud in your mo2

if you have it enabled, disable

also disable your mask overlay under options>player in the game settings

[grave rover]

Dynahud doesn't even show when searching in the filters

[slow star]

check again for fps

same area/level everything

[midnight forge]

@slow star where by chance did i go wrong i downloaded the file P4 and not sure how to open it or get it to how the first img is to drag and drop into folder and do i just drop it in the bin or reshade folder?

[grave rover]

Yeah oddly enough, Dynahud shows no where in GAMMA. Full 422 mods installed.

[slow star]

It doesnt come with gamma but I wanted to make sure you didnt have it

[grave rover]

It's the dynamic hud installed by default with GAMMA. Its there.

It comes with it, I can re-install it and its active, you turn it on and off in game being dynamic and all. etc

[slow star]

Oh alright

[grave rover]

This ones got me stumped lol... ugh.

[kindred stratus]

Ah, il try to play with the scope factor and see how it turns out with the 2DSO

[slow star]

Ask in #🔨base-gamma-support

[kindred stratus]

Also added aim movement redux so there's weapon sway with inertia

[slow star]

drag and drop, theres nothing else to do

[kindred stratus]

I wonder if I should reduce fov a bit more below what I currently am (75)

[midnight forge]

i think i saw where i was confusing myself was accidntly just trying to extract it instead of opening it

[slow star]

i mean you can extract it wherever you want

its literally gonna create a folder and you do the same, drag and drop the files

i just open with left click and thats it

[slow star]

I use 80 for gameplay

For screens 70

[midnight forge]

and thats all once they in bin i go in game gotta rebind home but open up the reshade menu and choose from one of the four?

if so im good and thanks srry about the needless confusion/questions

[slow star]

Yes

[slow star]

These are the anti-aliasing options. Check like this and if it drops the fps too much, only activate the one in the top.

Do not rearrange the effects or move them around

[midnight forge]

i see should i expect fps drops with amd5900 and 3080 ti still?

[slow star]

Nah

[midnight forge]

okay cool

[slow star]

TFAA with one of the two above it is around -15fps though

but its really good AA

I use it sometimes ,depends on the season pack honestly.

[midnight forge]

i see i see okay

[slow star]

DRME is heavier but better. so if you still see blurrines, disable Motionvectors and activate DRME instead

and those only work with tfaa below them

[midnight forge]

alright thank you for the tips ill prob take a ss just so i dont forget and have the pic in case XD

[slow star]

Sure

[wide dune]

How close is core v4 to being finished?

[slow star]

eta: two weeks

[wide dune]

Bet

[slow star]

P4 will include like 20 other presets

[wide dune]

I See cool I’ll make sure to get it

[midnight forge]

Ah okay hey @slow star Was looking to remind home key because my keyboard doesn't have one its like a 60 or 70 precent 🙃 and I don't see exactly where in game settings go rebind it or could I use console to open it?

Or anyone else who might know

[grave rover]

@slow star I'm an idiot. It was the Re-shade dropping FPS so badly for the most part combined with the fact I maxed out EVERYTHING Shadow/lighting based

[slow star]

But you can open the reshade menu or no?

If you cant, the keybind can be edited in reshade.ini

[midnight forge]

Atm no not that ik of because I don't have a home key

Okay so reshade.ini

[slow star]

Do you want my reshade ini? Its simpler

Just replace and donezo

[slow star]

So it wasnt dynahud?

[midnight forge]

What's it rebinded to?

[grave rover]

@slow star no it wasn't, I can use girth just fine too, I tend to forget even a damn 4090 would lag like a biiiish. Using a 3090 I was tinkering a bit too far 😂 I wish stalker had better AVX support it would help the whole damn PC like a mf. The AVX now barely does much of anything sadly. I got it sitting at 70 FPS locked for now, it jumps too high 120+ and low so figured it was right to lock it. So far alls good enough I guess.

[slow star]

To - and +

[slow star]

Okay that's good to hear.
you were able to fix it somewhat!

[grave rover]

It looks good enough, its mostly all these reshades Im messing with. Still not entirely satisfied lol But I am using some of the default GAMMA ones, the film look is solid really. Its warm but dark at the same time.

[midnight forge]

Might be for the best I can't even find where it's it unless it's this?

[grave rover]

@slow star I see lots of re-shades disabled and included, shaders, etc. Any you recommend?

[midnight forge]

I hate using my phone God it's disgusting

[slow star]

#1153770802819383346 message
grab my reshade.ini. way easier !

[slow star]

You mean the effects?

[grave rover]

Some one mentioned PBR Shaders

[slow star]

I mean it's a lot to explain

There's so many effects

[grave rover]

I was told about PBR Shaders and Aggressor Reshade being the best. Im not so familiar lol

[slow star]

I'd check what other presets use and check each effect out

No idea

Never used aggressor

[grave rover]

Apparently Aggressor includes grass and ground textures to install from what I'm reading

PBR Shaders are something included in Provaks Anomoly, never heard of that one.

[slow star]

I'll check it out whenever i can

Sounds interesting

[midnight forge]

Okay so just download that file and drop it in bin replace and I should them be able to open the reshape menu with - and + though I wonder how it'll work because my + key shares a key with =

[grave rover]

It does, at least the texture replacement one. But I read multiple posts on reddit about the PBR one saying its a visual-gasm lol who knows.

[slow star]

Alt.. right shift.. hold the desired key... it changes layers

You never pressed a modifier key?

[slow star]

Oh.. you mean pbr shaders..

Yeah that's what we've been using for years now

Nothing new

Dobrov uses them for gtr and other textures packs use them as well. Its implementation has been incorporated into sss for a year now

I dont think theres anything new in the preset, probably a good one but most of the effects the community uses already probably

[midnight forge]

That's the first I've heard of it ngl tried testing in just chat alt didn't work but if I pressed shift it would let me type + and alright time to download files and see how it goes brb

[grave rover]

The texture replacement one, no. It's not part of the PBR shaders.

[slow star]

Pbr shaders is basically a shader implementation pipeline

For texture bump channels to behave differently

[midnight forge]

Seem to work I wanna say yea just gotta find the shaders now

[slow star]

Graupel uses this pipeline alongside its own .h shader files to create a really good effect for snow and grass based on pbr techniques

[slow star]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/enhanced-shaders-and-color-grading-for-151

Already included in gamma

Check the desc.

[midnight forge]

where do screen shots go i heard pic snap just not sure where in files to looked cant find it

[slow star]

No dont use the pic snap

Go to reshade settings tab and set your own screenshot hotkey

They will be located in gamma/overwrite/bin but you can change the location aswell.

[midnight forge]

ah okay my usualy key is f12 i think so i pressed and heard snap and alright

[slow star]

No thats the game built in screenshot hotkey. It works like shit with reshade

Use what i said

[midnight forge]

Okay 👍 what key do you use you would recommend that usually don't interfere with other binds? Or keys

[slow star]

Idk

Backlash

[midnight forge]

I think it's already set to backslash? I checked the settings and it shows backslash just not path I think

nvm all good

[slow star]

yeah I use backlash already

but you asked me lol

[midnight forge]

reshades are looking clean btw

[midnight forge]

no yea it was already set to it so idk

[slow star]

you can change the location to something else obv but default is gamma/overwrite

[midnight forge]

it saved to anomaly appdata screenshots for me

[slow star]

Impossible

[midnight forge]

which works for now but yeah i did see where to change it

[slow star]

That's F12

[midnight forge]

really?

weird

[slow star]

Yes

I can see the screenshot name

that's anomaly's screenshot feature

I mean you can use it but the screenshots are either compressed or sometimes bug out

[midnight forge]

whaat thats crazy because i could have sworn i pressed backslash to take it and it said it saved here one sec

[slow star]

It will say it saves somewhere but it's actually in gamma overwrite bin

trust me

thats how mo2 works

[midnight forge]

ah there is one there okay

[slow star]

BTW you dont need to take a screenshot with your phone for reshade menu
Press LeftShift+S+Windowskey and you can take a cropped screenie

then come here and press CTRL+V and it'll automatically grab the screen from the clipboard

[slow star]

Yeah that's how it looks. Good job

Now you know how to set up every preset ever

[midnight forge]

mmm yes very good thank you for the tips yeah i still dont know all the quick ss stuff and i keep forgeting what my normal ss key is XD

[daring swift]

Sorry for being silly but I can’t find where to install these reshades.

Games all installed, played, etc

Are the reshades on a menu somewhere already installed?

[pearl cape]

hey guys which console commands are for alterring the sun rays? i think of three but i cant get the hang of them

[sturdy sage]

When youre in the game press the Home key to bring up the reshader options, Should also have a drop down box for all preinstalled reshade presets.

[daring swift]

Absolute legend🙏🏻 ty ty

[sturdy sage]

No problem, As far as downloading ones from here it dosnt seem to matter where you save it to. as long as you can navigate to it from the /... section of the drop down box

[daring swift]

Are the pre-installed decent or would you recommend downloading some?

[sturdy sage]

I just started messing with them today, i didnt find any in presets i liked but i did like the norfolk breezy one i downloaded in a pack from here. Im hard of seeing so most of these make it harder for me to play in the first place so just tryna find a bright clear one

[daring swift]

Ahhh okay I get you! Sorry do you know which channel the reshade downloads are in? Discord confuses me I won’t lie 😂

[wide dune]

When I get home I have one that’s bright you can try it’s made by @rigid pendant

[sturdy sage]

i just used the top right search bar and looked up .dll to find them. I dont know if they are consistantly in this discord or not. i couldnt find many easily either

[daring swift]

Legend! Ty ty

[sturdy sage]

That would be amazing! Been sliding bars for hours

[wide dune]

I get home pretty late tho but I’ll dm you it on discord then I get home from work in about 6 hours 1:30am my time

[sturdy sage]

No problem! thanks again i appreciate it.

[wide dune]

Np

[north rivet]

it looks so incredible

[kindred stratus]

It's best practices to still save them in one spot for ease of access in general. You wouldn't want them scattered all about and then have difficulties hunting them down when you need to clear it out or share preset files with others.

To not mention that all instructions will also point to the same installation directory, so it's best to follow them. @daring swift All shader presets should always be installed in Anomaly/bin, though make sure to read the instructions properly as time to time there will be additional steps you have to follow.

[rigid pendant]

Think im going to actually try and just progress and play the game today

take a break from the sliders

seeing reshade menus in my dreams

[wide dune]

Lmao have fun

[rigid pendant]

I say that but realistically ill prolly end up seeing some minor lighting imperfection and spend 30 minutes trying to make it look better

[kindred stratus]

the shaders must go on

[wide dune]

Fs

[rigid pendant]

Reshade gang rise up

[wide dune]

W

[hallow canopy]

That's a big problem?

[kindred stratus]

Can just ignore

[hallow canopy]

Thanks.

Anyone ever tried Hunter 2.0 presets with ZR 0.3 by chance

wondering how it'd look

[rigid pendant]

I feel like if someone's tried it it's norfair

I don't wanna ping that man tho I feel like he gets enough

😂

[kindred stratus]

yeah i think he aint around so i rather not atm lol

i also dont quite understand why when he does zr 0.3 + norfair he uses gtr at bottom load list as well

[wide dune]

I can try to download it after work tonight

[kindred stratus]

i thought zr 0.3 had inbuilt gtr with it

unless i have misunderstood big time

[rigid pendant]

Honestly I know absolutely 0 about additional mods

[kindred stratus]

oh

[wide dune]

I get off at like 1:30am tho so I have 4 hours till I’m off it’s only 9:41 here

[kindred stratus]

rip night shifts lol

better than mornin anyway

[wide dune]

I work 4 10 hour shifts a week

[rigid pendant]

I would totally try extra stuff like zone reality but my PC gives me a stern look telling me I'm lucky gamma is operating as is

[kindred stratus]

lol true, im doing like

65 fps with tfaa on for hunter

with my rig

[rigid pendant]

Once I tell people I have an i5 7600k they're like ok yeah, don't push it LMFAO

[kindred stratus]

hot damn, thats pretty nice to my standards

[wide dune]

I’ve been getting solid 100-120 fps

[rigid pendant]

I got that 2017 4 core i5

[kindred stratus]

for me its 6 days a week 9 hours per shift so oof

one off day

[wide dune]

I agree I like it I work in a lab so I am sitting down doing nothing 99% of the time

[kindred stratus]

about to turn the pc into a jet engine

[rigid pendant]

I was getting 60 fps in rostok tho at 1440p with my preset

Which is honestly a W

[wide dune]

Ryzen 9 5900x and 3090ti rn

[rigid pendant]

Yeah you can slap on all the stuff

Lmao

I want to save up for a new rig,.but it's like the same price as an 05 Honda

Sadge

[rigid pendant]

Eventually I'll be able to buy a graphics card

[wide dune]

Can’t wait to get off work my brain is melting

[rigid pendant]

I see something that says Atmos on a sticky on ur monitor

U doing reshades at work

?!

[wide dune]

No I wish I could

[rigid pendant]

Gamma is better than any gaming experience I've had in the last 5 years

[wide dune]

Fr it’s so good

[rigid pendant]

Idk why I needed to say that

But I did

Just had to get it off my chest

[wide dune]

It’s true tho

[rigid pendant]

I feel like I can just play it non stop

Like deadass

And then I'm like shit gotta sleep but I wanna keep playing

[wide dune]

I ended up going to bed last night at 7:30 am bc I was playing all night

[rigid pendant]

I feel like I'll only start liking it more once I finish my normal playthrough and start trying iron man's, cause the only part of the experience that is lacking is it needing to feel like more is at stake

Campfire saving is an okay way but realistically losing 30 minutes max of progress to me isn't that bad

But then I'll die to the stupidest things and question how I'll survive 5 minutes in ironman

[wide dune]

I Never complicated the game yet

I’m trash

[rigid pendant]

I've finished the main storyline on vanilla anomaly but I was so OP by the time I was ready to go to cnpp that it was a joke

[blissful path]

it sexy preset or it bad ugly potato preset

if sexy pls giv

[rigid pendant]

Some sample pictures

[blissful path]

ooh yeah, please give

[rigid pendant]

I'll send u a DM with the .ini

[blissful path]

cheers

[blissful path]

i hit ignore by accident would you mind sending again

[rigid pendant]

Gotchu

no worries

[blissful path]

still not used to discord having an ignore/accept system lul

[rigid pendant]

yeah i think its just for people who arent your friends

so you dont just get flooded with randoms messages

[blissful path]

thats real people social media features, not pisscord

[rigid pendant]

let me know if the reshade works and looks good for you

[wide dune]

Didn’t know it was a thing till yesterday

[agile heath]

There’s always something to do, and then when you’re doing that thing more things happen and it just never ends and you never want to stop fuck my life

[kindred stratus]

not bright enough

the sun need to be literally blinding

[wide dune]

Fr

[rigid pendant]

True let me crank the bloom up for ya

[kindred stratus]

[wide dune]

👀 🔥 💥 💥

[rigid pendant]

Xan reshade complete and ready to ship

should be good enough for you

let me know if u want it brighter

[wide dune]

Looks like it should have a bright future

[rigid pendant]

xan cant even speak hes in awe

at how perfect it is for him

hes never seen a more immersive experience waiting

[wide dune]

Ff he’s already trying to get his hands on it

[wide dune]

^^

(・Д・)

[rigid pendant]

or maybe the light of the picture being posted has just knocked the lights off

inside xan

flashbanged

[wide dune]

True

[kindred stratus]

ah i feel at home

[wide dune]

Me turning on my phone at 6am

[rigid pendant]

LMFAO the pulse anomaly showing up randomly when im running in the pitch black

[weak halo]

I can't help but notice trhat the gun is still visible. Could you make this just a bit brighter? I think it would really sell the effect.

[kindred stratus]

lol the average experience of running NVGs in the dark

[wide dune]

I agree

[kindred stratus]

200% chance of pulse anomaly showing up right on top of you

[rigid pendant]

were thinking more like this

right

?

[wide dune]

Now this 🥵

[weak halo]

yeah I think your'e on to something with that

[kindred stratus]

brings tear to my eyes, its beautiful

[wide dune]

This is what I like to see

[rigid pendant]

lets see if norfair can muster up the courage to out reshade this one

😈

[kindred stratus]

i wonder if you can apply a negative filter on top of that and see wtf happens lol

[wide dune]

Gray 😋

[kindred stratus]

kek

but yeah the amount of time pulse burnt my eyes while using NVG

is almost not funny lol

it rarely pops up when im doing random things

[wide dune]

I’ve never gotten nvg yet

[kindred stratus]

put that on suddenly 300 pulses

NVGs are good fun, pretty needed for night time incursions

[rigid pendant]

Nvg are actually really easy to make

[kindred stratus]

otherwise base gamma dark is like

real shit dark, blind af

[rigid pendant]

pre sure you just need headlamp and then the resistors transistors and capacitors

[kindred stratus]

im not sure what happened since last update

it got SUPER pitch black

[wide dune]

I have never crafted a item b4

[rigid pendant]

honestly as it should be, if you get trapped in the darkness

with no headlamp no nvfg

it should be pitch black

ya goofed

and now u gotta deal with the real darkness of the world

[kindred stratus]

i mean tbf you'd probably at least adapt and see maybe couple metres ahead of you
one time i got stuck in darkscape on that random bed, i couldnt even find the bed

[wide dune]

Like my heart 😢

[kindred stratus]

cuz it was dark as shit

[rigid pendant]

[teal apex]

i need good reshade cause my game ugley

[sage fern]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1162285292070379530

[teal apex]

which thing i click to downlod

[sage fern]

check the pins

[teal apex]

ok thx ill try it out

[teal apex]

Which preset should I use

[sage fern]

Depends on what you want

Though I'd say corev3

If you want there's also https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1153770802819383346

But that's more on texture replacements and other stuff included

[teal apex]

Ok

I need good retextures also

oh yeah zone reality is textures

[kindred stratus]

ZR 0.3 is basically the whole bundle, yes

ZR 0.3 itself is just a compilation of multiple texture files, though it does also come with shader ini for playing around with

[gloomy bear]

Any good autumn reshades that you guys recommend? I play on using one for a month or so then switching to a winter one when snow starts falling 🙂

Also hopefully its not too system intense and doesnt require me to delete and alter and overwrite half of my mods to get it working

Because I just tried one and it borked my game so bad that I decided to delete it all and do a fresh install

[deep ivy]

is it possible to install expedition on the gamma

[slow star]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1080180246038446080

[rigid pendant]

Core V3 with Winter Grass pack is

[kindred stratus]

me who is just praying that updating won't nuke the mods list i got rn

[rigid pendant]

I don't know if I actually like the sound of the update, sounds like it's just making the game easier

I like the toolkits being required etc

But stability begs the update so I will update

[kindred stratus]

im in for a ride, my game is now nuked for a good while

will need to troubleshoot my new custo mod list

[rigid pendant]

Yeah Im kinda glad I'm holding off 😳

I feel like I've spent the last week just getting to a place where I'm finally ready to play

[kindred stratus]

[rigid pendant]

Don't want another couple days of troubleshooting

[kindred stratus]

if i had to assume its likely some new mod interfering with what i have

[rigid pendant]

Might not be that long but I'm scared

[kindred stratus]

i should prob try to run it vanilla, i didnt even try lmao.

[rigid pendant]

Tru prob conflicting with ZR or something

[kindred stratus]

aint zr, i didnt enable that for this list as im using ADEGA

YEEEP, VANILLA ALSO AINT GUCCHI, OH NYOOOooo

[rigid pendant]

Fear

[kindred stratus]

might be just my issue somehow, i think everyone else is okay so

all is well, il justk eep on checking

[rigid pendant]

How long did it take to update

[kindred stratus]

not that long honestly

maybe like 15 min or so, granted i do have a decent rig

[rigid pendant]

Prolly just comes down to having an SSD

Cpu might help a bit

[kindred stratus]

Yep likely so

seems like new game is fine, just old save is rodgered so yeah

vanilla is a-okay

so now, time to eliminate the culprit of whatever is causing my custom mod list to crash

[rigid pendant]

HUGE

[kindred stratus]

ez, found the source problem already on my end for custom mod list. Unfortunately, it seems this new update sends https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1054718548800454697 to heaven and having it enabled regardless of loading position is unavoidable

WE'RE BACK ON BUSINESS (also fuck it reset my user ltx, i forgot about that AAAAAAAAAAAAA)

[rigid pendant]

Niceeee

[rigid pendant]

https://i.gyazo.com/788faf2a961011b009615da128664d93.mp4 any idea what might be causing this odd distortion with Core V3 using TFAA with the motion vectors on top ?

can also see it if i drag the weapon around it leaves a sort of ghosty trail idk how else to describe it

Was also maybe wondering if it had something to do with this :

[kindred stratus]

I have that warning too so i dont think thats it

it sounds more like your motion vector is borked somehow

its supposed to remove the weird smudge trail that happens to some shader preset when you use TFAA

but im no Norfair, im sure he'd know better

[rigid pendant]

Its definitely making the TFAA look better

the only thing is the weird trail

[kindred stratus]

yeah, i cant offer much in the way here sadly

[rigid pendant]

it just fixed itself

cause i

i guess cause I alt tabbed ?

wtf

thats cool ig we like easy fixes

[kindred stratus]

bruh

thats a new solution to things

"have u tried alt tabbing??"

[slow star]

thats how motionvectors work
Go to it's effect settings and switch from Halfres > Fullres. But it's -FPS

If it's still blurry, you need to tweak it extra ~ Or switch to DRME on Fullres, which is heavier but more accurate.

[midnight forge]

I like I could have waited a day and I wouldn't have to added the reshades myself but but atleast ik how to do it now xD

[slow star]

New update, single preset, 18 options (don't mind the fps, recording+reshade menu lowers my fps by half)

[fickle path]

Man that's neat, also wtf is Vepr Hunter in Vanilla Gamma ?

[slow star]

It's from EFP

[fickle path]

Ah

[midnight forge]

Will I need to remove the p4 reshades that I added yesterday or will it not matter when I update gamma

[slow star]

Nah just update gamma. Then get my newest update. Read the pin.
#1162285292070379530 message

[midnight forge]

Mm okay ik I saw that p4 was made into the gamma update so is that just a lil extra to add if wanted or do I need it?

[slow star]

P4 wasn't released yet.
Core_v3 is now part of gamma, but the rest of my presets aren't

You're thinking of P4 Preview which was just 4 presets

that release is older now, use my newest preset, MULTI

has 18 different presets into one

[midnight forge]

Ah yea that's what I meant the preview one and I see

Alright should be last question before I take a shower and hop on and start updating stuff but adding it will be just like adding the p4 preview right just down open drag and drop replace any that it says etc and done?

[slow star]

Read the pin in my thread

There's a guide

[kindred stratus]

That ultrawide giving them black bar movie style + combined with the film noir style : dank 100/10

[daring swift]

Hey guys, which button opens the reshades menu?
Someone said home but that takes me to my desktop 💔

I have a compact keyboard so I’m not sure what’s replaced the HOME key

Ahhh I’ve got it!

For anyone that doesn’t have a full size keyboard home is FN + <—

[green lake]

why does reshade half my frames

with DSR on

[rich night]

Any recommendations for the more popular shaders? I'm ok with some color, I don't need the game to be so dismal.

[river condor]

can try Norfairs new Multi https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1162285292070379530 lots of options

[green lake]

use norfairs

i'd recomend using his Corev3

since that doesnt add much color

and still gives a nice reshaed

[rich night]

will do, thank you obth

[green lake]

i can also help with any issues you may have

when installing

[rich night]

I think I got it working. I did the new multi and picked "Strategist" as I saw some good things about it, but I will have to play with it for a while to see if I like it to see a variety of locations. Thanks!

[slow star]

If you need more color, go to game settings>graphics>basic light button> increase the saturation slider to your taste

[rich night]

Good to hear, thanks!

[rich night]

Wow I'm seriously at double the FPS (now 80+) with this hotfix plus Norfair's shaders, and the game looks better too.

[green lake]

DSR 4x

turning on reshade kills my frames

no reshade

[quasi hull]

Lol! Dude it looks so good

Your shadows looks amazing!

[fathom wadi]

@slow star Running Core V3 right now and my water is flickering. Have you run into anything like that before?

[green lake]

reshade has nothing to do with that

unless you enabled tfaa and all that

and idk

[fathom wadi]

Ok

[rigid pendant]

Did you turn soft water off by any chance

[fathom wadi]

is that a mod

[rigid pendant]

No it's a graphics settings in game

Hit escape go to settings

Visual > advanced

Scroll to the bottom

Make sure soft water is on

[rigid pendant]

feeling pretty damn good about where the presets getting

[teal apex]

all this beautiful gamma making me jealous

[swift robin]

what reshade?

[livid meadow]

whats the best in game graphics settings to use, i use nofair strategist reshade

[wide dune]

does anyone have hunter 2.0 they can send me?

[wide dune]

thx bro

[compact belfry]

For Norfair's reshade, I'm assuming you disable iSMAA if you have TFAA enabled?

[wet crescent]

I want to backup the reshade presets that come with GAMMA but I can't seem for the life of me to find the folder where they're kept. Does anyone know?

[compact belfry]

Anomaly/bin

no?

that should be where all your reshades are

[misty echo]

they are

[wet crescent]

thanks. I should have looked there XD #noobmoment

[placid falcon]

@green lake beautiful

[green lake]

👍

[wet crescent]

I second that lol

[green lake]

im playing in 4k/2k

[wet crescent]

nice

[placid falcon]

@green lake kewl

[green lake]

in 4k i get like

20 frames

[slow star]

Nope, both enabled

[compact belfry]

gotcha, thanks!

[compact belfry]

Which gamma and color saturation values would you recommend for your presets?

[green lake]

you should probably adjust htem yourself

and see what you like

[compact belfry]

probably yeah

just messing with the gamma mainly because everything gets way too dark once the sun goes down

[green lake]

i think you can change that in settings

[compact belfry]

so like this is early morning

[green lake]

i think that's normal

and the weather is cloudy

and that can make it darker

unless its on clear then idk

[compact belfry]

fair enough

ill keep messing with the settings till I find a nice balance

[compact belfry]

I'm enjoying the Mirage preset.

[clever totem]

mirage?

[cinder bramble]

I'm getting error messages about effects compiling. And no Reshade effects are working.

There's an update available, should I install that or is GAMMA using 5.7 for a reason?

Is there anything else obvious I'm missing that could be causing this?

(unlocked the support channels I should go ask there)

[blazing swallow]

whats best looking AA combo rn? Is it still TFAA + DRME?

[livid meadow]

im only using 20% cpu and 40% gpu and my game runs on like 40-50 frames. nofair reshade, zone reality 0.3, kvmas azetrix textures installed

[slow star]

Immerse SMAA
drme (fullres)
Tfaa(high clamp, high intensity)

[spice herald]

got my dumb little head wrapped around reshading and it was easier than I thought.
am I officially a man now?

didnt wanna go for anything major

anyone know of a good upgraded vanilla model texture mod? I dont want it to be all tacticool, just upgraded qualities

[quasi hull]

#1043020993687474186 message

Great mod pack ^ subtle but upgraded textures

#1143233268595044493 message

Character models ^

[quasi hull]

^

#1162285292070379530 message

Also a very good reshade

[hexed lotus]

FXAA too.?

[rigid pendant]

Better lighting values I think

[wide dune]

this one looks nice

[rigid pendant]

You don't think it's too dark?

It does look nice for sure might try tweaking that version a bit more

[gaunt grail]

some modified corev3

[wide dune]

I think it looks good

[blazing swallow]

Should i disable default SMAA to use immerse one? I guess so, but want confirm

[vernal rose]

Is it possible to upscale from lower res using RSR or FSR to get some extra FPS????

[inland token]

Hey, dumb question perhaps, but is the zone reality 0.2 mod still compatible after the latest update?

(and its reshades)

[frail garden]

Where can I find this core v3 preset all the kids are talkin about

[misty echo]

its included in new update

or #1162285292070379530 message

[rigid pendant]

you like this 1?

The trick is not losing too much ambient lighting but also not making it too dark

trying to find a balance

Definitely think its getting close to being the exact right vibe

Too bright tends to not look realistic but too dark is just pointless cause you're losing visuals, but yeah it's a work in progress

[tawdry folio]

yes, you are using 20% CPU counting all the available cores. GAMMA can't utilize more than one, check the load on Core 0

and while you're at it take the game process off of it

its a 150 years old engine

also, install on a SSD. i wouldnt bother otherwise

there are other ways to optimize how it runs as well. for example grass rendering distance, grass shadows and in-game AA are VERY performance heavy

[livid meadow]

yes i managed to optimise my game by tweakinga few settings, a lot of my issues disappeared after i raised the graphics settings in stalker lol. now im getting over 100fps almost all the time

[astral halo]

FMF from AMD has been sick for fps on games.

[low basin]

Has anyone put a guide together for all the inbuilt reshade options? Or some kind of tier-ranking system?

it's kind of amazing so far to so easily switch between them and see what they bring

[wide dune]

Yes

[ruby wasp]

weird question but did the new GAMMA update change any shaders? i swear my game looks much brighter now

[rigid pendant]

Feel like im on to something here

[winged spoke]

@rigid pendant dude those screenshots look sic af, great job man! did you used something as a template (phrozac v2 for example) or did you made it from scratch?

[tidal phoenix]

Swamp

[wide dune]

thats good to

[raven flower]

Are there any good looking shaders that dont impact frames that much?

[green turtle]

I'm using the CAPA_SPRING reshade, but i notice something like motion blur

I have it disable

Can someone help me?

with reshade on

With reshade off

[kind elbow]

Opinions?

[green turtle]

Stunning dude

Can you share the profile?

[charred leaf]

pls share

[kind elbow]

Not much to share, its actually a personal version of core v3 by norfair. Just add iMMERSE sharpen, Blooming_HDR and FXAA

• points if you use Zone Reality as it compliments it very well

For textures etc

[tawny glen]

Does anyone have good qUINT_ReGrade settings for gamma, a bit more colorful?

[wide garnet]

wich Reshade mod are you using? because i want my game to look like Summer yk more green and stuff

[rigid pendant]

This has been built custom!

[rigid pendant]

I can share the .Ini with you if you would like ☺️

[placid falcon]

@kind elbow fax

The only problem I have is around campfires and occasionally major tree shadows. I get frame flicker

[winged spoke]

Hell yessss!!! Please do, I would be really thankful!

[lost ice]

whats an easy reshader to deal with, ive never looked into it but im interested!

[rigid pendant]

When I get home from work I gotchu!

[rigid pendant]

Pretty much all reshade presets are just plug and play, it's really about finding one that fits your style, although note some are far more performance intensive than others

[lost ice]

You have any personal favorites you'd recommend? Without any worry about performance, I've got a decent rig

[rigid pendant]

I'm bias because I use my own custom reshade, but beyond that I think norfairs core v3 is very nice and so is the hunter reshade

[lost ice]

i think i watched a dude on youtube with the hunter reshade. it looked nice

[rigid pendant]

This is what mines looking like as of the most recent revisions I've made to it

[lost ice]

dang thats looking good

does indoors get pretty dark or is it okay?

[rigid pendant]

Indoors can be pretty dark but like a reasonable amount because dark places should be dark

You should need your flashlight to be able to see in a pitch black lab etc

[lost ice]

true

I dig it, i'll try and get it all set up tonight! thank you!

[rigid pendant]

For sure, if you end up wanting to try out my preset lmk I'll send you the .ini

[lost ice]

Thats awesome, you got pics of your preset or was that pics of it up there?

[rigid pendant]

That was it!

This is norfairs core v3 with the winter grass pack

It's a great vibe for the game

Lots of different vibes for different personal preferences, some people like really vibrant colorful foliage and grass and then others want a bleaker zone

This was one gromov posted and it's like the polar opposite of the one above

Really just depends what you're feeling

[lost ice]

I definently prefer dreary doomer vibes personally lol

[rigid pendant]

Yep for sure, the teletubbies is a great show but I'm not tryna hunt mutants with em

[rigid pendant]

Reshade comes with a set of presets, try out phrozacs grim v2 when you get reshade working, it's very dark and bleak

[slow copper]

Definitely not would I would expect in an irradiated and anomalous zone

[rigid pendant]

Yep it's not my vibe either

[lost ice]

How do i get ahold of your ini file bud!

[rigid pendant]

Sent you a DM

[lost ice]

good deal thank you!

[lost ice]

It's a bit vibrant for me, might have to go darker!

maybe its just the time of day though idk

[rigid pendant]

Let me see if the updated one is any better for ya and then if not I can help you tweak it to make it darker

Ik what you'd have to change

[lost ice]

thats awesome, im all ears!

[rigid pendant]

Is it too much color or just the actual brightness levels

Or both 🤣

Very easily tweakable either way

I'll be on my PC in 10 and I'll help ya

[lost ice]

I would say too much color, lemme show you sids bunker

[rigid pendant]

Yeah that's the old one 🤣

I had to work out why stuff looked like that

Let me get you the updated .Ini to put in the bin and you just replace the old one

[lost ice]

okay sounds good!

[rigid pendant]

Cause yeah I don't like that either 😭

Don't worry

[lost ice]

I'm havin a blast just dickin around with this stuff either way lol

[rigid pendant]

Basically me for the last 5 days

Just scrolling bars and figuring out what they're changing

[lost ice]

It's all good, im playing atm so if i dont respond right away thats why

[rigid pendant]

Updated .ini in your DM, let me know how youre feeling with that one

[lost ice]

thats looking better for sure

I don't have everything cranked up to ultra or nothing but it still looks better than a vanilla situation

[rigid pendant]

Glad to hear! The bunker should also be less pits of hellish

[lost ice]

I'll take a pic after i drop these baditos lol

[rigid pendant]

By quite a bit..

It's honestly just image saturation making some lights in the game EXTREMELY red

Sids bunker, the vendor in the agroprom military spot etc

It's definitely still pretty red and you can turn it down but then the visuals outside that one spot suffer so it's really a measure of how much it bugs you

Yours will look a bit more red than this, ill tell you waht you have to do to make it more like this

[lost ice]

hmmmm, am i doing something wrong lol

[rigid pendant]

no, youre not

its uh

[lost ice]

is it in-game graphic settings you have changed?

[rigid pendant]

a few things i tweaked but instead of me having you change them im just gonna give you another .ini 💀 it should actually be good now

nah it was just reshade stuff

a few values being too high

[lost ice]

reminds me of a morrowind dungeon on the OG Xbox lol

[rigid pendant]

LOL

its insane

its like way too crazy

that acutally looks like the steps down to hell but instead its just sid

[tidal phoenix]

It's personally made

I am still woking on it but here is the settings

[rigid pendant]

you can do that without changing your reshade, in your Mo2 type in 'grass' and reinstall '289 - Grass Tweaks (Reinstall for different options) - Aydin' and select summer or spring for green grass 🙂

you just right click the mod, hit reinstall mod and then just follow the steps in the windows

[lost ice]

im digging this version for sure, gotta look around with it more tho!

[rigid pendant]

Yeee!

[lost ice]

its early morning so its darker atm

its not red anymore!

[rigid pendant]

! Yep

Glad it's feeling better

[rigid pendant]

Definitely striking a solid balance between having good color but not making steps to hell like sids bunker

It is not easy, you make one thing look good and the next thing you know youve created something awful elsewhere 😂

[rigid pendant]

btw you know about being able to change from fall to winter to spring grass etc right, you might really like the dead winter zone

[lost ice]

no i did not know about that, how do you do that?

[rigid pendant]

So if you look in your mod list

and search with the filter thing

in your Mo2 type in 'grass' and reinstall '289 - Grass Tweaks (Reinstall for different options) - Aydin'

right click it, reinstall mod

hit next check the boxes you want, it gives you 4 options between the seasons

and then itll finish, you boot the game up and presto

youve got seasonally different foliage

[lost ice]

aaaah, and it wont effect saves or anything right?

[rigid pendant]

in the 2 pictures above the bottom one is fall and the one above is summer, you can see the variation its pretty nice

nope wont affect anything

[lost ice]

good deal ill have to look into that as well

[rigid pendant]

if youre just ever wondering why some peoples grass looks SO green

that would explain it

Im not a fan of the spring preset it makes things look WAY too lime green

[lost ice]

whats your grass settings at, density and what not

[rigid pendant]

try this

i find its a good balance between performance and looks

[lost ice]

that density looks pretty high lol

[rigid pendant]

people will tell you to crank your grass density way down but then it kills your visuals

whats your specs

for your PC

[lost ice]

hold up lemme double check

[rigid pendant]

kk

unlikely its worse than mine and I get pretty solid frame rate with the density this high tbh

ive got like 2017 hardware

keeping a solid 60 most of the time at 1440p

[lost ice]

im at 70 fps, without the shades on i was at like 90 - 120

[rigid pendant]

Yeah I mean it all depends what framerate you want but for me I need the grass density high cause the patchy dirt density bugs me a lot

[lost ice]

so then whats your render distance?

[rigid pendant]

I'll share in a sec

Rendering object detail and static objects have to be on max or else you start getting bushes and trees popping in

and I cant stand that

[lost ice]

i'd imagine that density with a large distance would wreck the frames lol

[rigid pendant]

yeah you cant have a grass rendering distance much beyond 110

130 if youre feeling frisky but I find 110 covers most of what youll be looking at

the mask overlay tanks ~ 5 fps, but its pretty immersive to have it on so most dont disable it

[lost ice]

I've not made it to Jupiter or anything yet, so idk how those bigger open areas are gonna look

[rigid pendant]

Zaton is probably the zone thats going to be the hardest to have run well while looking visually good

cause its just so open and wide with tons of foliage

on a clear day you can stand on a hill in zaton and look across the whole area*

[lost ice]

thats dope lol

[rigid pendant]

area*

not zone LOL if u could look across the whole zone

computer would spontaneously combustion

[lost ice]

right lol Stalker 2 maybe tho!

theres really good optimizations in here that dont lose you visual fidelity

like the main suggestions are like just straight up disabling mods that make the game look good but theres smaller one that just involve tweaking settings that you should definitely do

Disable ANY overlay (Steam, Nvidia, etc).
🔹Try playing with AVX or without AVX when using DX10 or in DX11 and see what gives you the best framerate. (type !avx in ⁠🤖bot-commands to learn what AVX is)

all of those are like just potential free fps that has no effect on what your game looks like

[lost ice]

ah, i do have nividia going i believe

[rigid pendant]

those are all the suggestions that I think theres 0 reason not to do

[heavy sun]

what's the best performance-friendly AA?

[misty echo]

immersive aa

[heavy sun]

ty

[rigid pendant]

I find reshades FXAA can look pretty good and is very low cost

anything that isnt having to use motion vectors pretty much

[heavy sun]

yeah, in-game AA it's really heavy and SMAA doesn't seem to do much for me tbh

[rigid pendant]

I've just tried combining my fxaa effect with immerse and it's actually really good looking and isn't taxing at all

[winged spoke]

Aight man thanks again!

[rigid pendant]

The file is in your DM ❤️

[winged spoke]

This one?

[green lake]

Stalker: Metro

[dull sleet]

yo king, could i grab that file too?

[rigid pendant]

Fasho! I'll drop ya the file in a sec

[frosty pulsar]

wow your game looks great! excuse the stupid question only started playing that last few days. how did you get it to look so good?

[tidal phoenix]

I think it's finished

between 40-60 fps depending on what you do or where you go

Might get lower idk from what ( Might be the AI doing combat or tasks but that's probably my PC's problem )

[tidal phoenix]

Time for winter I forgot about that mod

[oblique birch]

how do you update the reshade?

[lost ice]

How did you achieve this look?

[tidal phoenix]

Home key

page up turns it on and off
