╟🎑reshades

[nova heart]

which ones are you using? @midnight basin

my goal is to make my game look like yours

[midnight basin]

this is a modified AtmosFILM (comes default with the game)

if you're interested i can show you my complete settings list and everything i did to achieve the effect

[nova heart]

please

[midnight basin]

it'll take a few minutes

never actually did a detailed guide on my settings now that i think about it

this is running very stable by the way, you can get this to look much better if you don't care about performance and only want to take pretty pictures lol

[nova heart]

that is fine. if you want we can go into a vc and talk

lol

[midnight basin]

i'll write it down so i can use it as future reference

[nova heart]

okay!

[green lake]

do not use zone reality

madlab i beg you

please

madlad*

[nova heart]

im scared

[green lake]

im begigng

pleas

[nova heart]

idk whjat to do!

[midnight basin]

kid named editing messages:

[green lake]

do not use zone reality texture pack

its overated

[nova heart]

why

[green lake]

causes lag too

[nova heart]

ah then i wont

[green lake]

its just not as good as aydins grass

[midnight basin]

it is overrated

[nova heart]

ah i will not use it then

[green lake]

if you want it to be green like zone reality

[nova heart]

thank you

[green lake]

use aydins spring grass

:D

[midnight basin]

i'm using spring right

i think my first attempt i accidentally set summer and it was super bright

[pulsar wolf]

My dudes don't even bother with other reshades. Eden's Reshade that comes with GAMMA is baller. This looks fukken GOOD

[green lake]

too dark

too much contrast

ill pass

@nova heart

[nova heart]

oooo

[midnight basin]

there's a bunch of stuff you can do for performance like enabling Low Latency Mode ULTRA and Triple Buffering for GAMMA specifically if you're using an NVIDIA card

this also neglects to mention the affinity script for MO2 that sets your CPU threads up for you properly

[nova heart]

oh heck yeah!

oo thats cool!

thanks man! ill do it now

[midnight basin]

here are a few more preview screenshots for you

you could use some gun reposition mod to make these look even cooler but i never dabbled in this

[nova heart]

i might who nows

knows

[midnight basin]

they're just a pain in the ass to set up

[nova heart]

im amlost done lmao

[midnight basin]

i might be able to send my ReShade preset over

[nova heart]

oh sweet

[midnight basin]

idk if i can just copy the thing and it passes my settings to you

[nova heart]

my game is broken rn

[midnight basin]

what's broken

[nova heart]

wont launch anymorte

[midnight basin]

rip

what did you do

[nova heart]

what you said to do lmao

and now its ot launching

[midnight basin]

yeah but after which part is it not launching anymore

did you install any of the mods?

or disable anything not in that list

[nova heart]

yes

and no

[midnight basin]

have you made sure to disable the mods KVMAS said to disable?

[nova heart]

yes i disabled them

[midnight basin]

here's the preset btw

idk if it retained the custom settings

[nova heart]

idk

its giving me this

[midnight basin]

tell me exactly what you did

you went in-game and changed all the visual settings i assume

settings applied, you were told to restart the game if you changed the grass stuff, then you entered game and it still worked yeah?

[nova heart]

ye

s

its having a problem with a mod

[blazing creek]

i dont think reshades are gonna cause errors like that lol

[nova heart]

it was a few mods i had to install

[midnight basin]

you messed up either DynaHud or KVMAS

[nova heart]

probably

[midnight basin]

because DynaHud has like 3 mod requirements and KVMAS requires you to disable 4-5 mods

yeah we should move to #🔨modded-gamma-support

[gaunt pawn]

What happened to Hippo's Atmo's channel? Just noticed it gone. :/

disregard I found it lol

[somber prairie]

o

[late mist]

can you let me know if that's ok, and if not how can i fix it?

[midnight basin]

@weary rivet

[weary rivet]

yeah thats fine you dont need those

[tidal peak]

Can anybody help me get more than 50 fps and still have reshade because i know that its reshade capping my fps

[swift robin]

can someone guide me to install hd models? just watched something on youtube , that is like 2 mo old and did exactly the same , but it didn`t worked. Help!

[clever totem]

is there a way to have the arena not a portal to the etherial plane?

[green lake]

was your weather foggy

any specific reshade you're using that makes dark areas brighter than usual

[clever totem]

this is with hunter but its like this in vanilla

[green lake]

then ope

you're entering the heavenly planes when you're about to fight for your life

they have the arena set up in the clouds so you have easy travel to heaven

[clever totem]

oh ok

[green lake]

yeah yep

[clever totem]

i was messing with nullmoxy's extraction playtest tho, i glitched out of the hideout room, so no fighting there

[verbal magnet]

where is the drop down menu to select reshades?

[midnight basin]

right here

[midnight basin]

don't use HD Models, revert all the changes you've made and use KVMAS https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1143233268595044493

[swift robin]

uzing kvmas

[midnight basin]

there's a detailed guide on how to install this in the readme file inside the archive

you have to disable about 4-5 mods and also don't select the (01) GBOOBS BWWR patch, use the one in the pins

make sure not to select duplicate optionals

keep KVMAS last on the order list with the GBOOBS patch below it

that should cover it

[rigid pendant]

Would I realistically see any performance increase in gamma upgrading my cpu

[green lake]

probably

[rigid pendant]

Cause I am going to college and can only realistically afford to upgrade either my GPU or mobo/cpu/ ram, and my cpu is 4 core i5 7600k so Its kinda bad LOL

And then I'll upgrade my GPU later this year

I think 1080 is still decent enough if I pair it with a better processor

[green lake]

ywH

[rigid pendant]

Whereas pairing the 7th Gen i5 with a 4070 doesent make much sense to me

[green lake]

yeah

true

[visual axle]

It depends what resolution you play at I don't know how it works with Anomaly engine but basics are higher the resolution higher the GPU bound will be. You can see improvments in 1080p that's for sure but once you hit 1440p or 4K,CPU gets a bit less important

[rigid pendant]

Yeah I'm playing at 1440p, I still need to make the upgrades anyways realistically though and then just slap a new GPU in later this year

I think my case may see some performance atleast just cause I'll be going from a 4 core i5 7600k to a i7 13700kf which is like sooooo much faster but yeah

[past shuttle]

it will for sure. i went from an ryzen 1800x to an ryzen 5700x and it brought me something like 15 fps on a gtx 1080 @1440 . With my last upgrade to the 4070 RTX it doubled my fps. Now i have roundabout 80-100 fps on a really nice custom setting with reshade. Without Reshade FPS peak around 130-140 @1440.

[rigid pendant]

Sounds perfect 15-20 fps boost would be lovely til I can slap a better GPU in later this year

The difference between 45 fps and 60 for me is massive, and it just sets me up nice spec wise for a GPU upgeade

[rigid pendant]

Would Ryzen maybe be a good option for myself? Like the new AM5 platform for futureproofing, get something like a 7700x with some new DDR5 ram and slap a 4070 TI in it later this year or something

Or do you think id be better off going intel 🤷

[shy hazel]

Does anyone have a link for RAW Reshade?

[past shuttle]

I took the ryzen 5700x because i had the AM4 Plattform already and it was the best pick for me at this time. If i had to start from scratch i would take the 7800x3D and AM5 but thats just me. I think the Intel 13700k would be great aswell for you. GPU wise you should wait for the 4xx0 Super refresh which is coming in January and see what it brings.

[mint owl]

Updated my preset to the LUT standards

[idle talon]

It looks really nice = )

[long dune]

CAN WE GET TO PLAY WITH THEM ??

[mint owl]

Thank you 💙

[mint owl]

Currently checking with Norfair for a tweak or two but I intend to release very soon for sure, my old preset present in Gamma is severely outdated and quite frankly not good at all

[long dune]

i have one question bro will you help me ?

[mint owl]

Depends, what can I do ?

[long dune]

like i want to know how you guys make game brown like in the photos i have seen

[long dune]

my whole game is in blue nd green shade i want something like

[mint owl]

Are you using default Gamma ? Any custom reshade ?

On pictures above I'm merely using the Autumn coming from default Gamma, the rest is the Reshade preset

The one effect that makes it browner by default is called Glamarye with Fake GI

[long dune]

i am using zone 3.0 nd some reshade but all reshades are same

[mint owl]

Then the problem might come from how Zone 3.0 is setup, it uses green vegetation if I remember correctly

[long dune]

these reshades

but none of them have brown type of a them ?

[long dune]

whats the solution then ??

i want my game to look like this

[mint owl]

A reshade will only improve what's already there, meaning you will never get the brown color with Zone 3.0 by default, if anything, you can ask on their page in this server https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1153770802819383346

You can also try to reinstall Aydin's grass tweaks (in your MO2 list) and select Autumn, making sure it's loaded after Zone Reality, but that might not work since I don't play with it I have no idea

Lastly, the screenshot you're showing is rather green, since it looks like the Summer version of Aydin's grass

[long dune]

my game likes like this

[mint owl]

Yup, that's Zone Reality, green by default, so either try reinstalling Aydin's grass, Autumn version and load it after, or ask them there for any way to do it I guess

[long dune]

ok i have reinstalled it let me check now

[mint owl]

Delete shader cache folder in your appdata folder if it doesn't work and see again

Also make sure it's loaded after Zone Reality in MO2

[long dune]

After loaded means ?

[mint owl]

In MO2 you put it after/below Zone Reality

[long dune]

ohh ok

you mean order wise

[mint owl]

Yup

[long dune]

grass tweak is in game fixes nd zone reality 3.0 is in Gamma disable

is it fine @mint owl

[mint owl]

You don't have to disable it if you want to keep it, just make sure that in the order, Grass Tweaks comes after Zone Reality

It has to be lower, the category doesn't matter much

[long dune]

can you come it VC i'll show you their

on screen share

[mint owl]

I can, I will just be on mobile

[long dune]

fine you can see my screen right now mobile

[mint owl]

Yup but I won't be able to talk vocally

[mint owl]

Not good, Grass Tweaks is still above

Yup

Now it's good

Try to check now

Just delete the shader cache before maybe

Not like that

In appdata is the proper way to do it, this method you used can be buggy

!shader

[void depot]

@mint owl 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.

[mint owl]

If it doesn't work then you'll have to ask on the section I linked above for Zone Reality 3.0

Worst case scenario, try to disable Zone Reality and see

[long dune]

This one is it default textures ?

[mint owl]

Default in Gamma is Autumn

[stable nest]

Some of mine reshade tweaks

[mint owl]

Looks great, if only Abnormal Weathers was more consistant between cycles

[stable nest]

Abnormal is perfect for taking screenshots, that's the only reason to use it

[mint owl]

Definitely so, maybe someday there will be a gameplay + screenshots revised version

[echo socket]

What's the recommended Reshade preset to use?

I am using Aydin's Spring-grass

[midnight basin]

there is none, check out the pinned preset database and decide for yourself

or you can check out #╟📸screenshots and ask people what they're using if you like what you see

[robust nebula]

Why does my reshade presets don't really change the colors that much?

It changes the effects like sharpness, depth of field and etc, but colors do not really change that much

[robust nebula]

I want to make it vibrant and stuff

[teal dagger]

Hello! I been trying to reshade my game for some time, I installed a few mods like zone reality, kvmas, ultimate gun pack + its balanceed verison and everything works fine so far. I follow each step to the Tee but for some reason...everything looks...grey? Its hard to discribe what Im seeing but its not "clear" its patchy or sth.

Sorry forgot to mention that I been messing around with the reshade, norfair in particular. I tried resetting the reshader foldeer but it still looks...off

[robust nebula]

Why does my game look bland? I've tried reshade but the colors are not changing that much unlike those that I see on youtube that also use the same reshade preset.

[long dune]

I can help

[robust nebula]

What do I do? I was told to try reinstalling enhanced shaders in MO2

[robust nebula]

What reshade preset do you use and how are is your grass green, mine is brown.

[stray zodiac]

is there a low fps reshade built in gamma?

im on a handheld and need some low graphics

[mint owl]

The reality is all about editing, youtube videos are made to be as pretty as possible, ingame you won't have the same results. Colors are also very time and weather dependent, and you can always bump up the saturation in the game base settings or modify the Reshade yourself

[mint owl]

You can use Norfair's multi LUT based Reshade, that's very lightweight, otherwise, as in built in Gamma I don't know if it's in or not

[stray zodiac]

how do i grab that?

[mint owl]

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

[stray zodiac]

the corev3 thingo comes with gamma built in, is that the same thing or am i dumb

[mint owl]

Yup, same thing, but use the < > on that one if you can to change presets

[stray zodiac]

ok i just unticked all the reshade thingos and now im ettin 55fps

thatll do haha

in rookie village

not bad for a handheld

[mint owl]

Try reducing grass density and draw distance in the game settings for more fps

[long dune]

you have to reinstall one mod for that

reinstall this mod @robust nebula haan delete shader cache when you will reinstall this mod you will have optionn for selecting grass you can get what ever type you want

[midnight basin]

@slow star i'd like to DM you, can you send me a friend request? thanks

this is to do with visual game optimization

[robust nebula]

Yep I already did that! I solved it, grasses are greener now, thank you!

[long dune]

your welcome

[tacit bramble]

Quick question is it possible to run Gamma with decent graphics and over 100 fps wit a 1660 and an i5 10400F

[snow pasture]

no

[tacit bramble]

ok

[atomic meadow]

reshade is dead ? i can't use a shader in my game ...

[thorny vortex]

read the most recent announcement

[keen wasp]

How to reactivate?

[thorny vortex]

uncheck all the the boxes and hit install/update in launcher. that "should" add it back

[keen wasp]

thnx mate, ill try

[atomic meadow]

work for me thanks you 🙏

[pulsar wolf]

This won't reinstall everything right? I just finished re-enabling all the mods I used to have on Mod Organizer

[pulsar wolf]

Yep it made a new profile

fuck.

[rigid pendant]

Well that was one way to find out

[pulsar wolf]

Oh well, no pain no gain

[uncut wraith]

im confused

will reshade be useless when the next atmos update comes out..?

because im playing without reshade rn and the game looks like hot ass

[thorny vortex]

you wont need reshade for any color grading after those mods update but its still good for using effects like TFAA, Deband, MXAO, Fake GI, Bloom, Vignette, Ambient light, Etc

[raw vigil]

So.. "we're removing reshade by default" but also "reshade is still good to use for certain things"?

[past lava]

Yes, Grok states that the upcoming versions of atmospherics and Screen Space Shaders will produce such good visuals that FPS-intensive features like reshade will be unnecessary for the majority of players.

Players looking for the specific suite of features reshade provides will probably still hold onto reshade for the time being.

[raw vigil]

Interesting, thanks for the info

[fast lily]

the reshade menu keybind isnt wokring

anyone know why

[robust wren]

Same here i think its been removed for now

[rigid pendant]

//Reshade has not been removed, if you updated to the new launcher today, the update has ticked 'Delete Reshade DLLs' in the launcher in preparation of future updates to shader mods that will no longer require G.A.M.M.A to come with Reshade.
if you want to continue using reshade:
Open G.A.M.M.A Launcher as Admin and untick ALL the boxes on the left and hit install/update G.A.M.M.A*
After it finished and you boot up the game you should be able to hit Home and access your reshade settings and presets\

[odd creek]

or just reinstall reshade that also works

[rigid pendant]

bottom line is, YO RESHADES AINT GONE

🙂 have fun love u all

[tepid sleet]

Will it do the same if I'll do full fresh reinstall and just untick Delete Reshade DLLs?

[rigid pendant]

Yeah that would do the same thing it'd just take longer cause it's having to do the major files etc, but you don't need to do that if you've already updated to the Christmas update today / yest

[robust nebula]

How do you install reshade presets, First I need to drop the .ini file right? Then copy and paste the shaders and textures folder. However, if it asks because of duplicates, what do I do?

[hidden carbon]

Overwrite them

[robust nebula]

But when I overwrite them, it ruins my other presets.

[inner ingot]

can i use my old save after the update?

[hidden carbon]

In what way ? If you have duplicates you can manually delete them

[mint owl]

No need to overwrite

[marsh mural]

supposedly

[tropic vale]

Im getting an error in reshade that some effects cant be loaded. Where is the log and how can I fix it?

[tropic vale]

Found the log

quint rtgi is the problem.

among other shaders...

[tropic vale]

Also TFAA with DRME is not working (not doing anything).

[midnight basin]

you have to make sure that DRME is directly about TFAA on the list

you will surely notice a 10+ FPS impact

[cloud gulch]

download the preset and put it in the bin folder

[inland mural]

so with the current update is said that reshade will be built into SSS in the next update right?

im gussing it will help with FPS and better visuals but do we know when this might be?

[steep bridge]

reshade will be removed by default with the next update, as it's said it wont be needed on new versions of atmospherics and SSS

[tropic vale]

@midnight basin it is directly above.

[tropic vale]

Tfaa does nothing

[midnight basin]

you don't think this has something to do with your effects each getting a duplicate and some completely not working?

fix your effect directories lol

[tropic vale]

How?

[midnight basin]

remove the ** directory and switch to single effects

let me get on my PC real quick

[tropic vale]

Thank you. Since I started playing gamma, many things are new to me.

Many, many things. And I considered myself computer savvy...

[midnight basin]

also ensure that you don't accidentally have duplicates in these directories

i don't know if it'll fix your issue but i know for a fact getting duped effects is not normal @tropic vale

[tropic vale]

Got rid of many dupes. Shiuld there be files in shaders folder, or just folders?

Some of the files that turn up red have only one copy. What do I do with those?

[tropic vale]

What do these warning mean? Can the warning with TFAA be why it doesn't seem to work?

[outer fiber]

GUYS PLEAS HOW CAN I REENABLE RESHADE ?

[brave crescent]

Reupdate game without option ticked so launcher download missing files?

[marble relic]

What does redline and depthhaze do exactly?

[rigid pendant]

Adding these to the database ❤️

[amber trout]

found these screenshots from ages ago, wish I remeber the reshade i was on 😥

[mortal shuttle]

maybe one of phrozac's

[slender oracle]

First one is Phrozac Zone79. Already shipped with GAMMA

[uncut steppe]

Just to make sure, is reshade already installed? Theres some files in the anomaly bin, but somebody else said to install it in there

[thorny vortex]

as of the christmas update "delete reshade DLL" is checked in the launcher by default, so unless you unchecked the box, reshade is removed. you would need to run the launcher again without that box ticked.

[uncut steppe]

So I uncheck the box, and then I should be able to open the thing?

[thorny vortex]

you need to uncheck it and click install/update again.

[uncut steppe]

It's installing a whole bunch of stuff. Is that normal?

Welp, gona go eat some food until that's done

[cobalt parrot]

yeah I was about to say that color grading is def z79, it's burned into my memory

[uncut steppe]

What do I do now? Can I just load in and open it? I think it was the home button? And do I delete the shader cache?

[thorny vortex]

just load in and see if home key works

[uncut steppe]

It does

[uncut steppe]

What do I do now? Is there an instruction manual somewhere? I usually just fuck around and find out, but I'd rather not here

Or, just tell me what to do if you don't mind

oh my fuck this is beautiful

[thorny vortex]

for making a reshade preset? if you use the dropdown box you will see presets that gamma includes. you can also go to this link for other gamma based community reshade presets - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1psiAYFNaGSYs2j5Gbd6p67SyVi6PQvhr9vSUOiyFATw/edit?usp=sharing

[uncut steppe]

Alright, thanks for the help!

[tidal stratus]

HOW DO I ACTIVATER RESHADE

srry caps

[thorny vortex]

hit home key in-game for the menu to come up

[willow bough]

Hi, I have some strange dark effect in corners and I don't know how to fix it. Any ideas?

[verbal dust]

sss19 has just been updated

[stray zodiac]

So I should leave remove reshades ticked now?

if i've got a decent rig and I want the best loooking game, should i keep reshades?

[tawdry sky]

how do i see if my reshade works ? xDf

[marble relic]

Keep reshades. Untick delete dll when updating. If you are in game, hit the HOME key. If nothing happens, update your game again with the delete dll unticked. Then try again. Select a reshade option from the drop down menu on the top. I don't think the next SSS update is out yet. Either way, reshade allows for more customization. @stray zodiac @tawdry sky

[tawdry sky]

i got the SSS so i just use the anomaly exe in the folder right ?

[marble relic]

To check to see if reshade works hit the home key while in game. If a window pops up it's working. If nothing happens update your game again through the gamma launcher with delete dlls unticked. Then try again.

[tawdry sky]

alright

[stray zodiac]

whats everyones fav reshade that comes with gamma?

[tawdry sky]

reshade opens now on pos1

[red jay]

hey, would anyone know what to do if i checked the delete dll's box but decided that i want the shaders back?

[marble relic]

Re update with delete dll unticked

[red jay]

thank you sm @marble relic

[marble relic]

All of them are really personal taste. I personally like capa reshade. I've been working on my own from capa's template. You can download different ones from the community spreadsheet. Just drop the .ini file into the anomaly/bin folder.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1psiAYFNaGSYs2j5Gbd6p67SyVi6PQvhr9vSUOiyFATw/edit?usp=sharing

[lusty acorn]

How do i make my own reshade from scratch? Or i just load some reshade and play with options in HOME menu?

[balmy knoll]

How do i access the Hunter Reshade?

[rigid pendant]

Check the reshade database, Author : Jaeger

[midnight basin]

@gaunt grail please for the love of all that is holy restrict the editing of the document to just a select few members, we've been undoing damage from random people whose mouse drifted or the delete key was pressed by accident for weeks now

[midnight basin]

Capa Reshade except it's been down for two days since some dumbass deleted the download link

had to fix everything again lmao

[gaunt grail]

dm me a list of editors I locked it down for now. I’m far away from my computer

[shut shell]

Anyone know why i cant acces the Shader menu by pressing HOME

[marble relic]

Update gamma again with the delete dll unticked. Everyone has been asking this the last few days. Even I.

[shut shell]

I had to reinstall everything after I tried updating earlier. I hope it doesnt break it again but ill try.

[marble relic]

On the top of the reshade menu you can create template or something like that based off of one of the other reshades. It might be in the gamma folder. Just copy it into the anomaly bin folder. You can see the paths for folders in the settings section. You can rename it too. I've been figuring stuff out myself. There could be a better way.

My explanation is shit too right now. Just woke up.

[marble relic]

Do we need to do this? Isn't the current update giving us the new sss?

[viscid rover]

nah, i was just seeing if i did anything wrong

i was updating from an older version and it had 1.18 installed, so i had to remove it for 1.19 to properly work

[dusk peak]

I need to delete the mod from the folder and it will download the new version ?

[tropic vale]

Do we need to tick top 3 in launcher for it to update to newest sss? Or just untick everything and update?

[tropic vale]

And what do these warnings mean?

[rustic cape]

so with the new reshade version shouldnt grass and trees be schmovin? and if so how do i enable this

[midnight basin]

i believe you're referring to SSS, they're not the same thing

they're also incompatible(?)

which is i believe why ReShade is automatically deleted with the new update

[thorny vortex]

not incompatible, just not entirely needed for the average gamma user since SSS19 and Atmos 2.3 added great new features. still can be used for AA, AO, Etc

[midnight basin]

that's good to know, thanks for the correction

[rustic cape]

you right, but still anyone know how to activate it?

[thorny vortex]

download the Exes that released hours ago. official SSS19 support now. grok hasnt updated gamma exes yet.

[rustic cape]

gotcha

[tropic vale]

How do we install it?

its this right?

[thorny vortex]

yes but, until grok updates gamma exes manually install new ones from link above

[tropic vale]

Thank you

[rustic cape]

ill just wait for daddy grok to update, i dont need fancy tree physics

[tropic vale]

@thorny vortex Just copy paste the folders into anomaly directory?

from the modded exes

file

[thorny vortex]

yes, copy into anomaly game folder. 28 overwrites i think.

[thorny vortex]

should be very soon

[tropic vale]

Yo this is some next level shit. Amazing work.

[quiet imp]

how to fix the white skybox? pls help a brother out. feel like i tried everything for my knowledge

[quasi hull]

Fresh install of new update?

I would check your render distance, and if that’s normal maybe delete shaders cache

[quiet imp]

ye i basically updated or tried to fix all the errors and shader problems i had every free min i had today

now everything works without crashes and looks amazing but the sky, its driving me crazy 💀

[quasi hull]

Hmm try playing in debug and mess with the weather settings. Put it on clear and see if it’s still foggy

[prisma nexus]

Same issue. Tried the fixes, no luck. But everything that should be here after the update is here

[quasi hull]

Did you update gamma as administrator?

[prisma nexus]

Yes

[quiet imp]

yes ofc, its gotta be something with the atmospheric and sss update today

[prisma nexus]

But I haven't tried deleting the other SSS versions from the downloads since the newest hotfix

[quasi hull]

This was what I did, I had 2 sss folders. Deleted both then dropped the new one in

[prisma nexus]

Just checked, they aren't there. Just the up-to-date one. So it must have stuck from when I did it earlier. But I will retry the direct download again

[quasi hull]

Yeah, just remember don’t extract the folder into downloads

Let launcher do it when you hit update

[velvet sierra]

why is sss 18.0 version ticket in gamma it should be 19 right?

[quasi hull]

Yes, you can do it manually or wait for grok to update

[velvet sierra]

i thought he did already

[prisma nexus]

Still getting the white skies. It’s designed to work with reshade, isn’t it?

[quasi hull]

I don’t think it’s going to use reshade like we’ve been using. I could be wrong.
My impression was it’s going to all be adjustable through SSS

Or atleast reshade will not be necessary

[stray hatch]

Well it was never necessary, and mainly from what I understand the updates to SSS and atmospherics mainly mean you'll need to use reshade for less rather than not at all

[chilly flare]

with these new updates of sss and atmospherics being bundled in, will reshade still be required? havent checked in in a while

[prisma nexus]

Either way, I’m testing different reshade options to see if maybe one of the active dlls is causing the overbright sky for me

So now it looks fine, I guess it was only getting like that for cloudy weather

[prisma nexus]

The AmbientLight dll in particular is a big offender

[cursive wedge]

Should I still be using reshade now with the new sss and atmo?

[rigid pendant]

Well I don't think the game looks very good without it so I probably will be for now, until theres a better guide for how to make new SSS stuff look good

Feels like I'm missing something here

[slow star]

@cobalt parrot Thanks for the video on xmas ❤️
I was thinking for future vids, what if you remove, or move around, the "faction identification" mod hud elements from the MCM menu?
This is just something that would align a little bit better with your general font placement theme, imo. (or to add to that "unique" factor).

top is og, the rest are some random general variations.
To "remove" the faction ident overlays, I move them on X axis to -100 or smth. otherwise, +

[cobalt parrot]

dude this is awesome

honestly I didn't even know I could do this :<

100% trying it for next time, thank you for looking out <3

[slow star]

You got it!☕Merry xmas🎅

The faction ident mcm menu is kinda wonky, i had to tinker with it a little to understand it

[rigid pendant]

Norfair what are you using as of today's updates? Reshade/no reshade? Just SSS + in game settings?

Sorry for the ping just curious cause ik you were excited for the updates

[slow star]

Yeah I haven't touched the game yet, just updated to the last version!

[rigid pendant]

Ok let me know what you find looks / runs well and of course merry xmas!

!

[cobalt parrot]

merry Xmas to you too!

[slow star]

Will do, merry xmas to you too!!

[tall spruce]

Yo, not good at this bit but I cannot for the life of me get the game to look normal with this update

Skies are hella bright once I do cfg_load atmos

NVGs are borked

Water (like lakes) is white AF

No idea how to use SSS

[rigid pendant]

Feel that

Lol

[cunning gazelle]

is RTGI gone in the newest update? Loaded Atmos R++ and don't see the effect anywhere..

[quasi hull]

@cunning gazelle Cfg_atmos
went thru the lumscale options to make shadows look good.
trying to figure out r__color_grading
Not sure how it works just yet

[manic sage]

Guys it’s really simple as far as setting up atmospherics

Install ES like so

Sss under that

And then atmospherics

No need to fiddle around

[quasi hull]

no reshade, only SSS settings

[quasi hull]

Color graded tho ^

[light valley]

So with the new updates, the 'Home' button (for me at least) no longer opens the reshade configuraiton menu. Is this supposed to be the case? (seems like it from Grok's notes on the update from a few days ago). If it is, what do I need to do to regain that capability? I would like to enable some PostFX anti-aliasing

[quasi hull]

#1036172060969410590 message

@light valley

[thorny vortex]

run gamma launcher again but uncheck the "delete reshade DLL" box. hit install/update. can uncheck all boxes to do update faster.

[light valley]

I just tried that, but no dice. Currently attempting method Max recommended with reinstalling ES, SSS, and Atmospherics Manually

If it gets borked, I will do a fresh install. I don't have a current save file I am looking after

[thorny vortex]

those have nothing to do with reshade

[light valley]

I see that. Well the reinstall must have worked then because we're back in business

[celest ingot]

someone having this problem with lightining strike during storm? i updated the game via new launcher, and deleted shader caches
in other weather scenarios its fine, but with storm 1 and 2 this happend

[undone stump]

hello, you guys still need reshade post-newest update ? the graphics went insane already, idk still need reshade or not lol

[rigid pendant]

I still find I need it to get the right color grading / anti aliasing

I'm confused how people are getting good visuals without reshade, what is handling aliasing etc?

[quasi hull]

Doing this allowed reshade back for me

[rigid pendant]

Yeah I'm using it, I was just curious what people are talking about when they say they don't need reshade after the update lol, without reshade everything is washed out, jagged edges etc

Makes me think my SSS didn't update properly or something

Although I can see the new options in the SSS menu so

Just gonna keep using reshade for now

[quasi hull]

So I manually messed with SSS setting in game but I believe doing this is what does that for you.

@rigid pendant

[rigid pendant]

Yeah I did that, didn't do anything as far as I can tell, still produced far better results visually with reshade

[quiet imp]

still couldnt fix the white sky texture and extremely bright shading. did a full reinstall. Anyone knows a fix?

[muted rivet]

DAMN with the new sss update and just with gtr optimized and film reshade, it already make the game look so great

But i notice the lighting is so bright compare to old sss or is that a bug with me

reshade dont affect the lighting when emission over with the sun, i try turn on few reshade

[timid iron]

Is there a way to get the white fps counter in the top right? I can't access my reshade menu as I can't use the home key

[muted rivet]

try tick off the delete reshade dll and update again

cus it delete your reshade

[tropic vale]

If we don't "need" reshade, and the suggestion is to use luts - how do I use luts without reshade?

[timid iron]

I can't use my home key :( how do I access it without one?

[tropic vale]

@quiet imp Are you sure its not just cloudy weather? I had that too, went into weather settings and saw cloudy was set to regular. I changed it to rare and it seems fine now.

[quiet imp]

the horizon and most of the sky is literally just a blank white texture.

[celest ingot]

still no suggestion how to solve this? 😄

[tropic vale]

Did you do the manual exe install?

Btw - how do I use luts without reshade (2nd try)?

[celest ingot]

nope i updated the game via the new launcher, and than waited for groks to update the game again for sss, deleted reshade folder did nothing, with reshade did nothing, did not touched any graphics option. this happend only when there's a storm

[tropic vale]

I was actually talking to @celest ingot , but you should try the manual exe install too. Its the holidays and people are trying to holiday, so you should try the method that will ensure its installed correctly (until grok does it). I had some graphical issues before going the manual route. I hope this helps.

[slow star]

@rigid pendant tried the new sss19+atmos, looks amazing, im gonna ditch reshade

i get like 2ms + 15 fps extra w/o reshade so it's a no brainer for me. Regarding your aliasing question, for me at least it gets fixed with nis scaling work to 90% or smth

[green lake]

im finally unmuted

[slow star]

Try increasing the values in the ao and sss .h files, that stuff can replace mxao grass looks entirely

[green lake]

cant you get mxao with just grass shadows

pretty much

(send over the settings when you're done)

https://streamable.com/2duyxa

[slow star]

Yeah you're right, but i'm checking if the ao module works the same way if tweaked (and with less frame consumption)

just in case

[green lake]

yeah i havent tried tweaking anything yet

just volumetric light

[prisma nexus]

I’d also try tuning the basic light settings from the settings menu. I know atmos has fairly high values by default

[calm jasper]

Why does 'home' button not bring up the reshade menu for me?

[green lake]

the recent update delets reshade by default

you'll have to reinstall it

[calm jasper]

ah, thx mate

[green lake]

make sure to not tick the "delete reshade dlls" in the launcher

[calm jasper]

I could have swore that the recent update specifies TO DO that, no?

[green lake]

its not required

[calm jasper]

cheers

[tacit saffron]

asking because theres a lot of chat the past hours: so with the new update reshade being removed, how can i activate norfairs reshade (for example core v3) so i can use fxaa, holefiller and so on? without the game is useless for me to play

do I just download reshade, place it in folder and place norfair in there?

[tacit saffron]

yea because grok recommended it I did it 😦

[tacit saffron]

nis scaling? explain please. the fps increase is huge yes, but the AA sucks without fxaa, holefiller etc.

[sour chasm]

Nvidia image scaling

it's essentially like budget DSLR or FSR, upscaling a lower resolution to your natural resolution

you can enable it in Geforce Experience globally or on a per-application basis through nvidia control panel

I was using it before this update to good effect but now I can play at 2k with just a bit of AA and it looks just as good + gives me more frames than I did before with 85% scaling and TFAA + DRME

actually just quint motion vectors + TFAA without the DRME give really nice AA without any blur and frames are still good even at 2k

[long dune]

can you share which option it is ??

[sour chasm]

and in nvidia control panel

It wont let me snip it but there's a drop down menu for Image Scaling that lets you adjust sharpening as well. I usually set it low like 10% or turn it off completely and use a sharpen in reshade.

[tropic vale]

Suggestions about basic light settings? Darks are way too overbearing.

[sour chasm]

I feel like that's going to depend on the type of monitor you have and whether its own color and brightness settings are properly set up

I have an IPS panel so I like my darks dark. I use HDR (FakeHDR.fx) with SharpContrast with either a .9-1 gamma, 1-1.1 brightness and something like 1.3 saturation

[quasi hull]

In mcm Grass shadows Non-directional shadows ( Flashlights, Bonfires, etc. ) are enabled in the ULTRA quality. Looks very good

SSS^

[quasi hull]

Also, shadows/volumetric maxed

[gilded ermine]

Anyone know how to fix this?

https://i.imgur.com/3HuomHL.jpeg

I did a clean reinstall recently for the new update, and made sure I cleared my reshade stuff before adding Zone Reality and stuff and the reshade presets I like and I'm unclear why it throws me errors now

I'm thinking this must be an incorrect path to the shaders because I havent touched reshade itself

Though the compile errors dont indicate it's file path but something with the files and identifiers, idk, this was fine a while back and now I'm not sure why it's happening

[midnight basin]

btw @slow star @green lake @rigid pendant @weary rivet if you guys need to make changes to the reshade document you should either DM sunn so he gives you access or you can ping/DM me because i already have it

[midnight basin]

check the shader paths under the settings and make sure there are no duplicates

it should only be reshade-shaders\Shaders

and if you want TFAA then that with "\TFAA" at the end

[green lake]

ok

[gilded ermine]

oh it does appear to be looking in both the overall Shaders folder and some subfolders

I'm assuming it only needs the one place to look then?

https://i.imgur.com/cKmWiOn.png

[midnight basin]

remove everything that is not Shaders and see if that helps

if you break something i'll just show you what my paths with no errors look like

[cunning gazelle]

was able to dial in a new Atmos R++ preset, tweaked basic light settings to let reshade have finer control over the exposure, and contrast, messed with HDR and added RTGI. Using all the volumetrics

[gilded ermine]

Yea still failing to compile, weird

all of them just throw me this

https://i.imgur.com/WxLiuuK.png

[feral grail]

sorry, if I have an FHD monitor, will scalling nvidia give me some kind of quality boost?

[cunning gazelle]

the new update didnt give me RTGI either. If you look its technically locked behind Marty's patreon, wonder if that had anything to do with it? had to get it off github

[gilded ermine]

Thing is I think this happened before I updated and I didnt notice because I wasn't using reshade to test some stuff

its only now I have to like, fix it because it's annoying the hell out of me

huh

the phroZac presets also dont work now

what in gods name

[feral grail]

@sour chasm

[gilded ermine]

oh thats the Lut effect doing that, it just makes my screen black, huh

[quiet imp]

does anyone know how to fix the super bright shading and white skyboxes? first pic is a lightning strike

the only way i ''fixed'' it is by using this weather setting in debug

[sour chasm]

It's not going to improve image quality, it's for performance really, and I can't vouch for using it on scalings below 1080 so ymmv

[sour chasm]

that shot with the detector out looks incredible

[gilded ermine]

Ok, this has to be human error, because I just compared my reshade textures and shaders to the ones Gamma provides and I am straight missing things it's looking for, I think this needs to be cleaned from 0

Yep, solved it

It appears the install instructions for Zone Reality 0.3 will cause this, idk how, but if you follow the steps to ensure no duplicate shaders you will just be missing stuff, probably age, stuffs probably been updated since

Just DepthAlpha not compiling and I think that's meant to happen

[cunning gazelle]

Go make sure you have enhanced shaders installed correctly with the right packages. Hippobot posted last night a picture in atmospherics channel showing the correct way to install/reinstall. Enhanced shaders was not even ticked for me with the new update... Then from there upon loading in type cfg_load atmos into console, after it loads tweak your basic light settings, then shadows and lighting in SSS, and then finally any reshade effects you want to use.

[prisma nexus]

I put everything at 1 and it looks fine for me, but I use a reshade on top of that. So your mileage may vary a little bit

[wicked jewel]

Could this improve performance?

[sour chasm]

You're basically running it at a lower render resolution so yes it will improve performance

And with some AA from reshade overtop it won't look terrible

[wicked jewel]

I tried and my fps dropped

im just desperate at this point i tried everything

[sour chasm]

What resolution are you running at

You shouldn't be losing frames from running a lower resolution

[wicked jewel]

1920x1080

its just that, in intensive place like rostok my gpu usage drops

and my fps drops to 55-60 while in non intensive scenarios i get 90-100 fps

[sour chasm]

I mean some areas are always going to take a frame hit. You can always try resetting your graphic/visual settings to default.

[wicked jewel]

I'll try

[quasi hull]

@wicked jewel lower your grass shadow settings and make sure the in-game AA is off

[wicked jewel]

I don't have grass im running inverno without grass for performance

AA is off

avx is off because i get more fps core 0 is off

no reshade

[quasi hull]

And you get under 60 fps?

[wicked jewel]

in rostok yes

in other places without a big load of npcs i can get 90-95

[quasi hull]

Weird, you know what I used to run winter on my gamma back in the day and it would always crash in rostok. I’d check inverno chat to see if anyone has a similar problem

[midnight basin]

this is natural, you're CPU bound in those areas because of the alife, the only fix to that is using the Dynamic Despawner to lower alife or the "Turn this on if you stutter" mod

all of those graphics tweaks won't do

it's specifically the NPCs that are causing drops in frames in populated areas like Yanov

[wicked jewel]

already tweaked the turn this on and the dynamic despawner

[midnight basin]

you may also turn off Dynamic Combat in Settings but that is not recommended

[wicked jewel]

i got 30 npcs from 40 that they used to be on stock

[wicked jewel]

i saw it was for really bad cpus

r3700x shouldn't be that bad i hope

[midnight basin]

it's for really bad everything lol it makes the game far less fun

i wouldn't use it

but if it bothers you that much then yeah

for reference i'm getting 110-120 FPS in emptier maps and then drop all the way to 61 and such in Jupiter

that's just the reality of it

[wicked jewel]

welp i guess my pc suffers from the so called "skill issue"

[midnight basin]

nah it's the case for everyone

that's like saying "well why do i drop frames when using 3D scopes"

everyone does

framerate gets cut in half

[quasi hull]

Yeah 60 fps is pretty normal for me . It’s definitely not consistent fps

[sour chasm]

17 year old engine problems

[wicked jewel]

ok thanks to everyone, i guessi just have to live with the bother

I will accept the fate of mine

[quasi hull]

I tend to have my mouse sens lower to not notice it as much haha

[sour chasm]

The fact that I can get the performance I do with the game looking this good on such an old engine is absolute witchcraft

[midnight basin]

yeah

[wicked jewel]

Graphically talking now, does this look great?

or should i tweak somethin?

[quasi hull]

Exactly, we basically have stalker 2 with where we’re at, stalker 2 can flop and I wouldn’t be upset cause we always have gamma

[sour chasm]

Yeah actually lol

[quasi hull]

Go to a more lit up area? I feel like I can’t see that well what it’s needing

[sour chasm]

Honestly as long as the base game of Stalker 2 is reasonably stable it could be total ass and I wouldn't care because it would just be 6 months before we got Gamma in Stalker 2 lol

[quasi hull]

Yeah like I’m more excited for what the modders do with that engine

[sour chasm]

Samesies

I mean actually I want to see if their vision for the game aligns with how things have been done in Gamma. Like if they just looked at Gamma and the things we love about it and made those the new standard for the base game. But I won't be heartbroken if it's not because we'll just make it that anyways.

[midnight basin]

we basically have stalker 2 with where we’re at
don't let anybody outside this community hear you say that

or hell even people here

[quasi hull]

I guess what I mean by that is looking at base anomaly and where we are with gamma now it’s a significant jump in graphics quality

[midnight basin]

yo @green lake are you using Meowie's reposition?

i saw you were active in the thread

[green lake]

i was

im making my own reposition now

[midnight basin]

could you take a look at my mod load order list and tell me if i would be fine to run it?

i'm struggling to understand those obtuse fucking instructions

[green lake]

its simple

anyinth with uhh

[Reposition]

before it

wait no

[Reanimation]

Goes first

then

anything with

[Repositoin]

after

then any scope overhaul and patches

[midnight basin]

i put all the new guns and reanimations into New Additions and then made a new separator called Repositions above GAMMA Combat

is that right

that is not simple at all mf that's like 40 different things that i need to take into account

what about the existing EFP repositions or whatnot

do i need to consider those

[wicked jewel]

@quasi hull

[quasi hull]

Are you using new SSS?

[wicked jewel]

I have the new update so it should

[quasi hull]

@wicked jewel

Try this

[green lake]

probably idk

im not using it anymore

this was my load order

[quasi hull]

It’s going to be a performance hit but it’ll help your lighting look better

[wicked jewel]

i'll try if its too much i will just play in potato mode

[quasi hull]

Yeah, it’s worth a shot cause for me it didn’t hurt performance and looks great

[sour chasm]

I only lost a couple frames if that when I turned it on

And my PC sucks lmao

[quasi hull]

Then I believe it’s console command lumscale ambient? and set 0.8 it’ll give your interior darkness to make volumetrics look very nice

(Sun shining through a building, contrast of light to dark will look more realistic)

Oh! But your on inverno! It might make things too dark for you sense you don’t have sun during a winter storm haha!

[slate dew]

hi guys, is reshade in game files or do we have to download it after the update?

[quasi hull]

In the gamma launcher untick delete reshade dlls

[slate dew]

okey ty

[slate dew]

i disabled them but it doesnt save, any help?

[quasi hull]

You untick them all then hit update?

[slate dew]

oh no...i did not 😄

[quasi hull]

Once that’s finished delete shaders cache to

In MO2 I did anomaly launcher then delete shader cache. And everything looked good

I think most people delete the one in anomaly folder but I don’t have issues when I do it through the launcher

[slate dew]

it all good now, thanks dude!

[quasi hull]

No problem!

[prisma nexus]

It’s not so much that X-Ray is 17 years old, it’s more that X-Ray can’t do multithreading

[sour chasm]

I wouldn't expect anything as old as this engine to have any modern efficiencies

[rigid pendant]

Do I have to do anything besides just update GAMMA to get that though? In my MO2 SSS still says 18.0 so Im slightly confused

Is this supposed to say 19? I have the wind and shadow / light options so it definitely got updated

[prisma nexus]

True, but that’s like the one feature this engine would need to run MUCH much smoother than it does

[slow star]

just updating with 6.0 launcher and all ticks on is enough, the "18.0" name is from the mod folder name, it didnt get renamed

[rigid pendant]

Ok cool! I'm trying it out now !

weird lol i cant show you because it wont show up in screenshots, but NiS for me atleast at 90% makes everything weirdly sharp. Might have to tweak with it til I find the right % for my monitor or something

[slow star]

theres sharp % values both in NCP and GFN , try decreasing

[rigid pendant]

GFN = GFE?

GeForce experience? I don't think I have GeForce now

Dont have a Image Sharpness option under 3D settings in NCP so maybe its a newer RTX thing

[sour chasm]

Enable it in GeForce Experience and change the global sharpness settings to 0%, or in control panel under Manage 3D Settings, go to the program settings tab and find the x-ray exe and Image Scaling should be the first option at the top of the list. You can set the sharpness there too.

Def not a newer card thing I have a 1080 and it's there for me

[rigid pendant]

Yeah it's like locked somewhere

The setting exists it's just hidden

[sour chasm]

Enable it in GeForce experience

[slow star]

Yeah sorry GFE

[rigid pendant]

Ohhh I had to update GFE

Duh Lol

Should be good now I'll see

I'm going to just copy your values and see how it works

[sour chasm]

I recommend 20% sharpen or less. If I ever actually use it I only put it at 10%, or just turn it off since I'm using SharpContrast and the sharpening built into any of the Reshade AA

[rigid pendant]

Yee, I'm trying to ditch reshade like norfair though so I'm trying to get the scaling / sharpening right to deal with the aliasing

It's a lot better now with your values norfair, trees are still a bit rough with the sparkles though vs reshade

Looks good otherwise, I literally just wish I could slap fxaa on or something though cause the performance is great

[sour chasm]

I don't think there's really any way to get away from Reshade if you want more refined AA. The game looks pretty good without it but it's not perfect and you definitely still need supplemental things from Reshade to make it look amazing.

If anything only having to use Reshade for just quint motion vectors + TFAA + sharpcontrast + fake HDR is less of a performance hit than I took in the past and it looks better than it ever did.

[green lake]

better AA can be created for aonmaly

its not like its just hard coded into the game

and the shimiering issues with textures isnt even because of AA

its with the textures themselves

[lilac quest]

Hope I'm in the correct channel for this , I'm using capa reshade and i was wondering if this an error or normal.. very new to all of this

[green lake]

reshade does not affect any of the game files at all

i dont think we ues atmosr anymore

so just use atmos

cfg_load atmos

[lilac quest]

oh ok . Thank you very much

[rigid pendant]

Aliasing is the biggest issue by far visually with anomaly

It was my main concern with the move from reshade is how is that going to get consistently reliably handled

[rigid pendant]

Last question, what are you using as far as AO goes?

[wicked jewel]

uhm...enabling the grass shadows in ultra fixes light? don't i have to set cascades aswell?

[rigid pendant]

Ah I didn't see this, let me know what results you come across for a good looking AO this update, cheers 🥂

[rigid pendant]

Yep settled for just using reshade tbh, my performance still bottoms out at the same low of 45 in areas where my cpu can't keep up and maybe a 10 fps difference in less cpu dependant areas so it's not that bad tbh

[raw vigil]

That is gorgeous

[green lake]

thank you sir

or girl

[sour chasm]

Yeah someone will figure something out or implement something better but for now it's just Reshade and slowly disabling things until core gamma supports a better solution natively

[rigid pendant]

Norfair is trying to optimize the no reshade experience, I trust he'll come up with something awesome if given a couple days

But yeah as of atleast right this moment for playing I'm just gonna use reshade

[green lake]

hippo allready did a great job making the game look good without reshaed

[rigid pendant]

He did, the effects are amazing

It's literally just aliasing

That's my issue

[green lake]

mannnnnn it looks so good

still would need reshade for some more

cinematic looks

no reshade in this

looks so goododd

[quasi hull]

Yes sorry, cascades shadows set to ultra

[marsh mural]

For ppl using AA from reshade, those sharpness are not needed right

[green lake]

why would the sharpness be needed

it was never needed

[rigid pendant]

Norfair found that without reshade the best way to tackle aliasing was by using image sharpening / scaling in GFE/NCP

And he's right but it's not quite enough for me atm

[slow star]

don't expect much because the .h shader settings that come with atmos are already pretty good, im just trying to increase AO intensity from ao.h

[quasi hull]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/920013807479296042/1188931484996866089/ss_max_12-25-23_11-42-25_l01_escape.png?ex=659c51bb&is=6589dcbb&hm=ddd4aa2f27dd55fc16459ea3e8990dcc6944c7c812132c2003c13a8a313e894c&

[slow star]

Im just doing what anyone can do which is raise the ao.h (like the hbao mod in moddb) and ssr.h values ,

I already found my sweetspot which is NIS 90% (1221p) which gives me 70FPS on most areas. reshade or not, that's pretty good!

[rigid pendant]

NIS 90%, and same values in GFE as your original SS?

[slow star]

Yeah, it would be the "closest" resolution you can get to your native

For me it's 1221p (from 1440p) idk if it's 90% but that's the closest one

I found no perf difference between lower NIS resolutions

Now, obviously effects that affect the depth buffer like FFGX and others, are always gonna spice up the scene, and there's the immerse smaa, tfaa, etc, all of that stuff ~ but I chose to ignore it and just play the game by itself and see how much the sss settings can be cranked up ~ so far, the volumetric light values seem to add a lot to scenes where they are active

And for me having the 70-120 fps range is too smooth to give up with reshade effects, although, in NIS mode i'm not really getting that much lower FPS because of reshade, so it's a win win. On native it's another story

[quasi hull]

@slow star Have you messed with the color grading at all? I was having trouble trying to figure that out

[slow star]

Not yet I been just trying to enjoy the game

[rigid pendant]

Maybe next SSS will include a holefiller option

[slow star]

it's been so long since i actually played

[green lake]

next SSS wont have that

next SSS is doing effects for mask overlays

my favorite

[rigid pendant]

I wish in game AA did something lil

Lol

[green lake]

not sure why you're set on AA

AA is something that is going to be changed a long time down the road

and AA isnt even needed right now

its not that bad without it

[rigid pendant]

That's the kind of statement that makes me think I messed something up updating, because for me the aliasing is pretty bad

Like it just looks like default anomaly for me without reshade

[quasi hull]

Eh, it’s not terrible but even for me it is noticeable

[marsh mural]

How do you play with LUT within the new sss?

[green lake]

go into the console

type in lut

look at the default values

0,0,0,0

1,0,0,0

the first number means the intensity of the LUT

1,15,0,0

the second one means the level

dont change that probably

just change the first one

not sure what hte other two number use

[green lake]

im not using aliasing

[rigid pendant]

Ik cause you're not using reshade, but that's not what I'm saying I'm saying for me the aliasing is bad but it might be just a personal issue cause I'm comparing it to how good trees / shimmering looks with my reshade AA

It might not be that bad but atleast compared to how good it looks with reshade it is bad

[green lake]

no i am using reshade

im just not using AA

my laptop is dying rn

im getting 84c gpu temperature just idling on the computer

[rigid pendant]

?

[green lake]

so i need whatever performance i can get

(its not dying it just needs to be cleaned)

[quasi hull]

For the time being I’m using tfaa, drme, and ismaa

[green lake]

yeah thats me

right now

just with anomaly open and discord

[slate dew]

is anyone knows hunter presets still usable after the update?

[rigid pendant]

94

[slate dew]

without any bugs n glitches i mean

[rigid pendant]

Uhh seems fine to me

[quasi hull]

Console colorgrade adjust or no ?

[slate dew]

which one ur using?

[quasi hull]

Or unnecessary?

[green lake]

no

[quasi hull]

Ok

[green lake]

that wont change the LUT

[rigid pendant]

Hunter 2.0

It's modified slightly but looks good for me with the update

U should be okay to use it

[slate dew]

okey ty

[cunning gazelle]

gorgeous rays

[green lake]

barely scraping out 54 fps

game looks good hough

[rigid pendant]

apparently im getting 69 fps and 64 fps

so i add those 2 together right meaning i should be getting a total of 133 fps

huge

[green lake]

hude

[quasi hull]

85 fps

in yantar

[marsh mural]

What are those gloves

[quasi hull]

I use eft hands for thap

[green lake]

why you holding out the gun so far away from you

[quasi hull]

Lol!

I know

Hud fov too much

[quasi hull]

it looks better with my primary weapons

[sour chasm]

I find I have to constantly swap back to a non-pistol and set my HUD fov back to 65 constantly. Something weird with the pistol fov script making it go crazy to like 99 sometimes.

[green lake]

the pistol fov script isnt that good

i just turn it off

[winter summit]

nobody here have heared about amtospheric density shader? i want to share it, cause it adds sort of atmosphere scattering effect with heavy fog, maybe someone like me will like it (i wish sss would kindly implement this effect in the future). i'm using it most of the time, but it's kind of abandoned during wip, so is heavy on perfomance. here is a link https://github.com/siriusinko/MShaders

[marsh mural]

Got link?

[green lake]

that looks really cool

[green lake]

is this for reshade or?

[winter summit]

yes, it is

for reshade

[green lake]

cool

should i get this super laptop for my birthday

[quasi hull]

Didnt have much time but got alittle more blue color out of ssfxlut

[winter summit]

i suggest also to enable misc controls, so you can configure blending

[green lake]

ok

do it haha

do they have 165hz?

[green lake]

240hz

its an actual super laptop

[topaz root]

Hey guys so i want to make my game look good but dont want to pester you all with constant questions. Is there a guide or video i can follow

[green lake]

https://youtu.be/SIRNAO_XPh4

[topaz root]

Thank you brother much appreciated

[slow star]

thanks for the suggestion

[winter summit]

there is also agx shader i'm using, which I also found on the net, the idea behind it to convert image to AgX colorspace. so roughly saying, it's like reinline capa use, but author tried to simulate agx instead of reinhard (btw it's killing feature of latest blender release). it's not close to ground-truth in my opinion, but can be useful after some value tweaks with pleasing results.

Does gamma come with thap?

[marsh mural]

cool thanks, pc not with me

[rigid pendant]

The extra volumetrics and wind sway and everything is so good though, immersion levels are way upp

[frail dirge]

Is this further tweaking from what you posted on what to do in your video or just thoses mods ?

because its.... mint

[green lake]

just trying out something

[frail dirge]

well it looks great to me

[green lake]

really?

hmmmm

[frail dirge]

forgive my ignorance if I missed it but did you ever post your weapon repos?

[green lake]

nah thats the only gun i've repositioned so far

im not gonna reposition every single gun in the game though

probably just the ones i like or i think would look nice with it

ill make a mod post when its ready

[frail dirge]

Gotcha.. I was about to say... that would be a hell of a task

[green lake]

good alternative ishttps://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1118909693813862492

even that mod isnt finished yet lol

[frail dirge]

yea

lol

[midnight basin]

@green lake how are you doing custom repositions?

[green lake]

i wouldnt recomend it

its a lot of work

but here

https://youtu.be/LF8p9_tyqWo?si=jbAy7aOft8GRYssr

[midnight basin]

a lot of work
damn nevermind then lol

thought it was like changing a few values

oh hang on it is like changing a few values

doesn't look that hard

[cobalt parrot]

not hard, just time consuming and a lot of work

[muted rivet]

oh it Fn+K

im using 60 layout

[tropic vale]

Question about not using reshade: Is it then that I use cfg_load?

[visual axle]

If you have the last updated version of GAMMA then it doesn't use reshade anymore (just disabled, not removed) all you have to type in is "cfg_load atmos" done

[midnight basin]

not if someone already made most of the work for you and you're just fixing/cleaning up after them

https://tenor.com/byMhe.gif

whats the settings

[swift robin]

Hello everyone

serious help needed

I have a laptop with rtx 3060, ryzen 7 6800h, 16gb ddr5 4800hz and ssd

fps is like no more than 30 at best and the visuals are just plain ugly

[gilded current]

looks like you're playing a roblox game that ported the map over

[swift robin]

at this point stalkercraft looks better

[fierce valve]

did you try the cfg_load atmos?

maybe that helps

but the colors looks way off

[rigid pendant]

Managed to get no reshade looking nice

[undone stump]

no reshade club detected

[wicked jewel]

Im in the no reshade club aswell

just because my pc suffers from skill issues and can't handle fancy reshade

[undone stump]

yea because the new update is already good

[wicked jewel]

i just run the new zone reality 0.3 and nothing else basically

every thing is at medium and the shaders are low

[wicked jewel]

Ayo wait, did they optimize the grass shaders? because im playing with them on and didn't lose Any fps

with ultra sss settings

This was the best i could get without killing performance below 60 fps

[tired steeple]

drop the .ltx king

[fierce valve]

does this look too dark?

[swift robin]

Any good Lens flare reshade that wouldn't use up half my fps?

[proven swan]

Depth of Field in the game settings keeps turning on, anyone got the same problem?

guys is there a alternative to SSS?

[manic sage]

No why?

[quasi hull]

It does in this screenshot but I’d suggest adjusting basic light settings with different weather options

Find a good balance

[fierce valve]

I hate my screen it looks better on it but on my mobile pic seems dark as hell 🤮

[green lake]

yeah it looks really dark for me too

[fierce valve]

clear weather looks way better but man, as soon as stormy weather goes on my black goes black as hell

[green lake]

thats because its stormy weather

what's a good reshade for making the game gloomy and grey-ish

[long dune]

guys how to install reshade in stalker gamma

giving this error

[safe igloo]

just read the instruction of reshade you wanna install

its not complicated to install reshade

[spice moss]

homekey doesnt bring up the reshade menu any help?

[marsh mural]

@green lake do you know how to disable built in lut in sss?

[thorny vortex]

reinstall SSS19 without the Lut module checked

[green lake]

ssfx_lut 0,0,0,0

[marsh mural]

What does lut do exactly in sss? Moddb does not say much beside a look up table

[green lake]

thats what it is

[quasi hull]

consoloe ssfx_lut 2,4,0,0

Only tested in cordon, clear 1

basic light settings, default

dark cloudy3 (2,3,0,0)

clear 1 with 2nd option. personally like this one more

[lavish relic]

Looking good max

[green lake]

Unreal Zone 3.0 SSS 19 test

no im using golden autumn texture pack

sholdnt look too different with aydin's though

i mean the reshade

it shouldnt look to different when usign aydin's

84c degrees just idlign on my pc

we're cooked

(literally)

[quasi hull]

im running 4070 very good opt

[green lake]

nice!

have you tried upscaling with DLDSR?

capa does that with his 4070

goes from 1080p to 4k

[quasi hull]

hm, im gonna test that

i think i remember him talking about that actually

[green lake]

yeah i spoke to him abou ti

about it*

he used to run a 3060 like me

[quasi hull]

should i max that quality you think? lol

[quasi hull]

^

[green lake]

4x DSR?

what's your native res

[quasi hull]

1440

dude this looks insane

idk if this screenshot does justice but its insane

very smooth

i did 4x DSR, feels like you unlocked some shit for me thank you haha

[green lake]

whats the fps?

capa told me he was getting around 40 or something last time

no he said 50

[quasi hull]

i had like 90 lol

[green lake]

thats crazy

didnt know you had a nasa computer

[quasi hull]

this update helped a ton with my fps

i still get 60 in certain places but im usually around 70-80 idk why this is hitting 90 right now

[mild ice]

Where is this shader

[green lake]

no where

I haven't released it yet

[mild ice]

Oooh okay

[rigid pendant]

Btw I just decided to use reshade only for FXAA lol, because the AA was the only thing bothering me about not having reshade

loll

FXAA on

Off

begone sparkles

[green lake]

what are you fxaa settings?

[jolly frigate]

whats the best aa shader? fxaa works great against the edge shimmering, but it made the whole scene blurry as frick
