╟🎑reshades

[rigid pendant]

I use these fxaa settings '

if youre only using FXAA that amount of subpix should be good

[quasi hull]

I use
DRME
ISMAA
TFAA

I don’t think that’s the right load order but something like that lol

[rigid pendant]

If you don't care about frames you can use that combo but be ready to kiss goodbye to about 20-25fps, quint motionvectors is cheaper than DRME performance wise if you want to go for TFAA

Where as fxaa docks me about 1 frame so it's all about your rig and what it can handle

[quasi hull]

Yes correct ^

[rigid pendant]

I'd use tfaa if I could afford to lose the extra fps cause it does look best by far for eliminating shimmer/sparkling

But even just FXAA is a million times better than ZERO AA from reshade

Zero AA is just a sparklefest

[quasi hull]

Yes, the edges on my gun are doing the Harlem shake with zero AA

[jolly frigate]

what is DMRE and ISMAA? can't find those in my shader list

[quasi hull]

Immerse smaa

[rigid pendant]

Type in motion in reshade

[jolly frigate]

running with fxaa rn

[rigid pendant]

Either drme or Motionvectors is needed ABOVE TFAA

Fxaa shouldn't make your game blurry, trees might look blurry if your subpix is too high

That looks fine to me

Though it's hard to get a sense for aliasing through a screenshot as much of the problem comes from your character moving and the edges shimmering as you move

[jolly frigate]

goddamn immerse pro rtgi looks so good but took like 15fps from my poor rx580

[rigid pendant]

Try glamareye with fake GI

It's more affordable

[jolly frigate]

lookin good!

[green lake]

hm ok

usually when i use FXAA it just makes things even more shimmery

[rigid pendant]

If the subpix is too high the trees get this weird low res look, I find if you just pull both those bottom sliders to zero and then just drag the subpix slider til it looks good for you is the best way to go

But the values im at are probably a good starting place

https://i.gyazo.com/65fe069e1f49d6624e1d257fe2a2db09.mp4

very clear what its doing here

[green lake]

ok cool

[rigid pendant]

thats me just hitting effect on vs off with only FXAA on

[green lake]

i'll add this to mine

(tfaa destroys my frames)

[rigid pendant]

yeah like

i cant handle that shit

FXAA is for the potato

but still looks SO much better than no AA

[green lake]

i dont even have a potato man

[rigid pendant]

its modded stalker

[green lake]

3060 and im scraping out 60-30 fps in 1440p

[rigid pendant]

if its not a 4080 or better its a potato

need a Nasa PC to play this at 1440p 144fps with a good reshade with like TFAA

[green lake]

this is why i want this laptop for my birfday

absolute beast

[rigid pendant]

yeah thats nice

whens your birthday

[green lake]

February 21st

[rigid pendant]

[green lake]

so not that logn!

yes we pray

even metro exodus plays better than gamma

with the settings on max

[rigid pendant]

U cant blame GAMMA though, imagine metro exodus with 450+ mods

3 fps

maybe 5

[green lake]

yeah i bet

metro mods really only boil down to map mods really

there's literally onl 5 in existence

5 whole mods for exodus

[rigid pendant]

Anomaly is already like a mod of a mod working off revamped ancient engine

that only utilizes one core

and then it has

450 mods and a buncha crazy shaders

with gamma lol

[green lake]

one core 😭

i think my laptop is dying

[rigid pendant]

like the fact we get over 50 fps ever is surprising to me

[green lake]

the fans dont sound as loud as they uesd to be

😭

[rigid pendant]

I know nothing about laptops I would just say clean the dust as much as you can 😂

[green lake]

this is a 3 year old laptop

or 2 year old

[jolly frigate]

meanwhile im gaming with a 7 years old pc

[green lake]

im not sure what happene

my laptop was able to run 4k at 40 fps

now im running 2k and 40 fps

wtf

[rigid pendant]

ahhh yeah this was the right idea, 65+ consistent FPS and minimal sparkles

[jolly frigate]

repasted the chips yet

[green lake]

nop

im just gonna get a better laptop

[rigid pendant]

https://i.gyazo.com/2e0e8bc5ef233ca5446cc87cde65d903.mp4

The wind....the glow from the fire

this update man LOL

obsessed

https://i.gyazo.com/bf158a71600e60d22206fd151cad482c.mp4

[green lake]

this was me when I was beta testing the whole thing

[swift robin]

Hi, I'm install reshade, the home key works but no preset is applied,still vanilla

[midnight basin]

guess we can dunk on non-reshade players on this channel now

[chrome oxide]

looks aite

[midnight basin]

aite is what i am

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/780495700513390603.webp?size=48&name=Cool&quality=lossless

[floral charm]

does anyone know a dx9 reshade?

[green lake]

im pretty sure that reshade works for any DX

dont quote me on that

[midnight basin]

it should work with 9

not 8 though

make sure you're not on windows 98

[floral charm]

the reshade on both makes them crash saying "failed to initiate graphics hardware"

[midnight basin]

why not switch to DX10

8 is not supported at all so don't bother

i'm taking this info from their site

[keen ermine]

Think It'd be alright to just reinstall reshade manually (vs. running the gamma installer again and unchecking)? If I pick the right version / find a preset

[uneven thicket]

does reshade have some issues after installing Zone Reality? i cant get the menu to open

[midnight basin]

it cannot be version 5.9.2 + i think the reshade already in the game has something to do with the modified .EXEs? not entirely sure

reinstalling 5.7.0 alone might not work but don't quote me on that

[midnight basin]

if you're updated to v6 you won't have reshade by default anymore

you have to untick 'Delete Reshade .DLLs'

god i can't type today

[uneven thicket]

thats for Zone Reality right?

[midnight basin]

it's for GAMMA as a whole, if you updated the game in the past few days you won't have ReShade by default anymore

the launcher has been set to remove it

[uneven thicket]

aaah

so just an update with that option unchecked should do the trick i assume

[midnight basin]

you can reapply ReShade by heading to \GAMMA\modpack_patches\bin and copying the ReShade files over to your bin Anomaly game directory

[floral charm]

Every time I play on dx10 and it starts loading the screen turns completely black, I can hear noise but I cannot interact or do anything

[midnight basin]

!blackscreen

[void depot]

@floral charm Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[uneven thicket]

thank you, it works fine now, only TFAA isn't present among the options, but the rest is here

nvm, found out how to have it appear

[midnight basin]

you just have to add the TFAA path yeah

[green lake]

@midnight basin

can you update the reshade database for me

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1180668474377371648

[midnight basin]

sure

done, make sure everything is correct

[green lake]

looks right

thanks klip

[midnight basin]

np

if you DM sunn your email address you can get access

or maybe i can give you access somehow idk i've never used Sheets before

i think i can give you access if i get your mail

[green lake]

i dont think i need it yet

[floral charm]

it didnt work

[midnight basin]

consult #🔨base-gamma-support

[sour chasm]

can you fix the "how to show hidden effects" under the Q&A in the sheet, someone pasted over it with the answers from the performance and anti aliasing questions

[midnight basin]

done, thanks for bringing this to my attention

might as well update the reshade installation instructions since it's no longer included by default

[delicate ore]

Anyone know how to remove the shadders that come in the latest update in GAMMA? They look awful. I don't like it.

[celest ingot]

so after a fresh install, and tried every single options, i'm still dead even before to start 😦

[delicate ore]

Solved

[wanton jolt]

does anyone know how to open up the reshade menu, I'm confused because I have pressed the home butten and it does nothing

[green lake]

press 7 on your num pad?

[wanton jolt]

yeah thats my problem, it doesn't pullup anyhting when I press 7 on my num pad

[green lake]

did you perss num lock by accident

[wanton jolt]

i might have

i just tried without num lock but it still didn't work, it could be one of the mods i installed but I doubt considering none of them have to do with reshade

[sinful mirage]

Is lowest setting of NVG still supposed to be this blown out?

[rigid pendant]

I noticed my nvgs after the update were way too bright as well

go into Beefs nvgs in MCM

[rigid pendant]

and lower the gains

[green lake]

making a new super cinematic version of my reshade

in hopes that caj uses it

[rigid pendant]

20 fps detected

[green lake]

60 fps

[rigid pendant]

cap ur pc is dying it cant do 60 on a good day

[green lake]

well i reinstalled gamma

and it fucking fixed everything

[rigid pendant]

wtf lol

[green lake]

i went from 40 fps in great swamps

to 70 fps

same textures and everythin

[rigid pendant]

yeah I get like 70 in swamps

40 in swamps something is wrong

[green lake]

i guess im back to normal then

lol

[rigid pendant]

no need for laptop

:pog:

well u could still get it but not as necessary now for you ig

[rigid pendant]

try these settings or something close to these

it still gets more than bright enough with the lowest being actually low

[rigid pendant]

atta boy

MUCH better

[green lake]

imagine 50 fps in 4k

thats what capa said he gets with his 4070

i want this laptop

[rigid pendant]

Yeah if you want to play 4k you need to upgrade for sure

[sinful mirage]

Thanks for the tip @rigid pendant

[green lake]

its crazy

4k fixes literally almost every shimmers you see in trees

theres still quite a bit

but it fixes so much

[rigid pendant]

yeah 4k with tfaa + motionvectors would probably be literally ZERO shimmer

but i hate tfaa cause it makes the motion look weird

FXAA solves 75% of the sparkling issues for me while not doing anything weird to motion or fps

[green lake]

yeah

you can porbably just ues FXAA in 4k and it all be fixed

[rigid pendant]

^ this

I like FXAA in reshade cause its also just super easy to use and setup

and its very easy to see the changes its making

[slow star]

Hippo said to mess with the mcm nvg offset so yeah you're right

[rigid pendant]

Yeah it was just brutal before I tweaked the NVG settings, at dusk the lowest settings would blow the slightest bit of moonlight reflection up a TON

[brave shard]

what causes these vertical texture artifacts?

[green lake]

what the

[grand sand]

Has reshade been removed since the last update? or I'm just high lol?

[thorny vortex]

the "delete reshade DLLs" box in the launcher is now ticked by default, so unless you untick it reshade is gone

[grand sand]

So how do I make the game look visually better for example? The new atmospherics mod takes care of it already right?

(I'm guessing ZoneReality is not needed right now since it's basically "useless" now?)

[green lake]

what

why would it be useless

you can just reinstall reshade

[grand sand]

no reshade basically (well unless I)

[grand sand]

yeah

[green lake]

its still not useless man...

[grand sand]

Yeah my bad didn't mean "useless" lol

[green lake]

zone reality was never needed anyways

[grand sand]

Just curious how do I make it visually more impressive if I don't use reshade

[green lake]

you cant

unless you use the in game color grading

[grand sand]

ahh got it

Yeah tweaked it and stuff looks great after

[green lake]

ok...

[grand sand]

yeah sorry lol but thx

[green lake]

is the uh

[error][ 8] : Not enough memory resources are available to process this command.

at address 0x00000001403FAA53
isn't this crash related to me having a laptop or something?

does anyone know here?

i swear i saw something about the "Not enough memory recourses" crash was related to having a laptop or something

was that a different crash?

[grand sand]

looks like ram issue

how much ram your laptop has

[green lake]

my laptop was only using 76% memory when playing the game

so that wasnt the issue

[grand sand]

weird

how much ram?

4-8?

[green lake]

16

[grand sand]

ok yeah no way

[grand sand]

can you replicate it or it just happens randomly? Killing X or going to X?

[green lake]

well

it wasnt happening before

but i started a run in outskirts

and whenever i spawn in there

and move around a little bit it crashes

[grand sand]

Did you install a mod recently? Tried reinstalling?

Try disabling AVX

[green lake]

yeah i did install this voice actor mod

it was working fine before i installed that

[grand sand]

Yeah

Your mod is corrupted

[green lake]

yeah

[grand sand]

Disable it and

[green lake]

well, it worked for a minute but we crashed again

so i guess i gotta reinstall

[rigid pendant]

https://i.gyazo.com/f3dbbff1c8d4f85a624348dd5a252a14.gif anyone know what might be causing this issue with lighting?

[rigid pendant]

Well i figured it out, volumetric light is doing something buggy when the option is enabled, hopefully that doesent completely ruin the effects of SSS19 having it disabled

And it does lmao, rip

[cunning gazelle]

I am having same issue but notice it only when using headlamp

[lavish relic]

Noticed some flickering with it enabled as well. Assume it will be fixed soon TM

[hard plinth]

guys, how to install another reshade?

[marsh mural]

which option

[midnight basin]

if you already have reshade installed then just drop the preset into the Anomaly\bin folder

along with the other presets

if it's a folder containing custom effects drop it into reshade-shaders\Shaders or whatever is provided to you

[tepid sleet]

Can somebody help me with this: in reflections some stuff, like trees, have green edging (can't see it on a screenshot, sorry) and around knife there is some blueish hue.

[slow star]

if you're using a preset, disable CA/Chromatic Aberration

[tepid sleet]

AtmosR, disabled by default.

[slow star]

Glamarye

[supple lagoon]

Anyone got a lut that plays nice with new update?

[tepid sleet]

Thanks! Fixed blue hue but still got green edging in reflections.

[slow star]

whats your monitor

its probably ghosting artifacts, they're always green

because if it's not visible in the screenshot, then it's ghosting

100%

Unlike the blue glow from the 2nd screenshot which is a byproduct of glamarye

[tepid sleet]

Some shitty AOC
So just forget about those green ghosties?

[slow star]

Yep, or change your monitor's response time in the OSD

it's always named "Overdrive" or just "Response Time"

If I change it to Normal or Fast, the green artifacts disappear but i have black smearing (classic VA panel behaviour)

There was an user who fixed his green ghosting completely by changing his resolution or disabling "game/movie mode" or something like that in the monitor OSD panel

[tepid sleet]

Found it, but can't see any difference while schanging overdrive. But that's ok, nothing critical. Thanks for the help!

[cunning gazelle]

I notice it only near fires or when using the headlamp… maybe an issue where multiple light sources are hitting an object

[lavish relic]

i'd guess that was the case yeah. You can kinda force it to happen if you place multple metal torches from the hideout mod. Seems the engine suffers with the same issue bugthesdas engine has when it comes to multiple light sorces over lapping 😄

[brisk root]

Guys, I had my reshade button set on HOME key, but now it doesn't work, since I updated the game. Did it change to a different key, or something is wrong?

Oh, nevermind I got it fixed

[compact trellis]

hey is anyone not seeing the reshade tab popping up?

[rigid pendant]

For me it's just whenever I'm close to fires, headlamp makes no effect

But hearing other people have this issue leads me to believe it's just a kink that needs to be ironed, thus I ignore

From what I can tell its only happening at night too

So I've narrowed it down to Volumetric light causing lighting issues at night time lol

[short peak]

Playing around to find something close to Alan Wake 2

[sage mesa]

so what's the best reshade for like max 15 fps drop

[green lake]

looks interesting

[thorny vortex]

first time loading inverno, its so nice. Using my new Reshade [Testing]
[First is reshade off] [Second is reshade on]

[undone stump]

Does project inverno increases FPS ? as the landscape and objects looks more simplified

[true crater]

I am tryingt to install Inverno right now, am having trouble finding Agressor reshade and a few others in MO2?

[thorny vortex]

it can, there is a no grass and lods option in the FOMOD for more fps

[undone stump]

wokeyyy

[sage mesa]

i was installing reality mod, and now my trees look wack, everything else looks good though

[safe kelp]

cool that people are still using my hunter preset

i was unaware it was in some modpacks and in the reshade database

i really should come back one day and make an even better one

[cobalt parrot]

yes please

[midnight basin]

looks much nicer with the preset!

[undone dew]

Can you drop a file with your preset?

[undone dew]

Or u man)

[midnight basin]

sure, one sec

it's just a modified AtmosFILM with some effects cut out to improve performance

[undone dew]

Thx dude, but i have 1 more question - there should I drop this file?

[midnight basin]

replace your reshade shader folder with my, make a backup, so you dont get duplicate shaders

[grand jolt]

whats the best preset to use

[tawny root]

just CAPA

filmic i just put in for fun

[grand jolt]

do u have a link for it

[tawny root]

the one i just posted

there are 3 presets in there

[radiant warren]

how did you fixed it?

[brisk root]

I updated the game in the launcher without checking checkboxes to off. So I updated the game again but this time I checked them off. And I all worked out

[radiant warren]

Oh thx man, i almost deleted the whole thing

[brisk root]

You're welcome. I almost deleted it too

[tawny root]

man i just cant like late fall

inverno is really good

[nova tapir]

i know this is from aeons (days) ago but I have discovered NIS and want to set it up for gamma and have not even the faintest clue how

could you or someone else point me in the right direction kindly?

[green lake]

aeons

[nova tapir]

i have found it nevermind augh

[nova tapir]

I have given up on this due to a "wobbling" effect that bothers me with this enabled. I'm not entirely sure if it's something that just can't be avoided if you play below native res but I am annoyed by it.

i think so

[cobalt parrot]

this guy

"got so many reshades I can't keep track of them"

okay yes it is yours

anyway GOOD STUFF

[green lake]

thank you sir

you should make a video about new levels

im trying to bring in better textures for new levels

so it doesnt look like shit everywehre

[vital jasper]

ok it works now many thx :another question :isave my user .ltx so ok for keybind but for saving value in gamma (each update it's so boring to reset value what is the tips for? thx

[midnight basin]

which ones will you be using?

do you mean like Structures Redux and such?

[craggy lance]

I9 9900kf - rtx 3080, struggling in Rostock. Is it normal ?

[dawn valve]

how do you turn that setting on? Sorry I had a long brake from the game and cannot remember 😦

[tawny root]

a bit stripped down version of the one i posted

[sour chasm]

Is there an order of operations everyone likes to follow for getting things just right? I find myself still not knowing what a lot of things do and thus bouncing around between SSS and reshade just to find out that there was something else that does what I want and makes 2-3 other changes unnecessary. If you were starting from complete vanilla install, what effects/settings do you adjust/apply first, and what theory do you adhere to when deciding what to adjust in relation to the other settings you're changing?

[midnight basin]

i personally go through all the premade presets and then adjust the one i like most to my liking - adding effects that i already know i like from previous games like CA, Film Grain, Eye Adaption etc.

i then set all the visual settings to max and then go through all of them and test which ones are most performance-efficient to run, i don't necessarily run max graphics out of principle

that's how you get a nice performance-visuals balance

i also never use AA or AO because i know they're performance killers but that's just personal preference again

[sour chasm]

That's pretty much what I do too (except I'm the opposite and drown it all in AA + AO). I start with Capa's then work backwards and sub out effects for ones I like better. But I really feel like I'm just moving sliders and clicking boxes instead of understanding or addressing the core of what I'm trying to accomplish.

I was more looking for the thought process of not using someone else's and starting from scratch. Like what are the more important things to try to balance and change first to set a baseline, (IE color grade, getting dark areas to have definition and depth without being too black) so that I'm not having to waste resources in reshade applying an effect to correct something that I could have corrected (or already did just not enough) in another setting somewhere else.

[green lake]

nah i was just trying to bring in textures from golden autumn to grimwood and such

hi! I just installed GAMMA and would like to use some shaders, is there a place where i can find a guide on how to do so? ty!

[green lake]

[shy hazel]

Is this the latest Install instructions, if we deleted it in the new update?

If so- which one to DL pls?

[rigid pendant]

Just download it with the launcher, by unticking the delete reshade DLLs box

Dont ever download anything manually

[shy hazel]

AH thanks!

[green lake]

you can still install reshade like that still

i've doen it before

it wont just break everything

[rigid pendant]

As a general suggestion, if you don't know what you're doing you should stick to the automated stuff that GAMMA is using

Hence if you need to ask in here, stick to the standard method

[green lake]

if you wanted a new reshade version you can do that

[midnight basin]

i am told 5.9.2 just doesn't work at all lol

like the Home menu won't even open

[green lake]

mine did

is there anywhere you can download old versions of atmospherics anywhere

[charred pendant]

guys how do i install reshades in the game i want to use the atmospheric settings too

[wicked moss]

Hi, I'm consistently getting errors for these 2 effects on every preset, is this normal?

Also, I don't know if it's related, but as soon as I enable TFAA I have a significant "ghosting" effect, can I do anything against it?

[rigid pendant]

No tfaa just does that

I prefer fxaa + dof and sharpening

[wicked moss]

I will try, thanks!

[midnight basin]

head to \GAMMA\modpack_patches\bin and copy the ReShade files over to Anomaly\bin game directory

[open merlin]

for some reason when i click home the menue dosent appear any ideas

[midnight basin]

not just ideas, facts

reshade is removed with the update

if you want to return it uncheck 'Remove Reshade .DLLs' in the launcher, then update your game

alternatively, head to \GAMMA\modpack_patches\bin and copy the ReShade files over to Anomaly\bin game directory

do not update to 5.9.2, that will also break it

[open merlin]

well i only just fully reintsalled it after not playin for a while so im stuck on the most recent

[midnight basin]

the most recent one removes reshade yes

follow the steps i outlined

[open merlin]

alright thanks for the help

RTGI experiments.

[zealous crown]

i have 2 questions:

1. how is the easiest way to reinstall reshade (forgot to untick the box) 🙂

2. how on earth are u running this game on such beautifull reshades without significant FPS drops ? 😄

[zealous crown]

what is this minimap, please ? 🙂

[slender oracle]

From https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/enhanced-gui

[zealous crown]

you installed it as a whole, or just minimap?

[slender oracle]

I'm not the same dude.

[zealous crown]

ah, sorry 😄

[civic niche]

Guys, i need help, can you show me how make gamma more interesting?

I dont understand how use reshade mod/

[green lake]

run the installer again

untick the box

go to modpack_patches

in gamma files

and copy and paste all the files to anomaly

[zealous crown]

That will reset my setting, right ? 😄

[rigid pendant]

Not if you backup your user LTX files from anomaly\appdata, also in M02 if you type in 'values' right click MCM Values and rename it, once you update, there will be the original MCM values and the one you renamed , just disable the old one and use the one you renamed

[green lake]

you could jsut transfer the bin folder

and nothing else

[sleek folio]

Am I blind, I can't find any of phroZac's reshade anywhere? -EDIT Nevermind, found it!

[wheat pivot]

hi! if i have GAMMA installed With UPG and the rebalance option, can I use the update option on the gamma launcher to install the shaders?

[short peak]

I installed the whole thing, can't remember if the map was optional though.

[calm niche]

RTGI best, burn the rest 😛

[green lake]

2 fps

[swift robin]

Says 60+

[toxic mural]

Very nice ss
But you can replace this 2 effects and get better results
Ambient light + fake GI

[green lake]

you wont be able to replicate rtgi with those two effects

you can get close, maybe replicate older less fleshed out versions of rtgi

[toxic mural]

Of course
I mean not worth to lose all of my FPS for more AO on grass

[green lake]

true

you can jsut turn on grass shadows

lol

[toxic mural]

Have a question as I saw your last shot and also all of capas shot
I noticed something like gray ISH

What you guys use for this ?

[green lake]

could be reinline

[toxic mural]

How's work ?

[green lake]

well

basically it

hm

not sure how to explain it

it brightens the images, takes contrast out,

you'd have to see for youreslf

[toxic mural]

You mean it's lower contrast and a little brighter at the same time

Okay
Thanks man

[green lake]

yeah

i think

[swift robin]

is there a good project inverno reshader preset?

[vague silo]

has anyone heard of the BloomDark preset by Lars? and does anyone know where to get it or have the file?

[cobalt parrot]

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

[vague silo]

thank you

[zinc sundial]

Where's the reshade folder?

[green lake]

Anomaly/bin

[zinc sundial]

Found it lol, but thanks anyway

Any preset recommendations that don't tax performance too bad.

[green lake]

you can use some of my older unreal zone presets

ive been told by peeople that use it that it looks great without much performance drop'

look for version 1.3 or 2.0

[zinc sundial]

Looks great, installing now. Thanks!

[green lake]

3.0 is a lot more fps taxing

[zinc sundial]

How is it compared to Capa's preset? I tried it, looked great, lost about 8-10 fps on average in cordon.

[green lake]

it can be pretty taxing

but is a lot more cinematic

[zinc sundial]

Whats with the "MASKS" folder? Is that important?

[green lake]

that's just a different mod i made

[jolly frigate]

which parameter should I edit for a better sky clarity?

[green lake]

for better sky clarity, you want to find 2 effects/

Reveil_top

Reveil_bottom

enable both mods, and move the Revil_top over all hte effects

and then place reveil_bottom at the end of all the effects

should clear up the sky

[toxic mural]

Put your light and color effect between Reveil like what winter said

Your sky looks okay at this shot
But try more place and time

[midnight basin]

what do they do?

[toxic mural]

It's remove fog and gray ISH
Putting AO and lights can give different results

[solemn sparrow]

Is there a tutorial on how to set up shader?

I press 'Home', nothing happens so?

[midnight basin]

reshade is disabled with the latest update, untick 'Delete Reshade .DLLs' from the launcher and update the game

[solemn sparrow]

Okay thanks dude!

Sorry, do I keep force dl's ticked?

[midnight basin]

alternatively, head to \GAMMA\modpack_patches\bin and copy the ReShade files over to Anomaly\bin game directory

do not update to 5.9.2

[solemn sparrow]

got ya thanks

Manual seems easier xD

[solemn sparrow]

Why does everyones trees look better than mine? Makes me sad

Crappy monitor I guess xD

[midnight basin]

max out all the rendering sliders for good looking trees all the time

[solemn sparrow]

Gotcha thanks

[modern cape]

I have a question guys, disabling reshade has absolutely 0 impact on my fps overall, does this mean I am cpu capped?

[stray hatch]

Gonna put this out there more for advice than for people to actually try, I've never messed around with reshade before and I'm sure this is riddled with problems, feel free to point them out to me as I'd like to learn more!

[toxic mural]

It's good
But try lower bloom

Better using ambient light only

Disable bloom HDR adaptive tonemapper light room

I don't have your lut can you send your lut texture please?

[stray hatch]

Where would that be? If it helps this originated with ATMOSGamma and I just adjusted/added effects to get to where I am

[toxic mural]

On your lut menu there's something like "~.png"
You can find it by the name on your C/Anomaly/bin/reshade-shaders/textures

[stray hatch]

I think this is it

it's atmos.png

[toxic mural]

Okay now it's working thanks

[stray hatch]

Also do adaptive tonemapper and light room cause problems or do you think the effects from them are too intense? I do kinda agree that bloom HDR should probably go

[toxic mural]

I can recommend removing all of them and replacing with magic bloom cause it's all in one

[stray hatch]

Oh fr?

[toxic mural]

If you wanna stick with your main design it's okay and all good it's your way for making preset

[tropic vale]

Is this right for capa? I have 1/1/1 basic light settings. The colors are way to strong.

[stray hatch]

Yeah I really hate to remove tonemapper and lightroom, I think they do a lot for the color and shadows, maybe too much, but ig that's kind of what I'm going for, a surreal looking zone. Here's a comparison of what it looks like with and without those two effects

Left is with right is without

[toxic mural]

Very nice then !
But one advice
Don't lose details for much bright or dark

[stray hatch]

Yeah I do wanna adjust the gamma a bit I think, it can a little hard to see sometimes I think esp in interiors, though ig that would encourage more flashlight/nvg use lol

And the skies also can get kinda bright I think lowering bloom should fix that

There was also another issue I was having in the afternoon where looking at the sun just looked abysmal, I'll put a screenshot in here if I see it again and maybe someone will know how to fix it

[cunning gazelle]

Just recently discovered prod_80 midtones shadows highlights, or whatever it’s called. But being able to adjust the levels independently of each other is a game changer for dialing in a preset. You can darken shadows and mess with midtone contras without having to resort to bloom or HDR. I personally feel atmos is pretty well adjusted so you really want to be careful with any adjustments which make whites whiter and darks darker. It is fun to mess with cool effects but we have to remind ourselves that the goal is simply to improve the image. Like I was obsessed with RTGI now am realizing just using some good AO and tweaking shadow brightness accomplishes the same thing and better. Lately what I have been doing is not touching the high end at all, and just messing with the low end with the exception of very small HDR influence.

[stray hatch]

I dunno what low end or high end is ngl lol

[cunning gazelle]

lol of the color spectrum. I’m a music person and there’s so many similarities between dialing in a reshade preset and mixing music so that’s reason my language lol. In music low end is bass, high end is treble. In reshade your low end is shadows high end is highlights. But if you’re trying to really get reshade to work for you, start a new preset with the goal of using as few effects as possible to get the look you want, and start with simpler effects and only use more complex effects if they are absolutely necessary. This approach has really helped me a lot recently. Then tighten up at the end with prod_80 levels

[stray hatch]

Alright, I just messed with ATMOSGamma and adjusted and added things and as long as I didn't notice an fps loss I didn't mind it. Prod_80 def helped though I was able to remove bloomhdr and still have a nice look I think, also adjusted the tint a bit

[neat goblet]

hello is there a tutot on the discord to reactivate resahed pls ?

[swift robin]

!reshade

[void depot]

@neat goblet To get Reshade back:
1. Open your G.A.M.M.A. Launcher as admin (should be located inside [Your Gamma folder]\.Grok's Modpack Installer folder);
2. Disable all the checkboxes and click Install / Update G.A.M.M.A..

Note: This will reset your settings and modlist. If you need to save them - in https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1012510897136222293 type !backup.

[neat goblet]

thx

[rain pond]

How do I apply a reshade? If I download Capa.ini where do I put the file to apply it?

[toxic mural]

Anomaly/ bin folder

[midnight basin]

oh my god they turned this into a command finally

[tardy pumice]

is it safe to launch my game with new reshades if the existing one is still there?

[toxic mural]

It's safe to use reshade no problem
Just don't download newest version

[tardy pumice]

the newest version being the included one or?

[midnight basin]

the newest version being 5.9.2 while the included one with GAMMA is 5.7.0

[toxic mural]

Don't install it manually do it with gamma launcher or go take it from gamma folder

[tardy pumice]

gotcha thanks

[feral smelt]

Can't we use the newest 5.9.2 version?

[toxic mural]

As grok said
No

[feral smelt]

Alr

[wheat pivot]

Hi! so i just installed the Atmosferic reshade following the guide. Can I try other shaders or do I have to uninstall atmos first?

[toxic mural]

When you install reshade
You can try any reshade preset
Don't need to uninstall it just find your liking reshade preset and then drop here
Anomaly/bin

[wheat pivot]

alrighty

ty!

[stray hatch]

Alright, I toned down some of the effects and slimmed down the reshade in general. Uses atmos.png for the LUT texture. Let me know what you think/what I can improve upon!

Still a heavy focus on adding color (maybe too much) to the zone, because the zone can look pretty and be deadly at the same time!

[rigid pendant]

Looks great from the preview! We should probably add it to the database! Interested to check it out 😁

[stray hatch]

Lemme know what you think if you do, totally new to making reshades so I'm certain there's things I can optimize

[rigid pendant]

For sure! A thing a lot of people do is make a normal one and then a light one that cuts out less essential effects.

So like the normal one and a performance one

[placid falcon]

@stray hatchdamnthat looks good

[stray hatch]

Thanks, and yeah I tried to keep performance in mind when I made the reshade, if it dropped any more than 1fps I generally tried to steer clear of the effect. I think it was a little much before since I had bloom and things like that enabled, I'm liking the toned down look more

[lusty temple]

is there a post somewhere in this discord on the steps to properly install Reshade in Gamma? i run the Reshade installer and select "AnomalyDX11AVX.exe" but no matter what preset i download and use it always looks off.

[rigid pendant]

have you done this ?

!reshade

[void depot]

@rigid pendant To get Reshade back:
1. Open your G.A.M.M.A. Launcher as admin (should be located inside [Your Gamma folder]\.Grok's Modpack Installer folder);
2. Disable all the checkboxes and click Install / Update G.A.M.M.A..

[rigid pendant]

Dont use the reshade installer, use the gamma launcher to update

Manually updating reshade causes issues

[lusty temple]

yes, i updated GAMMA yesterday

[lusty temple]

ah gotcha, i didnt know that, thanks

[stray hatch]

Yeah GAMMA uses a specific version of reshade I think

[rigid pendant]

I just dont think gamma has been updated to work with reshade ver 5.9.2

yet

[lusty temple]

then i just enable Reshade in the modlist in Mod Manager?

[rigid pendant]

No, follow the steps here

there should be no reshade in your m02

[lusty temple]

oh so its just built in from the get-go

im dumb lol

[midnight basin]

it's built in but removed with launcher v6

you're not the first one to have asked about this

[stray hatch]

Yeah press the home button in game after following those steps and the reshade menu should pop up

[rigid pendant]

yes, its built in with GAMMA, thats what the little delete reshade DLLs box is for, its just ticked this update. All re enabling it is is just unticking that box

[lusty temple]

got it, thanks chief, sorry for the trouble

[lusty temple]

k so if i want Reshade to work, gotta untick "Delete Reshade DLL's"

[stray hatch]

ngl grok having that lil delete reshade dlls box ticked by default has caused this question to be asked soooo many times...although i suppose less people have fps problems with no reshade

[stray hatch]

Yes

[rigid pendant]

FPS is better but like, I think a light reshade that tackles anti aliasing and adds a bit sharpening as default out of the box is better than nothing

with nothing the edges are insanely jagged and things do not look polished remotely

[stray hatch]

Yeah def agreed, a light reshade shouldn't affect performance at all really and can do a lot to make the game look better

[rigid pendant]

I think a better out of the box solution would be a really light reshade that tackles essential graphical issues while really not taxing framerate that much, and then beyond that people can do their own reshading if they want

[stray hatch]

yeah I tend to agree

[rigid pendant]

I tested it out, and actually had a lot of success playing with a light reshade that just uses FXAA and glamareye for some sharpening / dof, my FPS was great and I wasnt getting distracted by a sparkleshow from every tree

[midnight basin]

i think the issue from Grok's POV is that reshade on its own reduces performance even if not active with effects

it's a small hit but still

[rigid pendant]

yeah I suppose in most situations, not for me though cause my CPU is limited

i see no difference

My lows are still exactly the same, and my average fps in non cpu limited areas is like barely lower using a preset

But then again, 7th gen I5

[stray hatch]

That's true, which ig is why removing reshade dlls is part of #╰⚡fps-optimisation

I can def see arguments both ways but it's not like it's difficult to reenable reshade so I can't complain lol

[rigid pendant]

For me its like a, gain 5 fps to lose 10 years of graphical development

i just dont think the tradeoff is there

[stray hatch]

Yeah totally agreed without reshade my game feels really dull, I've spoiled myself lmao

[rigid pendant]

Another issue is a lot of the built in effects just straight up dont work, like you literally NEED reshade for anti aliasing because the in game one does nothing while absolutely SLAUGHTERING frames

reshade is literally supplementing for the games broken effects

if you enable in game 4X msaa at high and restart the game youll lose 25 fps

and see 0 visual difference

[stray hatch]

Yeah same with the in game grass shadows lmao, MURDER fps

[rigid pendant]

they do work atleast, you can see them working if you turn it up in SSS

Ultra looks insanely good but the fps gets murdered

MCM>SSS>Shadow Cascades

I think medium is the play

[stray hatch]

added IMMERSE MXAO, subtle changes, but no fps hit that I can notice.

[rigid pendant]

I really like the color Hip! I added ambientlight cause I love that effect but basically everything else is the same

[stray hatch]

Glad you like it! I'll have to mess around with ambientlight a lil myself, by default it seems to make very little difference visually

I notice a lot of reshades use it though

[rigid pendant]

try it with these values

and put it

here in the order

see if you like that or notice it there

Disregard the bonus lut pack I'm just messing around with different things, good job btw keep up the good work, I'll see about getting it added to the database ❤️

[zealous crown]

how can u play with so dense grass? oO

i mean FPS - wise

[rigid pendant]

That's the thing, it's a trick! The density is low but the grass height is high so it looks dense !! I'll share my grass settings

[stray hatch]

Looks great, def gonna keep that in the preset

[rigid pendant]

I recently optimized my grass settings and am REALLY happy with what I came up with

[stray hatch]

Ye I'm curious what your settings are too

[rigid pendant]

I concluded that these are the best balance of looks to performance

atleast for my preference, let me know what you think

[zealous crown]

ill have to try that, mine for now are for sure lower

[rigid pendant]

FPS loss shouldnt be major and the zones still look lush but

if your fps is already struggling it might not be for you, but test it out

[zealous crown]

i still wonder why they are, i have pretty decent PC 😄

[stray hatch]

I really like those AmbientLight settings it kind of gives a sort of bloom look without going as overboard as bloom usually does, also FXAA seems to do a lot for the jagged leaves I was having lol

[weary rivet]

You can save 500fps with this one simple trick

[rigid pendant]

😂 its actually so good though

[rigid pendant]

FXAA is really nice low cost AA thats super easy to tweak, also yeah Ambient light is a must if you ask me!

[stray hatch]

Yeah I can see why most presets use it now, just gotta adjust the settings to give it a lil more impact

[rigid pendant]

Try dragging the bottom 2 sliders to 0 and setting the subpix to 350 or 400

[stray hatch]

Alright, was already set up like that for the most part except subpix was 500

[rigid pendant]

Yeah so the reason I do a bit lower is cause

Glamareye has a few good effects to help with it as well

I like to mix the regular FXAA effect with fast FXAA in glamareye, and then also use DoF blur and some sharpening in glamareye to prevent things from getting too blurry

This stuff + fxaa has been the best solution to jagged edges, and trees sparkle by far

that hasnt killed Framerate or added a weird blur like tfaa does

[stray hatch]

Oh ye the intelligent sharpen looks pretty nice

[rigid pendant]

Yeah it's great, DoF blur also is a godsend for dealing with trees I find

Glamareye is insanely good lol

[stray hatch]

Added/Adjusted settings on FXAA, AmbientLight, and Glamareye

I'm def learning a lot as I fine tune this preset, appreciate the help Ky

[swift robin]

Imma try this tomorrow

[stray hatch]

Lemme know what you think!

[supple lagoon]

If I don't crank edge up some, it blurs out the whole image and not just the ugly ass trees

[rigid pendant]

Hmm it might be because I'm at 1440p that I don't notice it as much, I also offset whatever bluryness emerges with sharpness so that the edges and things becomes soft instead of blurry

[quasi hull]

real quick, i cant see any of my reshade ini's but they're all in the anomaly bin. reshade shows me all the default gamma ones tho, atmosR, atmosfilm etc.

i did a fresh unticked launcher update to try and fix but still the same.\

[rigid pendant]

are you sure reshade is pathing to the right bin folder that has all the custom preset .ini?

at the top of your reshade menu where the dropdown is make sure its pathing to the actual folder that has all of them otherwise I cant think of why they wouldnt be showing up

make sure its not going to like gamma

gamma\overwrite*

[quasi hull]

forsure, let me check

yup, that was it thank you. In Settings it shows anomaly bin but shows me gamma path in the actual presets. weird

[rigid pendant]

It happens when you make a new preset, either from scratch or by inheriting the effects of another and making a new one, it sends it to Gamma

gamma\overwrite*

and changes the path

[quasi hull]

gotcha, thanks man!

[rigid pendant]

and then to get that one to show up in the normal folder obviously you just move it from gamma\overwrite\bin to anomaly\bin and then just hit reload at the bottom of the reshade menu and itll pop up

sorry gamma\overwrite\bin

the \bin is important lol

[quasi hull]

Oh ok haha! Cool cool thank you 🙏

[rigid pendant]

np np ❤️ glad thats what it was, it was basically the only thing I could think of lol

[supple lagoon]

I'm at 1440p as well, those trees still a pain tho lol

[green lake]

play in 4k and all the shimmers are gonde

(it still shimmers)

[supple lagoon]

Can't afford that kinda res on 1080ti

[green lake]

how do you afford 1440p??????

[rigid pendant]

I play 1440 on a 1080 lol

[green lake]

what are your frames???

[supple lagoon]

50-80 depending on area

1080's are still great cards

especially the ti

Better pure raster perf than a 3060

[green lake]

well im not 1440p natively

so i get about the same frames lol

when i upscale with my 3060

my laptop is kinda old though

hasnt been cleaned

[queen sundial]

Is it possible that my gamma install doesn't have reshade? I¿m pressing the home key but nothing comes up

[thorny vortex]

reading announcements goes a long way
#📢announcements message

[queen sundial]

Oh cool, no wonder my fps were flying

Thanks

[toxic mural]

Dam how my FPS about to die all the time with 4060

At 1080p not even 1440p

[thorny vortex]

4060 ti 1440p and i average 55-80

[toxic mural]

What's your settings?

[green lake]

dang

i get like 60-50 fps on my 3060

upscaling to 1440

[thorny vortex]

dont remember of top of head but here are my settings
i do use reshade and frosts KVMAS so i could have prob 100fps with base gamma

[green lake]

i bet running the gmae in 1440p natively it would run better

[toxic mural]

I want to give my card a challenge (hope not burning)

[thorny vortex]

i run native 1440

[green lake]

hm

[silent prairie]

I did not understand. How do I turn off what is written there

[rigid pendant]

55-70

Light reshades, no mask overlay, optimized game fully and game settings

Core0 affinity scripts, the whole nine yards

[supple lagoon]

stalker engine is held together with tape and spit

[toxic mural]

If it's was on unreal 4

But look at this game
Still looks good thanks to sss and atmos

[green lake]

hmm same

[stray hatch]

Ironically I get ab the same frames on my 5700xt

core0 and avx both seem to lower my frames by a bit though so I don't use them

Also thinking ab changing the name of my reshade because there's so many similar ones lmao mine is "Hips Surreal Zone" but then we got unreal zone, and I think there was another one with a similar name as well lol

[cunning gazelle]

If anyone wants to try out my reshade, wasn’t really satisfied with every other preset I've tried. My #1 priority is bringing clarity, depth, and realism, with the smallest amount of changes possible. The image has the right amount of aliasing and sharpening to make the image crispy but not grainy, video-gamey, and fake. If you want to use, you will need TFAA so set the path in reshade for the effect to compile, also using default Atmospherics basic light settings, set texture MIP bias slider to 0, no vanilla aliasing, set Sun Rays Base Intensity to 0, and should look great whether force volumetric is on or off in SSS. Made for 1080p so may require tweaking for higher resolutions.

[midnight basin]

MIP bias slider to 0
why? that's the reason the foliage is less sharp in the image

there is no performance difference between it being set to 0 and max

[green lake]

just set it to -0.5

no reason not to

[midnight basin]

how

like what's the command

also this is a 40 FPS impact on my machine @cunning gazelle

so not exactly the most performance-friendly lol

4 types of AA

[green lake]

just

`

mip_bias -0.5

that's the max

technically it goes all the wa yup to -3

but thats overkill

[midnight basin]

r__tf_mipbias -0.5

that is literally the max in the slider

so no need to use a command

[toxic mural]

@marble patio turn of your first shader on preset it's shouldn't be there

[marble patio]

solaris?

[toxic mural]

Yea

I didn't use that one

[cunning gazelle]

It’s not set to 0 for performance but for the visuals. Game is way too grainy when moving with it any higher than 0 IMO

[midnight basin]

huh 🤔

[toxic mural]

Also do you installed old version of reshade?

[marble patio]

yes it's 5.7.0

i fiddled with some options in the debug menu to make it more sunny

[midnight basin]

@green lake can you instruct me on how to effectively use reveil top/bottom

i still don't understand what that shit does

and if i need it in my preset lol

i can post my effect list and you tell me what needs to be done

[green lake]

just do something like this

if your sky is getting altered or washed out by your reshade

then you need reveil

[midnight basin]

i think it might be but mostly due to the LUT?

[green lake]

the in game lut?

[toxic mural]

As you use zone reality I can't say much
Just mess around ambient light
Tomorrow I realise new preset for zone reality

[green lake]

that wont wash the sky out

reveil off

reveil on

[marble patio]

i'm using adega now i disabled zone reality

[midnight basin]

oh damn

big difference actually

[marble patio]

and installed the 2k skybox frostimus is using

[green lake]

?

wdym higher

you mean lower?

[midnight basin]

i don't think it made a difference

maybe my list is out of line?

[green lake]

ok then you dont need it

[midnight basin]

it makes the sky slightly grayer

[green lake]

MIP bias 0

MIP bias -0.5

MIP bias -3

mip bias 3

[midnight basin]

LMAO

fuckin 3

[green lake]

let's stick with -0.5

0 makes textures overall slightly more blurry

[midnight basin]

0 actually looks better 🤔

[green lake]

nah it dont

[midnight basin]

maybe im trippin

[green lake]

it actually makes the textures larger, blurrier, and less sharp

[toxic mural]

Okay then use my user ltx and bring the reshade settings to default

[stray hatch]

Ye that reshade tanks my performance, my parts aren't anything crazy though

[midnight basin]

it's got 4 AA effects layered one on top of the other

[green lake]

wtf

[midnight basin]

i don't know what kind of crazy 1080p setup this guy is using for this to perform well

[cunning gazelle]

It’s my bad, I forgot everyone doesn’t have a 4090 lol. for me it’s only a 6 fps difference on or off.

[green lake]

you do not need 4 aa effects...

why are you playing on 1080p...

ON A 4090????

[midnight basin]

it's 100 FPS => 64 FPS in Rostok

[green lake]

worst part, it doesnt even look tha tgood

[midnight basin]

it looks like not having ReShade on lol

[green lake]

it's just AA

[midnight basin]

there's no color to it it's just plain AA/shadows

yeah

[stray hatch]

Jeez you're cookin em guys

[midnight basin]

well i hope he doesn't take offense to this

[green lake]

nah but explain to me, galaxy

[midnight basin]

it's meant to be constructive

[green lake]

you have a 4090

and you chose to stay at 1080p

and you wonder why your image is so grainy?

[midnight basin]

a 4090 in my country costs almost as much as my car lmao

[green lake]

atleast upscale to 1440p man

you can literally upscale to 4k

[cunning gazelle]

It’s just because that’s my monitor. And personally I need the 4 AA. Doesn’t look as crispy IMO without it. I do use DSR

[green lake]

you do not need the 4 aa

geniunely

you just need TFAA and another

and your screenshot does not look like DSR at all

yeah its not

its just 1080p

[midnight basin]

he's using TFAA + DRME

except there's also FXAA and CMAA_2 in there

for some reason

[green lake]

CMAA_2 geniunely

does nothing

get rid of it

you just need TFAA and FXAA

atmos is meant to be a lgiht preset

[stray hatch]

Yeah FXAA does a lot to get rid of leaves that look like they could cut you open lmao

[green lake]

and TFAA is allready included in atmos R+

im not sure why this preset was made

just to look worse than ATMOS R

[midnight basin]

bro's getting roasted

[stray hatch]

The absolute roast rn jeeeez

[midnight basin]

i think it could just use a bit of color

[green lake]

😭

[midnight basin]

like genuinely a good LUT would do wonders here

[green lake]

yeah thats what ATMOS R is for god damn it

[midnight basin]

and remove one of the AA's

[green lake]

he's just making a preset that's already been made

im just confused

[midnight basin]

fuck i wish i had a 4090 for the performance hit to not matter

[green lake]

on god

[stray hatch]

I dunno anything ab LUT lmao I just used the atmos setup and adjusted it for my preset, could prolly do way better work if I learned it though

[green lake]

he only loses like 6 fps to this???

crazy

[midnight basin]

well remember he might be testing in a CPU-bound area

like with lots of alife that's already tanking performance

[toxic mural]

I mean guys he just tried to share his reshade you know ...

[green lake]

i think he should donate his GPU

[midnight basin]

LOL

for science

[green lake]

yeah for science

[toxic mural]

I think it's enough guys 🙂

[midnight basin]

from the screenshot here i genuinely thought there'd be more color

like i though this is a custom LUT

it turns out it's just HDR i think?

that's giving this vibrant effect

[green lake]

it looked like vanilla to me

[midnight basin]

if it didn't tank performance i'd use HDR in my own preset

[toxic mural]

Just help him make his preset better

don't be like that
Oh your preset BAD !

[midnight basin]

we literally didn't say it was bad once

everything i said personally was constructive

you don't need so many AA's, you do need more color

MIP bias should be higher

and winter was like upscale your stuff

[toxic mural]

That's what I'm saying

For example preset from @stray hatch was too much bright but I explained how to fix and now his preset looks better

[midnight basin]

we don't need to explain to him how to change his own preset that he's made and likes to use lol

i'm just talking about my own preferences

he might be completely okay with how it looks and works

he has a 4090

he can run 6 AA's with no issue for all we know

[cunning gazelle]

Yes exactly this is slightly tweaked vanilla.

[midnight basin]

for me it's a ~40 FPS drop, i cannot feasibly use this

[toxic mural]

Okay then just disable it !

[midnight basin]

what's the point of any discussion here if it's "ok just don't use it"

[stray hatch]

Yeah I will say maybe the criticism was laid on a lil thick, but at the end of the day the only one who needs to be satisfied with a preset is yourself, if you accomplished that then more power to you

[midnight basin]

this is a channel for talking about reshade presets

[green lake]

well

it halves my fps

[midnight basin]

exactly

[midnight basin]

yeah and you have a better rig than mine

i just happened to be in Rostok to test it

[green lake]

OFF

ON

[midnight basin]

the only visible difference being the HDR

lol

oh and darker shadows thanks to that little levels effect

forgot what it's called

highs or something

[green lake]

ATMOS R++

[midnight basin]

oof

the grass shadows

[green lake]

geniunely the same FPS drop with RTGI on

[midnight basin]

gone lmao

[green lake]

idk man

i just think you could have just used Atmos R

that preset basically does what galaxy's does

[stray hatch]

Ye the goal with my preset was to add color and vibrancy while not affecting fps preferably at all since I already struggle with it a little, max I usually get is like 50-60fps, but hell if you have the parts to handle something more intense more power to you

[green lake]

yeah but galaxy was saying that it wasnt that intense

[stray hatch]

Yeah that's true it def has a hit on the fps

[green lake]

also... dont set sun rays base intesnity to 0

there's no point

[midnight basin]

i set mine higher actually

don't know if it changes anything

[green lake]

yeah exactly

you want the rays

you have to check indoors

[midnight basin]

yeah i want them to be noticeable

you can easily see them when walking between the ships at Zaton

or in Yanov

[green lake]

yeah you can barely see them on default

i kinda like it like this

[midnight basin]

how dare you

[marble patio]

@toxic mural installed your .ltx and reverted the settings in reshade

[green lake]

changing the base intensity doenst sheem the hcange it much

[midnight basin]

i raised it to 1.1

[marble patio]

looks quite nice

[midnight basin]

i believe it's like 0.75 by default

[green lake]

yeah it is 0.75

raising it to 2

doesnt do anything

[midnight basin]

did you vid_restart?

[green lake]

nope

[midnight basin]

smh these amateurs

[green lake]

0.75

1.1

it didnt realy do anything

[midnight basin]

goddamnit

placebo ass settings

but they're more noticeable than your first image

how come

[supple lagoon]

Nice and tasteful

[midnight basin]

🅱️

[green lake]

????????

there's barely any difference

(other than the fps)

[midnight basin]

bro just ate shit like that

[green lake]

blawg how do people like their game to look like that

[midnight basin]

argument disregarded

[green lake]

im so confused

[midnight basin]

it's their preference relax

[green lake]

im geniunely tweaking right now

[midnight basin]

lmfao

[green lake]

im too used to having it all nice like this

[toxic mural]

Very nice then!
I have to work with this preset
One more thing
If your FPS dead change grass settings
Lower density and set grass size at 0.9 or 1 for better fps that's it
Also if you wanna autumn look
Set Aydin grass above adega
If you want green look reinstall Aydin grass and set below adega
Have a good gaming

[marble patio]

Thank you mate! i love this preset and i might try the grass thing

[green lake]

although, the native game looked pretty good too

when i was testing the beta SSS 19 and atmos 2.3 beta

[midnight basin]

and all this time i thought these pretty rays were because i set my intensity higher lol

[marble patio]

don't use night vision tho

[green lake]

you'd have to change the sunrays BASE intensity to get something more intensiv

[midnight basin]

that's what i did

wait were you doing the high/low setting before?

i was talking about the slider

[green lake]

i was moving the slide

i was moving the MAIN intensity

not the BASE one

the BASE one makes it look something like it does in anomaly custom

[midnight basin]

i did base 1.1

[green lake]

ew

[toxic mural]

I tested night vision don't know why this happen it's happen even without reshade

[midnight basin]

shut up

not you 0score

[green lake]

i dont really like it because it can drown out the colors and shadows on the grass

[midnight basin]

L take

[midnight basin]

that's fucking dope

[green lake]

yeah

until you get out of the shadows and are actually standing in the rays

it looks like shit

[midnight basin]

opinion disregarded

[green lake]

naw man

[marble patio]

i mean i mostly play on day so i don't see this as a big issue

[green lake]

it geniunely doesnt look good

and blurs the textures

[marble patio]

still is one but it's not that big for me atleast

[green lake]

this looks better

[midnight basin]

ok bro i can also take screenshots in old church

[green lake]

i am the old curch SCREENSHOTTEr

that is MY screenshot location

[cunning gazelle]

Yea I don’t like the oversaturated look of many presets, my preset is mainly AA and lighting. I also want it to look good with force volumetric on OR off. The sun rays in the game can easily wash out the overall look of the game so i think it’s important to balance their visual impact with the other adjustments. I get the criticism, I understand it is performance heavy but it is ample in that the adjustment are pretty simple. I understand people with worse graphics cards have different priorities. For me, I can use 20 effects and it barely impacts the fps, so I can afford to make all the subtle little changes. Atmospherics already does a pretty good job of lighting so I dont really like straying too far into just pushing the darks/lights, over- saturating and going too far away from the original art direction of the game. But I understand there are people who want presets which drastically change the colors etc, i just like a little more subtlety.

[midnight basin]

fair enough

bear in mind i'm also saying this without the new SSS update

i'm still using v5 so that's where this was tested

[stray hatch]

Ye personally I wanted more saturation but more so vibrancy from the zone, so that's the look I went for with my preset

[green lake]

just use atmos r

your preset isnt that useful

its literally allready made

[cunning gazelle]

Ah ok, I’m using SSS 19. If you mess around with force volumetric you’ll notice it changes the feel a lot, so it’s something to take account of when creating a preset. Sometimes I turn it off because it causes buggy shadows around fires

[midnight basin]

wow looks really good
