[blazing helm]

ram is cleared when pc turns off anyway most of the time

[rapid magnet]

Since it went away after a windows and bios reset

Ah

Well it persisted after restarts.. But I never removed Adega

[blazing helm]

I say most because I think it’s either sleep or hibernation keeps the ram

While you’re confirming everything don’t mix and match packs

do one thing at a time, test, record if you want and move on

[rapid magnet]

No no I refuse to do that again.. It's 1 pack or no pack

[blazing helm]

LOL

[blazing helm]

That looks infinitely better

Aight I need to sleep badly I’m already gonna get 6 hours lol but good luck with everything

It looks good so far so hopefully it stays that way

Chat to you whenever we’re both on next, feel free to ping w updates I’ll answer when I’m free

[rapid magnet]

Thanks for the help.. I'll post another when I'm done but no need to wait

[blazing helm]

I wasn’t staying up for this don’t worry just irl shit

[mystic gulch]

dont you think that gun and hands are little bit too bright?

[mystic gulch]

holy, you have my thanks for that

i realized that i have everything in wrong order

its all foggy right now but god damn, I didn't even knew that I can have fog in my game

[rapid magnet]

I have 16 screenshots ready.. All from the same angle and spot.. With different load orders, textures, luts, grasses, everything

[cunning tangle]

I'm not sure why but things seem a bit fuzzy (not sure quiet how to explain it) like the gun seems off and everything at a distance doesn't look right. Any suggestions on how to make this look better?

I'm using a Capa reshade and have some other mods on but can't see why is looks this way

[granite sable]

best reshade for reallity in the zone?

[iron trout]

im trying to have fog in my game but i never seem to have it can someone tell me how to setup my mods so i can have atmospherics and screen space shaders take prioirity?

[storm schooner]

AtmosR and tinker with it a bit, run TFAA and MotionVectors

[storm schooner]

Show us what you have enabled in reshade

[cunning tangle]

It was the Immerse Mxao (or whatever it was called) causing weird shading so I disabled it.

[cunning tangle]

What are you using to make it look like that?

[storm schooner]

Ignore thenon compiled stuff it'' where I've been testing for my new reshade

*it's

[cunning tangle]

What about the ground, which mod is that?

[storm schooner]

ATO Beta 2

With some Adega and RePACK thrown in

[cunning tangle]

Ahhh I was trying Rotten Life but what settings I did it never seems to look muchbetter or change much, even when I put on the 8k it didn't seem to update much. Maybe I'll try ATO

[blazing helm]

What res do u play at??

Also what is NFAA

God that convinced me to put ato back on fuck

[cunning tangle]

How do I get ATO?

[blazing helm]

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uK32x6Rwqu21dbNLlggVSvU8XT5Ja5GD?usp=drive_link

there you go

its the beta 2

which is the latest far

so far*

[cunning tangle]

Thank ya very much

No idea why mine looks so much differnt haha

[blazing helm]

@manic sage do you still use a reshade ver above 6?

if you never did dw i just remember seeing somewhere that you at least used to

[shy agate]

Anyone got some advice on how to make interiors brighter without making the outside blindingly bright?

[manic sage]

I do and reshade above 6 works if you dont change your graphics settings alot

its just when you change them you crash

[blazing helm]

i went to update my tfaa and drme files and it just multiplied the truncation errors that show up LMFAO

but yeah thats fine i barely touch my settings that much anyway

[shy agate]

Any tips on using reshade to improve the darkness inside?

[slow star]

@rapid magnet did you fix the crappy vegetation issue?

[blazing helm]

he did! now hes more or less trying to dial in what he wants

it only took reinstalling his entire OS

[shy agate]

Can someone please help

[rapid magnet]

I'm not sure what caused it but I did :D

Fine tuning getting my grass to work.. Had a lot of lighting issues earlier.. Now for AO fixes and then adding C Conc

[shy agate]

Thanks for nothing i guess.

[tight zinc]

lumscale commands

[tight zinc]

and one is obligated to answer you

you can easily search by that on the discord channels, obviously not the first to ask this question

[lament shuttle]

i reinstalled reshade and now im getting crazy lighting artifacts from oil lamps? very confused as all was fine and if i disable any shader its still like this.

help would be much appreciated

the only light source that seems to be doing ti

it

[gleaming valley]

no need for reshade to do that. use sun_lumscale_amb or _hemi and increase it to make shadows brighter

people nowadays think reshade is the only way to make game graphics better (joking)

[lament shuttle]

? 😦

[storm schooner]

Please use Screen space and not volumetric lighting, it removes the dark shadow around the gun and the player hands

[storm schooner]

3440x1440

[rapid magnet]

Omg that's what it is

Going to do that right now in a sec

[storm schooner]

T#he main difference is that NFAA has an edge-blur method but FXAA is more actual AA with a much harder edge. The nice thing about NFAA is the blur sharpens the farther it is from the camera, so you get a depth effect. From reading a bit it should also be faster than FXAA.

[storm schooner]

Yup and you don't need SSDO with SSS21 either

[rapid magnet]

Yeah disabled that recently

Going to try the volumetric light now

What else does it affect?

[lament shuttle]

???

[storm schooner]

Mainly that and shadows, your shadows will be sharper with SS

[rapid magnet]

Ah okay.. It's still there but definitely less

In the sky I don't see it but definitely when going over trees and grass

[storm schooner]

Have you unchecked the vlumetric light box?

[rapid magnet]

Yeah everything went down

Wait

[storm schooner]

You have a different menu to me

[rapid magnet]

That's just EGUI

Volumetric Light was still enabled in the in-game settings

Rebooting

Aight still very slight on trees with volumetric disabled in SSS and in-game

[lament shuttle]

i reinstalled reshade and now im getting crazy lighting artifacts from oil lamps? very confused as all was fine and if i disable any shader its still like this.

[rapid magnet]

I don't know anything about lighting issues because I'm sitting with my own..

[blazing helm]

@rapid magnet I’m getting some info about it all + the cause of halo etc around the guns from ascii and hippo just waiting LOLOL

[rapid magnet]

Why are you awake

[blazing helm]

I’m

Idk man

I’m cooked

@erandis in SSS settings disable forced volumetric if you haven’t

[rapid magnet]

Trying to change this but it won't let me

[rapid magnet]

Yeah everything is disabled

[blazing helm]

And also increase the volumetric resolution

It will hit performance tho

[rapid magnet]

Ye that made the halo a VERY tiny ring

Basically non-existent unless you look for it

[blazing helm]

You don’t have to keep it there but I’m just trying to see + anon custom weathers makes the issue more visible since they have high sun shaft intensity

Wow nice

[rapid magnet]

If you squint you can see it

[blazing helm]

Yeah so ascii is gonna fix it eventually but ig he wants to use different resolutions for diff things which he can’t do now for volumetric alone

So turning the res up increases it for everything which knocks performance but it’s whatever

Is that at 100?

For the res

[rapid magnet]

Yeah

[rapid magnet]

Bro it legit keeps enabling that I'm going to cry

I DIDN'T TOUCH IT

[blazing helm]

Hm

Is your user ltx set to read only or something lmfao

oh maybe you changed the setting but crashed

Before saving it

[rapid magnet]

Nah but then my Volumetric would've been enabled still

[blazing helm]

Ik if you load cfg but don’t close the game you can load user at any point and it will reset, unless you restart game

Oh yeah true

Imma have to test it out tomorrow and find a middle ground to reduce it without going overboard

The darkening

[rapid magnet]

This is actually a good idea.. I'm going to add cfg zone to my ltx, change my grass back (that also changed).. Disable my AO and then read only

Just for now

[blazing helm]

I wonder if the crashing is messing the save itself up

Maybe start a new one

You already did have busy hands before lmfao

[dusty monolith]

alt tabbing also causes the game to crash with reshade 6 and higher

[rapid magnet]

Borderless fixes this

[blazing helm]

Borderless is literally just worse performance

[dusty monolith]

I play on borderless still crashes

[blazing helm]

unless like in your case where u literally can’t run full screen w out crashing don’t use borderless

[rapid magnet]

That's rough

[dusty monolith]

once effects get re-loaded it crashes

so I just don't alt tab lol

[rapid magnet]

Yeah I had that with 6 and above.. Then I downgraded to 5 and it still happened.. But Borderless fixed it for me at least

[blazing helm]

even in windows 11 with windowed optimisations it doesn’t convert it to hw iflip mode so it’s composed and has worse input delay

5.7 is what gamma uses by default anyway

I ended up not upgrading to 6 but I’ll see what happens I’m all for testing shit

[rapid magnet]

I haven't had any issues so far since going borderless

[blazing helm]

That’s good I’m just letting you know it’s worse perf that’s all so if you don’t have issues on full screen then use it

Not just you but anyone

[rapid magnet]

Would've been a lot better if C Conc was working lmao

[blazing helm]

Is ur lod fix overwriting it

fuck me no wait

I have to sleep 😭

Fwiw the game does genuinely look infinite times better than when it was all broken lol

[gloomy sand]

Hey guys never actually have played gamma before but I did the installation and I play reshade with all my other games, is the installation the same with gamma? Or is it some different method

[rapid magnet]

Nope C Conc is below everything.. I just upped my density and will try again.. But go sleep.. I'm going to bed myself after this test..

[rapid magnet]

C Conc and lighting still broken but calling it a night.. I go sleep now

[dusty monolith]

my game looks pretty similar to yours visually

[mental cobalt]

does ATO retextures grass and vegetations also?

[hushed plank]

Good to know. Always played borderless. Will try later. 👊

[hushed plank]

No. Only texture change to tree barks.

[rapid magnet]

Tried very hard to fix my lighting issue but I think I came right

What it was before.. The whole game looked like a sun shaft was bathing everything

[spark blaze]

Help please. Where can I find the CAPA ReShade halyard?

[lavish lake]

check pins, theres document with all reshades

[robust adder]

stalker but in safari

[robust adder]

!reshade

[void depot]

@swift robin Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[severe kite]

any way to up the brightness in capa reshade? game looks reallyyy dark for me

[zenith thorn]

any idea what causing the terrain not loading all the way 🧐

[tame jacinth]

I activated a reshade and this happens:

How do i fix it?

[gleaming valley]

you are using too much memory. that means you have to much stuff open or your computer isnt good enough to run whatever you are using

[tame jacinth]

I have 32 gb of memory, how's that even possible
And it works now somehow

[gleaming valley]

weird

[gleaming valley]

weird

[fading marsh]

got a problem, my reshade work very well, but when I alt-tab and come back, at the end of the loading of the reshade, its crash

[rapid magnet]

This seems to be a problem with any reshade above version 6.. There are multiple potential fixes but the only thing that worked for me was playing in Borderless.. You could try and uninstall using the Version 6 installer and copying Reshade from GAMMA back over.. I think you use !reshade command for that..

Another method is renaming dxgi.dll to d3d11.dll.. And another method is after uninstalling 6 with its installer, install a version before 6 with a new installer..

If all else fails, a developer on reddit asked me for my logs so that they can see why it's crashing.. I haven't crashed since going Borderless and I don't plan on going through the hassle of making it crash.. So if you want, send the log called reshade.log and I'll send it to them and hope for the best..

[blazing helm]

Why not just use 5.7?

if you manually install just install the version w full add on support

[rapid magnet]

Just giving alternatives for if he wants to use 6+ :P There's nothing wrong with GAMMA's base 5.7 but I know some people have OCD when it comes to things constantly telling you you have to update lmao..

All in all, keep with what GAMMA offers as it is stable for everyone else..

[blazing helm]

Is there no way to stop the notifications for updates?

[rapid magnet]

Probably.. I never looked into it tbh.. But some people won't even think.. They see update they update

[spiral monolith]

Anyone got me like a dark aesthetics reshade?

[tame jacinth]

Now this

[gleaming valley]

idk. broski

[spiral monolith]

try getting rid of reshade and putting it on again

see if this works

[fading marsh]

thanks 🙂

[swift robin]

hi people

been messing with reshades and textures

any help with this thing

[granite sable]

a little more explained please??

[granite sable]

i am confused on how i can make this better cus i got AtmosR++

[swift robin]

my home key does not open reshade

i have reset user.ltx

i have opened the .ini file and changed the imput to the code for the home key (36,0,0,0) and i cannot open reshade idk why

[blazing helm]

!reshade

aw man

[void depot]

@blazing helm Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[swift robin]

ty

[blazing helm]

slow bot 🙄

youre welcome

[swift robin]

i gotta remember that those bot commands are a thing they are so helpful

[swift robin]

thanks so much man its working now

[swift robin]

!reload

[storm schooner]

Yes, you need to run command cfg_load atmos

[storm schooner]

I'll send my full Reshade settings shortly

[storm schooner]

TFAA plus Motion Vectors and play with the lighting

[storm schooner]

Game engine limitations, you have to remember it came out in 2007 and can only utilise 1 core

[zenith thorn]

Thanks

[storm schooner]

You could run the 12GB Prefetcher but in my experience its a Busy Hands hell hole

See hwo you go with it

*how

Running with ATO Beta 2, ADEGA 1&2, Hippos Atmospherics and Adyins Winter Preset

[blazing helm]

are you running them just straight over top of one another

or are you cherry picking textures

[storm schooner]

Just straight over the top for now

Seems to work fine

[blazing helm]

i assume adega then ato right

i imagine adega covers more realistically since its a mix of packs itself

[blazing helm]

yeah that makes sense

thank you

[tall pulsar]

ima go try this

[swift robin]

is this hunter?

[granite sable]

is TFAA a mod or reshade? cu i got the zone reality mod and i have a folder named TFAA at reshades but the folder is empty. Same with the Motiln vectors is it a reshade or mod?

[granite sable]

any ideea on how i can have the zone reality dissabled and eneble the INERNO project cus i want winter in my shit

[storm schooner]

You just need to enable it n the reshade settngs

[storm schooner]

I don't know I dont use Inverno, only during Christmas time, or if it's snowing IRL, check the mods posting

[wraith pollen]

guys is it worth updating reshade from 5.7.0 to 6.2.0, is it better optimized or does it just add new features?

[past shuttle]

do not update to the newest version of reshade. it comes with some problems with shaders and messes things up. Just use the default GAMMA version!

stay at 5.7.0

[wraith pollen]

geez, good thing i asked. Thanks stalker!

[mental cobalt]

can ADEGA and ATO be used together?

can anybody share the link to the anomaly custom weather for gamma??

[past heath]

its in the mod posting section

[mental cobalt]

found it thanks

[past heath]

adega foliage would be compatible with ATO

nice mod posting is a fun place to explore

[mental cobalt]

I'm using ADEGA for a long time now downloading ATO to use them together

[hushed plank]

Of course just give ATO priority (lower) and it will replace whatever I have changed. I built this pack using GTR as a base so same thing there. Or if u know what ur doing, you can combine different folders and create ur own fomod pack.

[old fable]

okay im using ato and adega at the same time with winter grass and trees but i dont get that muddy road in rookie village like you do 😶 is that from another mod ? also my puddles are too blocky, you have them smoothly incorporated into textures 😶

[hushed plank]

Only changes are replacement tree barks.

[cedar egret]

what setting do I need to change so the darks arn't so dark? like its hard to see sometimes when the light areas blow out the dark areas

or how do i reduce the light area

[storm schooner]

Honestly I have no cle, ATO Beta 2 I'm using, are you usng Aydins SSS Compatibility too?

[old fable]

yea also , might check sss once again , looks like terrain upgrade is making those textures and i have a feeling i reinstalled it without terrain upgrade

[old fable]

okay it was terrain upgrade i accidentally turned it off when reinstalling , but LOD is kinda strange when wet surfaces 😶

[kind otter]

Hey guys, just wanted to ask, i have this little problem my game has these jagged edges in the grass and foliage even when i try all sorts of fxaa and stuff in the reshade. Any ideas how to get rid of that?

[wheat yarrow]

how to enable antialiasing in reshade

[silver lichen]

there are many options in reshade pick one of them, fxa msa antialias ones

[silver lichen]

if u have high res custom mods it will be like that otherwise antialiases should smooth them

[rapid magnet]

Try these.. Gets rid of most edges for me

[wheat yarrow]

i dont have TFAA

[wind rover]

This looks crazy good. Do u have extra mods? Or just the 444

[hallow vault]

Getting a black screen when enabling tfaa

[rapid magnet]

But graphically I just have ATO, Rotten Life 8k Asphalt, C Conc Grass, Anomaly Custom Weathers for Atmospherics

[rapid magnet]

No idea.. Worked fine for me

[wind rover]

Holy moly lmfao. I need mine to look like this. Grass looks nice the guns look nice the trees look nice.

[rapid magnet]

So I'll try my best:
Anomaly Custom Weathers
ATO - Anomaly Texture Overhaul Beta 2
Rotten Life (only 8k Asphalt)
Aydin's Grass (Summer grass + Trees)
Aydin's Grass SSS LOD fix
C Conciousness Grass (Summer Overgrown)
Frosty's Weapon Pack + FWP 3DSS
No special ReShade effects, just those in the screenshot..

Made every SSS page in MCM default after installing Custom Weathers..

Changed r2_sunshafts_mode from volumetric to screen_space

I have many other gun packs due to variety because I love doing multiple playthroughs.. If you plan on one playthrough then one gun pack is enough.. You'll most likely not even see them all in a single playthrough.. Currently have 5 weapon packs

[old fable]

are you using SSS Terrain upgrade ? cause i have a issue with it , LOD is not great and i dont know how to increase LOD on sss terrain 🤔

[rapid magnet]

Not that I know of no.. Only using what I mentioned above.. I don't remember ever adding a terrain upgrade unless it's a default with a new version or something

LODs I have comes from Rotten asphalt and ATO terrains

[old fable]

hm, maybe adega is messing with LOD when using terrain upgrade , but when i turn off terrain upgrade then my puddles are too blocky on asphalt with sharp edges ...

[wind rover]

I’m honestly new, I’ve downloaded and played this before but I had a older GPU and honestly didn’t figure out how to fully play lol mainly gun fixing I couldn’t figure out but I’m back and plan on trying to beat the game

[rapid magnet]

Personal suggestion but it's entirely your choice:
If you plan on beating the game for the first time, do it as vanilla as possible.. You can get graphical mods for sure but weapons wise I wouldn't install any weapon packs.. Because it makes you appreciate them more.. If you start off with a weapon pack or two then you won't know the amount of work that actually went into them..

[wind rover]

Probably will do it this way.

[blazing helm]

Don’t use DRME and quint motion vectors, pick one or the other with DRME being a little better quality but more intensive

[wheat yarrow]

i added it but it doesnt appear in shader list

[blazing helm]

Hit reload at the bottom of first page

[storm schooner]

CMAA_2 & TFAA

Try my reshade above

[wind rover]

Can I get those mods on nexus mods? Or

[blazing helm]

@north jolt

Try his reshade

If u wanna see his screens look thru screenshots etc

[north jolt]

Thanks

[modest vault]

heyy, just installed CAPA shaders and it's waaaay too dark.. anyone knows the solution??

[sour chasm]

You really don't need both motion vectors and DRME. You're better off adjusting the values of either to make their effect stronger instead of running both so you're not tanking your frames.

nvm arkiui beat me to it

but yeah, pick one

imo, DRME looks nicer once you tweak it, but it eats a few more frames than motion vectors. Even with motion vectors on full resolution I still sometimes get that "watery" artifacting effect in the distance after all the new SSS updates, so I've moved back to DRME and just take the frame hit because it just looks clearer.

[modest vault]

CAPA reshade.. can anyone help??

[sour chasm]

I've also been using this too. I downloaded it months ago and never tried it but it's actually great. 100% recommend using over the default TFAA (just rename it when you throw it in your main Anomaly/bin/reshade-shaders/Shaders folder so you can tell them apart in Reshade)

[sour chasm]

try turning off individual effects in reshade to see which one is causing it

[modest vault]

It works but shadows are too dark, any tips on balancing it?? Really new to this, sorry

[sour chasm]

which effect fixed it when you turned it off?

[modest vault]

nothing, it was like this whole time

i was in swamps in the middle of grass fields so it made it that dark

[sour chasm]

oh okay. go to console and type: cfg_load atmos

then if that doesn't help you may have to adjust some more individual settings

[modest vault]

okayy, i will take a look, thank you

[sour chasm]

r2_sun_lum_scaleamb can help with darkness in interiors. Current default value is 1.55, but a lower value will make things darker and a higher will make it brighter

r2_sun_lumscale_hemi (default 1.40) does the same for outdoor shadows

[modest vault]

loaded atmos and it looks like a lot of textures are missing now lol, maybe i should reinstall it all

[sour chasm]

loading atmos is just a config file it shouldn't mess with textures

[modest vault]

it was all black even under the flashlight, could it be just shader options?

should ReShadeMe be on the newest version?

[sour chasm]

no

hit page up to disable the reshade effects, is it still black?

[blazing helm]

@modest vault clear your shader cache

[modest vault]

cleared it a few times..

[blazing helm]

hm

[modest vault]

let me check

[sour chasm]

Anomaly/appdata then delete the entire shaders_cache folder, doing it through the anomaly launcher doesn't work

[modest vault]

before and after "page up"

[modest vault]

i tried by deleting just r4

[blazing helm]

is tht not the same TFAA we already have in atmos?

[modest vault]

but it's like pitch black, can't see anything inside of buildings

[blazing helm]

no delete the full shader cache folder from the path mentioned

it may not fix the issue but we kinda need to rule it out and it seems the most likely cause

[modest vault]

still like this inside

[blazing helm]

that was with a game restart right

[modest vault]

yeah

[blazing helm]

can i see your visual mods in mo2?

and it wasnt doing this before using the reshade?

if so, did you have reshade at all before this or not at all

[sour chasm]

Unless Hippo replaced the old TFAA with that one I don't think so? Regardless the settings on that one are clean. Swapping back and forth there's definitely a difference in clarity.

[modest vault]

no, it was working perfect

[blazing helm]

sounds good ill have to test it out

yeah but did you use reshade before trying this one out?

[blazing helm]

tf

[modest vault]

no, basic 444 mods

[blazing helm]

reshades not a mod

but i see

to use reshade did you follow the bot command?

or install your own

[modest vault]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z51uAKqoLQM&t=729s i was following this video

done every step

[blazing helm]

one sec lemme skim the video

i heard people saying there was a little mis info in this vid but i never checked it out

[modest vault]

rebooting after deleting cache folder meanwhile

[blazing helm]

rebooting the pc isnt needed, you should close the game first, then delete shader cache, then open up again

thats all thats needed

but feel free

[modest vault]

done it, starting a new run, let's see

[blazing helm]

@modest vault if you look into your bin folder within anomaly

do you have a folder named reshade-shaders

that doesnt just have those two files you downloaded for capa

[modest vault]

still the same

[blazing helm]

what does hearting those mean

[modest vault]

i have a lot of stuff in there

[blazing helm]

also

dont use in game aa

its super performance intensive

[sour chasm]

I believe SMAA being enabled causes some issues with SSS too. Try turning that off if you have it on

[blazing helm]

smaa is fine w sss but doesnt play nice with 3dss

but also

if ur using reshade anyway theres no need

[modest vault]

it's on off rn, still the same 🥲

[blazing helm]

hm

[sour chasm]

did you install ADEGA

[modest vault]

both parts, yes

[blazing helm]

why tf did he put adega way up there LMFAO

bring adega back down to beneath atmos

ill show you my order one sec

have you seen that vid cheddar

😭

[sour chasm]

yeah I'm going through it now lmao thats why I asked

[blazing helm]

bro its like

first he doesnt copy the bin folder which is part of the original reshade bot command

he throws adega way up there to make it more confusing

in game aa

😭

im cursed

one sec ill post my ss

[modest vault]

i did that tho, saw it in the comments l;ol

[blazing helm]

ah okay thats fine, thats why i got you to check before because i saw he didnt bother

i was concerned hahah

and by "him" i meant the dude in the vid not you

[modest vault]

all clear and thank you 💯

[blazing helm]

these are all of my visual mods

most of them, you dont need to worry

but for example you can see where i have adega

[sour chasm]

really ADEGA is fine anywhere under 190 - Screen Space Shaders

no idea why tf he was putting it so high

[blazing helm]

also

why does he not install improved gloss and wet surfaces what

am i bugging one sec

@modest vault pls close the game delete shader cache folder again, then reinstall screenspace shaders again with these options here

sorry i was ticking them haha

so, enabled everything EXCEPT 04 & the optional wind module for 10

well and dont touch the last one either but you dont need to worry at all about that now

sorry i missed out 1 or 2 lines at the top

the dude in video doesnt even select the fog either + he also uses the optional vanilla wind man what the

[modest vault]

done 😄 i will try now

[blazing helm]

its not your fault at all either btw, youre new and the vid has gotten a little popular recently

ive seen it a few times

fwiw, you dont need to update your screenspace shaders with updated gamma now, its named SSS ver20 but its actually 21 idk why grok didnt change it

[modest vault]

OMG finally, thank you so much looool

[blazing helm]

does it work now?

@modest vault

[north jolt]

Was there an update for aydins Grass tweaks or why do you have it installed 2 Times?

[blazing helm]

the 2nd mod is the SSS terrain lod fix

[modest vault]

yeah, thank you so muchj

[blazing helm]

@modest vault you also updated your atmos install right?

if so you need to go to your SSS settings in the MCM and hit default at the bottom for every page except for the depth of field page

and then apply

and make sure you run cfg_load atmos if you havent already through the console

[modest vault]

this happens when i look down

[blazing helm]

i think thats an SSS problem but do what i said with the settings first

disable reshade to test and see if it happens too

although, when is the last time you updated your gamma install?

or did you only download it very recently

[modest vault]

wait how to get to SSS settings, i got confused a bit

yeah, a week ago

[blazing helm]

esc, then to mod configuration menu

or MCM

itll show you a menu with a bunch of mods settings, scroll down to SSS and click it

then hit the default button at the bottom on each and every page, some sections have 2 or 3 pages in themselves so double check

then apply after

dont do it to the depth of field page though

atmos doesnt touch that

@north jolt its a seperate fix to sss20 terrain upgrade(parallax etc) since it was having issues ig, im not exactly sure myself

i guess it just wasnt represented in the lod if there were puddles etc

idk how it works 😭

[modest vault]

done it all, still happens tho

[blazing helm]

hm

i havent played in a bit i cant remember if thats normal now 😭

do you have soft water enabled in the in game video settings?

it should be near the bottom

[modest vault]

just disabled it

still happens

[blazing helm]

no no

leave it enabled

i was making sure it was on

but yeah idk

[north jolt]

Wait so are you supposed to only enable either 289 aydins or the fix? When i started modding gamma, i also followed that trash ahh video and he put aydins Lod fix right under aydins and enabled both

[blazing helm]

nah haha

even the actual mod page here in gamma for the fix states it should be very low in the order

i put it at the bottom of any visual settings

if you use adega for the foliage and trees though

as long as you dont have any textures or foliage that overwrite the grass/ground there you dont need either enabled though

[north jolt]

Fuuuck thats why adega didn't work for me when i used it

[blazing helm]

to be fair it should have still worked up there although i didnt watch the vid close enough i saw that and went back here lol

[sour chasm]

it's always best to just follow the instructions in the actual mod's readme or discord post imo

[north jolt]

Idk, the optional sky shit didn't work fs

[blazing helm]

that only needs to be below atmos

but you need to make sure youre not using things that overwrite the skybox below it

like adegazr or zone reality remade etc

[sour chasm]

We have a similar setup. How do you like anomaly custom weather and ATO? and what all are you using from Rotten Life?

[blazing helm]

im only using the 8k ground module from the fomod

im not using the lods either as the ATO lods are similar enough for me not to notice and then i also dont need to deal with the ground grass 01 lod

i also hide ground_earth_01.dds + both bump files for it, as i want to use ATO's version of it and the bumps to match

was an idea from erandis

[north jolt]

So you're not allowed to change the dof settings in sss?

[blazing helm]

you can change it all you want

i was just saying atmos doesnt touch it so hitting default doesnt put on some magic atmos dof settings

[sour chasm]

I always change my DOF settings I hate the default values

[blazing helm]

mhm

personal preference

i myself tone down the intensity ever so slightly as base settings have my 1911 sights among others slightly blocky when it blurs for dof

[sour chasm]

the weapon dof's are particularly shit and I half like everything

[blazing helm]

when i ads*

[sour chasm]

peripheral blur gets turned off entirely too

if I want a focusing effect I just use ADOF

and thats usually just for screenshots

[blazing helm]

ye pretty much

i dont like dof kicking it at random times so i dont bother using any extras

kicking in *

[sour chasm]

yeah I turn it off for all animations

[blazing helm]

same

which is default anyway

[sour chasm]

in the past it used to get bugged and you'd be stuck with a fuzzed out dof after a broken animation and you had to trigger another DOF change through an action to fix it

[blazing helm]

yeah

it still happens sometimes randomly too

but hitting ads for a split sec fixes it

[sour chasm]

I don't even chance it I just turn it off, its super annoying to have happen in combat

[blazing helm]

its kinda cool if you enable weapon inspects again too lol

free thumbnails 😭

but also free busy hands possibly

[sour chasm]

weapon inspect also makes me angry lol

[north jolt]

Same shit happens to me, i think it is normal

[fickle crystal]

okay so i might be dumb but i cant find the topic on how to re add reshade. can anyone plesae help me

[blazing helm]

!reshade @fickle crystal

there you go :D

[fickle crystal]

thanks! 😄

[north jolt]

how to install it?

[blazing helm]

left is spooky's reshade unedited, right is atmosr with tfaa+drme+smaa enabled but left in order

@ 1080p

[north jolt]

guys does this load order look healthy

[blazing helm]

move aydins above SSS

the top one

main mod

the bottom needs to be where it is thats fine, but the top one needs to be before SSS

[north jolt]

and texture mods like rotten can be anywhere at the bottom?

[rapid magnet]

[blazing helm]

yes

obv you keep in mind them overwriting each other

[rapid magnet]

To the other 2 I haven't responded to (if you see this)
The reason I use both DRME and Motion Vectors is because it makes no difference to me resource usage wise by running both or just one.. And neither looks like it makes a difference visually either so I just have both in case

[blazing helm]

dont use both 😭

just stick w DRME and set it to full quality then if you want

[rapid magnet]

I'll do that once I run the game again.. Woke up from a 6hr nap I need to focus on staying alive rn lol

[blazing helm]

theres no pressure obv do stuff when you want to do it haha just making sure you have the correct info

[rapid magnet]

Nah I appreciate it.. I just gotta wake up lol

[sour chasm]

what if you're using ADEGA and want summer grass? doesn't adega have to be below SSS and aydin's under ADEGA?

[blazing helm]

You put aydins below adega and then hide the bump/bump# files within aydins

Since adega provides its own bumps

that are good

[sour chasm]

okay that's what I had I just wanted to be sure

[blazing helm]

Sweet

[sour chasm]

so far so good

[sour chasm]

What's everyone using for bloom these days

I used to use solaris with regrade and fakehdr but I'm enjoying dialing everything back to base AtmosR at the moment. I can't get BloomingHDR how I want it tho

[sour chasm]

okay nvm fakehdr + prod80_02_bloom feels good after some tweaking

[rapid magnet]

As long as you are comfortable with that then it's fine :)

[blazing helm]

after all that i ended up realising i had the wrong version of the aydins tweaks installed LMFAO i had a double install of the regular grass and no lod fix since i had downloaded the wrong file 😭

[sour chasm]

we're getting there. I like how over the top bloominghdr can be but it was making my mornings and evenings way too bright and saturated

this is more subtle but I don't get quite as much bloom from smaller sources like fires, anomalies, etc

[blazing helm]

Are you forcing volumetric in SSS?

[rapid magnet]

Everyone has their own preference.. The only issue I have is the sky being non-existent.. But I know there are some who like it like that

It's just personal preference

[blazing helm]

i dont like mine being non existent but i also dont want it too bright blue ig idk

some version of inbetween

[sour chasm]

yeah I don't like it super blue either

I definitely like more overcast weathers anyways

any of the cloudy or partly cloudy weathers are a whole vibe

[sour chasm]

yes

[blazing helm]

ah was gonna say that might boost the smaller things a little bit nvm

could try increasing the vol intensity?

although i dont know the full extent of what it touches lol

[rapid magnet]

It's just my regrade doing that.. Regrade will completely remove the oversaturated blue

I'll send an example in a bit.. Sorting out my MO2 since it's been a mess after fixing stuff

[sour chasm]

you can use reveil to fix that if you want

just keep regrade between reveil top and reveil bottom

[rapid magnet]

Nah I don't need a fix :P I prefer my skies really blue.. I meant that I can make the clear without being blue if I wanted to

[sour chasm]

ah gotchya

[rapid magnet]

Example of what my regrade does

With vs Without

Have to make it full screen and go between the two to notice it properly.. Difference is much more noticeable in-game

[sour chasm]

left is still too blue for me imo

[rapid magnet]

Yeah that's with it on

Like I said my regrade does that.. For personal preference

Point is, I like seeing my sky :P some blooms just take it too far especially when there's fog.. And I don't want to rely on other reshade effects just to fix bloom..

[plain swan]

Guys, there used to be a reshade preset called R.A.W. - Rays of Anomalous Worlds.

Is it still usable or has it become outdated?

[rapid magnet]

Hasn't been updated since 2023 so I doubt it's as good as what we have now..

[sour chasm]

Real talk most of the presets feel outdated now

[rapid magnet]

Yeah I don't use any anymore.. Either make my own or just pop on AA.. LUTs are where it's at these days

[old fable]

serious question , can i get this result with LUTs? high highlights and lower shadows and midtones ? if yes then im in! my custom reshade is fps heavy , loosing like 20-30fps when using it , i bet LUTs are not fps heavy so if i can manage to make result like this im switching to LUTs

[rapid magnet]

I don't see why it can't.. But I don't know of any LUTs that are to download right now that will do that.. You might have to make your own if you know how to.. It can definitely do high highlights, lower shadows, and midtones.. It can even do color grading properly so you can filter your colors with it too..

I only use Reshade for AA and nothing else.. You can get your screenshot's results with a tweaked LUT from Emergent Zone 2

https://discordapp.com/channels/912320241713958912/1224348512280379494/1282680111522385964

If you know how to edit it, then Binary would work well for you

Binary is the 2nd screenshot/winter option

[rapid magnet]

If you just edit the highlights then it's basically the same as your screenshot.. Maybe some color grading too.. And this was without any reshade effects.. Since I started using LUTs I jumped 25-30fps

And if the base LUT (even tweaked) is not good enough, you can at least disable half of your reshade effects and get the same result.. Boosting fps still

[old fable]

i dont know how to edit LUT but im ready to learn and edit it to my liking, just need proper tutorial or manual how to edit myself...yea that screen which i posted is bit older, i changed blueish tone to be more white balanced but it looks almost same

[rapid magnet]

Yeah I don't know how to do that unfortunately.. But this is how it will look like when it's done..

Maybe even add some Rotten Life 8k grounds and you'll be golden

[old fable]

im afraid my laptop with rtx 3080 will not handle 8k grounds 😂 but ill give it a shot

[old fable]

okay ill look into those folders and figure it out by myself

or just google it how to make 😂😂

[plain swan]

@rapid magnet I just read your chat with @old fable, and thought I'd ask the both of you --

As compared to say a year back, when i remember the reshade presets genuinely made a world of difference. Somehow I feel that with all the new beautiful texture packs like ATO, Anomaly Custom Weather, Atmospherics, MBTT, Grass overhauls n whatnot, that reshade just doesn't do anything major.

Am i right in feeling that, or am I mistaken??

Also, what is your go-to setup for the visuals in GAMMA ? Say, I do a completely new GAMMA install, fresh, with only the installed reshade + Atmos that comes with. What tweaks are the best for the dark indoors, since balancing the lum scales outside can be managed quite easily.

TL;DR -- Is reshade shit now, or no? Also, how fix dark houses ? 😛

[rapid magnet]

Ooof good question.. That to me is personal preference.. Many people still use reshade for a number of reasons.. Some texture packs and LUTs have reshade presets as optional downloads to enhance them even more.. Like Emergent Zone 2 with his own preset and Rotten Life with Coar RTX reshade.. If you want some nice bloom and popping lights then sure go for it..

Compared to a year ago (that's when I last played as well), the modders have done some crazy shit and I personally do not need/use reshade for any special effects.. Your dark indoors can be fixed with a number of mods atm..

With some others randomly scattered around but those are the 3 main ones..

Atmospherics had updates recently which is not in base Gamma right now.. I'll include about 10 random screenshots to show you as well.. Custom Weathers ontop of latest Atmospherics fixes all dark indoors for me.. And nights in general are brighter.. Not enough for you to see without a flashlight/nvgs but the moon is an actual light source..

TL;DR -- Most reshades are outdated and superceded by weather/lut mods..

None of these screenshots have any reshade effects

[old fable]

okay i was writing similar thing soo i just gave up when you posted this 😂

i fixed dark interior with eye adaptation 😃 i set it up to increase brightness but not too much so i still need to use NVG/Flashlight/Glowstick

[old fable]

those are your screenshots ? what hand models are you using? 🤔

[rapid magnet]

I'm using MHP.. It will be included in the next big GAMMA patch as seen in https://discordapp.com/channels/912320241713958912/920428335509692466/1281913881429545015
If it looks a bit too smooth then it might be the female patch I'm using as well.. I'm not sure where in the wrist it stops but the skin is changed as well.. but gloves/sleeves from outfits are from MHP

https://discordapp.com/channels/912320241713958912/920013807479296042/1284309569958449212

You guys can also have a look at this.. SpookyF4 is using his own Reshade preset found here:
https://discordapp.com/channels/912320241713958912/927860562677878795/1284293934738178058

So the Reshade itself has a lot of effects enabled but none of them have massive effects.. It's mainly to even out some inconsistencies and other stuff like that.. But actual effects are not enabled/very very minimal..

So GAMMA as a whole has changed massively the last year where you can come right without any reshade

[old fable]

well im using MHP also but damn it doesnt look like yours 😃 i like it much more 😂

[rapid magnet]

https://discordapp.com/channels/912320241713958912/1112579306309292072
I got some patches from here but it shouldn't be that major.. It was a merc outfit if that helps.. The hands themselves have black fingernails and tattoos.. But the tattoos are barely visible unless early in the game..

The 2nd screenshot is an old one with scuffed lighting and older graphical mods but the hands are what I'm trying to show, not the rest lol

[old fable]

well im using merc outfit here and its not that good 😃 or am i just blind and don't appreciate myself? 😃 mine doesn't have that camo like yours 🤔

[rapid magnet]

Probably because it was an older/weaker suit.. My current suit looks similar to yours.. But the female MHP patch might have changed the gloves slightly.. But the sleeves are identical

And I didn't choose the watch

[plain swan]

DAYUMM BRAAH those screenshots !!!! A UBISOFT exec just bit his/her tongue somewhere I swear !!

Imma HAFTA try this now. As for Reshade, i guess you just gave me the push I needed to lay off it and see what's what in the LUT-game !! Thank you so much for this detailed reply 😄

[old fable]

oooooo okay 😂 my bad 😂 when ill be home from work ill check other outfits

[rapid magnet]

This is my graphical load order if you're interested.. I know SpookyF4 also has his load order in one of those links I sent

[old fable]

also @rapid magnet are you using hd models or kvmas merged or what? i dont like GAMMA vanilla models much and cant find something more HD , KVMAS is good but i had random crashing problem with it so i turned it off and get back to vanilla

[plain swan]

Hmmm .. question ... what's with the multiple-installations of Rotten Life and Aydin's Grass !? What's the hidden bumps and LOD compatibility, and how to do these installs ? Cuz i remember if you install a pre-installed mod it asks to overwrite.

HAAOOO !?

[rapid magnet]

I don't.. I did a week ago but I saw that https://discordapp.com/channels/912320241713958912/1143233268595044493 is no longer supported.. Or well, there's no more support if shit goes wrong.. So I stick to base GAMMA which is still better than base Anomaly (29- Dux's Innemurable Characters Kit made some cool changes to base models but it's not HD)..

And HD models as a whole is not my preference.. It kinda looks like clay on my side.. Very little reflections but that's just me.. They are designed very well I just don't like them very much..

[old fable]

yea thats also the reason why i dont use kvmas , okay then ill stick with gamma 😃

[rapid magnet]

If you rename the install before you actually click install then it will create a new separate mod.. I have multiple for if I want to switch.. Then I don't have to reinstall.. I just need to untick Summer and tick Winter for example.. 2 clicks and back I go, it's just a time saver.. No need to reinstall anything.. The LOD fix is for Aydin's grass.. At a distance it looks wonky so the LOD (level of detail) patch will fix that..

The bumps I had hidden in the files themselves because ADEGA has its own bumps for Aydin which work better and I haven't gotten to unhiding them since removing ADEGA.. But it makes no difference in my game so far..

Like there.. If you just rename it it will create a new separate mod

[plain swan]

Dangit .. That .. makes complete sense I also keep the previous clean versions unticked and rename the new ones ..

Pardon my brainfart 😛 😛 😛

[rapid magnet]

In terms of how to install them, most have their own custom fomod (MO2 installer) where you can choose your options.. And in-depth install guides..

The only thing I can say:
Unfortunately, I cannot help if anything goes wrong or something like that.. If you look at my history by searching my name in this Discord server, I've had countless upon countless issues with textures and lighting and to be quite honest, I have NO IDEA how I managed to fix my game.. I sat with many people for days on end trying to get my game the way it is now and it's mainly thanks to them and tinkering a lot..

[old fable]

@rapid magnet and are you using SSS terrain upgrade ? i like it how it feels etc, but LODs on that sucks... i have grass LOD fix for SSS but still SSS Terrain Upgrade LOD suck!

[rapid magnet]

Someone asked me that yesterday as well I think.. I honestly don't even know what that is lmao.. But Rotten Life has it's own terrain and LODs in the pack so that should fix it.. But I've never heard of or used SSS Terrain Upgrade

From what I can see, it was a mod to be installed ontop of SSS but it was released 8 months ago.. I'm pretty sure that Ascii fixed the terrain issue by now.. There's been a few SSS updates since then and a new one coming soon-ish

The Terrain Upgrade was in Update 20 which was the one before the one we have now..
GAMMA has Update 21 by default if you've installed GAMMA recently.. It still shows as 20 in MO2 but that's a naming error

[old fable]

maybe that was me 😂😂 well when i use adega and ato i dont get those bumpy textures on road , mus etc, my puddles look flat and blocky, with terrain upgrade puddles have height, roads mud is also bumpy 😃 but LOD is awful ... you can see in a distance loading them like minecraft chunks...

[rapid magnet]

Yeah if you can afford to use Rotten Life then I would do that tbh.. The bumpy textures are most likely caused by r2_parallax_h

With Rotten Life I only chose 8k Asphalt and it's working pretty well so far..

There are low and medium LOD options too

[old fable]

well im afraid that my laptop with rtx 3080 wont handle those 8k textures 😃 but i will try

[rapid magnet]

You can give it a shot.. I know laptop GPUs are slightly smaller and a laptop is combat so that heat needs to go somewhere (those tiny vents are not the best).. But I currently run it fine on a 3060

[old fable]

well yea heat is problem mostly and sometimes RAM 16gb ram is not enough sometimes 😃 are you using pc gpu ?

my laptop is asus zephyrus so thin gaming laptop 😂 when i turn gamma on it starts making noise like jet 😃

wife can hear it and she's in bedroom which is behind 2 rooms with thick walls! 😃

[rapid magnet]

Yeah then maybe it's not the best idea.. Rotten Life does have other smaller options with LODs as well.. I'm on a Desktop so there's lots of ventilation

[old fable]

yea, well ill try 8k and see if it will not explode 😂 but for example i used Vehicle redux buut it stuttered like hell , so i got rid of it because it looked to me same as default gamma with sharpening reshade 😂

[past shuttle]

What do you mean with the hidden bumps thing? Can you explain it in more detail?

[rapid magnet]

https://discordapp.com/channels/912320241713958912/1192574018398715904/1281958692174168105

This is all I know.. I don't fully understand it either but nothing in my game looks broken so I just do it xD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5P5vSD3u1k

This kinda explains it in a way if that will clear it up

Currently, ADEGA has better bumps than base Aydin because it used Aydin in its pack.. But it uses Autumn.. So if you want something like Summer or Winter, you need to hide the bumps in Aydin so that ADEGA bumps take over.. That's if you use it with ADEGA..

[past shuttle]

Ok, thank you for the explaining that. To be honest i never heard of this. Saw your loadorder screenshot and got curios.

[copper wave]

What's the best looking anti aliasing while still being performance friendly? I'm Using AtmosR shader

[tame citrus]

That is just insanely beautiful, gonna use that.

[old fable]

@rapid magnet okay i installed rotten life asphalt, wish me luck 😃 hope it will not burn down my laptop😂

[sour chasm]

IMMERSE + FXAA does pretty well imo

just make sure you set the first few sliders in FXAA to the minimum values that make a visual difference, it looks much too blurry at higher values

[old fable]

@rapid magnet dont know if rotten life is working , but i installed anomaly custom weather on top of, and sss terrain upgrade paired with rotten life asphalt and damn looks good with my reshade 😃 also my performance is much stable abd better with theese mods then without 😂

[rapid magnet]

Glad it's working :) I can't say if that's Rotten Life.. Doesn't really look like it.. So there's probably a mod with Asphalt that's overwriting it (below Rotten Life in MO2)

[old fable]

well rotten life is last in my lo 🤔 also terrain upgrade has proper LOD now when using rotten life

which asphalt do you use ??

[rapid magnet]

I use Rotten Life 8k

[blazing helm]

if this is merc ACE then i have the same gloves using MHP with no female patch

[old fable]

well i tried all merc suits and none of them has those gloves sooo probbably i have older MHP 😃

[old fable]

oh thats when it says 12gb vram is needed and i have to check the box ? i thought thats only for textures which were on previou page

[blazing helm]

1.7.2 is latest

they did change some textures with latest update according to notes but im not sure exactly which ones

[old fable]

okay i have 1.7.1

[rapid magnet]

Ye then it's that

So the female patch just changes fingers on open gloves

[old fable]

my rtx 3080 only have 8gb VRAM so probably it will destroy my gpu 😂 lets test it out!😂

[copper wave]

Thank u 🙂

[old fable]

okay so @rapid magnet this should be rotten life asphalt 😃

[rapid magnet]

Yeah that looks about right

[blazing helm]

contrast is a little nuts

[old fable]

mine ? 😃 well on my display it shows with less contrast 😃

[old fable]

yea but 8k was overkill for my setup

[north jolt]

wait arent you supposed to put aydins above sss?

[rapid magnet]

I've never had it above

[sour chasm]

that's only if you're not using ADEGA or something else that's providing their own bumps

[north jolt]

got it

[sour chasm]

like if you weren't using adega, ato, or rotten life, and only aydin's it goes above SSS

otherwise it's only ever under SSS when you're replacing grass in a texture pack that already has their own bumps

[north jolt]

guys how to install this reshade

[blazing helm]

Ah maybe just calibration ig

[rapid magnet]

For me I only placed it in my Anomaly bin folder and it showed up in my Reshade

Although for me the effects are minimal.. But that's just my side.. Left without, right with

[north jolt]

well im downloading it for aa but thanks

[old fable]

FGFX was causing that much contrast 🤔 i turned it off and screenshots are much better without it

[sour chasm]

Don't discount calibrating your monitor tho, most default profiles suck for just about every monitor, even nice ones.

just google your monitor's model + "calibrated icc / icm profile" and there's usually one on an AV forum somewhere that's likely good enough

[blazing helm]

yep monitor calibration is gonna save you so much pain esp with weather and lighting mods lol

youll always find yourself adjusting things haha

[sour chasm]

yeah you have to set a good baseline for color accuracy, brightness, and black levels through your monitor first or nothing will ever look right

hardware > software > application

[old fable]

well i know what are you talking about , i was working at retail and i was calibrating TVs for customers and monitors 😃 buut now im not working there and im too lazy to calibrate own TV or monitor 😂 but yea got you, ill do that one of theese days

[storm schooner]

Place it into this folder, make sure you download V1.2 and not 1.0

[storm schooner]

Wprking on V1.2 for my reshade

[vapid moat]

how do i turn on reshades? i know theres certain packs already in GAMMA i can use but i don't know how to install them without breaking anything

[storm schooner]

!reshade

[void depot]

@storm schooner Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[vapid moat]

do i have to do the reshading myself or is it like presets?

either way is fine i just want to be prepared

[storm schooner]

No some are in GAMMA itself already for you to choose, I like AtmosR & Zone79

[vapid moat]

like if i use the agressor reshade or something?

and do i need to do the reshade steps in order to use the ones already present?

would i be able to just check one of these and go with it or do i need to prep reshade like in FAQ

i don't want to break anything

[storm schooner]

You jjust need to enable it, then hit your home key in game and pick which one you want from the drop down

I don't know about aggressor, you won't break anything, if it does just disable it again

[vapid moat]

okay

[storm schooner]

I make my own so I don't really use the other presets

[vapid moat]

thank you

[storm schooner]

Np

[vapid moat]

How do I actually use reshade? like change things and stuff? is it in the menu?

[storm schooner]

Theres a list of effects once you press the home key, just turn autosave off at the top right and play about as you see fit

For the love of God - THNAK YOU! I was strugling with the flickering trees for hours and your guide to switcg on TFAA worked like a charm!

[plain swan]

I feel like I've stumbled upon the dead sea scrolls here.

Whoever this user was, I wish him all the good things, I truly do. This little trick enables the goddamn Nvidia Game Filters for GAMMA. Just the first effect RTX Dynamic Vibrance is so much more visually responsive with tweaks than entire goddamn reshades.

Am i getting excited over nothing here guys ? Anyone used the Nvidia Filters !? Please someone talk to me 😛 😛

[fair root]

no problem, check the pinned messages on the channel cuz it has a FAQ if you have any more questions

[jovial shard]

So I messed up reshade a bit and I am wondering if there is a way to just reinstall reshade for gamma? do I just check delete reshade DLLs in the installer?

[plain swan]

First time ?? Here ya go buddy 😄 #╭📖faq message

[jovial shard]

thanks buddy, just pasted it and going to see if its fixed

[hasty geyser]

guys some help here dont know what to do tried everything

[old fable]

quick question, if not reshade , is this LUTs ? or just weather anomaly custom weather mod with atmospheric etc? because im trying to make it work without reshade but my colors are washed out 😃 i tried with LUTs and without but other than color changes my game is not looking as good as yours and i doubt thats monitor calibration 🤔

[rapid magnet]

I only play with LUTs.. Atmospherics just released an updated one.. My monitor is also not calibrated.. Not sure why your colors are washed out

[old fable]

so i should probably update atmospheric got it, aand ingame setting are you using volumetric light or screen space or both??

[rapid magnet]

I only use screen space but it's personal preference.. After updating atmospherics I went to SSS settings in MCM and clicked default on every page

[old fable]

yes same , but i mean inside gamma ingame settings not MCM there is Sun Ray Mode and there are 4 options OFF /VOLUMETRIC /SCREEN SPACE /BOTH
which one do you use ? because when i switch to screen space it is not washed out , volumetric is washed out for me 😃

[rapid magnet]

I'm on screen space as well

[old fable]

ookay then everything is fine 😂 thank you for your time 😂

[rapid magnet]

No worries xD

Mini update on how my game looks like now

[old fable]

no reshade ? what LUT?

[rapid magnet]

Nah no reshade.. Only using the new Atmospherics LUT

Down to here

All of those files get copied directly into Atmospherics directory

[old fable]

okay thank you 😊

okay i changed it soo hope it will work

[rapid magnet]

Just remember to delete your shader cache and use cfg_load atmos in console after loading in

Check if there are new defaults for SSS as well

[old fable]

yep thats main thing 😃 oh new defaults ? like where i can check?

[rapid magnet]

Just click default on every page in SSS after updating atmospherics

[old fable]

oh okay i thought i need to update sss for that 😂

[blazing helm]

atmos versions change what would be the default SSS settings

so that its easy to use the atmos settings

[old fable]

okay good to know

[frank lagoon]

anybody got reccomended reshade settings, im on a fresh install from abt a week ago and my game could look better

[scarlet sparrow]

That aone
Gamedata > textures > shaders

There is no textures folder 😦

[rapid magnet]

You put it in Atmospherics directly.. There's a textures in there.. Not in base Anomaly

[scarlet sparrow]

What location is that.. ?

bin\reshade-shaders ?

[rapid magnet]

GAMMA/mods/
Look for Atmospherics

Then once in Atmospherics you go to that gamedata and copy it over and replace

[scarlet sparrow]

What about these two? where do they go?

first one here? 290- Atmospherics Shaders Weathers and Reshade Latest - Hippobot

Foud where to first one, what about Atmos?

[old fable]

atmos goes to anomaly folder appdata

[scarlet sparrow]

Ahh roger, and how do i select this prest ingame?

[old fable]

open console and put down this line cfg_load atmos

[scarlet sparrow]

and one? no need to do smth like here? #╟🎑reshades message

[old fable]

well you go to MCM settings when ingame , find SSS on the left side and open every sub-setting of SSS and hit default , then apply and you are good to go

[scarlet sparrow]

it worked?

[storm schooner]

Help with what exactly

[lunar grove]

are there recommended values for Atmospherics?

[storm schooner]

No but use Screen Space instead of Volumetric otherwise you'll get shadows around your gun

[blazing helm]

If you don’t like the lighting from screen space just turn volumetric resolution up it’ll help that issue*

[static trout]

do you guys prefer the hunter reshade 1.0 or 2.0?

[old fable]

new LUTs from atmospherics not working? 😄 default gamma pre installed Atmospheric worked like a charm , but latest one not so much 😄

[blazing helm]

did u clear your shader cache folder

[old fable]

yes

[blazing helm]

did you touch SSS in any way

[old fable]

noup

[blazing helm]

You say new luts

[old fable]

everything is set to default

[blazing helm]

Was this with that mod someone made

Or seperate files

[old fable]

it was LUT from hippo which he posted on mod-posts

[blazing helm]

In the atmospherics channel right?

[old fable]

yes

[blazing helm]

so it would have been like 4 different files

[old fable]

yes 4 or 5

one is zipped

[blazing helm]

reinstall atmos again and try this instead #1036172060969410590 message

just place it right after atmos

[old fable]

i tried to post this issue on Atmos channel but i cant

[blazing helm]

it’s the luts in a mod form

well a patch

Yeah too many people or something I think in the forum it’s annoying

Idk why discord does that

[old fable]

ye i even tried that 😄 reinstalling atmos , putting patch just below and same

[blazing helm]

Might be a silly question but how did you clear shader cache

Did you do it through the launcher?

[old fable]

nope , appdata and shift+delete , shader chache folder poof and then launch game

[blazing helm]

I’m using the new LUTs myself and they’re fine

wtf

I hate this game some times man

is that just the first launch?

that’s still weird

Does reinstalling atmos and not using the lut work?

[old fable]

well wait 😃 even after reinstalling atmos , deleted shader cache , and not applying lut patch still same issue 😂😂😂

[blazing helm]

ok so not the luts hm

[old fable]

thats what i tried now and not working 😄

[blazing helm]

maybe try re-downloading the atmos mod again

Possibly corrupted? Kind of a long shot

more likely to be something conflicting but is that the only new thing you changed?

[old fable]

well im gonna try redownload ofc

ye thats only thing what i changed

well weird 😄 yesterday it was working, now i came back from work, booted up laptop , launched gamma and puf this happend

[blazing helm]

yeah this game does shit like this sometimes

you didn’t update your exes or anything did you?

while we are at it, mind if I see your load order? Just whatever’s around atmos/visual stuff

[old fable]

well, i came home added LUT to latest atmos cause on older Atmos it was working, yesterday i was using latest atmos without LUT (only on older atmos i was using those LUTs )

[old fable]

no i didnt

[blazing helm]

And it was fine yesterday?

the new atmos without lut

[old fable]

yes it was 😄 thats the weirdest thing LD

[blazing helm]

bruh

[old fable]

ye ye new atmos without was working

[blazing helm]

😭

Yeah snap a pic of load order

I highly doubt there’s anything there that did this

I’m sure this is usually shader issue

Are you using reshade currently?

[old fable]

like im using also anomaly custom weather with atmos (properly patched etc) but i dont think thats the issue , cause that i started using a while ago 😄

well only for vignette , and some CA

[blazing helm]

I’m using that as well myself

And not even updated

I’m assuming it still is broken even with reshade disabled ?

tbf reshade shouldn’t have been touched anyway

[old fable]

ye it is still

but older atmos was working right, now nothing works 😄

is this enough?

[blazing helm]

Yeah that’s plenty

What is the custom SSS

also throw beefs in before SSS

[old fable]

thats just SSS 21 with all the same settings as default SSS 21 which is in latests gamma , i just used that as an alternative without terrain upgrade etc, but now it is same as in gamma profile

well i never touched beefs before o.O

[blazing helm]

Are you 100% sure you didn’t accidentally miss a setting

[old fable]

pretty positive

[blazing helm]

Yeah it usually comes after enhanced shaders and before SSS

As SSS has a patch for it

[old fable]

so beefs befor sss and after ES

[blazing helm]

maybe reinstall SSS and 100% make sure that you don’t miss anything except the ice shaders and optional vanilla wind

yea

the SSS thing happened to someone yesterday since they had followed a vid on graphics settings lol

not saying you did the same, I doubt it as you know what you’ve done already but can’t hurt to try

[old fable]

well i never touched beefs because i dont know what is it for 😄 😄

[blazing helm]

Night vision

Or better yet just use the gamma SSS

It comes w everything haha

[old fable]

ye i was just reinstalling default SSS, because of terrain upgrade and fog but now it is same as default 😄 but honestly idk why i have rn two of them 😄

[blazing helm]

mhm make sure you clear shader cache again

[old fable]

well i delete shader cache every time i add new mod to list 😄 juuust in case 😄

[blazing helm]

you say you just reinstalled default sss

[old fable]

are you using extra weather cycle ?

[blazing helm]

Do you mean that’s what the custom mod is for

or you just reinstalled it again now

[old fable]

yeee 😄 custom is reinstalled one 😄

just renamed

[blazing helm]

Ok cool had to make sure

yes I use the extra cycle myself

optional

[old fable]

okay just making sure because me etoo

me too*

[blazing helm]

sweet

What grass are u using btw

something other than autum?

Autumn*

[old fable]

aydin summer

[blazing helm]

Ah ok

[old fable]

i need to clear my lo , like what the fuck 😄

primarly rename everything to make it clear for everyone else if i sometime in the future share my lo again 😄

[blazing helm]

it’s a little messy yeah haha

well you don’t need to rename everything

since that’s what people have when they install too

[old fable]

ye just those things which i edit

[blazing helm]

it wasn’t a problem I just wanted to say if you are using autumn then adega has its own foliage and bumps

so disable aydins and the lod fix

but dw

[old fable]

ye i reaally dont like autumn , i use mostly summer or winter grass/trees

[blazing helm]

Yeah fair

any luck w the SSS thing

[old fable]

im gonna test it out, i just redownloaded custo weather , custom weather patch for atmos and latest atmos itself , booting up game so we will see

well reinstalled everything i mentioned above , aand its working now 😄 weird anomaly o.O

okay so now i deleted shader chache , added lut patch aand we will see what happens

working , okay soo dont know what went wrong but yea working

[queen barn]

hey yall, quick question. when i hit home to bring up the reshade menu it doesnt do anything. is there something im missing?

[blazing helm]

!reshade

[void depot]

@queen barn Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[blazing helm]

follow this

It was disabled by default a while back

[queen barn]

awesome it worked, thank you. any suggestions on things to turn on to make it look better?

[old fable]

@blazing helm can i use new weather type from custom weather and its patch for atmos with existing save right?

[blazing helm]

yeah should be fine

did it end up working btw?

[old fable]

would they load properly ?

yee i reinstalled atmos , custom weather patch, its patch and now its working , so dont know what went wrong but i just reinstalled and viola working

[blazing helm]

feel free to ping hippo and ask

but I’m pretty sure most people won’t start a new game just for atmos

[old fable]

and thank you for advice for correct placment on beef, and other advices you gave me , hope it will now work

naah i dont want to bother him with theese basic level questions 😃 i also think should work on existing save 😃

[storm schooner]

Welcome to the rabbithole that is reshade in GAMMA, that's a very big question, I'd go with AtmosR, add TFAA and go from there

[sour chasm]

AtmosR feels wonderful

I'm going to keep plugging mine because this is the happiest I've been with how my game looks in 2+ years

cfg_load Atmos
r__color_grading 0.5, 0.4, 0.1

[blazing helm]

Atmos body or nothing

😈

With lens turned up to max

damn u don’t like blue very much do u

[sour chasm]

no

[blazing helm]

I feel atmos is pretty warm already no?

[sour chasm]

WARMER

[blazing helm]

Well neutral honestly in comparison to some of these reshares I see

[sour chasm]

it's pretty neutral def

[blazing helm]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-fire-flamethrower-burn-on-fire-gif-7684110515453159552

[sour chasm]

It really depends on what season you're playing

I'm on a summer run rn so this feels great for that

[blazing helm]

I wanna try make winter trees work so I can use binary for it’s true purpose

[sour chasm]

I want to do a winter playthrough but with minimal snow

I remember some people running inverno grounds under winter grass and it looked sick

[deft orchid]

I traded the exoskeleton i yoinked from a bandit for my own faction's (clear sky). Installed a new power supply and charged it. Item desc still says I can't sprint with it. Is there something I'm missing? Or can certain faction's exoskeletons just not allow you to sprint?

I could sprint with the bandit exoskeleton. Perhaps I did something to upgrade it, but I can't for the life of me remember what

[rapid magnet]

This is #╟🎑reshades which is not gameplay related..

But, take it to a technician.. Regardless of batteries, some exos need to be upgrade to servoboost motors to sprint.. It's usually at the bottom of the upgrade tree

[deft orchid]

Whoops, thought I was in the newbies channel, sorry 🥲 Thanks, that was it

[tropic glacier]

no matter what i do my reshade looks like dogshit ngl

especially the LUT

also grass and terrain looking like this gives me ultra mega cancer aids

[short peak]

What reshade and lut are you using?

[tropic glacier]

as per the LUT i change it often cuz i dont FEEL the like change yk

its either color burnt to shit or not noticeble enough for me to be like MAN I LOVE RESHADE

yk?

[short peak]

Are your grass shadows on? What does it look like in daytime?

[tropic glacier]

looks normal is just like when its start getting darker

[short peak]

I think that's more the game engine/lighting rather than reshade then, grass does tend to be illuminated a lot more than the ground.

[tropic glacier]

ah i see

as per my LUT idk rn im running Breeze and it looks like this

its 5am ingame for reference

i added a bit of bloom

[rapid magnet]

To add to this, it also depends on what texture packs you are using.. Some darker textures don't work fully well with Aydin's Summer grass.. You'll get that and no reshade/lut will fix that for you..

[tropic glacier]

aight

what do you suggest to fix the grass then

cuz like

im a bit of an autist when it comes to this type fo stuff

[rapid magnet]

Some of my areas do that too and that's because of my terrain textures

But in other areas it looks fine

The only thing I can suggest is to up the height and density a bit so that you see less ground.. Make the grass cover as much as possible

The more dense grass you have, the less dark ground textures you see

[tropic glacier]

gonna try and hopefully my pc doesnt blow up

[tropic glacier]

and you're not using reshade in this if i gahtered correctly

[rapid magnet]

Yeah I don't use any reshade except for AA

[tropic glacier]

aight, imma see how it all plays out and stuff

thanks again

[rapid magnet]

I'm not saying this is perfect.. But it's literally just this with Reshade AA and Screen Space sun shafts.. I have made no special changes to my game..

[tropic glacier]

idk looks perfect to me lmao

[old fable]

screen space sun shafts ? what ? where can i find it ?

[rapid magnet]

Yeah but I see some crazy shit in #╟📸screenshots

Many of it has added DOF for more of a cinematic look.. Or they adjust the time and weather to get the perfect picture.. Where my screenshots are all in the moment.. I don't look for the perfect spot, time, and DOF

[rapid magnet]

In the console.. Just type in "shaft" and there will be a "mode" option.. Change that from Volumetric ot Screen_space..

I only do screen space because my country is not humid so sun shafts make no sense to me.. Screen space looks more "realistic" to me.. But if you live in a humid country and you see a lot of sunshafts irl, keep it on volumetric

[old fable]

well i live in a typical slavic country so 😃

[old fable]

okay so just this and its done okay

[rapid magnet]

Left = Volumetric
Right = Screen Space

Left = Volumetric
Right = Screen Space

If left looks more realistic to you, then you live in a humid country.. It's all personal preference at the end of the day

Screen space makes the game slightly darker but it just suits my style more

[old fable]

well i like both but riht is more for me cause of darker tone

right*

[rapid magnet]

Yeah play around with it and see how it goes.. If it's a tiny bit too dark later in the day you can tweak some bloom in reshade but I haven't done that.. I just go to sleep earlier or use nvgs

[old fable]

yea nvgs and flashlight 😃 i dont want a bloom , cause of fps loss and sometimes its but too much

bit *

[blazing helm]

@rapid magnet the screen space vs volumetric thing literally has a setting in the game settings

don’t need to use command

[rapid magnet]

It's just easier for me to command it xD

[blazing helm]

command is faster though ofc, but in case someone new doesn’t know

yeah dw me too

[rapid magnet]

Ah yeah of course.. Just find it in settings to make it easier

[blazing helm]

I can’t wait to play more today

I still haven’t had a chance to actually start lol

it’s been nearly two weeks

[rapid magnet]

Yeah I can't wait to continue either.. Especially after I managed to add the thermal to my favorite gun.. I feel so accomplished getting that right..

Athi worked serious magic with this

[old fable]

oh so command and that setting in base game is same ? okay then im all set 😂

[old fable]

thermal? is there mod for it or is it in gamma ?🤔

[rapid magnet]

It's in FWP 3DSS atm.. And it will be in the next base 3DSS update.. So it's not fully released yet..

Gauss scope and Red dot

[rapid magnet]

If you use https://discordapp.com/channels/912320241713958912/1277740537344168016 then you can buy it from certain T5 traders for A LOT of money.. It only supports the EFT AR Pack and a few others (1 shotgun and SMG I think, could be wrong)
If you use https://discordapp.com/channels/912320241713958912/1219433143069708299 then you'll have to wait for the next update for it to release properly.. The Gauss Scope is out already but the red dot will come next and support a lot more guns..

[old fable]

okay im using fwp and 3dss fwp , but i hope its not only in latest fwp because i read that he removed some weapons and when i update i need to start a new game and i dont want to start a new gaame 😃

[rapid magnet]

The thermals got released in the update just before the latest one.. I also didn't update it yet because I want to finish my run first..

You can always check MO2 if you have it.. The section of FWP 3DSS that adds it is called [10] Frosty Thermals - 9.15.24

[old fable]

yea im not that far but i managed to find in first gold stash basic tools and on second gold stash advanced tools 😂 repaired shotgun and new armor and helmet , so now i feel fulfilled 😂

[old fable]

okay i dont have that

[rapid magnet]

I'm almost done with the main story.. Two or three missions left.. Then I'll spam through Sin and Operation Afterglow.. Then I'll update FWP..

I might possibly drop it completely and just use base 3DSS but will see how that goes.. I do have too many guns so shaving a few won't matter to me too much.. But I'll see how the updates go with both mods before I decide..

[still egret]

Hi guys. Initially I have asked about it in noob chat but thought that this is a better place for my question. Is there a way to get rid of the 'flickering / shimmering tree leaves' completely? I have FTAA enabled in Reshade and have tinkered with filter strength, clamping etc. It helped a lot and the problem is no longer extremely annoying, but I wonder how they do it in Expeditions and Custom. All the videos I have seen of these addons do not have this problem at all.

[lavish lake]

Motion vectors+TFAA

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

Check pins there, good start

If you are 2k or 4k, you can try AA via nvidia

[old fable]

@rapid magnet do you think that when i use Dynavision i can create own LUT ? 😃

[acoustic lark]

there is any setting reshade in 4k for better performance ?

[sour chasm]

the only thing you can do in reshade to help performance is just turning it off

[lavish lake]

Yeah thats easiest 20+ fps

If you are on 4k, and you dont like jaggies,try 8x AA in nvidia

For me it works same as reshade but performance vise its little bit better

No reshade 8x AA nvidia, stable 60 fps except heavy areas. Everything to the max including ssr settings

3080

that's pretty much atmosR + TFAA & DRME, and a touch of HDR + Depth haze

[wispy rapids]

anyone know how to fix this on the trees? forgot how to fix it tbh

nvm figured it out, it's something to do with fxaa

actually it is the sun ray, volumetric causes that, screenspace does not

do u guys know how to change shaders with INVERNO mod?

@cosmic iris 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.

left volumetric light and right screen space light, EZ lut , reshade only vignete, ca and i lowered a little contrast and little increase black level and decrease white levlel , whad do you think , any suggestion is welcome , kinda now i like volumetric , even though i used screen space for most time because how dark it can be

oh yea and latest Atmospherics paired with anomaly custom weather

best preset from atmospheric?
