╟🎑reshades

[blazing helm]

SSAO Mode

turn that off

entirely

[blazing helm]

as now SSS21 provides ambient occlusion from itself

if you use the in game one it double renders

if you still find some shadows too dark, turn glamarye fast effects off within reshade menu

although its a minimal addition from that shader

[scarlet atlas]

alr lemme restart game

[blazing helm]

ah

HBAO as well

i have a feeling that iirc it was buggy

im picking it was that if this is the case

either way off is better now

[scarlet atlas]

so ssao is off

[blazing helm]

yep

[scarlet atlas]

and glamarye

[blazing helm]

mhm

still the same?

[scarlet atlas]

ye

up here its even worse

[blazing helm]

i have no idea

and its bugging me

[scarlet atlas]

never had this before

[blazing helm]

did you clear shader cache again

[scarlet atlas]

ye

[blazing helm]

if not i guess try that

[scarlet atlas]

when u told me ye

[blazing helm]

[scarlet atlas]

hahaha

[blazing helm]

i mean w the restart and turning SSAO off

tbf

[scarlet atlas]

a

ok

1 sec

[blazing helm]

i dont think youd even need to

but im grasping at straws now

[scarlet atlas]

alr lemme try the shader cache again

[blazing helm]

worst case, you could try resetting user settings

since it might be some hidden shadow command

[scarlet atlas]

with ssao off

[blazing helm]

but idk if youve touched anything like that anyway

[scarlet atlas]

i mean i did

[blazing helm]

gg

[scarlet atlas]

like defaulted everything

[blazing helm]

i mean in the actual settings not SSS

[scarlet atlas]

yes

[blazing helm]

[scarlet atlas]

does this need to happen every time?

[blazing helm]

ive never had that happen

ever

[scarlet atlas]

i mean

game works fine

[blazing helm]

maybe you had some corrupted download for the gamma launcher then

[scarlet atlas]

i updated it

to 6.4

today

[blazing helm]

yeah i know

but downloads can corrupt all the time

[scarlet atlas]

but this was before that

[blazing helm]

im not saying it is that

so

wait

so you had mo2 installed still from last time, then updated using the new launcher?

[scarlet atlas]

i think so

mo2 is 2.4.2

[blazing helm]

afaik that should be fine

but ive never seen that error

[scarlet atlas]

2.4.4*

[blazing helm]

from me or others so far

but i dont troubleshoot a lot

[scarlet atlas]

game opens, runs no problem right

[blazing helm]

yea

[scarlet atlas]

ez

now lemme load in

and see the void

[blazing helm]

you might wanna ask about the mo2 error in one of the support channels

since im gonna assume some other issues can be derived from that

if not then sweet but this is stalker after all

[scarlet atlas]

same void as always

[blazing helm]

yeah

so its not reshade anyway

although, you could try disabling it entirely again to test

[scarlet atlas]

ok

[blazing helm]

but def hit up one of the support channels

and i dont mean turning the reshade off in game, i mean getting rid of the dxgi.dll file

you can just rename it

[scarlet atlas]

how do i do

[scarlet atlas]

this

[blazing helm]

its a file in your anomaly/bin folder

just rename it and you can even just add backup to the end like dxgi.dll.backup

[scarlet atlas]

and like

what happends if i do that

reshade just dissappears

[scarlet atlas]

ok done

still the same

@celest steppe do u remember how u fixed this from last night?

[celest steppe]

i think my problem was with me trying to update sss

and when i disabledthe new sss it fixed itself

but in your case idk how to fix the problem

[scarlet atlas]

dan

damn

[celest steppe]

yeah sorry mate

probably a fresh install is the only way

[scarlet atlas]

damn

well i got nothing else to do

and didn't get far in the game tbh

ill see if it helps with anything

[celest steppe]

you can keep your save file on a fresh install

i dont know specifically how so i suggest you to ask in the newbies chat or somewhre else

[scarlet atlas]

alr man

thx

[scarlet atlas]

yo guys guess what

fresh install did it

i cannot believe

[sour chasm]

you just copy your saves from Anomaly/appdata/savegames to another folder somewhere and reinstall Gamma. They shouldn't get deleted but that's the best way to back them up.

[celest steppe]

Woohoo

Did you try to install reshade yet?

[scarlet atlas]

i did

its on

like last time

but i somehow lost 10 fps

before i was getting 75-80 now i get 65-70

nvm i fixed it

[celest steppe]

Good

But there still probably should be less FPS cuz now it's rendering shadows

Or maybe not idk how the engine works

[outer wagon]

how did you solve the problem

[mighty heath]

just did a fresh install of reshade, installing the hunter 2.0 set seems to be causing my reshade to have a stroke and bricking all my other reshades as well

worked perfectly fine afterwords

[blissful hull]

Hi Guys. I am the new player for this game. I have a question that is if I using Reshades for this game. Will it affect the fps?

[tight zinc]

it depends on the effects you turn on

some won't reduce your fps at all, others will take like 10 lol

[blissful hull]

32g RTX 3080 laptop

Win 11

[tight zinc]

not the specs, but what you have turned on in reshade

i.e. anti-aliasing will eat fps

[blissful hull]

Also, do we need to set the Gamma system play on Fullscreen

[blissful hull]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qFw_4pgE8A

[blazing helm]

also dont watch the vid next to it

[blissful hull]

wow. Are you using texture mod or reshades?

[weary zodiac]

I use everything at once

[blissful hull]

ok.hahah

[polar tusk]

hi guys, in your opinion wich one is the best reshade for gamma?

[misty echo]

best is subjective but i really like atmosr, hunter 2.0 and frostys #1207404150955184219 message

[wary kettle]

None, the included Atmospherics LUTs and "Emergent Zone" LUTs from this server are objectively superior in performance and IMO in appearance too. If I didn't have the GPU overhead for supersampling I might use Reshade for DRME+TFAA but that's about it

[heady nimbus]

Wow.

[celest steppe]

any way to make insides lighter without raising gamma>

?

[slate magnet]

try "eye adaptation" in reshade

you need to configure it, but it works well

i could also give you my config aswell

[celest steppe]

sure if you dont mind

but im using modded textures

[fair inlet]

How do I install shaders

[celest steppe]

follow this directory and copy the bin folder

then paste it into this folder

replace the files when asked

[slate magnet]

Yeah, I also do, here: [EyeAdaption.fx]
fAdp_BrightenHighlights=0.412000
fAdp_BrightenMidtones=0.235000
fAdp_BrightenShadows=0.359000
fAdp_DarkenHighlights=0.000000

fAdp_YAxisFocalPoint=0.500000

[polar tusk]

how do i disable shaders?

[craggy hornet]

hey I'm quite lost and I need help with installing reshade I remember seeing guides on this discord but I can't find it

[misty echo]

drag these 2 files from here and put them in your Anomaly > Bin folder

[craggy hornet]

yeah thats no longer a problem srry

thats fixed now

but I will take some presets you reccomend tho

[misty echo]

you can either use whats installed or try the database #╟🎑reshades message

[craggy hornet]

aight thx

[misty echo]

also i use this one when not on inverno #1207404150955184219 message

you dont need the textures

[snow sphinx]

is reshade still pre installed with gamma or am i tweaking

cant get the menu to pop up

nvm ya boi locked in

[craggy hornet]

humm why is depth of field turning on every time I turn it off

[misty echo]

reshade is disabled by default

[misty echo]

you have to go to the sss section of MCM and disable it

[craggy hornet]

which section would that be?

[misty echo]

mcm > screen space shaders (sss)

[craggy hornet]

yeah but then there is a shit ton of other sections

[craggy hornet]

dam you edited a pic FOR ME I'm honored

but thx alot fr

[misty echo]

XD no problem

[craggy hornet]

but yeah I still have dof but I just putted every ss setings with blur to 0 and its a lot better now

[misty echo]

you could reinstall sss and disable the dof module

also ignore the ice version thats just for inverno use the regular water

[craggy hornet]

btw just saying I speaking as overall dof not just weapon (just wanna make sure we're on the same line)

[craggy hornet]

yeah back from the start

I turn it off

then turn itself on

[misty echo]

disable the module

untick the box

[craggy hornet]

in reinstall sss?

if be happy if someone gives me shaders for GAMMA, plizz

[swift robin]

What reshade should i use for GAMMA

Any recommendations?

[rocky tartan]

for anyone who encounters the TFAA black screen bug, i managed to fix it on my end by activating all the effects i'm gonna use, then going into settings and ticking the "load only enabled effects" box

[copper wave]

Im getting like 18-20 fps in alot of areas, running arrival, ccon grass, ATO and atmosr reshade, grass shadows on and population on 0.65 etc.

RTX 2080 with ryzen 7 2700x, and 16gb of memory

which pc part upgrade would be a good start to make it run better?

also im on 1440p

[rapid magnet]

The 2080.. But I definitely wouldn't pay money and upgrade a PC just to run this game..

Grab the downscaled ATO.. There's a 2k version somewhere on moddb.. ATO for some reason drops my frames more than Rotten Life does and Rotten runs mostly 8k.. Grass shadows can be disabled as soon as SSS22 comes out.. Arrival seeds and leaves can be toned down a bit.. There are many tweaks that you can do for much more frames without having to pay money for it

[copper wave]

Thanks alot man, it looks so gorgeous so i keep wanting to use these settings, but ill try ATO downscaled 👍👍

Do you know when ish SSS 22 will be out?

[rapid magnet]

Not 100% sure.. The alpha is on their Discord but you gotta pay to access it.. In general, if you feel like it's time to upgrade anyway then go for it..

Without seeing any major visual changes you can download the downscaled ATO and maybe reinstall CCon and choose the 4k option too.. With Arrival you can also tone down more than just the flying seeds and leaves.. Like slightly less intensive sparks and stuff.. With ATO and Atmospherics you can actually get away by just using DRME+TFAA in ReShade.. No other fps reducing effects..

If your game is perfect for you AND you want to spice up other games AND your PC is old, then by all means go and upgrade your stuff.. Double your RAM, get a 12gb+ GPU, and up that CPU as well..

All of GAMMA plus your other mods are a bit intensive for 1440p on that GPU and RAM anyway

[tight zinc]

I think it will take some time, cause there's some nice stuff being worked on right now which will probably require some deep testing
But it's totally worth supporting them to have early access to the alpha builds etc, highly recommend it

[misty echo]

if you getting 20fps with a 2080 something else is going on

turn your in game settings down

that shit aint even playable

[steep bridge]

^ a 2080 should be perfectly capable considering i managed 45-60 on a (laptop) 2070, lol

I'd say upgrade CPU except I'm not sure how much you'll even benefit considering this engine only utilizes 1 core anyways, iirc

[misty echo]

i have basically all the same shit using a 4070 laptop and get like 90+ fps with some occasional dips in heavy combat

which is basically like a 4060ti desktop

[rapid magnet]

I guess it depends.. If he has the 8gb 2080 then yeah that's a tough one.. My game currently is eating 9.2gb.. Don't know why ATO is eating so much either.. It has the same texture sizes as Rotten but I easily get 10fps more with Rotten

[misty echo]

yeah rotten is def lighter than ato

seems like a case of just needing to lower in game settings that dont make much difference but tax tf out of your pc

[rapid magnet]

Ye I would recommend tweaking some mods first (like the 2k ATO), then think about upgrading.. For all we know his cpu/ram is bottlenecking him hard.. Or his mobo is ass.. Or it's an HDD.. Or all of the above

I can't talk much.. I'm still struggling with fps lmao

[misty echo]

oh no

say it aint a hdd

i mostly just run stock settings with a few tweks here and there

tho my gpu def gets hot if i turn on tfaa and drme

i try to avoid tho

[rapid magnet]

Nah my game is on an nvme.. I just dump too many mods ontop of each other and my game doesn't like it much

I use DRME+TFAA because of 3DSS.. I can't stand seeing the shimmering and jagged edges

[misty echo]

thats why i like the summer foilage

hardly any shimmer

[blazing helm]

reshade aa doesnt do anything for aliasing in scopes with 3dss anyway

nothing does

[copper wave]

Yep im on normal rtx 2080, so 8gb I think?

Honestly I might get around 40 fps in some areas, cordon for example runs good, but went to dark valley yesterday and had around 19-21 fps. Unplayable haha. I think maybe where its more populated.

But yeah instead of turning settings down ive turned em up because it looks so good haha

ill tweak it down tomorrow and see

Im on nvme ssd 🙂

thanks everyone

For AA i just run FXAA with atmosr reshade, and then sharpening, DRME and TFAA wasnt for me

[misty echo]

1440p makes it less noticeable

[blazing helm]

could even try cmaa2

intels ver

or even that and smaa

[copper wave]

Yep tbh I dont mind the AA or wintertrees its just the shitty FPS

what population do you guys run?

[copper wave]

definetely

[misty echo]

i like cmaa over iaa. it seems to do its job a tiny bit better but could just be bias

i am switching around the lut settings but nothing happens

[rare cove]

what options do I have to directly target shadows and brighten them without brightening anything else? Just seems like I can go into a building with all windows and barely a roof and its so dark inside while its a sunny day outside. Kinda playing with my headlamp on all day since batteries are cheap

[silver rover]

also have tfaa enabled but it looks like it adds some kind of motion blur any way to counter this?

[rare cove]

okay nevermind eyeadaption on reshade is fucking lit too bad you cant set it to ingame time. It kinda nerfs night time. Does the "darker nights" option in regular settings do anything? was hoping it made it pitch black dark like rust so turning up the lighting doesnt really brighten anything to counter it.

[blazing helm]

DRME and set the quality higher if you want

A thing i discovered just now, the effect "Levels" is very good for in-doors, if theres no source of light, the game gets really dark, very nice in underground or abandoned buildings!

@dark nova
To bring your mod list, settings and keybinds back to default, inverting any changes made by you:

1. Open the G.A.M.M.A. Launcher with admin rights
2. Uncheck every box EXCEPT Delete Reshade DLLs
3. Click on Install / Update G.A.M.M.A

Note: If you wish to keep your keybinds and graphical settings, go to Anomaly\appdata and backup user.ltx.

hi guys getting some shaders failed to compile

what can i do about that

im also having trouble with about half my reshades being black so i assume i installed somthing wrong

[weak wedge]

where can i find and download the a.d.e.g.a reshade

[rapid magnet]

Adega doesn't have a reshade.. Hippo (the author) uses Atmos Reshade that comes with Atmospherics that's included in GAMMA

[weak wedge]

i clicked on hippos mediafire link and it shows me 3 reshades or 3 A.D.E.G.A mods

[rapid magnet]

If you're talking about the ADEGA link, you'll need to download Part 1 and Part 2

[weak wedge]

A.D.E.G.A is a combination of multiple other mods that make the game look better right

[rapid magnet]

More or less.. It's only textures

It has it's own grass and trees.. And textures.. There's nothing else to it.. It's just a massive texture pack

[analog yacht]

how to fix issue with reshade, when screen is black but only hud is visible?

[elder ingot]

try deleting shader cache manually by going to the Anomaly/appdata/ folder and deleting the shaders_cache folder. Then try running the game and see if it worked

[elder ingot]

it’s just a pack of lots of different texture packs combines to give the game detailed textures and a great look. Here are the main ones:

• Zone Reality Remade
• 4K Vehicle Textures Redux
• Aydin’s Grass Tweaks (Summer Grass)
• Golden Autumn Retexture (Green/Multicoloured Trees)
• Re:Pack Doors, Barbed Wire and Glass & Windows

[elder ingot]

Just download the latest release’s .zip file, open it in 7Zip and drag the files inside into your Anomaly folder

Then replace the existing files when it asks

I think by ticking delete reshade in the gamma launcher, but it will may or may not break ur game when updating. dno about other ways

[misty echo]

if you want to remove reshade just delete these 2 files

its in your bin folder

[blazing helm]

even renaming them works

if you plan not to use reshade at all then completely removing it is the best bet vs just disabling the reshade w a key

even when turned off it still has cpu overhead

how does one update shaders? The game tells me to do it at the top left on the menu screen

Newer reshade updates have bugs with anomaly

can cause crashes when changing graphics settings etc

@blazing helm arky what is ur population settings in ZCP?

[blazing helm]

Default

Haven’t touched it

[copper wave]

Oh, do you think u can send me a photo of the squad size settings? I believe I tinkered with it in the beginning of my game smh

[blazing helm]

couldnt you just hit default

its an mcm menu right

[copper wave]

I think its in ZCP cant remember, sometimes im not sure if default resets it to gamma defaults or the mod defaults

I believe when I defaulted one section it wasnt the same as gamma starts with

sorry im not home rn so I cant check

[sour chasm]

As a reformed chronic ZCP-adjuster, I can say it's best to leave everything in there default

Engine is just too unpredictable with any amount of extra ai it has to account for

I did have a playthrough with what I deemed to be the perfect amount of extra zombies until later in the game they started to overrun settlements and murder everyone because NPC's just can't hit headshots on a point blank target swinging on them lmao

[slender pelican]

Hey folks, any recommendation on some not very heavy presets to make the game a little less janky-looking?

[raw mountain]

Just take an Emergent Zone LUT + Fake HDR

About the fake HDR you can play with the itensity. Makes the colors fell more alive and it's not too agressive

[slender pelican]

Might be restarted, but can't find that Emergent Zone

[raw mountain]

[slender pelican]

Oh shit, mods posting, right

restarted it is

[copper wave]

Ah, right, I think I have to put everything back to standard then haha. Just gotta find the default settings somewhere

Thanks

[sour chasm]

You prob have to start a new game if you played too long with higher settings. It will take like a week or two in game to clear the extra spawns otherwise.

[copper wave]

Im too far in for that :l ill just wait I think, im just a little unsure if I touched any other settings, zombies for example are they enabled on your game? I also tinkered with stealth settings ;_;

Might justs do a fresh install later, I noticed if you default the settings it still wont be gammas defaults for ZCP and stealth at least

Oh and loot as well, I touched that haha

long time ago

but maybe its fine @sour chasm

[sour chasm]

It could be fine

Until it's not

That's just the nature of this engine

You can just run the launcher itll reset the gamma list and config’s

[copper wave]

Ohh, and my save will work?

[blazing helm]

Probably need to back your saves up

Did you seperate your base gamma and modded versions

Because if you did then when updating it won’t touch your custom list only the base gamma

But it will reset user ltx and mcm settings

Or if you want

I’m getting up shortly to test those c con winter trees I’ll give you the defaults

[copper wave]

I just made a new profile in mod manager and kept the original profile but I assume I had to do something else?

if you are testing ccon if you could send me a screenshot of the stealth settings id be happy, I think thats whats most broken right now, think I found zcp defaults

Tbh I dont have that many extra mods I can just reinstall them its not a huge deal

how to update reshade

[safe cairn]

working with LUTs

This one is for rainy weathers in particular

clear weather looks like this haha

[copper wave]

Do the ingame weather settings work? Or do I just tick no clear weather in the mod installation options

[swift robin]

Some do, some don't
For example fog you can only disable by editing files
Without SSS at least, with not sure but probably same

[copper wave]

Ive got atmospherics and weather expansion, and sss

Its a bit confusing since in the weather expansion theres an option in the installer to disable clear and partly weather

But its already in the game

No, iam playing for this playthrough without Reshade and massive upturned SSS Settings. Just for testing. I didnt heard anything about a new version of this shader. Do you have a link for me?

[unique tide]

Hello, I’m experiencing issues with anti-aliasing (AA) in my game. I’m using shaders, but they only offer FXAA and one other Directly Localized AA option, which seems to create a depth-of-field/blur effect rather than smoothing edges(and tanks my fps too much). The in-game AA/SMAA settings don’t seem to improve this, and adjusting settings in the Nvidia panel either has no effect in my setup. I’ve noticed videos where people achieve much clearer visuals, especially with grass and trees. I'm using the latest GAMMA update with the Badlands reshade but it leaves these areas looking jagged and pixelated(you can see in the screenshot). Could you help me figure out what I’m missing?

[ashen elm]

Sorry not at PC atm, but its whatever first github result searching vort shader got me

[ancient walrus]

do you need to install reshade on newer versions of gamma to actually use the presets? i was under the assumption it was preinstalled, but i wasn't getting any reshade menus, after installing reshade manually it gave me some errors but does indeed work, albeit with some issues including crashing

#╭📖faq message nevermind, got my answer here

[ancient walrus]

alright well now it's just crashing as soon as i launch from anomaly, guess no reshade from me

[desert egret]

did you go on the gamma installer and uncheck all the boxes and press install?

[ancient walrus]

i might not have at some point even though i definitely did at another point, bascially did 3 clean reinstalls and it's fine now, i guess somewhere along the way i missed something

[empty tundra]

do i have to download FXAA to have it in my reshades? or should it be there by default?

pretty sure it's should be there by default

unless you downloaded a reshade preset that excluded it and only dowloaded the necessary ones

answer muh question

[frigid hatch]

It seems to me that the jagged look of the grass is due to the 'jagged' nature of the grass textures themselves- sharply lit blades of grass shine between other blades of grass, creating a lot variegation, even though the edges of the grass are slightly blurry.

Perhaps try a different grass mod.

If that doesn't work (or you don't want to use a different grass), try using a face proximity based AO shader, and set the radius so that the lower parts of the grass get toned down and not shine through so brightly.

The only AA shader I recommend is CMAA or CMAA2.

Also, the order of active shaders in the list has an effect on how the result looks. Make sure they are ordered correctly.

[lilac vapor]

hmm i try that catbites.. i delete the grass mod

and @pseudo spoke no effects active

[frigid hatch]

I personally turn down grass as much as possible

[pseudo spoke]

are you sure its not just lack of anti aliasing

• low resolution

[lilac vapor]

yea kinda could be... like its not the grass.. its all over the screen

like above all the other object details

like something infront of it

like if you would add a blurring effect or something

[pseudo spoke]

maybe its DoF

you mean those TV-like vertical lines?

no like its pixels in front of all the details .... like no sharp long distance view...

when im close close to a objective... those pixels disappear

between the tree and the gras where the shadow is you can see what i mean...

here its beautifull sharp ... i dont know the issue^^

this is on long distance...

[frigid hatch]

does your GPU render at a lower res and then upscale?

rESHADE HOME BUTTON DOES NOT WROK

The Home button is not running reshade on stalker gamma

[unique tide]

Thank you good sir! This is exactly what I needed. Finally someone who knows their stuff!
TFAA worked like a charm, definitely the "fix" I was looking for. It's much better than before and the overall shimmering of grass is removed. I went with the Motionvectors version. I found that I get most fps with it set to quarter-res and overall I don't see too much of a difference. My PC is enough to handle TFAA and overall the game runs very well while having clear graphics. Sure, some upclose clumped up grass still looks bad at times but it's very minimal and for an old game using reshade to fix it's AA problems, it's quite alright. I did experiance a weird stuttering effect and locking my FPS to 72 (half of my refresh rate) was able to fix this. Not sure why it works like that but since my game goes at around 60-75 fps anyway this is a nice threshold to set for it. I did also found this FocalDOF option which doesn't lower my fps and just adds this blur to long distance trees/grass which helps to compliment the TFAA since that option doesn't really cover that far. In a way some "image" quality is lost but at that distance I'm ok with it.
Additionally, I did lower the amount of grass I have, sure it's pretty when it's a lot of it but at lower amounts I find that my fps is more consistent yet I still have a decent amount of grass so the overall scene isn't too bad looking. Most people seem to lower their grass too, which is understandable.
Also about the colors, for now I've end-up using the default coloring and I don't use the LUT, I kinda wanted to go with maybe a bit darker-movie-like feel but I can't seem to configure it to "feel" that way.
I'm guess most people don't even run reshade, let alone to know that there are hidden options in this modlist. I can understand they are heavy options and why they were hidden but they are manageable with decent pc. It would have been less confusing to have them opened from the start. Overall, I'm happy with the results.

[unique tide]

I'm not sure what an "AO shader" is. I also am not sure I saw any CMAA option. I have CMAA2 in my reshade but this option doesn't seem to do much, similar to SMAA. There are small differences but overall they are just as useless as the games intenral AA and SMAA settings (at least for me).
I found that TFAA was the way to go, even though it's a more demanding option, with the right setup (as I explained above) I am able to have good fps while the quality is pretty much perfect(as much as that's possible). Thanks for the help 🙂

As for the grass mod, I like it and the same AA problems are visible with the Aydin grass. Pretty much every game needs some decent AA option to fix it's grass, so the actual type grass doesn't really matter. This really isn't a STALKER only problem. 😄

[swift robin]

dunno if I should post this here or not, but here it goes:
I'm on a 3050 laptop with a 11th gen intel 11300 H, I already get above 50 fps on most maps, can I run ANY sort of textures modpack that doesn't sacrifice performance ?
like, is ATO 2k viable for me ? ( I already use 98% of my GPU in vanilla gamma)

[swift robin]

I have zone reality and ato 2k

I also have adega

Should i be running all these at the same time or does one make the other useless

[rapid magnet]

They do make each other useless.. Whatever is lowest in MO2 will overwrite the rest..

ATO, Zone Reality, and ADEGA covers brick walls for example.. The one that's the lowest in MO2 will take priority so you won't see any of the other textures.. Making it take space for no reason.. Only run 1 texture pack

[last junco]

capa

[frigid hatch]

AO is ambient occlusion. It's basically supposed to give the scene a bit more depth/clarity by shading tighter spaces.
So did TFAA solve your problem?

perhaps a screenshot

[unique tide]

I'd say yes, obviously AA is never perfect but with my current setup edges and grass shimmering is eliminated. I made sure to setup TFAA since that's the main one that's fixing the AA and I kept most other reshade options to a minimum. At the end it turned out that Vsync was also something I had to take a look at. The game's Vsync for me was dropping 4-5 fps, which I do know is possible but most games don't get affected that much. I guess because of mods the game is strained or something. To fix this I used the "Fast" option in Nvidia, which according to the description doesn't actually enable Vsync but instead it somehow discards the excessive frames so the artefacts are somehow removed without actually losing performance. Very cool feature and it works pretty well as far as I can tell.
Anyway, this that our of the way I'm finally ready to play it.

[frigid hatch]

It's curious to me that AA solved this bc, judging by edges in the screenshot you posted, you didn't have almost any aliasing

[gaunt quest]

Hello. Would anybody be able to help me out. Trying to use DRME for TFAA but says failed to compile

[unique tide]

hmm, I just looked at the screenshots and they don't appear to be the best way to show it. In the screenshot I had FXAA and on top of that when it's a static image the edges get blurred so it looks fine to you but when it's during live gameplay and the grass is moving the shimmering is visible.
The real saver is TFAA. Without it the shimmering is very visible when the grass is moving during gameplay. FXAA blurs it too much and doesn't fix all the problems so when TFAA is on top of it fixes most of the problems that FXAA causes. You just have to be willing to take the fps hit with it. In my case the game would sometimes drop to 60fps but mostly it is able to keep 72fps otherwise.
At the end as I said before I've added this FocalDOF effect which blurs the really distant trees, which helps to clear any remaining edges with them. The only thing with the final setup is that mid-range grass still has slight edges but it's minimal and it doesn't catch you attention during gameplay because it doesn't cause any shimmering.
Now I'm curious how you have yours setup? Do you not use TFAA at all?
Here are two screenshots (First one is FXAA only, and the second is with all the effects I use). Honestly, the FXAA one looks better in the screenshot than the other especially for the up-close grass but in during gameplay it's not:

[dire hawk]

of course its a personal preference on visuals just tryna save you some performance haha

[ashen shadow]

Any reshade preset that applies a color palette similar to Tarkov?

[ashen shadow]

reshade pls

[frigid hatch]

Do I have to restart the game after every change to its settings?

[blazing helm]

i would after disabling the ssao

but not for every setting ever

like reshades etc dont matter, for grass and some others you can use the console command: vid_restart to refresh it

and that works

but sometimes i dont trust it so i just restart sometimes lol, like in game anti aliasing settings need a game restart to properly change

[unique tide]

hmm, why aren't you running at least FXAA? It's at the very least doing something. Are you sure that has CMAA2 has any effect? Like I said, I do recommend FocalDOF even if you don't have the power for TFAA. I mean DOF options help to mask the ugliness more than anything and they bring a more movie-like feel which is what I'm going for in my setup. I guess it will slightly harder to snipe with it but I haven't gotten that far yet. As for HDR one, I find that it's very personal preference how you want to tackle colors. It does feel more realistic with effects as these but it makes it harder for me to see things which can endup affecting my gameplay. Again, that's just me. hmm, I guess you don't really need a good AA option since you're not running much grass at your rig, so I understand why you would skip it. It's interesting to see what other people are doing with their game. I know that most have laptops and older pcs, but for me playing an older game like this is all about bringing the best of it and pushing it to the max for the best experience. 🙂

[weary zodiac]

Oh, I don't even remember what kind of reshade was there. Maybe it was COAR_RTX or some kind of is Unreal Zone

[frigid hatch]

I don't remember being really satisfied with FXAA in other games (I always thought it blurs edges too much), I don't care that much about aliasing, and prefer a sharper image -> therefore I don't care about DOF or any kind of persistent blurring effect (unless its some kinda gameplay element). Perhaps FXAA algorithms have got better since then, idk. IMO CMAA2 is good enough for how little it blurs and takes resources.

[frigid hatch]

To explain the Perfect Perspective shader: the 'normal' perspective method stretches out the periphery of the image to preserve the straightness of edges, as a result, the scale of objects is non-uniform and, importantly, the centre is 'zoomed out' (very noticable with FOV >90). The Perfect Perspective shader reverses this. I may look strange at first but as you move and look around ingame, you will have a better sense of depth/volume.

This is not inconsistent with reality because space is curved (astrophysicists say so too), and you can notice it IRL if you concentrate (but not look directly) at long straight objects/ lines in your peripheral vision.
Unfortunately, this is only a post-processing effect, so you don't get the appropriate level of resolution in the centre of the image.

how would one do color grading? I've been messing around with reshades but that and atmospherics alone haven't been enough for me. I may be asking in the wrong channel but it seemed appropriate .

[elder ingot]

Depends
Normally it’s the C: drive, but if you have more than one hard drive then it’ll be whatever letter is assigned to that one

[elder ingot]

Try using r__color_grading in the game console and play around with those settings

[reef axle]

Is it weird to stack like 4 AA on top of each other than sharpen it?
It feels weird to do but i like the visual

[fresh prawn]

I want to reinstall reshade with less effects but once I uninstall it and then redownload fewer effects it still downloads like 187 effects like I previously had

[fresh prawn]

nope I use SMAA and FXAA, looks good

[reef axle]

So i'm not crazy

[fresh prawn]

nope hahahaha

[reef axle]

Feels unintuituve tho

[fresh prawn]

altough I dont sharpen it though

i got a 32 inch 1080p monitor

and the pixel density isnt the greatest for me

[reef axle]

27 inch 2k monitor, with no sharpen it's kinda blurry

[fresh prawn]

im contemplating to upgrade to 1440p but rn

my gpu isnt the greatest

I want to upgrade the gpu first and then make the jump

currently on a rx 5600 xt

6gb vram

[reef axle]

Went from a 1080 60hz to a 2k 165hz and it felt like my eyes were opened for the first time

Couldn't believe how smooth it is

[fresh prawn]

for me it was the jump from 60 to 144hz, cant go back now hahahaha

[reef axle]

Same it's insane

Especially for shooters

[reef axle]

Damn shoutout to Norfair for real

[sour chasm]

Not weird just inefficient

Better to find just 1 or 2 AA that work well enough on their own so you don't eat up resources running multiple

like FXAA + TFAA or SMAA + TFAA

Or just TFAA on its own

But if you're just after pretty screenshots it doesn't matter, we can't see your FPS lol

[reef axle]

Oh fps wise i can turn all of them on no problem
The only thing that manages to tank my fps is those damn npcs

And that one time i put grass render distance to 250

But yeah fxaa + smaa feels right for me
With that preset at least

[sour chasm]

If FPS isn't an issue then you should be using TFAA + DRME first and foremost

then use FXAA or SMAA in conjunction tweaked to a lower setting to clean up some finer details

imo, DRME + TFAA with SMAA looks much better

FXAA is less accurate and it can make things at medium distances look a bit blurry/blobby

[blazing helm]

Real this is what I’ve ended up with for reshade solution although unless I’m playing with vanilla trees or aydins winter/gotz trees I just use nvcp now for aa

[reef axle]

That's exactly what i'm using
Only instead of SMAA it's MartysMods_SMAA, supposed to be slightly better

[blazing helm]

yah im using immerse smaa too

i just say smaa i forgot it wasnt the default

6Gb Vram is the main limiting factor on that card, try to get a 16Gb one, as that can scale all the way up to 4k, Getting a 2nd hand 7800xt or 4070 (less vram but faster) would be a good move, they max out 1440p and can do med/low 4k.

its not worth upgrading to something less than a 4070/7800 from a 5600 as the jump just isnt worth it, unless you wait for 5060/8600xt to come round.

[tacit rivet]

How about 7700xt?

[terse island]

Fine, +60% faster at 1080p aand 1440p

if your not going to ever touch 4k, its the best price per frame GPU at 1440p at max settings with good fps (~100).

I finally found someone with a good answer, so TFAA is findable in the GAMMA, here is how (point number 4)

it's unusable without DRME though, it gets extremely blurry whem moving. DRME fixes it, but at a very high costs

I actually go under 60FPS on my 3080 in 3440*1440, while it was stable above 65 before. DRME full goes to 45, DRME quarter is about 55 and still fixes TFAA mostly

[shrewd surge]

Hey guys, I want to mod GAMMA to make it look better. I played 50h on full vanilla, but I recently got a 3080 and want to upgrade my graphics. Any recommendations? I am not too educated on modding, so I don't really know what to do and where to start

I saw some mod compilations on yt, but idk if they are outdated

[zealous fiber]

Does anyone know anything about aliasing? Tried TFAA(hell blur in motion), FXAA(too weak, flickering corners in dynamics)

[zealous fiber]

How do you adjust DRME to remove the blur?

Are there any guides in internet?

[jade river]

as soon as you enable DRME, you should see an immediate improvement when moving around, it should not be blurry anymore

[zealous fiber]

After turning on DRME it got a little better, but still unplayable

Hopefully, an expert will come along and explain the DRME/TFAA setting

Tried immerse anti-aliasing (SMAA). It removes big aliasing well, but otherwise it is too weak (I don't know how to adjust it).

[jade river]

oh yeah it's still shimmering for you... weird :( In the end I opted out of TFAA, being under 60 is too much to ask :p

[safe kelp]

drme should be above tfaa

[zealous fiber]

Oh, now everything works fine, thanks.

[safe kelp]

👍

[zealous fiber]

Please, can you tell me how to enhance the AA effect? ​​The corners are still visible in some places.

[safe kelp]

you could go into ur drme and put the accuracy to full instead of half

expect lower frames

[safe kelp]

and remember the game is near impossible to have perfect AA

i use to hate the leaves so much and tried fixing it, only way to fix is go trees that arent all pixel like lol

against normal procedure but u could also try to layer more aa on top

nobody will really recommend it but if ur pc is strong and its bugging u that much, try it

[zealous fiber]

i have maximum

DRME is not AA, it does not improve antialiasing in any way

[zealous fiber]

Should the additional AA be above the DRME?

immerse SMAA together with TFAA work well

[safe kelp]

yeah drme doesnt improve antialiasing but it will improve the accuracy of tfaa it self potentially fixing problems, no need to try to lecture when im just helping 🙂

Personally I'm using the WeatherEX+ GI.ini from the Weather Expansion for Atmospherics mod. Played around a little with some of the settings, like enabling Ambient Occlusion (on top of the one already cranked up from the Screen Space Shaders mod)

Though truth be told, at this point, it only makes it a tiny bit brighter and increases the darkness of ambient occlusion shadows. SSS is doing the heavy lifting, along with the texture packs.
