╟🎑reshades

[steady marsh]

1200 dollar monitor

[ruby leaf]

still not good enough for stalker lol

[steady marsh]

issue persists on my other 4k monitor as well

albeit it is slightly better

its 27 inches tho instead of 32, so maybe its pixels stretching? i have no idea honestly

[void socket]

did we all have ultrawides?

[ruby leaf]

I do, 34 inch 3440x1410

[steady marsh]

32inch 4k (not ultrawide)

[void socket]

ok so 4k is the common link

[ruby leaf]

Mine is like 3,5K

[steady marsh]

close enough

[ruby leaf]

or even less

It's temptig to just live with that, as I have spend 3x more time on configuring this crap, than actuallly playing it

[steady marsh]

unfortunately i am no good with reshade so i cant just go and create a fix for us, if there even is one via reshade to hide/block those things

[void socket]

changing ingame res doesnt fix it and i dont have another monitor to test so idk

[steady marsh]

#🔨base-gamma-support message asked for help in the gamma support channel so we will see

[thorny crystal]

to the guys that have the grain issue, i had the same problems

I think i played around with shadow distance in sss or advanced video settings, and got rid of it

[steady marsh]

cheers, will try that

[thorny crystal]

it annoyed me for so long too

[steady marsh]

any chance you could post what your sss shadow distance and shadow advanced settings are when you play next?

[thorny crystal]

I also use latest atmospherics and sss, as well as the weatherex+ reshade that came with atmoshperics weather expansion

[steady marsh]

i do have sss 22 that i manually downloaded, tho idk what version of atmospherics i have

[thorny crystal]

in nvidia control FXAA- on Antialiasing transparency 2x supersample

[thorny crystal]

if you just go mo2 and click the reinstall button you can select the latest versions

I also started playing without avx (I have 4080 tho)

let me know if that fixes it for u

[steady marsh]

strange, ive always gotten better performance with the avx playing with a 4080 too

ill try non avx dx11 tho (i have no idea what the difference is)

[void socket]

avx and no avx has like 0 difference to me. i think its totally up to how strong your cpu/gpu are

[thorny crystal]

avx is cpu heavy and non avx is gpu heavy, but the grain was fixed prior to this his change anyway

[steady marsh]

do i need to set the actual antialiasing setting to anything? or just leave it like i have it here

oh no this is above my paygrade

[thorny crystal]

1,2,3, 9,

[steady marsh]

i chose the correct one in that top right drop down menu im guessing?

[thorny crystal]

i think so

maybe manually download it actually

to make sure

[void socket]

where from?

[steady marsh]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/hippos-shaders-and-atmospherics

[void socket]

thats the same version as in gamma isnt it? 2.67

[steady marsh]

it is but im doing it anyways

[void socket]

I tried the SSS settings and it made them alot less noticable! (Also lost like 5fps ) but looks like its an SSS issue, just gotta fuck with the settings until they are gone right?

[steady marsh]

where is this atmospherics weather expansion mod? i cant find it online, just the base atmospherics

[orchid pebble]

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1280267401513930772

[ruby leaf]

Yeap, mine are also almost gone

[void socket]

lets go! if you find settings that fix them completely could you ping me?

[ruby leaf]

I just copied the settings @thorny crystal posted, it made them less visible, at least in the location I'm at. Will double check when it gets darker (in-game)

[steady marsh]

thank you

where do i delete my shader cache at?

[thorny crystal]

I couldn't fully get rid of them at first

[thorny crystal]

when you launch game before u play there is a little check meny

[steady marsh]

oh launch via the actual launcher instead of choosing the .exe you want?

via mo2

[thorny crystal]

i launch the game via MO2

then the pop up comes up

[steady marsh]

yeah i gotcha

[thorny crystal]

and there is a check box there

[steady marsh]

word i got it, i usually launch via mo2 directly into the avx version using the drop down menu instead of the launcher if that makes sense

[thorny crystal]

let me know how it goes

can send more settings if needed to copy

[steady marsh]

testing it out now

messing around with that weathers+ reshade that came with the weather atmospherics

[steady marsh]

i figured out how to do it properly, as the discord has a command for it that literally says NOT to delete it via the launcher lmao

!shader

[thorny crystal]

ok i just did it that way lol

[void depot]

@steady marsh 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.

[steady marsh]

yeah no worries, was just letting you know!

[thorny crystal]

I wonder can shaders be cleared any time

[steady marsh]

not sure, i was only doing it because the install guide for that extra atmospherics weathers mod said to delete it after downloading it

oh fuck

that got rid of every single reshade, including the one i tinkered with for hours

im a big dummy

very sadge

!reshade

[void depot]

@steady marsh To enable Reshade Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[thorny crystal]

Honestly just use one of the reshade presets

the weatherex one is good

[steady marsh]

its way too orangey for my liking

all of the other reshades are still in my anomaly/bin folder, however they are not appearing when I press home in game for reshades. any ideas?

[thorny crystal]

oh wait

i fixed the oranginess too

you can go to visual settings

and click on basic light settings

also somehwere in SSS there is an exposure setting lower that

[steel marlin]

For some reason, my gpu is now sitting at 35% max usage when running the game. Any suggested help?

[steady marsh]

bruh i cant figure out how to get my old reshades back to show up on the menu when pressing home, I only have the weatherex and weatherex+ now despite all the others still being in the anomaly/bin folder

[thorny crystal]

OKAY

wait

i know the fix

for some reason the weather ex are in some weird location

so where you have the 2 reshades at the top there is a little folder with 2 dots like ..

just click thos

until you can direct it into the anomaly bin> reshades folder

[steady marsh]

life saver

anyone know how to get the base cfg back? dont like how the atmos ones look

example of what i mean

idk what the base game cfg is to input into the console

[thorny crystal]

might be just load_cfg

[steady marsh]

tried that, negatory

[thorny crystal]

not sure then

let me know if you find out

[ionic thorn]

Shadows are dark AF, cant see anything at all in em

how do i fix this?

it's only evening ingame

[rapid magnet]

Mess around with lumscales and see if that helps

Open console and type in lumscale to view the full command

Will prob be hemi or amb that will help for you

[ionic thorn]

I typed it in and it wont show up :(

[rapid magnet]

Should be 'r__sun_lumscale_amb'

Or something close to that

[ionic thorn]

OH

in the actual console not the debug thing whoops

[rapid magnet]

Ye ye lol

Try all of them but I'm pretty sure either amb or hemi will do it

If that still doesn't work then a reshade effect is causing some problems

[ionic thorn]

it looks okay now

I dont have any reshades but it just looks wayyyy too dark by default

[signal breach]

how can i get a look like this for my game

[steady marsh]

what the shit happened to my game, it did not look like this when I saved and quit, loaded back a few hours later and this is what I load into

[thorny crystal]

This shit kept happening to me before, but instead everything was bright and washed out

[steady marsh]

i changed the weather and that fixed it, cloudy 2 is the weather that looks like this, every other weather looks fine

[gilded condor]

which one is it because i don't have one called that. only got all the atmos' and then some weirdly named long ones.

[viral magnet]

sorry to be so late but this was a very useful conversation for me to read on when searching for TFAA. Do you use anything different these days, and do you think there's any way for it to be pushed further visually at the cost of performance and/or blurriness?

Specifically in terms of anti aliasing and anti shimmering/pixelation/sparkling etc.

[viral magnet]

And do you perhaps know if any of the settings affect how much ghosting there is when things are in motion? It's the best visuals/performance combo, but when I look around, the trees and characters mainly produce too much ghosting

[signal coyote]

good morning... after the update my game has very much blurness and i cant fix throw the game settings ... i even turn off the reshades ... does any one has the same problem ? and how to fix it??

[past shuttle]

Nah, i have tried Nvidia AA with the control panel, but it gives me nearly the same fps cut like vort and doesnt look that good. So i did a "fallback" and use vort all the time. One of the greatest things with vort is, if you dont need it or want to try something out, you just deactivate reshade/vort with one button. With Nvidia Panel its a little bit different. When Ascii implements AA in the next release of SSS it could be a gamechanger but for now iam really happy with vort and the outcoming of it. All in all new SSS/Atmos looks great already but i had to deactivate forced volumetric lightning, because it takes alot of fps on my side. 20-30 fps depending on the scenery/location.I just use my small Reshade with vort and sharpening for the shimmering of trees. The rest of it looks already really good.

do i just enable everything when installing sss?

[rapid magnet]

SSS comes with GAMMA.. No need to install.. But also, no.. Not at my PC but there are a few that you shouldn't enable or you're going to get Shader Compilation errors

[fresh trail]

hi, tell me where can I download the Coar RTX reshade?

[rapid magnet]

Both links are dead because the reshade is outdated and old

Doesn't exist anymore

[elder ingot]

Turn down ur gloss percentage in SSS Settings in MCM

It’s in the Wetness section

[fresh trail]

does not exist

check pls

[rapid magnet]

I told you it doesn't.. The links are dead.. The ReShade preset has been abandoned by the owner

[woven tulip]

hello people, how to install reshade back again ?

[orchid pebble]

#╭📖faq message

[woven tulip]

thanks mate

[winged otter]

my game looks like hell, idk why. I just added reshades so i cant try to fix, anyone have suggestions on what i should do?

I think everything is too bright

[warped zodiac]

Can you open your reshader menu and mess with your settings? (3rd party menu in game)

Ultimately what I did to make my game darker and less eyesore.

[proud jetty]

@winged otter try r2_sun_lumscale in console

lower = darker

[winged otter]

i think lumscale helped a bit, i still see clouds/white surfaces as super bright

[proud jetty]

i think it's just the weather

[winged otter]

the chem anoms seems too bright also, is that controlled by ambient? if i turn basic brightness all the way down i can see the gas anom the way i expect but the rest of the game looks too dark

[proud jetty]

mcm > sss setting > shadow & light. try to lower volumetric intensity.

[winged otter]

bruh i swear i messed with it earlier. I just set that to 0 and the game looks way better

ty btw

[proud jetty]

np

[fading pond]

how can i tone this down? especially how do i turn down light on surfaces. walls brighter than the fire lol

[languid ocean]

Hey all, I have a really dumb nooby question so apologies in advance. Only been playing GAMMA for a few hours, messed around with the reshade menu, but my game looks so bleak, I can't seem to find a decent reshade pack to make the grass look green and more vibrant. Is this just because I'm still close to the rookie area or because I need to remove something?

[orchid pebble]

you might want to look into changing the season: #🤖bot-commands message

[languid ocean]

Ah you legend! Thanks, I'll take a look now!

[languid ocean]

Damn man thanks alot, it looks exactly how I want it to look now! Thanks dude!

[oak wadi]

are there any new reshade presets besides that already in 0.9.3? the pin google sheet seems outdated

[bleak zealot]

after enabling the reshade the game now looks pixelated, any ideas on how to solve it? i've just installed it everything is default

[elder ingot]

Try turning down bloom in SSS Settings

[elder ingot]

That’s not pixelation; thats film grain

Check the effects in ReShade

[warped zodiac]

wetness didn't change anything, how can I make tree branches, grass, and bushes not look paper thin or 2d

[steady marsh]

where are you seeing vort in the reshade menu? I dont see it on mine anywhere

[elder ingot]

That’s just how the textures are

It’s just lots of 2d foliage

If you’re worried about the leaves shimmering then you could try anti aliasing or DSR

[rocky nova]

Anyone know why when I download cappa reshade and put it in my reshade folder it doesn’t come up in game

[young coyote]

Did you find a solution to this? I cannot get cfg_load atmosr to work either. I also cant open the shader menu

[thorny crystal]

I reinstalled atmospherics and I Sss22 as well as added atmospherics weather expansion. Once I cleared the shaders I was able to load a Cfg but I can’t remember if I loaded atmosr or weatherx

I use weather ex reshape now

You can see my screenshots above and in screenshots tab

[young coyote]

To reinstall, go to mod organizer, right click atmospherics and click reinstall?

[thorny crystal]

Yeah I did that for sss22 and I think for atmospherics i downloaded it again

You can check in mo2 if it’s got the new versions

[young coyote]

Oh ok when I hit reinstall it looks like it only installed sky textures.

[young coyote]

These pics only or are there more?

[thorny crystal]

You need to install the required files

Both of them

I picked the optional weather cycle too

They’re my sss settings

[young coyote]

oof i wish there was a guide for this man

I found one but it seems outdated

idk what im doing

Im on a fresh instal my SSS looks like this

[young coyote]

I'm just gonna wing it

[thorny crystal]

I mean you just click reinstall and select the required stuff

Pretty sure it guides you through it

[young coyote]

Same. It looks like nothing has installed correctly on my end. I am trying to reinstall manually following what I can find here but it's not going well. Getting a "Shader Compilation Failed" error now. Pretty frustrating

[young coyote]

Could anyone post steps on how to get enhanced shaders, SSS, and atmospherics working from a fresh install? And tag me please. I and a few others in the base game support chat can't get it to work. @wide jetty

[blazing helm]

Atmosr isn’t a thing anymore most reshade presets from a while back are out of date

a lot of them double up on effects that are now present in game

[past shuttle]

You have to install it. Vort could be found on Github.

https://github.com/vortigern11/vort_Shaders

[acoustic lagoon]

any way of making the game stop looking so grayish

turned off all shaders anf it still looks gray

[thorny crystal]

FFS I somehow got the grain shit again

!grain

[steady marsh]

i love that you tried a command to see if it existed for that 😂

[thorny crystal]

I only get it when I'm in a darker area (indoors) and there is light rays pouring in, so must be something to do with sun, or shadows

it's not bad like before, but it gives me ptsd

I think I will reset my graphics to default when I'm finished this playthrough and try to figure out the whole grain issue, and see if I can make a guide, cus it honestly ruins the game and so many people seem to have this issue

[steady marsh]

i really only get it on far away terrain/objects now with the changes i made the other day when someone posted their settings

i do my best to ignore it but i can def still see it

[pale wedge]

For grain at night try this: SSS settings -> Shadows & Light -> Volumetric Intensity -> 0,5 (or some other low number). For me higher volumetric intensity looks worse at nights

[proud jetty]

@bnz i can't get rid of it either.... i tried every setting at this point... i just think we need to wait for an SSS update. Anyone tried without reshade ? i'm not talking about turning on and off the effects but complete removing reshade.

Aslo, someone said it could be a display thing. I tested it on an IPS screen and qd oled same thing

[thorny crystal]

I have volumetric intensity at 0.1

and turned of force volumetric

it's required by atmoshperics btw,

so try that

[proud jetty]

force volumetric from where ?

[thorny crystal]

IN shadows and lights

set the slider to 0.1 as well

in sss in mcm

[proud jetty]

thx i found it, it does help. I'm sure i messed around with that setting before though

[thorny crystal]

nice

[jovial jetty]

I ticked some AAs in the reshape menu but neither of them made a difference in visuals. Am I supposed to play around with the individual AA settings?

[proud jetty]

you will notice a difference with SMAA

[jovial jetty]

So just ticking the AA in the menu turns it on, yes? I don’t have to hit save or mess with the AA parameters?

[proud jetty]

use AA in reshade, turn it off in advance setting, it mess around with 3dss

[jovial jetty]

Thanks

[keen drum]

anyone knows wtf im supossed to do?

[raven brook]

fellas does anyone know what the button to access ENB settings is now?

[orchid pebble]

The default Reshade overlay button should be the Home key.

[acoustic lagoon]

any guess to what is causing shadows to become linear like this?

[junior ferry]

hey lads

trying to install reshade but i cant get my head around it

also where do i find the cappa reshade pack?

[junior ferry]

what do i do with this

lol

sorry i am nooooobie as fuck

Also anyone have any good rtgi values I can use?

[thorny crystal]

I'm about to start a second playthrough and I need some visual mod/upgrade suggestion? (I already have Adega textures, Zone reality, Atmo weather expansio, Ccon grass)

[pallid beacon]

Hm try putting everything on winter and up the quality of omni lights and such in sss settings to high, while also using reshade (If you have it) and tune the settings to be a bit more on the dark side. Of course use the atmos winter cfg as well. While also using the ccon grass over grow settings

[thorny crystal]

I was thinking of doing spring or summer because I just did autumn, so I want a little less "bleakness" haha

[pallid beacon]

Ah I see haha. I would say summer

Perfect amount of horror and beauty

[thorny crystal]

Yeah that's what I will try

Just want it looking beeeeautiful af

[pallid beacon]

Yea, just make sure you pray when it coems to night time. It gets rather spooky.

[crisp nacelle]

Can someone help me figure out reshade? I've followed the tutorial, copied bin folders, ticked Agressor in MO2, and yet everything is still grey. How do y'all get all those beautiful greens in your game?

[pallid beacon]

Did you reinstall Aydin's grass mod /lod and switch it to summer or spring?

[thorny crystal]

Does anyone know the recommended settings for grass when using CCon

[crisp nacelle]

This was the winner. Figured it out but thank you for the reply

give ATO 4, vehicle textures redux, and rotten life texture pack a try. I also have a summer playthrough going with ccon, i could post some screenshots for you?

[thorny crystal]

Yeah go for it!

[raven brook]

is there a way to completely turn off the reshades? home doesn't bring anything up for me

[steady marsh]

try page up

[raven brook]

i'll try

[steady marsh]

well i replied to the wrong person lmao

!screen

[void depot]

@steady marsh
1) While in game, press F12, go inside Anomaly\appdata\screenshots. If the screenshot isn't there, look in your GAMMA RC3 folder, inside a folder called overwrite
2) Press PRTSC (Print Screen on your keyboard) open Paint, CTLR + V to paste the pic, save it, send it
3) Windows key + Shift + S, which lets you choose what part of the screen you want to take, it will directly copy the pic for you so all you'll have to do is just CTRL + V in the chat.

[raven brook]

not, still brings nothing up. could this have something to dow ith the fact that im on debug mode?

[steady marsh]

oh page up wasnt supposed to bring anything up, it just disables any active reshades you have on

[raven brook]

ohhhhhhh

yeah i think im just gonna give it up lmfao i dont think my pc can handle the current version

stock anomaly here i come...

have you tried https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1089156086172499978

[steady marsh]

game on an ssd?

[raven brook]

yeah thats what i though ;; my ssd can only fit 238gb

suppose i COULD make the space

let's see, anomaly + gamma together are...

[steady marsh]

i was gonna say gamma isnt 238gb lol

[raven brook]

no but they ARE 128gb, unless i dont need to put the anomaly folder in there too which i just assumed i do

[steady marsh]

you do, they need to be on the same drive

[raven brook]

dang

nah im gonna make space >:( i want to play stalker gamna

[steady marsh]

thats the spirit

[thorny crystal]

I had to re install the full game, because I broke something, and without the mods I had I get even less fps. which is weird because they were textures, c con, and trees and stuff

Anyone got their NVIDIA contol panel settings pic ?

Other than adega textures I need some texture suggestions, Name your favorites!

go into mcm settings, sss settings , post processing, and turn down exposure, I have mine set to the lowest value

@thorny crystal sorry i got side tracked irl, this was the only picture I was able to get before that

no worries

I installed it but some of the stuff kinda looks too new or out of place imo

gonna re isntall with just bricks and concrete and see how that looks

[steady marsh]

what did you do to fuck your game up originally?

[thorny crystal]

I can't even remember I was getting fail scripts when launching

my gamma folder was like 400gb

I did a full fresh re instal with Ccons grass, vehicle redux, ato 4, and Rotten life textures

[steady marsh]

400gb?????

the fuck did you do lmfao

[thorny crystal]

I have no idea

literally

[steady marsh]

mines currently 148gb with those mods

you get that when you upgrade your pda I think

I have one more question, what can I do to increase my fps? I already did the "fps-optimisation" section but I want to know if there are any other settings besides those that are not mentioned there.

hmmmm im not sure, im new to this game myself, have you tried dx 11 vs dx 11 avx?

[vague moth]

I can try dx10

[thorny crystal]

welp my game is cooked again

im done for today

this is during a storm with lightning

[steady marsh]

is it like that the entire time?

or just for a split half second

[viral magnet]

Hi this isn't exactly a reshade thing but I'm desperate to find people who know about graphical stuff.
If anyone knows how to adjust the distance of SSS screen space shadows (for grass, specifically omni directional shadows like from a campfire), I would greatly appreciate help with this. I just want to extend the distance but none of the settings in the entire menu are affecting it besides simply disabling/enabling entirely.

Do you guys know if there is a way to change the headlamp? because i always found it kinda ugly...

[drowsy dune]

Hello, I cant even see that option ! am I doing something wrong ? I noticed that my game is quite dark and increasing the gamma just makes the game look so foggy.. I cant remember it being like this the last time I played though

[steady marsh]

are you playing on a different version of gamma other than 0.9.3

[drowsy dune]

ah no, I'm using 0.9.3

[steady marsh]

do you see sss settings at all, or are you just missing the post processing sertting under it

[drowsy dune]

no I dont see anything named SSS settings inside MCM settings

can you post a screenshot if possible ?

[steady marsh]

the mcm list should be in alphabetical order

[drowsy dune]

no this doesnt exist in my screen

holy wow your options looks so clean haha

Mine looks like this

I guess thats because you play in 4k and i play in 1080

[steady marsh]

right click on screen space shaders in your mo2, press reinstall, at the top drop down menu select screen space shaders 22, select the options you want, add it to the list of mods where the original screen space shaders is, uncheck the old one and check the new one to activate it

[drowsy dune]

hey thanks man, I'll get to it immediately !

[steady marsh]

no problem

it might only work on dx11 tho, which could be why you dont have it on your menu

that i have no clue of tho, im just speculating

[drowsy dune]

I'm playing in DX11-AVX

I mean Im choosing that option to run

[steady marsh]

yeah i gotcha

[drowsy dune]

when I played gamma back in 2023 I dont remember Stalker Anomaly splash art coming up at all, its so weird

and it takes a long time, like 1 minute I guess

ok not 1 minute, but around 30 seconds

is this the mod you are talking about ? 190 Screen Space Shaders 20 - Ascii1457

actually wait

dont do anything yet

so when I'm manually installing it, should I check the last option too ? MANUAL INSTALLATION ?

because now the game doesnt boot up 😄

[steady marsh]

screenshot the box and lemme see, the whole box that pops up

[drowsy dune]

shader compilation failed

[steady marsh]

hmm, scroll up

[steady marsh]

okay deselect 4 ice version, 10 wind optional, i think 96 cause idk what es is and it says its required, then delete your shader cache

!cache

[drowsy dune]

so manual installtion can remain unchecked ?

[wanton gull]

@steady marsh 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.

[steady marsh]

ahh okay keep 96 checked then

[drowsy dune]

cool

Thanks, relaunching again !

[steady marsh]

yours looks different tho, this is what mine looked like when i did it manually

i selected the required ones, both #2's, the 1st #3, and #9 when i manually installed sss 22

[drowsy dune]

but yours is 290 right

mine is a diferent mod I think

[steady marsh]

wait yeah

thats the wrong screenshot

thats my bad lmao

thats another mod

thats a manual atmospherics shaders weathers install i did

[drowsy dune]

OMG the game looks 100 times better now

thanks a lot man

[steady marsh]

okay just dont select wind optional and sss water ice version, delete shaders cache, and you should be good to boot the game up, you can leave everything else checked

word glad you got it

then you should have sss settings in your mcm

[drowsy dune]

you have no clue, I was so confused wondering what the fuck was happening

yea I do now

[steady marsh]

sweet

recommend turning down exposure

[drowsy dune]

the looked a lot uglier than I could imagine from 2023, but was convincing myself that my memory is fked up haha

yea I'll reduce the exposyre !

[steady marsh]

and volumetric intensity under shadows and light

[drowsy dune]

sure thing !

thanks again !

[steady marsh]

yeah no problem, glad you got it sorted out

Bro my anti aliasing sucks even with fxaa trees have really jagged edges

[steady marsh]

Is this nvidia drivers or amd I have amd

[steady marsh]

ohhhh its nvidia

nvidia control panel, thought it might help you out but nvm cause you dont have nvidia

[winged otter]

if the lights from headlamps seem like they have a billion lumens, what setting controls that?

imo the lights in game see too bright... and my pda looks washed out

ok, i think when i take a screenshot, on the same monitor the image doesnt look that bad, but in game it looks super bright/washed out

[dull yoke]

i want my game to look better with reshades but i dont what to do

[sinful bronze]

Why the grass looks so bad and fake with reshade?

[tardy wharf]

Yo I dunno if you fixed your weird grainy artifact in the darkness. I can get rid of it by changing in the advanced graphics settings, "Sun Rays Mode" to Screen Space and not Volumetric.
But I prefer Volumetric for day time because it makes the light rays pop...

I've been following your posts closely cuz this drives me crazy too. Hoping to find what is really the root cause

[orchid pebble]

I'd like to know if the above solution works. For research purposes, i don't actually have the problem.

[lyric jetty]

Hey, am trying to use reshade to fix jagged edges, no luck so far, anyone could help please? I have an AMD GPU, the control panel doesn't seem to work with anomaly, have selected the correcte EXE, fps metrics show up and all

Oh and could someone recommend a vivid shade preset?

[steady marsh]

Thanks ill try it, unfortunately i wont be able to play until like the 30th since i am out of town

[static bridge]

My trees and some other enviroments look very staticy and look like they are vibrating, Here is a clip. Anyway i can fix this?

I just had a go at that Vort shader TAA. It's very good

Not perfect and some blur but by far better than the other options. I've left SMAA on as well, seems to help a tad.

There's other interesting things in that pack too.

How?

[halcyon junco]

just uncheck it in mo2?

You might need to change es

also if your main issue is bloom just reinstall sss without it

also if you have anything like project inverno or any other shader add on that has a sss patch it will not work just removing it

[snow knoll]

You can try mine. Hope your PC is beefy.

Turn off deband if clouds are not as detailed as you like, but you will get a bit more banding in the sky.

[elder ingot]

Try the bloom threshold

[knotty dome]

That a command as well?

[steady marsh]

No it’s in the SSS settings

Turn up the threshold to it makes it where a light needs to be brighter in order to bloom

Aka more lights won’t have bloom since they don’t meet the threshold

You can try turning down the vibrance too

[elder ingot]

No it’s in MCM
Open it up and go to SSS settings
Then go to Post Process and turn up the bloom threshold

the light is still super bright

guys, I've been playing 2 weeks now and I'm running with a Ryzen 5700x + Rx6700xt, default mod settings, why cant i get my 99% FPS higher than 30FPS??? not smooth gameplay at all and pretty laggy

[modern ermine]

My overall lighting feels pretty bright, is there a certain setting I'm missing to tone it down? Not sure if it's something in the base game, SSS, or reshade.

[pallid beacon]

Check fps optimization to see if any of that helps. But Im the same boat at first, I just guessed it was the game engine.

[modern ermine]

Ok I found it, it's SSS settings > shadows and light > volumetric intensity, I set it to 0 cus it's really just too much -- for anyone else that wants to know

[pallid beacon]

Huh weird, I have everything set to default and such. Im curious what cfg do you have loaded up?

[modern ermine]

AtmosR++ for reshade, but it looks like the crazy volumetric lighting stuff is set too high for me

[snow knoll]

Re the MXAO settings, what I do I lower the strength on blend mode 1 and do not enable the "high quality" mode (this just seems to make it darker) and if you use "fast effects" AO on top and lower the strength to just 0.1 or so you'll find the counter balance each other and the effect is quite good.

For SSS AO I slide that all the way right to effectively disable

Employ HDR and tone mapping to correct lights and colors etc. And/or a good LUT if you know of one (not using one myself).

okay, nvm it loaded and she disabled every effect since it prolly doesn't change anything

[unkempt wasp]

That moment when you figured out how to solve the grainy trees and foliage, but it's been so long that I can't remember how to do it again.

[hushed plank]

I just ramped up the Nvidia AA to 8X. 😃

[unkempt wasp]

I remembered how to do it. You have to download a higher res foliage/tree mod and then enable TFAA and DRME or Motionvector in reshade.

[hushed plank]

I couldn't get the TFAA and DRME to look good without looking blurry in motion so now use Midwinter trees mod (no shimmering) with said AA.

[unkempt wasp]

From what I remember, there are a few different ways to get around the issue. However, I never really bothered trying anything other than the one solution that worked for me.

[hushed plank]

I'm lucky also because I have 1440p screen. Looks smooth AF.

[left lynx]

I can't open the reshade window in vanilla GAMMA with reshade already installed. The key input is still "Home" correct?

[harsh sparrow]

Where did put this on ?

[hushed plank]

You go in nvidia control panel and make a profile for your game using the game exe. Then you can set your AA from there and it will activate in game. I also have in-game smaa on low.

[calm ether]

hey guys, i've just now installed reshade for a new run in the zone, wanted to ask you, the reshade says that there were few things he couldn't compile is it neccesser? and if so, what can be the issue

ey sorry to disturb you so late, how'd you set up yours in nvidia

Well, I don't use gamma but you have to use the exe in your bin folder that you run your game from. Mine is dx11avx I think. Not on pc now.

[sudden epoch]

how do i get rid of this annoying fog

[elder ingot]

You could try increasing the display gamma

[errant echo]

How would I go about reducing the intensity of the bloom/lights here? I've fiddled with just about every slider and setting I can but can't seem to get it to not look way too blown out like it is

[elder ingot]

Try setting the bloom exposure to 1 and the threshold to 8

[errant echo]

in SSS?

[elder ingot]

Yep

[errant echo]

Thanks, that helped a bit though I think the main culprit was "use weather presets", turning that off helped the most imo, though I have another issue I'm not sure how to tackle- the game is looking incredibly blurry and I'm not sure why. I have AA enabled through Nvidia control panel but what settings would make this less blurry and pixelated?

[elder ingot]

Oh yeah for sure
That pixelation is normal

It’s just aliasing

Since the entire screen renders at the same resolution

NVIDIA AA doesn’t really work

But you could try DSR

That’ll help a decent bit

Otherwise you’ll need higher resolution foliage

This may help

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1297762722380779541

I have a custom reshade in here with paid shaders

That do a really good job with antialiasing

To the point where there is almost no aliasing left

And I use it with DSR 1.78x

So that there’s almost none of that left

[errant echo]

Alrighty, I'll take a look, thanks!

[sudden epoch]

wdym display gamma?

[elder ingot]

Np

[elder ingot]

The mid-range colors

I meant decrease tho mb

[sudden epoch]

its not that, i think its the sun rays

like its definetly something with lighting

[pliant eagle]

i was having a lot of reshade options earlier, suddenly they dissapeared any clues how to find them back?

[elder ingot]

Could be
Try decreasing the volumetric intensity in SSS settings

[nocturne plover]

That looks almost like a reshade thing.

[sudden epoch]

i dont even have sss as an option

im gonna try and reinstall gamma see if that fixes it

[elder ingot]

Check MCM

[elder ingot]

Could be
But I think it’s something different
Unless mazon’s got a lot of reshade effects on

[nocturne plover]

Yeah, now that I really look at the image, I think you are correct. The sunrays are strong which I don't think a reshade would directly effect rays.

[nocturne plover]

There are the in-game settings (not SSS settings) under Lighting that allow you to decrease or turn off sun rays. I usually set Sun Rays Mode to screen space and set the Sun Rays Main and Base sliders all the way left. Also, if you're using Atmospherics, you can reinstall it and enable the option Fog Distance Increase.

That second image looks like the sun rays are from your character's shadow which, can be turned off in the in-game settings as well but, you shouldn't need to do that.

And as a "hail marry" you could try resetting SSS by opening axr_options.ltx in MO and removing all the SSFX lines.

[sudden epoch]

ive tried playing with the settings and found out that it might have something to do with the anomaly file itself. im just not sure what nit is

like its unplayble since everything is dark

i tried messing with the sun ray settings and this happened...

everthing turns black

its definetly something with lighting

from the base game

[dusty monolith]

Is there any way to not make the trees look like absolute shit

[empty dock]

Is there a way to add ambient light / bloom without ReShade? I re-installed SSS but still don’t seem to have the post processing module

[viral magnet]

Yes
You may want to install a tree mod in general to counteract it. Default "winter trees" look the worst btw I would at least change it to autumn trees or summer/spring if you like that. By reinstalling the Grass Tweaks mod

But beyond that, if you need to counteract it more with reshade?
Use HoleFiller for one, costs almost nothing and it alleviates much of the problem by itself.
If you need more than that, start using AA options but the only one I found to be the best is TFAA with DRME enabled right above it. You can find how to get those to show up on reshade somewhere here.
DRME + TFAA will cost FPS and you will probably want to tweak the settings specifically the half/full/quarter resolution rendering and such, the temporal filter strength, maybe the clamping too if you ever notice something being strange.

If you want to save some fps you can try QUINT Motion Vectors instead of DRME for your TFAA. It looks slightly worse to me but has a few more fps. I personally just use DRME with the sttings turned down as it looks better IMO.

Overall though it looks significantly better if you use Holefiller and/or DRME + TFAA (or quint motion vectors + tfaa)

BTW I assumed you meant the pixelation and all the weird glittery sparkling crap with all the trees. This is how to fix that

[viral magnet]

those are leaves

but they do look a bit weird, theres probably retextures that will get rid of that or make it better

Just reloaded rtgi and double checked my pda, just in case I had missed shadowing in it before. My pda looked normal. I know that the Z thicknes can cause weird shadow issues but, I don't think it will affect your pda. Try adjusting it anyways. You may have additional setings in Reshade itself to get rtgi to work properly. If you're using Marty's RTGI, then check out this video. It might be of some help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTTuW2_qsqQ
Honestly, to me, it looks just ok in this game and its not worth losing 10fps or so. Using SSS and a few reshade settings will probably look as good if not better with nearly no fps drop.

oh nvm

can you go to digital signatures?

also you might want to add a windows security exclusion if you havent already

[grim breach]

i have both anomaly and gamma parent folders excluded currently.

this stumped me, but im used to win10 so maybe im just dumb

should i add the ini as seperate exclusions as well? i figured the parent path should encompass the subfolders too

looks like i literally have to edit the registry to show the security tab. i love win11!

[nocturne plover]

DTAA does well, it made my trees look fuller.

[elder ingot]

Yeah DFTAA is also pretty good

If you want you can use both

[grim breach]

fixed it by adding a key in the registry. wow.

[nocturne plover]

Hmm... I over looked DFTAA. Will have to try it.

[elder ingot]

Dayum
Hopefully you’re not gonna have to do that again

[elder ingot]

It’s pretty good
Might be a bit strong but give it a try and see for yourself

[grim breach]

yeah, seems to be fixed now. thanks for your assistance comrade!

[terse loom]

Wow, your game in the left screenshot looks absolutely amazing, wtf o.o

[elder ingot]

no problem товарищ

[swift robin]

Does reshade negatively affect performance?

[old delta]

This SSS version 20 will be the death of me. I cant fix the overly dark shadows, I cant fix the ever permanent overwhelming fog. None of the proposed solutions work, I cant even open the shaders folder in MO as well for some reason to disable it

[stiff heron]

Have you tried deleting the shaders in your Anomaly/appdata/shaders-cache ?

[old delta]

Yep

[stiff heron]

Thought I’d ask. I had an issue where everything was super dark after an update and nuking that folder fixed it for me. Best of luck.

[old delta]

Aye cheers mate

[nocturne plover]

My normal usage is tiny tweaks with color and basic ao and can see 2 to 5 fps drops. If you're going to be playing with rtgi or similar as well, expect 10+ fps drops.

[wild owl]

sorry guys now i've just intalled gamma, which benefit should i have if i do reshade?my installation now is clear but i want to understand why reshade is an hot topic

[slate magnet]

depends highly on the preset

it can not affect it at all with a light preset

[oblique copper]

its better update reshade or not?

[nocturne plover]

Before and after reshade. I am using other settings outside of reshade to increase brightness a bit and to accommodate my monitor's hdr levels.
You'll want to check out the faq section on how to install reshade.

[elder ingot]

If you like, I have a graphics pack that might help with that

It includes everything you’ll need
Textures, shaders, VFX and all that

[old delta]

Please, Im gonna go insane trying to fix this by myself

[elder ingot]

Alright then

Here’s the link

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1297762722380779541

Install instructions are in the top pinned comment

And on the website

[old delta]

Thank you man, I will absolutely try and report back

[elder ingot]

Alr

If you need any help just lmk

[old delta]

Cheers

[elder ingot]

If you like, I can walk you through it in a few mins

The installation process

[nocturne plover]

That last step you have is important! I missed it the first go around because I was skimming Haha. Thats a great setup you have there... makes things easy.

[old delta]

It will take some time to dowload all the stuff, so perhaps later, thank you

[vapid marsh]

Anyone use Agressor Reshade or Natural zone reshade? Im just looking for nice setting

[old delta]

My download speed is a whopping 300kb/s since heavy snowstorm messed shit up

[elder ingot]

ah alr then
feel free to do it whenever you're ready

and if you need any help, just ping me on the forum and I'll see what I can do

[old delta]

I am downloading it, but you know, EXTREMELLY slowly

[elder ingot]

yeah my goal with it was to drastically improve the graphics of the game, while also being easy to install

so that even people who are new to modding could do it

[elder ingot]

alr

[old delta]

first folder is 9 gb that is an insane size for such a download speed

[elder ingot]

yeah sry about that XD

[old delta]

Unless you conjured that snowstorm thats not your fault xD

[elder ingot]

but the reason it's that big is because it has absolutely everything that you'll need

I don't run anything on top of this

just this pack

and this is the result

[old delta]

I will need tp figure out how to actually add new mods into MO since I never done that before

[elder ingot]

alr

[old delta]

And I hope that you dont need to disable shaders that comes with base gamma

[elder ingot]

you do

but i have a website that'll do everything for you

[old delta]

since for some reason I cant even open the shader folder that is shown in MO

[elder ingot]

huh

well I might be able to help you with that

you wanna join a vc?

[old delta]

see the shaders folder? Cant even open it up

[elder ingot]

oh

i think that's how its supposed to be

there's nothing in it

so that's why

its kinda wierd i know

[old delta]

Probs, youre the expert here

[elder ingot]

yeah I do what I can XD

if you like tho I can show you how to install the mod once you get it

[old delta]

Would be great, thanks

[elder ingot]

alr

go ahead and join installation support 1 then

[old delta]

But as I said, long haul before me, looking at that dreadfully slow internet speed

[elder ingot]

yeah

[old delta]

Joining vc would fucking cripple it further

[elder ingot]

true

[old delta]

Where, exactly?

[elder ingot]

under VC install support

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1007675356272148581

here

[old delta]

Right, once the download is finished, will do

[elder ingot]

alr then sounds good

just ping me when you're ready

[old delta]

Should I get all 4?

The optionals, the luts etc?

[elder ingot]

that's what I recommend

[old delta]

Alr will do

[elder ingot]

the reshade has some paid shaders for anti aliasing

which helps with that shimmering that you might get with leaves

the LUTs are basically a color theme for the game

so those help give it the atmosphere that it should have

[old delta]

If it fixes those damned shadows and fog, I am willing to jump through all the hoops

[elder ingot]

the main pack has textures, shaders, VFX and mask textures

and the optionals has weather and seasonal options

[old delta]

Damn if I could get a winter season option I could idk suck your dick or something whatever you prefer

[elder ingot]

it should fix it since this is basically redoes all of your graphics

[elder ingot]

lmao

yeah there's a winter option

Project INVERNO

[old delta]

Okay then drop your pants when youre ready lmao

[elder ingot]

but still has a bunch of other 4K textures

[elder ingot]

XD

me if you were serious: "sorry, but I'm 16, so I don't think that's going to work out well"

lol

[old delta]

prison cell is just a room would be my answer //kidding ofc

[elder ingot]

lmfao

[old delta]

But depending on the download speed, I might have time to do the full download/installation tommorow. Dunno your timezone, but its almost midnight for me and I have lectures+work tommorow, so I dont wanna be a complete sleepless zombie

[elder ingot]

ah alr then

that's fine

I have school tomorrow

but maybe afterward

actually

nvm i don't think that would work

it's almost 2PM for me rn

so that's about a 14 hour time difference

[old delta]

USA?

[elder ingot]

or 10 hour

[elder ingot]

Canada

[old delta]

Almost almost

[elder ingot]

yeah

[old delta]

Lithuania for me

[elder ingot]

alr

[old delta]

Might as well go to Ukraine for the ultimate reshade graphic epxerience

[elder ingot]

XD

nah STALKER looks better than real life

lmao

[old delta]

With enough shader mods cacked on top of it, sure

[elder ingot]

i mean hey

you can only get golden autumn at one time of year here

but in STALKER

I can get it any time I want

if I want a beautiful sunset

I can get that any time

if I want a rainstorm

I can get that too

[old delta]

You can actually get a generous amount of snow without worrying about global warming

[elder ingot]

yeah exactly

where I live

we had like one huge dump of snow

followed by sunny weather

and then intermittent smaller snowfalls

[old delta]

I think global warming is a conspiracy against christmas and new years. No bloody snow during the holidays, then a snowstorm and a beutiful pictureque snowy fields after it

Its a consipracy to destroy that festive feel im telling you

[elder ingot]

yea fr fr

[old delta]

Probably Obamas fault smh smh

[elder ingot]

yeah you can never get anything good out of a foreigner being in government

XD

jk

jk

Obama's great

[old delta]

Nah hes probably in a cabal with other poewful people who are all lizards from the moon or mars, I dont remember

[elder ingot]

lmao

anyway i got some work to do

but go ahead and lmk when the download's finished and I'll help you install it alr?

[old delta]

Right-o cheers mate

[elder ingot]
