╟🎑reshades

[slate magnet]

all im saying is

that they lack taste

and

most of them

dont use it

they tried to install it, but gave up

[elder ingot]

What part of it lacks taste

[slate magnet]

this is the reality

[elder ingot]

Nope

I helped em afterward

I provide as much support for it as I can

Either through the forum

Through DMs

Or on a VC

[vale wren]

Pipnik does have a very unlikable personality ngl

[elder ingot]

It’s true

[golden sandal]

Idk if this is the right place to ask but does anyone know what type of mods can make GAMMA look better? Because currently its a dark hell scape with a bunch of sun rays.

[hollow glade]

SSS, ES, and Atmospherics are the three basic mods that boost your visuals when set up correctly, along with user.ltx and there’s no need for any reshade or anything else.

[buoyant wagon]

any recomms for more visual mods?

currently got
rotten life
emergent zone 2
ccon grass
painters of the zone

[slate magnet]

unless you need antyalias

[hollow glade]

sss alpha with taa gonna be a thing in few days

[slate magnet]

yeah, yall keep saying that

few days, few months

reshade is an awesome tool and ill keep using it even if ascii implements aa in sss

[hollow glade]

[slate magnet]

👏

a breakthru indeed

[hollow glade]

it is but mostly for games that don't offer any customization from engine side and in anomaly you can achieve most of color corrections, ao etc.. from engine side, only things missing are dof and aa

[slate magnet]

not a single thing wrong with multiple ways of achieving the wanted effect

even if it comes with a staggering cost of (3!!!!!) frames per second

[opaque ravine]

so everyone says that drme + tfaa is like the best anti aliasing solution
i turn it on and my fps goes from like 160 to 120 but i honestly do not notice a difference literally anywhere, on edges, on trees and bushes, i dont see it, am i blind, is it because im standing still, i turn it on and off and my picture doesnt even seem to change lmao

like i notice more of a difference turning on immersive msaa lmao, atleast that gets rid of the jaggy edges of objects and houses and roofs and stuff, without affecting anything else like foliage or blurring everything

[halcyon frigate]

how can i fix my screenshots being blank and only having the ui with shaders?

[slate magnet]

either send video or stop yap

you also want cmaa on top of drme

[opaque ravine]

maybe my eyes are just broken or something idk

[opaque ravine]

oh ok

ill do that then ig

[slate magnet]

cant tell you without a video

[opaque ravine]

ok wait let me see if i can send one i guess

[opaque ravine]

damn yeah thats noticable

i dont see a difference when i do that for some reason

give me a minute

[slate magnet]

@opaque ravine put this in

[opaque ravine]

will try

welp its better than last time

lmao

i mean yeah its better with cmaa

i agree

i can see that too

[slate magnet]

[opaque ravine]

i should probably stick to other peoples presets lmao

i might be retarded

[slate magnet]

i mean you werent supposed to just know about cmaa

[opaque ravine]

is it just me or is everything still grainy when i stand still, yet smooth when i walk sideways

[slate magnet]

got any other effects?

[opaque ravine]

nah

just your aa test preset

cmaa enabled

drme enabled

tfaa enabled

nothing else

didnt change any settings

[slate magnet]

what trees/grass are you using

[opaque ravine]

the standard ones that come with gamma 0.9.3.1

winter i guess i think

[slate magnet]

yeah

winter is the least alias friendly

[opaque ravine]

yeah they ugly as shit ngl

why tf did grok think this was a good idea lmao

[slate magnet]

if you want decent winter trees - use gardener of the zone(which is in gamma) or https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1303699338312159232

[opaque ravine]

aight aight thanks homie

[slate magnet]

sure

[opaque ravine]

yeah ima be honest standard gamma 0.9.3 looks ugly and dull and gray and brown as shit pretty much solely because of winter season preset

it just looks ass lmao

it doesnt even look like winter

[slate magnet]

then

change it?

[opaque ravine]

like smh if you want it to look winter then add inverno or something

[slate magnet]

[opaque ravine]

yeah i will xd

[slate magnet]

if you want to keep it winter/late fall while not looking ass

https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1324870296943198240

[opaque ravine]

ok cool

thx

[slate magnet]

yw

[opaque ravine]

i guess ill try to stick to winter season but try to make it not fugly xd

[opaque ravine]

i mean ima be honest it doesnt really look winter from the screenshots xd

everything looks very yellow

almost like a piss filter

[opaque ravine]

yea in this one its not as bad

but like

[slate magnet]

disable clear weathers if you hate sun

its not a winter config really

late fall/early winter

if you want winter with snow

you either do inverno

or

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/late-fall

[opaque ravine]

yea like thats a lotta yellow piss

too much for my taste xd

[opaque ravine]

yea tru

[slate magnet]

then change it

every single visual mod is modular

and youre using reshade anyway

you reinstall emergent zone lut, chose a cold one

[opaque ravine]

yea thatll probably be best for me imo lol

[opaque ravine]

aight

[slate magnet]

yeh

!winter

[slate magnet]

countless options

[opaque ravine]

fuck it ill try inverno and see how it looks

if the trees and foliage still look retarded ill try gardener of the zone or something ig idk

or those upscaled aurora trees

[slate magnet]

midwinter are the most alias friendly i think(when it comes to winter trees)

[opaque ravine]

will try thanks

whats stopping me from just using inverno with summer trees or something lmao
i mean yeah trees with leaves in winter is a bit silly but i would rather have that instead of fugly aliasing shimmering trees

[slate magnet]

[opaque ravine]

oh yeah this is cool

me likey

my only complaint is that there is an absurd amount of human footstep marks everywhere painted onto the ground texture, as if a whole army just marched through the map 5 minutes ago, which doesnt make sense at all lmao but yeah

like damn i fly around a little in demo record and can immediately tell this is just a small infinetly repeating texture across the whole map floor

would have preferred no footstep marks at all instead of this but like whatever

oh man thats some really nasty lod pop in on the texture aswell

even tho i have world, object render distance etc all at max

nah this a dealbreaker ngl

ok i fixed the lod pop in mostly

nope i didnt

starting to see a common theme here

seems to be a common issue with inverno, lod ground texture pop in, obvious infinetly repeating ground textures being an eyesore

he cooked but he kinda burned down the kitchen man, i give up on it

[slate magnet]

try late fall then

its also snowy

and more recent iirc

[opaque ravine]

ill try

i guess i could mask the texture nastiness by enabling grass but like

that kinda defeats the point of a snow mod imo

[elder ingot]

You could try this: https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1297762722380779541

[slate magnet]

[elder ingot]

I mean hey
It works

And doesn’t have those issues

Plus good AA and RTGI

[slate magnet]

(never listen to this guy^)

he

[opaque ravine]

i mean ok cool and all but like, i was talking about snow mods... that doesnt seem to be one... unless im missing something lol

[slate magnet]

(dont let him drag you into this)

[opaque ravine]

maybe i set my expectations a little too high lmao

[elder ingot]

There is a winter pack for this

[elder ingot]

This guy hates on my pack for no reason
Just don’t mind him

[slate magnet]

(its awfull)

[opaque ravine]

Lmao

[elder ingot]

Again

You said it was an opinion

Keep it to urself

[slate magnet]

you do you, but i warned you

[opaque ravine]

At this point i want to see just how bad it is out of sheer curiosity if he has such a strong opinion about it

[elder ingot]

Alr

Pls do

Trust me
You won’t regret it

[lofty heart]

hey guys, i noticed that sometimes after reinstalling or changing stuff in gamma some effects goes missing

how would i fix that, or ''find'' them

[slate magnet]

wdym some effects goes missing

what does that mean

[lofty heart]

when you press Home key

[slate magnet]

what went missing

[lofty heart]

(its not about your preset), but for example, i remember having ''Hole Filler''

and its gone

[slate magnet]

lord

what the fuck is this preset

[lofty heart]

bro, i just like to mess with things more than play LOL

[slate magnet]

okay

well first things first

i see that you have 0 idea about what youre doing

just type hole in the search box

[lofty heart]

done

[opaque ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/south-park-its-gone-gif-4104229

[lofty heart]

yeah, but i like to try, look

[slate magnet]

and?

done and what?

its there or no

[lofty heart]

no, thats why i ask

[opaque ravine]

i am impressed by your ability to make everything look both grainy and blurry at the same time

[slate magnet]

show paths in the settings

[lofty heart]

SAIDJASUDASUDH

[lofty heart]

yes sir

[opaque ravine]

why is bro wearing finnish flags on his jacket

[lofty heart]

more important bro, he is smoking with gas mask

[opaque ravine]

dw bro i got you, im pretty good at filling holes as long as theyre the male kind

[lofty heart]

dm me rsrsrs

[slate magnet]

just

save your abomination of a preset

back it up

!reshade // and do this again

[void depot]

@slate magnet To enable Reshade Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[slate magnet]

a shader doesnt just go away

you must have fucked something up

im saving this

[lofty heart]

dont judge me bro, its classy and sexy

[slate magnet]

if you like it, then im happy for you

[opaque ravine]

ngl i have more confidence in the piss filter preset than this

bro is trying his best

babys first reshade

just like me fr

cut em some slack

[slate magnet]

hows xgp

u tried it

or it is still downloading cause its 40gigabytes of random jank

[opaque ravine]

nah i havent not yet

im hesitant lmao

maybe i will but

not rn

[slate magnet]

let me know when u do

ahh unlucky

[opaque ravine]

wait is it really 40 gigabytes

[slate magnet]

ye, about that

[opaque ravine]

that sounds like a lot for a reshade preset ini file

[hollow glade]

[slate magnet]

its not a reshade preset

[opaque ravine]

so wtf is it then

[slate magnet]

same for the thing i sent you earlier

well xgp is 40 gigabytes of repacked mods and broken configs, it also uses reshade 6.3.3 (it only causes crashes)

[opaque ravine]

oh

cool i guess

[slate magnet]

and my thing is well

a list of suggested mods

that fit together

and then a reshade

but everything is optional so

[slate magnet]

BUT

there are reshade presets

in those 40 gigs

what he does is

hes nonstop lurking in https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/920013807479296042

and asking people for their reshades

then he puts them in his thing

so there are like 200 reshades in there probably

[opaque ravine]

oh ok

surely there must be something good in there right

[slate magnet]

check this out for example

[opaque ravine]

kek

[slate magnet]

[slate magnet]

ye, mines in there too probably

even tho i didnt consent to it

but im pretty sure that everything is there

[opaque ravine]

at this point i think ill just stick with the reshades that come packaged with gamma lmao

[slate magnet]

fair choice

i mean

you could

i know that

on moddb page of inverno

there is a reshade for inverno

so its gonna be winter themed obv

you could go and try this one

[opaque ravine]

i mean like thats cool and all but no amount of postprocessing or reshading is going to solve the terrible ground texture lod pop in that inverno suffers from and also the infinetly repeating ground texture or 27 million footstep marks everywhere

i give up on inferno lmao

[lyric zephyr]

Hey guys is there a thread about getting only reshade updated? Thank you in advance!

[opaque ravine]

ill just slap in a basic reshade like atmos and just play the game, maybe change the season too and yeah

[hollow glade]

i checked modlist, also some of em serve no purpose because they are already in gamma or other mod overwrite it

[wild turtle]

is INVERNO compatible with ZR?

[slate magnet]

well OFCOURSE they are

[hollow glade]

like rotten have veh redux and overwrites whole gtr

[slate magnet]

hes incapable of listening so

[slate magnet]

ye i told him that

this whole thing shouldnt even be listed, as it only causes issues for people who arent keen on modding

but nobody seems to care enough so

I even asked about this once in modposting

the answer was that

"oh this mod"

"yeah it is what is it"

[slate magnet]

about what?

!reshade // you do that if you want to install reshade

[void depot]

@slate magnet To enable Reshade Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[wild turtle]

ok thx!

[lyric zephyr]

@slate magnet Yeah sry it said that theres a new version of reshade available. I thought I could update it. Im new to this stuff

[slate magnet]

ah alr

yeah you never do that

the one that you have already has anything you would need

updating only causes issues and crashes

[lyric zephyr]

Ok thank you very much!

[lunar grove]

Hey, I enabled reshade and would know if the profile already set are all made for Gamma ?
Or maybe more simple, is there a Reshade profil you would recommend ?

[slate magnet]

they are made for stalker

they wouldnt be there if they werent

[lunar grove]

It make sense, I was thinking that maybe it's was a compilation of many profil for Stalker/anomaly/gamma, all copy/past to give a lot of choice, but not all ^^

[slate magnet]

https://tenor.com/view/suit-black-man-sitting-posing-gif-27703959

[lunar grove]

is there one that you recommend ? there is so many

[slate magnet]

no, i cant recommend any

its purely subjective

[lunar grove]

Yeah its subjective, but there must be one that please most players or more famous, no ?
A Profile who would make consensus
(Google say yes, but I'mot sure that "consensus" is the right word in english)

[slate magnet]

well uh

using reshade is mostly viewed as a bad thing here nowadays

[lunar grove]

don't force yourself, I doesn't want to bother you ^^

[slate magnet]

so there is no "community's favourite" atm

#╟🎑reshades message id just take a look at this

you can also search "reshade" into https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1035807043933720576

[lunar grove]

I will, and thanks for your Time

I already look in the Mods posting but like I said, there is so many that I'm lost, sometime too many possibility doesn't help me to choose ^^'

Wow, this google sheet is amazing!
And it's in the pinned message and I didn't see it -.-'

[opaque ravine]

why not just

try them all out and see which one you like the most

i mean most of the time its as simple as klicking load on an ini file, or downloading it then putting it into the folder, klick refresh and then load

[lofty heart]

@lunar grove I CAN SHOW YOU THE BEST PRESET

[lunar grove]

I know, and I'm not asking because of some sort of difficulty

[opaque ravine]

oh no

[lunar grove]

I'm asking because I don't have that much XP in stalker/Gamma

and because there is just "too many" profile to be able to test them right

[opaque ravine]

bro doesnt have enough xp lmao

[lunar grove]

...

[opaque ravine]

not that many lmao

[lunar grove]

If you want to laugh at someone, pick someone else, thx

[opaque ravine]

im not

also like

[lofty heart]

@lunar grove

[opaque ravine]

if you want the best preset for yourself then you need to make your own, i mean its kinda difficult and requires some knowledge and learning but yeah

or modify an existing one to your liking

[lunar grove]

It's not what I ask

[opaque ravine]

holy bloom and blur lmao

[lofty heart]

you prefer sharpen?

[opaque ravine]

then what are you asking even lol

[opaque ravine]

not sure

[lofty heart]

@lunar grove i know you didn't ask me, but if you wanna a suggestion, try Emergent Zone and play with reshade yourself

try to find something you like

[opaque ravine]

ok nah that is way too much blur in the distance lmao

[lofty heart]

yesss il

uk

ik

[opaque ravine]

how are you even gonna shoot at people

[lofty heart]

but i prefer this over the little pixelate edges

[lofty heart]

when you aim it focus

[opaque ravine]

you mean aliasing?

lol there are multiple anti aliasing solutions that dont have to be this kind of blur

[lofty heart]

but them it messes with the PDA

ive already tried local anti aliasing, other thing etc

[opaque ravine]

what

idk i use some aa in reshade and it doesnt mess with my pda

[lunar grove]

I will!
Thanks for the screenshot, it look great, a little too much Deapth of field for my taste but I know how to remove or lower it and customise the profile ^^

It's you who did it ?

[lofty heart]

yeah, thats when the problem begins

[lunar grove]

haha x)

[opaque ravine]

tbh i only tried out reshade because i wanted to try out the AA options

wanted some kind of AA since foliage looks awful otherwise and the ingame AA youre not supposed to use, incompatible with 3dss and generally its bad or something

[lofty heart]

yes, me too. But i prefer ''blur'' them

[opaque ravine]

the amount of stuff you can do with reshade tho is crazy

so many options

i dont understand what 90% of them are

[lofty heart]

first i reinstalled the shaders on Mo2 (i guess is 240 and 190) then i installed Emergent Zone, and for the reshade prest i just ticked what i liked

its a mess

[opaque ravine]

need a fucking degree in graphics design to use it properly lmao

[lofty heart]

but in the end, if fou like them its ok

if i disable some options, it becames more ''clear'' just as @opaque ravine say, but its preference after all

if you want a preset that ''most'' people like, you probably will be disappointed, you got try for yourself and see what fits more

but a i really suggest you start with this

reinstalling this 2 on Mo2
290- Atmospherics Shaders Weathers and Reshade Latest - Hippobot | enable only 00, 01, 06 and 10
190- Screen Space Shaders 20 - Ascii1457 | enable EVERYTHING EXCEPT 04 ice version, 10 vanilla emission, 99, manual installation

and use Emergent Zone,

[scarlet epoch]

Coming back to gamma after a while of not playing, how do enable tsaa in reshade again?

[slate magnet]

can you stop pasting my guide and calling it yours

[slate magnet]

there isnt such thing as "tsaa"

[scarlet epoch]

I remember doing a path or something like this to gain a tsaa option but i can barely remember 😦 Oh well.

[slate magnet]

you do "**" after the \

\shaders\**

and no, still

there is no such thing as tsaa

i even googled it

tfaa, taa sure

[snow geyser]

hi, any tips to make the game look sharper?

[slate magnet]

a sharpening shader in reshade

[scarlet epoch]

ill try and see if it works, ty

[snow geyser]

which button brings up the shader menu? havent played in a while

[slate magnet]

home

but it needs to be installed first

[slate magnet]

!reshade

[void depot]

@snow geyser To enable Reshade Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[snow geyser]

my main problem is that around the trees it looks really grainy

[slate magnet]

then you want it smoother

not sharper

[snow geyser]

then smoother yeah

[slate magnet]

make sure your paths look like this

[slate magnet]

put this file in /anomaly/bin

[snow geyser]

aight, just enabled shaders, and put that file in bin

imma start it up

[opaque ravine]

i personally like atmosr+ or edens reshade

[lofty heart]

im not calling mine, dont worry, just telling him that if he wants to starte alone, this changes are good

[elder ingot]

You can try using those with effects like DTAA or CAA

Both are good for antialiasing

NFAA is pretty good too

[slate magnet]

^ hes a lier dont listen

[elder ingot]

lmao

[slate magnet]

never listen to this man, he wants you to have problems

[elder ingot]

Other way around my guy

I’m tryna help

You’re trying to get people to follow instructions

There a difference

[slate magnet]

[elder ingot]

Don’t listen to PIPNIK tbh

He’s a bit of a confusing person

As you can see

A minute ago he was disagreeing with me

Now he’s agreeing with me

I honestly don’t understand this guy

[opaque ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-we-one-gif-18212100

[slate magnet]

Alright, look

im gonna put it simply

as we all know

Im the CEO of Reshade

simply put

would you either trust the ceo or some random dude?

[opaque ravine]

cant decide if i should take advice from the person repackaging and collecting peoples presets like theyre empty cans to sell to sidorovich or the guy that loves putting a piss filter and gigantic vignette onto everything

ill just take the normie presets thanks

[elder ingot]

I don't take people's presets btw

I made my own

that's what I use

and unlike what PIPNIK says, I have asked for permission

I still haven't gotten to making a credits page, but for now I have a list of mods on the homepage of my website

[slate magnet]

🗣️

[opaque ravine]

im not sure why or how but atmosr+ somehow manages to eat more performance than atmosr++ lmao

[slate magnet]

they both eat a tremendous amout yeah

i dont really even know how they manage to do so

[elder ingot]

what effects do they have anyway?

i gotta check em out

[slate magnet]

pls dont

[opaque ravine]

they kinda too heavy tho yea

forgot just how addicted i am to high fps

after switching from 60hz to 180hz, 60fps feels more like 30 now lmao

anything under 100 just looks nasty

[slate magnet]

ever tried lossless scaling

[opaque ravine]

yea ik what framegen is

[slate magnet]

no

its not just framegen

its the framegen

[opaque ravine]

i mean idk

[slate magnet]

[opaque ravine]

framegen is basically just motion smoothing

causes artifacts and stuff

[slate magnet]

[opaque ravine]

doesnt actually improve responsiveness in any way

[slate magnet]

Ill let you think this way, i wont try to change it

[opaque ravine]

i mean idk

if im wrong then you can explain why i guess

[elder ingot]

while that's true, good frame gen can be helpful

DLSS is good

but only to an extent ofc

[slate magnet]

dont listen^

[elder ingot]

I find that it really helps me get smoother gameplay without sacrificing quality

but at the same time

[opaque ravine]

im not really a fan of fake pixels and fake frames

[elder ingot]

the performance preset kinda looks shitty

[slate magnet]

hes on 20 frames^

[elder ingot]

i only use it for cod

when I like to run 200

but on this engine

there isn't much point unless ur already running high fps

[elder ingot]

they're already fake

you kinda have to pick between graphics quality and performance in this case

either you get more frames with a slight cost to quality

or you get less frames without sacrificing quality

[opaque ravine]

ill stick to native with a modest reshade that keeps me at 100fps+

[elder ingot]

then again

Lossless Scaling isn't free

[elder ingot]

alr

i mean if you're running 100+ fps then you should do fine with XGP

but it's up to u

[slate magnet]

[opaque ravine]

i mean its like 5$

thats almost free lmao

[elder ingot]

yeah true

just saying tho

[opaque ravine]

i mean if i want framegen i could just enable afmf in the driver

[elder ingot]

what's afmf?

[opaque ravine]

amd framegen

ive tried it before though, it causes ghosting at fast motion, just like any other framegen would really, dont like it

had it set to go from like 90fps to 180

to be fair i was using it on the driver level on a game that didnt support it / didnt have it implemented in any way in the game of course so yeah

but gamma doesnt either obviously lmao

[elder ingot]

ah yeah AMD frame gen is not that good tbh

I've tried FSR and it's just not worth it

DLSS is good tho

much higher quality than FSR

with better performance

using DLSS with FSR can be helpful

but FSR alone isn't good

[opaque ravine]

why the fuck would you use dlss and fsr both at the same time 💀

[slate magnet]

i told u dont listen to this freak

[opaque ravine]

yeah i know fsr obviously isnt as good as dlss

but im not a fan of upscalers, i dont use them anyway

or framegen for that matter

i just wanted good raster for the price

[slate magnet]

youre special too

but im not gonna dig into that

[opaque ravine]

i mean idk bro

again if im wrong im open to other opinions

you can correct me i can listen

im not allergic to criticism

but if youre just gonna call me a retard without explaining why then thats kinda pointless isnt it

[elder ingot]

it can be helpful for useable quality with more frames

but DLSS alone is better for quality

COD has the option to use both

and I do

because I prefer high frames over quality

[slate magnet]

didnt call you a retard

[opaque ravine]

at that point just drop down dlss to performance or ultra performance or something

[slate magnet]

and im not gonna critisize you

[elder ingot]

I did

[slate magnet]

i can make you aware of the facts

[elder ingot]

I just want as many frames as possible

[opaque ravine]

idk man it was kinda implied i mean what else does the word special mean here lmao

[slate magnet]

well, a lot of things

[elder ingot]

I run ~250 frames on COD

[opaque ravine]

well what are they

[elder ingot]

but ~20-30 on STALKER

💀 how does one play with 20-30fps

my god that sounds nasty

[elder ingot]

it is

[opaque ravine]

i would rather shoot myself

[elder ingot]

but I deal with it because my game looks nice

[slate magnet]

i just need to find my guide for it

one sec

[elder ingot]

I don't play STALKER competitively or anything like that

I just play it for fun

and i find a good-looking game to be fun

[slate magnet]

#╟🎑reshades message there

[elder ingot]

so I deal with the fps cost

[slate magnet]

i tried to explain it simply there

[elder ingot]

but with COD

i need to play more competitively

[opaque ravine]

i dont play it competitively either but 20-30fps is so laggy and stuttery i wouldnt even consider it playable lmao

id vomit

[elder ingot]

that's why I prefer FPS over quality

[slate magnet]

hes still going

[elder ingot]

as long as I can see enough I'm good

[elder ingot]

yep

using reasoning

unlike you

[slate magnet]

you lack the ability to read

[elder ingot]

I'm going to be adding presets that do the job of LUTs in my next update to XGP

[slate magnet]

please dont

let it go

[elder ingot]

these are two examples

both are the same place

at the same time

[slate magnet]

both awfull

classic

[elder ingot]

but with different presets

it's cloudy

[opaque ravine]

i mean yeah probably true
inevitably, framegen doesnt come without its downsides (artifacts, ghosting, input lag) but if those downsides are going to be noticable or not is quite subjective and dependant on a lot of things

[elder ingot]

my regular preset looks like this

[opaque ravine]

i havent tried it for gamma but maybe i should idk

[elder ingot]

this is a sunrise

[slate magnet]

about that i can only say for myself, with light framegen (this being 2x) i cant notice any artifacts even if i wanted to, more so i cant even judge if a frame is a real one or a "fake" one

but in order for this to work as intended

you need spare vram

(obviously)

[opaque ravine]

i mean i have more than enough spare vram lmao

[elder ingot]

alr

DSR might help if you don't want to sacrifice quality

[opaque ravine]

i might try framegen but im mostly just concerned about ghosting, input lag, and maybe artifacts

[elder ingot]

not sure what the AMD equivalent is

[slate magnet]

if so, then you shouldnt be worried, you can always refund the 5$

[elder ingot]

true

[slate magnet]

a test would literally last like what

10 minutes

so yeah

just give it a try

[elder ingot]

I think they give you 2-3 hours right?

until you're no longer eligible for a refund

[opaque ravine]

my gut feeling tells me my gpu driver level frame gen developed by a multi billion dollar corporation is probably going to be better than a 5$ steam program developed by some guy in a siberian basement but idk

[slate magnet]

🗣️

[opaque ravine]

ill just try afmf for now i guess

ill consider it

[slate magnet]

thats where you are dead wrong

and even tho i have given u facts

you still refuse to acknolwedge

[opaque ravine]

i mean idk

[slate magnet]

I shall not be interfering no more

[opaque ravine]

ive never tried lossless scaling

i have no idea how good it is

[elder ingot]

yeah

but you can get a refund

[opaque ravine]

but i doubt its that good

[elder ingot]

and it's not independent

it uses those same frame gen methods

the ones developed by multibillion dollar companies

like AMD FSR

and DLSS

[slate magnet]

no

hes lying again

it uses dlss or fsr as scaling methods

frame gen is developed by the author of the software

its called lsfg

[elder ingot]

ah thats mb

and it's not lying

[slate magnet]

you have 0 idea about this

stop talking

[elder ingot]

sure

i have 0 idea

now educate me pls

[slate magnet]

#╟🎑reshades message

[opaque ravine]

no idea if afmf or lsfg is better

would have to try out both for myself

i mean how do you even measure which framegen is better lmao

amount of input delay and ghosting i guess

pretty difficult to measure and compare that though lmao

[slate magnet]

by looking at it

[opaque ravine]

well have you tried both

[slate magnet]

i should make a whole video about it

im tired of explaining

[slate magnet]

no, simply because i dont see the need to

ls is working flawlessly for me

[opaque ravine]

so how the fuck do you even know which one is better then

[slate magnet]

im on a 3060 12gig

[opaque ravine]

youre full of shit then lmao

[slate magnet]

...

where did i say one is better

link me the message

[opaque ravine]

.

[slate magnet]

yeah

i didnt say its better

i said youre wrong

[opaque ravine]

lmao

literally same thing

[slate magnet]

no

[opaque ravine]

this is semantics at this point

[slate magnet]

its not

but i dont care at this point xd

wanted to help you gain frames but youre so obnoxius

i just cant stand this anymore

[opaque ravine]

lol i know how to use fg but im not sure if i should or which one

ill just try out both and see which one i like more

or if i even manage to tell the difference at all

welp i cant get afmf2 to work, probably because the game isnt even being recognized by the driver

lets see if i can somehow force it to recognize that im in a game lmao

damn i got it to work

i mean... it works i guess

theres probably ghosting and input lag but im not really noticing it so far

now to try out lsfg i guess

[elder ingot]

alr

if you're already running high frames then you probably won't notice much of a difference

[opaque ravine]

yea my avg fps at native is like 150 without reshade

and 99% fps at like 100

im doing 90fps -> 180 for both

2x framegen

since my monitor is capped at 180

and i can get a stable 90fps native easily

[opaque ravine]

well im not sure what im doing wrong but it seems kinda stuttery

or maybe thats placebo

or maybe im doing something wrong

@slate magnet what settings do you recommend for lsfg

[elder ingot]

could be CPU or GPU latency

[opaque ravine]

well it was a lot less stuttery than this in the same exact environment with afmf

so

idk if im just doing something wrong or

huh

seems to be working fine now

dont know what that was all about

ive noticed that the ghosting from frame gen in general is by far the most obvious in games if you have a crosshair and move your mouse sideways

i tried afmf2 in metro exodus and the crosshair ghosting was nasty

i mean you couldnt see it unless you flicked but still

its definetly noticable with lsfg here too, crosshair does ghost a bit

ok damn the ghosting on the crosshair is worse on afmf2 in my opinion

even the target distance number ghosts on both sides in a nasty way on afmf

as for input lag, i dont see a noticable difference in either of the fgs, i dont have a measuring device either of any kind lmao so

lsfg cant stop shitting itself though for some reason

i move my mouse look around turn around and it feels stuttery and not really fluid compared to afmf
i get noticable micro stutters with lsfg

man both of these suck lmao fuck this im sticking to native

if i had to choose one i would probably stick with afmf2 though

first of all i didnt have to pay seven whole dollars for it

second of all it doesnt have any micro stuttering, it feels fluid

the ghosting is worse but not noticable unless you have a crosshair on and flick your mouse around quickly

maybe lsfg just runs like shit because im on an amd card or something, idk

welp that was kinda a waste of 7 dollars

oh yeah those stutters are definetly noticable on lsfg what the fuck

sometimes it runs fluid runs just fine and then a moment later its shitting itself

native 90fps looks more fluid than this lsfg 180fps

maybe im just doing something wrong, maybe its because im on an amd card but nah i prefer afmf over lsfg

im refunding this lmao

[elder ingot]

alr then XD

good to know

now I know to avoid it

[opaque ravine]

i mean idk

maybe itll work fine for you

maybe im just doing something wrong

maybe my settings are wrong

maybe its because LSFG 3.0 is like a neural AI model or some shit and im on an AMD card

i have no idea

i just know it seems to be very unstable and unreliable on my XFX 7900GRE

the other guy uses it on a 3060 and hes happy with it so i guess it runs fine for him

i just kinda copied his settings

well except the resolution scale

i set that to 100

no upscaling

no thanks to fake pixels in my fake frames, didnt want it to affect image quality

maybe its just placebo idk

ngl im just gonna stick to native at this point, native 90fps feels more fluid and stable than framegenned 180fps lmao

[elder ingot]

ah alr then

idk it's a bit of a choice that you'll have to make with less optimized games

either quality and true frames

or high fps and smoother gameplay

[opaque ravine]

oh i can run gamma just fine with atmosgamma (standard reshade, light) at like 150fps avg and 99% fps at 100 so like

im just goofing around testing, for science i guess

maybe ill consider a more heavy reshade preset like atmosr+ with afmf2 frame gen idk

[elder ingot]

ah alr

I wish I could do the same XD

[opaque ravine]

damn what card u on

[elder ingot]

3060

[opaque ravine]

damn lmao

seems like the 3060 is popular here

[elder ingot]

yeah it's a good GPU

but unfortunately it can't keep up with modding on a laptop

[opaque ravine]

oh its a 3060m?

mobile version? integrated into a laptop?

that means its skimped

performs worse than desktop full size 3060

💀

[elder ingot]

yeah unfortunately

but it's better than my desktop

which has a 1650

[opaque ravine]

💀

[elfin field]

anyone has an idea what may cause this illumination? i am using atmos R++ reshade and inverno.

[elder ingot]

likely bloom

try turning it down in SSS Settings>Post Process

[elfin field]

kk ill try ty

[elder ingot]

make sure Use Weather Presets is turned off

[elfin field]

will do thank you

[elder ingot]

I suggest setting the bloom intensity to 1

and threshold to 8

[elder ingot]

np

[elfin field]

ok

[elfin field]

sadly no change. still the same :/

[elfin field]

i have figured it out, it was a volumetric intensity under lights and shadows.

[elder ingot]

Ah alr

Glad it worked out

Check your exposure setting as well

Or brightness rather in basic light settings

[elfin field]

it was really only light sources from lamps and such. everything else looks great

[elder ingot]

Alr then

[tight flicker]

God is calling

[fervent sleet]

god i love how depressing my game looks

hi so does gamma come with reshade presets or?

I cant even open the reshade menu cuz pressing the "home" key does nothing

[slate magnet]

!reshade // did you do this?

Ahhh def did not see that ahahhaha thank you so much

Seems to be working

[swift robin]

to dark

[elder ingot]

That’s cus I’m standing in the dark

[azure terrace]

why does it looks so sharp and noisy even with film grain and sharpness off

[hollow glade]

what gpu do you have? that fps meter is discouraging when I look at it

[elder ingot]

XD yeah I’m running a Laptop 3060

So that’s why my frames are terrible

On a pc it’ll probably be double

Plus this is in Rostok

Which is more demanding

Normally I get 30-40 fps

[slate magnet]

[slate magnet]

have you tried not stacking 60 textures on top of each other?

just making sure

[elder ingot]

Yeah but they’re all in one mod so they load as one pack

[valid scarab]

Hey guys, I’m new to GAMMA. I was wondering how to make the game look as good as possible graphically. If hardware isn’t an issue and I want to push the best visuals possible, which mods would you recommend that are stable with this build?

[opaque ravine]

I doubt the 3060 is 2x faster than the 3060m

i mean yeah the laptop versions of gpus have to be skimped mainly because of size constraints and lack of proper dedicated cooling solutions but like

[opaque ravine]

rostok is quite demanding but on the cpu, because of a lot of npcs and items and people usually put their stashes there with a billion items and stuff. the engine also struggles to keep up with this

rostok is not demanding on the gpu

out of all the maps its quite small

with short sightlines

there isnt that much to render

also how the fuck are you playing with 25fps jesus christ i would rather kill myself

even 60fps feels nasty to me

100+ or bust

[elder ingot]

True

Tbh I like my game to look good and I don’t care too much about performance as long as it’s tolerable

But on COD I like to run around 200 fps so I turn down my settings

That way I can play better

[elder ingot]

This one’s pretty good: https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1297762722380779541

It’s a graphics pack that I made

Fairly easy to install

Has everything you’ll need

And is pretty customizable

If u need any help installing just lmk

[valid scarab]

awesome, thank you very much

[elder ingot]

Np
Enjoy!

[tight flicker]

good reshade for inverno?

[buoyant wagon]

any recomms for graphic mods? currently got rotten life, emergent zone2, ccon, & arrival

[elder ingot]

Same one i posted earlier: https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1297762722380779541

has everything you might need in terms of graphics

it includes rotten life and ccon

and comes with LUTs

plus I've got lots of different presets that you can use that'll do the same job as LUTs but without having to restart the game or delete the shader cache

[keen temple]

weather mods like atmospheric expansion can make a pretty big impact on the overall look and feel.

[elder ingot]

yeah that's why I recommended XGP
cus I have that included in there

along with some adjustments of my own to make it look more cinematic

and Apocalyptic Blowout Overhaul, which makes emissions look absolutely beautiful

[hollow glade]

You got everything you need, only thing left is to tweak .ltx and sss+es to get better visuals

[buoyant wagon]

what is ES?

[buoyant wagon]

I don't really want to run my FPS that low though I alr use Framegen

[buoyant wagon]

just installed liking it tons so far

[hollow glade]

Enhanced shades it’s already included in base gamma but have values to tweak in .h files in gamedata/shaders/r3/ or something like that

[slate magnet]

he fucking fell for it

[slate magnet]

your game bout to look like this

[slate magnet]

@rich gorge

where problem

[rich gorge]

You said not do do what someone suggested which was to install reshade from online right

but your guide says to open reshade as if I have it

[slate magnet]

!reshade // you do this

[void depot]

@slate magnet To enable Reshade Follow this: #╭📖faq message

[slate magnet]

my sister in christ

[rich gorge]

paste the bin folder rightyes I did

[slate magnet]

the guide consists of 5 sentences

for the love of god, just read it carefully

i promise its simple

[slate magnet]

you do what this says

then you keep reading the guide

[rich gorge]

OK SO read what I'm saying pleaaaase

I followed the guide to paste the bin folder from Gamma to Anomaly

And after that I went to your guide that you linked right

Like one of the first things your guide says to do is 'Open reshade'.. assuming I have it installed already? Does this mean GAMMA installed reshade for me? do I open it like an application in my computer or is it a menu in Stalker?

[slate magnet]

oh

no, to open reshade is to open its window in game

you do that by pressing home on your keyboard

[rich gorge]

oh

Right

if home doesn't work does that mean it isn't installed?

[slate magnet]

well, if you pasted the bin correctly

it has to be installed

[rich gorge]

Right ok

thanks

Sorry if I didn't explain properly what my trouble was

[slate magnet]

dont be sorry

[rich gorge]

I've never touched reshade

Well I seemed to get you frustrated lmao

[slate magnet]

i mean reshade pops up a window which says press home to open

but one could miss it

[slate magnet]

nah i just act like this

scroll down in the guide thread to see me frustrated

[rich gorge]

Yay it opened

[slate magnet]

Is this good

[slate magnet]

it isnt

[rich gorge]

ohno

[slate magnet]

show me settings tab

[rich gorge]

Are you actually the CEO of reshade

[slate magnet]

i used to be yeah

[rich gorge]

oh ok I'll go read agan

yayy

[rich gorge]

woah it's the pipnik

[slate magnet]

[slate magnet]

👏

[rich gorge]

everything goes blurry when I look side to side

[slate magnet]

if youre not planning to use reshade for anything else, you can go ahead to settings and check load only enabled effects

[rich gorge]

Ok easy

thank you btw

[slate magnet]

youre probably doing it really fast

[rich gorge]

is there any wayu to get crispiness or it's more a limitation

[slate magnet]

crispiness as for sharpness?

[rich gorge]

Very slowly, but I am looking at foliage so yeah

[rich gorge]

yeah

[slate magnet]

yeah, easily

dozens of sharpening shaders to chose from

just type in sharpen in the search box

or sharp

[rich gorge]

too many
I'll just use yours

customer loyalty etc etc

[slate magnet]

this one is good, and not overdone

id recommend it

but lower the sharpen value

[rich gorge]

Oo I like it

[slate magnet]

told you im the ceo

[slate magnet]

yummers

[rich gorge]

[opaque ravine]

thats just tfaa for you

i gave up on trying to make base gammas winter trees and bushes work, theyre awful and ugly and alias and shimmer like crazy. No amount of AA can save them theyre just ass

installed inverno and because the foliage is thicker and frozen it barely aliases at all anymore and looks great, no aa needed no performance impact and no blur, plus its actually winter now

im on a 1440p screen so i dont need much AA for things other than foliage / trees either

if you couldnt tell, the demand for aa has clearly risen after the 0.9.3 update, most people just want aa because of the ugly shimmering winter foliage, which comes with base gamma now. Kind of an L on groks part ngl, switching the trees and grass / bushes out for different season ones or third party ones like inverno helps a lot

[buoyant wagon]

hallo how can I uninstall reshade? reshade on my machine is fucky as hell

[opaque ravine]

!deshade

[void depot]

@opaque ravine Go to your [Anomaly]\bin folder and delete d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll files

[slate magnet]

https://tenor.com/view/dumb-ding-meme-bike-gif-16911882

[opaque ravine]

what

i cant tell if this is bait or a schizophrenic meltdown

[buoyant wagon]

idk man but i wanna use reshade lol but it just drives my gpu temps too 100c no clue why it causes that

[opaque ravine]

bro is the ceo of building and knocking down strawmen

[opaque ravine]

uhhh

that is not normal lmao

[buoyant wagon]

my gamma runs at 60c with rotten life etc but whenever reshade is enabled it shoots up too 100c and crashes my pc if anyone has any fixes for this im open to it

[opaque ravine]

your GPU temp should NOT be at 100 celsius, even at 100% GPU load

Lmao

[buoyant wagon]

yuh it just skyrockets my temps

[opaque ravine]

Is that overall GPU temp or hotspot / vram?

[buoyant wagon]

hotspot

LMAO

[opaque ravine]

oh

well thats still bad

[buoyant wagon]

yeah def

[opaque ravine]

hotspot should be like 80, 90 at most

[buoyant wagon]

just gave up on reshade

[opaque ravine]

my GPU hotspot goes to 80 at 100% load but never beyond, which is fine

[buoyant wagon]

current temps w gamma

rotten life
emergent zone 2
ccon

The whole shabang

no clue why reshade does it

[opaque ravine]

did you mess up your GPU fan curve or something

[buoyant wagon]

nah thats the odd thing

[opaque ravine]

does your case have proper ventilation

and a proper fan setup

[buoyant wagon]

yep i've done everything

cleaned my pc set the whole fan to run 100% as a test case

shit my gpu still goes to a 100 lol

[opaque ravine]

how high is the load when you enable / play with reshade

100% load?

[buoyant wagon]

i dont remember i was just focused on the temps

don't really want to reinstall it again pc is just gnna crash

[opaque ravine]

well it shouldnt be 100 celsius hotspot even at 100% load

does your card ever get that hot in any other games

sounds like your card is fucked or something not gonna lie

[buoyant wagon]

nah just this specific case w gamma w reshade enabled

[opaque ravine]

thats weird

[buoyant wagon]

no clue what triggered it i slept played it just happened

i tested the reshade on skyrim as well its just on gamma

[opaque ravine]

well have you ever tried a stability test / benchmark on your gpu and checked the temps (torture test, 100% load for a couple minutes or an hour)

[buoyant wagon]

just salty ion have AA but everything else is fine

yep i have

[opaque ravine]

what were the temps like
