As I activated some mods aside from the default 554, I hear the error sound and it boots me back to MO2. Can anyone give me some tips or assistance as to how I can fix this, pretty please?

[urban wing]

has anyone had an issue where if you pick up an item while your headlamp is on, the light from the headlamp sticks to the surrounding surface of where you picked up said item?

you can even move it around, but it wont stay on your character.

[gloomy fox]

I have frosty weapon pack too. I am getting on cordon and I don't know what is this

[urban wing]

i think its looking for a weapon kit that doesn't exist maybe

https://youtu.be/NCHcHe7r3Xg?si=_Wo2piFBJbdvZAMK

^ please take a look at this, if anybody has any words of advice or info on this would be much appreciated

[quiet tangle]

@urban wing
Go to Mod Configuration Menu > FDDA Redone > Item Pickup > disable Attach item to hand

[urban wing]

oh my god

is that whats causing it..?? this whole time?

wow.

thank you so much @drifting magnet really appreciate the help

[gloomy fox]

I hope I can fix mine too

[urban wing]

@drifting magnet do you know what the root cause of this issue is? my friend says he keeps the attach item to hand thing enabled and he has no issues

[molten turtle]

New version of modded exes mb fix it

[urban wing]

hmm

i believe mine is the most updated version.. but im not sure. im using someone elses modpack actually, just tinkering it to my liking

[delicate sorrel]

That's missing grass textures, so I have been told. CCon overgrown is the culprit.

cant play on dx11 (the game crashes) i dont remember who said that

i cant send it because its empty

thats the same problem i had

[spiral flume]

Are any of these mods causing Old ammo to spawn?

Old Ammo spawning here, its unchecked in ZCP

[drifting magnet]

its ok

its good old ammo

[spiral flume]

Its not the old-old ammo? That degrades your weapon quickly and does less damage?

[limber sky]

I'm getting black patches of grass, camo netting & fences. I turn off nitpickers texture mod & bug still persists.

[lilac sorrel]

i have the temp health disable with the mod for BHS but when i heal in game i still have temp health, yes ive clicked the button in the MCM under BHS

[smoky fern]

hello guys i need help because i just reinstall gamma and aded just the mod on the extra section but i get this crash (also 3DDs aint woarking) any solution?

[hybrid coral]

I've already made the !noscope thing but does not fixed de PU SCOPE bug, anybody can help?

[fast linden]

I noticed that when I use the keybind for switching between the scope and ironsights (V), it only works for one cycle of scope > ironsights > scope before the keybind ceases to do anything. Taking the scope off and on lets me cycle again as above before it stops working again. Below are the mods I have in addition to baseline GAMMA:

Modular Attachment System
Modular Attachment System for Gamma
Pizza's Ultimate Sight Selection for Anomaly
Saint's Ka-ching (buy/sell SFX)
Looting Takes Time
RETUNE Ambience Sounds
Immersive Ambience Expansion
Audio Expansion
Weather Expansion
3DSS Binoculars
Hold or Toggle (autowalk and a couple other similar stuff)
Inventory Weight Reborn
Immersive BIOS for Fatal Error
No Laser While ADS
NVG Level Transitions Fix
Persistent Weather
Extra Extra Level Transitions
Tasks Guide Spot
Dynamic Viewmodel
REVISION for Enhanced Visual Awareness and Motion Perception
Demonized Craft from Stashes
GT Urban Tactics
TARP: Tent Apparatus Remains Positioned
Precomputed Gasmask Noise```

As you can see, I don't think I have anything drastic that affects what's going on here. I checked with the mod author for MAS for Gamma and they don't think the mod is responsible for this.

[mint pasture]

disable one by one and test

[digital crow]

any ideas why no enemies seem to have ammo in their mags when I grab them? I'm also using one key weapon controls and the part of it which said enemies should sometimes have ammo in their mags up to 60% based on faction but It doesn't seem to be taking effect?

[fast linden]

Update: I haven't figured it out yet but I have discovered that pressing B to lower your weapon resets the cycle once. Maybe that's related somehow, but none of the mods you see here have anything to do with that

Unless... Maybe it's Dynamic Viewmodel

Which would be sad, but looking at the comments it seems like there's an issue somebody mentioned that sounds similar

But unfortunately, swapping attachments (like a silencer) breaks scopes all together. it doesn't even revert to a regular scope like you said. However, the save and load thing does remedy this.

[rough shale]

Any idea what icon this is?

[last birch]

reinstalled mod 190: screen space shaders 20 to recheck a bunch of the boxes to improve visuals and ever since my game has been crashing on startup, even when I went back and disabled everything I enabled it still crashes

[fast linden]

Removing Dynamic Viewmodel seemingly made the V key do nothing ever now, even after pressing B. Weird

[verbal bay]

Wait that’s in gamma disabled/end of list right?

[last birch]

for me its under the gamma fixes tab

[verbal bay]

!sssupdate // well got confused because its SSS 23 and you wrote 20

[quiet tangle]

@last birch, follow these instructions :

1. Find 190 - Screen Space Shaders 23 - Ascii1457 mod in MO2 (use !mo2search command in https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1012510897136222293 to learn how)
2. Right click on it - Reinstall mod
3. Choose ticks in boxes as on the screenshot
4. Click Ok, then Replace
   ⠀

[last birch]

huh, strange in the modpack it says 20. welp Ill try those instructions

[unborn fossil]

hello, i have an issue with traders, its day 2 im playing on medium progression difficulty and traders havent restocked once except professor sakharov who i hadnt seen before but no other traders have restocked

[last birch]

ok wait this is strange cause on my list I dont have any of the options past the parralax one, should I just remove it and get the mod off of moddb?

mine might just be outdated

[verbal bay]

!sss // huh.. type !backup in #🤖bot-commands to save your settings.

[quiet tangle]

@last birch To reinstall SSS using the GAMMA launcher:

1. Go to your GAMMA\downloads folder and delete ScreenSpaceShaders_Updatex.x.zip
   (x.x. means version number, and yes delete them all if you have multiple of those zip files)
2. Download the mod file from moddb. DO NOT EXTRACT. https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/screen-space-shaders/
3. Place the downloaded file into your GAMMA\downloads folder.
4. Open the GAMMA Launcher, and uncheck/disable these options:

• Check MD5
• Force git download

5. Click "Install / Update G.A.M.M.A."

[verbal bay]

Either install manually or update like this

With the launcher, make sure to place it in the same spot in mo2 if you decide to not use the launcher

Just above/below your current one

[last birch]

on step 4 I unchecked both options and the console is giving me this message

[verbal bay]

!v8 // oh .. yeah

[quiet tangle]

@last birch Update your GAMMA Launcher:

1. Add your GAMMA and Anomaly folders to the Windows Defender exclusions and disable Real-time protection temporarily, before downloading the file.
   You can find these settings here:

Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Manage settings

2. Grab the latest launcher: G.A.M.M.A. Launcher v8.3 (mediafire link)
3. Extract everything from the archive, into the your GAMMA folder/.Grok's Modpack Installer folder
4. Launch the G.A.M.M.A. Launcher.exe with Admin Rights and either:

Follow the instructions from a Helper that is helping you.
OR
Press Install/Update G.A.M.M.A without disabling anything.
⠀

[verbal bay]

Beware that it may screw your old save file

[last birch]

should I make a copy of my save file and put it somewhere safe?

[verbal bay]

No I mean because you are running an older version of gamma :)

[last birch]

ohh, okay

[verbal bay]

We do have older save fixes but they can be wonky

[last birch]

if its too beyond repair Ill just start a new save and debug all my old gear into my inventory

[verbal bay]

Like I said you can also just install it manually with mo2… or leave it be and just reinstall your current SSS but without the updates.

Up to you really

[last birch]

Im guessing for step 3 I copy and replace?

[verbal bay]

Take everything out of the Launcher zip and replace all

[last birch]

ok, extracted the zip and now Im dragging the files from it into the groks modpack installer folder

ok so now Im on the launcher, uncheck MD5 and force git download, before reinstalling, then I can go into SSS and recheck everything?

[verbal bay]

You don’t need to recheck everything, launcher installs the correct patches anyway.
They are just not ticked in MO2 whenever you click reinstall.

I should’ve begun with that huh? Fuck sorry

[last birch]

ohh ok so all the shader options are just ticked automatically

[last birch]

I mean when I first came here my game was already fucked anyways so wouldn't rly make a difference

[verbal bay]

Basically, the launcher just does the installation instead of mo2 so it doesn’t show the checkboxes when clicking reinstall.

[last birch]

also is the update supposed to be really long? not complaining just curious

[verbal bay]

Launcher is probably downloading the missing mods.

[manic musk]

anyone know how to fix the bugged "Find missing duty soldier" bug in truck cemetery? I can't find the task id

[verbal bay]

Oof I missed something: should probably do the full update , meaning pressing install/update without disabling anything.

#📢announcements message

[last birch]

oh uhh Im already like a forth through, will quitting the update this far through to restart cause any issues?

[verbal bay]

Should not, restarting the launcher then will check every mod anyway.

If it’s broken, outdated etc.

[last birch]

alrighty then, just restarted with all boxes ticked

[slim cypress]

when i take the artifact quest form fanatic i don't get a lead container

idk what to do

[verbal bay]

Quick note : leave your game at default first, make sure you have #📍577-mods-in-mo2, have no red X (maybe will have 1 in disabled can ignore) ,make sure you can start a new game without issues.

After that you can install custom mods

[last birch]

ok sounds good

[verbal bay]

Ask in #╟🔰☢newbies-chat for gameplay related stuff

(Just talk to him again, containers were removed)

[verbal bay]

You sure they don’t restock?
Otherwise would need your modlist (can’t take a look now will do later whenever I am home)

[verbal bay]

Oh right and just ask in #🔨base-gamma-support if you should have issues like missing or broken mods.

As long as you don’t install custom stuff , you get help faster there

[last birch]

yeah if so I will, I always go here for my support cause well, the obvious

@last birch 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.

I recently added KVMA Hd models to gamma and disabled the mods needed. But my numbers for resistances and the hunger/thrist/sleep have vanished. Anyone by chance able to help?

[verbal bay]

Empty stacktrace.. but you can try disabling these mods :

• Daimenex's Quick Melee Fixes
• Female Player Voice
• QuickActionWheel
  Also doublecheck the instructions for KVMA here in the thread and/or on the moddb site -> https://discord.com/channels/912320241713958912/1335514942329192468

[verbal bay]

I also do not know what Stick_Grenades, Saints_Ka, hev_mod_v, HFX_v are..
IF Exo servo sounds is Exo servo motor sound by harukai sai turn that off too, its already in gamma by default.

Use this for female voice/hand pack #1409748408003989565

[last birch]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/saints-ka-ching-trading-sounds this is saints ka
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/hev-functionality-for-exosuits this is hev mod Im pretty sure
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/stick-grenade-v2-weight-throw-range-rus-patch pretty sure this is the stick grenade mod I use
https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/hollywoodfx3 this is hfx

stick grenades mod basically just adds these to the game

[ebon hearth]

Hi folks, I found out that the Barrett M98B gunshot doesn't play when firing. Is there a fix for this, or a way to report it to the author of the mod?

I also got the latest files of GIMP, 3DSS and Oleh's Weapon Sound Tweaks.

If it also helps, this only occurs when you have a suppressor for the sniper.

[versed juniper]

Did you ever find a fix I have the same issue, seems related to the food item bug some specific encoding gets messed up by LASS

If you want to play with DX8 or DX9, follow this guide: #╭📖faq message

where can i adjust the defend the barrier mission again? i remember there being a way to do it

!nvg

[quiet tangle]

Having trouble toggling on your Night Vision Goggles?:

• Are you on DX11?
  • If YES, make sure you have NVGs equipped (not just the headlamp) and you're holding your NVG toggle key (N by default).
    - Deleting the shaders_cache folder in [Anomaly]/appdata can help.
    - If that doesn't work, type !nvgfix in #🤖bot-commands
• Are you on DX8 or DX9 instead?
  • Type !dx8 or !dx9 into #🤖bot-commands, Beef's NVG won't work on DirectX versions under 11.

[timid lark]

@tropic kite I've created a new game as a Merc. Dead city loaded + I tried going to limansk then back to dead city successfully. Seems the problem is with the save file. Any ideas how I can fix it? Additionally I can add that I have a base in dead city with furniture, chest, freezer, lamp and etc.. Don't know if this could be the issue

[tropic kite]

that's the problem - the older the save is, the more Things That Could Go Wrong multiply

at that point i legitimately would write off that save

it's just not feasible to pin down what's causing the crash

could be NPCs (though unlikely), could be an issue w/ the map, an issue with a changed texture in the map, an issue with literally ANY item in any of the stashes you have

and there's no way to pin it down since the log is empty/gives only a human-unreadable error

[timid lark]

When I started playing yesterday the last save was from December. Dunno if Project inverno could've fucked up the saves. I've been to Pripyat, Outskirts, Jupiter, Limansk, Zaton and now trying Dead city since installing again. I feel sad writing off the save since I'm like geared a lot.

[tropic kite]

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.

[upbeat frigate]

I occasionally get this crash. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I can't find the string "stalker_names_d_isg_private" in any of the referenced scripts.

[drifting magnet]

is this warfare

you have a bunch of bad errors

[upbeat frigate]

Not warfare, just normal playthrough. Happened once in Truck Cemetary, and then in Rostok. I wasn't doing anything in particular. Both time the error was identical. It seems like A-Life is spawning an ISG squad offline (ISG never spawns in Rostok in GAMMA).

[whole sundial]

?

is this an ingame thing or a actual error?

[upbeat frigate]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/fatal-error-by-ncenka

[tropic kite]

either you added the "break your PDA" mod (linked above), OR you turned on the "PDAs break" checkbox in ZCP. In MCM -> ZCP -> Main -> disable “Broken PDA” option

[drifting magnet]

do you have a lot of mods

[upbeat frigate]

643 total, mostly mainstream mods like latest SSS, CCon, FWP. I'm trying to isolate it now. It appears like it might be related to Dux's Innemurable Character Kit

[drifting magnet]

you can send your modlist here

[drifting magnet]

disable duty expansion hd models and try again

you have duty expansion itself unticked tho??

[tropic kite]

FYI gamma already has the latest (public) version of SSS, camo net fix, DNPCAV, Interaction Dot Marks

[drifting magnet]

yeah and a lot of redundancy on top of that

[upbeat frigate]

I think I found the issue. D.I.C.K female expansion is not compatible with current D.I.C.K.

SSS Alpha with DLSS from Patreon Discord. I may have reinstalled the v23 when troubleshooting another issue.

Dot marks 1.6 was newer than the GAMMA version I had.

D.I.C.K. female expansion, last page of the comments on ModDB, someone has almost the exact same error

[drifting magnet]

sorry i overlooked it, why did you put it there

and yeah it doesnt work and lass population either crashes often

[upbeat frigate]

I mean, it works. Plenty of female stalkers in the population with the mod enabled. But it apparently tries to generate female ISG stalkers that don't exist.

[drifting magnet]

you can try and delete that part of scripts but it may make isg to not spawn at all

unlikely tho

[fast linden]

I'm assuming the reason DotMarks is disabled by default is that it sometimes stops working (fixed on reloading) and displays a white rectangular box in the top left when a companion is too close to you from behind?

[drifting magnet]

mostly because of fps drops but thats kinda fixed with newer version from moddb, idk if gamma uses the one from there

[hasty sparrow]

The Steyr Scout has a mostly occluded reticle for me regardless of zoom. And it's off center lol. Any fixes for this?

[turbid hawk]

i still have the same issue

[drifting magnet]

did you reinstall sss, atmos or smth

[drifting magnet]

try disabling shadow in scopes in mcm 3dss

[hasty sparrow]

That done the trick it did

[drifting magnet]

do you have latest 3dss?

[hasty sparrow]

Pretty sure I do. I did a fresh install only about 2 weeks ago.

[drifting magnet]

it updated on 17th jan

[hasty sparrow]

loool I just checked my download date for gamma and it's the 16th

I was too eager for I had to claim my prize too soon. And inferior this prize was...for it was flawed. Unusable detritus.

[turbid hawk]

fixed it apparently graphics settings are just buns

[unborn fossil]

can anybody help me ? ive started a new game as clear sky on medium difficulty (gameplay and progression) i bought some stuff from the trader, none of the traders are restocking and its been 2 ingame days

[random forum]

Is this correct LR for 3dss?

[cyan owl]

I've run into an issue where I started a playthrough, but can't put on any clothes...

I am nto quite sure why

saving crashes the game

Here's the list of custom mods if it helps, but I don't see anything that would specifically cause this.

It also was not an issue before I ended the playthrough and it happens specifically with UNISG?

if anyone knows something, please tell me

[tropic kite]

what's your character's name

[cyan owl]

keltec

[tropic kite]

no quote marks? no punctuation?

[drifting magnet]

shat is armor related mod yeah?

[tropic kite]

it is

[tropic kite]

!crash // also, post the crash log

[quiet tangle]

@cyan owl, send the log to the chat where you were asked for it.
Open your Anomaly/appdata/logs folder and send your xray_[username] text file (.log) here. (image for reference below)
Note: log file is overwritten on each game launch, send it right after the crash ⠀

[cyan owl]

nope

It is a mod most likely, just idk which one

so im slowly going one by one, but let me get the crash dump in case one of ya'll can read those

-# cuz I cant read those for shit

[drifting magnet]

kinda imagining it after your trigger

[cyan owl]

frankly I dont see anything that insane

[tropic kite]

that's because it didn't crash. this shut down normally

[cyan owl]

Yeah... the thing is I cant get it to crash from wearing clothes

[tropic kite]

in addition to that, the game actually managed to make normal saves (there's at least one logged autosave being made)

[cyan owl]

I just cant wear em is all.

[tropic kite]

so somehow i don't think saving is crashing your game

[drifting magnet]

do you see a bunch of bhsro/fdda related nils

should i blame klondaik at this point as always

[tropic kite]

let's go with "yes"

i generally don't care about the nil errors since they're not directly making you crash out

[cyan owl]

so I can put on clothes... when I turn off these

so chances are... it was the masks somehow

[charred gust]

Can someone explain why do i have a black grid on my sight, and is it possible to remove it?

[drifting magnet]

did you have toxic air before then uninstalled it?

[cyan owl]

No... I think I found the issue

Cuz my 900 mod be... overwritten by drunks armor exchange

So chances are... it was that.

[unborn fossil]

can anybody help me ? ive started a new game as clear sky on medium difficulty (gameplay and progression) i bought some stuff from the trader, none of the traders are restocking and its been 2 ingame days

[cyan owl]

Well I somehow crashed it by saving after failing to equip items...

[cyan owl]

it takes 3-4 sometimes

[drifting magnet]

wrong file

[cyan owl]

oh shit mem dump

[cyan owl]

yeet

[drifting magnet]

thats after disabling darkasleif armor exchange?

[cyan owl]

I only disabled Drunks armor exchange

the proper one should still be up.

[drifting magnet]

try vice versa

[unborn fossil]

I also have issues with quests, everytime i take cold blooded betrayal quests from sidorovich the quest fails as soon as i arrive on the level the quest is located, so if the quest is in truck cemetery and i go over there the quest fails

[cyan owl]

I kinda did, no dice. gonna kill masks and see if that helps

All I can do now is go 1 by 1 tbh

[drifting magnet]

i cant really peek into your mods gamedata folder so you have to check yourself

just disable miserable masks v3

i believe you are having version from modposting and moddb at once?

[gilded obsidian]

help my game is crashing on the loading screen

and it says to check my log

[cyan owl]

killing the masks fixed it

[gilded obsidian]

can sm1 help

[drifting magnet]

do you have fwp?

[gilded obsidian]

[drifting magnet]

[unborn fossil]

aight thx

[unborn fossil]

564

[drifting magnet]

is there any flags besides fdda by kute?

[unborn fossil]

doesnt seem like it

[drifting magnet]

its launcher version not gammas itself

[drifting magnet]

then dont tick pre 094 saves fix

[unborn fossil]

alr

well lets hope it fixed it

[sand shell]

what if i cant play on dx11 and my log file is empty?

[unborn fossil]

well if you have AVX CPU on and cant launch the game try ticking it off in the launcher

it fixed it for me

[sand shell]

nope

[sand shell]

i have tried everything

[unborn fossil]

well ig just wait for a helper to answer your distress call they'll fix it in no time

[sand shell]

[sand shell]

i have asked for help for 3 months

[unborn fossil]

well just dont play on DX11 i guess

[drifting magnet]

[cyan owl]

@drifting magnet turns out the blame was solely on siski v0.6

Idk why or how, but it seems the A-Life scripts broke some stuff

[ebon hearth]

Hmm interesting. So maybe I installed an old version of the mod somehow? I did pull it from your github page if I remember right.

But you said it is on the GAMMA repo. I'm trying to download the zip for the repo and see if that doesn't fix it.

[tiny zinc]

it's a typo in my mod, I'll upload an update

[ebon hearth]

Oh sweet! Thank you dude.

Once you have it uploaded I'll download it right away and let you know if it works. 😄

[drifting magnet]

it cant be it

unless authors brain is smooth

anyway alife shit like siski, reznya or other russian goofy name mods are unstable

[cyan owl]

I imagine so didn't have issues with it before... But that was mid game addition.

Maybe it just causes issues on new saves

Still better than the one where AIs did their best to be aware of anomaly fields and just got stuck and fought air.

Then melted by stepping into them anyways

[drifting magnet]

didnt happen to me with that mod you are describing

[cyan owl]

Odd, removing it solved the issue for me tho... So hey, ig it could just fight some other script.

[plush raptor]

Having massive fps issues with warfare.. Like within 10 minutes of a new session. anyone got ideas. I started as unisg and its spawned like 30 soldiers in that time and all warfare settings are unchanged currently

[cyan owl]

That's just warfare tbh...

I don't think you can solve the mass spawn lag without lowering the numbers manually, but then it becomes boring.

[verbal bay]

!warfare

[quiet tangle]

@plush raptor
G.A.M.M.A. isn't built with Warfare in mind, and Warfare is known for bad performance, bugs, and various issues, which is why it is not recommended.

You are free to play it if you wish, but please understand that support for Warfare-related issues will not be provided in our support channels.

[drifting magnet]

you would need multithread for that

[plush raptor]

any ideas on what could make thigns a tad more chaotic without warfare?

[drifting magnet]

try pre release demonizeds or experimental monolith

you can step up the spawns in mcm zcp

warfare DO work tho

alao helps too maybe

i play only warfare

[plush raptor]

Is alao a simple setup or do i need to tweak? I just checked my zcp was 1 instead of the default so its probably the cause for the silly amount of enemies

[drifting magnet]

you would need to tweak alife for warfare

alao is simple if you know python

there is a newbie guide on it too tho iirc

its hard tho to solve warfare issues since it works on my machine nicely and i wouldnt really have access to your files to troubleshoot

so kinda modding experience overall is needed

[cyan bluff]

Anyone have any touching advice on how to remedy this? Has happened many times and only seems to occur when I bring out the AEK into my hands from my inventory 🙁

[drifting magnet]

do you have aek kit mod

if no then update 3dssg

[cyan bluff]

If it is not in base gamma then no. Where would I look to see if it is perhaps enabled? Just search it in MO2? Just in case, how does one go about updating 3dssg if the AEK mod thing is not the problem?

[drifting magnet]

!3dss

[quiet tangle]

@cyan bluff
Having troubles with 3DSS mod download or the mod itself is busted?

1. Download the mod manually from this link
2. Place it into [Your Gamma]\downloads folder, replace if needed.
3. Open Gamma Launcher and press Install/Update GAMMA

IF it's your first installation, leave all boxes CHECKED.
If your mod is busted, UNTICK Check MD5 and Force git download (OR follow instructions provided by a Helper)

4. Wait for the install to end.

[drifting magnet]

or manually by yourself through mo2

[cyan bluff]

What mod in gamma do I replace to do so manually

[supple rover]

do I have to disable anything after enablind C CON grass?

No, just clear shader cache iirc

uhhhhhhhhhhhh

just entered jupiter from pripyat

hey ive got a problem with gamma, as soon as i equip my backpack, the game crashes. someone know why or how to fix it?

"wahhh i dont like toxic air its too hard"
heres how to adjust air toxicity for every level (because you cant in the mcm)
done on toxic air version: Toxic Air v2.0 REDUX by Priler

[yapyapyap. this guide is meant for people who want to enjoy air toxicity for underground only, want to enjoy 'radioactive air' mask filters without the toxicity, enjoy overground air but want to maximize your hideout experience, etc. this guide is meant to be as simple as possible, so no "am i gonna break it" is possible if you follow closely. this guide is meant for windows users, i assume there will be common sense alternatives for other OS users. yapyapyap]

first open MO2. find your 'toxic_air_v', right click it and find "open in explorer". go to gamedata> scripts> toxic_air.script
open toxic_air.script with notepad. press "ctrl" and "f" on your keyboard at the same time (ctrl+f). a search box will open.

to find the commonly known names for the levels scroll down to the section just under local toxic_level, and find "-- Display names for levels (used in item descriptions)" (good to know because cordon is called 101_escape, and so on) ALSO, "106_rostok" IS NOT ROSTOK, 106_rostok IS WILD TERRITORY. 105_bar IS ROSTOK!!!!

Adjust toxic air by level.
type "local toxic_level" then hit the button that says "find next". to adjust the air toxicity in each individual level, find the level name and the " = number," to the right of it.
change the number to set the level's air toxicity, this does NOT effect the radiation levels. make sure you arent accidentally changing the wrong one. be sure not to change anything else.
the number should look something like this when youre done with it: = 0.05,

• no toxicity; = 0,
• about 44 irl minutes to lose health from full to dead without any protection; = 0.055,
• medium toxicity; = 0.25,
• high toxicity; = 0.5,
• maximum toxicity; = 1.0,
  PRESS "ctrl" AND "S" AT THE SAME TIME TO SAVE YOUR SETTINGS. (ctrl+s)

(if you delete a little bit of the gap between the level name and the number it should be fine, just try not to.)

Adjust proximity of clean air around safezones.
safezones are also adjustable, allowing you to expand or shrink the radius of breathable air around a safezone.
to find it, open up the find box again (ctrl+f) and type "local safe_smart_radius"
the numbers in this section represent the safezone breathable air radius, NOT the toxicity level. the safezones are listed by level but i have no guide to which safezone is which. you will have to figure out which is which for yourself. i recommend increasing all of these by about 20 to 25, as there are many spots where it feels like toxic air is 'leaking' inside, making some safezone hideouts half unlivable.
PRESS "ctrl" AND "S" AT THE SAME TIME TO SAVE YOUR SETTINGS. (ctrl+s)

thank you Drunk, bvcx, Breaker_Oak, and Priler for your continuously impressive mods. <3

if you have any problems, questions, or issues (ESPECIALLY GAME BREAKING ISSUES) regarding this guide please let me know.
i have NOT tried this on any other version of toxic air, please be careful doing this on other versions.
tested on a heavily modded GAMMA pack.

search tags:
toxic air no toxic
no surface toxic
filters only
underground toxic
above ground toxic
radioactive air filter only
under ground toxic
filter only
radioactive air no toxic

[signal crescent]

After adding a few mods on my own, I now receive this popup when I start MO but I'm not sure what it means or what the correct button to press would be.
I've just been ignoring the window up to now lol

Any insight?

[lime vigil]

just hit no dont ask again

thats for nexus mods

[frail needle]

I have this too, is there anyway to fix this? It completely breaks the game immersion. People said it was from HD models, but I can see you're not using it and still have the issue.

[random forum]

No idea

[signal crescent]

I can't see how this would be related, but after selecting No, Dont ask again I've booted in to my game and all of my HP stats are messed up.
Is there a separately known fix for this bug that you are aware of?

I've been playing this save file for a good 10 hours or so with no issue otherwise.

[lime vigil]

does pressing H fix this?

!busyhands otherwise its this probably

[quiet tangle]

@lime vigil "Busyhands" is the name of a bug that softlocks your game by preventing you from performing basic game functions, common signs include:

• Broken health HUD (all red)
• Can't do any animated actions (use meds, eat food)
• Crashing on area transition
• Can't open inventory
  Highly recommend turn on 412- Busyhands Detection and Blame - RavenAscendant mod to detect if it is really busy hands, and if so then which script caused it. Also keep it on to prevent further long term busy hands that make you lost a lot of progress. Noted that it can't 100% detect all busy hands, so common sense is still the best way

If you have it, reload an older save. Eventually this may not work anymore, you'll be in permanent busy hands, then it's time to start a new game. Read more here: #╭📖faq message

[signal crescent]

H unfortunately does not fix.
But I am currently able to use meds, eat drink, will try to transition.

Shame. This run was going so well lol

[lime vigil]

you can fix it yourself if you learn how to use https://www.moddb.com/mods/stalker-anomaly/addons/draggable-hud-editor/
or I can upload my edits

well that mod not required, just makes it easier. there's a debug weapon hud editor

[signal crescent]

sleeping, enabling 412, and reloading save fixed the issue.
We'll see how long it lasts.

Thanks for the help 🙂

[frail needle]

There is evidence of this issue back to 2024, so it is not something new. There is something triggering it but there is no known source so far. But it is not related to HD models as people have been saying. Some mod that is in base game since 2024 might be causing it.

There is evidence of this issue back to 2024, so it is not something new. There is something triggering it but there is no known source so far. But it is not related to HD models as people have been saying. Some mod that is in base gamma since 2024 might be causing it.

[lime vigil]

only mod I found in base gamma that changes weapon world positions is Frosty's NPC Weapons Reposition

[frail needle]

His weapons are everywhere now, there is probably a leftover file. I've seen it happening on several guns. It is not isolated

[frail needle]

Regarding the fix, if I use draggable HUD editor isn't it to fix the positioning for me? Would it extend for NPCs as well? Because the weird positioning doesn't help with me, I tested the kiparis and it is alright in my HUD.

[lime vigil]

you need to select Switch person mode to see world position

and then after you're done, hit Apply. the values are saved in Anomaly\gamedata\configs\cache_dbg.ltx

[frail needle]

I might get around learning it then. Thanks for letting me know.

[lime vigil]

i'll upload my changes anyways in case you don't want to go through the trouble. only went through 40 guns atm, but i'll probably check them all at some point (except for debug only guns fk that)

Hello yall,
I got the part where i find the Guass Gun and when i try to pull it out, game crashes and i get this message any idea on how to solve this?

There was a fix for this before but the issue was happening with someone else when there was an NPC using a Saiga

I am updating GAMMA hoping it willl fix it, someone did have this issue before, but i can't find the Gauss Fix file to manually do it

[lime vigil]

!gausstemp here's the short fix

[quiet tangle]

@bold veldt
If you crash with: section wpn_gauss_hud model dynamics\weapons\wpn_gauss\wpn_gauss_hud Do the following: #🔨base-gamma-support message

[lime vigil]

!3dss but updating to new 3dss version is the better fix

[quiet tangle]

@bold veldt
Having troubles with 3DSS mod download or the mod itself is busted?

1. Download the mod manually from this link
2. Place it into [Your Gamma]\downloads folder, replace if needed.
3. Open Gamma Launcher and press Install/Update GAMMA

IF it's your first installation, leave all boxes CHECKED.
If your mod is busted, UNTICK Check MD5 and Force git download (OR follow instructions provided by a Helper)

4. Wait for the install to end.

[bold veldt]

Thank you, will try this after done with updating game!

[deep barn]

having a bit of trouble installing the new levels mod

[verbal bay]

Broken archive? Is that on a external drive? gamma/mo2 doesn´t like that.

[deep barn]

i got told to download and just chuck it in mo2

no pop ups about selecting stuff

[verbal bay]

I mean it could be that your download corrupted.

[tacit minnow]

so whats the deal with the PDA task showing an error and a thing that says "GL finding me"

[olive berry]

FWP?

[olive berry]

you can't just turn off 2 shader mods. you need to reinstall a lot of mods in the modlist since they depend on those

[marsh river]

well you can also use dx8/9 modlist on dx11, thats also disable sss and a lot of other shader stuff, if you want performance but follow #╰⚡fps-optimisation first then try that

[marble comet]

Thank you, figured it out by scrolling through problems other ppl faced

2. Uncheck every box EXCEPT Delete Reshade DLLs
3. Click on Install / Update G.A.M.M.A

mid playthrough

but im going to restart tho

thanks for the heads up

[hidden acorn]

Thats why you crash! KVMA HD need a NEW SAVE. You disabled DICK armors mid playthrough and the npc spawn with DICK armors but DICK armors are disables so the game crash

[gilded obsidian]

so how do i fix this

[hidden acorn]

Remove KVMA, re-enable DICK and te rest of the mods you diabled for KVMA and go to the SAVE before you installed KVMA

[gilded obsidian]

then how do i play with kvma

shld i delete my saved games, idc abt them

[hidden acorn]

Start a NEW GAME only with KVMA

[gilded obsidian]

no other mods

?

[hidden acorn]

Only KVMA, not 29- Dux's Innemurable Characters Kit - DuxFortis

I'm gonna throw this one out there on the 1% chance that anyone has a clue what this is while I continue figuring it out, but for some reason my knife makes zero noise when slicing into enemies, except for when it's against psuedogiants, which plays the slashing sound just fine.

[quiet herald]

Anybody heard of a cause for this?
Keeps crashing inconsistent of added mods / restored user.ltx.
But adding mods seems to make it worse and replacing the ltx seems to make it better up until a point of no return

[drifting magnet]

does it throw missing .ogg logs in console

you describing it is so odd

especially pseudogiant part

what engine?

[barren walrus]

It doesn't, and that's the weird thing. I have isolated it as something in the sound folder of the Dark Signal mod, and not a script (which makes it extra surprising given the strange behavior of certain mutants still retaining knife hit sounds). I'm on the newest demonized EXEs with the alternative DLTX refractor though I don't think it's relevant, since I had been dealing with this issue even before I switched.

My first 2 suspect sound folders was for gamedata\sounds\material\knife, particularly the flesh-0X.ogg files. And also the gamedata\sounds\monsters\flesh flesh_attack_hit_0.ogg and flesh_attack_hit_1.ogg

Somehow, these were not the culprits

[blissful ember]

@hexed heron Do you have any modules for FDDA redone? Like strict helmets busyhands fix, or anything like that?

[hexed heron]

I don't believe so no. I just downloaded from gog and added some of clickrad's texture add-ons.

[barren walrus]

I got mine off moddb the ol fashion way. I assume GOG still has the mod manager and everything?

[hexed heron]

I got tired of the old process and made the swap. You can still access everything the same.

[barren walrus]

Weird. Well, I tried to see if I could anger FDDA Redone by not enabling the original FDDA or FDDA enhanced and eating a sausage, but got nothing. It didn't even play an animation at all, let alone crash.

[verbal bay]

Maybe custom mod shenanigans or gog forgot some files again/messed them up

[barren walrus]

Yeah I was gonna say maybe just re-install FDDA Redone

[hexed heron]

Will do thank you both.

[barren walrus]

And maybe FDDA Enhanced, I think that has the new sausage model

Your base FDDA should be fine cause you managed to trigger an animation event at all

[verbal bay]

Would take a look at your modlist but can’t right now .. also ANOTHER one that has problems after following a clikrad video

[drifting magnet]

how did they even conflict

[barren walrus]

Then again I just found out that the knife melee uses grass step sounds so you're really on your toes around here

[drifting magnet]

or you triggered them at the same time?

[barren walrus]

No conflicts, the sound file was just 1 second of blank audio, theoretically on purpose

Why? No idea. It seems, though, that stalker truly uses """grass footsteps""" as names for the knife sounds.

At least for 99% of knifeable fleshy objects. Chimeras and Lurkers get their own melee sound......... god I love X-Ray

[drifting magnet]

i've seen too many olehs mod issues recently

not accusing 👀

[hexed heron]

I guess I can't help it. I followed step by step and something still breaks. The Zone hates me ig lol.

[drifting magnet]

do you have western goods?

[barren walrus]

I wouldn't even blame him if it's a mistake on his part. This beast of an engine is fucking untameable. God bless our engine experts who have the patience and knowledge to deal with it all.

[verbal bay]

Or clikrads tutorials are shit , since so many people have issues after following his

[drifting magnet]

mostly player skill issue

his tutorials refer to moddbs anyway and these mods do work and do not conflict

you would have seen more cursed modlists of russian youtubers/repackers if you were in russian support 💀

thing is that bad that we just refuse to help at that point

[barren walrus]

oh btw if anyone is having troubles with psuedogiants not having ground slam sound effects, and you use audio expansion (which requires you to turn off Oleh's miscellaneous), then be sure to take the slam sound from Oleh's mod and slap it into audio expansion (if it's silent)

gamedata\sounds\monsters\giant\giant_slam.ogg

[verbal bay]

Honestly just shit talking, never watched his stuff, is just funny to me.
Couple months back there were at least 2-3 people a day having issues after following his vids

[hexed heron]

sheesh

[drifting magnet]

works on my machine

[verbal bay]

Since then I will always make fun of it

[drifting magnet]

it is already getting outdated slightly...

do you wanna take a peek at russian youtubers modlists

[verbal bay]

Did you report that in the thread for audio expansion?
Anyway thanks for the info

[barren walrus]

Idk if it's really an audio expansion problem as much as it is the giant slam sound just... not existing? or being replaced with some blank audio... actually I'm gonna find this out right now

[verbal bay]

[barren walrus]

marked one what da hell!!!..... it's literally only in oleh's and audio expansion

[verbal bay]

Honestly I probably don’t even want to know, I saw some bad shit already

[barren walrus]

It has to not be in base Anomaly, then, cause all Oleh's did was add an actual sound to the giant slam, and then I moved that sound to my audio expansion folder so now the giant has sounds again

[drifting magnet]

olehs mod works flawlessly on base gamma tho

[barren walrus]

I'll put it in audio expansion thread just so that slam sound can come with the install instead of this cross-mod custom rigmarole

[drifting magnet]

so if anyone installs anything above it should understand modding

[barren walrus]

right, yeah. I mean, the giant slam has no sounds to begin with, then Oleh's mod adds it back in, but if you get Audio Expansion you need to turn Oleh's off, but that same sound is not included with Audio Expansion so it just becomes silent again

[drifting magnet]

its not included or is blank .ogg?

[barren walrus]

The ground slam? I'm not sure, I didn't check at the time if there was a invalid/missing .ogg comment

The point is, it doesn't play, and with Oleh's sound file it does

At least the patch is easy. just drag n drop oleh's ground slam sound into whatever mod you want it to be active in and voila

[cedar hound]

hey all, does someone know a fix for this?

[drifting magnet]

you are trying to load a save where you had different models mod

cuz it says to you that it cant find mercenary

[cedar hound]

the only mod i changed in my list was that i moved up KVMA above the GAMMA icons

[verbal bay]

Then change it back?
Should leave your custom mods at the end of your list anyway if it isn’t specified otherwise

But probably your game crashes because you didn’t follow the instructions correctly.

Didn’t start a new game/didn’t deactivate the mods you need to unless .. gamma icons probably searches for models from duxs and KVMA overwrites that.

Uh .. haven’t checked how/what/when oh well

[hexed heron]

Tried both and got called fat again

ig i'll do a fresh install after this playthrough

[verbal bay]

Don’t need a fresh install, several things you can try from just setting your settings/modlist to “!default” or iirc “!lam2” was the command to reinstall fdda with the launcher.

Would be nice if I had my pc to check

[drifting magnet]

lam2 is moddb fdda redone 1.4

[hexed heron]

I appreciate it nonetheless, you're the goat

[drifting magnet]

upload your modlist

[verbal bay]

!backup // when in doubt, make a backup and see if default gamma works

I used drifter unbound's video so all of that is backed up

[drifting magnet]

who the fuck

[verbal bay]

Yeah .. no clue either

[drifting magnet]

do you have a youtubers vid for every situatuion

[wind fox]

hi, i haven't been able to launch my game for a little now, this is the error i get, i don't know what i'm doing, any help please?

[drifting magnet]

!k98

[quiet tangle]

@wind fox

1. Go to [YOUR GAMMA FOLDER]\.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches
2. Copy these four folders (check pic)
3. Go to your Anomaly folder
4. Paste these four folders (check pic). Overwrite/replace all if asked
5. Go to your \Anomaly\bin folder and delete d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll files.
   It won't delete your save files. ⠀

[wind fox]

thank you very much

[drifting magnet]

d3d9 and dxgi may be absent or hidden

[hexed heron]

no but if i've been looking into a problem for a bit and can't figure it out/don't wanna screw up catastrophically then I'll search around.

[cedar hound]

hmmm no... bringing down kvma doesnt seem to fix my issue, it seems to crash when i open up my PDA.

[blissful ember]

Small q, I have mags in my loadout (magz mod) but the character refuses to load them, so I have to go into Inventory to manually drag them onto the gun, is this somekind of bug?

[wind fox]

okay so, that fatal error has disappeared, so now when i try to launch the game it seems to register for a moment, but then shut downs right after with no error popup

urrrrrghagghaaa

okay, this is all i have in terms of error logs i guess

[verbal bay]

Does base anomaly run when you launch it from its folder?

[wind fox]

i'll give this a try

yea, that launched fine for me

[cedar hound]

the same only seems t crash when i open up my PDA

[verbal bay]

Has crashes -> installs unsupported engine while having them -> so can’t receive support

[cedar hound]

i took out the engine

I dont use it anymore

[verbal bay]

!crash // Pics or didn’t happen

[quiet tangle]

@cedar hound, send the log to the chat where you were asked for it.
Open your Anomaly/appdata/logs folder and send your xray_[username] text file (.log) here. (image for reference below)
Note: log file is overwritten on each game launch, send it right after the crash ⠀

[drifting magnet]

and modlist

i hope its not cursed

[cedar hound]

uhhh ok? where do i send it to? i was never asked for it

[drifting magnet]

manually reinstall fdda redone prior disabling the old one in gamma

[cedar hound]

thank you for your helpk btw

[drifting magnet]

or reinstall gamma all the way but your own mods will scramble if you didnt save separate mo2 profile

[verbal bay]

!backup // uh okay then make a backup first then type “!default” in #🤖bot-commands , make sure that works

You were sent the command.. meaning you were asked for it..

[hexed heron]

I have a separate profile I just renamed it wrong.

Thanks for all the help

[cedar hound]

right, i understand, I didnt see that message

[drifting magnet]

!lam2 // this is fdda redone btw

[quiet tangle]

@hexed heron

1. Download the mod file from moddb. DO NOT EXTRACT. https://www.moddb.com/addons/start/286029
2. Place every archive you downloaded into \GAMMA\downloads folder. Overwrite if needed.
3. Run the GAMMA Launcher
4. Uncheck/Disable:

• Check MD5
• Force git download

5. Click Install/Update G.A.M.M.A. Let it finish then try to play.

[drifting magnet]

just dont follow the steps below 1.

then place it on the original place of gamma's fdda redone

[hexed heron]

gotcha

[wind fox]

i had this for when i used xbox but was lowkey too lazy to rename it, so i just put any games in there now

[wind fox]

i fear this did not work and i still have the same issue

[verbal bay]

Fuck

[verbal bay]

So you did k98 and default isn’t working either with no crash log…You are trying to launch DX11?

[wind fox]

yea that's correct

[verbal bay]

!crash // you are sure there isn’t anything?

[quiet tangle]

@wind fox, send the log to the chat where you were asked for it.
Open your Anomaly/appdata/logs folder and send your xray_[username] text file (.log) here. (image for reference below)
Note: log file is overwritten on each game launch, send it right after the crash ⠀

[wind fox]

it's been so odd, cause the first day i got the game the only thing i eventually did was add that mod for the photo of an even more loved one, launched it fine that day with the mod, then the next day it just would not open

is this normal?

[verbal bay]

Uhh.. does launching dx9 work at least ?

[drifting magnet]

there is always !dest

[wind fox]

yes, this seems to work

[cedar hound]

here is my current load order

[wind fox]

okay well, tried to load one of my save files, but maybe this is expected if i'm launched it on a 9 instead of 11?

[verbal bay]

!d3d // try any of those and try updating your gpu driver if there is one…not sure about ”!dest” though it could work

[quiet tangle]

@wind fox
If you get the error 1364 "The application made a call that is invalid...", try the following in order until the error is resolved:

1. Try restarting your PC.
2. If restarting your PC does not help, try disabling the applications with overlay (Discord, MSI Afterburner, etc.) as well as applications like Wallpaper Engine etc.
3. Install DirectX libraries (type !deps in #🤖bot-commands )
4. If disabling software does not help, temporarily switch to DirectX 9 (use !dx in #🤖bot-commands for instructions on how to switch).
   After a certain amount of time, you can try to revert the changes and switch to DirectX 11. The bug may be fixed.

[verbal bay]

Yeah, I should’ve specified that I just wanted to know if you get to the menu.

[wind fox]

okay, i'll start giving all that a go, thanks for the help

[verbal bay]

Dx9 is last resort but if none of the things mentioned help then yeah that’s the only option afaik.

Though if you end up on dx9 follow the “!dx” command.

[hexed heron]

Tried that method with no luck. Maybe something went fucky wucky during the gog install/update.

[drifting magnet]

yeah reinstall gamma then

[verbal bay]

!full // just do that

[quiet tangle]

@hexed heron
1. Open your G.A.M.M.A. Launcher as admin;
2. Make sure all 4 checkboxes are enabled;
3. Click Install / Update G.A.M.M.A. and wait for the install process to be done;
4. Open your MO2 and check if you have any red crosses, make sure that you have #📍577-mods-in-mo2.

This procedure does not remove saves, you're not going to re-download everything from scratch and it will not delete your progress, your saves are safe.
The launcher will simply check every mod in the pack, reinstall or fix them if you have red crosses and any mod that need to be updated - will be updated.

• In case you want to save your in-game settings and modlist (because the launcher will revert them back to default), type !backup in #🤖bot-commands.
• If you wish to keep Reshade, disable the last checkbox before clicking Install / Update G.A.M.M.A..

[verbal bay]

And I hope your install isn’t in program files .. forgot if I asked that

[wind fox]

okay it seems i'll have to deal with DX9 for a while but that's okay compared to the game not working at all, so just one last question, which of these should i be using?

[cedar hound]

hey, can you see what i posted above regaurding my issue when you have a chance?

[verbal bay]

!avx // and just in case : try dx11 with/without avx too if you haven’t

[quiet tangle]

@wind fox Actual explanation at the bottom but simply put:

Do you have a good CPU? Use AVX (if you have a crash, it probably means your CPU doesn't support this function).
Do you have a good GPU? DON'T use AVX.
Do you have both? Try for yourself, see what's better.

Actual explanation:
AVX is a way for your CPU to do calculations on a large array of data simultaneously. This is the same kind of job GPUs are primarily meant for.
So if your GPU is decent, AVX is (in most cases) outclassed by the GPU itself. Best way to know which is better for you, personally, is to try both versions and see what does or doesn't crash/performs better.

[verbal bay]

1. Still waiting for proof that you removed forbidden

2. Actually I personally can’t look at mod lists since not on my pc.

[cedar hound]

How can I provide proof? Show you my new .bin folder screen shot?

[drifting magnet]

omfg

[verbal bay]

Upload the log of your game

[cedar hound]

?

[gilded obsidian]

can sm1 help i installed zlm and dissabled zcp but my games crashing

[verbal bay]

!redone

[drifting magnet]

your lootbox mod conflicts with it so you would have to override it as it says in your crash

or just hide one of them via mo2

its nice to see that you actually listened to me and learned load ordering 🥺

[verbal bay]

Guess I shouldn’t do support when tired

[drifting magnet]

one of those .ltxes i meant

[drifting magnet]

resend your modlist withoult altering csv marks

[wind fox]

i mean you helped me out fine, game at least launches and seems to run good now, thank you

that has been a pain in my ass for like a week now ugh

[drifting magnet]

what was it

[verbal bay]

For Lucy?
Good old only dx9 works because 11 crashes without logs.

For no fucking reason

[drifting magnet]

you've sent ?launcher and ?dest?

[verbal bay]

#🔨modded-gamma-support message

[drifting magnet]

try launching anomaly and choosing any other videomode (borderless , etc. ) then launch dx11 again

or change it via user.ltx

[verbal bay]

#🔨modded-gamma-support message

and they did not use the launcher, was my next guess

[cedar hound]

i didnt alter anything, anyways, here is my latest crash log:
and load order, I didnt alter anything, this has all of my active mods (not installed mods)

[wind fox]

no such luck

[cedar hound]

again, game crashes when i open upo my PDA

[drifting magnet]

change your resolution then too

[verbal bay]

#🔨modded-gamma-support message

already answered to your initial message you just didn’t read

[verbal bay]

!disabled // and right should probably read this too

[quiet tangle]

@cedar hound read this: #╭📖faq message

[drifting magnet]

there are so many flaws in your modlist that i would just recommended you to start reading at first and then delete your custom mods and try again

but at this point turn off meatchunk prefetchers

[cedar hound]

ok, thank you

so basically my list is f-ed

[wind fox]

also nothin

[drifting magnet]

did you follow !dest command?

[wind fox]

actually, i accidentally passed over deps, let me give this a try, my mistake

[drifting magnet]

they are two different commands !dest and !deps

[plush raptor]

quicksaves has randomly stopped working . any ideas?

[cedar hound]

lol idk why, but moving down KVMA and disabling meatchunk prefetchersseems to be the magical fix, thank youuu

[verbal bay]

Cause prefetcher only works with base gamma models

[wind fox]

okay wow, that fucking worked, of course i skip over the only thing that fixes it

[verbal bay]

So was it !dest or updating direct x?

[drifting magnet]

they dont work or you crash?

[cedar hound]

ok! so can i safely move back up KVMA, and have it work? safely?

[drifting magnet]

why do you even need kvma that high

[verbal bay]

Why would you even do that?

[cedar hound]

bc its kava-> better textures!!! yay

[drifting magnet]

[cedar hound]

kvma**

[drifting magnet]

sure

[cedar hound]

im such a sucker for textures

[wind fox]

it was the DirectX update
