I'm trying to re-install GAMMA on a fresh Windows 10 installation and having so many problems 😔 First was Windows blocking a .dll, then I get a wacky crash as soon as I try loading into the game with a fresh Stalker. I deleted everything and downloading latest RC3 --- really hope it works!
@@The_Man_In_Red i having the same problem, but i solve it justing updating the gamma launcher the orange buttom and stop crashing after start a new game
The grass shadows switch definitely has an effect on the visuals, and should be compared with it on/off. Also the distant shadow culling's effect is very visible on trees at medium range at sunset or sunrise, it culls the shadow drops on trees and cause shadows to pop-in. About the AO settings: SSDO - Game's own implementation HBAO - Nvidia's HDAO - AMD's If I recall correctly, the SSS mod works better with the SSDO.
Gratz on reaching the 10k subs milestone my man! It's just the beginning bro. Thx for the vid. Damn just saw that you're at 12k ATM. Sky's the limit stalker 😁
Man you saved me. I was turning maximum settings ON with 1070ti. It had 15-20 FPS. Then i set it up step by step with yours, and its FLAWLESS NOW. thxxxxxx
Thank you so much! For me GAMMA was running at 50 FPS & I checked the Reshade Menu and Immersive Anti Aliasing was turned off. After I turned that on, I set Anti-aliasing & SMAA in the ingame settings to off. Now the game runs at 70 FPS 👍
About the "distant shadow culling", if you ever have an issue where you aim down sight and some shadow disappear and appear when not aiming, its this setting. And i also think that its not really cost much performance or too little to notice
for me the problem is whenever I start a fresh game it runs alright but then after a while like maybe 10 ingame days the game starts giving random crashes, stutters, and loss in fps
Got pretty much the same specs as you. However, my frames dip to 50s even low 40s at Rostok and the bandit base with the same settings. I'm assuming you're running with avx on dx11 as well?
One thing about GAMMAs graphics that is killing me is weird/bugged shadows. Shadows in the distance and on the sides of my screen form multiple lines like someone tried shading a drawing. It's somewhat connected to SSS shadows cascades but resseting everything to default doesn't seem to fix it :v
Tune down the interactive grass and you will get some more frames if you are CPU limited. I now I saw about a 4-8fps increase from dropping the max interactions down to 4 instead of 8, and then dropping the interactions distance to 1000. IMO 2000 (and even 1000) is really excessive as most times you wont be able to see that far, so its just wasted performance. Even if you have a pretty beefy CPU I'd still turn it down because with the whole game limited to one core its just adding more work that it has to do and you don't really notice any difference unless you have the grass HUGE and dense.
I just turned off body dot’s on minimap because i thought it was a bit cheaty to see if someone kills something 500 meters away from you. Turns out body dots still show up as long as it’s your kill so i just keep it off from now on
This was one of the things i was looking for. Now just need to know what all settings you have for world spawns and stuff of that nature and I’ll be set
Nice! Thank you. I’ve been fiddling with them and I think I messed them up. Something’s definitely wrong with my game. I’ll try defaulting them and see if that fixes things.
hello, hardcore S.T.A.L.K.E.R. here. i want to ask you, did the rain puddles go away with the new SSS update (version 20).if I switch to SSS 18 it's working, but not on version 20. thanks
If motion blur were implemented well, it'd make a huge improvement to how smooth looking around feels but it's being applied equally everywhere. It needs to exclude your gun and hands and just apply to the environment. Motion blur being crap is a relic from the past. Modern applications are way, way better.
if your playing in 1080p try playing in 1440p i use dsr in the control panel for nvidia and the jagged edges on the trees are more crisp and looks clean
Update your game to the latest version and delete shaders dll as its no longer used and get more fps (also make sure that you have the meat chunk addon enabled)
Yo im wondering how to get my fps in the top right of the screen? I swear it used to be there i cant remember when it disappeared is there a setting for that cuz i cant find it
After the update there is no more reshade I had to reinstall gamma and it didn’t install the reshade which one we should use
The new launcher has a box ticked called reshade you have to reinstall the launcher and turn off the delete reshade box

About the AO settings:
SSDO - Game's own implementation

HDAO - AMD's
If I recall correctly, the SSS mod works better with the SSDO.
FYI, If you are using the SSS, ES or Atmospherics mods. SSDO MUST BE SELECTED or else the shader mods wont work. Regardless of your GPU (AMD, Nvidia).
Dude… thank you for this. I had even installed that on anomaly before and completely forgot. Have been playing with HBAO on.

1070ti and 15-20fps? i'm on gtx 1070 with ryzen 3700x on 3440x1440 monitor and get 40-50fps on extreme settings +
Thanks! Exactly that I was founding with overview of graphical settings especially from MCM menu.

I just had a $2k+ rig built for all of the stalkers. I look forward to the more beauty, aftion, and crashes in higher detail!
First boi
Love the videos mainly the stalker gamma series the main reason I play gamma
for me the problem is whenever I start a fresh game it runs alright but then after a while like maybe 10 ingame days the game starts giving random crashes, stutters, and loss in fps
i love the "am i retarded?" and restarting the pc specs expecting to cut that from the video lol
Will try out exactly your settings, thank you bro!

Try changing the shadow maps in the anomaly launcher
copied this to the T and my god it runs 10X better, thanks heaps man

Great tip, especially for CPU bound, i5 10600kf non oc'd and a rx 6700 XT saw a small bump
Great video, thanks man

Ur welcome!
Hi thanks for the vid. How can I toggle on the fps counter?
hello, hardcore S.T.A.L.K.E.R. here. i want to ask you, did the rain puddles go away with the new SSS update (version 20).if I switch to SSS 18 it's working, but not on version 20. thanks
I have this weird bug when a emission happens the sky still the same no emssion effects happening.
But now gamma doesnt have resahde
reenable through the gamma installer
oh i have no idea, thnks
@@Owlsayhoooot
How do you re- enable reshades?
@@Vegfarmer Reinstall the game, when you are in the Grok launcher make sure the remove shaders .dll option is OFF
How do did you set the shadow map? 1536?

Thanks bru
I don't have SSS settings available in my mod config?
i like gamma very much but after last updates its not starting anymore and keep crask... thats sad and i just uninstaled it... so annoying...
Nice
How do I make the trees not go all squiggly with the small branches and leaves?
if your playing in 1080p try playing in 1440p i use dsr in the control panel for nvidia and the jagged edges on the trees are more crisp and looks clean
I'm having the same issue as well and I don't have a 1440p monitor.
What type of dsr do you use? 2x,4x...? And at what percentage of smoothness?
Update your game to the latest version and delete shaders dll as its no longer used and get more fps (also make sure that you have the meat chunk addon enabled)
Where do I find shades dll?
Isn't meat chunk only for people with lots of ram, 32+ GB?
ur fov is way too high, thats why u have a fisheyelens on the sides of ur screen.
for 1080p i would set it at 75 max.
When next episode
Why did they remove reshade from gamma?
I think they felt it didn’t help enough to make up for the FPS loss, I could be wrong though. You can always add it back in through the launcher
Bro, newest update we can't use reshade setting anymore
when u install gamma unchek delit reshade dll
Yo im wondering how to get my fps in the top right of the screen? I swear it used to be there i cant remember when it disappeared is there a setting for that cuz i cant find it
It’s part of reshade, which gamma disabled in the latest update
@@Qloud7 damn so is there any way to enable it after the update?
@ivanwilcox7350 yes, just do an update for gamma and unselect the bottom box called “delete reshade dll”
@@Qloud7 thank you so much
how much is the size of the mod?
It's 90Gb ish for me, installed few days ago.
I installed it yesterday and in total i downloaded about 50gbs for everything but i swore it shoulve been more
Question, my Specular Gloss Factor is at 0.001 and it says "DON'T TOUCH"
What do I do about that?
Nothing, leave it alone or break the game lol
Can you do a guide on how to fully install GAMMA? thank you
FIRST
can you tell me, please, how to install the reshade? my home key does nothing. so i presume i have to install something. thank you!
You may have to run a gamma update and be sure to uncheck the bottom box saying something ab deleting reshade dll
2080 nothing special? mid tier my ass
Pressing the Home key doesn't bring my menu up does anyone know what the problem might be ?
Uncheck the box “delete reshade dlls” on the launcher
