1:34 I read the patch notes right after waking up and misunderstood that patch, he's nerfing the NPCs with shotguns to prevent you from getting 1 tapped in the head, not OUR shotguns.
3:30 i dont like the NVG changes either, but getting them curves nighttime difficulty significantly and doubles your available Stalkin' time. i think grok loves the grind
Honestly looking at it the crafting change isn't that bad it just requires alot of electrical crafting parts, but if you dismantle PDA's and such getting them ain't that bad, only big change it it now requires a headlamp to craft the tier one's , it takes a bit longer to get them sure but its not that huge of a significant change, so getting them for the miracle machine wouldn't be impossible as things are readily available still.
I didn’t update to the new patch yet and ran brain scorcher today. The spawns in your run look 90% the same as mine were, I just had mono spawn on the road coming from warehouse (like you mentioned there should be). Sometimes after reloading a quick save the AI would really switch up their tactics, but in general they were very agressive
It’s weird because in all my previous playthroughs the AI would always do the exact same things while inside the Lab. You can even check my old playthrough on the channel so idk why they were so aggressive.
I find the new update performance so much better than before, I don't know why. Before the letter 9.3 update, I tend to tweak SSS and graphics alot to get decent fps together with Lossless Scaling, but with new one that I find graphically better and so much smoother with the default SSS and graphic settings. I'm only using rx580 that's why I tend to notice the performance alot.
@@Venoxiumbefore i could only get 30-45sh, with the update I was able to reach 50-60fps. Together with new update of Lossless Scaling 2.3 at 3x framegen I get 90fps (capping my frametime to solid 30 for better stability) without artefacts or delays. So optimized for me now, happy with the update, better graphics and much stable performance. Hopefully you can fix your performance issue soon
I did see something on discord that the optional “turn this on if you stutter” mod causes significant FPS drops, so if you have that on maybe try turning it off.
it's okay, bcs it's in the lore and core of artifacts creation in stalker universe, in OGSE for example, you can get artifacts by luring mutants into anomalies, and the more powerful mutant the more rare artifact you get. Also in OGSE you had an opportunity to craft artificial artifacts by using mutant parts, artifact Red Star for example, needed Soul and bloodsucker's tenticles if I'm not mistaken
The Tarkov voicelines feel so out of place. Like who played GAMMA and was like "you know what this game is missing, freaking Tarkov voicelines". Also the slug nerf aint just a nerf. i feel like an actual nerf gun would do better
Hey I watched one of your vids the other day and you mentioned you need to take note of your extra mods you added onto gamma. Is there any chance you could share some of them, if you have the spare time?
He mentioned the main ones in this stream. Quick action wheel(download from moddb) Placable waypoints(in gamma disabled) Garbage to rostok shortcut(find a mirror download somewhere. I'm pretty sure I got mine from a link in one of his vids)
@21:52 How did you get that Quick Action Wheel mod to work with Gamma? I installed it like any other additional mod and can't get it to show up in game. Cheers
@@Venoxium Yeah, doesn't show up in mcm menu I'm afraid. It's ticked in mod manager and the mod page doesn't really have installation instructions either, so I'm not sure what I've missed. Thanks though.
Why does the foliage and grass look better and more vibrant in your gamma videos? is it the zone you are in or is it a simple mod i should check mark? also what is the name of that radial med mod?
IIRC it’s one of the grass/foliage mods that’s in Gamma already, sorry I don’t remember which one. Grok just has the Autumn/dead colors enabled by default. To make it look like this, I think you need to right click>reinstall that mod in Mod Organizer, then in the install options select the Spring/green colors
We made it that you can’t join unless you have phone verification on your discord. We were having a lot of issues with bots. Otherwise, the link should work perfectly fine.
You have to enable it in your modorganizer. It’s called “Companion Teleport”. Then to teleport them you need to set a keybind at the bottom of the controls section.
Is there a way to play this where it's not so ridiculously grindy? Repair system is wild and there's too much going on, I just wanna play a cool solo tac shooter with some light survival elements.
Play the actual stalker games then? There are also a ton of older stalker mods which focus on questing instead of this Anomaly (free roam focus) + GAMMA combo.
Technically, yes, but you’d have to put a lot of work into it. Remember one of the “M”s in GAMMA stands for modular. So you can add or remove as many mods as you want, but you’re also gonna have to figure out which mods interact with other mods and which ones you can remove and which ones you’re gonna have to keep.
A lot of the time when I watch you play Gamma, you're almost always complaining about how tanky enemies are. Honestly, I agree with you. 4 slugs to the face is absurd. Never had this problem with EFP personally. Not sure why Gamma is so cringe about ballistics.
Yeah that’s why I absolutely love EFP. I really hope EFP explodes in popularity when Haruka, Maid, and the rest of the team eventually update EFP. Supposedly we’re getting a new update by New Years.
It's wildly unrealistic, but I think it's good for gamma's balancing. Getting a good mag fed shotgun is not too hard and shotgun ammo is extremely plentiful. Plus shotguns are great for most mutants too. Part of gamma's core loop is finding and fixing up better guns. If a shotgun with slugs gives you roughly the same effectiveness as a high tier 7.62x51/54r rifle, why bother spending resources on the higher tier weapon with rarer ammo? It still feels like bs, but I do still think it's good for the game
Why is gamma always crashing? I could never play it because of crashes, and i read gamma is actually stable and doesnt crash. I literally do exactly what the guide says, i have 444 mods or whatever the number, everything works, the game looks gorgeous, i walk a bit, destroy a crate and bam, crash. Always crashing.
@@nib6383 I see theres an updated gamma now, but this was 10 days ago. I did everything as grok said in the installation guide but to no avail. The only thing that comes to my mind is ive read somewhere on the internet that even after installing and playing i should go back to that launcher/installer and yet again click on update. Could that be it? Does the installer install mods but not their latest versions so i have to update everything?

Yeah placebo goes crazy
Those quests to defend position are BRUTAL.
3:30 i dont like the NVG changes either, but getting them curves nighttime difficulty significantly and doubles your available Stalkin' time. i think grok loves the grind
Yeah I’d imagine it’ll push more people to not have them for the miracle machine also

Sometimes i dont understand Grok's choices, such as the bleed change, but im just along for the ride with whatever goes.

9:12 wow! There's shortcut now! Exciting to discover more with update

I´m so glad I´m not the only one saying the FPS is considerably worse after the update.
I find it odd you'll need mutant parts in order to craft artifacts..
it's okay, bcs it's in the lore and core of artifacts creation in stalker universe, in OGSE for example, you can get artifacts by luring mutants into anomalies, and the more powerful mutant the more rare artifact you get. Also in OGSE you had an opportunity to craft artificial artifacts by using mutant parts, artifact Red Star for example, needed Soul and bloodsucker's tenticles if I'm not mistaken
I understand it though. Before the only use for mutant parts was quests and selling at Butcher.
I've never crafted an artifact. I'm new. Is it easier or harder now?
I hate it, it was totally separate part of the game for me.
@@croncastle3028 harder pretty much

“Reduced Slugs damage to actor to avoid double shotgun one shot early on.” It’s a nerf to npc not your slugs. Placebo is rough

Your Scrocher run looks ez. But mine was a hell. Is it Max difficulty?
Max difficulty.
Getting mixed feelings about this update, think I'll hold off for a little while, especially running on a older rig like mine and hearing 'fps drops'.
What is that wheel. When he flips so quick through items and meds?!
“Quick Action Wheel”.
How do you disable english voice lines so mercs speak russian without crashing the game cause it really bugs me too
If you already started your save, then you can’t. You can remove your player voice lines, though it’s called “Voiced Actor” I think.
