The Passive-Aggressive Guide to installing STALKER GAMMA

- THIS VIDEO IS SLOWLY GETTING OUTDATED, especially with the latest launcher release. Follow the steps on the discord, and watch this for entertainment purposes I guess xD
A quick, easy, step-by-step, dummy-proof tutorial on how to install STALKER GAMMA (patch 0.9.1). The more I was recording this video the more sassy I was getting, so I just decided to embrace it. This is a real install guide, I'm not just complaining about people unable to follow a basic set of instructions. And if you truly have issues after doing everything correctly, the discord is here. Cheers guys :)

You are saving my helpers so much headaches with this video, thanks a lot 😀
I started writing this video half as a joke while I was doing a fresh install of the game, reading all the comments of ppl having issues.. so if it turns out that in the end it makes you guys" life easier the better! Thanks for all the hard work, been having a blast with the mod!
not a single croissant or baguette reaction on it tho ... smh
Please pin this so people can see that it is Dad approved forever

Thank you grok and your minions for all the hard work you guys have done. Thank you cheeki for all the hard work you put into great videos. Much love to you both.
And just like that, the vid is now part of the official how to install section of the Gamma discord! You are doing the community a massive service with this man, well done!
its not there anymore :/
- THIS VIDEO IS SLOWLY GETTING OUTDATED, especially with the latest launcher release. Follow the steps on the discord, and watch this for entertainment purposes I guess xD
- The "downloads" archive is optional for the install, if you don't have them don't worry and just proceed with the next steps.
- First time 7zip users, uncheck the first box to the left when extracting the files, the one right under the destination. Otherwise it will create a folder inside the folder with all the files. (Thanks @Snigismund !)
Does the downloads zip have any positive function? Do they improve or add anything extra? Seems the discord doesn't have a link to it. Thank you for your videos it is really helpful
@@ianmarais9403 At this point only get it if you have the same issue i had that I describe in the second part of the video. If you're just installing the game just ignore it, the launcher will download everything you need automatically.
@@CheekiBreekiTv I see, I should get it anyway, getting data corrupt errors after a few re instattions of the game and I am following the steps closely. Going to install it with downloads and if the error persists I'll try and follow the discord on the error. But ya I already deleted the game again so
thank you saved my skin!

"If you don't get the prompt, congratulation. You fucked up already" ... That had me on the floor dying, idk why. Love this dude's honesty. Keep it up xD
LOL specially with his accent! I know I was too.
And no explanation on why?
No check mark in the first box when extracting btw
mine was on my default
Barely understood his dumbass voice thank god for subtitles and his honesty? Nah dude just wanted to be an annoying prick
You know what I like the most about this guide? You included how to save the settings for when people update the game. When i played for the first time I was redoing the settings every time until I discovered how to save them.
Im convinced this is the best guide there is, I'm digging the passive-aggression in this!
Hi Cheeki, I'm a moderator from the G.A.M.M.A. server (and I'm also in the video since I wrote the how-to-install, hello TH-cam!)
I just wanted to congratulate you on how you structured the video and how you showed that installing G.A.M.M.A. really isn't an impossible task, you just have to put in five minutes of reading.
You even explained how to update (I literally rewrote the whole procedure from scratch making it more understandable literally three days ago) and you even explained what to do if you have problems with the "Large Files" zip file! Our helpers are your fans (they told me to tell you) and so am I, you did an amazing and flawless job, we are speechless.
I added your video to the top of the how-to-install channel, thanks to you, from today, people will have no more excuses for not upgrading Anomaly to version 1.5.2., or for having Anomaly and GAMMA inside one single folder, and I could go on and on hahahah
The only note (which in truth is a nitpick, not even a real problem, professional deformation) is that it is not absolutely necessary to call the folders "GAMMA ANOMALY INSTALL" and "GAMMA FILES", it can only complicate things, you can call the respective folders "Anomaly" and "GAMMA", less confusion for everyone.
Other than this, I thank you on behalf of the whole team, it's a 10/10 video, I can also safely confirm that you lurk the server and never say a word (lol), so whenever you want, show up :)
You guys are doing an absolute banger of a job and I can only admire your patience and dedication, so if this video helps, even a tiny bit, well it just made my day!
Just wanna point out that I know why, but I love the passive-aggressive tone of the instructions
Things like "Can I do X? No you can't because it wil cause problems" lol kkkkkkkkkkk
the support section has been like a warzone the past few days 😂
redditor
bro, when you need a 9 min vid to explain installation it might be too complicated.
I thought that the mod was gonna be super difficult to install, but after carefully reading and following the instructions on the discord server, it was super easy to do and when the new update came out it was also easy to update. It's actually amazing how well organized everything is for what is a free mod.
Thank you, it's great to hear it :)
I'm not really mod savvy (or all that tech savvy in general) but I found your guide very helpful as a side by side reference with the information of the discord server. I was able to get it all set up and start playing. Thank you very much Mr. Breeki.
You sir have somehow made the most dummy-proof tutorial I have ever seen and I consider myself to be quite "challenged" at times, thank you for your help, and happy hunting stalker.
Got it first try, excellent guide, thank you for the hard work
I just installed this latest patch after a year off Gamma and holy damn this mod has been improved.
When I updated to 0.9.1 I was definitely in the "followed instructions but still had issues" category and like you said, there were others with the same problem and someone with a solution in the discord
For anyone who follows the steps exactly and for some reason still has many errors appear within the CMD window (the step at 5:28), and you are missing entire mods or parts of mods. Simply, repeat this step again. Close everything, relaunch the GAMMA launcher as Administrator, leave the 4 boxes checked, and click the install/update button once again. The installer will go through and repair any issues that happened during the (5:28) step. I followed this exactly and would crash upon starting a new game because a handful of mods didn’t install correctly. The fix for me was to simply redo this step. I didn’t have to clear or delete any files. Simply repeat the step and the installer will update over the missing and damaged files if you have any. Hope this helps anyone who has the same issue I did.
Thanks man this is really helpfull to know, I have had the same issue
I did all the steps as you said you did also and was so excited to pick my equipment out and faction, go to click start (start to bring loading screen up) with happiness and joy....to be kicked back to files. I deleted and just played anomaly for awhile but I'm going to try to re-download and try this if it happens. Were you able to get the the same point as I did or am I having a different issue?
@@grizzd3095 What was happening to me is, I followed the instructions in the discord exactly. The same steps as shown in this video. For some reason, while doing the launcher installation I could see many errors showing mods not installing correctly, missing files, all kinds of errors. Not a ton, but certainly enough that I knew it probably wasn’t working correctly. I launched the game and was able to navigate the main menu. I could pick equipment and try load the game but it would crash to desktop upon loading into the game world. Sounds similar to what you experienced. So I repeated the step above as I mentioned and when I did it that way, the window no longer showed all of those errors. I essentially just did the step twice and the second time the launcher patched up any files that were missing and my game worked after that. I hope you manage to get GAMMA working friend, as it’s my favourite way to currently play Stalker :)
I'm currently trying atm wish me luck 🤞
I'm playing!!!!! I'm gonna cry lmao!!!
I've had it installed for ages at this point. Watching cheeki breekie being passive aggressive made my day
Giving a update, i did your instructions and the game runs great! Thanks for the help.
Hey, great work comrade. Been following some of your videos since I first played vanilla Stalker anomaly, a few years ago, and after a year I decide it to take a break from Anomaly and finally come back today. Gamma was in my radar for quite some time, and Im pleased to play this game again with such an wonderful modpack. It totally melts my brain for all the effort put together to release a full compilation of the best mods in a single package. It revamps the whole aspects of the game itself, its perfect and it works fine. Thanks for the amazing tutorial, it really helps a lot, and for the team of Grok Gamma. You guys are awesome, love and respect from Brazil comrades.
Before Anomaly, I was playing Anomaly with Expedition modpack, tho is a great mod itself, my PC cant handle properly at that time, so I decided to test Gamma and I was not dissapointed. It runs fine with my new setup with a gtx1650 16ram and xeon e3 1230v2
Incredibly easy to follow. Thanks a lot!
I’ve never had an issue with installing and updating Gamma. I’m still watching this cause I like your vids
Man
An actual quality installation guide, that we ended up adding it to the #how to install guide.
One thing I'm not pleased about is the addition of the largefiles gdrive link into the description.
My mirror is already getting overused as is... and now this video will definitely make it hit the download limit xD
I am immediately sold on whatever games you make in the future, if your showcases are delivered with the same passive aggressive approach as in this video.
game installed perfectly on the first try. thanks man! very good tutorial
Thank you! i had a problem with the large files, now its fixed!
Thank you very much for the Help.. and I love your videos.. keep going with everything.. 😊
Best install tutorial ever! I love the accent and the rant. Especially the runtimes rant xD
I figured it out on my own, definitely it paid off. I am now at the war with Sin with the best gear - SVD PMC and a AK-5C that I stripped of a Monolith corpse and then overtime repaired
Amazing video man thank you. Love the funny attitude too
Glad you made this. I was getting tired of seeing people bitching that their game is borked because of their NPC brain rot.
some people are v new to pc and know nothing about computers🤗
@@INIGO7then follow the directions the install guide provides?
That's or their PC couldn't support gamma
@INIGO7 there's countless install guides out there, that's on them
the edgy demeanor of many pc adapt folks comes across as "try hard" to the rest of the world. . . just makes you look pretentious and stupid, more than what you think others come across as.
Make sure you don't fit this description: you know your way around installing a silly game and mod but you don't know how to relate to people.
.. . . contrary to belief Mr. Robot is a TV show created by people who may not know much about pc`s but know their way around people and how to get them to bite the relatability bait, you see, people skills still trump in the end. people will bitch, you will bitch, everyone bitches about something . . . everyone is good in something and no one is good at everything - treat others as you would like to be treated when at the knowledge short end of a matter. some of those bitching people may have served their countries, have gone to war, have saved people`s lives as ER staff or 1st responders, may have been working under the sea to keep the lights on, may have done numerous great things - this, this is just a game man and if you know how to help stop bloating yourself up and help.
Thanks my dude, super helpful and clear. Again thanks
After a hard day's work, I come home at 8:00... get ready to game at 8:25, check YT instead and find your video 8:39 and have a blast. I love your sense of humour.
Awesome vid as always.. never had a problem or crash from the first update to hot fixes.. playing and loving the game more... still lot to learn though XD
This video gave me this weird feeling i got in modding communities like Fallout 4. It feels so pressed, as if the passive aggression is a way to implicate, that people with problems are actually just dumb. This is the first thing i‘m seeing related to SoC Modding so i hope, this feeling is just a exception. The few minutes where you actually explain what to do are worth watching tho
😂😂😂 This is actually fun to watch. I really understand, if ppl dont trust the process, beacause they are new to modding, GAMMA or Anomaly. But you have to follow the steps. And yes the mods and Anomaly running fine, if you do what they told you to do. I just had problems when I did miss something or did it incorrect. And all the problems on the discord are grounded in making something wrong. Good video. Keep going Cheeki
Doing God's work fellow Stalker
Just wanted to mention a small tip that saved me hours - Once you have downloaded everything and have selected an 'instance' and are letting Gamma update itself, open your task manager and put Gamma Download's on high priority. Went from 6 hours to around an hour for me.
Привіт Stalker. I finally managed to figure it out (At 1:47am) and get GAMMA running. Many tears were shed this morning :)))
You probably don't read these, but in all seriousness, you have saved me days of bellyaching, and I appreciate it.
Very funny and to the point tutorial.
👍
awsome my brother!! thanks a lot for this guide!! i instelled it by my self and the games runs like ****...than i found this vid. started with this guide at the beginning and it WORKS NOW!! nice man! cya you all in pripyat :D
this is the first video i've watched and i already love you XD XD your funny as hell
I know this video has been out for a while but just wanted to thank you, I feel much better following the step by step of someone who knows what they are doing rather than reading the guide on their discord
i feel so dump and happy at the same time thank you kindly sir
You saved my ass ...
Had trouble with large files too.
Danke Cheeki!
Wow very informative clear as clear sky thanks fellow stalker.
Glad to say I'm part of the small percent that installed it correctly. Still crashes a hell of a lot. Could be more due to my again hardware though. When GAMMA works, the experience honestly can't be currently beaten. Finally found a set of Expert Tools! Thank you Grok.
Short, sweet, and to the point with a bit of shaming :) jokes aside it's a great guide and helps give active visual points to what the discord already says
been wanting to play this for years but to a country bumpkin this looked WAY harder than you just did for me, godbless you
This is a great guide, lmao, so passionate xD
Dude. You're a legend. Thank you. I can finally stop having to tell people to "RTFM, you brioche"
IDK why am i watching this, i guess your voice is calming.
I was having trouble getting it to run because I was being an idiot but the added sarcasm in this video saved my ass. Really people, if you literally follow the instructions, 'it just works' :)
You are so awsome! Thank you for this!
Hey man, I really like your videos and they help me a lot with getting better at gamma, I have a question though, I'm new and I really want to play ironman because it just seems like so much fun and makes you actually care whether you live or die and is just a lot more immersive to begin with but I'm aware I'm not even slightly nearly experienced enough to do ironman and that it will probably take hundreds of hours for me to be ready, my question is at what point subjectively would someone be ready to play ironman? Obviously taking it slow and trying to see things before they see you is over half of it but what else needs to happen before someone is ready for ironman such as learning how to deal with mutants, learning AI mechanics and where things spawn and anything else like that, especially with this last update where super dangerous mutants spawn in packs it's just really got me wondering at what point I really would consider myself ready, any input is appreciated and I'm definitely looking forward to any new videos from you as well
The couple times I've downloaded and installed this game I never had an issue and it was super easy haha
Worked Perfect thanks a lot!
Thanks for the captions!
Amazing video, thanks a lot
Haha. I'm finally sitting down to update my install of Gamma, and your video comes up first in my Google search results :D
This is the best how-to video on TH-cam, hands-down lol
Edit: some advice from my experience to anyone who benefits:
If you're using ESET as your firewall/antivirus, you may want to turn the real-time file system protection's scan on File open, creation and execution off for the duration of the install/update process. ESET caught a few files during the update for me, but it's smart enough to recognise they weren't a threat--but it took a moment to scan them, which may interrupt the update (it didn't seem to for me, but results may vary). I just turned those functions off for the updater and turned them back on after, no fuss. ESET's just doing its job.
I love this video :D
Love the vinegar you added to the saltiness to make this palatable ;)
I'm here for the content. Game is working fine.
Absolute Legend!!!!
Thank you so much for explaining it like I am a 5 year old. That is actually really helpfull.
Great video, love to see it put in easy terms for noobs like me! The last time I tried installing it, I was watching a video from some Russian guy that was dated 2 or 3 years ago😂
Building a new PC soon, thanks for this
Only 95%? I'd say its closer to 98%... And I'm not a fan of Discord either but the FAQ and guides on the GAMMA discord is very very good. 99 out of 100 times, the answer to a question is there, I promise. Edit: Just realised we have the same desktop background.
Preach brother!
If this is your first time ever using 7zip on your pc, Then when you extract the files to the anomaly folders you need to uncheck the first box to the left, The one right under the destination. otherwise it will create an folder inside the folder with all the files ind. after you have unchecked it once it will stay unchecked.
Thank you, was stuck for 15 minutes trying to figure out what I could have possibly done wrong 💀
Hey Cheeki Breeki, do you think youd do a another video on stalker anthology? Perhaps when it gets a patch fixing the game breaking scripting bugs?
Ive been loving the presentation of the mod. Absolutely gorgeous. Only thing I've had to touch, settings wise, was the slowdown time mod option.
I will at some point yeah! It's a super exciting project, just waiting for a couple big updates to drop to see what has improved!
Completely unrelated to the video but what is your outro music and is there a longer version out there I can find? lol its incredibly relaxing and I'd like to have it just to listen to whenever.
I can smell the next adventure :]
love the background on the vid
I just put this on in the background when I reinstall every few months for Angry Stalker ASMR
Frère un grand merci surtout pour la partie du dossier large files ... Mon téléchargement s'est arrêté durant cette partie la j'ai dû annuler pour passer au téléchargement suivant et là j'ai téléchargé le dossier en description pour le remplacer, et remettre un coup d'installation pour le zéro erreur sur la console. J'espère que ça va marcher cette fois j'ai perdu espoir de pouvoir y jouer à nouveau jamais eu autant de mal que cette fois-ci surtout la partie de l'exclusion des dossiers gamma et anomaly j'ai dû le faire sur mon antivirus qui gérait toutes les options de sécurité à la place du système ça m'a prit du temps avant de m'en rendre compte pfiou. Que ça marche ou pas je te remercie pour ce guide c'est extrêmement bien détaillé et limpide tu gères poto 🤟😊
Thanks my man!
You were right, I'm an idiot, I was using an old installer because of some old video guide by another idiot, just got in to my first game of gamma and I'm loving it.
This guide is perfect ❤
Thanks, my games been crashing left and right with errors, now I can enjoy the update 😂
Thank you for this video, out of the 95% you may find there is another sub group that are actually trying but just aren't that savvy with this stuff, non the less they love the games and want to go through the pain of trying to get the game installed - I believe this` video actually helps a heck of a lot because of the video/audio references!
I should note that I see some derogatory posturing in some of the viewers' comments. . . I`d just point out that they also watched the video, meaning they needed and benefited from it in some way as well... so they shouldn't judge the boat their sitting in too harshly.
Hi Cheeki Breeki - just one small things - fortunatelly I made the game working just with the guide on discord, so I am a lucky one, or I know how to read 😛 - but I found one small thing is missing, and that is the Demonized exefiles. In case you have outdated exe, you might encounter a crashes, looking like, you load in the game, all looks nice and working, but after a few seconds you come in to crash referring most likely to shaders, but it can be different. Fix for me was downloading the latest demonized exe files, since that moment all worked well and I can again enjoy the beauty of of the zona :-) good luck to all good stalkers - and to you with your videos. Cheers
hey i have a question if t5he large files ever get updated where would i look for the updated versions, i know its probably the discord but i just want to know.
i have installed it on two different computers and it worked both times. the discord has troubleshooting as you go - only time i had an issue was when an individual mod was somehow missing but i just had to run the installer again and it was fine. it even tells you what buttons to click in what order, what your mod manager should look like, etc.
thanks for the guide it works im like few days in and forgot to thank you bcz its not just instal and play but its worth it im huge stalker nerd and its a new perspective, ive played Misery mod already and when the chimeras start to be bullet sponges its just game breaking and annoying
Glad to hear everything went well and you're enjoying the game!
Thank you for the kinky good humor :)
Thanks Brother.
4:16 "Congratulations you f*c$ up already" 🤣
So, if I get the errors during the download do you still let the install process go until done or do you have to let it keep installing until it's done than you can manually put in the large fine and restart the download?
I've tried so many times to install this mod. But I refuse to give up .
I got it to up and run one time, oddly enough I drag and dropped my extraction. My only issue was it never installed all the mods. So I've been trying to do it the right way to no avail.
I know it's a me a problem though.
Installed Gamma 2 times. Had zero problems, because I can read.
Thank you for posting this. It is a daily uphill battle to help people fix their install due to their own inability to read. Us helpers appreciate you.
Hello cheeki! Great tutorial you made for me to install, I just have a quedtion, a simple one! Can I create a shortcut for gamma or do I have to launch it from the folder. Either way I hope you are not mad at me asking this question and once again fantastic video :)
go ahead and create the shortcut in the desktop or wherever you wanna put it, it should work just fine
@@nah_ualalr thanks!
i was looking for this yesterday....
First time I installed Gamma almost 2 years ago, before the last 2 big patches, it literally took me one go and I got it...probably because I CROISSANT READ THE DIRECTIONS! Then when I got my new rig last December, guess what? I reinstalled again and no issues as well. Seriously though, there is nothing wrong with the installation, people just suck and then go on to bash Grok, the modders, or the GAMMA pack itself. Lols, thank goodness we got Cheeki Breeki here doing the down low for the low low folks.
''íf you don't have the prompt, congratulations you fcked up already'' got me xD
anyways, this vid is a god send been having trouble installing gamma back then
Hey mate! Clear guide you have here. Thank you for that. Just one question though... I get the root directory thingy but, does it really have to be C Drive? I got a 2 TB SSD exclusively used for my games and it is E Drive. Can I still use this drive as the game's root directory? Like E:\Gamma Anomaly Files instead of C:\Gamma Anomaly Files ? And the folder names really have to be all Capital letters? Well... That was more than 1 question 😃 Thanks in advance!
Yes its fine, it just need to be on the root, but any drive will work!
THAAANK YOOU!
Where is your dowloads fille from? i cannot find it onn the discord and you gave no link for it. Thanks for the Video tho, nice work
For now you dont need it, they removed this file
Normally I'm very lazy and often don't install things if it's complicated. However I carefully followed the Gamma installation instructions on Discord and it all works fine. Just need to follow each step carefully. Only thing I have yet to figure out is how to play vanilla Anomaly if I want to now Gamma is installed.
Just have a separate install of Anomaly in another folder, if you just installed GAMMA you have all the files to do so already (just extract anomaly + update in another folder and you're done, can even add another instance of MO2 to it to mod it etc...)
Merci mon ami!@@CheekiBreekiTv
Salut! :)
thanks for your guide
because of you I managed to install it
BUT
Its a unplayable buggy mess
guns not spawning after a jam
deadly radiation near campfires
crashes after new map load
Walking feels now clunky and stiff
Is there a learning curve or whats the deal?
in 3 hrs of playing i had to reload like 20+ times because of some bugs or crashes
is this normal or is my pc contaminated with anomalys
I already had the game installed a couple of times, just wanted to hear you rant 😅
unbelievably based, yes i've noticed so many people both cannot and refuse to read. it's present in so many communities
Gonna install this but in the meantime. Whats difference between gamma and anomaly?
As someone that’s just got a £900 pc today to play Stalker Gamma because I’ve watched Operation Drewski play it so much, this is crazy complicated 😂
Actually watching this just for the laughs :D
