Updated graphics & visual setup | S.T.A.L.K.E.R. GAMMA 0.9.1

[@brainjackt]

Reshade is now disabled by default with the Christmas update of GAMMA. To enable it, follow the instructions in the link below: ibb.co/pLjWmb3

[@allislost9999]

Thx 🙏

[@skif_jr]

what are the extra reshades you got because i dont have hunters or edens or any, only atmos and norfair

[@brainjackt]

I got them from the gamma reshade database here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1psiAYFNaGSYs2j5Gbd6p67SyVi6PQvhr9vSUOiyFATw/edit?usp=sharing@@skif_jr

[@cptcrysis2378]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!! LMAO... I just installed GAMMA for the millionth time and Reshade is NOT working anymore and i was trying to figure out why the hell its not working

[@smallphalanges1234]

I have tried updating through the GAMMA launcher and unchecked the "Delete Reshade DLL's".. but it is still disabled in game. Any help would be appreciated.

[@Grimm_Holt]

As a helper in the gamma discord, I will also note that HD models and ugp can cause a TON of crashes and bugs. It's important to know what you're doing before you start jamming mods in. He clearly knows what he is doing.

[@willbyrn5920]

To be fair those mods both have Video guides linked in their pinned comments. Kinda hard to mess up at that point.

[@onpatrolforthejuice]

I use UGP and it is amazing and don't want to play with out it but it has been a nightmare. I don't dare try and add that armor mod pack kvmas or what ever. Ive lost 2 or 3 playthrough between those 2 add ons. The first one I lost I had expert tools 😢

[@onpatrolforthejuice]

​@@willbyrn5920it's not the installing them part. It is the updating GAMMA with other mods on top of it that is when the crashing begins. There is tons of UGP that I've had to get people on discord to either drop me other files or grab alt files out of other modpacks to paste over missing or corrupted bump maps or whatever.

[@yurishevrovski423]

i did not know what i was doing, my game now runs in 30fps

[@onpatrolforthejuice]

@@yurishevrovski423 for which mod did you add?

[@brian_serafin]

We asked, and you delivered. Great editing too, the music was subtle and complimented your narrative, and the render settings were sharp and clear. Look forward to more videos!

[@mone4988]

Thank you brother I could not find a single video explaining how reshade works with the install of gamma. 10/10 vid

[@corvo6372]

Just installed GAMMA yesterday thanks to your video on the new update, very excited to jump in! Keep up the good work

[@Roush87]

Thank you so much for making this video. This has helped with the anti-aliasing issues I have been facing.

[@brainjackt]

awesome, glad I could help!

[@DaimeneX]

If you use latest Screen Space Shaders, don't enable Grass Shadows. Instead tweak Shadow Cascades for Grass Shadows in that mods MCM menu. Default grass shadows are a performance hog and don't look that good, while SSS ones not only look better but don't affect performance as much.

[@brainjackt]

great tip, thank you!

[@thisguy35]

thx

[@SuchManor]

what cascade settings would you recommend changing?

[@ダンバダンバ]

I wanted to ask, did gamma change how weapons are viewed now? it looks a-lot more centered and realistic in the fov

[@Solkan55]

he made and uses custom repositions and he also said they will release them once he is finished repositioning every weapon@@ダンバダンバ

[@Milligram808Music]

your setup looks amazing!!. nice job! I just started messing with GAMMA, . it has so much compared to my personal MOD of ANOMALY.

[@ダンバダンバ]

looking forward to the repositioning mod, it'd probably get crazy attention because no one else wants to go through doing the guns 1 by 1.

[@4bangerkovaaks]

Good video. I'm sure a lot of people will appreciate this.

[@AvnerSenderowicz]

one setting not covered that worked wonders for me is enabling DSR in nvidia control panel. this allows to run the game at slightly higher than native resolution and then have it scaled down - it does great at anti-aliasing and produces very sharp image with no blur or shimmers. if your gpu can afford it (the game is most often cpu bound anyway) - highly recommended.

[@johncooke1072]

gonna test this on a vanilla gamma in a few

[@omgaflyingmonkey]

What path is this applied to? The GAMMA exe or anomaly itself?

[@AvnerSenderowicz]

@@omgaflyingmonkey anomaly itself - but easiest is to set globally, then you can set the higher res in any game.

[@MikhailBardikov]

Stalker is more gpu bound not cpu.

[@AvnerSenderowicz]

​@@MikhailBardikov right, that's why using DSR, which is dependent on GPU resources not CPU, makes so much sense for this game. If you're already cpu-bound to say 60fps - why not use gpu-dependent features like DSR (or shaders) to improve image quality? as long as you don't overdo it you're still going to get the same 60fps just with much better quality graphics. I'm running at 5120x2160 scaled back to 3440x1440 and the game looks amazing - no jagged lines and no shimmering, and performance is the same as when I run native (5600X/4090).

[@azure8676]

lol i watched your last guide the other day and a new one has just come out im subbin

[@RmXs]

Got your video suggested, damn it looks so good, sadly my GTX 1080 can't handle it 1440p... I have to play on medium to get stable 80fps, this GAMMA mod pack is just insane.

[@Norfair_IX]

Great video guide caj. Keep 'em coming.

[@FaZeFloridaMan0904]

You’re a legend king. Keep this up!

[@cozyfr0g933]

I was wondering how you made GAMMA look so good. Thanks for the video!

[@DavideSimonetto-g7n]

I'm done with all your info and works very nice, tank you Brain..👍

[@IRCAA2]

You're the one, top tier content fr!

[@Krpamojtedrpa]

Amazing, be sure to post a video when you upload the reposition mod!!

[@hmmjedi]

With regards the graphics that I myself have barely touched the surface of I might have to do a second install to investigate the graphics... thanks for the video...

[@PeculiarTendencies]

Really looking forward to those weapon repositions

[@Ahtnagarp]

this game still give me chills and fast heartbeat when i go raid in night time

[@VitoScorcesse]

God tier video, direct, no beating around the bush, based on actual gameplay results. You sir are godsend. Edit: For some reaon my reshade settings are missing the TFAA option. Weird as I just did a clean install on my Anomaly and GAMMA.

[@brainjackt]

Try this: Go to the Settings tab on your Reshade menu and scroll down to the "Effect search paths" option. Press the + to add a new search path and navigate to the TFAA folder which should be in the Shaders folder.

[@VitoScorcesse]

@@brainjackt Pogchamp, you fuckin legend. That did it.

[@jordans486]

Great video. I use the kvmas & azetrix model merge mod with 0 issues. Makes NPC's look so much better & is a game changer. The newer BaS weapon mod update is pretty good too.

[@aykanbican4355]

how do I install it? cant find a guide anywhere

[@mvrkinlink7416]

00:59 Man i dont know why, but i got a lot of crashes with that one. I really love the way these models looks.

[@voodoo5845]

a weapon reposition mod would be incredible, its the one thing im missing from immersion at the moment

[@JeronimoStilton14]

What do you mean when you say reposition? Like being able to lean the gun out to the side for blind fire like tarkov?

[@voodoo5845]

@@JeronimoStilton14 no the specific position of the gun in the view model, so usually fps games have your gun off to the side but id prefer it to be more centre like in the video. You can mod this yourself I just don't really want to lmao

[@Norfair_IX]

There is a Reposition Mod for GAMMA already, from Meowie ~ there's a dedicated thread for the mod in the mods-posting section.

[@Dunelmdrummer]

Thank you for this ❤ can you tell us your PC specs? Want to know if my system could get even close to looking this good

[@josue1996jc]

i almost spilled my drink when you first said the word "VANILLA" and "GAMMA" in the same sentece, my brain just strugled to compute it, gamma is a mod-pack on top of a MODgame that uses as base a modifyed version of an expansion of a game xd.

[@brainjackt]

just using a standard term so it's easier for people to understand that I'm referring to the default GAMMA setup

[@DVAudioCreations]

What settings/shaders do you have going on at 7:30 ??? That looks amazing

[@JuicyTowelz]

All the visual mods kill my framerate, but its worth it.

[@Radiowarsaw]

Thank you for the vid, it really helped me fine-tune my gameplay. If you listed the specs of your setup in the vid or description, that would help me gauge where my rig would perform with the settings you went over

[@sandroedilashvili3651]

How you make grass look so good? i have same settings. grass has like no shadows (although they are turned on in the settings) and the sub surface scattering is on the whole model of grass. not just the tips as in your video.

[@sosig8332]

Just saying, grass shadows can be handled in the SSS mod in the config menu :)

[@infaraday6862]

Hey nice video. What is your build (CPU/GPU) like and how many FPS do you get on average?

[@brainjackt]

currently bouncing between 2 which I both play at 1440p. My main that I use for gaming that I cap at 60fps is a Ryzen 9 3950x/2080ti. My work pc for recording/editing/creative that I occasionally play on is an i9 13900kf/4080 which I cap at 120fps.

[@foreverlostmydear]

im really looking forward for that reposition mod

[@onpatrolforthejuice]

What kind of sharpening are you using? I always feel like my game is either too blurry from all the AA it takes to make 1080p not look like crawling hell insects. Or the game looks super sharp and comicbook like.

[@dcvendex4166]

just to confrim since zone reality got cancelled is the thing to use the coar + aydins grass + adega right?

[@main_elmex]

Hello, I don’t want to seem stupid, but could you make some kind of tutorial on installing these mods in a gamma build, for some reason the game won’t start for me. It seems like I’m doing everything right, but the game refuses to start, it takes a while to load and then crashes.Perhaps I installed the mods in the wrong order, but I don’t know which way. So you would help not only me, but also other people, I would be very grateful if you responded 😢.

[@Vireca]

Thanks for the guide! Im curious, whats your PC specs?

[@africanricc3458]

You still dropping that weapon position mod ? I freaking love it!!

[@iNexility]

🙏 thank you very much

[@Nathdood]

KVMAS and Azetrix models are not only better than the "HD models" but are more stable, too. Little more of a pain to install but comparatively simple to some mods

[@jpeesbass]

Any update on when the weapon reposition mod will come out? These repos are great

[@Grimm_Holt]

Would you be interested in posting those custom weapon positions in the gamma discord mods-posting channel?

I'm gonna soon upgrade to a 14700k + RTX 4090 both watercooled and overclocked, and see how gamma runs. So far i'm on medium settings on a ryzen 5 2600 & rtx 2060 (trash RAM & other components though) so i can't wait to try your settings. I'm expecting solid fps at 4K but as the game is not really optimized and uses an old engine, i'm not expecting to run 300 fps lol. Still useful thanks i'll see how it turns out for me

[@brainjackt]

You'll get very high FPS with that type of processor since the older engine loves intel and fast single threading

[@Dranlake]

How can you set the graphics to Medium? There's no presets, or am I blind? Ahahah

[@R_K-kr9uh]

Dont forget that u might not have good fps even with ur "mega cool pc" in 4k😂

Hi there.. Amazing work.. Where can we donate to people that do all this?

Difficult to say, these are all individual authors and most make mods for the love of the craft. You could probably find some donation links attached to bigger modpacks but those only go to the organizers of the packs and not to the individual authors.
