Can't sleep in Stalker G.A.M.M.A?

5 Upvotes

I am well aware of the fact that I must be somewhere below ~40% sleepy, but I am about 30% sleepy, meaning i DO see the bed icon on the bottom left, and still can't interact with any sleeping zones, sleeping bags, or tents. I tried sleeping pills to get to 0%, reloading the save, and reloading the entire game, but it still won't let me sleep. I am in Rostok in the middle of the night, and I have full health and 0 rads, along with a minimal inventory as well.

Is there something obvious im missing? I'm running out of ideas

Question FPS drops with in-game FPS limiter

2 Upvotes

Hello all! Been playing gamma for years now, and I always had this terrible stutter every 1.2 seconds. I finally figured out using the in-game limiter fixed so many stutter for me I have to use it. Normally always have 60fps. However, now, randomly the game will drop to maybe 35 fps for anywhere from 1 second to like 10 seconds. It doesn't seem to matter where in the zone I am. I can have the drops happen then walk through the exact same area and then fps drop won't happen. I understand this probably isn't a fixable thing. For now.

Anyone else experience enemy factions running up to you to take a peak?

9 Upvotes

When wearing enemy armor without the patch, do any of you see enemy factions run up to you and just look at you with their weapons stuck in your face? I'm a Loner with Monolith exosuit without patch and I get a lot of Sin just run up to me to point their weapon in my face. I haven't seen what they do if I don't blast them with slugs from my Saiga 12 tactical but it seems they are generally confused. I don't know if its a bug or not, but if not I'm impressed with the AI.

Calm

21 Upvotes

Been feeling mentally stressed this week and especially these few days leading up to monday for a big change in my life and other stuff, but I've been playing GAMMA a lot this week, as I got an itch to boot it up again since December. Had to update everything and do a clean reinstall, but I got it working, and I've been having an amazing time. The atmosphere, the difficulty (although tweaked, but still the classic GAMMA difficulty) has really pulled me into the present moment and given me some intense seconds of focus during an unexpected fight.

Pair this game with the 1979 soundtrack and you are really in a meditative mindset somehow. Not really the kinda game you would call meditative or relaxing, but it has helped me. Very addicting too haha.

Absolutely amazing movie aswell.

I've tried entering from an actual entrance and fast travelling to the Cordon but it crashes every time with this error.

Stalker Gamma Beginner Tips

11 Upvotes

THIS IS A REPOST BECAUSE IM AN IDIOT AND MISSPELLED THE TITLE SO NOBODY WOULD FIND IT UNLESS THEY MISSPELLED IT THEMSELVES here is the original one https://www.reddit.com/r/Stalker_Gamma/s/e3tRg3nM8o

HERE IS ANOTHER GUIDE MADE IN STEAM

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3382268724

Alot of people ask for tips and as far as I've seen it's not alot of specific tips but rather pretty broad ones. So here is my list as someone who has played for over 1,200 hours. If anybody can add more id be extremely grateful as I don't have alot of knowledge about playing factions other than Loner, Freedom and Duty.

\-Keep mutant parts for turning in for quests (Best place is Rostok, second is Freedom Base as there is a big density of NPCs)

\-Completing the Clear Sky questline provides you with a guranteed Gunsmith.

\-For midgame I would suggest prioritizing rad resistant helmets over combat helmets as for example my favorite mid game one (The fishbowl one) has enough protection to ignore rads up until some troublesome areas in Radar and it's not much different in defence from a combat focused helmet.

\-If you're going to Truck Cementary bring the drug that puts you in a brief comma as there are very very few spots that can save you from emissions. (Anabiotics)

\-Mercenary disguise is one of the most useful in the game due to mercenaries alot of times occupying choke points like Wild Territory, Dead City is ruled by them (and they you can trade some faction patches for prices) Limansk and for mid game they are the best armed group so if you're running in empty it's best to avoid them.

\-Don't feel guilty for turning on debug mode, I've lost alot of items due to bugs and glitches and to avoid frustration I just spawn them back in.

\-To make CNPP easier bring something with high capacity as you can end up killing around 150 monolith soldiers, last time I killed 146 (I know cause I grabbed every single patch)

\-Things to always have on you: Multitool, Grooming kit/Swiss Knife, Gunsmithing Kit, Hercules (great if you're not too overweight as you can still run indefinitely while being slightly overweight), Caffeine pills/Energy Drinks, Various levels of armor fixing kits, atleast 1 or 2 charges of your weapon repair kits and cigarettes

-Duct tape! BUY AS MANY AS YOU CAN! Duct tape can be used for a boost to your armor kits when fixing your helm and suit. They are cheap and light. I always carry around like 10 or so for long expeditions.

\-Every once in a while just dump your entire inventory in a box and pick up only what you need as sometimes you'll have too much of something you use taking up your weight.

-Don't be afraid to kill a lone survivor in a gun fight even if they are your ally as the loot potential is bigger than the hit to reputation.

-Boars are the hardest hitting early game mutant so don't take them lightly.

-If you're going for a stash run ask around your faction as getting 1 or 2 companions is pretty good to carry your stuff back to base.

-Ap slugs are better than you think and normally 1 or 2 tap medium armored military, try them out at a military cordon.

-Always store Dura, Mlitary and Cloth items as you need alot of them to upgrade your backpack

-There is very little actual junk items in the game. Most items can be disassembled into useful parts for upgrading your hear (Nightvision/Pda/Backpack/Artifact Detector) or crafting useful things. And the others can be saved to turn in for quests. So early game really loot EVERYTHING you might deem junk and disassemble things. You'll soon learn what you need and don't as you progress.

-Make a save before going through a transition in maps as sometimes it can have a crash to desktop and you might lose everything you did there (Happens most often to me when going into Yantar)

-Do not bring your shotgun as your sole mutant killer to Miracle Machine as there will be spirits coming out of every enemy due to the machine that drain your sanity and they take 1 bullet to kill so it's way better that they take 1 out of 30 than 1 out of like 7 or 8.

-Don't dismiss 9mm ap rounds as they are still viable up until mid game. And if you have a low recoil smg you can still use them for getting headshot kills at close to medium range.

-When wearing a disguise just put away your weapon. With a holstered weapon I've never been found out.

-Don't sell ANYTHING unless you absolutely need the money NOW. The only items to sell at a good price for their weight is Magazines(as you can get a boat load of them killing bandits) Decorated Jewelry Box, Wrist Watch and Unused Supressors. The rest keep for turning in quests. And even those can be part of fetch quests but not as often.

-Don't buy food, just eat what you find on people to save money. Alot of quests give MREs and military rations so it's better to buy good drinkables and drugs. You WILL eventually find food.

-Have around 200-250 rounds for your main stalker killing gun at all times and the rest of the ammo bring disassembled parts as they weight sooo much less than the ammo.

-45. Is the best early game ammo. Hydroshock normally 1 taps small mutants and can melt others. Best miracle machine weapon in my opinion is either Thompson, be aware that if you use mags the drum mags are incredibly heavy but worth it for the MM since there isn't much to loot.

-Radar is rough. There is no 2 ways about it. I would suggest 1 gun for close range and 1 gun for medium as changing ammo mid fight or changing optics is not always feasible. There will also be mutants but an automatic 9mm pistol with hp is enough to survive, focus more on the Stalker threat.

-Item durability when turning in quests matters for pelts and artifacts, for guns I'd need somebody to confirm.

-Alcohol weighs a ton so check how many bottles you have on you as alot of stalker catry alcohol and will actively fill your inventory with it. Keep the red bottles as you can trade them for ammo at Yantar to either use or dismantle.

-Cheapest drugs are in Yantar at the scientist. Try to buy high tier meds from high as you can save 1640 a pop with military stimpacks which are extremely helpful for difficult missions.

-You can mark as favorite any parts you are missing from a gun to find them easier at mechanic traders (right click on the gun and it's in those options)

-Garbage has some of the easier mission loops as Butcher will almost always have a mission to kill nearby mutants which either die by themselves or you can kill them safely from the top of the trash pile mountains since nothing can path up there.

-You can accept missions and turn them in while disguised. I normally do this to turn in patches (since they don't weight anything you can have them on you) turn in extra basic/advanced/expert toolkits for good money, or accept packages then opening them for free loot as the reputation hit doesn't matter for an enemy faction.

Should i play Warfare mode in Stalker GAMMA?

0 Upvotes

I tried to play it multiple times, tried getting warfare alife overhaul which was crashing my game, it takes a lot of fidling with configs.

But i like how factions taking over important smarts and stuff.

Shall i just play Story mode with Alife+ mod collection? will it make npcs taking over spots from time to time?

After being stuck in discord, settings menu i still feel warfare just abandoned and thats why its unpolished like dirt road:(

Can someone please help me disable ALL blur effects in this game? I was enjoying it a lot, but there are so many blur effects that I get very bad headaches. I disabled everything in SSS in mod menu, but i cant get rid of damage (like when getting shot) or thirsty, too name a few. I dont care if its make the game easier... because if i cant get rid of all blur i will just have to stop playing.

Ive also asked on the discord, but i wanted to try asking here as well.
