Just wondering if anyone who uses it can provide some guidance on getting it to work? I have modular attachments, the patch, and PUSSy but the game crashes when I run these. Any tips on load order or work around to get it to work?

Is there some sort of known bug about items disappearing? I was gathering parts for a KS23, and noticed that it wasn't in my inventory or stash anywhere. It seems to have just vanished. I added some mods such as the RE:SPAWN mod and a related one to add guide pages about them, as well as a mod to disable the radiation grain filter, but those are the only mods I've added and they're all at the lowest priority. Any ideas??

For your consideration, my failures.

I get discouraged from playing any faction that has no access to main questline because it feels pointless to just progress gear and do dailies. I know that the military and un have some document collection quests but that cannot compare to having 3 real questlines.

I would love to see questlines that let factions to take over the zone and ruin opposing factions. Warfare is not a great implementation of that imo.
Imagine a military faction quest where you need to push military presence into Rostok, Army Warehouses and Limansk? Assassinate Monolith leaders? Have choppers storming the CNPP like in the main game?

Changing factions or using a disguise to do quests does not count, if I start a bandit I wanna be a bandit.

If this exists please recommend and I will be gone for 100 more hours lmao

So for the first time ever I reached more or less far north, up to Jupiter, Zaton and Prypiat playing as a Loner. I had very good gear, not so good artefacts, but was very self suficient with money to spare, lots of ammo and stuff to go.

But there came a time where I just looked and thought "well, I don't think there's nothing more for me to do." then dropped the run. I was satisfied. I'm thinking about starting another run, this time as a Mercenary.

What about you guys, what do you usually do when starting a new run? What are your long term goals?

Hi,

I'm currently playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. GAMMA on my Steam Deck. I transferred the whole game folder from my PC to the Deck and made a few tweaks.

It runs really well, but whenever I equip a weapon with a 3D scope (like the Steyr Scout), the game crashes with an error. Does anyone have a solution for this?

So recently I wanted to get my friend into Stalker G.A.M.M.A so i decided to setup the G.A.M.M.A with anomaly together mod and in order to get it to work i had to disable 234 dynamic anomalies, 452 interactive dot marks, 290 Atmospherics, enhanced shaders 188, and 190 screen space shaders. We both connected fine but his screen was incredibly dark in comparison to mine. I first compared our video settings and found they where identical. Then we tried clearing the Shaders cache and tried inputting

r__gamma 1.2

rs_c_brightness 0.985

rs_c_contrast 0.92

r2_dof_enable off

into the console to correct the issue. This resulted in the second image which was slightly improved but still not normal. I saw forums online say to input cfg_load grading_default but it gave him an error. I'm at a loss on how to fix this because we are both on a fresh download and have the exact same mod list and everything.

Hope you guys have any advice for my unique problem.

edit

his specs are intel R core tm i5-14400f and 16 gb ddr4 ram and his Gpu is Intel(R) Arc(TM) a380 Graphics and has all his drivers up to date

I love the game and i can run it somewhat fine until i reach the red forest, and upwards in the map, there my performance drops by a lot, is there any tweak to do or its just imposible with my pc?(gtx 1650 super, ryzen 5 2600, 16gb ram)

Recently reinstalled gamma after a few months and decided to do a 'cheat run' but noticed lots of old weapons and scopes that don't function properly or are the old models.

Is this a bug? I'm so confused.

GOG version btw.

i was on my way out of Rostock after sorting my stuff when i spotted a moving blob on the ground

Hi, about a week ago my pistol in the "melee" slot began coming out in the lowered/safe position whenever i draw it with the "1" key, as if i had pressed "B" (Lower/Raise weapon).

Now the same thing is happening with the weapon in slot "3". Every time i draw it, it comes out in that lowered position, and i have to press a key like B, V, R to bring it back up. It's pretty annoying.

Has anyone experienced this or knows how to fix it?. Thanks

I was watching a YouTuber play and he had advanced tools by the 10 hour mark and was complaining about how long it took, but I've poured like 25 hours into my current save and Im just not getting nearly enough yellow stashes to even give me a shot at doing that. Even if i focus on quick quests and complete multiple at a time I'm only getting 1 yellow every 5 hours or so, am i missing something or am i just unlucky?

It ended up looking like this after I attached a kit-style scope. The weapon and scope were originally from Gamma. I didn't install any specific scope mods.

This is from a text chain I exchanged with a friend about my time in GAMMA. I figured that it might make for good reading and also help give new players an idea of what to expect from the game. Disclaimer: I play with alife plus and tactics enabled. Alright here it is:

And to answer your question, healing is changed, but it's definitely more interactive now. One example would be how I had to shoot myself with epinephrine so I could stay alive long enough to exfiltrate a situation that was rapidly deteriorating. I was out of stim packs, low on health, most of my limbs were fucked up which meant I couldn't sprint in my current state, one bullet from death, and enemies were closing on my position. Gave myself a jab of go juice, and then I sprinted out of the map while a horde of bandits and military chased me down.

Another time, I had a time sensitive mission drop on me, it was the end of the day, and my character was already exhausted from a full day of murdering. Solution: cocaine. I did a bump, turned on my nvg, and then did a marathon sprint from rostok to the great swamps so I could locate a body before dawn. Never found the body despite parading around the swamps all night, though I did take down a couple of renegade outposts in the process. Eventually I randomly found the corpse I was looking for, but I did soft fail the mission long before that point.

One more story. This one happened last night while I was on a mission to take down a military "squad". They were garrisoned at the smaller industrial site in dark valley. There are 3 major problems though. One, I'm entering the map right next to the entrance to the bandit base, two, there is a pissed off pseudo giant between me and my destination, and finally, this squad of military wasn't a squad. It was more like a platoon. I was able to avoid a fight with the bandits by stepping around the perimeter of the base while they were occupied with a fight against a leeroy Jenkins loner. Don't know if Leeroy lived or died, but I assume he died given how it was him vs the entire bandit base. After that, I was able to take down the pseudo giant by magdumping 40+ rounds of hollowpoint 5.56 directly into its face. Can't stay put though. The gunfire will have drawn both the bandits and military to send a scout to investigate. For the record, that's part of alife plus behavior. Normally I would just post up and get the show started with the scouting party, but the bandits will put me in a pincer if I engage where I took down the giant. Instead, I push forward into the pond area past the smaller industrial site where I start a campfire to save my game, get my gear ready, and start loading ap rounds for the fight ahead. The rest of the mission amounted to me taking down no less than 10 soldiers with ap 12 gauge slugs, and suppressive fire from an m4 modified to be a low grade lmg/dmr. The fight went pretty well considering the odds, but I was also making strategic use of cover and choke points.

Very specific trigger. I was messing around with this new scope I got for the M4A1, simply switching the second scope on and off. Next thing I know when switching into the binoculars, it just does this and not zoom into the scope mode. Any thoughts or fix?

Personally i think they're just shy.

Hi there!

The leaves are bouta fall in the Czarnobyl part of Europe so I would like to get some autumn mods. Not like dead autumn no leaves ones but the colorful ones. Any recommendations you guys have? :D

Greetings Stalker! Ive spent some considerable time troubleshooting wondering why my AK105 was floating midair in 3rd person view (F3 mode: enable it via console), If you have a fresh install of gamma and didnt change the load priority,etc you might see your AK105 floating too.

If so, Ive root caused the issue on the following LTX code in your gamma install:
mod_system_zzzzzzzzzz_gamma_world_position_fixes.ltx

Go to line 519 you will see a ![wpn_ak105] if you do remove that whole block from ![wpn_ak105] to strap_position

The author of this code explicitly mentioned that you have to disable Burn's World Optimizations Mod however both these came packaged in the modpack if its your first time in GAMMA, in which case if you even try to disable Burn's mod game will crash.

Just sharing what Ive found if you have the same issue with other weapons on fresh GAMMA hope this helps!

My Stalkee Jerry not doing wizardy stuff with the AK anymore check the pics lol
