Since the making of this video, we have gotten EXPEDITION 2.2! This is pretty much the same modpack but on steroids! Check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/dZ2hngr2C9Y/v-deo.html
the mod has only 1 option: a .7z file. i need it to be a winRAR file so i can use it. (what i mean by this is that there is no option to download it as a winRAR file, only as a .7z file. this option doesnt work for me so ill have to convert the mod from a .7z file to a RAR file using some online file convertion thingy)
For everyone who’s been wanting to play 1.2 but can’t figure out how to get it to stop crashing when using your inventory or smoking a cigarette I did something that seemed to work. So I have expedition and anomaly installed in files on my desktop, I followed the directions for a fresh install of anomaly then did the install directions for expedition. Go into scripts for expedition and drag the smoking animation and the backpack animation to the desktop. I dragged them to the desktop incase my game crashed worse after this, and to my surprise the game stopped crashing entirely, and the animations still worked even tho the files were on y my desktop and not with the rest of the files. Hope this helps somebody else
7:50 on the SSAO settings: - choose HDAO if you have a AMD graphics card - choose HBAO if you have a NVIDIA graphics card Reason? HDAO works better with AMD cards, and HBAO works better with NVIDIA cards, you can still use HDAO even if you have a NV Graphics card, but you will have a much bigger impact on game performance.
Arguably one of the more stable mod packs to put addons with. Tarkov-inspired mods and adding a magazine inventory to this mod pack is a freakin' chef's kiss.
@@meat_coolant i use provak and play as bandid or monolith ..then .. Clear the first area in dark valley .then after upgrading a little bit starting to raid garbage ..then cordon and so ..I teleportinto the maps which is kinda like tarkovs way of entering maps ...everytime I have enough gear/ended a contract I go back to the entry point and extract ..I don't use save in the areas [only at my base] and I use a highest difficulty settings for ai .. Plus the zone customization project addon which let's me switch on random loot and also change all amounts of spawing objects and npc chars .. I set the squad size higher and enable zombie pack spawns... I could change it to a more tarkov like experience if I disable all non human characters..but I really like chasing bloodsuckers ..
@@meat_coolant Magazine Inventory? Is that the one where you have to manage the ammo in each mag, like spending time loading the rounds into the cartridge and whatnot?
Thank you so much for this video. I've made attempts to get into stalker so many times but vanilla is outdated and modding is complicated, but this simplified the process immensely.
There's another modpack called Dark Signal made by a guy named Shrike or something along those lines, it's very good, it's basically vanilla Anomaly modded so that nothing new is added but minor tweaks in gameplay and graphical enhancements make the game lose its outdated feel.
Super awesome video man, I got tired of fighting frame rates modding FO4 and could never figure out the perfect setup between beauty in performance. I have the same setup as you so this was exactly what I needed to finally have a nice modded shooter that's beautiful and plays smoothly. One of the most useful modding videos i've ever watched yet!
I just downloaded this this afternoon and I must say it is a marked improvement over "vanilla" anomaly. Having played through the main quest on the latter, I feel like this modpack adds enough visual improvements and weapon variety to make many more playthroughs of anomaly interesting.
It just gets better with age liike a very fine wine doesn't it, I would like to see these review gurus use EFP or even vanilla anomaly for bench testing instead of the terrible badly optimised AAA crap that they always use.
Thanks for the great Video it improved my Anomaly Performance by a Lot despite being on a RTX 3070 Mobile and when it comes to AA I always have it on because Edges on 1080p doesn't look so stellar anyways xD
lmaoo samee, im trying this after work today too... Really just want something that I can lose myself in for hours and be amazed at the sights, sounds, quests, etc.
Drinking Game: Take a shot every time he says, "I do.." "I use.." "I (always) keep.." All jokes aside, I liked this guide and it helped clear up a bit about Expedition's poor preset it ships with. The mod pack itself might be as instable as Chernobyl's No. 4 reactor but the graphic changes it brings can really enhance the gameplay, especially during rain.
Yesssss! I asked for this mate thanks a lot. Been using the agressor mod but after watching some of ur vids was curious ti what u was using. Great work mate
I clicked the comic filter in reshare and now I've been playing like that for a week, it literally looks like borderlands but stalker but also borderlands
Ok so there are HD npcs, mutants, weapons, HD textures, improved lighting and lense effects ect BUT.. All of the scene assets are still low poly in comparison. It would be very nice to know more about modifying game assets using the 3d program of choice so that they had the same overall dimensions, but a lot more detail (smooth edges, round corners, more geometry) and HD textures to match. Can anyone elaborate if the game maps are 'as is' (models placed in situ and as one file) or if all the individual aspects like tree models, storage tanks, buildings, cars, debris, pipes ect are individual assets that get placed into the map in preset locations on loading? Hope this makes sense. What I'm getting at is if individual scene assets could be modified to high poly with HD textures say, a drum or pipe or staircase or tree for example was remodeled with higher detail and poly count, then do all of the copies of those objects also get updated in the maps? Or would you have to go through the entire list of maps and replace the objects one by one?
Interesting observation: Most of the videos about graphic settings for anomaly recommend to switch vsync off and disable fps limiter but what this brought me was a lot of stuttering. On my PC (5800x, 32gb ram, gtx970) when I switched the vsync back on I get 60fps all the time and the gameplay is butter smooth.
@@dennisdabbicco6238 i've come a long way since in terms of optimizing this game and by far the best thing you can do to stabilise and raise average fps in general is to disable hyperthreading through bios.
Something is wrong with my install or something. I used all the same settings, but it looks super blown out and way too high contrast. Sun rays are bright white that wash out everything they touch, and shadows are basically just pitch black. Enabling some of the reshade filters shown in this video just made it even worse.
Hi, I am new to this game, I followed everything you said and the game works, however I didn't understand how you open the settings of these two points: 8:37 Filters Of Choice 10:38 Light Settings

@@christopher5442 same man i really dont Interact here too, but this time i tested all settings and to help the others i maked this comments Glad helped you
You did leave out one part. When you extract the files from the Expeditions Zip file, you need to take the files out into the Anomalys root folder, just adding the folder in doesn't work
Awesome modpack! i personaly like to run the "Enhanced Shader" mod with no Reshade at all but thats the best thing about this, gane can look how anyone likes
Just a heads-up for people that use shader driven mods, Expedition doesn't currently work/have a patch for Beef's NVGs or 2D shader driven scopes I was scratching my head for a day trying to work out what caused an error with pp_blur
Great video! I did everything you explained but just a question: how can I enable HUD ingame? Tried to enabling it in game options, console...but still nothing. Cant see my health bar etc...
There is an upcoming series of winter uniforms by Oktopus,I seriously reccomend them for winter map playthroughs (yet another winter mod is the best winter map)
Neither is a good option, it's a non modular addon soup and the graphical part is just 10x bloom and sharpness If you want the best experience, get EFP 3.0 or GAMMA
Awesome video! New to stalker and new to modding and this was extremely helpful. One question I have is how you opened the filters menu? Home key is doing nothing for me. Thanks!
I did it by hitting the home key, if nothing appears to you maybe you installed it wrong. But in any case search for "HOME" Key in your country, sometimes it chances depending on the keyboard nationality
I remember seeing this game almost year ago and just forget about it until your vid weeks ago reminded me of this game lol will try the expeditions mod this time 👍
thanks for this even though i have a potato laptop and i search for ways to make Stalker Anomaly run better, i will keep this video in mind once i get a REAL proper gaming pc
like the first tutorial ever to not give me any problems along the way. the only thing that kinda bothers me is that the home key doesnt open up the mod panel but it looks great anyway. thx
Thanks bro really apreciate it! I just have one problem. Whenever i want to keybind the game to different keys when i press the inventory it crashes. Idk how to fix it. Anomaly version is 1.5.1 and expedition is 1.2.1
@@somename6955 thank you so much been looking for a fix for like 48 hours now, my game used to start with abso. no sound and idk what I did to fix it I went into stalker/bin and started from the anomalydx11 and i had sound. after that i had the inventory problem. Thank you again man.
Hey Custer! I loved the recommendation for mods (downloaded both Expedition, and B&S and haven't looked back). However, I'm running into an issue and was hoping you could point me in the direction of a fix. I installed both B&S and Expedition, but running into a shader issue (complaining about the Laser Sights). If I delete the file, it turns the entire game green irreversibly. Any idea of how to fix that? I'd love to use all the weapons in B&S, but not sure how to. Cheers, and loved the video!
@@CusterPlays Ooooooooooo! The one I downloaded was the one at the top of the page. That must've been the Graphics only Addon. Is the full pack inside the mod page?
if after following the steps in the video your skybox is way to bright/white try adjusting these settings r2_tonemap_lowlum 0.3 r2_tonemap_middlegray .75 r2_tonemap_amount 1.0
Hey man great content! i have a question, do u have any idea what happened to 3d/PiP Scopes? i think they got removed for incompatibility with some reshade things. Do u have any info is there is some compatible one with the current version? Anyway, thx very much for the introduction, i really needed the reshade thing to adjust the graphics
So I've done the file replacements in the Stalker Anomaly directory folder with expedition 2.0 but nothing really appears to be changed. This was with a fresh install, no saves. The menu is still the old layout, and the graphics don't appear as good as this even with the selected filters activated under 'home' key. Anyone else experiencing this?
Very good looking mod indeed, love it! Thank you Custer. Me and a few of my friends are also crashing at "Army Warehouse" map while loading in to the map its crashes to desktop, asked on DB no luck, any idea anyone ? try to fast travel to it via debug ?
Same happens with me, but usually when i'm playing at warfare mode, after a few minutes of staying in army's warehouse, the game crashes, when i checked the logs to see the reason why, it simply said something related to fn scar, i hope they add a hotfix
I checked all the graphic options just like you do. And my game looks like someone is shining a flashlight in my eyes. Totally not playable. What to do?
I know this is a bit late but this is currently the most relevant video. Why is my HUD not showing my hp bar or psyche bar. Nor does it show pda alerts. Thanks.
@@CusterPlays I would never say a video of yours was, that would be ignorant. (first stalker mod for me) The installation process is HSed; this is the closest i have seen you come to a install guide, apart from name dropping a mod. I mean i got the mod running now after tons of searching and some many 1.5.1 deletes and redownloads, ironic about the update tho "lol". BOtem-LiNe thanks for the push in the direction of learning! :)
@@mybinis6664 what did u do differently than what Custerplays did? I tried to make this work a while back and I got crashes after taking everybody's suggestions from before.
This is a straight up guide from start to finish? Do i need any other tools or patches before i decide to start modding? Or can I just start from this video? For example if I wanted to play Fallout New Vegas, I would need to install a bunch of stuff before I actually started modding, or using a mod manager. Also this is such a noob question, but which stalker game do I need? Theres three but I don’t know which one. The reason I’m so new is because I saw your video on expedition and it seemed really nice, you really got me hooked by just one video.
looks that makarov reload animation its realistic, some pistols like makarov...beretta...when the weapon its empty the guy pulls back the slide when its already back
Nowhere in description of Expedition mod pack is the "Read More" to click. It says the mod is only the graphical not the pack.. Any help Edited : Just copy paste the link in another browser cuz Chrome wont show "Read More" in Description. Thats how i fixed it
Dose the mod pack have the HD models in it already? If not, what HD models mod would be best to use? Cause there seems to be a lot of them on the website.
Ive only seen one popular/good HD models mod. Were talking about npc/enemy models? It introduces massive lag at hubs/hotspots though so i recommend using one of the better vanilla based model swaps. Very low if not negligible impact on performance, dramtically better looking than vanilla in my opinion. Though we arent gonna get any amazing looking models any time soon that doesnt tank our fps I'm gonna assume.
Custer, I like your guides since they have a good reach among a lot of the newer players in Anomaly, but I highly Advice against suggesting/using Expedition since: 1. It's a mod-pack created by an external party. This means that bugs encountered here are meant to go to the author of the mod-pack since he mixed them all in. I've recently seen people reporting bugs in Anomaly server based on Expedition and getting muted there-after. 2. It's also not a very stable mod-pack either It would be better to suggest either EFP or G.A.M.M.A to newer players since they have highly active discord servers that have their own moderators and tech-support channels
Since the making of this video, we have gotten EXPEDITION 2.2!
This is pretty much the same modpack but on steroids!

@@somename6955 thank you so much been looking for a fix for like 48 hours now, my game used to start with abso. no sound and idk what I did to fix it I went into stalker/bin and started from the anomalydx11 and i had sound. after that i had the inventory problem. Thank you again man.
Hey Custer!
I loved the recommendation for mods (downloaded both Expedition, and B&S and haven't looked back). However, I'm running into an issue and was hoping you could point me in the direction of a fix. I installed both B&S and Expedition, but running into a shader issue (complaining about the Laser Sights). If I delete the file, it turns the entire game green irreversibly. Any idea of how to fix that? I'd love to use all the weapons in B&S, but not sure how to.
Cheers, and loved the video!
Did you installed both the Expedition mod pack and the BS mod?
@@CusterPlays That's correct. The Graphical version of Expedition, and the full BS mod
@@tristanwong3866 Wait, no. One thing is the modpack and that already comes with BS
@@CusterPlays Ooooooooooo! The one I downloaded was the one at the top of the page. That must've been the Graphics only Addon. Is the full pack inside the mod page?
@@tristanwong3866 Yeah, i showed it man
I press the home-key and nothing happens. Any advice?
if after following the steps in the video your skybox is way to bright/white try adjusting these settings
r2_tonemap_lowlum 0.3
r2_tonemap_middlegray .75
r2_tonemap_amount 1.0
it doesnt work the sky is still a white plain
Hey man great content! i have a question, do u have any idea what happened to 3d/PiP Scopes? i think they got removed for incompatibility with some reshade things. Do u have any info is there is some compatible one with the current version? Anyway, thx very much for the introduction, i really needed the reshade thing to adjust the graphics
PiP scopes are available with certain mods, like Desolation. Not sure how they work with ReShade, but you can try them out if you want.
So I've done the file replacements in the Stalker Anomaly directory folder with expedition 2.0 but nothing really appears to be changed. This was with a fresh install, no saves. The menu is still the old layout, and the graphics don't appear as good as this even with the selected filters activated under 'home' key. Anyone else experiencing this?
yeah, dont know why its like this
@custerplays you have mentioned some important mods at the end of the video, can you please list them?
Pressing the home key doesn't open any plugin menu for me, and there don't seem to be any item usage animations even when its enabled in game. 🧐
same for me
what modpack were you using at the end? was it expedition?
lookin good
Very good looking mod indeed, love it! Thank you Custer.
Me and a few of my friends are also crashing at "Army Warehouse" map while loading in to the map its crashes to desktop, asked on DB no luck, any idea anyone ? try to fast travel to it via debug ?
I keep crashing whenever I go into rostok
Same happens with me, but usually when i'm playing at warfare mode, after a few minutes of staying in army's warehouse, the game crashes, when i checked the logs to see the reason why, it simply said something related to fn scar, i hope they add a hotfix
There is any way to get the mod pack you mentioned in the video or the mod pack you are using?
great vid
Огонь👍🔥
for filters of choice what button do i press on my keyboard that shows me the options to turn off or on?
Graphics so good that youtube detected it as stalker 2
Didn't knew Artyom from metro played stalker too..
JK Custer, love you to bits!
Lmfao, thanks man!
Hi one question the expedition comes with the bas? Because when i instal the bas mod my game crash i cant use the bas mod with expedition
do you also have issues with the trees being really grainy
I checked all the graphic options just like you do. And my game looks like someone is shining a flashlight in my eyes. Totally not playable. What to do?
i have the same problem
Same
@@AKJay47 delete shader folder and replace it with the one in the sip file.
I know this is a bit late but this is currently the most relevant video. Why is my HUD not showing my hp bar or psyche bar. Nor does it show pda alerts. Thanks.
ty so friggen much dude
Is it just me or does this mod selection entirely remove all the normal hud info that would be there for health etc?
yeah, im trying to find how to have the hud on, but cant seem to find anything
Ended up with a weird shadow bug that I couldn’t resolve with a laggy game, delete and fresh install here we go.
Thanks man!
No problem Rhino, enjoy it and have fun!
No good , after doing everything from vid my game crash every single time on Loading Screen , any sugestion ? RTX 2080 , 16gb ram , R7 3700X , cheers.
Half assesd
install not a complete solution if you ask me. i had to figure it out for myself. thanks for the point in the direction.
The install as slightly changed with the new version, but this video wasn't half assed at all, lol.
@@CusterPlays I would never say a video of yours was, that would be ignorant. (first stalker mod for me) The installation process is HSed; this is the closest i have seen you come to a install guide, apart from name dropping a mod. I mean i got the mod running now after tons of searching and some many 1.5.1 deletes and redownloads, ironic about the update tho "lol".
BOtem-LiNe thanks for the push in the direction of learning! :)
@@mybinis6664 what did u do differently than what Custerplays did? I tried to make this work a while back and I got crashes after taking everybody's suggestions from before.
Thx ! I'm gonna try your settings !
Also, are you playing in 1440p/4k ? My game look very grainy in 1080p
Yeahs 1440p
This is a straight up guide from start to finish? Do i need any other tools or patches before i decide to start modding? Or can I just start from this video? For example if I wanted to play Fallout New Vegas, I would need to install a bunch of stuff before I actually started modding, or using a mod manager. Also this is such a noob question, but which stalker game do I need? Theres three but I don’t know which one. The reason I’m so new is because I saw your video on expedition and it seemed really nice, you really got me hooked by just one video.
Ok I just rewatched the video and stalker anomaly is completely free… wtf thats crazy
🤦♂️
looks that makarov reload animation its realistic, some pistols like makarov...beretta...when the weapon its empty the guy pulls back the slide when its already back
Hey man, I just did what you do with Mod Pack Folder, but Mods is not work for me. Why?
Nowhere in description of Expedition mod pack is the "Read More" to click. It says the mod is only the graphical not the pack.. Any help
Edited : Just copy paste the link in another browser cuz Chrome wont show "Read More" in Description. Thats how i fixed it
Dose the mod pack have the HD models in it already? If not, what HD models mod would be best to use? Cause there seems to be a lot of them on the website.
Ive only seen one popular/good HD models mod. Were talking about npc/enemy models? It introduces massive lag at hubs/hotspots though so i recommend using one of the better vanilla based model swaps. Very low if not negligible impact on performance, dramtically better looking than vanilla in my opinion. Though we arent gonna get any amazing looking models any time soon that doesnt tank our fps I'm gonna assume.
Custer,
I like your guides since they have a good reach among a lot of the newer players in Anomaly, but I highly Advice against suggesting/using Expedition since:
1. It's a mod-pack created by an external party. This means that bugs encountered here are meant to go to the author of the mod-pack since he mixed them all in. I've recently seen people reporting bugs in Anomaly server based on Expedition and getting muted there-after.
2. It's also not a very stable mod-pack either
It would be better to suggest either EFP or G.A.M.M.A to newer players since they have highly active discord servers that have their own moderators and tech-support channels
