Just a few things to point out. Artifacts Artifact crafting is best to wait until you reach Jupiter where you can buy the other recipes. Right now you can only craft the low tiers which aren't all that amazing. The Kolobok though is great to swap off/on, the health restoration will save you a ton on healing. Only fuse/empower artifacts that you will actually use because you need spare artifacts to feed the artifact melter to regain charges. The artifact you picked up at 10:36 had a +Burn Cap modifier. All your resistances are capped at 65 by default but with the right artifacts you can bump the resistance cap to 95. Bullet Resist is capped at 90. Radiation has no cap. BR Class and Bullet Resistance BR Class signifies what class of bullet your armor can stop so you take no damage from it. If your BR class cannot stop the bullet THEN Bullet Resistance is used to see how much it hurts you. BR class only comes from your armor and the armor plate attachment. Bullet Resist can be improved with artifacts. Always look at BR Class first when upgrading armor. If the Bullet Resist is bad it can be countered with artifacts.
19:53 A lot of countries outside of the states use a "Ground Floor System" Where the Lowest floor is floor 0, the ground floor, and the levels go up so 2nd floor here is technically the third according to the states standard
For any Americans who don’t know and considering it will apply to this in most parts of Europe the ground floor(first floor in America) is not considered the first floor. If you come across any missions saying it’s on the second floor it will be what we consider the third floor
@ for Americans it goes 1st floor, second floor, third floor. In Europe it goes ground floor,1st floor,second floor. So what we consider the second floor as Americans is considered the the first floor by Europeans. I don’t know why it’s like that it’s just how they do it
@@dantauche7917 For us, Europeans, it's weird the other way around. 😂 I don't know how it is in other european languages, but in polish "floor" translates to "piętro" (i know you can't spell it 🙈) which itself kind of already means it's ABOVE the ground level, so the first floor has to be your second floor. Hard to explain. So in polish your 1st floor is "parter" and in german "Erdgeschoss" - ground floor, then the numeration starts. 😅 Actually a simple but confusing thing. At least I was confused as Qloud started to look for the laptop on the "1st floor" instead of 2nd. 😂 I was like "dude, what r u doing", didn't even know it was any different in the US. 🙈
I wish they would officially add armor plates. I play with that mod and it's fantastic. Update isn't bad, but yeah I can tell you what to disable to get rid of stutters man. I use a laptop and just unchecked skies redux, lens flares, both overwritten by SSS or Atmos anyway, Update reshade and screen space shaders. Maybe even a different texture pack. With ADEGA I had mad stutters still, but with ATO the game runs great atleast the 2k version. A shame they didn't address the performance issues yet.
Just a small tip for the rf receiver so you don't have to sit there and spam click, you can use the scroll wheel to change the frequency and it still works with the quicker 10hz change function too
In case you dont know Qloud if you go to the mod list and search for grass tweaks (reinstall for different option) you can reinstall that mod and change the world to be winter summer spring fall to get rid of the gloomy colors and stuff. just click replace when you choose your new settings and you are done.
@@ZachMeador Not in GAMMA they don't I regularly hide in bushes to escape or "exploit" that blindness for easy kills on larger groups. Hell, even the bush on the side of trees can hide you.
5800x3d + rtx 3080 and i play in 1440p on 240hz monitor. After the update I have around 90fps, where previously i had sth like 80 but with frequent hiccups and stutters. Right now it is way way stable/smoother. When i turn on lossless scaling it runs like butter and I even added ADEGA + C-consciousness grass, trees and upscaled skybox. For me it's the best Gamma update since i started playing
Small TIP: Somwhere in the settings you can find the keybind to switch on the LED reticle in your scopes. Great for scoping in the night or low light contidions. It helps with Night vision too.
A little advice: do not judge an armor just from its stats, look also at its upgrades. There are armors with low rad/bullets protection that can be significantly increased by upgrades and becoming very strong. Also see in the upgrades how many belt attachments can be added by upgrades. Eg. the "Merc SEVA body armor" ("medium armor" and not to be confused with the Merc Seva suite) fully upgraded up to T2 upgrades (not even T3), it's a monster, even more powerful than the "Hybrid armor" that is tagged as "heavy armor". It can also have the ability to regen your health, and has 5 belt attachments - after being upgraded oc! Same for guns: i.e. some seems to have weak recoil control or precision, than you upgrade those and it become very powerful.
I'm guessing the writer for that laptop quest is from outside the USA. Not sure what other countries do this but as example in England we go ground floor, 1st, 2nd, etc.
Nice gameplay. Lots of players have stutter issue and its simple part of engine as it is. But it could be reduced; set world distance to 50%, enable shadow culling and put Sun to medium and Both option (Volumetric+ScreenSpace), reduce grass like to 170 top and shadow resolution in launcher to 2048, and last disable Volumetric Lighting. Edit: also AA and MSAA disabled (use reshade immerse aa only, nothing else) and SSAO disable, its in SSS already (as grass shadow as well, disable that in advanced)
You may have already done it, but you can put the game, while running to high priority at the task manager, that can help you reach a bit higher fps or reduce the stuttering here and there.
20:05 In eastern Europe, you have land(''Prizemlje'' I don't know a better work for it) witch is the bottom, then you have the first and the second floor, just so you know. Love your videos, keep up the good work!
Always SSS Tier content. Pro tip. Not sure if you know what LossLess is but playing stalker GAMMA at 120 fps is somethin else. Lock GAMMA to 60fps and turn up the frame latency to 2 and its buttery smooth
Stupid question but have you enabled the stutter fix under gamma fixes? Should come up when typing stutter into the Mod Organiser as "turn this on if stutter". No idea if it actually works as I can't really tell before/after but you never know!
The stutters could be inherent faults in the engine itself. Vanilla versions of the game always stuttered even on beefy rigs. Its just how it was made lol
Hi, have u installed Arrivall?, i put it in my mods list and work perfect. I only have a dude, after update, a white circle is in right side of mini map, idk what is this ,do u know??
heck yeah You have a scientist suit with 5 belt slots, Q. just use that instead of the freedom armor and stack all your artifacts on it, theyll be better than what you have currently and give you way more anomaly res. And im assuming you already tried the "enable if stuttering" mod in mo2 but ill ask anyways just in case
Try disabling the first two cores in Windows Task Manager. Set affinity and uncheck cpu 0 and 1. This might help with stuttering since stalker only runs on one core and now it's not going to select the first two cores which are used by other windows processes.
Qloud actually has a whole video on how to update. He shows you have to to save all of your setting including the MCM ones. It’s as simple as copying a file and then updating the game and then pasting the file back in. Check his videos he does a much better way of explaining it
I really hope gamma figures out the performance stuff , I can get like 90-100 fps every location besides Jupiter and Zaton . i think my fps drops to like 50 in those areas and i usually build my base In Sultansk so that shit is just super bothersome . I was reading up on this idk if its true but being that stalker / anomaly was made on an older engine , it only needs a few cores but since our new modern cpus have more cores theres only so much performance u can get out of it ? idk i dont really understand cpu cores and caches all that shit
Right!? I'm very glad they released a Stalker 2 but Anomaly/Gamma is just SOOO much more fun and in most aspects "better". I really hope modders are able to give the Anomaly treatment to 2
I have a Core i7 12700kf, 64gb ram at 3600mhz, MSI Z690P motherboard, a 1tb and a 2tb Corsair nvme ssd's and a Palit 4070ti 12gb. I still get stutters periodically on 1440p monitor, I can run Cyberpunk perfectly but not Stalker Gamma, Stalker 2 runs perfectly but not gamma. Maybe it's all the mods the game has running in it that produces stuttering, I don't know. Whether it's a potato or a fairly decent PC game will have its problems.
Can’t wait for grok to remove furniture from traders was so annoying to use traders. Though I do like the aspect of particular factions giving access to furniture. Maybe have traders giving furniture books once you level up there faction could be cool.
Just a few things to point out.
Artifacts
Artifact crafting is best to wait until you reach Jupiter where you can buy the other recipes. Right now you can only craft the low tiers which aren't all that amazing. The Kolobok though is great to swap off/on, the health restoration will save you a ton on healing.
Only fuse/empower artifacts that you will actually use because you need spare artifacts to feed the artifact melter to regain charges.

Always look at BR Class first when upgrading armor. If the Bullet Resist is bad it can be countered with artifacts.
Interesting info thanks for posting!!
Yeah, but you can craft the "Empty" as T1 artifact and it's very powerful.
Don't forget about the disquise system you can go undercover as a ecologist in rostock and get some missions from there or do some hits there

I know there is a mod literally labeled "stuttering". Or something similar. Worked for Drewski back in his ironman run, might work for you!
heck yeah

And im assuming you already tried the "enable if stuttering" mod in mo2 but ill ask anyways just in case
I did the controller kill quest in agroprom
A: I think stutter is just a common thing. I deal with it pretty frequently.
B: how do you turn on the frame counter?
You can enable it through reshade if you add it back into Gamma
@ so you have to re enable the reshade mod thing?
Try disabling the first two cores in Windows Task Manager. Set affinity and uncheck cpu 0 and 1. This might help with stuttering since stalker only runs on one core and now it's not going to select the first two cores which are used by other windows processes.
Which do you prefer EFP or GAMMA. I'm more of a EFP Player.
Try lowering the polling rate to fix the "stuttering" i noticed this in STALKER 2 with an 8k polling mouse. stuttering went away after lowering to 4k!
I will give that a shot, thanks for the tip!
If I update do I have to set all my graphics settings again and all the grass sliders etc?
