It is opened with the 'Home' key in-game.a. Grass ShadowsNormally, ReShade MXAO looks weird when using scopes on lower scope_factor values, as the AO shows up inside the scope itself. Instead, disable MXAO, and enable Grass Shadows from Settings > Visual > Advanced, as well as set MCM > SSS Settings > Shadow Cascades > Grass shadow quality > Medium OR High. It looks drastically different from SSS Grass shadow quality at Low, the default Anomaly value.

CapaCAPA_ReshadeYes10/12/23, 04:20You need "reinline.fx" and "depthHaze.fx" from this link. Console: cfg_load atmosr for Autumn // cfg_load atmos_spring2 for Spring🔗📸How do I install ReShade?

In previous versions, ReShade came pre-installed with GAMMA. After the release of Launcher v6, the 'Delete Reshade .DLLs' option got ticked by default. If you already
updated, head on to \...\GAMMA\.Grok's Modpack Installer\G.A.M.M.A\modpack_patches\bin and retrieve the ReShade files. Put them in \...\Anomaly\bin.

CatsHaveEarsCatsHaveShaders03/12/23, 02:59🔗📸What are ReShade presets?
Presets are an arrangement of effects/settings for ReShade that aim to attain a certain look, in the form of .ini files.
They are made by the members of the community.

CS EdenEdenReshadeYes07/12/23, 10:37🔗📸How do I install presets?
For .ini files: Drop inside \...\Anomaly\bin. Sometimes the author will include extra steps or files, so read their post carefully before installing.
b. Grass Height/Density TrickUse higher Grass Height instead of Density under Settings > Visual > Advanced to achieve a dense flora effect. Height does not only change the actual height of grass, but the base scale of each grass texture, meaning grass that is normally hidden even with high density will show up with higher Grass Height. There is no need to use super high values for density or radius. Bump up Grass Height to 0.8 - 1.0 instead.

HippobotAtmosYesYes07/12/23, 07:38🔗📸3. Go back to \...\Anomaly\bin and paste the files, replace when asked.c. An Example of Good Grass ValuesInsert the following commands into the console (tilde key in-game ['~']) one by one: r__detail_height 1.0 r__detail_density 0.24 r__detail_radius 110. Instead of restarting the game to see changes, insert the command vid_restart into the console. After doing so, press Esc to pause/unpause the game, do this a couple of times in quick succession. If you don't do this, you'll end up with a CTD when Alt-Tabbing or toggling ReShade effects.

AtmosRYesYes08/12/23, 08:02🔗📸What affects performance most?
Some of the most taxing effects are, in order from most to least taxing: 1. TFAA with DRME / Motionvectors 2. DLAA 3. iMMERSE MXAO 4. GloomAO 5. MXAO
11
AtmosR+YesYes03/12/23, 02:00🔗📸What are the best effects for anti-aliasing?First, disable AA or SMAA under Settings > Visual > Advanced. They might break the ReShade depth buffer which will lead to unwanted effects. If you leave the base GAMMA MSAA or SMAA active, don't be surprised if your ReShade looks wrong.

Instead, use the better and faster ReShade anti-aliasing options, going from most to least FPS demanding:
1. TFAA (with Motionvectors or DRME) 2. iMMERSE SMAA 3. HoleFiller 4. FXAA 5. SMAA 6. CMAA_2
12
AtmosR++YesYes03/12/23, 02:00🔗📸d. HoleFiller Instead of TFAA for Good Anti-Shimmer and High PerformanceAfter following the advice in the last FAQ answer, you will have a new ReShade effect called "HoleFiller". Activate this effect and put it at the top of the list, and combine it with some other light AA effect like iMMERSE SMAA. This will allow you to avoid shimmering, without having to use TFAA at all.

14
AtmosFILMYesYes07/12/23, 07:38🔗📸What is LUT? The easiest way to explain it is this: LUT are filters that change the color of your image. They allow you to change the intensity of the color or the brightness with only two sliders, that way you can tune the filter to your liking. These LUT files are ALWAYS included by the preset authors, and are a simple .png file that goes inside \...\bin\reshade-shaders\textures\.

16
AtmosRaltYesYes06/12/23, 12:18🔗📸What is TFAA?TFAA is the best anti-aliasing solution for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. It removes the annoying shimmering bushes/trees tend to have, however it can consume upwards of 20 FPS. To use TFAA, you MUST place and activate either "DRME" or "Motionvectors" directly above TFAA. Only DRME or Motionvectors should be active at any given moment, since activating both does nothing but drain FPS. This is because TFAA uses the information sent by one of the two effects to work properly.
DRME is heavier but more accurate, while Motionvectors is faster but less accurate. You can further improve DRME or Motionvectors accuracy by setting them to "FullRes" in their bottom-most setting values.

KyraxKyraxs_Zone_Aydins_Winter04/12/23, 08:02🔗📸How to activate TFAA? (Stable method)You won't see TFAA by default in your effects list. Open the ReShade menu with the 'Home' key, then head on to the 'Settings' tab. Add a new line under "Effects search paths", and put this into the field: .\reshade-shaders\Shaders\TFAA\
After you've done this, go back to the default tab and press the 'Refresh' button at the bottom of the list, so that TFAA.fx appears.

Kyraxs_Zone_DoF08/12/23, 08:02Same as Kyraxs_Zone, but with Depth of Field effects.🔗📸How do I show ALL the hidden effects? (Requires clean reshade-shaders folder with no duplicate effects)This method will show ALL the effects that are normally hidden in default GAMMA, including TFAA and HoleFiller. In-game, open the ReShade menu with the 'Home' key, then head on to the 'Settings' tab. Under 'Effects search paths', remove ALL the lines, but DO NOT DELETE THE ONE THAT SAYS "TEXTURE SEARCH PATH", and then add this instead: .\reshade-shaders\Shaders\**

After you've done this, go back to the default tab and press the 'Refresh' button at the bottom of the list.
