Do not install mods that i linked in the video description if you use Provak 2.5 or 2.6 They do not work with new Provak version as he already included those mods in 2.6 update. Just download Provak 2.6 on his channel and you are good to go.
Dear Dario ! You did a super extra magnificent job with this video ! This is a true professional approach when you not just tell, but also show how graphic settings affect the game ! Thank you !
If you dont have a high end gaming rig i would sugest to keep the static objects and dynamic objects to 3/4, or else you will get huge fps drops on most maps. I newer go max on those settings with all the mods that Anomaly uses now. Also be careful with grass density and grass radius...it can kill the fps. Rest of the options are easy on the sistem if you have a decent graphic card. This game needs a fast cpu due to it being a single core game. I just upgraded to i7 5Ghz from my old i5 3,4ghz and gonna test it now
Man! I thought you had some sweet high spec Gamer PC but a 3rd gen i5 and a 1070! I bet that 8gb of VRAM really helps everything. I love you videos! Anomaly scratches something in my head that these online PVP games have never done in the thousands of hours ive played them. THANK YOU!
@@matiasspesot7884 @Matias Spesot Oh wow, I wonder what my PC is then if that is high end. Really puts things in another perspective to hear that, cause I consider my hardware low-end by now. I guess I should be less greedy. DNcXbqO.png (copy&paste from my Steam profile). Just add that to the end of the Imgur URL. That's my specs. I currently play with almost everything maxed, about 40 GBs of mods and a Reshade shader called Pascal Gilcher's Ray Tracing. I get around 55 - 100 FPS depending on where I am, but I always want more. 55 is too low..
Hello Dario, A huge thank you for all the work put into this video. It's been a while since someone went through all Anomaly Setting on RUclips with video examples of different levels, and none at all when it comes to Provak's Build. I am VERY well aware of how much time it takes to tweak one thing, save, exit, reboot game, load save, and test, and RECORD. Again a huge thank you, this is what I needed to get myself to play STALKER again. I have at least 5-6 full playthroughs of Anomaly, but even with a decent pc and card, getting the game to run at least at a solid 60 without constant 3-5 fps dips every 5 seconds is quite a challenge to overcome. This was extremely thorough, and very much appreciated by me. Thumbs Up! 👍
This is an awesome video thank you! Edit: Also thank you for pointing out the difference between stalker and other shooters that makes Stalker so unique and great!
Wow, I had never heard of this mod. Shadow of Chernobyl has been installed on every single machine I've owned/built since it came out - no exaggeration - so I'm going to be giving this a try, if only for the 64-bit support. I've never seen it looking this good and running so smoothly.
Tessellation in Anomaly gives more bumps in the ground so that it doesnt look at flat and boring. Nothing like the super detailed enhancements that it does in modern games, but it does enough to keep the ground from being very uninteresting along roads and other areas devoid of objects. It could be doing more, but this is just what I noticed.
This..... Is exactly what I need! Thank you for providing your video tutorial, now I don't need to bite my fingers because of envy with your gameplay 😆
Contrary to popular belief, Anomaly's native antialiasing _does_ work properly in 1.5.1... ...The issue is that Anomaly's vanilla textures are simply too low-res to make 8X look much different to 2X or even AA disabled. The effect becomes most obvious on higher monitor resolutions (or using DSR/VSR) with a high-res texture overhaul installed. But you _can_ notice the effect while looking at power lines. Nothing can be done for the pixelated low-res foliage though. A lack of pixels is a lack of pixels!
Thanks for this video man, i have a mid/high grade pc but am semi-new to pc gaming and modding and I was having issues with performance after adding some pretty basic mods. Going from 130 FPS to 80 to 20 back to 120. Stuttering etc. So I watched this and tried your setting and not only does the game look wayyyyy better but it actually runs at 140fps consistently now. 🤙
One thing you did not mention is the display mode. Setting it to borderless will prevent micro stuttering. Also, disabling grass shadows will drastically increase FPS.
Can't wait for Reshade tutorial :) Your build is absolutely stunning and atmospheric. However my raw aggressor reshade got some blue'ish colors. I guess the part 2 will solve the problems :)
We need a mod that enables higher rank Stalkers to use NV goggles. Or at least simulate that. Picking off Stalkers at night is almost too easy with the head lamps on. Great videos man.
Really good video, I have been waiting for this. Maybe you should briefly go over the other mods you are using in the next video. Like I believe you are using the anomaly skybox mod as well it looks like.

Would you happen to have a video for Expedition 2.2? Trying to figure out if to mod vanilla stalker like u did, or to do my expedition 2.2 like u did. Not sure.
No, don't have a video for expedition 2.2 I'm just uploading a video form my modpack ULTRA ZONE, it's gonna have a links to download the game and all the mods already installed.
I have the VEGA 64 8GB and Ryzen 7 2700X with 32GB of RAM, unless I set the game to DX9 and low settings, I can't hit a consistent 60FPS much less anything more. I have grass shadows off as thats a big one most mention to try. I figured with my hardware I'd be able to run it at higher settings with consistent performance
Sure memory is faster than hard drive so long as u have enough memory to last you. Ive been playing for a bit now, and i coudlnt disagree more about precaching. I listened to your advice the first time i stumbled across this video. But as i would add mods or shader, or tinker with things in general, i was creating a lot load time bloat. I looked into it and everyone was suggesting, either turn off the precaching completely via a shortcut command and something else. Or play with 10-15 min long load times. I could possibly bear to even wait say 5 mins on a quick save. Imagine trying to do some hectic perfectly precise run through a base of enemies for fun/practice/efficiency it dont matter. But you have to retry on average every lets be generous 45 seconds and then your gonna wanna snap ur fingers and get back into the action so u can practice/keep trying. I think even if i only had to wait 3 mins id still opt for having stutter over waiting that long to get back into my game.
I'm rocking a i7-3770 and an RX 5700xt. I can't even reach 60 fps. 16gb ddr3. Windows 10, dx11. (Would running it in compatibility mode for windows 7 work better? Whats your average FPS? I'm usually 45-50 with grass sliders turned all the way down. 35 in Rookie Village if I have grass in the middle. I'm also running the game in VSR, virtual screen resolution, in 1440p because the trees "sparkle" no matter what I do in 1080p and its terribly distracting. Any other methods to boost fps?
Its cinematic vfx mod, link is in the video description, i use Crazy edition from that mod, than the muzzle flashes and bullet hits are like shooting a 50cal riffle
There is no fix for that, its a limit with the engine and the picture in picture design of the scope render. It will always drop fps when aiming with those 3d scopes
@@cinemadario One more question, please - I downloaded the particles remade fx linked above and it crashed Anomaly every time I pulled the trigger. I have latest version off of Provak's page with latest patch, etc. Any idea why this is happening? I deleted gamedata and reinstalled Provak's and everything worked fine again. I'm wondering if I am missing a step? Thank you in advance.
@@Shauddi are you using provak 2.4 or 2.5 I use this with 2.4... have not yet played 2.5 so i can't comment on that. Maybe 2.5 already has some particle mod installed so its not compatible with particle remade in the link
Does your game dip below 60fps sometimes? I have a 2070S and an 3800x but when there's more than 3 people shooting it will sometimes dip to 50fps. Normally I get 70-120
@@Daniel-jz6yf Nice to hear. I thought I was going insane hearing people on the discord saying they got no issues lol. Turns out most of em run laptops or older pc's and might have a different definiton of smooth gameplay.
This is interesting because I have basically the same cpu as you but a new cpu and 16gigs of ram but putting the exact same settings im running around with like 40-50 fps, mind you im playing on 1440p. Which settings would you say are most taxing on fps? thanks for the video!
Most taxing are in rendering distance section; World (i always keep slider below half) Static objects (keep it at 3/4) Dynamic objects (at 3/4) Grass density and grass radius Density keep max at 80% or lower Resolution plays a huge impact on fps. Higher resolution taxes Cpu and this game is already demanding on Cpu due to lots of AI in the Zone. Thats why i never wanted to buy big Monitor for 2k or 4k resolution. I would rather play on 1080p and have almost all video effects on max than just playing in 4k and reducing most options just to maintain decent fps Remove the AI and this game runs like a charm. Population of AI can impact fps. Stalker uses Alife sistem and that is why the game feels alive but it taxes the cpu. Other games have beautiful graphic and run fine but the Ai is retarded and the world feels scripted and empty or boring
@@cinemadario awesome thanks for the info I’ll mess with my settings and see what happens but so far I think as u said the grass was the main culprit, I thought lighting.
Hey I was wondering, my AA option is a slider not a drop down menu like yours and also it can only go to 1 and not disabled. Very odd! Any ideas? Also Im getting pretty great frames but on low settings. If i turn AA off I could probably go higher!
@@cinemadario At first i installed pROvAK's mod. Then i installend Agressor. I play on DX11. But i still got this exeption. Have an idea, that i download old version of pROvAK mod, cause he dropped new video few days ago and there was a new link with biggest file size.
@@cinemadario As i thinked. Downloaded newest version of pROvAK's mod, and now it's working. Anyway, thank you for the videos, cause they inspired me to install mods on Anomaly )
Question. Can i run these advanced settings without using direct 11? Im running a AMD Radeon 5600 xt and whenever i tried all this it completely shit my game out, leading me to have to completely reinstall it all. Would all this work with direct 10?
@@FernandoPerez-yu9ip Yeah but this is a older game engine so I'm not sure how good it is with currant drivers. Sounds like with his 1070 he couldn't run 1440p smoothly so I wasn't sure considering the 1080ti isn't vastly superior to it.
@@TheParaxore his settings are pretty much ultra though. The grass and a lot of the shit he has turned on will spank your FPS, and he’s using reshade and stuff as well. It might run good at 1440p on yours even with all these settings turned on ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ As for the drivers, the Anomaly devs adapted the X-ray engine used in the original games into their own 64-bit version and it runs on modern systems beautifully.
@@FernandoPerez-yu9ip It is not. My two 2080 Super and i9-10900k can barely max out most games now at 1440p. For that you need a 3090, and even that struggles when you max out AA. If nvidia just handn't killed SLI then two 3090's would've been enough, now every new game is the next Crysis because no graphics card can max out anything with MSAA at 8x. That's imo the minimum. I hate jaggies.
I can always see the difference when it's off, i had that option on high even in Stalker Call of Chernobyl with an old GTX 660 ti and was running the game easy with good fps
@@cinemadario Strange. I have a 2080 Ti, i9 9900K and 32GB of RAM and if i have SSAO on max settings then my FPS drops from 60 to 30 or less but only on big maps like zaton.
@@Apocryphox just reduce dynamic objects to half on that map and it will run just fine...its mostly affected by having HD models and lots of npc around skadrovsk ship. My fps drop only if i look towards the ship, but not so much when i have Dinamyc objects to half, on other maps i set it to max expect on Zaton and Rostok
You think I'd be able to run identical settings as you? I have gtx 970 with 4gb vram which Im worried might be an issue, i5 4590 and 12gb ram Although I play at 900p (1600x900) So you think it would run smoothly?
@@cinemadario With reshade (only Ambient Lightning on) and slightly tuned down settings (render distance and such) it runs on around 50fps in Rostok and 60-120fps in most less populated areas. Although it stutters sometimes, even tho I have it installed on ssd. My guess why it was happening was that 4 cores simply weren't enough, anyways it isn't really that much of an issue as it mostly happens shortly after entering new location and then it's fine afterwards
im getting weird dots all over my screen, as if it was a 1990's TV, anyone know the cause? ive played around with the graphics but still doesnt change much
@@cinemadario had it disabled and still there, I reinstalled the game and checked, done full settings that’s set in this video and it’s gone now, really confused about it though
Ugh...I have an OCed GTX 1070, Ryzen 5 2600, 16GB of RAM so basically it's a little bit faster than your PC in terms of single core performance (which matter to Stalker a lot) and like for like for the rest. I can't make this pig of a game run at stable framerates on Rostok. I use Enhanced Shaders and SSR mod along with HD Models and Agressor Re-Shade. Neither of them really make the CPU work hard and that's what's pegged on Rostok all of the time with one core being loaded to 100%. Can you tell me what your performance is like on Rostok?
Reduce World distance view to 1/3 And biggest fps hit is because of all the Npc's in a small area. Just reduce Dynamic Objects to half in the video setting and that should help the fps on Rostok. I was having problems on that map also and that helped.
@@cinemadario Thanks, I actually figured something out. I used a mod for glowing anomalies to see them better and it caused massive fps hit on Rostok because there's a whole bunch of anomalies behind one fence near water towers or whatever. No matter what settings I used I was hitting low 30s constantly. After I deactivated it I'm getting 45-50 on Rostok and I guess I won't be able to get better and I don't want to sacrifice visuals so yeah, I'm satisfied for now. After all it's not a combat area really.
I have Ryzen 7 3700x,32GB of ram and RTX 3080. And I have fps drops all the time. I play on 1440p. I thing big fps drops are caused by NPC-s. If I look at base with alot of NPC-s fps drops to 30. Look other way 100+.... I dont know what to do?
Yes, it's caused by HD npc's Go to video options and set view distance 1/3 Set dynamic objects to 3/4 Set static objects to 3/4 All other options can be on max and you should be good.
@@ptahkhnemu3295 i don't have that kinda problem and i have an old 3rd gen i5 and gtx 1070, i fixed it by reducing view distance and dynamic view to 3/4

Go to Provak channel, its all explained there, his Overhaul is a mash of all mods, from new weapons, sounds, animations, new zombies, textures, trading system, weather revamp, music, ect, the list is long.

I looked into it and everyone was suggesting, either turn off the precaching completely via a shortcut command and something else. Or play with 10-15 min long load times. I could possibly bear to even wait say 5 mins on a quick save.
Imagine trying to do some hectic perfectly precise run through a base of enemies for fun/practice/efficiency it dont matter. But you have to retry on average every lets be generous 45 seconds and then your gonna wanna snap ur fingers and get back into the action so u can practice/keep trying.
I think even if i only had to wait 3 mins id still opt for having stutter over waiting that long to get back into my game.
I'm rocking a i7-3770 and an RX 5700xt. I can't even reach 60 fps. 16gb ddr3. Windows 10, dx11. (Would running it in compatibility mode for windows 7 work better?
Whats your average FPS?
I'm usually 45-50 with grass sliders turned all the way down. 35 in Rookie Village if I have grass in the middle.
I'm also running the game in VSR, virtual screen resolution, in 1440p because the trees "sparkle" no matter what I do in 1080p and its terribly distracting.
Any other methods to boost fps?
Это легендарная игра.
Best!
Hey dario about the Agressor Reshade,is it ok to not like insert the Agressor Grass file into Anonaly textures?
Grass is optional in Agressor reshade, you don't need to use it
Oh thanks dar
i have installed provaks too, but i dont see the blood clouds where bullets hits the enemies, thats from other addon? maybe hollywood fx?
Its cinematic vfx mod, link is in the video description, i use Crazy edition from that mod, than the muzzle flashes and bullet hits are like shooting a 50cal riffle
Did someone faced bug, when veles detector doesn't show artifact on screen?
Nice Video !!! can i play this on my pc i guess not :( i got Ryzen 3 2200g , Rx580 8gb, 16gig ram
my cpu is not that good
Do you have any advice for fixing the FPS drop when using certain scopes? I always lose 50% frames when I scope in with certain weapons
There is no fix for that, its a limit with the engine and the picture in picture design of the scope render.
It will always drop fps when aiming with those 3d scopes
@@cinemadario Thanks - unfortunate but a small price to pay for such an excellent, immersive game.
@@cinemadario One more question, please - I downloaded the particles remade fx linked above and it crashed Anomaly every time I pulled the trigger. I have latest version off of Provak's page with latest patch, etc. Any idea why this is happening? I deleted gamedata and reinstalled Provak's and everything worked fine again. I'm wondering if I am missing a step? Thank you in advance.
@@Shauddi are you using provak 2.4 or 2.5
I use this with 2.4... have not yet played 2.5 so i can't comment on that.
Maybe 2.5 already has some particle mod installed so its not compatible with particle remade in the link
@@cinemadario Thank you, and that makes sense. I am using 2.5 - that must be the issue. Appreciate the quick response.
Does your game dip below 60fps sometimes? I have a 2070S and an 3800x but when there's more than 3 people shooting it will sometimes dip to 50fps. Normally I get 70-120
Yeah that’s normal. I have a 2060 and an i5 9400f and I’m sitting at around 100fps, but dips into the 50s when there’s a lot of stuff going on.
@@Daniel-jz6yf Nice to hear. I thought I was going insane hearing people on the discord saying they got no issues lol. Turns out most of em run laptops or older pc's and might have a different definiton of smooth gameplay.
@@Zazquatch0 haha glad I could help
This is interesting because I have basically the same cpu as you but a new cpu and 16gigs of ram but putting the exact same settings im running around with like 40-50 fps, mind you im playing on 1440p. Which settings would you say are most taxing on fps? thanks for the video!
Most taxing are in rendering distance section;
World (i always keep slider below half)
Static objects (keep it at 3/4)
Dynamic objects (at 3/4)
Grass density and grass radius
Density keep max at 80% or lower
Resolution plays a huge impact on fps.
Higher resolution taxes Cpu and this game is already demanding on Cpu due to lots of AI in the Zone.
Thats why i never wanted to buy big Monitor for 2k or 4k resolution.
I would rather play on 1080p and have almost all video effects on max than just playing in 4k and reducing most options just to maintain decent fps
Remove the AI and this game runs like a charm.
Population of AI can impact fps.
Stalker uses Alife sistem and that is why the game feels alive but it taxes the cpu.
Other games have beautiful graphic and run fine but the Ai is retarded and the world feels scripted and empty or boring
@@cinemadario awesome thanks for the info I’ll mess with my settings and see what happens but so far I think as u said the grass was the main culprit, I thought lighting.
Just wondering if I could use this in Call of Pripyat. Currently playing with absolute nature 4 and gunslinger
I don't think it worka for CoP
Thanks for your time mate, good video tho
Hey I was wondering, my AA option is a slider not a drop down menu like yours and also it can only go to 1 and not disabled. Very odd! Any ideas? Also Im getting pretty great frames but on low settings. If i turn AA off I could probably go higher!
What pc specs do you have?
What about the avx option? Things to fix stuttering?
Installed same mods, but have an "Shader complication failed" exeption on launch. Tryed to clear cache, but it doesn't helps.
Shader is so simple to install, do you use Agressor?
You have an install video tutorial on part 2 video.
Do you play on direct x11?
@@cinemadario At first i installed pROvAK's mod. Then i installend Agressor. I play on DX11. But i still got this exeption. Have an idea, that i download old version of
pROvAK mod, cause he dropped new video few days ago and there was a new link with biggest file size.
@@cinemadario As i thinked. Downloaded newest version of pROvAK's mod, and now it's working. Anyway, thank you for the videos, cause they inspired me to install mods on Anomaly )
Hi bro could you please help, will you answer but I will ask what is your build at the time of this video?
It's in the video description
Question. Can i run these advanced settings without using direct 11? Im running a AMD Radeon 5600 xt and whenever i tried all this it completely shit my game out, leading me to have to completely reinstall it all. Would all this work with direct 10?
If i can run those same settings on direct10 it would be awesome but as soon as i followed everything here it completely shit my game
@@BlindCaveGoblin1 maybe some video setting does not support dx10
Try to delete user ltx and reset the video settings
Damn this looks beautiful, I wonder if I could get smooth performance at 1440p with a 1080ti, 8700K, and 16gb of ram?
Are you kidding bro? Thats enough to Playa lot of games at 1440p 100 fps highest settings
@@FernandoPerez-yu9ip Yeah but this is a older game engine so I'm not sure how good it is with currant drivers. Sounds like with his 1070 he couldn't run 1440p smoothly so I wasn't sure considering the 1080ti isn't vastly superior to it.
@@TheParaxore his settings are pretty much ultra though. The grass and a lot of the shit he has turned on will spank your FPS, and he’s using reshade and stuff as well. It might run good at 1440p on yours even with all these settings turned on ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
As for the drivers, the Anomaly devs adapted the X-ray engine used in the original games into their own 64-bit version and it runs on modern systems beautifully.
@@FernandoPerez-yu9ip It is not. My two 2080 Super and i9-10900k can barely max out most games now at 1440p. For that you need a 3090, and even that struggles when you max out AA. If nvidia just handn't killed SLI then two 3090's would've been enough, now every new game is the next Crysis because no graphics card can max out anything with MSAA at 8x. That's imo the minimum. I hate jaggies.
Why turn SSAO on? It eats almost half of the FPS and don't make much difference in graphical details.
I can always see the difference when it's off, i had that option on high even in Stalker Call of Chernobyl with an old GTX 660 ti and was running the game easy with good fps
@@cinemadario Strange. I have a 2080 Ti, i9 9900K and 32GB of RAM and if i have SSAO on max settings then my FPS drops from 60 to 30 or less but only on big maps like zaton.
@@Apocryphox just reduce dynamic objects to half on that map and it will run just fine...its mostly affected by having HD models and lots of npc around skadrovsk ship.
My fps drop only if i look towards the ship, but not so much when i have Dinamyc objects to half, on other maps i set it to max expect on Zaton and Rostok
@@cinemadario Ty. ♥
You think I'd be able to run identical settings as you? I have gtx 970 with 4gb vram which Im worried might be an issue, i5 4590 and 12gb ram
Although I play at 900p (1600x900)
So you think it would run smoothly?
Without reshade it could do ok.
Test and see, cpu is good, just test the graphic effects and hod the gpu handles it
@@cinemadario With reshade (only Ambient Lightning on) and slightly tuned down settings (render distance and such) it runs on around 50fps in Rostok and 60-120fps in most less populated areas. Although it stutters sometimes, even tho I have it installed on ssd. My guess why it was happening was that 4 cores simply weren't enough, anyways it isn't really that much of an issue as it mostly happens shortly after entering new location and then it's fine afterwards
What's your mod load order?
im getting weird dots all over my screen, as if it was a 1990's TV, anyone know the cause? ive played around with the graphics but still doesnt change much
Are you using agressor reshade?
@@cinemadario yessir, literally just watched your video and thought I’d try it myself
@@Shakeyballzz open the reshade menu and disable option SSDO and see if the dots disappear
@@cinemadario had it disabled and still there, I reinstalled the game and checked, done full settings that’s set in this video and it’s gone now, really confused about it though
@@cinemadario and I wanted to ask, is provaks mod pack a good one to get? Seen it around but I’ve no clue how much it actually offers
Ugh...I have an OCed GTX 1070, Ryzen 5 2600, 16GB of RAM so basically it's a little bit faster than your PC in terms of single core performance (which matter to Stalker a lot) and like for like for the rest. I can't make this pig of a game run at stable framerates on Rostok. I use Enhanced Shaders and SSR mod along with HD Models and Agressor Re-Shade. Neither of them really make the CPU work hard and that's what's pegged on Rostok all of the time with one core being loaded to 100%. Can you tell me what your performance is like on Rostok?
Reduce World distance view to 1/3
And biggest fps hit is because of all the Npc's in a small area.
Just reduce Dynamic Objects to half in the video setting and that should help the fps on Rostok.
I was having problems on that map also and that helped.
@@cinemadario Thanks, I actually figured something out. I used a mod for glowing anomalies to see them better and it caused massive fps hit on Rostok because there's a whole bunch of anomalies behind one fence near water towers or whatever. No matter what settings I used I was hitting low 30s constantly. After I deactivated it I'm getting 45-50 on Rostok and I guess I won't be able to get better and I don't want to sacrifice visuals so yeah, I'm satisfied for now. After all it's not a combat area really.
I have Ryzen 7 3700x,32GB of ram and RTX 3080. And I have fps drops all the time. I play on 1440p. I thing big fps drops are caused by NPC-s. If I look at base with alot of NPC-s fps drops to 30. Look other way 100+....
I dont know what to do?
Yes, it's caused by HD npc's
Go to video options and set view distance 1/3
Set dynamic objects to 3/4
Set static objects to 3/4
All other options can be on max and you should be good.
@@cinemadario Nope. Still the same. I changed resolution to 1080p but nothing. This is engine related...
Too bad,I really liked Anomaly😔
@@ptahkhnemu3295 i don't have that kinda problem and i have an old 3rd gen i5 and gtx 1070, i fixed it by reducing view distance and dynamic view to 3/4

how do you install 4K HD textures?
why u use provak overhaul 2.4 but not 2.5?
can you make a modpack? like expand on even more than just weapons and hd models? maybe completely overhaul the game?
Go to Provak channel, its all explained there, his Overhaul is a mash of all mods, from new weapons, sounds, animations, new zombies, textures, trading system, weather revamp, music, ect, the list is long.
I think that new Provak 2.5 has even more stuff in it so you don't need any additional mods, but i have not tested it yet
@@cinemadario His modpack is just weapons it says?
@@usonlyus7148 it's lot more than that, i thought the same for version 2.4 and i was surprised at how much stuff i got with the overhaul
btw, some weapons don`t shoot, have any idea how to fix it ? specially hand guns.
According to provak some weapons have the safety on by default and in order to fix that you just have to change the firing mode.
@@wrestlingfanman22 safety on? , That's something perfect for RP :)

Fucking love it, you're over here with a stupid fucking amount of add-ons and I can't even get 4 going without making another not work anymore.

does anyone know if i can use these same settings on direct 10? I tried everything on this video and the game wouldnt even start when i switched to direct 11. never had an issue with direct10 and everything was fine until i put it in direct 11
Strange, my game had problems on dx10
Why does your version look so much different from mine?
My game keeps crashing because of "npc_inventory" because it can't find the "release_ammo" or something.
What version of the game are you using and what mods?
@@cinemadario Anomaly 1.5.1, Provak 2.5, no mods, I think I fixed it though, I forgot to dowbload the patch that Provak provided in his most recent video, I also followed your settings guide and fixed some visual bugs aswell, thank you for that, if I get any more crashs I'll get back at you.
