Heya!

you mentioned grass density, but is grass distance also high? Try lower that if you boosted that.

grass height doesn't affect performance in any real meaningful way but grass density, distance and grass shadows do.

Also, try disable MSAA as it also has quite a high CPU penalty (in Graphics options -> Advanced -> Disable "Anti Aliasing" and rather use SMAA (just below Anti Aliasing), not as pretty as regular MSAA but performs a lot better.

Another thing you can try:

Open user.ltx (contained in anomaly\appdata) with notepad and try set
r__optimize_dynamic_geom 1
r__optimize_static_geom 1

You mentioned having an AMD RX 6900XT, try DX11 first as it should perform the best on modern systems but if you get random crashes, try DX9, there's a known issue with AMD GPUs on DX11 on all Stalker engines, sadly we don't have a fix for it.

Hope that helps!

Enjoy! :)

hahaha, this old gem :)

Vehtam (from our team) made it, not me.

The backstory behind it: Long ago I asked Vehtam if he could give me a fake_start map with some basic buildings on it because I was working on lightmaps to improve interior lighting and needed a small map to do tests on because compiling the normal, larger maps takes anywhere from 4-27 hours on my PC at the time. This let me test lightmap stuff in about 10mins.

The Meatchunk statue was a little gift he added as a joke :)

All props to Vehtam for doing this map,

Anomaly uses Discord Rich Presence which allows you to show, in your Discord status, that you're playing Anomaly + what level and such. It can be turned on/off in the game menu.

Hey buddy, I seem to recall a few users on our Discord running it fine under Linux in DX11, you should pop in on Discord, you can DM me (because I'll likely forget) and I can try find info others have posted.

If you mean your computer completely shuts down (powers off) then I suspect a hardware issue.

Use Dx9 for AMD GPUs, it's a known issue for some.

beb!

beb!

It's a shader bug, will be fixed in next update.

Do you use an AMD graphics card by any chance? There's been several users reporting random crashes on DX10 and DX11. It's a known issue that affects many Stalker games/mods.

For AMD, try DX9 Enhanced, this should be stable.

We removed the lunar cycle for now because we have our own custom weather system. We may add it in the future but it's not a priority now.

One guy on our Discord said this tweak has helped him but I haven't yet gotten more feedback from long-term usage.

AMD seems to have some strange issue with Anomaly (and other Stalker mods) on DX10/11 but we do not know why yet. The only solution I can suggest is to use DX9 for now.

Someone suggested turning AA off and using FXAA (r2_fxaa) instead and using SDAO helps, but it's pretty random and strange.

In your case, what error do you get exactly?

Do you have an AMD GPU?

Great news)

Hi, if you're on the latest update and still getting this please PM me a savegame where it's lagging and we can have a look.

This sounds like a bad install, please reinstall and use 7zip to extract and make sure you install all parts into the correct folder.

Hi! Are you on the latest update? If so please PM me a savegame at that location.

Fixed for next update)

Ah, I'll speak to our translator guy and ask him to ammend this :) Thanks for letting me know!

It should be above HDAO, HBAO etc

This should be 100% fixed in the latest patch as of, an hour or two ago :)

The grass distance thing is being worked on :)

Heya! We created a bugtracker, would you mind adding them here?

Bitbucket.org

This was done ot help keep track of everything :)
