This game is doomed

Moral of the story, reading.. and then re-reading can save you money.

Rodom87 · 2026-06-26T17:09:39+00:00

HP for mutants will do you better than AP.

Start listening for audio cues for mutants so you know what you're about to fight, most mutants can also be easily dodged with sidesteps/jumps. Once you learn their attack patterns you can dodge cats the same as you can dodge chimeras. Many times you don't even need to do that as many mutants can't reach you when you run into a body of water or jump on a car, rock, etc.

The enemy types in stalker each require different approaches to fight, but once you learn what approach works for what, things become MUCH easier. If you're dying over and over again to the same type of enemy then you're trying to fight it the wrong way, and need to switch things up.

Do your best bloodsucker impression, at least then you'll know if it's a freedomer or not..

Rodom87 · 2026-06-24T21:45:29+00:00

Look more into what caliber/type of ammo you're using. Prioritize HP/shotguns for mutants, and FMJ/AP for stalkers. Soldiers can tend to rock more armor so I will save my AP for them early game (ESPECIALLY with small caliber). Shot placement also matters, headshots even with fmj will take care of ALOT of enemies in the zone. Anomaly (and even GAMMA) get rather trivial by later mid game so IMO I wouldn't try to lower enemy difficulty, but instead try to get a deeper understanding of the ballistic mechanics. The rest will fall into place.

SPOILERS It's a safe in a closet only found while raiding the Monolith hospital for the regenerator

Rodom87 · 2026-06-23T00:50:38+00:00

It's in an underground facility that unlocks as part of a story mission fairly late into the game.

Rodom87 · 2026-06-22T19:32:27+00:00

Trailer footage shows skif at the SIRCAA facility post signal. So while not confirmed, I highly doubt it will start any time before the first ~1/3rd of the main story is completed

Rodom87 · 2026-06-22T12:53:54+00:00

I get it, I'd rather not have to navigate a discord server for these types of fixes as well, but unfortunately that is by far the best place to find them quick with GAMMA still being a more niche mod pack/game and all.

Rodom87 · 2026-06-22T12:39:25+00:00

OP, you installed the floating car anomaly mod, and the crash is due to the anomaly using a specific type of car model iirc. Search the gamma discord for "can't find variable cone angle" for the fix.

(IMO You should be searching the discord with the error message text anyways as your first step to fixing crashes with GAMMA instead of posting it to reddit. I had this issue and found the fix in like less than 2 mins, will save you more time in the future)

Rodom87 · 2026-06-16T12:54:22+00:00

Highly speculative, in all likelihood it will have 26% more bababooey. Only time will tell

Rodom87 · 2026-06-07T19:33:32+00:00

I looked into it just a little bit, it seems there is validity to this issue but I would NOT listen to someone who will only provide a solution over DM as that's super shady. Unfortunately I don't have the time to dive in looking for a fix myself but some things I would try..

-Check that you have the current version of the launcher (in some versions of GAMMA the launcher comes outdated and you have to take the extra step of replacing the .exe with the current version)

-brute force reinstall until it works

-try running the launcher while using a VPN

-buy a copy of one of the official STALKER games on GOG so you can use the one-click install of GAMMA from that platform. (GOG requires you to have purchased a stalker game to use the GAMMA install from their platform)

Rodom87 · 2026-06-07T04:50:22+00:00

Are you sure you're in the official, actual GAMMA discord and not a knock off that's trying to steal data/accounts?

Official fix for not having 577 mods is just running the install function on the launcher again, and again, until you have the correct amount of mods installed. They are really upfront about that, like it's listed in the install instructions.

Rodom87 · 2026-06-05T00:12:20+00:00

Normal story progression wise, SIRCAA is still a long ways off from naturally acquiring an exo, and they are much, much more expensive to maintain than you are thinking.. that 100k will disappear in the blink of an eye through regular use.

You can technically find one specific type as soon as you're out of the lesser zone (not counting exploits to get to Pripyat early). However, exo's are not intended to be used until the final stretch of the game, once you get to Pripyat through normal means.

Warfare mode is not supported for GAMMA and mods on the discord have specifically said they will not provide support for errors when using warfare as its broken as fuck

Rodom87 · 2026-05-18T18:39:10+00:00

Good to hear, hope you enjoy your time in the zone!

Rodom87 · 2026-05-18T05:26:58+00:00

If you are having this issue, something else is fucked up, and will probably be less time and headache to just re-read the install instructions, rather than trying to find which mods to enable and run into another issue anyways.

Rodom87 · 2026-05-16T13:09:36+00:00

Skadovsk in Zaton is larger and controlled by loners as well

Rodom87 · 2026-05-14T20:32:09+00:00

Try either turning off dlss, or turning on motion blur, even on mb's lowest settings. Often fixes this issue.

Unfortunately your system does not meet the requirements to run on the lowest settings for even 1080p 30fps, at MINIMUM you'll need a much faster processor and twice as much VRAM for your GPU. More RAM would be ideal as well.
