Shaders compilation error Thread - S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Anomaly mod for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat

Hello guys,

I have a failed shader compilation after I installed the following mods : Enhanced shaders color garding, Beefs_NVGs (with the patch for Only ES No SSR) , Screen Space Shaders and Atmospherics Anomaly. For the installation, I followed the installation process provided by the Screen Space Shaders mod and I used Mod Organizer. Yes, I did delete the shader cache in AppData. I am running the 1.5.2 version of Anomaly. Here below is the crash log. Can someone help me figure what is the problem ?Many thanks in advance.

Had the same issues.

Short answer is:
1. Reinstall mods that affect shaders.
2. Meddle with check-boxes and if you don't know what that check-box for - LEAVE UNCHECKED!
3. Repeat deleting shader cache and launching Anomaly.
4. Repeat until problem is solved.

Explanation:
If something missing in your modded shader config game freaks out.

Also if everything else fails, backup your user.ltx in Anomaly\appdata and restore the original in launcher.

In short setting up shaders is a pain in the chimera you know what. There is a modpacks that do the heavy lifting for you, but they bundle the stuff you might not want. Pick your poison.

Also also, check if you have all 'gaming software' installed (direct X, visual stuff and so on).

Hi, thanks alot for the answer Sheoji. unfortunately If had no luck to get it working. I just installed GAMMA and everything is working fine !
