The Passive-Aggressive Guide to installing STALKER GAMMA

THIS VIDEO IS SLOWLY GETTING OUTDATED, especially with the latest launcher release. Follow the steps on the discord, and watch this for entertainment purposes I guess xD

A quick, easy, step-by-step, dummy-proof tutorial on how to install STALKER GAMMA (patch 0.9.1). The more I was recording this video the more sassy I was getting, so I just decided to embrace it. This is a real install guide, I'm not just complaining about people unable to follow a basic set of instructions. And if you truly have issues after doing everything correctly, the discord is here. Cheers guys :)

You are saving my helpers so much headaches with this video, thanks a lot 😀

[BlissfulZen]

And just like that, the vid is now part of the official how to install section of the Gamma discord! You are doing the community a massive service with this man, well done!

"If you don't get the prompt, congratulation. You fucked up already" ... That had me on the floor dying, idk why. Love this dude's honesty. Keep it up xD

Hi Cheeki, I'm a moderator from the G.A.M.M.A. server (and I'm also in the video since I wrote the how-to-install, hello YouTube!)

I just wanted to congratulate you on how you structured the video and how you showed that installing G.A.M.M.A. really isn't an impossible task, you just have to put in five minutes of reading.

You even explained how to update (I literally rewrote the whole procedure from scratch making it more understandable literally three days ago) and you even explained what to do if you have problems with the "Large Files" zip file! Our helpers are your fans (they told me to tell you) and so am I, you did an amazing and flawless job, we are speechless.
I added your video to the top of the how-to-install channel, thanks to you, from today, people will have no more excuses for not upgrading Anomaly to version 1.5.2., or for having Anomaly and GAMMA inside one single folder, and I could go on and on hahahah

The only note (which in truth is a nitpick, not even a real problem, professional deformation) is that it is not absolutely necessary to call the folders "GAMMA ANOMALY INSTALL" and "GAMMA FILES", it can only complicate things, you can call the respective folders "Anomaly" and "GAMMA", less confusion for everyone.

Other than this, I thank you on behalf of the whole team, it's a 10/10 video, I can also safely confirm that you lurk the server and never say a word (lol), so whenever you want, show up :)

- THIS VIDEO IS SLOWLY GETTING OUTDATED, especially with the latest launcher release. Follow the steps on the discord, and watch this for entertainment purposes I guess xD
- The "downloads" archive is optional for the install, if you don't have them don't worry and just proceed with the next steps.
- First time 7zip users, uncheck the first box to the left when extracting the files, the one right under the destination. Otherwise it will create a folder inside the folder with all the files. (Thanks @Snigismund !)

You know what I like the most about this guide? You included how to save the settings for when people update the game. When i played for the first time I was redoing the settings every time until I discovered how to save them.

I thought that the mod was gonna be super difficult to install, but after carefully reading and following the instructions on the discord server, it was super easy to do and when the new update came out it was also easy to update. It's actually amazing how well organized everything is for what is a free mod.

[scavengedgaming]

Just wanted to mention a small tip that saved me hours - Once you have downloaded everything and have selected an 'instance' and are letting Gamma update itself, open your task manager and put Gamma Download's on high priority. Went from 6 hours to around an hour for me.

[Snigismund]

If this is your first time ever using 7zip on your pc, Then when you extract the files to the anomaly folders you need to uncheck the first box to the left, The one right under the destination. otherwise it will create an folder inside the folder with all the files ind. after you have unchecked it once it will stay unchecked.

Man
An actual quality installation guide, that we ended up adding it to the #how to install guide.

One thing I'm not pleased about is the addition of the largefiles gdrive link into the description.

My mirror is already getting overused as is... and now this video will definitely make it hit the download limit xD

Hey, great work comrade. Been following some of your videos since I first played vanilla Stalker anomaly, a few years ago, and after a year I decide it to take a break from Anomaly and finally come back today. Gamma was in my radar for quite some time, and Im pleased to play this game again with such an wonderful modpack. It totally melts my brain for all the effort put together to release a full compilation of the best mods in a single package. It revamps the whole aspects of the game itself, its perfect and it works fine. Thanks for the amazing tutorial, it really helps a lot, and for the team of Grok Gamma. You guys are awesome, love and respect from Brazil comrades.

Im convinced this is the best guide there is, I'm digging the passive-aggression in this!

During my own (ongoing) attempt to install GAMMA I found a cool feature of one of the download websites. It turns out if you click one of the download links just right and ignore like 1 message one of the websites actually puts a real-life anomaly onto your hard drive. The anomaly has some sort of supernatural powers which let it install dozens of artifacts onto your PC which have neat effects like giving you random popup messages all the time. 10/10 immersion and I haven't even started downloading the mod yet. That or I'm a complete idiot who clicked the wrong link and had something fill my PC with random crap that took a while to clean up, one of the two.

[TolkienWhiteGuy]

Glad you made this. I was getting tired of seeing people bitching that their game is borked because of their NPC brain rot.

[THighthorn]

I just installed this latest patch after a year off Gamma and holy damn this mod has been improved.

[Gbag]

For anyone who follows the steps exactly and for some reason still has many errors appear within the CMD window (the step at 5:28), and you are missing entire mods or parts of mods. Simply, repeat this step again. Close everything, relaunch the GAMMA launcher as Administrator, leave the 4 boxes checked, and click the install/update button once again. The installer will go through and repair any issues that happened during the (5:28) step. I followed this exactly and would crash upon starting a new game because a handful of mods didn’t install correctly. The fix for me was to simply redo this step. I didn’t have to clear or delete any files. Simply repeat the step and the installer will update over the missing and damaged files if you have any. Hope this helps anyone who has the same issue I did.

I figured it out on my own, definitely it paid off. I am now at the war with Sin with the best gear - SVD PMC and a AK-5C that I stripped of a Monolith corpse and then overtime repaired

[merkmisfit]

You sir have somehow made the most dummy-proof tutorial I have ever seen and I consider myself to be quite "challenged" at times, thank you for your help, and happy hunting stalker.

[kAt-mqjs]

IDK why am i watching this, i guess your voice is calming.

[skinnyhinny]

I was having trouble getting it to run because I was being an idiot but the added sarcasm in this video saved my ass. Really people, if you literally follow the instructions, 'it just works' :)
