[wise needle]

i thought nanite was nvidia tech?

[candid sapphire]

nah it's ue5

one of the reasons why it's so cpu sided i think

[wise needle]

i thought you could only use nanite in u5 if you had nvidia gpu

[candid sapphire]

the only gpu bounded tech by nvidia is dlss

i think

maybe something else

but nanite

nope it's ue5, not gpu side

[radiant axle]

ik nvidia has dedicated unreal branches for raytracing (NvRTX) https://developer.nvidia.com/game-engines/unreal-engine/rtx-branch

not sure how much it compete with "vanilla" unreal

[wise needle]

is it possible to bundle the mod into a encrypted usd file that way no one can tamper with the mod

i will look into it and try it out

the game loads a usd on boot

[radiant axle]

Don't think the OpenUSD standard provides anything for that. There is the USDZ format which packags USDs, images and audio files in a single .usdz file but that is it.
I overheard some conversation about RTXIO support in Remix as well, but never seen it in action anywhere

[wise needle]

if its open usd then its open to modding??? il have a go

[radiant axle]

Yeah, you can fork it and do whatever. Though you'll have to maintain and build your own libs to support your custom functionalities (like an asset protection scheme) and replace remix's with that.
https://github.com/PixarAnimationStudios/OpenUSD/blob/release/README.md#getting-and-building-the-code

tbf, games been trying to protect their stuff since the dawn of 2000s, unsuccessfully up to nowadays. You can only make asset rippers life harder, not impossible

[unreal cloak]

Compete what? It's just UE5 with their technologies added

[warm sphinx]

@warm thorn
Could you fix this hover effect? When ImGui is open, it works, but after closing the UI, the material resets to the original. I don't have time to read through the entire VTK to do this

-- Display component name
imgui.PushID(uid .. "_component")
imgui.PushItemWidth(120)
imgui.Text(string.format('%s', component.name))
imgui.PopItemWidth()
imgui.PopID()
-- Hover check
if imgui.IsItemHovered() then
    local newIndex = 2
    local materialChanged = editMaterial(newIndex, component.name, mat, color1, color2, color3, color4, uid)
    if materialChanged then
        textureName = mat:get_texture() and mat:get_texture().name or "no texture"
        vehs_settings:setMaterial(veh, im.currentName, component.name, mat_index, newIndex, textureName, true)
    end
else
    local newIndex = im.selectedVehicle.items[uid].index.v
    im.selectedVehicle.items[uid].name = materialsName[newIndex]
    local materialChanged = editMaterial(newIndex, component.name, mat, color1, color2, color3, color4, uid)
    if debugMaterial.debugmode and materialChanged then
        debugMaterial:removeMaterial(uid)
        textureName = mat:get_texture() and mat:get_texture().name or "no texture"
        vehs_settings:setMaterial(veh, im.currentName, component.name, mat_index, newIndex, textureName, true)
    end
end

[radiant axle]

My bad wording 😅
I meant to say was idk how much the new branch adds since hardware rt is a thing in regular ue5 too.
Never tried NvRTX

[unreal cloak]

Nvidia adds path tracing based on the same technologies that Remix is built upon

UE5 doesn't have real time path tracing

and it's also limited to hardware RT acceleration of Lumen

[radiant axle]

Ah true. I was getting this last bit confused. Its still lumen, but hrdwr accelerated

[warm thorn]

I am not at home now. I Didn't try it yet, I think you should remove the if then else statement, and if the material index changed (slider index changed) then proceed the edit material function. Also you don't need vehs_settings:setMaterial in hover state.

By the way, the hover effect idea is cool.

I will try to edit it when I get back home and publish a new version tonight.

[warm sphinx]

I tried removing else statement, but without it hover-out breaks (material resets to original)
the code a gave works but it has a small problem

[warm thorn]

Just removing the else statement isn't enough, since that would always reset the material back to the original.

You need to specifically check if only the material index has changed (the slider index) . That way, the function only call the setMaterial function when the material needs to be updated.

[warm thorn]

The debug material function still needs to be edited. I'm back home now, and I am working on it.

[warm sphinx]

i failed, Lua isn't my language

[warm sphinx]

I have another idea. Is it possible to get the world position of a body part (car component) as vec3d, so we can draw a line from the mouse position to that part?

[elder river]

Would this be useful to any of you? I think they'd come under the personal tier of the licence since you wouldn't be making money from the mod but I'm not sure. Might be useful regardless and no harm in grabbing them whilst they're still free.

Requirements:
This mod requires Remix 0.5.4 release build to work properly. Any builds under 0.5.4 will not work correctly. The recent builds from the Remix GitHub action are NOT RECOMMENDED, as they are not stable with this mod.

Installation Instructions:

1. Unzip the files and place all files inside the "Game Folder" into your GTASA game folder.
2. Unzip the files and place all files inside the "Remix Folder" into your GTASA Remix mod folder (e.g. GTASA Game Folder\rtx-remix\mods\gameReadyAssets).
3. Open the mod.usda file in the GTASA Remix mod folder with a text editor. In the subLayers section, insert this line: @./SARemix.usda@,.
4. The "subLayers" structure should look like this:

   subLayers = [
     @./SARemix.usda@,
     @./Meshes.usda@,
     @./texture/effect/Effect.usda@,
     @./Light.usda@,
     @./Materials.usda@,
     @./texture/sky/sky.usda@
   ]

Additional Advice:

• This mod is compatible with vehicle addon mods. It has been tested on the 90s AVP vehicles pack. It is recommended to use mid/high-poly vehicle mods with proper UV unwrapped meshes.
• Some vehicles may have stretched UV issues with the leather material, depending on the vehicle addon "cheat" on the UV mapping. Original game vehicles may have more UV issues with the leather material.
• The matte material properties can be changed in the Remix Material Properties Panel. Please note that this is an unedited texture (without PBR properties), and will affect the whole scene without PBR replacement.
• This mod may not work properly (for example, car paint reflection, chrome materials, leather materials) if you install additional texture mods or object mods that are not in our necessary mod list. For the necessary mod details, please reference our GitHub page: https://github.com/Hemry81/GTASA-Remix

[misty palm]

20th anniversary today yay

[magic scarab]

It looks like Junior has fixed short grass draw distance, works without problems now, this is a major fix

[quaint heron]

wait is that for Definitive Edition or original?

[magic scarab]

For original, definitive already has this sorted out with a mod for it

[quaint heron]

holy cow, did he release the mod yet?

[magic scarab]

Not yet

Trash is trash.
I've used a high poly geometry mesh for the trash bag, without any textures. Since Mark mentioned that Remix's path tracing is very efficient with high poly models, so I don't care about the poly count.😜
#asset-creation message

I tried to model the trash bag with the real trash bag shape, but the cloth simulation result looks a bit weird, so I've used a smoother shape to simulate the trash bag.

[warm thorn]

Infernus WIP

[round tendon]

damn thats amazing. did he give any eta?

[magic scarab]

Not sure, but it may already be in the latest update of proper fixes mod

[round tendon]

can confirm its not, lol

at least not in this newest version

but there is a bug related to lighting with CJ's house

the interior

compared to previous versions

which didn't have that bug

[analog sable]

🇧🇷

let's go brazil

[round tendon]

@magic scarab btw can u keep us updated for when that mod releases

[magic scarab]

I have no idea, i've only seen screens of it so far, keep an eye on the mixmods channel it should be announced when it's coming out

[round tendon]

i wonder if it will be added separately or into proper fixes

[quaint heron]

i swear no fucking SA modder is better than Junior_Djjr

he always makes mods that i need

mods that improve the game without taking away the feeling of the original game (and essential mods)

i fucking love him

[olive dragon]

Will be added to Novembers alpha for urbanize, around Christmas for proper fixes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwTa3MmkTxM

[round tendon]

nice thats pretty cool

[round tendon]

i guess we will have it in January

[thorny copper]

Does Volumetric lighting don't work in GTA SA? Haven't seen any screen shot with it on

[candid sapphire]

Is it toggleable ?

idk if toggleable is even a word lmao

[thorny copper]

Yus it should be in the remix menu either in froxel tab or in the main graphical settings

[candid sapphire]

On

Off

Other than the sun it doesn't seems to change that much

looks like it only applies on the sky

Yeah sun is broken without it lmao

This was at 10k, i changed it it seems to work better, but the sun is weird now

hmmm

sky's weird but volumetric is better

it all go away as soon as i look away from the sun

[solar creek]

How to turn off the light flickering?

[olive dragon]

For the streetlights? open the SARemiv_LightMan.lua in the moonloader folder and change
max_flickers = math.random(3, 7) to
max_flickers = math.random(0, 0)

[solar creek]

Thanks, worked.

[olive dragon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRqzL7rm0Cg

[split badger]

woah looking fire

You should post it at #showcase

[untold timber]

Anyone else get a dozen errors then a crash after the auto installer?

[candid sapphire]

At what point do you have the errors ?

Just tried it, works fine, can you tell me what errors you're getting ?

[untold timber]

on launch, about 5 that say unrecognized game version, something to that effect

[candid sapphire]

i need a screenshot of the errors or maybe logs

[solar girder]

It looks like someone just photoshopped a circle on the screen

[candid sapphire]

Yeah some settings needs tweaking, i'm spamming black ops 6 rn so later lmao

[split badger]

Use hoodlum 1.0, steam install exe won't work with mods

[split badger]

force res within exe properties

[untold timber]

fixed by dpi compatability settings

but thank you

it's really cool, just got it running

[candid sapphire]

You used the auto installer but you selected your game directory to install everything right ?

[warm thorn]

You can set the screen resolution in the widescreen fix setting.

[untold timber]

Yah, got it running. Had crashing every few minutes, but overall extremely impressed with the project so far.

[candid sapphire]

Thanks, crashing shouldn't happen tho, what's ur pc specs ?

[grizzled hawk]

It’s lonely here 😭💔

[quaint heron]

it hurts me, coming back to this chat every week until 1 week i see no update at all 😭

jokes aside, y’all keep up, take as much time as u can

[candid sapphire]

i'm spamming black ops 6 rn so no updates on my side lmao

i'll comeback once season 1 gets drop and the game loses all it's fun dw

[iron anchor]

Well, then i'll just drop DE screens here

[warm thorn]

I've been very busy with my job lately. My teammate and I are currently launching a new YouTube channel to promote our product. We want to do something different from typical product introductions, so I'm now learning After Effects and photogrammetry to add some nice visual effects to the videos.

Particularly regarding photogrammetry, I find it very interesting, as I might be able to scan some assets to use in the mod. But right now these things are keeping me very busy, and when I get home I still need to continue editing and working with After Effects.

With so many things to do, I can't say for sure when I can continue working on the mod. It might have to wait until next month, or maybe even next year.

[iron anchor]

i'm bored so i'll drop this again

[solar girder]

Will RTX remix look like that eventually?

[iron anchor]

Questionable

[solar girder]

I hope

[solar girder]

What reshade preset were you using?

Is it a VHS style?

[iron anchor]

Only VHSPro

[candid sapphire]

Could look better even, needs a shit ton of work tho

OG ambient would be the hardest to do since i don't think real life has ever looked like that so doing it with PT isn't gonna be ez

Sun color can be turned orange-ish tho, that's a start i guess

[solar girder]

It does look a little yellow here

Like GTA 5 type of yellow

[warm thorn]

One thing we could do is adjusting the sky color in that timecycle data file. That might be a relatively simple way to get the look without too much extra work.
The other option I was thinking is making a custom sky dome and using lua script to set the color on that.
The custom sky dome approach could be better since it might help avoid that volumetric lighting bug in the void area.

[thorny copper]

sum fog

[thorny copper]

sun set

[olive dragon]

bennys garage GTA V to SA. HDR on as well so including jxr files for SDR viewing

[grizzled hawk]

Can we change the sa physics or is it impossible ? I never liked how npc cars behave they are kida robotic when doing a full stop or turning

Is there any possibility of PATH tracing in rtx remix?

[jaunty kestrel]

You mean like, from light source to camera rather than from camera to light source?

[umbral swift]

Yes

[jaunty kestrel]

Mmmm i dont think remix does, but rtx in general as it's a multi use term basically

[merry hare]

Wait guys

Where can I buy gta San Andreas again

Someone sent me the link at some point but I lost it

[olive dragon]

#1097105394821759006 message

[umbral swift]

Is this finished/better than other graphics mods?

[pastel jungle]

it depends

[warm thorn]

This mod is still in a very early state, but we've fixed somethings to make it more compatible with Remix path tracing.
In my opinion, the mod still needs a lot of work, but I promise we'll keep improving it to make it better than the Definition Edition.

[umbral swift]

Lol nice. Hows the performance? Is it playable on 3060, 4060s?

[warm thorn]

At 1080p with DLSS Performance mode, should be playable.

[candid sapphire]

Definitely playable on any 30/40 series, DLSS perf/ultra perf for 30s, DLSS Quality/Balanced + frame gen for 40s

Laptop is another question tho

[umbral swift]

Thats insanely demanding tbh

Performance is Like what, 500p

Sometimes i Wished to have a 4090 but then i remember that ridiculous power draw. Theres no experience on earth that justifies this. 5090 should sit at 250 MAX for it to be impressive

[opal sable]

fun thing is that my 4090 rarely ever goes above 250w

only when doing very very intense stuff

unlike the 30 series, the TDP really does seem to just be a cap and not what it'll regularly run at

[umbral swift]

Why does everyone here have a 4090

What am i missing

Money glitch or something

[olive dragon]

power draw for about a hour of playing. ultra settings 4k. I probably got more bells and whistles on then most would though.

[opal sable]

pretty much the only thing that causes my 4090 to hit 350w is Remix, but even then you can just cap your FPS to reduce that

[round tendon]

the defective edition in 2021 be like xD

[iron anchor]

tbh that volumetric looks quite nice

[umbral swift]

Insanel low temps

Tbf i have a low fan curve

[olive dragon]

4090 seems to be great at cooling.

However...For full disclosure: I have a pretty aggressive fan curve on the 4090. There's 16 fans in My case..all set to full speed. The room is air conditioned...and I live in Canada 🥶

[candid sapphire]

so you live in a fridge

[olive dragon]

https://tenor.com/view/ice-bath-wim-hof-i-love-the-cold-ice-yeah-gif-22592086

[thorny copper]

Are there igloo houses in Canada?

[candid sapphire]

yeah it's called a pc case there

[jaunty kestrel]

yes

[split badger]

Anderius (aka Alien City) mod can be great with its illuminations

here's how it looks with remix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfRy-ZDw5cw

no doubt it will look better with curr remix versions

https://libertycity.net/files/gta-san-andreas/154748-gta-anderius-alien-city-podderzhka.html

can be loaded fully through modloader

[iron anchor]

Hell yeah, nice, Anderius surely might use benefits of Remix even more

[vagrant jacinth]

Does anyone know how to add fog?

@candid sapphire

[candid sapphire]

in the runtime, i don't remember where exactly it's been a while since i opened a remix game

[pastel jungle]

press alt+x go to graphics and select volumetric fog

im not sure if does that work

[analog sable]

you can also choose normal depth fog

[mossy flicker]

how you got that sky-light?

how can i restore the traffic light to red/green/yellow?

[warm thorn]

The traffic light mesh in the game is a non textured mesh.

If it is a premade mesh, i can replace it with a texture mesh. However, if it is a dynamically generated mesh,you may need to properly handle it by modifying the "ignore first N non texture draw call" setting in Remix Menu.

Need a GTASA modding expert to give the correct answer. If it is a premade mesh, it should be an easy fix. If not, the "ignore first N non-texture draw call" may render something extra that should not be visible in the original game.

[mossy flicker]

that's aswered my question, many thanks !!

btw how can i change the way how the sky looks? its too shiny and the sun flare its not working for some reason...

without the "mean" eye adaptation my eyes are bleeding lol

now looks better...

[mossy flicker]

but the sun somehow dissapeared idk why

[mossy flicker]

how do u turn on the sun?

[warm thorn]

I think sun flare is shader effect that is not supported in Remix

[warm thorn]

The shadow cast from the sun is visible, so the sun should be somewhere in the sky, so just look up to the sky.

[mossy flicker]

i reinstall the whole mod and then this...

lol

[warm thorn]

It looks like CJ has been exploring some interstellar travel.

[warm thorn]

Can you share the moonloader.log file? I'd be happy to take a look and see if I can identify what's causing this issue.

[mossy flicker]

aready fix the issue, i just need to start a new game

but now im facing another issue, white cars

how can i fix them?

[warm thorn]

#1097105394821759006 message

[mossy flicker]

@warm thorn So after a while playing i noticed that street peds won't appear, why is that? how can i fix this issue?

so sad that streets are empty 😦

[warm thorn]

Have you installed all the necessary mods?
It's possible the mod that creates dynamic objects may be exceeding the memory limit, causing it to not spawn new pedestrians properly.

[mossy flicker]

and wich mod is that? is there a way to fix it?

[mossy flicker]

it seems like the game likes to spawn these only 3 peds

[mossy flicker]

I dont know if its a memory limit issue really

[candid sapphire]

You used the auto installer ?

@mossy flicker

[mossy flicker]

Yeah

tbh its the only issue that im having right now

the games runs fine and without crashes

[candid sapphire]

That's weird

You installed it on a clean GTA sa install ?

[warm thorn]

Wait, so you're saying there are only 3 pedestrians even during the daytime?

[warm thorn]

Open Limit Adjuster should fix that issue.

Next version vehicle toolkit mod and street light mod will use the Remix API, that should bypass any original game limits on spawning new light objects.

[mossy flicker]

Yeah, on steam version

[mossy flicker]

This file?

[warm thorn]

Yes

[mossy flicker]

and then what should i do?

[warm thorn]

It seems right to me.
Have you installed any additional mods that are not in the necessary mod list?
I've see some extra text / UI elements showing up in the bottom left corner of the screen.

[mossy flicker]

Its just a DLSS screen indicator wich says the actual render resolution that is using the game with DLSS

i found this inside the mods that came with the SA Remix installer

i dont know if this causing some issues spawning some peds

[warm thorn]

I believe -1 typically means it's using the default setting.
What about during the daytime, are you still only seeing 3 pedestrians at that time of day as well?

Or you can try this one.

[mossy flicker]

Yes even during day time cycle peds still won't spawn at all, i didn't see any grovee street gang members in the streets for example

[mossy flicker]

let me see

still nothing 😦

so weird

[mossy flicker]

in those screens i didn't see any peds as well...

[warm thorn]

For testing, try renaming the MoonLoader.asi file to something like moonloader.asi.bak in the game folder, then relaunch the game.

[mossy flicker]

that didn't work neither

[warm thorn]

I tested it myself. It seems the issue is being caused by the sun mod, not the vehicle mod. Maybe the collision size of the sun object is causing the problem.

[mossy flicker]

this mod its causing the peds to not spawning

i found it

[warm thorn]

Just replace this file located at Game Folder\modloader\SARemix

[mossy flicker]

that seems to work

[warm thorn]

The next version of the script mod will not use the "in game" spawn object function, which should fix the current issue. It will also be able to spawn streetlights at much farther distances.
The new mod version with these changes may be available as soon as next month, though I haven't had time to fully explore the Remix API functionality yet and don't have extra time to write the script mod or other replacement works yet.

[mossy flicker]

but i noticed that if i load a savegame the peds still won't spawn, so in order to make peds spawn need to create a new game

[warm thorn]

That's strange. If you start a new game, save it, and then reload that save, are you still seeing the same issue?

[mossy flicker]

Exactly, even if i save the game to keep with the missions the issue still there

rightly after i save the game during the first mission peds won't spawn like before i save it, so weird issue...

[mossy flicker]

this is after i save

and this is before i load the previous savegame

[warm thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-cat-sunakook-tired-exhausted-gif-14842648364541817040

[grizzled hawk]

Thanks 😊

[outer steeple]

I think I'll try it in the next few days as soon as I have time, I also plan to upscale the textures of Anderius

One question though, is RTX Remix afflicted by the same problem, which for example affects the shadows of enb, in which when an object goes out of view it disappears taking with it the shadow, lighting etc?

[candid sapphire]

Culling, and yes unfortunately

[iron anchor]

Okay, and i'll try to make a logo for it, maybe even do completely new logo for Anderius

[mossy flicker]

so i edited the textures of this guy from varrio los aztecas to make him match the colors of grove street families, so now we have a new gang member lol

[candid sapphire]

Why ur cj got a Big ass head tho

[mossy flicker]

its a haircut 🤣

[candid sapphire]

Jimmy neutron lookin haircut

[outer steeple]

However combining rtx remix with GTA SA Anderius, what typical problems should I expect, so at least I'll be prepared

[candid sapphire]

What's anderius ?

Texture mod ?

[outer steeple]

This

[outer steeple]

Also, a total conversion

[candid sapphire]

Ohhhhh okok

[outer steeple]

And this, in addition to the shadows obviously, in rtx remix also affects the streetlights?

[candid sapphire]

Nah, streetligths aren't translated correctly

They're not translated AT all in fact

Maybe 0.6.0 remix fixes it idk

But as of now hemry did a mod that add streetligths they don't work by themselves

[outer steeple]

So I guess not even all these other lights

[candid sapphire]

GTA SA and remix got a shit tons of issues, that's why Hemry did all those scripts, you'll need all the scripts, all the necessary mods from our Github and the rtx.conf to be able to run the game "Vanilla-like" with remix, just dropping remix latest release won't work

everything you need is here #1097105394821759006 message

And if you just want to try our mod : #1097105394821759006 message

[mossy flicker]

i need to know why peds won't spawn after a mission load or save... i already modified the popcycle.dat but doesn't work either

[warm thorn]

I think the issue might be due to the collision file from the streetlight or vehicle mod using a large 256 x 256 x 256 cube, which could be causing pedestrians to get hidden.

[candid sapphire]

Oh no not again

hashes mixing up again when updating remix

[mossy flicker]

this issue will be fixed in the next update?

[mossy flicker]

@warm thorn how can i change the hour of the streets lights being activated?

i mean, the street lights went on at 19:00 in-game but i want to change that

to 18.30

[candid sapphire]

saremix_lightman.lua, line 520, for now there is no way to edit it in a gui, you'll need to do it in the code

it sets daytime to between 6am and 7pm

i guess changing 19 to 18.5 works ?

you'll need to try

[candid sapphire]

btw, DON'T UPDATE REMIX TO 0..6.0, it will break some of hemry's scripts, and will break the mod itself too.

[opal sable]

have you guys just been using 0.5.4?

the builds leading up to 0.6.0 had massive performance improvements

[candid sapphire]

i just tried, no performance differences, it just breaks hashes

[mossy flicker]

thanks!

it worked

btw wich version of remix uses gta sa remix?

[candid sapphire]

If you used the auto installer it uses the latest release, so either u're lucky and you installed it before the 0.6.0 released, or you'll have to download and install the 0.5.4 on github and intall it yourself

[outer steeple]

So now the autoinstaller can't be used?

[candid sapphire]

It Can be used but will install latest remix version, that we still haven't tested so I don't recommend updating, it broke a few stuff for me but it's unreleased stuff so might just be my fault

[mossy flicker]

im testing 0.6.0 right now, no issues for now...

i can see a performance boost in 0.6.0

in this same spot with 0.5.4 i had 26/25

[warm thorn]

I tested Remix 0.6.0 and the texturehash issue still hasn't been fixed. The game also gets very laggy after playing for a few minutes, and looking around with the mouse cause laggy. Those problems didn't exist in Remix 0.5.4, so I'd still recommend using 0.5.4 for our mod for now.

[mossy flicker]

the texturehash is real in 0.6.0

[olive dragon]

Any remix above 0.5.4 has been doing this for Me as well for every release since 0.5.4

I seen hashes messed up but that's just the tip of the iceberg compared to the massive vram issue that manifests with newer remix versions and gta sa. In a few minutes of playing the game just becomes a slideshow. This behavior is not present in 0.5.4. and nor haven I seen it with other game titles I've used remix on.

Has anyone filled a issue on github about this with gta sa yet? could have swore I did but I can't find it in open or closed...

[candid sapphire]

I'm not home for the next few days so the app will download 0.6.0 until i Can update it to stick with 0.5.4

I thought the slideshow and mouse freezing the game was a me problem, it is just unplayable over 0.5.4 so once again

🚫 DO NOT UPDATE REMIX (on GTA SA) 🚫

[olive dragon]

nope definitely ** not** a You problem.

[mossy flicker]

hope we can see some fps improvements

[umbral swift]

Whats ur gpu

Btw guys can i just use rtx remix ontop of steam version of gta sa

Or any tutorial

[candid sapphire]

Nope, you'll need some mods/fixes, check the pinned message here : #1097105394821759006 message there's everything you need

[warm thorn]

You need to downgrade the base GTA San Andreas game to version 1.0 to make these mods compatible.

[mossy flicker]

RTX 3080 10GB

[quaint heron]

i got a 3060 bro 😭😭

[nimble agate]

RTX 3070 ti 😄

[mossy flicker]

both are great gpus

[quaint heron]

rtx 3060 is not a good gpu for RTX remix san andreas

[umbral swift]

But 4060 is

[candid sapphire]

Anything other than a 4090 is not enough for a good remix experience, it's path tracing y'all gonna have to play in DLSS ultra perf, my 3080 have 45fps in ultra perf in 1440p for references

By the time remix releases it's 1.0 version we'll have the 9090 so it's ok anyway 👌

[opal sable]

i disagree. a 4070 is fine for Remix. the 40 series saw pretty decent gains in PT performance due to some added features and improvements to the RT cores

[candid sapphire]

It's playable yes, not enjoyable

30fps with DLSS and frame gen is not a good experience

It's fine for some people and some games are cinematics enough to be enjoyable like that

But i'm on pc not console, I want my responsiveness

[opal sable]

i'm saying the performance of a 4070 in Remix would probably be a decent bit better than your experience right now

like even when i had a 3090, it wasn't that hard to achieve 60 FPS in Remix at a decent internal resolution

it's not going to be 30 FPS with FG. it'd be 60 FPS base, DLSS Balanced most likely

[candid sapphire]

HUH ?

60fps base in DLSS Balanced ?

[opal sable]

i mean, i had that in Portal RTX on a 3090 from 1440p

well, almost. 50 FPS iirc

and the performance improvements in 0.6.0 would make up the rest

0.5.4 runs horribly compared to 0.6

[candid sapphire]

In Balanced 1440p I have 25 fps base

[opal sable]

in GTA SA though, right?

[candid sapphire]

Yep

[opal sable]

yeah, which runs a lot worse than other games i've played with Remix tbh

[candid sapphire]

Oh

[opal sable]

i don't mean to be rude, but this project really needs to be optimized before you can really rely on it for performance stats like that

[candid sapphire]

Yeah I tried remix on like gmod it bluescreened I never opened it again

[opal sable]

😦 i had similar issues with gmod

but with 0.6.0 in Portal RTX your performance should be pretty great

[candid sapphire]

Yeah we know the performances are shit, but they are as shit as that from a clean remix install, without our mod

The game's just pissed off for some reasons

I Hope remix will fix these performances magically someday cuz idk how else we could fix it

[opal sable]

a lot of it has to do with the amount of transparent textures present. old trees and grass for example that are just textures with alphas will just cause performance to tank

there was something else too but i can't remember 😦

[candid sapphire]

Trees yeah I was supposed to do them but black ops 6 released 😎

[opal sable]

lol

some games are really weird, where a lot of objects that shouldn't be transparent (and don't even appear to be) are marked as transparent. which leads to performance loss

there's a setting in the developer menu that you can use to toggle alphas like that. i can't recall the exact name

[candid sapphire]

I'll check that when i'm home, maybe I Can Squeeze some fps outta that thanks

[opal sable]

i have an older version of your guys' mod, but damn it hogs RAM lol

[candid sapphire]

Oh shit

That's why it starts to stutter at some point hehe

[opal sable]

yeah. i brought it up before. not sure if anything happened with it

[opal sable]

disabling alpha blended boosted performance by like 20%

but it still runs worse than a lot of other Remix games, and i'm not sure why 😦

okay

so i went from 74 FPS with alphas enabled, to 112 with them disabled @candid sapphire

[candid sapphire]

Damn

I never thought that would be that heavy

[opal sable]

and in spots with more, it's even more drastic

[mossy flicker]

hey kim how do u enable those stats in the bottom left corner of the screen?

[opal sable]

63 to 127

[candid sapphire]

The Jefferson motel disappears too

[opal sable]

dxvk.hud = 1 in dxvk.conf

[candid sapphire]

So some stuff have alpha in them when it's useless

[mossy flicker]

disabling alpha blender gives me a fps boost

and disabling NEE Cache as well

[opal sable]

well, that one's not useless. it's just a texture with an alpha layer overlaid on the sign i think

[candid sapphire]

Alpha is just the opacity right ?

[opal sable]

it can be used to control the transparency of entire textures, or just to make parts of textures entirely transparent

[candid sapphire]

Like the trees

[opal sable]

i was able to reproduce this. not sure why

[opal sable]

yes

[candid sapphire]

Or the sign that is probably a square with transparency around the text

[opal sable]

yes

with the alpha layer disabled

the alpha defines the text in this case

[mossy flicker]

You need to edit the rtx.conf file in order to disable at all

[opal sable]

you can disable it in the overlay

i just did. went from 123 FPS to 128

[mossy flicker]

i tried but it gets enabled again

so in order to stop being enabled i wrote that

[opal sable]

i haven't run into that. maybe it's a bug with 0.5.4 specifically. i'm on a later build from github

[mossy flicker]

are u on 0.6.0?

[opal sable]

somewhere in between

i just launched GTA SA with whatever i had running before

[mossy flicker]

maybe with latest buld actions

[opal sable]

yaniss said 0.6.0 was unstable with SA

dxvk-remix-b86955b-639-release
bridge-remix-8248167-93-release

i'm on these and it's running fine

[mossy flicker]

i tried to run gta sa with the last 0.6.0 and sometimes i had the whole pc freezing itself and need to restart

so im stick with 0.5.4

[candid sapphire]

It stutters After a few mins, and Moving the mouse freezes the game for the entire movement

[opal sable]

i'd recommend instead of 0.5.4, finding a github actions build from at least the last month that's stable

[candid sapphire]

In 060

[opal sable]

because those actions builds had MASSIVE performance improvements

[mossy flicker]

the latest one?

[opal sable]

not the latest one if 0.6.0 is unstable

but from like a month ago

[mossy flicker]

oh ok

idk why i love this particular game being remix-ed, the path tracing and global illumination on this game already looks amazing in this build

[opal sable]

the performance of these builds is very close to 0.6.0. 0.6.0 has a minor lead, about a 2% gain

so i'd recommend using those specific builds if 0.6.0 is unstable for you guys

(it's running fine for me though)

disable RTXDI. 74 to 87 FPS

that with NEE Cache disabled = 90 FPS

then with alpha blending disabled, 147 FPS

so that's he kind of performance you guys can achieve by eliminating alphas and by changing those settings 🙂

[mossy flicker]

i love the low poly models for some reason, personally looks great with the path tracing

[mossy flicker]

this using a 3070?

[opal sable]

cars are marked as alpha too

[opal sable]

4090. but the point is i went from 63 FPS to 147 FPS. so imagine the gains on your cards

[mossy flicker]

yeah disabling rtxdi give boost a perfomance boost

[mossy flicker]

nicee

[candid sapphire]

Yeah cars uses 2 textures, 1 color and 1 for the dirtiness I think

[opal sable]

Disable RTXDI
Disable NEE Cache
Optimize Alphas/reduce quantity

63 FPS to 147 FPS on a 4090, DLSS Balanced with RR on

[opal sable]

just pinning that for future reference

[mossy flicker]

il give it a try with my 3080

[opal sable]

but yeah 0.6.0 is stable for me. it does stutter some, but that's to be expected as it has to do shader caching again (happens when you update Remix in a game)

after about 10 minutes it's running smoothly

[mossy flicker]

btw are u running the rtx remix app in the background?

[opal sable]

no

that increase in RAM was only from GTA SA

[mossy flicker]

that happened to me when i run the game trough remix app

almost 32gb entirely being filled up

[solar cairn]

this looks so insane.

[mossy flicker]

its samp?

[solar cairn]

Yea

it's cj's house and bedroom

[solar cairn]

how to fix the samp's chatbox being transparent? choosing the chat's texture in game setup menu in developer settings dosen't fix it because i've tried that and it didn't fix it, even when i disable the ray tracing in developer setting the chat stays invisible. it would be really amazing to play samp normally with such graphics😄

[umbral swift]

Is it actually worth the hassle installing this

[umbral swift]

If only proper global illumination. Any way to activate that?

[umbral swift]

Dont know what ur talking about maybe your gpu is broken, im getting 60fps at path tracing enabled , textures ultra on 1080p dlss quality with frame gen on , on a 4060

Tho i have a special modded 4060 that goes up to 3200MHZ

[mossy flicker]

you are saying that u have FG enabled. Tbh that fakes frames didn't count when it comes to real performance

[umbral swift]

Dont care it has no difference

[warm thorn]

The original game only uses a single white texture for vehicle color and uses that white texture as a mask to create color blending in the engine.

[warm thorn]

Why does the sunlight look like a point light, instead of a disc light or direct light? Did you change any settings to get that result?

[warm thorn]

I've tried removing our mod (the texture, mesh replacement, and moonloader script) and just using the standalone Remix runtime. But I'm still seeing memory leaks after Remix 0.5.4, even on my desktop with a 4090 and my laptop with a 4060. I'm not sure why...

[olive dragon]

Yeah same here on My 4090.It's just the runtime for whatever reason. Tried with and without the mod and it just runs through vram the same no matter what I do. Haven't had this issue with other games either.

[opal sable]

it's not VRAM for me at all, but normal RAM

[olive dragon]

oh it's prob eating that as well for me. been a hot minute since I've tried the new one.

[opal sable]

you should open a bug report on github

[warm thorn]

If this memory leak issue is happening for others too, not just on my end, then I think I should raise a GitHub issue about it.

[warm thorn]

Where can I download older action builds to try, so I can see which one starts having the memory leak problem? I think I've seen someone backup the action builds before.

[opal sable]

i have a backup of much older ones, like 0.1.x-0.1.3.x days

[olive dragon]

I've been trying to move on from 0.5.4 since like September with every build so I can safely say every single one since...

[opal sable]

you can download actions builds going back 3 months on github though

i'll see what other ones i have

okay, i'm uploading some more from the last 5 months

[warm thorn]

I think the memory leak issue started happening a bit after the Remix 0.5.4 release, so maybe 3 months ago or so. Previously, I was trying to download the action builds almost every day (by using your downloader).

[opal sable]

https://mega.nz/folder/uJ4CjJTD#sz5BE3pbIWkeRbYS6ZPxQQ

i'll let you know when it's done

[warm thorn]

OK, thanks💚

[olive dragon]

September is when I started to get issues with updated runtimes.

[opal sable]

i have a feeling it's the bridge and not dxvk

try out this one when it's finished uploading
bridge-remix-07778f9-85-debugoptimized

and if that doesn't fix it, then try dxvk-remix-13a6ac2-598-debugoptimized with it

both of these are from July 26th

it's finished @olive dragon @warm thorn

[umbral swift]

is this safe to use?

[candid sapphire]

yes, i made it myself, you can check the code in github if you want, compile it yourself too

[candid sapphire]

The FPS boost with and without alpha blended textures is HILARIOUS

[solar cairn]

it's with some tweaks to disable internal lighting for cj's house and enable the sun's shadow(probably global illumination)

[solar cairn]

i didn't find any option to enable that, i copied Lego island 2's rtx remix rtx.conf file to gta sa's directory and got the shadows(sun shadows or global illumination) working😄(edit: there is indeed a option, i'm using a older version that's why i dosen't have it)

[solar cairn]

hi 😄 lego island 2's rtx.conf

[solar cairn]

why there are two shadows-suns?

maybe it's lego island's rtx.conf issuse. but when i use hemry's rtx.conf(gta-sa) the shadows dosen't appear anymore. i'm using lego island's 2 rtx remix build because other versions keeps crashing on my system(rtx remix folder it's from the Gtasa-remix main only, the .tree and nvlaunch and d3d9.dll are from lego island'2 rtx remix)

i feel like it's because of the fact that it's lego island 2's rtx remix build.when i use Hemry's Gtasa-main rtx remix build(d3d9.dll, tree folder,nvlaunch) the game dosen't launch anymore. when i try to launch it, a black screen with a white square appears on screen for 5 seconds then the game closes immediately. no luck also when i tried the orginal rtx remix runtime(0.5.4 and 0.6.0), the game shows a error that dissappears immediately before i could read it. i'm using windows 11 23h2.

[warm thorn]

Try these settings.

[solar cairn]

dosen't have that part of settings, it's because of the lego island 2 rtx remix build, the issuse it's my system because i couldn't use the normal rtx remix runtime(0.5.1,0.5.4,0.6.0) or hemry's runtime in gtasa-main because they crash. which version of rtx remix are you using that has these settings? maybe it's a older version that works on my system 😄 i will post my issuse with rtx remix's runtime soon in #1095455547748257862 because it's not related to gta sa or hemry's mod, the problem it's from rtx remix's og runtime and my system.

[umbral swift]

It causes cars to look weird?

[warm thorn]

The setting is inside the Game Setup tab, not the Rendering Tab.

[warm thorn]

Lego Island 2 probably doesn't use a custom RTX Remix runtime, so it's likely just coming from the actions build, not the official release build.

[umbral swift]

gonna compile your py myself today

Am i understanding right this right this fetches the needed mods and adds rtx remix to a downgraded GTA SA directory

[umbral swift]

is the download supposed to take ages

The stuff cant be that big

i just clicked on download all

[split badger]

It's big

4gigs+

[umbral swift]

maybe its a UI glitch

I let it run through now, stopped the exe at like 3gb because i was like, this can't be

This time, i clicked on necessary mods first and then SA remix.

[candid sapphire]

The mod is more than 6gb, and downloading with github api without any git logins has a speed limit

[umbral swift]

ah ok

[quaint heron]

what the hell? I wasn’t told that RTX remix has path tracing, i thought it was normal RTX

no wonder i had 25fps on dlss performance at 3060

[umbral swift]

path tracing and RayTracing is the same

http://downgraders.rockstarvision.com/

whats up with this website ngl

i just downgraded using it now , but new game just crashes the game. Virus

[wintry furnace]

Na. Ray tracing uses rays to calculate singular passes. For example, you can only have the reflections calculated via raytracing while the rest of the game is rendered normally using raster graphics. You can have any number of raytracing effects working separately like rt shadows, reflections, global illumination and more.

Path tracing renders the final image by tracing the whole scene by just using rays. Pure path tracing solutions like remix don't use any rasterization. So the color of every pixel is directly calculated via light/geometry interaction.

Ray tracing is much easier on the performance compared to path tracing.

[wintry furnace]

And did you read the code?

[umbral swift]

The exit code?

or what did u mean

[wintry furnace]

The code of the software that you're calling a virus

Wait nevermind

The code isn't on github

Maybe I'm remembering wrong

Anyways. It's not a virus. You usually don't know what you're doing.

But it's okay. Not everyone has to be smart.

[umbral swift]

xD

rip

installed everything now using the downgrader and then using the app from Yanis, well , creating a new game the game just crashes half way loading

how cooked am i

[umbral swift]

ok did everything , pretty damn impressive ngl. 50 fps on a 4060

[umbral swift]

anyone knows how to get rid off the blue tint

[warm thorn]

Which part has the blue tint, the sky color or the fog color?

[umbral swift]

i also got the mouse issue and its also in menus. I think it Happens when changing graphics settings. Gpu usage spiked to zero after moving the Mouse fast. Moving slow is fine

[umbral swift]

no idea but given the sky is blue with No clouds , maybe its that.

[warm thorn]

It might be helpful if you could take a screenshot to better describe the problem you're having with the blue tint.

[umbral swift]

currently not on PC, will do later

[umbral swift]

is there some memory leak going on in rtx remix

its certainly not the vram being full , but i suddenly got single digit fps when going into the First mission.

gpu usage 0 sometimes 20

starting a new game while getting single fps fixes the fps

wtf..

[warm thorn]

Use Remix 0.5.4, as it's the only recent version that is stable with GTASA.

[umbral swift]

rip, as i used the installer by @candid sapphire . Maybe he can do Something about it

another odd glitch im observing is NEE cache enabling itself again shortly after even after saving multiple times and restarting

[umbral swift]

is it possible to downgrade?

[warm thorn]

If you use Yaniss's auto installer, that's already downgraded to v1.0.

[umbral swift]

how do i know what Version it is using

[warm thorn]

Bro, What are you trying to do exactly?

[umbral swift]

fixing the odd fps drop

to single digits

apparently only happens when starting the first mission, like wtf

maybe it isnt even remix related

[warm thorn]

The modloader.log or moonloader.log file will tell you which version of GTA San Andreas you are running. Only version 1.0 is compatible with the modloader.

[warm thorn]

#1097105394821759006 message

[umbral swift]

i mean the Remix version

[candid sapphire]

I'm updating the app rn, adding an "Install 0.5.4 remix" button and making it install 0.5.4 automatically when pressing "Download all"

[umbral swift]

how to tell which remix Version

[umbral swift]

woah what a chad.

[candid sapphire]

in properties of nvremixbridge.exe in .trex folder

details section

[umbral swift]

also checked the issue occurs out of mission too. Apparently driving for a while caused it. Scary as this would mean vram issue i assume. But the gpu usage is very low and vram is not full either. So its not entering Fallback. I doubt its vram related.

[candid sapphire]

nah the 060 version of remix is completely fucked up on gta sa

[umbral swift]

damn i didnt know that

[candid sapphire]

that's why you need to install 054 release if you want to play

or you can wait for my app if you prefer

[umbral swift]

i gladly wait

if you have time you may want to explain the Users why this Version is recommended

Game works crazy good on 4060 besides the fps issue

for some reason the Screenshot looks like 4k when zoomed in

dlss is doing some black magic (or the alt f1 upscales Screenshots idk)

nah, its indeed 1080p. Nvidia is crazy with their upscaler

[candid sapphire]

SUP ! New update on the app

V1.1 :

• Updated the SARemix download method to be faster (from 0.5MB/s to 60MB/s on my side, will depend on your internet and HDD/SSD speed),
• Changed the remix version installed by the "Download all" button from Latest to 0.5.4 ONLY until latest builds are fixed on GTA SA,
• Added an "Install 0.5.4' to only downgrade/update remix to the latest recommended version.
• The "Update RTX Remix" button still downloads and install the latest release (NOT RECOMMENDED)

https://github.com/KCDQYaniss/SARemix-Installer/releases/tag/v1.1

As always, you have the py file to check the code for yourself and to compile it yourself if you prefer.
Don't hesitate to ping me if it's broken as I haven't tested this version on an other machine, HF !

[opal sable]

what driver versions are you guys on btw?

i'm on 566.03 and it's stable with 0.6.0

[candid sapphire]

566.14

i can go back to 566.03 to try with 060

[opal sable]

do a DDU pass in between

[umbral swift]

im also on 566 but that bug makes SA unplayable. I dont have it with portal rtx

gonna test the Update soo.

soon

really interested to see if it will fix it

[opal sable]

what GPU do you have?

[candid sapphire]

Ok, setting my mouse to 125hz removed all freezing when moving the camera

most mouses are at 1000hz

mine was at 4khz so it was a huge mess

[opal sable]

mine is 4000hz and it's fine 😦

the camera issue was caused by something else

i can't remember what fixed it for me. i mentioned it here a while ago

[candid sapphire]

and installing 566.03 didn't change anything btw

I'm installing latest 566.36, maybe it fixes something (lol)

[opal sable]

oddly enough removing the vehicle toolkit fixed it for me

[umbral swift]

4060

[warm thorn]

I tested all the versions from Kim's backup Remix runtime, and the last stable version is dxvk-remix-dd39314-632, it doesn't have the memory leak and mouse laggy issue.

[umbral swift]

Where is that file hemry

i want to check which i have , since i also get the laggy mouse

[warm thorn]

#1097105394821759006 message

[umbral swift]

but where exactly is this saved?

[warm thorn]

Did you try the latest version of the vehicle toolkit? The old version would assign a new material every second, which could cause lag issues. But the new version only assigns materials when a new car is spawned or the color is changed.
#1097105394821759006 message

[umbral swift]

i maybe blind but i still cant see what rtx remix Version currently is installed in my gta sa

[candid sapphire]

.

@umbral swift

[umbral swift]

ahh ok didnt see that thanks

lets check it out

[candid sapphire]

Does it have any performance improvements ?

maybe what they did to fix the performance broke some stuff in gta sa

[opal sable]

see, the odd thing is that i'm on 0.6.0 with an older version of your mod and don't have the mouse lag at all

i don't know how that's possible

[candid sapphire]

last update was 3 month ago so idk if it's that old

all recent updates are scripts

i'll try removing them all on 060 and see if it fixes anything

yup no more freezes

no freezes no stutter

[opal sable]

i may be using a pack that @split badger put together. it has the same functionality as your mod pack but is a lot more stable

[candid sapphire]

False alert it's back

and mouse at 125hz is fixing it again

soooo

[opal sable]

but again my mouse is 4khz and it's totally fine

so it's still likely something else

[candid sapphire]

most likely from updating the game camera since the mouse hz seems to fix it

[opal sable]

from our DMs

when he's online he can share the pack, you guys can test it

[candid sapphire]

pack of what ? GTA SA mods or our mod more optimized ?

[opal sable]

yes

the mods

[candid sapphire]

ohh

[opal sable]

it's the same mods but from different sources

[candid sapphire]

that will definitely destroy the hashes but if it fixes the stutter that could be a fix

[opal sable]

the hashes aren't affected at all

they all match 🙂

[candid sapphire]

Sounds too good to be true i'm impatient

[split badger]

[jaunty kestrel]

thats normal

[split badger]

yeah

[opal sable]

scan any of the mods, they all have a ton of false positives because they're DLLs

[split badger]

solitery mixmods mods flag this much, if i remove them it should be clean

[opal sable]

hm. maybe i'm misremembering

[opal sable]

but yeah i looked deep into the behavior of all of them, they're safe

[candid sapphire]

I'm scanning my own necessary mods git repo and it's as bad as yours so it's all good i guess lmao

[split badger]

most of the compilation is open sourced btw, all linked above

this pack should be independent of Hermy's fixes, but it has additions to work with it, in a separate folder

[candid sapphire]

your pack does not downgrade the game

does it still works ?

[split badger]

all you need to downgrade really is the exe, 1.0 hoodlum is the best

can't provide that

[candid sapphire]

ok thanks

[umbral swift]

what did i Miss? Old Remix fixes the issue?

[umbral swift]

yo @candid sapphire why is your updated app opening a terminal next to the GUI now?

[candid sapphire]

cuz i forgot -noconsole when packing the py into .exe

[umbral swift]

i think installer broken rn

it Downloads 3 different parts in rar now, but it failed to extract

oh

thats a user error I guess

well, to be fair, why cant the original windows 11 unzip be used.?

[candid sapphire]

that's weird

[umbral swift]

There might still be an issue with the Script, as Part 1 and 2 are broken , cant be opened. They are adequate size tho. Part 3 can be opened normally

never seen this before with rar

"could not find a file executable, falling back to guess mime type by file Extension"

so im guessing script doesnt know Windows 11 can do it on its own

only fix is to have WinRAR, 7zip or similar installed i think for noe

now

[candid sapphire]

yeah, i just checked the lib i used needs winrar or 7z

[umbral swift]

time to install winrar then

[candid sapphire]

ok, the issue is cuz it' rar and not zip

[umbral swift]

yeah

[candid sapphire]

That's quick to fix i'll do it now

[umbral swift]

why use it anyway lmfao

how Long you estimate?

[candid sapphire]

20 min cuz github upload sucks

[umbral swift]

real

[candid sapphire]

I'm doing it so it uses the windowd built in extract program using powershell

[split badger]

Did you check if the pack works for you?

[candid sapphire]

Works perfectly fine, no stutters, no freezes and the performance boost from 060

Can i use ur pack in my git repo for necessary mods ? i'll add hoodlum exe and some missing moonloader files and it's good to go

[split badger]

ofc lol I just compiled stuff together

[split badger]

What missing moonloader files?

[candid sapphire]

idk but i had to download moonloader and extract in game folder for it to load

i think the script folder just don't work

[split badger]

Oh, hold on, have you checked Hermy's folder?

This one has moonloader which is meant to work with his fixes

[candid sapphire]

No i just noticed no moonloader scripts were working so i replaced all the files and it worked

[umbral swift]

what did aupx Upload? What does it change

[candid sapphire]

He made a more optimized modpack and it fixes most stutters and freezes happening in 0.6.0

[split badger]

Weird, it's over a month old pack maybe it conflicts with the updates Hermy made

[candid sapphire]

So instead of updating the app to what i did today, i'll replace the necessary mods, re update the app to download latest remix release, i'll leave the install 0.5.4 remix button cuz it might be useful idk and let's go to python again

[opal sable]

but 0.6.0 will be the main one now?

i'm glad it fixed the issues for you too

[candid sapphire]

Well it works completely fine so i guess so

I'll let the 0.5.4 download button in case it still stutters or freezes for someone

[umbral swift]

did 0.5.4 do Something different

now alot of textures are missing , shadows appear different when moving camera and Indoor are pitch black

😦

[candid sapphire]

Yeah, that's what we've been talking about for the last 2 days

[umbral swift]

how did i miss

so what should be done? Newest or 0.5.4

[candid sapphire]

Yes, another app update the same day

**V1.2 : **

• Updated the SARemix download method to fix the necessary winrar or 7zip by including a portable 7zip in the download,
• A window opens at a certain point of the install, it's 7zip, it extracts SARemix then closes,
• "Download all" and "Update RTX Remix" downloads the latest remix release once again,
• Left the "Install remix 0.5.4" in case it still stutters for you,
• Entirely modified the necessary mods repo using the Aupx pack, way more optimized, thank you @split badger 🤝

**V1.1 : **

• Updated the SARemix download method to be faster (from 0.5MB/s to 60MB/s on my side, will depend on your internet and HDD/SSD speed),
• Changed the remix version installed by the "Download all" button from Latest to 0.5.4 ONLY until latest builds are fixed on GTA SA,
• Added an "Install 0.5.4' to only downgrade/update remix to the latest recommended version.
• The "Update RTX Remix" button still downloads and install the latest release (NOT RECOMMENDED)

As always, you have the py file to check the code for yourself and to compile it yourself if you prefer.
EXTRACT IT OR IT WILL PROB BREAK THE EXTRACT PROCESS

[mossy flicker]

Can we pinn the coment?

[umbral swift]

so this fixed 060 fps drop?

[umbral swift]

Is it adviced to use updated remix or the old one now with 1.2 installer.

[umbral swift]

ok 0.5.4 is very broken now

texture goes Grey everywhere cj goes

i update it now

06 also broken as hell

not good

[round tendon]

move it cj, move it

[warm thorn]

Graphic settings set to medium

[umbral swift]

ingame?

[warm thorn]

yes

[umbral swift]

any chance to mod in volumetric clouds

[candid sapphire]

if they add volumetric clouds in remix yes, modding them in gta sa no cuz they most likely use shaders/ENB which aren't compatible with remix

[umbral swift]

gotcha

is There any settings that i can mess with that can make an actual giant difference? Also why does everything have 2 shadows now

also this is what i mean with blue tint. It does look really blue everywhere

[warm thorn]

Why did I move here? I guess it was the weather (timecycle)

[umbral swift]

oh timecyc

no idea how to modify that

[warm thorn]

Hey guys, did you still have the memory leak issue after the latest update from aupx's mod pack?

[warm thorn]

Maybe you can try turning on the HDR sky option in the sky settings panel.

[warm thorn]

#1097105394821759006 message

[umbral swift]

okay. Btw odd question but is the DLSS presets a SET Resolution. Or could i like upscale from 900p to 1080p . Instead of the 1280x736

[mossy flicker]

you need to use DLSSTweaks for that

[umbral swift]

okay

[mossy flicker]

you can adjust your internal resolution

[umbral swift]

probably not a good idea on my 4060

if it wasnt for the vram

[mossy flicker]

how many vram u have?

[umbral swift]

just ran full but i think it happened because i went to native then to dlss again, it didnt clean up the native vram

8gb

going to test again it shouldnt run full

smh the fps drop still happens it wasnt vram issue

yeaaaah i think remix might need to cook for another year in sanandreas

[warm thorn]

Nice

[warm thorn]

The mouse lag issue was fixed in Remix 0.6.0 when using aupx's mod pack, but that version has introduced screen tearing, likely a vsync problem.
The texture hash issue is also more prevalent in 0.6.0 compared to 0.5.4, and the memory leak is still present even with the standalone Remix Runtime, without our Remix mod.
So my recommendation is to still use Remix 0.5.4 for the best overall stability.

[umbral swift]

hash issue? Is it why shadows and the entire lighting is different when moving the camera?

[warm thorn]

Bro, it sounds like you didn't disable the original directional light. Try following these setting.

[warm thorn]

The texture hash issue is causing some textures randomly change, like how Kendl (CJ's sister) became a stone statue in the screenshot i posted before.

[umbral swift]

ahh ok

lmfao

gonna check the lighting setting

i looked for it but no god damn hell did i find these

[umbral swift]

oh damn finally normal lighting??

need to test asap

[umbral swift]

oh damn this was on by default

rip

[opal sable]

yep, but changing that messes with a lot of stuff

[mossy flicker]

for me its only working "in view Transform"

there is no change in the lights if i went to the other options

[solar cairn]

did anyone figure how to fix samp's chatbox being invisible?

[umbral swift]

lets imagine a great scenario where remix is very flashed out and the entire games textures support pbr, would it look better than gta 5?

i wonder why like 80% of shadows just miss

shouldn't PT handle it on its own

[solar cairn]

the objects behind your back?

[umbral swift]

nah just look at the video of hemry

[mossy flicker]

well idk why now ver 0.6.0 is running better than 0.5.4 on my pc in this same spot im having like -10-5 fps in 054

[umbral swift]

i dont get it man

mine looks nowhere near this and i just used the installer didnt do anything else

also on 06

are you running native 1080p no dlss?

[outer steeple]

But is it compatible with Reshade? And does it exclude access to the depth buffer?

[candid sapphire]

You Can use reshade with it but I don't know if it Can Access the depth buffer since remix is already accessing it i guess

[warm thorn]

When noob trying the Remix API, here's what they might experience..

[umbral swift]

whats happening there

[umbral swift]

people should get paid for using remix

this is too time consuming lmfao

[umbral swift]

https://dev.prineside.com/en/gtasa_samp_game_texture/view/

website with all gta sa textures??

[warm thorn]

Nothing special, just didn't know how to properly initialize the Remix API in Lua...

[umbral swift]

why dont we just throw every texture into a PBR ai generator

Free remake?!?

[warm thorn]

Yeah, you could use AI to generate that for you, but that's not really our goal with this project.
We prefer a more hands-on, manual approach. So it ends up taking us more time to get the mod put together, but that's just how we like to do things.

[candid sapphire]

AI can make textures, not models, and hand made textures are 100x better looking

[umbral swift]

sure

guys i cant stand the movement inside scene

can anyone tell me how to fix cant find mod layer in current stage

i guess it wants to load me a mod layer usd but i never did one and dont know how to.

[warm thorn]

You know, I'd really recommend watching the whole Remix Toolkit tutorial series first. There's a pretty clear guide in there on how to actually create Remix mods.
But just to clarify, I'm actually modding the game with Omniverse, not the Remix Toolkit itself. I just use the Toolkit to set up the project, so that other modders like Yaniss can easily come in and modify the mod further down the line.

[umbral swift]

Certainly nothing for the stupid folk lol

[warm thorn]

Stupidity and laziness are just a fine line apart.

[umbral swift]

what is causing NEE cache to enable itself constantly

[warm thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/the-bug-gif-26624695

[umbral swift]

I like this guys humour lol

[mossy flicker]

im at 2880 using DLDSR, and the internal resolution is like 1440x760 using DLSS Perfomance

[native gust]

significant gpu and cpu optimizations

[umbral swift]

when rtx remix update that does all the work for you on its own

[umbral swift]

guys how tf do i find the damn location of inside captures .

made a capture of cjs house and just cant find it in the editor, i found some low poly version of the insides flying around but not the proper version

Everything is missing lighting etc. tf

stage lights and improved models not loading inside the Capture

[umbral swift]

idk if im just stupid or smth is broken

[candid sapphire]

You opened the project with the modified assets or you just opened the capture ?

[umbral swift]

how?

[wise needle]

this is including my own mods, not part of the repo.. the lighting you're playing about with is for editor only. for scene lights you need to attach a light to a reference within a model.

[mossy flicker]

LOL

[opal sable]

that's definitely normal 😛

[mossy flicker]

now the gim its a bar

i really love the ragdoll physics

[umbral swift]

why does your game look so much better

in the night too

can you share your config

ngl @candid sapphire you could add different rtx configs to your installer

also now that i see the bar sign, it's pitch black for me inside the bar

[mossy flicker]

make sure backup your original rtx.conf after replacing this

im not sure if the image clarity its somehow better using DLDSR x2.25 (2880x1620)/DLSS Performance 1440x836 or x4 DSR (3840x2160) DLSS Ultra Performance 1280x736

i think its looks better at 4k... idk exactly

[umbral swift]

Yeah but i mean your lighting is just completely different

it actually has color instead of being.. blueish

[round tendon]

GSF biatchh

[mossy flicker]

this is what i did in the first place. If you want to "disable" that blue tone

personally i use" In Viewform Transform"

[solar cairn]

hi 😄 , i know it's been a long time since you sent this message, but how did you fix it?

[versed field]

hiii

idk realy jajajaja

but i think if you install chat.asi it will work

[warm sphinx]

Update your remix to latest GitHub action version and it will work
Or
If you want, I can send you my script.

[warm sphinx]

I didn't know such a thing existed.

[versed field]

try it pls

but the nametags

still invisible?

[versed field]

i forgot how to install remix on samp

[warm sphinx]

@versed field name tags and health bar

[solar cairn]

where to download it? the mod or asi file that fixes samp's ui😄

[versed field]

try

[umbral swift]

can we get proper rain puddles

would be badass

[candid sapphire]

Same as volumetric clouds, needs shaders, might b possible with the API tho idk

[warm thorn]

Yeah, it should be possible to get proper rain puddles in Remix. We could use some scripting to spawn the puddle textures on the road when the weather changes to rain, and then give those puddle textures a really reflective material in Remix.

hmm interesting

[split badger]

Snow shaders are in the season

[solar cairn]

it worked. the solution is finally found! to fix samp's ui.

[versed field]

niceeee

put a screenshot

[versed field]

nametags is solved??

[solar cairn]

yes

[versed field]

ohhhh

nice bro niceeee

[solar cairn]

thank you🥰😄

[versed field]

car colors and hud is fixed thoo?

[solar cairn]

the hud will be fixed if you choose one of ui's textures as ui texture in game setup, the hemry's rtx.conf already fixes it😄the car colors are still white(not hemry's rtx.conf). i taked those picturs via /camera that's why the ui dosen't appear there

[versed field]

i need to try it

since 1 year i not try remix on gta sa

pls send more photos

is amazing

[umbral swift]

honestly the camera in gta sa would make a perfect first person

[split badger]

There's already a great FPV mod I use it for all my installs, it should work

remix runtime error

[versed field]

remix 6.0 works in gta sa?

[versed field]

bro how you instaled 6.0

[candid sapphire]

#1097105394821759006 message

You Can install it manually but if you're asking it means you don't know, launch the app, select your remix GTA sa directory, press "update RTX remix"

If it starts glitching/lagging, on the app there is a "install 0.5.4 remix" button, to go back to latest stable version

[versed field]

but manualy how? quick tutorial bro pls

[candid sapphire]

Download the release from github, extract the zip in GTA sa directory

Not complicated

But as I said you could use the app

Or read #remix-beginners-guide

It's probably explained there

[opal sable]

yep

https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1144151168830939280

[versed field]

dont work for me

i will try the installer @candid sapphire

[versed field]

im done

idk why doesnt work

[opal sable]

try sharing the log files like it says

post it here

[solar cairn]

same error appeared for me when i tried the bridge version in the past, but now it gives another error(probably because i installed visual studio):

the only version that works for me is lego island's rtx remix runtime+hemry's rtx-remix folder.

i've opened a thread on runtime-help because of it

[opal sable]

what GPU do you have?

[versed field]

rtx 3070

[solar cairn]

i opened this in visual studio and the exepection information said:The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access. but the error still happens if i run the game as a administor.

[young patrol]

@versed field can you install https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe and test one more time?

[solar cairn]

i had the same error when i didn't had visual studio 2019/2022 installed

[versed field]

yesss

it has that

was

fixed bro thanks

[young patrol]

@solar cairn you're using a debug build of remix. you have to use the release build. you do not need visual studio

[solar cairn]

thank you but the game dosen't launch now with release build😢

[young patrol]

did you install the file from my link?

[solar cairn]

from rtx remix installer😁

the only version that used to work for me normally was lego island 2's rtx remix runtime

but i wanna try newer versions now since it wasn't the lateast version

[young patrol]

I mean

install a release build of remix, then install this file: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe, then run the game

[solar cairn]

gonna try thank you 😄

still the same😢 a error appears on the screen for a mini second then dissappears very fast that i cannot read it,it happens when i try to launch the game. i will post it into the rtx remix runtime

[versed field]

how i fix the sky?

[young patrol]

well, this is fun. loco's crash was due to recent ABI breaking changes in visual studio's runtime, but is ultimately fixable with an updated CRT redist. paniz's crash is due to an invalid handle being passed to a threadpool wait function. the bridge maintainers can fix that one.

[solar cairn]

your skin is too bright

(tried to run the game with windows 8 compatitly settings, but the problem still persists, please avoid reading the log if it's not neccesarry)

[solar cairn]

the dxwrapper.dll was the problem. i fixed it

i tried to fix it for hours and the dxwrapper was the problem😤

how to use reshade with rtx remix? it dosen't work correctly

[solar cairn]

you actually fixed my problems, the dxwrapper.dll was the problem😄thank you

[opal sable]

the game is trying to hook dxwrapper.dll?

[solar cairn]

yes, since i used lego island 2's rtx.conf for shadows. the problem was fixed after removing dxwrapper.dll. my fault

[solar cairn]

hey, how to enable it?

[candid sapphire]

enable volumetric lighting ?

[solar cairn]

yes, i didn't find it in remix's menu 😄 thank you

[candid sapphire]

"Rendering" "Froxel radiance Cache/Volumetrics" "Volumetric lighting"

[solar cairn]

thank you 😄

[solar cairn]

send those pictures for noobs who say sa direct 3.0 is better than rtx remix.

what's the most realtistic radiance for noon's sun light?

fallback light

also what should be the sky's brightness value for the most realtistic image?

[solar cairn]

not including this type of fallback in the orginal hemry's repository it's downplaying the rtx remix's capatilies and hemry's job.

we can add a script to disable/control fallback light's angle based on the time of day.

those pictures could even look more realtisic by better settings.

we can beat sa direct 3.0

[candid sapphire]

Hemry already did a script that simulates the sun

[candid sapphire]

Nothing can beat a well made remaster using rtx remix, we just need time, we're not slapping rain puddles and mirror roads to add reflections and call it a day, I modeled oil bottles and fences, doing the full game's gonna take years

we'll have gta 7 before

[candid sapphire]

or SAMP doesn't support moonloader ?

[solar cairn]

i didn't even install it😁

it adds sunlight?

[candid sapphire]

yeah, it adds sun and moon

another scripts fixes car colors

another one fix streetlights

[solar cairn]

i thought it only modified sky's texture, that's why i didn't install it😁

thank you, i'm going to install it😁

[candid sapphire]

also there's one for the health bar not showing

[solar cairn]

is it still working in 0.6.0?

or i need to press a button to enable the moonloader?😁

it isn't working for me, i thing it's 0.6.0's fault

i've also downloaded this but the sun light dosen't appear. is it samp's fault?

[candid sapphire]

could be samp's fault i never played samp so idk

and yes it works in 0.6.0

[solar cairn]

😢

The thread tried to read from or write to a virtual address for which it does not have the appropriate access.

[umbral swift]

probably a good thing because by that time, low end gpus as we know wont exist anymore. I cant say too much, but theres something big coming in the graphics acceleration genre

[jaunty kestrel]

Atp "big things" for gpus is just a throw away word

[solar cairn]

thank you for your hard job😄 sorry i didn't fully read your message that time,

[solar cairn]

this water looks so good. we can implent it into gta san andreas if it's running in rtx remix's engine.

[cosmic hound]

Yo, I need help, I checked the Pins Message and also installed the Vehicle Toolkit mod, but the car is still white in the game.
I'm having trouble with the same situation after installing the RTX Remix from the vanilla state. How can I fix this?

[solar cairn]

read it, it might work😄

[jaunty kestrel]

Technically if someone makes it a pbr for a hash in gta sa yea

[cosmic hound]

It was cured after erasing the SA UserFiles in Documents

sry

[mossy flicker]

but npc will dissapear

[warm thorn]

I’ve replaced the water texture with sprite sheet animation. But since GTASA uses multiple water layers, so the water surface looks a bit weird.

[native gust]

ignore the others if it doesnt break anything?

[warm thorn]

The water's meshhashes is random, so if I ignore the texture hash, the whole ocean, ocean waves, and lakes that use the same texture will disappear. Only the casino area pool uses a different texture.
I can't fix this unless I create a new mesh for them separately, but I don't have any plans for that yet.

it looks so glitchy though

theres a bunch of shadows on cj\

you meant the rtx.conf maybe

put this in gta sa directory and it should be good
