So far I've found omniverse really clunky and difficult to navigate. Most of my time spent in it is just overshooting where I'm trying to go or fighting the controls to point me in the right direction

I imagine that'd make getting new captures WAY easier

Yea, to illuminate only the road they are almost all rectangular but in the city center spherical are common to illuminate all around, also in the center probably LPS is out of place, HPS or mercury vapor kind of temperature and spectrum would be better

Well, let's ask the Major...
in the original games the lights are whitish, probably because there are color lights to marks the different shops
but RTX Remix gives us freedom so lets look what we can do with it
safe patrol
I'm all for the realistic approach, whatever that ends up being.
cloud crypt
tried to fix it, renamed game folder to see if it worked... well it doesnt, who would have thaught of that... so texture reworks are a huge issue at the moment
Conclusion: Dont rename your underground 2 folder. It should be named: Need for Speed Underground 2
You can move it to another directory but nothing else. Moving the Game folder elsewhere, or having it at another destination as mine is, shouldnt fuck up the textures now.
I will upload the updated files soon

That should probably be a cooler temperature when you consider the window texture in the car lot

of course we can always replace the outside window too.

Lighting is so satisfying with ray tracing, warm lights give a nice feeling combined with architecture of this part of the city, how do they look with zio Burrito and ESelkath textures?

Yes… but why mess with the game’s original art style

No fucking way.

thats weird. The inside of the vehicle is reflective, but why not the outside?
I have installed animation controller to see how it would behave. Maybe that way we can figure out on how to make the car material reflective...
bright cairn
Could the outside be a different material to the inside?
cloud crypt
well i am going to bed now, i maybe will find out tomorrow
jade briar
Y'all are making GitHub repos, and upcoming, features, and figuring out system requirements.
Now you guys better finish this too
Because I never made any promises with this
ember cobalt
yeah, imo the system requirements are a bit much. no real guarantees can be made there
but otherwise it's great
safe patrol
How about
Requirements: TBD.
jade briar
HellRaven is going all out with this.
My brother in christ.
At least wait for the remix tools.
vague sparrow
Just say you need an rtx card now because of the early nature of this mod
mossy pelican
yeah, imo the system requirements are a bit much. no real guarantees can be made...
the question is
raw performance
or DLSS enabled?
I'm using a 3060 and the performance is not even close to be good enough to play without DLSS at 1080p 21:9
i assume that the 2070 is more or less like the 3060 in terms of performance
gritty crest
i assume that the 2070 is more or less like the 3060 in terms of performance
You may need to decrease the number of light bounces
Oh also With HellRaven's repo do you still need Burrito's textures? Since the road for me is untextured when I tried it
hearty delta
open atlas
to some extent, you have to for a nice remaster
If the building you’re remastering used a cool color palate why would you replace it with a warm one
ember cobalt
for the same reason you suggested replacing the interior, to make it more consistent
personally i don't lean one way or the other on it
jade briar
wrong my friend.
I don't know. But do try and tell me the results.
vague sparrow
Hey <@264632269174472704>

jade briar

I don't get why people dm me.
Just ask here. There's more people that can help you than just me.

Lol I5 10400F is the exact one I got
Still, perfomance is bad even with a 3070 Ti
I have to play on performance for 36-42FPS, sometimes it even drops to 31FPS 😛
DLSS Perfomance Preset*
wispy tusk
Sorry for the tag, I'm just curious what software this is.
Figured it out. Omvinerse create right?
vague sparrow
at what resolution
cobalt peak
Oh nevermind I have a 12400F
cobalt peak
at what resolution
1080P Game Resolution
vague sparrow
something is terribly wrong
vague sparrow
Dlss performance with just 40fps is bad, people here with 3060 ti get 50 on performance
cobalt peak
Well I am using Uncle Burritos preset
The one with the custo roads and such
Probably that's why
cobalt peak
Yea, but I miss 60FPS you know
cobalt peak
Oh, that would be terrible
if I would'Ve waited 2 more weeks I would've been able to get a PC with a 4070Ti, but I simply needed to upgrade from my 1050 Ti
Well 200Euro more, but probably worth it.
wispy tusk
damn all my settings were unsaved 😔
wispy tusk
Well 200Euro more, but probably worth it.
rip. what'd you get instead?
cobalt peak
Well, I will just wait three years and then buy a PC with a 5070 Ti, or maybe four years and get a 6070 Ti, which probably has the perfomance of a 5090 Ti.
cobalt peak
rip. what'd you get instead?
Oh, well a 3070 Ti.
wispy tusk
My only issue with my 3070 is the vram tbh
cobalt peak
But they took it off sale the day I wanted to buy it, and two weeks later it came back on sale upgraded with a 4070 Ti.
wispy tusk
oh damn
cobalt peak
My only issue with my 3070 is the vram tbh
Yea, could be more than 8
wispy tusk
esp with how much vram shit needs now anyways
cobalt peak
But the 3070 Ti is much better than my old 1050 Ti.
cobalt peak
Oh nice
wispy tusk
got the 3070 for 400 bucks second hand so I'm happy
cobalt peak
I took the 3070 Ti because (just like the 3070) its basically a 2080 Ti with less VRAM
cloud crypt
HellRaven is going all out with this.
I said its alpha lol. I did not promise anything
cobalt peak
Sadly, that won't be enough in the near future.
wispy tusk
nvidia should donate 4090s to us because I'd like one
cobalt peak
I think when the 60 series comes out, I'll have to buy a new PC again
cobalt peak
nvidia should donate 4090s to us because I'd like one
Yes
wispy tusk
that's my only reason to deserve one
cobalt peak
Lol 🙂
wispy tusk
I was planning on getting a 4070 but I didn't feel like it cuz I'd have to upgrade my cpu to not bottleneck it
cobalt peak
But of course RTX Remix takes alot of performance, as it is not optimized obviously.
wispy tusk
yeahhh
cobalt peak
You can optimize games, but I don't really think you can optimize things like ReShade or RTX Remix.
Same with GTA 5 Graphics mods, they take more performances than RDR2
But Underground 2 looks really good with RTX remix.
wispy tusk
I mean u could still optimize it, but it's like polishing a turd if the game already is poorly optimized
cobalt peak
Yea
wispy tusk
Any idea what software this is? nvm i figured it out
#1103377328530276403 message
it keeps sending me to the wrong message... great discord
this one
cobalt peak
One day we'll probably have something like RTX Remix that'll work in today modern games (Which will be old games then).
Then, the GTA V RTX On vs Off meme will become reality.
Probably RTX Remix 2.0, coming 2043.
wispy tusk
wouldn't surprise me lol
Have u tried replacing any textures?

Also maybe it makes more sense to have someone be the maintainer who is active here on a regular basis and knows how to merge stuff and maintain a repository?
cloud crypt
are you planning to commit the mod.usda and rtx.conf?
everything is in there
thorny pawn
they are in the release but not in the repository
I can create a repo if you guys want... work as a software engineer by day
thorny pawn
everything is in there
Do you know how to merge pull-requests?
cloud crypt
Do you know how to merge pull-requests?
well no, but i did this. They are view only
but the mod.usda isnt enough. When we add lights you also need the mesh and light captures. Without them there will be no lights
jade briar
Yeah well don't ask me because we are very early in development, without proper tools. We should wait for remix to be stable, bugs to be sorted out, performance to be better, and the tools to be released before making this a big proper project.

thorny pawn
also i really hope it doesn't come off as me talking off a high horse while not contributing much, i just think i have a really good understanding of the whole rtx remix system and try to help where i can
cloud crypt
what.... that shouldn't be the case
if i delete the captures there will be no lights. Also when you dont include the textures there are no roads
captures are only needed from meshes and lights, Its about 30mb
thorny pawn
if i delete the captures there will be no lights. Also when you dont include the...
the textures yes obviously, but those are fine with being only in releases, they don't need to be tracked in the repository,
if you delete the captures and the lights disappear maybe you haven't set the authoring layer properly in omniverse?
cloud crypt
i have. its always mod.usda
thorny pawn
i will try it later and try to reproduce this, you shouldn't need any capture files that are shared
cloud crypt
and when i delete mod.usda there are also no lights
without mod.usda
without capurues
thorny pawn
well yeah, i know that its acting like that right now but it shouldn't
deleting the mod.usda will ofc remove lights and thats fine
i'm thinking maybe you're adding lights to instances instead of meshes or something but i'll try once i get to my pc
cloud crypt
no, they are added to meshes
thorny pawn
does portal with rtx have a captures folder?
cloud crypt
yeah, but nothing in there
but also usda plugins. Portal RTX behaves different than rtx remix 0.2.0
you cant compare them
because in portal there is no mod.usda
thorny pawn
rtx remix 0.2.0 is built on top of what is essentially portal rtx's version
cloud crypt
Portal is build that way
thorny pawn
replacements.usda = mod.usda
cloud crypt
still it behaves different :/
and as you can see here i always added lights to the mesh with its reference to the specific mesh. Without the reference = no lights
and remix draws its reference from the captured meshes
thorny pawn
that does seem correct, i'll see if i can reproduce it
oooof ok i get it
it's basically because we have no mesh replacements
just tried it
not sure if there's a way to "future proof" the process, maybe we could copy the required mesh usda into a lights folder before adding a reference
cloud crypt
i would have to redo it for every light... yikes
the problem for now is, that we dont have the remix tools yet. just ov and remix itself
thorny pawn
yeah thats why i was like "omg wait why do we need captures folder" because that way we can't tell which usd are required and which not, so you would eventually have to commit every single mesh that has ever been captured which would suck big time
cloud crypt
with the proper tool mesh-replacements wouldnt be a problem. But it takes time until release
thorny pawn
so doing it from the start would be way easier
cloud crypt
probably
thorny pawn
i mean maybe i can write a script which will do that process automatically and adjust the references but can't promise anything
desert kestrel
wrong my friend.
you are repacking free mods and you're selling them on patreon
cloud crypt
no need, only have added these lights. It wont take much time to redo this. Maybe some hours or one day
thorny pawn
can you try my suggestion of copying the mesh.usd before adding a reference?
i think it should work
this is more than likely what the subUSDs folder in portal RTX is
thats why i meant we should check how they did it 😄
cloud crypt
can you try my suggestion of copying the mesh.usd before adding a reference?
i can try, yes
but ill make a backup before xD
thorny pawn
big thanks c:
doing that also helps us not distribute copyrighted assets from EA, (captured textures etc.) hope it works the way i think it does
tawny elk
You can export all the textures from the game's bins files by the way 👀
cloud crypt
as said, ill cheack it out. but give me some time to do 😅😅 i am not the fastest man alive xD

You could mess with. Memory addresses.
Just saying.

jade briar
mmm. Two repos for the same project. What could go wrong?
tawny elk
It's basically going to be where I post my mod.usda and such. Ya'll don't need to be actively promoting or anything.
cloud crypt
we could use your repo for a second version if poeple want to have warmer lights and/or other textures for example
tawny elk
Yea I'll still help out on your guy's repo with writing readme's and such
tawny elk
But you could save it. Its good so far
I'll push it to the repo
cloud crypt
Ok
cloud crypt
The community's already divided
some want warm lights, some want more colder near to og look
tawny elk
It's not hard to switch mod usdas, you can hot swap them with the game running.
cloud crypt
that around 5500K. I wanted to do a mix of 6500K down to 5500K
i wanted to make the lights like that. Some a cold white, some these warmer lights

my idea replicate screnshot to Remix u2
yea
mine project
but finished
whole map
plain stag
i place this light with text editor 😄 nothing like in remix

Ah nice, maybe we can get the lighting like this
yee but mesh light is one material for assetto i must select whole mat for use light not light ... i go try in remix how looks there
jade briar
This does look very good. I want to drift in this.
plain stag
yee but assetto is SIM problem is sometimes is bumpy becauce roads is lowpoly
i alredy spend moths smoothing main whole map 😄 its better than before
jade briar
Yeah, that's why I didn't download the full original map that you uploaded.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that this is literally one of the best looking assetto mod maps.

why exactly me being noped
Sry, wasnt meant that way. It is possible to adjust the color. Thats what i want to do with tje colored lights for shops etc. But the other lights get only temperature instead

Whatcha mean? How to add lights to the scene?
thorny pawn
Whatcha mean? How to add lights to the scene?
The way we do it right now we're adding references to meshes which are in the captures folder, which creates a dependency on the whole captures folder unless we track every single file in there and delete out just the stuff that is not referenced,
instead we should be able to copy the relevant mesh_HASH.usd files into gameReadyAssets/Lights/ for example which would allow us to ship one package with the modded files and nothing else
ember cobalt
afaik you don't need the USD files from the captures folder to add lights to the meshes. the info is stored in the mod.usda file, and will attach automatically when the game is loaded
cloud crypt
Thats wrong
thorny pawn
afaik you don't need the USD files from the captures folder to add lights to the...
at least following the tutorial on how to modify lights you have to add a reference to the mesh which is at that point located in the captures folder
maybe that step isn't necessary? I haven't tried tho
tawny elk
No you don’t have to do that. Just refence the mesh.
cloud crypt
Its necessary... i tried it, if you dont add a reference, there are no lights
tawny elk
I’ll record a little video here in a bit.
cloud crypt
No you don’t have to do that. Just refence the mesh.

thorny pawn
my light here is working, despite having deleted the captures folder
thats what i wanted to hear!
thats nice, so there is something wrong with @cloud crypt 's setup
cloud crypt
and when i delete mod.usda there are also no lights
These screenshots
ember cobalt
mod.usda isn't what we were talking about
Ivan was asking if you needed the captures folder for the light to still attach
thorny pawn
I interevened earlier today claiming that we shouldn't need the captures folder because that sucks
ember cobalt
mod.usda simply references the material hash that you referenced for the light to be attached to
cloud crypt
When i delete captures = lights gone
When i leave captures and delete mod.usda = lights gone
thorny pawn
and hellraven claimed we do need the captures folder
ember cobalt
captures shouldn't be necessary
thorny pawn
#1108266959763685458 message
ember cobalt
Mark's tutorial goes over it more clearly
thorny pawn
i think the last step in this tutorial is unnecessary
ember cobalt
#1096847508002590760 message
ember cobalt
captures shouldn't be necessary
in the image i uploaded above, i did not need the captures folder for the light still be attached to the mesh
it's working with only mod.usda
thorny pawn
yeah so the video tutorial is wrong
in the video he adds a reference to the mesh_#.usd
marks tutorial is more accurate
i guess HellRaven followed the video
cloud crypt
I did
thorny pawn
glad we cleared that up 😄
ember cobalt
i think what you're missing is the step Mark outlined here @cloud crypt:
Note that if you manually add lights or meshes as a child of a mesh, and still want the original mesh to show up, you'll need to manually modify the mod.usda file. Once you're done in USD Composer, save the replacements layer and open it in a text editor. Find the mesh_HASH prim you added the light to, and add a custom int preserveOriginalDrawCall = 1 to it. It should look something like this:
thorny pawn
you can probably just delete the erroneous references and then you shouldn't be depending on the captures folder anymore
ember cobalt
the video doesn't contain that step
thorny pawn
i think what you're missing is the step Mark outlined here <@401032793829933056>...
thats just if you want the original mesh to render
ember cobalt
it also causes the lights to be hidden for me
could just be a per-game bug though, if that's the case
thorny pawn
it also causes the lights to be hidden for me
check 1:36 in this video thats the mistake
cloud crypt
i think what you're missing is the step Mark outlined here <@401032793829933056>...
Thats way, way to complicated
ember cobalt
check 1:36 in this video thats the mistake
i also referenced the mesh, and do not need the file for it to function
thorny pawn
oh what, then i have no clue why deleting the captures folder kills the lights for him
ember cobalt
i have no idea really
thorny pawn
so referencing the mesh.usd is required?
ember cobalt
the behavior Hellraven has hasn't been the case for any of the games i've added lights to
ember cobalt
so referencing the mesh.usd is required?
it's a bit weird. sometimes it seems to reference it automatically for me, other times it doesn't and i have to do it manually
i'd just recommend following Mark's tutorial though
it worked for me
cloud crypt
Do i need to add this line for every light i added or only once?
thorny pawn
mark's tutorial doesn't mention adding an extra reference to mesh_HASH.usd?
thorny pawn
Do i need to add this line for every light i added or only once?
every light
ember cobalt
this is an example of my mod.usda. this also contains a material replacement for a specific mesh, so you can see how that works as well
cloud crypt
every light
Then i wont do it
ember cobalt
Do i need to add this line for every light i added or only once?
yes, every one
cloud crypt
Thats over what, 5000 lights?
thorny pawn
you can probably do it in bulk, having a git repository also helps because you see the changes and then you just add the line for every changed light
ember cobalt
it'd be fairly easy to write a script to add it to any light source in the usda file
thorny pawn
it's not that big of a deal
you can also have a local git repo to track changes, no need for github
ember cobalt
i'd recommend just trying it with a single one to see if it even resolves the issue for you
cloud crypt
Ok
ember cobalt
if not, it could be something else in your setup
or it could be working for me when it shouldn't be, also a weird possibility
cloud crypt
But why adding the captured meshes to the mod is an issue? Its only about 30 to 50mb
ember cobalt
it's just not necessary. Remix should be able to find the material hash upon loading the game and attach the light source to it
at least from my understanding
thorny pawn
they don't need to be there, and you additionally run into the problem of distributing EA's assets as part of the mod which is not cool
and at some point you have so much stuff in the captures folder and you have no idea which files are necessary and which are not
that is straight up wrong
cloud crypt
it'd be fairly easy to write a script to add it to any light source in the usda ...
Its only easy to people who can write such a script
thorny pawn
Its only easy to people who can write such a script
it will be automated once the RTX Remix tool is released
ember cobalt
@zinc meteor HellRaven has an issue where deleting/renaming the captures folder causes all lights to disappear in his game, whereas with my Skyrim (and others) setup, my lights remain active and functional when removing said captures folder
is the captures folder supposed to be necessary for that? or is Hellraven's (or my) setup possibly incorrect?
i'm sorry that this is poorly worded, i re-wrote it a few times and couldn't come up with anything better. i will also stop pinging you so much
ember cobalt
Its only easy to people who can write such a script
i just use chatgpt or bing for it most of the time. i've learned a lot of basic python from it though, which helps
and yeah, the final toolset should make this far more efficient

did it in Underground 1 but that shouldn't matter
ember cobalt
are you following Mark's tutorial?
@thorny pawn send me your mod.usda file

tawny elk
Ya'll be wild doing these references by hand
ember cobalt

tawny elk

can you post that video in the video tutorial thread as well?
I'd prefer to clean up first
ember cobalt

thorny pawn
mhmmm interesting, the only difference is the add reference step with the mesh
tawny elk
I honestly want to just type it up
tawny elk
mhmmm interesting, the only difference is the add reference step with the mesh
Don't do that
ember cobalt
videos showcase it so much better
thorny pawn
Don't do that
so that IS the issue 😄
ember cobalt
yeah, unfortunately Entity's tutorial has that in it
so your video would be a good replacement
tawny elk
Notice how in my mod.usda it just lists the mesh hash?
thorny pawn
thats why HellRaven depends on the captures folder
ember cobalt
so that IS the issue 😄
and good to know that is the source of the issue then, yeah
also i'm so sorry Mark. another needless ping
tawny elk
so your video would be a good replacement
Lemme get some text explaining what's going on at least before I post it. I don't want to confuse people cause I go through it so fast
ember cobalt
anything is good, thank ya
tawny elk
@cloud crypt please tell me you weren't placing every light by hand 
cloud crypt
I did 😅
ember cobalt
what script did you use to automate it? and how exactly did you set it up
cloud crypt
Well, it generated some lights for the other instances of the mesh, but yeah, for every mesh i did it by hand
tawny elk
The best thing is that if you add the light to the mesh hash, you can go back and tweak the instance of it, as in that specific one, later.

i am still curious about this btw. i know blueamulet made that plugin for FNV, but i didn't think you could reasonably automate it in a game like this

ember cobalt
Everything is so small scale wise in U2
in Barnyard, i have to set the camera speed to 0.01 to be able to do anything
ember cobalt
Automate adding lights?
yes
tawny elk
Don't think it's going to be as easy as it is for FNV. There's not that much in the way of reverse engineering done for the game tbh.
Plus I don't think the game had that many actual light sources? I could be wrong though
ember cobalt
i'm confused then. you're surprised hellraven placed them manually, but how could he have automated it for this game?
i probably missed something really simple here, lol
tawny elk
Oh maybe its marking the add light to texture?
ember cobalt
???
i'm so lost
did you find a way to automate adding lights to meshes in games like this one? or was that only for FNV

Loks like I missed a lot of discussion. But the reason for the problem was referencing the captured mesh VS using preserverOriginalDrawCall.
If you use preserveOriginalDrawCall, remix will draw the original draw call normally, then add whatever lights you added using the transform from the draw call.
If you reference the captured mesh, then Remix isn't actually drawing the original draw call - it's drawing the captured mesh as a replacement. So if you delete the captured mesh, Remix is trying to draw a USD it can't find, so it just draws nothing.

That's looking sweet.
I don't know enough about the remix runtime to be much help. How are you doing the reflections?

metallic map updated xD
Have no more vigor for today. No matter what I try, it doesn't work like in the tutorial...
ill go to bed..

Well, runs kinda ok-ish? RTX 3070 and idk what FPS i'm getting xD
Still tho, loving it

How do you exactly attach lights though

like you have some specific coordinates or in-game meshes

I'm talking without even using omniverse, just the script
vague sparrow
I could use zolika1351 mod with free cam and world POS to like do it in some way
ember cobalt
the usda file is generated by omniverse. it's what tells Remix what to do for replacements
you can do it manually too
looks like this:
{
custom int preserveOriginalDrawCall = 1
def DiskLight "DiskLight" (
prepend apiSchemas = ["ShapingAPI"]
)
{
color3f color = (1, 0.97352403, 0.44401544)
float exposure = 1
float intensity = 15
float radius = 20
float shaping:cone:angle = 180
float shaping:cone:softness
float shaping:focus
color3f shaping:focusTint
asset shaping:ies:file
double3 xformOp:rotateXYZ = (0, 0, 90)
double3 xformOp:scale = (1, 1, 1)
double3 xformOp:translate = (-998.1113490661937, 14.408741596001, 494.1200148441598)
uniform token[] xformOpOrder = ["xformOp:translate", "xformOp:rotateXYZ", "xformOp:scale"]
}
}```once you have the formatting, it wouldn't be difficult to add it to a mesh just by changing the mesh_hash at the top
vague sparrow
Hmm seems like there are coordinates and coarse tuning as well
ember cobalt
the usda file is basically just a reference for Remix to use for replacements
ember cobalt
yes

underground 2 had these tinted fog effects for each area of the city, you guys should definitely check this out

ok.

ok.

Adjusting the EV settings gets me a much better look I found out. I think this video makes things a bit too bright
halcyon ether
theres some weird stuff going on in the distance ^^
tawny elk
For sure
I think it's ghosts
Got a lamp for the lamp for the neon sign
||My discord be broken sorry for the double uploads and such.||

wayyy too bright.

||My discord be broken sorry for the double uploads and such.||
it's for everyone 😦
tawny elk
wayyy too bright.
Yea, AE adjustment is needed. If you lower the actual amount of light in the scene you get problems with noise
ember cobalt
ae? after effects?
tawny elk
Automatic Exposure
ember cobalt
Automatic Exposure
makes sense
i was starting to do the same with Barnyard. tons of noise before that
jade briar
huh
tawny elk
Yea, I wish the rendering team at nvidia hinted at how it's better to add lots of light and then use AE to adjust how the scene appears
jade briar
Everyone knows that low light/less direct light = a ton of noise.
Universal with all path tracers.
jade briar
Yeah i've seen up to 20 duplicated messages
ember cobalt
it's still good information for people to know
also, is anyone else having issues with Remix crashing?
jade briar
hmm

emissive maps are my enemy
apparently they can't be transparent?
also omniverse never previews emissive maps properly
balmy chasm
Oh, where do you plan to get Paralax interior maps?
vague sparrow
a very expensive workaround is to update the asset entirely to make room for emissives seperately
vague sparrow
Oh, where do you plan to get Paralax interior maps?
Tis a joke, only thing you can do is remake the geometry behind those interior textures and keep it as simple as possible to give the effect of buildings having rooms
balmy chasm
Really? Because it sounds like just changing shader on the mesh and applying single texture
tawny elk
> Changing the shader on the mesh
We got 3 shaders we can use and none of them allow for parrallax mapping sadly
ember cobalt
and it's only 3 to reduce the performance hit
balmy chasm
Welp, nothing we can do then :D
vague sparrow
Really? Because it sounds like just changing shader on the mesh and applying sin...
and that shader will cause the path tracer renderer to update the scene everytime you move the camera around the Parallax, very expensive
balmy chasm
Never really bothered to look how such shader works with path tracing. Are we even able to disable path tracing for any shader at all?
spark moon
also, is anyone else having issues with Remix crashing?
yea in San Andreas Alt Tabbing crashing for me...same as the issue you posted
ember cobalt
i saw, forgot to mention you
there's this discussion regarding it: https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1114261497187667978
they're looking into it, so we just have to wait
vapid blade
need the latest nvidia driver?
jade briar
Probably
ember cobalt
i was fine on 531.29
cloud crypt
I dont have that problem.
And for the lighting, i cant look into then until tomorrow.
And kim, do you know why no editor opens in ov when going on edit?
ember cobalt
i'm not sure what you mean
cloud crypt
Right click on mod.usda in layers, then edit and nothing happens
ember cobalt
i'd assume you don't have a text editor assigned
cloud crypt
But how to do that
cloud crypt
Ive set the editor, then vs code and still nothing
ember cobalt
unfortunately i have no idea why it wouldn't work
there's no settings in omniverse itself that i can find, so it must be some incompatibility between omniverse and windows
cloud crypt
I use win 11 latest updates
ember cobalt
maybe right click on a USDA file in explorer and set a default program to open with? or is that what you did already
cloud crypt
maybe right click on a USDA file in explorer and set a default program to open w...
Already did that
ember cobalt
i dunno then, sorry 😦
cloud crypt
Np, thx anyways
tawny elk
Try reinstalling ov?
