NFSU2 (Need For Speed Underground 2)

[surreal ruin]

Perhaps on your system aye, but that's not really how PC hardware works I'm afraid

But let's be real, if you're running cuberpunk with pathtracing, you probably don't need to ask in here if your computer is good enough to work 😛

[pearl matrix]

What i mean is theres plenty of benchmark videos testing cyberpunk on different hardware

So simply search your hardware testing that game with path tracing and you can expect pretty much the same results here

[surreal ruin]

I get your point, but that's an extremely unreliable measurement system for something like this

[bright hedge]

they just found the game on the side of the street, near a trashcan 😂

[surreal ruin]

My 2070 super can get like, 40 fps or so using cyberpunks path tracer

I'm lucky if I get 30 in this 😛

[thorn sable]

Hi everyone, i use rtx 4060 ti without any overlays, game crashed after press "enter", please help

[tawny elk]

Game crashes sometimes. Is it persitant across multiple attempts to start the game?

[thorn sable]

No, I can't even go to the game menu after creating a profile, sorry for my bad english, i use google translate

[tawny elk]

Is this only when using remix?

[thorn sable]

Yes, but Portal rtx works well

[tawny elk]

Weird. Don't know what's going on then Maybe running out of vram?

[thorn sable]

No, my card has 16 gb vram

[old condor]

i have a question real quick so i have the mod for rtx remix but what does this do

rtxbridge and nvlauncher do i open those because when i do it does nothing

[desert ridge]

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/rtx-remix/wiki/Runtime-User-Guide

[old condor]

well that might be why i dont have the rtx remix downloader

see

idk this is for nfs underground 2 remix but thats what i get

[desert ridge]

What is it that you want to do, exactly? Are you simply looking to play the game, or do you want to understand what's inside the "trex" folder?

[balmy whale]

i guess this was the original ground texture in the left side, no? ive found the original image in high res

[thorn sable]

It works! without widesceenfix, but if i change another screen resolution in game, game crash...

[old condor]

because thats where i was confused at

[old condor]

okay so basically someone told me about the nvidia bridge application and they told me about this launcher the rtx remix. i asked if i need that since well when you open the game it tells you to press alt x anyways so do i need to use rtx remix downloader before the game?

[desert ridge]

Every file in the mod folder is necessary; we don't include any useless files. Simply run the game executable file. Have you encountered any issues with the game?

[old condor]

so the only issues i ran into is fps drops stays at 60 for 30 mins and then drops. my cpu runs at like 70% when playing the game but my vram is only at 4gbs i have a 3060ti 12 gb so idk

[desert ridge]

The mod already includes the "RTX Remix" file, so you don't need the "RTX Remix Downloader." However, if you want to update Remix to the latest build, the "RTX Remix Downloader" allows for easy downloading without the need to log in to GitHub or go through extra steps to obtain the latest build.

[desert ridge]

I'm not sure what's causing the issue, but we're experiencing some frame drop problems in a specific area.

[old condor]

oh okay so it is not me i appreciate you for your time my man seriously i really love this mod and i only hope that it is completed i can wait. but all the assist helps. i wish i can sit with someone so they can see my game and they can help me further but your help and your time means everything. i just wanna add this to my retro content and so far i love the project regardless of any issues ❤️

[desert ridge]

This project is in a very early stage, and we're still in the trial-and-error phase. Nothing has been optimized yet. The performance drop may be caused by certain transparency textures from the original game. However, I believe that if we replace more assets in the game, the performance drop might increase further. This is because we'll be replacing high-resolution textures and meshes with higher polygon counts.

[old condor]

i am willing to wait for sure though i think for what it is now it looks fantastic maybe soon ill get a better GPU but so far i love it. all the hard work put into it is amazing!

[wicked cedar]

thx to Uncle Burrito ❤️ 😁

[surreal ruin]

WIDE-corolla

[jade briar]

STRETCH

[pearl matrix]

Path tracing on a 4:3 10 inch office monitor

[surreal ruin]

Honestly I'm into that

I want to see someone run remix on a 4:3

Proper CRT too ofc

Make it happen folks

[pearl matrix]

Good luck finding a crt with hdmi

[surreal ruin]

There are adapters!

I used to use one back when I made PS1 style games

But that CRT was old as shit and died on me

[pearl matrix]

Mine is also dead so rip

[surreal ruin]

😭

[jade briar]

I had one but I gave it away

[tawny elk]

I had an early IBM color monitor but it didn't survive my last move from being so heavy 😦

[polar karma]

is there a tutorial?

[rapid hinge]

hey y'all love this project you've been working on. what a way to bring this game back to life. I was trying to understand how to make everything work like it should but i guess my inexperience shows itself rn

any clue how to fix this issue of lights not remembering where they are?

everything keeps popping in and out

[jade briar]

It's a current limitation

[rapid hinge]

heres some examples

[jade briar]

oh wait

[rapid hinge]

in gameplay demos these issues wer enot apparent

[jade briar]

wow

Hold on

Do you see anticulling patch in the scripts folder

[rapid hinge]

lemme check

yup

[rapid hinge]

sorry not a "patch" patch, i have an .asi file named like that, that's what you were asking right?

[jade briar]

Yes

Did you download the latest moddb version?

[forest salmon]

I say, let there be reflections. 😁

[vague sparrow]

oh yeah now this is the stuff

[rapid hinge]

the 03, yes. using everything that was the latest available.

[jade briar]

Hmm

Well, one option is to press alt+x>developer settings menu>rendering>anti culling light>and turn that on

That will stop lights from disappearing behind you

But it won't fix pop-in in front of you

[rapid hinge]

Yess, there we go. At least it's somewhat tolerable rn

Thank you 🙌

[dapper root]

Holy shit 😳 🤯

[fair crystal]

Whats causing that limitation?

[jade briar]

The game's original engine

[fair crystal]

Gotcha

[vague sparrow]

its gotta load the lights first to apply anti culling

[bright hedge]

i see remix is evolving

[wheat moth]

Is there some channel that has only the updates and not the constant spamming?

[jade briar]

The pins

[urban crane]

am i stupid or is discord weird again, the instructions and files message link jumps me to this message instead? #1103377328530276403 message

[ember cobalt]

discord constantly screws up jumping to messages

usually you just have to scroll up a bit

[urban crane]

scrolled for like 5 minutes and couldn't find

[valid geyser]

oryouknowmaybehaveapublicdiscordserverforug2remixwithachanneldedicatedforimportantlinksonly 🤭

[ember cobalt]

if discord was actually capable of going to a link, it wouldn't be an issue

[tiny nimbus]

gah damn

[ember cobalt]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/need-for-speed-underground-2-remix/downloads/underground-2-remix-03

[urban crane]

oh yea i did find that, just that the first message links to some different message, i guess is just not updated

[ember cobalt]

ah, okay

@tawny elk seems you need to update the channel's original message

[tawny elk]

Any recommendations on what to put it as?

[ember cobalt]

just a direct link to the latest download and describe the state of the project, what players should expect

[prime rose]

At some point that remix logo will need to be updated, the gaps between lettering just look so amateur 😄
(no offense to whoever did it, just saying it needs an update at some point)

[tawny elk]

How’s that?

[ember cobalt]

i'd provide a direct link to the latest download if possible. a lot of people are having issues going to the pinned message because Discord keeps screwing up

[plain lantern]

i got 35-50fps at RTX 4090 XD

[cloud crypt]

Turn on DLSS😂

UG2 remix only runs with dlss smoothly, franegen isnt needed to be honest

[plain lantern]

@cloud crypt at Performance is the same

frame generator crash game

[cloud crypt]

At Performance i habe 70 with a 4070Ti, on quality i have 50 and without only 30fps

The frame gen crashes are related to msi afterburner/riva tuner

With the latest buiöd from moddb everything should work.
Elsewise you need to update remix manually

[severe solstice]

frame gen not crash on 1080p res

[narrow current]

hey i have a question

everytime i start my game the screen is black and can only hear the music

[wintry fable]

can't unsee doors here

[trim vector]

Anyone gotten dlssg-to-fsr3 running on this yet?

[vague sparrow]

nope it won't work yet

FSR3 for vulkan (used by remix for its rendering) isn't developed yet

[trim vector]

Ah okay cheers

[topaz token]

this game gives me real payback vibes

[bright hedge]

payback has least vegas vibe i ever seen in that city

[south crater]

how to achieve these reflections?

[topaz token]

graphics wise ofc

[forest salmon]

By this guide #1103377328530276403 message then i did my own fine tune on those settings.

[balmy whale]

are you planning to re-model traffic cars?

[pearl matrix]

@sour ridge just follow the guide in this message

[cloud drift]

hey, where can i find the instalation instructions?

[sour ridge]

yeah, thx but i put the same config but doest look good 😦

[pearl matrix]

lower roughness and keep metallic at 50

[sour ridge]

Okk

[cloud drift]

how can i change this strange box, i notice that in high presets dosent appear

[old condor]

someone please help i tried to make cars glossy idk whats going on but this issue i ran into with missing textures

[old condor]

nvm got it to work now all i need to be answered is how do i get my lights from back to front to work and nitros?

[stuck ferry]

can anyone guide me on how to install this mod

[stuck ferry]

ok thanks

[jade briar]

You didn't follow the tutorial correctly

[old condor]

@jade briar i got the help to fix the issue i did everything properly step by step but i put the wrong file in. my apologies

[jade briar]

Your map looks square to me

[old condor]

yeah that was the last pic but i fixed it and the graphics dont look bad its just the map that is the only problem now @jade briar

[stuck ferry]

i installed the pinned mod and after sometime it loaded on blackscreen and then closed

[jade briar]

rEAD THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY

[vague sparrow]

very carefully

[stuck ferry]

i cant seem to find the instructions ;-;

sorry

please help

[surreal ruin]

https://www.moddb.com/mods/need-for-speed-underground-2-remix/downloads/underground-2-remix-03

In the description of the link in the pins

[stuck ferry]

i did used this , but when i run it keeps loading on blackscreen then closes

[surreal ruin]

Right so the issue isn't that you couldn't find the instructions then

Sounds to me like you've installed it wrong

[stuck ferry]

can i dm?

[surreal ruin]

Show your install folder

No

[stuck ferry]

ok wait

[surreal ruin]

Please keep the chat to here

I'm not tech support 😛

[stuck ferry]

yes sorry

here

[surreal ruin]

It looks like you have Reshade in there

DO you have other mods too?

Lots of that stuff is incompatible and will make things break

I'd suggest you install remix into a clean install of the game

[stuck ferry]

ok i'll try it now, thanks

[royal aspen]

im having major performance issues, i do not know if its my pc. i followed the video step by step on a fresh install

i need to play on "high redering preset" & "Ultra Pref DLSS mode" to even hit 40fps

and is it possible to enable DLSS 3.0 in dev menu?

[jade briar]

What gpu do you have?

[royal aspen]

2060 super

[jade briar]

Then no

[royal aspen]

cocks

you think its a gpu problem in general?

[jade briar]

Only the 40 series has the hardware required for to run frame gen

[royal aspen]

oh

interesting

excluding frame gen, do i need a 40 series to run this smoothly?

[south crater]

Dont know if this has been said

but the nvidia upscaler isnt the best 😦

[jade briar]

20 series is the minimum, so yeah

[royal aspen]

god im so outdated

[south crater]

I used a program called Cupscale and it gave me way better results than nvidia's, def gonna use it to keep the original asethetics

[royal aspen]

[jade briar]

This is more suited for #general-remix

[south crater]

oh didnt know 😄

[surreal ruin]

Yeah we don't use any AI for this project

[south crater]

thats literally what remix does, in forms of upscaling. .. .

[surreal ruin]

It's just one small part of it

For this project we make everything from scratch

[ember river]

The issue is that often, AI upscaling models use a lot of artists' copyright arts to be trained without their consent, so there is a lot of heated discussion about it throughout the community, and it usually produces very bad results for many usecases, while we want to really get our hands dirty with the craft of authoring remastered assets for the project, without relying on "lazy" ways of doing it 😉

So it is more of a philosophical issue

[surreal ruin]

We also have a lot of very talented artists on our team

So we really don't need to rely on ethically questionable methods when the team is capable of making things ourselves

[south crater]

Makes sense thanks for the straight response, not too passive aggressive

[ember river]

Not to mention the backlash that kind of thing receives from the community when they find out there is AI content on the project 😬

EDIT: I meant "backlash", not "backslash" \ lol

[surreal ruin]

Backslash is for when they start cutting you

[ember river]

Well I was sure it was spelled "Backslash" until I had a little itch at back of my head thinking about it. Had to look that up lol

[desert ridge]

Even someone as lazy as me, who used CC0 textures to create mods before, has now decided to step up and learn how to use Substance Painter to create PBR textures. I want to meet the minimum quality requirements for the project.😜

[surreal ruin]

Oh Hemry shut up

You and your art is brilliant

You gotta learn to credit yourself a bit more ❤️

[ember river]

I second all that. Hemry has such a level of humbleness that many ppl could learn a lot from

But it is also important to step up as a professional, your stuff is great, mate!

[surreal ruin]

Hemry appreciation day ya'll.

[vague sparrow]

The only thing AI is useful for

[desert ridge]

I just wanted to express my admiration for all of you in the team. You have all impressed me so much that it has motivated me to strive for self-improvement.❤️

[surreal ruin]

https://tenor.com/view/gin-gif-25909324

[blazing bone]

the only correct way of making textures is taking selfies and replacing every texture with your face

[royal aspen]

hey, this may not be about the rtx remix but does anyone have a solution to infinite loading?

it doesnt freeze or anything, it just loads

[spark moon]

UG1 texture

[slender arch]

how did you got that working?

[spark moon]

it is working all along

since ug2 working

[slender arch]

i mean

ug1 on rtx remix is hooked

[spark moon]

yea i am also saying about remix on ug

[vague sparrow]

it always worked

i should probably update the compatibility list

[spark moon]

this is how orginal looks

[slender arch]

it does but mine,s only does hooking

[spark moon]

now check the diffrence

[vague sparrow]

@spark moon can you make emissive maps for the buildings? seems very dull even without the added light sources for some reason

[spark moon]

i am not expert but maybe i have to try

[vague sparrow]

might have an effect

[spark moon]

yes not evry window...those who have i can dd emmesiveness there

[spark moon]

i need help with this issue

[spark moon]

how didyou fixed it @jade briar

[ember river]

I'm not sure what to look at

[jade briar]

fix what?

[spark moon]

as i move theres a blakiness fades away thats annoying

[ember river]

Could you record a video? Windows Key+G opens xbox overlay, you can record a short 10 seconds clip from there which should fit the 50mb discord file size limit

[pearl matrix]

the way rear lights shine looks so much better than ug2

[vague sparrow]

@spark moon can you make remix project thread that's specifically for UG1? Thanks

[timid prairie]

if this project will be finished one day, there is logo ready for it

[vague sparrow]

What?

[ember river]

Hmmm it seems like a glossyness map issue similar to Hemry's in MidnightClub. Did you try unticking that "Use Legacy Alpha State" flag I mentioned eariler? Could also help

[spark moon]

havent tried it yet and i have not added any metalness and roughness map

created a thread https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1205571902035329134

[past stream]

is it normal for the car to be this blury?

i mean i dont mind it but is distracting

[jade briar]

hmm

What do you mean blurry

[ember river]

If you mean, no reflections, yeah, we're working on solutions but since the player can customize the car texture, we can't simply lock into them and set them to be shiny, so all cars are matte just like that

[past stream]

no i think is my screan or something

[desert ridge]

Try edit the in game graphic setting

[past stream]

i have everything but the texture filtering

[desert ridge]

I noticed there is a white shadow present, which shouldn't be there. Could you please confirm if you copied the rtx.conf file from the mod?

[past stream]

you mean this one ?

[desert ridge]

Yes

[timid prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/uh-oh-look-out-im-in-trouble-eye-roll-eye-twitch-gif-16377346

what

[patent mica]

Hey all, new here. I got the game installed last night, it runs. Is there a "guide" for optimal video settings/RTX settings in the alx-x menu? It seems like some videos I have seen online, the road textures look amazing. But mine did not look very good, and like the roads kept loading in. I followed the video install guide from the git and it was a clean install. I have not changed any settings yet in the alt-x menu. If I overlooked this on the git, sorry in advance. Once I get home I'll be experimenting with settings, but just was curious if there was a "list" somewhere.

[jade briar]

Pretty sure the git version is outdated

[ember river]

yeah use the moddb one, its a drag n drop / extract zip file

[patent mica]

thats awesome lol yeah that seems to have worked. now I'm having a gas pedal stuck bug? controls were working fine last night both with just keyboard/mouse or x360 wired controller. I don't think its anything else on my PC causing it. Going to search around and see what I can find out

[patent mica]

That was the problem. Thank you!

[ember river]

lol nah, nothing to do with remix I think. You can disable remix and play vanilla game by renaming d3d9.dll to anything else to test it out

[patent mica]

someone posted similar symptoms on reddit so it might be a widescreen fix bug or something. either way thank you, I'll get this controller stuff figured out. I was amazed by the little I played last night

[prime rose]

Why is the "remix" font so different and have weird gaps between letters? It really just needs to be the same font as the "need for speed" at the top, which it isn't (the letter E is different)

[timid prairie]

Font is the same as UNDERGROUND, gosh, same topic after many f**king years

[brittle bloom]

messing with settings

my poor 3070 disliked this

[vague sparrow]

Yeah it's not gonna handle this very smoothly

Try running at lower resolutions without dlss on

[timber jasper]

I occasionally get a major stutter, is anyone else experiencing this too?
FG is disabled and DLAA enabled

[vague sparrow]

can you tell us your PC specs

this is major frame spike

[timber jasper]

RTX 4090 + Ryzen 5900x + 32GB RAM

[vague sparrow]

odd behavior

did you check whether your Nvidia drivers are up to date?

[timber jasper]

I'm running the latest drivers

[pearl matrix]

Delete the cache and re-apply the rtx.conf

Also how did you enable DLAA when its not even in rtx remix?

[timber jasper]

I'm setting DLSS to Full Resolution

[jade briar]

Starting to correct the horrors of the UVs.

[sharp sinew]

oh damn thats looking great

[tawny elk]

I gotta try out that trick of applying decals that you used in cod2

[narrow current]

i cant get my game to start

[ionic prawn]

fixed the white lights??

[narrow current]

my game wouldmt open

[cloud crypt]

Hey guys, after there wasnt so much coming from me the last months i decided to get back into this project.
That means a lot of things will change in future. Like some of you know i was someone who made the lighting and mainly the main menu garage. In the next release i will provide a highly modified version of the main menu garage. You wouldnt trust your eyes.
This picture is old, about 2 month to be clear, but it gives you a sneak peak of what you can await from us: the NFS U2 Remix Team.

This project is far from finished and we are open for help. So if someone has something important to mention pls dont hesitate to tell us.

In love to the community
Yours
HellRaven_Exp (HellRaven Mods)

[sharp sinew]

I never made it work though 😔 the decals I was working on were marked in remix as decal, they weren't replacements

[cobalt bone]

Is there a way to remap the controls?

[vapid gust]

perhaps

[valid geyser]

shiiiiit mate, that looks glorious

[dusty grove]

Finally proper nfsu2rtx review
https://youtu.be/Y_poyvc0dPk?si=vm7LZohm02vQ_RpH

[vague sparrow]

People are really judging this too early

[dusty grove]

But he has good points about art direction, that some scenes are overbrigh, and in general is good proof of concept, but a ton of things need to be fixed.
I guess he is right

[long totem]

Almost like it's WIP.

[cloud crypt]

It is WIP, i dont get why YouTubers dont get this...

The lighting will change comepletly in future since i am back now.
We are aware of the rhings that needs to get changed.

[pearl matrix]

yeah kinda wish it didnt got popular

[jade briar]

Every day I kinda regret making this, but I'm also kinda glad because it has given me a long term purpose.

[vague sparrow]

it really hit me when he said it looks like enb

[pearl matrix]

yeah they now got a bad impression and wont give it another chance once the project is finalized

[timid prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/eyeing-harry-harris-joel-edgerton-thirteen-lives-staring-gif-26458687

well, welcome to reality

its same people who rates GTA 6 Beta as a final product and saying it looks like GTA 5 (even though it really isn't)

[slender arch]

Just like judging the book by the cover

[dusty grove]

Nah he didn't, it was chat comment that kuruhs disagree saying: "this mod has a lot more going into this".

[ember river]

I'm not particularly worried. We keep giving the community smaller but frequent updates so ppl can contribute with their view along the time we develop the mod, and once it gets to a mature level, we go heavy on marketing the thing to bring the work to the surface again.
Its just wild west atm

Didn't watch the video yet btw

[tawny elk]

I don't wanna listen to the haters

[jade briar]

I watched 3 minutes
Heard complaining
Closed

No time for haters. I have a mod to develop

[surreal ruin]

This is why I really don't want to release any early builds of my other mod

Because a lot of people just don't understand what "WIP" means

[ember cobalt]

yeah, people are stupid. they see something mildly interesting and take it to use for content without doing ANY research into what the damn thing is

then people watch it and fully believe with they say in the video

[old condor]

i will be honest about something here and it may be a unpopular opinion of mine or may not be my place but as much i respect kuru and alot of other creators sharing their criticism towards helping the project get better. i think the only thing that matters is what you guys are doing with this project. i do not see anyone else taking the time not even EA to give us a remaster so why wait if you guys are already 10 steps ahead. it may not finish tomorrow or maybe next month but when its finish it will be glorious. its about you guys and your time invested in the remix project. again all respect to the creators i respect their opinions.

[ember river]

That is my point. Is not that we don't care about criticism. Both constructive and destructive ones are point data for the project and we do listen. Basically:

1. We're figuring out a lot of workflows to make things happen, so we do mess up a lot
2. Art direction is an ongoing effort that keeps updating and living as long as a project is active
3. We have time and passion for it, so one time or another it will get there
4. It is quite cheap and cheesy to drop a "based" comment saying "not equal original, raytracing bad, art direction booo" and everyone goes " ". Ofc, it is called "mod" for a reason, but we do understand the game's intention, and with time reiterating points 1 and 2 👆 we'll get there, it just takes a lot of effort and research to understand the tools and limitations to play with what we have

So please, keep your feedbacks coming. They're really important for us

[old condor]

i definately understand what you mean my man i look forward to the project getting better so far i love it i have no issues!

[ember cobalt]

yeah, i have no problem with criticism. sorry if my comment came off that way. i do have a problem with how much misinformation there is out there about Remix though, and it really sucks to see how many times creators here have been crapped on as a result of it

[old condor]

yeah i think its really odd because what rolls in the back of my head or at least the only thought i have is that no one else besides you guys is working on it. so anything pass criticism is unnecessary but its fine.

[cloud crypt]

i watched the first 5 minutes of the vid now, i dont want to watch any further since hes trashtalking the "wip mod" like crazy

[safe patrol]

You guys are doing great work. At some point I'm hoping I can find some spare time in my life to hop back in and help out a bit again, but until then I'm cheering you on from the sidelines.

[jade briar]

All that you've done is much appreciated

[safe patrol]

Thanks, really! I don't know how much my contributions are even still in your current build, but that means a lot to me.

[jade briar]

Pretty sure everything is still there

We haven't gone back and tweaked stuff

Just new additions

[safe patrol]

The new HD lights meshes are definitely way better than what I could do back then. It's exciting seeing that to be honest

[cloud crypt]

well added my garage lighting, meshes and some new textures to the Lobby of the currrent build anyone can get on ModDB.

To make sure everyone understands it: The new Lobby only will be in he next release! ITS NOT IN THE CURRENT ONE!

Hope yall liking it

[old condor]

you guys have a very good thing going on here and im looking forward to anything. idc im still gonna talk positive about what i enjoy so far. i got this and the GT2 mod project to play so im super content!

[old condor]

where is the link i am interested!

[cloud crypt]

As i said, the new Lobby isnt in it yet

[old condor]

oh okay i am sorry

[jade briar]

[balmy whale]

I think what IGN and similar sites did is very misleading. They put up a video without much explanation. And IGN even compares it to the PS2 version, which I can't really understand why (but i understand,to make the difference even more visible). Yes, this mod looks horrible in its current form, but I know that the mod is in very early form, but I don't think anyone who watches an IGN video realizes that. Also these gamer magazines, by showing really weird looking rtx mods to the public, they encourage modders to make some horrible looking rtx mods for games fast.

[vague sparrow]

I think the only major grudge is the odd looking matte material on all car surfaces which is already solved by one of the modders

ofc more work is required to make the vinyls and decals look good but that requires more research and development

[uncut bay]

Maybe it's because the most people played on PS2

[vague sparrow]

how are you guys handling headlights? seems like the cone lights are placed a bit away from the car instead of inside the headlight housing

cuz this looks unnatural

maybe because its a placeholder of sorts? i saw there were actual headlights being made so maybe that will change with new releases

[safe patrol]

I wish we had a bot that just replied to everyone that this is WIP, there will be problems and issues and missing things, and everything is subject to change.

[vague sparrow]

you misjudged me too early, im not complaining

im simply giving out my suggestions based on the current stuff and i fully KNOW its a work in progress

[fair crystal]

Yeah, you're giving fair feedback i think

[ember river]

Don't think it was meant for yah. Prolly Count is just catching up with conversation lol

[vague sparrow]

[tawny elk]

I'm good at making pastas, lemme cook something

[fair crystal]

We also should have a texture written "this is a WIP" all the time on screen, just to be safe, just in case someone downloads the mod before getting into this discord server

[tawny elk]

I'd like to interject briefly to highlight that what's currently being discussed as a finished product is, in fact, a work in progress. This endeavor represents the collective effort of numerous individuals striving for excellence. It's important to recognize that while it may appear as a standalone achievement, it's far from complete and still evolving. Please support us with constructive feedback and encouragement. Together, we'll keep moving forward towards excellence.

[vague sparrow]

like a little overlay

on the whole screen

[surreal ruin]

We don't really have a way of doing that

Can't attach things to the camera

[vague sparrow]

game side modification

required

[surreal ruin]

Yeah, we're trying to avoid that as much as possible

[vague sparrow]

or wait nvm just use a reshade preset

i think it supports overlay

[surreal ruin]

We're not shipping any reshade stuff with the mod

[fair crystal]

Nah, just write it on every car texture

[surreal ruin]

Pretty insane to have people install a separate client just so we can add a watermark X)

[vague sparrow]

there gotta be a way Traggey

🤔

a big ass Work In Progress will calm them hater's nerves

[ember river]

We can also build remix from source, just to modify the 10 seconds text to print a message

[surreal ruin]

Could have modded one of the UI textures if remix actually allowed that

[vague sparrow]

what about the License plate

[surreal ruin]

Hahaha too small

Let's attach a giant fucking sign to the guide arrow mesh

[vague sparrow]

or

replace that arrow with a 3d WIP text

[surreal ruin]

Change the text on all roadsigns

"NOWHERE NEAR DONE"

[tawny elk]

Leave the prototype textures in

[surreal ruin]

Lol honestly

Not a bad idea X)

[tawny elk]

I still have the other PBR maps on those, which makes for an interesting look.

[safe patrol]

Ok you guys are awesome and Adam, you're hilarious. Sorry if I sounded a bit "get off my lawn". Dealing with a household full of sick people and that was the first thing I saw when I turned on my phone this morning.

[ember river]

I'm telling you that hotwheels rebrand is hot stuff

[snow coral]

Wait what? How is that possible to stretch triangle like that? Or are these triangles separated on UV map?

That could make sense

[tawny elk]

They used a 1:8 texture, and then stretched it out even more in the UV map. The mesh is pretty large.

[snow coral]

Bruh

[tawny elk]

2000 hours in blender

[jade kayak]

Honestly not half bad

[tawny elk]

That's why I spent 2000 hours on it

[surreal ruin]

Gotta respect the source engine purple checkerboard

[vague sparrow]

a big signboard would be nice as well

[cobalt bone]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-perhaps-family-guy-thinking-gif-13587558

[cloud crypt]

Ill send you later my files so you have the textures for the floor

[balmy chasm]

You're right about new light mesh replacements. They will fix unnatural look of lights. But even then, we will keep the "actual working" lights in their current place and just add another set of dim lights in their IRL positions because of overexposure issue. Also keep in mind, modelling this stuff is super time consuming and we got only default lights for starter cars somewhat ready for now. Custom lights will probably be postponed till the very end

hello is there a troubleshoot section here ? i can't run the mod even on my rig (rtx 4080, i5 13600k, 32 gb ddr5), it crashes right after the profile loading. my vanilla game runs flawlessly tho. i followed every tutorials but i still have this issue. btw keep up the good work you make our dream come true.

[spark wharf]

nevermind i found the issue, it was the main exe i had to use another to get it working properly.

#1103377328530276403 message

[solemn salmon]

So, uh... Sometime ago i returned to this game after a long time, and when i Heard that music, i had to make a video with it. And because i'm really into RTX-Remix, i decided to make it with this mod [i only added reflections using instructions posted by Hemry]. Because of my Not powerful enough RTX3050m GPU [and because i recorded it only in 720p, silly me but whatever], the results are... "Not great not terrible", but in this kind off game where you're mostly driving at 200Km/h, it's sometimes hard to notice [at least for me], even with DLSS turned on Performance/Ultra Performance mode. Actually, the lights which only show up when you're close enough to them [anti-culling at 100 lights somewhat helps with them flickering] were a Bigger problem for me to drive with, rather than on what setup i was playing this mod. Anyway, here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9h2lvv94ZY And i hope you'll still enjoy it [and my bad driving XD], as i enjoyed playing with this mod.

[leaden gust]

Hey guys apologies if this isn't the right place for this.
Anyways I did I followed the instructions but when I get to the title screen the game is super stuttering.
I don't remember this being a issue when I had a 3060 ti on version 0.2 of the mod and now I got a 4080.
Any help would be appreciated.

[pearl matrix]

do you have the latest drivers

also to install all you did was drag and drop the rtx folder in the game folder right?

[cloud crypt]

probably the best carbon you will ever see

[leaden gust]

Yes I got the newest drivers and I extracted the remix 0.3 folder and copy pasted all the contents to the games .exe

[pearl matrix]

whats your fps

you could delete the dxvk3d cache in the folder and see if its fixed

and dont enable frame gen

[cloud crypt]

framegen can cause crashes when u use riva tuner

[leaden gust]

I'm wondering now if it's a framerate issue with the games engine.
In-between the stutters it says I have over 800fps.

Although it shouldn't be sense my control panel I set a limit to 117fps

[cloud crypt]

when the engine renders above 120fps withouth remix it will give you a slow motion

so yeah, you have in to set FPSLimit = 0 in widescreenfix and widescreenmode = 4

[leaden gust]

OK let me try that

[pearl matrix]

it should already be set like that in 0.3 tho

[leaden gust]

Alright in control panel I set max fps to 60fps and turned on vsynch and I have the same result.
I did change it in widescreenfix as well.

[pearl matrix]

did you install it on a clean install tho

or over the old version of remix

i have a 4080 and im getting 70 - 80fps with dlss quality

[leaden gust]

Clean install.
I figured there would be a few changes so I deleted the whole folder and did a clean install from the 2 disc's.
Only thing a changed was I got the 1.2 patch and a noCD.exe so I didn't have to pull out the cd every time.

OK so one video is NFS without the rtx mod. The other is with it u can hear the slow down and stuttering.
The third is a issue I had back when I had a 3060 ti on 0.2 build that had been resolved.

[tawny elk]

Don’t set things like that in the control panel. And definitely don’t turn on vsync.

Use the widescreen fix to set the fps cap

Remix has its own vsync that you can toggle

[leaden gust]

So how do I use widescreenfix to set the cap?

[tawny elk]

The one labeled fpslimit =

[leaden gust]

It's not helping. Same issue.

[tawny elk]

If you disable enchantments, does it go away?

[leaden gust]

it does not

[cloud crypt]

what gpu u have?
which dlss preset u running?
any programs running in the background?

just use release 0.3.0 files?
what extra plugins u using?
any other mods installed?

[leaden gust]

4080
Dlss: custom didn't I'm assuming that's the default that came with the folder.

Background: wallpaper engine and whatever windows has.

Just the 3.0 release from moddb. Extracted that and put into the nfs folder where the speed2.exe is located.

No extra plugins

I installed patch 1.2 that officially released for the game.
Maybe that's a issue?

[topaz token]

whoever’s working on this, great job man

[leaden gust]

well can't be the patch then

[balmy chasm]

What is that another .exe up there?

[leaden gust]

That's to patch the game to v1.2

Unless you're referring to a different .exe?

[cloud crypt]

u need the hoodlum exe to run the game properly

[solemn salmon]

Actually, i had the same error on some crack [But i applied the patch that Auto installs itself before replacing exe], but when i clicked OK, the game runned fine anyway

Also, used Europe version of the game if that makes any difference

[leaden gust]

It launches the game with the noCD.exe but not with the 1.2.exe the patch creates.

I just can't get the game to stop stuttering and I don't know what the exact issue even is.
I've gone through it a few times now and nothing.
The vanilla game works fine its only after I extract from the rtx folder that it stutters hard.

[solemn salmon]

Did you tried disabling or lowering some settings? Like, the quality of Particles, Textures, DLSS, etc.? Or, maybe the cause lies within the Wallpaper engine somehow? Also, i remember using Windows 10 patch to the game, after installing the 1.2 patch, because without it the game didn't even wanted to run on 10 or 11. Anyway, i just replaced the exe which the patch created [didn't even know it replaced it], and no issues. Weird, didn't had this issue when i tried it on my 3050, but for obvious reasons i use DLSS on Performance, and it doesn't stutter at all.

[leaden gust]

See funny enough I didn't have this issue when I had a 3060 ti when the mod was in the 0.2 phase.
I'll try some more stuff later.
The only suggestions u made that I haven't tried was quitting wallpaper engine.
I turned off all the enhancements in the remix menu where I could with how stuttering it was.

[solemn salmon]

https://www.reddit.com/r/needforspeed/comments/6pgbpv/psa_if_you_get_lagging_in_the_menus_in_nfs_most/ try also this, but the Widescreen fix should already have it included in it [in config of it you can turn it on or off]. So, maybe your game is just not for some weird reason loading the Widescreen fix, and without it the game Weirds out and causes stutters?

[leaden gust]

Didn't work unfortunately. I'm pretty stumped man.
Only thing I can think of trying is to try out a different rtx remix game to see if the same issue persists or not.

[solemn salmon]

If you have/own Legacy of kain: Blood Omen 2 or Defiance (the second one is often fairly cheap on steam, the first one requires using "revamped" dll wrapper to work), then they are easy to open with rtx remix, so you can try running them and seeing if the issue persists. Source games should also work out of the box (i think). You could also maybe try downloading the newest release of rtx-remix runtime from github, and replacing the older version from the mod with it, just to see if this will change anything. I could also send you my rtx.conf for this game (or even send you my whole game but that would take a lot of time xd), which maaaybe will help you or not, but not today, maybe tomorrow, don't have access to it rn. Aside from that, i'm also all out of ideas on how to help you.

[leaden gust]

I highly appreciate it man.
I'll see what games I happen to have for remix and go from there.
Appreciate the help everyone even if sadly nothings worked.

[pearl matrix]

You could try finding another build of the game. Somehow. And try that

[jade briar]

[slate grove]

How well it should run on a 4090? My fps sometimes drop to like 20

[foggy terrace]

I want to know this as well but for the RTX 4090 mobile.

[wintry fable]

on 4K i have 45fps
with fhd i have almost stable 100fps depends on how fast I'm moving

with 4090

[slate grove]

Interesting, i play on 1440p and its not stable at all

[pearl matrix]

probably crazy DLSS

balanced i guess

[slate grove]

is it possible to make the cars look shiny and not matte?

[balmy chasm]

#1103377328530276403 message

[slate grove]

Thanks a lot man, i was searching for it but couldnt find it

Idk why but my car sound is lagging

Every other sound works fine

[carmine coyote]

idk why it doesnt work but the rtx remix for ug2 does not for me

back then i tried when its released for portal

it just wouldnt work too

i would just get a black screen and game would crash

on ug2 nothing just happens

im just trying to run SPEED2.EXE but nothing happens

[carmine coyote]

i made it work somehow

but what settings should i use?

i have a 3060 and a r5 5500

oh shoot

the car's shadows are just blur

[vague sparrow]

How are the fps figures?

[carmine coyote]

fps figures?

my game is like this rn

as you can see

there is blur on the road

literal blur

[vague sparrow]

Oh that

[carmine coyote]

how do i fix it?

[vague sparrow]

I dont know sorry

[carmine coyote]

ty

[vague sparrow]

Maybe someone else who knows remix can figure out this problem

[carmine coyote]

ok thank you

its still fun to play even like this

it makes me remember my childhood

[vague sparrow]

How many fps are you getting I mean

[carmine coyote]

its pretty low

20-30

[vague sparrow]

Turn on DLSS performance

[carmine coyote]

but it doesnt really feel bad

k

now im at 30's but its stable now

[vague sparrow]

Cheers 🥂

[pearl matrix]

you can turn off blur in the remix settings

in the menu where dlss is

[carmine coyote]

what

[pearl matrix]

rendering

[pearl matrix]

motion blur

[carmine coyote]

lemme trt

try*

nope

[pearl matrix]

if it doesnt work

[carmine coyote]

its still the same

[pearl matrix]

try bumping those from low to high

[pearl matrix]

then set dlss to balanced to make up for the fps loss

[carmine coyote]

bro

i have a 3060 its not that much of a great card

i get 30's with dlss balanced

on medium

[pearl matrix]

then bigger than balanced xD

[carmine coyote]

ok wait

[pearl matrix]

just check to see if it eliminates the blur

it could be the denoiser quality option

[pearl matrix]

set them to high one by one until the blur goes away to find out which option is

[carmine coyote]

i tried it

it doesnt go away

i just switched to ultra

and its fixed

[pearl matrix]

hm

[pearl matrix]

i dont see the blur anymore

[carmine coyote]

yep its fixed

when i switch to

[jade briar]

[carmine coyote]

ultra

preset

[jade briar]

It has probably something to do with denoiser quality

[carmine coyote]

thanks

how can i make the cars seem shiny instead of full matte

[jade briar]

Put these files in this directory and replace.

Then follow this video

@carmine coyote

This directory

Make sure to save settings for remix on the bottom

[vague sparrow]

That blur has to be some sort of AO or shadow decal that under the car

[jade briar]

no

[vague sparrow]

what is it then

[jade briar]

Low quality denoising

[carmine coyote]

also gotta ask

why is the performance

so low

its still fun because of the nostalgia but

i use a 3060 i dont think the card is that bad

right?

[jade briar]

The card isn't bad, but remix uses full path tracing. It requires a very beefy computer to run smoothly

That's why you'll have to use dlss and low settings

Also did you get shiny cars working?

[vague sparrow]

Why can't we have shiny car mod.usda merged into main mod

I see some part of canyon get reflective properties because it hasn't been worked on yet

[jade briar]

Because we figured it out after release

[vague sparrow]

Fair enough

[desert ridge]

If you come across any strange shiny surfaces in the game, please send me the texture hash. I can add it to my Python script and generate a new "rough_only.usda" file. I accidentally deleted the entire RTX-Remix folder previously. I captured the entire scene in one night, but there's a possibility that I may have missed some areas or forgotten to capture certain parts. That's why the texturehash is not included in the "rough_only.usda" file.

[solemn salmon]

Set everything high and use DLSS on performance, you can live with it. Also, turn on Anti culling lights, and set it to max 100 lights.

[fair crystal]

Thanks guys, y'all are doing an awesome job. I love how even the arrow has its own shadow, how cool the light looks when it hits the asphalt. Runs like crap on a 2060, but damn, this is awesome.

[sick sapphire]

How did you achieve this level of detail?

[pearl matrix]

All path tracing settings maxed out + that car reflection guide

[carmine coyote]

havent tried yet, just woke up and gonna try it

[carmine coyote]

bros gpu is suffering

82 degrees and almost full vram usage

[carmine coyote]

it worked

[jade briar]

Enjoy

[vague sparrow]

It's a 6gb card, what do you expect

[carmine coyote]

thanks

[carmine coyote]

nothing

in terms of path tracing

but it wouldnt use so much vram on my card i have a 12gig one but

it only uses up to

3-4gb

[vague sparrow]

i mean for take screenshots then yeah 💀

its doable

[fair crystal]

Turn off dlss and check how much Vram it uses when you run it at max resolution. The gpu just ☠️

But your screenshots will look beautiful

[topaz token]

don’t you feel its a little too bright? or is it just me

[sick sapphire]

I open my game and the screen goes completely black

[fair crystal]

Its a big city, there will be light pollution. I see it as a feature.

[topaz token]

makes sense

the colours looks niice

[sick sapphire]

My screen just stays black, what do I do?

[sick sapphire]

I managed to download the correct version, now I wanted someone to pass on the presset file.
@pearl matrix Can you go through the settings you made to leave it at that quality?

[jade briar]

huh

[pearl matrix]

alt + x and just set rendering preset to ultra

[pearl matrix]

and then follow this guide for reflections

i also didnt use DLSS at all in that screenshot

[carmine coyote]

just wait

it was black on me at the first glance too the game opens after like 30 sec or smth

on the first launch

[proven python]

Mine looks like this no matter what. I'm sure this isn't normal

[desert ridge]

Woo, there's a black hole that swallows all the light?

[proven python]

😦

[solemn salmon]

You probably don't have Direct lighting enabled in Remix settings, or the Indirect one. Or, it's just probably the enviroment and you should drive someplace else. lul

[cloud crypt]

we/ i need o fix that in the the lighting update which will happen when we placed all PBRs

[sick sapphire]

I waited for more than 10 minutes, and the menu music played, you can hear the menu effect sounds, even with the screen black, finally I downloaded a new game and went through the whole process and it worked.

[sick sapphire]

OMG! 18 FPS

[light mica]

When I install this mod the game doesn't even open, did anyone had this issue?

[desert ridge]

Are you playing the game on a HDD?

[snow coral]

that's 1:1 find

[sick sapphire]

SSD

[desert ridge]

The loading shouldn't take so long. Perhaps try closing all background applications before running the game.

Friendly reminder: Chrome or Edge might still be running in the background, so make sure to disable them manually.

[carmine coyote]

what gpu are u playing on

[sick sapphire]

RTX3060, but guys, I already solved this problem by installing a new game

[jade kayak]

Just for info: I once had the game loading to the first splash screen for about 3-4 minutes. I was already trying to close it and it just loaded and started working as usual

Never happened again though, not sure what that was about

[twin sandal]

With the original legit version of the game it happens infinite loading screen?

I tried some mods in the past, same thing

I re installed Windows so now i have to get moar fps

[balmy whale]

yes, thats the source image for that texture, i posted it for the developers this mod to use it

[plain lantern]

did frame generator crash game??

[jade briar]

It does sometimes

[plain lantern]

i got sometimes 40fps at 4090 xDD

[topaz token]

💀

[plain lantern]

😦

what the f*ck is going on

[tawny elk]

Path tracing

[pearl matrix]

no dlss

even a 4090 needs dlss for path-tracing

[topaz token]

that’s actually crazy

[ember cobalt]

[jade briar]

huh

[surreal ruin]

If you're asking if it runs on consoles, no

[versed tusk]

No i mean its work on pc Simulator ps2 or only version pc I tried to find version pc 🥲

[surreal ruin]

Are you asking if remix works on emulators?

[versed tusk]

Yes”

Because I can’t find version pc.

[surreal ruin]

Ah, no, remix does not currently function on emulators. CXBX is the only emulator that has had any vague success and there's currently very little hope for others working any time soon

[surreal ruin]

Time to scout your local retro stores!

[versed tusk]

Does not have digital copy?

[surreal ruin]

No

The game was never sold digitally I'm afraid

[versed tusk]

DM bro

[surreal ruin]

Please don't DM me

I can't help you get a copy of the game

[versed tusk]

Noo I just want ask you question

[surreal ruin]

If there'a anything you need to ask, you can ask in here, there's no need to speak to me privately 😛

[humble niche]

If local stores aren't available or turn up nothing you can also hunt down a used copy of the game online.

[trim basin]

how can i fix this lighting problem?

[cloud crypt]

rtx remix is not compatible with other mods!

[fading condor]

Yes, this may be a stupid question, but I really want to ask it. Why did they make it so that PTX Remix cannot be launched with its own mods?

[pearl matrix]

It can

Huh?

Im using new rims and spoilers mods

[fading condor]

yes, but this is just a replacement of the geometry of the model. I have my own modpack with 127 added cars and other things. i am talking about exactly these things

[pearl matrix]

You gonna have to capture the scene and make those new cars and other things compatible yourself

Aka learn how to use rtx remix toolkit

The devs already did that for vanilla cars so modded cars look weird cause they havent been edited

[trim basin]

i only find this type of nfsu2 😦

[tepid wigeon]

you can see my dm? pls

[velvet rivet]

the runtime captures assets and generates hashes for everything so that they can all be replaced consistently, and as such the game and assets within it must be the same for this system to work

that is not to say mods won't work at all, in a vanilla Remix instance you can add gameplay changing mods, and you can of course start a Remix project specifically for a mod pack or full game edit

[marble creek]

Because rtx remix works on the following principle - generated hashes for assets, according to the rules described in the file mod.usda make changes to the assets - replacing geometry, adding pbr textures and light sources, after making all the necessary replacements, the scene is sent to render. Mods that replace in-game cars and other assets have other hashes, which are not described in mod.usda in any way and, accordingly, are processed in accordance with the default settings, which, of course, exist solely for something to work somehow.

Described rather inaccurately and simplistically, so Mark don't hit me please

[cloud crypt]

It describes it quite well for people who don't fully understand the technology.
So everything is good

[fading condor]

Yeah, now I understand its principle, thanks for the explanation

[fair crystal]

Great explanation

[trim basin]

hi guys, have anyway to get more perfomance on rtx 3050 ?

where do you see the ignore textures in the development options @desert ridge

[desert ridge]

Sorry, could you please clarify what you mean by "see the ignore textures"? I have already posted a video demonstrating how to ignore the texture.

[old condor]

i am very slow smh.. i saw the video i am so sorry @desert ridge lolol

[desert ridge]

Alright, I will add a prominent text to inform people that there is a video demo guide available.

[cloud crypt]

Well

No

[rocky comet]

DOES IT WORK ON AMD?

[jade briar]

It will work on ray tracing capable amd gpus

[rocky comet]

Is there a tutorial to follow here?
I went to do it and it was bad lol

[rocky comet]

It looks like I'm running at 2 fps lol

[jade briar]

Yep

That's amd for you

[rocky comet]

Even if you use a 7900xtx will you have a bad result?

[jade briar]

About 20-30 fps

[rocky comet]

damn

[topaz token]

did you turn on DLSS?

[ember cobalt]

they only have TAAU

[ember cobalt]

supposedly latest drivers improved RT performance

[topaz token]

i don’t like TAA 💀

[rocky comet]

It was just an idea to use TAA in the game and then RSR (fps via driver) so you could use it in the game.
Will there be support for fsr3?

[ember cobalt]

only if the community adds it. FSR 3 doesn't support Vulkan right now, so it's not compatible

we're waiting for them to release the Vulkan version

[rocky comet]

What is the most updated version of the mod?
Do you have the link here?

[ember cobalt]

look at pins

[rocky comet]

fsr3 would help the game cool for those who have performance problems like the rtx 20 line compared to rtx40

[jade briar]

Dlss, brother

[balmy chasm]

Sooo, here's the progress with light replacement so far...

I know you can't really tell, but this plan is a failure. Not just because I spent 4 months remaking just a set for 5 cars, but because most of them can not be imported correctly. Main reason - 'lights replacement' mesh intersects with 'car' mesh, effectively cutting off parts of 'light' one. I'll sure post a little video with all of the details about it, but in general - lights can't be replaced without ability to replace car meshes(and now we can't do anything about it). I mean, 90% of front lights can be replaced actually, but they do look fine in base game after all... And only around 10% of rear lights are replaceable now due to car mesh intersections 🥲

Hope you guys like it. Just another contribution to not working part of the mod 😵‍💫

[dusty grove]

It's pretty much gran turismo level of quality. Sad that's won't make way into the game 😔

[balmy chasm]

I mean, it will be in the mod. I'll make sure to add it to github. But it is no way fully working as of now

[jade briar]

This is beautiful regardless of the bugs

Great work

[hexed seal]

what’s the explanation for the car mesh hash thing? mods just replace geometry why would this affect rtx remix

[jade briar]

Every 3d model has a unique geometry hash. Remix looks for the hashes and sees if there's a replacement asset for that hash. Adding mods will not only break models, but also textures since car mods will have their own unique textures. This goes for any other mod like different road textures.

[hexed seal]

so the hash is not related in any way to the internal geometry names, like, I remember making cars For nfsmw and the model names where like KIT00_BODY_LOD0 or something similar. If we replace geometry but keep the names (which is a must anyway) the game will break?

maybe I don’t understand how this thing works lol

[fair prawn]

hi is there a windowed mode for underground 2

with that rtx mod

I found

nevermind

[quasi flicker]

how to activate car reflection

????

[quasi flicker]

sorry where can I check this

[velvet rivet]

The pin button... 📌

[jade briar]

No, the hash is not related to the geo names. It's generated on the fly

[soft marsh]

Dudes! just found out that this setting - rtx.vertexColorStrength = 1 - preserves the original light colors, like for neon, shop signs and race icons!

[edgy sluice]

for some reason I was able to use this mod just fine, but now the game instantly crashes to desktop after loading it.
If I remove the d3d9.dll/dinput8.dll files from the folder the game starts (tho obviously without widescreenfix and no rtx remix)

Is this a possibly known thing that has a certain fix?

[jade briar]

Yes. It's turned off intentionally

[jade briar]

Try renaming d3d9.dll to d3d9.asi

[edgy sluice]

thanks I will try 🙂

[edgy sluice]

sadly no. It shows the loading image of Rachel and in the top left it says the Alt-X message for RTX-Remix but it instantly closes shortly after :/

[jade briar]

Strange

[wild radish]

What's the reason for that if you don't mind explaining?

[jade briar]

You can turn it on and off to see

It effects lighting

Because it was baked in vertex data

In the original

[surreal ruin]

Basically the whole game, including the environment has lighting data baked into it already through its vertex colours right, this means that when we add the new path traced lighting there'll now be two different light set ups fighting one another, a low quality original game one, and the new one

So it's been turned off, we're trying to figure out new ways of making the neon happen though

[wild radish]

Oh yea that's pretty cool, better than it being baked into the textures but I guess we're replacing them anyway so it would've made things a bit easier

[cloud crypt]

well, couldnt we just make a neon_emissive_only.usda ? Like the one with the roughness and just set emissive values instead of emissive materials?

[ember river]

We fixed this issue already in the proper way, disabling vertex color on every texture that doesn't use it. Only, it is not present in the last public release

[teal dust]

Hi, I wanted to know how you installed it on an AMD card

It doesn't open up the game for me

[velvet rivet]

if it's not booting then either your card doesn't support ray tracing or you installed the game or mod incorrectly, RTX Remix itself is platform agnostic it's just the DLSS upscaler that's NVIDIA-exclusive

[trail quail]

u famous burito

[jade briar]

Nothing new here

[fair prawn]

hi the intros are black

I tested everyone resolution but nothing

and the mirror is black in 4:3 tho

[jade briar]

Yes. The intros are black. I have no idea how to fix them

The mirror being black is a limitation of remix

[desert ridge]

This intro?

[jade briar]

wtf

Yes

How?

[desert ridge]

Mark the video "texture"as UI.

That's why i mention (in dev channel), we need speed run the game to mark all video to UI.

[ember cobalt]

a lot of games require that, yeah

[desert ridge]

Uncle Burrito, being a real uncle now, seems to have forgotten some of the things we discussed in the dev channel.🤣

[jade briar]

I mean

We did

But I didn't know if it'd actually work

[timid prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/the-more-you-know-gif-26317296

[fair prawn]

all of the intros are black, try open a new game and go drift or drag first time, these videos are black

[white talon]

from brazil ❤️ u are the best brooooo

[desert ridge]

@jade briar You are becoming quite famous now, and I believe it's time for you to consider hiring some guards. How about hiring us to ensure your protection?😏

[jade briar]

I'll ask jensen to provide security

[desert ridge]

Please ask Jensen to provide funding for our project. If we secure the funding, we won't need to seek new jobs and will have more time to dedicate to the project.

[jade briar]

Mark pls

[teal dust]

My graphics card is an RX 7600 but it won't boot me. I think the game version I'm using doesn't work for me, does anyone know where I can download a version that they are 100% sure will work with the mod installed

[jade briar]

rule 5 #rules

[teal dust]

Sorry

[fair crystal]

I cant tell where you can get it, but this mod is compatible with the 1.2 USA version of the game if I'm not mistaken. If you have an older version (like I had) you will have to update the game. I'm affraid I also cant tell you how to do that either.

[edgy sluice]

is there a reason why all the lights are either off now? 😮 they didn't use to be like this (I added the rough_only.usda file as per instruction, is it that perhaps?)

for comparison, this it how it looked previously

[teal dust]

How did you get the game started? It doesn't open up to me

[cloud crypt]

We will fix that, but for now reflections only work this way

[edgy sluice]

fair enough! Thanks for the response 🙂

[edgy sluice]

idk what did it tbh, yesterday the game didn't open for me but today it does xD

[dusty grove]

That's weird. Mine looks fine. Maybe you did installation of rough_only.usda wrong way?
Look here again maybe tou did something differently: #1103377328530276403 message

[edgy sluice]

I just placed it in this folder and then added the line to the mod_old.usda

and then changed the roughness and metallic values as described

is there something else I should do?

like for me it looks like no lights work at all

it's just dark

[teal dust]

xd

[desert ridge]

The "rough_only.usda" file doesn't alter the color and lighting of the scene. Its purpose is to modify the roughness values of the objects in the scene. If you're experiencing issues, it's possible that something might have gone wrong in the process.

[desert ridge]

Have you encountered the same issue with the "rough_only.usda" file?

[cloud crypt]

Well no, but some others

[desert ridge]

Here's a sneak peek of the car paint editions I've been working on for the upcoming release.

Actually, I created this for close-up shots because it won't be very clearly visible in motion. The denoiser tends to wash out many texture details.

[edgy sluice]

i see, that makes sense (I dabble in game dev myself, don't know much about RTX remix but your explanation is logical). Is there anything you can think of outside of that that could cause the lights to be turnt off in most of the world then? If not I might just remove RTX remix and install it again

[pearl matrix]

Did you install UI hd rework pack LOL

it broke the map for me too

[desert ridge]

Perhaps you disable this one since we are attaching lights to the mesh.

[desert ridge]

No, I didn't use any HD mod. I'm not sure why the map has become square in the 0.3 version.

[edgy sluice]

I'll check, I haven't changed anything in that menu but could be that it's disabled

[desert ridge]

Have you installed any other mods? Please note that Remix may not work properly with mods that can alter the meshhash.

[edgy sluice]

no other mods

clean install of the game

i had it working without the reflections but once I saw the reflections were now possible I wanted to try it. Then at first (yesterday) I was unable to start the game at all (would just crash to desktop instantly)
Then today I tried it just to see and it did start but the lighting is just way different than what it was

it misses that "reddish" glow

most of the map is completely unlit 😅

idk, maybe I need to completely reinstall the game?

[tawny elk]

Did you set your in game settings to high?

[edgy sluice]

hmm lemme check, I didn't change anything but maybe they reverted or something

[edgy sluice]

absolute madlad, that was it ^^ somehow the settings were all set to minimum

wide peepo happy

[cloud crypt]

Well, there is a way to preserve at least a few details while moving.

[wooden wren]

Havent checked for long time is there any update regarding this mod ?

[velvet rivet]

there'll be much more detail preservation when ray reconstruction goes public (seriously why isn't it)

[jade kayak]

I've started playing more regularly and noticed the game hangs about 80% of the time when I look back and about 60% of the time when I reset the car. Why could that happen? I'm playing in ultra perf dlss on 2080 Ti, and the performance is pretty stable overall

Hangs as in stuck at the current frame and you can only close the game

[balmy chasm]

Probably hardware issue. You should test if this happens without Remix

[fair crystal]

Nah, i have that same issue on a 2060. Screen hangs and goes dark for a second when I look back and then i can see things loading, thought it was "normal" cuz I was instantly looking at a direction the pc hadnt calculated RT yet.

[balmy chasm]

You say you got same 20 card series with 14Gbps VRAM chips?

[fair crystal]

Pardon, forgot a "but" there.
I meant I have the same issue BUT on a 2060

[jade briar]

Me when I don't read the install instructions

[jade briar]

It's a remix issue

Looks like the whole scene reloads when you change cameras

[cloud crypt]

I dont have this issue...

[cloud crypt]

You can change the denoiser. That make it a bit better

[bright hedge]

so UG2 really is just a combination of LA and LV

[edgy sluice]

lol I had set them correctly tho 😛 they just must've reset after I removed and readded rtx-remix/widescreen fix or smth, idk
shared a before picture if you remember that showed the lighting as it should be ^^;
but is fixed now

[glass flame]

Hello, does anyone have a link to download the game?

[tawny elk]

Read the rules again

[distant patio]

thanks

[crystal cave]

Excuse my ignorance, but how can I download the remix? not the game. I'm not familiar with discord

[cloud crypt]

[rare compass]

Hi, anyone could share conf files and required dependencies for car body reflection and subtle lightning because my config is not working well and idk how to adjust it correctly.
Currently I've NFS UG2 RTX remix v0.3 with rtx-remix 0.4.0 release and "rough_only" usda file texture fix.

This is how my current config is looking like
https://youtu.be/yjxxnrMYldI

and this is how orginal version with rtx-remix mod v0.3 was looking like
https://youtu.be/ovAG6Zj__2g

[desert ridge]

This one should work.

[rare compass]

that was quick one, thix I'll check it, give me a sec 😄

[rare compass]

Thanks, currently it's looks much better. There are still missing or disappearing lightning but it's nice 🙂
https://youtu.be/IiCQNaK6Xqc

[wild mango]

For some reason when turning on dlss and setting to quality the game is super blurry, any ideas why? I've got a 1440p monitor and when dlss is set to quality it's still so blurry

I guess there's no way to use framegen is there?

[jade briar]

It shouldn't be so blurry

Also you can enable frame gen if you press alt+x

[wild mango]

Yeah I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, all the vids online on YT it looks amazing

[jade briar]

Yt compression might be hiding some crunchiness

[wild mango]

Tried adjusting in game resolution but still the same

[jade briar]

But I don't think it looks bad on dlss quality. I also use it on a 1440p monitor

[wild mango]

Yeah I must have something set wrong, I'll share my settings here

[rare compass]

maybe try to disable motion blur

[desert ridge]

#1103377328530276403 message

[desert ridge]

It seems like it shouldn't appear so dark.

[rare compass]

I just make sure if my settings are same as for mod description
https://www.moddb.com/mods/need-for-speed-underground-2-remix/downloads/underground-2-remix-03

and I saw that only taxi cab have some high beam headlights pop-up at near miss, all other cars do not have any high beam lights 😄

[jade briar]

We can't ship these mods without a proper licence, or explicit permission of the creators.

[velvet rivet]

Lunic is open to having their assets used and they're in the Core-X server so you can easily ask (I know this cuz apfel wanted the graphics in TUFU until they randomly changed their mind)

[jade briar]

The detailed map, hud, and unlimited seem to be the most useful.

[velvet rivet]

also Unlimiter is something that should be bundled with any full game edit anyway

that's a very open asset

[jade briar]

Which mod is lunix's?

Nlgxzef?

[velvet rivet]

the HUD

[velvet rivet]

:3

[jade briar]

Alright good

I'll see how easy it is to install

Because making the installation process as easy as possible is a big requirement

[velvet rivet]

if you've used hypercooled before you know how easy it is

[jade briar]

I haven't

[velvet rivet]

at least I'm pretty sure the HD HUD is a hypercooled package

[jade briar]

[velvet rivet]

basically any modern mod is packaged for hypercooled to automagically install

[surreal ruin]

We can't really rely on any external installers etc

[jade briar]

Yeah

[surreal ruin]

The more stuff the end user has to do the worse it is for us

[jade briar]

That's what I was thinking

[surreal ruin]

People are already struggling as is

[velvet rivet]

once it's installed you can just distribute the modified files to overwrite/add

[jade briar]

I made the installation process as straight forward as I possibly could, but people are still having problems

Many just don't like to read 10 lines of text

[velvet rivet]

because Remix isn't even finished so it seems to have inconsistencies

I've noticed some people simply installing the game and having random differences

[jade briar]

Yeah I noticed that too. For some people, it just doesn't work at all

And I haven't seen a single fix that works for everyone

Every time there's a random issue

[velvet rivet]

that's just a Remix problem not your fault or even a user issue

I haven't even touched the runtime for any game I'm still waiting for it to work with the Ford Racing games cuz they broke it after v0.1

[jade briar]

Yeah

[jade briar]

Just file a GitHub report and hope that it doesn't get lost in the darkest deepest depths of jira

Me personally. Still waiting for Delta force.

[velvet rivet]

I could not imagine touching on GitHub issues for an NVIDIA project

[jade briar]

Filled a report back in the days of 0.1

[surreal ruin]

It's the only way we have of trying to get help

[velvet rivet]

lol

the only way is quite slow

[surreal ruin]

You're not wrong

[jade briar]

It's not actually that bad

[velvet rivet]

stuff like that is just immediate close

[fair crystal]

Can we build our own tho?

[tawny elk]

Lemme know how it goes

[velvet rivet]

should be feasible, the installer would have to verify that there is a working NFSU2 installation in the selected folder (and patch the game if it's not v1.2), then add the basic/necessary scripts like WidescreenFix, use Binary (I thought it was called Hypercooled but that's the map editor sorry) to auto-install any potentially included mods like Unlimiter and the HD UI, and lastly plop in the RTX Remix files

[jade briar]

.

hmm

[surreal ruin]

We wouldn't be able to patch the game, we can't distribute copyrighted materials

[velvet rivet]

womp womp then you should remove all logos from the game since the assets are being replaced

[surreal ruin]

We are replacing billboards etc, yes

[velvet rivet]

Crazy af

[surreal ruin]

But I think we can all agree that shaing a picture of a logo is a VERY different situation from sharing game files unofficially

That would be straight up piracy.

[velvet rivet]

Ah yes copying an official shareware patcher for a 20 year old game that you always had to download even back then is piracy

[tawny elk]

Don’t forget paying like $1,000 for getting the installer signed.

[humble niche]

it sure would be nice to go a single day without having someone rant about copyright law and us not allowing piracy

[ember cobalt]

@jade briar what was the process you ended up using to list your mod on moddb?
