[jade briar]

Pin it

[surreal ruin]

Uncle called Auto a god

[frank sandal]

wait do i move all files

[jade briar]

@deft glen

Mf

[frank sandal]

or not the config one

[jade briar]

Miss input

[surreal ruin]

Every single file in the zip goes into your game directory

[frank sandal]

ok

[jade briar]

Everything except dxvk.conf

Nono

[frank sandal]

is it good if the game isn't original

[jade briar]

Should be

[frank sandal]

not a original copy

[deft glen]

Read the pins or else

- auto, on behalf of all NFSU2 team members

[frank sandal]

ok

cool

[jade briar]

Also

[surreal ruin]

Original copy? Like modded?

[frank sandal]

uhhh

[surreal ruin]

Because modded versions can have all kinds of problems

[deft glen]

Don't break the rule

[frank sandal]

smth like that

[jade briar]

Why tf you asking the instructions are right there

[deft glen]

Rule breaker

Mf

[jade briar]

Kill

[deft glen]

Explode

[frank sandal]

hey i dont have a diskdrive

[deft glen]

You have a special virtual disk drive

[frank sandal]

but i own it on ps2

[deft glen]

That you used legit

[surreal ruin]

sigh every time with this 😭

[frank sandal]

the physical one

[deft glen]

Your PS2 copy is magic and works on PC so you're not doing anything wrong

AGREE OR ELSE

[frank sandal]

exactlyu

[deft glen]

Ok we're good

[jade briar]

[surreal ruin]

New members try not to break the rule, now THAT is a challenge level impossible

[jade briar]

That's assuming they read the rules

[frank sandal]

do i just put the files in the root or is there a folder that i should put them in

[surreal ruin]

True, reading is hard

[jade briar]

Nobody answer

[deft glen]

Does it not say in the instructions? Damn the instructions suck

[frank sandal]

it just says the root directory

so just the main game folder ig

[jade briar]

I swear this man just doesn't like reading, my instructions are perfect

[surreal ruin]

Well then use the root directory

[deft glen]

Oh it does say it in the instructions. Damn these are good instructions

[jade briar]

Thx

[deft glen]

Unironically now that I skimmed it it's very clear

[deft glen]

Root directory = the base folder of whatever software is being referred to

[frank sandal]

should i replace the files inside the root

[jade briar]

I wanna edit the instructions

Guess auto will have to pin again

[jade briar]

[jade briar]

Yes

[frank sandal]

should i

ok

[jade briar]

Prolly the widescreen fix patch

[surreal ruin]

Nah those 4 files are included just to fuck with you

They're japes

[frank sandal]

should i delete the config

[deft glen]

That folder name isn't looking very magic PS2 legit copy

[jade briar]

No

[frank sandal]

or just not have it there

[jade briar]

Keep it

[frank sandal]

inside the root?

[jade briar]

Mf just move everything to the root folder and open the game

[frank sandal]

okok

[deft glen]

Gonna give some advice: if the instructions don't specify, default to doing whatever would make the most sense. They wouldn't give you files not to use them, so you overwrite. If it doesn't say to delete something, don't delete it

[frank sandal]

uh

uh oh

[deft glen]

Wrong game version

[jade briar]

Ah yes

[deft glen]

Bc he's using the magic PS2 release that supports PC

[severe solstice]

delete system 32 first

[frank sandal]

lol

[jade briar]

You need the latest US version of the game

[severe solstice]

[frank sandal]

yup thats next on the checklist

[frank sandal]

idk where to get that

ik you arent gonna tell me

[deft glen]

I will literally bury you in a videogame

[frank sandal]

cause you said earlier

you wouldnt

[jade briar]

From your PS2 disc, of course

[frank sandal]

ah yes

[surreal ruin]

Retro stores

[frank sandal]

of course

[deft glen]

[frank sandal]

[jade briar]

You guys started the joke wtf

[frank sandal]

[jade briar]

Is it one of those days where traggey cries over the rules?

[severe solstice]

[deft glen]

The rules are there for a reason, and I'm already lax as is

[surreal ruin]

Hey I ain't the guy who keeps getting almost banned, shit's there for a reason

[frank sandal]

Your legit paid for copy with a receipt in your email as standard with all purchases from mainstream online PC gaming storefront services

Ok I'm out

Uncle guy just ping and I'll speedrun pinning whatever new thing u got (must be mod related no shitposting)

[jade briar]

Sure

[frank sandal]

as i turns otut it is a legal copy

from ea and i also have a steam copy

and i just gifted my friend one too

[surreal ruin]

Too much yap in here

fr

[vagrant cove]

ive found a bug

if you install the one from the pinned message (the modding website) and then go to update remix the game just turns into a black screen

also the alt + x menu also breaks

you have to spam click something fo rit to actually register

[trail quail]

Now that the main parts are unwrapped we are applying the subdivs and then cleaning it again
It is really smoothing out well

Should hopefully transfer well to rtx. There were some errors but with our skill that is as much as we can clean without messing up the mesh

[trail quail]

And so begins the polygon purge....muahahahaha

....clears throat sorry

[plush wyvern]

bro the website is just confusing

[trail quail]

Edges getting sharper. There are some errors which with the next model we make we will learn from but we want to just wrap this one up. When we do the interior we can put what we learnt into practice. Slowly the extra detail and cleaner lines and shading is showing ok enough. Well as good as our skill allows us

We have to update the UV's as we go along but we are noticing the difference and how all the details not previously seen are now showing making the car more realistic

Esp noticable around the wheel arches even if we say so ourselves

[jade briar]

Remember this?
#1103377328530276403 message

[cloud crypt]

Sry there are no lighting updates currently... I get my Internet connection (fiber) next weak, then i can continue

Cause i am currently in my move 😅

[trail quail]

yay!

Hope it goes well for you

[trail quail]

Hoping we are becoming more worthy with this

We would say it is definitely cleaning up the shading a lot

[jovial ledge]

After downloading RTX Remix with the Downloader i need to put the resources into game folder?

[jovial ledge]

i can't press Alt+X to open RTX Remix menu

[surreal ruin]

That means remix isn't working

[jovial ledge]

I actually followed the instructions

[surreal ruin]

Right but if it isn't opening then it's not working

Do you see pathtracing?

Because I'm guessing no?

[jovial ledge]

What does this mean?

[surreal ruin]

What does the game look like? Do you have the pathtraced lighting?

[jade briar]

Looks like its working

[surreal ruin]

I think it is? Could you take a screenshot of the full game? XD

[jovial ledge]

Sorry for Russian

[surreal ruin]

Yeah no that's working alright

If you're russian I guess your keyboard layout might just be fucking up with the default hotkey

[jovial ledge]

Finally

[frank sandal]

uh i obtained a legal version

its not working

i installed it

[surreal ruin]

Well is the disk in your cd drive?

[frank sandal]

yes

[surreal ruin]

That's a lot of DVD drives O.o

[frank sandal]

idk why its three

supposed to be two

[surreal ruin]

Probably better to ask help from a NFSU2 community on this though

We just do the funny RTX mod

[frank sandal]

ok

[swift oak]

hey, still no AMD support ? ik it says dont ask but ❤️

[surreal ruin]

Not for the toolkit, but for the runtime yes

[swift oak]

I am sorry, dont know the difference

[surreal ruin]

Runtime is what allows you to play the games

Toolkit is what lets you make mods

[jade briar]

Allegedly

[surreal ruin]

So AMD users can play, but not make mods

And when I say play I mean "Play" because performance is pretty shyte

And with pretty shyte I mean usually terrible

[swift oak]

Ye, i launched the game it was terrible... xd Already read that but yea thanks for info, maybe other mods without raytracing look good aswell ? Havent played this game in like 12 years

[surreal ruin]

No clue

[swift oak]

Ah, okay gonna dig up something maybe, thanks ❤️ have a nice day

[surreal ruin]

You too!

[frank sandal]

ok so its working except i cant move and the rez is way off

the size of the tab

[surreal ruin]

You edit the resolution through the widescreen mod

[frank sandal]

so rez is fixed

still cant move tho lol

[surreal ruin]

Stop holding down the clutch

[frank sandal]

uh

im not i dont think

what button is clutch

[surreal ruin]

That was a joke

I have no idea why you're not moving, our mod doesn't change the controls

[frank sandal]

i checked the binds and they are correct

so

idk

ok it works now

Pin this:

If you cant move you need to reset controls

via the setting

[open atlas]

When are we getting the next update video?

[surreal ruin]

[jade briar]

I'd say it's more of a 47

Beautiful

[neat island]

What would be a good poly count for a vehicle?
I've stumbled across this project but I've never used RTX Remix, I will take a deeper look into it tomorrow and try some model swapping :O

[jade briar]

At least 5

There's no real upper lomit

Lomit

Limit

Damnit

[neat island]

Thats a lot to work with! /s

[jade briar]

Nooooooo

Fuck

[neat island]

I wonder how many LOD ranges NSFU2 have

[jade briar]

I think 4

[ember river]

there you go, mate! https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1262949334274674760

[tawny elk]

This one is my fav

[jade briar]

Yo that's great

[trail quail]

Just adding well door handle thing and still fixing shading issues on it
Pro tip turniing on shadows can confuse during low poly modelling. keep it off

[trail quail]

4. Exactly 2 tris

😛

Lol jks. No limit but maybe keep it at <500k?

for performance reasons we dunno we suck

[trail quail]

These aint loading for us atm 😦

crappy internets

oh wait that is the jk 😢

we are stupic

we should have read the gif part

[sharp sinew]

Oh damn that's good, lovely stuff

[trail quail]

Lazy side door handle models. Sorry we kinda suck

Need to fix that hood that shading is terrible

[balmy chasm]

Gold rims 👀

[neat island]

This should get pinned too lmao

[neat island]

That's a lot to work with :O I will see what I can do today, I'm eager to try playing with Remix

But first I need to try this mod out

[trail quail]

Lol and good lights. The rest is eh surely the others could have done way better

Oh well we guess we did ok

Just not up to the level of what you guys did for the rims and lights

They look so good

[balmy chasm]

Huh. Have you really checked on my work?

[balmy chasm]

Also you should expect to have some work over traffic cars or city props mostly. Most of the hero car assets are dynamic and we can't replace them

[trail quail]

Erm we though some of it was yours?

[balmy chasm]

350Z was entirelly Hemry's work. I worked on regular cars(not traffic)

[trail quail]

Oh ok

Well Hemry did a good job with the 350z

[balmy chasm]

Your preview of these lights looks so much better than what Remix can draw 🥲

[trail quail]

Well it is cycles

We have to see what the car the team made looks like in Remix

We don't know how to import it (also this laptop does not have RTX ready card) but all credits go to them for it

[balmy chasm]

Hope you get one RTX-ready 👍

[trail quail]

Our Desktop is

We were modelling a celica but stopped because we dunno if anyone is modelling that

[balmy chasm]

Celica is dynamic almost in all its parts. Body is dynamic for sure

[trail quail]

Would that not mean you would have to model everything from scratch as different pieces?

Then export them with the car toolkit?

[balmy chasm]

Take a looks here. That's a mesh_hash debug view. Anything with consistent color between instances is stable_hash while others are dynamic_hash. You can swap models for Stable only as of now

[balmy chasm]

This one requires testing

[trail quail]

Fair

Lol DUnno what to do with this z atm it is not even ours and it is just sitting in cycles 😂

Feels like stealing

Feels wierd doing renders of it lol

[neat island]

Oh really? Wanted to remake the 240sx so much, it was my favorite car when I was a kid

Can UI be replaced tho?

[balmy chasm]

With external mods as far as I know

[neat island]

[trail quail]

This is just a guess though. We can't test this though as we can't run omniverse or did we make any of the assets

[desert ridge]

Thanks, I only modeled the 350z and GTR headlights/taillights. The rest were made by EAWorld, and he did a great job too.
Unfortunately, even with RR on, Remix didn't render the normal map details very well. We might need a more powerful GPU to get better screenshots in Remix.

[trail quail]

What of this then?

Feels like furniture

Gunna have to give credit for the whole model though

[desert ridge]

You should try to fix those pinching (shading) issues during the modeling process. You don't need to wait until after the modeling is done to fix the shading. It would be more efficient to address the problems while you're still modeling. That way, you'll know what's causing the issues earlier on.

[trail quail]

Shadows are turned on

Stupid shadows are doing it

[desert ridge]

No

[balmy chasm]

We need wireframe

[trail quail]

We cut alot of polygons so it is so low poly at that courner

Actually we kno what happened. We stupidly pulled a few verts there

Still this needs changing this is disgusting

This is not good

This is is a massive topology sin

[desert ridge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Lv5P1T4VI4&ab_channel=Elementza

[trail quail]

We ruined this model

[desert ridge]

It's not about the vertex positions, it's about the topology - how you place the edge loops.

[trail quail]

We know but this section is not going to do it anyfavours

[desert ridge]

https://tenor.com/view/what-huh-wat-wut-gif-16165693567743102551

[trail quail]

Still looks garbage

We are fucking terrible

[trail quail]

Sorry for messing it up

[desert ridge]

Try to avoid having "poles" on curved surfaces as much as you can. On a flat plane, you can do crime ( triangles or n-gons). However, that's still not the best approach for UV mapping when using subD modelling.

[neat island]

What monster of a machine does IGN have to be able to run it at 60fps 4K

[balmy chasm]

#1103377328530276403 message

[neat island]

My 4090 is sweating over here I don't understand

I will need to play a bit more to check that out I guess, rarely go over 50 fps on the default Balanced

Oh and I got a bit excited so I skipped a bunch of tutorials just to swap a mesh (The poles with the velvet rope)
I'm impressed on how smooth the whole process is, I can't wait to mess with it more

[ember cobalt]

full blown path tracing is realllllly hard on the GPU 😦

[neat island]

I didn't saw a path tracing setting, atleast compared to the 0.5.1 rtx runtime that I tried to force in earlier

Nevermind I'm truly stupid

[trail quail]

At this pont we dunno what to do. It is not our model and we dun want to ruin it more. It seems like any style of loop added it wants to fail.

The bottom splitters polys need sliding ignore that

[trail quail]

We might have to try replacing a part using toolkit. If it breaks we will just reinstall. Whether it recognises in in omniverse is another story

[trail quail]

We r gunna make the ambulance and a few traffic cars maybe. Also some props if any avail

[trail quail]

Are there any other lights that can be done if no one is working on em?

[trail quail]

Us going slighttly more agressive and "realistic" with the dragon to add some of our touch in it

Doing the poper overlay now

[trail quail]

but not too far off the original. it should still be recognisable just a bit of creative liberty 😛

[desert ridge]

It's probably better to finish the 350z project first, then move on to working on the other projects. Rather than trying to do a lot of different parts all at the same time, it's best to focus on completing one project before starting something new.

[trail quail]

Eman has the 350 atm

Checking it for errors and unnecessary topo

So while we wait we are working on other stuff

[rare granite]

guys

how do i fix this?

Nvm 🤡

im dumb

[balmy chasm]

Pressing B key 👀

[jade briar]

By driving

[rare granite]

i fixed it thanks anyways

thats was not the car headlight

[trail quail]

Is it ok not to be in the credits? We don't really want recognition

[jade briar]

Sounds like shooting your own foot but okay

[trail quail]

Eh we will take the L

We just will have to be careful not to show this stuff as folio pieces as potential that others might think we stole it we guess.

That's fine tho just seeing the projects thrive is enough for us

We don't really like getting recognition

[jade briar]

Posting portfolio and fearing others might think that the work is stolen is just crazy

Why is that the first thing that comes to your mind

[trail quail]

Because if we were not under credits for a job how can people assume we made it just by taking our word for it? Sorry we are just overreacting

Sorry our brain broke

[jade briar]

Why would people assume that we stole it?

[trail quail]

No that we (us) stole it

like we did not not make it

No you guys

But anyways we want you guys to get the credit for this. That is all we are really not making any sense here

[jade briar]

I'll need some time and help deciphering your speech

Brb

[trail quail]

It is fine we are kinda stupid. A bit of a lost cause

well very stupid

ignore us

you're cool :>

[trail quail]

we don't agree but ok

[valid geyser]

😔

[bright hedge]

i agree

with the purple name

[trail quail]

That we suck?

see at least someone agrees

[jade kayak]

I'm only occasionally checking this thread to see if there are some updates and I think you're underestimating your work because every time I see your progress pics I think it looks incredible and you really shouldn't worry about being included in the credits

[trail quail]

We kinda don't want to tho

We don't really want to be credited

[jade briar]

Sure

[trail quail]

Wait we don't though

[jade briar]

Sure dude

I won't

[trail quail]

Also yes we are 100 percent sure we don't want to be added in the credits

We are just replying to the other person

We will add the team names in the decal though

For the 350z vinyl (just that we won't be adding ours)

We are not exactly a dude also (but we know what you meant)

[jade briar]

👍

[trail quail]

One more thing we also mean we suck as a person (sorry for the spam)

[surreal ruin]

I really don't mean to be that guy, but you seem to be going through a hard time and dealing with some stuff, this might possibly not be the best outlet for such things?

[trail quail]

sorry

We did not mean to spam the server

[surreal ruin]

You should speak to some folks who are near you who can help you out ^^ You seem to need it!

[trail quail]

We have a psychiatrist and psychologist

[surreal ruin]

That's great!

[trail quail]

Also some things we don't want to mention as it is really TW

[bright hedge]

[surreal ruin]

Stop being an ass, thanks

[trail quail]

We don't mind

[surreal ruin]

Yeah well I do

Fuck that kind of behaviour

[bright hedge]

What?

[jade briar]

Idk what you did but if traggey is mad I'm mad

Fuck u

[bright hedge]

xD

[trail quail]

Probably as we accepted that we are allowing them to make fun of us

Which we don't mind

It is what it is

[bright hedge]

🇺 🇨

[trail quail]

Ok laughing at our SH is one thing but what you did there is messed up

[jade briar]

No idea

[desert ridge]

When MadHunter is actually "Mad" !?

[bright hedge]

Its a distraction

[tawny elk]

[trail quail]

We are confused now

Lol

So back on the grind we go (well in the morning)

Get more of that vinyl done

[plain lantern]

got the same at my 4090

[fiery pivot]

Algum Br?

[surreal ruin]

Rule 10 mate

[trail quail]

Any news on the fixes done to the z e-man? If u end up seeing this

We sre desperately wanting to see if this model can get into thr next release

[dusky seal]

Hello
How did you manage to solve the car paint problem.
If it is very complex could you please give me an idea haha

[surreal ruin]

Which one of them?

The reflections or the ability to change colour etc on the car?

[dusky seal]

Colour

[surreal ruin]

We didn't

It's still a problem

[dusky seal]

A

The reflections? xD

[velvet rivet]

your model has been turning out beautifully, saw some older pictures too :)

[trail quail]

Hopefully the fixes can happen to see it ingame eventually

[trail quail]

Looking at the 350z posted in garrys mod makes us feel insignificant tho

😢

[neat island]

Is anyone working on any of the interior garages?

[neat island]

Because since, I've swapped more mesh in this one

[ember river]

Hey there, friend. No, sorry. I've been a bit away from remix lately. I'll be reaching back to you prolly this week

[cloud crypt]

Not currently. We first redo the main lobby, then the other garages

[neat island]

Would my work be useful? Most of the meshes I've swapped are either done by myself or copyright free 3D model on Sketchab, etc (The velvet rope for example)

[balmy chasm]

Yes. Meshes will be usefull for sure. But probably not textures, as we need to optimise the texture use as much as possible

[neat island]

Good to know then!

[dense roost]

Hello there. How can i fix all the lights being white? And How can I activate the Frame Generation? (My setup is a i5-12400f, RTX4070, 32GB RAM DDR4 3200Mts)

[jade briar]

Press alt+x to open the developer menu to enable frame gen

[lusty storm]

@bobbyrasgulla nice username

[dusky osprey]

thanks

[little bramble]

how can i make it look better? any one got some settings for me?

[surreal ruin]

Could you define "Better" ?

What are you looking for

[little bramble]

I want fewer pixels on the streets and more reflections on the car.

[jade briar]

You'll have to wait for the mod to be finished for that

[little bramble]

damn i think... i broke it

[jade briar]

Yep

[dusty grove]

Car reflections: #1103377328530276403 message

[fast bronze]

Is there a way to turn off full blast pathtracing? I’m running a 12600k with a 4070 and struggling to get anywhere close to 60fps.

Also enabling frame gen causes game to stutter.

Thanks

[surreal ruin]

Remix has no non-pt functionality, no

Using ultra performance dlss is typically the best way to increase performance

[trail quail]

Yeah you kinda just have to use PT

[tight vault]

I mean Remix pathtracing is pretty efficient from what I've seen

Compared to other examples

[ancient drum]

[fluid jungle]

if you having issue with fullscreen mod after installing the rtx mod simply just go to options in the game main menu then go to video sittings and then just change the world level detail.... and that should fix it

"we're working on trash"

[trail quail]

Hello team. Is there anyway I can help out? I'm capable of exporting PBR textures and creating them

If you have guidelines of DDS formats and needed textures please let me know. I run an AMD gpu currently. But I can still create stuff. My work has been valuable to the Skyrim community.

If this becomes relevant in 3 months time or something let me via DM.

[jade briar]

Post your portfolio or something

[trail quail]

best ive got for show atm. Edit to fix link: https://next.nexusmods.com/profile/Tomatokillz/about-me

[jade briar]

That link doesn't work

It shows the user's nexus mods page

for skse

[deft glen]

But in this shot you can see his nexus name so you can look it up

[jade briar]

Yeah I got it

[balmy chasm]

Woah, you've been here over a year ago and now you returned? You're saying you're available for the next 3 months or just to inform you in this period?

[ember river]

Oh, Hi there. Welcome!
Remix has 3 main asset types to work with: 3D Models, Materials and Lighting.
Are you a texture artist only, can you do 3d modelling as well? Its no biggie, just so we know what kind of tasks you could help with.

Here is our tasks board. Currently we're working on a Main Menu Garage milestone. Take a look and see what you feel comfortable helping with
https://github.com/users/Ekozmaster/projects/1

[trail quail]

Hey guys, I was a little tipsy yesterday when I sent my msg. I should have made a better post. Sorry! Im only good at PBR texturing as of now. Keen to learn more though for sure. Ill check out that link 🙏

[trail quail]

I just assumed the channel dies time to time due to people having RL obligations. The 3 months thing was me expecting no response for some time if anything (i was very wrong!) and yes ive been here a few times, mostly just as a user 🙂

[balmy chasm]

You guess what is getting replaced
(yes... TV is bigger as due to the IRL reference used in game)

[jade briar]

Just scale it down

[dark sail]

I have a nice rtx.conf and reshade preset if anyone's interested in trying them, it'd also be cool if you were able to tweak it to make it even better

[exotic bluff]

curious as to what settings you guys use for best trade-off between looks and performance

[dark sail]

With remix by default there were some tunnels I couldn't see anything but by tons of experimenting with the eyadaptation and adaptive tonemapping in both remix and reshade I was able to get visibility without making everything else way too bright. It would be cool though if someone knows how to make the headlights (player only) brighter and farther reaching for stuff like that

[pallid river]

You gotta adjust them in remix unless you are talking like toggling high beams

Not all of the map has lights atm

[lusty storm]

https://youtu.be/maZUYwc_HxE?si=TnwylNWouI4qR8wZ

[bright hedge]

Yeah

[full talon]

@jade briar Mark pointed me at the issues that you've been encountering since the "CPU Perf: Implement shadow state elimination on D3D9 client for some common functions" commit.

I made some changes to the optimization that commit added. Can you try this build and see if anything improves? https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/bridge-remix/actions/runs/10951802628

[jade briar]

Seems to be working just fine now. Thank you

[quick agate]

Where can I find the latest mod version?

[lusty storm]

Checked moddb and the last update was 10 months ago, this is being updated somewhere else (git or something?) I couldn't find anything

[jade briar]

There is no update

[balmy chasm]

you can technically follow most recent changes on github, but you'd need to make a modder's setup then

[marsh garden]

guys where can i find file of game nfsu2

without mod

only game

[ember cobalt]

ebay

[marsh garden]

but can you name web...

ebay isn't support in my country

[ember cobalt]

that'd be piracy, and it's against the server rules. sorry

[marsh garden]

if you know can write me in privacy message

[slender arch]

you know you can use your brain bit more

[jade briar]

But that requires effort

[marsh garden]

bro im not the English language user

if your presenting to this im sorry

so i just ask

[wintry fable]

how's abandonware piracy?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abandonware

[jade briar]

Because kim said so

https://tenor.com/view/shhh-shush-quiet-gif-8316632

[dusty grove]

Update when guys? (I know it will be when it's ready - I'm asking if it will be before half life 3 or after)

[ember river]

If you get in trouble or the company shutdown your mod, casting the "abandonware" spell won't save ur a**, as it is not a legal term, specially in every country, and besides that for many of us here game dev is a profession. Just do what you do in your private

[slender arch]

the reason why abandonware is illegal even devs wouldnt care is that its illegal in usa

[ember cobalt]

it's not accounted for in US law at all. it's illegal in the US. and this server follows US law

[hexed seal]

then why don’t “change” the server “location” to Pakistan or something and be done with it lol

[ember cobalt]

i'm extremely tired of arguing about this

follow the rules please

[jade briar]

Make me mod. Shoot on sight

[open atlas]

I miss when this mod felt like a community project and not just waiting for news to release like I’m on r/gta6 seeing the 50th dumb trailer 2 wen post

[slender arch]

so maybe tell discord about this instead of this server

but they wont most likely care

[wintry fable]

Just checked this out. Didn't know about it. sorry

[balmy chasm]

Nothing you can do about that, sadly. Devs need some breathing room for communication between each other and doing that in single channel was a nightmare or some sort. Just to remind you, those days 90% of messages where sent by devs

[open atlas]

Saying that ignores the fact they’ve been silent on it now for months

[jade briar]

I wonder why

[balmy chasm]

Well, we're short on active 3D modelling members. And the following progression requires a ton of model replacements

[junior bough]

Do you replace models in game files or they are remix asset replacements? I thought you can't do much in the older nfs games because of memory limits and such

[balmy chasm]

Remix replacements

[junior bough]

So it's true that there are basically no limits as to the amount of polygons a model can have and for texture size and resolution?

[balmy chasm]

Your VRAM is the limit

[junior bough]

So this works for everything, vegetation, buildings, car models, tuning parts, right? Where can i find tutorials for making remix asset replacements?

[balmy chasm]

There are limits to items you can replace, because of how remix does its work building scene - they're Dynamic Hash objects. They refresh the linked replacement every now and then. For our project, dynamic hash objects appeared to be most of the car parts, except wheels, headlights/rearlights and emblems. But the majority of environment objects are not dynamic. Though you have to keep in mind that some assets are reused across the game world, and when you replace one things which got instances in other places, they get replaced as well

[balmy chasm]

Tutorials and stuff is here on the server, I just lost where people share this stuff. May be @ember cobalt can pinpoint where to look. You can also check our project here: https://github.com/Ekozmaster/NFSU2-RTX-Remix

[junior bough]

Yeah, i'm definitely interested now

[ember river]

Start with #remix-beginners-guide
Watch the nvidia tutorials.
If you just want to contribute without having to worry about remix setup and stuff, we do accept ppl doing just 3D models and texturing in the team and we deal with getting them in the game

[ember river]

Sadly the project has come to a halt, regardless. No one is actively working on it anymore besides EAWorld. Jobs, family, life and all the "adulting" stuff has come in the way

[junior bough]

Thanks

[jade briar]

I'm going to art school these days so I have very little time to work on stuff

[bright hedge]

Nice, see if you get accepted =))

[jade briar]

I did

By going, I mean going for classes

Busy

[bright hedge]

do they accept your art

[jade briar]

no they keep pointing out mistakes

[bright hedge]

by seeing whats in the west with art, you could probably get away with painting shit and having it declared as masterpiece cuz they dont understand it xD

[balmy chasm]

just after the point when they notice no stupid mistakes or understand that all the mistakes are intentional

[balmy chasm]

We're done with trash I suppose 👍

[jade briar]

Yep

Looks like trash to me

[ember river]

Superb work, mate!

Loved all the scattering of trash, cardboard sheets, newspapers, etc.

[balmy chasm]

It was my first ever work published for this project

[ember river]

like if i pressed enter in start menu it just crash for me and
yes, im using fresh installed nfsu2 and followed this tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm7xBR_eyco&t=12s

here my log anw

[jade briar]

Try disabling frame gen if you're using that

[desert hawk]

uhm im new into this so... in where that setting? 😔

wait i think im stupid
frame gen its dlss right?
alr disable that before and still not working

[jade briar]

lemme check the logs again

[jade briar]

Drivers up to date?

[desert hawk]

nope

[jade briar]

Well, that would be a good place to start

I don't see any errors in the log

Game crash?

Or maybe bridge crash

[desert hawk]

just installed the latest driver
still didnt work doe :((

[desert hawk]

what different with game crash doe

[jade briar]

remix itself doesnt seem to be crashing

It could be either the remix bridge or the game itself

there should be a bridge.log in the trex folder

[desert hawk]

this one?

[jade briar]

ye

weird

[desert hawk]

😭

[jade briar]

do you have the us or eu version of the game

[desert hawk]

us

[desert hawk]

nvm just forgot to change display setting first 😭

thanks uncleburrito anw ❤️

[jade briar]

[trail quail]

I am getting to more soon, it is just that this is not the only mod I work with

I know that was a reply to an old post

Also moved to the desktop and am also tranferring data across for a lot of things rn

I did not cloud save then unfortunately as I am stoopid

And it did not cross my mind lol

[balmy chasm]

Wait, do you mean you have lost all the work on 350Z?

[trail quail]

No it is jsut on another PC

I have not gotten to transferring it over

Yeah she is safe don't worry

[balmy chasm]

I hope you get it finished once and for all if you're going back to U2 😅
What plans for this time?

[trail quail]

Uhm I dunno what you guys have for us in terms of asset work?

Are the over car models or parts still problematic?

Or has there been a work around to updating them with high quality meshes

[balmy chasm]

Yeah, this aspect didn't change. You have limited parts of hero cars available for replacement, like car lights, emblems, wheels and rims. But apart from that, you have almost all the surrounding game world available to work on

[trail quail]

Traffic seems like a good one

[lusty storm]

I literally got married and there's still no updates in this mod, I hope my grandson got pleased with it in the future 🙏🤧

[fresh ginkgo]

Start working on it and it will come out faster

[drowsy birch]

isnt that from heat/unbound?

[cloud crypt]

Yes, its a pic from Unbound

[sage wraith]

I'm curious to see which will deliver well-playable results first: RTX Remix or the UE5 project. 😄

[jade briar]

Different projects. Different goals. This project isn't really comparable to tufu

[sage wraith]

Is not the Main Goal to make ug2 playable on a higher visual Standart?

[jade briar]

Their goal is to remake the game from scratch

[sage wraith]

Yes thats true. But with the Goal to make a nicer looking ug2. Your right technical its completly Different projects and both has pro and contra, but at the end the Main goal is the same in my opinion. Thats what i mean

[jade briar]

I wonder if I'll get the YandereDev treatment

Nah

Nevermind

I'm not getting any money for it

[cloud crypt]

Huh, but thats what yandereDev treatmeant about

We are disposable XD

[cobalt gull]

Hello! I am running NFSU2 with the latest RTX Remix files but I barely get 10-20 fps on RTX 3060

Is there something im doing wrong?

[jade briar]

Try enabling dlss

[prime rose]

The UE5 one is a legal minefield. If they want to keep the same feel of the game - they have to use copyrighted assets (music, car brands, etc) and risk getting taken down.
Remix is a safer bet, because it's essentially just a mod that runs on top of the original game, keeping the original intact and just adding updated models/textures/lighting.
In my humble onion - the remix version is the one to look forward to and is much safer in terms of legality.

[ember river]

IIRC, if you use quixel/fab assets under indie license and your game ends up reaching 100,000 (I think) revenue, the landmine explodes and you need to upgrade each asset to the pro/plus/more/epic/whatever license

[prime rose]

Yeah, but thats irrelevant, no? Unless the UE4/5 guys want to sell it.

[ember river]

This could be a problem if you reach 100k with tight finances

[ember river]

I mean, for studios releasing a game, not remix projects

[prime rose]

Erm, so I'm confused what the reply was about then...?
I'm talking strictly NFSU2 projects here, so this Remix vs the UE4/5 fan remakes.

[ember river]

Nvm, I focused too much on the legal side of using epic assets and that 100k issue came to mind. Just a comment

Another issue is transparency.
Many assets from stores like these come with transparent textures because they're meant for raster pipelines, so it is not a plug n play all the time

[timid prairie]

I don't remember EA taking down fan free projects even of such calibur, Star Wars projects doesn't count because Disney

So chances are UE5 Port/Remake will be alright and won't be taken down, as long as its free

[lone dragon]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-me-your-meme-gif-21371982

[solemn salmon]

Well, as far as i know about "2Unreal5Undergroud" Project [aka. "TUFU"] which is on UE5 [and already has a Freeroam Demo available] - It will be available for free for everyone, and the Creator doesn't want to Release any Builds of it [including Prerelease, Beta Testing, etc.] behind any Paywall, He only accepts Donations [aka. You can buy him a coffee, but you can't pay him for this project in any way].
And Yes, it Already uses Assets and Music Straight up ripped from the Original because "It's too much work to rework them for a Small Team, some will get redone but not all of them".

[cloud crypt]

Uhm, were redoing assets as a small team, and yes, it takes forever...

[solemn salmon]

This mod works fine on a RTX3050 [4GB VRAM] with Ryzen 5 5600, But only with DLSS set on Ultra Performance [Stable 60fps], or Performance [around 30fps, still playable]. I could send you a video where you can see this in action, if you want.

Hey everyone, how is scene capture being done in NFSU2, i'm getting reverted gismos using z-up and left-hand

[ember river]

are you using the project's rtx.conf/dxvk.conf?
https://github.com/Ekozmaster/NFSU2-RTX-Remix/tree/main/rtx-remix-defaults

[stuck badge]

Yes! no change.

ta foda

copied the whole github repo to my game folder, same result, this seems like a toolkit issue

[ember river]

weird. I have scene Z-up enabled

[stuck badge]

On or off, same thing

[balmy chasm]

I have this thing all the time when editing in Composer. Though I don't remember Remix to be the same. You should try different import methods I assume. And if none works... Deal with it

[stuck badge]

I could try import the assets instead of the scene

But you just can't "deal" with the problem

What a weird community

Problem is clearly on the toolkit

Id rework on the models, but I just give up

[balmy chasm]

I mean, there is no issue to move it in Object Properties, not with gizmo

[stuck badge]

Did you see the video? You see how when I move the camera the gizmo goes all over the place reverted?

I need to see the scene inside rtx remix, without these bugs, otherwise I can't rework the whole scene.

[stuck badge]

Properties are reversed too, changes depending if local or world orientation

[balmy chasm]

I'd highly recommend moving straight into DCC of your choice. You can easily import .usd model, apply transforms etc and adjust your models to the scale and stuff

[stuck badge]

Sure, but then how would I add that back into the game (model/instance replacement)

[balmy chasm]

As easy as selecting the object you want to replace and adding an XForm to it

[stuck badge]

No idea how to do that, any docs or tutorial on how?

All I find is the Nvidia tutorials using rtx remix

[balmy chasm]

Oooooh. I don't follow the community guides here, but there are a lot user-made things here to get you going. I may be sooo off by recommending to read through https://discord.com/channels/1028444667789967381/1095534398134300682. May be guys can recommend you something more specific, but you will need to wait for them to come

[stuck badge]

Alright, if I can edit stuff without remix that sounds more doable, thanks, sorry for going off the handle before, but I've been redirected here, even do this is not a game related issue, I think atleast

are you sure I can do the whole workflow ( export, edit, add models, add pbr material) without remix? bcs i'm seeing the very opposite everywhere.

[balmy chasm]

I assume it will be easier to describe the process on the direct example. Can you tell what is your work about? I'll try to guide through steps

[stuck badge]

I'm looking into reworking the map static assets, props, buildings

that requires me to export, import into blender (mostly for reference) remodel and texture then get it back into the game

[balmy chasm]

Are you planning to work on NFS U2 game, right? Which tools have you got for modelling/texturing?

[stuck badge]

Blender

photoshop for textures when needed

just the camera comes reversed on blender

[jade briar]

Z up

[stuck badge]

Then it points to the right direction but the camera gets inverted

Trust me I tried all combinations when capturing

[jade briar]

Try z up and left handed

Ah

Strange

[stuck badge]

Not a problem if the models are good and I can work on them

[balmy chasm]

Let's imagine you want to replace a staircase next to trash pile there.

1. Model/import from anywhere your fresh and new staircase exactly in the place where it is in this imported Captured Scene. This way you will keep the position offset and scale the same as in the capture.
2. Do all your texturing following basic PBR setup. Thankfully as texture editing was available from the start of project, we had time to compose a little guide on how you manage them here. All the texture parameters are listed in the guide as well. Though keep in mind that you don't need to setup shader inside Blender. Remix has its own shader and you will use it to plug your textures in.
3. Export your model and textures in .obj/.fbx and .png/.dds format. You have a conversion tool built-in into Remix app. I usually use it for model converting. But as for textures, I use Photoshop or chaiNNer(for batch export).
4. Now all which is left is to import your models. You have 3 main options basically - with Remix App, USD Composer or with text-editing the .usda. And this step seriously varies depending on which way you take. What you have showed with a cube demo, is a Remix way. With all the scaling and position already handled in your Export phase, all you will need to change is simply orientation. Or XForm Rotation param. After that you just select that mesh inside imported XForm and add a new material to it, where you can plug all your textures in. But for new user it won't be smooth as I described, so don't expect it to behave

[stuck badge]

Ok, I'll try to do a simple model replacement with the USD composer, see if it works

[stuck badge]

Oh no, its happening inside USD composer too

[balmy chasm]

At least inside Composer you can reset the pivot point and bake it

[desert ridge]

Open your project file (like NFSU2.usda), mod.usda or active modding layer (like meshreplacement.usda) with text editor, look for the upAxis setting, make sure it's set to: upAxis = "Z"

[stuck badge]

up axis already set to upAxis = "Z"

even with those settings z is not up

both in remix and composer

[desert ridge]

Make sure you set Z-up in rtx.conf as well, rtx.zUp = True, and you need to make a new scene capture after changing these settings. Old captures won't work right.

[lusty storm]

Anyone tried the new DLSS with this game? Looking superb

[south crater]

dlss 4 is out? thought that was until tomororw?

[trail quail]

Attempting the ambulance

I dunno if it will work out

By the looks of it, it seems based on an f350 type one from 1994

roughly

[jade briar]

[balmy chasm]

I suggest you to take another approach and use IRL photos/etc to model it. Following the low-poly reference of in-game model can hurt your experience and the end-result

[trail quail]

I have photo refs

I also just want it to be rougly conforming to the original size of the NFS model. After I get basic shape I might see if I can find some blueprints

It is a fairly boxy ambulance so it won't have to be manipulated much

We will see how we go

ON my other monitor there are a tonne of photos I got of a f350

[ember river]

Looking forward to it.
Just keep in mind that the idea is to remaster the assets with high quality details for modern graphics. Remodelling them 1:1 to the game is just one part of the work

[trail quail]

I know we are modelling this in an unconventional way but things will be edited slowly ignore the weird gaps and cuts

[cloud crypt]

Pls keep in mind to keep it low-poly

[trail quail]

of course as there will be many of them

And it is just random traffic

I still want to get some detail on there. I will use normal maps for minor asses like this but will try to limit them for major assets as to not make the memory footprint get too high for the project

Yeah the only current model that is really High poly is Rachel's ride I believe atm

Have not had much time to continue the work on that

[soft zinc]

Hey, coming back to this serv after a few months. How do I go above 'updating' my current installation of UG2 Remix? The github repository and hyperlinks within has broken links. And is there any list of changelogs out there? Curious to see if DLSSs' transformer implementation has been brought in

[ember river]

Welcome back.
Prolly nothing changed since development of u2rtx stopped a while ago.
The github links are all working, though you shouldn't need it. We have 0.3.0-alpha still on moddb: https://www.moddb.com/mods/need-for-speed-underground-2-remix
Changelogs: https://github.com/Ekozmaster/NFSU2-RTX-Remix/releases
DLSS 4 isn't integrated in remix yet, though some ppl have been experimenting with copying other game files and enabling manually, though I'm not the one to help with that.

[ember cobalt]

pinned in #offtopic-game-discussion 🙂

[soft zinc]

It stopped as in permanently stopped? What happened?

[balmy chasm]

Not permanently. Just in a passive pace

finally, took them too long...
now we can, "hopefully", come back to this project...

[true goblet]

What was added? I haven't checked this for some time 😓

[jade briar]

[jade briar]

Car game

[balmy chasm]

Welcome back!

[jade briar]

Ello

[timid prairie]

it really seems that project died

[jade briar]

That's what the haters say

[cloud crypt]

Well, i wouldnt say its dead. But its layed on ice for shure. Enough of us just dont have the time. For me its work consuming all of me...

i wish i had time for it, but well

[past hinge]

which version does it work with?

[jade briar]

Latest US

[past hinge]

is there any installation tutorial? lol

[twin sandal]

hello

has been updated?

download from moddb only, or github?

[balmy chasm]

Moddb build is old, but have a user-friendly setup guide. Github build is newer, but... You will put some effort into making it run

[twin sandal]

where is it?

is for a friend

i checked the pinned messages but the only link available is the moddb one

[cloud crypt]

https://github.com/Ekozmaster/NFSU2-RTX-Remix

[twin sandal]

cool. thank you. which is the actual state of the project? too much time has passed since i tested it.

[balmy chasm]

In-progress. You can scroll up a bit to check the state of things. Even though a lot of changes were made in Github build

[timid prairie]

Congrats guys, its been 2 years since all of this Started

It started at May 4th of 2023
Now its May 10th of 2025

[cloud crypt]

2 years, and we still have nearly no progress

[sharp sinew]

didnt everyone stop working on this?

[ember cobalt]

very slow progress once in a while in their server for it, but development overall has stalled

[timid prairie]

yep

[twin sandal]

please pin the newest build links on the discord

thanks

[cloud crypt]

the thing is, i would like to redo the lighting, add more sources etc

but it makes almost no sense if the materials keep changing and meshes are still being adjusted

[spiral fable]

hey, im looking to download this on my 3090, would it run well ?

also, are cars finally shiny or are they still reflectionless like they were at the beggining ?

[cloud crypt]

In the latest build cars should be reflective.
And well, should it run well? I have a 4070Ti (which is a tiny bit faster in raster and a bit more faster in raytracing) and i am lucky if i hit 80FPS 1440P DLSS Balanced

[solemn salmon]

#1103377328530276403 message Here you can see how this mod performs on a Mobile 3050 [which only has 4GB VRAM]. It was playable and Enjoyable on DLSS Performance [but stable 60fps was only in Ultra Performance], maybe it could now run better thanks to the newer Remix version, maybe someday i'll check it out again.
Also you can make the Cars shiny with some tweaks which were posted here a long time ago [sometime around when i posted this video here].

[honest coral]

link download ?

[vital pewter]

hello, i managed to download the mod/files and install it but its not working properly, game is running like its in slow motion and the graphics dont look how its in the YT video

[balmy chasm]

Do you by chance have GPU worse than RTX 3060?

[balmy chasm]

What if I.... Tell you Ambulance might not be a traffic you can actually meet in game?

[cloud crypt]

thats what i thaught too. You just dont see it in traffic. The only ones i saw where the vans, sedans, taxis and hatches

[vital pewter]

no, it has a similar performance of a 4070 or 4070ti from what i remember. im currently with a RX 7900 GRE

i was going to get the 4070 super if im not mistaken but at the time they ran out of stock and the only RTX available at the time was either too weak or way above of what i could afford

[long vigil]

Bro forget about anything RTX labeled on AMD videocard.

[cloud crypt]

your statement is ridiculous... All i need to say is RX 9060/70

those cards have a pretty decent RT performance

https://youtu.be/ASxGRm4QdN4?si=E0zEActXOeLZ7fj-&t=121

If you particulary had said that the 7000 cards of AMD are bad at RT I would have agreed

[vital pewter]

i thought it would work decently cause in games u can use RT without a lot of problems

[trail quail]

Oh well I have the van model and stuff

[balmy chasm]

Ambulance van?

[sharp sinew]

are we back burrito?

this whole server was pretty much just need for speed for a while. miss seeing it

[jade briar]

We're back

I'm feeling the crunch that real game people feel

There's still work to do

Bugs to sort out

A video to make and edit

And I may even do some feature creep

[jade briar]

[eternal wraith]

@timid ginkgo your spouse nfsu2 rtx got an update congrats

[timid ginkgo]

wha

[timid ginkgo]

spouse????????

[jade briar]

Huh

[eternal wraith]

im guessing i misread your love of the game

[eternal wraith]

.

[jade briar]

[vapid gust]

i have never seen this kind of bug, is that a known one? 😄 (pardon my use of nickname)

[jade briar]

Ah. This is a remix issue. For some reason it randomly assigns the wrong texture to a hero vehicle. I have no idea why this happens

Will look into it

[balmy chasm]

It stopped messing hero car textures after some reboots on my side. I didn't even start complaining and it was gone already

[jade briar]

It's not a mod issue

What I want to know is

What's the nickname

[vapid gust]

🤫

[marble creek]

Has anyone encountered the situation where the cursor is visible when the focus is on the game?

[vapid gust]

side effect of borderless window mode apparently

[dusty grove]

Guys why didn't u make roads wet - as in original game?

[jade briar]

You ain't an OG if you son't remember this
https://youtu.be/WxJyH-jK7mk

[dusty grove]

I think I tried every single version, I even have this one

[jade briar]

haha

Thx, I hate it

I still want to make the roads more reflective

Maybe even do something about the rain using the api

[vapid gust]

guys i found the gas station of heaven

[dusty grove]

fog+bloom is deadly combo, also raised exposure doesn't help either xD

[cloud crypt]

Original game does not have wet roads

Its caused by the game engine cause it doesnt utalize normals maps. That way the roads get reflective

Especially when the alpha channel shows through

[dusty grove]

nope it does, it literally has setting for it. YES textures are blurry, but when u actually drive - u can see light sources reflect on asphalt.

[cloud crypt]

Thats true yes, still roads arent wet.
And what i said mainly applies when you change road textures in the base game (texed or texmod, binary excluded)
Im quit a while now into nfs modding

For example i did this to carbon

[cloud crypt]

Last year btw

[snow coral]

is it normal that the taillights donty work?

[cloud crypt]

Vanilla car taillights work. Only the aftermarket parts currently dont work (atleast for me)

[snow coral]

doesnt work for me

idk why

havent changed any settings

except the ingame

to what the ss said to do in the guide

[balmy chasm]

Can you post a screenshot?

[dusty grove]

rain effect needs some love, also all traffic needs emmisive headlights - in distance or any dark place u cannot see it coming, especially during race. (just like early versions of mod)

[balmy chasm]

Traffic light visibility is something to be resolved with how glass is rendered in combination with noise reduction. But compared to previous versions, there is a clearly visible reflection from lights casted. Also check completely dark areas and you will see difference more clear

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1165396161922879538/1395088375920463923/image.png?ex=687dca0c&is=687c788c&hm=e23e3add6d50716381607036498ef81e5a5340d8be3040e78ad65d05bd692eca
There are no Emissives textures now. Only this

[jade briar]

ROADS
THAT SHINE

WET

[jade briar]

They don't

[bright hedge]

ah man that widescreen is so cursed xD

[eternal wraith]

@jade briar look who it is

[jade briar]

[jade briar]

@forest jetty

There

Took a second to find your name

[jade briar]

Alright man, sure

I guess we can't be friends after all

[vernal jolt]

#1028476031738327172forthefuture

do a gas and tire mod like xtreme racer

[balmy chasm]

What is that?

[velvet geyser]

is there anywhere I can download nfsu2 other than abandonware ?

[ember cobalt]

that's not allowed here

[jade briar]

I'm getting reports that the headlights aren't working for some people. If anyone experiences this bug, please let me know.

[safe geyser]

after some time playing i get crash, anyone knows why ?

[balmy chasm]

Try rebooting pc. If it doesn't help, please provide more details about the crash

[sharp swallow]

Yo, who from the UG2 Remix team did the Racing Hart CP-FTune R wheels for Rachel's 350z? i would like to ask permissions to use that rim model for another project.

[sharp swallow]

nvm lol

[safe geyser]

Game just freeze after 15-20 mins of gameplay

[balmy chasm]

Sounds like hardware issue. What are your specs?

[scenic cloak]

Can someone help me my game is so dark and Traffic Cars glowing red, my brightness is on 100% and I have an RTX5070

[balmy chasm]

You didn't install mod correctly

[scenic cloak]

I watched a tutorial and downloaded the game with the mod from someone and I always have the same bugs

[balmy chasm]

Check pins. I highly doubt there is anyone re-hosting the latest version right now

[jade briar]

Can you post a link to that tutorial

[scenic cloak]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_rMO9PtReo

[jade briar]

@old condor Please change the download link to the official mod page.
People are having issues and I can't help fix what I didn't make.
Also why are you calling it 0.4.7? I released 0.4.

[balmy chasm]

Cuz it says ...0.4.7z on website. Quite confusing

[jade briar]

oh...

7zip

lmao

[jade briar]

Make a fresh install of your game. So completely clean. No mods.
Download the mod from the official link (pinned in the channel) and install it that way.

[scenic cloak]

I just did and the game is now running without problems, but I still have one question, is it normal that the Nissan 240SX has no taillights?

They do not light up and are not even in the body of the vehicle

[balmy chasm]

That is something to be fixed with Remix updates in the future. Unstable mesh in that place simply covers the light source 👀

[cloud crypt]

It should be clear that you guys need the US version of the game + the widescreenfix by ThirteenAG

[jade briar]

I have put everything in the archive so it's just drag and drop. All you need is the us version of the game

[safe geyser]

My specs are amd ryzen 5 7535hs 16 gb ram rtx 4050 8gb

[cloud crypt]

hm, should run fine on 1080p internal resolution dlss balanced

[safe geyser]

yea i know but idk why keeps freezing

[bright hedge]

1080p dlss usually looks so shitty

[dry zealot]

I have a problem where my game is only running in the background, but it never opens, any help with it?

[dry zealot]

Anyone???

[jade briar]

uhm

What game version?

[dry zealot]

I grabbed the game from this video, not sure tho

[jade briar]

ugh

stop using that video guys

It's broken

[dry zealot]

Ok

[jade briar]

@old condor pls bro stop redistributing the mod. It's broken and people are coming to me to ask for fixes.

Maybe he'll listen this time.

[dry zealot]

Which version of the game do I need to have? I'm going to try and install it by myself

[jade briar]

You need the latest US version of the game

I can't tell you where to get it from. That, you'll have to do yourself.

[dry zealot]

I have my ways

I think

[scenic cloak]

@jade briar I now have a new bug, my game crashes directly when I start it or I get an RTX remix error, before that my game worked great

[jade briar]

Show the error please

[scenic cloak]

It's so weird, all my bugs are gone, I just started my pc again to get the RTX remix error for you and the game is running again

[jade briar]

strange

[scenic cloak]
